WASHBURN COUNTY – Washburn County is blessed with many high-quality lakes. Unfortunately, this is not true for some parts of Wisconsin. So what makes Washburn County lakes so attractive to those who enjoy time in and on them? What have landowners, lake associations and government agencies done to preserve and enhance the quality of our public waters? There are a lot of actions to be sure, but one practice that helps is the amount of naturally vegetated shorelines along our lakes. Many lakeshore owners have left their shorelines natural or are taking small steps to restore native plants with the help of governmental agencies. Join your neighbors in protecting your lake.

Does shoreline vegetation really matter? Yes. The roots of native plants grow deeper and contribute to lake protection by reducing wave action and slowing water hitting or running down the bank and causing erosion. Native plants provide shade, food, cover and nesting sites for fish, frogs, turtles and other wildlife that live in or near the water. A vegetated area also filters pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides and pet waste washing off the land that contributes to algae blooms. Did you know one goose produces 15 pounds of droppings per week? Geese prefer mowed lawns, so natural vegetation pre-

vents them from being a nuisance.

An effective shoreline buffer has layers of vegetation including trees, shrubs and wildflowers, ferns, grasses and sedges. The simplest way to achieve those layers is to stop mowing and let the native seedbed grow. Homeowners often create small paths and open areas to view the lake. Birdhouses and bird feeders add interest too. Keeping fallen trees and other woody debris along the water’s edge and in the water creates habitat for many different critters. For more information and assistance on protecting your shoreline, check out the sources listed below: The Washburn County Land and Water Conservation Department has funding available for technical assistance to help landowners restore their shoreline to a native setting and/or help with an ongoing erosion problem. Depending on the situation, up to 70 percent of costs can be reimbursed to the landowner. For more information, call 715-468-4654 or email landwtr@ co.washburn.wi.us. A brochure on the program can be found on their website, co.washburn. wi.us/departments/land-water-conservation.

Spooner man sentenced to five years in federal prison MADISON – John W. Vaudreuil, United States attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Ross Wilson, 51, Spooner, Wis., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley to five years in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine. Wilson pleaded guilty to this offense on June 10.

Conley stated that the five-year prison sentence was necessary to hold Wilson accountable for absconding after state charges were filed, for selling methamphetamine in residences where

children were present, and for the harm Wilson caused to the communities where he dealt illegal drugs.

The charge against Wilson was the result of an investigation conducted by the Washburn and Barron County sheriffs departments and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy M. O’Shea.- from The U.S. DOJ

It’s the start of the apple season Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE – Customers will sense that the Smith Apple Farm is a labor of love for Bob and Lynn Smith, as they open their farm store for the 28th year. The apple season started on Saturday, Aug. 15, for the family-owned apple orchard. The store will be open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The first thing to greet you as you enter the store is the aroma of the fresh-baked apple pies and apple pastries. There is a pot of coffee on for those who want to try the free samples with their coffee. Apple bread, apple donuts and apple coffee cake are fresh baked every morning. “When we first opened 28 years ago the bakery was a small part of the business. Today people come for the bakery and leave with some apples,” Bob said of the changes in the family-owned business. The store has apples, cherries and pumpkins available in season.

The quality and quantity of the apples is dependent on the weather. This year has been a cool, wet summer, ideal growing conditions, but high winds or a hailstorm can change that in just a few minutes. Bob watches the weather closely, tracking the weather and storms that could quickly change a good year into a disaster like the 2011 tornado that destroyed the crop and trees. An early-season freeze can freeze out the blossoms before the season even starts or a late-season freeze can damage the crop. But this season looks to be a good one for the Smith Apple Farm.

The 22-acre valley view orchard is the beautiful part of the business that most people do not see. Bob and Lynn Smith spend many hours maintaining the 3,600 apple trees and the pumpkin patch before the store even opens.

Bob and Lynn Smith, owners of Smith Apple Farm, opened their store for the season on Saturday, Aug. 15.

The old wood cooking stove has been retired and is part of the character of the Smith Apple Farm Store. Lynn Smith rises at 5 a.m. to start the baking to provide the fresh, old-fashioned pies that draw people every day from a 75-mile radius.

It will be a good year for the apple producers in the area as the ample rain and cool summer have made for ideal growing conditions.

Approvals for SL police chief Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE – The Shell Lake City Council approved two recommendations that impact the Shell Lake Police Department at their regular monthly meeting on Monday, Aug. 10.

The first recommendation was for the purchase and increased monthly cost of an iPhone 6 for Shell Lake Chief of Police Dave Wilson.

According to Wilson, the city has three cell phones that share 1,200 minutes between them. The public works department has an emergency cell phone, the police department has one cell phone that is used by the on-call officer and the city’s police squad computers have an airtime phone number in order to run.

The city has an existing government contract that has a significantly lower rate than private plans, which the phone will remain on. The phone itself will also be purchased at the government rate, considerably less expensive than retail.

In total the department will have just over $300 in one-time costs for the purchase and an additional $34 a month. The $300 will come from the city’s contin-

Road construction delays

gency while the additional $34 a month will be absorbed by the police department budget.

The second approval was for the chief of police to use a city police squad car between his personal residence and the city of Shell Lake. The council discussed the implications of setting a precedent, the benefits to the city and chief, maintaining access to the department’s only two vehicles and the estimated increased costs if approved.

Andy Eiche, city administrator, estimated that the chief would put an additional 4,500 miles a year on if he drove it every day. It was also pointed out that there isn’t an existing policy that says the chief can’t do this already, but Wilson has driven a squad home on long shifts for a break on a case-by-case basis.

Wilson stated that the county and St. Croix Police do this, as do the Spooner Police, but only on a case-by-case basis.

The council approved the chief of police to use a city police squad between his personal residence and the city of Shell Lake on a four-to-three roll call vote.

Unexpected delays and wet weather have moved the completion date for the Hwy. 63 project from Labor Day to Friday, Sept. 18, and perhaps as late Friday, Sept. 25. It had been hoped to finish the project before Town and Country Days Friday - Monday, Sept. 4-7, on Labor Day weekend.

Shell Lake Schools will start on Tuesday, Sept. 1; expect some delays in school busing. – Photo

Shorelands/from page 1 sources recently launched Healthy Lakes – a statewide initiative that includes Webbased technical assistance and possible grant funding for relatively simple projects to improve water quality and habitat along lakeshores. There are five projects to choose from, depending on the site’s needs and landowner’s goals – whether replacing woody habitat in the water, restoring native plants, or slowing runoff and getting it to soak into the ground. Eligible sponsors like qualified lake associations, lake districts, towns and the county can apply for grant funding on behalf of individual property owners.

Saturday, Aug. 1 At approximately 10:30 p.m., Larry D. Grayburn, 80, of Eagle River, was attempting to make a turn from Hwy. 53 near Duck Pond Road in the Town of Beaver Brook when he went into the ditch.

After construction crews working on the Hwy. 63 road project struck a natural gas line on the afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 12, residents in the immediate block near the corner of 2nd Avenue and Hwy. 63 were evacuated from their homes. The campers in the Shell Lake Campground were told to extinguish their campfires as the Shell Lake Fire Department and crews from WE Energies contained the natural gas leak. Sixteen houses and businesses had the gas turned off as the crew repaired the 4-inch line. It wasn’t until 9:30 p.m. that the gas was restored. – Photo

Washburn County accident reports

Monday, Aug. 3 At approximately 2 p.m., James Johnson, 70, of Minong, was driving his 2002 Pontiac Grand AM S Coupe northbound on Shell Creek Road near the intersection of Brooklyn Road just as Josephine Sonnenberg, 61, of Elgin, Minn., was making a U-turn on an ATV on Brooklyn Road.

Sonnenberg struck Johnson in the passenger door as she made the U-turn. Johnson suffered no apparent injuries while Sonnenberg was ejected from the ATV and was possibly injured. Sonnenberg was not medically transported. The ATV and car both received minor damage.

Tuesday, Aug. 4 At approximately 1:37 p.m., Eric M. Davis, 28, of Clearwater, Fla., reported

that the semitruck he was operating had been hit while parked in the parking lot of the Trego Travel Center. The semi had damage to the front passenger side on the corner bumper guard. Amber Hirsch, 26, of Cumberland, reported that she had observed a white, full-sized van parked next to the semi, while she took a break from her shift at the Trego Travel Center. No other information on the suspect or the vehicle has been uncovered.

Thursday, Aug. 6 At approximately 11 a.m., Chris A. Tinucci, 52, of Glendale Heights, Ill., was eastbound on an ATV trail near Nick Road in the Town of Birchwood when he drove off the trail and hit a rock, causing the ATV to roll forward and throw Tinucci

off into a tree. Tinucci was not seriously injured. The accident report states Tinucci was wearing a helmet but had not completed an ATV safety course, and the accident was attributed to operator inexperience and speed. The ATV was owned

by Mud Puppy ATV rentals of Sarona.

Thursday, Aug. 13 At approximately 9:51 a.m., Benjamine Drown, 80, of Springbrook, was driving his 2011 Toyota Prius northbound on Swanson Road just south of Buchmand Road in the Town of Gull Lake when he drifted out of his lane briefly, entered the ditch and collided with a tree. Drown only received minor cuts and scrapes on his head while the Prius was severely damaged and towed.

Letters to the editor Drive sober campaign Innocent victims are killed or injured nearly every day because of a drunken driver.

To stop this senseless tragedy on our roadways, law enforcement agencies throughout the state will be out in force from Friday, Aug. 21, through Labor Day for the annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown on

drunken driving.

Despite their best efforts, law enforcement officers cannot find and arrest every drunken driver. To reduce drunken driving crashes, we all must make a commitment to never drive while impaired and to stop loved ones and friends from driving when they’re not sober.

With everyone’s commitment, we can continue to make progress toward the goal of reducing the number of preventable traffic deaths to zero in Wisconsin.

Area news at a glance OSCEOLA — Felony charges have been filed against Katrina Willey, 22, Star Prairie, after she allegedly struck a pedestrian at highway speed as he was walking along Hwy. 35 at approximately 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8, south of Osceola. The man suffered multiple broken bones, lacerations and apparent spinal injuries. According to Polk County Sheriff Deputy Capt. Steve Smith, two men were walking along the highway when a car passed, striking one man so hard it knocked him into the other man and into the ditch. According to Smith, the injuries to the one man were immediately obvious to the other pedestrian who was uninjured and he was able to call 911. The driver did not stop and continued on down the road. The strike was powerful enough to leave evidence of a broken passenger-side car mirror at the scene. A short time after the accident, a man called police to say his wife’s car had been struck in the parking

The last days of summer

A

s much as I hate to admit it, it is that time of year. Sunset comes just a little bit earlier every day, the tall grasses are browning off and the sumac leaves are just starting to turn red. We have a few weeks of good weather to look forward to, but the beautiful weather won’t last that long. The end of summer means many things, one of the biggest being back to school for our children. Although I haven’t been out buying notebooks, pens and other school supplies, I am thinking and planning for the fall and winter ahead.

As a young child, I put things off as long as I could, especially if the task wasn’t something I really enjoyed doing. I can still hear my mother saying to me, “it would be a lot easier if you did just a little bit every day.

A police officer went to the woman’s home to see if the car had been struck or if it was the suspected vehicle from the hit-and-run. Police found the car was consistent with parts found at the scene of the hit-andrun accident. The missing mirror was a match, and blood was found on the headlight assembly. — from the InterCounty Leader ••• CALIFORNIA —World Heritage Student Exchange Program, a public benefit organization, is seeking local host families for high school students from over 30 countries: Spain, Germany, Thailand, Denmark, Portugal, South Korea, Italy, France, the former Soviet Union countries, Norway and more.

the community.

In a few days, I’ll be attending another business-of-the-year ceremony in Ashland. Back in 1890, Christopher George Bretting purchased the Parish Manufacturing Company and changed the name to C. G. Bretting Manufacturing. For five generations this familyowned firm has prospered in northern Wisconsin and donated generously to the greater Ashland community. Over the course of 125 years, the Bretting family has established and maintained a reputation for top-quality products and excellent customer service.

The hard work and local focus of businesses like the Northwoods Community Credit Union and C. G. Bretting Manufacturing are our best tools for economic growth. I was proud to join the Ashland Area Development Corporation and the Park Falls Area Community Development Corporation in saluting these two great businesses.

Like many other small businesses across northern Wisconsin, they are the key to

building a better future for our families, friends and neighbors.

I attended the 2015 Lake Superior Business and Technology Conference sponsored by the Lake Superior chapter of the Wisconsin Innovation Network and the Wisconsin Technology Council. I heard from the members of our business community, including Willard Ogren, president, Security State Bank, and Mark Tyler, president, OEM Fabricators.

Working closely with partners in the state’s excellent technical college and UW-Extension system, northern Wisconsin’s small businesses can spur growth and lay the groundwork for sustained economic opportunity. With an eye on the future and an ear for my mother’s advice, I am confident we can create a brighter future that builds on the unique strengths of our land and our people. As our children get ready to go back to school, we need to concentrate on building that brighter future for them here, at home.

Read Me … Read Me Not “The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics” by Daniel James Brown Reviewed by Eloise Sylla, Trego If you are a reader who tends to shy away from the nonfiction shelves of your library, be wary no longer.

“The Boys in the Boat” reads like a work of fiction. Last year, this book won the American Library Association’s Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction Selection and was chosen as the American Booksellers Association’s Adult Nonfiction Book of the Year. “The Boys in the Boat” is by far the best book that this Washburn County reader has encountered in a long time.

It is the story of Joe Rantz, a member of the University of Washington’s rowing team that won the gold medal in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, as told to the author by Joe, himself, during his final days as an old man in hospice care. Daniel James Brown tells Joe’s tale with such feeling and detail that you will find yourself cheering for Joe as he struggles through life, courageously surviving one setback after another, after being abandoned as a child by his father and stepmother. It is Joe’s heartwarming life story, his love story, and a primary-source American history lesson set through the Great Depression years up to World War II.

The members of Joe’s rowing team came from families of farmers, loggers and fishermen of the Pacific Northwest. Their success against the wealthy boys of the Ivy League schools, who had traditionally dominated the sport of rowing, gave hope to the thousands of Americans who followed the races on their radios and in the newspapers. The Washington team’s success confirmed that ordinary people could achieve great things, when the boys began competing against England’s Cambridge and Oxford teams and with their final glory against the Italians and Hitler’s hand-chosen, pure Aryan team at the Berlin Olympics.

Brown skillfully weaves Joe Rantz’s personal story with the stories of his crewmembers, and their coach, Al Ulbrickson, who retired as recently as 1959 from a long career in competitive rowing. Readers develop respect and admiration for George Pocock, the highly renowned boat designer, builder, coach, and Joe’s mentor. You may be surprised at how well Hitler and Joseph Goebbel, head of the Ministry of Propaganda, staged the Berlin Olympics to deceive the world about Germany’s actions against the Jews, using the filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl to create monumental propaganda films about the glories of Hitler’s reign. Best of all, the publishers use of photographs brings all these people and events to life for readers.

David Laskin, author of “The Long Way Home,” says, “History, sports, human interest, weather, suspense, design, physics, oppression and inspiration, ‘The Boys in the Boat’ has it all.”

It sure has been a growing week. Corn is reaching the sky and forming big cobs.

Hay is really growing, seems it was just cut and put up. Garden veggies are really producing. Folks are now busy preserving them. My late raspberries are starting to ripen. They’re really big and juicy this year.

Weather has been a bit hot all week, but a cool Monday morn, only 62 degrees at this writing. Seems kinda nice.

The Tuesday P.M. Spooner women’s bowling league had their fall meeting at the alley Tuesday night and will be starting Sept. 1.

Company at the Anton Freys this week were granddaughter Dana Knable and husband from Twentynine Palms, Calif., one day and also visiting her mom, Peggy, and other relatives.

Thursday, Wendy Dernoski Hudson and her two sisters and mom, Della Story, from Jump River, visited them.

Jim Frey and Lynn had Gloria, Anton and Pete Frey, Jan and Jeff Johnston and Lynn’s daughter, Natalie and friend from Rice Lake for a fish supper. Lynn’s big fish she had caught in Canada, really good.

Get-well wishes to Jessie Gronning who had surgery after an injury diving off from

a dock. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Les and Sandy Vogt are back from their trip to Alaska this summer. They spent seven weeks traveling to Anchorage, Fairbanks, Homer, Valdez, Tok, even Chicken.

They saw Denali, glaciers, moose, bear, whales and seals. It was an incredible trip, full of memories to last a lifetime.

While in Palmer, the Vogts learned about the Matanuska Colony from one of the original colonists volunteering in the visitor center. The lady, a child at the time, talked about the 1935 New Deal relocation program that enrolled 203 families, 67 from Michigan, 69 from Minnesota and 67 from Wisconsin, to move to Palmer to buy farms and build homes.

In the list of names from Wisconsin we found four families from Shell Lake, one from Spooner and three from Rice Lake.

Only 20 families actually remained. I’ll bet there were some interesting stories.

Our sympathies to Denise Jechorek, our neighbor on Big Ripley, who lost her mother on Friday.

The big event in our family was the Marschall/Anderson wedding Saturday.

It was a bit warm but all turned out so beautiful, held at the bride’s home farm Old milk cans and flowers decorated

Milk labels

A

s I observed Milt getting a glass out of the cupboard, removing the milk jug from the refrigerator and seeing him pour a cool glass of the white liquid, I realized something was wrong by the expression on his face when he looked at the full glass of his favorite beverage.

Oh dear, I had done it once again!

In my haste to grab a couple of jugs of milk before heading home, I had grabbed the green-labeled milk jugs expecting it to be 1-percent milk. Instead, this brand of milk was skim.

This is a no-no in our household. You would think I would learn to stop and read the label carefully. It was just the week before that in my haste I grabbed

a blue-labeled jug and it contained 2-percent milk.

This kind of milk is OK in our house. Milt was used to drinking butterfat-rich milk while being raised on a farm. This milk, not being pasteurized, was very rich because the cream had already started to rise to the top of the can when his dad would collect a gallon for their household consumption. Therefore Milt would prefer to drink whole milk. In my estimation that is a no-no. Thus we have compromised and use 1-percent milk.

One brand uses a yellow label and cap to indicate 1 percent while another brand uses green, then again another uses blue. Some companies use pink to indicate skim milk. I don’t always shop the same place when needing to replenish the milk supply. I stop at what-

ever place is most convenient to where I am before I head home to the refrigerator. Did milk distributors get together on making sure they use different colored labels for their butterfat percentage to purposely keep us consumers on our toes or perhaps to increase milk sales?

The solution to our wrong percentage was solved the next day when I observed jugs of milk lined up on the counter in the kitchen. Milt was dividing into jugs equal parts of whole milk, 1 percent and the unwanted skim milk. To me this didn’t equal 1 percent. The milk consumers that Milt and I are, I guess that mistake was corrected and we were able to enjoy a glass of one of our favorite beverages that went very well with the fresh-from-the-oven chocolate-chip cookies.

For the love of old cars

W

hen I was in first-year high school, my older brother brought home an old Model T Ford.

This car was a wreck on wheels. It had the oogah horn and when he drove it into the yard he blew it loudly so our whole family could welcome it. Our dad wanted it in the high grass out behind some trees, where Pat could fix it up when he had time, and most people didn’t have to look at it. Not exactly a yard ornament, it was rusty black with peeling paint, built square, like a carriage from the horse-and-buggy days.

Pat let me sit in it. The upholstery smelled like musty old wet rags, and grease and oil, and some of the weeds Pat had driven through were poking up through the rotted floorboards. It had window shades, and they were full of holes, giving the car a forlorn look. Sitting there on the damp backseat, I thought of the former owners, and how the car must have looked when it was new. They might have been proud of it, but now it had lost its luster, you might say, and needed some extraordinary tender loving care.

Pat was more interested in the engine. He cranked it up and got his wrist hurt. I think the crank hit his arm as a warning to stay away, like a watchdog barking, but he cranked it up again and it started chugging. There were sparks coming from the engine under the front seat, and exhaust was coming in. I hustled out of there.

I was a bit scared it might actually explode or go somewhere like the cars you see on the roads.

During the next few days, Pat spent most of his time working on the Ford. I would

see him out there with his head under the hood, and cleaning parts and working with tools. He was never alone. Every boy in the neighborhood had to come to see his car and admire the engine and examine the body as if it was worth a whole lot more than the couple of dollars he paid for it.

We took a test ride and I got to sit in the backseat by my sister while my two brothers sat in the front beside Pat. We rode around the section, and the car chugged along at about 10 miles per hour. I was a little afraid we might get out there in the country and it would fall apart and we would have to walk home. We made it.

Pat didn’t have that car very long and even after it went to another boy and we waved goodbye to it, I had become interested in old cars.

This was in 1947, not long after World War II ended, and many new cars were coming out, with exciting changes. During the war the cars from the 1930s had to be kept up, because no new cars were available. Then the car manufacturers’ new models began rolling off the assembly lines and there was a demand, leaving the older cars for boys to buy cheap and renovate.

Nowadays people wouldn’t like a car that had to be started with a crank. The starter on the floor came along, and now you just turn on the key and it starts. There was a clutch, a lever with a knob on it that had to be shifted, and a foot feed, now called an accelerator, and there was a dimmer switch, which is not there anymore. The seats were like benches, and only exclusive, fancy sports cars had bucket seats. The headlights used to stick out from

the body and now they are in the streamlined design.

I guess you don’t say streamlined, these days. They used to have a running board along the sides of the car, where you could step onto it getting into the car.

The Model A Ford was a nice old car. Our uncle had one and it was a coupe, a small body, and painted black. I loved riding in the rumble seat of that little car. There was the fun of feeling your hair blow in the wind, and neighbors would wave at you when you rode by, me and my sister perched there like queens of the fair in a parade.

I admire people who find comfort in renovating old cars. Some just fix them up. But many restorers go to great lengths to make their old cars more beautiful than when they were new. There are magazines devoted to restorers’ desires. There are parts stores, but the ones needed might be unavailable. If the parts can’t be found in the catalogs, one might travel along country roads looking for abandoned cars resting and rusting in someone’s back 40. The old parts might still be found.

To restore a car that’s considered an antique is a labor of love. It’s a great form of therapy, too. It takes dedication and hard work but the results may be worthwhile. I admire them and their wonderful restored cars. I do prefer to drive the car I have now. It’s quite different from the old Model T Ford, and I’m thankful for that.

Lions fish fry fundraiser set for Town and Country Days SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake’s Town and Country Days, held over the Labor Day weekend for decades, has always been a celebration of life marking the end of another fun-filled summer in Washburn County.

Once again this year, the festivities kick off Friday, Sept. 4, at 4 p.m., with the Shell Lake Lions Club annual fish fry featuring Lake Superior whitefish.

The fresh fish, brought down from Cornucopia the day of the event, are courtesy of Cornucopia’s Halverson Fisheries. The commercial fishing family has over 40 years of experience on the big lake and specializes in these traditional Lake Superior delicacies.

Moms Club to host informational picnic SPOONER — The Moms Club of Northwestern Wisconsin is celebrating recent club changes by hosting a picnic open to anyone interested in learning what the club does. The informational picnic will be held on Monday, Aug. 24, from 4-6 p.m., at City Park in Spooner. Please feel free to stop by when able, to find out more of what the club is about and meet members. Free hot dogs and snacks will be provided to families in attendance as well as child-friendly activities.

The club, formerly known as Moms Club of Spooner, has disbanded from Moms Club International in an effort to keep resources to a local level. The goal of the club is to benefit area moms and their families through service, support and

friendship. As they are in the process of molding the club to better suit the community, they plan on keeping with some of the traditions of the past. Every December, this not-for-profit group has gathered donations to help local families. Some recent projects have included making blankets for the Time-Out shelter to comfort children entering the safe haven, putting together go bags for the Benjamin House to give to kids of families who have found themselves temporarily without a home, adopting a family for Christmas and toy drives.

This year, they are hoping to focus on the Washburn County Food Pantry, to which they recently donated the remainder of Moms Club of Spooner funds.

Another tradition they are continuing is

the bake sale held during Jack-O-Lantern Fest at Lakeland Family Resource Center where a portion of the proceeds go towards the center. There are always good treats, breads and other tasty baked goods to not only benefit the center, but also your taste buds.

Service projects are just a portion of what the club members do together. There are monthly play dates called Coffee Club and organized Moms Nights Out, which are scheduled outings for a chance to socialize without the little ones in tow.

Monthly meetings are also held on the second Tuesday morning of the month.

This group has no political or religious affiliation and the members come from all walks of life, so all are welcome. The meetings can sometimes have speakers, do crafts or discuss upcoming projects.

Community members have spoken to the group on a variety of topics, ranging from health and nutrition to a police officer Q&A. A baby sitter is provided during the meetings where speakers are present.

Recently, the group toured the Spooner Fire Station in lieu of their regular scheduled meeting. Being busy moms, the group understands many cannot attend the monthly meeting and, thus, it is not a requirement to join. Technology has stepped in to foster the ability to communicate club happenings via Facebook and email.

For more information on the event, go to the club’s Facebook page, Moms Club of Northwestern Wisconsin, and click on the event link in the description portion of the page. — from Moms Club

For this goofy girl who is far from lightweight, It is gonna take work to get this big girl straight.

She’s not quite a year and weighs 98 pounds, It’s like wrestling “The Rock” when she’s playing around.

She’s silly, adorable and just might be smart, But it will take you to do a bit more on your part.

Once she learns manners and knows wrong from right, People won’t think she’s naughty but ever so bright.

You’ll love the minute you lay eyes on her, With your help she’ll be a great dog, this I’m sure.

any celebrities do not want to be recognized as role models. They do want attention and accolades, recognition and rewards, popularity and prestige. But they do not want the pressure to have to live lives that reflect integrity and honesty, purity and decency. They do not want, as many of them have said, “to be a role model.” And continue, “I want to live my life as I choose.”

Many of us, however, do want role models. We do want someone to look up to, to follow, to be our hero, our example. Often we think, “If I can see it, I can do it. If there is someone who has done it, I know others can do it and so can I!” David, in many ways, can be a hero for most of us. However, he did not want that responsibility. Not because of the pressure that it would put on him. He knew and wanted everyone else to know that his hero was his Lord, and he wanted others to hero-up to him.

“Blessed,” he said, is the person who “trusts in the Lord,” and does not “look to the proud or turn aside to false gods.” Whenever we look at David, we see a man who knew victory as well as defeat, who sinned and had to plead with God for his forgiveness. He recognized his failures and would never set himself up as a model. And he recognized that there was only one person he could look up to as a model: his Lord and Savior.

When we put our faith in him we know that he is not a false god. We can follow him confidently.

Dewey Country Phew! Yes, it’s hot and humid and they tell us it’s to be this way for a few more days. One day it’s only to be 68 degrees.

That’s a relief isn’t it?

Happy birthday to Lilli Melton on her special day Aug. 20. Have a great day.

Happy anniversary to Caleb and Sarah Melton as they enjoy their special day together on Aug. 20 with many more to come.

Happy birthday to Adyson Vanderhoof on her special day Aug. 21. Have a fun day, Adyson.

A very happy birthday to Allison Atkinson on her special day Aug. 21 with lots more to come.

A very happy anniversary to Jim and Marie Andrea who are married 51 years on Aug. 21. Many more to you.

Aug. 22, a very happy birthday to David Beecroft as he enjoys his special day with many more to come.

A very happy anniversary to Jerry and Rose Sexton, making it 40 years together on Aug. 23. Many more to you.

Aug. 23, a very happy birthday to Jerry Mortenson as he celebrates his special day with many more to come.

Aug. 25, a very happy birthday to Brianne Williams and to her cousin, Marjorie Otto. Enjoy that special day, girls.

Noah Lauterbach stayed with grandparents Marie and Warren Quam for a few days. Janie came and got him on Saturday. Marie tells me their daughter, Tricia Feeney, is going to go to college probably in the Rochester area. Johanna and Allyson Feeney will be going back to college shortly. Yes, it’s time for school already.

School bells will ring at Shell Lake soon.

I understand the beach will be closed, or rather, there won’t be any lifeguards on duty.

Last Friday night they had severe weather warnings in Burnett and Washburn counties. Looking out, I heard thunder in the north and looking east the sky was darn blue so I figured it had gone by. But it wasn’t long and we got the rain coming from the east. It really poured and pounded on the house and left a lot

of rain, which we certainly needed. Crops are looking good now and hope they stay that way.

Hey, have you heard about the bears being in Grantsburg? Yes they’re a problem. A lady and her children were chased home by a bear but got in the house before the bear got them. A scary feeling. Now there have been three different plans put before the board. The one I favor is to hire a sharpshooter and let him take them out.

In Minnesota I hear coyotes are in the area. They have killed a number of family dogs. Time to take them out too.

Last Monday, Diane Hulleman was at Terraceview where they made bread and butter pickles. The people will have them at their picnic coming up soon. Diane also shopped and shopped till she about dropped later.

In Washington and Virginia, they had that big computer down at the flight control center and airlines were no longer working. People were a little upset and had to be patient as eventually they got to where they were to be. They said no planes were flying at this time.

Aren’t we lucky we don’t live in California? They said they have 68 fires in various states. People were leaving their homes before the fire got to them and some watched their homes being burned.

It’s got to be a very scary feeling to watch your home burn. I know we went through a house fire but we rebuilt.

Congratulations to Brady Marshall and Ashley Anderson who were married on Saturday, Aug. 15. May you have a long happy life together.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cecil and Evelyn Melton family. On Tuesday, Evelyn tells us Cecil went into Shell Lake Hospital. The doctor in Shell Lake contacted the cardiologist and they had a meeting. What came out of the meeting was the cardiologist told him that it was no use to bring Cecil to Eau Claire at this time. So for now he remains at the Shell Lake Hospital. Evelyn stays with Cecil at night as Cecil doesn’t want to be alone. Some of the kids take turns being

Dewey-LaFollette Kay Krentz called on Hank and Karen Mangelsen Tuesday morning.

by Pauline Lawrence with their dad during the day. Homer and Robin Melton were up and went back today. Evelyn tells us Katie Melton is going to work at the handicap place in Rice Lake. Sara Melton, Caleb’s wife, says Sarah works at the Spooner Schools, Sarah Melton, the Melton’s daughter has a small shop which is open on Friday and Saturday. Please remember to keep Cecil in your special thoughts and prayers as Cecil has angina pain.

Rick and Dorrine Larson will be having an auction on Aug. 21, starting at 10 a.m.

Come and buy what you want.

Next Sunday, Aug. 23, will be the corn feed at the Lakeview Methodist Church.

Come and fill yourself up on corn as it’s great. The corn comes from Mark Knoop’s patch.

Understand Bryan Knoop will be leaving for Laramie, Wyo., a week from this Wednesday, Aug. 26. Bryan will be driving out for college this fall. Great job, Bryan! I imagine it will be hard on Mark and Noel leaving their son but it comes to all of us.

The bake sale at the Lakeview Methodist Church went fantastic. Prices were great, especially for pies.

Saturday night, Garry and Beth Crosby attended the reception and dance for Brady Marshall and Ashley Anderson.

The newlyweds were married in a cornfield on Ashley’s side of the family.

Shorty Crosby has been very busy baling for people. Sunday, Beth baby-sat for Chad and Ashley Crosby’s children while Mom and Dad went tubing.

Saturday found my son-in-law Jeff Ladd coming and doing my honey-do list.

Yes, he had a list and it certainly didn’t take him long to do it. During the week I made salsa from some tomatoes I had frozen and I sent a lot home with Jeff. He said he was going to enjoy it that night.

They all love salsa and a quart doesn’t last very long there. Jeff went to his dad’s, Duane Ladd, on Saturday before he came to my house and told his dad to be ready to go for his eye checkup in Eau Claire on Tuesday. Jeff takes his pa to the appoint-

Baxter and Larry Mangelsen visited Hank and Karen Mangelsen on the weekend.

The Rev. Joan Goebel was the guest pastor at Lakeview United Methodist Church Sunday morning. She had filled in there for about six months in 2008. After the service, an auction of baked goods was held in the fellowship hall. Nearly $400 was raised for Burnett County Salvation Army.

Lida Nordquist visited Fanny England Sunday afternoon.

by Helen V. Pederson

It is a gray morning. Looks like rain and that is always welcome. I don’t think it will be as hot and muggy as last week. I guess we take what is given to us.

The company that Mavis had last week has returned to North Carolina and the family reunion was a success.

Martha and Curt Pederson’s son Phillip and wife Bethany are the parents of twins born on July 5 in St. Paul, Minn. They had a girl, Nora, who weighed 6 pounds, 1 ounce, and a boy, Landon, weighing 3 pounds, 14 ounces. They are Peder’s great-grandchildren. Congratulations to all!

Lillian Ullom and Doris Stevens went to the nursing home on Sunday visiting friends.

The twin girls of Cheri and Steve Minot, Tonya and Michelle, age 26, attended a twins reunion in Twinsburg, Ohio, recently. This is attended by twins from around the world and this year had 2,053, this being the 40th reunion. They led the parade for their age group. They were gone three days and then returned to Chicago where they work.

Mary and Keith White of Cross Plains were up for the weekend visiting Helen Pederson on Saturday morning and then attending their class (45th) reunion in the after-

ments.

Shirley Stellrecht had the misfortune of getting her thumb where it shouldn’t be.

She was taken to Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake and had 33 stitches in her thumb. She was given medication, which she was allergic to, so back to the doctor and got a different prescription. At this time she is still treating her thumb.

Butch and Loretta VanSelus went to Mound, Minn., to their granddaughter’s, Tammy and Jeremy Baylee, and their little son. Their little boy was baptized and Grandpa and Grandma Paula and John Powell from Montana came for the baptism. They came to Butch and Loretta’s and Sunday the VanSeluses and the Powells went to an auction by Frederic which all enjoyed. The Powells planned to leave on Tuesday, going to Mound to visit their daughter and her honey, Tammy and Jeremy Baylee and son, to spend a day or two.

Talking with Myrna Atkinson, we find this week she picked a 5-gallon pail of green beans and a big dishpan full. So she called her good friend, Karen Vanderhoof, and asked her if she would like the beans so Karen took the beans. Well, after a couple of days who should arrive with the beans canned? Myrna doesn’t can but freezes her veggies. So she gave the beans back to Myrna which was really a nice gesture. Myrna has also picked broccoli and cauliflower and this week she decided to pick her sweet corn and freeze it.

It’s quite a job, isn’t it, Myrna?

Scatter sunshine.

Have a great week.

noon and evening at Lakeview Hotel.

Jeff Pederson also attended his 40th class reunion at the community center Saturday afternoon. They had good attendance at both reunions.

Chad White and his girlfriend, along with another couple, spent the weekend in Shell Lake, visiting Jeff and Helen Pederson. They enjoyed boating on the lake.

Congratulations to Ashley Anderson and Brady Marschall who were married this last weekend. The ceremony and dinner were held at the Anderson farm out of Barronett and the dance in an old shed on the farm.

The rehearsal dinner on Friday night was at Bona Casa in Cumberland. There was a good crowd at both events in spite of the hot and humid weather.

Arlys Santiago also attended her class reunion and Friday evening was at the Potter’s Shed to hear the music by the Porch Dogs.

Happy birthday to Alice Mitchell who had a birthday on the 13th.

I’m not afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.

Washburn County centenarians recognized Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE – A century ago the world looked a lot different. According to U.S. News and World Report, in 1915 there was no minimum wage law, homeowners insurance didn’t exist yet, a regular unleaded gallon of gas was around 15 cents and a pound of steak cost about 26 cents. That was indeed a different time, but there are some that recall those days from memory, they are called centenarians.

There are eight centenarians living in Washburn County and three were present for a celebration honoring their age which was held at Glenview in Shell Lake on Monday, Aug. 10.

The centenarians honored were Bernice Palmer, Irene Glessing, Jessie Nilssen, Evelyn Petan, Lillian Worrell, Edward Durand, Hazel Nilson and Meta Johnson.

Palmer, Glessing and Nilssen were able to attend the celebration which was put on by the Washburn County aging and disability resource center. Several area individuals attended, including Julie Wilcox, Washburn County aging department, Stephanie Villella, Washburn County aging director, and Kelly Bronco, Beth Esser and Keith Trembath, Washburn County board members and aging committee members.

Bernice Palmer was born on June 2, 1915, in Barronett, where she grew up.

Palmer worked as a housekeeper for several families in Spooner. “She took driving lessons but she decided that wasn’t her thing so she walked; she walked everywhere and that’s what we give her credit to living so long,” said Claire, Bernice’s daughter. Bernice has outlived everyone she worked for. Claire said she is a very independent person and since becom-

Jessie Nilssen ing reliant on a wheel chair the last three years has been hard, but she still gets herself around.

Jessie Nilssen was born on Nov. 6, 1915, and worked as a country schoolteacher.

“I would walk out there with a lantern at 5 o’clock in the morning to start the fire in the schoolhouse. I did that for 30 years,” said Nilssen. When asked what the secret was to live so long Nilssen responded, “I have asked God that every morning, ‘Why am I living so long’ and I thought it was to make quilts for church but now I can’t see the sewing anymore so I don’t sew.”

Irene Glessing was born on Nov. 17, 1915, and was active in 4-H with her children. Four-H projects she worked in were gardening, sewing and baking. She said

Irene Glessing the best inventions were the electric stove and clothes dryer.

Special recognition Each centenarian received a certificate, a letter from Washburn County Board Chair Steven Sather, picked out a rose and enjoyed cake with those assembled.

“I think all three of these ladies have shown us all how important hard work is for many years and the importance of family, of taking care of others and I think that is sewn through all of their lives,” said Esser.

Centenarians that were unable to attend were Evelyn Petan, born Feb. 27, 1915, Lillian Worrell, born April 17, 1915, Edward Durand, born Dec. 22, 1915, and Hazel Nilson, who turns 107 Aug. 21 and was born in 1908. Nilson, who spoke with

Bernice Palmer Villella over the phone because she was unable to attend, says to “keep walking and thinking.” Meta Johnson, born on April 19, 1916, who has been active in the Spooner Women’s Club for over 50, years was also recognized.

Statistically about 85 percent of those 100 or over are female, due to the delay for women in developing stroke and heart attack problems. According to the U.S. Census Bureau the centenarian population has grown 65.8 percent over the last three decades; that’s 21,170 more people living to be 100 years old since 1980. Globally the 100-plus population has nearly doubled every decade since the 1950s and a third of those born today are expected to reach the age of 100.

Out and about town For the price of a nickel, this old RockOla jukebox will play the songs that were once popular so many years ago. Songs from “Mockin’ Bird Hill” by Patti Page to “Beer Barrel Polka” by the Andrews Sisters will take you back in time. The music is played on records, or platters, and the operation is visible.

A working jukebox in the Scoop and Brew Ice Cream Shop in Shell Lake can take you back to the music of 1950s.

The jukebox is just part of the atmosphere that makes stopping for an old-fashioned ice-cream cone a special treat.

Time is limited as the shop plans to close after Labor Day due to the construction on Hwy. 63.
