SHELL LAKE - On Thursday, May 26, Jordan Lagarde, 27, Shell Lake, was sentenced in
Washburn County Court
on two counts of seconddegree sexual assault of a
child.
On Feb. 29, Lagarde
pleaded no contest to the
charges, representing two
victims that were both
under the age of 16 at the
time of the offenses. Lagarde’s plea resulted in his
being found guilty on both
charges, which are felony Jordan Lagarde
class C offenses, the third
highest severity felony charge in the state. This
charge carries a fine of not more than $100,000
or imprisonment of not more than 40 years, or
both.
The offenses stem from an incident that oc-
curred on Saturday, April 26, 2014, at the Lagarde residence located in the Town of Bashaw.
The incident was investigated by the Washburn County Sheriff’s Office in August of 2015
after the two victims made statements that Lagarde had sexually assaulted them.
According to the statements given by the
victims and Lagarde, the two victims, both 13
years old at the time, were asleep on Lagarde’s
living room couch when he grabbed one victim’s buttocks and touched the other on her
legs and breasts. Lagarde admitted to these
acts while being questioned by a Washburn
County Sheriff’s Office investigator. Both victims’ families knew Lagarde as they
attended the same church.
In questioning by the investigator, Lagarde
admitted to several other incidents where he
touched another underage individual and an
adult female. He also admitted to taking phoSee Shell Lake man, Page 3

Thirtieth anniversary of the Law Enforcement
Torch Run for Special Olympics-Wisconsin set
SPOONER - 2016 marks the 30th anniversary of the continued relationship
between Wisconsin law enforcement and
Special Olympics-Wisconsin.
In order to raise funds and awareness for the Washburn County Special
Olympic Team, once again this year the
Washburn County Sheriff’s Office, along
with the Spooner, Shell Lake, Minong
and Birchwood police departments and
the Wisconsin State Patrol will be holding the 2016 Torch Run event in Spooner
on Thursday, June 9.
Each year the Washburn County team
has a send-off at the Spooner Kwik Trip as
they board the team bus and head to their
Olympic games in Stevens Point. This
year there will be a law enforcement community walk through Spooner and the
Special Olympians can join in. The plan is
to leave the parking lot next to O’Reilly’s
Auto Parts at 9 a.m. and walk through
Spooner escorted by agency squad cars
to Kwik Trip. Members of the team will
either start with the group
or join in along the way,
or meet up at Kwik Trip.
This is a great way to get
to know the team and raise
awareness as many residents of Washburn County
may not know that it fields
a team, and the value it
adds to to the community.

Summer food service program offered at Spooner
SPOONER - Stressing the importance
of offering nutritious meals to children
during the summer months, the Spooner
Area School District announces the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program,
which is funded by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and is administered by the
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and
reduced-price school meals are typically
unavailable. Free meals will be made
available to children 18 years of age and
under. Persons over 18 years of age who
are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or
physically disabled and who also par-
ticipate in a public or private nonprofit
school program during the regular school
year may receive free meals as well.
The following locations will be serving the free meals this summer: Spooner
Elementary School, June 20 through June
30, Monday through Thursday. Breakfast
will be served 7:30 to 8 a.m., and lunch
will be served 12:15 to 1 p.m. Meals are
provided to eligible children regardless of
race, color, national origin, age, gender or
disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
This program fills a void created when
school lunches are not available; helping
parents meet the nutritional needs of their
children is the strength of this program.
The U.S Department of Agriculture
prohibits discrimination against its cus-
tomers, employees and applicants for
employment on the bases of race, color,
national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where
applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual
orientation, or all or part of an individual’s income is derived from any public
assistance program, or protected genetic
information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by
the Department. Not all prohibited bases
will apply to all programs and/or employment activities.)

Police chief: Shell Lake community safe
Danielle Danford | Staff writer
SHELL LAKE - In response to increased
community alarm over an alleged assault
in the city of Shell Lake, David Wilson,
Shell Lake chief of police, reports that
there is no safety threat to residents.
The incident reportedly occurred on
Saturday, May 21, at approximately 4:45
a.m. involving a male resident. The incident was called in to 911, Washburn
County dispatch. Responding law enforcement included the Washburn County
Sheriff’s Office.
Wilson reports that a social media post
tographs of about eight people while they
were getting undressed in the bathroom,
or going into or coming out of the shower.
Lagarde told the investigator he had deleted the photos. He also admitted to taking some of the victims underwear but
said he had thrown it away.
At the sentencing hearing on May 26
Lagarde appeared in court represented
by attorney Mark Biller. The mother and
father of one victim were also present.
A presentencing investigation, done by
probation officers, recommended 30 days
in jail and five years of probation. Presentence investigations are ordered by the
judge in most serious felony cases. This
document provides the judge guidance on
sentencing, but the judge is not bound to
follow its recommendation.
Thomas Frost, Washburn County district attorney, and Biller addressed the
court before Judge Yackel made the sentencing determination. “The defendant has some significant issues that have been long term. He has hurt
many people, many young people, and he
recognizes that, but he hasn’t dealt with
it,” said Frost. If Lagarde should violate
probation, Frost said it was only right that
significant prison time would be hanging
over his head to ensure he gets the help
he needs. Frost added that as part of his
sentence there will be significant restitution as one victim remains in counseling
from the incident.
Lagarde’s defense attorney acknowledged the seriousness of the offenses
but stated he believed the PSI to be bal-
anced in its recommendation. Biller stated
the recommendation of 30 days jail time
makes sense in Lagarde’s case because
Lagarde has a clean record. Having never
experienced incarceration, 30 days would
be punishment enough for him. Biller also
stated that Lagarde was a victim of sexual
assault as a child, which negatively affected him in the long term.
“It does not look like counseling was
available to him back then and it caused
him the type of mental harm that led to
his mental difficulties with these sort of
issues,” said Biller. Lagarde then addressed to the court.
“It was a relief for me to have this come
out. I think my keeping this a secret for as
long as I did, both the crimes I committed
and the other sexual addictive behaviors
that I was struggling with, I was unable
to deal with them as effectively as I am
now since everything has come to light,”
said Lagarde.
“I realize what I did was wrong and
I can’t take back what I’ve done. Right
now my main focus is on treatment and
addiction recovery. I can’t even begin to
think how I could ever set things straight
or make amends for what I’ve done but
right now my biggest request is that I be
able to continue in treatment and be able
to support my family in work release,”
said Lagarde.
Before setting Lagarde’s sentence,
Yackel recessed the court for 10 minutes.
Tammy Fee, Washburn County victim/
witness coordinator, acknowledged that
this is unusual and demonstrated that
made by a family member of the man that
was injured has generated a great deal of
worry and concern throughout the community. However, a police investigation
into the incident has determined there is
no evidence to cause community concern.
“Despite rumors within the community
there is no credible evidence of an assault
occurring, and I again reiterate that at this
time I do not believe there is a credible
threat to the community of Shell Lake,”
said Wilson.
the judge wanted to review the case thoroughly before handing down a sentence.
Upon his return to court, Yackel said he
made the decision after review of the PSI
and victim statements. Yackel said the victims were angry with him but also stated
they didn’t want him to go away forever.
“I am going to dispense with any kind
of buildup,” said Yackel, “Mr. Lagarde,
you are not going to prison.” Yackel explained a term of probation is appropriate in Lagarde’s case, without prison time,
due to his lack of prior criminal record
and his stated remorse for his actions.
“I believe you when you say, or when
the PSI indicates, that you are glad that
it’s out in the open, that now you are getting some help for it and you want to get
that help,” said Yackel. While Yackel acknowledged that Lagarde could just be
saying those statements because he got
caught, Yackel said he is giving Lagarde
the benefit of the doubt. “This crime certainly calls out for punishment, not punishment some may wish
for you on this, like a prison sentence, but
the conditional jail time is balanced with
protection of the public and also a punishment factor,” said Yackel.
Yackel placed Lagarde on 10 years of
probation after considering the ages of the
victims at that time. Both will be 25 or 26
years old at the end of 10 years and Yackel
said they will be more able to handle the
fact that Lagarde is no longer under supervision. Even though the PSI recommended five years of probation Yackel
stated he was not confident that was a
long enough period. He explained the 10
years provides the public with a longer
period of supervision to ensure that Lagarde gets the help he needs. In that time
Lagarde will also have the threat of a serious prison sentence if he should violate
his probation.
Yackel stated the nature and severity
of the crimes he committed dictated the
need for greater punishment than the 30day jail term the PSI recommended.
“In reading the PSI I was a little taken
aback by the 30-day time frame on this,”
said Yackel. He stated that in most cases
when recommendations come in alternative to prison time the minimum is one
year.
Yackel ordered Lagarde to serve nine
months of conditional jail time. Yackel described this sentence as a balance between
the year maximum and the 30-day recommendation.
“I believe that is a sufficient amount,
and a minimum amount of time so that
the severity of these crimes are not unduly depreciated,” said Yackel. Lagarde
was also order to pay restitution and was
fined for statutory costs. Lagarde will be
allowed Huber, or work release, while
serving jail time. Lagarde was immediately taken into custody, escorted by two
Washburn County sheriff’s deputies to
the county jail. One victim’s mother stated she had
hoped for a year jail time, but was satisfied by the nine-month sentence. Shell Lake man, continued from page 1

Water Wise
Buffers are better
W
e are so lucky to live in northwestern Wisconsin where we are surrounded by lakes and
rivers. Not only do they provide wonderful fishing
and recreation opportunities for the whole family,
they are right in our backyard. Those fortunate to live
on a lake or river bear a significant responsibility for
helping protect our shorelines and their fragile ecosystems. It is important that landowners do all we can to
help maintain water quality for all lake users to enjoy.
And how can we help? By creating a shoreland buffer.
A buffer is a zone of native vegetation extending
from the lake landward. It includes a combination of
native trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses. The wider
the buffer the greater the protection for your shoreland property and the water. Ideally it should extend
30-35 feet above the ordinary high-water mark. Buffers filter out pollutants and runoff that degrade water
quality and are essential to the health of our lakes and
streams. The fertilizer we put on our grass makes for
a luscious-looking lawn. However, without a buffer,
the nitrogen and phosphorus in runoff feed the lake
weeds and increase algae blooms. Buffers also provide
habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. The plants that
grow at water’s edge and in the lake make excellent
spawning grounds for frogs and those fish we love to
catch. An added benefit of those plants at the water’s

edge is that they help absorb water in times of flooding and release water in times of drought.
Buffers don’t have to be a lot of work. A shoreline
will revert to its natural state just by doing nothing …
eventually. But you can give shorelands a little help
by planting a buffer using native trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses. Why native plants? They belong here.
Native plants have been growing and thriving in Wisconsin for hundreds of years. They are well adapted to
our climate and don’t require extra watering, fertilizer
or herbicides. Natives can better withstand competition from invasive nonnative plants. They have deeper
root systems that reduce shoreline erosion due to wave
action. Natives are also the best attractors of the birds,
butterflies and pollinators we want to attract and
enjoy. There are native plants suitable for all lake situations; they can be planted in the water, at the lake
edge, in wet soil and in drier upland soils. If we plant
them in the right places, native plants will thrive with
no additional help; and we simply get to enjoy the
beauty of the natural vegetation.
In addition to helping maintain our lake-water quality, a buffer is a deterrent to those pesky geese that

Shillelagh Lads will open the music season at the Potter’s Shed in Shell Lake on Friday, June
3. — Photos submitted
SHELL LAKE - The Potter’s Shed in
Shell Lake has announced their summer music schedule. Enjoy live music by
regional and national bands every Friday night from June to September and a
few extra nights added for good measure.
Opening the season on June 3 will be The
Shillelagh Lads, an Eau Claire-based band
that focuses on providing audience members with a dynamic, traditional Irish
show, all in a community-centered, publike arena. Voted Best Folk Performers of
2012 by Volume One magazine’s reader
poll, they may perhaps be the most enjoyable, fun and engaging show some will
see this year. A special concert will be held Wednesday, June 8, by Caravan of Thieves. Driving gypsy jazz rhythms, acoustic guitars,
upright bass and violin lay the founda-
tion for mesmerizing vocal harmonies
and fantastic stories. It’s theatrical and
humorous. It’s musical and intense. They
entertain, dazzle and defy classification
while welcoming the spectator to join
the band throughout the performance in
momentary fits of claps, snaps and singalongs. If Django Reinhardt, the cast of
“Stomp” and the Beatles all had a party at
Tim Burton’s house, Caravan of Thieves
would be the band they hired. Visit website PottersShed.com for more
information on the musicians and the entire summer schedule. The Shed is family
friendly so bring the kids, and chairs in
case they run out. Doors open at 6 p.m. Music starts at 7 p.m. Indoors if raining. Have a question? Call 800-850-8880,
ext. 31. — from the Potter’s Shed
SPOONER - Being able to experience
nature and cast that reel are some of the
most enjoyable moments available to
many in beautiful Wisconsin.
For many anglers with Alzheimer’s
disease or other related dementia, it can
become difficult to continue their fishing
routine without some assistance. Faith In
Action is stepping up to meet this community need by providing fishing buddies who will take a person with dementia
fishing when it’s best for them, morning
or afternoon. It can be easy to assume that
folks with this diagnosis are fine at home,
sitting there and not engaged, but when
someone with Alzheimer’s disease is
bored, they may not have the language to
say, “Hey, I need someone to help spend
my time.” It also offers a chance for family caregivers to get some time to themselves or take care of other errands.
If you or your loved one are interested
in connecting with a fishing buddy, please

or the dementia care specialist, Trisha at

BURNETT COUNTY - A Minnesota
State Patrol trooper was airlifted after her
vehicle overturned during a high-speed
chase Tuesday evening, May 24, and a
Pine County deputy mistakenly drove his
vehicle into what he thought was the vehicle being pursued. Following is a statement issued Thursday morning, May 26,
by the Burnett County Sheriff’s Department: On Tuesday, May 24, at 10:36 p.m.
the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office was
notified that Pine County, Minn., deputies were in pursuit of a silver Dodge Durango on Hwy. 48 in Pine County, Minn.,
which was expected to enter Wisconsin.
Burnett County deputies, St. Croix Tribal
Police, and Siren Police began responding
to the Danbury area to provide assistance,
if needed. The pursuit, involving multiple Pine County Sheriff’s Office units
and a Minnesota State Patrol trooper,
entered Burnett County eastbound on
North Markville Road in the Town of
Blaine, and then continued southbound
on Hwy. 35 toward Danbury at speeds
estimated to be near 100 miles per hour.
The suspect vehicle was able to avoid the
first set of stop sticks placed by a Burnett
County deputy. Another Burnett County
deputy was able to deploy stop sticks
successfully near Lake 26 Road; the fleeing vehicle then continued southbound
into Danbury before crashing into trees,
sustaining severe damage. Two occupants were apprehended at the scene of
the crash and later released. The driver of
the suspect vehicle, Jordan Smith, 22, On-

a short time later after he was found hiding in an abandoned building near Pine
Street and 4th Avenue in Danbury. Smith
was taken to the Burnett County Jail, and
later transported to a hospital for evaluation of a medical condition. During the
pursuit, a Minnesota State Patrol trooper
that was assisting Pine County deputies
in their pursuit lost control of her squad
car while negotiating a curve on North
Markville Road in the Town of Blaine and
overturned. The operator of the state patrol unit, Trooper Bridget Allison Heaton,
was transported from the scene by North
Memorial Ambulance to a Duluth hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries; her
condition is not known at this time. Heaton’s squad car sustained major damage.
Investigation of this crash continues by
the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office. Also
during the course of these events, the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office was notified
that a Pine County deputy had struck an
uninvolved citizen’s vehicle on Hwy. 35
near Minerva Road. Investigation by the
Burnett County Sheriff’s Office indicates
that Pine County Deputy Carl Joseph
Hawkinson stated that had lost sight of
the pursuit, but saw a vehicle that was
stopped along Hwy. 35 in Danbury that
he believed looked similar to the suspect’s
vehicle. Hawkinson told Burnett County
deputies that he then drove his squad
car into the drivers’ side of a 2002 GMC
Envoy, driven by Jonathon Bearheart, 24,
Amery, in an attempt to prevent Bearheart
and his passenger, Nathaniel Reynolds,
26, Webster, from exiting their vehicle.
Hawkinson told Burnett County deputies that after striking Bearheart’s vehicle
and exiting his squad car, he realized that
it was not the vehicle suspected to have
been involved in the pursuit. Bearheart
and Reynolds were not injured; Bearheart’s vehicle and the Pine County squad
car sustained minor damage. — from

ocks, the garment we wear on our feet to keep
S
us warm, come in a variety of colors and patterns. They are usually knit from wool, cotton or
nylon. Some socks are even made from silk. Socks
also come in a variety of styles: anklets, crew, low
cut, knee high, thigh high and no-show. Socks are
sold in pairs, but they don’t always stay in pairs.
Why is it that we usually end up with a drawer containing several mismatched socks? Where does their
mate go? I thought I might have found an answer
when I was helping to move my son and his wife
from one apartment to another. I found a stray sock
under the water heater and a different sock behind
the dryer. Then again, I never did find the mate to
either.
About the time I give up on finding a missing mate
to a pair of socks and toss the bundle of mateless foot
coverings away, others mysteriously appear. I have
tried using just one color and style of socks, but this
doesn’t always work either in keeping pairs. And
why is it, one sock out of the pair will wear out faster
than the other?
As my 6-year-old granddaughter, Adalyn, was
rushing to prepare to leave for school one morning
when I was visiting, I saw my daughter toss two
socks to her and say, “Here, just put these on.” To my
shock, the socks didn’t match. One was pink with
a Disney character and the other was yellow with
a different Disney princess. “Wait a minute! Hold
the phone! She can’t go to school with mismatched
Socks

socks!” is what the voice in my head was screaming.
Daughter Amanda must have seen the expression
on my face because she quickly said. “It’s OK. A lot
of kids wear mismatched socks.” It was true. I have
since observed several different-colored sock-clad
feet walking across a floor when children are playing
together.
My friend, Val, attached a link from a site called
UpShout to my Facebook page about how people
who wear mismatched socks are smarter and more
successful than the more traditional matching-sock
wearer. This is what the article said: “You might not
be aware of this, but crazy sock wearers are leading
a subtle revolution against uniformity and rules.
What’s more, they are winning. Crazy-sock wearers
refuse to be dictated by social standards, and other
people, who aren’t equipped with the same audacity
to wear robot-patterned socks. Scientists report that
wearing a wacky pair of socks helps us feel braver
and more unpredictable, leading us to uncharted waters and, in turn, greater success in life.”
Well, I’m no scientist so I guess I’d better not comment. I do know that I never did care for socks that
had individual spaces for each toe. My toes didn’t
conform to toe socks. They prefer to stay as a group.
I remember as middle school students, my neighborhood friend Ruthie and I would wear knee-high
socks with our cutoff shorts and skirts. Ruthie’s
mom, Gladys, once commented, “I don’t understand
you girls. Why are you wearing such high socks?”
She, of course, was dressed in pedal pushers and anklets. What our parents didn’t know was that when
we were wearing skirts, we would roll them up at
the top, making the hemline come above our knees.
If the skirt was loose enough, we could get a couple
of good rolls in. Therefore, we did have skin on our
legs that showed from the top of our knee-high socks
to the bottom of our skirts.
Even though we have several choices for socks,
with warmer weather, many tuck away their socks
for the season and enjoy going barefoot while wearing open-toed sandals or flip-flops. The question is,
will the socks stay as pairs or will it be a scramble for
us in the fall to find a matching pair when returning
to sock-and-shoe wearing. Well, I guess if we want
to be trendy, it won’t really matter if our socks match
or not.

radio, movies and television. Burns and Allen went
with them. George Burns was called many things, but
he was always a gem, offering his wit, decency and
gentle humor to make the folks laugh. Gracie was an
original, a dark-haired Irish “dumb blonde,” who endeared herself to everyone; she was unforgettable.
George Burns was born Nathan Birnbaum in New
York City, Jan. 20, 1896. His parents, Lewis and Dorah
Birnbaum, were Romanian Jews who came to America
as immigrants. Nathan, who later took the stage name
George Burns, was the ninth of 12 kids. His father died
at the age of 47. George had to work to help the family. He sold papers, and when he was only 7 he was
working as a syrup maker in a candy shop with three
other boys. The local mailman loved singing. While
they had their lunch break, he took the boys down
to the cellar and taught them to sing harmony. While
they sang, a group of people gathered outside to listen.
An audience. George was hooked on show biz. They
became the Pee-Wee Quartet, and began to sing on the
street corner, on a ferry boat or a saloon. People threw
coins in their hat. From there, George went on the
vaudeville stage. He was not a star, but he persisted.
He was a good dancer, and taught dancing lessons.
He developed many acts, and substituted for others,
including a dog act, in which he danced and sang and
held the dog. He did an act with a seal, and threw the
seal a fish, and sang and danced. He did an act with
another dancer, a girl named Hannah, whose parents
wouldn’t let her go on the road on the vaudeville circuit unless she married her partner. George and Hannah married. The marriage lasted 26 weeks, and they
divorced. He liked going out with girls. George was
looking for another partner when he met this Irish girl
in Union City, N.J. Gracie, his love.
He called her Googie, and she called him Natty.
Grace Ethyl Allen was born July 26, 1906. She was
from a show business family from San Francisco, part
of The Four Colleens. George talked her into becoming
the other half of the act. After a few performances he
knew she was a classic performer, and he had to be the
straight man while she did the comedy. George always
attributed their success to her gift for comedy.
He immediately fell in love with Gracie. She was engaged to a dancer, Benny Ryan, who was on the road.
George was afraid to tell her he was in love with her
T
he boat inspections have started again down
at the Shell Lake boat landing. Since we began
part-time inspections, the inspectors checked a total of 350
boats. No harmful vegetation
was found during the inspections. Fishing opener was the
busiest day we have had. That
day had 55 boats.
Due to some of our workers
still having school during the
week, the inspectors can only
Mary B. Olsen
and wanted her, more than anything, to be his wife.
He knew she was the reason for their success, so he
didn’t want to mess up a good thing. If she got mad
and left, he was back throwing fish to a seal. For three
years they did their act and prospered. Gracie was
aware of George but believed she would marry the
dancer. Then, one night, at a Christmas party, George
made her cry. She said, “You’re the only boy who ever
made me cry. And I decided that if you could make
me cry, I must really love you.” This made sense to
her, and he got up the nerve to ask her to be his wife.
She was Catholic and he was not, but it didn’t seem
to matter. They married in Cleveland in 1926. They remained close to family ties.
They stayed in vaudeville but it was dying, and they
made the jump to radio. Burns and Allen debuted
on radio on Feb. 15, 1932. They started out like their
vaudeville act, with George playing straight, and Gracie, dumb but smart and cute.
In their act, George would ask Gracie, “How is your
brother?” And Gracie would say some outrageous
things that generated laughter. One time she said her
brother was missing. This began a series of continuing jokes about places where her brother had turned
up but had vanished again. It led to brief appearances
of George or Gracie on other radio shows where they
were trying to find her brother. It spread across the
country and they became famous for the lost brother.
Her real brother in California was actually tracked
down and never missing. Jigsaw puzzles were created
with a missing piece that looked like Gracie’s brother.
On the radio they became a married couple. It was
a half-hour show with comedy sketches and continuing characters, and a bandleader, beginning with Guy
Lombardo, and later, they had Ray Noble, and Artie
Shaw. Burns and Allen also did movies and performed
in clubs and on the stage. Gracie was a good actress.
She made 13 films. George was in most of them.
Their television show was situation comedy. George
stood outside the screen and commented on the action. And entered it. In the cast were Mel Blanc, Bea
be at the landing part time during the week. We try
to be there at the busiest times of the day so that we
don’t miss any boats. If you do happen to come down
and we aren’t there, please take the necessary steps to
make sure that your boat is clean and free of invasive
species.
The annual and daily permits sales have been very
good. We sold 138 annual permits for a total of $2,760
and we sold 87 daily permits for a total of $435 for a
grand total of $3,195 made since fishing opener.

Gracie had problems with her heart all her life. She
would get migraine headaches, and would have to rest
in bed until they went away. They didn’t have children, so they decided to adopt a child. They adopted
Sandra Jean in 1934 and in 1935, Gracie fell for a baby
boy who was very thin and in poor condition at the orphanage and they adopted him, Ronald Jon. They had
a house built in Beverly Hills and became prosperous,
and even had a swimming pool. George didn’t swim
but walked around the pool for exercise and Gracie
and the kids swam.
Their television show was on from 1950 until 1958,
when Gracie retired. George continued it the next year,
but Gracie was weak and her condition got worse.
George rushed her to the hospital and she passed
away in 1964. George had to go on without her. He
went ahead with his career, but his heart was with
Gracie. He visited her at Forest Lawn Cemetery at
least once every month, and he told her how things
were going for him without her. Maybe she didn’t
hear him, but he could talk to her and that made him
feel better.
In 1974, George Burns took the role that had been
offered to his lifetime friend, Jack Benny. He played an
old-time performer, Al Lewis, in “The Sunshine Boys.”
George won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He
went on to star in “Oh, God!” with John Denver. It was
written by Larry Gelbart and Carl Reiner. “I thought
I would be a flop. I asked, “How can I do it?” There
was no answer, so he did it. He did two more films
where he played God. Some people complained, but
he thought nobody really saw God, so why couldn’t
he look like him?
George wrote nine books, including his last, “100
Years, 100 Stories.” He said the funniest comedian ever
was Charlie Chaplin, the biggest talent was Sammy
Davis Jr., the greatest entertainer ever was Al Jolson.
He said, “When Gracie retired, I went into show business. I was retired the whole time I worked with her.
When I worked with Gracie I didn’t have to do anything.” Actually, he was the writer, and the comedian
and performer. Makes you wonder, how did a man
who smoked cigars, drank martinis and chased young
women live to be 100? He gave people a warm smile,
a song and a good feeling. He took his last bow and
went to be with Gracie.

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. I’m sure there was a lot of camping and picnicking
going on. Oh, and getting ready for graduation parties,
of course. We have three high school graduations in our
family this year. Our granddaughter, Madysen Marsh,
is graduating from Rice Lake High; our nephew, Trystin Adams is graduating from Cumberland; and our
niece, Sydney Copus, is graduating from Oregon. Do
you remember how exciting it was to be that age and
dream about all the things you would be able to do?
Amber Anderson, Forrest and Angie’s daughter,
graduated from Shell Lake High School this year.
Amber will be attending UW-Barron County in Rice
Lake to double major in social sciences and agriculture
and minor in education. Amber is a member of the girls
track team in Shell Lake and finished this year on a
very high note. At the sectional meet in Colfax, where
Amber was the first runner, the Shell Lake team won
for the first time ever. They took first place in the 4 by 1
and the 4 by 2 and took third in the 4 by 4. There were
32 teams at the competition. The girls will be traveling to La Crosse this weekend to the state competition.
Good luck girls. And, best of luck, Amber, at the UW
and everything you plan for the future.
The Copus family, friends and relatives were at their
camp site on Sand Creek by the Hilltop for the weekend. Jim is up quite a few times during the summer,
but the kids and grandkids only come up a couple or
three times. When they are all here the place looks like
a small city. They have a lot of fun four-wheeling, fishing and playing beanbag games.
Jim Copus and I had to pick out flowers to decorate
our family graves all by ourselves this year because Pat
Olson decided to go visit Jay and his family for a week
or so. I told Jim we should pick out really ugly plants so
that she would be afraid to leave next year. We didn’t;
we found very pretty plants and they look very nice at
the cemeteries.
The fundraiser for little Oscar Jiskra, which was
hosted by Jeno and Sharon Herman and held at Bistro 63 last Tuesday, was a huge success. Oscar, son of
Benny and Rose Jiskra, was born with a heart defect
and had to have multiple surgeries before he was able
to come home. He was at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis for a month and is finally able to be at home
with his family. The fundraiser included an all-youcan-eat spaghetti supper, a raffle and a silent auction.
Please keep Oscar in your prayers for a full recovery
and healthy life.
Tru Lehmann visited with us on Wednesday and decided she would like to have a lemonade stand. So we
sent Grandpa Duane to Speedy’s for a bag of ice, Tru
made a sign and mixed up a pitcher of pink lemonade. We carried her little table and chair out, put up
the sign, and she was in business. Her first customer
was Jody Pease, who was coming back from a run and
was thirsty. Then Grandpa Duane stopped by on his
lawn mower. Her next customers were John Schmidt
and his twin sister, Jane. Then a couple who we didn’t
know stopped by on their way to the Red Brick. With
that order, Tru used the last of the lemonade, and as
I was going into the house to make more when two
Steve Madison gravel trucks stopped. Steve and Austin waited for me to bring out the new pitcher of lemonade, and then stayed to talk while they drank their
lemonade. Tru was absolutely thrilled with her day in
business, and couldn’t wait to tell her mom about it.
Before she left, Tru picked a big bouquet of tulips for
Dump no more
Earth
Notes
I
have found a few crazy things you can recycle
lately and I wanted to pass them all along to you.
The Earth needs help and if it isn’t from you then
whom? Although we try to recycle, so much stuff still
ends up at the landfill. What more can one person do?
Recycling is not just putting milk jugs, cereal boxes
and pasta sauce jars in the recycle bin by the curb or
dropping them in the recycling drop-box. You’d be
surprised at what you can recycle if you’re willing to
go the extra mile, which I know you are.
Pantyhose and tights
Can you believe you can actually recycle your battered hosiery? Well apparently you can through the
No Nonsense brand. When you landfill a ruined pair
of pantyhose, it will take 30-40 years to decompose.
Pantyhose is made predominantly from nylon, which
is the first invented synthetic fiber ever created that is
a nonbiodegradable material. Those tights you wore
only once before they sprouted a gigantic run are converted to construction materials. Your holey hose is
reborn as a running track, park bench or playground
equipment, vehicle insulation, playground equipment
and toys. It’s simple. First download a mailing label.
Now go round up your tights, pantyhose, nylon knee
highs and box them up. They accept all brands. Take
your box to the nearest shipping location and send it
Jen Barton
on its way. They collect all the products in their North
Carolina plants and send it all to a recycling facility.
Since stockings and hosiery are so lightweight, shipping a package of pantyhose will be inexpensive, and
you will feel good, knowing that you are doing your
part to offset your carbon footprint. The impact may
seem small at first, but every pair that you help to recycle is one less pair that’s left to decompose in a stagnant landfill. Are you ready to get started? If so then
go to this site to print your shipping label: nononsense.
com/pantyhose-recycling.htm. I think this is such a
cool program and again the shipping cost is small as
they weigh very little.
Fur and hair
Fur and hair, really? This one rates pretty high on
the grossness scale. However, the not-for-profit charity
Matter of Trust collects human and animal hair. What
her mom, Alyse. Well, before Alyse took her home, Tru
had to go to a dental appointment. She liked her dentist
so much that she asked Alyse if it was OK if she gave
him the tulips. Alyse called to tell me about it and said
that the dentist was very surprised and happy with the
bouquet.
Deb Lehmann has finally recovered from whatever
it was that was ailing her and is back to work at the
Red Brick. She came back on Thursday last week. Even
though Sharai and Lonnie did a great job filling in, we
are all glad to see her feeling better and back at work.
Sharai Hefty and Gary Rahn have been busy this
spring getting things cleaned up around their place.
They have torn the old Rahn house down and are now
able to see out to the road from their new home. They
still have come hauling away to do, but it’s a good start
anyway. There is always so much to do in the spring.
I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this
week. Hope you had a lovely weekend. See you next
time.
The Register is a
cooperative-owned
newspaper
do they do with it exactly? Through its Access Excess
program, Matter of Trust donates clean hair to soak up
oil spills. You heard that right. Let’s think about this
for a minute; you shampoo because hair collects oil.
The group makes large oil-catching sponges from hair,
fur and fleece to clear up contaminated water supplies.
Contributions come from salons, pet groomers and
individuals. This fiber gets stuffed into tubes (booms)
made from donated recycled nylons which are knotted together forming chains used to surround and
contain a spill. Or they are stacked to protect private
beaches. Time to start saving Fluffy’s hair after every
good brushing. To get involved in this project type in
this link: matteroftrust.org/297/clean-wave-program.
Packaging of various types
Terracycle, a New Jersey company, partners with
many manufacturers to recycle packaging. Collect participating products and ship them off. Groups like Colgate, Capri Sun, Clif Bar, Entemann’s, Brita and Glad,
to name a few, are involved in this program.
This subject is so exciting to me I will be highlighting other hard-to-recycle items in coming Earth Notes
columns. Trust me, there are a lot more and I want
you to know about them. Questions about recycling or
hazardous waste disposal can be answered by contacting Jen at [email protected], or 715-635-2197.

nothing can ever replace the hole left behind by a fallen service member,
and no numbers of medals and ribbons can comfort the ones left behind.”

Third Sunday After Pentecost
M
usic has been called “the universal language.”
Wherever there are people there is music. It
seems to come from the very nature of man. Every
tribe on every continent has had musicians that make
their own type of music. It is different from place
to place, from being as irritating as fingernails on a
chalkboard to sounding like the “voices of angels.”
The first recognized musician was Jubal who is
mentioned in Genesis 4:21. He was the father of all who played the harp
and flute. And music was very important to Moses and the children of
Israel. One of their earliest songs is introduced in Exodus 15:1, “I will
sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted.”
Music has always played an important role in the history of Christianity. In fact, before the followers of Christ met to worship God the choirs
of heaven sang on the night that Christ was born. And Jesus himself led
his followers in singing a hymn of praise before going to Gethsemane!
Pliny was commissioned by a Roman emperor to investigate the belief
and behavior of Christians. He reported, “They have a custom of meeting before dawn on an appointed day, and singing hymns to Christ.”
Although music is everywhere, why is the music of God’s children
different? David said, “I will sing and make music!” immediately after
he found a new steadfastness, or confidence, in God’s grace. That’s why.
When hearts are at peace with God, people sing.

Our neighborhood is so saddened of the death of Jim
Frey who passed away Wednesday, May 25, at Regions in
the Twin Cities. He was taken there on May 9 after suffering an aneurysm and had been in a deep coma. He was
such a nice “kid” and will be so dearly missed by many.
Our heartfelt sympathy to the family at this sad time.
We got some badly needed rain on Wednesday. It sure
came down hard for a while. Kind of hard on the newly
planted fields. The corn is sure growing. The rows of little
corn plants look neat. Soybeans are all in around here
and some haying is started.
June is here! Dairy breakfasts are starting. Barron
County’s will be held on Saturday, June 4, 6 to 11 a.m. at
Hungry Hollow show grounds, 1509 19th St., Rice Lake,
with tours at Norswiss Farm nearby. Try to attend, it’s
always fun and so good.
Folks are reporting seeing baby fawns. I saw a little
feller on the way to Shell Lake. It was raining and I had
to wait for mama and baby to cross the road. Poor thing,
so little, looked like a drowned rat. I felt so sorry for it.
The tree frogs have been calling wildly. I had three big
turkeys by the back deck and they headed for the newly
planted sweet corn patch the other morning.
Charlotte and Alan Ross spent the weekend in Madison when their granddaughter, Lindsey, Appleton,
graduated from the University of Wisconsin. She is the
daughter of their son, John, and Bobette Ross, Appleton.
Congratulations to her.
Over Memorial Day weekend, Alan and Charlotte
Ross’ daughter, Patty, and husband Paul and his father,
Maynard, were guests here. They are from Beloit.
Last Monday, Deb and Elfreda West visited Evie Campbell in Spooner. Linda King joined them there. So had a
great time reminiscing.
Elfreda West’s girls, Ellen and Janet, planted their garden at her place again.
I had coffee with Mavis Schlapper on Thursday. She
was expecting son Dean and his wife, from Texas, to arrive late that evening. They were coming to attend Wayne
Schlapper’s daughter Ashley’s wedding in Stevens Point
on Saturday evening.
Mavis’ daughter, Pam Cernocky, Elk Mound, was up
and got a straw garden started for her. Something new in
gardening. I’ll be interested to see how it turns out.
Joyce Wade and Mavis went to Rice Lake on Thursday
morning. Joyce had just gotten back from a two-week
stay in Washington state with her kids. She has six children that live there.
I received an update on Gene Anderson. He was
moved. His new address is c/o Essentia Health, St.
Mary’s Hospital, Swing Bed Unit, 3500 Tower Ave., Superior, WI 54880. He recently had a pacemaker put in.
He’s enjoying his cards from folks.
Glad to hear Elaine Krugar is better and back at her
home at Terraceview Living Center in Shell Lake after
spending some time in the hospital in Duluth with heart
issues. Put her in your prayers.
Visiting at my house this week were grandson Duane
of Menomonie as he was working in the area and he
stayed over with me on Monday night; grandson Corey
visited Tuesday evening; Wednesday evening after my
cardiac rehab, I, Bonnie Helmer and Jim Bird met my
brother, Don, for a delicious supper at St. Alban’s Church
in Spooner.
Charlene Gilbertson and Corey Furchtenicht attended
graduation at Clayton last Saturday afternoon for son
Brandon. They held an open house for him on Sunday
at the Turtle Creek Glen reception hall in Clayton with
around 100 attending.
Birthday wishes this week to Lois Kemp, Jody Roeser,

My name is Annie; I’m
ready to go,
Here’s a few things about me
you should know.
I’m spayed and declawed;
I’m about 4 years old,
My fur’s black and brown
and my eyes, they are gold.
I like things more quiet, I’m
happy that way,
And sometimes I like to do
just as I may.
I am very friendly to those who are kind,
If you have other pets, if they’re nice, I don’t mind.
Since I don’t have front claws, I do not go outside,
I believe I’d be scared, I would just run and hide.
I’m a quiet house cat, who wants someone like me,
With us somewhat alike, we are sure to agree!

ICCPA presents scholarships to 8 area graduates
Publisher of Register, Leader
and Advertisers, presents
total of $6,000 to area
graduates
FREDERIC – For the 17th consecutive year, the
Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association, which produces the Inter-County Leader and
Washburn County Register newspapers and the
Advertisers, has presented scholarships to graduates at schools in the area.
This year, the cooperative presented $6,000
in scholarships to eight area schools – Frederic,
Grantsburg, Siren, Webster, Luck, Shell Lake, St.
Croix Falls and Unity.
ICCPA publishes the only cooperative-owned
weekly newspapers in the nation, the Leader established in 1933 by area farmers who sought a
voice.
The cooperative has presented at least one scholarship to area graduates since 1989. In 1998, the
cooperative began giving its $300 scholarship to
a graduate at each of the seven public schools in
Burnett and Polk counties, and the cooperative’s
board of directors voted that same year to raise the
amount to $750, beginning with the 1999 scholarships.
In 2005 Shell Lake became the eighth area public
school to receive the cooperative’s yearly award.
Recipients of the scholarships are chosen based
on academic excellence, an interest in journalism
or photography and on recommendation by scholarship committees.
