SPOONER — The Washburn County Land and Water Conservation Department is hosting a free Clean Boats, Clean Waters workshop on Saturday, April 18. The workshop will be held from 9-11 a.m. at the DNR Service Center, 810 W. Maple St., a half mile west of Spooner on Hwy. 70. Through this program, citizens are trained to be watercraft inspectors by educating boaters and anglers about aquatic invasive species, such as Eurasian water milfoil and zebra mussels, at local boat landings. Participants will receive hands-on training of invasive species identification. Instructions on how to organize a volunteer inspection program will also be discussed. To register for this training, please contact Lisa Burns at 715-468-4654 or email at lburns@co.washb​urn. wi.us. — from WCLWCD

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — Wisconsin anglers annually catch 3.3 million game fish in Wisconsin lakes.

Of that, 54 percent of muskies, 14 percent of walleyes, 11 percent of inland trout, and 5 percent of northern pike are stocked fish.

“Fish stocking in Wisconsin has been going on since the 1800s. We’ve been stocking walleye in some waters for many, many years,” said Steve Hewett, Department of Natural Resources section chief for fisheries policy in Madison. Fishing in Wisconsin is not just a page in a history book. Fishing is part of the state’s economy, generating billions in retail sales, taxes and in turn, jobs for residents.

Research studies report that walleye populations have decreased in recent years and that’s not good news, as walleyes are one of the most popular fish species for anglers. Hewitt explained that how walleyes reproduce could be part of the problem. Walleyes leave their eggs in shallow waters along shorelines exposed to Mother Nature’s whims. If a series of hard springs occur, with cold temperatures or storms, vulnerable walleye eggs are lost. Years later that loss is reflected in decreased walleye populations. The DNR thinks that stocking larger, older

Preparations under way for Hwy. 63 construction in Shell Lake Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Activity marking the beginning of the Hwy. 63 project is getting under way in Shell Lake. Crews were out last week flagging utility lines in preparation for their relocation before the construction begins. On Thursday, April 9, project engineers were in Shell Lake for a public information meeting on the project.

“A new roadway will yield a nicer and safer ride for those living in the city as well as those passing through,” said Phil Keppers, project

manager. Construction will involve widening the highway from Third Street to CTH B east.

It is scheduled to begin at the end of April and continue to the end of August. Keppers explained that reconstruction of this portion of highway was chosen due to the condition of the pavement, pedestrian safety issues and safety issues in making left turns.

To address these issues, this section will be-

Washburn County contested municipal election results Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Of the 21 towns in Washburn County, 12 had contested elections on Tuesday, April 7. The villages of Birchwood and Minong also had contested elections. The following are the results for those elections.

The village of Birchwood elected one new trustee to its village board. Rocky Van Gilder received 90 votes; incumbent Stacie Small tallied 81 votes to fill the second seat on the board.

The village of Minong had a write-in election for its village president. Michael Bobin won that election, gathering 13 write-in votes for the position.

The Town of Barronett re-elected the previous chair, Jerry O. Chartraw, with 67 votes. Challenger Doug Kelder received 51 votes. The election for two supervisor positions went to Jake Anderson with 67 votes and Kevin W. Smith with 66.

The Town of Bashaw had a contest for the position of town chair, with incumbent Jerry Trcka running against David Wilson. Trcka was re-elected as chair by a margin of 38 votes.

Brooklyn had a contest for treasurer with incumbent Ann L. Peterson and Karen Ostrowski running for the position.

Peterson will remain in that position after receiving 47 votes over the 12 Ostrowski tallied.

Casey had a contested election for town

chair between Thomas J. Mackie and Randall Slabaugh. Mackie was elected to the position with 53 votes over the 31 Slabaugh received.

Chicog had contests for chair, clerk and treasurer. Patrick Wilcox, incumbent, and Mac McCauley were listed for chair. Wilcox remains in the chair position after collecting 104 votes; McCauley gathered 39.

The election for town clerk was between Teresa L. Corrie and Cathy McDowell, and with 118 votes, Corrie will be clerk.

Caroline Jean Kamin and Kathy Strohmeyer were both listed as candidates for town treasurer. Kamin tallied 36 votes while Strohmeyer gathered 105 and the position.

Evergreen had contests for chair with Melvin Bill LaPorte and Tim Kessler running for the position. Laport walked away with 147 votes over Kessler’s 81.

Frog Creek had a contest for supervisor two with incumbent Kathy Walker and Lance Ausing listed for the position, but Walker tallied 27 and retained her position on the board.

Madge had four candidates running for two supervisor positions. Those candidates were incumbent Derrick Olson, Joseph F. Sprenger, Kevon Cronk and Glen

Fish/from page 1 provements and $1.3 million a year for annual operating costs to expand production at DNR state fish hatcheries.

Not all of the DNR’s 17 hatcheries can both hatch eggs and rear fish but the Gov. Tommy G. Thompson State Fish Hatchery does. It is located on Hwy. 70 across from the DNR Northern Regional Headquarters, in Spooner. This facility hatches and rears muskellunge, walleye, northern pike and suckers. As part of the Wisconsin Walleye Initiative the Thompson hatchery has received nearly $2.5 million to bring the facility to top fish production levels.

“The first priority of this project is to make the necessary repairs to the hatchery to maintain and protect the current large fingerling walleye production that we’re doing,” said Neal Rosenberg, hatchery group leader for Northwest Wisconsin. The second priority is to increase the large walleye fingerling production from 60,000 to 120,000 to well over 500,000 by 2016. Right now the hatchery is producing almost 300,000 large fingerling walleyes; that’s anything over 6 inches.

“Basically we’re just beefing up our biosecurity that’s in the hatchery, maintaining and protecting what we have right now,” said Rosenberg. The six projects have been broken down into two phases.

The first phase will fix four of 46 hatchery ponds that have had ongoing problems with their levies. Phase two will involve

updating intake screens on the Yellow River Flowage, which supplies water to the hatchery.

“The water from the flowage flows into a filtration building; inside that building we’re going to put two new drum screens so we will have a better filtration system,” said Rosenberg. From there the water flows into the hatchery and a rebuilt UV disinfection system will kill any viruses present in the water before it enters the hatchery. The current UV system doesn’t disinfect all of the water that enters the hatchery. Within the hatchery itself an isolation room called a bio-secure egg disinfection room will be built for when eggs collected in the wild are brought into the hatchery so they can be disinfected before being introduced into the main hatchery.

A car-wash bay will also be built in an existing storage building so hatchery staff can disinfect hatchery trucks, boats and gear.

Projects plans are still with engineers, but work is anticipated to start around June or July this summer. Parts of phase two will start in this year but end in 2016.

More information about the Wisconsin Walleye Initiative is available on the DNR website dnr.wi.gov by searching walleye.

Keppers explained that during construction traffic will be flagged through on either the northbound or southbound lanes depending on the phase of the construction. In order for the contractor to complete underground utility work, a four-day detour bypassing Hwy. 63 will begin Monday, June 8. Traffic will be detoured on Hwy. 48 and Hwy. 53 around the project, the same route all semitruck traffic will take during the project.

Minong had contested elections for a supervisor position and constable. David E. Conaway and Roger Wojt ran for supervisor seat one, but Wojt tallied 92 votes and will fill that supervisor position. The election for constable was between Erik Gulbrandsen, incumbent, and Fred A. Briggs. In the end Gulbrandsen tallied 137 votes and held onto his previous position.

Springbrook had a contest for town chair between David G. Baumgarten, incumbent, and Lawrence W. Neste Jr. An unusual event occurred after the votes were tallied; the town had a tie between

the candidates with votes split, 45 to 45.

Kathleen Helm, town clerk, explained that the tie will be settled at the town meeting on Tuesday, April 14. Lolita Olson, Washburn County clerk, will be present and candidates will draw cards, the candidate with the highest card will be the new chairman.

Trego had three candidates running for two supervisor seats. Wes Huffer, incumbent, Howard Schmock, incumbent, and William Allard were listed for that election. New candidate William Allard received the most votes with 104 and gained a supervisor position. The other seat went to Huffer who got 90 votes.

Letters to the editor April 19 - Freedom Day Two hundred forty years ago on April 19, 1775, a group of Americans, mostly farmers and their sons, who called themselves Minute Men, left their plowing and seeding, picked up their crude muskets and met at Lexington Green and the Concord Bridge to face the mightiest army in the world. A battalion of British soldiers in their bright-red uniforms and carrying Brown Bess muskets with large bayonets marched that morning from Boston westward to seize the arms of the pesky rebels.

At Lexington, shots were fired at the 38 rebels who then dispersed as the British fired and Americans died. The British continued their march to Concord and again

shots were fired and more men died. The pesky rebels came swarming from everywhere, and without much organization or leadership they harassed that mighty army all the way back to Boston.

At the Rev. William Emerson home in Concord, which adjoined the Concord River bridge, the reverend had full vision out of his study of the action at the bridge about 200 feet away. The reverend then joined the rebel cause as a chaplain and died a short time later after becoming ill at Rutland, Vt. And three British soldiers who died at the bridge that day are buried on the Emerson lot with a plaque to mark their deaths.

A large memorial of the Concord battle was placed 61 years later at Concord’s North Bridge to commemorate the events of 1775. The ceremony at Concord on April 19, 1836, included singing a hymn written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the reverend’s grandson. A shorten version of that hymn would say “By the rude bridge that arched the flood, the embattled farmers stood and fired the shots heard ‘round the world.” The start of the American Revolution, which led to the nation we live in today.

April 19 – Freedom Day. One can only wonder why that date isn’t marked on all our calendars. Or perhaps what they

did that day is no longer important in our self-absorbed world.

Regardless, shouldn’t we have a moment of silence on each succeeding April 19 morning to reflect what those common, everyday farmers did that day? Who today would stand to face a large armed force with only one-shot muskets and no defense against the big bayonet? Do we even know the names of those heroes?

Thank you for your interest Whether you, as a candidate, were elected or not, or whether your candidate, as a voter, won or was unsuccessful, I for one am very delighted that so many

sought the position of school board member in the district of Shell Lake.

There were no losers, as each showed that they were earnestly interested in

serving their community, devoted to supporting the education of our children and showed their respect for this district’s educators and administration.

Thank you for your interest!

The future of Wisconsin’s resources are at stake An editorial in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on April 7 states: “Once again, Gov. Scott Walker’s budget is taking Wisconsin in the wrong direction. Instead of spending more to curb runoff pollution, the 2015-17 budget actually cuts programs that address the problem.”

The governor’s budget cuts $5.7 million from programs needed to address runoff problems. The cuts would eliminate 18.4 scientists, reduce funding and staff at the county and state levels, diminish the university’s outreach, and cut funding to sporting organizations that work to improve water quality and habitat.

The quality of Wisconsin’s water due to

polluted runoff is our most serious water quality issue.

Excess water running from rooftops, hard surfaces, construction sites, lawns, gardens, and farm fields is loaded with pollutants: manure, soil, fluid spills, detergents, fertilizers.

Phosphorus, the largest contaminant, washing from farm fields, lawns and other sources can cause algae blooms and dead zones. A dead zone in a waterway is an area with low oxygen levels that can’t support aquatic life. The dead zone in Green Bay has gone from four days in 1990 to 43 days in 2014 and extends for about 38 miles. In 2015, the dead zone is expected to last longer and grow.

Ninety percent of inland lakes are de-

Spooner area blood drive collects 107 units SPOONER — The American Red Cross collected 107 units of blood at the recent Spooner area blood drive. Trinity Lutheran Church provided the building site for the drive, and the Spooner Rodeo Committee donated the food for the concession table. Volunteer and staff meals were furnished by Spooner Wesleyan Church and the Partners of Spooner Health System.

The American Red Cross extends gratitude to the donors and volunteers for their dedication and commitment to this

important community event. The following volunteers provided needed services in greeting and canteen assistance: Sandy Anderson, Noreen Barnes, Maxine Long, Deann McLellan, Miriam Michaelson, Ruth Skie, Susan Vold and Joanne Wanek.

The blood drive coordinator was Dawn Olson.

The next Spooner area blood drive will be Sept. 3-4, at the same location. — from Spooner area blood drive

Spooner graduate David Saffert returns home for concert SHELL LAKE — To commemorate its 25th-anniversary season, TitW is hosting a one-night concert event to be held at the Shell Lake Arts Center on Thursday April 23, at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy a memorable evening of music and laughter with one of TitW’s most endeared original youth members, David Saffert. Before graduating from Spooner in 1993, Saffert spread his acting wings in shows like TitW’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,” and “Lonely Hearts Can’t Be Broken.” Saffert now calls Portland, Ore., home, where audiences enjoy both his musical talents and his acting/comedic gifts. TiTW is proud to say “we knew him when …” and are excited to welcome him home.

Saffert currently works as a pianist for Portland Opera and Oregon Ballet Theatre. He has also had four successful runs of “David Saffert’s Birthday Bashstravaganza!” at Curious Comedy Theatre as part of Portland’s Fertile Ground Festival.

In addition to music, Saffert has worked his acting chops with Action/Adventure Theatre in their hit shows “Fall of the House” and “Fall of the Band.” Before moving to Portland, he worked in Minnesota at The Guthrie, Theatre de la Jeune Lune, History Theatre and James Sewell Ballet, as well as touring the nation in Troupe America’s “A Christmas Carol.”

Current projects include a live broadcast on All Classical Radio with host Robert

graded or threatened by polluted runoff.

Manure spreading by large dairy farms along with runoff is impacting groundwater quality in wells and streams. A 2013 study noted that 51 percent of 38 private wells in and around the Kinnard Farms in Kewaunee County exceeded state standards for nitrate levels and were considered unsafe.

The $7.5 million proposed cuts to address runoff obviously didn’t go far enough for the administrators at the Department of Natural Resources. They are deliberating the elimination of the Bureau of Science Services. The Bureau of Science Services “consists of researchers, analysts, and other critical thinkers who provide the expertise and foundation of all sci-

ence-based decision making at the DNR. The methods the DNR uses to manage wildlife and handle other environmental issues are built upon research completed by the bureau.” Researchers would move to other agencies under the reorganization plan. Politics and policy decisions, instead of impartial science, would be the drivers of decision making at the DNR according to critics.

Once again, we are seeing elections have consequences. The future of Wisconsin’s resources is at stake.

Shell Lake ice records, an indicator of climate change Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE – Record keeping connects us to the past. In northern Wisconsin keeping track of when the ice goes out on area lakes has been something of a seasonal pastime, used as friendly wagers amongst friends and neighbors or as a fundraiser. Since 1905 Washburn County clerks have been keeping records of the dates for ice-in and ice-out on Shell Lake for no known purpose, until now. Today those records are being used by scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency

as indicators of climate change.

The EPA defines climate change as any substantial change in measures of climate, like temperature and precipitation, that occur over decades or even longer.

To help people understand the causes and effects of climate change the EPA gathered information and data from 30 indicators and published a report in 2014.

One of these indicators is the duration of lake ice and that’s where Shell Lake’s ice records come in.

Shell Lake was selected as one of 14 water bodies in the northern United

Garden Connections helps the ICAA Food Pantry Maronda Klassa | Special to the Register SPOONER — It is springtime and the grass is starting to grow. People can’t wait to get outside and get fresh air. One springtime activity to start thinking about is gardening.

Gardening is a great way to be able to provide food for your family that doesn’t cost a lot of money. But it can take a lot of work. It can be hard to have a garden if you don’t have much land. If you have the land you may not need all the vegetables that your garden may grow. If your house is located in the woods your garden won’t get much sunlight, or perhaps you rent and the landlord won’t let you dig up your yard. Well, there may be a solution to your problems. A community garden is a great way to get fresh air, get fresh produce, and to socialize. To many people, gardening can be therapeutic.

Garden Connections and ICAA have teamed up to bring fresh produce to our local food pantry. They are doing this with the help of volunteers through a communal garden to grow up to three acres of fresh vegetables. The volunteers help provide the labor to plant the vegetables, weed and water the plants and also help with harvesting the plants. The garden is located northeast of Spooner. This project was started in 2012 and also operated in 2013. They have been able to grow about 4,000 to 6,000 pounds of produce each year. It will be operating this year as well.

The kinds of things this garden will be growing from started plants are broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, winter squash, summer squash, brussels

sprouts and lettuce. The vegetables they will also be growing from seed are peas, beets, green beans, yellow beans and potatoes. For herbs they will be growing parsley, cilantro and dill. This garden only uses natural products for their pesticides and no GMO seeds. They try to keep the garden as eco-friendly as possible.

All volunteers get to take home produce from the garden and the rest goes to support the Indianhead Community Action Agency Food Pantry. A local produce farmer who just wanted to give back to his local community started the idea of the garden. He loved to garden, he had the land, and he felt growing produce was a great way of giving back. The hard part of growing a garden this size is it’s a lot of work and sometimes, just like it takes a community to grow a child, it also takes a community to grow a garden. So if you are interested in supporting your community and getting fresh produce as well, you can sign up to help out at the ICAA Food Pantry on Hwy. 70 just next to the Job Center in Spooner. Also if you are interested in committing to this wonderful garden you should know that it will be a complete commitment from the start to finish, but it will only be for two to three hours a week, preferably the same time other volunteers are there as well. The garden will hopefully be opening the first week of May. For more information about the community garden please stop in at the Connections Store and More or call Dawn at 715-635-3975.

States because they had the longest term and most complete historical records of lake ice dates. When examining trends for climate change, having long-term records are key.

The lake-ice indicator measures the amount of time that ice is present on a lake. Since the formation of ice on lakes in the winter and its melt-off in the spring depend on climate factors like precipitation, temperature, cloud cover and wind, ice formation and breakup dates are key indicators of climate change. If lakes remain frozen for longer periods it can signify that the climate is cooling while shorter periods of ice cover suggest a warming climate.

From these records the lake-ice indicator shows compelling evidence that most lakes in the northern United States are freezing later and thawing earlier compared with the 1800s and early 1900s.

Thaw dates for most of the lakes show

Washburn County accident reports On Tuesday, March 12, at 12:38 p.m. Jeffery Johnson, 56, of Chanhassen, Minn., was southbound on Hwy. 63, when he hit a deer half a mile south of Brickman Lake Road in the Town of Stinnett. Johnson was not injured, but his 2015 Dodge Ram was disabled.

Walsh had exited the vehicle by the time Washburn County Sheriff’s Deputy Wayne Johnston arrived. Walsh said he had back pain and that he had blacked out or fallen asleep while driving and had left the roadway, crashing into the garage.

Walsh also stated he had been drinking since about 10 a.m. that day. In the report Johnston stated he detected the smell of alcohol and that Walsh’s speech was slurred, but he was unable to conduct a standard field sobriety test on Walsh because Walsh was in pain and unable to focus. Walsh consented to a blood draw and was transported to the Shell Lake emergency room by ambulance. Walsh was driving a 2002 Buick Le Sabre, which was towed. Walsh was cited for operating

Local resident wins free fuel from Cenex Tanks of Thanks® program rewards Washburn County resident for making a difference in the community ST. PAUL, Minn. - A local resident has received a special thank-you for her contributions to the community.

Rebecca Henning, of Spooner, was selected to receive free fuel from Tanks of Thanks®, a program that rewards people who do good deeds to help make their communities just a little bit better.

The Tanks of Thanks program from Cenex Harvest

Henning was nominated for working at her local nursing home and donating her time to youth ministry at her church. Recently, Henning was selected to receive a $50 Tanks of Thanks gift card, which is redeemable at any Cenex location.

“There are people doing good things in every community, and these acts of kindness do not go unnoticed or unappreciated,” explains Akhtar Hussain, CHS refined

fuels brand marketing manager. “Congratulations to Rebecca Henning, and thank you for your contributions to the community.”

According to Hussain, Tanks of Thanks is a multiyear program, so there is plenty of time to nominate someone for free fuel. “Nominating someone for Tanks of Thanks is easy, and anyone can nominate or be nominated for any act of kindness ­big or small.”

Cast announced for May production of “Mama Drama” SHELL LAKE — Rehearsals have begun for Theatre in the Woods’ spring production, a play that brings out the drama, the trauma, the comically absurd moments of motherhood, sisterhood and parenthood.

If you are a daughter, sister, mother, friend, brother, son, father or husband you will find moments of truth to laugh at, cry over or simply say, “Been there, done that,” with each scene of TitW’s presentation of this delightful two-act play,

originally produced by TitW in 1995.

Portraying five close friends who share moments of pleasure and panic through various motherhood experiences over a span of five years are Jessica de la Cruz, Janet Rowney, Jena Hammersberg, Jody Peck and Leila Jenkins. Additional cast members include Steven Farrow and Pete Hopke (each playing a doctor), Payton Anderson, LeAnn Johnson, Amy Stouffer, Rose Bauman and Danette Hopke. Chil-

dren’s voices will be by Ally de la Cruz, Isaac Hopke and others. Director Patti M. Fox, who was in this play when it was performed by TitW 20 years ago, is delighted to have a chance to work with her daughter, Jessica, and granddaughter Ally.

Performances will be held at the Erika Quam Memorial Theatre, 605 1st St. in Shell Lake. Dates are May 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 at 7 p.m., and May 3 and 10 at 2 p.m. For

the May 10 Mother’s Day performance pie and beverage will be offered for an additional cost. Reservations can be made by calling 715-468-4387 or online at titw. org. Subject matter is appropriate for mature audiences. Anyone wishing to help in any capacity should contact the director at pmfox@centurytel.net or 715-5200232. — from TitW

National Infant Immunization Week April 18-25 STATEWIDE – National Infant Immunization Week is an annual observance to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Vaccines are among the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions available for preventing disease and death. They not only help protect vaccinated individuals, but also help protect entire communities by preventing and reducing the spread of infectious diseases.

Among children born during 1994-2013, vaccination will prevent an estimated 322

million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations and 732,000 deaths over the course of their lifetimes.

It is recommended that all pregnant women receive the whooping cough vaccine, (Tdap), during the third trimester of each pregnancy to help protect their baby until they can receive vaccination at 2 months of age.

In 2014, 644 people in the U.S. were reported as having measles. As of March 6, 173 people in 17 states and the District of Columbia have been reported to have

measles. Many of these cases are part of a large, ongoing outbreak linked to an amusement park in California.

Immunization is a shared responsibility.

Families, health-care professionals and public health officials must work together to help protect the entire community. Giving babies the recommended immunizations by age 2 is the best way to protect them from 14 serious childhood diseases, like whooping cough and measles. Parents are encouraged to talk to their child’s doctor to ensure that their baby is up to

date on immunizations.

Currently, the United States has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in its history. The United States’ long-standing vaccine safety system ensures that vaccines are as safe as possible. As new information and science become available, this system is, and will continue to be, updated and improved.

For the latest information on all vaccines, visit these websites: vaccine.chop. edu and cdc.gov/vaccines/. - submitted

As a child I remember riding in the pickup truck with my dad to John and LaVonne Smith’s farm where John would dump raw milk from a milk can into the glass jar. Actually, I think we had two jars that were filled on each visit. I then remember a few years later when we would take the gallon jars to Duane and Uppy Jensen’s farm where they would be filled with raw milk from

the bulk tank. Once the milk had separated, we were supposed to ladle the cream off the top and place it into another container. If I was in a hurry to get some milk into a drinking glass or on top of my cereal that was poured into a bowl, I would just stir the cream into the milk. What percent milk would we then be drinking? It wasn’t a concern to me in my younger days.

The 1-gallon glass jar was also used for mixing up Kool-Aid or a nectar drink that Mom bought from the Rawleigh man. My siblings and I liked it when the Rawleigh man visited because he always had Chiclets gum to give us.

When making nectar or Kool-Aid in the glass

jar, we always used Mom’s metal sugar scoop that had a wooden handle with a red stripe, which was a little less than a cup. So for the 1-gallon jar, we would use two scoops. With the sweet tooth I always had, I usually added just a bit extra.

The 1-gallon glass jar was also used to hold the refrigerator pickles that Mom would make each summer.

That glass jar could also be seen sitting on the front step with water and tea bags making sun tea.

It wasn’t only liquid that went in to that jar. Mom would also store her homemade cake donuts in the glass 1-gallon jar. Believe it or not, I can still recall the sound that the metal cover made as I would unscrew it to reach in and grab out a spiced-to-perfection donut.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Popular songs and singers back in the 1940s

by Mary B. Olsen hen the year 1940 began I was only a child, but it was already a time of music becoming a part of our lives. We had radio and movies. There were Broadway musicals and the music could be heard almost everywhere. This was shortly before World War II started, and during the following years the war became the pervasive influence on music and popular culture.

It was a time like a pause before the main event. It was a time of innocence.

The music of the big bands was at its height; jazz and the blare of the brass surrounded us. Swing was in. Recordings were available to purchase and could be played in our homes. Do you know what a jukebox is?

People put in their coins and the jukeboxes played their selections from all the most popular songs. You found these music record players in diners and restaurants, roadhouses and taverns.

In 1940, 16-year-old Doris Day joined Les Brown’s Band. Also, Tommy Dorsey had a hit recording with Frank Sinatra. “I’ll Never Smile Again.” There’s a story about that song. The words and music were written

by Ruth Lowe in 1939. She was a pianist with Ina Ray Hutton and her all-girl orchestra. Her husband, Harold Cohen, had died after they were only married a few months. Tommy Dorsey tried to get Glenn Miller to use

W

the song but he turned it down. Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra made it with Frank singing it, and it was successful, what was called an outstanding hit. It was not long before young women were listening to Frank sing and swooning, something unheard of before that time.

Some of the hit songs of that year were later considered classics. Glenn Miller recorded “Imagination,” and “In the Mood.” He had a hit with “The Woodpecker Song,” with the funny, laughing woodpecker. It was a hit, not only for Glenn Miller, but for Kate Smith and the Andrews Sisters.

The Ink Spots had a hit with “Maybe,” and another, “When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano.” Bing Crosby had “Maybe,” too. Another of his hit records was “Only Forever,” the song he introduced in the movie “Rhythm on the River” for Paramount Pictures.

He recorded it on Decca. The song was written by Johnny Burke and James Monaco.

In 1940, Walt Disney released the movie “Pinocchio.”

It was Cliff Edwards who sang, “When You Wish Upon A Star” in the movie. Clifton Avon Edwards was known as “Ukelele Ike” and was an old-time vaudeville singer and musician. He was born in 1895, in Hannibal, Mo. He played jazz and did vocals and was a saloon singer.

Some of the songs he sang are memorable: “California, Here I Come,” “Hard Hearted Hannah,” “Yes Sir, That’s My Baby,” and “I’ll See You In My Dreams.” Cliff did the voice for the head crow in the Disney movie “Dumbo.” He sang “When I See An Elephant Fly.” Cliff was on radio, and on television, and had his own

shows, and on Broadway, but he fell on hard times and passed away at the age of 76 in a home for the aged.

Sad, but I’m sure there is a spot for ukelele players in heaven.

It was in the year 1940 that one of our classics was recorded by Jimmie Davis: “You Are My Sunshine.” He always claimed he wrote the song, but it’s not certain.

He certainly sang it and recorded it. What was called hillbilly music was being recorded but not regarded as high-caliber music. Jimmie Davis was one of the entertainers who started the trend that went on to become country music in our time. Jimmie Davis was born in a little sharecropper’s cabin in rural Louisiana. His parents had 11 children and they didn’t record his birth.

They say it was in September of 1899. Close enough. He went on to graduate from high school, and got degrees in college, and taught history and music. He taught students how to yodel. He sang songs and entertained in the style of Jimmie Rogers. He sang gospel and gained fame for his “Sunshine” song. Jimmie Davis was the governor of Louisiana from 1944 to 1948 and again from 1960 to 1964. He had a hit later, “There’s a New Moon Over My Shoulder.” He passed away in 2000.

It seems like yesterday when kids were all laughing Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!” like the woodpecker in the song. And I also remember a radio program featuring singing canaries, The Hartz Mountain Canaries, and it was lovely to hear on the radio. It was almost as good as having your own little yellow canary to brighten your days.

National Public Safety Telecommunications Week recognizes dispatchers SHELL LAKE — You may not personally know any of the people, recognize their names, or have heard anything about them before now. However, if you live in Washburn County, regularly visit, or pass through, they are very important people to you. They are your Washburn County emergency dispatchers, your first point of contact for any emergency you may have.

They are very important people to you.

These people staff Washburn County’s 24-hour, seven-days-per-week dispatch center. When you are sleeping, they are on the job. When you are enjoying a weekend, they are on the job. When you are celebrating a holiday, they are on the job. Emergencies do not take time off. It takes a special type of person to do this job well. It’s not just answering phone calls, it’s dealing with people in the worst moments of their lives. Nobody calls 911 when it’s a good day; they only call when everything is falling apart around them.

You generally only hear about dispatchers when somebody makes a mistake. Rarely do you hear about the times a dispatcher expeditiously dispatches and assists law enforcement, fire and EMS to emergency calls, when they reason with a suicidal caller, or calm a hysterical person at an accident scene until help arrives, or when they comfort family members in a death.

All this is accomplished while making critical decisions and taking actions within seconds. These are very important people to you; they save lives.

Administrators for the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office are committed to acquiring the best personnel, and providing them with the best training to serve the residents of Washburn County. National Public Safety Telecommunications Week is April 12-18. This week is a time to recognize this often times underappreci-

Public tips for calling in an emergency or incident • Stay calm, try not to get excited. It’s important that the dispatcher can understand what you are saying; speak clearly and calmly.

• Know the location. Whether you are on a highway, or at a residence, you need to know where you are. Get the address or pay attention to highway mile markers and roads you’re near. If you’re calling from a cell phone, not all cell phones allow dispatchers to track your location easily. It will save a great deal of time if you know the actual location of the emer-

Prescribed burns to improve wildlife habitat in area counties GRANTSBURG — The state Department of Natural Resources will be conducting prescribed burns this spring on various state lands and some private lands in Barron, Douglas, Polk, Washburn and Burnett counties including Crex Meadows and Fish Lake wildlife areas.

Parcels are typically burned on a twoto five-year rotation and vary in size from 10 to nearly 1,000 acres.

Fires are used in grassland management to improve wildlife habitat, control invasive plant species and reduce wildfire potential.

Prescribed burns also: • Stimulate prairie grass growth and improve habitat for upland game and

waterfowl.

• Create pockets of open water for waterfowl amidst cattails proliferating in low areas. Improve nesting cover for upland birds, such as waterfowl, sharptailed grouse and pheasants, and spur native vegetative growth for grassland songbirds.

• Help preserve grasslands and native flora, plant species sustained by natural fires prior to European settlement.

For prescribed burning information or specifics about an individual burn site contact Steve Hoffman, WDNR wildlife biologist, at 715-463-2739 or steven.hoffman@wisconsin.gov. — from WDNR

• If the dispatcher requests you to pause for a moment, do so. They also have to take care of radio traffic and other emergency services. They could be in the process of dispatching an officer to your emergency, and they need to be able to hear and understand that officer.

• Let the dispatcher guide the conversation. They are typing the information needed into a computer. It’s important you are patient so they get all of the information needed and it is accurate.

• Follow all directions. In some cases, the person taking your call will give you

directions. Listen carefully, follow each step exactly, and ask for clarification if you don’t understand.

• Pay attention to surroundings. You may be asked to describe victims, suspects, vehicles, or other parts of the scene.

It’s important you mention if a lane of traffic is blocked, or if there is debris in the roadway.

• Do not hang up the call until directed to do so by the dispatcher. — from Capt.

Rubesch named Minnesota Ultra Runner of the Year DULUTH, Minn. — At the annual meeting of the Minnesota Chapter of the United States Track and Field Association, former Spooner resident and Spooner High School graduate Chris Rubesch was named the 2014 Minnesota Mountain, Trail and Ultramarathon Runner of the Year.

Ultramarathons are races longer than a standard marathon, 26.2 miles. They are generally run on hiking trails rather than on roads as is more common with a standard marathon. Ultramarathons are often more hilly than road marathons.

For example, the Black Hills 100 has a cumulative vertical gain of over 16,000 feet, over three miles, and over 16,000 feet of descent.

In 2014, Rubesch’s ultramarathon race results included third place, Voyageur 50-mile Ultramarathon in Duluth, Minn.; second place, Black Hills 100-mile Ultramarathon in Sturgis, S.D., 19:43.12, fourth-fastest time in the history of the event; first place, Superior 50-mile Ultramarathon over the Superior Hiking Trail along Lake Superior, 8:56.33, 3 minutes off the course record; and first place, Glacial Trail 50k, 31 miles, in the Kettle Moraine State Forest of southern Wisconsin.

Dane County to offer free drivers ed to low-income students Program aims to fight inequity through transportation access

which costs $400. So out of that is born another disparity.”

A 2013 report called Race to Equity found AfricanAmericans in Dane County were five times more likely than whites to be unemployed. Parisi said it’s hard to find employment without access to transportation.

The Access to Opportunity initiative also helps drivers get their license back after revocation. These two driver programs, along with one on transitional jobs, cost about $58,000. Dane County is paying for them by transferring unused money from another program.

Shamane Mills | WPR News MADISON - Dane County’s executive signed a resolution Thursday, April 9, that will provide free drivers education to those who can’t afford it.

Dane County will pay for 50 low-income teenagers in the Madison Metropolitan School District to take drivers education. It’s part of an effort by Dane County Executive Joe Parisi called Access to Opportunity.

“I think a lot of people who don’t have kids in school now would be surprised to learn that drivers ed is no longer part of a high school experience,” Parisi said. “So what happens? You have to pay for your own course,

Dane County’s executive signed a resolution last week that will provide free drivers education to those who can’t afford it.

the EPA to take action where he claims Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources can’t or won’t.

“Especially in recent years with the cuts to staff at the DNR and scientists at the DNR, that’s only going to grow worse with recent budget proposals and cuts that have additional cuts to the DNR,” Hoegger said.

Kinnard Farms Inc. released a statement saying it is “committed to following stringent regulations.”

Patty Murray | WPR News NORTHEAST WISCONSIN - Environmental groups want the federal government to stop an expansion at a large dairy farm in northeastern Wisconsin.

Three environmental groups say Kinnard Farms is already contaminating groundwater and the situation will grow worse if it gets bigger. The Kewaunee County farm has more than 4,000 cows and a permit to grow to roughly 6,000 in the next two years.

The groups have formally asked the Environmental Protection Agency to rescind that expansion because of manure runoff. Dean Hoegger heads the Clean Water Action Council of Northeast Wisconsin. He said he wants

Scrapped frac sand mine means less cash for western Wisconsin town Independence mayor says planned infrastructure projects now on hold Rich Kremer | WPR News INDEPENDENCE, Wis. - A rural city in Trempealeau County says it’ll have to delay infrastructure projects because a frac sand mining company, which promised up to $150,000 in payments per year, is leaving town.

The city of Independence spent a year working to annex a proposed frac sand mine that was more than a mile from its borders. In return, Texas-based Superior Silica Sands promised to pay the city 15 cents for

every ton of sand it produced, as much as $150,000 per year. But earlier this month, Superior Silica Sands announced it was terminating its plans.

Independence Mayor Robert Baecker said the loss of potential revenue hurts.

“We as a council are just trying to keep our city going and one of the avenues we had was the sand mines coming along,” he said. “We could do some things in the city and not put the burden of the cost on the taxpayers.”

Baecker said the city was planning to replace side streets and water mains with the extra money but now that will have to wait.

UW-Oshkosh students, alumni decry plan to cut athletics programs Athletic director announced end of tennis, soccer programs Patty Murray | WPR News OSHKOSH - Current and former players on the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh men’s soccer team say plans to eliminate the program are “shortsighted.”

Earlier this week, UW-Oshkosh’s athletic director said the soccer and tennis teams will go away after next year’s season.

The closures won’t affect Daniel Kobin, who is a senior and finished his last season on the soccer team this year.

However, he is concerned for his teammates.

“It’s more than just playing on the field. It’s working hard and being part of the community, so that’s why it

hits even harder for a lot of us. We’re not doing this for scholarship reasons,” said Kobin.

UW-Oshkosh is a Division 3 school, meaning no one gets a scholarship to play sports.

Kobin said alumni are raising money to keep men’s soccer and tennis as varsity sports, and have set up an online petition to protest the cuts.

Green Bay Symphony Orchestra gives its final performance Orchestra has been in operation for more than 100 years Patty Murray | WPR News GREEN BAY - Saturday marked the end of a century-long tradition, as the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra gave its final concert.

The orchestra has operated on and off for the better part of 100 years, and has employed professional musicians for the last 20. However, it’s now shutting down due to financial reasons. Executive Director Dan Linssen said that even a decade ago, finances were a concern, with a budget of around $900,000 “And it continued to contract over the last 10 years as audiences declined and financial support declined. Last year, a little over $500,000 was our budget,” said Linssen.

Saturday’s finale included a performance of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5. Linssen said members of the youth symphony will perform alongside the professionals.

“Organizations come and go, but great music continues,” he said.

A group of Green Bay Symphony Orchestra musicians is pursuing a partnership with the Madison-based Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra.

Dedication to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Oak Lake Fire, April 22

SPOONER - To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Oak Lake Fire, a kiosk will be dedicated Wednesday, April 22, at the Chicog Fire Hall. An open house and dedication will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. with several speakers expected for the 5 p.m. program, including Bill Scott, a Department of Natural Resources ranger at the time, who worked the fire; Rod Fouks, DNR forestry supervisor, who will discuss fire planning and preparations;

and Ben Garret, DNR forestry specialist, who will discuss Firewise. Firewise is a program that helps landowners and communities prevent damage from devastating wildland fires. More Firewise information and contacts are available at the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, including Be Ember Aware, using the key word search “firewise.” During the dedication ceremony, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Community Wildfire Protection Plan will

also be announced. It encompasses the towns of Minong, Chicog, Brooklyn and Frog Creek along with the village of Minong. In addition to the fire kiosk, a granite monument will be placed at the origin of the fire along Lower McKenzie Road.

By the time the fire northwest of Spooner was extinguished, 159 buildings and homes had been destroyed, along with nearly 11,500 acres spanning 13 miles. The day before the Oak Lake Fire, 4,654 acres

were consumed in the Ekdall Church Fire.

There will also be a special appearance by Smokey Bear, who will hand out free tree seedlings to the first 50 people. Food and refreshments will also be provided at the event, which is free and open to the public. The fire hall is located 11 miles west of Minong on Hwy. 77. - from DNR

Madison lawmaker revives push for legal pot in Wisconsin Democratic bill expected to have little chance of advancing Shawn Johnson| WPR STATEWIDE – A Democratic state lawmaker from Madison has reintroduced legislation that would decriminalize marijuana in Wisconsin.

Rep. Melissa Sargent’s bill would legalize marijuana whether it’s used as medi-

cine or for recreation. She said the current prohibition on marijuana only creates an underground market and drives up law enforcement costs.

“We’re putting millions of our taxpayers’ dollars into victimless crimes when we should be doing just the exact opposite. We should be creating revenue and letting our police officers focus on keepRep. Melissa Sargent introduced her marijuana legalization bill at a press conference. – Photo by Shawn Johnson, WPR

ing peace,” Sargent said.

Sargent’s bill would tax marijuana sales at 25 percent. People would have to be 21 to use it and they’d be prohibited from using it in public.

The plan is unlikely to go anywhere in the Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature, and last session, just seven Democrats signed on as sponsors. Four states, Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Oregon, currently have laws allowing recreational marijuana sales.

Sunday, April 19, 2015 Third Sunday of Easter he destiny of a nation is not determined by its armed forces or material resources. Nor is it T empowered by its political philosophy or intellectual

achievements. God’s word reveals and the records of history prove that it is “not by power, nor by might, but by my spirit” that nations survive over time.

The destiny of any nation is determined by the spiritual life of its people. “Blessed is the nation,” David declared, “whose God is the Lord.”

Every nation has had an opportunity to accept the word of God and follow his ways, to worship him and to do his will. If they accept his offer, that nation will be blessed. However, if a nation chooses to reject him and his teachings, and refuses to worship and follow him, and establish their own foundation, they will eventually be destroyed. This is an obvious fact of history.

Rome became a great empire but it collapsed. Why? The celebrated Italian historian, Papini, wrote that “the temple, the bank and the academy were against Jesus of Nazareth.”

Germany became great but was reduced to rubble. Wrote a German philosopher, “They pushed God out of the universities and that was the beginning of the death sentence for the empire.”

What will be our destiny when we are no longer “one nation under God?” We are the ones responsible to “humble ourselves, pray, call upon the Lord and repent” if we do not want to be a memory on the pages of history.

Barb loved fishing, collecting antiques, eating out, attending flea markets and tending to the many varieties of animals on the farm.

Mae Marion Vehrs, 95, New Richmond, died Thursday, March 19, 2015, at the St. Croix Health Center.

She was born May 16, 1919, as Mae Marion Rylander to Carl Edwin Rylander and Mabel Anderson Rylander in Barronett. In her youth, Mae was raised in Barronett. She attended the Rylander School, which her grandfather Frank Rylander built. She attended her first year of high school in Minneapolis, Minn., and graduated from Shell Lake High School with the Class of 1937. On April 29, 1938, she married Carl F. Schmidt from Sarona. To this union was born a son, Wayne Carl, and daughter Donna Mae. They farmed in Long Lake for approximately 15 years. The family moved to Chisholm, Minn., where Carl worked for Prudential Life Insurance. When the company promoted him in 1957, the family moved to Minot, N.D. Mae and Carl divorced in 1961, and Mae moved back to live with her parents in Barronett. She also lived with her brother, Edwin Bud Rylander, in Cumberland for a time. On Sept. 14, 1968, Mae married Harlan R. Vehrs at the First Lutheran Church in Cumberland. They moved to New Richmond.

After farming in Long Lake, Mae was employed by the Arrow Shirt Factory in Chisholm where she sewed leather jackets and dress shirts for men. In Minot she worked for Tollefson Furniture Store where she became a professional drapery maker. After returning to Bar-

ronett she worked for Falcon Drill Company.

Mae continued her skill of drapery making for many years. She was active in the Homemakers Association for over 50 years, a member of the bee keeping association, Order of the Eastern Star, and an active member of both the Lutheran and Methodist churches.

the Register but I had written that there would be two people running for treasurer. Well only 18 voted for Connie Quam and 11 voted for Kerry Swan. It was Connie who won. She will be done with her job at Shell Lake City Hall on May 8. Congratulations, Connie. Working on the election board were Diane Hulleman, Karen Vanderhoof, Jan Erickson, Roxie Spaulding and Myrna Atkinson.

Aren’t you glad we don’t live in tornado country? Yes, those tornadoes destroy so much and kill so many people.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Stephanie Gramberg and her family.

How about a laugh: The honeymoon is over when the dog brings the slippers and the wife barks. Compliments of Shirley Stellrecht.

Talking with Myrna Atkinson, we find she has spring fever. Yes, Myrna is painting the rooms in her house, which is a great job done. Ron Atkinson comes over and cleans their yard but the wind continues to blow, making for more work.

Myrna tells us the quilt they just finished will be part of the Lions raffle in the near future.

Sunday, Laney James Knoop was bap-

tized at LVMC. She was born in November and is the daughter of Garrett and Ashley Knoop. Grandparents are Steve Knoop and Donna Knoop. This makes two girls for the Garrett Knoop family who live in Fond a Lac. Saturday, Karen and Doug were hauling out those good soil nutrients.

Please keep Cody Pettis is your special thoughts and prayers as he was in a very bad car accident and is in the hospital.

Cody is the son of Mark Pettis and Julie Nelson Pettis and grandson of LeRoy and Jan Nelson. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Cody.

Garry Crosby celebrated his birthday Saturday night with Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie, Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alycia and David and Ericka Granzin, joining him and Beth for supper. Garry turned the ripe old age of 68. He’s still working, too.

Ryan Lauterbach stayed with the Quams over the weekend. He enjoyed turkey hunting with the guys.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

sweetest little thing. It’s hard to believe that someone that little will eventually grow up to be a big guy.

Illa Theese and Ann Egstad had a fun girls’ night out on Friday. They went to the Ceska Opera House in Haugen for the “Untalent Show.” Illa said there were lots of skits, singing and playing of instruments, and it doesn’t sound as though the performers were “untalented.” They both enjoyed themselves very much, and are looking forward to the squeezebox show coming up in May. On Sunday Illa went to Chippewa Falls to see her friend Archie Bergeron. She said that Archie is doing pretty good, and that he was very happy to have some company.

We were chatting with our neighbors, the Richhoff family, this past week, and little Mischa gave me a pussy willow stem. It’s so pretty. We haven’t had pussy willows in the house for ages because we’re too lazy to wander around in swampy areas to get them. Anyway, it’s in a vase on the dining room table, and everyone who comes in comments on how nice it looks.

Isn’t this weather perfect? We were able to get the garden all ready for planting and the yard relatively clean this week.

We planted strawberries about three years ago, not knowing how fast they multiply.

So, anyway, on Sunday afternoon my son, Jerry Marsh, tilled up a much bigger area for me so I could replant them. And, he got the garden all tilled too. I know it’s probably too early to plant anything yet, but at least it’s ready. Hmmm. I wonder if we will be able to plant the stuff from the Wiesner Chapel plant sale as soon as we buy it.

Duane talked to John Schmidt this past week, and he was planning a trip home to see whether or not everything is in place so that he can finally come home to stay.

Until he is able to get around a little better, he will have to have things changed a bit so that he can maneuver around the house in his wheelchair. We were really happy to hear that he would be in Barronett for a trial visit, and hope everything goes well

Stone Lake

by Mary Nilssen

This warmer weather is really giving the signal to the flowers and wildlife that it’s wake-up time up north. It’s been a long winter and now it’s time for being outside and breathing some good fresh air.

Don’t miss the big night out in Stone Lake coming on Saturday, May 2. First, The Stone Lake Area Historical Society will be having their ham and scalloped potato dinner from 4-7 p.m. at the Stone Lake Fire Hall. There will be a silent auction. After this, you can go to the Stone Lake Lions Hall for some great live music and dancing. The Stone Lake Music Night, featuring the Acoustic Ramblers and guests, will be entertaining from 6:30-9 p.m. There will be no community potluck this month.

Bar H Implement is having their 53rdannual open house Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18, from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

There will be plenty of free food, a country band and door prizes. Come on out for a good time and see many of your local Stone Lake residents.

The 17th-annual scholarship event, in memory of Marilyn Kissinger, is now accepting applications for $500 scholarships being awarded to area students of the medical profession. Gen. Kissinger and his sons generously sponsor this event

yearly. If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, you can pick up an application at Stone Lake Medical Clinic, 16887 2nd St., Stone Lake, 715-865-6510, or Indianhead Medical Center Inc., 113 4th Ave., Shell Lake, 715-468-7833. If you are unable to pick up an application, please email groverimc@outlook.com. Application deadline is April 24.

Once again, I would like to remind people of the Stone Lake area of our Stone Lake Post Office hours. The inside window is open Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. noon, and reopens at 1:45-3:15 p.m. On Saturday, the inside window is open from 8:30-9:30 a.m. and Sunday it is closed. The lobby remains open 24/7. Mail is picked up at the outside mailbox at 3 p.m. and inside mailbox is picked up at 3:15 p.m.

If you have a letter you wish to mail from your home mailbox, please note that your postal carrier doesn’t return to the post office before that day’s mail leaves, so your mail will have a one-day delay in reaching its destination. If that is an issue, the best thing to do is drive in to the post office and deposit it before 3 p.m. in order for it to go out that day. If you have any questions, call 715-865-3421.

Have a good, sunny and warm week.

Tacoma, Wash. He was predeceased by his wife, Jean Marie, in 2010. Both Robert and Jean were buried at Arlington National Cemetery on April 8. Barbara also sent a brief history of her father’s military career during WWII, his work after the military as a carpenter and teacher. He led an unbelievably interesting life, and if you would like to read the paper she sent, please let me know and I will forward it on to you.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week I hope you can join us at the big community garage sale on Saturday. See you next time.

so that he can return permanently soon.

Our sympathy goes out to the family of Margaret (Lehmann) Contos, who passed away in Aurora, Colo., this past week.

Margaret grew up on the Lehmann farm just a little south and east of the village of Barronett. Margaret loved her family, and enjoyed having them stay with her whenever they happened to be in Colorado. She was a wonderful, caring person and will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her.

I received an email from Barbara Morrow this week. She wanted us to know that her father, Staff Sgt. Robert Rieck, retired, passed away on Sept. 29, 2014, in

Spring is here! There are lots of signs of that around, but the way we positively know that spring is here in Barronett is that the annual community garage sale is going on this Saturday. Yea! It will be held at the Barronett Community Center, and the place will be filled with treasures of all kinds. Come on over – look around. I’ll bet you won’t be able to walk out of there without having found something that you have been needing for ages. And, if you’re one of those people who just come along for the ride, you can always sit at one of the tables and enjoy a cup of coffee and a treat while your wife, husband or friend shops.

And another thing – remember all those seed catalogs you’ve been poring over all winter? Well, the annual bake/craft/ plant sale at the Wiesner Chapel will be held on May 2 from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.

The Wiesner Chapel is located on CTH V, a couple of miles north of Hwy. 48. I can tell you from past experience that you should really get there early. Everyone in the area knows that the plants at the Wiesner Chapel plant sale are very healthy, and that the prices are unbelievably low.

They have all kinds of stuff – garden vegetables, berry bushes, perennial flowers – just about anything you can possibly imagine. Mark it on your calendar; it’s an event you won’t want to miss.

Julie Hohweiler gave me some news a couple of weeks ago, and I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I put it in my purse and forgot to take it out. Anyway, Julie and Dan had some very exciting news.

They are going to be grandparents. Dan’s daughter and son-in-law, Nicole and Ike Pavick, are going to be the proud parents of a baby boy in July. Nicole and Ike live in Wausau, so I’m betting that there will be a lot of traveling going on after that baby gets here. Congratulations to the grandparents to be. Now you’ll find out why we grandparents act as goofy as we do over those little darlings.

And, speaking of new grandchildren, or in our case, great-grandchildren, I’ve had a chance to hold little Kane Thon a couple of times now, and he is just the softest,

Sarona

by Marian Furchtenicht

We’ve had at least three snows on the robin’s back.

Grass is greening; we’ll be mowing here before we know it. Lawn cleanup chores are continuing, and the frogs are singing. My Mary did my income tax online for me one day. Hope yours is done. Deadline was Wednesday, April 15. Mild weather this weekend but very windy on Sunday. Got a thunder shower in the night and it was a beautiful Monday morning.

First of all, thanks for all the phone calls, emails, notes and comments on the article about me in the Profile Magazine. Like all stories, it takes a good author, thanks Julie.

Allan and Brenda Zaloudek made an overnight trip to Antigo to see John and Dee Zaloudek as they had not seen them since they moved there. Their new house is looking great and they enjoyed a great visit.

Sarona folks extend deepest sympathy to the family of Barb Shaw, 74, Shell Lake. Visitation was held on Sunday at the Skinner Funeral Home in Shell Lake. Burial of cremains will be in the Shell Lake Cemetery. She was well known in the Shell Lake area, as she was the assistant

Monday was a nice sunny day after a night of lightning and thundering. We need the rain so we won’t complain. The grass is dry and brown. I hear they had some fires with the wind so strong on Sunday. It’s nice to see the ice gone off the lake. Frogs are chirping in the ponds.

Shell Lake veterans to hold scrap metal drive SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake VFW, American Legion and honor guard will be collecting scrap metal again this summer as a fundraising effort for the Shell Lake Veterans Center.

Starting now and running through the fall, the veterans will be taking donations of scrap metal. Scrap metal would consist of metal, steel, aluminum, copper, junk vehicles, machines or equipment with metal of any sort, but not refrigerators or microwaves.

Please contact Kent Wabrowetz at 715-520-3253 for directions on where the scrap can be dropped off. If you would like the veterans to pick it up, you will be added to a list and when they have enough contacts, they will have a scrap pickup day.

Last year, the group collected 10,880 pounds of scrap metal. Money from these donations will go toward their new Shell Lake Veterans Center. Purchase of a building will be completed soon and then the real work be-

gins with remodeling and updating the building. The building is located at 408 First St. across from the Shell Lake State Bank. Members are looking for windows, an electric range and water heater, along with basic supplies such as paint, plumbing, light fixtures, tables and chairs.

This is a great opportunity for veterans groups to be together in one facility, to better provide for the local veterans. Gratitude is extended to the individuals and organizations in and around Shell Lake that have supported this organization over the years. Through your tireless help, they are able to move ahead with plans for this veterans center.

Please remember the Memorial Day observance at the Shell Lake Municipal Park on Monday, May 25. — from Shell Lake veterans organizations

This building on Shell Lake’s First Street will be remodeled and serve as the Shell Lake Veterans Center. — Photo submitted
