Special snomo teamto end patrols: DNR

By a 4-3 decision, the Wis-consin Supreme Court over-turned last week a DaneCounty Circuit Court’s rulingthat Republicans violated thestate’s open meetings lawwhen a Senate panel passedGov. Scott Walker’s budget re-pair bill earlier this year.

The state’s high court rein-stated the legislation thattakes collective bargainingaway from most public work-

ers, deciding that a committeeof lawmakers was not subjectto the state’s open meetingslaw when it approved themeasure in March.

The court overruled DaneCounty Circuit Court JudgeMaryann Sumi, who had halt-ed the legislation that re-ceived national attention.Union leaders were disap-pointed by the high court’s de-cision.

“It’s hard to understand

how the Wisconsin SupremeCourt could accept and decidea case of this magnitude —one that guts 50 years of col-lective bargaining — in a sin-gle day,” said Randy Wein-garten, president of the Amer-ican Federation of Teachers.

“We are disappointed butnot surprised by the SupremeCourt ruling and will redou-ble our efforts to restore a fairand democratic process to

Wisconsin,” said Weingarten.“The thousands of people whohave demonstrated their dis-agreement with the gover-nor’s and Legislature’s at-tempts to silence the voice of the public deserve no less.”

Meanwhile, teachersunions and other labor unionshave filed suit in federalcourt, claiming the budget re-pair bill violates the U.S. Con-

Taking into account an ex-pected drop of $509,000 instate aid to the college and astate-mandated freeze ontechnical college district oper-ational tax levies, the Nicolet

Area Technical College boardpassed the 2011-’12 budgetlast week.

The board was able to bal-ance the $34.4 million budgetwith a decrease of nearly$600,000 in operational ex-penses due to greater efficien-cies and staffing reductions at

the college due to retirements,according to Nicolet CollegePresident Elizabeth Burmas-ter.

She said retirements willaccount for the elimination of 9.8 full-time positions, withcore duties of these retireesbeing assigned to other staff,she added.

The state’s Snowmobile Ac-cident Reduction Team(SART) won’t patrol trails innorthern Wisconsin this win-ter, a Department of NaturalResources (DNR) snowmobilesafety expert told the VilasCounty Snowmobile TrailSafety Committee last week.

Warden Tim Lawhern, ad-

ministrator of the DNR’s Divi-sion of Enforcement and Sci-ence Conservation, said the$250,000 in funding for theteam won’t be renewed in thestate budget.

Committee Chairman SigHjemvick indicated they hadconcerns about a number of media reports on SART in theNorth, but emphasized safety

and compliance with snowmo-bile laws were wanted.

Not everyone agreed withthe law enforcement aimed atsnowmobilers.

Dale Mayo, Vilas Countysnowmobile program coordi-nator, said there have beenconcerns in the past about thelack of communication be-tween law enforcementgroups doing snowmobile pa-trols, especially during largecommunity snowmobiling

events.“Locals didn’t know SARTwas coming into the area andit appears neither did localDNR or local sheriff ’’s depart-ments,” Mayo said, which wasacknowledged by Lawhern.

“Communication was aproblem and we’ve addressedthat in-house,” said Lawhern.“We could have done a better

job.“We prefer it be done right

the first time because re-sources are precious and wewant our trails to be safe,”Lawhern said. “Anytime youdeal with large numbers of people, there are some whodon’t get it right.”

Hjemvick supported thepresence of law enforcementon area trails. A total of 17people died on snowmobileslast year in Wisconsin, includ-

ing one in Vilas County andone in Oneida County.

“We’re concerned aboutsafety and the image of VilasCounty,” said Hjemvick, refer-ring to negative publicity fromsnowmobile trail incidents.“We know the budget will af-fect enforcement and we don’t

cellence with fewer resources,”said Burmaster. “The constantchallenge for us is to deliverhigh-quality education andworkforce development whilelimiting tax increases.”

The Nicolet College 2011-’12 budget totals $34,435,620

and freezes the tax levy at$20,465 ,789, the sameamount that was levied lastyear. The 2011-’13 state bien-nial budget calls for a freezeon technical college opera-tional tax levies at the current2010-’11 level.

“Economic recovery in theregion isn’t coming as quicklyas hoped and that means wehave to make cuts just like ev-eryone else,” Burmaster said.“We are projected to sustainthe increased high enrollmentof the past several years assignificant numbers of stu-dents continue to turn to Nico-let for the job training thatwill benefit them personallyand also help bring prosperity

back to the North Woods econ-omy.”

The Nicolet College budgetalso was built on the assump-tion that equalized property

valuations will drop 3%. If property valuations go down,the mill rate must go up tomaintain the operationalproperty tax levy dollar fig-ure. Actual equalized valua-tions will not be known untillate September or early Octo-ber when the state releasesthe final figures.

Factoring in a 3% valuationdecrease, the Nicolet Collegebudget calls for an increase inthe total mill rate, from 1.111to 1.145. This will result in a$3.40 tax increase on a

$100,000 home.Burmaster said the mill

rate is made up of two compo-nents — operational costs anddebt service.

She said the operationalportion of the mill rate in theproposed budget is 1.01, one of the lowest of all 16 technicalcolleges in the state. The debtportion of the mill rate wouldbe 0.13.

A boat capsized whilepulling a tube rider inMedicine Lake in Three Lakeslast Friday, causing all of thecraft’s occupants to be trans-ported to Ministry Eagle RiverMemorial Hospital, accordingto the Oneida County Sheriff’sDepartment.

Authorities said the prelimi-nary investigation indicatedthat boat was pulling a tuberider when the operator of theboat turned sharply and theboat capsized, causing the fouroccupants from the boat to be-come ejected into the water.

Alcohol was not a factor inthe incident, said police. Aboater who was not involved

assisted the subjects out of thewater and to the shore. All ju-

venile occupants were wearinglife jackets at the time of theincident.

All of the occupants of theboat were transported to Min-istry Eagle River MemorialHospital for treatment afterthe incident, authorities said.

The Three Lakes Police De-partment, Wisconsin Depart-ment of Natural Resources,Three Lakes Fire Departmentand the Oneida County Ambu-lance Medic 10 responded tothe scene.

The crash remains under investigation by the Three LakesPolice Department.

Hjemvick suggested that,without SART funding, VilasCounty could possibly utilizethe SART trailer and “park itat highly visible locations.”

Renn Karl, president of the Vilas County Snowmobile Al-liance, said the primary pur-pose of SART was to enforcespeed and alcohol.

“When your focus is specif-ic, there was a great cry in thecommunity and we are a ser-

vice industry and the perva-sive feeling was that focus wasunfair,” said Karl, noting there

was a concern of having snow-mobilers stopped numeroustimes by different law enforce-ment agencies. “Zealous en-forcement was the issue.”

He was supported in thatfeeling by committee member

and Eagle River motel ownerHolly Tomlanovich.“The continuality of being

stopped was the issue and itwould happen several times,apparently without provoca-tion,” she said.

“That goes back to no com-munication and people werestopped often,” Lawhern ad-mitted. “That existed andshould not have existed. Butthere had to be probable causeto make the stop.”

Lawhern said he had tofield both sides of the SARTconcern, saying “some want usto come and some never wantto see us again.”

Hjemvick reiterated thereneeds to be more coordination

of patrols between the DNR,sheriff’s departments, U.S.Forest Service and tribal offi-cers, but committee memberStan Guif indicated communi-cation has already started.

“Enhanced communicationis an achievement where wecan sit here and discussthings,” he said.

Future focus

While there won’t be aSART program for this comingwinter, Lawhern said enforce-ment will continue by localwardens and they will be as-sisted by other area wardenswhen they can.

Hjemvick suggested invit-ing DNR Secretary CathyStepp to the North Woods toexperience area snowmobiletrails and attend a snowmo-bile alliance meeting and aSnowmobile Trail Safety Com-

mittee meeting. Lawhern sug-gested the committee extendthat invitation to her as she isa snowmobiler.

“The suggestion to have oursecretary come here should beat the top of your list and Ithink she would like that op-portunity to meet with you,”said Lawhern.

While some are againstextra enforcement activities,Tomlanovich said there is afine line.

“Lack of enforcement willnot be beneficial to our econo-my since our target market isfamilies,” she said, but the“fear of loss is very powerfulfor a business owner.”

Karl agreed, saying the

county must take a number of proactive measures to educateand promote safety.

Lawhern said that educa-tion trumps legislation everytime, but some legislation isalso needed for safety.

“Enforcement is importantand we’ll still have enforce-ment, but not with SART. Itsounds like you would like tohave more enforcement, butwe need to figure out a way toimprove safety and I wouldlike to help you with that,”said Lawhern.

Lawhern said the goal wasto have voluntary compliancewith the help of education.

Although no action wastaken by the Phelps TownBoard regarding all-terrain

vehicle (ATV) routes in its re-cent meeting,a Landover ATVClub representative present-ed a proposal from the club tothe board for approval.

Landover ATV club mem-ber Daniel Swiecichowski’sproposal stemmed from aNovember 2010 town boardmeeting in which he had re-quested the board approvetown roads for ATV and utili-ty task vehicle (UTV) use.

The board then requestedthat Swiecichowski returnwith a plan after sending aquestionnaire asking whethertaxpayers favored ATVs ontown roads. The results fromthose 391 returns included

224 in favor, 166 not in favorand one undecided.In early June, the Vilas

County Forestry and LandCommittee agreed that townofficials should decidewhether or not they want

ATV/UTV routes on theirtown roads.

The Landover ATV Clubclaims that the routes couldgenerate new businesses andtourism in the Phelps commu-nity. The proposal included aplan that would connect

ATV/UTV routes from Phelps

to Land O Lakes, Conover andForest County.

Swiecichowski’s plan was

presented as an outline withmaps, and included the fol-lowing roads in Phelps:

Highways A and E, StrongRoad, Deerskin Road, Co-opRoad, Kentuck Lake Road,Spectacle Lake Lane, NicoletShores Road, Eagle FarmRoad, Mail Route Road,Robinson Lake Road, SandLake Road, Winding TrailLane, Long Lake Dam Road,Enberg Lane, CoveyvilleRoad, Sugar Maple Road, Kel-loggs Road, South ShoreRoad, Blong Road and WestShore Road.

In order to use highways Aand E, the town of Phelpswould need approval from the

Vilas County Forestry, Recre-ation and Land Committee.The plan also outlined a

number of potential safetyregulations, including sig-nage, requiring operators tostay off the shoulder of theroad, ride in single file with-out passing, maintain a post-ed speed limit and adhere to a10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. Theoutline proposed that theroutes stay open from May 1through Oct. 31, except fordesignated winter ATVroutes.

The selection of a new VilasCounty highway commission-er was discussed last week ata meeting of the county High-way Committee, with VilasCounty Corporation CounselMartha Milanowski urgingthe panel to start the selectionprocess as soon as possible.

“Our ordinance adopted bythe county board last Septem-ber sets the term at four yearsand is invoked whenever thepresent highway commission-er announces or otherwisemakes it known that the posi-tion will become vacant,” Mi-lanowski told the committee,handing out copies of the ordi-nance of the election proce-dure. “My recommendation isto start by reviewing the posi-tion description.”

The current commissioner,Jim Fischer, announced hewill retire this summer.

Committee member CharlesRayala said state statuteshave to be considered whendrafting the job description,and was frustrated on how the

ordinance limits the role of theHighway Committee.“While the Highway Com-

mittee and Personnel Com-

mittee jointly look at the jobdescription, the PersonnelCommittee (of five) and threemembers of the HighwayCommittee review applica-tions and establish a list of allqualified applicants,” saidRayala. “It’s the PersonnelCommittee running the show.”

The two committees consist-ing of eight supervisors estab-lish a list of final applicantsand invite them for a secondand final interview.However, itis the Personnel Committeealone that conducts the finalinterview, although threemembers of the Highway Com-mittee are allowed to attend asnonvoting members.

The Highway Committeechairman then designates thetop finalist who will be nomi-nated for election by the fullcounty board. Other nomina-tions can be made for consider-ation, but they must often comefrom the list of final applicants.

Milanowski admitted theordinance could be modifiedby a resolution to the fullcounty board and it was sug-gested that be on the Julycommittee agenda.

Interim commissionerThe Personnel Committeehas not advertised for the posi-tion since an updated job de-

scription has not been complet-ed, according to Milanowski,but she urged the appointmentof an interim commissioner toserve until the new commis-sioner is elected.

Committee member AlBauman agreed they shoulddo that immediately since itwas on the agenda and hemade a motion to appointJarred Maney, current patrolsuperintendent, as interimcommissioner. The committeeapproved the appointment, ef-fective immediately.

Since the Personnel Com-mittee has not discussed a payincrease for Maney during theinterim position, HighwayCommittee Chairman JackHarrison was directed to signa memo informing the Person-nel Committee of the appoint-ment and requesting compen-sation for this additional re-sponsibility.

Highway projectsThree bids were opened for

sealcoating 19.5 miles of Highway B from LittlePortage Road to Highway M,while the condition of High-way K from Monheim Road to

Highway E was discussed.Bids received for sealcoat-ing were $268,812 from ScottConstruction of Lake Delton,

$298,680 from Pitlik & Wick,and $296,584 from Fahrner

Asphalt. The committeeawarded the project to ScottConstruction. Fahrner As-phalt will crack seal the proj-ect for $34,800 prior to thesealcoat.

With limited funds in theLocal Road Improvement Pro-gram, the committee decidedHighway K was more deterio-rated than Highway N andthe county’s resources shouldbe used on Highway K.

Maney indicated a 3-inchoverlay on Highway K wouldbe about $300,000, while acomplete reconstructionwidening the right of way andcutting down the hills wouldbe much more expensive.

“We could have a trafficstudy and probably lower thespeed limit on that area”Maney said,“But if we have topurchase right of way, itwould be a huge project.”

The committee also ap-proved the paint striping of Highway S, to include a fogline, to Fahrner Asphalt for$14,612.

Maney presented the com-mittee with a plan to re-stripe

all county highways on a four-year rotation basis, taking oneof four sections of roadway ayear.

Budget bill: unions look to recall election

stitution by stripping awaybasic rights to organize, bar-gain and associate for mostpublic employees in Wisconsin.

Walker’s bill exempted fire-fighters and police officers, aswell as some transit workers,

from the legislation. Theunions say, at least in the casesof the police and firefighters,that was political payback fortheir support of Walker in thegubernatorial election. Thelawsuit also says Walker’s col-lective-bargaining legislation,in effect, created two classes of public-sector workers.

The unions say that makesthe collective-bargaining law,which is scheduled to go into ef-fect June 29, unconstitutional.

Prior to the Republicanspassing the budget repair bill,

14 Democratic senators fled toIllinois to delay the vote,sayingWisconsin citizens neededmore time to review the legisla-tion. Thousands of peopleprotested the legislation at theCapitol building in Madison.

Mary Bell, the head of theWisconsin Education Associa-

tion Council, said her organi-zation would work in the com-

ing weeks to restore balancein government through elec-tion recalls.

“I don’t think we will reversethe kind of damage done topublic workers,” she said. “Butthe lawsuit may say what theWisconsin Supreme Court did-n’t say, and that this was done

as political payback.”Organized labor is putting

its effort, and money, into therecall of six Republican sena-tors in Wisconsin in the hopesof turning the Senate back tothe Democrats. However, Re-publicans have several recallelections of their own at-tempting to oust those Demo-cratic senators who left for

Illinois, including 12th Dis-trict Senator Jim Holperin.

The subjects of alcohol,candy and animal dung madefor a unique discussion at theEagle River City Council lastweek when council membersaddressed the fast-approachingFourth of July parade.

Police Chief Mark VanderBloomen, who said he observedexcessive use of alcoholic bev-

erages on city streets and side-walks during last year’s pa-rade, told council membersthere was a city ordinance thataddressed the problems.

“We have an ordinance thataddresses all three subjects,”he informed the council, pro-

viding a copy of the ordinancepertaining to drinking on pub-lic streets.

“With throwing candy andwith alcohol,we have a liabilityproblem; the city is exposing it-self if we don’t enforce it (theordinance),” he said.

The ordinance reads: “Noperson shall sell or serve, oroffer to sell or serve, or to con-sume, any alcohol beveragesupon any public street or way,

including sidewalks and alleys,within the city except at orga-nization-sponsored eventswhere permits are obtainedfrom the city, and except on thecity of Eagle River MunicipalGolf Course.”

Vander Bloomen said thecity of Tomahawk allows bever-ages on closed streets duringspecial events.

“Here, they come, see the pa-rade and are gone. If someoneapplies for a permit, the councilcan approve open intoxicants,”he said. “My personal opinionis, if this is done in the rightway, there would be no problemand could be beneficial fordowntown businesses.”

He said one possibilitymight be having a closed streetwith manned barricades atboth ends that would stop any-one from leaving the area witha drink. But Vander Bloomensaid he wouldn’t have enoughofficers to man barricades attwo locations, therefore someorganization would have to doit, especially prior to and dur-ing the parade.

While the Eagle River Busi-

ness Association permit appli-cation for the parade has beengranted, there was no requestfor allowing open intoxicantson the public streets. It wasnoted for the YMCA’s applica-tion for the Moonshine Run indowntown Eagle River July 9,the Y applied for a picnic li-cense for after the run.

Citizen Todd Achterbergsuggested rather than forcingorganizations to purchase aspecial insurance rider to cover

themselves, “just repeal the or-dinance for one day.” He alsosaid most drinking was beingdone on private property.

But Councilman Jerry Bur-kett noted where he was on theparade route last year, there“were a minimum of 1,000 per-sons drinking on the curb onpublic property.”

Councilwoman Kim Schaf-fer said most people take theirown alcohol to the parade, butsome people want to purchasea drink in a licensed tavernand be able to walk out with itto watch the parade from thesidewalk.

Councilwoman Carol Hen-dricks said the parade is a fam-ily event and questioned if the

city might be encouraging un-derage drinking.

The council decided to re-quest an opinion from the cityinsurance carrier if therewould be an additional cost fora rider if the city itself took outa permit for allowing drinkingon public property only for oneday. Council members notedthe city won’t sell any alcohol.

Candy and dungCouncil members empha-

sized that people dispensingcandy from floats must walk onthe street with the float andhand the candy to children. Pa-rade participants will be toldthey cannot throw candy fromthe float, to aid in the safety of children.

If a business does not com-ply, it could be prevented fromparticipation in the future, ac-cording to council members.

City Clerk/Treasurer DebbieBrown also wanted to give awarning about the self-pro-claimed “Leinie’s Guys” floathanding out cans of beer dur-ing the parade.

Vander Bloomen also indi-

cated any equestrian unitsneed to have a backup crewarmed with shovels to removeany horse droppings on thestreets.

Other businessIn other action, the City

Council:— approved hiring recently

retired city worker Rick Monte-zon for no more that 1,050hours per year at $17 per hour;

A broadband planning team,consisting of 18 members from

Vilas, Oneida, Forest, Langladeand Lincoln counties, hasdrafted a preliminary plan andis seeking public comments.

The team, appointed by thePublic Service Commission(PSC) of Wisconsin, has metregularly since last fall to cre-ate a plan to address gaps inbroadband availability and im-prove the adoption of availablebroadband services, accordingto Don Sidlowski, Three Lakestown chairman and committeemember.

“The draft plan is designedto enhance the regional eco-nomic development by expand-ing broadband access/adoptionamong second-home owners,”said Sidlowski.

The team seeks public review and input on the currentdraft plan, though cost figuresto implement the plan are not

available. The plan is avail-able online attinyurl.com/3z6orlj. For thosewho may not presently haveInternet access, the plan can bereviewed by accessing the In-ternet at local libraries andother public locations through-out the region.

Sidlowski said the broad-band investment plan is in-

tended to provide a path for-ward to expand broadbandavailability and adoption.

“The plan recognizes thatimproved quality of life in areacommunities and making iteasier to operate a business ortelecommute will benefit allresidents of the north-centralregion,” he said.

Sidlowski said it also willmake it more possible for peo-ple living in the region onlypart time to move to the regionpermanently.

“Even if they do not move tothe region, some may find itmore feasible to start localbusinesses or move part of anexisting business to north cen-tral Wisconsin,” he said.“Broadband opens new possi-bilities both for existing resi-dents and those others who canbring new business opportuni-ties and jobs to the region.”

According to the draft plan,some of the goals of expandingbroadband include:

— reducing the need to trav-el long distances for medicalcare;

— improving local access toeducation and training re-sources;

— enabling seniors to access

Social Security and Medicareinformation online;

— speeding response andimprove coordination of emer-gency services;

— supporting new businessformation, telecommuting and

job development;— facilitating marketing of

the region to visitors; or

— enabling government tomore efficiently deliver ser-

vices to local residents.

Assisting groupsSidlowski said many organi-

zations will be involved in theproject.

For example, Grow Northwill work through its regionalcommittee to contact appropri-ate officials in each of the fivecounties to determine the mostefficient approach to identifyand build a database of season-al homeowners.

“For example, county taxrecords are public records andavaiable on DVD for a smallfee. Residential property taxrecords may be sorted to identi-fy homeowners with mailingaddresses outside the county.Other options will be reviewedwith the most efficient chosen.

A regional database with con-

tact information for identifiedseasonal homeowners will beassembled,” said Sidlowski.

Local utilities such as Wis-consin Public Service will becontacted for assistance inidentifying owners of seasonal-ly vacant homes and facilitat-ing awareness of the ongoingresearch.

In addition, area collegesand universities will be ap-proached regarding possibleassistance in organizing thedatabase.

The planning effort is part of the PSC’s larger LinkWisconsininitiative, which includes map-ping of broadband availabilityunder a federal stimulus grant.Plans for other regions of thestate will be available in thenear future, and can be re-

viewed at tinyurl.com/3t6l7hr.People can comment on the

draft plan on the website orthey may direct their com-ments to Jeff Richter at thePSC, via e-mail to

[email protected] or via phone at (608) 267-9624.

Questions on the draft plancan be addressed to Sidlowski

via phone at (715) 522-0009, orto team leader Bart Lamers at(715) 369-1119.

NEWS Eagle River Light and Water Utility Water Quality Report

We are pleased to present this year’s Annual Water Quality Report. This report is in-tended to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day.Our job is to provide a safe and dependable supply of drinking water, and we want youto understand our ongoing efforts to improve the quality and protection of the water re-sources we provide.

Drinking water for the City of Eagle River comes from three ground source wells withan average depth of 102 feet. The constituents of your drinking water are routinely mon-itored in accordance with federal and state laws. The table below shows results of ourwater quality monitoring for the period of January 1st through December 31st, 2010. Bac-teriological samples are taken twice per month; all others are taken once per year.

Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) shown in the table are set at very stringent lev-els. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents,a person would have to drink two liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetimeto have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. We are proud toprovide drinking water that meets or exceeds federal and state standards, and throughour monitoring and compliance efforts, will continue our commitment to provide high qual-ity, SAFE drinking water.

We hope that you find this information useful, and do not hesitate to contact us with anyconcerns you may have about your drinking water. If you have any questions about thisreport or your water utility, please contact the Eagle River Light and Water Utility, P.O.Box 1269, 525 E. Maple St., Eagle River, WI 54521 or call (715) 479-8121.

Water System InformationIf you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please con-tact Daryl Rutkowski at (715) 479-6739.

Health InformationDrinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at leastsmall amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessar-ily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and po-tential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’ssafe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the gener-al population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoingchemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS orother immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk frominfections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health careproviders. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection bycryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the EnvironmentalProtection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Source(s) of Water

To obtain a summary of the source water assessment, please contact Daryl Rutkowski at

(715) 479-6739.

Educational InformationThe 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 theland 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 animalsor from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewagetreatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.

• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring orresult from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oiland gas production, mining or farming.

• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agricul-ture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.

• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals,which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can alsocome from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.

•. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil andgas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulati ons that limit theamount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regula-tions establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same pro-tection for public health.

Number of Contaminants Required to be TestedThis table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the lastfive years. The CCR may contain up to five years’ worth of water quality results. If a watersystem tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the most recent year areshown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR arefrom the past five years.

Additional Health InformationWhile your drinking water meets USEPA’s standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of ar-senic. USEPA’s standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effectsagainst the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. USEPAconti nues to research the health

effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high con-centrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

Despite uncertain-lookingweather conditions, theeighth annual Three LakesCar Show drew nearly 2,000people to the grounds of Northwoods Petroleum Muse-um Saturday.

Show coordinator Ed Jacob-sen said public turnout for theevent was larger than lastyear, as attendees saw morethan 100 vehicle exhibits.

“In spite of the threateningweather, we had a bigger andbetter show than last year,”said show coordinator Ed Ja-cobsen. “There were 110 vehi-cles exhibited and we esti-mate that almost 2,000 peopleattended the show.”

The oldest car on displaywas a 1914 Model T Fordowned by George Scholz of Sugar Camp.The car has beenin the Scholz family since itsfactory minting in 1914.

The newest car was a 2011Chevy Camaro.

The best of show award wasgiven to Terry Flannery of Goodman for his 1937 loggingtruck.

“The show was a success,”

said Jacobsen. “I’m glad thatthe Pink Ribbon Riders andthe Northern Lights Snowmo-

bile Clubs were able to benefitfrom the food and drink sales.The petroleum museum is

pleased to sponsor such a funevent and help out the com-munity at the same time.”

Rice Lake Road in the townof Three Lakes remains closedfor safety reasons related toweather conditions experi-enced in April and May, ac-cording to Three Lakes TownShop foreman Tim Rutzen.

The road was originallyclosed in March at the end of the ice fishing season with alarge steel gate marking theclosed portion. Vehicles mayaccess the road up to the gate.

Late-season accumulationsof heavy, wet snow as late asMay 3, followed by extensive

rainfalls in May, have resultedin water levels in the ThunderLake State Wildlife Area thatare at all-time record levels,said Rutzen.

“Complicating matters is theextensive beaver population in

the marsh,”said Rutzen.“Evenafter removing dams and clear-ing culverts,water continues torun over segments of the road.The gale-force winds experi-enced for two days in May com-pletely washed out the boatramp area at the north end of Thunder Lake.”

Rice Lake Road is a sand-gravel composite and despiteextensive restoration gradingby town crew employees toraise the level of the roadabove the water table, theroad so far has been unable to

sufficiently dry and firm upenough to allow for vehicletraffic. Officials stated thateven vehicles with four-wheeldrive would quickly becomemired in the soft, wet sand.

Town officials said they’re

aware that Rice Lake Roadserves as a major entry pointto the Thunder Lake StateWildlife Area at all times of the year, especially in thesummer for bird-watchingand berry gathering.

“But the safety of thosetraveling on the road musttake precedence over publicaccess during a year thatbrings extraordinary condi-tions,” said Rutzen.

“Should sightseers, wildlifeobservers or berry pickers getinto any kind of difficulty far

into the marsh, and an emer-gency vehicle is unable to re-spond, this creates a dangerous

situation that puts both the re-sponders and public at risk.”

There is no shoulder on theroad, and vehicles that slideoff the road could potentiallyend up in one of the deep irri-gation ditches that run thelength of the road.

The town shop provided noestimate for when the roadmay be opened.

In the meantime, foot andbicycle travel are permitted,although officials noted thatthe soft sand makes bikingdifficult, and those entering

with bikes should be preparedto dismount and walk toughstretches.

Rice Lake Road remains closed to vehicular traffic

Twelve Northland Pines

staff members, with a com-bined 338 years in the schooldistrict, will retire at the end of the 2010-’11 school year.

Retiring teachers includeDiane Bugni, Karen Thyne,Katherine Dobb, David “Skip”Niedfeldt, Sherry Stecker,Phyllis Case, Mary Beth De-Faut and Principal Duane Frey.

Also retiring are secretaryLois Steiner, school psycholo-gist Keith Lodholz and house-keeper Carolynn Gleisner.

The following is a biographi-cal sketch and comments fromeach retiree in order of yearsserved in the district:

Lois SteinerLois Steiner has served as

secretary for 46 years, since herhiring in 1965 under then-Principal Marshall Ehle. She isthe only secretary the EagleRiver Elementary School hashad.

Before taking the job as sec-retary, Steiner worked for a fi-nance company in Marshfield.

Over the years, Steiner saidshe has seen a number of changes in the district.

“We have had a lot of changes through the years,”she said. “To name a few — con-solidating into one district andbringing St. Germain, Sayner,Land O’ Lakes, Conover andEagle River together as theNorthland Pines School Dis-trict. Kindergarten went from

half-time to all-day classes.Moving into a new buildingwas a very big and excitingchange and,of course, technolo-gy.”

Steiner said she is lookingforward to gardening in her re-tirement. She also plans to dosome volunteer work.

“I will miss seeing all theregular kids in the fall andmeeting all the new families,”said Steiner. “Northland Pinesis a great school district. Wehave a caring and hardworkingstaff. Our four children gradu-ated from Northland Pines andwent on to college — all gradu-ating with honors.”

Steiner has two grandchil-dren now in college.

“I think this has somethingto say about our small-townschool district,” she said. “Let’skeep it that way.”

Karen ThyneKaren Thyne has taught in

the Northland Pines SchoolDistrict for 38 years and mostrecently taught third grade.

Thyne’s first position wasteaching third grade in theNew Berlin School District. Shesaid her mother influenced herdecision to begin teaching.

“My mother guided me intothe teaching field, and thatturned out to be the wisest andmost appropriate choice,” saidThyne.

The retiring teacher said thebiggest changes she’s seen overthe years were in technologyand family structure.

“Family structure haschanged, putting more respon-sibilities on children and addi-tional stress on family mem-bers,” said Thyne. “In additionto teaching academic skills, so-cial and life skills have become

vital inclusions in daily in-struction.”

For retirement, Thyne saidtaking care of her family will bethe foremost object of her at-tention. But she also hopes totravel.

“Hopefully, I will resumetraveling to my home state of Hawaii, and perhaps explore

distant places of interest,” shesaid. “Time permitting, volun-teering to help animals andpeople also is included in fu-ture plans.”

Thyne plans to volunteer inan educational capacity.

“My plans are to continue to volunteer and coordinate theEarth Base Recycling Center &Club’s weekly sessions, workwith art teachers on the FirePrevention Poster Contest andcoordinate the Delta KappaGamma Literary Competitionfor the Northland Pines SchoolDistrict.”

Thyne added a message toparents and children in theEagle River area who she hasworked with over the years.

“I give you my gratitude and

appreciation for providingmemories that will be cher-ished forever,” she said.“The 36years flew by all too quickly.Until we meet again, aloha.”

Mayme HoffmanMayme Hoffman is a kinder-

garten teacher who has been inthe Northland Pines SchoolDistrict for 37 years.

Prior to moving to the NorthWoods, Hoffman taught pre-school for two years in BrownDeer and Sheboygan.

Hoffman said she choseearly childhood education be-cause of her love for workingwith children

During her teaching career,Hoffman has been a part of a

number of changes, includingteaching locations, districtchanges and technological ad-

vancements.“I have taught in a town

hall, a church, a communitycenter, a school basement and,for the past several years, abeautiful school in St. Ger-main,” said Hoffman. “I alsowent from half-day to all-daykindergarten. The changes intechnology have been amaz-ing.”

Hoffman said she plans toread, relax and spend moretime with friends and family inher retirement.

“I will miss all the people Ihave worked with throughout

the years,” she said.

Katherine DobbeKatherine Dobbe has

worked in the Northland PinesSchool District for 33 years,teaching first, second and thirdgrades and middle school sci-ence.

Before her work at Pines,Dobbe worked in the Adams-Friendship district for one year.

She said she chose the fieldof teaching because she enjoyswatching the learning process.

“The most enjoyable part iswhen their eyes light up andyou can see something clickedand they got it,” she said.“Theyfeel so proud of themselves andare eager to share with others.”

The biggest change the retir-ing teacher has seen over theyears is technological advance-ment.

“When I first started, wedidn’t have any computers ortelephones in the classroom”she said. “Computers weretaught by a special teachertwice a week. Today, we arecommunicating with parentsonline, doing attendance andgrades online, and the studentsare using the Internet to en-hance their learning.”

As her first move as a re-tiree, Dobbe said she and her

husband plan a trip to Alaskain June.

“My husband and I alsowant to go camping with fami-ly and friends as much as pos-

sible,” she said. “Maybe now Iwill have time to improve mygolf game.”

Dobbe added that she wouldmiss all of the people she’s metover her years in the district.

“I have had the privilege of working with some amazingteachers over my 33 years atNorthland Pines, and I willmiss them,” she said. “I wouldlike to thank all the people whohave helped me. I will probablysubstitute teach for a while, soI will continue working withthe students.”

Keith LodholzKeith Lodholz has been a

school psychologist in theN o r t h l a n d

Pines SchoolDistrict for 33years.

In retire-ment, Lodholzsaid he plansto spend moretime outdooorsand with hisfamily.

“I’m going to be spendingmore time pursuing outdoor ac-tivities and spending moretime with children and grand-children,”he said.

Lodholz said he’s consider-ing part-time employment as aschool psychologist or as a ther-apist or counselor in an outpa-tient setting.

“I will miss my colleaguesand I will miss supporting stu-dents and families,” said Lod-holz.

David ‘Skip’ NiedfeldtSkip Niedfeldt has spent his

entire 32-year teaching careerat the Northland Pines SchoolDistrict. He taught elementaryand middle school art for 27years and high school art forfive years.

Niedfeldt said the decisionto teach came from an inspira-tional college class.

“A single ceramics coursechanged my major from biologyto art,” he said. “And, followingthe encouragement of my class-mates, I turned to education.”

Niedfeldt said the facilitiesfor art in the district have im-proved vastly over the years.

“Art on a cart, in the base-ment or cafeteria and travelingbetween five buildings were myfirst experiences teaching first-through eighth-grade art,” saidNiedfeldt. “Today, we have out-standing art room facilitieswith kilns, sinks and more staff providing quality art educa-tion.”

Although technology has advanced, Niedfeldt said he’s keptthe past alive in the classroom.

“Computers,printers, digital

cameras and iPods have re-placed typewriters, film cam-eras and record albums,” hesaid.“However, in the art room,we still listen to albums, devel-

op film negatives for prints, usepencils to draw, brushes topaint and potter’s wheels forclay.”

Coaching, crafting and trav-eling topped the agenda forNiedfeldt’s retirement plans.

“I’ll continue to stay activeplaying and coaching volley-ball,” he said. “I also plan togolf, hunt and fish. Pottery andwoodworking will be my hob-bies.My wife,Jan, and I will betraveling to Sussex for fun andgames with the grandchildrenand, of course, working on thenever-ending to-do list.”

Sherry SteckerSherry Stecker has been the

Northland Pines High School

Spanish teacher for 26 years.Stecker worked in a reading

center at Hopkins StreetSchool for Milwaukee PublicSchools for several years beforemoving to St. Germain andgaining employment at North-land Pines.

The drive to teach has beenwith Stecker since she was ayoung child, she said.

“From a young age, I alwayswanted to be a teacher,” saidStecker.“Are there any childrenwho don’t play school? I used touse a typewriter, carbon paperand Childcraft books to makeup assignments.”

Stecker said that, whileteachers have struggled to keep

up with changing technology,the advancements have al-lowed instructors to work moreefficiently.

“I marvel at how much timetechnology has saved in manydifferent areas,” said Stecker.“These changes have, however,caused many changes in teach-ing techniques that all teachershave needed to keep up with.”

The retiring Spanish teach-er said she won’t have a prob-lem keeping busy in her freetime.

“My ‘bucket list’ includesstarting genealogy research,completing scrapbooks for mychildren, playing golf and ten-nis and traveling a bit duringsome winter months,” said

Stecker. “I also want to buildmy own small greenhouse inorder to grow some things, be-come more political and do vol-unteer work in several differ-ent areas.”

Stecker said she’s enjoyedher years teaching for the dis-trict, as well as being a part of a group of dedicated teachers.

“There are many colleagueswho are among the best in theteaching profession,” she said.

“I started working for CESAin 1971 and was hired by

Northland Pines in 1987. I justcompleted my 40th year in edu-cation,” said Bugni.

Bugni said the decision toteach came easy, and addedthat teaching speech pathologyin particular has been worth-while.

“I have always had a passionfor working with children,” shesaid. “Working as a speechpathologist, I have been able towork on the students’ commu-nication skills. This has beenboth challenging and reward-ing.”

Bugni said she has seen agreat many changes during her40 years as an instructor.

“We have seen changes in fa-cilities, materials, special-edu-

cation rules and regulations aswell as technology,” he said.“We’ve come a long way andmost of the changes have cer-tainly been for the better,which is a good thing.”

For retirement, Bugni saidshe plans to do volunteer work,travel and start some house-hold projects.

“I feel very fortunate to haveworked with such a wonderfulstaff and I will certainly missthe kids,” said Bugni.

ing experience.Case worked for a smallcountry school in Richfield foreight years and for HartfordHigh School for one year. Shealso worked in Illinois for theDistrict of Lake County for twoyears.

“I chose teaching because of my love for children,” saidCase. “I chose special educationbecause those wonderful chil-dren tugged at my heart and I

just needed to help them.Theywill always be a very specialpart of me.”

Case said the expansion of the special needs program wasthe biggest change she experi-enced.

“I have experienced many

pendulum swings in the educa-tion field,” she said. “I beganteaching in a self-containedclassroom of 13 students in abasement to full inclusion of students with special needs.”

CLASSICS ON THE CHAIN — The Wild Eagle Lodge hosted itsannual boat show on its docks last weekend, with about 30 classic

wooden boats on display. The proceeds from the event went tospecial athletes. --Staff Photo By GARY RIDDERBUSCH

The St. Germain TownBoard passed a motion thatthe town crew proceed withgraveling the new extensionof the bike and hike trail toOld Highway 70 in its lastmeeting.

There was a discussion con-cerning finances and project-ed trail routes for the newstretch of the trail, known asPhase II by the Bike and HikeTrail Committee.

The committee received aquote of $39,500 to extend thebike and hike trail to OldHighway 70. However, theBike and Hike Trail Commit-tee does have a grant of about$17,500 for this purpose.

John Vojta was concernedthat the town was not able to

shoulder the expenses for theextension of the trail at thistime, but committee Chair-man Mark Hiller disagreed.

“There’s no doubt we’reright on budget, and we’re ac-tually under budget on thisproject.”

It was suggested that thetown crew do some of the prepwork so that costs can be cutfor labor and materials.

Also, the downtown sectionof the trail as well as the sec-tion near the intersection of South Bay Road and Highway70 is to be blacktopped June22.

The town board also passeda motion to approve theaquatic invasive species sign

on Highway 155.

There was a discussion onwhether or not it was a goodidea to erect this sign because,if the town allowed one sign, itmay receive many more re-quests from other groups alsowanting a sign in the town of St. Germain.

However, Chairman WaltCamp stated that the townhas control over who puts asign up and how many signsare allowed.

There also was a discussionregarding adding more signsthat draw attention to thehazards of aquatic invasivespecies on highways C and 70.

Vilas County Sheriff FrankTomlanovich was present at themeeting and board membersand citizens voiced concernsand questions, mostly regard-ing the duties of the new townconstable,Jack Santerelli.

Tomlanovich said that it is

up to the town to specify theconstable’s duties. The sheriff said the constable could maketraffic stops, but it was up tothe town how much liabilitythe town was comfortablewith incurring.

The county also may re-quest the services of the con-stable, in which case the con-stable would be covered underthe mutual aid agreementwith Vilas County.

Camp stated that, exceptfor the case of a life-and-deathsituation, the constableshould not make traffic stops.

In other action, the board:— motioned to chip seal a

number of roads that require it;— tabled the issue of an

electrical light timer for the

memorial until a later meet-ing due to electrical expenses;

— motioned to make themain door of the communitycenter building handicap ac-cessible for a cost of $1,950plus the electrical, which willbe around $130 to $150;

— motioned to have in-mates from McNaughtonbrush an area along highwaysC and 70 by the golf course,with Steve Spears from thegolf course overseeing thebrushing. Whitetail Inn willreimburse the town for thisexpense;

— motioned to purchase aportable toilet facility for $499plus $100 shipping for Van-dervort Park;

— tabled the issue of handdriers versus paper towels inthe St. Germain pavilionbathroom until more informa-tion can be gathered;

— motioned to abstainfrom Vilas County’s beavercontrol program; and

— approved a list of beer,liquor, cigarette and opera-tor’s licenses for 2011-’12.

Committee reportsFire Chief Tim Clark re-

ported that the fire depart-ment received 29 calls lastmonth.

There are a number of re-curring problems with the newfire engine. The warranty hasmost likely expired on this ve-hicle,but Vojta suggested com-piling a list of the mainte-nance issues which have comeup thus far, so the fire depart-ment can have a trail of the

problems and expenses in-

volved with the truck.For the Public Works/

Parks and Recreation Com-mittee, Camp reported thatthe low spots in the old land-fill site have been filled inwith dirt from the cemetery.

Eagle Waste began to oper-ate the transfer site June 15.Camp plans to write a letterto the fire department auxil-iary notifying the departmentthat a dumpster will be avail-able for cardboard at the fleamarket.

Camp noted that the grassthat had been planted to fill inthe damage that winter haddone to the golf course greenswas starting to grow. Also,business has been slower atthe golf course due to theweather.

Bill Bates brought to theboard’s attention that thetown should have a cemetery

ordinance, without which thetown could incur excess re-sponsibility for grave plots.

Bates noted that the LakesCommittee discussed theaquatic invasive species signs.The Department of NaturalResources reported that BigSt. Germain Lake has roughlyfour walleyes per acre.

Camp noted that since St.Germain does not have a li-brary, its citizens use of PlumLake Public Library and Wal-ter Olson Memorial Librarymay force the town to con-tribute a larger amount of money to these libraries.

The next town board meet-ing will take place July 11 at 5p.m. at the St. Germain Com-

munity Center.

The Vilas County News-Re- view has named Justin Knitt,a senior studio arts major anda graphic design minor atUW-Green Bay, as the sum-mer intern working on the Va-cation Week publication.

Knitt was born and raisedin Sheboygan and graduatedfrom Kiel High School. Hisparents presently reside inKiel.

The North Woods is noth-ing new to Knitt. His fatherwas raised in St. Germain,and his aunt and uncle ownhardware stores in St. Ger-main and Boulder Junction.His grandparents also call theNorth Woods home in St. Ger-main and Eagle River.

What started as a love of drawing in high school ledKnitt to pursing an art degreeat UW-Green Bay.His original

emphasis was drawing, but hequickly shifted to photogra-phy when he realized the pos-sibilities with a camera.

During his four years incollege, Knitt has appliedhimself to his studies andmany art endeavors. He wonfirst place in the Manito ArtShow and the Founders Award in the Presque Isle ArtShow last summer, as well asreceiving honorable mentionfor his senior art exhibition inphotography last May.

His interest in photographyled him to the News-Reviewinternship, where he is gain-ing experience in both thenewsroom and in the field.

“I’m still not 100% what I

want to be when I grow up, soexploring this side of journal-ism under Editor Gary Rid-derbusch and Publisher KurtKrueger has really shown mewhat options are out there,”said Knitt, who plans to grad-

uate in December and beginsearching for employment inthe photography, graphics orbusiness fields.

In his free time, Knitt is anoutdoorsman, enjoying hunt-ing, snowmobiling, ice fishingand waterskiing.

“Being outside, on the lake,lets all the stress of the day just roll away,” he said. “Iwanted to spend one moresummer up North before I hadto go out and find a job, andhow better to do it than gain-ing on-the-job knowledge onthe way,” said Knitt.

Ridderbusch said Knitt isgaining valuable photographyand writing experience work-ing on both Vacation Weekand the News-Review, cover-ing summer events.

“As Justin continues to getmore acclimated to his tempo-

rary role at the Vilas CountyNews-Review, he continues toimprove and produce qualityarticles and photographs forbusinesses marketing theirproduct through VacationWeek,” said Ridderbusch.

The winners of the Vilas County Lakes Association Blue Heron

Shoreline Stewardship Awards include, from left, Tom and Mary

Reardon, Helen and John Rossmiller and John Annin. Missing from

The Vilas County Lakes As-sociation (VCLA) has an-nounced its 2010 Blue HeronShoreline Stewardship Awardwinners.

Award recipients includedJohn and Marilyn Annin,nominated by the Black OakLake Association in Land O’Lakes; Tom and Mary Rear-

don, nominated by the AnvilLake Association, town of Washington; and John andHelen Rossmiller on Pardee

Lake in Winchester, nominat-ed by Carolyn Scholl, VilasCounty conservationist.

The awards were presentedat VCLA’s Celebrating LakesDay Conference June 17 atMoon Beach Camp in St. Ger-main.

In addition to the 2010 BlueHeron Awards,a special recog-

nition plaque was presented toSara Johnson, director of North Lakeland DiscoveryCenter on Statehouse Lake in

Manitowish Waters and toGlenn Svetnicka, director of Moon Beach Camp on MoonLake in St. Germain.

Due to their unique missionand physical facilities, thesenature education and confer-ence centers do not align wellwith Blue Heron residentialcriteria. Nevertheless, Moon

Beach Camp has restoredmore than 1,200 feet of shore-line and used rain barrels andrain gardens to effectively re-duce erosion and surfacerunoff into Moon Lake. Theyhave done this with the help of state and local grant fundsand countless volunteerhours.

Discovery Center restoredseveral hundred feet of shore-line buffer damaged in the Au-gust 2005 tornado. The VilasCounty Land and Water Con-servation Department de-signed this restoration to at-tract a variety of bird species.Brent Hanson of Hanson’sGarden Village inRhinelander designed a large

rain garden outside DiscoveryCenter’s remodeled kitchenand conference building.

The rain garden absorbswater from the large roof of this building and from thesurrounding walks, patio andlawn. As a result, the lake isprotected from pollution, andthe native flowers in the raingarden add considerable beau-ty. These restorations werepartially funded with a grantfrom Vilas County Land andWater Conservation Depart-ment and from Brent Hanson.

Two teams evaluated theBlue Heron Award winners.One team consisting of SandyGillum, Rollie Alger, ClydeOwens, Mary Platner and

Carolyn Scholl, visited the Annin and Reardon proper-ties.

A second team,consisting of Susan Knight, GretchenWatkins, Sue and Alan Drum, visited the Rossmiller proper-ty. The three winners scoredhigh marks in all five sectionsof criteria: driveway and park-ing area; structures and septicsystem; yard and recreationarea (outside 35-foot buffer);

shoreline area (from water to35 feet inland); and entire lotarea.

Drum, VCLA board mem-ber, said the Blue Heron Award emphasizes the need toreduce human impact on lakeecosystems.

“Many people purchaselake lots because they enjoythe peace and beauty of na-ture,” she said. “By limitingtheir footprint, award winnersspotlight the benefits of a nat-ural shoreland buffer extend-ing 35 to 50 feet inland fromthe water. Native trees, shrubsand flowers require littlemaintenance and no fertilizer.They also provide an area thateffectively traps debris and

pollutants in surface waterrunoff. The buffer area is anecessary habitat for many in-teresting animals like frogs,turtles, ducks,blue herons andotters.”

Drum said the VCLA ex-pects the Blue Heron Awardwinners to serve as examplesfor lakeshore owners whowish to preserve the ecology of their lakes.

“If you feel that your lakelot could benefit from shore-land restoration, contact the Vilas County Land and WaterConservation Department at vilaslandandwater.org,” saidDrum.“Talk to Quita Sheehanor Carolyn Scholl, who cancreate a landscape plan and

provide information on avail-able grants to help with thecost.”

OUTDOORSWEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2011 VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS 11A

STATE wildlife biologists have just confirmed what many of usgrouse hunters suspected a yearago, that Wisconsin’s ruffed grousemay still be headed toward thepeak of their population cycle.

The Department of Natural Re-sources (DNR) reported a year agothat grouse populations reachedtheir cyclic peak in 2009, and werelikely on the downswing. Theybased that on a 6% drop in springdrumming counts in 2010.

My July 21 column of last sum-mer, titled “Don’t write off thegrouse peak just yet,” explained ingreat detail why it was entirelytoo early for biologists to saygrouse numbers were on thedownswing.

And guess what? Last week, theDNR issued a press release sayingthat, with a 38% increase in

spring drumming activity thisyear, it appears the grouse popula-tion is on the rise once again.

“This is surprising,” wrote ScottWalter, an upland wildlife ecolo-gist for the DNR. You have to givehim credit for being honest, eventhough they were wrong to jumpto conclusions about that tinydrumming downswing last spring.

Once again, department biolo-gists don’t have their finger on thepulse of what’s going on in thefield. If they did, they would haverealized that last year’s earlyspring could have messed with theaccuracy of their drummingcounts. And had they spent anytime afield last fall, they shouldhave known that the 2010 brood-rearing season was much better

than the rainy, cold spring of 2009.It’s a little disappointing that

professionals who are paid to knowthese things actually know lessthan hunters in the field. But then,some deer hunters have been echo-ing that same theme for years.Andlike always, the truth is probablysomewhere in the middle.

Grouse drumming counts in2011 were actually up 43% in the

northern region, which is wheremy attention is focused. That enor-mous increase is due mostly tonew recruitment last spring, whichcan be attributed to a warm June.

Here’s what I wrote lastJuly: “My guess, then, is thatbrood production will be wayahead of last year and that2010 could emerge as the nextpeak year in the grouse popu-lation cycle.”

The only thing that wouldchange that, I reasoned, is if we

had a banner nesting season in2011 to go along with an increasein the adult population. Such anevent could mean even higherdrumming counts in 2012.

So how’s it looking? Well, rightnow, as this year’s grouse eggs arehatching and some chicks are al-ready working their way fromdown to feathers, it is so far, sogood.The past week, we’ve had awarm stretch with little rain.

The experts say that grousenumbers fluctuate “for reasons notwell understood.” I disagree. Youcan track the ups and downs of the grouse cycle based on broodproduction, and nothing affectsthat production more than Juneweather.

A long string of cold, rainy days

is a grouse chick killer. In the firstthree weeks of life, young grouseare covered with down prior to thegrowth of feathers.The down does-n’t shed water, which makes thechicks vulnerable to death bypneumonia and exposure duringextended periods of cold, dampweather.

Though we had a much-needed8 inches of rainfall in June 2010,

that rain was intermittent andcame without the lingering coldfronts we saw in 2009. Big groupsof turkey poults were another rea-son for optimism, for they alsoneed warm weather to avoid sick-ness and to see production of in-sects — a high-protein staple inthose early weeks of life.

For the rest of June, the key isavoiding four or more straightdays of cold, rainy weather. Younggrouse need a chance to dry outand warm up between rains. Oncethey get those oily feathers, expo-sure becomes less of a concern.

I wrote this grouse column notto boast about being right onsomething — however unusual —but because the 2011 drummingcounts are great news for ruffedgrouse hunters.

The news in general these days

is depressing enough without get-ting false indications of a popula-tion downswing for our favoritebird — the fastest, most elusiveupland game bird in Wisconsin’sforests.

It’s probably too early to be get-ting overly excited about a hunt-ing season that’s still threemonths away. But I can’t help it.Gracie, our youngest black Lab, isready for a second season that isholding great promise.

Her first season was nothingshort of phenomenal, on bothgrouse and pheasants. She huntslike a male and obeys like a fe-male, and it doesn’t get much bet-ter than that. She’s a blessing, likeeverything else in life. That’s whywe named her Grace.

Keep in mind that it’s never tooearly to start conditioning dogs forthe fall hunting seasons. In fact,most trainers have already startedto get their dogs in shape. Trips tothe lake work well in the heat of summer.

With this upbeat grouse re-port, you have more reasonthan ever to start preparing.It’s going to be a great fall.

Preliminary estimates showthat Wisconsin hunters regis-tered 40,103 turkeys during

the 2011 spring turkey season,according to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

A total of 210,059 permitswere issued for the springhunt, according to DNR li-censing officials.

Zone 1 produced the highestoverall turkey harvest at12,253 birds, followed by Zone3 with 9,848 turkeys. The besthunter success appears to havebeen in Zone 2, with a prelimi-nary success rate of 25%, fol-lowed by Zones 1, 3, 4, and 5,all at 18% success. Overall, thestatewide success rate was19% and, as in past years, suc-cess rates were higher in theearlier time periods.

The 2011 spring registra-tion total shows a 16% de-crease from the 2010 harvestof 47,722 birds.

“Until very recently,turkeys in Wisconsin experi-enced weather conditions con-ducive to population growth,”said Scott Walter, uplandwildlife ecologist for the DNR.“There was a long string of mild winters combined withthe warm, dry spring weatherfavorable for breeding. How-ever, weather over the last fewyears has been challenging forwild turkeys across the state.”

Wisconsin does not attemptto estimate statewide wildturkey populations, but sever-al long, snow-filled and cold

winters (2007-’10) and recentwet (2008) or cold (2009, 2011)springs have provided the per-fect recipe to nudge turkeynumbers downward, accordingto wildlife biologists. Snow,wind and rain during portionsof the first three 2011 spring-time periods also may have re-duced hunter effort and suc-cess, further contributing tothe drop in total harvest.

National Wild Turkey Fed-eration (NWTF) staff and vol-unteers have also fielded sev-eral questions regarding theimpacts of an extended spring

and heavy, late snowfalls onthe birds, according to NWTFregional biologist Rick Horton.

“While we don’t discountthe possibility of some localwild turkey winter mortality,we feel that the perceptionthat there were fewer birdswas largely because the latespring delayed winter flockdispersal and breeding activi-ty,” said Horton.

Regional similaritiesOther Midwestern states

have experienced similar de-clines in the 2011 springturkey harvest. Harvests inMinnesota, Iowa, Illinois, In-diana, Ohio, Missouri and

South Dakota were all downbetween 9% and 25% as com-pared to 2010 levels.

Turkey biologists across theregion agree that a combinationof hard winters and, in particu-lar,cool/wet springs have affect-ed turkey behavior and num-bers. In addition, poor condi-tions during the spring huntmay have reduced hunter effortand success in some areas.

“The fact that harvests de-clined across such a broad re-gion this spring certainly sug-gests that weather is the like-ly culprit,” said Walter.

Wildlife officials said turkeyrestoration is one of the great-est wildlife management suc-

cess stories in Wisconsin. Op-portunities for turkey huntingand viewing abound in Wiscon-

sin’s mix of woodlands andfarmlands. The adaptability of turkeys has been a pleasantsurprise, resulting in far morebirds and hunting opportuni-ties than thought possibleeven 15 years ago.

2011 fall seasonSome hunters have ex-

pressed concern that the up-coming fall turkey season mayreduce turkey numbers andimpact their chance of bag-ging a turkey next spring. Butfall permit numbers are set atconservative levels in consid-eration of impacts on futurehunts, said wildlife managers.

While the fall season allowsfor the harvest of hens, fewhens are harvested during thefall hunt in Wisconsin. For ex-ample, only 4,191 hens wereharvested statewide duringthe 2010 fall season.

“Harvesting fewer than5,000 hens in the entire stateis highly unlikely to have anegative effect on the popula-tion as a whole,” said Walter.

The 2011 Fall Turkey and2012 Spring Turkey Regula-tions are included in the 2011Small Game Regulationspamphlet, available on theHunting Regulations page of the DNR website and in hardcopy at license vendors. Moreinformation is available onthe wild turkey page of the

DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.The fall 2011 wild turkeyseason will run from Sept. 17through Nov. 17, with an ex-tended season for Zones 1-5likely, pending final approvalby the Legislature. If ap-proved, the extended seasonwould run from Nov. 28through Dec. 31 for Zones 1-5only. Hunters should checkthe DNR wild turkey Webpage for updates.

The deadline for applying fora fall permit through the pref-erence drawing process is Aug.1.

While the lake levels are much better, the watertemperature is quite low for this time of year due tothe recent cold weather.

This means that the weed growth is behind for thistime of year. All in all, it is making the conditions onthe lakes still seem like May.

Walleye fishing is good at this point, the mayflyhatch will mean a significant change for bait usage,with leeches and crawlers now increasing greatly inpopularity. Minnows will still work, especially after thehatch is over, but the smaller leeches are working quite

well at this point. Finding the mud and soft-bottomareas and working them in the evenings with thesesmall leeches works best.

Northerns are hitting quite well, with all weedareas holding nice populations of feeding fish. As faras live bait, chubs or larger minnows work best, either

jigged or slip-bobbered in the weeds. Anglers will besurprised with how deep these fish are as long as theyfind weeds.

Bass action is great at this point with the balance of the spawning done for the year and the fish moving totheir summer haunts. This movement might be held upon some lakes by a detour to feed on mayflies whilethey hatch, but smallies will end up on the rocks.Largemouths are already encased in cover for the sum-mer. Look for them in weeds, trees, brush pile and othercover.

Muskies are starting to provide some consistentactions now that the females are recovered from thespawning process and feeding with more active intent.Some nice fish have been caught lately, and now an-

glers are just waiting for the water temperatures torise to normal summer levels. Surface baits havestarted to work well now, along with bucktails. Lookfor deeper weeds to be most productive, but eveningswill find the fish up shallow in the weeds looking forforage fish.

Panfish are hitting well, especially the bluegills, asthey are still on the shores spawning. Waxworms andleafworms work best for these fish. Perch are in thedeeper weeds and crappies are now seeking cover inbrush piles and deeper structure.

Good luck and good fishin’.

Fishing pretty good despite cold weather

The Eagle River Chapter of

Ducks Unlimited (DU) willhold its 36th annual fundrais-ing banquet Thursday, June23, at the Snowmobile DerbyExpo Hall, located on High-way 45 North in Eagle River.

The event will begin at 6p.m., and food will be servedfrom 6 to 7 p.m. Space is limit-ed and interested persons areasked to register in advance.

One in 10 will win a Moss-berg Tactical .22-caliber auto-matic as a door prize. Thisgun is valued at $250.

For more information andtickets, call Jim at (715) 617-9385 or Jerry at (920) 912-3080.

Funds from these banquetsare used to conserve, restoreand manage wetlands for wa-

terfowl and thousands of other species of wildlife thatuse the marshes and wet-lands as part of their annuallife cycle needs.

In addition to providingcritical wildlife habitat, wet-lands also act as natural fil-

ters for sediment and pollu-

tants that would limit thenatural productivity of thelakes and streams.

“These projects are largescale and expensive, but thebenefits are worth the invest-ment,” said DU regional direc-tor Steve Kresl.

Since 2001, DU has con-served and restored nearly4,000 acres of critical wildlifehabitat in Vilas County andthe surrounding areas.

Wisconsin DU recentlyreached a milestone of 100,000acres conserved in Wisconsin.In 2010, Wisconsin DU com-pleted 67 different projects,conserved 2,488 acres of habi-tat, and offered technical assis-tance on more than 3,188 acres

of wildlife habitat.

There is good news forruffed grouse hunters if the2011 spring drumming countsare any indication of opportu-nities for the season ahead.

Department of Natural Re-sources (DNR) wildlife offi-

cials report that Wisconsin’sruffed grouse population ap-pears to have increased fromlast year, according to datacollected by wildlife staff,foresters, wardens and count-less volunteers.

Statewide, the ruffedgrouse population increasedabout 38% between 2010 and2011, said Scott Walter, DNRupland wildlife ecologist.

The southwest study regionshowed the greatest increasein drumming activity over thelast year with a 118% in-crease, with all routes eitherincreasing or remaining sta-ble, said Walter.

The central and northernregions both showed healthyincreases of 31% and 43%, re-spectively. No drumminggrouse were heard on tran-sects run in the southeast re-gion, which contains the leastamount of grouse cover in thestate.

Grouse populations innorthern Wisconsin tend tocycle predictably over aneight- to 11-year period. Theprevious high was in 1999,and it was assumed that Wis-consin had reached the peakof the current grouse cycle twoyears ago, in 2009. Biologistsinterpreted the reported 5%decrease in drumming activi-ty observed during the 2010survey as an indication that

the ruffed grouse populationhad begun its cyclic down-swing.

This year’s robust increasein drumming activity, howev-er, suggests that perhaps Wis-consin hunters and wildlifeenthusiasts have yet to seethe peak in the current popu-lation cycle.

“This is surprising, and po-tentially very good news forgrouse hunters in the state,”said Walter. “It will be inter-esting to see if survey resultsindicate similar increases inother parts of the upper Mid-west. It’s important to note,however, that good brood-rearing conditions over thenext few weeks will also beimportant in determining howmany grouse hunters can ex-pect to flush come September.”

Drumming surveysRuffed grouse are one of

Wisconsin’s most popular up-land game birds.Their charac-teristic drumming noise isreadily recognized and is pro-duced by males during thespring breeding season. Themale grouse will stand ondrumming logs and rapidlybeat their wings with the in-tention of attracting femalegrouse. They are closelylinked to young forest habi-

tats that develop followinglarge disturbances, notablylogging activities.

While hunters often focuson grouse numbers in a singleyear, it’s important to remem-ber that the long-term healthof grouse and other early suc-cessional wildlife is dependentupon the ability to create the

dense young cover they re-quire, Walter added.

“Lacking significant, broad-scale forms of natural distur-bance such as fire, we need toensure that intensive timberharvests remain a component

of our forest management ac-tivities,” he said.

Ruffed grouse drummingsurveys are divided into fourregions around the state.Each spring since 1964,wildlife biologists, wardens,foresters, members of theRuffed Grouse Society, andother volunteers have drivensurvey routes, stopping to lis-ten at predetermined loca-tions for the unmistakablesound of drumming ruffedgrouse.

These drumming countsand observational data onbreeding success allow biolo-gists to track grouse popula-tion changes.

Ruffed grouse drummingsurveys are helpful in trackingstatewide population changesover the long term, accordingto Sharon Fandel, assistantupland wildlife ecologist.

“However, they are not nec-essarily the best predictors of local harvest or hunting op-portunities,” said Fandel. “Themost successful hunters areusually those who spend themost time in the field andcover the most ground.”

Season datesThere are two ruffed grouse

hunting zones in the state.The hunting dates for Zone Aare Sept. 17, 2011, throughJan. 31, 2012. The dates for

Zone B are Oct. 15, 2011,through Dec. 8, 2011.Daily bag limits are five

birds per day in Zone A andtwo birds per day in Zone B.Possession limits are twicethe daily bag limit.Additionalinformation can be found onthe ruffed grouse page of theDNR website at dnr.wi.gov.

Survey indicates unexpected risein state ruffed grouse population

The Department of Natural Re-sources said spring drummingcounts were up 43% in northernregions of the state.

For many Green Bay Packers fans, the memory of the Green and Gold winning Super Bowl XLV lastFebruary has been put on the back burner for thesummer months.

But that memory was temporarily revitalized lastThursday when the members of the Green Bay Pack-ers organization received their Super Bowl XLV worldchampionship rings at a celebration in the LambeauField atrium.

The crest of the ringfeatures the GreenBay “G” logo cast in

18-karat yellow goldplaced on a greenstone tablet. Thirteendiamonds are embed-ded in the logo, eachone representing theteam’s NFL record 13championships. Theiconic logo is illumi-nated by round bril-liant-cut diamonds andfour marquis-cut dia-monds representingthe Packers’ fourSuper Bowl triumphs. Surrounding the crest are 92 di-amonds which recognize the 92-year history of GreenBay Packers football.

One ring shoulder is personalized with the player’slast name and team number to recognize his role inthe historic win and memorable season. Each player’snumber is circled, just like the numbers emblazonedon the jerseys of the first Packers championship teamof 1929. The side includes an image of Lambeau Fieldto symbolize the team’s legendary home and keysource of unparalleled fan support.

The opposite shoulder of each ring features an imageof the Vince Lombardi Super Bowl XLV championshiptrophy with “Packers” engraved above.The inside of each player’s ring bears inscriptions the further detailthe season. The scores of the four post-season wins and“1” flanked by the words “Mind, Goal, Purpose, Heart”commemorates the inspirational motto of the team.

Overall, the rings are made of platinum with 18-karatyellow gold and weigh 116 grams. Diamonds totaling 3.35carats are featured in the ring. According to the NFL, theleague pays for up to 150 rings at $5,000 per ring, plusadjustments for increases in gold and diamonds. Furtherinformation about the rings was not disclosed.

The Green Bay Packers Super Bowl XLV ring will jointhe team’s collection, which includes rings representing

victories in Super Bowl I (1966 season),Super Bowl II

(1967 season) and Super Bowl XXXI (1996 season).For Green Bay Packers fans who want a constantmemory of the most recent Super Bowl victory, SuperBowl XLV collectibles will be available at packer-sproshop.com.

Robby Resch of Antigoholds the all-time record of 14.62, which was set overMemorial Day weekend.

Reif consistently turnedlaps of over 90 miles per hourto easily outdistance the en-tire field. Mike Hicks of EagleRiver took a second, andResch took a third in the fea-ture.

When asked after the raceif he was nervous going as fastas he was, Reif told the crowd

he had complete control.“No, I knew I was going

fast,” he said.“The car was re-ally handling.”

Micro Sprint driver Jared

Cech of Rhinelander said thecombination of track condi-tions and Reif’s driving led tothe nearly record-settingpace.

“The track was in perfectshape, and Jake had his carhandling perfect,” Cech said.

Since May of last year,Robby Resch’s younger broth-er, Tanner Resch, has wonevery single heat and featurerace in the Junior Sprints.

However, that streak cameto an end early in the racingprogram when Ty Springer, 8,of Eagle River defeated him inthe heat race. Springer alsocame back to defeat Resch inthe feature.

Springer said it was excit-

ing to get a win in his firstyear of racing.

After having car problemsin the last two races, JasonZdroik of Eagle River cameback with a vengeance in the

B-Mod feature. While Zdroikwas defeated by Jesse Aho of the Upper Peninsula of Michi-gan in the heat race, the de-fending two-time track cham-

pion came from the back of the pack to take the lead inthe 20-lap feature in the ninthlap. Last week’s feature win-ner, Bruce Belland of EagleRiver, took second.

Dustin Miller of Rhinelander won his secondstraight Pure Stock feature.Miller took the lead for goodin the fifth lap from RonReese of Eagle River. Reeseended with a second, with fel-low Eagle River driver Ryan Valeria taking a third.

The Street Stock featurewent to Jeff Klopstein Jr. of Baraga, Mich. Jordan Kurttiof Bruce Crossing, Mich., tooksecond. Kevin Hartman of Conover had an excellent run,

coming in third.Stock car racing returns to

JUST ABOUT everybodyyou and I know has actedreally dumb at one time oranother. Maybe it was be-cause they’d become overly

tired or perhaps they wereout of their comfort zone.

Whatever the reason, yousuddenly wished you didn’tknow them. But don’t laugh.The chances are pretty goodyour best friends have gonethrough the same exasperat-ing experience with you.

Then there are those peo-ple who seem to act dumb allthe time. They always seemto be on a previous pagewhen everybody else in theroom is talking about thestart of a new chapter.

You love ’em, laugh withthem and enjoy being withthem, but you’ve got to won-der how they ever gotthrough school or managedto keep a job. You know theyaren’t dumb. So here are afew politically correct alter-natives you can use the nexttime somebody spills theirplate of soup all over you.

1. That guy is absolutely afew clowns short of a circus.2. Boy, that person has hiscell phone turned off. 3. Didyou see that? That woman isa few peas short of a casse-role.

4. Wow, her sewing ma-chine is out of thread. 5. Hisbelt doesn’t go through allthe loops. 6. Here’s a triplethreat: He’s about as smart

as bait. He has no grain inhis silo. It looks like the sky-light leaks a little.

7. Hey, that kid is a fewfries short of a Happy Meal.8. You know what I think?The wheel’s spinning, butthe hamster is dead. 9. Hisantenna doesn’t pick up allthe channels. 10. He’s thekind of person who wouldplan a vacation surfing inNebraska.

11. Warning: Objects inthe mirror are dumber thanthey appear. 12. Do you know

her problem? She forgot topay her brain bill. 13. Anoth-er triple punch: His chim-ney’s clogged. If he had an-other brain, it would be lone-ly. He’s one Fruit Loop shy of a full bowl.

14. He fell out of the stupidtree and hit every singlebranch on the way down tothe ground. 15. That personhas too much yardage be-tween the goal posts. 16. Allthe cheese slid off his cracker.

16. She has a body byFisher, but brains by Mattel.

And last, that person is solidproof evolution can go in re-

verse.* * *

Think about it: If you givea cat shelter, plenty of foodand a feeling of security, itwill stop catching mice. Somesay people are like that, too!Thus, we have a problem.

Newsweek financialcolumnist Robert Samuelsonsays: “We’ve got to face thefacts.

“Medicare ‘as we know it’is going to end. That is clear.Because of the soaring, un-funded costs, unless we do

end Medicare ‘as we know it,’ America ‘as we know it’ willend!”

In 1965, the year Congresscreated Medicare and Medi-caid, health spending was2.6% of the federal budget. In2010, those costs skyrocketedto 26.5%. The Obama admin-istration now estimates itwill be a staggering 30.3% of the budget in 2016.

An article in the Milwau-kee paper June 14 told us: In2008, the last year numbersare available, Medicaid paidfor 45.6% of the babies bornin Wisconsin. That’s 32,792 of the total births of 71,977, ac-

cording to the Wisconsin De-partment of Health Services.

In Vilas County, 122 of the175 babies born were Medi-caid babies, which is 69.7%.

In Oneida County, the num-bers were 185 of 320 births,or 57.8%. In 2008, Medicaidprovided health care for onein five state residents. Forbirths, Medicaid pays for pre-natal visits, labor, deliveryand postpartum care.

Health officials say Medi-caid actually saves taxpayersmoney because the prenatalcare helps prevent low-birth-weight babies. A normalbirth-weight birth may cost$3,514 while a low-weightbirth could cost $164,257 forthe first year.

New York Times columnistPaul Krugman, who is veryliberal, says Medicare savesus money. Krugman is usual-ly pushing the rope insteadof pulling it.

He argues that Medicarespending per beneficiary rosemore than 400% from 1969 to2009, adjusted for inflation. Incontrast, premiums for privatehealth insurance rose morethan 700% over the same peri-od. No defense for that.

So, Krugman says Medi-care is the lesser of two evils,but we can’t afford either op-tion. Therefore, the debatewill go on. How will we solvethe problem of unsustainablehealth-care costs as the bur-den grows in the future?

Is your smartphone missing a few buttons?

I PRIDE MYSELF onbeing a fair-to-middling chef,especially when it comes towild game, so it was with an-ticipation last Sunday that Ilooked at a pair of wildturkeys on my kitchencounter just waiting for me toget them on the smoker.

Never mind that it was acouple of good friends whoeach killed their first turkeythis spring and had the au-dacity to bring them to aturkeyless hunter to besmoked; the looks of them onmy counter almost made meforget I have no turkey of myown.

Mixing up my top-secretbrine, an adaptation of themixture taught to me by the

venerable Pop Dean when hehad me take over his wild-game smoking business manyyears ago, my mouth started

watering at the thought of

how good smoked turkey —and all other wild game andfish — is.

It got me to thinking aboutthose days nearly 30 yearsago when Pop taught me thesecrets of smoking he hadlearned over a half-century ormore of doing it.

It all starts with the wood.There are those who will extolthe merits of hickory or cherryor apple or mesquite, but formy money, hard maple has nopeer.

Believe me, I experimented

with everything during thedozen years or so I ran mylittle side business, evengoing so far as trying outwell-seasoned lilac chunksfrom a 100-year-old bush, andnothing made meat taste bet-ter than hard maple.

Back then, I had twohomemade smokers made

from 50-gallon drums, andoftentimes I would use bothat the same time — one firedwith hard maple for a con-trol, the other with thatday’s experimental wood of choice.

No matter what it wasstacked up against, hardmaple was and still is my fa-

vorite, and that was the woodof choice for smoking myfriends’ turkeys. The onlything different was the medi-um I chose for hard maple

Coho salmon the best of all

THIS MORNING, I wastrying to think of somethingto write about and I startedlooking at all the tools I haveon top of my desk or in thedrawers. Since all I do for aliving is write, how in theworld did I get tied up withso many tools?

My ancient UnderwoodNo. 5 typewriter sits on ashelf across the room, muchloved but unused. It was agreat tool and I wrote thou-sands of television scriptsand six books on it, but Ihaven’t hit a key on it inyears. It’s been replaced bymy computer, which is asmuch an advance over thetypewriter as the typewriterwas over pen and pencil.Using the computer stillmakes me feel disloyal,though.

Some tools take up moreroom than they’re worth. Thestapler is always there, but Ihaven’t stapled two pieces of paper together in more thana year. Maybe three years. Itwould serve them right if Istapled the two staplers to-gether.

There are two magnifyingglasses on my desk and, al-though there’s nothing wrongwith my sight, I often useone of them. I don’t knowwhy I have two. Maybe oneto find the other.

I have several differentcalendars on my desk. My fa-

vorite has all the days of theweek listed in separate rows.I can see what I’m doingevery Monday of the month.

I must have at least 10pencils, although I neverwrite anything in pencil any-

more. Pens are better thanthey used to be, but pencilshave stayed the same. Thebest part of my day in yearspast was sharpening pencils,but I no longer bother. Theword “sharpen” even soundsfunny to me now. I don’tknow why we started usingthe word “sharpen” to de-scribe putting a point on alead pencil.And speaking of pencils, getting the lead in awooden stick so preciselymust be some trick. I do a lot

People Make the DifferenceBy Byron McNutt

Trails& Tales

ByWill Maines

Burmaster, Nicolet board show great fiscal restraint Nicolet College President Elizabeth Burmas-

ter announced last week that the college wouldabsorb a $509,000 loss in state aid and any in-creases in expenses, freezing the tax levy at thesame $20.46 million it was a year ago.

Meeting head-on the challenge of deliveringhigh-quality education and workforce develop-ment while limiting tax increases, Burmastersaid the college will achieve a $600,000 reductionin operating expenses by shifting the core dutiesof 10 retiring staff members to other staff.

Frankly, we’re impressed with Burmaster’sattitude. And we admit it’s a surprise that some-

one who worked in the tax-and-spend atmo-sphere of Madison, as head of the Department of Public Instruction, has emerged as such a frugaladministrator since she took over for the retiring

Adrian Lorbetske three years ago.

Despite the fact that Nicolet College is projected to sustain the increased high enrollment of the past several years, the administration andcollege board say they realize that economic re-covery in the region isn’t coming as quickly ashoped. “We have to make cuts just like everyoneelse,” said Burmaster. Bravo!

When you factor in a 3% decrease in proper-ty valuation across the college district, the pro-posed budget and tax levy would be supported bya mill rate of $1.14 per $1,000 of equalized prop-

erty value, up slightly from $1.11 last year. Theresult will be a $3.40 tax increase on a $100,000home.

For those who don’t remember, the previousdecade under Lorbetske’s reign as college presi-dent resulted in annual tax levy increases thataveraged almost 9% — which brought frequentcriticism from this newspaper.

We think taxpayers in the college district fi-nally have an administration that is willing towork hard to balance the interests of quality edu-cation with the need to control property taxes.

The state’s Snowmobile Accident ReductionTeam (SART) won’t be funded next winter andtherefore won’t be targeting enforcement effortsduring major snowmobiling events, whether it bethe AMSOIL World Championship SnowmobileDerby in Eagle River or drag races in St. Ger-main and Minocqua.

The reason we won’t miss SART is that sel-dom was there a disproportionately high numberof fatalities during the big-event weekends inquestion, so it never made sense to us that thesetourism events should be targeted.

Besides, local conservation wardens andsheriffs’ departments can perform the same ser-

vice by doing what they often do, grouping up totarget a specific law enforcement objective. Thatteamwork comes without the fanfare and nega-tive publicity associated with a major “sting.”

In our view, Vilas and Oneida counties offerthe most scenic snowmobiling found anywhere inWisconsin — not the most dangerous.

OP-ED/READER OPINION

this time around.Instead of using a large

chunk for a back log and lotsof slivered slices to feed a fewat a time into the bottom of the smoker, I used maple in adifferent form — pellets.

Yep, maple pellets. It’s oneof the perks of selling pellet

grills which — I unabashedlyput a plug in for here and now— are the greatest thing sincesliced bread.

The wood and the flavor isthe same as if I went out inthe woods and cut up my ownchunks of hard maple, exceptthe work is all done for me.

I simply open a bag of pel-lets, pour them in the hopper,digitally select the tempera-ture, push the start buttonand let the grill do the rest of the work.

See, the only drawback of smoking meat on a homemadesmoker was having to keep areally close eye on the process,checking every 15 or 20 min-

utes to add fresh slivers whiletrying to keep the smokingtemperature as steady as pos-sible, a task that was definite-ly not easy and was very timeconsuming.

Now I simply whip up mysecret brine, fire up the pelletgrill and let her go for two to12 hours, depending on what Iam smoking.

If it’s something like suckerfillets, which I used to do by

the ton, or so it seemed, whenthey started their springtimerun in area “cricks,” two hoursare plenty.

I used to have one guy whobrought me panfish fillets bythe sackful each summerwhen he camped on TroutLake, and I soon learned ahalf-hour on the smoker wasalmost too much for those thinlittle slices.

Something thick, like bigChinook salmon or lake trout,of which I did several for wed-ding buffets, took much longer,and whole turkeys,mostlystore-bought birds back in theday, would spend up to 12hours on the rack.

I used to have a large groupof guys who came up eachMay, spending a week fishingBig St. Germain and LakeContent, and they would bringin a large batch of pike be-tween 18 and 24 inches long acouple of days before headingback.

Those were easy to do: Cutthe head off, slit them up thebelly to gut them, slice alongthe back down to the backbone

to allow good penetration of the brine and on the smokerfor two or three hours.

Talk about delicious — youcouldn’t beat them, and Inever heard a single personcomplain about picking Y-bones. There was simply toomuch lip smacking going on.

I used to smoke a lot of theducks and geese I shot — stilldo a few — and after lots of experimenting with differentbrine spices, I came up withone that turned out smokedbirds better than any I haveever had from a commercialsmoke shop.

Venison took a little experi-menting, too, until I came up

with a brine recipe that en-hanced the meat without over-powering it.Whether I did afull brisket, a large rump roastor jerky slices, it never lastedlong on a plate at parties.

Perhaps the best tasting of all fish or meat I smoked wascoho salmon.A group of friends used to take an annualtrip on Lake Superior,afterwhich they would bring metheir entire catch to be

smoked.They would have a mix of

lake trout, splake, brown troutand coho. I always cut them adeal, a discount on the price inexchange for a couple of fish.They always jumped at thebargain.

What I never told them wasthat they got the browns, lak-ers and splake, while my cut of the loot was taken out in coho,especially those in the 2- to 3-pound range.

Speaking of taste, I had bet-ter test out the turkey that

just came off the pellet grill —got to make sure it’s accept-able for the wild game feed wehave coming up soon.

of woodworking, but I could-n’t make pencils.

They always put a piece of rubber on the end of a penciland call it an eraser. Fewerasers really work, though,and they must make pencilsmore expensive.

I have a lot of ballpoints in

my desk, but I seldom usepens today, either.

My father gave me a Park-er Duofold fountain pen whenI was young, and it was thebest pen of its day. Most pensno longer need to be filled be-cause they come with built-inink cartridges. I think mostpen-and-pencil sets wereused as gifts. People don’tbuy them much today.

I have lots of notepads onmy desk, but paper seems to

be going out of style, too. Idon’t use much now. When Ifinish writing my column, Idon’t have to print or copy it.

All I do is call my assistantand she e-mails it to my edi-tor. How great and environ-mentally friendly is that?

Letter to the Editor:Save Medicare — please!I wrote a letter in 2009

about Medicare coverage for aregular shoulder replacement,including rehabilitation andhome care. Besides about 95%coverage for hospital andphysician costs, the one-weekrehabilitation (swing bed) andthree weeks of home care withphysical therapy, occupationaltherapy, nursing and monitor-ing equipment was covered100% by Medicare!

Unfortunately, my rotatorcuff failed, so on April 21,2011,I had a reverse total shoulderreplacement. That means ev-erything cut out and replacedwith implants. I am doinggreat and will give my physi-cian’s name to anyone interest-ed.

I just received my state-ment from Waukesha Memori-al Hospital for services andsupplies.

$69,370. Payments and ad- justments — $68,238. My cost

— $1,132.My secondary insurance

does not kick in until my$2,000 deductible is paid, sothe above amounts are paid byMedicare.

That is besides 11 days of rehabilitation and two weeksof home care, including physi-cal therapy, occupational ther-apy and nursing.

The physician’s bills are nothere yet, but I fully expect thesame percentage of coverage.

Congressman Paul Ryan’s

plan will gut Medicare (plusMedicaid) as we know it now.

At 78 years, I will still be cov-ered, but what about my chil-dren and grandchildren? Withpartial privatization of Medi-care under Paul Ryan’s bill,they will be faced with sub-stantially higher premiums,deductibles, etc. My son-in-lawis really very scared of whatcoverage and payments he willface if this bill is passed.

I’m sure many of you havesimilar thoughts.That is why Iwanted to tell everyone thedollar amounts. With thephysicians (four minimum),the total cost will undoubtedlybe over $100,000. I may haveto pay another $1,000, maybe

$1,500. Thank God for Medi-care. As I said in 2009, “Don’ttell me Medicare doesn’twork!”

Dear Editor:Hello to all Wisconsin and

Vilas County residents. We allknow that our military fightsaround the world to protect ourrights and freedoms. Why thendo we have some residents in

Vilas County working so hardto take away our right to the

legal sport of ATVing?We pay a registration fee just like boats and snowmo-biles so we can legally drive

ATVs in Wisconsin. No countyshould force their residents totrailer their equipment to an-other county that surroundstheir county on every side to

use them.Sports, like everything else,

are things we do by choice. If you don’t want to ATV, don’t. If you don’t want to hunt, don’t,but you don’t have the right totell all the residents of a coun-ty they can’t! One person’srights do not allow you to take

the rights of others away.We cannot allow anyone toinsist their preference beforced on people who are pur-suing a legal activity. As Amer-icans, we must respect every-one’s rights.

Dear Editor:We attended the sixth an-

nual anniversary of a flag re-tirement ceremony at theSand Lake Pub June 14, FlagDay. The practice was begunby Connie McArdle and Dan

Swiechichowski, owners of the pub, to accommodate theproper disposal of Americanflags that are no longer fit fordisplay. The proper method of disposal is to respectfullyburn the flag.

Dan is a 20-year WisconsinNational Guard veteranwhose patriotism runs deep.His idea of a flag retirementceremony has been well re-ceived. Since the first eventon June 14, 2006, there havebeen more than 1,200 flagsthat have been properly re-tired.

This year’s ceremony was

supported by a crowd of sev-eral hundred people, many of whom were retired military.

Adding to the effect of theservice was the color guardfrom VFW Post 8400 of LandO’ Lakes, the presence of Ja-

cylin Rottier Halsey, a U.S.Marine lance corporal, andher husband, U.S. MarineCorp. Ryan Halsey. Taps anda haunting bagpipe solomade the ritual especiallymoving.

A big salute to Connie andDan for doing what the NorthWoods so often does, by creat-ing a meaningful event forneighbors and visitors.

Put a red mark onFlag Day 2012 so you can at-tend the seventh annualevent.

Dear Editor:

It was revealing to readthe conviction expressed byThomas Kern in his letter of June 8, when he declared, “Ibelieve that the right-wingers are against Presi-dent Obama, not for his poli-tics but because he is aDemocrat and he is black.That is plain and simpleracism.”

Therefore, in this perplex-ing age of Obama, I’m grate-ful to have this clear-cut op-portunity in which to explic-itly say what needs to be un-derstood by Mr. Kern andothers mired in the throes of

political frustration.

First off, the only thingthat’s “plain and simple”about this issue is that right-wingers are sick and tired of the never-ending racial big-otry that liberals/progres-sives contrive for politicalexpediency, especially attimes like these whenBarack Obama is sinkingfast in self-produced politicalquicksand.

And I’d like to know howMr. Kern and like-mindedpeople square his outrageousblanket indictment with theundeniable fact that BarackObama wouldn’t stand achance against Florida Rep.Lt. Col. Allen West if he de-cides to run and wins the Re-

publican presidential nomi-nation.

Without a doubt, the hon-orable congressman and warhero would win handily,spurred on and put over thetop by a predominantlywhite center-right electoratethat’s genuinely inspired bythe lieutenant colonel’s un-compromising character andhis pledge to reverse thefoundational damage inflict-ed on this nation by the firstblack president.

Congressman West is theepitome of the Americandream, extols American ex-ceptionalism, exemplifiespersonal responsibility and

is the standard of excellence

for equal opportunity, self-reliance and good old-fash-

ioned hard work. All of thesetraditional American valuesare time-tested pillars of aprosperous society yet arealien to Barack Obama’s ide-ology.

Thankfully, however, thesebedrock values are still em-braced by a majority of the

American people who now re-alize what is at stake and arestanding side by side desper-ately waiting for someonelike Mr. West to step forwardand reignite the renowned

American spirit.

But still I wonder if thedisgruntled stone throwers

on the left, who from day onehave clearly been the cul-

prits preoccupied with race,will ever understand thatthe underlying opposition toBarack Obama has nothingwhatsoever to do with thecolor of his skin, but rather,has everything to do withthe ideology that was im-planted between his ears.

Truth be told, Obama sup-porters indiscriminatelywhipping out the race card isa tactic particularly used intimes of desperation andmust be condemned.

The regular school yearhas ended for most Wiscon-sin students, but learningopportunities abound dur-ing summer vacation.

From our summer li-brary reading programs topark and recreation events,camps and classes, and edu-cational family vacations,there are many activities tooccupy children in the sum-

mer. Keeping kids engagedand thinking during thelong break from school isimportant,because summerlearning loss is a real phe-nomenon.

Some studies say theknowledge and skills chil-dren lose over a long schoolbreak accounts for half totwo-thirds of the achieve-ment gap between childrenfrom economically disad-

vantaged families and theirnondisadvantaged peers.

Children who are too idleduring the summer loseprocedural and factualskills that can amount totwo to three months of learning. The loss in mathe-matics, spelling and read-ing skills can accumulateeach year so that by the endof sixth grade, children whorepeatedly experience sum-mer learning loss can be asmuch as two years behindtheir classmates.

However, research alsoshows that children who at-tend high-quality summerschool, participate in en-richment programs or read10 or more books during thesummer can maintain orimprove their skills.

Reading just four or fivebooks over the summer canhave a significant impact instemming summer learningloss. That’s vital to supportour efforts to improve read-ing achievement across thestate. Reading is the foun-

dation for other academiclearning.

Libraries across Wis-consin offer a wide rangeof materials to interesteven a reluctant reader.Recreational reading —whether it’s joke books,mys te ri es, ma gaz ines,sports stories or whateverchildren choose — helpsyoung people become bet-ter readers because it de-

velops vocabulary andbuilds reading speed andcomprehension.

Those who read or stayinvolved through sports,museum visits or other en-richment activities duringthe summer return to schoolready for new lessons. Soread a book. Visit a park.Enjoy our Wisconsin sum-mer. We’ll see you inSeptember ready to learn.

Tony Evers is the electedstate superintendent of pub-lic instruction.

Dear Editor: A slice of Americana was re-

vealed at NorthwoodsPetroleum Museum Car ShowSaturday, June 18. Compli-ments to all the thought andplanning that went into the or-ganization of this event.

Coordinating the dozens of volunteers who helped with somany aspects of the show andrecognizing the year-long ef-forts of museum producer EdJacobsen brought pleasure to alarger-than-ever crowd for theThree Lakes event. An out-standing eight-piece band pro-

vided music from big band to

contemporary and countrythemes.The brats were great.

Looking around, I felt thathere are the people who make

America great. These are thepeople who leave their homes tostorm the beaches, to swelter inthe heat of foreign countries —all to help us preserve our wayof life and help others at thesame time.

Isn’t it great that we canhave some hometown fun, too?Congratulations to all whobrought their great cars and forall the people involved, thanks.

READER OPINION

RARE SIGHTING — This photograph of twin al-

bino whitetail deer fawns was taken this spring in

the town of Plum Lake by a North Woods resi-

dent. --Contributed Photo

Dear Editor:On June 13, 2011, the all-

terrain vehicle (ATV) routeissue was on the agenda of theregular monthly meeting of the town of Phelps board. Thetown chairperson indicatedthat the issue was placed onthe agenda because of a letterthat the board had received

from the Vilas CountyForestry, Recreation and LandCommittee. He read the letterto the meeting attendees. Thisletter was sent to all townboards and is a documentavailable to the public.

In part, this letter datedJune 3, 2011, stated: “TheForestry, Recreation & LandCommittee will consider townrequests to use county high-ways and county forest roadson a case-by-case basis.” Thisstatement refers to creating ATV routes.The letter furtherstates that before the commit-tee goes to the Vilas Countyboard for approval, the “townmust first approve the use of aroute using their town roads.”The letter went on to addressother procedures towns wouldneed to follow in making a re-quest for approval of countyforest roads and county high-ways as ATV routes to linktheir town ATV routes. Theletter also listed referencestowns could refer to for assis-tance.

Two Vilas County supervi-sors represent the town of Phelps area.These two supervisors are also on theForestry, Recreation andLand Committee. Whenasked about county voter ap-proval of ATV routes, bothstated to me personally thatthey believe in “bottom-up”

government and why shouldPresque Isle tell Phelps howto use their town roads? Also,one of the supervisors clari-fied for me during a phonecall that the countywide ATVreferendum question severalyears ago focused on ATV“trails” on county forestlands, not ATV “routes” oncounty highways, county for-est roads and town roads. Ingeneral, I agree with bottom-

up government when it doesnot result in a patch-workquilt set of rules, regulationsand ordinances between andamong towns that may serveto confuse tourists and vaca-tioners.

Is this committee of the Vilas County board sidestep-ping the will of county voters

by addressing ATV “routes”?If county voters said “no” to ATV trails on forest lands,aren’t county forest roads partof county forest lands? Whenthe first town request for ap-proval of county highwaysand/or county forest roadscomes to the Vilas CountyBoard, how will the board re-spond? It would appear to methat the strategy and termi-nology has changed from anumber of years ago.

Therefore, the voters de-serve the opportunity to provide their input to the countyboard on this new set of ques-tions. It seems to me that, inaddition to the original ques-tion — “Should ATV trails bepermitted on county forestlands?” there are two addi-tional questions that need tobe asked — “Should ATVroutes be permitted on countyhighways?” and “Should ATVroutes be permitted on countyforest roads?” This will provide county board supervisorswith the input from thosethey represent.

And, it makes sense thatbefore the towns go through

all the time and effort to cre-ate an ordinance describingwhich town roads will be partof an ATV route system andapply to the county for ap-proval of using county roadsas part of the town route sys-tem, the county needs to de-termine their position on thisissue.

The Forestry, Recreationand Land Committee letterindicated that it would consid-er requests “on a case-by-casebasis.” What criteria is thiscommittee going to use? Onecriterion should be what safe-guards (enforceable) are beingput in place to ensure that theaddition of this new recre-ational activity will not de-grade the present attractive-ness of Vilas County totourists and vacationers.VilasCounty presently places thirdin attracting tourism dollarsin Wisconsin.

Finally, while this issue isdivisive, it is imperative thathowever it is settled, two

conditions must be met.First, county voters have theopportunity to provide inputon the issue to their electedsupervisors via a referen-dum. And, whatever action istaken, the present attractive-ness that Vilas County en- joys as a tourist destinationnot be placed in jeopardy ordegraded.

Dear Editor:Mr. Skibbie’s attempt to por-

tray ATVers as a minority op-pressed by Spandex-wearingbicyclists is laughable. I am ahunter and a fisherman. I havebeen “buzzed” by ATVs whilegrouse hunting with my dog onthe Vilas County hunting trails(no ATVs allowed but that didnot stop them).

If you allow ATVs on VilasCounty roads,their owners willask for access to more land orsimply take it on their own.There is not a shred of evidencethat ATVs will save the econo-my of Vilas County or of theUSA.

Rather, ATVs’ guzzling of

foreign oil will contribute to thetrade deficit. Only two of thenine major ATV manufacturersare American (Polaris and Arc-tic Cat), neither of which is lo-cated in Wisconsin.

At the local level, ATVs arelikely to ravage the roads of Vilas County. Only a few willbenefit from ATVs, while themajority in Vilas County willsee no benefit from the Lan-dover ATV Club’s version of trickle-down economic theory.Property owners on or near theproposed routes will likely seetheir property values drop if the routes are approved.

As for the Vilas CountyNews-Review’s survey, until a

neutral poll is performed usingstatistical and scientific con-trols, the poll cited by Mr. Skib-bie should be given no cre-dence. A poll which asks aquestion and invites all to re-spond, rather than using a ran-dom sampling has, by defini-tion, a “sampling bias.”

Because of this basic sam-pling error, the poll is not a valid or accurate measure of public opinion. ATVers do nothave a right to ride on Vilas

County roads. Their demandsto do so should be rejected.

The Northland PinesSchool and area residents are very proud and interested inthis nomination. With astrong “Captain of the North-land Pines Schools,” we appar-

ently have an outstanding“crew.” By crew, I mean teach-

ers, students, support staff,school board and, of course,parents and the taxpayerswho helped build schools thatare a source of pride of thewhole area.

Well, they are back. Those pesky little critters thatattack us the minute we step out the doors of ourhomes. Yep, the mosquitoes are here again. It is al-ways something. Winter brings the icy roads, blizzardsand piles of snow to shovel, to say nothing of freezingtemperatures. Spring comes with flooding and torna-does, and then comes summer with its humidity, heatand yes, mosquitoes. That leaves fall, my favorite sea-son for obvious reasons.

Mosquitoes are a major nuisance. When Bill and I

moved back to Wisconsin in 2002 after trampingaround the United States via our motor home, wemoved into and closed on our Wisconsin home on May9. I remember the day because it was the same daythat the UPS man came to our door and joked aboutthe mosquitoes. He was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt and his legs and arms were being at-tacked by dozens of mosquitoes. I soon learned that Iwould have to bear with these critters if I was to enjoythe beauty and arts offered in this wonderful valley.

Life is full of nuisances. Some are small, like themosquitoes, and many catastrophic, like the torna-does. But life becomes a pretty sad journey if we focusonly on the mosquitoes and tornadoes. I prefer, at

Will I miss the trips Billand I took to Door Countyeach summer? The walks onsummer evenings? The tripwe planned for our silverwedding anniversary tomor-row? You bet I miss them —every single day, throughmany tears. Am I grateful forthe incredible memories thatare mine forever? Yes! Howblessed we were. Will I usewhat I have learned aboutloss and grieving this year tohelp others who grieve? Yes, Ihave and I will or it is all fornaught.

Life is filled with gifts,with joy and loss, with painand beauty and more. Sayingyes to all that shall be andthank you for all that hasbeen (as Dag Hammarskjoldsaid so well) is the only wayto walk the paths we arecalled to walk. In the end,not much else matters, in-cluding those peskymosquitoes and yes, even thetornadoes.

I have not evolved enoughyet (and probably won’t inthis lifetime) to say thankyou for the death of those Ilove except where it has re-lieved them of pain and suf-fering. Being thankful forand embracing the toughstuff is a huge leap forwardon life’s path.

This was the seventh yearthat Jeff and Marcia Rohrhave sponsored the CallieRohr Memorial Canoe andKayak Race and, throughtheir efforts, they have raisedmore than $10,000 so far thisyear, making their hopes of reaching $90,000 in sevenyears a likely reality.

The Rohrs lost their daugh-ter, Callie, to a brain tumorand are working hard to find acure by raising money forbrain cancer research.

“Children’s brain cancer

took over from leukemia asthe No. 1 medical killer of ourchildren,” said Marcia Rohr.

She explained the reasonfor this change is that morechildren survive leukemiathan ever before.

This year, the Rohrs’fundraising efforts will go to-ward a research program atChildren’s Memorial Hospitalin Chicago led by Dr.Tomita.

This year’s race includedmore than 90 racers. RyanMichaels and Sara Ras-mussen from television sta-tion WJFW, and Diana Nor-mand and Phil Levin fromtelevision station WAOWwent head-to-head for the

“Fastest TV Station on theWater,” with Normand andLevin stroking to the finishfirst.

“Jeff in the Morning,” for-merly of Eagle River, and nowat radio station WJJQ in Tom-ahawk, paddled to the finishline to take the “Fastest DJ onthe Water,” with radio stationCoyote disc jockeys P.J. andBen Merritt close behind.

Headwaters State Bank of Land O’ Lakes had threeboats competing in a friendlycompetition with Mid-Wiscon-sin Bank, which had fourboats.

Logan Croker and LexiSnedden of Mid-Wisconsin

edged out Tom Reed and MaryEllen Otterpohl of Headwa-ters for “Fastest Bank on theWater.”

Many other racers paddledfor a cure, making the race thebiggest start of the day.

Other winners were JoeZellner from Grand Marais,Minn., in the Pro Kayak class,4 hours, 20 minutes, 49 sec-onds; Bruce Petit from Ojibwaand Lenny Ladenthin fromRadisson in the Stock BoatRacer class, 4:49.41; RobertJackson from Burnsville,Minn., in the Kayak class,5:29.16; and Richard Stumpn-er from Bloomington, Ind., inthe Solo Canoe class, 5:30.35.

The race has many recre-ation classes doing the 26-mile marathon course overtwo equal days and the pro

racers doing the whole race inone day.

The Rohrs will continue toraise money all summer, witha raffle of a 14-foot Kestrelkayak and accommodationpackages from Lake ForestResort and Club, Black BearLodge and Wild Eagle Lodge,plus jug donations at localstores. The raffle drawing willbe held Sunday, Sept. 4, at 7p.m. at Rohrs.

After unanimous approvalby the Three Lakes TownBoard of Supervisors in April,the town has proclaimed July12 as Ed Cottingham Day inThree Lakes.

In the decree, it was notedthat Cottingham distin-guished himself as a publicservant in the elected role of town board supervisor, as wellas in the appointed positionsof plan commissioner and zon-ing advisory committee mem-ber. Cottingham also servedon various subcommitteesand ad-hoc committees.

The proclamation went on tocite that “on countless occasions,this citizen,when called upon bythe town chairman and board of supervisors, did,without hesita-tion, answer the call to serviceand, through countless hours of meetings and other coordina-tion activity, has brought fur-ther honor to himself.”

The board of supervisors se-lected July 12 as Ed Cotting-ham Day because the Concertsin the Park series in ThreeLakes will host a live musicperformance that evening.

Both Cottingham and hiswife, Karen, are active mem-bers of the Three Lakes His-torical Society, the nonprofitorganization that sponsorsthe concerts series.

In reading the proclama-tion April 5, Three LakesTown Chairman Don Sidlows-ki said Cottingham is a regu-lar at the concerts.

“That night in July, as theconcertgoers assemble, there’s

a pretty good chance you willsee past-Supervisor Cotting-ham there at his usual placenext to the popcorn machinehelping to raise money for thehistorical society,” said Sid-

lowski. “We thought thatwould be a good day for every-one to give Ed a big thank-youfor his service to the town.”

Area residents are welcometo attend the Concerts in thePark event July 12 and thankCottingham for his service tothe town.

The Rhinelander Commu-nity Band will begin playingat Cy Williams Park in down-town Three Lakes at 7 p.m.

All members of the founda-tion and any other interested

velop and promote lifelonglearning in Three Lakesthrough advocacy and by se-curing funds.

The foundation was formedout of a desire to sustain thelibrary on alternative sourcesof funding, rather than relyingentirely on public funding.Thefoundation was formed as a501(c)3 corporation so that all

donations are tax deductible.The funds raised are used

for both current and long-termgoals. Most recently, the foun-dation funded a survey con-ducted by the library to helpdevelop a long-range plan forthe future of the library. Morethan 500 residents, seasonal

homeowners and visitors com-

pleted the survey, with resultsto be used to develop a 20-yearplan for library services.

The annual meeting willfeature a recap of the pastyear’s activities, while direc-tors and officers also will beelected. For more informationabout the meeting, contact

The Plum Lake TownBoard heard a report at itslast meeting from the newcommittee formed after lastmonth’s meeting regardingthe public pier at Plum Lake’ssouth boat landing.

The public pier, which has

been a much-used staple of Plum Lake for many years,manifests a superstructurethat is rotting, the metalplates on its top are lifting up,and nails are sticking up onits surface, creating a publicsafety issue.

The board and committeediscussed various strategiesfor repair and replacement,but ultimately decided thatmore information was neededbefore any action could betaken.

Citizens’ comments wereheard regarding the impor-tance of the public pier, espe-cially to permanent residentsof Plum Lake. The board andcommittee will endeavor to

keep in mind the public pier

as a piece of essential PlumLake history as it works onways to repair or replace it.

The town board also deniedSayner Pub a license for out-door street dances and beersales until further informa-tion is gathered on the bound-aries of the pub’s premises.

The owners of the pub re-quested a beer license to beable to sell beer on its outdoor

premises, particularly for anevent on the Fourth of July.However, as the board dis-cussed issuing the permit,gray areas became apparent.

Board members wanted tocomply with the pub’s re-quests, but said they felt thatwithout clear specifications of where Sayner Pub’s premisesend, problems could arise withneighboring businesses, espe-cially on one side where thereis a town road, with EliasonLumber and Hardware on theother side.

Without the pub’s ownerspresent to verify their busi-ness’s premises and wherebeer sales would actually takeplace, the board said it would

deny Sayner Pub this license

at this time.

In other action, the board:— heard a report from

Chris Wise of the town’s Aquatic Invasive SpeciesCommittee as to what thecommittee is doing to impedethe spread of invasive speciesand to deal with current inva-sive species;

— heard a report from thechairman that the new nar-

rowband-compliant radiosshould arrive in anotherweek;

— heard a report that thetown now has the new firetruck and awaits furtherequipment that has been or-dered for the truck;

— looked at a map of theredistricting, noting that aportion of Plum Lake wasplaced under the jurisdictionof a representative from LandO’ Lakes; and

— decided to use rubber or-ange fencing supported onposts for the trout pond inSayner’s Fourth of July festiv-ities this year, since the regu-lar metal fencing is in need of

repairs.

The history of Land O’Lakes will be offered in twodifferent presentations thissummer, as the Land O’Lakes NorthernWaters Mu-seum expands its HistoricResorts of the Past exhibitto include profiles of famedarea guides, and Land O’Lakes Historical Societywill present a new book,“Images of America — LandO’ Lakes,” a pictorial cele-bration authored by localresearcher Jon Helminiak.

Polishing up the newitems on exhibit and orga-nizing the expanded presen-

tation are Lisa Stemen andLynn Richey, with the helpof exhibit designer BarbWilkinson.

NorthernWaters Muse-um is housed in a buildingformerly known as GatewaySki Chalet.

“We have turned thechalet snack and service bararea into an early 1900s-style resort bar,” saidRichey. “We augmented thechildren’s area and, in thesmall area between the pre-sent exhibit and the bararea, we have added some of the fishing/hunting guideartifacts.”

Stemen added that newitems from guides of thepast, including artifactsfrom the Jack LaChance Sr.guiding era, are to be addedto the exhibit. Families of other area guides also arewelcome to check their at-tics and basements to loanor donate items to the mu-seum.

One of the most recentlyadded artifacts is a historictrolling rod and outsizedreel originally from Hull-wood, a historic home onBlack Oak Lake. It was inthe possession of notedguide Abe Eberly and waspassed on to Karl Guenther,who loaned it to Northern-Waters Museum for this ex-

hibit.The museum, located just west of downtown LandO’ Lakes in the Land O’Lakes Town Park, will openfor the summer season

Wednesday, June 29 with anopening party. Summerhours will be Thursdays,Fridays, and Saturdaysfrom 11 a.m.to 3 p.m.

Highlighting the muse-um opening will be a booksigning of the new Land O’Lakes book by Helminiak of Milwaukee and Land O’Lakes.
