<BR>> <BR>> Obituary Backs `Removal Of Bush'
<BR>> Woman `Thought He Was A Liar' <BR>>
By Lee Sensenbrenner <BR>>
The Capital Times <BR>> <BR>> Thursday 22 August
2003 <BR>> <BR>> When Sally Baron's family wrote
her obituary,<BR>> they described a northern Wisconsin woman who
raised<BR>> six children and took care of her husband after he was<BR>>
crushed in a mining accident. <BR>> <BR>> She had
moved to Stoughton seven years ago to be<BR>> closer to her children and was
71 when she died Monday<BR>> after struggling to recuperate from heart
surgery. Her<BR>> family had come to the question of what might be a<BR>>
fitting tribute to her. <BR>> <BR>> "My uncle
asked if there was a cause," her<BR>> youngest son, Pete Baron, said.
<BR>> <BR>> Almost in unison, what her children
decided to<BR>> include in the obituary was this: "Memorials in her<BR>>
honor can be made to any organization working for the<BR>> removal of
President Bush." <BR>> <BR>> "She thought he was
a liar," Baron's daughter,<BR>> Maureen Bettilyon, said. "I think his
personality,<BR>> just standing there with that smirk on his face,
and<BR>> acting like he's this holy Christian, that's what<BR>> really got
her." <BR>> <BR>> Bettilyon, who lives in
Stoughton, said her<BR>> mother didn't trifle with petty neighborhood
squabbles<BR>> but was attuned to significant policy-making at all<BR>>
levels. <BR>> <BR>> "She'd always watch CNN,
C-SPAN, and you know,<BR>> she'd just swear at the TV and say `Oh, Bush,
he's<BR>> such a whistle ass!' She'd just get so mad," Bettilyon<BR>>
said. <BR>> <BR>> Sally Baron was born in Hurley,
Wis., and spent<BR>> nearly her entire life in the timber and mining<BR>>
country of Iron County. She worked as a factory<BR>> assembly worker, a
waitress, a cook and a dietician,<BR>> while her husband, James "Slugger"
Baron, worked deep<BR>> in the iron mines. <BR>> <BR>>
Following a promotion, Slugger worked briefly<BR>>
above ground on mining machinery but in 1969 was<BR>> crushed under two tons
of equipment. His back and all<BR>> his ribs were broken and a leg was
snapped at the<BR>> shin. <BR>> <BR>> "We went
to school and they told us our dad was<BR>> dead because the accident was so
bad," Bettilyon said.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Sally
rushed to the scene and demanded that he be<BR>> treated locally by a doctor
she believed in rather<BR>> than risk transporting him more than 100 miles
to<BR>> specialists in Duluth. <BR>> <BR>>
Bettilyon said the decision saved her father's<BR>> life and put him in the
hands of a "really<BR>> old-fashioned kind of common-sense doctor." <BR>>
<BR>> Slugger convalesced and returned to work
in<BR>> carpentry, then was elected the mayor of Montreal,<BR>> Wis., a
post he held for over 20 years, nearly until<BR>> his death seven years ago.
His accomplishments<BR>> included sinking new municipal water wells
and<BR>> establishing one of the first sewage treatment plants<BR>> in the
area. <BR>> <BR>> Meanwhile, their children grew
up. Their oldest<BR>> son, Jeff, died as a college student at age 21
of<BR>> leukemia. Another son joined the Navy and the rest of<BR>> the
children graduated from Wisconsin universities. <BR>> <BR>>
"She was the den mother. She was the 4-H
leader.<BR>> She is the lady that taught all of us how to swim, how<BR>>
to play softball, how to camp," said her son, Joe<BR>> Baron, who owns a
plumbing business in Prairie du Sac.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
"Montreal isn't a big city, but it's not that<BR>>
small, either. It was about 850 people. And my friends<BR>> used to joke that
when my mom goes to the front door<BR>> -- when I was a kid, this is -- and
yells out Jeff,<BR>> Jim, Joe!' there was no place in Montreal that
she<BR>> couldn't be heard. <BR>> <BR>> "And
it meant one of three things: It was either<BR>> time to eat, it was time to
do a chore, or it was time<BR>> to get in a lineup to find out who did this
atrocity<BR>> that she perceived. Then the fury of Genghis Khan<BR>> would
come out." <BR>> <BR>> Joe Baron said that the
day his mother died he<BR>> spent a lot of time waiting in the lobby, and so
he<BR>> sat and looked at the paper. <BR>> <BR>>
"I noticed that 776 years earlier to the day,<BR>>
Genghis Khan died. And we got quite a chuckle out of<BR>> that, you know?" he
laughed. "Anyhow, yeah, she was a<BR>> great lady." <BR>> <BR>>
"She was real tough, real strong," Bettilyon<BR>>
said. "They never sued the mining company or anything,<BR>> and my parents
were so helpful to us. We're people who<BR>> waste money, and they never
wasted money. They helped<BR>> all of us buy houses." <BR>> <BR>>
The decision to put the line in about Bush came<BR>>
easily, although after several family members thought<BR>> of it, there was
some "how can we really say this"<BR>> kind of laughter. "It should be
impeachment, not<BR>> removal," Pete said, laughing. "That can mean a
couple<BR>> of things." <BR>> <BR>> Joe Baron
has no question that his mother would<BR>> approve. <BR>> <BR>>
"She just didn't trust that a big corporate guy<BR>>
was going to be doing what was best for her. She just<BR>> really didn't
trust him," he said. <BR>> <BR>> A memorial
service for Sally Baron will be held<BR>> at Covenant Lutheran Church in
Stoughton at 1 p.m.<BR>> Friday. Graveside services in Hurley are scheduled
for<BR>> Sept. 20. <BR>> <BR>> © Copyright 2003 by TruthOut.org<BR>>
