The Government Accountability Board (GAB) voted to certify the sufficiency of recall petitions against three Democratic senators, including District 12 Sen. Jim Holperin of Conover. The other two recall petitions were certified against District 22 Sen. Robert Wirch and District 30 Sen. Dave Hansen. The boards staff officially certified the petitions Friday and ordered the recall elections for July 19, in accordance with Dane County Circuit Judge John W. Marksons order of June 3. Under state law, the recall elections must be held on the sixth Tuesday after the petitions are found to be sufficient. If there is a primary, as is the case in District 12, it will be held July 19 and the general recall election will be held
Aug. 16. Last week, recall elections were scheduled for July 12 for six Republican senators: Sen. Dan Kapanke, District 32; Sen. Randy Hopper, District 18; Sen. Luther Olsen, District 14; Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, District 10; Sen. Robert Cowles, District 2; and Sen. Alberta Darling, District 8. If there is a primary for any of those contests, it will be held July 12 and the general recall election will be held Aug. 9. The boards work to review the sufficiency of all nine recall petitions filed this spring is now complete, said Kevin J. Kennedy, director and general counsel of the GAB. Throughout this unprecedented period of recall petition circulation and review, our staff has excelled under To RECALL, Pg. 3A
Man killed as cycle hits turkey, trees

Emergency service crews also respond to 3 rollovers
A 67-year-old Eagle River man was killed after the motorcycle he was driving hit a turkey and struck several trees along Highway 70 in the town of Cloverland last Saturday afternoon. Three other people were injured in separate one-vehicle rollovers during the weekend, according to the Vilas County Sheriffs Department. Terry A. Holmgren of Eagle River was killed in the single motorcyle crash about 4:41 p.m. Saturday on Highway 70 just east of Old Highway 70 in the town of Cloverland. A witness reported that Holmgrens 2005 Yamaha motorcycle was traveling eastbound on Highway 70 and was struck by a turkey in the roadway. Holmgren apparently lost control of the cycle, entering the south ditch and then struck several trees. According to the sheriffs department, Holmgren was not wearing a helmet and received severe head injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Vilas County coroners office. Emergency units responding to assist with the crash were the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Eagle River Ambulance, St. Germain Fire Department and Rescue, and the Vilas County Sheriff s Department.

Invasive purple loosestrife found on Eagle River Chain of Lakes

wetlands declines dramatically and native wetland plants are threatened, according to Linn. Identifying loosestrife Purple loosestrife is a perennial herb 3 to 7 feet tall with a dense, bushy growth of one to 50 stems. The stems, which range from green to purple, die back each year. Showy flowers vary from purple to magenta and possess five or six petals aggregated into numerous long spikes. They bloom from July to September. Prevention is the easiest control method and the best way to stop the spread of purple loosestrife, said Linn. She offers these prevention tips: Monitor your shoreline annually and remove any new young plants. Plants are most easily located when flowering. One mature purple loosestrife plant produces more than 2 million seeds a season, so learn to recognize pre-flowering plants or search for them when they just start to bloom. Destroy plants before they flower and drop seeds. Once flowering has begun, viable seeds can be produced. When removing plants, take care not to leave stems or cuttings that can resprout or disperse viable seed. More information can be found at dnr.wi.gov.
LAST YEAR COMPARISON
The average daily high at this time last year for the next seven days was 77, while the average overnight low was 56. There was rain on four days measuring .43 of an inch. Days precipitation recorded since April 1, 2011, 35 days; 2010, 36 days. Average high of past 30 days, 2011, 73; 2010, 75. Average low of past 30 days, 2011, 46; 2010, 50.
FOREST CONDITIONS STREAMS AND LAKES OUTLOOK
There continues to be many reports of fawns being seen and turtles are very active now as they seek nesting sites in sand near lakes and rivers. Drivers are urged to use caution and watch for wildlife on area roadways. The bass season opens this Saturday and should provide plenty of action for Fathers Day weekend anglers. Walleyes may be somewhat inconsistent with the mayfly hatch now under way on many lakes. Wednesday afternoon showers are expected to develop, with a high of 69 and a low of 48. Thursday morning showers and cloudy skies are in the forecast, with a high of 68 and a low of 51. Friday should be partly to mostly cloudy and warmer, with a high of 76 and a low of 52. The forecast for Saturday is partly sunny and beautiful, with a high of 78 and a low of 53.

Accidents:
crash is under investigation by the Vilas County Sheriffs Department and the Vilas County coroners office. Three rollovers A 46-year-old Conover man was injured in a one-vehicle rollover at about 2:47 p.m. Sunday on Ross Road in the town of Conover. Duane A. Ross was transported by ambulance to a landing zone and flown by Spirit II helicopter to St. Josephs Hospital in Marshfield for unknown injuries. According to the Vilas County Sheriffs Department, Ross was eastbound on Ross Road in a 1985 GMC truck when he lost control, struck an embankment and rolled. Ross was ejected from the vehicle and was pinned underneath the truck. Authorities said Conover Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services members were able to extract the victim from underneath the truck. Assisting in the crash were Conover Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services, Eagle River Ambulance, U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement and the Vilas County Sheriffs Department. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash, according to the sheriffs department, which is investigating the crash. A 23-year-old Eagle River woman was injured in a onevehicle rollover about 10:27 p.m. Friday on Highway G approximately one-half mile west of Croker Road in the town of Cloverland.

Benjamin Brand, a passenger in the 2000 Chevrolet truck, was ejected from the vehicle. Brand was later transferred by ground ambulance to St. Josephs Hospital in Marshfield. His condition is unknown at this time. According to the sheriffs department, a 2000 Chevrolet truck being driven by 23-yearold Katelyn Braaten of Eagle River was traveling westbound on Highway G when she lost control. The truck entered the north ditch, rolled over and struck several trees. Braaten and Brand were originally transported to Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital. Braaten was treated and released. Speed and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors in the crash, according to the sheriffs department. A 22-year-old Three Lakes man sustained minor injuries in a one-vehicle rollover about 3:09 p.m. Saturday approximately two-tenths of a mile north of Evergreen Road in the town of Lincoln, according to the Vilas County Sheriffs Department. Christopher Clough received minor injuries in the crash, but did not require transport medical treatment, said authorities. The sheriff s department said Cloughs 1990 Chevrolet truck was traveling southbound on Highway 45 when he experienced a mechanical failure of the trucks steering. The truck crossed the centerline and went into the east ditch and rolled over.
Another invasive plant species, purple loosestrife, recently has been found on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. The Unified Lower Eagle River Chain of Lakes Commission, actively involved in managing the invasive species Eurasian water milfoil on the Chain, will begin work on managing this new invasive species. The Eagle River Chain of Lakes Association is organizing and coordinating this effort, according to Carol Linn, spokesperson for the commission. Now is the time to control purple loosestrife, as its occurrence on the Chain is low, said Linn. Even though it is an attractive plant, it is a threat to our waterways. Purple loosestrife will be global positioning systemmapped this summer by a group of volunteers trained by Ted Ritter, Vilas County invasive species coordinator. Education of riparians with subsequent removal of purple loosestrife will follow. Hand pulling, digging out, herbicide application, and biologic control are all effective management methods, according to Linn. Purple loosestrife is a native to Europe and Asia where in-

sects and diseases native to that area have kept it in check. It was introduced to North America as a garden plant, but has since spread to wild areas and depleted natural habitat for native plants and animals. Freed from its natural controls, purple loosestrife grows taller and faster than this areas native wetland plants. A total of 24 states have laws prohibiting its importation or distribution because of its aggressively invasive characteristics. Purple loosestrife displaces native wetland vegetation and
degrades wildlife habitat. As native vegetation is displaced, rare plants are often the first species to disappear, according to Linn. Eventually, purple loosestrife can overrun wetlands thousands of acres in size and almost entirely eliminate the open-water habitat, she said. The plant can also be detrimental to recreation by choking waterways. Thick growth of purple loosestrife may impede boat travel. Once purple loosestrife is established, plant diversity in
Bank provides loan for AIS management

For the third consecutive year, the First National Bank of Eagle River has offered a financial bridge loan to the Unified Lower Eagle River Chain of Lakes Commission to assist in the management of aquatic invasive species on the lower
Eagle River Chain of Lakes. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grant obtained by the commission to treat Eurasian water milfoil on the Eagle River Chain is a reimbursement grant, which means all project costs must be paid in full before reimbursement can be made. The commission, in partner-
ship with the DNR, treated 92.5 acres of Eurasian water milfoil on the lower Eagle River Chain of Lakes this spring, according to Carol Linn, spokesperson for the commission. The commission received a 50% cost share grant from the Wisconsin DNR, said Linn. The remaining funding was
obtained from the towns of Washington, Lincoln, Cloverland and the city of Eagle River, and the private sector (property owners). The loan from the First National Bank enables the commission to pay its contractors while applying for reimbursement from the state, according to Linn.

NEWS Richie named finalist for national award

Superintendent of the Northland Pines School District Dr. Mike Richie has been named one of five finalists for a 2011 National Superintendent of the Year award by the National Association of School Superintendents (NASS). The decision was announced Thursday, June 9, at the NASS offices in Newport Beach, Calif. The selection of a National Superintendent of the Year is based on the following three primary criteria: outstanding achievement as a school district superintendent, demonstrated belief in continuous improvement and commitment to collaboration and mutual support in the profession. Some of Richies achievements include increasing student test scores by focusing on accountability and using data-driven decision-making, building a myriad of district partnerships with community businesses and organizations and passing the largest operational referendum in the state of Wisconsin for $8.7 million. Dr. Theresa Daem, NASS executive director, said Richie represents what educational leaders need to be today. It is clear that our countrys educational system faces tremendous challenges and is in need of dynamic and continuously improving leadership, she said. According to Daem, there simply is not one simple fix for education. The real answer is leveraging the collective know-how of stellar district superinten-

tremendous workloads in their efforts to process all of the petitions and challenges fairly and equally. Our board has approved these recall elections after careful deliberation, balancing Wisconsin residents constitutional right to recall elected officials with the need to ensure the integrity of the petition process. All six Republican senators have now filed lawsuits contesting the boards certifications of their recall elections. Whether the litigation will affect the July 12 and Aug. 9 election dates is unknown at this time. Elections Division Administrator Nathaniel Robinson said local election officials are being instructed to proceed with planning and conducting the July 12 recall election until further notice. Information about the recall process, including petitions, challenges and certificates of sufficiency, is available on the boards website at gab.wi.gov. In addition, lists of candidates who register to run in the recall elections will be posted at gab.wi.gov. Kim Simac of Eagle River, who announced her candidacy for the 12th Senate District against Holperin May 5, released the following statement on the GAB certifying recall petitions against Holperin. The GAB ruling certifies not only the recalls petitions, but the disappointment Ive heard around the district over our current representation and the dirty politics going on in Madison, said Simac, president of the Northwoods Patriots and a Tea Party candidate. The people want real leadership. Real leaders get the job done and dont run away when facing tough decisions. Holperin is one of the 14 Senate Democrats who fled to Illinois during the debate on Gov. Scott Walkers budget repair bill that takes many collective bargaining rights away from most public employees. Simac said there were 19,255 valid recall signatures certified, the most against any Democratic senator. Facing Simac in the Republican primary July 19 will be Lincoln County Board Chairman Robert Lussow of Tomahawk. Meanwhile, the Republican Party of Wisconsin has filed an open records request in an apparent attempt to show a political connection between Holperin and GOP candidate Lussow. The request sought all records of communication between (Holperin) . . . and Robert Lussow or any records mentioning Robert Lussow. But Holperin said there is nothing to find. Clearly, the Republican Party was hoping to find evidence of some sort of political collusion between me and Bob Lussow, apparently to discredit him as a candidate, Holperin said. Instead, all they got was evidence of a professional working relationship between a state senator and a county board chair. Holperin said records show he has worked with Lussow on historic preservation issues related to renovation of the Lincoln County courthouse, legislation regarding the spring elections, efforts to get the state to build a freeway off-ramp north of Merrill, and other issues. Seeking information to connect me to Lussow suggests an effort by the Republican Party to strengthen the self-proclaimed far-right Tea Party candidate Kim Simac, said Holperin. I guess the RPW has abandoned its policy of not favoring candidates in a primary, at least in this race, because it seems to be working hard to determine the outcome of their own primary contest before voters even go to the polls.

Vilas County District Attorney Albert D. Moustakis, who became ineligible to practice law in Wisconsin for just under 48 hours last week, said he was temporarily suspended due to a filing mistake on his part. Moustakis license to practice law was suspended at 4:30 p.m. June 6 because he failed to timely submit an electronic form regarding his continuing-education requirements for the years 2009 and 2010. I did not have actual knowledge of the suspension until 2:30 p.m. June 7, he said. The notice was issued by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners June 7. A total of 205 lawyers were suspended for failing to comply with the 2009-10 Wisconsin mandatory continuing education requirement. Once I learned of the suspension, I immediately called the Board of Bar Examiners to determine the reason for the suspension, Moustakis explained. The same day, I prepared a petition for reinstatement because I had fulfilled all of my educational requirements prior to the time the electronic filing was due. Moustakis said it was his responsibility to file the proof
of his compliance timely and admitted that he failed to do so. On June 8, I personally drove to Madison and filed my petition for reinstatement along with the appropriate certifications from the trainings that I had attended in 2009 and 2010, he said. At approximately 3:30 p.m. June 8, 2011, my license to practice was reinstated. In addition, on June 9, though not required to so, Moustakis voluntarily sent a check equal to two days of his salary and fringe benefits to the Department of District Attorneys.

Thousands of people attended last years Three Lakes ShootOut to watch professional racers compete against the radar gun. This years event is set for Saturday, June 25, and will include a fly-in. --Staff Photo By KURT KRUEGER
Fourth annual Shoot-Out and Fly-In scheduled in Three Lakes on June 25

The fourth annual Three Lakes Shoot-Out and FlyIn, a fundraising event which benefits the Three Lakes Fire Department, has been set for Saturday, June 25, on the south end of Big Stone Lake, just east of Three Lakes. This years event will include watercross snowmobiles taking on the 1,000foot water course, displays of unusual airplanes, and ultralight and War Bird aircraft landing at the adjacent Three Lakes Airport. The 2010 shoot-out grossed more than $12,000 for the Three Lakes Fire Department toward the new fire station. The shoot-out, which is a radar run for watercraft of all kinds, will kick off at 11 a.m. June 25 with continued racing action and other family activities until 7 p.m. Last years fastest drag boat went from a standing stop to 147 mph in 1,000 feet down the radar run course, according to Jim Leatzow, who helps organize the event. The shoot-out highlights both professional racers from the East Coast to Canada, plus local entrants vying for Top Gun honors in all different types of drag boats, watercraft, jet boats, pontoons, personal watercraft and ski boats all going against the radar gun for the fastest speed in their class. Registration forms, maps, schedules, boat classes, preregistration fees and more can be found at the shootout website at threelakesshootout.com. This years fly-in will feature visiting ultralight and War Bird aircraft providing flybys. Spectators also can enjoy viewing the aircraft on display at the adjacent airport. There will be music, raffles, food and refreshments on the shoot-out grounds all day. Proceeds from all food and drink sales, as well as registration, raffles and T-shirt sales, will benefit the Three Lake Fire Department. The department is hoping to build a second firehouse to lower emergency response times, which saves lives, saves property and lowers insurance rates for everyone, said Leatzow. The shoot-out officially will begin Friday, June 24, at 2 p.m. at Kirbys Pine Isle Restaurant on Medicine Lake where registered boats will start a 90-minute, 12lake tour of the Three Lakes Chain. At about 5 p.m. June 24, the public is welcome to view a large static display of the various shoot-out racing boats on the grounds of Bonnies Lakeside restaurant on Highway 32 on Spirit Lake two miles east of Three Lakes. Shoot-out drivers who preregister at Bonnies Friday evening will receive a $10 discount for early registration and a free fish fry dinner that evening. Racers also may register the next morning at shoot-out headquarters on Big Stone Lake starting at 10 a.m. Performance boats from around the Midwest and as far away as New York and Winnipeg, Canada, have committed to participate at this years shoot-out, but local residents are also encouraged to enter their boats and personal watercraft, said Leatzow. Members of the International Watercross Association also will demonstrate with their snowmobiles on the water. Another well-anticipated layer of excitement this year will be snowmobiles on water, which pull waterskiers within easy viewing distance of spectators from bleacher seating at Sunset Grill restaurant on Highway 32 or from their personal boats parked on the water adjacent to the racecourse, said Leatzow. For more information about the shoot-out, go to threelakesshootout.com or e-mail info@ThreeLakesShootout.com.

The Three Lakes Town Board passed a motion in last weeks meeting to approve the redistricting proposal from the Oneida County clerk as it applies to Three Lakes. At the public hearing regarding redistricting, town Chairman Don Sidlowski and county Supervisor Dave Hintz proposed that Three Lakes receive a significant portion of the towns land from District 13 back. This portion of land had been redistricted in the 2001 census, meaning that a significant number of people who were residents of Three Lakes were represented by elected officials from a different town. At the public hearing, the county approved Sidlowski and Hintzs proposal. The Three Lakes Town Board subsequently adopted the countys proposal. Hintz said that this means Three Lakes has received more than 200 people back under their own representatives.
They gave back a lot of our people in the downtown area and east all the way over to the airport, Sidlowski said. The board also adopted the letter of understanding between the town and the Three Lakes Health Foundation regarding the transfer of the Three Lakes Clinic over to the town, effective June 7. The letter outlined each respective partys role in the agreement. The town is to be the administrative and legal arm of the agreement, while the Health Foundation is to serve as the operational arm. Ed Jacobsen, chairman of the Health Foundation, was present at the meeting, and stated that the letter outlining the agreement between the town and the Health Foundation sounded good. Jacobsen also noted that the Health Foundation has a contract between the foundation and the health-care provider, Aspirus. In another item, the Three Lakes Town Board concurred with the ordinance that the Oneida County Board of Supervisors adopted regarding chickens and ducks in singlefamily residential homes. The ordinance outlined
that a maximum of eight chickens and ducks are allowed per household. In addition, only female chickens are allowed, although both male and female ducks are permitted. The board had formerly sent a letter to Oneida County stating that Three Lakes was against allowing chickens and ducks in single-family residential homes. However, the board decided to enforce the ordinance the county adopted instead of making the ordinance more restrictive for Three Lakes. Supervisor Steve Garbowicz stated that if the town didnt make the ordinance more restrictive at the outset, it would be more difficult once people already have chickens or ducks on their property. My feeling is, why draw more attention to it, said Three Lakes Supervisor Dale Bruss, referring to the ordinance as the county had outlined it. The board concluded that it would leave the ordinance as is, unless a problem arises in the future. In other action, the board: adopted the proposed ordinance, as amended, to allow
people to camp at Don Burnside Park in conjunction with specified events with a fee of $5 per night, with funds to be transferred to the Park Commission; drafted a letter to Wisconsin Valley Improvement Co. (WVIC), requesting that if the additional federal monies that the town anticipates receiving do not cover the expense for the Townline boat landing project WVIC cover the balance; refrained from enforcing the boat launch fee at the Townline boat landing until such time as the boat landing is finished; appointed both candidates to the position of volunteer assistant airport manager at the request of airport manager Roger Blocks; approved both incumbents for another term on the Budget and Finance Committee and passed a motion to appoint Jim Leatzow to the other open seat on the committee; and adopted the resolution regarding the terms and conditions of new Town Clerk Sue Harris position. This approved resolution took effect May 31.

DNR registration deadline for larger piers extended

Waterfront property owners now have another year in which to complete a free, onetime registration if they have a larger pier that exceeds size standards set in 2004. The registration deadline has been extended to April 1, 2012, under a bill passed by the Legislature and signed May 27 by Gov. Scott Walker. The vast majority of piers statewide do not need to be registered because they already fit the size standards that lawmakers established for piers to be exempt from state permitting processes, according to Martye Griffin, who coordinates the pier registration program for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Exempt piers are a maximum of 6 feet wide but can have a loading platform area up to 8 feet wide located on the waterward end of the pier. The pier must not interfere with neighbors or public boating and fishing. It also must have no more than two boat slips for the first 50 feet of shoreline frontage owned and an additional boat slip for every full 50 feet owned thereafter. Lawmakers created the free, one-time registration process for piers that were first placed in the water before Feb. 6, 2004, to grandfather in most of the larger existing piers that exceeded the size standards. Having the pier registered protects property owners if neighbors or others complain about the piers size in future years. A downloadable registration form is available on the pier registration page of the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.

Vilas County Court report
Special prosecutor named in marijuana delivery case

Because Vilas County Assistant District Attorney David Breedlove has a conflict of interest, a special prosecutor has been named to take over a case against a Lac du Flambeau woman charged with manufacturing/delivering marijuana. Lara K. Williams, 33, of Lac du Flambeau, had a preliminary hearing set for July 18 at 9:15 a.m. during an adjourned initial appearance in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. Vilas County Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III said Iron County District Attorney Martin E. Lipske would represent the state in the case, but was not available at last weeks adjourned initial appearance. However, the defense had no objections to proceeding. According to the criminal complaint, Lara Williams allegedly sold 9.7 grams of marijuana to an investigator for $60 during a controlled buy at Williams residence at 208 Makoons Trail in Lac du Flambeau Nov. 24, 2010. Lara Williams also is charged with felony bail jumping, misdemeanor theft and possession of an illegally obtained prescription from an incident in May of 2011. Williams allegedly took medication from a womans purse that was on the kitchen table at her residence. The woman, who was staying at Williams home, said 13.5 Alprazolam, five Zolpidem and 22 Suboxone tablets were taken from her purse and Williams was the only other adult in the home May 9-10, when the medications were allegedly found to be missing. In another case before Judge Nielsen, Roger K. Daugherty, 44, of Lac du Flambeau, was sentenced to 30 days in the Vilas County Jail, fined $1,231 and had his drivers license revoked for 24 months after he was found guilty of an amended third-offense operating while intoxicated charge, which is a misdemeanor. Daugherty had been charged with felony fifth-offense operating while intoxicated, fifth-offense operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration and first-offense operating after revocation. During a plea/sentencing hearing last week, the court learned the state of Kansas could not find a conviction against Daugherty and an earlier operating while intoxicated charge in another Wisconsin county was amended to a misdemeanor, leading to the amended conviction in Vilas County last week. The second two charges against Daugherty were dismissed. Daugherty apparently hit a roadside power pole with his vehicle along Highway 47 in Lac du Flambeau Jan. 1, 2010. A law enforcement officer was dispatched to the accident at 1:01 a.m., at which time Daugherty had a blood-alcohol concentration of .183. He told the officer he had seven or eight beers at a Minocqua bar. Nielsen had several sentencing conditions, including Daughertys $1,000 cash bail paid Jan. 4 is to be applied to his fine; he will receive three days credit with good time and Huber privileges; he must report to jail July 1; and he must undergo alcohol and other drug assessment. In other felony cases, a court trial for Donald John Loeser, 59, of Land O Lakes, originally set for Friday, June 3, was canceled and plea/sentencing hearing has been set for Oct. 21 at 1:30 p.m. Loeser, who is alleged to have accepted $18,000 for a window installation project that had to be completed by others, is charged with theft by contractor in the spring of 2007. Jeremy L. Waterman, 22, of Lac du Flambeau, entered a not-guilty plea on a charge of possession of marijuana and a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia during an adjourned initial appearance last week. A preliminary hearing was set for July 11 at 11 a.m. According to the criminal complaint, Waterman was allegedly operating a vehicle left of center May 8 in the town of Arbor Vitae and was stopped by the law enforcement officer on Highway 47. The officer learned from Vilas County dispatch that Waterman had a warrant out for failure to appear on a retail theft charge. He then advised the officer he had a bag of marijuana in his pocket and a chrome-colored smoking pipe in the front center ashtray in his vehicle. Beatrice J. Williams, 23, of Racine, charged with possession with intent to deliver cocaine, had a preliminary hearing set for June 30 at 2:30 p.m. According to the criminal complaint, Vilas County Deputy Ty Peterson was dispatched to search a vehicle that was part of a complaint involving a subject displaying a firearm from the vehicle. According to the criminal complaint, K-9 Drako performed a sniff around the vehicle and the dog alerted. Officers found a clear plastic bag with a white powder substance, suspected to be cocaine, under the center console.

Six teenagers were injured in a two-vehicle, head-on crash last Tuesday evening in the town of Conover, according to the Vilas County Sheriffs Department. Authorities received a report of the crash on Heart Lake Road approximately one mile east of Highway S at 5:36 p.m. The investigation determined that a white 1994 Honda sedan, driven by 16year-old Brittney L. Anderson of Land O Lakes, was traveling westbound on Heart Lake Road, and a 1987 white Pontiac Fiero driven by 17-year-old Trey Stefonek of Land O Lakes was traveling eastbound on Heart Lake Road. Authorities said Andersons vehicle was apparently travel-
ing left of center while negotiating a curve and collided with the Stefonek vehicle head-on. Andersons vehicle had three passengers and Stefoneks vehicle had one passenger. All occupants received injuries requiring transportation to Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital. A 16-year-old female passenger in Andersons vehicle was flown by helicopter for treatment of unknown injuries, according to the sheriffs department. Conover Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) was assisted by Eagle River Ambulance and Land O Lakes EMS. The crash is under investigation by the Vilas County Sheriffs Department.

The Vilas County Board approved creating the position of human resource manager at its meeting last week, but rejected privatizing the corporation counsel office. The board also authorized a $59,220 contract for an assessment of county financial systems, administrative costs and current services, with the monies coming from the general fund. The cost of the human resources manager was estimated at the high end at $120,000, but the board voted 15-5 to authorize the Personnel Committee to hire an individual for the position. Linda Thorpe, chairwoman of the county Personnel Committee argued in favor of creating the position. This is something that is necessary due to the amount of employees we have, Thorpe said. This is a reasonable cost to the county. But Supervisor Mary Platner wanted the board to delay action on both the human resources manager and corporation counsel positions until further study was done. Were at a critical juncture, Platner said. This needs to be examined, along with where the county is going. We have to look at these two positions simultaneously and use outside experts to guide us. Platner suggested the UWExtension Government Center could do this for the county, rather than spending $59,000. Supervisor Fred Radtke also suggested the county slow down. Were putting the cart before the horse, said Radtke. We need to get an administrative coordinator first. A motion to amend the human resources manager title to include administrative coordinator also passed 15-5. Supervisor Edward Bluthardt Jr. supported the added duties for the human resources manager, while Supervisor Ralph Sitzberger did not. Ten years ago, we studied this and the county was not ready to make changes, Bluthardt remembered. Weve got 240 employees and no head. This gives us an opportunity to make a great step forward. I dont think we need an administrator and favor the human resources manager just the way it is, countered Sitzberger. Supervisor Erv Teichmiller cautioned other supervisors about the restraints the county may have under the state budget repair bill for restricting levy increases. There is no cost to support this department, only the cost of the position itself with the money coming from the general fund, noted Teichmiller. What about next year? What are the tax implications? Im going to vote against this. County board Chairman Steve Favorite said there was a gap in the middle and an opportunity to fill it because we cant continue to have the corporation counsel do this.
Corp counsel vote While there was a $50,000 projected savings to the county of having Corporation Counsel Martha Milanowski and Assistant Corporation Counsel Tara Alfonso contract with the law firm of Phillips Borowski, a 10-10 tie vote killed the proposal to privatize the corporation counsel office. Voting in favor were Supervisors Bauman, Bedish, Behling, Bluthardt, Ciszek, Favorite, Mayer, Sitzberger, Thorpe and Rayala. Voting against were Supervisors Bakka, De Bruyne, Egan, Hjemvick, Kukanich, Nielsen, Platner, Radtke, Rushlow, and Teichmiller. Supervisor Jack Harrison was absent from the meeting. The proposal to privatize the office of county corporation counsel was held over from the April county board meeting. Favorite chastised Teichmiller for distributing a position paper questioning a number of county board members, including Favorite, for their perceived lack of answering previously raised questions. I rule this communication inappropriate from Erv Teichmiller, Favorite stated. He crossed the line and this should be disregarded. When Teichmiller asked if he was entitled to a response, Favorite simply said no. Teichmiller wanted a thorough analysis of the corporation counsels office, including a time study of the division of hours devoted to human-resource needs, a survey of department heads, the impact of privatization on the judge and law enforcement, and a review of the proposed contract with the law firm of Phillips Borowski. A number of supervisors spoke against privatizing the office.
This is a huge change, said Supervisor Kathleen Rushlow. I dont think this is good for Vilas County. The new human resources manager will free up Milanowskis time and can eliminate not having time to do this or that, and we can always look at this again later. We should have the human resources director in place before we make this move, suggested Supervisor Bob Egan. I object to the timing. The proposal would have Milanowski and Alfonso performing the current corporation counsel duties within an office that Phillips Borowski would establish in the Eagle River area. The fiscal analysis indicates a current budget of $279,783, with the contract amount being $240,000 plus $9,000 in a property lease. The $240,000 would be paid at a rate of $20,000 a month. Systems analysis The county Finance Committee identified a need to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the county financial systems, administrative costs and current services for information on identifying opportunities for cost savings and efficiencies in county government. While the $59,220 study was approved 15-5, it was noted there may not be results in time for developing the 2012 county budget.
In response to a question, Schenck representative David Maccoux indicated the analysis would look at the number of county committees and board supervisor, and the possibility of department consolidations. Nielsen said the county could save the $60,000 by having UW-Extensions Government Center do the same analysis, while De Bruyne indicated they are an educational unit, not necessarily an analysis unit. Commission on Aging director Joe Fortmann asked about staff reductions. There may be moving staff, but staff reductions are not necessarily the focus of the study, Maccoux said. In some cases, staff may need to be added; the goal is to be more efficient. More efficient is not always more effective, Fortmann responded. Finance Committee Chairman Chris Mayer emphasized this was a tool for Vilas County. This will give you options, and it takes 21 of us to make the decision to change our government, said Mayer. This is a service and may tell us how to stop drawing $1 million out of our general fund to take our levy down. Hjemvick agreed, saying facts are needed to determine where were short and where were fat.

UW architecture student designs master plan for park, downtown
UW-Madison student Eleanor Brandt undertook a big project the past year, developing future potential designs for Riverview Park, along with a downtown redevelopment plan for her senior thesis project in the landscape architecture department. The partners for the project were the Eagle River Revitalization Program (ERRP), along with the comprehensive planning efforts for the city of Eagle River and the UW-Madison landscape architecture department. Revitalizing the Eagle River community, a task that has been the focus of the ERRP for the past 12 years, preserves the symbols of our communitys unique heritage for future generations, said Sy Syvertsen, chairman of the Riverview Park Committee. Riverview Park is a major historic asset in the heart of the community and is the main focus of Ms. Brandts project. Every year the park plays host to the Festival of Flavors, as well as serving as the finish line for Journeys Marathon. The Festival of Flavors celebrates local and Wisconsin foods, artisan products as well as aspects of healthy living. This celebratory event is also a major fundraiser for the ERRP for the renovation of Riverview Park. Journeys Marathon supports silent sports in the area, as well as benefiting the Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce &

Visitors Center. Over the years, many wonderful events have taken place in Riverview Park and the intent of Brandts work in redesigning the park is to show the pride that the community takes in itself, said Rita Fritz, executive director of the ERRP. Brandts project entailed multiple tasks, spread out over the 2010-11 academic year. The first step was the selection of a site to design, as well as a research topic. For her project in Eagle River, Brandt chose to focus
on the downtown area and Riverview Park. The design phase of the project included site and master scale plans, as well as details, planting specifications and numerous studies of what the proposed design would look like. Ms. Brandt did a tremendous job outlining both immediate and longterm improvements to enhance not only Riverview Park, but the entire community, said Syvertsen. For more information, contact the ERRP at (715) 477-0645.
The Vilas County Board approved, on a 19-1 vote, three contracts with unions representing county employees at a special meeting last Friday. Only Supervisor Fred Radtke of St. Germain cast the no vote against all three proposals. The one-year contract with the Courthouse Employees Local calls for a 2% wage increase, as did the contracts with the Social Workers Association and the Highway/Forestry Employees Local. The proposed contract with the Wisconsin Professional Police Association/Civilian Employees Relations Division, Corrections Officers, Telecommunicators and Law Enforcement Clerks was withdrawn and not acted on. Each of the three contracts calls for a 5.8% employee required contribution to the Wisconsin Retirement System when that provision of Gov. Scott Walkers budget repair bill becomes effective. The bill is currently in litigation at the state level. The total cost of the 2% pay increase is estimated at
$31,636. The estimated retirement system contribution by employees to offset the salary increase is $88,718 for an estimated net savings to county taxpayers of $57,081. Tree planting The county board also approved an accelerated treeplanting program at last weeks meeting. With drought conditions from 2002 through 2010, aspen stands in sandy soils on the county forest sustained insect and disease problems that led to an early harvest and the need to plant an additional 100 acres each year to catch up with reforestation. With increased cutting, there also were excess monies received by the county which were deposited into the segregated land account capped at $200,000. Amounts over the cap are deposited into the county general fund. The forestry staff has requested an additional $34,300 each year above the capped amount to do site preparation and reforestation for the next five years. An analysis of timber sale receipts since 2004 showed more than $300,000 deposited in the account some years. The accelerated reforestation program was approved along with the funding request. Dental program Vilas County is a federally designated dental health professional shortage area, and the county Health Department has been seeking funds to implement and continue a sustainable oral health prevention program for county children. Department director Gina Egan sought permission to apply annually for grants that support the program without
having to come back to the county board each year for grant application approval. Grants of $5,000 each are applied for each year from St. Marys Foundation, DentaQuest Foundation and Harley Davidson Foundation. Were trying to sustain our dental program, and it makes it easier to support programs if we can apply for these grants each year, Egan explained to the board. A motion to continue county board approval each year was rejected, and the annual application for grants was approved as long as no matching funds are required. Highway funding Funding highway work on County Highway B from Highway S west of Land O Lakes to Highway M north of Boulder Junction was approved, along with purchase of a new patrol truck and two used pickup trucks. The cost of chip sealing 20 miles of Highway B is estimated at $300,000, and the trucks will cost a total of $200,000. The funds are requested from the county segregated highway account, which requires twothirds vote from the county board. While some supervisors noted a private firm was hired to plow snow from the courthouse parking lots, a 15-5 vote approved funding the roadwork and vehicle purchases. A short discussion ensued on the retirement of current highway commissioner Jim Fischer, with the understanding the full county board would have to approve a replacement. The Highway Committee likely will be authorized to name an interim commissioner during the position vacancy, likely in July.

After sending sheriffs department personnel to Madison in February to assist with protests over Gov. Scott Walkers budget repair bill, Vilas County taxpayers await repayment for $27,000, according to Sheriff Frank Tomlanovich. Tomlanovich said he was hopeful that repayment would eventually come to the county,
but admitted the chances of that happening might be slim. Im not holding my breath, he said. Tomlanovich indicated that none of the counties that provided support for the protests under mutual aid agreements have been compensated. The $27,000 represents costs of overtime, meals, mileage and lodging, according to Tomlanovich, who said hed been informed another request for mutual aid can be antici-
Sunrise Lodge hosting fundraiser for trail

LAND O LAKES Sunrise Lodge on Lac Vieux Desert in Land O Lakes will donate onehalf of the sales from all buffet lunches served from June 1318 to the development of the Wilderness Lakes Trails bike and hiking trail system. Lunches will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, and the cost will be $8.25 for adults and $5 for children ages 10 and younger. Sunrise Lodge is excited to offer this fundraising opportunity for the bike trail expansion project. The trail will be a wonderful asset to our community and the surrounding area, said Dick Mendham, owner of Sunrise Lodge. The Wilderness Lakes Trails system will include a 40-mile trail loop connecting the Sylvania Wilderness Area to the towns of Land O Lakes and Watersmeet, Mich. Construction is expected to begin this fall on the Wisconsin portion of the trail. Engineering and design work should be completed on the northern and central sections of the Agonikak Trail in Michigan this year with construction planned for 2012. In 2011, Wilderness Lakes Trails will complete signage on a 20-mile designated bike route on rustic forested roads connecting Eagle River and Land O Lakes. Since its inception in 2008, Wilderness Lakes Trails has secured more than $900,000 in state and private grants to support this $2,500,000 project. An additional $450,000 will be required over the next three years from private sources in order to complete the trail expansion. Wilderness Lakes Trails is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, therefore all donations are tax deductible. For information on the trail project, visit wildlakes.org or call (906) 544-2448.

Committee Chairman Bob Egan agreed, saying the department might be reluctant to respond. We must ensure the safety of our own citizens first, he said. In other action, the committee: agreed to seek new bids for repair of the heat exchange at the portion of the Arbor Vitae highway facility used by deputies; will seek bids for food service to the county jail jointly with Oneida County and separately for Vilas County prior to the current food contract expiring at the end of the year; and agreed to reimburse a deputy for the cost of a uniform and boots that were soaked with blood from an incident and are no longer serviceable at a cost of about $200.

Find tranquility on a backwoods trout stream
PERFECT weather doesnt happen often in the great outdoors, but Saturday nights patchy frost sure helped the scribblers plan to do some trout fishing Sunday morning. They say there is a first for everything, and Im beginning to believe it. Ive been a regular visitor to the Deerskin River east of Eagle River the past 30 years, and not once have the mosquitoes and horseflies left me alone. Optimism ruled when I saw frost covering the roof of the house at 5 a.m., but it was too early to predict what the impact would be on the bugs that can make stream trout fishing a little challenging at

times. Lo and behold, there was not one mosquito or deerfly near the truck as I drove through a jack pine plantation to reach the creek. Upon arrival, I stood there listening to the sounds of early morning in the river valley, next to a wilderness area. The songbirds were in full chorus and a male grouse was drumming on his favorite log, but not one mosquito or fly greeted me. The frost that made this possible came in the aftermath of a dandy cold front that pushed through the North Woods last Friday. How ironic the mid-June frost was, considering that we topped 90 degrees last week and set hightemperature records all over the state. Making my way to the Deerskin, I noticed the current was brisk, the holes were deep and the river was in perfect condition for fishing downstream without kicking up any mud. A lot of rock and gravel was showing, and water rippling over it really brought out the colors. I dropped a chunk of crawler into the current and let it float toward an undercut bank along the Blackjack Springs Wilderness Area. There was a slight corner in the stream and the fast-moving water was cutting hard beneath the bank. Closing the bail on my reel, I discovered no weight on the end of my line meaning the crawler was either hung up on a snag or it was in the mouth of a fish. After
The brook trout, or speckled trout, is one of Gods most beautiful creations. Fins of orange, black and white are extremely unique.
taking up the slack line, there was no doubt that a trout had picked up the bait. There was head movement and no chewing, which usually indicates a decent-sized fish. On the hook set, my rod bent around an elder branch that had been concealing my rather tall frame. It felt heavy, and there was head-chugging, though I was more inclined to believe the weight was part snag and not all fish. Hoping for the best, I broke concealment and got out into the stream for the fight. The fish was still deep in the hole when I emerged, but soon I got my first glimpse at what appeared to be a fat, feisty brookie. That fish went just about anywhere it wanted to, even squealing the drag a little on a 5-foot ultralight rod rigged with 4-pound test line. It went back and forth out of the undercut bank and, fortunately, without catching the line on a snag. Eventually, I got downstream of the fish in heavy current and slipped a net under it. What a beauty. A 10-inch brookie. God took some extra time when he created the brook trout. Their sides are a mix of green and silver, decorated with little red dots inside blue dots, a green camouflage back, an orange belly and the fins youd expect on a saltwater fish deep orange offset by black-andwhite striping. The trout stream is a welcome break from sitting in a boat seat on the open water. Every year I get the urge to return to some of the wildest fishing country left anywhere in Wisconsin the trout stream. There is something about trout country that can soothe a soul in need of a break from the rat race of everyday life. Water rushing over gravel, trout taking flies from the surface, the occasional snort of an alarmed

deer and the music of songbirds are about the only detectable sounds heard between high ridges that guard the river valley from outside noise. That brookie was joined by several smaller trout before it was time to call it a trip. Being able to take advantage of close fishing opportunities is one of the perks of living in the North Woods. The trout stream is an adventurous place because you never know what you might find there. Ive seen whitetail fawns wading in the shallows and grouse strutting down streamside logs, nervously peeping over my presence. Ive had muskrats and beavers swim past. Sometimes the adventure is the howl of a coyote in the distance better yet, a timber wolf. And when you see the fresh track of a black bear, in the mud of a small trail used as a shortcut between the river bends, it can be quite ex-
hilarating. Best of all, it is a quiet and tranquil place in which to escape all those things and places that are part of the noisy, congested routine we call daily life. With a congressionally designated wilderness area fronting a long stretch of its east bank, the Deerskin is a wild place despite its proximity to Eagle River. There are many other trout streams here most better for catching but none so convenient for a quick outing. Like an old friend, the rivers sights and sounds bring back memories that were long forgotten. After many years, it seems there is a story to tell and a fish to remember from just about every bank and corner. Theres no better place to spend some quality time, catch a few fish and just take in whatever Mother Nature has to offer.
McCann and Hinz win Spring Classic

Team wins $7,000 for catching three muskies

Fishing with the Guides

The team of Scott McCann and Chad Hinz caught three muskies, including a 403/4inch fish on Sunday, to win the 31st annual spring Classic of Champions Muskie Release Tournament. The two fishermen were part of a 69-team field that competed in the two-day tournament on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. Sponsored by the Headwaters Chapter of Muskies Inc., the event paid $12,380 in cash prizes for first through 10th places. The event was headquartered at Wild Eagle Lodge on Duck Lake. McCann of Ringle and Hinz of Gleason caught two fish on Saturday measuring 341/2 and 381/2 inches, and moved into first place with the 40-inchplus fish on Sunday morning. Jared Adamovich and Jeremy Barber, both of Eagle River, were in first place after day one with fish measuring 351/4 and 41 inches. But it was McCann and Hinz who were smiling from ear to ear Sunday afternoon when they received their $7,000 first-place check. Two other teams ended up catching three fish in the tournament, making it a battle to the finish. A total of 22 fish were caught Saturday, putting several teams in the hunt for first place. An additional 11 fish were caught Sunday. Second place and $2,000 went to Dan Wojtuski of Eagle River and John Meyer of Louisville, Colo. They caught three muskies measuring 341/4, 38 and 40 inches. Marvin Peterson of Conover and Terry Uhlembrauck of De Pere finished in third with their three fish measuring 35, 361/2 and 383/4 inches, winning $1,000. Two teams finished the
Some normal weather improving fishing here

The North Woods is finally getting some normal weather and fishing has responded with some real good productivity for all species over the last several days. Water levels are pretty good, except for those unfortunate seepage lakes. Water temperatures are now back in or near the 70s, so were seeing more water activity. Weed growth, while improving, remains behind this time last year. As the weeds grow, anglers will see more fish using these weed beds. Walleye fishing is good, with great numbers being reported locally. There has been some size, but anglers are not being overwhelmed with big fish in the last week or so. It is the time of the year that almost any live bait will work for these fish. Most guides are taking minnows and either crawlers or leeches out on a daily basis. Look for weeds for these fish or deep water on sunny days. Be aware of the coming mayfly hatch, as that will change the walleye fishing significantly. If you see signs of this hatch, use leeches over soft bottom areas for best success. Bass are hitting well now, and both largemouths and smallmouths are moving toward summer patterns. For the largemouths, look for cover such as weeds or brush. Try either bluegill imitation spinner baits or surface baits, especially in the evenings. Smallies are now feeding on crayfish on most lakes, so crayfish imitation lures will work best. Tube jigs, orange or brown twister-type tails, and crayfish crank baits are all working well for these fish. Muskie action has been surprisingly good, with larger females now starting to feed with aggression. All types of baits are now working for these fish. Surface baits, spinners and smaller jerk baits are producing equally. Look for the weeds for these fish. Some anglers also have reported catching suspended fish. Northerns are moving and hitting with aggression on a daily basis. Look for weeds and fish either with chubs or with flashy artificials such as spinner baits or spoon-type lures. Panfish action also has been good, with bluegills and some crappies still in the shallows. These fish will be most active in the evenings, but can be caught all day long on minnows or worms. Perch will hit in the deeper weeds on small leeches or fathead minnows. With this nice weather, expect some great fishing. Good luck and good fishin.

tournament with two fish. Adamovich and Barber finished in fourth place and won $400 after not boating that all important third fish. Tournament Co-chairman Jim Heffner said the team had a nice fish Sunday, but couldnt get it in the boat. Fifth place and $375 went to Ryan Bock of Three Lakes and Tim Rutzen Jr. of Weston. They had two fish of 363/4 and 38 inches. Heffner said the field of 138 anglers caught and released 33 legal muskies more than 34 inches in the Spring Classic. Last year the tournament had 92 teams that caught 46 muskies. The 22 fish Saturday was pretty good considering we had about 2 inches of rain on Friday night and Saturday morning, said Heffner, who ran the tournament with his wife, Carol. The on-water boat judges are a real benefit to the anglers because they can continue to fish if they get two fish on one day.
The teams finishing in sixth through 10th places each caught one fish. Don and Nena McCain of Brookfield placed sixth with one nice fish measuring 46 inches. It was the largest of the tournament.

Fish production ends at Lakewood hatchery

LAKEWOOD Fish production has ended at Lakewood Rearing Station in Oconto County this spring and the site, often a summer stop for tourists, is temporarily closed. The facility ended production and closed in May after the retirement of Joe Golbach and the transfer of a second employee to another Department of Natural Resources (DNR) program. Two people are needed to operate the rearing station and the DNR was not able to fill the vacant positions because of the need to balance the budget, according to Al Kaas, DNR fish culture section chief. Lakewood Rearing Station reared rainbow trout, brook trout and brown trout. The year-old trout at the station

The Three Lakes Fish & Wildlife Improvement Association kicked off a busy summer of events and projects with its 21st annual Wild Game Feed last Saturday night. The event drew more than 120 people to the Oneida Village Inn, where they got a taste of various venison, turkey, quail, fish and pheasant recipes while helping raise thousands of dollars for conservation and youth education projects. It was another fantastic event, thanks to those who attended, donated prizes or volunteered to cook food or sell tickets, said President Jim Bollmann. We have a small but very hardworking board of directors that leads the charge on projects, including this annual event. Bollmann said most of the revenue came from numerous raffles that featured guns, rods and reels, a kayak, a gun cabinet, cash, Packers items and a host of outdoor items much of it donated by local business owners and other association supporters. The kayak was donated by the Headwaters Chapter of Muskies Inc. The Wild Game Feed, held by permit in accordance with state rules, is the groups main fundraiser of the year. Bollmann said proceeds from the event go toward a long list of projects such as boat landing improvements, college scholarships in the environmental sciences, a massive wildlife display at Three Lakes High School, hunters safety instruction, fish stocking, trail mowing to improve wildlife habitat in the national forest and crib placement/mapping in the Three Lakes Chain. The biggest project for 2011 will be a massive ren-
this spring were stocked in Wisconsin waters as planned to provide opportunities for people to catch legal-size trout where there would otherwise be none. Where possible, other DNR fish hatcheries will raise more trout to make up for the loss of Lakewoods production, but the overall number of catchable-size fish for stocking will decrease due to the need to hold positions vacant to balance budgets, Kaas said. For the short term, the facility will be closed. The DNR is examining a range of alternatives from rebuilding to leasing to decommissioning, he said.
ovation at the Townline Lake landing off Maple Lake Dam Road, which serves many lakes on the Chain. The project will include a new concrete boat launch and permanent pier, relocation of the toilet facilities and overall improvements to the parking area some of which have already been done. Bollmann said state and federal grants obtained by the association and the town of Three Lakes, through the work of engineers with MSA Professional Services in Rhinelander, will fund most of the $150,000 project. The boat landing project comes on the heels of two major projects replacement of a permanent fishing pier on Maple Lake with an aluminum floating pier and construction of a new storage facility near the town shop. Bollmann said other proj-
ects on the 2011 list include beach improvements at Maple Lake and coordinating the annual Free Kids Fishing Day in August for local youth. He said they also support Trees For Tomorrow with some of its weekly naturalist programs at Franklin Lake Campground, which is in line with the groups conservation and education missions. Already this spring, the association staged an annual Youth Basketball Tournament that attracted 40 teams in grades five through eight. Bollmann said the organization has sort of adopted Maple Lake as a lake in need of rehabilitation. In recent years, weve installed an aerator to prevent winter-kill of fish, studied water quality, stocked fish, improved the beach to prevent sedimentation, and installed a panfishing pier for kids, said
Bollmann. The organizations annual Kids Free Fishing Day is held on Maple Lake. It features guided fishing on pontoon boats, food, refreshments and prizes. This is not only our biggest family event of the year, it promotes the sport of fishing and it is our way of giving something back to the community, said Bollmann.

Bass season opens Saturday

The northern bass zone harvest season will open this Saturday, June 18, and the cool spring is likely to deliver some hot fishing action, state fish biologists said. The cool spring means the bass are spawning later than normal, said Steve Avelallemant, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fisheries supervisor in northern Wisconsin. Theyre going to be easier to fish because they will still be on the beds in many waters on opening day of the harvest season. Avelallemant said anglers should enjoy the fast action, but consider practicing catch and release for a while longer, especially for large bass. Overall, we dont have a huge concern, but one of the things that can happen when they are that vulnerable is you can overharvest large fish. So please let those big dogs go to complete spawning if you do happen to catch them, Avelallemant said. Statewide, anglers tend to release far more bass than they keep. A statewide mail survey of anglers showed that only 550,335 of the 10,073,286 smallmouth and largemouth bass caught during the 200607 survey year were harvestAvelallemant said. They could use some thinning, especially of the small fish. In other waters, where once naturally abundant walleye populations have declined, the DNR encourages harvest of the expanding largemouth bass populations as one measure to help rehabilitate walleye populations. Take a look in the regulations pamphlet under the county headings to find those waters which have no minimum length for bass, Avelallemant said. Most of these waters also will have signs posted at the landings.
Due to the late spring, anglers will find bass in the shallows. --STAFF PHOTO
Motorized trails ready for riding

The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest motorized trails are ready for riding thanks to the trail riders patience, according to a forest official. Our motorized trails are mostly dry and in good condition at this time, said Catherine Pinegar, forest recreation planner. They are open for people to enjoy. All-terrain vehicle riders did their part to help protect everyones recreation opportunities by honoring this springs trail closure and its voluntary extension, she said. Late spring weather conditions and additional rain made the trails prone to erosion and other damage. With drier weather, the trails are ready for use. We really appreciate the publics patience and willingness to refrain from riding on the trails when they were wet due to our late spring conditions, Pinegar said.

Ducks Unlimited sets 36th fundraising banquet

The Eagle River Chapter of Ducks Unlimited (DU) will hold its 36th annual fundraising banquet Thursday, June 23, at the Snowmobile Derby Expo Hall, located on Highway 45 North in Eagle River. The event will begin at 6 p.m., and food will be served from 6 to 7 p.m. Space is limited and interested persons are aked to register in advance. One in 10 will win a Mossberg Tactical .22 automatic as a door prize. This gun is valued at $250. For more information and tickets, call Jim at (715 6179385 or Jerry at (920) 9123080. Funds from these banquets are used to conserve, restore, and manage wetlands for waterfowl and thousands of other species of wildlife that use the marshes and wetlands as part of their annual life cycle needs. In addition to providing critical wildlife habitat, wetlands also act as natural filters for sediment and pollutants that would limit the natural productivity of our lakes and streams. These projects are large in scale and expensive but the benefits are worth the investment, said DU Regional Director Steve Kresl. Since 2001, Ducks Unlimited has conserved and restored nearly 4,000 acres of critical wildlife habitat in Vilas County and the surrounding areas. Wisconsin Ducks Unlimited has recently reached an unprecedented milestone of 100,000 acres conserved in Wisconsin. In 2010, Wisconsin Ducks Unlimited completed 67 different projects, conserved 2,488 acres of habitat, and offered technical assistance on more than 3,188 acres of wildlife habitat.
ed, about 5.4%. There are waters in the northern zone, however, where DNR biologists actively encourage harvest of largemouth bass right out of the gate, although the reasons vary. These waters have no minimum length limit for all bass, although most have few if any smallmouth present. On many of these waters, largemouth bass have always been the dominant predator, but they have become overabundant and slow growing,
Season regulations The northern bass harvest season runs from June 18, through March 4, 2012. The northern zone is the area north of highways 77, 64 and 29, with Highway 10 as the dividing line. The daily limit is five bass in total, with a minimum length of 14 inches. Check the Guide to Wisconsin Hook and Line Fishing Regulations 2011-2012 for special regulations on some waters. Anglers will find forecasts for bass fishing in many of their favorite northern waters in the 2011 Wisconsin Fishing Report.

Weather favorable for racing at Eagle Rivers TNT Speedway

Mother Nature greeted race fans and drivers with a clear but cool night for racing and, with the rain showers the previous evening, the track stayed smooth and fast all night. Midwest Modified heats were first on the agenda, with Bruce Belland and Alex Van Natta taking their respective races. Wissota Street heats were taken by John Kallas and Jordan Kurtti, with neither driver having any problems holding on to the lead. In bomber action, last weeks feature winner Jason Melton motored to the heat No. 1 victory with his No. 7 machine. Todd Brass was on his way to a win when a flat tire sidelined him in heat 2, allowing Tyler Lundberg and Dan Schultz to battle for the win. Schultz spun out on the white flag lap and Lundberg drove his No. 98 to the checkered flag first. The Stinger heat started with six, but only two finished. Two right front rim failures and ignition problem and one overheating sidelined twothirds of the field. In the end, John Barlowski was first to the checkered flag. The Wissota Street feature was first after intermission. Lap two action found Kallas on the inside of a four-wide coming into corner 3 and, even as wide as the track is, they couldnt run four wide. Kallas spun out and restarted at the rear, but the veteran driver was even more determined to win another feature. By lap eight, Kallas was back up to third. Within a couple more laps, he was in second and working on leader Kurtti. The Michigan driver did a flawless job holding off Kallas high and low attacks and in the end claimed victory. The Bomber feature was led wire to wire by Denny Tushoski, but the car to watch was the 2T of Brass, who finished a strong second. The Midwest Modified feature was marred with almost as many yellow flags as laps run. Belland showed that the place to run was up front, leading the entire 20-lap feature. John Barlowski swept the Stinger class, as he won the 15lap feature for his second checkers. Racing action will resume next Saturday with hot laps at 7 p.m. and racing at 7:45 p.m.

Secretary Klett presents grant for St. Germain race

Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett recently announced the St. Germain Chamber of Commerce received a $10,114 Ready, Set, Go! tourism grant from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism to help establish the Summers End HalfMarathon/5K & Paddle Battle to be held Sept. 10-11. Organizers project the sporting event will generate $213,000 in traveler spending at area hotels, restaurants and stores from spectators and participating athletes. The St. Germain Chamber of Commerce is capitalizing on the popularity of amateur sports and the impact they can have on the local economy, Klett said. The community is leveraging its best assets for this event trails, beautiful lakes and rivers, small-town hospitality to generate more travel to the area and keep its small tourism operators in business. The St. Germain Chamber of Commerce will use the Ready, Set, Go! funds to help secure venue site and municipal services. The two-day event will include a 3.5- and 7.5-mile kayak and canoe paddle race and a halfmarathon/5-kilometer over paved bicycle trails and scenic back roads. We are very excited to receive a Ready, Set, Go! grant for our new event said St. Germain Chamber of Commerce special events coordinator Anne Small. This funding will go a long way toward making the Summers End Half-Marathon/5K & Paddle Battle a great success. We would like to thank the Wisconsin Department of Tourism for this opportunity and look forward to building an event that will help support our local businesses. Small also mentioned that there are several local sponsors for this new event including Marshfield Clinic, Ministry Medical and Chequamegon Adventure Sports. The Ready, Set, Go! grant program provides matching funds to secure bid fees, venues and municipal services to help communities develop new events or steer established sporting events to the state and grow the economy through traveler spending. Information and applications are available on the Wisconsin Department of Tourism website at industry.travelwisconsin.com.

Wisconsin-Michigan contention rages at Eagle River Speedway

In only three races this year, a border battle is taking place at Eagle River Speedway. This past Tuesday night, it was the Wisconsin drivers who held off drivers from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The battle took place in both the B-Mod and Street Stock features. In the B-Mod feature, it looked like the race was going to be between Rhinelanders Rob Rodziczak and Jesse Aho of Toivola, Mich. However, when the checkered flag dropped, it was neither Rodziczak or Aho who would head to the Auto Value Victory Lane. Aho passed Rodziczak in the fourth lap for the lead. While the Aho-Rodziczak battle was taking place, Eagle Rivers Bruce Belland was in a fierce duo with Dave Dishaw of Ontonagon, Mich., for the third spot. Belland eventually passed Dishaw, then passed Rodziczak in the sixth lap. With Belland on Ahos bumper in the fight for the lead, Aho made a costly error in the fourth corner of the 12th lap, losing control for a split second. Belland took advantage of the mistake and grabbed the lead. The two then went bumperto-bumper to the finish line, with Belland holding on for the win. Aho took second and Dishaw ended with a thirdplace finish. In the Street Stock feature, Eagle Rivers Ben Pitlik grabbed an early lead, but as the race progressed, Jeff Klopstein Jr. of Baraga, Mich., set his sights on Pitlik. Klopstein quickly moved through traffic to get into a fierce battle with Pitlik. But it was Pitlik who would beat Klopstein, giving Wisconsin drivers a sweep of the border battle. Spectators knew early on that the Pure Stock class was going to be the feature of the night. Both of the Pure Stock heat races had exciting finishes. One of the heats ended with a car in the grass at the finish line. It was this excitement that had race fans eagerly awaiting the feature. The fans werent disappointed, as the Pure Stock feature saw many lead changes, three-wide racing and five cars all within striking distance at the finish line. Dustin Miller of Rhinelander took the lead on the 18th lap of the 20-lap feature to hold off Todd Brass of Argonne, Dan Schultz of Rhinelander, Ryan Valeria of Eagle River and Don Scharf of Eagle River. The surprise of the night took place in the Micro Sprint 600s, as track champion Robbie Resch of Antigo wasnt a factor in the feature. Resch set the track record at the previous race by turning in a speed of more than 90 mph. However, in the feature, it was all Jared Cech of Rhinelander on his Hondapowered Micro Sprint, who took a commanding lead early on in the race. Mike Hicks of Eagle River took second. Reschs younger brother, Tanner Resch, kept his streak going by winning the Junior Sprint feature. However, Ty Springer of Eagle River is closing the gap. Springer took a second, and Eagle Rivers Syrus Langley took a third. Stock car racing returns to Eagle River Speedway next Tuesday night, with hot laps beginning at 7 p.m. and racing to start at 7:30 p.m.

We can all learn from these worthy ideals

THE FOLLOWING essay was written by David Weatherford and is titled When Children Learn. Ive had the piece in my files for over 12 years and I thought it was time to share it with you: When children learn that happiness is not found in what a person has but in who that person is; When they learn that giving and forgiving are more rewarding than taking and avenging; When they learn that suffering is not eased by selfpity, but overcome by inner resolve and spiritual strength; When they learn that they cant control the world around them, but they are the masters of their own souls; When they learn that relationships will prosper if they value friendship over ego, compromise over pride, and listening over advising; When they learn not to hate a person whose difference they fear, but to fear that kind of hate; When they learn that there is pleasure in the power of lifting others up, not in the pseudo-power of pushing them down; When they learn that praise from others is flattering, but meaningless if it is not matched by self-respect; When they learn that the
People Make the Difference

By Byron McNutt
value of a life is best measured not by the years spent accumulating possessions, but by the moments spent giving of ones self sharing wisdom, inspiring hope, wiping tears and touching hearts; When they learn that a persons beauty is seen not with the eyes but with the heart; and that even though time and hardships may ravage ones outer shell, they can enhance ones character and perspective; When they learn to withhold judgment of people, knowing everyone is blessed with good and bad qualities, and that the emergence of either often depends on the help given or hurt inflicted by others; When they learn that every person has been given the gift of a unique self, and the purpose of life is to share the very best of that gift with the world; When children learn these ideals and how to practice them in the art of good living, they will be blessings to those who knaow them, and worthy models for all the world. * * * LETS GO OUTSIDE the box with a few wild and crazy ideas. This is about the Old America and the New America. Old America is made up of people 50 and older. This group has accomplished a great deal, has the power and the wealth. They are also responsible for the economic crisis we now face. Their representatives over the years made promises that simply cannot be sustained. Lets put all people between 16 and 40 into the New America group. (Everyone 41 to 49 are caught in the middle.) This new generation includes tens of millions of immigrants. The New America group faces a troublesome future. They cant find good-paying jobs, they cant afford health care, they are saddled with personal debt and they face lowered expectations.
New America is embracing a world created by the minds of Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook. This world is very different than the one experienced by their parents and grandparents. Iconic Old America institutions just arent part of the New America culture. Here it comes. New America disconnects from Old America. They tell Old America to fix their own problems. Stop runaway deficit borrowing, pay down the $16 trillion national debt, fund the $100 trillion unfunded entitlement obligation (or make cuts so it is affordable) and give us a realistic future without suffocating burdens. We appreciate everything you have done, but we cannot be responsible for all of your careless mistakes. You made this mess, you clean it up. Give us hope for the future. Restore our shot at achieving the American dream. * * * Cheer Up! the foreman told one of his recently divorced male workers. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. The man replied, Maybe so, boss. But the last one took my boat, and all my bait.

Our View
Lakefront owners, volunteers leading charge against AIS
Water quality that supports fishing, boating and the entire summer recreation season is the cornerstone of the tourism industry and the North Woods economy overall, which makes local efforts to monitor lake vegetation and water clarity a critical tool in proactive management. Whether its the person who scans an entire shoreline looking for aquatic invasive species (AIS) or the Clean Boats Clean Waters inspector looking for problems and making boaters aware, these volunteers form a grassroots effort that is crucial if we hope to keep milfoil and other exotics out of our lakes. Wed like to take this opportunity to thank those lakefront property owners who work so hard trying to keep invasive species out, even though it was most likely nonriparian visitors who brought invasive species to many lakes. The same people are key to projects such as fish stocking, boat landing improvements and passing laws to reduce phosphorous. We would also like to remind all anglers and other boat owners that more than 95% of the lakes in Vilas and Oneida counties are free from invasives and they can help keep it that way for years to come. State law mandates that every boat owner check their boats, trailers and other equipment for aquatic vegetation prior to leaving a landing. Violations of the no-transport law face large fines. The North Woods has many partners in the fight against invasive species, from county AIS coordinators and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to lake associations, town lakes committees and and aggressive local units of government. And again this year, First National Bank of Eagle River supported the Unified Lower Eagle River Chain of Lakes Commission with a bridge loan, allowing the organization to fund treatment of Eurasian water milfoil before state reimbursement arrives months later. Working together, community leaders and volunteers have proven over the years that they can accomplish a great deal. And they did it without much help or guidance from the DNR, which still hasnt made containment of invasive species a big priority in its budget. We tip our caps to the volunteers who make it all happen.

Why I love my job

THE OTHER DAY, I started making a list of famous people I knew during World War II. I was prompted to do this because of the 67th anniversary of D-Day this week. During the war, as a reporter for the Army newspaper, The Stars and Stripes, I often had occasion to interview Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. He was the first and one of the best famous people I ever knew. I was a private and Eisenhower was a fourstar general, but it isnt going too far to say we were friends. I called him General and Sir, but instead of Private, he called me Andy. I interviewed Eisenhower at least 25 times in his office at 20 Grosvenor Square in London. Ike liked to talk to me because he knew I had a closer connection and more firsthand knowledge of his soldiers than he did. I knew Gen. George Patton, too, but I didnt like him. Ike and Patton went to West Point, where they were in the same class. Everyone liked Ike, but few people, except maybe Ike, liked Patton. George Patton was an arrogant ass. Some people considered him a good general, but I never thought so. I met the great actor Clark Gable in London during the war. Clark was an Army officer in the public relations office of the B-17 bomb group. I visited him in his office often and found him to be a nice guy. The Stars and Stripes offices were in the London Times building near Fleet Street, where all the other newspapers also had their offices. The offices of the wire services AP, UPI and INS were nearby. Because I covered the Eighth Air Force, every time they went on a raid over Germany, I went to an air base to interview the returning fliers if they returned. I got to be good friends with reporters from all the LonTo ROONEY, Pg. 17A
Just being nominated means Richie has done well here

Whether he wins or not, its an outstanding accomplishment for Dr. Mike Richie, Northland Pines School District administrator, to be one of five finalists for the 2011 National Superintendent of the Year award. The National Association of School Superintendents says the nominations are based on achievement, continuous improvement and commitment to collaboration and mutual support in the profession. Richie has led a talented staff at Pines to dramatic increases in student test scores, more partnerships with community businesses and organizations, and significant public trust in the support of a new high school and operational referendums. Congratulations, Dr. Richie!

Youll never see my vote changed

I HAVE NEVER thought of myself as being a politician, but over this past weekend I discovered I might very well be just the type to seek political office. Technically speaking you could say I am already a politician as a supervisor on the Plum Lake Town Board, but in my town, we hardly qualify that as being a politician. Quite frankly, the town board is as high as I am ever likely to aspire, although if I want to have really big power, I suppose I could someday run for the gasp county board. As I discovered last weekend, I now believe I possess the one ingredient, the one character trait most necessary to be a politician at an exalted level, but more on

that later. Here although admittedly it will take a convoluted storytelling effort to get to the point is why I have the makings of a big-time politician. It begins with native brook trout. As almost anyone who has ever talked fish with me or read my previous ramblings knows, I have an affinity for native brook trout. Im talking the real, honest-to-goodness wild brook trout God himself stocked in rivers like the Bois Brule, the

Ontonagon, the Marengo and so many others which have pulled me to their rocky riffles and log-strewn waters thousands of times my entire life. They are without peer among all other freshwater fish when it comes to looks, but its not just the fish that makes a native so special and so very much my favorite fish. Much of it has to do with where you find him: lying quietly under a cover of balsam branches to keep him cool on a hot, sunny day; in the small quiet water below a moose-sized boulder at the bottom of a long rapids; and tucked among cedar roots jutting into a cold, pure spring pond back in the woods a long way from nowhere.

OP-ED/READER OPINION
ATV routes in Vilas are not a crisis Maines
Dear Editor: There has been a lot of negative hype created about our request for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) route system in Vilas County, and the people need to understand that these negative claims are excuses created to stand in the way, and it is sad and simply wrong. We all need to take a step back and take a deep breath and to put things into the correct perspective. Having ATV routes in Vilas county is not a crisis! It is not a tornado in Wisconsin, a flood in Louisiana, a hurricane in Florida or a tsunami in Japan. Mother Nature is far more powerful and can cause more damage in 10 minutes than all the ATVs in Wisconsin riding forever on low-impact routes. We hope that people will recognize the harassment to our sport by those who are no longer advocates of their form of recreation but advocates against ours. A recent (April 26-May 10) Vilas County News-Review poll asking the question Do you think ATV routes should be developed here to boost tourism? Out of 1,154 responses, 58.5% answered yes (675 yes and 471 no). This is an indication that the majority of people want routes, which is a compromise to the environmental activists to having trails. The Vilas Area Silent Sports Association would do well to rid itself of the two board members who are the fear and hate mongers leading all of these antiATV/UTV movements. These activists are of the same culture of the past 40 years anti-oil drilling, anti-coal mining, antigas guzzlers, etc., which has put our countrys economy at risk the real crisis here. When will this silent county nonsense end? Last year, these same people tried to rezone an entire lake, threatening the Vilas County board if they didnt get their way. Watch out, boaters, fishermen, snowmobilers and hunters. If they silence ATVs, you can be assured that silence on lakes and hunting grounds will be next. They tolerate snowmobilers to the extent they will get the trails built with government money, but the day will come, if you dont stop these activists, that snowmobile trails in Vilas will be extinct. This has already started. ATVs/UTVs and bicycles can co-exist. Vilas County is big enough and needs both. Lets move on. Joe Skibbie Landover ATV Club member

are the quiet places, where few men trespass, places where bears and mosquitoes are far more likely companions than another fisherman. And there you have it, the native brook trout, without doubt, unequivocally beyond question, the top votegetter as my favorite fish. But wait, you say, what about Brother Bluegill? You know, for years and years I considered the bluegill to be a fish for kids little kids at that. Guess what? As Ive aged, Ive found the bluegill to be an honorable fish in his own right, perfect for an old kid like me. Perhaps his best qualities are his abundance, ease of catching sometimes and generally just the relaxed mood he puts you in. Bluegills, I think, are the puppy dogs of the fish world. They seem to know that
folks, especially kids, can get frustrated not seeing a fish when, say, muskie fishing, or not catching more than one fish all day while after walleyes, and they make up for it. Bluegills do their best to make a fisherman feel good, bending the rod time after time, bringing smiles to all who treasure them on the water and in the fry pan. That is why, without question, without reservation, I can declare that bluegills, at least on some days, are my very favorite fish in the world. But wait, once more. What about those aforementioned walleyes and muskies, not to mention bass, both smallies and bigmouths, which usually are not on the top of my fish list, but on some days are? They each bring at least a few likeable qualities to the ballpark. Bass fight like demons, especially smallmouth. Walleyes may not be the hardest fighters dont tell that to a few Ive caught and they tend to draw
crowds of fishermen on popular lakes, but they make up for any deficiencies with the way they touch a persons taste buds. That is why each of the above species, on an occasional basis, are the pre-eminent, most favored of all fishes on my list, and I will never, ever back away from that stand. That brings us to northern pike and, thankfully, nearly to a conclusion of this political lesson. I had a hankering to eat a northern pike last weekend, so I hitched up the Old Town and headed for a lake up Boulder Junction way where I figured I could find a fish just right for my fry pan. What I found, beyond an abundance of pike willing to tangle with whatever artificial I threw at them, was a mesmerizing afternoon of quiet water, the good feeling three hours of pulling on a pair of oars will put between your shoulder blades and one kept pike that was just right for the aforesaid fry pan. Beyond that there were a
couple of momma ducks keeping close eye on their broods a difficult task considering the 11 bald eagles I watched throughout the afternoon a long stretch of shoreline free of any cottages, piers or people and did I mention a pike just right for my fry pan. Ah yes, a northern pike, belittled by many with terms such as slimer and snake, but earning nothing but respect in my book for a great willingness to do savage battle. Beyond that, he tastes better than any other fish as well. So there you have it, my vote unable to be bought, changed or blackmailed for the northern pike as my alltime favorite fish. So, what do you think? Is my determination to stick to my guns, my total commitment to an issue of such great importance as deeming one fish, and one fish only, as my favorite of all without any flip-flopping, enough to make me politician material? How do they say it? Read my lips.
Practice democratic ideals

Dear Editor: Control is a form of enslavement. At all levels of society we try our best to ensure personal freedom and limit undue control or enslavement. We do this by practicing democratic ideals at all levels of society whether it be our marriage, municipalities, state or federal government by allowing free debate/discussion prior to declaring rules or laws. It is for this very reason our forefathers thankfully rebelled against British rule when our nation was formed. And that is the reason some of our state legislators resisted a vote without meaningful debate on a very important issue that affects so many men, women and families within our state. The state budget or collective bargaining are minor in comparison to how we choose to function and conduct our lives at all levels of our civilized society. Think, act and vote accordingly.

Recall election leaves questions

Dear Editor: This recall election business is really something! I guess its all right for Gov. Walker to be recalled for doing his job, but its not OK for Sen. Holperin to be recalled for not doing his job and what he was elected for. Does not make sense to me, how about you? Are we taxpayers going to have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for all the damage done in Madison at the Capitol? Instead of us paying for the damage, what about all the people and parties demonstrating come up with the money to pay for the damage done inside and outside? In response to some of the letters praising all of the senators for taking off and hiding out in Illinois for over two weeks, besides still getting paid, its beyond me. If I didnt show up for work, you can bet I did not get paid for not doing my job. How do these people get away with that? Something to think about, right? As far as Im concerned, Im glad to see someone like Kim Simac take on the system, and I wish her luck. Mary Jean McQuillen Eagle River
The Tea Party is the USA Freedom Party

Letter to the Editor: In last weeks Reader Opinion page was a letter stating we should form a new party The USA Freedom Party. Thats the Tea Party small government, moral values, fiscal responsibility. What more can you expect? Growing up, I was under the impression that Democrat was for the little guy and the Republican was for the rich guy. Lately, Ive been paying more attention to politics and have come to realize Democrats may think they are helping the poor, but they are moving this great country into European Socialism. Tax to redistribute wealth. It doesnt work. If you receive free handouts, two things happen. You expect more and more, and lose the drive to produce for yourself and your family, so you stay dependent on government to provide for you, never working your way up from poverty. The Republican party feels everyone has the opportunity to work their way up and follow their dreams. This is the way our founders planned it. The problem is politics, as usual. After youve been in office for awhile, you get used to the power, lifestyle, money, etc. So they, Republicans and Democrats, join the Good Old Boys Club and keep going with politics as usual. Bush, the compassionate Republican, spent more money than all of his predecessors that makes him and all of the moderate Republicans RINOS (Republican in name only). The only thing worse is a Democrat (progressive, liberal, but more correctly stated socialist). Obama spent more than Bush in his first two years his stimulus was spent on growing government, which only puts more burden on us. He is a Marxian Socialist, in my opinion. So, yes, I agree, we need the USA Freedom Party it is the Tea Party! Dont be fooled by the liberal media. Do some research. Youll find the Tea Party to be honest, hardworking, proud Americans who love America as it was founded, not angry mobs. One just has to look at Madison this past spring to see who acts like that. Capitalism has raised more people from poverty faster than any other economic theory, and it would work much better if government would stop taxing and regulating job producers and let the private sector put America back to work.

Dont tell my bosses, but Ive been working for a long time now and I like it so much that I might even do it for nothing.

READER OPINION
There are plenty of reasons to be against Obama
Dear Editor: I would like to respond to Thomas Kerns letter in last weeks News-Review. I disagree with just about everything in Mr. Kerns letter. Mr. Kern says that it was OK for Kloppenburg to ask for the recount bcause Bush dragged the election through the courts and had the Supreme Court declare him president. Actually, Bush and Gore challenged each other over the election results. Gore was first declared president by the media, not a government body. The vote was close. Not a .5% margin like our state Supreme Court race. Mr. Kern goes on to blame Republican presidents for our debt. It is Congress which spends the money. The biggest spenders have always been Democrats, just as now when the Republicans are trying to slow deficit spending while our president and his party sit around showing no leadership while sniping at Republican attempts. Mr. Kern says President Reagan did not create any jobs. Huh? Really, was he around for Carter and Reagan? Remember President Bush was stuck with the aftermath of Sept. 11. Finally, Mr. Kern says right

wingers are against President Obama because he is Democrat and black and they are racist. I am against President Obama because; He passed an $800 billion job stimulous package that didnt work and only rewarded his political friends. He said if he didnt pass the package, unemployment would rise to above 8%. Its been way above 8% currently at 9.1% and rising again. His Cash for Clunkers program sold more foreign than American cars. He created an expensive home stimulus program. People would have been better off waiting for prices to fall. Home prices are still falling and home sales are still going down He has bowed to our enemies and insulted our friends. He has thrown Israel under the bus, even against the wishes of many in his own party. He has increased our debt by $1.7 trillion a year and counting. Under Bush and the Democratic Congress, it increased by $.6 trillion a year (not good, either). His auto bailout was really a UAW bailout, shafting the bondholders. Bankruptcy was a far better option. He gave Chrysler to Fiat. He promised transparancy,
yet passed his health care law, that most of us detest, in 12 hours behind closed doors. He continues to campaign, while showing no leadership on the debt. He took us into Libya and no one has a clue why. He promised to close Gitmo. It is still open. He spends more lavishly on his trips than any president in history, while the country is hurting. He interfered in Chicagos Olympic bid, then failed. He created a system of czars, mostly Socialist. Most never owned an American car. Why doesnt he use his cabinet? Is it because his czars dont need congressional approval? I find Mr. Kerns statement that right wingers (he would consider me one) are against Obama because he is black,personally insulting and an an insult to my right wing friends. He is playing the race card, an ACORN-like, dirty politics-type tactic. I have always been without bias, especially after reading a Jackie Robinson comic book around 1950 when I was very young. Would Mr. Kern have spoken out against bias in those days? Has he ever heard of Branch Rickey? Charlie Gullan Eagle River
Union-backed Holperin machine running at full speed

Dear Editor: I am curious to know if many people are aware that the union-backed Holperin machine is running at full speed, going toward the upcoming recall election. In less than one week, I have received two phone calls, one from AFSCME (with an out-of-state area code) and the other from WEAC. Both callers were asking for monetary help and my vote for Jim. Union-supported television commercials have been on the air for more than a week, and this week, the Holperin committee commercials have hit the air. I find it interesting that someone who has contested signatures on his recall forms, insisting that the recall group does not have enough legal signatures, is going all out in the election mode. Has anyone considered that the delay given by the Government Accountability Board was giving Mr. Holperin, and his union supporters, time to mount a powerful campaign? You have to give credit to Jim and the unions they are really good when it comes to running an election campaign. Contesting the signatures provides some valuable time to try to distance Holperin from his running away, during one of the most important votes in the history of the state. Rob Krieghoff Eagle River
ATV backers are serious

Dear Editor: Isnt it interesting that Vilas County Board Chairman Steve Favorite has received only 39 letters as of June 8, according to this paper, in regard to the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) issues facing our county? I guess the old adage that Apathy and not flattery will get you everything, is really true. Im sure that some people have put down their fishing rods long enough to write a short letter to their town officials. For myself, after writing many letters here, doing countless emails and sending letters to every lake association in Vilas County, I am still amazed by peoples apathy. All too often the response is, No way! We already decided that issue in 2004. Ive been to several town meetings and Im here to tell you that the people behind this push for ATV routes are dead serious. They are not just testing the waters. They are surefooted, organized, confident, vocal and adamant. They also have a lot of money behind them. A bunch of people talking to one another on the Internet will not keep them out. Therefore, please take time to find out the addresses or emails of your local town board members and get to them. Or you can just send them a 29cent postcard denouncing the ATV routes before they are allowed. Bill Boscamp Land O Lakes

GNBF President Bill Summers said 27 breweries from the Midwest and beyond poured more than 100 different beers ranging from light lagers to hoppy India Pale Ales to dark stouts. Our beer fest allows people an opportunity to sample a wide range of beer styles, Summers said. Ive talked to a few people who had never tried a dark beer before today and now they love it. Summers says that many of the actual brewers themselves come to Eagle River to pour their beer, allowing beer lovers an opportunity to meet the people behind the scenes and ask questions. The lineup included Angry Minnow Brewery, August Schell Brewing, Big Bay Brewing, Black Husky Brewing, Capital Brewing, Central Waters Brewing, Fat Boy Beer, Founders Brewing, Goose Island Beer, Horny Goat Brewing, To BEER FEST, Pg. 2B

Heed the warnings

Mother Nature can be tough. We see it often with floods, tornadoes and earthquakes. Two weeks ago I saw it in my front yard when the robins nest that I have monitored for weeks was attacked by some critter, perhaps a crow. Two of the three babies were on the ground, bleeding and dead. One was on the ground but still alive. The parents were in the nearby maple tree squawking at me as I returned the surviving baby and the nest to the windowsill. Ultimately, the survivor died also. These birds worked very hard building their little home on my kitchen windowsill and the mother robin sat on the nest while dad brought her food. When I went to the kitchen sink, she and I looked into each others eyes. But they did not choose a very good site. A raccoon or cat could easily climb to the sill and steal those eggs. This minor disaster, though huge for these robins, cant hold a candle to what has happened to cities like Joplin, Mo., and others victimized by tornadoes this season. I cannot fathom what it feels like to know my home and everything in it has been destroyed and, worst of all, a family member died as a result of that To FRIEDEL-HUNT, Pg. 3B
Ticketholders awaited the 2 p.m. opening of the Great Northern Beer Festival by leafing through booklets listing the 100 or
so beers for sample. The festival drew more than 800 attendees in its seventh year in Eagle River.

wicked storm. On television I see people staring at piles of rubble that used to be home and First Responders digging through piles to hopefully find someone alive. I saw a newsman break down and sob at the sight of the destruction. He said people were still in shock 24 hours after the tornado hit. I guarantee they will be in shock a lot longer than 24 hours. Between tornado deaths and damage, flooding, fires and more, I stand scratching my head, wondering what is happening on our planet.

As I sat listening to the whistles in our town warn us of a tornado a couple of weeks ago, I realized how I take for granted that our town would not be hit. How foolish of me.

In addition to that, experts are not certain how the numbers and destructiveness of this years tornadoes might be related to global warming and that the number of people killed annually is actually lower over the years, a direct result of technology that tells when a tornado can be expected to hit and warning those in its path.

Space camp scholarship awarded to Hedberg
Eric Hedberg of Land O Lakes has been awarded a scholarship to attend Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala. He was one of only 54 students selected for a full tuition scholarship. Scholarship competition is keen, requiring a student to submit an application with a detailed description of a science experiment, an essay, a mission patch design and three letters of recommendation. Only 16% of those applying this year received full scholarships. This process attracts bright, motivated students from across the world, said Dr. Deborah Barnhart, CEO and executive director of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, the museum that is home to the Space Camp programs. To win a full scholarship, a student must submit a truly outstanding application. I congratulate Eric on earning a place in the 2011 scholarship class, she said. Twelve-year-old Eric was diagnosed with a kidney disorder, Gitelmans Syndrome, in 2004. As a result, he was hospitalized three times this year alone. My illness affects my attendance at school, but I have been able to keep up with my studies, he said. I have missed so much of school over the years that it

Fishing guides casting for grades

Over 170 Pines middle-schoolers increase their GPAs
___________
ERIC HEDBERG

NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR

With a little incentive of the Guides for Grades program, students at Northland Pines Middle School are improving their grades. Eagle River guide Yukon Jack initiated the program 13 years ago with the schools approval. Last week, during an assembly at the school, he stressed to students the importance of doing well in school. The program is designed to teach students that grades are important, Yukon Jack said. This gives the students an incentive to improve their grades. The program rewards students who improve their grades by entering them in a drawing for a half-day
fishing trip with an area guide. Yukon Jack reminded the students about the importance of getting a solid education. If you learn to read well, write proficiently and learn basic math skills, you can do anything you want when you get older, he said. Those skills will take you a long way. Students eligible for the drawing needed to increase their grades from the first quarter to the third quarter of the 2010-11 school year. Additionally, students who maintained a 3.2 gradepoint average (GPA) also were eligible. This year, 176 students were eligible for the program, according to Principal Jackie Coghlan. The purpose of Guides for Grades is a reward for students who try to do their best, said Coghlan.
This year, 38 students in grades six, seven and eight were chosen to spend a halfday fishing with an area guide. According to Yukon Jack, guided trips would typically cost paying customers about $250. Students who did not get drawn for a guided trip were given a tackle bag with fishing supplies from a number of sponsors. A total of 104 of the eligible students signed up for the program. Sponsors this year included Jiffy Ice Drills, Northland Tackle, Minn Kota Trolling Motors, TTI Blakemore Fishing Group, St. Croix Rod, Culprit Lures and Mepps Mr. Twister. Eagle Sports in Eagle River supplies the bait. Coghlan said students are responsible for setting up the date for their fishing
trips. Each guide will take two students fishing. Were hoping all the students give their guide a call, said Coghlan. The 19 guides who donated a half-day of fishing this year include Yukon Jack, Bill Hassey, Paul Hansen, Tom Nampel, Bill Demlow, Jim Rechlitz, Elmer Jensen, Fred Brogle, Lamont Roth, Al Schroeder, Lon Millard, Brian Uttech, Bill Pivar, Bill Jacobs, Bob Jacobs, Clint Burns, Mat Hegy, Muskie Matt and George Langley. The day on the water with the students is as rewarding for the guides as for the youths, according to Yukon Jack. Many of the guides tell me that their best day on the water during the summer was when they took the students fishing, said Yukon Jack.
has been difficult making friends. This year, though, I have several, he added. Eric will attend the fiveday camp in July, which is based on NASAs astronaut training program, which focuses on teamwork and leadership. Real-world applications of math, science and technology are presented as students learn to fly the shuttle, participate in space walks and build robots. I am determined not to let my illness stand in my way of learning and growing. I have so many interests and have always wanted to work for NASA when I get older, shared Eric. Space camp is one more step on my journey.

Northwoods Singers celebrate musical heritage of the world

Under the skillful leadership of Dr. Pamalyn Lee, the Northwoods Singers and the Northwoods Youth Choir recently presented a blend of sacred and secular music to celebrate the traditions of the world at both Ely Memorial United Church of Christ in Land O Lakes and the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Eagle River. Dr. Lee has directed the ensembles for six years; the gifted accompaniments of pianist Linda Brainard, violinist Emcluded Victor Johnsons Deo Decamus Gratias, presented in Latin with delicate harmonies and rich violin and piano obligato accompaniments. The simple unison opening created a spirit of inspiration and prepared the way for the stronger four-part middle section and the slower, gentle ending. Kurt Bestors Prayer of the Children was poignant and performed with great harmony and perfect timing. Accompanied by Robins moving violin solo in Andy Beck and Ben Cohns arrangement of the traditional Hebrew prayer Journey in Peace, the ensemble projected the feeling of friendship and echoed with gentle contemporary harmonies. Lees beautiful soft soprano voice introduced James Erb and Linda Spevaceks popular American folk tune Shenandoah, effortlessly giving way to the more energetic contemporary three-part middle section. The sustained phrases and long open vowels were flawlessly performed, and Brainards piano accompaniment was exemplary. The Northwoods Youth Choir delightfully performed five variant selections, including the Swahili traditional Siyahamba (arr. Sally Albrecht), its pulsating African rhythms executed with gusto and enhanced with Sauters accomplished percussion, swelling to an explosive finale. Concluding with the gospel song Ive Got Peace Like a River, the troupe fittingly illustrated ones inner beauty with sweet, mellifluously smooth harmony. Without doubt, two selections topped the highlight list: the Zambian Christian Bonse Abba (arr. Andrew Fischer) and Amazing Grace (arr. Jack Schrader). With the addition of Sauters African drums, the exuberant, fast-paced Bonse Aba was belted out a cappella by the youth choir and the Singers Arleen Handrich and Nancy Senechalle. The Singers echoed the buoyant Zambian words from the sidelines. The choir moved in time with the music and ended in a rousing crescendo. However, the quintessential piece was Amazing Grace. The well-known unison opening quickly transformed into a 9/8 time blues/gospel style that broke into five melodic parts with Brainards lively accompaniment enticing the audience to move with the music. Robins beautiful violin melodies added yet another dimension to this lovely song. Congratulations to Dr. Lee, the accompanists and the two outstanding ensembles on an exceptional performance. We are lucky to have them in the North Woods. Now a North Woods resident, Barbara Wilkinson, formerly of Wheaton, Ill., taught literature at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Ill. She has written reviews and articles for local newspapers.

A Review
By Barbara Wilkinson
ilie Robins and percussionist Aaron Sauter enhanced the chorus this spring. The Singers set the ambiance with three popular English Renaissance madrigals: Thomas Morleys light and lively five-part Sing We and Chant It was executed with proper 16th-century pronunciation. Adieu, Sweet Amaryllis (John Wilbye) was compassionately delivered with a keen understanding of the lyrics. The choir easily made the rapid changes in mood, executing the slower four-part section with skill. Orlando Gibbons five-part The Silver Swan was performed with empathy that exuded the sadness of the dying bird. In each selection, the choir expressed the beautiful harmony effortlessly.

The Northwoods Childrens Museum is now accepting applications for its summer Youth Volunteer program for middle school students. According to the museum, the mentoring program will offer children ages 10 to 14 the chance to gain work experience that will help them in their future work, meet new people and have the opportunity to contribute to their community. Volunteers may select one afternoon per week from 1:30 to 4:45 p.m. to assist with various projects throughout the museum, both in teams and independently. The schedule will be flexible to allow the museum to work around periodic conflicts and vacations. Youth Volunteers really contribute to the museum, assisting with projects that are meaningful and important to the museum, said Program Coordinator Margie Rychlock. In exchange for their commitment, youths receive encouragement and rewards such as Discovery Store Dollars and museum passes. The jobs include assisting children with craft workshops, painting and repair projects in the museum, assistance with
mailing projects and office work, exhibit pick-ups and many other tasks as needed. In addition, there are team meetings throughout the summer scheduled from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. During the team meetings, the volunteers discuss work skills, learn about museum operations and receive safety training, including a session on fire safety and evacuation from a representative of the Eagle River Fire Department. The final day of the summer program will include a party for all those who have attended a team meeting and provided 12 hours or more of time to the museum. Space in the program is limited and registration with parent permission is required. For more information or to register, contact Rychlock at (715) 479-4623 or at ncm.er @frontier.com.

Lions Club seeks donations for annual auction July 23

The Three Lakes Lions Club is seeking donated items for its annual auction Saturday, July 23. The items will be auctioned to raise money for the various community activities the Lions Club organizes throughout the year. Anyone who has clean, usable and serviceable items they are willing to donate should contact the club as soon as possible, said Lions Secretary Kay Coates. As long as it can be re-used by another, well take the donated goods and put them on the auction block. Since the auction is not a rummage sale, the Lions cant accept donations of clothing, large appliances or sleeper sofas. None of these items have sold well in the past, said Coates. But we do take certain large items, provided they are in working condition. Well even accept boats. We auctioned off two of those last year. Well also accept autos, consumer electronics and furniture. To donate an item, contact Bob Borek of the Lions Club at (715) 546-3457 and a club member will come to the home of a donor to pick up the items.

Water Quality Report

We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. The Consumer Confidence Report will not be mailed but if you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact the Three Lakes Sanitary District No. 1, P.O. Box 325, 1950 Kotarski Street, Three Lakes, WI 54562 or call (715)546-3748. Regularly scheduled meetings of the Three Lakes Sanitary District are held at 3:30 P.M. on the second Tuesday of each month at the Three Lakes Town Board Room. Drinking water for Three Lakes Sanitary District customers comes from two ground source wells which are at an average 71 feet deep in sand and gravel aquifers. The Three Lakes Sanitary District routinely monitors the constituents of your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The table below shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2010. Please note the state allows us to monitor for some contaminants less than once per year. Therefore, some of the data can be more than one year old. As you can see, our water system had NO violations. We are proud that our drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some constituents with drinking water standards have been detected. E.P.A. and the State have determined that your water is SAFE at these levels. All drinking water sources, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least trace amounts of contaminants. It is important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk. Terms and abbreviations Parts per million (ppm or milligrams per liter- Example: One part per million is equivalent to half of a typical aspirin tablet dissolved in 50 gallons of water. Parts per billion (ppb or micrograms per liter- Example: One part per billion is equivalent to half of a typical aspirin tablet dissolved in 50,000 gallons of water. MCLs (Maximum Contaminant Level) are set at very stringent levels. 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 lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. Additional information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). We hope you find this information useful, and do not hesitate to contact us at the above number or address with any concerns you may have about drinking water. The Three Lakes Sanitary District takes pride in the product we provide our customers, and we will continue to strive to improve our services to you. 2010 Consumer Confidence Report THREE LAKES SANITARY DISTRICT, PWS ID 74401294

The Invasive Species Control Coalition of Watersmeet (ISCCW), or the Watersmeet Lakeguards, continue to implement a program to survey and monitor the local waterways in the area. Bill Artwich, a professional biologist from Iron River, Mich., who is contracted by the ISCCW, has been instrumental in helping keep these waterways free from aquatic invasive species (AIS) such as Eurasian water milfoil and curly-leaf pondweed that have plagued them for a number of years. Artwich stated that he surveyed and monitored his work in the summer of 2010 by the use of meander-type searches to cover the littoral zone as completely as possible, as well as other areas of the lake or stream where AIS colonization is plausible. Most of his work was accomplished by visually inspecting the water column with the aid of polarized sun-
glasses while using small boats to complete the meander surveys. He also used rakes, aqua scopes and underwater cameras to assist him in these efforts. In order to record the track navigated during these surveys and to locate exact points when AIS were found, he used a global positioning system. If he found AIS, he mapped its size and recorded the estimated density of the infestation. Several of the Watersmeet lakes that were surveyed during the summer of 2010 include Allen, Bass, Beatons, Cisco, Crooked and Duck. However, other area lakes are not forgotten. The search for invasive species is ongoing. A minimum of 18 and as many as 22 lakes will be surveyed in the summer of 2011, including portions of the Cisco Chain, Duck, Marion, Dinner, Allen and Moon lakes and Lac Vieux Desert (Rice and Misery bays). Artwich is a native of Iron River who received a bache-
lors degree in environmental sciences from Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Mich. While there, he spent time studying entomology and both fisheries and wildlife management. In addition, he spent two summers in Alaska as a salmon researcher and also as a deck boss on a commercial salmon boat. His interest in the wildlife of the area has carried into his adult life, and he has used it to keep local waterways free of invasive species. For more information, go to lakeguards.org.

Phelps School District announces three recent Students of Month

Ross Samuelson, Robby Doppke and Sawyer Rosner recently were presented with $50 savings bonds from Phelps First National Bank for winning Student of the Month awards for March, April and May. Samuelson, the 17-year-old son of Randy and Jan Samuelson, was chosen as March Student of the Month. Samuelsons favorite class is welding and his hobbies include sports, reading and games. In school, Samuelson participates in soccer, basketball, baseball and band. After graduating from high school, he wants to become a mechanical engineer with degrees in welding and design. Ross has been doing a great job in both U.S. history and AP (advanced placement) U.S. history, said Phelps teacher Alex Sjogren. He is currently achieving great scores on tests, projects and other assignments. Phelps teacher Rachel Johnson said Samuelson is a hard worker. Ross is a very intelligent young man and he works very hard to do his best at everything he does, she said. And he is involved in a lot. Ross is kind, respectful, funny and mature. Doppke, the 16-year-old son of Ursula Vanover and Craig Booth, was chosen as April Student of the Month. His favorite class is history and his hobbies include fishing, baseball and soccer. In school, he participates in baseball, soccer and basketball. After graduating from high school, he wants to become a security guard or police officer. Robby always has a great attitude, said Johnson. He is very polite and respectful and I enjoy having him in class. Rosner, the 11-year-old son of Bob and Donna Rosner, was chosen as May Student of the Month. His favorite class is social studies and his hobbies include sports, biking, jogging and reading. In school, Rosner participates in baseball, basketball and soccer. Sawyer strives to do his very best on homework, projects and tests, said Phelps teacher Tara Petreikis. He always has a great attitude and sticks up for what is right. Phelps teacher Deanie Wolbrink said Rosner has a passionate drive to study. He not only does a great job in classroom discussions, he also completes his work ahead of schedule and tries to do his best quality work, she said. During the Battle of the Books, he was willing to read books that the others thought too long or hard. He worked many extra hours memorizing authors of books so he could represent our school with distinction at competition.
