Bunny Day Day has been actively involved in the Village Players since she and her husband, Don, moved here from the Range in 2001.

When Day agreed to act in this play, she did it thinking it was a play about golf because of knickers in the name. Wow, was she surprised!

In addition to acting, directing and being on the board of the Village Players, Day’s other interests include having her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren visit, playing golf, doing crafts of all kinds, belonging to several book clubs and volunteering at Webster Elementary School.

Day is really having fun playing the lead role of the youthful-thinking and acting, 80-year-old Nana.

Now attempting to get his acting career back on track, he serves as a conductor for the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad. Peterson enjoys gourmet cooking, travel, golf and fishing.

This is Peterson’s first association with the Voyager Village Players. He will be playing the part of Gil Schmidt, Nana’s landlord.

Meet the director Olivia Main is returning for her fifth and final production at VPCT after directing “Grandest Canyon” and acting in “The Foreigner,” “Murder, Medium Rare” and last year’s production of “Steel Magnolias.” She gets to work with many of her old favorites for “Nana’s Naughty Knickers,” but she is happy to get some new actors who will eventually become old favorites.

Main, originally from Webster, will be leaving in August for a permanent move to Norway, the country, not the city in Michigan. She attended UW-River Falls for theater, and will continue her education and theater pursuits. When she’s not directing/acting for VPCT, she is most likely in another country.

Main wanted her cast to know that she is honored to have such an energetic, talented and likable group of people to work with. She would also like to thank her family, friends and pets.

Losses, gains estimated for area schools Estimates show Spooner and Northwood schools will receive less state aid than last year

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction released general aid funding estimates for state public schools on Monday, July 1. Of the state’s 424 school districts, 54 percent (229) will receive less general aid in 2013 to 2014, while 45 percent of districts (193) are expected to receive more aid.

Funding estimates for school districts in Washburn County are varied, with funding estimates showing two county school districts will receive reduced aid.

“Our state aid estimate for 2013-14 is $2,739,626 ... in 2012 to 2013 we received $2,694,660,” stated Jim Connell, superintendent for the Shell Lake School District. Connell attributes the district’s state aid increase to declining property value and until last year the district has avoided the declining enrollment that other school districts have seen. “Also the assessed property value in the school district went down from $400 to $370 million, leaving less property value per pupil, which is a major factor in school funding formulas,” Connell explained.

Spooner Area School District aid for

2013-14 is an estimated $961,833. “This is a decrease of $170,718 or 15.07 percent,” said Donald Haack, Spooner superintendent.

Last year Spooner received $1,132,601.

“This will mark the 11th consecutive year that Spooner Area School District will receive the maximum single year reduction in aid allowed by state law,” stated Mark Markgren, the school district’s business manager.

Last year, the district received $66,850 in per pupil adjustment aid, but that was discontinued for the 2013-14 school year. This chart depicts the change in state aid from 2000 to 2013. - from However, Spooner, ac- Wisconsin Department of Instruction cording to the Revenue Limit Worksheet released today by DPI, will receive $78,629 in state only been receiving what is called Special aid to high poverty districts. “We have Adjustment Aid, which has decreased by never received this before,” observed 15 percent per year ever since.” Equalization aid is one of the three main Wisconsin Markgren.

Birchwood School District is one of general state aid programs.

In general terms, the more property about 14 school districts in the state that wealth per member a district has, the receives zero equalization aid from the lower the proportion of shared costs that state.

“We became zero-aided starting in 1997 will be aided by the state through the to 1998,” stated Birchwood Schools Su- equalization aid formula. This is exactly perintendent Frank Helquist. “We have what is happening in Birchwood. High property values, compared to the num-

ber of resident students in the district, is causing the withdrawal of general state aid. In Birchwood’s case, as Helquist indicated, the district is still receiving Special Adjustment Aid. This aid is intended to reduce the blunt impact of becoming zero-aided. “For 2012 to 2013 we received $73,757 and this will go down to $62,693 for 2013 to 2014,” stated Helquist.

A similar effect is occurring in the Spooner School District. Their state funding has steadily decreased at 15 percent a year.

“Our property value per pupil is high, so we don’t get much state aid on a perpupil basis,” stated Haack. Even though the school’s state aid decreases, the district’s overall funding will not necessarily decrease. Haack pointed out that it puts more funding on local sources, such as property taxes.

“This year we are slotted for $37,946, the percent change is minus 15.07,” stated Jane Serum, district administrator of Northwood School District. Last year the district received $44,680 in general aid.

“The reason we receive less aid this year is due to the way schools are funded,” Serum noted. “Now it is based primarily on property values and we fall into the property-rich category so we are basically ‘unfunded.’ However, state Superintendent Tony Evers is trying to fix the way schools are funded. In the meantime, we continue to offer a quality program as efficiently as we can.”

Spooner utilizes state law to implement energy-efficiency projects

School project will cost approximately $700,000 with one-year levy increase and plan to recoup money through energy savings

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER - A unanimous vote by the Spooner School Board Monday July 1, approved the utilization of a state law that will allow the district to override the state-imposed revenue limit for implementation of energy-efficiency projects.

The first phase of the one-year project will cost the district $737,502 and will result in a one-time increase in the mill rate for district property owners this coming year of $47.88 on every $100,000 of property value, based on the 2012-13 equalized value of the district and other potential variables in state funding.

The plan calls for an offset to that proposed cost through energy savings.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Act 32, Wisconsin’s 2011-13 biennial budget bill, increases a district’s revenue limit according to the amount spent by the school district in that school year on a project to implement energy-efficiency measures or to purchase energy-efficiency projects.

The project must result in the avoidance of, or reduction in, energy or operational costs, and be governed by a performance contractor.

McKinstry was previously hired by SASD as the project performance contractor, and the company has already performed an analysis of the district’s school buildings.

“They did an intense scoping project where they spent half of a day to one day going through each building, and they looked at nearly everything: floors, windows, roofs, checked leaks, punched up ceiling tiles,” explained Mike Markgren, business manager for the district.

Markgren estimated the grand total for phase one of the project to be $737,502.

The project includes building envelope tests to the middle and elementary schools, technology and wireless Internet upgrades, and the purchase of 400 iPads.

Due to the increased interest in highperformance buildings, more attention is being paid to how building-envelope assemblies affect interior comfort and energy performance. A building envelope consists of an exterior covering, water-

“This is a tool for us to replace existing desktop computers, which we still have to do in spite of all this other stuff,” stated Miller. “At the same time, it allows the flexibility to say I can bring my own device, whether it be a cell phone, laptop, iPad, or whatever, and for the instructor in the classroom to have everybody log in and have the same software.”

The project encompasses a larger plan for every student in the district, from elementary to high school. According to recent board discussions about the project and their plan, the students in kindergarten through eighth grade have received more educational benefit from tools such as iPads. Grades one through 12 will be utilizing the bring-your-own-device plan in tangent with the upgraded technology and wireless systems.

Lack of public input concern Board member Robert Hoellen voiced concerns about the lack of public input on the project.

“I am interested to hear from the public … Obviously, this is a tax-levy device. We can raise the taxes just like that, tonight, for one year, and the board’s position is, I believe it is a good thing getting this hightech program going,” stated Hoellen.

Using money from the fund balance was also discussed, after a suggestion by Hoellen, and there was opposition to it.

“I will say that I fully support going ahead with the project. I would rather not see it come from fund balance, I would rather us have a fund balance left there,” stated Hope Walker.

Markgren agreed with Walker.

Everyone would pay

James Lewis of Shell Lake wishes to eliminate the IRS. James, you’re not alone.

Were the IRS eliminated and replaced with a consumption (sales) tax of 15 percent on everything except food taken home to prepare, mortgages or rent and medical care, our country would flourish.

There would be less demand for bookkeepers, tax lawyers and a host of advisors.

The biggest benefit would be in the increase in taxpayers. Now, illegal im-

State law protects children by requiring proper safety restraints in vehicles

SPOONER — Although children quickly outgrow their clothes, toys and favorite entertainment, they never will outgrow the need to be protected while riding in a motor vehicle. Traffic crashes are the No. 1 cause of death for children ages 1 to 12, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration.

To help parents and other adults who transport children determine an ageappropriate safety seat and ensure it is used correctly, the State Patrol’s Zero In Wisconsin program has an easy-to-understand video available online at zeroinwisconsin.gov/ChildSafetySeats/.

The video shows the four-step progression in child passenger safety required by state law. Generally, state law requires that children must be restrained in a child safety seat until they reach age 4 and in a booster seat until age 8. The four-step progression is: 1. A child who is less than 1 year old or who weighs less than 20 pounds must be properly restrained in a rear-facing child safety seat in the backseat of the vehicle if the vehicle is equipped with a backseat.

2. A child who is at least 1 year old and weighs at least 20 pounds but is less than 4 years old or weighs less than 40 pounds must be properly restrained in a forwardfacing child safety seat in the backseat of

Lake Lions, addressed the council on the approval for the street use permit for their triathlon.

“It’s about a third-of-a-mile swim, about a 15-mile bike ride, and about a 3.54-mile run,” explained Harrington. The race begins in the lake and will go around the lake to the finish.

“Registrations thus far are somewhere between 65 and 90 ... if we can get 100 participants we will be very pleased with that,” stated Harrington.

Shell Lake Police Chief Dave Wilson recommended added security to Monday night movies due to ongoing issues at the event. According to Wilson’s report, the event has resulted in underage tobacco, weapons located, fireworks, fights, trash issues, underage alcohol, three arrests and incendiary devices. “Not all these issues were necessarily direct contact with law enforcement, some of it is after the fact,” noted Wilson.

Wilson introduced Bill Jenderny, owner of Town and Country Security Patrol, to the council and reported that Jenderny will donate his services to the city during the movies. “I am just a set of eyes,” Jenderny explained. “If I see something, I let law enforcement take care of it. I don’t get involved. Jenderny has 11 years of experience as a police officer and is a former police chief for St. Croix Falls.

The council approved of placing two additional light poles and additional lights at the truck- and tractor-pull track. Issues surrounding the request were use of the city’s labor and equipment. On a 5-3 vote, the council determined the lights would be installed using city labor and equipment.

“If the lights are angled, there shouldn’t be a lot of concern, but I think we need to be cognizant of the angle of the lighting down toward the ground of the track, otherwise you have very bright lights blinding Hwy. 63 traffic,” observed Wilson.

NAP crops that are harvested prior to July 15 must be reported by the earlier of July 15 or 15 calendar days before the onset of harvest or grazing. Producers should contact their county FSA office if they are uncertain about reporting deadlines.

Late-filed provisions may be available to producers who are unable to meet the reporting deadline as required. Reports filed after the established deadline must meet certain requirements to be accepted and may be charged late fees.

Producers should contact their county FSA office immediately to make an appointment to complete acreage reporting by the July 15 deadline. More information on FSA programs is at fsa.usda.gov.

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Hot topics for the Shell Lake City Council on Monday, July 8, were issues surrounding the delayed Community Development Block Grant funding for the city’s 2013 street projects, a street use permit for the Shell Lake Lions Triathlon, issues at Monday night movies and the approval for additional light poles and lighting to be installed at the truckand tractor-pull track.

Following the recommendation by the public works committee, the council chose to table awarding the bid for the city’s 2013 street project until the status of the CDBG funding is known. According to Teresa Anderson, project engineer from MSA services, the status of the city’s $300,000 to $350,000 of possible grant funds is not known. The Wisconsin Department of Administration is responsible for deciding where CDBG funding goes and how much goes where.

In an email read to the city council from the DOA, Anderson reported, “Your project was one on a list of projects that we asked about and the response was we are working as fast as we can on getting these items taken care of through the transition and start of this state fiscal year.

We are just beginning to move ahead on negotiating contracts with entities that were awarded and are starting with the awards May 1. We are still assessing if we have funds to make any additional grant awards, you will be contacted as we move forward.”

Issues with putting the project off by tabling the awarding of a bid included an increased likelihood that the project not be completed as planned, followed by increased prices for the following year.

3. A child who is at least 4 years old but less than 8 years old, weighs at least 40 pounds but not more than 80 pounds, and is no more than 57 inches tall must be properly restrained in a child booster seat.

4. A child who is age 8 or older or weighs more than 80 pounds or is taller than 57 inches must be properly restrained by a safety belt.

It is recommended that children ride in the backseat until they reach age 12.

The total cost of a safety restraint violation involving a child under the age of 4 is $175.30, and the cost for a violation involving a child from age 4 to 8 is $150.10.

These costs increase for subsequent offenses within a three-year period.

Reiter recognized as Volunteer of the Year SHELL LAKE — Marion Reiter, Shell Lake, was recently recognized by the National Volunteer Caregiving Network as being the Volunteer of the Year.

Reiter was recognized by Faith in Action as an outstanding volunteer for 2012.

While the program suffered from being without a director for several months, Reiter took charge in her humble way in the office. Without her dedication and consistent donation of service, the Faith in Action organization would perhaps not have survived. Not only did Reiter donate hundreds of hours in the office, but also remained extremely active in meeting recipients one-on-one in a variety of ways, including providing transportation and shopping assistance, cleaning homes and visiting those in need. Reiter is known to take on the requests that no other volunteers are willing or able to help with.

Reiter continued her dedication long after the FIA director position was filled.

She continues to track recipient and volunteer data in the office making it possible to track the organization’s progress in a variety of areas. “Only because she has been so detailed in her data collection

do we know how many hours our volunteers donate, how many miles they travel and how many recipients they reach. And because of her hard work, we know that Marion herself donated more than 350 hours in a span of less than six months,” commented a co-volunteer at FIA. “Marion shies away from public recognition and prefers to quietly go about her work. She is a true servant leader. She deserves far more acknowledgement than we are able to offer from our modest annual recognition event. The fruits of her labor are far beyond measure,” was written in an application nominating Reiter for the award.

Faith in Action Washburn County and more importantly the care recipients of the organization have greatly benefited from Reiter’s selfless service. Reiter received an iPad, supplied by RideScheduler, an NVCN sponsor, as a tangible reward.

Seniors are part of the fabric of our community. By preserving their ability to remain in their homes as long as possible, our communities are the beneficiaries of the valuable heritage that those 60 and older provide. In addition, seniors are

Ryan lives in Frederic with her husband, John, but as mentioned, she is no stranger to St. Croix Falls, as she was an English teacher for seven years at the district, and even open-enrolled her own daughter there for five years. That daughter is now pursuing a master’s degree, which Ryan attributes, at least part, to the district.

Ryan has been in administration for five years and has worked with many of the St. Croix Falls staff, so she is familiar with their curriculum and policies. “I knew the strengths of the staff, and I knew it was a great school,” she said. “I consider it the opportunity of a lifetime to work with my former colleagues again.” — from the Inter-County Leader ••• CABLE — Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will handle property from Forest Lodge, Mary Griggs Burke’s historic summer

Burke passed away Dec. 8, 2012; her estate donated the home to the Chequamegon National Forest. Forest Lodge, used by Burke and her family every summer, is situated on Lake Namekagon. The property includes a large family house, a smaller secondary house and a portable prefabricated cottage manufactured by the E.F. Hodgson Company. Mary Griggs Burke and her husband, the late Jackson Burke, were known and remembered throughout New York, Minnesota and Wisconsin as consummate collectors and champions of civic causes wherever they lived. — from Leslie Hindman Auctioneers

Namekagon River Memory Day on July 18 TREGO — Have you and your family ever canoed down the Namekagon or St. Croix rivers? Do you have stories to tell? Or are you interested in learning more about the rivers’ history? Come to the sixth-annual Memory Day hosted by the National Park Service at the Namekagon River Visitor Center on Thursday, July 18, from 4-7 p.m.

From 4-6 p.m., there will be an opportunity for people to reminisce, sharing photos and stories with park staff and other visitors. At 6 p.m. there will be a presentation by the Harrison Family, which for the last 50 years has held an annual family river trip. See images of how the river, the family, and gear have changed over the past 50 years.

A display of canoe trip photos and a few accounts of canoe trips will be on display. With permission, the stories and photos that the public shares will be added to this collection and used by the National Park Service to better tell the history of the river through programs, exhibits, brochures and the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway’s website. Stories can help today’s visitors understand what a special place the Riverway was and still is.

The Namekagon River Visitor Center is located on Hwy. 63, one mile east of Hwy. 53. Call 715-635-8346, ext. 429, for questions about Memory Day. — from NPS

Author of ghost stories to be in Spooner

New pastor for Shell Lake UMC

Pastor Steve Miller will be the new pastor at the Shell Lake United Methodist Church.

— Photo by Danielle Moe His favorite film era of the 1930s and ‘40s with actors like Humphrey Bogart formed his inspiration for the cool look fedoras represented.

To fill in the already colorful personality, Miller also enjoys music. “I sing, I play several instruments, not well,” he added laughing, “enough to get by.” His instruments of choice include the guitar, violin and the recorder.

Miller’s obvious love for ministry and enthusiasm expresses his bright future in Shell Lake, “I am excited to be here, it is going to be a great match.”

Preparing for ReStore opening

SPOONER — “It was a dark and stormy night … ” This may not be the actual first sentence of either of Wendy Webb’s books, but it is exactly the feeling her books elicit.

Webb will be reading from her books at Northwind Book & Fiber in Spooner next Thursday, July 18, at 7 p.m.

Webb, of Duluth, Minn., is the editor of Duluth Superior Magazine, and now the author of two novels. “The Tale of Halcyon Crane” and “The Fate of Mercy Alban” are both suspenseful ghost stories with a little romance mixed in. The first takes place on a fictional island in Lake Superior. Protagonist Hallie believes that her mother has long been dead, but learns that she just recently died and left her island home to Hallie. She travels there to learn more about her family’s dark secrets.

Webb’s newest, “The Fate of Mercy Alban,” is set in an old mansion in Duluth, much like the Glensheen Mansion, although that is not the subject of the story. This is a story of family secrets, hidden passageways and mysterious disappearances. According to best-selling author Katherine Howe, Webb’s mystery

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake United Methodist Church is welcoming their new pastor, Steve Miller, who will be filling the humorous and insightful shoes of their former pastor, Gregory Harrell. “Pastor Greg and I have known each other for 13 years, when he heard I was coming he was thrilled, also, we’re kind of similar,” said Miller smiling. He was beginning the process of acquainting himself with the church and community on Tuesday, July 2.

“I have a great deal of enthusiasm. I am excited about ministry, excited about being a pastor and a positive person,” stated Miller. Since 2002 Miller previously served the communities in Wisconsin Dells, at the Dells UMC and Davis Corner’s UMC. Pointing out that his prior service in rural, tourist and vacationing communities has prepared him to serve in the Shell Lake area Miller stated, “God has a way of surprising us.”

The amiable pastor was obviously chosen with care to fill the position of his predecessor with an easygoing, but sensitive attitude. An avid lover of bicycling, old movies and fedoras, his enthusiasm is contagious. “I can bike to the church, I can bike to the grocery, I can bike to almost anywhere it seems,” he said, laughing.

He expects the more than a dozen hats that he wears on a regular basis to become more noticeable than his bicycle. “When I am not riding the bicycle, I will become the pastor with the hats,” he said, grinning.

Project Lifesaver’s mission is to use state-of-the-art technology in assisting those who care for people with Alzheimer’s, other cognitive disorders and persons who wander.

Forward Service Corporation receives College Ready grant MADISON – Forward Service Corporation is pleased to announce that Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation has awarded a grant for $137,756 through the College Ready grant. This grant is dedicated to helping 189 low-income students develop the skills for earning their college degree.

Forward Service Corporation was one of 34 recipients to receive some of the more than $4 million in College Ready grant funds awarded by Great Lakes.

Forward Service Corp. will use the grant funding to provide academic-focused services during the 2013-2014 academic year.

“Forward Service Corporation is so proud to be partnering with Great Lakes again to help Wisconsin youth prepare for postsecondary success,” Marcia Christiansen, CEO of Forward Service Corp., said. “We really feel this is a great partnership, with a shared mission of helping young Wisconsinites climb out of poverty through education. It also helps develop a talented and skilled workforce in some key parts of the state.”

Sarah Jo Dahlstrom, director of education programs with Forward Service Corp., added that “With the College Ready grant, our Upward Bound programs are going to be able to provide academic tutoring to students and a summer college residential experience. This residential experience is especially important for students who have trouble seeing themselves on a real college campus.

Thank you to Great Lakes Higher Education for this support.”

Forward Service Corporation’s Upward Bound was selected as a Great Lakes College Ready grant partner based on the strategies it has developed to prepare students for college and its commitment to tracking results. Upward Bound will help students to improve their academic performance by tracking results measured by grade-point averages and pre/post tests. Great Lakes’ College Ready grant is designed to support programs that help students from traditionally underserved backgrounds — including students from low-income households, minorities and those who are the first in their families to attend college, in grades six through 12 and adult learners – arrive on campus ready to enroll in college-level courses.

Recipient programs will provide services to students across Minnesota and Wisconsin during the upcoming academic year, helping a total of 4,000 students succeed in higher education, leading to a two- or four-year degree or other credential.

Forward Service Corp. was established in 1979 and began providing Upward Bound services in 2000. It currently operates three programs that serve students in 17 school districts across 10 counties.

Local school districts receiving this grant include Spooner, Shell Lake, Unity, Siren and Turtle Lake. – submitted

Storytelling is alive and well

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - Sometimes storytelling comes in the form of an old person relating their past to their children or grandchildren.

Other stories are not as long and involved as Grandpa’s, and perhaps they’re stories simply relating something that happened to you on the way home from work. Even though it’s not like the old days anymore, where stories were told around the campfire or fanciful stories were made for children long before the advent of TV, stories are told every day.

Many of these stories are written down and published, and we call them books.

The way it used to be, we’re told, is that an author would write out their book in longhand and send it to a publisher and wait for the good news. The world of writing has changed dramatically since those idyllic days and now everyone’s a writer, and publishers no longer accept unsolicited manuscripts, instead advising would-be writers to get an agent. This is the second hurdle to getting published because agents are overwhelmed with submissions and most likely are no longer taking submissions either.

So far there are no agent’s agents, so thousands of writers become self-published by doing all the preliminary work like editing and cover design and then finding a printer to create a finished product at an affordable price because they get cheaper the more you, the author, buys.

Some use a service that will edit their missive and design a cover and then the finished product is ready as a POD - or print-on-demand - book. You let them know how many you need and write out the check and they print them and send them to you. Either way you choose, it can

A woodsman through and through, John Hallock has now taken his writing onto the Internet with e-book offerings on his website. You can always catch his stuff in his magazine, The Woodsman, which comes out monthly and is available throughout several counties. - Photo

by Diane Dryden be a pain in the neck and the pocketbook.

John Hallock was a guy who grew up in Elgin, Ill., telling stories, but only to himself. His older brother took the firstborn role, so John was left with the privilege of choosing his own path, and the path he found was in the north woods of Wisconsin’s Webb Lake, at his grandparent’s cabin, in 1957. His family was one of those advantaged families who rode the train up to Spooner and stayed for two weeks.

Dad would follow two weeks later by car and that made a whole month of woods and water and stories, all based on the adventures his army men had.

Hallock was born a storyteller-cumwriter; just ask the multiple classmates whose term papers he wrote. His highest compliment came from a crusty old football coach whose regular class he attended as a sophomore. The whole class practically fell over in a faint when the teacher/coach actually praised Hallock’s work on a story. “That compliment stuck with me all these years. It really helped shape my eventual career.”

After graduation, he spent a few years finding himself and landed as a used car salesman. He did well. You’ve got to admit there are a lot of stories that go along with successful sales. His stories did well enough for him to become top in sales and collections and he had the least complaints about his work. By the mid1980s he was working for the La Crosse Tribune and once again did extremely well. But something was missing. He wasn’t writing what he wanted ... adventure.

He pitched this idea of a sports magazine full of hunting and fishing information, based on the statistic that there are 85 million people who hunt and fish every year, to his boss at the paper, adding the presses were there and silent much of the time. Even though his project was redlighted, it started a huge desire to do his own supplement, maybe making it big enough to become a magazine and be would be the boss.

He had the most important backing any man could ask for, the full support of his wife, Lori. She shares his views in life and is a true soul mate. She also went from soul mate to partner in the magazine and has worked alongside him since 1989 when the paper was born, which itself is a great story. You can read on his website, thewoodsmanmagazine.com.

They birthed two babies that night, the magazine and their first daughter, all in a terrible snowstorm. And no one tells the story with more laugh-out-loud humor than John does.

If you pick up a free Woodsman magazine today, not only will you get local stories by various writers, but you can follow the adventures of the Timber Ridge Gang and the adventures of Young Jake Savage. The Jake stories are amazingly accurate with their 1800s setting due to the research books Hallock found in a Bayfield bookstore that covered that time period, Indians and all. “This is what makes these grassroots stories so interesting, especially to boys and men. I write about exciting adventures in the woods where a boy or man had to depend on their own resources and quick thinking to survive.” The books are also full of falldown-laughing humor.

Hallock has recently increased his website to include sales of his own new adventure into the world of e-books. Included in his initial offering are three Young Jake Savage and three Timber Ridge Gang books.

“I guarantee you, if you buy one, you’ll end up buying them all,” John says.

He already has three printed novels under his belt with a fourth one, “The Shadow Hunters,” about ready for publishing, featuring his alter ego, Boss Stalker.

If you’d like to read some of his work, there are several stories each month in his magazine and it’s free for the taking and available just about everywhere in Washburn County ... he didn’t get top sales awards for nothing. Or go online and give his site a thorough going over, making sure you click on his shameless self-promotion section.

The annual Fourth of July boat parade had a near-record number of boats forming a caravan as they circled the lake.

Behind the writing and history

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — “I was really happy this morning because my red raspberries are growing, I didn’t think they made it,” said Mary Olsen, comfortable at her kitchen table on a warm July morning.

“When I was on the farm before I moved here I had red raspberries and I just loved them, picking them, making jelly and preserves,” she said smiling at the memory.

Known for her love of history and writing, Olsen has many other little-known passions, including her delight and appreciation for the simple things in life.

Born and raised in Peoria, Ill., Olsen came to live on a farm outside of Spooner in 1969. In 1980, seven years after her first marriage, she married Walter Olsen, also a farmer. “I was married 21 years to the first husband and 21 to the second,” she said, pausing in thought. “that must be my limit,” she said, laughing and easing into the conversation.

Mary worked at the nursing home in Spooner, and after her retirement she continued to help people. “I would go to their home, and help them there, I did that for five years,” she explained.

After Walter passed away in 2002 she relocated to Shell Lake. “That’s why I got this house, it reminds me so much of when I was growing up,” she explained, looking around her home with affection.

Olsen says the sound the passing cars make give her a soothing feeling, instead of the noise most people associate with them. “It’s like music to me, when I am going to bed at night and getting up in the morning, I can feel like I am home,” she said in her singsong voice.

Her strongest influences are her love of history, language, literature, writing and music. “I like history because I think people should know about the past,” she said thoughtfully. A lifelong advocate for local history, Olsen has been a member of the Washburn County Historical Society for 41 years. “It is really important to know where you were to know what you’re going to do next,” she stated. Besides the historic people Olsen appreciates everyday conveniences that have changed so much over time, and make all the difference. “Our whole life now is so much easier than it was then as far as housekeeping,” she pointed out.

Photo by Danielle Moe Like a story with many characters, Olsen is also active in Washburn County Home and Community Education, Washburn County Genealogical Society, quilters group, Indianhead Writers, the Alzheimer’s group Happy Club, attends a Bible class at St. Joseph’s, and also enjoys photography.

The ladies forming the quilters group create handmade quilts that are donated to different area organizations. Olsen became involved with quilting after the WCHS started a block quilt project. “After that we started doing the quilts at the senior center every Wednesday morning,” she explained.

A writer at heart, Olsen started submitting stories to the Washburn County Register, creating the Writer’s Corner, and has given life to the area’s past historical figures for her yearly play. Every August the play depicts the life of several different area residents that had a hand in local history.

A member of the Indianhead Writers for many years, Olsen has, along with other area writers, published four books through the group. “Potpourri,” an anthology, was published in 1983. The club also published a cookbook, “Tasting Wisconsin’s Past,” a children’s book, “The Story Tree, Let’s Read Together,” and the last release was a conglomeration of stories in “Kaleidoscope.”

What Olsen truly aspires to write is a collection of her own stories for her children. “I want to put together things I wrote about, mostly about my family, so that they will know something about our past,” she said. Olsen’s family could gain an understanding of the past from such an endeavor; between her eight children she has 15 grandchildren and more than 22 great-grandchildren, making her im-

mediate family large.

Olsen also enjoys being a tourist and has visited many different locations via tour bus. Canada, California, Washington, D.C., Florida and Tennessee are some of the places she has traveled to. “I like Texas,” she said laughing, “I like cowboys and that sort of thing, they have a rodeo there.” Other favorite trips were when she visited Dollywood and Graceland.

“I learned a lot more about what Elvis’ life was like,” she said pensively. “He did a lot of good for people, and he had a whole room full of records that he made that were gold records, floor to ceiling in a room,” she said, the awe apparent in her voice.

This December Olsen will go on another bus trip. “For three days we will go on a mystery bus trip, we don’t know where we will go,” she exclaimed laughing, “they always have a good place to go to.”

A happy and contented soul, Olsen is one that enjoys “most everything” and always listens fairly. “I am satisfied with things, I am thankful I am not sick,” she said nodding. “I like to let people talk, a lot of times listening is good.”

Babe Ruth • Shell Lake versus Rice Lake

The throw to second baseman Drew Johnson was too late for him to make the tag as the Rice Lake runner slid into second. Shell Lake went on to defeat Rice Lake 14-4 in five innings in a home game they played on Tuesday, July 2.

Andrew Dahlstrom slides into home for the run.

Jeff Carroll is a Webster player pitching for Shell Lake this season. He is one of three Webster and Siren players who are playing for Shell Lake because there was no program in their communities. It is a win-win situation for all communities as it gives the players new opportunities to play and to build new relationships.

Shell Lake base runner Taryrn Wals raced to beat the throw to third base. He slid safely into third to set up a run in the fifth inning.

Mercury, a rising problem

D

o you know the hazards that broken fluorescent bulbs pose? Are you one of those people that are skeptical of how harmful this toxin really is?

Why not read on for the answers.

Fluorescent bulbs, including compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs, and high-intensity discharge lamps typically contain mercury. When these bulbs are broken, most of the mercury vapor turns from a gas into a liquid because the pressure is released. Some of the vaporized mercury may be released into the atmosphere. This could be a health risk to people and the environment. Mercury is a poison that affects the central nervous system and may cause dermatitis, tremors and mental disturbances. Mercury is especially harmful to young children, the elderly and those who are pregnant.

There are fish consumption advisories in over 350 bodies of water in Wisconsin due to mercury contamination. Although some human exposure to mercury occurs by inhalation of toxic elemental mercury fumes – acute exposure, most exposure occurs through regular consumption of fish contaminated with methylmercury – chronic exposure. There are few studies that have looked at the health effects from chronic exposure to mercury, but acute exposures have indicated that the following health effects can occur from mercury poisoning.

In adults: Headache; memory, hearing and vision loss; slurred speech; impaired muscular coordination and spasms; loss of sensation in fingers and toes; numbness around mouth; reproductive problems; and paralysis.

In children whose mothers consumed mercury during pregnancy: Metal retardation; loss of coordination; visual problems; and cerebral palsy.

Dispose of mercury containing items such as fluorescent bulbs, a small fee required, fever thermometers and thermostats at one of Northwest Cleansweep’s household hazardous waste collection events held throughout the summer months. The next HHW collection in our area is on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Burnett County Highway Shop in Siren. Call Jen with any questions regarding household hazardous waste or recycling at 715-6352197, jbarton@nwrpc.com. Also, broken fluorescent bulbs should be discarded in garbage, not brought to the HHW collection; once the glass is broken the damage has already occurred.

Fluorescent bulbs are also collected year-round at a number of Burnett and Washburn counties recycling sites, contact Jen for more info or visit the website at nwrpc.com for locations and times.

Area writers corner Dreaming of big bands

by Mary B. Olsen esterday I awoke hearing music but it must have been in my dreams. They called it swing and jazz.

You don’t hear that anymore. Growing up in a small town, the jazz music era almost passed us by, those of us out of the swing of things. You went to the movies and heard big bands play and there were sometimes radio programs featuring some of the big bands. We heard about Benny Goodman, the “king of swing.” There were personalities like Rudy Valee on radio. The same with jitterbug dancing, maybe we were too far back in the sticks for such things.

One time, when I was about 10, I went with my mother to Chicago on the train. The Chicago Theater at the time had live performers promoting their films. It was exciting to sit in the audience and hear a solo by Dick Haymes, in person, walking onto the stage, singing the songs he sang in the movie you would see later. An announcer introduced him and then suddenly the curtain parted and the big band in snazzy uniforms blasted out jazz music as a part of the stage moved forward. There were a few songs and some pleasant talk from the star. I was delighted to hear the music. Unlike your average small-town bands, these trumpets and clarinets and trombones shook the rafters. It was fantastic. Since that introduction, I fell in love with jazz and swing music, played by the big bands popular at the time.

The music that ushered in the big band era began with the early jazz ensembles and bands in New York and Chicago in black clubs and grew in the 1920s with per-

sonalities like Paul Whiteman, Vincent Lopez and Fred Waring. In the 1930s and into the 1940s, we had the bands of Benny Goodman, Woody Herman and Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey and Jimmy Dorsey and Bob Crosby; all popular bands that toured the big cities. We could hear them in film and on radio and on records. During World War II the big bands continued, but never as big. Only the big band of Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians was heard every New Year’s Eve, to usher in the new year from the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City on radio and later on television and from the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

The music has been absorbed into our culture, but the big bands are gone. One exception is the Lawrence Welk band. Now I can just imagine the reader turning away with a frown. This is old people’s music. Guess what?

It was old people’s music from the start. It is possible that is why it survived, unlike the big bands with the big names.

The Lawrence Welk legacy continues today. Lawrence Welk came into the world March 11, 1903, in Strasburg, S.D. His parents came to America in 1892 from the Ukraine by way of Germany. They had been part of the Germans living in Russia. They spoke German at home, but their community in America taught the children English. Lawrence loved music. He made an agreement with his father that if he bought him an accordion from the mail order catalog, for $400, he would stay at home and help farm until he was 21. He began performing in bands and gave whatever he earned to the family. He left at 21, and started his own orchestra, played in clubs and for dances. In the 1920s he had the Hotsy Totsy Boys, and later the Honolulu Fruit Growers Orchestra. His was the station band for WNAX Radio in Yankton, S.D. During the 1930s he had a traveling big band. His style was dance music, the sweet sound of swing as well as popular music with a beat for dancing. At an engagement at the William Penn Hotel, in Pittsburg, a dancer told him their music was “as sweet and bubbly as champagne,” and he began to market his champagne music.

Supermoon and Superman I

t was on Sunday, June 23, that the full moon was not only the closest, but also the largest full moon of the year. It was the moon’s closest encounter with Earth for all of 2013. The moon will not be so close again until August 2014. The moon was called a supermoon. With all the rain clouds that had covered our evening sky prior to that date, I wondered if I would be able to view the supermoon. As it turns out, I was able to see the bright light that governs the night sky.

About the same time that we were hearing about the supermoon, we were also hearing about Superman.

Another Superman movie, “Man of Steel,” hit movie theaters this summer. Donning the red cape as Superman is actor Henry Cavill.

The first big-screen Superman movie serials ran from 1948-1950 and starred Kirk Alyn.

When I think of Superman, it is actor Christopher Reeve that I think of. Christopher Reeve, not to be confused with George Reeves who played Superman on the TV series from 1952-

1958.

Christopher Reeve played the superhero in the 1978 blockbuster “Superman: The Movie.” I don’t consider myself to be one that is attracted to superheroes, but I did enjoy “Superman: The Movie” and its sequel “Superman II,” that came out in 1980. In 1983 “Superman III” was released. I don’t recall seeing “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” from 1987.

A bit of trivia I remember about Superman is that his dad’s name is Jor-El. How would I remember a fact such as that? A friend of mine named her son, born in 1984, Jorell.

Am I planning to be entertained by viewing the movie “Man of Steel?” I’m not sure yet. I do know that I probably will be unconsciously seeing a lot of marketing of Superman products whether we are experiencing a full moon, new moon, supermoon or no moon.

The life on the road was rigorous. They drove their cars and slept in them. The more permanent gigs were better. They played the Trianon Ballroom in Chicago for 10 years. There would be crowds numbering 7,000. Also, the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. They were on a radio program on ABC from 1949 to 1951. Then they went to California and played the Aragon Ballroom in Venice Beach. ABC picked up the show in 1955. Lawrence built a golf course in Escondido near San Diego. After some years on television, the show went to syndication and can still be seen on PBS. The music the band played was sort of conservative, and a good-humor easy listening style. The TV show was always family oriented. Welk was determined to keep it clean for the kids. No crude language or bare anything.

Square? Sure. Beautiful costumes, music of the sweetest kind, and with Lawrence leading the band, you were assured classy entertainment.

Lawrence Welk was married to the same wife 61 years.

They had three children. He danced with the ladies in the audience, and especially enjoyed leading the band when they played Dixieland. The polka was part of it, too. He had Myron Floren, playing accordion and great entertainers like Bob Lido, Jack Imel, the Lennon sisters, Anacana, Mary Lou Metzger and his Champagne Lady, Norma Zimmer. He retired in 1982. He passed away in 1992. You don’t see any big bands of the Dorsey brothers or even Bob Crosby, any more, but some of the Welk players perform on tours as “The Live Lawrence Welk Show.” Like but not the same as a big band. The music lives but the big bands are gone. All but “The Lawrence Welk Show,” that still goes on.

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

We had an absolutely wonderful week here in Barronett. The weather was perfect for Independence Day celebrations. The area beaches and lakes were packed with families relaxing and enjoying time together.

Terry Goodrich spent three days in Gettysburg, Pa., reenacting the Civil War battle which many consider the turning point of that war. This year is the 150th anniversary of the battle, which occurred on July 2, 3 and 4, 1863.

Terry traveled out with a group of men from the First Minnesota Company A out of Fort Snelling, Minn.

Terry said that the re-enactment is extremely true to the original battle. He wore a woolen Yankee uniform, which was made for him over 30 years ago by Agnes Hohweiler. He said that his uniform was older, and in better condition, than a lot of the guys in the re-enactment.

He also said that the uniform Agnes made is much nicer than anything he could have bought in a store. He carried 50 pounds of equipment with him most of the time, and for three days ate nothing but salt pork and hardtack and drank coffee. He slept on the rocky ground. He got rained on. One nice thing, he only saw three mosquitoes and four wood ticks the entire time he was there. He said he saw more ambulances than insects because of cases of heat exhaustion, sprains, etc. Terry was pretty lucky. He only suffered a blister on one toe. Most of the guys had much worse things than that happen. He thought that, for a guy getting ready to go on Medicare, he did pretty well.

He also said that he didn’t take off his pants or boots the entire time, just slept in them. And, when they were being shelled, with blanks, of course, the noise of the cannons was just horrific, but he did fall asleep during the shelling a couple of times.

Terry said that suffering some of the hardships that the original soldiers suffered gave him a better idea of the horrors of the war.

Terry was one of the actors in the movie “Gettysburg,” which was made in about 1992. He plays the part of a Yankee private. He said that one part of the movie was shot at Cults Hill and Little Round Top. He was one of the men who had to charge from the top to the bottom of the hill.

Anyway, he got close to where the enemy was entrenched and he had to go down as if he had been injured. One of the Rebel soldiers came up to him and said, “Yank, you got any ammunition?” Terry told him that he only had three rounds left. The Rebel asked if he could take them and Terry told him to go ahead. The Rebel thanked him and took off. Then, another Rebel came up and grabbed his ammunition box, but it was empty and the Rebel got mad and used a few choice words, Terry said, “Sonny, I’ve already been robbed by one of you guys.” You’d think that would be enough, wouldn’t you? Not quite. A third Rebel soldier came crawling toward Terry, and when he found out that Terry didn’t have any more weapons he said, “Yank, you’re going to die.” At that point he started crawling over Terry and grabbed his bayonet. Well, Terry was not going to stand for that, so he grabbed the Rebel’s — oops, I guess maybe I’d better not say where he grabbed him, but it convinced the Rebel to drop the bayonet. The Rebel sat there for a while, Terry offered him some water, he accepted, and they sat and talked about hunting. Sounds like the Rebel decided that not all Yankee soldiers were bad. I’ve got to see that movie and try to pick Terry out of the crowd of soldiers.

We are pretty proud of one of our hometown heroes, Alee Adams. If you know Alee, you probably know that he has always wanted to be a fireman. He attended Lake Superior College in Duluth and graduated from fire technology and administration last year. The training paid off. Alee and Sheila Torgerson Niemann received awards from the Apple River Fire Department in recognition of an outstanding job saving the life of a young man on June 16.

Way to go Alee and Sheila!

And, we have a hometown hero who is home from Afghanistan. Aaron Volbrecht, son-in-law of Kelly and Paula Nelson, returned home on Memorial Day weekend.

Aaron is presently stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky., but he, Abby and little daughter, Emily, were able to come home and spend three weeks recently visiting Aaron’s parents in Eau Claire and Abby’s family here in Barronett. Aaron and Abby attended Barronett Lutheran while they were here, and the congregation was overjoyed to welcome him back home.

Paula Nelson was able to spend some quality time with grandchildren recently. While Nick and Sandy Nelson were in Alaska for a couple of weeks to check on some property, their daughters, Halei and Jenna, stayed here to visit with Grandpa and Grandma. And, while Aaron and Abby were here, Paula was able to watch Emily for them once in a while. Sounds like Grandma Paula had lots of fun with the little ones.

Congratulations go out to Kristy and Donovan Gilbert, who renewed their wedding vows at the home of Carol and Chance Farlow on June 29. Kristy and Donovan were married in a civil ceremony last fall, but wanted to have their marriage blessed by the church at this time. Pastor Dennis Wright of Northern Lakes Community Church in Cumberland officiated. After the ceremony, guests were treated to wonderful food and live music. Everyone, even the family dogs, had a very nice time and we all want to wish the happy couple many years of marital bliss.

Dennis and Darlene Speiser of Montrose, Minn., visited Ruth and Dick Grover on Wednesday, July 3. They spent the day visiting and enjoying each other’s company.

Pooch and Ken Olson had a house full of company this past weekend. They had 16 people and two dogs visiting.

The guests slept in five tents that they had set up in the backyard. The kids played outside most of the time and had lots of fun. They sat around a big bonfire at night and stayed up way too late most of the time. Pooch said that they had a great time while the kids, grandkids and dogs were here.

The Copus family and friends were up from southern Wisconsin this past week. There are quite a few of them when they all get together. There were about 45 that went tubing on the Namekagon River on Saturday. They also watched the fireworks, fished, played cards and just generally had a great time while they were here.

Kenny and Kathy Adams’ kids and grandkids came up from Missouri to camp with them over the Fourth of July. Those little grandkids are adorable. I’ll be surprised if Kathy doesn’t hide them somewhere so the parents can’t take them back home.

Sanara Marsh was home from Worcester, Mass., for a few days over the Fourth of July. She, Savana and their dad, Jerry, camped out with the Copus clan, visited with relatives, did a lot of fishing, and just generally enjoyed having Sanara home for a few days. She will be starting her second year at Worcester Polytechnic Institute this fall.

Jay, Marcia, Jordan and Jace Olson, Jordan’s friend, Kaley, and Andrew, Jessica, Cedar and Aspen King visited from Missouri this past week. They had a great time visiting, watching fireworks and fishing.

Shirley Overvig hosted a birthday party/get-together on July 2 for some of the women who celebrated birthdays during the summer. Her guests were Pat Sweet, Geri Pittman, Dorothy Orth, Ruth Grover and me. Shirley had lots of food to snack on and a delicious cake. We all had a very nice time visiting and solving the problems of the world.

I’ve got my insect repellent brewing. I put the whole cloves into the alcohol, and now it has to sit for a few more days before I add the baby oil. By next week I should be able to let you know if it works or not.

The outdoor worship service at Barronett Lutheran will be on July 21. Worship service will start at 10 a.m. that morning, and there will be a potluck dinner immediately after the service. Hope you can join us. Bring your own lawn chairs if possible.

There’s a bunch more stuff I wanted to tell you about this week, but this is turning into a book so I’d better sign off. Have a great week, and I’ll see you next time.

O

ne day a man decided that he was going to kill President Harry S. Truman. He waited patiently for the right moment when the president would come into his line of sight.

Just as he pulled the trigger and fired his gun, a Secret Service agent threw himself in front of the president, took the bullet and was killed. He gave his life for the president, and the president’s life was spared.

“I never knew what it meant,” said Mr. Truman, “to have someone die in my place.”

There is one, however, who has died in our place that we might have eternal life and live forever with him.

This one that gave his life did not live a secret life. He lived his life where all could see him, hear him, come to know him and follow him. The Bible says that, “He loved me and gave himself for me.”

Thank God that he loves us, gave his Son for us and that he died for us.

their daughter, Nancy Croyan, was up from Eau Claire.

They went to Peggy’s in Siren dress shopping for a wedding. Their daughter Patty and husband Paul Anderson of Beloit were out to Gettysburg where they were doing the re-enactment at the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Virginia Stodola attended her cousin Camilla Johnson’s 95th birthday party at her home in Haugen on July 4. Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson, were up on Sunday and they took his mom to town and ate out.

Sympathy to Glenn Campbell, Trego, and family in the death of his wife, Charlotte, on July 2. She is my first cousin.

Norm and Donna Ness visited his brother, Henry, rural Spooner, and took him to the Prime for breakfast on Saturday. Sunday they took mission stuff down to Harley and Bev Becker and Jacki and John Flaton and took in the Turtle Lake fair. Donna Ness is going to help. She is going to be a greeter at Farm Tech Days in Dallas.

A bear was one step ahead of Donna Ness. They were going to pick their strawberries one morning, but a bear went down the row and ate every one the night before.

Elfreda West spent July Fourth with her family at daughter Janet Donetell’s in Shell Lake.

Mavis Schlapper, Joyce Wade and Jan Rath took in the Polka Fest at Willard, down by Eau Claire, last Saturday.

This Sunday night they attended the dance at the Backwoods Saloon and the fireworks there.

Jan Rath had been to Nashville, Tenn., for a few days visiting her son, Dillian, and the grands. She took in the Grand Ole Opry while there.

Last Saturday, Corey Furchtenicht and friend Charlene hosted a pig roast at his house with a good turnout.

Steffen Krog and girlfriend from Denmark visited me on Tuesday afternoon. We toured Fuernot Farm.

Thursday evening, I went along with daughter Mary Marschall, Steffen Krog and friend Michelle to Wealthy Marschall’s in Amery for a July Fourth get-together. John and boys Brady and Brian and John’s brother, Daryl Marschall, were already there and baled hay and got it in the mow for Wealthy. There was lots of great food with

around 35 folks enjoying.

Lots of luscious pies were enjoyed and there was a good turnout at the Washburn County Historical Society pie and ice-cream social at the museum on Saturday. Thanks to Mable Mathison for organizing it again.

Saturday, Russ and Nancy, Ryan, Jessie, Jillian and Jaxson Furchtenicht and Ralph and Arlene VanMeter, Tooker and Sue Weathers, Aaron and Kerri Gamboni and other family members from out of town attended the wedding of Holly and Brandon Gustafson in Onalaska. Brandon is the son of Nancy’s sister, Mary, and Kyle Gustafson. Congrats to the newlyweds.

Sunday some classmates of Spooner Class of 1950 got together on short notice for breakfast at the Family Restaurant in Spooner to see Don and Gayle Salquist Okonek who were here from Myrtle Creek, Ore. They had come for the Salquist family reunion held at her brother Del’s, their home place by Spooner Lake. Attending besides Don and Gayle were Cecil and Shirley Scribner, Wally and Barb Koel, Mitzie Paulson, Carolyn West and myself.

I visited my sister, Sharon Wilber in the Spooner hospital afterward. Put Sharon on your prayer list. She had spent a week at Miller Dawn in Duluth, then to Spooner last Wednesday as a swing-bed patient.

As I drove past the old Trinity Lutheran Church on Elm Street in Spooner, now Lakeland Family Resource Center, I stopped across the street from it and took a picture of it as it was 63 years ago on that date Johnnie and I were married there. Where do the years go?

Happy birthday to Keith Halvorson, July 11; Willie Lombard, Annie Okonek, Joann Irvine and Neil Johnston, July 12; Pat Sweet, Tim Ullom, Kenny Conners, Scott Wade, Brent Pederson and Helen Fletcher, July 13; Beth Lawrence, Dexter Hubin and Carter Sundeen, July 14; Nell Lee, Kyle Schaffer and Troy Strand, July 15; Steven Lee, Morgan Kruegar and Scott Pfluger, July 16; and Fritz Mancl, Tony Ullom, Tim Elliott and Francis Anderson, July 17.

This week is Farm Tech Days in Barron County and also the Spooner Rodeo.

by Helen V. Pederson

We woke up with a foggy day on Monday, July 8. It was a little cooler and we welcomed the rain the night before. We have been having lots of heat. We can’t complain as rain and heat keep the gardens and flowers looking good Dorothy Neste had a birthday at Glenview on Saturday, June 29. We hope you had an enjoyable day, Dorothy Lillian Ullom has now moved into the Evergreen Apartments just down the road from Glenview. I hope you enjoy it, Lillian. She’s on the second floor so she can see the lake.

I hear Bernadette Friedell is now home here in Shell Lake after spending some time having therapy after her stroke. Her daughter, Robin, is with her. Get well, Bernadette.

Little Penelope McQuade of St. Paul, Minn., came to visit Pat Rounce in the special care wing along with other relatives.

Monday, July 1, was National Build a Scarecrow Day … and we celebrated it by watching Janice Organ build a scarecrow out in Andy’s garden. We then had a little name contest to see what its name should be. Ruth McConkie’s name suggestion was the winner drawn out of the hat with “Humphrey.” So Humphrey says hi!

Last Tuesday afternoon Glenview tenants, Carla Gronning, Sue and Tooker Weathers, and Janice Organ, our driver, enjoyed a very special time at Chuck and Betty Kronlund’s home in Spooner for iced tea and a tour of their flower garden. The weather, though nice, prohibited us from venturing too far out where the air conditioning did not flow. We were also surprised to see Kaye and Larry Margraf there. They had just returned from

How can I say thanks for the things you have done for me, how can I say thanks for the things you have given me. I know these words are familiar, but how can I ever thank all of you dear, dear friends for making Sunday afternoon, June 23, such a memorable occasion. I never dreamed of doing anything like a concert, maybe a little sing-along, but not a concert. Thanks to Dean, Patty and Betsy for planning and organizing everything. I thank all of you for your participation too. It was great. So wonderful to see former Pastors, Marty and Terry Nolet, Don and Michelle Gribble and Bev Maser, renewing friendships from years back, also to have my family with me; my daughter, granddaughter, 3 great-grandchildren and daughter-in-law.

Thank you for all your gifts, greetings and beautiful flowers, but most of all, thank you for being there with me.

Florida where they spent the winter. We want to thank Chuck and Betty for their gracious hospitality and the treats. Their flowers are just beautiful.

Tuesday night several of us here at Glenview watched the city of Shell Lake’s fireworks display and the mosquitoes weren’t too bad.

On July Fourth, Ruth Swan and her daughter, Joni Parker, enjoyed a picnic at Robyn and Jim Sentzer’s on Rolf’s Point. It was a family reunion on the Swan side.

Peder Pederson was a guest of Cheri and Steve Minot and family on Sunday.

Saturday found Doris Linton with her family in our activity room having a family reunion.

On Wednesday visitors of John and Mary Marschall’s were Brent and Toni Saffert, Karen and Ben Holzem, Michelle and Stephan Krog of Denmark, Brady and Ashley, and son Brian. After supper they went to Shell Lake to enjoy the fireworks and the music. The Krogs left for home in Denmark at the end of the week.

Thursday the Marschalls enjoyed a get-together at Wealthy Marschall’s for the Fourth of July for friends and relatives. They had about 30 or so people. Then on Saturday, Wealthy had a family reunion at her home for the Smith side of the family.

I’ve had a few calls from my daughter, Sue Winner, who is at a Lions convention in Germany. They started out with a cruise down the Rhine River from Amsterdam.

She said it was quite cool there.

Nick Pederson of Minneapolis and Aaron Pederson of New Ulm, Minn., spent the holiday with Jeff and Brent Pederson. I think they got in a little golfing at Butternut Hills, too. Nicole Cummings of Minneapolis also visited at the Pedersons.

It was a beautiful Fourth of July. Finally got some hot weather, in the 80s, for folks to enjoy and make the corn grow. Crops are looking good. We had very high humidity the end of the week and ended with a nice shower Sunday evening.

Fireworks around were beautiful, as usual.

Katty Shack breakfast/brunch this month brought out 18 gals and a dozen guys for a good visit. It was nice to see Betty Hartman here from Tennessee.

A memorial service held a week ago Tuesday for Beverly Helmer brought relatives from away. Her son, Bob, and Shirley from West Bend, their daughter, Vicki and her two sons, son Mike and Tracie Helmer from Neenah, Bonnie Helmer’s son, Jim, and Kari Helmer from Kansas City, friends Barb Beine from Slinger and Jim Bird, West Bend and dear friend Ben from Waldo. It was nice to see them.

The Dan Whitneys, Larry the Cable Guy, were here over the Fourth of July. He had his usual fireworks on Long Lake. His wife, Cara’s mom, Mary West, didn’t come home this summer. She is in Cheyenne at daughter Lynda’s.

They sell Larry the Cable Guy’s potato chips and cheesy popcorn at Menards. That is where I bought mine. It is very good. A portion of the proceeds is donated to assist organizations that have experienced hardships beyond their control. With this help, they can have a chance to “Git ‘R Done.”

Les Vogt had shoulder surgery last Monday and all went well. He starts therapy this week. A speedy recovery is wished and you’ll be as good as new.

Sunday lots of neighbors celebrated Ruth Eiche’s 50th birthday with a party at her home on Little Ripley. Great food, huge cake and a fun day to end the holiday season.

Riley West went to Deer Park to spend some time with the Croe grandparents and help them hay.

Visitors at Sam and Libby DeTrent’s were her cousin, Butch and Denise Jenson, Elk Mound. They went fishing on Bear Lake and enjoyed a fresh fish fry.

Allan and Charlotte Ross’ son, John, Appleton, was up and did a little fishing so they, too, enjoyed his catch when

May you enjoy that dear little boy.

Cecil and Evelyn Melton attended the open house for Cecil’s sister, Doris Linton, who turned 95. Understand they had a large turnout.

Sunday, Patti and Noel Beaufeaux and sons Mitch and Kyle, Lisa Otto and children Margie and Charlie, Jim, Scott and Kristen Carls and girls were at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s. The Atkinsons celebrated 51 years together on June 26. Congratulations.

Talking with Ann Johnson, she tells us her daughter, Cheri Amundson, was home Saturday spending the day.

Duane Johnson now has his first-crop hay all up. Great to hear, Duane.

Coming to celebrate the Fourth of July were Jim Toll’s sister, Tammy Toll, and her son Monty, daughter Michelle and honey and family, Chris Toll and family were up and also Tammy Moe. Dave put up Jim’s hay for him, which was great. People had cookouts every day.

Talking with Jody Knoop, she says Steve and she enjoyed camping in their little private place.

Rudy and Marjean Fisher and Edmond came July 2 to Butch and Loretta VanSelus’ for a few days. The Fishers stayed at Phil and Carrie Miller’s home while here. On July 4 Rudy and Marjean had a cookout for Harold Stone and Loretta VanSelus. Mark and Shelly Stone and Kelsey, Cameron and Carter came to see Loretta and Butch VanSelus. The Stones rent a house while here on vacation.

They enjoyed supper at the Dinner Bell in Trego, taking Butch and Loretta with. Monday, July 1, found Butch and Loretta at Foxxy’s celebrating Butch’s birthday.

Saturday evening, Beth and Garry Crosby attended Beth’s 45th anniversary of when she graduated from Cumberland High School. It was held at the Cumberland Golf Course.

What a change in weather we had on Monday morning!

Yes, it was cool and nice.

Those two puppies of mine certainly are funny! This last week I found Rammy up on my coffee table and he was the king of the hill. He got up there and when Rory was trying to get up there, too, Rammy growled and barked and wouldn’t let Rammy up. Such cute things those two pups do.

Scatter sunshine.

Have a great week.

A creative look at the Potter’s Shed through the lens of summer school students

Ellie Nelson was careful not to startle the mother as she took this photo of a robin sitting on her clutch of eggs. The mother guarded her babies as people walked around, unaware of the nest, at the Potter’s Shed on June 27.

Jennica Yates liked this photo she took on the photography class field trip to the Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake on Thursday, June 27. Yates was showing contrast between the metal and glass against the green plants.

Photos submitted

The class was not limited to shooting in the garden, as Matthew Allar created a warm and inviting photo of a table at the Potter’s Shed Cafe.

Tayla Lundberg used her creativity as she took a photo of a columbine from a lower angle. The Potter’s Shed is a favorite place for the summer school photography students.

The sun glitters and reflects off the flowing water in a water feature at the Potter’s Shed.

Julia Balser used the morning light to great a beautiful photo.

The students in the photography class in the first session of Shell Lake summer school learned about post processing an image in Photoshop.

Mikenzi Miller enhanced her image of a metal sculpture by giving it a more metallic look.

Newest recruit to help battle purple loosestrife

by Larry Samson Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Purple loosestrife is an invasive species that threatens the natural wetlands in Wisconsin. Without its natural enemies, it can outcompete the native plant species, changing the habitat for animals living in the wetlands.

The introduction of the beetles that eat the leaves or flowers of the purple loosestrife is the newest tool in the battle to contain this evasive plant. The city of Shell Lake is working with the Shell Lake School to produce the beetles.

High school science student Calista Holman is producing the beetles in her

parents’ backyard as a public service to the community. The beetles will be used to control the plant in the shoreline in the south bay of Shell Lake.

The city of Shell Lake is asking landowners to eradicate purple loosestrife from their property. They have a brochure that is available in city hall that contains

information on how to identify and control purple loosestrife. If anyone has a large infestation and would like some beetles, they can contact the city at 715468-7679 during business hours.

This little purple loosestrife beetle is the newest recruit to help battle the purple loosestrife. Purple loosestrife is an invasive plant accidentally imported from Europe. The beetles have been imported to help slow the spread of the weed. — Photos by Larry Samson Shell Lake High School student Calista Holman is raising purple loosestrife beetles in the back of her family’s garden. The loosestrife plant and beetles wrapped in cheesecloth are raised in special conditions.

Calista Holman shows a purple loosestrife leaf that has been eaten and damaged by the small beetle. The beetle prefers loosestrife and is not a problem to other plants.

Five of the sailors were in their 70s. There was a nice wind to make the race interesting and fast. — Photos by Larry Samson

by Larry Samson Register staff writer RICHLAND CENTER — BJ Burton, 2013 Shell Lake High School graduate, and Nick Kyser of Sparta took third place in the steer roping at the Wisconsin High School State Championship Rodeo held June 13-17 at Richland Center. Burton took second place in the calf roping. By placing in the top four they qualify for the High School National Rodeo Finals that are held in Rock Spring, Wyo., on July

14-20. They will be competing on Sunday, July 14. Finals will have competitors from 43 states, five Canadian provinces and from Australia.

Burton and Kyser have been team roping since they were in the seventh grade, competing in various Wisconsin rodeos.

Burton plans to attend college at UW-Stevens Point to study biology. He plans to continue competing in college rodeo and maybe, someday competing professionally.
