NATIONWIDE — The National Day of Prayer is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the United States Congress, when people are asked to turn to God in prayer and meditation. A schedule of times for local prayer on Thursday, May 3, is 7-8 a.m. at the Cornerstone Church in Spooner; noon at Spooner City Hall and Shell Lake City Hall; and from 7-8 p.m. at the Lake Park Alliance Church in Shell Lake. Anyone that would like to attend at any of these times and locations is welcome. — with submitted information ••• MADISON - The Voter ID issue won’t likely be resolved before the recall election. Oral arguments are over in one of the four lawsuits challenging the state’s new voter ID law. But it’s unlikely any of the suits will be decided before the June 5 recall election. The new law was suspended last month when two Dane County judges issued injunctions against it. This week, Judge David Flanagan adjourned the bench trial in the challenge brought by the Milwaukee chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the immigrant advocacy group Voces de la Frontera. He ordered attorneys on both sides to submit written arguments by June 18. Assistant Attorney General Steve Means argued that UW political scientist Kenneth Meyer, who testified for the challengers, didn’t have the expertise to conclude that the new law would be a burden on hundreds of thousands of voters who lack photo IDs, “It’s our position professor Meyer is not a qualified expert on those topics, that those are legislative judgments, not judgments to be made by political science professors.” But Flanagan ruled that Meyer was qualified to perform the statistical analysis he presented calculating how many eligible voters would be affected by the law. Richard Saks, the attorney for the challengers, says that’s a key argument in the lawsuit, “It’s the number of people who are adversely affected and burdened by this law which Professor

Public forum comes in response to discovery of diseased deer near Shell Lake
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY DNR representatives hosted an informational public meeting on chronic wasting disease Monday, April 23, at the Spooner High School. Just over 100 people attended the meeting. Members of the public had the opportunity to learn more about the risks of the disease and to participate in a question/answer session. CWD was found in a whitetailed deer a mile west of Shell Lake off of Cadle Road, south of Little Long Lake on Nov. 19, 2011. The 3-1/2-year-old doe was showing clinical signs consistent with CWD - it was emaciated with its hair falling out.

The deer was lying down and could be walked up to and touched. Tests at the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and the National Veterinary Services Laboratories have confirmed this deer had CWD. The deer head was actually sent to be tested back in November but the testing didn’t occur until March, something the DNR admitted Monday evening it was not proud of. But steps to address the issue are being looked at and implemented and Monday’s meeting was aimed at involving the public through awareness.

Media and travel writers coming to Washburn County
WASHBURN COUNTY — Great news for Washburn County, the Wisconsin Indian Head Country Governor’s Fishing Opener is coming to Trego Lake on Friday, May 4, through Sunday. Washburn County requested the event back in 2009 and was put on the schedule for the 2012 event. The fishing opener brings with it key individuals in media, business and state government. This event was designed to highlight not only the fishing in the area, but also the accommodations, restaurants, businesses, natural beauty and the friendliness of the people in the community. Wisconsin Indian Head Country started this event in 1965 and is extremely important to tourism in Northwest Wisconsin. The fishing opener is
designed to showcase Northwest Wisconsin to media and travel writers so that they can encourage visitors to come to the area. Visitors to Washburn County in 2010 generated expenditures of over $58 million and brought in a total impact of $3 million in taxes and other fees for local government. This event brings media coverage to Washburn County, showcasing the area as a great destination to visit. Some of the best marketing comes from the media and travel writers, and officials are excited. If you see them out in Washburn County communities next weekend, please show them the friendly northwoods hospitality that the community is so well known for. — from Washburn County Tourism

by Gary King Register editor WASHBURN COUNTY - A 27-yearold rural Minong man faces criminal charges after allegedly assaulting and threatening to kill his mother in an incident that took place Saturday evening, April 21, at the mother’s home. Casey L. Satter was arrested while trying to escape to a wooded area near the residence as police, including a SWAT team, surrounding the house. According to a Washburn County Sheriff’s report, deputies responded to the home in the Town of Minong at approximatley 9:50 p.m. after they received a call reporting that a female was being assaulted, and the suspect was threatening to kill that person with a firearm. Deputies arrived at the home to learn that the 50-year-old female, the mother of the suspect, had escaped from her son but had sustained injuries to her face and torso from the assault. She told authorities that her son was still in the upper floor of the home and that he is extremely violent and that she believed he would kill law enforcement officers responding to the scene. The Washburn County Special Response Team was activated and a request was made for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department to dispatch their armored vehicle and their SWAT team to support the operation. Three female renters, on the bottom level of the home, were evacuated by officers, using the armored personnel vehicle and SWAT team members. Satter was taken into custody when he attempted to leave the building and escape to the woods. He was “ex-
CWD/from page 1 antlerless quotas recommended for this fall will not be changed with the discovery of this CWD-positive deer.
Will the deer feeding and baiting regulations change? Yes. According to the state statute the DNR is directed to prohibit the feeding and baiting of deer in any county that is within 10 miles of any captive or freeroaming deer that tests positive for either CWD or TB. This deer found in Washburn County is within the 10-mile radius of Barron, Burnett and Polk counties. The DNR is working to implement this ban soon. The purpose of this ban is to reduce the concentrations of deer feeding at one small spot which promotes the spread of any disease.

Audience members at the meeting Monday, April 23, had several questions CWD has never been shown to cause about the dangers, spreading and control of CWD. - Photo by Jessica Beecroft illness in humans.

Following the arrest, authorities found firearms and controlled substances in the home. Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden said when his department received the call, some of his deputies were already in the area, investigating an underground marijuana manufacturing operation located in the Town of Beaverbrook. Due to the urgency of both calls, Dryden said he was thankful for the emergency service partners for their assistance in bringing both cases to a “safe and successful conclusion.” They include Minong and Spooner police departments, Douglas County Sheriff’s Department, Douglas County SWAT, Minong Fire Department, Minong Ambulance, Washburn County SRT, Washburn County K9 Unit and other Washburn County deputies who took part in the operation. “The excellent working relationship between all these various organizations and the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office continues to ensure the safety and security of the residents of Washburn County,” he stated.

While landfilling is preferred, another option is to bury the carcass waste. It should be buried deep enough to prevent scavengers from digging it back up. This method effectively removes the waste from the open environment and, again, places a barrier between uninfected deer and the source of infection. This option may be more convenient for some people. As a last resort, and only on your own land, hunters can put the waste back on the landscape. This should be done as close to where the deer was harvested as possible.
Would you eat the deer you harvested this year? Answered by mediator, Mike Zeckmeister, of the DNR, “I would probably go ahead and eat the deer, but send it in for testing, and if it came back positive for CWD I would discard the rest of the meat.” Special harvesting The DNR will be allowing landowners within the two-mile radius of where the CWD-positive deer was found a special registration where they will be allowed to harvest deer. Also, if you see a diseased deer, you are able to harvest the deer, simply contact the DNR first. If you are out hunting this fall and come across a deer that seems sickly, you are asked to harvest the deer, tag the animal, and then contact the DNR for a replacement tag. Testing of all deer harvested in the area will be free of charge this year. If you are worried about a “trophy” buck’s head being taken, please be assured that the testing can be taken from the neck of the animal so you can keep the deer head. For more details, contact the Spooner DNR directly at 715-6354090. Those who see a sick deer are asked to call 888-936-7463.

Trojan horse
When the government decides that they know what is right and God’s word is wrong, then dictate moral issues to the church, it is evil. The church stands silent, allowing government to dictate what they can and should say, is evil. When the federal government forces the Catholic Church into submission by so-called medical dictates and the body of Christ fails to stand against this evil. Where is the outrage from pastors for this attack on God’s word? From the pulpit a chilling silence speaks for itself. At best a half-hearted prayer is raised up to God, but no standing up in our beliefs. It has been the same thing for these many years, prayer in school taken out, murdering babies, homosexuality, removing God from everything in our lives, and the church whimpers. Our government says nothing about
the murdering of Christians throughout the world in the name of Islam, and the Christian Church is silent. Our president encourages the overthrow of countries to allow the Muslim brotherhood to take over those countries, murdering hundreds of Christians. The president is encouraging class and race warfare in our country, and the church stands silent. The president and his department of justice have an agenda to destroy our Constitution and install a Marxist government. There is a Trojan horse in our country. If the pastors and those in the pews do nothing, allowing evil to win over good, our nation will be lost. God help us! Allan Heil Shell Lake

It was a decision to suffocate tourism
I am deeply saddened by the recent decision by the Washburn County Board denying short-term rental properties in residential areas. As a property manager in this county, I find this decision almost unbelievable. It will adversely affect me, as well as others, including the county itself. Potential renters of properties I manage undergo a rigorous screening. Rules of the lakes and properties are provided to the renting families, and they are required to follow them as terms of their contract. Property owners and managers utilize landscapers, dock installers, boat repair shops, plumbers, electricians, heating and air-conditioning specialists, snowplowing, painters, cleaners, etc., the list
is endless. Now, without rentals, I cannot send work to any of these people. This decision will also cause a loss of income to locals, grocery stores, antique stores, gas stations, marinas, restaurants, bars, golf courses and other businesses that have always relied on this income to survive. As a person that wants to keep Washburn County thriving economically, I believe this decision by the board is shortsighted and detrimental to our economic health and I urge the board to reconsider.

Area news
BALSAM LAKE — Each month for years on end, the agendas for meetings of the Polk County Board of Supervisors has included the item “Prayer,” followed by the name of a supervisor. On a rotating basis, each supervisor has had the opportunity to lead a prayer, moment of silence or reflection, as he or she felt appropriate. This month’s agenda, however, did not include that particular item, and the omission did not go unnoticed. At the beginning of the meeting, Supervisor Kristine Kremer-Hartung read a statement starting with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech …” Removing the opening prayer from the agenda, she said, “especially without board discussion, because of the threat of a lawsuit seems, in my understanding, to be in direct contradiction of that First Amendment.” Back in February 2011, the county received a letter from the Madison-based Freedom from Religion Foundation, denouncing the practice of opening the meetings with prayer “as unnecessary, inappropriate and divisive.” The letter concluded with a request that the board inform FFRF of the steps it will take to eliminate what it called a First Amendment violation. The key words Kremer-Hartung said are “freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.” She went on to say that the county board is a diverse group and having different supervisors lead an opening prayer each month helps board members know more about each individual’s beliefs and customs. “That does not mean we have the same beliefs and customs, but we respect that individual and those beliefs
and appreciate them for sharing some aspect of that belief with us.” Kremer-Hartung recommended that to avoid a lawsuit, the board institute “personal reflection” as an agenda item for each meeting. — from the Inter-County Leader ••• TOWN OF DOVRE— Three men are being held at the Barron County Jail in connection with an April 13 break-in at a Town of Dovre church. A vacant house located across the street from the church was also entered. Damage to the house was estimated at $50,000. James B. Rahn Jr., 18, Cumberland, Brandon S. Nickell, 20, Clear Lake, and Wesley K. Gallipo, Cumberland, were arrested after an employee for Dovre Lutheran Church, New Auburn, surprised the intruders in the act of burglarizing the church. — from the Barron News-Shield ••• CAMERON — When Cameron High School senior Kelsi Watters visited the homeless people living at Rice Lake’s Benjamin House, she met a young mother, helped her with her baby and got to know a homeless person a little better. “Benjamin House has a three-month program to help homeless people get back on their feet,” Watters said. Cameron students in the school’s National Honor Society chapter decided to donate to Benjamin House as they gathered food and cash, and built a homeless village outside the village police department on CTH SS for a sleepover. Students made their way through the village and collected groceries and cash donations. Students were involved with the homeless experience all day Friday, April 13, by toting their belonging to class on their backs or in shopping carts. — from the Barron News-Shield

Indianhead Medical Center for firstgraders from the Shell Lake Primary School. Peg Pockat organizes this event and depends on the volunteers of ICHC to help familiarize students with the various departments of the hospital. This year’s mini medics will be held Thursday, May 10. ICHC also partners with IMC to conduct concussion testing for high school athletes through the ImPACT program. ImPACT can be used as a baseline test before the athletic season starts. ImPACT is a computerized series of neurocognitive tests that help medical staff determine the severity of concussions and when it is safe for injured athletes to re-
turn to play. ICHC purchased the ImPACT testing currently being used by the Shell Lake School District, and IMC employees administer the initial baseline testing for all Shell Lake athletes. The Lifeline Program supported by ICHC enables people in the area to remain in their homes by providing a connection to immediate response in an emergency. IMC is the response center for this program. The Grocery Getters program delivers groceries to those that are unable to do their own shopping due to a medical condition or disability. Volunteers deliver groceries after the person places an order and pays for it at Dahlstroms Lake-
side Market in Shell Lake. ICHC volunteers also assist with the Red Cross blood drive held twice a year in Shell Lake. ICHC’s major fundraising is through the Lovelite Tree project. Lovelites are special, color-coordinated Christmas lights that are lit during the holiday season. White lights are in memory of a loved one, while colored lights are in honor of someone special. ICHC’s annual spring banquet is set for Monday, May 7, at Lakeview Bar and Grill in downtown Shell Lake. If you would like to become a part of ICHC please contact Gwen Bartholomew at 715-468-7833.

Register Memories
• The village of Shell Lake deeded the parcel of land known as the company pasture to the Shell Lake Public Schools for reforestation purposes. The plot of ground, comprising 90 acres, was probably one of the oldest clearings in Washburn County. When the Shell Lake Lumber Company opened up this section for logging, they utilized this pasture for the summering of their horses and oxen. • Rose Ann Christianson and Joan Stegeman were selected to appear on the “Phillips 66 Junior Talent Parade.” The program was recorded in Minneapolis, Minn., and was broadcast over WCCO. • Returning lettermen for the Shell Lake baseball team were Denny Dahl, Ronny Masterjohn, Jim Masterjohn, Warren Livingston, Pete Quam, Jerry Chopp and Neal Rydberg. Newcomers were Ray Domagala, Eddie Allen, Ray Miller, Calvin Chopp, Harlan Smith, Gary Sauer, Gordon Kruger, Jerry Johnson, Marvin Schaefer and Dale and Jerry Lindemann. • The water level of Shell Lake was higher than it had been for probably 40 years. The runoff into the lake over the spring was very heavy, and coupled with the excess rainfall the summer before, the water seemed to have not only held its own during the winter months but had even risen to higher levels. Rud Dahl, who had been watching the water levels with interest for many years, claimed that when the new shelter house was built, it was 74 paces from the water’s edge, and that it was now only 24.
1962 - 50 years ago
• Mr. and Mrs. Walter Krueger, Sarona, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with an open house at their home. • Mrs. Laurence Stegeman, Shell Lake, announced she would be a candidate for the office of county sheriff. Mrs. Stegeman had assisted her husband during his years in office. Officer Stegeman was not eligible to run as the law in Wisconsin at that time stated that a sheriff could not serve for more than two consecutive terms.

PAGE 6 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - APRIL 25, 2012
SPOONER — The Washburn County Area Humane Society, located in Spooner, is once again raising funds to help with medical costs and also to bring awareness as to why pets should be altered. Betsy, a name given by the society, came to WCAHS as a stray on March 26. Betsy was very dirty, skinny and pregnant. Not knowing anything about her or when she would be due to deliver, she was taken to the Spooner Vet Clinic to be examined. After doing an X-ray Dr. Helen Szalajka determined there were at least five puppies. The expected delivery date would be within a couple of weeks. What was discovered during her exam was that it appeared Betsy might have had a Caesarean section at some point before. “With this information we were told to possibly expect some complications with her delivery,” stated Penny Dunn, WCAHS manager. “So as the time got closer we kept a close watch on Betsy, taking her temperature twice a day.” An animal’s temperature will drop a number of degrees within 48 hours of delivery. On April 10, Betsy’s temp was down and she was acting very different. “We knew we were close! That night I came to check on her around 1 a.m. and found she was trying to deliver her first pup,” explained Dunn. As expected, Betsy was having problems. For over an hour she tried to deliver her first pup and when nothing seemed to be progressing, Dunn called Dr. Kim Ammann, the on-call doctor at Spooner Vet that night. It was decided Betsy was not going to be able to do this on her own so the decision was made to meet at the clinic for an emergency C-section. On the way to the clinic, Betsy finally delivered the puppy she had been trying so hard to have for close to two hours. Her first pup was born in the back of Dunn’s vehicle. “As I rushed her inside she was caring for her first pup as any mama dog will do, but sadly it had been too much for the little

Betsy is shown with her new litter of puppies, Shannon, Kim, Helen and Max. — Photos submitted puppy and it did not survive,” commented Dunn. By 2:30 a.m., Dr. Ammann, C.V.T. Shannon Kirkwood and Dunn were ready to welcome Betsy’s babies into the world. This would be the last time Betsy would ever have to go through this as she would be spayed after her pups were born. Shortly after being prepped for surgery, Betsy had four puppies, three females and one male. After getting Betsy and her babies all cleaned up and checked to be sure all were doing fine, Betsy, her babies and Dunn headed back to the shelter to get them settled in. Shelter employee Kim Adams also got an early 4 a.m. wake-up call to meet Dunn at the shelter to help set up a kennel and settle the new little family in.
There was some concern with Betsy’s behavior after the first puppy was born so it was recommended that she be monitored for a while to be sure she would care for her newborns properly. “I knew then I was going to be spending some time in the kennel with Betsy. I have to say that the blankets laid on the kennel floors for the dogs keep them very comfortable, but I can’t say, after laying with Betsy, that it would be my choice of places to sleep,” exclaimed Dunn. Betsy has proven to be a wonderful, loving mother and is taking great care of her pups. Shannon, Kim, Helen and Max are all doing great. The girls were named after the two doctors and certified vet technician that cared for Betsy and the only boy was named after a brave and wonderful dog that had to be euthanized at the shelter recently due to cancer. Max the pit bull was a shelter resident for almost two months. “He was loved by the shelter staff and will be buried in the pet cemetery on the shelter grounds. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions in the past week at WCAHS,” stated Max, a pit bull at Dunn. “We all witnessed the first the WCAHS shelter, and last breaths of life.” was recently eutha- Needless to say, Betsy’s surgery nized due to can- was another unexpected expense cer. for the shelter. If you would like to make a donation to help cover the cost of her surgery, you can send it to WCAHS, 1400 Cottonwood Ave., Spooner WI 54801. You can also visit their Web site at www.wcahs.com and see the very first pictures of Betsy’s family and how they are doing now. The staff at WCAHS would like to remind everyone to spay and neuter your pets to avoid unwanted litters and health issues.

This is National Crime Victims Rights Week
NATIONWIDE – April 22-28, is National Crime Victims Rights Week. Throughout the week, there will be many presentations and conferences held all over the nation, speaking out about victims rights and what we can all do to help support victims and their rights. In such a small rural community, it’s sometimes difficult to bolster support and enthusiasm for any cause. Busy lives can have the appearance of indifference in the eyes of many organizers and advocates, but certainly, no one is indifferent to the suffering of crime victims. On Wednesday, April 25, one crime in particular is in the spotlight. Sexual assault is a devastating crime that often goes unreported, and therefore unnoticed. Victims of sexual assault are in great need of support during a time in their lives when they feel most alone. Whether you or someone you know has been the victim of an assault or not, it’s important that the victims, speaking out or suffering in silence, know that the community they live in is behind them. Denim Day has been celebrated nationally since 1999
I
in protest of an Italian Supreme Court ruling that overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans at the time of the assault. On Wednesday, April 25, please wear denim to show your support of sexual assault victims, and to dispel any harmful myths about sexual violence and survivors. If you’d like to take your show of support even further, please join the community by participating in the Denim Day Awareness Walk, at 4:45 p.m., starting in the parking lot across from the Northwest Sports Complex in Spooner. This will be a 15-20 minute walk, and teal ribbons will be provided to all participants. Bring your families. Bring your friends. Help support and show appreciation for the courage and strength of all victims and survivors of sexual assault. If you would like more information or if you need help, please call the Time-Out Family Abuse Shelter at 715-6355245 or the crisis line at 800-924-0556. — from Washburn County Victim/Witness Coordinator
Plarn
f you had asked my husband what he did over the weekend, you would probably laugh and ask him to explain if his reply was, “Making plarn for Suzie.” Yes, I put Milt to work making a ball of plarn for me after friend Roxanne e-mailed me asking if I made dish scrubbies. She was familiar with scrubbies crocheted out of tulle. I told her that I was a knitter rather than one that crochets. She e-mailed me a link to the popular networking site Pinterest, which had an idea for knitting scrubbies out of plarn. What is plarn? Plarn is the result of cutting plastic grocery bags into 1-inch strips to use in knitting. With the strips Milt cut for me, I used a dishcloth pattern to knit a scrubbie. The process used to tie the strips of the plastic bag together was the same method I had
seen for using old T-shirts to knit into rugs. I remember as a kid our neighbors, Marion and Stella Smith, braiding discarded bread bags to make plastic rugs. While visiting with an elderly lady several years ago, she shared how her mother took in sewing to help make ends meet during the Depression. The mother had used the last of her thread while remaking an old coat into something else and ended up using strands of her long hair to sew the garment rather than traditional thread. I guess it is safe to say that recycling isn’t a new concept. For many it has always been a way of life.

May opportunities at Hunt Hill
SHELL LAKE — Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona invites community volunteers to help open camp on Saturday, May 5. The day begins at 8:30 a.m. in the dining hall and ends as jobs finish up, generally by midafternoon. Volunteers are needed to help clean, organize, wash, wipe and rake around camp to open it for the season. All ages and skill levels are invited. Volunteers are treated to a free continental breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Please call ahead if you’d like free overnight accommodations for Friday or Saturday nights. Hunt Hill is excited to announce their first-annual Prairie Fling Festival on Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m.4 p.m. The public is invited to enjoy this daylong event and fundraiser which will feature live music, local artisan booths, a children’s activity area, community booths, educational programming, nature activities, food and much more. If you are a community group, musician or artisan interested in being a part of Prairie Fling, contact Hunt Hill to learn more. The Prairie Fling evening dinner and barn dance will
be held from 6-10 p.m. on May 12. The dinner and dance tradition is probably as old as dancing itself. What better way to catch up with your neighbors, meet new friends, court a beau or renew romance? Hunt Hill honors that tradition, capping their Prairie Fling Festival with a gourmand’s dream dinner, presenting locally produced, fresh foods in the nostalgic dining hall of Hunt Hill’s historic cedar barn, followed by a dance. Steeped in living tradition, Duck for the Oyster is renowned for revitalizing the reel, contra, square, circle, international and couple figures the people of this country have been dancing for more than 200 years. The dances are simple, easy for all ages to learn and outrageously fun to do, especially when combined with the driving rhythms of the Duck for the Oyster Band. Don’t miss this exciting finale to the Prairie Fling. Call 715-635-6543 or go online to www.hunthill.org to make dinner/dance reservations, or just come to the dance, as well as for any other information on events at Hunt Hill. — from Hunt Hill

Historical society elects officers
by Rod Ripley SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County Historical Society elected officers at its annual meeting Thursday, April 19. Elected to serve a three-year term were Marguerite Kevan, Robert Washkuhn, Cathy Wahlstrom and Myrna Atkinson. Holdover board members are Elmer Anderson Jr., Shelley Fox, Marian Furchtenicht, Robert Lampman, Curtis Atkinson, Joyce Ripley, Mary Olsen, Rose Mangelsen and Rod Ripley. The new board re-elected Rod Ripley as president; Joyce Ripley as vice president and Wahlstrom as secretary/treasurer for the following term ending April 2013. Tim Brabec will serve as liaison with the Washburn County Board. Agenda items included the purchase of a newer microfiche reader/printer, which is connected to the computer and Internet. This purchase was made possible by a generous donation from the late Jane Winton estate. The society plans on contacting the state historical society to obtain copies of newspaper and other microfiche, which the society does not have at present. The society also has recently purchased a wand scanner to aid in scanning newspapers and other documents. A digital recorder was also purchased to aid in collecting oral histories. The society is now connected to the Internet and is capable of sending out the information via the computer. Sharon Tarr reported on the status of Volume V of the Historical Collections. She plans on having the book ready for printing this fall. It has been 18 years since Volume IV was published in 1994. Fox reported on the St. Croix Heritage Area meeting held at Spooner on Wednesday, April 18. There was much interest, and because of the history of our area going back to the 1660s, the possibility of expanding the area to the Chippewa River for inclusion of Courte Oreille and its early history and north to Madeline Island and the Duluth area. The society was initially organized in 1949 at the Tadpole School House. Under the auspices of the late Judge Ward Winton, the society was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1954. Since that time, when the judge only had a small office as a work space and the members used their time and energy collecting the oral histories of the original settlers of Washburn County, the society now enjoys, thanks to the efforts of many past members, a five-building complex in Shell Lake and a building in Springbrook. The Shell Lake facility consists of a church, parsonage, schoolhouse, skywatch building and the newest – the Hewitt Building. The museums house not only many interesting artifacts used by our parents and grandparents, but also many family histories and stories. It is also interesting how many people who once lived in Washburn County have spread throughout the world. The society has received inquiries from Vienna to New Zealand. The products of the Shell Lake Boat Company still arouse interest. Guy Hagerty of Virginia wanted to know the history of his beautiful canoe as did John Gebhardt of Annapolis about his refurbished Deluxe boat, which he hopes to sail on Chesapeake Bay.

WITC adds new programs
SHELL LAKE — With the addition of health information technology and medical office specialist, Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College continues its commitment to providing career-focused training. Health information technology Employment opportunities in the health-care industry are projected to grow faster than average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That remains true despite the sluggish economy and job losses in other sectors. WITC will offer health information technology at each of its four campuses. “People who prefer to be ‘behind the scenes’ will be more interested in the health information technology program,” said Kate Siegler, dean of allied health. “They will be able to code records for reimbursement, research and statistics and gather health information for multiple purposes. This is a growing career with a wide variety of opportunities.” Career paths for graduates of this associate degree include work as a health information technician, reimbursement coordinator, privacy and/or security officer, and data quality and integrity monitor. A medical coding specialist diploma will be embedded into the HIT program. This will allow students to earn a diploma after one year and enter the workforce while they continue the final year of the program to earn the associate degree. The program is also ideal for those currently working in medical and clinical offices
who would like to advance in the field. Medical office specialist Offered at all WITC campuses, this technical diploma combines medical office skills with computer skills to prepare graduates of the program for employment on the administrative side of health care working in physician’s offices, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes and other health organizations. “This program is a good option for people who are looking at the medical field, but want to work in an office or customer-service capacity rather than in a lab,” says Leslie Bleskachek, WITC academic dean, business division. Graduates of this program can grow their technical diploma into the medical administrative specialist associate degree offered through WITC’s New Richmond and Rice Lake campuses. The medical office specialist technical diploma combines medical office skills with computer skills to prepare graduates for employment on the administrative side of health care working in physician’s offices, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes and other health organizations. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment related to this field is expected to increase by 11 percent through 2018. For more in-depth information contact a WITC admissions advisor, call 800-243-WITC or visit witc.edu/ programs. — from WITC
School libraries to share in Common School Fund payments
MADISON — Public school districts throughout the state will share $32.5 million in library aid from the Common School Fund, the only state aid specifically designated for the purchase of materials for school libraries. Aid is based on the number of children between the ages of 4 and 20 living in each school district. This year’s school library aid payment was $26.54 per child for 1,224,689 children counted in the 2010-11 school census. Funding is down by $1.1 million from last year, resulting in a 75-cent-per-child lower payment. The census total was down by 6,514 children as well. Districts must use Common School Fund library aid by June 30 for the purchase of books, media materials or computer equipment that is housed in the school library. Shell Lake School District’s share is $19,585. Area schools to receive payments are Spooner $50,156, Siren
Lake Mall Shell Lake, WI 54871 www.lakeinsagency.com
$15,445, Northwood $11,676, Cumberland $32,190, Frederic $19,213, Grantsburg $28,873, Hayward $70,165, Luck $18,178, Clayton $13,136, Clear Lake $24,441 and Turtle Lake $15,896. “At a time when public education has suffered some of the largest funding cuts in our state’s history, the Common School Fund has never been more important to our public school libraries,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers. “The school library is an essential resource that helps our students develop important skills. Aid from the Common School Fund is often the only funding school libraries receive to purchase new materials.” The Common School Fund was established by Article X of the state Constitution as a permanent school trust fund. A majority of the fund’s principal is invested in loans to municipalities and school districts through the State Trust Fund Loan Program. This program provides loans for projects that include school repairs and improvements, local infrastructure and economic development, as well as capital equipment and vehicle purchases. Funds distributed as library aid consist primarily of interest that is generated from those loans. — from Wisconsin DPI

Agriculture in the frozen north
by Diane Dryden SPOONER — Sixty-one years after Wisconsin became a state, the newspaper dateline read Dec. 3, 1909. That’s when the authorities at the Wisconsin State University in Madison decided to locate an experimental farm in Spooner where the soils were light and the winters were severe. Spooner agreed, and donated 80 acres of the sandy loam stuff east of town on Hwy. 70. An additional 80 acres that adjoined the original parcel were purchased from Mabel Dodge in 1911. In 1931 the final adjoining parcel was purchased from J.D. Thomas. The result is the current size of 388 acres for this venture that would generate many changes in agriculture for the northern tier of Wisconsin. The first project was corn growing in the north. Created first was a northern Wisconsin open-pollinated dent corn, then oats and soon soybeans, followed by the inbreeding of corn in 1923. As the years progressed, the farm, which became a station, supervised the production and processing of foundation seed stocks and the use of irrigation on farm crops. In 1936, the station began pioneering research in the dairy sheep industry and by 1995, with 300 animals, the sheep station became and remains the definitive source for dairy sheep information in the country. The sheep produce an income from the sale of the milk for cheese and lambs for market. This completes the circle by paying the employees wages for milking the sheep twice a day. UW-Madison opened a Pandora’s box of crop research when they opened the station 103 years ago. It was first a trial to raise potatoes, wheat, oats and barSee Ag Station, page 20

Double sweep for the week
by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE – With an 11-9 win over Siren/Webster on Tuesday, April 17, and an 18-1 win over conference rivals Northwood on Thursday, April 19, the Shell Lake baseball team advanced their record to 5-3. Shell Lake took an early lead against Siren/Webster in the top of the first inning only to give up the lead in the bottom of the inning. Siren/Webster scored four runs before Laker pitcher Darren Sahlstrom found his groove and retired the side. It remained a close game until Shell Lake’s Sam Livingston ignited the team, stealing second, third and finally home to bring Shell Lake within one run of tying the game. Jesse Gronning scored the tying run and Tyler Kozial the go-ahead run. Shell Lake led 9-8 going into the bottom of the sev-

They will host Cameron for their second matchup of the season on Monday, April 30. Birchwood is 0-2 for the season, Cameron is 3-3.

6-0 start for the softball team
by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake girls softball team, with their 6-0 overall record, is off to their best start in recent years. It had been a big week for the team as they improved their record and built confidence. Shell Lake traveled to Siren to play Webster/Siren in a nonconference game on Tuesday, April 17. The girls came away with a 21-0 win after jumping out to a 6-0 lead in the first inning. It was a game where everything went good for the Lakers and nothing went right for Webster/Siren. Shell Lake hosted the Northwood Evergreens Thursday, April 19, in a conference showdown. The two teams were close in the standings. Northwood had only one loss and Shell Lake was undefeated. Shell Lake scored first in the first inning when Erica Kozial scored on a wild pitch. Kaylee Kidder added a run in the second inning on a Katie Gronning RBI. Shell Lake stranded two runners on base with some very good pitching from Northwood pitcher Teagan Haring. Shell Lake pitcher Kristen Kraetke, who faced only 14 batters in four innings, got into trouble in the fifth as she gave up three runs on four hits. The inning ended with a fly ball to center fielder Gronning. It was now Northwood 3 and Shell Lake 2 as the Lakers batted in the bottom of the sixth. Hailey Flach scored to tie the game up at 3-3. Kayla Blazer came across the plate on a wild pitch and Shell Lake added two more when Kraetke and Allison Socha scored. Northwood came to bat in the top of the seventh inning and failed to get the ball out of the infield as the Laker defense played their game. The 6-3 win was a big win in that Shell Lake had beaten both Cameron and now Northwood, two teams that have dominated the Central Lakeland Conference for many years. Shell Lake will host Birchwood on Thursday, April 26, St. Croix Falls on Friday, April 27, and a conference game with Cameron on Monday, April 30.

Hunters safety LEFT: The final step in their hunters safety course is the range day evaluation. Students must show what they have learned in the classroom. Gene Quam is being evaluated by Rob Gothblad about the correct procedure for crossing a fence. What is the correct way to cross a fence with a loaded gun? Trick question. There is no correct way to cross a fence with a loaded gun. You should unload before crossing. RIGHT: Nikki Everroad is one of the growing number of girls taking hunters safety. She represents the future of hunting. She plans to hunt and enjoy the outdoors with her grandfather, Allen. — Photos by Larry Samson

LOTS OF STUFF!
Come Check It Out!
It’s time for the martins to return. I’ve been waiting and watching for them. Last year, they were here on April 24. They eat on the fly, so those gnats, mosquitoes and other flying insects have to be here too for their food supply. I was cleaning up my e-mails finally and found deep in the heap that Dennis and Rosie Boland had returned after spending the winter at their vacation home in Forseth, Mo., and report a great winter there except the scare of the Feb. 29 tornado that hit the Branson area only one-half mile from their retirement community. Otherwise, they enjoyed many hours of great fishing, their daily walks and fun times with friends there. Nineteen members attended the Washburn County Historical Society meeting in Shell Lake on Thursday evening. Same officers were re-elected. Sharon Tarr was invited to come and show how the Volume 5 edition of Washburn County History was coming along. It will be ready for print by fall. Jim and Nancy Swanson spent Saturday becoming certified in adult vision screening for the Lions. They are already certified to screen children but wanted the adult certification to be ready for the October Health Fair in Shell Lake. Mickey Rummel called on horseshoes that will be starting in May. He reports his dad has been at Terraceview Living Center for the past couple of months and is doing fine. Troop 51 Boy Scouts that Casey Furchtenicht is in went canoeing on Little Long
Lake Friday evening after school. Some of them helped decorate for prom. Saturday morning, the troop picked up the food bags for the food pantry. Roger went with Casey to do that. It was the Shell Lake prom on Saturday night with gals all bubbling and beautiful in their gowns and those handsome guys in their dress attire. Congrats to Casey Furchtenicht who was chosen prom king and Chloe Wykel the queen. Others from Sarona way attending that I saw were Tia Halverson, Sabrina Skindzelewski, Stevie Frey and his date, Stephanie Stetler; also grandson Brian Marschall and date Jade LaFave. Sunday supper guests at Pat and Laurie Frey’s were her dad, Ken Harmon and brother Kenny of Spooner. Laurie reports her dad is doing OK now after having a stent put in for blockage. The surgery was recently done in Duluth, Minn. Sue Krantz made a fresh rhubarb pie for her dad, Hugh Smith. It was for his 84th birthday. Sue and her brother, Bill, visited Sunday on his special day. Belated wishes, Hugh. McLane and Chane Hutton were in Hixton with their mom, Ericka, on the weekend. Whitetail Ridge Campground has turned on the water and is opened for campers, so they are coming in. Cindy Samson, a friend of Pam’s, came up and spent the day Monday with Mavis Schlapper. Her other visitors this week were Bev Helmer, Mary Mancl and See Sarona, page 16

by Mary B. Olsen Have you noticed how people seem to have lost their sense of humor and go around with their faces set in frowns? Maybe we need to cheer up. These days I try to look for humor in the usual suspected places. That would be on the radio, in movies and on television. To tell you the truth, there is very little humor in the media. True, you can find some of the old TV sitcoms, if they are available to you, and many of them are humorous. There used to be songs that made us laugh. When I was growing up we had songs that lifted our spirits we heard on radio and almost everybody was humming along. I can’t help feeling nostalgic as I recall some of those comical songs. Some of the folks my age may remember songs like “Chewing Gum on the Bedpost Every Night.” There was a record that was very popular that had only the sounds of people laughing. You couldn’t keep yourself from laughing when you listened to it. I know there were many songs that came from the old stage shows that were not suitable for young people to hear. They wouldn’t have been on the radio. Many folk songs had a limited audience in those days, and there were always some funny songs. Our family heard the “WLS Barn Dance” and a lot of other people listened and sang their songs. Maybe not a comedy song, but a memorable one, was “Jeepers, Creepers.” It was a Johnny Mercer song with music by Harry Warren that came out in 1938. It asked the question, “Where’d ya get those eyes?” It was a fun song. Remember “Mairzy Doats”? This song was a hit on the popular charts and children everywhere sang it. The song was written by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston in 1943. It was a nonsense song, you might say. The Merry Macs recorded it on Decca. They say the idea for the song came from the 4-year-old daughter of Milton Drake, who had been singing the sounds and slurring the words of a song. “Mairzy Doats” meant “mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn‘t you?” The song, at its peak, sold 30,000 copies of sheet music a day. Even during the dark days of the Depression and while the events of World War II were heard on the radio and in newsreels at the movies, we had songs that cheered us up. The comedians entertained us with jokes and lifted our spirits. Bob Hope signed off with, “Thanks for the Memories.” Whenever we were feeling low, we could take a dose of popular music and feel a little better. We had songs from Western movies and Broadway. The Tin Pan Alley songs and the artists of the
time really did perk up our spirits. In the years after the war, radio kept America singing. We had jukeboxes, and you could slip a nickel in the slot and hear your favorite song. Arthur Godfrey came out with “Too Fat Polka” on a Columbia recording. It was written by Ross MacLean and Arthur Richardson in 1947. The words went, “I don’t want her, you can have her...” Why? “She’s too fat for me.” Not a very friendly song but one that everybody was singing. Insults were always a part of humor, and they ran along ethnic lines. They usually poked fun at someone at the expense of another. Stand-up comics were guilty of this, but, in those days, there never was the kind of insulting humor we have now on our television. Late-night television was suggestive, but not vulgar. “I’m My Own Grandpa,” a really funny song, was a fantastic hit. The song was written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe and performed by Lonzo and Oscar in 1947. The song tells of the combination of marriages in which a man marries and becomes a stepfather and is married to his own stepmother and becomes his own grandfather. It was a tremendous hit. One of the original performers recently remarked that when he received his royalty check and looked at the amount he thought he was looking at his Social Security number. Grandpa Jones sang it on the “Hee Haw” TV show. At about the same time, a song named “Civilization” was popular. “Bongo, bongo, bongo, I don’t want to leave the jungle...” were part of the lyrics. The words and music were by Bob Hilliard and Carl Sigman, in 1947. The Mills Brothers recorded it on Decca, and another recording was done by Danny Kaye and the Andrews Sisters, also on Decca. Maybe it was not meant to cheer people up, but it was a novelty song with that quality. There may be songs that can elevate our moods now but they seem to have all but disappeared from our media. Some of us can return to those fun songs of long ago, at least in our memories.

myself. Pam came up on Saturday. Late Tuesday noon, the morning bowling league held their banquet at Lakeview in Shell Lake. We had a great meal and got awards. A meeting was also held. The same officers were elected. They are Mary Marschall, secretary/treasurer; Karen Holzem, president; and Gina Ailport, sergeant of arms. It was a fun day.

This time it falls early in the month, so it’s May 1. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht and son Craig and Sarah Jammé ate out at Bona Casa in Cumberland Saturday night to celebrate Craig’s 28th birthday. Corey Furchtenicht went to Marshfield on Friday and took his written pilot test, doing well with only one wrong out of lots of questions. Al and Jolene Loew went to Villa Park, Ill., to see a foot doctor, on Monday. Al was having problems and has been wearing a boot. So hope all goes well with him. Sunday, Virginia Stodola and Eunice Hillested had dinner and visited Virginia’s cousin, Carmilla Johnson, in Haugen. Virginia also had a visitor at her house Sunday evening. A bear was in her yard. She just tapped on the window, and the bear looked up and kept walk-
ing down the driveway. Elaine Ryan’s daughter, Nicki, husband Shane Baker and sons Byron, Henry and Andrew, had supper at Rock and Elaine’s Sunday evening. Rock enjoyed giving the little boys rides on the four-wheeler. Talked to Marion Foged. She says she’s fine, does a lot of reading and enjoys living by the lake and will call me if she has news. Says she doesn’t do much. Mary Krantz, Shell Lake, was a Friday afternoon coffee visitor at my house. This week the farmers will be heading for the fields as it’s getting about time to plant corn. But the oak leaves aren’t the size of squirrels ears yet, that’s what oldtimers went by, so it’s plenty early.

Starting a new week, and so far it is sunny but still not too warm. I’m sure the sun will come out later this afternoon. Shell Lake had their prom Saturday night. I’m not sure what the theme was, but I think it was Hawaiian. Congratulations to the king and queen. The queen is Chloé Wykel who works here at Glenview as does her mom, Tracey. It’s always an exciting time for the youth and parents. Casey Furchtenicht was chosen king. Roger Flach has been a patient in Eau Claire undergoing treatment. He came home on Sunday. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Roger and Mavis. Louise Schade was up for the weekend visiting her relatives. On Saturday night, Margaret Jones enter-
tained Frank, Louisa, Florence and Lillian, serving a barbecue dinner at her home. It sounds good. Judy and Myron Bolterman were in Eau Claire shopping and met Myron’s sister, Arveen, and Roy of Trempeleau. They ate together at the Hu Hot Restaurant. Pastor Don West of Salem Church visited residents at Terriceview Living Center and Glenview on Friday. Gina White and friend Nick of Stillwater, Minn., took Helen V. Pederson to dinner on Sunday, along with Jeff. Before lunch we went to Jared and Rachel’s home to visit and see my great-grandchildren. They were excited to show us their twin lambs that were born on Saturday and up jumping around. Rachel had just returned from Watford, N.D., where Jared is employed at the oil field. Tooker and Sue Weathers just returned from Florida after visiting Tooker’s parents. They found them well. Happy birthday on April 25 to my brother, Milton Odden, of Rice Lake. I hope it was a good one. Saturday was a big day at Glenview. The Camera Club of Shell Lake/Spooner was here to take pictures of the tenants and their family if they so wished. Wendell Turpin of Whiting, Ind., is up working on the interior of his house. Jeff has been helping him. They had supper with Sue and Ken Pederson Saturday night. Youth is a gift of nature. Age is a work of art. Have a good week.

were pumping liquid manure into a tank a few days ago. During a lull in the conversation, Duane noticed that a clamp on one of the hoses was loose and wiggling. Fearing that it would come off, he reached over to try to tighten it just as it let go. Well, you can imagine. Duane got the brunt of the shower, but Greg, Jim and Kenny also got their share. They managed to get it stopped right away, thank goodness. After they cleaned themselves up as much as possible, Duane lit a cigarette and told the others that it tasted like — ummm — poop. I guess he should know. On that happy note I think I will quit for this week. I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and that we’ll see you at the garage sale.

than that to dumb Devon down. I wonder why God gave us wisdom teeth. I think just about everyone has to have them pulled, don’t they? Richard Pieper and Delores Schultz are getting a new home, and they are very excited about it. It’s only about two blocks from where they are now living in Barron, but it’s all one story so they won’t have to go up and down stairs. And, it’s a single family home instead of an apartment. They are really looking forward to having the place all to themselves. They should be moving in some time this week. Lynn Thon will be celebrating one of those annoying birthdays that end in a zero on Monday, April 30. We hope she has an absolutely fabulous day.

You realize of course, that if the guys won you would never have heard about it. Anitia said that Ken seems to be feeling much better now. Do you remember the old song, “Showers of Blessings?” This next story is the perfect example of what is not a shower of blessings. Duane, Greg, Jim, and Kenny

The time for the huge Barronett garage sale is here! It’s this Saturday, April 28, at the Barronett Community Center, from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. See the ad located elsewhere in this paper. There is always something for everyone. And, after you pick up the things you absolutely need here for a very reasonable price, you can go to Cumberland for the garage sale at the senior citizens center. Make it a fun family day. There will be things for kids, dishes and stuff for ladies, and tools for guys. See you there. Saturday, May 5, is the plant and bake sale at Wiesner Chapel. That will be from 8 a.m.-noon. They have all kinds of perennials, and the prices are very low. Keep that in mind too, because it’s the perfect place to pick up all kinds of plants. Citizens of Barronett are always on the go. The following would come under the you-can-run-but-youcan’t-hide category. Mary Pat was at the Twin Cities airport on April 12 to catch a flight to Portland, Ore., to see her daughter. She had no sooner walked into the airport when she ran into Shirley and Merl Overvig, who were flying down to North Carolina. After chatting with them for a bit she continued on to the area where she would board. There she found Jim and Donna Sparish, who were on the same flight as Mary Pat, but getting off in a different state to attend a wedding. It’s a small world, and getting smaller all the time. The reason Merl and Shirley were going to Ashville, N.C., was to pick up Shirley’s son, Ben’s, car. He wanted to sell it, and Merl’s son, Eric, wanted to buy it. Shirley said that flying down and driving back is the perfect way to travel. They had time to do a lot of sightseeing on the way home. While they were in Ashville they went to see the arboretum. They also went to a farmers market and to a store called the Chocolate Fetish. According to the LA Times, the Chocolate Fetish has the best truffles in the country. They have won awards for their chocolates. Shirley said that she had to have one of everything. They brought some back, but didn’t tell anyone about that until after they had eaten the last one. Hmmm. I can’t complain though, they brought me back black walnuts from the farmers market, and I’ve already used some of them in a cake. They traveled on the Blue Ridge Parkway for about 100 miles. Shirley said that there were such spectacular views that they stopped quite a few times, so it took a lot longer to travel 100 miles than it normally would. They stopped by Linville Falls and took a nice hike. They stayed in Boon, N.C., the first night. The next day they went to Dayton, Ohio, and toured the U.S. Air Force Museum, which takes you from the Wright Brothers all the way up to today. Dick Grover used to fly in the C-124, so they took pictures of that plane to bring back to him. The C-124 has been replaced by the C-5 Galaxy, and, when Shirley was in the service, she flew in that. They thoroughly enjoyed the museum. On Tuesday they stopped in Fond du Lac to see her aunt, Rosie. Aunt Rosie thinks Merl walks on water because he put a new faucet in for her. Easily impressed, I guess. That evening Merl and Shirley played a few games of sheepshead with Aunt Rosie and her friend, Ray. They came back north the next day, delivered the car, picked up Sport (the dog) and came home. Sport had a wonderful vacation while they were gone. He was treated like visiting royalty by grandson Drake and son-in-law Rick. On the day that they were coming to pick him up, Rick took Sport to the beach for one last run. Sport’s going to miss them. You know how I’m always bragging about how smart and wonderful the kids in Barronett are? Well, Devon Snowbank told me that she might not be as wise anymore after Tuesday. She is getting all four wisdom teeth pulled. Nothing to worry about. It’d take a lot more

As yet the Minnesota stadium hasn’t been approved. It seems the Vikings are threatening to pull out of Minnesota. We find out from Jim Toll that Turner Moe went to the Shell Lake junior prom with Allysha Feeney on Saturday night. They both had a great time and went to Barron for a lock-in where they had lots of entertainment, including the pool. They made it home at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday. You’re only young once! Jim Toll says he is starting to do spring field work. His cousin Gayle (Swan) and her hubby, Jack Kallenbach, have a son about 50 years old and it was found he has cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kallenbach family. Gayle and Jack are graduates of Shell Lake High School. Good news to report. Doug and Karen Vanderhoof are now in their new barn as of April 10. Karen just loves it. She tells me if anyone would like to come and watch them milk they milk from about 6:30-9 a.m. She milks 90-plus cows. So go and have a good look. Sunday the Vanderhoofs went to Amery to the Cash Vanderhoof’s where they had a birthday party for a great niece. April 10, Sunshine and I bought our

farm, which is now 40 years ago. April 27, we signed for the farm. It’s been a joyride ever since! Did I say joyride? April 13 found four ladies including Loretta VanSelus going by car to Monee, Ill., to Rudy and Marjean Fisher’s and son Edmond’s. Saturday the ladies were at Ladies Day at the Olivett Nazarene University for speeches, singing and a comedian. Loretta says it was great and about 1,600 women attended. All enjoyed lunch. This Sunday at church they did a lot of singing and a puppet show followed by a potluck dinner. Marv Knoop, our Dewey Country rain man, tells us so far in April we have 25/8 inches of rain. That’s good. Carl Meister was at Sacred Heart Hospital about two weeks and while there he had open-heart surgery. At this time he is home but doesn’t really care for food. Cards would be appreciated. His address is Carl Meister, 23125 Town Hall Road, Shell Lake, WI 54871. I know he will be in the house for quite some time and Carl and his wife, Betty, would appreciate cards. Their daughter, Bev Cassellius, who is a registered nurse, is spending the week with Carl and Betty. Sunday was Family Prayer Sunday at Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s with Robin Melton, Vicki and Don Trott, Peggy Vesta, Don Lake, Bridgett Hartl and Kayla and Ty. All enjoyed a potluck dinner. See on TV that Hibbing, Minn., got up to 6 inches of snow. News from the Fjelstad Palace finds Monday Kris and seven other Red Hat ladies enjoyed lunch at Nick’s Restaurant in Spooner. Bob visited Marv Knoop and Greg Dorweiler visited Bob and Kris. Tuesday Bob and Kris were in Eau Claire for appointments and while there they visited Bob’s sister, Nancy Leasott and also Phil Deede while Rose Deede was in the hospital getting two units of blood after chemo. Cheri, Tyler and Emily Dorweiler visited Bob and Kris. Wednesday Bob visited Elmer Talbert. Thursday Bob visited Marv Knoop and Elmer Talbert. Later, Cheri, Tyler and Emily Dorweiler visited Kris. Saturday Bob visited Gary and Sue Peterson and Kris went to Eau Claire, meeting up with sisters Kitty Strassman and Pat Kage and going to Wausau for the 50th birthday party for their cousin, Sheila Wirig.

Please keep Sandy and Bernard in your special thoughts and prayers. The Clam River Tuesday Club gals have been taking supper over to Sandy and Bernard. Isn’t it wonderful these gals think of someone less fortunate? Bernard went to Bar-H and said he had a very good lunch and won a ceramic water sprinkler. Good for you, Bernard.
Table Talk: What is one thing in your life that nobody else has? All about Rory. Last Saturday, I called my sister, Dot Gudlin, to let her know about our brother, Carl Meister. Well, I guess it must have gotten boring for Rory. He dug all the grandkids’ little toys out, including a pull toy, which he was pullin’ around. It was so cute to watch him and he was tellin’ me “enough is enough” talkin’ on the phone. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

SPOONER — Spooner Health System has been recognized by the American Tissue Services Foundation for its 2011 efforts to provide families with donation options and information. According to ATSF area manager Greg Kinblom, Spooner Health System achieved a 43-percent tissue donation rate in 2011. This means that tissue was recovered on 43 percent of the medical center’s eligible donors, which is a 5.4percent increase over 2010. Gifts of tissue, which include bone, skin, heart valves, connective tissue and veins, are used in more than 1 million surgeries routinely performed each year in the United States. “Many more people are eligible tissue donors than they are organ donors,” Kinblom says. Organ donation usually takes place when brain death has occurred, and transplants must be performed within a short time afterward. Tissue can be recovered within 12 to 24 hours of death and preserved for later use. “Through its dedication and focus on increasing donation, Spooner Health System has made a tremendous difference in the lives of others,” Kinblom says. “Donated tissue gifts save lives, as well as increase strength, mobility and independence for many, many patients.” The staff of SHS were recognized in April by ATSF for their accomplishments. They received a Tissue Donation Recognition Award and Certificate along

A
famous clown had a personal life that was full of tragedy and tears. But no one in his audience ever knew it. He always smiled and made others laugh. One day he was asked, “How can you act so happy?” Vitelli answered, “When I smile, it makes me feel less sad. When the audience smiles and laughs, it helps me to forget my problems, and I feel happier.” When you give a smile, you get one in return. Others feel better, and so do you. It’s like honey – you can pass it around, but some sticks to you. So smile! The Bible says, “A cheerful heart is good medicine.” Visit us at: TheSower.com.

Ag Station/from page 11 ley. It continued on to new ethanol crops like switchgrass, and their latest experiment involving wine grapes. For years, this northern arm of the university remained a mystery to the local residents due to the very nature of their work. Once the UW-Extension department came into the mix, things began to change. In 1999 and then again in 2004, agents Kevin Schoessow, the horticulture man, pronounced Shesso, and Richard Wiegand, whom everyone calls by his middle name of Otto, the ag agent that covers animals, soils and farm financial management, began to actively change the face of the station. “I had a mentor in the horticulture part of my job,” says Schoessow, “and his name was Bob Tomesh. He was from Madison and his attitude on a plant’s hardiness was to ‘take ‘em to Spooner and see if we can kill ‘em.’ Not only was he a horticulture specialist, but he was also a principle investor, which meant he had a financial stake in the results from the station’s findings.” Each year, each of the nine station managers were required to plot out the planting scheme of the acreage using his list of groups who want their plants or crops tested. Shell Lake’s Phil Holman has held the position of manager since 2003 and according to the map with this article; you can see there are many individual areas that are planted to various crops for research. Each of these areas is paid for by the PIs. That money goes into paying the staff of a dozen employees, several on an LTE basis. Schoessow’s job is to provide a horticulture outreach for both home and commercial growing endeavors. This includes direct marketing of products. He also began teaching a Master Gardener class. The class was popular and many of the almost-certified gardeners looked to him to help them complete their studies along with 20-some hours of public service. It wasn’t long before Schoessow and the Master Gardeners had carved out a 50’x60’ display garden on Orchard Drive just across the street from the sheep station. Schoessow calls the garden an ideal outdoor classroom. This part of the station was originally used for crop studies. It had as many rocks removed as they could find. Now that it was to be a display garden, several of the very large rocks were once again returned to the plot. Eventually a professional garden scheme was put into place, including pathways, plantings, a covered bench and just recently a windmill. The windmill pumps water from the ground into the water tank located near the compost piles north of the gardens. This enables the water to trickle down through the drip irrigation system that has been set up throughout the plantings. Each year the Master Gardeners hold a plant sale to help fund the elaborate gardens. This year the sale will be held Saturday, May 19, 8 a.m., at the farm. The money they raise goes into a fund for future projects and plant purchases. Last year over 600 tomato plants, many of which were heirlooms, were sold. They also sold over 100 peppers and 600 perennials along with 1,000 annuals. Funds have also been shared with area schools to start new school gardens or help with the established ones. In 2008, the recently formed Wisconsin Grape Growers Association, through UW-Madison and UWExtension, planted a vineyard near the original potato cellar northwest of the main building. Here, a dozen varieties with a dozen plants in each are randomly planted to test the hardiness of the plant, their production of grapes and the taste of the product. The vines were planted with four of the same variety in a row, another row at a different end, and the final four

COOK
Indianhead Medical Center, a 25-bed critical access hospital in Shell Lake, is seeking a cook for casual-time coverage in its Dietary Department. This position will work an average of 36 hours in a 2-week pay period. Most shifts are during the day (6 a.m. - 2 p.m.) with some evening shifts (2 - 6:30 p.m.). Hours include every other weekend.
The display garden at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station is a true feather in the Master Gardeners cap, with its plantings along with the new windmill, compost system, water tower, shed and greenhouse. — Photos by Diane Dryden in a row at the other end of the vineyard. Results are then tallied using all the grapes of the same kind. “So far,” says Schoessow, “our area isn’t doing as well as the two other places in the state. But then we’re not necessarily a fruit area. We have many soil types and lots of frost pockets. We do well with cranberries and it looks like blueberries might be a successful crop here. We’ve already got several growers and there are three or four more who have put in commercial blueberries.” The building might look archaic and unfriendly, but it’s a beehive of activity along with the display gardens. Every third Tuesday, starting in June, the gardens will be open for informal garden walks. Tuesday, Aug. 21, is the popular Twilight Garden Tour with speakers, displays and refreshments. It’s the Master Gardeners who write the booklets found in the mailbox at the entrance of the fenced garden, listing what’s new this year and what didn’t work so well last year. It’s also the gardeners who plant, weed and harvest the vegetables so they can be distributed to the food shelves in the area as well as the senior centers. If you’d like more information about the UW-Extension agents and how they can help you, call the station at 715-635-3506. Make an appointment as these two guys spend a lot of time out of the office and literally in the field.
Deer trustee meets with hunters in Hayward, talks CWD
by Rich Kremer Wisconsin Public Radio HAYWARD - Chronic wasting disease was a hot topic in Hayward Wednesday night, April 18, during a town hall meeting with the state’s deer trustee. The man known as Dr. Deer says the DNR is responding to the recent discovery of CWD near Shell Lake the right way. Around 100 hunters from across northern Wisconsin filled the bleachers in a dimly lit Hayward Middle School gym. They were there to see Dr. James Kroll, a nationally recognized white-tailed deer expert who was appointed by Gov. Walker to improve the Department of Natural Resources management of deer. Kroll has been hosting these town halls across the state, but the Hayward meeting is the closest to the Shell Lake area, where a sickly dear was found with chronic wasting disease. But Kroll says he’s optimistic about how

the DNR is handling the newest outbreak, “This new deer that we found in the north, they’re going about it the right way. I was critical of Mount Horeb, but I’m telling you they’re doing it right now.” Kroll says instead of killing large numbers of deer the DNR is now creating a zone and studying whether the disease is spreading beyond its boundaries. Mark Rasmussen traveled to the meeting from Shell Lake, where CWD was found. He says ending feed piles for deer will curb the disease, “I believe baiting should be banned statewide, and I guess I feel that the new CWD issue in Shell Lake is a concern, and I look forward to getting more information about it.” There was over an hour’s worth of comments from hunters at the town hall meeting in Hayward, which Kroll says will be part of his final report to Walker. The report is due by July 1.

Nancy Plunkett grew up in Barron. She lived about a block away from the park and she spent a lot of her childhood there. “Growing up my parents always had big meals around the table,” she noted. “We had so much fun. We had a dog named ‘Lucky.’ We even had a pet pig named ‘Pinky’ that we used to let run around the big yard and we’d laugh and laugh.” Her father was an electrician and her mother stayed home with the kids and worked at Zimmer’s for a couple of years. Her parents divorced when she was still young, and she was raised mostly by her mother. “When I was visiting my father in Michigan, I remember going outside and picking cherries from the tree and going inside and making my first cherry pie.” When she was 18 years old she moved to Rockford, Ill. Nancy Plunkett “I never finished high school because I wanted to go to work and be on my own. I did get a GED years later. I married at age 19. I was divorced in the ‘60s and raised the children myself. I moved from Rockford and lived around the area, and then I moved to Hudson.” It wasn’t always easy, but Plunkett raised her six children herself and worked to support them. Working since she was 16, she has had a lot of experience, from seamstress work, to drive-in waitressing and even working as a tailor. Plunkett worked as home manager at a halfway house, she has done factory work, including working at 3M, she was a seamstress at JoAnn Fabrics, sewed custom-made drapes for Herberger’s and Bergner’s in Rice Lake and also worked as a seamstress for Bergner’s. “I used to make custom-made drapes for a few places, actually,” Plunkett said. Now she enjoys gardening and sewing quilts in her spare time. She likes to visit the children and grandchildren and often enjoys trips to the Twin Cities.

Shell Lake fourth-grade students spent a March day in the school forest studying the natural world. These students found and learned from this snake that was basking on the trail in the warm sun.

Man hospitalized after hitting tree On Friday, April 13, at 7:15 p.m., Duane A. Wells, 25, Rice Lake, was westbound on Hwy. 48, one-tenth mile west of Tamarack Lane in Birchwood when he crossed the center lane, went across the roadway and into the ditch, striking a tree. The truck rotated 90 degrees and slammed into another tree. Wells was conscious but didn’t know what had happened. It is believed that he may have fallen asleep. A witness was about half a mile away and told the responding officer what she had witnessed. Another passerby stopped and cut Wells, who was having difficulty breathing, out of the seat belt and out of the vehicle. Wells was transported via Birchwood ambulance. He was cited for operating left of center and no valid driver’s license. – Photo from Washburn County Sheriff’s Dept.
