Asks for her former job back; outlines her story

by Gary King Register editor SHELL LAKE - Former Shell Lake Public Library director Beth Carlson has filed grievances with the city, saying she was unjustly fired from the position she held for 15 years.

Shell Lake city Administrator Bradley Pederson said Carlson filed two grievances with the city. One grievance alleges mistakes and omitted comments in the July 23, 2012 Library Board minutes. The second pertains to the Library Board’s decision to dismiss Carlson and the letter of termination.

Copies of the full grievances, under advisement of the city’s labor attorney, will not be released to the Register without permission from Carlson, who had not returned messages from the city or the Register as of press time.

Also, there was no information available yet as to how the grievance procedure will proceed.

Last week, Carlson e-mailed information regarding her grievances to the Register. In the outline she sent, Carlson says she wants her job back with a commitment by the library board to “work more openly and collaboratively with

me” to improve the library.

An estimated 25 to 30 Carlson supporters came to city hall Monday evening, Sept. 10, some protesting outside prior to the city council’s regular monthly meeting. Four or five people addressed the topic before the council before discussion was brought to a close by Mayor Sally Peterson after approximately 25 minutes. Those in attendance were informed that the city council cannot act on the matter due to the fact the library board is its own governing body.

The group left in an obvious state of dissatisfaction.

Fliers created by Carlson’s supporters read in part, “In view of pending legal action and possible liability issues, (the council) should take responsibility for the library board discord and remedy the unjustified termination of (Carlson).”

They also are asking the mayor and council to “strongly urge the library president (Mary Dunbar) to resign” and “insist that the library board follow state open meeting laws and required personnel regulations for library staff, evaluation, hiring and termination.”

Dismissal Carlson was dismissed in a 5-2 vote by mem-

Supporters of Beth Carlson rallied in front of city hall Monday evening, Sept. 10, to urge the mayor and city council members to reverse the decision to terminate Carlson, who served as the director of the city’s public library for 15 years.

Raptors on the move at Hunt Hill

Seven-year-old Henry Schmitz got a lot of opportunity to take wildlife photos at the Saturday, Sept. 8, Hunt Hill Cakes at the Lake Mississippi Flyway-Raptors On the Move presentation. This was the last Cakes at the Lake presentation for the 2012 season. The event is hosted by Friends of Hunt Hill and sponsored by the Long Lake Preservation Association.

This juvenile long-horned owl scans the sky after seeing two eagles. Though he has never been in the wild, he knows instinctually that they are his enemy. In this case, the predator can be the prey. When he is full grown he will weigh about 3 to 4 pounds.

Why would I care?

SPOONER - Everyone knows that Alzheimer’s is an old person’s disease.

And being old already, what’s the difference if they lose their memory? They are going to die soon anyway.

According to the Alzheimer’s Organization, that statement about being an old person’s disease is not accurate; early onset, or sometimes called younger onset, Alzheimer’s is on the rise. That means that a woman in her fifties eventually won’t be able to recognize her own husband or children, or a man of a similar age will fail at his job, the one he needs to support his family, due to his inability to connect to the real world or to remember.

In each case, it’s not only the one with the disease that suffers. Yes, there is suffering, and sometimes panic, for an early onset patient when they realize what they are destined to turn into and that there is no cure. There’s dread for the spouses who become the main caregivers as they struggle to still be a parent to their children, take care of the person with Alzheimer’s as well as being the breadwinner.

The thought of Alzheimer’s is frightening. And you don’t have to be old to get it.

Alzheimer’s has no cure and it always ends in death. There is no happy ending, no cure. The caregiver ends up exhausted and guilty because if others haven’t walked in the caregiver’s shoes, they have no idea what goes on behind closed doors; answering the same question 15 times a day, or being on constant bathroom duty

because their family member can’t remember where the bathroom is and decides that any other room will do just as well.

The caregiver’s stress is overwhelming and the day respite programs an answer to prayer, along with the monthly Alzheimer’s support group meetings where everyone knows exactly what you’re going through.

this country who are not only caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, but in those same households, there is someone under 18 living in the home, witnessing the devastating disease firsthand.

Because of that, the Department of Public Instruction has created an Alzheimer ’s mini-unit for Modest support health classes in Alzheimer’s is a grades 8-10.

Half-million-dollar offer to purchase sports complex turned down

SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3

by Jessica Beecroft Register staff reporter SPOONER – The owner of the Northwest Sports Complex has turned down an offer of a half million dollars to purchase the building from Spooner’s Redevelopment Authority.

William “Butch” Johnson has owned the building for 12 years, but is ready to “pull the plug” and close the building’s doors at the end of this month if no one comes forward to purchase it. The asking price is unknown.

According to a spokesperson for the redevelopment authority, the offer of half a million dollars was as high as they would go and still make it work financially. The authority determined paying that amount is the only way they could make any money off the purchase. They are now done and will not make any more offers on

the complex.

The city of Spooner approved on Tuesday, Sept. 4, the creation of a city/county auditorium board. The board is made up of the city of Spooner Mayor Gary Cuskey, Washburn County Board Chair Steve Sather, two members of the county board and two at-large members that have already been appointed by the Spooner City Council.

The board will have the power to issue general obligation bonds and hire management for the complex. Anticipated financial powers given to the board will be to borrow and take donations to purchase the property. So far, the city of Spooner has gathered pledges only toward the Save the Northwest Sports Complex fund in the amount of around $5,000, according to Bill Marx, city of Spooner council member and member of the Washburn County Eco-

nomic Development Corporation.

The Washburn County Executive Committee passed a motion on Monday, Sept.

10, to send to the full county board the motion to concur and adopt the proposed ordinance and create the auditorium board.

Tom Ricci, executive committee member, was not too impressed with the writing up of the documentation and powers given to the committee. “It’s a white elephant,” he said. “Read where it says under the paragraph budget.” He read out loud, “After this determination, the county and the city of Spooner shall respectfully levy a tax sufficient to produce.” He then put the document on the table and stated, “That’s it for me. I’m not going to be any part of that.”

To which corporate council and city of Spooner legal counsel responded that that was not going to happen and it would be taken out.

Washburn County Corporation Counsel Jeff Kohler explained, “The city is not in a position to do it, and the county is not in a position to do it.”

The complex is home to Jersey’s Sports Bar and Grill, the ice arena, banquet center and fitness center. The junior hockey team, the Wilderness, has already left the city of Spooner for Cloquet, Minn. Throughout the 2011-2012 regular season, the Wilderness were consistently ranked in the Canadian Junior Hockey League Top 20 Weekly Rankings.

Tony’s Riverside Restaurant has reportedly offered jobs to bartenders from Jersey’s who are all planning to be finished at the end of the month. According to discussion at the weekly brainstorming meeting group at Spooner City Hall, no one has come forward to lease the restaurant portion of the complex that they are aware of.

Very few people take advantage of this chance to talk to the people who make the decisions affecting their schools. This is a brief guide to the meetings and how residents can take part.

part of the meeting packet. The chair can refer to the item number and title and ask for approval without reading the entire resolution.

There are two resolutions regarding spending and taxes. One supports the budget that was presented at the hearing.

The other provides for the tax levy. The school board still has the power to make changes to these items before a final date in October, but the numbers approved basically determine what you will pay in property taxes to your school district next year.

The electors present also set the salary of the school board members. This figure can not be changed until the next annual meeting.

Electors can also authorize a sinking or reserve fund for future building needs.

This is not a standard resolution but part of “other business” on the agenda. This type of resolution sets an additional amount on the tax statement that is held in a reserve fund for future specific needs.

The Frederic district once drew 300 to 400 people to each annual meeting when this was being considered.

The date of the next annual meeting is also set. There are three options. The electors can call for the meeting to be held on a specific date. They can authorize the school board to set the date. They can take no action, in which case state law requires that the annual meeting is to be held on the third Monday in July. Some people favor a late date for the meeting to allow for completion of the annual audit and information on state aid.

School annual meetings are the only chance for district members to discuss school issues in an open forum. Dates of the upcoming school district annual meetings are below. Contact the district office for time and location.

Monday, Sept. 24: Luck, Frederic, Webster, Shell Lake, Spooner and Turtle Lake.

SHELL LAKE – School officials be monitoring the outcome of an OWI charge brought against the high school’s football coach this past weekend.

Mark R. Lehnherr, 44, Rice Lake, who is also a softball coach and phy ed teacher at Shell Lake Schools, was arrested Saturday, Sept. 8, by the Wisconsin State Patrol - Spooner Post, for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, second offense, with two children under the age of 16 in the vehicle.

Lehnherr was stopped for an equipment violation and expired registration.

He was eventually transported to Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake for a blood draw and then taken to the Barron County Jail.

The children in the vehicle were ages 9 and 7. The traffic stop occurred at 7:41 p.m.

Shell Lake Schools Superintendent Jim Connell said the school board will wait to see what happens before considering any action that may need to be taken under any school policy guideline.

“These are only charges and they will let the court do its job and go from there,” Connell said.

In its press release, the Wisconsin State Patrol asked that readers be advised that a charge “is merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.” - With information from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation

replied they were too busy.”

Dunbar, according to Carlson, also alleged another time card discrepancy.

Carlson, Dunbar noted, recorded she was at work on May 1, 2011, but had overheard a conversation at the front desk that she (Carlson) was not at work that day.

“I reported that I met the Grantsburg and Spooner librarians in Spooner at 8 a.m. and went to a workshop in Ashland,” Carlson said. “In cases such as these, I normally do not record this on a time slip.”

Dunbar was contacted but declined the opportunity to comment for this story.

Carlson said Dunbar became the board president when the previous president moved away in late 2010.

She said from that time on, specifically, she felt like there was a vendetta against her. She filed a hostile working environment complaint, noting the board had created an unpleasant or hostile working environment “due mainly to Mary Dunbar, board president.”

Earlier this year one of the library board members, David Haessig, resigned, saying in his letter of resignation that a few of the board members had a personal vendetta against Carlson and were trying to micromanage the library.

Voting in favor of Carlson’s termination at the August meeting were Dunbar and board members Mitch Fox, Jane Pederson, Mary Sue Kranz and Sara Ducos. Voting against were Sue Hansen and Chris Ottoson.

Have a voice in your school district: annual meetings under way A citizen’s guide

by Gregg Westigard Leader staff writer BURNETT/POLK COUNTIES – School district annual meetings begin this week and continue through the end of October.

Six of the school districts serving Burnett and Polk counties will hold their annual meetings Monday, Sept. 24. That includes the districts of Luck, Frederic, Webster, Shell Lake, Spooner and Turtle Lake. Monday, Oct. 22, is another popular date with meetings being held for the Unity, St. Croix Falls, Grantsburg and Siren districts. Other meeting dates include Amery on Monday, Sept. 17, and Cumberland on Tuesday, Oct. 23. The Clear Lake meeting was held in August.

This is the time when voters can question their school boards and administrators. In addition, they can review the proposed 2012-13 budgets and tax levies and determine the salaries of school board members. The districts prepare very complete presentations about school finance, goals and achievements. Residents can learn about reserve fund balances, enrollment trends and the direction their district is going. And they can have a dialogue with their school board members.

All district residents and taxpayers can take part in these meetings. Many of the meetings start at 7 p.m. at the schools, but residents should check with their district for the exact time.

Wisconsin statutes require that each school district holds a budget hearing and annual meeting sometime between midJuly and late-October. Every voter has the right to participate in the meeting of the district they live in. You do not need to have children in school. The meetings are usually held in September or October to allow the school boards to get the most current budget information on enrollment and state aid.

Budget hearing The first part of the meeting is a budget hearing. This is a meeting of the school board with the board president chairing the meeting. The proposed budget for next year is presented and explained by the superintendent. All electors in attendance can ask questions and make suggestions to the board.

This is a chance for a wide-open discussion on any topic relating to the school and education. People can talk about enrollment, curriculum, salaries, buildings, state aid, testing and taxes. When discussion ends, the board closes this part of the meeting.

Annual meeting The second part of the evening belongs to the voters. The board often moves to the side or into the audience. All people are equal during the meeting.

The first order of business is election of a chairperson for the meeting. Any district resident can be nominated to preside.

The chair of the annual meeting is usually not a board member.

Minutes of the previous annual meeting and treasurer’s and auditor’s reports are presented. These documents are often presented in writing to everyone attending the meeting. It is proper (and saves time) for someone to move to accept each report as written, before the reports are read.

The voters next are presented with a series of resolutions regarding school operations that must be approved annually by the electorate under state law. Some are very basic and include authorization to transport students, operate a school lunch program and furnish textbooks. These resolutions are presented in writing as

Grievances/from page

bers of the library board Aug. 16, following a closed session.

Reasons for the dismissal were not publicly disclosed but Carlson, in her grievances, outlines allegations made by library board President Mary Dunbar following a July 23 meeting of the board.

They include using three-too-many vacation days in 2011, not watching a movie as directed to by the board and an alleged sighting of Carlson by Dunbar which, according to Dunbar, didn’t coincide with what Carlson had written on her time card.

In response, Carlson said she supplied proof that she did not take more vacation days than allotted, that she did watch the movie with two staff members who have attested to that fact and that the last accusation was a misunderstanding.

“The library board president asserted that she saw me drop my child off at school on 2/15/11 at 9:45 a.m. and that I had written on my time card that I was at the library at 8:30 a.m.,” Carlson noted. “A staff member (Alayne Root) replied that

2/15/11 was a Wednesday and that ‘Beth does not start work on Wednesdays until the library opens at 1 p.m.‘ The board president then admitted that perhaps she was mistaken as to the date. (She) asserted that I should fill my time slips out to show when I begin work and when I stopped work. I stated that I fill my time slip out the way Brad Pederson (city administrator) directed me to do 16 years ago. Brad informed me that I am salaried and if I work overtime one day, that I should take time off another day.”

Steps for time slip organization Carlson said the library board, at its July meeting, passed a motion to clarify and organize her time slips to avoid further allegations and said they would talk with the city administrator so that in the future he would receive the information regarding hours he needs and the board would receive what they needed.

“I asked the board if they would sign my time slips so this allegation doesn’t come up again,” Carlson noted. “They

School officials will monitor OWI case

Disagreement Carlson, in a time line of events she created, said she believes the wheels of her dismissal began turning when Dunbar was appointed to the board in 2008 by then-mayor Donna Barnes-Haesemeyer.

According to Carlson, Dunbar had not been very friendly to her (Carlson) since 1998 or 1999 when Dunbar attempted to replace a library book she had lost with a duplicate copy but was told by Carlson that library policy required paying for the lost book.

The Democrats have denied opportunity to the poor and underprivileged. Democrats refused to give the poor and underprivileged a voice. The Democrats created undue hardship and denied the poor and underprivileged access to the political system.

Democrats use comparable slurs to deni-

grate those who support voter ID but see a necessity in requiring an ID for those attending the Democratic convention.

What hypocrites!

My name is Stephen Smith, and I am running to represent our values and priorities in the 75th State Assembly District. I am writing to address a recent incident that unfortunately has distracted from the important issues facing our communities.

There have been a series of letters printed here about the unfortunate and extremely divisive incident that occurred at the Haugen Day parade on Aug. 11. A volunteer for my opponent directed a racial slur toward a man, his family and nearby children who were attending the parade.

An incident like this has no place in our community or this campaign. I had hoped that my opponent would have taken a strong stand against the outrageous action of one of his volunteers. Unfortunately, my opponent’s questionable response to this extreme incident has only further highlighted his continued record of bad decisions and misplaced priorities.

I chose to throw my hat in the political ring because our community needs a leader who can put people before politics and get things done with energy, integrity and common sense. We need someone who honestly represents our values and priorities.

The decisions we make, from responding to incidents like this to voting as a legislator, reveal a lot about personal values and leadership styles.

I stand for creating family-sustaining jobs, investing in quality public education, increasing access to affordable health care, and I will work to preserve and promote vital services. My opponent has caved to extreme and divisive forces. He voted to transfer funding from public education to fund unaccountable private voucher schools; 112 in Milwaukee and 11 in Racine.

Not a one in our district. He also voted to give billions in tax breaks and handouts to huge corporations and special interests.

What we don’t need in our communities, and this campaign, is divisive name-calling, bickering, and empty words of divide-andconquer politics that have become too familiar in Wisconsin. I will stand up for our communities values and priorities with integrity. We can send a message to Madison and the rest of Wisconsin when you vote for and elect me on Nov. 6.

Under the Budget Control Act, most federal programs face an across-the-board cut in January 2013 if Congress does not enact a plan before then to reduce the national debt by $1.2 trillion. Under the Budget Control Act of 2011, sequestration – automatic, across-the-board cuts to both defense and nondefense federal discretionary spending – is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 2, 2013.

However, there is growing pressure to undo the defense sequesters, which would leave nondefense, discretionary programs, which include most skills education and workforce programs, absorbing up to twice as much as the already scheduled $54.5 billion in cuts to such programs. America’s economic future depends, at least in part, on the skills of its workforce. Although policymakers face difficult decisions, our nation must continue to invest in those skills to maintain our competitiveness in the global economy.

Sen. Tom Harkin, chairman, Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, recently released his report, “Under Threat: Sequestration’s Impact on Nondefense Jobs and Services.”

Workforce Investment Act state grants provide employment and training services to low-skilled, disadvantaged and underemployed adults; dislocated workers needing new or upgraded skills; and youth who have dropped out of high school and want to go back to school or enter the labor market. Nationally, 413,546 fewer adults, dislocated workers and youth will receive job training. In Wisconsin, 5,250 less will receive WIA training-related services and in

Northwest Wisconsin, approximately 368 fewer individuals will receive WIA employment services. When added to the 22,039 fewer job seekers served under Wagner-Peyser Employment Service, Wisconsin employers and workers will certainly feel the impact of these cuts.

In the last decade, funding for federal workforce development programs has declined by more than 30 percent, including more than $1 billion just since fiscal year 2010. Similarly, Congress recently enacted eligibility changes to the Pell Grant program that could eliminate access for nearly 150,000 students in the first year alone, while more than a quarter of a million additional students will see their grant awards reduced at a time of rapidly rising tuition costs. These changes will most impact nontraditional students, likely even further reducing access to skills training for working adults.

America’s economic future depends, at least in part, on the skills of its workforce.

Although policymakers face difficult decisions, our nation must continue to invest in those skills to maintain our competitiveness in the global economy. Such cuts are already having an impact. A recent survey of workforce providers found that more than three quarters expected to reduce training as a result of reduced funding levels, and nearly half believed they would have to cut back on services for employers seeking skilled workers.

MADISON – Another case of the mosquito-borne disease called Eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE, has been confirmed, this time in a horse in Polk County. This latest confirmation is prompting another warning from the Wisconsin State Veterinarian’s Office and a health advisory from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Blood samples from a quarter horse were submitted to Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory on Aug. 30 and confirmed Tuesday, Sept. 4. “Vaccinate your horses if you haven’t already, or get boosters for those you vaccinated earlier in the year,” says assistant state veterinarian Dr. Paul McGraw.

Area news

Deperately needed expertise

What a wonderful opportunity everyone has who lives in the 75th Assembly District to vote for Stephen Smith. I am a frequent visitor to the area to visit my mom in Rice Lake. I have known him and the Smith family for years. They were our neighbors. He understands responsibility. Since he was the oldest, he helped his mother with his siblings when his father suddenly passed away at a young age.

He was involved in running the Smith School Bus Company for almost 30 years.

Part of that time, he helped his mother with the company, and the rest of the time he and his wife were the owners.

After this small business was sold, the Rice Lake area was about to lose Rainbow Home Center. Stephen and Christine, along with their partners, invested their retirement savings in Rainbow and saved 50 jobs. He is the majority owner in Rainbow Home Center. Without the Smiths and their partners, the Rainbow Home Center would be cold, dark and empty just like K-Mart on

South Main Street. Smith has always been community minded. He understands what rural northwestern Wisconsin needs.

Part of the reason Smith was a major factor in saving a failing business is his education and degree in accounting. This kind of expertise is desperately needed in dealing with today’s state budget crisis, and it is the kind of expertise the incumbent does not have.

Community involvement; compromise in Madison; equal state aid for all students in Wisconsin; financial security for seniors and middle-class hardworking families; health care for children; and access to affordable health care for all Wisconsin citizens are what Assemblyman Stephen Smith will be fighting for.

He has integrity, experience and values that represent the people. Forward with Stephen Smith.

There are 23 million Americans out of work. Many Americans and our military veterans are homeless. And all Obama cares about is giving amnesty to illegals.

They came here illegally; they worked and never paid taxes and took jobs away from hardworking Americans.

They have no respect for our laws. So Obama bypasses Congress and our immigration laws and rewards his backdoor illegals for breaking into our country. It was reported on the evening news that 70 percent of these illegals are from Mexico. The evening news also reported that one of the most dangerous Mexican drug cartel leaders has a hub in Chicago. Maybe Obama and Rahm Emanuel should worry about protecting our American way of life, instead of worrying about getting all these illegals in here. But then Obama has Secret Service protection, so why should he need to worry about protecting mainstream Americans or our Second Amendment rights? The Secret Service is protecting him and his family.

The only thing that Obama cares about is getting re-elected.

He didn’t worry about all the taxpayer debt he put on Americans when he spent more in one term than Bush spent in two terms, as reported by FOX News.

Obama tries to say the economy is getting better because 96,000 jobs were created.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform reported that 368,000 gave up looking for work, because they couldn’t find a job. Obama’s claims of recovery of the economy are a joke. And how many of those 96,000 jobs are going to Obama’s backdoor illegals? So much for Obama caring about the future of young American workers.

They belong here. Obama’s backdoor illegals do not.

Our nation was built by hardworking Americans who believed in “One Nation Under God” and having “In God We Trust.” We need to get back to those values.

Obama does not have those values. He has done nothing positive for this country. It was the brave Navy Seals that got Bin Laden. And now Obama and Biden are trying to use it for their political gain. We need someone who cares about the American people. That is definitely not Obama and Biden. They only care about what they can do for themselves. We need Romney and Ryan. They aren’t trying to flood our country with illegal immigrants.

Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan took time out of his busy schedule to visit Barron County and to support Congressman Duffy and state Rep. Rivard. All three of these men have served the citizens of northern Wisconsin well.

When I attended the county fair, Congressman Duffy and Rep. Rivard were walking among the crowd, answering questions and defining their political goals for their next term in office. Those goals include continuing to improve the business environment and to lower the unemployment rate below its current 6.7 percent. Fiscal responsibility for both the state and federal government while assuring each child have

access to a quality education are just a few of the promises made to their constituents.

My questions, my concerns and my opinions have always been accepted graciously.

If I call their offices, either they answer the phone or they return my call promptly.

Never have I heard either Duffy or Rivard say a disparaging word about another citizen, their talents or their personal goals.

These two legislators always convey a respect for the ability of every able-bodied citizen to become a contributing member of society.

The Democrats are going after another effective opponent by implementing Saul Alinsky’s 13th rule for seizing power: pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.

Larry Schroeder, your letter has Dan Radley worried that you exposed the flaws in his political stand.

Reading Wisconsin’s voter ID law reveals that seniors in nursing homes and assisted living are exempt from the ID requirement.

To get a Social Security check, one must have a checking account; and to open a checking account, one must have an ID. Colleges provide photo IDs to their students.

The Voter ID law requires each local Department of Motor Vehicle office to provide a free ID to anyone who cannot afford one.

When I stand in line to vote, I see many seniors automatically displaying their ID to the poll workers. Could they have forgotten where they are and think they are standing

in line at the pharmacy, which requires ID to pick up medications? Or perhaps this is an automatic reflex from a retired union member who provided ID to vote in some union elections? Or perhaps they thought they were entering the DNC convention, which required ID from participants?

Radley’s suggestion to ignore voter fraud because it is only .007 of 1 percent of all votes is hypocritical. I bet that Radley would take a different stand if his vote were the one canceled by a fraudulent vote.

Would Radley say that theft is OK if it only happens a little bit? Or telling a lie is OK if no one tells a lie about him or to him?

Rep. Rivard courageously supported voter ID. Radley, the real assault on our republic is voter fraud.

Blood drive in New Welcome to Shell Lake sign replaces faded one Spooner recognizes donors

by Dawn Olson, blood drive coordinator SPOONER — A total of 112 pints of blood were received at the recent community blood drive in Spooner. A record 24 people donated double red cells. A double-red-cell donation is an automated process which separates the red cells, the part of the blood that is in greatest demand after blood loss due to trauma or surgery, from other components and returns the remaining components back to the body.

Special recognition goes to Phil Hedlund who received a 9-gallon pin and Edith Todd who received a 14-gallon pin.

Community volunteers who assisted in the blood drive included Sandy Anderson, Mary Lou Gabriel, Sue Gerberding, Sharon Jerabek, MaryAnn Kies, Mary Kirkwood, Reylene LeRoy, Irene Lindberg, DeAnn McLellan, Joanne Wanek and Dawn Olson, coordinator.

Trinity Lutheran Church provided the building, the Partners of Spooner Health System and Trinity Lutheran prepared and served the staff/volunteer meals, and the Spooner Chamber of Commerce furnished the canteen refreshments.

Travis Adams, Red Cross staff team leader, said, “It is a pleasure to have drives in Spooner. Everyone is nice and grateful. We couldn’t do it without all of you and your volunteers help.”

September is Preparedness Month

What if today was the day before a disaster?

MADISON — ReadyWisconsin urges everyone to take just a few minutes to talk about preparing for emergencies. September is National Preparedness Month. Think about this … what if you knew that today was the day before a disaster? What would you do?

How would you get ready?

ASHLAND — September is Workforce Development Month in Wisconsin. To celebrate this month and recognize the success of workforce staff, customers, partnerships and collaborative efforts, Northwest Wisconsin Workforce Investment Board and Northwest Wisconsin Concentrated Employment Program Inc. are hosting an open house in Hayward at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College campus on Friday, Sept. 14, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

cess to local businesses such as gas stations and supermarkets, and other needed services. Preparing can start with three important steps: Get an emergency supply kit; make a plan for what to do in an emergency; and be informed about emergencies that could happen in your community and identify sources of information in your community that will be helpful before, during and after an emergency.

The ReadyWisconsin Web site has more information on how to make an emergency supply kit on a budget, tips for creating your own emergency plan and commonly asked questions and answers about preparedness. Just go to readywisconsin.wi.gov.

String musicians needed

RICE LAKE — Red Cedar Symphony Orchestra invites area string musicians to rehearsals for its upcoming fall concerts. Concerts will be presented on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 7:30 p.m., at the Ladysmith High School auditorium, and Sunday, Nov. 4, 4 p.m., at UWBarron County Fine Arts Theatre. The orchestra is under the direction of Josh Aerie, now in his fifth season.

Red Cedar Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1983, is a community orchestra of volunteers from a 50-mile radius of Rice Lake.

String musicians may call 715-234-9755 for more information. A limited number of openings for woodwinds, brass and percussion may be available also. — from RCSO

Walking with a cause

aturday, Sept. 15, will be a day for area residents to walk with a cause. I am aware of two walks taking place that day in Spooner. A pet walk for the Washburn County Area Humane Society will begin with registration at 10 a.m. at the Washburn County Fairgrounds. The walk will benefit the animals that receive care at the local animal shelter. Registration for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s begins at 9 a.m. at the Cornerstone Church with the walk at 10 a.m.

Many residents participate in the all-night Washburn County Relay For Life walk held annually on the first Friday of June in Shell Lake. Hubby Milt and I have participated in this event.

Back in the late 1990s, Milt and I participated in what was then called the Great Walk for Life held in Frederic. This was a walk for the American Cancer Society. As with most awareness walks, participants receive a T-shirt showing they have participated in walking and raising funds for the cause.

On a recent trip to the North Shore, Milt was wearing a T-shirt that read, Great Walk for Life, Vote No To Cancer, American Cancer Society. We stopped at a fast-food restaurant for

lunch. On that particular day, most of the workers behind the counter were senior citizens. One of the grayhaired ladies stared at Milt for a moment and then commented that she sure liked his shirt before stepping around the counter to give Milt a big hug. I think I was taken off guard more than he was. She went on to say, “Thank you! I am a 16-year survivor of ovarian cancer.” Milt is a person that truly enjoys talking with people, so as the three of us were standing in front of the counter talking, another lady that was eating in the dining area, joined us. She too had a hug for Milt and the lady we were visiting with. She told of how she was a 21-year survivor of kidney cancer. She went on to share that she was now raising two grandchildren because her daughter was a victim to cancer.

Cancer is a disease that has touched everyone in some way, whether it is themselves, a family member or someone they meet in their daily routine.

This may also be true concerning Alzheimer’s.

If you don’t have other plans for this Saturday, perhaps you would like to take a walk with a cause to raise awareness and funds for organizations that benefit members of the community.

Wasps and bees active this time of year

SPOONER — A sure sign of fall are the shortening days and the increased appearance of wasps and bees at outdoor activities or in our homes.

Wasps and bees are beneficial insects, although generally considered pests because of their ability to sting.

People often mistakenly call all stinging insects bees.

While both social wasps and bees live in colonies ruled by queens and maintained by workers, they look and behave differently. It is important to distinguish between these insects because different methods may be necessary to control them if they become a nuisance.

Wasps have a slender body with a narrow waist, slender, cylindrical legs, and appear smoothed-skinned and shiny. Bees are robust-bodied and very hairy compared with wasps. Their hind legs are flattened for collecting and transporting pollen.

Wasps are predators, feeding insects and other arthropods to their young, which develop in the nest. They are beneficial because they prey on many insects, including caterpillars, flies, crickets and other pests. During late summer and fall, as queens stop laying eggs and their nests decline, wasps change their food gathering priorities and are more interested in collecting sweets and other carbohydrates. Some wasps may become aggressive scavengers around human food and may be common around outdoor activities where food

T

or drinks are served.

Bees feed only on nectar (carbohydrates) and pollen (protein) from flowers. Honeybees sometimes visit trash cans and soft-drink containers to feed on sugary foods.

Numbers of either found indoors indicates a nest in a wall or attic. Yellow jackets are the most common, but only honeybees can survive the winter. If you have a swarm of honeybees, find a local beekeeper to come and collect them.

The first step in wasp or bee control is to correctly identify the insect and locate its nesting site. An experienced pest control service may provide wasp or bee control service or you can use the following information to attempt to control them yourself. To ensure control, homeowners must first walk around the outside of the building and find the nest opening. Sprinkle dusttype insecticide into the opening at 8 p.m. Do not plug the opening until you’re sure they are gone. The nest must be found in order to control these pests.

Kids say the darndest things

niece will gladly point at any blemish or pimple on my face and ask, “What’s that on your face? Is it an owie?”

They will also say anything or ask anything about a stranger while we’re in public, and quite loudly too.

They’ll say things like, “What’s wrong with that man?”, “Look at that girl’s crazy pants!” or “Why is her hair so weird?”

One of my favorite shows, now no longer running, was “Kids Say the Darndest Things” with Bill Cosby.

In one session, the children were asked about their opinions on love and marriage. One little boy, age 7, said, “If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” Another little boy, at only age 5, was determined to get hitched and find the love of his life, “Once I’m done with kindergarten, I’m going to find me a wife.” One boy was asked for a strategy to make people fall in love with them and he thought for a moment and said, “Tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy stores.” For advice about love for husbands, one 8-year-old girl named Erin said, “Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never took out the trash.”

Kids may say the darndest things, or scream things in public that you don’t want anybody to overhear like about their bodily functions or about how ugly the man sitting next to you is, but if you listen to what they have to say, there may be some good advice to adhere to. After all, I was once told by a 5year-old, after asking her what I should do with my life, that I should “Share my life, and share it with the person I love the most.” And to me, that has been the best piece of advice I have received so far.

SOUTH DEWEY COMMUNITY PICNIC & CLAM RIVER CEMETERY FUNDRAISER AUCTION Saturday, Sept. 15

Held at: Dennis & Kerry Swan’s 22421 Spring Lake Rd.

569508 4rp

oday as I lugged around a 50-pound backpack filled with thick books – “Collected Poems of W.H. Auden” being my largest – and a laptop to boot, I swung by my P.O. box on my way to a meeting with a professor. I heard a high-pitched voice, an innocent voice – the voice of a small child. He was talking to an adult that worked in the campus post office, with his father by his side. “I have flip-flops on today!” he exclaimed. “And you know why they’re called flipflops?” The adult acted baffled. “It’s because when I walk they go, ‘Flip, flop. Flip, flop. Flip, flop.’”

I chuckled to myself as I bent down to work the combination on my tiny P.O. box. The child reminded me of another child I met in passing during a short stop at a Wal-Mart a few days ago. I was waiting outside the rest rooms for someone, and the little girl was waiting patiently on a bench for her parents as they bought their items.

“Hello!” she looked up at me with warm brown eyes and a bright smile.

“Hi,” I said back with a smile.

“It’s hot out today isn’t it!?” she continued.

“Yes, it’s a beautiful day.”

She ignored my comment and said, “I had pants on this morning, but it was so hot I had to change into these shorts! See? They’re purple – my favorite color.” I laughed and shared that purple was my favorite color too. She merely smiled and wrung the purple fabric in her small childish hands.

Truth is, I think the reason why I like kids so much is because they’re like mini adults, just more curious, and much more honest. My

style canoe races and games such as the blind canoe race. The blind canoe race consists of a blindfolded paddler taking direction from their partner through a short course for time, often with very entertaining results for the onlookers. Near the water’s edge another popular voyageur game of cat and mouse will test the strength, balance and finesse of those who wish to give it a try. All will be great fun for young and old alike. The on-water activities will conclude just before dinner when all participants will be asked to assemble and prepare for a paddle-by parade of classic canoes. Period costumes and canoes are encouraged but not required to enjoy this leisurely evening activity. The audience on shore will be treated to narrative descriptions of the passing boats and their occupants, and a grand prize will be awarded to the best of show.

The Washburn County Leisure Lake Camp is located about 12 miles north of Spooner. Go north on CTH K for four miles, then west on CTH E for two miles, north on Leisure Lake Road for 3.7 miles, and east on Leisure Lake Road for one mile.

This is a fundraising event for the WCHM. Dinner space is limited and advanced reservations are recommended by contacting Jed Malischke at 715-6352479 or jed@WisconsinCanoeHeritage Museum.org.

Upgrades sought

MINONG — The village of Minong is seeking approval from the Department of Natural Resources to upgrade its existing wastewater treatment facility.

The village’s treatment facility is currently more than 30 years old and has historically performed adequately and complied with DNR discharge permit standards. However, the existing wastewater treatment is at capacity, and several of the treatment process components need replacement or upgrading. A local meat processing business, Links Snacks Inc., is proposing to increase their amount of wastewater sent to the treatment facility to accommodate a planned expansion of their production facilities in the near future.

As a result, the village is requesting DNR approval to address the aging system and to provide additional treatment capacity for the projected increase in the wastewater loadings from Links Snacks along with marginal reserve capacity for potential future population growth.

The recommended project will include installation of a new standby emergency generator unit at the influent wastewater pumping station, replacement of the aeration system and installation of floating baffle curtains within the two existing aerated treatment lagoons to maximize the overall treatment capacity and reliability of the existing treatment system, replacement of one existing aeration blower unit along with associated improvements to the blower building and installation of a new treated wastewater pumping station. A new supplemental aerated treatment lagoon may also be constructed in the future as part of a second phase to the proposed project if ultimately deemed necessary to treat the projected increased loadings from Links

Snacks. The treated wastewater will continue to be discharged to the groundwater primarily via the existing large seepage pond at the site. A portion of the treated wastewater will also be conveyed from the large seepage pond to the two inactive seepage ponds at the site via the new treated wastewater pumping station.

The estimated construction cost for the project is $1.7 million with annual operation and maintenance cost of $188,500.

The village will seek financial assistance through the state’s Clean Water Fund program and federal Community Development Block Grant program. The estimated user charge for the average residential customer resulting from the project is expected to increase from the existing rate of $9 per month to approximately $14 per month based on the project costs and proposed financing arrangement.

A preliminary environmental review for the proposed project has been completed, and the DNR has determined an environmental impact statement will not be required. While this type of action normally does not involve significant adverse environmental effects, the DNR is soliciting public comments regarding potential impacts associated with the proposed project.

Comments can be directed to Steve Smith at DNR (WT/3), P.O. Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707-7921, or e-mail Stephen.smith@wisconsin.gov or by calling 608-266-7580. Comments will be accepted through Monday, Sept. 24.

Based on comments received, DNR may prepare a formal environmental assessment before proceeding with approval or denial of the proposed project.

The analysis would summarize DNR’s consideration of the potential impacts of the proposal and any reasonable alternatives. — from WDNR

My kids are enjoying all the perks of rural life, having added to the horse and cat population on my parents farm. It’s the simple things that make us most happy. Having lived in other areas of the country, I’ve realized there is no better place to raise a fam-

Cross-country season is picking up

SHELL LAKE — The season is well under way for the Shell Lake cross-country team. “We have had one meet a week for the last three weeks, and now the season is picking up with two meets a week,” commented coach Katrina Granzin.

This week, the Lakers competed in Rice Lake on Tuesday, Sept. 11, and will be in Frederic on Thursday, Sept.

13. Next week, they will travel to Barron on Tuesday, Sept. 18, and Unity on Thursday, Sept. 20.

At the meet in Bruce on Tuesday, Aug. 28, Andrew Martin was the closest to placing for Shell Lake by crossing the finish line .7 seconds behind 10th place.

There were over 20 teams represented with around 120 runners in both the boys and girls high school races and 70 runners for each of the middle school races.

“When I looked at the athletes improvement from the last year and from the last meet, I was very proud of the effort they put in as each one improved and many improved by over a minute,” praised Granzin.

The cross-country meet in Webster on Tuesday, Sept.

4, was a small meet of five teams giving students a chance to push themselves and do well. Placing for Shell Lake were Lauren Osborn, sixth with a time of 24:31.1; Nicole Mikula, ninth with a time of 13:51.5; Martin, fourth with a time of 11:37.1; Nathaniel Swan, fifth with a time of 11:39.6; and Linden Nelson, 10th with a time of 11:49.3. — with information from Shell Lake Athletic Department

by Larry Samson WEBSTER — Shell Lake traveled to Webster on Friday, Sept. 7, for their second conference game and came away with their second loss of the season. It was a tough loss for the small, young team as they watched the game slip away in the second half.

Webster came out in their first series and marched the ball downfield, capping the drive off with a 10-yard pass from Webster quarterback Alex Spafford to Alex Hopkins. The two-point conversion was good and Webster led 8-0. Shell Lake answered back with an 8-yard AJ Denotter touchdown run. The drive had started on the Lakers 24-yard line and showed that the Lakers could move the ball. With 3:33 left in the first half, the Tigers scored after a long drive on an Aaron Dietmeier touchdown run and they were stopped on the two-point conversion. On the kickoff, Denotter ran it back 75 yards to bring Shell Lake within two points of tying the game. The Laker defense got tough and forced Webster to punt. Starting out deep, Denotter ran 57 yards to put Shell Lake in scoring position. With no time left, Shell Lake tried a 27-yard field goal. With Wyatt Carlson kicking, the ball bounced off the cross beam inches short, and Webster went into the half with a slim 14-12 lead.

extending their lead with an 80-yard Dietmeier kickoff return, making the score 20-12. Webster got the ball back when they recovered the ball on an onside kick.

Webster moved the ball downfield and scored again with just three minutes into the second half. Shell Lake scored late in the third quarter when quarterback Sam Livingston crossed the goal line on a keeper. With the extra point good, it was 26-19. Webster answered back with a quick score to put the game away. Webster scored in the fourth quarter as did Shell Lake on a long drive that ended with an 18-yard Carlson touchdown run.

Jesse Siebert scored on the two-point conversion on a short pass from Livingston.

Shell Lake will host Cameron on Friday, Sept. 14, with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

It was kind of chilly on Sunday. More like fall. And speaking of fall, I see our leaves are turning more and more.

Whether it’s due to the drought and no water is a guess. The soybeans and corn are all dry now, probably due to the drought. Maybe our corn needs a shot of water?

Last Sunday found Rory and myself driving to see Penny and Jeff Ladd, Rem, Ry and Ree. Also coming there was Paula and Kenzie Cramer. We froze 40 quarts of tomatoes and we also celebrated Paula’s birthday. It was a wonderful and enjoyable day.

Friday, Sept. 7, found Penny and her son, Remington, out bear hunting. That young man, Rem, used his grandpa’s 3030 and got a bear. He was so excited and so was Penny, and of course, his pa, Jeff, was thrilled. Good for you Rem, as you’re only 10 years old and you’ve already got a bear!

See some farmers have now completed their fourth crop of hay and maybe if the weather holds, they’ll get a fifth.

Sept. 5, son Richy suffered a tragedy.

Yes, his house burnt. I understand he was soldering something in his basement and it caught fire. He didn’t get much out, only some of his animals he had made up, his deer horns, and I think most of his guns. He also got out his dining room chairs but not the table. The St. Croix Fire Department and the Shell Lake Fire Department were called but the home was a total loss. I’m sure Richy will start over as he has to have a place to live. He had a beautiful home and such a bunch of animals he’d gotten.

Friday morning, Diane Hulleman met Nancy Murray, Ginny Schnell and onward to Colleen Jensen and Jackie Perlot and the five drove to the Twin Cities and to Red Wing for Diane’s birthday, which was April 20. Diane loves antiquing and so do her girls, so I hope they had lots of fun.

Sympathy to the family of Don Taylor, 89, who passed away Aug. 27. Funeral services were held Aug. 30.

Suddenly daylight is noticeably slipping away, about three minutes a day are lost.

Flocks of geese are honking early in the morning. I have about 100 on my backyard pond at this writing. Also crows have flocked and are cawing away in a loud chorus for a week or more. They like the hayfield where they just put up the fourth crop. Fuernot Farm got the corn silage chopped, in the bunker and covered this past week, so the geese and crows are working those fields.

The soybean fields in our area have turned to golden and combining them will be much earlier this year.

Al and Brenda Zaloudek greatly enjoyed a 10-day air and land Alaskan cruise with their kids, Dave and Connie Zaloudek and daughter Amanda, Melissa Petz, and Dawn and Jim Raymond. They report it was an awesome trip of a lifetime.

Sympathy to the family of Gerry Baker, 85, whose funeral was Wednesday, Sept.

5, at Trinity Lutheran in Spooner. She lived her life to the fullest, a teacher, a volunteer, great mom and neighbor with a giving heart. She will be remembered for her many years writing the Madge news column in local papers.

Elfreda West and I visited Evie Campbell Tuesday evening after attending Gerry’s funeral visitation. Then we went and ate out together and enjoyed a great visit.

Greg and Sue Krantz had the family over for dinner with grilled chicken, sweet corn and all the good garden vegetables, with Matt and Christi and kids from Chippewa Falls, Ericka and friend and kids Lainy and Chane, Kathy Dahlstrom, Vicki Zarado and also his mom, Mary Krantz. Weather was nice and they had a really nice time.

Keith and Dee Dee LeMoine, Marquette, Mich., were here on the weekend

Timberland Ringebu Free Lutheran Church holds ground breaking for new addition

The bell announced that services are about to begin for the last time that morning as it will be taken down and not placed back in the steeple. A parishioner stated, “We just don’t know exactly how it will be used in the future, but with the heritage and history we will utilize it, some way, in the future. Our invitation goes out to everyone that may want to see our progress or attend a service where the love of the Lord is present.”

Members of the Timberland Ringebu Free Lutheran Church held a ground breaking for an expansion of the current sanctuary on Sunday, Sept. 2.

expansion project by Arthur (Bud) and Jerry Hoekstra allowing members a visual perspective of what the church will look like when the project is completed.

He builds scale model replicas for railroad displays, so it has a lot of fine detail.

The bell was placed in the tower in 1915, with men hoisting it up with ropes and strong determination back then. In the early days, the bell was rung at a certain time to let the community know that church was definitely going to be held that day, and then people would walk or ride their buggy/sleigh to the service.

The congregation has been growing in weekly attendance, on occasion requiring chairs to be placed in the aisles, so the need was obvious. “This addition should be adequate for the present time, until the Lord blesses us with a greater growth than what we are planning for right now.

We welcome anyone that is in the area looking for a church to attend, those who believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and visit our Sunday worship service at 9:30 a.m.,” stated a member of the church.

by Wayne Romsos TIMBERLAND — The church bell rang out long and loud on a cool crisp Sunday morning, Sept. 2, where the Timberland Ringebu Free Lutheran Church later celebrated a ground breaking for an expansion of the sanctuary. The steps and some siding have already been removed in preparation for the actual construction. The expansion project will increase the seating capacity by 40-45.

The congregation looks forward to the project being done before December.

Prior to the original church sanctuary, which was built in 1909, services were held in the grade school nearby, with pastoral needs being met from Cumberland. Then, largely by community church members, the church was built.

Many grandparents of current members were part of the original crew that built much of the structure. A craftsman that lived nearby built the altar, kneeling rail, baptismal font and pulpit. This church served the needs of the community for many years. Various improvements were made through the years such as stainedglass windows, foyer upgrade and new siding. Then in 1995, a fellowship hall was added consisting of Sunday school classrooms, running water for rest rooms and a kitchen.

Barronett by Sharai Hefty

Well everyone, here I go again. It’s few and far between, to which I know you’re all saying, “Thank goodness!” but Judith has asked me to do this for the next couple of weeks. As she told you in last week’s column, she, her sister Pat Olson, our cousin Sue Meyer, and a friend of Sue’s (and I know the rest of our family too, given the chance) Diane, all left last Wednesday morning. They took the old adage “go West young man” and jazzed it up a bit. Instead of a young man, it’s four slightly-older-than-young women who still act very young. Instead of a horse or covered wagon, it’s a borrowed motor home. Instead of moving to the West, they are only visiting the West Coast and friends and family. At least I think they’re only visiting … who knows, they get out there and they may decide they like it too much to come home! One way or the other, I hope they have an absolutely wonderful vacation.

Speaking of trips and visiting, Anitia Lehmann caught me in church this morning to let me know she had some news for the column. Thank you Anitia, because this could be one of the shortest columns the papers have ever gotten. Then again, I’m writing, and I think I’m the only person worse at being long-winded than Judith. Anyway, Anitia and Penny Sundvall went out to Portland, Ore., last week to visit with Anitia’s son, Randy, and his

friend, John Libra. They spent six days with them, so they were able to do some sightseeing while they were there. They got to see Mount Hood, went along the Columbia River Gorge, and then saw Multnomah Falls. Anitia said the falls were absolutely beautiful. They also went to the Oregon coast to Cannon Beach. On the last day they went to the vineyards in Dayton, Ore., and visited the wineries.

She didn’t say how much taste-testing she and Penny did though. Needless to say, they had a fantastic time and Anitia said Randy and John were the perfect hosts.

Anitia helped me out a little more with news that she and Don went to Heidi and Cary Diesterhaft’s for DaShaun Ames’, Don and Anitia’s grandson’s, 10th birthday party. They had a great day for a party. The guests included Gary and Cheryl Lehmann, Aaron, Erin and Miles Lehmann, Marguerite Anderson (DaShaun’s other grandma), and Marie, Jolene, Lia and Kaira Anderson. I called Cheryl Lehmann to check on the spelling of names and she said they had a veritable feast. BBQ, tuna salad, pies, and of course cake and ice cream. I’m sure Don and Gary ate far too much! I also understand DaShaun received many fantastic presents, so he got spoiled perfectly for the typical 10-year-old. Happy birthday from all of us too, DaShaun.

Pat Sweet also wanted me to tell every-

Roger and Sue Mroszak went to Rice Lake Tuesday and met their friends Don and Pat Stelli for lunch there.

Clam River Tuesday Club met Sept. 5 at the home of Dixie Andrea. The members enjoyed a potluck lunch before their meeting. During the meeting, much of the discussion concerned plans for the fall fundraiser. It will be held Saturday, Oct. 13, from 6 to 10 p.m., at the Indian Creek American Legion Hall. There will be dancing to music of Mr. Morgan, silent auction, paddle-board items, live auction, door prizes, raffle of quilt and matching shams (first prize) and two cash prizes, special raffle of a Green Bay Packer 2012 signed football, and lunch.

Entrance fee is $5, with those 16 and under free. All are encouraged to come and enjoy the evening. The next club meeting will be Oct. 3 at 12:30 p.m., at the home of Beth Crosby, who will pro-

vide the lunch.

Visitors of Nina and Lawrence Hines Wednesday and Thursday were Dean and Lorraine Kendall from Milaca, Minn.

Don and Eunice Quam from New Ulm, Minn., were overnight guests of Sue and Roger Mroszak Thursday and Friday.

Dave and Patty Close were Saturday visitors of Karen and Hank Mangelsen.

Jan and Hannah Schott visited Lida Nordquist Sunday afternoon.

Karen and Hank Mangelsen went to Timberland Lutheran Church Sunday afternoon. They attended the celebration in honor of Margaret and Bruce Madison on their 50th wedding anniversary. Later Wayne and Marie Romsos came to Hank and Karen’s home to visit and they enjoyed supper together.

day so nice.

Pat also told me they had a wonderful visit Sunday with their grandson, Justin Grensing. She said that Justin is always so busy either farming or working at Walmart that this was a special treat. One more tidbit about the Sweet family, just before church, Pastor Todd Ahneman handed Doug some laminated pictures from the Web he had printed off the computer for Doug. They were nifty photos of Doug’s brother, Air Force Capt. Robert Sweet, and his plane, an F101 Voodoo. It seems that Capt. Sweet broke the record for the flight named Operation Sun Run See Barronett news, page 18

What nice weather we’re having … cool nights and sunny days. I’m sure most people have a lot of their gardens in for freezing or canning. The sweet corn has been delicious as well as the watermelons and muskmelon. Fall is definitely here.

I missed one thing for my news last week. Judy and Myron Bolterman went to the Fort Collins, Colo., to visit their son Mike from Wednesday to Monday.

While visiting, they took a five-hour drive to Grand Junction. There they picked up some fruit. They had free stone peaches, which they hadn’t had in a long time.

This weekend, Chuck and Mary Campbell of Appleton were at Judy and Myron’s while taking care of business in Spooner.

On Labor Day weekend, church services were held at the beach with Salem Lutheran as host. Four pastors of the local parishes took part, and a good crowd was in attendance.

Last Monday, Wendell Lee Turpin and son Shawn of Whiting, Ind., stopped to see me and brought me some produce from his garden.

Brent Pederson of Minneapolis, Minn., spent the weekend with his dad, Jeff, and helped him with some work.

Monday at noon, Gloria (Gronning) Ogelvie of Ontario, Ore., visited here with Ruth Swan and Helen Pederson.

She came to attend her 60th class reunion at the Lakeview Bar and Grill on Tuesday afternoon and evening. She is the daughter of the late Gerhart and Agnes Gronning and granddaughter of Anne

and Bernard Gronning, who lived in the stone house on Hilltop Road. Rick and Adam are now living there. Our land connected to theirs.

Milton Odden of Rice Lake moved in the Glenview last Tuesday. Ruth Swan is also a tenant here. We welcome both of you.

On Thursday afternoon, Charlotte Thompson came and visited me and we had a nice visit.

Happy birthday to Jean Tully on Sept.

3. She and her sister, Eileen Giddings, went out to eat together to celebrate.

Abner Odden of Cumberland and his daughter, Barb Weber, of Denver, Colo., visited with me (his sister) on Tuesday.

Jean Odden and her daughter, Kathy Granzin, of Park Falls, who were visiting Milton, also came over to see Abner and Barb at my apartment. We all enjoyed coffee together.

Arlys Santiago picked up her sister, Audrey, Sunday afternoon and they traveled to Verndale, Minn., to visit their sister, Avis Paulson for a few days.

Greg Odden picked up his dad, Milton, on Sunday to bring him to church in Timberland. That was our home church as we grew up.

John and Mary Marshall visited friends in Hudson and helped them reroof their house. Then on Sunday, they visited Sara and Kyle Mathison at their home in Cumberland after they had returned from a honeymoon cruise to Alaska. That had to be a beautiful trip.

Even if a farmer intends to loaf, he gets up in time to get an early start. Have a good week.

one she has some very dear, dear sisters.

She and her sisters, Carol Johnson and Sandy Chartrand, Rice Lake, and Janice Sutherland, Shell Lake, all went to Rice Lake about two weeks ago for a belated birthday celebration for Pat whose birthday was in July. Her sisters took her to Applebee’s for a wonderful meal and then on to The Northern Star Theater Co. to see the play “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” Pat wanted to make sure this got into the paper because she wanted her sisters to know how much fun she had and how much she appreciates them. So thank you to Carol, Sandy and Janice for making Pat’s belated birth-

SPOONER — On Thursday, Aug. 23, Spooner Golf Club recorded the seventh hole-in-one of the year.

Member Larry Alt aced the par-3 second hole, which measures at 135 yards, using a 6-iron.

On Saturday, Sept. 8, Mary Jo Link recorded the eighth hole-in-one of the year, acing the par-3 second hole, which measures at 123 yards, using a 7-wood. — from SGC

where he flew from the West Coast to the East Coast and back again. He made the flight in better than 6 hours and 42 minutes. The record had previously been held by a Naval airman, which is a true rivalry between Air Force and Navy. The even more interesting fact for us laypeople is the fact that the Naval airman was none other than John Glenn, the astronaut, the senator. How about that?

We have royalty in our midst. We’ll have to start calling Doug “the Sweet Prince.” I thought it was cool that his brother broke the record, but then to find out that the record had been John Glenn’s before that, wow!

Now I have to correct some of Judith’s comments from last week’s column. She told everyone that the judging for the Barronett Best Bakers Contest was on Sunday, Sept. 16. First, they are now calling the contest Barronett’s Best Cooking Contest, and second, the judging will be held on Saturday this year instead of Sunday. So all of you fantastic cooks must get your entries and recipes in to the community center between 1 and 3:30 p.m., on Saturday, Sept. 15. This change has caused a few mishaps this year already, so I might have to talk to Cheryl Jaastad, or whoever changed it. The other thing I need to correct from Judith’s writing about the Colorfest is that the neighborhood moocher, Terry Goodrich, will not be able to be our third judge. This really broke Terry’s

heart. He was very upset that it was on Saturday, because he won’t be able to attend on Saturday; he has prior commitments. It also put me on the spot to find another judge to take Terry’s spot. Thank goodness I thought to call Jeno Herman as I passed by Bistro 63 this weekend. Jeno said he would be happy to help out, so I want to thank him again for being so nice as to fill in on such short notice!

One other thing about the Best Cooking Contest, the neighborhood moocher also informed Judith and I that all of us who enter the contest may have a run for our money this year, especially if Marcie Knowlton enters.

Apparently Terry knows something Judy and I don’t.

Sounds very interesting though. I hope Marcie does enter. We welcome the challenge and if Marcie does win, we will take defeat very gracefully. When she goes up to collect her blue ribbon, we’ll just take the cake knife and flatten her tires, I’m kidding. Please don’t be frightened of me Marcie, I just toss around a little frosting now and then. Actually if I take second, or third, or if I don’t even get into the top 10, that’s OK. That means I have no place else to go but up next year.

Don’t forget to join us this coming weekend, Sept. 1416, for all of our fun and fantastic events at the Barronett Colorfest. Judith named most everything and told you

all to look for the posters and flyers around the area. Remember, it begins Friday at 4:30 p.m. and goes all weekend. Join us for church at the community center at 9 a.m.

Sunday morning, stay for fresh homemade cinnamon rolls at 10 a.m., then enjoy our old-time Sunday dinner at 11:30 a.m., we like to eat a lot, and all the other wonderful happenings that lead up to our major raffle drawings.

We have a tiny town, but the spirit of a megacity. Come join the fun!

Our illustrious gossip (you know I’m talking about Judith now, right?) just called me (10 p.m. Sunday evening) to let me know they were in Sweet Home, Ore., visiting with David (Gus) and Jan Hefty. I told her to say Hey Bro! They took one day as they traveled to stop at Yellowstone. They took the bus tour and were able to see everything there was to see in that one day. She said it was wonderful. I hope they get to see some of the surroundings by Sweet Home. According to Gus and Jan, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Oh, there’s only one other correction I have to make about Judith’s comments. I think I will live down the fact of missing the skunk — eventually — maybe 50 years from now or so — so, until then, watch for Sharai Lane at your nearest corn maze, it will be the road with the huge nose sign hanging above it, and have a great week!

Last Sunday, Jerry and Gretchen Best went to Gretchen’s mom’s, joining lots of other relatives for a potluck dinner.

Recently Marv Knoop and grandson Bryan and Den-

nis Zwart and his grandson Jacob went to South Dakota where they enjoyed hunting prairie dogs. The four guys really enjoyed it. While there the temps were very hot and schools were let out at noon due to 106-degree temps.

The guys have friends living out there and they slept in the basement of their home.

Last Sunday, Lisa Otto and children, Marjorie and Charlie, Pattie and Noel Beaufeaux and sons Mitch and Kyle, Jimmy and Kristen and Scott Carl and children Kimmy, Jannah and Brianne were at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s for dinner. The gang was over to Kristen and Scott Carl’s for supper except for Lisa and kids.

Jill Toll tells us Dave was up for the weekend and cut Jim’s second-crop hay.

Talking with Bernard Redding he tells us he’s been sick.

Wednesday an ambulance came to the Reddings and picked up Sandy where she was taken to the Indianhead Medical Center in Shell Lake. Tests were done and it was

found she had gallstones. However, they couldn’t do surgery due to the medication Sandy is taking for her heart.

Dawn was up during the week and helped her mom with household chores. Please keep Bernard and Sandy in your special thoughts and prayers.

Table Talk: What is the smartest thing you have done so far in your life?

A week ago Sunday evening, Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alycia had Garry and Beth Crosby, Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Ann, Glen and Lorraine Crosby, Preston and Patti Haglin and Chuck and Dixie Andrea over for supper.

Sonny and Kevin Meister spent Sunday with Carl and Betty Meister. Betty tells me she is about done canning with only some tomatoes, squash and pumpkins to do.

Good for you, Betty.

Last weekend Robin was home at her parents, Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s. Sunday was family prayer at Cecil and Evelyn’s with Peggy Vesta and Bridgett Hardl and Don Lane, Don and Vicki Trott, Robin Melton, Richard and Cecil and Evelyn. Later some of them enjoyed playing cards. Please keep Don Lane in your special thoughts and prayers as he was taken by ambulance to Marshfield. Peggy and Bridgett went to see him. Sunday some of the Melton children and grandchildren were over to play 500 cards.

The Clam River Tuesday Club met recently at Chuck and Dixie Andrea’s where the club is making plans for their Oct. 13 fundraiser at Indian Creek. The gals work hard to make this a success, so plan to attend.

Last Wednesday, I took my Rory to the pet grooming shop as his hair was so long. When I picked him up he looked like a gentleman.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

A

shopper once said to a sales associate, “I want the most beautiful gold heart that you have in your store on the finest gold chain available for my fiancée.”

After considering many different choices, he made his decision, and said, “I’ll take that one.”

“Shall I inscribe her name on it?” asked the sales associate.

“Oh no!” came the instant reply. “If we break up, I would like to use it again.”

How different is God’s love. We hear it in the words of Jesus when he said, “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” How comforting it is to know that God’s love is permanent. How fortunate we are to know that God’s love is guaranteed by his word. How wonderful it is to know that God’s love is for everyone. And finally, how grateful we are to know that his love makes our salvation through Jesus Christ possible.

Learning to be safe on the bus

Shell Lake Schools transportation supervisor Boyd Anderson talked Wednesday, Sept. 5, to kindergarten students about what the expectations are for them on the school bus. Bus safety and behavior is stressed to help get them off to a safe year.

TIMES

SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 23

Students in Jen Sauve and Janie LaFave’s kindergarten class had a special class in bus behavior. Back (L to R): Greydon Fox, Jordan Lawrence, Alivia Marker, Sara Jo Brunberg, Kaelin Farley, Malachi Norton, Chance Kidder, Chase Anderson, Gavin Lanz, Rebecca Uchytil and Peter Hampe. Front: Emily Dorweiler, Brochton Naessen, Joseph Harrington, Kloey Berger, Elijah Edlin, Elijiah Shrum, Carter Allen, Isaiah Norton and Isaac Crosby.

Photos by Larry Samson

The most dangerous time on the bus route is when the children are getting on and off the bus. It is at this time that the cars on the road pose an eminent danger. The children are learning to follow the direction of the bus driver as he watches traffic. In this photo Sara Jo Brunberg is watching the driver and traffic as she crosses in front of the bus.

Homecoming activities include new parade route

SHELL LAKE — Homecoming festivities will kick off this Friday, Sep. 14, with the coronation of the king and queen during the pep rally at 3 p.m. Seniors will be painting the town when they decorate local businesses in the spirit of Laker pride on Saturday, Sept. 15.

Homecoming week officially starts on Monday, Sept.

17, which is Celebrity-Rock Star Day. Students may dress as their favorite famous person. Also plan to come out and cheer on the Laker girls as they participate in the eighth-annual powder-puff football games. Games start at 7 p.m., and admission is tentatively set at $1.

Teams have been practicing for weeks, so this year promises to be as exciting as ever.

Float building will take place at the bus garage again this year, with times for Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 15 and 16, to be announced. Float building will take place on Monday from 4 to 7 p.m. and Tuesday through Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. Any parent interested in helping chaperone is asked to call the high school office at 715-468-7814. The Shell Lake Student Council extends gratitude to Boyd Anderson for allowing them to invade his bus garage for the week. New this year, the parade will be held on Friday, Sept. 21, beginning at the Shell Lake Primary School at 5 p.m. The parade route

DAHLSTROM S 542207 49rtfc

will proceed from the primary school, down Reinhart Drive and conclude at the high school, where the Shell Lake Educational Foundation’s Tailgate Party will be in full swing.

Boyd Anderson watches the children as they exit the bus.

Under normal conditions Anderson would be sitting in his seat watching the children in the mirror as he monitors the children outside the bus and watches the traffic. Not an easy thing to do; every child that leaves the bus must be accounted for before he can move the bus.

Japanese knotweed: Hopefully not on your property

by Lisa Burns, aquatic invasive species coordinator SHELL LAKE — Summer is fading fast, and water enthusiasts are slowing their trips to the lakes and rivers. Unfortunately, invasive species don’t always slow their trek when the weather becomes cooler. One particular species, Japanese knotweed, is one to be on the watch for during the next couple of months along shorelines, ditches and lawns.

Japanese knotweed, native in eastern Asia, was Japanese knotweed growing along the driveway at Lincolnwood Resort, Long Lake. — Photo submitted once a common ornamental sought for its green its hollow bamboolike stem.

During the peak growing season, it Japanese knotweed is recognizable by nately, the cold winter weather does not can grow 2-4 inches per day, reaching a maximum height of 10 to 12 feet in one growing season.

Not only does Japanese knotweed quickly grow above ground, it also forms a very drastic root system. They can descend nine feet and expand 60 feet wide.

This leads to a decline in native plant growth, displacing wildlife habitat and food. Along riverbanks and elevated shorelines, the knotweed can bare ground under its heightened canopy which results in erosion problems. Even more alarming is the damage it can do to foundations.

growth can push their way up through and damage foundations, concrete buildings, roadsides and retaining walls.

This time of the year, Japanese knotweed is fairly easy to identify. Besides the bamboolike stem, the leaves are alternate, egg shaped, dark green and 4-8 inches long. Numerous small white flowers will be branching off of the stem. Winter is also a good time of the year to identify Japanese knotweed, as the stems are rust-colored.

Control of Japanese knotweed is very difficult once established. It is important to do something immediately if a small population is forming on your property. Even small patches of it rarely take less than a year to eradicate, even with multiple attempts. There are numerous control methods to implement on established sites, including manual/mechanical and herbicide application. Herbicide use in Wisconsin always requires a permit from your regional WDNR aquatic plant manager. Combining both methods allows more options and flexibility. For instance, digging, pulling or tilling may increase the effectiveness of herbicide.

If you would like more information or would like to report existing infestations of Japanese knotweed, please contact Lisa Burns, aquatic invasive species coordinator, at 715-468-4654.
