Weather helped create mild wildfire season
BURNETT/POLK/WASHBURN COUNTIES - The cold, snow and rain this spring has created problems for many farmers and impatience among those of us longing for warm, sunny days, but it’s helped keep down the number of wildfires usually occurring this time of year. “It’s (weather) been a blessing in that respect,” noted DNR Fire Warden Renae Paulson at Webster. “The fire season has been very mild, thankfully.” Paulson said the Cumberland area, which includes Burnett, Washburn and parts of Barron and Polk counties, has seen about 20 fires so far this spring. “Normally, we’d have two or three times that many at this point in the season,” she said. “I don’t think any of them have been larger than 10 acres.” The serious portion of the wildfire season here usually winds down in May, when things begin to green up. Persons are asked to check the DNR’s Web site for daily reports on burning permit requirements. A link to the site can be found at the Leader’s Web site at www.theleader.net. - Gary King

The snowfall of 1.4 inches on Thursday, April 28, was a little more than a nuisance for the area farmers working their ground for the spring planting. The weather forecast does not give much relief for the below-normal temperatures and wet conditions. With flurries the first few days of May, the area has seen snow for the past eight months. — Photo by Larry Samson
Congressional members react to bin Laden killing
DWI simulator See page 2
by Maureen McCollum and Mike Simonson, Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - U.S. Congressman Ron Kind says he predicts very little change in the course of combat in the Middle East, despite the death of Osama bin Laden. The La Crosse Democrat says his death sends a signal to other al-Qaida members that they will also be brought to justice. Kind says in a way, it’s better that the U.S. acted alone in the operation, without the help of Pakistan. “It would have been difficult, I think, for Pakistani military to cooperate on a mission within their own border, for fear of
their own reprisals in their country,” says Kind. “But they are a crucial ally. They haven’t been the most dependable ally in this fight against al-Qaida and terrorists in the region. We need to continue to work on that relationship.” Kind says the world is a better place without bin Laden and thanks the forces involved in “bringing him to justice.” Meanwhile, Republican Congressman Sean Duffy of Ashland says getting bin Laden is “a great day for America.” “It underscores the point that you attack us, you come after us, we might not get you right away but we will not relent,” says Duffy. “We will look at every corner of the Earth and we will find you.”
Watch for cycles
SPORTS Pages 12 & 13 Members of the local Chapter 7A of ABATE were getting out the word that motorcycles share the road and to be aware of them. The death toll in motorcycle accidents increased from 84 in 2009 to 104 in 2010, which is attributed to the price of gas and the increased use of motorcycles. With the current price of gas we can expect even more motorcycles on the road this coming year. — Photo by Larry Samson
Just arriving back from a two-day tour of Afghanistan that ended Saturday, Duffy says Pakistan has to step up if the war in Afghanistan is to be won. “It’s telling that Americans went in by themselves and didn't include the Pakistanis in their mission,” says Duffy. “I don't know that they're an honest partner of ours.” Duffy adds that he’s heard many people say that that if the Pakistanis don't engage with the U.S. to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan, it will be hard to be successful there.

SLEF celebrates Earth Day with students
SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake Education Foundation, by popular demand, celebrated Earth Day at the 3-12 school in Shell Lake with its second-annual bake sale last week. So successful was the first bake sale last year, an emergency second Earth Day had to be declared because they ran out of treats for the third- to sixthgrade students. This year, being better prepared, they extended Earth Day yet another day so each of the three lunch periods got an equal shot at the goodies. The proverbial favorites, dirt and sand cups complete with worms, were once again extremely popular. New offerings this year of chocolate-dipped pretzels and earth cookies (they really looked like earth) along with old stalwarts from last year, earth balls and cupcakes, made the kids think a little bit before they spent those quarters. SLEF is happy to offer a little something special for the students, at the same time raising some money that will be returned to their education, and helping bring awareness to the importance of protecting the environment in
which we live. Gratitude is extended to the fourth grade and their teachers, Mr. Kevan, Ms. Behling and Ms. Sauve. As part of their Earth Day education they cleaned up the school’s playground. This year a considerable amount of money was found on the playground and they donated it to the Earth Day bake sale. SLEF also extends gratitude to the administration for approving the threeday sale, the kitchen staff for allowing them to use their cooler space and the traffic in and out, the janitors for helping with cleanup and the teachers for having to deal with any circumstances a student with elevated sugar levels may cause. SLEF is committed to being a positive part of students’ lives. They are dedicated to supporting excellence in education by helping to fund educational tools and programs for the Shell Lake School District. Please pick up one of their brochures around town, click on the SLEF District Web site link, or find them on Facebook to learn more about them. — from SLEF

State tries to sanction tribal mixed martial arts events
MAY 4, 2011 - WASHBURN COUNTY REGISTER - PAGE 3
by Mike Simonson Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - An effort by Wisconsin to force tribal casinos to follow new regulations to sanction mixed martial arts events came close to forcing legal action against the state. Tribes objected to what they saw was interference with their sovereignty. The northern Wisconsin Lac du Flambeau band of Lake Superior Chippewa has held a dozen mixed martial arts fighting contests at its Lake of the
Torches Casino over the past four years. The casino’s marketing director, Michael Broderick, says the combative combination of boxing, wrestling, judo and kickboxing is a big draw for them. But they follow strict rules to sanction all fights through a national group called King of the Cage. “It’s not a fly-by-night operation,” says Broderick. “The concerns the secretary brought to the tribes are also our concerns too.” Wisconsin Department of Licensing
and Regulation Secretary Dave Ross has held talks with the 11 state tribes to mend this fence. He says the state did not intend to step on tribal rights. “The tribes already have had an extensive amount of rules that they’ve written themselves and most of these either mirror state … or exceed state law.” Broderick says the issue isn’t so much the state’s new mixed martial arts rules as it is tribal independence. “I think it’s coming together, but once again it has to be an understanding that
the tribes have their inherent rights through tribal sovereignty to conduct economic activities on the reservation and to regulate their activities. And I think there were some misunderstandings by the state of Wisconsin.” The Oneida and Potawatomi bands have signed agreements with the state to share medical information of fighters. Lac du Flambeau says it will also share medical records but continue holding fighting contests.
by Brian Bull Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - More people need help with their heating and electric bills than at this time last year. Susan Brown is with the state Division of Energy Services, which administers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program for Wisconsin. She says the state’s official emergency winter period ended on April 15, meaning utility companies could begin disconnecting customers well behind on making payments. Many people have since sought LIHEAP funds to keep the lights on. “Between April 15 and today, there
have been 9,000 households that have sought basic assistance with their heat and electric costs, and in the neighborhood of 3,000 households seeking some type of crisis assistance,” says Brown. “And on average, we’ve experienced about a 6-percent increase overall in caseload compared to the same time last year.” Brown says while the struggling economy may be behind the increase, greater awareness of the federal program could be a factor as well. Wisconsin’s LIHEAP appropriation is $130 million. Recipients must meet set criteria to prove they’re unable to cover their home energy costs.

BARRON — Barron Electric Cooperative is warning residents about a possible energy-saving scam that has led to deception and the Better Business Bureaus in two states chasing an energy products company. This begins with a postcard inviting people to a free dinner and the potential to dramatically reduce monthly utility bills. When things sound too good to be true, they probably are. The Electric Co-op Today, which is published by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, wrote an article about the scheme. According to the article, the company is selling energysaving devices with claims of lowering energy bills. The company allegedly told members of a Florida electric cooperative the products would be eligible for fed-
eral tax refunds and utility rebates, which was not the case. Florida isn’t the only state. Complaints have also been filed in Montana. It is believed that the company behind the alleged activity is Light Power Solutions. Buyers have found the products do not live up to the company’s claims. The company has been hosting these dinners and presentations in the local area. Proper insulation levels and sealing air leaks in your home are two of the most important things to consider when improving the performance of your home. Barron Electric offers rebate programs, energy audits, home performance assessments, meter monitor and information that can help you make good choices that will make a difference in your energy bills. — from Barron Electric
The committee is reaching out to nine local counties. There are 61 Vietnam veterans from Washburn County. The committee is requesting all local VFWs, American Legions and all veterans organizations bring post flags. The Patriot Guard will be present for both opening and closing ceremonies. Counselors will be present for veterans while viewing the wall. The local National Guard, state police and Washburn County Sheriff’s De-
partment will be present to assist with transportation and possible protestors. Monetary donations and additional volunteers are needed to assist with financial cost and the safeguarding of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall. The closing ceremony will be at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 31. Vietnam veterans only will have a private viewing after the closing ceremony.
RICE LAKE — The public is invited to attend a biennial budget dialogue session featuring state Sen. Robert Jauch and state Assemblyman Roger Rivard on Friday, May 6, at 6 p.m. in the gymnasium at the University of Wisconsin-Barron County in Rice Lake. Audience members are encouraged to participate in the exchange by voicing their comments and questions about the state budget proposal. According to event moderator Dr. Eric Kasper, UW-BC assistant professor of political science, there are two main goals for this event: to allow citizens to ask
questions of, and communicate their thoughts with, their elected state representatives; and to allow these public officials to explain their positions about the state budget and see where they might be able to find common ground with each other and their constituents. UW-Barron County strives to ensure that the area’s elected officials have a venue to speak with, and hear from, members of the public. For more information on this public affairs event please contact Kasper at 715-234-8176, Ext. 5472 or eric.kasper@uwc.edu. — from UW-BC
MERRILL — The 7th Congressional District Democrats held their annual convention in Merrill on Saturday, April 30, and took up a collection to assist victims of the recent tornadoes. In all, they collected $650 and nearly 20 grocery bags full of personal-care items such as soap and shampoo. Everything was donated to St. Vincent de Paul in Merrill. The Democratic Party believes that each of us has an obligation to each other, to our neighbors, and our communities (see the party’s Web site at www.democrats.org/issues). “I remember when a tornado destroyed the town of Siren in Northwest Wisconsin, near where I live, and how important having
everyone pitch in was to rebuilding. Our Democratic Party members just wanted to be a small part of the effort to help our neighbors in Merrill get back on their feet,” said Jan Kelton, chair of the 7th District Democrats. Lincoln County Democratic Chair Melissa Schroeder, a resident of Merrill, added, “So many party members across central and northern Wisconsin contacted me and asked how they could help. I’m thrilled that so many have been willing to donate because I know personally that it will help so many in our community.” — from 7th District Democrats
SPOONER — The 15th-annual pet walk for the Washburn County Area Humane Society will be held on Saturday morning, May 21, at the College Street Park in Spooner. This is one of the major fundraisers to benefit the hundreds of animals that pass through the local animal shelter each year. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by demonstrations, exhibits, photos by Northern Lights Camera Club and pet
costume contest. New this year is a pet talent contest. Share your pet’s special talent or cute trick. The walk will begin at 11 a.m., followed by the awarding of many prizes donated by area merchants, plus a free picnic lunch. More information is available on the events page of WCAHS Web site www.wcahs.com or by calling the shelter at 715-635-4720. — from WCAHS

Get a grip
During his election night victory speech, Congressman Sean Duffy told the assembled crowd that the great task of his generation was to stop the “creeping socialism” that he feels is threatening America. What was Duffy talking about? The only thing I could think of that made any sense is that Duffy must be afraid of the citizens of North Dakota. Why? Because North Dakota has the only state-owned bank in the United States. A state-owned bank is socialism. What kind of horrible oppression do the North Dakotans live under from their form of
socialism? North Dakota currently enjoys a budget surplus and the lowest unemployment rate in the nation. The Bank of North Dakota didn’t get involved in making the kinds of wildly speculative subprime loans that toppled Wall Street brokerage firms, and that prompted Congress to bail out large commercial banks. And when large banks won’t lend money to small businesses and family farmers, the Bank of North Dakota does, keeping North Dakotans money at home instead of sending it to Wall Street. That
does sound downright un-American! What can be done about this imminent threat to American capitalism? Maybe we should invade North Dakota? We could probably catch them completely off guard. Or maybe Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana should erect large border fences to stem the tide of socialist immigration to other states? Better yet, maybe Sean Duffy should get a grip on himself and quit spouting hysterical nonsense?
On behalf of the Republican Party of Washburn County, I want to extend gratitude to the members of the Washburn County Recount Canvass Board for their professionalism and tireless efforts put into the recount of the Prosser/Kloppenburg election. Agnes Anderson, Della Stariha and Rosie Hauk,
along with their team of six tabulators, have worked with both the Republicans and Democrats to ensure this recount is accurate. Even though the recount is not complete as of this writing, I am certain the results will show little variance from the original figures submitted by our great
Board of Election officials in Washburn County and the county clerk Lynn Hoeppner’s office. Again, appreciation is extended to Anderson and crew for a great job.
Washburn County Zoning Administrator Webster Macomber and the zoning committee are refusing to enforce the zoning ordinance to prevent a business from operating in a residentially zoned area. Little Bear Road is a quiet private neighborhood occupied by long-term
residents. It is located on the west side of Long Lake. We have been told the zoning regulations need to be updated. Some zoning committee members feel this is a reason not to enforce the current ordinances. Until they are changed, present ordinances should be enforced.
It is a sad day for Wisconsin when residents must take legal action to have the existing ordinances and laws enforced.
Appreciation extended

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer. It is usually found in fair-skinned people on exposed skin areas such as the hands, face and neck. Persons with light skin, who sunburn easily, are at the highest risk, although anyone can get squamous cell carcinoma. Heavy sun exposure and severe sunburns as a child may increase the likelihood of skin cancer. Some fast facts about skin cancer: Skin cancer and melanoma account for about 50 percent of all types of cancer diagnoses combined. It is one of the more preventable types of cancer. More than 90 percent of skin cancer is caused by excessive exposure to the sun. Each hour, one person dies from skin cancer. To help prevent skin cancer, the Centers for Disease Control recommends easy options for sun protection: • Seek shade, especially during midday hours. • Wear clothing to protect exposed skin. • Wear a hat with a wide brim to shade the face, head, ears and neck.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month
by Jessica Beecroft SPOONER - May starts the National Skin Cancer/Melanoma Awareness Month campaign. Skin cancer is the most prevalent of all types of cancers with more than 1 million Americans developing skin cancer every year. Skin cancer is divided into two categories, melanoma and nonmelanoma. Melanoma is a dangerous form of skin cancer. Although serious, nonmelanomas are much less life threatening and easier to treat. Melanoma accounts for 4 percent of skin cancer cases diagnosed. It is estimated that 65,000 people will be diagnosed with melanoma in 2010. Almost 8,000 are expected to die of melanoma this year. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type. It frequently appears on the head, neck and hands as a small, fleshy bump, nodule or red patch. A basal cell carcinoma can also appear as a sore that seems to heal, but recurs repeatedly. The good news is that they are slow growing. However, early detection and removal is important.

Wisconsin tourism shows signs of recovery from recession
Tourism up in Washburn County
WASHBURN COUNTY — A study released by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism this week shows that the state’s tourism industry is showing signs of turning the corner after the recession that has gripped the nation. Traveler spending in the state during 2010 increased 1.8 percent over 2009 according a survey conducted by Davidson-Peterson Associates. During the worst of the recession, traveler spending fell nearly 8 percent. Locally, travelers to Washburn County spent more than $58.1 million in 2010, an increase of 0.26 percent from 2009. Tourism in Washburn County has grown by leaps and bounds over the past 14 years. In 1997 traveler spending was $31 million; in 2010 it was $58.1 million, an in-
crease of over 87 percent. The ever-growing tourism industry in Washburn County supported 1,371 full-time equivalent jobs and a total impact of over $3 million in taxes and other fees to local government in 2010. “We had heard from many local businesses that things were looking up in 2010 and we look forward to the upcoming summer season,” said Michelle Voight, executive director of Washburn County Tourism Association. Washburn County Tourism Association has launched an aggressive marketing campaign including a marketing plan with Discover Wisconsin, online marketing, print marketing, participating in regional marketing initiatives, social media and much more. “We are working extremely hard to market Washburn County as the amazing, family destination that it is,” said Voight. For information on Washburn County Tourism Association, contact Voight at 715-635-9696 or stop into the Washburn

A little bit about Mother’s Day
Abraham Lincoln said, “God bless my mother; all I am or hope to be I owe to her.” Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, former first lady, is quoted as saying, “If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do well matters very much.” We love our moms, but what do we know about the Mother’s Day Suzanne holiday? The folJohnson lowing is information found on the Internet concerning Mother’s Day. The first promoter of a Mother’s Day holiday in the United States may have been Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and was a champion of women’s rights. She hoped the holiday would promote peace. In 1872, Howe suggested that Mother’s Day be observed on June 2, and held antiwar Mother’s Day meetings for several years. She declared, “Arise then ... women of this day! Say firmly: ‘ .... Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.’” In England, the celebration Americans call Mother’s Day is known as Mothering Sunday and is a tradition that began in the 17th century, as a day for apprentices and household servants to return home to visit their mothers. The tradition eventually came to an end in Great Britain, until the idea of an American-style Mother’s Day was introduced there by U.S. soldiers after World War II. Anna Jarvis began organizing Mother’s Day celebrations in 1908, and led the campaign to convince Congress to designate the day to be an annual holiday. Jarvis used carnations at her first Mother’s Day celebration because it was her mother’s favorite flower. In those days, people often wore white carnations on Mother’s Day to honor a deceased mother, or a pink carnation to honor a living one. On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a Congressional resolution that our country would observe Mother’s Day. A year later, he proclaimed it to be an annual holiday. When it comes to purchasing greeting cards, Christmas accounts for 60 percent of all annual sales in the United States, according to the Greeting Card Association. Valentine’s Day is second, followed by Mother’s Day, Easter and Father’s Day. To all women, enjoy this special day in May.

Tailgating increases your risks
SPOONER — Does tailgating force the driver in front of you to speed up or get out of your way? No, tailgating typically won’t get you where you’re going any sooner, but it will increase your risk of a crash. Drivers who tailgate cause countless crashes that could be avoided if they would just leave sufficient space between their vehicle and the one ahead of them, according to Captain Jeff Frenette of the Wisconsin State Patrol, Northwest Region. According to state law, drivers “shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent” based on the
speed of the vehicle, road conditions and traffic. A violation of the law costs $200.50 along with three demerit points. In addition, car insurance premiums often will skyrocket for drivers who hit another vehicle while following too closely. “During the upcoming summer travel season when traffic increases, it’s extremely important to always wear a safety belt just in case you’re rear-ended by a tailgater,” says Frenette. “Taking a few seconds to ensure that you and your passengers are buckled up may be the best decision you’ll ever make.” — from WSP

Local cast members are Brian Knutson, Cumberland, as Flash; Brook Dahlstrom, Shell Lake, as Edwina; and Tianna Willmeth, Barronett, as Barbara Beaver.

Cakes at the Lake kickoff
SARONA — Turn off the entertainment system and come out and be the invader or predator or the hero or heroine of a healthy eco-realm at Long Lake Preservation Association’s first 2011 Cakes at the Lake. The season’s kickoff is Saturday, May 14, at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona. People can enjoy a full breakfast that includes specialty pancakes from 8-10 a.m., after which Cakes at the Lake offers free educational programs appropriate for all ages. This time, the play’s the thing as SEH lake scientist Dave Blumer has participants create both upland and lake ecosystems to dramatize the impact of invasive species and the problems they create. Blumer, a former elementary teacher with a strong personal interest in science activities, will demonstrate that impact by defining terms used by people working in the invasive species arena, including species, native
vs. non-native, invasive, aquatic, terrestrial and others. To further prepare for their roles, participants will learn that there are non-native species in just about any ecosystem they can imagine but that only a few of them actually cause the majority of problems. The speaker will share what those problems are and why they occur. Discussion includes the general origins of many of these species, how they get here and how they are spread around. Since this is not just a local issue, Blumer also will present examples of invasive species that have run amok around the world. Once the basics have been established, the audience will join in a re-creation of the different layers that constitute healthy ecosystems. Then the invasion begins which will vividly demonstrate the impacts that alien species, also called exotics, can have in our native ecosystems. As a final element of this interactive pro-
gram, Blumer will have with him samples of certain local invasive species for people to take a look at, and he will discuss how everyone can help prevent or reduce the impact of aquatic invasive species in order to protect our watersheds. The Bruce School System has embraced the invaders program as part of its spring overnights at Trail’s End Camp. Now this family–friendly activity is coming soon to a watershed near you. The Cakes at the Lake schedule at Hunt Hill also includes: June 11: Wolves in the Watershed with Northland Discovery Center. July 16: Turkey Vultures with Uncle Butzie. Wisconsin Elk with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation; and All about Bats with the bat monitor project at Hunt Hill. — from Hunt Hill

A Mother’s Day
by Mary Olsen, Shell Lake The sentimental lore extolling the virtues of motherhood breaks out like chicken pox every year on a certain Sunday in May. The heartfelt messages from the children to their mothers and the fathers to the mothers of their children are of everlasting love. It is a special time. It’s a time to show our appreciation for a mother’s care. We may send flowers and greeting cards decorated with cute animals, or birds, or ribbons or flowers in flower gardens. We call it Mother’s Day. All the attention is great, but it really falls short of the mark. A mother’s day, if it is a mother of a small child, is not all flowers and fluff. When does a mother’s day start? Let’s just say very early. A mother may be sleepy, but she takes care of the child, and after all the little things she does all day long are done she may be tired, but she still takes care of the child. The mother’s days start before the child is born and continue for a lifetime. You are looking at the most beautiful vision in the world when you see a mother with a newborn baby in her arms. If there is such a thing as true love, this is it. The mother looks upon the tiny face, gently touches the chin, the child’s eyes tight shut open up and the child smiles and the mother smiles. It is like the two are enclosed in a bubble separated from the outside world. The strange thing about it is the mother’s heart has room for many more children and each will be fully loved.
Barronett by Judy Pieper
Happy Mother’s Day. I hope the weather will be a little better by next Sunday, so you can do some fun outdoor things with your mom. Picnic weather would certainly be nice. Can you believe that we had snow, just a trace, but snow just the same, on May Day? And another thing, do you remember when teachers would hang colorful streamers from a Maypole and elementary schoolchildren would dance around with the streamers to decorate it? Does anyone do that anymore? It would have been a little wet yesterday, but I think it would be great to have a May Day celebration again. Maybe next year. The congregation of Barronett Lutheran extends gratitude to Marty Voshell for playing the organ during worship service Sunday. If you know Marty, it almost goes without saying that she did a wonderful job. It was nice to visit with her and her husband, Rod, after the service. Our regular organist, Gerri Pittman, and her husband, Mel, were in Iowa visiting with family this past weekend. We, members of Barronett Lutheran, are once again collecting items to send to our service members stationed in the Middle East. There is a list of suggested items at the church. If you are interested in donating anything, please contact anyone from the church. We have been sending care packages over there for a few years now, and the soldiers who receive them are extremely appreciative. Most of the soldiers serving in the Middle East are young people, far from home and family, and our gifts remind them that there are a lot of people back here who care about them and are praying for them.
THANK YOU
Thank you to the ambulance crew, Ernie, Dr. Haesemeyer and the staff at IMC, family and friends for the cards and food during my time of illness. Your kindness is appreciated. 535359

Your mother will do so many things no one else will do for you. She will smooth down your hair if it keeps popping up, and if it pops up, she will smooth it again. She might tousle your hair with a soft touch. She knows when you’re feeling blue, and when you cry she will wipe away your tears and help you blow your nose. She will bandage your cut finger and remove slivers. She will trim your toenails for you. She will tie your shoes or buckle them, and teach you how to do it yourself. When you call out, “Look, Mom!” she will look, and she will applaud your efforts. She will hold you when you need holding and let you go when you need letting go. She will rock you in her arms and sing to you, tuck you in and listen. She will give you courage and praise and tell you when you are making a fool of yourself. She will care for you, always. I think there is no greater tribute to mothers than the beautiful old song, written in 1915 by Howard Johnson. It was what was called a “spelling mammy song” popularized in vaudeville, and sung by Sophie Tucker. The music was by Theodore F. Morse. M-O-T-H-E-R, (A name that means the world to me). M is for the million things she gave me, O means only that she’s growing old. T is for the tears she shed to save me, H is for her heart of purest gold. E is for her eyes of love-light shining. R is right and right she’ll always be! Put them all together they spell mother, The word that means the world to me.
Actually there are other songs for mothers, and one I love is an Irish song. It is one that came out of Tin Pan Alley in the year 1910. The lovely lyrics were written by Rida Johnson Young and the music by Chauncey Olcott and Ernest R. Ball. Mr. Ball was the songwriter who gave us “When Irish Eyes are Smiling.” It was sung in concert by the great Irish tenor, John McCormack. Mother Machree There’s a spot in my heart, Which no colleen may own. There’s a depth in my soul, Never sounded or known;
The women of Barronett Lutheran will hold their last monthly meeting of the season this Thursday, May 5, at 7 p.m. We hope you will be able to attend. The next time we meet will be in September, and we have to plan for events that will be happening before that. The spring salad luncheon, for example, which will be held on Sunday, May 15. On that Sunday, worship service will be at 10 a.m., and the luncheon will be at about 11a.m. There is a sign-up sheet in the back of the church if you are able to bring a salad or bars. I’ll let you know more about this next week. There will be a plant sale at Wiesner Chapel this Saturday, May 7, starting at 8 a.m. If you have any perennials you would like to donate to the sale, bring them. If, on the other hand, you would like to buy perennials or plants for your garden, stop by and check out the huge selection the Friends of Wiesner Chapel offer. You will be absolutely amazed at the variety of very healthy plants they have, and at the low prices they charge. The proceeds go to maintenance of the chapel. Any plants that are not sold are taken to Cumberland ECU for the plant sale there which is later in the month. Wiesner Chapel is located west of Rice Lake on CTH V between Hwy. 48 and CTH B. Be sure to get there early because the plants go fast. There was a retirement party for Rick Stetler, hosted by Joan, at the Barronett Community Center Sunday afternoon. Rick has been working as the grader operator (and various other jobs) for town of Lakeland for many years, and finally decided it was time to take life a little easier. There was a nice crowd of well-wishers who attended the party, and, I’m sure, almost everyone gave him a bit of a hard time about getting old. Joan had lots of good food for everyone, and we all had a good time visiting. I have to tell you about the cake. It was frosted with white frosting, then two stripes of chocolate to form a crossroad. There were Oreo crumbs on top of the chocolate, so that it looked like a gravel road. Then, a toy grader, which the kids had given Rick when he first started working for the township, was placed on top of the Oreo crumbs. It looked really cute, and it tasted delicious. Enjoy your retirement, Rick, you deserve some time off. Rambo also hosted a party at the community center Sunday afternoon after Rick’s retirement party. He, and I’m sure Lucas and Logan helped, had a surprise party for his lovely wife, Jennifer. Jennifer said that she had a wonderful time at the party, there were about 40 people to help her
celebrate, and the food and cake were delicious. She said that Rambo worked hard to try to keep it a surprise, but she kind of had it figured out a little ahead of time. With Lucas and Logan around it’s probably pretty hard to keep anything secret. Pat Olson hosted a surprise party at the Rolling Oaks in Barron on Saturday evening for Lynn Thon’s birthday. It was a wonderful party, the entire family attended except for Jim, who had to be in Eau Claire at a meeting, Jensyn, who was working and Scott. Jamie was there with Kaitlynn and Jessica, and Alyse and Jason were there with Tru, so the little cousins finally were able to meet. The twins were born in September, and Tru was born in January, so they weren’t too impressed with each other, but eventually they will be. It was a very nice party, and Lynn was taken completely by surprise. I can finally report a bear sighting, a fully awake bear, that is. Aaron Lehmann was going home from his grandma’s house on Wednesday evening and saw a sow and three little tiny cubs at the curve between the Lehmann farm and Dean Jerry’s place. He said that the cubs were just little balls of fur. Clarence and Kathy Bever, and their 5-year-old granddaughter, Carmen, were at the Red Brick for breakfast Sunday morning. Kathy introduced us to Carmen, and we had a very nice visit with them. Carmen told us about going into a field with her grandma and finding bear tracks. I guess that, the night before, a bear had been after the bird feeders in the yard so they were trying to see where he went. Scary! After they left the Red Brick they were going to Rambo and Jennifer’s so that Carmen could play with Lucas and Logan for a while. My letter to you is not usually about world news headlines, but please remember to keep our soldiers in your prayers, especially now. The death of Osama Bin Laden is good news in the war against terrorism. I just hope that there is not a huge retaliation by al-Qaida putting our soldiers in even more danger. Pray for peace. We want all our young people back home safe and sound. God bless America. I guess that’s about all I know from Barronett this week. Be especially nice to your mom on Sunday. See you next time.

WA S H B U R N C O U N T Y R E G I S T E R by Larry Samson SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake boys baseball team got a big win over Siren/Webster, 14-4, in five innings to boost their record to 2-2 for the season and give them the needed boost as they will play five conference games in a week. The wet and cold weather has abbreviated the season this year as they try to get in all the postponed games. Shell Lake took a nine-run lead in the bottom of the second inning and never looked back. Mitch Kraetke pitched five innings giving up four runs on four hits, striking out four batters and walking four. Darren Sahlstrom had three runs on three hits and one triple to lead the Lakers to the win. Shell Lake had a season high of eight stolen bases. Shell Lake will host a doubleheader with Prairie Farm on Thursday, May 5, with a 3:45 p.m. start time. The Lakers travel to Cameron the following day where they hope to redeem their 8-6 loss earlier in the season. They will travel to Turtle Lake on Tuesday, May 10, when they will finish the suspended game they had started back on April 18. It will be an important week in which Shell Lake hopes to get in the five conference games.

Lost in time
by Diane Dryden TREGO – In 1952, a fishing resort was built on the Minong Flowage, in Trego, by E.J. and Margaret O’Brien, at a spot where the mighty Namekagon River temporarily splits into several smaller waterways until they join together again and spill into Trego Lake. The ever-restless water then reforms itself back into a wide and wild river as it once again continues its way north. The O’Briens built their primary residence, which had three bedrooms and two bathrooms, first and then added three furnished two-bedroom cabins and a year-round furnished, one-bedroom cabin. The property sported a sprawling 240 feet of water frontage and when they added the fish cleaning house, they were ready to open their fishing resort. It was a lot of work, but the O’Briens stayed for 15 years before selling it to the second owner, the Morrs, who had it for five years. The next owner, the Falconers, worked the resort for awhile and then it stood empty for over two years before a couple from Chicago looked into buying it. “My husband and I met when we both worked for a trucking company,” says former owner Sue Rowan. “I was a secretary and he was one of the truckers. We eventually married and had a son, Jeff. We vacationed in the Wisconsin northland, spending fun time fishing as a family. When my husband, Bob, turned 65, he knew it was mandatory that he retire from the trucking company, so several

Celebrating 23 Years Of Business & Still Growing!
Dewey Country by Pauline Lawrence
What a week it’s been! Yes, we went from snow, to rain, to sunshine and lots of wind and it’s really chilly out. Certainly is coming through with the spring to be very wet and cold. However I hope this summer isn’t that terrible humid, hot weather like they predict. We get what they give us and just happy to be alive and well. My little puppy, Rory, turned 1 year old, or is that 7, on May 3. He is such a joy to have around and he’s right behind me wherever I go, including going in the car. He goes or he just barks and cries. This week he was busy chasing bugs and birds. He’s very much interested in everything and that nose is going 100 miles an hour. Happy anniversary to John and Jonell Bennin as they celebrate four years together on May 5. Many more to you. May 5, happy birthday to Gene Crosby on his special day with many more to come Gene. Happy birthday to a sweet little guy who turns 3 years old on May 6. Yes, these wishes go out to David Theodore Bos III (Trey) as he has lots of fun on his birthday. Happy birthday to Owen Louis Kress, to Don Dahlstrom and to Vicki Trott, all enjoying their special day on May 7 with many more to come. Happy birthday wishes go out to Glen Albee on his special day, May 8. Many more Glen. Happy birthday goes out to Rebekah Petersen, Andy Atkinson and to a young man, Noah Hile, when he turns 5, all on May 9. Happy birthday to two very special nieces, Dawn Ternberg and Connie Quam, on May 10. Have a wonderful day gals. Happy birthday to a special gal, Alice Denotter, and to Michael Todd Williamson who turns 4 May 10 with many more. Mark Stellrecht, it’s happy birthday time once again. Yes, May 11, Mark celebrates his special day with his family. Hope you’re feeling much better after the surgeries you have had Mark. Greg Atkinson, it’s birthday time for you as you celebrate your special day May 11 with many more to come. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Vincent Johnson who passed away Sunday, May 1. Vincent grew up in Dewey Country, living with his parents up on a big hill and our family owned the farm in the valley so many of us remember Vince going to school together at Doran. Funeral services were held May 4. May 14 will be Dewey Township’s Board of Review at the Dewey Town Hall from 9-11 a.m. John Biver will be there to answer questions. Our township welcomed in the new John Deere grader on Tuesday, April 26, with it being brought out, unloaded and our 22-year-old grader was loaded and off it went. I hope this grader brings as many years of work we had with the one we traded. At this time I feel good about our town board going ahead for a new grader as with 22 years behind it and over 10,000 hours and the grader is the one piece of equipment we use year-round. Next on the list to replace is the loader and it’s just hanging by a thread, too. Our truck was delivered Dec. 4 with our road boss Tom Biver turning the key for the first time, sittin’ up proud and away Tom went. Wasn’t the wedding of William and Kate beautiful? They made such a beautiful couple and the wedding went off without a hitch. And then turning on the TV we see all the terrible tornadoes that hit across the South, etc. So many people were killed and many hurt. I have to say it’s hard for me to believe they have 150-250 tornadoes going through these states. It’s got to be devastating for the people, especially those who lost their loved ones. Who’s hungry? Well ya better watch out as those bears have now awakened and they’re hungry! Monday found Richy’s turkeys making their fateful trip to Barron to Jennie-O. By Tuesday noon the sheds were all empty with the cleaning of the sheds, new bedding brought in and new turkeys coming early Monday morning. I had a nice surprise Saturday evening when a special niece came over with her two daughters, Johanna and Allysha Feeney and son Richy.

work started. They can get in but with the wet conditions it’s “How do I get out?” The next Dewey Town monthly board meeting will be May 12, 8 p.m., at the Dewey Town Hall. Everyone welcome. Fuel prices continue to go up and up. Yes, it’s going to be a rough spring, fall and winter if these prices continue to rise. It hurts every one of us. Talking with Myrna Atkinson she tells us they have now sold 120 acres of their farm where they live on Cy and Margie Atkinson’s farm. They have sold it to Dan Stellrecht. Dave Toll was up to spend the weekend with his pa, Jim Toll. Tammy Moe had her two granddaughters for an Easter basket hunt this Sunday. Table Talk: What is the most enjoyable part of spring comin’ in? Saturday Penny Ladd and two munchkins, Rylee and Reyana, came to spend time with Richy and I. We enjoyed lunch together and a good visit. Those two little munchkins are certainly growing. Thursday, Diane Hulleman picked up her sweet granddaughter, Izzy Jensen, bringing her to Dewey Country while her mom and dad were very busy working. While here, Diane and Izzy visited the library taking out some books and a movie and later going to eat. Izzy had to also bring her black Lab, Winny. Last weekend Bernard and Sandy Redding were at the home of Robin and Robyn Major and sons Christopher and James, with potluck dinner for Easter. Also there were Tim and Chris Redding, Tanner and Chase, and Jeff and Dee Redding, Andrea and Spencer. Daughter Dawn Kane wasn’t able to make it but all had a good time. Thursday Bernard and Sandy were in Eau Claire for a checkup for Sandy. The Reddings also took in the Indianhead Credit Union annual meeting. Soup and sandwiches along with desserts was enjoyed and later the meeting. Bernard was a lucky winner getting $10 and Sandy won a shirt. They also showed a movie on Washburn County and the many activities that take place there. Thinking back to 2005, we lost our house to fire May 5. I remember how cold a spring we had and wet. And then summer came and it was so terribly hot and humid. Let’s hope this doesn’t come forth. Yah and keep the tornadoes away from Dewey Country. We’ve had our turn. A late but very happy birthday to Travis Moe, son of Tammy Moe, on his special day, April 17. Hope you had a wonderful day Travis. His mom, Tammy takes care of Jim Toll at this time. Easter Sunday, Jerry and Gretchen Best went to Luck to Gretchen’s mom, Lillian Strege’s, with potluck with a number of other relatives coming to enjoy family time. Monday, Jerry and Gretchen Best picked up Lillian and they went to the Twin Cities to a funeral for a relative. Saturday found Beth Crosby, Judy Leonard, Dixie Andrea, Kay Krantz, Marion Bricken and Kris Fjelstad enjoying the salad luncheon at Faith Lutheran Church in Spooner. Report was the salads were delicious and so many kinds. Sunday Beth Crosby was on her way to Madison to

A son was born to Princess Anne and Capt. Mark Philips on Nov. 15, 1977. But Buckingham Palace waited 23 days before naming him Peter Mark Andrew. No explanation was given for the delay, but a reporter suggested that there was a difference of opinion between the parents and Queen Elizabeth. But when God’s only begotten son was born on that first Christmas morning, there was no delay or doubt about his name. Before he was born, an angel said to his foster father, “Thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Why don’t you let him save you from your sins now?

Duane E. Berglund, 82, Spooner, died April 30, 2011, at his home, surrounded by his family. Duane was born Jan. 24, 1929, in Spooner, to Vernon and Carrie (Cartwright) Berglund. He married Mary Johnson on March 3, 1951, in Pine City, Minn. Duane entered the Army shortly after and served in the Korean War. He was welcomed home by his wife and daughters in 1953, and continued to raise a family while working many jobs. He enjoyed working for Lamperts Lumber Yard in Spooner, and by the time he was 40, he owned and operated Bergie’s Septic Service, better known as El Stinko. He eventually sold the business to his son-inlaw, but kept busy with his dump truck and backhoe. He enjoyed winters in Arizona and summers at the cabin on Frog Lake.

What a difference a year makes. The combination of cold weather and precipitation has had farmwork at a virtual stand still. Last year at this time crops were in, trees were leafed out and we were enjoying fresh homegrown asparagus. We still have so much to be thankful for here even though it’s getting so late for getting in the crops. We don’t have flooding here and seldom a tornado, but we did have about one-half inch of white stuff Thursday morning. The beautiful golden forsythia bushes are trying to bloom. The big fishing season opens on Saturday. Some seasonal campers are going by heading for area campgrounds. Mother’s Day is Sunday. There is polka music every Wednesday at White Tail Ridge from 1-4 p.m. The big news for the world on the weekend was the royal wedding, and now Osama bin Laden has been killed by an elite team of secretive and highly mythologized special forces. One of the largest counterterrorism missions in U.S. history. Al and Jolene Loew, my neighbors, are back to their home here after spending the winter in Illinois and Florida. Congratulations to Al as he was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at the Willow Brook High School in Villa Park, Ill., where he was football coach for 40-plus years and was also a golf and badminton coach. They went on to Fort Meyers, Fla., and report it was a good winter, 80 degrees every day but two, only rained two times in the two months but was very dry there. They came back and spent Palm Sunday with daughter Tammy and her family in Villa Park, came to Wisconsin to Menomonie, spent Easter with
their other daughter, Sue, and David Haismas, back to Illinois to finish getting their house ready to sell and now here. Evelyn Schaffer enjoyed a bus trip last Wednesday to Saturday with her sister, Mary Ellen Prestrude. She is a member of the Hay Rivers Quilters Club in Prairie Farm, where the group of ladies got together and rented a bus to go to the American Quilters Show in Paducah, Ky. Evelyn reports it was wonderful. They had moved the show, where originally planned, as they were afraid it would be flooding. They did see a lot of that. We are so lucky here. One day last week, Russ Furchtenicht had a nice visit with Gus Raab who resides at Heritage Manor in Rice Lake. Russ found him in good spirits even though he had his leg amputated recently due to diabetes. Russ and Nancy Furchtenicht went to Eau Claire and enjoyed the “Deer Hunting” play at Fannie Hill Friday night and stayed overnight. Sunday afternoon they took in Adam Holzem’s Eagle Scout ceremony held at the community center in Shell Lake. Congratulations Adam. Get-well-quick wishes to Gina West Noterman in Minneapolis, Minn., who had an emergency appendectomy last week. Her mom, Debbie, went down to baby-sit 1-1/2-year-old Levi. Coffee visitors at my house during the week included Mary Krantz, Bev Helmer, Gloria Frey and Elaine Ryan. Granddaughter Sara Marschall and Kyle Mathison were supper guests at my house Wednesday night. Saturday night, grandson Brian Marschall and his prom date, Jade LaFave, and friends Sam Livingston and his date Hannah Anderson stopped out
Notices STATE OF WISCONSIN - TOWN OF DEWEY - BURNETT COUNTY
Notice is hereby given that the Board of Review for the Town of Dewey, Burnett County, Wisconsin, shall hold its first meeting on May 14, 2011, from 9 a.m., at Town Hall. Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the board: 1. No person will be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to testify to the Board by telephone, or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the assessor to view the property. 2. After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection, except at a session of the Board. 3. The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the Board shall waive that requirement during the first 2 hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the 5th day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than 5 days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first 2 hours of the first scheduled meeting. 4. Objections to the amount or valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the clerk of the Board of Review within the first 2 hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the 5th day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than 5 days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in questions. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who own land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the Board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board. 5. When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person shall specify in writing the person’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate. 6. No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the assessor or the objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the assessor with all the information about income and expenses, as specified in the assessor’s manual under s.73.03 (2a), Wis. stats., that the assessor requests. The Town of Dewey has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of a court.* The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under s.19.35 (1), Wis. stats. 7. The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability.

after eating out at the Five O’Clock Club before the prom so I could see them. That was so nice of those kids, and they looks so pretty in their prom attire. I got some nice pictures.

Remember Sarona cleanup day will be held by the town hall on Saturday, May 14, from 9 to 11 a.m. One can take appliances, electronics and are allowed four tires. That’s just for the town of Sarona residents only!

Where is spring? It’s taking a long time to get here. Temps in the low 40s with snow flurries on Sunday. I think we are being tested. If only the sun would shine it would help. Of course the biggest news Monday was Osama bin Laden is dead, shot down by American forces. Will it make a difference? The next biggest news is the wedding of William and Kate in London who were married on Friday. It was a beautiful and interesting affair. We wish them our best. Glad to hear Marvin Mortensen is home from the hospital. Get-well wishes from all of us. Mavis Flach is battling a bad cold so hasn’t done much. I think it’s the cold, damp weather we are experiencing. Judy and Myron Bolterman attended the spaghetti feed and fundraiser for Gene Larson at Tony’s on Saturday. They said it was a very large crowd coming and going all day. Glad to hear that, Gene and Janet. Janet is our beautician. Arlys Santiago is home again after spending days in Ocala, Fla., visiting her brother, Alvin, and Judy Olson. She went there with her sisters, Avis Paulson of Verndale, Minn., and Audrey Carlson. They, along with Alvin, sang at the sunrise service Easter Sunday. Avis’ son, Steve, and Char, Blake, Calvin and Bailey who live in Orlando, Fla., came over to visit. Arlys and Alvin went out fishing one day while there. Judy’s mom, 95 years old, treated them to supper at the Yearling. It was prom night in Shell Lake Satur-
day night. Brian Marschall and his date, Jade LaFave, attended from here. On Friday night John and Mary Marschall attended the 40th wedding anniversary for Patti and Paul Naglosky at the Das Lach Haus in Cumberland. Congratulations to you! Congratulations to Sara Marschall and Kyle Mathison of Cumberland who were engaged over the weekend. Mary and John Marschall attended the Eagle Scout ceremony on Sunday at the community center where Adam Holzem received his Eagle Scout award. Congratulations Adam. Louise Schade came up to visit her family here. They all enjoyed supper at Florence Carlson’s including Frank and son, Brian, Lillian, Margaret and Louise. D. Helen Pederson has moved from here at Glenview to Terraceview Living Center. She is now with her husband, Arvid, a resident at TLC. On Sunday afternoon Susan and Larry Winner of Duluth, Minn., stopped in to see Helen V. Pederson on their way home from a weekend Lions meeting in Mankato, Minn. Larry is promoting diabetic care in the Lions Club. This Thursday their club is sponsoring a pancake feed at the D.E.C.K. They serve about 8,000 people all day. That’s a lot of flipping. On Thursday, Gordon and Jean Toftness celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary. Congratulations! A child is a person who can dismantle in five minutes the toy it took you five hours to put together.
Friendship Commons by Theresa Sigmund
The book club met on Friday morning, April 29, with the following attending: Mary, Mavis, Marie, Theresa, Janice, Carol and Peter Hubin. It was a great honor meeting Hubin. We discussed Hubin’s book, “The General’s Den,” which is mostly fiction. Our next book is “Barefoot Boy and other Drivel” also by Hubin. Hubin has a great imagination. He has another book coming out, “Showdown at General’s Den.” It may be out in June. Our quilting is coming along nicely. More on that later. Here is a note from our site aide, Eva Johnston. “I think spring has finally arrived! And with the new season here, comes a new menu option for Friendship Commons. We will discontinue the soup and sandwiches until next fall. It was a
great meal option and many participated, but with the warmer weather approaching we’ll be offering a lighter substitute. Now, along with the chef’s salads, seniors can have the option of a sandwich and chip meal without having to order ahead. This meal consists of a ham, salami or pastrami sandwich on a croissant; chips, pickle spear, fruit and cookie all for the same price as an ordered meal. So come into Friendship Commons/Shell Lake Senior Center and have yourself a warm, nutritionally balanced meal which must be ordered 24 hours in advance, a chef’s salad or sandwich and chips. Three options you can’t turn away! Hope to see you soon. Thanks, Eva.” I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.

SHELL LAKE WATERWORKS
Water System Information
If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Mitch Brown at 715-468-7873.
Health Information
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health-care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

To obtain a summary of the source water assessment, please contact Mitch Brown at 715-4687873.
Educational Information
The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

M C L G
Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. • Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm-water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm-water runoff and residential uses. • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm-water runoff and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.
Number of Contaminants Required to be Tested
This table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the last five years. The CCR may contain up to five years’ worth of water quality results. If a water system tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the most recent year are shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR are from the past five years.

Save second base
by Jessica Beecroft SHELL LAKE – Becky’s Food and Spirits had their annual fundraiser to help fight Breast Cancer on Saturday, April 30. Carols Clan joined up with Becky’s Breast Friends to raise money for local women who are fighting the cancer. According to Brad Newman, Carol’s Clan fundraiser had the best year ever, raising over $7,300! A cake was even brought to the event saying “Save 2nd Base!” After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. But breast cancer rates have fallen in recent years, though doctors aren’t certain why. Still, for many women, breast cancer is the disease they fear most. Public support for breast cancer awareness and research funding has helped improve the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer survival rates have increased, and the number of deaths has been declining, thanks to earlier detection, new treatments and a better understanding of the disease. Washburn County participates with the Wisconsin Well Woman Program to provide vouchers for free breast and cervical cancer screenings with local providers to women who meet age, income and insurance guidelines.

Tory Williams and Caleb Schmidt are the students in the advanced chemistry class preparing the CO2 bomb. When thrown, the CO2 builds up pressure until it explodes. Paige Klassa demonstrates the explosive properties of dust. The dust would not burn while in a pile but suspended in air it’s a different matter.
