Inmate remains at large

Danielle Kaeding | WPR News SAWYER COUNTY - A week after escaping from a minimum-security facility in western Wisconsin, an inmate who authorities say is “armed and dangerous” remains at large.

Sawyer County authorities are searching for Kaeden T.J. Dumholt, the 20-year-old escapee, after a home invasion there. County Sheriff Mark Kelsey said they believe Dumholt was one of two suspects chased away by a homeowner Thursday evening, Aug. 6. He said authorities recovered a stolen vehicle from Jackson County after a high-speed chase, and said a citizen witnessed one person fleeing the vehicle after it was driven into a ditch.

“We received information this morning about a cabin in another county that was owned by a relative. That’s been checked several times,” he said. Rain and wind hampered their initial search, according to Kelsey.

Kelsey said it took them a day to release information of the incident because they were busy trying to apprehend Dumholt. He said they’re working with surrounding county authorities to

locate him and the other suspect whose identity has not yet been determined.

According to Kelsey, one of the suspects was armed with a long gun. He advised anyone that comes in contact with Dumholt to avoid confronting the escaped inmate and immediately contact law enforcement.

Watch closely: More than one tick-borne disease in Upper Midwest Kay Case | Physician assistant Mayo Clinic Health System –Northland, Rice Lake RICE LAKE — There are three types of ticks in our area, and two are responsible for disease.

Only females in the nymph and adult stage can pass the infection. The most common tick is the wood or dog tick; luckily, no disease has been associated with that tick in our area. Ticks carrying disease are the deer, black-legged or bear tick, and a new one of concern called the lone star tick. The lone star tick normally is present in the south but is slowly migrating to our area. If you see this tick, you should report it to public health.

Shoreland wildlife and plants are focus of WCLRA annual meeting SHELL LAKE — “The Shore and Near Shore Area: A Home for Many Species” will be the featured talk at the Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association’s 2015 annual meeting, Saturday, Aug. 29.

The meeting will be from 9-11 a.m., at the Shell Lake Community Center, Hwy. 63 near the beach. Adrian Wydeven, a retired mammal ecologist and wildlife biologist, and Sarah Boles, a Wisconsin certified naturalist and native plant landscaper, will talk about wildlife living along your shore and the kind of vegetation they need for food and cover.

Wydeven has experience monitoring and managing wolves and other carnivores. He published many articles in scientific and popular literature, and coedited and co-authored a book on wolf recovery in the Great Lakes region. As a Wisconsin DNR forest wildlife specialist, he worked to promote, enhance and protect forest wildlife habitat across the state. He retired from the Wisconsin DNR in January.

Boles is a Wisconsin certified naturalist with a certificate in wetland ecology. Since 1999, she has owned and operated her business, Northern Native Plantscapes, based in the Cable area and specializing in using native plants for restoration and in traditional landscape applications.

A continental breakfast is available at 8:30 a.m., then followed at 9 by a short business meeting. The presentation will follow at 9:30 a.m. and the meeting will wrap up with a roundtable discussion at 10:30 a.m. on issues of interest to members and member lake associations. The program is open to the public and people are welcome to come just for the presentation.

WCLRA is a citizen organization whose purpose is to promote the environmental protection and preservation of surface waters in Washburn County. For more information about WCLRA and the meeting, see wclra.org. — from WCLRA

Watch closely/from page 1 Which infectious diseases are carried by the deer tick?

In our area, Lyme disease is the most commonly found tick-borne infection.

Anaplasma, formally ehrlichia or HE, is the bacteria carried by the deer tick alone or as a co-infection. Babesia is another infectious bacteria occurring alone or as co-infection. It infects red cells similar to malaria. Anaplasmosis and babesiosis are associated with more severe symptoms.

The lone star tick carries another form of ehrlichia, HME, but has similar symptoms.

It’s mine!

How long does the tick have to be attached to infect a person?

It depends on the infective agent. For Lyme, the tick needs to be at least partially engorged with blood and/or attached for at least 36 hours. However, anaplasma has been shown to be transferred within 24 hours and possibly before the blood meal. Since there is a high rate of co-infections in our area, it is best to see your health-care provider and, of course, bring the tick with you for identification.

care provider.

What if I didn’t see the tick that caused a bite?

• Your health-care provider will determine if the bite is typical of a tick bite.

• You may be asked to watch the area for expanding redness — greater than size of a quarter.

• If you see your provider within 72 hours and live in a highly endemic deer tick area, you may be treated with a oneday dose of antibiotic treatment

How do I avoid getting tick bites and associated infections?

• Avoid wooded and bushy areas with high grass. Stay in the center of cleared trails.

• Use effective tick repellents, and apply according to the label instructions.

Avoid direct skin applications, if possible.

Permethrin also is effective against ticks and lasts for days to weeks, but should only be applied to clothes and not directly to the skin.

• Wear long sleeves, long pants and long socks to keep ticks on the outside of clothing. Light-colored clothing will help you spot ticks.

• Tuck shirts into pants and pants into shoes or socks to keep ticks on the outside of clothing. If outdoors for an extended period of time, tape pant legs where pants and socks meet so that ticks cannot crawl under clothes.

• Perform daily tick checks after being outdoors in areas where ticks are present. Remove any ticks from clothing, gear and pets before going inside. Inspect all parts of the body carefully, especially the armpits, scalp, neckline and groin. Take a shower or bath as soon as possible to wash off any ticks that are still crawling on you. Tumble clothes in a dryer on high heat for an hour to kill remaining ticks.

When do I have to see a health-care provider?

• If you are sure it is a wood tick, you do not need to see a health-care provider.

• If you are not sure of the identification, bring the tick to your clinic visit in a sealed zip-close bag or on a piece of tape for proper identification.

• If you have identified a bull’s-eye rash around a tick bite and/or have symptoms, including fever, muscle aches, fatigue or headache, you need to be assessed and may require appropriate treatment.

After a tick bite, how long do I need to observe the area for a rash or onset of symptoms?

It is suggested that you observe the area of a tick bite for 30 days. If you see a rash expanding larger than a quarter or have the symptoms previously described within that time, you need to see a health-

How do I remove the tick?

• Use a tweezers to grip the tick as close to the skin as possible. Avoid squeezing the contents of the tick.

• Pull upward slowly. The deer tick has a cementlike substance in the saliva.

• If mouth parts are left, leave them there. They will be expelled on their own.

• Wash your hands and the bite area with soap and water.

Area news at a glance MADISON — Thanks to dedicated conservation efforts, bald eagles are soaring high once again over Wisconsin. Now, motorists can celebrate this accomplishment with a striking, one-of-a-kind license plate featuring an image of an eagle landing on the waters of the Mississippi River. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Transportation’s Division of Motor Vehicles unveiled a new license plate in a ceremony in Prairie du Sac, where bald eagles commonly fly along the Wisconsin River. Displaying this plate also lays the foundation for the next conservation effort. “This license plate honors an incredible conservation success story - the dramatic comeback of eagles in Wisconsin and the people who helped bring them back,” said Gov. Scott Walker. “Sales of this plate will lay the foundation for more conservation successes.” The eagle license plates are being printed and stamped this month and the Division of Motor Vehicles will be filling orders starting Sept. 1. The form to order the plate is now online and in DMV offices. Purchase of the eagle specialty license

plate includes a $25 annual donation to the Endangered Resources Fund, which pays for work by DNR’s Natural Heritage Conservation staff and partners to protect and restore rare plants and animals and unique natural areas. License plate sales are a critical source of funding for that work. The eagle specialty plate can be purchased at any time; motorists do not need to wait for a registration renewal notice. Orders can be placed by going to the Department of Natural Resources’ website, dnr.wi.gov, and searching for eagle plate. Order forms are also available to download from the Department of Transportation Endangered Resources license plates website and at local DMV service centers. The photograph featured on the plate was submitted by Troy Hattemer, showing an eagle landing in the backwater sloughs of the Mississippi River near Hager City. Hattemer’s image was among more than 2,000 submitted by citizens for consideration.

Shell Lake man recounts experience in world’s longest bike race Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — “It is just kind of an epic thing,” said Dale Cardwell, of Shell Lake, reflecting on his experience. It’s obvious that Cardwell is enjoying his retirement but his version isn’t your typical. In June, Cardwell was a navigator in the support team for solo cyclist Brian Toone, Cardwell’s son-in-law, in the 2015 Race Across America bike race that began on June 16 in Oceanside, Calif.

“I got involved in it because I helped Brian before and wanted to see this .... my interest in this was seeing the dynamics of how this worked,” said Cardwell, who has his own share of adventurous hobbies. RAAM is a timed bike race that pushes participants to pedal 3,000 miles coast to coast, climbing 170,000 feet and crossing 12 states before participants and their support teams crossed the finish line in Annapolis, Md. Cardwell’s role on the support team was navigator, ensuring Toone and the team followed the course outlined by RAAM. “None of the other people had really been on a team so we were all basically rookies, but I have to say things went very well,” said Cardwell. Previous to RAAM, Cardwell and his daughter, Kristine, Toone’s wife, had experience on Toone’s support crew for his first 500-mile race.

Cardwell and one other team member were the oldest on the support team while the remaining four members were in their 20s. Despite the age differences, Cardwell said the support team rallied through conflicts, found solutions to problems and utilized their technical skills in communications and mechanics to put them above some of the other teams.

“It was a real interesting group, a lot of initiative and very positive overall,” said Cardwell. The support team was split into two teams of three people, a driver, navigator and a support person, who was responsible for getting drinks and food to Toone on the bike. Cardwell was navigator, taking turns with the other support team, for 500 miles of the race that included battling the 120-degree heat in California, Arizona and Kansas. RAAM is about 30 percent longer than the Tour de France, requiring racers to complete the same distance in about half the time allowed for the tour. What also sets RAAM apart from most long-distance races is that it is open to professional and amateur athletes alike, but solo racers must qualify

Cardwell served on Brian’s support crew for what is the world’s longest timed bike race. — Photo submitted to compete while anyone can organize a team. Toone is an assistant professor in mathematics and computer science at Sanford University “I have done some mountain climbing, some extended long-distance backpacking,” said Cardwell. “Some mountain climbing” includes spending the better part of three weeks in the Cascade Mountains last year. Cardwell also hiked the length of the Wisconsin portion of the Ice Age Trail and has finished 34 American Birkebeiners, not to mention his experience organizing groups of hikers and climbers for various expeditions.

“It (RAAM) was very much like an expedition because we had to deal with the same things; compatibility, sleep deprivation – and that’s a big problem,” said Cardwell. Sleep deprivation existed for Toone and for the support team. Toone finished the race in 10 days and 14 hours.

Of that time Toone spent about 20 hours sleeping. The crew, Cardwell included, experienced their own versions of sleep deprivation. To combat sleep deprivation the two crews would take shifts in the support vehicle, a van, that would follow

“It’s a bike race and you might think that bike skills are the most important thing, but the bike riding is really about 20 percent of the skills you need … You need to have skills in terms of food preparation, physical endurance and organizing people,” he said. Cardwell now sees managing sleep deprivation as a very important task. While they weren’t doing the biking, Cardwell and the crew had to stay on their game, making sure Toone was hydrated, getting enough to eat and making sure they were staying on course while managing the stretches of construction along the way.

“One of the things you had to learn to do is deal with boredom. We found things to do to keep us engaged in the race,” he said. They kept track of the food they gave Toone, kept the vehicles organized, logged the animals they saw and even stopped to help turtles cross the road.

The exercises kept them in the present and hopefully ready when the worst happened, and it did. Early in the race Toone hit the pavement in a construction zone.

“Brian tried to go from a part that was rough to a smooth part and caught his front wheel, and he went down on the side of his head and his shoulder and we were in an escort situation and there were cars and trucks behind us and another rider coming,” he recalled. This all happened at 2 a.m. in the desert where the daytime temperatures reached 120 degrees. The crew patched up Toone and his bike and got him back on the road 20 minutes later. Thankfully this was the only accident Toone suffered.

Cardwell was replaced on the support team after Bloomington, Ind., but both Cardwell and his wife, Sandy, followed Toone and the team for the remainder of the race. Toone finished seventh and was the second American across the finish line.

There were 27 solo racers that started, 17 crossed the finish line.

“I’m not sure, at my age, if I ever want to do it again, but I really enjoyed it,” said Cardwell.

Students and local coordinators were asked to write an essay about why their host family should be nominated. After the submissions were reviewed, a winner for each state and a national winner were chosen by a committee made up of Academic Year in America staff.

“We are very proud of the Weltzin family as they have exemplified the very best of cultural exchange,” stated Melanie French, director of AYA. “By sharing the American culture as well as learning more about Clara’s culture, they have done their part to help bring the world together.”

CUMBERLAND – The Weltzin family from Cumberland has been named the Host Family of the Year for Wisconsin by Academic Year in America, one of the largest and most respected high school foreign exchange programs in the United States.

For the past year, the Weltzin family has opened their hearts and their home to Clara, an exchange student from Germany. Clara nominated the Weltzin family in recognition of their selflessness and for the love they shared to help make her time in the U.S. unforgettable: “They make me feel like I’m a part of their family.

Sometimes I think about it and it amazes me how many sides to an exchange year there are. People always think that the exchange student is the brave one, but I think being a host family and opening your house, home and

Washburn County receives $755,000 state loan Shell Lake School to receive library aid MADISON — The State Board of Commissioners of Public Lands recently approved a State Trust Fund Loan totaling $755,000 to Washburn County to finance road construction and maintenance.

The board approved loans totaling nearly $23.4 million at the meeting. Locally the city of Cumberland received $45,000 for airport runway improvements.

The BCPL operates without taxpayer money and distributes more than 96 cents of every dollar of interest earned on BCPL State Trust Fund investments to Wiscon-

sin’s public schools. This year’s earnings of $35.5 million are the largest distribution in the agency’s history and provide the sole source of state funding for K‑12 public school library materials. Shell Lake will receive $21,474.

Established in 1848 by the state Constitution, the BCPL consists of Secretary of State Doug La Follette, State Treasurer

Matt Adamczyk and Attorney General Brad Schimel. The BCPL manages the Common School Fund, which was created in Article X of Wisconsin’s Constitution, as a permanent endowment to benefit public education.

Activities on water

T

ime certainly flies by. It flies by whether you are having days filled with summertime activities or are doing the usual go-to-work routine.

At the beginning of this summer, a customer in my office discussed with me that she has lived in Shell Lake for several years and could count on one hand the number of times she had actually been on the lake.

Her goal was to get a kayak and spend some time leisurely touring the lake. I haven’t seen her since that discussion to see if she actually reached her goal.

The term bucket list, made popular from the 2007 comedy-drama starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, encourages us to make our own list of things we want to do or become before we “kick the bucket” — pass from this life.

I admit waterskiing has never been on my bucket list. The closest I ever came to waterskiing is being in the water and touching a towrope. I didn’t even have skis on my feet. Obviously I wasn’t going to go barefooted for my first attempt at this water sport.

At one time, Luck, the town located between Milltown and Frederic on Hwy. 35, was known for its Duncan

Yo-Yo factory. My godmother, then known as Pat Nelson, the former Pat Rommel, was a shipping clerk at Duncan Yo-Yo. I remember we could play with yo-yos when we visited Aunt Pat and Uncle Wally at their house in Clam Falls.

In 1961, Pat was asked to take part in a Life magazine photo shoot that would put her yo-yo and waterskiing skills to use. The photo was possibly the leading candidate for the cover of this popular magazine once read by millions of Americans throughout most of the last century. The photo shoot took place the last week in June on Big Butternut Lake in Luck. Pat used the Executive Yo-Yo that was a special solid maple model made by Duncan to demonstrate as she water-skied.

Life was intending to do a cover photo and article in July. When Ernest Hemingway committed suicide on July 2, 1961, Pat’s photo got bumped and Hemingway’s death made the cover of Life on July 14. In an interview for the Inter-County Leader, Pat’s son, who we call Little Wally, said his mother, “talked about missing her ’15 minutes of fame.’”

I don’t know what you have listed on your bucket list. Perhaps it is something that could bring you fame. Whether it does or not, may

Funding increase for cultural and historical programs MADISON — The Wisconsin Humanities Council will expand funding and outreach efforts in 17 northern counties thanks to a $15,000 grant from the HRK Foundation. The additional support will help the WHC fund exemplary educational, cultural and historical projects developed by organizations in, and serving the people of Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Florence, Forest, Iron, Lincoln, Marinette, Oneida, Polk, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Vilas and Washburn counties.

Libraries, historical societies, museums, educational institutions and other nonprofits throughout the region are encouraged to submit applications to any of the council’s seven regularly scheduled grant rounds.

There are no special applications for northern applicants, nor are there any special deadlines. Mini-grants of up to $2,000 are awarded four times a year. Major grants of up to $10,000 are awarded three times each year. Information about these grant opportunities, guidelines and applications are available on the council’s website, wisconsinhumanities.org. Potential applicants may also seek guidance from WHC staff.

Recent WHC grants to northern counties have funded

a cultural mapping project on the Bad River Reservation, a history lecture series in Washburn, construction of an Ojibwe winter lodge at Lac du Flambeau, a middle school project in Superior about Anne Frank and a regional heritage celebration in Phillips. This summer, HRK funding is supporting programs about boatbuilding at the Bayfield Maritime Museum as well as the Northwest Wisconsin Writers’ Festival at UW-Barron County in Rice Lake.

“The WHC has a long history of funding great projects in northern Wisconsin. We’re so happy to have the support of the HRK Foundation, which will enable us to do even more,” said Dena Wortzel, executive director of the WHC. The Wisconsin Humanities Council works throughout Wisconsin to support and create programs that use history, culture and discussion to strengthen community life for everyone in Wisconsin.

We loved Lucy

T

he first time I saw a television set it had a small screen and if you turned it on, it was likely to be blank, or showing a geometric test pattern. There were some shows, entertainment in black and white.

Television took giant leaps and soon we had family programming in the evenings, variety shows and comedy series. People gathered in the homes of TV set owners and watched shows. They bought their own TV sets and the audience grew. The people in the early comedy shows became household names. From 1951 until 1961, when color TV made its debut, the show that drew almost all viewers was “I Love Lucy,” starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

When Lucy and Desi approached CBS with their pilot, they were turned down. Who in their right mind would accept the story line that a beautiful American redhead would marry a Cuban bandleader? They went on turning down other series while Lucy and Desi took their show on the road, as a vaudeville comedy. It won acclaim. CBS changed their minds. The show ran for 10 years and received many awards. Everybody loved Lucy and her antics, and she and Desi and their neighbors, Fred and Ethel, were our favorite people.

Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, N.Y., on Aug. 11, 1911. Her father was a telephone lineman and they moved around quite a bit in her early years. Four weeks after her brother was born, their father died.

Their mother went back to New York to live near Lake Chautauqua, and four years later she married a man named Peterson. He was Swedish and they lived with his parents for a time. Later they moved to a small apartment.

Lucy was a born clown, always appealing to an audience; she reveled in applause. She jumped at the chance to join local nonprofes-

sional programs. Growing up, they enjoyed going to an amusement park, and she was often taken to vaudeville shows. She fell in love with the theater. She was becoming a beautiful woman, and soon she was doing some modeling.

Her mother disapproved of a man she was dating, and to get her away from that man, she found enough money to enroll Lucy in an acting school in New York, the same one Bette Davis was attending. Soon Lucy was taking parts in movies, and flew off to Hollywood.

Lucy gained experience in comedy, and was in a movie with the Three Stooges in 1934, and with the Marx Brothers in 1938. She took so many bit parts some called her the queen of B movies. She married Desi on Nov. 30, 1940. Desi had a knee injury that kept him from going overseas but he was drafted into the Army. He worked with the USO and remained in Los Angeles.

They formed Desilu and it prospered, producing many television series. To the viewers, the life of Lucy and Desi was one happy day after another with Desi coming home and calling, “Honey, I’m home!” and Lucy greeting him with her apron on and a lovely dinner waiting for them and a pleasant evening. It wasn’t like that. Ethel (Vivian Vance) and Fred (William Frawley) Mertz might have known, but the viewers didn’t. Lucy wanted out. She bought Desi’s rights for Desilu and took control of the company. She was the first woman to head up a production company. She and Desi were married for 20 years, but they divorced May 4, 1960. It may have been prime-time gossip at the time, but I can’t remember anything about it. In some of the later series, Lucy was a divorced woman.

The times were changing and the disgrace associated with divorce was changing. On the

“I Love Lucy” show, the sponsors had problems with Lucy writing into the show her pregnancy. A pregnant woman on a TV show? You couldn’t even say “pregnant.” Lucy used the French term for pregnant, and Desi said, “’spectin’.” The Riccardo, and Arnaz, child was to be born on the show, since Lucy was having a Caesarean.

The newly elected President Eisenhower was to be sworn in out in Washington, D.C., and the Arnaz child was to make his debut on “I Love Lucy” on the same day. The rating of the audience showed 29 million watched the Inauguration, while 44 million watched little Desi Jr. born on the television program.

When Lucy was a teenaged girl, her stepfather’s father enrolled her in the Communist Party. Members of the Communist Party in California reported that they had a meeting at her home. She later testified that she knew nothing about such a meeting, and was not interested in the party, and campaigned for Kennedy.

She said she would not vote Communist. At that time, just before the filming of an episode in the sitcom, Desi was warming up the audience and he said, “The only thing red about Lucy is her hair, and even that is not legitimate.”

Desi and Lucy remained friends. They had two children, Lucie and Desiderio Alberto Arnaz IV, called Desi Jr. Lucy remarried, and her marriage to Gary Morton lasted 27 years, until she died, April 26, 1989, of heart problems.

She won many awards. She had four Emmys, a Golden Globe Award and Kennedy Center Honors.

She was on several postage stamps. She has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for movies and one for television. She was on the cover of TV Guide more than any other star. Lucy was named one of the most important people of the century by Time magazine. We all loved Lucy.

Spooner PTO Kids Mad Dash

Two cousins can get into more trouble than just one. Trett and Gaven Clark found a way to get muddy and Mom even cheered them on.

Elizabeth Lutz was crying when she came out of the mud pit. Two minutes later she was talking about running next year. This event and the crowd can be very scary to a 6-year-old. Overcoming those fears serves to make one stronger.

LEFT: The love of a father.

Connor Sunderland wanted to do the mud pit, but halfway through he tried to give up. His father, Dan, climbed into the pit, and with encouragement, Connor was able to finish the race. The crowd at this point was cheering Connor on and showed admiration for his father, Dan.

RIGHT: Katie Lawless peers through the mud after her completion of the Spooner School PTO Kids Dash that was held Saturday, Aug. 8. She had so much fun that she was already planning to do it again next year.

Georgie Gothblad and Reagan Clark demonstrate two very different styles in running the dash, yet both had a great time at the run.

Emily Lloyd is a freshman from Shell Lake who made her sixth voyage in a plane. Children from the age of 8-16 are able to learn and experience the joys of flying. The Saturday, Aug. 8, event was held at the Shell Lake Municipal Airport and was hosted by the Blue Hills Chapter, EAA631, of the Experimental Aircraft Association.

Sean Zwister of Spooner got a flight with pilot Jeff Potocnik. With the flight he gets a Young Eagle Certificate, a entry in his own log book and an opportunity to take an online flight school class.

Ryder Breun enjoyed his flight with pilot Gerry Winch. The pilots donate their time and expenses to give the children a experience that will help shape their lives.

Nevaeh Breun and her sister Bryley wave as pilot Bob Gillette taxies the plane to the runway. At this point the children are a little apprehensive, but that is lost once they get airborne.

Run for the mud; run for the fun

Mike Place and Caitin Fielding, two former Spooner High School track runners, came back to Spooner for the 5K mud run, part of Jack Pine Savage Days.

Getting dirty can be fun. Harley Kinney and Alex Grubb don’t mind the mud as it is fun. The Jack Pine Savage Dash 5K Mud and Obstacle Race was held Friday, Aug. 7, in the old rail yard.

The 5K mud run was a great family event for the Vander Heyden family. Shown (L to R): Missy, Meagan and Dave. Megan finished the course ahead of her parents, leaving them in the dust. Well, make that mud ‌ Leaving them in the mud.

Roderic L. DeVoe Roderic Levi DeVoe, 88, formerly of Eau Claire and Alma Center, passed away peacefully with his family at his side on Monday, Aug. 3, 2015, at his residence in Sarona.

He was born Aug. 5, 1926, in the Town of Long Lake, the son of Burr and Gladys (nee Jacobs) DeVoe. He was united in marriage to Donna Jane Sweeney on June 21, 1952, in Eau Claire.

Rod proudly served his country with the United States Navy in the South Pacific during WWII. He received his bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire and later his master’s degree from University of Wisconsin - Superior. Rod taught school in Stanley, Blair, and finished his career in Black River Falls teaching library sciences.

Rod and his wife owned and operated DeVoeKaufman Cottages on Long Lake, a family tradition that

his parents started and his wife and children carry on to this day. He was a collector of everything and people often relied on him when looking for something. He especially liked collecting stamps and coins. Rod also enjoyed woodworking, reading and the outdoors.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Donna, Sarona; his children, Gregg (Robina) DeVoe, Casselberry, Fla., Mary (Keith) Kaufman, Eau Claire, and Scott (Maggie) DeVoe, Sarona; six grandchildren, Nicole, Zachary, Eliza, Aaron, Devon and Dylan; two great-grandchildren, Myla and Ella; a brother, Charles (Jeanne) DeVoe, Wausau; a stepsister, Mary Carol (Marv) Hanson, Eau Claire; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

A committal service was held Aug. 7 at Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Spooner.

The DeVoe family would like to express their gratitude to the staff and volunteers with Lakeview Medical Hospice for their excellent care and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to Lakeview Medical Center Hospice, 1700 W.

Psalm 130

Revised Common Lectionary © 1992 by the Consultation on Common Texts for

Sunday, August 9, 2015 Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost

“C

ongratulations” is a word of encouragement that we all enjoy hearing. Being recognized for any of our accomplishments means that someone has noticed what we have done. It usually brings us feelings of worth and value, importance and significance. Often we swell with pride saying, “Look at me!

I’m someone special.”

When things had finally stabilized in David’s life he paused briefly and rejoiced by saying, “He put a new song in my heart.”

This was not the first time that God heard and answered his prayers.

God had delivered him many times - perhaps more times than he could ever remember. And this may not necessarily have been a new song. It could have been one that he sang many times before. Thanksgiving and praise were a central part of his life. Recognizing God’s goodness is a predominant theme in the Psalms. Put “a new song in his mouth, a new hymn of praise.” What could this possibly mean?

All too often we take God’s goodness for granted. We expect his deliverance from messy situations. We expect him to heal us when we are sick; we expect him to provide for our financial needs; we expect him to be with us when we travel. And he is. And he does guide and guard us and give us what we need. And we express our thanks. Usually. But every time God does protect us and provide for our needs is a new act of deliverance. Each day is a new day, and each gift a new gift because we have never been where we are today. It’s all new.

Dewey Country Last Thursday evening and early Friday morning we had 2 inches of rain here in Dewey Country. It was a blessing to get it, as we needed rain so bad. Now the crops look wonderful for a time. I do think farmers are very happy to see their crops do so well, which is great!

Penny and Jeff Ladd and Rem, Ry, and Ree went on a trip to Yellowstone and got back Friday night. They left July 29 and came home Aug. 7. Penny tells us they had a wonderful trip. The kids were good and they stopped along the way for a day or two as the kids wanted to buy some souvenirs, etc. Penny said the kids mostly enjoyed going through the mountains, seeing Old Faithful, going through the Badlands, seeing Yellowstone, and they enjoyed horseback riding, rafting, seeing Glacier National Park, which Penny says is just gorgeous, and much more.

She tells me she could write a book on all the places they saw. Home Friday night, everyone was very happy to be home, the kids mostly to see if their cats had left home.

But they found Sassy, which is Rylee’s cat and had been missing for a month, was back. Their dog, Davey, was more than happy to see them and even followed them right into the house. Friday night, on the way home, they stopped at the Como Zoo in the Twin Cities. Penny said it was so interesting. So all in all, they had a wonderful 10day vacation, which everyone needed. Penny says they put 4,000 miles on their car.

A very happy birthday to Bill Clinton on Aug. 19.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Mavis Viltz who passed away Friday, Aug. 7. No word on her funeral arrangements at this time.

News from Diane Hulleman finds Diane at the free clinic on Tuesday night in Rice Lake. Diane tells us the clinic is open every Tuesday night instead of once a month. On Wednesday, Diane went to a retirement party for a woman retiring from Lakeview Medical Center. It was held at the Country Inn. Lots of people attended.

You know Diane worked at Lakeview Medical Center for 22 years and the girls always invited Diane for whatever is going on, even to go out to eat.

You know I think deer are being too picky. Yes, they must get tired of eating Duane Johnson’s soybeans across from my house. Anyway, I have two apple trees in my yard and I did notice there were apples on the ground,

Sarona

by Pauline Lawrence and so when I mowed I went around them. The next day the apples were all gone and I wondered what was eating them. Well on Wednesday night I was closing the drapes in my dining room and looked out and here were two deer eating those apples. I watched them for a while and they must have felt someone watching them as they both looked right at me and I was very still. They kept looking and looking and finally I moved and then they ran across the road. My pet deer!

My little granddaughter, 19-year-old Kenzie Cramer, left on Sunday for a trip to Yellowstone. She has a girlfriend that’s going along. Kenzie starts college Aug. 23 already. The days just slip away, don’t they? Kenzie starts her second year in nursing. She was home in Eau Claire since May 6 and worked as a CNA during the summer.

Steve Hulleman spent the weekend with his sister, Jackie Perlt, in the Twin Cities. I imagine she made good use of Steve while there, fixing things in the houses she buys and fixes up.

The Lakeview Methodist Church in Dewey Country is having a bake sale after church on Sunday. Come and get some of those goodies. They are also planning their corn feed. The corn comes from Marv Knoop’s patch.

Nancy Murray and her grandson, Jameson, were at Diane Hulleman’s on Sunday. They enjoyed dinner together and Diane made a banana cream pie. Yum! Talking with Marv Knoop, he tells us Bashaw Lake certainly hasn’t been fished like other years. Maybe they fished it out, Marv.

Talking with Vicki Trott, she tells us her dad, Cecil Melton, saw a cardiologist this past week. Hopefully they can give something different to Cecil so he doesn’t have so much pain all the time. Robin Melton was home for the weekend at Cecil and Evelyn’s. Robin, Peggy Vesta and Vicki Trott went over to see Jennifer Beecroft’s new house on the corner of Hwy. 253 and said it was very nice. While at Jennifer’s, the girls played cards. On Sunday, Allan and Julie Melton, Robin, Peggy and Vicki were at Cecil and Evelyn’s and they all enjoyed playing cards. They celebrated Peggy’s birthday.

Vicki and Don Trott are leaving on a trip to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, which was last year.

They are flying to Vancouver and going on a cruise for seven days clear to Alaska. Enjoy yourself, you two, as you’ve both earned it.

A very happy birthday to Peggy Vesta on Aug. 15.

Enjoy your special day, Peggy.

A couple of weeks ago Rusty and Cindy Melton Laundry came to Tom and Janice Melton’s for four days.

While there the families visited and played games. Tom says there were 25 people at their house for four days.

Jan Melton had off from her work that weekend, which was really nice.

Kids are lining things up for college already. I guess they have to get a-going as time waits for nobody. Bryan Knoop leaves soon. It doesn’t seem like it’s time for school to start already, does it?

Beth Crosby watched Chad and Ashley’s kids Wednesday through Friday while their mom, Ashley, helped her brother, Mitch Coyour, at Coyland Creek get ready for the state shoot. Saturday, Beth and Garry attended a family reunion at Don and Charlene Strabel’s. Beth says it was fun to see everyone and they had a great time.

Sunday evening supper guests at the Crosbys’ were Tom and Sunshine, Isaac, Josie and Alycia and Shorty’s wife, Melissa. Shorty and kids Tyler and Katie were at the Wisconsin State Fair showing their cattle. They came home Sunday. Shorty drove one truck and Tyler drove the other with hay and feed for their cattle. They were there for six days.

Diane Hulleman tells us her granddaughter, Shannon Champeny, was over in Ireland for a week for her job.

Shannon is now a senior scientist.

Grandma Lisa Mangelsen tells us she’s a grandma three times now. Her son, Derrek Mangelsen, and his wife, Lupeta, had a baby boy on Aug. 3. His name is Nathaniel David Ray. Derrek is in the Army and is in Africa but will be coming home before long and they will be coming to Lisa’s about Sept 6 through Sept. 17. Lisa tells us Daisy Kate is a good sleeper and rarely gets up at night, which is great. Lisa’s other daughter Lacey, and Tim Merlino, live in El Paso, Texas, and they are coming to see the new niece and nephew. Lisa says she’s taking off from Economart for her vacation. Aug. 27, Lisa will be getting a foreign exchange student that will go to Shell Lake Schools. Her name is Johanna Gustaffson and she is 17. She comes from Sweden. Lisa says school starts in Shell Lake Sept. 1. Should be an interesting year for Lisa and her exchange student.

A very happy birthday to Johanna Gustaffson on her special day, Aug. 10. May you enjoy your special day, Johanna.

Richy has been busy getting his farm shipshape for the upcoming deer open house Aug. 29.

I talked with my niece, Janie Lauterbach, and she tells me she’s busy canning pickles. She canned beans during the week and made spaghetti sauce also. So she’s very busy. She tells us the family went camping at the campgrounds of the Log Cabin on Friday evening and Saturday. The kids had a great time. Janie says the kids were at Jack Pine Savage Days and took part in the activities on Saturday. During the week, Stephanie and Colton Cowell came to Janie’s along with sister Megan. Stephanie and Colton went and got Grandma Marie from the farm and she snipped beans for Janie. I wish I had a dime for every quart of canned stuff my sister canned in her days.

She had the seven kids besides herself and Warren, so I’m certain it took lots and lots of food. Colton will be 4 months old on Aug. 21 and at this time he smiles and smiles. He also talks to people and is adorable. Stephanie will be going back to teaching at Bloomer this fall and Megan will go back to teaching speech pathology in four schools this fall. Janie tells us her mom has joint pains and has bad knees but since she had surgery on her leg she’s so much better.

Talking with Bob and Lynn Smith, they tell us they are opening their apple shop on Aug. 15. The apples are ready and it’s early but hey, we’re all looking forward to those fresh apples right off the tree. Bob says they will have Duchess, which make delicious pies and applesauce. And of course Lynn will be getting the kitchen ready for baking all those goodies that she makes with her special touch. So come and get those apples and baked goodies.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Many of our songbirds are done nesting and have stopped singing while they molt before their fall migration. Goldenrod is blooming; making it allergy time. The black-eyed Susans and jewelweeds are also blooming.

Soybeans and corn in our area look like a bumper crop with the great growing conditions this year. We just have to pray we don’t get a hailstorm.

We got the badly needed rain we needed. It was a nice, slow rain all night on Thursday and another rain on Sunday afternoon. Don’t know the amounts as my little gauge only held 1-1/2 inches and that ran over more than once.

August will fly by fast with lots of playtime. It has five weekends of Saturdays and Sundays. Stores have big supplies of school stuff. That too, will start before we know it.

Cabin in Trego. They went tubing only one day due to rain. They enjoyed eating out at the wine place, the Red School House in Stone Lake.

Monday night, I attended funeral visitation at Appleyards in Rice Lake for Marilyn Scalzo, 71. There were so many attending that I was in line for 1-1/2 hours. The funeral was Tuesday at Bethany Lutheran in Rice Lake with interment in the Earl Cemetery where the Butenhoff family was from. There were so many beautiful flowers.

Janet Zimmerman visited and had lunch with me on Thursday. Elaine Ryan stopped down also to visit. After

six weeks, Elaine got the cast and the pin out of her hand that she had broke. Now it’s therapy time.

Fall is definitely in the air, bringing us closer to the 37thannual Stone Lake Cranberry Festival on Saturday, Oct. 3.

I’ll have more details on happenings for this year’s fest at a later date.

Gratitude is extended to all that donated to the Cranberry Relay For Life Cancer Team. $1,200 was collected in their walk for cancer at the Hayward Wesleyan Church on Aug. 7.

The Stone Lake Lions will be celebrating 45 years of service on Saturday, Aug. 15, at the Stone Lake Lions Hall.

There will be a reception at 6 p.m., with a five-course buffet dinner at 7 p.m. The keynote speaker will be Ron Duffe, past international director. Please RSVP by calling 715-865-2155. The cost is $25 per person. Please make checks payable to Stone Lake Lions, P.O. Box 39, Stone Lake, WI 54876.

Are you ready to take an entire afternoon or just an hour or so off for some great fun this Sunday? Well, have we got a deal for you. The Wiesner family and friends reunion will be held this Sunday, Aug. 16, starting at noon at the Wiesner Community Chapel. The chapel is located on CTH V, between Hwy. 48 and CTH B just west of Rice Lake. If you haven’t been able to attend one of these reunions before, now’s your chance. These people have way too much fun – and if you aren’t a friend yet, it’s just because you haven’t met them. There will be an auction, craft sale and a potluck picnic. So, bring the family and friends, a dish to pass, and a white elephant item and come and join the fun.

I stopped by Shirley Albee’s place last week, and her daughters, Sandy and Kathy, were very busily making colorful sun catcher/wind chimes for the craft sale part of the reunion. They also have a quilt for the auction. I don’t think those girls ever stop working.

Imagine a drum roll here. If you get a chance to pick up the August/September issue of the Our Wisconsin magazine, grab it. There is a very nice article about Ron Helstern and Kevin McClain and their guitar-making partnership on pages 12 and 13. Isn’t that something?

Barronett is becoming well known as a town filled with artists. Things have changed a little around here since the mid-1900s, haven’t they?

Joan and Rick Stetler and Don and Kathy (Mitts) Martinelli were among the many alumni attending the Cumberland High School class reunion at the American Legion in Cumberland last Saturday evening. The event was catered

by Beth Ranallo from the Barronett Bar. Joan said that she and her crew did a wonderful job preparing and serving the food. Joan said that there were 60-70 people attending, and they had a very nice time visiting and catching up on

Heart Lake

all the news from former classmates.

Don and Kathy joined us for worship service Sunday morning at Barronett Lutheran. Kathy is Doug Sweet’s cousin, and grew up in this area. She and Don drove up from their home in Kenosha for the visit. Kathy was confirmed at Barronett Lutheran, and checked out the confirmation pictures hanging in the back of the church. It was nice to have Kathy and Don with us, and hope they come back to visit again soon.

Melanie and Dale Janz came to visit with Ruth and Dick Grover for a few days last week. They are now headed back to their new home in Larkspur, Colo.

Marge Rouzer, her son, Dave, and her sister, Milly, came to visit with Dick and Ruth one day earlier this month.

Marge and Milly are Bergmans, and when Dick was a very small child he had lived with their family for a few years, so they consider him their little brother. Dick and Ruth said they had a lot of fun visiting and reminiscing.

I went to Madison on Saturday for an all-school reunion of the Badger Elementary School. My cousins, Sue Meier and Bert Hefty, were there, and they were almost the only ones that I could recognize. Holy cow! It’s been about 60 years since I’ve seen most of the people there. I haven’t changed all that much, but the rest of the people have changed drastically. I’m sure they are saying the same thing about me right now. Luckily we all had name tags. There was even one teacher there, Henry Lipke, who taught a few years after I graduated. I had so much fun talking to all my old friends, and I made a vow to myself that I would stay in touch with some of them now. It seems that we have even more in common now than we did when we were 13 years old.

Duane and I had breakfast with Garett, Kandice, Kane and Lynn Thon on Sunday morning. The Thon family had

Charlotte Thompson came here to Glenview to visit me and also Doris Linton and Naomi Beardsley.

Get-well wishes to Nancy Melton who had surgery recently. She is a volunteer here at Glenview.

Visiting Marvin Flach for a short time is Ronnie Erickson and his grandson, Tristin, of North Carolina. Mavis’

Dewey-LaFollette Sympathy is extended to Laura Schmidt and family due to the death of Laura’s husband, John. He was 59.

Congratulations to Lisa Mangelsen on the birth of her first grandson; third grandchild. Nathaniel Mangelsen was born to Derek and Lupita Mangelsen on Aug. 3. Great-grandparents are Maynard and Ronda Mangelsen.

Clam River Tuesday Club met at the home of Sue Mroszak on Aug. 4. The ladies worked on plans for their fundraiser, which is Saturday, Oct. 10.

Gerry and Donna Hines, Lida Nordquist and Marlene Swearingen went to Circle Pines, Minn., on Wednesday and had lunch with Nick and Esther Mangelsen. They helped Nick celebrate his 84th birthday.

Karen and Hank Mangelsen visited Roger and Sue Mroszak on Wednesday evening.

Joleen, Angie and Warren Funk, Nina and Donna Hines, Vicki Wiita, Marlene Swearingen, and Hank and Karen Mangelsen were lunch guests of Lida Nor-

in the wetland park on Oct. 8, so be sure to mark this date on your calendar. It will be for anyone wishing to attend and will show you how to get rid of this invasive plant on your property. This Buckthorn Field Day is a function of Washburn County Land and Water Conservation Department. They may even give you a chance to practice in the park.

The 2015 Stone Lake Cemetery Walk at Evergreen Cemetery will be held on Sunday, Sept. 13, with activities beginning at 1 p.m. and continuing until 3 or 4 p.m. Eleven of Stone Lake’s pioneer families will be featured this year and there will be refreshments and entertainment. Hopefully, you will leave with a deeper appreciation of Stone Lake’s earliest settlers.

Don’t forget the farmers market is still going on each Thursday in downtown Stone Lake from 2 to 5 p.m.

Have a good week and be safe.

Please include your phone number so we can call you if we have questions before the order is sent in. The sale of these memorial bricks takes care of the costs of regular maintenance of the park.

Steve Lorenz has completed another day of buckthorn eradication in the wetland park, with lots of headway being made. We are only able to purchase the services of this expert because the wetland park received a $1,500 grant from the Cranberry Fest to be used to fight this destructive shrub. Everyone involved in this project sends sincere gratitude to the Cranberry Festival committee for this outstanding donation. Several regular park volunteers are assisting in this project and will soon start burning the buckthorn that was cut two years ago. Anywhere you walk in the park you will see signs of buckthorn in various stages of eradication, and the goal is to have the entire park in a phase of maintenance only in just a few years. If any of you have buckthorn on your property, an educational session on buckthorn eradication will be held

just come from church, and little 4-month-old Kane was dressed in a suit with vest, pocket handkerchief and tie.

He looked like a very small, very successful businessman.

He certainly has the gift of gab. He would look straight at us, do his cooing noises, and we could tell by his facial expressions that he thought we were understanding every word. He’s adorable and I think we’ll keep him.

We finally met Jeffrey Olson’s new little son, Christian Dale, on Saturday evening. He was up at Jim Copus’ campsite, visiting with his grandma, Pat Olson. Christian is a month old, and he is such a tiny little thing. He is cute as a button, and Jeffrey is such a proud dad. All of us grandmas were giving him all kinds of advice on how to take care of Christian, but I think he will probably do his own thing and the little guy will be just fine.

Our sympathy goes out to the family of John Bellefeuille, who passed away July 30. John was a wonder(Aug. 12, 19, 26) ful man who will be missed STATE OF WISCONSIN by all who knew him.

Spooner Health System holds health fair SPOONER — Nearly 300 people participated in Spooner Health System’s 31stannual health fair held Saturday, Aug. 8.

A total of 98 lab draws were done for cholesterol and blood glucose screening. In addition, for those who didn’t fast or who preferred to not wait in line, 46 vouchers were given for people to come and get their labs drawn in the next couple of months.

There were numerous blood pressure checks. Kids had fun getting thumb casts and face painting.

Numerous outside organizations had presentations, including ADRC, River Street Dental, Indianhead Eye Clinic and Lakeland Family Resource Center. — from SHS

Taylor Weinstock got her blood pressure checked at the Spooner Health System Health Fair held Saturday, Aug. 8. Barb Oie was one of many staff members on hand to provide services and answer questions.

Logan Smith got a Batman makeover from face painter Suzie Q as Kyla Leek and Kaylee Smith watched.

The beautiful face paintings on Evelyn Pederson, Leeann Karatchmer and Nikole Jensen would only last a couple of hours, as they were registered for the Kids Dash Mud Run.

Canada geese sighting There are 20 goslings and two sets of adult Canada geese in this creche on the Yellow River. The geese form creches to help protect their offspring.

A gosling is quite independent once they are hatched. They can walk, swim and find their own food. The only thing they need from Mom and Dad is protection. They will be flying south this fall, and they will separate after the spring migration. — Photo by Larry Samson
