STATEWIDE - Last month, 39 people were killed in traffic crashes in Wisconsin, which was the second lowest number of traffic deaths for July since monthly fatality statistics were first compiled in 1937. In terms of traffic deaths, Wisconsin’s all-time safest month of July was in 1943 with 34 traffic fatalities. The deadliest months of July occurred in 1966 and 1971 with 140 fatalities. Traffic fatalities last month also were 18 fewer than July 2013 and 19 fewer than the five-year average for the month of July. As of July 31, a total of 252 people have died in Wisconsin traffic crashes in 2014, including 38 motorcycle drivers, four motorcycle passengers, 21 pedestrians and two bicyclists, according to preliminary statistics from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Traffic deaths through July were 31 fewer than during the same period in 2013 and 50 fewer than the five-year average. “In order to maintain a significant reduction in traffic fatalities, we must continue to combat drunken driving. Last year, 185 people died in alcohol-related crashes in Wisconsin,” says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “To save lives and prevent injuries, nearly 400 law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin will be out in force for the annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown on drunken drivers from Aug. 15 to Sept. 1. Tragically, drunken driving is still prevalent and deadly in Wisconsin. It also is entirely preventable.” - from WisDOT

Hailstorm damages crops around Shell Lake Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — “The bad hail started kind of up by Spooner where some of our acres lie and came all the way down to Heisterkamp Road … so it kind of went right through the middle of our farm,” said Todd Schrankel. Schrankel, whose farm is east of Shell Lake on CTH B, estimates 200 acres of soybeans and 400-plus acres of corn were damaged in the hailstorm that occurred around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30, in Shell Lake.

“If you go north on Caldwell Road, up on top of the hill, there are soybeans on both sides of the road - well they used to be soybeans, now they are just stems,” said Schrankel. Phil Holman, superintendent and agronomy project researcher at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station, has recorded damaged crops in about a four-mile-long swath from the intersection of CTH K and Hwy. 253 to the north edge of Shell Lake.

“It is kind of a distinct area because within a mile or less away from it crops are just fine.

That area of hail did an extensive amount of damage,” said Holman. Nearly mature fields of soybeans, corn and sunflowers have been reduced to stems as the hail completely stripped them of their foliage. Holman explained that because the damage occurred so late in the season, the plants will not recover in time for harvest.

Here is a close-up view of Schrankel’s soybean plants and the severe damage sustained by the hailstorm. — Photo by Todd Schrankel “The soybeans may rebranch a little bit but we are so late in the season that there isn’t time to regrow enough to produce feed that will be high enough off the ground to combine,” said Holman. The soybean and sunflower crops will not recover from the damage but Holman is hesitant to say that the corn is a total loss yet.

“We have some that is damaged but not completely defoliated, but the corn, it’s kind of a waiting game to see how bad it affected the pollination; if pollination was completed or not we

Democrats vying for 7th Congressional District oppose each other on most issues Kelly Westlund, Mike Krsiean both aim to claim Sean Duffy’s seat in Congress Glen Moberg | WPR news NORTHERN WISCONSIN - Democrats will choose between two candidates with starkly different visions when they go to the polls in northern Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District primary election on Tuesday, Aug. 12.

Both Kelly Westlund and Mike Krsiean are running for the seat now occupied by two-term Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Weston.

Westlund is a businesswoman and Ash-

Kelly Westlund

land City Council member who has the endorsement of the Democrat Party and former 7th District Congressman Dave Obey. Krsiean is a self-employed design engineer and farmer who wants to cut the size of

government.

The two candidates oppose each other on most issues. For example, Westlund said the country’s Social Security program can be saved if wealthy people pay into it more.

“In this country, the 900 wealthiest people stop paying Social Security taxes after

day two of the calendar year,” said Westlund. “I think that’s wrong.”

Krsiean, however, wants to phase out Social Security altogether.

“I want to give Mike Krsiean young people who have not yet had quite a few years investing in the soon-to-be-failed Social Security system (the) option to opt out.“ Westlund wants to raise the minimum wage and wants an expanded role for the government in creating jobs and helping the poor.

Krsiean wants to eliminate the Envi-

ronmental Protection Agency, the Department of Education, the IRS and the Federal Reserve.

Krsiean said the Penokee Hills iron mine needs to go forward for the sake of jobs.

“America needs steel,” said Krsiean.

“The people of Iron County need jobs … (there’s) 14 percent unemployment in the off-tourism season in Iron County alone.”

Westlund, however, said its environmental hazards threaten jobs that already exist, such as in tourism and recreation.

“When we allow this project to go forward, that jeopardizes every other longterm sustainable option that we have on the table,” said Westlund.

Duffy also faces a primary challenge Aug. 12, from Superior businessman Don Raihala.

Local woman opens new massage therapy business Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — Two years ago, Stephanie Lawrence was recovering from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident.

She was going through physical therapy but she was not getting results. “Off of the referral of my sister, I went to a friend of hers who had just graduated from the WITC school. In one session with her, I got almost all of my mobility back,” said Lawrence.

After her experience with the healing effects of massage therapy, Lawrence knew she had found her calling. Lawrence attended WITC and graduated from its massage therapy school in April.

She officially opened Bear Paws Massage Therapy on Wednesday, July 16.

“I enjoy what I do. I enjoy the results because somebody coming in with a headache and leaving without one, that is a very tangible result. It’s something that has always made me feel good,” she said.

Lawrence and her husband, Daniel, live 10 miles west of Shell Lake with their two daughters and are expecting their third.

“What we were trained in is called Swedish massage, and basically it is working with the muscle tissue to promote blood flow, to promote health, to promote flexibility and movement,” she explained. Lawrence offers four different types of massage therapy sessions for men and women: an hour-long massage, a massage for expecting mothers, a deep tissue massage and chair massage.

Each of these sessions can be tailored to suit an individual’s needs, comfort levels and time schedules.

“We can work on anything ... carpal tunStephanie Lawrence recently opened Bear Paws Massage within nel, thoracic outlook Vitality Village in Shell Lake. — Photo by Danielle H. Moe

syndrome, I have done a lot of lower backs since I started working here,” she said. Lawrence explained that massage brings the body into balance, helps a person relax and brings blood flow back to where it is supposed to be.

“I have had people come in with headaches and they leave without one, so it is extremely beneficial, extremely healthy,” she said. Lawrence is also working on broadening her education into other modalities including reflexology and sports massage. She is currently offering her one-hour massage at a special discounted price until Thursday, Aug. 28.

Bear Paws Massage can be found in one of Vitality Village’s cozy and relaxing rooms on Shell Lake’s Industrial Boulevard. Lawrence can be reached at 715-645-2877 or at bearpaws@massagetherapy.com. Bear Paws Massage is online at bearpaws.massagetherapy.com.

Favre will be inducted into the Packer Hall of Fame Number will be retired Patty Murray |Wisconsin Public Radio GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers have mended fences with Brett Favre: The former longtime quarterback will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame next year and have his old No. 4 retired.

The Packers held a well-attended news conference to announce the honors. Brett Favre was on the phone.

Crop damage/from page 1 don’t know, we have to wait a few days to see what is recovering, what is alive out there to make the next step,” explained

The retired chairman of the Packers, Bob Harlan, announced that Favre will be the first player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and have his number retired in the same year. He credited Favre for helping turn the team around from dismal seasons in the ’70s and ’80s, during which it had only four winning seasons.

“Brett ... I want to say I was thrilled and privileged to work with you and watch you play in Green Bay for 16 years, and I’m personally privileged today to welcome

you and Deanna back into the Packers Hall of Fame. It’s great to have old friends home again,” said Harlan on Monday.

Favre famously decided to come out of retirement, cut ties with the Packers, and play for the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings. He now says, however, that he will always consider himself a Packer.

Team President and CEO Mark Murphy said the announcement puts an end to speculation about when and if the team would honor Favre.

“‘When will he come back? When will his number be retired?’ I know personally I’m thankful I don’t need to answer that question again,” said Murphy The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be in July of next year. Favre’s number will be retired and his name placed on the walls of Lambeau Field during a game sometime in the 2015 season.

and potential total losses from severely damaged crops, but some crop loss can be offset if the farmer has crop insurance.

“Much of the corn looks like it could be

a total loss for corn grain, might still make a little bit of silage but it would be poor quality,” said Holman.

Ice caves cause surge in summer business at Apostle Islands Economic impact from tourism is expected to be considerable Mike Simonson | WPR news CORNUCOPIA – A report from the National Park Service says 451 jobs were created in Wisconsin by the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and St. Croix National Scenic River last year, and thanks to the winter’s ice caves in the Apostles, this year is expected to be even better.

The total economic benefit of the two national parks last year was $29.3 million. The Village Inn in Cornucopia gets a small slice of that from tourists who visit the Apostle Islands sea caves. Co-owner Cheryl O’Bryon said they’re booked through Labor Day, with much of the traffic being repeat business from the ice caves last winter.

Kayakers visiting the Apostle Islands sea caves. - Photo by Tim Wilson “I definitely have seen a whole different kind of groups of people, that’s for sure,”

said O’Bryon. “I know that Greg, our outfitter in town, is doing gangbusters with

kayak trips to the sea caves. There’s just tons of people around.”

The ice caves drew more than 130,000 people in just two months from around the world last winter. Ashland’s South Shore Brewery manager, Sonjia Johnson, said that the record-setting winter season may be why the area is also seeing its best summer in a decade.

“I don’t necessarily ask them why they’re up here, but with our sales being up and the weather being questionable, that has had a lot of impact on us from the ice caves,” said Johnson.

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Resources Chief Julie Van Stappen said a normal number of visitors for a year is about 160,000 people. This year’s total, she said, will be well above that.

At St. Croix and the Apostles, 320,000 people visited last year, which had an economic impact in communities within 60 miles of the parks.

New museum exhibit features Shell Lake and Peterson boats Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SHELL LAKE — When first setting foot in the Washburn County Historical Museum, you are greeted by a menagerie of historical artifacts, memorabilia and photographs of the people that shaped the area’s past.

“It’s a wonderful place with so many wonderful items … I still see new things every time I am there,” said Shelley Fox, historical society volunteer. Together with Fox, members of the Washburn County This photo of the Shell Lake Boat Factory crew was taken around 1950.

Historical Society Board of Directors and a few volunteers have worked together to preserve a piece of Shell Lake history in a new exhibit. On Saturday, Aug. 16, the museum in Shell Lake will be holding a grand opening for the new exhibit that features Shell Lake and Peterson boats.

“Right now the display is basically just the boats because we don’t have the manpower to work on other things,” explained Fox. Despite the exhibit’s basic features, the room is brimming with local historical significance in the eight boats on display.

“I told them at the historical society that I wrote my name underneath every deck that I built,” said Bob Washkuhn.

Washkuhn worked at the Shell Lake Boat Factory for three years. He began on the building crew at 17 and moved to be a finisher before he left for a job in Milwaukee. The Shell Lake Boat Factory was first

PUT YOUR BUSINESS ON DISPLAY

incorporated in 1904 and the boats were built in stages. First the boats were assembled from strips of wood, then they were sanded before being painted and then moved to the finishing stage.

“I liked it well. They had a good crew, good bosses, everything was good except the salary, that is the only thing that didn’t keep me there,” said Washkuhn.

Fox explained that the boat exhibit project began when a number of boats the museum had received as donations began to deteriorate in storage, but they had no proper place to display them.

“Rod Ripley was very instrumental in getting the building built. He wanted to get the boats out of storage, back into their home, so that people could see them,” said Fox. Now all the museum’s boats are in their proper place, on display for the public to view and learn from.

“Right now the garage is finished … but there is a need for displays to be built to house some of the photographs that we have … and just to make it into a more

working building,” said Fox. The hope is to make the building into an exhibit on local boating and fishing history. For now the exhibit remains a work in progress for the historical society and any interested individuals. Fox explained that donations of memorabilia and the assistance of volunteers to curate exhibit displays would help further the museum’s vision. The museum board has also considered having restoration work done on the boats, but for now that remains another potential project.

“It is the first step of, I am sure, a project that is going to go on for another couple of years,” said Fox. The Washburn County Historical Museum is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., June through August. The research office is open on Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment year-round. The museum can be reached at 715-468-2982 or at WCHS54871@gmail.com.

Public comment period opens for six interim forest management plans

MADISON — Interim plans guiding the management of forest resources on a number of state-owned properties across the state are now available for review and comment through Tuesday, Aug. 12. The interim plans will guide forest management on the properties until formal master plans are completed.

The Interim Forest Management Plans are important because they will allow timber taken off these lands to continue to be certified as sustainably managed, a seal of approval that gives the public confidence these properties are well managed.

Such plans also will benefit sawmills and other companies using timber from those properties, according to Craig Thompson, a land program manager with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in La Crosse.

The properties with interim forest management plans are: Namekagon Barrens Wildlife Area in Burnett and Washburn

counties; Mount Hope Rearing Station in Grant County; Blackhawk Lake Wildlife Area in Iowa County; Kinnikinnic River Streambank Protection Area in Pierce County; Dewey Wildlife Area in Portage County; and Vernon Wildlife Area in Waukesha County.

“These interim plans are very important for forest certification, which in turn is very important for business,” Thompson says. “People want to know we are managing their lands well, and consumers are increasingly preferring products from sustainably managed forests.

A guaranteed stream of certified wood means sawmills and other forest products companies will have the competitive edge they need to do well in domestic and global markets.”

Forest certification is a process that assures consumers that timber (and products made from certified wood) has been grown and harvested in a way that meets

strict environmental and social standards.

The Wisconsin forest products industry is a $16 billion per year business that directly supports more than 56,000 jobs and generates $228 million in state and local tax revenues.

Information and links to individual interim plans for these properties, as well

as directions on how to submit comments, can be found online on the DNR website dnr.wi.gov by searching keyword IFMP. People can fill out an electronic survey to submit comments, or can download the form and mail it in. Comments, either electronic or written, are due by 4:30 p.m.

Area news at a glance CUMBERLAND — Gov. Scott Walker announced on Tuesday, July 29, a $120,146 project for engineering design for pavement reconstruction and a beacon pole replacement at Cumberland Municipal Airport. Stacey Miller, airport engineering specialist with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, said the project will begin the design work necessary for the badly needed reconstruction of airfield pavements. Additionally, the project includes the replacement of a beacon pole with an improved tip-down pole. Funding breakdown is $6,007 state; $6,007 city of Cumberland; and $108,132 Federal Aviation Administration. The design work is expected to be completed by fall of 2014.

Cumberland Municipal Airport is one of 98 facilities included in the Wisconsin State Airport System Plan, which makes it eligible for state and federal funding.

Airport improvement projects are administered through WisDOT’s Bureau of Aeronautics. — from WisDOT ••• EAU CLAIRE — A disease is spreading through Wisconsin, and it’s arrived in Eau Claire with a bulls’-eye on kids.

“Hand, foot and mouth disease is a virus

that most often occurs in children under the age of 10,” says Jill Bauer, a public health nurse for the Eau Claire County Health Department. Cases of the summer/fall disease are rising across Wisconsin and hitting day cares in Eau Claire.

“We’ve seen it when there’s been sores in their mouth and it can be very difficult for them to eat or swallow or drink,” says Cassi Stoeklen, owner of The Learning Tree Child Care Center. “Symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease usually begin with a sore throat, with a mild fever. Later, you will see small blisters in the mouth, usually along the cheek or the gum line or the side of the mouth, they will appear, and later you will see blisters on the hands and feet,” says Bauer. The disease can spread pretty quickly, especially when children are playing together.

“And, toys are really famous around here.

So, one kid has it one minute, and then another kid, and another kid, and another kid, and so if a case breaks out, we do extra sanitizing,” says Stoeklen. Bauer says, “Really the best prevention, as with

The disease is treated mostly through measures of comfort. “Medications to bring the fever down, hydration, rest are the best treatments because it is a virus and just needs to run its course,” says Bauer.

f you have ever sat around a campI fire, odds are you have indulged in a s’more. S’mores are thought to have gotten their name from frequent requests for “some more” whenever they were made. A s’more, the gooey little treat of a roasted marshmallow with a piece of chocolate held between two graham crackers, even has its own special day.

Aug. 10 has been declared National S’Mores Day in the United States. There is more than one way to celebrate National S’Mores Day. Not only can you make the traditional

S’mores s’more, there are also recipes for making a variety of s’more cupcakes. With cupcakes becoming a popular dessert, why wouldn’t creative bakers come up with a wider variety? A recipe for a peanut butter s’mores cupcake was featured in the August edition of the Family Circle magazine.

This recipe calls for marshmallow crème and a dou-

ble-chocolate brownie mix in addition to peanut butter, graham crackers, and of course, minimarshmallows.

S’mores aren’t only reserved for creating near a campfire. A person can even make them in their kitchen using a microwave to melt the marshmallow and chocolate.

A popular ice-cream place recently had a promotion for the s’more Blizzard. With a zipping snack-size plastic bag and the correct ingredients, you can even make your own version of s’mores trail mix.

Not to be left out, the little elves of a popular cookie business also have their version of the s’more sandwich cookies.

Their claim is that they are a yummy, no-mess s’more.

So if you are looking to celebrate National S’mores Day, you can be more traditional and build a campfire and create your own or purchase a package of something premade. I personally have gotten to the stage were I prefer just eating the graham cracker with a piece of milk chocolate.

Beyond the office door • Suzanne Johnson Area writers corner The funny side of life Mary B. Olsen f you could choose your top three favorite comedians on television or in movies, whom would you pick? For me it would be Steve Martin and the two Reds, Red Skelton and Red Buttons. My dad discovered Red Buttons on TV and thought he was the greatest comedian of all time and I agreed with Dad. Well, I liked others, too. It is possible that their kind of humor is on the way out.

Nobody laughs at foolish people slipping on banana peels anymore.

Underwear is no longer funny. Long underwear, red flannels with the drop seat in the back and buttons, and girdles and panty hose, and ruffled petticoats all are lost to the comics of today. Plucked chickens and prunes are still funny, sometimes, and they still think cream pies in the face are a laugh. Telephone routines, they are out of style because of new electronics, maybe?

Red Buttons had some great telephone routines. Red came on the comic circuit when vaudeville had died and

burlesque, as it was in the old days, was singing its swan song.

Red Buttons was born in 1919 in New York City. His parents were Jewish immigrants, Sophie and Michael Chwatt. He was named Aaron Chwatt. He was one of those gifted comics born to entertain.

By the time he was 16, he was at work as a bellhop entertainer at Ryan’s Tavern in City Island in the Bronx. The orchestra leader was Charles “Dinty” Moore. He began calling him Red because of his mop of red hair, and Buttons because of the big shiny buttons on his bellhop costume. That same year, 1935, he used the new name when he worked what they called the Borscht Belt. He had Robert Alda, Alan’s dad, as his straight man. It was a great place to meet other actors and comics.

In 1939, Red was playing at a hotel in New York when the emcee became ill and he was asked to fill in. He was great.

This led to comedy work for Minsky’s Burlesque. In 1941, Jose Ferrer chose Red to appear in a Broadway show, “The Admiral Had a Wife.” It was a farce about Pearl Harbor, to open Dec. 8, 1941. It was canceled. Red would often say, “The

Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor to keep me off Broadway.”

Red appeared on Broadway in 1943 with Jose Ferrer and Uta Hagen in “Vickie.” That year he was in Minsky’s show, “Wine, Women, and Song.” The show is called the last burlesque show in New York City history. It was raided.

Mayor La Guardia closed it down. Why? It was too sexy. Maybe.

Red was drafted into the Army Air Force in 1943. He was in the production of the Air Force show, “Winged Victory.”

A year later, he was in the film version.

He entertained troops, and worked with many of our actors and comics.

After the war, he worked Broadway.

He had his TV series, “The Red Buttons Show,” starting in 1952, and it ran three years. In the movie “Sayonara,” he costarred with Marlon Brando. He played an American aviator in Japan, Joe Kelly, who fell in love with Katswumi, played

by Miyoshi Umeki. He could not marry a Japanese woman because of military rules. He and Miyoshi Umeki won Academy Awards for best supporting actor and actress for the film.

His other films include “The Longest

Day,” about the D-Day invasion, “The Poseidon Adventure,” “Pete’s Dragon,” and the comedy “18 Again!” with George Burns, where they reversed their ages.

He had another TV series, “The Double Life of Henry Phyfe,” a spy series, but it only lasted one year.

Red was listed as No. 71 on Comedy Central’s 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his television work.

In his personal life, Red married in 1947, and again in 1949, but both marriages ended in divorce. He married again in 1964 and the marriage lasted 37 years, ending with her death in 2001.

Red had two children, Amy and Adam.

He passed away July 19, 2006, his last exit.

One thing you can say about Red Buttons is that he was a very good actor and as a comic, he continued to make people laugh all his life. That’s two things. He was still working when he played himself in a documentary he made in 2004, and another in 2005. Nice work, Red. We miss you.

Going on vacation? Give your energy bill a break BARRON — Adjusting the settings on your home appliances and electronic devices before you leave will help you save energy and money. Here are some ways to save: Water heater: If you have a tank unit, your water heater will continue heating water while you are away. Adjust the temperature setting as low as possible to reduce standby heat loss.

Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is one of the biggest energy users in your home.

For short vacations, conserve energy by adjusting the thermostats on your refrigerator and freezer to higher settings - 38 degrees Fahrenheit for the refrigerator and 5 degrees Fahrenheit for the freezer.

For those vacations lasting over four

weeks, consider emptying your refrigerator and unplugging it.

Air conditioner: Turn off your air conditioner or set the thermostat to 85 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Lights: Install timers on indoor and outdoor lights and set them to turn the lights on for a few hours each night. This will conserve energy while providing added security by creating the illusion that someone is at home.

Electronics: While turning off electronic devices saves energy, digital displays and instant-on features continue to use energy whether you are at home or not. Unplug all electronic devices before you leave. — from Barron Electric

SHS was also recognized as a Most Wired organization in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Though physical cables and wiring throughout the facility certainly play a part, information technology director at SHS Mike DiPasquale explains that winning Most Wired is more about the wired connectivity between caregivers. “It has to do with how people are communicating via technology from department to department as well as between our organization and other health-care providers,”

adds DiPasquale.

SHS is among only 10 hospitals in the state of Wisconsin being recognized as Most Wired this year. “Receiving this prestigious recognition as a leader in the use of information technology affirms the hard work and collaborative efforts of our organization,” says Mike Schafer, SHS CEO. “Our focus is to use technology to provide the highest quality and safest care

possible to our patients.”

As the nation’s health-care system transitions to more integrated and patient-centered care, hospitals are utilizing information technology to better connect care providers, according to the 16th-annual Health Care’s Most Wired Survey, conducted by Hospitals & Health Networks. For instance, 67 percent of Most Wired hospitals, including Spooner Health System, share critical patient information electronically with specialists and other care providers. Most Wired hospitals meet a set of rigorous criteria across four operational categories and have made tremendous gains by using IT to reduce the likelihood of medical errors.

SHS’ information technology team works closely with physicians, nurses and staff to ensure they’re using technology to its fullest capability. Being named Most Wired several years in a row confirms that SHS is using the technology they have very well. “You can have the greatest technology in the world,” says DiPasquale, “however, it’s not very use-

ful if you aren’t using it the right way to its fullest potential.”

“The Most Wired data show that shared health information allows clinicians and patients to have the information they need to promote health and make the most informed decisions about treatments,” says Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association. “Hospitals, their clinicians and their communities are doing tremendous work to enhance their IT systems in ways that support care and delivery improvement, and patient engagement goals.”

Health Care’s Most Wired Survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, asked hospitals and health systems nationwide to answer questions regarding their IT initiatives. Respondents completed 680 surveys, representing 1,900 hospitals, or more than 30 percent of all U.S. hospitals.

Madeline Hopke is showing her lamb that she has been spending the summer raising and preparing for the fair. She knows that her lamb that is being sold will go to slaughter but that is the nature of farming.

While she understands this she knows she will be sad on that day.

Professor Steve Waters explained the results of the carcass judging. He has spent 36 years in the meat industry. This is part of the educational value of FFA and 4-H; while many children do not know where their food comes from, these young producers are learning how to produce more for a growing world.

First-annual kids mud run part of Jack Pine Savage Days

Shell Lake runners Anna Mikula and Natalie Jury entered the mud pit and then had to crawl through the mud obstacle in the last leg of the race.

Two-year-old Kendyle Streitz doesn’t know which is worse, the mud or the cold water used to wash the mud off after her run.

Photos by Larry Samson

The Savage Dash is a dirty job but someone has to do it. Doing it was Anna Adamson, Brooke Coats and Lane Coats.

Over 420 children participated in the fun run.

Not everyone thought that the mud pit in the first-annual Kids Savage Dash was fun. The Savage Dash, held Saturday, Aug. 2, was sponsored by the Spooner Parent Teachers Organization and is a major fundraiser for Spooner Area Schools.

After the mud pit, this youngster ran off to the finish line and was hugged by her mother.

The second obstacle in the Savage Dash was the water slide.

Running through the sprinkler in the final obstacle before the mud pit, the only question that most parents had was shouldn’t this be the last obstacle? Anyway it was a cool way to cool down in the hot weather.

Curtiss and Carter Mullinex are each sporting a face-painting animal that reflects their personality.

The speakers for the afternoon ceremony at the fish hatchery were (L to R) Spooner Mayor Gary Cuskey, Wisconsin Secretary of Tourism Stephanie Klett, WDNR Secretary Cathy Stepp and former Gov. Tommy G. Thompson.

magine, if you can, leaving your loved ones behind as you depart for a war zone. Think, if it is possible, how you would feel if you were told you had stage-four cancer and there was no treatment to help prolong your life. Consider, if you will, what you would do if you discovered that your loved one had abandoned you.

While we hear of these tragedies impacting others, few of us would welcome or want them to invade our lives or the lives of our loved ones. But what happens if they do? The psalmist gives us comfort if or when we must embrace the unwelcome tragedies of life.

“In times of trouble may the Lord answer your cry,” he writes. Not hear your cry, nor think about your cry nor put your cry on his waiting list. But may he answer your cry.

Life is filled with unexpected tragedies. One moment everything is the way we had planned it to be and the next moment things are upside down.

Often we are faced with unforeseen temptations that present choices we never thought we would have to face. But we do not face life alone. We have the protection of God, the power of the risen Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit to rescue us from defeat.

We cannot avoid the trials or tragedies of life. Nor do we need to face them alone. God is there to protect and defend us. Victory is ours when our lives are in God’s hands.

It’s was a foggy Monday and only 63 degrees. Kind of cool for August, the hot month.

Wednesday evening we got an inch of badly needed rain in about five minutes, along with some hail nearby and a strong north wind that did a number on our oat fields, flattening a lot of it.

At least we don’t have wildfires like they’re having in other places, and rain and mud slides and then there’s tropical storm Bertha in the south. We live in a pretty good place.

Karl and Krista Hansen and boys live in Osaki, Japan, and it’s typhoon season there. They have been watching Pacific tropical cyclone storm Halong and which way it’s heading.

Town of Sarona will have Board of Review at the town hall Monday, Aug. 11, from 5-7 p.m.

Bob Elliott, who has been volunteering in Oshkosh the past two weeks, flew to the Rice Lake Airport on Friday to visit his mom, Inez Elliott, at Maplecraft Apartments in Barron. They attended church at Sarona Methodist on Sunday.

Elfreda West attended a baby shower for her granddaughter, Sarah Schmitz, held at Mark and Debbie West’s of Madge on Saturday. The shower was hosted by Sarah’s sisters, Gina Noterman and Jessie West.

Sunday, Elfreda went to a birthday party for greatgrandchildren Nora and Reed Hastreiter, who are Joe

and Jennie’s children. The party was held at the Shell Lake beach.

Saturday, Sue Krantz, granddaughter Lainy and sisterin-law Jackie Smith attended the Pederson-Cummings wedding held at the Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Superior. Congratulations to Brent and Nicole.

The best is wished for Bob and Mary Knowton who recently opened a resale shop on Shell Lake’s Main Street called Fallen Leaves. It is really nice.

There was a pontoon float-a-thon held on Long Lake at the sandbar on Saturday, Aug. 2, with 58 pontoons this year. They had hopes of breaking their record of 75 last year.

The Freys, Tim and Alicia and Jim and Lynn and Jan and Jeff Johnston spend the past week at Armstrong, Ontario, and had a good time, good weather and good fishing. Gloria and Anton went to Jan and Jeff’s on Sunday night for supper and to see their pictures.

Peggy Frey and daughter Dona Knable, here from 29 Palms, Calif., visited at Anton and Gloria’s on Friday afternoon.

Gene Hendrickson and friend from the Twin Cities visited Mavis Schlapper on Sunday.

Cully is the son of Dewey and Patty Butterfield of Trego and grandson of Donna and Norm Ness and Glen Campbell.

Cory and Craig Furchtenicht pulled in the tractor pull at Almena Fun Days on Friday night. Their girls, Charlene and Sarah, also Russel, went to watch. They did OK. The fastest tractor puller was 34-1/2 miles an hour with the front end off the ground all the way. Fun to watch.

Stone Lake

by Mary Nilssen

Where did the summer go? I’m so thankful the gardens are really finally starting to produce wonderful veggies.

So far, we have put up 9 gallons of Dave’s wonderful pickles to enjoy for the rest of the year!

Everyone had fun at the Family Fun Day held in downtown Stone Lake on Saturday, Aug. 2. What a perfect day!

The Cranberry Crew Relay for Life Team invites you to join them this Friday, Aug. 8, 6 p.m. to midnight, at the Wesleyan Church in Hayward.

It’s time to take a walk in the Wetland Park. The trails in all directions are just beautiful these days and seven new memorial bricks have been added to the Memory Walk. Groups have been working and cleaning the bricks of their mossy carpet and removing the buckthorn, which tries to take over the park. They

Barronett

are trying hard to remove this unwanted growth and make it a thing of the past.

It’s amazing how beautiful the old trees become when that buckthorn is removed.

I have received several excellent comments on a restaurant that has reopened in Stone Lake. Summit Lake Grille will be open all year-round with an excellent menu to choose from and a Friday all-you-can-eat fish fry. They also have many shooting sports (by appointment), woodsy cabin rentals and a beautiful campground facility with showers and full hookups. For more information call 715-354-7241.

The Stone Lake Area Garden Club meets the first Friday of every month at 9:30 a.m.

If you would like to share gardening tips and topics with fellow gardeners, this is for you. Come join the club. All who share a love of gardening are welcome.

For more information please contact Jan Grilley at 715-635-2759, janookgrill@centurytel.net, or Ione Niehoff at 715-8652221, hnkoni@centurytel.net.

The Cranberry Festival is coming up real fast, on the first weekend in October. Be sure to get your cranberry recipes ready for the baking contest, and watch for information regarding the movie, “Cross Stitch,” that will be filmed in Stone Lake that weekend. Filming will occur at the festival and various places in the Stone Lake area.

James Brakken, author of locally set lumberjack novels, will return to Hayward’s Park Theater on Thursday, Aug. 21. Proceeds from this event will be used to provide large-print books to nursing homes and senior care centers in northern Wisconsin. Tickets are available in advance from Art Beat or ParkTheater-

Project.com, or for a higher fee at the door.

There is a discount for students. Door prizes, refreshments, books and CDs will be available.

The dump on Walters Road will be open every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until Friday, Sept 5. It will also be open year-round on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Don’t forget the farmers market held each Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. behind Marie’s in downtown Stone Lake. New vendors are always welcome. Call Teri at 715-558-1456 for more information.

Have a good week and be safe!

picking blueberries when he called, so I told him that if they would stay with us, I would make them blueberry muffins for breakfast. Pretty bad when a person has to bribe relatives to visit, isn’t it?

Randy Lehmann flew home from Portland for a visit with his mom and dad, Anitia and Don, this past weekend. They decided to have a very quiet day on Saturday, so they all stayed home and relaxed. On Sunday, however, they decided that relaxing wasn’t all that great so they gallivanted all over the place. They were invited to an open house/picnic at Susan Erickson-Orf and Dan Orf’s place south of New Richmond. Don, Anitia and Randy all commented on what a beautiful home Susan and Dan have, and what wonderful hosts they are. Angela Lehmann works for Susan, so she and her family were there too, and the kids were having a great time swimming and playing.

That evening Anitia called and asked me if I would like to go up to Lakeview for supper with them. Well, I had already eaten, but I went along anyway because I

haven’t had a chance to visit with Randy for a long time. He and John had gone on a trip to Spain recently, and he had lots of pictures to show us. They did a lot of sightseeing over there, and even went to the Rock of Gibraltar and northern Africa.

The pictures were fantastic. I want to go to Spain.

I asked Randy if he knew that, at one time, Spain was seriously considering giving the Rock of Gibraltar back to France.

Yup. They were going to rename it de Gaulle Stone. Oh brother.

John Forrestal mentioned that this August is a very unusual one. There are five Saturdays and five Sundays this month, and that only happens in August once every 843 years, according to what John read. That doesn’t seem right, does it? I would think that August would start on Friday or Saturday more often than that.

I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Hope you enjoy this beautiful weather, and I’ll see you next time.

by Judy Pieper

The congregation of Barronett Lutheran had the pleasure of welcoming Lloyd and Nancy Nelson and their grandchildren to our church on Sunday morning. Lloyd and Nancy are visiting from Texas and stopped by for worship service and to say hello to old friends. Lloyd is the son of Mable and Melvin Nelson who were longtime members of Barronett Lutheran. We are very glad they stopped in and hope they had a wonderful time visiting with friends and relatives in the area.

Everyone is cordially invited to Barronett Lutheran’s outdoor worship service, which will be held on Sunday, Aug. 17, at 9 a.m. We have folding chairs that can be used outside, but if you have lawn chairs it would be a good idea to bring them. I’m sure that they would be much more comfortable than those hard metal folding chairs. There will be a potluck brunch immediately following the worship service. Please plan to join us for the service, meal and conversation.

Congratulations go out to newlyweds Dave and Lisa (Kleinschmidt) Langley who were married on Saturday, Aug. 2, at Section Ten Lutheran Church. The bride was lovely in a floor-length cream-colored gown, and, of course, the groom looked very handsome in a black suit with red tie.

There was a reception for the happy couple at Skiddie’s following the ceremony.

Lots of friends and family wishing Dave and Lisa years of happiness attended the wedding and reception.

Burt and Laurel Hefty drove up from southern Wisconsin on Sunday to go to visit the cemetery at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Campia. It has been a little over a year since Burt’s mom, our aunt Helen, passed away, so they decided to drive up for the day. I met them at the cemetery, and then we got lunch to go from Subway, went to a park in Rice Lake,

Heart Lake We had a foggy morning on Monday, Aug. 4, here in Shell Lake. A beautiful weekend with a small shower on Sunday afternoon. I think the temperature was 60plus degrees on Monday morning.

Lillian Ullom visited her friends at the nursing homes on Sunday afternoon. She told me her granddaughter, Julie Butterfield, of Alachua, Fla., was up here for her 30th class reunion. Julie and her mom, Donna Ness, visited Lillian Ullom on Monday afternoon.

Judy and Myron Bolterman just returned from a week’s vacation in North Dakota where they visited Amy and Charlie Farrington and daughter Abigail.

They were there for Abigail’s first birthday. Birthday blessings to you, Abigail.

Sympathy to Roger Flach who lost his brother, Lawrence, 83, last Friday in Cumberland where they lived. Our prayers are with you, Roger and family.

Supper guests of Mary and John Marschall were son Brian and Jessie Gronning.

Wednesday, Audrey Carlson and Avis

and sat and visited for quite a while. It was so nice to see them. You know, southern Wisconsin isn’t all that far away, but it seems like it gets harder and harder to find the energy and time to drive down there to visit. Maybe we should all just start finding the time to visit and do other fun things.

I guess you probably know that machines and I really don’t get along very well, but that rider lawn mower is going to drive me completely batty. I was mowing up by the garden when Burt called, so I hurriedly parked the mower, took out the key, jumped in the car and drove over to Campia. When I got back I went up to the garden to finish the mowing and the battery on the mower was completely dead. It didn’t make a sound when I tried to start it. I called Duane; he’s on the road again, to ask him how to jump-start it, and he told me what to do. I decided to try starting it one more time before I went through all the trouble of connecting the jumper cables, etc. Well, I turned the key again and nothing happened. Then I noticed that the lever that starts the blades spinning was pulled up. Oops. I pushed it down, turned the key again, and it started right up. I think we should just get a few sheep to mow the grass for us.

The garden is growing like crazy. Everything is a little behind time because it was so late when we finally got it planted. But, the red potatoes are ready, the cabbage is forming heads, there are lots of tomatoes on the plants, and the beans will be ready to pick next week. The raspberries haven’t even blossomed yet, so maybe we won’t have any of those this year, but the blueberry bushes are covered with berries.

Curt Hefty called on Sunday. He and Mary Kay will be coming down from Anchorage on Aug. 20 for a class reunion and to visit MayDeen Farr, of course. I was

She got to watch her two grandkids show of their hard work.

My dog, Rory, was snooping on Sunday. Yes, by our grill Rory was a-snoopin’ and all of a sudden he yipped and came a-running for the house. Anyway it was a swarm of bees around our grill and they didn’t mess with Rory. They stung him! I’ll make a detour around it until I get some spray.

The names of the candidates for each office, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office under the appropriate party or other designation, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, if any, in the sample ballot below.

INFORMATION TO ELECTORS Upon entering the polling place, an elector shall state his or her name and address and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If an elector is not registered to vote, an elector may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence if the elector provides proof of residence. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the elector’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

At the partisan primary the elector shall select the party of his or her choice. Voting for candidates of more than one party may invalidate the ballot. You must cast a vote for individual candidates.

Where Hand-Count Paper Ballots are Used The elector shall choose the ballot of the party of his or her choice.

If the elector votes on more than one party ballot, no votes will be counted.

The elector shall then make a mark (X) in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote on the ballot of his or her choice. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the elector shall make a mark (X) in the square next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the elector shall make a mark (X) in the square next to “no” if opposed to the question.

Where Optical Scan Voting Systems Are Used • If a party preference is designated, and votes are cast for ballot candidates of another party or write-in votes are cast in another party, only votes cast in the designated party will count.

• If a party preference is not designated, and votes are cast for candidates (or write-in votes are cast) in more than one party, no votes will be counted.

The elector shall then fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote under the party of his or her choice. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote, and fill in the oval or connect the arrow on the write-in line. On referendum questions, the elector shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the elector shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to “no” if opposed to the question.

Where Touch-Screen Voting Systems Are Used The elector shall touch the screen next to the party of his or her choice. The elector shall then touch the screen next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the elector touch the screen next to “yes” if in favor of the question or the elector shall touch the screen next to “no” if opposed to the question.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutes time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the elector in marking his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

If an elector spoils a paper ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. The elector may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.

After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth and properly deposit the ballot.

After Voting The Ballot After an official paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors’ initials on the outside do show. The elector shall then deposit the

voted ballot in the ballot box (or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit), deposit the unvoted ballots in the discard box and promptly leave the polling place.

After an official touch-screen ballot is marked, the elector shall leave the polling place promptly.

An elector may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the elector.

The following is a sample of the official ballots (please note that candidates for 73rd and 75th Assembly District will not be combined on the official ballots at the polls – they are just listed together here as an example):
