August primary a Republican event
Washburn County clerk, U.S. Senate only contests
by Gregg Westigard Special to the Register
WASHBURN COUNTY – The Tuesday, Aug. 14, primary election will have only two contested races on the ballot. Both are Republican Party nominations. Voters statewide will be selecting the Republican Party nominee for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Sen. Herb Kohl, who is retiring. And Washburn County voters will select the Republican candidate for Washburn County clerk to replace the retiring Lynn Hoeppner. Lolita Olson and David Kidder are the Republican county clerk candidates. The winner of the primary will face Democrat Jacque Avery in November.
Four candidates are seeking the Senate nomination, Jeff Fitzgerald, Eric Hovde, Mark Neumann and Tommy Thompson. Fitzgerald is the current speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, Hovde is a businessperson making his first run for a political office, Neumann is a former congressman and prior Senate candidate, and Thompson is a former Wisconsin governor. All four are waging active campaigns. The winner of the Republican primary will face the Democratic candidate, Tammy Baldwin, in November. Baldwin is currently a member of Congress representing the 2nd District. Two other candidates, Libertarian Joseph Kexel and Nimrod Y. U. Allen III, an Independent, will also be on the November ballot. There will be a full ballot of candidates in No-

Broken Rudder border challenge held on Shell Lake
Sixteen catamarans have to cross the starting line at the start of the Broken Rudder Wisconsin/Minnesota Challenge that was held Saturday, July 28, on Shell Lake. With beautiful weather and blue skies, it was ideal for spectators. A little more wind would have been nice for the sailors.
Shell Lake is a favorite site for the annual catamaran race that is a competition between sailors in the two-state region. The two teams earn points in their two-day competition. In 2011, Wisconsin evened the rivalry 7-7 with a 117.5-204 victory. The Minnesota win now gives them the edge.
Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Sailors for centuries have had to learn to deal with the wind. Last year, with winds of 30-40 mph, six boats were capsized and the second race was called during the Broken Rudder border challenge. This year with winds of 3-7 mph, the boats struggled to complete the course. Only three races were completed on Saturday, July 28, and two more on Sunday, July 29.— Photos by Larry Samson A view of the stern of a catamaran as this sailor gains on the boat in front of him. He is reading the sails and listening to the sounds they make to use the wind to his advantage.
The person on the right side or starboard is steering the catamaran by the rudder while the other person is attending the sails, working together as a team to get the maximum speed with the available wind. When the wind switches directions, the sailors switch sides, coordinating their moves.

CWD deer carcass disposal and transportation recommendations for Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties
SPOONER — Chronic wasting disease can be spread among deer by both direct contact between animals and exposure to environments contaminated with CWD prions, the protein that causes the disease. Exposure to an area where a CWDpositive carcass has decomposed could be enough to cause infection in deer. “The chance that a deer has CWD is likely very low, but we won’t know that for sure until we have more extensive sampling. We cannot take any chances to have this disease spread any further,” said Mike Zeckmeister, DNR Northern Region wildlife supervisor. Because of this risk, it is important that the carcasses of deer, especially deer within Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties possibly infected with CWD, including all bones and other waste from butchering, be disposed of in a way that protects uninfected deer from exposure. Options include: • Bury the carcass bones and waste deep enough to prevent scavengers from digging it up. • Disposal in a landfill or rendering plant that accepts deer waste. Landfills are a safe and cost-effective
option for disposing of carcass waste from deer potentially infected with CWD. Landfill disposal establishes a barrier between uninfected deer and deercarcass waste that potentially contains infectious CWD material. Scientific research has shown that when properly disposed of in a landfill, prions are extremely unlikely to migrate from the landfill disposal site. There are disposal methods that destroy prions, such as incineration at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit or digestion in sodium hydroxide, but these methods are cost-prohibitive and not practical for the public.
Carcass movement/transportation Currently, Wisconsin law does not restrict the movement of wild-deer carcasses, or certain parts of those carcasses, killed within Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties or other counties outside of the established chronic wasting disease management zone in southern Wisconsin. “But, hunters, taxidermists, meat processors are encouraged to follow these best management practices to minimize any additional spread of CWD,” said David
Zebro, North Region warden. When a deer is killed within Barron, Burnett, Polk or Washburn counties, and any part of it is to be transported outside of those counties, best management practices give the following guidelines. The parts from wild cervids killed within Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties should only be transported beyond those counties if they are in the condition listed below: • Meat that is cut and wrapped — either commercially or privately. • Quarters or other portions of meat to which no part of the spinal column is attached. • Meat that has been deboned. • Hides with no heads attached.
• Finished taxidermy heads. • Antlers with no tissue attached. • Clean skulls with no lymphoid or brain tissue attached. • Upper canine teeth (also known as buglers, whistlers or ivories). The exception to these BMP’s and the only time not to follow these recommendations would be when a hunter takes the whole deer carcass directly to a taxidermist or meat processor. The purpose of following this practice is to prevent tissues most likely to contain CWD from being brought to areas of the state where CWD does not yet exist, thus minimizing the spread of CWD. — from WDNR

County’s unemployment rate up from May Down from last year
by Sherill Summer Special to the Register WASHBURN COUNTY - The Washburn County unemployment rate jumped from 7.7 percent in May to 8.3 percent in June and there were more residents looking for work in June, compared to May, according to figures released recently by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. The good news is that the county also had more employed residents over the same time frame. Both employed residents and residents looking for work jumped substantially from May to June. The 8.3-percent unemployment rate compares to 8.9 percent during June of last year.

Good or evil, your choice!
There is an evil movement in the White House, it extends through the State Department, Homeland Security and other federal agencies; it’s the promotion of the religion of Islam. This is intentional misuse of the power of our government to favor Islam over other religions in our country and the world. Our foreign aid, military and influence is being used to advance the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya, Egypt and now Syria. The FBI failed their responsibility to investigate the Islamic extremist attack that murdered 13 people in 2009 at Fort Hood, Texas, and our government calls this workplace violence. The influence of Muslim extremists extends to the State Department where Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin has family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. When Rep. Michele Bachmann and other Republican lawmakers voiced their concerns about Abedin after information from intelligence and national security agencies raised questions about the Muslim Brotherhood, she was demonized by many in her own party. We have to wonder who is loyal to their country and who is not? President Obama has encouraged the uprisings in Libya, Egypt and Syria, and on Sept. 13, 2011, he praised those he

called fighting for democracy in these Muslim countries. The Muslim Brotherhood is not about democracy and freedom in these countries. The Brotherhood is about Islam taking over and installing their values and laws and our president knows it. Obama knows Christians are being forced to convert to Islam or be killed. Many thousands of Christians are being murdered in the name of Islam, and the president praises those doing the killings. The Brotherhood credo is “Allah is our Objective; the Quran is our Law; The Prophet is our Leader; Jihad is our way and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our Aspirations.” By their own words Islam will not accept our way of life, our laws or accept people of other faiths. Islam is being used as a tool to destroy our country and our way of life. There are those who are standing up to this tyranny, two of these people are Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin who served in Delta Force and Frank Gaffney, a security specialist. His Web site is MuslimbrotherhoodinAmerica.com. It is time to take a stand. Allan Heil Shell Lake
Where did the summer go?
ith the end of the Washburn County Fair, many people are asking where the summer went. This must be an age thing. The county fair was at one time in the middle of August and moved up early so it would take place before the Wisconsin State Fair that is held in early August. When the fair was over, it was close to the start of school. It was a time when the farmers were anxious to finish their second crop of hay while they still had their help at home. The sweet corn and other fresh vegetables were picked and preserved to feed the family. We headed out with ice-cream buckets to pick blackberries. I liked the wild raspberries better but blackberries were easier to pick. The reality is that we still have a month before the children return to school even though the back-to-school sales are in full swing.
Sometimes I wish the retail stores would not jump the gun and let us enjoy the summer since winter, with the blowing snow and subzero temperature, is still fresh in our minds. There are other reminders out there that the end of summer is approaching. Football and volleyball practice start next week, blackbirds are grouping up and days are getting shorter. Let’s enjoy the rest of the summer. Statistically, most families vacation in August. It is a long month with 31 days. We have Jack Pine Savage Days Aug. 3-5, Rutabaga Festival Aug. 22-26, and the Town and Country Days Aug. 31- Sept. 3. Then and only then is summer over and it is time for school to start. School starts for Shell Lake and Spooner on Sept. 4. I wonder where I put my snow shovel?

Cave of ignorance
I am one of the newest library board members at Shell Lake. I would like to request some front-page exposure and follow-up space on other pages for a (Paul Harvey style) “The Rest of the Story.” I have read the article when I returned home, and it is kinda like someone coming out of a cave of ignorance and writ-
ing an article about those pesky Americans bombing Japan in World War II. I don’t recall a single reporter attending a library meeting during my short term on the board.
Do you remember that I wrote about the number of fraudulent signatures on Gov. Scott Walker’s recall election? They found over 60,000 names that were involved. I have in my possession a picture of three signatures of one person that was on Walker’s recall petition. Shell Lake address and the right fire number, but one thing wrong. This person never
signed the Walker petition. I believe that forgery is a crime. Folks, I want to bring this to your attention so that you will know what we are dealing with. We need voter I.D.
A word should be said about the genesis of this committee. This is not a group of people selected by the DNR but rather began when Warden Dave Zebro asked three or four people to chat with him about what people were thinking soon after the announcement was made that a CWD-infected deer had been found near Shell Lake. At that informal meeting, it was suggested that perhaps a committee such as this could be helpful in communicating with the public and in identifying ways to manage the problem. The idea was enthusiastically endorsed by DNR staff, and the three or four of us at that meeting identified others that gave the committee representation from the broad area affected as well as some of the special interests involved. The advisory committee has met three times already. Without any model to follow, we necessarily have spent quite a bit of time determining the best way to move forward and how we might be the most effective in assisting this effort. And we have spent considerable time listening, studying and learning about CWD in general. It has been very enlightening. What all we may become involved in during the coming months, and perhaps years, can’t be predicted yet, but we do know that we can and will play a major role in distributing information about the disease, about how it may impact hunting and handling deer, and about what we as citizens, landowners and hunters can do to help mitigate the problem. Expect to learn about public meetings we will be hosting throughout the affected
area during the next few months. The first public information meeting will be Tuesday, Aug. 21, 7 p.m., at the Spooner High School auditorium. At a recent advisory committee meeting, we had Dr. Bryan Richards of the UWGS National Wildlife Health Center speak to us, and it was an extremely informative and interesting presentation. Richards is perhaps the country’s foremost authority on CWD and is an excellent presenter. He is returning to make his presentation again at the Aug. 21 public meeting. This is a program that everyone should plan to attend. As a committee, we are going to work hard to have a full house for that evening. One observation that has been expressed at our meetings multiple times, and in multiple ways, is what we think we see as public apathy. People are not taking this issue seriously. The deer population of this area is a source of great pleasure for both hunters and nonhunters, it is an important food source for many of us, and it plays a very big role in our economy. It is critical that we all take the matter seriously and become proactive. Can we eliminate it from our deer herd? Maybe not, but we can do things to greatly reduce its spread. It is incumbent on every citizen to do what they can. Attend our public meetings, become well-informed and then do your part.
With all due respect, J.L. Mitch Fox Shell Lake

Trout streams keeping their cool despite drought
EAU CLAIRE — Although drought and high heat have caused fish kills in some marshes and shallow lakes in Wisconsin, the state’s trout streams remain in good condition, biologists said. Many of these streams are continually refreshed by groundwater springs. The influx of cold water provides a buffer against hot, dry conditions at the surface. “This area of the state is experiencing a longer-term precipitation deficit that is lowering groundwater levels and causing greater impacts on trout streams than this summer’s weather,” said biologist Jamison Wendel in Spooner. Still, Wendel reports, the streams in Northwest Wisconsin are in good shape. Biologists point to the difference between short- and long-term consequences. Counties in the southwest have had plenty of rain in recent years, recharging groundwater resources, but are parched this year. Counties in the northwest have had rain this year, while still needing more, but are still reeling from the effects of a six-year drought. “Warm spells can increase water temps to stressful conditions in some streams,” said biologist Dave Seibel, “but
as long as cool nighttime temperatures return every few days, trout can find relief and handle the conditions just fine. Angler reports have been very good.” Mike Staggs, bureau of fisheries director, advised anyone with questions about a particular stream to contact their local fish manager. Patience is advised as crews are busy conducting surveys in the field. Contacts for local fisheries managers are available on the DNR Web site. Staggs said it is unlikely any streams will be closed to fishing in Wisconsin even if the drought worsens. During the drought of the late 1980s, many streams were closed, but when the drought ended and biologists analyzed the effects, they concluded closing the streams was not helpful. In the highest quality streams, trout numbers either remained strong or rebounded quickly and marginal trout streams depend on stocking in any case. The bottom line: if you like to fish for trout, go for it. When high temperatures are in the upper 80s and 90s, however, you might want to get out there at dawn. By noon, you’ll be melting in your waders. — from WDNR

Burnett County beach closed by authorities Testing closes Crooked Lake swimming beach
SIREN - The Burnett County Health Department has closed Crooked Lake Beach in Siren due to high levels of fecal coliform bacteria. High levels have been confirmed in a conclusive water test reported to the health department on July 30. The beach will be closed until two consecutive tests resulting in acceptable levels are obtained. Wisconsin State Statute 254.46 gives local health departments the authority to restrict swimming if a human health hazard exists. The testing consists of sampling for fecal coliform bacteria, an indicator of human and animal waste contamination. Swimming in unsafe water may result in minor illnesses such as ear, eye, nose and throat infections, the most common being gastroenteritis (upset stomach). Children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are at a greater risk of getting sick when they come in contact with
Farmers document livestock losses due to adverse weather
MADISON — With recent adverse weather conditions in some areas of the state, the Farm Service Agency encourages farmers to document and report livestock losses to their local FSA county office. Producers who suffered livestock losses as a direct result of an adverse weather event, such as extreme heat, may need to provide documentation of death if an FSA program for livestock losses is implemented in the 2012 Farm Bill. FSA staff can provide producers with a list of potential acceptable loss documentation that includes proof of death, producer records and verifiable inventory documentation. Some of the acceptable documents may include rendering

contaminated water. The Burnett County Health Department recommends swimmers take caution when swimming at any beach, especially after heavy rains. Bacteria counts usually rise after a rainstorm at all beaches. The most frequent sources of disease-causing microorganisms are waterfowl fecal contamination, sewage overflows, polluted city or agricultural storm-water runoff, sewage treatment plant malfunctions, boating wastes and malfunctioning septic systems. If you are concerned about swimmer’s itch, a type of dermatitis causing a rash and itching, swimmers should rub off with a rough towel before the water film dries on the skin surface. An immediate fresh shower after leaving the water is also effective. For more information about swimming beach monitoring and safety, you can call the Burnett County Health Department at 715-349-7600 or visit the Burnett County Web site at burnettcounty.com - from Burnett County Health Dept.

have been under way this summer. Starting with the 2012-2013 school year, SFdS’s preschool program is expanding from one combined classroom to two, separating the 3- and 4-year-old programs. Various updates have been implemented to ready the classrooms and lunchroom for this preschool program expansion. Carol Waltz, who has been at St. Francis since 2010, will lead the 4-year-old program. She has degrees in both special education and elementary education from UW-Eau Claire. Waltz’s expertise has taken her around northern Wisconsin presenting workshops to preschool teachers, day-care workers and Head Start staff. Before coming to St. Francis de Sales, she was employed during 28 years as teacher and director at Salem Preschool in Shell Lake. Kathy Hewitt, who had previously worked with Waltz at Salem Preschool, was made a part of the preschool staff for the 2011-2012 academic year. Hewitt will be teaching the 3-year-old preschool program, under Waltz’s direction, beginning this fall. Computer and phone systems have been updated over the summer. Several new Mimio interactive whiteboard systems have been added. This technology was made possible thanks to funds raised via a second col-
lection in July at the parishes of St. Francis in Spooner, St. Joseph in Shell Lake and St. Catherine in Sarona. As announced in June, Kurkiewicz will only be teaching half-time in order to dedicate the other half to her duties as principal. To make this possible, Jose Ocariz, who has been teaching Spanish, art and physical education part time since 1998, accepted a full-time position. In addition to his previous responsibilities, Ocariz has been asked to expand the middle school Spanish program from half to full year. He will also be teaching the middle school science classes. One last improvement, still under way, is the transition to a new Web site at saintfrancisschool spooner.com. The Web site will provide information for prospective parents interested in learning more about the options St. Francis de Sales School has to offer as well as useful information for current parents and students. The school’s marketing committee plans to have the site ready for use for the start of school in September. St. Francis de Sales School is still open to new enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year. For more information, please contact Kurkiewicz at 715-635-2774 or 5.6gradesfds@gmail.com. — from SFdS

Composting
hen granddaughter Adalyn visits at my house she likes to help Grammy with doing chores. One task we do together is to walk the kitchen countertop composting container to the compost pile in the backyard. As we dump out the food scraps, including carrot tops, potato peels, eggshells and coffee grounds, we have discussed the pile that we are adding to. How much of the concept of composting sticks with this 3-year-old is hard to tell. But, seeds are being planted. On our way back toward the house, we usually stop at the apple trees to check the size of the apples and to see if they are turning from green to red. We next pay a visit to the garden to see how things have gone from a little seed in the soil to a plant that is bearing green beans to eat. We discover that the beets are ready to consume, also. As we carry the ceramic compost crock back to the kitchen, I remember back to when I
was a child. We didn’t have such a fancy container with its charcoal filter lid. Rather, our container to hold kitchen waste to be dumped on the “pile out back” was an old plastic pail called the “slop bucket.” Before the days of garbage disposals, you probably had a container that was used for kitchen scraps also. Perhaps it had a fancier name than our container did. My grandmother liked to keep her special pail for kitchen scraps under the kitchen sink. To this day, I don’t like the smell of Palmolive dish liquid. This was one of my grandmother’s favorite products, and when I would reach under the sink to get the bottle when doing dishes for her, I could smell the mixture of rotting peelings and coffee grounds. Hopefully, when Adalyn remembers things we have done together, they will be provoked by pleasant smells and enjoyable activities as well as positive learning experiences.

Bowling for storms
here is something so nostalgic and comforting about harmless thunderstorms. One night, as I stayed up until 1 a.m. to finish a paper, the lightning streaked across the sky and the thunder rolled into the night. Raindrops pelted against the glass and I took a small break from diligent typing to smell the scent of rain on pavement and a soaked sky. I am reminded of a time when I was little and afraid of thunderstorms. My younger sister and I used to share a room, and our bathroom was connected to my oldest sister’s room. During booming thunder, and flashes of lightning illuminating our entire room, I remember sneaking into her room and crawling into bed with her out of fear. “It’s just the angels bowling in heaven, Abby.” And during an especially loud boom she’d say, “Sounds like they got a strike!” The rain danced on the skylight in our bathroom and the lightning flashed its sinister smile while the thunder replied in loud laughter. The blankets were warm against my skin and my sister’s steadfast words and arms wrapped around me. And suddenly, thunderstorms weren’t so scary anymore. When I think of thunderstorms, my mind wanders to stormy nights in summer, random bouts of midday rain and swimming in the lake while the rain made delicate ripples on the water’s surface. There was a night
when I sat out on the smaller deck on the third floor of our house, my body protected from the rain by the roof. The thunder echoed across the lake, the lightning’s jagged, arthritic-looking fingers reached beyond the sky, the sweetness of rain wrapped around me. I felt totally and utterly safe and comforted by watching a storm unfold before me while I sat untouched by the rain and lightning. There were other nights where I opened the curtains and windows to my bedroom only to lie in bed and fall asleep to the sounds of a midnight summer storm. I remember rainy summer days as a kid, the smell of rain steaming on hot pavement, running outside in my swimsuit, getting coated with grass and mud until we had to jump into the lake to wash off. The sun would poke out and the rain would dissipate, and a rainbow would decorate the sky. But what began as a fear as a small child quickly turned into a pocket I could keep - teeming with memories, comfort and dreams. Now, as my nieces - all ages 5 and under - are scared of thunder and lightning, I tell them what their mother once told me as a little girl - it’s just the angels bowling in heaven. And they giggle as they try to guess whether it was a strike, or a gutter ball, or a split, or somewhere in between. And suddenly, thunderstorms aren’t so scary anymore.

SPOONER — The Washburn County Area Humane Society will be hosting the fifth-annual Par for Pets Golf Tournament at the Spooner Golf Club, located northeast of Spooner on Hwy. H, on Sunday, Aug. 12, with a 3 p.m. shotgun start. This will be a four-person, nine-hole scramble. The cost of this event covers the nine holes of golf, a cart and a grilled chicken buffet. Prizes will be awarded to the first- and second-place golfers. You may preregister by calling the Spooner Golf Club at 715-635-3580 or you may register the day of the event beginning at 1 p.m. What is so good about this tournament is that there is no age limit or skill level to be a part of this fun, and you will be a part of a fundraiser for the local animal shelter located at the south end of Spooner. Golfers that day will not only experience the fun of different hole contests and putting competition, but will also enjoy the satisfaction that the profits from this event go entirely to the this local humane society. Financing this local shelter is still based largely on donations from this type of fundraising effort and community support. Donations of any type, monetary or shelter supplies, to the animal shelter are never taken lightly and are even more appreciated knowing it is harder to give to charity in these economic times. — from WCAHS

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - Lee Gramberg is a 1995 Shell Lake graduate who’s been a successful in life already by finding a need and filling it. “I was raised on a farm and spent my childhood working in the fields and milking cows,” he said. “I also got interested in construction when I was 15 and decided that it would be the career I would pursue. When I was a kid, I was fascinated as to how things worked. I took apart lots of things just to see their mechanisms. I can’t remember ever putting anything back together though, but I learned a lot about how things work.” Gramberg started his building career with the easy projects like decks and remodeling. He soon moved into roofing, both steel and shingle, and pole buildings and garages. He was instrumental in adding a standing 40x80 pole barn, which was purchased in Cumberland, to an already standing 40x80 pole barn. That meant taking the first building completely apart and transferring it to the job site and then reassembling it and adding it onto the other building. The resulting structure was huge, 40x220, and everyone was well-satisfied with the work. His fiancée, Stephanie Schultz, was raised on a horse-breeding farm, and so she has brought these animals into their family mix making it a natural that his next project would be something for them. Last year, they were in Madison for a horse fair, and Gramberg realized the possibilities of constructing the portable shelters he saw at the fair. “The shelters were clever, but I thought they should be able to be modified to fit the buyer’s needs.” Some owners were going to use them for horses, some cattle, and others were going to store their winter wood in them. When the various uses presented themselves, he added building options for the customers like

cleanout doors, roll-up doors, an electrical system, sliding doors, gates, tongueand-groove lumber or even windows on their building. Last year at the Minnesota State Fair, where 45,000 people attended the horse expo, they took four 10x12 buildings down for display along with a 12x24 one and sold all they had and took orders for more. His smaller sheds were used at each gate, and they sat in the larger one, which they lit at night and handed out their new brochure and an-

Beef pasture walk planned
BRUCE — The NW Wisconsin Graziers Network and UW-Extension invite you to a unique beef pasture walk at the Blake and Maureen Bocek farm at Bruce in Rusk County on Saturday, Aug. 11, from 10 a.m.-noon. The farm is located at N5371 Mattison Road, west of Hwy. 40. The tour will begin at the new pole shed. From Bruce, take Hwy. 40 north one mile, turn left or west on CTH O, drive about two miles, then stay on Johnson for 100 yards, turn right on Mattison Road. Go one-half mile. Watch for the signs. There are two farms with 200 acres of grazing. The Boceks currently raise 70-

swered a myriad of questions. He offers free delivery within a 90-mile radius, which was another great selling point at the fair. Between the fair and adding them to Craigslist last September, they’ve sold over 60 sheds. Now Gramberg has taken his shelter building business out of his own backyard and moved it to Shell Lake. It’s located at the old feed mill on CTH B and Hwy. 63. This building had been on the market for several years with little interest to
the buying public. It was deemed to be too large, too chopped up, and the parking was minimal. It was perfect for the Portable Shelters business though. The far left part of the building is where the shelters are built, the next building is where the building material is stored and the next building is dedicated to his newest project, yard barns. The last building will be used as office space until someone wants to rent it for retail space. Gramberg credits his business on several principles, being on time, getting back to people quickly and working with his customers to get exactly what they want. He has finished buildings on display in Cumberland at the Ace Hardware store and has one outside his new shop. He’s got a Web site, portableshelters.biz, and is on Facebook under portable shelters. His cell phone number is 715-4160140. Until recently, he’s worked alone on the shelters, but with this new facility open in town, his son, Tyler, helps out, and he has four other men on his construction crew that help with building projects other than the sheds. When his day is over, he returns home where their three kids are busy with 4-H projects and daily chores. With 11 horses, 30 chickens, three steers, eight sheep, seven pigs, six rabbits, three ducks, three dogs and two cats, there’s plenty to do and willing hands to do them. He’s teaching the kids the same responsibility that he knew as a kid, and when the chores are finally done, they head for the house to work on completing the remodeling of their own kitchen. They’re using clever recycled materials, and they’re excited about the finished product.
80 beef cows, mostly Black Angus, and some occasional stockers. They practice rotational grazing, following a plan drawn up by NW Graziers. The farm features a new hay storage shed that was funded on a low-interest loan through FSA, and a creek crossing funded through NRCS cost sharing. The Boceks own a fencing business called Northwest Fence. They will show different types of fencing on the farm including high-tensile, barbed and woven wire. The family has been beef farming for more than 50 years. For more information, contact Rich Toebe, the Rusk County UW-Extension ag agent, at 715-532-2151, Ext. 4, or Randy Gilbertson at 715-520-2112 or Lynn Johnson at 715-268-8778 at NW Graziers. — from UW-Extension

It's party time! Danbury set for centennial celebration
Danbury set for centennial celebration!
by Carl Heidel Special to the Register DANBURY – After waiting 100 years for an excuse to really party down, Danbury finally has one. After months of events and anticipation, the Danbury centennial has finally arrived, and if that’s not an excuse for a party, nothing ever will be. The big celebration runs from Saturday, Aug. 4, through Sunday, Aug. 5, and there will be lots to enjoy in that short time pe-
riod. Festivities kick off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, with an official Danbury historical display at the Swiss Town Hall that runs until 3 p.m. At the same time, Main Street in Danbury will be buzzing with a craft fair, and the post office will be issuing an official Danbury postal cancellation stamp at the Swiss Town Hall. And since the lumberjack era played a big part in Danbury’s history, there will be a lumberjack show running at 12:30, 2 and 3:30 p.m. on Main Street. The Danbury Lions will be serving food, and the Danbury Fire and Rescue will provide bever-
ages. The events of that first day will draw to a close a 7 p.m. with the 100th-anniversary dance featuring the Jim Post Band and sponsored by the Fishbowl. Sunday, Aug. 5, the actual anniversary date, the fun resumes with an anniversary lunch at the fire station at 11 a.m. And after time to let the food settle, the party resumes at 1 p.m. when Wayne’s Foods Plus unveils a car show that will run until 4 p.m. at Wayne’s store. And as they say in all those TV ads trying to sell you something, “But wait! There’s more!” And there will be more, be-
cause the Siren Community Band will perform at the Swiss Town Hall from 1:30 to 2 p.m. Then comes that final event. From 2 to 3 p.m. there will be the official anniversary ceremony with a proclamation, speakers, a cake-cutting ceremony and the announcement of the raffle winners. Quite a party! Plan now to attend because if you miss this one ... well, you’ll have to wait 100 years for the next big party.
Frederic couple’s niece survives Colorado shooting
President Obama shares Young’s story with the nation
by Mary Stirrat Special to the Register FREDERIC – Across the nation, people are still reeling from the shooting in an Aurora, Colo., theater that left a dozen dead and nearly five dozen wounded. For one Frederic couple, however, the story has a happier ending. Allie Young, the 19-year-old niece of Jack and Deb Route of Frederic, was shot in the neck during the rampage, but should be released from the hospital this week, her aunt said. “I’m glad we have a happy ending,” said Deb. “Things look good. She should recover fully.” Young will go home with 30 pellets still in her body, but they apparently won’t cause any problems, Deb added. The 19year-old is the daughter of Deb’s brother, Steve Young, and his wife, Kathy. Young drew national attention when President Barack Obama told her story at the end of his July 22 speech at the University of Colorado Hospital, where many of the shooting victims were recovering. He used the story to point out the

strength and courage found in many of America’s young people, noting the heroic efforts of Young’s best friend in stopping the flow of blood, calling 911, and helping to get Young to the ambulance. Stephanie Davies, 21, and Young were in the Aurora theater watching the movie
when the gunman entered and threw a gas canister, which landed just feet away from the two. Young stood to give warning but was immediately shot. As she went down to the floor, her friend, Davies, went down with her, pulling her from the aisle and applying
pressure to the wound. Young told her to run, but instead Davies used her cell phone to call 911, even as the gunman continued shooting. She later helped carry Young to a waiting ambulance. On Sunday, Obama visited the hospital, talking with each of the survivors and the friends and family that were with them. In his address to the nation after visiting the victims, the president told Young and Davies' story. “I don’t know how many people at any age,” he said, “would have the presence of mind that Stephanie did, or the courage that Allie showed. “And so, as tragic as the circumstances of what we’ve seen today are, as heartbreaking as it is for the families, it is worth spending most of our time reflecting on young Americans like Allie and Stephanie, because they represent what’s best in us, and they assure us that out of this darkness a brighter day is going to come.” Davies also used her cell phone to contact Young’s parents, who were sleeping at the time. They then gave the news to the Routes. Young is doing well, according to Deb, who said, “She’s a pretty strong kid. She has a great family and good support.”
Swedish fiddlers to perform in Siren
The Swedish fiddlers will perform at the Siren United Methodist Church on Sunday, Aug. 5, 6 p.m. – Photo submitted
SIREN – Once again a popular group of young Swedish fiddlers will return for a performance in Siren. The Vikarbyns Lilla Spelmanslag will perform in concert on Sunday, Aug. 5, 6 p.m., at Siren United Methodist Church. The concert will feature folk music from all over Scandinavia. The Vikarbyns Lilla Spelmanslag consists of fiddlers in their midteens to early 20s who attend a school devoted to the study of music in the province of Dalarna, Sweden. Several of them have previously visited this area. Margaretha Mattsson, well-known throughout Sweden for her innovative techniques with young musicians, is their director. The fiddlers group was formed in 1996 and has since performed in parts of Scandinavia as well as Ireland, England and the United States. Their music, both lively and serene, is enhanced by their colorful Swedish costumes, and will appeal to audiences of all ages. There is no admission charge, but a freewill offering will be taken. Siren United Methodist Church is located one block west and one block north of the town traffic light. – submitted

Gretchen Granzin earned a Best of Show with her flower macro. This was the third straight year for this young photographer. Washburn County Fairest of the Fair Jacque Ullrich and Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair Richelle Kastenson take time out of their busy schedule for this photo. Kastenson is a UW-Whitewater junior who plans to be an elementary teacher. “I have so many memories of the fair growing up,” she said. Hopefully her time at the Washburn County Fair will be another good memory.
The veggie races are a hit with Taylor Weinstock and the other children at the fair. Participants build racers out of vegetables and compete in different age groups. They are not required to eat all their vegetables but not all the racers make it from the staging area to the racetrack.

Clam River Whitetails hosting open house
Whitetails of Wisconsin summer picnic held at local deer farm for first time
by Marty Seeger Special to the Register
FREDERIC – Former major league pitcher Jarrod Washburn and wife Kerrie are hosting the Whitetails of Wisconsin summer picnic at their Clam River Whitetails deer farm Saturday, Aug. 11. The picnic is held at a different location in the state every year, but this is the first time for Clam River Whitetails. The picnic is geared toward showcasing the deer farm to other deer farmers across the state, but it’s open to the public as well. The Inter-County Leader featured an article on the farm last summer, late August, that showcased the huge whitetailed bucks on the property located just north of Coomer, with some of those bucks pushing well beyond 350 inches according to the Boone and Crockett scoring system. “The ones from last year that were big are bigger this year,” said farm manager Greg Listle, who hopes that a large portion of the general public will attend to not only see the large bucks and even does and fawns, but also for an education on deer farming. “They’ll get an education just coming here. If they come and they spend three or five hours here, or even one or two hours, just being able to talk to deer farmers, it completely changes people’s perspective on the deer-farming industry,” Listle said. The event is also about showcasing the deer to other deer farmers across the state. Last year, the farm hosted a pasture walk, with about half of the 50 people who showed up being deer farmers and local farmers. The other half were just curious onlookers who admitted to being a bit nosy and wanted to see what was on the other side of the fence, and to see what deer farming was all
Spooner volleyball tryouts set
SPOONER — Any interested female attending Spooner High School this fall who wants to play for the Spooner volleyball program is welcomed to participate in the tryout process. Tryouts are scheduled at the high school gym as follows: Monday, Aug. 13, and Tuesday, Aug. 14, freshmen and sophomores 8-10 a.m.; juniors and seniors, 10 a.m.noon. Wednesday, Aug. 15, freshmen-seniors will have skill testing from 8-11 a.m., and game play evaluations from 3-5 p.m. Teams will be posted Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 7 p.m. — from Spooner Area School District
about. “The feedback that we got, from farmers as well as the public, was just phenomenal,” Listle said. Along with farm tours they are hoping to have a veterinarian on hand to show the public how blood samples are drawn from the deer and how they’re handled. If the weather is too hot, however, they won’t be handling any deer because it isn’t safe. The picnic is free and gates open at 10 a.m. The free lunch is planned for 12:30 p.m., but anyone planning to eat must RSVP no later than Tuesday, Aug. 7, by contacting Listle at 715-216-2037. The farm has also scheduled a band to play later in the afternoon, beginning at 4:30 p.m. Clam River Whitetails is located on 5234 Kent Lake Road, Frederic, 54837. Listle says a GPS will bring you right to the front door, but Kent Lake Road can be easily located off of CTH B, seven miles east of Siren. Listle said to also look for the picnic signs to help guide you there. “We’re so far in the middle of nowhere, we don’t get a lot of deer farmers that come and visit us, and this is a way to showcase our animals to the other deer farmers,” Listle said.
Clam River Whitetails is hosting its first-ever Whitetails of Wisconsin summer picnic on Saturday, Aug. 11. The public is encouraged to visit the deer farm, to get an education on deer farming in Wisconsin and take a look at some impressive whitetailed deer.

Barronett by Judy Pieper
The Washburn County Fair was great! I took three of my grandchildren, Savanna, Maddy and Wrigley Marsh, up there on Friday afternoon. While the girls went to the midway, Wrigley and I went to the barns to see the animals. When we went into the chicken barn, he was fascinated. I thought, “Oh boy, a little grandchild who likes chickens as much as I do.” That was right up to the point when a rooster crowed. The first time it happened it was a short distance from us, and I reassured him — he’s just 1 year old — that it wouldn’t hurt him. But, the next time, we were right in front of the cage of the rooster that was crowing. He was pretty loud in voicing his opinion that he wanted nothing to do with any more chickens, so we got out of there. Hopefully he changes his mind by the time he’s 2. Maddy and Savanna had a great time winning wonderful prizes (plastic swords) at games on the midway. Maddy is 13 and Savanna is 15, I doubt they were very impressed with the swords. But then Savanna decided to play the ball tossing game until she won a goldfish. And $15 later, she could have bought lots of goldfish, she won one. She bought goldfish food, took it home, let it get acclimated to our water just like the guy told her to, and finally put him in a nice new home of his own. You guessed it. Bright and early the next morning he was a goner. Good thing we didn’t rush out and buy a 50-gallon aquarium for him. Live and learn. There is going to be a get-together in the basement of Barronett Lutheran Church next Sunday immediately after the worship service to celebrate Ruth Grover’s birthday. She is having one of those annoying birthdays that end with a zero, so we all insisted that we have cake and coffee with her. If you are one of Ruth’s many friends, please feel free to join us. Anitia Lehmann had Suzy and Ryan and family over for supper on Saturday evening to celebrate Ryan’s birthday a little late. She had fresh vegetables that Penny and Jerry Sundvall had brought over. The cucumbers were to die for. And lots of other good food, of course. She makes the best homemade German chocolate cake I have ever tasted. We all had a very good time eating and visiting. Terry Goodrich, aka the friendly neighborhood moocher, called on Saturday evening to tell me about taking a trip to Forts Folle Avoine. Terry has a tepee, and he knew that he would be able to get a
lot of information about the history of tepees at The Fort. He started talking to a man who had a tepee at The Fort, and he found out a lot about the Native American customs of entering the tepee, sleeping in the tepee and the way the food was cooked. He also learned about erecting the tepee. The women were the ones responsible for sewing the tepees, and it was a very prestigious thing to be a tepee sewer. It was a lot of work, as you can well imagine, even when they switched from buffalo hides to canvas. They started using canvas when the buffalo were becoming scarce, and actually, the canvas lasted longer than the hides. Anyway, even though the man was considered the head of the household, the tepee belonged to the woman. Even in the case of a divorce, or whatever, the man had to leave and the woman retained possession of the tepee. Hmmm. Terry noticed that things haven’t changed much over the last couple of hundred years. The man Terry was talking to took him over by his tepee, and as they were standing outside, Terry could hear a dog growling and snarling from inside the tepee. He could tell by the sounds of it that it was a pretty big critter. Everyone knows that Terry likes ponies, puppies, pies and kitties, not necessarily in that order. But that sounded like a very nasty dog inside the tepee. The walls of a tepee are not very thick, and this one was off the ground slightly for ventilation, so Terry, being just a little nervous, asked if the dog was tied up. The man gave Terry a funny look and asked him to come inside the tepee. Terry is not normally afraid of dogs, but he was pretty apprehensive about going inside. Once in there, he looked around and couldn’t find any dog, but there was a very portly gentleman, sound asleep, snoring and making the growling/snarling sounds. I know exactly what Terry is talking about. Once when we were little we stayed at Uncle Bud and Aunt Helen’s house overnight, and we woke up to Bud’s snoring, scared to death that there was a bear in the house. Sharai Hefty called to let us know that she will be acting in the play “The Dixie Swim Club” at the Red Barn Theatre in Rice Lake from Aug. 1-11. That is a great play. I saw it in Cumberland and hope I’ll be able to get over to Rice Lake to see it again. Oh, show time is at 7:30 p.m. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you have a great week. See you soon.

Andy Griffith: America’s sheriff
by Mary B. Olsen The news came just as we prepared to celebrate the Fourth of July. The actor who played the role of the sheriff of Mayberry, Andy Griffith, passed away at the age of 86, at his home in North Carolina. In 2000, he had undergone triple bypass surgery. His wife, Cindi, said that he was the love of her life, her partner and best friend. She said he had an incredibly strong Christian faith, and she knows he is at peace with God. Andy Griffith gained fame acting in several Hollywood movies and in stage productions. In the movie, “A Face in the Crowd,” he played a kind of likable scoundrel, probably modeled after the radio star, Arthur Godfrey. It was in the television series “The Andy Griffith Show,” in which he played Sheriff Andy Taylor, that he became a larger-than-life American folk hero. The series ran from 1960 to 1968. He was a small-town sheriff, the kind of man who could be reasonable, polite and a Southern gentleman, but he was shrewd, and no one could hoodwink him. He had his deputy, Barney Fife, played by the comic actor Don Knotts, and his little boy, Opie,
played by Ron Howard. They say the series showed small-town America to the world. At the end of the 1960s, the entertainment industry went through dramatic changes. There was very little family programming. The show about Mayberry was always wholesome entertainment designed for families and children. Sheriff Andy was the heart and soul of Mayberry. Barney was the highly excitable helper, more than likely to get into trouble, but Andy could get him out of it. Then there was Gomer Pyle, played by Jim Nabors, and Goober Pyle, played by George Lindsey, and many other delightful small-town characters. It was a show about folks who enjoyed life. I think of them as folks who loved to sit around the cracker barrel in the general store and swap stories and argue politics. Andy was born June 1, 1926, in Mount Airy, N.C. It is where he grew up. The show was filmed in Mount Airy. Just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, the folks in the little town celebrate Mayberry Days, and they have an Autumn Leaves Festival. It’s a grape-growing region where there are wineries. They say Mount Airy is a great place to hear bluegrass and traditional music. Like many of our celebrated actors, Andy had problems in his personal life.

Heart Lake news
Another beautiful day. Days are getting shorter, but I don’t think it is so noticeable, yet. It’s so nice to have the windows open until the sun is hot in the afternoon. One tenant here at Glenview said she saw a mother doe and a fawn outside her window Sunday night. The Washburn County Fair is now history and it will be 102 next year. We planned a trip to the fair from here, but I think it was just too hot and no one chose to go. Carolyn and Byron Denton returned to their home in California after spending a couple of weeks here with the Flachs. We welcome Ruth Swan to Glenview. She has lived in Cumberland many years. We hope you will feel welcome here, Ruth. I would imagine everyone watched the opening of the Olympics on Friday night. They always have such outstanding exercises, even ads and surprises. It was fun to watch. We celebrated Charlie Paffel’s birthday on Thursday, July 26, with our usual cake and ice cream. Happy birthday, Charlie. Also having birthdays this last month were Carla Gronning, Wendy Hayes, Ann Okonek, Mary Randall and Chloe Wykel. Happy birthday to you all. Mary and John Marschall took in the Washburn County Fair on Saturday and also the Polk County Fair. On Sunday, Mary attended a wedding shower for daughter Sara at the Drewe home put on by Gina Drewe, Robyn Heineke and Elaine Molls. The wedding is fast approaching. Visiting with Roger and Mavis Flach’s for a week were Ronnie Erickson and grandson Tristan from Greensboro, N.C.
On Saturday, Mavis and Roger Flach joined the Erickson family and relatives and friends at Jan Erickson’s for a family get-together. Curt and Martha Pederson and Daniel of Hudson visited Peder Pederson for four days. They took in the Washburn County Fair and helped Peder at his home. Happy wedding anniversary to Tim and Sue Pederson of Amherst who are celebrated on Monday, July 30. Visiting with Helen V. Pederson on Sunday afternoon were Milton and Jean Odden of Rice Lake. Arlys Santiago and her sister, Avis Paulson, of Verndale, met Avis’ daughters Cindy and Sharon of Texas at Albuquerque, N. M., for a surprise retirement party for Avis’ son, Mark Paulsen, having worked at U of N.M. as a strength coach for 25 years. This was held at Mark’s home. They report a good time, and we congratulate you too, Mark. Arlys and Avis returned on Tuesday. Florence Carlson, Lillian Ullom, Margaret Jones and Marvin Mortensen attended the wedding on Saturday of Jenny Mortensen and McKenzie Curtis at Full Gospel, with the reception and dance at the community center. Jenny is the daughter of Roger and Sheryl Mortensen, and McKenzie Curtis is the son of Kelly and Jerry Curtis. Here to attend the wedding from Louisiana was Roger’s brothers, Dale, and his wife and two grandchildren; Greg, and his wife and two grandchildren; and sister Janine and Eugene Dent. Congratulations to the happy couple. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Karen Mangelsen visited Lois Snyder Friday morning to wish her a happy birthday. Chad, Jenny, Aubrey and Ashley Harrison were weekend guests of Nina and Lawrence Hines. Weekend visitors of Donna and Gerry Hines were Mark and Sue Hines and Donna Edgar, Roxy, Jack and Matthew Rodriquez. Jerry and Rose Sexton hosted a Mangelsen family reunion Saturday afternoon at their home. Thirty-three family members were there. Oldest attendee was Nick Mangelsen, 80, and youngest was Elsie Marek, 4.
Hank and Karen Mangelsen went to Timberland Sunday afternoon for a gettogether at the Timberland church hosted by Wayne and Marie Romsos. The celebration was in honor of the baptism of Matthew Losey, grandson of Wayne and Marie. Lida Nordquist went to the home of Joleen and Richard Funk Sunday to help Joleen celebrate her birthday. Sunday evening visitors of Gerry and Donna Hines were Lawrence and Nina Hines. Karen and Hank Mangelsen visited April, Dave, Patty and Mandy Close Sunday evening.
He and his first wife, Barbara Edwards, had two children, Sam and Dixie. They divorced and he married Salica Cassuto, and that marriage ended in divorce. He and his third wife, Cindi, were married in 1983. It seems like so many of our beloved actors are passing from the scene. Don passed away in 2006. George, who went on to become part of the cast of “Hee Haw,” passed away in May of this year. I hear that Jim is still around. And Ron is making epic movies. Andy played a Southern lawyer in the series “Matlock” from 1986 to 1995. It probably showed the world that the Southern courts were where people seek justice. They are not the setting for monkey trials, where people debate the evo-
lutionary theories. With a lawyer like Matlock, the client was in good hands. Andy sang gospel. He had been given many awards in his acting career, but the award for his gospel album was probably his most treasured. Many people mourned his passing. He was like an old and revered friend to the nation. Ron stated, “… his pursuit of excellence and the joy he took in creating, served generations and shaped my life. I’m forever grateful. RIP, Andy.” I like to think of him sauntering down a dusty country road whistling a merry tune. We are all going to miss him.

Candidates and interest groups spent $81 million on recall efforts
by Shawn Johnson Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Candidates and interest groups spent nearly $81 million, combined, in the failed effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker, according to a new report by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. The $80.9 million spent on the recall was just for the governor’s race. Wisconsin Democracy Campaign Director Mike McCabe says that if you add in what was spent on state Senate recalls this summer and last, the total jumps to nearly $138 million. “We saw spending and fundraising records galore fall in these state Senate recall elections in 2011, and of course, fundraising and spending records again set in the governor’s race, too.
So money screamed in these elections.” The leading spender was Walker himself, who poured roughly $36 million into his recall victory. The next biggest spender on the Republican side was the Republican Governor’s Association, which spent $9.5 million. On the Democratic side, the Greater Wisconsin Political Fund led the way, spending $5.3 million attacking Walker. The No. 2 spender was Wisconsin for Falk, a labor-funded group that spent $4 million on Kathleen Falk’s unsuccessful primary bid. McCabe said other groups were able to hide their spending, leaving the Democracy Campaign to estimate. “Even some of the groups that disclose their
spending don’t have to reveal their actual donors. So we’ve got an awful lot of dark money that’s flowing into these elections.” According to the Democracy Campaign, Walker and Republican groups outspent Democrats $58.7 million to $22 million.
I was sitting out on my front deck one evening and a couple of sandhill cranes flew over squawking and a little green tree frog that lives behind my welcome sign answered them, four times. They do sound somewhat the same. Weather was great for our Washburn County Fair this year and for my boys who are getting in the third crop of hay. They’re grateful for having a crop to put in, unlike lots of other places. This past week we did get a few sprinkles of rain, each drop helps. Crickets and cicadas have started singing. Signs of fall. It’s time to turn another calendar page already, that’s hard to believe, August is here. Jeff Hutton, Amarillo, Texas, was up Wednesday night until Sunday staying at Greg and Sue Krantz’s to watch the kids at the fair. Wednesday evening both Lainy and Chane rode horses in the gymkhana, each getting five blues. Thursday they took part in the horse drill team where Chane got the high point trophy for open class. Saturday they both took part in the horse show, where Lainy got high points for her age group for her horse. The kids left on a vacation with their dad. Vinnie Fergerson, Friendship, spent a few days here at the Rux cabin and visited at Anton Frey’s a couple of times. Mavis Schlapper and Joyce Wade took in the dance at Whitetail with Trees on the Moon playing Saturday night. Jan Rath, Mavis Schlapper and Marion Rieter took first, second and third place at women’s horseshoes Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon, Mavis Schlapper, her sister, Joyce, Jan Rath’s friends, Jim and Marvin went up to Pine River where Larry and The Drifters were entertaining. Judy Stodola visited Virginia Stodola on Thursday. Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson, were up on the weekend. Saturday, Virginia’s granddaughter, Coreen, and sons Sam and Sawyer of Hudson were up. Russ and son Corey Furchtenicht went on a motorcycle ride with 30 area dairy farmers to Black River Falls and toured a brewery while there. Russ reports there were 28 Harleys, one Yamaha, and one Can-Am threewheeler on the trip.
Sympathy to the family of Larry Todd, 60, Madge, who passed away July 16. A celebration of his life was held at the Madge Town Hall on Saturday. A speedy get-well is wished for a former West Sarona neighbor boy, Adam Gronning, who was airlifted to Eau Claire with a badly broken femur last Monday in an accident near CTH B and Hwy. 253. Shell Lake Boy Scout Troup 51, that Casey Furchtenicht is in, spent Sunday through Friday at Camp Phillips. Roger and Cindy Furchtenicht attended the Friday night closing ceremonies. Brett Holman and Casey Furchtenicht went to Danbury to the Forts Folle Avoine Rendezvous and tented out Friday and Saturday night, taking part in the event. Les and Sandi Vogt had some high school friends from the Twin Cities here Saturday night for a little gettogether. Brian Harrison, Little Ripley Lake, stopped for water while biking on Thursday and I had a nice chat with him. It was such a hot day. Saturday a biker from Menomonie stopped by to borrow a socket to fit his bike chain and filled up with water. He was on his way to Webster, so I had a nice visit with him. Last Tuesday my brother, Don, and Shirley Shoquist, sister Nell Lee, Stanberry, and Sharon and Merle Wilber, Webster, and myself joined sister Verna Clyde at her daughter Karen and Richard Olson’s in Mackay Valley for a spaghetti and meatball supper together. Thursday noon, Mary Krantz and I met some classmates from the Town of Crystal of years back, June (Johnson) Ellingson, Green Bay, and Lois (Martin) Titas, Louisville, Ky., at her summer place in Springbrook and had a great visit together over lunch in Spooner. Friday when I got home from the fair it was nice to have my yard all mowed. Grandson Duane Swanson, Menomonie, had come up for the afternoon and then had supper with me. Sunday, daughter Mary Marschall and I attended a
bridal shower for Sara held at the Crewe Farm, Cumberland, hosted by three of Kyle’s friends’ moms. Really a fun country-style event. They served luscious pies and ice cream for lunch, fun games and they received some neat gifts. Elaine Ryan and Rocky Furchtenicht attended the Weitzenkamp family reunion in Dodge Center, Minn., on Saturday with a good turnout of cousins attending. Reports crops look good in that area. This weekend, Aug. 3-5, is Jack Pine Savage Days in Spooner with lots of fun things going on to enjoy. The Whitetail Campground is having their first-annual golf tournament at Butternut Golf Course.

Happiness is wished for each couple.
This is the last of July that I will have to write about for this year. Yes, July is about gone, and it’s hard to believe it, as summer is about gone. In about a month it will be time for school to start with the school bells ringing. I don’t know where the summer went, do you? Happy birthday wishes go out to Joanne Dahlstrom on her special day, Aug. 2. Have a great day, Joanne. Aug. 2, a happy birthday to Mark Knoop, our Dewey Country chairman, to Greta Johnson, and to Ashlyn Mitchell. All have a wonderful day.

Also a very happy birthday to Wyatt Stellrecht as he enjoys his special day. Has anyone noticed that there aren’t any squirrels around? Usually we have eight to 10 squirrels running around in our yard and up the trees. This year we don’t seem to have them. Maybe the coyotes or some other animal got them. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Judy Fox who passed away July 21. Judy was ahead of me in school.
Judy will be missed by her friends and family. Don’t the corn and soybeans look great? Yes, we had some rain and it sure helped. Let’s hope we get more rain as the corn is in need of it now with the ears forming. This year I didn’t plant a garden. I guess I have lots of food in the basement and in the freezers, so there’s no use of planting any more. I didn’t even make jam as the girls have lots also. Saturday, Jim and Sandy Atkinson attended the Atkinson reunion at Lyle Atkinson’s. Sandy says there were lots of people there and it was nice to see everyone. Sandy Redding tells us her honey, Bernard, had his chemo treatment last Friday. She says he will have to take seven treatments in all. Jeff and Dee Redding and children were up for the weekend, and they painted a shed red with white trim. Please keep Bernard and Sandy in your special thoughts and prayers. Butch and Loretta VanSelus took in the Washburn County Fair last Thursday. In the evening, they also took in the horse pull, which both of them enjoyed. Jarrett and Bev Casselious and son Eric spent the weekend with Bev’s parents, Carl and Betty Meister. Micheal Patrick Murray and Steve Hulleman worked on siding Diane Hulleman’s home on Saturday and Sunday. Talking with Beth Crosby we find the Chad Crosbys were home for the weekend. Saturday, Garry and Beth Crosby visited Preston and Pattie Haglin. Sunday, Glen and Lorraine Crosby and Shorty and Melissa, Tyler and Katie Ann were at Garry and Beth’s for supper. Tyler and Katie Ann took dairy, beef and a horse to the Washburn County Fair where they received many different prizes, which is great. Thursday, Shorty and son Tyler headed for the Wisconsin State Fair where Tyler was to show dairy. I’m sure Tyler will come out on top. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio SUPERIOR - Three years after the fish-killing disease VHS was found in Lake Superior, a researcher will come out with a report next week that says for the first time, fish in that lake may have built up immunity to the disease. University of Minnesota Extension aquaculture specialist Nick Phelps says there’s no doubt viral hemorrhagic septicemia exists in Lake Superior. “Now that’s good and bad. It shows us the virus is surviving in fish, persisting in the wild. That’s the bad part. The good part is, it’s not killing them.” While VHS exists in every Great Lake, and there have been large fish kills in four of those water bodies, there have been no fish kills in Lake Superior. Phelps will report to the American Fisheries Conference in La Crosse next week that VHS may not be the great

plague after all. “In some locations, this will no doubt persist and cause long-term mortality events. In other locations, like Lake Superior, it hasn’t had these outbreaks. Maybe it’s water temperature, maybe it’s population density. No, it’s not going to live up to the hype. That’s just a guess right now. Time will tell.” But Phelps believes Lake Superior fish have become immune. In his doctoral dissertation, which has been four years in the making, Phelps says this immunity may be happening in the other Great Lakes as well, but VHS remains a serious threat. “How long that’ll last for and whether it’s able to be passed from parent to progeny is unknown still, I think. That’s where the time will tell. That’s what we don’t really know.” Because VHS still has large fish-killing potential, Phelps says fisheries need to keep their guard up and keep it from spreading to inland lakes. But he says management practices in fish farms outside the infected areas should be relaxed.

girl said to her date, “If you do not tell me that you love me, I am going to hold my breath until I pass out.” “Holding your breath may be interesting,” he said. “Being a doctor, I realize that if you pass out it may be a metabolic disorder. I suggest Vitamin B6. You can take a tablet or eat liver.” “I asked for love,” sobbed the girl, “and all I get is a prescription for beef liver.” Everyone needs love. It is the greatest gift the world has ever known. It takes the unloved and makes them believe they are loveable. It takes the unacceptable and makes them feel acceptable. It brings respect to those who have never been respected. The source of love is God. The beginning of love is God. And the end of love is God. It is only as he reigns in our hearts that his love will be revealed in our lives. Visit us at: TheSower.com

Wisconsin frac sand sites double
by Kate Prengaman Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism BLAIR - Behind a hill in rural Trempealeau County, farmland undergoes an industrial transformation. Outside this city of 1,300, Preferred Sands turns Wisconsin’s sandy soil into a hot commodity. A wall of green trees opens to a vast expanse of sand buzzing with activity. Excavators mine and conveyors carry the sand from towering stockpiles up into the processing plant. Every week, this facility ships 7,500 tons of sand by rail to oil and gas fields in Texas, North Dakota and Pennsylvania. This 400-acre mine and processing facility is one of 20 such operations that have sprung up in the past two years in Trempealeau County. The mines and processing plants produce strong, finegrained sand in high demand for a type of oil and natural gas drilling known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The number of Wisconsin frac sand mining operations has more than doubled in the past year, the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism found, and the state leads the nation in production. “We have the best sand in the world,” said Tom Woletz, the frac sand specialist at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. “And we have a lot of sand.” A year ago, the center, wisconsinwatch.org/2011/07/31/sand-miningsurges-in-wisconsin/, identified 41 facilities operating or proposed in the state. This summer, 87 are operating or under construction, with another 20 facilities in the proposal stage. “Our office has turned into a zoo,” said Kevin Lien, director of land management for Trempealeau County. “We have seven applications for mining permits in July. Everyone here is engulfed in mining. It’s a huge workload for us.” Frac sand fever has hit much of westcentral Wisconsin, catching residents and local governments by surprise. Permit applications have come in faster than residents or officials can process them, or the implications for their communities. The frac sand boom has divided residents into those who believe mining will create sorely needed jobs in rural Wisconsin and those who fear the impacts these mines may have on human health, road safety and the environment. Some communities have readily welcomed frac sand mining for economic reasons. Others, including Buffalo, Dunn, Eau Claire and Pepin counties and a handful of towns, slapped on temporary moratoriums to give them time to review and update their land-use regulations. The demand for sand has soared in tandem with the explosion in controversial hydraulic fracturing operations across the country. The sand is used to prop open fractures in the bedrock, allowing oil or natural gas to flow past. Frac sand production has increased sevenfold in the past decade, according to the United States Geological Survey. Thomas Dolley, a mineral commodity specialist at the USGS, said he can’t divulge state-specific numbers, but he confirmed that Wisconsin is currently the largest producer of frac sand. “It’s like a land rush for this material,” Dolley said. “I’ve been covering this commodity for 11 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this.” But Bruce Brown, senior geologist with the Wisconsin Geological Survey, agrees with other state officials that Wisconsin may be reaching the peak of the frac sand boom. “I think it’s going to slow down,” Brown said. “People worry that we’re going to sell out all of the sand in Wisconsin. That’s not going to happen.” The center found that about one-third of Wisconsin’s frac sand operations are in towns with no zoning regulations. In those areas, the only control local offi-

cials have is through the reclamation permit, which primarily deals with how the site will be returned to a productive land use, like agriculture or a park, after mining is complete. “If you don’t have zoning, it makes it very difficult to say no,” said Dan Masterpole, the conservationist for Chippewa County, where frac sand facilities are located primarily in unzoned towns. “We have no authority to regulate where (mining) should occur, operations, noise, air, dust or any of those type of nuisance-related impacts.” The DNR handles air and water regulations for all sites, zoned or not. Large mines and processing facilities must meet state air pollution limits for airborne particles, in part to reduce exposure to silica dust, a substance that can cause silicosis, a life-threatening lung disease. While silica exposure in the workplace is tightly regulated, there are no specific limits for silica dust in the open air. In January, the state Department of Natural Resources, dnr.wi.gov/topic/ Mines/documents/SilicaSandMiningFin al.pdf, decided that no additional regulations are needed. Since then there have been two damaging sand, spills, both in May, caused in part by failure to follow existing state rules, startribune.com/ local/158518655.html. At a Burnett County mine, a leak in a new storage pond poured silty water into the St. Croix River for days until a hiker noticed the problem. Shortly after Preferred Sands bought the mine in Blair from a Canadian company, a wet stockpile of sediment slipped and flooded a neighboring home. “We’ve had a huge amount of change since we had that spill,” said Todd Murchison, the regional manager for Minnesota-based Preferred Sands. “Every day, we have to leave everything so that it will be safe in case it rains 2 inches overnight.” Added Murchison, “We need this stuff, we need natural gas. We need energy independence, in my opinion. I think that the key is we’re going to do it, but let’s do it right.” In Gilmanton, a town of fewer than 500 people in Buffalo County, many lawns sport bright green signs proclaiming “Sand = Jobs.” About half the residents in attendance at a public hearing in June wore bright green shirts with the same slogan, provided by Glacier Sands, a mine operator applying for permits. Company co-owner Ryan Thomas said he plans to hire about 100 employees plus local contractors for electrical, welding and other services for the four mining, processing and loading sites his Menomonie-based company is planning for Buffalo County. For many residents, the promise of new jobs and new industry trumps all other concerns. Others worry about how mining could change west-central Wisconsin. Mike O’Connor, a Buffalo County resident, attended many meetings in the past year to voice his concerns about the frac sand industry, including increased heavy truck traffic on winding local roads. “Many of us are here for Aldo Leopold’s sand country,” O’Connor said, referring to the famous Wisconsin environmentalist. “This is a really spectacular piece of the world, so to have it ripped apart is kind of emotional. “But there is a pretty compelling story on the other side. It’s a very ambiguous issue which makes it emotionally very difficult.” Editor’a note: A longer version of this story, including an interactive map, can be found at our Web site at wcregisteronline. net.

chool funding, and specifically the July state equalization aid estimates, has recently been in the headlines around the state. So, I thought I’d talk some about that issue as it relates to Shell Lake School District. We have historically been what people refer to as a “property rich” school district. This means that we have an above-average amount of real estate property value for the number of students that we have. This has meant that we don’t get as much state aid as most districts in the state. This is not much different than most Northwest Wisconsin school districts. The lakefront property is very valuable, and there are not as many students per square mile as in other parts of the state. The initial July aid estimates show Shell Lake state aid going up over $464,000. The actual increase might not be quite that big, however, it will be close to that amount. That is an increase from $2,172,325 to $2,626,976. I, nor anybody else, can take credit for this increase. There are quite a few reasons for this change, but there are two major reasons. First, our student enrollment has slowly increased. The second significant factor is the property value in the district has gone down close to 6 percent over the past year. These two factors, working together, create a situation where the property value per pupil is considerably less than last year. This leaves us much less property rich than we used to be. This chart came off the
AUGUST 1, 2012 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 23
DPI Web site, and it shows how our property value per pupil has fluctuated the past 10 years. What this means for Shell Lake is a decrease in the mill rate. It does not mean we get $400,000 more money. We still have revenue caps and only so much money to spend. It means that within the revenue cap, $400,000 more of it will come from the state instead of local real estate taxes. Also, factoring into the mill rate decrease is the fact that the nonrecurring referendum also expires, decreasing our revenue by $450,000 from
last year. Preliminary mill rate calculations are estimating a probable decrease in the mill rate of about 1.25 mills, or in terms of dollars, $125 for each $100,000 of property value. As we get closer to the budget approval time of year, I will be talking much more about mill rates, debt service and school funding. We are looking into a revenue cap exemption for energy-efficiency improvements. If we decide to move forward with some of those items, the mill rate decrease might not be quite so significant. However, as
of now, any way it plays out, we will see a decrease in mill rate. ••• In other district happenings, the school buildings at Shell Lake have been very busy this past month. The second term of summer school ran July 9-20 with swimming lessons in the afternoon and classes in the morning. We had over 100 students signed up. Summer school is a very good way to slow down the summer regression that takes place with students. Summer school also helps to generate revenue for the schools that have it. One of my goals is to eventually have a much larger summer school program that is self-funded by the revenue it generates. ••• We are almost finished with the concession stand in the 3-12 building. I am very pleased with the way it fits in and looks like it belongs where it is and was not a last-minute add-on. It should prove to be a much better way for the volunteers to sell during athletic and community events. District funds purchased the materials, but no additional district staff was needed to build it, regular summer maintenance people got it done. ••• As always, feel free to call with questions, especially if you have any questions regarding the school funding I talked about.

Vanessa Warren has lived many places. “I am the oldest child of five children. My dad was in the Air Force, so I got to see a lot of the world. My mom was a stay-athome mom who liked to travel, so we went on a lot of day trips and camping. We lived in France, Germany and Japan. We lived in every state in the United States with a few exceptions. Those being Alaska, Hawaii and the northeastern states. Living in so many different places taught me how to make friends, be flexible and enjoy life and what it gives us. “I met my husband Jim on a blind date, and we have been blind ever since. We married in 1977 and had two boys, James and Patrick. We now have seven grandchildren who I adore with all my heart. I only get to see two of them on a regular basis, and I spend as much time with them as I can. We moved to Wisconsin in 1981 after Patrick was born. If you would have asked me when I was a kid if I would ever live in Wisconsin, I would have said ‘no way.’ I love living here now, but I do miss living out west occasionally. Vanessa Warren “I enjoy riding my motorcycle ... it is a peaceful thing. I have been working on getting back to a simpler way of life. This is why I started up my cleaning business again. This will give me some control over what I do. I enjoy making new friends as well as hanging out with my seasoned friends. I love the life that God has given me to live. If I was to die tomorrow, I would not have anything to complain about. I am the go-to person in my family. They think I have all the answers; boy do I have them fooled. I have taken care of my mom until she died and now I take care of my stepdad. “I have worked many interesting jobs since I moved to Wisconsin like milking cows for Willie Kauffman, driving school bus for Badger Buses, lawn care for Joe Santas Sr., Bernhard Woodworking, receptionist at Shell Lake clinic, receptionist for TLC, line locator and day-care provider, just to name a few.” Warren is thankful for God’s blessings on her life. “I have truly lived a blessed full life, with many ups and downs. I would not change anything about it.”
