Washburn County marriage license fee will increase Danielle Danford| Staff writer SHELL LAKE – Effective Jan. 1 2016, couples looking to get married in Washburn County will be paying $10 more. The fee increase was approved on a unanimous roll-call vote by the Washburn County Board of Supervisors at their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, July 22. The $10 increase from each marriage license approved will be forwarded to the Time-Out Family Abuse Shelter on a quarterly basis. Time-Out is a nonprofit organization that provides safe shelter and services to victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault in the tricounty area of Rusk, Washburn and Price counties with outreach offices in Shell Lake and Phillips; the main shelter and office is located in Ladysmith. According to Lolita Olson, Washburn County clerk, the county averages about 100 marriage licenses a year at a $75 fee which is below the state average of an $88 fee. Kelly Swan from the county’s health and human services department is one of 15 members on the Time-Out board.

The properties are just a portion of lands owned by a private company that owns about 5,200 acres of land in Washburn County. Those properties are now owned by a company called

Meteor Property Investments, a large land-owning company based in Atlanta, Ga. The property in the purchase includes sections 25 and 26 in the Town of Trego and sections 18 and 19 in the Town of Springbrook. Cover types on the property include 386 acres of 24-year-old red pine, 256 acres of 7-year-old red pine, 40 acres of 17-year-old red pine, 32 acres of 45-year-old jack pine, 10 acres of 45-year-old red pine and 53 acres of wetland.

Washburn County Board approves changes to structure of how county will operate

Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Despite the advice of a labor employment liaison, petitions from the affected personnel themselves and public comment against the resolution, the Washburn County Board, at their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, July 21, passed a resolution that restructures two key county positions on a 13-8 vote. Those county board members that voted for the adoption of the resolution are David Haessig, Romaine Quinn, Larry Ford, Tony Baier, Susan Hansen, Michael Bobin, Skip Fiedler, Nell Lee, Thomas Ricci, Del Stoll, Beth Esser, David Masterjohn and Greg Krantz. Those county board members that voted against the adoption of the resolution are James Dohm, Steven Sather, Terry Leckel Jr., Steven Waggoner, Thomas Mackie, Keith Trembath, Clay Halverson and Dave Wilson. The resolution eliminates the position of human resources, combines that position with administrative coordinator and separates the office of county administrator from finance director. The resolution

was amended twice, but only the second amendment was adopted. “This is not the appropriate mechanism to address performance issues. They need to be handled through the proper chain of command, through closed session … by the appropriate body. The personnel committee has the authority over Ms. Frankenberg, the executive committee has the authority over the county coordinator, that’s where these issues need to be addressed. If you’re doing a true reorganization, you need to do it right,” said Mindy Dale, county labor employment liaison, after being sponsored to speak by Wilson. Dale pointed out that the county board didn’t analyze either of the positions, the personnel issues that brought the resolution into being or the potential costs to the county once the resolution is adopted. Dale explained how the county board should handle the situation and gave instructions on the correct procedure to take, but several county board members were observed to shake their heads while

she spoke. The final resolution states the changes will be “budget neutral” but Wilson, District 11, pointed out that there were no job descriptions or pay scales for the positions, leaving the cost-neutral qualification with little standing. In the public comment period before the resolution was brought before the board, two Washburn County department heads and one county employee spoke against the resolution. Mike Peterson, of Sarona, and Washburn County forest administrator, asked the board to consider revisiting the proposal to see if the issues for the resolution couldn’t be resolved by other means. Peterson is an 18-year employee of the county. Jim LeDuc, Washburn County Health and Human Services director, asked the board to support the county’s current administration and to vote no on the resolution. Elly Wyber, Washburn County administration personnel department assistant, voiced her opposition to the resolution and asked the board to support the administration personnel depart-

ment. A statement released on Wednesday, July 22, from Steven Sather, board chair, explained that, “On advice of counsel, until these issues are resolved, the administration office will of necessity continue as presently structured. The executive committee will be meeting promptly to outline a plan for implementation including the roles of the respective county board committees in this process.” The Washburn County Executive Committee met on Thursday, July 23, where discussion was held regarding the implementation of a plan on the board and affected committee roles, the creation of job descriptions for the new positions and the potential budget and fiscal impact of the changes. It was also confirmed that both Kim Frankenberg and Mike Keefe have separate legal representation. It was also determined that Keefe has an employment contract which requires a two-thirds vote for changes to be made that create a fiscal impact.

Peterson explained the benefits of the project include increased timber revenues for the county, preservation of lands for public use, the creation of a new ATV trail connection and preservation of a countyfunded ATV trail bridge. The Town of Trego wrote a letter in opposition to the purchase stating that there was enough publicly owned land in the county and that the town would like to see the property on the tax roll. According to Peterson, 18 of 29 Wisconsin counties eligible for stewardship grant funding have utilized it since 2011. The grant awarded to the county for the project had to be approved by both the Department of Natural Resources and the state’s Joint Committee on Finance. The Joint Finance Committee explained their reasoning for awarding the grant contrary to the town’s input by stating, “their re-

emotional issues. His educational philosophy is that every student has the ability to make a positive impact on our society, and as an educator it’s his job to do everything he can to provide them with opportunities to do so. He also attends and presents at professional conferences and networks with experts in monitoring student progress and growth expectations.

sponse essentially says that the public benefit outweighs the town’s opposition,” Peterson paraphrased. The property purchase was approved on an 18-to-3 roll call vote with Greg Krantz, District 13, Romaine Quinn, District 15, and Tom Ricci, District 6, voting against. Tax implications All of the property in the purchase is enrolled in the managed forest law program which allows the property owner to pay MFL tax rates in lieu of regular property tax rates. The tax rate on this property is 79 cents per acre per year. Since the purchase was approved the county will pay 15 percent of their gross revenue back to the towns which Peterson estimated to be $1,906 a year to each town.

Spooner Area School District has also hired the following staff for the 2015-16 school year: Sara Towne, special education teacher; Mary Gruber, special education/FACE teacher; Jesse Plote, middle school teacher; Megan Grimm, middle school teacher; and Carrie Quinton, middle school teacher. — from SASD

99TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED

Spooner Health System recognized as top hospital for physican communication SPOONER — Spooner Health System was recently recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the 61 top hospitals for physician communication in the nation. To be included, a hospital needed 92 percent or more of its patients to report on their HCAHPS patient satisfaction survey that their physician “always” communicated well. This is 10 percent more than the national average rate. SHS was one of only three Wisconsin hospitals to make the list with a rate of 94 percent. “We are incredibly proud to be recog-

nized by such a nationally renowned and credible source,” says SHS CEO Mike Schafer. “We extend a big thank-you to our physicians for the excellent and personalized care they provide to our patients.” The data used to compile the list was pulled from Hospital Compare and represented HCAHPS survey results collected July 2013 through June 2014, the most recent data available online.

Area news at a glance MADISON — In response to the Thursday, July 16, armed assault on military personnel at two facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., that killed four Marines - including Grantsburg native Carson Holmquist - and a sailor, Gov. Scott Walker has directed Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, Wisconsin adjutant general, to arm certain members of the Wisconsin National Guard while on duty. “Safety must be our top priority, especially in light of the horrific attack in Chattanooga,” Walker said. “Allowing our National Guard troops to carry weapons while on duty gives them the tools they need to serve and protect our citizens, as well as themselves.” Executive Order 168 details Walker’s call to arm certain Wisconsin National Guard members

“as reasonably necessary to preserve the lives, property and security of themselves and other persons subject to the threat of an attack” in Chattanooga and elsewhere. The order states that such attacks are “becoming more prevalent in recent years.” Dunbar said he would take deliberate steps to increase the protective posture at Wisconsin National Guard facilities. “I want to assure the people of Wisconsin that we will take measured, responsible steps to protect our facilities and, more importantly, the people who work and train there,” Dunbar said. The initial plan is to place specific security forces personnel at the four Wisconsin National Guard recruiting storefront locations throughout the state. Walker also directed Dunbar to

evaluate longer-term plans to ensure the safety of service members in Wisconsin. — from Wisconsin Army and National Guard ••• KERNEY, Neb. — A Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association steer wrestler who had just finished in second place in the Spooner Rodeo died Sunday, July 12, near Kerney, Neb., according to the PRCA.

Register Memories 1955 – 60 Years Ago • The Farmers Union Co-op in Shell Lake was having a battery sale. Spark plugs were 45¢. • A curfew ordinance amendment went into effect. The siren would only be used in case of fire or townwide water shutoff. However, a noon blast would be made as a test, which was required by law. The siren would not be used at 9:30 p.m. or 10 p.m., which had been the objection in several complaints made to the council. The curfew law was still in effect and the amendment only changed the operation of the siren. • Potato growers from throughout Wisconsin, College of Agriculture faculty members, ag teachers and representatives of commercial interest serving the potato industry, were among the many who made a tour of Washburn County. The new potato warehouse at Sarona being constructed by West Lawn Farms, replacing the structure destroyed by fire in the spring, was the first stop. • Shell Lake Lodge 221, F.&A.M., was gifted with a gavel of which the head was hewn from a white fine-textured stone, embossed with the Masonic emblem. This stone was taken from the great quarries near Jerusalem and was presented by S.E. Ranson, the oldest member of the Shell Lake Lodge who obtained it from his son-in-law, Brigadier Lt. Gen. H.H. Baird. It was given to Baird by the widow of a Masonic family, during his Egyptian campaign.

1965 – 50 Years Ago

• Selected to represent Washburn County at the state fair dress revue were Elizabeth Furchtenicht, Shell Lake, Excella Club; and Martina Rindsig, Birchwood, of Rise and Shine Club. Alternate was Audrey Kramer, Sarona, of Busy Americans. • The South Dewey 4-H Club observed its 25th anniversary. A cake, decorated like the 4-H clover, helped mark the event. The first president of the club was Jim Swan. Twenty-five years later, his son, Jerry, was the president. • A special subscription rate for new

Compiled by Suzanne Johnson

subscribers to the Register was $2.50 for a year. • A summer clearance sale was happening at Shell Lake Apparel. Culottes – flirts, were $1.99-$2.99; purses were $1.99; blouses were $1.88; boys Bermudas were $1 to $1.99; and boys shirts were 69¢ to $2.39.

1975 – 40 Years Ago

• Kathy Crosby, Happy Corners 4-H Club, was selected as second alternate in the state dress revue at the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis. • Washburn County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor Edward Elliott attended the Upper Mississippi region seminar held at Bettendorf, Iowa. More than 200 district officials from eight Midwest states participated in the threeday meeting. • Bob and Shirley Albee celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. • Specials at Don’s Shell Lake Outlet were Vess canned pop, $2.79 per case, or 8 cans for $1; boys tennis shoes, $1.99 and up; men’s cushion-sole socks, three pairs for 99¢; and girls tank tops, 99¢.

1985 – 30 Years Ago

• Nancy Slater, 1982 graduate of Shell Lake High School, was spending the summer performing with evangelist Larry Lundstrom and his family. • Billie Jo Ailport won the registered Holstein calf given away at the Twilight Meeting by the Washburn County Holstein Breeders Association. The calf was donated by Greg Rindsig of Birchwood. The Twilight Meeting was held at the Herb and Linda Schrankel farm east of Shell Lake. • Awarding of a doctorate in Sweden involved more than a certificate and a handshake. It was a major event, one in which Steven J. Linton, Shell Lake, participated. The son of Mike and Doris Linton, Shell Lake, Steven received a laurel wreath at the University of Uppsala University. Linton earned his doctorate in experimental clinical psychology. Uppsala University was more than 500 years old. • A famous quartet of the late 1940s en-

tertained at the Shell Lake School reunion. Getting together for the first time in more than 30 years were Allan Rylander, Darrel Reinhart, Frederick Knapp and Forrest Toftness.

1995 – 20 Years Ago

• Shannon Dezek, Miranda, Larissa and Derrick Tinsley, all of Shell Lake, had parts as extras during filming of “The Mighty Ducks III” in the Twin Cities. They are all grandchildren of Mary Nelson, Shell Lake. • The Indianhead Medical Center Golf Outing was held at Butternut Golf Course to raise funds for ICHC Shell Lake Scholarship Fund. The first hole-in-one on No. 17 would win a Buick LeSabre provided by Arrowhead Pontiac. • Bill Hoyt and Carl Krantz, from the Washburn County Veterans Service Office, presented county board members who served in World War II with 50th-anniversary commemorative pins. Receiving pins were Art Gillette, Earl Ackley, Bob Washkuhn and Hubert Smith. • Phillip and Tammy Cusick were blessed with a boy.

Thoughts on chocolate

id you know that there is actually a National Chocolate Chip Day as well as National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day? It is a bit confusing as to which day is which. I guess it would be safe to celebrate both national days, May 15 and Aug. 4. Even though the chocolate chip has its own special day, the fact that chocolate comes in many forms other than just a chip gives us cause to celebrate, don’t you think? I guess there is even a National Chocolate Day. It is possible I acknowledged that day by eating chocolate without realizing it was a day set apart for chocolate. In 2015, the National Chocolate Day was Tuesday, July 7. In the June 18, 1964, edition of the Washburn County Register a sentence used to fill up some of the white space on the

page read, “Put chocolate syrup in a plastic squeeze bottle for serving to prevent waste or spillage.” Today we have the option of buying our syrup that is already in a squeezable plastic bottle. I usually make my own chocolate sauce and don’t need to bother putting it into a container to store. I just pour it directly from the saucepan into the bowl filled with ice cream. I rarely have any leftovers. Chocolate, we use it for brownies, cookies and other sweet treats. We have the option of dark, milk and blended cocoa and even white chocolate. In the April 1, 2004, edition of the Register, Theresa Jensen shared thoughts about chocolate in her Grins & Giggles column. Here is what was printed: Thoughts on chocolate • If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you’re eating it too slowly. • A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn’t that handy?

• If you can’t eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can’t eat all your chocolate, what’s wrong with you? • The problem: How to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot. • Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. • Now here’s a diet tip for all you out there who are watching your weight. Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It’ll take the edge off your appetite and you’ll eat less. So I guess, no matter what day it is, if you enjoy chocolate perhaps you can set aside some time to indulge in a little chip of it today. The last report I heard said that chocolate may be healthy for you. Well, maybe dark chocolate in small quantities. Let’s hope this isn’t a hoax.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Presently by Mary B. Olsen ack in the 1950s I had left my home in Illinois and lived for three years in a small town and on a farm in rural Virginia. Already acquainted with farm people at home, I found them a lot like my old neighbors. The South itself was different. We had hot weather back home in the summertime, but the South was extremely hot, from when the sun rose until way past sundown. Fans could move the air around a little, but didn’t help much. People managed to take care of their homes and families, and farm work and gardens were tended. Chores were done. Men worked the land and grew corn and hay, but there were cotton fields and farmers grew lots of watermelons and peanuts. They were friendly folks and very hard for me to understand. We say they drawl, and that is true. They spoke slowly and did not enunciate word endings. Their expressions were new to my ears. “Y’all come back.” You don’t give

someone a ride in your car, you carry them with you. “Carry me back to old Virginny,” like the old-time song, didn’t mean a piggyback ride. Other expressions and sayings had a definite rural flavor. Manners were different, more elaborate, and, “Yes Ma’am,” and “Yes Sir,” and other polite phrases dotted their conversation. In Illinois, if we wanted someone to do something, we might say, “Go and take care of it.” Sometimes someone might say, “Take care of it, once.” That meant sometime today. The people I knew would say, “Will you take care of it, presently?” There was a difference. It meant today. Presently, meant take your time about it. Some things had to be done early, and no one said presently. You just got started, and got it done before the sun fried us and shriveled up our ambition. Presently, I would write a letter home. Presently, I would tend to business. It was a word that made me think of the South as slower paced than my home. In Texas, you mosey along. In Virginia, you take care of it presently. You might take

time to smell the magnolias and munch on cool watermelon. The heat waves and the clouds could pass by and you would, sometime today, take care of it, presently. This is a frame of mind. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may not come, so all you have is now. Presently. Today. It’s a kind of, “Don’t worry, be happy,” mindset. If you were in Chicago, or any major northern cities, you would see people walking briskly along sidewalks, in a hurry. Observe traffic edging in, and horns honking, everything is moving at an extreme pace. It makes me think if someone should slow down, the world would end. People may have a desperate need to hurry in business and it carries over to their personal lives. It’s some folks Type A personality, found all over the country, speeding up the tempo of the environment. This lifestyle of the people is as if they are always on high alert. Back in the South, many years later, this is probably all changed. Maybe the folks are just as hurried as our city rush hours. I did take a trip that brought me to

Virginia, but I could not pay a visit to my rural friends. At the place where we stayed, there were people from India in charge of the hotel. Traffic was quite heavy. Many new housing areas were in evidence, so the entire landscape was altered. More people, more traffic noise and almost like a northern city, with the aura of hurrying humanity hovering over all. When you get older, the past always seems for you to have been moving at an easier pace, I suppose. I miss the farm where I lived, the oak-shaded backyard and the sandy soil, the fields of growing crops, the hound dogs and horses, the bantam hens, the persimmon tree, the azaleas and gardenia bushes, the little country store, the creek meandering beneath the old stone bridges and the nights live with frog sounds. Most of all, I miss the people who spoke with that softly flowing Southern drawl. They seem to whisper to me, “Slow down. Take care of it, presently.”

A Day in the Life: Robots come alive

WHY

Last week, A Day in the Life went to Shell Lake summer school and met some enterprising students making robots. Two groups were able to finish their robot masterpieces on Thursday, July 23. Shown is Caitlyn Skattebo as she explains how the robot tractor she built with Alexis McCracken and Sawyer Schultz works by sucking air in and out through hoses powered by a rechargeable battery.

Edison Leckel, Jared Egbert and Albert Weiner chose to build an EV3Storm robot because it has tracks and it would be harder to tip over. The kit this robot is built from can make several different models of robots including one that looks like a scorpion. While the boys were figuring out all the different things the robot could do, it said, “Hi,” taking them by surprise. – Photos by Danielle Danford

Fred Eaglesmith to perform at The Potter’s Shed

SHELL LAKE — Canadian alternative country singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith will present a solo concert Thursday, Aug. 6, at The Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake. Special guest Tif Ginn will open the show. Reduced advance tickets are available at WOJB. org or 715-634-2100. Eaglesmith is a veteran of the music industry and at the same time is about as far away from actually participating in today’s music industry as one could be. Never operating within anyone’s boundaries, he continues to set the standard for independent artists everywhere. While blazing his own often colorful path he has avoided most of the traps and pitfalls of his peers. His career reads like a manual on how to succeed in music today without trying to fit into the traditional business models. Eaglesmith, a songwriter’s songwriter, has a depth that is informed by miles of experience as a true road dog. He is not only the star of the show but also the bus driver and chief mechanic while on tour, keeping him and his band on the road. Unlike many of today’s artists, touring is not something he does some of the time or only in support of a new record. Touring is his life and The Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Steam Show is one of the last fulltime traveling shows today. Their busy itinerary added up to more than 270 days on the road last year and saw Eaglesmith only returning home long enough to play a handful of local shows and to go into the studio to record the new album. Eaglesmith’s songwriting has earned him multiple international awards and his songs have been covered by

Tif Ginn. – Photos submitted some of the biggest names in Nashville including Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and Miranda Lambert. His music has been featured in films and television scores including those of “True Blood” and “Grimm.” Fred and his band have also performed as the musical guest on “Late Show With David Letterman.” This past year has also seen the launch of a highly successful musical theater production, “Dear Johnny Deere,” inspired by and based on Eaglesmith’s songs.

Show opener Tif Ginn is a gutsy, amazing singer and a transcendent songwriter who has spent most of her adult life touring North America playing music prof e s s i o n a l l y. Ginn toured first as half of the Fabulous Ginn Sisters, releasing three critically acFred Eaglesmith claimed albums as well as part of the Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Steam Show. She took a turn as a solo artist, releasing her self-titled solo debut in April of 2012. As part of the Fabulous Ginn Sisters and the Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Show, Ginn has played over a thousand shows at some of the best rooms and festivals in North America.

A great week last week weatherwise for folks getting hay baled, fishing and camping, boating, swimming, and a nice weekend for all the festivities at the Washburn County Fair in Spooner. Most corn is all tasseled out, the small grains have turned to golden, Fuernot Farm got their oats harvested and in the bunker for oatlage. The young Canada geese are nearly the size and coloration of their parents and have learned to fly. High-pitched musical trill of the tree frogs were heard on these warm evening. Mosquitoes are starting. I have a paper wasp nest under my west window that is growing bigger every day. It’s a real good reason not to wash the window on the outside and I don’t know just what to do about it. The Spooner Tuesday afternoon bowling league is having their fall meeting at the bowling alley on Aug. 11, 6:30 p.m. If you’re interested, we would be glad to have you join us as we’re always looking for both regulars and subs. Jeff Hutton, Amarillo, Texas, got here Thursday night to spend a few days with the kids, Lainey and Chane. He is staying at Greg and Sue Krantz’s. Anton and Gloria Frey had Andy, Emily and baby Brecken, and Jan and Jeff Johnston all over for Wednesday night supper. Sunday evening, Gloria and Anton enjoyed delicious fish tacos at daughter, Jan, and Jeff’s. Ken and Marion Reiter attended a family reunion picnic at the Siren park on Sunday. The reunion was for Ken’s mom’s side, the Gagner family. A potluck, weekend camp out and gathering at the Sauer Pioneer Farm on July 18 included family and friends from Connecticut to California, with Texans, Minnesotans and locals attending. Gathering were: Anne Sauer Rice with her longtime friend, the Honorable Carl

Davis from Redlands, Calif.; Gary Sauer from Chula Vista, Calif.; Jeannie and Bob Hansen, Dallas, Texas, with her sister and brother-in-law, Lisa and Dave Kirwin; and their parents, Bill and Duffy Sauer and Duffy’s sister, Carol Hovey, all from the Twin Cities; Carolyn and Hokey (Sauer) West, their son and daughter-in-law Dennis and Sue West, daughter and son-in-law Paula and Ray (West) Kodesh, all from Long Lake/Rice Lake; Mark and Julie Sauer, Sarona, son Drew Sauer and his girlfriend, Lacey Espeseth, Rice Lake, and their daughter, Dr. Shannon Sauer, Janesville, with fiancé Brandon Brown, Rice Lake, with his son, Braeden; Paul and Cathi (Sauer) Hagen, Sarona, and son Geof Hagen and his girlfriend, Trisha Wilt, with her son Remington, Spooner; Rick and Carla (Sauer) Townsend, Centuria, her daughter, Kristi Hart, and granddaughter Kortney, Amery, and Carla’s daughter-in-law Amy Reiten with baby Kaleb, Poplar; John and Linda Sauer, Sauk City, Linda’s mother, Arlene Braun, Milwaukee, along with Linda’s cousin from Connecticut; Tim and Karen Bernard, Haugen; Brad Doll, Rice Lake; Ryan Silvis, Spooner; and numerous dogs of all sizes. I had coffee with Bonnie Helmer on Tuesday. Her son, Jim Prom, wife and daughter were here for a few days from Excelsior Springs, Mo., staying at the motel in Shell Lake. That day they had gone up to Gooseberry Falls for the day. Sister Verna Clyde was at her daughter Karen and Richard Olson’s in Mackey Valley a couple of days. I visited with her on Wednesday, as did sister Nell Lee, going to Trego Riverbend for noon lunch. Elaine Ryan and I went to Webster to visit Sharon Wilber on Saturday. I see fields of sunflowers nodding their heads along CTH H. We saw a medium-sized black bear

at the end of grandson Craig Furchtenicht’s driveway coming home. Twin grands Autumn and Alexis spent a few days at Grandpa and Grandma Roger and Cindy Furchtenicht’s. While here they took in the fair at Spooner, went swimming with Uncle Troy Coulter and girls, Pearl and Kia, went four-wheeling with Uncle Casey. I had the family over for Sunday breakfast so they could spend some time with me before they took them home to Barron. They will be moving to Colorado this week. Grandson Craig and wife Sarah stopped by for a nice visit Sunday afternoon while out on the motorcycle. Jillian and Jaxson Furchtenicht both placed in the kids tractor pull at the fair. Congrats to them. I took a turn at the museum booth and at the schoolhouse at the fair. That’s always fun. It’s worth it for Charlotte’s cookies. Happy birthday wishes to Emily Pfluger, July 30; Mark Benjamin, Julie Sauer, Harold Stephen Jr., July 31; Karen Ullom, Swanee Wennerberg, Gene Parker, Aug. 1; Vicki Lyons, Debbie West, Ben Elliott, Justin Hemshrot, Joanne Melton, Wyatt Whitney, Sue Ellen LaVeau and Marlee Fields, Aug. 2; Darlene Johnachek, Mark Oberstar and Judy Schroder, Aug. 3; Angela Quinn, Denny Luy, Nancy Swanson, Nancy Harrell, Anna Belle Robertson turns 2, and Verna Clyde, Aug. 4; Allan Zaloudek, Keith Kemp, Carol Anderson and Drake Anderson, Aug. 5.

Jessica Colbert earned the best of the show with her cake decoration. Like many of the 4-H members showing at the fair, she was in a wide range of shows and exhibits, her favorite is her horse project. “Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys,” are the lyrics to a popular country song, but this is headed in that direction. Shell Lake third-grader Malachi Norton was the champion mutton buster and all-around arena helper during the 4-H horse project competition. He plans to be a rodeo performer following a former Shell Lake graduate, BJ Burton, who is competing in the college rodeo circuit.

UW Colleges announces new regional leadership approach Budget reduction plan preserves high-quality student experience

MADISON — Responding to historic budget cuts, the University of Wisconsin Colleges announced Tuesday, July 21, it is adopting a new regional leadership approach that will significantly reduce overall costs while preserving the quality of its students’ educational experience. “While our share of the overall UW System budget cut was eventually reduced, the nearly $5 million cut that we are left with is the largest in our history. The challenge we face is not new, but it is now acute. We can no longer avoid taking significant action,” said UW Colleges and UW-Extension Chancellor Cathy Sandeen. “The reforms we are developing, with extensive and valuable input from our internal and external stakeholders, will help UW Colleges position itself for the future.” Under the new model, the 13 UW Colleges campuses will be grouped into four regions, with a single executive officer/dean for each region. One associate dean will be located on each campus and will oversee day-to-day operational needs. The four regions are: • North: UW-Barron County, Rice Lake; UW-Marathon County, Wausau; UW-Marshfield/Wood County and UW-Marinette. • Northeast: UW-Fond du Lac, UW-Fox Valley, Menasha; and UW-Manitowoc • Southeast: UW-Sheboygan, UW-Washington County, West Bend; and UW-Waukesha • Southwest: UW-Baraboo/Sauk County, UW-Richland, Richland Center; and UW-Rock County, Janesville “In making these changes, we are staying true to our key priorities and our mission: to ensure access, to provide the highest level of instruction and services to our students and to uphold our commitment to the communities that invest in us,” Sandeen said. “I have been strongly committed throughout our budget reduction processes to protecting our academic program, which is our core mission.” Only $100,000, 0.25 percent, will be cut from the instructional budget. No faculty positions will be eliminated. There will be no campus closures. As part of the plan, UW Colleges will also consolidate or reorganize a variety of functions that are currently per-

formed within campus administrative offices including human resources, business, university relations, physical plant, dean’s office and general administrative support. It is expected that the equivalent of about 83 full-time positions will be eliminated, largely in campus administration. “These reforms within UW Colleges are the culmination of significant, thoughtful and long-term planning,” said UW System President Ray Cross. “I am confident the changes ahead will keep our UW Colleges and the UW System strong well into the future. We will continue to work with Chancellor Sandeen and others at UW Colleges as the reforms are implemented.” Regent President Regina Millner said every UW System institution and campus community has been focused on helping manage the challenging budget reductions. “University leaders are thinking creatively and exploring every opportunity to achieve savings through meaningful transformations and reforms,” she said. “There are still significant steps to take, but the UW Colleges plan is a strong example of the UW System’s commitment to carefully examine how we can maintain a quality education for students by doing things differently outside of the classroom and lab.” The UW Colleges’ budget went into effect July 1. To prepare, Sandeen announced a first round of budget cut decisions in May. The second and deeper cuts were delayed until the state budget was finalized and UW Colleges’ portion of the UW System reduction was set at nearly $5 million. To accommodate the cuts and unfunded compensation commitments, UW Colleges now must reduce its annual budget by $5.6 million. Student Governance Council President Graham Pearce, a student at UW-Marshfield/Wood County, said, “I appreciate that the student experience has been the central focus in planning the UW Colleges’ response to budget cuts.” Pearce is one of the student representatives involved in planning for the implementation of budget cuts. “These decisions are both critical and extremely difficult,” Sandeen said. “We are consolidating and regionalizing our administrative functions so that we can keep our promise to Wisconsin students, families and communities to provide access to a high-quality University of Wisconsin education.” — from UW Colleges

Be on the lookout for wild parsnip Kevin Schoessow | Agricultural development educator, UW-Extension Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn counties SPOONER — Wild parsnip — Pastinaca sativa — is an invasive plant that is becoming more and more established in Burnett, Polk, Barron, Washburn and Sawyer counties. It is commonly found in roadsides and other open grasslands, such as nonmanaged pastures and hay fields. Once established, it can spread rapidly and can invade prairies and undisturbed grasslands. What makes this plant especially troublesome is that when the sap from the plant comes in contact with bare skin that is then exposed to the ultraviolet rays from sunlight, it can cause blistering burns. This reaction, known as phytophotodermatitis, can be quite painful and the blisters are often confused with poison ivy rash. Fortunately parsnip blisters do not spread; the reaction occurs only where plant sap and sunlight reach the skin. Plants that are dead and dried do not exude the sap so they do not cause a reaction. Wild parsnip is a biennial plant that grows in sunny places and tolerates dry to wet soils. After seeds germinate, plants develop a cluster of basal leaves called a rosette. After overwintering the plants send up a hollow, grooved flower stalk that can grow to a height of 4 feet

or more. Each flower stalk has many flat-topped clusters of tiny yellow flowers that bloom in June and July. These flower clusters can be up to 8 inches in diameter. Plants die after seeds mature, usually by late August. Wild parsnip is not a plant that we necessarily want on our property, or roadsides or other areas where people and livestock may unknowingly come in contact with it. In addition it can thrive and aggressively spread and disrupt natural ecosystems. If you see this plant or other invasive species consider reporting them to improve our understanding of their spread. Reports can be provided online through the Great Lakes Early Detection Network website, gledn.org. Simply click on submit an observation, select wild parsnip as the species and use the interactive map to select the location. A free app is also available for android or Apple smartphones that allows users to take a picture and confirm identification. To download the app, search for GLEDN or visit apps. bugwood.org/apps/gledn/.

henever is a gracious word that sounds very comforting when someone offers to help us when we are going through a difficult time. We know that someone will help when we dial 911. Our homes are wrapped in security systems in case someone tries to enter if they are not invited. There are endless alerts available to notify someone, somewhere, if we fall, encounter pain or face an emergency. We are to be thankful for these and many other devices that let us know that help is available. In Psalm 34 we are reminded of the realities of life. “God’s eyes,” says David, “are on the righteous,” his “ears attentive to their cry.” So, whenever the righteous cry out, “the Lord hears them.” Not may or might hear them, could or should hear them, but will hear them. We do not have to get in line, dial a number on a phone or press a button. Just call out. Whenever. David is very realistic about life. He’s been there and endured that. When he speaks about the tragedies in his life, we can enter into his experience with him. We have walked through the deep valleys as he has and have stumbled through similar shadows. Christians are not given a free pass to a life without problems. But we are given the assurance that God is more than present. “His eyes are on us” and “His ears open to us.” So, when our hearts are broken by the tragedies of life, our spirits crushed in grief, our joints ache and our illnesses never seem to end, he’s with us!

Dewey-LaFollette Greetings to people in the area from Don and Eleanor Grunnes. Hank and Karen Mangelsen visited Marlene and Bruce Swearingen on Wednesday afternoon. Zach Myers is visiting his grandmother, Kris Fjelstad, this week. Zach is from Las Vegas, Nev. Visitors of Lida Nordquist at various times during the week were Joleen and Richard Funk, Jan, Jim, Caleb and Hannah Schott, Rick, Angie and Warren Funk, Marlene Swearingen, Donna Hines, and Pam and Bob Bentz. Weekend guests of Nina and Lawrence Hines were

Dewey Country Flowers are in full bloom. Yes, our side roads are just loaded with beautiful colors, from yellow, white to many other colors. A very happy anniversary to my niece and nephew, Susan and Tim Pederson, Amherst. Tim and Sue are married 32 years on July 30. Have a wonderful day. A very happy birthday to Emily Pfluger as she enjoys that special day July 30 with many more to come A very happy birthday to Jim Quam on July 31 when he turns 58 years old. Already Jim?

Is that right Mark? To Joann Dahlstrom, Greta Johnson and to Ashlyn Mitchell. All have a wonderful day. A very happy anniversary to Tom and Lois Hodgson on Aug. 2. The Hodgsons now live in Arkansas and are very happy there. Lois is a former Dewey Country resident, the daughter of Ralph and Pauline Smith. Happy birthday to Jeff Redding and also to Bill Forrestal on Aug. 3. Enjoy that special day guys. Aug. 4, a very happy birthday to Tom Biver as he enjoys his special day. Have a wonderful day Tom. He is also a former Dewey Country resident but is now married and lives by Yellow River. A very happy anniversary to Jeff and Penny Ladd as they celebrate 20 years together as man and wife on Aug. 5. Many more to both of you from Mom. Life has changed with three kids now. I see lots of out-of-state cars in Spooner. Yes, when I went to Economart this past week I had quite a time finding a parking place. But it’s nice to have people come to our area and enjoy themselves, leaving lots of cash behind! Our deepest sympathy to the family of John Shimek, 76, who passed away from cancer on July 17. John is a graduate of Shell Lake High School and leaves his wife and a brother, Ray Shimek, Sarona, plus an adopted daughter and an adopted granddaughter. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Debbie Doriott, 54, who passed away July 5, at her Dewey residence. Debbie is a longtime Dewey resident. She leaves behind her husband, Don, and three sons and three grandchildren. Our hearts and prayers are with the Doriott family at this time. The Doriott family had their share of problems as they also lost their home to fire. You know nobody has reported seeing a bear lately here in Dewey Country. But I do know of one going through a yard a couple of weeks ago. Not only a bear, but deer and also a bobcat. We had a fisher in our yard two years ago and it didn’t see to be afraid. I don’t care to have him in my yard. Talking with Sandy Atkinson she tells us the newlyweds, Kyle and Becca Beaufeaux, stopped to see their grandparents on Friday night. They stayed over and had a great visit. The newlyweds left about noon on Saturday for their home in Elk Mound. They honeymooned at Mackinaw Island camping for the week. Now it is back to the old grind. Becca is working at a greenhouse for the summer and come fall she will be teaching music at St. Joseph School in Rice Lake. This week I was a-smackin’ my lips. Yes, I had two ripe tomatoes and I ate one and it was so good. I hope the rest ripen soon. I also have peppers on now. I enjoy my little garden. Talking with Carl Meister, we find third crop is about ready so they started but will wait a few days for it to get bigger. Monday it was haircut day for my two pups. Yes, they get such long hair in the summer and they don’t even like to go outside in this heat. I really can’t blame them with the heat and humidity. We had a tenth of an inch of rain on Friday morning and a great rain that evening. I just hope it keeps coming to give those farm crops a boost. Last Sunday, Diane Hulleman and her friend, Robin, from Lakeview Medical Center, left to have a great old time together. Yes, they went to Indiana with Robin driving. While there they attended the play, “Steel Magnolias,” ate a meal at the Amish retaurant, took a buggy ride through the countryside, went to a huge flea market with five auctioneers, and stayed at Amish hotels, which were so clean Diane says you could practically eat off the floor. Diane tells us they enjoyed the meal with the cook having seven children. The buildings in the area are so clean Diane says and the houses right along with it. The children who are so clean and dressed so nice and so

by Karen Mangelsen Colin, Chad, Jenny, Aubrey and Ashley Harrison. Visiting Gerry and Donna Hines during the weekend were Brian, Mark and Sue Hines, and Edgar and Dianne Rodriguez and children. Guests of Maynard and Ronda Mangelsen over the weekend were Jeff and Jackie Peterson from the Twin Cities. Jeff is Ronda’s nephew. Desi and Aubrey Rosselli visited them also. Lawrence, Nina, Donna and Gerry Hines joined Ted and Joanne Hines, Allie and Lorna Erickson, Barb Hinze and several other relatives for lunch at the Pour House on

Sunday. Mary Dunn, Byron and Sandy Wickman, and Karen Mangelsen were among a number of people who attended the open house at Roosevelt Hills on Sunday afternoon. Roosevelt Hills is a wedding and event center owned by Kelsie and Mitch Coyour. The main building is the Roosevelt School, which has been extensively redecorated inside while still maintaining much of the look of the original structure. The grounds also include an amphitheater built into the hillside and an open-air reception area.

by Pauline Lawrence well-mannered impressed Diane. She says the kids were outside being so social and enjoying the great outdoors. Robin and Diane came home on Thursday night. Yes, Diane is at it again. She baked a pie for Don Taylor and took it up. Curt Ziemer looks good today. Yes, I was told he looked good but still has to have more tests. We hope they show nothing. Lida Kay Nordquist is going to move to Frederic when her house is sold. We certainly hate to lose you, Lida, but do understand. Lida will be closer to her daughters and granddaughter. Good news! Yes, we find Cody Pettis was planning to come home Sunday, July 26, after spending almost four months in the hospital after he was hurt so bad in a car accident. He has to make up two credits in high school and will take more physical therapy. It’s great to have you back in Dewey Country, Cody. Ginny and her grandson, Jackson, were out to Diane Hulleman’s on Saturday. Diane loves that little Jackson, telling us he’s 2 now and so funny but he does listen also, which is good. I’m going to get on the good side of Diane and have her bake a pie for me. Hint, hint, Diane! Robin Melton was home for the weekend at her folks, Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s. While home she mowed the lawn and did other work. The Meltons’ daughter Vicki Trott, does the Meltons’ grocery shopping in Rice Lake. Maybe I can hire Vicki to do mine as I certainly don’t like to grocery shop. Every time I get groceries, it seems like the prices are up. Karen Vanderhoof tells us Doug’s niece, Amanda McKenzie, is getting married in Wyoming. Her grandparents, Cash and Nadine Vanderhoof, plan to attend. Congratulations are in order as in St. Petersburg, Fla., the stork delivered a daughter, Ava Lorraine, to new parents Kevin and Jess Best. Their little darling girl weighed in at 7 pounds, 6 ounces and was 20 inches long. She arrived July 23. Very happy grandparents are Jerry and Gretchen Best of Shell Lake. Gretchen I’m sure is all smiles about that little granddaughter as they now have a grandson and a granddaughter. Kaleb was 2 years old in April so he was taken to the hospital to get acquainted with his new sister. Kevin is a former Dewey Country resident. On Saturday, Jerry and Gretchen Best attended the reception, which was catered for Gretchen’s cousin, Jerry Skoby, and his bride, Vicky. The reception was held at the newlyweds home and people came out of the woodwork to attend the reception, which Gretchen says was so nice and the food was delicious. Be very careful when pulling out of a side road. Why? Well, the weeds are higher than a person can see over, both ways. Hopefully the town board will hire someone to cut these weeds before there’s an accident, usually Burnett County. Congratulations to Tyler and Katie Crosby who took top honors at the Washburn County Fair. Yes, Katie took grand champion for her steer and Tyler took reserve champion. Tyler also took supreme grand champion for his dairy animal. Little Alycia Crosby took second in the kiddie tractor pull while her sister and brother, Isaac and Josie, enjoyed riding the mutton bustin’. Shorty hauls the cattle home after the fair, which is so nice of you, Shorty. For supper at Beth and Garry’s were Shorty, Melissa Crosby and Tyler and Katie, and Tom’s family. Shorty helps clean up the fairgrounds Sunday afternoon and evening. After church last weekend, Butch and Loretta VanSelus headed for Wisconsin Rapids where they attended the district assembly, staying overnight for four nights. Butch said it was very nice to go. On the way home they took another route through Amish country and enjoyed the countryside and the beautiful farms with lots of flowers on the farms. Butch tells us they came out by Ladysmith. Butch says he loves to go for drives and look to see what others are doing and the countryside is so beautiful now. Thursday they went to the horse pull at the fair in Webster. Saturday they attended the Washburn County Fair and enjoyed watching the judges judge the cows. They also took in the beautiful things in the buildings. Butch says he will be getting raspberries in the fall as they are blooming now. Yum! The Scott Kunselmans who have the strawberries at Lindy’s don’t have any raspberries. I don’t know if they died or what but they say next year they’ll have them. The Rick Larsons have left Dewey Country as I see there is a sign for sale by their house. We certainly hate to lose any of our residents here in Dewey Country. Penny and Jeff Ladd and children, Rem, Ry and Ree, are taking a vacation to the Dakotas and possibly Yellowstone National Park. Penny will be teaching driver’s

ed come Aug. 10. Lisa Mangelsen, former Dewey Country resident, now works at Economart in Spooner. She lives in the former Angie Quinton house. We’re glad to have you back in Dewey Country. Those blackberries in the woods should be getting ripe now. I remember Sunshine and myself would go picking berries and I know that one day we picked 40 quarts in our woods. But to have blackberries, you have to cut trees and brush down and probably have cattle in there and at this time Richy doesn’t have cattle in there. I’d be afraid to be in the woods alone though. When the crew in Shell Lake gets through making new roads, it will widen the road and be safer. They are certainly working to get it done but still have only two lanes going through Shell Lake. Crops are doing well. Yes, the corn has now tasseled and it’s onward to ears. If you’re walking in your cornfield, be careful for listeners. After all, now all that corn has ears! And for heaven sakes don’t cuss. I’ve been getting flyers in the mail advertising sales on school supplies. Hey there, stores, give kids a chance to relax and have fun. Janie and Rick Lauterbach took in the Washburn County Fair with their three little ones, Noah, Ellianna and Grace. Noah and Ellianna rode the sheep in the mutton bustin’ and enjoyed riding and falling off. Buddy Quam did very well with his pig in the Show and Sale as did others. Three rabbits were bought for $700. Must be good eating. Sunday there was a birthday girl. Ellianna Lauterbach was 5 so her mom and dad had 10 little girls in for a party. The girls did so much for entertainment and later had cake and ice cream. Janie tells us Rich Lauterbach had his first football game at River Falls where he will starting his first year of college. Ryan is 15 and into football and basketball at Spooner High School. Now for that sweet story. It seems like Jim Quam found a mother cat that had died and left five baby kittens to be taken care of. Well, Jim called his sister, Janie Lauterbach, and asked her if she could come out to the farm and take a look and see what she could do. Well, Janie and Rick and family went out and Janie became the mom of five little kittens. Janie said they didn’t weigh much and were so small but she called the Spooner Vet Clinic for advice. Janie put the five charges in a small cage and the kittens did very well. Well the kittens are at the very cute stage now and they had two females and three males. The females have found new homes and now Janie, Rick and the three little ones are definitely in love with the three males. So how do you give a kitten up? That’s hard. Jim did tell Janie he would take the kittens back to the farm but Janie says they would just die. So it looks like the Lauterbachs have three new members in their family. As for Jim, well he has a very soft heart and he takes the time out of his busy day to feed the cats and kittens in the hay barn or on the walk. Yah Jim, I love yah too! Janie says she has canned pickles from her garden. She has four raised boxes and has about every kind of veggies in there and they’re doing just great. It was so very sad to hear of the death of Carson Holmquist, 25, who died in an unfortunate shooting in Chattanooga, Tenn. He leaves behind a wife and 2-year-old son. His funeral was Saturday with Gov. Scott Walker attending. Carson was raised in Grantsburg. If anyone would like to donate to a fund set up for his wife and son, it’s at Hiawatha National Bank, P.O. Box 729 N. Cascade St., Osceola, WI 54020. You know here in Wisconsin we are all so sheltered. Yes, we don’t have those terrible fires like are raging through California and Montana, no tornadoes like they have in many stated, no floods, no shootings like they have in many states. Yes, we certainly are sheltered here in Wisconsin and in Dewey Country from so much damage. And of course, Dewey Country is country livin’ at its best! Scatter sunshine! Have a great week! P.S.: A note to Janie and Rick Lauterbach. I have the answer to your problem and here it is. Keep the three tomcats until next spring. Now as sad as it will be for you, two of the tomcats will leave, leaving you only one. This is what tomcats do like in our Congress. They go seeking another place they think is better than the one they have and try to make a new start. However, I must warn you, come this fall you might find the three tomcats on your doorstep along with their offspring.

Stone Lake

by Mary Nilssen

Dave and I received a letter in the mail this week that I would like to share with everyone. A grandmother and her grandson, Cameron, were shopping in Walmart in Menomonie on Friday, July 3. The first thing Cameron would ask no matter where they would go is if he can go see the fishing tackle. He fishes every day where he lives in Waseca, Minn. It’s all he lives for and talks about. So, he went to look at lures and Grandma told him to call every 10 minutes on his cell. On the second call to Grandma he wanted to know where she was in the store and went to find her. He proceeded to tell her about this man that wanted to buy him a musky lure. Of course Grandma questioned this but he kept insisting that it was true and then told her the man wanted to know if there was an adult with him. So, immediately, the grandma said, “I want to meet this man!” At least 15 minutes went by and they thought surely the man would no longer be there, but Cameron said, “There he is.” He was there waiting for them. The stranger was very young and the grandma asked him if he was the one that wanted to buy Cameron this musky lure and he said, “Yes.” The grandma said, “Why?” totally dumbfounded. He looked at Grandma and said, “I saw this boy showing interest in fishing and I asked him if I could buy him that lure. “When the stranger was a young kid like him, he loved fishing, too, and just wanted him to stay interested,” Grandma hardly had enough words for what she was feeling and how she felt about this young man. He handed Cameron $20 and told him to have a good time and good luck fishing. Then a young lady that was with this young man came over and told him to be sure to wear sunscreen. Grandma kept saying to Cameron, “Who does this anymore?” and she couldn’t believe what just happened! As they were walking away Grandma thought, I didn’t get this young man’s name, so she had Cameron run back and have him jot his name and address down. Cameron got his name and forgot to get his address. When Grandma got home she looked

him up on Facebook and there he was in Spring Valley. This young man’s name was Jacob Howe and his parents are Amy and Tim Howe. The young lady with him was his sister, Kali. Jake and Kali are our grandchildren and we are so proud of them and wanted to share this story with everyone! It is so great to hear about positive things youth are doing. The meat raffle fundraiser for the Cranberry Crew Relay for Life team of Sawyer County held at the Red Schoolhouse Wine Shop on Saturday, July 25, went very well. A big thank-you to all who participated. The relay will take place on Friday, Aug. 7, at the Wesleyan Church grounds in Hayward. The opening ceremony will be at 6 p.m. You can go online at relayforlife.org/sawyercountywi.

Two viewing events are planned for Wednesday, Aug. 5, so that people can come and see the work for themselves and verify the accuracy of information there, including Town of Sand Lake tax receipts for 1906, Town of Stone Lake assessment roll for 1908, 1919 plat book for Sawyer County and 1915 for Washburn County and many other research documents that have provided information as accurate as possible. The meetings will be on Wednesday, Aug. 5, at the Lions Center. The first meeting will be 10-11:30 a.m., and the second meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. They hope to see many of you there. The historical society also extends gratitude to Robert Lampman of Spooner who has provided invaluable information on the Lampman family in early Stone Lake. They are making use of this information as they complete this report. Northwest Wisconsin Realty LLC is moving. They will be moving on Tuesday, Aug. 4, from their current location at 5790 Hwy. 70 to one block east to 5810 Hwy. 70, Stone Lake. They feel this move will help them serve their clients and customers real estate needs in a more convenient and recognized location. Teri Heath, broker associate, invites you to stop in anytime to pick up info on all area listings in NW Wisconsin, local brochures, maps and area info. This office will also host the Stone Lake Area Chamber Information Center. The farmers market is still going on each Thursday from 2-5 p.m., in downtown Stone Lake, behind Marie’s Hideaway. Don’t forget to mark Friday, Aug. 7, on your calendar for the Relay for Life cancer walk. Have a good week and be safe! Mary Nilssen can be reached at 715-865-4008 or upnorthnils2@gmail.com.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING CITY OF SHELL LAKE June 8, 2015

Mayor Sally Peterson called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. Council members present were Edlin, McCumber, Shelton, Jenderny, Burns, Harrington and Schultz. Member absent was Andrews. Also present were Dave Wilson, Danielle Moe, Mitch Brown, Randy Baker, Patrick Malloy, Teresa Anderson, Jeri Bitney and Andy Eiche. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. Shelton moved, seconded by Jenderny, to approve the minutes from the Special City Council meeting held on May 11, 2015. Motion carried. Burns moved, seconded by Harrington, to approve the minutes, as presented, from the Regular City Council meeting held on May 11, 2015. Motion carried. Public Comment: Randy Baker commented on concerns regarding the Tax Incremental District #2 (TID#2). He does not feel the City should consider filing TID#2 as distressed. He believes over 50% of TID#2 is residential, which results in his taxes going toward the TID, not the school. In his opinion TID #2 and TIDs in general, are not working too well. Brown presented the Public Works Director Report. Peterson thanked Brown for doing a great job considering the Public Works Department is currently down one employee. David Wilson presented the Police Chief report. He pointed out that the report does not reflect the activity of June 8, as he was too busy to add the day’s events to the report. He will include them in next month’s report. Wilson and Jenderny are working on the ATV signage matter. Eiche presented the Zoning Administrator report. Peterson presented the Plan Commission minutes. Peterson presented the Library minutes. She also announced her appointment, as a City representative, of Mellissa Haines to the Library Board. Mayor Peterson moved the Ehlers Presale Report next on the agenda. Patrick Malloy presented the Presale Report. Harrington asked if the financing includes the 2013/2014 Street Project. The answer was yes. Shelton asked why the $81,000.00 would be used to reduce the debt amount. It was explained that the $81,000.00 was budgeted in case the City would have been required to make a payment in 2015. Since the Street Project was not completed as soon as hoped, the payment in 2015 would no longer be necessary. Therefore, it is appropriate to use the $81,000.00 to reduce the amount of the loan request. Malloy explained their next move to begin negotiations with Shell Lake State Bank. He will then come back to the City Council in July to present the results of the negotiation. At which time the City Council can rule to accept or deny the offer. EXECUTIVE/HR COMMITTEE: Peterson presented the minutes. PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION: Schultz presented the minutes. He announced the City’s second pickup had arrived, and will be picked up soon. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION: Peterson presented the minutes. FINANCE: Edlin presented the minutes. Schultz moved, seconded by Edlin, to approve vouchers 2292-2459. Motion carried. Budget Status Report was presented. PARKS AND RECREATION: Harrington presented the minutes for Parks and Rec. He also informed everyone that the committee would be meeting in the field next month to do their annual Park inspection. Shelton pointed out the recommendation from the minutes regarding the request by the Shell Lake Youth Baseball Club. It was decided the City Council would hold a special meeting on June 17, at 4:55 p.m., in order to move on the recommendation. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Eiche informed the committee on the schedule he established with Alan Harvey, Community Code Services. Mr. Harvey has agreed to have the completed revisions for our entire Code of Ordinances by no later than June 26. At which point Eiche will hand the Codes over to the City Attorney for inspection. Mr. Harvey will then present the revised Code of Ordinances to the City Council on August 10, 2015. NEW BUSINESS: Peterson appointed City Council President Ken Schultz to the Joint Review Board. Jenderny moved, seconded by Harrington, to approve the appointment of Ken Schultz to the Joint Review Board. Motion carried unanimously. Harrington moved, seconded by Burns, to recommend to the Joint Review Board to approve Brad Pederson to serve on the Joint Review Board as the citizen at large. Motion carried unanimously. MAYOR’S REPORT: The General Administration committee agreed to have a June meeting to be held on June 23 at 5:00 p.m. Schultz moved, seconded by Harrington, to adjourn at 7:54 p.m. The motion carried.

Scenes from Shell Lake summer school

Preschool Pals is a summer school class that prepares young students for their first year of school. These students have already made the transition from home to school. This fall they will be eager to go to school.

Anne Bryan helps her young students, Jacoby Harrison and Noah Bush, in robotics class. The students had hands-on learning as they made robots.

The first session of Shell Lake summer school started on Monday, June 15, and finished on Friday, June 29. The second session started July 13 and ended Friday, July 24. The students were excited to learn more in summer school, taking classes in art and photography. — Photos by Landon Deneen, Cub Reporter Class

SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake Arts Center will host Trumpet Workshop with Robert Baca and the second week of music theater camp during the week of Aug. 2-7. Trumpet Workshop gives the intermediate to advanced trumpet student, performer and pedagogue the opportunity to play and discuss trumpet all day and every day for a week with Robert Baca. All attributes needed to build musicality and “chops” will be discussed along with performance applications for orchestra, concert band and jazz ensemble. The master trumpet faculty will perform in a free concert on Monday, Aug. 3, at 7:30 p.m., at the lakefront pavilion in Shell Lake. The second week of music theater camp features classes in improvisational acting, vocal production and jazz dance technique.
