SHELL LAKE — The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus is in Shell Lake to perform at 5 and 7:30 p.m., Thursday, July 12. The one-ring, big-top circus is held on the high school grounds. Remember, if you want to see the school grounds transformed into a bustling circus city, bring your friends and family to the grounds between 9:30 and 10 a.m. Activity swirls around the grounds as animals are unloaded, the big top is erected, and rigging is prepared for performances later in the day. Performers bring the magic of the circus to life in each 90-minute show. The midway and box office will open at 4 p.m. There will be pony rides, a moon bounce and concessions available — with information from C&M Circus ••• WASHBURN COUNTY – There will be no county board meeting this month. The Washburn County Executive Committee met on Monday, July 9, and decided they did not have enough agenda items to hold their July meeting. The idea of the land acquisition for forestry and land rights is up for debate as Claudette Harrington speaks to the board almost every meeting the last several months. The idea is that the land will be used for timber sales whether it be private or not. Mike Peterson, forest administrator, explained that the purchase, which only includes a portion of Washburn County in the Town of Minong area, would not be able to be developed. While county board member Tom Ricci is recommending the county do a formal resolution stating they are against the purchase, and suggests that this is all part of President Obama’s Agenda 21, he believes it should go to the full county board. That will be discussed further at the next meeting to be held in August. More information on the land purchase to follow. – Jessica Beecroft ••• SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake High School Class of 1967 reunion will take place at Lakeview Hotel Bar & Grill on Saturday, July 14.

Northwoods Sports Complex faces Sept. 1 closing

Community members gathering to find a solution; county exploring options

by Jessica Beecroft SPOONER – The Northwoods Sports Complex at the west end of Main Street in Spooner is up for sale, but if no one comes forward to take over the 92,000-square-foot building which began life as the Spooner Civic Center in 1989 - it will be closing Sept. 1.

Both the city and county have been brainstorming for ideas for potential uses of the building.

Washburn County Economic Development Committee Chair Greg Krantz asked the county’s executive committee members to consider and explore the option of purchasing to see if it was of any benefit to the county. The committee agreed and decided to start getting more information to see if a

Written letters spur discussion and emotion

Clint Stariha steps down from police chief, other positions

by Abby Ingalls Register intern reporter SHELL LAKE – Monday night’s, July 9, city council meeting began with a letter, and ended with a letter.

The first was read aloud during the public comment section. Brad Pederson, council administrator, received the thoughtful letter and read it to the council.

“Dear Mr. Pederson, thank you for putting out two rafts this year. I am able to swim out to the little raft and I really like being able to jump off, but I can only get up there if somebody helps. I can’t get up on it, it’s too high. I was wondering if you could build a ladder and put it on the raft. Thank you, Abby Thompson, age 7, Shell Lake.”

This letter from a child spurred much discussion on what to do with the rafts as far as putting age limits on both rafts, placing a ladder on the designated kiddie raft, or bringing the smaller raft into shallower water.

There was originally a one-month trial

period for the larger raft and, according to police Chief Clint Stariha, it has been going well so far. He began discussing the option of putting a ladder on the smaller raft. “If you want to talk about putting a ladder on, we have a ladder for that raft, but the kids kept grabbing that ladder. The problem is when we put things like that out there, the kids begin to abuse it,” Stariha said. There was damage done to the previous ladder, so it was removed and brought back in.

Discussion was made about taking the raft into shallower water, but there was worry about children jumping off into too shallow of water and seriously injuring themselves.

“The problem is what age group are you going to put on what raft?” Stariha said. “It depends on swimming ability as much as it does age. People at 10 can swim very well but some people at 60 can’t swim very well.”

No official decision was made about the rafts and Mayor Sally Peterson referred it back to parks and recreation to be discussed at a later date. As for the one-month trial basis for the larger raft, it will be kept there for the remainder of the season.

“We can’t please everybody, but we’re doing the best we can,” Stariha said.

Second letter The second letter was read toward the end of the July 9 meeting. There were many emotions as the council read the resignation letter from chief of police and zoning Administrator Clint Stariha. The

to the city of Spooner, they will be changing out the garbage bins as they did previously in Shell Lake. New trash bins will be given to each resident starting in September and, by Oct. 1, the bills will start reflecting the savings. Allied Waste has taken note of how much garbage is thrown out by customers and will be giving out the appropriate sizes accordingly.

For the first month, they ask that cus-

tomers give the proposed changes a chance and encourage patrons to recycle more.

The citizens of Spooner will have the option of having their old trash cans picked up and tossed, or keeping for other use.

According to an Allied Waste sales representative, any extra trash that does not fit in the trash bins assigned will still be picked up at no extra charge. If a customer consistently has more trash than the can

Another public comment was made from Linda Ferris, who was a chairman and member of the Shell Lake Protection Advisory Committee for many years.

“There was a recommendation at the Shell Lake district meeting to close the gates at class B landings from ice-out in the spring to ice on in the fall. In our plan back in 2008, which was approved by the council at that time, nothing was ever said about the landings.” Ferris suggested having accommodations made for spearing, duck hunters and handicapped lake users.

“I realize, being a person who has been handicapped most of her life, and the people who like to duck hunt, and the Native Americans who want to spear, how many hoops we have to jump through. Please consider revisiting this resolution that was put forth at our annual lake association meeting and please protect Shell Lake.” This was discussed by the council but no motion was made or carried at the meeting.

letter, addressed to Mayor Sally Peterson and council Administrator Brad Pederson, read, “This is the most difficult letter I’ve had to write to this point in my life. I started working as a police officer in Shell Lake in September of 1977 and became chief of police in 1991. But as my son says, ‘Everything has an expiration date.’ My expiration date as chief of police, zoning administrator, lifeguard supervisor, and last but not least, wheat commissioner, will end as of October 31, 2012. It has been an honor and privilege to work for the city of Shell Lake. I would like to thank all the council members, city crew members, city hall staff, and all the policemen I have worked with. I will miss working with all of you, but one of the many great things of a small city is that I will get to see all of you from time to time. Brad and Sally, you are the best.

Thanks, Clint Stariha, chief of police.”

The motion to authorize posting of the chief of police position internally was carried, but as for the zoning administrator position, there was only some preliminary discussion in the council meeting.

The emotions within the council showed that he will be deeply missed.

Another Wisconsin-based job eliminated

Thanks so much for those who sent funds to help my 10-year-old daughter pay her citation, administered by the Department of Natural Resources, for selling illegal minnows. She and I both acknowledge our wrongdoing and accept the $343.50 penalty and will no

longer violate this law.

I do, however, sense more than just the DNR at work here, but also pressure from area sport shops to basically shut down a 10-year-old girl’s lemonade stand. If this is the case, shame on those involved.

Many citizens view the Food and Drug Administration as that federal agency that protects us from harmful drugs and medical devices. It would surprise them to find out that the agency probably causes more harm than good.

Did you know that the SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve which the FDA approved last November improves the one-year survival rate of heart patients from 50 percent to 70 percent? Guess what! This valve has been available in Europe since 2007. This is just one example of devices and drugs that on average are available two years earlier in Europe than in the U.S. The processes that the FDA uses to approve drugs and medical devices are archaic and have not been updated to fit the present time and current technology.

A huge bureaucratic, highly regulated organization like the FDA finds it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to make changes to improve efficiency.

Meanwhile, our device makers and pharmaceutical companies are moving many of their manufacturing and research and development operations

overseas where the regulations are much friendlier. When they do so, the jobs they provide leave the country. I find it amusing that Amy Klobuchar, Democratic senator from Minnesota, wants to appeal a part of ObamaCare, that part that puts a special tax on medical device makers. It seems she just realized that Medtronic, a Twin Cities based company that makes devices for cardiac cases, is an important company that employs many Minnesotans.

If Ms. Klobuchar was on the ball she would not have voted for ObamaCare in the first place. Maybe she, like Nancy Pelosi, wanted to pass it to see what was in it. Imagine when Obamacare is in full effect, the total of all medical services, not just the approval of medical devices and drugs, will be managed by a bureaucratic edifice many times the size of the FDA. Hello long wait times, few options and denial of service, goodbye quality care.

Now the Supreme Court has decided the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is constitutional, I wonder if the political discussion will let people know what is really in the legislation. It is interesting conservatives have railed against the mandate requiring everyone to purchase health insurance, since the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, was the originator of the plan.

The Affordable Care Act is much more moderate law than liberals would have liked. Most liberals would have been happier with a Medicare-for-all plan putting health insurance companies out of business. The state insurance exchanges in the Affordable Care Act are modeled after the plan Mitt Romney had in Massachusetts.

The state exchanges will retain the health insurance industry but require companies to offer basic plans with coverage spelled out in easy to understand language so people can comparison shop. Hardly a radical idea. Interestingly, Utah, a very Republican state, has had a health insurance exchange for several years and citizens seem happy with it.

A part of the Affordable Care Act that is not much talked about will change the way providers are paid to hold down costs without harming care. Currently, healthcare providers are paid for each procedure or test performed, whether or not the procedure or test has proven to be effective.

Conservatives have been leading the charge for accountability in education.

Why would they want Medicare and insurance to pay for procedures and tests that don’t help? As with education, the problem lies with who will decide which procedures and tests are effective enough to warrant payment. The pundits on Fox News would have you believe that “government bureaucrats” will be making those decisions. Actually, some major medical providers (Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente are two) have been working for a couple of years to determine which procedures and tests contribute to better health. It’s called evidence-based medicine. Perhaps if Medicare and insurance had paid only on that basis all along, costs would not have risen so rapidly over the past 20 years.

History puts the whole debate in perspective. Conservatives made the same pronouncements of socialism, communism, and going-to-hell-in-a handbasket when Democrats passed Social Security during Franklin Roosevelt’s term and

Medicare under Lyndon Johnson. I am reading a book about Franklin Roosevelt written by John Gunther in 1950, five years after Roosevelt’s death. I have been shocked to read of the hatred for President Roosevelt by those who disagreed with his policies, especially Social Security.

With the passage of time, Social Security has come to be so accepted and relied upon by the general public, even Republicans run for office vowing to protect and preserve it. Though I will not be around in 20 years, I suspect the Affordable Care Act will come to be seen in the same way. A program so valuable to citizens that no politician would run for office opposing it.

More harm than good

Horse pasture walk / arena and boarding facility tour

HAYWARD – Those interested in horse grazing and seeing a state-of-the art arena and boarding facility are invited to a horse pasture walk and tour in Washburn County near Hayward on Saturday, July 21, from 10 a.m. – noon. The event is free of charge and sponsored by the Northwest Wisconsin Graziers Network and the University of Wisconsin Extension.

The hosts are Sandy and Len Sheehan, Whispering Oaks Equine Center, located in Washburn County at N8430 CTH E, Hayward. From Spooner, take Hwy. 63 to Earl, turn right on CTH E and follow CTH E to fire number N8430 on right.

Watch for the signs.

The Sheehans board about 40 horses, some indoors and some outdoors on 43 acres of mixed pasture and woods. Extension agents from the University of Wisconsin and staff from the Northwest Graziers Network along with experienced graziers will share their knowledge on rotational grazing, paddock design, fencing, waterers, grass species and other topics.

For more information, call Otto or Kevin at Spooner UW-Extension, 800528-1914 / 715-635-3506, or Randy Gilbertson at Northwest Graziers, 715520-2112. – submitted

As her dad and technically the violator, party to a crime, I, however, question a law that was set up for big business and does not allow a workable option in my daughter’s case. Technically, the new law does not allow the sale of minnows without a fish health certificate. To acquire this certificate, each separate batch of minnows must be tested by a fish qualified veterinarian every 30 days for the VHS fish virus at a cost of $500 per test. Since minnow traps require to be emptied every 48 hours, in essence creating a new batch, the estimated cost for the three-month ice-fishing season would be $22,500. With her gross income over the three-month period being approximately $300, this would create a net loss of $22,200. Only our government makes deals like that.

The VHS virus threat has stirred up a lot of controversy over the last several years. One of the greatest complaints, being required to dump your minnows upon leaving the shore of a lake to prevent cross contamination to a nonconnected lake. I think few fishermen are willing to dump $9 per dozen minnows.

Wouldn’t a better solution be to put the burden on the DNR to have each and every body of water tested and deemed clear of the virus? The DNR has the resources and the expertise for such tests, which already take place on a few select bodies of water. The Yellow River being one of those bodies of water, and just by coincidence, the very body of water that my daughter’s minnows are trapped out of. Wouldn’t common sense suggest that since the Yellow River has tested negative for the VHS virus every year since the tests began, minnows removed from this body of water are clean of the virus?

I question why the results of this test can’t be accessed and shared with the public as should every test on every body of water deeming that body of water safe and legal to allow live fish extraction. Fish growers would still need their ponds tested since this would be a separate body of water, but the minnow harvesters would have an open door to harvest fish from all tested waters. This

would help drive down the elevated and manipulated price of minnows to a more reasonable rate like my daughter’s $3per-dozen rate and would put the fun back into fishing. The fact is that the DNR knows exactly where our minnows come from, and they are known to be clean. The greater danger is the questionable origin of bootleg minnows sold in sport shops, so, emphasis should be placed there and not on the easy target that they chose — an innocent 10-yearold girl.

Government agencies tend to make laws that sound good on paper but lack common sense, and as a result alienate the public toward, that agency. If the VHS virus, is so serious, all fishing and boating activity on a body of water testing positive should be banned. Also, all waterfowl would need to be exterminated to prevent cross contamination by flight. Another possible solution: Allow the virus to run its course. The survivors would be more genetically resistant to the virus producing eggs that would be more resistant producing hatchery fingerlings to be more resistant proving the DNR’s role in this — a lot to do about nothin’.

Trapping minnows in this same location has been a tradition in this family for 50 years. My mother actually found that hot spot in the 1960s. This citation puts a sad end to this tradition but served the DNR’s ultimate goal — to shut us down permanently — rather than working together to find a workable solution. For years I have used this small-business opportunity to instill pride and values in my children. This was robbed from them.

We in no way wish to diminish the authority of the Department of Natural Resources. Their job is to enforce the law as it is written. I do, however, feel that since they eliminated my daughter’s means to save up for her new computer, they owe her a new computer!

BARRON COUNTY — A Barron County Sheriff’s Department captain, who has been on paid administrative leave since late May pending an investigation into unspecific job-related charges, has announced his retirement. According to a statement released by the county corporation counsel’s office, Capt. Mark Evans will leave the department effective Aug. 31. He was placed on leave in a case that began with an internal investigation

by Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald and Chief Deputy Jason Leu. The case was later turned over to John Muench, corporation counsel. Up to the point when Evans decided to retire, the investigation had not produced any leads that county authorities thought could be followed up with any further legal action Muench said.

Firefighters name Sen. Jauch Legislator of the Year

MADISON — The Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin recently announced that it has named state Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, as their 2012 Legislator of the Year. The PFFW represents over 3,200 firefighters and EMT/paramedics in 57 communities across Wisconsin including those in every Milwaukee County community except the city of Milwaukee and West Milwaukee.

“During his 27 years in the state Legislature, firefighters and our families have had no better friend and supporter than Sen. Jauch,” said Mahlon Mitchell, state president of the PFFW. “And he has not just stood up for firefighters, but has been a tremendous fighter for all working people.”

The PFFW has been most impressed with Jauch’s long-standing commitment to the state’s Shared Revenue Program.

“This vital program has been the lifeblood of communities like Superior

and Ashland, and Sen. Jauch fought to maintain shared revenue funding and shield it from Gov. Walker’s budget ax,” the PFFW president stated. “These funds are especially needed in our cities to help make sure the city can provide important vital services like fire and police.”

The firefighters union also recognized Jauch for the major role he played in the 2011 Senate debate on the bill that took collective bargaining rights away from most public employees. “Though Sen. Jauch and Senate Democrats had little chance of defeating the Walker Bill, that did not deter Jauch in his efforts to try to find a compromise,” Mitchell said.

“We commend Sen. Jauch for his commitment in fighting for the rights of all workers, and for that reason, the PFFW is proud to name Sen. Bob Jauch as the 2012 PFFW Legislator of the Year,” Mitchell concluded. – submitted

Show choir, painting camps at the SLAC

SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Arts Center is excited to once again present its show choir and painting camps, running Sunday – Friday, July 15-20. During show choir, led by Paul Gulsvig, faculty will be teaching students how to develop greater musicianship, proper use of breath support, phrasing, interpretation, postures, stage presence and the other disciplines needed in a show choir. Students of all ability levels benefit from this exciting and motivational camp.

Painting and Drawing with Imagination participants focus on drawing using a variety of dry media such as charcoal, pastel and graphite. They will also experiment with different painting techniques using acrylic, watercolor and India ink. Students love this program because

they can express themselves through the beautiful medium of painting and drawing while learning from a master artist. This year’s instructor is Jeff Hile.

A free performance will be presented at the lakefront pavilion in Shell Lake on Thursday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m., featuring soloists and group pieces such as “Rolling in the Deep,” “Forget You” and “Anyway.” Students will perform their final concert on Friday, July 20, at 7 p.m., in the Darrell Aderman Auditorium.

Being prepared

s each of us begins our day, we may have an idea of what we need to do, what we plan to do, and perhaps, what we hope to do. There are times when implementing our plan, life takes a sudden turn in a direction we may not have been prepared for.

On the morning of Sunday, July 1, hubby Milt and I headed off to a campground near Frederic as he had been asked to provide special music and a short message for an open-air church service.

As we started singing the third verse of “America the Beautiful,” a middle-aged weekend camper in the front row passed out, falling forward. As we gathered around him, my first thoughts were he had fainted because of the heat or was perhaps going to have a seizure.

Even though last September I had taken a CPR class at Faith Lutheran Church in Spooner, facilitated by instructor Nancy Furchtenicht, I was paralyzed as to what to do when faced with this emergency. Fortunately, Milt and a couple of other people kept their calm and assessed what to do.

Not finding a pulse, Milt and a lady performed CPR on the person for about 15-20 minutes before the ambulance arrived. All I could do was pace and pray. Kind of leaves a person feeling hollow and hopeless in not being able to help.

After the EMTs arrived and used the automated external defibrillator, it really impacted me on the importance of having these devices readily available and also being trained in their use. In Nancy’s class, we were shown

that an AED isn’t an intimidating piece of equipment.

It is a computerized medical device that checks a person’s heart rhythm and determines when to deliver an electrical shock to the heart, allowing the return of a normal heart rhythm.

As the patient was loaded into the ambulance and left for the nearest medical facility, those of us that had gathered for a service that morning gathered instead for a solemn prayer time. At that point, we didn’t know what the outcome would be. Discussion then turned to what AEDs are.

Recently, Indianhead Community Health Care Inc. donated two AEDs to the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office after a member of ICHC became aware that not all county deputy vehicles are equipped with these lifesaving devices. Realizing officers at many times are the first on the scene of an emergency, an AED is an important piece of equipment to have. Perhaps you belong to an organization that is looking for a community project to participate in. I would like to put a plug in for the importance of AEDs. That Sunday evening, Milt made a phone call to find out about the person he had administered CPR to.

At that point, our prayers had been answered and the AED had done its job; the man was in stable condition at a Twin Cities hospital.

A week later we read on CaringBridge that Dick had a double bypass Friday, July 6, and is up walking around and doing well.

Wayfaring wanderer

’d like to consider myself an adventuresome girl. I left home at age 16 to live in New Zealand for a year away from my family and friends, traveled and tasted my way through Thailand and Italy and bungee jumped over a crystal blue river at 154 feet above the water and received two black eyes because of it.

I’ve ridden elephants, fed crocodiles, held orangutans and giant pythons, and had raccoons, squirrels and chipmunks for pets. I’ve eaten huhu grubs, squid fried rice, and raw kinas (sea urchins). I’ve skied down a volcano, hiked mountains, walked through rain forests, swam in eel infested rivers, ridden a boat in the Venice canals, seen glaciers and grizzly bears in Alaska, visited Juliet’s balcony in Verona, floated through caves and caverns to see glowworms and stalagmites.

I have done so many things, and yet there is so much more I want to do. But one thing is certain for me - whenever an adventure unfolds itself in front of me, I will take it.

During the school year, I live in the Twin Cities area, which, being originally from a small town, gives me many new opportunities to explore. There are so many nooks and crannies to discover, so many streets and buildings to see, new food to be tasted, quaint shops to be unveiled.

In April, my sister and I went out for her birthday. We ate juicy burgers at Billy’s Tavern on Grand Avenue and roamed the streets afterward to walk off the grease and chips. We stumbled upon a creamery

Academic news

which offered so many delicious ice-cream flavors.

After choosing watermelon sorbet and mocha chocolate chip ice cream, we ventured into Pier 1 to drool over delicate tea cups and pots that we hope to someday buy for a future home.

Our ice cream diminishing, we walked on as the sun sank low into the sky. The air became crisp and a family of all boys crossed the street. The youngest ran across at the last second and was scolded by the eldest, “Are you crazy? What were you thinking?” the boy said. The younger boy hung his head and sulked, “I’m sorry,” he mumbled.

We laughed and headed on our way. Soon we found a small used-book store. But the farther we walked in, the larger the store became. I took in the wooden scent. I ran my hands along the spines of books. The warped floorboards creaked and moaned underneath my steps. I found two books, new friends, and took them home with me.

With new treasures in store, we headed back home to a busy campus and homework waiting to be finished. But I learned mini adventures are always waiting to happen. You never know what might be hiding in your own community or backyard, and we need only to have a spirit of adventure and willingness to discover something we never knew existed. Be daring, be bold, be adventurous. Never be afraid to go off track and follow only the road ahead of you instead of a strictly preassigned schedule. You never know what you may find.

by Trudy Druschba and Diane Reynolds Blood drive coordinators SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake/Spooner Bloodmobile drive held Thursday, June 28, and Friday, June 29, went very well. The goal was 135 units and 118 were collected.

Bloodmobile counts on many individuals and organizations to help make it possible. The drive was held at the United Methodist Church in Shell Lake with Jan Witte and the city crew helping with setup.

Also assisting with the drive were IMC employees Trudy Druschba, Linda Nielsen, Linda King, Rodney Olson, Ed Morrison, Gwen Barthlomew and Jason Barthlomew. Canteen workers were Wanda Zeug, Sue Heilbom, Shirley Hile, Sandy Wenzler and Dixie Lokken.

The Shell Lake Lions donated canteen food.

Receiving pins for their donations were Sue Burch, Anita Hacker and Penny Anderson, 1 gallon; Brett Heino, 2 gallons; Alan Cusick, 6 gallons; and Judy Marek, 13 gallons. Double donors were Gary Campbell, William Powers, Sandra Breitenfeld, Dale Campeau, Larry Stelter, Sandra Wenzler, Don Dahlstrom, Audrey Cusick, Brook Dahlstrom, Kimberly Moravee, Alan Cusick, Wayne Bard, Tammy Holman, Phil Holman and Dennis Anderson.

First-time donors were Betsy Lambert, Caleb Wistad and Greta Pittman.

Hospitals and patients across the nation rely on the American Red Cross to meet their needs for blood transfusions. In turn, the American Red Cross relies on the generosity and dedication of its sponsors, volunteers and donors to support its lifesaving mission. Without you, they could not save lives. Giving blood usually takes about one hour from your day, and one unit can help save up to three lives. Please consider becoming a blood donor.

It really is a rewarding experience.

NEED WORK DONE? A crew of three workers from the Lane Tank Company works hundreds of feet off the ground as they sandblast and paint the Shell Lake water tower on CTH B. Working early morning and late at night, the crew beat the afternoon heat. The newly repainted water tower welcomes visitors passing by on Hwy. 63. At a cost of $90,415, the tower was sandblasted and repainted inside and out, some joints had to be welded. The new logo was a bargain at $1,500. The cost was covered by the water utilities. The older water tower on the west end of Shell Lake will be repainted next year.— Photo by Larry Samson

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - Sue Dodge is a registered nurse and after a stint in the emergency room, she knew that she prefers long-term caregiving. She’s found a home at Hearts of Gold in Shell Lake because their clients become long-term friends.

“That’s why I have a heart for Lozandier, Haiti,” she said. “It’s a fishing village of approximately 1,000 people located on the south side of Haiti right on the Caribbean Sea. I visited the country of Haiti four times with the Full Gospel-based medical team that’s worked in the length and breadth of Haiti during the past seven years, going where the need is greatest, but there is just something that appeals to me about establishing a long-term relationship with the Haitians by staying in one location.”

Fortunately, it was also a goal of a husband-and-wife team who also went to Haiti on the medical mission’s trip – Mark and Lisa Strenke from the Turtle Lake area. Soon their Ephesians 4:1 endeavor was launched in order to buy property and establish a school, church and clinic for the population of Lozandier, locally pronounced lowZAN-jay. One of this nonprofit’s goals will be to gather patient history from everyone who utilizes the new clinic.

“This way we can keep track of their progress,” says Dodge. “We are so grateful there will be a Spooner dentist; Dr. Christopher Carroll will be one of the medical mission’s team from Full Gospel. Now we can even record their dental information. We are extremely happy to welcome the Full Gospel team to help with our new facilities in February, and that’s why it’s so important to raise money for the building.”

Dodge said they will be going in September to enroll about 32 kids and give out their school uniforms and introduce them to two teachers and an aide.

“Next year we’ll probably have a dozen more children and it’s my personal goal to see these kids stay in school from their very first day to high school graduation,” she added. “This new building will not only serve as school, church and clinic, it will also be a safe building for a shelter during the hurricane season. We are so grateful to the Water for Life organization for putting in a well nearby so the people of Lozandier will always have clean water to drink.”

All of these children who will register this fall have sponsors who, for $30 a month, supply their uniform, a meal a day, their school supplies, and their medical care, as well as the teachers and cooks salaries. Sponsors will be needed next year for the additional children as well as for another teacher.

“The people in Lozandier are different from just about anyone else in Haiti,” Dodge observed. “They are not looking for a handout; they are looking for a hand up.

They already fish because they’re right on the water, and they also grow mangos, oranges, bananas, passion fruits, plus corn, squash, pumpkins and beans and beets, onions and peppers. Any seeds we take need to be heirloom ones so they can save the seeds from year to year, you can see

A long-term type of gal

How could anyone resist helping out these precious Haitian children with food, medical care, schooling and their future?

they’re people of ambition.”

The Ephesians 4:1 group, who base their organization on Paul’s words in the New Testament which read, “Therefore, I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called

by God,” are having an all-day Love for Lozandier blowout at the Shell Lake beach, Saturday, July 14, from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. From 11:30 a.m. until 12:30 it will be the 513FREE band onstage, who will also be in Haiti in September to give a concert and do some heavy lifting as the building begins, and then Kate Melton will take the spotlight from 1 to 1:30 p.m. followed by Sherry Sheehan from 1:45 to 2:30 p.m.

If you like choir music, the Faith Lutheran Praise Choir will be entertaining from 3 to 4 p.m. followed by Haylee Hershey from 4 to 5 p.m. If you’re a bluegrass fan, make sure you’re on the beach from 5 to at least 6:30 p.m., possibly longer, to hear the Weldon Hershey bluegrass group.

There will be brats and hot dogs for sale, donated by

Temps have been the talk of the town with the heat wave that carried right through the Fourth. The more normal temperatures around 80 degrees for a high seems good.

Deerflies and mosquitoes are very abundant in wooded areas and are driving deer into the open. Lots of them are on our roads, they think they have the right of way. Air conditioners have been working overtime.

Berries are ripening – raspberries, blueberries and blackcaps – and gardens and crops in our area are looking great. We have had some rain, off and on, unlike some places, so we are lucky.

A week ago Saturday, Janet, Marilyn, Renee, Brian and Jesika Zimmerman celebrated the Fourth together at Bill and Dorie Magnus’ home.

Renee Zimmerman and a friend went to Hastings, Minn., for the Warrior Dash Race, and finished in the top half. Congrats, gals.

Tom Hrouda and wife Stacy from Roseburg, Ore., spent several days here and were here for a family cookout that was held on Thursday night at Marilyn Zimmerman’s.

Janet Zimmerman attended a Minkel family reunion recently that was held at her cousins, Wendy and Danny Zinsmasters, in Cameron a week ago on Saturday.

Reports very nice, getting to see lots of cousins.

Sabrina and Cassie Skindzelewski and Casey Furchtenicht from out this way have been picking strawberries at Red Barn every forenoon, still.

Vivian Bergman went with Gene and Kathy Bergman to the Cities to watch their grandsons, Nick and Jake, play in their

Dahlstroms Lakeside Market, pulled pork, donated by Lakeview Bar and Grill, plus Cedar Crest ice cream donated by the company. Economart kicked in a $50 gift certificate and Kwik-Trip sprang for a $25 donation to help with supplies. Coke and water will be compliments of the Coca-Cola Co. The city of Shell Lake is even helping out making sure there are plenty of garbage cans and anything else the group needs.

If the food isn’t enough, there will be a silent auction of almost 40 items including items from My Favorite Things, the Polish Parlor and the Shell Lake Pharmacy. Don’t forget the quilt! It’s a riot of color, size king/queen, made by Peggy McKibben and titled “Haitian Sunburst,” and the winner will be announced at 6 p.m. at the beach.

“Every cent we raise will go to the building project in Lozandier,” says Dodge. “And all gifts are tax-deductible,” she adds. “The team, like the Full Gospel Medical Mission team, always pays their own way and we bring our bedding and sundries that will equip us to sleep in the tiny concrete building, on air mattresses, that’s being used as the school now. It’s five acres of promise and we want to help the village establish themselves as a trading center. I had suggested to Pastor Yves, the local contact for both outreach groups, that we buy fruit trees for the locals to plant. He encouraged us to suggest the plan and then let the locals take the initiative to buy the trees themselves, or dig them up from no man’s land and plant them themselves, which fits our goal of not being enablers, but encouragers.”

baseball tournaments. They report it was a hot one.

Last Wednesday, Viv took in the Tribute to the Big Bands by the jazz faculty at the Shell Lake Arts Center and says it was fabulous.

Vicki and Willie Lombard were with her family at her folks, Leonard Langs, Barronett, for a picnic on the Fourth of July.

Saturday, some of the Lombard family did their annual thing, tubing on the Namekagon. This year, besides Willie and Vicki, were Linda and Bill Hines of Superior, Sue Miller of Menomonie and Flo and her daughter, Emily, here from Alaska for two weeks.

They picked up their mom, Dort, from the Spooner Nursing Home for a cookout supper together in the evening.

Sue Krantz, being on the rodeo committee, and daughter Ericka and kids were busy here Thursday through Sunday. Ericka and Lainey rode horses and that was Sue riding Bob Housel’s big mule, named Jack, in the parade. Gregg was home making hay.

In looking back to the summer of 1942 when sugar was rationed during the war, they gave out stamps for an extra 3 pounds per week, per family, for canning.

Folks don’t appreciate how lucky we are today, when we have everything and still want more.

Nice to visit with Mary West, now home, after spending since last fall with daughter Linda in Cheyenne, Wyo. Linda took her to Omaha, Neb., to granddaughter, Cara’s.

So she came home first-class in Dan and Cara Whittney’s “Larry the Cable Guy” motor coach with them and children Reagan and Wyatt and that was really some-

thing for her.

Jody (West) and little son from Italy are here visiting. She went out to Wausau and visited sister Erin Swenson’s family and is spending time with family here a couple of weeks.

Jake and Julie West took in the big fireworks show at Dan and Cara’s on Long Lake on July 3, with a lot of folks there.

They went to Wisconsin Dells for three nights over the Fourth – perfect, cool, airconditioned and the kids enjoyed the water park.

A week ago, on the weekend, Rocky Furchtenicht and Elaine spent Saturday and Sunday around Bayfield, then up around the North Shore.

Lots of campers, boats and four-wheelers going by. The Backwoods campground was full. Reports are the Saturday night band was really good. Mavis Schlapper, her sister Joyce Wade and Adelle Koel took it in. They had a great fireworks show Saturday night as did the Getaway.

Last Friday through Sunday, Nancy’s sister and husband, Karen and Rob Taylor and daughter Lizzy from Reedsburg, their son, Christopher Taylor, wife Jenny and baby Madelyn from Shakopee, Minn., were at Russ and Nancy Furchtenichts.

Sunday they all enjoyed a family reunion and celebrated the 60th anniversary of Ron and Dorothy Woodward of Cumberland at Russ and Nancy’s. Dorothy is Ralph Van Meter’s sister. All five siblings of Ralph were there including Don and Jean Van Meter and their family, Guy and Becca Van Meter and kids Alex and Sara came from Missouri; Steve and Sue Van Meter from Springbrook and Carol and Bob Nesbit of Eau Claire. Nancy’s sisters, the Studt and Gustafson families were

also there. Then on Tuesday, Don, Jean, Guy and Alex came to tour the farm.

The Fourth of July, I went along with daughter Mary to Wealthy Marschall’s in Amery for their annual fireworks, food and fun. Got to see John’s great aunts again, one from Florida and one from Nebraska. There were around 30 there. John, Brady and Brian had been there earlier and were baling hay.

Daughter Cindy from Lake in the Hills, Ill., came on Friday and her son, Duane, from Menomonie drove up for the day.

There was a lot of activity at my house, as the other kids stopped down, so they were mowing, watering, trimming, cooking, visiting and eating.

Saturday, Cindy and I took in the pie social at the historical museum. It turned out very eventful. Cindy was a godsend, a great help.

Beautiful blue skies today, Fuernot Farms are harvesting the oat crop, putting it in the bunker for oatlage.

Happy birthday wishes this week to Dwight Smith on July 10; Willie Lombard, Ann Okonek and Joann Irvine on July 12; Pat Sweet, Tim Ullom, Brent Pederson, Scott Wade, Kenny Conners and Helen Fletcher on July 13; Beth Lawrence, Dexter Hubin and Carter Sundeen on July 14; Nell Lee, Kyle Schaeffer and Troy Strand on July 15; Scott Pfluger, Steven Lee, Janace Gagner and Morgan Krueger on July 16; Fritz Mancl, Tim Elliott, Tony Ullom and Francis Anderson on July 17; and Ken Zimmerman and Lillian Zahs on July 18.

Chet and June Peterson have been attending the Spooner Rodeo for 58 years, and in that time they have only missed two performances, Thursday and Friday night. She was in the hospital battling cancer and she was determined to make the Saturday night performance. The Spooner couple have been married for 61 years and their only regret was missing the first year of the rodeo.

When asked about next year, she said that her mother lived to be 90. That is a lot of rodeo to see.

Not to be outdone by the Spooner Police Department and their patrol on bicycle, Spooner fireman Perry Grap takes to the street on a bike. This might not be as practical after all.

Christine Cain and Savanna Simeth were watching Acaiden and the rodeo on a beautiful summer afternoon. It doesn’t get much better than this.

How cool is this, riding in a parade in a fire truck? It makes up for the times you’re worried about your father while he is fighting a fire. Proudly waving are Keyah and Riley Miller.

by Troy Benham What happened to relationship? Where did the 20th century go? Old-fashioned values and the ways of our grandparents.

Things sure have changed, the world is rearranged or perhaps it’s just the same.

A promise was made, and all vows have been kept, yet in bitter sorrow one party has wept.

In happiness, in tears, bitter sorrow and fear.

As a chimney from an old lamp, placed over the burning flame to protect from gusty wind, Did no vows or the promise the bride did rescind. Through much grief, turmoil, trials and troubles, To the joy that is found in the small ba-

bies cuddles.

The offerings of such, both give so much, to a holy union once filled with trust, in the blink of an eye is perceived filled with desire and lust for another. Untrue! The bride is faithful to you. But blind is he who does not see the purity of love she carries from above. Blind is he who may never see the devil snuck in right beneath him to destroy from within, what a man shan’t rescind, yes the devil snuck in.

Now in your home he roams, while she sits home alone, and to this your unknown.

For a moment lust, then desire, but the bride went no higher for fear of Apollo’s fire, and the wrath to come higher. For the bridegroom she sought, love, respect and thought, love’s embers still hot. Without fuel, it is not, a love that is, but once was.

Flames do go out, embers soon die, as the devil consumes and tempts all but I.

Nick Mangelsen visited Donna and Gerry Hines Monday. Marlene Swearingen was a Tuesday visitor there.

Lawrence and Nina Hines went to Richfield, Minn., Tuesday and stayed overnight with Sue and Colin Harrison. On Wednesday, they celebrated the Fourth of July there with a number of family members.

Jan and Hannah Schott stayed with Lida Nordquist Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

On Wednesday, they all took lunch to Gerry, Donna, Brian and Justin Hines at Gerry and Donna’s home to celebrate the holiday.

Karen Mangelsen, Nina Hines, Vickie Wiita, Lorri McQuade and Marlene Swearingen went out for lunch with Lida Nordquist Thursday to wish her a happy birthday.

Thursday visitors of Donna and Gerry Hines were Brenda Sweet and Nikki Gruber.

Lida Nordquist went to the home of Joleen and Richard Funk Friday and stayed overnight. On Saturday, several more family members came to the Funk home to help Lida celebrate her birthday.

Dick Quinton visited Hank and Karen Mangelsen Saturday morning. Other visitors there over the weekend were Dave and Patty Close and Hannah and Grace Mangelsen.

Visitors of Gerry and Donna Hines on Saturday and Sunday were Brian and Jane Hines and family. Those visiting on Sunday were Barry and Sue Hines and family, and Karen and Hank Mangelsen.

Nina and Lawrence Hines visited John and Diana Mangelsen Sunday evening.

Maynard and Ronda Mangelsen went to Big Stone, S.D., for the weekend for Ronda’s family reunion. They stayed with Ronda’s sister and brother-in-law, Diane and Jerry Stieb.

Wow, this was certainly a busy week, wasn’t it? With the Fourth of July falling on a Wednesday, it seemed like we had two Sundays and two Mondays. It was very confusing, at least to an old-timer like me.

Doug and Pat Sweet have had quite a few visitors the past few weeks. Gordon and Monica Sweet of Atlanta, Ga., stopped by to visit a few days while on their way home from Denver, Colo. They had been out there to visit Robert Sweet, who has been ill and had surgery recently. The family hopes he will be well soon. After Gordon and Monica left, Doug and Pat’s son-in-law Reese LeaVesseur, Ashley LeaVesseur, Rich Parker and two great-grandchildren, Mason and Jenessa, stopped in to visit from Billings, Mont.

They had been to Chippewa Falls for a niece’s graduation. Pat said that it was wonderful to see all of them.

Don and Virginia Hook, our snowbird cousins from Florida, were up visiting the week of the Fourth. On June 29, which is Pat Olson’s birthday by the way, I had Don and Virginia, Jerry and Penny Sundvall, Don,

Anitia, Gavin and Tru Lehmann and Pat over to celebrate her birthday. We ate supper, had birthday cake and talked way too much.

Penny decided that we should make this a tradition – supper at our house every year on Pat’s birthday. Sounds good to me.

My cousin Sue Meier and a friend, Diane, came up from Milwaukee to visit the last weekend of June. We had a really nice time.

Sue and I took Diane on a tour of our old stomping grounds. We showed her the farm where my family lived over by Campia and Grandpa and Grandma Hefty’s farm, where Sue spent her first seven years, over by Mikana. We visited with Jim and Summer Marsh at their cabin on Long Lake. We went antiquing. Shirley Overvig and Geri Pittman came over one morning for coffee. Oh dear, when Shirley and Geri were here, I conveniently forgot that Sue had brought some homemade turtles. They were fantastic.

Hmmm – I wonder if they’ll be upset that I didn’t share.

Jamie Holmen brought her adorable little twins, Kaitlynn and Jessica, over to visit one

day last week. They are growing so fast.

They will be 2 years old in September, you know. And smart as little whips, well mostly.

Poor little Kaitlynn decided she was going to push the plastic baby swing. Just as I was thinking that probably wasn’t a good thing for her to be doing, the thing bumped her in the head, she fell down and started crying.

(Remember, this is a light plastic, it was empty and it wasn’t going very fast.) Jamie went over, hugged her, kissed her head and told her she would be just fine. Jamie walked away, Kaitlynn pushed the swing again, it bonked her on the head, she fell on her little backside and, once again, started crying. If Jessica could have rolled her eyes, I think she would have. She was giving her the “I can’t believe you did it again” look.

Jim and Summer Marsh had a huge Fourth of July party at their cabin. The kids were having a great time swimming, floating on inner tubes and riding the wave runner.

Some of their guests cruised around the lake on the pontoon. The Rolling Oaks in Barron catered the party and the food was outstanding. There were some pretty competitive volleyball games going on. All-in-all, we had a wonderful day.

The Spooner rodeo was very exciting again this year. I was very happy to find out that Louie Herman was entered in the calfroping event on Thursday evening. When they announced Louie, everyone in our group cheered as loudly as possible. I hope he heard us. Louie is pretty new at the calfroping thing and he was one of the cowboys who ended up with no score, but it was very exciting to watch him and cheer him on anyway. I certainly hope he will be competing next year.

Wriggley Marsh, our little grandson, went to the rodeo with me on Friday evening. He loved it. He was fascinated by the animals and cowboys and cowgirls. He even clapped and cheered when everyone else did. He’ll be a year old July 16 and it was so much fun watching him take in all the sights and sounds of his first rodeo.

One of our nephews loves pie, any kind of pie, but especially rhubarb. Well, I made a rhubarb pie on Sunday morning, took it out of the oven and then Duane and I went over to visit Jim and Summer Marsh. When we got home, a large piece had been cut out of

the pie and there was a note that said, “Hi Aunt Jude, Love … (the nephew and his girlfriend)” Before I had a chance to call him and accuse him of pie thievery, Lynn Thon and Kandice Bonander came over to visit. We talked for a while and then Lynn confessed that the nephew and his girlfriend had not been at our house at all. She and Kandice had eaten the pie and planted the note to throw me off the track of the true culprits. A person just can’t leave an unattended pie anywhere in this neighborhood anymore.

Pastor Todd surprised Geri Pittman on Sunday morning by announcing that there would be a short, informal show of appreciation for all the work that she does for the church. Shirley Overvig presented Geri with a beautiful basket full of plants, which had been arranged by Peg Thompson. She told Geri how much we appreciate all that she does for the church. She is the organist, the president of the women’s group and the chairperson of the cleaning committee. She probably does a lot more than that behind the scenes too. Geri doesn’t seem to think that she does all that much and she was very touched by the gesture. (Trust me, she does all that much and we appreciate it.)

We are going to have an outdoor worship service at Barronett Lutheran on Sunday, July 22, at 9 a.m. We have folding chairs that we can use for the service, but if you have any lawn chairs that you would like to bring, they would probably be a lot more comfortable. Refreshments will be served after the service. Someone suggested that we have a build-your-own sundae bar and someone else suggested that we have donuts. Both suggestions sounded so good that we decided to have donuts and a sundae bar. Why not plan to join us that day. It will be a great way to get to know our congregation a little better. In case it rains on the 22nd, we will have the outdoor service on July 29.

Get-well wishes go out to Illa Theese, who was in the hospital last week. Illa is at home now, but will be taking it a little easy for a while.

Our sympathy goes out to the family of Brian Gallop, who passed away this past week.

That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you had a good Fourth.

See you next time.

JULY 11, 2012 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 17

by Diane Dryden SPOONER – This is her sixth, book that is.

“Writing was something that took me away from my circumstances when I wasn’t able to leave physically because I had a husband who had early-onset Alzheimer’s that began when he was in his 50s.”

Evelyn Safeblade was born in Massachusetts in a very tiny country town that was near the historic towns of Lexington and Concord. Even though it was during the 1940s and women seldom attended college, her mother wanted her daughter to attend college, as well as her sons, so she was able to attend Boston University, majoring in physical education.

“I graduated in 1948 and because World War II was recently over, jobs were plentiful so I found one teaching physical ed in Aurora, Ill., at the Aurora College,” she said.

It wasn’t long before she caught the eye of a Chicago lawyer that attended the same church and they were married.

Eventually the family had grown to four of their own children and two precious foster kids. She found time to go back to school for her master’s degree, this one in special education.

They moved to Hinsdale, a suburb southwest of Chicago, and there they lived happily with her substituting for the phy-ed teacher at the local school while her husband became a partner in his firm. Their children were growing and graduating, first from high school and then from college.

Then, in what seemed like a blink of an eye, everything changed.

Her husband, John, shared with her that he was starting to forget information that was paramount to a few cases. Trips to the doctors followed, but it was 1977 and Alzheimer’s didn’t have a name yet or specific symptoms. The doctors at Mayo said his brain was atrophying, but that’s all the help they could give. All a local doctor could say was that John needed to make lists every day.

It wasn’t until the most popular WWII pinup girl, Rita Hayworth, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1979, that there was finally a name for this degenerative disease. Hayworth’s public admission was powerful for several

This is her sixth

reasons. She was relatively young, she was well-known and she had been misdiagnosed for years. Hayworth died from Alzheimer’s in 1987 at age 68. She lived eight years after her diagnosis.

The Safeblades lived with this new lifestyle for two more years. When all the kids were safely launched, they put their house up for sale so they could move to their cabin on Loon Lake near Big Mackenzie. They were five miles outside of Spooner, and each day was full of challenges that got progressively harder for the next 10 years before he died. As Evelyn says, “It’s hard to deal with because it’s a constantly changing disease.”

She also found herself using her special-education knowledge to deal with the situation.

“John wasn’t able to pass the written part of the driver’s test, thank God, and he would occasionally still want to drive somewhere. I told him that we could get the rules-of-road book and study so he could pass the next time. We did get the book but, as I figured, he would study it occasionally but eventually he completely forgot about it. It was important for me not to hurt his feelings, but the disease is a lesson in constant adjustment. The woman who came from social services was one of the real heroes of this world. She was so kind and gentle to both of us. I will never forget her or how she touched my life when I needed it most.”

During this time, when Evelyn only left their home one day a week when the lady from social services would come, she began to write because it gave her something else to think about. She wrote the first through fourth books in longhand, moving to a computer for her fifth and sixth ones.

Her first book is titled “Summer Cottage” and you might say it had many similarities to her own life. The father was a lawyer and his daughter managed to convince him that she should stay in a cottage over the summer and work as a nurse’s aide. It’s not too long before she meets a New York man bent on becoming a farmer. Once the book was finished, she contacted publishers who gave her the same response they give everyone, “Sorry, this does not meet our publishing needs at this time.”

After meeting another local writer, she decided that she, too, would self-publish, going through White Birch Printing.

“Not only did they publish it for me, they proofed it and designed the cover. I’ve gone to them with all of my books and I still think they do a great job.”

After a new book is out, Evelyn usually takes a year off from writing. In due course, another story starts in her head and when she’s got enough ideas for a half a book, she starts to commit it to paper. She used to transpose her longhand to type, using her faithful typewriter.

She’d proof the typed copy and make changes and then more changes and finally she’d type the final copy for the printers.

Typewriters don’t last forever, even the workhorse Smith-Corona, so when hers died, her daughter convinced her to buy a computer using the selling point of the spell-check availability.

He was born Dec. 1, 1958, in St. Paul, Minn., the son of Douglas and Shirley Gallop. He moved to Grand Rapids in 1973 and it was there that he married Jackie Thorson on Sept. 27, 1986. Brian had worked as a conveyor man for 30 years on the Paul R. Tregurtha, the largest ship of the Great Lakes Fleet.

Brian was a dedicated family man who loved spending time with family and on projects around the house.

The care he took with his family was also seen as to

how he treated his friends. The needs of others always took priority over his. His love of the outdoors led him to enjoy fishing and hunting.

He is survived by his wife, Jackie; two daughters, Breanna and Dana; parents, Douglas and Shirley of Shell Lake; sister, Robyn (Rick) Perkins of Forest Lake, Minn.; brother, Brad (Renee Bymark) Gallop of Grand Rapids, Minn.; nieces and nephews, Ariel, Graham, Nick, Rayah and Tyler.

He attended the University of Minnesota to study anthropology. For two years, he lived in Japan, teaching English to Japanese students.

He made his home in San Francisco, Calif., where he worked in the import-export business until his retirement, when he moved to Sarona in 2005.

Henry was a published author. He was a member of the National Linguistics Society and was fluent in several languages.

He was an avid reader. He enjoyed the company of his cat, Smokey, and enjoyed spending time with his nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by two sisters, Julie (Ron) Swanson of Sarona and Leola (Bob) Hale of Vancouver, Wash.

Burial will be at a later date.

What a beautiful Monday morning. The sun is shining brightly, there is not much wind, and now with the rain showers, everything looks so nice with the flowers in full bloom. The days are getting shorter but it isn’t noticeable yet.

I hope you all had a good Fourth of July holiday. Some of the tenants sat out in front on the evening of July 3 and watched the fireworks and ate popcorn. It was a lovely evening. We enjoyed the local fireworks around the lake too.

Sonja Hartley of Bloomington, Minn., visited her girlfriends Sue Weathers and Sue Dodd last week and stopped to see me, Aunt Helen P. Sonja and Bob have two new grandchildren.

At 7:38 p.m., Jerald M. Mentzel, 46, Superior, hit a deer on Hwy. 63, at Hwy. 53 in Trego. The deer was still alive, but unjured, and was dispatched by the sheriff’s deputy.

The vehicle sustained minor damage and no injuries were reported.

At 9:15 p.m., Michael S. Andrew, 50, Schaumburg, Ill., was driving southbound on Bald Eagle Drive, one-tenth mile south of Chickadee Drive in Chicog, when he swerved to miss a deer on a curve in the roadway and went into the ditch, hitting trees, and causing the airbags to deploy. The horn was sounding, and the vehicle was reported to have very severe damage and was towed. Andrew was bleeding from the head, but managed to flag down a passerby for a ride home. Once home, they realized they needed help. Occupant Ronald J. Thibedeau, was brought to the Spooner emergency room by Krystal A. Fratz. Andrew admitted to having a drink or two prior to the crash, and although OWI charges will not be pursued, Andrew was believed to be too intoxicated to be left alone, and the sheriff’s deputy contacted Fratz to come sit with him. Andrew was issued a citation for speeding and driving too fast for conditions.

veryone seems to love Charlie Brown, the hero of the comic strip “Peanuts.” One day, he and Lucy were strolling along when she stopped and picked up a daisy and began to pluck the petals one by one, saying, “He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not.” Plucking the last petal she said, “He loves me! Charlie Brown, you love me!”

“Well,” he said, “I could have told you that.”

Sadly she asked, “But why didn’t you?”

We often neglect to tell those whom we love that we do indeed love them – that they are important to us, that we care for them deeply and that they mean as much to us as life itself. It is important that we speak and share our love with others. And if the love of God is in our hearts, then the love of God will be seen in our lives.

Is everyone cooked, with a week of this very hot weather? Yes, with temps up near 103 a person could get cooked. It was great to stay in the air-conditioning and Rory didn’t want to go outside. He just lay on the rug and wasn’t interested in going out. Not even for the mail, which he enjoys doing with me. But hey, it’s cooler now and a person can live with it.

It’s happy birthday to Kurt Sklucazek on his special day July 12. Have a wonderful day, Kurt.

Last Tuesday, July 3, found Jennie-O’s coming to get Richy’s big toms. Yes, they took both sheds so their aren’t any at this time in his shed. The haulers came with three semis hauling those great nutrients out on fields. Well, we had quite a surprise that same evening one of the semihaulers must not have been paying attention and he went into the ditch and overturned on Lakeview Church and H. It took three wreckers and another piece of equipment the wrecker guy had to get it out. The semi had rolled and was quite a mess. They came July 4 and finished cleaning out Richy’s sheds. Nobody was hurt and the police and St. Croix Fire Department responded.

Nate Petersen is home now. He was home for the Fourth of July and goes back July 14. It’s nice to see ya, Nate!

I saw on TV that Best Buy is going to lay off 2,400 employees now. They tell us it only means a couple of people from each Best Buy. Talking with Marv Knoop we find his son, Mark, and wife, Noel, and Bryan and Alecia are on a trip to Alaska.

They left July 3 and are to be home by the time this is published. Marv tells me he’s in charge and if Mark doesn’t come home he has Bob Paffel’s number. That’s what ya get when you’re the “big chief.”

My sister, Dot Gudlin, from New Berlin, says they haven’t had a drop of rain in 4-1/2 weeks and her lawn is brown. The farmers crops look terrible, she tells me, as they are so dry, and the corn is curling and there just isn’t any hay.

So far here, we have been having beautiful weather for the crops. The second-crop hay looks good, and the corn is very tall and is tasseling now. This heat is great for growing corn.

Over the Fourth, Jim Toll tells us he had company at his place. Tam Toll and her children were up and did a lot of grilling. Jim tells us he has gotten a summer cold and is

miserable. Friday evening found Jim and Dave Toll and Tammy Moe at the rodeo and Jim tells us it was great. He tells us the Spooner Trego Lion’s Club had a booth selling food.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Bryon Baker who passed away recently. Jeanette was cremated and laid to rest at the Lone Pine Cemetery.

Beth and Garry Crosby had their three sons and families over Saturday evening for supper. Coming to enjoy the feast were Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Ann, Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alycia and Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan who were home for the weekend. Robin and Jerry Denver (Beth’s brother) were over Sunday morning.

Sandy Atkinson tells us over the Fourth of July they had about 35 people at their home for a grill-out. Their four children, Pattie and Noel and sons, Lisa and Dan Otto, Marjorie and Charlie, Scott and Kristen Carls and kids were there and Jim Atkinson, plus Sandy’s sister, Nancy and her family.

Gretchen Best tells us her mom, Lillian Strege, stayed with them for the week. Today, she was going home. She sure chose the right week to stay over with the heat as she doesn’t have air conditioning.

Did everyone get to watch “Capital Fourth” on TV? Gosh, they had a wonderful program of singing.

Curt and Myrna Atkinson enjoyed the Shell Lake Historical Society, enjoying pie, which the society sold. Myrna took in two pies. Yummy!

I didn’t get to Bob and Marie Lawrence’s on July Fourth.

It would have been wonderful to see David and Cindy Lawrence but it was just too hot at temps near 103. So Rory and I stayed home in the cool house.

Diane Hulleman tells me she was at Ginny Schnell’s and Nancy Murray’s for their birthday this last week. She enjoyed supper at Ginny’s.

Craig Smith was up to his home in Dewey Country. He visited with a number of neighbors. He will be here until Wednesday.

Sandy Redding tells us Bernard and she went to Hayward to visit their son and family, Tim and Chris Tedding, Tanner and Chase. The Tim Reddings were at the campsite. Sandy also tells us Bernard will be going for his first chemo in Eau Claire at Mayo this coming Friday. Then as I understand it, Bernard will not be going back for more chemo for three weeks. Please keep Bernard and Sandy in your special thoughts and prayers.

The next Town of Dewey board meeting will be Friday, July 13, 8 p.m., at the Dewey Town Hall. Everyone welcome.

Butch and Loretta VanSelus took in the Spooner Rodeo making it 32 years that Loretta has attended the rodeo. The Fourth of July found Jameson Stone callin’ his grandma Loretta and getting her to come into town at his parents home, Matthew and Cory Stone. Loretta says she spent four hours there and enjoyed it.

Ya, how drought has been in many states, floods the same and very hot weather and fires, and they tell us on TV that this kind of hot weather, it’s onward to bad storms.

Let’s hope not. Scatter sunshine.

Have a great week.

Janice Organ

Janice Organ has that smile that brings a smile to others.

“I have many loves,” she noted. “I love God, I love my girls, ice cream, I love my friends, to clean and putz in the house, me, lending a hand, most music, my jobs, good food not cooked by me, ice cream, primitive furnishings/construction, yellow houses, gardens, ice cream and fun. What don’t I love, you ask?

Beets! Yeah. That’s about it!”

Organ says she’s been involved in many great organizations in our area which, she said, then enabled her to be crowned Citizen of the Year a few years ago. She said giving a hand and becoming involved in the community is what introduced her to so many people in the area.

“Some say I am a people person. I like people!

I make a great people watcher at any event. Just ask me.

“My birth order is the middle child of five children. ‘Monkey in the middle’ my mom used to say. Why? I have no idea. Yes, I read that

chapter. I have two older brothers and two younger sisters. Had an interesting and a very real childhood growing up, but all in all it was good. Grew up mostly in the Spooner area since we always came down on weekends from Superior where we were surrounded by a wonderfully large extended family. I have lived in Milwaukee, Superior and Spooner/Shell Lake, having graduated from Spooner in 1983 after enjoying my last three years of high school here and making this area my adult home.”

Organ is very proud of her two daughters.

“Kenna is a senior at UW-River Falls and Em is a freshman at UW-Stevens Point. I am excited about all of my girls’ dreams, heck, all of their classmates’ dreams. I’ve watched these children grow into absolutely astounding adults. What the future holds can only be gold for them!”

Organ enjoys music immensely and feels most people have assumed that due to her association with the Band Aids and supporting the school district’s band program. That, in turn, has given her the opportunity to join the community band, which has given her the courage to join her church choir, which then pushed her right into leading sing-alongs at Glenview.

“Next step? Who knows! A commercial jingle writer for an ice-cream shop?” she asked.

She says she doesn’t watch TV if she can help it.

“The news I need to see or hear I can get from newspapers or the Internet, I do enjoy football in the fall,” she said.”I have also been known to zone out to “International House Hunters” or home shows similar to that. I love houses! I don’t sit too long and TV requires sitting. Maybe someday ... but right now sitting is not attractive to me.

“Life is good. Life is in process. Life is what it is!”

Thank You

Lori Simpson, Lisa Andersen and Lana Swenson would like to thank everyone who attended the Celebration of Life for our dad, Jim Swenson at Trego Park on June 23. It was heartwarming to hear the stories and memories shared and to see how many lives our dad touched! We hope you enjoyed his celebration as much as we did.

Special thanks to those who helped, donated treats, cards and/ or gifts of money. They were all very much appreciated. We have been humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from family and friends during this difficult time.
