Hampton to pay back $420,000 WEDC grant

A day in the life: Shell Lake summer school

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Washburn County is home to many manufacturing businesses. Shell Lake, a city of about 1,300 people, was home to four manufacturers but one of those manufacturers, Hampton Products International Corporation, closed its doors on March 19.

Hampton produces products for the automotive, security lighting, door hardware and electronics market. According to the Department of Workforce Development, a total of 41 people lost their jobs due to the Shell Lake facility closure.

This information isn’t new, but an investigation of Hampton Products and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation revealed that just three years earlier Hampton was awarded a $420,000 grant by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.

Documents obtained from an open records request revealed information about Hampton Products and the grant not previously known.

City council approves airport building bid

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Municipal Airport will have a place to store its snow removal equipment come 2016. The Shell Lake City Council approved a bid for the construction of the storage building at their regular monthly meeting on Monday, July 13.

the airport, which is where it is supposed to be,” said Winch, who explained that having the equipment closer to the airport will make it more accessible for use.

The 60-foot-by-60-foot building will be located on airport property east of the Shell Lake School District’s bus garage.

The building will be constructed with a wooden frame and have a metal roof. Inside will be three bays, one for the tractor with attachments, one for extra attachments, and one for a work bay.

“The building project and site work did come in higher than expected,” said Brad Volker, building engineer from Cooper Engineering. The project received only one bid that came in at $600,000, about $125,000 more than expected. Volker explained that costs may have increased

since they started the project and because it is a federal and state sanctioned project.

Volker did state that he checked that the bid was fair compared to others recently let in the state.

The Federal Bureau of Aeronautics is covering 90 percent of the building’s cost with the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics and the city of Shell Lake to pay 5 percent each. Winch explained that the funds supplied by the FBA are entitlement funds, which is money collected from taxes on airline tickets sold.

Winch stated that the construction could start in late August or early September. The building’s completion date is set for January 2016.

Historical society fishing for 13 stories for Volume VI Sharon Tarr | Special to the Register WASHBURN COUNTY — Many years ago, WEAU-TV, Channel 13, in Eau Claire aired a program late on Sunday nights, the “Lucky 13 Fishing Contest.”

It featured pictures of people who had weighed in their biggest fish at participating businesses. If they caught the largest fish in one of the categories, from a lake in the region, they were awarded a prize from one of the vacation-related businesses, sports shops, restaurants or resorts in Wisconsin Indian Head Country.

The current winners were also listed in a story that appeared in local papers each week. Were you ever a “Lucky 13” winner or did you have your picture shown on TV? What did you catch and where?

For Volume VI of the “Historical Collections of Washburn County,” readers are invited to put a different twist on the number 13. Write about your favorite lake in Washburn County or just over its borders. The historical society wants to come up with 13 favorite lakes. In Wash-

burn County alone, there are over 300 named lakes and about 600 more with no names at all. Tell why you like the lake you choose. Did you ever live beside it or stay at a resort on it? What was a favorite time you most like to remember about it?

Did you ever catch a big fish there – what was it and how big?

I like big lakes best. To me, there is a certain excitement about them just because of their size. One of my favorites is Shell Lake because I can remember so many happy times spent there with my family at the place my uncle and aunt, George and Marj Skille, once owned on the north shore. Swimming, picnicking, camping, watching the crashing waves, and enjoying the sun and cooling breezes there was something to look forward to all winter long and enjoy as often as possible all summer long. What a great place to while away a summer afternoon just sitting on the end of the dock and daydreaming.

Then, once on a warm and wonderful July 3, we took the Skilles’ pontoon boat

out into the middle of the lake and oohed and aahed as the fireworks boomed and flashed overhead. That was an exciting way to celebrate our nation’s birthday.

The number 13 was significant in other ways in our area. A few months ago, I compiled a list as to what places made up the county’s boast of having 13 motels within its borders. Those included were in Spooner: Inn Town, Riches’, Deer Court, Country House, Sandman, Green Acres and the Pines. Hilltop was south of Spooner on what is now Hwy. 253. There was the Aqua Vista in Shell Lake, Ted Haag’s in Sarona, the Bil-Mar at Trego, and the Travelers Inn and the Minong Motel in Minong. I also mentioned Jake & Mae’s along Hwy. 53/63 on the way to Trego. Larry Titera got in touch afterward to remind me that John and Gretna Chichester had a motel in Spooner, too, when they also owned Riverside Tavern, which many know now as Tony’s. Ed Chaney once had a motel on the shore of Little Spooner Lake. Are there others missing

from the list? How long has there been a Birchwood Motel? And what about hotels, like the Rockford on Long Lake, the Lakeview in Shell Lake, the Hotel Spooner and the Birch Lake Inn in Birchwood. Trego and Minong had hotels, too, back in the times when passenger trains brought thousands of visitors to this area each year.

What are the names of the lakes, motels and hotels that you remember? Please send your information to Sharon Tarr, 306 Balsam St., Spooner, WI 54801 or remembering44@yahoo.com.

Remember, too, that Washburn County Historical Society is seeking money donations to help defray the cost of publishing this next volume (VI) of the “Historical Collections of Washburn County.” Please send your contributions to Washburn County Historical Society, P.O. Box 366, Shell Lake, WI 54871. It will be noted on a page in the book that you helped to make the book possible.

Karen Mangelsen of the Dewey-LaFollette news Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Publishing timely, localized and interesting information for Washburn County Register readers is important but getting that information is another story.

In this and upcoming editions readers will get Karen Mangelsen to know a few of the people

Behind the byline ...

that get local town news published. This week, Register town correspondent Karen Mangelsen is featured.

“I read once that everybody knows what the news is but they read the little columns to see if the correspondent got it right,” said Karen Mangelsen. Mangelsen is the Dewey-LaFollette town correspondent for the Washburn County Register.

She and her husband, Hank, live in the Town of LaFollette in Burnett County.

“I don’t write a real long column and I don’t call a lot of people but I do get news from some of the folks that go to the church we attend,” said Mangelsen. Mangelsen took over writing the town news for her mother-in-law, Lida Mangelsen, before her passing in 1991. Mangelsen is also the LaFollette town treasurer, a position she has held since 1987, and the secretary-treasurer for the LaFollette Cemetery

Association.

Before writing the town news, Mangelsen wrote poems but never set out or planned to have her writing published.

Mangelsen explained that she writes about events that occur in the community like baptisms, community occurrences and community outreach for the Lakeview United Methodist Church. There haven’t been extreme changes in the community since she began writing but the farm scene has changed.

“There aren’t that many farms and some of the farms are bigger and I’m not saying that is bad, it’s just a change of things,” she said. Mangelsen grew up on a farm in the Town of Roosevelt, Burnett County, and remembers neighbors helping other neighbors on their farms. Today bigger farms means farmers usually have all the equipment they need and there

isn’t the cooperative farming that there was before.

“I don’t think that’s just the LaFollette area, I think it overall has happened,” she said. She and Hank were also farmers — dairy farmers that is — with 17 milking cows and a herd of about 35. They did that from 1981 to 1994 when they sold the cattle. Nowadays they rent their open land to another farmer but are trying their hand at container gardening. Mangelsen also enjoys making recycled cards.

The Mangelsens have been married for almost 48 years and have four children and eight grandchildren, who they enjoy seeing any chance they get. One of their sons, Jake, is the owner of the Tesora restaurant and the Chattering Squirrel coffee shop, both located in Siren.

RICE LAKE — With the signing of the 2015-2017 state budget by Gov. Scott Walker, a $5 million cut to UW Colleges is confirmed. How the cut will be split among the 13 campuses, including UWBarron County, is still unknown. UWBC Dean/CEO Dean Yohnk said jobs will be lost as a result of the cut. “We will be forced to eliminate a number of nonteach-

ing staff positions since 90 percent of our campus budget goes to cover salaries and fringe benefits,” said Yohnk. “We are considering an array of staffing reductions in student services, business services, library services, facilities management and lead campus administration,” said Yohnk.

UW-Extension faces a $5.2 million cut. ”These cuts are less than what was origi-

nally proposed, by they are nonetheless very substantial, “ said Cathy Sandeen, chancellor of UW Colleges and UW-Extension, which provides educational resources throughout the state. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype •••

Rep. Quinn calls for investigation of Planned Parenthood MADISON – Following the release of a video that appears to show a top Planned Parenthood official discussing how the organization sells the body parts of unborn infants, Rep. Romaine Quinn, R-Rice Lake, called for the organization to be investigated.

“The conversations this video records were appalling,” said Quinn. “For Planned Parenthood to so brazenly discuss how best to harvest ‘intact hearts’ and other organs from unborn babies

clearly shows that something is deeply wrong. Too many disturbing questions are raised here to bury our heads in the sand. The people of Wisconsin have a right to be sure that all taxpayer-funded organizations are following state and federal law. I call on Gov. Scott Walker and Attorney General Brad Schimel to launch an investigation into Planned Parenthood’s activities.”

Quinn joins a growing chorus that has demanded answers from Planned Par-

enthood. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has already announced an investigation into the group, and lawmakers at all levels of government have called for action to be taken.

Quinn is also working with colleagues in the Legislature to find effective means of ensuring that unborn children’s body parts are not being sold.

“Rep. Andre Jacque has proposed language to ensure that fetuses are properly and respectfully disposed. Although fed-

eral law does forbid the sale of parts from unborn children, abortion groups often get around this ban by creating artificial fees that essentially reimburse these groups the amount they believe they could make from a sale,” said Quinn.

“We need to make sure Wisconsin’s laws brightly and explicitly ensure that some of the most vulnerable among us are not being exploited for ghoulish purposes.”

Republicans put the ball in wrong basket I

n a short two-week period, the Republican-led Senate has made it clear who and what their priorities are. And the sad part is that you are not on their list. Last week it was the 20152017 state Budget. This week it was a bill that spends over $400 million of taxpayer money to build a new basketball arena in Milwaukee.

As many of you know, the new state budget cuts $250 million from the University of Wisconsin System and sends even less money to our public schools than they got in 2010. It delays vital highway projects and continues to underfund maintenance of our existing roads and bridges. Yet somehow, just a week later, we authorize spending $400 million to build a new stadium for the Milwaukee Bucks.

How do I tell the parents of children in northern Wisconsin that we didn’t have enough money to help their local

schools, but we did have enough money to help out the billionaire owners of a professional basketball team? How do I explain to parents struggling to pay their sons and daughters tuition that we’re laying off faculty and staff at UWBarron County, but we’re helping pay the salaries of professional basketball players? How do I tell small-business owners in rural northern Wisconsin that we have to postpone major highway projects and road maintenance, delays that will make it harder for their businesses to succeed, but we’re rushing to break ground on a new sports and entertainment complex in southeastern Wisconsin?

How we spend our money is the clearest expression of what our values are. No matter what the people who voted for either of these bills say, they are putting the profits of a professional

basketball team above the education of our children. They are putting skyboxes ahead of classrooms, professional athletes ahead of local business owners.

Our priorities, as evidenced by the 2015-2017 budget and the Bucks Arena Bill, are out of whack. I didn’t vote for either of these bills. I tried to convince my colleagues that there was a better way. I’m not giving up. I’m going to continue to fight for the things that I know you care about. What I hear over and over is that we need to invest in northern Wisconsin. One way we can do that is to change state law to allow small and medium-sized cities to use the same tools that enabled Milwaukee to fund and develop their sports and entertainment arena facilities.

I am introducing legislation that would make the exposition district concept

District 25 Senate • Janet Bewley

that underlies the new Bucks arena a viable option for cities other than Milwaukee. My bill will allow communities to invest in projects that are appropriate for their circumstances, on a scale that makes sense for them. Any proposed bonding will have to be approved using proven standards based on projected revenue and an assessment of the feasibility of the proposed project. Voters in the municipality will have to approve the proposed project via a referendum. I believe it is time to give locally elected officials the tools they need to spur economic development in their communities. Hopefully my colleagues will be true to their word and support economic development that benefits the whole state, not just professional sports teams and real-estate developers in Milwaukee.

Read Me … Read Me Not “ Descent,” a novel by Tim Johnston Reviewed by Jan Netolicky, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Caitlin Courtland, together with parents Grant and Angela and brother Sean, head to the Rocky Mountains for a family vacation in the fall prior to Caitlin’s freshman year at the University of Wisconsin. A gifted runner, Caitlin is determined to train in the thin mountain air, to push herself, to be worthy of the track scholarship earned after her undefeated high school senior season.

For her parents, the change in scenery is a chance to redefine their troubled marriage.

Eager to begin her trek in the cold morning air, Caitlin is strong, confident, and cocky enough to leave the paved trail — and her brother on his mountain bike — behind her. And then, she is gone.

In the wake of her disappearance, each family member must find a way to deal with the hollow despair, which fills every thought, every action, every choice. Each must struggle with the unthinkable: Why Caitlin? What hap-

pened to her? Who could have done this? Is she still alive? As the days stretch into months, then years, the questions become even more difficult because there are no viable answers: Do we quit looking? How long before we give up?

If “Descent” were a conventional mystery, slick police work, obscure clues and predictable plot conventions would bring closure to the story. Happily, Tim Johnston has elevated the psychological thriller to an art form by focusing on the complex, impeccable character development of those who search for the missing girl. The novel is populated by victims, villains and those less easily categorized, all looking to make sense of the extraordinary circumstances in which they find themselves. Perhaps most surprising is Johnston’s ability to characterize even the mountains themselves, crafting a setting both alluring and ominous at once.

“Gone Girl,” this isn’t. No intricate plot mechanizations, no “gotcha” moments. Instead, “Descent” explores a breadth of emotions and attitudes spanning loss, guilt, resilience and hope.

The sandwich

I

magine a freshly picked, sliced, red, vine-ripened tomato, lying between pieces of crispy bacon and a fresh, crispy lettuce leaf, all enveloped in toasted, mayonnaise-spread whole wheat bread. The term for this savory meal is a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich, better known as the BLT. The term sandwich where did it come from? If you break down the word — sand and wich, why would you want to eat sand and what is wich?

According to information I read, the portable finger food that contains one or more types of foods placed on or between slices of bread may have been named after 18thcentury English aristocrat John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. Recorded information says that he had his valet

bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread and when others began to order this combination, they would say, “the same as Sandwich.” Lord Sandwich liked this form of food as it allowed him to continue playing cards while eating and not using a fork. He could eat using his bare hands and not get his cards greasy.

The sandwich is a standard for many people’s packed lunch, picnic, or for a quick meal on the go.

There are many varieties of sandwich fillings as well as the edible wrapping holding it all together. Do you want white, wheat, honey wheat, multigrain … or perhaps a flatbread or wrap? One popular sandwich shop will even wrap your contents in a lettuce leaf.

Speaking of sandwich shops. Have you noticed how many different types are now available? One franchise claims to be so quick in delivering your order that the doorbell rings before you hang up your phone after placing your order. Then there is the sandwich shop

that got its beginnings in an antique store when the owners decided to offer sandwiches to their historycollecting customers. I guess the name, Potbelly, refers to an old-fashioned stove rather than the result of eating too many sandwiches. Have you tried the Which Wich? sandwich shop experience? You pick your wich by first grabbing the brown paper bag you want for your sandwich and then marking your requests for the fillings on the bag with the provided marker. You hand your completed selection bag to the cashier, pay your bill, and wait for your name to be called.

Some cooks like to get fancy and make little pinwheel sandwiches. Seems that most kids like a grilled cheese sandwich. The thing about sandwiches is there are so many choices that it would be hard to find someone that doesn’t like them. Ah, and there is of course the old standby … peanut butter and jelly, also known as PBJ.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Where did all the love songs go?

by Mary B. Olsen ometimes I wonder and then I realize times are changing, not just the major things in our lives, but the little things that didn’t amount to much. Take love songs, for example. They’re not gone, but they are different. No longer are men crooning sweet nothings they have heard in the words of songs to their sweethearts. A girl’s heart is no longer set to fluttering when her young man coos to her. Believe me, those days are gone, probably forever.

Back in the olden days, before our time, gentlemen actually were romantic and ladies approved of this, and it was considered normal courting behavior. A couple had to be properly introduced, and then the gentleman might be invited to visit the young lady at her home, where he would sit in the parlor and the couple would be making small talk. He might call for several evenings, and then their courtship might lead to his asking her father for her hand in marriage. Love makes the world go ‘round, but maybe the world is getting a little wobbly lately.

Unlike the songs of the past, we are focused on now and the future these days.

Music has always been with us. Songs from the days of traveling actors and

S

singers on the vaudeville stage were all part of the culture. Looked down upon by the higher classes, popular songs still managed to touch the lives of most people. There were songs available in sheet music played on pianos in parlors. Every little town had bands and musicians who played at house parties and dance halls.

The dances might have been the minuet, the square dance, the waltz or the polka, but it was always a time for getting out among neighbors and meeting friends and making new friends.

Just look at the titles of songs from the early years, when my parents were going to dances, like from 1912, “Moonlight Bay,” “My Melancholy Baby,” and from 1913, “You Made Me Love You,” and 1914, “When You Wore a Tulip,” and “By the Beautiful Sea.” In 1916, there was “Pretty Baby,” and the next year we had a war, and the songs went on. “Oh, Johnny, Oh, Johnny” and “For Me and My Gal.” In 1918, there was a song called “l’m Always Chasing Rainbows.” It was a fantasy song, really about romance.

Most of the songs that were popular were love songs and about being separated from a loved one. In the 1920s the songs from Broadway were in young people’s heads, and they sang along with them. “I’ll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time,” and “April Showers,” and the cute songs like “Ma, He’s Making Eyes at Me” and “I’m Just Wild About

Harry.” In 1924, the songs were “Deep in My Heart,” “Indian Love Call,” “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” “The Man I Love,” “Somebody Loves Me,” “Tea For Two,” and “I Want To Be Happy.” Fast-forward to my time when I was going to dances.

We had gone through another war and the soldiers coming back were looking ahead to a quiet married life and their main desire was to start families. Housing projects were being built outside of the crowded cities, and everyone was working. There was a demand for cars and appliances, and the courting scene was changing. More women were working, earning their own living, and a bit of romance was still in our songs. In 1945, we sang, “If I Loved You,” and in 1947, “Five Minutes More,” “The Girl That I Marry,” “Tenderly,” and “Almost Like Being In Love.”

Everything was changing. Young people had cars, and there were no parlors in suburban houses. We listened to songs on the jukebox, and a lot of them were not about love. “Civilization” was one I remember and it was about leaving our confining life behind for the jungle. Had we given up a normal life? Maybe. There was, “Fuedin’ and Fightin,” and “The Too Fat Polka” sung by Arthur Godfrey.

Although Doris Day sang, “A, You’re Adorable,” most of the music scene was already losing the romantic songs. We heard the jukebox while we ate ham-

burgers and drank milk shakes, and we were beginning to think romance was just foolish, corny, and we didn’t worry about the past. We were going into a new world.

I found an old song. A singer sang this plaintive song; I don’t know who wrote it, but it is quite like the light romance in the songs of earlier times.

Gee, I Wish I Had A Girl “These days ev’ry fellow has a sweetheart, It seems that ev’ry girlie has a beau.

Gee, I’d be glad, if I only had, Someone to say “I love you so.”

I’d like to do some kissin’ and some huggin’, and some croonin’, too, I guess.

But no matter how I strive, Folks don’t know that I’m alive, And I fear I’ll die of lonesomeness.

Gee, I wish I had a girl, like the other fellows had, Some one to make a fuss over me.

Gee, I wish I had a girl, My sighin’ and my tryin’ is all in vain.

‘Cause I’m not a ladies’ man, And a lonely creature I’ll remain.”

As far as I can see, there was love, but not romance, like “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” in 1948, which expressed the casual kind of love story that had already begun. Definitely, by 1962, romance was “BIowin’ in the Wind.” It had a good run but we lost it along the way.

Activities at Hunt Hill

JULY 22, 2015 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 9

Naturalist Adel Huemiller is feeding a porcupine that was rescued and rehabilitated. The lesson here is that contrary to popular myth, porcupines cannot shoot or throw their quills.

Like all creatures, porcupines have a role in their ecosystem. The fisher is one of the few predators that can take a porcupine.

Angelo Nielson, of Boston, Mass., is showing his strength in a demonstration on the wildlife in the North Woods. Nielson is spending the summer in northern Wisconsin with his grandfather.

Naturalist Asya Simons turns to see what has caught the attention of the red-tailed hawk that she is holding. This hawk was shot by a poacher in 1991 and is about 24 years old. His home is the Audubon Center of the North Woods near Sandstone, Minn.

Hailey Heiden and Eisley Bandener do not know what to make of the tiger salamander in the aquarium. Hailey is showing courage with the support of her mother. They were attending the Hunt Hill and Long Lake Preservation Association’s Cakes on the Lake presentation, North Wood Niches, held Saturday, July 18.

Barron fourth-grader Leon Rosado is learning about snakes. Like many people, he has a healthy respect for snakes. Where do snakes fit into the ecosystem? As a predator snakes help control the population of mice and other rodents.

Sean and I would like to thank everyone for all your time and support organizing my benefit.

You are all amazing, wonderful friends.

Love you all, Sean and Heather

Luke Savas is a Shell Lake Middle School student who had the opportunity to study under Dr. Phil Ostrander in the trombone camp held Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17.

Sara McKinney has come a long way to become a musician and to come to the Shell Lake Arts Center. Her passion for music and her drive to achieve has led her to the arts center. She and her father, Rich, have come out from Carneys Point, N.J. She is an eighth-grader who started playing four years ago; with the help of a prosthetic hand she is able to play one of the few instruments that does not require fingers. As one of youngest campers in the trombone camp, she plans to be back next year.

Dr. Phil Ostrander turned over his conductor duties to another instructor so he could play the keyboards with the band. Gweni Smith played bass with the group. It is a unique opportunity for the young players to play side by side with their instructors.

This past week was a very unsettled one here, weatherwise, it sprinkled every now and then. Not the best for ones trying to get dry hay made. In the night, Friday, a thunderstorm ended it and a gorgeous weekend followed.

As we reach the middle of summer, roadsides are now speckled with yarrow, oxeye daisies, trefoil, bergamot and tansies. I haven’t seen any wild roses yet. Nature has a way of providing us with endless beauty.

Gardens are doing great and folks are beginning to enjoy some fresh veggies. A few corn tassels are starting to show up and small grain is starting to turn.

Dorothy Semm called to report the death of Wendell Watson, 90, of California. He was a former West Sarona resident of years back on the Watson farm corner of CTH D and Schoolhouse Road, land now owned by Tom Elliott. He was the same age as Earl Semm, they were close neighbors and attended school together at West Sarona School and have been lifelong friends. Dorothy said they would visit by phone real often. Glad to report too that Earl is now home in Rice Lake after spending four months at the Barron Nursing Home.

Dale Webb, Somerset, stopped by Tuesday evening after attending visitation for his friend’s mother, Bertha Soelle, held at the Skinner Funeral Home in Shell Lake.

He was planning to attend the funeral the next morning at the Spooner Wesleyan Church. Sympathy to the family.

Dale is doing pretty well. He had surgery about a month ago for a brain tumor. We had a great visit. Keep on the mend Dale.

Renee Zimmerman returned home Saturday after a weeklong fishing trip with family to Ontario, Canada.

Reports great fishing and great weather.

Marilyn Zimmerman attended the harness racing at the Barron County Fair on Wednesday. They were rained out on Thursday. Report some real close races so it was fun to watch.

Jack and Judy Stodola, Onalaska, spent the weekend here with his mom, Virginia.

Bob Mallard visited at Anton and Gloria Frey’s while at his cabin here. The Ruxes were up at their place, too.

Evelyn Schaffer’s sister, Mary Ellen Prestrud, Prairie Farm, visited and brought up 16 quilts her quilting club

Neighbor Al Loew stopped in Monday afternoon with a pretty bird to see if I might know the owner. He had caught it in his shed.

It was a mile from its home.

You can’t have a cat and you can’t have a dog, Here is a pet with a name like a hog.

Actually guinea pig’s what Millie is, And here are some questions, a guinea pig quiz.

Do you know something a pig needs each week?

It’s something they need for a healthy physique.

If you guessed a fruit and said orange you’re right, Oh yes, Millie’s colors are orange, black and white.

Now here is one more about what pigs can eat, It grows right outside and pigs think it’s a treat.

If clover and dandelions are what you guessed, Both Millie and I will say we are impressed.

One thing to remember about smaller pets, They need to be cleaned once a week, don’t forget.

Or else they will smell and unhappy they’ll be, I wouldn’t want my pets unhappy with me.

So if a small pet is what you had in mind, I’d say Millie the “pig” is a heck of a find.

Cats for adoption: 2-1/2-year-old female black mediumhair; 2-year-old neutered black medium-hair; 3-year-old female medium-hair calico; 1-year-old spayed black/gray longhair tabby; two 4-month-old white/black kittens; 1-year-old female shorthair brown/black tiger; 2-1/2-yearold orange/black/white shorthair tiger; 10-month-old black/brown female shorthair tiger; 10-week-old male black shorthair tiger; 1-year-old neutered orange shorthair tiger and a 1-year-old neutered white/gray shorthair.

Ghost Visit at Spooner ag station Monday night Mary B. Olsen | Special to the Register SPOONER — The annual Ghost Visit has been scared off by the road construction on Hwy. 63 in Shell Lake.

Instead of coming to the pavilion at the Lake Front Park in Shell Lake, the visitors from the past will arrive at the Ag Research Station on Hwy. 70, east of Spooner, and tell the stories of their lives. They will visit, Monday evening, July 27, at 7 p.m. “Ghost Visit: 2015” is sponsored by The Washburn County Historical Society. The cast of dedicated volunteer performers will portray seven visiting

spirits from the past.

Everyone is invited to attend this dramatic presentation and learn of the lives of individuals who came before us and enriched our lives.

Unlike the cemetery walks presented by many historical groups, this event takes place indoors for the convenience of the living. There is no charge.

The ghost visitors are portrayed by the volunteer actors who appeared in the play last year except for two changes.

The visitors are Dr. Joseph Cox, 1859-1909, played by Ernie Buhler; Mrs. Beatrice (Durand) Derrick, 1907-1980, played by June Willis; Albert Dubois, 1918-2012, played

by Larry Samson; George W. Harmon, 1862-1942, played

by Stephen Smith; Sen. Holger B. Rasmusen, 1894-1983, portrayed by Fred Kosmach; Mrs. Holger (Pearl) Rasmusen, 1894-1987, played by Nancy Rich; and Mrs. Augie (Ruby) Sorensen, 1907-2003, played by Jennifer Edlin.

Terri Reiter will provide music.

Shell Lake Farmers Market offers local goods every Friday Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The road construction on Hwy. 63 in Shell Lake has caused its share of hiccups this summer, but Dawn Swan, a Shell Lake Farmers Market vendor, is concerned about its impact on the Shell Lake Farmers Market.

Swan says the number of customers to the market is low already and that has her concerned about whether people will know the market is open for business.

“There are people that live here in Shell Lake that don’t even know we have a market,” said Swan.

The Shell Lake Farmers Market is open every Friday from 2 to 6 p.m., offering locally sourced goods in the parking lot by the city campground just off of Hwy. 63. Depending on the season and number of vendors, goods available include kettle corn, jam, salsa, honey, baked goods, perennials, blueberries, fresh-cut flowers and vegetables. The types of produce is dependent on time for harvest.

The number of vendors at the market fluctuates from four to six to eight but, “we are always looking for more vendors if they have homemade crafts, baked goods or anything,” said Swan. Those interested in selling goods or learning more can call Swan at 715-468-7836.

July dance at Hunt Hill SARONA — Duck for the Oyster, the North Woods premier traditional dance band, will be ripping into some hot dance music at the Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona, Saturday, July 25, starting at 7:30 p.m. The dance, held in Hunt Hill’s historic cedar barn, is the part of a whole summer’s worth of events at the Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary as well as a summer of dance events with Duck for the Oyster.

“We dance in the old haymow,” said Duck for the Oyster fiddler Kevin McMullin, “It’s like being trans-

ported back in time. The music and dancers are from all over and every age. Everybody’s having fun!” In the 25 years that Duck for the Oyster has been together, they have played and led hundreds of dances at community events, schools, festivals, weddings and family gatherings throughout the Upper Midwest, including plenty of collaborations with nonprofits.

McMullin says that Duck for the Oyster Hunt Hill dances attract a diverse group. “We get the widest variety of people at these dances,” says McMullin. “The thing

they share in common is having fun. Singles and couples, kids and elders, everyone has a good time. Some folks just to enjoy the live music. There are always refreshments available. It’s a great way to spend an evening.”

The dance is alcohol and tobacco free. Each dance is taught before the music starts; no previous experience is necessary. For more information about the dance visit duckfortheoyster.com or call 715-635-7641. — from DFTO

He is survived by his beloved wife, Karen Huebschman, Spooner; his son, Mark (Patricia) Huebschman, Stuttgart, Germany; his grandchildren, Sophia, Kurt and Kenzie Huebschman all of Stuttgart, Germany; and many nieces, nephews and dear friends.

John Frank Shimek The Mass of Christian Burial for John Shimek was held Tuesday, July 21, 2015, at the Church of Saint Pius X in Rochester, Minn. The celebrant was the Rev. David Byrne. Burial, with military honors provided by the American Legion Post 164 of Stewartville, will be at Calvary Cemetery in Rochester on Wednesday, July 22.

John Frank Shimek, 76, passed away after a courageous battle with carcinoid cancer on Friday morning July 17, 2015, at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rochester with his loving wife, brother and adopted daughter at his side.

He was born Jan. 5, 1939, to Frank and Mary (Wenzel) Shimek in Rice Lake, and grew up around Sarona and Shell Lake. He was graduated from Shell Lake High School with the Class of 1957.

John served in the Army from 1961-1963, and then worked for geological surveyors for a couple of years before moving to Rochester. In Rochester he worked at Agnesberg-Stone surveyors from 1965-1970. This is when he met his wife, Dianne Mathern. He worked for

Overhead Door from 1971-1976, Ace Advertising 19771984, Ace Sign 1984-1986 and Waters Instrument from 1986 until his retirement in 2001.

John was an avid Green Bay Packers fan, and was proud to be a shareholder of the team. But he especially enjoyed fishing and the great outdoors. He was a member of the Church of Saint Pius X, the Lady Slipper Model A Car Club and American Legion Post 164 in Stewartville.

He will be greatly missed by his wife, Dianne; brother, Raymond Shimek, Sarona; nephew, DWayne (MaryJo) Wieseler, Glencoe, Minn.; niece Karla (Elmer) Knockel, Rochester, Minn.; aunt Helen Shimek, Mendota, Ill.; adopted daughter, Cindy (Mark) Keith, Rochester; adopted grandchildren, David and Christopher Keith; brotherin-law, Francis Wieseler, and his wife, Joyce, Rochester, Minn.; and his beloved dog and constant companion, Missy.

Wrestling club to meet

SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Wrestling Club will meet on Wednesday July 29, 6 p.m., in the health room at the Shell Lake High School.

Business will cover elections, parent

communication, parent email list, Facebook page, fundraising and tournament reports. — from SLWC

Personalized wrestling camp coming to Shell Lake SHELL LAKE — Knight Wrestling Academy Camps summer tour will be coming to Shell Lake for a personalized wrestling camp Monday, Aug. 3, and Tuesday, Aug. 4.

The goal of Knight Wrestling Academy Camps is to provide a positive environment where young wrestlers can learn what it takes to be a champion, both on and off the mat. Through gaining the knowledge of the proper technique that has proven successful at the highest levels of competition, acquiring the proper work ethic of a champion, and maintaining a positive attitude, with KWA camps, success will be inevitable.

On both Monday and Tuesday there will be two two-hour sessions from 9-11 a.m. and noon to 2 p.m. An optional third session will be added each day from

2:30-4 p.m. This optional third session is for the more serious wrestlers that have some specific problem areas that they want fixed. Unlike the typical wrestling camp where coaches and wrestlers don’t have any input as to what technique will be shown, at the KWA camps wrestlers have an opportunity to address their problem areas.

The cost is $75 per wrestler. Registration can be mailed to Dan Knight, 4720 East 48th Place, Davenport, Iowa 52807.

Registrations will also be accepted at the door. Make checks payable to Knight Wrestling Academy. For more information, call Knight at 563-209-6805 or KnightWrestling.com, bulldogwrestling1@gmail.com. — submitted by Shell Lake Wrestling Club

ll of us are confronted by the passing of time, not only the elderly. It is an issue that all of us face whether we like it or not. Yet, our culture is in massive denial that everyone ages and every life will end.

Our elderly now live in retirement villages. More cosmetics than ever are sold to erase the lines of aging.

There are more products now available to cover gray hair that once stood for wisdom. We have surgery to remove the signs of aging that are becoming less expensive and more available. But it is all in vain. Time is the enemy of everyone and judgment awaits us all.

David was aware of the fact his life was passing away. Overwhelmed by its shortness he cried out, “Show me, O Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.” He had questions and wanted God’s answers. His sickness was a result of his sin and knowing that God was displeased with him caused him to be alarmed.

So, he wanted a date and the number of days he had left to live. He was asking God to give him some assurance of the time he had been allotted. Having that information would enable him to figure out what to do next. But he didn’t get it.

In this simple verse he admitted that he was frail, that his days were numbered and his life short. He knew that one day he would certainly face God. Armand Nicholi said, “Only when we are ready to die can we truly live a fulfilling and satisfying life.”

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

We had the most amazing storm on Friday night. The thunder was crashing, the lightning was flashing, and the rain was just pouring down. Not that we needed any more rain right then, mind you, but it was like watching a fireworks display.

And, even though we might be pretty tired of the wet weather, this must be the best year for crops in a long time.

When we lived on the farm (about a hundred years ago) farmers were happy if corn was knee-high by the Fourth of July. Well, it’s just a little past the middle of July, and the corn must be 7 feet tall. All the crops look great, including the gardens. Everything is so green. And, the soggy weather makes the weeds a lot easier to pull.

The congregation of Barronett Lutheran would like to thank Pastor Karen Johnson for playing the organ for us on Sunday morning while our regular organist, Geri Pittman was out of town. We certainly appreciated it.

Geri and Mel were out of town to attend a Pittman family reunion in LaMars, Iowa, which happens to be the icecream capital of the world. Just thought you might like to know that. It’s the home of Blue Bunny ice cream. Anyway, back to the reunion. Geri said they had a fantastic time – laughing and visiting all weekend. There was one cousin and his wife who attended from California who own a fleet of milk trucks. Well, before she left Wisconsin to attend the reunion, Geri bought a T-shirt to wear when she met him. It had a picture of a cow on it, and printed on the back were the words, “California cows can kiss Wisconsin’s dairy aire.” Leave it to Geri! It sounds as though they had a great time.

I talked to Trystin Neitzel for a few minutes on Sunday afternoon. His baseball team, the Cumberland Outsiders, had been to the tournament in Altoona and took second place. Trystin did some pitching for the games, but was mostly in the catcher’s position. Great work, guys! I bet

Heart Lake

the high school coaches are pretty happy to see these guys coming.

Leroy Orth traveled to Des Moines, Iowa, on July 10 to attend a meeting of the 20-Year Club of the Iowa State Patrol. After the business meeting, the attendees had a good time visiting, reminiscing and catching up on what was happening with their old friends and colleagues.

I asked Pastor Todd if he had any news for me on Sunday morning, and he said that he didn’t know if it was news or not, but that he had learned to watch out for ground bees when mowing his lawn. A couple of days before that he had been out mowing, stepped on a ground bee hole, and got stung on the ankle three times before he could get away. He said they were pretty mad. I suppose anyone would be if someone ran a mower over their home and then stepped on them. Luckily he’s not allergic to bee venom.

Miriah Lehmann’s friend, Jeremy Olson, aka “Worm,” is a very modest guy. He, Miriah, Suzy, Ryan and Tru Lehmann were at the Hilltop for breakfast, and I asked him what he had been up to lately. He said that he had competed in the calf-roping event at the UP Championship Rodeo in Iron River that week. When I asked how he did, he said, “OK.” OK! Suzy told me that he took first place in the calf-roping event in that championship rodeo!

Does that sound just “OK” to you?

Wrig Marsh is 4 years old! He had a birthday on July 16, and his parents, Jim and Summer, hosted a big party for him at their home in Rice Lake. He’s pretty proud of being 4, because now he’s as old as cousins Ollie, Tru, Katelynn and Jessica. He had lots of family and friends to celebrate with him, got way too many presents, and we all ate too much delicious food.

On Friday evening, Jim and Summer Marsh invited Duane and me to go out to supper with them. They were

at the cabin, and so we got to ride on the pontoon to the Reel ‘Em Inn. Wrig has been wanting to give me a pontoon ride since last winter, so I was very happy when he was allowed to steer the boat for a little bit. The food and service was very good at the Reel ‘Em Inn, and we had a wonderful evening.

You know, we have a black currant bush and Nanking cherry bushes up by our garden, and I didn’t plan to use them this year. But, I hate to see stuff go to waste, so a couple of weeks ago, Tru, Suzy and I picked the cherries and tried to find someone who would use them. Alyse Lehmann asked one of her co-workers if she would like them, and she was so happy to get them. She said that she made jelly that turned out beautifully, and that was something she used to do with her mom. We were so glad she could use them.

Then, a few days ago, Duane and I picked the black currants and the cherries, and Jeno Herman said that he could use them. He makes some kind of French sauce with the currants to serve with meat, and he made a sauce with the cherries to serve over cheesecake. Sharon Herman brought us a piece of the cheesecake with the sauce on top, and it was delicious. I could get fat just thinking about it.

I am very sorry to report that Ruth and Dick Grover’s granddaughter, Kari Janz, daughter of Melanie and Dale Janz, lost her battle to cancer on July 17. Kari’s sister, Mandy Bates, was at her bedside when she passed away.

Please keep Ruth and Dick in your prayers for comfort as they go through this time of sorrow.

Ruth is very grateful that Kari was able to make one last trip from Chicago to Barronett with her mom and dad about three weeks ago. They visited for the weekend before they had to return home.

That’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope to see you at the Washburn County Fair. Hug your family.

by Helen V. Pederson

On Monday morning the skies were a little overcast. I hope we don’t have rain. Everything is nice and green.

Flowers are looking good.

Funeral services were held last week for Bertha Soelle who died on July 11 as a result of a stroke. She was 95 years old. I remember her as Dr. Moen’s nurse in the 1940s and then when the new hospital was built she was the X-ray technician. We remained good friends.

Last Tuesday, Pastor Sue of Salem came and had Bible study with us.

Friday night a group called Them Coulee Boys came to Glenview and entertained us.

Friday night Ashley Anderson was the guest of honor at

Dewey Country We had quite a storm here during the night Friday night. We had a lot of lightning and the thunder rolled right over my house. My two pups certainly were awake.

Yes, they barked and barked. In fact, I don think Rammy would have liked to take it on, as he was all for it. I did get up thinking of a possible tornado in the storm according to what I heard on the news. I took my two pups and sat on the steps of the basement until it calmed down. In some areas, a storm did leave a lot of damage and people hadn’t got their electricity back yet. Hopefully will get it soon. I saw one farm that was totaled and it certainly made me think of the 2001 tornado we had.

Last week, new 7-week-old turkeys made their home for the next 15 weeks at son Richy’s. And I do see he keeps the curtains up most of the time. Let’s hope that virus doesn’t get his turkeys.

Craig Smith of Schaumburg, Ill., sent me a card telling me he was in Boston attending the AVMA’s 152nd-annual convention with 9,800 veterinarians attending. Craig tells me in Boston they made the best clam chowder. Yum! I see Lakeview Medical Center is now going to be at Country Lane Pantry in Barron. Yes, they’re going to be handing out materials on Thursday from 2-8 p.m. Peaches should be coming in now as they will be coming to Country Lane Pantry shortly.

Talking with Myrna Atkinson, we find she is busy painting and working on a quilt. The Atkinsons went to Lyle Atkinson’s for a reunion. Their daughter, Cathy Scheffel, and son Casey came to the reunion also. Myrna tells us she

her bachelorette party at Hilltop restaurant in Timberland.

Saturday night Brady Marschall and his friends had a bachelor party in Hurley.

Saturday night, Mary and John Marschall met Brent and Toni Seiffert at the Red Cedar Campground for a visit.

It’s been a hot week, so I think most people stayed indoors to keep cool.

Saturday was a big day for me. Sue and Larry Winner picked me up to go to Cottage Grove, Minn., to attend the wedding of Nick Pederson, son of Jeff and Brenda Pederson, and Therese Nautz at The Barn in rural Cottage Grove. It was an afternoon wedding and except for being hot, it was beautiful. The reception and dance were held

indoors. Very good food and good music. Congratulations to the happy couple. Jason Schilling was Nick’s best man and his three brothers, Jerid, Brent and Aaron, were groomsmen; also Ryan Nelson and Peter Lechnir.

Jerid and Rachel Pederson and children Elizabeth, Daniel, Joshua, Gabriel and 6-week-old baby Levi came from North Dakota for the festivities. There were several Shell Lake people there. I had many grandchildren there and also Mary and Keith White. It was a good day.

As long as you are over the hill, you may as well enjoy the view.

by Pauline Lawrence saw a lot of relatives she doesn’t get to see. Potluck was enjoyed and Myrna said it was so good. The weeds are growing in Myrna’s garden she says.

Evelyn Melton tells us she’s been taking Cecil to the doctor. This humid, hot weather is very hard on him. Evelyn says she’d got the air conditioning on and it helps. This past week one of their dear friends passed away. They attended his funeral at the Spooner Wesleyan Church. Vicki Trott was down in the Twin Cities joining her sister, Robyn and the girls attended a shower. So probably no card playing for the Meltons.

Jimmy Atkinson, Stacy, Minn., took his parents, Jim and Sandy Atkinson, to Menomonie for the beautiful wedding of Jim and Sandy’s oldest grandson, Kyle, and his bride, Becca Ryan. The newlyweds were married at the Catholic church with a reception and dance following. The newlyweds plan to honeymoon in Superior and Duluth where they plan to kayak. Sunday they opened the gifts and Jim and Sandy stayed for that, renting a room for the night.

Congratulations! Sandy tells us their granddaughter, Marjorie Otto, is planning on graduating the end of December.

Marjorie gets up for a 2 a.m. job until 7-8 a.m. where she works loading UPS trucks. That makes for a long day.

Talking with Beth Crosby, she tells us their sons, Shorty and Tom, have been cutting second-crop hay and building fence.

I see most farmers have done their second-crop hay already. The corn looks fabulous. The soybeans are right behind. It looks like it’s going to be a bumper crop for farmers if they don’t get any storms to total it all out. Corn is now tasseled out, which is great.

I hear gardens are producing beans for canning and freezing. Yes, it’s the time to start canning or freezing that produce from gardens. I’m patiently waiting for my tomatoes to start ripening. Nothing tastes as good as eating the tomatoes right out of the patch. Yumm!

Strawberries at Lindy’s Berries are u-pick only. Yes, they’re getting to the end of their season so get out and get some. Raspberries are now ripening full bore. They make the best jam.

A dear friend, Bev Boyd, called me one night and told me she has moved out of Lakeland Manor to a trailer by Misty Pines in Hertel. She said it was just too small at Lakeland Manor. Bev will be 80 years old come Jan. 4. Bev is near her children, which she loves. Good for you Bev. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Tyler Groenheim, 18, who passed away suddenly. Funeral services were held at the Spooner Wesleyan Church. Tyler graduated from Shell Lake High School this past spring. His parents are Burt and Jill Groenheim, Spooner, and his grandparents are Lois and Dale Stellrecht. May you know you are in our special thoughts and prayers.

Bev Boyd tells me Ray Schultz has moved to Terraceview. Ray is a longtime Dewey Country resident. His wife,

Ruth, was killed in the 2001 tornado.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Douglas Van Sickle, 70, who passed away recently. He was a Shell Lake High School graduate.

Bertha Soelle’s funeral was held at the Spooner Wesleyan Church on Wednesday with burial in the Shell Lake Cemetery beside her husband, Carl. She was a longtime Dewey Country resident. She leaves behind sons Jack, Carl and Paul. May you know you are in our special thoughts and prayers.

July 10, Geraldine Moore passed away. She also was a longtime Dewey Country resident. Geraldine’s husband, Carl, was a great hunter and trapper. They lived on Little Poquette Lake for many years.

A boo-boo in last week’s column. It should have read Lillian Strege spent from Friday through Monday at Jerry and Gretchen Best’s home where the two ladies got in some good gossiping.

Plan to take in the Washburn County Fair in Spooner on July 23-26. There will be lots of things for everyone to do.

At 1:30 p.m. on Sunday it is the talent show with Charlotte Thompson in charge. Give Charlotte a call at 715-731-0065 if you are interested in showing your talent.

On Saturday, Doug and Karen Vanderhoof, Kyle and his friend and son Bennett, Travis and Ashley Vanderhoof, Makenna and Conner and other relatives went to Duluth where they met Trent and Stephanie Vanderhoof, Adyson, Gavin and Ethan for the three little one’s birthday celebration at a park. Karen tells me her garden is doing fine and so are the weeds but she’s had fresh lettuce already. Kate and David Kinde and children, Logan and Megan have now moved into their new house in Somerset. That’s great to hear! Karen tells me they had a baby shower for Drew and Jennifer’s baby, Hudson, recently and lots of relatives attended.

A late, but very happy birthday to Ethan Vanderhoof on his special day, July 4. Ethan is the son of the Trent Vanderhoofs and the grandson of Doug and Karen Vanderhoof and great-grandson of Cash and Nadine Vanderhoof.

Carl and Betty Meister made their annual trip to Hixton to pick those luscious blueberries. Betty says they picked five ice-cream pails full. Beth Hansen joined her parents and picked for herself. Bev and Jarrett Cassellious came and also picked for themselves. Betty says blueberries are a lot cheaper than around our area.

My sister, Dot Gudlin, New Berlin, is getting ready for surgery again. Yes, she has to have her second knee replaced. She had the right one done Oct. 13, 2014, and now will have the left one done. She’s buying extra things she will need while recuperating, which is great. She will have the left knee replaced Oct. 15.

Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

St. John’s German Lutheran Church was built in Shell Lake in 1888 to serve the needs of a growing population of German immigrants who came to the area to homestead and to work in the lumber mill. The pastors at St. John’s also served the German Lutherans in the following communities: Almena, Minong, Barron, Turtle Lake, Bashaw, Barronett, Clam Falls, Cumberland, Pearly and Spooner. In 1962, the church in Coomer consolidated with Shell Lake. St. John’s celebrated their 75th anniversary in 1963. Six years later, St. John’s merged with Faith Lutheran Church in Spooner. — Photo submitted

The former St. John’s German Lutheran Church is now the home of the Washburn County Historical Museum in Shell Lake and is the centerpiece of the historical complex. The museum is open Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the summer.
