STATEWIDE - June is a time for weddings, summer trips and an array of outdoor activities. Unfortunately, June also is a time for a spike in motor vehicle crashes with deer. Although motor vehicle collisions with deer peak in the fall months, June is one of the worst months for driver and passenger injuries due to deer crashes. In four of the last five years, June ranked as the worst or second worst month for motorists’ injuries from deer crashes, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “The best way to avoid crashes with deer is to slow down and eliminate distractions while you drive. You also need to buckle up in case a crash can’t be avoided,” says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “Motorcyclists must be especially careful because collisions with deer can be fatal to motorcycle drivers and passengers. Motorcycles were involved in six of the eight fatal deer versus motor vehicle crashes in 2013.” Law enforcement agencies reported 18,313 deer versus motor vehicle crashes last year. - from Wisconsin DOT
Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — A network of over 1,000 individuals, strangers mostly, covering parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, report data from their locations, waiting merely minutes to see it update live on a map. This is no program out of a spy novel, it is the weather watcher network of the CBS Twin Cities WCCO TV station. “What is the first thing you do in the morning? Wonder what the weather is going to be like, so it is kind of fun,” said Mike Cox of Shell Lake. Cox has been a weather watcher for the
past 1-1/2 years. After watching a TV segment looking for weather watchers, he applied online and has been sharing his weather data ever since. “Basically I can send reports in whenever I want. I try to hit the noon and evening news, try to get in about a half hour ahead,” he explained. The weather watcher network allows for weather enthusiasts from rural locations to connect and share current weather conditions

A new event for a new chapter NORTHERN WISCONSIN — In the state of Wisconsin, 38,514 women veterans have served in the United States military, but there is no data currently available distinguishing between women and men veterans. Not knowing exactly how many women veterans are living in area communities did not stop Lisa McNeally, Renee Brown and Alysia Smith from starting a veterans chapter for women in Northwest Wisconsin last year or from organizing the very first women veterans expo for the region. After attending a women veterans expo last year in southern Wisconsin, McNeally, office assistant at the Washburn County Veterans Service Office, Brown, the new county veterans service officer at the Sawyer County Veterans Service Office, and Smith, a secretary at the Hayward Veterans Clinic, decided to create a women veterans chapter for service members living in northwestern Wisconsin. Today it is called the United Women Veterans Northwestern Chapter, and the chapter has been busy, having al-
Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - The November general election for Washburn County is well under way. The deadline for completed nomination papers was Monday, June 2. In the 2014 general election Washburn County residents will elect a sheriff, a
ready organized and held several events in the area. “When we opened up the northwestern chapter a year ago, our goal was to host a women veterans expo in the north,” said McNeally. Since last June organization for the event has been under way, and McNeally reports that it is all falling together in time for the event on Saturday, June 7, at the Lac Courte Oreilles Casino in Hayward. Registration for the expo will start at 9 a.m. with the opening ceremony at 10 a.m. The day is packed with eight presentations on topics of personal finance, equine horse therapy, Mary Kay makeovers, capturing the oral history of women veterans and much more. The presentations will take place from 11 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and between presentations attendees can peruse the 23 booths ranging from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, health, benefit services and much more. “We have received a lot of support from the local communities, a lot of door

prizes have been donated so we will be handing out raffle tickets at sign-in and having a door prize raffle at 3 p.m.,” said McNeally. Individuals must be present to win a door prize. On Sunday, June 8, those interested can sign up during Saturday’s registration to participate in a canoe trip down the Namekagon River. “We are going to put in at Big Bend and get out at the Trego Visitor Center, and then were going to the Springbrook VFW Post 10568 for lunch at 1 p.m.,” explained McNeally. Pickup times for the trip are the LCO Casino at 9 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. at the Springbrook VFW post. All equipment for the trip will be provided by the St. Croix Scenic Riverway and the National Park Service. “The hardest part is reaching out to the women veterans. Women, when they get out of the military, they dive headlong into their families, careers and taking care of their children. We always leave ourselves for last, so this is an opportunity for them to come together, camaraderie, meet some fellow sister veterans,

Neighboring county residents at odds about using herbicides on lake Scenario playing out in Edgewater has been seen across Wisconsin Mike Simonson | WPR SAWYER COUNTY - A Sawyer County town and a community association there are at odds over whether or not herbicides should be used to control invasive weeds in a local lake – a scenario playing out in other locations across Wisconsin. Fewer than 400 lakes are treated with herbicides – a small percentage of Wisconsin’s 15,000 total lakes. In the surrounding communities, whether or not the herbicides should be used often proves to be a
contentious issue. This month, the town board of Edgewater voted to oppose using herbicides in Big Chetac Lake in Sawyer County. Pete Baribeau, the board’s chairman, says it may kill the invasive curly pondweed from Eurasia, but it also kills native weeds eaten by panfish. “This is a resort area that is built on fishing, and any possible threat, as little as it may be, is too big of a threat,” said Baribeau. Big Chetac Lake Association President Bill Miller, however, said the lake is impaired with too much phosphorous from the pondweed, which is tough on people with respiratory problems.
“Come kind of late July, we get bluegreen algae blooms, which are toxic so that the water becomes unsafe,” said Miller. Baribeau says Big Chetac Lake is not impaired: “Well, it wasn’t until they got involved,” he said. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this lake system.” Department of Natural Resources statewide aquatic plant coordinator Scott Provost is familiar with the argument. “A lot of that goes back in history, when we always said ‘Don’t apply herbicides to water when you’re doing lawn treatments or whatever. Herbicides get into the water and kill fish,’” said Provost. “That’s true. It doesn’t do us much good to get rid
of, say, milfoil in the lake if we’re killing everything else in it. Our management needs to be very measured in how we use the herbicides.” Provost says the herbicide is safe, as long as it’s the right kind and the right dose.

Weather watcher/from page 1 with WCCO meteorologists and the viewing community. A basic report consists of the current temperature, wind direction, cloud cover and any precipitation totals. Once the basic data is covered it is up to the individual weather watcher if they want to provide additional data like wind speed, humidity, visibility and photos or video of the weather. “It is pretty simple, it is kind of just a fun thing to do,” he said. Being a weather watcher is more of partial hobby as Cox splits his time between his always-growing to-do list, being an active 10-year member of the Shell Lake Lions Club and enjoying life with his wife, Dee, and their two dogs, Tixie and Allie, on their 137-acre farm in the Town of Roosevelt in Burnett County, just across the Washburn County line. The technicalities of uploading photographs of the weather baffle Cox, but he remains confident in the accuracy of his reports and the accuracy of the WCCO weather reports. He explained that the meteorologists at WCCO use the data submitted by weather watchers to check the accuracy of their predictions and to make more informed predictions. Online the weather watchers can view their data in a constantly updated map visible to weather watchers. While this map is only viewable to weather watchers, everyone else can tune to the noon and evening newscasts to view weather watcher reports in a ticker at the bottom of the screen. When Cox first began as a weather watcher he took a weather class where
he learned how to spot different storms, tornados and storm fronts. While he is confident in his general weather knowledge, he also has a weather book that he can reference to identify a specific cloud formations and other weather indicators. His reports usually consist of the basic data but he also likes to include a personal comment about the weather. “If we had a real bad storm we could basically be on the front line you might say.” Fortunately he has not had to report any severe weather yet, but even so, he is prepared within reason. Even though the real-time data received in the event of severe weather is valuable information for meteorologists and people in their communities, weather watchers are told to never endanger themselves. “They’d be all ears if I saw a tornado touch down, but they also caution you don’t endanger yourself. Don’t stand out there in the middle of your yard taking pictures while a tornado’s coming,” he said, breaking a smile. Since becoming a weather watcher, Cox says he has a better understanding of weather patterns, how weather develops and deeper connection to the region. “I have always been aware of the weather ... I think everybody is aware, you’re always looking.” WCCO is still accepting applications for weather watchers. Anyone interested in becoming a weather watcher can apply at minnesota.cbslocal.com/join-theweather-watcher-network/.

City should share the loss of revenue Being that all units of government are always so willing to tax, if I was a Shell Lake business, dependent on tourism, I would be asking for a refund of all permit fees issued by the city. When I drove through town, I couldn’t believe the city campgrounds were closed for Memorial Day and the lack of urgency to open it. The city should share the loss of revenue felt by the business people in an already weak economy. Robert Washkuhn Jr. Hayward
Editor’s note: We contacted the city about this matter. The campground was open during Memorial Day weekend even though not all spaces were filled. The campground had an upgrade in electrical power going from 30 amp to 50 amp as well as water being upgraded and sewer being added to a majority of the sites. These upgrades will allow the campground to better accommodate the needs of the campers in the future. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the electrical work wasn’t able to be done until the week of May 12 and grass wasn’t able to be planted in time for the Memorial Day weekend.
TNR – an effective and humane approach Some disagree with the practice of trap, neuter, return because it is “inhumane” and because cats are released back into “the wild.” Citizens who believe this have been misled. On May 1, The Winston Project, a lowcost spay/neuter program, helped a local citizen with a colony of 13 feral cats. Like many others, this compassionate citizen quickly found herself with more than just a couple of stray cats and desperately needed assistance in stabilizing the population. All of the cats were live trapped, taken to Creatures Great and Small Veterinary Clinic, sterilized, ear tipped to identify them as being sterilized, vaccinated against rabies and then released back to their home where they will continue to live out the remainder of their lives. These cats are well-fed and have shelter. In fact, several heat lamps provided extra warmth during this especially cold winter. These cats were not released into “the
wild.” In reality, a few may suffer, but typically feral/outside cats have great survival skills and most will enjoy the remainder of their lives under their caregiver’s supervision. More importantly, no more kittens will be born and the cycle of suffering will be reduced. It may take many years to stabilize the large cat population in Washburn County, but rather than teach our young people that killing is acceptable and an easy alternative, shouldn’t we model compassion for all life and work together on alternative solutions that not only focus on prevention but have been proven to be effective and humane?

God bless America Every time there is a scandal in the White House, Barack Obama says he didn’t know what was happening. That sure shows me that he is either the most incompetent president ever or the biggest liar on the face of the Earth. And now the head of the Veterans Administration is being thrown under the bus to cover up for another one of Obama’s scandals. Obama should be the one that is resigning. America and our veterans deserve much better than an un-American, Muslim-loving president like Obama. And now Obama is releasing five hard-core terrorists because he said we don’t leave any American behind. And this is after he and Hillary Clinton left four Americans to die in Benghazi and lied and tried to blame it on a video.
If Obama was truly concerned about Americans and our veterans, he wouldn’t be trying to flood our country with all these illegal immigrants and giving them amnesty. We need to focus on jobs for our veterans and send the illegals back where they came from. Illegal immigrants are a drain on our economy, broke our laws to come here and are criminals. How many more Muslim terrorists is Obama going to let go? Time for Americans to wake up and start to wonder just whose side Obama is really on. It sure isn’t real Americans. God bless America.

Farm bill implementation continues at brisk pace with universities and state cooperative extension programs now set to help educate farmers WASHINGTON, D.C. — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is awarding $6 million to universities and cooperative state extension services to develop online decision tools and other materials and train experts to educate producers about several key farm bill programs. The new Web tools will help farmers and ranchers determine what participation in programs established by the 2014 Farm Bill will mean for their businesses. The University of Illinois, lead for the National Coalition for Producer Education, along with the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri and the Agricultural and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M, co-leads for the National Association of Agricultural and Food Policy, will receive a total of $3 million to develop the new online tools and train state-based extension agents who can in turn help educate farmers. “Helping farmers and ranchers understand new farm bill programs and what the programs mean for their families is one of USDA’s top priorities,” said Vilsack. “With the resources we’re providing, university experts will help ensure farmers and ranchers are highly educated as they make critical decisions about new programs that impact their livelihoods. The new tools that will be developed will empower farmers and ranchers to select the plan that best fits their unique needs.” The new resources will help farmers and ranchers make an educated choice between the new Agriculture Risk Coverage program and the Price Loss Coverage program. Using the new online tools, producers will be able to use data unique to their specific farming operations combined with factors like the geographical diversity of crops, soils, weather and climates across the country to test a variety of financial scenarios before officially signing up for the new program options later this year. Once a producer enrolls in the ARC or PLC program, he or she must remain in the program through the 2018 crop year. New tools will be provided for other programs as well. Sign-up for the newly established Margin Protection Program for Dairy begins late this summer and enrollment for buy-up provisions under the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program will begin early next year. An online MPP tool will be available when sign-up begins and the NAP buy-up provision resource will become available to producers in the fall for the 2015 crop year. USDA will also award $3 million to state cooperative extension services, a nationwide network of experts based at land-grant universities, for outreach and education on the new farm bill programs. Funds will 605003 39-42rp be used to conduct public education outreach meetings where producers can speak with local extension agents and Farm Service Agency staff. Outreach meetings will begin late
this summer to help farmers and ranchers understand the new programs and their options. While universities work to create new online tools, producers now have access to a preliminary website that gives them a chance to begin familiarizing themselves with the new programs and the type of information they will need to consider when deciding which program options work better for them. At this site, farmers and ranchers can view ARC and PLC projected payments, ARC guarantees and PLC payment rate projections. These tables are available on the FSA website. The funding for resources was made possible through the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers, strengthening risk management tools, expanding access to rural credit, funding critical research, establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships, developing new markets for rural-made products, and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America. For more information, visit usda.gov/ farmbill.
Mid-summer 2014 Producers receive letters notifying them of current bases and yields and 2009 to 2012 planting history. Late summer – 2014 MPP, ARC and PLC online tools become available. MPP enrollment for 2014 and 2015 begins. MPP owners have an opportunity to update yields and reallocate bases for ARC/PLC purposes. Fall 2014 NAP buy-up online tools become available. NAP buy-up sign-up starts. Winter 2014 ARC/PLC one-time selections occur. Early 2015 ARC/PLC sign-up for 2014 and 2015 starts. Visit fsa.usda.gov or the local FSA office for information about FSA and the 2014 Farm Bill programs. — from USDA

Wisconsin’s state parks, forests and trails offer something for everyone You can see for yourself for free June 7-8 John Gozdzialski | Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Northern Region director NORTHWEST WISCONIN – Welcome to a Wisconsin summer. So start planning, the DNR’s Free Fun Weekend is Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8. Wisconsin residents and visitors can fish for free, get into state parks and forests for free, bike state trails for free, and ride their ATV and UTV free on public trails open to such use. This year, for the first time, admission
to state parks and forests is free both days of the weekend. So get out and enjoy – whether you want to stay close to home or make it a weekend getaway. Get more information on the DNR website. Go to dnr.wi.gov and search free fun. A favorite is Pattison State Park, which is holding a Building Partners open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the main shelter building on Saturday, June 7. Area fire departments, Boy Scout troops, the Friends of Pattison and Amnicon Falls, and the North Country Trail Association have all been invited. Bruce Routh, a member of the CCC Camp Pattison, will attend from 10 a.m. to noon. He helped build the main shelter
in 1941. The 12th-annual Outdoor Extravaganza will be held at Les Voight State Fish Hatchery, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, June 7. The event includes fly casting and tying, archery lessons and free food and beverages – while supplies last. The parks are in full bloom and the waterfalls, thanks to recent heavy rains, are spectacular. Copper Falls State Park near Mellen is a great place to enjoy a picnic and take in the rugged natural beauty of the Bad River Gorge and associated waterfalls. Make sure to ask about the Red Granite Falls Trail while at the park. The Red Granite Falls is a hidden gem at the park. These state-operated parks, forests and
trails are ours, yours and mine. All it takes is a pass, which you can get for the day, or, as many prefer, the season. A pass will admit you not only to northern destinations, but any of the state’s 113 parks, forests, trails and recreation areas. And if you haven’t ventured out for a while, or if you have never experienced the Badgerland’s natural beauty, the DNR offers this free, no-strings attached opportunity and you can pack in all the fun you and your family wants in one weekend. So wet a line, pitch a tent, dip a paddle, or hit the trail by bike, foot, ATV or UTV. We hope to see you in the woods or on the water this summer.
NRCS announces special cover crop sign-up
Sign up by July 11
MADISON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service has announced a special funding opportunity to help landowners plant cover crops for erosion control, soil improvement or other conservation needs. Cover crops are highly effective in
reducing soil erosion, as well as suppressing weeds and building up organic matter and soil health. The cover crop may include rye, oats, millet, wheat, red clover, turnips, canola, radishes or other species, either alone or in combination. Cover crops reduce wind or water erosion by literally covering the soil. They also use up excess nutrients in the soil re-
ducing risk of runoff, they sequester carbon and improve soil structure. For more information on cover crops, see Wisconsin Cover Crops fact sheet, and How to Establish Cover and Green Manure Crops. Farmers with crop insurance will need to check with their crop insurance agent to make sure the cover crop is terminated
so as not to impact their insurance payments or coverage. Sign up at the NRCS office by July 11 to be considered for this funding. For more information, visit wi.nrcs.usda.gov, or contact in Burnett-Washburn County the NRCS office at 715-635-8228, ext. 3. — from NRCS
Good Times Tuesday to sponsor old-fashioned barn dance
First monthly event June 17
SPOONER — It’s possible that everyone had a touch of cabin fever this past winter, but there are people in the community who may find it difficult to leave their homes any time of year. Sometimes it is because they lack transportation, or they may have infirmities that make it difficult to get out, and even may have become a bit isolated in their lives. Faith In
Action is a group that matches up volunteers to help these people out with transportation, light housework and much, much more. Still, the people at Faith In Action see a need for something more, not just for their clients, but the community at large. So the idea for Good Times Tuesday was born. A new group of volunteers put their heads together and are lining up some extraordinary talent to provide entertainment, music and dancing on every
fourth Tuesday night of every month throughout the year. All of this is open to the general public, suitable for all ages and is free of charge. Refreshments will be provided free of charge, also. The Second Wind String Band will provide live music and a good old-fashioned barn dance at the first Good Times Tuesday on June 17 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Spooner Veterans Hall, which is located on Hwy. 70 at Northwestern Street. Instruction and calling for each dance will
be provided and no prior experience or special coordination is necessary. Second Wind is made up of J. Willie Williams, 12-string guitar, from Prairie Farm; Bruce Prigge, banjo, from North Branch; Gene Prigge, bass, from Rice Lake and Carol McDowall, fiddle, from Trego. Anyone who would like to share their talents on Good Times Tuesday, please call Tom, 715-520-7294 or Karen, 715-6359048. — from GTT

PAGE 8 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - JUNE 4, 2014
A new experience As a spouse takes on a new hobby or a career it sometimes affects the other mate. I remember when Ernie Swenson came to pastor the Clam Falls Lutheran Church. He entered into the ministry after being a pig farmer and an overthe-road truck driver. I recall how his wife, Fran, once said, “I wasn’t preparing to be a pastor’s wife when we got married.” I can sort of understand what she was saying. In my youth, I remember the pastor’s wife always was a piano player, taught Sunday school, attended all functions taking place at church, and assisted with all the projects within the ministry of the church. The pastor’s wife would be an unpaid partner in the ministry, working side by side with her husband. When it comes to a spouse taking up a hobby, you would think it might not need to involve the other mate. When Milt decided having pygmy goats would be a great pastime, I didn’t think I would be called upon too often to assist. Milt informed me one weekend that I would need to help him trim the
hooves of his little backyard critters that he affectionately refers to as “The Girls.” Before undertaking the task that I wasn’t prepared to do, Milt had me watch a segment on YouTube about how to trim goats hooves. Even after watching the video twice, I still didn’t want to help. Though I wasn’t excited to try this new experience, I put on my shoes, pulled on my jacket, zipping it closed as I followed Milt out to The Girls. The evening we chose to do the project of hoof trimming, a benefit was taking place at the Clam Falls Bar and Grill, which is directly across the alley from us. I found it quite ironic that the live band was playing the song “Taking Care of Business,” as I entered the backyard. All three goats have their own personality. Milt decided we would start
with the youngest. Blacky obediently climbed up on the platform that came up to Milt’s and my waist. As Milt lifted her hoof to clean and trim, Blacky was interested in the zipper on my jacket. The entire time Milt trimmed, Blacky would move the zipper of my jacket up and down with her teeth. Next we did Moosey’s hooves. We figured she we would be the most difficult. She actually was well-behaved. Maybe she was enjoying the song “Six Days on the Road” that was coming from across the alley, followed by “Twist, Shake, Rattle and Roll.” By the time we got to Smiley, the most docile of the three, we figured we had a handle on this project. Not so. First off, Smiley seems to be afraid of heights. We have noticed that she doesn’t climb to the top of the climbing towers Milt has made for The Girls to play on. As we tried to give her foot care, she tried to get away. As I cuddled her as close as I could, she would shake and burp. It seems that the goats don’t have enough rough surface to walk on to
help keep their hooves worn down. One evening, I suggested we take the goats for a walk. Attaching a rope to Smiley’s collar, she and I were able to leave the fenced-in part of the yard pretty smoothly. Oh, yes, she wanted to stop every once in a while to grab a mouthful of the luscious green grass. If I gave a gentle tug she would start walking again. She and I proceeded down the road while Milt, on the other hand, was trying to get Blacky and Moosey to go in the direction he wanted to go. Milt seemed to spend a lot of time trying to get untangled and also out of the ditch and back onto the road in what seemed to be every few seconds. I was just starting to resign myself to the fact that I would be an occasional goat farmer when Milt suggested the idea that we get one of the goats bred. I wonder if this is the beginning of something that will take me way out of my comfort zone. Milt was raised around livestock. I on the other hand, was not. I have not been preparing to take up backyard critter raising.
Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner For the love of cars Mary B. Olsen o our lives revolve around cars? I can remember things about cars, and I know the sound of a familiar car horn would bring back carloads of memories. I don’t exactly love cars but they are stored somewhere in my head. Maybe it is different in other countries, or in large cities, but people in the small towns in this country have an attachment to their automobiles that goes beyond simply one means of transportation. Most of us have an enduring love affair with our cars. In my experience, even as infants, boys show their desire for movement, anything on wheels fascinates the crawling baby boy. Girls may like movement and want to hold everything in their busy little hands, but boys want to ride on and drive things. Cars are their favorite toys. And trains, planes, trucks of all types and sizes. This extends to bikes and bumper cars and any kind of cars,
D
anything that moves. If you can push it or ride on it or drive it, the male child goes for it. When boys get a little older they start looking for all the mechanical things around the home. They want to build towers and find ways to make them fall down, too. They want to find out what is in a toy that makes it move. It is not long before the boy falls in love with cars. Girls, not as much. Maybe after a time, but they don’t usually care much about cars. Until time for the driver’s license. When I was growing up cars fascinated my brothers even when they were small. My youngest brother learned to ride a bicycle and he was so little he had to balance from side to side just as well as any acrobat. My next-youngest brother and I would sit on our front porch and he would teach me the names of all the cars that passed by on the street. He told me what to look for that made each model different. The new cars after World War II production began were really great. We didn’t have a family car most of
my growing-up years. My older brother came home with an old Model T Ford when he was in his first year of high school. He parked it in the side yard, and it soon became a major attraction in the neighborhood. All the boys came to gaze at the engine and admire the shape of the body, and offer advice on how to fix it up. I got to take a ride in it. It was not just a yard ornament or an attractive nuisance anymore. The engine ran smoothly and it had comfortable seats. The upholstery was well worn and a bit musty smelling, but it really could run along a country lane about 20 miles an hour. He didn’t have that car very long, but soon went on to other cars. He never had so many friends as when he had that car. He and his newfound friends would spend a lot of time cleaning muck off of car parts and become mesmerized by the mechanics of the car. You had to start the engine with a crank in the front of it and sometimes the crank could fly back and hit your arm. There was always a reason for someone to slide under the car and work something loose with a wrench. A
car may be a collection of parts, but to the teenaged boys it was a focal point of their lives. My two younger brothers became pilots. My youngest brother had his own plane for his business. My older brother went into the Navy, the submarine service. With my own children the desire for cars was apparent. You could soothe a colicky baby by going for a ride in the car. My boys would always choose cars if given the choice of toys. These days we can go to car shows and see the beautiful renovated cars that were given care and loving attention. I enjoy seeing them, all those cars of a bygone era. I can see the older features we don’t see in the newer cars. There may be a starter on the floor and a foot feed, and a clutch. Maybe I will see a running board and even a rumble seat. The old cars are like old friends, treasured and remembered.
Ducks kick off summer dances at Hunt Hill SARONA — Duck for the Oyster, the North Woods’ premier traditional dance band, will kick off the summer dance season at the Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary on Saturday, June 7, starting at 7:30 p.m. The dance, held in Hunt Hill’s historic cedar barn, is a great opportunity for summer folks and area residents to get together for an evening of roots dancing to the music of one of Wisconsin’s most
iconic bands. In the nearly 25 years that Duck for the Oyster has been together, they have earned a reputation throughout the Upper Midwest for the familyfriendly, community-oriented dances they present. “We love seeing neighbors get together,” says fiddler, Kevin McMullin, “That’s why we do this.

hese last two weeks were very busy down at the Shell Lake boat landing, as this previous weekend was Memorial Day weekend. In the past two weeks, the inspectors checked a total of 214 boats. No vegetation was found during the inspections. Saturday, May 24, was the busiest day we have seen this year. That day alone had 83
boats. People often ask the inspectors various questions such as where the best fishing spots are and which side of the landing is better. These are usu-
fashioned barn, honoring a tradition that’s still living after hundreds of years ... There’s just something magic about that.” McMullin says that Duck for the Oyster Hunt Hill dances attract a diverse group. “We get the widest variety of people at these dances,” says McMullin. “Singles and couples feel equally comfortable and kids appreciate feeling welcome and involved. Some folks come because they
enjoy the live music. There are always refreshments available. Everybody has a good time.” The dance is alcohol and tobacco free. Each dance is taught before the music starts; no previous experience is necessary. For more information about the dance visit duckfortheoyster.com or call 715-635-7641. — from DFTO
ally personal preference questions, and since most of the inspectors do not use the landing themselves, we do not actually know the answer to these questions and have to answer with what we have heard from previous boaters. Annual and daily permits sold in these two weeks were quite high due to Memorial Day weekend. We sold 66
annual permits for a total of $1,320, and 86 daily permits for a total of $430. This comes to a grand total of $1,750 in the last two weeks.

Graduate survey results show success
SHELL LAKE — Successful college graduates need more than a degree. They need to possess essential skills to get the job done and the confidence to step up to a wide range of career challenges. Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College prepares graduates for the real world by offering a technologically advanced college experience that is based on the latest theories, approaches and industry standards. Each year, WITC surveys its graduates to find out how well their degree or diploma prepared them for their career. The results reveal an impressive track record of academic excellence and valuable career perspective. The study of 2013 graduates included 1,560 graduates who completed associate degrees and technical diplomas at any of the WITC campuses, outreach centers and the learning center. Out of that total, 1,307 graduates either responded to the mailed questionnaire, e-mail request, or a follow-up telephone contact, creating a response rate of 84 percent. Ninety-one percent of the graduates were hired within just six months of graduating. Annual earnings of WITC graduates right after graduation are strong – averaging $35,072 annually for those working in careers related to their WITC education. The most satisfying part of the survey reveals that a high percentage – 73 percent of those employed – were able to start their career in an occupation related to their training.
“These responses confirm that an education from WITC provides an excellent payback and outstanding job placement prospects,” said WITC President Bob Meyer. “Our graduates are leveraging their WITC training to launch exciting careers with impressive starting salaries that offer excellent future growth potential. These survey results also illustrate how WITC’s staff has made student learning and success our top priority.” Ninety-seven percent of the graduates said they were satisfied with the training they received at WITC and 98 percent would recommend WITC to a friend or family member. Eighty percent of graduates who are employed in a job related to their WITC education are working in Wisconsin and contributing to the state’s economic development. Ranked fourth best two-year college in the nation by Washington Monthly magazine, WITC serves the educational and career needs of more than 25,000 residents of northwestern Wisconsin each year. With multiple campuses, WITC offers career-focused associate degree programs, technical diplomas, short-term certificates, customized business training, and a wide array of courses for personal or career enrichment. WITC is a member of the Wisconsin Technical College System. For more information, call 800-243WITC or visit witc.edu. WITC is an equal opportunity/access employer and educator. — from WITC

James “Jim” Toll James “Jim” Toll, 76, of Shell Lake, died Sunday, June 1, 2014, at his home on the farm. He was born June 6, 1937, in the Town of Dewey, to James and Arlyne (Cornelison) Toll.

Golf scramble set SPOONER — The annual Par for Pets golf scramble fundraiser for the Washburn County Area Humane Society is swinging into play on Sunday, June 8, at the Spooner Golf Course, with a shotgun start of 3 p.m. There will be a $40 per person registration fee, which will include nine holes of golf, use of a golf cart, and chicken buffet. This is definitely a day of golfing fun for everyone of all ages and skill levels, so singles, couples, and teams of men, women and kids are all welcome to take part in this very worthy charity event. Put together a team yourself or just come out on June 8 and join up with other golfers. Preregistration is encouraged and may be done by calling the golf course at 715-635-3580; however, golfers may also register beginning at 2 p.m. the day of the event. There will be a variety of golf prizes, raffles and games both on the course and in the clubhouse that day. What better way to spend a nice Sunday afternoon and also do a wealth of good for the community’s animal shelter. This is an all-around, feel-good deal — golfers enjoy the game, winning prizes, eating well, and the WCAHS shelter enjoys the benefits from their enjoyable day on the golf course. What a stroke of good luck for all. — from WCAHS

T
wo of the world’s most famous theologians, Karl Barth and Paul Tillich, were having a debate about the important questions people have about life. Tillich said that theology should answer the psychological questions people have about their felt needs. Barth responded with a loud, “No!” He continued his objection to that idea stating that, “The world does not know the right questions to ask. God,” he continued, “must reveal the right questions to man as well as the right answers!” In Psalm 15 God revealed both the right questions and the right answers through David. “Who,” David wanted to know, “may live in the presence of God? Who can stand before him? Who can know him now and forever? And who can go to heaven?” David asked questions that force us to look at both our attitude and our actions. They cover our walk as well as our works. It also addresses the fact that it is not possible to remain neutral in our relationship with God. We are either growing closer to him or drifting farther away from him. He did not ask any superficial questions of God. He was serious as well as sincere. He was not only concerned about his journey through life but about his ultimate destination - abiding with him forever. Jesus addressed the necessity of abiding in him. “Those who abide in me,” he said, “will produce much fruit. But apart from me, you can do nothing.”

Sarona
by Marian Furchtenicht
June, the Dairy Month, arrived in full beauty with the fragrant lilacs, plums and flowering crabs blooming. Rain and hot weather has hatched out a huge crop of healthy mosquitoes that have been so vicious even in the daytime. Several folks commented they have never seen them so bad. For a day or two last week, the catkin fuzz from the Aspen trees came floating down like snowflakes. This is the allergy time of year. What else is new? Folks have been enjoying free rhubarb and asparagus that’s doing good with plenty of moisture and heat. My robin’s nest has babies in it. It took two weeks to incubate, now the parents are busy bringing them food. Someone asked, “What do you do with a wood tick?” Some burn them, some flush them, some pull their heads off, but I found vacuum sealing them in cellophane tape works really well. Farmers have been busy planting. They finally got in the fields for a few days, but Sunday afternoon and evening another 1-1/2 inches of rain fell so that ended that. The last couple of weekends there has been lots of graduation open houses folks have been attending. Local kids from West Sarona graduating were Austin Gagner and Hana Anderson from Shell Lake and Faith O’Donnell from Spooner. Congratulations. Den and Rosalie Boland with Zack and Candy returned last weekend after their annual week of fishing the Chippewa Flowage. Topping off their excellent week of fishing fun was Zack catching an 8-pound walleye, which he plans to have mounted. Mavis Schlapper’s grandson, Bob Chernocky, and fi-
Heart Lake
ancée from Elk Mound came up. They tilled and planted her garden for her. Betty Schlapper and son David of Rice Lake visited at Mavis’ one day after being at the Sarona Cemetery. I see they have a beautiful black marble bench memorial marker in the Sarona Cemetery for Ray. Al and Jolene Loew attended their daughter Sue and husband David Haiama’s 25th wedding anniversary party at their church in Menomonie and a family reception after renewing their vows on May 27. The Big Ripley Trekkers team participated in the Relay For Life event at the Shell Lake High School on Friday evening. There was a good turnout and great weather. The theme was Celebrating Hope. The community can be proud of the funds raised before and after the event for the American Cancer Society. Sandi Vogh reports that a few monarch butterflies have been sighted in the neighborhood. Don’t forget to keep milkweed plants around to help bring the population back. They are praying for the dragonflies to hatch to take care of the mosquito crop. Randy and Rita Baker came out after Virginia Stodola and took her with to graduation open house for Beau Skluzacek held at his parents, Curt and Paige’s, on Saturday afternoon. Gloria Frey had cataract surgery on Wednesday in Rice Lake with Dr. Gray, so she’s busy putting drops in her eyes. Andy and Emily Frey of Spooner stopped by Gramp and Gramma’s one day for a visit. Lance and Ericka Parker, Krista and Lanie went to Madison to the graduation of Lance’s daughter, Cassidy. Chane Hutton stayed with Gramp and Grandma Krantz.

Rain, rain go away. Come again some other day. We used to say that when I was young, a long time ago. Now we welcome all we can get. The street isn’t too good by Salem Church so people had a tough time finding a parking spot. Howard Snow celebrated his birthday last week and of course, cake and ice cream go together to celebrate. Birthday greetings Howard. Joni Parker came to give Communion to any who wanted it last Friday. Relay For Life was held on Friday evening. Reports are that it was a good turnout and good food. Last Saturday, Jeff and I attended the graduation party for Katie Gronning at the Alliance Church. Congratulations to you Katie. Congratulations to all graduates. Last Friday and Saturday, Mary and John Marschall went to Drummond to camp. Mary said they had a good time. The mosquitoes weren’t bad, but the wood ticks took over. I guess you can’t win. Salem Lutheran Church welcomed new members on Sunday at services: Marvin Mortenson and Gary and Sue
Dewey Country
Peterson. Peder Pederson attended funeral services for Joy Parker, 85, at the Pentecostal Church on Saturday. Curt and Martha of Hudson came up for the funeral. Fishing enthusiasts Wendell Turpin, Brad Pederson, son Ryan, Jake Pederson and friend Troy all returned from a trip to Canada at Howard Ullom’s resort. They had a good time and fishing was good. Sue and Larry Winner were in Canada on a Lions trip and on the way back they went by the resort and stopped to say hello to Howard as he is a Shell Lake boy. They all were surprised to see each other. Sympathy to the family of Jim Toll who passed away over the weekend. Otto was planning a trip to Portland and when he went to get his ticket they told him, “You’ll have to change twice to take the train from Portland to Chicago.” “Den I can’t go,” said Otto. “I only got vun suit of clothes.”
Greg Krantz’s friends, Kati and Jim from the Twin Cities, were at their Tiptown cabin, and stopped at the Krantzes’ home en route to Rice Lake for a quick visit Marilyn and Renee Zimmerman walked in the Relay For Life cancer walk on Friday night. Saturday, Janet and Marilyn Zimmerman attended the 50th wedding anniversary party for Gaylord and Pat Kennedy of Rice Lake that was held there at the Masonic Center. Congrats to them. A week ago Saturday, I met sisters Sharon Wilber and Nell Lee at the church in Earl and attended the memorial service for an old neighbor and friend, Lois Titus, who had passed away at her home in Louisville, Ky., in January. Sympathy is extended. Afterward, we went to the Earl Cemetery. Saturday, my brother, Don Shoquist, and I went together to our niece’s son, Eric Anderson’s, graduation party in the Town of Crystal. It was a nice party. We enjoyed seeing baby twin fawns, so little and cute, by the house at our old home place when we were going by. We also stopped for a chat with old neighbor Clarence Nelson. He was out by his mailbox. Nice to see him. Birthday wishes to Emme Schaeffer, June 5; Mary West, Wayne Berman, John Biver, Allan Ross and Bill Foltz, June 6; Chris Musil, Kannen Odden and Wayne Schlapper, June 7; Debbie Leckel, June 8; Steve Dahlstrom, June 9; Inez Elliott and Tom Glessing, June 10; Kevin Gagner, Mickey Rummel and Emily Riewestal, June 11. Have a happy one. Some couples with wedding anniversaries this week are Dennie and Judy Furchtenicht Davies, their 45th on June 7; Dick and Charlotte Shovers, Bill and Melissa Petz and Nate and Valerie Anderson, June 8; LeRoy and Doriene Drake, June 9; Kyle and Amy Schaffer and Ray and Debby Johnson, June 10. Dairy breakfast time. Watch the papers. They are always so good.

We had rain this week. Yes, we got over 3 inches and it was still going to rain more. Let’s hope it does some good for the alfalfa, which is coming nicely. See some farmers haven’t gotten their corn in due to the wet weather. A very happy birthday to Alvin Honetor who turns the ripe old age of 86 on June 10. Alvin lives in Rice Lake. Happy anniversary to Frank and Carol Graf as they enjoy their special day together on June 10. Many more to you. Happy birthday to Nolan and Abby Stellrecht as they enjoy their birthday June 10. Have a great day. June 11, a very happy birthday to Donna Crosby and also to Judy Leonard as they celebrate their birthdays. June 12, a very happy birthday to Christopher Redding. Have a wonderful day Christopher. June is Dairy Month. Yes, once again it’s time to salute our hardworking dairy families who work so hard to provide delicious, nutritious dairy products for all to enjoy. Speaking of June Dairy Month, plan to take in the dairy breakfast at the Washburn County Fairgrounds in Spooner on Saturday, June 14, starting at 6:30 a.m. Lots of things to enjoy so plan on taking it in. It only comes once a year. Last Sunday, Don and Eleanor Grunnes were at church and got their awards for being over 80 years old. Congratulations. You know I have mowed my lawn twice this spring. I just love the color of those dandelions. They’re so pretty and look helpless when we cut them off with the lawn mower. Well, I like those dandelions and this past week I found out dandelion stems just stood up so tall and brave. I’d cut the yellow off and left the stems. Well those tall stems looked really bad and stood up as if to say, “Come and get me.” So I went over them again and it didn’t cut much off. I do think those dandelions duck when they see the lawn mower coming. Let’s hope I get them cut off. Talking with Bertha Soelle, Jack’s mom, she tells us Jack has undergone two skin-graft surgeries. His brother, Carl, was up to see Jack also. Bertha is 94 and unable to go see her son at this time. She says she is feeling good. No garden for her this spring as she can’t get down to weed. Bertha is a very dear lady and so nice to talk to. Jack’s address is St. Mary’s Hospital, 407 E. 3rd St., Duluth, MN 55805. His number is 218-726-4000. Cards would be appreciated. I had the pleasure of talking to Jack on Sunday. At this time he has no idea when he can come home. Professor Craig Smith came to see me on Tuesday.
Craig works in Schaumburg, Ill., and has been at this job for 21 years. He is the associate editor of a magazine they put out twice a month and it is sent to 85,000 vets in the United States. He also showed me pictures of Emily, Mary Ann Mattson’s daughter, who got married in March after she was done with college. Congratulations to Brad and Christy Hodgson who are the parents of a baby, Kendall Elizabeth. This past week I took my two pups on a walk through the woods. Oh, they loved to run and snoop. When looking at the treetops, the different shades of green were marvelous. I picked some flowers. The pups had such a good run and were happy to be home. Evelyn and Cecil Melton had some of their children home over the Memorial holiday. Coming on Sunday were Vicki and Don Trott, Jeff and Peggy Vesta, Don Lane and Robin Melton. They enjoyed playing cards. On Saturday the Meltons attended two graduation parties. While here, Robin helped her mom plant flowers and did yard work. Evelyn says no garden as she can’t handle it anymore. Allan Melton puts in a large garden and they get fresh veggies from him. John Brabec, Chicago, Ill., was up for the week, along with the two Joes who hunt mushrooms in the fall. John loves it here. I’d be surprise if he doesn’t retire here. Talking with my brother, Paul Meister, I find him not doing too well. Hopefully you’ll feel better soon, Paul. Talking with Lynn Smith from Poquette Apple Orchard, she says it won’t be long and Bob will be spraying the apple trees. He was busy Saturday planting more trees. Lynn, I hope you’re resting up because when the apples are ready you will be busy selling them. Last Friday, Gretchen Best, her two sisters and her mom traveled to Lake Mille Lacs, staying overnight at the casino. Saturday they visited Roger Strege, the girls’ brother. Gretchen says coming home a shoulder of the road was washed out near Grantsburg. Jerry Best planted Gretchen’s garden. The gals returned Saturday evening. Over the Memorial Day weekend, Maynard and Rhonda Mangelsen had a big birthday blast for their little ones, Aubrey who turned 1 and June’s granddaughter who also turned 1 and June who turned 36. Rhonda tells us they had 48 relatives there. They had a potluck dinner with Rhonda making chicken and beans to go with the food others brought. Rhonda’s sister, Sharon Fierstine, had back surgery recently at St. Cloud, Minn. Maynard and Rhonda went to see her. She was to get out of the hospital on Monday. Daya, Jordan and Cora Lawrence were over to Rhonda’s and they made cookies.
Ann Johnson tells us she has most of her garden in except for tomatoes. May 29, a big thank-you to Ann Johnson, Diane Hulleman, Curt and Myrna Atkinson, Jan Erickson and Roxie Spaulding for the wonderful job they did cleaning up the Dewey Town Hall. Floors are mopped, windows cleaned on both sides, chairs and tables washed, refrigerator cleaned. This is the first time in almost nine years that the hall has been cleaned this thoroughly. Make sure and thank these ladies and Kurt for the wonderful job they did. Everett Lindstrom fell at home and broke his hip. His daughters, Mary Ann and Valoris, are here. Get-well wishes to you Everett. Memorial Day, Butch and Loretta VanSelus were guests at Matthew, Cory, Reyna, Meghan and Jameson Stone’s in Shell Lake for a cookout. Butch says it was so good. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Jim Toll, who passed away Sunday. Jim leaves a wife, Marilyn, sons Kevin and family, Terry and family, and David and fiancée Tammy Moe, sister Tammy Toll, nieces and nephews. Jim was preceded in death by his folks, Cecil and Arlene Toll, and brother Teddy. May the family know they are in all our special thoughts and prayers. Sunday, Diane Hulleman was the sponsor for Jakota Hendry and after the services at the Lakeview Methodist Church, the ladies and their sponsor went to the Episcopal Church in Spooner. Diane had company at her house when she came home. There were Chad and Colleen Jensen and Izzy and Ginny Schnell. All enjoyed dinner and the afternoon of visiting. Penny Ladd and Rem, Ry and Ree were at their nephew’s graduation party held at Silver Lake on Saturday. Penny said the kids swam and it was a great time for everyone. Over the Memorial holiday, Beth and Garry Crosby had Shorty and Melissa Crosby, Tyler and Katie Ann, Tom and Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alycia and Chad and Ashley Crosby, Chase, Morgan and Joyel in for supper. This past Friday, Garry and Beth drove to Chad and Ashley’s and attended the pregraduation for Josie who graduated. Sunday the Garry Crosbys had some of their children in for supper. Rich and Vicki Friepick stopped at the Crosbys’ after attending their grandson’s graduation. The Crosby brothers are still busy planting. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

Barronett
by Judy Pieper
Well, I finally saw a bear and it was while I was driving the car rather than walking. He was in a cornfield just past that stand of evergreens by Dr. Stone’s house. I don’t know what could have been so interesting there, but quite a few people have seen him in the same spot at different times. And, Art Adams saw a mama bear with three cubs just up by Ron Pearson’s old place on the way to Hilltop. And, Jim Trolinger saw a mama and two cubs at the intersection of CTH J and Hwy. 63. Oh, one ran across the road in front of me out by Dan Schullo’s farm, too. Boy, he was going fast. I decided then that if I do go out walking, I’ll take someone along that I can outrun. I know for sure that I can’t outrun a bear. There are two young Barronett ladies who graduated from Cumberland High School this year that I failed to mention last week. They are: Jennifer Ullrich, Bob and Suzy’s daughter, who will be attending WITC in Rice Lake this fall. Jennifer will be taking classes to become a medical office specialist. And, Carissa McClain, Kevin and Casey’s daughter, who will be attending UW-La Crosse this fall. Carissa will be studying to become a physicians’ assistant. Great work ladies. And, congratulations to all the graduating seniors this year. It’s good to know that we have some very mature, responsible young adults coming up the ranks to keep everything running smoothly as we old-timers retire. Dick and Ruth Grover had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Dennis and Darlene Spiser and the Spisers’ daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren, James, Michelle, Brody and Harper Lynn Simmons, were up to visit. This was the first time that Dick and Ruth had met little Harper Lynn, and, of course, she is absolutely adorable. If you don’t believe me, just ask her GreatGrandma Ruth. So, while Ruth is getting to know and spoil Harper Lynn a little better, Brody is outside keeping Great-Grandpa Dick extremely busy. Together they put many miles on the Kubota and the golf cart. Dick and Ruth did visit with the adult members of the family too, of course, but it’s always the little ones who are mentioned. Jim and Joyce Trolinger were up camping at the creek by Hilltop with the Copus bunch over the Memorial Day weekend. While they are in the area, they always
Stone Lake
come in to Barronett, at least once during the stay, to have breakfast at the Red Brick. They’ve been doing this for years now, and have gotten to know Debbie pretty well. They were amazed, though, on their second visit to the cafe when Debbie greeted them and asked them if they would like their usual. You have to remember that it had been a year since she had seen them, and she had only seen them once before. They thought she was kidding. Joyce said, “Yeah, right. What is my usual?” And, Debbie told her exactly what she had ordered the year before. I can’t imagine! If I was waiting tables, and there were only two people at a table, I’d have to ask them which one had what. Elmer Anderson has joined the ranks of those spoiling the friendly neighborhood moocher. Elmer makes a delicious onion pie, doesn’t sound like a pie, I know, but I have it on good authority that it is delicious, and he brought one in for Terry on Sunday morning. Terry called later and said that he had a friend, who was a little hesitant about onion pie, try a piece, and that the friend was very surprised at how good it is. Maybe we can talk Elmer into making one for the pie and icecream social at the Colorfest this fall so we can try it. Terry called just as I was having trouble with my computer, so I wasn’t in a very good mood. When computers work the way you want them to, they’re great. When they don’t, I’d like to throw them through a window. Anyway, Terry said that he knows exactly how I feel when I’m mad at the computer. He has one that he hasn’t used for almost two years and he’s still paying for the Internet. He said that he knows that someday he’ll want to look something up, so he doesn’t want to drop it. News flash, Terry, the library is free. Quit paying for something you will only use once every three or four years. Nancy and John Forrestal had a wonderful vacation in sunny Texas last month. Their first stop was in Seguin, where they visited with Nancy’s sister and brother-in-law for a week. Then they went down to San Antonio to see the sights. They went on the river walk and took a tour of the river on a barge. They saw the hospital where Carol Burnett was born. I didn’t know she was born in Texas, did you? They went to a car mu-
seum, and Nancy said that it was fantastic. There was every car imaginable there. They have one car, from the 1920s, and Nancy can’t remember the name of it, but it is one of only six in the entire world. Of course they saw the Alamo. Nancy said that she saw it in the 1980s, and it has changed considerably since then. When she was there last, everyone had to be very quiet. Now, she said, everyone is chattering about what they’re seeing. And, in the ‘80s, it was pretty dark inside. Now it’s all modern with floodlights illuminating the different areas. John went on a tour of a snake farm. Sounds like Nancy busied herself doing other things while he did that. Don’t blame her a bit. Why would someone have a snake farm? Certainly can’t milk ‘em. They had a very nice vacation, but, of course, they’re happy to be home in Barronett again. The Lehmann family had a very nice Sunday afternoon this past week. Gary and Cheryl invited the family to the hunting shack for a get-together. Gary made everyone homemade pizza, which is always delicious. The guests were Don and Anitia Lehmann, Marguerite Anderson, Aaron and Erin Lehmann, and grandchildren DaShaun, Miles and Charlie. After they ate, everyone except Don and Cheryl went four-wheeler riding. DaShaun took his great-grandmas, Anitia and Marguerite, for the ride of their lives. They really enjoyed it. And, while the rest of the family was frolicking on the four-wheelers and having a great time, Craig and Deb Lehmann sneaked over to Don and Anitia’s place and mowed the grass and trimmed around everything. It’s really nice to have a great family, isn’t it? If you happen to be driving through Barronett, check out the place where the burned house was on 30th. Steve Madison and his crew were here for three or four hours last week, and they cleaned the entire thing up. They did a fantastic job. You’d never even know that there was such a mess there. And, even better, they didn’t run over the little pine tree that Tom Poznikowich planted for his mom. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Happy June. See you next time.

A big welcome to all of you vacationers and lake-home people. It’s great seeing you back enjoying beautiful Stone Lake. The Stone Lake Area Historical Society has just received a full Soo Line Railroad conductor’s uniform. It was donated by the family of Dale W. Carlstrom and is on display in the Railroad Room of the museum. It is being displayed on a full-size mannequin, so don’t be frightened. On their wish list they are wishing for a navy blue conductor’s hat. Is there a chance anyone out there might have one? The chances are slim, but they thought they would start by asking folks in our town first. They could also use a pair of black shoes for our conductor, size 11 or 12. Right now he has temporarily borrowed a pair from a member of the historical society. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. On Memorial Day the museum was visited by Tripp family members who were in the area for a family reunion. Around 30 folks dropped by for a few hours, with some family members all the way from Miami, Fla. Docents Pat Montgomery and Vera Lindell were there and Carol McDonnell joined them in showing everyone through the museum. They really enjoyed it and have already sent the museum a copy of the Elmer Gaylor family memories as written by Mary Steckel. We are encouraging any of you who are having family reunions to consider the museum as an important place to stop and visit. They would like to help you add something special to your reunion. Another wonderful gift has come to the museum recently. Mary Neu Reeves, daughter of Clarence and Mary Neu, has given the original scale from the Stone
Lake Creamery. It is now being displayed in the museum along with thermometers used in the creamery, and in making candy during that period of time as well as many other unusual articles from that era. Sharon Svejda’s son, David Svejda, was kind enough to pick up all of these items at Mary’s home in Janesville and bring them to the museum on Memorial Day weekend. For those of you looking forward to the antique appraisal event on Saturday, June 14, at the fire hall, the time for you to submit your reservation for appraisal has been extended to Tuesday, June 10, so there is still time to participate. Stone Lake Park is now open for the season. The ball field, pavilion and/or pickle ball may be reserved by calling John Saunders at 715-865-3041. Some Stone Lake area women are meeting every Friday at 10 a.m. to play pickle ball. They will meet at the Stone Lake Lions Park at the pickle ball court near the rest rooms. They will play informally, no league, with round-robin playing. They will teach those who don’t know how to play and have them team up with someone who has had experience. Bring a paddle, if you have one, a chair and water. There will be extra paddles if you don’t have one. There is only one court, so four people can play at one time. All are welcome to come play or watch. Rules: Pickle ball is a blend of tennis, badminton and pingpong. The court is less than half the size of a tennis court. The serve is underhand with a whiffle ball. The serve must land in the opposite court and must bounce on the return. After the ball bounces a second time it can be hit in the air before it bounces or after it bounces. A game goes to 11 points and the winners must
win by two points. You can only score when your side is serving. If you have any questions, please call Alice Kissinger at 715-865-3419. Stone Lake Music Night will be Saturday, June 7, 6:30-9 p.m. at the Stone Lake Lions Hall. Free admission, with local musicians playing a variety of favorites for your listening pleasure and dancing. Don’t forget the Stone Lake area garage sale on Saturday, June 7, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. To register your garage sale please submit a form with a check for $12 made out to Stone Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, P.O. Box 75, Stone Lake, WI 54876 or dropped off at Marie’s. If you have questions please call 715-865-3302. Forms can be submitted at Marie’s Hideaway. Signs and advance copies of maps will be released to garage salers on Thursday and Friday before the sale at Marie’s Hideaway and Betty Lou’s. Don’t forget the annual membership meeting at the Lakes Community Co-op at 10 a.m. at the Stone Lake Town Hall. Stone Lake Community Bible School will be held at First Lutheran from 9 a.m.-noon, June 23-28. The Bible school is free to children ages 5 through sixth grade. For information contact either First Lutheran or Stone Lake Wesleyan churches. With all the rain we are blessed with a great crop of mosquitoes and wood ticks. Please check carefully for the wood ticks as they are out in full force. Have a good week and be safe. Mary Nilssen can be reached at 715-865-4008 or upnorthnils2@gamil.com.

SPOONER — A broad variety of perennials for sunny and shady spots, some herbs, miniature gardens and more will be waiting to grace gardens, homes and businesses during the Spooner Garden Club’s annual spring plant sale on Saturday, June 7. The hundreds of plants are from the garden club members’ own gardens. The twice-annual sale – one is held the first Saturday in June and one the last Saturday in August – is renowned for having plants that are hardy and thrive in the local area, the club said. The sale will be held from 9 a.m. until sold out, which is usually quickly, at the Dave’s Hardware Hank parking lot in Spooner. Two special features this year will be a bake sale, with the treats made by garden club members, and the sale of gently read gardening magazines. The bake sale and the magazine browsing and selection begin at 8:30 a.m.

ast month, specifically May 7, you may have seen groups of adults and students working around the city. It was our first, and hopefully annual, Community Celebration event. Groups of students cleaned up downtown, at the senior centers, churches, city park and beach areas, and around school grounds. It was an awesome event! Other than a few suggestions on some logistical improvements, the community and Shell Lake staff received it in a very positive way. ••• Our awards ceremony and graduation exercise went very smoothly. Danette Hopke, Tim Ullom and the custodians, Bob Forsyth, Sue Berlin, Ben Kunselman, Steve Bulgrin and a host of others work very hard to make sure the events

Spooner Middle School students help battle invasive wetland plant
Spooner eighth-graders helped with the invasive species project. SPOONER — It’s not often that beetles get raised on purpose, but that’s what the Spooner Middle School helped with on Thursday, 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 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, purple loosestrife roots were dug up and the students planted over 200 of them into buckets, which are placed in swimming pools inside each cage. Small holes in the pools help keep water levels at the proper depth. In a few weeks, the plants will grow tall enough to introduce beetles. The beetles that are released in the rearing cages im-
mediately begin feeding and laying eggs. Each female can lay up to 500 eggs. After going through several lifecycle stages, new adult beetles will hatch in about six weeks. Each rearing cage may potentially produce 75,000 beetles or more to be released into infested purple loosestrife areas. The Galerucella beetles only eat purple loosestrife plants. As the loosestrife population declines, so do the beetles. People get concerned when they hear you’re releasing beetles, but these have proven to be safe and very effective. 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 students and the Wisconsin 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 715-4684654 or lburns@co.washburn.wi.us. — from WCLAWD

Students from Spooner Middle School are shown planting purple loosestrife rootstock, an invasive species, to aid in the rearing of Galerucella beetles. The Galerucella beetles, shown here feeding on purple loosestrife leaves, will reproduce quickly, around 75,000 in six weeks. They help control the spread of the invasive plant.
