“Over 10 centuries” of teaching experience lost, ad says Thank-you to retired, resigned and nonrenewed staff is latest development in Spooner school controversy Gary King | Editor SPOONER - A group called Friends of Spooner Schools placed an ad this week thanking teachers who have retired, resigned or not had their contracts renewed, noting the school district is losing “over 10 centuries (1,000-plus years) of experience.” It is the latest development in a standoff between some parents, teachers and community members who are concerned over the budget cuts and alleged poor treatment of teachers by administration that have led to resignations and parents opting to open enroll their students in other school districts. Spooner administration and school board
members are attempting to deal with a projected $900,000 budget deficit. School board members asked Administrator Michelle Schwab to lead them in making budget cuts. Some have felt her plan goes too far but Schwab has said that without the cuts the district will either have to go to referendum to ask voters for more money or explore consolidation in several years, which would scatter the district’s 1,300 students. “When you look at the current laws related to the Affordable Care Act, the increase, the increase in health insurance premiums, the ongoing cost of operating our buildings and then where our community is located … all of those play into the types of revenues we can get in,” Schwab said. Former teacher Andrew Melton said the issue goes beyond budget cuts, claiming he and other staff felt “bullied” by the administration. He

Spooner charter school dissolves Alleged implication of district control attempts Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER – On Monday, June 8, the SAVE Academy, by its board of directors, unanimously resolved to dissolve SAVE Academy and wind up its affairs. This information and more was shared via a press release from the SAVE Academy, Inc. SAVE Academy was a charter school that entered a five-year contract or charter with the Spooner Area School District in 2013. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction defines charter schools as public, nonsectarian schools created through a businesslike contract or charter between the charter governance board and the sponsoring school board or other chartering authority. The Wisconsin charter school law gives char-
ter schools freedom from most state rules and regulations in exchange for greater accountability for results. The charter defines the missions and methods of the charter school. The chartering authority holds the school accountable to its charter. The charter school motto is “Autonomy for Accountability.” SAVE’s decision to dissolve began with the SASD requesting meetings, information and renegotiation of the five-year contract in January of 2015. “To the impression of the SAVE Board and its Administrator and employees, the District, bluntly, began to insist that it had dominance over SAVE’s process and the SAVE entity that had been developed to that point, largely autonomous from the District,” states the SAVE Academy, Inc. press release. SAVE reports it was compliant to the district’s

Spooner Area School District hires new staff Stordahl new elementary principal SPOONER — Spooner Area School District recently hired Luke Stordahl as elementary principal. “Spooner is excited to welcome Luke into his role as elementary principal,” said Superintendent Michelle Schwab. “His experience and enthusiasm for student achievement will serve our district well. I look forward to his leadership.” “I can’t wait to be a part of the great community of educators at Spooner
Schools,” said Stordahl. Stordahl joins the Spooner community after being an educator for the past 10 years in Minnesota. He taught language arts and worked as a dean of students and technology integrationist in Litchfield, Minn. As an educator, he worked to form school-community connections and led initiatives on standardsbased grading and teacher development. He believes

Charter school/from page 1 requests but in April the school received a letter from the district’s attorney. In it, “The District expressed concern over alleged noncompliance in a number of areas which SAVE had previously been working on with DPI to DPI’s satisfaction, without SASD involvement. The letter also contained yet an additional laundry list of alleged noncompliances or errors SAVE was making that had never before been raised by the District, or anyone else. Many of the claimed contractual noncompliances in regard to SAVE were items that contractually were responsibilities that the District should have undertaken, or at least were issues that the District could have just as easily have addressed as SAVE … many of the issues that were claimed to be problematic were issues that had long since been addressed and resolved. These resolutions were also known to the District, so in context, it appeared that the District was simply documenting, for some reason, a laundry list of any issue it had ever had with SAVE Academy, whether genuine or not, previously discussed or not, or resolved or not. “ SAVE reports that the letter was perceived to be ominous and somewhat threatening as it suggested that the district had the ability to initiate litigation against and disband SAVE at the district’s leisure for SAVE’s alleged noncompliances, or it would make life difficult for the SAVE board if it did not agree to the terms imposed by the district. One of the terms was that the district would be entitled to a greater share of the per-pupil funding, contrary to the five-year contract that the district had signed with SAVE two years prior. The contents of this letter were shared with the parents of SAVE stakeholders and parents. “As predicted, the results were disastrous,” reports SAVE. Due to

that all students can learn and that school should be relevant, fun and engaging. Stordahl and his wife are moving back to the area with their four children and are excited to be closer to family. Spooner Area School District has also hired the following staff for the 2015-16 school year: Tammy Merth, administrative assistant; Ben Deitz, IT technician, both Merth and Deitz began working for the district in June; Gale Gores, el-
ementary teacher; Kali Fizel, elementary teacher; Staci Sikora, elementary teacher; Alison McNamara, elementary teacher; Jennifer Smith, elementary teacher; Amy Young, elementary teacher; Heidi Lapray, middle school teacher; Sharon Johnson, middle school teacher; Jessica Kuske, technical education; Brin Lawrence, special education teacher; and Mary DeNoyer, special education teacher. — from SASD
Thank-you ad/from page 1 the response SAVE Academy polled its stakeholders about their intentions for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year. Of the 63 students, 49 reported they would not attend SAVE Academy in 2015-2016, leaving SAVE with 10-14 possible students. Several of those families expressed unclear intentions, such as “we’ll have to wait and see what happens.” As a result, the SAVE Academy Board of Directors voted, after consulting with legal counsel, unanimously passing a resolution of dissolution on Monday, June 8. “SAVE’s Board believes that it has authority to dissolve SAVE Academy, pursuant to its own Bylaws, which had previously been approved by SASD. Those Bylaws, particularly Article I, Section 6. e. provide for the procedure of dissolution.” Since the SAVE Academy is a 501(c)(3) corporation it must distribute its principle assets to either a like-minded public entity or a like-minded private 501(c)(3) which has a similar mission. The majority of those assets, its cash reserves, will be transferred to the SASD. The Board of SAVE Academy also determined to provide $5,000 in like-kind transfers to seven respected area organizations, to be used in furtherance of their own educational missions. Those entities are: Theatre in the Woods, Erika Quam Memorial Theatre in Shell Lake Lakeland Family Resource Center, Spooner Washburn County 4-H, Spooner Intermezzo Music Club, Spooner FISH, Friends Into Spooner Hatchery Shell Lake Arts Center, Shell Lake HACIL Virtual Charter School, Hayward.
said he was reprimanded twice for publicly criticizing the district and placed on administrative leave. In the last year, 42 of the district’s 165 faculty and staff have retired, resigned or have not had their contracts renewed. In addition, more than two dozen aides have not received work assignments for the fall. The ad (see page 4) from Friends of Spooner Schools cites each teacher by name, noting 27 staff were not issued a contract for next year, 34 resigned, 12 retired and two long-term substitutes

Shell Lake under construction Philip Keppers, project engineer, in an email to the Register. The project is one of two DOT projects on Hwy. 63. This project extends from Woodyard Road to CTH B, and encompasses new roadway surface, water lines, storm sewer, sanitary sewer upgrades, a new shared-use path, improvements to the city park area, culvert repairs and construction of a twoway turn lane. “As of Thursday, June 11, Hwy. 63 is open to automobiles and trucks under 40 feet in length with a short detour on city streets in Shell Lake,” said Keppers. He

explained that the current short detour is necessary to complete utility work on the urban reconstruction section in Shell Lake. “The contractor actually paved all night last week on Wednesday night to Thursday morning to get it open in four days,” he said. The detour, between Cumberland and Spooner, occurring from Monday, June 8, to Thursday, June 11, was to allow work between Barronett and CTH D that could not have been done with traffic. “We had a lot of local traffic confusion about the detour that was set up there
in town,” said Jon Johnson, Washburn County highway commissioner. Motorists, local traffic and even semis, were not using the marked detour signs and getting lost. This added frustration and safety issues for people driving on those roads. Keppers reports that no more detours are planned and the project is expected to be complete in mid-to-late August.
The Hwy. 63 project in Shell Lake remains on schedule according to project engineers, but some motorists weren’t following the marked detour, which caused confusion. — Photo by Danielle H. Moe

Letters to the editor Check the facts In response to the letter writer in the June 17 issue of the Register, who claims that the Clinton Foundation is likely a Political Action Committee rather than a charity, I would refer him to FactCheck.org. FactCheck.org is a project of The Annenberg Public Policy Center, created as a nonpartisan, nonprofit consumer advocate for voters. One independent philanthropy watchdog, Charity Watch, has done an analysis of Clinton Foundation funding and concluded that 89 percent of its funding went to charity — 75 percent is considered the industry standard. Charity Watch gave the foundation an “A” rating. The Clinton Foundation is different from other foundations where most of the money is passed through in the form of grants to nonprofit organizations, which implement the programs. The Clinton Foundation is the implementer. They operate programs on the ground, around the world. In Africa they have staff that train rural farmers, helping them to get seeds and equipment, and to market their crops. They maintain climate initiatives in Africa and the Caribbean region to help with reforestation and renewable energy projects. The Clinton Health Initiative has staff in numerous countries helping to provide access to low-cost health care and medicine, as well as in the U.S. working with businesses and local governments in developing wellness plans. The Clinton Foundation has over 2,000 employees worldwide. The neighbor of my friend in Minnetonka was recently a flight attendant on Bill Clinton and Chelsea’s return flight from Africa, where they visited some of the foundation’s agriculture and health projects and called attention to the plight of the elephants.

Edward Jones ranks highest in investor satisfaction in a tie According to J.D. Power 2015 Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study SPOONER — Financial-services firm Edward Jones ranks highest in a tie in investor satisfaction with full-service brokerage firms, according to the J.D. Power 2015 Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study, financial advisor Vicki Shaffer announced recently. The study measures overall investor satisfaction with full-service investment firms based on seven factors: investment advisor, investment per-
formance, account information, account offerings, commissions and fees, website and problem resolution. “We believe that our strong performance is driven primarily by the relationship our financial advisors have established with clients,” Edward Jones managing partner Jim Weddle said. “Our financial advisors strive to understand investors needs and goals, focus on the long-term relationships and create a partnership.” Edward Jones ranked highest in investor satisfaction by J.D. Power in 2012, 2010 and 2009, from 2005 through 2007, and in a tie in 2002, when the study began. “Across our firm, everything we do is focused on serving our clients,” Shaf-
fer said. “Our success is built upon trusted relationships with clients that are the basis for offering them tailored guidance to help reach their long-term financial goals. We strive to deliver it all with exceptional service.” The 2015 Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study is based on responses from more than 5,300 investors who primarily invest with one of the 18 firms included in the study. The study was fielded from Jan. 5 through Feb. 3. For more information, visit jdpower.com.

Larsen graduates from Mayo School of Graduate Medical Education
Read Me … Read Me Not Sponsored by Friends of the Shell Lake Public Library
“The Undertaking” by Audrey Magee
LA CROSSE – Dr. Torben Larsen, Spooner High School Class of 2004, graduated from the Mayo School of Graduate Medical Education on June 13. Larsen completed his residency program in family medicine at the Mayo-La Crosse campus. Larsen did his undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls and received his medical degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health at Madison with an emphasis in rural medicine. While in the resiDr. Torben Larsen. — Photo subdency program in La mitted Crosse, Larsen served as chief resident. He was honored by his fellow residents and the faculty with the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine 2015 Resident Teacher Award. As a board-certified family physician, Larsen has accepted a position at the Mayo-La Crosse Hospital as a hospitalist. – submitted
Reviewed by David McNeil, Shell Lake Audrey Magee’s, “The Undertaking” is a captivating read blending a romance novel and the barbarity of war into a work of historical fiction. A German soldier finds his new bride of convenience to be the love of his life. Together they dream of a wonderful future together amidst the savagery surrounding them including the unparalleled persecution of their Jewish neighbors. Set in Germany during World War II as Hitler’s army attacks Russia, Magee gives the reader a look at the mind-set of the citizens who adored him and a powerful, intimate look at life on the war-torn eastern front. Magee’s unique, simplistic writing style gives the book an intensity seldom seen in novels, while providing insight into the lives of people that undeniably reflect the sad reality of the time. Readers of this powerful novel will find themselves trying hard not to sympathize with those under the trance of this brutal regime. Is it possible to be hopeful their love survives while also wanting them to be held accountable for their erroneous role in the empire’s rise and eventual demise? You’ll find yourself rationing the pages of this gripping, award-winning book to make the suspense last a bit longer, while still being fearful of its outcome.

Spooner Middle School students help battle invasive wetland plant SPOONER — It’s not often that beetles get raised on purpose, but that’s just what Spooner eighth-grade students helped with on May 15 in honor of Earth Day. The Washburn County Land and Water Department raises Galerucella beetles to help control purple loosestrife, which is an aquatic invasive species from Europe and Asia. It is considered a concern because it can overrun native wetlands, reduce or eliminate native animals and degrade recreation by choking waterways. The students set up two large rearing cages. The cages are essentially duplicating the conditions needed to grow purple loosestrife plants, which serve as the food source for the beetles. In late April, 200 purple loosestrife roots were dug with the help of county staff, DNR and citizens. The students planted them into buckets, which are
Spooner Middle School students and DNR staff who helped with the invasive species project. placed in swimming pools inside each cage. Small holes in the pools help control water levels to the proper depth. In a few weeks, the plants will grow tall enough to introduce beetles. County staff go into areas beetles were previously released, and collect them for the cages. The beetles that are released in the rearing cages immediately begin feeding, mating and laying eggs. Each female can lay up to 500 eggs. After going through several life-cycle stages, new adult beetles

will hatch in about six weeks. Each rearing cage may potentially produce 75,000 beetles or more to be release into infested purple loosestrife areas. The Galerucella beetles only eat purple loosestrife plants. As the loosestrife population declines, so do the beetles. They won’t ruin your picnic or congregate on your house like some other beetles will. Unless you go looking for them you’ll probably never see one. Gratitude is extended to the Spooner students and DNR staff for making this control effort a success in the fight against invasive species. For more information on the program, please contact Lisa Burns at 715-468-4654 or email lburns@ co.washburn.wi.us. — from WCLWD

Phone books
T
he first phone book, issued Feb. 21, 1878, was a single piece of cardboard and listed 50 businesses in New Haven, Conn. Do you think phone directories that we receive from our local phone company will become a thing of the past in the near future? Will the phone book follow down the same path that having a local operator took when that position was no longer necessary? If a person has good reception with a cell phone, they are cutting out the use of having a landline phone, thereby passing up the need for a local phone service as in the past.
There are businesses that only use cell phones, too. I have received calls in my office from people that are unable to locate a certain business and wondering if I happen to know the number. In most cases I have been able to supply the number they are seeking, especially if the business has advertised with us and I have a record of their cell phone number. When looking for someone’s address, I still turn to the local phone book. Sometimes that doesn’t work because the person is no longer listed even though they haven’t moved or stopped using a phone. There are sources to use online to find addresses and some phone numbers. Depending on where I am, I find it just as easy to look among the printed pages for the information I want. Then again, is this the correct mailing address? Perhaps the person uses a post office box.
If that is the case, then their street address isn’t the correct address to use. According to information I read, some North American cities have tried to ban the distribution of phone books, stating they were a waste of paper and also ended up in landfills. An industry group sued and obtained a court ruling permitting the distribution to continue. The phone books for some cities are quite large. I suppose with the invention of booster chairs the phone book is no longer necessary for a child to sit on to be able to reach items on a standard-sized dining room table. My question is, “Instead of a large phone book, what are people going to rip apart to show their power of strength?”

t can be said that if it had not been for John Muir, there would never have been a conservation movement in this country, and our natural environment would probably now look a lot like the surface of the moon. Many of us share this conservationist’s love of the wilderness and, like me, share in his desire to preserve it. He has long ago passed away, so I am writing a letter to him to commend him for his lifetime of concern for nature. I know his address. It is John Muir, EarthPlanet, Universe. I believe the message will reach him on the wings of the wind. Dear Mr. John Muir, We have never met, as you and I are of different centuries, but I believe I share your love for the natural world. I feel joy when I stand in the outdoors and become one with the wind. You know what Wisconsin winters are like, since you came here from your native Scotland with your family to a farm near Portage when you were just an 11-year-old boy. The year 1849 was the year you left your birthplace near Dunbar, Scotland. The year 1949 was my year to graduate high school. A hundred years is no time at all in the natural world. I have never been to Scotland, but my husband’s parents came from Norway where they lived on a farm near the North Sea. Winters are extremely cold. Spring and summer are delightful, with everything striving to have life and grow. In winter I like to keep houseplants, growing things, in my rooms, some plants nearly as old as I am. Everyone needs growing things and the natural green colors of the land. I was the wife of a farmer so I know the pleasure and the hard work of life on a Wisconsin farm. The clearing of land goes on, and the fields and livestock must have constant care. Hard work, it is. The children work as well as the parents to earn a living from the earth. Your father was like many people who strive all their lives to gain security. Your life story appeared to be of the wanderer, as well as the wonderer, who strives for
knowledge of every natural thing around you. This is a common trait in folks today, those who want to tame nature, like it is a wild horse needing training. You wanted nature to teach you and tell you its secrets to pass on to others. I have read your story of your boyhood and youth and other writings of yours, and some writers have written the story of your life. This is why I feel as if I have met you in person. I have to laugh at your wonderful inventions that caught the attention of folks at the state fair in Madison. In our farmhouse there was a little bell located above the door in the hired man’s bedroom that could be rung to summon him early in the morning. Much better than your automatic slanting bed to get the sleeper on his feet. Being part of the outdoors is an adventure. You have always searched for knowledge without schooling, through reading. But you concentrated on geology and botany in college at Madison. The halls of academia could not contain your searching spirit, and soon you were off to find answers in the natural world. You traveled to Canada, at the time of the terrible Civil War. Your name was not called for the draft, and that was a blessing. Your travels led you on a journey that took you from Fountain Lake Farm in Portage through the South to Florida and on across the sea to Cuba. Unlike the writers you prized, Carlyle, Emerson, Thoreau, and Audubon, you were not at all interested in birds and wildlife. It was the mountains and rocky landscape, the waterfalls, the flowing streams that whispered to you, and especially the trees. You found your favorite place in the Sierras, and it was there you met and married your dear wife, Louie Wanda (Strentzel) Muir, and lived on a farm where the grapes and cherries grew. You could write of nature and still go on wilderness treks. You and your wife raised two daughters. They say you taught the little girls the names of all the flowers that grew all around their California home. When my mother was a girl, her father taught her all the names of the plants, since he was a gardener. You
wrote nature studies for youngsters so they could learn the names and know their value. You traveled to many countries in the world, and wrote of them. I know your friends interested in protecting the environment joined with you in starting the Sierra Club in 1893, hoping to save precious wilderness areas in this country. You were concerned when nothing was ever done to prevent forest fires, or to save public lands from overgrazing. It was through your efforts and those of your friends that Congress established Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park, and saved them for our children and us. You fought for preservation, not to conserve, but to preserve the land. You saved for us the opportunity to experience the wild serenity that comes from being with nature, to hear and witness the sounds of tinkling streams and the wind shivering through the pine trees. For this I thank you, for myself and for all of us. Before I close this letter, I want to tell you there is a system of national and state parks and reservations throughout the country where one may travel to find peace. There are still those who strive for the material, and do not value the beautiful gifts of our natural world. Yet the beauty is there for them. Like you, I am sorry that the passenger pigeon has been gone from the earth since the time you left us, in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve in 1914. I was never able to see their flocks and their bright colors. For a time there were only a small number of buffalo, or bison, where there were once great herds. Now there are ranchers and farmers who are raising bison, raising them on wild grasses, and like the Native Americans of old, they use every part of the buffalo. There was a time when the bald eagle was near extinction. Environmental laws have, over the years, increased their numbers so they are no longer endangered. The gray wolf was losing ground, but they are coming back. There is hope for those who come after us. Sincerely, Mary Olsen

JUNE 24, 2015 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 11
Washburn County accident reports WASHBURN COUNTY — Seven deer-versus-vehicle accidents occurred from Sunday, June 7, to Tuesday, June 16. No injuries were reported in any of these accidents, but in two of these accidents the vehicles had to be towed. One accident involved a Washburn County Sheriff deputy and squad vehicle. The damage to the squad was estimated to be less that $1,000. Friday, June 5 At approximately 12:09 a.m., Heidi M. Beck, 43, Delafield, was driving a 2013 Subaru Forester on Hwy. 63 near CTH F, when she hit a bear. Beck was not injured but her vehicle’s airbag did deploy. Deputies responded to the crash site to remove the bear carcass. Saturday, June 6 At approximately 11:47 a.m., Janine S. Whiteaker, 63, was stopped westbound on Hwy. 77 in the village of Minong to make a turn onto Hwy. 53 southbound when a red-colored, older-style pickup truck with one occupant approached from the rear and struck the rear of the 2011 Buick Enclave Whiteaker was driving. Whiteaker and her passengers were uninjured. The driver of the red pickup truck did not stop and continued westbound on Hwy. 77 at a high rate of speed. Friday, June 12 At approximately 1:41 p.m., Linda J. Olson stated she went out to her vehicle after work at the Jack Link’s Snack Food Plant in Minong when she observed that someone had struck her 2001 Oldsmobile on the front driver’s side fender. Olson was not sure who had hit her vehicle but stated that management was reviewing security camera footage to see who had struck her vehicle. Olson was told to report her findings to the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department. Saturday, June 13 At approximately 12:37 a.m., Margaret Rice, 51, Cable, was driving southbound in the northbound lane of traffic on Hwy. 53 just south of Trego. The accident
report states that while en route to intercept the vehicle, the Washburn County Dispatch received several more 911 calls of the vehicle continuing southbound in the northbound lane of traffic, and that the vehicle had hit multiple other vehicles. By the time the sheriff’s deputy was on the scene, bystanders had taken Rice’s keys away to prevent her from driving off. Rice underwent the standard field sobriety exercises. Rice was unable to stand on her own and needed to lean against the 2013 Jeep she had been driving. When asked if she had been drinking, Rice said she had three beers. A breath sample resulted in a reading .25. Rice was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Rice was cited for operating while under the influence, driving wrong way on divided highway and operating with PAC. In total these citations total $2,101 in potential fines. Sunday, June 14 At approximately 12:05 p.m., Colton Marlett, 19, Clear Lake, was southbound on Hwy. 63 in the Town of Springbrook just south of CTH F when he fell asleep and drifted across Hwy. 63. The 2003 Dodge truck Marlett was driving crossed the centerline and traveled off the roadway, went into the ditch line and struck four trees before coming to rest up against a tree. The truck had been hauling an ATV on a small trailer. Marlett suffered a nonincapacitating injury but was not medically transported. The truck was totaled and towed. Monday, June 15 At approximately 4:20 p.m., Lisa Johnson, 53, South Range, was eastbound on Hwy. 70 in the Town of Madge as Samantha Hallstrom, 21, Rice Lake, was
stopped at the intersection of Fenander Road and Hwy. 70. Hallstrom pulled out in front of Johnson in her 2004 Chrysler Sebring and hit Johnson’s 2015 Ford Fusion SE. Both driver’s suffered nonincapacitating injuries and were both medically transported. Both vehicles were totaled and towed. Saturday, June 16 At approximately 12:36 p.m., Willow Shell, 19, Spooner, was stopped at the stop sign at the intersection of Carlton Road and Hwy. 70 in the Town of Evergreen as Daniel Lester, 30, Springbrook, was attempting to turn northbound onto Carlton Road and crashed into the 1999 Ford Taurus Shell was driving. Neither driver was injured. Shell’s vehicle sustained minor damage to the front and front driver side. The 2004 Pontiac Montana Lester was driving sustained very minor damage to the front and front driver side. Saturday, June 20 At approximately 1:29 p.m., Breana Peterson, 22, Grand Marais, Minn., was southbound on Hwy. 53 in the village of Minong when the vehicle in front of her braked suddenly. Peterson hit her brakes and swerved to miss hitting the braking vehicle in her 1997 Honda. Peterson subsequently lost control entered the median and rolled the vehicle about three times before coming to rest in the median. Peterson was not injured, but her vehicle was totaled and towed. — Danielle H. Moe with information from Washburn County Sheriff’s Office

After recent fatal crashes, bike advocate stresses importance of biking safety
Expert says more commuters should try biking
Chris Malina | WPR News MADISON - A handful of serious bicycle crashes in southern Wisconsin, some fatal, have made headlines in recent weeks. For many bike riders, these crashes highlight the dangers that go along with sharing the road with vehicles, but one local bike expert says a little bit of preparation can go a long way in ensuring safety for cyclists and motorists alike. Zachary Barnes, central region director of the Wisconsin Bike Federation, said that safety is something all riders should take into account. “Even though, it’s so fun, so free to be out on the bike, there are responsibilities, just like driving any other vehicle, to make sure we don’t injure anyone else or ourselves,” said Barnes. That means taking a few moments before biking to consider some of the same things one would when jumping in a car. To that end, Barnes said it can be helpful to think of a bike as a vehicle rather than a toy or a recreational object. “As I’m preparing myself, I tell myself
BURNETT COUNTY - Volunteers are needed to animate the Jordan Buck theater puppet. The larger-than-life-size whitetail buck was built by community volunteers last summer to celebrate the centennial of James Jordan’s hunt and harvest of a world and USA record deer in November 1914. The puppet belongs to the Burnett County community and is available for educational sessions, parades, business promotions and other special events around the county, depending on the availability of animators, according to the Jordan Buck caretaker and “manager,” Harriet Rice. When it “comes to life” with two people inside its frame, the buck stands 9 feet tall, is 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. Animators stand upright inside the lightweight frame wearing backpacks and they can see through its screen frame, covered with burlap for the “hide.” There are some age and physical re-

When it comes to bicycle safety, it can be helpful to think of a bike as a vehicle rather than a toy or a recreational object. - Photo by Steven Lek I’m going to drive my bike,” he said, reinforcing the fact that bicycles are considered vehicles on the road. “That’s a whole different treatment of how we feel on the road.” For newcomers to bike commuting or road riding, Barnes encouraged getting out and practicing before hitting the
streets. He said finding a “bike buddy” can be a great way to have fun biking, while also learning the ins and outs of biking in traffic. He also encouraged outfitting bikes with lights and reflectors that help with lateral visibility so others on the road can see a cyclist from all angles.
Bring the Jordan Buck to life
Once out on the road, Barnes said predictability is the most important thing for cyclists to consider. That means riding according to the rules of the road, not making sudden and rash decisions and being aware of the current conditions. In addition, he said it also means being courteous, not just to motorists, but pedestrians. “We find that out on trails, people are stressed out about bicyclists passing to close or things like that,” Barnes said. “We can pass it along by really showing courtesy.” Barnes also encourages motorists too give up the car for a day and try getting out on the bike. “The best way to improve our safety is to get more folks riding,” he said. “It decongests our streets of traffic, but it also just helps to step into someone else’s shoes who might do it every day.” For more guidance on how bikes and cars can have a more peaceful coexistence on the roads, Barnes encouraged both cyclists and motorists to check out the Share and Be Aware program, which is working to reduce the number of crashes and traffic fatalities involving bicyclists and pedestrians.
quirements: Volunteers must be age 17 years or older, must be between 5’ 10” and 6 feet tall, in good physical condition, and be comfortable with performance movement such as walking, prancing and stepping to music. High-school-age youth who volunteer need parental permission in writing and will receive letters verifying hours of community service for their college entry or reference files. Upcoming “performances” includes participation in Siren and Webster’s July Fourth parades. Theater artist and puppet designer Christoper Lutter-Gardella will train volunteers. Anyone interested in volunteering please contact Rice in Webster at 715-8668153 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays. - submitted LEFT: Volunteers are needed to animate the Jordan Buck theater puppet. - Photo submitted
St. Croix Tribe election
Three changes on five-member council
Gregg Westigard | Staff writer HERTEL – Two incumbents were among the five people elected to the St. Croix Tribal Council in the election Saturday, June 13. According to unofficial results, the new council members will be Elmer “Jay” Emery, Lewis Taylor, Crystal Peterson, Carmen Bugg and Stuart Bearheart. Emery and Taylor are incumbents, Bearheart served a previous term, Peterson and Bugg will be new to the council. The results are unofficial until the votes are certified. Candidates have until 4 p.m. Friday, June 19, to contest the results. The five council members are elected from four communities of the St. Croix Tribe, Sand Lake (the Hertel area), Round Lake, Danbury and Maple Plain (near Cumberland). The council members are elected for two-year terms. Taylor and Emery, from the Sand Lake community, are the longest-serving members of the current council. Taylor, the present chair of the tribe, will be starting his 12th term. Emery will be starting his seventh term on the council. The two were elected over four opponents. Bearheart, from Maple Plain, will be starting his second term. He defeated incumbent Aimee Awonohopay, the person who Bearheart lost to in 2013. Peterson, Danbury, defeated two former council members, incumbent Beverly Benjamin and Nancy Matrious, to win her first term on the council. Bugg, Round Lake, came in first in a field of eight candidates to win her spot on the council. Among those eight were
incumbent Phyllis Lowe and former council member David Merrill. While the candidates are nominated from the four communities, the voters cast ballots for all the communities, not just their own area. At least 463 votes were cast. There is a single round of voting with the person with the most votes winning the election even if they do not have a majority of the votes.

Independence Day in Shell Lake is July 3 Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — From 1776 to the present day, July Fourth has commemorated the birth of American independence with celebrations around the country that includes parades, fireworks, family gatherings and music. In Shell Lake Independence Day is celebrated on July 3. Local businesses go in together to bring a band and the Shell Lake Fire Department puts on a fireworks display that draws in hundreds of people. This year the band for the Shell Lake street dance will be the Tommy Bentz Band who will start playing at 8 p.m. on Main Street. “He plays all different kinds of music,” said Shannon Klopp, president of the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce. The Tommy Bentz Band is very excited to be performing for the 2015 Shell Lake Street Dance on Friday, July 3. Their music is a mix of late ‘60s and ‘70s blues-rock, with a jam-band and singer-songwriter
feel ... a mix of Van Morrison, Beatles, Eric Clapton and Allman Brothers, if you will. The band performs around the Midwest with recent tours overseas to the UK and Europe, and has performed twice at the famed Cavern Club in Liverpool. Yes, they won a Beatles contest judged by former Beatle, Pete Best. They just released their fourth album of original music, “Friend or Faux,” and the band features faculty members of the Shell Lake Arts Center Rock Camp. There will be beverages and food available for purchase. The fireworks will go off at dusk.

Our calicos, Tippy, Miss Maddie and Snook, Wish someone would come in and give them a look. The kittens cannot believe they are still here, There are a total of six and each one is so dear. Ella, our tabby, you just may have met, There isn’t a person she hasn’t helped yet. Paperwork, visits, she’s there like a shot, If you sit down, your lap becomes her favorite spot. Last but not least we have the senior crew, Each 7 or older, there’s only a few. They’re quiet, content and they don’t make a fuss, Just a few of the reasons seniors are a plus.

“F
inders keepers! Losers weepers!” That statement, which some think comes from an ancient Roman law, has provided guidance for the decisions of many children. It has also found its way into the lives of many adults. If someone loses “it,” and someone else finds “it,” what’s the right thing to do? In Deuteronomy, the Hebrews were told that they were to care for and return animals, as well as any property that someone had lost, to their rightful owners. The reason for this rule is that when we protect and return the property of another person, we are kept from being envious and greedy. Envy and greed seem to be the gateway to almost every other sin. “Turn from evil and do good,” advises David. He wanted the just, those who lived moral lives, to know that the Lord loved them and that he would always be faithful to them. Additionally, David added that the just will inherit the land – have eternal life. How blest we are to know that God wants us to have hope in him and look forward to being with him throughout eternity. God has placed within every heart a longing for someone to bring completeness and purpose into their life. The emptiness, the loneliness, the desire for something more is the inheritance that awaits those who turn from evil and do good. But there’s more than the future inheritance to look forward to: God’s presence every day of our lives. He loves the just and will never forsake the faithful.

Happy summer! The season of road construction and insects. Don’t get me wrong, I love summer. I don’t mind spraying myself with mosquito repellent and waiting my turn at roads that have suddenly become one lane. Those are just a couple of the inconveniences we have to endure in order to live in beautiful northwestern Wisconsin. Enjoying the beauty of the flowers blooming, the joy of hiking the Ice Age Trail, the excitement of getting a glimpse of a mama bear with her cubs or a fawn with its mom, or the relaxation of fishing in one of our hundreds of lakes makes any minor inconvenience well worth living here in God’s country. We are so lucky. Oh, and speaking of road construction, I have been told by a couple of the construction workers that Hwy. 63 through Shell Lake will now be open all of the time. Yea! I stop in at the Scoop ‘N’ Brew quite often, and now I’ll be able to pull right into the parking area rather than parking on the Main Street and walking over. Actually, after eating ice cream there, the walk was probably good for me. However, I’m sure that all the little businesses on Hwy. 63 will be overjoyed to have the traffic on that route again. I saw John Schmidt’s truck at the Red Brick Café on Friday, so I stopped in to chat and have coffee with him and Linda. He is doing so well but he’s really working hard in order to be able to do things that most of us take for granted. He’s hoping to be able to get by with just a cane instead of a walker very soon. It’s so great to see him out and about again. There is a new cook at the Red Brick. Her name is Content, and she seems to be fitting in just fine. If you stop by, be sure to say hello and make her feel at home. Lynn Thon and I had supper at Bistro 63 on Wednesday night. The food was delicious, of course. The only problem

with eating at the Bistro is that I never have any room left for dessert. That’s OK though – there is always room for the complimentary truffle that is served at the end of the meal. We had a great girls’ night out, and next time we’re going to see how many of our friends will join us there. Joanne Sweet and her son, Justin Grensing, were dinner guests at Pat and Doug Sweet’s home on Sunday. The Sweets are such a close-knit family, and Pat and Doug always have a good time when any of the kids stop by. Pat and Doug attended the graduation party of their great-niece, Jessie Dostal, hosted by Jessie’s mom, Jane, on Saturday. Jessie graduated from Rice Lake High School and plans to attend college in Minnesota in the fall. She will be working toward a teaching degree. There were lots of friends and family at the party to help Jessie celebrate her graduation. And, of course, there was lots of food and everyone enjoyed visiting and catching up on all the family news. The Lehmann clan has returned home from a fishing trip in Canada. They were gone about a week and had a really great time at Open Bay Lodge. From what I understand, the biggest walleye, a 27-1/4-incher, was caught by Don Lehmann this year. Just about the entire Lehmann family was able to be there, and I guess maybe they should all be taking fishing lessons from Dad/Grandpa/Great-Grandpa. Even though they are not an official part of the Lehmann clan, Duane and Jerry and Savanna Marsh were welcomed into their group and included in all the family fun. Duane said that Savanna went out fishing with them every day. She did spend some time dozing in the boat while her dad and grandpa were fishing, but that’s to be expected. Teenagers seem to stay up way too late at night doing fun things instead of getting enough sleep like real humans do. They

had lots of fun, but seemed to be pretty happy to be home again. And, they put enough fish in the freezer for us to have a nice fish fry in the fall. Little Tru Lehmann was visiting me on Saturday, and we had the most wonderful time. Lynn Thon came over, and Tru helped me make waffles for breakfast. Then she went over to Aunt Lynnie’s house to watch a movie and take the dog, Dexter, for a walk. I did a few things at home, and then picked Tru up from Lynn’s house, walked to the garden, and she and I picked strawberries. And she had a chance to play with our little neighbors, Oskar, Mischa and Henry, for a while. She had a wonderful time. I felt so loved – until the Lehmann bunch pulled into the driveway, that is. As soon as she saw Nana and Papa, that’s Suzy and Ryan, you know, I was considered chopped liver. She ran into Suzy’s arms and barely noticed me the rest of the evening. Actually, that’s OK – it’s so much fun seeing them together. And, Tru loves spending time at the farm. Pat Olson and Duane and I went to Mount Horeb for a family reunion on Sunday. We had a great time visiting with family members that we only see once a year. I was talking to one of our cousins who had lived through the Depression, and the stories he had to tell were very interesting. I was born during WWII, and I know that we didn’t have any extra money, but, because I was just a little kid, I really didn’t know how poor we were either. We lived on a farm so we always had enough to eat, and Dad and Mom always found extra money so we had new school clothes and a gift for our birthdays and Christmas. But Alan was talking about the really hard times, when several families had to live in one house and jobs were hard to come by. I guess the good thing about living through that era was that those people learned to do whatever work was necessary to make a living and to save for the future. I wonder if any of us would be able to do that now. We can only hope that it never happens again. When people talk about the good old days, I think they forget about most of the struggles and are just remembering the love of their families. And that’s definitely not a bad thing. On the way home Pat, Duane and I stopped by the Main Street Cafe in Bloomer for supper. It’s downtown, and you have to drive a few blocks off the interstate to get there, but it is well worth the stop. The food is very good, the portions are very large, the prices are very reasonable, and they have delicious homemade pie. What more could anyone ask for? I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you had a lovely Father’s Day. See you next time.

It was Father’s Day on Sunday. I hope all you dads had a great day. My dad has been gone over 35 years already. And how that man loved to fish and hunt. We never think of our dads passing away, do we? Now I wish I could tell him all the things I did and know he would laugh! A very happy anniversary to Allan and Julie Melton on June 25. Enjoy that special day. A very happy birthday to Ryan Lauterbach on June 25. Enjoy your day, Ryan. Phil Lindeman, a very happy birthday to you on June 26.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Helen Roe, 80, whose funeral was Saturday at Skinner Funeral Home in Shell Lake. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Marvin Mortensen who passed away recently.

So those tasty strawberries will just

have to wait another day or two. Sandy Atkinson went to her nephew’s wedding on Saturday. Jim didn’t go as it was too hot, she tells us. Kristen and her girls drove and Sandy got a ride with them. On Sunday, Pattie Beaufeaux, Jimmy Atkinson, and Kristen Carls and family were at Jim and Sandy’s for dinner and to wish their pa a very happy Father’s Day. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Elizabeth Ruhn who passed away last week. Funeral services were held Tuesday. Her daughter is Connie Quam. Has anyone driven by Diane Hulleman’s and admired the beautiful yard filled with flowers? The lawn looks so nice. Take a short drive out and admire. On Monday, Diane was at Terraceview in Shell Lake where they made homemade ice cream. And you can bet every little bit was eaten and it was delicious. Diane goes every other Monday to Terraceview. Vicki Trott and Peggy Vesta were to the Twin Cities over the weekend to their sister’s, Robin Melton’s, where the girls enjoyed a girls weekend. They came home Sunday and stopped at Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s to wish their dad a happy Father’s Day. Allen Melton was also there wishing his dad good wishes. The other children of the Meltons either came over to see the Meltons or called on the phone. Friday I had an eye appointment in Eau Claire. I stopped at Penny Ladd’s and she drove her new car down. Said she had to give me a ride in her new vehicle. So we went for my appointment and out for lunch and then came back to Penny’s and the children. Jeff was still giving tests on hunters safety, on the four-wheelers, and on one other. Rylee took the classes and was given a test on Thursday. She got 100 on every test so she only had to go until noon on Friday. Great job, Rylee. Over 9 million turkeys and chickens have been destroyed due to the turkey virus. At this time the DNR doesn’t have any answer of what’s causing this.

We had some welcome rain on Monday morning. Everything looks so nice and green. The flowers are blooming and the bushes really are full and nice. It seems like everything is wrong in the world. The shooting in North Carolina left everyone devastated. I watched the church service on Sunday and it was packed and it was so hot in North Carolina that they were all fanning themselves. We have to feel sorry for the parents of the boy who did the shooting. Our prayers are with them all. Mavis Flach had her kids over Sunday morning doing lawn work and other jobs. Good work, boys and girls. Mavis attended the visitation and the burial service for Marvin Mortensen. Lillian Ullom had no news but I’m sure she has had a busy and tough week after losing her brother, Marvin Mortensen. Our prayers are with you and your family, Lillian. Peder Pederson and Jeff Pederson had also been to the burial and visitation. On Sunday, Peder was a dinner guest of Cheri and Steve Minot for Father’s Day.
Grandson Brent Pederson and wife Nicole were in Superior visiting her folks, Jan and Mark Cummings, for Father’s Day. Aaron Pederson was up to visit his dad, Jeff, and treated him to dinner Sunday. David Swan came up from Eau Claire on Sunday to visit his mom, Ruth. One of our aides here at Glenview, Chloe, is doing her clinicals at TLC and enjoying it. Good luck! Charlotte Thompson stopped in to see me on Sunday afternoon and we always have a nice visit. They served a men’s breakfast here at Glenview on Friday to honor Father’s Day. The women took a trip to Herberger’s to shop. Happy birthday to great-grandson, Kason White, in Cross Plains, who turned 3 years old and enjoyed his party and a trip to the zoo. Sue and Larry Winner of Solon Springs are on a trip to Hawaii for a Lions convention and a little sightseeing on the side. Taking joy in living is a woman’s best cosmetic.
Dewey-LaFollette Sympathy is extended to Connie Quam and family due to the death of Connie’s mother, Liz Ruhn, of Frederic. She was 87. Word has been received that Chuck Magnison fell and broke his hip.

A car belonging to a pregnant patient was broken into. The only thing that was stolen was a wine bottle in a brown paper bag. It turns out, that’s where she was keeping her urine sample, which she was bringing to be tested at the doctor’s office. Congratulations to Drew and Jennifer Knoop who are the parents of a son, born June 13, weighing in at 8 pounds, 9 ounces. Grandparents are Steve and Jody Knoop and Donna Knoop. Great-grandparents are Marv and Gladys Knoop. May you enjoy that little precious boy. On Sunday, Marv and Gladys Knoop enjoyed dinner at the home of Mark and Noel and family for Father’s Day. Marv says nobody has been fishing on Bashaw Lake. Last weekend found Duane Johnson, Diane and Duane’s daughter, Kyla, and Ann Johnson going to Cheri and Eric Amundson’s for Eric’s daughter’s graduation from high school. Ann tells us she’s going to have new potatoes by July Fourth. Says she dug a hill up and Ann loves to eat raw potatoes, so she ate it. Duane is now done with first-crop haying. Talking with Betty Meister, she tells us their daughter, Beth Hansen, came Saturday to spend the day before returning home that day. Sunday found Bev and Jarrett Cassellious coming to the Meisters’ to enjoy dinner with Carl and Betty and going home later. Glen Albee’s machine shed burnt Sunday, June 21. He had some big bales of hay and machinery in there. Hope it wasn’t too bad Glen. Spending the weekend at Garry and Beth Crosby’s were Chad, Ashley, Chase, Morgan and Joyel. While here the gang enjoyed time together. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!
