Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Washburn County’s administrative coordinator, Mike Keefe, has confirmed that he has given the county his 60-day notice. Keefe’s resignation comes nearly two months after the Washburn County Board approved a resolution changing the administrative structure of the county. The resolution, which passed on a 13-to-8 vote, separates the office of county administrator from finance director, eliminates the position of human resources and combines that position with administrative coordinator.
According to county committee meeting minutes, the county is reviewing job descriptions for those positions, the pay plan salary numbers for the positions and hiring an outside recruitment company. Keefe has been an employee of Washburn County for 16 years; of those past nine years, he has been the administrative coordinator. Keefe’s last day in that position is Nov. 6.

Larry Samson | Staff writer SPOONER — The Burch Barn Pumpkin Patch, Spooner, has opened for the season providing safe fun for the whole family. Dan and Becky Burch have turned their small farm over to their three children, Jerad, Jace and Emma, for their pumpkin project. Several years ago their grandfather got them into pumpkins. They raised them in the summer and sold them in the fall. This year they developed an amusement park as a way to attract more people to the pumpkin patch. They added a large corn maze, grain train ride and a 100-foot slide. There is also a shorter slide for the younger children, two bouncy castles and a large corn pit where the children can play for hours and their parents can watch in the shade. Dan said that his children would come up with an idea and he would make it happen. The children, along with their cousins, spend hours trying out each
Fall fun for all
activity so they would know that it was fun and safe. A small petting zoo with potbelly pigs and a miniature horse is one of the biggest attractions. There is a mechanical cow so the grandparents can show their grandchildren how to milk a cow. Ten-year-old Emma loves baking and is planning her Baby Cake Bake Sale for Saturday, Oct. 3, with funds going to the Kids Cancer Fund, Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis, Minn. Pumpkin bars, cakes and cookies are her specialty. The Burch Barn will be open on Fridays from 1 p.m. to dusk, on Saturday from 10 a.m. to dusk and on Sundays from 11 a.m. to dusk. They will be open from now until Halloween. The children are planning a special Halloween program but are keeping the details secret. Burch Barn is located at N5921 CTH K. For more information see burchbarn.com or call 715-635-7787.
Torbin Fox and his mother, Leslie, have a race to the bottom of the 100-foot slide.
The Burch Barn Pumpkin Patch is a family project designed for family fun. Jace, Emma and Jerad Burch run the amusement park with the help of their parents, Dan and Becky Burch. Their grandfather got them started in planting and selling pumpkins. With the amusement park, they sold more pumpkins on the opening weekend than they did all last year.
Malakai and his father, Matt Stone, enjoyed the trip down the children’s slide.

HWY. 53/CTH intersection being reconfigured CTH B closure expected through mid-October SPOONER — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has started work to reconfigure the Hwy. 53/CTH B intersection into a median U-turn design. The new design redirects left-turn and crossing traffic to make a U-turn on Hwy. 53. Instead of a direct crossing or left turn, drivers from CTH B will be restricted to making a right turn and then a U-turn. Drivers on Hwy. 53 wanting to turn left will pass the intersection before making a U-turn. Through traffic on Hwy. 53 and all right turns will not change. Median U-turns are a modified version of a J-turn intersection. Before and
after crash studies of J-turns have shown significant crash reductions. The median U-turn concept for this intersection is supported by the Washburn County Traffic Safety Commission, including the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department and the Washburn County Highway Department. The project will require new concrete pavement on Hwy. 53 and CTH B. CTH B will be closed for the majority of the construction and detoured using Hwy. 253, Hwy. 70 and CTH M. — from WisDOT

Residents express concerns over road changes in Springbrook Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPRINGBROOK — Concerns from residents and business owners in the Town of Springbrook, impacted by changes to the Hwy. 63 state Department of Transportation construction plan, were heard by Springbrook Town Board members at their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Sept 8. “We had a driveway that was really close to a town road intersection, it really wasn’t in a safe situation,” said Dan Anderson, Department of Transportation access engineer. Anderson and Marc Bowker, project manager, attended the Town of Springbrook Board meeting to review changes to the upcoming Hwy. 63 project with the town board, residents and business owners in attendance. “When we have projects like this we look at the safety at each intersection, each driveway, and we typically notify property owners of the plan,” said Anderson. Anderson and Bowker explained that in the interests of safety the DOT wants the town to close access to Trepania Road located on the north end of town, next to Gram’s Taxidermy in the Town of Springbrook. Trepania Road makes a U-shape on the northwest side of town, with an access on the north and south ends of the town.
The north-end highway access of Trepania Road lies directly on the property line of Gram’s Taxidermy shop, which causes issues with motorists using Trepania Road to enter Hwy. 63 and those using the taxidermy shop driveway access. “We’ve found, and our statistics show, that the less accesses the safer the highway is,” said Anderson. According to WisDOT, proper managing of highway access can extend the life of a highway, increase public safety, reduce traffic congestion, and improve the appearance and quality of the built environment. Most of the public comments were regarding individuals’ specific properties. A lot of the questions raised were about issues neither Anderson or Bowker said they could answer, with any guaranteed outcome, but they did their best to address them. About six residents could be impacted by the road closure.

Mayor vetoes council vote on squad car use Motion to overturn veto dies for lack of second Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE - A veto by Sally Peterson, Shell Lake mayor, now takes precedence over the Shell Lake City Council’s Aug. 10 decision to allow the city police chief to use a city squad car between the city and his personal residence. “This is something that has not been followed in the past that I can recall,” said Ken Schultz, council chair, during the council’s regular monthly meeting on Monday, Sept. 14. Andy Eiche, Shell Lake City adminis-
trator, read Mayor Peterson’s veto to the council wherein she stated her reason for the veto as, “I do not feel it is in the city’s best interest.” The mayor submitted her veto to Eiche on Tuesday, Aug. 11, the day after the city council voted to allow the city police chief to use a city squad car between the city and his personal residence. Eiche explained that the council had the opportunity to overturn the veto with a motion and second. Tara Burns, Ward Two alderperson, made the initial motion. Eiche called three times for a second but none was made and the motion failed.

Letters to the editor Filibuster is vote for Ayatollah According to a Quinnipac poll, 25 percent of U.S. citizens think the nuclear deal with Iran should be approved. That leaves 75 percent of citizens opposed to the deal or unsure. In fact, among independent voters, 59 percent are opposed to the deal with 52 percent of women opposed. Fifty-six percent said the deal would make the world less safe. Support for the deal is less than 30 percent in every age category. Recently the Congress passed almost unanimously, and President Obama signed into law a bipartisan bill that required the president to obtain 51 votes
in the Senate to approve the agreement. Now Senate Democrats, under the leadership of Harry Reid, are planning to defy the law by filibustering the vote on the Iran deal and thereby allow the deal to go forward without congressional approval. The lawlessness of the Obama administration and the Senate Democrats is shocking, especially when involving a matter that is so critical to the security of the United States. Joe Lieberman, former Democratic senator from Connecticut, states that in the 24 years he was in the Senate he voted on many treaties but
none of these treaties had the level of serious national security consequences as this present deal. The fact that these Senate Democrats are prioritizing not embarrassing the president over national security speaks volumes about why they shouldn’t be senators. I applaud the four Democratic senators, Chuck Schumer, Bob Menendez, Joe Manchin and Ben Cardin, who have stated they would vote against the deal. In any case a vote should take place. The citizens have a right to know where their senators stand. To filibuster this proposal
and not allow a vote is the coward’s way out. As far as I am concerned, a vote for a filibuster is a vote for the Ayatollah and against the United States and gives the voter the opportunity to not own up to what he/she has done. I hope the people of the U.S. are smart enough to realize this and that the consequences for those who vote for a nonvote or who vote to pass the deal would be to lose their jobs.

Area news at a glance BARRON — A Cumberland man originally accused in the hit-and-run that left a Barronett man critically injured last December has pleaded guilty to a lesser felony. Dustin L. Daniels, 34, pleaded guilty in Barron County Circuit Court to recklessly causing great bodily harm to John Schmidt, 64, Barronett. The charge was amended from a charge of hit-and-run involving great bodily harm. Daniels also pleaded guilty to one count of bail jump-
ing. Four more counts were dismissed but will be considered at sentencing Tuesday, Oct. 27. Schmidt was getting into his pickup truck in front of the Barronett Bar & Grill on Dec. 19 at about 7:45 p.m. when he was hit by an SUV driven by Daniels, who left the scene. A large amount of debris from the defendant’s vehicle was left at the scene. The following day, authorities got a tip that Daniels had been involved in the incident. They went to
Daniels residence where they found the SUV that was damaged, consistent with the debris at the scene of the incident. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype ••• RICE LAKE — A major retail chain held a grand-opening ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new store in Rice Lake on Monday, Sept. 14. The Oklahoma-based company, Hobby Lobby, an arts-and-crafts store, is in the process of hiring 30 to 50 workers.
Wages are $15.24 per hour for full-time and $10.16 per hour for part-time associates. Hobby Lobby began as Greco, a miniature picture frames company in 1970. When David Green moved his business from the family’s garage to a 300-squarefoot retail space in 1972, Hobby Lobby was founded. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype
Washburn County accident report Friday, Aug. 28 At approximately 2:31 a.m., Robert Cruse, 71, Sauk City, was northbound on Hwy. 53, just north of Lakeside Road in the Town of Minong, when he hit a deer. Cruse was not injured but the 2007 Dodge Caravan he was driving had to be towed from the accident scene. At approximately 11:14 p.m., Lawrence Stress, 75, Hayward, was northbound on Hwy. 63 just north of 30th Avenue in the Town of Barronett when he hit a deer. The 2010 Chevy Silverado truck Stress was driving sustained minor damage to the front and front passenger side. Saturday, Aug. 29 At approximately 9:06 a.m., Catherine Weis, 49, Oregon, Wis., was westbound on Hwy. 70 just west of 5th Street in the Town of Crystal when she hit a deer. The 2010 Chrysler Town and Country van Weis was driving was towed from the scene. At approximately 5:20 p.m., Washburn County Sheriff’s Deputy Daniel Botty responded to a property owner’s report of a vehicle that had veered off of Hwy.
253 in the Town of Beaverbrook, driven through two sections of fence on private property and left the scene. A license plate registered to John Gozdzialski Jr., 36, Castle Rock, Colo., for a blackcolored Toyota Highlander was found at the scene. Botty made contact with Gozdzialski at his parents’ residence in the Town of Spooner where the same vehicle was found with severe damage that had occurred recently. Gozdzialski denied causing the property damage and stated he had swerved to miss a deer, which he had called in earlier. In the accident report Botty notes that the extent of damage to Gozdzialski’s vehicle could not have been sustained by hitting just one deer. Gozdzialski was arrested for obstructing an officer and criminal damage to property. A breath test performed later came back as 0.0. Gozdzialski was issued citations for giving a false police report, inattentive driving and failure to report an accident. Gozdzialski faces up to $777 in fines and allegedly caused an estimated $1,400 in property damage.
Monday, Aug. 31 At approximately 12:49 p.m., Steven Burt, 53, Eau Claire, was driving on Hwy. 63 near the Town of Springbrook when a mattress and box spring bounced out of the back of the 1998 Ford Ranger driven by Thomas Millar, 59, Menomonee, that was driving in front of him. The items hit the 2014 Chevy Silverado truck Burt was driving. No one was injured in the accident but Burt’s truck sustained minor damage. Wednesday, Sept. 2 At approximately 4:23 p.m., Steven Clepper, 29, Spooner, was northbound on Hwy. 63 following the on-ramp to Hwy. 55, in the Town of Spooner, when his 2001 Chevy SUV left the roadway and went into the ditch. Clepper attempted to drive through the ditch to the roadway but became stuck. Clepper was not injured and his vehicle was not damaged, it only needed to be towed out. A records check revealed that Clepper did not have a valid driver’s license and had two warrants from St. Croix County that were nonextraditable, meaning he could
only be arrested for those offenses in that county. Clepper was cited for operating without a valid driver’s license. Tuesday, Sept. 4 At approximately 12:58 a.m., Susan Compton, 45, Superior, was northbound on Hwy. 53 in the Town of Beaverbrook when she hit a bear. Compton was not injured but the 2005 Chrysler was towed. Friday, Sept. 7 At approximately 10 a.m., Richard Liver, 71, Trego, was southbound on Hwy. 53 just north of Mackey Road in the Town of Trego when he attempted to turn right into a business. Liver made the maneuver quickly because of heavy traffic but this caused Daniel Watters, 50, Scandia, Minn., to change lanes in order to avoid hitting him. In the process of changing lanes, Watters struck Liver’s vehicle on the driver’s side with the 2000 Ford F350 he was driving. Neither driver was injured, but both vehicles sustained very minor damage. — Danielle Danford with information from the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office
Washburn County highway committee works to keep commissioner Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER — The Washburn County highway and dam committee made a surprising motion during a meeting held on Thursday, Sept. 10. The committee met to accept the resignation of Jon Johnson as the Washburn County highway commissioner, but it had other plans. Johnson recently submitted a letter
of resignation to the county after being made an offer for a position in Eau Claire. What discussion did occur was about the importance of the department maintaining the proper function of the county and the benefits the county has experienced since Johnson became commissioner. “We need to maintain the positive stuff that has happened ... we’ve moved our
road projects ahead three years to what we could have done,” said Greg Krantz, District 13 county board member and highway committee chair. The committee decided to not accept Johnson’s resignation and made a counteroffer instead. The county’s personnel committee planned to meet Friday, Sept. 11, where it would make a decision on the counterof-
fer made to Johnson by the highway and dam committee. “I have been given an opportunity to better myself and my family and that is my only reason for leaving,” wrote Johnson in his resignation letter. He also stated he enjoyed the challenges over the last six years in the position as Washburn County’s highway commissioner..

Lewis, Howard Hansen and George Reigel were on hand to give penny-apound airplane rides at the Shell Lake Municipal Airport. There was a $1 minimum.
1975 – 40 Years Ago
• A large barn, full of hay, burned completely on the Peter Viltz farm, seven miles west of Shell Lake. All of Viltz’s cows were in the barn when the fire started, but he managed to get them out. After the fire the cows were housed at the Art Swan farm. • Wilhelm Toftness, 90, well-known retired Shell Lake area farmer and the founder of the Red Barn Campground, passed away. • House Calls was the name chosen by the Shell Lake Indianhead Memorial Auxiliary when they invited everyone to visit five homes in Shell Lake. The homes belonged to Darrell Baily, Phil Soltis, Walter Hoar, W.W. Bitney and Charles Foley. • At a prenuptial party, Ken Pederson and Sue Fritzsch received gifts and well wishes from relatives and friends of all ages. A hilarious mock wedding involving a bunch of local pranksters was performed to the merriment of all on the deck of Pat Spafford Smith’s residence in Burgs Park, which would be home to the young couple after their wedding in La Cross.
1985 – 30 Years Ago
• Shell Lake firefighters responded to a fire at the Harlan Johnson residence on Sixth Avenue in Shell Lake. • Youngsters in the Excella 4-H, with leaders Charlotte Furchtenicht and Claudette Harrington, planted a garden at Terraceview Living Center in the spring and were now reaping the fruits of the harvest. Both vegetables and flowers were planted for the residents to enjoy. • A dispute over site preparation work for the new Tiptown Supper Club in Shell Lake was expected to be settled. District Attorney Jeffrey Kohler hoped to meet with owner D.B. Reinhart, Reinhart’s attorney, W.W. Bitney, and a Department of Natural Resources representative to attempt to obtain any necessary permits so work could proceed. DNR officials who said permits had not been obtained had put a hold on filling for the supper club project on Burgs Park Drive. • The Shell Lake Lions Club made a complete renovation of the shelter house. They polished the copper hood of the fire-
place and would also replace bricks and do door and window repairs. Funds for the project came from the Lions Club and the Jones Foundation.
1995 – 20 Years Ago
• Larry Abrams, administrator of the Indianhead Medical Center, presented Patti Naglosky, president of Indianhead Community Health Care Inc., with a check for $1,137.64 to be used by the group’s scholarship fund. The funds were raised at IMC’s golf outing. Abrams said he was pleased to make the donation, considering all that ICHC had done for the local hospital over the years. • The Rummels girls horseshoe team went out to eat at Trego Junction. Those attending were Mavis and Bob Schlapper, Joyce Wade, Jan Roth, Linda Christianson, Diane and Frank Kubista, Mick Rummel, Dawn Quinton and Johnnie and Marian Furchtenicht. • The Shell Lake High School boys cross-country team came home with the championship trophy at the Cameron Invitational. • The Classic Cafe in Shell Lake was offering 50 cents off any menu item for senior citizens on Thursdays.
2005 – 10 Years Ago
• Shell Lake firefighters were on the scene of a tree fire following a lightning strike at the intersection of CTH B and O just before 1 a.m. when they noticed a glow in the sky. “I sent a couple of firefighters over there to investigate,” said Fire Chief Dave Schraufnagel. When the firefighters arrived, they found the Swiss Chalet restaurant fully engulfed in flames and the roof had already crashed into the building. • Caleb and Sarah Melton, Sawyer Creek Road, Shell Lake, had damage to their garage in a storm that passed through the area. The manure spreaders on the farm of Danny and Janet Ullom were lifted over a fence and a corncrib lost its top when the strong winds passed through the Town of Bashaw. • Shell Lake Lion members Phil Soltis and Bill Taubman went to Gulf Port, Miss., to bring hurricane relief supplies to that area after they were struck by a hurricane. • New staff at Shell Lake Schools were Kim Waak, Peter Hopke, Sara Bradley, Jody Sampson, Eric Teska, Kimberly Shoberg, David Frandsen and Dan Swenson.

Read Me … Read Me Not “The Husband’s Secret” Published by Penguin Group in 2013 Reviewed by Jeri Bitney, Shell Lake
C
ecilia Fitzpatrick is searching for something in her attic when she runs across an envelope from her husband, obviously written years ago, and on the front a mysterious and worry-inducing note that it is to be opened only upon his death. Thus begins a novel that on its surface seems to start out slowly, but in fact is expertly laying the groundwork for the stories which follow. I say “stories,” because the author stitches the lives of three families together in such a way that we begin to see not only what is occurring now, but what happened years ago and also what could have been, all because of one act. Yet, not all is what we think it is, which, as readers, we find out at the end but which the characters of the novel never will. Cecilia is married to JohnPaul, and they have three daughters. Tess is married to Will, they have a young son, and they own a business with her cousin, Felic-
ity. Rachel has a son Rob, who has a son with his wife, Lauren. Rachel’s husband died many years ago, their daughter Janie was murdered when she was 17, and Rachel is very certain she knows who killed their daughter. Rachel’s certainty colors her view of the world and how she lives, and affects those around her. Cecilia’s discovery of the envelope and her reaction to it starts a chain of events which, although taking place over just a few days, will have long-lasting and in one instance disastrous results. The stories are tied together very neatly, and after spending a day reading this (and not being able to put it down), I know that my thoughts will return to it time and time again. The statement “No man is an island, entire of itself ...” from a poem of the same name by John Donne, sprung to mind after I finished. It illustrates the interweaving of events over time and how omissions or inclusions of what can seem to be minor things to one person will often have a ripple effect upon others. It is important to be mindful of this, and after reading this book you might be too.

Paddleboat experience
O
ur recent Labor Day weekend provided good weather for those that wished to take advantage of outdoor activities. As the summer was waning, Milt and I had not yet taken up an offer to spend some time at my sister, Konnie, and brother-in-law Bill’s cabin in northern Minnesota. So we decided to make the trip to Nevis, Minn., over the holiday weekend. After I had written in this column about my aunt Pat’s waterskiing photo for Life magazine, I received an email encouraging me to take up waterskiing. The writer actually suggested both Konnie and I have our picture taken while we skied on water. Konnie and I did not try to water-ski during the Labor Day weekend. Instead, we took a paddleboat ride. Since the cabin where Konnie and Bill are is on an environmental lake, the natural habitat is not disturbed. As the summer progresses, the shoreline of the lake changes with the wild rice growing taller before harvest. To get from the dock out to the main lake there is a small channel of water to pass through. Konnie and I ventured out on the paddleboat while Milt and Bill were up in “crappie alley” with the fishing boat. I remember asking Konnie if I should wear my sandals, tennis shoes, or if it would be OK to wear flip-flops. It was decided flip-flops would be OK for footwear. With a towel the seats were cleaned, and our water bottles were put in the beverage holders along with a can of bug spray. We had life jackets nearby … not on … but within reach. As we headed out of the channel, the pedaling seemed a bit hard. After we drifted into the wild rice, Konnie maneuvered the boat back and forth
to get some of the weeds off the pontoons in the front. The rudder still was pulling a mass of weeds so Konnie said she should reach over and try to remove them. I commented that my arms were longer and I could do it. As I leaned over and stretched out to grasp the weeds, I heard Konnie say, “Sue! Sue!” As I turned and looked over toward Konnie, I could see the back of her head just inches above the water before I felt myself under water. Realizing that we had flipped the paddleboat over, one of my first thoughts was, “Don’t release the air through your nose yet in case you are under the boat.” Normally before surfacing from being underwater I blow the air out through my nose so I don’t get water up my nose and in my ears. As my head came to the surface of the water, I could see Konnie had also come up and was able to keep her glasses on her face. I managed to keep one flip-flop on my foot. Now what? Here we were out in the lake with a capsized paddleboat and our lifejackets hung up under the boat. Since we are both swimmers, we didn’t panic but held onto the bottom side of the paddleboat. Two guys in a pontoon happened to see our performance and told us to hang on; they were on their way. The next dilemma Konnie and I faced was how to gracefully get onto the pontoon that did not have a ladder. The door on the side of the pontoon was opened and the two guys seemed prepared to reach down and pull us from the water. I was first. As I thought I was safely onboard, I started to lift myself up, lost my balance and once again was underwater. As the guys were lifting Konnie out of the water, pulling her by the arms and yanking on her belt loops, I swam to the front of the boat to see if I could climb up the pontoons to the deck. I
haven’t done this type of a climb since I was in my 20s. Due to the trolling motor being in the way, I decided to let the guys lift me once again out of the water. As the pontoon pulled our upside-down paddleboat back to shore, one of the guys commented that as he watched us flip the paddleboat, we seemed to act quite calm. He said, “If it would have been me, I would have been screaming like a girl!” Getting back to the dock, the next phase of our adventure was how to get the paddleboat to its correct position. Naturally, Konnie and I figured it wasn’t our problem but rather Bill and Milt’s. At this point they didn’t know anything had happened. As our husbands arrived back to the shore, they did wonder why the paddleboat was in front of the dock, lying in the water, upside down. I observed from the cabin window, five men standing on the dock. I believe they each had a different opinion on how to return the paddleboat to an upright position. Bill commented that there was water in the tanks of the paddleboat before we set out on our ride. The water rushing to the back of the tanks explained why the paddleboat flipped over when I got near the back of the boat. Once the paddleboat was flipped to the proper side up, there were our water bottles, my other flip-flop, one of Konnie’s flip-flops, the bug spray and our life jackets. So all that was lost on that expedition was a flip-flop and a towel. A few days later, Bill’s cousin, Susan, found Konnie’s other flip-flop. Rather than have a photo of us water-skiing, perhaps Konnie can mount her flip-flops on her cabin wall with a plaque that says, “I survived the paddleboat flipping show of 2015.”

Voices of our past in cartoons
A
t the end of the radio program the voice of curiosity asked, “Who was that masked man?” and you heard the galloping hoof beats of the Lone Ranger’s horse, Silver. Many of the announcers voices were familiar to us children of the 1930s. The various sounds of radio sound-effects men made the programs and the stories very real. Sound had already come to the movies and color would soon follow. It was in the early cartoons we watched at the movie theater that we heard the characters voices and many of us who listened then can still remember each voice that went with the cartoon figure. Who can forget Bugs Bunny? And his chomping on a carrot? And Elmer Fudd? The most prominent voice artist of those years was the “The Man of a Thousand Voices,” Mel Blanc. It’s hard to believe Tweety Bird and Yosemite Sam came from the same man. We all remember Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse, but there was another cartoon character, that crazy “wabbit,” Bugs Bunny, who shared stardom in the world of cartoons flowing from Hollywood. It was that renowned vocal magician, Mel Blanc, who spoke for “Looney Tunes” and “Merry Melodies” as Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd as well as Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Sylvester the Cat. He was Barney Rubble, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales and Wile E. Coyote as well. This vocal genius was born in San Francisco in 1908. The family moved, and by the time he graduated from high school they were living in Portland, Ore. He was, from the start, gifted at music. He was the youngest orchestra conductor ever known at the age of 17. He was already doing vaudeville
routines. He began working in radio in Portland. By the time he married Estelle, in 1933, they were producing their own radio show weeknights from 11 to midnight. He went to Hollywood and “The Joe Penner Show.” He soon found his way to CBS Radio, and “The Jack Benny Program” where he stayed until it folded in 1955. Each week radio audiences tuned in to hear Jack Benny and his humorous show with many continuing characters. You would hear Benny arriving in his Maxwell automobile. The car was Blanc’s interpretation of a car with a not-so perfect engine and lots of backfires. The sound of the car was recorded, but one time the record failed, and Blanc stepped up to the microphone and did the sound live, and afterward it was always done live. Blanc was the sound-effects man and was the voice of many characters on “Jack Benny” over the years. He did Polly the Parrot, and called out the places and the “All Aboard!” of the train conductor. With Benny, timing was all-important. The same with Mel Blanc. Mel did this character, Sy, the Little Mexican, who had a routine, saying, “Si, Sy, Sew, Sue,” and that little skit brought laughter time after time. Maybe it would be considered politically incorrect now, but in those days, people could laugh at each other. Nobody laughs anymore. Blanc managed to get his name mentioned as the voices in the cartoons, something new to the business. After his exclusive contract with Warner Brothers ended he worked with Hanna-Barbera, and did other independent work. Many admirers say he was respected and was the most prolific voice artist in the
industry. He was at the height of his popularity when he was involved in a near-fatal accident on Jan. 24, 1961, on Sunset Boulevard. The young man who hit his car had minor bruises, but Blanc suffered serious injuries. He had both legs broken and a broken pelvis and head injuries. Mel was rushed to the hospital where he lay in a coma for two weeks. Everyone was concerned because of his brain injuries. When he awoke and his doctor spoke to him, he answered, “Eh? What’s up, Doc?” and everyone knew he was himself again. The next weeks were extremely difficult for him. He was in a full body cast. In the movie business, the show must go on. They brought recording equipment to his hospital room and he did his voices there and this continued later during his slow and painful recovery at his home. Mel and his wife had a son, Noel. He did some voice work but that was not his chosen career. Mel and Estelle’s marriage lasted until he died, in 1989. He was 81 years old. Mel wrote a book, with Philip Bashe, called “That’s Not All Folks!” in 1988. The Hollywood Walk of Fame has a star for Bugs Bunny and a star for Mel Blanc. There are other stars for cartoon characters: Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog and Shrek. Cartoons were our childhood friends. We had the Bugs and Porky images on our lunch boxes and on toys and clothes. We often imitated Blanc’s sound effects and did imitations of the cartoon voices. Many of us could stutter the phrase used at the end of each cartoon along with Porky Pig, “That’s All, Folks!” This is carved on Mel Blanc’s headstone where he is buried.

USDA commodity loans available to Washburn/Burnett County producers SPOONER — U.S. Department of Agriculture, Wisconsin Farm Service Agency, County Executive Director Evie Moore reminds producers that USDA offers interim financing at harvest time to help producers meet cash flow needs without having to sell commodities when market prices are at harvest-time lows. The programs, known as Marketing Assistance Loans and Loan Deficiency Payments, were authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill for the 2014-2018 crop years. “These are among the many tools offered by Farm Service Agency to help farmers navigate price and market conditions, so as we approach the harvest sea-
son, we encourage producers to consider these programs as a helpful option,” said Moore. A producer who is eligible to obtain a marketing loan, but agrees to forgo the loan, may obtain a loan deficiency payment if such a payment is available. The programs provide financing and marketing assistance for wheat, feed grains, soybeans and other oilseeds, pulse crops, rice, peanuts, cotton, wool and honey. For eligibility, producers must control the commodity or a title to the commodity until the loan is repaid. FSA is now accepting applications for all eligible commodities. For expedited
service, interested producers are encouraged to schedule an appointment. Other program restrictions may apply, including limits on total payments or gross income thresholds. Consult your local FSA office for further details. For more information, visit fsa.usda.gov/pricesupport. To find your local USDA Service Center, go to offices.usda.gov. MALs and LDPs were reauthorized by the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has made significant prog-
ress 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.

Faith Lutheran Church’s preschool celebrates 30 years Danielle Danford | Staff writer SPOONER — Autumn doesn’t officially start until Wednesday, Sept. 23, but fall is in the air. Leaves litter lawns and students are back in school. For some students, this fall presents their first educational experience and at Faith Lutheran Church Preschool there is more to celebrate. “With being here 30 years and our enrollment going up all the time, we want to share that with the community and all of our past, present and future students,” said Cheryl Gozdzialski. Gozdzialski is a woman with many roles at the Faith Lutheran Church Preschool in Spooner. Gozdzialski is simultaneously a teacher, administrator and director for the preschool that held its first classes in September of 1984. “We’re celebrating our 30th year, actually it was the end of our 30th year in May so we’re going into our 31st year,” said Gozdzialski. The over-100-year-old Faith Lutheran Church, founded in 1913, is looking forward to celebrating their preschool’s 30th anniversary on Sunday, Sept. 20. The celebration includes a 10:30 a.m. church service and an 11:45 a.m. preschool alumni photo. “And then we’re going to have lunch after and our education committee put together all different kinds of stations, face painting, games, animal balloons, just fun games for the kids to enjoy,” Gozdzialski said. The celebration is open to all in the community from alumni and future students and their families to interested community members. The Faith Lutheran Preschool offers education to children who are 3 to 5 by Sept. 1 in two classes. Three-year-olds attend sessions on Tuesday and Thursday while 4- and 5-year-olds attend sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. “The preschool started with two classes and had a total of 22 students,” she said. Today the preschool has expanded to four classes with an average of 50 students. The Faith Lutheran Church Preschool formed after the church appointed a task force to determine the need for a faith-based preschool in the area. The task force consisted of several local individuals including Max Berndt, Bev Bruce, Bruce Buchman, Chuck Jockish, Judy Kemph and Donna Seitz. Together they formed the foundational

goal of the church’s preschool: to provide a quality Christian education to the children of Faith Lutheran Church and their community. This year the school has hired two additional teachers, Erin Burch and Meghan Nickell, who are both coteaching with Gozdzialski and Jeanne Graber as a preschool aide. Gozdzialski explained that all the school’s staff are licensed teachers and that the school received interest about co-teaching for this year. They thought they’d try it and it has been working out well for both the students and teachers. “We are definitely a hands-on program and want it to be a positive experience for our children, being that it is their first experience,” said Gozdzialski. The school prides itself on the variety of program offerings including music, zoo-phonics, field trips, visitor speakers, baking, academics and technology. To meet the growing educational demands

the school expanded, physically, to make room for a computer lab and art room. The teachers and students are also enjoying the benefits of a Smart Board, a digital interactive whiteboard that uses touch detection. “Our church, our congregation is incredible in how they support this program, they so believe in this program and they just give us continuous support,” she said. To meet the needs of all
in their community the church offers scholarships to help families with tuition costs. Gozdzialski said the church has never turned a family away and they also offer before- and after-school child care. “We really try to accommodate families … we want to make it possible for all children to be able to come,” said Gozdzialski.

A classic Shell Lake boat
Bob Cooks and Eugene Notz stand proudly in front of Notz’s rare Shell Lake boat. The boat, trailer and motor are all from the early ‘60s. The two were visiting the Shell Lake Historical Society to see if they had any info on the boat and to tour the Shell Lake boat collection.
The nose of the Tempest was also brought over from the automotive industry. The Tempest looked fast and drove fast, like a sports car.
The Tempest sported fins, brought over from the automobiles of the time that had fins. The smooth, sleek line made for a beautiful boat.
The Shell Lake Tempest was a 15-foot runabout that was built between 1962 and 1963. The Tempest sold new for $1,295. “Mounted with a 95-horse Mercury motor, it was a fun boat,” said Cy Atkinson, the designer of the Tempest.

Scores were 11-25, 13-25 and 11-25 in the final game. “Varsity went into our match with Chetek knowing that we would need to work hard,” coach Melissa Smith said after the game.

Smith said, “As a young team we will continue to work on refining our skills and working as a team.” On Saturday, Sept. 12, Spooner traveled to Ashland for a tournament. Five varsity players were gone so Spooner pulled up JV players to fill those positions. “As coaches we asked JV players to step up and they did.

“M
other,” cried Sally as she climbed into bed, “you forgot my soul!” “What do you mean, Sweetheart?” asked her mom. “I don’t understand.” “Well, when we said our prayers you didn’t say, ‘I pray the Lord my soul to keep.’ What if God forgets about my soul tonight? What will happen?” It is difficult to watch television, listen to the radio, or read a paper or magazine without the ever-present emphasis to lose weight, get in shape, have cosmetic surgery or try a new shampoo. We are constantly challenged to nourish our bodies more carefully, strengthen our muscles to become healthier or do something to look more appealing. Certainly God expects us to care for our bodies. He created us in his image and gave us the breath of life. But too often we are encouraged to care for our bodies at the expense of caring for our souls. David longed desperately for God’s presence in his life. He compared his longing to that of a thirsty deer panting for water. “My soul,” he cried, “thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” The Psalmist’s soul thirsts in himself and only the living God can satisfy him in the same way that streams of water will satisfy a thirsty deer. God places in each of us a thirst that cannot be quenched by the waters of the world. As appealing as they are, fame and fortune, power and prestige, wealth and well-being can never satisfy the thirst that God has placed within us. Only “those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be satisfied,” said Jesus.

Sarona Wow, September is half over already! First day of autumn is coming up on Sept. 23. There’s been some cooler days. I had to turn the heat on last Friday for the first time this fall. I see stores have their Halloween stuff out, too. Bear hunting started on Wednesday. The Marker boys got a huge one at Rocky Furchtenicht’s. It was around 450 pounds I heard. The archery and crossbow deer season started on Saturday. I don’t know where the geese are, haven’t heard nor seen any lately, Spooner has taken on a different look, with the old Open Kitchen taken down and now the Dairy Queen being torn down this week. Lots of memories of those places. My Johnnie always loved those banana splits and chocolate malts. The Frey family camped at their campground on Little Ripley over Labor Day, Thursday night through Monday. Gloria’s brother, Billy Foltz, joined them during the day. Elfreda West’s grandson Tory’s wife, Rachel Wagner and girls Abbie, Shannon and Kate, visited her one day while up from Florida where they are stationed in the Air Force. They visited when they were here visiting his mother, Ellen, in Cameron. Nancy Swanson reports the Lions fish fry on Friday, Sept. 4, fed nearly 500 people. They were thrilled with the turnout. Gary Carofe, who has a place on Little Ripley, ate at White Pines in Shell Lake on Saturday night and by the time he got home he had seen 13 deer along the fields and roadsides. Hopefully that means a good hunting season this year. Got an email from classmates Jerry and Betty Ness in Texas. They say they will be here for our 65th class reunion to be held at Tracks on Saturday. They will be stay-
ing at the Inn Town Motel in Spooner. Elaine Ryan and Sherri Holmes, coworkers, went out to lunch on Thursday and enjoyed a nice visit together. Mavis Schlapper’s daughter Pam, and Pam’s husband, Allan Cernocky, Elk Mound, came up one day and took back garden stuff to preserve. Mary Mancl visited Mavis one day. Casey Furchtenicht went back to Northland College last Tuesday for his third year of school. Put former Sarona resident Lyle Seever Jr. on your prayer list. He fell off a roof on Friday and had broken ribs and a punctured lung and has undergone two surgeries. He lives near Tomahawk. His brother, Chris, went to be with him at the hospital. Sunday, a generation reunion, families of the Spexets and Ingbretsons, was held at Marie Burkett’s home with a good turnout. The now-elders attending included Avis Thorp, Audrey Spexet, Jean Gilz, Shirley Stellrecht, Glen Spexet, Elfreda West and myself. Lots of visiting and great food. Thanks to Marie for getting this all together. Ellen Wagner, Cameron, came up and took her mom, Elfreda, to the event. I was down for several days with the sore throat and fever that was going around and spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the hospital. Thanks for the good care there in Shell Lake. Kids sure are nice to have, too. My Mary came and took me in to the doctor.
Birth
Philip and Bethany Pederson announced the birth of their children on July 5, 2015. Landon Jacob, 3 pounds, 14 ounces and Nora Grace, 6 pounds, were
Dewey Country The sun is shining across Lakeview Church Road. And yes, it’s shining on something beautiful and yellowish. What am I talking about? Well, it’s Duane Johnson’s soybeans that are getting ripe. And looking across the field, it looks so pretty. And the corn has certainly dried down in the past few weeks. Yes, it’s dried down from the bottom up including the leaves. Those very hot and humid days did something wonderful! Yes, they ripened the corn. And to top everything off, it is fall.

School has started in Cameron. That lucky little 7-year-old Reyana Ladd gets to go to the new school that Cameron has built. The school is for 4-year-olds through fourth grade. Reyana likes her school days very much. Friday, I attended the funeral for Cecil Melton. It was a huge funeral. Cecil passed away at his home. He made his own box, with it being varnished, and it had some writing on the inside cover that he did himself. All Cecil’s relatives were there including six children, eight grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren, and eight great-great-grandchildren. Cecil and Evelyn farmed for 17 years in Dewey Country. After 17 years, they sold the farm to Sunshine and myself. They built a beautiful home on Bakker Road in Dewey Country. Later they built another beautiful home in the Town of Bashaw. Their children are Homer, Vicki, Richard, Peggy, Allan and Robin. Cecil and Evelyn were very special to Sunshine and myself. They both were very hard workers and enjoyed life. Our deepest sympathy to the family. Know you are in our special thoughts and prayers. Labor Day weekend found Jim and Sandy Atkinson at their daughter, Kristen, and Scott Carl’s for a cookout. Also there were Scott’s family and a number of friends. This Sunday found Lisa and Dan Otto and son Charlie at the Atkinsons’ helping get wood up. Marjorie Otto has now started college for the third year. She plans to graduate in December in journalism and math communications. Good for you, Marjorie. Butch and Loretta VanSelus attended Virgil Peterson’s funeral. Butch is a brother-in-law to Virgil. Butch has one other brother-in-law, Otto Lawson, of Iowa. Sympathy to the family. Butch and Loretta are going through some tough times. Their son, Harold Stone, 57, was in Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire and has since moved to a nursing home. He has heart trouble. Loretta and Butch have been going down every day to see Harold and they are both very tired at this time. Harold’s siblings, Marjean and Rudy Fisher, Mark and Shelly Stone, have been to see him, too. Paula and John Powell, Montana, haven’t come at this time. Matthew Stone and his family live in Rice
Lake and have been down to see Harold. Butch says his garden is about done for the year. He says he picks about 2 quarts of raspberries every other day. Please keep the Stone family and the VanSelus family in your special thoughts and prayers. Have you been out to Smith’s Poquette Apple Orchard? Several varieties of apples and Lynn’s baked goods are available. Every time I go over, Lynn is busy baking up another patch of those yummy pastries. Get out and enjoy the country and get some delicious apples. Diane Hulleman tells us her grandson, Chris Perlt, is very busy at his job. He worked 19 hours on Saturday. He is a welder on a pipeline. Great for you, Chris. Talking with Myrna Atkinson, she tells us she’s been busy cleaning out their garden. She also is quilting a quilt for her daughter-in-law, Sandy. It has bears on it and is very beautiful. Sandy wants it for her brother. Myrna tells us the Badgers played the RedHawks and it wasn’t a good game. The Badgers beat the RedHawks 58-0. The Packers played the Bears on Sunday. Ron Atkinson picked up his dad, Curt, and took him to an auction by Frederic on Sunday. The Lakeview Methodist Church will have their fall festival on Oct. 4. There will be lots of games and food, plus horse and buggy rides along with a cakewalk. Come and enjoy. I found out who brought me those delicious veggies. It was Butch VanSelus. Those tomatoes look so good in the jars and so do the other veggies that I froze. Thanks to Butch and Loretta. It was most appreciated. Over the Labor Day weekend, Janie and Rick Lauterbauch and children, Noah, Ellianna and Grace, camped by Rice Lake. The family really enjoys camping out. They bought their own camper and they make use of it. Ellianna is going to Shell Lake Schools and enjoys it so much. Good for you, Ellianna. The Jerry Bests went camping. They went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for a week. While in Michigan, Kevin and Jessy Best and children Kaleb and Ava came and introduced the grandparents to little Ava. Gretchen tells us her garden is about done for another season. Aug. 30, the Bests went to Lillian Strege’s in Luck,
joining a number of relatives for an afternoon of visiting. Beth and Mark Hansen and children Ryan and Alyssa, and Bev and Jarrett Cassellious and son Erik were up at Carl Meister’s over Labor Day weekend. The guys are waiting for the bagger to come so they can chop their corn in bags. Marv Knoop tells us Mark is going to start chopping corn this week. Another sign of fall. A week ago Saturday, Diane Hulleman attended a birthday party for 5-year-old Jameson Depoister at his home. Sunday, Diane met her daughter, Nancy Murray, in Spooner and the two ladies enjoyed going to Hayward and all the shops they have there. Those two pups I have certainly aren’t the boss anymore around here. Razz just made it known she won’t put up with any dogs and that’s that. The dogs, especially Rory, chase her and all of a sudden she stops and lies on her back and claws and she is just a-playing. Rory gets playing with her and tries to bite her and she does the same to him. It’s really cute. Rambo doesn’t seen to want anything to do with the cat and he can be sitting on my lap and if the cat comes up, he’s off my lap just like that. I think the cat has adjusted to my home now as she comes and sits and lies on my lap, which makes Rambo disgusted. Kind of jealous, right? Thursday, Diane Hulleman went with the LVM for lunch and Friday had lunch with the parish nurses in Spooner. Lisa Mangelsen tells us her son, Derek, and his wife and son came Sept. 6 to her house in Dewey Country. Sept. 11 they left for their home in Texas. Her daughter, Lacey, and her honey came while Derek and family were here and stayed with Lisa. They were going back to Philadelphia on Sept. 12. It was a great time for the whole family. While here the family enjoyed a visit with Maynard and Ronda Mangelsen. Lisa says while the family was here they also enjoyed a trip to Copper Falls. They had supper out for Lacey’s birthday, which was Sept. 9. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

Stone Lake
by Mary Nilssen
It’s hard to believe we are already into fall and the 37thannual Cranberry Festival is only weeks away! What a beautiful day Sunday, Sept. 13, was. The cemetery walk at Evergreen Cemetery was held from 1 to 3 p.m. and even the Bears and Packers couldn’t keep everyone away. Close to 100 people came out to enjoy the music, refreshments, historic stories about some of the pioneers, and a great chance to visit with old friends. Thanks to everyone who comes out and supports your historical society as they plan the community events. If you are passing through the covered bridge in downtown Stone Lake, look for the poster describing the buckthorn eradication field day to be held on Oct. 8 in the Wetland Park. Experts will come to the Wetland Park that day and demonstrate to folks how to use the spray method of killing buckthorn, and will let you try your hand at it so that you see how easy it is, and how simple it will be for you to return to your property and get rid of this terrible invasive plant. You may not know, but this tiny plant, if left unchecked, will grow to be a nasty tree, producing thousands of berries that will help it reproduce over and over until the land itself is good for nothing but buckthorn. Great studies have been made in our park already, thanks to two years of hard work by several people, led by Craig Baldridge who has become a self-taught expert himself. More posters will soon be up in town so everyone who wants to come will have the details. The Lakes Community Co-op has hired a new manager/ supervisor, and her name is Charity Thew. The co-op will be having cake on Friday, Sept. 18, to thank Nicole and Judy and staff for their leadership in the interim and to welcome Charity. Please stop by and join them in welcoming and thanking these co-op staff members. The Stone Lake Community Wetland Park wants to remind everyone to set aside a few hours on Sunday, Sept. 27, from 1-3 p.m. to come to the picnic in the park. Refreshments will be served and tour guides will be available to take folks for a walk in the park to explain what is happening, especially regarding the buckthorn project. So, bring Mom, Dad,
Barronett
Grandma, Grandpa and kids. As far as we know, there is no football game starting at noon that day. Has anyone discovered the new picnic table now located in the gazebo at the Wetland Park? Now you can sit there with your picnic, view the beautiful lake and count the cars as the trains roll by. It is quite an experience and a beautiful time of year to enjoy it. The new 2015 Cemetery Walk book is now available and can be purchased at the museum or by emailing tncmcdffliaol.com. A few copies of the two previous books from 2012 and 2013 are still available. There was a great turnout at the docent appreciation evening and the surprise of the evening was the antique railway express baggage cart that Jeff Dejewski purchased and Tom McDonnell restored in time to be delivered to the museum that evening. What a great addition to our railroad history, Jeff. Thank you so much. The Stone Lake Area Historical Society is pleased to announce the publication of a new book, “Finding the Pioneers and Places in Early Stone Lake.” The book includes a walking tour of the village of Stone Lake in 1912, a walking tour of the business community before 1926, and interesting Stone Lake landmarks. Several driving tours include finding the pioneers around the actual Stone Lake, a tour of the earliest resorts around Sand Lake and Flat Lake (Big Sissabagama), a tour of pioneer homes and landmarks down to Hauer and north on Hwy. 27 and another driving/hiking tour down CTH BB. The major portion of the book is based on the 1915 and 1919 plat maps for Sawyer and Washburn counties. Over 120 Stone Lake pioneer family homesteads have been located on these maps. Now you will have an opportunity to find the original homesteads of your Stone Lake families. The Stone Lake area is filled with interesting people and places, many of which have been included in this publication. The new book will be available for purchase soon. If you would like more information or would like to reserve a book, please call Connie at 715-865-4940. Saturday, Oct. 3, the Stone Lake Cranberry Festival will be

Colorfest is here! Yahoo! It starts off Friday evening, that’s Sept. 18, with a spaghetti supper at 5 p.m. at Barronett Community Center. That evening there will also be hayrides, a cakewalk for the little ones, and meat raffles. On Saturday, we start with the fun run/walk. This year there will also be a hike on the Ice Age Trail. The women of Barronett Lutheran will be hosting the pie-and-ice-cream social, as usual. There’s the men’s slow-pitch softball tournament all weekend. Farmers market and craft fair. Beanbag tournament. Dairyland garden tractor pull. The Barronett brick scavenger hunt. Carnival games for the kids. And, music by Rachel Hanson and the Rain. OK, that all takes place on Saturday. Then on Sunday we start out with Barronett Lutheran’s community church service, which is held at the community center. Following the church service there will be fresh cinnamon rolls and a time for fellowship. We certainly hope you can join us for both the service and the fellowship. We will be singing all the old familiar hymns, and it will be a perfect time to get to know us a little better. Oh, and after that, the women of Barronett Lutheran will be serving pie and ice cream until the end of the day. Of course, the softball tournament will be going on, too. That lasts almost all weekend. It’s great – come on over and cheer on your favorite team. The kiddie parade starts at 11:30 a.m. Last year was very nice, we must have had over 20 little ones in wagons, on bikes, driving little tractors, or just marching. This year we are hoping to have even more entrants. We do have a few more children in Barronett now, and maybe they will all decide to be in the parade this year. It doesn’t matter how many are in the parade, it’s always one of the highlights of the weekend. And, we have something new this year, a baked potato bar starting at 11:30 a.m. and running until 2 p.m. And, of course we will have flower and produce judging, so bring in your most beautiful potatoes, onions, carrots, etc. There will be a kids pedal tractor pull and more kids games and activities in the backyard. And, for the kids, there will be a bouncy house all weekend. The Barronett’s Best Cooking contest entries need to be at the community center by 1 p.m. on Sunday. This year the featured ingredient is carrots. Remember, when you bring your entry in, bring the recipe, too. And, the contest is limited to one entry per person. Good luck. Hopefully we’ll get lots and lots of entries again this year. There will be a wine and cheese tasting event starting at 2 p.m. That is usually set up outside on the north side of the community center. It’s wonderful. Of course there will be Bingo, keg toss contests, the Barronett Brick Bounce contest, more hayrides, and, at the very end of the day after the softball tournament is done the raffle prizes will be awarded. Oh, and one other thing new this year is a dunk tank. That will be going on during the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. I don’t know who is volunteering to sit in the dunking seat, but it won’t be me! I will have fun trying to dunk someone else though. There is something for everyone, so come on over, bring the family and friends, and plan to have lots of fun. I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. Our entire family (almost) went camping north of Hayward. The big event of our camping weekend, besides eating and laughing at silly family stories, is the volleyball tournament on Sunday. This year Team Marsh beat Team Lehmann. I’m not allowed
having a baking contest at the Stone Lake Fire Hall. Entries must be there by 11 a.m. and you can start dropping off entries at 10 a.m. They must be checked in to be entered into the contest. Judging will begin at 11 a.m. and prizes will be awarded right after the contest ends. First Lutheran Church of Stone Lake is sponsoring their annual pie-and-ice-cream social, baked goods and handmade quilt sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in conjunction with the Cranberry Festival. The baked goods and quilts will be on display and for sale in the sanctuary with the pie and ice cream being served in the basement fellowship hall. Each quilt is unique and there are various sizes to choose from. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go to area organizations. The Hayward Senior Resource Center will present a showing of “Advanced Style” on Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Park Theater in Hayward. The documentary will celebrate the beauty of women 60-plus, who will prove that getting older does not mean that you can’t have fun, be vibrant, laugh out loud or strut your stuff. The “Advanced Style” movie screening and some special surprises will be held at the Park Center in Hayward at 1 p.m. followed by a reception at the Hayward Veterans Center. Tickets are available at the Hayward Senior Resource Center or the Stone Lake Senior Center. Free computer and tablet help will be available every Monday at the Stone Lake Senior Center from 10 a.m. to noon. This same help will be available at the Sawyer County Senior Resource Center every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon. Please feel free to attend one or both each week. Have a wonderful week and be safe!

Please submit your resume to:
to play with them. They somehow found out that I’m a lousy volleyball player. I have more fun spending time watching the game and playing with the little great-grandchildren. Sue Meier came up from Monroe to go to Hayward with us. She’s always a welcome addition to our family fun and the kids insist she come because she brings a chocolate cake and an almond cake. The way to our hearts is definitely through our stomachs. This year she also made sticky buns for breakfast one morning. Yum. Illa Theese, Ann Egstad, and Sheri and Cindy Snowbank were among the crowd of people who attended the Fall Variety Show at Cheska Opera House in Haugen last Friday evening. Illa said that the acts were great, and that they had a wonderful girls night out. There was a little controversy about Ann catching necklaces thrown by an Elvis impersonator, and about a little contest she got in with another woman who wanted a necklace (all in good fun) but I guess you’ll have to ask Ann about that. I’m certainly not the kind of person who would ever report something that I don’t have all the facts for. I just hint around and make people wonder instead. And, speaking of that, I really messed up last week when I told you about Jay and Marcia Olson and family coming up for Justin and Kasey’s wedding. I don’t know who told me that Jay, Marcia and Pat went to Stillwater, but they didn’t. Pat was so busy helping with the wedding. I don’t know how she would have been able to do anything else. And, Jessica and Andrew were with Jay and Marcia, but they had left the little ones, Cedar, Aspen and Olson, with family in Missouri. Sorry about that, guys. Next time I’ll try to get things right. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope to see you at the Colorfest. Have a wonderful week.

New Forward Exam provider selected MADISON – Data Recognition Corporation, a Midwestern assessment company with a Wisconsin office, received a letter of intent from the state to contract for the development, administration and reporting of results for new assessments for Wisconsin students. The new Wisconsin Forward Exam from DRC is expected to be shorter and to cost less than the Badger Exam it replaces. It will be administered online, and Wisconsin educators will be involved in test-item development and review over the course of the contract. Contingent on successful contract negotiations, state students will take the Wisconsin Forward Exam in spring 2016. The exam will test students in English language arts and mathematics in third through eighth grade, and science in fourth, eighth and 10th grades. High school students in ninth through 11th grade will continue to take the ACT assessments.
The company was successful in a Request for Proposals procurement process conducted by the Department of Administration for the Department of Public Instruction to replace the Badger Exam. The recently enacted state budget required the DPI to discontinue use of the Badger Exam. Winning the RFP does not constitute a contractual commitment between Wisconsin and Data Recognition Corporation. DRC, with its Wisconsin office focused on technology development, provides the online interface technology for Wisconsin’s assessment for English language learners. DRC currently serves public, private and charter schools in 13 states and has successfully transitioned numerous states to online testing via its DRC INSIGHT Online Learning System. – from Wisconsin DPI

Sarah Greife and Kylie Williams hold the luminaria lantern as the heat builds up to make it lighter than air. Like a hot air balloon, it will take flight, in this case, in memory of a cancer victim. The lanterns were launched on Monday, Sept. 7, after weather delayed the spring launch.

Center twin towers in New York City. A slab of shattered limestone from the Pentagon. A piece of black granite from Shanksville, Pa., where United Airlines Flight 93, the fourth civilian airliner hijacked by terrorists, crashed that fateful day. The artifacts rest on a large polished five-sided granite pedestal, centered on a pentagon-shaped cement pad. Two granite obelisks flank the pedestal, invoking the twin towers of the World Trade Center. A flagpole stands behind the pedestal, atop which a brass eagle looks down as if on eternal watch over the monument. Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, Wisconsin adjutant general, described the artifacts as “representations of the three touchstones of 9/11.” And they pay tribute not only to Sept. 11, 2001, but the dedication and sacrifice that followed in the global war on terror. “Nine-eleven was a cataclysmic event for our country, and it probably touched every member in the Wisconsin National Guard at the time,” Dunbar said, “and a large percentage of those who joined subsequent to 9/11, and their families and their employers - and by extension, our communities.” Dunbar worked at the National Guard Bureau on Sept. 11, 2001, and felt the impact as American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the Pentagon. Later that night he saw the Pentagon still burning. “A memory that is seared into my soul,” he said. “I can still see it burning - thick, black smoke.” The inscription on the front of the pedestal reads: “These vestiges from the September 11, 2001, terror attacks - steel from the World Trade Center, limestone from the Pentagon, and black granite from Shanksville, Pennsylvania - remind us of our duty to maintain eternal vigilance for our nation. While our enemies struck a few of our edifices, our national resilience remains unbroken. The spirit of our nation - the spirit of freedom - cannot be vanquished. This memorial is dedicated to the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, to the Wisconsin service members who lost their lives in the global war on terror, to the enduring courage and sacrifice of Wisconsin’s military personnel who placed the needs of our nation above their own, and to Wisconsin’s families, communities and employers who provided unconditional support.” A dedication ceremony for the 9/11 monument will be held Oct. 13. - from Wisconsin National Guard
