SHELL LAKE — Stressing the importance of good nutrition, Shell Lake Schools announces the sponsorship of the summer food service program for 2012. The Shell Lake School District will again be providing free meals this summer. During the weeks of June 11-29 and July 9-20, free breakfast and lunch will be served. Breakfast will be served from 7:30-8 a.m. with lunch available from 11 a.m.-noon. Free, nutritious meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private nonprofit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well. SFSP is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service. To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, D.C., 20250-9410 or call 800-795-3272 or 202-7206382 (TTY).

••• MADISON - Youth ATV injuries alarm doctors. The children's hospital in Madison is reminding parents and kids about all-terrain-vehicle safety. Over the course of two months, five children were taken to the emergency room because of injuries occurring while riding ATVs. In 2011, American Family children's hospital saw 13 kids in the emergency room for all-terrain-vehicle accidents. In just two months of this year, five children have need treatment; including a 9 year old boy from Lafayette County who died. Emergency room pediatrician Joshua Ross it’s important to remember these are motorized vehicles that young people may not always be able to control well, "Kids are physically smaller and have immature judgement and motor skills making the opportunity for accidents even greater than you'd have with adults." All ATV accidents have to be reported to the Wisconsin DNR. In 2011 there were three fatalities involving teens: the youngest was a 12-year-old. Gary Eddy is the ATV safety administrator at the DNR. He says restrictions on children depend on where ATVs are being used. In public areas, kids over 12 can operate small ATVs on their own after attending a certified safety class. There is no similar requirement on private land, "A child at any age can operate any size ATV on private property --with a parent's permission--and they are not required to wear helmets or have any safety gear or anything like that so really loose on private property and that's where we tend to see some of our problems occur."

Eddy says there were 300,000 ATV registrations in Wisconsin this year. Shamane Mills, Wisconsin Public Radio

Deer baiting and feeding ban goes beyond corn

Discovery of a local deer with CWD prompts a fourcounty ban that includes salt blocks, mineral sites and other forms of feeding

by Marty Seeger Special to the Register NORTHWEST WISCONSIN– The discovery of a white-tailed deer that tested positive for chronic wasting disease in Washburn County in early April resulted in a statewide ban on baiting and feeding in four Northwest Wisconsin counties last week beginning Thursday, May 10. Existing state law requires that counties, or portions of counties, within the 10-mile radius of a game farm or free-ranging CWD-

positive deer be included in the baiting and feeding ban.

Washburn, Barron, Burnett and Polk counties are within the 10-mile radius of the location where the CWD-positive deer was found, bringing the total up to 32 Wisconsin counties that now have a ban on baiting and feeding.

While the ban has been around since 2002 for much of the southern half of the state, it’s relatively new for those living in northwestern Wisconsin counties where baiting and feeding is now prohibited.

“If people have trophy rocks or salt blocks out, take them in,” said Jesse Ashton, DNR conservation warden in Polk County. Ashton explained that all forms of baiting and feeding are now illegal, which includes the use of corn, hay or other feeds consumed by deer. Mineral sites and other liquids consumed by deer are also ilSee Feeding ban, page 3

Recall of Jauch suspended

Jauch calls group disreputable

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio ASHLAND - The effort to recall State Sen. Bob Jauch has stopped, at least for now. The announcement comes one week short of the deadline to get signatures to trigger an election.

Citizens for Responsible Government needed more than 15,000 signatures to get a recall election of the Democratic senator from Poplar. CRG Network Field Operations Director Orville Seymer won’t say how many signatures they gathered after 53 days of circulating petitions, “We had hoped to have all the signatures at this

point. That didn’t happen. We’re very close. We would not have had a very good cushion, so we decided to focus our efforts on getting Gov. Walker and Lt. Gov. Kleefisch re-elected. Then we’ll restart the recall sometime after June 5.”

Sen. Jauch says he doesn’t “believe anything that CRG says.” With 10 people showing up for a recall rally in Superior two weeks ago and another 14 or so in Ashland, he says CRG lacks credibility, “They’ve dipped their toes into a number of recalls in recent years and properly flopped on their faces on each and every one of them. They had a week left, by the way, so this notion that they had enough signatures but not enough padding is just another lie.”

While Seymer says they’ll probably resume the recall effort after the June 5 recall election is over, they’d have to start from scratch.

by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio NORTHWESTERN WISCONSIN Green-up has come a little earlier than usual in northwestern Wisconsin’s blowdown area, so backup firefighting planes and crews have left the area.

The 40-day contract ended Saturday, May 5, for the extra tanker planes and crews. DNR area forestry leader Steve Runstrom says they’ve left for browner pastures. Even so, Runstrom says the ban on burning will continue for another week or so. “We are prepared to handle that with the ground resources that we have. Understand that all of that rain that we’ve had has helped subdue the fire danger in the heavier log-type material but as you know, we still have a way to go.”

The National Weather Service says

2-1/2 inches of rain fell in mid-April in the blowdown area. Runstrom says although the fire danger remains and tough restrictions are still in place, they dodged a bullet. “Oh, definitely. I gotta say, through the work of our prevention folks who worked with the media as well as really good cooperation and understanding by the general public to know and understand the fire risk we had this year with the extensive blowdown. In fact, we did not have any real significant fires in the blowdown.”

Runstrom says they used the contract airplane tankers on three missions, but only one was in the blowdown area.

More than a quarter million acres of trees were blown down in northwestern Wisconsin and central Minnesota during a severe windstorm last July 1.

College graduates entering uneasy job market

by Maureen McCollum Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Thousands of students will be graduating from Wisconsin colleges over the next several weeks. Although the job market isn’t exactly prosperous, it could be getting better.

Graduating college can be an uneasy journey, especially with today’s tough job market. New graduates are competing for jobs with experienced workers.

Tim Tritch is the associatedirector of Career Services at UW-La Crosse. He says anecdotally, the job market seems to be picking up. More employers have been contacting his office about job openings than in recent years, “We don’t have a day that goes by, literally, without getting a call or e-mail from an employer saying, ‘Can you help us

find people to fill this position.’” Tritch says the health care and IT fields continue to expand.

Dennis Winters is the chief labor market economist with Wisconsin’s Department of Workforce Development. He says hiring is picking up statewide. Winters says certain students will have an easier time finding work than others, “If you’ve got a degree in mechanical engineering for example, you’re probably in pretty good stead. But I know some folks who have undergrads in microbiology that are back in tech colleges getting other background in techniques to find places in the labs and such around.”

Winters says college graduates are more likely to find work than people who do not have degrees.

legal. Deer may still use these areas after a salt block is removed, or minerals are no longer being used, but over time, they will frequent these areas less.

“We just don’t want any new products out there,” Ashton said.

Although dumping corn or using minerals or salt to attract deer is now illegal, people are still allowed to plant food plots statewide. This includes normal gardening practices or planted crops left standing as wildlife food plots used by wild animals.

“Food plots are not regulated. You can leave them standing just like you could in the past,” Ashton said.

The use of liquid scents are also exempt from the baiting and feeding ban, however, DNR regulations state that “2 ounces or less of scent may be placed, used or deposited in any manner for hunting game and does not need to be removed daily at the end of hunting hours.” Bear hunters should also note that the ban does not affect the use of bait for hunting bear or training bear dogs.

Ashton said that while he’s heard some grumbles regarding the ban on baiting and feeding, many have shown support for the ban and are trying to cooperate with the DNR. Most are also coming to an understanding that baiting and feeding can increase risks of spreading diseases such as CWD. Baiting and feeding concentrates multiple deer into a small area, which makes it easier for communicable diseases, such as CWD, to spread.

But hunters won’t be the only ones who will need to adapt to the new rules.

Many homeowners feed deer near their homes for recreational wildlife viewing purposes. Prior to the ban, baiting and feeding with the use of a salt block or a 2gallon limit of corn was legal year-round, just as long as it was within 50 yards of the residence.

“I’ve got one lady that all winter, she comes in a couple of times every few weeks to buy a bag of corn,” said Tony Peterson at Great Northern Outdoors in Frederic. “She’s just feeding so she can watch them in her yard. That’s a no-no now.”

Feeding birds and other small mam-

mals is still permitted, but if deer frequently visit feeders, they must be kept at a sufficient height to be out of reach of a deer, or in a feeder inaccessible to deer.

Placing drinking water or using birdbaths with plain water is still permitted.

Peterson expects a drop in business due to the baiting and feeding ban. Two years ago, he sold around eight tons of corn, and the corn comes directly from the local feed mill in Luck. He sells it more for convenience to the customer than anything and doesn’t make a lot of profit on selling corn, but expects feed mills will be affected.

“It’s going to just kill these little feed mills,” Peterson said. But he also says they too, have found it lucrative to sell the many different types of attractants used by hunters during the hunting season, which are now also illegal.

On the upside, Peterson also sells supplies for food plots. He hasn’t seen an increase in sales yet, but it’s still early in the planting season. He also expects that hunters might wait until next year before getting too serious about planting. Food plots can be more work, require more planning and equipment than baiting with corn, but Peterson insists there are ways to plant without excessive cost and the use of expensive equipment.

Latest on CWD A genetic test of the 3-1/2-year-old doe that tested positive for CWD near Shell Lake has been done recently, proving the animal originated in the north – not from southern Wisconsin, where the disease originated. This is according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report by Lee Bergquist.

The DNR says the genetic testing proves the deer didn’t simply wander from the closest known outbreak 186 miles away where CWD is known to exist. It was also noted that because the deer came from the northern wild deer population, it is unlikely that the deer originated from a game farm.

Swimming pool option back in hands of residents

City council members Andy Eiche and Chad Shelton go over monthly vouchers at the Shell Lake City Council meeting on Monday, May 14. – Photo by Jessica Beecroft

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – City council members decided to proceed with an amendment of a city ordinance that currently does not allow swimming pools over 18 inches high to be within city limits if there is not a fence enclosure.

City Council President Andy Eiche spoke to the matter at the council’s regular monthly meeting, Monday, May 14.

“I believe it is my responsibility to ensure my kids are safe, and I’d like that re-

sponsibility back.” Eiche spoke about how this ordinance may have been in place for homeowner insurance reasons, but asked that the city council amend the ordinance to allow homeowners to decide for themselves if they would like to place a swimming pool up in their yards.

The city council voted unanimously to amend the ordinance, and the law will now allow swimming pools over 18 inches high in the city.

SLPD new squad car arrives

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – The new squad car for the Shell Lake Police Department has finally arrived. After being promised the new vehicle since last January, the squad car is now sitting at the city shop.

Woodland Signs has put the lettering on the car, and the city is waiting for the rest of the parts to convert the vehicle for the SLPD. According to police Chief Clint Stariha, the vehicle is going to be in service after the radio, sirens, cage and light system are all installed. Stariha said the SLPD should be ready for a busy summer Stariha presented the monthly activity to the city council on Monday, May 14.

The activity includes: 30 complaints, five county assists, two motorist assists, one accident, four ambulance assists, three arrests, six dog complaints, one dog to pound, one funeral escort, three thefts, one welfare check, one juvenile out of control, 28 verbal warnings, 11 citations,

one gas drive-off, one lift assist, one car versus deer incident, one criminal damage to property and one ATV complaint.

Jane Pederson, city council alderperson, addressed Stariha as to how she believed the city needed to crack down on ATV drivers that are speeding out of control. Stariha advised Pederson that they would need good witness statements, and he would ask the city attorney if they would be willing to pursue the matter in court. As Stariha described, it is difficult for an officer to give a ticket to a person when he did not witness and clock the speed as evidence. Pederson stated she would be following up with the matter.

The SLPD issued the following tickets: three speeding, one no insurance, one operating after suspension, one OWI, one BAC, one failure to stop, one failure to stop for school bus, one trespassing and one passing on the right.

Are we going to follow everyone else?

What kind of state do we want? Do we want to be like Illinois, which has a disastrous fiscal situation? Illinois’ public pension funds are grossly underfunded by over 50 percent, the state owes unpaid income tax refunds to state businesses and billions of dollars of unpaid bills are owed to state vendors and to Medicaid providers. The cost to each Illinois resident to fund just the unfunded obligation of health insurance for public sector worker retirees is $3,389. In Indiana, it is only $81.

Illinois recently passed a state tax increase of $7 billion, and yet its expected deficit increased from $4.6 billion to $5.0

billion. The tax increase has prompted many small businesses to leave the state or not expand. The state has been forced to negotiate special deals with larger employers like Caterpillar and Illinois Toolworks to keep them from jumping ship to another state. Why should one business get a break and not another? It is vital to have thriving businesses enabled by low taxes, simple and few regulations, and a sensible litigation environment in order to support public goods like police, fire protection and public education.

The following is a quote from Rahm Emanuel, current mayor of Chicago and

Everywhere I drive, I see yard signs that read Stand with Walker. It looks like the silent majority is waking up.

There seems to be a myth about Walker supporters, of which I am one. I am not a wealthy corporate type. I own a small, local business that provides a critical service to the area. I provide for my own retirement and health insurance. I pay my share of taxes and then some. For the first time in a decade, my property taxes have gone down. I have contributed to Scott Walker’s campaign when I have money to spare; not millions of dollars, but certainly less than the average public employee has given to any Democrat candidate through his or her union dues. There are thousands of

Walker supporters just like me.

Most importantly, I am a typical overprotective parent. My wife and I want the best schools for our daughters that our tax dollars will buy, and that means the flexibility to pay our best teachers what they deserve and fire the worst teachers. It is no secret that under Tom Barrett and the stranglehold of overpaid union bosses, the Milwaukee Public School system is one of the worst in the nation. We dread that if elected, Barrett would drag our great northern schools backwards. On June 5, we will be voting to move Wisconsin forward.

Nine million dollars! That is the projected cost of the Scott Walker recall election. Nine million dollars! All because a group of selfish, arrogant people feel that they were wronged during a successful effort to balance our state budget and reduce the deficit. The real losers in this fiasco are the hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin citizens who voted for Scott Walker and are now being told that their votes were worthless. Walker was elected by a majority vote in a fair election and should be allowed to serve out his term.

If I sound ticked off, it’s because I am.

I’m angry that a group of whiney, crybaby union employees think they are so much better than me that my vote, which I hold dear, only counts if it agrees with their agenda. I’m angry that they feel they are above the system that is in place – a system where people unhappy with elected officials vote them out of office in the next scheduled election. That is the embodiment of due process and comes at no additional cost to the taxpayer. I’m

angry that our state Constitution contains a loophole that allows an abrogation of power such as we are seeing right now in Wisconsin. I’m angry that this group of people will try to replace Walker, not with someone of the people, by the people and for the people, but with a pawn owned and controlled by the union. And I’m angry that taxpayer money will be wasted on this election.

When this election actually takes place, I hope there are enough rational people in Wisconsin to put Walker right back in the governor’s chair, and when this happens, I hope Walker can find a way to dig a little deeper into the pockets of those who perpetrated this farce to gain back some of the money that was piddled away through their greed and arrogance.

Yes, I am ticked off. Nine million dollars! Can’t Wisconsin find a better use for taxpayer money?

The fact that not enough signatures were collected to recall Sen. Jauch doesn’t mean that his constituents are pleased with his vote on the mining bill. Quite the contrary.

Jauch’s response to the suspension of the recall effort against him states that Wisconsin residents are fed up with vengeful political behavior. How very true. So even though I strongly disagree with his vote on SB 488 and find the tactics he used to defeat the bill abhorrent, I chose not to sign Jauch’s recall papers.

Recall is the ugliest political tool that can be used and many people think it’s time to quit playing tit-for-tat. However, Jauch’s actions indicate otherwise.

Jauch’s signature on a Gov. Walker recall petition and the fact that his wife circulated petitions reveals that Jauch is not willing to heal the divisions in the state — divisions that started when he and 13 Democratic senators decided to use strong-arm tactics by leaving the state rather than following the process. He’d

rather fight. More vengeful political behavior.

Yes, the residents of northern Wisconsin value responsible leadership. But what we’ve received from Sen. Jauch in regard to the mining bill is fear mongering, misrepresentation of facts and statutes, partisanship, criticism of a company willing to make a $1.5 billion investment in northern Wisconsin, failure to educate the public on environmental and human protections available under both current and proposed law and vengeful political behavior.

Responsible leadership should include opinions that are based on fact, not fear.

Jauch states that citizens of the north “will not be conned by deceptive and poisonous rhetoric.” That includes the partisan ideology we’ve been hearing from him ever since changes to the mining law were first proposed.

Our next issue, Wednesday, May 23, will be the final issue in which we will publish letters regarding the June 5 recall election, at the discretion of the editor. Our May 30 issue will allow candidates themselves to publish letters regarding the clarification of where they stand on issues or to respond to comments previously published. - Editor

former chief of staff of President Obama regarding the threat to Illinois’ future posed by its mounting pension and retiree health-care bills for government workers, “You won’t recruit a business, you won’t recruit a family to live here.”

The city of Detroit is a first-class example of Mr. Emanuel’s conclusions. It surprises me that a liberal Democrat would make such a statement. Apparently even they are capable of dropping into the real world from time to time.

If you want our state to follow Illinois’ path then vote to recall Scott Walker. I’m

sure Mr. Barrett is capable of putting Wisconsin in a deeper fiscal mess as he has done for the city of Milwaukee. We must stop demanding the immediate satisfaction of our wants while thinking that someone else will pay for them or that they are free. That someone else in most cases will end up to be future generations though lower living standards and decreased opportunities. Voting for Scott Walker will help ensure a brighter future for Wisconsin.

Here are two issues each of us voters needs to understand before we vote in the upcoming governor’s election.

1. Did Gov. Walker get elected Milwaukee county executive by beating the incumbent in a recall election? (Did. Check it out.) And if he did, is it OK for Walker supporters to now say they don’t like the recall process?

2. Did Walker attain the governorship

by promising to create 250,000 new jobs?

And is it true that Wisconsin is now dead last (2011) in the USA in job creation?

(Both true. Check it out.) Why did our neighbors do so much better? (Check it out.) Is that a good reason to recall Walker?

“Divide and conquer.” Those are the words, caught on video, that Gov. Scott Walker used to reassure a billionaire contributor who wanted to know if he could “make Wisconsin a completely red state, and work on these unions and become a right-to-work state.“ The story broke last week in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and was carried by many newspapers and radio and television stations throughout the nation.

This was before Walker introduced his budget adjustment bill. He told the contributor they would first start with collective bargaining for public employees because that way they’d be separated from private sector workers.

Divide and conquer.

Workers conquered, Wisconsin would become a right-to-work state, following the ALEC-designed blueprint used in Indiana, Florida and other states. Walker has repeatedly told private sector union workers who endorsed his candidacy that he wouldn’t even consider right-towork laws.

Do you think Walker will disappoint his lady billionaire donor and side with the private sector unions? After all, she recently cut him a check for $500,000.

One observer commented this video was the first time Walker got caught telling the truth.

Area news

BURNETT COUNTY - An 18-yearold Grantsburg woman lost her life in a single-vehicle rollover early Thursday morning, May 10. Tessa M. Leffelman, 18, Grantsburg, was pronounced dead at the scene by Burnett County Medical Examiner Mike Maloney. Leffelman was the only occupant of the vehicle. The crash was reported at 12:56 a.m. It occurred on North Williams Road in the Town of Wood River. This area is approximately two miles east of the village of Grantsburg. According to Chief Deputy Scott M. Burns, upon arrival deputies discovered a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am that appeared to have been traveling southbound on North Williams Road when it left the roadway and overturned, landing in a wooded area. The cause of this crash remains under investigation; but preliminary investigation indicates that excessive speed may have been a contributing factor. Leffelman was a senior at Grantsburg High School. – InterCounty Leader (www.the-leader.net) ••• RICE LAKE – A Rice Lake police officer and a local resident rescued two young boys who became stuck in a marsh after sneaking away from their baby-sitter on Saturday, May 5. The Barron County dispatch received a report of two boys, approximately 2 or 3 years of age, playing in the roadway on Montanis Avenue without shoes at 3:15 p.m.

The caller requested a welfare check, prompting Rice Lake Police Sergeant

Jacqueline Rieper to respond. Rieper and Rice Lake resident Richard Chartraw began searching a marshy, wooded area between the Montanis Avenue and Lake Montanis. They eventually located the children stuck knee-deep in the marsh at the edge of the lake and carried them to safety. The boys were scared, wet and shivering, but unharmed. It was later determined that they had snuck away from their baby-sitter. The incident has been referred to the Department of Health and Human Services. – Rice Lake Chronotype (ricelakeonline.com) ••• BARRON – Barron resident Roberta “Punky” Mosentine was inspired to go to the Kentucky Derby by the Disney movie “Secretariat.” She and daughtersin-law Tammie and Lisa Mosentine drove a dozen hours to reach Louisville Wednesday, May 2. While the three were in Kentucky, Tammie Mosentine took 800 shots with her digital camera, including panoramic views of the grandstand from the first turn at Churchill Downs, where the three women had a front-row box.

Roberta said the crowd for Saturday’s race was estimated at a record 165,000, and she was among the race fans who cheered the winner, I’ll Have Another – partly because she bet on the horse to win. The three wore stylish hats to the race, and Tammie ordered a traditional mint julep made with Kentucky bourbon. – Barron News-Shield

Summer classes offered at Spooner

SPOONER — Spooner Area Community Education will offer the following courses during this summer.

Please see Spooner School District Web site for complete listings and fee information.

Introduction to Pickleball: 6:30-8:30 p.m., Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, June 6-15, elementary school gym, instructor Tom Christopherson. Bring to class: athletic shoes and clothing, water bottle. All ages welcome.

Join this fast, action sport that had a mascot long before it had a rule book. Pickleball, bearing some resemblance to tennis, badminton and pingpong, was started by a couple of dads conniving to eliminate those summer “I’m bored” whines. It’s easy to learn, versatile, and can be played by anyone/any age on a driveway, tennis court or cul-de-sac. See why this game is taking neighborhoods by storm. Registration deadline is June 4.

ZumbaTomic: 4-5 p.m., 10 Thursdays and Fridays, June 7-29, middle school Antholz Gym lobby area, instructor Roni Tennant. Drop-in punch cards will be available at class. Bring to class: athletic shoes and clothing, water bottle. Ages 4 years to 15 years old. Forget just working out. Enjoying high-energy music and unique moves and combinations is your ticket to fitness. Mix effective body-sculpting movements with easy-to-follow, fun dance steps. Registration deadline is June 4.

Summer piano: 8 a.m.-3 p.m., half-hour time slots available, nine Tuesdays, June 12-Aug. 21, elementary school piano lab, instructor Kim Simon. All ages welcome. Please write on registration form your best times so Simon can attempt to schedule participants in an accommodating manner. No lessons will be held on July 3 or Aug. 14. Registration deadline is June 5.

Twigs at Hunt Hill: 9-5 p.m., Saturday, July 7, the Program Learning Center at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, instructor Bob McNeeley. Bring to class: your lunch, marker, tape measure, utility knife and power drill (all materials and fastening hardware provided).

O

n Tuesday, April 10, I received a call from John Frischmann. John asked to change the address on his Washburn County Register from Florida back to his Shell Lake address. We chatted for just a short time.

Also in April, I received an e-mail from John with what would be his final writing on the historic events that happened after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. John had written the column Shell Lake Happenings that appeared in the Washburn County Register for many years.

John, with his New York accent, made an impression on those he spoke with. I am sure many were called “Sweetie” as he chose to call me. Connie at Shell Lake City Hall was referred to as Miss Informed.

When addressing Clint, John would call him Captain rather than Chief of Police.

His New York dialect did make it difficult for some to understand John as he pronounced words to be spelled at the spelling bee during Town and Country Days. Beth at the library remembers a speller trying to figure out how to spell farest, which would be pronounced forest by most of us native to northern Wisconsin.

Each year when the Shell Lake State Bank served ice cream in appreciation of June Dairy Month, John would make his flavor request to Joni. I think John would have preferred but-

A beautiful piece of twig furniture awaits you at the local Hunt Hill Arboretum. Choose from one of the following: slab garden bench; whimsical twig chair; or a barn-board table. Check out the Web site, twigsrus.com, for photos to help you decide which one to make. Children are welcome as helpers, minimum age is 10. Specify which piece you wish to make on registration form.

Registration deadline is June 5.

Bent willow chair: 9-5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, July 7 and 8, the Program Learning Center at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, instructor Bob McNeeley. Bring to class: bag lunch, marker, tape measure, power drill.

Learn the craft of willow bending with step-by-step instructions from a patient instructor. Precut wood for the chair base and willow enables you to create the beautiful flowing lines of a classic bent willow chair. No experience necessary! Registration deadline is June 5.

Register for classes by calling 715-635-0243; going online at spooner.k12.wi.us under Community to get a complete listing and our registration form; mailing a registration form to Spooner Area ComEd, 801 CTH A, Spooner, WI 54801; or dropping off the registration form at the district office. Class fees must accompany registration form. Information on cost and required items for each class is available from Spooner Area Community Education and on the school’s Web site. Many classes fill quickly. Sessions will be canceled if sufficient enrollment is not received; such fees will be fully refunded.

Avoid disappointment of class cancellations, register early and invite a friend or two to register with you.

Those who register should assume they are in the class at the time and place indicated. If there is a change, participants will be notified. All SACE classes are self-funding; they depend on enrollment to cover the cost of instructors. SACE assumes no responsibility for reaching those who do not provide daytime contact information. — from SACE

ter pecan be the only flavor available.

John enjoyed big band music as well as the big band scholarship concert held the last Wednesday in June each year at the Shell Lake Arts Center.

John was a promoter of the Shell Lake Public Library, the Young Eagles Day at the airport, and of course, the annual Fourth of July boat parade of which he was the organizer.

A few years back, John came into the office at the same time my husband, Milt, stopped by. The two spent some time discussing many things and in the process John invited us to come to Florida where he promised to teach us how to play pickleball and also said we would enjoy golfing there. The trip to Florida, even with John’s invitation, didn’t materialize, and of course Milt and I don’t golf and don’t have a clue about pickleball.

I was on vacation when John passed on Tuesday, May 8. It wasn’t until the day of his Mass of Christian Burial that I learned of his death. He was just days short of his 89th birthday.

The writings of John R. Frischmann in Shell Lake Happenings have now concluded. Although, I think some of us will still hear John’s distinct voice at times, such as while waiting in line for ice cream at the bank.

May 10: Sophie Belisle, Shell Lake, called in the first monarch sighting for Shell Lake. She has followed the monarch’s arrival in Shell Lake for two years. She received a jade butterfly ring, metal butterfly bookmark, and “My Name is Butterfly” as gifts for her participation in this year’s monarch tracking.

Mike Carpenter, habitat caretaker, has the shrubs weeded. Open space was created around them. This will allow them to be visible from Hwy. 63. A layer of wet newspaper and mulch will be added around the shrubs. Residents can use the same technique to kill weeds and allow air to get around shrubs and trees.

May 11: I saw my first male monarch today. He looked like he was in good shape. Milkweed is up in Minong. Mother butterflies don’t need much, only newly emerged milkweed to lay eggs on. Later in the afternoon, I saw a female monarch searching for milkweed. She will tap the leaves and taste the plant with feet to determine if it is truly milkweed.

Mike Jensen, Lampert Lumber, in Spooner, donated building materials for a garden shed, approved by city council last fall. Happy Tonics, through a grant from Wisconsin Environmental Education, matched 50 percent of the donation. Bob Forsythe, technical education department, and students at Shell Lake School are building the shed. We are thrilled that Mr. Forsythe and his students took the project on as community outreach.

ay 8: Northwood School, Minong. I met with Shelby Ausing, parent of students at Northwood School, Josh Tomesh, principal, and Jean Serum, administrator. The school is implementing a butterfly garden on school property. I chose the site based on the gently sloped terrain. Property has native hazelnuts, chokecherry, and Juneberry growing naturally in the background near red pines. The open sandy land is visible from Hwy. 53. Land base is between a half acre for restoration and up to 1 acre for total habitat. It flanks the school entrance driveway and parking lot.

The habitat will be within easy access for students to walk to from the grade school and the charter school.

The habitat will be used as an outdoor classroom.

While walking the site, I pointed out two native wild strawberry colonies; pussy toes, host plant of painted lady butterfly; and violets, host plant of fritillary butterfly. Minor invasive spotted knapweed was evident and will need to be eradicated. The area has been mowed, which will be discontinued to allow native habitat to emerge. Happy Tonics will work in liaison with the school. We will advise with conception, landscape design, planning, planting and maintenance. Northwood School is an average of 8 miles, round trip, from my home in Minong.

May 9: JoAnn Flanagan, Oregon, Ohio, reports, “Saw several monarchs today down at the state park. Had the binoculars out biggest week in birding there. People from over 47 states in attendance.”

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake Farmers Market is in full swing again this season. Well, it’s kind of in full swing.

According to Dawn Swan, market manager for the second year, there would be a two-weekend plant sale and then it would not be in operation again for several weeks until fresh produce is available from local gardens.

This Friday afternoon, May 18, between 2-7 p.m. and then again on Saturday, May 19, from 9-3 p.m. there will be plants for sale; plants that will go into the ground and plants already potted in hanging baskets.

Skip Hoyt, plant expert from the Haugen area, has a large selection of perennials for both sun and shade and a photo book so you can see what the plant will look like when it blooms. He’s also a beekeeper, and once the market officially opens sometime in June, he’ll have his honey for sale.

This year the market is welcoming crafters along with growers with a day fee of $10 or $75 for the entire season. Growers are requested to live within a 35-mile radius of Shell Lake in order to keep the market focused on products that are comparatively locally grown.

by Diane Dryden SARONA - Actually the fling only lasted one day, Saturday, May 12, but boy-oh-boy did Hunt Hill pack a lot into one day.

If you’ve ever taken the time to drive out to Audubon Road in Sarona to enjoy the beauty of this state-owned land, 450 acres belonging to Hunt Hill with state land surrounding on all sides, you would have noticed that it’s Wisconsin in its best, pristine condition. Land that looks like it did back in the early 1900s when Arthur Andrew, a grain merchant from Minneapolis, bought the forestland for a family retreat. He named it Hunt Hill after his wife’s family name and as time went on, more property became available and not only did Andrew buy it, he asked the farmer and his family to stay on as the first caretakers.

Today the 450 acres sport hiking trails, restored native prairie plants, a bog, two foot bridges, camp buildings to accommodate 100 campers at a time and the two original Andrew family cabins, a barn and lots of space to hold a fling right in the middle of the action.

Back in the early 1980s the thought of a public fling was unthinkable because since it had become an official Audubon bird sanctuary, the only people it drew were those interested in birding. On a good year they might have entertained 200 earnest birders who were kitted out in hiking boots and clutching their bird books under the binoculars around their necks.

Naturally the place decided to close their doors, even though they were part of the huge National Audubon Society, due to a lack of interest. It reopened in 1989 with 10 people who incorporated as a nonprofit corporation, the Friends of

Under the direction of Storme Nelson and Nikky Nelson, no relation, Hunt Hill is always an exciting place to be.

Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, and secured a no-cost lease to reopen the camp under local direction. They also decided to change the itinerary to make the facility more user-friendly so they could market the facility to a wider audience.

It must have worked because there are now 400 members and their families that bring in more than 5,200 visitors a year; some for one-day activities like Cakes at the Lake, the new Prairie Fling and the two immersion camps, one in Swedish and one in Spanish, not to forget the many day camps for kids.

The mind-boggling parking scheme that had been in place originally was eliminated at this year’s fling, with offsite parking, thanks to a generous neighbor who lent her hay field down the road. Once you parked your vehicle, you

could choose to ride in a van, a golf cart, or an innovated manure spreader that had been scrupulously cleaned and retooled into what almost looked like a covered wagon. This work was done by John Brunswick who owns On Twin Lake Farms in Birchwood, also a marvelous place to visit; ontwinlakes.com Once on the Hunt Hill grounds you could shop for recycled silverware yard flowers or all matter of arts and crafts created from natural ingredients. There was music in the barn loft all day with contests and performances, going well into the evening when the Duck for the Oyster Band with caller performed for the dance.

Below the loft where soup and sandwiches and hot dogs were served, the

brats from Louie’s Finer Meats were accompanied by outstanding homemade sauerkraut and in a booth across the way you could buy maple root beer, maple caramel corn and maple cotton candy from a vendor from Ellsworth. Right across the way there were deep-fried scoop donuts, so there was no chance of going hungry. Not only could you buy a cup of great coffee, but you could even buy the fair-trade beans to make some of your own at home.

The past 10 years’ success is due in large part to directors Storme Nelson and Nikky Nelson, no relation.

They put their heads together and continue to come up with year-round activities that are truly fun for the entire family. For more information about the Audubon organization and Hunt Hill in general, go to their site, info@hunthill. org or call them directly at 715-635-6543.

I hope your Mom’s Day weekend was as blessed as mine. The weather couldn’t have been nicer and our area couldn’t have been more beautiful with so many shades of green and blue skies.

The countdown is on for school to be out. Graduation invitations are arriving and open houses are in the planning.

This time of year, it so breathtaking to go to greenhouses just to see all the different colors and kinds of blooms. It is hard to know which to buy with so many choices. The old-timer mainly ordered out of seed catalogs and had to start the seeds and bare roots and nurture the plants themselves. We’ve really got it made.

It’s lilac time. The frost did a number on mine, I think, some varieties are looking better than others.

Horseshoe leagues have started. Rummels team, inhouse women’s starts Thursday night, May 17.

Thursday noon, Mary Krantz and I attended out classmate monthly get-together. This time it was hosted

by Cecil and Shirley Scribner at their home with a good turnout, great food and a big birthday cake for most all of us as we are rolling over our odometers this year to 80, being born in 1932 and graduating in 1950.

Mother’s Day at Greg and Sue Krantz’s was celebrated with his mom, Mary Krantz, Shell Lake; daughter Ericka and kids, Lacey and Chane and her friend Lance and his daughter Krista; Matt and Christi Krantz, Ellie Mae and Ryan from Chippewa Falls. They took dinner to Sue’s folks, the Hugh and Sue Smiths. Lainy Hutton had spent some time on the weekend at Matt and Christi’s, learning baby-sitting skills.

Anton and Gloria Frey’s daughter, Jan, and Jeff had them over for an early Mom’s Day meal on Thursday evening. Pat and Laurie Frey took his folks for breakfast after church on Sunday for Mother’s Day. They made potato dumplings.

Sons Dave and Cathy of Hudson and Jim from Greenfield spent the Mom’s Day weekend at their mom’s, Virginia Stodola’s. Dave and Cathy had just returned from a 2-1/2-week trip to England. Son Jim and Linda Stodola are on a trip to China at this time. Virginia’s daughter, Sue, called from Oklahoma.

Neighbor boy Steve Frey visited and brought Virginia a meal of fresh fish all ready for the pan for Mom’s Day. The community was so proud of the Shell Lake band kids in the events at the state festival in Eau Claire a week ago Saturday. The jazz band took first for the ninth year in a row. Grandson Casey Furchtenicht took part in it. Monday night, May 7, many folks enjoyed the spring band concert in Shell Lake. On Thursday evening, May 10, the band members and families had a dish-to-pass meal together.

ICHC annual spring dinner was held Monday night at Lakeview in Shell Lake with a nice group, great food and an interesting meeting. I went along with daughterin-law Nancy Furchtenicht.

What a beautiful sun-filled day we had on Mother’s Day. Yes, it was nice to see the sun for a change. Makes a person want to get outside doesn’t it?

Happy birthday to an old-timer, Art Swan, who turns 93 years young on May 18. Have a wonderful day, Art. Happy birthday to a little guy, Liam Charles Russell, who turned 2 years old on April 19. Also to Vonnie Mogenson and to Angie Stellrecht, all on May 19, with many more to come.

A very happy anniversary to Bernard and Sandy Redding on May 19 when they enjoy that special day with lots more to come.

May 21, a very happy birthday to Jeremy Monson as he enjoys his special day with many more. Also a very happy birthday to Stacey Leach, also May 19. Have a great day.

A very special happy anniversary to Lawrence and Nina Hines on May 22 when they enjoy 58 years together. Have a wonderful day.

Happy birthday to Howard Potter on his special day, May 23. Live it up Howard.

Out here in Dewey Country we have some icky worms. Yes, we have those tent worms and it won’t be long and they’ll be out of their tents. We’re supposed to have someone come out and spray but so far we haven’t seen anyone. I think about 1974 or so we had them. They were in our hay fields and corn so as I remember all the farmers had them so we had someone come in with a plane to spray them as the corn was too high. These worms are in the area from North Bashaw Lake to Lakeview Church Road. They are icky!

I hear DeDe Elliott and the Rodney Lawrence home has been sold. Yes, Travis and Ashley Vanderhoof and their two little ones, MaKenna and Connor, have bought it and have moved most of their things over there.

My little Rory went to the beauty parlor, Emily’s, this past week for a haircut. Taking him in, I handed Rory to Emily and she said, “Oh my gosh, he has really gained weight!” She told me I had to put him on a diet. She said no more than one-fourth cup of dog food a day.

That’s so little, I feel sorry for Rory who just turned 2 on May 3. She tells me she cooks up green beans, cauliflower, carrots, etc., and feeds her dogs that if they’re hungry. Yes, and he loves human food. When I have something for a meal, he looks at me with those begging eyes, so naturally I have to give him some. As far as eating his dog food, I put one-fourth cup in his dish last Wednesday night and it just sits there. So what am I going to do? Maybe I’ll have to try eating dog food for a while. Yummy!

This past Friday night it was getting dark and all of a sudden, Rory barked and barked by the back door. I really didn’t think much about it but he kept it up, so I turned on the deck light and here was a young skunk eating my cat Kitsy’s food. I grabbed the broom and tried to push him away but he really didn’t want to

leave. So, I yelled and yelled and he finally left. About 15 minutes later, Rory was barking again. And yes, the skunk was back. So broom in hand I scared him away.

I picked up the cat dish with the food. Hopefully this will take care of the problem. Last year I left the outside door open so the cats could come in and eat. Well checking to see if the cats were eatin’ it, I found a skunk in my entryway. Richy said to just leave it alone and it would go outside by itself. I got impatient and knocked on the wall and the skunk heard it and left. Believe me I was right behind it to slam the door. All these funny things happen in Dewey Country.

Coming to Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s were Lisa Otto, Marjorie and Charlie, Pattie and Noel Beaufeaux, Mitch and Kyle, Scott and Kristen Carls, Kimmy, Jannah and Brianna and Jimmy. All went to the surprise anniversary party for Lori and Rick Klein’s 25th wedding anniversary at the Shell Lake Community Center.

Saturday, Jim and Sandy attended the rites for Sandy’s brother Richard Thompson who passed away. This was at the Taylor Funeral Home in Spooner.

Talking with Gretchen Best we find she and Jerry were at Mitch Stege’s cabin. Potluck and a lot of visiting were done. There to enjoy the potluck were Lillian Stege, Ben and Gale Kobernick and Gretchen’s sister, Barb Johnson, and her two daughters, and lots of relatives enjoying the day. Gretchen tells us Thursday she joined a group of ladies, including Lillian Stege, who loved to play 500.

Coming for Mother’s Day to Carl and Betty Meister’s were Mark and Beth Hansen, Ryan and Alyssa. All enjoyed a good meal Sunday before the Hansens left for home. Betty tells us Carl is doing well at this time.

Sonny Meister came down in the afternoon to visit.

Coming to celebrate Mother’s Day at Diane Hulleman’s were her children, granddaughters, and greatgranddaughters and great-grandsons. Diane had a feast for the gang. Sunday was quiet.

Saturday evening Penny and Jeff Ladd, Rem, Ry and Ree and Cathy Ladd and her honey, Barry Shotts, and myself enjoyed visiting and steaks at the Hilltop. The food was so good.

Graduation is upon us. We wish the graduates many, many joyful years ahead.

Rick and Janie Lauterbach and son Noah took a vacation to Disney World. Janie’s cousin Johannah Feeney stayed at the Lauterbach’s and took care of their daughter Ellianna.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Steve Crosby, 63, who died Saturday night of a heart attack, including Tony and Rhonda Crosby of Dewey Country.

Saturday evening guests at Garry and Beth Crosby’s were Glen and Lorraine Crosby, Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Ann, and Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alecia. All enjoyed Beth’s great cookin’.

Sunday found Marv and Gladys Knoop over to their daughter’s, Cathy Butenhoff’s, but Cathy had to work I understand.

Sunday, Cecil and Evelyn Melton were over to Don and Vicki Trott’s for Mother’s Day dinner and visiting, along with a couple of Vicki’s friends. Evelyn tells us

Belated birthday wishes to Fred Giesdorf. A party was held for him at Teddy Bear Tap on Saturday afternoon. He reports he was 29 again.

Sarona folks extended their condolences to the family of well-known Arvid Pederson, 96, Shell Lake, who passed away Thursday, May 10, at Terraceview Living Center in Shell Lake. He was so kind and well-liked and well-known, living in the area most of his life. Services were held at Salem Lutheran in Shell Lake on Wednesday.

John Frischmann, 88, Shell Lake, passed away May 8.

Many folks will remember him with his column, Shell Lake Happenings, in the Washburn County Register.

Sympathy is extended.

Sylvia Dvorak, 71, Rice Lake, passed away Friday.

Visitation was Wednesday evening at Skinner Funeral Home in Rice Lake and the funeral will be at Our Lady of Lords Catholic Church in Doby at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 17. Sympathy to her husband, Don, and family.

Mavis Schlapper’s kids called her with Mother’s Day wishes. On Monday, she took in the monthly soup and sandwich noon get-together at St. Catherine’s Catholic Church. She has been going to Rice Lake for therapy a couple of times a week.

My kids hosted a surprise 80th birthday party for me at Whitetail Ridge Campground Saturday afternoon. So nice. A beautiful day with a great turnout, a big cake and lots of food. They didn’t know how to get the word out. Daughter Mary knew my password so they sent it to everyone on my e-mail list and not to reply to it but to pass the message to others and to call her or Nancy if there were questions. I found out from a grandniece in Memphis, Tenn., as the invite showed up on her greeting to me when she replied. They tried to watch

my e-mails and intervene if anyone did that but that one was missed. Good try, though kids! Being I knew they didn’t have to get my local paper before I did. I was just overwhelmed by all who came to honor me in this busy world we live in. Thanks bunches.

It was so nice of Bob and Judy Juza to bring Alice Ward from Heritage Manor Nursing Home in Rice Lake and Laurie Frey brought her dad, Ken Harmon, and dear friend Eunice Granzin. It isn’t fair of me to just name a few but those surprised me. Bowling, horseshoe friends, family and friends from St. Paul and Duluth, Minn., Superior, Webster, Eau Claire, Menomonie, Hayward, Amery and close-by towns came. Daughter Cindy Wilkans, Johnnie and Denise from Illinois came up on Friday and stayed until Sunday afternoon.

Sewing by hand

by Mary B. Olsen To sew a fine seam is an art. My own sewing is nowhere near artistic. I admire the beautiful work of people who are able to produce masterpieces in cloth.

There are always some who take to it like a duck to water. These days very few people are interested in sewing. I guess it’s a specialty, rather than a necessity.

Not much has changed over the years since I was in high school.

There was a sewing class, and the home economics teacher wanted everyone to do a project. You were to choose whatever you wanted to make. Then the teacher would come to your home and see the completed project. My mother suggested a quilt. She would help me with it. The teacher told me that was not a good project. “It is all repetition.” I was to choose something else. When my mother heard that, she helped me pick out something easy to sew. The idea for a quilt stayed with us.

We found a pattern that would not be too difficult for me. It featured a sunflower. It involved appliqué, fastening the flower design to fabric squares.

Mother and I worked on that quilt from September to May. We had a small print design for the backing, and when we sewed the blocks together, we put cotton batting inside. My dad made us a frame and we hand-quilted it. We would bring it into the living room and work on it evenings. When the home ec teacher came for the home visit, she sat down and had coffee and cookies with my mother and didn’t even look at the project I made.

I put my beautiful quilt in my hope chest. It was alive with green and yellow, a pretty quilt, and I was proud we had made it ourselves. In those days, some young girls still kept a hope chest that they would fill with items like tablecloths, napkins and dresser scarves planning for their future married life. My sister and I made things. Not many girls were keeping hope chests. It was very old-fashioned. We did it, anyway. When we were working in a factory, we rode the bus to work each day, and we brought along our embroidery to work on while we commuted. Later, when we married, we didn’t have to buy nice things for our homes because we had them already.

The world of quilting is fascinating.

We look at the quilts that originated many years before we were born, it is impossible not to marvel at them. Sewn projects are preserved so we can see them, work completed in Colonial times.

Such tiny stitches. Such amazing choice of fabric and design. How could women in dimly lit cabins sew together fragments of cloth and make it a masterpiece? They made all colors of the rainbow in fabric.

They chose patterns handed down to us, things important to their lives. They made log cabin, wedding ring, stars and floral quilts. They made crazy quilts, irregular pieces of fabric sewn together into blocks and bound. They used patriotic designs, stars and stripes. They

made birds and cats and dogs. They used geometric shapes and circular patterns.

Using fabric scraps was practical, and making them into pleasing designs was rewarding. A quilt can be on a bed or hung on the wall. Because the quilt is a large project, often many hands are involved in making it. Hand-stitching can be slow.

One time I visited an Amish quilt shop in Sarasota, Fla. There was a group of ladies involved in quilting. Their needles fairly flew across the fabric in its frame.

Their light conversation, in German, went at a slower pace than their needles.

Quilting, for them, was a time of community, being together in company with others.

There is always, in any field, the desire for the latest trend, the use of newer techniques. Much of the quilting now is done by machine. Incorporating photographs and natural objects into the designs, like feathers, shells and gems. They are works of art. The pleasure of quilting, I find, is in the handwork. The process of working together on something is as important as the finished project.

My sunflower quilt saw much use, and my family wore it out after a few years.

My mother made a beautiful quilt for me. I told her I loved it, and I was keeping it in the cedar chest. She told me to take it out and use it. She said quilts are made to be used.

Academic news

GREEN BAY — Ashley Konghaug, Birchwood, with a major in interdisciplinary studies, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay on Saturday, May 12. — from TheLink ••• RIPON – Aurora Pollei, a senior history and art history major from Shell Lake, was recently honored at the 2012 Ripon College Awards Convocation, an annual event recognizing student achievement during the academic year.

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Darin G. Pollei of Shell Lake. Pollei received membership in to the Laurel Society. The Laurel Society is Ripon College’s senior honorary organization, recognizing student achievement in all disciplines.

Founded in 1965 as an honorary and service organization for junior and senior women only, it later welcomed men as well. While it has at times engaged in service activities on campus and in the community, its primary function is honorary.

Monday - Sunday only.

This is important. Mark it on your calendar. Worship service at Barronett Lutheran will be at 10 a.m. this Sunday morning, May 20. It will be held an hour later than usual because, immediately following the service, the women of the church will be hosting their annual salad luncheon in the church basement. Everyone is invited, whether you are from Barronett or not. We’ll have all kinds of salads and bars, and it’s buffet style, so you can have as much as you want. If you’d like to join us for worship service first, that would be wonderful. But, if you would like to join us just for the luncheon, that is also wonderful. We hope you can join us for good food and good fellowship.

Appreciation goes out to Teri and Boyd Aarestad from the women of Barronett Lutheran. Teri and Boyd bought flowers (begonias) from Thompson’s greenhouse and had them given out on Sunday morning. It certainly made all of us moms feel special.

We had a lot of fun at the spaghetti supper that the Barronett Civic Club members hosted last Friday evening. The food was really good, and there were lots of people to visit with.

After dinner, they had paddle raffles. In case you don’t know what that is, 20 paint stirring sticks have numbers painted on them, they sell the 20 sticks, draw a number, and the matching paint stick wins.

Well, Duane won a $20 gift certificate from one of the local sports shops. He’s not too much into sports, and knew he probably wouldn’t get around to using it, so he gave it back to Bonnie to raffle off again. When Bonnie came around selling the paddles, there were only two left by the time she got back to the Duane’s table.

Ken Olson, who was sitting next to Duane, was having a hard time deciding which of the numbers to take, so Duane reached over and took one. Ken told Duane that he had just decided on that number, so Duane gave it to him and took the other one. You know where this is going, don’t you? When Bonnie called the number, Duane won again. Funny how those things go, isn’t it?

Congratulations go out to Dillon Snowbank, who graduated from WITC in the dairy herd management program last Friday evening. Great work, Dillon! We’re all very proud of you.

Guess what? Debbie Lehmann is celebrating her fifth anniversary at the Red

Heart Lake/from pg. 16

to put on graves in the cemetery.

Sue and Larry Winner from Solon Springs came down on Sunday morning to take Helen to church and out for breakfast after.

Jeff joined them and we had a nice visit.

The Mortensen girls, Florence, Lillian, Louisa and Margaret, put on a delicious smorgasbord on Sunday after church like only they can do. Good job, girls.

A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.

Enjoy your week!

Celebrating 24 Years Of Business & Still Growing!

Brick Cafe on Wednesday, May 16. How time flies when you’re having fun. Debbie and her friendly staff of cooks and waitresses have done such a wonderful job at the cafe for the past five years. We were trying to remember how many years the cafe was closed down before Debbie bought it. I know it was a few years, but can’t remember exactly when John closed it.

Ruth Grover’s son and daughter-inlaw, Dennis and Darlene Speiser, came from Minnesota to on Saturday to wish her a happy Mother’s Day. And, Ruth got a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her daughter, Melanie Janz, who lives in Chicago, Ill. Did you ever have one of those moments when you absolutely can’t figure out what’s happening? Well, trust me, they come more and more frequently with age. Case in point — Dick Grover dialed Country Comfort one day last week.

The lady who answered the phone just said “hello.” That’s not what Dick expected of a person answering a business phone, so he asked whom he was talking to, and the lady said, “Mel.” Dick said that he had the wrong number, and hung up. Then he realized that “Mel” was Ruth’s daughter, Melanie. He still has no idea how his phone rang Melanie in Chicago when he dialed Country Comfort right in this area. Melanie is probably still trying to figure out why Dick called and hung up on her.

I’m going to have to buy more hummingbird feeders. We only have one up, and there is one little bully male who chases all the other males away from it.

Of course, being a typical male, he lets all the females come to the feeder. I figure if I hang up two or three more, he won’t be able to watch them all at once, and the other little males will be able to get something to eat.

Roger Dutilly was at the spaghetti supper and mentioned that he has been finding a lot of wild asparagus this year. He said you just have to know where to look.

I know where to look, up in our garden.

When my son, Jerry, was at home he used to find wild asparagus for us, but I wouldn’t have any idea of where to look for it.

A

little girl was trying to hug her father, but he was too tall. “Bend down, Daddy,” she cried, “so I can reach you.”

Before God sent his son into the world, he too, seemed beyond our reach. God the father became God the son and lived among us, so we could come to know and understand him. God became man in the person of his son.

Like us, he was born of a woman. But unlike us, he had no earthly father.

His life, which began without sin, was lived without sin. He went about doing good for all, healing the sick and providing hope for the crises of life. After all of the good that he did, he voluntarily went to the cross and died for our sins, expressing the love of God, his father.

He’s the same today. Right now, as always, he’s reaching out to us with his enduring and unending love.

This is a great time to reach out to him and tell him we love him and are thankful for all he’s done for us.

ICHC sponsors Mini Medics at IMC

Trenton Palmer, Mary Clark and Elliott Scott are fascinated as they look at X-rays of bones, to see what they look like inside under all the skin and muscle.

Jonathan Mortensen and Sylus Stellrecht are checking out their cool finger casts. The cast comes off easily and helps to alleviate their fears about doctors and hospitals.

Don Bruce

Don Bruce was born in Newport Beach, Calif., and lived in Costa Mesa, Calif.

“My family moved to Shell Lake after my dad died, when I was 7. My wonderful mom raised my sister, Londa, brother, Mark, sister, Connie and me all by herself. What a saint she was!

“I went to Shell Lake Schools from second grade through my senior year, graduating in 1978. I liked the fifth grade so much I took it twice. Actually, I broke my leg pretty bad that year and wasn’t able to go for half the year. I was kind of a pansy, though, too. Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Berlin are the only teachers still teaching today that taught me. They started teaching so young! I played football, baseball and basketball. Sang in the choir too.”

In 1980, Don earned an associate degree in marketing management from WITC. “I’ve had a few different jobs in my 53 short years.

Don Bruce I worked in radio for a number of years. I was at WKCF-FM which is WGMO now and at WAQE in Rice Lake which is Star 97.7 now.

Radio was really fun. I worked at Shell Lake Cooperatives which is Country Pride Cooperatives now for 14 years. I was director of environmental services at Spooner Community Memorial Hospital and Nursing Home which is Spooner Health Systems now for about six years. My family owned The Swiss Chalet, which was Trout Island Inn when we sold it, for about four years. I worked at Spooner Auto Laundry which is now Spooner … oh wait, it’s still called Spooner Auto Laundry! Currently, I work for the Town of Barronett driving truck, grader, mower etc. I have worked for the Shell Lake School District for 13 years driving bus. This is by far the most fun job I have ever had! The kids are great!

You never know what they will come up with next. Kids do say the darnedest things.

Two years ago, I transported my first second-generation kids. That’s really cool! By the second week of summer I already miss the kids and look forward for school to start.

“I like to be somewhat active in the school besides driving bus. I operate the scoreboard and do the announcing at most of the boys and girls basketball games. That’s really fun.

“My wife Laura and I had the privilege of directing the high school play this year. Laura and I have acted in numerous plays at the Quam with Theatre in the Woods but had never directed before. We had so much fun with those kids. They worked so hard and put in so much time learning lines and blocking and entrances! The kids made it so fun Laura and I look forward to do it again. We really hope we can.

“I was recently appointed to fill the unexpired term of the Ward 1 alderperson on the Shell Lake City Council. That’s something I’ve always thought about doing but haven’t.

I’m looking forward to serving the people of Ward 1 and of Shell Lake and will do my best.

“Laura and I are very active in our church, Faith Lutheran in Spooner. Laura teaches Sunday school and I serve as an elder. We enjoy attending pastor’s Bible study. As an elder, I have the privilege of reading the Scripture readings during the service. I really enjoy that!”

The Don Bruce file

football, Milwaukee Brewers baseball, and No. 27 Paul Menard on NASCAR. Place I would most like to visit: Hawaii with Laura.

Dinner companion, dead or alive: My loving wife, Laura, and Connie and David.

Laura and I so enjoy those two!

The person I most admire: Gene Harrington. I’ve known Gene well over 30 years. Gene is a very generous, honest, genuine, Christian person. He is a good friend.

Best movie I ever saw: “The Passion of the Christ.”

Favorite TV show: “Person of Interest,” Letterman goes without saying!

Music I listen to: Contemporary Christian, Life 97.3 (101.5) Favorite dish: Davey Boy’s prime rib. It’s to die for.

Last book I read: “Heaven is for Real” by Todd Burpo My friends would describe me as: Fun and unpredictable My first job was: Radio announcing on WKCF-FM (now WGMO).

Ethan Lyga is overacting his role as an accident victim in need of help.

EMTs Vanny Stanley and Warren Tuttle are amused as they show what they do when they respond to a call.

Pat Hubin shows Kristopher Daniels, much to Sylus Stellrecht’s amusement, how she listens to a heartbeat.

The students then had the opportunity to hear their own heartbeat.
