Marge Reinhart, a “quiet giver” dies at 79

SHELL LAKE/LA CROSSE - Marjorie “Marge” Reinhart, who along with her husband, D.B. (“Rhiny”) were philanthropists for several causes, including improving the community of Shell Lake, died May 30 at her home in La Crosse. She was 79. Marge, who together with her husband owned and operated Reinhart Food Service for many Marge Reinhart years, was described as a “quiet giver,” who stepped up in La Crosse and Shell Lake, supporting hospitals, the Catholic church, schools and the arts in the years following her husband’s death in 1996. The couple spent many summers at their Shell Lake cottage and considered the city their family gathering place. They showed their love of the city through donations, public and private, to educational and social causes, including a substantial gift toward the building of the new high school several years ago. Marge’s giving also made an impact on the city of La Crosse, where she gave millions to various causes. “In any direction you look, you can see the influence she and the Reinhart family have had — in the arts, children, education, higher education and the medical community,” said Peter Grabow, executive director of Mayo Clinic Health System-Franciscan Health Care Foundation, in an article published this week in the La Crosse Tribune.

Pedestrian struck on Spooner street

by Jessica Beecroft SPOONER - Tamala Rankila, 47, Spooner, was hit by a truck crossing Elm Street in Spooner at approximately 2:45 p.m., Sunday, June 5. The pedestrian, Rankila, was walking northbound across Elm Street, between Pillar’s restaurant and the Dairy Queen parking lot. A vehicle was waiting for Rankila to cross. A truck driven by Donald Nordstrom, Trego, was eastbound on Elm Street on the inside lane. Nordstrom attempted to make a southbound

Superintendent Nord prepares for life outside of school by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – Brian Nord announced earlier this year he was resigning his position as superintendent at the Shell Lake High School, effective July 1. The new superintendent, Jim Connell of Turtle Lake, is going to be taking the position on July 1. Nord is taking time to work with Connell to assure a smooth transition. Nord has been working as the superintendent for the school for about three years. “I like working with kids,” he said. “With this job you don’t see them as much. This job is a lot more of the business end of school. It’s really important stuff, but it’s not like working with the kids. That’s what school is about; the teachers and the kids.” Nord first started working for the Shell Lake School District in 1993. He began as a guidance counselor, then took a couple of other jobs, which included working as a guidance counselor in Spooner and serving as an elementary principal in Siren, before coming back to Shell Lake as the elementary principal in 2004 until 2007, when he took the superintendent position. Future plans? “I really truly don’t know what I’m going to do next,” he said, adding that he plans on spending time with his grandkids and deciding what his next steps will be. Nord said a run for school board or any other public office is probably not in his future, saying that his experience as a member of the city council

Relay for Life event brings county total to $70,000 in fight against cancer

Celebrate ... remember ... fifigght back!

by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – The 2011 Relay for Life was a great success according to Steve Clay, Relay for Life Washburn County director. So far this year, Washburn County has raised approximately $70,000 in the fight against cancer. The largest contributing teams were: Washburn County employees, the Indianhead Medical Center and BR Trucking. Even Larry the Cable Guy donated to local fundraising for the charity. The event had more activities than ever this year. On Friday, June 3, almost 300 people came to celebrate life, remember those lost, and to fight back against cancer. The event was held at the Shell Lake High School track, and over 100 stayed for the whole night. Activities ran from 6 p.m. – 8 a.m. The opening ceremony included the presentation of the American flag, the national anthem, a prayer by the Rev. Greg Harrell, a speech by Honorary Chair Jenn White and a kickoff welcome from Steve Clay. The Hawaiian-themed relay kept the celebration going all night long. Several campers and bonfires were up at the Shell Lake track. The relay even had a king’s breakfast put on by the Shell Lake Fire Department. The luminary ceremony, to honor friends and family fighting cancer and the loved ones lost to cancer, brought tears and hope. The American Cancer Society has led cancer research for the United States and has already played a huge role in cancer prevention. Thanks in part to the generous contributions to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, the society is saving lives by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. The goal is to create a world where more people survive cancer so they can celebrate another birthday. This year more than 11 million people will be able to do that thanks to the support of millions of dedicated relay participants.

Spooner principal retires after 29 years

by Jessica Beecroft SPOONER – Robert Kinderman, Spooner High School principal, is retiring after 29 years at the Spooner School District. Kinderman worked eight years as an agriculture teacher, 10 years as assistant principal and 11 years as a principal. When he was in college for four years, he worked as a school bus driver. He’s had all of his adult career in school systems. He also works as the director for community education through WITC. “If you find a job that you love, you’ll never work a day in your life,” Kinderman said, quoting a popular saying. “It

is so true.” He added that he has truly enjoyed his time in Spooner and plans on continuing to go to school board meetings, games, concerts, and being active with the teachers and kids. “They are my family.” “This place means everything to me. There’s no way on God’s green earth that I could walk out of this place and not care anymore - I never wanted them to be able to say I coasted to the finish.” Kinderman said he’s having a hard time believing that he’s going to be walking out the school doors in a short time and not be constantly planning. He mentioned his future plans.

MADISON — The number of singlefather households in Wisconsin is increasing, according to Census 2010 figures released in mid-May. The census data shows the number of households with children under age 18 headed by single fathers has risen by 35.2 percent since 2000. The largest growth among family households in the state was reported for single-father households with children. Single-mother households with children reported the next largest growth, at 13.4 percent, well below the 35.2 percent reported by single-father households. More than 15,000 additional family households with children were headed by single fathers in 2010 than in 2000. A similar increase was reported for singlemother households, at 17,336. “Single-mother households outnumber single-father households, yet the rate of growth is much higher among single-father households,” says Katherine Curtis, UW-Extension demo-

graphic specialist and faculty affiliate of the UW-Madison’s Applied Population Laboratory. “As a society, we tend to focus on single-mother households because of our traditional ideas about the responsibility of parenthood. We typically look to mothers to take responsibility for children.” The growth in single-father households suggests more fathers might be taking responsibility. Single-parent households result from divorce, death or parents not marrying. “The Census 2010 data do not tell us what is causing the increase in singleparent households, nor does it provide information on the consequences,” says Curtis. However, she adds, one challenge faced by single-parent families is that there is likely only one adult earner in the household. The number of family households with children headed by fathers grew from 42,757 to 57,788 between 2000 and 2010. Despite this growth, single-parent families remain mostly headed by fe-

“The first thing is to just take some days off. I realized when I decided to retire that I have never had two weeks off.“ Kinderman used to lead kayaking trips and is an active outdoorsman. He plans on enjoying some time off this summer. Todd Johnson will be the new high school principal. He is currently the assistant principal at the high school. Kinderman ends with, “It is very important to me that I know I am leaving this place in good hands. This place means everything to me.”

State patrol law of the month

Slower traffic keep right: Drivers must allow faster traffic to pass in the left lane on divided highways

SPOONER — Many divided highways in Wisconsin have signs that warn “slower traffic keep right.” That advice is backed by state law. Any vehicle traveling at less than the normal speed of traffic must be driven in the right lane (or as close as practicable) except when overtaking or passing another vehicle, according to Wisconsin law. A citation for violating this law costs $213.10 with four demerit points assessed on the driver’s license. “Even when you’re driving at the posted speed limit, you should not try to force faster drivers to slow down by blocking the left lane, which usually leads to more tailgating, road rage and other problems. It certainly doesn’t slow down other drivers for long,” says Captain Jeff Frenette of the Wisconsin State Patrol, Northwest Region. “We hope that

turn onto River Street and did not see Rankila crossing. Rankila was struck with both front and rear tires of the truck, causing severe injuries. Rankila was airlifted to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for treatment. According to Officer Steve Pank of the Spooner Police Department, Rankila received “substantial injuries,” however, he said the staff at Regions is hopeful that she will be OK. Officer Pank could not go into details. The accident remains under investigation at this time. The Spooner Police Department, Wis-

drivers will leave enforcement of speed limits to our troopers and other law enforcement officers. If faster drivers want to waste gasoline and risk a speeding ticket, you should move to the right lane and get out of their way.” The State Patrol advises motorists to follow these guidelines to help maintain a safe flow of traffic on Interstate and other divided highways: If you’re not passing another vehicle, use the right lane as much as possible. If you’re in the right lane, allow other drivers to merge from the left lane into the right lane so that faster traffic can pass in the left lane. In addition, provide space for vehicles to merge into the right lane when they are entering a roadway from an on-ramp. If you’re in the left lane, don’t tailgate or try to make a slower vehicle ahead of you move to the right lane. Be patient and courteous. Captain Frenette says, “When slower moving vehicles use the right lane, traffic flows more smoothly with less congestion and road rage, which certainly helps make our highways safer and more efficient.” — from Wisconsin State Patrol Northwest Region Spooner Post

consin State Patrol, Washburn County Sheriff’s Office and North Ambulance personnel responded to the accident at Elm Street, by the intersection to Hwy. 63. Francis Smith, a waitress at Dana’s Riverside Restaurant said a man ran into the restaurant and yelled for someone to call 911 because someone was hit by a car. Witnesses said they knew Rankila had survived the accident because they could see her moving.

males. Married-couple households with children are still the majority of family households with children in Wisconsin, even though their number declined by 10.2 percent. Married-couple households made up 68.5 percent of the state’s family households with children in 2010 as compared to 74.2 percent in 2000. At the same time, the number of all married-couple households increased by 2.1 percent. The total number of family households with children declined by 2.7 percent between 2000 and 2010. “The overall decline in families with children reflects the trend for marriedcouple households since they make up the majority of family households in Wisconsin,” says Curtis. “A decline in married-couple households with children could result from married Baby Boomers whose children have grown, lower birth rates and smaller family sizes, or a delay in decisions to get married and/or have children.” The state’s child population declined by 2.1 percent, falling from 1.37 million in 2000 to 1.34 million in 2010. Census data also show a 40.8-percent increase in unmarried-partner households and a 15.2-percent increase in households where people live alone. These households are not reported as family households, but the increase might be associated with trends in single-parent households, because some of these households are made up of parents who have not married or of divorced parents whose children were residing with the other parent on Census Day, April 1, 2010. Most counties in the state reported an increase in the proportion of single-father households. St. Croix County reported the biggest growth at 75 percent, followed by Lafayette, 60.5 percent; Sauk, 59.4 percent; and Buffalo, 58.6 per-

cent counties. Four counties reported a decline in the proportion of single-father households, including Bayfield, Forest, Menominee and Price counties. Bayfield County reported the largest decline at 25.9 percent. Forest County reported no change, while all other counties reported significant growth or decline in single-father households. “Changes in households have implications for communities ranging from school enrollment to residential choices,” according to Curtis. “Current and future classroom and housing demands are affected by demographic changes in households.” Tables and a map summarizing select state and county trends are available at http://www.apl.wisc.edu/publications /WIHouseholds_2010.pdf. — from UWExtension

Letters to the editor

Gratitude is extended to the unthanked

This is my expression of gratitude. Please accept this as my apology to all those who volunteer their time. Whether it is directly to me or my family. You know who you are: the coaches at baseball, wrestling, football, basketball and soccer; church meetings, street dances, art fairs, PTA/PTO, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Skating Club, Prairie Fire Theatre and Town and Country Days. Yes, this list could go on and on. I found myself reminded that as I complained about my son’s coach, he is doing his best with his time, patience and expertise to help my son and those others on the team learn how to play a game. I complained because I can’t see my son play the whole game. Maybe he shouldn’t; blaming the coach who is volunteering is not the answer. My patience

and practicing with my son is. I volunteer in several things that help make this a great community. The Easter egg hunt, Town and Country Days, street dances and whatever baked good I can possibly whip up for whatever event I can, I do. Yet, many of us, yes me too, complain, blame and whine about the things that aren’t happening that we want or expect to see at various times of the year. If everyone in this community took 30 minutes to one hour a month to give back, we could see this town strive to its true greatness. If no one gives of himself or herself to its betterment it will fail. I see the same people at events donating time after time, and sometimes at the worst possible time in their lives, to make this a better community, yet hear

others constantly whine that they didn’t get that great of a prize at the Easter egg hunt, that so-and-so always wins. I always do this with my family, but not this year, it didn’t happen. Please think of one time, “How could I have helped to make this happen?” What is two hours a month and four hours on one weekend to see the fulfillment of wishes and expectations? To all those who see the benefit of giving of themselves, time and sometimes that valuable family time … thank you from one ungrateful volunteer to other volunteers.

As I sit here at my desk this Monday morning, I can’t help but be reflective of the awesome thing I witnessed Friday night/Saturday morning I was at the Washburn County Relay for Life. I walked all night. I didn’t miss a lap. This isn’t my first time with Relay but the first time I did the all-nighter. I was asked a couple of months ago to join the Lake Mall Walkers group. Being I work in the Lake Mall building and I am one who really doesn’t know the word no, I said sure. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to walk with. We had a nice little campsite set up next to Indianhead Medical Center/Terraceview (The Mark Parker’s). My gratitude to all of you, Gerry, Jerry, Joyce, Susan, Larry, Suzanne, Milt, Janice, Rikki, Joleen, Jessica, Mark and Joni. You made the night a real treat! Stories were going back and forth along with reminiscing about “the good old days” in Shell Lake. But the real story here is the night, the reason, the hope. I lost both of my parents to lung cancer. Cancer is an ugly thing. It breaks families’ hearts. It robs us of our roots. Events like this will hopefully kill the cancer that robs us of our loved ones. I witnessed a community of hope at this walk. From the awesome

committee that works months to pull it off to the walkers. It is really something that each one of us should witness. The luminary ceremony was very emotional for me. There were luminary bags lit all around the high school track. With bags in the stands spelling out the word HOPE, later reading CURE. The lights were shut off and that is what lit our way around the track. As I walked I saw names of friends whom I have lost, neighbors who were always there for me, a schoolmate whom I started kindergarten with and walked across the stage with for high school graduation, my dad’s hunting buddy, people whom I remember from my childhood and former co-workers who lost their battle, my mom, my dad. There was a luminary for my sister’s high school boyfriend who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Then there were the bags for the survivors. These are large victories. As I am making my way around the track, Don Bruce is reading the names and messages of those whose names were written on the bag. Very humbling. Very reflective. Gratitude is extended to all of you who worked so hard to make this happen; to all that donated; to the walkers; the medical community who work daily to find a

cure; and the Shell Lake Fire Department for the awesome pancake breakfast. From someone whose family cancer has attacked, I am very thankful and very optimistic that this dreaded cancer will be defeated. As the day ended on Saturday, I left the track with very sore feet, a very tired body, a grateful spirit and a heart of hope. Jill Schlapper Spooner

CLAYTON — A beef pasture walk, featuring Kura clover, will be held Saturday, June 18, from 10 a.m. - noon at the Pat Jones Farm, 966 4th St., Clayton.

Shell Lake Happenings

Important … important … it is June again and the ice cream is flowing from the freezer in the Shell Lake State Bank ... however … this past Saturday there was no butter pecan being offered. Nonetheless, even with that major incidence, all the rest of the recipients seemed well satisfied. This free ice-cream delicacy will continue every Friday and Saturday throughout the remainder of June. I will stay on top of the butter pecan problem … ••• There is a plan afoot to generate interest in active involvement in The Friends of the Shell Lake Library. If you were a resident of Shell Lake in the 1990s and the following years, John you may remember the group that Frischmann made up the very active Friends. John Friedell, then editor of the Washburn County Register, was the leader and was assisted by anyone who appreciated good books and was willing to lend their time and their

individual talents to make the library’s new location a great place to use a computer or just read and/or relax. The money needed for tables, chairs, shelving, computers, computer carrels, books of all types, adding to over $40,000, was raised from individuals, grants and surrounding businesses. That’s not too bad for a city of some 1,300 individuals. I was active in seeking donations, standing in front of the bank, in front of Dahlstroms and appeals on the radio, generously donated by the owner of the station, Charles Lutz. All this is leading to telling you that you will start seeing words and hearing appeals to become a Friend of the Shell Lake Library. Why, you might say? To make the library greater than it is presently. How about more movies on DVD? How about more nature presentations for the kiddies, T-shirts for kids when they read a certain number of books, book bags for all people advertising the library, more activities for the teenagers who can brag about what the Shell Lake Library offers? Watch the Register for future news. ••• Write this down now: Aug. 6 is Young Eagles Day at

“There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot …” Ecclesiastes 3:1-2.

Even though I have a lilac bush in my own yard, each year I still pick a bouquet from the lot next door. As a child growing up in Clam Falls, and later when I became a homeowner in the same little hamlet of houses, my neighbor, Joe, told me I was welcome to pick lilacs from his yard for as long as I lived. Joe has been gone for over 20 years now and his land is on its second owner since his death. Having shared Joe’s statement with the current owners, each spring I am still able to enjoy a bouquet of lilacs and I think of Joe. As I drove to work one morning, I noticed all the yards that had lilacs in bloom. They may have been in full bloom but soon are just a hedge of green for the summer months. Lilac bushes along the countryside give us a reminder that a homestead once occupied the land. The buildings may all be gone, but the lilacs faithfully bloom each year.

Youth tractor and machinery training dates set

SPOONER – Wisconsin law requires that any youth less than 16 years of age be certified to operate a tractor or machinery on public roads – even if working for a parent or guardian. In addition, federal law prohibits hiring or even allowing any youth under the age of 16 to participate in any hazardous work activities, including operating tractors over 20 PTO horsepower, unless the youth has a training certificate or is working on a farm owned and operated by his or her parent or guardian. A tractor and farm machinery safety certification program which satisfies both federal and state requirements will be held at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station on Tuesday through

Thursday, June 20, 21 and 23, from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Youths participating in this course will receive classroom instruction and supervised tractor-driving experience. Students must be at least 12 years old to enroll and must attend all training sessions and complete written and driving examinations in order to be certified. Preregistration is required. There will be a $20 fee for the course. To preregister for the training, contact Lorraine Toman at the Spooner Area Ag Agents UW-Extension office at 715-6353506 or 800-528-1914. Please provide the name, address, telephone number, date of birth, and Social Security number of the youth to be certified. - submitted

Openings available in alternative-style strings camp

SHELL LAKE — Openings are still available for string students to work with nationally soughtafter fiddler Randy Sabien! Taking place July 3-8 this summer, participants in alternative-style strings camp will learn how to play jazz, blues, pop, and fiddle music as well as explore improvisation, performing a piece with a routine, and master alternative rhythms, all accompanied by drums, bass, and piano. “It’s an experience like no other,” says one 2010 participant. “I learned so much more than I thought possible in one week, and it was amazing to work with Randy Sabien.” Dubbed by NPR’s Jazz Profiles as “the past, present, and future of jazz violin,” Illinois native Sabien is known

across the United States for his eclectic style of playing. What started as classical violin playing grew into playing along with records by The Grateful Dead, Papa John Creach, James Taylor and others. He soon discovered great jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli, and began studying and performing jazz music of the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s. Sabien went on to establish the jazz string department at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. Since then, he has moved to Hayward where he is the owner of record label Fiddlehead Music. Sabien has released multiple records, and is in demand as a teacher and performer. For more information or to register for this camp, please visit the Shell Lake Arts Center’s Web site at www.shelllakeartscenter.org or call 715468-2414. — from SLAC

Straw-bale gardening

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - This time of year it’s easy to see who’s a gardener; their fingernails are dirty. Not just sometimes, all the time, because there’s always just a little more to plant, one more row to put in. Dirty nails and green thumbs just seem to go together. Well, they did, but now that there’s straw-bale gardening, hands are cleaner and backs hurt less. If you grew up in the country you know the difference between hay and straw. If not, here’s a short primer on the subject. Hay is a dried product created by baling the whole green part of grass plant. That harvesting includes the stems, leaves and some seed heads and lots of weed seeds. Straw, on the other hand, is what’s left after the grain is removed from the plant and all that is left is the dried-out stem. Hay is used for winter feed and straw is used for bedding, or in this case, gardening. Straw-bale gardening isn’t new and it’s a great way to garden if you have trouble bending down, turning soil or hoeing all summer. If you stack one on top of the other, you have an even higher surface; like a really great raised bed. When you get the bales set where you want them, wet them thoroughly for several days. The reason you have to do the prewatering is because when you add water to straw, you get heat. Just like the piles of fresh grass used for composting, these piles can heat up to well over 100 degrees, so the bales need to be water-cooled until they’re just body temperature. Place the bales so the twine runs around the bale and not on the bottom where it is in contact with the ground. This way you can get two years out of the bales because the string doesn’t rot as quickly. Even after the bales are no longer usable for gardening, they make marvelous mulch for other plants and shrubs. Keep the bale wet for several days

and pull out any weed seeds that germinate. When the bale is weed-free and cool, lay a 2- or 2-1/2-inch layer of soil on top of the bales if you’re going to sow seeds and gently water them in. If you are putting in plants, simply use a sharp trowel and drive it into the bale and force the bale apart slightly. Insert the plant and let the bale spring back together. Water in these transplants too and remember to water the bales daily, especially in hot weather. Tomatoes should be planted 18 inches apart when put in the soil, so the same holds true in the bale. Tall flowers like sunflowers do not do well in the bales because the straw will not hold them upright. Even the tomatoes will have the tendency to lay down over the edge of the bale, but they will remain clean because they don’t have contact with any soil. Feeding your plants can be iffy. If you feed them too well the straw in the bales has the tendency to turn into compost and break down, so fertilize carefully, once every two or three weeks should do, using a commercial product. Each bale should accommodate up to four tomato plants or six peppers and numerous small plants. Megan Conners of Shell Lake is giving straw-bale gardening a try this year with her four bales planted with tomatoes, green and jalapeño peppers, basil and flowers. We’ll keep you updated on

Girls win regional trophy, fall to Northwood in Sectionals

The Shell Lake girls softball team celebrated their 4-2 win over Frederic that earned them the regional championship. This is their first championship since 2001.

by Larry Samson FREDERIC — Knowing you can win and doing it can be two different things. On Tuesday, May 31, the Shell Lake girls softball team proved that they were one and the same when they beat the Frederic Vikings 4-2 in the final regional championship game. Shell Lake took an early lead when Emmalee Statz scored in the first inning. It wasn’t until the third inning that Frederic tied it up as Shell Lake got out of that inning stranding Frederic runners on third and second. In the top of the fifth Shell Lake took the lead again when Lindsey Green scored on a Statz sacrifice. Frederic came back in the bottom of the inning and scored one run to tie up the game. Once again the Lakers stranded two Viking runners in scoring position. The Lakers started out the sixth inning with singles by Hailey Flach and Kayla Blazer. They scored on RBIs from Jessica Irvine and Allison Socha. Shell Lake now had a 4-2 lead as the Vikings came to bat in the bottom of the seventh. Krista Laqua of Frederic got on base with a Shell Lake error and advanced to second on a single from Corissa Schmidt. The next Frederic batter was forced out at first and Laqua was thrown out at home when she tried to score in the confusion when a fly ball to left field, caught by Blazer, ended the game.

Lakers snare regional title; fall one game short of state

by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — With strong pitching from senior Brandon Anderson, Shell Lake defeated the Northwood Evergreens 9-1, on Wednesday, June 1, in the final game of the regionals to earn the trophy and to advance to sectionals. Anderson faced 28 batters, striking out 16, giving up two runs on three hits and walking only one batter. It was his best pitching effort this season giving the Lakers their first regional championship since 2006 when they made a run at state, losing 10-7 to Abbotsford in the final game. That year Shell Lake beat Northwood 6-5 to take the regional championship. Shell Lake fans are hoping that history will repeat itself. The game was never in doubt as Anderson struck out the first five batters and finished out the game striking out the last three. The Shell Lake batters had nine runs on 11 hits. Wyatt Carlson had an in-the-park home run, his second run for the game.

Lose in sectional championship In the first game of the Division 4 Bruce Baseball Sectionals held Tuesday, June 7, the Shell Lake Lakers beat the Drummond Lumberjacks 10-2 with the pitching of Brandon Anderson. In the second game played later in the day, the Lakers went up against McDonell Central and lost a disappointing 23-1 game. McDonell Central will go on to state.

Happy birthday to Robert Lawrence way out in Kentucky. Robert is in the U.S. Army and is married and has a little son.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Lee Sexton, a longtime Dewey Country resident who passed away May 23 in Superior. Jack Sexton wants me to pass along the following. On Aug. 20 there will be a Doran School Reunion at Crooked Lake Park in Siren. It will be a potluck with meats grilled. So come and visit the Doran kids, if we recognize them, and have a good afternoon. The grill-out starts at noon. A week ago Sunday there was an open house for Alyssa Steen at the Gene and Debbie Quam home. Many friends and relatives there to help Alyssa celebrate this milestone. Good for you, Alyssa. Alyssa plans to go to cosmetology school this fall in Rice Lake. Professor Craig Smith stopped in on Memorial Day Monday and we had a great visit catching up on the news. Craig works in Schaumburg, Ill., and says he hopes he can retire in five years. He tells me his mom, M. Pauline Smith, my favorite aunt, now is in a rest home but unable to walk at this time and is in a wheelchair. She is now 93 years old and Craig says her mind is sharp as a tack. He also told us his sister, Lois (Smith) Hodgson, is now retired from teaching after 37 years. Way to go Lois. Table Talk: In one word, what do you think caused our great U.S.A. to be in this very serious depression? My word would be greed, as I look back at so much greed all over the world from war, to big shots getting richer and richer while the poor get poorer. Haying is going to start in Dewey Country soon. It’s that time of year to start those big Johns and put up that beautiful alfalfa crop. Talking with my favorite sister, Marie, she says her three sons have been busy going over their haying equipment. What’s new with my puppy Rory? Well, I take him many places and when we get home he won’t get out of the car. I

Friendship Commons by Theresa Sigmund

The musical evening is coming up with Millard. Everyone is welcome. Please come and have a joyful evening with friends. I have moved to a downstairs apartment. It is close to my garden. I had a wonderful surprise on my 92nd birthday. My grandson, Jon Sigmund, his mother and my great-granddaughter Heleigh Sigmund came to visit. It’s the first time I’ve met Heleigh. She’s a beautiful girl. She’s 12. They live in Iowa. My son, Allen, and wife Judy had a birthday party for me at their home. All my children were there. Also my granddaughter, Debbie, and Kurt, and my grandson, Bob, Kathy and Kaitlyn visited. Friday night, Allen and Judy took me out to Becky’s. My friends from the apartment made me a birthday cake, so we had cake and ice cream. All together I had a wonderful 92nd birthday. One of the greatest things about a garden is the anticipation it provides. ~ Menards

guess he wants to be a traveling salesman and go, go go! June 18, plan to attend the Burnett County Dairy Breakfast at the farm of at Shorty and Tom Crosby and families, along with Beth and Garry Crosby and grandparents Glen and Lorraine Crosby. You will be enjoying wild rice pancakes with all the trimmings along with lots of other goodies. I see in a farm paper in Wisconsin at a dairy breakfast they are only going to charge 96¢ per person for a great breakfast. Ninety-six cents is what the dairy farmer gets out of a $6 breakfast. So come and enjoy a breakfast on the farm. The next Dewey Township monthly board meeting will be June 7 at the Dewey Town Hall at 8 p.m. Everyone welcome. Over Memorial Day weekend, Marilyn Toll was up with her son, Dave, from the Twin Cities to celebrate with Jim Toll, enjoying good family time. Jim tells me his birthday and Bob Fjelstad’s birthday are both June 6, so Saturday night, Tammy Moe had made supper with a grill-out for the two guys to celebrate their special day along with others. Memorial Day there was a big grill-out potluck at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s. Coming to enjoy the feast were Noel and Patty Beaufeaux and sons Kyle and girlfriend and Mitch, Jimmy Atkinson, Lisa Otto, Marjorie and Charlie and Kristen Williams, Kimmy, Jannah and Brianne and Kristen’s fiancé Scott. Last Friday, June 3, found Sandy Atkinson and her sister, Nancy Atkinson and daughters Vicki and Laurie meeting Patty Beaufeaux in Elk Mound where there was a city of garage sales. Afterwards they all enjoyed lunch together. Sandy says they garage shopped until they dropped. At this time Sandy says her honey, Jim, is feeling a little better. We hope you’re well soon, Jim. Recently, Ginny Schnell was at her mom, Diane Hulleman’s, with the two gals enjoying supper out and taking in a movie. Ginny stayed over, leaving the next day. This past Wednesday, Diane baby-sat her great-grandson Jameson and she says he’s 8 months old now and so cute. Friday, Diane was to her granddaughter’s prekindergarten graduation, with Izzy Jensen along with Izzy’s mom and dad. Diane says it was really cute. Later they enjoyed lunch together and going to garage sales. A week ago Friday found Marv and Bryan Knoop and Jerry Sexton heading for South Dakota where they were after prairie dogs but the wind and cold kept the prairie dogs in their homes so they didn’t get many. They came home a day early due to the weather. Mark is now busy haying like many others. I have three little guests at the farm now. Yes, this last week I found three kittens, two black and a tiger. They’re a good handful in size but scared. They are really cute at this age. Been feeding them twice a day and they sure can eat. Saturday, Joanne Schade, and her daughter and granddaughter, Pam and Becky Scheiller, were up in Dewey Country to see Betty and Carl Meister and Joanne’s mom, Catherine Schumaker. Recently, Kyle Vanderhoof graduated with a degree in ag mechanics from WITC in New Richmond.

Spending the Memorial Day holiday with Doug and Karen Vanderhoof were Dave and Katie Kinde and Logan, Trent and Ashley Vanderhoof and daughter Addyson, Kyle and Travis and Ashley Vanderhoof, MaKenna and Connor. This weekend, Travis and Ashley and family went camping with friends. Our Karen is excited as they will be having two more grandkids to add to their family, one in August and one in October. Karen tells us July 12 there will be a recall election at the Dewey Town Hall for Sheila Harsdorf with the doors opening at 7 a.m. through 8 p.m. Karen is on this board. Talking with Sandy Redding we find they have been quite busy going to high school graduations. Last Sunday their grandson, Christopher Major, graduated from high school and later attended his open house. Christopher wants to go into graphic design. May 31, Bernie and Sandy helped their grandson, Spencer Redding, celebrate his 16th birthday. Memorial Day found Tim an Chris Redding, Tanner and Chase, Jeff and Dee Redding, Andrea and Spencer, Robyn and Robin Major, Christopher and James, and Dawn and Bill Kane, Nate, Rachel, Heather, Michael and Shawn up to Bernie and Sandy’s for a grill cookout. Saturday Bernie and Sandy at-

tended the high school graduation of Bernie’s great nephew in Plum City, Minn., when Ryan Gillman was recently graduated from high school and he wants to work in North Dakota on the oil pipeline. May 26, Bernie and Sandy attended the visitation for Sandy’s 97-year-old uncle. Last Sunday found Jerry and Gretchen Best going to Luck to Gwen and Chad Strege’s for a grill-out.

A late, but happy anniversary to Kevin and Jess Best who were married 10 years now on June 2. Many more. Over the Memorial Day holiday Robin Melton spent the long weekend with Cecil and Evelyn Melton. I understand Vicki Trott and Peggy Vesta joined in the family fun playing cards. This past week found Evelyn Melton being picked up by Jeff and Peggy Vesta going to see the little ballerina, Rebecca Beecroft, perform with others. Rebecca is now 3 years old and it was so cute Evelyn says. This is one of Evelyn’s great-grands. Butch and Loretta VanSelus are enjoying the company of their son, Mark, and Shelly Stone, and their four children as they are up from Ohio staying in a cabin on a lake for a week.

We wish the newlyweds many happy years together. Sunday Carl Soelle visited Glen and Lorraine Crosby. Over the week family members were up for the wedding staying at Glen and Lorraine’s. Get-well wishes to Marvin Johnson, a former Dewey Country resident who now lives in North Pole, Alaska. Marv was here for his brother Vincent Johnson’s funeral and was having problems with his foot. Going back to Alaska, Marv went to the doctor and it was found he had infection in his swollen leg and they also found Marv had a broken bone in his foot since last October. At this time Marvin is at a convalescent home in Fairbanks, Alaska. He will be on antibiotics for at least six weeks before the doctors can tell what to do. Please keep Marvin in your special thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Shirley Swan who passed away June 4. Services are set for 1:30 p.m., Sunday, June 12, at the Wesleyan Church, Spooner. Please keep Jill Swan in your special thoughts and prayers as Jill underwent surgery recently in Eau Claire.

June busted out all over, poppies, peonies, lupines and irises and many others in this nice summer weather. I’ve been seeing lots of mosquitoes. There have been fishermen going by enjoying the lake and trying their luck. There’s that smell of fresh-cut hay in the air. It’s been a great week for getting the hay up. Fuernot Farm boys are about done with first crop, all cut down at this writing. The days are longer and that sure seems good. This month has the longest days in this Northern Hemisphere. The Relay For Life in Shell Lake turned out to be a great success last weekend. It was hot and muggy but didn’t rain or storm so lucked out there. Jen White, cancer survivor, gave a great speech. Eunice Bennett sent me a nice note and enclosed a check to the relay, mailed from Durham, N.C., where she must be residing. That was so nice of her. Last Saturday night, Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman attended a housewarming party for Ivan and Linda Stodola in the new house they built on their farm. Wishing them the best. Friend Michelle Alters and sons Logan and Miles, Hudson, spent Saturday and overnight at Renee and Marilyn Zimmerman’s. The Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, Virginia Stodola’s nieces and nephew, Joan Planert, Eau Claire; Barb Teed, Houlton; Gloria Ladzinski, Minong; and Cory Quick and friend of Rice Lake, met in Rice Lake and placed memorials in St. Joseph, Stanfold, Weisner, Nora and Haugen cemeteries. It’s kind of their annual get-together. Then they ate out in Rice Lake. Connie Quam, Barb Schaeffer and children, Shania, Isaac and Colton, were at Virginia Stodola’s for pizza last Tuesday night and enjoyed a great visit. Elfreda West went with Debbie West to the ninth-annual Spooner School of Dance recital on Saturday afternoon at the Spooner High School to see her greatgrands, Ande Thompson and Natalie Martin, perform. Reports really cute, with around 65 little ones taking part. Bailey

Okonek, Sarona, was also in the program. Gloria Frey’s neighbor, little Julia Lyga, biked down and brought a bouquet of flowers and visited her one day. Hunt Hill’s fourth-annual neighbors open house is at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 9, at Sarona’s Hunt Hill. Brats and hot dogs will be furnished along with beverages. Try to attend. Bob Helmer, West Bend, spent Memorial weekend at his mom, Bev Helmer’s. I stopped and visited them. Elfreda West and I attended a college graduation, moving-away and birthday party for Brayton and Kerry Campbell held in Trego on Saturday evening at his folks, Gary and Paula Campbell’s. Brayton got his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Des Moines University College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery and wife, Kerry, a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the same College of Physical Therapy. They will be moving to California. Congratulations and we wish them the best! Remember the great dairy breakfast you can enjoy on Saturday morning at the Washburn County Fairgrounds, that will be serving from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. We’ll see you there! Mavis Schlapper had me over for fresh rolls for breakfast on Wednesday morning. Happy birthday wishes this week to Vilas Huerth and Steve Dahlstrom, June 9; Tom Glessing and Inez Elliott who turns 90 on June 10; Trudy Druschba, Kevin Gagner, Mickey Rummel, Ana Armour and Emily Reiwestal, June 11; Mark Parker, Rodney Smith, June 12; Ryan Anderson will be a teenager that day; Dick Gagner, Krista Okonek, Bill Marschall, June 13; Arin Swensen, Kathy Parker and Kim Lundeen, June 14.

Everything looks so green and beautiful all around us. I hope we continue to have rain so the lawns don’t turn brown. It was a really nice Monday morning, cool and not a wind. We can live with this. Our sympathy to the family of Shirley (Ray) Swan, 92, who passed away at Terraceview Living Center on Saturday. Ray passed away many years ago. Peder Pederson enjoyed a picnic Sunday night at Mike and Rachel Kelly’s home in Spooner. Mary and Keith White and Sue and Larry Winner, Solon Springs, came to Shell Lake on Friday for business. They picked up Helen V. Pederson for lunch at Lakeview Bar and Grill. Wendell Turpin of Whiting, Ind., left for home on Friday after spending a week here. He stopped to see Arvid and Helen and Helen V. before he left. Lillian Ullom had supper with daughter Donna and Norman Ness on Sunday night. Get-well wishes to Abner Odden in Cumberland who had a pacemaker put in last Thursday in Eau Claire. He is recuperating at Cumberland Extended Care Unit

for therapy. Arlys Santiago walked for the Relay for Life on Friday night and otherwise she was pet-sitting over the weekend. On Saturday, Brenda Pederson went to the wedding of Rachel Spears and Josh Schmitz at the Full Gospel Church. Jeff joined Brenda at the reception held at the Lakeview Center in Siren. Mavis and Roger Flach were in Madison on Tuesday and Wednesday. They stayed with Rex and Karen Pollock in Wanakee while there. On Wednesday they took in Maddy’s softball game and on Thursday night they went to Frederic for the Shell Lake High School softball game. Thursday night they watched Blake Flach play baseball. I guess that’s what keeps grandparents young or tired. On Friday and Saturday, Chuck Campbell came from Appleton for a graduation party for Gary Campbell’s son, Brayton, and wife Kerry. They will be leaving for Loma Linda, Calif., for their residency in physical therapy for Kerry and medical school for Brayton. We wish them good luck. On Saturday, Sue and Larry Winner and Chris Bachinski came to take Helen V. Pederson to Eau Claire for a bridal shower for Greta Bachinski and Logan Sinzie at the Town of Seymour town hall, put on by aunts and granddaughter Gina White. It was a lovely day to an and a nice shower. They will marry in August. Thunder is impressive, but it’s the lightning that does the work. A good aim in life isn’t enough – you have to pull the trigger. Have a good week.

Getting the picture

by Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake Recently, while looking through old papers and mementoes, I began to think of how thoughtlessly we discard old photographs. I know a snapshot is supposed to be a brief glimpse of the transitory past, and can be seen and forgotten. Yet, I see old pictures as a moment caught in time. I still marvel at the old black-and-white prints, their clarity and the background detail as well as the subjects in these glimpses back into the past. The term snapshot is certainly not used in our modern digital photo age. The word snap means to seize something in the mouth, like a bite of a largemouth bass. Or a bull dog. It means to break suddenly. Snap that picture! No serious photo enthusiast takes snapshots. It implies a casual photo taken typically by an amateur with a handheld camera. We think of a mother taking a child’s picture, or someone taking scenic pictures on a vacation. We amateurs are still taking family pictures but the digital camera technology has brought changes some of us find almost unbelievable. Now we have the automatic camera with built-in exposure meter that adjusts your lens opening for you, and/or the shutter speed. The move from film to the digital medium gives us the ability to take many pictures quickly and see the results and make changes instantly. The handheld phones and other technology can be used for moving pictures. We have come a long way from the snapshot. My introduction to the wonderful visual art of photography came when I was just a small child in the fourth grade. There was some kind of illness going around at school and I was forced to stay in bed. My uncle came to visit me, carrying a bunch of bananas and a small box wrapped in pretty paper tied with a red ribbon. He gave my mother the fruit for later, but he told me to open the box. “I wonder what it is!” I cried, unwrapping it. “I can tell you it’s a Brownie,” he said. It was a small black camera made by Kodak, with a long strap and a roll of film. I thanked him for it. I had thought of a storybook brownie, a wee person, like an elf, that did good deeds for a housewife if she put out a little saucer of milk for it. This was not that kind of brownie. It was a beautiful camera. As soon as I was well I found out how to load the film and I was out and around taking pictures. It was wonderful to get my pictures after about two weeks at the

drugstore. Many were not very good pictures, often with people with their heads missing. I took a picture of my little brother standing on his head. It was a really good shot. But, by that time, I was hooked. I fell in love with photography. In the old days, you might have a family picture taken by a local professional photographer, or someone might go house to house arranging sittings for some of the people in the business. They were expensive but people wanted them. These pictures would be hand-colored, sometimes. They were truly artwork. We had class pictures taken of a schoolroom, and I still have one of mine taken in the first grade. Class pictures were often taken of graduates. I have always been nothing more than an amateur photographer. The pleasure for some enthusiasts lies in the technical aspects of this field. I like to be able to play with the various lenses and filters and so on, and it is really exciting to develop your own film. If you try it, it will blow you away. You put a paper in three baths and it comes alive as a beautiful, or maybe not so beautiful, picture, one you took and saw transformed. These are very technical, and the ease and simplicity of using the newer cameras makes it unnecessary. The time it took to get your pictures is one of the radical changes in this field. The photo shops can process them quickly for you. You can keep your photos in your computer and print them out when you want them. For me, the pleasure of taking pictures is in selecting the photo you like. You do not have to go on safari or visit Old Faithful to get memorable pictures. You have to be careful, though. One time I grabbed the camera, thinking to take a picture of a big black bear walking down the road. I hurried outside, and saw another big black bear calmly eating cat food from the dish next to my back door. I went back inside quickly. You can find an infinite variety of subjects to frame in your own backyard. There will, no doubt, continue to be phenomenal changes in cameras and photographic equipment. Ever since I took my first picture with that old Brownie, and I became aware of the joy of taking snapshots, I have seen advances, what you can call quantum leaps. This interest certainly has greatly widened my horizons. Let’s hope all of us can make use of the images of today. This is a good way to keep a record of the important events in our lives. They say a picture is as good as a thousand words. I guess I had better save the pictures.

Butterfly corner by Mary Ellen Ryall

SHELL LAKE — Happy Tonics, in collaboration with Indianhead Action Agency, was invited to speak at Ruby’s Kitchen, Spooner, in May. I visited the food distribution site and spoke to the public. Free vegetable seed was available from Indianhead Action Agency in Spooner. The only requirement was that a participant be below a certain income level to qualify for free garden seed. At least 30-40 people showed an interest and many more said they were going to plant a garden. Some stated they would be firsttime gardeners. Rising food prices impact pocketbooks and can change a person’s behavior. May 27 – Jim VanMoorleham and I did a walkabout at the Monarch Butterfly Habitat in Shell Lake. We saw a queen bumblebee go into her ground nest. This is the first time either of us witnessed this. Queen bumblebees usually seek a clearing of soil that they can build a nest in. There are several water-filtering areas in the habitat, which is the purpose of these sparse areas of nonvegetation. May 28 – The Lakes and Pines Girl Scout Troop of Shell Lake visited Bashaw Valley Greenhouse and farm. Washburn County AODA Commission and Leopold Education and Pheasants Forever grants enabled the girls to create functional and fun container gardens at Shell Lake Friendship Commons. This year youth container gardens consist of four whiskey barrels of vegetables, flowers, herbs and a pollinator garden. Garden flowers, herbs and produce will be part of the Summer Environmental Film Fest on June 25, July 30, and August 20 at Friendship Commons. Lakes and Pines Girl Scout Troop will host the event, give a tour of their gardens and prepare refreshments. Environmental films will focus on world water issues, monarch butterfly migration and bee colony collapse disorder. Happy Tonics added plants to the retainer wall gardens at the Spooner Food Pantry. Herbs such as parsley, sage, thyme, ground cherries and cherry tomato plants were added to the fledgling garden. Sue Adams gave the nonprofit permission in 2010 but we were shorthanded last year. In 2011 we are rolling out the gardens for people to learn that food, herbs and flowers do not need to be planted in the ground for one to be sustainable. Grant money from Leopold Education and Pheasants Forever was shared with Fresh Start to install a fence around a youth garden in Shell Lake. May 29 – Sophie Belisle called in the

The young student reported that the butterflies came in after the storm. Sophie was very happy to see the monarch butterflies in the meadows where she lives. She has already received a beaded butterfly pin made by Ojibwe children at St. Francis Mission in Reserve. She also received a fabric art square of butterflies, by Mabel Perry. June 1 – Happy Tonics opened a new visitors center in Minong. The artist loft is adjacent to The Scoop and has the advantage of Wi-Fi access. Minong is progressing nicely with Wi-Fi-friendly businesses that want tourists and residents to frequent their establishments. June 3 – Kris Fjelstad called in the first monarch sighting in Shell Lake. She mentioned the day was cloudy and windy. It was 77.6 degrees Fahrenheit and the time was 2:25 p.m. June 4 – Mary Ellen Ryall and Sandy Stein participated and walked with the Mother Earth Water Walkers close to Reserve, Hayward. The walkers of the southern direction have been walking since April 20, carrying salt water of the Gulf of Mexico to Bad River, where it will meet with the other waters from the Atlantic, Hudson Bay and Pacific. The southern direction included Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin. The walk is ongoing until the water from the south reaches Bad River on June 12. The purpose of the walk is to raise awareness of loss of fresh drinking water in many countries around the world and to stop water privatization and pollution.

Mangelsen were Kyle and Isaiah Lindquist, John and Tonya Johnson and Todd Mangelsen. Graveside services will be held for Elizabeth (Betty) Searles on Tuesday, June 14, at 11:30 a.m. at Hertel Lakeview Cemetery. Following the service, a luncheon will be served at Lakeview United Methodist Church.

Barronett by Judy Pieper

Well, Judy and Duane are still in Guam. David’s twins graduated so they went over to celebrate that and for a bit of a vacation. Sounds like they are having a great time, and I’m sure they’ll have lots of pictures and stories to share when they get back, which was Monday, so by the time you read this they should be back and rested. But in the meanwhile, for us folks who stayed up here in the north, we have some news. First of all, congratulations to 10year-old Madison Pease. She bravely competed in boxing under the big tent at the St. Croix Casino’s 19th-anniversary celebration and took runner-up. Great job, Madison! And here’s a new one for me … The

Moocher left a message that at 6:28 p.m. on the 26th of May in La Crosse there was a pie being made for him. Now that’s obviously not the surprise here because we all know how much he likes his pie — the part that I am very curious about is the pie is a water pie. I am confused and very curious about this. Enjoy the pie, Terry, but please make sure you fill us in on the details of that one! Well, Judy will be back next week to give you the scoop, and I’m sure there will be lots that I have not covered, so make sure you check it out. That’s it from Barronett this week. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys the beautiful weather we are finally getting!

Charlotte Elliott was mad at herself, her family and her God. At 33, she had become an invalid. She cried, “If God loved me, he wouldn’t have treated me this way!” One night a minister showed her that God did love her. She asked, “If I wanted to become a Christian, how would I go about it?” “Give yourself to God,” he said, “just as you are now.” Charlotte came to God, to be made over by him, and she wrote this hymn: “Just as I am, without out one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me. And that Thou bidd’st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come.” Visit us at: www.TheSower.com

School’s out!

When we return in the fall

Teachers line the sidewalk to wave goodbye to their students as the buses drive past. The summer is that magical time of baseball, softball and family vacations. A time to chase balls in the day and fireflies at night. Keri Jensen got some help from fourth-grader Sara Grandadam planting flowers in the Shell Lake School garden on Wednesday, June 1. With the help of area gardeners, the students planted flowers and vegetables to enjoy this fall when they return to school.
