to 5 p.m., Holidays: 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m Roger Lee Schluter May 23, 30, 2022 Lee Schluter, age 94, of Bara- boo, passed away on Tues- day, August 30, 2022, at Oak Park Place in Baraboo. Roger was born on May 23, 1928, in the township of Ironton, the son of Orra G. and Maude M. (Pear- son) Schluter.

He was the youngest son of four sisters and two brothers. When Roger was three years old, his family moved to a farm north of Baraboo where he attended a one room el- ementary school at Lower Webster Prairie before graduating from Baraboo High School. While growing up, Roger became a 4-H junior leader, won four golden gloves while boxing in high school, and was captain of the track team his senior year. Following graduation, he enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps. during World War II and was trained at radar school in Boca Raton, FL.

Roger was then assigned to Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska, and where he became a sergeant in charge of radar maintenance and operations at the base. After his honorable discharge, Roger enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and received a de- gree in mechanical engineering. While attending the university, he was on the varsity gymnastics team and earned three athletic letters. During his senior year, while roller skating, he met JoAnne Avery of Madison, and married her on Oct. 10, 1953 in Madison, WI.

He and JoAnne became excellent roller dancers for life. Roger was employed at the Caterpillar Tractor Com- pany for over 33 years. He began his career in the Peoria, IL, plant, where he worked in the experimental section and became a project engineer in charge of structure testing and stress analysis. In addition, he supervised the building of new and reproduction earth moving products. Roger then transferred to the Milwaukee ex- perimental plant for three years, and finished his career with Caterpillar at the Aurora plant.

During this time he and JoAnne were blessed with two sons, Roger James and Steven Philip. Roger and his family lived for over 25 years in Sand- wich, IL. While living there, he was a member and past president of the Lions Club, member of the Moose Club, director of a sheltered work shop, and president of the High School Band Association. In addition, Roger be- longed to the S.S.A. (Society of Automotive Engineers) and the S.E.S.A.

(Society of Experiment Stress Anal- ysis). In his spare time, Roger enjoyed playing golf, bowl- ing on local teams, and did a lot of square dancing with JoAnne. Together, he and his family traveled consider- ably around the country in their motor home while on vacations. After his retirement in 1985, Roger and JoAnne moved back to Baraboo. Since then, he has belonged to the Baraboo Optimist Club and the Badger Area Technical Society.

However, his main interest was his member- ship in the two local veteran groups; the 40 8 and the American Legion Post 26, where he became commander and member of the honor guard for over 12 years. In ad- dition, he enjoyed woodworking where he made various projects for his family and members of the organiza- tions that he belonged to. Roger is survived by his wife of 69 years, JoAnne; two sons: Roger James (Gail) Schluter and Steven Philip (Ar- letta) Schluter; three grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. In addition to his parents, Roger was preceded in death by four sisters: Joan Rague, Catherine Crahen, Margaret Phillips and Virginia Klitzke; two brothers: Charles and Orra Schluter. Per request, private family services will be held at a later date.

Last year they had 70 teams competing. we bask in this warm Sep- tember sun, which illuminates all Henry David Thoreau Even though still very early September, I know I need to plan ahead for my house- plants if I want it to be a mad scramble if we get an early frost. Many of us have houseplants that take a summer vacation out on the deck or patio. But be- fore you bring them back indoors for the winter, there is some prep work want to do.

The houseplants that I allow to go on summer vacation are typically tropical plants as they can appreciate the warmth and humidity of our summer weather. Just like in the spring, they need to get acclimated to our indoor temperatures, warmth, and lighting so they throw a fit by withering and dropping all their leaves. Knowing when to end your summer vacation can be deter- mined by watching over- night temperatures. If the temperatures are going to drop below 45 degrees, time to bring them in. If it gets any colder, you will most likely see damage on any newer plant growth.

Your houseplants will need to get used to the lower light levels in our homes so move them to a shady place a couple weeks prior to bringing them indoors. This is a great time to trim them back if become a little overgrown. Before you bring house- plants indoors, check for insect hitchhikers. I did a poor job last year and fought mealybugs all win- ter long. Some other ma- jor pests include aphids, spider mites, fungus gnats, root ball pests such as pill bugs, millipedes, and slugs, scales, and whiteflies.

Preventing an insect problem is easier than eliminating one. If the plant was placed on the ground, it may have some insects that got in through the drain hole so take the plant out of the pot and check the soil. Find a place where you can segregate your house- plants from others that are already in the home. This will give you time to eliminate an infestation before it spreads to your entire houseplant popu- lation. Carefully inspect each plant for signs of pests, especially the un- derside of leaves and near the stems.

Even if you see any insects, give them all a shower, using a handheld showerhead or spray nozzle to wash the underside as well as the top side. If you have insects such as aphids and mealybugs, you can wipe them off using a cotton swap dipped in rubbing alcohol. Scale insects will need to be scraped off. If the infestation is in the early stages, you can po- tentially eliminate it with multiple applications of insecticidal soap. Read the labels carefully to make sure effective against your pest.

For more de- tails on how to deal with a particular insect prob- lem, visit clemson.edu/factsheet/ common-houseplant-in- sects-related-pests. Once your houseplants are indoors, cut back on the watering and fertiliz- ing. Winter is their dor- mant time, so they need as much water or fer- tilizer as they did during the growing season. Fer- tilizing will start in the spring and the plants need just enough water so they dry out. While your houseplants rest, they still need bright, indirect light.

If you have a sunny window, consider supplementing with grow lights. Our homes tend to have dry air in the winter so your plants will appreciate a lit- tle extra humidity. We run a humidifier in the winter, and I place my house- plants near it. You can place your plants in a peb- ble tray with some water or mist your plants daily if you have time. Follow these steps and you should have happy houseplants until their next summer vacation.

But the 26-year-old so- cial worker of Portland, Or- egon, skimped on her eye makeup the mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow she typically wears to work just above her face mask. something I go Maldonado said. And she seem to be alone. Many major retailers slashed their financial out- looks for the year after seeing shoppers pull back on many discretionary items in the latest quarter.

But among the notable exceptions: beauty. Target, and Nordstrom all highlighted strong sales of beauty items in their fiscal second-quarter earnings reports issued over the past few weeks. Walmart, the largest retailer, said that seeing increased momentum in its beauty business, citing strong sales in cosmetics as well as skin and hair businesses. Mean- while, Ulta Beauty, the larg- est beauty retailer in the country, said overall sales spiked nearly in its most recent quarter, compared to the same period last year. Americans, once stuck behind Zoom screens in the thick of the pandemic, are out and about and wanting to look their best.

Co-workers some of whom are meeting each other for the first time are trying to make an im- pression. Meanwhile, people are going out on dates and getting together for summer parties and barbeques after months of pandemic-in- duced leisurewear and Net- flix binges at home. But another possible ex- planation for why beauty is thriving when consumers are more apprehensive about their spending is a long-held theory known as the which posits that lip- stick sales rise during times of economic downturn. The reasoning goes: When consumer sentiment de- clines, Americans seek es- capism by looking for small ways to indulge themselves, such as by purchasing a new lipstick instead of pricier al- ternatives they can no lon- ger afford. For others, their version of lipstick might be cheap beer or a $5 Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks, which reported record rev- enue in August for its fiscal third quarter.

The lipstick theory has held, though not always. Makeup sales spiked during the Great Depression and the recession in the early 2000s. But sales declined during the 2008 economic collapse, ac- cording to market research firm NPD Group. The same happened during the early days of the pandemic as Americans stayed home or behind masks and shifted their interests towards well- ness and skincare as stimu- lus payments flooded bank accounts, helping balloon the savings of consumers who were already spending less on traveling or eating out due to pandemic lock- downs.
