Washburn County group organizes to shelter county’s homeless Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — “There is a huge problem in the county that is going on. The issue is that the county is so sparsely populated that you don’t know there is an issue until they show up at your door. People just don’t realize how big of a problem it is,” said Bill Holden, spokesperson for the Washburn County Homeless Coalition. The Washburn County Homeless Coalition recently formed to provide assistance to those living in homeless situations in the county. The WCHC began as an offshoot of the Washburn Christian Outreach organization, which is a local faith-based organization that formed in December of 2014 to provide assistance to those in need. Many of the same players that form

WCO are involved with WCHC. Those include Tom Bremer, district director for the Salvation Army, Duana Bremer, Indianhead Community Action Agency shelter development, Dawn Wagner, of the Indianhead Community Action Agency Connections store, and various concerned county residents. “We encounter it all the time, we have no place to put homeless people so we either have to get them to organizations south of us or end up just putting them at a motel,” said Holden, who is also active in WCO and Ruby’s Pantry. Part of the problem with identifying and assisting the homeless is the difficulty in estimating

Professor makes surprising finding in job creation issue Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Since the recession there has been significant discussion about jobs and the economy. In the past year discussions have centered around how Wisconsin’s job-creation levels have been fairly poor in contrast to prerecession data. M. Kevin McGee, an economics professor for the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh, published a paper in August that explores how the state of Wisconsin could have a low unemployment rate while maintaining low job growth. “What turned out is the data shows it’s a population growth issue,” said McGee, who admitted the result surprised him. He had expected it to be because of a drop in the labor force participation but that wasn’t the case. “The issue appears to be that we (the

state) are not retaining our workforce,” said McGee. According to McGee the state lost about 10,000 people, as a net difference in migration, in the past four years. He says this suggests we have a problem in terms of keeping workers, which may have big impacts on the state economy in the next five or 10 years. “Assuming we care about the number of jobs in the state and increasing the number of jobs, we have to do something in terms of retaining the workforce that we have,” said McGee. People aged 27 to 44 are those that are leaving the state and McGee says that if they continue to leave the state will feel their absence 10, 20 even 30 years from now. “The whole job gap is our relative inability to create jobs and if we have people leaving the state, well they’re not

Employment figures released Danielle Danford | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — According to figures released by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Washburn County’s unemployment rate for June was 5.1. For the same month last year, the county’s unemployment rate was 6.0. Neighboring counties’ unemployment rates vary from 4.7 in Polk County, 4.9 in Barron County, 5.2 in Douglas County, 6.9 in Burnett County, to 7.2 in Sawyer County. Employment data for Washburn

going to be taking jobs here in the state and our employers are not going to have them available as workers so part of and what my results suggest is the biggest part of why we’re not creating jobs is we have people leaving the state, we have an exodus of workers.” While he doesn’t tackle the cause of Wisconsin workers’ migration, McGee pointed out that policies the state has adopted in the last four years make the state more or less attractive for workers. Going into the future the goal should be to attract workers because that is where the shortage is. But McGee does agree the reason for worker migration doesn’t come down to policies alone and the reasons for their migration is difficult to pinpoint due to the problematic nature involved in surveying those that have left.

“I think the most interesting thing is, is that this is not how anyone is looking at the problem and I wasn’t really looking at it this way until I explored the numbers, and the result is very clear,” he said. The state’s employment data comes from Quarterly Census on Employment and Wages, a monthly census of all employers. The state’s unemployment rate comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Local Area Unemployment statistics, which are estimated from the Current Population Survey, the Current Employment Statistics (a survey) and the state’s unemployment insurance data. Those were used as sources by McGee but he also used his own previous research and various economics textbooks.

What’s for lunch?

County lists 7,894 people employed in June 2015, an increase of 131 more people with a job over last year for the month. That also shows 163 more people employed over data for prerecession levels of June 2008. The state unemployment level was at 4.9 for June 2015 and was 5.7 in June 2014. State employment data shows that the number of people employed in June 2015 still lags behind the prerecession levels of June 2008 by about 18,000 people without employment.

The Friends of the Library will be holding their annual book sale at the beachfront shelter house, Friday and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. All that activity will surely work up an appetite. Thank goodness the Shell Lake Cub Scout Pack 51 will be selling walking tacos, hot dogs, bottomless lemonade, bottled water and baked goods as a fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5, at the Shell Lake Community Center. All proceeds will go to the Shell Lake Cub Scouts Pack 51. On Sunday, Sept. 6, at 10 a.m. an ecumenical church service will be conducted at the Shell Lake beachfront. Those that plan to attend are asked to bring chairs or blankets. An offering will be given to Washburn County Christian Outreach, a local organization that provides assistance to those in need. The Lake Park Alliance Church is this year’s host. Pastor John Hendry will give the message. There are many more events planned for the festival, check them all out at wcregisteronline.com.

Town and Country Days wouldn’t be possible without the individuals that organize the events. Tammy Fulton and Deb Allen are co-chairs of Town and Country Days. The tractor pull chair is Jack Harrington. The Nielsen family is organizing the garden tractor pull while the truck pull chairs are Aaron and Laurie Nielsen. Lakeland Family Resource Center and Keri Jensen have organized the lake run. Adam Lundberg is the chair of the car-bike show and the scavenger hunt. The street dance chairs are Chris Olson and Duane and Mary Talbert. The food court chair is Corrine Hill. The Shell Lake State Bank has once again organized the kiddie parade while the grand parade chair is Lori Goetsch. The fastest kid race chair is Rebeccah Cusick. Connie Quam is chair of the Dean-O-Mite kids night, the craft fair and Bingo. The sailing regatta chair is Pete Moen with Sara Hubin as volunteer.

Homeless/from page 1 its existence, although there is some data that shines a light on the situation. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction compiles data on its many programs for public schools. One of these programs is free and reduced priced meals. Students from families whose household income is 130 percent of the federal poverty line qualify for free meals, while eligibility for reduced priced meals is 185 percent of the federal poverty level. For the 2013-14 school year the Shell Lake School District reported that 57 percent of the student enrollment were approved for free and reduced price meals. The Spooner School District reported that 52 percent of students enrolled in the district were eligible. While these aren’t indicators of homelessness, the data does show that a marginal poverty level already exists in these communities. “There is nothing in Washburn County … we run into it every day, we have no answers for the question, so we need to work on that,” said Holden. After operating WCO with success for 20 months an opportunity presented itself that spurred the creation of WCHC and a solution for temporary housing for locals without a home. “WCO became aware that St. Alban’s Church, the rectory, would be becoming available … for a period of about two years where it won’t be used and since it

was an immediate opening and the need was there we kind of jumped on it,” said Holden. The organization has gotten approvals from the city of Spooner and the state to use the building as a shelter. Right now they are trying to determine how many families could stay in the building, preliminarily it looks like it could be several. Holden explained that people will be given a 90-day period where they are given shelter, but have to meet expectations like complete job searches and participate in job-skills training in order to stay at the shelter. Because there is a limited amount of space, priority will be given to families, women and children. The coalition’s immediate goal is to get the shelter up and running by Oct. 1 but an equally important goal is to find a long-term solution to the problem. The coalition’s next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 9, at 2:30 p.m., in the Wisconsin Jobs Services conference room in Spooner. The meeting’s goal is to develop a time line and determine the final steps needed to meet the Oct. 1 deadline for opening the shelter. The meeting is open to the public but there is limited space available. An informational public hearing about the group’s current shelter project status will be held on Monday, Sept. 10, at 6:30 p.m., at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Spooner.

Safety concerns lead the DNR to plan breach of Little Falls Dam SPOONER — Safety and code compliance concerns with the Little Falls Dam in northwestern Wisconsin have led the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to develop a plan for a controlled breach of the dam to allow a drawdown to proceed. Working with an engineering consulting firm and community groups, the DNR developed a plan to lower water levels behind the dam starting in midJune and concluding in mid-July. Since then, however, repeated rain events have occurred and water levels have not reached desired targets, said Paul Bruggink, northern Fish, Wildlife and Parks Division representative with the DNR. While the previous plans called for a 6-inch per day drawdown, the repeated rain events have not allowed the water level to reach a point where sediment management, including erosion control, could take place. As a result, the DNR has concluded a controlled breach will be

the best way to address health and safety concerns arising from the dam’s structural issues as well as sediment management. In addition to restoring safer and more predictable conditions downstream, the breach strategy will allow natural vegetation to become established prior to the end of the growing season and prevent future erosion, Bruggink said. The breach is not expected to negatively affect the fishery; while there will be immediate changes in local fish populations, populations will quickly stabilize and return to normal in both the lake and Lower Willow River. The DNR intends to initiate the work to breach the dam as soon as a contractor has been identified. The drawdown work is intended to be complete by late fall. To learn more about the project, visit DNR.wi.gov and search Little Falls Dam. — from WisDNR

Letters to the editor National Preparedness Month Procrastination. We’ve all been guilty of putting off until tomorrow what we could do today. Who can blame us? With family, school and work demands, life can get pretty overwhelming. There is something you can do today that takes only minutes and could save you and those around you. Make an emergency plan. September is National Preparedness Month. This year’s theme: Don’t Wait. Communicate. Talk to your family, friends

and co-workers about being ready for an emergency or disaster. Where would you go? Identifying places to meet such as a neighbor’s house or a community center in town just in case you can’t get back to your home. How would you communicate if you’re separated in a crisis? During a disaster, phone voice service may become overwhelmed due to the number of calls being placed and may be unavailable in

an emergency. Cell phone text messages can still get through because they take less bandwidth to deliver. Another great idea is to put together an emergency supply kit. The kit should have items such as water, nonperishable food, first aid kit, prescriptions, flashlight and a battery-powered radio. If you own pets, remember to include their food and supplies. Every home should also have a NOAA weather radio. These radios will

alert you to storms headed your way. Other emergency information is also broadcast using this system. Don’t wait. Communicate. Carol Buck Washburn County Emergency Management

Financial assistance available for abandoned wells WASHBURN COUNTY — Do you have an unused well on your property? Abandoned and improperly filled and sealed wells pose a significant threat to groundwater quality. If not properly filled with the correct solid material, they can directly channel contaminated surface or soil water into the groundwater. Contaminated surface water can enter a well if the casing pipe does not extend high enough above the ground and the well cap has been broken or removed, or if there are cracks or holes in the casing. Due to groundwater flowing through underground soil and bedrock, contamination that enters old wells can move to nearby drinking water wells, causing many health and environmental concerns. Large open abandoned wells — old dug wells — also pose safety hazards for small children and animals. Improperly filled wells may also lower pressure in neighboring wells Administrative Code NR 812.26(2)(a) requires abandonment of any well that

has been taken out of service or has not been used for three or more years and is not needed by the owner as a source of water in the next six months. The Washburn County Land and Water Conservation Department has funding available to properly close a well on your property, paying up to 70 percent of the costs. A site inspection will help you locate and determine the condition it is in. The work must meet specific approved standards and only licensed well drillers and pump installers may be hired to fill and seal the well. A plan must be approved and a contract signed with the department before any costs can be incurred. For more information on financial assistance to fill and seal your well, please contact the Land and Water Conservation Department at 715-468-4654. — from WCLWCD An abandoned well poses a threat to groundwater and animal and human safety. — Photo submitted

“Horse Soldiers” by Doug Stanton Reviewed by David McNeil, Shell Lake

f you are drawn to books that put meat on the bones of the historic events of our time while rivaling works of fiction, Doug Stanton’s “Horse Soldiers” and its incredible story line is a book for you. In the days and weeks after 19 terrorists changed our world on Sept. 11, 2001, three CIA paramilitary operatives were secretly

flown into Afghanistan to prepare for the retaliatory strike against those responsible. Spearheaded by a small band of Special Forces soldiers who allied with Afghanistan’s northern tribal leaders who were already battling the Taliban, they began a campaign that would eventually lead to the death of Osama Bin Laden. As the name suggests, the small team of Special Forces took part in what’s likely the first and last military campaign of the 21st century to be conducted on horseback, complete with cavalry charges, something even the highly trained SF team were not prepared for. “Horse Soldiers” is not just a wellresearched, beautifully written narrative of life – and death – in some of the most

remote terrain on earth. The book also explains the differences between the destructive ideologies of both the Taliban and Al-Qaida while taking you, the reader, into the personal lives of the elite professional soldiers and CIA operatives of today. As one operative said, “It was like the Jetsons meeting the Flintstones,” only in this case, the Jetsons were on horseback. Heroism, hardship and bravery against some of the most the barbaric cultures of our time are on display in this book, one you won’t want to put down.

Back-to-school time

he pencils were sharpened and placed in a new backpack along with other school supplies as area students headed back to classes on Tuesday, Sept. 1. In more recent years, students return to school after Labor Day; some parents may call this Independence Day. With Labor Day being late this year, many schools started classes the week before the last summer holiday. Let’s be honest here. Does it seem like it should be September already? After all, September is a month with “ber” on the end. Even though we may have some very pleasant days ahead weatherwise, after experiencing some cooler days last week there are some that do believe we are to the end of

summer. Perhaps we experienced cooler days to prepare us to thinking ahead to school days. Families with children in school will be adjusting their schedules to accommodate all the activities that come along with a school day and school year. As families adjust to a different schedule, so do pets. Nicholas Dodman, with a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery degree, stated in an article published in the Family Circle magazine that nearly 20 percent of the nation’s 80 million dogs have separation anxiety. Pets are used to having children home during the summer months and are a bit lonesome when they are left behind as the student heads off to school. When I was in elementary school, our pet dog was a beagle named Tuffy. He seemed

to know when it was nearing the time for the school bus to bring us kids back home each afternoon. Just before 4 p.m., Tuffy’s head would appear in the picture window of my parents’ living room. With his tail wagging, he would watch as we all got off the bus before he would run to the door to greet us. Long after Tuffy’s passing, my parents replaced the window. With the replacing of the window went the scratch marks that Tuffy’s toenails had made as he placed his paws on the ledge of the window to watch for us. For those of us not in a formal classroom, we are still learning. As American author Tom Bodett wrote, “The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.”

Vacation: The best time of your life

hen anyone talks about a vacation, it brings back faint memories of my younger days and with the thoughts come feelings of delightful experiences. Vacation! Not having to go to school for three months! That was always a time when all the possibilities stretched ahead like an amazing, shining river rippling with freedom from the restraints of school days. I defined vacation as a time off from school. During those years while I was growing up in a small town in the Depression, I learned of the well-to-do folks who went on vacations from reading about their lives in books for girls. The characters were children who would spend the summer at an oceanfront cottage where they would have interesting new friends and gather shells with them and have adventures. For me and my neighborhood friends it meant getting together and occupying our time with games, old and new. Kids I knew didn’t go on vacations. We had no beach house. We did go on vacation trips. One summer we camped at a state park for two months. Our father and uncle had to leave every morning to go to work and return in the evening. All of us went, the whole family, five kids and our parents and uncle and aunt and sometimes cousins. We stayed at the campground and had our meals at the campfire. We ate pancakes and eggs every morning. Mother made baked beans and wieners and cooked the fish we caught. We slept in the big tent all bundled up in light blankets on the canvas floor. The tent was shaped like a cabin, with a flap you had to tie shut when you went out or the flies and other bugs would get in. Mother had a spray can and would spray the whole tent

before we could go to bed for the night to save us from the mosquitoes. For us kids it was a wonderful vacation. Maybe not so much fun for our mother. It was an exciting place to stay. There were swings, teeter-totters and slides. You could go fishing or swimming. You could tramp the woods and listen to birdcalls, and see chipmunks and raccoons and squirrels. At night we heard owls and fell asleep safe and sound in our canvas house. We met other campers, many with children, and made friends with them and the park people. One day we watched the CCC men building a log fence. We found a bee tree and harvested the honey. Mother made plum jam from the fruit of a wild plum tree. Every day was an adventure, almost like the kind the people in my girls’ books enjoyed. Some days we went to Chicago and visited the museums. We didn’t stay over, but we came home in the dark, nodding off in the car, filled to the brim with images of all the amazing things we had seen. One summer we took a trip to Wisconsin and visited parks and a lovely lake where we went out on the water in a boat and floated among lily pads. We looked down into the clear water and saw fish swimming. I fell in love with Wisconsin then and made it my home later in my life. We visited Milwaukee and saw a museum and a zoo. We visited beautiful gardens and parks where we could play on the swings. The best vacation for me and my sister was when we could spend a week staying at the home of our cousins. They lived in a town a long way from us so we did not see them often. My cousin Nancy was my age, and her sister,

Betty, was the same age as my sister, Carol. One week I would stay at their house, so Nancy and I had good times together, and another week Carol would stay and have fun with Betty. Then they would each get to come and stay at our house for a week. They lived on the edge of town, and it was almost like a farm. They had sheep and chickens, and there was a big pasture where we could roam and play cowboys and Indians and pretend we were riding horses. We could wade in the creek and pick flowers, and just enjoy the carefree summer days together. As I grew older, I would always find some kind of work to earn spending money in summer. There was berry picking and I could be a baby sitter. I could do housework for people. One summer I stayed at a farm and worked for the farm lady. She was a very nice person. I helped her with the canning and to prepare for a family reunion at their farm. She paid me 50 cents a day and I got my room and board, my own room, not like at home where my sister and I shared our bedroom. For several years the farm lady had me come on weekends when school was in session. She had five boys, and they helped with the farming, but she had her hands full, so I was glad to help her. I liked going for the cows, gathering the eggs from the chicken house, and hanging the freshly washed overalls on the clothesline, with the fresh country air blowing and the sun shining. Other people might vacation at a seashore or in mountains, or visit exotic places, like the people in the stories, but I think my vacation was always eventful and left me with many beautiful memories. The only problem was the end of summer when I had to head back to school and the vacation was over.

Critter benefit held for WCAHS Snag’s Sports Bar in Spooner held its third-annual Critter Benefit for the Washburn County Area Humane Society on Saturday, Aug. 22. This year, Snag’s owner, Nancy Ratzenberger, changed things up a little bit. Rather than a poker run, the event started at 2 p.m. with a DJ, silent auction and Chinese raffle. Once again dinner included grilled turkey, sweet corn and a variety of extra salads and desserts brought by those attending the fundraiser. This year also included a meat raffle and ring-toss game. After a very windy but fun-filled day, winners’ names for the auction and raffle were called, with a few other drawings for free stuff too. The day didn’t end there though, in the evening the band Those Guys were up and playing. A whopping $1,500 was raised for the shelter. Appreciation goes out to the businesses, individuals and others who made a donation and also to all the people that helped out, making this a fun and successful fundraising event.

Pink flamingo fundraiser flocks in Spooner The youth group at Faith Lutheran Church did a fundraiser using pink flamingoes. The rules were as follows: you could pay $20 to have 20 flamingoes, $30 to have 36 flamingoes put in someone’s yard. Then you had flocked them. You could pay to have them removed in a timely manner or you could buy insurance to make sure no flamingoes were placed in your yard. Unfortunately for Bernadette Wabrowetz the insurance she bought did not cover her place of employment. So sorry. — Photo submitted

Spooner volleyball season starts Team donates proceeds to accident victim SPOONER — On Saturday, Aug. 29, the Spooner volleyball team hosted the Spooner Invitational. The players and coaches decided early in the week to donate all money from concessions and tickets to Marshall Hutton, the young boy who was a passenger in the car involved in the bus accident with the team bus on Saturday, Aug. 22, when the team was returning from Amery. The first volleyball match for the team was against Cumberland. This was a nonconference match, but it was an opportunity to play Cumberland before conference. For the matchup the Rails had 47 serves and only four errors. Kayla Boutwell was the strongest server in this game, with 15 attempts and seven aces. Monica Plesums followed with 12 attempts and three aces. Plesums and Jenna Curtis were strong hitters with seven kills together. Spooner lost the first game 1025, but came back in the second game to win 25-13. In a battle for the third game, Spooner came out winning 15-13 to win

This first win felt amazing. We definitely needed it as a team,” coach Melissa Smith said after the tournament. The Rails played Shell Lake in the second match. “We couldn’t seem to find our groove in the first game and took a hard loss, 12-25,” Smith said. Hannah Kastner, a freshman, stepped up and took the court after a player left the game because of an eye injury. Curtis, right hitter and captain, stepped up as the team did a great job working together. Spooner ended up losing game two 12-25 and lost the match to Shell Lake.

Carson Johannes, Curtis and Boutwell were strong at the serving line. Spooner ended up winning game two 25-18. “We knew we’d need to come out strong in game three since it was only to 15,” Smith commented, and added, “Emmie Bassett and

Topanga Peterson were hustlers on the court, while Monica Plesums was tough at the net.” Spooner won the game 15-9 to win the match. The fourth and final match of the day is always a challenging one in a tournament. “We were tired from the day and knew we would need to rally to win. Unfortunately Frederic came out with a stronger team and although we battled, we couldn’t catch up” Smith said. Frederic won both games, 25-11 and 25-12. Frederic took first place, Shell Lake second, Spooner third, Cumberland fourth, and Northwood fifth. The preliminary count shows $992 being raised for Marshall Hutton. Smith expressed gratitude to everyone who came out in support. Players and parents of the middle school and high school team ran the concession stand. “A lot of great things are happening with Spooner volleyball this year,” Smith said of the start of the season. — with submitted information

Shell Lake big win over Washburn/Bayfield/South Shore

Larry Samson | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Lakers welcomed the newest team to the Lakeland Conference by beating them 14-12 in a very close game on Friday, Aug. 28. The Washburn/Bayfield/South Shore Steelheads joined the Lakeland North Conference this year. They will be in with the bigger school in the Lakeland Conference as Frederic enters the Lakeland South Conference. The game started out slow for the Shell Lake offense, which gave up a fumble on the 35-yard line. The Steelheads took advantage of the fumble and scored on that series. The extra point was not good and it was a 0-6 game. The Steelheads added six points more in the third quarter when James LaPoint took the ball over from the 11-yard line. Shell Lake scored in the fourth quarter when Zach Melton connected with Sean Heckel on a 90-yard

It was the Lakers first win since 2013 when the Lakers started out the season with a win over Philips and followed that up with a win against Elmwood/Plum City on Sept. 13. Shell Lake will travel to Elmwood on Friday, Sept. 4. The record between the two teams is 1-1 so it is anyone’s game. The Elmwood/Plum City Wolves are coming off a 34-6 loss to Spring Valley. In their first game the Wolves beat Independence/Gilmanton 40-21.

The Shell Lake defense played a strong game to keep the Lakers in the game so that they could rally for a win as Shell Lake beat the Washburn/Bayfield/South Shore Steelheads, 14-12, in a home game on Friday, Aug. 28.

Cross-country team off and running

GRANTSBURG — After a week and a half of practice, the Shell Lake crosscountry team had their first meet Thursday, Aug. 27, in Grantsburg. The team competed against other students from Cameron, Frederic, Grantsburg, North St. Paul, Lac Courte Oreilles, Spooner, Unity/Luck and Webster. The Shell Lake High School girls placed fourth as a team and the high school boys placed seventh as a team. The middle school girls team placed third and the middle school boys placed fourth as a team. Medaling for Shell Lake were Brittany Clark, second place, and Frances Kevan, third place, for the middle school race, and Julia Pokorny, ninth place, and Ali DeLadi, 10th place, in the high school race. This year, Shell Lake had five students improve from their race last year to their race this year. Those students are Linden Nelson with a 1.5-minute improvement, Nathaniel Swan, Brittany Clark and Madeline Naglosky with 1-minute improvements and Frances Kevan with a 45-second improvement. “With this being the first race of the year, I consider it to be the first meet practice where we get used to competing against other students from other schools, because that all on its own can be stressful for students as they start remembering what it is like to compete again after a fun and relaxing summer,” stated coach Katrina Granzin. — from Shell Lake Schools

her husband, Johnny, purchased the farm that still operates as a dairy farm today. “He said my tongue writes faster than my head so sometimes I kind of write the same way,” Furchtenicht said, reflecting on her writing and her husband. Furchtenicht was married to Johnny for over 50 years. The couple had five kids: Rocky, Cindy, Russel, Roger and Mary Jane. Now the family has expanded to include 14 grandchildren. “Keeps me busy,” she said. After her Johnny died, her sons Russel and Roger took over the farm. Russel lives in the farmhouse that Marian and Johnny used to live in. “I’ve milked cows all my life,” she said. Furchtenicht grew up on a dairy farm near Earl that didn’t have the convenience of electricity until she was in high school. After high school, she and Johnny were married and they lived with his family, working their farm until they struck out on their own in Sarona. “We just whittled away at it all these years,” she said, reflecting on their dairy farm. Furchtenicht liked milking the cows and related farm chores, but not working with the tractors or machinery. She believes farming is a good way to raise a family and explained that no matter what

they did they worked together as a family. Furchtenicht said she enjoys writing the town news because it gives her an opportunity to visit with some of the neighbors when they call, but now she gets information via email and on social media websites. The way people share news and communicate is one of the bigger changes that has impacted her as a correspondent. “There have been a lot of changes over the years,” said Furchtenicht. Since the advent of computers much has changed, including people’s view of the column. Furchtenicht explained that many people don’t want their name in the paper, which is understandable but pointed out how she didn’t think there was a difference between the newspaper and social media websites. “But I’m no journalist at all,” she said. In the many years she has written the column she knows she’s made some mistakes and people will correct her, but she also gets good comments and those have outweighed the bad. Furchtenicht picked up writing the column after Helen Stellrecht decided to stop writing it. Furchtenicht attributes her desire to write about the Town of Sarona and its people to her being a people person. This desire

ing up. That reminds me that since I am so old, I, too, need to be “grown up,” leaving the decorating with toilet paper behind, as well as some of my other fun things. I am a native Shell Laker. I was born here, and thanks to my mother’s faulty gallbladder, I find my head is rather misshapen, hopefully not too noticeable, however. After getting all the childhood diseases, managing the pimple stage and getting through high school and college, marriage was next. Joe is also a Shell Lake product, which makes this kind of scary! We moved here and there, and finally Shell Lake opened its doors to us, once again, and we’ve lived here since 1965. Maybe this is the subject of my stab at writing. How this community has changed for us. This is about community voices, right? Back in the Dark Ages, we could play, as children, out under the streetlights

after supper until we were called home. Yes, Spin the Bottle was an indoor game we tried, but there were no TVs, computers or cell phones in those days. We had one policeman in town, who was so bowlegged you could drive a car through his legs ... with hardly any crime scenes in evidence. (Where are the policemen with their legs in parenthesis now?) To us, the town was filled with crazy characters that kept us amused by “aping” them, which was also a timeconsuming activity in our lives ... not to mention our pajama walks at midnight and our apple-stealing escapades. Today, if a person is a “crazy character” they are whisked off to a place where no one can see, hear or even smell their likes. Today, the community is now a city, with several governing bodies looking over us. Today, we don’t know who lives where anymore.

and the column have given her more than just material to write about, but also lasting friendships. “It’s been a big thing in my life because that’s been 33 years and I’ve spent many hours doing it,” she said. Today she has column readers that live in states across the country, some of them classmates. She reports that they look forward to reading people’s names in her reports because they often spark memories. Besides writing, Furchtenicht enjoys bowling and hopes to continue the pastime this winter. Furchtenicht has pitched horseshoe since the 1970s but the team she played for didn’t form this year. She also enjoys spending time with family, used to play cards but hasn’t had time lately, is a member of the Washburn County Historical Society, is behind on her scrapbooks, and loves flowers and watching nature from her deck.

Sunday, August 31, 2014 Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost ne of the major influences in our society today is O the emphasis on being politically correct. The threat or possibility of offending anyone about anything at any

time has silenced many of us. We fear that we will be condemned or criticized. Unfortunately, many Christians now remain silent when opportunities to speak of or for their faith arise. Rather than defending the Gospel, we have become fearful of offending others even if their values are wrong and beliefs unscriptural. Being politically correct was not a problem for David. In fact, it was the exact opposite. He was not ashamed to speak boldly and publicly about God’s involvement in his life. He had no hesitancy or fear to talk about his relationship with God. Once at a very special occasion in front or a large crowd he said, “I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly!” He put his faith on public display. He had been through an intense struggle with God. It must have been both long and difficult. But finally, his patience and perseverance, his respect and reverence for God were rewarded and his prayer was finally answered. As he reflected on God’s goodness and thought about his mercy and blessings, he could not contain himself. “I speak of your faithfulness - your salvation, love and truth,” he proclaimed. “I do not seal … I could not conceal ... my gratitude.” If we were talking about this event today, we would say that David gave his testimony to a large gathering. However, it was not the size of the group that mattered to David. It was his need to proclaim God’s salvation and faithfulness to others. He could not be contained when it came to sharing his faith.

Dewey Country

by Pauline Lawrence

by Helen V. Pederson

Skies were gray Monday morning with some sun poking through. It’s fall-like here. Some leaves are turning color and the sumac is turning red. It doesn’t seem like we’ve had a long summer. Maybe we will have a long fall. Sympathy to the family of Chuck Mortenson, 46, who passed away Tuesday, Aug. 25. Lilliam Ullom attended the wake on Sunday. His funeral was Monday. Jean Odden and her daughter, Kathy Granzin, Park Falls, visited me on Monday. Visiting Peder Pederson over the weekend were Curt and Martha Pederson and son Daniel from Hudson. They attended a picnic at Jim Gronning’s church in Trego after attending the Pentecostal church in Spooner. Jerry Swan, Las Vegas, son of Ruth Swan, has been spending a week here visiting relatives. He returned home on Saturday. He spent time with Joni and Mark Parker and all of them went to Eau Claire to visit David Swan and have dinner. On Friday, visiting Helen Pederson were Greta and

Logan Zinzli, of Eau Claire, and Sue and Larry Winner, of Solon Springs. Happy birthday to Tip Reinhart, who observed his birthday on Friday with cake and ice cream and also to Opal Gothblad, who celebrated her birthday here Saturday with a large group of family and cake and ice cream, too. Arlys Santiago golfed on Thursday and on Saturday. She golfed with Big Ripley girls at Butternut. Later Arlys enjoyed a picnic at Dick and Marie King’s and listened to the Porch Dogs at Lincolnwood Resort. Get-well wishes to Sue (Quam) Pederson, who had knee surgery last week. Tim is doing a good job of nursing her back to health. On Sunday afternoon, a group of ladies from Salem were treated to a lovely lunch at the Dahlen home. Beautiful young people are works of nature; beautiful old people are works of art.

son, who passed away recently. Virgil was a Dewey Country resident before he went into a nursing home. He leaves two daughters and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at the Lakeview Methodist Church on Wednesday with burial following. Paula Cramer’s former father-in-law, Jerry Cramer, has cancer. Jerry is 87 and is now in hospice. May he know he is in our special thoughts and prayers. On Sunday, Steve Hulleman went to his mom’s, Diane Hulleman’s, and was cutting up wood for the winter. Diane buys the wood in long lengths and Steve cut it up. Later Diane’s children will come and help split it. It’s really nice to have a large family, right Diane? Myrna Atkinson tells us she’s working on a quilt and this past week she froze enough corn for herself and Curt. Saturday, Myrna froze broccoli and cauliflower so she’s prepared with food for all the snow days we get this winter. It’s a great feeling, isn’t it Myrna, to have food on hand? You look out and see the snow and you’re just thankful you don’t have to go out in it. On Sunday at Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s were Richard and Karen Melton and Peggy Vesta. Cecil is home now and doing as well as can be expected. The hot weather bothers him a lot. Last Monday, Diane Hulleman went to Terraceview in Shell Lake. The ladies made blackberry cobbler, which sure sounds good. Has anyone been out blackberry picking? I’d like to look in our woods but I’m afraid of the bears as a mother and four cubs are in our woods. So, I stay out! Garry and Beth Crosby took Tom and Sunshine’s children, Isaac, Josie and Alycia, to Coyland Creek where they attended the various hunting things for the kids to learn and play. Beth says they all enjoyed the day. This is for 3- to 13-year-olds. Someone left me a gift of the heart. Yes, I was gone and someone came and left me a big box of tomatoes, zucchini, cukes and sweet corn. Well, whoever it was, I thank them. It was a very appreciated gift. I froze the corn, made canned tomatoes, made cukes and I grated the zucchini. Monday afternoon found Jackie Perlt coming to Diane Hulleman’s where she stayed until Wednesday noon. The gals had a great time, even going to Nicole Depoister’s home to see her house, which was very cute. They dug a bunch of flowers from Diane’s for Jackie before she left. It’s to be hot and humid this week, stay cool. Scatter sunshine! Have a great week!

ing and groaning. Yes, it’s time for school. How fast the summer days went by. Aren’t the yellow flowers along our roadsides beautiful? Yes, they’re just as beautiful this year as last year and I really enjoy looking at all of them when I go to Shell Lake. This past week I went to Smith’s Apple Orchard and got a bushel of apples for applesauce and also for pie. While there, I was greeted on their doorstep by a cute little kitten. Yes, this kitten was so friendly and purred away like it was saying, “Take me home!” I had lost my Muffin cat in July and decided I didn’t want another cat after having Muffin 20 years. But Judy said it was a male and talked about how friendly it was. She gave me a big buildup. Finally I told her I’d give it a try and took the kitten home. Well, when we got home, I fed the kitten and then it fell asleep. Well by Wednesday night the cat had made itself right at home. It loved the pups, too. Well that night the kitten felt really frisky and was tearing around. It went down the hall with the two pups following it and it was dark and the dogs came back in the hallway. Well that kitten came a tearing out of the bedroom in high gear and saw the dogs and he never slowed down. It was up and over these two pups and around the corner and another corner and he ended up beside my recliner. Well the dogs were so slow compared to the kitten they were busy looking on the stairway and elsewhere. I finally called them to come by me and then they saw the kitten and got it a-going again. This went on until it was bedtime. The kitten plays with my two pups and eats and sleeps with them. One night this past week I was sleeping and it was dark outside and I felt someone or something plop down on me and it gave me a start. Here it was the kitten. By the way, I named the kitten Razz. Talking with my sister, Dot Gudlin, she tells us she will be having her left knee replaced Oct. 5. She is buying extra food and making some for the freezer so she’s a busy lady. She’s trying to get a head start before surgery. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Virgil Peter-

Hasn’t the weather been so great this past week? Yes, with temps in the 70s it was great for canning and to just relax. Sept. 3, a very happy anniversary to Dan and Kayla Albee Smith as they enjoy their special day with many more to come.

His funeral was Monday at Salem Lutheran Church in Shell Lake. Last Thursday afternoon the Greg Odden crew drove into son Richy’s cornfield and started chopping, Rich says his corn is down to 66 percent and it’s time to get it chopped. By Friday evening, his corn was chopped and out in a long pile by his second turkey shed. Rich tells me he had his corn planted three weeks early and that’s why he got it chopped. Another big job out of the way. You can bet all the students going to class were moan-

The Rutabaga Fest was fantastic! We couldn’t have had more perfect weather for the weekend; cool and sunny. The parade is, I think anyway, the best parade in the area. I lost count of the number of American veterans presenting flags, high school marching bands, floats with town queens and princesses waving to the crowd, emergency vehicles, tractors, and young people from all kinds of clubs. Isabella Neitzel, who you probably know is from Barronett, looked lovely riding on the Cumberland float and waving to everyone. And, of course, the Spooner Heart of the North Rodeo queen and princess, Emily and Katy Foust, were there riding horses and promoting the rodeo. There was also one man riding a horse and dressed in a Civil War uniform. It was great. The only thing I would change would be the high school band uniforms. I can’t imagine how those kids can march that far in those long-sleeved jackets. I’d fall over from the heat. I didn’t know this earlier, but Maycee Vargo, another of our lovely little girls from Barronett, was also running for junior royalty. I’m so glad that I don’t have to be a judge in the queen contests. It would be hard to choose one girl to represent our area when they all seem to be just about perfect. I’ll leave that to the experts. After the parade, Jerry and Carol Hefty, Richard Pieper, Delores Schultz, Duane and I joined the crowd gathered around the food booths. Duane and I had pepper sandwiches, of course, and then pie and ice cream with the others. While we were sitting at a table enjoying our food, a man, Glen Emerson, sat down across from us and asked us how far we had to travel to get to the Rutabaga Fest. We told him that we were from Barronett, so only had to come about eight miles. He had come all the way from Denver, Colo., to see the Rutabaga Fest for the first time. He has family over by Balsam Lake, so they were with him, of course. We had a very nice visit, talked a lot about different small-town festivals, and decided that, next year, we would all go to the Monroe Cheese Days and meet at Baumgartner’s for lunch. Suzy Lehmann and I did the walk on Saturday morning. Little Tru couldn’t be there because her mom was not well, but we did get a T-shirt for her anyway. And, I want to compliment the people who volunteer to organize that event – and all the events during the weekend. But, I have to mention those who staffed the fun run/walk. I never know what I am supposed to be doing before the walk, and I went inside the high school to pick up the shirts. They couldn’t find our names on the computer, but they were very patient about looking even though there were hundreds of people milling about waiting for the race to start. Well, come to find out, the shirts for the people who preregister for the walk are outside in a box, in bags, with the names printed on them. So, anyway, I want to apologize for wasting so much of the staff’s

Dewey-LaFollette Intended for last week Hank and Karen Mangelsen went with Wayne and Marie Romsos to Cumberland on Saturday, Aug. 22, where they visited their niece, Erika Strickland, and her sons, Cadence, Levi and newborn Gabriel. Then Marie, Wayne, Karen and Hank went to Barron and attended a party for their nephew, Mike Romsos, and his wife, Denise, to help them celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. This week Dixie and Chuck Andrea, Judy Leonard, Lida Nordquist, Marlene Swearingen, Vicki and Kip Wiita, Karen and Hank Mangelsen, Lawrence, Nina and Donna Hines, and Marie and Wayne Romsos were among a number of people who attended a birthday party for Dave Close on Tuesday evening. It was held during open mic night at Tesora Event Center in Siren. Dave’s brother, Steve Close, and brother-in-law Larry Mangelsen both came from Hudson also to help Dave celebrate his 50th. Herb Downing and Jean Herzog from Menomonie were lunch guests of Gerry and Donna Hines on Wednesday. Nina and Lawrence Hines and Hank and Karen Mangelsen came later to visit also. Karen and Hank Mangelsen visited Lawrence and Nina Hines on Thursday afternoon. Ray and Cheryl Olson, their friends Elio and Elena, Lida Nordquist, Donna, Gerry, Nina and Lawrence

time, thank them once again, and promise to do it right next year. Tru was able to go to the Rutabaga Fest that afternoon, went on lots of rides, and was cheered on by Nana, aka Suzy Lehmann. Every year, after the parade, Rachel and Jesse Adams throw a big family reunion/birthday party for Trystin at their home. That is always fun. There were lots of people there to celebrate with Trystin, and he seemed to be enjoying every minute of it. Duane and I, who are true amateurs, played a game of beanbag toss with Curt Adams and his friend, Wendy, and were totally humiliated when they easily beat us by about 21 to 5. I told Duane that he should make us one of those games, we’ll practice a lot and not tell anyone, and beat Curt and Wendy next year. That will be our little secret, right? Ann Egstad, Mary Waite and Becky Drinken were among the many who attended the Rutabaga Fest play, “The Odd Couple (Female Version),” on Saturday evening. Ann said that it was very funny and very professionally done. She was still laughing about it Sunday morning when she was trying to tell us about the play. Shirley Overvig has some special guests with her at Barronett Lutheran on Sunday morning. Her granddaughters, Kalea, Elizabeth and Addison Lemke, who have been visiting since Thursday, attended service with her. The girls, who are from River Falls, start school this Tuesday, so they were getting in one last long visit. It sounds like they had a lot of fun, and that they are excited about starting school again. Devon Snowbank said that she is enjoying her classes at WITC. Devon is studying to be a dental assistant. We probably don’t have to wish Devon luck in her studies. She makes her own luck with hard work. You go girl. You’re destined for great things. OK, imagine a drum roll here. Kasey Brylski and Justin Olson were married at the Rolling Oaks in Barron on Saturday. The wedding was held on the golf course, and there were carts waiting to transport guests from the restaurant to the wedding site. The bride was absolutely lovely in a white lace gown, and the groom didn’t look too bad either. Actually, if you know Justin and Kasey, you know they always look good, even when they’re wearing aprons and working in the kitchen. Becky Jacobson performed the ceremony, and brought Bible verses and practical advice together beautifully. Justin’s grandma, Pat Olson, was in charge of catering, so there was way too much good food. Guests were treated to music by John Beland on the patio. And, there was a bouncy house for the little ones. What a nice idea. Usually children are pretty bored after the wedding ceremony, but this time there was no whining about “is it time to go yet?” Justin and Kasey are the perfect couple, and we wish them a

lifetime of happiness. One other note, Kasey and Justin were married on our Aunt Max and Uncle Mart Hefty’s wedding anniversary, and Kasey fastened a flower-shaped pin from Aunt Max on her wedding bouquet for her something old. I thought that was very special. Let’s see now, oh, the first Barronett Lutheran women’s meeting this fall will be held this Thursday, Sept. 3, at 7 p.m. in the church basement. We have to start planning for the Colorfest, which will be the third weekend in September. This is a pretty important meeting, so I hope you can join us there. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Have a wonderful week, and I’ll see you next time.

It was the last day of August as I sat down to write this news. So much going on all the time. Time flies. This weekend it’s Town and Country Days in Shell Lake with lots to do. School has started already. The smell of fresh fourth-crop alfalfa fills the air here as my boys are haying again. Folks were saddened to hear of the death of Chuckie Mortensen, only 46. He grew up here, across from the Getaway on CTH D. He was a nice kid, very smart, friendly, kind and likable. He leaves his dad, David; and sisters Karen and Kathy along with their spouses and families. Sympathy to the family. We also extend condolences to the Harmon family in the recent death of Ken, 49. He is survived by his father, Kenneth, Spooner, and his only sibling Laurie Frey, Pat’s wife here in West Sarona. You missed a fun day at Sarona Day on Saturday if you didn’t make it. There was a good turnout, lots of great food including the pulled pork. Games were played and it was nice to see and visit with neighbors. Thanks to Kelly Stoner and her helpers for getting it all together. Gene and Carlotta Romsos left after church Sunday to meet Carlotta’s siblings, Bob and Rita Tichy and sister Elvina and Dick Thompson at Neillsville where their parents are buried. They stayed overnight with her brother at Marshfield. Welcomed as new members of Sarona United Methodist Church on Sunday were Bob Single, and a transfer of membership to Glen and Janet Strube, who have moved here from Reedsburg. They bought a home on Big Ripley Lake out past the Sarona Cemetery. Welcome to Sarona, Glen and Janet. Vivian Bergman went with brother

by Marian Furchtenicht Gene and Kathy Bergman to Eau Claire on Saturday for a baseball game that their grandson was playing. Thursday she went with them to the Country Lane Farmers Market. It was a busy place. One day, Viv’s brother, Gene, took her to the emergency room after a severe reaction to a bee sting. They’re all over this year. Elfreda West is a new great again. Her grandson and wife, Paul and Lacey Donatell, Eau Claire, adopted another little guy who was born March 18, 2014, in Ethiopia. His name is Tolera Abose, now named Toley Paul Donatell. He joins a brother Benny. Congrats to all. A speedy recovery to LeRoy Sandridge who had carpal tunnel surgery recently. Sandy Vogt attended the floral design workshop at the Spooner Ag Station on Tuesday. About 30 women learned the basics of flower arranging, the tools used, and some of the rules the judges follow at fairs and flower shows. They all created a masterpiece with plant materials from their yards and gardens. The annual Big Ripley golf outing and neighborhood potluck were held Saturday, hosted by Dick and Marie King. There were 18 golfers playing at Butternut Hills in the morning and nearly 30 neighbors at the potluck and awards ceremony in the afternoon. The Spooner Garden Club had their fall plant and bake sale at Centennial Park in Spooner. It was very successful and raised funds for the two scholarships the club awards each year. Nancy Swanson reminded us that the Lions Club fish fry takes place Friday, Sept. 4, from 4-8 p.m., in the Shell Lake Community Center. On Friday, Aug. 29, Mark and Julie, and

John and Linda Sauer, and Paul and Cathi Hagen, and Rick and Carla Townsend attended the funeral of Marie Hovey in Spooner. In the evening, Mark, John and Linda, with Drew Sauer and Lacey Espeseth, attended a party in Rice Lake celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of Butch and Kathy Madsen. Saturday there was a large gathering at Pioneer Farm to work on the family gazebo, and have a cookout with an evening bonfire. In attendance were Bill and Duffy Sauer with their daughter, Lisa Kirwin, and her husband, Dave, all of the Twin Cities, along with Bill and Duffy’s daughter, Jeannine Hansen, with husband Bob and their daughter Stephanie, and Bill and Duffy’s great-grandchildren Skylar and Peyton from Dallas, Texas. Also Mark and Julie Sauer, with son-in-law Dan Looney, with children Myla and Jace, from Cottage Grove, Minn., Carla and Rick Townsend from Centuria, with Carla’s daughter, Kristi Hart, with husband Brett and children Parker and Kortney from Amery, and Paul and Cathi Hagen, with son Geof and his girlfriend Tricia Wilt. Also, Brad Doll, Frank and Tim Bernard, and Dan Fox, from Rice Lake. During the afternoon Dave Sauer’s 1951 John Deere A returned to the farm, procured by Geof Hagen from Frank Galli in Madge, after some mechanical work by Georg and Drew Sauer. On Saturday, Shannon Sauer, Janesville, with her fiance, Brandon Brown, Rice Lake, and his son Braedon, were also at the farm. Saturday afternoon and evening was Roger Nielson and Vicki Gee Treft’s sixthannual rendezvous BBQ and potluck with

live music, hayrides, lawn games, bonfire and fireworks. Some camped over. They have such a neat place back in the woods over by Harmon Lake. There are neat raised gardens and their vintage collection to enjoy. Elfreda West, Mavis Schlapper and I went together. Really enjoyable. Thanks to them. They had a good turnout and the weather was great for it. Bonnie Helmer and I took in the delicious meal at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Spooner on Wednesday night. That was so nice. Saw quite a few people I knew. Afterward we stopped by brother Don Shoquist’s for a bit. Casey Furchtenicht got home after a nine-day trip with best friend Brett Holman and wife Hannah and their friend from Menomonie. They took a hiking trip in the mountains in Aspen, Colo. They report a good time but came home tired. He would like to go again. Birthday wishes to Julie McCann, Dennis Wood, Aurora Pollei and Ken Anderson, Sept. 3; Ericka Parker, Judy Schmelke, Jacob Stodola, Shirley Stein, Dennis Musil and Danny Washkuhn, Sept. 4; Debbie Scalzo and Heidi Voglar, Sept. 5; John Morevec Sr., Dennis West, Zach Boland, Darlene Chaney and Diane Lee, Sept. 8; Brenda Zaloudek, Ryan Musil and Mary Engen, Sept. 9.
