SHELL LAKE — This weekend grab a blanket, a star map and find a suitable area of sky for an annual show of lights that will take place in the sky near you, peaking on the nights of Sunday and Monday, Aug. 11 and 12. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Perseid meteor shower has been observed for at least 2,000 years and is widely considered to be one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year.

The show starts on Saturday, Aug. 10, when the earth passes through the Swift-Tuttle comet’s debris trail, causing 1,000-year-old pieces of ice and dirt to burn up in the earth’s atmosphere. Being located in the Northern Hemisphere gives everyone in the area a front-row seat to some of the best viewing opportunities for this meteor shower in the world. Careful observers will find that most of the meteors emanate from the constellation of Perseus, located to the north in the night sky.

Most stargazers will agree that a clear night is necessary for the best viewing, but NASA has you covered. A live broadcast of the event will be available beginning on the evening of Aug. 10 until the morning of Aug. 12 if the weather makes outdoor observations impossible.

However, the best way to watch the meteor shower will be in an open area of sky, lying on the ground and looking straight up into the sky.

Taking care you are far enough away from artificial lights and allowing time for your eyes to adjust to the darkness will also increase your chances of observing the streaks of light flashing overhead.

To watch the show online, go to nasa.gov and search for Perseid meteor shower. - Danielle Moe/Register staff writer

A skate park for Shell Lake

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Ollie, kick turn, grind — the rules are simple: if you fall down you get back up. Kids across the country enjoy the fun provided by public skate parks with activities like skateboarding, biking and scooters.

Haelyn Eggert and her friends enjoy the sport of each activity, but the lack of a park in Shell Lake has raised safety concerns, putting a damper on their sporting experiences. “All of my children are skaters and their friends are skaters so they come and skate in the driveway and around town,” said Loretta Eggert. The last few years Eggert said the skaters have been chased down, and in some cases yelled at, for skating in town. Feelings of frustration abound for the skaters, their parents, and town residents.

In response to the need for a place for the kids to safely work their tricks, the kids and their parents have started fundraising efforts to build a skate park in Shell Lake. “I am really excited about Shell Lake getting a skate park,” said Taren Farley, 11.

Fundraising efforts for the skate park include vending machines and voluntary donation cans.

Ten percent of the funds brought in by the vending machines located at the Shell Lake park are given to the project. The donation cans for the park can be found at the BP and Cenex gas staHaelyn Eggert is out collecting money for the Shell tions as well as the library and the Shell Lake Lake Public Skatepark. Cans for making donations State Bank.

In addition to fundraising, the skate park com- have been set up in some businesses around town. — Photo by Larry Samson

Three contracts approved by Spooner School Board Increase in contract days for teachers; updates to technology; maintenance needs addressed

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER - Three contract bids were awarded at the Monday, Aug. 5, board of education meeting.

A motion for the approval of increasing the number of mandatory contract days for teachers was met with apprehension from some board members. Other board actions included the acceptance of a donation of tissues to the elementary school from Spooner businessman Glen Clayton.

The board approved $737,502 for Mck-

instry to handle the school’s Act 32 Energy Exemption Performance contract.

Most of the funds from the contract will be used to update the high school wireless, computer systems, and the purchase of iPads. In addition the elementary and middle school buildings will have building envelope tests performed. The board approved the low bid of $33,575 from Building Envelope Solutions LLC from Oshkosh.

Don Haack, school superintendent, recommended that the board increase the cocurricular and extracurricular salary schedules by 1 percent, in addition to increasing the number of contract days for teachers from 188 to 190 for continuing teachers and from 190 to 192 for new teachers.

“A proposed tentative agreement with the union for teacher wages for next year at 2.07 percent would afford an average

daily rate increase of 1 percent next year for teachers if the days were approved,” reads the board informational agenda document.

Board member Nate Eichorst recused himself, leaving four members of the board present since board members Paul Goellner and Bev Bohac were not present for the meeting. After a three-to-one vote, with board member Robert Hoellen voting against, the motion was approved.

Hoellen requested that board policy be checked to make sure a quorum was met.

Haack later confirmed to the Register that the board did have a majority of a quorum vote, so the motion passed.

The board approved Roy’s Sealcoating to grind out, clean and seal cracks at all three SASD facilities. Roy’s bid came in as the low bid at $6,100. Michael Markgren, district business manager, also reported that, after verifying with two electricians,

wiring in the high school gymnasium will need to be replaced. “We are burning capacitors on the winch motor that brings up both basketball hoops, the dividers and the batting cage,” said Markgren. Markgren reported that, according to electricians, the wires are undersized for the specs of the winch, and the motors will eventually burn out if the wires are not replaced.

Free athletic events?

The budget committee reported that they were looking into the possibility of making all SASD home athletic events free of charge. The ticket sales bring in approximately $14,000 in revenue to the general fund. By making the events free of charge some committee members feel it would encourage more attendance to school athletic events.

A little scary but worth it

by Steve Roisum Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Gov. Scott Walker is asking for federal funds to reimburse communities for infrastructure repair after heavy rains in late June.

FEMA inspectors visited Wisconsin last month and saw hundreds of roads, bridges, culverts and buildings that were damaged due to June’s torrential rains and flooding. Cost totals ended up on Walker’s desk. Now he is requesting $9 million in federal aid to cover damages to local infrastructure in 11 counties and for the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

Lori Getter, a spokesperson for Wisconsin Emergency Management, says there’s reason for optimism. “This same storm system also hit Iowa and Minnesota. Both of those states have received declaration for public assistance.”

If President Barack Obama approves the request, the federal government will pay 75 percent of eligible costs. The state and local governments would split the remaining 25 percent.

In the market for a small plane?

Enthusiasts weigh in on their hobby’s price tag

by Patty Murray Wisconsin Public Radio OSHKOSH - The Experimental Aircraft Association annual fly-in was held in Oshkosh July 29-Aug. 4.

Thousands of small planes were parked on the grounds, proof that flying has remained somewhat affordable over the years. But it all depends on how much pilots want to spend.

One of the first slick pavilions inside the EAA gates belonged to Piper Aircraft.

“I’d say the top-of-the-line aircraft is $2.2 million, approximately,” said Jacqueline Carlon, Piper’s director of marketing and communication. “Then probably the entry-level aircraft is about $329,000.”

She said their average, brand-new plane runs a cool million. Even at that price, she expected the company will get leads on three to five new customers this week.

Carlon says buyers come from all over. “We’ve had people from Mexico, people from Brazil, a lot of people from China and the Pacific Rim.” Piper was having one of its best flyin weeks in several years. Granted, the average attendee isn’t going to buy a million-dollar airplane.

“The average age of a general aviation airplane is almost 40 years old now,” says Dave Franson, an aviation consultant, writer and president of the Wichita Aero Club. Instead of buying a cost-prohibitive new plane, Franson says, most general aviation enthusiasts opt for the used route. He says an older plane can be had for roughly $20,000.

More cost is added through what he calls the three R’s: refurbishing, rebuilding and remanufacturing.

“Let’s say you paid $25,000 for an airplane that’s 30 years old and has some older equipment and some things you want to update,” said Franson. “You could, for the price you paid for the airplane, bring it up to a pretty good example of an airplane that’s able to operate nicely in the current environment.”

Franson says much of the cost of new planes is in the cockpit controls which are now glass, digital and fitted with the newest electronic navigation systems.

So he says manufacturers have little incentive to build less expensive models, but that they understand their product is pricey.

“I think they all recognize that in order to keep the pilot population up, you have to do a couple of things — not the least of which is make it something that’s not only the purview of the rich man,” said Franson.

Besides the price of a plane, pilots also have to put in a lot of time meeting licensing regulations. Then there’s the $6 per gallon for fuel. But for Jeff Gehring

A Piper aircraft at the Oshkosh fly-in. - Photo by D. Miller of Slinger, it’s like any other hobby; it’s going to cost some money.

“Flying can get rather expensive on the high end,” said Gehring. “But if you get to the affordable flying you can get an airplane for $20,000 or so. You can make it real affordable.”

With an eye to the future of general aviation, the EAA has a program called Young Eagles. It sets up kids across the

country with hometown pilots who give free introductory rides to someone who might be in the market for a new or refurbished plane years from now.

Congratulations to Shell Lake and to the Shell Lake Lions Club On Friday, July 26, my daughter, Molly, and I drove to Shell Lake to participate in the Shell Lake triathlon. First, congrats on undertaking the event and second, for doing such a wonderful job with it, starting with the information packet pickup and spaghetti dinner on Friday night.

Food was great and packet pickup was very smooth. The organization of the actual event was outstanding, great safety coverage for the swim portion volunteers and every corner of the bike portion, providing directions and cheering on the participants, the run course was well-marked and staffed with volunteers. Very well done. It was wonderful, too, how many people came to cheer on and encourage the participants, individuals and teams.

Cherishing the outdoors: Stephen Farmers markets, festivals Smith 75th Assembly and lakes Before school season comes around the corner, I hope you and your family get a chance to enjoy one of the many neighborhood farmers markets outside.

Late summer is the perfect time to drop by these local food hangouts to pick up some fresh produce, flowers or herbs from local growers. Fruits and vegetables are ripe, and it’s never out of season to taste new delicious homegrown cheeses and dairy products. Shopping at these markets is not only healthier for you and your family, but it puts a dollar back in the pocket of our neighbors in Northwest Wisconsin. Every Saturday or weekend afternoon you can enjoy what your nearby farmers have to offer, while celebrating agriculture as the number one industry in the Badger State.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin has a variety of festivals and fairs to attend in August.

All across the state, there are family fun activities that everyone can enjoy. If you have some time to sneak away, feel free to check out one of the biggest ones: the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee. Running from Aug. 1-11, the fair will host a wide array of entertainment such as amusement parks, live music, an assortment of savory food, and of course, lots of beer from local Wisconsin breweries.

After work, grab a breath of fresh air, untie the boat from the dock and unwind on the lake. There is a reason so many of our towns in the 75th District are named for their lakes. They are pristine bodies of water, and it is only right that we cherish what our backyard has to offer. These lakes serve as recreational enjoyment, but also give us a great opportunity to carry on Wisconsin’s proud fishing and boating traditions. They are a part of our community, and we should appreciate their natural beauty.

When I’m not going door to door in the district, I’m outside taking in the summer festivities with my family. And whether it’s farmers markets, annual festivals or spending time by the lakefront, I hope you get a chance to do the same.

State Patrol Law of the Month Intersection crashes can be prevented by obeying traffic signals

SPOONER — Drivers who roll through a stop sign or try to beat a red light at an intersection are not just impatient and careless. They are a real threat to everyone else on the road. Crashes at intersections cause approximately 20 percent of all traffic deaths nationwide each year, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

To remind drivers that obeying traffic signs and signals at intersections can be a matter of life or death, the Federal Highway Administration has designated Aug. 4-10 as National Stop on Red Week for 2013.

“Intersections are some of the most dangerous places motorists encounter,” said Lt. Dori Petznick of the Wisconsin State Patrol Northwest Region. “There are many complex movements at intersections with vehicles entering, crossing and exiting at different points. Pedestrians and bicyclists also may be crossing at intersections. If drivers disregard the traffic controls by failing to stop completely

at a red light or stop sign, they endanger themselves and others. Crashes at intersections cause many deaths and serious injuries because vehicles often are hit in the side where there is less protection for drivers and passengers.”

Failing to obey a red light, stop sign or other traffic control device at an intersection is not only dangerous — it’s expensive. A violation for failing to stop completely for a traffic signal, sign or marking costs $175.30 with three demerit points assessed on the driver’s record, according to state law. Committing a second offense within a year costs $213.10 with another three points.

“To prevent intersection crashes, drivers must keep an alert eye on traffic moving into, through, and out of the intersection,” said Petznick. “They also must obey all traffic signals and signs. Drivers should make it a habit to stop completely on red and not race through a yellow light to beat a red light. At a yellow light, drivers must stop unless they’re so close to the intersection that they can’t stop safely.

Traffic engineering has improved the safety of intersections, so now it’s up to drivers do their part.” — from WSP

Possible policy changes for SASD High School students students looking for answers or direction has made reaching every student problematic. In an attempt to meet the demands of students the school offered five health-exploration presentations during the second semester of the 2012-2013 school year. “The sessions were half an hour apiece, and to everyone it seemed like we could have been there for another hour, and questions would come up after that,” stated Jody Eichhorst, high school family and consumer education teacher.

Peterson stated the proposed course would discuss topics like nutrition, stress, relationships, substance abuse, conflict resolution and violence prevention, among many others. “I feel that if we are telling students ‘don’t do drugs and stay abstinent’ then we should also be telling them the reasons behind it. It is hard to enforce and follow rules without understanding the whys,”

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER — A new required class is on the drawing table for Spooner Area School District High School students. An increase in student concern has gotten the attention of faculty at Spooner High School, resulting in the possible addition of a required health education class.

Currently students fulfill the health education requirement in grade eight, but that may not be realistic for today’s world. “To have health all covered in middle school, yes they meet the graduation requirement, but there are a lot of new issues that arise, and we just do not have a good venue to support the students,” explained Jennifer Peterson, Spooner High School principal.

Traditionally the school’s guidance counselor handles these issues, but the upsurge in

stated Shelby Buckingham, a 2013 Spooner High School graduate. Peterson stated that a quarter credit would be completed in grade 7 while the additional quarter credit requirement would be offered to incoming SHS freshmen.

An additional policy change for Spooner High School students would be offering waivers to those students that meet requirements to opt out of the required half credit in physical education. In a proposal addressed by the curriculum committee the waivers are designed for junior and senior high school students that have difficulty fitting all desired classes into their busy schedules. “I really see this making an impact for maybe one or two students on a yearly basis,” observed Peterson. In order to be eligible for a waiver students must demonstrate that they participate in after-school sports or an approved

organized physical activity.

Don Haack, school superintendent, observed at the Aug. 5 board of education meeting that the waivers may cut some students out of physical education, not only physical activity.

“There are pros, there are cons to it but it is something we wanted you to have some information on it,” stated Peterson.

Also discussed for future development was the need to re-evaluate how the district calculates grade-point averages and updating the school’s graduation policy. Each of the items were addressed at the meeting. Peterson said more data and information collection was required before moving foward with board action.

Shoeman Water Project continues SPOONER — The Shoeman Water Project, bringing clean drinking water to Third World countries, is continuing its local drive for used shoes, thanks to the Sawyer-Washburn County Chapter of Thrivent Financial.

“We originally planned to end the project last November,” said local Thrivent Financial associate Joey Falch, “but the churches and communities are on board to continue.”

According to chapter board member Mike Schroeder of Spooner, the St. Louis-based

Shoeman organization collects used shoes, which are sorted and sold to wholesalers.

Money raised then goes to well-drilling projects and equipment in Kenya and other nations. More information may be found at shoemanwater.org.

“You needn’t worry about the condition of the shoes,” said Schroeder. “Unwearable shoes or single shoes are ground up and used for walking path surfacing projects in these underdeveloped areas.” And the chapter

Nordic folk concerts to be performed at Ceska House HAUGEN — Nordic folk music is the theme of a pair of concerts at the Ceska Opera House in Haugen. The Blue & The Blond appears Friday, Aug. 23; and Kardemimmit appears Friday, Sept. 13. Starting time for both concerts is 7:30 p.m. The Ceska Opera House is located at 320 W. Third Street/CTH V in Haugen.

The Blue & The Blond consists of the duo of Vidar Skrede of Norway and Jutta Rahmel of Finland. The duo describes their music as, “Finnish kantele meets Norwegian hardingfele,” which creates a Nordic horizontal polarity. They present tune types you find in Nordic traditions such as polska, halling, schottische and waltz; songs like Finnish rekilaulu and Norwegian ballads, and original pieces.

Skrede plays hardingfele, also known as hardanger fiddle, conventional fiddle, guitar and also sings.

The hardingfele is an instrument unique to Norwegian folk music that has a secondary set of sympathetic strings under the main strings, which produces an echo-like sound often described as haunting. The instrument is often very ornately decorated.

Skrede is a freelance musician with a master’s degree in Nordic folk music from the Royal School of Music in Stockholm, Sweden. He performs with bands of varied musical styles in Europe. Skrede appeared at the opera house last September as the leader of the Norwegian folk ensemble Geitungen.

Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.

She has been a professional freelance performer since a teenager and teaches kantele around Helsinki.

Kardemimmit is a quartet of young women from Finland that includes Rahmel, Maija Pokela, Anna Wegelius and Leeni Wegelius. All sing and play the kantele. They have all studied their instrument at the Juvenalia Music School in Espoo, Finland.

The forms of kantele they play are 15-

and 38-stringed varieties.

Their Haugen appearance will afford the most intimate concert opportunity of their tour.

Tickets are sold individually for both shows. Reservations can be made by calling 715-234-5600. Persons with 2013 season tickets to Ceska Opera House events are advised that this program is not covered by those tickets. — from Ceska Opera House

The Blue & The Blond members Vidar Skrede and Jutta Rahmel will be performing at the Ceska Opera House in Haugen Friday, Sept. 13.

Rahmel plays kantele and sings. The kantele is the national instrument of Finland; a harp-like stringed instrument that has deep roots in Finnish folk music. It is estimated to have been in use over 2,000 years. It is often described as having a bell-like sound.

Rahmel, 22, has studied kantele since the age of 4. She has studied folk music pedagogy at Centria University of Applied Sciences in Kokkola, Finland, and is currently working on her bachelor’s degree in Finnish folk music through

Skate park/ from page 1

mittee, headed by volunteers Cody Pearson, Dan Harrington and Eggert, have applied for a Tony Hawk Foundation skateboard park grant. “We will know by August if we will receive the Tony Hawk grant or not,” said Eggert. The Tony Hawk grant conditions are strict. Grants are only given to groups that are in lowincome communities and that can demonstrate a strong commitment to the project through fundraising efforts.

“A quality skateboard park will provide our children with a great incentive to get the much-needed exercise, while still allowing them to socialize with others and have fun doing it,” wrote city of Shell Lake Mayor Sally Peterson in a letter to the skate park committee. In her letter, Peterson acknowledged that the skate park would provide a place for area kids to enjoy entertaining, healthy activities.

“It is a good idea because then people won’t yell at us for skating on the street, and it will be so much safer,” said Haelyn Eggert, 9, Shell Lake.

Currently the skateboard park is planned to become part of the Tiptown park recreational area. The committee is planning on entering a float in this year’s Town and Country Days Labor Day weekend parade with kids on skateboards and bikes to increase community awareness about the endeavor that will benefit many area kids well into the future. “The kids are ecstatic about having a place they can go and hang out with their friends, and they will be in the public eye,” said Eggert.

Shell Lake kids stand in front of one of the vending machines at the Shell Lake park. The kids get 10 percent of the funds from the machines for their skate park. Picture (L to R): Dillon Eggert, Haelyn Eggert, Austin Eggert, Noah Haynes and Austin Reidt. — Special Photo

Start Ahead/Start Here open house to be held at UWBC RICE LAKE — Adults thinking about completing or starting a University of Wisconsin degree are invited to Start Ahead/Start Here, an open house to be held Tuesday, Aug. 13, from 5-6:30 p.m. in Meggers 159 at the University of Wisconsin - Barron County in Rice Lake.

“One in five UW-Barron County students are returning to the classroom to start a new career, advance at work, or complete a personal goal,” said Deb Neuheisel, adult student initiatives coordinator. “They chose UW-Barron County because it is close to home, offers quality instruction, and is the lowest cost education in the UW System.”

Open house guests may tour the campus, learn about FastTrack courses designed for working adults and learn about several options for earning a University of Wisconsin degree. They will be offered a free Myers Briggs Type Indicator career assessment and follow-up and a voucher toward ReFresh workshops to sharpen mathematics and English skills.

FastTrack classes make it possible to attend class one night a week and complete an associate degree in about 2-1/2 years.

Courses are taught in a blended format, combining in-class and online instruction.

Some courses are accelerated and start midterm. This allows students to enroll in selected courses throughout the year.

Courses are both general education and business, including accounting, economics, information systems and general business classes.

Monday Music Minute

by Troy Benham Special to the Register SHELL LAKE — With summer winding down, it is time to start thinking about enjoying the days that are left.

On Monday, Aug. 12, Music and Movie Monday of Shell Lake welcomes to the stage Lonesome Dan Kase and his acquired flavor of finger-pickin’ blues of the early 1900s.

As a teenager growing up in southern Michigan, he would frequently tune in to a radio program favorite, “Blue Cruise.”

Soon thereafter, he became hooked on the country blues. Kase wandered out West, playing his unique brand of blues at cof-

feehouses and drinking establishments before settling in to his home in the Twin Cities. He has a great depth of knowledge of blues history and many great influences throughout the years. His trusted companions are his hand-built Kopp K-35 six-string, and his 1935 National, played bottle-neck style.

So for a blues show to remember and enjoy, come on out to Shell Lake’s beautiful band shell on Hwy. 63 Monday, Aug. 12, at 7:30 p.m., to see the man and his music, Lonesome Dan Kase.

He unexpectedly finds himself on a journey full of adventure, new friends and a life-or-death test he’s sure to fail … come and find out what happens to young Milo. “A Pie-Rat’s Tale” features original music by John T. Prestianni and book/lyrics by Olson. The production at the arts center is directed by Olson, with music direction by Dan Radzikowski, and choreography by Nickie Kromminga-Hill and Olson.

This show would be great for kids ages 4 and up. The public is invited to come enjoy this free performance in the Darrell Aderman Auditorium. For more informa-

SHELL LAKE — The NW Wisconsin Graziers Network and UW-Extension invite you to a unique multienterprise beef pasture walk at the Bashaw Valley Farm owned by Steve, Linda and Alyssa Degner on Saturday, Aug. 24, from 10 a.m.-noon. The Degners are quite diversified and also own the Bashaw Valley Greenhouse, which is located to the front of the farm, seen from Hwy. 63.

The pasture walk will feature rotational grazing of beef cattle, chicken and pig grazing as well as a discussion of the various other enterprises on this former dairy farm.

The farm contains 400 acres of gently rolling grassy fields and woods. The Degners rotationally graze 35 largely black Angus beef cows and 45-plus young stock on about 100 acres divided into 10 paddocks. Beef are grass-fed and organically raised. Almost all of the meat is sold through the farm store.

The Degners are trying to reduce animal carcass size by incorporating Lowline beef genetics. Pasture forages include mostly native grasses with some orchard grass, clover and alfalfa. The system has largely been natural with little additional seeding or tillage, but

Author Michael Perry to visit Spooner SPOONER — Michael Perry, author of “Population 485” and, most recently, “Visiting Tom,” will be in Spooner on Friday, Aug., 9, at 7 p.m. Northwind Book & Fiber will be hosting Perry for the reading and book-signing event. It will be held one block west of the store in Jersey’s banquet room in the Spooner Ice House.

Perry hit the best-seller lists in 2002 with “Population 485,” which is about his experiences as an EMT and firefighter in his hometown of New Auburn. Since then he has written “Truck,” about his year fixing up an old truck, gardening, and falling in love, and “Coop,” the story of his new family and their farm.

On Aug. 9, he will be reading from his most recent book, “Visiting Tom,” which has just come out in paperback. Tom is his octogenarian neighbor, whose family farm was cut in two by the interstate in 1965. Perry visits him in his shop, which he describes as “an antique store stocked

by Rube Goldberg, curated by Hunter Thompson, and rearranged by a small earthquake,” where they discuss life as husbands and fathers of daughters.

The reading will begin at 7 p.m., followed by an opportunity to meet the author and have books signed. Books will

the intention is to include winter rye for spring and fall grazing. Alyssa grazes 50 laying hens on alfalfa and grass, and a half-dozen pigs on radishes and other forbs.

In addition to the greenhouse and store, the Degners run about four acres of organically certified blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and asparagus. There are four greenhouse structures. The Degners own a rental storage company on the property with 90-plus units and lease a number of billboards along the highway. The operation hires an additional six to seven seasonal employees in the summer. The greenhouse and berries generate about 50 percent of the total income and the farm about 25 percent. The Degners plan to address the challenges of direct marketing.

The address is W7402 Fox Trail Road, Shell Lake, 1.5 miles north of Shell Lake and four miles south of Spooner off Hwy. 63. Watch for the sign on Hwy. 63.

Connections For Better Living

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE — Of 141 participants at the first-annual Shell Lake Lions Club Triathlon, held Saturday, July 27, several area residents put their bodies on the line.

Some used the opportunity the race provided as a means to get back into shape.

For some the race was a steppingstone in their athletic career. For others it was a chance to spend time with family doing what they each enjoy.

“I liked it immensely, my goal was to survive and I did,” said Pastor David Frazer. Frazer has been the pastor at the Church of the Nazarene in Spooner for 12 years, and has been an avid runner since 1968. “I thought I would use the triathlon to get in shape,” explained Frazer. Putting in the additional time for the swim and biking segments of the race seemed straightforward for a guy who has participated in over 20 marathons. “Finishing is always a big deal,” stated Frazer. ”For some reason it seems like the older I get the more I appreciate still being able to do those things.”

Frazer’s biggest concern was the swim, but he found reassurance in the clarity of Shell Lake. “I was happy when I saw the bottom,” he acknowledged, laughing.

Overall, participants felt the race was well organized, especially for the first year. “I thought the course was welllaid-out and that it was well-organized,” said Geri Droessler of Hayward. Droessler, who finished fourth in the women’s division, feels that this triathlon was an excellent course for all levels of triathletes.

“This triathlon would be great for starters … it is a short enough distance to where if you are not a great swimmer, biker or runner, you can still enjoy yourself without burning out,” she said. As a veteran triathlete who has competed in 20 triathlons, Droessler gets most anxious about

the layout of the course and the overall support throughout it. All of her worries were put to rest after initial observations of volunteers and support staff. “There were enough people out there to have it run well, and it was nice to have a support team out there,” she acknowledged.

The many race categories afforded more opportunities for different styles of competitors to take part, and for most participants to qualify for an award, if finishing wasn’t already a feat of its own. “I think the best part was that we were able to do it together,” said Dave Henningsen of Rice Lake. Henningsen and his relay team took third in their division. The team was comprised of Henningsen, his son Sam who swam and his father-in-law, Stu Durkee, who biked.

For the all competitors the pristine waters of Shell Lake and the relaxed smalltown setting made the race even better.

The weather, on the other hand, was not a participant or spectator favorite. “It was great except for the weather, but obviously they can’t control that,” said Henningsen, laughing.

Henningsen and Frazer both recommended to those considering doing a triathlon to get some friends or family members to train or do it with you. “Find two teammates that you have fun with,” said Henningsen. “A team is really fun.”

The general desire to compete in next year’s triathlon is already in the cards for many participants. “I would definitely do the race again, and I would tell more people about it,” said Droessler, “…maybe they could have a youth triathlon for the kids.”

For the first year, the Shell Lake triathlon has turned out to be one area event that can only get bigger and better with time.

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

Local emergency teams respond to calls resulting in an average rescue time of less than 30 minutes.

It was one of those sideways things

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — Tansy Pocernich, a 15-year-old girl who is going into her freshman year at Spooner High School, was one of those little girls who was shy.

The youngest of five children, she not only felt shy, she felt talentless. In her own opinion, there was nothing she did particularly well.

An end-of-the-year talent show in fifth grade sent her into a tailspin, wracking her brain as to something, anything she could do. Her mom, Tina, a ventriloquist, suggested she try a short ventriloquist show offering one of her own dummies to use, by the name of Liz. Tansy thought, “Why not? What have I got to lose?”

She only had a few days to prepare and learn which letters to pronounce differently so there would be a minimum of mouth movement. She replaced M with N, P with T, B with D and so on until she had learned to tweak the sounds so they would be recognizable in the dummy’s speech with minimum face movement for her. She was a huge success at the talent show and it was the catalyst for this young girl’s future. Just one month later she entered the talent contest at the Washburn County Fair and won first place.

Now she’s got a business card and a business plan. She’s changed her future plans for education and her once-perceived life’s work to using her God-given talent for ventriloquism. She joined the Spooner Wesleyan puppet team and she now owns four dummies of her own.

Well, actually four established dummies, Liz, Gus, Vern and Molly, but ditsy Lucille Mildred is pushing her way into the act.

Did anyone mention that Lucille Mildred is a 6-foot-tall creation, if you measure her all the way to her dramatic black feather in her head? “I wanted to create a new dummy but I wasn’t sure what she should look like. Just for fun I put a volleyball on top of a beach ball on my bedroom floor and little by little it took the form and personality of an ostrich complete with long eyelashes and large feet.”

Her mom is an excellent seamstress and the entire family has made puppets before, so with Tansy in the lead role, she and her parents worked on ideas that eventually became the latest member of

Other members of Lucille’s fabric family are Liz, Gus, Vern and Molly, each with his or her own personality and story, ready to entertain at private and corporate parties.

Tansy Pocernich and her latest - and homemade - ventriloquist’s dummy, Lucille Mildred.

She’s named after her great-grandmother Mildred Lucille. – Photos by Diane Dryden the cast. Lucille has repurposed fishing bobbers for eyes, striped legs, big feet, a foam-core mouth and delicate pink wings that flap individually or in tandem. It won this 4-H’er both a blue and a purple ribbon this year at the fair.

Because she loves to write, she already has 15 scripts for her fabric family, or could we say, alter egos, that fit their personalities perfectly. She’s still developing Lucille’s persona. “She’s a good singer and bursts out in song occasionally. She’s also a bit shy and definitely ditsy. I’m thinking I might even give her a British accent, I don’t know yet.

“Molly has always been a favorite with kids because she’s shy like many of them

are and she’s also got ADD, which make her a crowd favorite.”

Mom and daughter spent time this July at the Vent Haven Convention in Kentucky thanks to a competition that was running online. Tansy won, so their admission was paid. While there, she met many of her TV idols and was encouraged to ask them questions. She also found material for the completion of the construction of Lucille. Part of the convention was performance-based and twice she took the stage, which resulted in encouragement from the professionals, which she valued highly, to continue honing her already amazing skills.

She shares her gift at nursing homes and assisted living centers. She performed two sessions at a class reunion and many church-related events in the area. She’s looking to expand her career by hiring out for birthday parties and for general entertainment. She may also do something through the local libraries or children’s activities with her 20- to 30-minute skits. Her talent doesn’t stop with ven-

triloquism. She’s tried out for the always popular and professional spring musical at the Spooner school and she’s thinking of a college that has degrees in communications, theater and drama.

And where will this amazing talent take her? “I’d like to work on a cruise ship with a family-friendly comedy act,” she says. “I think it would be the ideal job, work and fun combined.” She’s open to anything that will help her hone her presentation and performance skills.

There are few 15-year-olds that are on YouTube, but she is. She has several performances that can be accessed at Tansy Lou Pocernich and as soon as she and her mom come up with their fee schedule for performances, she’ll be in business, literally.

So what does this formerly shy, talentless young woman think about life now?

“Not only do I love what I do, I want to do it all my life because I love making people happy and this is such a fun way to do it.”

To get in touch with Tansy, call 715-6353119.

Long Lake Chamber of Commerce hosts first pontoon flotilla for record LONG LAKE — The Long Lake Chamber of Commerce held its first-annual Long Lake Pontoon Flotilla on Saturday, Aug. 3, on Long Lake. The event began at noon on the island sandbar across from The Pioneer. The purpose of the event was to establish a Long Lake flotilla record.

It was anchored by a barge furnished

by Dave’s Outboard equipped with the chamber’s 12-foot x 18-foot American flag. Pontoons were required to have four good fenders and four good ropes. Anchors were also recommended. Captains had their choice to tie up on either line from the barge. Pontoons were to remain tied together until the aerial photographs were taken. The record established was 75

pontoons. The flotilla disbursed around 2:45 p.m. “It was great fun and everyone is looking forward to breaking the record next year,” stated a participant. — from Long Lake Chamber of Commerce

Terri Reiter and Anna Brown from the Washburn County Aging and Disability Resource Center had a booth at the health fair. In addition to providing information, they were doing memory screenings.

SHS technician Tim Bassett put the blood pressure cuff on Joey Retzlaff’s arm.

The free blood pressure screening was good news as he has recently had surgery to repair his heart.

Savannah Undem led her little brothers and sister, Severin, Johnny and Tiffany, through the colon tent. They are too young to worry about the future and were just enjoying the day.

Area writers corner The joy of giving names

by Mary B. Olsen During the last few days of July, the world waited on pins and needles for the anticipated birth of a child in England. The royal family was expecting a child to be born to the queen’s grandson, Prince William, and his wife, Kate. The news of the impending birth went global and everyone, or almost everyone, wanted to know if the child would be a boy or girl. Everyone waited; newspeople and hundreds of commentators, and people who like to use their electronic devices and Facebook or twitter, and gamblers who figured the odds and came up with lists of names for the child. If it were a girl, what would it be named? The child was born on July 22 and it is a boy.

The boy left the hospital where he was born and made the journey home, held in his mother’s arms and then actually carried into an automobile in a kind of car seat.

We were all happy to cheer for the baby. The name? With many laying odds, some thought it might be weeks before the name was announced. They were wrong. The name was announced. The child is named George Alexander Louis; three given names for the grandchild of Charles. Why was he overlooked when the family decided on the little prince’s name? Why not name him William or Harry or Phillip? Who knows what kind of thinking goes into this kind of serious decision? This child is heir to the throne. One day, King George will be, in the natural course of things in this world, the king of the United Kingdom.

We have no royalty in this country, but we do have celebrities. Whenever parents choose names for their babies they may follow some kind of family tradition. We still see boys and girls named for their parents, uncles, aunts or grandparents. Sometimes they are given names found in the Bible. This does not seem to be the norm

We might call our kids Sweetie, or Honey, and all sorts of pet names. It’s easy to shorten given names. Since my name is Mary, I am sometimes called Mare. Kind of strange but it happens. Once in a while I was called the old gray mare.

Even our toys have nicknames. We all know Barbie and Ken, Woody and Teddy Bear. Even some of the action figures have pet names, too.

Some families choose names of presidents or other prominent people. They might even name their dogs and horses after them.

There was a time, when I was in second year high school, when a friend brought me a baby pig. It was a newborn and needed personal care. She was sluggish, but I began to bottle-feed her. She needed very frequent feedings. I kept her in a little cardboard box in our bathroom near the register where she was warm.

“What do we name this little piggy?” I asked.

“Well,” my friend said, and grinned. “We could call her Margaret. The boar pig is named Harry Truman.”

After a few days Margaret was scooting around and causing some problems. We had to send her back to her farm home. It doesn’t take very long to fall in love with a pet – a pig or a dog or cat. Even today I can think of little Margaret and remember her snoopy little nose and bright eyes. A pig we named Sweetheart was another pig in my memory, but I think I liked Margaret best.

Coins As you are walking down the sidewalk, are you a person that stops to pick up a lost penny or other loose change that you have spotted? I remember a pastor sharing in a sermon about a guy that at the end of the day had collected an assortment of nails and coins because he spent all his time looking down rather than looking up and appreciating everything around him.

I admit, I will stop and pick up items while walking.

The items may be just something to toss into a nearby garbage can or perhaps a coin or two.

After receiving change back when making a purchase, there are some customers that look through the coins to see if there is perhaps a quarter they are seeking for their collection of state coins.

I am not a person that collects coins. I do have one special coin that a dear neighbor lady gave me for my confirmation in 1975. The coin is a 1921 silver dollar.

In the 2010 movie “Dear John,” based on the Nicholas Sparks book of the same title, the father to the main character is a coin collector. It was by happenstance that he became obsessed with coin collecting. It was when the character named John, played by Channing

Tatum, received a mule coin for change that an interest in coins started. In this movie, the mule coin depicted is a 1978 Jefferson nickel on one side and a penny on the other.

The following information may have shown up in your email inbox. I will share it here for those that may not have heard about the Minnesota quarter.

“Hang on to any of the new Minnesota quarters you may acquire. They may be worth much more than 25 cents!

The U.S. Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the Minnesota quarters, which are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, tollbooths, vending machines, phone booths or any other coin-operated devices.

The problem lies in the unique makeup of the Minnesota quarter, which was designed by a couple of Norwegian specialists, Sven and Ole. Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming up the machines. Uff-da!”

The next outdoor worship service/potluck dinner at Barronett Lutheran will be Aug. 18. If you are not already a member of an area church, this would be a perfect time to stop by Barronett Lutheran to learn a little more about our church, the pastor and the congregation. We’re a friendly lot here, we love to welcome new people, and, of course as I’ve said many times before, we have some really great cooks in the congregation.

Get-well wishes go out to Donna Anderson, who is recovering from surgery. Hope you feel better soon, Donna, Geri Pittman hosted a reunion at her home for her maternal first cousins in July. There were only nine of them originally, two had passed away recently, and one couldn’t make it, so there were six who attended. They didn’t have to travel too far. The longest distance traveled was by a cousin from Grand Rapids, Minn. There was plenty of delicious food, naturally, and they all had a great time reminiscing, eating and laughing.

The friendly neighborhood moocher bumped into Roger Dutilly in town recently and of course, after a few minutes of conversation the subject turned to pies. Roger told Terry that he has made 59 pies so far this summer.

Wow! Terry commented that he hadn’t had the pleasure of receiving a pie from Roger yet, and Roger told Terry that he hadn’t received a request for a pie in writing yet.

Hmmm. Terry told Roger that he would be getting a request in writing soon. OK Roger, please consider this a request from Terry for a pie. Roger asked him what kind of pie he wanted, and Terry said that it really didn’t matter because it’s been so long since he’s had one he feels that he’s wasting away. That must be only in his mind because I’ve seen Terry and, trust me, he doesn’t seem to be wasting away. Anyway, all you pie bakers out there, including Roger, Terry hasn’t had a rhubarb pie yet this year. Hopefully we can get the poor guy fattened up some before winter sets in.

Pat Olson and I went to cheer on the Tri-County Awesome fastpitch softball team again on Sunday evening in Rice Lake. The girls lived up to the “awesome” part of their name again. They swept a doubleheader, with the first game starting at 6 p.m. against Cameron, which they won by a score of 7 to 3. The second game, against Ted’s

Timber Lodge, started immediately after the Cameron game, and the girls won that with a score of 7 to 1. It was, to say the least, awesome. The girls were extremely tired by the end of the second game. They all played well, obviously, but I think Carissa McClain must have been the hero with her fantastic catch of a hard-hit fly ball way out in center field to end the second game.

Danielle Hanson hosted a baby shower for Jessi Anderson at Jessi’s home in Shell Lake on Saturday. There must have been 25 to 30 guests there, and one of them was JoAnne Anderson from Cumberland. We had a really nice visit while the party was going on, and, come to find out, JoAnne is Jessi’s mother-in-law. I’ve known Jessi for about a year, and JoAnne for about 30 years, and didn’t know that. Jessi received lots of cute baby boy gifts, we had delicious food, and everyone had a very nice time chatting and playing with Jessi’s dogs.

I have to tell you, I haven’t been in a very good mood the past few days, and if I’ve been more grumpy than usual with you, please forgive me. Lynn Thon’s kids and grandkids (my grandkids and great-grandkids) decided to pack up and move to Montana — Bozeman of all places. What in the world is in Bozeman, Mont.?

Anyway, the plan was for Scott, Jamie’s husband, to go out there, get a job, find a place to live, and then send for Jamie, Kaitlynn and Jessica. Garett and Kandice were going to go at the same time Jamie and the girls left.

Well-thought-out plan, right? Well, that’s not what happened. They all decided to leave at the same time, so they packed all their things in their pickup trucks and trailers and left Sunday at about 10:30 a.m. They are planning to sleep in the vehicles, with 2-year-old twins along, on the way out, and then get motel rooms until they can find something to rent. I guess I wouldn’t be quite as upset if it was just the adults going, but I’m old and I can’t imagine taking toddlers that far without a more definite plan.

Well, all of my life I’ve heard that God takes care of fools and children, so hopefully they will all be OK. And, to all my friends out there, I’ll try to be a little more civil soon.

Please bear with me.

Our condolences go out to the family of Connie Daniel who passed away on Saturday. Connie was the graphic

artist with fabric for the 9/11 memorial quilt, which traveled on display across the entire country and is now on display at the New York City Memorial Museum. When she was working on the quilt, Connie recruited various women from Barronett to help with the sewing. They met at the community center and there was a film crew from a Twin Cities station filming the activity. Connie was an extremely talented woman, a very nice woman, and she will be missed by all who knew her.

That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you are enjoying the beautiful, cool weather. See you next time.

nowadays. We see children with names invented, and spelled in strange ways. And then a child may be named for a bird or a kind of flower. Autumn and Spring are names of children, but I don’t know if they are male or female names. People in this country sometimes name their children after popular entertainers and sports figures. We may see children named after the prince.

There will probably be products people buy for babies bearing Prince George’s name and advertisements informing us that the royal family approves of the products. This kind of thing has been going on for ages.

The next thing to consider is what will the little child be called? Possibly he will go by one name. Will he have a nickname? Well, Elizabeth was always called Elizabeth. No nickname. Her sister, Margaret, was always just Margaret. Charles was always just Charles. Years ago there was Bonnie Prince Charley. The Charles who is the grandfather of this child may have had unpublicized nicknames. His reputation is a bit cloudy, but I have never heard of him being called Bonnie. The people in England support their royalty and lead more or less public lives. Still the paparazzi follow them.

Here in America many of us give nicknames that fit the child. Like the characters in a story, we may call our children dwarf names. “Why so sad, Happy? Cheer up, Grumpy. Time to get ready for school, Sleepy. Yes you’re a bit Dopey this morning, but Doc can cheer you up.”

Sneezy is still nursing his allergies and Bashful is quietly hoping no one notices him.

“D

ad,” said a small child getting ready for Sunday school, “I want to be just like you.

When will I be old enough not to have to go to church?”

The father blushed with embarrassment and said, “Come on, son, let’s go to church together.”

Most parents are anxious that their children go to church. Unfortunately, many parents do not realize how important it is for them to set the proper example for their children. Going to church is one of the most important examples parents can set for their children. It demonstrates the value and priority they place on worshiping together.

Being a Christian without going to church is like a soldier going into battle without an army or a violinist preparing for a concert without any accompaniment. A family trying to live life without worshiping together is like a ship with no rudder.

The Apostle Paul wisely said, “Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back is drawing near.”

Chippewa Valley Scouts attend National Scout Jamboree WEST VIRGINIA — Fifty youth and adults from throughout the Chippewa Valley Council attended the 2013 National Scout Jamboree. The Chippewa Valley Council serves Scouts from 10 Wisconsin counties: Barron, Chippewa, Clark, Dunn, Eau Claire, Pepin, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor and Washburn.

Located on a sprawling 10,600 acres in West Virginia’s world-renowned adventure sports region known as the New River Gorge, the jamboree took place July 15–24. During the 10-day jamboree, Scouts participated in adventures unlike anywhere else, including more than five miles of zip-line challenge courses, 36 miles of mountain bike trails and 13 acres of shooting sports as well as kayaking, rock climbing, bouldering, skateboarding, BMX and various other activities.

Scouts visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. — Photo submitted

Participants had the opportunity to camp out with friends, meet new people, try high-adventure activities, learn new skills, enjoy the outdoors and have fun in an atmosphere of Scouting fellowship.

Since the first jamboree in 1937, it has become known as the Boy Scouts of America’s most iconic event, providing an opportunity for Scouts to gather together and celebrate Scouting, allowing Scouts from all backgrounds, faiths, and cultures to have experiences and create memories to last throughout their lifetimes.

In addition to attending the jamboree, Scouts traveled to Gettysburg National Park and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Local students attending were Michael Lindau, Birchwood; Jim Springsteen, Cumberland; Trey Matanich, Seph Patefield-Haugen and Sam Perfecto, Hayward; and Brody Waggoner, Minong.

The National Scout Jamboree was held in West Virginia. — Photo submitted

Rain, it’s badly needed here. Showers missed our area when they moved through the region last week, but this week’s forecast sounds promising!

Corn here has tasseled and is trying to make ears. It’s showing a lot of leaf curl and drying on the bottom so it needs a drink really bad right now. The old story goes, July makes the stalk and August makes the ears.

The yellow tansies or button flowers, the yarrow and black-eyed Susan, purple vervain and milkweed are blooming now.

It’s that time of year when all the good, fresh produce is available, either from one’s own garden or at the farmers markets. Folks are also enjoying fresh raspberries and are making jam.

High school football practices have started and also Haugen Fun Days is coming up this weekend.

The Freys, Tim and Alicia, Jim and Lynn, and Jan and Jeff returned from a fun week near Armstrong, Ontario, on a fishing trip. Tim caught a nice one that he was really proud of.

Jim and Kati from the Twin Cities reported to Greg Krantz, while doing some work for them at their place here in Tiptown, that she really enjoys the local news in the paper and reads every column. Thanks for the nice comments, it makes it all worthwhile.

Mary West arrived home from Cheyenne, Wyo., on Tuesday where she has been at daughter Lynda’s since last fall. Lynda took her to the airport in Denver and Sam picked her up in the Twin Cities. She reports it is nice to get back to Sarona. Elfreda West and Ellen Wagner visited her Sunday afternoon.

Sam and Libby DeTrent have been enjoying their little granddaughter, Hazel, from Chicago this past week.

Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson, were here visiting his mom, Virginia, on Saturday.

Jim and Nancy Swanson celebrated her birthday, her 39th she says, by going to the champagne brunch at Turtle Lake Casino.

Dick and Marie King made Jack Pine Savage Days a family event. They were joined by son Jay and his family, Melissa, Jaycee and Zanna and along with neighbors Cindy Bauman and her sister, Sandy.

There were a lot of fun things going on at Jack Pine Savage Days in Spooner on the weekend. It’s getting bigger every year.

Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht coached the volleyball teams on Saturday. Mavis Schlapper, Jan Rath, Marion Rieter and I pitched in the beanbag completion. Janet Zimmerman enjoyed the crafts. There was truly something for everyone.
