Benefit for Parker family this Friday

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — This Friday, Aug. 16, make time for an enjoyable evening at the Shell Lake beach that will help a local family in their time of need. This event is an attempt to bring comfort to the wife and stepchildren of Shell Lake resident Joseph Parker who passed away in his home due to carbon monoxide poisoning on July 16.

From 4-9 p.m., community members are invited for a night of food and fun. The event will include a silent auction and a paddle party raffle. “We have a live DJ who is donating his time and the music,” said Dawn Eiche. Eiche and Krys Robinson have been hard at work organizing the event for the family. “I have put fliers up everywhere to draw people in, it is for everyone,” she stated.

Donations from local businesses have made the raffle and silent auction possible, collecting a total of 25 different items for the raffle Russel Kelley of Shell Lake was out among other donations.

The last Town and Country Days?

Lack of volunteer assistance threatens 35-year-old festival

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — “I think we are just at this point where we need new people,” stated Tammy Fulton, co-chair of Shell Lake’s Town and Country Days. This year marks the festival’s 35th year and Fulton, like many on the board, is burnt out.

Five years ago Fulton inadvertently became chair of the festival. “I actually joined thinking I was chairing one event, until I was dropped off the whole box and the checkbook … that’s when I said, ‘Debbie you’re coming with me,’”

explained Fulton laughing. Debbie Allen, Fulton’s sister, now shares responsibilities with Fulton as co-chair. Becka Cusick has been co-chair for past three years “I’m not ready to quit yet,” said Allen stoically, who has taken on several additional responsibilities over the years, like many of the chairs.

Eight of the chair members have contributed to 36 years of service. The current chairs are people that have stepped forward over the years when an event was previously threatened to be lost.

This year there will be no spelling bee due to the lack of a chair for the event, and the kickball tournament was not scheduled to occur for the same reason. When Dan Kevan found out that there was no kickball tournament scheduled,

Setting the record straight

Shannon Parker talks about the evening when carbon monoxide claimed the life of her husband

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - “He always used to say, ‘I would die for any one of you.’ That is what he told me and my kids,” said Shannon Parker tearfully. “We never dreamed it was going to be true.”

Joseph Parker, loving husband and stepfather, succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning on Tuesday, July 16.

Unable to pay their electric bill, Joseph hooked up a generator in the family’s basement in order to power the air-conditioning unit in a bedroom the family would sleep in together. The temperature on that midsummer night was in the 80s, with 70-percent humidity, pushing the heat index to 95 degrees.

“He put the generator in the basement and piped it out the best he could,” explained Shannon. “And even the investigators said he had it almost perfect.” Nevertheless, a small leak allowed CO fumes to escape into the home. Levels were approximately 800 parts per million at the top of the basement stairs. “One could assume that the basement was much higher, probably double the parts per million,” said Sheriff Terry Dryden in a statement on the accident.

A benefit for the family will be on Friday, Aug. 16, from 4-9 p.m. — Special photo Normal levels of CO in homes vary from 0.5 ppm to 15 ppm but at higher concentrations, CO exposure can be fatal.

According to her daughters, Shannon said Joseph got out of bed on the night of July 15 to check the generator because the air-conditioning unit had shut off. When he did not return to bed

Saxophone camp held at SLAC

The arts center is family for many people in the community, as the master teachers return each year to teach.

Dr. Cameron Hofman with his wife, Kelly, and their little boy, Simon, are part of that family of friends. His music, family and teaching are his passions in life. He teaches at Baylor University in Texas and at the Shell Lake Arts Center.

Virginia and Clarke Crandell perform a saxophone duet at the saxophone workshop concert on Tuesday, Aug. 6. The husband-and-wife team are from Stevens Point. He was at one time the oldest camper, but for the last eight years he has been on the faculty at the arts center.

Life of a killdeer

by Larry Samson Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — While the killdeer is considered a shoreline bird, they often inhabit inland short grassy areas where they hunt for insects. They like lawns, pastures and meadows, spending much of the day and into the night feeding.

They like to run in short jerky dashes, stop and look to see if they scared up any insects and then repeat the process.

Killdeer migrate to the warm southern region for the winters and return north for the breeding season. They have their

nest on the ground and are very good at camouflaging the exposed nest. Killdeer can be identified by the peculiar way they defend their nest. As a predator approaches the nest, the mother will distract the predator with a fake injury and lead them away from the nest and then fly away at the last second. This unique defense works and has served the killdeer well as they are common.

Another way to identify this strange bird is by the sound they make, kill-dee or dee-dee-dee is how it is described.

They are a fun bird to watch as they return to the same area year after year.

Steve Stusek and Darrell Aderman sat and talked before the concert.

Stusek had been a camper at Shell Lake 37 years ago when he came here as a freshman in high school. The arts center and Shell Lake has been his second home since those first years.

City to foot initial costs of $2.5 million project

Will not seek funding for ATV campground

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Council members approved a resolution at their regular monthly meeting Monday, Aug. 12, allowing the city to help foot portions of the $2.5 million water and sewer project.

In turn, the council approved four bids to get the ball rolling on improvement projects, among other agenda items.

The resolution declaring the city’s intent to foot portions of the water and wastewater improvement project occurred due to the probability that the city will not have project funding in time.

A portion of the resolution explains, “ … because proceeds of the debt which will provide project financing will not become available prior to commencement of the project, the city may need to provide interim financing to cover costs of the project incurred prior to receipt of the

County custodian to gravely ill child Approves 2014 projected budget

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - During the Washburn County Health and Human Services committee meeting on Monday, Aug. 12, Joan Wilson, social work supervisor, reported that the county is handling a unique social services situation. The county is acting as legal custodians for a gravely ill child.

“Her family is no longer involved, this child does not have a support system,” stated Lori Bina, HHSD director. According to Wilson the child will need to undergo surgery due to the illness. “We are treating it as if it were my own child … giving her every possible chance,” stated Wilson.

The Washburn County Health and Human Services approved the 2014 projected budget. $901,067 in revenue decreases are projected for HHSD in 2014.

According to Debbie Tubbs, county fiscal supervisor, the revenue decreases are due to the children’s long-term support waiver revenue not passing through the county budget and a reduction in the county indirect costs compared to years past. Tubbs explained indirect costs as expenses that cover the operating departments of the county, building use, equipment maintenance, administrative and related expenses.

No services will be affected by the budget decreases, and CLTS services will still be provided. “The CLTS revenues and expenses just don’t pass through the county,” explained Tubbs in an email.

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - “From how built up it is around the lake we are really surprised at how well-kept the shoreline is,” stated Cory Stoughtenger, a University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point student.

Stoughtenger, with fellow student Chase Kasmerchak, conducted a shoreline inventory of Shell Lake, which they completed on Wednesday, Aug. 7.

The survey assessed the number of natural-state shorelines as opposed to maintained shorelines.

“That is what we were impressed with, how many people have natural-state shorelines for how many people live on the lake,” explained Kasmerchak.

Stoughtenger and Kasmerchak work for the Center for Watershed Science and Education through UWSP. Stoughtenger will be graduating in December with a water resources major, while Kasmerchak will graduate in May with a double major in geoscience and geography. John Haack, regional resources educator with the Spooner UW-Extension office, suggested the city contract with UWSP for the inventory.

According to Dave Vold, the city’s lake

loan or other debt proceeds.”

The principal amount of the loan is not expected to exceed $2.5 million.

“It is not binding; it is not saying you have to spend that much money … that number just needs to be bigger than what you end up reimbursing yourselves for,” pointed out Teresa Anderson, project engineer from MSA Professional Services.

Resurfacing project The council approved three contractor bids to start the Old CTH B resurfacing project.

Madison Construction will be supplying and delivering the road gravel at $10.74 a yard. Washburn County Highway Department will complete the pulverizing at 45 cents a square yard, and the shouldering at $25 a cubic yard. Monarch Paving will pave at $60.76 a ton. The cost of the project to the city was stated to be approximately $39,011, the Town of Bashaw’s portion was stated as $13,000.

“It will be based on final quantities, too,” observed Bradley Pederson, city administrator.

Scott Construction was the low bidder on the city’s chip-sealing project at $1.448 per square yard. The project area is from Becky’s north to Hwy. 63, “then as much as we can do on Second Street,” explained Pederson.

Council members authorized the city to submit a Community Development Block Grant application to finance the interceptor sewer and wastewater screen

improvements.

Removal of vegetation Andy Eiche and Brent Edlin were the only council members to vote against the removal of woody vegetation in the buffer zone located between the city beach and the city campground. Members of the parks and recreation committee suggested the removal of the cottonwoods in the buffer during their annual tour of facilities in June. “By removing the woody vegetation, you are going to promote sedges and grasses,” stated Dan Harrington. A section of cottonwoods will remain in place to maintain the buffer between the campground and the beach.

City won’t seek funding Council members voted to not apply for grant funding that would be used to build an ATV campground on existing city land. Originally, the city looked into building the ATV campground due to the probability of receiving 100-percent grant funding for the project. It was recently discovered that the funding is no longer an option, “but there is an 80/20 funding, 80 state, 20 local, on a stewardship-type grant that is available,” stated Pederson.

The number of city projects that are slated for city crews to complete was one of the factors that brought the council’s opinion against the funding option.

Golf cart usage Emotions ran high during discussion

on the possibility for the city to amend its ATV ordinance to allow golf carts to operate on city streets.

“I have a 91-year-old father that drives, but he actually prefers his mobility scooter,” said Mayor Sally Peterson, “which is a lot more dangerous than a golf cart.”

A major concern with the amendment for some council members was over the lack of headlights and brake lights on golf carts for possible night driving. Despite city police Chief Dave Wilson’s assurance that he does not consider it an enforcement issue, regardless if the city approved the amendment or not, several council members stood apposed to it.

“There is, at the moment, about a half a dozen citizens that wish to take part in this type of activity,” reported Wilson.

The amendment failed on a 4-3 vote.

Planting of trees The council approved the purchase and planting of seven trees on city property.

Three northwood maple trees, and three snow crab apple trees will be planted in the park. One snow crab apple tree will be planted in the open area in front of Hearts of Gold on Main Street. Caleb Johnson, of Northwoods Transplanting and Landscaping, will plant the trees.

The cost of each tree is estimated at $400 apiece. The city budgeted $1,300 for trees in the general fund, and it still has $1,000 in grant funding available to finance the project.

“I originally contacted Tammy (Fulton) about the kickball tournament because I had some questions about it, and then I found out there was not going to be a kickball tournament, so I said I would do it,” stated Kevan.

According to Fulton and the festival board, people like Kevan are the individuals that Town and Country Days needs, if it is going to survive. “With the

same eight, 10 of us, we run around like our heads are cut off,” stated Fulton. “We are in desperate, desperate need of volunteers.” Fulton estimates that 50 volunteers helped out last year, but they really need 90 to 100 volunteers to handle all of the events that take place over the weekend. Volunteers needed this year include people to help with the cooking, food sales, admission sales and other miscellaneous jobs at different events.

Shoreline inventory completed

Cory Stoughtenger and Chase Kasmerchak conducted the shoreline inventory of Shell Lake last week. The students, from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, were pleasantly surprised with the state of Shell Lake’s shoreline, despite how much development is on the lake.

- Photo by Danielle Moe coordinator, the survey was conducted to satisfy conditions of the permit used to install the diversion project. “In other words when we put in the diversion proj-

ect we agreed to do certain monitoring of the lake,” explained Vold, including shoreline studies.

Due to excellent weather, the students

Anyone interested in volunteering or helping with this year’s Town and Country Days is invited to the meetings on Tuesdays, Aug. 20 and Aug. 27. Or call Tammy Fulton at 715-468-7289 or email her at tammyfulton09@yahoo.com to see when and how you can help make Town and Country Days a success.

and volunteers completed the fieldwork portion of the survey in a day and a half.

Rob and Linda Anderson and Dan Harrington volunteered their pontoons and time to help conduct the survey with the students and Vold, who also helped conduct the survey.

“We did a shoreline vegetation survey for above the ordinary high-water mark and below the ordinary high-water mark,” explained Kasmerchak. Human development along the shoreline was also a part of the survey including docks, boat landings, beaches and erosion.

A second trip around the lake was used to take photos of the shoreline with a camera equipped with GPS. Each photo that was taken was GEO tagged with a location that is used in the cross-checking process. “We use that back when we go in and put the maps together, and doublecheck everything to make sure everything is as it should be,” explained Stoughtenger.

Once the data is complete UWSP will send the results to the city. “It is pretty well up to the city how they want to use that information,” stated Vold.

Shell Lake is currently 4-1/2 feet below the normal high-water mark.

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over We know them, we see them and perhaps we’ve even been one of them.

Drunken drivers come from all walks of life, but they do have one thing in common. They’ve made one of the most dangerous and irresponsible decisions an operator of a potentially lethal weapon can make.

Last year, 223 people died and nearly 3,000 were injured in alcohol-related crashes in Wisconsin. Many of them were innocent victims who were killed or injured by a drunken driver.

To help combat drunken driving, Shell Lake Police officers will be out in force from Friday, Aug. 16, to Monday, Sept. 2, which includes the Labor Day weekend,

for the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

Drunken driving is entirely preventable. So we urge you to use a designated driver or find another way home if you’re impaired. The Zero In Wisconsin traffic safety initiative also offers a free Drive Sober mobile app that can be downloaded by visiting zeroinwisconsin.gov.

During this crackdown on drunken drivers and throughout the year, we are serious when we say, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”

David M. Wilson Shell Lake chief of police

Abuse of power

What we have going in the United States is an abuse of power by the executive branch of government. Over the course of most of its history, the nation has functioned under the rule of law. Those laws were developed and passed by representatives of the citizens and were enforced by the executive branch. Today’s executive decides which laws it wishes to enforce, which it wishes to ignore and which it wishes to violate. This behavior by the president and other executive officials is a violation of their oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution and to enforce all laws passed there under. Over the past year, President Obama has taken actions in violation of the rule of law. Four such actions are as follows: 1. Obama gave waivers to some states so that they would not have to meet the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act. 2. Obama granted amnesty to illegal immigrants if they were brought into this country as children.

3. Obama postponed the employer mandate of Obamacare so that employers would not have to meet the requirements of the law to provide insurance for their employees or pay a penalty.

4. Obama exempted the members of Congress and their staffs from rules of Obamacare, which required them to be treated the same as an ordinary citizen.

He did this by asking the Office of Personnel Management to write special rules for the members of Congress and their

staffs allowing them to have more of their premiums paid or in fact to stay in their current health plans.

The president did not have authority to disregard these laws and impose his own wishes. Nothing in the laws allowed him to take these actions. Whether what he implemented was good or bad for the country is immaterial. The proper procedure was to ask Congress for the changes, then sign the amended laws. I believe Obama took these actions because he believed he could get away with it and it would be good politically for him. It looks like with every decision he makes, the political implications are the main consideration. Congress had better call him on this and insist that this dictating stop.

It is too bad that the gutless wonders that we have elected to sit in the House and Senate are too timid to make an issue of this. Perhaps regarding their exemption from Obamacare they regard themselves as being above the rest of us and entitled to better health care. Congress had better act. It won’t be long before their impotence turns to irrelevance.

Soon after adopting the U.S. Constitution, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what kind of government they had established. Franklin answered, “A Republic if you can keep it.” It is apparent to me that we are not keeping it.

Water resources versus Penokee mine project The Penokee Range mining project is designed to be an open-pit mine. There is no debate that this type of mining will result in permanent changes to the landscape. If images of open pit mines coming from Michigan and Minnesota aren’t bothersome, consider the fact that the Penokee Range site will, without any doubt, impact water resources far beyond northern Wisconsin. Let me explain how.

The Penokee Range mining operation has an elevation of 2,000 feet. It has over 200 inches of snow a year. As such, this area makes up the headwaters (the source) of drinking water, both surface and groundwater, for the municipalities of Ashland, Mellen, Highbridge, Merengo, Odanah and Upson. Contaminants from the Penokee Range will have a significant impact on the water resources downstream, including Bad River, the Kakago/Bad river sloughs and finally Lake Superior. Lake Superior is the largest fresh body of water in the world.

Older mines followed iron-rich veins and were accessible by building shafts.

Open-pit mines remove all the rock on top of the taconite. This waste rock contains compounds like iron pyrite, which when combined with rainwater will pro-

duce sulfuric acid which can then leach mercury and other heavy metals from the surrounding minerals. Since the processing of taconite will require a tremendous amount of water, many questions need to be answered if we are to make informed decisions about this mine.

How much (actual) water will be used by this mine, where will it come from and how will it be returned to the system?

What impact will this mine have on surface and groundwater?

What minerals/chemicals will be leached from the exposed rock, including waste/tailings, how will this be contained/prevented from reaching surface and ground water and how will it be treated?

Where will the toxic slurry of sulfuric acid and heavy metals be disposed of after the taconite is concentrated and treated with lime?

How will this impact native as well as endangered species?

Are there questions you have which need answers?

“Ghost Visit 2013” takes place Aug. 19

by Mary B. Olsen Special to the Register SHELL LAKE — For the sixth year, a play to present in dramatic form the life stories of actual people who lived in and around Washburn County will be performed in the pavilion at the lakeside park at Shell Lake. Unlike the ghost walks through cemeteries where people stand at gravesites and interpret the lives of the people who once lived, this ghost visit brings the people of the past to the audience. Local volunteer actors will tell the stories of folks who made significant contributions to their communities. They are all busy people willing to give their time and talent. The play is sponsored by the Washburn County Historical Society and is written by Mary Olsen. Anyone who wants to learn a bit of local history can come and listen to their stories.

The people brought back for this appearance who are portrayed are four gentlemen: Joe Barta, the wood-carver who created the Museum of Woodcarv-

ing in Shell Lake; Ken Schricker, farmer, railroad engineer and Washburn County Representative, Dr. Dale Moen, physician, of Shell Lake; Bill Stewart, owner of the Spooner Advocate; and three ladies: Harriet Durand, a teacher and writer; Dorothy Tetzlaff, the Spooner librarian; and Marie Coquilette, a personable woman involved in many community activities, known for many years for playing Santa Claus.

Larry Samson will take the part of Joe Barta; Rep. Steven Smith will portray Ken Schricker; June Willis will act as Dorothy Tetzlaff; Nancy Rich takes the part of Harriet Durand; Ernie Buhler will portray Bill Stewart; the Rev. Jack Starr will play Dr. Moen and Jennifer Edlin will play Marie Coquilette. Music will be performed by Mary Roeschler.

The play will take place Monday evening, Aug. 19, at 7 p.m. Admission is free. Bring lawn chairs. Be present to hear about the lives of people in Shell Lake’s past.

Sale for Tails success story SPOONER — The Washburn County Area Humane Society’s Sale for Tails Thrift Sale held last week at the Washburn County Fairgrounds was a huge fundraising success for the local animal shelter. The shelter is located just around the corner from the fairgrounds on the south end of Spooner.

Lots people were involved, from donators of sale items, sale workers, and the sale shoppers. This was the largest profit seen in the many years of hosting this annual thrift sale, so approximately $3,000

will go to the shelter. Because the need for an animal shelter does not diminish, fundraising is an ongoing effort, and the money from each fundraising event always stays at this local shelter.

It can never be stated enough how pleasantly surprised and very thankful the volunteers, shelter employees and the animals are for the very generous people who are so supportive of this charity. This thrift sale was a tail-wagger of a success. — from WCAHS

Over $1.9 million in housing rehab funds available

SPOONER — The Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Housing, has awarded the Northwest Regional Housing Program $1,933,000 in Community Development Block Grant housing funds. The CDBG housing rehabilitation funds will be available to qualifying applicants to make necessary repairs to owner- and renter-occupied housing units and to provide down-payment assistance to qualifying families purchasing a home.

The Northwest Regional Housing Pro-

gram area is represented by the counties of Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Rusk, Sawyer and Washburn.

Funds will be available to income-eligible clients throughout the nine counties for housing repairs or replacement of windows, exterior doors, shingles, siding, insulation, furnaces, wiring, plumbing, water and sewer laterals, failing septic systems and other major home repairs.

Owner-occupied housing repair funds are available through a zero-percent inter-

est, deferred-payment loan, while renteroccupied housing repair funds are in the form of a 0- to 3-percent-interest loan with a monthly payment plan over a 10-year term.

Eligible families who are renting could access zero-percent interest, deferredpayment loans to assist in the purchase of a home. Funds may be used for select closing costs and up to 50 percent of a reasonable down payment for the purchase of a home by qualifying applicants.

The down payment assistance program requires a 50-percent match by the applicant.

The Northwest Regional Planning Commission, based in Spooner, is administering the regional housing program.

To determine if you may qualify and to get an application, please contact Bonnie Carlson, housing development specialist, at 715-635-2197. More information is available at nwrpc.com. — from NWRCP

They’ve performed countless shows across the Upper Midwest and released their first recording in the fall of 2010.

Spooner Health System recognized for effective IT use SPOONER — For the fifth time, Spooner Health System has been recognized as one of the nation’s Most Wired facilities according to the results of the 2013 Most Wired Survey released in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine.

SHS was also recognized as a Most Wired organization in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012.

Health Care’s Most Wired Survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, asked hospitals and health systems nationwide to answer questions regarding their information technology initiatives.

Respondents completed 659 surveys, representing 1,713 hospitals, or roughly 30 percent of all U.S. hospitals.

“This year’s Most Wired organizations exemplify progress through innovation,” said Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association. “The hospital field can learn from these outstanding organizations ways that IT can help to improve efficiency.”

“We’ve used our electronic medical record to successfully meet the firststage guidelines of meaningful use,”

explained Mike DiPasquale, IT director of SHS. Meaningful use is the latest federal guidelines related to the use of the electronic record in health care. The goal of meaningful use is to improve health care in the United States by using technology

in a meaningful manner that will offer more complete and accurate information as well as better access to information.

Many organizations have very good hardware/software technology but the focus of the Most Wired Award is how well the facility uses the technology throughout the organization in all of the departments. In other words, it really looks at how well the departments are wired together using their technology.

“We are honored to receive the Most Wired Award five times,” said Mike Schafer, CEO of SHS. “We do have a great IT department and they obviously play an integral role. I also personally appreciate each of our employees who are committed to providing the high quality, safe care our patients deserve.”

“As I have said in the past, the IT department was the vehicle,” said DiPasquale, “but it really takes all of the employees at Spooner Health System working together to attain an achievement like this. I’m proud to be part of an organization that values technology and

DiPasquale was invited to be a feature speaker at the Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative Forum this past spring honoring SHS for winning the Most Wired Award several times and questioning him on how SHS has achieved their success in using technology throughout the organization.

The Most Wired Survey is conducted annually by H&HN magazine, the journal of the American Hospital Association, which uses the results to name the top Most Wired hospitals and health systems in the United States. It focuses on how the nation’s hospitals use information technologies to improve patient documentation, advance clinical decision support and evidence-based protocols, reduce the likelihood of medication errors, and rapidly restore access to data in the case of a disaster or outage.

The duo is into dirt

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — John and Jackie Maher both grew up in St. Paul, Minn. They met and married there and had all of their four children in the city. She’s worked for a printing company for the past 16 years and he was working 90 hours a week as a computer programmer. Life was good until the bottom dropped out during the last economic downturn.

His company downsized and he was out. Workers in India are slowly absorbing her company and now she’s only working weekends.

In 2002, the couple made a gigantic and daring change regarding their future.

They took a leap of faith and moved to Washburn County to help John’s mom and grandmother after the death of his grandpa. Jackie had been raised with a big garden as a child. There was plenty of room to grow a few vegetables at Grandma’s, so even before they moved the following year, they got their hands dirty and put in a garden. It has grown in size to an acre and a half, year by year, and now it takes over their summer months just like their schooling does during the rest of the year.

John is going to UW-River Falls for a degree in computer science, economics and math. Jackie will gain her degree at the same college in horticulture with minors in art and biology. The two youngest of their four children also go to high school in River Falls because it saves time. They have a son at UW-Madison and a son that wanted to stay in the Twin Cities to finish out his schooling.

If you visit their farm at 24591 County Line Road you will find that the road certainly does run between Washburn and Burnett counties on Hwy. 70. You will see their huge garden that boasts tomatoes, corn, melons, squash, pumpkins and lots of green beans. You can also find snow peas, beets, onions, carrots and leeks, not to be outdone by their brussels sprouts, cabbage, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, po-

Joining his parents, son Dorin Maher helps pick cucumbers for a special bulk order and is an intricate part of the operation.

When the July 2001 tornado went through the farmyard, it took the large machine shed with it. Now the site is planted in basil, mint, garlic, lavender, rosemary, sage, oregano and lemon balm.

But they’re not stopping there. They already have a 7- to 10-year plan that will include a very large apple orchard and 2,000 grapevines. They’re also thinking cherries and pears along with an exciting soft-fruit plot that will add 750 shrub fruits to their holding. The exact plants are still a secret but they plan to use them in their one-day commercial kitchen for the making of jellies, shrubs and wine. There are already 1,000 raspberry plants thriving with 500 more yet to be planted. Until the day they have their own operation, Jackie faithfully processes everything that doesn’t sell at

the market so the family of six will be eating well each winter.

Yes, the plans for their future as market gardeners are huge, but this family is growing their business slowly by building year by year until they attain their goal without going broke. “We want to eventually have an on-site full market garden and we want it to be a fun place to visit,” says John. “We not only want to set up our total operation out here with self-pick or farm stand sales, but we think it would be nice to add other things like hayrides and pumpkin activities, but those plans are really far down the line.”

For now you can find this dynamic duo at the Shell Lake Farmers Market every Tuesday and Friday from 2-6 p.m. as they bring their truck laden with fresh-picked produce and set up in the south parking

lot along Hwy. 63. They’re joined by Rick and Dawn Swan who also market garden and then there’s the truck full of plants and flowers, and no one could forget “the kettle corn guy.” The market is starting to thrive and the Swans, who are the market managers again this year, want to invite anyone to come and sell. Crafts and vendors are more than welcome and the market will run as long as there are products to sell. Call Dawn for information on fees at 715-468-7836. You can call Jackie at 715-645-0996 to arrange for bulk buying or to order products for them to bring to the market, or to see when a good time would be for you to go directly into their garden and pick what you need.

Medieval Mayhem for local Cub Scouts Bryce Talberg of Minong Pack 97 was making a pouch for his pocketknife that his father, Curt, had given him. They were in Shell Lake for the Medieval Day Camp on Saturday, Aug. 10. The event was sponsored by the Blue Hills District Cub Scouts Chippewa Valley Council. It brought in Scouts from around the area.

Loomis wins WSGA Wisconsin State Junior Golf Championship

Owen Dernovsek, Ella Tack and Gabe Lindeberg are enjoying turning their teacher, Katherine Schiedermayer, into a human sundae. Of the four Totus Tuus teachers at the weeklong ministry camp, she was the one voted to be the human sundae. Totus tuus is a Lation phrase meaning “totally yours.”

Garrett Loomis, grandson of Jim and Dianne Loomis, Shell Lake, and the son of Bill and Shelly Loomis, River Falls, won the WSGA Wisconsin State Junior Golf Championship at Nakoma Golf Course in Madison. Previous winners of this tournament have been well-known pros like Steve Stricker and Mark Wilson, currently on the PGA Tour. Loomis shot a 5-over-par 215 to win, Wednesday, Aug. 7. He also won the longest-drive contest by hitting the ball 346 yards. He will be a senior this coming school year at River Falls High School.

Ella Folstad is becoming a proficient archer with the help of her father, Joel. The Indianhead Rifle and Pistol Club held its 24th-annual Family Range Day on Sunday, Aug. 11, at its rifle range north of Spooner. The IRPC Family Range Day is a fun family event that is free and open to the public.

Are you ready for football?

by Larry Samson Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake football season started on Monday, Aug. 5, when the players reported to camp. Shell Lake will field a team of 21 players with six returning seniors. Senior Sam Livingston will be back for his second year as quarterback, sharing the duties with junior Dylan Sandwick. Helping in the backfield will be three returning veterans, Andrew Larson, Tanner Williams and Sam Muska. Senior David Brereton will back at wide receiver and defensive end.

The Lakers have four returning linemen: Jesse Sibert, Beau Skluzacek, Trevor Anderson and Drew Johnson. They will be augmented by freshmen Ben Frey and Dominic Hopke. Sophomore Zach Melton, freshmen James Crawford and Luke Pokorny will find themselves filling in positions on the defense.

Mark Lehnherr will be returning for his eighth year as head coach, heading up a coaching staff with a wealth of experience.

Assistant coach Joe Johnson is back to run the offense. He has been with the team since 2002. Assistant Jim Herman brings with him a wealth of information with 37 years’ experience as head coach at Forest Lake, Minn., and as assistant coach at Shell Lake. Assistant coach Ryan O’Connell has been helping out with the line. He is a former player from Regis High School.

Fans will be able to see the Lakers in action when they travel to Clayton on Friday, Aug. 16, to play in a scrimmage at 5 p.m. Their first game of the season will

be on Friday, Aug. 23, when they travel to play Division 5 Phillips High School in a nonconference game. Phillips is in the Marawood Conference, and this will be the first time these two teams have played against each other Shell Lake will be moving from the Lakeland North Conference to the Lakeland South Conference this year. In addition to the familiar teams they have played before, Turtle Lake, Clayton and Clear Lake, they will be playing Lake Holcombe/Cornel, Elmwood/Plum City and Pepin/Alma.

There has been a constant reshuffling of the Lakeland Conference since the introduction of eight-man football several years ago, but with the move to the Lakeland South, Shell Lake will be playing schools that are about the same size.

Area writers corner Cows in town

Stop by. See the cows and try some cheese curds, Colby, Cheddar, Gouda or any other favorites. It’s good food to put in your cooler on your way to Washburn County, Bayfield and all that we call “Up North.”

by Sylvia Oberle Have you ever seen a purple cow? “I’d rather see than be one,” says the Ogden Nash-type rhyme. Well, you can see a purple cow if you visit Thorp. Twelve life-sized, colorful cows have been placed in the parks at various spots of interest around town. The new bovine figures are a reminder of the culture and ethnic background of the people in this area.

The purple cow called “the flower cow” welcomes visitors as they drive into town from Hwy. 29. You are invited to find all 12. Join the fun and visit the cheese cow, pumpkin fest cow, Polish cow and others.

Agriculture is one of the state’s largest industries employing one out of every eight people and bringing in about $25 billion to the economy. The many changes in farming in recent years add to this fact. It is my hope that cows will be treated well even as farms grow larger.

While nearby, a neighbor’s cows Are tied to their stalls, Never let free in the summer air Nor washed with soft rainwater, Mother Nature’s best care.

s children, we may have been encouraged to save money. We would place our pennies, nickels, perhaps dimes and quarters into a container for safekeeping until we had enough in the container to take to the bank in town where we could possibly earn interest on our investment.

For some reason, most individual saving containers are referred to as piggy banks. I don’t recall ever having a bank shaped like a pig. My grandpa did. Even though it probably was 16-18 inches high, it seemed larger and was made of blue plastic. Because it was filled with coins it was heavy. The pig was in a sitting position and the coins would be fed into a slot on the back of its neck. There was no way to remove coins without cutting into the pig. Even though commercials will show a person breaking a ceramic piggy bank to remove money, the ones I have seen have a little round rubber stopper in the bottom of them.

The only bank to save my coins that I remember is a 4” wide by 2-1/2” high, chrome-plated container with a red-and-white logo saying Farmers State Bank, Frederic, Wisconsin. Bremer Bank is the name of the bank now. My special savings bank for change has a hinged, jagged trapdoor that slides back to insert coins and doesn’t allow coins to fall back out. To take money out, the bottom could be removed with a small key. I don’t remember ever seeing the key. If I wanted to remove coins, I

figured out that by holding back the metal over the slot just right with a butter knife and shaking the bank so that the coins would stand on edge, they would drop through the small opening. It was work, Shown is Suzanne’s first bank. time-consuming, — Photo by Suzanne Johnson and took some patience to get money back out.

As a 4-year-old, my granddaughter Adalyn enjoys putting money into her piggy bank. At this point she hasn’t had a reason to take money back out. After both Adalyn and grandson Cole, 2, received $1 each in a card, she was excited to put the money into her bank. She advised Cole that he should do the same.

Whether a child has a ceramic piggy bank, a firefighter bear bank such as Cole’s, or just a Mason jar, teaching children to save some of their dollars and cents is an important lesson in my opinion.

The congregation of Barronett Lutheran extends gratitude to Shirley Overvig for providing accordion music for our worship service Sunday morning.

The outdoor worship service and potluck dinner at Barronett Lutheran Church will be held this Sunday, Aug. 18. The worship service will start at 10 a.m., and the potluck dinner will be served immediately after the service. We will also be welcoming new members that morning. I’ve probably said this a couple of times before, but if you are not already a member of an area church and are looking for a new church to attend, why not stop

by Sunday morning and meet our congregation. Pastor Todd is an excellent minister, we’re a friendly bunch, and, besides all that, we are really good cooks. Hope to see you Sunday morning.

The Wiesner family and friends reunion will be held Sunday, Aug. 18, starting at noon and running until whenever everyone decides to go home. The reunion will be held at the Wiesner Chapel on CTH V. Guests are asked to bring their appetites and a dish to pass. If you have any stories to tell about growing up in the Wiesner family, or as friends of the family, I’m sure they would be greatly appreciated. Come, join us, and be prepared to laugh a lot and have lots of fun.

Did you get a letter in the mail about a new book titled “Hobos and Swimming Holes”? Terry Goodrich called and said that there are stories in the book from three or four people from this area, Terry being one of them. He said that he sent in a few stories that the editors included in the book. Whether or not you remember the time before indoor plumbing and electricity were taken for granted around here, the stories in the book should be very entertaining. I think there are still a quite a few of us around who remember pumping water to bring into the house. It wasn’t so bad in the summer, but those old iron pump handles were really cold in the winter. Ah yes, the “good old days.”

The big news here in Barronett is that two - count them,

two - new families moved in during the weekend. Becky Zappetillo and her two children, Miranda and Austin, moved into the duplex vacated by Jody Sampson. And, Brooke Skille and Jake Stauffer and their little girl, Skyler, moved into the house right across the street from there that had been empty for over a year. If you get a chance, please be sure to welcome the newcomers to our town.

Jody Sampson moved from Barronett to her newly built home by Lake Vermillion. Jody’s daughter and granddaughter, Erica and Katherine, will be visiting her for about two more weeks while Erica is studying medicine at the medical clinic in Barron. Jody is thrilled with her new home and we wish her many years of happiness there.

Anitia Lehmann is doing very well again, and is able to get out and about with friends a little more often. She and Marguerite Anderson went to the casino for the lunch buffet last Wednesday, had a very nice time eating and visiting, and even ran into other friends to chat with.

Then, on Friday, she and Don and Pat and DeEtte Fankhauser went to the Rolling Oaks in Barron for supper. Anitia said that they called ahead to make reservations, and they were really glad they did because the place was packed. Tinille was working that evening and she had a place all set for them when they arrived, but she was so busy that she didn’t have much time to visit with them. Anitia said that they didn’t have to wait too long for the food, it was delicious, and that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Don’s sister, Betty, and her friend, Gene, were there that evening too, and they visited with them for a while.

You know, Justin Olson bought the Rolling Oaks from his grandma, Pat, last month, and he seems to be doing very well there. He had been working with Pat for a few years, and picked up a wealth of information on running a restaurant from her. Pat’s still going in to help out quite a bit, but it’s about time she slows down a bit and takes some time for herself. Maybe we’ll be able to take a

couple of road trips this year - hopefully.

Oh, and speaking of the Reichhoff family, I have been getting some greeting cards from Leanne lately. She makes beautiful cards, you know, the scrapbooking kind, and I almost feel like I’m giving someone a gift instead of just a card. They are so pretty.

Vlad Sajka, John Forrestal, Duane and I had breakfast at the Red Brick on Sunday morning. Bev Blank stopped by to chat for a few minutes. She and Joe have only been up for about two weeks this summer, and they are already heading back home to Illinois. Bev said that Joe hasn’t been feeling well, but she hopes that next year things will be better and that they will be able to stay longer. We hope so too, Bev. Have a good trip back.

The crops around here are really starting to look good.

I’m so glad the hail didn’t do a lot of damage. This spring was so cold and rainy that it seemed that the poor farmers were never going to get the fields seeded, and then when they did it seemed that we’d never get enough sunshine to do any good. I guess we all worry for nothing. God knows what he’s doing.

Our berries and fruit trees are really producing this year. I’ve been picking blueberries for a couple of weeks now and should be able to make plenty of pies this winter. We also had lots of cherries, and the raspberries are just starting to get going. The pear and apple trees are almost bending over with all the fruit on their branches.

Note to pie-loving nephew: Hang on, I’ve been so busy harvesting I just haven’t been able to make your pie yet.

Soon.

Our sympathy goes out to the family of Mable Gardner who passed away last week.

I think that’s about all I know from Barronett this week.

Hope to see you at the Barronett Lutheran potluck and the Wiesner potluck. Fast all day Saturday and maybe you’ll be able to handle all the food on Sunday. See you next time.

O

ne day a television reporter received a letter from a young girl.

It read, “When I grow up I want to do what you do. Please do it better!”

Often when we observe someone doing something we can see many ways to improve their work. It only seems natural that we can always discover ways for others to improve on what they are doing.

It is much easier for me to want to improve or change someone, actually anyone, other than myself.

Jesus said, “Judge not,” and he wondered how we could see the speck in our brother’s eye in spite of the log that was in our own eye.

One sure way to improve the quality of our lives is to turn them over to Jesus and to measure whatever we do by what he has done. When he imparts his wisdom in our minds, implants his strength into our bodies, instills his truth in our hearts, endows our hearts with his love, we will be so busy doing his work that we won’t have time to criticize others.

John “Jack” Gary Krentz

John “Jack” Gary Krentz, 76, Hertel, passed away peacefully at home Aug. 6, 2013.

Jack was born Sept. 12, 1936, in Cumberland, to Doris (West) and Dr. George Krentz. He graduated from Frederic High School in 1954 and enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1957 where he worked as an aviation electrician. After being honorably discharged from the Navy, he married Virginia Kay O’Donnell at Lakeview Methodist Church on Sept. 16, 1961, and together, raised three children. After retiring as a grocery manager, Jack was often found cutting wood and woodworking. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing and gardening.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Doris and Dr. George Krentz; his brother, George Krentz; and his

nephew, Mike Krentz.

He will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 51 years, Kay Krentz; daughters Susan (Lowell) Ackerman, Oakdale, Minn., and Lisa (John) Unertl, Oregon, Wis.; his son, Joel Krentz, Hertel; and grandson John Joseph Unertl; as well as many other relatives and friends.

by Marian Furchtenicht

The grain is golden and some has already been harvested. The Perlicks sunflower field on CTH B has big golden flowers, all looking to the east. It’s such a beautiful sight.

Lately there are so many hummers at the nectar feeders along with lots of young ones. They fight, just like kids, and are so fun to watch.

Monday night, Aug. 5, there was a good turnout at Tony’s in Spooner for all teams, women’s leagues. Our Tuesday p.m. league is looking for bowlers. Call Mary Marschall at 715-468-2377 and join us. Otherwise, there are other leagues needing bowlers also if you don’t like us.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Lance Parker, married Saturday at a ceremony held at Butternut Hills Golf Course. A golf outing, a reception and dance was held in the evening. Really nice with great food.

Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht and kids Jillian and Jaxson and their puppy, a great Dane named Frank, have moved into their living quarters at the end of their new equipment shed here in West Sarona after living in their camper a month or more while finishing it as their home in Shell Lake had sold right away. Welcome back, Ryan.

Wednesday afternoon, the Terraceview Living Center van from Shell Lake brought some residents out to Whitetail Ridge and Backwoods here in West Sarona to listen to Ray Rubenzer play and sing some old-time music. Folks coming out were Avis Nordin, Marjorie Lawson, Bill Campbell, Marie Lanham, Norbert Glessing, Gertrude Larson and two others.

At the Backwoods on Saturday, Aug. 17, there is a pool tourney at 7 p.m.

Baasch will report to Fort Jackson, S.C., for basic training on Oct. 15. After successful completion of basic training, he will train as a parachute rigger.

The program gives young men and women the opportunity to delay reporting for basic training for up to 365 days.

by Patty Murray Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Wisconsin’s Department of Transportation wants input from farmers on new proposals governing the movement of agricultural equipment.

The department is hosting a series of town hall meetings this month on proposals regarding what can or cannot be driven on roads.

The DOT says agriculture equipment is getting larger and heavier, and convened a study group consisting of farmers, engineers and implement manufacturers.

Dave Vieth, who directs the DOT’s Bureau of Highway Maintenance, says the rules haven’t been updated in decades. Vieth says if a farmer invests tens of thousands of dollars in a piece of equipment, he or she has a say in where and how it is driven on public roadways.

“A lot of this equipment becomes very expensive,” says Vieth. “Then when … you find out there’s a bridge that can’t accommodate that weight, you’re either in a position where you have to move it on a circuitous route … (or) load it onto a commercial trailer that has enough axles to distribute the weight.”

Besides weight, height and length of farm equipment, Vieth says the study group also weighed in on who should be able to drive implements. Current law allows people too young for drivers’ licenses to operate machinery on roads.

Says Vieth, “We would be proposing that the driver be 18 years old and have a driver’s license. And we expect to hear a fair amount of feedback about that at these town halls.”

The meetings begin Aug. 19 in Madison. After public input, Vieth says the study group will reconvene and forward its recommendations to the legislature whose members would have to approve any changes.
