Justices divided over court altercation

by Bill Lueders and Kate Golden Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism Special to the Register MADISON - On the Wisconsin Supreme Court, even the justices accounts of what they’ve witnessed split along ideological lines.

The court’s conservative justices gave a significantly different version of events than their liberal counterparts in their statements to Dane County sheriff’s deputies investigating a June 13 altercation between Justices Ann Walsh Bradley and David Prosser, according to reports released Friday, Aug. 26. (They are posted online at wisconsinwatch.org.)

The incident remains under investigation by the Wisconsin Judicial Commission, which is charged with enforcing judicial ethics.

On Thursday, Sauk County District Attorney Patricia Barrett concluded that, based on her review of the reports, no criminal charges would be filed.

Prosser issued a press statement saying he was “gratified that the prosecutor found these scurrilous charges were without merit.”

Bradley’s statement said, “My focus from the

Justices divided/from page 1

erupted during a discussion over the timing of the court’s decision upholding the state’s collective bargaining law.

Released the next day, that decision was a 4-3 split, with conservative Justices Prosser, Patience Roggensack, Annette Ziegler and Michael Gableman in the majority.

In their accounts of the altercation, the justices agree Prosser stated during the dispute that he had “lost confidence” in Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson’s leadership. Bradley told him to get out of her office and moved toward him.

Beyond that, the two sides do not concur.

Roggensack and Gableman joined Prosser in stating that Bradley rushed at Prosser with her fist raised and he reacted defensively.

“Justice Gableman said Justice Bradley’s fist was going toward and away from Justice Prosser’s face in almost a punching motion,” wrote Detective Peter Hansen in a report.

Prosser said his hands contacted Bradley’s neck but that it was inadvertent, “a total reflex.” He said that he never applied pressure to Bradley’s neck.

Bradley told deputies she “was in his

face like a coach can get in the face of a player, yet did not touch him.” She insisted her hand “wasn’t in his face.”

Abrahamson said she did not see Bradley’s fist raised at any time.

Abrahamson said she saw Prosser put both his hands in Bradley’s “neck area.”

And while she does not believe he squeezed, “because I didn’t see her eyes bulge or hear her gasp for a breath,” she said, “I was shocked by what I saw.”

Roggensack said she immediately got between the two justices and said, “Ann, this isn’t like you.” Others said that Roggensack pulled Bradley back.

Roggensack told deputies she thought both justices “were out of line.”

Ziegler said she was looking elsewhere and didn’t see where Prosser’s hands went. But she told deputies Bradley couldn’t have been choked because of the way she acted afterward — Bradley immediately went to her desk and started typing.

None of the justices responded to a request for comment from the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism. But Abrahamson, in a statement, said she was committed to improving the court environment and will propose that the

court open its conferences to the public.

The reports paint the picture of a toxic workplace.

Abrahamson and Bradley said they had long feared Prosser’s unpredictable “outbursts.” Bradley told deputies that while there were many positive things about Prosser, “he needs help.”

Justice Patrick Crooks, who was not present during the altercation, told deputies that Prosser “loses his cool repeatedly.”

Bradley told deputies that Prosser’s anger had previously been directed at the chief justice, whom he had called a “bit**” in February 2010. She added that she thought Prosser was paranoid and getting worse, according to the reports.

“You never know what will set him off,” Bradley said. Abrahamson told deputies almost the exact same thing.

Prosser told deputies he had heard Bradley say her law clerk was afraid to work late because of him, but “he was concerned that she is trying to set this up and portray him as a monster and show that he is entirely responsible for what happened.”

He said he “did not believe he did anything wrong,” and suggested to deputies

that word of the incident had been leaked to do the “absolute maximum damage to a public figure that you can do.”

The records show that Bradley discussed the possibility of getting a restraining order against Prosser but decided to try to handle it internally first, convening a meeting of the justices two days after the altercation.

Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs met with the justices and produced a brief report. He wrote that Prosser at one point turned to Bradley and said, “I should not have put my hands on you.”

Not the whole truth

I read Rod Kesti’s letter in last week’s Register. Then I read Jessica Beecroft’s article also on the subject of saving school health insurance money. Kesti is not “truthin’” when he tells us that the school district will save $280,000 by using a different insurance company. He fails to tell us that a substantial part of the savings will come from additional contributions from the employees.

But what is really interesting to me, is

by Diane Dryden SPOONER - Time is running out if you want to be a part of this year’s Walk for Alzheimer’s that will take place Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Spooner Nursing Home.

Teams have been forming in order to raise money and walk the simple twomile route. That said, there is always room for more teams and individual walkers. You can sign up online by going to Alz.org and clicking on the Spooner walk. You can even sign up the day of the event, teams or individuals, and if you’d like a purple T-shirt with the Alzheimer’s logo, it only takes $75 worth of donations.

One team’s tag line is “The memory you save might just be your own,” and

that the school asked for bids and Security is the only additional insurance company that bid. Could it be that they came in with a low offer just to “get a foot in the door”? By the way, the school says it will save about $250,000, not the $280,000 Kesti reports from his right wing source.

But that’s a small difference.

it’s so true. With a population of baby boomers who are aging in huge numbers, it is predicted that if a cure is not found that the disease will bankrupt the system. The disease is more prevalent with each decade a person lives and it’s the only disease that has no cure, everyone dies from the disease. The statistics are staggering; do you realize that every 70 minutes someone in the United States is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s-type dementia? Those are only the ones that are diagnosed; many are still in denial, even though with the passing of time the obvious becomes clear.

You can help fund the research by eating some cookies, pies and brownies that will be sold at the Shell Lake State Bank during Town and Country Days, Sept. 2

considering many of his detractors still won’t accept that Obama is American born. Arrrrgh!

and 3 during the bank’s business hours.

All the money goes to Alzheimer’s research. There will also be an innovated booth in the vendors area during the festival held in Memorial Park in Shell Lake. The table will be selling purple Alzheimer’s bracelets, giving out lots of information about the disease and they’re even having a 50/50 cash raffle between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 3.

If you’re hungry, be sure to stop by Thelma and Louise’s Brat Barn where the sausages come from Christman’s and the buns from the Spooner Bake Shoppe.

Not only are they supporting local businesses, but all the profit goes to Alzheimer’s.

USA Today has asked for Alzheimer’s

stories to publish as well as coverage by Time and Newsweek. This is not a disease that is going away anytime soon.

Nursing homes are adding huge wings to accommodate the rising tide of victims and others are simply mainstreamed into various nursing homes’ residential areas because there is nowhere else they can go.

The local Alzheimer’s chapter would love to see you get involved by forming a team or walking as an individual.

Money has to be raised for this, the most prevalent disease that has no cure ... yet.

Here’s your chance to become a part. Go on line to alz.org/gwwi or alz.org for further information or give the Washburn County program director, Joan Litwitz, a call at 715-635-6601.

Eight arrested for string of thefts BARRON COUNTY - Getting an electrical shock while cutting copper wiring to sell to a scrap yard didn’t stop one alleged burglar intent on getting the job done. William D. Hollen, 27, Rice Lake, appeared in Barron County Circuit Court on Tuesday, Aug. 23, on a felony charge of burglary. A $5,000 signature bond was set. In related incidents, eight people including Hollen were arrested for several thefts and burglaries of local businesses in the past three weeks.

Hollen is accused of breaking into buildings owned, but not used by, Wiersgalla Co. at 15 E. Allen St. in Rice Lake the night of Tuesday, Aug. 9, stated the criminal complaint. Overall, a total of about 20-30 feet of copper tubing was stolen. A subsequent investigation revealed that another person had seen red circular burn marks on Hollen’s hands that Hollen allegedly said he got from being shocked while cutting the copper wires.

Last week, law enforcement officials from the Barron and Rusk County Sheriff’s Departments arrested six men and one woman in connection with thefts of money, copper pipe and wiring. The pipe and wiring were removed from various businesses and vacant buildings. Rice Lake Chronotype

Beef-handling demonstration and pasture walk set for Sept. 10

TURTLE LAKE - The NW Graziers Network invites the public to a beef-handling demonstration and pasture walk at the Lynn Johnson Farm north of Range in Polk County, 577 145th Ave., Turtle Lake, on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m. to noon.

The event will feature Dr. Amy Radunz, UW-Extension Beef Specialist, who will discuss cattle-handling facilities and other current topics of interest to beef producers. The entire operation is designed to be low cost and run by one person.

The farm features a very practical oneperson cattle-handling facility, for small or large beef herds, emphasizing handling ease and safety. The demonstration will show how a seasonal maternity pen could be used as the entire cattle-handling facility for small farms. The herd consists of 70 moderate-sized Red Angus and crossbreds raised for the grass-finished market. Some are very old cows.

Johnson purchased a small herd two years ago that included a half-dozen cows over 15 years of age. One has tags indicating she is 22 years old. The farm consists of 205 acres owned and rented with 165 acres of hay and rotationally grazed pastures. Johnson, who is a certified grazing planner for NW Graziers, also participates in the new Conservation Stewardship Program.

The farm is located seven miles west of Turtle Lake, just north of Range on Hwy. 8. From Range, take CTH D north 1.5 miles, then go right on 145th. Watch for the signs. For more information contact Lynn Johnson at 715-268-8778, or Extension Ag Agent Otto Wiegand at 715-6353506. - submitted

who take their recipients shopping or to the doctors or to run errands, or maybe do yard work or meal preparation or even short-term respite care. Some volunteers help write out checks and pay bills. Some do light household chores or small home repairs. Some work best from their own home making nightly phone calls just to chat and inquire about a recipient’s day.

There are also volunteers that work in the office located at the Trinity Lutheran Church who file and fold and make phone calls.

The program runs 100 percent on donations and none of the recipients are ever asked to pay for their services, no matter how many times they’re helped. “We are supported by churches in the area as well as some of the families of the people we are assisting and sometimes by generous individuals who believe in what we’re doing.”

Members of the board at the picnic bring their own backgrounds of being a pastor, a teacher, a social worker, a technical college past president and several business owners. They are also volunteers and they each find their niche where they can help the recipient’s the most.

Faith in Action is always welcoming new volunteers and they emphasize that once they sign up and go through the one-day training session and get their handbook, that they are not obligated to stay with the program. They are also not obligated to volunteer any set number of hours. It could be as little as an hour a month, or just summers, for the snowbirds that live in Washburn County for only half the year.

mer is winding down.

As we slip into September it is a big weekend coming up. Locally, it is Shell Lake’s celebration of Town and Country Days. Committee members and the people that chair the various groups have been planning for months and are set to give participants and observers a fun-filled four-day experience with a variety of events taking place.

This weekend is also the last big weekend for the summer with the observance of Labor Day. Will you be doing any grilling this weekend?

According to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, 82 percent of households own a grill. Their statistics show that the number one thing to grill is burgers, followed by steak,

or even signing up a parent or grandparent, or yourself, their office at the church is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. If you care to call, the number in Spooner is 715-635-2252. If no one is there, you can leave a voice-mail message, or you can contact Faith in Action online at faithinactionwc@yahoo.com It’s a neighbor-helping-neighbor sort of an organization that would love to hear from you in person, on the phone or in a check form.

Ducks celebrate Labor Day

SARONA - Duck for the Oyster, the north woods premier traditional dance band, will hold their final summer dance at the Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary on Sunday, Sept. 4, starting at 7:30 pm. The dance, held in Hunt Hill’s historic Cedar Barn, is a great opportunity for summer folks and area residents to get together one last time for an evening of roots dancing to the music of one of Wisconsin’s most iconic bands. In the over 20 years that Duck for the Oyster has been together, they have earned a reputation throughout the Upper Midwest for the family-friendly, community-oriented

hot dogs, chicken and brats. The stats also show that most people use their grills year-round with 45 percent grilling once or twice per week this summer. The most popular grilling occasions are the Fourth of July with 71 percent; Memorial Day with 57 percent; and Labor Day with 55 percent. Grillers that use their grills during the winter were reported as 56 percent.

As we prepare to settle in to our end-of-summer routine, getting ready for fall and all the activities it provides, remember we are now once again sharing our roadways with school buses and students walking back and forth to school.

dances they present.

“We love seeing neighbors get together,” says fiddler, Kevin McMullin, “That’s why we do this. Seeing people connecting with each other in this old-fashioned barn, honoring a tradition that’s still living after hundreds of years ... There’s just something magic about that.”

Like all of their dances, the Duck for the Oyster Hunt Hill dance is smoke and alcohol free. “We get the widest variety of people at these dances,” says McMullin. “Singles and couples feel equally comfortable and kids appreciate feeling welcome and involved. Some folks come because they enjoy the live music. There’s always refreshments available. Everybody has a good time.”

Each dance is taught before the music starts; no previous experience is necessary.

by Diane Dryden SPOONER - There was a picnic with a purpose last Thursday night, Aug. 25, at the fairgrounds as Faith in Action volunteers and their families met to share stories and experiences as well as great food and fun.

The group of over 30 volunteers now meets monthly, thanks to the initiative of director Rebecca LeMenager, who has been on board since January of this year.

A pastor herself, she came to the position with a unique perspective of working hand-in-hand with the churches of the area to assist them in their outreach programs and to recruit volunteers who are looking for further opportunities to serve. “One of our goals is to help and enhance what the churches are already doing.”

Faith in Action is a volunteer-supported group that came to the area six years ago and has been a positive force in Washburn County by helping the elderly and short- and long-term disabled adults to stay in their own homes. These are the volunteers who provided 600 to 900 service-related miles last year. These are the ones

Birchwood charter school students raise beetles for invasive species control

BIRCHWOOD - Although none of them were named John, Paul, George or Ringo, the students at Birchwood Blue Hills Charter School got to hang out with some pretty important beetles (OK, not Beatles) this summer.

The BBHCS is a project-based school designed for students in grades 7-12. Students, parents and guardians work with an advisor to design an individualized curriculum that is project based in nature using virtual or face-to-face courses, mentorships or field experiences. Advisors included Jenny Landes and Todd Brunclik. For this particular project, the students worked closely with Lisa Burns, the aquatic invasive species coordinator.

In April, the students were educated on the negative effects purple loosestrife plays in the environment. Purple loosestrife is an invasive wetland plant of concern because, once established, it shades out many native wetland species, degrades wildlife habitat, and degrades recreation by choking out waterways. There is a biological control method used to slow the spread of purple loosestrife. During the spring and summer months, the Galerucella beetle feeds only on purple loosestrife plants. As the loosestrife population declines, so do the beetles. They overwinter in the soil and reappear in the spring. They won’t ruin your picnic or congregate on your house like some other beetles will.

Unless you go looking for them, you’ll probably never see one.

In May, the students planted purple loosestrife rootstock in buckets and began growing the plants in small pools. Nets were attached around each bucket to prevent predators from getting in. In June, Burns placed loosestrife-feeding beetles inside each net. The beetles mate and lay eggs on the plant. A few weeks later, the larvae hatch and make their way down the stem into the soil and turn into beetles.

In July, the charter students and plant biology students took the buckets of potted loosestrife out to a large purple loosestrife infestation near Red Cedar Lake. Larvae, that hadn’t turned into beetles yet, were found in the soil and were also placed in the infestation. Over time, the beetles will help control the infestation by eating the plants. This will allow a healthy population of native plants to grow in the wetland.

Two major benefits came out of this project. First, the students learned a lot about the problem invasive species pose, and second, they are helping a wetland regrow into a healthier ecosystem. – submitted

Just a quick note

… This weekend will be Town and Country weekend, and there will be many things happening. Last week’s Register had all the activities listed, but one was missing. There will be a book sale down by the lakefront, and there will be cartons of books ready to be sold. The hours are from 9 a.m. till 4 p.m. FOSLLs, Friends of the Shell Lake Library, will be on hand to help you pick out and buy the best books at down-to-earth prices. Out at the airport, Neil Peterson, pilot extraordinaire, will be unveiling his latest project not completed but just up for people to see. There will also be the fly-in with many pilots bringing in their planes, not only so that people can marvel at their ingenuity, engineering and mechanical skills in constructing the craft, but also flying their individual planes built

from kits. Of course, there will be the usual pancake breakfast also being served by pilots and friends. Not all the planes setting down on Shell Lake’s air strips fall into that “boat in the basement” category, but just ask around and marvel at what you can do with a little bit of balsa wood, glue and spare time. Another kudo to Angie Anderson and her 4-H’ers; that village garden looks great. And how about a tennis tournament this year, bring some wine and enjoy.

Wonder why the Marines have the nickname of the Leathernecks? Back when the swords were used instead of rifles, the Marines had leather bands around their necks to help ward off the sword blows rendered by unfriendly foes. Don’t really know if the army privates had any such assistance in trying to stay alive.

The late-summer sun is rising around 6:30 a.m. now, and the mornings are so quiet with a little fog. The grass is sparkling with dew. And, did you notice our sunsets are coming before 8 p.m. and the days are shorter?

There are lots of monarch butterflies and swallowtails seen now flitting around on various plants, and when mowing the yard, there are lots of fresh digs, where skunks are finding grub worms, I guess.

On the East Coast, Hurricane Irene made her appearance. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them for all of the troubles she has caused.

Saturday, the 100-year Methodist Church celebration was really nice. Good turnout on a beautiful day with special memories by former pastors, the Rev. Ray Heilborn (’83-‘92), the Rev.

Jennie Hastreiter, Janet’s daughter, also joined them.

Matt Hartwig of Okmulgee, Okla., spent Monday through Thursday with his grandmother, Virginia Stodola, while here spending time with his dad, Steve and family in Forest Lake, Minn. Jack and Judy Stodola from Onalaska came up to see him while here.

The Brill Trap Club team got together with the Tuscobia Trap Club team for a picnic on Sunday. Anton Frey’s boys attended.

Got a call from my classmate Betty (Tidler) Ness, who is here for her husband, Jerry Ness’ 60th Spooner High School class reunion and the Block family reunion at Minong. They are from Georgetown, Texas, so I had a nice chat with them.

Wisconsin marriage and divorce rates trail the nation’s

STATEWIDE - People in Wisconsin are getting married and divorced less often than couples in the rest of the country. That’s according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The bureau didn’t actually start collecting data on marriages and divorces until 2008. Its analysis of the first sets of numbers shows that in Wisconsin, neither the marriage nor the divorce rates are as high as the national average.

In Wisconsin, only about 1.7 percent of men tied the knot in 2009, compared with 1.9 percent nationally.

There was a similar gap for Wisconsin women, with about 1.6 percent in the state saying “I do” that year, while nationally it was closer to 1.8 percent.

And Wisconsin divorce rates were lower than the national average by similar margins. Diana Elliot is a family demographer for the U.S. Census Bureau. She says those numbers go hand in hand.

“If you don’t have as many people get-

Burglary suspects in court

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Both Kaylee M. Miller, 18, Inver Grove Heights, Minn., and Joseph F. Lukas, 22, St. Paul, Minn., are facing felony charges in connection with a burglary of a rural Spooner home.

After a neighbor tipped off the police to a robbery in progress, police chased the suspects through the woods off of Hwy. 70, in the Town of Evergreen, and with the assistance of a K-9 unit, captured them on July 29. Miller is facing two felonies and one misdemeanor.

Lukas is facing four felonies and five misdemeanors. Lukas is in custody at the Washburn County Jail awaiting trial.

Miller was out on bail, she failed to ap-

pear in court on Tuesday, Aug. 23. Miller forfeited her $500 bail and was subsequently arrested with a warrant. Miller then was released from jail on Thursday, Aug. 25, after the court agreed to reduce her bail from $5,000 to $1,000.

Miller appeared for her preliminary hearing on Monday, Aug. 29, where Judge Eugene Harrington, warned her to be on time, “This world is run by people who show up on time. And I run my ship pretty tight. Fair enough? See you Nov. 7, don’t be any later than 1 p.m. You’re in red and gray stripes today, but you’ll be in orange and white stripes if you’re late.

Understand?” to which, Miller agreed.

ting married, you don’t have as many people in the pool to get divorced,” Elliot says.

“For example, if people for some reason in Wisconsin are delaying marriage, then the marriage rates are going to be a little bit lower, and then the divorce rates are going to be a little bit lower.”

Elliot says the data also reveal an interesting national trend.

“We see that since 1970, the median age for men and women has increased for first

marriage by about 6 years.”

That means the average man marries at about age 28, while for the average woman it’s at about age 26.

Elliot says these rates are connected to higher education levels. In other words, she says, the more highly educated a population is, the more it tends to delay marriage.

Shell Lake scored late in the first quarter after Sam Livingston recovered a Luck fumble, and BJ Burton had a 20-yard touchdown run through the middle of the field. The kick was wide, and Shell Lake lead 6-0. In the second quarter Shell Lake quarterback Caleb Parker connected with Jon Lloyd on a crossing pattern, and

he ran for a 80-yard touchdown, with the two-point conversion good. Shell Lake lead 14-0 at the end of the half. Shell Lake scored early in the third quarter when Parker connected with AJ Denotter on a 34-yard touchdown pass. Jesse Gronning scored on a 40-yard touchdown run to make it 26-0. A Wyatt Carlson interception set up the final score of the game on a 23-yard AJ Denotter run, his second

touchdown of the game. A two-point conversion run by Gronning ended the game 34-0. Luck turned the ball over four times on two interceptions and two fumbles.

Shell Lake will be hosting the Siren Dragons on Friday, Sept. 2 with a 7 p.m. start. Siren is 1-1 for the season coming off a 21-0 win over Washburn/Bayfield and a 18-14 loss to Turtle Lake.

Wasn’t the Rutabaga Festival great?

We were there Friday evening for the food, Saturday morning for the run/walk and Sunday for the parade. It was great to see and visit with so many people. We saw Pat and John Evachenko at the parade on Sunday. Pat and John are from Madison, but have a cabin on an area lake that they stay in frequently during the summer. It was certainly nice to visit with them.

I wonder how many people there were at the walk/run on Saturday morning.

This was the first year that I have participated in the walk and I drove to that starting point at the high school expecting to be able to park in their parking lot.

Well, let me tell you, that lot was completely full as well as the street parking near there. I had no idea that many people liked to compete in the run and enjoy the walk.

Sharon Froehlich, Alyse Lehmann and I walked together. Sharon was pushing her two adorable granddaughters, Kendall and Addison, and Alyse was pushing my adorable great-granddaughter, which, of course, would be Alyse’s daughter, Tru. I think we finished the two-mile walk in 37 minutes.

Sharon’s daughter, Tracy, and Alyse’s sisters, Tinille and Miriah, were running in the race. I didn’t hear where Tracy finished, but Tinille took first place and Miriah took third in their age group.

The Cumberland Youth Hockey Association hosted a truck pull on Friday evening and a tractor pull on Saturday evening out by the hockey arena. Jason Froehlich and Miriah Lehmann were in the tractor-pulling contest with a couple of Ryan Lehmann’s John Deere tractors.

Jason was in first with the 4430 for quite a while, but ended up taking fourth at the end of that pull. Miriah took second with the 4850. In the end, she was beaten out by 2 feet by Dallas Cordes, also on a John Deere. Miriah said that losing to another John Deere wasn’t quite as painful as it would have been if it had been one of the red tractors.

Ryan, Suzy and Miriah went to the flyin breakfast at the Cumberland Airport for the first time on Sunday morning and said it was amazing. However, they didn’t find out until after they had their bel-

Aug. 20 – Children across the coun-

try are reporting their monarch butterfly sightings to Learner Organization at www.learner.org/cgi-bin/jnorth/jnquery-byday. The organization is dedicated to the global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. Journey North is an online science education project devoted to the study of monarch butterfly migration as well as other migrating species such as hummingbirds.

Happy Tonics reports monarch sightings from Shell Lake and Minong. The annual fall migration going to Mexico is known as Journey South. Monarchs will be leaving Canada shortly, if not already, and making their return to Mexico. We often see fall monarchs at the Monarch Butterfly Habitat when bright, sunny goldenrod is blooming. We saw a flurry of monarch caterpillar activity at the habitat in Shell Lake and a monarch emergence from a chrysalis in Minong last week.

Tuesday, Aug. 23 – Cindy Dyer arrived from the Washington, D.C., area on Tuesday, just missing the infamous D.C. earthquake. She is Happy Tonics vice president of marketing. Cindy is a professional photographer and graphic designer, with her own company, Dyer Design, in Alexandria, Va. She was recently interviewed and profiled by Nikon for her work as a garden photographer. Visit www.nikonusa.org, click on “learn and explore,” then “photography techniques,” and then “how to grow your garden photography skills.”

The interview showcases her work and

lies full that they could have gone on a helicopter ride. Suzy said that they were going to go again next year, but they would take the helicopter ride first and then eat breakfast.

Loren and Emma O’Neal spent the weekend with Grandpa and Grandma Don and Anitia Lehmann. On Saturday, Loren, Emma and their cousin, DaShaun, had a great time at the Rutabaga Fest, going on as many rides as they could possibly handle. On Sunday, they watched the parade. They liked the whole thing, of course, but they were especially enthralled with the Cumberland High School stilt walkers, juggler and unicyclists.

Loren, age 11, and Emma, age 8, are little city girls and love to visit the farm.

They especially like going out to the barn and playing with the kittens. The highlight of this visit was when Ryan showed the girls how he gets the milk from the cows. Emma was the one who was most interested and she brought a cup from the house in the hope that she would be able to get milk fresh from the cow. Naturally, Ryan obliged her. After he washed the udders, he squeezed a cupful out for her and she was thrilled. She said it was delicious.

It’s almost time for the Barronett Color Fest. Can you belive it? The Color Fest starts on Friday, Sept. 16, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 18. It starts with a spaghetti supper on Friday evening and continues on with all kinds of contests, events and great food for the weekend.

Of course, Barronett Lutheran women will be hosting the pie and ice-cream social again starting Saturday at 10 a.m.

The required ingredient for the baking contest is lemon this year. And, of course, there will be a softball tournament, garden tractor pull, kids pedal tractor pull, Barronett brick scavenger hunt, volleyball, wine and cheese tasting – the list goes on and on. Barronett Lutheran will be holding worship service at the community center on Sunday at 9 a.m. There will be posters on bulletin boards around town, so be sure to check them out. I certainly hope you can join us for all the festivities.

Angie Leeper and Shane Lehmann had a welcome to America picnic for their

methods for capturing the very best in garden photography. Visit her blog at www.cindydyer.wordpress.com and her botanical gallery at www.cindydyer. zenfolio.com.

Wednesday, Aug. 24 – Happy Tonics visited the Mobile Travel Information Center in Minong. MoTIC is the genius marketing child of Greg Vreeland, owner of Great Northern Railroad in Spooner. His vision is to take Northwest Wisconsin businesses on a graphic journey to trade shows in five states. MoTIC is the first one-of-a-kind road show for marketing Northwest Wisconsin. Destination Marketing Organization was founded by Greg, Nancy Herman of Yellow River Advertising and Design, and Evy Nerbonne of Pioneer Press.

Happy Tonics joined DMO when it first began about four years ago. Members such as Washburn County Tourism Association and business owners create a collaborative advertising and marketing opportunity for members throughout Northwest Wisconsin.

Thursday, Aug. 25 – Beth Carlson, director of Shell Lake Public Library, took a lunchtime stroll by Shell Lake Friendship Commons. While looking at the Lakes and Pines Girl Scout gardens she witnessed nine black swallowtail caterpillars on fennel. This was the first time that a culinary herb had been seen to attract a swallowtail to lay eggs on the host plant.

foreign exchange student, Simon Hallgren, a week ago Saturday. Simon is from Sweden and will be a senior at Cumberland High this year. Angie wasn’t sure of the spelling of the name of the town Simon comes from but thought it was Norpeg. The closest I could come to that in the atlas was Norrkoping, so I guess we’ll just have to ask Simon when we see him. There were lots of family and friends at the picnic to welcome Simon, and he was very happy to meet everyone and to try American food. He has already been to football practice with the Cumberland team, but can’t play in the games yet because he has to be to three practices without pads before he can play. He might also try out for hockey and he enjoys golfing. We all hope that Simon has a wonderful senior year in Cumberland.

This Saturday, Connie Black and Jamie and Christy Hovey invited a bunch of girls to a bachelorette party for Angie Leeper. They started out at Connie’s house and then headed down to the Rutabaga Festival. They rode the mechanical bull, listened to the band and

went to the Corner Bar. They all had a wonderful time, but sometime during the night, Angie lost her voice. The wedding is next Saturday, and Angie said she certainly hopes she gets her voice back before then. Otherwise, I guess she’ll just have to whisper her vows.

My No. 1 grandchild, Jamie Holmen, celebrated her golden birthday on Aug. 28. She, hubby Scott and twin daughters, Kaitlynn and Jessica, celebrated a couple of days early at the Mall of America.

Hope your day was fantastic, Jamie.

The redoing of the inside of Barronett Lutheran is coming along nicely. The painting is done and now we have to have the wood floor refinished and the carpeting put down. We had worship service in the basement again on Sunday and will probably be in the basement again next Sunday. We hope to be in the sanctuary again by Sept. 11. And, of course, at the community center on Sept.

18.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Have a fun-filled three-day Labor Day weekend. Catch lots of fish. See you later.

Jeff Nielsen

Jeff Nielsen, 64, Barronett, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2011, at his home. He was born on Oct. 9, 1946, in Rice Lake, to Harry Nielsen and Dorothy Nielsen (Rylander). He graduated from Shell Lake High School in 1964. He was married to Nancy Odden on June 17, 1967. They had 44 wonderful years together.

In 1984 he started his business, Silver Tip Excavating, which has become a family business with both sons at his side.

Jeff was an avid hunter and fisherman but will be remembered most as a wonderful husband, father, fatherin-law, grandfather, relative and friend. He had the most contagious laugh and you always knew when he walked into the room by the way it lit up. He always had a smile, a joke or a hug for anyone who needed it.

He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and three children, Aaron (Laurie) Nielsen, Dayna (Jim Holmstrom) Nielsen and Ayric (Sally) Nielsen, all who reside in the Shell Lake area; four wonderful grandchildren: Michael Nielsen, Stephanie Stetler, Cody Nielsen and Brady Nielsen, who are also known by the names Grandpa gave them: Farmer, Half-Pint, Caveman and Little Guy. To quote Jeff’s cousin Barry: “We will think of him every day and his laugh will echo the heavens.”

To honor his wishes a private family service will be held at a later date.

Skinner Funeral Home of Shell Lake is serving the family.

Lucille Elizabeth Busch

Lucille Elizabeth Busch, 91, died Aug. 22, 2011, at St. Mary’s Hospital, Duluth, Minn.

Lucille was born June 16, 1920, in Siren to Lorenzo and Lillian Palmerton. She attended and graduated from Frederic High School. Her father was a butter maker in Siren and Frederic, contributing to her lifelong passion for cheese.

After graduation she worked at Hagberg’s Department Store. During this time she met Florian Joseph Busch. He asked her for a date; she accepted and knew immediately this would be the love of her life. They were married Feb. 9, 1941, and had three children, Patricia, Joseph Jr. and Robert.

They moved to Spooner in 1949. Lucille did waitress work for about 10 years before purchasing the Topper Café from the Costellos. She owned and operated The Topper Café for about 30 years.

After Joe retired, they enjoyed many happy times at their cabin on Big McKenzie Lake where they ultimately built a home. They also ran an Angus beef operation in Bashaw Valley. When Joe died in 1991,

Lucille moved in with her youngest son, Bob, in Spooner. Bob died in June 2011.

Lucille is survived by one sister, Anella Lee of Springfield, Ohio; daughter, Pat Busch (Richard Groves) of Madison, S.D.; son, Joe Jr. (Jean) of Union, Wash.; eight grandchildren, Tania (Peter) Isaksen of Kirkland, Wash., Donald (Cassandra) Johnson of Madison, Andy Busch (Jane Campbell) of Eau Claire, Jeffery (Sharo) Busch of Issaquah, Wash., Joel (Suzanne) Johnson of Dayton, Ohio, Tony (Stephanie) Busch of Arlington, Korre (Tyan) Johnson of Milwaukee and Jayme Johnson (Jim) of Roberts; great-grandchildren, Morgan, Sven, Soren, Sophia, Aidan, Nancy, Alex and Adam; step-greatgrandchildren, Ali, Rebecca, Melanie, Ozzy and Damon.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lorenzo and Lillian; husband, Joe; and son, Bob. Graveside services were held Saturday, Aug. 27, at Spooner Cemetery and were officiated by Emory Johnson. On behalf of Lucille, the family would like to acknowledge all the love and care she received from special friends Lynda Marquardt, Liz Mallam and all of Bob’s many friends who came to her support after Bob’s death.

Sarona Methodist Celebrating 100 years

A cold wind was howling and a chilling rain was falling when a doctor’s telephone rang.

“My wife is sick,” cried a husband.

“She needs you right away.”

“I’ll be glad to come,” said the doctor, “but my car’s in the shop. Will you come and get me?”

“What,” he asked, “in this terrible weather? Never!”

So often we expect others to hurt themselves to help us, but we’re not willing to sacrifice to serve them. We spell service as “serve us.”

But the Bible says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.

Each of you should look not only at your own interests, but also at the interests of others.”

Aren’t we glad that we are not on the East Coast the last few days? They have a lot of cleaning up to do. Airlines, trains, and most all forms of travel were terminated until weather permitted it.

We’ve had beautiful weather with just a hint of fall.

Last Friday, Glenview residents had the chance to go to Barronett for lunch at the Bar and Grill. It was enjoyed and, as for me, it took me back to the ‘40s when our bus picked kids up both east and west of Barronett to go to Cumberland.

Friday afternoon, the family of Laura Reitzel treated the residents here to birthday cake and other goodies in celebration of Laura’s 96th birthday. Becca (Reitzel) Odden, granddaughter, was

here from Timberland with her three children, Charlotte, Zac and Jack. It was an enjoyable day. Birthday greetings to you, Laura!

On Saturday afternoon, we celebrated Harold Law’s 84th birthday with cake and ice cream. Our greetings to you, Harold!

Sunday Lillian Ullom went to Terraceview to visit her friends there. She stopped to see Avis Nordin and share sympathy to her on the death of her sister Myla (Rydberg) Price (88) of Minneapolis, Minn. Myla was the oldest of Art Rydberg’s family. They had three girls - Myla, Anelda and Avis - and three boys - Neal, Don and Bud. They lived across from the old Heart Lake Church.

Gosh, aren’t you glad we don’t live in those states getting the effects of Hurricane Irene? Yes, we complain of this and that, but we don’t realize how lucky we are. The last I heard on the radio, they said there were 16 people who died. I guess we have to count our lucky stars.

A very happy birthday to Paula Cramer on Sept. 1. Hope you have a wonderful day, Paula.

A very happy anniversary to a very special couple that are married 66 years on Sept. 1. Who are these people? Well, it’s none other than Cy and Janet Atkinson.

A very happy anniversary to Chuck Russell and his honey as they enjoy their special day together on Sept. 1. Have a fun day you two.

A very happy anniversary to Dan and Kayla (Albee) as they celebrate together on Sept. 3. Many more to you.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Carl Moore who passed away on Wednesday, Aug. 24. Carl had lung cancer and was married to his wife, Geraldine, for 62 years. He leaves behind a number of children and grandchildren. He will be missed by his many relatives and friends.

Talking with Diane Hulleman, we find she baby-sat her granddaughter, Izzy, on Saturday evening and Sunday while her folks, Chad and Colleen, took in the Butternut Golf Course on Sunday. Later they had a supper at the golf course. Diane also mentioned the maple leaves are turning now. Kind of early don’t you think?

Talking with Loretta VanSelus, she tells me that she and Butch haven’t done a lot, only going to their grandson, Jameson Stone’s, soccer games.

Saturday evening, Jerry and Gretchen Best were in Rice Lake to attend Jerry’s class reunion. They met at Days Inn. Fiftyone of the 140 kids were there, and Jerry and Gretchen said it was great fun.

Gretchen has a problem, and it goes like this, “they just can’t get enough done in a day.” Sound familiar?

One thing we have too much of is mosquitoes. Yes, they swarm us any old time of day. Imagine it’s due to the many rains we’ve had.

Ann Johnson tells me she has dehydrated, canned and frozen lots this season.

She has fall raspberries to put up yet and they’re coming.

Area Writer’s corner The Amazing Mr. Franklin

Editor’s note: This story received a blue ribbon at this year’s Washburn County Fair

by Mary B. Olsen While sorting my mail the other day, I found a request for a magazine subscription. The Saturday Evening Post wants me to read their magazine. No thanks. Too many magazines already. Way back, when I was young, that magazine had been very important to everyone. It had good stories and cartoons and a large readership. They say it was founded by Benjamin Franklin. That made me think of the many accomplishments of the Founding Father known to everyone.

I visited Philadelphia last summer, and I entered the church and sat down on the pew directly behind the one where Benjamin sat during services many years ago. If he was still there, I could have reached out and touched his wig. You have to open a gate at the end of the well-crafted pew, go in, close the gate behind you and then sit down. Our tour group quietly and reverently exited the church. We walked along the grounds where trees made it shady and a pleasant breeze rustled the leaves of an Osage tree, familiar to me as a hedge-apple tree, used as a windbreak at fence lines in fields. We walked to the Christ Church Burial Ground and stood at the Franklin grave, which is inscribed Benjamin and Deborah Franklin. It is covered in concrete.

Benjamin Franklin was born on Milk Street in Boston, Mass., Jan. 17, 1706. His father was Josiah Franklin. He was a tallow chandler and produced soap and candles.

Ben’s mother was Josiah’s second wife. Ben was the 10th son of 15 boys. There were two younger girls. He grew up helping his parents and had only two years of schooling. He was a reader all his life. By the time he was 10, he was working for his father. His brother, James, who founded the New England-Courant, the first independent newspaper in the Colonies, took Ben as an apprentice printer.

He must have been one of those type-A kids, because it seemed like he was driven to do extraordinary things.

He wrote items for the paper, but James wouldn’t print them. So, he began writing letters to the editor under the name Mrs. Silence Dogood and slipped them under the print-shop door. James put them in the paper. People liked them. When Ben admitted that he wrote them, James got angry. There was a strained relationship, and soon Ben decided he had to be out on his own.

Just a boy, but a talented boy, Benjamin Franklin wrote later in his autobiography that he entered Philadelphia with only a bit of change. He bought two rolls and ate one and had the other under his arm as he walked down the city streets. He was a boy who had abandoned his apprenticeship, a serious offense, but nonetheless, felt like a free man.

He worked for several printers and soon had his own print shop. He enjoyed a robust social life and fell in love with a young woman. Her name was Deborah Read. He hoped to marry her, but her mother did not approve of the match. Ben went to England where he became a printer and entered into society. Meanwhile, Deborah was urged by her mother into a marriage that was a disaster. He took her dowry, ran off to Barbados and never returned. When Ben got back to Philadelphia they wanted to marry, but could not because it would be bigamy. And somewhere along the line, Ben had a son, William, who came to live with him and Deborah.

Later Ben and Deborah, in a common-law marriage, had two children, Francis, who died when he was 4 years old, and Sarah Franklin, called Sally, who married and had a family and cared for Ben in his old age.

Ben was involved in politics and so much more. The house where he lived has been reconstructed on the same lot, and the area is paved with old bricks. You can walk in his yard, but it is not as it was when he lived there.

Independence Hall is still there, and you can see the Liberty Bell and other things important to the formation of our nation. You can imagine what it was like for the Founding Fathers convened in the historic building

for four months debating and arguing, and finally leaving with the Constitution printed up and ready to be ratified by the states. The story goes that someone asked Franklin, as he was leaving the building, if they had completed their convention. He said, “We have.

You have a Republic. If you can keep it.”

Ben Franklin was among other things, a political theorist, musician, satirist, statesman, diplomat and a prolific inventor. As a printer, he invented the first political cartoon. He served as governor of Pennsylvania from 1785 to 1788. He was the nation’s ambassador to France.

Among his inventions were the lightning rod, the odometer, bifocal glasses and the stove. He experimented with electricity. He was the first postmaster general. He had the first public library and the first fire department. He was a writer, and he first gained fame when he wrote “Poor Richard’s Almanack.” In those days wisdom in society meant one could come up with an old saying for any occasion. His almanac was a collection of folk wisdom with added items for farmers, like time of sunrise and sunset, and dates best for planting.

He may have put down the things people already said, but he certainly added his own fresh ideas. “Little strokes fell great oaks. Remember that time is money.

Lost time is never found again. Make haste slowly. Half a truth is often a great lie. God helps them that help themselves. Energy and persistence conquer all things.

History is full of the errors of states and princes. The biggest trees do not always bear the most fruit. Love your neighbor, yet don’t pull down your hedge. Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.”

“A penny saved is twopence earned.” Some say a penny saved is a penny earned, but Franklin said it and wrote it the first way. He got a lot of things right. He died April 17, 1790. The Bonhomme Richard, a French ship captained by John Paul Jones, was named for him, and his title, “Poor Richard.” Two battleships have been named for him, and his image is on postage and money.

Many other tributes to him are part of our American heritage. He didn’t want to patent his inventions. He said he just wanted to find ways to help people in the course of their daily lives.

SLEF welcomes back students and staff

SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake Educational Foundation wishes all Shell Lake School District students and staff a successful 2011-2012 school year. They look forward to working alongside them to strengthen community participation in the district's educational programs.

Republicans unwelcome at Wausau Labor Day parade

by Glen Moberg Wisconsin Public Radio WAUSAU - For apparently the first time in its history, Republicans will not be allowed to march in Wausau’s traditional Labor Day parade.

The parade is organized each year by the Marathon County Labor Council, a coalition of about 30 local unions. Republican office holders have always been a part of it, but not this year. Randy Radtke, president of the Labor Council, says it’s because of their support of Gov. Walker’s move to strip public workers of their collective bargaining rights, “They went along with Scott Walker’s attack on workers, you know, with the attack on workers rights. I didn’t even really think they would

be asking to be in our Labor Day parade this year because of what happened down in Madison.”

Freshman state Sen. Pam Galloway is one of the Republicans who would have liked to march. She says, “I think it’s disappointing because a parade is supposed to be a family/people-oriented event, and they’ve introduced some partisan rancor into it. After all, we are their elected officials.”

Galloway says Republicans voted to remove privileges from union workers, not fundamental rights, “Well the only thing that we did was remove the collective bargaining privileges, and I call them privileges, for the government workers. Remember that only about 15 percent of the working population is union-

ized, and Republicans represent all workers.”

Radtke says Galloway isn’t being excluded just because she’s a Republican, “There were some Republicans like Dale Schultz that went against their party and Scott Walker. If that was the case up here, we would have let them in.”

The Labor Council also refused to allow freshman Republican Congressman Sean Duffy to march in the parade, in part because he didn’t condemn the governor’s actions.

The city of Wausau is now threatening to charge the Labor Council for parade-related expenses, unless the event is open to all political parties.

Shell Lake marching band at the Rutabaga Festival

The Shell Lake marching band, striking a pose from “Saturday Night Fever,” took away the top honors for a small school. They spent three days in the hot sun and a week of night practices to perfect this routine. If you did not get a chance to see them, they will be performing it at the Shell Lake Town and Country Days parade on Sunday, Sept. 4. – Photos by Larry Samson

Aimee Pashby was happy with the performance of the Shell Lake marching band at the Rutabaga Festival in Cumberland on Sunday, Aug. 28. They took home first place in the small school division and lost out Best All-Round Band to Rice Lake by one point. It became a family project for her after she broke her ankle and her husband, Don, stepped in to help. Kellie Myers, Beth Bulgrin and Emma Gimse-White, representing the flag squad and marching band, share this honor with the Pashbys.
