SHELL LAKE – Effective Saturday, Oct. 1, the city of Shell Lake will have a rate change that charges more for any trash bin size higher than 35 gallons. Rates for a 35-gallon trash bin for garbage pickup are $42 per quarter. The 65-gallon, 95-gallon or even two 95-gallon bins, are all going to be the same price at $50.85 per quarter until 2014. However, the city council would like to let everyone know that if you feel you’d like to save $7.15 per quarter, you have the option of calling Allied Waste (715-234-8076) directly to have them switch out your current bin. – Jessica Beecroft ••• BURNETT/DOUGLAS COUNTIES - Soldiers of the Wisconsin National Guard have come to the rescue of storm-damaged northwestern Wisconsin ... as lumberjacks.

Fifty-nine members of the 724th Engineer Battalion are starting to clear roads and trails of trees downed from storms that hit July 1. They’re concentrating on Burnett and Douglas counties. Burnett County Emergency Management Director Bobbi Sichta hopes they can get lots done in the three weeks they’re clearing the debris. “I wish we had them for about three months, but I know it’s not possible.” Sichta says it’s a public safety issue, so cars don’t have to dodge broken trees, snowplowers have a place to put snow this winter, and driedout timber doesn’t create a fire hazard next spring. “It’s such a widespread area,” she says.

“That’s the hard part. I mean, it hit 18 towns in the county and that’s well over 75 percent of the county to some degree or another.” While towns and landowners are doing the best they can with private loggers, Douglas County Emergency Management Director Keith Kesler says they need some old-fashioned National Guard muscle. “The way it’s all intertwined and inter-tangled with each other, getting through it with heavy equipment is almost impossible,” he says. - Mike Simonson, Wisconsin Public Radio ••• NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - One of the biggest shows in Wisconsin is about to start. Vibrant fall color displays - and the tourism that goes with that - bring in billions of dollars each autumn. In Wisconsin, it seems money can grow on trees. From September to November last year, fall colors tourists dropped nearly $3 billion on Wisconsin hotels, restaurants and other attractions. So for the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, giving tourists an easy way to find those foliage displays makes good business sense. The department has an interactive map on its Web site called the Fall Colors Report. People can zero in on peak color areas, and it's constantly being updated during the season. Spokeswoman Danielle Johnson says the site got more than 250,000 visitors last autumn. That number could go up, thanks to the map's new features, "Travelers can now submit their own fall color reports, which is really cool. The report can also be viewed from your mobile device, so you can see it on your smart phone or iPad." Wisconsin state parks also reap benefits from fall tourism. An analysis from the state Department of Natural Resources shows that visitation to state parks in the autumn months has increased by about 15 percent over the last decade.

Revenues during that time have increased by more than a third, to $3.5 million. -Teresa Shipley, Wisconsin Public Radio

County approves RCC request to cover lost state funding

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – The Recycling Control Commission of Wasburn and Burnett counties expects to receive $251,450 annually from the state of Wisconsin, but after the Budget Repair Bill was approved, it found the only funds available from the state were $162,337.

To make up the difference, the RCC requested money from both Burnett and Washburn counties. The difference is for operating expenses needed to keep the recycling programs afloat for the year. According to Sheldon Johnson, the executive director of the RCC, the Burnett County Board of Supervi-

sors approved their portion over a month ago. On Monday, Sept. 12, the Washburn County Solid Waste Committee approved to send the request to the Washburn County Board of Supervisors at the Tuesday, Sept. 13 meeting, where it was approved by the Washburn County Board.

Out of the supplemental fees requested by the RCC, $19,667 is the amount to cover the Washburn County portion of the funds needed to continue the recycling program.

Burnett County has already paid their portion of $18,896. Now the RCC will stay in good standing financially and continue to provide recycling services to the counties.

NY firefighter shares on World Trade Center attacks

RICE LAKE — On the 10th anniversary of the Sept.

11, 2001, terrorist attacks, remembrance ceremonies have been taking place across the country.

At Rice Lake’s commemorative ceremony on Sunday afternoon, WEAU 13 news spoke with a New York City firefighter who survived the World Trade Center attacks.

Salvatore Rignola, a New York City fire marshal, spoke in Rice Lake on Sunday, Sept. 11. He said on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, he was on his way to work when he got a call from a co-worker telling him a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers.

Rignola said he rushed to the World Trade Center to find mass chaos.

“Boom, the second plane hits. I look up at the north building and people are jumping out of the building. I see people holding hands jumping out and people trying to make parachutes out of curtains,” Rignola said.

The firefighter said he ran into the towers to coordinate rescue efforts, but was able to get out before the first tower collapsed.

“People are going to say, ‘Where was God at this time?’ Those Twin Towers had 20,000 people a day in there. There were so many people who should have been killed. It could have been a lot worse than 3,000 victims,” Rignola said.

Ten years later, Rignola spent the afternoon telling his story to hundreds of people at Rice Lake’s city park.

He says he was compelled to come to Wisconsin, to tell all of how his faith in God got him past the grief of losing friends in the attacks.

“Having strong faith and families will get you through. I’m a guy who likes to spread God’s word.

Usually I try to block it out, I try not to think that my friends were killed and I lived but seeing everyone here, it was wonderful,” Rignola said.

Salvatore Rignola was a New York firefighter who responded to the attack on the Twin Towers by terrorists 10 years ago. He recounted what it was like at ground zero on that day. He said with typical New York defiance, “If it was me I would rebuild the towers on that same spot and make it one story taller, that is what I would do.”

While we remember those who died in the attacks, the 9/11 survivor said there are many things to be learned from that fateful day.

“There were a lot of warnings of what was going to happen. After 9/11 everyone talked about how we were united. We should put the nation first, learn from examples and not let our guard down,” Rignola said. — from WEAU.com

Bat presentation held

Shell Lake

by Larry Samson SARONA — Hunt Hill, in cooperation with the Long Lake Preservation Association, held the last Cakes at the Lake Nature Program on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Bats were the hot subject for the last program because of white nose syndrome that has the possibility of decimating their numbers. While WNS has not been found in Wisconsin, DNR biologists feel that this winter will be the first year they will be infected. WNS is a fungus that grows in cool, damp conditions. The fungus grows and feeds on the hibernating bats. In the eastern states, the fungus is killing 90-100 percent of the population of a cave. There is no effective treatment or prevention as it is passed from bat to bat, cave to bat and human to cave to bat. The only thing biologists can do is to monitor the bat numbers. The speed at which WNS is spreading is alarming. It was first discovered near Albany, N.Y., in February of 2006 by a photographer who came across some dead bats in a cave. Since then, more than a million bats have died making it one of the worst wildlife health crises in memory according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Hunt Hill is participating in a program with the WI DNR to monitor the bat population and they are looking for volunteers as bat monitors. You can contact Hunt Hill at 715-635-6543 or info@hunthill.org.

Man pleads not guilty to fifth OWI charge

by Jessica Beecroft WASHBURN COUNTY – Robin Johnson, 31, Shell Lake, appeared in court Monday, Sept. 12, and pleaded not guilty to what would be his fifth OWI. Johnson did not have a lawyer at the initial court appearance, but he is planning on attaining one before his next court date on Friday, Sept. 30.

Judge Eugene Harrington decided to recuse, or dismiss himself from the case, because the arresting officer in the case is his first cousin, Brendan Harrington.

A new judge will be assigned for the case. The bail will continue that was set as a signature bond for $1,000. It includes the requirements that Johnson is not to consume any alcohol, not to enter an establishment that sells alcohol for consumption on the premises except for

Rich liberal hypocrites

So, Warren Buffet in a column in the New York Times states that he and other wealthy millionaires and billionaires should pay more in taxes. One of the oftcited examples of unfairness by the liberal media is that Buffet reports that he is paying between 17 percent and 18 percent on his income while an executive secretary of his is paying 30 percent on her income. Buffet is a multibillionaire whose Berkshire Hathaway shares, worth about $38 billion, are a good portion of his wealth. You can bet that I was surprised to hear that Berkshire Hathaway has been engaged in a legal struggle with the IRS to avoid paying approximately $1 billion in corporate in-

come taxes that Berkshire’s auditors say that it most likely owes. This $1 billion is approximately 0.2 percent of Berkshires’ assets. Why doesn’t he fork over the money to the feds if he is concerned about not paying his fair share? I would conclude that he is not really concerned about underpayment but cares more about shilling for President Obama who has made higher taxes on millionaires and billionaires a campaign theme. Buffet has set up several foundations to avoid paying taxes. He believes that he and the foundations boards can make better use of the funds distributed to needy causes than the government can.

He has said as much on CNBC.

It is perfectly legal and actually desired by the IRS that taxpayers pay extra beyond the tax due. The fact is that few wealthy liberals pay anything extra beyond what they owe. The treasury department has a fund to collect voluntary payments to reduce the national debt.

Last year it received $300 million. This represents less than 0.015 percent of the $2.2 trillion collected by the federal government last year. Also in Massachusetts, when taxpayers won a cut in state income tax rates from 5.85 percent to 5.3 percent, the law gave those opposed to the cut an opportunity to file at the higher rate of 5.85 percent. Only about 1,000 taxpayers selected the higher rates.

These taxpayers represent about 0.1 percent of the state’s residents, and the extra amount raised last year was a measly $69,000. This means that the extra payments came from lower-income taxpayers, not the rich. It seems that rich liberals are quite the hypocrites when it comes to paying higher taxes. I guess they just want those making between $200,000 and $1 million to pay more and not themselves.

This is the second letter that I have submitted regarding this important issue that I feel everyone needs to be aware of and informed about. There is a blatant attempt by the governor of Wisconsin to make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for every citizen of the state to have the right to vote. The governor has pushed for and signed into law a bill that makes it mandatory to show a valid Wisconsin photo identification card in order to vote in this state. This is a poll tax, plain and simple, not unlike the Jim Crow laws of the American southern states years ago that made it impossible for minorities to vote.

To obtain a Wisconsin photo ID card requires that a person first find an open Department of Motor Vehicle office, which in a majority of rural areas in this

part of the state, means an office that is open one maybe two days a week or a month and never on weekends so you have to take off work to make it there.

Then the kicker is that the state DMV workers have been told not to let residents know that they can get an ID to vote free of charge. Poor folks, old and young folks and folks with disabilities who don’t drive need to fork over $28 plus counter fees just to have the right to vote in a state where we used to just have to show up at the polls on election day with a power bill that proved you lived here for 10 days and you would be allowed to vote. This is a sham and another in a long line of travesties pervaded on us by a corrupt dishonest governor and his administration. State workers who have told residents that

they could obtain IDs free of charge in order to vote have been fired. If you don’t think that this is going to cost the taxpayers a fortune when a judge overturns those firings and awards back pay and damages for wrongful termination then you probably would enjoy a spot of tea.

Tom Barrett is going to be running against the current governor in the upcoming recall election. I encourage

everyone to vote. Please tell your family, friends and neighbors that they can obtain a state photo identification card to vote free of charge at any DMV office.

Just ask for the ID form and check the box marked for the voting identification card. It’s free.

An Associated Press story, DMV workers told not to mention free IDs, appeared in a recent issue of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Wisconsin DMV workers were instructed to charge people the $28 fee for a state ID card unless they specifically asked for the free one for voting.

This comes close to instituting a poll tax, which is unconstitutional.

A lower-level Department of Safety and Professional Services employee emailed his co-workers strongly urging them to tell people who are eligible to vote and don’t have an approved ID that they can get one free. The press got a copy of the e-mail and the word was out.

What happened to the worker who wrote the e-mail? Oh, he got fired. What

happened to the official who issued the instructions to make people ask for the free ID? Oh, he’s a political appointee and just doing what the Legislature required with the law.

John Nichols, writing in The Capital Times, suggested that the poll tax concept has resurfaced with the efforts of secretive right-wing groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council to pass national voter suppression laws such as our new voter ID bill. Several of our state legislators are proud graduates of ALEC. Google ALEC thoroughly.

You’ll be delighted.

the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Alzheimer’s disease is the largest underfunded public health threat facing the nation today and it’s growing at an epidemic rate. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s unites thousands of people across the country who want to find an end to this disease. This is a global movement to reclaim the future for millions.

Currently, 110,000 people are affected

by Alzheimer’s disease in Wisconsin and 5.4 million nationwide. A new person develops Alzheimer’s disease every 69 seconds. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s helps fund the world’s largest Alzheimer’s research program and will bring us one step closer to a world without Alzheimer’s disease.

Highlights of summer 2011 at Shell Lake Arts Center

SHELL LAKE — “I now have bright eyes, and I cannot wait for next year.” Those are the words of a camper from the 44th season of summer camps at the Shell Lake Arts Center. With 580 participants attending 17 camps over the course of eight weeks, summer was nothing short of a flurry of energy at 802 First St. Over those eight weeks, students flew in from countries as far away as Taiwan, and states such as Washington, Arizona, Missouri and Ohio. The majority of students came from the Midwest, several from right in Washburn County. Many students described their experience in Shell Lake as the best experience of their life.

In 2011, 41 percent of the students were veterans of the camp, many attending for their third or fourth summer. The Shell Lake Arts Center is grateful for the support of the community in their continued efforts to help these students, whether through volunteering, in-kind and monetary donations, and attending fundraisers for program support and scholarships. Thanks to donations from the community and surrounding area, the arts center was able to give over $22,000 in scholarships to students who otherwise would not be able to attend camp. “There is nothing like seeing the kids perform on stage and watching their self-confidence grow during their stay here at the Shell Lake Arts Center,” explains Executive Director Tara Burns. “Seeing the pride in their eyes while they perform for an audience, seeing them cry on Friday night because they are going home and leaving their new friends and the positive learning environment we provide … This is why we work so hard all year, for that one moment when a camper tells me that this was the best time of their life! This happens over and over again, year after year. I am very proud to carry on the legacy started by Darrell Aderman 44 years ago.”

Shell Lake is the favorite place of many visitors to Washburn County. Using statistics from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, revenue from the high number of participants at the arts center is estimated to have brought over $72,000 to the area in tourist spending.

Students love Shell Lake, and return year after year to enjoy not only camp, but the beauty of the lake, woods and city as a whole. The Shell Lake Arts Center works hard to support the Shell Lake community by hiring

ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE WEEK Perhaps you may have noticed there are many of one breed, I’m speaking of the dogs and they’re a breed that is in need.

They’re pit bull or they’re pit-bull mix, you wonder why they’re here, Because they are misunderstood, the truth no one will hear.

It’s not the breed of dog that’s bad, it is how they are raised, A dog won’t learn by beatings but will learn when it is praised.

We have to open up our hearts and educate our mind, ‘Cause pit bulls, just like Labs, are one of the best dogs you’ll find.

Remember don’t be quick to judge those that you do not know, For every dog deserves a chance, to them, this much we owe!

Dogs for adoption: 6-year-old large neutered black/silver malamute/shepherd mix; 8-month-old black male pit bull; 2-year-old brindle male pit bull; 4-month-old male brindle American Staffordshire terrier; 5-year-old neutered brown/white American Staffordshire terrier; 1-year-old female white boxer/bulldog mix; 4-1/2-month-old neutered black Lab/boxer mix; 5-year-old female chocolate Lab; 3year-old male yellow Lab; 2-1/2-month-old female rott/hound-mix pup and a 2-year-old neutered Jack Russell terrier mix.

local residents, purchasing camp items locally and providing an extensive concert series to residents each summer. “We are able to run a big-city operation using small-town resources with help from our volunteers and the generous support from this community. We couldn’t do it without their help,” says a grateful Burns.

New to the Shell Lake Arts Center’s programming this year was acting and playwriting, a theater camp for students in grades six-12. Taught by two professional actors from New York City, the program was highly anticipated by many campers, who learned about auditioning, stage presence and body language, building characters, how to write plays and vocal production. Enrollment was 5 percent over the projected numbers, an amazing feat for a new program.

The expansion of the adult big band workshop was another priority for the arts center this summer.

Through a partnership with the University of St.

Thomas, the option to take the workshop for graduate credit became available to any participant in need. The Potter’s Shed also teamed with the arts center, graciously hosting an outdoor scholarship benefit concert during the big band workshop weekend. Other partnerships throughout the camp season include McNally Smith College of Music, Theatre in the Woods, UWPlatteville and Washburn County Tourism.

What is in store for 2012? “We are preparing for our 45th camp season with an emphasis on our alumni — reaching out to our alumni, re-engaging our many successful musicians and artists, as well as all the former campers no longer involved in the arts and music,” says Burns. “There are 44 years of students out there who experienced our positive, life-changing programs. It’s time to celebrate nearly a half a century of incredible music education at this country’s premier summer music camp!” — from Shell Lake Arts Center

Shell Lake Regatta results

Little purple shirt

At a garage sale one Saturday morning, I spotted a little football shirt that I thought maybe my new grandson would some day be able to wear.

As I picked the little jersey up to inspect and consider buying, I sheepishly said to the lady next to me, “Do you think I should be seen buying this?” Her comment was, “I wouldn’t.” You see I was in Packer country, and this jersey was purple and gold. Yes, it was a shirt representing the Minnesota Vikings. I figured I could safely make my purchase and sneak it to my son-in-law in Minnesota for his new son

to wear.

When I washed the shirt and took it out to the clothesline to dry, I wondered if it would be OK hanging on the wire between a string of blue jeans and a line of towels. Would my neighbors spot it and give me a hard time? Was I living dangerously? After all, the little shirt didn’t have a number 4 on it.

I’m sure no one noticed the little garment, for you see, my clotheslines in the backyard are hidden behind a 6-foot-tall wooden fence, so why did I feel like a traitor?

SURE eligibility reminder STATEWIDE — Wisconsin Farm Service Agency re-

minds producers that Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments, as established under the 2008 Farm Bill, covers crop losses prior to Oct. 1. The portion of the crop losses that occur due to a disaster after that date, either to a 2011 or potentially to a 2012 crop, are not eligible for SURE benefits nor can that portion of the crop loss occurring after that date be used for SURE eligibility purposes.

For 2011 losses filed next fall, FSA will be required to determine that the claimed loss was due to a disaster occurring on or before Sept. 30. FSA must determine if a qualifying loss meets the established disaster relief criteria for at least one crop.

At the time the 2011 and 2012 SURE application for payment is filed, the producer will be required to identify and certify a crop of economic significance that suffered a qualifying loss of 10 percent or more. In addition, at least one such crop with 10-percent losses on or before Sept. 30 will be required.

SURE applications for 2011 crop losses will be accepted in late 2012. The SURE sign-up for 2010 crop losses will be this fall or early winter as the dates are yet to be announced.

SURE is part of the safety net that provides assistance to producers who have suffered losses from natural disasters. In addition to meeting the qualifying loss requirement, SURE eligibility also requires that the loss was physically located in a county that was declared a primary disaster county or contiguous county by the Agriculture secretary under a Secretarial Disaster Designation.

For more information about the SURE program, visit any FSA county office or www.fsa.usda.gov/sure. — from WFSA

Time for some education … there are 4-H signs all around and a lot of people involved in 4-H activity, a lot of youngsters involved in animal raising and showing at the fairs, but what does 4-H involve?

Each participant pledges their heads to clearer thinking, their hearts to greater loyalty, their hands to larger service and their health to better living for my club, my community, my country and my world. The National Conservation Pledge states, “I give my pledge as an American to save and faithfully defend from waste the national resources of my country, its soil, minerals, forest, waters and wildlife. Their emblem is the four-leaf clover, their colors are green and white, and their motto is to make the best better. It is very easy to see making the best better by watching the village garden evolve as you enter the city. In the fall it is scraped clean, in the spring 20 or some number led by Angie Anderson somehow acquire new plantings, and throughout the summer months Angie and her 4-H’ers keep that plot neat and tidy.

Just the other day she added some new sections of mums. Other projects that we never notice or be aware of is 4-H’s cleaning up the roadside, straightening up after city or town events such as the rodeo and mowing lawns on the city properties when necessary.

RICE LAKE — Barron Electric Cooperative recently donated $500 to Lakeview Medical Center Hospice. “We appreciate Barron Electric’s donation, which helps to make the difference in someone’s life,” said Kris Fetkenheuer, volunteer coordinator for Lakeview Medical Center Hospice. Hospice provides a special kind of home care for people with terminal illnesses and their loved ones. Hospice staff is committed to helping make the final days, weeks and months of those who are dying as comfortable and as satisfying as possible. Dallas Sloan, general manager of Barron Electric, said, “Our support of hospice programs exemplifies Barron Electric’s misalways marvel at the gadget that drops the pancake batter on the grill and at the same time at the person manipulating that particular invention. I am sure his shoes or sneakers are riveted, bolted down or welded in that piece of cement, and he just slips into them on fly-in day. Bob Rand is always in that exact identical spot neither to the left nor to the right. It’s just reassuring to many of us that sometimes nice things seem to stick around like shoes in the ground.

••• Last weekend was the 10th anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York City. Fortunately, I was not working in the city at that time, but had I been, I could have possibly been hurt to some extent. Customers that had IBM machines were all over downtown New York where I spent the first 13 years of my 31 IBM years servicing their computers.

The way that those buildings collapsed instead of falling to the north, east and south was also a miracle. Many other lives and buildings would have been destroyed had that happened. Falling west would have put the buildings and people into the Hudson River. I had mentioned some time ago that those World Trade Towers were built on the same piece of property where my friends and I ate lunch every day. I will not try to tell you how I feel whenever I see the re-enactment of the terrible event. I have been in the top floors of those towers showing visitors the wonders of my city. Every time you looked uptown, the two building were right in your line of sight. How and why did we not suspect those people who were learning how to fly, no not learning how to fly, only learning how to take off? Unfortunately, we are not fighting a nation as we did with Germany and Japan, we are fighting fanatics who will continue to attempt to kill all Americans. I say God help us since that seems to be our only real hope.

Funds for the Barron Electric donations are derived from the Federated Youth Foundation, an administrative trust overseeing unclaimed capital credits of former members. Barron Electric has served the rural area since 1936 and currently provides electricity to more than 17,800 members.

Recall petition changes considered

by Shawn Johnson Wisconsin Public Radio MADISON - Wisconsin’s Government Accountability Board considered a plan Monday, Sept. 12, that would let people print off personalized recall petitions at home, reducing the need for a traditional door-todoor signature drive.

The recall petitions circulated for this summer’s special Senate elections were gathered the old-fashioned way - circulators set up tables and knocked on doors.

Typically, there were 10 people’s addresses and signatures on each page.

A proposal by Patrick Williams of Milwaukee would set up another option, a single, standardized recall petition page that people could print and sign at home.

Williams says it would update what he calls an antiquated process, “If you are interested in recalling a candidate in the state of Wisconsin, it seems to me odd that you should have to rely on a person coming to your door or that you should have to get in your car and drive to a place where signatures are being collected.”

Williams runs Wisconsinrecall.net and wants to use a system like this to recall Gov. Scott Walker. He says people could visit sites like his, enter their personal information and then get e-mailed personalized forms once a recall process was under way. The forms would be mailed or dropped off with recall organizers.

Williams says it would make recalls easier for both political parties, “Is that good in and of itself? Well, if you believe recalls are good then I suppose it is. But what it does do is it obviates the need to field a large staff of volunteers to go out and collect these signatures.”

The Government Accountability Board’s staff is recommending Williams’ proposal, saying there’s nothing in state law that prohibits it. The board itself makes the final call.

Recalling the governor would require more than 540,000 signatures. The board staff says it would need more storage space if all those signatures came in on their own sheets of paper.

Sarona

Sarona was well represented at Town and Country Days. Ray Shimek had his fleet of antique cars in the parade, Casey Furchtenicht marched with the Shell Lake band, Virginia Stodola played Smear with the senior citizens, Elaine Ryan sold doilies, Craig Furchtenicht took part in the tractor pull, Hansen’s Concrete donated a rocking chair and Fuernot Farms donated a youth John Deere rocker for Glenview’s fundraiser, Sue Krantz sold used books for the Shell Lake Public Library fundraiser, Jim and Nancy Swanson took their turn at the Lions Club stand selling turkey legs, Sarona Methodist Church minister Pastor Greg Harrell led the Sunday morning worship at the beach and Sarona Methodist organist Jean Hentsch played a number, Gene Romsos was selling Jean’s CDs and also the Sarona Methodist 100-year books at the com-

Local author and former Washburn County Board Chair Pete Hubin has penned a sequel to his earlier novel. “The General’s Den,” published in 2010, is a mystery with a rugged, romantic quality perhaps inspired by James Fennimore Cooper, an author admired by Hubin.

The sequel, “Showdown at the General’s Den,” continues the story of the enigmatic Benjamin Mason, the Civil

War general whose dugout the narrator stumbles upon in the wild Washburn County forest. In “Showdown,” the mystery deepens and takes on a ghostly quality as the narrator discovers more about Mason’s background and the intrigues that led to his death in 1867, an era when northern Wisconsin was first being settled by white men.

Hubin weaves his narrative with fact and fiction, giving life to both past and present day. The tale begun in the earlier novel is further developed, and details about Mason’s apparent sweetThe Shell Lake 2011 Town & Country Days Committee would like to heart Lucy and the grudge thank the following sponsors, donors and volunteers who helped between her brothers and make the 33rd Town & Country Days event a huge success.

Lakers claim victory over Birchwood

Safety David Brereton with a open-field tackle on Birchwood wide receiver Cody Darling. The sophomore has made the switch from cross country to football this year.

by Larry Samson BIRCHWOOD — A 70-38 win over the Birchwood Bobcats on Saturday, Sept. 10, made it four wins for Shell Lake and gave Birchwood their third loss of the season.

Shell Lake scored first with a 10-yard BJ Burton touchdown run after a successful drive. On the second series, Shell Lake scored on a Jesse Gronning 5-yard touchdown run. Then Burton intercepted a Nathan Frandsen pass and ran it back to the Birchwood 23-yard line to set up the third touchdown of the game, Gronning’s second. It was 20-0.

Shell Lake added two more when a bad snap to Frandsen ended up as a sack in the end zone. It was the first of two safeties for Shell Lake. The Birchwood fans had a lot to cheer about when Frandsen connected to Austin Murray on a 80-yard effort, and it was 20-8 after a two-point conversion. Shell Lake quickly moved the ball down field on their next series, and Gronning went over from the 10-yard line, and wide receiver Jesse Sib-

ert ran for the two-point conversion. Freshman Sam Muska ran 30 yards for his first varsity touchdown, and a two-point conversion made it 44-8. Josh Brantner took the kickoff and ran it 85 yards as Birchwood closed the lead 44-14. Sam Livingston scored a touchdown, and it was 52-14. The half ended 52-22 after Frandsen connected with Murray for a 20-yard touchdown pass.

To start out the second half, Gronning took the kickoff 60 yards down to the 10-yard line. Caleb Parker took it in, and it was 60-22. Caleb Schmidt sacked Frandsen for the second safety. Brantner scored on short pass to make it 62-30. Brantner scored again for Birchwood after Austin Conners took the ball down to the Shell Lake 1-yard line. Sam Muska scored on a 15-yard run, and Trevor Anderson finished the scoring with a twopoint conversion.

Shell Lake will travel to Northwood High School on Friday, Sept. 17. The Evergreens are 3-1 for the season coming off a 52-43 win over Winter on Friday, Sept. 9, and a 26-20 win over Luck in the previous week.

Spooner coach named Green Bay Packer High School Coach of the Week

by Larry Samson GREEN BAY— Spooner head coach Josh Fizel was named Green Bay Packer High School Coach of the Week by the Green Bay Packers in cooperation with the Wisconsin National Guard. The honor is awarded to 10 high school coaches each year as part of a program to recognize outstanding high school coaches and their football program.

Fizel is in his second year as head coach. In addition to the recognition, the Spooner football program will receive a $2,000 donation. The only Heart of the North coach to be previously recognized was in 2010 when Bloomer coach John Post earned the honors.

The Spooner Rails are off to a 4-0 season with a 7-6 win over Grantsburg, 12-6 win over Ashland, a big 2827 double-overtime win over Northwestern and a 2114 win over Barron. The next test for the Rails will be a home game against the 4-0 Cumberland Beavers on Friday, Sept. 16.

Last call for Walk to End Alzheimer’s

by Diane Dryden SPOONER - A week from now it will dawn on you that you have, once again, missed the opportunity to be a part of an organization’s efforts to be there with answers when you, yourself, will need them.

Amazingly, if you stop to think about it, Alzheimer’s has already started to seep into your daily life. You probably know at least one person suffering with the disease, whether it’s at the beginning stages or going into the patient’s 20th year.

That’s right; it’s possible to suffer this disease for 20 long years. And because it’s not only the patient, but the caregiver that has to face this ordeal, even a year can seem like an eternity. Shoes in the oven, ground meat in the closet, accusations that someone stole their money, or their rug or their underwear, these are just some of the things with which caregivers live. Repeating the same statement or question is also something to try a caregiver’s patience.

How many times a day can a caregiver answer the enquiries such as “Is Sarah coming today?” when Sarah’s been dead for a year and you dare not share that truth because the patient then grieves all over for lost Sarah.

It can be a madhouse existence, and you could be the next one to experience it.

There is a Walk to End Alzheimer’s this Saturday, Sept. 17, at the pavilion outside of the Spooner Nursing Home, which is now part of the Benedictine Health System. People will gather as teams or individuals to bring their donations of money for the cause, get their T-shirts and then walk the simple 1-1/2 miles to help make even more people aware that this is one of those diseases that, as the baby boomers age, will not only involve more and more families, but it has the potential to completely bankrupt several systems.

Many more facilities will have to be built to house those afflicted with Alzheimer’s, and research is an ongoing venture to at least slow down the disease that will eventually take the patient’s life. More day respite

centers will have to be built and staffed so caregivers can get some desperately needed time off from their 24-hour duty. And as time rushes past, research still hasn’t found any answers to Alzheimer’s.

Yes, the future is grim, and that’s why you need to do two things. The first is to show up Saturday at 9 a.m. and register to walk as an individual, or as a team. Each walker needs to raise $75, or if you know someone who has some disposable income team with them, and they can raise the bulk of the money and you just have to raise the little bit left to reach the $150 for both of you and so on.

The next thing you can do is write a check and drop it off the day of the walk or mail it to the local satellite office for This is the place in Spooner, the Spooner Nursing Home’s gazebo behind Alzheimer’s in Spooner. Make your tax-deductible check out the Spooner Health System, where this Saturday, the Walk to End to Alzheimer’s and mail it to Alzheimer’s will be held, ending a yearlong fundraising effort by the local 522 Service Road, Suite 5, committee for Alzheimer’s research. - Photo by Diane Dryden Spooner, WI, 54801. You could think of it as a down payment for a cure before you take through Avon, the Forget-Me-Not dollar donations at Ace Hardware, the bracelet sales and the 50/50 raffles. your own journey into oblivion.

Last-minute information is available locally at 715volved, volunteers are always needed, and the local committee is searching for more committed people to 635-6601 or at Alz.com help plan and implement next year’s walk.

Talented Texan teams up with Happy Tonics

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE/ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Cindy Dyer, a name you wouldn’t know unless you had lived in Texas or Alexandria, Va. She’s one of those gifted people who was already sketching in kindergarten and, naturally, by fourth grade she was fully able to copy pictures onto chalkboards with perfection and by junior high was taking adult art classes. The first two years of high school she was introduced to lots of mediums: watercolor, pen and ink, etc., that added to her many years of painting in oils.

During her last two years of high school, in her little town in Texas, she was not only on the yearbook staff, taking team pictures for the cover and writing copy, she was doing photography for weddings, portraits and even glamour shots. She was also doing technical drawings, which paid well, and working in just about every facet of art and photography. And since this was back in the ‘80s, there were no computer programs to make these projects faster or easier.

And why would anyone care if she then moved into window display work with a budget of almost nothing? It will all make sense when we make the local connection. Meanwhile, she had to learn to be incredibly creative with the materials she had in order to create art in two large store windows. The materials available were a standing mannequin with only one arm and a mannequin with only an upper body. For a beach scene she found bolts of beige fabric left in the store’s attic, which she used for the sand.

She painted seagulls, cut them out and hung them from the ceiling. She sat the half mannequin on the “sand” so it looked like he was buried up to his waist and hid the other’s missing arm by posing him with an umbrella. But it was this training that taught her simplicity, which she would use the rest of her life.

Between Texas and Virginia she learned ad-copy illustration and was doing some impressive projects for upscale stores where in 1983 dresses started at $300.

You might say she learned graphic art and photography from the skin out.

Soon there were illustrated annual reports and brochures and even radio spots, fashion illustrations and ads for the high-end Klinck’s Drug Store. There wasn’t anything this young woman couldn’t do.

When she finally settled down and got married, she

She’s so talented

and her husband moved to a town house in Alexandria that had an absolutely bare yard. She had never gardened before, but decided that it would be a pleasant summer pursuit. She started with two small garden plots, and during the winter she contented herself with doing crafts. As she began to get more and more interested in gardening she went online to see what was out there for seeds, native seeds like milkweed. Lo and behold, up pops the Happy Tonics site, the organization that funds and sponsors the restored native tall-grass prairie in Shell Lake, better known as the Monarch Butterfly Habitat.

She ordered some seeds and was impressed with the executive director Mary Ellen Ryall’s response. Not only did she mail out the seeds, but kept up a running dialogue and soon they became Internet friends.

Soon Dyer was doing the beautiful newsletter and creating a logo for the sanctuary while creating postcards, posters and greeting cards which are sold online and in the store on Fifth Avenue in Shell Lake. There will soon be coloring books for kids with information in the back for adults as to how to start a butterfly garden, listing the Happy Tonics Web site.

Meanwhile Dyer’s garden went from two small plots to a backyard to die for. There’s a gazebo and a pond, complete with fish, and paths, all created with an artist’s eye. She even formed a garden club that has also grown as the years progressed.

The Nikon camera company came calling, nikonusa.com, when she entered a contest for garden shots. They loved her work, but some of the photos she’d submitted were taken with a different camera and they requested she retake the shots using a Nikon. No problem; that is if they had requested the shots months earlier. It was the end of summer in the garden and the original plants were looking pretty bad.

So she trotted off to the greenhouses and bought what she needed for replacement plants. If you go to the site, you’d never know that almost every shot had to be completely replanted for the new shoot.

What a privilege for Happy Tonics to have her expertise available online. According to Ryall, “A few years ago, Cindy Dyer offered to produce Happy Tonics newsletter and jump-start the publication to a professional level. Her text layout and graphic art were exquisite. We produced the newsletter for several years before the Internet exploded with other publishing options.”

Cindy Dyer, who grew up in Texas and lives in Virginia, is lending her vast expertise to the Happy Tonics organization that sponsors the Monarch Butterfly Habitat in Shell Lake. - Special photo

At that point both Happy Tonics and Dyer Design jumped off the printed page into Internet publishing.

They have both been publishing blogs and linking into the Internet’s social network and in 2009, Dyer became Happy Tonics volunteer vice president of marketing and its graphic artist.

“In 2011, we partnered and started a publishing house called Butterfly Woman Publishing,” Ryall noted.

“Cindy’s name should be up in lights as her father said.

She is even more that I expected and ever so talented that we are merrily going on our way through the cosmic Internet opportunities that brought us together to begin with.”

Recycling 2011: A primer of how to do it with panache

by Diane Dryden SHELL LAKE - Everything old is new again. Whatever it is - fashion, medicine, ways of life - it all goes around in a large cycle - here today, gone tomorrow and back again 50 years later.

The United States seems to be right on track as we dip back into the 1950s with plaids and argyle patterns everywhere and retro kitchen appliances on the hot list.

Something else that’s making a huge return is recycling. Years ago, when people recycled, it was because it saved money. Plastic bags were washed and used again, string was saved on the official string ball, rubber bands, safety pins and paper clips were coveted, as were various-sized cardboard boxes, because they could be used for mailing packages way before the post office started supplying them.

Today, much of our recycling isn’t because we need the products later, but it’s to make better use of the products we use every day. Take Neil Wienbergen, for example. This Spooner High School graduate spent 20 years working for the postal system and even did a bit of trading as a stock broker. In 2000, he bought Wolverine Tire and Auto Care in Spooner and began his recycling career in earnest while servicing vehicles with tires and providing fluid replacements like oil and transmission fluid, etc., brake work, shocks and struts, and alignments.

“Tires are one of those cradle-to-the-grave products that the seller handles,” Wienbergen said. “We take them off vehicles when customers buy new ones and we are responsible for them, from buying them new to finding places for used tires to go. In Alabama, there are 34 million tires recycled annually into a ground-up product called crumb that’s added to their highwaypaving material.”

Side notes about other materials that are being stud-

ied in the United States, including for use in the northern states, are recycled roof shingles. Because of their high asphalt content, they can be ground and used as part of the hot mix for roadways. Where recycled tires only work in the warm southern states, in the north, old tires often go to incinerators, like the ones in Barron County, and are used in the concrete manufacturing plants because they burn so hot.

Wienbergen also recycles the lead weights that were used before the new steel ones for tire alignment.

“I donate them to the Indianhead Rifle and Pistol Club,” Wienbergen said. “They cast them in molds for bullets. I probably donate several thousand pounds per year.”

Since one of the various services he offers includes oil changes, Wienbergen began to heat his main building in 2002 with the cleaned oil, and then in 2003 he added the shop to his recycled heat.

“Since the shop generates more waste oil - which includes brake, hydraulic, transmission and power steering fluids as well as waste oil - than we can use, we sell some of it back for $1 per gallon,” he noted. “The rest we clean and store and use all winter. The furnace was designed specifically for fuel oil by adding air power to blow the fuel against a piece that looks like a giant stainless-steel frying pan that burns itself out every two years because of the intense heat that’s produced. The furnace requires a continuous supply of oil sprayed on the pan using compressed air. We also needed a ClassA chimney that was properly installed, and we invested in tanks for the proper containment of the waste oil. We go through about 4,000 gallons of recycled oil a year and it cuts our heating bill down to practically nothing.”

Wienbergen carries through his recycling in his own home and life because it just “makes sense.”

Time to sign up for Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program

WASHBURN COUNTY — The Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program provides assistance for heating costs, electric costs and energy crisis situations. Your household may be based on a number of factors.

Households must complete a Home Energy Plus application through the local WHEAP agency. For more information and how to apply, please call Washburn County Human Services at 715-468-4782.

Walk-in applications will be taken every Wednesday from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. beginning Wednesday, Oct. 5, and ending May 13, 2012, at the Ed Elliott Building, 110 4th Avenue, Shell Lake.

Applications will also be taken at the following outreach sites: Springbrook Town Hall, Tuesday, Sept. 20, 9 a.m. - noon; or at the Oscar Johnson 4-H Building at the Washburn County Fairgrounds in Spooner on Wednesday, Sept. 21, from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Applicants must provide verification of income (earned and unearned) for all household members for the previous three months to the date of application; Social Security cards for all household members; current utility bills; and a photo ID for first-time applicants.

WHEAP assistance is a one-time payment during the heating season, Oct. 1-May 15. The funding pays a por-

tion of the heating and electric costs, but the payment is not intended to cover the entire cost of heating a residence. The amount of the heating assistance benefit varies depending on a variety of factors, including the household’s size, income and heating costs.

by Pauline Lawrence

Sunday was Sept. 11 and the TV was full of that terrible day here in the USA 10 years ago. Such a terrible day it was! Yes, 2,977 people were killed plus many more were wounded. It’s a day many of us won’t forget. It was such a tragedy.

On to happier topics.

Happy birthday to Kyle Hoppe and Andrea Redding on their special day, Sept. 15. Many more to you.

Happy anniversary to Mike and Tammy (Bakker) Dahle on their special day, Sept. 16. This makes five years, many more to you.

Sept. 17, a very happy birthday to Daniel Peterson on his special day. Many more to you.

Happy birthday to Darrell Thomas Petz on his special day Sept. 18, with many more.

Sept. 19, a very happy birthday to Brenda Albee on her special day with many more to come. Also birthday wishes go out to Adam James Meister on his special birthday with many more. And a very happy birthday to Jonathon Beecroft on his special day, Sept. 19.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Margaret Olson of Frederic who passed away. Services were held at Zion Lutheran in Trade Lake with burial in Lakeview Cemetery in Hertel. She will be remembered by a large host of relatives and friends.

Isn’t it nice to see those soybeans turning a beautiful yellow? Yes, it’s that time of year to ooh and aah with the beautiful crops including corn that’s getting white and to

see those beautiful leaves that are starting to turn. Enjoy it as it doesn’t last long.

News from the Dewey Town Board finds they met Sept.

6 at the Dewey Town Hall. There was a cabin on Poquette that someone wanted to rent out which isn’t legal. This person wanted to buy it and make payments and in a few years after renting it out would be able to purchase it. The Burnett County Board gave the issue a no. Our government wants the board to have an employee grievance procedure so the Dewey board left it up to our Chairman Mark Knoop to get a lawyer for this. It was also discussed that all assessing will be on computer by 2013. The next Dewey Town Board meeting is Oct. 11, 8 p.m., at the Dewey Town Hall. Everyone welcome.

It’s really nice to see our dairy farmers will be getting $21.67 for 3.5-percent milk. It’s about time they get a raise.

I noticed the blackbirds are flocking together so they will be flying off to warmer climates.

I saw on our lawn Sept. 5 we had some white frost. Just a teaser for now.

Last weekend, Jerry and Gretchen Best were at her mom’s, Lillian Strege’s, in Luck. Saturday they went to Gretch’s nephew, Josh and Carrie Strege’s, and also Chris and his wife and son and Mitchell Strege all enjoyed a good time. While there Jerry and Gretchen were surrounded by soybean fields. The Bests also stayed over Sunday night at Lillian’s. Sunday there were lots of relatives there again.

Talking with Marv Knoop we find he has been going fishing on Bashaw Lake and is catching nice crappies.

Good eatin’, isn’t it Marv?

Evelyn Melton tells me that her honey, Cecil, came home from the hospital a week ago Thursday. We wish Cecil many get-well messages.

There was a wedding Saturday at the Lake Park Alliance Church joining Kristen Williams and Scott Carls as man and wife. The children of Scott and the children of Kristen were involved in the wedding. Later a party was held at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s with all of Kristen’s sis-

ters and brothers and Scott’s mom and sister attending.

We wish the newlyweds many happy years together.

Loretta VanSelus tells us she attended the Spooner Church of the Nazarene children’s picnic on Sunday. She also tells me that Butch and she have been attending their grandkids sporting events.

Saturday found Rory and myself going to Chetek to Penny and Jeff’s and their three little munchkins with Paula and Kenzie Cramer and Kenzie’s boyfriend and Paula Eaton joining us to make salsa. We ended up with 11 batches and it makes 10 pints to a batch so the girls will have lots. It was also Paula Eaton’s birthday so Penny’s three kids brought her a beautiful birthday cake.

News from the Fjelstad Palace finds last weekend Phil and Rose Deede came to visit. Monday the Greg Dorweiler family visited Bob and Kris. Tuesday Gary and Sue Peterson visited Bob. Later Bob visited Elmer Talbert. The ladies of the Lakeview UMC served lunch for Nora Searles’ funeral on Tuesday. Wednesday, the Clam River Tuesday Club met at Sandy Redding’s. At this meeting they had election for the club members. They also continued planning for the October Festival for Saturday, Oct. 15, at Indian Creek. Thursday, Bob visited Elmer Talbert. Friday Kris was in Rice Lake. While Kris was gone, Bob Garcia visited Bob. Bob visited with Greg, Tyler and Emily Dorweiler. Saturday Kris’ son, Roger Dawley, and daughter Abby visited and Roger brought his mom two butterfly pins. Later he took his mom, Kris, out to Tony’s for lunch.

Also, Gladys Knoop came bearing flowers for Kris’ birthday. Bob and Kris visited Gary and Sue Peterson. Sunday Kris visited Mark and Noel and in the evening Bob and Kris took a pontoon ride around Bashaw Lake. As you all know, Kris’ life is very busy now at this time of year.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Nora Searles who passed away recently.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Barronett by Judy Pieper

Hi again. Hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. It was a little cool and rainy. OK, a lot cool and rainy. But it was fun getting together with the whole family anyway.

I imagine most of the farmers in the area were about as worried about the weather as our son-in-law, Ryan.

We were watching the weather report that weekend, and the temperatures were in the 30s in northern Minnesota. He said that he needed about one more month without a freeze for the corn to be nice and ripe. If this past week is any indication, the farmers won’t have a problem. It’s been so warm and sunny that we hardly need sweaters.

Hopefully the weather will stay sunny for at least one more week. The Color Fest, our big Barronett event of the year, is coming up this weekend. It will start out on Friday at 5 p.m. with a spaghetti supper and, after all kinds of fun things to do, finish up with raffle prizes being awarded on Sunday evening. I really hope you can spend at least one day this weekend with us. More if you have time. There will be a cakewalk for the little ones on Friday evening, hayrides, Bingo, and someone will be helping them make s’mores at the bonfire.

Saturday starts out with the walk and fun run at 8 a.m. There will be outdoor craft booths and farmers market. Of course the big sporting event of the weekend is the men’s slow-pitch softball tournament, which starts out at 9 a.m. on Saturday and runs until whatever time they finish on Sunday evening.

I noticed that someone, most likely Rambo, has the track all set up for the Dairyland garden tractor pull.

That event certainly draws a crowd. It’s fun to watch the little guys and girls compete. And, for the kids who don’t have access to a garden tractor, the Wisconsin state sanctioned kid’s pedal tractor pull will take place on Sunday at noon.

At 3:30 Sunday afternoon there will be a kiddy parade, so, hopefully, some of the tractors will be in that event. I’m sure there will be a lot of bikes, trikes and wagons, too.

Registration for the baking contest will be at 1 p.m.

Saturday, with judging beginning at 3:30 p.m. The re-

Heart Lake news

Monday, Sept. 12, what a beautiful morning, but we still have hot days before we start feeling the fall weather.

Sept. 11 went by without any tragedies in the world.

TV put on lots of coverage and you almost relive it again.

Arlys Santiago along with her sister, Audrey, returned home just before Labor Day after visiting her sister, Avis Paulsen, in Verndale, Minn. Avis is now completely recovered from her surgery.

Mary and John Marschall attended Mary’s 30th class reunion starting with the football game on Friday night and to Becky’s after. On Saturday the classmates were invited to Mary’s home for dinner and then the street dance.

There were about 20 classmates and spouses in attendance.

This Sunday, Karen and Ben Holzein were supper guests of Mary and John Marschall.

Wendell Lee Turpin and son Shaun spent several days here from Whiting, Ind. On Monday, Sept. 5, Wendell

treated lunch at Lakeview Hotel for Helen V. Pederson, Jeff, and Harriet and Dale Larson of Rice Lake. We had a good time of visiting.

Sue and Larry Winner stopped in to see Helen V. Pederson and took her out for a ride after lunch on Labor Day. Brent and Nick Pederson, who reside and work in Minneapolis, Minn., came up to their home last week. Brent went bear hunting and Nick worked on his deer stand.

Brent is starting his new job this week and the boys live together.

Brent and Jeff Pederson visited Helen V. one day last week.

On Sunday, Salem Lutheran had, as their pastor for the day, the Rev. Todd Iverson, associate to our bishop.

Not much news this week. I think it’s been too hot for most folks to be out and about.

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

quired ingredient this year is lemon. The friendly neighborhood moocher will be one of the judges again this year, so I hope we have so many entries that even Terry will be too full to eat another bite.

The smear tournament starts at 4 p.m. Saturday, and the home run tournament is at 5 p.m.

There will also be the wine and cheese-tasting event on Sunday afternoon, always a big crowd-pleaser, and a keg toss and brick bounce contest and horseshoes.

You know, of course, that Barronett Lutheran women will be serving pie and ice cream all weekend in their usual place. And that worship service will be at 9 a.m. at the community center. The service at Color Fest is always great because we sing all the old hymns that everyone knows by heart. After the service the women will be serving freshly baked cinnamon rolls. I really hope you will join us for that.

I guess I could go on and on about all the events going on this weekend, but I’ll let you look at the fliers that are posted on bulletin boards all around the area as well as the ad in the paper. I’m sure you’ll find activities that will be fun for your whole family. Please come over and join us.

Terry Goodrich called to let us know about a Doberman who seems to have an IQ of about 140 - hmmm.

Heck of a lot smarter than me. Anyway, the dog belongs to Tom, one of the guys who work with Terry in Rice Lake. Tom’s wife has a green thumb and especially loves to grow big, beautiful flowers so Tom is always building her bigger and better flower beds. Anyway, women being women and dogs being dogs, you know that once in a while Tom’s wife feels the need to discipline the dog. Luckily, because of the size of the Doberman, he doesn’t get mad — he gets even. Every time she does something that annoys him — such as disciplining him — he goes out and digs up one of her plants, roots and all, and puts it in the driveway where she will be sure to notice it. I’m not sure if they keep score, but it sounds like it would be about Doberman 50, wife 0.

I have one more story to tell you about Loren and Emma O’Neal and the farm. You might remember that they were learning how to milk cows a couple of weeks

ago. Well, they decided that it would be really great to live on a farm if it wasn’t stinky, and there weren’t so many flies, and there wasn’t cow manure all over the place. Then one of them came up with a great idea: Suzy and Ryan could tie those little car air-freshener trees to all the cows’ tails. Doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me.

Tinille Lehmann took first place in the Brill Harvest Days 5K race this past weekend. Quite the little runner for someone who hasn’t been training for the past few years.

Lynn Thon and I went to Ashland to attend the first birthday party for our adorable little granddaughters/great-granddaughters Kaitlynn and Jessica Holmen. Kaitlynn and Jessica were eating cupcakes when we got there, and had yellow frosting all over their faces, which made them even sweeter than usual. They had a wonderful time celebrating with lots of their little cousins, aunts and uncles.

That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. I hope you can make it to the Color Fest. I know you’ll have fun if you come. See you later.

It’s exciting to visit the beautiful Albert Memorial Chapel in London.

As you walk down the aisles you’re thrilled by the lifelike carvings of Bible characters. And they’re all doing the same thing: pointing their fingers toward the altar of the church.

What’s at the altar? An empty tomb.

And the Lord Jesus is coming out of the tomb, full of life and love.

Now our living Lord can be with you in your sorrow to comfort you, in your loneliness to cheer you, in your temptations to strengthen you and at death to take you safely home to heaven.

Aren’t you glad?

Kindergarteners learn bus safety

Students in kindergarten classes of Janie LaFave and Kelly Crede at Shell Lake Primary School had a bus safety demonstration with transportation director Boyd Anderson on Wednesday, Sept. 7. Statistics show that the safest way for children to get to and from school is on the school bus.

Boyd Anderson is showing the young riders the proper distance around a school bus.

Students are taught that under no circumstance should they try to retrieve anything that might have rolled or blown under the bus.

Hope Larson, Cassidy Johnson and Max Elliott are learning the correct way to get on and off the school bus.

The most dangerous time for the children riding on the school bus is when they are getting on or off the bus. Learning the correct way will minimize their chances of getting hurt.

DAHLSTROM S 542207 49rtfc

The bus driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view is obscured with blind spots and sun glare on the windows. Children waiting for the bus need to stand a safe distance off the road, remain still when the bus is stopping and wait for the bus driver to signal them to cross the road. The bus driver will check the traffic before signaling them.

He began his career in real estate development in 1984 while attending Maryville University where he specialized in corporate real estate, primarily in the gas/convenience store industry. In 1991, he moved to Minnesota to manage Amoco Oil’s Upper Midwest real estate holdings and development. Sacco later started his own retail property development firm and served as real estate manager for SuperAmerica and then Holiday Stationstores.

Shortly after moving to Minnesota, Sacco visited friends with a cabin on Long Lake and fell in love with the area. In 2005, he was presented with an opportunity to work in northwestern Wisconsin, and he and his wife moved their family to Washburn County. Sacco said, “We love it.

No traffic. We wake up each morning marveling that we get to call this place home.

“Living in a smaller community has given me the opportunity to get involved in a wide variety of community organizations, including the Spooner Area Chamber of Commerce, the Long Lake Preservation Association and St. Francis de Sales School.” Continuing, “We have met a lot of great people along the way.

Since joining Edina Realty in 2008, I’m now able to blend my passion for real estate and Northwest Wisconsin into a career which has the potential to help others make their dreams come true.”
