by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE –The trial of a Sarona man charged with the shooting death of another Sarona man has been set for Aug. 1-10 at the Dunn County Courthouse in Menomonie. Jess R. Carsello, 49, is facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Michael Elliott, 31, Sarona. allegedly Carsello called 911 on Sunday, July 25, 2010, to admit to shooting Elliot, claiming self-defense following a Jess R. Carsello drunken fight with the man he claimed was his friend. An autopsy showed Elliott had been shot six times in the back. The shooting occurred at Carsello’s home on Spur Road. When deputies arrived, they found Carsello in the woods and under the influence of alcohol. According to authorities, Elliott and Carsello had met just weeks before the incident and were hanging out quite frequently, according to friends of Elliott. Carsello told deputies that the two of them were drinking heavily just before the incident occurred. The courts granted the moving of the trial from Washburn to Dunn County because of publicity on the case in Washburn County. Judge James D. Babbit, Barron County, will preside over the trial. Washburn County District Attorney Mike Bitney will be representing the state of Wisconsin, and the defense attorney in the case is Harry R. Hertel.

Sharing love through foster care
SPORTS Pages 12-13
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Foster Care in Washburn County is in need of families to foster children. “The general rule is to have one foster care family per 1,000 in your population.” according to Lisa Cottrell, Foster Care coordinator for Washburn County. The population for Washburn County is around 16,000. Currently, the county has five general care foster homes. So, the county is running low on foster care homes. In spite of the low numbers of foster care parents in the county, the children have a track record of thriving in their temporary homes. Cottrell is in charge of placing children in homes where they are the best fit. “If you have a child that likes to sit on the couch a lot, you can’t really put them with a family that likes to run marathons and expect them to be a good fit,” explains Cottrell. There is a lot of training that goes into preparing families for helping foster children thrive. Cottrell has also served on the Foster Care & Adoption Resource Center advisory board since their beginning in 2006. They offer resources on preparing children for transitions, relative care, working with children who have been traumatized, and several other issues with raising children, adoption

And you thought they all went to bed at 7 ... by Diane Dryden SPOONER - Monday, May 16, there was a 6:30 p.m. wedding in town and it was held at the Spooner Nursing Home. No, it’s not what you’re thinking; this was a young couple, one of whom has been a CNA there for three years. “My boyfriend and I had promised his grandmother, Alice Burmeister, who was a resident at the nursing home, that we would get married right there in the outdoor gazebo,” said the bride, Deanna Muller. “Unfortunately she died this past March, but we went ahead and had the wedding in the gazebo in her honor.” Muller started working as part of the kitchen staff at the Capeside Cove nursing home in Siren and when it closed several years ago she knew that her calling
was working with the elderly. She went to school, became a CNA and has been happily working in Spooner ever since. New husband, Billy Allen, is employed by the Wisconsin Structural Steel Company in Barronett. The groomsmen wore camouflage vests that matched the bridesmaid’s dresses, one bridesmaid in brown and the other in green. Almost every resident attended the ceremony along with various family members and the gazebo was overflowA photo of Alice Burmeister, ing with well-wishers.

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - Last Wednesday, May 18, work began as the city crew started ripping out the cement walkways that connected the city hall building and library with the street. According to the city crew the sidewalks were uneven and were becoming unsafe. And in today’s world of ecology, there was just too much hard surface and not enough grass. Using a concept plan drawn by Ruth King of the DNR, the city will proceed with replacing the cement, putting in sod and adding two new rain gardens, thanks to the input of Dave Vold, the man behind the new rain garden next to the community center. “Rain comes off the roof of the library
side of the building and pools in front on the building. By adding an attractive garden beneath it, it will prevent the rain water from running down into the sewer system. There will be an additional rain garden on the other side of the cement walkway to do the same thing.” By the time the project is finished city hall and the library will be looking their best and ready for people to spend some time sitting on the benches, using the WiFi and enjoying their day. There had been a bumper crop of tulips in the garden formerly between the sidewalks planted by Donna BarnesHasemeyer, but they were all dug with care and plans have already been made for the bulbs.
City hall gets a facelift

Washburn County accident report
Saturday, May 7 Deputy Tyler Walsh responded to Lower McKenzie Road and Hwy. 77 in the Town of Chicog, in reference to a damaged vehicle in the middle of the road at 6:03 p.m. Walsh located four subjects walking on Hwy. 77. The driver of the vehicle was believed to be Dale E. Featherly, 38, Rice Lake, who was intoxicated and covered with blood on his face and hands. Walsh also identified three juveniles with Featherly, who would not know who was driving the vehicle. The vehicle was towed, and no one has been charged in the case because deputies could not prove Featherly was the driver of the vehicle.
Tuesday, May 10 Margaret R. Rockwood, 85, Hayward, called to inform police she had been in an accident on the exit ramp of Hwy. 53 to Hwy. 70. Rockwood stated she made a left turn onto Hwy. 70, when she realized she was in the wrong lane. She went to turn around at the bridge and her steering wheel locked up and the vehicle was in traffic. Deputy Jilek started the vehicle and then backed it off the overpass for Rockwood. The vehicle was running, so Jilek informed Rockwood that perhaps her radio was too loud and she wasn’t able to hear the car running. No accident had occurred after all.
Memorial stones honor vets
SPOONER — Memorial Day is fast approaching. This is the time to honor veterans. If you have a loved one just home from Iraq or Afghanistan, a father, mother, sister or brother who is a veteran, what a way to honor them - by having their name placed on a Memorial Stone. The Washburn County Veterans Service Office is just beginning the etching of the 13th Memorial Peace Stone, which is located out at the Veterans Memorial Wayside 2-1/2 miles southeast of Spooner, on Hwy. 53. There are 24 vacan-
cies for Washburn County veterans names to be etched on this 13th Memorial Stone. For $100 you can have the last, first, middle initial of name; year of entry and year of discharge; and initials of the military branch. Call 715-635-4470 and request an application or stop in the office and someone will help you fill out the one-page form. A letter will be sent to you when it has been etched on the stone. — from WCVSO
and foster care. Foster care is designed to be a temporary placement. The ultimate goal is to get these children back home with their parents. If the parents are not ready to take the children home after an extended time, the county then must look into placing the children in a permanent home. The McKim family of Birchwood has been foster parents for over 15 years. Seven of those years have been in Washburn County. Mike and Tracy McKim started being foster parents shortly after they were married. They have their own biological children, adopted two children after they were foster parents for the pair, and they have three more chil-
dren that they are currently adopting. The McKim family has had more than 20 children come through their home. “With each one that comes, you have a special connection with each one. When it is time to send them home, it’s bittersweet. You hate to see them go because they become part of your family, but you are happy to see them return to their families,” said Tracy. The family gets to keep in touch with some of the children and parents they have worked with over the years. “It is such a joy to see how far the children have come.” Mike McKim shares about how foster care has touched his family’s life. “Building the relationships with the kids, some of them that are here for about a

Rock receives medal
SHELL LAKE — Who would ever think that the Bronze Star Medal recommended for Capt. Albert Rock, Shell Lake, would take 57 years to be presented? The medal was awarded for outstanding service rendered during World War II. Prior to his BSM ceremony, Rock was ordered to return to England to transfer the chemical warfare munitions depot to the British. The depot was established by his company in 1943 and became the largest storage site in the European Theatre. The transfer required approximately four months, after which Rock returned to the United States and was honorably discharged from active service. He re-entered military service and was awarded a second Bronze Star in 1953 for his service in Korea. In a conversation with Carl Krantz, Washburn County Veteran Service Officer, the matter of the BSM was discussed. Krantz kindly offered to research this and three weeks later, the BSM was delivered with a personal inscription. “Many thanks to our CVSO, for his assistance to this retired officer and the many veterans he serves each day,” said Rock, lieutenant colonel retired. — submitted

year or so, it’s good for our kids too.” When asked about special highlights of being a foster parent, Mike answered, “Some of the kids have never been fishing before, never been on a four-wheeler. They’ve never seen a lot of this stuff before. Just experiencing that with them for the first time is great.” Tracy McKim said, “People have an expectation that they don’t want their lives disrupted, but it’s really more of a blessing. You do get a connection with the parents and you are happy to see them (the children) go back to their parents. It’s not about us. It’s about the kids. You keep a connection with the parents and are happy to see them connect with their families again.” Tracy advises, “If you
do have a heart and a compassion for children, don’t let your fear hold you back from trying it.” Some of the qualifications to become a foster parent include: Completing a safe home study with Cottrell, that takes approximately four months to complete. Be over age 18. Be subject to an FBI fingerprinting background check, due to the Adam Walsh law. If you rent, you must have a letter from your landlord stating it is OK for you to take in foster children. If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, or have any question, please contact Lisa Cottrell directly at 715-468-4741.

Vaccinations are necessary to a healthy system
It is ironic that progressive Democrats are pushing to conserve a system destined to fail while conservative Republicans are wisely proposing reforms to ensure Medicare’s solvency. Unfortunately, the liberal minority party and its activists have been screaming and kicking at the school nurse like children who need required vaccinations to stay healthy. The sight of the necessary reforming needle makes us squeamish, but it is much better than the alternative. Our seniors have become dependent
This past week, Republicans in Wisconsin’s state Senate rammed through their voter ID (suppression) bill and sent it on to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature. A YouTube video shows Senate President Mike Ellis yelling at Democrats seeking time for further discussion of the bill to “shut up” and “sit down.” Some of these crude commands were directed
on Medicare, which is facing bankruptcy. Rather than leading on these tough issues when they were in the majority, Democrats and the president have dodged the issue to the point where our country is now over $14 trillion in debt. Progressives would rather play politics and resort to scare tactics than have an honest discussion in search of a solution. The starting point of this conversation proposed by budget chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and supported by Rep. Duffy would not change Medicare for
seniors currently age 55 or over. Younger generations currently paying into a failing system would be protected through the option of choosing retirement health plans as federal employees currently do. Do not allow the fear-mongering to destroy these excellent opportunities provided by Ryan and Duffy. Bob Olson Birchwood
at Fred Risser, the longest-serving state legislator in the nation. Some Democrats weren’t allowed to vote. Ellis declared the bill passed as soon as all the Republicans had voted. Democracy in action. Republicans claim the law is needed to prevent voter fraud. But how much voter fraud has really been found in Wisconsin? From what’s been reported, virtually none. What the law will do is make
voting more difficult for the elderly, students, those with disabilities and those who live longer distances from sites where they can get a valid photo ID. Some cynics even say that this bill will mostly affect those people who usually vote for Democrats. Huh? Robert Ademino Spooner

WITC Class 42247. Cost is $28. Age 62plus at start of class cost is $16. While many people believe you have to be naturally flexible to practice yoga at all, in reality people of all ages and physical conditions can benefit from the practice. Among other things, it can help reduce back and neck pain, lower blood pressure and improve one’s energy, strength,
flexibility and balance. This will be a fairly slow-moving class that uses a variety of basic postures and stretches performed to each individual’s comfort level. While some standing postures will be included, these can easily be converted to a chair if standing is not appropriate. Seated postures will also take place in a chair, rather than on the floor. Certain breathing techniques can be helpful in lowering blood pressure and reducing stress or the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, and these may also be included if appropriate. Class will finish with a guided relaxation or visualization while seated. While it is fine to sip water or juice during class, please avoid eating for two to four hours before class if possible and inform your instructor of any special needs you may have – pretty much anyone can practice yoga, but not all postures are right for everyone. Participants should wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict their breathing or movement and shoes with grip, such as tennis shoes. This is a perfect class for seniors, people with physical limitations due to illness/injury/surgery, or those who have been inactive for a long period of time and wish to reintroduce activity in a gentle fashion.

Click It or Ticket kicks off intensified safety belt enforcement
STATEWIDE — More than 385 law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin will be out in force patrolling streets and highways — day and night — during the national Click It or Ticket safety belt campaign through June 5. This year’s Click It or Ticket is the largest coordinated law enforcement mobilization ever in Wisconsin, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “Click It or Ticket is more than just a slogan for law enforcement agencies. Whenever officers observe an unbelted driver or passenger, they will stop the vehicle and issue a citation,” says Wisconsin State Patrol Major Dan Lonsdorf, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “Last year in Wisconsin, there were nearly 120,000 convictions for failure to fasten safety belts, which was an all-time high. Among all traffic violations, safety belt convictions in Wisconsin were second only to speeding convictions.” Although buckling up — every trip, every time — is undeniably the best possible protection against being ejected from a vehicle or thrown around violently inside it during a traffic crash, too many people are killed or injured needlessly because they were unbuckled, according to Lonsdorf. In Wisconsin, about one out of five motorists does not buckle up. Wisconsin’s safety-belt-use rate of 79 percent lags behind the 85-percent national average for safety belt use. In Wisconsin and throughout the nation, teen safety belt use is much lower than other age groups. Not buckling up coupled with a lack of driving experience is a major reason why traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for young people nationwide. “The goal of Click It or Ticket is not to write more tickets but to save lives and reduce injuries. We hope that the intensified enforcement efforts during Click It or Ticket and throughout the year will motivate people to buckle up so that we can reduce the number of preventable traffic deaths to zero in Wisconsin,” Lonsdorf says. “But if voluntary compliance fails and people continue to ignore the safety belt law as well as common sense, we will stop and ticket them.” — from WisDOT

Relay for Life “Cancer doesn’t

A new team this year to the walk is the Lake Mall Walkers. I have joined this team along with

We are walking in memory of Dennis Schraufnagel, founder of Lake Mall built here in Shell Lake in the 1980s. Dennis lost his battle with cancer in January of this year. His widow, Joyce, along with Gerry Chartraw are our co-captains. Several teams have been busy fundraising since the Relay For Life walk last year. Some teams are creative in how they raise funds for this cause. Being a new team this year, our team has been looking for ways to raise funds as well. In April we hosted a pick-yourown-price thrift sale. We had many generous shoppers that day. To add a little spice to the event, the ladies assisting at the sale dressed for the occasion. You know, girls just want to have fun! So we wore our formal gowns and a lot of bling. We are known as the Razzle Dazzle Rhinestones.

An important annual Lake District meeting set
by Linda Ferris, chairman, Shell Lake Protection Advisory Committee SHELL LAKE — Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 25. The annual Lake District meeting will be held at the Shell Lake Community Center. Doors open at 8:15 a.m. Coffee, juice and rolls will be served. There will be informational exhibits on lake protection practices. At 9 a.m. the meeting will begin. Guest speaker is Paul Juckem, a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, Wisconsin Water Science Center, in Middleton. Juckem will discuss the groundwater study and its findings. The groundwater study was part of the conditions of the
Relay For Life in our getups is 3 a.m. Full moon for June isn’t until June 15 but hopefully our bling will shine by the light of the luminaries and tiki torches around the track.

DNR permit to install the diversion project. The results of how groundwater affects Shell Lake, Round Lake, Ripley Lake and Little Ripley Lake will be interesting. Did you know that groundwater makes up more than 90 percent of all available fresh water in the world? Groundwater is one of our most valuable resources. Clean, plentiful groundwater is the key to our health and way of life. Groundwater is a fragile resource. The availability and purity of groundwater are taken for granted by most of us. The dangers to groundwater, however, are countless since many of our activities on land affect the groundwater below. Underground storage tanks, landfills, septic tank systems, improperly constructed water wells, and chemicals and wastes are just a few of the contaminants on the ground’s surface that may damage groundwater quality. The protection and maintenance of groundwater quality depends upon everyone’s effort to properly manage and dispose of wastes. A question we might ask, “How is the quality of our lake affected by the groundwater?“ It will be interesting to hear the findings of the groundwater study as it relates to Shell Lake and the surrounding lakes. It will also be beneficial to see how the Shell Lake Groundwater Study and the water quality study are linked. The committee is looking forward to seeing everyone at the Lake District meeting in June. Come early, enjoy the refreshments and informational exhibits, and enjoy some conversation with your neighbors and friends.

is for Shell Lake residents only and if used illegally a fine of $500 can be levied. Steps are being formulated to assist in photographing illegal perpetrators’ license plate numbers and not necessarily only from the police force. This is a serious problem, you have been warned. ••• When you are coming north on Hwy. 63 and just as you are entering Shell Lake proper, you pass the village garden on your left that is maintained by a group of 4-H’ers, ably led by Angie Anderson. How many volunteers? Angie says the numbers vary from five or six to 13 or 14. They work with small donations and branches and excess plantings from their own gardens. Her counter at Shell Lake Bank is very big and sturdy and will be able to support any voluntary donations. Stop by and says thanks for helping to make Shell Lake welcome to all visitors. ••• Have you noticed that the level of the lake has increased from 1227.27 last year to 1228.48 this year? That is more than a foot higher and makes our docks closer to our homes. The level could have been higher except for all the wind we experienced last week. In the near future, in addition to the level of the lake, I will also be reporting the temperature. Now be aware that the level
I report is for the entire lake. However, the temp will only reflect the temp in front of my home. ••• Last week it was predicted that the end of the world was going to occur on Saturday, May 21. May 21 came and went and life continued on. However, other things going on, while not as earth-shattering, will change the Shell Lake atmosphere. Becky’s and Sandcastle Toys are for sale and now Thru the Woods is for sale. What or who will be for sale next week? I do realize that at certain times in their lives certain children have been for sale, (sometimes for free) usually around the same time as the hormones begin appearing. I must also state that these proposed sales usually don’t occur. Let me restate that last statement. No sale(s) have occurred that I personally have had come to my personal attention. ••• Two dates to put down on your calendars: July 4, rapidly approaching, will be the day of the Shell Lake boat parade and Saturday, Aug. 6, will be the Young Eagles day when various private pilots explain the rudiments of flying, fit each young passenger with earphones so they can talk to them in flight, and then take them on a 15-20-minute plane ride. This is all free and a project of the Experimental Aircraft Association.
MINONG — The River Church, a Wesleyan Church in Minong, will sponsor a top-quality music, magic and ballooning clown for the 100th Washburn County Fair. Mr. Steve will be traveling all the way from Illinois to perform at three shows both Friday and Saturday at this year’s fair. With a funny grin, a contagious laugh, and an impish childlike enthusiasm, Steve Lundquist is not your run-of-the-mill entertainer. His 20 years of experience have taken him all over the United States, and he has even performed in Africa. Not only is he the consummate entertainer, but he is also an accomplished recording artist with two children’s tapes, “Elephants & Kangaroos” and “Wonderful Things I Remember,” to his credit. Kids, as well as moms and dads, will thoroughly enjoy this fun, fastpaced, innovative show.
He joins an already jammed-pack entertainment schedule for this historic fair being held Thursday-Sunday, July 28-31, in Spooner. You can find his performance times at www.washburncountyfair.com and look for him on the free stage during the fair. - submitted

There seems to be a very continuing serious problem with the amount of … how can I say this nicely … stuff that is being deposited in the large trash container located on Richie Road leading to the Shell Lake shop. There are some restrictions and I will list these so there can be no exceptions. The general rule (1) Only household waste is permitted to be put into the trash container. To help everyone understand that concept, here is a very simple example. If you put it out to be picked up during the normal garbage Monday/Thursday pickup and they don’t pick it up, it does not belong in the trash container. Now won’t that simple rule eliminate chunks of concrete, any John type of stuff used in building a Frischmann house, barn or picnic table, used appliances from microwaves to refrigerators, furniture of any type, tires and paints, and anything connected with wires or cables? Usually in the spring there is a Saturday advertised to unload some of those items. Also note the sign by the trash container that states the use of the trash container

SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake sixthgraders have spent the last two months demonstrating their character through participating in classroom activities and accumulating volunteer minutes in other classrooms. Students who showed character in the areas of respect, responsibility, time management, problem solving, perseverance and self-esteem, and who met the volunteering criteria were able to join in the final activity on Friday, May 13. Students trekked over to the primary building that Friday morning. Each sixth-grader came prepared with a favorite storybook to read with the younger students in small groups. After reading, they joined the primary students at recess playing tag, kickball and other games. When recess was done, the sixth-graders led their younger friends in character-building activities they had previously done throughout their character unit. “It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved. The kindergartners, first-graders and second-graders loved having the big kids come to visit,” commented a staff member. The sixthgraders all said how much fun they had with the little kids. It was an especially great experience for the teachers to see these strong, positive role models giving

back to their former school. The following are comments written by a couple of sixth-graders on the experience. KayDe Bontekoe: “I loved going to the primary and reading to the secondgraders. Over the past couple months, the Shell Lake sixth grade has been working on character traits such as responsibility, self-esteem, problem solving, self-discipline and being helpful. Our teachers set up games and activities to help us understand what it means. We’ve also been helping other teachers from junior high and elementary schools. By helping them, we would get minutes and get to go to the primary school. I think that going to the primary really helped change our sixth-grade class a lot and I would just like to thank Miss Stearns and Mr. Bouchard for helping us improve our good characteristics. Thanks.” Caitlyn Schaefer: “Every Monday we talked about respect and positive behaviors and we had to go volunteer for teachers in other classrooms. We went to the primary to read and do activities with them (primary students). I got to go to Mrs. Cardwell’s class. I read with three students at a time. Then we went outside for recess. We were running around with the kids. After recess, I went to Mrs. LaFave’s class and did a coloring activity with two kids. They had to draw a picture and make it look realistic. We talked about what their favorite things were to do. It was a good experience to get ready for junior high and because we usually don’t get to see primary kids. It was a thrilling day.” — from Shell Lake Schools LEFT: Sixth-grader Madison LaFave has learned to share her favorite teacher and mother, Janie LaFave, with her students such as Emily Dahlstrom.

Season winding down
by Larry Samson MINONG — The Shell Lake girls softball team traveled to Northwood to face their conference nemesis and wanted to even out the season with them after their 8-7 loss back on May 12. Talentwise, the two teams match up very well. The Evergreens are an experienced team with seasoned players while Shell Lake is a young team with four freshman starters and only two seniors. Shell Lake had one bad inning and saw a 5-5 game end in a 10-5 loss. The loss dropped them into a 5-9 season, 1-5 in conference play. They will host New Auburn in the first game of the regional playoff on Thursday, May 26. New Auburn has a 0-8 season. The winner of that game will play the winner of the Luck/Birchwood matchup on Tuesday, May 31. The third round will be played on Thursday, June 2, with the first game
of the sectionals held at Shell Lake on Tuesday, June 7. The boys baseball team played Northwood on Thursday, May 19, and came away with a 20-4 win, making up for the 4-1 loss to the Evergreens back on May 12. The week started out with a 9-2 loss to Bruce in a nonconference game on Tuesday, May 17. The win will give them an 8-7 season with two makeup games with Clear Lake to be played. The Lakers are the top seed in their regional and will get a bye in the first round. On Tuesday, May 31, they will face the winner of the Frederic/Birchwood matchup. The final game of the regional will be Wednesday, June 1. The first game of the sectionals will be Tuesday, June 7, at Bruce.

Spooner students win big at state PTA Reflections Show
by Rich Meaux, Spooner Area PTA Reflections chair SHEBOYGAN — On Saturday, April 30, the state PTA held their annual PTA Reflections State Cultural Arts Competition Show and luncheon as part of the state PTA convention in Sheboygan. As has been the case for the past few years, the Spooner visual arts students did very well. Both middle school students and high school students swept the competition for their levels of the competition. Spooner Middle School students took the first, second, and third places with two more Spooner students landing honorable mentions.
The senior high students one-upped the middle schoolers by landing a grand national winner as well as the first-, second-, and third-place finishes with two more high school students receiving honorable mentions. The middle school students being honored at the Reflections luncheon were Ally Jacoby, first place; Sophia Meaux, second place; Abby Melton, third place; Kayla Boutwell, honorable mention; and Ryan Anderson, honorable mention. High school awardwinners honored included Rachel Gage, grand national winner; Iciar Ocariz, first place; Lynsey Hanley, second place; Erin Marske, third place; Jordan Wagner, hon-
orable mention; and Ambrose Depies, honorable mention. Special note should be made to the Spooner Area PTA for continuing to make the Reflections program a priority of their yearly activities provided to stu-
dents. Also worthy of note is the Spooner Area School District’s art teachers and fine arts programming which has continued to produce such fine works on an annual basis.

GAB finalizes recount in Prosser’s favor
by Shawn Johnson Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Wisconsin’s election agency has signed off on the results of a state Supreme Court recount that showed Justice David Prosser defeating challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg by roughly 7,000 votes.
The lead was about 300 less than what Prosser held when the recount began. Kloppenburg’s campaign now has a week to decide whether to challenge the results in court. Prosser campaign manager Brian Schimming said there’s no need for a lawsuit, which he says would be costly to tax-
payers. “We’re hoping that doesn’t happen, we’re hoping against hope that doesn’t happen,” says Schimming. “But that’s a decision up to her. We just know that we’re happy today. The Government Accountability Board obviously is comfortable that the win is there.”
Kloppenburg asked for the recount after the Waukesha County clerk announced she’d forgotten to include 14,000 votes from Brookfield in the total she released on election night. Those votes were the difference for Prosser, who had otherwise trailed Kloppenburg in preliminary numbers gathered by the Associated Press.

Since my last writing, what a difference in just one week. Our area turned so green and beautiful, with the heat and moisture the leaves filled out and blossoms popped out, plums cherries and apples, and also the woods are white with trilliums that joined other early May flowers and lawns are being mowed. Farmers got a lot of planting done and folks were busy planting gardens. Last Tuesday night we did get frost though that forced folks to cover or bring back in some of their potted plants. Frogs and birds are happy, really singing up a storm. Speaking of storms, our prayers go out to the folks in Joplin, Mo., and in other places that got hit Sunday. Shell Lake’s graduation Friday night brought out a lot of folks and there were many open houses folks attended on the weekend. Congratulations to all the graduates. Greg and Cheri Lyga enjoyed a week’s vacation spending a day at Mackinaw Island and Niagara Falls, gone from Saturday until Saturday. They report it was nice to get away. Grandma Barb, Greg’s mom, stayed with the kids when Greg and Cheri were away. Prayers and thoughts to Blanche Bergman, spending the past week in the hospital in Rice Lake. Hope this finds her feeling better soon. Vivian has been going down to be with her every day. Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson, spent the weekend at his mom’s and helped her with some things.

Dewey Country by Pauline Lawrence
fin’ to get one. He looked quite awhile before the first one and then sat down to chew. Later he was sniffin’ and sniffin’ the air and found No. 2 bone. So he had to chew on that awhile. Before bed he was once again sniffin’ the air. I swear, I think he can count, trying to find another bone even though he had two already. The third was harder to find but he did find it and of course had to chew on that one, too. I swear, I think Rory could sniff out drugs as he did such a good job finding those bones. Son Richy is now buried in baby deer coming. Gosh they’re all legs and such a pretty auburn color. As yet, I haven’t heard that he has to bottle-feed some when the doe has too many to care for. They take a special deer milk replacer and it’s expensive and bottle-feeding is time consuming. Table Talk: What color makes you very happy? Yea, green as it’s money? Saturday at the shelter house in Shell Lake Johanna Feeney had her graduation party. Her mom and dad made so much food, complete with a graduation cake. There were a large number of relatives and friends there to wish Johanna the best. Johanna is going to UW-River Falls this fall and wants to major in some type of ag. News from the Fjelstad Palace finds Kris enjoying lunch at the Barronett Red Brick Café along with five other Red Hat ladies. While Kris was gone, Bob wandered among his neighbors, Gary Smith, Ron Scheffler, Bob Garcia, Cherie Dorweiler, Marv Knoop, Pam Pomykala and Elmer Talbert. Tuesday Bob and Kris were in Eau Claire for appointments. While there, they visited a co-worker Bob had worked with who is a very dear friend, Mike Boettcher. Thursday, Gary and Sue Peterson, Cherie, Tyler and Emily Dorweiler and Bryan Knoop visited the Fjelstads. Friday, Gary and Sue Peterson and Cheri and Emily Dorweiler visited Bob and Kris. Later Bob and Kris visited Pam Pomykala and Elmer Talbert. Saturday Bob and Kris attended a reunion party at Pam Pomykala and Elmer Talbert’s for Elmer’s side of the family. It’s congratulations to Zack Myers from North High School in Eau Claire as he is graduating. Zack is Kris’ grandson. Kris tells us on her way home from church Sunday she came upon a big mama porcupine with a little one. She tells us the little one was so cute. Kris says she has her cold crops in now. Saturday the three Perlt boys, Chris, Ryan, and Nick, were up to their dad’s cabin on Viola Lake getting things ready for lots of summer fun. The three brought up friends and girlfriends. Later they stopped to see their grandma, Diane Hulleman, and did some target practicing. This past week, Diane went with her friend, Robin, to Eau Claire where Robin shopped for her son’s baby shower. And yes, we find the bears are around in the country. Yes, Diane had a bear, and her dog went nuts wanting to get it, but she didn’t let him out. The bear tore down a new feeder Diane had gotten recently. And yes, Mr. and Mrs. Bear left their calling card behind. Sunday afternoon a large number of relatives and friends went to the Dewey Town Hall to help Emily Pfluger celebrate her high school graduation. We wish Emily the best of luck in her future, along with many other graduates.

What a nice rain we had on Sunday morning. Yes, we not only had a good rain, but we had lots of lightning with the thunder rocking the heavens. We farmers will take all the rain we can get even though many other places have too much water. But with that rain, which puts nitrogen in our grounds along with the thunder, it’s just wonderful. Now we just need Mr. Sunshine to come out, as it’s certainly been a chilly spring, so much like 2005. We had this kind of weather back then and about June 20 we got very, very hot and humid and it stayed that way for months. Happy birthday wishes go out to Norma LaVeau way down in Tennessee on her special day May 26. Have a great day, Norma. Happy birthday to a great-niece Heleyna Benjamin on her special day, May 26.Have a wonderful day, Heleyna. A very happy 33rd anniversary to Dean and Nancy Bergquist as they celebrate together May 27. Many more to this great couple. Happy birthday to Buzz LaPorte on his special day, May 28, with many more to come, Buzz. Happy anniversary to Jeremy and Brenda Monson on May 28. Have a great day. May 29, happy birthday to Judy Cornelison as she enjoys her special day with many more to come. Happy birthday to a dear lady, Mable Washkuhn, as she enjoys her special day, May 30, with many more, Mabel. May 30, happy birthday to Austin Stellrecht as he enjoys his special day. Have a fun day, Austin. Austin is the little grandson of Ann Stellrecht. Happy birthday wishes go out to Don Denotter, Debbie LaVeau and Spencer Redding, all on May 31. Have a great day. And in June it’s happy anniversary to Jeff and Nancy Stellrecht celebrating another anniversary on June 1. Many more. Aren’t the woods beautiful now? Yes, with the trees leafing out and so many different wildflowers blooming, showing off their beauty for all to enjoy, it’s one of the best times of the year. Ol’ Ma Nature has now awakened. Annette Petersen visited me one evening this last week. We had a nice visit and she tells us their son, Daniel, only has one more year of schooling and he will then be a Baptist minister. Way to go Daniel. It was a shock to hear that famous ballplayer Harmon Killebrew died. What really shocked me is he died from esophageal cancer, which is in the throat area like my Sunshine had. You have to get to the doctor and be checked out if you have lots of heartburn and acid reflex. It’s a gamble if you don’t get checked. Haven’t seen much of a drop for fuel prices yet. Gas is still over $4 per gallon and diesel is higher than that. Son Richy is a very happy young man. Yes, he’s done planting for this spring. There are certainly lots and lots of yellow dandelions in our lawns, but they’re worse in our alfalfa fields. Where you see yellow it means the alfalfa isn’t there and has died. I still think those beautiful yellows of the dandelions are so bright and pretty. If you want to see beautiful flowered trees, take a short trip on Sand Road. There are lots and lots of trees loaded down with heavy blooms. Must be apple and chokecherry trees. What’s new with my pup, Rory? Well, he loves real bones, no artificial bones for him, no way, and the other day he was catnappin’, so I hid three of his bones, which I thought were hard to find. I watched him when he got through snoozin’ and he got up, got a drink of water and looked around with those black eyes for a bone. He always has one in his mouth, so he went snif-

England’s National Lifeboat Service, which rescues seamen in distress, advertised, “Hazardous work. No pay. On call all hours. Must be willing to go in all weather. Safe return never guaranteed. Sole purpose to save others.” Many volunteered. One year they logged 2,500 missions and saved more than 2,000 lives. Our Lord calls for volunteers. He doesn’t offer an easy life, but an exciting life; not high salaries, but hard sacrifices; not a pension, but persecution.

Area Writer’s corner An awesome national memorial
by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake Where will you be on Memorial Day? Chances are, I will join the folks who gather after a parade to honor the people who served in the military. It’s good to see and hear the marching band, and Boy and Girl Scouts. I will find it a time to visit cemeteries. The most noteworthy place of memorial I have ever visited is Arlington National Cemetery, located just across the Potomac River overlooking Washington, D.C. There, on a hill, is found the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the now empty tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the Vietnam War. The identity of the serviceman was discovered, and the body of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael J. Blassie was disinterred and taken to be buried at St. Louis by his family. The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, called the Old Guard has watched over the memorial since April 6, 1948. It is an intensely dignified and memorable experience to watch the changing of the guard performed by the soldiers flawlessly each day for visitors. The cemetery is on 624 acres and includes many memorials. The grounds are landscaped with varieties of greenery and flowers, all very beautiful. There are 300,000 people buried at the cemetery. Interred there are veterans and military casualties dating from the time of the Civil War to the present wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Confederate soldiers buried in one section have peaked headstones and a memorial for their service is there, and the other Civil War graves headstones are rounded. Former freed slaves are also buried there. The southern part of the acreage, during the Civil War, was where freed slaves lived in temporary camps. They were given small parcels of land and they farmed it. They called it Freedman’s Village, but in 1880, the government bought it back and made it a military installation. The Arlington House, the Custis-Lee Mansion and its grounds, are administered by the National Park Service. It is a white, marble-columned southern mansion, itself a casualty, overlooking the cemetery and the graves of the Civil War dead. It is on the estate of the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington. Arlington County is in Virginia. What happened was Martha’s grandson, George Washington Parke Custis, got the land in 1802, and began to build Arlington House. It was passed down to Mary Anna (Custis) Lee, their only surviving child. She was married to Robert E. Lee, a West Point graduate and Army

Kenneth T. White
Kenneth T. White, 82, Shell Lake, died Tuesday, May 24, 2011, at Terrace View Living Center. A memorial will be held Thursday, May 26, 1 p.m., at Shell Lake United Methodist Church, with the Rev. Greg Harrell officiating. Interment will be private. Friends may call one hour prior to services at the church on Thursday. The Cremation Society of Wisconsin, Altoona, was entrusted with arrangements. A complete obituary will be published at a later date. officer. At the start of the Civil War, after Fort Sumter, Lee was asked by President Lincoln to take command of the federal forces. He decided that he couldn’t go to war against his fellow Virginians and resigned his commission. He became the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. Lee was considered disloyal, so when the casualties, shipped into Washington on the trains, overwhelmed the local cemeteries, they began to bury the dead in Lee’s front yard. They appropriated part of it, as a place for the Union dead. In 1864 it was 200 acres. It has grown larger since then. Did the government steal it? Not really. They bought it in 1864 at a tax sale for $26,800. Mrs. Lee had sent an agent to pay the tax of $92.07. They ignored him. She died, sadly, unable to live in her mansion surrounded by graves. Her heir, Custis Lee, sued, claiming ownership. The Supreme Court ruled in his favor, Custis Lee turned around and sold it back to the government for $150,000, and they had a signing ceremony presided over by Robert Todd Lincoln, secretary of war. You walk through history when you visit the cemetery. There is a memorial for the people who were blown up in the USS Maine, at the start of the Spanish-American War. Their shattered bodies were unidentifiable, and they were buried in a mass grave beneath the graceful memorial stone. Mark Matthews, the last surviving “Buffalo Soldier,” was buried there in 2005. The decorated WWII hero who made movies, Audie Murphy, is buried there, as are astronauts Roger Chaffee and Gus Grissom, from the Apollo I fire in 1967. Also, those aboard space shuttle Challenger who died during launch on Jan. 28, 1986. Some families held private burials but some are resting at Arlington. Three astronauts killed in the shuttle Columbia, on re-entry, on Feb. 1, 2003, Laurel Clark, David Brown, and Michael Anderson, are buried there. There’s a memorial for the 270 people who died in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, over Lockerbie, Scotland. And, 184 people who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, at the Pentagon. The architect who designed Washington, D.C., Pierre Charles L’Enfant, is buried there. You can see the Eternal Flame at the grave of John F. Kennedy, and his wife. Robert F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy are nearby, both with simple white wooden crosses. Generals and civilians, all buried with a proper military funeral service. As you leave you can visit the place where there is a statue of the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima. There was a scandal over the improper burials and mistakes discovered by the inspector general, reported June 9, 2010. It has been rectified and as of March 2011, they have added staff, from 102 to 159 people, and more equipment. Maybe some of us will make this Memorial Day simply a day of rest. It is a time for remembering, and a time to honor the sacrifice of all those servicemen and women who paid the ultimate price so we can live in freedom.

Friendship Commons by Theresa Sigmund
What a great day we had at our center. Everyone enjoyed the tea hosted by Diane Dryden on the afternoon of Saturday, May 16. The food was very good. The tea was excellent. We all had a very good time. We all dressed in our finest, hats and all. My daughter-in-law, Linda Sheldon Sigmund, won the door prize, which was a tea set. The book club met the morning of Friday, May 20. Peter Hubin joined us again. He discussed his book, “Barefoot Boy and other Drivel”. It is a very interesting book about life in the 1940s here in Shell Lake. The garden planters are ready to be planted. The Spanish class will start again Tuesday, June 7. Our Sunshine Girl quilt is coming along great. Our general meeting was held Monday, May 23, with potluck following. My garden here is all planted. Only my radishes are up. We had a lot of rain on Sunday. My friend, Marilyn, here at the apartments and I played Rummikub in the day room Sunday. “Laughter is the medicine of life.” ~ Menards flyer

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - CITY OF SHELL LAKE MAY 9, 2011 Mayor Peterson called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Council members present were Baker, Barnes-Haesemeyer, Bitney, Buckridge, Eiche, Graf and Leckel. Alderperson Pederson was absent. Also present were Jeff Parker, Clint Stariha, Teresa Anderson, Brad Pederson and nineteen people in the audience. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. PUBLIC COMMENT: Mayor Peterson noted comments will be limited to three minutes and once someone has commented they can only respond if requested by a council member. Harold Emanuel questioned when committee minutes, city council minutes, agendas, etc. will be placed on the City’s Web site. Mayor Peterson noted the City and Chamber of Commerce have recently hired someone new to manage the Web site, and she hopes she’ll have it set up soon so this information can be posted. Dan Hubin commented that money from the City’s General Fund should not be used toward the proposed courtesy dock and that he feels lake residents and users should provide the funding. Mr. Hubin also encouraged the City to comply with Federal, State and City regulations and ordinances. Eiche moved, seconded by Bitney, to approve the April 11, 2011, regular meeting minutes. Baker moved, seconded by Leckel, to strike the following from Courtesy Dock Committee: “Mr. Schultz explained that the committee would like to solicit donations for one half of the net cost of the dock with the City covering the balance.” The motion to amend the main motion and the main motion as amended carried Bitney moved, seconded by Graf, to approve the April 19, 2011, special meeting minutes. The motion carried. PLAN COMMISSION: The May 2, 2011, commission meeting minutes were reviewed. It was reported the commission approved a conditional use permit to Nick Rai, owner Vishav Hotels, Inc., d/b/a American Best Inns & Suites, 331 Highway 63 S., Shell Lake, WI, subject to restrictions stated in the application as to footage, area and use being confined to guests only with the condition that a decorative fence be constructed between the residential, church and hotel property. Alderperson Baker handed out copies of SEC. 13-1-66 STANDARDS – CONDITIONAL USES. Baker moved, seconded by Buckridge, for the City Council to deny the conditional use permit under Sec. 13-1-66 (a) that the establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; (b) that the uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood for purposes already permitted shall be in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by the establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use and the proposed use is compatible with the use of adjacent land; (c) that the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district and (i)(8) its compatibility with uses on adjacent lands. A roll call vote was taken: Graf-no, Barnes-Haesemeyer-no, Leckel-no, Baker-yes, Bitney-no, Eiche-no and Buckridge-yes. The motion failed. Eiche moved, seconded by Graf, to approve the conditional use permit. Concerns expressed by the public which included the following: distance from the hotel to the UTurn building, distance between the patios of those two buildings, distance to another establishment with a liquor license, enough places that serve alcoholic beverages already, hotel quests can purchase take-out alcoholic beverages and consume them on the hotel patio, should separate bars from churches, schools and residences, Shell Lake Full Gospel’s request for a conditional use request for a compassion house denied in that area, the Plan Commission’s requirement for the fence may not be binding as the hotel structure already blocks visibility to the proposed bar, noise and a lounge is a compatible use with a hotel and may enhance business. It was questioned if WI Stat. 125.68(3) pertaining to the 300-foot restriction for the main entrance of a Class “A” or Class “B” licensed premise from the main entrance of a school, church or hospital applied. It was noted City Attorney Kathy zumBrunnen researched this matter and informed the Mayor, Finance Committee Chair and City Administrator in a conference call that this distance is measured along the highway from a minimum of driveway intersection to driveway intersection which would exceed 300 feet. A roll call vote was taken: Buckridge-no, Eiche-yes, Bitney-yes, Leckel-yes, Baker-no, Barnes-Haesemeyer-no and Graf-yes. The motion carried. Jeff Parker reported on the Public Works Department’s activities. Clint Stariha reported on Police Department and zoning activities. Barnes-Haesemeyer moved, seconded by Bitney, to amend the agenda to deal with Parks and Recreation at this time. The motion carried. PARKS AND RECREATION: The April 20, 2011, committee meeting minutes were reviewed. Graf moved, seconded by Buckridge, for the City Council to pledge an appropriation of $20,000 toward the campground portion of the proposed courtesy dock subject to the WI DNR permit being approved and the balance of the necessary funds being raised through fundraising efforts by the Courtesy Dock Committee. Concerns about the project were voiced which included financial, maintenance, selfamortization of the proposed city financial commitment, uncertainty of pledges and timing of the project. Tom Klassa, from Shell Lake Marine, said they would carry the pledged amount on their books until the pledges are covered. Eiche moved, seconded by Graf, to amend the motion to include that the net revenue from dockage fees be applied to the advance by the General Fund. The motion to amend the main motion carried 6-yes 1-no. A roll call vote was taken on the main motion as amended: Graf-yes, Barnes-Haesemeyer-yes, Baker-no, Leckel-no.

SLHS Graduation 2011: “Dream on”
Valedictorian Amanda Hagen takes a few minutes to reminisce about the students lives at Shell Lake School and challenges them to face the future with the same energy and determination.
Shown are the happy faces of the 2011 Shell Lake graduating class in this brief milestone in their young and promising lives.
Photos by Larry Samson LEFT: A humorous moment from Marlo Fields gets a reaction from fellow student Brandi Evans, board President Jeri Bitney and Principal Don Peterson. Some things you are better off not knowing.
It is a Shell Lake tradition – at the completion of the ceremony the students throw their graduation caps into the air, shedding the past and moving on to the future. The cycle of life will be repeated in the fall as the juniors step up as seniors and a new bunch of very young but eager kindergartners step into their classroom for the first time.

Shell Lake has graduated and survived four Fields brothers. All will or have graduated from college, no small feat in these times. Marcus, Marco, and younger brother, Marlo Fields, pose for a photo on Marlo’s big day. Brother Marlon was not present for photo.
A graduation cap, yellow rose, tassel and diploma are the final remembrance of the 13 years that the Shell Lake 2011 graduates have spent together. Oh yes, and a lot of memories.
