Spooner Health is open
and has first inpatients
SPOONER - Spooner Health opened its
doors to patients on Thursday, May 19. The
new facility is located on the north side of
Spooner at 1280 Chandler Drive, just off CTH
H between Hwys. 63 and 53. All hospital services including outpatient and emergency care
are now at this new location.
The first of nine inpatients to be moved to
the new facility on Thursday morning was
Steve Ciarico. He was happy to be part of a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to a
new hospital. “I’ve been to my share of hospitals,” said Ciarico, “and my stay at Spooner
Health was truly a great experience.”
When asked what he thought about the new
hospital, he brought up the building’s beauty
and great view along with his appreciation for
the shower and excellent food. He was most
impressed with the staff, especially their sincere and genuine concern for him as a patient.

“If there’s a five-star rating, there needs to
be a special category for Spooner Health,” said
Ciarico. “They deserve above and beyond a
five-star. A lot of good things are going to happen in this new facility.”
Mike Schafer, Spooner Health CEO, was able
to greet all nine inpatients as they made their
way off the ambulance and into the new facility. “It was fun to see the patients excitement
and appreciation for the new hospital.”
“I want to extend a sincere thank-you to all
of our staff and the many other people and organizations who worked together to ensure a
safe and successful patient move,” says Schafer. “It is a large undertaking to move a hospital to a new location and we couldn’t have
done it without great teamwork.” — from

Shell Lake School Board approves staffing changes
Danielle Danford | Staff writer
SHELL LAKE - The Shell Lake School
Board approved several staffing changes
and elected board officers during their
regular monthly meeting on Monday,
May 16.
In staffing changes, the resignations of
two district staff members were accepted.
The board accepted the resignation of
Krissa Ward as school psychologist. In
Ward’s letter of resignation, she explained
she wanted to explore employment closer
to her home to be more available to her
young children. The board also accepted
the resignation of David Bouchard as
varsity boys basketball coach. Bouchard
coached for the district for 16 years. In
accepting their resignations, the board
thanked both Ward and Bouchard for
their years of service to the district.
The board then approved the hiring of
Joan Gard as business education teacher.
Gard fills the one-year position vacated by
Christina Cassano. Superintendent David
Bridenhagen told the board that after interviews the administration was very impressed with Gard. She has over 25 years
of teaching experience, holds multiple
certifications and has taught Web design,
keyboarding and business education.
The board also held officer elections,
with Stuart Olson elected as board presi-
dent on a unanimous vote. Pat Pesko and
Joel Anderson were nominated for the position of board vice president. After votes
were cast by ballot, Pat Pesko was elected
to the position by the majority. Linda
Nielsen was elected as clerk on a unanimous vote and Nicole Tims was elected
to the treasurer position on a unanimous
vote.
Annual food drive serves as reminder of food donation rules
Danielle Danford | Staff writer
SPOONER - “Ordinarily we do not look
anything like this, come back in a couple
of months and we will look normal,” said
Sue Adams, director of the Washburn
County Food Pantry. Since Saturday, May
14, food pantry volunteers have been
sorting through thousands of pounds
of nonperishable food donated through
the Stamp Out Hunger food drive done
by mail carriers. This year the drive collected 8,612 pounds of food for the Washburn County Food Pantry, surpassing last
year’s donation. The food from the Stamp
Out Hunger food drive is hoped to last
through the end of July or beginning of
August, but the drive often results in a
portion of expired or damaged goods
the pantry can’t do anything with, except
throw out.
“We always keep the oddest thing; this
is what we got, squid. Last year we got
octopus, and the oldest thing, ‘97 was the
oldest thing we got. Last year I think was
‘94. We have to throw that away,” said
Adams. Of the food donated through the
Stamp Out Hunger food drive, the pantry’s biggest food drive, about 180 to 200
pounds had to be thrown out because it
didn’t meet standards the pantry has to
follow.
“In terms of what we get it’s a very
small quantity,” she said. The pantry does
keep nonperishable food that’s expired by
two years, but it’s located on a separate
shelf and is left to the discretion of pantry
visitors to take. Adams explained the pantry has rules they have to follow in order
to help people in food emergencies.
“We are not permitted … we have all
these rules and regulations we have to
follow, when you’re a nonprofit, and we
do have nonprofit status,” she said. The
pantry is required to keep data on every
aspect of their operation, from the people
that they serve to the daily temperature of
the freezer where frozen foods are kept.
“The stuff on the shelf is all 2016, ‘17
and ’18, like you are at a grocery store,”
she said. The pantry can only hand out
food items that are in-date, or those that
are not past the manufacturers’ expiration date. The pantry also cannot give
out goods that are damaged or look poor.

People, will not allow the organization to
purchase food from them if they don’t follow their rules.
“Everything has to be up off the floor,
you can’t put laundry soap with food,
there’s just a lot of that stuff,” she said.
The pantry has an inspection once a year
to make sure they are in compliance;
without it the pantry wouldn’t be able to
help the 350 families they serve a month.
“The pantry was designed for people
that had lost their job or are in between
things and are having a little difficult
time,” she said. Now the food pantry is
providing service on a monthly basis to
people. These are usually senior citizens,
large families or multiple-family homes.
“We have homeless people living at the
Inn Town Motel because they can no longer afford rent. I had a lady that lived in
an ice shack all winter, they are having difficulty trying to pay the rent and they fall
through the cracks for low-income housing and those are the people we serve,”
she said. People are permitted to come to
the pantry once a month, but if they are in
need they won’t be turned away. Adams
says their statistics show that the majority of people they help come four or less
Washburn County Food Pantry starts
with filling out an application for emergency help. This covers basic information
including a name, contact information,
number of people in the household, and if
they receive other types of assistance like
SSI, food stamps or WIC. People aren’t
asked about their income.
“Lots of times if you lost your job you
really don’t know your income,” said
Adams. The pantry distributes food in a
box. The box filled with food is based on
how many people need to eat and their
ages, a pound of meat comes with every
food box.
“It basically is two days’ worth of help,”
she said. Adams said she spends about
$7,000 a month on food, which includes
purchasing milk and meat. Food is purchased through the Feed My People food
bank or local grocery stores, but only
when they have sales on goods that the
pantry needs, and they’re within a certain
price range.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Is Ruby’s Pantry Spooner going away?
Ruby’s Pantry has been running for five
years now. The food is brought to us from
our parent organization, Ruby’s Pantry
of North Branch, Minn. All of the food is
donated to Lyn Sahr’s organization and
we get a share of whatever is brought
to his warehouse each month. It’s a bit
like finding a can without a label! I call
it canned surprise. You never know what
is coming until you swing the back door
of the semitrailer open. Sometimes it is
great, sometimes it’s a bit unusual. The
good news is that for a $20 donation you
will always get four, five, maybe even six
times the value in food. I’ve had people
tell me that they appreciate the food because it extends their limited income.
That doesn’t mean that income regulates
who can come and get food. My favorite
saying is “the only qualification for coming is you must get hungry.”
Our core team of volunteers not only
sets up and passes out the food, but we
have been helping people experiencing a
financial bump in the road. We keep 10
percent of the donations to be used for
that purpose. On our own we have been
spending approximately $4,000 each year
to help with gas, rent, utilities, etc. Recently we have joined forces with Washburn Christian Outreach who, through
their volunteers, administers funds from
Ruby’s, The Salvation Army and WCO
funds donated by churches of Washburn
County. Last year the combined effort
aided 160 families with around $17,000 of
assistance.
In recent months, Ruby’s has experi-
enced decreasing numbers of people coming to get food. That is a concern because
it has a direct impact on dollars available
to help people of Washburn County. That
directly impacts our ability to contribute
to WCO and what the churches of the
county are doing. Of even greater concern is the fact that our volunteer numbers have diminished. We receive around
19 pallets of food and need to count what
is available as well as put it out on tables
for the people to see and select what they
would like. Traditionally we would have
40 to 50 volunteers to help. Lately our
numbers have been much lower. Many
hands make the load light. Unfortunately,
the reverse is true as well.
Are we going to go on? That is up to the
community. We need two things to suc-
ceed. Of most importance we need volunteers who are willing to serve three hours
one Saturday each month. Secondly, the
more people that come each month to receive food, the more funds are available
for our hands-up approach to assisting
people. Do you have time to come the
second Saturday morning of each month?
Consider helping us reach out to those in
need in our community. Are you a church
or community organization? We would
love to talk to your group to explain more
details. Give us a call.

Taking the confusion out of the new crosswalks
Larry Samson | Staff writer
SHELL LAKE - With the new crosswalk
and safety island on Hwy. 63 in Shell
Lake, pedestrian crossing should be safer,
according to Shell Lake Police Chief Dave
Wilson. Ultimately it is the responsibility
of the pedestrian for their own safety.
The Wisconsin statute states:
(1) At an intersection or crosswalk
where traffic is not controlled by traffic
control signals or by a traffic officer, the
operator of a vehicle shall yield the right
of way to a pedestrian, or to a person riding a bicycle or electric personal assistive
mobility device in a manner which is
consistent with the safe use of the crosswalk by pedestrians, who is crossing the
highway within a marked or unmarked
crosswalk.
(2) No pedestrian, bicyclist or rider of
an electric personal assistive mobility device shall suddenly leave a curb or other
place of safety and walk, run or ride into
the path of a vehicle which is so close that
it is difficult for the operator of the vehicle
to yield.
(3) Whenever any vehicle is stopped at
an intersection or crosswalk to permit a
pedestrian, bicyclist or rider of an electric
personal assistive mobility device to cross
the roadway, the operator of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not
overtake and pass the stopped vehicle.
The crosswalks going from Shell Lake’s
Main Street to the park are well marked
and are considered uncontrolled. Although there is an advisory signal, one
should not rely on it to stop traffic. While
there is a safety island, a pedestrian on the
island is considered in the crosswalk and
traffic must stop and remain stopped until
the pedestrian is on the sidewalk on the
opposite side of the road. Many drivers
break the law when they proceed through
the crosswalk with the pedestrian clear
but still in the crosswalk. The crosswalk
crossing Main Street traffic on Hwy. 63
must yield to pedestrians when turning
onto Main Street. A pedestrian crossing
the crosswalk should never assume that
the vehicle will stop.
Police Chief Dave Wilson is showing the newly installed warning lights. After the button is
pushed the warning lights will flash. The warning or advisory signal only lets the drivers know
your intention to cross; the pedestrian is still responsible for his or her own safety and should
cross with care.

Spooner Area Community Education offers more than classes
SPOONER - Spooner Area Community
Education engages exploration, connection and enrichment.
Community education connects resources and strengthens a community
through partnerships and citizen involvement, enhancing our community experience through networking and connecting
members in a learning center for all ages.
ComEd programming depends on active
school-community partnerships to enrich
the lives of all members while improving schools. Successful programming depends on all of us.
The concept of community education
has been around since before 1916. John
Dewey championed the contemporary
principle that the school must become a
unifying force in communities in his book
“Democracy and Education.” Today, more
than ever, public schools are rediscovering the importance of Dewey’s and also
Elise Clapp’s writings regarding how
schools and communities best work hand
in hand to provide maximum learning.
Clapp stated in her 1939 work, “A community school is a used place, a place
used freely and informally for all the
needs of living and learning. It is, in effect, the place where learning and living
converge.”
Lifelong learning positively impacts
growth for our students and community
members. The community education philosophy allows our school district to chart
a course toward helping all citizens meet
their educational needs instead of simply
focusing on K-12 youth in isolation from
the total community’s resources. ComEd
programming is meant to be offered at a
low cost to community members so few
barriers stand in the way of learning.
Revenue generated from program participants normally covers the costs of instructor payment and materials at as near
a break-even point as possible for community programming to continue.
There are many ways to pursue personal growth in the Spooner area, as a
participant or as a leader - after-school
youth programs, summer school, adult
education classes, field trips, business
partnerships and other planning opportunities. Nowhere else are the words “to
teach is to learn twice” more evident than
in Community ed programming. One
does not have to have mastered a subject in order to share it with others and
gain deeper understanding. A variety of
strengths and interests can be utilized in
SACE, helping to form smaller communities within the larger community.
Spooner Area Community Education
leaders have been sharing their passions
for finance, technology, arts, crafts, science, performing arts, Spanish, physical
activities, food foraging and cooking since
2005. Some leaders prefer teaching children, others prefer teaching adults, while
still others are open to teaching all ages!
Whatever the age group, community ed
is an opportunity to share knowledge of
a specific interest to help others grow in a
variety of aspects in their lives.
The community is strengthened when
others share their talents, interests and
skills with others. Fulfill community involvement desires by connecting in an assortment of ways through community ed
classes. SACE welcomes new leaders with
a variety of interests to share while bringing back favorites to continue the tradition of “keeping the lights on” in schools.
Leaders and class ideas are currently
being sought for fall classes. If you or
someone you know is interested in leading or joining community ed class opportunities contact Karen Collins, community
education coordinator, at 715-635-0243, or
email [email protected].
For more information on summer
school, fall classes or other Spooner Area
Community Education ventures or to
share ideas or names of individuals who
might lead contact Collins. All are welcome to explore, connect and enrich. —

Shell Lake Police Department to mobilize for
Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement
SHELL LAKE - Shell Lake Police Department has
joined hundreds of law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin for the annual Click It or Ticket safety belt
enforcement mobilization, which will run through June
5.
“Our officers are on the lookout day and night for unbuckled motorists. If you’re not wearing a safety belt, we
will stop your vehicle and you will get a ticket,” said
Shell Lake Chief of Police Dave Wilson. “During the
Click It or Ticket mobilization and throughout the year,
we stringently enforce Wisconsin’s mandatory safety belt
law to motivate motorists to buckle up every time they
drive or ride in a vehicle. Tragically, too many people are
needlessly injured or killed because they believed a crash
would never happen to them so they did not buckle up.”
In Wisconsin, approximately one out of five motorists
does not buckle up, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
“Consistent safety belt use is the most effective protection against being ejected from a vehicle during a crash,
or thrown around violently inside it and possibly hitting another person in the vehicle with massive force,”
Wilson says. “Our officers take safety belt enforcement
seriously in an effort to reach the ultimate goal of zero
preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.” — from Shell

Walking off the war
Larry Samson | Staff writer
SHELL LAKE - Many of the servicemen and women returning from Iraq and
Afghanistan bring with them the horrific
memories of war. Warrior Expedition is
a national organization of veterans helping veterans, as they know how to help.
Sean Gobin founded Warrior Expedition
after walking the full length of the Appalachian Trail. In the 2,185-mile hike he was
able to process and come to terms with his
war experiences.
Miles Vining from Bloomington, Ind.,
and Michael Maziarka, La Crosse, are
walking off their war experiences by way
of the Ice Age Trail. The trail starts in St
Croix Falls and ends in Door County. The
two hikers did not know each other before starting the hike. Vining is a Marine
veteran and Maziarka is an Army veteran.
By the end of the 1,200-mile hike they
might be the best of friends as they face
the challenges of the trail.
Last year Natalie Koffarnus and Jenni
Heisz walked the full length and returned
this year to support Maziarka and Vining. Heisz is living in North Dakota and
walked the first three days. Koffarnus is
a volunteer coordinator in Wisconsin for
Warrior Expedition and joined up with
them on Friday, May 20, to walk that last
A group of veterans welcomed two Iraqi War veterans to Shell Lake on Saturday, May 21. The two veterans finished their first week on the Ice Age
Hiking Trail, traveling 72 miles. The Shell Lake Post of the American Legion rolled out the red carpet with a dinner and fellowship at Lakeview Bar
and Grill. It was a time to exchange war stories and to build new friendships. — Photos by Larry Samson
day of the first week.
The Shell Lake Post of the American Legion hosted a dinner for the two hikers
at the Lakeview Bar and Grill on Saturday, May 21. The
dinner was attended by local veterans to
show their support of their service and
the challenges they will face on trail as the
walk away the war.

Vining pose with
the Warrior Expedition volunteer
coordinator, Natalie Koffarnus. Koffarnus joined up
to walk with them
on Friday, May 21.
When Jackie Brown at the Scoop ‘N Brew heard that the two veterans were in the area, she sent
the word out to stop by for an ice-cream cone. This will be a special treat for the 1,200-mile hikers.

Small savings add up to big dreams
when it comes to college
SPOONER - A doctor or singer or maybe
an astronaut? Young children have plenty
of dreams when it comes to what they
want to be when they grow up. Parents
know those career dreams keep changing
as their children get older and learn more
about the world around them. Parents
can also play a big role in those childhood
dreams through both conversations and
setting aside a little bit of savings.
New research on college savings accounts for young children suggests that
children with a college savings account
are four times more likely to enroll in college and about five times more likely to
graduate from college than a child with
no savings account. These enrollment and
graduation rates were found even in families with less than $500 saved for their
child’s future education.
“It’s not just about the money,” says
Peggy Olive, financial capability specialist with the University of WisconsinExtension and UW-Madison’s Center
for Financial Security. “When children
see their parents setting aside money for
their college education, it sends a powerful message to kids about the importance
of investing in their future.
“Having a little bit of money set aside
for college expenses helps create what we
call a college-bound identity,” adds Olive.
“Children grow up knowing they are ex-
pected to study some type of trade or career after high school.”
Children with a college-bound identity are found to do better in high school,
are more engaged in school, and even
get higher grades. Having a designated
college savings account is also linked to
more interaction between parents and
children about finances and the future.
Parents also benefit and report higher
levels of self-esteem and self-confidence
when they are able to set money aside.
One way that parents can begin to save
for their child’s college is to invest in a
state 529 plan. To raise awareness about
the ease and importance of using 529
plans to save for college, Sunday, May
29, is designated National 529 College
Savings Day.
In Wisconsin, an Edvest 529 plan can
be opened with a $25 contribution. Earnings in a 529 account grow both federal
and state tax free when used for qualified
higher education expenses. You can find
out more about Wisconsin’s college savings plans on their website, 529.wi.gov, or

LOCALLY OWNED AND PROUDLY SERVING YOU SINCE 1934
s we approach the last Monday in May, we are
A
preparing for the federal holiday set aside to
remember the men and women who died while serv-
ing our country. The United States’ Memorial Day was
originally known as Decoration Day, which first was
observed in 1868. Our Civil War was fought between
1861-1865.
After visiting the Shell Lake Public Library earlier
this spring, I returned home with a PBS series, “Mercy
Street,” on DVD that I had checked out for viewing.
“Mercy Street” is a medical drama depicting the Civil
War. Rather than showing the battlefield, the setting
is a mansion house/hotel owned by Southerners, the
Green family, that is turned into a Union hospital, much
to their dislike. It is in Union-occupied Alexandria, Va.
The show follows the lives of two volunteer nurses on
“Mercy Street”
Beyond the
office door
Abraham Lincoln visiting the hospital. An assassination
attempt was in place and diverted because the person
involved saw his loved one standing next to the president as the fuse to a black-powder keg was lit.
The only actor I recognized in the series is Josh Radnor who portrays Dr. Jed Foster. Radnor is best known
for his role as Ted in the CBS series “How I Met Your
Mother.”
“Mercy Street” will return for season two on PBS in
January 2017.
American soldiers have been called to active duty
many times in our country’s history. Let us not forget
the sacrifices that have been made to ensure our freedom. Even just the fact that I can sit in my comfortable
home and watch a television series at my leisure without the fear of attack is a blessing.

It is said that “Mercy Street” was inspired by real
people and events. I’m not sure how much liberty was
taken when the story line in episode six had President

to be important, so I will most likely join the folks here
Heroes of
yesterday
O
fttimes in moments of idleness
my thoughts will wander
to favorite places, to my
personal champions of
categorical stardom. This
particular day would be
one of military wonderment.
Leading the U.S. Navy in WWII
would be one Chester W. Nimitz, the
man who ran the show for the Navy
in the Pacific. Nimitz was a low-key,
soft-spoken individual not prone to
criticism of his subordinates. Ever
thoughtful of the ranks, he interested
himself in every aspect of naval warfare from the highest command to
the task of the lowest seaman. Nimitz
possessed enviable qualities. He was a
four-star admiral.
There were many fine people in the
other services, too many to write about
in this story.
I will finish with a well-known story
about a lesser-known man. H.W.O.
Kinnard was the G-3 (operations) of
the 101st Airborne Division. On the
22nd of December in 1944, during
the heat of the Battle of the Bulge,
Col. Kinnard, along with other staff
members, found themselves in a cellar
hopefully away from German artillery.
The 101st Airborne Division was then
hopelessly surrounded by the German
Army and at that point the German
commander extended to the division
commander of the 101st Airborne Division an ultimatum, “Surrender or we’ll
blow the town of Bastogne to bits,”
or something similar. Acting division
commander Brig. Gen. Anthony C.
McAuliffe muttered the word “nuts”
as he found a piece of paper to write
on. McAuliffe wondered aloud as to
what he should say. Kinnard came
back with, “That last crack you made,
Sir, was a good one.” The answer
would simply be “nuts.” As they say,
the rest is history. However, our story
isn’t quite over.
Lt. Col. Kinnard went on to become
Maj. Gen. Kinnard. He was the com-

honor the dead. Our family always included remembering all of our family members who passed away and
were buried in a local cemetery. By the end of May,
the peonies would be blooming, and I would help our
family carry bouquets of them, and other flowers, to
decorate graves. We might have clumps of violets to set
in the ground, as you were allowed to put them on the
graves in the cemetery at that time. Fresh flowers would
not last long, but they added their color, pink and red
and white blooms, and their scent to the air, speaking
volumes in their solemn beauty.
Some people stayed home or went to community
events. We usually had a family picnic at a grassy place
near the river where the farmers allowed people to
spend their holiday near the woods in nature’s quiet
environment. There would be a few folks with their
families. No crowds, just a lot of space for us kids to run
and enjoy being free outdoors.

Bud Hoekstra
manding general of
the 1st Cavalry Division. Myself, Bud
Hoekstra, arriving at Fort Benning,
Ga., from Korea, was one day on my
way from Harmony Church to Main
Post, nine miles. I was hitchhiking and
that was against regulations.
Suddenly in the distance rounding
the curve, I spied a sedan displaying
two big stars. Two stars meant major
general and instead of the usual buttchewing, this would be a royal buttchewing. I hoped he wouldn’t stop,
but he did. The big sedan cruised to
a stop and the driver, a sergeant E-5,
motioned for me to get in. I jumped
into the passenger side of the front seat
and the general asked me where I was
going. “I’m heading for the gym on
Main Post, Sir!” The general thought
that was a good idea, declining to
mention the breach of regulations. I
had read about his suggestion of the
word “nuts” some 20 years earlier, but
thought better of asking him about it.
The general was now home and as he
got out, he told his driver, to “Drop
this gentleman off at the gym.” I now
alluded to the sergeant that I thought
that I would be in for the butt-chewing
of my life, two stars and all. The sergeant had a subtle smirk on his face
and simply offered, “That’s what the
general has colonels for.”
Gen. Kinnard took the 1st Cavalry
Division to Vietnam and retired a lieutenant general rating three stars. I was
too short* for Vietnam, and watched
the cav go. Soon after that I was discharged. *Short means released from
active duty, not enough time left for
Vietnam.
I salute the men and women that
sacrificed their lives to ensure that
freedom would always be the American way.

in town who gather after a parade to honor the people
who served in the military. I hope I will see and hear the
strident music of the school band. It is always a pleasure. It’s good to see and hear the marching band, and
the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. I know it is a time to
visit cemeteries. That may be my goal, but I may choose
to remain at home and celebrate quietly with family
members. I look for sunshine on this day that is really
the best holiday I recall from my younger days as it was
the kickoff to the summer vacation for schoolchildren.
As a child, the national holiday was celebrated in
every small town and always there were parades and
band music and veterans marching, as well as political
speeches and other civic ceremonies. These were well
attended. The cemetery would be a sea of floral tributes
and flags were flown from every front porch and business place. People even decorated cars with little flags.
You would be with your family and you could visit
with people you hadn’t seen for a while. You would see
the new babies and how much some kids had grown.
There were always friendly greetings, joking and laughing going on, and kids in their summer clothes. It was
usually very hot weather. In my childhood hometown
they had a church service in the cemetery. It was almost
like the Fourth of July but no fireworks.
The reason for this day is to decorate graves and
One part of the holiday I remember is something we
don’t hear much about anymore. We would not pass
the day without hearing the reports on the radio news
of the number of traffic fatalities that were mounting
hourly. While we tuned in to listen to the auto race at
the Indianapolis Speedway, we could hear about the
racers in the lead and, in between, the news would
come on giving the accident reports. This was tragedy
happening when ordinary people drove out to celebrate
their holiday and became victims of traffic accidents.
There would be hundreds of people who were killed.
It was like the states were competing to see if they
could have more fatalities than other states. It would
be broadcast in such a normal way, as news was given,
that as a child I would wonder if we would get home
safely from our picnic. It is heroic to give one’s life for
their country, but to give it up to traffic on a holiday,
that was more tragic.
My memories of family history in the military go
back to World War I, when two of my uncles fought in
Europe, helping the French be free. Then came WWII,
when I was a child, and many men from our town died
in that war. The people who were in the service are remembered for their bravery in the service of their country. We honor their sacrifice so that we remain free. We
can be thankful that seat belts and the latest automobiles designed with safety of the drivers and passengers
in mind have led to far fewer fatalities on our highways.

Shell Lake sweeps St. Croix Falls,
Frederic and Unity
SPORTS
Shell Lake top seed in playoff
First baseman Logan Zebro watches the ball land into his mitt as the throw is made on the pickoff. It is important for the pitcher to make that throw to keep the runner close to the base.
Cassidy Schroeder takes a few practice swings before stepping up to bat. The Lakers have
been hot as they wind up their regular season finishing second in the Lakeland West Conference,
three games behind Grantsburg. In the last three games the Lakers outscored their opponents
41-5. Shell Lake swept St. Croix Falls in a doubleheader, 8-7 and 10-5, on Monday, May 16.
The Unity base runner tries to jump over James Crawford on this tag but he is unsuccessful.
Unity is the No. 1 team in the Lakeland West Conference, taking Shell Lake 7-0 in their first game on
Thursday, May 19, and 4-3 in their second game on Saturday, May 21. Shell Lake is the top-seeded
team in their Division 4 regional because they play in a Division 3 conference.
Grace Anderson arrives at second base just as the throw is caught. Through smart baserunning, Shell Lake swept Unity in a doubleheader, 7-3 and 17-5, on Thursday, May 19.

is steadfast O God; My heart is steadfast.” So committed was he to the
Lord that he emphasized the word steadfast by stating it twice. But there
is something more.
The word steadfast can also be interpreted, even more correctly in this
verse, as confident! Here we find David, after trying many different paths
to find satisfaction, finally found it in God. It was his firm faith that was
the result of an inner transformation that was now going to be visible by
the way he worshiped and served God.
When we completely commit our lives to God, he will give us his guidance system to control the destiny of our lives. His word will become our
azimuth.

Judy Pieper
Dewey-LaFollette
to North Myrtle Beach, S.C., with Cru, Campus Crusade
for Christ. Allison is a student at Lake Superior College
in Duluth, and has been working full time at a hospital.
She applied for the trip to South Carolina, went through
the screening process and was accepted for the summer
mission. She will be gone for 10 weeks. To say that her
mom, Carol Johnson, is proud of her would be an understatement. Actually, we all are. We all wish her good luck
on her trip and hope she will be able to take some time to
relax while she’s in South Carolina.
Caitlyn Weaver, granddaughter of Rick and Joan
Stetler, will be graduating from Cumberland High School
this year. Caitlyn plans to take a year off from school. She
will be working for a family carnival in Wisconsin and
Minnesota this summer, and then plans to move to Santa
Barbara, Calif., in the fall. Caitlyn plans to get a job in
Santa Barbara, decide on what she wants to do, and then
go to a college in California next year. Sounds like a fun
way to spend the year after graduation. Congratulations
and good luck Caitlyn.
Don Lehmann celebrated a birthday this past week
with a party at the hunting shack hosted by Anitia. There
were lots of family and friends there to help him celebrate, and, of course, Anitia had plenty of delicious food
for everyone and a German chocolate cake. It wouldn’t
have been a party for Don without that. I won’t tell you
how old Don is, but it’s about time he retires. He won’t
do that, of course. No one can keep him out of the tractors, not that they try. But you could slow down a little,
Don. Happy birthday.
Most of you probably know that the chief cook and
owner of the Red Brick, Deb Lehmann, has been off work
due to illness for the past week or so. Sharai Hefty said
she would like everyone to keep their fingers crossed
and hope for Deb’s speedy recovery because, until she
comes back to work, customers are going to have to put
up with Sharai’s cooking. Sharai’s too hard on herself.
She’s doing a great job. But we all hope that Deb’s feeling
better soon.
Our family had a great trip to Massachusetts. Jerry
and Savanna Marsh and Lynn, Garett, Kandice and Kane
Thon flew out, but Duane and I drove. We are all so proud
of Sanara. She graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a degree in management engineering with
operations management. WPI is a very small campus, so
it didn’t take long for Sanara to show us around. The
buildings and grounds are absolutely beautiful. Most
of the buildings were built in the middle 1800s. And, in
about the middle of the campus is a fantastic beech tree
that is about 150 years old. I plan to plant a beech tree as
soon as possible, but I’m afraid Duane and I will never
see it get as big as that one is. It was awe inspiring.
And, of course, Sanara took us for a walking tour of the
freedom trail in Boston and showed us the office building she will be working in. We didn’t walk the entire freedom trail, but we covered over six miles of it. It was so
interesting that we didn’t even notice until the next day
that we had walked so far.
On the way home, Duane and I stopped for a day at
Niagara Falls. Awesome! And then stopped in Madison
for lunch with Jim Copus, Ed and Charlene Hefty, and
Sue Meier and a trip through the arboretum. Duane and
I had gone to the arboretum last fall and he wanted to see
how it looks in the spring. We had a wonderful trip, but
it’s always great to get home again.

Lynn Thon and I had a big day on Saturday. We started
out in Rice Lake where Wrigley Marsh was playing Tball. Those little guys are really out there trying like the
big kids. They only play one inning, and everyone one
gets to bat and run the bases. When it was Wrigley’s turn
to bat, we were all ready to cheer him on but, after telling
the coach something, he ran away from home plate and
she called another little batter up. Well, the reason he ran
out was that he had picked up a rock and some flowers
(weeds) for his mom and he came out to the bleachers
and asked me to hold them for him so he could bat. T-ball
is pretty informal. Anyway, when he did get up to bat he
hit the ball pretty good and made it to first base. Then,
when all the runners started up again, he ran to second,
then third and then passed the little guy who was running from third and got home before him. It was fun.
Oh, one other thing about T-ball. Oliver Barta’s mom
was trying to explain to him what he would be doing at
the game, and she said that he would bat the ball, run
to first, then run to second, then to third and finally run
home. Oliver was a little upset about that, looked up at
her, and asked, “Can’t I just run to Aunt (someone’s)
house? That’s closer.”
OK, from Rice Lake we drove down to White Bear
Lake to watch Tru Lehmann at her very first gymnastics
meet. Tru’s group had about 60 kids participating, and
they did the balance beam and bars and did somersaults
and other gymnastic-type moves. Tru really did a great
job at the meet and looked lovely in her new leotard. I
hope she stays interested in gymnastics because it was so
much fun going to the meet and watching her perform.
She is adorable.
I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this
week. It’s great to be home! See you next time.
Heart Lake
Helen V. Pederson
On Monday morning we had beautiful weather. They
predict showers for the end of the week.
Our sympathy to the family of Dorothy Anderson who
passed away at Terraceview Living Center over the weekend. She had been a resident of Glenview before transferring to TLC. She was a jolly person who loved to dance.
Alvin Olson and his wife, Judy, of Florida, are here visiting relatives and friends for a month or so. He is the
brother of Arlys Santiago and the father of Heidi Hile.
He grew up in Heart Lake, the son of Harry and Olivia
Olson. Harry was one of 15 children growing up in Timberland.
Marion Shattuck returned back to Glenview after
spending a couple of weeks with her son in Middleton.
Marion’s son, Jim, lives in Trego and Jim’s wife, Kathy, is
in Milwaukee helping her daughter, Lexie, who just had
a baby. Kathy is the daughter of Dorothy Anderson, who
just passed away.
Nick Pederson was here from the Twin Cities visiting
his dad, Jeff, and also Brent and Nicole. He got in a little
turkey hunting, too.
On Saturday, Cheri Minot and Michelle and Tanya
went to Chanhassen Dinner Theatre to see “Beauty and
the Beast.”
On Sunday, Cheri Minot had a birthday dinner for Lori
Sumner, along with her dad, Peder, and Mark Minot.
Birthday greetings, Lori!
Last Thursday, Curt Pederson came up to do some
work for his dad, Peder, and he treated Curt and Cheri
to lunch.
A group from Glenview went to the Lakeview Bar and
Grill for lunch on Thursday. Last Saturday we had a recital with Shania playing the piano.
On Saturday, May 21, Sue and Larry came to take me to
a birthday party for 1-year-old Colton, grandson of Tim
and Sue Pederson. It was held at Chippewa Falls. Happy
birthday, Colton!
Birthday greeting also to Zino Tully, Bunn Weathers
and Nate Collins, who all turned another year older.

I have to thank Sharai Hefty for doing the news for
me last week. Poor Sharai, I dropped it on her at the last
minute. I thought Lynn Thon was taking her laptop with
her on vacation, but she didn’t, so I didn’t have any way
to do it out there. Actually, I could have gone to a library,
I guess, but it was a good excuse to be lazy. Anyway, I
really appreciate the way Sharai always steps up to the
plate for me when I ask.
Oh, and speaking of Sharai, she and I are going to
host a Hefty/Kittleson family reunion in August. We are
going to send out invitations to as many relatives as we
can think of, but if you happen to be a descendent of Bill
and Ellen Hefty or Gifford and Alvina Kittleson, and we
miss sending you an invitation, please feel free to join us.
It will be held on Aug. 20 at the shelter by the basketball
court in Cumberland.
Tonja Metnik called with some very good news for
those of you who missed the plant sale at Wiesner Chapel
a couple of weeks ago. The Cumberland ECU is holding
their annual plant sale as we speak. It started Monday,
May 23, and will run until Monday, May 30. The sale is
open daily from 6:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. If there is anything
you need in the way of perennials or vegetables, stop in
there first. The only way you could possibly get a better
deal for anything you need for your garden would be if
one of your friends happened to be cleaning out their
perennials and decided to give them away. Trust me on
this, you really don’t want to miss this sale.
Kaylee Peer is the proud winner of the Fire Poster
Contest of the second grade at Cumberland Elementary
School. Her winning picture was a picture of Sparky the
fire dog wearing a fire helmet and in big red bubble letters the words “Go Sparky.” She was superexcited about
getting a ride home from school in the fire truck. She
said that it was very difficult to buckle up in the back of
the truck and that it feels as though the truck was going
backward. There were four children who won the contest, and so four little passengers in the truck. The child
who would be getting dropped off at home was the one
who sat in front, and the rest were in back. Well, Kaylee
was the last to be dropped off so she had a chance to sit
in back for most of the ride. She said that the sirens are
in front of the truck, so when the sirens were going and
she was sitting in front, it was almost impossible to hear
what anyone was saying.
Oh, before the trip home, though, the kids were treated
to a Dilly Bar at the Cumberland Dairy Queen. And,
Kaylee said that one of the firemen on the truck was the
brother of a teacher at school and one of them was her
mom’s boss at 3-M, so she said that she had a great time
talking with them. Kaylee told her mom, Ali, that the ride
home in the fire truck was a better gift than anything.
Trystin Neitzel, who plays baseball for both the JV and
varsity teams in Cumberland, had a fantastic game for JV
last week. He hit his first home run of the season. Actually, that wouldn’t have been such a big deal if the bases
hadn’t been loaded, so the home run just happened to be
a grand slam. Yea Trystin! The coach offered to give him
the ball to keep for a memento, but Trystin didn’t take
it. Actually, they only had three game balls and Trystin
didn’t want them to have to play with only two. Cumberland won that game, by the way, with a score of 16 to 8.

Talking with Myrna Atkinson, she tells us she has part
Stone Lake
of her garden in and plans to put the rest in this coming

and are having it installed.
Spooner seniors graduate on Friday, May 27, as will
Shell Lake. We wish the grads a great future.
Doug and Karen Vanderhoof joined the Cash Vanderhoofs for Mother’s Day and had supper out together. It’s
too bad the Vanderhoofs have to come home and milk
those bossies. They certainly tie you down, don’t they?
Congratulations to Tim Pederson who was named the
Wisconsin Association Career and Technical Education
Outstanding Instructor at the 80th awards banquet held
April 15 in Oshkosh. After teaching 29 years, you certainly deserve it.
Talking with Diane Hulleman, she tells me she got her
garden planted now and is working on all the flowers
she’s putting in this year. Diane visited with a number of
other ladies and they visited with Mary Jane Dunn. On
Saturday morning, the Chad Jensens came to stay overnight with Diane. They left Sunday forenoon. While here
they went to Butternut Hills for a graduation.
I certainly wish someone would take a bunch of coyotes out. For the past 1-1/2 weeks they’ve been in Richy’s
pasture a-howling every night. His cows beller and run
as I hear them getting further and further away from my
home. I’ve called a number of times to Richy’s to get him
up and he just keeps snoring. Saturday night they were
on the west side of my house and also on the east side.
It’s getting scary. Diane Hulleman says there was a coyote out across the road from her house.

Summer is fast approaching with Memorial Day already here. The much warmer weather is right around
the corner, so get your summer clothes out and be ready.
The trilliums are blooming! The warm week and pleasant sunshine have brought the trillium to life in the wetland park. If you get a chance, take a walk and enjoy
the peace and tranquility of the trails and the beauty
of the blooming trillium and opening ferns. If you are
concerned about mosquitoes or ticks, there is a can of
Cutter Repellent placed at each entrance to the park for
everyone to use.
The article in the Sawyer County Record this week
stated that “research is showing that removing buckthorn has resulted in fewer ticks.” That sounds like great
news for all of us. Buckhorn cutting is beginning again
at the wetland park, and the DNR is encouraging people
to remove buckthorn that is growing in their own backyard. If you would like to know more about how to eradicate it at your home, call 715-865-5091 and the wetland
park committee will give you some helpful information.
Five new bricks have been placed in the Memory Walk
as you read this, so come and remember the families memorialized there. Most recent count on engraved memorial bricks is 246.
The Stone Lake Area Historical Society Museum opens
for the season at noon on Friday, May 27. Come and
enjoy the many new displays and enjoy a visit with one
of your neighbors who may be the museum greeter that
day. We can always use folks who are willing to give four
hours per month, or even once a season, to act as the
greeter for the museum. Without these wonderful volunteers, the museum could not be open Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday each week. Remember, the museum opens
at noon and closes at 4 p.m. on those days. If you have a
special event, perhaps a family reunion, and would like
to visit the museum on a day it is not open, we will do
our best to accommodate you. Just call 715-865-5091 or
715-865-4940 to make arrangements.
There will be Memorial Day services at the Evergreen
Cemetery on Monday, May 30, at 1 p.m. Please come out
and honor our veterans.
The Stone Lake Area Chamber of Commerce is putting every effort into making Stone Lake a community in
which to live and prosper and they are committed to seeing our area thrive and grow. It is in the town’s best interest to encourage new businesses and visitors to the area,
and that endeavor is enhanced by the overall welcoming
appearance expressed when visitors come to town.
They are asking local businesses and homeowners to
put their best foot forward to present a town that is proud
of its heritage and welcoming to local residents and visitors. Please take the time to look around your properties
and consider a cleanup and repair effort where it may
be needed. There is currently a housing shortage in our
area which means presenting a clean, well-maintained
property enhances values for you, your neighborhood
and the community.
The annual Stone Lake Area Garage Sale will be held
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 4. Sign-up forms
may be picked up at local Stone Lake businesses in
downtown Stone Lake or online at stonelakewi.com.

and information are posted at the hall.
The Stone Lake Farmers Market will begin Thursday,
May 26, from 2 to 6 p.m. and will continue every Thursday through Sept. 15. The new location is at Northwest
Wisconsin Realty at the corner of Hwy. 70 and Main

Mark July 9 on your calendars. The Stone Lake Senior
Center will again have a pig roast at Red Schoolhouse
Wines. Also in July, Bingo will begin on the patio of Red
Schoolhouse Wines on Wednesdays.
Be a greeter at the Stone Lake History Museum. A fun,
interesting afternoon with a visiting grandchild, niece,
nephew or friend. A mere four hours meeting nice people and enjoying the history of our Stone Lake community. How does it work? Meet at the museum at 11:30
a.m. Put up the flag, open the caboose, and turn on the
lights, then greet visitors. At 4 p.m., bring the flag in,
lock up the caboose, and turn off the lights. Volunteer
for any Friday, Saturday or Sunday, June through September. Call Christine Maestri at 715- 865-4131 or email
Chris at [email protected].
Have a wonderful Memorial weekend and be safe.

and Peggy Vesta and Don Lane. They were having a gab
fest around Evelyn’s table. Too bad the table can’t talk as
we’d hear some great stories.
I see Richy’s corn is up along with others in the area.
Myself, I’d like to turn the corn plants upside down and
plant them with the ears down.
Some farmers are already chopping their alfalfa. I see
their trucks go by pulling the self-unloading wagons. I
also hear one farmer is done with the chopping. Great

This past week, we’ve had just fantastic weather, picture-perfect summer days and a beautiful, full moon on
the weekend to enjoy. It’s time to make hay, but is sounds
like some unsettled weather for this week ahead and we
need rain badly, it’s getting pretty dry.
Folks have reported lots of orioles this year, enjoying
jelly and syrup feeders, along with the hummers competing. Grandson Ryan said they had a blue bunting. I
saw my first fawn of the year on May 19 by the walking
bridge down by the pond. It was so little. I have three
families of goslings of different sizes. Only one in one,
three in one, and eight little ones in the biggest bunch.
So neat to watch them, single file with an adult on both
ends. I have always wondered if it’s Mom or Dad taking
the lead.
The woodlands are full to trilliums and the fronds of
the fiddlehead ferns are forming.
Some folks say mosquitoes are starting. I haven’t seen
one yet, but that’s OK.
Daughter Mary sent me a phone picture of a tent of caterpillars that she saw while out walking. Said there were
seven or eight webs of those creepy things. Hope we
don’t get them again. I remember years ago when there
were so many they brought in some big black friendly
flies to get rid of them.
Our May days are numbered now and the busy Memorial weekend is coming up. The warm days should bring
fish closer to the shores for folks.
The Zimmermans, Janet, Marilyn and Renee, have
been working faithfully getting the Sarona Cemetery
shaped up as they always do. Our thanks to them.
Talked to Gloria Frey. She reports son Jim is about the
same. His siblings, also Pete’s son, Ben, all went down to
the Twin Cities to see him on Sunday. Do keep Jim and
the family in your prayers. They’re taking one day at a
time.
Renee Zimmerman, Ben and Brianna LaVeau and
Michelle Magnes went together and took in a Brewers
game recently. Janet and Marilyn Zimmerman had attended the new Spooner hospital open house and report
it’s beautiful.
Charlotte Ross visited Elfreda West one day and Joe

and Deb Elbe visited and brought her some goodies after
church on Sunday.
Al and Jolene Loew attended a graduation party in
Menomonie for grandson Andrew who graduated from
WITC in Rice Lake. He has already gotten a job with a
contractor. Jolene is feeling some better. She got a shot in
her shoulder for her arthritis.
Ryan and Jessie Furchtenicht threw a little party for his
help on Friday night. They are starting another season in
the concrete business.
Russ Furchtenicht attended a meeting in Eau Claire
one day for town chairmen and others from this northwest area on our rural roads that are in need of repair
and where the money is coming from. Our town isn’t
in too bad of shape because we had revenue from the
landfill for several years, a few years ago.
Son Russ, Nancy and Arianne stopped down one evening and Roger came and mowed the yard. It’s so nice to
have kids. I’m so lucky.
Visitors at my house this past week were Ryan, Jessie
Furchtenicht and kids one night; Ben Helmer on Wednesday; Al and Jolene Loew stopped, bringing a beautiful
solar gazing ball for on the deck; brother-in-law Merle
Wilber had lunch with me, he came down after visiting
Sharon at the swing bed in the new Spooner hospital;
Libbie DeTrent came out after church Sunday with some
goodies; Norm and Donna Ness visited Sunday evening
bringing her famous luscious peach Bundt cake and pink
petunias for me. Glad to report Norm is feeling some better after getting a shot for back problems. So keep on the
mend Norm. It’s time to garden!
Friday, daughter Mary took me to Mayo in Eau Claire
for a pacemaker follow-up. Sara Mathison and little
Grant went with us. So we had a good day together.
Birthday wishes this
week to these folks: Pat

Civics class re-enacts accident
In this re-enacted scene of a car crash, Ashley Clark is taken from the scene of the accident. She
survived because she was wearing a seat belt. Her father was not so lucky as he died at the scene while
her mother was airlifted out with extensive injuries. In this scenario an alcohol-impaired driver struck
her family car.
At the scene of a horrific accident, the EMTs from North Memorial and the Shell Lake Fire
Department work feverishly to care for the victims. While this is a re-enactment, events like
this one are real and happen far too frequently in Wisconsin.
One “victim” was airlifted out by a North Memorial helicopter. Amy Skattebo was loaded
onto the helicopter and flown out to a level-one trauma center.
Washburn County coroner Sarah McCumber was on the scene to deal with the deaths,
much like she would be if it were a real accident. It felt too real for many of those participating in the re-enactment. Many of the responders said they have been to worse accidents.
You could have heard a pin drop as the seventh- to 12th-grade students at the Shell Lake School
watched a traffic accident re-enactment on Friday, May 20. The re-enactment was hosted by the high
school civics class as a final project for the school year. They worked with Washburn County Sheriff’s
Deputy William Schafer to coordinate North Memorial Ambulance, Wisconsin State Patrol, the Shell
Lake Fire Department and local law enforcement officers for the event.
In the midst of all the chaos, State Patrol Officer Evan Fox gives the “drunk driver” a field sobriety
test. It is determined that he is impaired. He is cuffed and loaded into the state patrol car and driven
away. Fox is a graduate of Shell Lake and has chosen to serve and to protect.
