STATEWIDE - The Wisconsin American Legion Riders and State Commander Ken “Rhino” Rynes have formally announced a threeday motorcycle ride across the state Monday – Wednesday, July 1416, to raise money for the American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund, which provides college funds for children of military personnel killed since Sept. 11, 2001, Gold Star Kids. Over 60 bikes are committed to participate in the effort, dubbed “Rhino’s Run,” which will traverse 900 miles and pass through 30 Wisconsin counties. Medal of Honor recipient Gary Wetzel of Milwaukee will participate on the ride which will culminate at the Johnston - Blessman American Legion Post No. 38 in Appleton on Wednesday, July 16. “Since September 2001, some 11,000 children have lost a parent in service to our country. These children are the innocent casualties of war,” said Rynes, of American Legion Post No. 13 in Richland Center. “The American Legion’s Legacy Scholarship Fund was created to ease their burden, and we’ve established a goal of raising $50,000 to do our part,” he continued. The total survivor benefit for children of military personnel killed on active duty is slightly more than $26,000, to be used for a college education. In today’s dollars, this benefit will pay about half of what a college education costs in the most affordable situation. This gap widens when projecting future college costs. Conservative estimates call for an increase by 5 percent per year, meaning that in 16 years, the most affordable college education will be $94,332. Military compensation will not keep up with these dramatic increases. The American Legion’s Legacy Scholarship Fund is designed to help fill the financial gap for these children. Individuals interested in supporting with their tax-deductible donations can register for Rhino’s Run online at wilegion.org. - submitted

Primary Aug. 12; contests for both parties Deciding elections for Polk and Washburn county offices Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BURNETT, POLK AND WASHBURN COUNTIES – The Aug. 12 primary election includes Democratic and Republican Party contests to see who those party’s candidates will be in the November election. But in two Republican con-

tests, Washburn County sheriff and Polk County clerk of court, the primary is the final election.

No Democrats filed for either office. Each party has six contested races in the three-county area.

The Wisconsin primary date is now a month earlier than the mid-September date used until 2012. Voters can only vote for candidates of one party in a Wisconsin primary, which means they

Volunteers needed for community assessment Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Details of the destination assessment conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism were discussed, in addition to the future of the butterfly garden, during a meeting of the Shell Lake City Council’s parks and recreation committee meeting on Tuesday, July 1.

In May, the Shell Lake City Council passed a motion to participate in a destination assessment that is offered, at no cost, to municipalities

by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism to determine opportunities for expanding the area’s appeal to visitors.

“Our first step is going to be getting a committee together to do this,” explained Michelle Voight, Washburn County Tourism executive director. Voight appeared before the committee in the absence of Drew Nassbaum, Northwest Wisconsin regional tourism specialist, to

A carefree Fourth A carefree day at the beach, swimming, sunbathing or just relaxing, was a great way to enjoy the long Fourth of July weekend.

Volunteers/from page 1 explain the program and start its implementation.

The assessment will involve conducting two surveys, one for Shell Lake residents and one for visitors to the community.

Voight explained that goal numbers for completed surveys are for at least 75 residents and at least 300 visitors. Surveys can be conducted at any of the events held in Shell Lake, like the July 3 fireworks, the art crawl and Town and Country Days.

“So what we would need is a few volunteers to help be out there with clipboards for a half-hour here and there,”

said Voight. The Washburn County Tourism Office will then compile all the data collected from the surveys and turn it over to the assessment committee that will go over the responses and create a strategic plan for Shell Lake.

Fifteen people will be needed on the assessment committee to help form a plan for Shell Lake’s future as a destination location. All surveys will be due back at the county tourism office by Monday, Sept. 15.

Diane Dryden came before the committee to address the future of the Happy

Tonics Butterfly Garden located adjacent to Farley’s Auto Body in Shell Lake. Last September it was learned that the garden would be impacted by the Hwy. 63 construction project.

“What we are trying to do is re-establish the butterfly habitat as an attractive, informative, interesting middle section,” explained Dryden. According to Dryden the habitat is too large for the current habitat caretakers to maintain and downsizing it will aid in its improvement. Sandy Stein has been working with Dryden to think of interesting ways to revitalize the

garden to generate more interest in it.

“We want to expand on the direction we are going. We are not going in a different direction, we are simply making it better,” explained Dryden. The exact impact of the Hwy. 63 construction on the garden is unknown, but two of the side sections of the garden may be given up.

In 2007 the Shell Lake City Council granted the Happy Tonics organization, now dissolved, the permission to plant the garden.

Gordy’s County Market hosts educational tour Gordy’s County Market in Rice Lake was the host and supporter for an educational grocery store tour held recently for young adults from the Workforce Resource Center of Barron and Polk counties. The tour was sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Extension, Nutrition Education Program. Kathy Splett, WNEP Barron/Polk County coordinator/educator, and Bonnie Cremin, WNEP Polk County educator, led the Cooking Matters at the Store tour to teach the participants that healthy food doesn’t have to break the bank. It all starts with the cart. Families on a tight budget report that the cost of healthy groceries is their biggest barrier to making healthy meals at home.

Food skills, like smart shopping, can help overcome that barrier. Cooking Matters at the Store is a free program of the No Kid Hungry campaign that empowers families to stretch their food budgets so their children get healthy meals at home.

For more information about this program or others with the Wisconsin Nutrition Education Program, please contact Kathy Splett at the Barron County, University of Wisconsin-Extension Office, 715-5376381. - Photo submitted

Watch out for our feathered friends We are now heading into the month of July, and in Washburn County that means that the farmers are eager to harvest their hay and whatever else they may have planted. Our summer resident birds that come all the way from southern shores also have an interest in these fields, as they nest in these same fields, and around the middle of July their young are ready to fledge and the trip north is not for naught. It would really be neat if the farmers, the birds and the weather could work together and produce optimum results.

However, the birds can’t talk, the weather doesn’t give a hoot, and the farmer has to make a living and of course pay taxes.

The birds can argue that they were here first. The farmers will echo that there isn’t a meadowlark in the world whose name exists in a plat book.

It is not my intention to criticize. Most

farmers are aware of the situation and try to work with nature. This paper is intended to reach out to the fellow in the field that doesn’t always have time to think about our feathered friends and the fact that he may be tearing this little obscure creature’s home apart along with his offspring. Hopefully, it will all come together and our pastures and fields will revert to what they once were — a benefit for all.

Field-nesting birds of Washburn County are bobolink, meadowlark, redwinged blackbird, song sparrow, savannah sparrow, grasshopper sparrow, field sparrow, dickcissel, clay-colored sparrow, vesper sparrow and the horned lark.

RICE LAKE - The 2014 UWBC Math Boot Camp is being offered to prepare people to enroll in university-level math courses. The five-session short course will run July 28 and 30 and Aug. 5, 6 and 7, at UW-Barron County in Rice Lake. Participants will meet from 6-8 p.m. in Room 204, Ritzinger Hall.

Course instructors are UWBC senior lecturer Scott Friess and associate lecturer Sam Judnick. They will help students build confidence in solving math problems and get students prepared for more

complex math classes. As designed, the curriculum will help students pace their learning, reviewing and building on fundamental math concepts. Through a series of “checkpoints,” students will self-assess and discover areas of success or areas that need improvement.

The registration fee for the 2014 Math Boot Camp is $139. To register contact Deb Neuheisel at 715-234-817, ext.

Low supply of butter means prices could soon rise Low inventory is due to increase in butter exports Noah Ovshinsky | WPR NATIONWIDE The nation’s butter inventory is much lower than it usually is at this time of year, which could mean higher prices for consumers.

Thanks to recent research suggesting it’s not as unhealthy as people once thought, butter is back in vogue. Unfortunately, butter stocks are low, especially when compared to the last few years. Dairy economist Mary Keough Ledman said higher exports are behind the drawdown.

“A year ago, basically the United States was about the only place in the world that had excess butterfat,” said Ledman.

“So over several months, butter exports went from 10 million pounds a month to 20, 25, 27 million pounds a month.”

With milk plentiful, spring is usually the time when the industry builds up its butter supply. Ledman said low inventory now will likely translate into higher prices later.

“More than 40 percent of our butter consumption occurs in those fall months like September, October, November, December,” she said. “They are really the key draw for consumer demand, and quite frankly we’re going to have higher prices than a year ago.”

The dairy industry may know demand will pick up around the holidays, but that doesn’t mean it will produce more butter.

“There could be a reallocation of milk away from the production of other dairy products in order to increase the stocks, but that would mean that there would be less supply of those other products and those could go up (in price) as well,” said Brian Gould, an agricultural economist at University of Wisconsin-Extension and a professor in the department of agriculture and applied economics at UWMadison.

Gould said higher butter prices are part of trend seen elsewhere in agriculture.

He notes that consumers are also paying more for pork and beef at the supermarket.

A lemonade stand is as American as the Fourth of July. Natalie Martin and Sydney Greenfield combined the two to raise money for the Washburn County Area Humane Society animal shelter.

The two Spooner fourth-graders volunteer at the shelter walking and playing with the dogs. They raised over $150 in just the first two hours they were open on Thursday, July 3, and they had planned to stay open for several more hours. — Photo by Larry Samson

Spotlight on the Village Players Community Theatre

Priscilla Bauer | Special to the Register DANBURY - Cast members have only three weeks more of rehearsals before this summer’s the Village Players Community Theatre production, “Where There’s A Will, There’s A Murder,” hits the stage.

Veteran VPCT actor and director Kitty Holmquist is directing the wacky comedy written by Michael Druce and produced by special arrangement with Heuer Publishing LLC of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

This season’s VPCT play will be performed at the Voyager Village Community Center located on CTH A east of Webster Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, July 24, 25, 26 and 31, and Aug. 1 and 2, at 7 p.m., with Sunday matinees, July 27 and Aug. 3 at 2:30 p.m.

Spotlight on the director Holmquist takes on directorial duties again for this season’s production.

Holmquist and her husband, Steve, who will be producing this year’s play, have been Voyager Village members since 1992.

Holmquist has been a part of the VPCT group since 2006, directing “Over the River and Through the Woods” by Fred Carmichael.

Since then she has either directed, acted in or produced several other productions as well as participating on the VPCT Board. Her most recent appearance onstage was playing the part of M’Lynn in “Steel Magnolias” by Robert Harling.

“I loved working with that group of talented ladies,” commented Holmquist.

“We were really close the whole time. It

was quite an emotional experience for me.

“Directing, though, is really my favorite thing to do,” noted Holmquist. “I get to boss people around and I rather enjoy the authority. Just kidding, but in all seriousness, the ‘Steel Magnolias’ cast was a fun group to work with and an exciting play to perform.”

Holmquist is an English teacher who currently works from home, teaching people from other countries how to speak English via online learning.

Holmquist and her husband, Steve, who has run the lights and sound for VPCT productions for about eight years, live with their two dogs and two cats in Voyager Village. She is grandmother to two granddaughters with a third on the way in September.

“My favorite things to do are playing with my granddaughters, golfing, reading, teaching computer classes and, of course, directing plays. I feel quite blessed.”

Holmquist is happy and excited for the opportunity to once again be directing VPCT production.

Washburn County accident report The following accident reports are from May 31 to June 22. From June 6 to June 22 a total of 11 animal-vehicle accidents occurred. There were two reported bearand-car accidents with the remaining nine reported as car-and-deer accidents.

Saturday, May 31 At approximately 10:15 a.m., Paul Rizzo, 64, Spooner, was northbound on Hwy. 53 approximately a quarter mile from Boot Lake Road in the Town of Sarona, driving in the left lane, when William Figura, 90, Cameron, also northbound, changed lanes from the right lane to the left lane. When Figura changed lanes his vehicle hit Rizzo’s vehicle. After striking the vehicle, Figura’s vehicle slid to the grassy median, rolled across the southbound lane of traffic on Hwy. 53 and came to rest on the ditch line. Rizzo’s vehicle came to rest at the shoulder and median of the northbound lane of traffic. In his statement, Rizzo estimated he was going 68 to 70 mph at the time Figura’s vehicle hit his. Neither man was seriously injured in the accident.

Figura’s vehicle was totaled and towed from the scene. Rizzo’s vehicle sustained moderate damage. Rizzo and the vehicle’s co-owner, Keith Gillis, each received citations for not installing a required IID device. If found guilty both could receive a $150 fine. Figura was cited for unsafe lane deviation and could be fined up to

$175 and have four points deducted from his license.

At approximately 12:59 p.m., Laura Oscar, 68, Trego, driving a motorcycle, was northbound on the Hwy. 63 entrance ramp preparing to enter Hwy. 53 in the city of Spooner. While negotiating the curve of the entrance ramp Oscar went off the roadway into the grassy ditch line. Alex Greely, 21, Spooner, wrote in his statement that Oscar appeared to lose control of the motorcycle, which flipped and landed on Oscar who then slid across the highway into the northbound lane of traffic. Oscar suffered incapacitating injuries in the accident and was transported to the hospital. The accident report states she was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. The motorcycle received severe damage and was towed from the scene.

Tuesday, June 3 David Bennet, 61, Trego, was operating a 1992 Ford F-150, north on Hwy. 53 and was 100 feet from Boot Lake Spur Road in the Town of Beaver Brook, when he blew a tire and lost control. Bennet exited the roadway, crossed the northbound lane of traffic on Hwy. 53, continuing down the steep ditch through brush and trees, coming to rest up against trees. Bennet did not suffer any injuries in the accident but the truck was totaled. Bennet received a citation for operating after suspension, his

third offense. He could face a $200 fine and have three points deducted from his license if found guilty.

Friday, June 6 Evander King, 21, Cook, Minn., was southbound on Hwy. 53, one-half mile from CTH D in the Town of Sarona. King, driving a 2002 Chrysler Voyager, lost control and drove off the roadway rolling the vehicle once before it came to rest on its wheels. King did not appear to have suffered any injuries in the accident. The vehicle was totaled and towed from the scene.

Tuesday, June 10 At approximately 6:01 p.m., Jade Wemette, 17, Spooner, was driving north on New Knapp Road in the Town of Bashaw when he lost control of his 2001 Ford Focus in the road’s soft shoulder. Wemette overcorrected, spun around and overturned in the opposite ditch. Passenger Callie Williamson, 15, Spooner, suffered minor injuries.

Wemette did not suffered any apparent injuries. The vehicle was totaled in the accident and towed from the scene.

Thursday, June 12 John Gardener, 72, Gorda, Fla., was southbound on Hwy. 63, one-tenth mile from Larson Road in the Town of Springbrook, when he lost control of his vehicle. Gardener said he was reaching for a road map when he lost control,

overcorrected and rolled once, striking trees before coming to a stop. Gardener was not injured in the accident, but the vehicle sustained severe damage and was towed.

Tuesday, June 17 At approximately 1:15 a.m., Ernest Kessler, 76, Trego, reported that a vehicle had hit his motor home and left the scene. Daniel Botty, Washburn County sheriff’s deputy, responded to the Kessler residence at the intersection of CTH E and Carrol Road in the Town of Trego.

Deputy Botty found a license plate with the registration KL6150 in the brush by the damaged motor home. The plate was registered to Kyle Ray-Tannehill, 21, Springbrook. Botty made contact with Ray-Tannehill at his residence and noticed his face was bruised and he had cuts on his hands. Ray-Tannehill stated that he was looking at his phone when he missed the corner, went through the brush and struck the 1994 Chevrolet Dutchmen motor home. Ray-Tannehill was cited for not reporting an accident, and faces up to a six-point deduction and $389 fine. He was also cited for owner liability for property damage, with a possible fine of $200. — Danielle H. Moe with information from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department

Plans change

“Y

ou will never be in complete control of your life. It just isn’t possible. You want to feel completely safe and secure. But even if you plan out every detail, the world will mess up your plans.” - Sarah Young, author As a nation, we have recently celebrated our birthday. With the Fourth of July being on a Friday and the weather being pleasant, many made plans for family gatherings that would last the entire weekend. As we have two campgrounds near our home and people that camp in their vacant lot across from us, our little town was abuzz with activity.

Daughter Amanda and her husband, Carl, and three children were at our house to celebrate the holiday. Each Fourth of July, our little hamlet of Clam Falls has a parade. Milt used his creativity to build a Disney’s “Frozen” float for granddaughter Adalyn to ride on in the parade. Taking an old boat trailer, he created the unit with a piece of plastic plumbing, foam packing material, tablecloths, glittery tape, snowflakes that Adalyn colored, along with frilly craft ribbon.

Before starting up the grill to cook a couple of steaks, our family decided to play in the water of the Clam Falls Flow-

age. I dangled my feet in the water off the dock while son-in-law Carl gave Adalyn and Cole slow rides on the jet ski near the shore. Amanda and Milt were keeping granddaughter Charlotte entertained with a stroller ride. After having a few rounds with the kids, Carl took the watercraft for a buzz around the lake. Our plans for the day took a turn for the worse as I witnessed Carl having an accident with the jet ski. I hollered for Milt to call 911 while others in the vicinity came to assist. We were fortunate that a fishing boat and a pontoon boat made it to Carl in what seemed like less than a minute. They were able to get him to shore before the county water rescue arrived.

In the time it took for the local ambulance to arrive on-scene, I quickly gathered up items I thought we might need at the hospital. Carl was transported to the Burnett County Medical Center in Grantsburg from where he was airlifted to Regions in St. Paul.

The “Frozen” float was still a part

of the parade as the family camping near us hooked the float to their truck and pulled their children through the parade route. Adalyn didn’t seem to mind that she missed the parade. The next day she asked me if we could have a parade.

Since we were staying at her house in Woodbury, I said no, but we would bring the backdrop to her birthday party later this month.

Carl is back home now recovering from a broken nose, a concussion, multiple lacerations on his face, trauma to his left eye and a loose tooth.

On Thursday, July 3, I was discussing with a customer that I still needed to write my column for the week. He said perhaps I would have something about the Fourth of July to write about. I guess he was right.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner The good old summertime

by Mary B. Olsen In my childhood days, the advent of summer meant freedom. Once out of school for the next three months, the days ahead seemed to stretch like a path of gold. Those first days of vacations from school were wonderful. I could sleep late in the morning and spend the days with neighborhood friends and my sister and brothers.

What did we do with the valuable free time? We played school. My sister and some of the girls would gather on our front porch and get out the nearly worn out pencils and tablets and stubs of crayons we brought home from school on the last day. One of us would pretend to be the teacher and we would play school.

After a few days, we were past that, and we did other things. There were some chores to do to help parents and errands to run for someone, but we were mostly left to our own devices.

Spread out a blanket on the ground, and you had a nice outdoor place for girl things. We could bring our dolls and dress and play with them. We could play with paper dolls. We could search for four-leaf clovers. If we found white clover we could pick some and weave them into chains. If the hollyhocks were in bloom, we could pick the blossoms and make little dolls with silk dresses and bonnets out of the blossoms. We could read stories. The reading in summer

could be done any time, rain or shine.

There were things to do other than at home. We could go to other girls’ homes.

Some kids could ride bikes. Another thing to do was go for a hike. We could look for wildflowers in the same woods where our mother had found them when she was a child. Once in a while some boys would have a baseball game in the road on the corner. They might let us play.

There were a couple of parks in town where they had planned activities for kids. I went there once, when I was 10, and they had us sing and play ringaround-the-rosie. A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket, one, two, three, and they all fall down. They had beanbags and a board with a hole in it.

You aimed the beanbag at the hole and tried to get it through. There were some crafts for older boys. One man directed them and they used a handsaw to make wooden items. Girls couldn’t do that. I decided I didn’t want to go there another time. It was more fun to stay home and spend time with neighbor girls.

The best thing about summer was I could go to visit my cousins. They lived in a town about 40 miles away. I could stay there for a week and my cousin could come and stay at our house for a week. I could take the bus all by myself and come home on the bus. It cost 35 cents. That was the high point of my summer. One cousin was my age and another girl was my sister’s age. We had the best times together.

10th-annual Evening with the Stars Gala planned at the arts center

SHELL LAKE — Live music, hors d’ouevres, sweet desserts, and a wide variety of raffle and silent auction items will make Saturday, Aug. 9, a memorable night for guests of the Evening with the Stars Gala in Shell Lake.

Home to the longest running jazz camp in America, the Shell Lake Arts Center provides a lavish evening of entertain-

T

he last two weeks were quite busy down at the Shell Lake boat landing. In the past two weeks, the inspectors checked a total of 299 boats. No vegetation was found during the inspections. Saturday, June 21, was the busiest day we had these last two weeks. That day had 56 boats.

No new questions have been asked this week, but people

I had cousins in town, too. I could visit my aunts homes, and go to my grandmother’s house. I could stay overnight at times there. The neighbors there were like my neighbors, and every evening people would sit on their front porches and stroll over and visit back and forth.

All the kids would run around with fruit jars and catch lightning bugs. I always let mine go, after I had seen their pretty lights all together in my jar. We played games and did cartwheels on the grass.

As I grew older, I became a paper girl, and I had to deliver papers on my Main Street route. My brothers had routes, too. The papers were thrown onto our porch early, and we delivered them. On Saturdays, I had to collect the money from the people. My customers were downtown stores and some were houses where families lived. There were several taverns. Only one was open on Saturday mornings. I had to walk into it by myself. It was dark in there. That was scary, the first time I ventured in, carrying my paper bag across my shoulders. There were two men in there, one on each side of the bar. I think I was shaking in my shoes.

One said, “Here comes our little Peoria Star.”

That’s what was written in block letters on my paper bag. The two men laughed and I guess I handed one of

them the paper. I wasn’t scared anymore.

I asked for the money. After that I went in there bravely, and they called me their Peoria Star.

I had other summer jobs as I grew older. We went strawberry picking at a farm. I worked for a farm lady and stayed there for the summer when I was 14. I was baby-sitting, and doing housework for people. It was nice to have spending money. I helped my mother with the garden and the canning.

On Saturday nights there was always a band concert on Main Street. The local band played and they had singers, as well. We got dressed up and went to hear the music. We sat on the curb and some of the little ones danced around and there were moths flying around the bandstand lights. We could buy a cool drink at the drugstore or the ice-cream parlor. You would see friends and have a nice time.

We had time to learn about our world.

In the night, sometimes, we could lie out in the backyard on a blanket and look at the stars.

We went to a swimming pool. Our family always went on picnics where we could swim in a creek. The best thing about summer was the freedom to go where you liked and make your own plans.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Dianne Loomis who died recently. Her husband, Jim, was a teacher at Shell Lake for a number of years.

day at Jerry and Gretchen Best’s. Gretchen tells us they got a lot of visiting in.

July 2 was Butch VanSelus’ birthday so Butch and Loretta went to Rice Lake to celebrate at Applebee’s. July 3, the VanSeluses went to Shell Lake to watch the fireworks. July 4, they were invited to Matthew and Cory Stone and children’s, to their new home in Rice Lake.

They had a grill-out and later watched the fireworks. The Stones moved to Rice Lake with Matthew only 1-1/2 miles from work and Cory about two miles to the post office where she works. Come Thursday night you will find the VanSeluses at the rodeo in Spooner.

Good news! Phyllis Rath called me recently with the following: Billet senior drill instructor Staff Sgt. Eric J. Bessant, United State Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parrish Island, S.D., graduated his fourth platoon of Marines on May 30. His next platoon will begin with 65 recruits to train. He is the grandson of Phyllis who lives in Spooner, the son of Vanessa Lawrence Haft of southern Wisconsin. Bessant is married and his wife was also a Marine and is now a full-time mother to their two children. Phyllis was gone for 35 days attending ball games and eating out and taking care of her daughter Vanessa, who had surgery. Her daughter Vicky Mararie had a picnic for relatives. Quite a large number of relatives showed up, all enjoying visiting and eating. Phyllis’ daughter Teresa Smekens and hubby, from southern Wisconsin, brought Phyllis back to Spooner. Phyllis says she had a great time but was tired.

Great news! Dorene Larson called me this past week and gave me a great news story. On June 28, at the Lakeview Methodist Church here in Dewey Country, Doreen and her honey, Rick, renewed their wedding vows. Yes, they have been married 36 years and it was about time, Dorene says. She loves being married and loves her honey and is ready to give him another 20 years. Rick tells us he’d do it all over again. A party was held at their son Rick’s, on Nelson Road where everyone enjoyed the party. What a wonderful idea! Last weekend the Larsons had a family reunion at the Siren Park. On July Fourth, the Larsons attended a reunion at the Cumberland Park given by a nephew.

A lot of relatives attended the reunion and reports all had a great time.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Motorcycle riders are required to have a motorcycle license

SPOONER — As motorcycles continue to grow in popularity among men and women of all ages, there also is a growing need to prevent motorcycle crashes. Last

State patrol law of the month

year, 83 motorcyclists died in Wisconsin traffic crashes and nearly 2,000 were injured.

To help prevent deaths and injuries, the Wisconsin State Patrol urges riders to get trained and get licensed. About 35 percent of motorcyclists’ fatalities from 2003 to 2012 involved riders who had not completed the safety training or skills test required to obtain a motorcycle license.

A regular Class D driver’s license for

Bison, multispecies pasture walk to be held east of Spooner SPOONER — UW-Extension and the NW Wisconsin Graziers Network will hold a bison, beef and hog pasture walk at the West Wind Family Farms, owned

by Steve and Lorri Hubin, on Saturday morning, July 19, from 10 a.m.-noon. The farm is located on Wind Road, four miles east of Spooner on Hwy. 70 on the south side. Watch for the signs. Beverages will be provided.

The Hubins raise 65 bison on contract throughout the year for Northstar Bison in Haugen. They raise 43 black Angus beef cows and market 20-40 grass-finished feeder cattle each year. There are 17 sows

of mixed breeds, Poland-China, Duroc and Berkshire. About 100 feeder pigs are sold each year. The Hubins use a grazing plan for the bison from NW Graziers.

Steve established a 33-acre oak savannah for the bison. He still works for the Red Oaks Lumber business at the same location, which he sold to his son, Dexter, last year.

For additional information, contact Otto Wiegand or Kevin Schoessow at UW-Extension at Spooner, 715-635-3506, or Randy Gilbertson at NW Graziers, 715520-2112. — from UWEX

operating automobiles and light trucks is not sufficient for motorcycle operation.

Motorcycle riders must also have a Class M motorcycle license. Riders who do not have a valid motorcycle license may receive a citation costing $200 per violation.

“Too many people continue to ride without a motorcycle license,” says State Patrol Lt. Dori Petznick of the Northwest Region/Spooner post. “It’s a serious problem, especially for those who have not ridden a motorcycle for several years and are beginning to ride again. Riding a motorcycle requires more physical skill and mental concentration than driving a car, so riders need to get trained and get licensed for their safety and the safety of others on the road.”

Obtaining a motorcycle license is not

complicated. Motorcyclists must pass a written test and a road test at a DMV service center. Motorcyclists who successfully complete one of the following Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program courses do not have to take the road test at the DMV to get their license.

• Basic Rider Course for Motorcycles, • Basic Rider Course for Scooters, • Basic Rider Course for Three-Wheel Motorcycles (trikes), or • Basic Rider Course 2, for intermediate or advanced level riders.

More information about rider training courses is available online at the Wisconsin DOT website: dot.wisconsin.gov/ safety/vehicle/motorcycle. — from WSP

Monday was a beautiful day just like it was on July 7 64 years ago on my Johnnie’s and my wedding day!

It was so nice weatherwise for all the festivities over the Fourth of July weekend. Hope rodeo weekend is likewise as there are performances Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, along with a lot of other fun things that go along with a rodeo.

Crops in the area are looking real good. Most corn was 3 feet by the Fourth of July in spite of late planting. Elaine Ryan reported that crops right here in our area looked better than any they had seen when she went along with Rocky taking a load of beans to Red Wing, Minn.

Oats have turned to golden, waving in the wind on the LeRoy Haynes field on School House Road.

It’s time to make second-crop hay at Fuernot Farms, so hope this week they get some weather for it.

Deerflies are showing up. Fireflies are flashing their intermitting lights. They are as beautiful to watch as the fireworks were and they were great at the campground Saturday night and reports are that the Shell Lake fireworks were good too.

While mowing the lawn on Wednesday, I had to swing around a turtle that chose the middle of our backyard as a great place to lay her eggs.

They mowed along our roadside in our town this past week, also had some patching done.

There’s been a lot going on in the past 10 days since my last writing. Saturday, June 28, it was a surprise 85th birthday party for Mavis Schlapper held at her home, hosted by her kids, Pam Cernocky of Elk Mound, Ann Pestores of Emmons, Minn., Karen Kline and Wayne Schlapper from Stevens Point. Lots of food and fellowship. Many more is wished for her.

Casey Furchtenicht was best man for his friend Brett Holman’s wedding that took place at the Full Gospel Church in Shell Lake on June 28. Congratulations to the newlyweds, Brett and Hannah.

There was a good turnout at the Roost on July 1 for the Madge-Sarona monthly folks get-together, enjoying great food and fellowship. Nineteen women and a dozen men attended.

I attended the funeral for Dianne Loomis at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Shell Lake. It was a beautiful service for a great lady with a church full of family and friends remembering her.

Congratulations to RoseMary Zaloudek and we wish her a happy retirement after 29 years at the Red Cross Pharmacy in Spooner.

The entire Frey family camped from Thursday through Sunday at their cabin site on Little Ripley. Wayne Berman pitched his tent and stayed over on Saturday night. They enjoyed the night bonfires and cooking out.

Les and Sandi Vogt spent a few days last week at the Legendary Waters Casino campground, Bayfield, and enjoyed the city. The wildflowers, especially the lupines, and city gardens were in full bloom and they enjoyed the shops full of artists wares.

Folks around Big Ripley had an enjoyable Fourth of July weekend. Jim and Nancy Swanson had a group over to socialize Friday night and most cabins had visitors enjoying the beautiful weather, the lake, fireworks and arts festival in Shell Lake.

Virginia Stodola spent the Fourth of July at a birthday party for her cousin, Camilla Johnson, her 96th, that was held at her son’s, the Dean Johnsons, in Haugen. Dean’s brother, Lane Johnson, came and got her for the occasion.

Vivian Bergman’s nephews, Scott, and wife Karen and family from the Twin Cities, and Brian and wife Laura and family from Eau Claire, and her brothers, Gene and Kathy, and Denny and Judy, Rice Lake, were there together for the Fourth of July.

Willie and Vicki Lombard had his mom, Dorothy Lombard, out for her 88th birthday last weekend and some of her kids joined them to help her celebrate. Belated wishes Dorothy.

Harold and Karen Stephen were supper guests at Willie and Vicki Lombard’s on Saturday night. Get-well wishes to Harold who is recovering from recent surgery.

The Ralph VanMeter family and some friends got together at Aaron and Kerrie Gamboni’s for a pig roast Saturday. Family attending were Russ, Nancy Furchtenicht, their boys and families, Sue and Tooker Weathers, their son Zach and JoEllen of Spooner; Karen and Rob Taylor of Reedsburg, Laurie and Tim Studt, Ripon, their son Nick and wife Hannah and girls Ruth Ann and Evelyn from Roberts, aunt Audrey Baker, Holman, who was here for 10 days staying with Ralph and Arlene VanMeter; Dorothy and Ronald Woodyard, Sue and Steve VanMeter and Allen from Springbrook, Tim and Kim VanMeter and boys from Luck, Bob and Carol Nesbitt, Eau Claire, Mary and Kyle Gustafson and Kristen, Onalaska, Sarah Jamme’s dad, Ken, and Branden and Danielle Parker and Blake, Shell Lake.

Jay and Ann Okonek, brothers Steve and Keith and their families, his mom and dad, Dave and Kathy Okonek, and his aunt Mary Okonek went to McKenzie Landing for a BBQ on July Fourth.

A big resort and very nice, where they enjoyed mini golf, gocarts and lots of indoor and outdoor water slides. They enjoyed the resort’s fireworks as well as three other firework displays from neighborhood resorts. Had a great time with their kids.

He had recent visits from daughter Joan from Alaska and Victoria and husband from the South and from his sister, Virginia, from Colorado.

I helped at the Washburn County Historical Museum’s pie social on Saturday. There were lots of delicious pies and had a good turn out. The problem with most folks was there were so many choices that it was hard to decide which piece to choose.

Remember Saturday morning, July 12, there’s Cakes at the Lake at Hunt Hill Sanctuary in Sarona. It’s all-youcan-eat pancakes, etc. Following is a free nature program on Getting to Know the Real Bats. Hope you can make it.

Independence Day at Shell Lake

Shell Lake Fire Chief Keith Dahlstrom lights the 6-inch mortar-style fireworks. It is the largest of the fireworks and will explode 600 feet in the air, forming a brilliant display. Dahlstrom replaced Dave Zaloudek who stepped down after many years so that he can enjoy the display with his grandchildren.

RIGHT: Shell Lake firefighter Steve Soltis gives Eric Olson of Davenport, Iowa, a tour of the pumper truck the department owns. For the 4-year-old this was better than the fireworks.

The mortar tubes must be cleaned between every shot so the trained firefighters work as a team to safely clean the tubes. If a tube does not explode correctly, that tube will be left to avoid any accidents. Safety is the No. 1 mission before, during and after the fireworks display.

Anna Mikula, Breeanna Monson, Eric Haines and Natalie Jury were dressed for the Independence Day celebration. It was a fun day to hang out with your friends and enjoy the fireworks.

The Spooner Fire Department provided the fireworks display on the hill between the high school and elementary school. The Spooner Fireman Auxiliary was selling root-beer floats to help offset the cost of the fireworks from the city and fire department.

The new ice-cream shop was hopping as people came to enjoy the 16 flavors of real, hard-scoop ice cream and the 1950s decor.

Caravan of Thieves coming to Shell Lake

Old-fashioned pie social benefits museum

Caravan of Thieves will perform at The Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake on Saturday, July 19. — Photo submitted SHELL LAKE — New England’s Caravan of Thieves are on tour in support of their new single, “Dead Wrong.” The song is exemplary of a band on the high road to musical perfection and channels pop bliss through their trademark lock-tight, turnof-the-century, bang out a beat on anything that can take it approach. They will present their high-energy show at The Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake on Saturday, July 19, at 7 p.m.

Like many families, Caravan of Thieves was started with a married couple – Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni – guitar, vocals, various percussive instruments – writing and performing as a duo. By the spring of 2008, Fuzz and Carrie had extended their family to include fiery violinist Ben Dean and double bass madman Brian Anderson, completing their colorful vision.

In that first year, Caravan of Thieves won immediate praise for their unique blend of gypsy swing and popular music. Since

then the band has taken their dynamic live experience on the road, sharing stages with world-renowned artists such as Emmylou Harris, Dan Hicks, Nanci Griffith, The Decemberists, Tom Tom Club, Iron and Wine, and many others.

Their infectious live show has also caught the attention of festival promoters across the nation and the band has enjoyed appearances at Summer Camp, Chillicothe, Ill.; Mountain Jamm, Hunter, N.Y.; Herndon Festival, Herndon, Va.; Musikfest, Bethlehem, Pa.; Four Corners Folk Fest, Pagosa Springs, Colo.; Catskill Chill, Hancock, N.Y.; and more. Their website is caravanofthieves.com.

Advance tickets are available at The Potter’s Shed Gallery in Shell Lake, on their website thePottersShed.com, or by calling 715-468-4122. Gates open at 6 p.m. for pizza, snacks, desserts and drinks.

The event will be held indoors if raining.

The check will help pay for upgrading the electrical system at the fairgrounds as well as the food court area. “We appreciate the generous support from local businesses,” said John Morris, chair of the entertainment committee for the fair.

Heart Lake

by Helen V. Pederson

Written for last week A group from Glenview went to a play at the Erika Quam Theatre on Thursday afternoon.

Our Bingo Lady, Pam, who volunteers to call Bingo here at Glenview, was bitten by a tick and was very sick and put on antibiotics, but she came on Thursday so she is recuperating.

There are a lot of mosquitoes around. I understand the males don’t bite; it’s the females, naughty girls.

The president was in the Twin Cities this past week.

He was on TV. If everything seems to be coming your way, you’re probably in the wrong lane.

Written for this week We have certainly had nice weather this week. Days are sunny and warm. I hope you had a nice holiday. Shell Lake was a busy place with the campgrounds full. The night of Thursday, July 3, fireworks were followed by band music on Main Street. Glenview was rather quiet, but we did get to watch the fireworks inside without mosquitoes. We enjoyed popcorn, too.

Last Tuesday, our Swedish pancake ladies came and did a great job of pancakes, sausages and fresh strawberries. Those who helped Karen Ek with the pancakes were Nan Rounce, Shirley Gallop and Linnea Olesen. I

had a short visit with Linnea, and she told me she has done traveling and also attended the wedding of Greg Hegstad’s daughter near La Crosse.

We enjoyed a trip to the bank for ice cream on Friday, June 27, and also a nice afternoon at Jim and Kathy Shattuck’s in Trego on June 1.

On July 2, Jean Odden from Cumberland and her daughter, Kathy Granzin, of Park Falls, stopped here to visit me and we had a great visit.

Ruth Swan attended the 90th birthday celebration for Jack Porter at the community center, which was really nice. Happy belated birthday Jack!

Visiting Ruth Swan were Mark and Joni Parker from Delaware and Sarah (Parker) Ballew and children, Audrey and Emmett. They also visited Donna Parker here and other relatives on Sunday, July 6. Matt and Jessie Parker and son, Hunter, of Hudson spent the day at the Parkers.

Brent and Toni Safert spent the evening of July 3 at John and Mary Marschall’s and took in the fireworks at night. On the Fourth of July, the Marschall family enjoyed a big party in Amery that John Marschall’s mom, Wealthy, has for relatives and friends. On Saturday, Mary Marschall went to Duluth along with Ashley Anderson, Sandi and Angie Anderson shopping for dresses for the wedding of Ashley that is coming up.

The

Brent Pederson and Nicole Cummings attended a wedding of friends in Barrow on Saturday afternoon.

Arlys Santiago enjoyed the fireworks on Thursday, July 3. On Saturday, she spent time with Heidi and Chuck Hile, Logan and Olivia at their cabin on Shell Lake. Also there was Lynn and Gary Berguis, Connie Richter and Jene Morey. It was perfect weather to be on the lake.

On Saturday, July 5, Cheri and Steve Minot hosted a large party for her dad, Peder Pederson, for his 85th birthday at their home. Peder’s daughter, Linda, and James King and son, Zak, of Bentonville, Ark., came to spend a few days. Curt and Martha Pederson and son, Phillip, and wife, Bethany, of Woodbury, Minn., Bethany, Derek and Phillip of Hudson, Tonya and Michelle Minot of Eau Claire and Eric Minot of Minneapolis, all attended. Jeff and I also attended. It was a lovely party with 38 guests attending. Birthday blessings, Peder.

On Saturday evening, the Pederson family went to Drags in Rice Lake for pizza. That was quite a full week.

“T

he heavens proclaim the glory of God!” Do they really? When the writer looks into the heavens does he really believe that he can see God? Does he see an outline of God in a constellation? Are there stars shining somewhere that actually point to God’s eternal residence?

No. This Psalm, more than any other, reflects the beauty, splendor and handiwork of God. He is speaking of the revelation of God in the world of nature. His belief in God as creator is not an argument against the theory of evolution or the problems of science and the Bible. For him, creation reveals the Lord’s royal majesty, sovereignty, power and design. He simply declares God’s existence and presence and wants to praise him in worship and wonder.

We see God’s glory each morning when we are awakened by a majestic sunrise that erupts from the darkness of the night. We see his handiwork each time we look into the face of a rose, watch a bird in flight or see the crashing of waves. All of creation clearly and convincingly announces the greatness and glory of God. This Psalm reveals a God who communicates to us through the majesty of his creation. The fact that he speaks openly to us through the work of his hands is a gracious expression of his love and his desire for us to know and worship him. Although sin has attempted to hide his glory it is still with us and cannot be denied!

Clarence Beecroft Clarence Beecroft passed into glory on July 3, 2014. He fought the good fight of faith until the very end.

Clarence was born Dec. 26, 1925, in Barron, Wis., to William and Anna Beecroft. Clarence, as a young boy, worked hard on the farm along with his two brothers, William and Eugene.

Along with their hard work were the antics of three boys. There was a constant flow of practical jokes and the camaraderie between the brothers. Clarence loved to sit with his brothers and talk about those times – they were hard times in the ‘20s and ‘30s, but always laced with love and humor. Clarence graduated from Prairie Farm High School. He lettered all four years for his excellence in boxing. He won every fight but one and that one was a draw.

Clarence married Marie Gross on June 2, 1948, in Cumberland. Clarence and Marie made their home in the Town of Lorain just north of McKinley. Five children were born to this union. They lived there all their married life until last year when they moved to Cumberland and resided in the Regency Apartments. Clarence operated a sawmill in the early years with his brother, William. But later he and William partnered to buy a well machine and launched Beecroft Brothers Well Drilling.

Clarence was an ardent horseman. He loved his Arabians and showed his horses throughout the Upper Midwest.

In his heart, he was a farmer. He embraced the life of a farmer, and the enjoyment of country living. He raised his horses, his black Angus, rabbits, dogs and an array of cats. And throw in the chickens, turkeys and ducks. He loved to spend time camping, hunting and fishing. But priority one was his wife, Marie, and the children and

grandbabies. He left behind a legacy of love and kindness. He was a man of strong conviction and believed God and enjoyed an unwavering faith walk. When he was not outside you could find him in his recliner resting his eyes and reading his Bible. He was a member of the Shell Lake Full Gospel Church. He spent many hours in the company of Pastor Virgil; they fished, hunted and cut wood together. Clarence had a missionary heart and wanted to share the Good News of Jesus with everyone. Clarence was a member of the Dallas Saddle Club for many years.

He leaves behind the love of life, his wife, Marie; along with his children, Linda (Harry) Buckwalter, Gary (Donna) Beecroft, Marlene Beecroft (Mark) Ziebarth, Sandi Beecroft, David (Shirley) Beecroft; brothers William (Dorothea) Beecroft, and Eugene (Bonnie) Beecroft; grandchildren Gary (Julie) Beecroft, Michael Beecroft, Troy (Sheila) Beecroft, David (Jennifer) Beecroft, Ann (Mike) Tepoorten, Amanda Beecroft, Jim (Kate) Beecroft, Jeremy Beecroft, Jessica Beecroft, Brad (Melissa) Beecroft; 26 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Anna Beecroft; and son Roger Beecroft.

We do not grieve for him, for we know he is heaven.

He taught us to work, to play and love. He was a nurturing force and a strong spiritual leader for our family.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Shell Lake Full Gospel Church on Thursday, July 10, at 11 a.m., with Pastor Virgil Amundson officiating. There will be a visitation at the service beginning at 10:30 a.m. A noon luncheon will be served after the service.

Bob was born June 6, 1940, in Eau Claire, to Erling “Whitey” and Florence (Kalanquin) Fjelstad. He graduated from Memorial High School in Eau Claire in 1959. He lived most of his life in Eau Claire.

Bob worked at the paper company and then at Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Company for 26 years, and served as local union steward for the United Rubber Workers. He retired in 1992 when the plant closed. He also worked part time for the Eau Claire School District in lawn care and as a substitute custodian.

It was during that time that he met Kristine (Kage) Dawley. On Sept. 13, 1997, Bob and Kris were married at their palace near Bashaw Lake. When Kris retired in 2004, they moved to the palace where they were often referred to as King Bob and Queen Kris.

Bob was a member of Lakeview United Methodist Church in the Town of Dewey. He was a very active man all of his life. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, raising beef cattle and horses, canoeing and riding his ATV. He also was proficient in martial arts, and held

a second degree black belt in karate.

Bob is survived by his wife, Kris, Shell Lake; son Robert T. Fjelstad (Deb Hagler), Cape Coral, Fla.; daughter Stacey (Mark) Schmitz, Sarona; stepchildren Mona (Chad) Braune, Eau Claire, Roger Dawley (Jody Retzloff), Colfax; grandchildren Brooke, Taylor and Colby Schmitz, and Zach Myers, Dustin Retzloff and Abbi Dawley.

Also surviving are sisters Nancy Leazott (Tom Taylor), Eau Claire, Jocelyn (Duane) Drake, Fall Creek, Jacquelyn (Dave) Cochrane, Lady Lake, Fla.; brother Denny (Deb) Fjelstad, Mondovi; and many relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and an infant sister.

The memorial service will be conducted on Saturday, July 12, at 11 a.m., with visitation from 10-11 a.m., at Lakeview United Methodist Church on CTH X, south of Hertel. The Rev. Jack Starr is the officiant. Interment of Bob’s urn will be in Lakeview Cemetery.

What a perfect Fourth of July! The weather was cool, and it was breezy enough to keep the mosquitoes away.

And, I didn’t hear of any of the fireworks displays getting rained out.

I’m so glad Shell Lake has their fireworks on July 3 rather than the Fourth.

That way we were able to enjoy both Shell Lake’s and Cumberland’s. Richard Pieper, Delores Schultz and I spent most of the holiday together. We went to Shell Lake, stopped by the new ice-cream parlor for a sundae, and then sat at a table right outside the door and watched the fireworks in comfort. There was a huge crowd there, and, naturally, Richard and Delores found someone they knew to chat with. They are from Barron, but no matter where we are, they always see a few people they know.

The fireworks display was awesome. We found out one thing though, people love the fireworks, but most dogs don’t. Dawn Copus brought her two little dogs with her and we were afraid they were going to die of fright before we could get them back to the car. There were even a couple of bigger dogs that had to leave because they were so nervous. I wonder if hunting dogs would be able to take so many booms in such a short time. Probably best to bring the kids and leave the dogs at home.

On Friday, July 4, we went to Chetek, had lunch at the little German cafe on Main Street, and watched the parade.

Even though business was booming at the cafe and people were waiting for tables, the waitresses had plenty of time to greet us with a smile and check to see if our food was good. Which by the way, it was. The parade was fun; lots of VFWs and American Legions represented. There was even a WWII vet on a float. Impressive. McKayla Olson and Emily Foust, Spooner Rodeo queen and princess, rode their horses and looked pretty. The Shriners were there with their little cars doing elaborate circles. How in the world do the keep from running into each other? And, of course, there was a high school band and floats with pretty girls waving to everyone. I think, though, that everyone’s favorites were the people with the squirt guns that sprayed us with water. Oh, and of course, we all enjoyed the flyover by the old airplanes at the beginning of the parade.

I took Richard and Delores home, just in time for them to start the charcoal grill and host a cookout for one of their friends.

I went home and did some gardening and decided that some rest and relaxation was needed. I had dozed off in my comfy recliner, thinking that I would stay in for the evening, when I was suddenly jolted awake by the booming of fireworks.

There were several places right here in Barronett where people were setting off some pretty impressive fireworks. Well, that did it. I couldn’t stand the thought of missing Cumberland’s fireworks. I drove in, parked by the Lou Ann, and walked down to the bridge by Sammy’s where the view of the park is terrific. Cumberland’s fireworks are also awesome. There was an unbelievable number of people at the park and across Hwy. 63 enjoying the show. I wonder if anyone attempts a count. There must have been thousands there.

Just as I was leaving, Duane called from Wheat Ridge, Colo. He’s driving semi for

Suzy and Ryan and didn’t get home for the Fourth of July. He said that he could see the fireworks from Denver and that they were the most impressive he had ever seen. Can’t believe they were better than Shell Lake and Cumberland.

Wouldn’t it be fun to have a helicopter, go up really high, and then just hover there and watch fireworks from all the towns?

The Lehmann clan had a wonderful time at Kevin and Kate O’Neal’s cabin on Turtle Lake on the Fourth of July. Don and Anitia’s youngest grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Loren, Emma, DaShaun, Gavin, Miles, Tru, Adeline and Charlie, had lots fun playing together.

Of course there was lots and lots of good food, and adults and children enjoyed swimming and playing games.

Earlier this past week, Anitia went to the Bootlegger, Harry and Beth Knowlton’s place in Wascott. Their daughter, Amber, was home for a visit from Atlanta.

Amber is a firefighter and she had lots of interesting stories to tell. Anitia had a wonderful time visiting with them, The Art in the Park at Shell Lake on Saturday was great. There were so many booths with such pretty things that it was hard to decide what to buy. I finally decided on some adorable little sundresses for the great-granddaughters. Lynn Thon and I went there together, and after we were finished shopping we joined Jessi Anderson and her family at the ice-cream parlor for another sundae. I’m going to have to stay away from that place for a couple of weeks or I won’t be able to get through doors. Anyway, that little Alex Anderson just gets cuter and cuter every time we see him. He is almost 9 months old now, and he was really enjoying the ice cream.

Jerry and Carol Hefty were among the crowd at the Red Brick enjoying breakfast after church on Sunday. We had a really nice visit. They said that they would drop by the house to visit sometime soon. Actually though, Jerry said that he would come over if I made a German chocolate cake. Man, it’s pretty bad when a person has to bribe relatives to visit.

Ryan, Suzy and Miriah Lehmann, Jerry Marsh and I went to Barronett Bar for supper on Sunday evening after Jerry fixed the riding lawn mower for me. The food there is supergood and we enjoyed sitting and relaxing after the busy weekend.

I guess I’d better tell you about my experiences with the rider this past week.

First of all, Lynn Thon was over and was going to help me mow. She had never used the rider before, so I told her how to operate it. She did everything I told her, but when she pushed in the brake and pulled up the lever to start the blades, nothing happened. Well, I couldn’t figure that out so I got on the mower, did just what I told her to do, and nothing happened. Wouldn’t you just know it, the thing broke down while Duane was away.

Later that week I mentioned to Suzy that I couldn’t get the mower to work, and she sent Ryan over to check it out. He checked the belts, which were on right and tight, got on the mower, started it, pulled up the lever for the blades, and they worked immediately. I was so embarrassed. Of course you can’t hold down the brake and expect the blades to rotate. The brake is a

safety feature that stops the blades. Ryan is so patient though. He told me it could happen to anyone. He’s my favorite sonin-law.

Then on Sunday afternoon, I was mowing up by the garden and ran over a huge chunk of wood that was hidden in the tall grass. Well, that stopped the blades immediately. And, when I tried to move the mower, it was stuck. The wood was stuck on the blade like wood sometimes gets stuck on an axe when you’re trying to split it. I took a long metal pipe, put it under the mower deck and used it like a lever to lift the mower up so that I could get the wood off the blade. Nope, not going to happen. I pulled and pushed and finally got a hammer and tried to pound it off. Then I called Jerry. He came up, lifted up the mower, and pulled the wood off.

You know, I’m really glad he came to help me, but the least he could have done was make it look a little bit difficult. I think maybe that I’ve finally reached the age where someone should take the keys to all machines away from me, I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett and the surrounding areas this week. See you next time.
