The northern lights that were seen in Shell Lake and surrounding areas during the night of Monday, June 22, and early Tuesday morning, June 23, were part of the result of a large solar flare from the sun. Some say it’s the largest solar storm since 2005. This explains the visibility of the northern lights, which occurred because of the charged particles from the sun as they entered earth’s atmosphere. — Photo by Jackie Cortopassi

SHELL LAKE — The annual Fourth of July boat parade, started by John Frischmann several years ago, will be held again this year on Shell Lake. The parade will begin at noon near Rolphs Point. — submitted ••• STATEWIDE – Show some respect! It seems every year around this time there seems to be a contest for who can disrespect the American flag in a new way. There are standards of respect for displaying the Flag, called The Flag Code. Here are some highlights of that code: • The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal. • The flag should not be used as a drapery, or for covering a speakers desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general. • The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. • When carried in a procession, the flag should be to the right of the marchers. When other flags are carried, the flag of the United States may be centered in front of the others or carried to their right. When the flag passes in a procession, or when it is hoisted or lowered, all should face the flag and salute. • To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart.

Washburn County man publishes a Civil War-inspired story Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — “There are 36 names of Civil War soldiers on the veterans memorial in Spooner, but they probably weren’t even from here because Spooner wasn’t even here until 1879,” said Pete Hubin. Hubin recently selfpublished his seventh book, titled “The Plume,” a Civil War love story. “The Civil War was very expensive and it was causing huge amounts of debt, in fact, in the end 875,000 Americans lost their lives in the Civil War,” said Hubin. The historical fiction tells several stories, one of love, of a nation in turmoil, and the impact those times had on the people. Hubin combined his personal interest in the history of the Civil War with that of fictional characters to bring that time to life. The book centers around two characters: WalAuthor Pete Hubin. — File photo

Personnel committee reviews alleged harassment SPOONER — On Tuesday, June 23, the Spooner Board of Education Personnel Committee met in closed session to review claims of harassment. Personnel committee Chair Randy McQuade and committee members Christina Martin and Clay Halverson addressed each claim. Other board members present were John Hedlund, Robert Hoellen and Paul Goellner. “We began our review with individual conversations,” said McQuade. “We will move forward with follow-up questions so that we can get to the bottom of these claims.” “I appreciate those who have come forward,” said Martin. “The board takes these claims seriously and plans to move forward with a thor-
ough review so that we can assess the facts.” “The board is committed to addressing claims of harassment,” said Halverson. “We aim to find the truth.” Board Policy 511 states that, “The board shall meet with the concerned parties and their representatives within 15 days of receipt,” and that a, “copy of the board’s disposition … shall be sent by the board secretary to each concerned party within 10 business days of this meeting by certified mail.” The personnel committee continued their review during a closed session meeting Thursday, June 25. — from SASD

WHA applauds Supreme Court decision to uphold insurance help MADISON — The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold premium subsidies in states that are utilizing the federally run insurance marketplace was good news for Wisconsin residents. “We are pleased with this decision, which means 166,000 people in Wisconsin will not lose the tax credits that help them afford health-insurance coverage,” said Wisconsin Hospital Association President/CEO Eric Borgerding. “The loss of premium assistance would most certainly have triggered a large increase in the number of uninsured. The disruption to our health-care system and broader insurance markets would have been substantial.” Borgerding said thousands of people in Wisconsin who were previously uninsured, or who were made ineligible for Medicaid, connected with health-insurance coverage on the federal exchange, also known as Healthcare Marketplace. The subsidies reduced the monthly cost of buying insurance on the exchange to an average of $125 per month in Wisconsin. “The King versus Burwell case has created much uncertainty for health-care providers, insurers and consumers,” Borgerding said. “Hospitals and health
systems across the state have worked hard to assist individuals in connecting with coverage on the exchange. We are pleased the high court’s decision provides a level of assurance to our members and their patients who have access to some of the highest-quality patient care in the nation.” Without the premium subsidies, a significant portion of Wisconsin’s strategy for reducing the number of uninsured would have been dismantled. Absent a legislative fix at either the federal or state level, thousands of people could have become uninsured. That’s the exact opposite of what Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin lawmakers intended when they adopted a hybrid approach to coverage expansion in 2013. That plan included expanding Medicaid eligibility for those whose incomes fall below 100 percent of the federal poverty level, $11,670/year, and eliminating Medicaid eligibility for those above 100-percent FPL. Under Wisconsin’s plan, the 60,000 people who lost their Medicaid coverage would be able to purchase low-cost, subsidized health coverage on the exchange. And today, they still can. — from WHA
Civil War story/from page 1 ter and his love interest Florence, both Wisconsin natives. The two meet after Walter, a member of the 6th Wisconsin Iron Brigade, is injured at the battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. In the turmoil of war the pair lose contact but are reunited and continue on to enjoy a life of adventure and love together. “The Plume” is Hubin’s fourth book of historical fiction. He has also written two books about growing up near Shell Lake in Washburn County, one is “Barefoot Boy and Other Drivel” that recounts life in the 1940s. “Joy in the Journey” introduces his family history. “I couldn’t possibly do a book without
Betty,” said Hubin. Book writing is a labor of love, especially when the author selfpublishes, which Hubin has done with all seven books. Hubin writes all his books by pen and ink and his wife, Betty, types up “his scribblings” and gets them ready to be printed by a print shop. Hubin’s books are sold in 25 bookstores throughout Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois. Last year he and Betty attended 32 craft shows to share his stories with others. The Washburn County Register Office in the Lake Mall on 5th Avenue in Shell Lake also stocks Hubin’s books for purchase.

SUPERIOR — The Wisconsin Garden Club Federation recently presented Kevin Schoessow with its Bronze Award at the annual convention in Superior. This award is presented to a nonmember for exceptional and outstanding accomplishments in any field that advances Wisconsin Garden Club Federation objectives. Schoessow is the area agricultural development agent for University of Wisconsin Extension in Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn counties. He is charged with providing information and education to area farmers and in home and commercial agriculture, coordinating the Master Gardener Volunteer Program for the three counties and organizing field days and workshops. However, it is his management of the teaching and display garden at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station that led to his nomination for the Bronze Award. Schoessow’s work with the teaching and display garden meets the Bronze Award requirement for being recognized as “ a definite and stimulating influence within the state.” The garden is a culmination of 17 years of partnering with UW-Extension Master Gardener Volunteers and the University of Wisconsin Madison’s College of Agriculture
and Life Sciences Spooner Agricultural Research Station to develop and manage the site. The gardens are a living demonstration of what perennials and annuals are suitable for growing in zone 3. A portion of the area also houses a test garden for All-America Selection plants and was named the 2014 first-place winner in the National All-America Selections Landscape Design Contest for its Down-on-the-Farm garden. For more information and directions to the garden visit spooner.ars.wisc.edu/. According to Sylvia Lowell, outgoing WGCF president, the Wisconsin Garden Club Federation is a community of over 1,100 gardeners located in 46 clubs throughout the state. Its mission of providing education, resources and opportunities to promote and share the love of gardening, floral design and civic and environmental responsibility is clearly embodied by Schoessow’s work. The Spooner Garden Club nominated Schoessow for the award. The Spooner Garden Club, Bay Area Gardeners and Superior Garden Club are members of Wisconsin Garden Club Federation.

Letters to the editor Stop blaming Wisconsin’s failures on President Obama Gov. Walker’s response to the Supreme Court ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act was the following. “From the beginning, it was clear that Obamacare would fail the American people and this has proven to be true across the country and in Wisconsin.” Sen. Ron Johnson is quoted as saying the law has, “never been accepted by the American people.” To say never accepted by the people is wrong, it
has never been accepted by the Republican Party. It’s time to stop blaming Wisconsin’s failures on President Obama. The party that controls the Assembly, Senate, and governor are responsible for the destruction in Wisconsin. Cutting workers’ rights through Act 10 and cuts to public K-12 education are now at the forefront locally. The Wisconsin University System is also suffering drastic finan-
cial cuts. This destruction was covered in the spring of 2011 when people took to the streets and Capitol resisting the obvious agenda of the Republican Party. Public funds should be used only for public education. For the past month the party in control has been at an impasse as they try to pass a budget that will reduce taxes to their donors, fund a sports stadium for billionaire
owners, and borrow in the form of bonds into the future repairing our crumbling roads and bridges. All while avoiding the topic of the increased debt they campaigned so diligently to reduce and not leave for our grandchildren. Paul Johnson Washburn County Democrat Party Chair
Conservation Local Work Group meeting to be held Farmers, landowners, organizations and agencies encouraged to attend SIREN — The U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service in Wisconsin has announced the schedule for 2015 Local Work Group meetings. Twenty-one meetings will be held across Wisconsin in July and August to gather input and help set priorities for USDA conservation programs under the 2014 Farm Bill. The Local Work Group for Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn counties will be
held at the Burnett County Government Center on Thursday, July 9, from 1:303:30, p.m., Room 160. “Local Work Groups offer a seat at the table for interested individuals and groups to advise NRCS on how best to set priorities and locally implement conservation programs,” said Jimmy Bramblett, Wisconsin state conservationist. “Members are diverse, with an interest and focus on local agriculture and natural resource issues,” added Bramblett. Farmers representing a variety of crops and livestock raised within the local area, private woodland owners, representatives of agricultural and environmental organizations, and representatives of other
agriculture and natural resource agencies are welcome and should be represented. This year, LWGs will represent two or more counties grouped together by geography, similar land use, resources and type of agriculture. This will allow greater flexibility and access to funding for the groups. The main program discussed at the meetings will be the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, the primary federal conservation program for agricultural and forestlands. EQIP offers technical and financial assistance to help landowners with needed conservation practices for water quality, soil health, wildlife and other natural resources. As
of May, Wisconsin has received $19.6 million in EQIP funding for conservation practices this year. The program was reauthorized through 2019 in the federal Farm Bill, which was passed in February 2014. Local Work Group meetings are open to the public. Anyone interested in becoming a member and participating in LWGs should contact the NRCS District Conservationist in their county. If you wish to participate in the Local Work Group for Burnett, Sawyer, and Washburn counties please contact NRCS district conservationist Ron Spiering at 715-635-8228, ext. 3.— from NRCS
Your help is needed to have a summer of safety and save lives on Wisconsin roads Mark Gottlieb | Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation MADISON — You may have noticed the number of traffic fatalities being displayed on message signs along major roadways around the state. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is using this somber message to remind everyone that driving is the most dangerous activity most of us perform each day. Last year, Wisconsin had 496 traffic fatalities, which was the lowest number
of deaths and the first time below 500 fatalities since 1943. However, at the midway point of this year, traffic fatalities in Wisconsin are up significantly compared with the same period last year. This substantial increase in traffic deaths includes motorcyclists, pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as drivers and passengers in cars and trucks. To reverse this tragic trend, WisDOT is intensifying its traffic safety efforts. Along with other engineering improvements,
they will continue to add rumble strips to highways to help prevent drivers from crossing into oncoming lanes of traffic or running off the road. They will work diligently with our law enforcement partners to put more officers on the road for traffic safety enforcement in areas and at times when crashes are more likely to occur. They will maintain education and public outreach efforts to motivate motorists to make better decisions and take responsibility for their actions behind the wheel.
But WisDOT and our traffic safety partners also need your help to prevent crashes. As we enter the busy summer travel months, typically the months with the highest number of traffic fatalities, drivers are urged to buckle up, slow down, pay attention and drive sober. You also need to share the road with motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians. Above all, drive as if your life, and other lives, depended on it.
Don’t leave kids in the car SPOONER — Every year, 37 children in the U.S. die from heatstroke due to being in a parked car. It takes 10 minutes for a parked car’s temperature to climb 20 degrees. Even at an outside temperature of 60 degrees, the temperature inside your car can reach 110 degrees. A child dies when his/her body temperature reaches 107 degrees. Some children have been left in the car
because they were sleeping and the parent didn’t want to wake them up while they ran into the store for a few things. Others forgot that they had the child with them, which is more common when a daily routine is altered. Unlocked cars parked in the driveway have also proven to be a fatal attraction to toddlers who have crawled into them unnoticed. To prevent child deaths in parked cars,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends the following: • Never leave children by themselves in a car, even if you have the windows open or the air conditioning on. • Create reminders for yourself to check the backseat of the car, such as placing a briefcase or a purse in the back. • Ask the child-care provider to let you know if the child doesn’t show up at day
care as expected. • Keep car keys out of children’s reach and keep car doors locked; teach children not to play in the car. For more information, call the Washburn County Health Department at 715635-4400 or visit safercar.gov/parents/ index.htm. — from Washburn County Health Department

Area news at a glance RICE LAKE — Just two months after David W. Anderson opened his new concept in barbecue restaurant in downtown Hayward, Jimmie’s Old Southern BBQ Smokehouse is opening up a second restaurant in Rice Lake. Anderson, formerly known as Famous Dave, said he’s opening a restaurant in the Southridge Center near the intersection of CTH O and Main Street. Since Old Southern BBQ Smokehouse opened on Hwy. 63 just north of Main Street in Hayward on April 14, business has exceeded all expectations. “We’ve had lines out the door and several times we’ve sold out of our barbecue,” said Anderson. He stated that he still plans to build something at the former original Famous Dave’s property on Round Lake. The restaurant burned down Nov. 3, 2014, and subsequently the ruins were razed and cleaned up. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• MADISON – A white-tailed deer from a breeding farm in Eau Claire County has tested positive for chronic wasting

••• RICE LAKE — Damage to the Barron County Fairgrounds grandstand caused early Friday, June 12, could mean blocking off a portion of the grandstand for the upcoming fair July 15-19. “The damage is fairly severe, and certainly we have safety concerns,” said assistant fair manager Len Grygiel. Dominguez-Mazo, 50, Aguirre, Puerto Rico, was driving a semitrailer west on the Barron County Fairground roadway, which goes underneath the fairground grandstand, shortly after midnight. He was driving the truck for the George Carden Circus, which was in town the day before. Posted signs where he was driving stated, “Low clearance 13 feet,” because of overhead support beams. “It was an accident, maybe he didn’t realize that the grade of the ground underneath the grandstand goes up a little bit, said Grygiel. The $450,000 loan to build the grandstand was recently paid off, said Grygiel. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype

The 7-year-old Eau Claire County doe, which died on the farm, was one of about 167 deer reported to be on the 12acre farm, according to the farm’s March 2015 registration. Samples were taken from the doe on June 8 in accordance with Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection’s rules, which require testing of farm-raised deer and elk when they die or are killed. McGraw quarantined the Eau Claire County herd, which stops movement of live deer from the property, except to slaughter. Disposition of the remaining deer will depend upon the outcome of the investigation.

Guidelines for using an atmospheric steam canner for home food preservation SPOONER — The University of Wisconsin has published research that indicates that an atmospheric steam canner may be safely used for canning naturally acid foods such as peaches, pears and apples, or acidified foods such as salsa or pickles, as long as all of the following criteria are met: • Foods must be high in acid, with a pH of 4.6 or below. Either a boiling-water canner or an atmospheric steam canner can be used to safely preserve foods high in acid. • A research tested recipe developed for a boiling-water canner must be used in conjunction with the atmospheric steam canner. Approved recipes can be found in Extension publications fyi.uwex.edu/ safepreserving/ or from the National
Center for Home Food Processing and Preservation: nchfp.uga.edu The booklet accompanying the atmospheric steam canner can’t be relied on to provide safe canning instructions. • Jars must be processed in pure steam at 212F. The canner must be vented prior to starting the processing time until a full column of steam appears. A full column of steam, 6-8 inches, should be observed venting from the hole(s) in the side of the canner during the entire timed process. Ideally, the temperature should be monitored with a thermometer placed in the vent port, but the placement of jars in the canner may make this difficult. Some appliances come with a built-in temperature sensor in the dome lid and these appear to be accurate.
• Jars must be heated prior to filling, filled with hot liquid (raw or hot pack), and cooling must be minimized prior to processing. An atmospheric steam canner may be used with recipes approved for half pint, pint or quart jars. • Processing time must be modified for elevation. When processing at elevations over 1,000 feet, processing time is extended by five minutes. Roughly 40 percent of the state of Wisconsin is at elevation over 1,000 feet. Elevation for any address can be checked here: daftlogic. com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude. htm. • Processing time must be limited to 45 minutes or less, including any modification for elevation. The processing time is limited by the amount of water in
the canner base. When processing food, the canner should not be opened to add water. Regulate heat so that the canner maintains a temperature of 212F. A canner that is boiling too vigorously can boil dry within 20 minutes. If a canner boils dry, the food is considered underprocessed and therefore potentially unsafe. • Cooling of jars must occur in still, ambient air. Cooling is important for safety. Jars should be cooled on a rack or towel away from drafts. Jars should not be placed in the refrigerator to hasten the cooling process. Questions?

What is your legacy? SHELL LAKE — The Washburn County Historical Society is committed to preserving the past for future generations, and you can be a part of that legacy. In 1980, Volumes 1 and 2 of the Historical Collections of Washburn County were created with stories about the lives of people that are no longer with us, but their families are and their stories live on. Since then more stories were collected, creating Volumes 3, 4 and 5. Today, they have started collecting stories from people like
you for Volume 6, and need your help. If your family has an interesting story to tell that should be included in Volume 6, please contact Sharon Tarr at 715-635-2486 or by email to remembering44@yahoo. com. That is the exciting part of this project. Unfortunately the cost to collect, write and publish these valuable books is far greater than what people are willing to pay. But with your support, your history won’t be lost.

Mary B. Olsen | Special to the Register SPOONER — Again this year, seven visiting spirits of the past will gather together to tell their life stories. For the past several years the human actors have performed at the pavilion in the lakefront park in Shell Lake, but this time, they will gather at the UW-Ag Research Station on Hwy. 70, in Spooner, due to road construction on Hwy. 63 in Shell Lake. This event is sponsored by the Washburn County Historical Society. There is no charge. Actors are volunteers interested in bringing awareness of our past to the younger generations. Everyone is invited to attend and learn of the past and the impact of those who came before us. Unlike the cemetery walks presented by many historical groups, this event can be attended indoors, for the convenience of the living. The event will be at 7 p.m., Monday, July 27. Mark your calendar for this one-time presentation. The seven historical people from the past are portrayed by the actors who appeared in the play last year except for two changes. The ghost visitors are Dr. Joseph P. Cox, Mrs. Beatrice (Durand) Derrick, Alfred Dubois, George W. Harmon, Sen. Holger B. Rasmusen, Mrs. Holger (Pearl) Rasmusen and Mrs. Augie (Ruby) Sorensen.
Open mic at The Dock Coffee SPOONER — There’s an open mic at the new coffee shop in Spooner, The Dock Coffee, located at 218 Elm St. The next open mic will be held Thursday, July 9. Sign-up is at 6 p.m. with music from 6:30-9 p.m. Organized by local fiddler Carol McDowall, this is a traditional acoustic open mic where musicians take turns in the spotlight playing solo or with one other musician of their choice. Participants are encouraged to try out new music they have written or the old tried-andtrue pieces they are comfortable with. The Dock has a perfect atmosphere to play music or to come and listen to music. For more information call McDowall at 715-416-0489. — from The Dock

Celebrating our independence
W
ith the Fourth of July falling on Saturday this year, many businesses, including the Register, will be observing the holiday with a day off on Friday, July 3. July 3 is Shell Lake’s day to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day. This year’s entertainment for the street dance is the Tommy Bentz Band. They will be playing a mix of blues and rock from the late ‘60s and ‘70s. At dusk, fireworks will light up the sky.
On the Fourth of July, the 13th-annual Shell Lake Fine Arts Festival will take place and the traditional Washburn County Historical Society pie and ice-cream social will be held. Just as the city of Shell Lake has traditions to celebrate America’s Independence Day, many families have their own traditions, too. Maybe you plan to spend the day at a lake, soaking in the sun, dipping in a cool, refreshing body of water. Maybe you will do some grilling or perhaps pack a picnic. Perhaps your tradition is to have a family camping trip that involves a variety of outside activities.
On this Fourth of July, will you be sitting along the edge of a street watching a parade of floats? Many floats will be proudly showcasing the American flag. Do you plan to look into the darkened sky to view the bursts of color as a fireworks display is presented? Whatever events you have planned for this summer holiday, may it be a relaxing and very safe time to enjoy doing your favorite things and eating your favorite foods with your favorite people. As a side note: Do you know what one flag said to the other flag? Nothing. It just waved.

could have fireworks. You needed some money, but they were pretty cheap. If you earned money running errands or picking strawberries, you could buy a nice assortment. Caps were nice. If you didn’t have a cap gun, like the cowboy guns of the Wild West, you could fire your caps by pounding them with a rock on the sidewalk. The firecrackers made quite a bit of noise, which was our goal. The big firecrackers made a bigger noise. My brothers and their friends liked to set off firecrackers to surprise people or scare them. You learned to throw the firecrackers quickly, so that when you lit them they wouldn’t go off in your hand. Our fireworks were mostly harmless. There must have been problems with them. They were banned in some states, except for specialists, and after that we could only have smoke bombs and sparklers. We always remembered the fun we had in those days and then we had to sit still and listen while others set off the noisy fireworks. Now, in the magazines and cookbooks, I find elaborate cakes, frosted to look like flags, and cookies shaped like stars, with red and white stripes. Some cakes are frosted and decorated with strawberries and blueberries, combined with white to resemble a flag. They do a lot with salads, and deviled eggs, and angel food cakes, probably because some of us like to act like devils and/or angels at times, even on holidays. How we celebrate doesn’t really matter, just that we remember the beginning of our nation on this occasion. There may be a lot of flag waving and patriotism displayed, but that’s why we celebrate this holiday. The food, the family and the fireworks make fond memories for our children.

Thank you to Beth Ranallo and her “helpers” from Barronett Bar & Grill for hosting a wonderful benefit for us in February, and to Barb Tschida and “crew” from Nezzy’s for the great benefit they hosed in April, as well as individuals and businesses that contributed to these functions. For friends and family who were kind enough to bring food to the house, as well as gift certificates from area businesses, thank you.

or some reason, holidays always mean food and all the activities that include eating together with family and friends. It may mean traditional gatherings around a dining table, but the kind of holiday celebration I especially enjoy is in the summertime celebrating the Fourth of July at an old-fashioned picnic. There are often formal picnics, like those for a church group or with fellow workers or for a political party or union. These are something I do not consider a real picnic. They are socials and not often held on the holiday. The real picnics, the kind I always like, are the casual type. When my kids were growing up we always had chores to do and a person could get very tired working on a hot day. Especially garden work or haying. When the work was all done, someone might say, “Let’s have a picnic.” I could put together some simple foods to pack up and put in the car. If I had already planned a pot of chili, that could go along and would only need heating for a few minutes; or a salad, chips, a couple of cans of beans and some liquid refreshments like bottles or cans of pop or a pitcher of lemonade. Almost everything, simple fare families usually have at home, can be eaten at a picnic table, or set out on a blanket on the ground. Some people go to great lengths to prepare picnic foods, but I have never been in that crowd. I like to keep it simple, relax and enjoy a family outing. The kids get to cool off and we all recuperate. Sometimes people enjoy outdoor cooking, grills are used, meats are marinated beforehand and vegetables
sliced and prepared to put on the grill. I commend these folks who can do this kind of cooking. I realize much preparation goes into these elaborate meals, but I still prefer casual picnics, the less time involved in the cooking, the better. Outdoor grilling always means waiting for things to cook. I like no waiting, no muss and no fuss. When we had picnics we would grab our swimsuits and fishing gear, a couple of towels, and a blanket to sit on at the beach, and head for the lake. Our emphasis, if there was any planned, would have been on getting cool in the water and enjoying a late-afternoon sunset to celebrate our day. This would still be my choice, but the Fourth of July is not just for picnics. There were always certain places to go to observe a display of fireworks. It was where you met old friends doing the same thing. Maybe the fireworks were short and noisy, but the time spent settling in to a spot where your family waited for the darkness was always delightful, and precious. I remember having small children at these gatherings, and trying to comfort them when the fireworks started and they cried because of the terrible noise that hurt their tender ears. The little boys, as they grew older, cheered the aerial bombs and rockets zooming off, and we never stopped attending these social events. Our picnic food for the Fourth of July always included burgers or hot dogs, potato salad and watermelon for dessert. We might roast hot dogs and marshmallows if we had a campfire. Other dishes, and cakes or pies, and sweet corn on the cob might be our choice. It’s easier to clean up after a picnic than at home with dishes to wash. You just gather up your mess and leave the place like you found it. Our holiday, back when I was still a child, meant kids

Illustrating Books class part of summer school
Julia Lyga | Cub Reporter, Shell Lake Summer School SHELL LAKE — Students are working intently on their butterfly watercolor paintings in Ms. Stich’s Illustrating Books summer school class at Shell Lake. In this class, students have the opportunity to explore the different forms of art that are found in picture books, and make their own book in the process. These bright kids may just be the next generation of authors and illustrators.

Northwood among schools chosen for ACP pilot program academic and career-exploration activities that will prepare students for the future. The 25 public school districts selected for the Academic and Career Planning
629888 46r
MADISON — Educators in school districts from across Wisconsin will work with students and their families during the coming school year to help them plan
pilot program during the 2015-16 school year will use various resources to provide students and their families with the information they need to make informed choices for education, training and careers. Northwood School of Minong is among the 25 schools chosen. The academic and career planning initiative honors all postsecondary routes, including military, apprenticeship, certification, technical college and university education, and recognizes that people often move in and out of different routes throughout their lives as needed. “The academic and career planning process will help to support the great work already taking place in our public schools through our top-notch teachers,” said state Superintendent Tony Evers. The academic and career planning initiative will provide web-based software that school districts may use as well as guidance, training and technical assistance on how to implement academic and career planning services to students in grades six through 12. There were 61 school districts that applied to participate in the ACP pilot program. The 25 selected districts represent rural, suburban and urban areas of varying size, with at least one district located in each of the state’s 12 cooperative educational service agency distrticts. Within the pilot school districts, 33 high schools, 31 middle schools, and
five grade schools will actively participate. The pilot districts and schools will be expected to implement ACP practices and processes and serve as models as all districts in the state begin providing academic and career planning services. As part of the pilot process, schools will be able to collaborate with other educators to shape the ACP rollout statewide, gain access to professional development resources and guidance from national experts, and get a first look at the software designed to help guide the ACP process. State law requires every school board to provide ACP services to all students in grades six through 12 by the 2017-18 school year. ACPs are a part of the state superintendent’s Agenda 2017, which is focused on having all Wisconsin students graduate from high school college and career ready. Other schools chosen for the pilot program are Appleton, Arrowhead UHS, Baldwin-Woodville, Barron, Beloit, Chetek-Weyerhaueser, Darlington, Edgar, Elkhorn, Milwaukee, Mishicot, Monticello, New Berlin, Northland Pines, Osseo-Fairchild, Pewaukee, Port Washington-Saukville, Waunakee, West Allis, Poynette, Wausaukee, West Bend, Wisconsin Rapids and Wonewoc-Union Center. - from Wisconsin DPI

Despite mission changes MADISON — By the time the 950th Engineer Company left for Afghanistan late last year, the unit had spent 15 months of drill and a three-month deployment train-up preparing to clear improvised explosive devices and other hazards from the country’s roads. As a route clearance company, the Superior-based unit expected to secure the key travel corridors that coalition forces use every day to move critical supplies, equipment and personnel throughout the region, and while part of the unit has conducted a route clearance mission, more than half of the unit is engaged in other missions. Since arriving in Afghanistan, more than half of the nearly 100-soldier unit was detached from its headquarters to conduct security operations in Kabul and Kandahar. One of the groups spends six days a week providing security for U.S. Air Force personnel and contractors training the Afghan air force. The other, in Kabul, provides round-the-clock force protection for their forward operating base and additional security for contractors and the Air Force. Both teams simultaneously provide frequent support on training flights, missions within Kabul and advising support alongside their Air Force brethren, according to Capt. Andrew Redd, the unit’s commander. Meanwhile, one of the 950th’s platoons remains engaged with its original route clearance mission. With more than 100 missions already completed, more than 4,000 kilometers of roads cleared and more than 4,500 interrogations of vulnerable areas, the 950th is making a lasting impact in Afghanistan. That platoon conducts an average of three to five missions per week. The 950th is also in charge of an active duty route clearance platoon. That operations tempo on top of a typical day that sees two teams on patrol in the area around Bagram Air Field, a security team in Kandahar and another in Kabul demonstrates the unit’s impact and versatility. Change has been the constant. Even the route clearance mission, which the 950th originally expected was to clear for convoys throughout all of Afghanistan as part of the drawdown of coalition

About 100 menmbers of the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 950th Engineer Company, headquartered in Superior, are deployed to Afghanistan, engaged in several missions. – Photo submitted forces in the region, morphed into support for training and patrols that keep coalition bases safe. Redd was extremely proud of the way his unit has adapted to all of the changes it has faced since arriving. He noted that the unit spent nearly all of its predeployment training preparing for a route clearance mission but was nonetheless excelling with its other assigned missions. “It basically falls within the general duties of all combat soldiers,” he said of the force protection mission. “Those two security detachments have had no issues performing their duties.” “My detachments in Kabul and Kandahar have for the most part been selfsufficient, and it is due to their leadership and ability to capably handle their mission without much guidance or supervision that we’ve been able to accomplish so much in Bagram and as a company,” Redd said. “I truly am grateful to have a flexible and professional company of soldiers.” He said the unit has implemented vast improvements in how route clearance is
conducted within the unit’s area of operations that he hopes will leave a lasting impact for future units that have the same mission. Likewise, he said, the detachments assigned to force protection have been hard at work developing new processes that have improved the overall security of their respective areas of responsibility. The soldiers are taking all of the mission changes in stride. Spc. Matthew Ringlien is on one of the force protection teams at an Afghan airfield. “Even though the mission is not what we would have liked, adapting to it has forced me to grow,” he said. “Also, I have met a lot of people and made a lot of connections that will stick with me for the rest of my life.” Pfc. Aaron Johnson, a combat engineer by trade, has spent the deployment providing armed overwatch for civilian contractors teaching the Afghan air force how to maintain different types of aircraft. “I am with a good group of guys, and I feel very lucky to be serving with them,”
he said. “We have all performed our duties well and have adapted to our new mission well.” He said June has ushered in triple-digit temperatures but the accommodations and gym facilities have exceeded expectations. He is also enjoying interacting with Afghan air force personnel and learning basic words and terms in their language. Spc. Andrew Hutton, a platoon medic, spends his days providing for the care and general well-being of the soldiers in his platoon. While on route clearance missions, he often lends a helping hand by looking for potential triggermen or signs of IEDs from his medevac vehicle as the unit conducts patrols. Hutton has been amazed by the support he and his fellow soldiers have received from home. “On the home front I have had plenty of support from friends and family, but what surprised me is how much mail I received from people I don’t even know and the support I have got from others,” he said. “It really is a humbling feeling.” “We’re drowning in care packages,” Redd confirmed. “The support from home has been tremendous and consistent.” The 950th has worked regularly with active duty Army units, other services and with coalition forces from the Czech Republic and Georgia during their deployment on partnered operations. Spc. Andrew Chammings, a driver, noted that working with the foreign soldiers has been a highlight of his time in Afghanistan. He said the sound of jets taking off every few hours, the threat of indirect fire and being away from family and friends has been the most challenging part of his deployment, but he knows that the life experiences and lessons he has learned along the way will only help him in his military career and in everyday life when he returns. The 950th left Wisconsin in October 2014 en route to Fort Bliss, Texas, where it conducted its premobilization training. The unit deployed to Afghanistan in late 2014 and is expected to return to the United States sometime this fall. — from Wisconsin Army and Air National Guard
American Yeoman is new Sarona brand Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SARONA — “The American yeoman is the small landowner that farms their own land,” said Scott Perlick. The Perlick family purchased the family’s original northwestern Wisconsin farmland in 1920. Five generations later that farm now encompasses about 3,000 acres, which yields corn, soybeans, wheat and sunflowers. The Perlicks are always looking for ways to add value to the crops they grow and opportunities to show people what modern agriculture really is. Converting a storage barn into a distillery and tasting room is for some an unconventional way to meet those goals. For the Perlicks, crafting a product from their crop was a dream they had discussed years before. “It was an opportunity to move back up here and make something of value from the crops that we produce,” said Scott. Previous to opening the distillery with his parents in May, Scott had no knowledge of liquor production. He was armed with a law degree, which helped them through the permitting process and the desire to make something of nothing. “What’s unique about it is we use four

ingredients: malt barley, wheat, water and yeast,” said Scott. American Yeoman vodka is distilled from hard red spring wheat grown by Tom Perlick. Scott does the distillation himself starting with the lengthy process of grinding the wheat. The water used in the distillation process is sourced from the same water that nourishes the Perlicks’ wheat crop and is regularly tested for quality. “It is easy to make a novelty… but we want to make a good product to keep people coming back,” said Scott. So far public reaction to the product has been good but Scott only hopes to increase that. American Yeoman can be purchased at the Perlick Distillery tasting room. Scott is hopeful that the product will hit liquor stores and bar shelves in the next couple of months. The Perlick Distillery tasting room is located at W5014 CTH B Sarona. Tasting room hours are Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Gun dealers support elimination of 48-hour waiting period Improved technology makes waiting period obsolete, says one dealer Rich Kremer | WPR News STATEWIDE - Gun dealers say dropping the state’s 48-hour waiting period for buying handguns will help business and won’t lead to increased gun violence. Wisconsin’s 48-hour waiting period for handgun purchases dates back to 1976. This week, with a stroke of his pen, Gov. Scott Walker dropped the 39-year-old
provision. The move was hailed by gun rights supporters and by local dealers as a positive step. Dave Madis, who owns Greater Midwest Mercantile in Eau Claire, said sales should pick up without the waiting period. “We lose a lot of business to people traveling. Especially being located in a university town, you might get some parents from places that are farther away like Appleton and Milwaukee,” he said. Madis also said that with improved technology, the 48-hour wait didn’t make a lot of sense.

Justice Gableman moves for state Supreme Court to reconsider appeal of former Walker aide Kelly Rindfleisch was convicted following John Doe investigation into Walker’s campaign activity

Doty won. Doty finally became Wisconsin’s territorial governor in 1841, where he tried and failed to lobby public support for statehood.
Gilman Halsted | WPR News MADISON - In an unusual move, a state Supreme Court justice is asking his colleagues to reconsider an appeal from a former aide to Scott Walker when he was Milwaukee county executive. Kelly Rindfleisch pleaded guilty in 2012 to misconduct in office for campaigning for Walker from her Milwaukee County workplace. She has since appealed the conviction, claiming the evidence used to convict her was gathered during an illegal search of her email. An appeals court rejected that argument, and in March the state Supreme Court declined to hear the case. However, now Justice Michael Gableman is asking the court to reconsider. Rindfleisch’s attorney said he’s both surprised and excited.

Erika Janik | WPR News STATEWIDE – On July 4, 1836, Wisconsin officially broke off from Michigan to become its own territory. Michigan was only one of several territories that the future Wisconsin had belonged to. It had been part of the original Northwest Territory, Indiana Territory, Illinois Territory and finally Michigan before becoming a territory in its own right once enough people had settled here. The above map from 1838 shows the settled parts of the territory with an inset of the entire Wisconsin territory Land speculator, judge, and all-around Wisconsin booster James Duane Doty led the effort to create the Wisconsin territory. Much to Doty’s chagrin, President Andrew Jackson appointed his rival Gen. Henry Dodge governor. Doty didn’t let this setback deter him in his quest to shape Wisconsin. Dodge’s new job came with responsibility for conducting a census, holding elections, and convening a territorial legislature in Belmont that would select a new capital. Doty purchased some land with a few partners on an isthmus where downtown Madison stands today. Doty then hired a

forward to is if the 2016 election turns out to have full Republican control in Congress. That seems to be the last hurdle for this health-care reform law,” he said. The case, King v. Burwell, has been under intense scrutiny ever since the Supreme Court announced it would hear it. Kraig believes that political debate running up to the final verdict has helped drum up support for the ACA. “This whole year of discussion of this case has actually changed the health-care debate, and it’s helped remind people why we need health-care reform in the first place,” said Kraig. “There needs to be a place for anyone to get affordable health care who needs it no matter what, that can’t be taken away no matter what.”
Scottie Lee Meyers | WPR News MADISON - Supporters of President Barack Obama’s health-care law say they’re relieved by the U.S. Supreme Court decision last Thursday, June 25, to uphold a key part of the law. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled the federal government can give subsidies to anyone participating in either federal or state exchanges. The case represents the second time the high court has backed the Affordable Care Act and sided with the Obama administration. “It’s a very significant decision because if this had gone the other way, it would have yanked health-care coverage away from millions of people, including 184,000 people here in Wisconsin,” said Robert Kraig, executive director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin. Republican presidential candidates were quick to condemn the court’s decision, including Gov. Scott Walker, who tweeted that the decision means his party “must redouble their efforts to repeal and replace this destructive and costly law.” After more than 50 votes in Congress to repeal or weaken the law, Kraig echoed Obama’s People rally outside the Supreme Court Building in Washington Thursday morning, June statement that “the Affordable 25. - Photo by Ted Eytan Care Act is here to stay.” “The only real thing to look

H
ave you ever met anyone who awakened in the morning and said, “Today is going to be horrible! I know it. I feel it. It’s in the air!” How discouraging. Yet there are some who say, “Today’s going to be the best day I’ve ever lived. I know God will be with me and bless me in all that I do.” Is there a formula for having good, God blest days? Apparently so. David said, “if you want to have good days,” do three things: 1. Keep your tongue from evil! That may be more difficult than it sounds. James said, “No human being can tame the tongue.” Perhaps the best way to start a “good day” would be to ask God to control our tongue and use it to encourage others and praise him. 2. Turn from evil and do good! Another way to have a good day is to ask God to make us sensitive to the temptations we are sure to face as the day unfolds. It was Jesus who encouraged us to pray, “Lead us not into temptation.” He knew that we would have to face temptation every day of our lives, so he advised us to ask for God’s help before we faced them. And don’t forget the words of Paul, “It is possible,” he said, “to escape temptation and avoid sin” if we call on God for help. 3. Seek peace and pursue it. This does not mean we are to surrender and avoid conflict. It means that we can enjoy peace in the midst of conflict if the conflict comes from being obedient to his word, doing his will and following the path he has set before us.

We have a new resident in the neighborhood. John Beland, who was residing in a small eastern Texas town, settled into a log cabin in rural Cumberland about three weeks ago. He is a familiar figure around here, as he’s been commuting to the area from Texas for the past two years. John has had a very long, successful and extremely interesting career. He has played guitar and toured with just about every musician and artist you can name. But, his life could have easily ended in disaster. Until he was 15 years old, John was raised in Hometown, Ill., a place that is still dear to his heart. When he was 16, his father was offered a job in California, and so the family packed up and moved to La Puente. John hated it! After just a few months, he would leave home in the morning, pretending to go to school, and hitchhike to Hollywood. He would return at about 4 in the afternoon and his parents were convinced he had been at school all day. After about 2-1/2 weeks of this deception, he was caught, kicked out of school, and sent to a continuation school. That was so bad that he left again and never went back. He hitchhiked north, and got a ride as far as the Los Angeles Skid Row. It was 2 a.m., and he was terrified. There were some pretty horrifying people walking the streets in the area. So he spent his last $10 and took a bus to Hollywood. That night he slept behind a dumpster outside the Capital Records building. When he woke up, he saw a bus parked by Capital Records, and there were a whole bunch of country western types getting out of the bus. They were all wearing rhinestone-covered shirts and jeans, and he saw that it was Buck Owens and his entourage. Buck was the first star John had ever seen, and he walked up to him and gave him a wave, and when the group walked into Capital Records, John followed them in. They went right past the receptionist, and when the Owens group went one way, John got into an elevator and pushed the button for the top floor. He thought he might as well see how far he could get before someone kicked him out. When he got out of the elevator, he was in awe of all the pictures of the big stars – The Lettermen, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, etc., and suddenly, behind him, a voice asked, “Can I help you?” Anyway, instead of kicking this young man (who hadn’t showered for a while) out of the amazing building, the guy took him to his office, listened to a tape that he had recorded in the bathroom of his home before he left, encouraged him to continue with his music, and gave him some excellent advice. He told John to go to a nearby club, the Troubadour, and perform during open mic nights. John didn’t even have a guitar of his own, but back at that time the other performers were happy to loan him one. I have to tell you, John said that the tape he had for the man to play was an extremely cheap old reel-to-reel, and he had made it in the bathroom, and as the man was playing it on his huge speakers, you could hear John’s siblings fighting in the background and finally his dad knocking on the door and telling him to get out of the bathroom. He said that he was horrified by how bad it was, but, luckily, the man could hear the talent through
all the background chaos. He still has that tape, by the way. While he was playing at the Troubadour, John met Lois and Dan Dalton, who have been his lifelong friends. They took him under their wing, gave him a job at their studio, found him a place to live, and convinced his parents to let him stay in Hollywood. At first John worked as an errand boy and did odd jobs around the studio, but eventually he started to play guitar during sessions. That was the beginning of an unbelievably awesome career. John has played guitar with and become friends with many big-name artists. Linda Ronstadt, Earl Scruggs, Arlo Guthrie, Johnny Tillotson, Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Ricky Nelson, Garth Brooks, Jimmy Rodgers, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Billy Bob Thornton – and this is just the start of a very long list. He has toured just about every town in the United States, and has toured Germany, Ireland, England, Norway and Australia. While on tour in England, he received a call from Ringo Starr, and was signed to Apple Records. Actually, when Ringo called, John was just waking up and thought that one of his band members was pulling his leg, so John said that the conversation went something like this: John: “Hello?” Ringo: “John, this is Ringo calling. Tony gave me your tape and it’s really great – we like it.” John: “Yeah, sure, Ringo. Let me talk to John. Is George there?” There was a pause in the conversation, and John could hear Ringo laughing, and then Ringo said, “Wake up John, opportunity knocks. How would you like to join the family here, the Apple family?” John finally realized it was really Ringo, and told him that he would like to sign with Apple. Ringo then told him to come to the studio, talk with Tony, that they would set up the details and welcomed him aboard. Wow! John was 23 years old at the time. Can you imagine what that must have been like to a young man that age? John said that the most surreal thing he has ever done in his years of performing is working with Ricky Nelson on “Saturday Night Live.” He said that sitting backstage, waiting to go on is unbelievable. The clock shows that there are 15 seconds to show time, and everything seems to go in slow motion. Then, suddenly, the host says, “Here’s Rick Nelson,” and all cameras are on the band and everything starts happening at once. John said that he knew that everyone he had ever known would be watching the show, and at first his mind would be whirling with all the memories – the teachers who failed him, girlfriends he had broken up with, his family, everyone. But then he would have to block that all out and concentrate on the show. John first came to the Barronett area a couple of years ago to visit with local artist Ron Helstern. A friend of John’s had told him about a guitar that Ron and Kevin McClain were making, and he came up to see for himself if it had as fantastic a sound as what he was told. He came, he heard, he endorsed. He was so impressed with the guitar that Ron now calls that particular style of guitar the Beland.
Dewey-LaFollette Hank and Karen Mangelsen visited Donna and Gerry Hines on Tuesday morning to wish Donna a happy birthday. Karen Mangelsen called on Bob Denotter on Tuesday afternoon. Lida Nordquist and Nina and Donna Hines were guests of Marlene Swearingen on Tuesday. They celebrated Donna’s birthday with an afternoon of visiting and playing cards. Karen Mangelsen visited Lois Snyder on Thursday morning. Saturday morning, Kris Fjelstad and her sister-in-law, Nancy Leazott, Eau Claire, met at Lakeview Medical
John Beland, left, is shown with fellow Barronett resident and guitar maker Ron Helstern. — Photo by Judy Pieper While I was chatting with John, he picked up one of Ron’s guitars and played “Moon River.” Fantastic. It’s easy to see why he would endorse the guitar. In addition to being a beautifully crafted work of art, the sound was phenomenal. John has five children, two sons and three daughters, all of whom he is very proud. When his first daughter was born, he wrote a song about her called, “Isn’t it Amazing,” which became a big hit in the Christian music industry. Both of his sons are successful performers, and a granddaughter is just starting her career in New Orleans. John said that the kids are already talking about coming up to visit and that he has friends from Norway that are also planning to visit. John has already performed in our area a few times over the past couple of years, and plans to keep on working. A few places that you might have seen him are Lehman’s in Rice Lake, the Rolling Oaks in Barron, and Nezzy’s in Cumberland. He will be performing at Nezzy’s and the Rolling Oaks again this month. He and a friend are also working on a one-man dinner-theatertype show that should be ready in three or four months. He also said he would be glad to perform at the Barronett Lutheran Scandinavian dinner in December, so I’m really looking forward to that. If you happen to see John out and about, please be sure to welcome him to the community. He has so many great stories to share about the artists he has worked with. We talked for a couple of hours, and he had a lot of funny stories, but not one bad word for anyone in the music industry. I think John will fit right in with our community. I invited him to come to Barronett Lutheran, and he said that he is still looking for a church and that he would probably be there one Sunday morning. I guess that’s about all I have from Barronett this week. Hope you have a fun Fourth of July weekend. See you next time.
by Karen Mangelsen Center in Rice Lake for a service of remembrance. The service honored people who died that had been involved with hospice during the last year, including Kris’ husband, Bob, who died July 2, 2014. A butterfly poem was read and monarch butterflies were released. In the afternoon, Kris attended a 50th birthday party for Lisa Gerten at her home on Spooner Lake. Lisa and her husband, Joe, are former Bashaw Lake cabin people. The Mangelsen family gathered for a reunion at Northwoods Crossing Event Center in Siren on Saturday afternoon. This was for descendants of Nicholas and Fannie Mangelsen, with the next generation being Henry, Klaus, Herman and Chris Mangelsen, and Martha Karels, Rena
VanSelus and Dora Sexton. Over 80 people attended, ranging in age from 7 weeks to 81 years old. The children enjoyed playing beanbag toss and making crafts. A highlight for many was a black-and-white copy of the picture of the Mangelsen home in Germany that could be colored, and included a place to indicate how many generations between each person and Nicholas and Fannie. Because of a small fire elsewhere in Siren, the power was out at the event for over an hour, but folks did OK selecting foods by cell phone lights and flashlights. All people there felt blessed by a great day. June and Chuck Willis visited Kay Krentz on Sunday.

In these final days of June, hours of darkness can be counted on one hand. Nights arrive late and mornings are not far off. Corn and soybean fields are looking real good and are right on schedule in our area with most corn knee high or more for the Fourth of July. Folks are putting up hay with weather good for it this past week with only threats of showers. White daisies and yellow trefoil are adorning our roadside ditches. I see the Queen Anne’s lace is lacing out, too. Regal lilies, Missouri primrose and clematis are showing off their beauty in the flower garden. This year’s goslings are rapidly growing. Deer are out in the open, getting away from the deerflies in the woods, so watch out for them when you’re driving. They like to be on the roads. One day, when coming out of Roger Furchtenicht’s driveway, I saw four cute little long-legged baby killdeer in the road and their nervous parents that ran ahead of them for a ways before they went off into the ditch. Those little legs could really run. Visitors at my house during the week were Janet Zimmerman who came over with a cemetery deed for me
Dewey Country It’s getting hot! Yes, it’s time to get those air-conditioning units a-goin’. What did we do without air conditioning years ago? I know we slept upstairs in Mom and Dad’s house and it was so hot a person couldn’t sleep. And if we opened the windows, the mosquitoes were in by the thousands. So as progress, I’ll take my air conditioning. July 2, a very happy birthday to Butch VanSelus and to Kristy Foust. Have a wonderful day. July 5, a very happy birthday to Colton William Potter as he enjoys his special day with many more to come. Colton is the son of Matt and Crystal Potter. Happy birthday to Richard Melton on July 6. Enjoy your special day, Richard. July 7, a very happy birthday to Broderick Hansen, Samuel Melton, Johanna Feeney, Michael Joseph Kane and Ashley Vanderhoof. All have a great day.

Tuesday I went into Shell Lake and Mary Krantz and I went for ride. We went to my place to sit on the deck and enjoyed the day visiting, after stopping at Gloria Frey’s, Virginia Stodola’s and Mavis Schlapper’s and found no one home. Congratulations to Adam and Lindsey Kemp, Shell Lake, who are the proud parents of a new baby son, Drew James, born June 19, in Rice Lake. Anton and Gloria Frey visited at grandson, Andy’s, and Emily and baby Brecken, at their new place in Madge on Thursday. Reports it’s all fixed up and decorated so homey. Elaine Ryan visited Kathy Butenhoff on Tuesday. They have a lot in common as they both love gardening and flowers. There’s a lot going on for the Fourth of July weekend. Here in West Sarona the Whitetail Campground has a parade, minnow racing, and Bingo at 2 p.m., live music by Rob Knowlton at 8 p.m., and fireworks at 10 p.m. It seems every town around has fireworks. It takes mil-
lions of dollars to entertain us Americans and our schools are short of money. That’s the freedom of choice! Do have a safe and happy holiday weekend. Call or fax, email, text me, or whatever with your holiday news. A happy day is wished for these folks on their birthdays.

This past week, Richy’s turkeys took their fateful ride to Barron. Sheds were cleaned by Wednesday night and are now airing out. When will he get new turkeys? Well, that remains to be seen and only time will tell. I’m just very glad he didn’t get that virus making the rounds. You know the corn crop looks really nice now. It’s filling in and looks so green, waving in the wind. I do believe we’ll have knee-high corn by the Fourth of July as it’s there already and some is even taller. Are you ready for strawberries? Well since Saturday, June 27, you can pick your own at Lindy’s Berries. Last Wednesday night, Drew and Jennifer Knoop brought their new baby down to Grandpa Steve and Jody Knoop’s. Marv and Gladys were there also and got a peek at that little Hudson.

We’ve been having nice days with plenty of sunshine and blue skies. Temps have been in the 70s and 80s. Friday morning I had some bad news. My sister-inlaw Marion Smith, formerly of Rice Lake, but now a resident in Fountain Hills, Ariz., had died. Marion just turned 93 and was in assisted living with Alzheimer’s and other problems. She and her late husband, Fred, owned the Smith Furniture in Rice Lake for many years and then their daughter, Harriet, and Dale Larson took it over. It is now in new hands. Sympathy to the family. Services will be in July with burial in Shell Lake Cemetery. Our sympathy to Peder Pederson who was the brother of Marion Smith. One sister is living in Florida; Hazel Whittler. On Wednesday afternoon last week, Arlys Santiago and two sisters, Avis and Audry, took a trip to Albuquerque, N.M., to attend the wedding of Avis’ grandson and Mark Paulson’s son. They returned on Wednesday and Avis will spend time with Arlys. Nancy Melton visited several tenants here one day. We were happy to see her. Lillian Ullom is expecting her sisters, Louise and Margaret, up for the Fourth of July holiday. Mary and John Marcshall had her mom over for supper Monday night. Elaine from Beautiful Savior honored us with her singing one day this week. We appreciated her. Wednesday evening the Salem Singers of Shell Lake came and sang many songs for us. It was very good.

Shell Lake Fine Arts Festival this Saturday SHELL LAKE — One of the finest art fairs in northwestern Wisconsin is almost here. The 13th-annual Shell Lake Fine Arts Festival will be Saturday, July 4, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Don’t let the road construction scare you. Hwy. 63 will be open and nearby parking is available. Thirty-three local and regional artists will be displaying and selling their artwork on the shores of Shell Lake in Memorial Park on Hwy. 63. The artists booths will be set up closer to the lake this year due to the road construction, which has a slight impact on the park. This is a highly anticipated and must-attend summer event. Once you have seen the variety of quality artwork, you’ll put it on your calendar for next year. Admission and parking is free. The Shell Lake arts festival is a juried event. The jury considers quality of artwork in a number of categories so every visitor will find something to appreciate.
The ever-popular Spiritwood will be performing and selling CDs of their music. Some of the work available this year is painting, jewelry, wood, leather, ceramics, printmaking, weaving and much, much more. Don’t miss this outstanding art festival. — from SLAF
Spiritwood, along with over 30 other artists, will be at this year’s Shell Lake Fine Arts Festival on Saturday, July 4, at Memorial Park. The event is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. — File photo
Bear with me
Flamingos flocking to Shell Lake
A 200-pound black bear tries to sleep in a tree in the alley of the 200 block on the north side of Shell Lake. It’s recovering from a long night of scavenging for food in the village. The bear has been seen throughout the week of June 22. It is always a good idea to keep your garbage cans inside your garage until the morning of pickup. — Photo by Larry Samson
