Shell Lake man dies from carbon monoxide poisoning Family members, sheriff’s deputy, EMS workers treated at local hospitals after feeling effects of poisonous gas SHELL LAKE - A portable gas generator being used without ventilation in the basement of a home is being blamed for the carbon monoxide death of a 32-year-old Shell Lake man. Joseph A. Parker was taken to Indianhead Medical Center early Tuesday morning, July 16, where he was pronounced dead. His wife and two daughters, who were also in the home, were also taken to IMC for carbon monoxide exposure and are “doing as well as can be expected,” according to a news release from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department. Washburn County Sheriff’s Deputy Brendan Harrington was among those exposed to the carbon monoxide. He was taken to Spooner Health System for treatment, and several Shell Lake firefighters and members of the North Ambulance crew were taken to IMC for exposure to carbon monoxide as well. All are doing well, however, some were back at the hospital later in the day Tuesday for fur-
ther examination as they were experiencing some aftereffects of the exposure. At approximately 3 a.m., Washburn County Sheriff’s dispatchers received a 911 call, the caller stating her father had fallen down the stairs and was not breathing. As authorities responded to the home at 109 6th Ave., they requested assistance, believing carbon monoxide was present in the home. A preliminary investigation shows that there was no electricity in the home and a portable gas generator set up in the basement had no proper ventilation to the outside and carbon monoxide accumulated throughout the home. A carbon monoxide reading at the top of the stairs leading to the basement was approximately 790 to 800 parts per million. “One could assume that the basement was much higher, probably double the parts per million,” said a statement from Dryden. Exposures at 100 ppm or greater can be dangerous to human health, according to Wikipedia.com. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas, but, being colorless, odorless, tasteless and initially nonirritating, it is very difficult for people to detect. “This is a terrible tragedy for the Parker fam-

School board accepts donation; awards bid for technology project by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER - Approval for bids on the school district’s technology plan, updates on the district budget and additional negotiations on teacher contracts were some of the items discussed at the Monday, July 15, meeting of the Spooner School Board. The only pieces of the technology project out for bids include cases for iPads, equipment for the virtual desktop interface and the server. Hugh Miller, district technology coordinator, recommended the board approve awarding CDWG their bid on the iPad cases, and Heartland for the VDI and server upgrade equipment. “We have done business with Heartland before; they are a reputable company,” stated Miller. Heartland’s bid was the lowest at $426,570.09. “Heartland can offer state contract pricing through what the Department of Administration has put together at the state level,” explained Miller. The board approved bids to both companies.
Teacher negotiations halted Negotiations with the teachers union last week halted when union representative Hope Walker stated they would take the school board’s offer of a 1.5-percent salary increase for the 2013-14 school year to the union members for the vote. Board members observed during their meeting on Monday that the teachers had voted against the proposed contract. The personnel committee and representatives of the teachers union agreed to reconvene for additional negotiations on Monday, July 22.
pleted in August. According to Markgren, the district’s 2013-14 budget will receive $78,629 in high-poverty aid from the state. “The district reached 50-percent districtwide free and reduced lunch numbers last year,” stated Markgren. This puts the district in a new aid category that fits under general state aid. “With this addition we lost only 8 percent of aid from last year instead of the maximum-allowed 15 percent that we have experienced for the past decade,” stated Markgren.
Budget update District business manager Mike Markgren provided the board with a 2012-13 and 2013-14 budget update. In the 201213 update Markgren observed that, due to spring sport cancellations, athletics is currently $15,000 under budget. On the flip side, due to higher-than-anticipated levels of students, the virtual and alternative schools’ revenues will fall $10,000 short. Markgren expects to give a full report on the budget after the district audit is com-
Cooperative programs The board approved continuing two separate cooperative agreements with different school districts. The first agreement is for the school to continue providing occupational therapy services to Shell Lake and Birchwood school districts. In the agreement, Spooner charges Shell Lake and Birchwood for the services of their occupational therapist. “We cut our CESA costs about in half by doing this,” stated Markgren. The second
agreement involves the school districts of Birchwood, Northwood and Shell Lake to continue the alternative high school, the Washburn County High School. “It has helped a lot of kids receive high school diplomas over the years,” stated Haack. The board accepted the donation of a lathe from the Nexen Corporation, along with materials to work with the lathe and training for teachers. The lathe will replace two old machines in the school’s machine shop. “It is a wonderful donation,” observed Haack. Additionally recommended to the board by Haack was adding an additional contract day to the 2014-15 school year for teachers, and increasing the extracurricular salaries by 1.5 percent. The last salary increase was in 2010-11. As of this time, the district has not started negotiations with the support-staff union, custodial union and nonunion employees. Board members Bev Bohac and Robert Hoellen were not present at the meeting.
Unknown property may mean additional cost to school district
Delays in district’s 2013-14 energy project noted
by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - The school’s 2013-14 energy project has experienced delays. According to Jim Connell, district superintendent, the primary school is about 75-percent complete with the hot water upgrade. The project was slated to be complete by June 30. “I am not going to point fingers, but there was some lack of attention to detail,” Connell stated at the school board’s regular monthly meeting Monday, July 15. Connell attributed the delays to the planning approval process through the state taking longer than expected. The board approved the energy exemption resolution, allowing the district to exceed its revenue cap in order to replace the roof on the 3-12 building. Currently the roof is 20 years old and the building is 21. “We need a new roof, and this is the most effective, most efficient way of getting one - bottom line,” said Connell. The school expects to save $4,100 in energy costs once the new roof is complete. The total cost for the project is estimated at $419,000 and involves replacing the existing membrane roofing material with 60-mil product. The project also includes increasing the R value of the roof to a
minimum of R32. “The levy amount for this fiscal year will be $250,000 with the balance to be paid in the next fiscal year,” said board President Jeri Bitney. According to Connell, the school became aware that they still own property by the Shell Lake Arts Center. The city’s 2013 street project alerted the school to the findings but, “That is not necessarily a good thing because there is about $6,300 of curb and gutter work being done on that parking lot,” stated Connell. Apparently neither the SLAC or the district knew the school still legally owns the lot and neither wants to foot the bill for the work. “I talked to Brad Pederson (city administrator) to perhaps see if the city is interested in just taking over the parking area and they might be,” he said.
quantify. The Positive Interventions Behavior and Support program is framework that guides the process of selecting and implementing the best academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students. This software will only be used in the elementary school in tandem with the PBIS program. Last year the school used the district Skyward program for collecting data, but it did not provide accurate data. “It is really going to help us track individuals that have lots of behavior issues so that we can fine-tune our interventions with those students,” stated Stunkel. There will be an informational display board on the PBIS program available during the elementary school open house. The open house will be Aug. 29, from 5-7 p.m. There will also be a seventh-grade orientation that evening and a free dinner K-6 principal report In the new kindergarten through sixth- will be provided to any students, adults grade principal’s first report to the board, can eat for $3.

Shell Lake School District welcomes new principal
Connell observed a smooth start for the first summer the school has offered swim lessons. A total of 100 children are signed up for the lessons, and according to Connell, they have received a lot of positive comments about the program. “This year it will cost us more money than we will get in state aid, next year we will just about break even, and year three and forever after we will make money,” stated Connell. He explained that state aid is based on the average daily membership of a program over three years. “We only have one year of a bigger summer school program, so we only get one-third the benefit, next year two-thirds, the following year three-thirds,” explained Connell. In the end, he thinks the program will be a huge benefit. Connell received word about a matching grant that may help the school. “It is about $18,000 in replacing the equipment in our ITV room,” he stated. The technology to be replaced was found to still be a usable technology 10 years from now in teaching students. The current equipment has failed, and Connell attributes the loss to the equipment being about 18 years old. Board member Steve Naglosky was not present at Monday’s meeting.

for being a fair but firm prosecutor. He has always demonstrated an exemplary courtroom demeanor, keen trial instincts and a likable personality.” Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden wrote in support of Bitney, “Over his many years as district attorney, Mike has vast experience in criminal prosecution, everything from homicide to criminal damage to property. Mike has had several high-profile cases involving homicide, criminal sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, and drug trafficking, not only in Washburn County, but as special prosecutor for other counties. Mike has and still is working diligently for the protection of the public and our law enforcement officers.” Bitney earned his Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor degrees from Hamline University in St. Paul, Minn. He and his wife, Nancy, an elementary school guidance counselor, have three teenage children. Their family is active in the Boy Scouts of America, youth athletics and their local church. Bitney is also a volunteer firefighter. Bitney will replace Judge Timothy Doyle, who retired on July 1. — from the office of Gov. Walker

Man on life support after bizarre incident Dwaine Douglas suffers apparent medical condition that leads to an ATV fall by Greg Marsten Special to the Register FREDERIC – A 40-year-old Fredericarea man continues to rely on life support in a Twin Cities hospital as he attempts to recover from an incident that occurred on Thursday, July 4, where he suffered injuries after an apparent medical condition occurred while he was riding an allterrain vehicle on a family outing in rural Washburn County. According to the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department, Dwaine Douglas, 40, Frederic, was riding his 2011 Bombardier ATV on the evening of July 4 at about 6 p.m. on Berry Road, about one-half mile north of Red Lake Road near Birchwood. Eyewitnesses and the police report indicate Douglas was riding with an adult female on the machine at between 30-40 mph, when he suddenly fell off the right side of the machine, out of the blue. His passenger also fell off and suffered minor injuries as the machine glided to a stop in the ditch. Douglas sustained severe head trauma from the fall, and Birchwood Ambulance responded to the scene and transported
him to Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake. Birchwood Police and Fire also responded to the scene, along with the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department, which is conducting the investigation. He was treated initially at LMC, but was then airlifted to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for further treatment. Douglas was initially listed as being in critical condition, and according to the police report, the family was given the option to discontinue life support, when surgeons conducted one more surgery the next day. While the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department has been actively involved in the investigation, they have focused almost exclusively on alcohol, as the initial narrative report leans heavily on beer consumption being at least somewhat involved. That has since been disputed by family and medical personnel. Multiple family members have vehemently denied that alcohol was the cause, and while stating that he had just a couple of beers in the six hours prior to the incident, they do not believe it to be even a contributing factor. Later medical opinions seem to support that line. One of Douglas’ siblings, who was on the scene and riding near him, said his head injuries were not as extensive as the initial report suggested, and that while there was a lot of blood, they do not think the trauma was that severe, and said there were definitely other medical issues that
caused the incident. In fact, his sister said Douglas was talking with his girlfriend passenger shortly before he fell off, when he just stopped talking midsentence, then slumped over to the ground. Family has confirmed that later CT scans indicate that he likely suffered some sort of medical condition at the time, likely several strokes or a brain aneurysm. Douglas moved to the Frederic area about a year and a half ago, coming up from the Clayton area. He grew up in southern Wisconsin, but has had many local connections through the years, as the family has owned a local sawmill for over two decades. He is a divorced father of four children between the ages of 23 and 9 years old. While Douglas remains on life support, family and friends continue to follow his condition day-by-day, and also hold out hope for his recovery. They have said he has made small indications at times that show he may be conscious and aware, but they are unable to confirm his condition. The family stresses that the ATV ride they were on was a planned family camping outing and part of their annual routine. The sheriff’s office continues to investigate the incident, but due to the differences in certain laws between states regarding medical liability, the investigator was advised that they may need to have either the Wisconsin State Patrol or
Hudson Police Department physically attempt to obtain Douglas’ medical records involving the incident. - compiled with information from the family of Dwaine Douglas and the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department.

Joseph’s wife and daughters could have been victims as well.” Dryden said that North Ambulance crew members, Shell Lake firefighters and sheriff’s deputies, once they knew about the carbon monoxide in the home and understanding the known risk to them personally, placed themselves in danger to help those in need. “Even using techniques to minimize their risk some were still exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide,” Dryden said. “We are so very thankful for first responders who place themselves in danger every day. Until a tragedy such as this, we tend to forget what we ask of them. Our thoughts and prayers are with Joseph Parker’s family.” - Gary King, with information from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Dept.

Historic light stations on Apostle Islands closed for preservation work by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio BAYFIELD - Four 19th century light stations on the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore are closed this summer for an ambitious preservation project. The $4 million projects are in full swing. In all, the Apostle Islands has six light stations with eight towers. Lakeshore Superintendent Bob Krumanaker says the project will not renovate the lighthouses, but it will preserve and stabilize them. “Even though this is a huge amount of work, this is just a down payment,” he says. The oldest light station was built in 1856 on Michigan Island. The newest — also on Michigan Island — was erected in 1929. Lakeshore historian Dave Cooper says these buildings represent the lives of hardscrabble keepers. “It called for a very versatile individual,” says Cooper.
“It wasn’t just keeping the light and the lantern. It was all the maintenance duty on station. You had to be a boat handler with the ability to transport yourself to and from the mainland.” Cooper says the isolation was tough, and gave an example. “It was the winter of 1874 and they ended up feuding so extensively that the families kept to opposite ends of the same building, trying to avoid each other,” he says. The work is expected to be finished by winter.

LLPA’s ice-cream social/silent auction set for July 27 LONG LAKE - The Long Lake Preservation Association continues its summer outreach with its annual ice-cream social and silent auction, set for Saturday, July 27, from noon until 3 p.m. at Greener’s Resort on CTH M on Long Lake. Whether longtime lakeshore resident or first-time visitor to the watershed, everyone is invited to enjoy a free ice-cream cone in the restaurant’s lower level as you look over auction items. Area businesses have offered a variety of gift certificates and merchandise in support of the LLPA’s work to sustain the high water quality of the lake. Browse information put together by the LLPA Board to highlight what has been achieved around the lake, look through aquatic invasive species displays and learn more about the ongoing AIS project. Ideas for future projects and steps that the LLPA could take are always welcome. Earlier this summer the LLPA was able to treat an area of curly-leaf pondweed
invasion in the narrows. To maintain the positive results achieved, this needs to be done annually for a three-year period. The LLPA relies on private donations to pay for CLP treatment. A generous private party has offered to meet dollar-fordollar all donations made to offset the cost of the treatment – so every dollar helps. Please help them keep the lake clean and free of invasive species. At the ice-cream social, the public can also learn about Clean Boats, Clean Waters landing education to prevent the spread of invasive species from other watersheds. The event also includes a toxic tackle exchange. Removing lead from water bodies protects loons and makes fishing safer for kids. Bring in your lead tackle and the LLPA will properly dispose of it and trade for nontoxic jigs and weights. For more information or if you are interested in making a donation for the silent auction visit longlakellpa.org. - from LLPA

Gettysburg honors 150th anniversary of battle
Local man takes part in re-enactment
Terry Goodrich of Cumberland rests by his shelter half, a fabric lean-to, after an exhausting day of battle. Re-enactors only had what they carried with them, but water was brought to the soldiers throughout each day. Re-enactment doesn’t end on the battlefield. At Gettysburg authenticity of every aspect of the battle is taken very seriously. Goodrich’s nights consisted of sleeping on the rocky ground with only a thin blanket and a length of fabric to keep moisture away. “We went a few miles to the west of the battlefield and camped up in some woods. We had shelter halves,” explained Goodrich. A shelter half is a square piece of fabric that alone can make a lean-to, but if put together with another will make a

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - This year marks the 150th anniversary of what many consider a key battle of the Civil War. The famous Battle of Gettysburg occurred in 1863 and lasted for three days. Beginning July 2, it is considered to be one of the bloodiest and most devastating battles of the entire Civil War. For the past 18 years the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee has orchestrated a three-day re-enactment in commemoration of that epic battle that left as many as 51,000 soldiers from both sides either killed, captured, wounded or missing. Just months after the battle, from the urging of the people of Gettysburg, Pa., the battlefield was dedicated as the first national cemetery in the United States. The site became even more noted as the place where President Abraham Lincoln gave his immortal speech, the “Gettysburg Address.” Terry Goodrich, along with 60 others from the 1st Minnesota Company A of Fort Snelling, made the trip to Gettysburg this July to take part in the ritual re-enactment of the celebrated battle. A resident of Cumberland, Goodrich works at Johnson Truck Bodies in Rice Lake. This year was his third time participating in the Gettysburg re-enactment. “A lot of this was about remembrance of the people that had actually done this,” Goodrich said. “Those that had gone out (into battle) and had a really good chance of being shot, we were honoring them.” His deep interest in history combined with his love of costuming launched his involvement in re-enactments. “I’ve been doing this since 1976,” he stated. Goodrich employs his passions widely and can be seen at the Washburn County Dairy Breakfast each year. “I’m the cowboy there that serves the pancakes; it is not unusual for me to do different things in costume like that,” he said, laughing. The re-enactment is carefully planned, just as the actual battle was, but not everything goes according to plan. “If you had the right troops in the right place, that made a difference,” he pointed out. The actual battle pushed troops into positions that were not planned, in turn pushing their physical and mental limits. Simple necessities like food, water and clean clothing became hardships for the original combatants but re-enactors only saw a glimpse that reality. “It was all fun and games, and I just can’t imagine what the original guys went through,” he acknowledged.
tent. These were affectionately named “dog tents” by troops as they resembled a doghouse. “We slept on really rocky, rocky ground and it was on a hill so you were continuously sliding down the hill if you didn’t have something to brace yourself with,” he said, laughing. Goodrich attributed his motivation for participating in the re-enactment as an attempt to understand the immense sacrifice of what the soldiers went through during the war. “I was glad they weren’t shooting real bullets at me,” he said. The exact reason why people keep coming back is hard for even Goodrich to pinpoint but he feels that the history of what happened there powers the pull. “The most fun I had there was at Culp’s Hill … that was when the South was trying to take the hill and we had to drive them back,” he said. During that skirmish his company drove Confederate forces back down the hill, securing the high ground for the Union. The barrages of cannons and continuous firing from guns caused reduced visibility, making the re-enactment that much more real. “There were times when the smoke was so heavy, it was like a blanket of smoke in front of us,” he related. Participants were at the mercy of Mother Nature as Goodrich experienced rain and heat in tandem with continuous cannon firing, only exhaustion brought him some rest. “It’s hard to believe that a person can fall asleep with that much noise, even at that distance you could feel the concussion in your chest,” he stated. Morale was kept up through the conditions with good-natured banter between the armies and the troops. “There was one time there that one of our guys on our side, the North, said, ‘How many rebels does it take to win a war?’ and then his buddy next to him said ‘I don’t know, how many?’ He says, ‘I don’t know either because they never won one yet,’” he said breaking into laughter. Participant numbers at this years re-enactment are estimated to be 10,000, and according to Goodrich at least 500 horses represented cavalry re-enactors. The devastating loss of human life felt on both sides along with the pivotal role victory played in the outcome of the war has secured the Battle of Gettysburg in history forever. Today 853 acres of the Gettysburg battlefields have been preserved for the future.

Beautiful day for a parade ...
The Spooner parade has become one of the biggest and most attended parades in Northwest Wisconsin. It is the fourth “performance” of the Spooner Rodeo, with many of the participants, committee members and community members. It brings the rodeo to downtown Spooner.
It is a thankless job but someone has to do it. The Spooner Youth Hockey players and t hei r par ents followed behind the horses and worked to keep the streets clean.

Five hours of heaven by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — It’s been 17 years since Mary Ann Kies spent a year of her life struggling to stay sane. “My husband Buzz had just retired from the Department of Natural Resources in Spooner after 34 years of faithful service and we were in Duluth to do one of our favorite things, square dancing. As was his habit, he ducked out for a quick run while I put on my finishing touches for the day. In a matter of less than 20 minutes’ time, my life changed irrevocably when someone found Buzz passed out on the floor. That was Feb. 11, 1996. “Because this was a vascular thing, he experienced a lack of oxygen to his brain and after being paddled back to life; my 58-year-old husband was in a coma. Three days later, I was told he would be just a vegetable, but on Feb. 17 he miraculously came out of the coma but only to suffer from serious dementia. “Seventeen years ago, the Alzheimer’s and other dementia organizations had neither the resourses nor the finances to be of much help. The Spooner respite program was just starting and offered only one day of caregiving and that one day became my five hours of heaven. I didn’t have to worry that he was walking to the DNR station to go to work, only to find someone else sitting behind his desk and that the mail in his old mail slot was for someone else. I didn’t have to concern myself with his bathing five times a day while I stood guard at the door, or Buzz asking the same question over and over and over. Now I could go grocery shopping and do the banking. I could catch up with all the things I had to do on those precious five hours, and it was wonderful.”
Frank “Buzz” Kies, in happier days when they all looked forward to an exciting future, lovingly looks upon Mary Ann Kies and daughter Kim. — Special photo Mary Ann investigated and found that Barron County was offering three days of respite care if she could get Buzz there. When she did the math she realized that she wouldn’t gain anything if she drove him the hour there and back to take him and then another hour down and back to bring him home. Finally she found a driver that would take him and pick him up and now she had four five-hour days all to herself. When you do the math, the four days only added up to 20 hours, but living with a dementia patient full time wears down the caregiver. Many of these caregivers end up with serious sleep disorders like Mary Ann did. “You are so worried about
what they might do during the night that you never really let yourself fall asleep,” she says. “Once I found Buzz dressed in four layers of clothes and carrying a package of underwear. I asked him where he was going and he looked at me as though I should know that he was on his way to the airport. Looking back, I wish I would have known to lie to him more often. I wish when he was heading out the door to walk to work I had told him that it was Saturday and it was his day off. But I didn’t and life was unbearable at times. I deeply regretted losing his companionship and all the things we had planned to do after we retired. We had both worked all of our married life, with me putting in over 40 years in the hairstyling field and I had such a hard time letting go of all of our dreams for the future.” It was on Feb. 17, one year later, while Mary Ann and Buzz were walking the track at the old civic center that Buzz collapsed with the same vascular problem that he suffered from that day in Duluth. This time he didn’t make it. Mary Ann had become a board member of the Spooner respite care, which they named Happy Days. She also occasionally volunteered for the five-hour program, serving treats when everyone got there. She would stay for the reading of the newspapers and being ready to play cards or put puzzles together or maybe going for a walk outside. She stayed through the lunchtime and then assisted people when the musicians showed up to play as everyone marched up and down the halls of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Spooner as the music played. After an afternoon treat, she helped to get everyone ready for the trip back home. Most importantly, through the years of
her own experience and years of working with others, she has some very crucial advice: • Don’t be ashamed of your loved one. • You’ve got to let go and seek help. • You cannot do this by yourself, let others help. • You need a plan to survive. The beauty of Washburn County is there is plan in place to aid anyone facing old age. Part of Plan B must include advance directives, which include a living will, power of attorney and power of attorney for finance and property. They are available several different ways. There is a website where you can print off the forms for free: dhs.wisconsin.gov/ forms/advdirectives or they are available by mail if you enclose a self-addressed envelope with your request. Mail to Power of Attorney Division of Public Health, P.O. Box 2659, Madison, WI. 53701-2659. If you’d like more personal service, Diane Neste from Spooner Health System will walk you through the papers. You can call her at 715-635-1276. If you’re confident you can do them yourself, they’re not hard to do. You may stop by the reception area at the Spooner hospital and pick them up. Business hours are from 7 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. One last word from Mary Ann, “Don’t wait to get the papers filled out. Buzz and I had done ours before the nightmare began and it saved me from an onslaught of legal wrangling.” Another reason to do this immediately before a diagnosis, according to Marilynn Benson, Washburn County probate registrar, is that, “Those who have already been officially diagnosed with dementia are no longer qualified to fill out the paperwork.”
Bugs for vets by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - A $700 donation was recently accepted by the Washburn County Veterans Service Office from Maurice and Jackie Nolden. Monday, July 8, marked the second contribution that the couple has donated to local veterans. “The monies go into a veterans assistance fund, which is used for needy veterans within Washburn County,” explained Lisa McNeally, administrative assistant for the county veterans service office. The Noldens began making ladybug lawn ornaments out of recycled cow drinking cups, scrap rolls, rebar and wire in the spring of 2011. Inspiration to give the money back to vets came to the Noldens after hearing about injured vets from Iraq and Afghanistan. “We saw a couple incidences on TV from Iraq, and Maurice goes ‘That’s what I want to do, is help those people out, ’” explained Jackie. Some farmers donate the used drinking cups that are recycled and crafted into the shell of the bug. “We have them sandblasted, and from there we prime them, we weld on them, and paint them,” said

nates the scrap metal that is used to make the head and legs of the bugs. O’Donnell is a veteran of Vietnam, and Maurice was stationed in Korea during peace time. “Now we’re on our second time around, and they are smiling when we walk in the door,” said Jackie. Last year the Noldens donated $700, making their total contributions $1,400 for Washburn County Veterans. The bugs are $40 apiece, and the couple donates all of the money to veterans service offices across the state. To date, the couple has donated to a total of 65 counties in Wisconsin. “We have donated $49,000 and made 1,700 bugs,” Jackie stated. Maurice and Jackie make the bugs themselves, but there are others that help in selling them. “People that let us display them in the restaurants help us sell them that way,” she said. “It is not a job ... we enjoy doing it.” Anyone interested in ordering or purchasing a bug can call the Noldens directly at 608-643-8484.

Area writers corner Many happy birthdays by Mary B. Olsen any people I know approach upcoming birthdays with dread. Any birthday is a kind of milestone and a reminder that we are growing older. For me, it is a time of special celebration. Growing up, in the early years there was an economic downturn referred to as the Great Depression. My parents didn’t have much money, but they would always celebrate events, and birthdays were at the top of my mother’s list as worthy of a memorable celebration. My mother fashioned birthday celebrations as if she was sewing garments. She loved to give children’s parties. She understood what made good children’s birthday parties. You needed the birthday cake and ice cream for food, and music and games children would enjoy playing. She always had simple things like balloons the kids could help blow up themselves. My brothers didn’t care to have parties. We would celebrate their birthdays with a nicely decorated cake at home. For my sister, two years younger in age, and for me, she gave parties. They were joyous occasions. I remember one party for my sister. It was a cookie-baking party. Mother made crepe paper aprons and chef hats for each guest, all girls, and I was one of them, and we all actually mixed dough in our kitchen and cut out cookies with cookie cutters. They arranged them on cookie sheets, but Mother put them in the oven. When they
M
were baked, we made frosting and frosted them. We all had a wonderful time. This is the kind of thing Mother did when she had a group of Brownies, and later Girl Scouts, for my younger sisters. Another was a surprise party at school. My mother arranged for it with the teacher ahead of time. She brought decorated cupcakes, one for every child. It was a delightful surprise to me, and the whole class enjoyed it. Mother led them in singing several songs, ending with the “Happy Birthday” song. It probably took 10 minutes out of our school day, but it was worthwhile. At that time, most mothers did not work outside the home. They were housewives. There was plenty of work to do to keep a home clean and tend a garden, and cooking was much more complicated and time consuming. Mothers baked bread. They did the laundry. This included washing clothes, hanging the clothes outdoors on a clothesline in good weather and somewhere indoors in bad weather. Most fabrics required ironing. These were necessary chores for every household. My mother also was very good at sewing clothing for our family. Getting ready for a party meant making favors and paper hats. You could make a little cone out of cardboard to hold a few pieces of candy. You could make popcorn boxes for the guests. It was nice to have something for each child to bring home after the party. I remember my mother seated at her sewing machine. She had several colors of crepe paper, which she sewed and fashioned into various hats. It was easy to work with and she could stretch it into shapes. She might say, “This

one will be an old-fashioned ladies hat.” The piece of crepe paper became a cute child-size hat. “A little boy would like this pirate hat,” and it became a pirate hat. “If there are four boys we need four hats for them. How about a policeman’s hat, a derby hat and a sailor’s hat. For a girl we can have a crown for a queen.” They came one after another like from an assembly line in only a few minutes. Soon we had a unique collection of party hats. At the party Mother would have the hats in a shopping bag, and each child could choose one he or she liked. They would put on the party hat and it was suddenly a costume, and they could pretend they were that character. Getting children to unleash their imaginations meant everyone would have a good time. I have attended dull parties, but our parties were never dull. We might have games like musical chairs or hide the thimble indoors, or outdoors we could play crack the whip or treasure hunt. We could play croquet, on the grass in summer, but our birthdays were in winter so we did winter things, mostly indoors. We had a roller-skating party once, at a local skating rink, but we came back home for the birthday cake. And the candles. We had to have the birthday person blow them out. Through the years, we did not always have birthday parties, but there was always a special cake and a quiet family celebration, and we anticipated our birthdays with pleasure. I carried on that tradition with my children.

’ve heard it said that in the winter when the weather is cold a person should read about warm and exotic places. The opposite is said about hot weather. That is when you should read stories about events taking place in cold weather. The purpose is to make us feel either warmer or cooler depending on which season you are reading about. I recently read a book where the father’s occupation was an ice cutter. The father knew that his career would be coming to an end as refrigeration was becoming popular and cutting ice on frozen lakes in the winter to supply iceboxes would come to an end. Several changes take place as ideas are birthed into being, which create convenience to us. Computers have made it easier to check out a book at the local library. With the use of electronic library cards, it is no longer necessary to have the 3x5 lined card that held information such as the title of the book, the author’s name, date the book was due and the borrower’s name stuck into a manila pocket in the back of a book. What I liked about using borrower cards was as you browsed through the library shelf and came across a book you may be interested in reading, you could look at the card to see who else had read the book. Just before converting to the barcode system in the 1990s, staff at the Frederic Public Library instructed patrons to just put their library card number on the line rather than a name. That wasn’t very interest-
ing to read since a person didn’t know someone else’s library card number. As a student, do you remember the checkout forms in textbooks? Each fall as books were handed out to be used for a particular class it was fun to see who in the grades above you had also used the same textbook. After using the book, we were always instructed to clean the book. That meant erasing any pencil marks, taking out any stray papers and making sure there were no dog-ears on the pages. Perhaps I should explain dog-ears for those that may not know what I am referring to. A dog-ear can serve as a bookmark. The ears of many breeds of dogs flop over, therefore the term dog-ear refers to the folded down corner of a book page. Even though students were not supposed to write in textbooks, there were always some that did. When it was time to turn in the used textbook, the one that was using it didn’t always erase all the writing. I remember a book where a student wrote answers on some of the pages. After reading the name of the person the book was issued to before me, I thought it was best not to use their answers. I hope you are enjoying your summer and have had the time to relax with a good book, whether it is a story about a cold and dreary place or a hot and exotic setting.

We will be having an outdoor worship service at Barronett Lutheran this coming Sunday, July 21, at 10 a.m. Unless it rains, of course. In that case it will be on the following Sunday. A potluck lunch will be served immediately following the service. If you would like to bring lawn chairs, feel free to do so. We will have folding chairs set up too. Please plan to join us for the service, lunch and fellowship. Vlad Sajka and I were chatting before church on Sunday, and, as is usually the case, I brought up a story about grandchildren. Actually, I told Vlad about the time Sanara was trying to read Braille outside the bathroom doors at a mall in the Twin Cities. He laughed, and said he had a funny experience with a little boy right here in Barronett. He was walking with his dog, using his cane for guidance, and he heard some little guys riding bikes toward him. He was going north past the Red Brick, and they were riding south past the Bistro. Well, two of them turned west before Vlad got to the corner but one was a little slower and was just turning when he was crossing the street. The little boy said, “Hi,” and Vlad said, “Hi,” back to him. He continued walking, and he heard the little guy say to his friends, “I said hi to the blind man, and he said hi back.” One of the others replied, “See, I told you he could talk.” Vlad said that he laughed about that all the way home. Members of our congregation would like to thank Dick and Ruth Grover for bringing in a bouquet of beautiful lilies to decorate the altar this past Sunday. Kathy Wiesmon’s aunt and uncle, Kurt and Sigi Kobler, came from Frankfort, Germany, to visit from June 26 -30. They flew into the Twin Cities and rented a car to drive to Cumberland. As they were driving through Cumberland, a city policeman pulled up behind them with the lights flashing. Kurt immediately pulled the car to the curb and, because they had seen so many American movies and knew all Americans had guns, they sat with their hands in plain sight - Kurt’s on the steering wheel and Sigi’s on the dash. They waited that way a long, long time while the policeman did whatever it is they do before they finally come up to the car. When he did walk up, he came to the passenger side of the car, which surprised the dickens out of them because they expected him to come to the driver’s side. Then he started talking to them and Kurt had to ask him to slow down some so that they could understand him. He did talk slower, and told Kurt that he was going 45 miles an hour, and that the speed limit in the city was only 25. Sigi said, “What city? I don’t see any city, just some houses.” There was a little more conversation, then the officer told Kurt that he wasn’t going to give him a ticket, just a warning, but that he should remember that the speed limit in the city limits is only 25. Once again Sigi said that she didn’t see any city, just houses. They went on to visit with Kathy’s parents, Dale and Ingrid Leonhardt, and had a wonderful time, but I’ll bet they were careful not to drive over 25 mph in our big “city” again. I found out something new about Leila Lehmann this week, and that is that she is very adventurous. We were at the Red Brick when she stopped by for breakfast, and
she told us about sharing a gift her son Andy got from his kids for Fathers’ Day. They gave him two gift certificates to go skydiving. Well, his wife, Laurie, didn’t want to go, so he asked Leila if she would like to try it. (I could say she jumped at the chance, but that’s a little cheesy, so I won’t.) Leila was very happy to accept his invitation, and so, on Fathers’ Day, they went to the airport over by Colfax where the gift certificates were from. Leila said that they had to take a class that lasted about an hour, and then went up in the plane. She didn’t jump alone, it was a tandem jump with an instructor. She said that she was a little nervous when they opened the hatch (or whatever you call that door they jump from) but as soon as they started falling everything was so peaceful and beautiful that she loved it and would do it again. All I can say is, “wow!” Suzy Lehmann and Donnie Albee were talking about hay a couple of weeks ago, and the subject turned to horses, cattle, etc. Then Suzy mentioned that Rambo had stepped on a nail and driven it way up into his foot, and that he wasn’t able to be outside at all. After Donnie got off the phone, he was a little worried because he hadn’t even heard that Rambo got hurt, so he called Rambo to ask how he was doing. Rambo was baffled, he had no idea what Donnie was talking about, he was out doing field work and he certainly hadn’t stepped on a nail. If you know Rambo, you probably know about how that conversation was going. Anyway, Donnie called Suzy back to tell her she was nuttier than heck, and she told him that she was talking about Miriah’s horse, Rambo, not Donnie’s nephew, Rambo. They were laughing so hard that they couldn’t even talk and finally just hung up. And by the way, Rambo the horse is doing very well now. The swelling in his leg has gone down and Miriah has been able to ride him around the corral a little bit. Duane and I had dinner at the Bistro on Wednesday and, as usual, the food and service were excellent. Before our meal came, Sharon brought out a sample of pizza that Jeno is going to have on the menu soon as an appetizer. I’ll tell you what, I have never, in my life, had pizza as good as that. Try it, I’ll bet you’ll like it. We had a wonderful time at the Spooner Rodeo this past weekend. We went all three days, and the events are so exciting. Kelly Kenney was back as announcer, and he and John Harrison, the rodeo clown, kept the banter going between events. The little mutton busters were adorable. While the little ones were hanging onto the sheep, John Harrison joked, “This is the only legalized form of child abuse in Wisconsin. Strap your kids onto a farm animal and watch them get bucked off.” Louie Herman competed in the calf roping event on Saturday evening. Even though Louie wasn’t among the money winners, he was out there giving it his best shot and we were cheering him on as loudly as possible. Better luck next time, Louie. I guess that’s about all I know from the Barronett this week. Hope to see you at the outdoor service at Barronett Lutheran on Sunday. Remember the service starts at 10 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. this time. See you later.

O
ver the last two decades, spectacular advances in technology have led to a dramatic increase in our reliance on electronic products. Televisions, computers, copiers, fax machines, telephones and VCRs are just some of the electronics that have become a central part of our everyday lives. As product innovations multiply and electronic product use increases, the lifespan of electronic equipment has shrunk. Televisions and fax machines may operate for many years, but several electronic products quickly become obsolete when newer, quicker or better equipment and software hit the shelves. Expensive products are suddenly worth little or nothing, even though we may not want to admit it. As a consumer or a business owner, the question emerges of what to do with old electronic equipment that no longer fully meets your needs. Many used televisions, monitors, printers and other types of electronic equipment are finding their fate in attics, basements and warehouses. Businesses and households keep these products because they believe that they may still be valuable, but the longer equipment remains in storage, the less useful it becomes. Electronic products often contain hazardous and toxic materials that pose environmental risks if they are landfilled or incinerated. Televisions, video and computer monitors use cathode ray tubes, which have significant amounts of lead. Printed circuit boards contain primarily plastic and copper, and most have small amounts of chromium, lead solder, nickel and zinc. In addition, many electronic products have batteries that often contain nickel, cadmium and other heavy metals. Relays and switches in electronics, especially older ones, may contain mercury. Also, capacitors in some types of older and larger equipment that are now entering the waste stream may contain polychlorinated biphenyls, commonly known as PCBs. Fortunately, Northwest Regional Planning Commission’s Northwest Cleansweep Program is providing an environmentally and economically sound alternative for disposing of electronic equipment. On Saturday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Burnett County Highway Shop near Siren, a special collection will take place along with the established hazardous waste collection event and used medication collection. Most electronic items will be accepted free of charge to residents (fee for businesses, schools and municipalities) who wish to properly dispose of unwanted electrical items. Although, TVs (any size) and computer monitors will be $20. Call Jen with questions on what is accepted, 715-635-2197. On Wednesday, Sept. 4, Birchwood and Spooner will host collections. More info to come regarding these collections soon. Reuse is the environmentally preferable option for managing older electronic equipment. Extending the life of old products minimizes the pollution and resource consumption associated with making new products. Reuse also gives people who cannot afford new products access to electronic equipment at reduced or no cost. One way to make recycling electronic products easier is to make wise purchasing decisions. Instead of buying new electronic products, consider repairing or upgrading your current system. If you decide to buy new equipment, ask the equipment manufacturer about reuse and recycling options such as product take-back programs. To promote the use of reused and recycled products, purchase equipment designed for easy repair and upgrade. Consider installing software that runs on older systems, which will enable the next user to make maximum use of an older computer. Do your share to protect our area by recycling and reusing what you can, and reduce what you “need.” Recycling makes sense economically and greatly reduces your environmental liability; it enables us to conserve valuable resources while saving valuable landfill space. Recycling greatly reduces lead emissions from incinerators, which helps to reduce air pollution. Recycling is the legally, morally and politically correct thing to do.

wo men were hunting in Africa. T As they were walking across a shaky bridge, two lions started to
chase them. Realizing they may not make it, James said, “Pray, John!” John, frightened, said, “All I can remember is: ‘Lord, make us truly grateful for what we’re about to receive.’” “Not for the lions, John, for us!” Sadly, it seems that most of the time when we call upon the Lord for his help, guidance, peace or comfort, it is when we are facing life’s biggest threats or problems. When life is pleasant and pleasurable we rarely pause to think about him or thank him for the good times. When difficulties arise and we call for help in a hurry, we may not know what to say or how to say it. If we know how to pray when the sun shines, we will know how to pray when the storm comes. Most of us have time to pray when we have major problems. We need to develop the habit of praying at all times, and soon we will discover that “God is a very present help in times of trouble.”

Local to compete at Lumberjack World Championships
by Danielle Moe Special to the Leader FREDERIC - “If it’s adrenaline pumping, I’ll do almost anything,” stated Andrew Jensen, who will be one of hundreds of competitors at this year’s Lumberjack World Championships, scheduled for July 25-27 at Hayward. A rookie to the sport, Jensen, 20, began lumberjacking this year as a summer job at Paul Bunyan’s Northwood Lumberjack Show in the Wisconsin Dells. Since the middle of the 19th century the logging industry formed towns where wilderness once stood and immortalized the men that felled the vast expanses of virgin forest. Today lumberjacks are shadows of a rougher Wisconsin, but their skills and strength are revisited in competitions and shows. Jensen, son of Wendy and Lee Jensen of Frederic, signed up for lumberjacking after his friend, Tyler Alden, was approached by Geno Cummings to be one of several athletes to start the show in the Dells at the Paul Bunyan Cook Shanty.
At age 20, in his rookie year, Andrew Jensen of Frederic will be competing at this year’s Lumberjack World Championships next week in Hayward. - Special photos
“I heard Tyler talking about that and I thought, that is a manly sport, that is definitely something I can get into,” stated Jensen. The sport soon proved to be more than Jensen expected and was the beginning of what would be anything other than a typical summer. Cummings’ show involves lumberjacks and jills performing lumberjack skills like ax throwing, logrolling and speed climbing for audiences. Cummings is a professional lumberjack, also from Frederic, and is ranked seventh in world standings. Alden and Ethan Klawitter, also from Frederic, perform in the show along with Evan Armour from Luck. The show’s lumberjills feature Taylor Duffy and Hannah Mast from Hayward, Amber Scarborough from Madison and Shana Martin. Duffy, a Hayward native, is the 2011 world champion logroller and two-time world champion boom runner. Martin is a six-time world champion logroller and two-time world champion boom runner. Working alongside these talented people, Jensen has emerged as an up-andcoming lumberjack. “Geno talked to me and he said, you know you’re getting pretty good and if you keep this up you could be able to go
to the (world championship) this year,” explained Jensen, “I was like, that would be awesome.” The LWC draws competitors from across the world and pushes their skills to the limit in timed events like sawing, chopping and logrolling. “I love the speed climb and I really enjoy the springboard chop,” stated Jensen. The speed climb event involves scrambling up a spar pole and rocketing down to the finish. “I like it a lot because I excel at it and it is one of the more adrenaline-pumping things,” he stated. Speed pole events at the LWC use 60- or 90-foottall poles and competitors use spurred climbing gear and steel-core climbing ropes to scale them. As a rookie at lumberjacking Jensen has trained his hardest to find himself in a competition of champions. “It’s definitely more than I expected getting into the sport, it is really cool,” he observed. His best performance events are the speed climbing and ax throw, and entries into both are clear-cut. Pitting his skills against other champions and hopefuls Jensen powers through a log during one of has Jensen pumped, but he has a good the shows at Paul Bunyan’s Cook Shanty in the mentor as his guide.

jack, so we all look up to him,” said Jensen. “He taught us everything we know and he is our mentor.” Andrew’s mother, Wendy, said her son has been “chasing adventure like the wind” since the day he was born. “He began downhill skiing at 18 months old, rock climbing at age 3; flying airplanes at 13, scuba diving at age 14, just to name a few of the many adventurous things he’s done over the years,” she noted. “We’ve always encouraged Andrew to live life to the fullest and that whatever he set out to do, to do it exceptionally well. His experiences as a lumberjack are no exception.” What began as a summer job in the Dells for Andrew has turned into a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity, but he is not caught up in the hype. “I think it is going to be a great experience and something I’ll look back on and remember,” he said.

Folks have been enjoying those locally grown, luscious, freshly picked strawberries. They were a little later than usual this year, and they’re so good! One can go and pick them yourself too. Got through rodeo weekend without rain even though we need some. Sue Krantz is on the committee so she was there most of the time Thursday through Saturday, except for Saturday afternoon they attended a family reunion on the Smith side, held in the Clear Lake city park, with family from Vermont to California. Her brother Jim and Vicki Smith and daughter Sara and two children are here from Georgia visiting. Sunday, they met at Bill and Jacki Smith’s on Shell Lake for a family cookout. Some from here that I heard of or saw that attended Farm Tech Days in Dallas included the Frey boys, Allan Lowe and son, David, Darlene Johnecheck, Rocky and Elaine, Russ, Roger Furchtenicht and I went. Lots of cars, tents and walking, but lots to see. Mike Wert’s daughter, Joanie, brought him to his home one day and overnight on a pass from Heritage Nursing Home. They had lunch at his mom’s, Elfreda’s, before going back. Elfreda’s daughter, Ellen Wagner, and her daughter, Madison, had visited him one other day. The Frey families camped on Little Ripley over the last weekend. This Friday evening, Jan and Jeff had her folks, the Anton Freys for supper. There were 45 folks Saturday evening that attended a Schlapper family reunion held at Lehman’s Supper Club in Rice Lake. Helen (Schlapper) Love, 94, from a St. Louis, Mo., nursing home, came for the occasion. Saturday, July 20, at the Backwoods Bar, they are having their Hawaiian luau with live music at 8 p.m. by Buffalo Allis. Sounds like a fun time. Marlene Hansen and Jack Heinze attended the Saffert family reunion held at her brother, Steve Saffert’s, in Canton with all the kids, with 50 or 60 attending. Last Tuesday, I had Bonnie Helmer of Shell Lake and her son, Jim Prom, his wife, Kerris, and their daughter, Maddie, who were visiting here for a week from Excelsior Springs, Mo., for noon lunch and a tour of Fuernot Farms. I, along with sister, Nell Lee, of Stanberry, went to South Range, to a 50th-anniversary party for our cousin, Don and Pat Correll, that was really nice. Coffee visitors during the week at my house were Mary Krantz, Mavis Schlapper, Elaine Ryan and Marlene Hansen. Sharon Goodacre of Hayward visited at Cindy Furchtenicht’s and they went to Rice Lake shopping together.

A group from Sarona Methodist Church got together for supper and then music at the Potter’s Shed Friday evening. Sam and Libby DeTrent, Dwight and Bonnie Smith, Gerry Winch and Bonnie Carlson enjoyed the wonderful evening weather and entertainment. Sam and Libby DeTrent traveled to Neillsville Saturday to the High Ground Veterans Memorial, where Libby’s cousin, Butch Jensen of Elk Mound, was honored for his service in Vietnam by the placing of a Legacy Stone during a placement ceremony. Butch’s wife, Denise, their two children, Shawan and Sherina Jenson, and Wendy and Gene Erdman and all five grandchildren also attended. Report it was a very emotional, meaningful ceremony for the several stones placed that day when over 200 families and friends joined together. Jack and Judy Stodola of Onalaska spent Wednesday and Thursday at his mom’s. Sympathy to the Dave Stodolas in the sudden death of Cathy’s brother-in-law, age 70, Woody Garrett of Exeland. Reports of a nice party for Willie Lombard at the Getaway on Saturday night in honor of his 50th birthday. Dean and Jim Schlapper and grandson, Evan, flew up from Spicewood, Texas, on Thursday until Monday morning. Friday, they visited at Fritz and Mary Mancl’s. Saturday morning, they and his mom, Mavis, went to his sister, Pam and Alden Cernocky’s, in Elk Mound for a cookout. They enjoyed playing games. Happy birthday wishes to Brett Holman, Kevin Smith and Rachel Odden on July 19; Jason Thompson, Pete Hubin, Thorin Benham, Vonna Duch, Susan Sundeen and Paul Donetell on July 20; Sue Heilborn and Merideth Hubin on July 21; Butch Schaffer, Mark West, Sandi Bednar, Jeff Wilber turns 50, and Brad Drost on July 22; Eileen Zaloudek on July 23; and Orlin Church, Chic Harrell and Cheryl Stanley on July 24.

We’ve had some beautiful sunny days with just enough rain. We can’t complain about that. The rodeo lucked out too with no rain for them. Get-well wishes to Kenny Pederson who spent a few days in the hospital but is home now. Also get-well wishes to Jim Worre who is having some health issues. Our prayers are with both of these great guys. Mary and John Marschall attended the 50th birthday at the Getaway Saturday night for Willie Lombard. Happy birthday Willie. Last Tuesday evening, we here at Glenview were treated to Swedish pancakes by Karen Ek, Nan Rounce and Shirley Gallop. Believe me, they were good. Fresh strawberries, too. You ladies can come back again. On Saturday night, Sue and Larry Winner stopped in to see me and filled me in on the Germany trip. It was the national convention of the newly installed governors. Peder Pederson was a Sunday dinner guest at daughter Cheri and Steve Minot’s for a belated birthday treat. Peder had a call from his sister, Hazel Whittler, who lives in Tampa. Hazel was the second oldest child of Peder and Margaret, next to Arvid. Birthday greetings, Peder. Visiting over the weekend with Jude and Myron Bolterman were Roy and Arveen Wellnitze of Trempeleau. They also visited the Railroad Museum in Spooner. The strawberries this year are big and very delicious. Salem Lutheran Church congregation had a meeting after church on Sunday. It was for the purpose of voting on a new pastor who will be coming later this year. We then enjoyed a potluck dinner after. Our call committee has been working very hard. Our present interim pastor is Arvid Sundet. Alyssa Degner has been helping us out as Salem Lutheran’s organist until we can find a permanent one. She does a very good job. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock at night. Have a good week.

It looks easier than it is. The games are meant to run off a little energy as much as they are meant to make Bible camp fun.

Exploring a one-room schoolhouse Spooner author and former schoolteacher Pete Hubin talked to the children and their parents about going to a oneroom schoolhouse. The Beaver Brook School, where he and his brothers atended school in the 1940s, was a quarter mile from the family farm. The school closed in 1948. In the four years he attended the one-room school, he had three teachers, Miss Nickols, Miss Cuskey and Mrs. Trumbower.
Photos by Larry Samson Shell Lake librarian Amy Stormberg reads to the children from an old reader. The book was written in a repetitive style to teach children to read by sight, such as See Dick run, run Dick run. The Shell Lake Library moved their storybook hour for the day, from the library to the Beaver Brook Schoolhouse on the Washburn County Historical Society Complex on Thursday, July 11.
Brenna Dietrich sits quietly in her desk with her book open, two pencils on her desk and her mind open to new ideas. While many things in education have changed over the years, the curiosity of the young students has not.
