Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Memorial Day is a national day set aside to remember and honor all military service to the U.S. The service stories of the individuals featured here vary greatly; many never heard before. In anticipation of this national day of remembrance, several local veterans will be featured and their service recognized. This week we feature four veterans and their stories are as follows. Charles Lutz is a resident of Shell Lake and a veteran of WWII. Lutz enlisted at 19 in Tacoma, Wash., on Nov. 20, 1942. He was trained to be an airplane mechanic and served on active duty from his enlistment to Oct. 30, 1943, when he was honorably Charles Lutz, Shell Lake, discharged due to illness. After dis- served in the Air Force during charge he served WWII. This photo first ran in the a year on the Washburn County Register on George Sloan ore April 29, 1943. — Photo submitboat on the Great ted Lakes. Dave Wilson is a resident of Shell Lake and a veteran of the Army National Guard. Wilson served just over 23 years as an enlisted man and retired as a platoon sergeant in December of 2012. “I got to see a lot of the world I wouldn’t have otherwise, do some things most people can’t say they have done,” said Wilson. Wilson signed up in August of 1989 as a senior in high school and left for basic training in June of 1990. The first three enlisted years he served in a California light infantry division, then served in the California Guard before he transferred

Wilson’s family has a history of military service, with his dad, grandfather and stepdad each serving. Notable times in his service career were his two tours of duty in Iraq. His first tour in Iraq was from 2004 to 2005, the second from 2009 to 2010. During his first tour Wilson did convoy security and base securities. “Actually, for a while, I was assigned to run detainee operations for captured enemy person-

Local supporters attend largest WHA Advocacy Day event ever Over 1,000 hospital advocates in Madison to learn and meet with legislators

MADISON — Over 1,100 hospital leaders, employees, trustees and volunteers, including representatives from Spooner Health System and Indianhead Medical Center, descended on Madison on April 28 to participate in the Wisconsin Hospital Association’s Advocacy Day event.

Advocacy Day is an annual event that connects hospital supporters with their legislators in Madison so lawmakers can learn how issues impact local hospitals and communities. “This year’s event was the largest in WHA’s history and one of, if not the largest event of its kind held in Madison each year. We are proud to have been a part of this tremendous day,” said Mike Schafer, SHS CEO. “With the state budget process in full swing, we were able to talk with our legislators about key issues, like Medicaid funding and protecting Wisconsin’s Worker’s Compensation program.”

Attending the WHA Advocacy Day were (L to R): Linda Magnus, IMC employee and SHS volunteer; Jude Bolterman, IMC employee and volunteer; Beth Burnham, SHS volunteer; Mike Schafer, SHS CEO. — Photos submitted

Shown (L to R): Mike Schafer, SHS CEO; Tucker Carlson, Fox News anchor and keynote speaker; Eric Borgerding, WHA president, at the Wisconsin Hospital Association’s Advocacy Day event April 28 in Madison.

The record-breaking crowd heard from the always-popular bipartisan legislative panel of state Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, RRiver Falls, state Sen. Jen Shilling, D–La Crosse, state Rep. Joe Sanfelippo, R-West Allis, and state Rep. Peter Barca, D-Kenosha. Advocacy Day attendees also heard from keynote speakers Tucker Carlson, veteran journalist and political commentator, and Gov. Scott Walker. This year 650 attendees spent time in the afternoon meeting with elected officials in the state Capitol. Advocates made sure their legislators were aware of the

role hospitals play in communities across the state in providing high-quality, highvalue health care and how the Legislature can support those efforts through the policies it enacts. “We are proud of Wisconsin’s reputation of providing some of the highest quality, highest value care in the nation,” said Schafer. “Advocacy Day allows us to help legislators understand how their policy decisions can help protect our local hospital, patients and communities.” — from SHS/IMC

Veterans/from page 1 nel,” said Wilson. His second tour in Iraq was very different from the first. This time he was training Iraqi correctional officers how to run prisons, to be a prison guard and similar instruction for the purpose of turning over the detainee operations to the then existing independent Iraqi government. “It was some of the best times in my life and some of the worst times,” he said. Getting close with some of the guys, the camaraderie and friendships that he made over the years are highlights. He pointed out that sometimes they were tired, dirty, wet, hungry, cold, upset, or just down but other times their missions were interesting. Even so he faced challenges and not just those that confronted him in the service. “There was a lot of sacrifice there. It got real hard leaving the little guy for the second tour in 2009,” he said. Previous to being deployed on his first tour Wilson got married but had to leave before they could have a honeymoon. Today Wilson has three boys; the oldest is 22 and attends college in Superior, a 15-year-old who is a student at Shell Lake High School and a 10-year-old who is also enrolled in Shell Lake Schools. Looking back, his experience in the service prepared him for his current career in law enforcement. In college he became an EMT and worked as one for 14 years. After moving to Shell Lake he volunteered on the Shell Lake Fire Department for 10 years. Wilson has also served on the Washburn County Board since 2012.

Alvin Holman, Shell Lake, reflects on his service in the Korean War through the pictures he took during his service. — Photo by Danielle H. Moe

Alvin Holman served as a combat engineer. Here he stands in a crater made by a charge they had set off to hold the machine gun that protected their camp. — Photo submitted Alvin Holman is a resident of Shell Lake and a veteran of the Korean War. Holman was drafted in 1951 and served as a private first class combat engineer in the Army 24th Infantry Division. “We worked roads, we worked land mines, setting them and picking them up,” said Holman. As an engineer Holman also built aerial tramways that would carry men and supplies up and down the hillsides in Korea. The work of engineers was needed everywhere and Holman’s service was split between Korea and Japan. “Part of our job was demolition,” he said. His work was varied; near the front lines, on prison island camps, and in Japan. On the prison islands Holman and his division built guard towers. At a training area on Japan Holman said that, “on a clear day we could see Siberia.” His division also had soldiers from the Republic of Korea that acted as interpreters for them. “There were a couple times when we were in Korea that would make you wonder if you were going to go home,” he said. Holman spent two Christmases in Korea, 1951 and 1952. Just after the Christmas of 1952 Holman’s division was replaced by the 40th and he returned to the U.S. For the change from the 24th to the 40th Holman remembers setting up what they called tent city. On the 50th anniversary of the Korean War, Holman received a service medal from the Republic of Korea and a certifi-

cate in gratitude of his service signed by then Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson. Sam Italiano is a resident of Sarona and a veteran of the Vietnam War. Italiano enlisted in 1968 in the Marine Corps where he served in Vietnam as an anti-tank, demolition, flamethrower expert and most memorably as a Tunnel Rat. “There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about that place,” said Italiano. He served in-country for 12 months and 20 days near the end of 1969 and into 1970, “missing” the Tet Offensive in 1968 and 1969. Italiano held the rank of sergeant with the Combined Action Program 412, in a seven-man rifle squad. “We used to set up ambushes and stuff. We worked with the Popular Forces, the P-Fs they were called, and we just roamed around the DMZ and set up ambushes with these Popular Forces, we set up security,” he said. On patrol he carried a backpack, a 12-gauge Winchester pump shotgun and ammo. The shotgun went everywhere he did. While patrolling the squad would come across entrances to tunnel complexes built and used by the Viet Cong. “They had everything down there, they had hospitals, storage for explosives, a galley like a kitchen, sleeping quarters, you name it they had it,” he said. Since he was trained for mines and demolitions he volunteered to blow the entrances to these tunnels shut. But before closing the tunnel entrances, Italiano would go down into the tunnels and search them out,

Italiano served in Vietnam as a Tunnel Rat. Here he is pictured with the 12-gauge shotgun that was always with him. — Photo submitted “and when I went down in those tunnels I went in some that weren’t no bigger than a garbage can, it was just a fighting hole,” he said. These forces blasting the tunnels closed were called Tunnel Rats. “Sometimes when I got back my clothes were nothing but rags, I stayed out in the bush so long,” he said. Memorable moments for Italiano include plowing a field with a water buffalo, his squad getting split up, being blown out of his hammock by a rocket and learning about the death of a high school friend while sitting on ambush. Italiano wasn’t injured by the rocket; but today he is battling health issues that both he and Gretchen, his wife, believe are the physical long-term effects of his service. “People just don’t realize the price that a veteran pays,” said Gretchen. “The only other memorable moment is I met my wife in the service right after I got back from Vietnam, been married 43 years to her. She’s been there for me through it all … I still have nightmares,” he said. Italiano’s service is memorialized on a black granite stone at the Spooner Veterans Memorial at the Waterfront Park on the south side of Spooner. He also received a certificate of appreciation signed by President Richard Nixon. “War hurts. War isn’t free, people pay for it,” said Italiano.

One family’s decades-long battle brings lost WWII serviceman home Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — After over 70 years, the surviving family of Pvt. Arthur “Bud” Kelder will finally be able to lay him to rest next to his parents in Chicago. Bud’s closest living relative is Doug Kelder, a great-nephew, who resides in Shell Lake. Kelder will accept Bud’s remains on Tuesday, May 26, at the Washburn County Veterans Office. In a statement, the Kelder family said that they are, “overjoyed to learn that the U.S. Department of Defense is finally going to return the remains of our missing family member for burial.” Finding and identifying the bodies of U.S. service members is tasked to the Joint Prisoners of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command, or JPAC. About $100 million is spent each year in the search for America’s missing heroes but the military reported identifying only 60 service members in 2013. There are about 83,000 Americans from World War II, Korea and Vietnam that remain missing, half are considered recoverable. Bud’s story begins with his service as a dental assistant at the American Hospital in Manila, in the Philippines, before America entered World War II. When war broke out in 1941, the Japanese attacked Manila where Bud, along with 12,000 American troops, were stationed. In April of 1942, the Americans at Manila surrendered, and Bud, along with thousands of other Americans and Filipinos, began what is now called the Bataan Death March. Bud survived that horrendous march but succumbed to pellagra, a vitamin deficiency, in the Cabanatuan POW camp after four months of imprisonment. A record kept by prisoners of the camp details each death by day. A record from Nov. 19, 1942, states 14 men died, among them was 26-year-old Pvt. Arthur “Bud” H. Kelder, dead at 4:35 p.m. His parents were informed of his death in 1950 through the rediscovery of these records, but by that time physical identification was impossible. Bud’s parents died in 1960 without knowing the fate of Bud’s remains, which were among 10 other unknown remains in a grave at the Manila

Eakin, a Texan, is a veteran himself, having served two tours in Vietnam. Eakin first learned about Bud as a child and upon his father’s death made finding and returning Bud to the family his mission. In his search, Eakin persevered through many roadblocks, discovering that the Cabanatuan death records were never referenced, that JPAC uses DNA only to confirm identities, not as a first step, and other bureaucratic red tape. Three years later, Eakin was done trying to help the government and filed a lawsuit, suing the Department of the Defense in United States District Court in Texas. The suit called for the government to disinter Bud and the other unknowns in the

grave. After surviving many governmental attempts to dismiss, the court ruled in favor of the Kelder family in August of 2014. As a result, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command Central Identification Laboratory identified Bud’s remains from the remains in the Cabanatuan grave. “This exhumation is not because of a forensic and historical review by JPAC. Our family provided the evidence of these identities nearly five years ago and the Department of Defense has consistently denied that these remains were those of the men they now admit that they are. These remains are being exhumed from their graves in the Manila American

Cemetery only because the Department of Defense is required to produce them in a federal court proceeding,” the family said in a statement. On Jan. 22, 2015, Doug Kelder was notified of the positive identification by telephone by William E. Cox, Casualty and Mortuary Affairs Operations Center, U.S. Army Human Resources Command. Now, in about two weeks, Pvt. Arthur “Bud” Kelder will be returned to the arms of his family. The Kelder family has arranged to place Bud in the family crypt in the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago where he grew up.

St. Francis de Sales School spring concert and enrollment updates

SPOONER – The students of St. Francis de Sales School will present their spring musical concert on Wednesday, May 20, at 6:30 p.m., in the church; refreshments will follow in the cafeteria. The concert is lively and varied, with musical pieces from the preschool and elementary students in addition to the middle school band and choir performances, all directed by Janet Medley. The school has also announced that they are still open for enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year. However, there is a waiting list for kindergarten and first and third grades. With the increased student population, the school is seeking to give Principal Kathy Kurkiewicz more time to address administrative duties by planning to hire another part-time teacher to cover some of the classes she has been teaching. A restructuring of two classrooms will take place for the 2015-2016 school year.

The kindergarten and first grade will be combined under Lizabeth Baranczyk, leaving the second grade as a stand-alone classroom with Deb Leckel. It has been researched and decided upon as a better combination considering the students developmental stages. This will afford the second-graders more individual attention, addressing the challenges that students can have transitioning to the third- and fourth-grade classroom. Even with the combined classroom structure that St. Francis de Sales follows, the student-to-teacher ratio remains approximately 10:1. This is accomplished by the extracurricular class time for music, physical education and art, with their respective teachers giving each grade oneon-one teacher time in other subjects.

Letters to the editor Education: An investment in Wisconsin’s future Wisconsin’s world-renowned university system is under attack by an administration that does not value education. In the first budget, $250 million was cut and now $300 million. These dramatic cuts will cut into the marrow of many of the universities programs and services. The most severe cut of all cuts 25 percent of state support from UW-Stevens Point. That is absolutely absurd and draconian. These cuts threaten the future affordability of higher education for the children in our state and therefore will block them from future advancement into the middle class and beyond. It will push the

full cost of education onto students and their families. Consider how the UW System impacts the economy of our state. In 39 different Wisconsin communities where a UW System college or university exists, it is providing good jobs and contributing to local economies. As a whole, the UW System has an impact of $15 billion to the state’s economy. Facts are facts; we need our wonderful university system to move forward economically in our state. Our world-renowned UW-Madison has a connection with 218 companies in that region; it supports 9,300 jobs and has brought over $1 billion in research funds

to Wisconsin. It also holds over 1,600 patents that span every major industry. We will be losing professors at these established institutions, and they will be taking their research grants with them. We cannot afford that! The 13 two-year UW College campuses are likely to suffer the most under these cuts and are located in smaller communities that will be hit even harder by their downsizing. However, they too contribute to the economy of their area. We need to make sure our beloved UW-BarronCounty survives this budget hit. It helps our local students begin their college career at a lower cost; it has helped non-

traditional students, such as myself and others, to complete their education and to achieve a dream. Education is indeed the great equalizer and we need to keep our University System in its entirety. If our legislators value education and value strengthening Wisconsin’s economy, they have the opportunity to change this budget. So do it! “If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security.” — Thomas Jefferson Dee M Taylor Rice Lake

Obama’s legacy I ran across an interesting editorial written by David Feith who is a writer for the Wall Street Journal based in Hong Kong and by Bari Weiss who is a Journal associate books editor. The piece concerns Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who is Iran’s representative in the talks with John Kerry and others to restrict Iran’s nuclear bomb development. Zarif was invited to talk at New York University about statecraft with Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. Strangely there were no progressive students or others of a leftist bent there to

protest the speaking of such a “conservative” man. Outside Greenwich Village Hall, one man, David Keyes, did stage a protest, the theme of which was the “celebration” of an Iranian milestone: the hanging of 1,000 prisoners in the last 18 months. The celebration had red, white and green balloons to match the Iranian flag. Free ice cream was available from a truck adorned with signs that read “free ice cream – free Iran’s political prisoners.” A loudspeaker broadcast a recording from a gay Iranian who had fled Iran. The recording stated, “A lot of my friends

are being arrested, tortured, mocked and terrorized.” I should mention that homosexuality is a hanging offense under the regime Zarif serves. This is the regime that Obama is trusting to keep their end of the nuclear deal he is negotiating with Iran. Mostly Obama is negotiating with himself. As fast as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the dictator of Iran, rejects Obama’s proposals, Obama drops them. As soon as Obama thinks he has an agreement there seems to be a disagreement as to what was agreed to with Khamenei claiming that Obama’s inter-

pretation is wrong. The president then spins the Ayatollah’s rejection as political posturing by Khamenei implying that the Ayatollah really is in concert with him. I wonder why Obama doesn’t want the Congress to have any input into or say in this process. Is Obama concerned about the security of Israel and the United States or about his legacy? If he’s not careful there will be no one around to read about his legacy. The world will have been destroyed in a nuclear fire. James Lewis Shell Lake

Washburn County Area Humane Society’s Par for Pets 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 7, 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 a broasted 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 Sunday, June 7, and join up with other golfers. Preregistration is encouraged and may

be done by calling the golf course at 715635-3580; 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 com-

munity’s animal shelter. This is an all-around, feel-good deal; golfers enjoy the game, winning prizes and 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. - submitted

Linden and Zillmer visit Washington, D.C., as members of UW-Extension delegation WASHINGTON, D.C. — Samantha Linden, youth representative on the Washburn County Board and senior at Northwood High School, and Linda Zillmer, trustee and president-elect of the Village of Birchwood Board, were part of a University of Wisconsin - Extension delegation attending the 2015 Public Issues Leadership Development Conference in Washington, D.C. Linden was one of only two youth representatives selected to attend from Wisconsin. The Public Issues Leadership Development Conference was held April 12-15 across the Potomac River in Arlington, Va. More than 200 representatives from across the nation attended the conference, which featured presentations on topics such as alternative energies, community and food security, and youth and civic engagement. Wisconsin delegates met with their congressperson and senators. Zillmer and Linden met with Rep. Sean Duffy and Sen. Tammy Baldwin. “We told our elected

officials how important federal, state and local partnerships are when resources are so tight at all levels of government. We need funding from all three partners to continue offering important local programs through Cooperative Extension such as the youth on the Washburn County Board initiative and Leadership Washburn County,” Zillmer said. “Meeting with legislators was a great experience for me, as a youth. It was an opportunity that I might never have had, had I not joined the Washburn County Board of Supervisors. Everyone was extremely helpful and willing to talk, teach, and answer any questions. I learned not only about Cooperative Extension on a national scale, but about the many departments and groups that are a part of it, and that rely on it. I found my experience to be exceptionally great, as I met wonderful new people and made connections. I am very honored to have been chosen as a delegate, one of only two youths

nominated and accepted to attend. It was a phenomenal experience, and I am overjoyed to have attended,” stated Linden. Cooperative Extension Dean and Director Rick Klemme also attended the conference. “I am always impressed with the commitment our colleagues, county partners, youth representatives and our Resource Advocacy Network members demonstrate when they take time to inform our congressional delegation about the value of their local extension program. I find that members of Congress and their staff are very attentive to their constituents, especially the youth representatives, as they talk about their experiences with Cooperative Extension.” More information about Cooperative Extension, a division of the University of Wisconsin-Extension is available online at uwex.edu/ces or by calling the local extension office at 715-635-4444. — from UWEX

May is Tavern Month Madison – May is Tavern Month and the members of the Tavern League of Wisconsin encourage Wisconsinites to stop at their local tavern to celebrate. Established in 1953, Tavern Month is celebrated each May coast to coast. Your local tavern offers you the opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones. “Taverns are the social hubs of towns and cities throughout Wisconsin,” says TLW President Terry Harvath. Wisconsin’s on-premise retailers employ 90,000 people

and pay over $1.7 billion in wages with over $4 billion paid in state and federal taxes. Just as important as the economic impact are the charitable donations made by Tavern League members. “We are proud to report donations approaching $15 million to 25,000 Wisconsin charities,” Executive Director Pete Madland states, “and we are proud to have a positive impact on our communities.” While helping to fight drunk driving and combat un-

derage drinking, TLW members offer a place to gather, watch a game or celebrate with family. So take some time during Tavern Month to stop in a Tavern League of Wisconsin member establishment and share in a long-standing Wisconsin tradition. For more information about the Tavern League of Wisconsin visit tlw.org. - submitted

History in a cookbook

hile paging through the cookbook “Recipes: Past and Present,” put out by the members of the Clam Falls Lutheran Church, I was able to travel back in time to remember some of the ladies whose recipes are included in the publication. With the 2014 cookbook, some recipes from books published in 1967 and 1983 were included. Recipe titles from the 1967 cookbook were noted with a cross beside them. Those recipes with a star indicated they were published in the 1983 version. And of course, those without a symbol were new recipes submitted by present members of the church. Names that have been out of circulation for some years are coming back around as parents are using names from generations past to name their new babies. In my new cookbook there are names that I haven’t seen resurfacing as yet. First names such as Olander, Onello, Olga, Bevan and

Alpha are some I haven’t seen recently when reading about new births. A name that may come back soon is Olaf, mainly due to the hit Disney movie, “Frozen.” I like cookbooks that are put together by organizations such as churches. The recipes contained in the pages of these types of cookbooks are usually made with ingredients one would commonly find in kitchen cupboards or pantries. Some recipes in my collection are similar but have different names. The name of a recipe can give a person the desire to try making the item. Some names may prevent a person from making something, too. Case in point for me is the bar recipe called Fat Emma’s Hip Padders. I haven’t made them yet, but I do make the fudge oatmeal bars that are the exact same recipe, just a different name. Mrs. Andrew D. Anderson’s recipe for quick jam in my new cookbook surprised me. Her recipe had a cross next to it; therefore it is an older recipe. It has been many years since Mrs. Andrew D. passed away, but I can still bring up images of her playing the church organ when I was a kid. And yes, she was

known as Mrs. Andrew D. as well as Mrs. Andrew D. Anderson. Her given name was Ruby. But I don’t think I would ever have called her that. Anyway, in addition to the 4 cups of strawberries or raspberries and 5 cups of sugar, then mixing well and putting on the fire to boil for five minutes, you are to add 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts and stir for three minutes after removing from the fire. I have never used a recipe before that called for Epsom salts. Even though as a child a container of Epsom salts was a standard in the kitchen, I didn’t really know what it was used for other than to mix it in a pan with warm water to soak my foot in if I had gotten a bad cut while walking barefoot. Since Epsom salts have many health benefits, perhaps I should try Mrs. Andrew D.’s recipe for quick jam this summer when I am preserving some of those fresh strawberries from local patches. A community cookbook isn’t just a source for recipes, it is also a delicious way to remember people from our past.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner The rebound of the eagle by Mary B. Olsen think it was in the summer of 1958 that I came with my husband and three little children for a visit with relatives here in the northland. I had always loved the green state of Wisconsin, remembering several trips when I was a child growing up in northern Illinois. On this trip my husband and our little boy went with others on a canoe trip down the river that was becoming a wild river. I was among those who went to the boat landing beside this river, gently flowing amidst an arbor of trees. The little group of voyagers came off the river exhilarated, exclaiming how wonderful it was to see a bald eagle flying over the river. A wild eagle! In my early days I had seen a couple of adult bald eagles that were being confined with other birds at a bird sanctuary to recuperate from damage to their wings. Our family was always conscious of the importance of conserving nature, and we believed in caring for the land. My father remembered when he was a child and passenger pigeons flew in great numbers, but were thought to be a danger to crops. People would go to where they roosted at night and knock them down out of the trees and feed their feathered bodies to their pigs. The birds disappeared, and when we went to a museum in Milwaukee we saw a stuffed passenger pigeon, said to be the last one in the world. In the 1950s, the bald eagle was becoming extinct. It was due to DDT, which was used to spray for mosquitoes to fight malaria. These chemicals were not harmful to the adult bald eagle, but it interfered with their intake of calcium, and made the shells of their eggs thin. No little eagles were growing up. There can be no exact count of eagles, but it was considered to be only 412 nesting pairs in the continental United States. Some young fledged in Florida, but elsewhere, the eagles were on the verge of extinction. The Endangered Species Act saved the eagles from going the way of the passenger pigeon. Eagles might have been saved by the abandonment of DDT, but it was most likely the protection of the birds from being shot. They say over 70,000 were shot one year in Alaska, because they believed the birds were a menace to the young of the animals the residents depended upon for their food supply. When they were protected, they

thrived. The eagles were taken off the endangered list July 12, 1995, and put on the threatened species list. On June 28, 2007, the eagles were taken off the list and are considered recovered. There are said to be an estimated 500,000 now. Their numbers have grown here since our family moved here in 1969. At first we might see one soaring high in the blue sky near Rice Lake, where there was open water in the winter. Now we have bald eagles along our roads, perched in lone trees on high, feasting on the deer and other car-accident creatures on roadsides. Someone might say, what is so great about those eagles? They eat dead things. People can’t feel pleased with animals that eat dead things; it’s called carrion. Maybe hawks get more respect, because they kill their prey and wouldn’t be caught dead eating roadkill. Eagles are seen at garbage dumps in Alaska. They might pick up picnic food at national parks and campgrounds. They are scavengers, and Lord knows, we need some of them to clean up our messes. One eagle has been seen killing an adult ewe sheep, and three others joining in devouring the kill. Their usual prey is smaller. They have been known to take small dogs. They eat mostly fish. Fish and more fish and little animals and birds, as well. Sort of a diet like us people but without vegetables. Although this is true, the American bald eagle is both the national bird and the national animal. Ben Franklin thought we should have the turkey as our national bird. He was overruled by the eagle fans. These days you might see wild turkeys along roadsides, as well as eagles. There’s no doubt the eagle is a rare bird, and a raptor. An adult can weight 14 pounds. They have a wingspan of about 80 inches. The adults have a completely white head and white tail, but the young, immature birds have darker-colored feathers on their heads. They have a bright yellow hooked beak and yellow feet with talons designed to kill prey. They can carry a 6-pound fish flying at 30 miles per hour. The female is often 25 percent larger than the male. They mate for life. If one dies, the other will take another mate. It is said that their courtship is wonderful to see. As swift as fighter planes, their loops, chases, somersaults and other aerobatics have been observed and written about. They may lock talons and go into free

fall, rising just short of the ground. The female lays two or three eggs, and their nest may be the largest in the bird world. They build it of heavy boughs and smaller sticks and it may be 3 feet deep. The mated pair takes turns sitting on the eggs, and one usually stays with the hatchlings, while the other hunts for food or adds to the nest. The eagle is a strong flyer and achieves great heights, and they are considered a symbol of power, courage and freedom. They are swift and formidable. No one wants to see that striking force and energy coming swiftly toward them from on high. There are unconfirmed tales of eagles that may be fables, but are believed by many people. One is that the eagle can live to be 100. If he gets to be about 50, he may fly off by himself among mountain crags, and go into a kind of hibernation. He waits some time and then begins to beat his feathers against the rocky cliff side. He will do this until he is bleeding and all his feathers are gone. In some days he will grow fluffy new feathers like a fledgling, and new adult plumage. With renewed vigor, he will fly out and find prey to devour and replenish his strength. In this way he renews his youth with strenuous exercise. He will be young again, having a new birth of freedom and an extended life. There’s another fable, and that is that the parent eagle will carry a fledging on his wings high into the sky, and then twist and drop the baby, and as he falls, feebly trying his little wings, the parent will catch him up again on his wings. He will do this until the young bird can fly by himself. I may not list the eagles right up their with angels, but eagles are in Scripture and in our hymns. One day I saw an eagle from my farm home, and it was eating a deer that had been killed near our field. Five or six crows were tormenting that poor eagle, like a little wolf pack, stealing a bit of food and jumping back away from the eagle’s lunge. It lasted a long time, but, in the end, the eagle was left alone, and carried some of the food away to her nest out among the pine trees. An eagle is determined, and they have my respect. I think Mr. Franklin was wrong. I would vote for the eagle. The turkey is grounded and eagles soar. He might have agreed with me if he had ever been on a modern commercial airliner flying high with the eagles.

Canoe Heritage Day May 23 in Spooner SPOONER – The Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum in Spooner, is getting ready for its sixth-annual summer-season opening event. Canoe Heritage Day will once again be held on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, May 23, from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. “I couldn’t be more excited about our upcoming boat show,” says WCHM President Mike Johnson. “Last year we had canoes bought, sold and swapped. Our exhibitor applications this year include some of the finest canoe builders in the Midwest plus offerings from many talented local builders.” The public is invited to this free event which, in addition to the boat show, will also include live music out front from The Porch Dogs, museum tours and open house in the museum exhibit hall, the unveiling of a new 2015 annual exhibit, and food and beverages available in the beer garden. The canoe and wooden boat show is expected to feature many canoes, boats and canoe-related materials of all types: classic and modern, traditional and contemporary. Over 20 exhibitors are expected to attend, including individuals, commercial entities, nonprofits, authors, government agencies, educators, crafters and businesses whose products or services are relevant to boaters and wooden boats and canoes. Richard Engstrom, of Maplewood, Minn., will be bringing a 16foot cedar strip canoe as well as a 14-foot cedar lapstrake rowboat. Michael Hase, of Wausau, will be displaying a 1939 Old Town double-ended rowboat and a 1939 Old Town guide canoe. Mark Schultz from Bemidji, Minn., will be displaying his own design for a bike trailer with his 14-foot cedar planked canoe, and selling his book that tells you how to build yours. These are just a few examples of some of

the unusual and varied privately crafted items that will be on display. Inside the museum exhibit hall, visitors will have a first-chance viewing of the new 2015 annual display, which will focus on the significant and recently acquired collection of Roger Young’s canoe miniatures. “These models represent both Oceanic and indigenous examples of the global canoe-building tradition in a small scale,” explains WCHM exhibits curator Alan Craig. “This collection has tremendous interpretive opportunity and we’ll be emphasizing the remarkable journeys and open-water celestial navigation that these canoes were paddled on.” And while folks are winding their way through the boat show and the exhibit hall, the celebration out front will continue with live music from The Porch Dogs, local favorites that offer a lively mix of country, rockabilly, honky-tonk, blues, and roots music. Bob Berg and Tim Sears are featured on guitar and Gary Nielsen plays keyboards. You can expect to hear some Haggard, Cash, Yoakam, Jerry Lee, Prine, Jerry Jeff, and many other favorites. Visitors can take a break and relax with some great food and beverages in the beer garden while listening to the music. So proclaimed by the Wisconsin state Legislature back in 2010, Saturday, May 23, will be Canoe Heritage Day. These activities are produced by the WCHM, a 501c3 nonprofit and volunteer-led organization devoted to the preservation and interpretation of the cultural heritage of canoes and canoeing in North America.

SLPD to mobilize for Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement SHELL LAKE — Shell Lake Police Department will join hundreds of law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin for the annual Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement mobilization from May 18-31. “Our officers will be on the lookout day and night for unbuckled motorists. If you’re not wearing a safety belt, we will stop your vehicle and you will get a ticket,” said Chief of Police Dave Wilson “During the Click It or Ticket mobilization and throughout the year, we stringently enforce Wisconsin’s mandatory safety belt law to motivate motorists to buckle up every time they drive or ride in a vehicle. Tragically, too many people are needlessly injured or killed because they believed a crash would never happen to

them so they did not buckle up.” In Wisconsin, approximately one out of five motorists does not buckle up, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “Consistent safety belt use is the most effective protection against being ejected from a vehicle during a crash or thrown around violently inside it and possibly hitting another person in the vehicle with massive force,” Wilson says. “Our officers take safety belt enforcement seriously in an effort to reach the ultimate goal of zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.” — from Shell Lake Police Department

“T

ry it for 30 days. If you are not completely satisfied with the results, return the unused portion and you will receive a complete refund!” “We guarantee that your pain will be gone in 14 days and your joints will become pain free and function with no limitations, or we will refund the cost of the tablets - plus the shipping and handling charges! How can you lose?” Guarantees for anything and everything seem to be very popular. Most advertisers, manufacturers and marketing experts have combined their efforts to sell their products and give us the assurance that they will work - or else. But that’s nothing new. In fact, a king made that claim about his God years ago. David said, “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” He’d been through sickness and survived. He was hunted and escaped. He was emotionally drained and overwhelmed with guilt. He was so sick that his bones were wasting away. He watched as nations rose to prominence and collapsed. He saw armies that were well prepared lose battles. In fact, if we were to make a list of everything in his life that had gone wrong or if we were to compile a catalog of the disasters he faced and overcome in his life, it would be a book that would be very difficult to carry from one place to another. Yet, with no hesitance he said, “God’s good! Try him. You’ll see!”

Veterans walking the Ice Age Trail

Hikers Jenni Heisz and Natalie Koffarnus were greeted by the Shell Lake area veterans after completing their first 71 miles of the Ice Age Trail. After six days on the trail, the hikers enjoyed a dinner at the Lakeview Bar and Grill compliments of area veterans. Shown back row (L to R): Jim Lewis, George Cusick, Bobbi Olson, Renata Cathers, Ernie Cathers, Bernadette Wabrowetz, Bill Frahman, Rodney Olson, Kent Wabrowetz and Sonny Jacobs.

Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Walking is good for the soul. Walking 1,200 miles will go a long way to rebuilding a life after two tours and 14 years in the Army. Jenni Heisz and Natalie Koffarnus are taking the summer off from work and are doing just that – walking. Heisz is a Poynette veteran who served 14 years in the Army, doing two tours to Kuwait and Afghanistan. Koffarnus is a Madison veteran who served 14 years doing two tours in Iraq and Kuwait. While the two have a lot in common, that they met for the first time just one week before they set out on their trek through time on the Ice Age Trail. They started out at St. Croix Falls on Sunday, May 3, and have completed the first 71 miles of their trek. Warrior Hike offers a program called Walk Off the War. “Fourteen years and two tours in the Middle East has prepared me for the hardships on the trail,” Heisz joked during a dinner held Saturday, May 9, at the Lakeview Bar and Grill in Shell Lake. The event allowed the two hikers to meet and greet local veterans. On Sunday morning, May 10, the women were heading back down the trail. They were hoping to make it to Bloomer by Saturday, May 16. At the completion of the hike in

Kristen Kraetke poses with Iraq and Afghanistan veterans Jenni Heisz and Natalie Koffarnus. Kraetke’s brother, Mitch, is now serving in Afghanistan with the 950th. It was an interesting group of veterans and family members of veterans that came to meet and greet the two Ice Age Trail hikers. August, the two plan to go to college. Heisz plans to attend Black Hills College in Spearfish, S.D., while Koffarnus plans to finish a master’s degree in environmental sciences and plans to become a teacher.

Barronett Hi again. I have to thank Sharai Hefty for doing the news last week. She does such a great job. And, yes, I did tell her that she owed me one for the use of our car. You know, Sharai is a published author. She has had quite a few poems published in the University of Wisconsin - Barron County, Red Cedar magazine over the years. Sharai will be graduating from UWBarron County with an associate degree this month. We, her family and friends, are all very proud of her. I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. It seems that Mother’s Day must be the busiest day of the entire year for restaurants. Bistro 63 was filled to capacity for their Mother’s Day brunch. Jeno had all kinds of delightful food to choose from, but the thing that was really wonderful was that he had more freshly baked croissants than he needed, and he sent some home with me. We live right next door, you know, and I didn’t even get them into the house before some of them were gone. I made the mistake of taking a shortcut through the garage where Jerry Marsh and Duane were working on a tractor, and two of them disappeared immediately. They were delicious! Thanks, Jeno. Every year Jim Marsh takes our family to the Rolling Oaks in Barron for Mother’s Day brunch. That restaurant was packed, too. Justin Olson and his crew were very busy keeping the buffet and dessert tables full of delicious things. After we ate, little Wrig, who will be 4 years old soon, and I went outside and built sand castles in the dirt. He is such a busy little guy. He can’t wait for our strawberries to get ripe so he can come over with his tractor and trailer and haul them to the house for us. We just transplanted them this spring, so I think it will be a pretty light load. Curt and Mary Kay Hefty will be in the area until this Friday. Mary Kay spent Mother’s Day at the Cumberland ECU with her mom, MayDeen Farr. They spent Friday night at our house, and on Saturday morning I made my grandma’s recipe for cake donuts just to prove to Curt that it could be done. I sent him the

by Judy Pieper recipe and he said that I must have left out ingredients because they didn’t turn out right. Hmmm. Gary Rahn invited Curt and Mary Kay over to his and Sharai’s new house on Saturday night for a cookout featuring venison steak. Curt said that they were delicious. Anyway, if you would like to visit with Curt and Mary Kay before they head back to Alaska, give them a call. Mary Kay spends most of her Wisconsin time at the ECU with her mom, but Curt seems to like scurrying around to visit with all his friends. Cheryl Jaastad and her daughter, Emily, were at Barronett Lutheran on Sunday morning. To say we were all happy to see Cheryl would be the biggest understatement of the year. She still seems a little frail, but she is steadily recovering. That woman could give the unsinkable Molly Brown a few lessons. We all love you Cheryl, and we’re so happy you’re back. Gloria Gunderson brought in beautiful little flowers for all the moms on Sunday morning. They were donated by Gloria’s sister, Peg Thompson, and came from the Thompson greenhouse. Gloria has been helping Peg at the greenhouse quite a bit, and she had a pretty funny experience there this past week. A delivery truck came in with lots of trays of plants to be carried into the greenhouse. Gloria was helping carry the trays, and just as the truck driver complimented them by saying, “You women are really efficient,” she dropped the whole tray she was carrying. Bad timing! Anyway, we moms all want to thank Peg for the beautiful little plants. They will be a lovely addition to the hanging baskets all over town. We had a visitor at Barronett Lutheran from just north of Fort Worth, Texas, this past Sunday morning. Tom Schultz, Ruth’s son, traveled up visit for the week. It was so nice meeting him, and we hope he comes back soon. Illa Theese, Ann Egstad, Mary Waite and Joy Ritchie went to the “Untalent Show” at the Ceska Opera House in Haugen last Friday evening. Illa said that they had a great girls’ night out and that the performers were definitely not “un-

talented.” There were lots of musicians, mostly accordion players, and the skits put on between the music sets were hilarious. They are already looking forward to their next girls’ night out, and I hope to join them for that. Lynn, Suzy and I did have a fantastic vacation in Myrtle Beach, S.C. We stopped by to visit Lynn’s friend and her husband, Stella and Glenn, at Tazwell, Va., on the way down and on the way back home. They are wonderful hosts. They made us feel immediately at home. Tazwell is in the mountains, and Stella drove us all over the place showing us the beautiful scenery. We left their place and got to Myrtle Beach on Thursday. Stella and Glenn joined us there on Friday, and we walked on the beach, collected seashells, walked the boardwalk, shopped, went out on the pier, rode the 200-foot-high SkyWheel, and took lots of pictures. On Saturday we went to the Carolina Comedy Club to see Dwight York perform. He is a very funny man. He mentioned to the crowd that his friend, Lynn, came all the way to Virginia to see his performance for her birthday, which was April 30, by the way. And, when he told one joke that was a little off color, he said “sorry, Judy.” I’m 72, for heaven’s sake. I’ve probably heard just about everything by now, but it was pretty funny anyway. You know, Dwight is from over by Clear Lake, and he does perform here on occasion. If you get the opportunity to take in one of his shows, I’m pretty sure you will enjoy it. When he wasn’t performing, Dwight came and spent the days on the beach with us. We had a lot of fun visiting with him. Glenn had to leave Myrtle Beach on Sunday morning, and Stella stayed and rode home with us later that day. When we got to their home, Glenn had a delicious supper prepared for us. I called Duane and told him what a wonderful man Glenn was, and his comment was “I hate guys like that.” He was kidding, of course. We spent the night at Glenn and Stella’s, and before we left the next day Stella

insisted on taking us to lunch at a place called Big (and then there is a picture of a donkey) Burrito. What a great way to end a wonderful visit. The people working at Big (---) Burrito were so friendly, the burritos were delicious, and, they really were huge. I don’t think any of us ate more than half of our order. Tazwell is a little out of the way, but if you happen to be in that area I would highly recommend a visit to Big (---) Burrito. Vacations are great – but we were all pretty happy to get home again, too. I was really glad that we got home in time to go to the card-making party at Leanne Richhoff’s house on Thursday. Actually, I was trying to figure out a way to avoid going because I am so totally untalented, but I had a great time. Leanne does greeting cards that are made with scrapbooking-type material, and she showed us how to cut designs, stamp, paste and make lovely cards. Leanne sells her cards at the 20 Mile Store, and she has all the machinery needed to make things look very professionally done. I made one card for my cousin Sue’s birthday, and one for a wedding shower for Allie Pherson. I am looking forward to the next party. Members of Barronett Lutheran will be selling brats from Louie’s brat house this Friday and Saturday. If you would like a delicious brat or hot dog, and some friendly conversation, be sure to stop by. Oh, one other thing, Sharai would like to apologize to the three young people who were helping out at Thompson’s greenhouse last weekend. She forgot to add their names when she was telling about the greenhouse opening for the summer. They were Erika and Caitlynn Yawn and Ethan Thompson. Peg said they all did a great job. Sharai knows from personal experience that Erika did because she was the one who waited on Sharai, and Sharai was very pleased with the service. I guess that’s about it from Barronett this week. Hug your family. See you next time.

Area news at a glance PRAIRIE DU SAC — Over 160 Culver’s restaurants across the country will participate in a fundraiser for their local Honor Flight on Tuesday, May 19. Participating restaurants in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina and Wisconsin will donate 10 percent of their sales to the Honor Flight program on that day. “We’re happy for the opportunity to support the Honor Flight program and we hope our guests will be too,” says Craig Culver, co-founder of the restaurant chain. “Men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our freedom are true heroes,” added Culver. Honor Flight is a nonprofit group

created to honor America’s veterans by transporting them to Washington, D.C., to visit their war memorials. The Honor Flight network gives top priority to senior veterans such as World War II survivors and those terminally ill who fought in later conflicts. “This is an opportunity for us to give back to those who served for all of us,” adds Culver. “For many veterans time is running out to say thanks. We hope our guests will come to participating Culver’s restaurants to enjoy great food while supporting a wonderful cause.” Cost of one Honor Flight can range from $45,000 to $75,000 per trip. Since 2004, Honor Flight has honored more than

100,000 veterans to thank them for their service to our country. — from Culver’s ••• MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Division of Motor Vehicles recently implemented a new live chat service for seven of its popular online services. “We wanted to offer customers using our online self-service offerings another tool to get their questions answered fast.

Sarona

by Marian Furchtenicht

It was so nice to get a nice slow, badly needed rain over Sunday night. Farmers have been finishing up planting corn and now are working on soybeans in the beautiful weather we are having. Rose-breasted grosbeaks and orioles are here and two sets of baby goslings showed up by my pond on May 7. Haven’t got a head count yet though. There is peace in focusing on the small things in life. So stop and smell the trilliums. There’s lots of them, and lilacs and apple trees are in bloom. The mosquitoes are starting, it’s been peaceful without them. A bit of news for last week. The Getaway Bar held their annual Kentucky Derby party, mint juleps and good food and fun last Saturday night. Many neighbors got together to enjoy and watch the race. Sandi Vogt joined the Spooner Garden Club ladies in the spring cleanup of the community gardens. Sandi was assigned to the crew working at the veterans cemetery. Cindy Furchtenicht had gallbladder surgery last week so she’s recovering from that and doing OK. So hope she’s all better now. Marilyn Zimmerman’s family got together for a cookout Sunday at her sister, Linda Stodola’s, to celebrate Mother’s Day. Gathering for Mother’s Day brunch at Mark and Julie Sauer’s were Paul and Cathy Hagen with son Geof, John and Linda Sauer, Drew Sauer with Lacy Espeseth, Carla and Rick Townsends and Ben and Amy Reiter with their new baby, Caleb. Several of the group had camped at the Pioneer Farm site during the weekend. Afterward several of the group went to Northern Star Theatre in Rice Lake to watch Brandon Brown perform. The Frey kids brought food on Mother’s Day evening and had supper together at Anton and Gloria Frey’s. All of the family was there. Sympathy to the Richter family in the recent death of Herbert Richter, 85, Rice Lake. Among the survivors are his sister, Cathy Wahlstrom, Spooner, and daughter Barb

Dewey-LaFollette Gerry and Donna Hines came home Tuesday from visiting relatives in the Twin Cities for several days. They visited Barry and Sue Hines and family, and Brenda and Tim Sweet and family. Donna also spent an afternoon with Nick and Esther Mangelsen. Clam River Tuesday Club met at the Lakeview Church on May 6. Pam Bentz was the hostess. Each member brought a baby picture of herself. A game was played to identify the pictures. Judy Leonard guessed all eight correctly. Karen and Hank Mangelsen visited Dirk and Sandy Benzer on Thursday afternoon. Lida Nordquist came home Thursday after having surgery Monday in the Twin Cities. She is wished a speedy

Dewey Country Brr! It was cold on Sunday. Yes, our weather is changing, as I don’t remember having this type of weather when I was growing up. But our weather is certainly changing and not for the better. In South Dakota they had snow, and in Texas. And how about all those tornadoes they have in Texas and Oklahoma? Yes, aren’t you glad we live where we don’t have so many tornadoes, only once in a blue moon? It’s a very happy birthday to Richy Lawrence when he turns another year older on May 15. Have a great one Richy. Also a happy birthday to Lenore Swan on May 15. Enjoy your day Lenore. May 16, a very happy birthday to Dan Schaefer as he enjoys this special day with many more to come. May 17, a very happy birthday to Phil Scheau, Andrea Hartwig and Jonathon Mortensen as they enjoy that special day with many more to come. A very happy birthday to Liam Charles Russell on May 19 when Liam turns 4 years old. Also to Vonnie Mogenson and to Angie Stellrecht. Have a great one. A very happy birthday to Jeremy Monson and Stacey Leach on May 21. Enjoy your special day. A very happy anniversary to Chad and Colleen Jensen on May 21 as they enjoy 21 years together with many more to come. A very happy anniversary to Lolly and Nina Hines as they celebrate 61 years together on May 22. Have a wonderful day. A very happy birthday to Melba Denotter, Paul Cornelison and to Emily Parker, all on May 22. Have a great day. Last Monday I saw the silos come down at the farm. Yes, Richy told us he had no need for the silos and would put his silage in piles, so down they went. All I could think of was how much money we put into those silos. But times are changing like our weather. As I look out it’s kind of bare in our yard now. He hooked onto the silos and pulled them down with the tractor. I didn’t think for a time that he would get the poured silo down, as it took him a long time before it came down. I see my apple trees are blooming. The blossoms smell

Olson, Sarona. When we built the house at the farm back in 1957, Herbert poured the walls and floor for it. He was a great guy. Bonnie Helmer needs your thoughts and prayers. She became ill a week ago Monday and had her neighbor, Donna Anderson, take her to the emergency room in Shell Lake. She was sent to Rice Lake for tests. Friday she was sent to Sacred Heart in Eau Claire where as of Monday morning they were doing tests for stroke symptoms. Her son, Jim, and wife came Monday to be with her. I visited her Thursday. She was happy to have Mary Semms Doanes as one of her nurses. My sister, Verna Clyde, Inver Grover Heights, Minn., has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, along with a stomach aneurism. She needs our prayers along with my youngest sister, Sharon Wilber, Webster, who has health problems that are diabetes related. For my 83rd birthday and Mom’s Day gift from daughters Cindy and Mary, we went to Fox River Grove, Ill., to Cindy’s, stayed overnight and left Friday morning, going up through Michigan. Had a horse-and-buggy tour around Holland, Mich., where the Tulip Fest was starting. We saw the tulip gardens; then on to Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Mich. Quite a place, about 40 acres, store is 1-1/2 football fields of Christmas décor, lit up all year. We then went on to Niagara Falls, stayed on the 15th floor of the Sheridan, great view of the falls and lights. We had a boat ride, Ferris wheel ride, Aero Car ride and went up to the observation tower, took in the butterfly conservatory on the Canada side. Went to the U.S. side and saw more of the falls, drove through New York, Ohio and Indiana, where we stopped in Mishawka and visited my cousin’s wife, Eileen Correll, at the nursing home. She’s doing well and was happy to see us. So after 2,000 miles and a week of making great memories of sightseeing, back to my dog Lucky, and Nell cat and my own bed! A very memorable trip with my girls. Cindy Furchtenicht and I attended funeral services for

her aunt, Irene Juza, 89, Rice Lake, held Friday at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rice Lake, with her son, Father Philip Juza, and Father James Powers officiating. It was a beautiful funeral. They served a big noon lunch afterward. Cindy’s dad, Paul Jachim, is a brother. Sympathy to the family. Saturday afternoon it was a beautiful bridal shower for bride-to-be in August, Ashley Anderson, held at the Barronett Community Center and hosted by Jackie Ullrich and Sara Mathinson. The place was all decorated so beautiful, a great lunch and the bride received lots of useful gifts. Mom’s Day at my house, son Roger came and mowed the rest of my yard. Then in the afternoon brought their twin granddaughters, Autumn and Alexis, over. Grandson Duane Swanson and fiancee Casey, Menomonie, came up also. Son Russ stopped in as did neighbors Al and Jolene. I went to daughter Mary Marschall’s in the evening, so I had a great day. Happy birthday wishes this week go out to Dorothy Esser, Jed Johnz, Joey Swan and Becky Robertson on May 14; Lenora Swan, Teri Mancl, Dale Marker and Joanne Paulson, May 15; Peg Pockat, Lynda Sauer, Cindy Bohn and Jeannine Sandau, May 16; Andrea Hartwig, Mary Lou Hoecherl, Robin Berndt, Mike Campbell and Dexie Dunham, May 17; Amanda Leckel, Madison Glaze and Yvette Lee, May 18; Brenda Pederson, Vonnie Mogenson, Casey Furchtenicht and Mitzie Paulson, May 19; and Ann Schlapper Pestorious, May 20.

Remember, the Relay for Life rummage sale starts on Thursday at 9 a.m., again Friday and Saturday, at the Sarona Town Hall.

by Karen Mangelsen recovery. Hank and Karen Mangelsen called on Lawrence and Nina Hines on Saturday morning. Lida Nordquist, Nina and Donna Hines, Donna’s daughter Brenda Sweet and her daughters, Kristie, Nikki and Jessie, Karen Mangelsen and April Close went to Timberland Lutheran Church Saturday evening for the spring women’s salad supper. A program of music and testimony was provided by Beth Crosby, granddaughter of Lorraine and Glen Crosby. Grace Mangelsen was a guest Sunday at the home of Karen and Hank Mangelsen. Nolan Michel and Kiara Marie Johnson received the sacrament of holy baptism at Lakeview UM Church Sun-

day morning. Their parents are Nick and Annick Johnson and grandmother is Connie Quam. Mark and Sue Hines, and Edgar and Dianne Rodriguez and family visited Donna and Gerry Hines on Sunday to wish Donna a happy Mother’s Day. Sunday visitors of Lida Nordquist were Jim, Jan, Caleb and Hannah Schott, and Joleen and Richard Funk. They celebrated Mother’s Day by bringing lunch for everyone and helping Lida with some of her spring work. A number of relatives and friends attended the open house for Connie Quam at Lakeview UM Church Sunday afternoon. The party celebrated Connie’s birthday and her retirement from working at the village offices in Shell Lake.

by Pauline Lawrence so good. Saturday found Penny Ladd and daughter Reyna coming to see me. They brought me a flower to plant. That little 7-year-old Reyna saw all those dandelions in my yard and went out to pick a bunch. She brought them in and we put them in water. I saw that they closed up overnight so I called Penny and told her to tell Reyna the dandelions went to sleep. Penny tells us that Rem was in wrestling and a kid just threw Rem and he hit his head. So they didn’t go to Madison for the wrestling match. She says Rem is OK. Some of these bumps the kids get come back to haunt them, like the football players. It’s been 10 years since we lost our house to fire. Yes, we put up a prebuilt home and it’s nice and I like it as much as I liked the built house. The Country Lane Pantry is opening June 18 for their veggie market. They are open now if you want other items. I love the pectin they have. It comes in a powder form and is sold by the pound. Mark Knoop tells us there haven’t been any boats on Bashaw Lake this year since it opened up. Mark and Noel and children, Brian and Alycia took Marv and Gladys out for dinner to celebrate Mother’s Day. Of course there’s Noel who is a mom so she gets a treat also. Coming for dinner at Jim and Sandy Atkinson’s were Jim Atkinson, Lisa and Marjorie, and Kristen Carls and family. Pattie Beaufeaux was up on Saturday, bringing her mom Mother’s Day wishes. I mowed my lawn last Monday for the first time this season. It looked like it really needed it again. So that was my job on Monday. At Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s for the weekend was their daughter, Robin, from the Twin Cities. While Robin was up she mowed her folks lawn. On Sunday, Evelyn had phone calls from their children. Peggy Vesta and Don Lane came over and played cards. Vicki Trott had company and planned to stop over. Saturday night, Allen Melton was over to his folks and wished his mom a happy Mother’s Day. I see corn is up on some of Richy’s fields. I imagine those few days of hotter weather were just enough to get

it started. With it so cold on Sunday, that corn will have to cover those little ears. Jerry and Gretchen Best were at her brother, Mitch’s, cabin near Luck. A lot of relatives gathered for potluck. Talking with Betty Meister we find that neither Beth and her family or Bev and her family came home. Beth and Mark were helping someone move and Bev planned to come Monday. Betty was looking for Sonny and his son, Kevin, to come. Butch VanSelus tells us his wife left him. Yes, Loretta was taken to Tomah where she caught a train and went to Mosee, Ill., to see the Rudy Fischers. Her little grandson, Edmund, had a birthday and she wanted to spend some time with Edmund and the family. So Butch is batching it. He says it’s not too hard when he has TV dinners and he’s gotten quite good at cooking as he had to cook when Loretta had surgery awhile back. Marjean had an accident recently and had to have surgery on her shoulder so she’s off work for now. Butch tells us he’s been planting his garden. Diane Hulleman came home from New Richmond on Saturday. On Sunday Jack and Ginny Schnell came and brought supper for all. Nancy and her honey brought lunch for all of them. A wonderful Mother’s Day gift as Diane didn’t have to cook. Scatter sunshine. Have a great week.

Heart Lake

by Helen V. Pederson

Well, we finally got rain. I heard one crack of thunder during the night but the electricity didn’t go off so it couldn’t have been too long. I feel sorry for the people in the south with all the tornadoes; loss of life and longstanding trees down. We don’t have it too bad. Sunday night, Mavis Flach said all her kids and grandkids were coming over for a cookout for Mother’s Day. Lillian Ullom was treated to dinner out on Sunday with Donna and Norman Ness. Arlys Santiago is spending some time with her sister, Avis, in Verndale. They are going to go to Albuquerque soon for the wedding of Avis’ grandson, son of Mark Paulson.
