Missing for 15 years

by Jessica Beecroft SPOONER — Sara Anne Bushland went missing on April 3, 1996. She was last seen exiting her school bus at the end of the driveway at her family’s residence, in rural Spooner, and was never heard from again.

Bushland was a high school sophomore in 1996. Her case remains open and unsolved.

Bushland was raised in Wisconsin until the age of 10 when she and her older sister moved to Colorado to live with their father.

When they returned to Wisconsin in 2004, she decided to live with her mother. She visited her father in Chippewa Falls on a regular basis.

Authorities initially classified Bushland as a runaway, but they are unsure of what caused her disappearance. Later she was classified as a missing child and then back to a runaway. She didn’t take any clothing or money with her, and she wasn’t acting in an unusual manner before her disappearance.

“The worst part is the not knowing,” said Dawn Bushland, Michael Bushland’s wife and stepmother of the missing girl.

Bushland’s blond, blue-eyed visage didn’t land on front pages or television screens coast to coast. Law enforcement at first considered her a runaway. She was missing, but so was the sense of urgency about her case.

“Of course, we contacted ‘America’s Most Wanted,’ but the case is too cold,” said Dawn.

“There’s not enough pizzazz.”

Meanwhile, every Father’s Day, Michael prays that his daughter will call. He and Dawn now believe that Sara is deceased.

“There are several people reported (missing) each day. Most of them are children, and most are found within hours,” said Lt. Daniel Ruzinski, a veteran sensitive-crimes detective. “The majority of them, probably 75 percent, are found within a day.”

An average of 700 to 800 children are reported missing each month in Wisconsin, state records show. The majority of those reported missing are found or return home on their own within hours or days, says Randy Romanski, a spokesman and policy analyst in Attorney General Jim Doyle’s office. “On average, about 95 percent of children reported missing are located in less than two days,” he says. “Typically they would be runaways; children told to leave the home - say, during an argument - and then came back or were located. However, there are some that are longer-term cases or more serious.”

In this respect, cases such as Bushland’s are usually promising. Children are more likely than adults to be reported as missing very quickly. Fewer people report adult friends and relatives as missing, even after extended absences, Ruzinski stated.

“Everybody’s got a relative you haven’t seen for a couple of months, right? Do you report them missing?” he says. “It’s not unusual not to hear from cousin so-and-so for

Moving Wall is a moving experience

by Larry Samson SPOONER — It was a busy weekend with the Washburn County Fair and the Moving Wall at the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery. It was a time for young 4-H and FFA members to make new memories and for Vietnam veterans to relive old memories.

It is called the Moving Wall because it is mobile. Two walls travel the nation to bring the Vietnam Memorial experience to those who cannot travel to Washington, D.C. It is also called the Moving Wall because you cannot help but be moved by it; 58,479 mostly young service men and women gave up their lives, making the ultimate sacrifice to the service of our country. When you walk the length of the wall, you come away with the knowing they are not a number but a name and that they have left loved ones behind. When you look at the names you see your reflection. For those who served, their thoughts are that it could have been them; for some it is a guilt they have carried with them. One veteran remarked that there were those who he served with that he could not remember their names and now he felt a new pain but in reality they will not be forgotten as long as memorials like this are around.

The opening ceremony was held on Thursday, July 28, at 7 p.m., when about 1,000 people gathered to hear the Shell Lake Community Band, Spooner Community Choir and the 34th ID Military Band. It was a simple ceremony with little military fanfare. Metal of Honor Recipient Gary Wetzel spoke not of himself but as a Vietnam veteran, proud of their service to their country and their feelings of returning to a country that did not seem to be appreciative. He summed it up with a simple thought, “Pride in us and us as a nation.”

The wall was brought to Washburn County due to the efforts of a few volunteers and was pulled off through the efforts of many nameless volunteers. The wall was open and staffed 24 hours a day starting on Thursday, July 28, until Monday, Aug. 1, when it was torn down to be transported to Rugby, N.D.

A time to reflect.

Casey Furchtenicht and Boy Scout Leader Shaun Cusick of Troop 51 received the honor of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in the opening ceremony held Thursday, July 28, at the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

An OH-6 Cayuse, nicknamed Loach by the servicemen on the ground, hovers in the treetops much like it would have in Vietnam 40-50 years ago. As a light operational helicopter, it called in positions for the attack copters and gunships. Equipped with a minimal defensive armament, the two-man aircraft relied on their speed and ability to fly at treetop level as their defense.

Alyxia Johnson a fourth-grader from Spooner, got a history lesson from her grandfather, Dave Hanson, who was stationed in Tuy Hoa, Vietnam.

In the closing ceremony of the Moving Wall that was held Sunday, July 31, retired Command Sgt. Maj. Brian Sengbusch (L) is recognized for his work in bringing the Moving Wall to Washburn County, as the committee chairman. County Veteran Service Officer Carl Krantz and administrative assistant Lisa McNeally presented him with a plaque.

World War II veteran and songwriter Larry Lee Phillipson performed his own song, “No Welcome Home,” at the Moving Wall opening ceremony held Thursday, July 28, and also on Friday, July 29, at the Washburn County Fair. The song is a tribute to the Vietnam veteran who never received the respect or honor due. Phillipson served as a Marine in the Pacific Theater including Roi-Namur, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima.

Burglary leads to the arrest of two suspects from Minnesota

TOWN OF CASEY — An investigation spanning from Tuesday, July 26, through Thursday, July 28, led to the arrest of two persons from Minnesota.

Kaylee Michelle Miller, 18, Inver Grove Heights, Minn., was arrested and booked into the Washburn County Jail on charges of burglary. After an extensive search involving several area agencies Joseph Francis Lukas, 22, from St. Paul, Minn., was booked into the Washburn County Jail on multiple counts of burglary along with knowingly fleeing law enforcement.

Washburn County sheriff’s deputies and investigators responded to the report of a burglary at a residence in the Town of Casey on Tuesday, July 26. During the commission of this burglary the suspects had stolen a golf cart after forcibly breaking into a garage. During the investigation, a Jeep with Minnesota license plates was located submerged in a marshy area near the burglary scene.

According to evidence found, investigators believed the suspects to be a male and female along with a dog.

At approximately 1:30 p.m., on Wednesday, July 27, Washburn County sheriff’s deputies responded to a burglary-in-progress call on Leisure Lake Road in the Town of Casey. A citizen called the sheriff’s office and reported that they observed a male and a female trying to steal an ATV out of his neigh-

Several local post offices likely to close

Comstock, Sarona on a list of 3,700 slated to go dark

by Greg Marsten Special to the Register BALSAM LAKE – The U.S. Postal Service released a long-awaited list of small or underutilized post offices slated to likely close due to consolidation of services in the near future.

Several of those closures are expected to affect local residents, including in Sarona and Comstock.

“Today, more than 35 percent of the postal service’s retail revenue comes from expanded access locations such as grocery stores, drugstores, office supply stores, retail chains, self-service kiosks, ATMs and usps.com, open 24/7,” Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said on Monday, July 25. “Our customers habits have made it clear that they no longer require a physical post office to conduct most of their postal business.”

The USPS operates over 35,000 post offices across the nation and in its territories, and the list released this week outlines possible closure plans for 3,700 of those offices, some of which see very little business.

Donahoe said the plans are not finalized, but they are working with some of the communities to establish what they refer to as a "village post office" as a potential replacement option. Village post offices would be operated by local businesses, such as pharmacies, grocery stores and other appropriate retailers, and would offer popular postal products and services, such as stamps and flat-rate

terroristic threats and reckless disregard for safety. Deputies continued patrolling the area throughout the night in an attempt to locate the male suspect.

In an attempt to apprehend the burglary suspect, at approximately 8:49 a.m., Thursday, July 28, a Washburn County sheriff’s investigator initiated a foot pursuit into a wooded area located near Perch Lake Road in the Town of Bashaw. The following agencies were involved in the operation: Washburn County sheriff’s deputies, Washburn

Once adults are reported missing, some factors make them easier to track down. An adult’s employment records, travel arrangements and credit cards leave a paper trail.

Still, there are resources for missing children that don’t exist for missing adults.

Most government and private missing-persons tracking organizations concentrate on children, Romanski said. In Wisconsin, Doyle’s office oversees the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children, a conduit or-

As has happened on many prior occasions, these operations conducted by the sheriff’s office were successful due to the fact that citizens became involved in reporting their observations and being involved in the happenings of their community. Working relationships between the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office and outside law enforcement agencies have fostered an environment where multijurisdictional operations have led to successful results as seen in this case. — with submitted information

“The postal service of the future will be smaller, leaner and more competitive, and it will continue to drive commerce, serve communities and deliver value,” Donahoe said in a media release.

The Comstock office, ZIP code 54826, is located northeast of Turtle Lake in Barron County, on Hwy. 63. The Sarona office, ZIP Code 54870, is located in Washburn County, east of Shell Lake, west of Hwy. 53.

Donahoe noted that the plans have not been finalized, but gave no date for possible closures. He added that the U.S. Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

by Jessica Beecroft SPOONER – On Sunday, July 24, a motor vehicle accident involving entrapment brought the Life Link chopper to Hwy. 70 near Spooner to get the driver, Leota S. Spalla, 62, Brooklyn Center, Minn., and passenger, Ronald G. Otterness, 66, Eden Prairie, Minn. Both Spalla and Otterness were airlifted to the Regency Hospital in St. Paul, Minn., with injuries. The accident occurred at 3:10

p.m., and the chopper arrived at 3:47 p.m.

According to the Washburn County sheriff’s report, Spalla was driving eastbound on Hwy. 70, near Lily Lane, when she fell asleep, swerved toward the ditch to miss a car ahead of her, and then came back onto the roadway, crossed the centerline, lost control and overturned in the ditch. No update on their condition is available at this time.

Frog soup to die for

A mistake often committed by those making frog soup is to place the frog in a pot of boiling water without proper preparation. The frog goes into selfpreservation mode, panics, and escapes.

The following is a fail-proof recipe … usually.

Place a pot with tepid water and peas on the stove and slide the frog into it.

Slowly increase the heat as you distract him psychologically with a patronizing discussion about social justice.

When the frog complains that space in the pot is confining and he wants to return

to the freedom of the lake, protest his ingratitude for the pot you provided to stop the exploitation of the environment by big frog populations. Tell him to compromise and accept this cleaner, smarter, more efficient environment.

The frog may express concern that his mating song will not be heard if he is in the pot. Explain that he must consider new traditions and customs.

When he searches for flies, his favorite food, declare that the sight of his sticky tongue wrapped around an innocent fly struggling to avoid being swallowed alive

is uncivil and repulsive. Frogs must choose food that is less offensive to others.

He must eat his peas.

Adjusting to increasing water temperatures, the frog may send symbolic vocalizations, which identify his home and invite other frogs to join him. Mock him for using methods of identification that are as discriminatory as those of species who fly flags, bash heads together, or flap wings. In condescending tones, scold him for displaying a group identification technique that sensitive frogs would recognize as offensive to some.

At this point, the progressive method of increasing water temperature will have created an environment in which the typical frog will submit, become lethargic, and ignore the danger around him as he sinks to the bottom of the pot.

While consuming your soup and all that the frog had to offer, beware the increasing population of flies.

For many years I ran a small business where the first check I made out each month was to the government for payroll taxes. However, I am not bright enough to follow the thought processes expressed by Susan Hanson and her friends on these pages. I assume they think if those nasty Republicans and Tea Party people would go away, the world would be a perfect place. And if those businesspeople who are sitting on a pile of money would hire more people and those other rich people would only pay more taxes, our economic problems would be solved.

Would I dare suggest Ms. Hanson and her friends get together, form a company, and hire some people so they too could pay payroll taxes? Or as an alternative, sit down each month and write a check to the IRS in addition to what they already paid.

I am sure the government would gladly accept it.

On a similar subject, I find Sen. Jauch’s essay blaming Gov. Walker for closing the Hayward tree nursery interesting. If I recall correctly, the Washburn County Board passed a resolution several months ago in opposition to the closing. Maybe the au-

gust senator spent more time in Illinois than reported. And I also find it interesting that he apparently thinks the only employees worth considering are government employees. Where was his concern two years ago when the economy went into the tank and tens of thousands of private sector employees lost their jobs?

And isn’t it also interesting the DNR is spending some $5 million-plus on a new building in Spooner but doesn’t have enough money to keep the nursery open or their doors open to serve the public?

Would that be a management problem?

I am a simple person. I remember my parents’ admonition against spending more money than I had in hopes some sugar daddy would show up on the horizon and bail me out. I believe the phrase was “fiscal responsibility” – watch your pennies. If our government officials and elected representatives would apply this fiscal responsibility to government operation, I somehow feel we would all be better off.

LUCK — Sixty-five middle school children from five northern Wisconsin rural school districts recently learned that there is far more to Luck than its proud heritage of being the first home to the Duncan Toys Company yo-yo factory.

In addition to the Luck School District, youth from Birchwood, Shell Lake, New Auburn and the Northwood School participated in this project. Under the auspices of New Paradigm Partners, a nonprofit consortium of rural schools, they spent a day in Luck as a part of Sobercruizin, a Project Northland initiative funded by the Department of Education, aiming to, among other things, curb underage drinking.

It is all too easy to focus on the negatives, for example the particularly high rates of incidents of underage drinking, driving while intoxicated and binge drinking in northern Wisconsin rural communities.

New Paradigm Partners, however, chose instead to study statistical evidence to learn how to best address negative trends early

on. Through Project Northland a middle school curriculum used in the five school districts mentioned above, students learn to recognize risk behaviors and to make wise choices when confronted with them. They also get to know other children who have had the same training. Together it is easier to resist negative trends.

According to NPP’s Sherry TimmermanGoodpaster, parental involvement and education are key to successful results.

“Research shows that if you go through three or more years with our curriculum, which includes — in addition to the classroom component — a parent and an afterschool component, you can teach children to recognize risk behavior and to greatly delay or prevent the onset of that behavior,” she said.

The fun day in Luck was a part of Sobercruizin, the after-school component of the Project Northland curriculum. It included a visit to the driving range at the Luck Golf Course, where a golf pro patiently helped

middle-graders learn to hit. Four community volunteers then took the youth for a tour of the historical museum. They also got to see the downtown library, play volleyball at the sandpit, and enjoy a picnic at the Lions shelter.

“These activities expand the students’ horizons and help them discover the assets in rural communities,” said Renee Gavinski, NPP project leader coordinator from the Luck School District. “It gives them more choices. A lot of the time they may not even realize they are learning things.”

“This is the biggest group of children we’ve ever had,” said Timmerman-Goodpaster. “It’s a great way to build connections across the communities. Usually kids only see each other in competitive sports. Here they learn to be cooperative.”

Timmerman-Goodpaster praises the community of Luck, which so wholeheartedly supported the project and supplied volunteers for the children’s activities.

These middle-schoolers have already enjoyed a number of fun activities since the Luck Sobercruizin kickoff. Other Sobercruizin summer activities include: strawberry picking and Paul’s Food Pantry service work in Rice Lake – a service project for which Mommsen’s Strawberry Patch donated all strawberries – swimming in Birchwood, fishing and pontoon excursions, a visit to the Spooner Ag Station and swimming in Shell Lake, a visit to the interpretative center in New Auburn, then swimming and canoeing in a neighboring lake, tour of Jack Links, a trip to the Barron Market and lessons in life-skills cooking with local produce, tour of Blue Hills Alpaca Farm with a cookout, and a fly-in in Cumberland.

MADISON – State Sen. Bob Jauch, DPoplar, and Rep. Nick Milroy, D-South Range, are seeking an additional $2 million in state funding to replenish the Wisconsin disaster assistance program which has been depleted by damage caused by violent natural disasters.

In a letter to Gov. Walker the two northern lawmakers stressed that a rash in violent storms has resulted in submission of outstanding claims between $1.75 million to $3 million that will put the disaster fund in deficit and deprive communities of state support for emergency response and cleanup costs.

The state of Wisconsin provides assistance to local governments who have been forced to incur substantial costs from damage related to severe weather through the Wisconsin Disaster Assistance Fund.

The state budget provides $1 million over the next two years for the fund. “Clearly the large volume of claims demonstrates that this amount is not sufficient to pay for claims for the damage from seven storms this year, let alone pay for the outstanding claims from last year,” they said.

“Since April, seven counties in Wisconsin have been battered by straight-line winds and tornados requiring significant emergency response and cleanup costs to dozens of affected communities. Damage alone from the Independence weekend storm that blew through Burnett, Washburn and Douglas counties is estimated to reach $1.8 million.”

The lawmakers stressed that local budgets are already stretched thin and they will not be left with sufficient funds to operate.

“Damage in a single township exceeded

$300,000 and it may run out of money in a matter of weeks. It is urgent for the state to replenish this fund and assure these communities of the assistance they have been promised.

“This fund was set up to make sure that the state of Wisconsin fulfills its responsibility to help communities as they struggle to recover from natural disasters,” the lawmakers said. “We are seeking the additional funds to make certain that the state has sufficient resources to meet current and future claims.”

The lawmakers noted that the storm damage is not sufficient to warrant FEMA designation for federal help; therefore the 70-percent reimbursement from the state program is the only means to seek financial help for these unforeseen costs.

The lawmakers said the willingness of the Walker administration to provide $1 million in the state budget is recognition that the disaster assistance program is critical to assure that communities are not economically burdened by the costs of any natural disaster.

“Helping communities recover from a natural disaster is a basic function of government and local officials should be able to rely upon state government in shared responsibility toward paying for extraordinary costs that are above and beyond local control.”

The lawmakers asked that the administration recommend the transfer of funds to the Joint Committee of Finance for consideration in the September committee session. — from the offices of Sen. Jauch and Rep. Milroy

by Diane Dryden WASHBURN COUNTY — “I thought he was just getting forgetful.” This comment was made by a woman who wishes to remain anonymous, but wants to share her story of how she came to understand, little by little, that it wasn’t just old age that was affecting her husband.

Married 61 years, these two people were able to finish each other’s sentences and know what one was going to say before they said it. “I suppose that’s why it was easy for me to fill in the blanks when he couldn’t,” she says. “I just figured he hadn’t heard the question, so I would answer for him. I also started to buy pullon pants for him because they were easier to get off and on; after all we’re both in our 80s and it just made it easier for him. I made sure that every new pair of shoes I bought for him had the Velcro straps. He’s always been easygoing and so it wasn’t a surprise to me when I’d ask him something and his only response was either, who cares, what difference does it make, or beats me.

“We’ve always had quite a social life, playing cards with friends, etc., but things got tense when he starting having hearing loss, which leads to a loss of a sense of smell, followed closely by the loss of taste. I was being such a good wife, always there for him, that it almost sent me into a nervous breakdown. I thought it was old age, but one night at 2 a.m. he was at the neighbor’s door looking for me and I knew that it wasn’t just the natural aging process. To get him to give up his driving license I told him that it would be cheaper for us to pay only one insurance premium and that he had driven so many years, it was his turn now to look at the scenery.

“My husband spent his life working in a foundry and when he retired at 62 he started carving wood. He had the garage all set up for carving and when a fire wiped out the building we decided not to replace the expensive equipment. I see now how this set him back and he started to get angry and belligerent.”

“His doctor recommended the

Alzheimer’s support group at the Spooner hospital for me to attend and I reluctantly went. I had absolutely no intention of standing up and talking about the strange things my husband was doing, but as soon as I walked into the downstairs conference room at the hospital I knew this was a group that wouldn’t judge me; they met me with open arms and stories of their own. I started going twice a month in November and December 2010.”

It was in this group that she could share the fact that her husband had started to go to bed with his shoes on and no one there thought it was strange as they then added similar stories of their own.

This family consisted of not only Mom and Dad, but three grown children; one who fully understands the situation because he was the one who became the caregiver of his father when Mom needed surgery that turned into an extended time at the hospital, her absence that worried his father so. They have another daughter who is hoping for a miracle to occur and for this odd behavior to change and the third child who was there that fateful Christmas Eve when Dad had his stroke and ended up in the emergency room.

From the hospital he went into the nursing home as an Alzheimer’s patient.

His wife almost felt guilty, but once he had been admitted she began to sleep through the night without worrying what he was doing or where he was going. She knew he was in a safe place now and it gave her much-needed peace.

But it’s not over until it’s over, according to one pundit and now that the stroke has taken the use of his legs, this man thinks he’s broken both of them. One day when his wife came to visit he was lying in his darkened nursing home room with tears streaming down his face saying he just wanted to die. “Nonsense,” she said as she helped him up into his wheelchair and then pushed him into the sunny afternoon outside in the gazebo. “After a while he began to feel

Register Memories

1951 - 60 years ago

• The employees of Shell Lake Motors were entertained at a spaghetti dinner at the C.A. Arrasmith cottage.

• Pvt. Alvin Holman, son of Frank Holman, completed a 14-week training cycle at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., with a unit of the 6th Armored Division.

• Major Robert T. Shellito, much decorated veteran and son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shellito, was assigned as assistant director of the material planning at the Continental Air Headquarters at Mitchell Air Force Base, N.Y. • Robert Godown, on leave from duties as a radio operator with the Merchant Marine, came from Oakland, Calif. by stratocruiser. He saw the area near Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas, which was devastated by recent floods. He had spent the last four months in Korea and was spending time in the Shell Lake area with his wife and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Godown.

1961 - 50 years ago

better about life and we had a pleasant afternoon.”

She used to stop in at both lunch and supper every day to help feed him, but as she says, she has a life to live and she goes three times a week now. “I didn’t plan this kind of life, we were going to travel and enjoy our old age, but everything’s changed and I’m much stronger today. The people at the nursing home are like angels without wings and they take such good care of him, lessening my duties and assuaging any of my worries.

I still attend the support group every first and third Wednesday of each month from 6-7:30 p.m. and it’s become a place of joy and comradery for me. I also find an abundance of information there on the back table like legal information and medical assistance, all under the elder care program.”

The support group, which has been together five years, discusses important issues like having to handle the finances now, doing all the driving, making all the decisions and making all the plans and the difficulty of having to constantly fill in as their loved one loses their social skills. These are just more of the things that caregivers have to add, making the loads they carry even heavier.

Many caregivers get grief from their families for being at the nursing home so often and it’s difficult for others to understand that they are still caregivers, even if their spouse or parent is in the nursing home.

If it’s a parent that has Alzheimer’s, sometimes a spouse feels jealous of the time that’s spent on visits and running errands. “An understanding spouse is a marvelous asset,” said one of the people who attend the Alzheimer’s support group. “We also remind each other all the time that there’s no right or wrong way to be a caregiver when the loved one is in the nursing home and adding guilt isn’t acceptable for doing or not doing what someone else thinks we should.”

Free career workshop at Spooner library

SPOONER — “It is never too late to begin again” is the mantra of the free career workshop to be held at the Spooner Memorial Library on Tuesday, Aug. 9, from 6-8 p.m. The program is being offered by the Educational Opportunity Centers from Rice Lake.

EOC is a federally funded program that provides counseling and information on college admissions to qualified adults who want to enter or continue a program of postsecondary education. Free personality and interest inventories are also available to assist prospective students in selecting a career path that best suits them.

Another important objective of the program is to counsel participants on financial aid options and to assist in the application process. The goal of the EOC program is to increase the number of adult participants who enroll in postsecondary education institutions.

Adults eligible for free service include: Individuals who are both low-income and first -generation college adults — individuals whose birth or adoptive parents do not have a four-year bachelor’s degree; displaced workers; underemployed and unemployed workers; or U.S. veterans.

Conducting the workshop will be Jim Dzimiela, program counselor from Rice Lake. Dzimiela, grew up in Weyerhaeuser, and is a graduate of UW-Barron County for his associate’s degree and UW-Eau Claire for his teaching degree. Dzimiela is an EOC success story as he returned to graduate school at the age of 42 to get his master’s in guidance and counseling at UW-Stout. He was an EOC client and understands the needs of adult students.

Tomasiaks recognized for achievements

SHELL LAKE — Mary Tomasiak, a summer resident of Shell Lake, recently received a proclamation of appreciation from James J. Schmitt, mayor of Green Bay. Tomasiak was acknowledged for planning and implementing a conference for high school students throughout Wisconsin, working to increase awareness of diversity in the community, working to challenge myths and stereotypes and working to widen the spectrum of diversity. She provided leadership strategies for participants in the Northeast Wisconsin Diversity Leadership Conference, and has generously volunteered her time and energy to better the community and has served as an outstanding role model for all citizens.

Tomasiak has taught in the Green Bay Area Public Schools for 22 years and is also serving on the patient education advisory council at Bellin Hospital in Green Bay. Jim Tomasiak, part owner of Tomco Machining, a Dayton, Ohio, aerospace parts manufacturer, plans to move into a new $1 million-plus building in Springboro’s city-owned business park within the next two years. The purpose of the move is for expansion. The company plans to spend up to $1.7 million on the move. Tomco currently employs 20, with plans to add 15 more workers in the future.

Tomco makes spare parts and assemblies for aerospace manufacturers. For the second consecutive year, the company projects a 10-percent growth.

Purple loosestrife is in bloom

by Lisa Burns, AIS coordinator WASHBURN COUNTY — Purple loosestrife — lythrum salicaria — is an attractive perennial originating from Europe. In the 1900s, it began being sold in Wisconsin as a gardening flower. You may be familiar with this plant, seeing the colorful masses of purple along roadside ditches and in wetlands in late summer.

Unfortunately, purple loosestrife is an awful invader. It is of concern because once established, it shades out many native wetland species, degrades wildlife habitat, and degrades recreation by choking out waterways. By law, purple loosestrife is a nuisance species in Wisconsin. It is illegal to sell, distribute, or cultivate the plants or seeds.

Purple loosestrife is in bloom from July until September. It spreads mainly by seed, but also by roots.

Author of “Monkey with a Tool Belt” to give reading

SPOONER — Children’s book author and illustrator Chris Monroe of Duluth, Minn., will be at Northwind Book & Fiber in downtown Spooner on Saturday, Aug. 6, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Her first book was “Monkey with a Tool Belt” about an industrious little monkey. Carol Dunn, owner of Northwind Book & Fiber says, “’Monkey with a Tool Belt’ is one of our very favorite read-aloud storybooks, and we are excited to have Chris here in Spooner.”

The author will read from her books starting at shortly after 11 a.m. She will then be available to sign all her picture books, which also include “Monkey with a Tool Belt and the Noisy Problem,” “Sneaky Sheep” and, just released, “Monkey with a Tool Belt and the Seaside Shenanigans.”

The event will be held in the store, and attendees should plan to arrive a little early, since Walnut Street will be blocked for Jack Pine Savage Days sidewalk sales on that day.

Local author Peter Hubin will also be signing his books at Northwind Book & Fiber in downtown Spooner, Friday, Aug. 5, during the Jack Pine Savage Days sidewalk sale. He will have his books “Barefoot Boy” and “The General’s Den” as well as his newest book, a sequel to “The General’s Den.”

It’s now history

After months of planning, the 100th Washburn County Fair has come and gone. The special exhibits have been dismantled and the fair buildings that were filled with fairgoers and exhibitors are now empty.

The Trcka collection of John Deere tractors has all gone home.

For those of you that stopped by the Washburn County Register/ICCPA booth in the commercial building during the four-day event, I thank you. It was nice to visit with you.

When it was decided that the Register would be a participant in the fair, plans were made for our display. Our commercial printing department created some visuals showing what our company is about. They also designed the commemorative fair scratch pads that were given away.

Advertising sales rep Jackie and hubby Rod, staff members Diane and Jessica were available throughout the fair to greet those that stopped by our area.

Charlotte Thompson approached me prior to the fair to see if I would consider being a judge at Sunday’s talent show. I was honored that she would consider me but I felt that Milt would be better qualified than I. Milt joined the other judges, Steve Carlson and Janet Medley, to critique and pick the most talented performers in each age category.

As I reflect on the time spent as a first-time exhibitor in the commercial building, I feel that some of us were strangers when the fair began on Thursday but by the time the fair ended on Sunday we left feeling more like friends and family.

Homecoming, already?

SHELL LAKE — Homecoming, already? No, we are not kidding! Time sneaks up on us and September will be here before you know it.

The Shell Lake Education Foundation invites you and your classmates, family, and friends to the thirdannual event following the Friday, Sept. 23, homecoming football game against Frederic. The homecoming event will be held in the 3-12 Commons. SLEF is thrilled to once again offer their signature raffle item, a custom-designed homemade Laker quilt. Everyone is invited to stop by and take a look at the popular chance raffle that featured over 60 items last year. Back again, by popular demand, will be a collection of past Shell Lake High School photos. Shell Lake citizens have enjoyed looking for pictures of themselves, classmates, old and new teachers, family members … and relive the glory days. New this year, if you have pictures you would like us to copy and add to the collection, please contact Tamara Smith at 715-468-4424. Not many things in life are free; however, in an attempt to make the community event even more successful, the SLEF has dropped the admission charge. The event will be open to guests during and after the football game to accommodate people not wanting to attend the game due to weather or other concerns. Watch for additional information throughout the summer. Meet the SLEF board members at their Town and Country Days booth, learn more about them by clicking on their link on the Shell Lake School District Web site, or visit them on Facebook. They look forward to meeting you soon. — from SLEF

This group has become close friends who share laughter as easily as they share tears. “This is the only place others can relate to what I’m going through and I no longer feel isolated. I know others are going through the exact thing I am.” This is the place that whatever they say remains in that room because confidentiality is sacrosanct as far as they’re concerned.

Networking is also part of the support group where information is shared, such as whom to go to if there is a problem or concern with the nursing staff. They also hear guest speakers like lawyers, dietitians and even the funeral home. Soon a representative of the Benedictine Health System who recently purchased the nursing home will attend to share their vision for the future.

The Shell Lake Lions Club hopes you’re enjoying your summer as their 60-plus members are. The club has been very active the last few months, trying to turn the profits from their fundraising events into meaningful projects that help our residents and guests with either a better Shell Lake experience or perhaps a better quality of life.

The club has been processing several requests from deserving members of our extended Shell Lake family that are having either hearing or vision issues, gifts many of us tend to take for granted. Meeting requests, or helping those who suffer from a house fire are the highest priority for the club.

Another project that reaches a more broad spectrum of our community is the beautiful flower baskets that decorate our Main Street and the lakefront, a project we organized and was made possible by donations from residents and guests honoring someone important to them in their lives. You have to admit, the city would not look nearly as good without them.

Other examples of where our funds have gone lately were a fundraising chili dinner, complete with music, held for the Shell Lake Education Foundation and a nice donation to the Shell Lake Arts Center, a vital and vibrant addition to our city, especially during the summer months. Perhaps one of the more significant projects the Lions helped fund was the new boat dock on the city’s lakefront. The $3,000 donation from the club made this dock, which has both rental slips for boats and courtesy slips for shortterm mooring, will hopefully be an asset to the city

Take a second test drive of the all-new 2012 Ford Focus and they would donate an additional $10, up to $2,000.

This was the second event that Link Ford & RV, Minong, has sponsored, raising $14,000 so far for the Northwood/Solon football program and Spooner High School basketball program. They will be hosting another event Friday, Sept. 30, at the Northwood High School parking lot in hopes of raising another $8,000 for Northwood’s sports programs. — submitted

The group is led by Dr. John Bowman, who spent his career as a psychologist for children and adolescents.

That is, until his own mother started her eight-year journey into the disease. He went back to school to study gerontology and dementia so he comes to the group not only as a professional, but a former caregiver.

If you think that you would like to attend a meeting, there is not only room for you, but there’s also juice, coffee and great cookies. The conference room is across the hall from the elevator in the basement of the Spooner hospital. If you’re dealing with someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s, there’s a room full of people waiting to meet you and to share their stories.

for many years to come.

Your Lions have also donated $2,500 toward the victims of the storm damage through the Midwest and several members even made the trip down to these disaster areas to assist those who are really in need.

They also provided two scholarships for graduating Shell Lake High School seniors.

Many Lions members have worked hard to make these donations a reality, but the club recently honored a long-time member, Bob Krueger, with the coveted Melvin Jones Award. This prestigious award that’s given out every few years goes to a member who goes beyond the call of duty in the work they put into making your Lions Club the success it is. Once again, congratulations, Bob! As you can see, the club’s been busy and, to be honest, our revenue for more worthy projects of this type could use some help and you’re in a position to provide it. The club will be sponsoring a fresh Lake Superior whitefish fish fry the evening of Saturday, Aug, 6, between the hours of 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. The all-youcan-eat event, featuring the highly prized Lake Superior whitefish, was made available to the club through a contact with one of the few commercial fishing licenses left on Lake Superior. It should be a great meal and your attendance can help make it a success. The location of the fish fry will be the Shell Lake Community Center which, appropriately, was funded and built by the Shell Lake Lions Club and donated to the city many years ago. We hope to see you there!

ST. JUDE’S NOVENA

I’ve always admired newspaper columnists who

write every day as to how they come up with ideas or incidents upon which to base their writings. I don’t write every day, in fact I looked for my column in last week’s Register only to find there was none. I thought I sent one in to be published only to realize from Suzanne Johnson at the Register that the last one was published two weeks ago. Keeping my eye on the ball as always I figured I should write something just to keep my name being circulated. And lo and behold I fell over a national tragedy right here in our backyard.

Well not really our backyard but close enough. Coming down from Spooner last week and passing the set of buildings on the left side of Hwy. 63, I looked to my left and somehow my eyes were drawn to the set of three flags between the buildings and the road. How many times have I passed that landmark? This was the first time I noticed that the American flag was exactly the same height as the other two flags on the flag’s left side. I spoke with a manager of the building and he commented that other people have made the same comment but that he couldn’t get an answer as to the correct procedure. Wow, I thought what a great idea for a Shell Lake Happenings column.

So contacting a gentleman from the American Legion Post in Shell Lake, Mr. Elmer Anderson, and he graciously secured a 16-page booklet titled “Let’s Be Right on Flag Etiquette.” This little booklet addresses any question regarding our flag. This particular publication was distributed in 2002 so there may be a revised edition. The one answer relevant to the above incident does not specify any set distance that the American flag must be above the other flags except that it must be a distance noticeably higher than any other flag and the American flag must be on the right side of the other flags. When you are looking at the flag it should be on your left. Flags of other countries in peacetime can be flown at the same height.

Included in this pamphlet is the correct way to fold the flag – which we all have seen at military funerals – how it should be shown when on a cable or rope across the street

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us.

Say this prayer 9 times a day, 8 days later your prayers will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised.

Paternal grandparents are Mark and Joni Parker, Shell Lake. Great-grandparents are Jim and Ruth Swan, Cumberland, and Donna Parker, Shell Lake.

and whether the street runs north to south or east to west, on a speaker’s platform, the size and width of the stripes relative to the stars, what and how you can wash or dry clean, when it first was displayed and, since we have a container here in the city, how the flag is to be retired. In case you have not read about this service, there is an old mailbox painted white on Main Street on the northwest corner of the public library where flags are accumulated and the American Legion and Boy Scouts, in a formal ceremony, burn the flags on Flag Day, June 14. According to Elmer every time that bin is opened there are quite a few flags ready for disposal.

There are many other interesting notes and questions included in this flag publication that I will write about in my next article, things like where did the 21gun salute come from — originally a 21-cannon salute — who and when is eligible for that salute, how to explain the pledge to small children or possibly new citizens, and give a good way to appreciate the reciting of the pledge to the flag.

••• Oh yes, the lake level reading was 1,218.18 feet but the recent rains put at least another three-fourths of an inch in the bucket … the temp in my portion of the bay is 76 degrees.

••• Two days from today, the Register distribution day, will be the day I’ve talked about for the past two months. This Saturday at the Shell Lake airport we will celebrate Young Eagles Day. Private pilots and members of the Environmental Aircraft Association, will be using their own aircraft and gasoline to fly youngsters ages 6 to 14. Whoever is flying must have a parent or guardian sign a release for the 15minute flight. The hours are planned for noon to 2 p.m. but if there are kids still waiting, they will extend the times. Their names will be registered in the books in Oshkosh, home of the EAA. I am surmising this but since these pilots belong to the EAA, I would guess that the planes they will be flying were built by the pilots themselves.

by Jack Neely, Shell Lake A medium-dark swatch of royal blue is the darkest of the colors known as azure. It is said to promote stability and calmness. And my royal blue disposable cup, coated with a thin coating of clear sticky pest repellent did just that for my recent bike ride around Shell Lake.

Royal blue is the deerfly’s color of choice. So use it to your advantage if you are a walker or bike rider — if you can handle quizzical looks of others.

If you find a herd of the little buggers on your propane tank, check for a leak as they like the smell.

by Jessica Beecroft SPOONER — The new Spooner Department of Natural Resources headquarters building is beginning to take shape off of Hwy. 70. Despite the critics accusing the DNR of spending millions on a building, yet cutting back hours for some staff, the building is being paid for completely out of a separate budget through the state’s administration of finance. Those funds were appropriated back in 2007 and stay with the project, according to regional Conservation Warden Dave Zebro.

“We’re dealing with two different pots of money.” The money cannot to be moved into operative fund balance to pay for staffing.

“The budget woes came about after all of the planning had been set in place,” said Zebro. Some staff had retired and the DNR office did not fill those positions.

“When it came right down to it, no one was laid off.”

According to Zebro, “The budget for this building was approved about four years ago. It was commissioned through the state, governor and the building commission and so on, to have a building that is more efficient for heat, electricity and the whole gammut.” The new building costs close to $5 million.

Kathy Bartilson and Deb Benson currently work out of the DNR headquarters in Spooner. Bartilson has worked in the old building since 1980. “I’m going to miss this place,” Bartilson admits. “When they evaluated what it would take so that all our staff would fit in it and to bring it up to a more efficient standard of heating and

Benson speaks about how the new building will be more energy efficient.

“The whole idea and the purpose of it (the new building) was that it will be lead certified which means it’s going to be energy efficient which will save money on heating and cooling in the future. We’re going to be going from an office space to a cubical.”

The project started in October of 2010 and was supposed to be completed by this November, but the building itself will be ready to move in by December of this year or early January of 2012. The project will

She loves to swim, read, participating in her church “Kids for Christ“ group and participating in Prairie Fire Theater. She is a member of the Girl Scouts and Special Olympics where she won a bronze medal in the softball throw and a silver medal in the 50-meter dash.

Although you see Emily doing lots of activities, her favorite thing to do is stay in her PJs on Saturdays.

The Miss Shell Lake pageant will be held on Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Shell Lake High School. Three ladies are participating this year.

100th Washburn County Fair offered a variety of events

Dominic and Olivia Ricci show their excitement as Chance Kidder hooks a big fish in the fishing booth at the Washburn County Fair.

Four-year-old Isabelle Pechacek got the opportunity to meet Capt. Jerry Christman of the Spooner Police Department. The SPD and Washburn County Sheriff’s Department were on hand to help build trust with area youth.

Austin Schultz handled his 1,200-pound steer in the show ring. The many hours they put into their projects comes down to just a few minutes in the ring.

Caitlyn Schaefer puts her horse through its paces at the horse show on Saturday afternoon, July 30.

The horse project is the most popular among the 4-H and FFA members.

Jessica Colbert spent over 10 hours decorating her cake for the fair. She used the 100-year celebration as a theme for her project.

Tansy Pocernich took a first and grand champion with her llama.

It was a big weekend for Katie Crosby of Twin Valley 4-H as she took grand champion in beef and dairy with her cattle. She is a sixth-grader in Shell Lake.

In her first pull, 2-year-old Josie Crosby, Shell Lake, could care less if she won or lost, she was just having fun as was the audience watching her at the fair.

The mudders win, in this case it was the Shell Lake State Bank with a first place in the tug-of-war. This one-time popular event was brought back for the 100-year celebration of the Washburn County Fair. From the attendance this year, this event might be added in future years, of course playing in the mud made it a fun event.

This catamaran flipped over, sending its two-man crew into the water. There was little the crews could do in the sudden storm. The day started out with blue skies and a nice wind for sailing. At the completion of the second race the storm hit, about half the boats made it safely to shore but those boats still in the race were too far out and had to ride the storm out upright or capsized.

Two catamarans racing on Shell Lake Saturday, July 30, as part of the Broken Rudder Wisconsin/Minnnesota Challenge. Eighteen catamarans, doublehulled sailboats, took up the challenge.

The pace boat quickly turned into a rescue boat as it checked up on the catamarans that had tipped over. This catamaran has turned completely over and its mast is stuck in the mud.

This two-man catamaran crew waits out the storm that arose suddenly on Saturday, July 30, during the Broken Rudder Challenge.

Hiking out to get the full use of the winds and sails in competition helps to keep the boat flat; this is not easy and requires physical stamina of the twoman crew.

July is gone and we are into August already. Yes and it’s great! We’ve had a good inch of rain for out thirsty crops and that’s good to think about. We see stores advertising for school already from clothes to school supplies. It’s still about four weeks away, so I hope our students are enjoying themselves.

celebrate their birthday Aug. 10.

It’s really sad to close a big hospital isn’t it? Yes, we find Walter Reed is now closing with patients going to other hospitals.

We also find that some of our U.S. post offices are closing due to not enough business.

My sister tells me that in Milwaukee they are closing quite a number of schools.

Yes, Dot Gudlin says they just can’t afford to keep them open.

We have some upsetting news this week. Yes, my favorite sister, Marie Quam, was getting milk out of the builk tank and the ladder slipped and she fell on her left wrist and broke it. I’m sure she’s very disgusted about this but hey, we all need rest in our lives, don’t we? So she will be off the barn list for a while.

Betty and Carl Meister went to Betty’s 50th class reunion held at Lakeview Bar and Grill a couple of weeks ago. Betty says it was really enjoyable. But she says 10 classmates have died.

All a person sees on TV lately is over the government’s decision of how to keep going and not broke. One of the first things they could do is all Congress refuse their paychecks. I’m anxious to see where they will cut as they have Social Security and Medicaid on the first to go. It seems they pick on the retirees too much.

Dave Toll spent the weekend with his pa. Tammy Moe, who takes care of Jim, put in a huge garden and is busy canning beans, freezing peas and next is pickles.

Good for you, Tammy.

The next Dewey Township Board meeting is Aug. 16. Everyone welcome.

Tyler and Katie Ann Crosby entered 14 animals at the Washburn County Fair.

Katie took grand champion on her beef and Tyler took reserve champion. Chad and Ashley, Chase and Morgan were home for the weekend at Beth and Garry Crosby’s and the Doug Coyours. Chad was at the fair on Saturday evening to help The Farmers, which was the name given to their tug-o-war team. Understand the tug-o-war was great. Get-well wishes go out to Beth Crosby who has a

terrible cold. Please keep her in your special thoughts and prayers.

Lyle Atkinson held his family reunion at his place Saturday. He gets the meat and prepares it while the rest come bringing potluck. Am told there were lots and lots of family there. Sharon, Jim’s niece, from Chicago, was up with her family for a week renting a house in Shell Lake and visiting around the neighborhood.

Saturday, Richy was to go over to the Quam brothers, Jim, Mike and Gene, to finish up their big bales of second crop.

But the nice rain we got about noon took care of everything.

News from Diane Hulleman finds it was Katie Schnell’s birthday on Saturday so her mom, Ginny Schnell, had Diane down for the day enjoying a boat ride on their pontoon and later they had chicken on the grill complete with cake and ice cream. Diane came home about 10:30 p.m.

Saturday and said it was lightning all around her. This past week Tom and Cathy Gunthrie who live on Bashaw Lake had Diane down for dinner.

Our Dewey Country weatherman, Marv Knoop, tells us so far in July we’ve had 5.7 inches of rain. It doesn’t seem like it though.

We’ve had such hot, humid weather the past two weeks even my little Rory doesn’t want to go outside. He’s out and right back in. When I go out to pick my raspberries he usually comes and plays. But lately he whines about staying outside.

Karen Vanderhoof tells us she’s busy with her garden and also haying. Saturday, Doug and Karen took in the horse show at the Polk County Fair in St. Croix Falls to watch their niece trying to bring home the trophy. Her niece needed six points to become a champion. Good for her.

Sunday was fellowship Sunday at Cecil and Evelyn Melton’s. Attending were Robin Melton, home for the weekend; Vicki Trott and Jeff and Peggy Vesta and son Don Lane. Cecil isn’t feeling too good at this time as he has ehrlichiosis. He’s just

Sympathy to the family of Marcia (Schaffer) Johnson, 57, who passed away at Cumberland hospital. Funeral services were held at Augustana Lutheran Church in Cumberland on Wednesday, Aug. 3.

Also we remember in prayers the family of Margarette Hanson of Spooner. Her daughter Alice and Jon Simundson of Spooner were former Shell Lake residents.

Jon was pastor of Salem church a few years ago.

This past week was the Washburn County Fair. They had good weather with showers one day. Brian Marschall entered three animals and their 4-H club took their turn at the food stand. Mary Marschall worked one day at the stand.

Mary and John Marschall went to see the Moving Wall at the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery on Sunday morning. I hear that everyone that goes there has a very moving experience.

Visiting Mavis and Roger Flach on Sunday and Sunday night was cousin Ronnie and Bernice Erickson of Greensboro, N.C. They have been here visiting relatives and will be leaving for home on Monday.

Lawrence and Clarice Flach from Cumberland visited Mavis and Roger on Sunday afternoon. Roger has not been well for several weeks. Our prayers are with you Roger.

Curt and Martha Pederson of Hudson

spent the weekend with Peder and Cheri and Steve Minot. Curt was here for a class reunion held at Track’s on Saturday night.

They all attended the fair and they said it was a big crowd.

On Friday Lillian Ullom went to the fair to see the honoring of the 100-year-old residents of Washburn County. One of the ladies worked with Lillian years ago.

Arlys Santiago went to a 14th birthday party for Logan Hile in Haugen Thursday.

Happy birthday Logan. Arlys reported Avis Paulson in Verndale is doing well after her recent heart surgery.

Three of Helen V. Pederson’s granddaughters, Gina White of Stillwater, Minn., Greta Bachinski, and Megan Pederson, both of Eau Claire, came up on Friday night and took Helen out to dinner with them. They left for Solon Springs to stay with Sue and Larry Winner. On Saturday, Greta was guest of honor at a bridal shower at Nicole and Jan Cummings in Superior.

That evening they had a bachelorette party when they went out to eat. On Sunday Megan and Gina stopped to see Helen, and Megan went to see Helen and Warren Quam. Helen had slipped on a ladder last week and broke her wrist. Get-well wishes, Helen.

Gina stopped to see Dottie White here in Shell Lake.

A hug is a perfect gift – one size fits all and no one minds if you return it.

Keep cool and happy.

Kris says she’s been canning pickles and green beans and freezing pea pods, cauliflower and broccoli.

Sunday Kevin Meister spent time with Carl and Betty Meister when they took in the Washburn County Fair.

Talking with Sandy Redding we find out they spent the day with Tim and Kris Redding celebrating Tanner’s birthday.

Barronett by Judy Pieper

I know that we have all been in shock over the tragedy in Norway, and I am sure that most of us have been praying for the families of those who were killed or injured in the bombing and shooting. Terry Goodrich called to let us know that, even though it happened a long way from here, tragedies such as this one impact everyone. You probably know that Terry’s daughter, Tracy, is married to Ole Borkenhagen, who is from Norway. Ole’s father was a politician, his sister was the mayor of a town in Norway, and his niece is presently the mayor of a different town in Norway. Ole’s great-niece, the daughter of his niece who is a mayor, was scheduled to be at the youth political camp that was targeted by the terrorist. Thankfully, something came up and she was unable to attend. The family does know the families of two of the young people who died, and I am sure they appreciate our continuing prayers.

The motorcycle poker run that was held on Saturday and sponsored by Barronett Civic Club members was very well-attended. There were 70 participants who arrived on 42 bikes and in five other vehicles. They started at Barronett Bar, where Beth served a delicious breakfast. From there they rode to Bourbon’s Bar to register for the ride. The rainstorm hit while they were there, so they were delayed about a half hour before they could continue on their way. They then went to Indian Creek, back to Barronett Bar, to

Adventures in Rice Lake, to Spider Lake Resort in Birchwood, to Rummel’s Tap in Sarona, and finished up at Whitetail Ridge Campground where they had supper, listened to live entertainment and drew the winning poker hands. The lucky winners were: third place, Charlie Graetz of Clear Lake; second place, Gary Lindemann of Spooner, and, the lucky first-place winner was Dave Hoyt, also of Spooner.

The poker run participants who were the farthest from home were a couple from Florida who happened to be camping at Whitetail Ridge and decided to join in the fun. Poker run participants are always happy to welcome newcomers.

Another couple who traveled quite a way to participate in the poker run are John and Jackie Graham of Mansfield, S.D. John and Jackie are friends of Dan and Cheryl Jaastad, and have come to Barronett for the poker run every year.

The members of Barronett Civic Club extend gratitude to everyone who participated in the run. The proceeds from the run will be put into the fund to build new bleachers for the community center.

Dan and Cheryl Jaastad and John and Jackie Graham went to Gilligan’s in Chetek on Friday evening. Dan was one of the lucky qualifiers for a cruise that was to be given away by a Rice Lake radio station. He was picked as one of the 10 finalists, and was second to draw his number.

He didn’t win, Cheryl thought that the fifth contestant drew the right number,

RECYCWLEEP GREEN THUMB & FLATSOTS GARDENS & GREENHOUSES

but they had a lot of fun anyway.

Lillianna Florence Herman, daughter of Jeno and Colette, was baptized on Sunday at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Cumberland. Godparents were Spenser Potter and Carrie Herman. Lots of relatives enjoyed lunch and conversation after the baptism at Sharon and Dennis Herman’s home. Congratulations Lillianna. I’m sure the members of St. Anthony’s are happy to welcome you into their congregation.

The Cumberland High School class of 1976 held their 35-year class reunion at Hilltop Retreat on Saturday evening.

There were 51 people there — classmates and their significant others. Sharai Hefty said that the meal, which was a buffet, was wonderful. She also said that she must be getting old because she left while everyone else was still partying. Nah you’re not old Sharai . Just wait until you are attending your 50th.

Actually, that’s the one Duane and I will be attending this year. I graduated from Central High in Madison in 1961. Now, that’s old!

Duane and I had a wonderful supper at Bistro 63 last Wednesday evening. While we were there we ran into Dan and the Texan (sometimes known as Lynn) Hubin.

It was so nice to chat with them for a while. It’s been ages since we’ve seen them. They were there with some friends from New Jersey, Ken and Dawn Schrankel.

There was a retirement party for JoAnn

Jones at Bistro 63 on Wednesday evening, too. JoAnn is retiring from Cumberland hospital after working as a registered nurse and conducting group therapy at the psych ward for the past 23 years.

About 20 co-workers were there to wish her well. Rumor has it that, even though JoAnn is retiring, she is thinking of looking for more work. Everyone enjoyed the food, told lots of stories, and had a great time.

You know that Barronett Lutheran is collecting items to send to our service members overseas. The items will be sent out in about three weeks now, so if you would like to donate anything please contact someone from the church.

You don’t have to be a member of our church to donate things for the soldiers.

One family from Shell Lake is donating quite a few Louis L’Amour books, and we hope they know how much we do, and the soldiers will, appreciate it.

Our sympathy goes out to Alice Simundson on the passing of her mother, Margarette Hanson. Margarette passed away on July 20 at the age of 92.

Our sympathy also goes out to the family of Jack Jerry who passed away in Minnesota this past week.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Stay dry. See you next time.

just come from the veterans cemetery to see the Moving Wall and the names of two classmates engraved on it. It is humbling to think of the 45 years of memories they both sacrificed for all of us.

Jim and Nancy Swanson spent the weekend in the Twin Cities caretaking their autistic granddaughter while daughter Sandy and her husband went on a short vacation.

Gloria Frey and her sister Joann Paulson Haugen, spent a nice lazy two days. They drove up to Washburn, Red Cliff, stayed overnight in Ashland and went up to the Upper Peninsula. Report they really got rain there on Saturday. They came home Sunday.

Dave and Cathy Stodola, Hudson, were here on the weekend. They took his mom, Virginia, to see the Moving Wall on Saturday. Virginia’s sons, Jack and Jim, both served in Vietnam.

Speaking of the Wall, I took it in on Sunday and it is so touching it brings tears to see so many names of the young folks that had given up their lives, if you knew them or not.

Elaine Ryan and Rocky Furchtenicht attended her Weitzenkamp family reunion held Saturday at her uncle and aunt’s, Dennis and Jean Weitzenkamp, at Dodge Center, Minn., and report a good turnout. They watched the lightning all the way home.

There’s a new crop of hummingbirds at the feeder.

They are sure sucking up the nectar.

Last week when Elfreda West and I visited Janet Single at the Spooner Nursing Home, while leaving we saw Jackie Haneche and Jerry Visger and wife Pat out in the gazebo so we stopped and had a great visit with them also.

Thursday I met daughter Mary in Rice Lake. It was her birthday. We took in the Country Lane Pantry and had lunch together and then went to Sara and Kyle’s new place.

Kyle and Amy Schaffer are having a big auction sale at their business place, Americana Times Inc., in Shell Lake on Saturday, Aug. 6.

Coming up this weekend is the 19th-annual Jack Pine Savage Days in Spooner.

The Shell Lake Lions fish fry is Saturday at the community center, so plan to go eat with them.

And enjoy August.

We Weathered The Storm!

542588 50rLp

It is August already. The summer is moving right along and the Washburn County Fair is over, a sigh of relief to many. Exhibits were down but were so nicely displayed and most all the events went on in spite of some rain. The fireworks were canceled Saturday night but we had beautiful natural fireworks to replace it.

It was so nice to have rope pulling, slipper kicking and clothespin-toss events again.

Of the six teams, Sarona’s Hansen’s Concrete Team took second but did a rematch and won big time, but that didn’t count.

Virginia Stodola and I were reminiscing about the Sarona women’s team in 1963. I didn’t participate because my Mary was born July 28 but the gals that pulled were Virginia Stodola, Mavis Schlapper, Evie Campbell and the late Frenchy Roeser, Margaret Crotteau and LaVerne Stephen. It made memories.

I enjoyed taking a turn in the Little Red Schoolhouse just visiting with and meeting new folks like Jim and Claran Ramsdell, a retired principal of Chippewa Falls.

He was a Spooner High School student in the 1940s and his late mother, Hazel Ramsdell, was a fourth-grade teacher in the Shell Lake school system in the 1960-1970 era. She taught my kids. Don’t remember which ones.

Thanks to Charlotte Thompson for the cookies she gives to each of use as a thank-you for taking a turn watching over the schoolhouse. So nice of her.

Some very special folks have left us and have memorial services this week. Kenny Sandridge, 68, Sarona, John Kunz, 56, formerly of Sarona, and Marcia Johnson, 57, Shell Lake. They were all too young. Kenny’s memorial service was Monday, Aug. 1, at Appleyard’s in Rice Lake.

John lost his battle with cancer. A celebratory wake will be held at the V&M Bar on Wednesday from 3-6 p.m., just down the road from where he grew up. He was a world traveler and book writer and leaves many friends worldwide.

Marcia (Schaffer) Johnson, well known and loved by all who knew her, also died after battling cancer. She was a sister to West Sarona’s Butch Schaffer.

Sarona folks extend their condolences to their loved ones.

Nancy and Russ Furchtenicht attended her 35-year class reunion held at Tracks on Saturday night. Teachers attending were Joan Snell, Ray Johnson and John Schnell and spouses, which they enjoyed seeing.

Mavis Schlapper had a good crop of apricots on her tree this year and was sharing them. They were luscious, freestone plum-sized fruit. This is only the second time her tree had beared. Takes heat and no late frosts.

Mavis Schlapper, Marion Reiter and Jan Rath pitched horseshoe singles at the fair Saturday, July 30. They also pitched doubles on Sunday.

Big Ripley News: Did you know even cat hair gets frizzy in high humidity? Folks around Big Ripley Lake enjoyed the warm (hot) weather and many activities in town this week.

Les and Sandy Vogt stopped at the Spooner Ag Station to see the flowers, fruits and vegetables and had a personal tour and visit with the student caretaker. They had

541931 39b 50r

by Nancy Jappe Special to the Register HERTEL - John Helstern, owner with his wife, Deanna, of the new Thirsty Minnow Bar, hopes his string of luck has turned in a positive direction. He's had enough trouble so far this year, starting with a fire April 18 that gutted the bar building.

Then came the July 1 straight-line-wind storm that caused $26,000 in damage on the Helstern property along Hwy. 70. The grand opening of the bar, scheduled for that weekend, had to be canceled.

According to Helstern, all kinds of damage was done on the property - a window broken, the roof taken off one side of the liquor store, a sign torn down, loss of a 20 x 30-foot tent, to name just a few of the damages.

And the power was off for a total of 43 hours.

"We are in full operation now," Helstern said in a phone conversation Tuesday, Aug. 2. The grand opening of the Thirsty Minnow Bar is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 6, from 1-4 p.m. There'll be a pig roast, free food and drawings for prizes, lots of things to tempt people to stop and see what the Helsterns have to offer.

With the bar and liquor store open, the Helsterns are turning their attention to another project - the building of a campground on the property.

July 25 - Knapweed control volunteers Deborah Healy of Minong and Joan Quenan of Shell Lake met at the Shell Lake Monarch Butterfly Habitat to clear part of area two and three of spotted knapweed, an invasive species. Four 39-gallon trash bags of noxious weed were removed. Knapweed displaces native plants. To learn more about the risks of spotted knapweed visit the United States Department of Agriculture at http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?sy mbol=CESTM. A few hours later we ventured out to the wild butterfly habitat on the south side of Shell Lake. Walking along the trail, we noticed that the wood-chip path is nearly gone and first-year bramble black raspberry is starting to take over. We also noticed common buckthorn, an invasive species, is starting to take over a woodland native cedar and birch colony. To learn more about common buckthorn visit Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources at dnr.wi.gov/invasives/fact/buckthorn_ com.htm.

After climbing over a downed balsam fir tree and a deciduous tree along the trail, we were well-rewarded with a butterfly habitat in full bloom. It was exhilarating to see the large meadow filled with bracken fern, wild bergamot, black-eyed Susan and blazing star which is about to blossom out. Common milkweed abounded and monarch butterflies flitted about as if they were in the Garden of Eden. Sulphur, buckeye and white butterflies were also present. Joan and Debora gathered hazelnuts and wild bergamot blossoms and leaves.

They will dry the leaves, flower parts and nuts for winter food and tea prepa-

ration. The meadow was alive with murmuring leaves whispering in the breeze and happy buzzing sounds of abundant bumblebees and ever so tiny native bees. While there, volunteers worked at pounding in plant-identification stakes.

July 28 – Jim VanMoorleham of Shell Lake says, “I saw lots of milkweed growing in ditches near Pipestone, Yellow Medicine Creek and Comby, Mich., last week.” He thought perhaps because it was a wet season that mowing roadsides was impractical. I do remember a Michigan highway with no roadside mowing in September during butterfly migration. I wished that Wisconsin would do the same. Dakota Robinson, a Girl Scout member and student in Shell Lake, started a petition to stop roadside mowing along Wisconsin migration routes during the season. She has close to 70 signatures so far.

July 29 – Ryan Conner, Hayward, Jim VanMoorleham, Shell Lake, and Deborah Healy, Minong, worked at the Monarch Butterfly Habitat in Shell Lake to clear habitat of blooming invasive spotted knapweed. We filled four 39gallon black trash bags within one hour.

There is lots of knapweed still growing wild in area three. By end of season we hope to have this area of the memory tree grove cleared of knapweed.

Area one and two have been maintained by Ryan for the past four years. He has these sections in good shape because of his diligence in ridding the habitat of the noxious weed.

July 30 – Happy Tonics is now partnered with Polli-

Wild bergamot.

nator Partnership of San Francisco, Calif. The 2011 national bee count at the Monarch Butterfly Habitat in Shell Lake and at the Hospitality House in Minong allowed us to photograph native bees including bumblebees. Individuals throughout the USA and United Kingdom participated in the national bee count on Happy Tonics Facebook page.

Happy Tonics photographs of native bees and documentation are now part of the 2011 bee events gallery at pollin ator.org/npw_photos.htm.

Environmental film fest on Saturday, July 30, in Shell Lake was awesome. Mary Jane West-Delgado, donor from California, left a DVD short film off at Happy Tonics Visitors Center in Shell Lake this past week. A 4.5minute film was shown. It

was the first time we witnessed how the minutes-old larva spits a silk string to a milkweed leaf in order to secure its tiny legs to the leaf. The tiny larva wears a dark helmet, which now has been documented by Mary Jane. It uses its helmet to protect its eyes while it eats its own egg, which is sharp. Eggs are rich in protein. Once the egg is eaten, the tiny caterpillar rids itself of the helmet. The film also showed its tiny heartbeat and beginning of the emerging antennae.

This research is terribly important. I hope between Happy Tonics and Mary Jane we can get this video into the right scientific hands. Happy Tonics has copyright permission to show the film on the Internet and post to Web site, blogs and social networks.

After his crowning, a king commissioned his artists to hang a silver bell in his tower.

“I’ll ring the bell with my hand,” he said, “only when I’m happy.”

Anxiously the people waited for the ringing of the bell, but it was silent for years.

One day, while dying, as some of his weeping subjects surrounded his bed and his palace, he learned that he was loved. Then he rang the bell.

Think of it – a lifetime of unhappiness, because he didn’t know he was loved.

Love brings happiness – to the one who gives it and to the one who receives it. Tell others, “God loves you, and I love you, too.”

Honorees older than the fair

by Suzanne Johnson SPOONER — Although the Washburn County Fair celebrated its 100th birthday Thursday-Sunday, July 28-31, some Washburn County residents achieved that milestone before the fair did.

Honored at the fair were centenarians Hazel Nelson, 103, of Stone Lake; Francis Atchinson, 101, Solon Springs; and Mary Frahm, 101, Spooner.

A special recognition program was held Friday, July 29, to honor the centenarians. Tammy TomSteinmetz, director and supervisor for the Washburn County Unit on Aging, welcomed the honorees and attendees. Tim Brabec, Washburn County supervisor, interviewed and presented a rose along with a certificate signed by Washburn County Board Chairman Fluffy Sather. Terri Reiter provided musical entertainment during the event.

While being interviewed, Nelson shared that at 103 she still drives and when she went to renew her license she asked that it be renewed from only four years but was told it would be renewed for eight more years.

Atchinson commented that she, “... held my own, I’ll tell ya,” in referring to the fact that she came from a family of 10 brothers and four sisters.

She also commented that she picked a lot of blueberries in her lifetime.

Frahm was born in Omaha, Neb., with two women doctors living next door. She loves to cook and bake and since retiring she enjoys going gambling.

Fulton chairs the Shell Lake Town and Country Days, and she has worked with the event for three years. “Town and Country Days would not be possible without the support of the businesses and all the other very dedicated chairpersons of the committee.” she continues, “I am on the Spooner Rodeo committee for my first year, Miss Shell Lake advisor for the third year and an executive Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce member.”
