Richard D. Purfeerst was driving east on 77 when his vehicle left the roadway and went into the ditch, striking a driveway with a culvert, the impact sending the vehicle, a 2001 GMC Sierra pickup, through the air a distance of 58 feet, landing on its top. The accident occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. Funeral services were held May 19 at Boldt Funeral Home in Faribault, Minn., the former hometown of Purfeerst. – with information from Washburn County Sheriff’s Dept.

Forestry makes county over $2.5 million

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Washburn County Forestry Administrator Mike Peterson presented the county board of supervisors with the forestry annual report on Tuesday, May 15.

According to Peterson, the timber sale program took in record gross revenue of $2,551,163 in 2011, in spite of poor economic conditions.

This surpasses the previous record of $2,504,264 in 2009. Pulpwood market conditions were good throughout the entire year and saw log markets seemed to improve later in the year.

Bid rates were relatively stable, with slight increases in the per-cord rates through the year.

The July 2011 windstorm caused significant damage to the county forest. The damage was widespread, but most areas on the county forest had damage scattered in such a way that there were not enough broken trees to warrant a salvage harvest. Peterson said, “We did, however,

establish salvage timber sales on 1,400 acres.

This acreage was partially incorporated into the 2011 annual harvest goal and partially by reducing the amount of planned timber to offer in 2012.”

A total of 21 salvage sales were established.

Ten tracts were large enough to advertise and accounted for 21,000 cords on 1,100 acres.

Eleven smaller tracts were sold directly to local contractors and comprised 3,700 cords on 299 acres. Wind-damaged timber usually is worth approximately 50 percent of standing timber value, but on the advertised tracts the bid value was much higher. This is reflected in the fact that the average sold stumpage rates for 2011 were equal to or higher than 2012 in most species.

Wood markets remained strong, despite fears that the vast amount of salvage wood being See Forestry, page 3

Zoning may grandfather in short-term-rentals

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Earlier this year the Washburn County Zoning Committee decided that short-term rentals need more regulatory oversight.

After long hours of public hearings and meetings, it seems the county may simply have to grandfather in some of the pre-existing short-term rentals and a conditional use permit would not have to be approved for these properties.

On Tuesday, May 15, the county board decided to table the reconsideration of the rezoning petition of Richard Hlava and George Hlava. If the Hlavas can prove that they were legally operating before the effective date of the amendment, it will become legal under nonconforming uses. The Hlavas were approved for rezoning from residential to residential recreational 1 by the zoning committee on March 20. At the April 17 county board meeting, the board denied the approval, despite the recommended approval by the zoning

dommittee. The two separate properties owned by the Hlavas have been used for short-term rentals for a while, but after the neighbors started complaining, the county was forced to address the issue.

Web Macomber, zoning administrator for Washburn County, has been discussing short-term rentals with neighboring counties.

According to Macomber, “Prior to 2011, the Washburn County Zoning Department had never regulated this use of property. Early in 2011, the zoning committee briefly discussed the issue as a growing concern, but decided that our current ordinance lacked specific language to regulate rentals. Later that year, the issue came to the forefront again with the ‘Little Bear’ case that we are now familiar with. Due to great public pressure, the zoning committee developed a program to regulate short-term rentals with our existing ordinance.”

There was pressure from the Little Bear community in Long Lake to simply

enforce the current ordinance and stop the “business” from operating in a residential area. “We disagreed with this concept because we could not suddenly decide to interpret a rental property as a conditional use of “‘expanded home occupation,’” Macomber said. “We had never regulated rentals before… ever.

This would have instantly made violators out of hundreds of people. We looked for something that could describe the rental use that was in effect and made rental properties not available in residential zoning; hence the definition of ‘resort.’”

He added, “A cabin that is being rented out on a temporary basis technically meets the definition of resort. “A resort is listed as a conditional use permit in several districts and not residential. A program was then developed where those zoned RR1 or higher could apply for a CUP to rent out their cabin as a resort and those zoned residential could apply for a rezone to RR1 and then

harvested would flood the marketplace.

“Given the fact that most of the salvage in Burnett and Douglas counties were pine products, demand seemed to infor hardwood products. crease Approximately 30 percent of our contract salvage sales were harvested,” Peterson added.

“Throughout 2011, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry implemented their Strategic Direction Plan. This plan reduced several grant programs to county forests and restricted the number of hours available from DNR personnel to assist with timber management. These reductions had negative impacts on our program and will continue to impact the forestry department in the future.”

Loss of park ranger/deputy sheriff The loss of the park ranger/deputy sheriff position forced campground staff to rely on periodic visits from deputies or noncertified and unarmed staff to resolve violations and conflicts.

Peterson explained, “The reassignment of the park ranger/deputy sheriff position was a huge loss to the forestry department.

After the position was removed, violations and complaints immediately began to increase. Throughout the latter part of 2011, it appeared evident that the public recognized that we did not have a law enforcement presence on our forest or trails. This position was 100 percent funded by ATV and snowmobile enforcement grants and timber sale revenue. These funded sources were removed from the park

ranger position once it was absorbed by the sheriff’s department. We will investigate replacing this position at such time when the forestry committee can be assured that work duties would remain those of priority to the forestry department.”

In addition to the annual trail-maintenance funding, development and improvement grants are received by the county and are funded at a rate of 100 percent of actual costs.

Recreation The recreation program grew and expanded with several projects and funding sources.

“We continue to see increases in the number of people using the forest for numerous activities. Much of the growth of our recreation program is due to a concerted effort to provide more outdoor recreational opportunities for the public,” Peterson said.

ATVs Washburn County’s ATV trail system consists of 103.3 miles of funded summer trails and 139.3 miles of winter trails.

Annual maintenance contracts are awarded to the forestry department in the form of grants. In 2011, maintenance was awarded at the rate of $450/mile for summer trails and $100/mile for winter trails. A total of $60,715 was used to

Snowmobile activity January and February brought good snow conditions and a great deal of snowmobile activity.

“We received virtually no snow in late 2011, and trails did not open until well after Jan. 1,” Peterson added.

No trail relocations, developments, bridges or other improvement grants were received for the snowmobile program in 2011.

Annual maintenance contracts are awarded to the forestry department. In 2011, maintenance was awarded at the rate of $250/mile for snowmobile-trail maintenance. A total of $60,000 was used to maintain trails and was primarily distributed to local snowmobile clubs for equipment and material reimbursement.

the appropriate CUP. There were some provisions for “grandfathering” those who had been renting.

The ordinance needs to be amended to accurately define the use and list it as a conditional use in R, RM, RR1, RS, RR@, RA, Ag, For., and PUD/PRD, according to the zoning department.

According to Macomber, “This is a more concise way to regulate rentals. It takes the rezoning process out of the process and applicants can be evaluated on a more case-by-case basis appropriate to a CUP. Those denied could appeal to the board of adjustments, which is not allowed with rezoning. Those that have been renting before the effective date of this amendment will become legal nonconforming uses, if they can demonstrate they were legally operating. That means that they would have obtained a license from DFS. All others, when discovered, will be violations and will be allowed to apply for a CUP as part of the enforcement process.”

Campgrounds Campground registrations and revenues were higher in 2011. Revenues were up, partially due to higher usage and the fee increase that was adopted in 2008, but primarily due to a stricter adherence to registration and payment policies. The newly hired assistant recreation administrator, Mark Hile, made great efforts to assure that payment for registration and other services were made according to ordinances and policy. Totogatic Park usually had very few open sites on weekends. Sawmill Park saw a slight increase in registrations and revenues.

The forestry department contracted with DMinteractive to create a Webbased park reservation system. Data input and system design was 90 percent complete at the end of 2012 and the system went live in late January 2012.

The Harmon Lake Trailhead of the Dugan Run equestrian trail saw continued use and a slow increase in the number of users. Both trailheads were used fairly frequently and received many favorable comments, according to Peterson.

Inaccuracies, outright lies and wishful thinking

I enjoy reading the local newspapers, but the right-wing letters to the editor in recent editions are so far off base that I must respond. Reading last week’s paper, I came upon a number of inaccuracies, outright lies and wishful thinking. So, I thought I would examine them one at a time.

One writer, whining about the fact that there were not enough signatures to recall Bob Jauch, tried to spin it by saying that it was because people don’t like recalls. No, the simple fact is the people in the northland like Jauch and know that he has the best interests of this area at heart. People woud not sign the bogus recall because they want to protect our enviroment while working for safe mining. The bill Jauch op-

posed simply tried to turn over vast areas of our state to international companies without proper regulations. As for recalls in general, they are a part of our democratic process and as such help keep check and balances on radical policies like those of Scott Walker.

Another writer was crowing that there are so many Walker signs. Well, signs don’t vote. Especailly slick professionally massproduced ones bought with Koch and ABC money. The writers say they donate small amounts to GOP candidates. Trust me, the GOP cares nothing about your small donations. They only care about the big money of their corporate bosses.

The same writers offered the old mythol-

ogy that union dues go only to fund “union bosses.” Well thank heaven for unions, and no, I’m not a union member. Here are a few things that we can thank unions for: the eight-hour day, the 40-hour week, the weekend, vacations, sick leave, fair wages, health care, pensions to name a few. Unlike trickle-down economics, which never has worked and never will, union wages help raise the wages of all workers. Collective bargaining, which Walker is trying to demonize and end, is simply the process by which workers negotiate for their time and labor. Walker wants to turn Wisconsin into the Mississippi of the north by making us a right to work — a right to work for less — state. He has already accomplished part of

that by making Wisconsin 47th in jobs. We must send him and his radical ideas out of office before he does even more damage to our state.

Please vote for Barrett, Mitchell on Tuesday, June 5, and stop this insanity of rightwing radicalism.

Before you cast your vote on Tuesday, June 5, here are some facts to consider: Gov. Scott Walker’s budget turned a $3.6 billion state deficit into a surplus. For the first time in six years, school tax levies went down.

For the first time in 12 years, Wisconsin property taxes went down. Walker’s budget protects health-care coverage for seniors and the neediest families in the state. The budget was balanced while still offering employees a generous pension plan. Under Act 10, state employee contributions to pension and health care saved taxpayers more than $308 million.

According to a survey by the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators released by DPI, new teacher hires outnumber layoffs and nonrenewals by 1,799 positions. The three districts with the most teacher layoffs, Milwaukee, Kenosha, and Janesville, didn’t adopt the reforms put in place by Walker. Those districts account for 68 percent of teacher layoffs for the entire

state, but only contain 12.8 percent of Wisconsin students.

Under the governor’s reforms, the single option to change health-insurance providers has already saved school districts tens of millions of dollars so far.

Government workers now have the option of saving more than $72 million per year in union dues.

Walker paid off more than $800 million of debt left from the previous administration. The debt Walker’s administration inherited, and paid off includes $235 million to the state’s Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund as a result of an unconstitutional raid by a previous Legislature; $176.5 million Medicaid shortfall; $58.7 million to Minnesota for income tax collected from Wisconsin residents who work in Minnesota, accruing interest $4,584 per day; $20 million to the state Department of Corrections; $341.8 million in lapses leftover by the previous administra-

tion. Total $831.7 million.

Wisconsin jumped 17 spots from 2010 to 2011 in Chief Executive Magazine for best states to do business in.

As of April 23, less than one year after Act 10 went into effect, total documented savings has topped $1 billion.

I’ve listed the sources for these facts below. Don’t take my word for it, check it out. You owe it to yourself and to the state of Wisconsin to know the truth before you cast your vote on June 5.

Regardless of where you live in Washburn County, you could have short-term rental resorts, perhaps even a bar, or mobile home court on all sides of you with what is being proposed by our county zoning administrator. At the May 15 county board meeting, the board, upon the zoning administrator’s recommendation, directed the zoning committee to make it easy to rent out dwellings on a weekly basis even in a residential zone.

Is there a need for a change? Here is the history.

Last summer, zoning was alerted to homes illegally being rented out as shortterm rental resorts. It was discovered that zoning was not enforcing the ordinances.

In a residentially zoned area we want to be protected from uses that take away from a neighborhood community, safety and our investment. One has to wonder why rules need to be changed to accommodate those that violate them.

Rather than immediately enforcing the ordinances, zoning chose to advise these short-term rental operators of the application process to seek possible approval.

It was not to be a slam-dunk that permits would be automatically granted. This process should allow for neighborhood input. Enforcement date was set at April 1.

To date, zoning has granted a conditional-use permit for a short-term rental

resort to every properly zoned applicant, even when there was strong public objection. The county board has appropriately denied two adjacent property rezones.

A rezone is serious business as it stays with the property. We zone property, not people. To allow opportunities for shortterm rentals in a residential district with only a conditional-use permit would open up the whole county to short-term rental resorts in areas meant for families — home communities; not theme park resorts. As an example, one request involved two adjacent properties that advertise that they sleep 17-18 in one dwelling and 18-19 in the other; a lot of people and hard vacationing.

There are currently no new known requests for rezones or conditional use permits. The April 1 deadline for compliance has passed.

Why do our ordinances need to be changed? Certainly not to accommodate those who do not follow the rules. Is it to eliminate zoning? We urge zoning and the board to follow the rules that protect our property and the expectations we had when we bought or built our homes.

Please get involved and interact with your board supervisor and future zoning and board meetings.

The election on June 5 appears to be about jobs, but it is much more than that. It is about the solvency of the state government. Collective bargaining is an automatic pay raise. The municipality comes in with zero and the union rep with 6 percent. They settle at 3, etc., year after year.

Then suddenly you have a $6 billion deficit. Or may even end up with the Illinois or California debt load. And then everyone runs around hollering and screaming – trying to pass the painful results to someone else. And the state cannot

raise the debt ceiling or print funny money as the federal government. How many are willing to invest in an enterprise that is going down the drain?

The private sector companies can move to Mexico or buy their merchandise from China or wherever. Those jobs are gone.

But the government has a monopoly, so there is no move – either fiscal responsibly or bankruptcy. And no one benefits from bankruptcy.

And if the Democrats and their friends are really so concerned about jobs, why

did they help kill the proposed mining project? And how can a small business create jobs if they are going to be taxed or regulated out of business? And why is it that the only jobs that are important enough to preserve are in the public sector?

The public employee’s paycheck doesn’t come from the government, the government hasn’t any money except what it collects in taxes. And those taxes come from the private sector. Public employees say, “We pay taxes, too!” But that money still comes from the private sector as part of

their paycheck. It is the private sector that creates most of the real wealth.

The private sector is the goose that lays the golden egg. All employees, private and public, should take extreme care to see that goose is well fed and happy.

Poor people have an equal vote to rich people. There are more poor people living in our county than rich people. There is an important vote coming up on Tuesday, June 5. The governor, whose policies have been so very bad for poor people, has spent the last six months traveling around the country raising millions of dollars from billionaires that don’t live in our county. He raised all that money from those out-of-state people so that he can have lots of fancy yard signs and lots of TV ads, not so that he can help poor people and single mothers live a happier life.

If all the poor people and single moms plan ahead to go vote on June 5, even if that means taking the kids along to the

voting location, like I have done, then we can vote out this governor and replace him with one that will help poor people live better lives and who will help single moms have an easier time getting on and staying on BadgerCare and FoodShare, which will help our county’s poorer children have lives that are a little happier and healthier.

Go find out today where your voting place is. All you need to vote is some identification that shows where you live.

It is every American’s right to vote. Don’t let the rich people take that away from you, too. Join me at the voting booth on June 5 and vote for Tom Barrett for governor and Mahlon Mitchell for lieutenant governor, both of them are Democrats.

No one else will know who you voted for because it is a private vote. And remember, in this country it is one person, one vote. So if all the poor people vote we will outnumber that handful of rich people that paid for our current governor and we will win back some dignity for our lives and our community which is mostly poor people. Vote for a happier life with Barrett and Mitchell.

Signs and TV ads don’t vote; money doesn’t vote people do. Use your right.

Go vote June 5.

Don’t let the rich people take your vote away from you

Sportsmen alert

Lies and distortions abound concerning Gov. Walker, but here’s a fact that can’t be twisted or distorted. And if you’re an active sportsman and hunter, spread this word.

The National Rifle Association has a scorecard on both Walker and his recall challenger, Barrett. Considering their personal philosophy and actions, the NRA gives Walker an A, and the recall challenger Barrett is given an F. This scorecard means a lot to hunters and sportsmen. It’s a warning of changes that could drastically and negatively affect the great outdoor way of life for many in Northwest Wisconsin.

Get the word out and then get out on Tuesday, June 5, and keep a prosportsman in office. Vote for Scott Walker and keep your gun rights.

Area news

LUCK — Centenarian siblings recently celebrated their May birthdays in Luck.

Herbert Lundborg, 101, and Florence Anderson, 102, celebrated at the United Pioneer Home. Their younger brother, Ralph, Minneapolis, Minn., will also hit the century mark later this year. — from the InterCounty Leader ••• EUREKA CENTER — A mysterious box that landed in a tree by Eureka Center a couple of weeks ago turned into a great science lesson for second-graders at Frederic. It also put Frederic second-grade teacher Stacy Cox on KARE 11 News. The story began when Cox was playing outside with her children, Kaleb, 6, and Kyra, 4.

They saw a strange sight in one of the trees on their property. Hanging from a balloon was what looked like a plastic foam cooler.

Inside were cameras and a GPS unit but no note. The equipment was high-quality, said Cox. Viewing what was caught on video, she realized that the balloon and box were part of a school project. After putting new batteries in the GPS, Cox was contacted by a teacher in Bel Air Elementary School in New Brighton, Minn. The students there were practicing for their Peace Day celebration, when they would send a balloon with cameras 15 miles above the Earth to put their school and community into a broader context. Unfortunately, during the practice run, the fishing line that held the balloon and cooler to the ground snapped, sending it all into the air. Because the batteries in the GPS died, the school could not track where their equipment landed. Cox’s children and students enjoyed watching the videos. “The balloon went up so high that you could see the curvature of the Earth,” Cox said. “They were amazed with it.” — from the Inter-County Leader •••

RICE LAKE — A lone male suspect remains at large after holding up a Rice Lake restaurant on Thursday, May 10, according to the city police department. Police said that at the request of the owner, the name of the restaurant wasn’t being released immediately. But they did say the business is on the south side of Rice Lake.

A suspect walked into the restaurant shortly after 9 p.m. and gave a restaurant employee a note demanding money. The man didn’t display a weapon, but his behavior was serious and assertive, so the employee turned over an undetermined amount of money. The suspect then fled on foot. — from the Barron News-Shield ••• RICE LAKE — Men and women making their living in the maritime industry put in long weeks on the water. The time spent working watches and shifts on boats can be anywhere from several weeks to a couple of months without the crew ever stepping foot on dry land. Crews can be found aboard towboats, offshore vessels, harbor tugs, buoy tenders and dredges.

The congregation of Grace Episcopal Church in Rice Lake is doing its part in making the nonworking hours of crew members a little easier by providing some simple entertainment. More than 300 books and DVDs have been collected and delivered by the Rice Lake congregation through a projected called Books for Boats.

The ongoing project continues to fill the libraries on each of the two boats adopted by the church. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype

t is graduation time. For this week, I thought it would be appropriate to share a variety of quotes and advice that others have written.

••• “No steam or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined.” ~ Harry E. Fosdick ••• “Self-discipline and self-motivation are joined at the hip. Why is that? When you practice self-discipline you feel like you are in control of your life. You feel content and motivated because you’re moving toward your goals.” ~ unknown ••• “Success is tons of discipline.” ~ Al Tomsik ••• “If I had to pick the No. 1 key to success, it would be ... self-discipline. It is the differ-

ence in winning or losing; between greatness and mediocrity.” ~ Brian Tracy ••• “Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.” ~ Thomas Huxley ••• “Self-discipline is the key to personal greatness. It is the magic quality that opens all doors for you and makes everything else possible. With self-discipline, the average person can rise as far and as fast as his talents and intelligence can take him. But without selfdiscipline, a person with every blessing of background, education and opportunity will seldom rise above mediocrity.” ~ Kop Kopmeyer ••• “A few nuggets that will help make your dreams come true are character, time management, personal health, money, courage and responsibility.” ~ Unknown

ay 14: What a day for butterflies. I watched a mother monarch butterfly fluttering low to the ground as she searched for milkweed. She located plants near my kitchen garden. I witnessed the butterfly laying eggs on tiny milkweed plants. When you look closely, one will notice that the butterfly tips her abdomen to the underside of milkweed leaves. More often than not, the air current is less windy close to the ground, making it easier for a butterfly to deposit eggs on tiny milkweed. This wasn’t the only species of butterflies seen. There were Canada swallowtail, black swallowtail, coppers, fritillary and Milbert’s tortoiseshell butterflies. Monday’s temperature was a balmy 82-degrees Fahrenheit sunny day, a perfect day for butterflies.

May 17: I was a guest speaker at Mrs. LaFave’s kindergarten class at Shell Lake Primary School. Children love butterflies. LaFave teaches students about monarch biology and the butterfly’s life cycle. One student brought in a deceased monarch to show me. Another student raised his hand and proudly told the class that he had raised a painted lady butterfly at home. I was amazed. He said that he fed the adult butterfly sugar water when it emerged as an adult butterfly. The students have such an interest in nature, be it butterflies, bees or native plants. We did get a bit off topic when the class wanted to tell me personal bee stories. I found that of interest because bees are suffering a decline. It is wonderful that children are connected to nature and insects. Someday these very children will be the next generation to protect the natural world.

Mary Ellen Ryall with Mrs. LaFave’s Shell Lake kindergarten class on Thursday, May 17.

Volunteers met at the Happy Tonics Visitors Center in Shell Lake. We talked about the Monarch Butterfly Habitat and ways we are working together to bring this rich environmental land-based project

forward in the 2012 season. Jim VanMoorleham is going to the stain signs that the tech ed class made at 2012 Experience Works referred Shell Lake employee Mike Carpenter along School. Joan is with volunteers Joan Quenan and Quenan going to buy Jim VanMoorleham. — Photos subsome white mitted vinegar to start eradicating invasive spotted knapweed. Yes, it is true. Vinegar kills the invasive species; however, it will kill everything around it, too. We are not concerned with killing bird’s-foot trefoil in area three along with spotted knapweed. Both plants are replacing native species.

The Monarch Butterfly Habitat is alive with crickets. We saw hundreds of monarch eggs on milkweed plants. Milkweed has finally taken off and there are milkweed plants throughout the habitat. All things point to a bumper crop of monarchs at the habitat this year. We will be marking plants and putting up a Journey North butterfly screened tent to view the life cycle of the butterfly.

Visitors will be able to observe monarch butterfly conservation in action this year.

Farm and Greenhouse.

Thank you, Steve Degner, for delivering the enriched soil. We are getting ready to plant a Three Sisters garden as a teaching garden. People will have an opportunity to learn about healthy organic native crops – corn, beans and squash. Native seed means that the seed originated in the Americas. This type of garden allows nitrogen from growing the beans to be added to the soil to replenish good nutrients that corn depletes. The squash is a natural ground cover and holds moisture. Along with this, the group is planning to plant gourds, within the squash family. Hopefully these will produce future gourd houses for the habitat.

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE — As you travel around Shell Lake and stop at various businesses, you’ll notice a fireman’s boot displayed with a sign in front asking for donations to be dropped into the boot.

The donations will be used for the hour of magic that brings thousands of people into Shell Lake each year carrying their beach blankets and holding their children for the sole purpose of watching the breathtaking fireworks display annually on July 3.

But the fireworks don’t pay for themselves. Shell Lake spends close to $4,000 each year for their sound and light show. Again this year, they are asking you to put something forward to help fund this once-a-year celebration.

There will also be several 50/50 raffles that night with 50 percent of the winnings split between the chamber and fire department and the other half going to the lucky winner in the form of ready cash.

Terry Leckel, fundraising coordinator, wants to remind people that their contributions are tax deductible and to give generously to the fireworks fund so it can continue to be the best in the area.

Chuck Revak Memorial Fishing Day for kids. Revak loved the outdoors, and teaching kids how to fish was one of his many passions. To honor his memory and continue his legacy, a day to celebrate kids and fishing will be held at the Veterans Memorial Park in Spooner on Saturday, June 2, from 10 a.m.-noon. All fishing equipment will be provided, and plenty of trained staff will guide the kids through four different stations— casting, knot tying, fish identification, and fishing rules and safety tips. This is also a free event. This event is staffed and sponsored by the Lakeland Family Resource Center, the Department of Natural Resources, and the family and friends of Chuck Revak.

Building memories with your children and grandchildren is priceless. Time spent together is invaluable.

Come make sweet memories and bring your children fishing, and then go to the Washburn County Family Festival for an amazing day. What a great way to kick off summer. — from LFRC

It was a time to remember

A 21-gun salute rang out just before taps were played. — Photos submitted

This wreath was laid under the flagpole for the ceremony, and it now sits in the Washburn County Law Enforcement building’s foyer.

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE – Knowing that National Law Enforcement Week was coming up May 13-19, Washburn County chaplain to the employees, Darrel Flaming, requested an official observance be held Tuesday, May 15, at the flagpole outside of the law enforcement center in Shell Lake. His request was granted. Flaming, new to the area, pulled together everything needed for a very moving half-hour ceremony. Many tears were shed by the almost 70 people in attendance as they listened to the words honoring those who had served as Washburn County law enforcement officers and deputies, and who had died.

Washburn County Chaplain Darrel Flaming spoke a few words about honoring those who had died at this, the first-annual Memorial Day for law enforcement.

After a short welcome by Sheriff Terry Dryden, the invocation was given by jail Chaplain Tim Terrill. The national anthem was sung by a select group of high school students. Flaming gave a brief and moving soliloquy, after which Chief Deputy Mike Richter read the names of those they came to salute and remember.

A wreath was placed at the flagpole and a 21-gun salute was given, followed by taps. Washburn County Jail Chaplain John Mizerka closed in prayer. The wreath now stands in the law enforcement center’s foyer under the special case created to honor those who died and are still missed very much.

Washburn County Prescription Drug TakeBack Day a success

WASHBURN COUNTY — Washburn County held their Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 28. This event was held at the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department in conjunction with the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Incentive Program.

The goal of the Take-Back Day was to promote a free, safe and anonymous way to get rid of expired and unwanted medications. Disposing of one’s medications in this way has a positive effect on families through making the home safer, communities through preventing theft and misuse of medications, and the environment through proper disposal of the medications.

Deputy Pete Frey from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department stated, “The results of the pill collection were a huge success! Over 40 pounds of pills were taken in.” The sheriff’s department also wants to remind Washburn County residents that they can bring unwanted prescription drugs to the collection box and properly dispose of them Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.4 p.m. aside from the Take-Back Day. The collection box is located at the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department at 421 Hwy. 63, Shell Lake. Residents are encouraged to bring in medications such as prescription medications, controlled and noncontrolled, over-thecounter medications, medication samples or vitamins.

Items not accepted include needles, IV bags, bloody or infectious waste, empty containers, aerosol cans and liquid medications. — from New Paradigm Partners

by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — The girls extended their record to 19-1 with their 10-9 and 43 win over Division 2 Amery Warriors on Friday, May 18, before their home-field fans.

The Lakers started out the week with an 8-7 nonconference win over Unity on Tuesday, May 15, and a 13-0 conference win over Clear Lake. That win gave them the undefeated conference title in their last conference game of the season.

Shell Lake got off to a 2-1 lead over Unity in the first inning when Kayla Blazer got a two-run RBI scoring Erica Kozial and Amy Bouchard. They made it 6-1 in the second when Jen Connell, Emmalee Statz, Kozial and Katie Gronning scored. Unity took a 7-6 lead in the sixth inning when they scored six runs on three hits. Kozial ripped a triple in the bottom of the sixth and scored on a Kristen Kraetke single. Hailey Flach scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Amery scored first in the first game with Shell Lake, but Shell Lake came right back and tied it up in the bottom of the inning. Shell Lake took the lead in the second inning with runs from Allison Socha and Gronning. Amery stayed in the game and tied it up 8-8 in the sixth inning. Going into the extra inning, Amery took the lead only to have Shell Lake come back when Bouchard tied it up after she singled and scored on a passed ball. Kaylea Kidder scored the winning run on an error after she got on base with a single and advanced on a bunt and passed ball.

by Larry Samson PRAIRIE FARM — It was a big week for the Shell Lake High School baseball team as they wind down the season. The Lakers finished up the regular season with a seventh-inning come-from-behind 11-10 win over Prairie Farm on Monday, May 21.

Shell Lake was down, 10-3, when the Laker bats came to life and scored eight runs. Prairie Farm came to bat in the bottom of the seventh. Shell Lake was facing the top of their batting order. The first batter got on with a single, the next batter hit a deep fly to left for an out. Second baseman Jesse Gronning caught a line drive and threw the runner out at first for a double play for the game.

Shell Lake finished the season 6-4 in the Central Lakeland Conference and are in solo position in third place.

Shell Lake started out the week with a 5-1 nonconference win over St. Croix Falls on Tuesday, May 15, and a 19-4 win over Clear Lake on Thursday, May 17. They finished out the week with a 12-11 loss to Luck/Frederic on Friday, May 18, in a home game.

Shell Lake will play New Auburn in the first game of the regionals on Friday, May 25, in Shell Lake with a 5 p.m. start. New Auburn is 0-12 in the East Lakeland Conference and Shell Lake should advance with a win. The winner of that game will play Prairie Farm in the second round on Tuesday, May 29, at Prairie Farm. The third and final game of the regionals will be held at Bruce on Wednesday, May 30.

America’s finest women paddle America’s finest river ST. CROIX FALLS — Sometimes, a paddle down the river is more than just a paddle down the river.

For one group of Wisconsin female military veterans and veteran advocates, a canoeing excursion on the Namekagon River was a chance to share stories, build friendships, and get to know one of America’s national parks.

Coined America’s Finest Women Paddle America’s Finest River, the Wednesday, May 9, event featured a 10-mile paddle from Whispering Pines to McDowell Bridge on the Namekagon River, part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The National Park Service and the Wisconsin county veteran service offices organized the event. Canoes on Wheels provided canoes free of charge.

Twelve women from throughout the state of Wisconsin attended. All of these women work as advocates for local veterans, and eight of these women are veterans themselves. National Park Rangers also participated in the paddle.

Branda Thwaits, the Riverway’s Upper District interpretive ranger, commented that, “Days like this remind me of the power of the river to bring people together. I was also struck by the commitment of these ladies, not only during their time in the military, but their continued commitment to their fellow veterans. This truly was a day where America’s finest paddled America’s finest. ” This trip was made possible through the hard work and support of Doug Stubbe, Lisa McNeally and Dawn Anderson from the Burnett, Washburn and Barron County veteran service offices.

The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway is currently in the planning stages of more veteran-focused paddles and events. Stay tuned to www.nps.gov/ sacn for updates, and contact Thwaits at 715-635-8346 if you’re interested in participating in or helping with future veterans activities. — from NPS

Political signs along right of way are illegal, potentially dangerous and will be removed

STATEWIDE — With a major election set for Tuesday, June 5, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is reminding citizens that state law prohibits the placement of any type of sign, including political, commercial or garage sale signs, on state highway rights of way.

“We certainly don’t want to discourage anyone from participating in elections, but signs within highway rights of way are a public safety concern,” said Deb Brucaya with WisDOT’s Bureau of Highway Maintenance. “Improperly placed campaign signs can distract motorists or obstruct their view, especially at intersections. And when people enter an intersection or highway right of way to install a sign, they’re putting their own safety at risk, as well as risking the safety of the road crew worker who will remove the sign.”

Other than official traffic signs, state law prohibits the placement of signs within state highway rights of way. The state highway system includes all numbered state, federal and interstate highways. In general, state highway rights of way in rural areas extend to beyond shoulders, ditches and any adjoining fence line. In urban areas along the state highway system, signs are prohibited from the roadway area to at least one foot past the sidewalk.

Signposts, street name marker posts and most utility poles are all within highway rights of way. Signs are not al-

lowed within highway medians or roundabouts. With the landowner’s consent, political signs are permitted on private property without a billboard permit as long as the signs do not exceed 32 square feet and contain no flashing lights or moving parts.

Improperly located signs are dealt with as part of regular highway maintenance. A sign that poses a traffic safety hazard will be promptly removed. Road crews are asked to make reasonable attempts to preserve campaign signs that are taken down and to provide campaign offices an opportunity to claim the signs.

“Remember, if you see road maintenance workers removing illegal signs, they’re simply following our directions to enforce state law and help keep our roadways as safe as possible for all travelers,” Brucaya said.

State law, Section 86.19, provides for a fine from $10 to $100 for signs that violate state law. Local municipalities may have additional guidelines regulating the placement of political signs along county highways or local roads and streets.

More information on state laws pertaining to the placement of political signs can be found on the WisDOT Web site at www.dot.wisconsin.gov/business/rules /property-signs-political.htm. — from WisDOT

Dewey Country

It was a cold and rainy day in Dewey Country on Sunday. Yes, we find our Dewey Country weatherman, Marv Knoop, telling us we got three-tenths of an inch by noon. And we certainly needed the rain, as it’s very dry. I for one will never condemn the rain, as it seems we always need it.

Happy anniversary to Kate and Andrew Melton as they celebrate on May 25. Many more to you.

A very happy birthday to Bess Smith as she celebrates her special day, May 25.

Many more Bess.

May 26, a very happy birthday to Norma LaVeau and to Heleyna Benjamin on their special day.

A very happy anniversary to Dean and Nancy Bergquist as they celebrate their 34th wedding anniversary, with many more to come.

Happy birthday to Buzz LaPorte as he enjoys his special day with lots more to come.

Happy birthday to Judy Cornelison on May 29 when she celebrates her special day with lots more to come.

May 30, it’s happy birthday to Mable Washkuhn on her special day with many more.

Happy birthday to Austin Stellrecht, as he enjoys his special day, with more to come. He is the little grandson of Ann Stellrecht.

Happy birthday to Don Denotter, Debbie LaVeau and Spencer Redding, all May 31, with many more wished.

Our deepest sympathy to the families of Arvid Pederson and John Frischmann.

They will be missed.

Early Thursday morning, May 17, they sprayed for those tent worms. It’s nice to have it done but they didn’t get the three apple trees in my yard. Hopefully they’ll come through again.

I hear one farmer has started cutting hay and still putting in crops. I didn’t think the hay was that high yet to cut.

Talking with Jim Toll, who has a bad cold, he tells us his son, Dave, was up doing lots of chores. Hopefully you’re feeling better now, Jim. My daughter, Paula Cramer, came home early Saturday morning, May 19.

While here she cut and mowed where I couldn’t get with the lawn mower and helped with lots of chores. Later Penny, Ree and Ry came and that evening we went out to enjoy supper together. Penny left for home and Paula stayed overnight. She left Sunday morning.

Those two little granddaughters are such fun. They even brought in a tent worm, which we told them to step on. Yuck!

Saturday, the Reddings children, Tim and Chris Redding, Tanner and Chase, Jeff and Dee Redding, Andrea and Spencer, Robyn and Robin Major, Christopher and James, and Dawn and Bill Kane, Heather and Michael came to the Reddings for a party. All enjoyed a great time, as it was the Bernard Reddings 50th wedding anniversary. Congratulations to Bernard and Sandy.

Friday night, some of the Clam River Tuesday Club members were at the Reddings helping them celebrate with a cake and other goodies.

I made a boo-boo. It was Maronda (Mrs. Tony) Klassa’s father, Steve Crosby,

by Pauline Lawrence

who passed away recently. Sorry about that.

Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan were home at the Crosbys this weekend. While here Beth and Garry hosted a grill-out with Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie, Alycia, Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Ann, Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase and Morgan, and Glen and Lorraine Crosby enjoying the feast. Saturday Beth attended 3-year-old Gabby Denver’s dance recital at Amery and said it was so good and cute.

Gretchen Best tells us they have their garden in. An early bird gets the worm?

Butch and Loretta VanSelus tell us they took Amtrak to Havre, Mont. They were picked up and from there they went to Napa, Mont., for the graduation from college of Tammy Powell. Tammy graduated from the NW Nazarene College on May 5. Loretta said they rode for 19 hours on the train going out. While there, they visited a number of sites. They went to Paula and John Powell’s for Tammy’s reception. The VanSeluses came home Wednesday, May 16, by Amtrak.

Talking with Cecil Melton we find he is in a lot of pain. That’s due to his knee and his hip. We hope you’re feeling much better soon, Cecil.

Talking with Janie Lauterbach she said they got back Saturday from their trip to Walt Disney World in Florida. Noah loved the Space Mountain and the three of them went on it five times. Janie said it rained every day and was very humid.

Noah will be graduating Wednesday evening from the Faith Lutheran School and in the fall will be going to St. Francis.

This past weekend was work weekend at Diane Hulleman’s. The group mostly worked on her floor in the porch of her house. Coming to work were Jackie Perlt and sons Ryan and Nick and Jackie’s fiancé Elraine, Colleen and Chad Jensen and Izzy, Nancy and Mike Murray, Shannon Champeny and girls Marlie and Gabby, Nicole and Jameson, Steve Hulleman, Jack and Ginny Schnell, Kate and Amanda and Aaron. Diane made lots of food on Friday from soup to delicious pies. I can see why everyone came, just to have a slice of Diane’s pie. Saturday evening, they all went out to celebrate Diane’s birthday. During the week Robin, a friend of Diane’s from work, went to buy a lot of plants.

Sunday, Jim and Sandy Atkinson went to Hibbing, Minn., to attend the 100th birthday for their aunt. Sandy says she lives in her own home and is sharp as a tack. She says the aunt hunted deer until she was 84.

Congratulations to Christy Spaulding and Jeremy Spexet who were married at the bride’s parents’ farm. A reception and dance followed. Christy is the daughter of Chuck and Sue Spaulding.

We wish the newlyweds many happy years together. Chuck tells us he has hired Brad Draves to put up a freestall barn, as the newlyweds want to farm. He says the couple has a house nearby. The newlyweds went on a honeymoon to Yellowstone National Park.

Scatter sunshine.

Have a great week!

ig Al loved his vintage car more than anything in the world. When he died, a chauffeur led the funeral procession to the cemetery in his vehicle.

Even though the burial service was brief, someone had time to steal his car while the mourners bowed their heads in prayer. Realizing what had happened, a friend said, “I guess you can’t be too careful even at your own funeral.

You never know what might happen after you die.”

But we can know without a doubt what will happen after we die. We know that God loves us and that we are very dear to him. We also know that a car can take us many places, but not to heaven. Only our faith in the Lord can do that. When he calls us home to heaven, if our faith is in him, he will bring us into his presence, and we will enjoy eternity with him forever.

Free clinic approaching second year in operation

RICE LAKE — The Rice Lake Area Free Clinic is quickly approaching its second year in operation. The clinic is open the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month.

The clinic is having the third-annual Eat Out for Free Clinic fundraiser Thursday, June 7. Restaurants that are hosting the event are Foxxy’s in Spooner and The Spooner Market & Grill, Pair O Lakes in Spooner, Ad-

ventures in Rice Lake, Drag’s Restaurant in Rice Lake and Bistro 63 in Barronett. Each restaurant will be donating a percentage of their gross sales for the night to the Rice Lake Area Free Clinic. There will also be members of the free clinic at each location to answer questions that evening. Everyone who attends will have the opportunity to donate as they see fit. — from RLAFC

The members of Barronett Lutheran appreciate Joel Kreger for filling in for Pastor Todd Ahneman on Sunday morning.

We had a really good turnout for the spring salad luncheon at Barronett Lutheran on Sunday morning.

There were a lot of guests from around the area, and we hope they know how much we appreciate the fact that they took the time to come and have lunch with us. We went through a lot of the salads and desserts, but still had leftovers. It seems that most of the women of Barronett Lutheran love to prepare all kinds of food, and we just don’t know when to quit. Maybe someday we’ll come out even on the guests-to-food ratio.

Pat Olson and I went to Duluth, Minn., with Art Adams on May 14 to attend the Lake Superior College graduation ceremony at Duluth Entertainment Convention Center. Alec graduated from fire technology and administration. We are so proud of him. Alec decided that he wanted to be a firefighter years ago, and he has certainly followed through. We wish him all the best as he starts his new career.

There was a Tough Mudder contest held in Somerset on Saturday, and, unfortunately, my kids and grandkids were not taught to practice self-preservation. They, Jim and Summer Marsh, Tenille Lehmann and Chris Demars, Miriah Lehmann and Beau Olson, along with lots of their friends and other people who were temporarily out of their minds, entered a contest where they had to slog through mud, go through culverts partially filled with water and mud, climb a wall that was almost impossible to climb and run through electric wires. Sound like your idea of fun? Not mine! I had seen a video of a Tough Mudder contest before the kids had to compete in this one, and I have been worried about them for months. I guess they are all a lot tougher than I thought, because every one of them — and all of their teammates and friends — finished the contest. If you’re on Facebook, I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures.

There are before, during and after pictures of Jim and Summer and their team, the Toasted Peeps. I’m glad it’s over, and I bet they are too. They all said, though, that they will do another one. Craziness!

On Tuesday Lynn Thon, Kandice Bonander and I went to Eau Claire for a girls’ day out. We had a blast.

We had a pedicure, manicure, haircut, and bought some fun new clothes. We had lunch.

Can anyone out there tell me how mothers with little children get anything done? I love my little grandson, Wriggley, and great-granddaughter, Tru, and when their parents asked if I could watch them, I said that I would be glad to. I had Wriggley overnight, and Tru for just a couple of hours on Saturday evening, but I absolutely could not keep up with them. While I was pick-

ing up the phone from the floor where Wriggley had dropped it, he was in the kitchen playing cymbals with pan lids. While I was putting them back, Tru was carrying the kitchen rug into the front room. I finally decided that keeping the house neat was not nearly as important as having fun with them. Anyway, after just a few hours the house looked like a disaster zone. They are the most precious little things, and I’ll watch them again whenever I can, but I certainly have a new appreciation for all the work young mothers (and dads) do.

Terry Goodrich called this past week and said that he now knows exactly how guys feel who work two days to change a liquid-filled tractor tire when they could have called an expert who would have fixed it in less than an hour. But Terry’s experience was with a washing machine. Seems that Terry finally got around to his spring cleaning, you know, those pesky sheets really have to be done twice a year — once in the spring and once in the fall. Well, he put the sheets in the machine, and it filled and started agitating. But it wouldn’t pump the water out or spin. Well, Terry knows something about machines and electricity so he decided to save himself the price of a service call. He checked out the lid switch, and that was working just fine. He checked out the 24 connections on the timer and couldn’t see any reason that they wouldn’t work. After about two hours of pondering, he started calling around to see what new parts would cost. He spent another two hours trying to get a human to answer the phone, and finally one did. He found out the new part would cost $146, and a new washer would cost between $400 and $500. This information caused him to ponder a little more. You probably know that Terry has dogs, and that his dogs love to chew on bones. The bone splinters end up all over the place, and Terry picks them up so that he doesn’t run over them and get them in a tire. Well, he had picked up a bone splinter and put it in his shirt pocket, planning to put it in the garbage on his way past. He forgot about it — fancy that — and when he washed his shirt he cleaned out his pocket and put the bone splinter where he piles all the rest of his miscellaneous stuff — nuts, bolts, washers — in the area on the top, inside the washer, that is made to add bleach. Real men don’t use bleach, according to Terry, so he makes better use for that pocket. When the bone was added to the stuff that had already accumulated in the bleach pocket, it held the lid of the washer up just far enough to keep the machine from going into the spin cycle.

Poor Terry had wasted at least four hours of his life on a washing machine lid that wasn’t quite closed. And when you get to be Terry’s age, every hour counts.

I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. See you next time.

Area Writer’s corner To the Youth

by Shirl Yeazle Study hard, get good grades, So when the time comes, You’re ready to graduate.

You may think at the age 18, You’ll never get old, And you don’t like to be told, Get a job, Save for the future.

As the news tells you, No SS when you retire.

Save your bucks now, Don’t end up in the fire.

Youth is fun, And you don’t think you will ever be old.

And low and behold, You’re 60.

What does you future hold?

Don’t get caught with your pants down, Or hanging from a limb.

Plan for the future, Before you sink and not swim.

Sarona by Marian Furchtenicht

A little rain fell and some small hailstones on Sunday when it cooled off so fast. It helped some with the fire danger for our area and its badly needed moisture.

One can see those neat rows of corn coming in the cornfields and folks have been busy planting gardens and buying plants.

Rivard: Wisconsin headed in the right Direction Job numbers and budget surplus show reforms working

RICE LAKE — Rep. Roger Rivard, R-Rice Lake, was pleased to learn about the most recent job numbers, released from the Department of Workforce Development showing a net gain of over 23,300 jobs in 2011.

“These numbers show an improvement in Wisconsin’s economy,” said Rivard. “The work that we have conducted over the past year is starting to pay dividends. While there is much we can do to continue to improve our state, we are headed in the right direction.”

The number released last week by DWD surveys 96 percent of Wisconsin employers and is generally seen as the most accurate measure of the labor force. While monthly job numbers are released by DWD as well, they only represent around 3.5 percent of Wisconsin businesses and is not generally accepted as the most accurate measure of job growth or decline.

“This news, coupled with the recently announced $154 million surplus from the Department of Revenue, is great news for our state,” continued Rivard. “Climbing out of this economic crisis has not been easy for anybody, but I have kept my promise to help create jobs and balance our state budget without raising taxes.”

But before I talk about this coming summer, I would like to extend gratitude to everyone for his or her cooperation during last year’s inspection program. For the most part, everyone was very understanding at the landing and what the program means to accomplish. A combined effort from boaters and inspectors has kept our lake safe from invasive species for another year. We inspected 2,478 boats and issued 765 daily permits and 1,713 annual permits last year.

Out of the 2,478 boats inspected last year, only 83 carried vegetation and required cleaning. Thanks to all the boaters who inspected their boats before coming to the landing.

We now have enough people back from school to inspect seven days a week, and we are at the landing from 6 a.m.-8 p.m. Any time during this period an inspector will be present to inspect boats, issue permits, give information about invasive species, or even give the latest fishing report. We are there to give you assistance and information at the landing so please come pay us a visit.

These past two weeks we inspected 211 boats and issued 76 annual permits and 60 daily per-

that showed Wisconsin will end the biennium approximately $154 million in the black. The projection is based on larger than expected collections through April.

Sarona folks extend condolences to Dick Gruenhagen, 72, Rice Lake, known for his great singing, and guitar and banjo playing. He was from the Brill area and was a mechanic and had Brill Excavating.

Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht spent a few days vacationing at Lake Geneva, Wednesday through Friday, and enjoyed a boat tour around the lake. Report a nice getaway.

Friday evening, Jan Rath, Joyce Wade, Adelle Koel, Mavis Schlapper, Marion Richter and I went to The Shop at A&H for a luscious fish fry and a nice evening together.

Friends Sabrina Skindzelewski and Brett Holman helped Case Furchtenicht celebrate his birthday on Saturday. On Sunday, Casey and I shopped and had lunch together in Rice Lake, getting things for the upcoming band trip. It was a fun day having one-to-one time.

Monday, son Russ stopped by. Elaine Ryan and Mary Krantz had lunch with me. Mary brought out some treats.

Roger Furchtenicht started cutting hay on Monday.

Guess it is that time of year already.

Happy birthday this week to Chuck Hofmann, Carol Leischer and Jerry Ullom, May 24; Paul Furchtenicht, Aaron Studt and Linda Christianson on May 25; Linda Austin, Pat Hellzen, Pat Hubin, Norma LaVeau, Mikala Okonek turns 1 on May 26; Sam West, Gary Zaloudek, Austin Gagner and Lorraine Scribner, May 27; Tyler LaVeau and Mikayla Smith, May 28; Andrew Doanes and Gene Romsos, May 29; Deb West, Mable Washkuhn, Lori Gohde and Wanda Rux, May 30.

Some folks with anniversaries include Jeff and Rachelle Hanson, their 15th on May 25; Val and Bill Smith and Nathan and Heidi Odden, May 29; and Art and Vicki Lyons and Ryan and Sarah West Schmidt, May 30. Have a happy one.

There are so many things going on.

Prevent further spread of pertussis

SPOONER — Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, a contagious bacterial infection spread by coughing/sneezing, continues to circulate around the country. Several cases have been identified in Washburn County. It usually spreads among close contacts such as household members. Infants are particularly susceptible to pertussis, and half of infants who get pertussis are hospitalized. Washburn County Health Department continues to ensure persons with pertussis and their close contacts receive treatment to stop the spread of the disease.

The Washburn County Health Department is asking the community to take steps to stop the spread of pertussis.

Vaccinate Vaccination is the first step in preventing pertussis.

Infants and children should receive the five-dose pertussis vaccine series DtaP. Children over age 10, adolescents and adults should all receive a one-time booster of pertussis containing vaccine TdaP. Call 715-635-4400 to schedule an appointment for this free vaccine. mits. Annual permits are $20 again this year and available at any time from 6 a.m.-8 p.m. at the boat landing and also at city hall. Daily permits for $5 are available at the boat landing and can also be obtained from the self-service drop box at the landing when inspectors are unavailable.

I encourage all boaters to remove any vegetation they may have on their boat after exiting a body of water and also to drain the water from their boat, including the live well. This only takes a few minutes and is crucial to stopping the spread of invasive species that are taking over our surrounding lakes. It is also now the law. Anglers should also be careful to not transport minnows from one body of water to another. If you do use minnows on two bodies of water, make sure not to contaminate the minnow bucket with any lake water and do not add fish to the bucket that have been in the body of water. This is to help prevent the spread of diseases such as viral hemorrhagic septicemia.

I appreciate everyone for his or her continued cooperation and involvement with the invasive species inspection program, and I hope to see you all at the landing this summer.

Invasive species • Joe Mikula

Know the symptoms Cough: A cough lasting over two weeks, coughing fits, nighttime coughing and coughing unrelieved by cough syrup. Runny nose/sneezing: Common when it first starts. Fever: May have low-grade fever when it starts. Headache, body aches and sore throat are not common.

Seek medical care Call your medical provider if your cough lasts more than two weeks — especially if you get coughing fits where you can’t catch your breath. The classic whooping sound is more common in infants. If you begin coughing and have been in close contact with someone who has pertussis, stay home and call the Washburn County Health Department at 715-635-4400 for treatment instructions.

Stay home to prevent the spread of pertussis Cough/sneeze into your sleeve. Stay home if you have a cough. If you are tested for pertussis, stay home until your test result is known to avoid spreading it to others. If you test positive for pertussis, you must stay home until you have taken five days of antibiotics.

Your medical provider may choose to treat you with five days of antibiotics immediately rather than waiting for results. If your medical provider waits until your test result is back to treat you, you may end up having to stay home longer than five days.

Treat contacts If you test positive for pertussis, any household members and others you have been in close face-to face contact with should be given five days of antibiotics to prevent them from getting pertussis. Contact the Washburn County Health Department at 715-635-4400 for assistance. — from WCHD

Governor recall election June 5

by Gregg Westigard Special to the Register staff writer AREA – Wisconsin voters decide who will be the state’s governor and lieutenant governor Tuesday, June 5. Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch each face a possible recall from office, the result of a statewide petition to place the issue on the ballot. If either of them loses the election, their replacement will take office as soon as the votes are certified.

There are three names on the ballot for governor, but a local resident is waging a

write-in campaign and trying to make it a four-way contest. The listed candidates are Scott Walker, Republican Party, Tom Barrett, Democratic Party, and Hari Trivedi, Independent. Joining them in the race as a write-in is Steven Zelinski from Webster.

There is a separate ballot for lieutenant governor, unlike the usual election for the office where the governor and lieutenant governor run as a team. Republican Kleefisch and Democrat Mahlon Mitchell are the candidates.

Besides these two contests, there are four state Senate recall elections on June 5, in scattered areas across the state. None of these elections are in the Polk, Burnett,

Web sites The candidates have Web sites where they put out their official information and views.

Shell Lake fourth-graders bike around the lake

The fourth-graders all stopped for one last rest stop at Glenview and were treated to their hospitality. After a drink of water and an ice-cream treat, the students were on their way.

Photos by Larry Samson

On Monday the day started out as a clear, sunny day and everything looked fresh and green. They needed a big drink of water. It is depressing when it is cloudy and gray.

Tuesday, May 15, the visitation for Arvid Pederson was well-attended, as well as services on Wednesday. He lived a good life and I think he was always happy on the farm.

On Wednesday, May 16, the fourthgrade students biked around the lake and stopped at Glenview for an icecream treat. I’m sure they enjoyed that after biking so long.

Thursday afternoon, Joanne Olson held her spring concert of her piano students at Glenview. Parents and grandparents and tenants of Glenview enjoyed it a lot. Congratulations to the 13 students.

Jerid Pederson, who works in North Dakota, came home to spend several days with his family here. They went to the Minnesota Zoo one day, and fished on Little Long Lake and some enjoyed other outings. He left on Sunday, but will be back in a couple of weeks.

Visiting over the weekend at Jeff Pederson’s were Nick Pederson and Brent Pederson and Nicole Cumings, all of Minneapolis, Minn. They spent Saturday golfing, hunting turkeys and fishing.

Kim Odden and son Kelly joined Jeff hunting early Saturday morning with Kelly being the lucky one to get his turkey.

On Sunday afternoon, Brad, Kelly and Hailey Flach, Steve, Jody, Blake and

Maddy, Wayne and Kim Flach all came to spend a little time with Roger and Mavis and cheered them up. Kids and grandkids can really do that.

Tuesday, Lawrence and Clarice Flach of rural Rice Lake came to visit the Flachs and also Maynard and Shirley Tangwall and Irene Flash.

Visiting with Peder Pederson on Sunday afternoon was Kathy Walsky, Spooner, and Vern Jacobs and Wayne Goldsmith.

Arlys Santiago attended the Celebration of Life for Jean Kallenback at Butternut Hills on Saturday. There were quite a lot of people who came to remember her.

On Sunday evening, Harley and Kathy Bergeron enjoyed dinner at the home of Arlys Santiago. It was an appreciation dinner for all they do for her.

Helen V. Pederson went to visitation for Arvid Pederson with Sue and Larry Winner of Solon Springs and to the funeral with Wendell Turpin. Afterward, they joined Harriet and Dale Larson to see Wendell’s house he is building.

Congratulations to the class of 2012 who graduate this week.

Graduates from Salem are Andrea Bauch, Ben Butenhoff and Caleb Parker.

They were honored at a baccalaureate service on Sunday. Lunch and cake were served.

Memorial Day is Monday, May 28, with services at the park following the parade.

Live each day as if it were your last – someday you’ll be right.

Brittany Ford, Spooner, and Stephen Fisher, Greentown, Ind., were married Aug. 14, 2011, on the Campus of Purdue University, in West Lafayette, Ind. The bride’s parents are Jocelyn and Larry Ford, Spooner. The groom’s parents are Larry and Esther Fisher, Greentown, Ind. Attendants were Alexis Catt, maid of honor, and Samantha Peggs, maid of honor. Colin Ayers was best man and Brian Fisher, the groom’s brother, was groomsman.

The bride is a graduate of Duluth Marshall Class of 2006, Duluth, Minn., and graduated from Purdue University with bachelor’s degrees in history and communication in December 2010. She is currently employed as the resident director at Williamsburg on the Wabash Apartment Community. The groom is a graduate of Eastern High School Class of 2006, Greentown, Ind. He is currently in his final year in the bachelor’s program in dietetics, food and nutrition at Purdue University and entering the internship program.

Debbie Sandstrom

Debbie moved to Wisconsin in 1974.

“I worked for Doug Thompson in Cumberland at Doug’s Family Restaurant until I was lucky enough to be hired at Indianhead Flower Shop where I worked for 10 years. Then I started looking for a job with benefits and always wanted to work in a bank and was hired at Bank of Spooner, which is Bank of the West currently. I love animals I have three horses, three dogs, three cats and two rabbits.

“I have three animals from the humane society: a cat, purebred malamute and the last one was supposed to be in a foster home but he has a home forever. His name is Buddy. He is shepherd and malamute. I help with fundraisers. Our most recent one was the Spooner wine tasting. The WCAHS was one of the beneficiaries of the event. I am a leader of the 4-H horse Debbie Sandstrom and horseless horse project and have been for 25 years. I love to work with horses and the youth who are our future.

“I am a rodeo committee member and have been for about 22 years. I was Rodeo Committee Person of the Year in 2007 and I was able to attend the rodeo in Las Vegas, Nev. I really enjoy being part of the rodeo and hope everyone attends this year! Northern District 4-H horse show committee member which is a district show held yearly.

This year it will be in Bayfield County Fairgrounds on July 21.

“Recently I have started to attend Spooner chamber meetings I love being involved in the community and helping with the different events. I am very proud to live in Washburn County and serve our community and helping our future, the youth of today.

One of her favorite quotes is by Theodore Roosevelt: “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred in dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself a worthy cause.”

The Debbie Sandstrom file

volunteer at the shelter because I would bring home every unwanted animal.

My favorite sport to play: Horseback riding.

Favorite sport to watch: Any horse-related sport such as rodeo, reining and any horse show.

Place I would most like to visit: New Zealand.

The person I most admire: My daughter for being so involved in the community and my son for enlisting in the Marines.

Best movie I ever saw: “The Horse Whisperer” and “Pure Country.”

Favorite TV show: Don’t really have any.

No time to watch much TV. Music I listen to: Country-western.
