NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - As you look to cool off in the heat of summer, remember to keep an eye out for blue-green algae blooms which often flourish in July or August. “August has typically been when we receive the most bloom reports because the water is usually the warmest and conditions most conducive to fueling algae growth,” says Gina LaLiberte, Department of Natural Resources research scientist and statewide blue-green algae coordinator. Some algal species produce toxins that, when ingested or inhaled, can make people, pets, livestock and wildlife sick. See full story on page 7.

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Washburn County residents will not have the opportunity to voice their opinion on the November election ballots on whether the state should accept federal funding for the state’s Medicaid/BadgerCare program. The Washburn County Board voted out an advisory referendum question on accepting

federal funding for the state’s Medicaid/BadgerCare program to be placed on the November election ballots but approved an amended version stating the board’s support of accepting federal funding for expanded health-care coverage at the regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 19. The original resolution brought before the board was to place the question: “Shall the next state Legislature accept available federal funds for BadgerCare to ensure thousands of Wisconsin citizens have access to quality and affordSee County board, page 3

Mustang for a cure Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — “In the beginning it’s pretty western,” said Sid Zacharias, laughing, “they are pretty silly.” Zacharias trains horses at Rockin’ Z Ranch but has been using his free time training Durango the Kid, formerly a wild mustang. “You do it because you like it and because you can help a horse out,” said Zacharias. Durango is being trained as part of the Extreme Mustang Makeover competition that will showcase the abilities of mustangs trained in less than 100 days by horse trainers from around the United States on Sept. 18. The competitive event has a grand prize but Zacharias competes to help wild mustangs, a growing problem for western states. The competition is organized with the Bureau of Land Management to successfully train wild mustangs to become adoptable companions. “What I got in store is, we are going to be trick riding, we are shooting guns off of him, we are lying down, he’s jumping over picnic tables,” explained Zacharias. On Saturday, Aug. 30, everyone is invited to the Washburn County Fairgrounds in Spooner to view Durango’s performances that will be shown at the mustang competition in Fort Worth, Texas. The Spooner event, Mustang 6.0, is being organized to help Stephanie Gramberg, Spooner, with her battle against stage-four breast cancer. Gramberg is a jailer at the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office and an See Mustang, page 3

95 years of service recognized Danielle H. Moe |Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Fire Association recently recognized seven volunteer firefighters for 95 years of combined service. “It speaks well that we have given out more than we ever have,” said Keith Dahlstrom, fire chief. The association gives out the service awards every five years in recognition of crewmembers’ voluntary help. Those recognized include Dave Schraufnagel, 30 years; Steve Degner, 15 years; Tony Johnson, 15 years; Brad Draves, 10 years; Tom Viltz, 10 years; Tasha Draves, five years; and Jason Sebens, five years. The Shell Lake Fire Association was organized as a fire department in 1898 then organized into an association to supply

coverage to nearby communities. The average 20-plus volunteers answer a variety of calls to residents of Shell Lake, the towns of Dewey and Roosevelt in Burnett County, and Bashaw, Beaverbrook, Barronett and Sarona in Washburn County. The association covers 170 square miles, responding to more than house fires. “It almost seems like if they don’t know who to call, we get called,” said Dahlstrom. The fire association also responds to ice rescues, cold-water rescues, extrications, gas leaks, wildland fires, search and rescues and first responder calls. “That’s what makes it interesting because you don’t know what you’re going to,” he The Shell Lake Fire Association recognized seven crewmembers for their years of sersaid.

paring the newest addition to their ranks, a 2014 Rosenbauer truck. The arrival of the truck has been two years in the making. “It is something new, it really helps us out for the community,” Dahlstrom said. Today the association operates with six trucks, two engines, two water tenders, a rescue truck and a brush truck. The new truck replaces the previous rescue vehicle that was a cargo van. Each vehicle has a life expectancy of 30 years. In October the crew is planning a banquet and raffle event but it is still in the organizational stages. Dahlstrom says more information about the event will be released in the future. “I am proud of our staff here as they go beyond what many are willing to do by leaving their families and jobs at a moment’s notice, day or night, to answer the call to help someone in need. A big thanks to the employers also for supporting the firemen and fire department by allowing them to leave work to answer calls, it is also a way to show their support to the local communities,” said Dahlstrom.

Krantz to retire from VSO Danielle H. Moe |Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Carl Krantz, county veterans service officer, announced his retirement during his annual report to the Washburn County Board on Tuesday, Aug. 19. Krantz has served the county for about 25 years “I thank you for your support of the veterans community in Washburn County, the Washburn County Board has had a tradition of supporting its veterans,” said Krantz. Key accomplishments that were achieved under Krantz’s leadership include the creation of the Northern Wisconsin Memorial Veterans Cemetery in 1998, the wayside adjacent to the cem-

etery, the Washburn County veterans center, counseling services for combat veterans and spouses, the Vietnam Veterans moving wall, the Berlin Crisis ceremony and a $13.8 million increase in the amount of yearly VA benefits that the office has helped Washburn County veterans receive since 1990.  Krantz received personal thanks by several of the board members and a standing applause from those in attendance at the meeting. Lisa Powers, veterans service office assistant, was then appointed by the board as the next veterans service officer on a unanimous roll call vote. Tony Johnson and Josh Buckridge help prepare the fire association’s new rescue truck.

County board/from page 1 able health coverage?” on the November election ballot for Washburn County voters. The results of the referendum would then be sent to the Washburn County Legislative Delegation, the governor and the Wisconsin Counties Association. A strained discussion on the resolution took place between board members resulting in the approval of two amendments to the resolution before its final passage. Once the resolution was open to discussion Steven Sather, board chair, made a motion to remove the portion of the resolution that placed the referendum question on the ballot. The amendment was approved on a roll call vote 11 to eight. Board members that voted against the amendment were Thomas Mackie, District Five; Thomas Ricci, District Six; Robert Lester, District Seven; Beth Esser, District Eight; Keith Trembath, District Nine; David Haessig, District 14; Larry Ford, District 17; and Susan Hansen, District 20. In light of the board voting out the referendum question, Hansen made a motion to add clarifying language to the resolution stating that the Washburn County Board supports the state of Wisconsin accepting the federal funding for the

state’s Medicaid/BadgerCare program. The board approved that amendment on a 12-8 roll call vote. Board members that voted against the amendment were L.H. Fiedler, District One; Nell Lee, District Four; Ricci; Dave Wilson, District 11; David Masterjohn, District 12; Gregory Krantz, District 13; Romaine Quinn, District 15; and James Dohm, District 16. The full-amended resolution was then approved on a roll call vote 11 to nine. Board members that voted against the final resolution were Steven Waggoner, District Three; Lee; Ricci; Wilson; Masterjohn; Krantz; Quinn; Dohm; and Terry Leckel Jr., District 21. “They completely stripped out the real meaning (of the resolution) which was to send it to the people for the people to speak to the state government,” said Hansen when asked about the changes made to the resolution. “The entire resolution’s intent was to create a referendum question on the November ballot so the people, the voters, could tell their state government that they want their state government to take that money.” Board member Wilson described the atmosphere of the discussion as apprehensive but offered no comment on his thoughts regarding the approved resolu-

tion. Masterjohn said he believed the referendum question to be a political ploy instigated by the Democratic Party to get their voters to the polls in the November election. Media reports say 12 counties across the state have approved resolutions similar to the original one brought before the Washburn County Board. Lolita Olson, county clerk, estimated the cost to have the referendum question placed on the ballot to be about $1,500 to $1,800. Five citizens addressed the board regarding the resolution. Bob Kipka, Town of Stone Lake and District Seven resident, read a letter to the board written by Mike Pyne, president of the Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans in favor of accepting expanded Medicaid funding. Caryl Ligler, Town of Brooklyn and District Three resident, stated that she was in favor of expanding Medicaid funding and the resolution. Paul Wharton, Town of Bass Lake and District Four resident, stated his opposition to the expansion of Medicaid funding and that the referendum is a ploy by the Democratic Party to get voters to the polls. Angeline Winton, Town of Springbrook and District 10 resident, spoke in favor of the resolution and read a letter from the American College of

Physicians stating the organization’s support of such a resolution. Steve Farrow, Town of Bashaw and District 11 resident, also spoke in favor of the resolution and read a letter from the Wisconsin Farmers Union stating their support of Medicaid expansion.

SHS receives two Excellence in Patient Care awards SPOONER - Spooner Health System received two Excellence in Patient Care awards given by Studer Group®, an outcomes-based health-care performance improvement firm. SHS received the awards at Studer Group’s 12th-annual What’s Right in Health Care® conference in Chicago earlier this month. The awards are based on various categories and are given to select organizations that are coached by Studer Group. To be eligible for an award, an organization must demonstrate outstanding performance in patient care. One award recognized SHS’ exemplary results for the communication with nurses composite on the HCAHPS patient survey. During the reference time period, third quarter 2012 through second quarter 2013, 87 percent of patients completing the HCAHPS survey answered that their nurses always communicated well. When compared to the other 1,758 hospitals using Press Ganey to administer their HCAHPS survey, Spooner Health System’s result of 87 percent ranks them at the 94th percentile nationally. Press Ganey’s database includes all sizes of organizations from small rural hospitals all the way up to large major medical centers. The 94th percentile in the area of nurse communication is quite an accomplishment. Secondly, SHS received an award recognizing them for showing substantial

SHS also contracts with Press Ganey to conduct a confidential employee survey each year. Out of all the organizations using Press Ganey for their employee partnership survey measuring both employee satisfaction and engagement, SHS scores for the last three years equated to the 94th,

98th and 98th national percentile ranks. Clint Miller, director of patient care services at SHS, was among four employees who were able to be at the What’s Right in Health Care® conference to receive the two Excellence in Patient Care awards. “Many of the organizations who received these awards are among the best in the country,” says Miller. “It was an honor to

be among those incredible organizations and receive these prestigious awards on behalf of Spooner Health System.” Miller said he is proud of the staff for the work they do and their commitment to make Spooner Health System a great place for patients to receive care. “These awards align with the positive things we’ve been hearing from our patients and their families during patient rounding, the discharge process and follow-up phone calls,” says Miller. “We’ve been partnered with Studer Group for just over five years now,” says Mike Schafer, SHS CEO. “We are not chasing numbers, scores or awards. However, they are an objective measure of the work we are doing and confirm that we are doing what’s right for our patients. Our community should feel confident that they can get excellent care right here in Spooner. “In addition to our patients being more satisfied,” continues Schafer, “it is clear that our employees are much more satisfied and engaged than they were five years ago. “Though we are very pleased with the progress our organization has made,” says Schafer, “we are not going to settle and get comfortable where we are at. We are committed and will continue to strive for excellence always.” - from Spooner Health Systems

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County Board voted on supporting the designation of a national heritage area and appointed the new county veterans service officer among other agenda items during their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 19. The Washburn County Board passed a resolution expressing their majority support for the North Woods and Waters of the St. Croix National Heritage Area. “It takes no rights away from the local government at the town, city, village, county level, or tribal nation level, or does not take any private property rights away,” explained Sheldon Johnson, executive director of the Northwest Regional Planning Commission. The NRPC, based in Spooner, is the agency leading the project on the proposed heritage area that covers 57 million acres, 10 counties in Minnesota, nine Wisconsin counties, 50 local units of government and two tribal governments. Other groups involved include the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, St. Croix Valley Foundation and the

been asked if they would like to be in the heritage area and asked for the resolution be delayed until homeowners and property owners are informed about how the designation will affect them. “They and we have a right to know because implementation of the St. Croix Heritage Area in the end means that private property rights are gone.” In June, a feasibility study backing the plan was completed, public comment opportunities on the plan will occur before it is submitted to Congress for approval and designation. According to the NRPC the designation of the region as a heritage area will increase economic opportunities through understanding of the area’s history and cultural significance. If Congress does approve the designation this would be the first heritage area in Wisconsin. The resolution was approved on a 13-7 roll call vote.

Wetlands featured at Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association annual meeting SPOONER – “Wetlands serve many valuable functions,” said Tracy Hames, executive director of Wisconsin Wetlands Association at the Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association meeting held Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Spooner Ag Research Station. Washburn County has over 80,000 acres of wetlands, covering more than 15 percent of the county. Wetlands serve a vital function on the landscape. In the spring, they help prevent flooding by holding snowmelt and rain. Wetlands remove pollutants as the water filters through the soil to the groundwater. Wetlands provide a rich habitat for ducks, amphibians, and a variety of insects that start their life cycle in water. And wetlands play a role in reduc-

ing pollutants reaching our streams, rivers and lakes. Hames concluded his presentation by commending the community of Stone Lake for protecting its lake by creating a wetland park to provide recreational opportunities while filtering runoff. He has traveled extensively to observe Wisconsin’s wetlands and believes that Washburn County may be home to the only community wetland park in the state. Hames said funds are available through NRCS or Fish and Wildlife Service to restore wetlands. WWA also has a program to help private landowners protect wetlands as well as web pages and a handbook, “My Healthy Wetland,” for homeowners wanting to bet-

ter understand their wetlands. For more information see the WWA website, wisconsinwetlands.org.

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer MADISON- Media groups and local government associations have reached an interim agreement regarding the policy of redacting state law enforcement records. Members or clients of government associations are being advised that law enforcement records containing personal information should be released unredacted, but only under certain conditions. The agreement is the result of talks between government associations like the League of Wisconsin Municipalities and media organizations like the Wisconsin Newspaper Association. Locally, the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department ended their redaction policy in April, about a year after they began redacting personal information from accident re-

Deal struck for unredacted records

ports. The practice of records redaction began on an interpretation of the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act stemming from a parking ticket left on the driver’s vehicle in Palatine, Ill. The case, brought against the city by the driver, found that the drivers privacy was compromised when his name, address and date of birth were on the ticket and left in view of the public. The DPPA was made law in 1997 and prohibits the release of personal identifying information with some exceptions. The exceptions of motor vehicle or public safety have long been used by the media as legitimate and necessary use of the information. Personal information includes an individual’s name, address and phone number as listed on a motor vehicle re-

port or traffic citation. The Palatine ruling remains in effect after the Supreme Court denied hearing the case in June 2013. During that time municipalities saw redaction of identifying information as a way around a potential lawsuit. An appellate court is currently hearing a case that will supply the media and local governments with direction, but that decision could be a year away. This new agreement for obtaining unredacted documents is contingent upon the requestor completing a form that states the use of the information is related to public safety, one of the exceptions listed in the DPPA for use of personal information. The Wisconsin Newspaper Association and its legal representatives

believe the form is more comprehensive than necessary stating, “It is, nonetheless, a worthwhile compromise, pending the issuance of a binding appellate court’s decision favoring media access.” The form allows local governments basic information from requestors including their name, the purpose of their request and the DPPA exception allowing them access. “Routine redaction of all personal information from law enforcement agency records, without regard for where the information comes from, is an overboard response and may violate Wisconsin’s public records law,” wrote the League of Wisconsin Municipalities in a document providing information about the agreement.

Area news at a glance RICE LAKE — Wal-Mart in Rice Lake was denied a Class A liquor, and beer license with a vote by Rice Lake Mayor Steve Harrington breaking a 4-4 tie during the recent city council meeting. Those opposing cited disparities in the application, past precedence, and increased risk of underage drinking as reasons to deny the license. On its application, Wal-Mart requested a space of 1,800 square feet to sell alcohol. Alderman Mike Diercks pointed out that a graphic of the floor plan submitted with the application showed a space half that size. Harrington said he was concerned about the store having the option to expand its liquor department to that size. Dan Genereau said he felt it was unfair to liquor retailers who paid to acquire a license to grant a new license. In 2001, MarketPlace paid $135,000 to acquire its liquor license from Hardys’ Liquor while Gordy’s, the last to get one of four Class A licenses in the city, had no such cost other than the application fee. The matter may be reconsidered at a future meeting at the request of a council member who voted against granting the license. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• MADISON – An unvaccinated St. Croix County mare is the first in Wisconsin this year to contract West Nile Virus, prompting a reminder to horse owners to vacci-

nate their animals against that virus and eastern equine encephalitis, two mosquito-borne diseases that together have stricken hundreds of horses in Wisconsin since 2001. The 4-1/2-year-old quarter horse is recovering after being treated by a veterinarian. “The cooler, wetter spring delayed a mosquito outbreak in parts of the state, but now that things are heating up it creates the perfect breeding environment for mosquitoes,” says State Veterinarian Dr. Paul McGraw of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. “Cases of EEE have now emerged in southern states and now WNV has been detected in a horse in Wisconsin.” Horses require two doses of the vaccination initially, and then boosters at least annually. “We recommend working with your veterinarian, so you get the best plan for your horse and advice about additional boosters later in the season,” McGraw says. Both WNV and EEE are caused by viruses transmitted by mosquitoes, and both may cause encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain. EEE kills about 90 percent of horses that it strikes, and WNV kills in more than a third of all equine cases. Symptoms are similar for both diseases: depression, appetite loss,

Bear harvest quota increased in northwestern Wisconsin to address nuisance complaints and ag damage SPOONER — In an effort to help address human-bear conflicts in an area of northwestern Wisconsin that has had serious conflicts in recent years, state wildlife officials significantly increased the number of bear harvest permits in that area for the upcoming bear-hunting season. The goal in is to reduce the bear population in an area designated as Bear Zone D, in response to a high level of bear-related complaints from residents last year, according to Mike Zeckmeister, Department of Natural Resources wildlife supervisor for northwestern Wisconsin. “We would like to focus bear harvest

in the southern portion of Zone D including Barron, Polk, Washburn and Burnett counties where we have higher bear numbers and the highest number of bear-related issues,” Zeckmeister said. The new quota will also provide additional hunting opportunities at a time when the popularity of bear hunting continues to increase and also increase the chances of hunters harvesting a bear. “Our goal is to have bear hunters who have waited and drawn a harvest tag to reduce locally high bear populations,” Zeckmeister said. Hunters harvested more than 3,800

bears in Wisconsin during the 2013 bear season. Nearly a third, or 1,200, of those bears were taken in Zone D. This year the DNR put in place a Zone D quota of 1,600, which is the highest it’s ever been. “This four-county area, in the southern portion of Zone D, offers tremendous opportunities to harvest a bear in 2014,” said Zeckmeister. Hunters had to apply for harvest permits for the 2014 Wisconsin black bear season by Dec. 10 of last year. Hunters who were successful in receiving permits should have already received notification. Hunters can also go to the online licensing

center to check their permit status. The bear-hunting season opens Wednesday, Sept. 3, and Brad Koele, DNR wildlife damage specialist, says bear hunters still looking for a place to hunt should consider properties enrolled in the agricultural damage program. Under this program farmers receiving damage abatement assistance for damages caused by bear are required to open their property to the public for bear hunting. A list of these properties can be found by searching the DNR website dnr.wi.gov for keywords Damage Permit Hunting. — from WDNR

Keep an eye out for algae blooms NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - As you look to cool off in the heat of summer, remember to keep an eye out for blue-green algae blooms which often flourish in July or August. “August has typically been when we receive the most bloom reports because the water is usually the warmest and conditions most conducive to fueling algae growth.” says Gina LaLiberte, Department of Natural Resources research scientist and statewide blue-green algae coordinator. Blue-green algae, technically known as Cyanobacteria, are microscopic organisms that are naturally present at low numbers in all Wisconsin lakes, streams and ponds. When conditions are favorable, usually in summer, the number of algae can increase dramatically, appearing as opaque, peasoup-like water or forming colorful scums.

“A good rule of thumb for assessing algae levels is that if you walk into the water up to your knees – being careful not to kick up the bottom sediments -and you can see your feet, the risk from blue-green algae is low to moderate, but it’s still a good idea to avoid swallowing water,” LaLiberte says. “When you can’t see your feet, keep children and dogs out of the water, and consider having the whole family pursue another activity that day,” she says. Some algal species produce toxins that, when ingested or inhaled, can make people, pets, livestock and wildlife sick, according to LaLiberte. “In addition to gastrointestinal upset, people may also experience rashes and hives from skin contact with blue-green algae, particularly if they are susceptible to other allergic reactions,” Emmy Wollenburg, outreach

specialist at the Department of Health Services says. “It’s also a good idea to always wash hands before eating, and wash off after swimming in any lake, river or pond to reduce the chance of irritation or allergenic effects,” suggests LaLiberte. “The worst illnesses are usually seen in animals like dogs, which aren’t concerned about water quality and may swim in or drink from water with significant bluegreen algae blooms,” Wollenburg says. “Dogs also are at risk because they may ingest algae when they groom themselves after swimming, which is why it’s so important to rinse your pet with fresh, clean water every time they swim in a lake, pond or river,” Wollenburg says. If a pet displays symptoms such as seizures, vomiting, or diarrhea after contact with surface water, contact a veterinarian right away.

People who think they are experiencing symptoms related to exposure to bluegreen algae – stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, fever, muscle weakness, difficulty breathing – should contact their doctor or the Wisconsin Poison Center immediately at 800-222-1222. To report illnesses in people or animals that may be related to blue-green algae, contact the Department of Health Services at 608-266-1120, or fill out the online survey on the DHS website. Go to dhs.wisconsin.gov and search for “blue-green algae.” For information on blue-green algal blooms in Wisconsin, including a YouTube video, go to dnr.wi.gov/lakes/bluegreenalgae/. - submitted

Emmaville Town names ending in ville tend to be named after a person. Even the fictional town of Hooterville from the 1960s TV shows “Petticoat Junction” and “Green Acres” was supposedly named after Horace Hooter. On a recent weekend getaway with my sister, Konnie, and brother-in-law Bill, we stopped at the café in Emmaville, Minn., for lunch. Emmaville claims to be the biggest little town in the world. Just north of Dorset, which claims to be the restaurant capital of the world, Emmaville is located at the intersection County Roads 4 and 24 in Hubbard County, between Park Rapids and Lake George. Emmaville, population 4, boasts of being 100 years old or so. The only business in this unincorporated

community is the café/gas station/ convenience store with a No-Tel motel campground located behind it. Across the street the old one-room schoolhouse from the early 1900s bears a sign out front that says, “University of Emmaville.” Apparently the four residents of Emmaville have a sense of humor. Quirky signs in the area read, “Stop and Shop in Emmaville. If we don’t have it, you don’t need it.” “The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.”

The sign says it all.

The sign for Emmaville, Minn., is a popular backdrop for people with the name Emma to have their picture taken by as they pass through town. — Photos by Suzanne Johnson

In the convenience store hangs a world map. People visiting are encouraged to leave a stickpin to indicate where they are from. It is amazing how many stickpins are tacked into that map. Among items available for purchase at the store is a cranberry apple granola called “Crapola.” It claims to “make even weird people regular.” Humor comes through on the menu at the café as a crispy chicken salad is described as being “sorta good for you,” whereas the garden salad warns you to watch out for marauding rabbits. Under burgers it reads, “Hamburger – keepin’ it simple – meat and bread. Cheeseburger – keepin’ it real. Same as above only with American cheese. California

Burger – what we heard Californians eat. Patty Melt – what your cool friend always orders.” The Hippy Burger is made of turkey ground with brown rice and served with a groovy sauce, commenting, “Peace, man.” Next to the turkey club it says, “Sorry, not served in quarters and no toothpicks.” When it came to dessert it stated, “Dieting? Too bad. Don’t read this.” How did Emmaville get its name? My imagination took me down the path to believing that 100 years ago, or so, Emma was a great cook as well as a wonderful, caring, hardworking woman that everyone loved. Then again, maybe Emma was someone’s dependable horse, or perhaps she was a faithful dog,

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner “The Tonight Show” sidekick: Ed McMahon by Mary B. Olsen There may be people who do not remember the man who sat beside Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show” and played straight man and did the commercials for 30 years. He was also the man whose face was on your mail for the American Family sweepstakes and almost called to tell you the million dollars was yours. Maybe everybody would like to have met him with that check. Every year about this time, many of us think about years when the Labor Day telethon would begin on Sunday and continue for 21-1/2 hours. It was led by the comedian Jerry Lewis. Beside him, to prop him up and laugh at his jokes and ask for money for muscular dystrophy, and announce the amount of money given, was the affable Ed McMahon. Although he was well-known and had among his friends Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Dick Clark and Johnny Carson, we may wonder what the real Ed McMahon was like. For me, the man was the image of a perfect gentleman. Always neat and trim, on time, soft-spoken, with never a hint of bad language, he was the height of propriety. Teamed with Johnny Carson, the two played off each other like no other combination on television. He was there with a booming laugh whenever Johnny cracked a joke, the good-natured foil for countless verbal pratfalls. He was Big Ed, the second banana, riding shotgun for Carson

Rid your home of hazardous chemicals

he final hazardous waste collections for our area will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 3, 9-11 a.m., in Minong at the Minong Area Disposal on Hwy. 53, and 2-3:30 p.m. in Stone Lake at the Sand Lake Municipal Garage just north of Stone Lake on the west side of Hwy. 70. This event, the NW Cleansweep Program, collects household hazardous waste chemicals from residents free of charge. It is a valuable program to our counties because it provides an outlet for residents to safely dispose of potentially harmful substances — both for humans and for animals and the environment. Examples of items collected are: old gas and

through the canyons of show business. In the book, “For Laughing Out Loud,” Ed wrote; “I wanted to be in entertainment ... to be accepted, to be needed and loved ... very early in life ... when someone laughs at something you say, you’re hooked ... that feeling of pleasing people is addicting. The first time you do it is amazing so you try to do it a second time. And if somehow you can figure out how to do it a 10th time, well, then you’re in show business.” Edward Peter Leo McMahon was born March 6, 1923, in Detroit, Mich. In his book about his life, he said he called Detroit his home by default, because his parents moved around a lot. The only stability in his early life was when he stayed with his grandparents in Lowell, Mass. Of Irish descent, school was important, but at 16 he worked for a summer at a carnival as a bingo caller. He was a born salesman. He began selling vegetable slicers on the boardwalk and he was successful. He was educated at Boston College and the Catholic University in Washington, D.C. He served in the Marine Corps as a pilot in World War II, and in the Korean War and then in the Reserve, from 1940. He retired as a colonel in 1966. His career in television began at the beginning. He was a broadcaster in Lowell and then in Philadelphia on television on WCAU-TV. Those early years were largely trial and error, with shows live, and Ed did everything from newscasts with maps for props to performing as a clown. His first network show was “The Big Top,” and he ended up being a sad clown. He said, “Clowns are made up, not

born.” He wanted to be the ringmaster, of course, but someone else got that spot. There was a half-hour show called “Who Do You Trust?” and Ed was on with the host, Johnny Carson. He had seen Johnny on “The Johnny Carson Show” before he met him. Ed watched recordings of the show without sound and discovered that Carson was a physical comedian, like the great ones of silent films. He liked his style. In 1958, they came together and Ed was the sidekick. The team of Ed and Johnny Carson worked like clockwork together from 1962 to 1992. He never wanted to leave Carson. “As far as I was concerned, we were joined at the desk.” Ed McMahon was involved in three or four different jobs at a time all his working life. He was on “Star Search,” like other talent search programs, from 1983 until 1995, and he was disappointed when it folded. He was on “Bloopers And Practical Jokes” with Dick Clark from 1982 until 1998. Ed was an actor as well as an announcer and salesman. He performed on Broadway and he was in movies. He sang “There’s No Business Like Show Business” in “Annie Get Your Gun,” and played Buffalo Bill. He had a nightclub act, as a standup comedian. He sold almost everything imaginable including beer but not cigarettes. In his personal life, he was married to Alyce while he was a flight instructor in the Marines in 1945. They had four children. They divorced in 1974. He married Victoria in 1976. They adopted a baby girl. That marriage ended in divorce in 1989.

Earth Notes • Jen Barton

He married Pam who was 37 years old, and although he was more than twice her age, they had a very good marriage. Ed gave to charities, among them the St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, a place where they provide a stable home for children who have been abused. He gave of his time, as well. His assistance at the telethon brought in contributions. What was it like doing those telethons? “I spent a week on television one day.” He wrote that he felt he had an obligation to use his success to help other people. “I mean it as I said it: it’s an obligation and I don’t think you really have a choice in the matter.” When he was on “The Tonight Show” there was always a running joke about Ed’s drinking. It was true that he drank, but he was very tall and could drink quite a bit and not get drunk. He and Johnny often went to their favorite bars and it was like insurance for that little Carson to have a big man beside him in a public place. He came on hard times during his last couple of years. He and his wife suffered from mold in their home caused by negligent workmanship. He had a fall and was injured. He wasn’t working and owed on mortgages. On June 23, 2009, he passed away. He made millions and gave away millions, and had a fantastic life. He was famous for introducing Johnny, with “Heeeere’s Johnny!” and for giving away money. To paraphrase the song Jerry always sang at the end of the telethon, “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” Ed McMahon never walked alone. He walked among the stars.

Perry will launch newest book at Northwind Book and Fiber

SPOONER — Best-selling author Michael Perry will be at Northwind Book & Fiber, 205 Walnut St., Spooner, on Tuesday, Sept. 2, at 7 p.m., for the release of his first novel for middle-schoolers. He will read from, discuss, and sign “Scavengers,” a postapocalyptic story set in a future where the threat of terrorism and climate change have wreaked havoc on the world as we know it. “Scavengers” tells the story of Ford Falcon and her family. When the government creates Bubble Cities, citizens have the choice to live under that protection or to live OutBubble on their own. Ford’s family has chosen to live OutBubble. They have been scavenging and making do the best they can, but when Ford discovers her home has been ransacked and her family missing, she must prove she is strong enough to brave this wild world alone and rescue her loved ones. Perry is best known for his memoirs of rural Wisconsin — “Population 485,” “Coop,” “Truck” and “Visiting Tom.” Perry’s trademark ability to evoke rural life comes through in “Scavengers,” which is set on a Wisconsin farm. According to a Star Tribune review, “Perry’s tough and tender story rings true to kids’ experiences of an adult world that sometimes betrays the young.” Kirkus Reviews says, “Comparisons to other gritty, engaging tough-girl-with-a-strong-moral-compass stories are inevitable, but Ford has originality and grit to spare … and Perry provides a satisfying closing for his restless heroine.” Perry grew up in New Auburn and now lives in Fall Creek on a farm with his wife and daughters. The just released book, “Scavengers,” Perry’s first work of fiction and first story for kids, will be available to be signed, and his other titles. Contact the store at 715-635-6811 for more information. — from NB&F

Shell Lake band first at Rutabaga Fest

Jesi Sando, Dakota Robinson and Katie Slater accepted the Rutabaga Festival first-place trophy for small schools after the parade on Sunday, Aug. 24. The trophy represents many hours of band camp and practice the Shell Lake band put in this summer.

Levi Meister, Cody W. Swan, Chloe Swan and Emily Swan got front-row seats to watch their sisters and cousins in the Shell Lake marching band, and the candy was a bonus.

Cyrice Lehmann and Jordan Lawrence were the lone Shell Lake royalty members on the Shell Lake float. The other girls were ahead of them in the marching band. They did not seem to mind as they did not have to share the attention.

Strong showing in first game for the Rails

Tanner Schafer punts the ball under pressure from the Ellsworth rusher. Shafer, a junior, is the punter, linebacker and backup quarterback.

Wide receiver Jordan Melton tries to spin away from the Ellsworth defender after the catch.

With less than four minutes left in the first half, Brett Gauger runs for a touchdown that brought Spooner within seven points. The game was 7-14 going into halftime, but Spooner went down 14-35 in their home game with Ellsworth on Friday, Aug. 22. The 2013 quarterback Gavin Anderson was on the sideline to help advise his friend and former teammate Matt Slaminski as he takes over the quarterback duties for the 2014 season. The Spooner program has a strong tradition of working with all their resources to be competitive in the strong Heart O’ North Conference.

Shell Lake starts out with a loss

Trevor Anderson clears a hole for running back James Crawford.

Dominic Hopke takes a hit after his catch, holding on to the ball for the reception. Hopke is a sophomore running back that will add depth to the backfield. The Lakers defense stops the potent Hurly offense short of a goal when Zach Melton makes an interception just inside the end zone after James Crawford tipped the ball. This was one of the few bright spots on the defense as Shell Lake lost 0-52 to Hurly in the first game of the season on Friday, Aug. 22.

SHELL LAKE — Saturday, Aug. 30, marks the anniversary of Shell Lake’s annual Lake Run 5K race around scenic Shell Lake. The race starts at 8 a.m. and starts on Industrial Boulevard, in front of Vitality Village. While the event draws roughly 300 runners and walkers from surrounding areas, many folks are unaware of the services that are provided to county residents as a result of their support. Most recent fundraising efforts by Lakeland Family Resource Center contributed to the construction of a ramp on the exterior of the building, making the facility handicap accessible for community members. The mission of LFRC is to provide programs and services that build on family strengths through prevention, education, support and collaboration with other resources in the community. Lakeland Family Resource Center is available to all families and children in Washburn County and all programs are offered at no cost. Registration for the Lake Run can be achieved by calling the center at 715-6354669 or registering on race day between 6:30-7:30 a.m. Not a walker or runner? Consider volunteering your time to help make the event great. Turn guides, loud clapping, friendly faces and cowbells are welcome. — from LFRC

Washburn County accident report

612898 2r

WASHBURN COUNTY – On Friday, Aug. 9, at approximately 3:35 p.m. Sidney Stocker, 66, Waupaca was pulling a boat and trailer in the southbound slow lane on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Trego. Roger Pittman, 70, Danbury was stopped at the intersection of CTH E and Hwy. 53 when he pulled forward to cross Hwy. 53 and hit Stocker. Neither driver suffered injuries in the accident but both vehicles were damaged. Stocker’s 2006 Ford F150 pickup sustained moderate damage to the front and front driver side. Pittman’s 2008 Ford Escape sustained minor damage to the rear and rear driver side. Pittman was cited for failure to yield the right of way at a stop sign.

On Thursday, Aug. 14, at approximately 9 a.m. Arnold Evitch, 63, Birchwood pulled into a parking lot in the village of Birchwood towing a pontoon on a trailer. Evitch, driving a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado pickup, made a wide swing into the lot but encountered another vehicle approaching from the opposite direction and moved to the right to avoid the other vehicle and sideswiped a parked 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe with the pontoon. The Hyundai, owned by Susan Hubbard, 50, Birchwood, sustained minor damage to the front. Evitch’s vehicle sustained very minor damage to the middle passenger side.

Psalm 81:1, 10-16

Sunday, September 1, 2013 Fifteenth Sunday After Pentecost ife is unpredictable. Rarely does a day pass without someone or something interrupting our best L laid plans. We look forward to days without worry and

nights that are peaceful. Then, suddenly and without our permission, we are jolted into the realm of the unknown and the unexpected. We strive to be safe and secure, but we have no assurance that tragedy will not strike without warning. Psalm 23 is no doubt the world’s most-loved Psalm. The helpless image of sheep who want to stray from the flock and their need for protection by an ever-present and always-watchful shepherd gives us comfort and calmness. We all need and want that kind of shepherd. It gives hope and assurance that we will never be left alone during the dark hours of life and that we will never have to face dangerous valleys or dimly lit pathways by ourselves. In this Psalm, David presents a picture of God that reveals his love, his loyalty and his presence. As long as we live we can say he is our shepherd - not a shepherd or someone else’s shepherd, but our very own shepherd who watches over every step we take. And finally, when we are face to face with the certainty of death after the uncertainties of life, we know that he is, not might be, but actually is with us as we pass through the dark valley of death and enter into eternity where we will enjoy his presence forever.

William F. “Bud” Mackay William F. Mackay, longtime resident of Waukesha, Wis., passed away while chip carving on Monday, Aug. 18, 2014, at the age of 80. Bud was born in Cumberland, Wis., on Dec. 30, 1933, a son of John F. and Fena (Strathman) Mackay. He was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church since 1959, and was active in PTA and Scouting. Bud went to a one-room grade school, Woodside, in Comstock, Wis. His family moved to Minneapolis, Minn., in 1945, and while in junior high school he took a class in chip carving. Chip carving was his passion, and it became the last activity of his life. The family returned to Barronett in 1947, and he graduated from Shell Lake High School, Shell Lake, Wis. Bud married Avon La Rue on July 21, 1950. She died on Oct. 16, 2001. Bud worked at Starline Manufacturing Company as a tool designer for 42 years, retiring in 2008. William will be dearly missed by his lady friend, Nancy Blackman, who taught him to never postpone joy; his children, Jeanne (William) Prue, Kerry (Terry) Mackay, Kathy (Bill) Rankin, Christopher Mackay, Jef-

frey (Megan) Mackay, Timothy (Kate), and Steven (Toni) Mackay; by too many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren to count; and sisters Delores (Marty) Sogge, Patty Middelton and Catherine (Roger) Redetzke. He will be sorely missed by the Steaming Cup Early Morning Social Club. Funeral services were held Aug. 24 at Cesarz, Charapata & Zinnecker Funeral Home, Waukesha. The Rev.

Sarona

by Marian Furchtenicht

Quite a week weatherwise. All week it was foggy, humid and hazy with a little rain off and on. Small grains in the area are beyond ready for harvest almost but need some drier weather for it. As I was passing by I noticed the sunflowers are looking good along CTH B. Makes for lots of bird food. Geese are starting to flock. Days are getting shorter and Town and Country Days are coming up on the final weekend of the summer vacation before school starts. Time sure flies when you’re having fun. Gloria Frey enjoys watching the bats come out of their bat house in the evenings. I counted seven little tree frogs on my window and screen door Sunday night. They were all sizes. Hummers are active at the flowers and feeders, fueling up for their migration in a couple of weeks. It’s the last big weekend before it’s back to school, ready or not. And Town and Country Days in Shell Lake, so there’s lots of things going on. Friday night our own Kevin McMullin’s Duck for the Oyster stage show is at the Erika Quam Theatre at 7:30 p.m., just following the Shell Lake Lions Club fish fry. Last Saturday, the Shell Lake Class of 1979 celebrated at Lakeview and then on to Becky’s for their 35th reunion. A total of 30 people attended, 19 of them being classmates. Mostly from the area and also the Twin Cities area. Joanne Duch Lechnir and Roger Furchtenicht were among them. Jon, Joanne and Kyle Lechnir recently took a trip to the state of Washington and took in the beautiful mountain and water scenery. They traveled to Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helen’s, and the Quinault Rain Forest in Olympia National Park and spent some time in the city of Seattle and in Vancouver, Canada. They enjoyed a ferry ride out to San Juan Island and spent time on the coast at Cannon Beach, Owen Beach and Long Beach. Kyle got to put to use his recent certification for scuba diving in the ocean. Their son, Peter, joined them from New York for a few days. Report a fun trip. Elfreda West, Mavis Schlapper and I went together to the fifth-annual Camp Valhalla Rendezvous BBQ held at Roger Nielsen and Vicki Gee-Treft’s cabin on Harmon Lake Road, Sarona on Saturday afternoon, with a

big group attending. Lots of food with the pulled pork and hot dogs and dishes to pass. Live music was by the Randal Bruce Band and Gary Nielsen, Roger’s brother, sitting in. Roger is a painter and artist and has lots of antiques and has a very interesting place. This was the first time I attended and I made some new friends. I had a nice visit with Joanne Englund, Barronett, a relative of the Oddens from Timberland. Last Saturday, Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman attended the wedding for cousin Laurie Hrdlicka and Mitch Lafferty held at their house in Haugen. Congratulations to the newlyweds. Saturday, Renee and Marilyn, Janet Zimmerman and Marlene McGriffen attended the open house for nephew Kris Zimmerman at this new home in Bruce. He is the son of Ken and Luanne Zimmerman of Spooner. Wishing him the best in his new house. Jan Johnston had folks, Anton and Gloria Frey, and Pete and Ben Frey, over for supper and did a turkey breast in the Big Green Egg cooker/smoker. It turned out very good, Gloria said. Sandi Vogt reports she went to the Spooner Ag Research Center to their garden tour on Tuesday to see the flowers, veggies, shrubs and fruit trees, ate some fresh salsa, listened to good music, enjoyed the booklets with lots of interesting info on gardening tips for this area. Saturday she went to the Spooner Garden Club fall plant sale and bought some of those same plants and has them planted already. Dick and Marie King’s garage building is progressing. The footings are in. Nancy Swanson mentioned the Shell Lake Lions Club fish fry is coming up Friday, Aug. 29, 4:30-7:30 p.m. at the Shell Lake Community Center for Town and Country Days. They will serve whitefish from Lake Superior. A Celebration of Life is planned for Wanda Rux at the Rux cabin in the woods in West Sarona on Sept. 20. Wanda passed away Feb. 12 in Mausten. So neighbors and friends, put that on your calendar. There is no church service at the Sarona Methodist Church on Sunday, Aug. 31. They will be joining the Shell Lake Methodist and other Shell Lake churches at the service held at the lakefront for Town and Country

Days. Russ and Corey Furchtenicht went on the annual motorcycle ride with 20 other farmers and visited farms in the New Richmond area. Cargill sponsored this. They cooked steaks and had a nice dinner. Corey Furchtenicht took his dad flying a couple of days ago, looking at crops from above. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht and grands Jillian and Jaxson took in the Ag-Star picnic and the Hydro Flights water show in Chetek last Saturday. Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht, Jillian and Jaxson attended Dusty Marker’s wedding at Elk Mound on Saturday afternoon. Craig Furchtenicht and fiancée Sarah Jamme’, along with her folks, took in the air show in Duluth on Saturday. Grandson Casey and I took in the Twilight Garden Tour at the experimental farm on Tuesday evening. It was very nice and interesting. Beautiful plots of veggies and flowers. Sunday I went along with daughter Mary Marschall to a baby shower for Shannon Ullom held at the Masonic Lodge in Rice Lake. I had a nice visit with Shannon and grandma Pat Drost, sister-in-law of the late Frenchy Roeser. The best is wished for Shannon and Tony on their new baby boy to be. Happy birthday wishes to Jerry Gronning and Jessie Baxter on Aug. 28; Larry Shockley, Jane Fitzpatrick and Shirley Pohlman, Aug. 29; Laurie Frey, Cheri Lyga, Tia Halverson, Edward Smith, Jessica Irvine and Melinda Coulter, Aug. 30; Amanda Zaloudek, Charlotte Ross and Maddie West on Aug. 31; Ellen Wagner, Gene Kaston, Christi Reiten and Tammy Dennis, Sept. 1; Mary Fate, Kierra Fox and Allan Sather, Sept. 2; Aurora Pollei, Dennis Wood, Julie McCann and Kenny Anderson, Sept. 3. Have a great one. Couples with anniversaries this week are Jack and Kathy Dahlstrom and David and Mary Halverson, Aug. 28; Curt and Margie Johnson, Aug. 30; Jay and Ann Okonek and Tom and Jeanne Glessing, Sept. 2; and John and Delores Zaloudek and Randy and Lynda Myer on Sept. 3. Happiness is wished for all.

Heart Lake

by Helen V. Pederson

It was a foggy Monday morning with temps in the 70s. The sun came out about 9 a.m. and it was clear again. It must have rained as we had a puddle in the parking lot. On Saturday, Brent and Toni Saffert were supper guests of Mary and John Marschall and then they enjoyed visiting around a campfire. On Sunday, Mary Marschall went to a baby shower for Tony and Shannon Ullom in Rice Lake. Lillian Ullom woke up short of breath and felt miserable on Sunday, but recovered as the day progressed. Our thoughts are with you. Jeff Pederson attended the wedding, reception and dance of Dustin Marker and Theresa Hanson in Eau

Dewey Country

sons attended from Madison, Minneapolis, Amherst and Shell Lake. Megan and Dustin will be married in Amherst on Oct. 25. She is the daughter of Tim and Sue (Quam) Pederson of Amherst. Town and Country Days will be held this next weekend. Plan to attend. Church service by all of the Shell Lake area churches will be held at the pavilion on Sunday, Aug. 31, at 10 a.m. Bring a blanket or chair to sit on. All kookies aren’t in a jar. Keep cool!

wonderful day you two. Happy birthday to Paula Cramer on her special day, Sept. 1, and also to Chuck Russell on Sept. 1. Have a great one. A very happy anniversary to Dan and Kayla Smith as they enjoy their special day together on Sept. 3. We finally got that much-needed rain this past week. Yes, and the corn stands so straight and tall and the beans look great, too. Farmers are busy putting up thirdcrop hay. On Thursday, professor Craig Smith came to see me. Craig was on a week’s vacation at his home here in Dewey Country. He has been attending meetings for the AVM amongst others. Craig tells us there are about 105,000 vets in the United States. Did anyone see the beautiful sunrise last Thursday morning? It was really pretty and the east was all red and around. I hadn’t seen one this pretty. Jennie-O’s filled son Richy’s sheds this past week. Yes, they brought nearly 25,000 turkeys at 7 weeks and Richy will raise them until they are 22 weeks old. On Monday, Penny and Jeff Ladd took a course in CPR at their school. Tuesday found Penny working with driver’s ed kids who had missed a day or didn’t pass their test or didn’t complete their work and turn it in. Wednes-

day and Thursday Penny and Jeff had in-service days. Last Friday afternoon, Penny, Ree and Ry were at Paula Cramer’s cabin, staying overnight and going home on Saturday. Tuesday evening Diane Hulleman attended the town board meeting. The board is doing some landscaping and going to put in shrubs at the town hall. Jack and Ginny Schnell and their grandson, Jackson, were at Diane’s on Saturday. Last Monday Diane went to Terraceview and they made homemade refrigerator pickles and cowboy caviar. Wednesday Diane took Dakota to Terraceview Living Center for their picnic, which Diane tells us was great. Diane works with Dakota for the confirmation class. Confirmation will be Sept. 15. Alecia Knoop will also be confirmed with Connie Quam as her sponsor. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Gordon Lauder who passed away this week. Funeral service is pending. Saturday at Becky’s Food and Spirits, Megan Pederson was the honored guest at a wedding shower. There were a lot of relatives and friends there. They served a delicious lunch, I’m told. Megan will marry Dustin Ziemann on Oct. 25 at Peace Lutheran Church in Amherst. On Sunday evening, we had tornado watches out for Burnett County and a number of other counties. We certainly don’t need another tornado as we had one in 2001. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

by Judy Pieper

Summer is flying past this year. The kids will be going back to school soon, some this week, and some next week. Cumberland’s 2014 Rutabaga Fest is now a thing of the past. Shell Lake’s Town and Country Days will be held this weekend, Aug. 29-30. The garden is producing veggies faster than we can get them picked. Fall is coming, my favorite season. Curt and Mary Kay Hefty came down from Anchorage, Alaska, for a visit this past week. Curt attended a get-together at Skiddie’s with former Cumberland High School classmates on Friday. Mary Kay spent a lot of time visiting with her mom, MayDeen Farr, at Cumberland ECU. Of course, they both had lots of time left over to visit with other family and friends. The corn boil at First Lutheran on Thursday was a great way to start off the Rutabaga Fest weekend. We went early, and the dining hall was filled almost to capacity. A lot of the residents of Cumberland ECU came over. I think there must have been about 16 of them and Curt and Mary Kay sat at their table with MayDeen. The members of First Lutheran who were greeting guests and serving food made everyone feel welcome and made sure we had plenty to eat. The coleslaw was, without a doubt, the best I have ever eaten. And, of course, the corn was delicious. The only thing missing was a spool of dental floss for everyone. Actually, I should have brought my own along. I know it’s hard to eat corn on the cob neatly. The Rutabaga Festival was fantastic. The only problem with going is the fact that we always overeat. The first thing we do is head for the Knights of Columbus booth and grab a hot pepper sandwich. Then, of course, we have to have pie and ice cream from St. Paul’s Lutheran, several times during the weekend. And, the best part is that we get to visit with so many people. Cumberland really does have the best parade in the area. The military veterans are always the very first to pass by, proudly displaying the flags, then the Boy Scouts, then the emergency vehicles making lots of noise with their sirens. I’m not sure how many high school marching bands there were, but they were all great. Hard to beat Cumberland marching band, but the other schools came pretty close. And, instead of girls twirling batons, they all have flags that they wave, throw and twirl now. It looks very pretty. There were lots of floats with girls dancing to music and waving. My favorite this year was the car carrying the winners of the Dairy Queen contest. You probably guessed that’s because our adorable little great-granddaughter, Tru Lehmann, won the Dairy Queen contest this year. Spooner Rodeo Queen Savanna Quinn, and Princess McKayla Olson, rode their horses through the parade and looked very pretty while waving, and promoting the Spooner Rodeo. And Miriah Lehmann, Miss Rodeo Wisconsin 2014, rode a magnificent palomino through the parade, smiled a lot, and looked exquisite while promoting the PRCA. I probably don’t have to tell you that I snapped a few pictures of them. Jerry and Carol Hefty, Curt Hefty, Sue Meier, Richard Pieper, Delores Schultz, Duane and I all gathered to-

gether to watch the parade, and, naturally went for more pie and ice cream afterward. On Saturday our whole family, including quite a few from southern Wisconsin and Minnesota, gathered at White’s Wildwood Resort in Chippewa Falls to attend the wedding of our grandson, Garett Thon, and Kandice Bonander. Kandice was absolutely lovely in her lacy white gown. Garett looked very handsome, and a little nervous, in his tux, of course, but on the wedding day no one notices the groom very much. It’s all about the lady in white. Kandice’s sister, Erin, officiated, and the ceremony was very moving and beautiful. Garett’s little nieces, Kaitlynn and Jessica, were flower girls. They took the job of scattering flower petals very seriously and took their time making sure there were petals all the way down the aisle. They will be 4 years old in September, and are the cutest little things. Lynn Thon, the mother of the groom, made all the jewelry for the bridesmaids. The dinner was catered by Justin Olson of the Rolling Oaks in Barron and was delicious. Olivia Marsh made and decorated about 200 little cake balls for the occasion. The flowers, most of which I picked from Nancy Forrestal’s garden, were beautiful. The wedding day was great. We thought a few times we might get rained on, but the weather stayed dry and we all had a wonderful time celebrating with the happy newlyweds. We all wish Garett and Kandice many years of marital bliss. The Shell Lake Town and Country Days will be held this weekend, and there will be lots of stuff to do. There are horse and tractor pulls, a triathlon, volleyball tournament, arts and crafts fair, live music and dancing, kids’ games, pancake breakfast and lots of other things to do. In other words, something for everyone. Stop by and join the fun. Savanna Marsh will be graduating from basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., this Friday and will be home just in time for our Labor Day family get-together in Hayward. Her dad, mom and sister, Jerry, Tammy and Sanara, will be traveling to Fort Jackson to attend her graduation ceremony. We are all very proud of Savanna, and plan to have a welcome-home party for her in Hayward on Friday evening. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you enjoyed the Rutabaga Fest, and that you’ll be able to take in some of the Town and Country Days events. See you next time.

Stone Lake by Mary Nilssen

The gardens are really starting to produce lots of goodies. The tomatoes, cukes, etc., are what we have been waiting for all summer. And I have actually run out of new ideas to use zucchini. I have sautéed, baked, made salsa and bread. Any new ideas out there you would like to share? The Stone Lake Area Historical Society would like to add another item to their wish list ... a small window air conditioner.
