Have an interest in Wisconsin deer herd?
MADISON — Do you have an interest in the Wisconsin deer herd? If so, you may want to consider joining the upcoming Department of Natural Resources Operation Deer Watch, the citizen observation survey done in August and September. It’s fun to do. Your efforts will help the state’s scientists manage the deer herd. How do you do it? It’s super simple. All you do is watch and write – that’s about it. Really. You’ll be asked to keep track of the bucks, does and fawns you see during the day from Aug. 1 through Sept. 30. Next, you’ll record your observations on an online tally sheet the DNR researchers will provide. They will want you to provide the date you saw the deer, the deer management unit where you saw the deer and the type and number you saw. Everyone who logs observations on the tally form and provides an e-mail address will get the final report summariz-
ing your 2012 deer observations. The citizen observation survey isn’t new. It started in 2010. Since that inaugural year, the DNR has collected more than 7,000 citizen observations. Last summer, Operation Deer Watch generated more than 3,300 observations. A total of 4,004 deer were observed by 1,059 individual observers during August and September 2011. Want to learn more? Visit this DNR Web page for information, videos, previous years results at dnr.wi.gov/org/ land/wildlife/harvest/summerdeer. htm. You’ll also see the link for the survey, but it isn’t operating until Aug. 1. Have questions? You may contact these two DNR Bureau of Science Services researchers to learn more about how to get involved: Brian Dhuey, brian. dhuey@wisconsin.gov, 608-221-6342, or Jessica Rees, Jessica.Rees@wisconsin.gov, 608-221-6360. — from WDNR
Brule Hatchery will remain open
DNR assures lawmakers they’re committed to the hatchery
MADISON — Sen. Bob Jauch, DPoplar, and Reps. Nick Milroy, D-South Range, and Janet Bewley, D-Ashland, are pleased to announce that DNR officials have determined that the Brule Fish Hatchery shall remain in operation. The northern lawmakers said that DNR Executive Assistant Scott Gunderson told them that following a recent tour of the facility by the secretary that they had concluded that the facility should remain open. The lawmakers have been working with DNR staff to keep the Brule Hatchery open since an advisory group recommended its closure for financial reasons. They said that DNR officials have indicated that strong advocacy for the hatchery from local leaders and sportsmen groups helped convince the administration of the need to keep the facility open. “Since the earlier listening session in Brule, our northern neighbors have passionately shared the message of the importance of this hatchery to our economy and state fishery. Their willingness to
work with the department and provide support for the facility has been critical to keeping the hatchery open,” said Bewley. Milroy emphasized that the recent visit by the secretary and staff was a determining factor in the department’s decision. “Seeing the facility firsthand was the only way that they could gain a solid understanding of the unique history of the facility and the importance of the Brule Hatchery to our local and regional economy,” he said. “We are pleased by the decision because it recognizes the vital role this hatchery plays in sustaining the Wisconsin fishery,” said Jauch. “Wisconsin hatchery production is already at capacity, and eliminating the Brule facility will result in a downsizing of fish production that will lead to a degradation of Wisconsin fish populations.” The lawmakers pledged to work with the department and other legislators to strengthen the state fishery program. “Our citizens are ready to join hands with citizens across Wisconsin who are willing to make the necessary investments to support the $3 billion sport fishing industry and sustain a healthy fishery program long into the future,” they concluded. — from the offices of Sen. Jauch, Rep. Milroy and Rep. Bewley
Victim of ATV accident identified
MINONG - The name of a man who died in a single-vehicle ATV accident Saturday, July 14, has been released by the Department of Natural Resources. Matthew H. Young, 50, Minong, lost his life when the ATV he was operating on Smith Bridge Road south of Minong left the road and struck trees. He died at the scene, according to DNR Recreational Safety Warden Mark Little. Young apparently was traveling at a high rate of speed when he failed to negotiate a curve on the paved town road. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. Test results for alcohol and/or
drugs are pending. Law enforcement was notified at 3:55 a.m. of the accident, which was the fifth ATV-related fatality in Wisconsin thus far in 2012. A sixth ATV-related fatality occurred Sunday, July 22, in the Town of Amnicon. David M. Smith, 23, Superior, was driving an ATV on Lackson Road, about two miles south of Hwy. 2 when he met another vehicle traveling in the opposite direction and swerved off the road. He was thrown from the ATV and not wearing a helmet. - Gary King with information from DNR, Duluth News-Tribune
This coupled with a desire of some directors to micromanage the library, as clearly shown during the AC outage in July, leads me to feel that multiple meetings every month will be required to resolve a very difficult situation.” Soon after the special meeting was called, Krantz moved to go into closed session, seconded by Fox. Carlson then called for an open meeting waiving the closed meeting. She presented the board with her personal records, as she has been directed by city Administrator Brad Pederson to keep. The board spent 45 minutes comparing three years of time cards with her records and came away with very little in the way of discrepancy. Pres-
ident Dunbar had some concerns about vacation and sick days taken, but those concerns were not substantiated in the records. Hanson made a motion to move the time card issue to the library’s personnel committee for clarification and organization, the motion was seconded by Fox. After much discussion the motion passed. Carlson then addressed the board saying, “I would appreciate it that if you have a question to come to me and ask me.” Carlson had the support of many of the library employees and community members who had come to the meeting on their own time to speak up for her.

Minong Flowage Dam will be repaired
JULY 25, 2012 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3
Scheduled repairs may start as early as April 2013
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – The Minong Flowage Dam in Minong will not be coming down. The Washburn County Board of Supervisors has approved a plan, which will include four additional slide gates being added to the current dam structure, with two of the slide gates taking the place of the current powerhouse. The existing powerhouse will be removed. The estimated cost of the project is $1.12 million according to the feasibility study conducted by the Ayres Associates. The assessment concluded that the dam is a high-hazard dam. According to Wisconsin Administrative Code 333, high-hazard dams must be able to pass a 1,000-year flood without over-topping. Currently the Minong Flowage Dam does not meet these requirements. The Wisconsin DNR notified Washburn County that it must either increase the spillway or remove the dam in the next 10 years. Sixty percent of the dams in Wisconsin are owned a company or private individual, 9 percent by the state of Wisconsin, 17 percent by a municipality such as a
township or county government, and 14 percent by other ownership types. A dam is classified as a large dam if it has a structural height of over 6 feet and impounds 50 acre-feet or more, or has a structural height of 25 feet or more and impounds more than 15 acre-feet. There are approximately 1,160 large dams in Wisconsin. The hazard rating is not based on the physical attributes, quality or strength of the dam itself, but rather the potential for loss of life or property damage should the dam fail. A dam is assigned a rating of high hazard when its failure would put lives at risk. - with information from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources

Board approves wolf hunt quota, zones and rules
STEVENS POINT — The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board has approved the 2012 wolf hunt quota, zones and rules for Wisconsin’s fall 2012 wolf hunting and trapping season. The emergency rule was approved on a unanimous vote. The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board approved three amendments to the proposal at the Tuesday, July 17, meeting after listening to testimony from over 40 people: Any wolf caught in a trap will be humanely dispatched. There will be a zero-wolf quota on the StockbridgeMunsee tribal reservation. The department will gather all possible data before the board votes on a permanent rule, and the department will come back to the board in September with a time line for updating the wolf management plan. DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp praised DNR staff for their hard work on the proposal at the meeting. “I want to thank the DNR staff for the tremendous work they did in pulling together this proposal. We were operating with some pretty tight time lines. They rose to the challenges before them. This is just another example of the great work that our state’s wildlife professionals do on a daily basis on behalf of the citizens of Wisconsin,” said Stepp. “In addition, I want to thank the public for their input and help, which allowed us to find a good balance for Wisconsin’s first wolf hunting season.” The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board approved a quota of up to 201 wolves that could be harvested during the first season. The available quota and permits available to nontribal hunters and trappers will be determined after tribes make their declarations of the harvest quota for the Ceded Territory. The season will run Oct. 15 - Feb. 28, 2013.
Permit sales to open Aug. 1 All hunters will be eligible to receive a wolf harvest permit in a drawing during the first year. Unsuccessful hunters will be awarded a preference point. Permit applications may be purchased at any ALIS license vendor, online and by telephone. The permit application fee is $10. The license fee is $100 for residents; $500 for nonresidents. License: Wolf trapping and hunting license combined Fees: Application fee $10, license fee $100 resident and $500 nonresident Use of fees: License and application fees fund wolf depredation payments first and then other wolf management
costs License transfer: Allowed by application to DNR no later than 15 days before season Preference system: One-half random drawing; one-half by drawing based on preference Season dates: Oct. 15 to end of February Legal weapons: Firearms, bows, crossbows Shot size: Larger than BB allowed Dogs: May use up to six dogs in a pack to track or trail wolves beginning the day after November gun deer season Night hunting: Legal option beginning day after the November gun deer season Use of lights: Flashlights only at point of kill Cable restraints: Shall be allowed as a trapping method Baiting: Shall be allowed but regulated Calling: Allowed including electronic calls Trapping: Shall be allowed with specific regulations Reporting and registration of harvest: Required Zone season closures: Protocol provided for closing seasons based on wolf harvest through news release, Web site and telephone registration system. “It is very important if someone has any interest in hunting wolves, that they apply for a preference point this year,” said Kurt Thiede, division administrator of lands. The 2012 wolf hunting season proposal is a temporary framework, known as an emergency rule. Beginning next year, the department will begin work on a permanent rule. Information on the hunting season proposal can be found on the DNR Web site dnr.wi.gov search for keyword “wolf.” — from WDNR

What a waste?
Fifty million dollars is supposed to be a great waste when the taxpayers of Wisconsin had to pay $95 million for a recall vote on Gov. Scott Walker. By the way people, it was not well-known, but Walker beat Barrett by over 200,000 more votes the second time over the first-time vote. I will quote a small amount of Democrat waste from Sen. Tom Coburn, Washington, D.C. 1. Eighty-two federal programs to improve teacher quality. 2. Eighty programs to help disadvantaged people with transportation. 3. Eighty programs for economic development. 4. Forty-seven programs for job train-

ing and development. 5. Twenty separate programs to help the homeless. 6. Fifteen different agencies overseeing food safety laws. This is just a small sample of Democrat waste in the government. I forgot, Obama hired another 800 people for the IRS to take care of his health plan that won’t take effect until 2014. Oh, by the way, Nancy Pelosi’s office only cost us taxpayers $11,000 a month. And they, the Democrats, want to talk about waste? Bob Ostenson, just a taxpayer Spooner

“Dollar-A-Day Boys!” A musical tribute to the Civilian Conservation Corps to be held in Spooner
SPOONER — The Spooner Memorial Library, along with the Railroad Memories Museum, will be sponsoring Michigan-based author Bill Jamerson, who will be presenting a music and storytelling program about the Civilian Conservation Corps at the Railroad Memories Museum on Friday, Aug. 10, at 2 p.m. The program will be held outside of the museum in downtown Spooner, rain or shine. In case of inclement weather, the museum has tents standing by. Jamerson’s program includes stories about the CCC and performing original songs with his guitar. Some of the songs include “Franklin D.,” written by an appreciative CCC boy, “Chowtime,” a fun look at the camp food, “City Slicker,”
which tells of the mischief the boys find in the woods, and “Tree Plantin’,” “Fire Fightin’ Blues” that tell of the hardships of work out in the woods. The folk songs range from heartwarming ballads to foot-stomping jigs. Original, educational and above all entertaining, Jamerson has performed at CCC reunions around the country and at dozens of CCC-built national and state parks. A question-andanswer period and book signing will follow his presentation. Former CCCers and their families are encouraged to attend. The Civilian Conservation Corps was a federal works program created by President Franklin Roosevelt in the heart of The Great Depression. During its nineyear run from 1933-1942, 92,000 17- to 25-
NORFOLK, Va. — Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Reynold G. Runquist, a 1990 graduate of Spooner High School, Spooner, and fellow sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, CVN 65, formed a Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions committee. CSADD is a peer-to-peer mentoring program geared toward assisting sailors in making positive decisions in all areas of their lives. The program was originally created for those in ROTC, JROTC and similar programs. However, it quickly spread throughout the Navy and is now a resource for all sailors. The purpose of the program is peer mentorship. The goals of its members are to get a group of sailors who, through networking and discussion, can create ways to inform and inspire others to make better decisions, and to equip all hands with the tools they need to make those decisions. The coalition has different topics they want to focus on every month in an ef-
fort to raise awareness about these issues. Topics range from addressing problems such as sexual assault to everyday issues such as car buying. CSADD recently held its first meeting and plans to meet at least once per month throughout the rest of the ship’s deployment. Runquist joined the Navy in May 1990. — from Fleet Hometown News

• A farewell party was held at the shelter house by the hospital staff in honor of Hilda Tessmer who was leaving for Portland, Ore., to become the bride of Roy Bolton. The Boltons would make their home in Portland where Roy was employed. • A violent wind and rainstorm swept Shell Lake causing several thousands of dollars worth of damage. It was estimated that the wind was from 75 to 80 miles per hour. Hardest hit in the village was the Standard Oil warehouse and the Farmers Union building. • Under the headline Sinister summer cyclone shakes Shell Lake it read, “Humid harassed humanity gazed gaspingly while tempestuous tumult teamed up with thundering Thor to tear and twist their trees from the terra-firma. Roaring raging rivers of rain ripped resistlessly through thorofares. Lightning lashed lividly. Fear-ridden fishermen fought frantically for flotation. Roofs rose rapidly returning relentlessly. Power plants petered. Fortunately, Flottum’s forecast for future fluorescence failed to be fulfilled, and though for five futile hours civilization ceased to simmer, at 9:30 p.m. stranded service slipped snappily into supremacy. Rugged residents ruefully removed residue. It was quite a storm.” • Howard and Mary Nebel and Bailey Reinhart were fishing when the storm drove them to shore over in Jigg’s Bay. They pulled the boat and motor up on shore and left all their fishing gear in the boat, thinking that when the storm blew over, they would go out again. Meantime, they took refuge in the car from the rain. After things calmed down they went back to where the boat was suppose to be, but no boat! After looking things over, they discovered a trail of broken branches in the woods and finally found the boat resting upside down on a stump with the motor and anchor still attached and intact. As for the fishing tackle — that was scattered to the four winds, and Howard never did find his glass fly rod. The moral to this was, “Don’t ever trust a boat, even on dry land.”

The Sawyer County Judge, serving in Washburn County, gave McCush a talking to and a fine of $100. • The Indianhead Art Center presented an evening of double entertainment. The evening began with a water show at the Shell Lake municipal beach followed by a chorus and stage band production called “America in Bloom” at the Shell Lake High School.

emember the little saying, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”? Those of us that know Janice Organ, of the Shell Lake/Spooner community, know that Janice loves ice cream. Maybe you didn’t know this before, but after reading about Janice in the July 11 edition of the Register in the People You Should Know column, it was once again confirmed that ice cream is a favorite to Janice. As we leave July, which since 1984 has been National Ice Cream Month, I’m sure many of us will continue to enjoy the many flavors of ice cream. According to grandparents.com, the most popular ice cream is vanilla, and chocolate syrup is the most popular topping. Wisconsin is known as the Dairy State, but it is California that produces the most ice cream. The waffle cone got its start at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. Rocky Road ice cream was created in 1929 after the stock market crash. William Dreyer, the creator of the flavor, wanted to “give folks something to smile about in the midst of the Great Depression.” In my search about ice cream, I discovered

that to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Dairy Queen ice-cream cake, a 10.13-ton cake, using more than 20,000 pounds of ice cream, was constructed. Since Janice is also a substitute bus driver, it is interesting to note that a 10.13-ton ice-cream cake weighs about as much as the average school bus. Did you know that the most expensive ice-cream sundae costs $1,000? Since 2005, the Golden Opulence sundae, which includes an edible gold leaf, is sold at Serendipity 3 in New York City. If reading about ice cream has given you a craving for this frozen treat, you may want to check out the Washburn County Adult 4-H Leaders ice-cream booth at the Washburn County Fair. Kevin Johnson, who oversees the booth during the fair’s four-day run, has found sponsors and volunteers to work the scoops. Money raised is used for 4-H educational proposes, projects and trips. According to a survey, Sunday is the most popular day to eat ice cream. I think both Janice and I would agree any day is the right time to eat ice cream.

The Charlie Brown Adult Syndrome
have grown up watching “Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin,” Thanksgiving and Christmas. I loved the Peanuts, and would laugh at Sally’s obsession with Linus, or Snoopy and Woodstock’s adventures, and I could always relate with Frieda, because I too have “naturally curly hair.” Now, for those that are familiar with these characters and movies, you would know that none of the adults actually talk and for some reason, these kids can understand what they’re saying. There is one scene that I remember – Sally and Linus are sitting in the classroom and you can hear the teacher’s voice. “Wahhh wah wah wah,” the teacher says. “Did you hear that!? The teacher said my name! I think she really likes me!” Linus says. “Well of course she said your name. She’s taking roll call,” Sally says back. For those that don’t know, or even care to know, I have a boyfriend that I have been dating seriously for about two years now. He’s a wonderful guy and I am so lucky to have found him, but he has the Charlie Brown Adult Syndrome, or CBAS. It’s a serious condition where, especially while on the phone, I can’t understand a thing he says. My boyfriend is a mumbler. And CBAS gets twice as bad when he is really tired. We live about two hours apart and he has a full-time job, so the majority of our conversations have been spent over the phone this summer. “How was your day?” I said. “Wah wah wah,” he mumbled. “What!?” I turned up the volume on my phone, hoping it would help. “I said, wah wah wah,” he repeated. “WHAT!?” I questioned again. “Wah Wah Wah!” he repeats one more time. “Oh,” I pretended I knew what he said. For people who have to deal with those with CBAS, there are three go-to words that you say when you give up and you still didn’t understand what they said: “Oh,” “Yeah,” or a com-
bination, “Oh, Okay.” Sometimes when it sounds like he asked a question, I just say, “Sure,” hoping I didn’t answer a question like, “What did you do today?” or “Do you want to go golfing with me?” Sometimes I’ll ask him about something he just said and he tells me he just told me five seconds ago. “Oh, oops,” and I quick ask about something else. “I also just said that,” he says. I quick grab a Q-tip and swipe it in my ear to make sure I can hear as clear as possible because the highest volume setting is failing me. “Well it’s not my fault; I can’t understand what you’re saying.” So he checks his phone and blames it on its low quality. I roll my eyes, because now he’s in denial about CBAS. One of the worst was when we were about to hang up the phone and he said, “I love you,” but to me it sounded more like, “Wah woah wah,” so all I said back is, “Sure,” hoping to God I chose the correct go-to word. It turns out I didn’t. But I think he’s figuring out not only that he has CBAS, but how to use it against me, because a few weeks ago he asked if I want to start and join a fantasy football league. “Wah! Wah wah, wah wah wah wah,” translation: “Hey! We should start a fantasy football league with your whole family this year.” “Oh, okay. Sure,” I said. “Sweet! I’ll get it set up,” he said. “Wait, what? Get what set up!?” Now the endless topic of choice is statistics, strategy and players I should know. But two know how to play that game, I just say “What!?” so many times that he just forgets about it and moves on to something else. Besides, he has no clue that I have my roster carefully planned and my backups if they get drafted. The family champion trophy will be going to the Lambeau Leapers this year.

Area artists showcased at “Northern Fanfare”
Author to host presentation on the history of logging
SHELL LAKE — In celebration of 45 years of music and arts education, the Shell Lake Arts Center has collaborated with area artists to present an art exhibit. Titled “Northern Fanfare,” the show features the work of several regional artists in a variety of media, and focuses on the theme of arts and music in the northwoods. One of the mediums that several artists chose to include in their artwork was old musical instrument parts that the arts center offered to the artists for inspiration. Resulting works range from oil paintings to a Frenchhorn peacock to a trumpet fish to a sheet-music tent. Participating artists are from all over the state of Wisconsin. At the end of the arts center’s camp season, prizes will be awarded to artists in various categories, with one being a People’s Choice Award. Exhibit attendees can donate $1 to SLAC to vote on their favorite artwork. This also enters them in a drawing to win several pottery pieces on display in the lobby or a $100 gift certificate from Brickyard Pottery, seven miles south of Shell Lake.
Judy Anderson’s “French Banded Horn Hammer” is another unique piece of artwork that is a part of the “Northern Fanfare.”
very year we compile all the data from inspections and prepare a presentation. Some of the information represented includes the number of clean boats and total number of boats. In 2009, 4.0 percent of incoming boats required cleaning. That number has improved in recent years to only 3.3 percent in 2010 and 3.4 percent in 2011. In 2004, as the program was just getting started, over 12 percent of incoming
boats were recorded to require cleaning. The drastic improvement shows how the program encourages boaters to check over their boat on their own, and hopefully when launching at other lakes as well. The past two weeks have brought in 363 boats to the landing. We sold 87 daily permits and 38 annual permits.

around one’s own dock with sharp eyes will help LLPA’s effort to locate and control CLP and other invasives. At the ice-cream social, people can sign up for a Clean Boats Clean Waters boat-landing shift and hear about the experience firsthand from a CBCW volunteer monitor. Those brief, educational contacts with boaters could make the difference between a Eurasian water milfoil invasion in the watershed or not. Presently, Long Lake does not harbor EWM, and they want to keep it that way. The social also includes a toxic tackle exchange. Removing lead from water bodies both protects loons and makes fishing safer for kids. A loon can die from swallowing a single lead sinker, either ingested from lake bottom or from eating fish that have swallowed tackle. Lead tackle also can cause neurologic damage in children if they regularly bite down to secure sinker to line. LLPA will properly dispose of your lead tackle, so bring it with you. In trade, you can take home nontoxic jigs and weights or a LoonWatch poster of the iconic bird. — from LLPA

The kids backpack program is back
BIRCHWOOD — The Birchwood Area Food Pantry Inc., is happy to announce that their first year was successful, and they were able to help many children at the Birchwood Schools. “It was so gratifying to have the kids tell us that they finally had enough to eat over weekends, they weren’t hungry anymore and they knew they could count on us to give them the food they needed and was good for them, and it was stuff they liked and could prepare themselves,” commented a member at the food pantry. “We can all feel good about what we’ve accomplished; but there are still a lot of kids out there who need our help.” Hunger is slow to die and go away, we are still living in an area where three-quarters of the schoolchildren qualify for free or reduced cost lunches. Many of them still don’t have enough to eat and rely on their school for almost all of their daily food. When school is closed, so is their access to food. The Birchwood Area Food Pantry is working to change that, and with your help they will succeed. This year, they will provide food for every weekend in the school year plus the extra days kids are not in school such as national holidays, Christmas and spring breaks, etc., this equals 14 extra days. The program is available to any student in the Birchwood School District and is anonymous; all that is needed is a permission-to-participate form signed by parent or guardian, which can be obtained from Birchwood School. The pantry needs your help, and here is how you can lend a helping hand. Become a Backpack Pal; sponsor a child for a year. The cost is $21.25 per month or $191.25 for the year. Checks should be made payable and sent to The Birchwood Area Food Pantry and marked for the Backpack Program, P. O. Box 201, Birchwood, WI 54817. Payments can be made monthly or all at one time and are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Please reach down and say yes to these kids, our kids; let’s lift them up by giving them the help they deserve to be able to learn and become all they can be. No child should go hungry with the abundance that is around the community. Those tears of hunger can be turned into smiles of well-being; many times a pudding cup will do the trick. If you are unable to be a Backpack Pal but would still like to help, how about becoming a volunteer and help pack the food. Call Holly or Kristi at 715-354-3366 for more information. — from Birchwood Area Food Pantry

Camp openings at the Shell Lake Arts Center
SHELL LAKE – Aspiring young musicians and actors still have time to register for two incredible programs at the Shell Lake Arts Center: guitar and bass camp, taking place Sunday – Friday, July 29Aug. 3, and music theater, the first week taking place the week of July 29-Aug. 3 and second week during Aug. 5-10. Led by professional musicians Chris Olson, guitar; Billy Barnard, guitar; and Chris Bates, bass; the guitar and bass camp is a weeklong program that focuses on all styles of electric and acoustic guitar and bass. Students may choose a particular style to study in a small group, and the entire camp is treated to guest clinicians and faculty in guest performances and lessons. The Les Paul Foundation provided student scholarships for guitar and bass camp. Music theater camp features classes dealing with in-the-moment acting, vocal production, and jazz/musical theater dance techniques. Students work all week with experienced faculty, who are also seasoned professional artists, to create a one-of-a-kind, original musical production that they help to create. Participants often describe this program as life changing. For more information or to register for a camp, please call the center office at 715-468-2414, or visit their Web site at: shelllakeartscenter.org. Don’t miss the final dance intensive performance at 11 a.m., on Friday, July 27, or the acting and playwriting performance at 6 p.m., on Friday, July 27, in the Darrell Aderman Auditorium. The rock band camper jam will take place at the lakefront pavilion at 2 p.m. on Friday, July 27. — from SLAC

Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them
SPOONER — A ban on baiting and feeding white-tailed deer in Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties, which was implemented May 10 due to the discovery of chronic wasting disease in a wild white-tailed deer on private land in Washburn County, will be strictly enforced by Wisconsin conservation wardens. Both state and federal veterinary laboratories confirmed the finding. Later DNA testing confirmed that the deer is from the area. Barron, Burnett and Polk counties are within a 10-mile radius of the location of the Washburn County property on which this CWD-positive deer was found. State law requires that counties or portions of counties within a 10-mile radius of a game farm or free-ranging CWD-positive are included in the baiting and feeding prohibition. With the addition of these four counties, baiting and feeding of deer is banned in 32 Wisconsin counties. “We know hunters want to do what they can to assure health of the deer herd. These baiting and feeding regulations are aimed at just that and enforcing them will be a priority for wardens,” said the regional conservation warden, David Zebro. “We plan to work with the public for voluntary compliance with the ban, but are prepared to issue citations to people flaunting the ban.” No changes are planned for the 2012 deer hunting season rules in the affected counties other than the ban on baiting and feeding, said Tom Hauge, director of the DNR Bureau of Wildlife Management. Hunters will be asked to provide tis-

through something called God sightings. Each day concludes with a free lunch provided through the school lunch program. Kids at Sky will join an international missions effort to squash malaria in the African country of Mali, sending more than a million mosquito nets to protect Malian children. Sky is for kids from pre-K to sixth grade and will run from 9 a.m.- noon each day. For more information, call Jill at 715-468-4129 or e-mail skifastwi@ yahoo.com
sue samples from deer killed within a 10mile radius of the CWD-positive doe for further surveillance testing. Details of the sampling and testing program will be shared in subsequent news releases and on the DNR Web site dnr.wil.gov keyword CWD. “Baiting and feeding of deer unnecessarily increases the risk of spreading CWD and other diseases,” Hauge said. “Animal health is important to preserving our great hunting tradition and is a foundation of tourism and vital to local businesses.” Baiting and feeding increase risks of spreading communicable diseases, like CWD, by concentrating deer in one spot. Deer using one spot are more at risk for spreading a disease. Individuals can still feed birds and small mammals provided the feeding devices are at a sufficient height or design to prevent access by deer and the feeding device is within 50 yards of a human dwelling. This ban does not affect the use of bait for hunting bear or training bear dogs. “Wardens typically respond to violations of law based on citizen complaints. Our department is also planning to use aerial enforcement to assure the legal hunter is not disadvantaged by a person baiting deer,” said Zebro. The fine for illegal baiting ranges from $343.50-$745.50 depending on how much bait is illegally placed. The fine for feeding contrary to the ban is $343.50. Learn more about CWD at knowcwd.com (exit DNR) or go to the DNR Web site and search CWD. — from WDNR

Spooner Golf Club crowns 2012 invitational champion
SPOONER — The Spooner Golf Course hosted 136 golfers for its invitational. Players fought heat and humidity over the two-day event. Golfers from many parts of the Midwest teed it up on Saturday, July 14, for an 18-hole qualifying round. They were all trying to find their spot in the championship flight or one of the many other flights. Homegrown favorite UW-Wisconsin grad Ryan Schullo set the pace in qualifying with a round of 4 under par 67. Schullo won medalist honors for his score, edging out Blake Colby and former Norwestern High School golf coach Gary Swanson who had 69s. Sunday, July 15, the flights were all set up. The low 32 scorers were in championship and first flight. They played 27 holes medal play as Saturday’s scores were not used. Flights 2-14 played nine-hole matches. All the action started at 7:15 a.m. off both tees, and the day ended crowning a new champion. Colby, playing solid golf all weekend, shot a 27-hole score of 105 to become the 2012 Spooner Invitational champion. Colby’s victory capped a great day of golf at Spooner Golf Club. — from Spooner Golf Club Invitational results: Championship flight, 27-hole Medal Play Champion: Blake Colby, 105 Runners-up (Tie): Steve Koepke and Rick Ohman, 106 Fourth place: Ryan Schullo, 107 Fifth place: Zach Maanum, 110 Sixth place: Gary Swanson and Sam Eisenhuth, 111

A sea of pink
by Diane Dryden SPOONER – On Tuesday, July 17, there was a sea of women dressed in pink who descended on the Spooner Golf Course with only one purpose … to raise money for the local cancer hospice center in Spooner. These women have been gathering for eight years to play golf to benefit the Hope for a Cure, cancer fundraiser. Being smart women, they started their day with food and end it the same way. After paying their $25 entry fee, the women munched their way through a banquet table of scones, muffins and specialty breads along with their coffee and juice. The teams, 20 this year, then had time to look at the 25 baskets that would be raffled off after their 18-hole game. They also had a chance to participate in two 50/50 raffles along with the opportunity to buy a $5 laminated paper heart in someone’s name they wanted to honor or remember who fought their own battle with cancer. Co-chairs Linda Nichols and Terrie Storlie say that the event grows each year, with not only local golfers, but women from Superior, Hayward and Butternut. Last year, they raised over $2,000 by lunchtime, and this year it was more in the $2,600 range, which delighted everyone.

Barronett by Judy Pieper
Sunday was the perfect day for an outdoor service at Barronett Lutheran. At 9 a.m., the temperature was in the 70s, the sun was shining, and there was a little breeze. Pastor Todd’s sermon was interesting, inspiring and educational. After the service, we all gathered in the church basement for ice-cream sundaes, donuts and conversation. It was a wonderful way to start the week. Before the service, Donna Anderson and I were talking about our gardens, and I asked her if she wanted to come up and see how well ours was coming along. Luckily, she and Elmer had other things they had to do. I say luckily because I hadn’t been up there for a couple of days, and in that time the weeds had completely taken over. How do they do that? We work so hard to get the veggies to grow, and the weeds just sprout up on their own. Doesn’t seem fair, does it? There was a motorcycle poker run to benefit the Cumberland Fire Department that came through Barronett on Saturday afternoon. Holy cow, were there a lot of bikes in town! I talked to someone at the Barronett Bar, and he said that there were 190. There were six stops on the run, Barronett was the fifth stop, and the bikers ended up at County Line Tavern. Members of the Barronett Civic Club hosted a brat feed in the empty lot north of the bar. After it was all over, we saw that there was a perfect happy face burned into the highway by some very talented biker. I didn’t know that was a skill, but Don Albee was here and he said that it is almost impossible to make the perfect circle. Hmmm — Learn something new every day. I don’t think I told you about the beautiful ring-necked pheasant that was visiting our garden and Shirley Albee’s lawn. He had been around for a few months, and when we first saw him we were delighted to have such a beautiful bird visiting us. When Duane and I would sit in the lawn chairs, taking a break from weeding garden, the pheasant would walk around us in very wide circles, keeping his eye on us. We thought he was being friendly. So did Shirley Albee. Well, come to find out, he thought he owned both places and that we were trespassing. He started attacking whenever we turned our backs. It got so bad that I took off a shoe and hit him with it several times. He was a nuisance. He also attacked Shirley when she would go out to work in her flower beds. Shirley finally called her daughters and told them that she was tired of fearing for her life every time she went out of the house, and asked them to do something about it. The girls came up, the pheasant walked right up to them, they grabbed him, put him in the car, took him out by the game farm and let him loose. I imagine that’s where he escaped from in the first place. Anyway, it’s a lot more peace-
ful, but a lot less exciting without our resident pheasant around. Merl and Shirley Overvig treated Duane and me to supper at Bistro 63 on Friday evening. It was so nice to sit and visit with Merl and Shirley for a while. I had made a fresh blueberry pie with blueberries from our garden for dessert, so they knew they were invited back to the house after supper for that. Poor Merl. After supper, the waitress came and asked if we wanted any dessert, and went on to say that Jeno had made fresh peach cobbler. I could tell that Merl was struggling to resist because he felt obligated to eat the blueberry pie. He didn’t have any peach cobbler, but I hope he sneaked back the next night for some. When we got back from the Bistro, Rick and Robin Theese stopped by for a couple minutes. They couldn’t stay because Derek had come home for a visit and would only be there a day or two. Friday was Derek’s birthday, so Heather, Aarianna and Jon were at the Theese home to help him celebrate. I’m sure he had a great visit. He loves that little niece and nephew. Jim and Summer Marsh hosted a birthday party on Thursday evening for Wrigley’s first birthday. They had lots of food and lots of guests, and everyone had a fun time watching the birthday boy open his gifts. And we had fun watching him eat a decorated cupcake. There was purple frosting on the cupcake, but it didn’t seem like there was enough frosting on it to completely paint his face like he did. By the time he was finished, the only thing anyone could see were his little eyes peering out of his purple face. Luckily the party was held outside. He is adorable, and I’m glad he had such a nice birthday party. Did you go to the Barron County Fair? Richard Pieper, Delores Schultz, Duane and I went on Friday afternoon. We always have to check out the crafts building, the gardening building, and, of course, the chickens. I have finally decided that I am going to order Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks next spring. I wanted to do it this year, but we didn’t get a chicken coop built. Maybe there will be some little shed that I can just move up there for a coop before next spring. The fresh eggs will be wonderful, but one of the main reasons I want chickens is to keep the ticks down. From what I understand, they are very good at that. The Washburn County Fair starts this week. Duane might not be home for it, but I plan to go anyway. Our granddaughter, Savanna, is staying here this week to help me in the garden, so I’m sure she will be happy to go. Maybe we’ll see you up there. That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you have a wonderful week, and I’ll see you soon.

dumb, but nice boys that worked hard and enjoyed life. After Mrs. S. parked near the fairgrounds, they all scattered to see their favorite things, machinery and cows. Now, I had been to carnivals. They can be a lot of fun. A fair is so much more than that. I was amazed at the variety of wonderful things on display. The sewing projects, beautiful rugs and paintings, the bakery items, pies, cakes, breads, and preserves and relishes, sweet and dill pickles, all packed so beautifully in jars. There were flowers and garden vegetables, and corn in the stalk, huge ears. The displays nearly took my breath away. It dawned on me that these were produced right here in our county. Some were probably from gardens in town, but most of the products came from local farms. So it was that my first visit to a fair gave me a kind of community pride that included country people and townspeople, something I had not felt before. I did not attend any more fairs for a long time. Later, my mother won ribbons with her canning, baking and sewing, even entering in the state fair, and I knew many people who enjoyed taking part in fairs. Several years later, I married, and I was living in the country on a farm in Virginia. The daughter of the farm family and I and some friends visited their fair. That was when my memories of fairs kicked in. I was mentally comparing the products of their farms with those back in Illinois. I thought their corn pitiful. And, who in their right mind would put a concoction like succotash in a jar, and then exhibit it at the fair? My fair was better than their fair. That is what happens, I suppose, when you develop pride in your home area early in your life. Quite a few things were about the same, and not too bad. But, of course, my fair was better than their fair. One thing they had I liked was a cake walk. They had a circular area, where you would walk around it as music played. When it stropped you might be on a place where you could win a cake. They didn’t have many dairy cows there. Their flowers were rather exotic, compared to ours, I had to admit. And we didn’t grow peanuts in Illinois. I understood more fully the value of fairs. Fairs give you community pride.
SHOCKS & STRUTS

by Mary B. Olsen In the old days, while I was growing up in a small town, the prevailing attitude of our high school was that townspeople are superior to farm people. Farmers smelled bad and they were dumb. Boys teased the farm boys, and girls pretty much ignored the farm girls. It was something that really didn’t concern me. That was before I worked one summer for a very nice farm lady. She had a family of growing boys. They would be baling hay at nearby farms with their father all summer. My job was to help her with her work. I had my own room. I was to be paid at the end of the summer, 50 cents for each day. Mrs. S. would call me to get up early, probably at dawn, and we would prepare breakfast and eat, and then the boys would be off, except one who would do the milking and work at the farm. I would help with the dishes, cleanup and housekeeping, gather the eggs, wash and pack the eggs in crates, and then help with things like washing clothes, hanging them out on the clothesline and ironing. Sometimes we went to the high school where there was a canning facility. We would bring in bushels of peaches, apricots, pears or tomatoes, and leave in the afternoon with everything canned. Women from town were there canning, too. One day everybody at the farm was overly excited. We were going to take the day off. We were going to the fair. Mr. S. was going to meet us later at the fair. Usually I wore blue jeans, rolled up to the knee, around the farm, but for the fair I had to wear a dress, and the boys were all spruced up nicely. We piled into their car with Mrs. S. in the driver’s seat, me next to her, one boy by the window, and three boys in the backseat. Away we went. All the way the boys laughed and joked about Allis and John. Since they were in the business of baling hay, and they had a John Deere baler that baled in square or oblong bales, and AllisChalmers had round bales, they could argue and kid each other like that for hours. I usually kept quiet, but sometimes I had to laugh, too. They were not

JULY 25, 2012 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 17
by Pauline Lawrence
Wasn’t that a wonderful rain we had this past week? Yes, we got 1-1/4 inches here at our farm in Dewey Country. And those soybeans and hay grew. How about that corn? It looked like it had grown a foot with the tassels on, and they got a tall drink of water. Happy birthday to Carl Soelle on his special day, July 26. Have a wonderful day, Carl. A very happy anniversary to Barb and Tom Benjamin as they enjoy their special day together on July 26. Have a wonderful day. July 27, a very happy birthday to Duane LaVeau as he enjoys his special day with lots more to come. A very happy birthday to Ellianna Rose Lautherbach on July 28 when she turns 2 years old. Have a happy day, Ellianna. Happy birthday on July 28 to Mike Roberts, Steve Friendt Sr. and to Logan Hile. All have a great day. July 29, a very happy birthday to Sydney Anderson as she enjoys that special day with many more to come. Happy birthday to Emily Pfluger on July 30 with lots more to come. A very happy anniversary to Tim and Sue Pederson on July 30 when they celebrate 29 years together as man and wife with lots more to come. July 31, a very happy birthday to Jim Quam on his birthday. Jim is a special nephew of mine. Hope you can take a day off Jim and go out for supper or fishing. A very happy anniversary to Nicole and Justin Hoffman as they celebrate together with lots more to come. A very happy anniversary to Jerry and Donna Melin on Aug. 1 when they celebrate together. Have a great one. Happy birthday to Emma Stellrecht and to Sue Ellen LaVeau on Aug. 1. Many more to you. I have a name to correct this week. MaKenna is MaKenna and wasn’t McKenna like it was typed. This past week I had a good laugh at Rory. I hadn’t taken him out for walks as it was so hot. Well, Penny’s two little girls, Rylee and Reyana, were here a week ago and spent the night. This past
week, Rory was barking at the two bedroom doors, so I asked him if there was someone in there. He dug at the doors, so I opened them and he went in. He was smelling and smelling both rooms on the rug, getting the scent of the two little girls. Finally, I figured out what he wanted. He wanted my two grandchildren to play with and that’s why he was sniffing and sniffing. I know he gets bored in the house most of the day. but to me this was unbelievable. Diane Hulleman tells us she was babysitting this past weekend. Yes, the Chad Jensens brought Izzy up, and they left for a canoe ride at the Brule. They were to come back Sunday. Coming to her mom’s on Saturday were Jackie Perlt and Mattie. Also Nancy and her grandson, Jameson, came out to Diane’s. Sunday, Ginny also came out to her mom’s. Thursday, Diane was at the Country Lane Pantry. Diane’s grandson, Chris Perlt, and his bride-to-be will be married Oct. 13. Chris took up welding at tech school, and Diane says he is doing wonderful. She says he works for Michael’s Co. Last Thursday, Bernard Redding took his first chemo treatment. His daughter, Robyn Major, came and took the two of them to Eau Claire. Sandy had her doctor’s appointment the same day. Bernard will go once a week for treatments. The cost of these chemo treatments is humongous! Sandy also tells us they had about a 400-pound bear go through their yard on Sunday. It took off after a deer and scared it. Saturday found Gretchen Best going to a cousin’s daughter’s home in New Richmond for a wedding shower. She will be getting married in September. Sunday found Jerry and Gretchen Best in Cumberland at the park. Chris and Judy Stege and son Cameron visited them for a picnic. Gretch says it’s nice to keep up with the relatives. Are farmers checking their alfalfa crop? Well I’ve been told that there is a bug in the alfalfa, and some farmers have sprayed. Whether it’s a bug or worm, it’s yuck! My raspberries are done for another year. I tell yah, I fell four times, but don’t
tell my kids, while I was trying to pick berries. Yes, someone threw a bunch of tires in my raspberry patch and I fell four times. The last time I fell, Rich came and gave me a lift. My knees are shot and I can’t bend down on them. I tell yah, it was funny! When I fell, I told myself I had to get up, but then Richy came to the shed with his truck, and I yelled and he came. His words, “What in the —— are yah doin’ there? Don’t cha know better than not to pick those berries?” He also said if I went back to pickin’ berries, he would put me in an old people’s home. Well, I told him to have fun paying for me to go in the home! Ah, yes, we both have to laugh. Loretta VanSelus tells us this Sunday they had the dedication of their new church, the Faith Community Church of Nazarene in Danbury. Loretta says the dedication was wonderful and the people donated money and labor, and the church doesn’t have any debt. Don’t you wish all churches could be debt free? Our deepest sympathy to the family of Steven Axelson who was 56 years old and died from cancer. His father and mother-in-law Mert and Peg Zillmer, were at the funeral.
Heat and humidity is the talk of the town. When I called the Greg Krantzes, he had just finished talking to his sister, Vicki, and it was 110 degrees in Henderson, Nev., at the time. So, it isn’t so bad here. Seems everything is ahead of schedule this year, including the wild prairie flowers blooming now including the button flowers, tansies, coneflowers, jewelweed, wild bergamot, blue vervain and milkweed. My young wild geese have grown so big I can’t tell the young-uns from their parents. There are quite a lot of them, eight young in one and five in the other. With their folks, there are still 17 alive. When they’re together on the lawn, it is quite a flock. Gardens are starting to produce broccoli, cukes, green beans and zucchinis. Thanks to Elaine Ryan, she keeps me supplied. Jack and Judy Stodola, Onalaska, was up for the weekend at his mom’s, Virginia Stodola’s. Judy is staying up for the week. Pete Frey and kids, Ben and Emma, ad all the Frey family, also grandpa Ken Harmon of Spooner and Seth and Jacki Reynolds and little Jordan from Rice Lake, over for a fish fry Friday night. Vivian Bergman attended the Barron County Fair in Rice Lake with brother Gene and Kathy. Then on Saturday, she went to Rice Lake to celebrate their son, Scott’s, and grandson Jacob’s birthdays. Paul Armour of Florida and his son, Sam, St. Paul, Minn., visited at Viv Bergman’s. While they were here, Viv’s brother, Dennis and Gene and Kathy
rode their Harleys up to see them. Viv Bergman’s grand-nephew, Ben, made the Wisconsin state baseball team and will now get to go to Kentucky for the playoff with other state teams. He is the son of Brian and Laura Bergman. Congrats to him. Saturday, Sue Krantz’s granddaughter, Lainy Hutton, was out to work on baking and decorating stuff for the upcoming fair. Sunday, Ericka’s friend, Lance, was up and he did the cooking for a family cookout at Greg and Sue Krantz’s. The Loews spent every day at the Barron County Fair in Rice Lake. Al had his Amsoil booth and Jolene helped her daughter, Sue, in her Norwex, miracle cloth cleaning booth. Last Saturday, Al and Jolene Loew attended his cousin’s wife’s funeral in Fergus Falls, Minn. She had died of asbestos disease. The Sarona Day picnic turned out great according to reports. There was lots of good food and fellowship. Thanks to organizer Kelly Stoner. Get-well wishes to Gene Romsos and keep Ed Zaloudek in your prayers. My granddaughter, Sara Marschall’s, cousin Jessie and aunt Nancy Furchtenicht, held a bridal shower brunch Saturday morning for her at my house. They served food, Nancy’s egg bake, Elaine Ryan’s fresh caramel rolls and had some games. The bride-to-be was bubbling over and received such lovely things. People are so generous. Charlotte Thompson and granddaughter Allison Zezlorski from Savage, Minn., came on Saturday afternoon. That was so nice. Sara got to meet her third cousin. Janet Zimmerman attended Barron
County Fair with her cousin Darlene McGiffin and Sunday evening to the girls fast-pitch game in Rice Lake with Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman to watch their nieces. On Monday, Elfreda West and I visited at Avis Thorp’s, Stone Lake, when my sister Sharon Wilber was there. We ate and ate, had coffee and brunch, then lunch. Pete and Betty Hubin visited my house one day, bringing a shower gift. Howard and Jean Furchtenicht came down on Friday evening and we went up to the farm and watched the milking.

O
ne morning a mother was running late for an appointment. Wanting to look her best, she asked her son to polish her shoes. He did such a good job that she wanted to reward him. So, she gave him a dollar. As she was putting on one of the shoes, she felt something strange. She reached into the shoe and discovered her dollar bill. With it was a note that read, “Here’s your dollar back, Mom. I did it for love.” Love has ears to hear the sigh of the sorrowing. It has eyes to see the needs of those who are suffering. It has feet that run to others to show mercy. It has hands that extend themselves to help others heal. It has a heart that can feel the pain that others are enduring. Love always forgets self to serve others. If we are not serving others, we do not love. God’s word tells us to “love in deed, not words alone.” May we each show more of his love every day.
