Celebrating with ice creamJune is Wisconsin Dairy

Month and to celebrateShell Lake State Bank has along-standing tradition ofserving free ice cream onFridays and Saturdaysduring June. I enjoy thistradition very much.When talking with a cus-tomer one Friday morning,I asked if she had been tothe bank for ice cream. Shereplied with, “Isn’t it a bitearly for ice cream?” Notfor me. I can eat ice cream

at any time. I’m not the only one either.One Wednesday morning before heading to a 6 a.m.

appointment in St. Paul, Minn., I was checking my e-mail messages and went on Facebook where I had aquick chat with a friend. I asked what she was doingup before 4 a.m. Her reply was that the mint ice creamin the freezer was calling her name. For those thatknow Janice, they know that she is the queen of icecream.I hear that businesses known for ice cream have in-

troduced new flavors for this summer. One new fla-vor is French Toast that has pieces of french toast anda maple syrup flavor. There is Firehouse, whichsounds too hot to be ice cream and Late-Night Snackthat has chocolate-dipped potato chips mixed in. Ofthose three flavors, I would probably choose the late-night snack one, although I don’t think I will try tojoin Janice if she gets a call from the ice cream in herfreezer at 3:30 a.m. I also hope that by this time Janicehas forgiven me for not waking her from her catnaparound the campfire during the dreamsicle lap at theWashburn County Relay For Life that was held ear-lier this month.

Reminder No. 1: If you have anyAmerican flags that are either tat-tered or torn and remember that youcan’t put the flag in the garbage,bring them over to a white postalcontainer located on Main Street onthe northwest corner of the ShellLake Public Library. They will bediscarded properly. No. 2: If you getthis paper on Wednesday, tomorrowthere will be a demonstration of allkinds of little animals in the library.There will be a trained educator with

all sorts of little animals and he’ll be there from 2 to 3p.m. No. 3: The July 4 parade is coming soon so getyour pontoon or boat ready. No. 4: American EaglesDay is Saturday, Aug. 6, when members of the Experi-mental Aircraft Association give free airplane rides tochildren at the Shell Lake airport. The scheduled timeshave been set as noon to 2 p.m., but if there are kids stillwaiting to fly, the times will be extended. A parent orguardian must sign for the kids to take flight.

•••As of Monday, June 13, the lake level went down a

little from last week. It went from 1,218.53 to 1,218.39.That decrease of .14 x 12 inches equals a decrease of 1.68inches, and as I promised, the temperature of the wateris 70 degrees. Just so I do not receive sarcastic remarksfrom my erstwhile friends saying, “Well in front of myplace it was a lot colder,” the temp of 70 degrees wasrecorded at the end of my dock on the South Bay, at

10:42 a.m. June 14, and that point is approximately 1-3/4 miles east on South Lake Drive. To be more defi-nite, the temp was taken at 45 degrees 72 minutes northlatitude and 91 deg 92 min west longitude.

•••Last week I was returning a DVD that I had bor-

rowed from the library and as I stood there chattingwith Rita Baker, who is one of the library assistants, shetook out the DVD disc that I had returned and washand washing it correctly. “Yes,” she said “When theyare returned we clean them the correct way so you allshould not have a problem of skipping or stoppingwhen you watch them.” Very nice, thank you.Speaking of the library, over the years I am sure you

have noticed little brass tags on some of the tables andother furniture denoting that particular item as beingdonated by The Friends of the Library. Most of themdate back to the early 1990s when the library wasmoved to its present location. The monies that wereraised came from individuals, companies, trusts andwere accumulated through the efforts of many peopleand one person in particular, Mr. John Friedell. Johnspoke to town councils, companies and any contactwhen the good of the library was involved. The point inthis writing is twofold. One, making mention of John’simmense contribution and for anyone going into the li-brary to ensure that you notice the brass plate on thefront desk denoting that the desk was donated as a me-morial to John. Second, as you pass the desk going to-ward the fiction books, look toward the top of themiddle shelving and there is another brass plate denot-

ing that that particular set of shelves was donated byMr. W. Taubman as a memorial to his wife, Lynn. Thesedonations happened fairly recently and are alwayshelpful. If you feel that you would like to emulate thesetwo memorials, talk to Beth. As I mentioned in a previ-ous column, The Friends will be reassembling so be-ware, my hand will be out. The plan for the completion of the remodeling of the

entryway to the library and the Shell Lake City officesis to be completed by this coming weekend. The addi-tion of a bench, which will be placed under the library’seave, is to accommodate computer users who can takeadvantage of the free connection to the Internet. Some-body told me that people have also taken advantage ofthat free connection while sitting in their cars at thecurb.

•••In a little church, a pastor mentioned to his congrega-

tion that the power of prayer is wonderful and power-ful and did anyone sitting need that help. A gentlemanstood up and said, “I need help with my hearing.”“Come down front my friend and the Lord will helpyou.” He went down to the pastor who had him kneeldown, and the pastor put his finger in an ear, put theother hand on his head and while other people gatheraround the man, all the people prayed loudly. Aftersome period of time all the praying stopped and thepreacher called out in a loud voice, “And now my son,how is your hearing?” The man stood up and said,“Oh, that hearing won’t be on till next week.”

One, making mention of John’s immense con-tribution and for anyone going into the library to en-sure that you notice the brass plate on the front deskdenoting that the desk was donated as a memorial toJohn. Second, as you pass the desk going toward the fic-tion books, look toward the top of the middle shelvingand there is another brass plate denoting that that par-ticular set of shelves was donated by Mr. W. Taubmanas a memorial to his wife, Lynn. These donations hap-pened fairly recently and are always helpful. If you feelthat you would like to emulate these two memorials,talk to Beth. As I mentioned in a previous column, TheFriends will be reassembling so beware, my hand willbe out. The plan for the completion of the remodeling of the

entryway to the library and the Shell Lake City officesis to be completed by this coming weekend. The addi-tion of a bench, which will be placed under the library’seave, is to accommodate computer users who can takeadvantage of the free connection to the Internet. Some-body told me that people have also taken advantage ofthat free connection while sitting in their cars at thecurb.•••In a little church, a pastor mentioned to his congrega-

tion that the power of prayer is wonderful and power-ful and did anyone sitting need that help. A gentlemanstood up and said, “I need help with my hearing.”“Come down front my friend and the Lord will helpyou.” He went down to the pastor who had him kneeldown, and the pastor put his finger in an ear, put theother hand on his head and while other people gatheraround the man, all the people prayed loudly. Aftersome period of time all the praying stopped and thepreacher called out in a loud voice, “And now my son,how is your hearing?” The man stood up and said,“Oh, that hearing won’t be on till next week.”

Celebrating with ice creamJune is Wisconsin Dairy Month and to celebrate Shell

Lake State Bank has a long-standing tradition of serv-ing free ice cream on Fridays and Saturdays duringJune. I enjoy this tradition very much. When talkingwith a customer one Friday morning, I asked if she hadbeen to the bank for ice cream. She replied with, “Isn’tit a bit early for ice cream?” Not for me. I can eat icecream at any time. I’m not the only one either.One Wednesday morning before heading to a 6 a.m.

appointment in St. Paul, Minn., I was checking my e-mail messages and went on Facebook where I had aquick chat with a friend. I asked what she was doing upbefore 4 a.m. Her reply was that the mint ice cream inthe freezer was calling her name. For those that know

Janice, they know that she is thequeen of ice cream.I hear that businesses known

for ice cream have introducednew flavors for this summer. One newflavor is French Toast that has pieces of french toast anda maple syrup flavor. There is Firehouse, which soundstoo hot to be ice cream and Late-Night Snack that haschocolate-dipped potato chips mixed in. Of those threeflavors, I would probably choose the late-night snackone, although I don’t think I will try to join Janice if shegets a call from the ice cream in her freezer at 3:30 a.m. Ialso hope that by this time Janice has forgiven me fornot waking her from her catnap around the campfireduring the dreamsicle lap at the Washburn CountyRelay For Life that was held earlier this month.
