Issue stemming from rental of lake home surfaces at zoning committee meeting
by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – The zoning committee of Washburn County met Tuesday, May 24, to hold their monthly public hearing and to hold an informational meeting on short-term rentals. Persons holding opinions from all over the county came to make their points. The zoning committee did not take action on short-term rentals at this meeting, but they did listen to several concerned citizens and a few vacation-rental owners. David Haessig, zoning committee chair, welcomed all comments. Jill Keefer presented a petition to the board to investigate and enforce current zoning laws that prohibit a business in a residential area. The petition has 55 signatures of neighbors of the Big Bear on Little Bear as advertised by the owners. This property is located on Little Bear Road on Long Lake. Currently, there are over 60 vacation rentals in Washburn County. Why does this vacation rental get so much attention? First off, the property is owned by a couple that does not live at the property and just rents it out during summer months to help pay taxes, but it was purchased exclusively as a vacation rental property that is available to rent for 365 days out of the year. It also is available to rent for as little as three days at a time. This unit is defined as a resort, according to the definition in the zoning rules and regulations. This property is undergoing remodeling now to accommodate even more families at the same time. Ed O’lund, retired Washburn County Board member, who also served on the zoning committee for years, spoke about the vacation rental home on Little Bear Road. O’lund stated that this property on Long Lake, Big Bear on Little Bear, meets the definitions as a resort because it is for recreational purposes only. O’lund also read the job description of the zoning

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – Jen White has been named the honorary chair for the Washburn County Relay for Life event, to be held this Friday and Saturday, June 3 and 4, at the Shell Lake High School. White is a cancer survivor. She has been battling cancer since 1981, when she was 17 years old. White has Hodgkin’s disease, a cancer that attacks the lymph nodes of the body. As the honorary chair for the Relay for Life, White will be taking the first lap. The relay begins with a survivors lap, an inspirational time when survivors are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories achieved over cancer. The survivors lap is an emotional example of how relay participants are creating a world with more birthdays like those of each individual on the track. Lacey Chambers, a childhood friend of White, died from Hodgkin’s disease last

Both Chambers and White went through radiation and chemotherapy to treat the cancer. White said she’s thankful that her cancer is in remission, but remembers how deadly the disease can be. She’s happy to be able to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society with the Relay for Life. White has a family, works as an insur-
ance representative and volunteers in her spare time. Her husband, Bob, and son, Cole, 10, have been a constant support system, she said. She commented on how far technology has come and how it has bettered the screening and treatment of Hodgkin’s disease. “It’s amazing the new equipment that they (the hospitals) have.” White has had three battles with the cancer, with the last episode in August of 2010. The American Cancer Society raises funds to assist local cancer patients and provides funds towards research as well. The American Cancer Society Relay for Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. To be part of the Relay for Life, contact Steve Clay at 715416-0486, or come to the event to show your support.

Needham selected as chief judge of 10th Judicial District
JUNE 1, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3
MADISON — The Wisconsin Supreme Court has selected St. Croix County Judge Scott R. Needham to serve as the chief judge of the 10th judicial administrative district. The 10th District is geographically the state’s largest judicial district, encompassing the circuit courts in 13 northwestern Wisconsin counties: Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Chippewa, Douglas, Dunn, Eau Claire, Polk, Rusk, St. Croix, Sawyer and Washburn. Needham was selected to fill the district chief judge post being vacated by Chief Judge Benjamin D. Proctor, Eau Claire County Circuit Court. Proctor announced his resignation from the bench
effective June 29. Needham will fill out Proctor’s unexpired term through July and start his own two-year term as chief judge on Aug. 1. Needham is District 10 deputy chief judge and presiding judge in St. Croix County, where he was first elected in 1994 and reelected in 2000 and 2006. In his 17 years on the bench, Needham has taken an active role in administrative and leadership issues, serving as chairman of the
statewide criminal jury instruction committee and having served on the judicial education committee, as well as other state and local committees. Needham worked in private practice in New Richmond from 1978 to 1994. In 2010, Needham was chosen Judge of the Year by the American Board of Trial Advocates. Needham thanked the Supreme Court for its confidence and expressed enthusiasm at the opportunity to work with his colleagues around the state Judge Needham on a variety of initiatives and issues facing the judiciary. Proctor said: “Judge Needham’s excellent working relationships with judges and court administrators throughout the state, his nances open to interpretation.” ability to think creatively and his willingReuben Johnson, owner of Northness to consider many points of view woods Compass, spoke about how his make him an ideal candidate for this pocompany represents 11 folks in Washsition.” burn County who rent out their homes during summer months. “I believe that this situation is becoming a unique situation.

However, John Johnson, director of education services at the state Department of Public Instruction, says Wisconsin’s ranking has been sliding since revenue control caps were enacted in the 1990s. “We’ve had revenue caps for 18 years, schools have been cutting expenses and spending for 18 years,” says Johnson. “When you look at these census reports from 10 years before, Wisconsin was 12th in the nation, now Wisconsin is 19th in terms of revenue supporting students.

The committee of chief judges is comprised of 10 chief circuit court judges selected by the Supreme Court to handle administrative matters for the state’s circuit courts. Working as a team with a deputy chief judge and a professional court administrator, they manage the flow of cases, supervise personnel, develop budgets and meet monthly as a committee to work on court-related issues of statewide importance. With the exception of Milwaukee, where the chief judge is a full-time administrator, chief judges and their deputies also maintain court calendars.

tom.” The cities of Beloit and Janesville will be holding some upcoming public meetings to discuss sharing additional services, like administration and animal control. Larry Arft, Beloit’s city manager, says he’s hopeful the discussions may result in some savings, but that they wouldn’t be nearly enough to cover the city’s estimated $1.3 million deficit. “We’ve done all of the things that you can do to trim out excess in a budget and we’re down now to pretty hard-core expenses,” says Arft. “The rounds of cuts that we’re looking at for 2012 are going to be painful. They will affect facilities, they’ll affect employees, and they’ll affect service levels.” Arft says Beloit’s budget deficit could increase by another half a million dollars if the governor’s collective bargaining law does not eventually go into effect. That law also requires most public workers to contribute more to their pension and health-care costs.
DPI: continuing revenue caps and latest budget will hurt state’s educational standing

Wisconsin is almost at the national average at this point, whereas Wisconsin was always considered a state that put a lot of resources into K-12 education.” On top of limits on how much revenue a district can raise on a per-student basis, the Legislature is now weighing a budget cut of nearly $800 million to education. Johnson says there’s no way to predict how that’ll affect per-student spending in Wisconsin, only that the revenue caps and cuts will have a big impact. “Less money for classrooms, and class sizes either go up, or different educational opportunities are shrunk such as art or music, or advanced placement classes, physical education classes. Those are the types of things school administrators said in a survey in the last month would be on a chopping block due to budget cuts.” Johnson cites census data that shows Wisconsin has also slipped in teacher salaries. Ten years ago the state ranked 11th, but now places at 22nd.

Memorial Day speech
PAGE 4 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - JUNE 1, 2011
Letters to the editor Last week, Bob Olson of Birchwood wrote about fixing Medicare. I agree with him that Medicare needs to be fixed. He likes Paul Ryan’s voucher system, which Congressman Duffy also likes, but Duffy refuses to admit it’s a voucher system. Under Ryan’s voucher plan you would
Walker Corporate Welfare get an inadequate subsidy with which to buy private health insurance. After that you are on your own. It is a cheap system but not too good if you need help. I don’t like that. Ryan’s plan would cut us citizens off from effective health care unless we are rich enough to privately pay for our needs. This looks like more
Walker Corporate Welfare. There is a better way such as exists in many other industrialized countries. How did we go so wrong?
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan has proposed eliminating Medicare as we know it, turning it over to private insurance corporations, which would offer various medical plans in exchange for government coupons. As citizens become aware of this trickery Ryan and the GOP legislators who support the plan are hearing from an angry public. Locally, our representatives who have publicly agreed with and voted for the Ryan Plan are Sen. Ron Johnson and Congressman Sean Duffy. Fortunately, five Republican senators voted with the Democrats to kill this bill, but not our own representatives.
Ryan said he is not giving up on his plan to fix Medicare, so watch out. Wendell Potter, a former health insurance company executive, has seen the light and now sides with his fellow man, not Big Health Insurance. Potter said the following during an interview on May 26 when questioned about how health-insurance companies feel about the Ryan Plan. Potter said that Ryan has support from the private insurance industry. “They want this plan, so they’ll be putting a lot of money into trying to help him (Ryan) educate, if you will, the American public
to see things their way. “It is a plan that the insurance industries dreamed up. They would like nothing more than to have the entire program handed to them and having premium support in the way of premiums that go from the government to the private insurance industry. It is a dream come true for the private insurance industry and as I said before, a nightmare for the senior citizens.”
According to the senate chief clerk and the attorney general of Wisconsin, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Maryann Sumi assumed a radical approach when she placed a temporary restraining order on Act 10 (The Budget Repair Bill) and delayed the publishing and the enactment of the law although it had been passed by both houses of the Legislature and approved by the governor. Her contrived rationale is an unjustifiable concern over time lines. Senate Chief Clerk Rob Merchant wrote, “In special session, under Senate Rule 93, no advanced notice is required other than posting on the legislative bulletin board. Despite this rule, it was decided to provide a two-hour notice by posting on the bulletin board. My staff, as a courtesy, e-mailed a copy of the no-
tice to all legislative offices.” Legislators went above and beyond the requirements of Senate Rule 93. Sumi appears to have exceeded her authority according to the opinion of Attorney General Van Hollen who wrote, “Decisions of the Supreme Court have made it clear that judges may not enjoin the secretary of state from publishing an act. Also, the secretary of state is without discretion to refuse to publish an act because of perceived procedural irregularities or constitutional concerns.” Further, senate rules prevail over the open meetings law because of an exemption in Wisconsin statute 19.87 (2). Sumi’s apparent partisan decision to block publication and enactment of the act raises concerns and her ruling should be called into question. In addition, there
is an apparent conflict of interest involving her son’s activities with unions. Under Wisconsin’s Code of Judicial Conduct, “A judge may not allow family, social, political, or other relationships to influence the judge’s judicial conduct, or judgment.” An ethical judge would have recused herself. When activist judges are allowed to decide which state laws are enacted simply by blocking legislation they oppose, judges with the support of a few disgruntled law makers can override the will of voters and sabotage the democratic process.
Thankfully, Gov. Walker protected Wisconsinites from crony capitalism and the fiscal burdens of light rail. Minnesota has included a $20 transit tax to the purchase price of automobiles to help cover light-rail losses. This taxation without representation and crony capitalism set legal precedents that weaken our constitutional freedoms and distort markets. Private industry uses its own dollars to invest in projects making them accountable for their own financial success. Through legislation, our government uses our tax dollars to manipulate markets and protect government-directed businesses from liability. For example, if the government wants to establish cap-and-trade, to subsidize embryonic stem-cell research, or to call for rail subsidies, General Electric sets up
shop to provide these subsidized services and hires Linda Daschle — wife of Sen. Tom Daschle — as a rail lobbyist. GE, a company struggling for many years, will appear viable if it receives our tax dollars to support each new failed government-directed industry. Government interference distorts stock values and destroys a fair playing field for businesses thereby removing integrity from our financial markets. Viability of government projects and the public need for them become irrelevant when financial failure is disguised through subsidization at taxpayer expense. The additional cronyism of making Jeff Immelt the head of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness practically guarantees that GE will receive our tax dollars to appear viable. Meanwhile, parents are taxed for services they do not
want and cannot use. The $20 transit tax could have paid for school supplies for a family that is struggling. Thanks to Walker, Wisconsinites have been spared this plundering of our hard-earned incomes. The promise of America is that its citizens will be free to use their incomes to provide for their families — not to support unwanted programs imposed by a government that wishes it were an entrepreneur. Protecting our sovereignty, our borders and our freedom is government’s responsibility — not manipulating business or spinning windmills or financing light rail!

Spooner woman donates hair for sixth time to Locks of Love
by Suzanne Johnson SHELL LAKE — It was an exciting morning on Wednesday, May 25, at Silver Shears Salon in Shell Lake. Jude Haaversen, Spooner, had 15 inches of her hair cut for Locks of Love by stylist Sheena Dahlstrom. This was the sixth time Haaversen donated her hair to Locks of Love, an organization that accepts human hair to be used toward wigs for children who due to a medical condition have lost their own hair. Haaversen stated that her hair grows about 6 inches a year, and therefore, every three years she has been able to donate hair. She commented that this would be her last time to grow her hair to be cut for Locks of Love, also confessing that she said that last time her hair was cut for donation.
I attended the Memorial Day ceremony at Northern Wisconsin Veterans Cemetery near Spooner on Sunday, just as I have since 2002, following my father’s death. Each year, several politicians or their representatives give a short talk. I was very dismayed over two major points when listening to Rep. Roger Rivard speak. 1. Rivard said that he had a high draft lottery number so he was not able to have the honor of serving in the military during the Vietnam War. I immediately turned to my husband to ask if I really heard him say that! I was in the sixth grade and remember the draft lottery one night in 1970 because my brother was a high school senior. He had a low draft number, meaning he would most likely be drafted into the Army so he enlisted in the Air Force upon graduation from high school that summer, following in our father’s footsteps. Roger, you did not need to be drafted to get into the service. You could have enlisted, as my brother and future husband did that year. Everyone back then, even this young sixth-grader, knew that people could enlist. Saying that having a high draft number prevented you from being in the service is a slap in the face to all those who served during the Vietnam War era. Several people noticed this comment also. Your comment was the subject of many conversations among people milling around the cemetery afterwards. 2. Politicians who come to speak at the Memorial Day ceremony tend to talk about the sacrifices that our veterans have made for our country and people. They rarely use the word “I.” I stopped counting how many times you said “I” during your speech before you finished. This day is about honoring our veterans and loved ones, not campaigning. You didn’t serve in the military, so you should not have talked about yourself. I look forward to the Memorial Day ceremony each year. It is a way that I can feel closer to my parents, as this is their final resting place. I am trying very hard to put this negative speech aside and focus on the other positive speeches that were given. I think you owe the Vietnam War veterans an apology for your draft comment and hope that you eliminate the word “I” when speaking at future Memorial Day or Veterans Day services. Mary Matthys Barron

On their own, they’d just sleep
by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - Kimberly Schafer, a Maple Grove, Minn., visitor to Shell Lake for the Memorial Day weekend, took her two dogs for their daily stroll through the neighborhoods of downtown Shell Lake. The dogs are purebred greyhounds that were part of the fostering program in which her family has been involved for years, training over 30 dogs to be house dogs and not racers. “The career span of a racetrack greyhound is short, four years maximum, so they need to learn to do common things like swim and walk up and down stairs before they go to their permanent homes with their new families,” Schafer said. It’s quite a process to train the dogs to be comfortable with stairs. Their paws have to be deliberately placed on the stairs just as a dog would place them in sequence and then it’s lots of encouragement to get them comfortable. Swimming is the same thing, and instead of doing the dog paddle like most dogs would, these purebreds just sink. Little doggie life vests are used until the dog feels comfortable enough to try swimming on its own. The two males in the picture are named Sizzle and Copper, and for the past two years Sizzle has been a blood donor at the U of M for other canines because he has a universal blood type.

Barn moving
BEYOND the Office DOOR Suzanne Johnson
In March, Art Swan wrote about the moving of a barn from the Henry Petz farm to the Warren Quam farm a few years back. Art wrote that he hadn’t seen a barn moved until that day. A professional moving company was hired to move the structure. I recently received a link to
MADISON – Heat can kill. That’s why Wisconsin Emergency Management and the National Weather Service are reminding people of the dangers associated with extreme heat and to promote safety measures. Heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in the United States. From 2000 to 2009, excessive heat claimed an average of 162 lives a year across the country. In 1995, two major killer heat waves affected most of Wisconsin, resulting in
YouTube with footage of a barn moving that took place in Bruno, Neb., to celebrate the town’s centennial in late July 1988. Herman and Mike Ostry needed to move their barn to higher ground so with a hearty heave-ho, 344 movers lifted the steel grid that was welded to make a frame around the barn and the group very slowly, very smoothly and very subtilely moved the barn while 4,000 people from 11 states came to observe. According to the book “American Barn” by Randy Leffingwell, the floor of the 1920s 28-square-foot barn on the Ostry farm would disappear under 29 inches of water when the nearby creek would flood. Since a professional moving company would charge more than

154 heat-related deaths and over 300 heat-related illnesses. Summer heat waves have been the biggest weather-related killers in Wisconsin for the past 50 years, far exceeding tornadoes and severe storms. To help keep cool this summer, here are some tips to keep safe in hot weather: • Never leave children, disabled persons, or pets in a parked car – even briefly. Temperatures in a car can become life threatening within minutes. On

Born at Cumberland Memorial Hospital A boy, Boden William, on May 20, 2011, to David and Jennifer Marker, Shell Lake. Boden weighed 7 lbs., 7 oz., and was 19-1/2” long. Maternal grandparents are Bill and Deb Archer, Rochester, Minn. Paternal grandparents are Brad and Colleen Marker, Shell Lake.
an 80-degree day, the temperature inside a car, even with the windows cracked slightly, can reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit in less than 10 minutes! • Keep your living space cool. Cover windows to keep the sun from shining in. If you don’t have an air conditioner, open windows to let air circulate. When it’s hotter than 95 degrees, use fans to blow hot air out of the window rather than to blow hot air on your body. Basements or ground floors are often cooler than upper floors. • Slow down and limit physical activity. Plan outings or exertion for the early morning or after dark when temperatures are cooler. • Drink plenty of water and eat lightly. Don’t wait for thirst, but instead drink plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid alcohol or caffeine and stay away from hot, heavy meals. • Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, lightcolored clothing. Add a hat or umbrella to keep your head cool … and don’t forget sunscreen! • Don’t stop taking medication unless your doctor says you should. Take extra care to stay cool and ask your doctor or pharmacist for any special heat advice. • Infants should drink breast milk or formula to get the right balance of water, salts and energy. You may supplement your infant’s fluids with an additional 4 to 8 ounces of water per day, but don’t dilute formula beyond what the instruc-
tions say, unless instructed by your doctor. • Taking a cool shower or bath will cool you down. A shower or bath will actually work faster than an air conditioner. Applying cold wet rags to the neck, head and limbs also cools down the body quickly. People at higher risk of a heat-related illness include: Older adults, infants and young children, people with chronic heart or lung problems, people with disabilities, overweight persons, those who work outdoors or in hot settings, users of some medications, especially those taken for mental disorders, movement disorder, allergies, depression, and heart or circulatory problems, and people who are isolated that don’t know when or how to cool off – or when to call for help. Possible signs of heat exhaustion: dizziness, headache, muscle cramps, weakness, nausea or vomiting. Call 9-1-1 for these symptoms: hot, dry skin, confusion, unconscious, chest pains, shortness of breath.

the Ostrys wanted to pay, son Mike did some calculations and came up with the weight of the barn with the steel grid being about 10 tons. He figured 350 people could lift 56 pounds each and that’s how it came to be that the barn was moved 115 feet south of its original spot and set six feet higher up on a gentle slope. The working group that day were clad in a variety of outfits: bibbed overalls, blue jeans and biking shorts, wearing tennis shoes or cowboy boots. They wore baseball caps or sweatbands. The important thing is that they worked together and accomplished the task set before them.

Ginseng growers face challenging future
by Teresa Shipley Wisconsin Public Radio MOSINEE - The Ginseng Board of Wisconsin warns that lean years are ahead for ginseng exports, despite a successful 2010. Last year, an early-spring snowstorm and late-summer rains combined to devastate much of Wisconsin’s ginseng crop.
Despite that double-whammy, ginseng export numbers jumped by almost 30 percent last year over 2009. Butch Weege is the director of international marketing for the Ginseng Board of Wisconsin. He says when last year’s disaster occurred, in reference to the Mother’s Day snowfall last May, ginseng growers had enough roots in the ground

that were harvestable come that fall. But Weege says farmers won’t have the same luck this year. He says the young crops that were 1 to 2 years old suffered substantially because they were either destroyed in total or their foliage was eliminated for the growing season. “And the plants just went dormant.

Kayla Greco and Patrick Zehm, along with other students of the horticultural class at Spooner High School, planted flowers in the large tubs that surround the outside area of the Spooner Health System Nursing Home. The horticulture students have been assisting in this way for the past several years. Each student planted one or two tubs, with a wide variety of annuals that they grew from seeds or cuttings in the school greenhouse. A space was left in each tub for the nursing home residents with an interest in gardening to plant a flower themselves. — Photo submitted

Butterfly Corner by Mary Ellen Ryall
SHELL LAKE — On May 23 Happy Tonics participated in the My Secret Garden event at the Comfort Suites in Hayward hosted by the Cable and Hayward Area Arts Council. The nonprofit’s theme was butterfly gardens. One of the highlights was showing Dakota Robinson’s storyboard that illustrates the migration route of the monarch butterfly from Mexico to Canada. The youngster started a petition to stop roadside spraying of herbicides and insecticides during migration season. Roads and rivers are the main travel route of monarch butterflies. Herbicides kill milkweed, the host plant and insecticides kill larva and adult butterflies. Many guests attending the garden gala were familiar with the plight of the monarch butterfly and signed the petition. Others also knew about Shell Lake’s Monarch Butterfly Habitat and plan to come this summer. On May 26 Mary Ellen Ryall and Dylan Hasbrouck attended a Destination Marketing Organization meeting, at Wild Rivers Outfitters in Grantsburg. Hasbrouck will be working with Happy Tonics this summer to help maintain the habitat. He is under Fresh Start’s umbrella, which is building a house in Shell Lake. Dylan will also be in training to learn Internet marketing skills at the nonprofit’s Visitors Center/Store at 25 Fifth Ave., Shell Lake. In the morning, I stopped at the habitat and did a walk through to see what was starting to grow. Milkweed is emerging and averages 2 inches to 6 inches tall. One colony of plants already has a monarch egg on each leaf. This is promising considering how cold and wet the spring has been so far. Remember monarchs do not fly when it is below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Monarchs return to Shell Lake about lilac time, which is about now. Native June grass is already up. Prairie smoke flower is budding. Oyster plant is at the edible stage. Native shrubs and trees are flourishing and

Library news
Visit the Shell Lake Public Library and check out a museum by Beth Carlson, library director SHELL LAKE — In a first-of-its-kind checkout, the Shell Lake Public Library announces museum and zoo passes are available at the Shell Lake Public Library. The passes are a partnership between the library and two cultural organizations, providing Shell Lake Public Library cardholders free passes to the Lake Superior Zoo and Duluth Children’s Museum. The program is designed to enhance the learning experience for people of all ages through books and other library materials and to provide access to arts and cultural organizations. “The passes are a truly innovative approach to education that the library is thrilled to support,” said Beth Carlson, director of the Shell Lake Public Library. “Our hope is that people who may not have access to the wonderful local arts and cultural scene will use this program as a learning tool for themselves and their families,
and realize that libraries are a great way to explore and learn something new.” How it works Shell Lake Library cardholders in good standing (no fines or overdues) may check out a pass. Passes will expire within three days or one week (depending on the museum or zoo) of the checkout date and must be returned to the library. There will be a fee if it is not returned or returned late. Passes are available on a first-come first-served basis. The Lake Superior Zoo pass will allow four admissions with one pass checked out at a time per person. The Duluth Children’s Museum pass will allow one adult with five children with two passes per household checked out at a time. It’s really and truly free, there is no catch! Library hours Library hours are: Monday, noon to 8 p.m.; Tuesday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday, noon to 8 p.m.; Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Legislators hear messages from electric cooperatives
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Electric cooperative leaders joined together this month to discuss issues with Congress at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. Their message for legislators was to keep electric rates affordable, while addressing new legislation. Barron Electric Cooperative directors Scott Warwick and Mike Baker, as well as Barron Electric’s General Manager Dallas Sloan, director of member services Cheryl Forehand and lineman Dan Ripplinger were among 60 Wisconsin delegates to join more than 2,400 from across the country. Issues discussed included: Renewable generation incentives: Without incentives designed for cooperatives, renewable generation is simply unaffordable for most electric cooperative consumers. New renewable generation remains significantly more
expensive to install than conventional gas or coal generation. NRECA encourages the inclusion of cooperative renewable incentives in any energy tax legislation. Properly managed coal combustion residual materials are safe and useful: Coal combustion residuals, or more commonly referred to as coal ash, are materials produced when coal is burned to produce electricity. When properly managed, coal ash offers environmental and economic benefits without harm to public health and safety. Regulatory treatment of coal ash as hazardous waste will create significant compliance costs at coal-based generation facilities. Dairyland Power recycles 90 percent of coal ash, therefore avoiding the need to landfill the material. Wisconsin DNR supports Dairyland’s coal ash recycling efforts. NRECA supports the development of nonhazardous regulations for CCRs that address both environmental protection and impoundment safety and is willing to work with the Lake Mall • Shell Lake Environmental Protection Agency to enhance the agency’s existing authority Office Supplies • Greeting Cards under a nonhazardous proFaxing • Laminating & Copy Service Available gram to ensure a consistent Mon. - Fri. 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. level of protection in all

states. Railroad competition: The Railroad Antitrust Enforcement Act is a significant step toward ensuring fair competition, guarding national economic and security interests, and protecting rail customers. Cooperative members thanked Sen. Kohl for sponsoring the Railroad Antitrust Enforcement Act and for his support of cooperatives in federal issues relating to the cost and availability of reliable electric service for rural Wisconsin residents. Coal rail transportation costs have increased significantly over the past five years due to replacing equipment and the lack of rail competition.
Electricity is intertwined with every American’s quality of life and the nation’s economic productivity. Therefore, it is important to pass legislation that can address energy and climate change objectives, while making electricity available and affordable to all Americans. Electric cooperatives around the country are urging their members to contact their U.S. representatives and senators to work with electric cooperatives to keep electric bills affordable. Visit www.ourenergy.coop and start a dialogue with elected officials. — from Barron Electric

Dave Wilson Memorial Day speech at Shell Lake
SHELL LAKE — The following is the speech presented by keynote speaker Dave Wilson at the Memorial Day services held in Shell Lake, Monday, May 30. Thank you for coming: When I got asked to speak at services today, all kinds of quotes came to mind. “Freedom is not free,” “land of the free because of the brave,” etc. There are several canned Memorial Day speeches, but I want to reflect some personal thought on those quotes. Coming from a family who has served in the armed forces, to include my grandfather, father, stepfather and all three of my older brothers, as well as myself with 21 years of service, I truly believe that the sacrifices made by the men and women in uniform are a true testament that the freedom enjoyed by so many comes at a cost. Whether that is giving their lives for another, or the look on a small child’s face with them not knowing if, or when Mom or Dad is coming home again. That cost is a burden carried by the loved ones of our service members that are fighting on the home front. Today we also honor the fallen. Originally Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, as it was called, was meant to decorate the graves of those lost in war as a way to commemorate and honor their service. Since then it has grown into a day of parades and picnics, but also a day to remember all of our honored dead — those that made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country, and those who live their lives as best they can after their service. We come here today to remember those whom President Lincoln said gave their “last measure of devotion.” Let us take a moment to remind ourselves of who it is that we are remembering. Ethnically they represent every race and color. Politically, they are Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians of every stripe. Religiously, they are Christians, Jews, Muslims and Atheists. The men and women in our armed forces are truly
a collage of the American landscape. We call them heroes, yet most say they are just doing their job. Throughout our nation’s 235-year-old history, millions of people have served in uniform, over eight million in World War II alone, and in that time approximately 1 million men and women have died in service to our country. Perhaps most tragically, about 60 percent of those were killed when we were fighting ourselves during our civil war. What they are today is a minority. Even when you combine all active, reserve, and guard forces currently serving, they represent just fewer than 3 million people. In other words, they are less than 1 percent of our country’s population. I will say that again, less than 1 percent of our country defends the freedoms that so many enjoy. Much has been said and written about this unique group. One fact that is commonly acknowledged is that not all military deaths happen in a blaze of glory. Sometimes they happen because of accident, disease, or just bad luck. Some would say “well that is war,” and they would be right, but it does not make their loss any less noble. During my own deployments and service, the people who wear the uniforms of our armed forces never cease to amaze me with their willingness to “embrace the suck” for the greater good of others. Imagine if other citizens would have the intestinal fortitude to do the same. The ones we remember here today gave their lives because they believe in the best parts of our national character. Each one of the veterans in attendance today was at some time willing to make that sacrifice, not because we agree with or like all of our fellow citizens, but because we believe in the right for us to express or disagree peacefully. Not for glory, but to protect those around them and the ideals we hold so dear. Today I ask that all veterans continue
to be the 1 percent who served in their hometowns and communities. Today, however, what remains are the memories of family and friends. We help them heal through rituals such as this one, the music you provide, the parades you march in, the toasts you give and the prayers you lift up. These acts help those that remain to greater appreciate our own lives and remind the families left behind that their service stood for something. Many of you have heard or read the poem that says something like … It is the veteran, not the pastor, that gave freedom of religion, the veteran, not the journalist, that gave us the freedom of the press and so on … While I believe there is truth to this, I ask the question, “Are we really given rights?” After all, we just follow orders. I say no, we protect those rights. We took an oath that we would support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. In other words, we protected your rights, we defended your rights, but will you use them? There is a great story about Ben Franklin. I have no idea if it is true but, given his other writings, it seems entirely plausible. As he was leaving the constitutional convention in Philadelphia he was asked outside the hall, “Well, what will we have? A republic or a monarchy?” His response was, “A republic, if you can keep it.” That is a question we must still ask ourselves today. It is under constant threat from without, but perhaps more disturbingly, from within. Ladies and gentlemen, we in uniform and the veterans before us have given you a gift. Imagine your dream vehicle. Would you keep it in the garage and never drive it? Of course not, you would take it out and see what it could do. More than that, you would take care of it to make sure it would run for a long time. Your gift from us is that vehicle. Will you take care of it? Even better, will
Sgt. 1st Class Dave Wilson
you acknowledge and respect the rights of others to drive their own dream cars? Will you do your best to sort out all the different messages you receive to figure out what is true? Will you respect others rights under all of our amendments, not just the ones you like best? Will you ask the hard questions of our government officials and of each other? If we are going to ask that our sons, daughters and their families are to sacrifice their lives, time, energy and money, let us make sure it is for a noble reason that supports and defends our constitution. I take comfort in knowing that someday, hopefully many somedays from now, people will march and speak and raise a glass and I will be one of those included in the honored dead. Until that day, may each of us live our lives every day to honor their sacrifice by defending and living out the rights and responsibilities they cared about, and may we each exemplify the best of our national character. Thank you.

In 1998, the cooperative began giving its $300 scholarship to a graduate at each of the seven public schools in Burnett and Polk counties and the cooperative’s board of directors voted that same year to raise the amount to $750, beginning with the 1999 scholarships. In 2005, Shell Lake became the eighth area public school to receive the cooperative’s yearly award. Recipients of the scholarships are chosen based on academic excellence, an interest in journalism or photography and on recommendation by scholarship committees. Receiving the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association scholarships this year were: Elizabeth Otto, Siren; Mason

Even the organization knows the name is controversial
by Diane Dryden SPOONER - Each year, the Yellow River Gardens, located on Hwy. 70 east of Spooner takes a portion of the money you spend on certain plants and gives it to a charity. Last year it was their Wave Goodbye to Hunger campaign and the money went to the local food pantry. This year it will be going to the Save the Tatas foundation. Yes, you read the name right and yes, some of you are offended. Oddly enough the people who chose the name knew this would happen because even their Web site mentions that some people find the name downright offensive. Others think it sheds light on, and makes it easier to talk about an uncomfortable topic.” On the savethetatas.com Web site they even encourage people to add their own comments when finding the name in poor taste, but their purpose for using this term does exactly what it’s meant to do: draw attention to breast cancer. The foundation wants the public to go a step further and determine to wipe out this disease by supporting research. Linda and Jim Berger, owners of Yellow River Gardens, will be using the money raised through product and plants for local
northern Wisconsin women who are currently in treatment for breast cancer and are having a hard time paying their medical bills. On June 4 and 5, which is a Saturday and Sunday, not only will the gardens be selling selected pink plants for the cause, but there will also be hats, shirts, aprons, bracelets and bumper stickers for sale, as well as food items, featured in a clever pink bake sale with pink lemonade and lots of pink treats. Now you don’t have to feel guilty about eating and shopping because you’ll know where your money is going. Once again this year the gardens are also giving you a chance to enter their Yard of the Month contest that runs from June through August if you live within a 20-mile radius of their facility. This year’s theme is Express Yourself and you need to bring three photos in June to qualify for July judging and July photos for the final month, August. The winner will get a unique handpainted sign to be put in their yard for the entire month. Another aspect of their summer ideas came to fruition because everyone knows the number of valuable bees, the chief pollinators of all plants, are fewer each year due to colony collapse disease so, to en-

courage their health and welfare, the gardens are also featuring “Bee Friendly” plants throughout the garden that will be marked with adorable plastic foam baby bees flying overhead or nearby. They’ll be near plants like larkspur, nicotiana and zinnias, and plants that bloom in purple, violet or yellow; some of the bees’ favorite colors. Bees especially love plots of color which have flowers that bloom consecutively all summer long, and this is a great place to mix annuals in with the perennials in order to keep the color going from spring to fall. If you’re a start-from-scratch gardener, there will also be a huge assortment of seeds available and the gardens are open and ready for business. You might not like the name of their chosen charity this year, but they encourage you to come out and support the cause by buying colorful plants, if not some of the gear marked with logos, in order to help women who have been told, “You’ve got cancer, and it’s in your breast.” For more information call Jim or Linda Berger at the Yellow River Gardens at 715635-7995. It’s a number that will get you directly into the greenhouses.

Barronett by Judy Pieper
Good morning everyone! We are in beautiful Guam, basking in the sunshine, and enjoying getting to know our grandchildren. We are visiting with son and daughter-in-law, David and Ruth Pieper, and our grandchildren, Jacklin, Jasmine, Janelle, David and Dexter. We are having a wonderful time. David and Ruth have a garden where they grow lots of stuff, but right now the big thing is harvesting little tiny red peppers. We have helped them pick a couple of times. The kids are way better at it than we are, but we do try. The island is only about 31 miles long and, at the widest part, it’s about 11 miles across. David and Ruth had an extra car for us, so we’ve been driving all over the island. It’s pretty hard to get lost in an area this size, and just about everyone speaks English, so we’ve been having a lot of fun exploring. David and Ruth are going to take us on an official tour of the island, show us battle sites, etc., sometime this week. They took us to Chamorro Days in Agana on Wednesday evening. It was great! There were all kinds of native food, naturally, and we saw native dancers and a caribo — looks like a water buffalo. Can you believe that I forgot to bring the camera that evening? We’re going to go back next Wednesday so I can take some pictures. We attended David Jr.’s, eighth-grade graduation on Wednesday, and will be going to Jasmine and Jacklin’s high school graduation on June 6. We have met a lot of

Ruth’s family, and will be meeting more of them at a barbecue that they have planned. I’ll tell you more about that next time. Oh, one thing. If you have heard how terrible airline food is, don’t believe it. We flew over on Delta, and the food was excellent. Not only that, they had two full meals and two substantial snacks on the flight between Detroit and Tokyo, so we never had to wait too long for food. I talked to Suzy Lehmann this morning, and she said that you are having some cool weather back there. She said that the farmers are in the fields getting the crops in anyway. Ryan, and the rest of the family, have been working day and night to get everything planted. Don Lehmann’s sister and nephew, Margaret and John Contos, traveled from Colorado to visit with the family. The family had a big cookout at the hunting shack last Sunday to celebrate Don’s birthday and so all the family and friends could get together and visit with Margaret and John. You know, I’m supposed to be baby-sitting for Tru one day a week while her mom and dad work, but Suzy assured me that the “good grandma,” Anitia, has been picking up the slack in my absence. Dang! I should have brought her with us — Tru, I mean. Suzy also said that Tinille and Miriah had been horseback riding this past week, and that Miley will be ready
for me when I get home. I’m so looking forward to riding horses with the girls. I talked to Geri Pittman this morning, too, and she said that the salad luncheon was very successful. She said that there were guests from several other churches that joined them for lunch. One man liked the potato salad so much that he bought some to take home. If you did miss the luncheon this year, don’t worry. We’ll have another one next year that you can come to. Geri said that she and Mel were sitting at the kitchen table a couple days ago and Mel spotted a huge black bear walking up the driveway. She said that it was a male and he looked like he must weigh about 350 pounds. He just moseyed along for a while and then headed into the woods. A couple of weeks ago Geri gave me a very funny joke about bear hunting — about Green Bay Packer fans using a Viking fan for bear bait. Now, if Mel invites us over for coffee and cookies during bear season, I think that we’ll probably think twice about accepting the invitation. You know, of course, that Duane and I are Viking fans. I guess that’s about all I’ve heard from Barronett this week. I hope you had a very nice Memorial Day and a fun three-day weekend. See you next time.

Sarona
by Marian Furchtenicht
Salute to June, the Dairy Month. Agriculture is more than a business, it’s a way of life and the hand that feeds you! June is dairy breakfast month time, too. Barron County’s is Saturday, June 4, at Dority Valley Dairy in Dallas and Washburn County’s is the following Saturday at the Washburn County Fairgrounds in Spooner. There was a lot going on over the weekend with the Memorial Day events. The cemeteries look so nice, all mowed and decorated with the flags and flowers. There was Spooner High School graduation on Friday night and open houses held. Congratulations to the graduates. There was an open house for Justin Dennis at the Sarona Hall Park on Saturday. Mavis Schlapper went to Stevens Point for granddaughter Ashley’s high school graduation on the weekend. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht and their grands, Jillian and Jaxson, went to Ripon to her niece Rachel Studt’s high school graduation and open house. Bev and Mike Gallo were up from the Twin Cities. They had visited Dave and Kris Schilling, and I was out in the yard so they stopped with a hi and bye. Nice to see them. Chuck Neely, Luck, was at the cemetery in Sarona getting history on his grandmother’s side, the Kubunde family that lived next to me where Al Loew now lives.

Can you believe May is almost gone? We continue to have cool nights but not too bad days. Friday it was sunny, only in the 50s and they predicted rain. Sympathy to the family of Kenny White, 82, who passed away on Tuesday, May 24. His memorial service was held on Thursday, May 26, at the United Methodist Church. It was a nice service with a good attendance. His six children were in attendance. Steve (Barb) White, Judy (Dennis) Adams, Keith (Mary) White, Mike (Peggy) White, Kevin (Jill) White and Kristi White. Coffee and cake were served after the service.

He came and visited me but I wasn’t much help as that was before my time and no Aage Duch to ask. As we get older, we get more interested in our roots it seems and wished we would have asked more questions and took more notes when we had someone to ask. Some of the Sarona Methodist folks have been faithfully getting together often working on articles and pictures for a book and making plans for the 100th celebration coming up in August. Their outdoor worship at 9 a.m. on the rear patio began Memorial Day and goes through Labor Day if the weather permits. Keith and Vicki Halverson are grandparents of a new little one named Saryanna Lynn, born May 26, in Eau Claire to daughter Jessica. This makes their third grand. Congratulations to all. Remember the Relay For Life cancer walk is Friday, June 3, 6 p.m., at the Shell Lake track.

along with a couple of his former Shell Lake workers. He worked for the city and watered the hanging baskets before he retired. Daughter Mary (Keith) White, Jeremy and Chad drove up from Madison, and Gina White from Stillwater, Minn., Thursday. Sue and Larry Winner of Solon Springs came to pick up Helen V. Pederson to meet Jeff and Brenda and Lori Crey for the service. After services we went to the cemetery to leave flowers at Floyd and Denny’s grave. The cemetery looked so nice but I don’t think real flowers were put out yet with the unpredictable weather. Let’s remember the veterans. Amy Bolterman of Minot, N.D., is spending several days with her parents, Jude and Myron Bolterman. On Saturday the Boltermans attended the open house for Kali Campbell, daughter of Jim and Joni Campbell. She graduated from Spooner Friday night. On Thursday, Mavis and Roger Flach attended the Shell Lake softball game in Shell Lake against New
Spooner on Wednesday evening. Congratulations to her. Elfreda West’s cousin, Thelma Fortin, visited her one day en route from Florida to her summer home in Grand Rapids, Minn. The Frey family, Wayne and Mari Berman, Dave and Kelly Stoner, spent the Memorial Day weekend at the Frey cabin on Little Ripley. I have a woodpecker that pecks on my satellite dish on the roof above my bedroom that wakes me around 5 a.m. My daughter-in-law says there one that pecks on their window air conditioner unit that wakes them. The lilacs are so beautiful and their aroma so breathtaking right now. So enjoy them as they don’t last long.

Roy is the son of Alf and Evelyne Peterson of the Heart Lake area. Wendell Lee Turpin of Whiting is spending a few days working on his lot here. Lillian Ullom attended the graduation of the preschool children in Cumberland. Her great-great-granddaughter, Sadie Horton, was a member of the class. Glenview was entertained to a sing-along with Jo Hendrickson on Wednesday afternoon. Our prayers go out to all the tornado victims all over the country, especially Joplin, Mo., which obliterated the city. It’s important to make someone happy every day, even if it’s just yourself. Have a good and safe weekend.

RE/MAX ISLAND CITY 1215 Elm Street, Cumberland, WI 54829
Ph.: 715-671-0200 800-511-2615 SHELL LAKE — In November of 2010 the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office was able to purchase a used ambulance for the special response team to be used as an emergency response vehicle and mobile command post. The purchase was made, in large part, due to the generosity of the Minong Area Ambulance Service which dramatically reduced the purchase price. C & J Body Shop from Spooner, as in previous years, donated their time and supplies to strip and repaint the SRT vehicle. In addition, the local paint distributor for PPG, Ken Guy, donated the paint for the project. Dan Jaastad from Barronett also donated his time and materials to do some
modification to the interior of the vehicle. The graphics and detailing were done by Ron Helstern of Woodland Signs in Cumberland. SRT members also donated their time in prepping the vehicle and modifying it to meet their needs. — from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office

When Leonardo da Vinci was painting the Lord’s Supper an aide carelessly spilled the paint. The artist threw down his brush and bitterly berated the boy. Brokenhearted, the boy ran out of the studio. The artist picked up his brush and started to paint the face of our Lord, but he couldn’t. His creativity was gone! Running to the boy, he said, “As Christ forgives me, I forgive you. Come back. My mistake of anger was worse than your mistake of spilling paint.” The boy returned, and the artist painted the face of our Lord in a matchless manner. Destroy anger, or anger will destroy you!

Quigley honored in statewide health-care Employee Pride Program Award SPOONER — Susan Quigley, activities director at Spooner Health System, recently received recognition from the Wisconsin Health Care Employee Pride Program. In March, Wisconsin health-care employees were encouraged to submit a short essay describing what led them to choose an occupation in health care. One employee was selected from each facility to receive honor and recognition at the state level. “As the elderly population increases, it is more important than ever to ask yourself if you have what it takes to become a caregiver,” writes Quigley. “Chances are if you have ever loved, cared for and understood a person in a capacity that made a difference in their lives, then the answer would be yes.” The program, sponsored by the Wisconsin Hospital Association, is designed to celebrate the health-care workforce and recognize the outstanding contributions they make to the health of their communities, according to WHA President Steve Brenton. “The individuals staffing our hospitals are among Wisconsin’s most dedicated and valuable employees. It takes special people to care for others and our communities are richer, safer and healthier places to live because of these professionals,” Brenton said. “Whether they are on the front lines, or supporting those who deliver patient care, every health-care employee helps improve the health status in the community where they live and work.” “Sue has been the activity director at Spooner

Tornado assistance wrapping up in La Crosse
by Steve Roisum Wisconsin Public Radio LA CROSSE - The local Red Cross is slowly winding down its role in helping La Crosse area residents recover from a recent tornado. Cheryl Hancock is with the American Red Cross Scenic Bluffs chapter. She says more than 40 volunteers put in 12-hour days, distributing over 3,000 items, including meals, snacks, gloves and rakes to La Crosse tornado victims. "In the first few days after a disaster, we're there to provide services for those people to get them back on their feet and help them become independent again," says Hancock. "There are other agencies with roles beyond that, but our role is to respond immediately." Hancock says the American Red Cross Scenic Bluffs chapter hasn't completely wrapped up yet. Workers will next reach out to people who haven't come forward yet – who've lost their homes or are dealing with major repairs – to work with them as they meet with landlords and insurers. She estimates they'll see between 40 to 47 cases. Hancock says local donations have helped pay for the Red Cross' expenses. She says the final bill for the Scenic Bluff chapter's efforts will come to about $27,000, with $7,000 coming from donations.
