Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Twelve individuals from area communities traveled 7,500 miles to spread hope, joy, and a helping hand to people in China. The missionary group, comprised of four adults and nine students, was led by Pastor Dan Slater and organized through the Shell Lake Full Gospel Church.

“We don’t just do it to make it a trip, it is by no means a field trip. There were things where they (the students) were challenged spiritually,” explained Slater. From Wednesday, July 16, to Thursday, July 31, the group attended an international Christian conference in Hong Kong and assisted other missionaries in mainland China. Slater has been involved with missions programs for over 20 years. In that time his experiences have shaped his purpose for the missions trips he takes. A purpose that has become one of spreading the message of Christianity by providing hope, joy and a helping hand. Young people have recently become a part of missions trips because, as Slater explained, the trips provide students with perspective and an opportunity to see firsthand what the church supports, connecting them to the church’s mission.

“Every time I go on a missions trip, it is a reminder of how much I take for granted, like cold water or bathrooms,” said Katie Slater, Dan Slater’s daughter. Katie has been on two other mission trips, one to Russia and one to Haiti. On this trip the group spent the first five days in Hong Kong as the first delegation of missionaries from America to participate in an international Christian conference called Gateway GPS, or go, partner and serve.

“There were over 900 mainland Chinese at this conference and they were able to go to church like we would go to church and worship freely,” said Slater. China, as a communist country, does not allow its citizens to practice religion freely but Hong Kong operates autonomous of mainland China. Many other cultures were present at the conference but their purpose was all the same, to grow and share the Christian religion.

“As outsiders coming in we were watched. If they see us going somewhere, we were watched

As Westerners and Americans in China, the group stood out and experienced firsthand the many differences between the cultures. They were photographed constantly because they were different, had to adjust to the food and a general lack of personal space.

“There is a slight disregard for people around them so it is not like organized lines to go somewhere ... there is a mob around somewhere and everyone just pushes to get to where they want to go,” explained Katie.

From the conference in Hong Kong the group took a 24-hour train ride to Beijing followed by a two-hour drive to Langfang where they stayed with missionaries Mike and Lisa Haller at the boys orphanage they operate.

The Hallers, originally from Trego, operate the orphanage that is home to eight Chinese boys

“That was one of the most touching parts because they have been given up but all these boys still have this sense of joy and love. When we were with them they would just laugh and smile and it’s so touching to know they still feel those emotions even through all the hardships they have gone through,” said Amy Bouchard.

While in Langfang the group toured other orphanages, played with the foster boys at the Hallers’, cooked, cleaned and generally helped out. Despite knowing they were under surveillance they never felt that their security was threatened, and they walked away with memories and an experience of a lifetime.

“It was really encouraging because it is really easy to see all the bad that is happening in the world ... but going there and seeing that God’s hand is not just in the U.S., it is everywhere,” said Katie. The group was also able to get in some sightseeing while in China, touring the Great Wall of China, the Temple of Heaven and Tiananmen Square.

The cost of the trip was funded through bake sales, car washes and some contri-

Church rezoning request denied Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake City Council heard many citizen comments and held an in-depth discussion regarding a recommendation to approve a rezoning request from the Shell Lake Full Gospel Church during their regular monthly meeting on Monday, Aug. 11.

The church’s request was to rezone church-owned property at 100 Reinhart Drive from single-family residential, R-1, to multifamily residential, R-2, in order to build two senior homes. Twelve concerned community members appeared for the meeting. Those assembled consisted of neighbors to the property considered for the rezoning request. Chuck Adams explained that the church’s plan is to build a two-bedroom and a one-bedroom duplex for the elderly on the property’s southwest corner. The church had

purchased the property thinking it was zoned for R2, but found out the property is zoned R1, resulting in the rezoning request.

“I am concerned of what will happen in the future once it is R2,” said Rebecca Vogel. Vogel submitted a petition with 31 signatures from surrounding property owners requesting the council deny the request. An in-depth discussion took place primarily around the city’s legal responsibility to follow zoning regulations, the weight the petition should have on the council’s decision, and the church’s lack of a detailed plan for the property.

The rezoning request failed on a tie vote with council members Chad Shelton, Dan Harrington and Tara Burns voting against. Council members Mike Andrews, Brent Edlin and Ken Schultz voted in favor. Andrew Eiche, city administrator,

explained that city code dictated the motion required three-fourths of the council to approve it because 20 percent of the neighboring property owners had signed the petition.

In other council business a recommendation to perform several rehabilitation projects at the airport using entitlement funds was approved on a voice vote. The funds will be used to repair frost heave damage to a section of the runway, seal coat, re-mark and purchase a supplemental wind cone. The entitlement funds will cover about 90 percent of the cost of the repairs. Mitch Brown, public works director, stated that the city crew would carryout the labor on the project.

• Dave Wilson, Shell Lake Chief of Police, reported that the department had received up to $4,000 in grant funding for the purchase of some equipment for the

department.

• Mike Andrews, Ward 1, gave a report about the first official Shell Lake Community Center committee meeting. Andrews was elected as chair of the committee and said that the committee had discussed the many options available. That committee will meet again in September.

• Recommendations for the campground-parks manager agreement and position salary range were both approved on voice votes.

• A recommendation giving Eiche, as city administrator, the authority to seek quotes on having a physical needs assessment performed on all city-owned facilities was approved on a voice vote.

Social media credited with arrest in local business theft

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Social media played a major role in bringing the robbers of the Lakes Community Co-op in Stone Lake to justice.

The Stone Lake grocery store was robbed by two individuals on Sunday, Jan. 26, but they were just recently identified through tips received from photos

posted to the sheriff’s office Facebook page and shared through social media.

On Thursday, July 31, Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden posted a message on the Washburn County Sheriff Office’s Facebook page thanking members of the social media community by identifying the suspects in the crime.

The robbers have been identified as

Todd Secord and David Snyder, both of Minnesota. According to Dryden, Secord is currently serving prison time in Minnesota but will be extradited to Wisconsin to face the felony theft charges brought against him for committing the robbery.

Snyder will not face charges as he has died of an undisclosed medical condition.

“If not for all the tips and information

provided by you folks this would probably still remain unsolved … We are pleased to see that this case will hopefully be resolved yet this year. Still lots of work to do yet, extraditing Secord back to Wisconsin is the first priority. Thank you again on behalf of the store victimized and this office,” wrote Dryden.

Minong man escapes vehicle fire with minor injuries Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer TREGO — A vehicle fire caused minor injuries to the sole occupant and driver on Tuesday, Aug. 5.

According to an incident notification from the Spooner post of the Wisconsin State Patrol, at approximately 11:29 a.m., John Danielson, 52, Minong, was southbound on Hwy. 53 in a 2013 Ford F250 pickup truck when he saw smoke in his

rearview mirror coming from landscaping blankets in the truck box. Danielson pulled off the roadway, exited the truck and attempted to put the fire out, but the vehicle became engulfed in flames.

The Wisconsin State Patrol, Washburn County Sheriff’s Office and the Spooner Fire District responded to the scene. The right lane of traffic on Hwy. 53 southbound by Ross Road in Trego was closed

for approximately 40 minutes while the Spooner Fire District put out the fire and the scene was secured.

Danielson suffered minor injuries in the incident but the vehicle was totaled.

Wisconsin’s only report card accesses state competitive position

NOTE: For the 15th consecutive year, WISTAX researchers have prepared an annual report card assessing state performance on 33 measures ranging from state finances and tax burden to school outcomes and firm creation.

Over the past five years, per capita personal income increased faster in Wisconsin than nationally. However, venture capital payouts here continue to lag the U.S.

STATEWIDE - Students received their report cards more than a month ago. Now it’s the state’s turn.

Wisconsin’s only report card, Measuring Success: Benchmarks for a Competitive Wisconsin, assesses Wisconsin’s competitive position versus neighbor states and the nation on 33 measures ranging from state finances and tax burden to student outcomes and firm creation. Benchmarks is prepared annually

by WISTAX for Competitive Wisconsin Inc., a nonpartisan consortium of leading state citizens.

Tracking state income A major focus of Benchmarks is economic performance. Over the past five years, personal income per person grew faster in Wisconsin, 11.4 percent, than nationwide, 9.0 percent. That helped close the gap by which the state trailed the nation from 3.9 percent in 2011 to 3.1 percent in 2013. Badger State income, $43,149, is still below the national, $44,543.

Part of the reason for lagging personal income is average earnings, which, at $48,997 was 10.4 percent below U.S. levels, $54,681 in 2012. Wisconsin earnings were also below the averages in Michigan, Minnesota and especially Illinois, but still led Iowa by a slight margin.

Unlike per capita income, median

household income in Wisconsin, $53,079, was 4.0 percent above the U.S. median of $51,017. Over the five years ending in 2012, it increased 3.5 percent here versus 1.6 percent nationally. Wisconsin fares better on this measure than on per capita income because a higher share of women are employed here than elsewhere.

Points of pride Quality-of-life measures have often been an area of state strength over the report card’s 15 years. For example, lack of health insurance coverage is lower here, 9.7 percent, than nationally, 15.4 percent.

Home ownership in Wisconsin remains higher than the U.S. average, 68.5 percent versus 65.1 percent. However, despite recording a one-point uptick over the prior year, it remains lower than in the surrounding states, save Illinois, 67.2 percent.

Safe streets and good schools are points of pride for many Wisconsinites. The number of violent crimes per 100,000 residents was well below the national norm, 281 versus 387, however, in a new development, the state’s crime rate rose noticeably in 2012, from 250 in 2011.

Average college entrance exam scores reported for 2013 were about 7 percent higher here than nationally, and, in the region, only Minnesota was higher, by about 4 percent. High school graduation rates for entering ninth-graders were not only much higher here, 86.2 percent, than nationally, 70.1 percent, but also surpassed all four surrounding states.

However, the share of state population with bachelor’s degrees, 27.1 percent, though rising for the past five years, remained below the U.S., 29.1 percent. In the region, Wisconsin’s percentage led Iowa, 26.3 percent, and Michigan, 26.0

percent, but trailed Illinois, 31.6 percent, and Minnesota, 33.2 percent.

Business climate?

Of particular interest in any study of competitiveness is the state business climate and especially the rate at which private firms are spawned, a key driver of job creation. After dropping in 2009 and 2010, the number of Wisconsin firms grew over the following two years. In 2012, the increase was 1.1 percent, well above the U.S., 0.6 percent, but below the surrounding states, except Michigan, minus 1.3 percent. The increase was largest in Iowa, 1.9 percent.

One important factor in firm creation is the availability of capital. At $12.75 per worker, disbursement of venture capital in the Badger State was lower than for the U.S., $215.34, and the four surrounding states, whose rates ranged from $14.74 in Iowa to $96.85 in Minnesota.

Research and development is also important for generating new products and businesses. As a share of state output, Wisconsin’s investment in R&D, 2.21 percent, was less than the nation’s, 2.86 percent, and less than surrounding states except Iowa, 2.15 percent. At the same time, however, the state produced more doctorate degrees per million residents in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, 88.0, than the country, 79.6, and Minnesota. It was only slightly behind Illinois and Michigan but trailed Iowa by a larger margin, 125.2.

Wisconsin remains one of the nation’s manufacturing leaders with 16.4 percent of 2013 jobs in that sector, a rate almost double the nation’s, 8.8 percent, and higher than all four neighboring states.

Despite a small recessionary dip to 15.8

percent in 2010, manufacturing’s share of state employment has bucked the national trend, rising every year since then.

By contrast, Wisconsin’s share of hightech jobs, 3.6 percent, has changed little since 2008 and lags the U.S., as well as Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota.

State finances One area of competitive disadvantage for Wisconsin has traditionally been the public sector. The share of income going to state and local taxes in 2011, (federal figures usually lag by at least two years,) was about 8.3 percent higher than the U.S. average and above all of the surrounding states except Minnesota, which tied Wisconsin.

State bond ratings were lower than a majority of the 50 states, including Minnesota and Iowa, but surpassed fiscally challenged Illinois. Part of the reason is that Wisconsin’s general fund balance, according to generally accepted accounting principles, remains negative, minus 0.6 percent – lower than all surrounding states except Illinois, minus 1.0 percent.

However, since bottoming out at minus 1.2 percent in 2011, Wisconsin’s GAAP deficit has been shrinking.

Help for voters For those seeking to sort wheat from chaff in the ongoing political ad wars, the 33 benchmarks in Wisconsin’s annual report card provide a wealth of historical and cross-state comparative information.

Armed with these, voters can ask candidates for concrete ideas on how they plan to strengthen the state’s competitive position. – from WISTAX

Letters to the editor Alcohol-related fatalities have dropped in Wisconsin The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has some good news and some bad news to report about drunken driving in our state.

The good news is we’re making longterm progress in preventing drunken driving crashes, fatalities and injuries.

In the past 10 years, fatalities from alcohol-related crashes in Wisconsin dropped from 348 in 2003 to 185 in 2013, which is a 47-percent reduction. Injuries from

alcohol-related crashes dropped from 6,445 in 2003 to 2,660 in 2013, which is a 59-percent reduction. The overall number of alcohol-related crashes dropped from 9,007 in 2003 to 4,945 in 2013, which is a 45-percent reduction The bad news is that even though drunken driving is completely preventable, too many people still get behind the wheel when they’re impaired. Innocent victims are killed or injured nearly every

day because of a drunken driver.

To stop this senseless tragedy on our roadways, law enforcement agencies throughout the state will be out in force from Friday, Aug. 15, through Labor Day for the annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown on drunken driving.

Despite their best efforts, law enforcement officers cannot find and arrest every drunken driver. To reduce drunken driving crashes, we all must make a com-

mitment to never drive while impaired and to stop loved ones and friends from driving when they’re not sober. With everyone’s commitment, we can continue to make progress toward the goal of reducing the number of preventable traffic deaths to zero in Wisconsin.

Mark Gottlieb Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation

Relief for refugees; at home and abroad First I want to give thanks for the safety we enjoy as Americans. I thank God that we are not dodging bombs and bullets with barbarian bullies beating down our doors, hell-bent on killing us. And, we are not wailing in anguish over our own dead children or bleeding spouses. Military might is an awesome blessing that must be deployed properly. It should never be recklessly squandered on imagined dangers or imperial ambitions as so much of that might is simply people, human beings, our sons and daughters.

We owe them.

That said, I cannot imagine the devastating terror of fleeing for my life carrying whatever I could on my back while tugging on children and shouting at them to hurry up, run, look out! My gratitude

would soar and tears of joy would flow should anyone step in to protect us from further danger and provide us urgently needed shelter, respite and sustenance.

Just think about that.

I am happy that our military is being used to relieve the desperate thousands (perhaps more than 100,000 ) who have fled to Mount Sinjar to avoid being slaughtered by religious fanatics, the ISIS gang, now running amok in Iraq.

The plight of the Yazidi refugees is pitiful. Their suffering is immense, and their misery pressing. They fear for their lives.

The least and best we can do right now is to speed relief their way. And our troops are doing that. They are doing the right thing, the compassionate thing.

I hope that we can also find it our hearts

to welcome those desperate mothers and children who present themselves at our southern border. With little more than the clothes they wear, they make the arduous journey, fleeing unspeakable horrors in home countries where violent crime, unbearable poverty, cruel injustice and predatory human traffickers are constant dangers.

They are not seeking to enter the U.S. illegally. Upon finally arriving at our border, they immediately surrender to the authorities. They seek the mandatory court appearance, the notice to appear, and it is scheduled for them. They hope to make a case in court for being granted asylum in our country.

We must have a heart for these poor unfortunates. We can no more turn our backs

on them than we can ignore the refugees huddled high in the Sinjar Mountains.

Our own refugee problem is not about ideology or scoring political points. It’s about humanity, compassion and doing the right thing.

What can we do? We are not powerless.

We can pray and we can contribute money to organizations working on behalf of the refugees. And we can let our representatives in Washington know what we think, and request their support for decency and compassion, as well as common sense, in our immigration policies. Then we can watch the Packers. Go Pack, go.

Spooner Middle School roof reconstruction under way

Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — A section of the Spooner Middle School roof is under reconstruction by Eau Claire contractors Market and Johnson. The roof became damaged over the last weekend in March when warm temperatures combined with the round structure of the Antholz gymnasium roof led to a mass of wet, heavy snow falling

onto a portion of the old roof that then sagged several inches under the weight.

“What they (the contractors) have done is they have raised the existing roof, or built a new roof above it to cut off the distance between the Antholz gym and where it was damaged,” explained Brad Labaree, Spooner Middle School principal.

The construction plan is to build a new

roof above the existing damaged roof.

“They have got a new roof platform, they are completed with that, and they are beginning on the demolition of the existing roof which is now underneath,” explained Labaree. The damage was limited to one section over a hallway that leads to the small gymnasium and the technical education classroom. The target date

for construction to be completed is Friday, Aug. 22, one week before the start of school.

“Everything is going forward, as of right now we are on schedule,” he said. The cost of the reconstruction is being covered by the district’s insurance.

Ward, 51, Clayton, who is facing a charge of solicitation to commit homicide for allegedly trying to hire someone to kill a man she said was abusive in their relationship. According to a criminal complaint, Ward told a male acquaintance that she was trying to get out of the relationship but didn’t want to lose her house.

Also charged is Ward’s son, Aaron S. Holmstrom, 28, Rice Lake, who allegedly offered to drive a getaway vehicle.

Charges were filed in Burnett County because that’s where the alleged conspiracy talk took place.

Wetlands focus of WCLRA annual meeting

SPOONER — Tracy Hames, executive director of Wisconsin Wetlands Association, will talk about the importance of protecting wetlands at the Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association’s annual meeting on Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Spooner Ag Research Center. The event starts at 9 a.m. with a continental breakfast and business meeting, followed by the wetland presentation at 9:30 a.m. After the speaker, there will be a roundtable discussion on issues of importance to attendees.

The meeting ends at 11 a.m. The event is open to the public.

According to the Wisconsin Wetlands Association, over 17 percent of Washburn County is wetlands; that equates to over 100,00 acres of wetlands. Wetlands provide habitat for wildlife, decrease flooding by storing water and remove pollutants while recharging groundwater.

Washburn County Lakes and Rivers Association members are local lake associations and individuals interested in protecting and enhancing surface waters,

groundwater and wetlands in Washburn County. The board meets monthly in Spooner. Their annual meeting is open to anyone wanting to learn more about WCLRA and hear the speaker on the value of wetlands. For more information on WCLRA, contact Craig Walkey, president, at cwalkey@centurytel.net.

Wisconsin Wetlands Association is a science-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection, restoration and enjoyment of wetlands throughout Wisconsin. Much of the work being conducted

by WWA is aimed at helping local governments, communities and individuals do more and better wetlands work. Prior to working for WWA, Hames spent over two decades as the lead waterfowl biologist and wetland restoration practitioner for the Yakama Indian Nation in eastern Washington state. Hames holds a bachelor’s degree from Macalester College and a masters degree in wildlife ecology from UW-Steven’s Point. — from WCLRA

Railroad Memories Museum is popular summer attraction SPOONER — It has been a busy season at Railroad Memories Museum in Spooner so far this summer, including a record number of visitors stopping by during rodeo weekend at both the museum and the downtown corner brat feed. From this region, visitors at the museum in 2014 have come from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa.

Railroad enthusiasts from all around the country and the world have also journeyed here to explore what Spooner’s

historic depot has to offer. This year they have come from as far away as Virginia, Florida, both North and South Carolina, and New Jersey on the East Coast; Texas and Arizona in the Southwest, California and Oregon on the West Coast, and all the way from Alaska, too.

From other countries so far this year, people have traveled here from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada; Tasmania, Australia; Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In addition, a man who visited from South

Bend, Ind., had a grandfather who once worked on the railroad in India.

The museum’s brat feeds and special events, such as Heritage Day, have been especially well attended this summer.

Coming up on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Railroad Memories Museum will hold a special railroad memorabilia sale fundraiser. Tables of collectible pieces of railroading’s past, history items, model trains and accessories, books, train videos, souvenirs, toys and even some

duplicate donations to the museum will be for sale there that day.

Please note that items from the museum’s permanent collection will not be sold that day, though. They are not for sale at any time. To rent a space and/or table at the RRM Sale, call Betty Jo Brown at 715-635-2752 or the museum at 715-6353325. — from RMM

Washburn County accident report Friday, July 25 At approximately 5:27 p.m., Frederick Benegas, 36, Park, Ill., was northbound on Hwy. 53 in the village of Minong driving a 2004 Ford pickup, when Richard Boop, 75, Gordon, driving a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado pickup, left the stop sign on the east side of Hwy. 53, heading westbound on Hwy. 77. Benegas swerved to avoid a collision with Boop, but collided with Boop at the centerline of northbound Hwy. 53 and Hwy. 77 westbound intersection. Benegas did not appear to have any apparent injuries but his vehicle sustained severe damage to the front, middle, rear and top of the vehicle. Boop received incapacitating injuries in the accident and his vehicle was totaled. Traffic was diverted off of Hwy. 53 for approximately 45 minutes to Business 53. Boop was transported to the Spooner emergency room for treatment of unknown injuries and stated to Washburn County Sheriff’s Deputy Wayne Johnston that he did not see Benegas when he left the stop sign. Boop received a citation for failure to yield in a right-of-way stop sign.

Saturday, July 26 At approximately 12:28 p.m., Arthur Groat, 75, Arnold, Mo., was southbound on Hwy. 53 in the village of Minong driving a 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup when he indicated with his blinker his intention to turn left and began to slow down. Groat then decided to turn right instead of left, crossing the left lane of traffic into the right lane. Daniel Rohner, 30, Lenox, Ill., was also southbound on Hwy. 53 driving a 2003 Toyota four-door vehicle behind Groat. Rohner had changed lanes to pass Groat as he was slowing and indicating a left turn. Rohner veered to the right shoulder of the highway to avoid colliding with Groat, left the highway and struck a utility pole before coming to rest in the ditch. Groat and his vehicle were unharmed in the accident. Rohner received possible injuries and his vehicle sustained severe damage to the front and undercarriage and was towed from the scene.

Sunday, July 27 At approximately 4:24 p.m., Kimberly Stypula, 49, Webster, was westbound on Hwy. 70 driving a 2011 Ford

F150 pickup behind Martin Ingalls, 29, Spooner, in the Town of Evergreen near the intersection of County Line Road. Stypula states in the accident report that she was driving far enough back from Ingalls’ 2003 Chevrolet pickup that was pulling a trailer of furniture. Suddenly a chair left the trailer and fell into the roadway. Stypula was unable to avoid colliding with the chair. Neither driver was injured but Stypula’s vehicle sustained minor damage to the front and undercarriage.

Monday, July 28 At approximately 8:50 a.m., Allen Glaze, 28, Birchwood, was eastbound on CTH D in the Town of Birchwood operating a 1992 HD FXRS motorcycle when a deer ran across CTH D in front of Glaze. Glaze laid the motorcycle down on its side to avoid the deer. The deer continued across the roadway and struck a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica being operated by Joanne Nelson, 41, Birchwood. Glaze was unsure if he made contact with the deer and left the scene immediately but made contact with the responding officer hours later. Glaze received nonincapacitating injuries but the

motorcycle sustained moderate damage to the front, middle and rear. Nelson was uninjured but her vehicle sustained severe damage to the front and middle. Glaze was cited for operating without insurance and operating after suspension.

Monday, Aug. 4 At approximately 6:45 a.m., Darin Stair, 49, Spooner, driving a 2005 Buick Century, was stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of Correll Road and CTH E in the Town of Springbrook when Shana Corbine, 34, Webster, westbound on CTH E attempted to turn south on Correll Road. Corbine, driving a 2007 Dodge Durango, failed to turn into the southbound lane on Correll Road and crashed into Stair. Corbine stated she did not observe Stair before crashing into him. Neither driver was injured in the accident but Stair’s vehicle sustained severe damage to the front and was towed from the scene. Corbine’s vehicle sustained minor damage to the front. Corbine was cited for a suspended driver’s license and inattentive driving.

Summertime fun

S

ales of Twister were slow until Johnny Carson played the game with actress Eva Gabor on latenight TV in 1966. Twister was invented

by St. Paul adman Reyn Guyer. Even though you could create your own game of Lawn Twister, Twister may not be the activity of your choice during the summer months. Perhaps you enjoy having a wheelbarrow or gunnysack race. According to American Profile, in the late 1800s, most college track and field meets included the sack race where competitors put both legs in a burlap sack and hopped or waddled to the finish line.

Summer is the time for children to use their imaginations to come up with activities to fill their carefree days. During his preschool days, my son, Matthew, spent hours driving his car made out of a discarded box. His car was complete with a steering wheel from an old automobile. He even gave rides to his little sister’s doll, making sure she was securely fastened in a plastic infant’s chair.

Oh the places he could go in his makebelieve world. Unfortunately, some older neighborhood kids got jealous of Matthew’s object of entertainment and decided to destroy it one day when he was occupied elsewhere.

Where my grandchildren live, they have the opportunity for the ice-cream truck to add to their summer fun. Adalyn and I were playing in her backyard when we heard the specific music playing that indicated the vehicle with special treats was getting nearby. The truck went past before we had the opportunity to get out of the gate. The tears rolled down Adalyn’s face and she felt bad that we had missed the chance to have an ice-cream treat.

She insisted we play in the front yard.

I’m guessing her thought was then if the

Matthew’s imagination allowed him to enjoy a carefree summer’s day. — Photo by Leo Carlson

truck went by again we would catch it. As we could hear the music playing in the distance, Adalyn decided we should take a walk around the neighborhood. I’m not that gullible of a Grammy, so I made sure I had some cash in my pocket. As we neared the end of the street, not only could we see the ice-cream truck, we also could

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner Sewing by hand Mary B. Olsen, Shell Lake o sew a fine seam is an art. My own sewing is nowhere near artistic.

This is why I admire the beautiful work of people who are able to produce works of art in cloth. There are always some who take to it like a duck to water. These days very few people are interested in

T

sewing. I guess it’s a specialty, rather than a necessity. Not much has changed over the years since I was in high school and throughout my adult life.

In my mother’s and her mother’s generation a woman of the middle or working class had to be a seamstress.

Ready-made clothing was not available. Women had slim wardrobes, quite different from the wide array of clothing a woman has to wear these days.

SHELL LAKE — Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College President Bob Meyer has been named president emeritus by the WITC Board of Trustees. He received this honor at the WITC administrative office in Shell Lake on Monday, July 14. President emeritus is an honorary title bestowed on a president who has served with distinction.

“The WITC Board of Trustees was unanimous in seeking ways to recognize the outstanding work Dr. Meyer has done in his six years as WITC president,” said board Chair Morrie Veilleux. “Previously, the trustees have recognized individuals who have made a great impact on our college. They felt Dr. Meyer’s work the past six years has allowed the college to meet the needs of our residents in an exceptional manner. His administrative and personal skills have assisted the college in achieving national recognition and, more importantly, meeting the educational and training needs of our district’s residents.

He has had a positive and proactive relationship with employees, district residents and locally elected officials both at the state and federal level.”

During Meyer’s time at WITC, the college has been ranked three times in the top 10 among two-year colleges in the nation

by Washington Monthly magazine. He also worked tirelessly to promote technical college education and manufacturing careers throughout Wisconsin.

“It is a distinct privilege to have been honored by the WITC Board of Trustees with president emeritus status,” said Meyer. “I have been incredibly fortunate to have been able to serve as the college’s president and work with a staff and board that are entirely focused on student suc-

cess.”

This award marks a transition for the college. In May, Meyer announced his acceptance of the position of chancellor at the University of Wisconsin - Stout. He will remain with WITC until Friday, Aug. 15.

“Not only has my tenure at WITC been enjoyable, but I’ve also learned so much from my colleagues that I will carry forward in my new role as UW-Stout’s next chancellor,” said Meyer. “WITC will always have a special place in my heart, and I’m genuinely grateful for having had the opportunity to work with and grow with such amazing students and staff.”

“The board of trustees wishes Dr. Meyer well in his new endeavor at UW-Stout,” said Veilleux. “We know he will be a great asset to the UW System and will be bring the same level of integrity, work ethic and student focus. He has helped WITC grow immensely and we are grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him.”

Current WITC vice president, institutional effectiveness, Ellen Riely Hauser, will serve as interim president effective Saturday, Aug. 16, until new college President John Will is able to fill the position on Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Will has served in many capacities with WITC, including as chief operating officer until 2011. In addition to his experience at WITC, he has held positions with such organizations as St. Paul, Minn.-based Springsted as vice president and client representative; chief operating officer with Impact Seven in Almena; and business manager with the Spooner Area School District in Spooner. — from WITC

A woman was expected to clothe her family. The family had dress clothes for church and special occasions. A woman had one or two dressy dresses. She wore pads to protect the fabric from perspiration, and clothing was aired out. Most of the fabrics were not washable. Working men wore overalls and had a suit for church. Children under 2 usually wore dresses. Little girls continued to wear dresses. Children wore play clothes in the summertime. A wife and mother could stitch up these items of clothing during her spare time. Spare time? Most of these women used every minute.

They kept their hands busy. While waiting for food to cook, they would have their mending near and pick it up while they waited. It was an evening chore as well. It was a slower-paced life, but they handled it.

Not only were women up to the task of clothing their families, they were thrifty to a fault. Every scrap of fabric was used for something. When there could be no more patches to save the life of a garment it could be used in many ways.

Heavy fabrics could be sewn together to make a warm comforter to keep their family warm in their beds. Some people think a quilt is to keep people warm.

That is not exactly true. Quilts are made up of three layers, a top that can be made up of blocks with designs in patterns, and a backing and some kind of fill in the middle. It was usually cotton batting, but often a soft, old blanket. They were not warm. They were used on beds in the warmer months because they were light in weight and not as warm as the winter blankets. Comforters were made to be warm. They were made of heavier fabric and, rather than being quilted, they were tied together with bits of yarn.

The world of quilting is fascinating.

We look at the quilts that originated many years before we were born. It is impossible not to marvel at them. Sewn projects are preserved so we can see them. It is amazing to see samples of this intricate and beautifully crafted handiwork completed in Colonial times. Such tiny stitches. Such a combination, you see a blend of fabric and design like the paintings we call old masterpieces. How could women in dimly lit cabins sew

together fragments of cloth and make it a masterpiece? They committed to cloth all colors of the rainbow in fabric.

Women chose patterns handed down to us, things important to their lives.

They made log cabin, wedding ring, stars and floral quilts. They made crazy quilts, irregular pieces of fabric sewn together into blocks and bound. They used patriotic designs, stars and stripes.

Women sewed history into their quilts because they expected them to last. They designed birds and cats and dogs, and children at tasks in the home and at play.

They used geometric shapes and circular patterns. Many people were of European origin so they incorporated their traditional designs into their handiwork.

Using fabric scraps was practical, and working them into pleasing designs was rewarding. A quilt can be on a bed or hung on the wall. Because the quilt is a large project, often many hands are involved in making it. Hand stitching can be slow.

One time I visited an Amish quilt shop in Sarasota, Fla. There, a group of ladies involved in quilting were at work. It was like they were in their own world. Their eyes were on their work. Their needles fairly flew across the fabric, stretched in its frame. Their light conversation, in German, went at a slower pace than their needles. Quilting, for them, was a time of community, being together in company with others.

There is always, in any field, the desire for the latest trend, the use of newer techniques. Much of the quilting now is done by machine. Some are incorporating photographs and natural objects into the designs like feathers, shells and gems. They are works of art. The pleasure of quilting, I find, is in the hand work. The process of working together on something is as important as the finished project.

My mother made a beautiful quilt for me. She sewed many scraps of fabrics from clothing she made for me when I was a child. I told her I loved it, and I was keeping it in the cedar chest. She told me to take it out and use it. She said quilts are made to be used. Like so many of us, I wouldn’t listen to her. I still have it and it’s part of our history.

Potter’s Shed announces biggest weekend of live music of the year SHELL LAKE — The Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake is announcing their biggest weekend of live music of the year. Two national bands will perform at the newly expanded family-friendly venue in the Shell Lake industrial park.

The Grand Slambovians will bring their critically acclaimed show to the Shed on Friday, Aug. 22, at 7 p.m. Formed in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., over a decade ago, The Slambovian Circus of Dreams, aka The Grand Slambovians, pioneered the alt-folk/Americana genre, staying on the fringes of the music industry and under the radar while producing several critically acclaimed studio albums. Their melodic avant-folk conjures a quirkier Tom

Petty or fuller Buffalo Tom with an exotic instrumental arsenal. If you like Dylan, Bowie or The Decemberists, you’ll find a lot to love about this band which features an otherworldly slide mandolin, accordion, cello and styles ranging from dusty Americana ballads to Pink Floydesque cinematic anthems. Headlining major music festivals and venues across the U.S., Canada and U.K., they built their career from the ground up with a loyal fan base supporting them all the way. Fronted by songwriter Joziah Longo (vocals/guitar/harmonica) whose voice is, “Soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic,” says The Big Issue, U.K. and goes on to say, “The entire root system of Rock Family

Trees is embedded in his voice.” The band features guitarist/mandolin player Sharkey McEwen; multi-instrumentalist Tink Lloyd, accordion, cello, uke, theremin and melodica; and Eric Puente, percussion.

The band’s website is slambovia.com.

Horseshoes & Hand Grenades will perform their high-energy music on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 7 p.m. The five-piece band has begun to form a prominent place in the Midwest music scene, gaining recognition on both a regional and national scale. The band took third place at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s band competition in 2012 and has shared the stage with Merle Haggard, the infamous Stringdusters, Yonder Mountain String Band, Charlie Parr, the Big Wu, Pert Near Sandstone and many more. In 2012, the group re-

ceived a nomination for a Wisconsin Area Music Industry Award in the category of Bluegrass/Americana. The group’s recent album release, “This Old Town,” has been featured on the popular Wisconsin radio show, “Simply Folk,” as well as other radio shows across the country.

Being mostly inspired by rivers, valleys, good friends and good drink, this band is as sturdy as any Midwest riverbed and will make your toes tap from sundown to sunrise. Their website is hhgmusic.com.

Tickets for each event can be purchased at the gallery in Shell Lake or online at thePottersShed.com. Doors open at 6 p.m. for pizza, hot dogs, desserts and drinks.

In the event of inclement weather the concerts will be held at the nearby Shell Lake Arts Center. — from the Potter’s Shed

Associate degrees can be used to complete Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science degrees at UWBC RICE LAKE — Students with an associate degree from any University of Wisconsin college or Wisconsin technical college can now use that degree to complete a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree at UW-Barron County.

This fall is the first time technical college associate degrees can count as the first 60 credits toward the BAAS degree.

Other associate degrees may also be eligible and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

The BAAS is unique in many ways: • Students enroll in core courses taught in person on the UWBC campus and can select BAAS courses from UW-Stout, UW-Superior, UW-Parkside and UW - La Crosse.

• It was built on research with employers, and courses were developed to respond to the list of essential workplace skills employers said they want. This includes problem solving and decision making, working in teams and good com-

munications skills.

• BAAS students complete professional experience requirements that provide internship and community-based learning opportunities. This adds a practical dimension to classroom learning and can lead to employment opportunities.

“We’ve had significant interest in this new degree, and people have many reasons for making it their degree of choice,” said BAAS adviser Deb Neuheisel. “These are students with families and jobs. They want to earn a bachelor’s degree with UW quality close to home, and they like that the BAAS is flexible and practical.”

For example, some students want to explore career options, others want to establish networks in a field they’ve already chosen. Students can also work with employers to choose the best courses for career progress or specific workplace needs.

For more information or to apply for the new BAAS degree please contact the UW-Barron County student services office

Rabies control: Bats SPOONER — The number of rabies-related human deaths in the United States has declined from more than 100 annually at the turn of the century to one or two per year. This is due to both rabies vaccination requirements for pets and the success of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis — rabies shots.

Most of the rabies deaths in the United States are from a bat strain of rabies, and frequently the person does not recall getting bitten or failed to seek medical care.

The last case in Wisconsin was an adult male in 2010. Although he had not reported an animal bite, his wife did state there were bats in the woodpile he was working on.

Unlike other potential rabies exposures

from an animal, a bat bite or scratch may be small enough to go unnoticed. If a bat is found in a room where someone has been sleeping, or is found in a room with a small child or incapacitated adult, the person should see their medical provider to discuss starting the rabies vaccine series. If the bat is caught, it may be able to be tested to see if it has rabies. Avoid direct contact with the bat. If the bat is negative, the rabies vaccine can be discontinued. Call the Washburn County Health Department at 715-635-4400 for instruction. If the bat has been killed, refrigerate it, but do not freeze it, until it can be taken to the health department for testing.

Woodyard and Clam River School reunion brings back memories of bygone days

The Woodyard and Clam River School reunion was held at the Friendship Commons in Shell Lake on Saturday, Aug. 9. Shown back row (L to R): Margaret (Mortensen) Jones, Ruth (Rydberg) Knapmiller, Peder Pederson, Marvin Mortensen, Frank Mortensen, Allen Johnson, Rodney Olson, Allen Sather and Steve Mortensen.

Severt Olson acted as the emcee of the Woodyard Clam River all-school reunion. The two schools had an intense softball rivalry that is still the topic of conversation at the morning coffee shop. A little over two miles separated the two schools, and one of the teams would have to walk over to the other school. If the traveling team lost it was a long, quiet walk back.

Clam River School was built in 1888 with Miss Rafferty being their first teacher. The students spoke Swedish and Finnish and most could not speak English. Rafferty did not speak either Swedish or Finnish, but they got by, and they learned. Missionaries would hold church services in Swedish during the cold winter months. Clam River School was consolidated with the Shell Lake School District in 1956. — Photo submitted Mother and daughter, Lillian (Mortensen) Ullom and Donna (Ullom) Ness, represent two generations that attended the two rural schools of Woodyard and Clam River. Lillian graduated from Woodyard in the eighth grade in 1937. Donna graduated from Clam River in 1953, finishing high school in Shell Lake.

The 1937 graduating class had seven students, Lillian Mortensen, Jane Mortensen, Maria Mortensen, Marianna Mortensen, Rachel Mortensen, Lloyd Mortensen and Eugene Gronning.

In 1905 there were 16 farm kids attending Woodyard School. Some of those students were Magnus Jonsen, Eli Bolden, Waldemar Mortensen, Otto Jacobson, Bertha Peterson, Magdeline Bolden, Emil Sather, Harold Peterson, John Nelson and Ewald Johnson. Their teacher was Katie Chatfield who was just a few years older than her oldest student. She is in the back row, second one in from the right. — Photo submitted

Samuel Phua and his mother, Melanie Phua, traveled from Singapore to fulfill his dream of studying under Dr. Eugene Rousseau. Samuel is a 17-year-old high school student. His school paid for their trip to the Shell Lake Arts Center’s Eugene Rousseau Saxophone Workshop. After graduating from high school, Samuel will have a 21-month military commitment after which he will be studying music in college.

Steve Stusek, an associate professor of music at the University of North Carolina – Greensboro, is a favorite of his students because of his unconventional approach and saxophone techniques.

With new veterans bill signed, Pocan talks VA hospital, systems Shamane Mills | WPR news WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan toured Madison’s veterans hospital on Monday, just days after President Barack Obama signed a new bill designed to reduce patient wait times and improve care at facilities across the country.

The $16 billion bill provides money to hire and train more doctors and allow some patients to get care at private clinics. It’s designed to reduce long wait times across the country.

A review found the Madison VA had a wait time of 51 days to see a primary-care doctor, but Pocan calls that assessment EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CITY OF SHELL LAKE, WI

misleading.

“The only statistic that came out in the initial report that had an extended wait time was for someone coming into the system for the first time,” he said. “And they did have a surge since the first the year – over double the amount of people coming in at first – but when you actually looked at it in normal way of tracking it, it was actually 25 days.”

The bill also allows veterans to seek care at private clinics if they’ve waited at least a month or live 40 miles from a VA hospital. This issue was hotly debated during passage of the bill. Pocan said some Democrats feared it might lead to privatization of the VA. “It’s really important that we keep the veterans system strong,” he said. “Because there were some during this debate

Revised Common Lectionary © 1992 by the Consultation on Common Texts for

Sunday, August 17, 2014 Tenth Sunday After Pentecost Failure is never a welcome guest. Nor does one choose failure to be an associate or companion. It is something that often invades our lives even though it is unwanted.

Yet, from it we learn some of life’s most valuable lessons.

In Psalm 21 David begins with shouts of praise, “How the king rejoices in your strength, O Lord ... how he shouts with joy because you gave him victory ... how you gave him a crown ... how you preserved his life.” Here we find David rejoicing and praising his Lord for the gracious gifts that he gave him. He praised God for granting him the desires of his heart and giving him victory over his enemies.

But notice carefully. He realized that the source of his strength, the joy of his victories, his golden crown and the preservation of his life all came from his Lord. He recognized God as his source of strength, survival and success.

And in doing so, he gave thanks.

David learned from his mistakes. And wisely, when he came confident from his victories, he knew whom to thank. His victories came from the Lord.

God often allows us to experience the agony of defeat and the sorrow of disappointment to learn that we must rely on him for everything, every day. In this Psalm, David reminds us that his strength, joy, victory, rewards and protection all come from God. He learned from experience to trust God. What a great lesson for us.

ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE WEEK Two weeks ago I was tossed from a car, Thankfully I wasn’t thrown too far.

They opened their door and they left me behind, Tell me how someone could be so unkind.

Two men were seen, I’ll bet they went and hid, Only a coward would do as they did.

The shelter was only a half block away, I knew they would never have turned us away.

A man picked me up, to the shelter we went, Taking me there wouldn’t cost him a cent.

He knew they would help and that’s what I got, Like winning the “luckiest kitten” jackpot.

Covered in fleas, the first thing was a bath, Finally I was headed down the right path.

As they looked me over from tail to head, “Look at his lip,” that’s what one of them said.

“His lip’s a bit different,” I thought that they would laugh, But how wrong I was about this caring staff.

They said I was cute, it didn’t matter a bit, And I was afraid I’d be called a misfit.

There was one last thing, I still needed a name, “I think Clifford’s perfect;” I heard them exclaim.

Cats for adoption: 1-year-old spayed black/brown shorthair tiger; 2-year-old neutered black/white shorthair; two 10-week-old medium-hair black kittens; 2-year-old neutered black medium-hair; 2-yearold male gray/white shorthair with frostbitten ears; 8-year-old spayed shorthair calico/Manx; 10-weekold gray/white male shorthair; 8-week-old shorthair orange tiger; 5-year-old female ragdoll; 8-month-old shorthair calico; 3-year-old neutered tan longhair; two 11-week-old male shorthair orange tabby kittens; 10-week-old male gray/white medium-hair; and a 1-year-old neutered orange/white medium-hair tabby.

Dogs for adoption: 2-year-old male black Lab mix; 3-year-old neutered brown/white Staffordshire terrier mix; 9-month-old brindle/white male; 2-year-old neutered white shepherd mix; and a 7-year-old neutered cocker spaniel.

Dorothy Martin Dorothy Arlene (Paffel) Martin, 86, Spooner, died Monday, Aug. 4, 2014, at White Pine Senior Living in Fridley, Minn.

Dorothy was born Jan. 5, 1928, in Phelps, to parents Karl and Anna Sophia (Sophie) Paffel.

In 1929, the family moved back to Spooner, where on June 22, 1946, she was united in marriage to Albert Martin. Soon after their marriage, the couple moved to Topaz, Mich., where they operated the Big Bear Airport Resort. They returned to Spooner in 1951 where she resided the rest of her life. Dorothy was very active with the Altar Society at St. Francis de Sales where she was a member. She was a very generous and giving person.

She enjoyed preparing and serving her wonderful cooking to family and friends alike. Her specialties includes pancakes, waffles, Johnnycake, bread, rice pudding, pizza and baked beans. Dorothy may be best known and loved for picking up trash while riding her two-wheeled and later three-wheeled bicycles around Spooner. She received the Spooner Citizen Volunteer Award for helping keep Spooner clean.

Dorothy is survived by her children, Linda (George “Mike”) Cusick of Minnesota, Albert (Barb) Martin III of Arkansas, Tony (Gina) Martin of Wisconsin, Rosanna (Dev) LaLond of Wisconsin, Corrine (Rick) Nelson of Oklahoma, Theresa (Steve Julkowski) Martin of Minnesota, Kevin Martin of Wisconsin, Catherine (Chris) Dunham of South Carolina, Damian (Sara St. Claire) Martin of Minnesota, Pierre (Cecille) Martin of Virginia, Gregory Martin of Minnesota and Mary (Kent) Christensen of Minnesota; 23 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and brother, Charles Paffel of Wisconsin.

She was preceded in death by husband, Albert G. Martin Jr.; sons, Richard and Jerome Martin; grandsons, George Cusick Jr. and Anthony Earl Cusick; brothers and sisters, Lorraine Sonnentag, Vivian Cox, Doyle, Merle and LaVerne Paffel.

A funeral Mass of Christian Burial was held Aug. 8 at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church with Father Ed Anderson as celebrant. Interment was at the Spooner Veterans Memorial Cemetery. Online condolences may be left at scazlo-taylor.com.

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

Yeah! We have received rain. This is great, as long as it quits before next Sunday. That’s when the outdoor worship service is scheduled at Barronett Lutheran, you know. Service will start at 9 a.m., and then we will have a potluck brunch immediately afterward. If you have lawn chairs, please bring them. They are so much more comfortable to sit in than those metal folding chairs we have.

Everyone is welcome, so please come by for the worship service, brunch and some fun conversation.

I see that First Lutheran in Cumberland is having a corn boil at their church on Thursday, Aug. 21, starting at 4:30 p.m. That’s great! Curt and Mary Kay Hefty are coming on the 20th, and I’m sure they would love to go to that. Think about it, I’ll look like the perfect hostess for suggesting going to it, and I won’t have to cook or do dishes. Yup, perfect.

The Sweet family has had probably the busiest few weeks of their lives. Let’s see now, I hardly know where to start. Well, first, Robin Sweet, Doug’s nephew from Colorado, came by for a week the end of July. While he was up he got some logging done on Robert’s property over on Offers Lake Road. And, while he was here, the whole family gathered at the Balsam Lake Community Center to celebrate Harriet Spangenberg’s 90th birthday on July 27. There were friends and family from all over the country, Utah, Colorado, Las Vegas, Webster, Muskego and of course, Cumberland and Barronett, to help her celebrate. Pat said that everyone had a wonderful time.

Then, last weekend, Pat and her daughter, Joanne, went to Madison to visit with Jason Sweet. While they

Sarona

were there they went to the farmers market at the Capitol Square, and went inside the Capitol to look around. Wisconsin’s Capitol building is so impressive - all the marble and art - and Pat said that they really enjoyed looking around in there.

This past week, on Thursday, Janet, Reese and Mackenzie Leavesseur came from Billings, Mont., to visit. While they were here, Reese attended his 40th class reunion in Chippewa Falls. Doug and Pat had a great weekend with the family. The Leavesseurs had to return to Montana on Monday.

Sharai Hefty celebrated her birthday on Aug. 7 by going to the ice-cream shop in Shell Lake with Deb Lehmann and me that afternoon, and then having a bunch of friends over for supper that evening. The plans for the new house she and Gary Rahn will be building are slowly coming together. It seems like everything takes so long. I can hardly wait to see some activity over there. Sharai has explained the design of the inside of the house, and it really sounds like it’s going to be nice.

Hopefully they will have a housewarming party when it’s finished so we can all see it.

Pat Olson, Lynn Thon, Art and Jill Adams and I went to Janesville this weekend for a surprise 75th birthday party for Jim Copus. Art and Jill went down a day early so they could stop by to see Art’s dad, Butch, who has been undergoing cancer treatments. Art said that when they got to Butch’s house, he was out watering the flowers and seemed to be doing pretty well. That was absolutely great news!

Pat, Lynn and I rode down to Janesville together, and

before we went to the party we went to Beloit to pick Duane up from a truck stop. He’s been gone for two weeks, and the last drop he had was in Indiana, just a little east of Gary, so he was able to go to Jim’s surprise party too. It was quite an event. Jim’s girlfriend, Donna, planned it with some other friends, and there must have been about 75 or 80 people there. They had enough food to feed twice that many, and it was all so good that we ate until we were uncomfortable. Jim was very surprised because he was told that they were meeting a couple of friends and then leaving for a dinner theater. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun at his party and I think he did, too.

Miriah Lehmann (aka Miss Rodeo Wisconsin 2014) left on Thursday for Colorado to appear in a rodeo. Her flight out was delayed because of bad weather in Denver, but she got there in plenty of time to get to the rodeo.

On the way back, however, the weather was bad again lots of lightning - and her flight was delayed three times before it was canceled altogether. She had to get another flight, and she wouldn’t be able to get into Minneapolis for a couple of days. So, she booked a flight to Madison instead. A friend picked her up from the Madison airport, and then she rode home with us. Poor little thing had to sleep on the airport floor the night before, so she must have been exhausted, but she was her usual cheerful self. I don’t know how she does it.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope to see you on Sunday at the outdoor service at Barronett Lutheran.

It was so nice waking up Monday morning to the sound of soft-falling rain that was really a blessing as the lawns, gardens, trees and crops were getting pretty thirsty. This should green things up again as we’ve been in a dry stretch of summer for a while.

Tansies are prevalent, blanketing roadsides in buttons of yellow. Some birds are flocking. Gals have been doing beans and pickles from their gardens.

Bowling meetings are being held. Marion Reiter and I went together to the Northland Lanes Spooner Women’s all-league meeting held Monday night at Tony’s in Spooner. The men’s leagues were having their meeting at the bowling alley. There were 20 gals attending with guest Marci Williams, director of USBC from Wichita, Kan., and also Mike Miller, who did a little talk about the upcoming season. If anyone out there would like to

by Pauline Lawrence Well, we certainly didn’t get any of that much-needed moisture last week and the crops in the area are suffering. I imagine most who have a garden are watering it.

It seems like in July and August we get a drought each year no matter what. In the night, what did I hear? Was that rain a-pitter-patterin’ on my house roof? Well, we woke up to rain Monday morning, coming down slowly! Hooray!

Happy birthday to Jimmy Hartwig and also to Andy LaVeau on Aug. 15. Have a great day.

Aug. 16, a very happy birthday to Mary Ludden as she enjoys that special day.

Happy birthday to Brendan and to his son, Joseph Harrington as they enjoy their day on Aug. 17. Many more to both of you.

Happy birthday to Brad Kaiser on his special day Aug. 16. Many more, Brad.

A very happy anniversary to Jack and Kathy Brown as they enjoy their special day together on Aug. 18. This makes 52 years for Jack and Kathy.

Aug. 19, a very happy birthday to Paul Baumgart as he enjoys his special day with lots more to come.

A very happy anniversary to Caleb and Sarah Melton as they celebrate their special day together on Aug. 20. Many more.

A very happy birthday to Lilli Melton as she enjoys her special day, Aug. 20.

Have a wonderful day, Lilli.

A very happy birthday to Adyson Vanderhoof as she enjoys her special day, Aug. 20. Many more to Adyson.

Coming home for the weekend was Jimmy Atkinson of Stacy, Minn. He stayed with his folks, Jim and Sandy Atkinson.

On Sunday morning, the Lakeview Methodist Church had a singing group come and perform rather than having Pastor Jack give the message. I understand the trio sang very beautifully.

Heard on the news that because of the drought in California fruit will continue to go up in price.

Sunday, Diane Hulleman went to her friend Robin’s and from there they went to Robin’s parents’ home for a surprise birthday party for Robin’s father.

What a tragedy that happened in Mendota Heights, Minn., July 30. That was the day that Officer Scott Patrick, 47, was shot in the line of duty. His funeral was Aug. 6 with about 4,000 police officers there.

The bell rang 272 times representing the 272 officers who have been killed in Minnesota as well as a three-gun salute. Officer Patrick’s casket was brought to the service by a horse and wagon with a riderless horse as well.

Otto and Robin Lawson were up to the Lawson family reunion over the weekend. They stopped to visit area relatives including Butch and Loretta VanSelus.

While at Butch and Loretta’s they enjoyed a fish fry on Friday evening. The Lawsons had come from an enjoyable fishing trip through Duluth and Canada.

Over the weekend a week ago, the Knoop clan visited the Science Museum in Duluth. There were Karen and Doug Vanderhoof, Mike Roe, Ashley, Makenna and Conner Vanderhoof, Marv and Gladys Knoop, Kate and David Kinde and kids, Trent and Stephanie Vanderhoof and Adyson, Gavin and Ethan. At the museum they had a nice room that they rented and the gang helped three Vanderhoof children celebrate their birthdays. All enjoyed a good meal. Karen tells me her garden is outdoing itself. She had five 5-gallon pails of peas to shell and beans and beets were ready. She couldn’t get enough time off from the barn chores to do everything. Tuesday is election and Karen is in charge of it. In a week or so, Karen will be getting little baby chicks also. I don’t envy Karen with all that work as I used to do this when we had the four kids at home. It was uff-da.

Cheri Amundson was home at her mom’s, Ann Johnson’s, to attend the Lawson family reunion. She helped her mom pick the last picking of garden beans.

Saturday, Beth and Garry Crosby attended the funeral of Duane Hughes.

Duane passed away Aug. 4 after suffering a massive stroke. His funeral was at St. Francis de Sales in Spooner on Saturday, Aug. 9. Our deepest sympathy to the family. Duane and Susan had three daughters.

Enjoying lunch at Vicki and Don Trott’s were Evelyn and Cecil Melton. Cecil isn’t feeling very well at this time.

A late but happy birthday to Ethan Vanderhoof on July 4. Also happy birthday to Gavin Vanderhoof on Aug. 14. Have a wonderful day.

Scatter sunshine!

Have a great week!

Home canning information and pressure gauge testing available SPOONER — Have you had your pressure canner dial gauge tested this year?

Accuracy of the gauge can make the difference between over- or underprocessed jars in your canner.

All low-acid food, which includes all vegetables and meats, must be processed in a pressure canner to kill the spores that can cause botulism toxin in sealed jars.

Botulism can be deadly.

Fruits and tomatoes may be processed in either a pressure canner or a boilingwater canner. Jams, jellies and pickles must be processed in a boiling-water canner. The open-kettle method of canning is

not safe for any product.

You can find out more about safe food preservation, and have your canner gauge tested at no charge, at the Twilight Garden Tour at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station from 4 p.m. to dusk on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

For more safe food preservation information call the Washburn County Extension Office at 715-635-4444. UW-Extension food preservation publications can be purchased online or you can view and print the document at no charge at the learning store, learningstore.uwex.edu/.

Wild ricing at Hunt Hill SARONA — Have you ever had an interest in learning more about wild rice, incorporating more wild rice into your meals, or even harvesting and processing your own rice? If so, consider joining experienced educators and Hunt Hill staff for their wild-ricing workshop. Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, Sarona, will be offering a three-day wild-ricing workshop beginning Thursday, Sept. 4. Registration and payment are required by Monday, Aug. 18.

Participants will learn about wild rice and its rich history, make their own ricing sticks, collect rice on premier Wisconsin lakes, learn how to process their own rice and enjoy meals prepared with natural lake-harvested wild rice.

Bartz is retired from the WDNR and has

Haack is the regional natural resource educator through UW-Extension. Hack is a longtime wild ricer and recently became a wild-rice processor. Participants will also enjoy natural lake wild rice – not paddygrown wild rice – incorporated into their meals. Recipes and information will be shared on how to prepare and incorporate wild rice into meals.

Program cost includes instruction, ricing sticks, all meals, snacks, refreshments, canoe use and program supplies. This workshop is limited to the first 15 participants.

We woke up to a nice steady rain on Monday morning. We needed it and I’m sure everyone was happy.

The sun came out later in the day.

Perfect weather.

We had a busy week here at Glenview last week. We always have Bingo on Monday except when Karen Scribner comes to help us put greeting cards together, which is always fun.

Wednesday evening, a group of Salem singers came to entertain us with many songs: secular, religious and patriotic. Thank you and come again.

On Thursday night, Angela, one of our nurses, presented a slide show of her trip to Haiti. That was truly interesting and eye-opening. We don’t know how those people live and survive. Thank you to Angela.

Friday afternoon Beautiful Savior Church’s youth group from Spooner presented two plays for us. They’re talented kids. We enjoyed it.

Saturday morning we have Sharon Tobias to thank as she came to the Salem people here at Glenview to

by Helen V. Pederson show pictures of the new cross put up on our church.

Lillian Ullom said her sisters from the Twin Cities spent the weekend here and they all went to the Woodyard School reunion at Friendship Commons on Saturday with a good crowd there.

On Sunday, Frank Mortensen and Marvin Mortensen, along with sisters Louise and Margaret, had supper with Lillian.

Visiting with Judy and Myron Bolterman over the weekend were Judy’s brother, Jerry, and wife Diane Campbell from Madison. On Saturday they took a ride around the Trego area where they all grew up.

Saturday night Wendell Turpin had a dinner party at his house for people visiting from Chicago.

Mavis and Roger Flach attended the funeral services for Roger ’s brother, Lawrence Flach, of rural Cumberland at Hosanna Church.

Roxanne and Steve of Isanti, Minn., stayed with Mavis and Roger on Tuesday and Wednesday. Our prayers are with you Roger.

Stone Lake Not much news to report this week. Everyone is enjoying the great outdoors with the excellent weather we have been having. Enjoy it while you can, as fall is coming up real fast!

The first weekend in October is the Cranberry Festival, and Stone Lake is getting ready for the surge of the many visitors invading our little town. Be sure to gather up your recipes and get ready for the baking contest. That weekend there will also be a

movie, “Cross Stitch,” filmed at the festival and various places in Stone Lake. Hopefully, I will be getting more information to share with you at a later date.

Be sure to visit the farmers market each Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. in downtown Stone Lake. There is a good variety of veggies, bakery, etc., to choose from so be sure to check it out.

Have a good week and be safe.

The Dean’s List performed cool music on a hot August night. The Shell Lake Arts Center hosted the 10th-annual Evening With The Stars Gala fundraiser on Saturday, Aug. 9, at the Aderman Auditorium.

Caught in timeless motion, Rayna Lundberg watches the band from behind the bubble machine.
