U.S. flag retirement ceremony part of Eagle project
COON RAPIDS, Minn. — Eagle Scout candidate Peter Romens organized a U.S. flag retirement program for his Eagle Scout Project. Romens belongs to Troop 524, which is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus out of Epiphany Catholic Church in Coon Rapids, Minn. Elmer Anderson, Shell Lake, on behalf of VFW Post 9867 and American Legion Post 225, donated most of the United States flags used in the ceremony. Anderson collects the flags deposited in the collection box next the Shell Lake Public Library/City Hall building. Romens organized and supervised the retirement of 45 U.S. flags in the ceremony held Saturday, Aug. 2.

and Cribbage, family-fun night, crosscut chain-saw contest and the Miss Shell Lake pageant. “There is no point in having a pageant if we don’t have enough interest,” said Melissa Denotter. Denotter had decided to step down from being the pageant adviser this year and was in the process of finding her successor when only two girls showed interest in competing in this year’s pageant, “and they were not the correct age to be selected the next Miss Shell Lake,” she added. Because they did not have enough entrants to make a full court or pageant, the girls that had showed interest decided against participating altogether. “I went back to the chamber and we made the decision at that point that the chamber was going to cancel this pageant this year, but we didn’t make a decision yet as to the future,” said Denotter. The current Miss Shell Lake court has been offered the option to continue on in their positions as Shell Lake royalty for the next year. The Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce will be looking at the sustainability of the pageant into the future. The next open meeting of the chamber will take place on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 5 p.m.

It is the noise and the smoke, that is what draws the people,” said Deb Allen. Allen and her sister, Tammy Fulton, have been co-chairs of the festival for the past six years. Since stepping into the positions they have both seen a decreased interest in several of the events. Last year the committee worked to maintain most of the events, but this year some hard decisions were made to cut back because they all felt they were spread too thin. “I think we got too many events, we had so much stuff and there are only so many things people can go to,” said Jack Harrington. Last year Harrington had decided he would step down from his committee chair position but came back this year to help organize and manage the tractor pull.

Deployment/from page 1 that is what we do, we train for our job,” said 1st Lt. Jess Maney. Maney, also the company’s executive officer and a 14-year Guardsman, is confident in his company, citing their two-year intensive training. The WDMA states that approximately 95 individuals from the Superior-based company and its Spooner detachment will be deployed. “A route clearance company goes out and finds the IEDs. Our job is to clear the route before anybody else goes out on it,” explained Maney. IEDs, or improvised explosive devices, are made with common chemicals and can be planted in a matter of minutes along key supply routes, posing a threat to military personnel utilizing those routes. The unit will be deployed to eastern Afghanistan to aid in the transition from Operation Enduring Freedom to the NATO-led Operation Resolute Support. The main objective in the support mission is to train, advise and assist Afghan forces after the completion of the 2014 troop drawdown. “Since now we are closing down and slowly pulling out of Afghanistan there are a lot of units on the roads carrying supplies across from post to post or base
to base so you still need route clearance to lead them to make sure the roads are clear,” explained Maney. This is the unit’s first deployment to Afghanistan but it was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and 2010. While deployed they will utilize a variety of mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles outfitted with specialized equipment to find and remove IEDs. The WDMA states that this work is critical to U.S. efforts to move troops and equipment out of Afghanistan. “There are a few guys in the company that have been hit by IEDs many times,” acknowledged Maney. Maney credits the equipment with preserving their safety, having himself been in three IED explosions. Some members of the company have even received the Order of the Purple Heart for injuries suffered in service. “I have been with a lot of units and I would say this is one of the best I have ever seen,” said Maney. As a normal active-duty deployment the company will be in service for nine to 12 months with the exact date of their departure yet to be released. A send-off ceremony for the unit is being planned by the Wisconsin National Guard with a date to be announced as the unit’s deployment draws nearer.
The company will use vehicles like this Buffalo mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle to maintain the safety of supply routes in Afghanistan.

Letters to the editor It is your civic duty to vote Nearly 6,000 people exercised their civic duty to vote and to be active participants in our government during the primary election for the 75th Assembly District. These people shaped the political, social, educational and economic future of the 75th District. I would like to thank everyone who voted in the election. Gratitude is extended to the 68 percent who voted for me, Romaine Robert Quinn. My opponent, Ken Mandley, called to congratulate me and to offer his support during the remaining election cycle. Mandley was a worthy opponent. The Republican Party and I look forward to the involvement of Mandley and his wife, Connie, at the local level. Their dedication to conservative issues will benefit conser-
vative efforts. During the campaign, many constituents identified specific actions I had taken as mayor of Rice Lake, which made them confident that I am a candidate who will put the welfare of the 75th District above my own political future. They are correct. Stopping federal overreach at the local governmental level and in our educational system is becoming one of the most demanding and important responsibilities of conservative candidates. At every level, the federal government is doing more and more to take dollars from our community and to give those dollars to others who the federal government believes deserve the fruits of our labor. With the growth of federal overreach,
conservatives have been taking opportunities to define who and what conservatism represents. True conservatives believe that the freedoms of every citizen granted under the U.S. Constitution must be protected above all else. Conservatives believe in the rule of law, limited government, the value and sanctity of life, and the Judeo-Christian values that created the freest, most productive, most generous, wealthiest nation on Earth. History teaches that secular governments are typically the most violent against their own citizens. Poverty, despair and a poor quality of life are the products of secular governments. This November the voters will decide whether the freest nation on Earth, Amer-
ica, will continue to be transformed. Currently, under the U.S. Constitution, this decision is in your hands. To protect our right to govern ourselves, everyone must exercise his civic duty; everyone must encourage friends, family and neighbors to become involved. Everyone must vote. We must all ask ourselves, “Who will do the most to preserve those traditions and political philosophies that made America the light on the hill for so many?” I hope your answer to that question for the 75th District Assembly is: Romaine Robert Quinn. Romaine Robert Quinn 75th Assembly District Candidate

Garden club’s annual fall plant sale to be held in Centennial Park SPOONER — A great growing season has made for especially lush plants this year, and fall is a great time for transplanting plants and getting a head start on next year’s season. A broad variety of beautiful perennials for sunny and shady spots, some herbs and more will be waiting to grace homes and businesses during the Spooner Garden Club’s annual fall plant sale on Saturday, Aug. 23, in a new location, Centennial Park in downtown Spooner. The hundreds of plants are from the
garden club members’ own gardens. The twice-annual sale, one is held the first Saturday in June and one the last Saturday in August, is renowned for having plants that are hardy and thrive in the local area, the club said. The sale will be held from 9 a.m. until sold out, which is usually quickly, at Centennial Park where the garden is downtown at River Street/Hwy. 63 and Walnut Street. Since 1932, the garden club members have enjoyed gardening together, learn-
ing from each other’s experiences and other gardeners, and working on civic gardening projects. The club’s usual meeting date is the fourth Thursday of the month at 1 p.m. The plant sale proceeds help the club fund annual scholarships for Spooner and Shell Lake students, the gardens the club created and maintains at Northern Wisconsin Memorial Veterans Cemetery and in Spooner’s Centennial Park, Triangle Park, city hall and Spooner Memorial Library. The club also co-hosts the annual
New Ventures Garden Seminar on the third Saturday in March at Northwood School. The club is in need of the pots that are 5 inches wide by 5 to 7 inches deep. Donations of those pots would be welcome, the club said. More information is available by contacting Jan, janupnorth@gmail.com. — from SGC
Celebrating the Shell Lake boat building heritage
Former Shell Lake Boat employees Elmer Anderson, Cy Atkinson and Bob Washkuhn attended the open house of the Shell Lake Boat and Peterson Boat display held Saturday, Aug. 16, at the Washburn County Historical Museum.

Observe National Sickle Cell Awareness Month this September
Help maintain a diverse blood supply to meet the needs of all patients
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to help ensure a stable and diverse blood supply by giving blood in honor of National Sickle Cell Awareness Month this September. Sickle cell disease is an inherited disease that causes red blood cells to form an abnormal crescent shape. It is estimated that sickle cell disease affects as many as 100,000 people in the U.S. Many of these patients face a lifetime of blood transfusions to help reduce the risk of stroke, damage to major organs and other com-
plications that can arise as a result of sickle cell disease. Since blood from donors of the same ethnic background as the recipient is less likely to cause complications, the Red Cross must maintain a diverse blood supply. This is particularly important for patients like those with sickle cell disease who may require regular blood transfusions.
Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Barron County Tuesday, Sept. 2, from noon to 6 p.m., at American Legion, 1220 Veterans Drive, Cumberland Wednesday, Sept. 3, from 1 to 6 p.m., at Parkview United Methodist Church, 234 N. Maple, Turtle Lake Tuesday, Sept. 9, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.,

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age, 16 with parental consent in some states, weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. - from the Red Cross
Area news at a glance RURAL LUCK — Twelve-year-old Rory Kliewer, Minneapolis, was attacked by an otter while swimming in Polk County’s Bone Lake about noon on Saturday, Aug. 9. Rory was climbing up a ladder on a dock and was partly out of the water when the otter attacked her from behind. The otter had climbed onto her back and was biting and clawing her head. Rory said, “I thought a northern or a turtle was after me. When I hit it with my arm I could see that it was an otter. It was hissing, scratching and biting me. It smelled terrible. I was afraid it was going to pull me underwater.” Thankfully Rory, not being a confident swimmer, was wearing a life jacket. The life jacket probably prevented additional injuries. Emergency room staff at the Amery hospital treated Rory for potential infections at the wound sites and started her on a series of injections for rabies just to be safe. She suffered cuts, scratches, bites and bruising over large parts of her body. This was Rory’s first visit to Bone Lake. She said, “I’m going to stick to a swimming pool for a while and I don’t want to see any otters again!” — from the Inter-County Leader ••• CAMERON — Electrical problems have further delayed the opening of the splash pad recreation area at Cameron’s Guy Speirs Park. Randy Hill, who chairs the
parks committee, told the village board that the splash pad was nearly ready to open when builders were unable to find the electrical line needed to ground the splash pad to prevent stray voltage problems at the facility. Hill said the line had been installed, but when workers went to connect it they couldn’t find it. He said it may be beneath some fill that was placed or someone removed it. He said there had been a theft of copper wire that had been left at the pump house, which is part of the new facility. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• MADISON — State Superintendent Tony Evers announced grant awards to support 51 charter schools for the 201415 school year.

A crossbow deer-hunting license is available for any qualified hunter to purchase – this will be the first time many Wisconsin deer hunters will have the opportunity to hunt with a crossbow. Previously, only holders of permits for hunters with disabilities and hunters age 65 or older could use a crossbow under the authority of an archer license. The crossbow deerhunting season will run concurrent with the archery season. During open firearm seasons, a gun deer license will authorize bow and crossbow use. Crossbow licenses include one statewide buck tag and one Farmland Zone antlerless tag. It is important to note that those who purchase both an archer license and a crossbow license will receive only one set of tags. Hunters are encouraged to check out the

Good Times Tuesday held the fourth Tuesday of each month SPOONER — Have you ever been bored and looking for something to do, but couldn’t find anything? Enter Good Times Tuesday, a program of Faith In Action. Good Times Tuesday provides a place, the Veterans Hall that is the old American Legion Hall on Hwy. 70 in Spooner, and a band, in this case local entertainer Joe Weiss, and even some light refreshments. You won’t have to listen to a sermon or sales pitch, just find a place to sit and mingle, listen to the music or even take a turn on the dance floor if you feel inclined. This event is held every fourth Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. August’s Good Times Tuesday will be held on Aug. 26 and promises to be a ton of fun. Admission is always free as are
the refreshments. Weiss is a local entertainer of considerable talent. You may have caught him playing his guitar and singing in his inimitable bass voice in various places around the area. He plays gospel and country western and is sure to give your heart a lift. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Weiss’s vocals in a live intimate setting. It is hoped to keep Good Times Tuesday going through the winter months if there is enough good response. They are always looking for new acts, not entirely limited to musicians.

Washburn County accident report Wednesday, July 30 At approximately 5:45 p.m., Washburn County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Bartholomew was called to Lakeside Road and Stoney Brook Trail in the city of Minong to a report of an ATV accident. Bartholomew reached the accident scene approximately three miles down the trail where Brian Ventsch, 36, Zimmerman, Minn., stated he had been thrown from his machine after coming around the corner in the trail. Ventsch refused medical treatment but was given several field sobriety tests after smelling like intoxicants. Bartholomew determined he could not arrest Ventsch for OWI. The ATV, a Can Am Outlander, received slight damage to
the plastic on the left rear. The ATV was parked, and Ventsch rode in a UTV for the remainder of his trail ride. Tuesday, Aug. 5 At approximately 11:40 p.m., Erin Haime, 24, Minong, was eastbound on CTH A in the Town of Evergreen, one-half mile from Jellen Road. Haime, driving a 1999 Chevrolet S10 pickup, went off the shoulder, across the centerline, overcorrected and went into the ditch where the vehicle overturned. Haime suffered cuts on her elbow but no serious injuries. The vehicle sustained very severe damage and was towed from the scene. Haime stated she had been drinking that night and underwent a series of sobriety tests. A
PBT test result came back at .22 percent and a BAC test result of .18 percent at which time she was arrested for OWI. Sunday, Aug. 10 At approximately 9:05 a.m., Kathleen Schwab, 63, Spooner, was eastbound on Hwy. 70, 500 feet from Tozer Lake Road in the Town of Evergreen, when the front tire strut and ball joint gave way. The vehicle, a 1991 Chevrolet G20, skidded 50 feet before going off the roadway and into the Yellow River. Schwab and her passenger, Leatrice Ferrell, 92, Trego, were not injured and denied medical assistance. Ferrell was later convinced to be taken to the Spooner emergency room by her son due to her age. The vehicle sustained severe damage and was towed
from the scene. Sunday, Aug. 10 At approximately 9:07 p.m., Peter Riegler, 43, Brooklyn Park, Minn., was eastbound on Hwy. 70 in the Town of Bashaw when he hit a deer. His vehicle, a 2013 Dodge, sustained minor damage to the front and front driver side. Monday, Aug. 11 At approximately 8:50 p.m., Adam Kocha, 22, Hayward, was northbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Trego when he hit a deer. His 2010 Dodge Avenger sustained moderate damage to the front, front passenger side and front driver side. The vehicle was towed from the scene. — Danielle Moe with information from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office

Recycle, reuse or repurpose
W
hat would your reaction be if your daughter in first grade cried because you had thrown something in the garbage rather than recycling the item? This situation happened to my cousin, Lisa. Several years ago, her daughter, Elizabeth, had quite the reaction to Lisa tossing an item into the garbage without thinking about recycling. Lisa commented, “She was quite upset at the time to think that her parents weren’t doing their part.” For many of us today, recycling comes naturally. We separate out paper, glass, plastic and aluminum from other trash. When you think about it, recycling, reusing and repurposing aren’t new concepts. Milk and soda pop used to come in glass containers that were returned and used again. Plastic containers that whipped topping, cottage cheese and other dairy products come in are reused as storage containers for leftovers or odds and ends.
According to the manufacturer, the carpet in my living room is made out of recycled milk jugs. No, I don’t feel like I am walking on plastic while being barefoot in that room. I’m sure other fibers have been included. Artists have been repurposing other people’s castoffs. Rather than tossing old implements and discarded tools, I have seen old shovels become perching birds on fence posts, as well as tractor seats being used as outdoor furniture. While visiting our friends Ralph and Betty, in Wilmington, N.C., we toured the Airlie Gardens. In 2004, artist Virginia Wright-Frieson used bottles of all shapes and sizes, along with cement and chicken wire, to create the Airlie

Gardens Bottle House in the butterfly garden. The bottle house, also referred to as the chapel, was officially named the Minnie Evans Sculpture Garden Bottle House after an artist/gatekeeper who had worked at Airlie Gardens for many years. At the
center of the house is a tree sculpture complete with birds and nests. Before making purchases, some of us may consider the future of the item. Is it something that can be recycled or reused?
Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner The sunflower quilt Mary B. Olsen ears ago, children were taught the social graces by their elders in the home. Boys were expected to pursue masculine activities. Girls learned things within their sphere. These old-fashioned ideas were already disappearing when I was a child. My mother was taught by her mother to sew and embroider, and almost all girls learned tasks necessary to take care of a household. I learned by following my mother around the house and helping her. Sometimes I made her work harder, I suppose, but I thought I was her helper. My mother was an expert at sewing. She made clothes for us children and through the years for grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A new baby on the way? Great news. A reason for her to get at her knitting and crocheting work to produce warm sweaters and bonnets and booties. My mother had a sewing machine that whirred as she constructed dresses and play clothes, almost everything we wore. She made beautiful things for our home, as well. By the time I was in first-year high
Y
school, most of the girls did not know how to sew. I was never good at it, but I had some background in it. We were taught sewing and cooking in what was called home economics. The very first day of the class it was obvious that out of 20 girls, there were only two girls who could sew. I was not one of them. Mrs. Crider explained to us that our cooking meant that for the first semester we would be preparing salads and other items for the school lunch period. We would learn to prepare breakfasts the second semester. When we were not in the lunchroom we would work on sewing projects. That is how it went for the year. When Mrs. Crider was in our classroom she helped the two sewers make dresses and skirts and pretty blouses. The rest of us fumbled along with trying to make a skirt and blouse from a pattern. At the beginning of the semester she told us we were required to have a project we could do at home. We could choose anything at all, as long as it involved some kind of handwork. She would make a home visit to each of our homes to see the completed project. At home, I told my mother about it. We discussed the kinds of things I could sew and what would be best for me to

learn. We decided we would make a quilt. I was excited about it. This would be something that would last a long time and my mother and I could work on it together. We went through magazines and looked at material. We found fabric for the backing. We bought white for the blocks and some green and yellow. We were going to make a sunflower quilt. It would require cutting and measuring, learning to applique — a way of overlaying a design on fabric, and many other kinds of needlework, by machine, and then quilting by hand, and binding to complete the quilt. We already had our white blocks made when I got back to school. “Has anyone chosen a home project?” Mrs. Crider asked. “I am going to make a quilt. A sunflower quilt!” I declared. She glared at me. “You cannot make a quilt. That is just doing the same thing over and over. You must make something that requires the use of a pattern and you must learn to use a sewing machine. Quilts are just a way to use old fabric.” I went home devastated. My mother couldn’t believe what the teacher had said. I was in tears. We had the material and the vision. Mother tried to console me. “We will make the quilt anyway. You can make something else to show her on the home visit. We will begin cutting out the sunflower leaves right after supper.” I recovered from my disappointment and we got busy and worked on it al-

most every evening. We had a wonderful time getting our bright sunflowers on fabric and seeing our sunflower quilt blossom. My dad made us a frame and we attached our quilt to it. Every evening we would set it up and sit in the living room at work. When we were finished each evening, we set the frame against the wall, out of the way. We might listen to the radio while we handquilted our sunflowers, and be with the family. It was pleasant to do. Before we knew it, we had it off the frame and the edges bound. Our finished project was truly beautiful. I knew I couldn’t have done it without my mother’s help, but I was proud of it. One day in the spring my teacher came for the home visit. She was seated at the kitchen table with my mother. There were cookies and lemonade Mother had made for the occasion. In a few moments, she got up and said goodbye. She was out the door before I realized she had said nothing about seeing my project. I did not wish to show her our sunflower quilt, anyway. I put that quilt in my hope chest. This is something kind of old-fashioned, too. My sister and I handmade pretty things for the future when we would have homes of our own. We made embroidered pillowcases and doilies, and other dainty things. I don’t think any of my later creations gave me as much pleasure as that first project I shared with my mother. I used that quilt for my family for many years until it was worn out.

The board approved the hiring of Kirsten Pabst as the new computer tech, Sharon Ricci as a third-grade teacher, Lana Balts as a grades 3-6 support and dual guidance counsel secretary for grades 7-12. Anna Walther was also approved for hire as the middle school volleyball coach and Kelsie Seibel as a long-term substitute science teacher. The board also approved second readings of four different district policies, including tobacco-free environment, one-to-one technology program acceptable use, policy making and review, and student alcohol and other drug use. The school board has been in the process of reviewing and updating old policies for over a year. The full story of the Shell Lake School Board meeting will be available on the Register’s website at wcregisteronline. com.
Danielle H. Moe |Staff writer SHELL LAKE- Members of the Shell Lake School Board took a buildings and grounds tour before approving a number of new district staff positions during their regular monthly meeting on Monday, Aug. 18. Tim Ullom, maintenance supervisor, spoke to school board members about the many projects the maintenance department has completed in the past year and showed them the results. Nine projects have been completed in 2014 on top of the regular tasks the maintenance department handles. Among those projects are a new PA system installed in the 3-12 grade building that now includes a panic button in the school office in case of an emergency. The board also looked at deteriorating concrete at the entrance of the school. Ullom asked the board for direction on patching and replacing portions of the concrete. The board also went to the bus garage and looked over new concrete work at the entrance of the bus garage, how the sewer line was dug up and insulated and checked out a new school bus.

Shell Lake Lions end of summer celebration set
Collectibles sale set at railroad museum
The whitefish for the Lions fish fry on Friday, Aug. 29, will be caught that day in Cornucopia on the shore of Lake Superior. — Photos submitted
SPOONER — Railroad Memories Museum in Spooner will hold a special railroad memorabilia sale fundraiser on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., during the museum’s regular hours. Tables of collectible pieces of railroading’s past, history items, model trains and accessories, books, train videos, souvenirs, toys and even some duplicate donations to the museum will be for sale that day. Please note that none of the museum’s permanent collection will be sold. A number of table spaces have already been rented, but anyone having railroadrelated items to sell can still take part. Among those expected to be selling are John Oscar, Spooner, who makes trees to use with model railroads; Bob and Betty Jo Brown, who will sell railroad items from their personal collection; a collector of railroad memorabilia from southern Wisconsin; Katy King and Evelyn Safeblade, local authors. To sign up as a vendor at the sale, please call Brown at 715-635-2752 or the museum at 715-635-3325. Vendors can rent a space or a space and an 8-foot table. A Super Hot Dog and Brat Feed will also be held that day on the museum grounds. Many experts around town have declared RRMM’s brats to be the best. Sale day will be a great time for all railroading history fans to get together at Railroad Memories Museum, a time for reminiscing, swapping stories and sharing pictures. Anyone who has items to donate to the museum, something to be displayed there, is encouraged to bring it in that same day as well. Railroad buffs of all ages are particularly encouraged to stop by, shop at the sale on Aug. 23, and tour the museum. Also, membership information will be available for those who would like to become supporters of the museum’s present activities and future plans.
One of the museum’s main interests at present is the purchase and renovation of an old railroad caboose. Another major project is an extensive renovation of the electrical wiring in the old depot. Much of the existing wiring is the original, from the early 1900s, and very much in need of replacement. Anyone wishing to contribute to these projects can also send a donation to Railroad Memories Museum, P.O. Box 717, Spooner, WI 54801. Checks should be made out to Railroad Memories Museum. Donors can specify which of the two projects, caboose or electrical, they prefer to support. — from RMM
A pocket-sized lantern, a railroad man’s watch, and collectible pins are among the memorabilia for sale Aug. 23 at Spooner’s Railroad Memories Museum.

participant that sums the success of the event up nicely: “I want to thank you and your fellow Lions for the fantastic Shell Lake Triathlon event. “I have competed in six other triathlons and this was by far the best and most enjoyable one for me. What made it so special were all the friendly Lions before, during and after the race. You could literally feel the sense of community pride and engagement your organization has. It was not just volunteers telling us where to turn on the course, but great citizens who are making a difference. “Since the event, I have told all my fellow triathletes this is a great event and they need to do it with me next year. I’m even recruiting friends who have never done one before to make this their first event. I can’t imagine a more friendly and comfortable race to start with. “I appreciate all the effort the Lions put into making this a special day. I know these events don’t just happen and takes hard hours of typically thankless work. “Please pass my thanks to all those involved. Don Theisen, Forest Lake, Minn.” Thank you for the kind words, Don. We look forward to serving you and your friends at next year’s event; we also look forward to another year of serving the people of the greater Shell Lake area.

Shell Lake’s end of summer celebration, Labor Day weekend’s Town and Country Days, will kick off Friday evening, Aug. 29, with the Lions Club annual fish fry at the community center. As in years past, the club will serve fresh Lake Superior whitefish as the main course. These fish were literally swimming in the biggest lake in the world the morning of Aug. 29 and will be served to you that afternoon from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Halverson Fisheries, a decades-old family-run business located in Cornucopia on the shore of Lake Superior, will be providing the fish. Besides deep-fried whitefish, this allyou-care-to-eat dinner also features baby red potatoes, coleslaw and Bill’s Famous Fry Bread along with dessert and a beverage. As always, the proceeds are used to improve the quality of people’s lives. Some of the recipients of the money generated by club activities include the American Cancer Society, the Lions Eye Bank, Washburn County Christmas Fund for disadvantaged families during the holiday season, victims of house fires and scholarships for graduating seniors from the Shell Lake High School. Other projects, such as the hanging flower baskets that decorate the city or the Christmas lights in the campground, are simply designed to beautify the city for the enjoyment of all. Additionally, last year the club also sponsored a health fair, a vision screening project and the bloodmobile. The club’s annual Mission to Mexico and donations to the Haiti child effort as well as the contributions to the Wisconsin Lions Foundation were also dollars well spent. Other Lions fundraisers are continuing through the summer also. This includes the gun raffle. Featuring three Henry rifles, which are basically works of art made in Rice Lake, it’s already grossed over $6,000. Tickets for this fundraiser are available at Shell Lake Marine until the drawing on the evening of Aug. 29 after the fish fry. ••• Lions Club calendars for 2015 will also be available soon. This is the club’s biggest fundraiser and we encourage everyone to buy a calendar to support the club and the work they do. This year only 750 calendars will be printed, less than last year, and while the calendar price has been raised to $30, the daily payout, in addition to the $2,500 grand prize and $300 monthly prizes, is increasing to $35. ••• Lastly, the Lions biggest event of the summer thus far was the Shell Lake Triathlon held last month. The profitable event brought many new visitors to the area and a letter of appreciation from a

Volunteers rebuild Tiptown field
Nine volunteers gave up their busy Saturday to build the new dugouts at the Tiptown field. Shown (L to R): Sam Muska, Steve Flach, Andy Johnson, Dave McNulty, Mark Schultz, Sawyer Schultz, Jerry Egbert, Jayme Lucas and Mark Fritz. Shell Lake High School student Sam Muska and Shell Lake parent Dave McNulty working to lay out the visitor’s dugout. The reason for volunteering varies with each volunteer, some had children playing, others wish to pay back to the community, while all agreed it was for the children.

Mark Fritz marks posts as the crew of volunteers lay out the two dugouts that they are building. The money used to make the improvements came from a Minnesota Twins grant and a generous donation from the Spooner Lamperts Lumberyard.
The experienced construction workers volunteering their time and labor made short work of the fully enclosed dugouts.

Sue Plankis, paddling a birch-bark canoe, is demonstrating the Canadian style of paddling. By kneeling off to one side of the canoe and tipping the canoe off center, she has better control and is able to turn the canoe in sharp turns. Ferdy Goode, an Abor Vitae artist and craftsman, made the birch-bark canoe Plankis was using. He has made 71 canoes of this type since he made his first one in 1979.

Sunday, August 24, 2014 Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost eelings of being abandoned and forsaken are, perF haps, among the most painful feelings of life. In desperation we cry for someone or anyone to come to our
rescue. Tragedy strikes, hopes are dashed, one whom we deeply loved and have spent our lives with is suddenly taken from us. And there we are: alone. Our cries go unheard, and it seems as though the heavens above have turned to brass and the clouds have become marble. So, we cry out in fear and frustration for our God. But he does not answer. He’s not available. Jesus knew those feelings. As life was ebbing from his body he cried out, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” David and Jesus felt abandoned, indeed were abandoned, by those who were their closest friends. They had invested time in training them, being open and honest with them in sharing the ups and downs of life and had come to believe in and trust them. And then in their darkest moments they felt the pain of desertion and the fear of being alone. But they would not give up on God! The lamp of faith may have been dimmed by God’s silence, but it had not been extinguished by life’s tragedies. Both confessed that he is still “My God!” God never promised that if we believed in him our lives would be free from the fear of isolation or loneliness. He did, however, promise to be with us in our darkest moments. He did not promise to take us around the dark valleys of life, but through them. Visit us at SowerMinstries.org

A Ghost Walk: Memories of the past
Deke Slayton, played by Stephen Smith; and Ruth Beers, played by Nancy Rich, recounted their memories as an astronaut and farmer’s wife. Slayton was one of the original astronauts and was born in Sparta. He brought his Wisconsin farm values of hard work and tenacity to the space program. Beers, along with her husband, was a Bashaw Valley farmer known for her friendly disposition and generosity.
Jack Starr played Shell Lake resident Paul Stone (1926-2006). Stone was blind, and a singer of gospel music that he used to entertain and spread the word of God.
The Washburn County Historical Society held their annual “Ghost Visit” on Monday, Aug. 11, at the pavilion at the Shell Lake Municipal Park. The re-enactors are shown (L to R): Ernie Buhler, who played Rear Adm. Eugene Hering; state Assemblyman Stephen Smith, Deke Slayton; Larry Samson, Spooner Mayor Ed Omernik; Jennifer Edlin; Alice Omernik; the Rev. Jack Starr, Paul Stone; Nancy Rich, Ruth Beers; and June Willis, who played Pat Smith, Shell Lake mayor and state assemblywoman.

Barronett
by Judy Pieper
Well, the outdoor worship service at Barronett Lutheran was held indoors this year. The weather looked so threatening that we decided it might be a good idea to stay in the church where it was warm and dry. The rain did hold off until afternoon, but we were more comfortable inside the church anyway. We still had the potluck brunch after service, and we all enjoyed that. Especially me. After we ate, I went into the kitchen to help clean up, and Boyd Aarestad told me to get out, sit down, and relax and enjoy myself. I didn’t argue too much. It just felt nice to relax and not feel a bit guilty about it. We were very happy to welcome visitors from Washington state to our church Sunday morning. Vern and Lynn Norton joined us for worship service and brunch. They were in the area for a family reunion, which was held on Saturday at Judy Norton’s home. They also celebrated Ruth Schultz’s 90th birthday while they were here. All three of the remaining Norton siblings, Vern, Ruth, and Louise Rogaczewski, were at the reunion, along with in-laws, nieces, nephews and grandchildren. There were guests from Washington, Texas, Virginia, Illinois and, of course, Wisconsin. Lynn said that Judy is a wonderful hostess, made everyone feel right at home, and everyone had a great time. Shirley Overvig hosted a birthday party at her home for Ruth Grover on Wednesday, Aug. 13. Guests were Geri Pittman, Dorothy Orth, Bonnie Fogelberg, Tru Lehmann and I. The guest of honor arrived wearing a beautiful tiara, which was pretty appropriate since she was the queen for the day. Shirley had lots of excellent food, Barbie and Ken dolls for the youngest guest to play with, and a delicious birthday cake. We all had a really great time celebrating Ruth’s birthday with her. Pat and Doug Sweet attended Doug’s 58th class reunion on Thursday at the Corner Bar in Cumberland. It was just a small gathering, 15 people, and everyone had a good time catching up on all the news. On Saturday, Pat and Doug went to a birthday party for 3-year-old Alivia Johnson, Pat’s great-niece. Alivia’s mom, Jane, hosted the party and there was lots of food, cake and fun for everyone. Pat forgot to tell us one bit of family news. Doug’s brother and sister-in-law, Gordon and Monica Sweet, were visiting from Georgia last month. They stayed for a week and Pat and Doug enjoyed the visit very much. Duane and I went to Great Lakes Naval Station on Friday for boot camp graduation. Duane’s granddaughter, Janelle, was supposed to be one of the graduates, but she couldn’t pass the swimming test and so was not allowed to graduate with her class. She must have taken lessons from her grandpa, because he swims like a rock. In fact, he graduated from the same boot camp 59 years ago, and they finally just gave up and told him he could go on to his next assignment without passing. We drove down on Thursday evening, and I asked Duane if he thought we should call ahead for a hotel room. He assured me that we would be able to find one after we got there. Well, the first two we checked on were full. I was really tired, it’s about 375 miles down there. I had visions of us sleeping in the car. But, the third hotel had a room so we were able to sleep in a real bed and shower before we left for the graduation. The people on the Navy base are pretty security oriented, and there were lots of checks before we were finally allowed on the base. We parked the car, and walked to the building that the graduation was going to be held in. While we were waiting in line to go in, a young man came out and told us that he would be randomly selecting several people for extra questioning for security purposes. The lady standing behind us jokingly said to Duane, “You look suspicious.” We laughed, and wouldn’t you know, the last person selected was Duane. They told me that I would be able to join him again inside the building. OK, I get in there and they ask me what division Janelle is in. What? I have no idea. I wrote to her, but I never memorized the address. I told the nice young man that I didn’t know, but that the gate pass was in the car and I could go back out to get it if he needed me to. He assured me that it would be OK, and he started going through the list of graduates one at a time looking for Janelle’s
name. He couldn’t find it. Again I told him that I could go to the car and get the gate pass, and again he assured me that it would be OK. Good thing Duane was not with me and he had the car keys, I couldn’t have got into the car if I wanted to. Anyway, Duane finally joined me, and the young man still couldn’t find the name. So they sent to us to another desk with a computer. There we were finally informed that Janelle didn’t pass because of the swimming test. Wow. Well, it was a nice drive anyway. We weren’t even able to call or visit Janelle because she is still in boot camp. I asked if she would have any leave time after she finally passes the swim test, but was told that she will go directly to her next assignment. We were really hoping to be able to bring her home with us so she could meet some of her relatives here. On the way home we stopped at Madison Pre-Hung Door and visited with Jim Copus and Butch Adams. Butch had been very sick this past winter - fighting cancer - but he is looking great. He is hoping to come up for Garett and Kandice’s wedding this weekend. The Town of Lakeland meeting was held last Monday evening. There really isn’t a lot going on in our little township, but the conversations in the parking lot after the meetings are usually very interesting. Tonja Metnik was there, and she told us about an incident at work last week. Tonja has a beautiful new truck, and when she drove it into the parking lot at the ECU it was pouring down rain. She grabbed her paperwork, jumped out of the truck, pushed the lock button, slammed the door, and rushed up to the ECU. Got into work at about 7:30 a.m. She was busy all morning, didn’t have time to think about anything except the work she was doing. Lori Sutherland came in from a break at about 10 a.m. and asked Tonja if she knew that her truck was running. This is about 2-1/2 hours after she parked it, mind you. Yipes! The truck is running and the door is locked. Tonja did what anyone would in that situation. She called hubby, Bill, to see if he could run home and get the extra key. He told her that he was in the middle of something at work and wouldn’t be able to leave right away. OK, she thought maybe Lauralye might be able to bring the extra key in. While she was ringing Lauralye, another staff member came by and mentioned that she (the staff member) never had to worry about being locked out because she had a keypad on the door of her vehicle. Keypad! Tonja remembered that she also has a keypad on her new truck, and she even remembered the combination. Just then Lauralye answered the phone, and Tonja told her what was going on, but that the problem was now solved. She hung up from Lauralye, and Bill called to remind her that she had a keypad. Needless to say, after she stopped laughing about what a dumb thing she had done, she opened the door, turned off the truck, and put the key in a safe place. Actually, she hasn’t quite quit laughing about it yet. I bet she won’t be locked out again though. The family and friends reunion at the Wiesner Community Chapel, which was held on Sunday afternoon, was a lot of fun again this year. The attendance was down a little bit, but the food was delicious and the auction was an absolute stitch. Terry Wiesner acted as auctioneer again this year, and he squeezed every penny that he could out of every bidder. Tim and Jim Albee cooked chicken on Tim’s big outdoor grill, and everyone enjoyed that a lot. Tonja asked me to remind you that the reunion is held every year on the third Sunday in August. And, if you’re not a family member, don’t worry about it. Everyone who shows up becomes an instant friend. I’ll remind you about it the first week of August next year. Don, Anitia, Gary, Cheryl and Craig Lehmann, and Duane and I got a lot of exercise on Sunday night rounding up wayward heifers at the Lehmann farm. We had a lot of help (?) from Rusty, the trusty cow dog, who thinks that the way to herd cows is to snap at their faces instead of their back feet. I’m surprised he survived. I thought that if the heifers didn’t get him one of the guys would shoot him. Anyway, after a lot of coaxing and some colorful language, we got the ornery critters back in the right pasture. Ah, the joys of being friends of farmers. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. See you next time.

We had a stretch of nice sunny days with favorable temps this past week. Not the heat and humidity that August often offers. The farm got the third-crop alfalfa chopped and in the bunkers. The weekend brought some sprinkles here, overcast and rather on the cool side. It was only 59 degrees Sunday morning. Alan and Charlotte Ross enjoyed cousins Dave and Kathy Carter from Beloit on the weekend. They took in the Great Lakes Wooden Canoe Heritage’s Assembly on the shores of Shell Lake with a wooden boat show, demonstrations and vendors that Dick and Charlotte Shover took part in. Then the Rosses and their company toured the Washburn County Historical Society Museum. Saturday night they went to the dinner train out of Spooner so they had a great weekend together. Rocky Furchtenicht and Elaine Ryan attended Farm Tech Days on Wednesday by Stevens Point. Mavis Schlapper visited at my house Wednesday. I rode along to Rice Lake with her and ate at Nancy’s Café. The third-annual White Tail Campgrounds Golf Tournament will be Saturday, Aug. 23. The 9-hole tee time is 11 a.m. Afterward there is a potluck at 5 p.m. at the campground. Kelly and David Stoner returned last week from a five-day houseboat cruise on Crase Lake in northern Minnesota. Kelly’s mom and stepdad, Joanne and Larry Ricbert, rented it to get the two sides of the family together. Weather was wonderful. All enjoyed the fun. Dick and Charlotte Shover spent a week with their granddaughter, Ellee, from Downers Grove, Ill., touring Gettysburg, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Weather was perfect. The Spooner afternoon bowling team held their meeting with 18 attending, with eight teams of four women starting on Sept. 2 at 1 p.m. The cost will stay about the
same as last year. If you want to get on the sub list or want to bowl, you’ll be most welcome. Wednesday night the Spooner Class of 1950, with 20 attending for this month’s eat out, was at the Hideaway in Haugen. Classmate Shirley Atchinson Pullman, Ripon, and her sister, Delores, who were spending some time in Spooner, attended. So nice to see them. Marion Reiter and son Tim went to Madison on Friday to visit her son Matt for a few days. The in-house women’s horseshoe team ended on Thursday night after a fun season. So now some are going to switch to pitching beanbags. There will be a beanbag fun night at Rummel’s Tap on Thursday, Aug. 21, starting at 6:30 p.m. and on the following Thursday into the fall. This will be informal setup, draw for partners, men and women, beginners welcome. Bring a lawn chair if you want. If interested, just show up. Former neighbor Linda Tabor, Hillsdale, visited me Saturday forenoon while Tom was at his golf tourney at Lindale Golf Course in Rice Lake. They and two other couples were staying at Poor Folks Shady Rest Campground on Bear Lake for the weekend. It was so nice to see her and catch up on their family. Michelle and husband are in Napa Valley, Calif., and Brent and wife have his plumbing business in Rice Lake. Virginia Stodola’s cousin Carmella Johnson, Haugen, visited her on Sunday. Her son, Lane Johnson, brought her. There were 45 voters at the primary in Sarona on Tuesday. Karen Stephen, Kelly Stoner, Mary Berman and Vicki Lombard worked at the polls. Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht, Jillian and Jaxson went to a Twins game at Target Field in the Twin Cities on Saturday night. Bob Millard and a friend from Chetek visited Anton Frey on Monday forenoon.
Spooner street repair
Anton and Gloria Frey spun around the block, stopping by their kids one day. I was a coffee visitor at Bonnie Helmer’s Thursday morning. Then I joined my cousin, Ferne Shoquist and her daughter, Wendy, here from Colorado, for a bite at Economart. So had a great visit with them. Mary Marschall, her baby grandson, Grant, and I went together to a bridal shower for Amanda Brian fiancée of Kanner Odden, that was held Sunday at the Timberland Lutheran Church in Barronett. Then we went to the Mathisons’ to take baby Grant home so his folks could take him to Cumberland to have his picture with a dozen others his age from the area. The future class of 2032. Saturday a 21st birthday get-together was held for Brian Marschall at his house with his family and the grandmas there. Also to celebrate Ashley Anderson and Kyle Mathison’s birthdays and Kyle and Sara’s second anniversary. Best wishes to all. Folks have been enjoying fresh corn on the cob, tomatoes, cukes and green beans. The Getaway Bar was getting a new roofing job done on the weekend with a big crew working together to get it done. A happy birthday is wished for these folks celebrating birthdays this week.

Quinn, Westlund, Bewley victors in primary election NORTHWESTERN WISCONSIN - Three spots on the November ballot for legislative seats representing Northwest Wisconsin were decided in the Tuesday, Aug. 11, primary election. State Rep. Janet Bewley won the Democratic spot on the November ballot for the state Senate seat being vacated by Bob Jauch. Bewley garnered 7,703 votes, defeating challengers Thomas Ratzlaff (1,838) and Gary Kauther (1,150). Romaine Quinn defeated Ken Mandley by a margin of 3,854 to 1,819 votes for the Republican spot on the November ballot in the race for the 75th Assembly seat. Quinn will face incumbent Stephen Smith. Kelly Westlund received 78 percent of the vote in the primary contest for the Democratic spot on the November ballot for 7th Congressional District representative. Westlund, who defeated Mike Krsiean by a margin of 18,326 to 5,264 votes, will face incumbent Sean Duffy. Duffy was challenged in Tuesday’s primary but won handily, 26,052 to 3,574 over Don Rahala. - Gary King Susan Happ wins Democratic primary for attorney general STATEWIDE - Susan Happ, the only female candidate in the race for attorney general, has been declared the winner of the Democratic primary for the office by the AP. As of 1:29 a.m. on Wednesday, with about 99 percent of precincts reporting, Happ had won 52.1 percent of the vote. State Rep. Jon Richards, D-Milwaukee, had earned 32.5 percent of the vote, while Dane County D.A. Ismael Ozanne had earned 15.4 percent of the vote. Happ, who had raised the most money in the race, was widely expected to win, though all three Democratic candidates had frequently struggled to differentiate themselves to voters. Happ will go on to face Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel in the November election. – Erik Lorenzsonn, WPR news Roadwork has closed several side streets off Hwy. 63 in Spooner. The work being done is to repair some of the damage to the water mains that was caused by the long, cold winter. The water system will be looped, eliminating dead ends that led to some of the problems. The work should be completed in the next several weeks. — Photo by Larry Samson

Burke wins Democratic spot for governor; faces Walker in November NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - Mary Burke won the Democratic primary for governor and will face incumbent Scott Walker in the November general election. Burke was challenged for the Democratic spot on the ballot by Brett Hulsey. Unofficial vote tallies show Burke soundly defeated Hulsey by a margin of more than 258,000 votes to approximately 62,000 votes for Hulsey. Democratic voters in Burnett, Polk and Washburn counties supported Burke in Tuesday’s primary. In Burnett County she won by a margin of 542 to 75, she defeated Hulsey by a margin of 1,027 to 81 in Polk County and in Washburn County she received 656 compared to 41 tallied for Hulsey. This win makes history as Burke is the first woman nominated to run for the position of governor in Wisconsin.- Gary King and Danielle H. Moe
Judges in Barron County introduce first-of-its-kind restitution court Rich Kremer | WPR news BARRON COUNTY - Judges in Barron County have begun holding a court for people who have failed to pay restitution as part of their probation agreements. When someone is placed on probation, they agree to certain conditions set by the court, including paying restitution to a victim. But judges in Barron County were noticing a problem: People on probation weren’t paying up. Judge Maureen Boyle
said even after extensions, the money wasn’t coming in. “It appeared to us judges that there is a revictimization at that point,” said Boyle. “Sometimes victims are waiting for years to have any restitution paid back to them, and then at the end of all that time we’re coming back to them and saying, ‘Here’s the civil judgment, now go collect it.’” Instead of filling out the usual paperwork to extend probation or move a case
into civil court, Boyle and her fellow Barron County judges began calling offenders back into court to explain why they weren’t paying their victims. “We decided we needed to pay closer attention to this and start holding these hearings to just see exactly why this restitution wasn’t being paid,” said Boyle. “We’ve decided to take a more active role in having offenders come back into court and talk to us (about) their ability to pay
and about when they can get this restitution paid.” Boyle calls it “restitution court,” and according to the director of State Courts Office, it’s the first of its kind in Wisconsin. During the hearings, payment schedules are set and jail time is threatened to those who refuse to pay. Boyle said after a few months of holding the hearings they’ve already noticed more restitution being paid to victims.

Monday was another gray day with showers during the night. Flowers are blooming beautifully and the birds seem to like the puddles to bathe in. We celebrated Alice Mitchell’s birthday on Wednesday, Aug. 13, with cake and ice cream. Birthday greetings Alice!

Joni and Mark Parker camped out this weekend. It was a nice weekend to do that. The campgrounds in Shell Lake and Red Barn were full of campers.

Have a great one. Happy birthday to James Melton on Aug. 27 and also to Morgan Crosby who turns 4. Have a great day. Gardeners are busy harvesting those wonderful veggies from their gardens. Tomatoes are on, along with beans, peas (I wonder if Karen V. got those peas all shelled), cauliflower and much other. My tomatoes are ripening around my house now. Monday, Aug. 11, we had rain but we certainly could use a lot more. It’s very dry now and it’s hurting crops. Monday, Aug. 11, found son Richy’s turkeys taking their fateful ride to Barron. Sheds were cleaned and now they’re airing out and getting ready for more babies soon. Thursday found my niece, Nancy Michalek, coming to visit me. I haven’t seen her since Sunshine’s funeral, but they’re busy with their children and their lives. We had a very enjoyable day together and enjoyed dinner together. We had a good time discussing all the things going on. Her mom, Dorothy Gudlin, is due to have her both her knees operated on. She just found this out last Wednesday. Talking with Sandy Atkinson we find they had a cousins weekend this past weekend. Her son, Jim, and sonsin-law put down new carpet at the Atkinsons. Saturday night they had a bonfire and they enjoyed just being together. There were Jim Atkinson, Noah and Pattie Beaufeaux and sons and girlfriends, Lisa and Dan Otto, Marjorie and Charlie from North Branch, Minn., and Scott and Kristen Karls and Brianne and Jannah. Talking with Betty Meister, we find their girls, Beth and Bev and daughter Alyssa, came to spend a day with the Meisters. Bev is working till the end of August at her job and stays with Beth. Jarrett Cassellius, Bev’s honey, works at Wal-Mart and is a troubleshooter for them. He says he enjoys it and works in Eau Claire. Those yummy crunchy apples are ready at Smith’s Poquette Lake Apple Orchard. They also have lots of Lynn’s special baked goodies. So take a trip out to Smith’s. Saturday found Jerry and Gretchen Best attending a wedding for one of their son Kevin’s roommates from college. Jeff Blomquist and his honey, Jamie, were married at Echo Valley in Clear Lake. Kevin and Jess and their little son, Kaleb, were up for the wedding with Kevin being in the wedding. Gretchen says they got to take care of Kaleb and she and Jerry certainly enjoyed it. The Bests flew back to Florida on Sunday. I understand the wedding was beautiful, with it being held by a barn
that was redone and by a lake. Lots of people attended the wedding. The Doug Vanderhoofs and Dave and Katie Kinde and children Logan and Megan went to the Travis Vanderhoofs’ to attend a birthday party for the Vanderhoof children on Sunday. Chad and Ashley Crosby and children Chase, Morgan and Joyel were home at the Garry Crosbys’ and the Coyours’ over the weekend. On Saturday evening, Beth made fish with all the fixings and had Shorty and Melissa Crosby and Tyler and Katie Ann, Chad and Ashley and kids, and Tom and Sunshine and Isaac, Josie and Alycia over, along with Jerry and Robin Denver. Beth tells us their sweet corn is now ready so if you need some for freezing, give them a call. I understand the corn is delicious. The Bernard Redding house has been sold to a young couple and they’re enjoying it. They have no kids and the wife is working in Chippewa Falls until the end of the month. Sunday after church services at the Lakeview Methodist Church they had a picnic with 98 people attending. They had lots of food. Monday, Diane Hulleman and a group of ladies and their girls went to Claudia Place’s and enjoyed the day. It was raining out so they played Bingo and later had lunch. Later they took three golf carts and rode around the area where Claudia had cut trails and later the kids had an Easter egg hunt, which had money for the children. Tuesday Diane worked at the election with 50-plus coming to vote. This past week, Diane made homemade soap and it sounds really easy so maybe I’ll have to try making it. Jimmy Quam is now without the sling on his arm. He says it’s healing really fast now, which is certainly great to hear. Jimmy had rotator cuff surgery on his arm June 9. On Sunday, Janie and Rick Lauterbach and children Noah, Ellianna and Grace were at the Quams’. Diane Hulleman and Dakota Henry and a couple of others attended the free meal put on by the Methodist church ladies in Shell Lake. The gals helped served the food and then ate. Diane said they really put on a great meal. The former Wesley home on Town Road has been sold to a couple that have both retired from the military. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

St. Francis de Sales holds Totus Tuus
The idea is to not break the water balloon in the water balloon toss. The teams of two would throw the water balloon back and forth until the last two players were still standing.
Owen Dernovsek and Emma Snider are taking turns putting the sticky chocolate and caramel toppings on Caleb Potaczek, to celebrate Caleb’s birthday.
Isaac Hopke surprises Angel Reetz with a bucket of cold water as the students of the St. Francis Totus Tuus classes celebrate the end of their summer catechism classes on Friday, Aug. 8, at the Spooner Centennial Park. Totus Tuus is Lation, meaning “totally yours,” and is a summer Catholic youth program.
