The recipe my father used in his dairy barn was something like
this: 8 cups hydrated (masonry) lime and 2 cups of salt mixed
into each gallon of water. If I recall correctly, Dad also added
Lysol to his whitewash as a germicide. I always liked to go into
the barn when he was finished whitewashing. It was an ugly job,
but it made the barn look and smell good for a day or two. The

What a wonderful month July was. I am looking forward to a fabulous August. But I do think summer is moving much too
fast.
Seniors are busy getting their senior pictures done. We chose Anthony Bley Photography for Kassidys senior pictures. An-
thony is the son in law of Kathy Rank. He and his wife Kittrick were simply awesome. So personable and they made the pho-
to shoot fun.
I delivered two young ladies, Kassidy Ashbeck and Madelyn Korbas, to University of Whitewater for Theatre Camp for a
week in July.
Our kids are gearing up for their upcoming sports seasons because pretty soon the high school sports will be starting. Re-
member, let the players play, let the coaches- coach, let the officials officiate, let the parents and spectators be positive.
Congratulations to Michelle Boor for being selected as our new Athletic Director.
If you are interested in attending games. The sports schedules are already posted on the Wabeno School Website. I personally
hope to see more school staff, administration and school board members at our sporting events, not only the ones that pertain
to their children. The local school board is a critical link from our school to the public. School board members serve their
communities in several important ways one way is to show their school spirit and the support for our athletic programs.
Plus- how great does it look to players to see their board members and administration there to support them?!
The REDS sure are popping out in all my Mandeville planters. Thank goodness we had some hot humid weather to help them
along. Flower lesson: Do research on flowers. All flowers react differently to climates. Some like water, some dont want to
be overwatered. Some thrive in hot humid weather, some do not. Those few days of humidity sure helped my hanging Man-
deville baskets bloom out. I say bring on the hot weather! Ellis at the motel sure is taking care of the planter in front of his
house. It looks great Ellis! Its amazing what can happen when flowers are taken care of properly.
Backhaus Sportsman's Retreat is putting together a Bean Bag Toss tournament on August 5th with the money raised being
donated to Ties That Bind (for Cancer patients).
Games will be set up down Main Street in front of Backhaus , Wabeno Bowl and Pichottas Pub. Stop in at previously men-
tioned businesses to sign up. Join us for a fun filled day!
Our volleyball teams hosted another Rod Wilde volleyball camp. Olympic volleyball player, Rod Wilde and his team were

when Rod and his team come.
Congrats to Taylor Neitzer for receiving the Don Huettl
Memorial scholarship and the Rick Van Camp Memorial

serve our country. You will do great things!

tling Nationals. Dylan competed in the 2017 Junior Free-
