by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – According to Lynn Hoeppner, Washburn County clerk, the recount of votes cast by county voters in the state Supreme Court race is complete. “It was a wash” said Hoeppner, “No increase for either candidate in the Supreme Court race was awarded. Each candidate has lost two votes, so it stays the same.” When the county has a recount, the municipalities start turning to absentee ballots. The recount cost the county $2,500. According to Hoeppner, “When the county does a recount, as required by the state statute, the county starts with a draw-down where they start going through the absentee ballots. When there is a blank ballot, those come out first from the draw.” In the case of Washburn County, five ballots had to be drawn out. One of the ballots was blank, so a total of four other ballots had to be taken out of the (Supreme Court absentee ballot) votes by random. The ballots are put into a bag and drawn. “The sad thing is, it’s not necessarily the vote they cast that is taken out," Hoeppner said. The person that perhaps didn’t sign, for instance, is not a legal ballot, but there is no way for them to know how the absentee ballot was cast at this point and that is why they are randomly drawn out from a bag of absentee ballots.

Citizens pressure county to take action on zoning issue
Private home advertised as weekly rental violates residential zoning law, say neighbors
by Jessica Beecroft LONG LAKE – The owner of a home listed on the Internet as a weekly rental property is in violation of the law as the property it is located on is currently zoned residential, not commercial, say adjoining property owners. Kevin Von Feldt lives right next door to the home that is a three-bedroom, two-bath cabin being used solely as a rental property for as little as three days per stay, he says. He says it’s not a home being rented out for long term, but one being advertised as a vacation rental. The homeowners, he notes, do not live there. Long Bear Addition is a subdivision on Long Lake that was established approximately 50 years ago. It’s zoned rural residential, meaning property there should be used for residential use only and not for business use. The property in question is advertised as “Big Bear on Little Bear Road” (www.vrbo.com/324869). The listing states it can accommodate as many as 14 people.

Many of the property owners in the neighborhood have attempted to get county officials to enforce the zoning laws, but apparently to no avail. A petition is now being circulated to ask the county zoning board to investigate the situation and enforce the current laws. Legal action against the county is also being discussed. Zoning Administrator Web Macomber submitted both a statement and a letter (see page 4) to the Register, stating that the county’s zoning committee - his “boss” has never interpreted ordinance language to find that the county “should be involved in the rental home business.” “It’s a shame when things like this happen,” Macomber said. “One person finds out something, gets half of the facts and the misinformation spreads. Soon it becomes a feeding frenzy and opinions can never be changed. The ordinance and relevant inter-
pretations are in place, and I can’t arbitrarily just ‘decide’ to change the way we look at rental properties. If I did that, the frenzy would be a lot bigger than this one.” Macomber said the rental issue will be revisited when the county amends the zoning code. He gave no date as to when that will occur.
Demands made of county Von Feldt has submitted a letter on behalf of himself and 14 other property owners on the same street demanding that the county: 1. Issue a cease and desist order based on the ongoing advertisments at www.vrbo.com; 2. Seek injunctive relief prohibiting the property owners from advertising their resort, “Big Bear on Little Bear”;

Hanging baskets for Main Street
by Wanda Zeug SHELL LAKE — Tucked inside the cozy greenhouse at Bashaw Valley Greenhouse are hanging baskets for Main Street, slowly growing into the masses of flowers that will bring color and summer to Shell Lake. Linda Degner planted the seeds in February, the tiny plants were put into 4-inch pots in March and finally the well-rooted plants into baskets this April. The Degners have been providing the baskets for Shell Lake since the idea was first conceived by Diane Ericksen. Ericksen had asked at city hall what they planned to hang on the newly installed lampposts, and when told baskets of artificial flowers, Ericksen then organized fundraisers to provide real flowers. Degner’s recipe for the baskets is a mixture of ivy geranium, supetunia, scaveola, bacopa, lovularia and osteo plants. This year, the Shell Lake Lions Club is teaming up with the city to raise the funds for the flowers. People may purchase a full basket ($60) or half-basket ($30) in memory of or in honor of a special person. Posters will be placed downtown to list those memorialized and honored. Donations are tax deductible and need

Fish stories
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Everyone has a good fish story. The regular inland season for game fish opened statewide on Saturday, May 7. According to the Wisconsin DNR, walleye fishing across the state is usually good as walleye begin to feed heavily after spawning. The start of the regular trout-fishing season is a great time to get out on your favorite stream or explore new ones. Most of the stocked trout lakes and spring ponds should provide some excellent fishing for openingweekend anglers. Crappie, bluegill and perch become more active in shallow, warm bays of lakes. Northern pike are more active after their spring spawning. Bass fishing in the northern zone is catch and release through June 19. The northern musky zone does not open until May 23. White bass runs on several rivers provide great fishing opportunities early in the season and can happen
anytime from late April to early June, depending on water conditions. One of the popular Washburn County fishing spots is the Minong Flowage. The Minong Flowage is a fertile, 1,564acre, multispecies impoundment. According to Larry Dammon, fisheries biologist in Spooner, walleye is the primary species with adult population estimates of 5.5 per acre in 2010. Fifty-four percent of adults were longer than the 15-inch limit. The adult population was down some from seven per acre in 2005. However, an exceptionally large year class in 2005 will be legal size, boosting harvest opportunities for the 2011 season. The Minong Flowage has a county campground with a boat landing, fishing pier and sand swimming beach. Eurasian milfoil is present so the public is asked to make sure to clean their boats of aquatic hitchhikers before they leave.

Donations needed for relief efforts
by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – Bill Taubman, Lions Club member, has contacted several people nationwide in efforts to help bring relief to persons affected by the tornados in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Tuscaloosa saw numerous twisters including one massive funnel cloud with a base a mile wide. Taubman has contacted factories that are partnering to supply cleaning supplies, paper products and mattresses. The University of Wisconsin – Madison, is also donating 90 mattresses to the efforts. Taubman plans on leaving for Tuscaloosa on Memorial

3. Issue an order prohibiting the acceptance of any new bookings or deposits for their resort; 4. Issue an order requiring the property owners to cancel all current bookings. “Please advise if you intend on enforcing the zoning regulation as you are required to do,” the letter states. “A conditional use permit is no longer an option available to the (property owners). If you fail to do so, we will initiate an action for relief, damages and costs including a possible ex-rel action.”
Retired zoning chair comments Ed O’Lund, retired zoning commission chair in Washburn County, is one of the neighbors affected by this zoning violation. O’Lund and his wife, Marion, are upset that the zoning committee and the zoning administrator are not doing their jobs. O’Lund said that he believes the zoning committee is misinformed. “This is zoned residential. There is a county ordinance that regulates this zoning. The state level is separate and is done if it is zoned for a resort.” Marion said, “If he has two, three people in the yard until 2:30 in the morning around the campfire and Kevin’s wife has to work early in the morning, it really effects them.” She added, “A resort owner on the lake is just as upset as us because she has to pay sales tax, follow all the rules in regulations of a resort, has to pay several fees all year to maintain resort status, has to have septics checked all the time, and these people come buy homes, have no permits and no one is regulating them.” Von Feldt said he’s raising a family and is not happy about the home next door being used for people on vacation year-round. He said the property values will also decrease with this violation of zoning. “The idea of having mulitple strangers coming in here hits a nerve.” He said it brings up the fact that he has moved here from Los Angeles, Calif., to raise his family in a peaceful, safe area.
Day weekend. The Lions Club is looking for donations to bring to Alabama. Specific items needed are monetary donations, furniture, paper products, diapers and cleaning supplies. Taubman points out that the local charities in Alabama stated they are not in need of clothing at this time. The Lions Club will be hauling trailers full of all the donations they can. If you have some good quality furniture or any other donation, please contact Taubman directly at 715-468-2910.
Job description The group of neighbors said that according to the Washburn County Zoning administrator’s job description, duties include overseeing the administration of county zoning, shore land, floodplain, mining, sanitary and subdivision ordinances. “We go to the zoning office and ask them to do their job and we’ve been told that the zoning committee has decided that the zoning regulations need updating, so they’re not going to be enforcing them,” said Jill Keefer, homeowner next to the home made into a resort. “Our concern is not that they don’t have permits, our concern is that we don’t want him to have any permits, because they are not permitable in a residential area in the first place. And our individual deeds even say no businesses.” Even though the deed is not a county issue, it is another violation of the current property owners, Keefer said.
Recent ruling The state Court of Appeals for the Third District recently established that single-family residences rented on a short-term basis (rentals of duration less than one month) are resorts. The case was Polk County v. Robert Bloomer, et al, Case No. 2004FO1138. The court gave special attention to the advertisement that the Polk County property owner was using online, including: fishing boats for rent and a variety of recreational activities available at the lodge, and the fact that your stay comes with satellite TV, stereo, VCR, a fully furnished kitchen and linens for 11 friends and family members. The Big Bear at Little Bear four-page Web site is almost identical in description. This is not the first time the zoning office has received complaints about this issue, Keefer noted. O’Lund agreed. “We are not an isolated group,” he said.

No county board meeting for May
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – The executive committee met on Monday, May 9, in Shell Lake. The executive committee has decided to not have a county board meeting for the month of May. No urgent issues needed to be brought to the county board, so the next county board meeting will be held June 21. The executive committee also denied a
claim from the Town of Minong. The Town of Minong had paid the county about $6,000 for a comprehensive plan that was never obtained according to the complaint. The Washburn County legal counsel, Jeff Kohler, advised the committee that the time for them to file the claim is already passed. Therefore, the Town of Minong will receive notice that the claim is being denied by the county.
by Suzanne Johnson SHELL LAKE — President Kathy Dahlstrom presided over the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday, May 5, held in the council chambers at city hall. The chamber is involved with several ventures at this time that include donating toward the courtesy dock, billboard and signage for the downtown, compiling a business directory, co-sponsoring the July 3 street dance, as well as Town and Country Days. Volunteers are needed to assist with these projects. Ken Schultz, representing the Economic Development Corporation, mentioned the gathering of information on buildings in Shell Lake to be able to offer more in-depth characteristics of a structure for those that may show an interest in a building. He also commented on the progress for the courtesy dock stating that funds still need to be raised to complete the project. The dock will be available for those that boat in and go to the downtown area. Some of the slips on the dock will be rented out to campers from the campground. A permit for the project has been applied for. Corrine Hill gave an update on the Easter egg hunt reporting that two big prizes were given away in each division, which included cubby cars, tricycles or bicycles. New this year was the giving
away of a $50 savings bond. Other prizes donated by area businesses were also given out in addition to candy. Jack Dahlstrom reported that the nine new 6-foot and two 4-foot benches along with eight 50-gallon refuse containers would soon be in place throughout the downtown. Local favorite Jack White’s new band, Tammy and the Bad Boyfriend Band, has been hired for the July 3 street dance, cosponsored by the lakefront committee, Klopp’s Fifth Avenue Bar, Lakeview Bar and Grill and the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce. Donations are being sought to provide the fireworks show that Shell Lake has become known for during their Independence Day celebration held July 3. The Miss Shell Lake contest will be held, Friday, Sept. 2, during the Town and Country Days celebration held Labor Day weekend. A new Web site, www.shelllakewi.com, is being developed for the chamber and the city of Shell Lake. Providing a diving tower/raft for older swimmers at the Shell Lake beach was discussed. The next chamber meeting will be held Thursday, June 2, 4:30 p.m., at city hall.

Letters to the editor
ObamaCare effect on Medicare
Why has there been so little discussion about the effects of the recently passed health-care legislation on Medicare? There has been much discussion from pundits and from letters to the editor about the Republican (Paul Ryan) plan to revamp Medicare, most of which has been distorted with suggestions that it is mean-spirited and that sick seniors will soon be out on the streets. Those expressing such views want to compare the Republican proposal to the present system, which they must think ObamaCare will preserve. The new health-care law, however, has eviscerated the current Medicare program. Among other things ObamaCare will reduce funding to Medicare over the next 10 years by $575 billion and use this reduction to fund a vast expansion of Medicaid and a new middle-class entitlement. In addition, ObamaCare establishes a 15-person board, The Independent Payment Advisory Board,
appointed by the president. This board is charged with holding Medicare spending increases to certain limits. At first the limits would be the rate of inflation and after 2018 a more stringent limit of the increase of GDP per capita plus 1 percent. These limits are much stricter than the government-supported premium payment increases, which would be allowed under the Ryan Plan. Ryan has been criticized for not allowing premium support payments to increase at the rate of inflation of health-care costs. The law is written so that the board has really only one option in dealing with spiraling costs; that is to lower payments to doctors, hospitals and other service providers. Medicare itself says 15 percent of hospitals will go out of business under this system. Neither the Congress nor the courts will have much control over this board. I believe Congress has basically conceded control to the board to shield
themselves from the outrage of seniors when they can’t find or receive care. The Ryan proposal only affects those citizens that turn 65 in the year 2022 and in years thereafter. It is intended to bend the cost curve of health care down using market incentives. It is intended to let seniors decide which plans and coverages to purchase. ObamaCare insists that a panel of 15 experts will know what is best for the people at large. Your freedom to choose will be stripped away. Those who oppose the Ryan Plan should come up with their own proposal that would tame inflating health-care costs, provide adequate benefits and save the system for future seniors. They should abandon the notion that President Obama has protected Medicare. Medicare as we have known it is gone.
At the most recent Washburn County Board meeting on Monday, April 11, there was a presentation by Myron Schuster and Rick Roeser of Northwest Regional Planning Commission. Their presentation was primarily concerned with economic development in this county. After the presentation, a motion was made to withdraw from Northwest Regional Planning Commission effective Jan. 1, 2012. Twelve members of the board voted not to withdraw from regional planning. That means that our board voted to pay $25,000 of your hardearned dollars for nothing. The taxpayers in Washburn County will continue to belong to Northwest Regional Planning for a membership fee of $25,000 for one year. Any service that they provide will be extra. This is the same Regional Planning
Commission that was paid $220,000 by Washburn County (again your money) to develop a plan, called Smart Growth or Comprehensive Planning for the county. In addition, each township was to pay $6,000 because they were told the plan was mandated by the state of Wisconsin.* Many towns eventually decided to withdraw from the plan which would have controlled land use and many other areas, which affect our lives. That plan was the one that you voted on in a referendum on April 1, 2008, with a final vote of Yes 1,240 and No 1,633. To the members of the board, why would you vote to spend hard-earned taxpayer money for nothing? There is at least one member on the board who promised to vote against Smart Growth for a vote to regain a seat on the board. Now he has voted to give the same people $25,000 for a membership. Why?
What to do: If your county board member has voted for that $25,000 membership, call him or her, and ask why. What is Northwest Regional Planning going to bring to us this time, and how much will it cost?
During the May 6 budget debate, Rep. Rivard emphasized that both the cause and solution to Wisconsin’s fiscal and social problems involve the application of ethics. He explained that his generation had been taught personal responsibility, but the current response to that observation implies that too many see personal responsibility as dirty words. Many in the audience agreed and were bewildered by the hypocrisy from those who wag their fingers at people who, they believe, make poor personal choices from eating the wrong foods and driving the wrong cars to becoming wealthy in professions other than the arts or athletics. Many voters believe that Democrats
sanctimoniously tax and fine these citizens into submission. Forcing conformity and equalizing fortunes by law is legalized plunder and destroys the economic security of a person and a state. Gov. Walker’s budget attempts to remedy this situation. Rivard explained that solutions to the problems facing Wisconsin rest with citizens making ethical choices that contribute to their personal success. Rivard’s respect for the talents and skills of citizens is a relief from the attitude of legislators who deny the importance of individual ambition by insisting the government provide for citizens who they believe are incapable of independence. Rivard discouraged needless depend-
ence upon government because it indentures people to legislators and assaults human dignity. Accusations that conservatives ignore the truly needy, the handicapped, the mentally ill or the aged are insulting and not true. Rather than filibustering and reading numbers, which could be easily challenged or slinging insults at voters who financially support governmental institutions that are entrusted to advocate for all citizens, Rivard offered practical solutions.

That’s not what we were told
James Lewis Shell Lake
*FYI According to the March 2011 issue of Wisconsin Towns Association magazine, ‘Towns that do not have zoning, platting or official mapping ordinances are not required to have a town comprehensive plan.” Also, “It is not clear at this time whether a town under county zoning must also have a comprehensive plan.” That’s not what we were told, is it?

Zoning issue
I would like to comment on the letter from Jill Keefer in last week’s issue. The crisis at hand deals with a homeowner who wishes to rent their dwelling on a weekly basis for vacation use. The home is in the Little Bear subdivision in the Town of Long Lake. The residents of the subdivision are predictably upset and have been in contact with me and other Washburn County officials. I have been accused by Keefer and others of “refusing to enforce the zoning ordinance to prevent a business from operating in a residentially zoned area.” Wow, pretty strong stuff! I have been advised many times to not take citizen comments personally, and I am usually successful in that effort. This time though, the tone, tactics and threats coming from residents of the subdivision challenge my 30 years of maintaining the “public is always right” demeanor. With all due respect to Keefer and others, I ask, do you really think that I even have the ability to function independently and simply decide not to enforce the zoning code? If I really believed that, I would not be here. I work for a committee made up of county board supervisors who dictate and create policy and law. My job is to carry out that policy and administer the law. The zoning committee, my boss, has never interpreted ordinance language to find that we should be involved in the rental home business. That decision was publically affirmed as recently as March of this year, with the added note to revisit the rental issue when we amend the zoning code. Private homes have been rented out in this county by the hundreds each year, under the regulatory authority of the Department of Health and Family Services, a state health agency. Unruly renters have been dealt with by the sheriff’s department. My department was downsized again this year, leaving the job of zoning enforcement even more difficult. Since this issue seems to have become person-directed, I personally would rather focus on catching people who build without permits or clear all of the natural vegetation and push dirt into the lake. That just happens to be what my committee wants me to do as well. Web Macomber zoning administrator Washburn County Shell Lake

New Paradigm Partners working toward making Washburn County summer festivals safer
WASHBURN COUNTY — Summer in Washburn County means inner-tubing down the Namekagon River, tanning on the beach in Shell Lake and … attending an abundance of tourist and familyfriendly summer festivals. Though we all love them – the pony rides, the deep-fried cheese curds and the live music – the festivals are not problem free. “Data from focus group studies show that it is very easy for underage drinkers to obtain alcohol at these festivals,” says Sherry Timmerman Goodpaster of New Paradigm Partners, a nonprofit consortium of rural schools. “Impaired driving is also an issue with the easy access and consumption patterns typical of festivals.” This is why NPP, through the Rural CODE Coalition, is focusing on making our summer festivals safer and more fun for everybody. Dennis Stuart, Minong police chief, is a part of the NPP effort to improve our summer festivals. “Our main objective,” says Stuart, “Is to discourage underage drinking. Our intent is certainly not to make this into a dry community.” Stuart emphasizes the need for change but he and NPP want to work together with festival organizers and find out how to best go about reaching the goal of curbing underage drinking. NPP has a number of plans to achieve their goals, all of which were arrived at by looking carefully at research, and implementing focus group studies. One plan is to offer free servers training the night before a festival to all who are going to be serving alcohol at the event. Stuart will be one of the people

training servers. Timmerman Goodpaster explains that servers training is one of the most important tools for positive change. Servers will learn to limit the number of drinks sold at one time, recognize underage drinkers — through, for example, plastic wrist bands, find out about liability in cases of overserving, and much more. Festival organizers will also be encouraged to have fenced-in areas designated for alcohol, and they will be educated in the financial benefits of cleaning up the festivals. “Families spend more money than beer drinkers,” Stuart said. “And families don’t want to bring their kids to a place where there are a lot of intoxicated people.”
Some festivals, like the Washburn County Fair, are entirely alcohol free, says John Morris of the Washburn County Fair board. Morris says that the Washburn County Fair, which this year celebrates its 100th year, has never served alcohol. They believe that, “not selling alcohol helps maintain the family-friendly nature of the fair.” Timmerman Goodpaster says a “report card” will be issued to the festival organizers after each festival. This is part of a larger coordinated effort with coalitions from the five neighboring counties. All festivals from the region will be checked for age identification practices, fencing and limits on purchases at one time. No festival will be singled out and reports of all the festivals will be pro-
vided to area newspapers.

A few of the fun Washburn County summer and fall festivals are: Spooner Rodeo, July 7-9; Birchwood Bluegill Festival, July 15-17; Washburn County Fair, July 28-31; Spooner Jackpine Savage Days, Aug. 4-7; Minong Summer Days, Aug. 11-14; Shell Lake Town and Country Days, Sept. 2-4; Barronett Colorfest Fall Festival, Sept. 16-18; and Stone Lake Cranberry Fest, Oct. 1. — from NPP
Thursday, April 14 Keith J. Kyncl, 68, Spooner, was on his fourwheel ATV when he crashed into several trees at 3:53 p.m. on Roadhouse Road, just off of Hwy. 63 in Spooner. Kyncl had just been released from the hospital, and it is believed a disability causing loss of control may have been the cause for the accident. No injuries were reported and the ATV was towed. Saturday, April 16 Librado de Jesus Hernandez, 49, Minong, was driving a friend’s car northbound on Hwy. 53, by Bubba’s Hill north of Oakridge Drive, when he lost control on the snowy roads and slid into the median slightly. There was also a vehicle that was involved in a rollover near the same location. Hernandez left the scene around 5 a.m., and was later approached by an officer and stated he was the driver. No injuries were reported and no connection to the rollover accident was established. A later court date was arranged. Monday, April 18 David W. Brannan, South Range, was traveling northbound on Hwy. 53 at Lakeside Road, between Minong and Solon Springs, when he struck a bear with his vehicle at 11:14 a.m. No persons were injured, but the vehicle had moderate damage and was towed. Wednesday, April 27 John T. Adams, 44, Millbrook, Ala., was driving a wide load semi-truck through Spooner when he
hit a traffic light at the intersection of Hwy. 63 and Hwy. 70 at 2:36 p.m. The sheriff’s department was notified of the damage by a witness and was sent to find the semi described. Upon stopping Adams, Adams stated he did not know he had hit anything because he cannot see around his mirrors, which is why he has a rear escort vehicle. Deputy Jilek spoke with the driver of the rear escort, Roy E. Allen, 37, Andalusia, Ala., and Allen stated Adams did get close to a traffic light in Spooner. Deputy Jilek informed Adams that the Department of Transportation will repair the damage to the traffic light and then probably contact him. No injuries were reported in this accident. Thursday, April 28 At 3:56 a.m., Margaret A. Dennis, 42, Couderay, was driving northbound on Hwy. 53 when the vehicle slid into the ditch at the Totogatic River. No injuries were reported, but the vehicle had to be towed. Philip T. Strop, 42, Duluth, Minn., was driving southbound on Hwy. 77, just west of Taylor Lake Road, in Minong when he swerved to avoid hitting a bear and overturned the vehicle at 4 a.m. The vehicle had moderate damage and had to be towed. No injuries were reported. Michael R. Rohde, 26, Spooner, slid in the median off of Hwy. 53, just south of Hwy. 70, at 6:10 a.m. due to snowy conditions. No injuries were reported and no damage reported to the vehicle. A passerby removed the vehicle from the median.
Brandon M. Museus, 23, Danbury, was driving northbound on Hwy. 53, at Oak Ridge Drive in Trego, with Charles A. Brown Jr., 24, Spooner, when the vehicle lost control, struck the shoulder, skidded across a trail entrance, struck a metal marker post and an adopt-a-highway sign and came to rest in the ditch. The accident occurred at 7:11 a.m. Snow and slush may have contributed to the accident. The vehicle had minor damage and had to be towed. No injuries were reported. Sunday, May 1 Sadi S. Fisher, 21, Cumberland, was southbound on Hwy. 53 at the exit for Hwy. 63, when she realized she needed to exit, and moved to exit, hitting the gravel part of the road. Fisher stated she overcorrected and struck a small post on the side of the road, overcorrected again, losing control and went down an embankment and ended up in the median between the exit ramp and southbound Hwy. 53. The accident occurred at 1:11 a.m. No injuries were reported, but the vehicle was towed due to undercarriage damage. Monday, May 2 Ian M. Thoemns, 19, Duluth, Minn., hit a deer at 10:53 p.m., while traveling southbound on Hwy. 53, just south of CTH B. The vehicle had severe front damage and had to be towed, but no injuries were reported.

We recently celebrated Mother’s Day so I thought this would be a good time to share the following quotes that were sent to me from my friend, Val, who is the grandmother to four grandchildren.

Spring is a good time to test well water
WASHBURN COUNTY — Safe drinking water is something that many people commonly take for granted. For the majority of Washburn County residents who have a private well and rely on groundwater to meet their water needs, the responsibility for making sure that their water is safe to drink or the decision to treat their water is solely up to them. Most people who have their water tested learn that their water is safe, however, some are surprised to learn they have a variety of water quality problems. Very few Washburn County residents have their well water tested. For those that do, the most common health-related water quality problem is coliform bacterial. Coliform bacteria are living microorganisms, found in soils and in human and animal wastes. They can enter wells through loose well caps, other well defects, or through cracks in the underground rocks. Coliform bacteria do not usually cause disease themselves, but may indicate that other diseasecausing bacteria such as E. coli might have a pathway to enter your well also. When disease-causing bacteria are present, a variety of flulike illnesses and even hepatitis may result from drinking the water. People should suspect coliform bacteria if their water suddenly changes color or becomes cloudy, especially during spring snowmelt
or after heavy rains. However sometimes there are no symptoms. Another health-related well water problem is nitrate-nitrogen, a common contaminant throughout much of Wisconsin but less so in Washburn County. The most common source of nitrate in groundwater is from fertilizers, both lawn and agricultural. Other sources may include septic systems, animal waste and other decomposing materials. While bacteria and nitrate are two of the most common water quality problems, unsafe levels of copper and lead can be found in drinking water when corrosive water comes in contact with common household plumbing. Copper at high levels can cause digestive disturbances, while high lead levels can cause brain, nerve and kidney damage, particularly in small children. You can purchase water test kits at the Washburn County Extension Office, 850 W. Beaverbrook Ave. in Spooner. You decide which tests you would like and then submit your water sample, along with the appropriate testing fees, to the water-testing lab at UW-Stevens Point. They will send your well water test results directly to you. As McGinley stated, “Test your water; no one else will do it for you.” — from UW-Extension

Hagen named NUE Outstanding Student
RICE LAKE — Twenty-six students, their parents and their most influential staff members were honored Wednesday, April 27, at the Northwest United Educators Outstanding Student Banquet held at the WITC Conference Center in Rice Lake. Staff members from each of the 26 NUE schools select an outstanding student to represent their school. Each outstanding student then selects an NUE staff member from their school to be honored as their Most Influential Staff Member. This is a person who has had a positive influence on them and has contributed to their success. Senior Amanda Hagen, daughter of Joel and Renee Hagen, was selected as Shell Lake’s NUE Outstanding Student for this year. She chose Patti Naglosky as her most influential staff member. At the banquet, the staff member introduced the outstanding student who had nominated them, acknowledging them for their positive influence and leadership in the classroom. Those honored as influential members emphasized the positive role that these students played in activities in both school and the community. These students prove, by their actions, that service can have a positive effect on others. These positive behaviors are observed and appreciated by other students as well as the adults in the community. The students explained how

Summer day camp programs at Hunt Hill
SARONA — Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona will be hosting a day camp series again this summer. Campers, ages 5-12, spend a day, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., exploring nature in these themed day camps. Camps start June 27 and run through Aug. 5. Families can sign up for one or multiple day camps throughout the summer. Day camps offer youth the opportunity to spend an active day outside, meet new friends and explore our natural world. Topics include: Nature art, SpongeBOG SquarePLANTS, Dinosaurs, Pioneers and more. Guided by trained naturalists, campers spend the mornings learning about specific topics – from frogs to rocks, survival to wildflowers – and the afternoons playing games, swimming and crafting. The day ends with a
closing program in which campers perform a song or skit reflecting on their day at camp for their family. Hunt Hill is also offering two new programs to assist families in attending day camps. The first is an online carpooling program called Divide the Ride. Parents who choose to opt in will have the opportunity to make carpooling arrangements with other day camper families. The second program is the After-Camp camp. After-Camp follows each day of camp and for a small additional fee allows families to pick up their campers at 5:30 p.m. instead of 4 p.m. To learn more about these opportunities and day camp topics, go to www.hunthill.org or call 715-635-6543. — from Hunt Hill

Ice Age National Scenic Trail building project in Birchwood
BIRCHWOOD — The Ice Age Trail Alliance is building a new section of the Ice Age Trail from May 11–15 near Birchwood, 19 miles northeast of Rice Lake. The trail building project will take place along Hwy. 48 between the big fish in Birchwood and the narrows bridge between Red Cedar Lake and Balsam Lake. The new section of the Ice Age Trail, called the Blueberry Connector, will help close a gap between the Hemlock Creek and Tuscobia segments of the statewide Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The project is one of 10 Ice Age Trail Mobile Skills Crew trail-building projects this year in Wisconsin. The project will separate motorized and nonmotorized uses and result in a pleasant walk for local resi-
dents, tourists and long-distance hikers. Community volunteers are needed to join trail building enthusiasts from all over Wisconsin who will travel to Birchwood to work on this project. Local citizens can experience the camaraderie of working shoulder to shoulder with volunteers and professional trail builders to make the Ice Age National Scenic Trail one of the premier hiking experiences in the U. S. Base camp will be in the village of Birchwood at Doolittle Park and Campground. Free meals and tent camping costs are provided for all volunteers. Students and staff from several area schools will be working on the trail. Previous trail construction experience is not necessary. Trail tasks include brushing, grub-
bing, shaping the native surface footpath with hand tools and some technical work such as working with rock to craft retaining walls. All tools and hands-on training will be provided. Members of the pubic are needed to lend a hand for a few hours or multiple days. Volunteers are asked to preregister on the Ice Age Trail Alliance Web site at mobileskills.iceagetrail.org/mobile-skills-crew-calendar. Click on the Tuscobia State Trail Mobile Skills Crew event. For more information contact Don Erickson at summit5@centurytel.net, 715-354-3827. — from Ice Age Trail Alliance
NOAA emergency radio could save your life
MADISON — Wednesday, May 11, is NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards Awareness Day. This campaign encourages Wisconsin residents to owy, May 11, is NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards Awareness Day. This campaign encourages Wisconsin residents to own a NOAA All Hazards Alert Weather Radio, a 24-hour source of weather forecasts, watches, warnings and nonweather emergency information provided by the National Weather Service and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Weather radios are smoke detectors for danger. A NOAA weather radio, with an alarm and battery backup, is one of the best ways to protect your family, especially at night when the alarm feature can wake you up during severe weather and give you and your family time to seek appropriate shelter. If there is no severe weather or emergency your radio can be switched to a silent, standby mode. “Emergency weather radios save lives,” says Tod Pritchard, Wisconsin emergency preparedness coordi-
nator. “The early warning of possible danger gives you and your family time to act and stay safe. It’s like having your own personal emergency siren.” “We’ve seen in recent years across the country, and now here in Wisconsin, that weather radios save lives,” says Jeff Last from the Green Bay office of the National Weather Service. “They should be as common in homes as smoke alarms are.” The NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards network started in 1972 and is the sole government-operated radio system to provide direct warnings for all hazardous conditions that pose a threat to lives and property. There are 37 stations that broadcast weather and hazards information to the residents of Wisconsin and over 1,000 stations nationwide. Weather radios come in many sizes, with a variety of functions and costs. They can be purchased at most electronic stores. Most weather radio receivers are either battery-operated portables or AC-powered desktop models with battery backup. The portable weather radios are an important item to take along when you are enjoying outdoor recreation such as camping and boating. Many receivers have digital technology called specific area message encoding that allows users to pro-

Beth Christman Hi, I’m Beth Christman. I’m currently a senior at UW-Superior for secondary education English with a coaching minor. This coming fall I will be student teaching and graduate in December. I actively play intramural sports: basketball, softball, and volleyball and coach the JV girls tennis team at Superior High School. Outside of school, I am an outdoor enthusiast. I like to camp, fish, go four-wheeling and horseback ride. Spending time with friends and family is an activity I thoroughly enjoy. I really like to go to the movies and listen to classic rock music. I am an avid Atlanta Braves baseball fan. I bought my horse, Sam, in 2006. I mainly trail ride throughout the area, but have also been on bigger trips in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. I have ridden through the Badlands, Teddy Roosevelt National Park and to Mount Rushmore. Overall, I am an easygoing, hardworking and motivated individual who enjoys trying new things. ••• The 58th-annual Spooner Rodeo will be held July 7-9. Rodeo fans can enjoy world-class professional rodeo with stock provided by Bob Barnes PRCA Rodeo and MJM Rodeo. Kids especially will love rodeo clown Backflip Johnny Dudley from Texas. One of professional rodeo’s hottest rising stars, his long entertainment list includes Xploding Limousine, The Mailman Skunk, the 2012 Dodge Duck and the Resistol Hat-Cleaning act. The audiences will thrill to 10-time Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association Specialty Act of the Year, John Payne the One-Arm Bandit. Animals in his act include longhorn-Watusi steers, South Dakota buffalo, mustangs, mules and Blackmouth Cur dogs. After the rodeo performances the Michael D. Band will entertain live, performing high-energy, rockin’ country. The Michael D. Band has performed with such acts as Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. During the past year they have performed in Wisconsin, North Dakota, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado and Arizona. Other great events at the 58th Spooner Rodeo will include the Exceptional Rodeo for special-needs children on Thursday, July 7, nickel scramble for kids Friday and Saturday, July 8-9, the huge Spooner Rodeo parade and Lions Club BBQ on Saturday, July 9, breakfast at the rodeo grounds and cowboy church service in the rodeo arena on Sunday, July 10.

Beth Kujala Hi! My name is Beth Kujala. I am the daughter of Mike and Dawn Richter, and Jim Kujala. I was born and raised in Spooner, and I am currently a junior attending Spooner High School. I have had an interest in horses since I was a child, and part of my interest developed because of the Spooner Rodeo. I have grown up watching the rodeo, and it has always been a dream of mine to try out for the Spooner Rodeo queen. I began riding at age 8, and bought my first horse, a mare named Bandit, at age 10. I have been showing for many years and enjoy Western, English, gymkhana and showmanship. I also enjoy trail riding and training Ban-
Kayla Rinkel My name is Kayla Rinkel. I am 19 years old and am running to be your 2011 Spooner Heart of the North Rodeo queen! My parents are Angela Bustad and Mark Rinkel. However, I live with my grandparents, Peggy and Harold Johnson in Webb Lake. I have two younger siblings, Larissa (15) and Cody (11). I am a freshman at the University of MinnesotaCrookston studying equine science, preveterinary medicine, and am transferring to the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with the same field of study for next fall. Horses are my passion. I not only am choosing to make a career out of them, but also enjoy spending many hours out in the horse pasture. My family has a small herd of eight all together, but I myself own three horses, and would not trade any one of them for the world. Casey is a 13-year-old sorrel overo paint mare and is, simply put, my best friend. I do not know where I would be today without this rambunctious mare. Mya is a 3-year-old pinto Tennessee walker filly that I have raised since she was 3 months old, and I am currently training to be my gaming horse. The newest addition to my equine friends would be Sakota, a 13-year-old palomino quarter horse, and, as I like to refer to her, my good horse. Sakota is the horse I plan on riding should I be so lucky as to be your Spooner Heart of the North Rodeo queen in 2011. I have been riding for seven years now, and enjoy many different types of riding. I love trail riding with friends and family. Much of our land is wooded and we have many trails weaving through this way and that. I also enjoy gaming and have been competing with my horse Casey for the last four years in barrel racing and poles. She may not be the fastest, but we always like to put on a show. My favorite rodeo event would be barrel racing, however, Casey seems to feel that the best rodeo event is bronc riding and she tries to imitate it whenever she feels possible. The best part of riding for me though is definitely training with Mya. It is very rewarding to see her grow

Allie Rouzer My name is Allie Rouzer. I am the daughter of Tim and Brenda Rouzer and I have two older brothers. We live on a farm west of Cumberland. I am a junior at Cumberland High School, and I am active in FFA, SOS, Drag Car Club and student council. I love the outdoors! Some of my favorite hobbies include snowmobiling, fourwheeling, riding horse, camping, hunting and fishing. Our family spends a lot of time camping. We like to take the horses with us and trail ride at various parks. I have ridden horses all my life and love to spend time with my pinto, Lil Rock. I have spent a lot of time volunteering in my community, church and snowmobile club. I am a certified nursing assistant and after high school I plan to enroll in a four-year college for registered nursing. I would be proud and honored to represent the Heart of the North Rodeo.
dit with the Parelli horsemanship program. I am truly grateful for having had the opportunity to have a horse and to have learned how to ride, and it has been a very important part of my life. Aside from riding and showing, I participate in many other activities. I am on the cross-country, cross-country ski, and track and field teams at Spooner High School. I am also a member of the National Honors Society, student council, class council, Spanish Club and FCA. Outside of school, I am a member of the Twin Valley 4-H Club and take part in the Trinity Lutheran Church youth group. I am looking forward to trying out for Spooner Rodeo queen, and hope to see you all at tryouts!

The owner of a plant said, “For this job I need a responsible man.” “Then I’m your man,” said the applicant. “In all my jobs, when anything went wrong, I was responsible.” Care never bothered him. It was don’t care. And half-doing was his undoing. But the person who does a little more work than he’s expected to, and does things a little better than he’s paid to, is the man who’s going to make a success of his job. The Living Bible says, “Work hard and with gladness all the time, as though working for Christ, doing the will of God with all your hearts. Remember the Lord will pay you for each good thing you do.” Visit us at: www.TheSower.com
Sandra M. Broker
Sandra M. Broker, 52, Turtle Lake, died May 4, 2011, at Rochester Methodist Hospital. She was born Dec. 22, 1958, in New Richmond, to David and Marilyn (Borchert) Olson. Sandy graduated from Clear Lake High School in 1977, and moved Stuartville, Minn., where she worked at a deli. She moved to Amery and worked at Golden Age Manor. During this time, she met Stretch Broker. Sandy was married in Amery on May 5, 1984, to Stretch Broker, and the couple raised three children at their home overlooking Horseshoe Lake. Sandy never lived a dull moment and always kept a smile on her face. She made it a point to keep herself busy whether it was working in her 15 flower beds, baking cookies for Stretch, watching Al race on Saturday nights, going to the movies with Chad, being an American mom to Sara, spending time with her family and friends, bowling or volunteering at the American Legion Auxiliary. Sandy was an organizer and planner, even if she had her own system that no one else could figure out. In recent months she loved planning her daughter’s wedding and even set up a print shop in her room to make sure things were printed in time. Sandy was preceded in death by her godson, Darin Brantner; and her grandparents. She is survived by her husband, Ervin “Stretch” Broker, Turtle Lake; children Chad Broker, Turtle Lake, Alan (Laura Mallet) Broker, Turtle Lake, LeAnn Broker (Nathan Warner), River Falls; and foreign exchange daughter, Sara Spaeter, Rathenow, Germany; her parents; siblings Deb (Larry Olson) Brantner, Deer Park, Kathy Langness, Hudson, James Olson, Clear Lake, Michael (Donna) Olson, Amery, and Kenneth (Cathy) Olson, Elk River, Minn.; many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held May 9 at Christ Lutheran Church, Pipe Lake, with the Rev. Steve Miller officiating. Burial was in Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Spooner. Honorary pallbearers were her nieces and nephews. Skinner Funeral Home, Turtle Lake, was entrusted with arrangements.

She is survived by two sons, Steve Hummel of Bloomington, Minn. and Gary (Mary) Hummel of Fall Creek; daughter, Julie (Jim) McMerty of Edina, Minn.; grandsons, Alex (Brenda Haines) Hummel of Oshkosh and Adam Hummel of Minneapolis, Minn.; granddaughters, Maria Bartholdi of Austin, Minn. and Brigitte Bartholdi of Los Angeles, Calif.; sister, Averyl Nelson of Minneapolis; brother-in-law, Herman Hummel of Orangeville, Ill.; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by sisters, Delores Shramek, Virginia Grushus and Mavis Nelson; a sister in infancy; brother, Dwight Taylor; and close companion, Nick Danyo. Funeral services were held Monday, May 9, at the United Methodist Church in Spooner with Pastor Jack Starr officiating. Special music by Jo Henrikson, organist and Dale Jacobson, soloist. Memorials are preferred to the United Methodist Church at 312 Elm St., and donations to the Washburn County Area Humane Society at 1400 Cottonwood St., Spooner. Online condolences may be offered at www.dahlfh.com. The Dahl Funeral Home, Spooner, was entrusted with arrangements.
Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. The restaurants here in town did a booming business — everyone taking their mom out for her special day. OK, this is very important! The salad luncheon date has been changed. It had been set for this coming Sunday, May 15, but due to circumstances beyond our control it has been changed to the following Sunday, the 22nd. So, worship service at Barronett Lutheran this week will be at the regular time, which is 9 a.m. Then, on May 22, worship service will be at 10 a.m. and the salad luncheon will be at 11 a.m. Sorry for the confusion. Everyone is cordially invited to attend the luncheon and worship services, too, of course. Come on over and see why I always brag about what great cooks the Barronett women are. The plant/bake sale at Wiesner Community Chapel was, once again this year, a roaring success. The sale started at 8 a.m., and people were milling around even before that to get the bargains. They had almost any perennial that you could possibly want, and a lot of things for the garden or orchard. Duane and I got a lilac, a couple of poppies, and an herb that tastes like celery when it’s cooked. If you did miss the sale, there will be another one at Cumberland ECU and there will be even more things there. When I visited the ECU a while ago, the tomato and pepper plants that the residents had started looked great. On the way back to Barronett from the plant sale, Tonja Metnik and Kathy Bever saw a mama bear with three adorable little cubs. They, the bears, were in a field between Wiesner Community Chapel and CTH B. That’s the second bear sighting I’ve been told about now, and both involved triplets. Blackberry picking is going to be pretty exciting this fall. I look and look for bear but never get lucky enough to see one. I did, however, see two muskrats. One was swimming in a ditch over by Richard and Marie Hillman’s farm, and one was swimming in that little pond by our garden. We have been trying for years to attract ducks, and finally we have seen wood ducks and mallards in that pond, so I hope muskrats aren’t dangerous for the baby
ducks or for the eggs. If you know anything about that, would you give me a call? We’d rather have the ducks than the muskrats. There are two things going on this Friday, May 13. First, from noon to 1 p.m., the Thomas St. Angelo Library in Cumberland will be hosting their monthly brown bag lunch. The theme this month is Good Old Days in Barron County, and the speaker will be Cecil Deutsch of the Barron County Historical Society’s Pioneer Village. The Friends of the Library will serve lunch. Sounds like a great way to learn about how your great-grandparents lived and worked. And, a great time to meet new people and visit with old friends. Then, Friday evening, members of Barronett Civic Club will host a spaghetti dinner starting at 5 p.m. at the community center. There will be a raffle starting at 7 p.m., with a lot of fabulous prizes. Proceeds from the raffle will go to the civic club’s scholarship fund. Jim Copus and Jim Trolinger, both of Brooklyn, were up this past week to get their campground all ready for the big Memorial Day weekend. They, along with Jesse and Art Adams, spent most of the week cleaning up fallen branches, raking up leaves, and just generally getting everything nice for when they bring the families up. How are you coming with your garden? Duane got ours all tilled up on Sunday afternoon, so now we can get stuff in there — if it ever stops raining, that is. He also went over to Rambo and Jennifer Arnes’ home and tilled up a couple of garden patches for them. He said that Lucas had a worm that he was saving for fishing that he brought over and showed him. We’ll have to find out if it survived long enough to get out on the lake and, if it did, what kind of a fish he caught with it. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope to see you at the spaghetti supper Friday evening. Have a wonderful week.

Road Walk on the IAT
by Sylvia Oberle, Stanberry Hiking along on the Ice Age Trail road connector near Westfield, I felt my heart skip a few beats. Just ahead, I saw a wild pig. It was standing still and seemed to be glaring at me. I walked closer. Whew! It’s just a lawn ornament! That was a relief and it cheered me to realize it was just another in the huge variety of lawn decorations Wisconsinites love to display. It’s fun, while walking the road connectors on the Ice Age trail, to notice which ornaments are most popular in an area. I’ve taken an unofficial tally. My daughter wrote down a list and every time we saw one, we made a mark. So far, the three most prominent lawn ornaments are: the wishing well, deer and windmills. The traditions behind the wishing well are many. In ancient times water itself was considered holy and certain wells
Sarona
were considered prophetic. For example: St. Helen’s well at Staffordshire, England, dried up just before a calamity. Tradition says this well dried up before the execution of Charles I, even in a wet
season. Coins dropped in wishing wells for healing can be traced back to the Greeks and Romans. We have enough wind here in Wisconsin for the many windmills that spin in many shapes and colors. They are decorative and useful, too. Some people use them to cover the pipes to hide their holding tanks. Windmills are often accompanied by the Dutch boy and Dutch girl reminding us of the Netherlands. I did not research anything about the many deer statues I saw in yards along the way. I just think I know how honored deer are in Wisconsin. My daughter always laughed and said, “Mother, if we become a future generation’s archeological dig, they will think we worshipped deer!” And according to my grandfather, the beautiful white tail, big brown eyes, and graceful body make the deer much better looking than people. Another ornament high on our list is the gazing ball of blue, green and deep red. These would make my husband
shake his head, but I liked the reflections they made for my photographs. Gazing balls called garden kugels (kugel means ball in Germany) were placed at the gate in the front yard so people sitting on porches could see who was coming and quickly close the door or go to prepare a cup of tea. I saw many more unique ornaments like the wheelbarrow filled with flowers spilling out, shrines, wagon wheels, mushrooms and even Packers on a swing. It made me think there’s at least one good thing about our late spring this year. We have time to dust off, unwrap or repaint our decorations. Yesterday, my neighbor took the blanket off his dog statue. His Lassie will look new and clean, but I’ll have to paint my wooden daisy that says, “Welcome.” So let’s get going on those lawns. Make them interesting. Make them fun. Then we’ll say, “Spring has sprung!”
Thursday, I visited at Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht’s. Great-granddaughter Jillian had a tonsillectomy that morning. Grandma Nancy, Aunt Sue Weathers and her grandpa and grandma, Scott and Gloria, also had stopped. Hope you get to feeling better now Jillian. Linda Furchtenicht visited me on Friday bringing a pretty flower. Mother’s Day evening, I and grandma Wealthy Marschall joined John and Mary, their kids, Sara and fiancé Kyle, Brady and Brian and girlfriends Ashley Anderson and Jade LaFave, went to eat at the Pine Ridge Supper club in Stone Lake and had a very nice evening. Happy birthday this week to Cara (West) Whitney, Paige Haight, Kenneth Smith and Ken Ziemer, May 12; Pete
Frey, Ferne Shoquist, Fred Giesdorf, Ben Juza, Steve Johnson and Laurie Studt, May 13; Dorothy Esser, Joey Swan, Mallory Durand and Jed Johnz, May 14; Dale Maker, Teri Mancl, Bev Strand and Lenore Swan, May 15; Corey Williams, Jeannie Sandau, Cindy Bohn, Linda Sauer and Peggy Pockat, May 16; Mary Lou Hoecherl, Andrea Hartwig, Dexie Dunham, and Mike Campbell, May 17; Art Swan, Amy Reitz and Madison Glaze, May 18. Have a good day! A happy anniversary to Gary and Suzie Johnson, May 13; and a happy wedding day is wished for Ashley Stodola and Levi Johnson, who chose May 14 to be wed.

It was thundering away and rainy on Monday morning after a beautiful weekend. Farmers were hitting it while the sun was shining, cause it’s a late one with lots of tilling and planting to get done in a short time, and the weatherman says there is storm activity for the entire week. How life changes! Elfreda West reports after 65 years, the Wests in Sarona are not planting any potatoes this year. The Lapacinskis quit growing them last year and sold off their potato equipment this spring and now just raise corn and soybeans. The Madge Evergreen Cemetery will have their annual cleanup day, potluck and spring meeting Saturday, May 14, starting at 8 a.m. Remember, many hands make for a smaller job and working together makes work fun! Folks around Big Ripley are going through closets and garages and gathering things for the Relay For Life garage sale held this year on Thursday and Friday, May 19 and 20, from 9 a.m. t o 6 p.m., and Saturday, May 21, 9 a.m. to noon, at the Sarona Town Hall. Like last year, all items are free with a donation requested, and all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. There is a benefit Saturday, May 14, 1 p.m., at Kegler’s Pub and Pin in Spooner for JoAnn Martin who is going through cancer treatments. Keep her in your prayers and try to attend the benefit. JoAnn has the Black Iris Art Gallery in Spooner, and she and her husband, Andrew, have the bowling alley. I am using one of their advertising pens as I write
my column. The SHS Class of 1950 will be eating out at Jersey’s in Spooner on Thursday, May 12, at 5 p.m., with Wally in charge. Long Live the Squeezebox will be performing at Cheska Opera in Haugen on Friday night, May 12. Call Bob Juza for tickets at 715-234-5600. Elaine Ryan and Rocky had her kids, Nicole and Shane Baker and boys, and Danelle and Nathan Ryan in for the April birthdays last Monday evening. Graduation invitations and open houses for the 2011 graduates are arriving, so parents are getting ready for that. That school year went by fast. I have been celebrating my birthday every day all week through Mother’s Day. Gloria Frey had gals in on Monday, the occasion, helping me celebrate my 79th. We ate and ate, enjoyed visiting. It took all of us to remember names we were reminiscing about. That goes with age. There were ohs and ahs when seeing Gloria’s cactus plant loaded with huge, beautiful red blooms and lots of blooms. Tuesday morning, Elfreda West, Mavis Schlapper, Gloria Frey and I took in the Katty Shack breakfast, about a dozen gals and half a dozen guys showed up. The kids all stopped down at sometime or other with hugs and flowers, cards and cakes. Allan Loew walked over with wishes. Otherwise the telephone was busy with birthday greetings for me on Tuesday. Wednesday, Evie Campbell came down and had lunch with me, Mavis Schlapper came for coffee and a visit.

Sunday was Mother’s Day and it turned out to be a nice day. A little windy, but it didn’t seem to bother all the moms here that went out with family on Sunday. We woke up to thunder and lightning on Monday with a good shower. They say that storms like that put nitrogen in the ground. Sympathy to the family of Vincent Johnson who died last week, with funeral services at Salem Lutheran Church. Happy birthday to Eileen Giddings on May 9. Eileen is a resident here. Have a good day Eileen. Mavis and Roger Flach had family home on Sunday. Wayne and Kim and family, Brad and Kelly, Hailey and Steve and Jody and children. They had a good day. Judy Bolterman attended the Wisconsin State District meeting at the Catholic church last week. On Thursday night, state officers met at the Spooner Market and Grill. Sunday night the Marschall family had dinner at Pine Ridge. Their guests were Sara and Kyle Mathison, Brady and Ashley, Brian and Jade LaFave, Wealthy Marschall and Marian Furchtenicht.
They also celebrated Sara and Kyle’s engagement and Mom’s Day. Peder and Suzie Anderson and son, John, went to see Arvid and D. Helen Pederson at T.L.C. Saturday. John and Gloria Grove were also there. After that they came to visit Helen V. at Glenview. On Sunday, Peder, Suzie and John enjoyed dinner at the China Buffet in Rice Lake. On Sunday morning, Sue and Larry Winner came down from Solon Springs to take Helen V. to church at Salem and after church met Brenda and Jeff and Elisabeth at the Lakeview Bar and Grill for dinner. Mary Krantz and daughter Denise Sando came in and joined us also. Jack Sando went to Spooner to see his mom, Virginia. Sue Winner walked in the cancer walk with her girlfriend on Saturday morning in Duluth, Minn. The pancake feed in Superior last week held at D.E.C.K. was a great success, serving 8,000 people. Turning up one’s nose often gets it bent out of shape. Have a good week.

After spending a long, cold and snowy winter and after spending such cold temps, rain and lots of wind, don’t you think it’s time for some fun? Well come June 18, the day of change 2001-2011 and day of thanksgiving will be celebrated. Yes, it’s been 10 years now since our Dewey Country was hit by that raging tornado that took three lives in our township, Ruth Schultz, Tom Haseltine and Sylvan Stellrecht, and leaving behind so much destruction. It was thanks to our Dewey Country town board, John Biver, Mark Knoop, Mark Stellrecht, Dorothy Stellrecht, Jack Peterson and Tom Biver for the many, many hours they took to put our township back together again. At this time I think there is only one place that hasn’t been replaced. Our people got through it, but we’ll pass on another one. The tornado started at Wood River to Bashaw, gathering so much in its evil winds, carrying along everything it touched. Arts Alive B.A.G. gallery will have special sunflower tornado items. Northwinds British Brass concert, 2-3:30 p.m. at Crooked Lake Park band shell, Sunflower World Record for the most dressed people as sunflowers. Join in the fun as we set the world record. Tornado Expression Art Show Memory Walls and Document Art Show, Siren School committee and auditorium. Dinner of Thanksgiving 4-6 p.m., Siren School commons, free-to-all dinner music, “Songs of Change” by Vern Moss, the Piano Man. CDs sales fundraiser. Ecumenical prayer service, 7-7:30 p.m., Siren School to Crooked Lake Park. Remembrance and recognition, 7:30-8:20 p.m., Crooked Lake Park. If rain, will be at the school. Moment of Recognition, 7:30-8:20 p.m., Crooked Lake Park. Official tornado anniversary Tshirts sold at Peggy’s Fashion Rack. Moment of Silence 8:20 p.m. Crooked Lake Park. Further information, call 715-349-8399. This is sponsored by the Tornado 10-YearAnniversary committee. Last week my pup, Rory, Happy Tom Cat, and I were outside and the two little ones were wrestling around on the driveway. All of a sudden, Rory decided he had lots of energy and made a big swing around the cat, coming in too close to him and off he went again making or trying to make another big circle around Happy Tom. Well he didn’t come so I started looking where he was. He was sitting in our driveway and wouldn’t come. He just sat there very still, like a statue. Finally I went over to see what his problem was and lo and be-

hold he couldn’t move. Yes, he was all wound up in cockleburrs and if he moved he cried. So off we went picking all those burrs out. At first he was mad and wanted to bite me, but settled down when I got him to the house. I had to use scissors to cut a lot of the burrs out and he never wiggled. He had these burrs on his face, his ears, under his chin, on all four feet, his back and tummy and his tail. When we finally got them out, he looked at me and licked my hands as if to say thank you. He sure keeps me on my toes but is such a joy to have around, even if he’s spoiled rotten. Spending the weekend with Betty and Carl Meister were Bev, Jarrett and Erik Caselius. All enjoyed food and a great family time. Sunday, Carl and Kevin Meister also came down to spend the day with Carl and Betty. Betty was into Terraceview to see her mom, Catherine Schumacher. Nephew Brian Meister put in some corn this last week and was planting on Sunday. Coming May 20, seniors of Shell Lake High School will be graduating and moving onward with their lives, whatever the fields they want to go in to. Good luck seniors. We’re proud of you. Butch and Loretta Vanselus took in the spaghetti feed at Shell Lake Schools for next year’s seventh-graders to raise money to go to Wolf Ridge. Coming for Mother’s Day dinner at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s were Patty and Noel Beaufeaux and sons Mitch and Kyle, Jimmy Atkinson and Kristen Williams, Kim, Janna, and Brianna and Kristen’s boyfriend, Scott Carl, and his two girls. Our weatherman Marv Knoop tells us we had 1-9/10 inches of rain in April. So far in May Marv says we got about three-tenths of an inch. Mother’s Day found Karen Vanderhoof and Mark Knoop visiting their folks, Marv and Gladys Knoop, for Mother’s Day. Table Talk: If you could be a vegetable, what would you like to be? Come on now, I know you all like broccoli! Mother’s Day at Cecil and Evelyn Meltons found Vicki Trott and her honey, Don, two friends of the Meltons and Cecil and Evelyn enjoying homemade lasagna by chef Vicki. Later Richard and Karen and Allan Melton stopped over to see Mom and wished her well. Jim Toll says he has some corn ground ready to plant this week. Dave was home from the Twin Cities. Tammy Noe had two of her children out and made a big dinner for Mother’s Day. The next Dewey Township board meeting will be May 12, 8 p.m., at the Dewey Town Hall. Everyone welcome. Jerry and Gretchen Best were over for Mother’s Day at Gretchen’s brother Mitch Strege’s, at his cabin for dinner along with others including Gretchen’s mom, Lillian Strege. All enjoyed potluck along with lots of
Friendship Commons by Theresa Sigmund
We stitchers at the center were all busy Wednesday morning stitching our appliquéd blocks of the sunshine girls, which is going to be a beautiful quilt. Our Dining at Five was great. Two of my sons, Bob and Jim, and Jim’s wife, Linda, joined us. We played Smear Tuesday night. Here are the scores for a few nights: Jim, first; Mable second; Connee, third. The latest scores are Lillian, first; Tom, second; and Chuck, third. We played Rummikubs after lunch at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, as we do every Wednesday. Remember the Spring Tea coming up this month and also the general meeting and book club. The book club will be one week earlier, on May 20, because the garage sale will be the last Friday of the month. It was Mother’s Day on Sunday, and I had a good one. I had lunch with two of my sons, Allen and Jim, and their wives, Judy and Linda. My daughter, Rita, came by Saturday and had supper with my friend, Marylyn, from the apartments and myself. Sunday, my son Dennis, and wife Vicki came by with a basket of plants. The church Mass in Sarona was beautiful and I visited with friends. I spent a day last week at the nursing home playing cards with Gerry. Evelyne joined us for a few games. I planted some potatoes in my little plot. Soon I’ll plant the rest. They are putting new bedroom windows in our apartments. They sure are pretty. Marylyn and I played Rummikubs in the dayroom Sunday. They are updating the dayroom kitchen, but aren’t done yet. “May I never wake up from the American dream.” Carrie Latet
grilling and good family time. Sunday, Bernard Redding took his honey, Sandy, out to dinner at The Prime in Trego. Reports were the food was really delicious! Bernard wants people to know that farmers only get 5 cents on a box of corn flakes. He says that 5 cents will buy a lot of diesel. Did I write that wrong or not? Must be those high $4 plus diesel prices, truckers have to pay and farmers right along with it. Bill and Dawn Kane, Heather and Michael were in Pennsylvania for a week to attend their daughter Rachel’s graduation from college. Rachel plans to go on for her master’s now. Way to go Rachel! Bernard Redding is doing his best to outsmart those bears that keep getting into their garbage and to keep the bears out of the birdfeeders. He says he only puts enough feed for the day. Sunday, Richy, our puppy Rory and I went to Chetek to Penny and Jeff Ladd’s, joining Paula and Kenzie Cramer for Mother’s Day. We all went to the Sportsman’s Club near Cameron for dinner, which was such a treat for us moms. Later we spent time at the Ladds’ enjoying those little munchkins and Penny and Jeff. Sunday, Janie and her honey, Rick Lauterbach, along with Noah and Ellianna invited Jan Lauterbach and Marie and Warren Quam to celebrate Mother’s Day. It was such a treat with lots of goodies with homemade ice cream that Janie makes for dessert. You sure know, Janie and Rick, how to make such good food and good memories. Janie says their little girl, Ellianna, 9 months old now, is crawling. She is a beautiful little girl and growing too fast. Monday, May 9, we had an old-fashioned thunder and rainstorm. Yes, that lightning flashes and its boom, boom, boom, but we really need more rain. It’s going to hold the farmers back from getting in to plant their crops, but it’s not that late yet. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!
Washburn County Area Humane Society ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE WEEK All the cats are happy, cause it seems that spring has sprung, It makes for longer days, and more time to lie in the sun. Many cats from last year wish that they were “sprung” as well, There are some days that they feel blue, it’s not that hard to tell. The big cats think that they won’t go, and here’s the reason why, There’s all those cute, sweet kittens that just seem to multiply. When you adopt a grown-up cat, you know just what you’ve got, But if you get a kitten, it could really change a lot. So now the older cats sure hope, that they have changed your mind, Because a cat like Muffin is the best you’ll ever find!

They also They also decided to ask the respite program to help
with the show and, before they knew it, just about everything fell into place. Music will be provided by Jo Henrikson; Ann Bergmann, past president of the Wisconsin Partner program and a Partner representative in Washington, D.C., will be the mistress of ceremonies and Darleen Heller will be in charge of the door prizes and table decorations and there will be a plethora of cookies, candies, coffee and punch served. So far it was turning out to be a sort of ho-hum, runof-the-mill fashion show, but not for long. With a little brainstorming, they decided to have the clothes for their 25 models of all ages provided by both Connections and Ventures, the two great thrift stores in Spooner. The shops gladly started picking out some suggested items to wear and then it got even more interesting when Kies decided to play the role of Maxine, the terse wit of comic fame. She’s appearing several times throughout the show, definitely livening things up. The grand finale will be a full-blown wedding scenario, thanks to Sue Miller, head of the respite program, with everyone, the parents of the bride and groom down to the flower girls, appearing in beautiful selections, all from the thrift stores. The beauty of this show is that women of all sizes will model and the selections go from business and casual all the way to negligees. There will be music, door prizes, sweets, fun and laughter on Saturday, May 14, starting at 1 p.m. at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Spooner on CTH A, and there is no set charge for the event because it’s being held on a strictly donation basis. The organizers say it will also be possible to buy the clothes after the show, but if the room is full, you might have to hustle to get there first. This is the event you’ve looked forward to all winter, but maybe didn’t realize it. It will be a day of laughter, treats and a good reason to spend a bit of money in order to aid two most worthy local causes.
