Economic development has new driving force
Monies available to local businesses
by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – On Thursday, June 21, the economic development committee of Shell Lake met with Greg Krantz to discuss what is being done in the area and to see how they could share their incentives for businesses. Krantz is now working part time as the Washburn County Economic Development Corporation executive director. Currently there are two vacant lots in the city’s industrial park, and two vacant buildings. The city is trying to get those areas filled. Although Krantz explained that he cannot steer a business to a specific place, he will ask them what they are looking for and tell them who to speak with accordingly. Ken Schultz, EDC committee chair, said, “For some of you that may not be aware, the Washburn County EDC has made some changes. We have a new, very active director. We are fortunate that Mr. Krantz is going to be here and explain some of the programs he is putting together. He is taking a very, very aggressive approach at diversifying his efforts to many different areas to try to get the word out that Washburn County has an awful lot of money that is available out there for businesses to expand, relocate, to build, to educate, and I could go on and on. I was truly surprised at the number of funds that are out

there that we are having trouble making people aware of and letting people know that they are there to help them.” Before, there were no funds to support an executive director position; however, since the committee is now doing better financially, they have decided to fund the position and let Krantz be the driving force to encourage businesses in the area to apply for funding to expand, stay afloat and thrive. Part of the economic development program is also to encourage new businesses to come to the area. Not only do they supply funding, but they also provide incentives to help get businesses here.
Seasonal residents As part of the process, the organization is marketing to seasonal residents. “We are actively going to pursue the second-home owners who have improvements that are above the 50,000 mark,” Krantz explained. “We join up with the Washburn County Tourism. There’s a possibility that they have a business somewhere else and would like to expand it. We have sent out postcards saying Work Where you Play.” “They should be able to come and enjoy the area year-round just as we do,” Schultz added.

Legwold of the Wisconsin National Guard hold a signed statement of support for veterans during their visit to Heartwood Conference Center and Retreat (special photo at left).
TREGO - More than 40 restaurant owners and suppliers were in attendance Monday, June 25, when Brig. Gen. Scott D. Legwold of the Wisconsin National Guard and Dick Vallin, state chair of the Wisconsin Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, arrived via Wisconsin National Guard Blackhawk helicopter at the Heartwood Conference Center and Retreat in Trego. The center hosted the Wisconsin Restaurant Association Board of Directors’ quarterly board of directors meeting. The restaurant owners and suppliers had the opportunity to meet with the brigadier general and Vallin. “I urge restaurants in Wisconsin to sign the statement of support and commit to meeting the criteria as a way to offer their support for Guard and Reserve employees who continue to answer their nation’s call to defend our way of life,” said Ed Lump, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Restaurant Association. “The restaurant industry is the largest private sector employer in the state, so we feel our association can make a difference by encouraging restaurants and foodservice businesses in Wisconsin to offer their support to veterans.” The ESGR Statement of Support program is an effort to gain and maintain employer support for the Guard and Reserve. The intent of the program is to encourage employers to consider hiring veterans and to support employee participation in the military. - with submitted information

by Gregg Westigard Special to the Register SHELL LAKE – A few Washburn County residents will see a new name on the ballot when they go to the polls Nov. 6. The county is divided into two Assembly districts, and the district lines were changed slightly after the 2010 census. The Town and city of Spooner are now in the northern District 73, and the towns of Bass Lake and Crystal are now in the southern District 75. Voters in the 75th District will have a choice between incumbent Roger Rivard and Stephen Smith. Nick Milroy is running unopposed in District 73.

Personal wealth plays big role in Wisconsin political races
by Shawn Johnson Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - The Republican primary for U.S. Senate is less than two months away. One of the wild cards is how much personal wealth some of the candidates will sink into the race. Personal wealth has been a big factor in Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate races. Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s ability to self-finance his campaign helped him come out of relative obscurity to defeat Russ Feingold in 2010. Democratic U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl’s personal wealth helped him launch his political career and helped him fend off challengers over his several terms in office. There are a few millionaires running for U.S. Senate this year on the Republican side. Reports filed with the Federal Elections Commission show hedge fund manager Eric Hovde had already contributed $1.5 million to his campaign by the end of March. Former Congressman Mark Neumann spent millions on his failed bid for governor in 2010 and won’t
rule out spending money on his Senate race. “I would not say final decisions on all of that are made, but I will say this. We are going to communicate our conservative message of balancing the budget by cutting spending and ending ObamaCare to the voters of this state” Neumann had not given money to his Senate campaign as of his last federal report. Former Gov. Tommy Thompson has not historically self-financed his races, although he reported a net worth of roughly $13 million earlier this year. Federal figures showed he’d given $25,000 to his Senate campaign. Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald is the only nonmillionaire running among the four Republicans and had spent no personal money on his Senate race. On the Democratic side, Tammy Baldwin reports personal assets of between $500,000 and $1 million in a blind trust. So far she’s given no money to her own campaign.

ago, Washburn County had more than $400,000 invested in businesses. “We are heavily invested in Shell Lake and Spooner,” he noted. “We have a lot of businesses that have $20,000-$30,000 loans. That’s the key to economy. Those are the people that keep your Main Streets full. If your Main Street is empty, no one wants to move to town.” The outlook is positive and the city is excited to see what Krantz and the Washburn County Economic Development Corporation will be able to do for the area.

Association. But you can protect yourself and your family by knowing these simple facts and tips: • Never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks. • Adults igniting the fireworks should always wear eye protection and never have any part of the body over the firework. • Only buy fireworks from reliable sellers. • Use fireworks only outdoors. • Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fireworks. • Always have water handy, either a garden hose or a bucket.
ATV park On Tuesday, June 26, a select few members from the city council attended a meeting in Wausau to see if they will be given funds for an ATV park proposal. Last year the council voted to turn down the funds unless they received a certain amount, and they ended up turning down $250,000. This year, they will be accepting funds if given the chance. See possible updates to this story on our Web site wcregisteronline.com.
• Light fireworks on a smooth, flat surface away from buildings, dry leaves and flammable materials. • Light only one firework at a time. • Never throw or point fireworks at other people or animals. • Keep your pets indoors to reduce the risk that they will run loose and get injured. Many animals have very sensitive ears and can be stressed or frightened due to the lighting of fireworks. The best advice, leave the fireworks displays to trained professionals. Then sit back and “ohhh … ahhh” as you enjoy the show. — from Washburn County Emergency Management

Thoughts about our nation’s founding this Fourth of July
The Fourth of July is a celebration of the bloody battles at Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill that began the war of the American Revolution, and resulted in the founding of the United States of America on July 4, 1776. The Founding Fathers of the USA came from 13 very different colonies with different cultures, different religions and different economic interests. In spite of these differ-
ences, they sought to unite as one nation so that all might do better. For 70 years things were better and the nation grew, but differences festered. Then because the disagreements grew, a vicious civil war was fought to preserve the union and the dream of the nation’s forefathers. This dream, that all Americans will do better by working out problems together and staying united, was
kept alive at the cost of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of our citizens. On this Fourth of July the nation finds itself with serious divisions once again. The answers to these divisions may well be found in the original intent of the framers of our nation. That is the respectful and civil debate of issues affecting the nation and Wisconsin. All of our collective history shows that when we work
together we all can do better. As you celebrate our nation’s founding, please think about the dreams of our Founding Fathers and the sacrifices of its soldiers; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Stephen Smith 75th District Assembly candidate
Several discussions with Congressman Duffy about eduational issues
Seeing Congressman Duffy walk through the crowds at county fairs meeting constituents and exchanging ideas is not unusual. His parade-walkers wear Duffy shirts and greet the audience. Some of his parade walkers have carried signs that read “Conservative Teachers (heart) Duffy,” a strong reminder of how important educational issues are in any political season. Duffy and I have had several discussions about educational issues. The congressman understands that educators are determined to address misleading comparisons about the cost of educating students in America with the cost of educating students in other countries. Many countries do not provide educational opportunities and/or address quality of life issues for the neediest children as Americans do. These services, usually required through unfunded mandates, contribute significantly to the average cost of educating an American student. Aware of this issue, Duffy explained, “I am looking at what Washington does and its impact on the states. When Washington mandates state gov-
ernments to provide a service, it must find a way to pay for those services.” While advocating respect for life, America has found the most humane and least expensive way to meet the requirements of children who have special needs. Yet, that cost to the educational system is great. Special education involves unfunded mandates, which distort the actual cost of educating students
in America. Dr. Ronald Heilmann Jr., superintendent of the Eau Claire School District, summarized the concerns of several administrators, “Educators are eager to provide the best educational environment for every child, but mandates for special education have consistently been underfunded and distort the actual cost of educating students which places an additional burden on school budg-
For the past 10 years, Wisconsin has made significant progress in reducing the number of teen and young adult smokers. But, a new study from Legacy published in the May issue of the Journal of Environmental and Public Health shows a new disturbing trend: more than 30 percent of current tobacco users aged 18 to 34 are “dual users.” Dual use, or the use of cigarettes plus another tobacco product such as chewing tobacco, little cigars or hookah, is on the rise. The reason for the alarming trend isn’t that difficult to decipher. Big tobacco is investing heavily in new products to entice younger users. Many of these new products feature candy flavors and bright packaging, so it’s no surprise that many young people use them thinking they’re safe. For example, it’s not common to hear of someone having serious health issues due to
smoking from a hookah, and it might be difficult to think that Camel Mellow Orbs will give you oral cancer when they look as fun as orange Tic Tacs. Don’t be fooled though; there is no safe form of tobacco use. Smokeless tobacco contains at least 28 carcinogens, or toxic chemicals hazardous to a person’s health. The perception that these products are a safe alternative has increased. It wasn’t until high school that I met a friend that had a love relationship with the chewing tobacco brand Skoal. In this situation, I am thankful that high school students keeping friends personal information private is like holding a candle to the wind; it just doesn’t work. His friends quickly spread the news that his dentist told him that his chewing habit was already eroding his gums at the age of 16! We also viewed what addiction is as he continued his chewing knowing
that it could realistically give him cancer. Not to mention, his Gatorade bottle full of chewing spit wasn’t the most attractive thing either. If you would like to see how he might look in the future, Google smokeless tobacco images. Overall, if it wasn’t for this spread of information many of us would have still been oblivious to the risks. This new study is just another re-

Rivard praises redesign of higher education
Focuses on competency while touting affordability and convenience
RICE LAKE — Rep. Roger Rivard, RRice Lake, is pleased to publicize the UW Flexible Degree, which will make fouryear university degrees easier to attain, more flexible and cheaper for all Wisconsinites. “This will be an incredible opportunity for Wisconsin residents,” said Rivard. “The ability to start or complete a degree in higher education is now within reach of everyone. Not only is it within reach, it will be more affordable, and it will allow students to demonstrate knowledge gained outside of the classroom and earn credits for that knowledge.” The UW Flexible Degree is a new system in which prospective students would get a more affordable degree through the UW system, all at their own
pace and in their own homes. The system is based off of competency, not seat time, which awards credits for what the student already knows, regardless of where they learned it. When this system is in place, Rivard believes that education will be transformed so that the high-quality education that the UW system provides will be available anywhere to anyone and allow residents of the 75th District to complete their degrees while balancing their busy life. The UW Flexible Degree would be a working collaboration within the existing UW System, which means that the flexible degree would have the same high-quality standards that the UW schools promote inside their classrooms. It is an innovative approach to education that will be affordable, flexible and focused on getting people trained for jobs. For more information, please contact Rivard at 888-534-0075 or e-mail Rep.Rivard@legis.wi.gov. — from the office of Rep. Rivard
ets.” Superintendents across northern Wisconsin are concerned that comparing costs of educating children in America to that cost in other countries is unrealistic especially because special-education mandates require American school budgets to include medical and hospitalization costs for severely disabled children. Superintendents identify students with severe disabilities that require medical assistance costing the districts $30,000 to $116,000 a year per child. Educational systems in most other countries are not responsible for these costs, therefore, a fair comparison of the cost for educating children in America would remove the cost of special education from the formula. Because the Supreme Court ruled that every child had a “right to a free appropriate public education,” the American educational system should not be criticized for costs greater than those in less supportive countries.

SPOONER — The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting area residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®. The Alzheimer’s Association Greater Wisconsin Chapter will be holding 30 walks this September and October to benefit programs and research for those with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. A walk will be held in Spooner on Saturday, Sept. 15. Registration begins at 9 a.m. at the Cornerstone Church, 106 Balsam Street, with the walk starting in 10 a.m. “Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is more than a walk. It is an experience for nearly 5,000 people in the Greater Wisconsin Chapter area,” said Diana Butz, development and marketing director for the Greater Wisconsin Chapter. “These walkers walk with a purpose – to help reach our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease. Walkers also learn how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, the latest in Alzheimer’s research and clinical trial enrollment to support programs and services. Each walker will also join in a meaningful ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. “There has never been a greater need for the citizens of Wisconsin to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s®,” said Butz. “Funds raised will provide care and support services to the residents of Wisconsin living with Alzheimer’s, while also contributing to advancing critically needed research.” Start or join a team today at alz.org/walk or call 800272-3900. — from Alzheimer’s Association

Not OK. Perfectly fitting pockets with no design equals a nicely shaped behind. Sometimes the crotches in the jeans are too low and it’s really uncomfortable and you keep hiking up your pants but you end up with high waters. The small waist forces me to wear a belt, but the belt comes above the pants which may result in “I see London, I see France, I see Abby’s underpants.” Almost defeated, I walk into an Old Navy. Jeans on sale for $20? OK, let’s try them on. Regular length looks OK. Changing room please. One leg ... next leg ... zip, button, mirror check. They fit like a glove! It fits perfectly around the waist without squashing my assets, and the length makes my legs look lean and long without puddling at the bottom. New jeans that fit just right can make anyone feel better. You like how you look, you like to accept the challenge of matching shirts and shoes and accessories with the look of the jeans, and you feel just a little bit more confident than you did before the purchase of the jeans. Everyone has that favorite piece of clothing - a favorite T-shirt, shoes or pants - that they love to wear because of how it makes them look and feel. A great pair of jeans is hard to come by - a lot like coming across a great friend. They are unique, they fit you perfectly and you never want to let them go – even if they smell, are worn out and nobody else likes them.

Support team still doing projects for soldiers
SPOONER — The Spooner Northwoods Support Team has been busy sewing neck coolers and gathering gum, drink mixes, candy, toothbrushes, paste and dental floss along with other goodies for two groups of soldiers serving in Afghanistan. The heat in Afghanistan is in the triple digits, so the neck coolers will be very much appreciated. The support team will be having a booth at the Washburn County Fair the last weekend in July. They invite everyone to stop by and see the scrapbook the support team has put together about the projects the team has done for the soldiers away from home. The book also includes a lot of thank-you notes received from soldiers. The purpose of the Northwoods Support Team is to raise community awareness and donations to support heroes away from home. Donations and volunteer help support the program. The group does fundraisers at times to help out.

or this report, I wanted to include a little bit about how the inspection program works and the invasive species we are trying to protect our lake from. The landing is covered every day of the week from 6 a.m.- 8 p.m. The inspection consists of looking over the boat to make sure there are no weeds on it and asking the boater a few questions; such as the last lake they were on, and how long the boat has been dry. These questions help us determine the likelihood of there being Eurasian water milfoil on the boat. Three of the invasives we check for are curly leaf pondweed, Eurasian water milfoil and zebra mussels. Beaver Dam Lake, Nancy Lake, the Totagatic River, Shallow Lake and the Minong Flowage are all
The team will be sending treats for Halloween and then will soon start working on the Christmas Stocking Project. If there is anyone who would like to get involved with helping collect items or would like more information, they can contact Darlene Heller at 715-6352930 or e-mail darlene_heller@yahoo.com or contact Lynda Marquardt at 715-635-6237 or e-mail her at lyn_marquardt@hotmail.com. The committee members are also available to visit groups or organizations to do a presentation about what they are doing and what the needs are. The help of the community is needed to be able to accomplish the projects for the soldiers. Anyone who knows of a local soldier serving overseas can contact the Northwoods Support Team members as they may be able to get that unit adopted. — from NST
nearby bodies of water that contain Eurasian water milfoil. Bodies of water in neighboring counties that contain zebra mussels include the St. Croix River and Lake Superior. Also, Spooner Lake contains curly-leaf pondweed, making it even more important to check your boat when you leave that lake. We also charge a launch fee at the Shell Lake landing. The money from those sales goes toward supporting the inspection program and the maintenance of the boat landing. The launch fee buys a launch permit, which cost $5 for a 24-hour permit and $20 for a year. The past two weeks have brought in 266 boats to the landing. We sold 64 daily permits and 55 annual permits.

eing a woman, I get excited over new clothes. Although I am not much of an avid shopper - I never buy designer clothes, I refuse to buy jeans over $30, and my shoe collection consists of shoes bought from Target, Plato’s Closet or Payless - I still get excited over a brandnew pair of jeans that fit just right. Finding a pair of jeans that fit just right is a mission for me. I’m 5 feet 3 inches tall and most jeans I try on have a foot of cloth puddled at the end of my legs. I look in the mirror of the changing room and wonder where my feet have disappeared to. Most women’s jeans come in three length sizes: tall, regular and short. I’m too tall to be a short and too short to be a regular. Can’t they invent things like regular short or in-between regular and short? Next problem I have is I have a smaller waist but a large caboose and hips. So I slip on the jeans that I found that finally fit my length, annnd … I can barely squeeze them on but there is 6 inches of gap around my waist. I look in the mirror. Now I wonder where my butt went and, if I bought these, would anyone be able to tell what color of underwear I’m wearing? My thighs are sucked in, my butt looks as flat and squashed as a pancake, and I attempt to sit down. On second thought - not worth it. And I’m pretty sure the store has a “you rip it, you buy it” policy. Off they go. Another problem is the back pockets. Yes they make a difference. Buttons on the back? It looks twice as big. Too small of pockets?

Lightning Safety Awareness Week
When Thunder Roars … Go Indoors!
MADISON – Each year more than 400 people are struck by lightning in the United States. An average of 54 people are killed and hundreds of others suffer lifelong pain and permanent neurological disabilities. In Wisconsin we have had 23 lightning deaths since 1982. You can protect yourself and your family by knowing these simple lightning safety facts and tips: • If you hear thunder, you are in danger. Don’t be fooled by blue skies. If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to pose an immediate threat. Remember: When Thunder Roars … Go Indoors! A fully enclosed building with wiring and plumbing offers the best protection. Sheds, picnic shelters and covered porches do not protect you from lightning. If a building is not available get into a hard-topped metal vehicle and close all the windows. Stay inside a safe building or vehicle for at least 30 minutes after you hear the last clap of thunder. • Don’t use a corded phone except in an emergency. Cordless and cell phones are safe to use. • Keep away from electrical equipment and wiring. • Because water pipes conduct electricity, don’t take a bath or shower or use other plumbing during a storm. • Stay away from isolated tall trees, towers or utility poles. Lightning tends to strike the taller objects in an area. • Get an emergency weather radio. It will broadcast the latest forecast for thunderstorms. Remember, any thunderstorm, whether it is severe or not, can produce deadly lightning. Act fast if someone is struck by lightning: Lightning victims don’t carry an electric charge and are safe to touch and need urgent medical attention. Cardiac arrest is the immediate cause of death. • Call 911 immediately. • Give CPR if the person is unresponsive or not breathing. Use an automatic external defibrillator if one is available. • If possible, move the victim to a safer place. Lightning can strike twice. Don’t be a victim.

Lightning facts: • Lightning occurs in all thunderstorms; each year lightning strikes the United States 25 million times. • Lightning often strikes the same place repeatedly, especially tall isolated objects. • Most lightning victims are in open areas or near a tree. • The energy from one lightning flash could light a 100-watt lightbulb for more than 3 months. • The air near a lightning strike is heated to 50,000°F — five times hotter than the surface of the sun! • The rapid heating and cooling of the air near the lightning channel causes a shock wave which results in thunder. Lightning myths: Myth: Rubber tires on a car protect you from lightning by insulating you from the ground. Fact: The metal roof and sides protect you, not the rubber tires. When lightning strikes a vehicle it goes through the metal frame into the ground. Don’t lean on the vehicle doors during a thunderstorm. Myth: If trapped outside and lightning is about to strike you should lie flat on the ground. Fact: Lying flat increases your chance of being hit by a ground current. If you are caught outside in a thunderstorm keep moving toward a safe shelter. Myth: If thunderstorms threaten while you are outside playing a game it is OK to finish before seeking shelter. Fact: Many lightning casualties occur because people do not seek shelter soon enough. No game is worth death or lifelong injuries. Seek shelter immediately if you hear thunder. Adults are responsible for the safety of children. For additional information about lightning safety and awareness go to readywisconsin.wi.gov. You can also contact your local public health department, county emergency management director or the National Weather Service. — from Washburn County Emergency Management

une 21: Mike Carpenter, habitat caretaker, told me he saw four large monarch caterpillars at the habitat. I confirmed and photographed them. Later when I returned home to Minong, I started to mow the lawn. I scared up an unusual medium-sized yellow moth. It had a yellow head and unique markings. After researching the moth in the “Insects Peterson Field Guides,” I noticed that it looked like a geometer species. Then a Google image search confirmed it was a crocus geometer, Xanthotype sospeta. What a beauty. June 22: Sandy Stein, secretary of Happy Tonics, Joyce Schraufnagel and I had lunch at Lakeview Bar & Grill. Afterward we strolled over to the Monarch Butterfly Habitat. The weather was fine and there was little wind. We saw monarch caterpillars about ready to change into a chrysalis. Sandy took photos. Sulphur butterflies were seen flitting about. The native grasses provided a hiding place for small skipper butterflies. I pointed out two colonies of prairie clover and dotted mint that has now formed new colonies. It is exciting to note when native plants migrate. How plants move and multiply into new colonies is a mystery, espe-

cially when a new site is a distance from the mother plant. Of course, birds and wind could scatter seed. Mike Carpenter has the habitat looking wonderful. As an employee of 22 hours, the habitat is looking better than ever. Happy Tonics is grateful to Experience Works for providing Mike who is hardworking and doing such a good job. June 23: Unfortunately, we were rained out for the National Bee Count at the Monarch Butterfly Habitat. People around the country are collecting data on bee populations in yards, gardens, schools and parks. This determines where bee populations are strong or weak. The Great Sunflower Project sponsors the project to determine how bee populations are doing and compares the numbers to averages. The purpose

is to document research as to how at-risk bee populations are affecting gardens, crops and wildlands. The project started in 2008. We will be submitting bee photos that we have documented over the spring and early summer to Pollinator Organization. July 1: Rivka Kawano, a book marketing consultant and her family, will be visiting Minong and Shell Lake over the holiday. Rivka and her husband, Joe, own New Media Design Studio, in Grand Rapids, Mich. The business specializes in social media and company branding services. She also owns Beautiful Books, a Web site that reviews children’s books and interviews authors about published children’s books. A book review for my book, “My Name is Butterfly,” will go live on June 28. July 4: Don’t forget to visit the Monarch Butterfly Habitat during the day. Happy Tonics will be selling framed, small, fine art watercolor paintings, providing it is not raining. Happy Tonics received a large donation of fine art in 2012. This is an opportunity for the average citizen to take home a real painting. The nonprofit is also hosting its first artist-sponsored exhibit on July 4. Joe and Jacki Valdez, Hayward, will be displaying and selling wooden colorful butterflies. Butterflies are mounted on posts or can be nailed to a tree or building. The butterfly colors are vibrant and sure to please a crowd. The National Butterfly Count will take place at 1011 a.m. and 1-2 p.m. Sign up beforehand at 715-4665349. Happy Tonics will supply materials for recording. Meet us at the habitat at 9:30 am for a short talk and photos on butterfly species. Bring a lawn chair. Water will be provided. July 11: I will be flying to the East Coast. I will be in Massachusetts and Upper State New York until Sept. 9. Because of the upcoming trip and commitments to marketing my books, “My Name is Butterfly” and the Monarch Butterfly Coloring Book, I will not be submitting Happy Tonics news while traveling. Have a safe and joyful summer, Butterfly Corner friends.

And then there was a garden
by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - Julie Symond, owner of My Favorite Things on Fifth Avenue in Shell Lake, which is a gift store specializing in Fenton glassware along with all sorts of clever things, is always looking for ways to improve her shop, inside and out. The usual comment from visitors and locals alike when they enter the door is, “Wow.” Now that she’s tackled the inside of her store, she decided the tiny lot between her building and the one to her east needs attention. “We had used it for all sorts of things since I’ve owned the building,” she said. “My sons have sold our farm corn out of it, and Happy Tonics donated a picnic table and pots for plants at one point, but it was becoming neglected space, and I thought a public garden would look nice there. “We gave it a French theme because of the shape of the metal archway I had. It was named La Jardin au calme, which in English means the Garden of Calm. A group of volunteers created the plan and executed it starting in late April.” The goal was to have the garden finished by Memorial Day, Symond noted, but every time they started working on another part of the plan, there was some drawback of some sort or another. First, with help from the city, they found out that the lot line wasn’t over as far as they thought it was to the other building, so the garden had to be smaller than the original
It was Julie Symond’s dream to use her small stretch of property next to her shop, My Favorite Things on Fifth Avenue in Shell Lake, as a welcoming public space. – Photos by Diane Dryden

drawings. Then the diggers hit a cement slab under the dirt about a foot and a half down while they were preparing the holes for the posts that would hold the metal wall, so it could be covered in climbing plants. The ground is mainly sand and rock, so some of the planting had to be reconsidered, too. “The original area where the bistro set is now sitting was originally going to be made of recycled cement pieces, using the city’s pile of broken sidewalk pieces. After the painstaking work was finished, it was discovered that because the pieces were even with the dirt around it, that it sloped down to the north, just like the rest of the property. “All the cement pieces were removed and a wooden frame was built and leveled and then regular patio blocks were used,” Symond said. “The bistro set that I had bought to use in the garden was a sunny yellow which wouldn’t match the rest of the garden’s blues, lavenders, blacks and pinks, so it had to be sprayed lilac along with the three planters in the front so everything was kept within the same French color pallet. “Once the project started, there was a constant stream of volunteers that stopped by to help, each adding their own expertise to the various jobs. Elaine Brown, an art teacher for over 30 years, designed a sign for the back wall that gets prettier and prettier the closer you get to it, and I’m so honored to have her do it. “The chief plant person assures me that the scarlett

runner beans and native purple morning glories will soon cover the wire wall on one side of the garden, and the same morning glories that are planted on both sides of the archway should be in bloom in about a month. I can hardly wait to see them all in bloom along with the multiple perennials around the perimeter.” Being a public garden, Symond hopes people will feel free to eat their lunch there, or just sit and enjoy their day. “I can’t thank the volunteers enough for all the hours they dedicated to creating this place of calm and beauty,” she added.
Learning to be safe on the farm LEFT: Sara Hank is 12 years old and works on her family farm near Stone Lake. Her labor on the 40-cow family farm is needed. Nearly 1.7 million children under the age of 20 live on farms and ranches. They are expected to work, with chores and field work. An estimated 30,000 are injured in farm-related accidents and about 300 children die each year. Programs like the one Sara went through may help to prevent accidents through education and safety awareness. Male family members account for 90 percent of farm-related accidents.

Spooner Cardinals play toughest teams in Independent League
by Sean Solveson HAUGEN/BRILL — This past weekend the Spooner Cardinal men’s baseball team played three games, two against two of the toughest teams in the Independent League. The Cardinals came into the weekend ranked No. 14 in the state according to an unofficial Wisconsin state baseball Web site, but enthusiasm was curbed as they understood the challenge of playing the top two teams in the league. The Cardinals kicked it off Friday night, June 22, in Haugen against the Hornets in a nonleague contest as a weekend warm-up in front of a large and energetic collection of Cardinal fans. The Cardinals started Dane Gravesen on the mound, who had a fine showing for the first four innings, holding the Hornets to three runs with a few walks and an error or two mixed in. The Hornets threw a few young pitchers who struggled with command and the Cardinals capitalized with 14 runs on the night. Cole Gauger pitched two innings in relief of Gravesen for the Cardinals, and then Tom Romportl threw the last three innings for the Cardinals, displaying good command of his fastball along with a very effective curveball. The Cardinals looked for their momentum from Friday night to carry over to Saturday, June 23, as they went back to Haugen to face the league-leading Haugen Knights. Jeremy Bloomquist started on the mound for the Cardinals and had a good showing, holding the capable Knights lineup to only two earned runs while
pitching nine complete. The Cardinal offense struggled and they were not able to capitalize on opportunities when presented with them. The Cardinals only managed one run as they dropped the contest with the Knights with a score of 1 to 3. On Sunday, June 24, the Cardinals traveled to Brill to play the tough Brill Millers who always have a competitive ball club. Kyle Gauger started from the mound for the Cardinals looking for his third league win on the year. The Cardinal offense flashed hot early with a threerun homer from first baseman Jeremy Bloomquist, but then went dormant. Gauger did well to work out of a few jams that the Millers had him in early, but their hot bats were too much. The Millers hit the ball very well and even when they didn’t, the ball found green grass or deflected off the pitcher for infield hits. Even after Cardinal pitching changes, the Millers struck the ball well and won in decisive fashion with a score of 3-13. Despite a disappointing weekend, the Cardinals are keeping it in perspective, understanding that they faced the top two teams in the league and remain with a respectable record of four wins and three losses. At the halfway point in the season the Cardinals are looking to grab four more wins in the second half to secure a top seed for playoffs. They look to get back to winning ways at Cumberland against the surging Islanders on Sunday, July 1, at 1 p.m. Before that they have another home game

of the Spooner Middle School. Longtime Cardinal Sean Solveson commented, saying, “We had a good showing of fans for our last home game, everybody seemed to enjoy themselves.“ Solveson added, “The Legends are a collection of great guys who still love the game and we look forward to playing them.” The Cardinals look to christen their new flagpole on Saturday as they hoist the flag over Merchant Park. The Cardinals are a collection of players mostly from Spooner with a few players mixed in from Stone Lake and Shell Lake. The Cardinals play in the Independent League, which is one of the strongest leagues in the upper half of the state, with the top half of the league making the WBA sanctioned playoffs on a yearly basis. The Cardinals want to make a point to extend gratitude to their loyal fans, the community businesses that support them and encourage all to enjoy the summer at the ballpark with music, food and drink.

Barronett by Judy Pieper
It’s been pretty slow around here this past week. I think everyone is taking a breather after all the frenzy of graduation parties and maybe even catching a little rest before the Fourth of July celebrations and the Spooner Rodeo. Jay, Marcia, and Jace Olson and Jessica and Cedar King and some of their friends traveled up from Clinton, Mo., to visit the Barronett area this past week. In addition to visiting with family and friends, Jace did quite a bit of pitching practicing for his upcoming Little League games. It was the first time their friends had been to the area, and they were impressed with how friendly people are around here. I’m so glad that everyone made them feel welcome. It’s something that we take for granted here in small towns, but maybe it doesn’t happen so much in cities. Joey, Leanne, Oskar and Mischa Reichoff took some time out of their busy day on Sunday to walk up to our garden with us. Oskar, who will soon be celebrating his second birthday, spent most of his time chasing bunnies. He probably thought that they were cute little batteryoperated stuffed toys. We, on the other hand, know they are pests. Joey, who is an expert on birds, pointed out lots of different birds that were flying around up there. He can even identify them by their songs. I would like to be able to do that. Maybe I’m not too old yet to learn. We love watching the birds. Oh, I forgot to tell you, Joey’s dad and mom, Ron and Sue Reichoff, were up from Waupun visiting earlier this month. They stayed for a couple of days and had a great time spending time with the family and, I’m sure, spoiling the grandkids just a little bit. We saw Ron and Kay Theese at the Red Brick Cafe on Sunday morning. Hadn’t seen them for quite a while. They were enjoying breakfast and chatting with lots of friends who happened to be there. Alyssa Vargo is going to be celebrating a birthday this week, on June 28. I bet she’s really glad that big brother Ricky is home for the summer. Little girls just seem to have more fun with a big brother around to pick on. Morgan and Bella Neitzel walked over to Rick and Robin Theese’s place to check out their garage sale on Sunday. Bella, being a very observant little girl, noticed that they had lots of toys on their sale while she was riding by in a car, so she talked Morgan into taking her back over. I’m sure she found something she just couldn’t live without. This must have been the weekend for people to enjoy doing things with little kids. Lynn Thon had the absolute best weekend with some little ones at her house. Brayden, Kayleigh and Alyssa were there from Cornell while their mom and dad went to a wedding in the Twin Cities. While they were there, Lucas, Cullen, Kurt and Nevaeh, and their moms and grandma, also came over. Duane and I stopped by for about an hour on Sunday afternoon, and, believe me, the place was chaotic. An hour was enough for us. Lynn was loving every minute of it. Mike and Mary Jane Mohlin were up from Belle Plain, Minn., on Saturday. Mary Jane and I went to a few antique shops, one of our favorite things to do, and then we all went to Barron to visit Richard Pieper and Delores Schultz in their new home. We stopped at the Rolling Oaks for supper and to visit a little more before Mike and Mary Jane had to leave for home. It was a good day. We got some postcards from Niagara Falls, along with a note from my friend Bill Evans a few days ago. You probably know how much I brag about the beautiful scenery here in Wisconsin. Well, Bill’s note asked where I could find scenery like that here. OK, Bill — lots of places. The one that comes to mind immediately is Copper Falls State Park. The falls aren’t as big as Niagara, and they’re definitely not as noisy or tourist-packed, but there is a beautiful walking trail and all
kinds of birds and flowers to see. Pat Olson, Dawn Copus and I stopped at Niagara on our way back from Massachusetts one year and, believe me, Copper Falls is nicer. But, keep sending those cards and letters. It’s fun to see where other people are traveling. Shirley Overvig and her daughter, Chris Vocovich, did some traveling earlier this month, too. They flew down to Asheville, N.C., to visit Shirley’s son, Ben Lemke, and do some sightseeing. They took a day trip to the Great Smokey Mountains and hiked to Laurel Falls. Back in Asheville they toured the Biltmore. Shirley said that the mansion and grounds were beautiful. They walked along the Preach Broad River, which runs through the grounds, in order to get up to the mansion. The next day they toured the Grove Inn, which is a hotel where lots of presidents and celebrities have stayed. Shirley
said that Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, George Bush Sr., Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Art Linkletter were some of the people who had been there at one time or another. There is a veranda that runs around three sides of the inn and overlooks the valley, and they sat there for a while enjoying the view. On Friday they went to a “drumming” in downtown Asheville. This is an event that happens every Friday evening there. The locals bring their drums, someone starts a beat, and they all join in. People get up to dance to that beat, then one of the drummers will start a new beat and the dancers all change their pace. Shirley said that sitting in on the drumming was one of the high points of their trip. People in North Carolina must be very talented, because Shirley said that there are musicians on just about every street corner, and that most of them are very good. On Saturday they went to a local mar-
ket and saw all the beautiful fresh produce and flowers. She said that they were talking to one woman who was selling enormous beets, and Shirley told her that her beets were only about 2 inches high. The woman told Shirley that her second crop were about that big. Second crop! We’re lucky we have enough warm weather to get one crop of anything but hay around here. They flew back home that afternoon, and you’d think Shirley would take a little quiet time, wouldn’t you? Nope. This past weekend she was in Blaine on Saturday to watch her granddaughter Kalea, play soccer, and on Sunday she went to River Falls for Drake’s 18th birthday. Criminy, when does that woman rest? Our sympathy goes out to the family of Kathern Austin, who passed away last week. That’s about all I know from Barronett. Have a great week and I’ll see you later
discards. I was at a church sale, and I was going through some clothing neatly arranged in stacks, according to size. For some reason, I removed my denim jacket, perhaps it was very hot in the building. I set it aside for a moment and chose a garment. When I turned back to pick up my jacket, it was gone. Someone had decided to buy my jacket. I felt like I had lost my best friend. I inquired but none of the ladies who were the cashiers had remembered seeing it. There had been many jackets in among the clothing sold. I described it but it was hopeless. It disappeared into the crowd, and someone, a person unknown, was the new owner. He or she must have found the bargain of a lifetime. I did not learn my lesson. I still attend garage and yard sales and especially enjoy going to the church rummage sales. I classify the goods for sale in several categories. I sometimes find the new, but neverworn items of clothing. Then there are
the little used, like-new clothing. Then there are the almost like new. The next sort of clothing would be the kind that has taken ordinary use and survived intact. One can find very nice items like this for little cost. There would be items worn often, but too good to toss. Then there are some that might not make the grade at a church sale, the really badly worn items. You sometimes see them but pass them by. Since I have no need to outfit a family, I rarely have need of special apparel. Yet, I continue to attend neighborhood sales and church basement sales. I purchase very few items. Why do I continue this practice? The reason is I have embarked on a quest. It is my fervent hope that one day while I am engaged in a casual search of articles of clothing, I shall chance upon a jacket someone has brought in for the sale, a jacket of dark blue denim with blue plaid flannel lining. It will come into my hands like an old friend, and I will welcome it.

The Search
by Mary B. Olsen There may be people who regard used clothing sales as last on their list of places to go. Not me. My time may be better spent elsewhere, certainly, but I have hope in my heart for the chance discovery of a treasure among the rummage. I just love church sales and definitely consider them the best of all used clothing worlds. When I was a child, there were no thrift stores, backyard sales or any kind of place to buy used clothing in my hometown. If a person had a car, they might go to a large city where used merchandise was available at low cost. We were a hundred miles from Chicago. Several times when I was quite small, I accompanied my mother, just the two of us on the train. We emerged at the huge station in Chicago. Then we could walk the busy loop and catch a bus to the South Side and enter the strange world of Maxwell Street. This was near Halstead. It was several blocks of noisy vendors selling used and new merchandise. You could buy wristwatches, bananas or shoes. It was an incredible place. My mother was one who could argue price with merchants. She would dicker with someone and start to walk away, return and get a lower price. It left me amazed, at times. She usually found cheaper clothing, and with her skill as a seamstress, she could outfit our family in nice clothing. About a dozen years ago, a friend of mine, who was an experienced seamstress, agreed to make something for me. I knew she could make almost any kind of clothing a person could want. I told her I would like a jacket, not too light, but good for fall or spring wear. She told me to buy the fabric and pattern, and she would sew it for me. I chose a loose-fitting style, and a dark blue denim and a blue plaid flannel for the lining. In a few days, I was presented with this lovely jacket, perfectly sewn. When I tried it on, the fit was quite good. I was like Cinderella, but my ball gown was this beautiful jacket. I treasured it. My friend has since passed away, but I know I did not thank her enough for her labor. She certainly earned a star in her crown for sewing that garment. That jacket became an integral part of my wardrobe. I wore it for several years, in spring and fall, and it kept me from the chill of evening many times. It washed like a dream, with no ironing necessary. In short, I was well pleased with it. So in the changing seasons, when people are changing their clothing from light to warmer, or warm to beach wear, I ventured into many yard or garage sales. Sometimes I would find items I liked, and sometimes not. It was never as exciting as the old Maxwell Street, but I liked to see the used clothing and partly used

Sarona by Marian Furchtenicht
Summer officially started last week with a drier streak of weather forecast. Corn and soybeans in our area are looking great, except for the low areas that were drowned with all the rain. Seems good to have my backyard pond higher as the lily pads were taking over. Ditch mowing was done this past week in the town of Sarona and it looks so nice and makes it so much safer. The work was done by low bidder Keith Martini, who did such a nice, neat job. Mosquitoes have started. They’ll be plentiful with the wet weather and the lightning bugs are out at night. Krista and Karl Okonek and son Jaydon, and Marlene Hansen drove out to Wheaton, Minn., Friday morning where Krista and Karl were attendants for a wedding for Jessi Zibell and Steve Poorwell. The newlyweds had been attendants at Karl and Krista’s wedding and were college friends of Krista’s. Marlene went along to baby-sit with grandson Jaydon. They returned Sunday night. Butch and Evelyn Schaffer were at their cabin on Big Siss on the weekend. There was a huge turnout for the 50th celebration for Gene and Charlotta Romsos held at the Greeners Reel ‘Em Inn Saturday afternoon. Congrats to them and many more years together is wished for them. They had name tags for all and I thought that was really thoughtful.
Elfreda West went along with daughter Janet Donatell and attended a double wedding shower for granddaughter Allison Stubfors who will be marrying soon and for grandson Tom Stubfor’s new wife, Megan, hosted by Ann Andrea in Rice Lake. Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson, were up visiting his mom on the weekend. Sympathy to the family of Ida Schlapper Winkler, 96, Rice Lake. Her funeral was held at Skinner Funeral Home in Rice Lake on Friday. She grew up in West Sarona on the Schlapper family farm and was a sister-inlaw to Mavis Schlapper. Pam Cernocky of Elk Mound came up and took her mom, Mavis Schlapper, to attend the funeral. Wayne Schlapper, Stevens Point, and his sister, Ann’s husband, Dave Pestorious, Emmons, Minn., came up on their bikes and visited Mavis Schlapper on Saturday. They went out to the Hideaway for dinner and also went to Backwoods Saloon in honor of Mavis’ birthday. They were leaving to go out by Green Bay to attend a motorcycle display on Sunday. Anton and Gloria Frey had shrimp supper on Friday night at daughter Jan and Jeff Johnston’s. On Wednesday, I picked up Elfreda West and Avis Thorp and attended graveside services for Lillian Correll, 98, of Florida. She was an aunt of Elfreda, her mom’s sister and an aunt of mine, my uncle’s wife on my
Isn’t it good to see the sun after our welcome rainstorms? The birds are happy and hungry. Now we have gone as far as we can in June and days will get shorter. Our sympathy to Al Rock, a tenant here at Glenview, who lost his wife Joan, 90, who passed away on June 13 at Terraceview Living Center. Joan was born in England, and Al met her there when he was in the military, and she returned with Al when he came back to the U.S. A memorial service will be held here at Glenview on Saturday, June 30, from 2-4 p.m. Our prayers are with you and your family. Our sympathy also, to the family of Marie Hoecherl who passed away here at Glenview. Services were held at Faith Lutheran Church on Friday. Prayers to you all. Happy birthday to my granddaughter, Stephanie Pederson, June 23. She teaches third grade at Bloomer and lives in Chippewa Falls. Congratulations to Carol and Abner Odden of Cumberland who celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary Sunday, June 24, at the Regency in Cumberland. They were married at the Heart Lake Church. Carol’s brother, Gordon, was best man and I (Helen) was maid of honor. Daughter Judy New of California and son Gary and wife Loretta, and Gary’s son, Gary Jr., took care of the party. Daughter Barbara is on a trip to Switzerland with her husband Dr. Dick Weber of Denver where he practices, and she is a registered nurse in the pediatric ward. Sue and Larry Winner of Solon Springs came to take me to Cumberland for the open house. Congratulations also to Tor Ole Bigton
Odden, son of Phillip and Elsa Bigton Odden and his bride, Jacki Wernew, of Waseka, Minn. Both were graduates of St. Olaf College. The wedding reception and dance were held on the farm of Phil and Elsa in Timberland, Saturday, June 23, in Norwegian style. Milton and Jean Odden, grandparents, attended. Our blessings with you both. Saturday, Jeff Pederson and his grandchildren, Elizabeth, Daniel and Joshua, stopped to see me and brought me strawberries. Rachel’s mom, Karen, is here from California. On Friday, several of our tenants took the bus to Shell Lake State Bank for an icecream treat and a ride around the lake. Brady Marschall went along to Canada with his uncle, Darryl, and Scott Freer, leaving Wednesday and returning Sunday. I hope you had good luck and lots of fish. Last week, Mary and John Marschall and Brent and Joni Stafford went camping on Red Cedar Lake and had a great time. On Saturday night, Arlys Santiago attended the 50th wedding anniversary party for Charlotte and Gene Romsos at Greener’s in Long Lake. Congratulations to you. Gene grew up on a farm adjoining our farm and went to the Timberland church where he was confirmed. Saturday evening, Peder Pederson attended a surprise retirement party for Sandy Mains given by Steve and Cheri Minot at their home. Happy retirement. It’s great! He who helps someone up a hill gets closer to the top himself.

Sympathy to Ken and Gloria Hoecherl’s family in the loss of his mom, Marie. Her funeral was at Faith Lutheran in Spooner on Thursday. It was a very nice service for a very special lady. A great mom, grandma and great-grandma. Sarona folks extend condolences to the Chuck Melton family in his recent death. Get-well wishes to Lilly Ullom who spent a few days in the hospital on the weekend, reports her daughter, Donna. A speedy recovery for Evie Campbell who fell and broke her wrist a couple of weeks ago and has it in a cast. Glad to hear Chuck Lutz is out of the hospital and home at this time. There were about a dozen at the monthly Washburn County Historical Society meeting Thursday night. A pie social fundraiser is planned for Saturday, July 7. Jillian Furchtenicht, along with school friends, enjoyed her sixth birthday at Claire’s in Rice Lake. They played games, painted fingernails and did some hair stuff. What fun for a little girl. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht camped Sunday through Sunday at the Shell Lake campgrounds with family stopping in to visit. Friday night, Ben and Cassie Peterson and baby Harley visited. What a cute baby. Saturday, Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht hosted a birthday brunch for Jillian’s sixth and Jaxson’s fourth, with family members present. It was a very nice and big breakfast. Corey Furchtenicht attended Country Fest Thursday through Sunday with
friends. Sunday evening, Mike West treated his mom, Elfreda West, and I to supper at the Getaway. We had gone to the Whitetail Campground and the Getaway to deliver brochures for local churches, the woodcarving museum and the Washburn County Historical Society. Mary Krantz and I met Dorothy Esser for lunch together at the new Family Restaurant in Spooner and enjoyed a nice visit. Also got to visit with our old friend, Gert Bruner, and her daughter in the booth across from us. It was nice to see them. Thursday through Sunday, the Freys and boys Tony and Kelly, Jim and Lynn, Tim and Alicia, Dave and Kelly Stone and Ben Elliott motorcycled to Thorp to attend the ABATE Summer Hummer. They report a great time. Bands were great as was the food and weather for camping under the stars. There was a good turnout of 39 fourwheelers on the annual Whitetail poker run on Saturday. Saturday, June 30, Rob Knowlton will be furnishing live music at 8 p.m. at the Whitetail. Remember to call me with your news by Friday noon as there is an early deadline.

Technical college program offerings respond to employers
NORTHWEST WISCONSIN — Each year Wisconsin’s technical colleges add and drop dozens of educational programs in response to the changing workplace environment. This effort to match program offerings with employer needs contributes to high placement rates for graduates of Wisconsin’s technical colleges. In response with the projected growth of employment opportunities in the health care industry, Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College has added health information technology and medical office specialist programs to its list of 2012 offerings. Health information technology, which will be offered at each of WITC’s four campuses, teaches the skills necessary to code records for reimbursement, research and statistics and gather health information for multiple purposes. “I think with HIT, there’s so much you can do with that credential,” says Lisa Ekman, assistant director, health information, Memorial Medical Center in Ashland. “With coding you’re a little more limited. But HIT you’re getting a well-rounded background. With experience you can take on a directorship role, and even with just a little experience you can take on a supervisory role.” Career paths for graduates of this associate degree include work as a health information technician, reimbursement coordinator, privacy and/or security officer, and data quality and integrity monitor. A medical coding specialist diploma will be embedded into the HIT program. This will allow students to earn a diploma after one year and enter the workforce while they continue the final year of the program to earn the associate degree. The program is also ideal for those currently working in medical and clinical offices who would like to advance in the field. Offered at all WITC campuses, the medical office specialist technical diploma combines medical office skills with computer skills to prepare graduates of the program for employment on the administrative side of health care working in physician’s offices, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes and other health organizations. “This program is a good option for people who are looking at the medical field, but want to work in an office or customer service capacity rather than in a lab,” says Leslie Bleskachek WITC academic dean,
E VERY LABRSG SHRU LE AVAILAB
business division. Graduates of this program can grow their technical diploma into the medical administrative specialist associate degree offered through WITC’s New Richmond and Rice Lake campuses. The medical office specialist technical diploma combines medical office skills with computer skills to prepare graduates for employment on the administrative side of health care working in physician’s offices, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes and other health organizations. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment related to this field is expected to increase by 11 percent through 2018. “We’re going to be seeing a big wave of retirements in all the professional areas in probably the next five years,” said Dan Adams, vice president, chief operating officer, Memorial Medical Center. “So there will be opportunities created that maybe will exceed what we’ve seen in the past. Plus the growth in health information technology has outpaced a lot of the other areas most recently as facilities have gone to electronic health records. And part of that has just been stimulated by development in the industry and part is mandated as part of health care reform. So having experts in managing patient information and supporting the transition from paper to digital management is real important for us.” Before programs are approved, colleges must meet criteria established by the state board to ensure strong market demand, high-quality curriculum and sufficient fiscal resources to deliver the programs. Advisory committees, consisting of business and industry representatives, advise on the establishment of new programs, evaluate ongoing curricula, inform the technical colleges on the latest industry skills and technology, and recommend when program changes need to be made. Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College serves the educational and career needs of more than 25,000 residents of Northwestern Wisconsin each year. With multiple campuses, WITC offers career-focused associate degree programs, technical diplomas, short-term certificates, customized training, and a wide array of courses for personal or career enrichment. WITC is a member of Wisconsin Technical College System. For more information, call 800-243WITC or visit witc.edu. — from WITC
Dewey Country
More rain this past week! But Sunday the sun was out and it looked so nice to be out. Come Sunday, we’ll find July is here and say goodbye to June 2012. How fast June went! A very happy anniversary to Justin and Kate Stariha as they celebrate their special day together with many more. A very happy birthday to Barb Rawling and also to Alyssa Quam on their special day, June 28. Have a great day. A very happy anniversary to Mike and Dawn Ternberg as they celebrate together on June 30. It is 11 already. Have a great day. Happy birthday to Kyle Vanderhoof on June 29 as he enjoys his special day with lots more to come. Happy birthday to Connor Vanderhoof as he enjoys his special day July 1. Connor turns 3 years old. Have a great day, Connor. Happy birthday to Becky Rawling on July 1, with lots more to come. July 2, a very happy birthday to Butch VanSelus as he enjoys his special day. Have a great one, Butch. July 2, a very happy birthday to Kristy Foust on her special day with lots more to come. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Chuck Melton, 60, who passed away recently. He was the nephew of Cecil and Evelyn Melton. They attended his funeral on Saturday at the Cornerstone Church in Spooner. Yah know with all the rain comin’, it’s hard to get the balance of hay up. That weatherman is all wet. He says it’s going to be nice so hay is cut and it rains. Time for a new weatherman? Congratulations to Dennis and Amanda Boys, former Dewey Country residents, who are the proud parents of a baby boy, Brycenn Keith, who arrived June 12, weighing in at 7 pound, 5 ounces, and measuring 20.25 inches long. Gosh with all the rain that Duluth and Superior got, it’s plain lucky we didn’t get it first. Yes, there are sinkholes and roads washed out, saying nothing of the water in basements making people flee from their homes. Tuesday, June 19, I had a perm at Silver Shears and of course, it was someone’s birthday. Yes, Mary Elliott turned the big 50 and walking in I found Happy Birthday to Mary, lots of signs like “You’re Over the Hill Now”, etc. Mary had off Thursday and Friday so she wasn’t going to be in so the girls celebrated early. Happy birthday, Mary, on June 22. Yah know sometimes a person gets irritated about something. Well one night last week, I woke to the howling of coyotes so I listened. Usually they’re west of my home and this sounded like it was in our yard. So Rory and I got up to see what was goin’ on. We looked out in the yard and didn’t see anything but continued to hear howling. Then we went to the entrance door and opened it. Of course, I was holding Rory and all he wanted was to get those coyotes. Well one bite and he’d have been history. They kept howling where our barn was and between the silos and finally I saw one. I didn’t know what to do as I hated to get son Richy out of bed, so I yelled and yelled and nothing moved. So I went, “pow, pow, pow” and then I heard them run into Duane Johnson’s field. I heard them again Saturday night, but they were west and it sounded like they were in the woods. That little Rory sure itched to get them though. I guess I can’t blame the coyotes as they’re just isn’t much of any food around and they’re hungry. See bears are making it into town also as they’re hungry and no food around. In Rice Lake, I saw in the paper that a bear was by the UPS Company. This last week I see bears in Shell Lake. One day last week, I was mowing lawn. I was out mowing where our barn used to stand as Richy had seeded it down. The first couple of rounds nothing happened and about the third time around a killdeer was there and came at me. I just moved over and thought nothing of it. Well after the fourth round, I began to take notice as the killdeer just wouldn’t move. It looked
JUNE 27, 2012 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 17
by Pauline Lawrence
like a bat the way it was lookin’ to take me on. Well, I steered around it. The next round, it meant business to me. It flattened right out and just sat there so I tried to scare it away, but it wouldn’t move and acted very angry and came at me. I didn’t see any nest there, just the mad killdeer. Well the next time I came around, the killdeer was gone. I don’t know why it was mad at me as I didn’t bother it. Strange birds. Dave Toll was up for the weekend. Saturday and Sunday he cut a bunch of hay at Jim’s. Gosh, don’t the corn look wonderful? Yes, it’s already knee high and such a beautiful green color. Let’s hope we get those timely rains to keep it growing. Spending the weekend with their mom and dad, Carl and Betty Meister, were the Mark Hansens. Sunday they enjoyed tubing on the Namekagon. Kevin Meister was enjoying spending time with his grandma, Betty. Marv Knoop tells us he’s feeling much better, which is great to hear, after cracking his ribs. Stay away from problems, Marv. Talking with Sandy Redding she says they’ve had a number of bears around their home. In talking with Sandy we found she opened the house door to problems. Yes, her honey Bernard was found to have pancreatic cancer. They are looking for second opinion. Please keep Sandy and Bernard in your special thoughts and prayers. Saturday, the Reddings went to the Robin Majors for Robyn Major’s graduation from college. All Robyn’s siblings were there, Tim and Kris Redding, Tanner and Chase, Jeff and Dee Redding, Andrea and Spencer, Robyn and Robin Major, Christopher and James, and Dawn and Bill Kane, Heather, Michael and Nate. All enjoyed lunch and family time. From here on I don’t like the weather. It gets so humid and so hot it about bakes a person. And after July Fourth, it’s already time to think of school starting again and the kids just got out. Saturday found Jerry and Gretchen Best at a wedding in Siren at the Covenant church where Abby Coyour and Ryan Johnson were wed. They were married at 6 p.m. with the reception and dance held at Coyland. The bride is the daughter of Doug and Laura Coyour and the groom is a relative of the Bests. We wish the newlyweds many happy years together. Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan were home for the weekend. Ashley and Chase, as ring bearer, were in the wedding of Abby Coyour and Ryan Johnson. Garry and Beth Crosby attended the reception and dance. Wednesday, June 20, Dan Denver and Tom and Sunshine, Isaac, Josie and Alecia Crosby were at Beth’s for dinner. At Sunday dinner at Garry and Beth’s were Shorty and Tyler and Tom and Sunshine and children. Also there were Glen and Lorraine Crosby and Gene and Donna Crosby. Buddy Quam spent Thursday, June 21, at Rick Lauterbach’s and Noah Lauterbach’s. Noah was playing T-ball. Also there were the Rich Feeney’s. Sunday, Janie and family were at the Warren Quam’s where Janie and her mom, Marie, were making a special supper for Ryan Lauterbach. Janie says they were making deep-fried BBQ chicken with all the trimmings. Ryan’s birthday was June 25 and he turned 12 years old. The strawberries are now done at Buddy’s Berries. Warren went to Amherst for Stephanie’s birthday at the Tim and Sue Pederson’s. Janie tells me they took in the Musky Festival on Saturday in Hayward. While there they ran into Megan Pederson and her boyfriend who was in a wedding. Noah spent the past weekend with his grandparents at the farm. Janie tells us they have too many bears at their house. A mother had three cubs and wouldn’t take the third cub. Well that little cub got up and looked in the Lauterbach’s windows. Janie says they live in bear country. Monday evening, Janie made a special supper for Ryan with his grandma, Jan Lauterbach, coming for supper. Saturday, Cecil and Evelyn Melton had family breakfast at a restaurant. Sunday
was family prayer service with Vicki’s family attending along with Peggy Vesta, Don Lane and Bridgett Hartl. Diane Hulleman and Izzy went to Nancy Murray’s on Friday. Early Saturday morning they left with Nancy Murray to go to Shannon and girls, Marlie and Gabby in Beloit. They went to Shannon’s company picnic and the three girls had a blast along with enjoying the food. Saturday they had a grill-out at Shannon’s and along the way did a little shopping. All stayed overnight and left about noon on Sunday. Chad and
Colleen Jensen were golfing and went to the Musky Festival in Hayward. Yah know if you’re very quiet, yah can ear the corn grow! Yes, I was told that corn grows 6 inches a day or night and the conditions have been great. Have a wonderful Fourth of July and please don’t drink and drive. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

Superior begins to add up flood costs
PAGE 18 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - JUNE 27, 2012
“We know from their updated reports, we’ve had a couple each day, that Duluth is much more severe,” he says. “They’ll probably be eligible for a presidential disaster (declaration) in Duluth. There’s specific criteria you have to hit to get that as well as the state, but we’ll be looking very closely as to what we can do to assist.” Walker was to visit Superior Tuesday morning, June 26. With close to 500 homes damaged in the region, Superior Mayor Bruce Hagen says that’ll be part of the flood tour. “We’re going to take him to several affected areas, might have him talk to some homeowners,” he says. “He was very interested and directed the conversation, ‘What about the
Wisconsin VA hospitals to hire more mental health workers
by Shamane Mills Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE – Two months ago the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced it would hire more mental health workers. States are now finding out how many positions they'll get in order to deal with a backlog of mental health cases. Wisconsin has three VA hospitals. They're in Tomah, Milwaukee and Madison. At the Madison location, they have 150 mental health clinicians and support staff to treat 40,000 veterans. VA spokesman Tim Donovan says the Madison VA hospital will get five new positions. “This won't be happening overnight; some of positions might be difficult to fill but recruiting is just getting under way and these positions will
be filled as soon as they can.” The five new positions include a neuropsychologist who can treat vets who have dementia and brain injuries. Traumatic brain injuries have been a signature wound from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Access and quality of care were issues addressed in a federal appeals court ruling last year. That ruling demanded the VA offer better mental health care for veterans. “There have been lots of new veterans coming into our system as the wars in Iraq ended and Afghanistan continues and members coming off active duty enter the rolls of America's veterans and may come to use mental health services.” In April, the Department of Veterans Affairs said it would hire 1,900 mental health workers nationwide.
by Steve Roisum Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Wisconsin continues to solidify its business relationships with China. State officials just returned from a trip that focused on the dairy industry. During a trade mission to China, representatives from Wisconsin and the Shanghai Dairy Group signed an agreement that says the company will look to Wisconsin first for dairy related technology and advice. Ben Brancel is the secretary for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection. He says the Shanghai Dairy Group is a major milk producer with 22 sites throughout
South China. Brancel says the Chinese government chose the company to be a center of education for those in the dairy field, “if, in fact, Shanghai Dairy is going to be the place where the future dairy industry of China comes to get information. And to observe technologies that are available, having our genetics walking the barns and having our equipment providing feed and milk equipment, for observation, means we could have some strong opportunities for marketing our products there.” The company is working with UW-Madison and the Chinese government to open a university-sponsored dairy research center in Shanghai.
WHY
Wisconsin looks to China as customer for dairy technology
homeowners?’” Democratic state Rep. Nick Milroy of South Range says state agencies and the governor are in contact from Madison. “So I think they’re on the ball,” he says. “It would have been nice to have the governor up here to see the extent of the damage because we really want the governor to declare this a state of emergency so that local municipalities can have the resources to make repairs in a timely fashion.” Other storm damage reports are just coming in. Superior Salvation Army’s food shelf was flooded, the food is rotten and it will be closed for a week. Washouts along the Apostle Island sea caves and trails have forced that area to close.

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio SUPERIOR - The first flood damage estimates are coming in from the 8 to 10 inches of rain that fell in Superior and Douglas County on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 19 and 20. Floodwater still covers some roads, and Superior can’t get a look at its sewer and water system, so these are only preliminary figures. City infrastructure damage is at $2 million. It’ll take $3.5 million to $5 million to repair damage to 14 buildings at UW-Superior. In Wisconsin Dells Friday, June 22, Gov. Scott Walker said he’s following the emergency.

A
doctor completed a tour of our gardens. As he was leaving, he stopped by my office to tell me how much he enjoyed his visit. And then he said to me, “You know, I don’t believe in God.” “Would you describe the God that you don’t believe in for me?” I asked. He did, and then I said, “I don’t believe in that God either.” I then said to him, “The God of the Scriptures is a good God. He will only do what is in our best interest because he loves us.” Our God is a great God. Nothing is too big for him to take care of and nothing is so small that it escapes his attention. He can do anything. Our God is also a gracious God. He loved us even when we did not love him. There is no one in the world that is more important to him than you or me, and there is nothing that we can do that will make him love us less. Visit us at: TheSower.com.

the scene of the accident. After time had passed, and the county towed the vehicle to the Washburn County impound lot for DNA evidence, the officer called for more information before proceeding.

McKenna Marko
McKenna Faye Marko was born May 21, 2005, to Megan Lindemann. “I was born in Rice Lake. I have a little brother named Ryder and a puppy named Zoey. I go to school at Shell Lake Elementary and I’m going to be in second grade. Last year in 2011 I became first princess and Miss Photogenic in the Miss Shell Lake pageant and also joined Girl Scouts! I also got Good Citizen in school in Ms. Roux’s first-grade class and I also won the award for reading over McKenna Faye Marko 100 books. “When I grow up I want to work and take care of animals, I also would like to be a horse trainer and someday own my own horse. But first I want to finish school and get a car. I want to be like my mom when I grow up and have kids and own my own house and get a puppy and maybe live on a farm or in the country.” McKenna does a lot of outdoor activities. “In my spare time I like to play with my brother, go camping and four-wheeling, go swimming and spend time with my family. I also like riding in the parades for Miss Shell Lake! “My favorite memory is when I was camping with my grandma and grandpa we heard coyotes in the woods. And then we all made noises just like them. Another memory was going camping with my friend Ella, mom and grandma, and we went in a huge mud hole and got all wet and muddy. Or when I was with my grandpa and we went to the race track and he got me covered in mud. Mommy wasn’t too happy. “I love being outside catching butterflies and picking rocks, or playing in the pool with my brother ... I love summer!”
landfills, “Anytime we pick up a refrigerator or freezer, we can recycle about 90 percent of the materials in those appliances and safely dispose of them so the toxins and materials don’t end up in a landfill or harming the environment.” Ifert says that since the program began in April, it is on track to meeting its target recycling goal, “We’ve had a lot of success so far. We’re aiming to recycle over 17,000 throughout the state this year.” Ifert says that all of the appliances are taken to the Focus on Energy recycling center in suburban Milwaukee. At the site, toxins like mercury are disposed of safely and metal parts are separated for later reuse. She also says the program will run at least until the end of the year.
