PHELPS The Phelps Town Board is taking the first step in developing a draft allterrain vehicle (ATV) ordinance, a town official announced Monday. Town Chairman Colin Snook said there will be a town board workshop tonight, Wednesday, June 29, at 6:30 p.m. at the Phelps Town Hall to develop an ATV route pro-

posal that can be taken to town residents for a vote at a later date. The Landover ATV Club has requested that the Phelps Town Board approve some town roads for ATV and utility vehicle (UTV) use. Snook said the workshop is planned to discuss the route proposed by the club. He said officials from the Vilas County Sheriffs Department, the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and the Vilas County Forestry Department have

been invited. Once the town board gets its information, the plan is to create a proposed route that makes sense and then hold a public forum or two on the issue to get the pros and cons from both supporters and opponents, said Snook. Then we would put it to a vote at a special meeting. Snook said one option might be allowing ATV routes on a trial basis for a specific period of time. Following the trial period, the town board

could study the number of accidents or complaints filed with officials and then it could be put to a vote again. Town of Phelps taxpayers favored ATVs on town roads in a survey included with the 2010 tax bill, but Snook admitted it was on the back of the form that could have been missed by some taxpayers. Quite a few people feel that it was not a good representation, including myself, To ATVS, Pg. 2A

The proposal to allow public drinking during the Foruth of July parade through downtown Eagle River was opposed in a special City Council meeting last week, but will be discussed again in September when public comments will be sought by city leaders. While drinking on public streets can be requested under the present city ordinances, sponsors of the July 4 parade did not request it in their application. Police Chief Mark Vander Bloomen had requested direction from the council on what his officers should do when there was obvious alcohol consumption along city streets before, during and after the 11 a.m. parade. The council proposed an amendment to the ordinance

to allow public consumption for one day, but it was rejected. The suggested language was as follows: The Common Council may allow open intoxicants on the parade route as designated by the chief of police, from one hour prior to the beginning of the Fourth of July parade, during the Fourth of July parade and up to one hour after the Fourth of July parade. The Common Council must, by roll call vote, approve this exception each year prior to the parade. Council members said they got no positive feedback about the proposal. I got one call only, from Brian Crist, adamantly opposed for alcohol on the To DRINKING, Pg. 3A

Concealed carry to be state law

Concealed carry, a controversial issue in Wisconsin for more than 16 years, was approved in both houses last week with bipartisan support and is expected to become law this fall. The Personal Protection Act includes a streamlined licensing process, criminal background checks and firearms safety training (with exemptions) for those who wish to conceal and carry weapons in Wisconsin. The legislation was passed last Tuesday by the Assembly with a bipartisan vote of 68 to 27. The Senate also voted 258 last week to pass the bill. When Gov. Scott Walker signs the legislation, which is expected, Wisconsin will become the 49th state to implement concealed carry legislation.

State officials said the bill could become effective as early as Oct. 1. When this bill becomes law, Illinois will be the only state that does not have some form of concealed carry. Rep. Dan Meyer (R-Eagle River) said he voted for concealed carry in three previous legislative sessions, along with last Tuesdays vote. I believe that law-abiding citizens can be trusted to exercise their liberties including their constitutional right to keep and bear arms responsibly, said Meyer. Sen. Jim Holperin (DConover) was one of the five Democrats who voted for the measure. He dismissed concerns during debate over one of 18 amendments offered by To CARRY LAW, Pg. 2A

Democrats. Will this bill make this state any safer? Probably not. Will it make this state any more dangerous? Probably not, he said. Holperin argued that small-business owners would not hesitate to post their premises if they dont want concealed weapons inside, based on the experience in the 48 other states which allow some form of concealed carry. About the bill The Personal Protection Act allows law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon once they have taken a training class and obtained a permit. Training exemptions include members of the military, retired law enforcement personnel and citizens who have already completed a hunters safety course. In addition, private businesses and special events have the ability to post signs that will prohibit conceal and carry on their premises. The bill includes a streamlined licensing process, criminal background checks and firearms safety training for those who wish to carry concealed weapons. The permit is valid for five years. The bill did not affect the regulations for buying a firearm. Holperin announced in May he supported the least restrictive or constitutional carry version of the legislation. I favored the constitutional carry or shall issue version of concealed carry, but Ive cosponsored all three of the handgun bills that have been offered this session because this issue needed to advance and finally get signed into law, he said. The Wisconsin Legislature had twice passed right-tocarry bills only to have thenDemocratic Gov. Jim Doyle veto them.

ATVs: Phelps surveyed taxpayers

he said. The results from the 391 returns included 224 in favor, 166 not in favor and one undecided. Rod Whitehead of Phelps is one of those residents who questioned the survey. It was discreetly on the back side of our property tax bill and it stated there is another recreational activity that will bring in more revenue to help local businesses, said Whitehead. Whitehead said the last sentence notes, There will be no action taken on this questionaire by any political group or the Phelps Town Board. Because the survey was likely missed by many Phelps taxpayers, Snook said thats why there would be a vote of Phelps residents once a draft ATV route plan is developed. In early June, the Vilas County Forestry and Land Committee agreed that town officials should decide whether or not they want ATV/UTV routes on their town roads. In a February 2004 countywide vote, residents rejected, in an advisory referendum, allowing ATV trails on the county forest by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, 5,457 to 3,200. ATV club plan The Landover ATV Club claims that the routes could generate new businesses and tourism in the Phelps community. The clubs proposal included a plan that would connect ATV/UTV routes from Phelps to Land O Lakes, Conover and Forest County. The plan also outlined a number of potential safety regulations, including requiring operators to stay off the shoulder of the road, ride in single file without passing, maintain a posted speed limit and adhere to a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. The outline proposed that the routes stay open from May 1 through Oct. 31. Snook said the meeting will be an important opportunity for people to provide feedback. It is my job as town chairman to get the information out there, take feedback on the proposed route and then put it to a vote, said Snook.

streets, said Councilman Jerry Burkett. I pass this on to the council; he is the only person who contacted me. I have yet to find one person who approved of this, said Councilwoman Carol Hendricks. There was no public information on this. Mayor Jeff Hyslop indicated he had no problem with whatever you do. Burkett, in making a motion to deny the ordinance change, requested the issue be brought up again but with more public input. Im requesting we have an open public meeting on this in September, he said. The police force has to lead the parade and well do as weve always done leave the decision up to the (police) chief. Vander Bloomen said the ordinance wont be enforced because our resources are tied up in the parade so we cant enforce it. If we put our stamp of approval on this, well suffer the consequences, said Hendricks. If a few tickets are given in appropriate places, word would get around. That ordinance clause I would like to see gone. Hyslop said most people are law abiding and obey the law, so he didnt want to open up the floodgates. The council decided to bring it back for public comments in September. In other action, the council: approved the recommendation of the city Plan Commission to annex the former Neros Supper Club property, now owned by First National Bank of Eagle River who petitioned for direct annexation; approved the resignation of police officer Rob Minx who accepted a position with the

Vilas County Sheriffs Department; opposed Assembly Bill 182 that would prohibit the city from placing delinquent utility bills on the subjects property tax bill; and approved a fireworks permit for July 4 and placement of temporary signs for the antique show at Northland Pines High School.

CONOVER The Flowage Preservation Alliance, a group committed to maintaining the Little Tamarack Flowage, will soon find out the cost of rebuilding the reservoir dam to state standards, according to alliance members. The alliance will host its annual meeting this Saturday, July 2, at 10 a.m. at the Conover town pavilion, when a report will be given. Town Supervisor Karl Jennrich, chairman of the towns dam committee, is expected to discuss the status of the dam study, funded by the town of Conover, at the meeting. The engineering study of the status and condition of the dam should be available to the town by the meeting, said alliance President Rich Ruffalo. Hopefully, the board of directors will have time to analyze the results and develop proposals and plans to move forward with the preservation of the flowage. Needless to say, this could be a very important meeting. The dam creating the Little Tamarack Flowage was constructed in 1942 to increase fire protection and opportunity for public recreation, especially fishing. The dam was permitted to Vilas County by the state and built to a design approved by Vilas County. The easements from property owners were obtained by the county and are still held in the countys name, according to information supplied by the alliance. Construction of the dam began in 1942, but within a year it failed. Efforts to get Vilas County to rebuild the dam were unsuccessful, perhaps because World War II was in the spotlight, said alliance member Sue Holloway, in a written historical background about the flowage and dam. Finally, the builder of the original dam took action, hired a bulldozer and filled the gap with earth from a nearby hill. The flowage filled to its present level and the excess water found its own spillway, south of the original dam site. Later, the town of Conover constructed East Flowage Road across the dam and placed a culvert to act as a spillway. The road and embankment have remained stable with no problems to this day, according to Holloway. Over 60-plus years, the Little Tamarack Flowage has developed into a 200-plus-acre body of water, including extensive areas of wetlands and bogs, wrote Holloway. The embankment is intact and the water levels of three adjoining lakes and their connecting waterways all benefit. But in 2008, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) found that the current dam is not technically

the same structure for which the original permit was issued. This apparently is a violation of state standards and herein lies the problem, wrote Holloway. Ownership of the dam is unclear because the replacement dam was never permitted. The state requires that a responsible party assume ownership of the dam and that it meet state engineering requirements. To date, neither Vilas County nor the town of Conover have stepped forward to assume ownership. The town of Conover, to its credit, took the initiative to fund an engineering study to determine what would be required to meet the states standards, said Holloway. It is this study that will be delivered to the town and alliance members this Saturday. Alliance members said they fear that the engineering report may show that the project is too costly for the town or the county to assume ownership. Then, the only alternative is for the state, through the DNR, to order the dam removed and draw down the flowage, reducing it to the original small streambed. The elimination of the flowage and its wetlands, its fishery and recreation, its flora and fauna, and the lowering of lake levels on the connecting lakes is what the Flowage Preservation Alliance is working very hard to avoid, said Holloway. Alliance members said the flowage landowners would see their former waterfront property values plummet if the flowage water is released. There are approximately 70 property owners around the flowage. However, the ecological impact of the loss of the Little Tamarack Flowage would be even more dramatic, said Holloway. The flowage and its connecting waterways and lakes (Baker, Marshall, Spring and Myrtle) are a unique combination of nature that results in a very diverse ecological area. More than half of the shoreline of the Little Tamarack Flowage is owned by Vilas County as forestland. This area is completely undeveloped and comprises the majority of the springs, wetlands and bogs of the flowage, according to Holloway. There are two public boat landings on the Little Tamarack Flowage, maintained by the DNR and Vilas County. Holloway said water quality has been measured for more than a decade for the DNR by citizen lake monitors, with water clarity consistently more than 8.5 feet. Springs are the source of most of the water in this chain of waterways and maintain it at a consistent water level.

Vilas County Court report

Contractor sentenced to jail, 1-year probation, restitution

An Eagle River contractor had a theft by contractor charge amended to misdemeanor theft in Vilas County Circuit Court last week and was sentenced to the county jail, probation and restitution. Kurt Andussies Jr., 49, of Eagle River, also pleaded no contest to an uttering a forgery charge and a deferred entry of judgment was entered on the Class H felony. Court records show that Andussies spent about $63,000 for personal use from escrow account draws that were intended to fund subcontractors and materials involving a condominium project in Land O Lakes between July 1, 2007, and July 1, 2009. The uttering a forgery charge was based on allegations that Andussies falsified funding requests and lien waivers while drawing about $674,000 from a construction loan account. Andussies and his wife, Diane, own and operate Andussies and Sons Custom Builders LLC. Charges against Diane L. Andussies were dismissed in March. Substitute Forest County Circuit Judge Leon Stenz sentenced Kurt Andussies to one year of probation, 30 days in the Vilas County Jail, with work-release privileges, and restitution to the victim to be determined at a hearing July 29 at 9 p.m. Other conditions of the sentence include that Andussies must take a business management class; no construction contracts without agents approval; any construction project must have its own account; copies of checks and lien waivers must be given to any client; and court costs. Conditions of Andussies deferred entry of judgment include committing no criminal offenses in the next 24 months, selling property in Phelps to use funds toward restitution and paying a minimum of 25% of the balance of the restitution on a year-round basis. In other felony cases, Vilas County Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III found probable cause that Joshua A. Leach, 22, of Eagle River, had committed a felony and he was bound over. An arraignment hearing was set for Aug. 10 at 9 a.m. He is charged with two counts of sexual assault of a child under the age of 16 and one charge of intimidating a victim. Leach also made an initial appearance on three new charges last week, including one charge of sexual assault of a child under 16 and two charges of exposing his genitals. A waiver of a 20-day time limit was granted and a preliminary hearing also was set for Aug. 10. Judge Nielsen allowed Leach to remain free on his $10,000 cash bail and approved a motion to modify his bail to allow employment at M&K Landscaping. According to the criminal complaint on the new charges, Leach was at Eagle Lake Park in December 2010 with two females, ages 13 and 14. Leach allegedly made out with one of the girls and grabbed her legs. He also allegedly displayed his penis and received oral sex from the other girl. Benjamin P. Brand, 35, of Eagle River, charged with battery of a peace officer, was bond over for arraignment and entered a not-guilty plea during a preliminary hearing in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. A pretrial conference was set for July 26 at 2 p.m. According to the complaint, Brand attempted to leave Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital, where he was taken to be treated for injuries following a car accident June 10. Vilas County Sheriffs Department Deputy Chris Petreikis was called to the scene to assist because Brand was still bleeding on the left side of his face and ear area. Petreikis attempted to handcuff Brand, but Brand allegedly spun around and struck Petreikis with a closed fist on the left side of his face and jaw. Petreikis then took Brand down and handcuffed him. The officer then placed Brand in a wheelchair and took him back into the hospital for medical assistance. According to the criminal complaint, officers later found out Brand was treated for a broken rib and collapsed lung and would be transported to Ministry St. Josephs Hospital in Marshfield for further medical treatment. Brands $500 cash bail had the following conditions: not to possess or consume intoxicants, no taverns or bars, and not to buy any alcohol. Jamie L. Clarke, 17, of Schofield, charged with battery by a prisoner, made an adjourned initial appearance last week and had a pretrial conference set for July 12 at 1:45 p.m. According to the criminal complaint, Clark was a prisoner in the Vilas County Jail April 28, 2010. He was playing cards at a table with inmate Jeffrey P. Rupert. During the incident, Clark apparently threw his cards at Rupert and Rupert later threw his cards at Clark. Both then stood up and Clark allegedly punched Rupert with a closed fist. Rupert sustained a small cut on his upper inside lip. Clark later admitted to investigators that he overreacted. Scott Dunberg, 48, of Arbor Vitae, sentenced Sept. 12, 2007, for a second-degree sexual assault of a child under 13 conviction, had a motion denied for post-conviction relief last week in Vilas County Circuit Court. Dunbergs motion stated that he posed no more risk to the community than he did during his previous release on bond prior to his conviction and prior to his sentencing in the case. Dunberg originally was sentenced to 23 years in the Wisconsin Prison System, including 13 years of confinement and 10 years of extended supervision. Court records indicate that Dunberg had sexual contact with an 11year-old girl between Oct. 1, 2006, and Jan. 4, 2007. Scott J. St. Germaine, 29, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with physical abuse to a child, made an adjourned initial appearance and a preliminary hearing was set for Aug. 1 at 2:30 p.m. St. Germaines bond was modified to allow him to see the victim and witness if supervised by an adult. According to the criminal complaint, St. Germaine had been watching the two children throughout the day May 13, 2011, in Lac du Flambeau, and they were getting him stressed out when he allegedly struck one of the children with the back of his hand. According to the complaint, he had been drinking from 5 to 8 p.m. Conditions of the $2,500 signature bond include no possession or consumption of intoxicants and no taverns. Corey L. Buckholz, 25, of Lac du Flambeau, had a false imprisonment charge dismissed and entered a notguilty plea of charges of misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct during a preliminary hearing last week. A pretrial conference was set for July 19 at 11:45 a.m. He allegedly pushed his girlfriend onto a bed and slapped her. Tashya M. Williams, 22, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with two counts of manufacturing or delivery of prescription drugs, was bound over for arraignment and entered a not-guilty plea. A pretrial conference was set for July 26, at 10:15 p.m. Richard C. Wildcat, 53, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with two counts of manufacturing/delivery of marijuana, had a pretrial conference set for Aug. 9 at 9:45 a.m. Wildcat allegedly sold 9.8 grams of marijuana in a controlled purchase Dec. 21, 2010, and 9.6 grams of marijuana Jan. 7, 2011, both in Lac du Flambeau.

Bog moved from channel on Three Lakes Chain
___________

BY NEWS-REVIEW STAFF
___________

The Three Lakes town crew has moved a section of bog that floated into the navigational channel between Townline Lake and Planting Ground Lake on the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes. Town officials contacted the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources last weekend and established a mitigation plan for clearing the navigational waterway. The area where the bog had moved to was a boating channel that was established with slow, no-wake regulatory buoys. The channel was passable

by only smaller boats, but all boats were warned to use caution in this area, said Police Chief Scott Lea prior to clearing the obstruction. Lea said any boaters who want to access the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes from the Townline Lake public boat landing will now be able to access Planting Ground Lake with no obstruction. Officials said the bog moved into the channel after storms dumped more than 4 inches of rain last week, raising the water level on the Chain and allowing winds to move the bog.

Heavy rainfalls this spring have slowed the progress of the road construction project in Three Lakes. Dewatering and preparing the roads could mean an additional $30,000 to $50,000 for the project, according to an engineer. --STAFF PHOTO

East School Street project delayed due to heavy rains

___________

BY VERONICA OLSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

The Three Lakes Town Board heard an update last week from MSA Professional Services representative Jim Bollmann regarding the East School Street construction project, delayed due to the recent rainfall. Bollmann said that the project was previously on schedule, but the recent heavy rainfall has presented new problems. The street, which is undergoing complete reconstruction, is now filled with water and needs to be drained, he said. The MSA engineer presented options to firm the road base after the torn-up street is drained, as well as the added expense of each option. The roads could be firmed up with sand or fabric which, Bollmann said, would not put the project over budget. At pre-

sent, there is not enough sand or fabric to do this job, so more would have to be obtained. Another alternative would be to use breaker run, or crushed rock, from the contractor Pitlik & Wick Inc., which Bollmann said is of good quality and provides frost protection as well. Bollmann stated that he was unsure which option was best at this point, but he will keep the board updated. If the breaker run was to be used, it would cost about $6,000 to make one road solid and, if all the streets end up requiring it, the project could be $30,000 to $50,000 over the original bid of $479,000. Bollmann suggested evaluating each road on a case-bycase basis. Board Chairman Don Sidlowski weighed in, saying, This is a million-dollar job and weve got to do it right.

Bollmann said the subgrade issues provide the greatest risk in terms of unknowns, but assured the board that the water issue was likely to be the most difficult hurdle of the project. To summarize where the project stands at this time, Bollmann said, Right now, we need it to dry out and well take it as we can. Bollmann went on to report on another aspect of the project, an issue raised by the Three Lakes School District. He was told the surface drains in the school parking lot are in poor condition. It was thought that the problem could be remedied in conjunction with the East School Street project. Bollmann said the 209 feet of pipe that is installed under the lot could be removed and the schools drain could be redirected to take water into

the towns storm sewer system, which would avoid a sidewalk drainage issue. The cost for this would be $14,420. Supervisor Ed Starke, who along with Sidlowski went to the school lot to assess the issue, stated, If were going to be down there (with the East School Street project), we should fix it right, but we should get the school to pay for part of it. Supervisor Jeff Bruss said the school district should pay for all of it, because the town would allow the school to use the towns storm sewer, and the East School Street project was likely to be over budget due to the issues caused by the heavy rain. A request will be made with school District Administrator George Karling to have a special school board meeting with members of the town board to discuss the issue.

Roger Luce of Rothschild has been named the new executive director of the Oneida County Economic Development Corp. (OCEDC). Luce was formerly with the Wausau Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Marathon County Economic Development Corp. With his tenure in Wausau, he was accountable for the implementation of the economic development strategy for Marathon County, including business retention, expansion and recruitment, entrepreneur development, management of the revolving loan funds, site development and marketing. Luce will assume his new duties in September, replacing the retiring Jim Kumbera as executive director of the OCEDC. In accepting the position, Luce said he is excited to be a part of the organization. Im really looking forward to the opportunity to get up there and get going, said Luce. I think there is a great group of people in place, and I

like the structure of how the corporation is set up. I think there is a lot of potential for economic growth in Oneida County. Bill Bell, president of the OCEDC, said Luce brings the right experience to the table. Roger has direct experience working on establishing business parks and facilitating revolving loan funds, he said. Those are two of the major job requirements for the directors position up here. I think Roger is going to be a very good fit. The OCEDC is a nonprofit corporation that receives annual funding from Oneida County, the city of Rhinelander and private businesses. A 17-member board of directors oversees the operation. Officers of the corporation include Bell, Presidentelect Bill Korrer, Secretary Tom Knudsen and Treasurer Kaye Jaeger. The OCEDC office is located in the lower level of the Rhinelander-Oneida County Airport.

Milfoil eradicated between Long Lake, dam

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

The Three Lakes Waterfront Association (TLWA) has eradicated Eurasian water milfoil between Long Lake and Burnt Rollways Dam on the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes, Tom Harris, president of the association, told the Three Lakes Town Board last week. The milfoil was hand pulled the previous year and miraculously did not return, said Harris. But, Harris reported, milfoil has been found in Virgin Lake on the southeast end of the Three Lakes Chain. He said action will be taken to pull the aquatic invasive species from this stretch of water this year. Harris also reported that there will be a meeting Saturday, July 23, at 9:30 a.m. at the Reiter Center concerning lake management planning. He also thanked town board members for their commitment to the TLWAs grant process. From an association perspective, he said there is still concern about slow, no-wake boating zones on the Chain. Were hoping that the fine report that was done by the

Act 31 Advisory Committee is not just collecting dust, he said. Jack Werner and Norris Ross also gave reports regarding Three Lakes waters, with Ross saying that the TLWA currently has received 23 grants which is equivalent to about $300,000. In other business, the board was told the primary election date for the Senate recall candidates will take place Tuesday, July 19, and the general election will take place Tuesday, Aug. 16. A public meeting will be held Wednesday, July 6, to inform the public on how state laws have changed regarding voter photo identification. The board directed Town Clerk Sue Harris to check on the Clerks Network on decisions other towns have taken regarding consumption of alcoholic beverages on town property, such as at a park. The issue arose in reference

to the Three Lakes Concerts in the Park summer music series at Cy Williams Park, where people often take alcoholic beverages to the event. The board also discussed the ordinance regarding minimum operation standards for businesses with liquor licenses and putting this issue on a future agenda. Board members passed a motion to adopt section 54.106 of Article IV Camping, as

amended and presented. This section gives the details on when and where camping is permitted in Three Lakes as well as particulars regarding campfires and fees for camping. The board also discussed plans for the librarys Americans with Disabilities Act ramp reconstruction. When the ramp plans are completed, library officials will present them to the board before any construction begins.

Vilas watercraft inspectors to converge on busy landings

Watercraft inspectors across Vilas County will once again converge on public boat landings over the extended Independence Day weekend to remind boaters to properly clean their equipment before entering or when leaving a water body. Recreational boating is the primary pathway for aquatic invasive species to move from one lake to another, according to Ted Ritter, Vilas County invasive species coordinator. While public awareness of proper boater hygiene is generally high amongst North Woods residents, the risk of boaters from out of the area accidentally introducing harmful life forms to our lakes or moving invasive plant fragments or contaminated water from one lake to another is strong incentive for watercraft inspectors to be at boat landings, he said. Approximately 20 of Vilas Countys busiest boat landings will be staffed with either volunteer or paid Clean Boats, Clean Waters watercraft inspectors who will log several hundred hours over the four-day weekend. Ritter said the effort is part of a statewide campaign to improve the behavior of as many boaters as possible during what is perhaps the busiest boating weekend of the year. But dont think the local effort will relax with conclusion of the holiday weekend, he said. Vilas County volunteers have been at or near the lead for several years in statewide accumulated seasonal watercraft inspection hours. In addition to that track record, another 2,600 hours of paid watercraft inspection time

this summer has been committed to by 13 lake organizations. A program coordinated by the Vilas County Land and Water Conservation Department employs six college student interns, who interact with boaters at 15 area boat landings while also earning academic credits. A successful pilot project using three students in 2010

paved the way for the 2011 program to expand to six students, said Ritter. Between volunteer and paid efforts, it is anticipated that more than 7,000 hours of watercraft inspection and boater education will be accounted for in Vilas County this summer. The boating public is encouraged to cooperate with all

boat landing watercraft inspectors and maybe even extend a word of thanks for the important work they are doing, he said. More information about Vilas Countys aquatic invasive species prevention and management program can be obtained from Ritter at (715) 479-3738 or by e-mail at teritt@co.vilas.wi.us.

Cloverland panel seeks boat inspectors

The town of Cloverland is currently looking for volunteers to help monitor public landings on Boot, Muskellunge, Pickerel and Snipe lakes Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons as a part of the Clean Boats, Clean Waters (CBCW) program. The trained CBCW volunteers who have devoted their time inspecting boats entering and leaving the boat landings have contributed to Cloverlands success in protecting the towns lakes from the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS), according to Cloverland Lakes Committee official James Lynn. Normally, CBCW monitors work with a partner. More than 80 volunteers have taken CBCW training and are willing to team up with new volunteers and provide onthe-job training. This year, Boot Lake will be given extra attention because it is the only lake in town with a Eurasian water milfoil infestation. To volunteer or for more information, contact Jeff Currie at (715) 479-2108 or curriefam@gmail.com. People can also contact any of the following lake coordinators: Roger Gerds on Boot Lake, (715) 479-3586 or dutch.gerds@gmail.com; John Kurhajec on Muskellunge Lake, (262) 878-4404 or john.kurhajec.b1h7@statefarm.com; Chuck Spitz on Pickerel Lake at (715) 3678025 or chuck.spitz@yahoo.com; and Noel Junkunc on Snipe Lake at (715) 479-0020 or njunkunc@nnex.net. The town of Cloverland will host a CBCW monitors thankyou picnic Aug. 20. To become involved in an area lake association, area residents can attend the following annual meetings during July: Boot Lake, time to be announced; Nelson Lake, July 2, 9 a.m. at the town hall; Snipe Lake, July 9, noon at the Snipe Lake boat landing; Sunset Lake, July 9, 4 p.m. at the Zimas residence; McDonald Lake, July 3, 10 a.m., at the Neilsons; and Muskellunge Lake, July 23, 9:30 a.m. at Kalmar Center. The next Cloverland Lakes Committee meeting will be Saturday, July 16, at 8 a.m. at the Town Hall, located at 5890 Perch Lake Road, north of Highway 70 West between Zeman and Sunset roads. The public is welcome.

Golf course task force developing list of revenue-increasing activities

___________

BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

A task force created to generate additional revenues for the Eagle River Municipal Golf Course developed its first list of possible activities at a meeting last week. Meanwhile, the task force postponed discussion on personnel management suggestions from Golf Course Advisory Committee Chairwoman Carol Hendricks. The list of new revenue sources included a Special Olympics golf tournament, expanding corporate golf/lodging packages and a high school alumni tournament. Meeting for the first time last week at City Hall, task force Chairman Jerry Burkett and members Chuck Bonson and Janet Fischer questioned course professional Brad Missling and course superintendent Ken Smith on what is presently being done to manage course play and offered encouragement to try some new approaches. The concept and scope of this committee, as I understand it, is to assist in making the course more profitable, said Burkett at the beginning of the meeting. Our role is not to look at spending, but how to increase revenue. There were a number of staff suggestions attached to the agenda authored by Hendricks and City Clerk-Treasurer Debbie Brown, which were tabled and could be brought up at a later time, according to Burkett. Among the suggestions related to personnel were attendance at only in-state conferences, no personal use of vehicles, additional duties for outside workers, cart management to be done by the groundskeeper and one person to run the golf school. They also questioned if the manager position should remain full time. We dont have the right to address these. This is not a hanging meeting and I will not

conduct one, Burkett told about one-half dozen citizens and golf course employees present. Anything having to do with staff, we dont have the right to address. Both Bonson and Fischer agreed with Burkett, saying their primary focus should be how to improve overall operations. Fischer likened it to a research committee taking a hard look at everything that could increase revenue. Burkett said he was excited to be named to this task force and even offered the first suggestion on increasing revenue an Eagle River Union High School/Northland Pines High School alumni golf tournament named after longtime high school golf coach Ken Check to be held the second weekend in October. Missling informed the board there already is an alumni tournament in September, but Burkett suggested expanding it. Make it a two-day tournament and work with area motels to get a special rate, he said. Bonson, who was in business for 50 years in Eagle River, predicted people will still golf, even in tough economic times. They may not go out West, but stay closer to home and, if they normally played 18 holes, they may play nine, but come back more often, Bonson said. Focus on customer service and they will likely come back. They may narrow their choice of area courses to one or two and their experience with the total package course, pro shop, restaurant, customer service will have them return. Customer service was the key, according to Fischer. In winter, I belong to one course, but golf at another due to customer service, she said. Asked if she was satisfied with customer service at Eagle River, her reply was not always. Burkett asked her to call that course and ask them for the top two or three things they do to attract customers. Golf professional Margo

Rogers-Anderson, an instructor at Eagle River, said private clubs tend to do a better job of customer service and suggested contacting private clubs for ideas. Missling told the task force he contacted area resorts about lodging/golf packages and has some agreements. Burkett wanted more of that effort with a specific focus. I want you to have a list of the top 100 Wisconsin corporations and let them know they can get, say, 10 golf and lodging (packages), said Burkett. You put together corporate packages. He said the thought is that corporations could provide these packages to their employees and management staff as a reward for superior work. Another idea was a Tuesday or Wednesday as a 54521 Day, with special rates or incentives to bring local people to the course. Burkett also

suggested a Special Olympics golf tournament. We could be the first to offer a Special Olympics golf tournament with special packages for participants, he said. There was a discussion on providing lockers or a bag storage area for golfers to rent, but it was agreed the basement of the clubhouse would not be suitable in its present condition. The task force said raising income by 10% would be the goal in the next 24 months. It also was decided comments left in suggestion boxes will be reviewed at monthly meetings rather than at the end of the season in late October. The next meeting was set for Tuesday, July 26, at 8 a.m., with the focus to be how to increase revenue and how to improve play this year, as well as in future years.

Free well water assessments offered to Vilas residents

The Vilas County Land and Water Conservation Department has teamed up with UWStevens Point to provide an opportunity for private landowners in Vilas County to test well water for free. Funding for the project, provided by Lumberjack Resource Conservation and Development Council, will pay for 140 groundwater tests in the county or about 10 free tests per town (not to include sites serviced by municipal well water). This is an extremely valuable opportunity for area residents, particularly those who have never had their water tested before, said Vilas County conservationist Carolyn Scholl, who is coordinating the event. I want to assure participants that test results will be kept confidential and they will be under no obligation to take corrective action regardless of test results. Several different tests will be performed on the well water samples, including total coliform bacteria and nitrate-nitrogen, two of the most common health-related water concerns. In addition, tests for pH, hardness, alkalinity, conductivity, chloride, corrosivity index, arsenic, lead and other metals will help give an indication of overall water quality. To preregister for the program, contact the Land and Water Conservation office at (715) 479-3747. The registration deadline is July 23. Randomly selected Participants will be randomly selected based on the number of registrations received and the areas of the county that they live in. Registrants who are selected to participate will be contacted about two weeks prior to the sampling date of Aug. 8, according to the Vilas County Land & Water Conservation Department. Residents will pick up sample bottles and specific instructions about water sampling prior to sampling day. Then, residents will collect their water sample Monday morning, Aug. 8, and drop it off the same morning at one of several designated points throughout the county. In September, participants then will be invited to participate in an education workshop to learn more about wells and groundwater resources. While water may appear clean and taste good, the only way to know for sure that it is safe to drink is to have it tested periodically, added Scholl. Most wells in Wisconsin produce safe drinking water, but about 10% of all water samples test positive for coliform bacteria, and another 10% contain levels of nitrates above the safe drinking water standard, according to department officials.

Walker named Three Lakes parade marshal

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

Jackie Walker has been named the parade grand marshal for the annual Three Lakes Fourth of July parade sponsored by the Three Lakes Lions Club. The parade, with the theme Celebrating Freedom, will begin at 9 a.m. Each year, the Lions Club names someone who we feel has made a difference in the Three Lakes community to be our grand marshal, said parade coordinator George Kveck. This year we are pleased to honor Jackie Walker of the Oneida Village Inn. Walker came to Three Lakes with her husband in 1972 and has been involved in the community ever since. The couple were pilots, managed the airport and ran a seaplane base and gift shop. In 1978, a friend asked them to temporarily manage Oneida Village Inn, which Walker continues to do to this day. Prior to her arrival in Three Lakes, Walker was a teacher. She was an exchange student at Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga., an all-black school, from 1959 to 1960. This was at the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, and I learned firsthand of the separation of blacks and whites in the South, said Walker. I was often not able to go places with my new friends because we couldnt ride on the same bus. Walker said she hasnt seen many changes in Three Lakes since she came here nearly 40 years ago, but mentioned that there have been a few. Truly, I havent seen too many changes, she said. The weekly cabin rentals have turned into condos. Camp Weekend used to be one of the busiest weekends of the summer, and now, most of the camps have disappeared. The arrival of the casinos has also put a dent into the visitors we used to get in downtown Three

Lakes. Walker keeps busy yearround, she said. She owns and runs Oneida Village Inn and restaurant, and has an active catering business. She works in all aspects of the hotel, restaurant and catering business, and said she spends about 30 hours per week cooking. She is well-known for her cheesecakes. In spite of working long hours, Walker finds time to have fun. She plays pool in the winter, while in the summer, she said she loves to golf and play horseshoes. Through Oneida Village Inn, Walker contributes to the community in many ways. She sponsors two pool leagues, as well as dart, horseshoe and dartball teams. There are three full weekends of pool tournaments in April. When Jackie Walker sponsors the womens pool tournaments, it is good for the entire town, said Kveck. The ladies come and spend their money at all the restaurants, bars and shops. Walker said giving to the community produces positive results.

I believe that if you think positively, what you give out, you get back, she said. This years parade marshal has allowed many organizations to use the Oneida Village Inn restaurant for fundraising events. Faith Lutheran Church and the Masonic Lodge hold their annual benefit fish fries there. A number of other organizations, including the Red Suspenders, Lions Club and Single Best Club, have benefited from her generosity. She has held a free pig roast for the community for several years. Walker is an honorary member of the Three Lakes Womens Club and was named Woman of the Year for 200809. She also has been honored with plaques from the dartball league and Faith Lutheran Church for the support she has given them throughout the years. Three Lakes is the singlebest town in America, Walker said. Being able to live, work and raise my family here has been an incredible life. Kveck said it took convincing to get Walker to acknowledge her role in the community.

Jackie was reluctant to accept this honor because she didnt realize just how much she has done for our community, he said. Every time someone is in need of something, Jackie is willing to jump in and help. Certainly, she is deserving of this award. Kveck said all area businesses, organizations, families and individuals can enter a float in the parade. Lineup for the floats will be from 8 to 8:45 a.m. in the Three Lakes School parking lot. The parade will begin at 9 a.m. The Three Lakes emergency service units are participating again this year, which we really appreciate, said Kveck. Were also having back many of the favorites that people want to see every year, including the Janesville Fife and Drum Corps, the Three Lakes High School marching band, Suzy Sunshine Clown and many more. Kveck said plaques will be awarded for the best entries in both citizen and commercial categories. For more information or to enter a float in the parade, contact Kveck at (715) 546-3431. Other activities will include a flea market after the parade, a Friends of Demmer Library book sale and an Aqua Devils Ski Show at 6:30 p.m. Fireworks will begin at dusk at Don Burnside Park. Pancake breakfast The Lions Club pancake breakfast will take place Monday, July 4, from 7 to 11 a.m. at the Three Lakes School cafeteria on School Street. All-you-can-eat pancakes and sausage, along with orange juice, milk and coffee will be $7 for adults and $4 for children. Kids 5 and younger will eat free. Revenue from the breakfast is a major source of funding for the parade, which includes several marching bands. Last year, the Lions served 725 breakfast meals and, this year, theyre shooting for more than 850.

Forest Service proposes treating conifers to prevent root disease

___________

BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH
NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR

___________

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest officials are proposing to prevent the spread of heterobasidion root disease (HRD), a fungal disease that primarily affects managed conifer stands. Commonly known as annosum root rot, the disease was first found in Wisconsin in 1993 and, in less than two decades, has spread into 22 counties, according to Paul Strong, forest supervisor. Forest officials are proposing to apply borax-based chemicals to conifer stumps of cut red pine, white pine, jack pine, upland white and black spruce, and balsam fir. The stump treatment would occur when cutting conifers within high and moderate root rot infection risk areas. Treatment would occur at the time of cutting, or within 24 hours, according to Strong. The purpose of this action is to prevent the introduction and spread of HRD and the resulting mortality of conifers on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, he said. Although HRD moves relatively slowly through roots and root grafts between trees, it can quickly move long distances in its spore form. Strong said thinning in a pine plantation could result in

multiple infections in a short period of time if an infected site is nearby and producing spores. Once a stump becomes infected, the pathogen will continue to spread through root grafts to adjacent uninfected trees, he said. Once in a stand, HRD is very difficult to eradicate and control. The forest supervisor said prevention has been found to be the only practical approach to controlling HRD. The potential for HRD to spread with the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is high as it has now been discovered within two counties (Oconto and Taylor) containing national forest lands, said Strong. Nearly 20% (more than 216,000 acres) of upland forest in the Chequamegon-Nicolet is in stands dominated by red pine, white pine, upland spruce or balsam fir all of which are susceptible to HRD infections, according to Strong. Strong said the borax stump treatments have been widely used and studied in the Northern Hemisphere. Borax stump treatments effectively prevent infection of conifer stumps not already colonized by HRD, he said. It will not stop the growth of the pathogen if the stump is already infected, nor will it prevent root transmission. Except in extreme circum-

stances, borax stump treatment would not occur on lands managed as wilderness, research natural areas, special management areas or old growth/natural features complexes. The Forest Service is seeking comments on the treatment proposal. Written, facsimile, hand-delivered, oral and electronic comments will be accepted for 30 calendar days following the publication of legal notice in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Written comments must be submitted to: Paul Strong, Forest Supervisor (care of project leader Lisa Helmig), USDA Forest Service, 1170 S. Fourth Ave., Park Falls, WI 54552; or fax to (715) 7625179.

Jim and Sally Ayers of Eagle River, longtime community supporters, have been named the Eagle River Fourth of July parade marshals. The parade is scheduled for downtown Eagle River Monday, July 4, starting at 11 a.m. This years theme is Down Home Pride. Jim and Sally Ayers have served our community as great volunteers and have played a major role in the creation and support of our snowmobile trails, said Kim Emerson, Eagle River chamber of commerce events coordinator. The Ayerses have a history of supporting volunteer organizations in Eagle River, especially related to snowmobiling. Both have been long-time, active members of the Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club. Jim Ayers was coordinator of the clubs trail map, was active in trail acquisition efforts, helped with trail maintenance and cochaired Sno-Eagles events, including the annual Weekend Away. Sally Ayers is a Department of Natural Resourcescertified snowmobile safety course instructor and was a founding member of Women on Snow in Eagle River. She also is on the board for the World Snowmobile Headquarters. As an Eagle River Lions Club member, Jim Ayers coordinated the building of the skateboard park and playground behind City Hall and most recently chaired construction of the new bathroom facility at Riverview Park. Both Jim and Sally have exemplified outstanding character and provided untold hours of community service as volunteers, as

role models and during community activities, related the nomination form for the 2011 parade marshal. Jim and Sally Ayers were among the local residents who traveled to Biloxi, Miss., in 2005, following Hurricane Katrina, to help rebuild a Boy Scout camp that was used by the Lions to train people to work with the blind. Jim Ayers, a longtime stone and block mason in the Eagle River area, had a trade they could use. Sally Ayers, a former Vilas County Circuit Court clerk, retired in 2003 after 27 years of service to the county, had the time to help others even 1,000 miles to the south of Eagle River. The Ayerses, who will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in August, said they were very honored to be named parade marshals. We were extremely surprised by the recognition, said Sally Ayers. There are so many people who give so much and a lot of people are deserving of this award. Jim Ayers said the theme of the parade, Down Home Pride, is something the couple are very familiar with.

I was born in Eagle River and Sally grew up in Conover, he said. We both went to school here and made a living here. We are proud to be a part of the community. F-16 flyover The chamber also announced there will be a flyover of two F-16 jets during the Eagle River Fourth of July parade. The F-16 flyover is being provided by the 148th Fighter Wing, the Duluthbased Air National Guard Wing, said Emerson. The 148th, home of the Bulldogs, boasts over 1,000 members who live and work throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Any business or organization interested in entering a unit in this years parade should call the chamber of commerce at (715) 479-6400. Step off for the parade will be at 11 a.m. at Eagle River City Hall. The parade route will again start at the corner of Silver Lake Road and Wall Street. A Fourth of July fireworks display will be held at Hi-Pines Campground at dusk.

Economic development corp. sets Northwoods Angels event July 6

The Vilas County Economic Development Corp. (VCEDC) announced that the Northwoods Angels Network will host its second event Wednesday, July 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Eagle Waters Resort, located at 3958 Eagle Waters Road in Eagle River. The VCEDC agreed in August 2010 to form an angel network in Vilas County and held its inaugural event Dec. 29, 2010. This new network of angel investors, or high net worth individuals who invest in select startup and growth companies, is the 23rd such group to affiliate with the Wisconsin Angel Network. The Northwoods Angels Network will champion select entrepreneurs who want to establish high-growth businesses in the county, to assist in growing the regional economy and to give investors an opportunity for a substantial return on their early-stage equity investments. The event is open to any interested accredited investors or individuals who want information about angel investing.

Travis and Shana Tomlanovich of Eagle River recently organized a group mission trip to take donations and physical help to the tornado victims of Joplin, Mo. My husband is a deacon for our church, Land O Lakes Bible Church, which helped fund the trip, collect donations and was a big support of this mission, said Shana Tomlanovich. With family connections in Joplin, we partnered up with Joplin Family Worship Center, a church untouched by the tornado that was taking in donations and providing support and necessities to those in need. Barry Scheuermann, of Parrish, whose daughter lives in Joplin, joined in the efforts, collecting items in Rhinelander and contacting the media to make announcements. Also volunteering were Chris Petts of Conover, Molly and Keith Liska of Evansville (formerly of Eagle River), Brad Samuelson of Eagle River, Jane Reilly of Land O Lakes and Troy Scheuermann of Parrish and Talin Scheuermann of Plover. Beattie Family Dental in Eagle River volunteered as a a drop point for donations

Loons: symbols of the states wildest country
THE SCRIBBLERS concentration was on floating bobbers when the loon surfaced within two feet of the outboard, a startling yet stunning sight with its black-andwhite body gleaming in the sunlight as water ran from its welloiled feathers. Its hard to appreciate the impressive size of the common loon 2 feet in length with a 58-inch wingspan until they are swimming so close that you can see the multicolored neck feathers change from green to blue and back again, depending on the angle of view. As it swam by the boat, it submerged its bill and part of its head to look beneath the surface, presumably to locate its mate or whatever school of fish might have led the two of them into the narrow lake channel. The eye on our side was just above the waters surface, and Im guessing the eye on the other side of the tilted head was just below the waterline. It was one of those moments when you know why youve picked Wisconsins North Woods for fishing adventures. This is the home of the loon and other endangered wildlife species, the eagle, osprey and blue heron included. It is some of the states wildest country. You cannot fish here, or boat or ski or just sit on the beach, without developing an appreciation for the scenery of this blessed land of lakes. If you are not in awe over sparkling reflections, brilliant sunsets and the beauty of wild birds and animals, youre missing one of the key reasons for being here.

In the Outdoors
By Kurt Krueger
Loons are a good subject this week because the fullfledged summer vacation season will arrive at a time when loons are caring for their newly hatched young a vulnerable time. Mid- to late June marks the end of city schools and has become the true start of the week-to-week vacation season, a time when recreational boat traffic swings into full gear. And with a late spring, were headed for conflict between a late hatch of chicks and one of the busiest boating periods of the year. Eagles, muskies and snapping turtles arent the only detriment to these birds, not when humans are at play in high-powered watercraft.Without some caution on the part of boaters and anglers on busy lakes in the weeks ahead, a young loon could very well be killed. And it might be that the bird isnt hit by a boat, but that the adult birds are distracted enough that a predator gets an advantage. The vast majority of wildlife enthusiasts agree that the yodels and calls made by loons are part of what makes the lakes of Vilas and Oneida counties a special place to spend time. Annual population surveys done

by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) show there is no other two-county area in Wisconsin that harbors more nesting pairs of loons. You can call the loon an indicator species for the health of our lakes. Their presence means we havent so badly screwed up the natural habitat or ruined the tranquility they need to co-exist. A pair of loons can be found on most decent-sized lakes here two or three pairs on some of the larger, clearer lakes. As someone who loves to photograph wildlife, I would defend anyones right to attempt to sneak within photo distance with a large zoom lens. But if the birds are disturbed by your presence, repeatedly diving to avoid your canoe or boat, then use good judgment and leave that bird or birds alone. Some loons are very tolerant of people, so its important that people not push the subject with an intolerant bird. In fact, this year I had a pair of loons swim right up to my boat as if they were trying to make the front page. Ive been told there are lakes where loons actually search out anglers looking for minnows, as if theyve taken food from anglers or boaters before. I would hope no one would purposely harass a loon by buzzing it with a boat and forcing it to dive. But if you witness such an event, dont look the other way. Call a conservation warden or go talk to the perpetrators if possible. Keep in mind that loons you see in the open water over the holiday weekend may have chicks with

them, possibly riding on their backs. Avoiding them with your boat, if possible, is the conservation-minded thing to do.

The more people we educate, the more chance that these symbols of the truly wild places will be around forever.

Fishing with the Guides

By George Langley

Try mornings, evenings as boat traffic climbs

With summer weather finally here, anglers will see the water temperature somewhere near normal. It has been a long, slow climb to get there, with many detours along the way. Anglers will see a huge increase in water usage beginning this week, so it might be better to think about mornings and evenings on the heavily used waterways like the Chain of Lakes. Water levels are much better at this point than last year, with the heavier rains last week helping. Weed growth is better now, but has been quite slow in developing due to the cold weather. The weed growth will really improve this week. Walleye fishing is good at this point, especially for those anglers willing to take advantage of the mayfly hatch by using crawler parts and smaller leeches. Anglers have been working mud flats in the evenings with good results. There is a part of the walleye population which will stay on the rocks during this period, so minnow action has continued. Walleye numbers have been quite good, but we have not seen a lot of size in the last week or so. Bass action has been great, with both good numbers and nice size being reported throughout the area. The spawn is over, so the smallies are taking their midsummer position on the rock bars on all lakes. Look for these hard-bottom edges and fish with crayfish imitations for best success, as they are feeding almost exclusively on crayfish. Tube jigs and crankbaits are best, but leeches with red or orange jig heads also will work. Largemouths also are in their summer habitat in the heavy cover and weeds. Any type of bluegill imitation will catch these fish, and they are starting to work surface baits heavily. Muskie action has been pretty good, and guides expect the warmer weather to bring out more aggression in these fish. The females are all recovered from the spawn at this point and starting to feed more. This means bigger fish. All bait types are working for muskies, with bucktails still working the best. Fish the weeds throughout the day now, and expect increased action in the evenings. Panfish are hitting well now, with bluegills still leading the pack for action. Worms or waxworms fished in the weeds will catch gills on nearly every lake. Perch are in the deeper edges of the weeds and hitting leeches and fathead minnows. Crappies have gone deeper, but if anglers can find those deeper brush piles, they will catch crappies on minnows and small tube jigs. It should be a good week for fishing as the warm weather returns to North Woods lakes. Good luck and good fishin.

A total of 98 teams participated in the Professional Musky Tournament Trail event on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes last weekend.

The tournament also has a weighted point system, with more points awarded for catching larger fish. Fishing conditions for this years tournament were slightly difficult, according to the tournament director, as they happened in very sunny and warm weather after a five-day cold, rainy spell. Eagle River continues to be a great muskie fishery, as shown by the number of fish caught during very sunny and warm conditions, said Tim Widlacki, president and tournament director of the PMTT. He said there also were many smaller muskies caught throughout the tournament, as well as several larger legal muskies hitting short.

Most fireworks illegal in state forest, parks

Camping in a state park or forest for the Fourth of July? There are lots of ways to enjoy the holiday in the parks, but park officials ask visitors to enjoy fireworks displays in nearby communities not at picnic areas, campsites or other areas within state parks and forests. Fireworks are illegal in Wisconsin state parks and forests, according to Jason Fritz, chief ranger for the Wisconsin State Parks program. For the safety of our guests and our resources, our rangers strictly enforce the no fireworks laws, Fritz said. Fourth of July favorites, the sparkler and the snake, are not defined as fireworks per Wisconsin state law, but most park and forest rangers and superintendents would rather not see them at all because they are a fire hazard. A citation for illegal fireworks in a state park or forest can cost the lawbreaker up to $200 and parents could be liable for the full costs of putting out a fire started by their children playing with or setting off fireworks. In fact, anyone responsible for starting a forest fire in Wisconsin is liable not only for the cost of putting the fire out, but also for any damages, noted Catherine Koele, forest fire prevention specialist with the Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry. As of the third week of June, fire danger levels throughout Wisconsin were low across the state, but even in low fire danger times, fireworks can start wildfires. So far in 2011, DNR records show 413 fires have burned nearly 400 acres in Wisconsin.

WIAA makes changes for basketball season

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) Board of Control approved a number of winter sports coaches recommendations at its June meeting, with the most significant changes impacting basketball. The board supported an amended recommendation to move the girls basketball season back to its traditional dates, with the State Tournament a week prior to the boys tourney starting in 2012-13. Pending approval and clearance from the University of Wisconsin, the State Girls Basketball Tournament will be scheduled at the Kohl Center when available. The UW Field House has been identified as the preferred alternative site if the Kohl Center is unavailable. The Super Tuesday Sectional basketball games introduced last season in Division I were eliminated. The board supported the coaches recommendation to schedule the tournament series in 2011-12 the same in all divisions with Regional games played on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, and the Sectional semifinals and finals played the following week on Thursday and Saturday, respectively. The Super Tuesday games were started last year because the Division I State Tournament teams were reduced from eight to four. In other board action involving basketball, the board approved a measure that allows the highestseeded team to host the Regional final game beginning in 2011-12, Also, Sectional half-brackets (16 teams) will be seeded in divisions 2 to 5 unless 60% of the schools in the respective half-bracket expresses opposition to the released groupings by Dec. 1. If opposed by the required percentage of schools, the Sectional half-brackets will be divided into two Regional brackets as it has been traditionally. The board also supported an amended recommendation that addresses a coachs failure to provide appropriate materials for the seeding meeting, as well as the State Tournament souvenir publication. Beginning in 2011-12, schools will lose the coaching box and the ability to host any home tournament games in the current season for ignoring seed meeting responsibilities. Coaches will lose the use of the coaching box for the State Tournament if materials are not provided in a timely manner for the State Tournament publication. While the basketball season is still several months away, it looks like the WIAA is ready for another season.

SOFTBALL CLASSIC Three Lakes held its 31st annual Softball Classic Friday through Sunday at the Recreation Park, with 19 mens teams competing. A Milwaukee team sponsored by Oneida Village Inn won first place and $600, coming back through the losers bracket and beating the undefeated Bucketheads of Rhinelander in back-to-back games to win the title. Bucketheads placed second and won $400, while Miller of Eagle River was third and Rummys I of Sugar Camp finished fourth. The weekend also included a four-team Little League tournament, with Crandon placing first and Eagle River winning the consolation game. Action on the field (clockwise from above) included a mighty swing from a hitter, a close play at second base, stretching for the ball at first base and tagging home plate as a runner closed in. --Staff Photos By ANTHONY DREW

Once again the attraction will be the helicopter golf ball drop with the chance of winning $3,000. Up to 600 golf balls will be dropped from a helicopter onto the golf course and the numbered ball closest to the pin will win the 50/50 pot. The other half is donated to the Strong Kids Campaign. Second-place prize will be an annual YMCA family membership and the thirdplace prize will be an annual YMCA adult membership. Golf ball drop tickets are on sale at the YMCA of the Northwoods and Pinewood Country Club for $10 per ball. Entrants need not be present to win. All proceeds will go to the YMCAs Strong Kids Campaign, a financial assistance program which allows children to participate in YMCA programs who could not otherwise afford to do so. To register or for more information, call the YMCA at (715) 362-9622. To receive a free golf ball drop ticket, register by July 1.

The 11th annual OAM Alumni Hockey Tournament returns to the Eagle River Sports Arena Saturday, July 2, featuring three-on-three games played throughout the day with former Northland Pines players battling on the Dome ice. The OAM tournament is a hockey fundraiser in memory of the late Orrin A. Mangseth, a former Northland Pines hockey coach and hockey supporter. Pines alumni have made this a traditional day of hockey, coming back each year to bump elbows with teammates and friends. This has been a great opportunity to get together and relive the days of old, said Tom Obrodovich, one of the three originators of the event along with Al Geiger and David Cox. We are very fortunate that all the players want to come back and play together each year, said Obrodovich. About 16 teams (comprised of about 100 players) will be divided into four divisions, with games starting at 9 a.m. and running on both ends of the Dome until about 5 p.m. The tournament has raised well over $50,000. Funds have gone toward the new locker room, helped the junior varsity program get started, paid ice fees for those in need and purchased jerseys.

The tournament brings players from all over the country back to their roots in Eagle River. Each year, you never know for sure who is going to show up, but traditionally there has been some great hockey played and some not so good, said Obrodovich. Regardless of the outcome, each player leaves the Dome reliving the opportunity to strap em on one more time with their past teammates. Cox said it also takes a lot of volunteers to bring the event and players together. Volunteers are needed for score keeping, running the clock and cooking food. Hamburgers and brats will be available throughout the day. We thank all those who have volunteered their time over the years and look forward to their help in the future. We also thank the ERRA for allowing us the opportunity to take the rink over for a day, said Cox. Geiger said the one-day tournament is an opportunity for players to meet up with former coaches, players and fans. Eagle River and Northland Pines hockey has a great tradition, and this tournament is part of that, he said. For more information or to sign up as an individual or team, contact Obrodovich at (715) 479-7627.

Weather halts two tries for racing in Eagle River

After two attempts at running the popular Budweiser Night at Eagle River Speedway, it was Mother Nature who took the checkered flag. The races were postponed Tuesday night and again Thursday, the rescheduled night. Not only didnt it stop raining from Tuesday night, the track and the grounds needed the weather to help us get the track ready for Thursday night. That didnt happen, said Mark Glembin of Eagle River Speedway. The rain Thursday morning clinched the victory for Mother Nature. The one-third-mile clay track will now get ready for the Wisconsin Special Olympics night this coming Tuesday night. Parents can take children, as they will have the chance to get autographs and pictures with the drivers during the intermission. Wisconsin Special Olympics night at Eagle River Speedway will include heat and feature racing in B-Mods, Street Stocks, Pure Stocks, Micro Sprint 600s and the Junior Sprints. Hot laps will start at 7 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:30 p.m.

The YMCA of the Northwoods Eagle River Branch was temporary home to a top USA weightlifter. While vacationing in Three Lakes, Alicen Lyrenmann could not afford to miss her training sessions. Lyrenmanns father found the YMCA through the website and was pleased to hear we had platforms, plates, as well as reasonable guest pricing, to accommodate them while vacationing, said YMCA spokesperson Stacy Stroud. Lyrenmann trains daily at her familys gym in Freeport, Ill., and travels four hours every weekend to train with her coach. Lyrenmann has placed first or second in the school-aged, junior and collegiate national competitions from 2008 through 2011. Lyrenmann is currently training for USA Weightlifting Nationals, and her results can be found on usaweightlifting.org after her mid-July competition. I want to thank the YMCA of Eagle River for welcoming me, said Lyrenmann. You have an awesome facility, and the staff and members were so welcoming. Thank you for having me.

Creed summarizes our faith in America

HERE ARE some words to ponder as we celebrate this years Independence Day weekend. While things have changed dramatically in recent years, some things never change. I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon these principals of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my Country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies. Thats The American Creed, written in 1917 by William Tyler Page, an employee of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., as an entry in a wrtiting contest shortly after the United States entered World War I. The judges selected Pages entry out of thousands because, in just 100 words, he gave the best summary of the political faith of America. Page incorporated passages and phrases from the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitu-

It seems we have millions of people living in America who dont like the freedoms, the rules that we have. They break the laws, commit crimes, dont take responsibilty for their actions, avail themselves of our generosity and generally reap the benefits that our system offers while draining our energy. With very little effort, they could leave America for greener pastures, but they would never do that because most other countries wouldnt put up with their entitlement attitude and behavior. On the other hand, millions of immigrants come here with nothing. They quietly work long hours, long days doing hard, dirty work, often risking their safety. They live away from their families, often in substandard facilities, just for the opportunity that someday they can experience the American dream. Maybe we should take stock of the situation? Shouldnt we welcome those hardworking immigrants and give the boot to a like number of the unproductive ones among us? * * * ABOUT 26 years ago, I wrote in this space: A Toronto real estate broker has made the following suggestion. Lets sell Canada to the United States for $16 trillion. He reasoned, that much money would let every Canadian retire immediately. And the United States would get Canadas gas, oil, water and other mineral resources, plus enough job openings to put to work all this countrys unemployed. I wonder if that offer would still be on the table. The broker didnt say who would get the sales commission! * * * LAST WEEK, John Stossel had an author on his show who has a new book out that makes an argument that

Legislative approval of a bill to make Wisconsin the 49th state in the country to allow citizens to carry concealed firearms is great news, but well have to take the bad with the good because of certain flaws in the legislation thats headed to Gov. Scott Walkers desk. After the first two attempts failed at the hand of former Gov. Jim Doyles veto pen, Republicans who control both houses of the Legislature and the governors office are proclaiming victory. Because the final bill includes provisions Gov. Walker sought requiring a permit system and mandatory gun safety training, it is expected the governor will make it law. The law becomes effective four months after it is signed. Though some Republicans wanted a concealed carry law that allowed law-abiding citizens to carry firearms without a permit or training, common sense prevailed. Exempt from the training requirements are members of the military, retired law enforcement officers and anyone who has passed a hunters safety course. Under the bill, the state Department of Justice would have to issue permits to state residents 21 and older who get training and clear a criminal background check to determine if they are felons or otherwise prohibited from carrying guns. The five-year permits will cost $50. On the down side, legislators retained language in the bill that will allow state government to keep secret the names of permit holders, thwarting the states open records law and open government in general. Newspapers across the state had supported keeping the identity of permit holders public. The bill also allows permit holders to carry loaded, uncased guns in their vehicles which isnt an enormous safety issue as long as permit holders are truly carrying those firearms for personal protection, and not, say, recreational hunting. It will be interesting to see how the law impacts Native Americans. In past years, tribal members have won liberalized gun rights based on law modifications that were intended for persons with disabilities. Overall, its about time Wisconsin joins the 48 other states where people engaged in criminal activity have to wonder who might be, as they say, packing heat.

America is at a historic turning point. Weve been at the crossroads as a nation before and weve always been able to survive. But will we survive this crisis? He said American history shows a pattern that repeats itself every 50 years. The last 50-year period ended in the 1960s, so were at the crisis point now. In this 50-year cycle, our leaders screw things up so bad that we need to stop what were doing and fix things before we can proceed. He says nearly everything in the country is broken and needs to be fixed. Politicians over the years have made promises that cant be kept. Entitlements are unsustainable. We must deal with our annual budget deficits and slow the growth of the national debt. The question is, Do we have the willpower, the commitment and leaders with the backbone to tackle the issues? The problems have no easy solutions. They will take sacrifices from all age groups and classes. There are no other choices, the problems must be fixed. The world has changed so much from the way it was in the 1960s. Many people today question our resolve to fix the problems. Are we willing to reboot, to renegotiate the promises and programs that people have become dependent upon? What will happen if we dont?

My interview with Dr. Death

DR. JACK Kevorkian died June 3 at a hospital in Michigan after suffering from kidney failure and pulmonary problems. He was 83. Kevorkian helped more than 130 people to die who were terminally ill and in pain. And as you may know, physician-assisted suicide is illegal in Michigan. I had the opportunity to meet him in 1996, when Don Hewitt, then executive producer of 60 Minutes, asked me to fly to Detroit to interview Kevorkian. It seemed that he agreed to be interviewed by 60 Minutes only if I would be the one to ask the questions. Why would Jack Kevorkian want to talk to me? I felt fine! Kevorkian was an interesting man. I found out during our interview that he was driven by his compassion to help people who were in desperate pain and suffering to end their lives humanely. He thought it was cruel to not allow people who had no hope of recovering from their illness, and who were suffering horribly, to seek help to die peacefully and on their own terms. He took on the mantle of helping people die with dignity. I can remember the first question I asked: Is there a good way of dying naturally? Kevorkian replied, I dont know. I think there is. I think most people would pick sudden heart attack and in their sleep. We assume thats the best way to die, because you never know. I would agree with Dr. Kevorkian. I dont think many people would disagree whove witnessed a loved one in the end stages of a terminal disease. Then I asked him: When do you decide that a person probably would be best to go? He replied, Well, actually the patient decides when its best to go. But is he or she a good To ROONEY, Pg. 17A

Dont forget safety, courtesy

As you celebrate the birthday of the greatest free country the world has ever known next Monday, July 4, we ask that residents and visitors alike act with responsibility in mind. Parents need to hear that thousands of young children are treated in hospital emergency rooms each year for injuries associated with fireworks much of it legal. Sparklers can burn at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Safety begins with vehicle and boat operators who are sober. It continues with boaters who know the law, including no-wake areas, waterskiing hours, spotter requirement and special rules for personal watercraft. Treat our visitors as you would want to be treated.

Old-timers are my heroes

WHERE HAVE YOU gone, Joe DiMaggio? Where have you gone, all you old-timers? I dont know, even after watching the movie a bunch of times, whether Dustin Hoffman ever did find Joe DiMaggio, but last Saturday I know I found and enjoyed a visit with one of the true and few old-timers left in Sayner. I stopped by his cabin to razz him a little about two northern pike expeditions he and I shared separately the day before. I was headed for a favorite pike lake about three oclock Friday, about to turn into a two-rut road to the lake, when I caught long-time friend Buster Thomas coming out. Dont bother with them here today, he admonished.

Ive been here half the day and only caught five. After Buster headed home, I headed for the landing. Ten minutes later, I was throwing my first casts with my most secret of northern pike secret weapons. In my tackle box, I have several lures, each of which set me back roughly half a weeks paycheck, but on this particular lake they never get a drop of water on them. Instead, I throw one lure exclusively, that being a three-inch imitation of another more fa-

mous lure for which I paid the princely sum of $1.75. Bottom line is that in about two short hours of fishing, I caught 10 pike Friday afternoon, keeping one 2-footer to eat, throwing the rest back to fight another day. And that is what led me to stop by Busters cabin the next day to, well, Ill admit it, to gloat a little. After I got in my opening salvo, the two of us went inside the vertical half-log cabin, and there we sat talking about old times and oldtimers. Many of those old-timers, men whom I looked up to just as 19th-century pioneers looked up to men like Jim Bridger and Kit Carson, are gone now, gone maybe to the To MAINES, Pg. 17A

OP-ED/READER OPINION

Leinies Guys float to boycott Eagle River

Dear Editor: This is an open letter to Eagle River City Clerk/Treasurer Debbie Brown: On behalf of the Leinies Guys, Id like to respond to Debbie Browns warning at the recent city council meeting. Three questions for you, Debbie: How many open containers of alcohol have the Leinies Guys distributed in the past 10 years? (The cans of beer are parade souvenirs when and where the recipients choose to consume the contents is up to them.) How many individuals have ever received more than a single can of beer from the Leinies Guys at the parade? How many people under the age of 21 have ever received a beer from the Leinies Guys? The answer to all three questions is zero. Im not sure what the big deal is, but the city council needs to figure out that this is a tourist community and letting the tourists have some fun makes economic sense. Chief Vander Bloomen is right when he says that this could be beneficial to downtown if its done right. Consider your warning heeded, Debbie, the Leinies Guys will not be appearing in the Eagle River parade again until the council quits taking themselves so seriously. We will be at the Three Lakes and Conover parades, where freedom and fun on the Fourth of July are still allowed. God Bless America! Dan Moericke, Leinies Guy Wausau and town of Washington

same place as Joe DiMaggio. When I think of some of them, I think of old Mike Froelich, a man who could coax a bass into his boat while fishing the Sahara desert. I think of men who trapped, roamed the woods and killed more bucks, ducks and partridges in a season than most do in a lifetime, men like Boy Ellerman and Leonard Olson and Em Froelich and Millard Long and Pop Dean and on and on and on. I sat at the feet of such men as a very young boy and listened to their hunting and fishing stories, some of which Im sure were embedded with at least with a grain or two of truth, and I wished for nothing more than to grow up like them. Herb Warner, one of the nicest guys and best friends a person could ever want, taught me much history of the town

of Plum Lake. Herb, who passed away earlier this year, was a historian, and I only wish Id had the sense to record what he had to say, for with his passing there is one more voice of the past that will nevermore be heard. As I think about it, all the really old, old-timers of Plum Lake are gone now, the founding fathers of the Sayner, Brooker, Ahlborn, Froehlich, Warner, Long and other families who shaped and formed my town from the beginning. Sadder yet, at least for me, is the fact there are precious few old-timers left, all of them in their 80s now, who represent the second generation of Plum Lake natives. There is Neal Long, my uncle and, and for all intents and purposes, second father who, if my dad wasnt around to witness one of my many boyhood transgressions, did not hesitate to whop me on the behind himself to set me back on the straight and narrow. Beyond that, what woods and waters wisdom my dad

didnt teach me, Uncle Neal did, and Id like to think at least a few of those lessons took hold to the point where I consider myself at least fair to middling when it comes to outdoor skills. Another uncle half the old-timers in Sayner are related to me at least in some shirttail fashion Uncle Dick Brooker, also did much to shape me in my early years. In particular, when I was between the ages of 12 and 16 and still too young to legally hunt alone, Uncle Dick oftentimes filled in as a hunting partner and mentor when my dad was off in South Dakota pheasant hunting or in Canada moose hunting. Junior DeWitt, and I dont mean to embarrass him by saying this, was one of my biggest boyhood idols. He was a crackerjack athlete who could pick up a softball and fire it from the outfield fence to home on the fly. Of course, there were several times when he not only threw home on the fly but all the way to the backstop.

To this day, Junior knows more secret spots for fishing and hunting in the town of Plum Lake than any other man alive, and I know for a fact no one enjoys telling stories about them some half true more than Junior. He is, like most of those few other Plum Lake natives in their 80s, just plain fun to listen to, and if yo have the good sense to really listen, you will learn something you never knew before. It saddens me to think that, in the next decade or so, I will be asking of most of these remaining old-timers, Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? That said, I will always be glad I knew them, along with the generation before them, and I hope at some time, when I am an 80-plus oldtimer, some young gaffer will say of me, Hes one of the last, best old-timers left. I only hope I live up to those old-timers who have been, and still are, my heroes.

Would like to see Vilas as silent sports mecca

Dear Editor: As you may know, GRABAAWR, a sponsor for cyclists across Wisconsin, hosts many bicycle trips throughout Wisconsin. On Sunday, June 19, over 400 bikers in Land O Lakes set out to ride between 60 or 100 miles a day. June 19 turned out to be very cold, continuous rain, with traffic splashing puddles of water on the cyclists and clouds of mosquitoes. The first bikers, in the 100miles-a-day group, arrived at our rest stop in Presque Isle at 7:20 p.m. Despite the weather and bug conditions, they asked about our town and enjoyed the North Woods. Many were from other states. Community civic groups, churches, schools, etc., provided food, rest centers and planned weeks ahead to welcome biking groups. This is a fundraiser for towns in Vilas County. In Presque Isle, it will provide funds for maintaining our bike trail. In Boulder Junction, the eighth-grade class trip will benefit. Allowing all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in Vilas County would not be compatible with our goals. We want to promote silent sports. These sports have contributed most to our community, in funds and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Bicyclists are becoming a part of the North Woods. As citizens, we hope to extend our bike trails. ATVs are not compatible with bicyclists. I strongly support the issue of licensing pedal bikes. I hope Wisconsin will reinstate licensing. That measure will alleviate some of the arguments. Give us one county in Wisconsin for silent sports. Shirlee Mayer President Presque Isle Pedalers

Shoot-Out is finest event in town

Dear Editor: Hats off to event Chairman Jim Leatzow, his committee and the huge group of volunteers who have made the fourth annual Three Lakes Shoot-Out and Fly-In such a huge success. This event, in four short years, has become the premier event for the town of Three Lakes, hands down. It draws a huge crowd into the community, literally from coast to coast, providing an unmatched economic boost to the business community as a whole, not to mention some thrilling and exciting entertainment. Out-of-town attendees and participants begin coming into town midweek and make their economic presence felt for the next five days. This is something that is sorely needed in the community and Leatzow has provided a venue which appeals to people of all ages and interests and is an outstanding day of entertainment, unmatched in the area. The other major benefactor of this outstanding event, and major contributor to the events success, is the Three Lakes Fire Department, which receives all proceeds to be used for the construction of the much-needed second fire house and associated equipment. Leatzow and his group have not only produced an outstanding entertainment event, but have showcased the most under-touted attributes of our town the Worlds Largest Inland Chain of Lakes. It also showcases an airport which has the finest and longest grass strip in the state and with some vision and initiative on the part of the local town fathers, could become an even more significant year-round economic contributor to the town. Most importantly, it showcased the phenomenal group of unsung heroes in our community who give freely of their time and energy to make this a more enjoyable place for people of varied interests to live or visit. How about a community party and some well-earned recognition for the huge group of people who worked this outstanding event? They are true doers in our community. Just as a side observation, at 7 a.m. on the Sunday following the Shoot-out on Big Stone Lake, we picked up our pontoon boat at the Sunset Grill to take back home as it was used in the Shoot-out. If one had not known there was a significant invasion of boats, planes, motorcycles and people the day before, it would have been nearly imposcause of doctor-assisted suicide in this country. His answer: Maybe, sure. Where is he, where is she? At the end of the interview, I asked Kevorkian if he was worried about going to prison. No, never. Am I a criminal? he replied. The world knows Im not a criminal. What are they trying to put me in jail for? Youve lost common sense in this society because of religious fanaticism and dogma. Youre basing your laws and your whole outlook on natural life on mythology. It wont work. Thats why you have all these problems in the world. Jack did go to prison after he was convicted of second-degree murder in 1999 and was sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison for personally injecting a man and causing his death. The mans death, by Dr. Kevorkians hand, was telesible for any observer to detect that such a massive event had occurred on the site and lake in the previous 24 hours. Everything was immaculately cleaned up, placed back into its normal state, and the pristine beauty of the morning was unmatched. Our ride home saw early morning fishermen/women, kayakers, canoeists, people just sitting on their piers enjoying the morning, etc. So, with total sincerity and great appreciation, Thank you! to each and every one of you who worked so hard to make this such a fabulous and safe event. You people are the true heart of our community and that heart was beating strong on Saturday, June 25, 2011. You are truly an outstanding group of people and you have quietly worked hard without fanfare to put on the finest event in town. John Olkowski Jr. Three Lakes vised on 60 Minutes during an interview with Mike Wallace in 1998. The man had a terminal illness and had asked Kevorkian for help. The pathologist served eight years and was released in 2007 after he assured the state of Michigan that he would never help another person die. Kevorkians lasting legacy is that he brought the debate about the legality of physicianassisted suicide or euthanasia to the consciousness of the public. Whether you agreed with him or not, Kevorkian was a pioneer for the rights of the terminally ill. And as a person, I remember thinking that he wasnt such a bad guy.

Stealing from cemetery saddens widow

Dear Editor: I am sitting here writing this choking back tears because of a very cruel thing that happened not once, but twice, to me and my family. My husband passed away last year very unexpectedly and at the young age of 44. He left me and his parents and our two daughters. What a horrible thing on Memorial Day weekend in 2010, when two angels and two lights were stolen off his grave. Now this year, I replaced the two angels, not cheap, and only one light. This morning (June 14), again, they were stolen by some miserable excuses for human beings. This is so terrible here in Eagle River. Who would have thought that something like this would happen in our lovely town. I have reported this to our police. I only hope they can find those bad people. Agnes Daniszewski Eagle River

judge? I asked. Kevorkian relied, Only on what he or she wants. As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified. The two must then coincide the wish of the patient and the medical justification. I think the American public was puzzled by Kevorkian. They didnt know whether he was a medical philosopher or a nut. In view of all of this, I remember asking him whether he thought he was the right guy to be representing the

To garden or not to garden

The hydrangea has grown 3 to 4 feet in the last month. They are amazing. By the end of July, they will be taller than I am. The same is happening with my hibiscus as they grow and prepare to put forth huge red plate-shaped blossoms. My friend planted a lot of hosta and ferns in the shady part of my garden and all in all Mother Nature is doing her thing in my yard. I am not a gardener. I wish I was, but working in the hot sun as mosquitoes buzz in my ears is no delight to me. The plants were, for the most part, planted by someone else and I do only a small amount of work out there to keep things going. I so admire those who have a passion for gardening. I have a passion for admiring their work and looking at the flowers as they take their turns and fill my yard with color. I have, in spite of my disdain for heat and mosquitoes, decided to put a memorial garden in my backyard in honor of my husband, Bill. I have a young gal who comes to helps me. Task No. 1 will be to remove the grass. I refuse to use chemicals, so I am left with the choice of removing the grass with shovels or burying it beneath cardboard and putting soil on top. That decision is still to be made. Right now I am in the planning stages what will go where. I have to admit to being a bit excited about creating this flower garden, putting a bench in it that Bill and I had at former homes, and then hopefully enjoying sitting in the shade on low mosquito days and evenings.

When Epcke was 30, with two small boys, she moved to Deerfield, Ill., from the western suburb of Glen Ellyn. This young mother wanted to learn to paint and was thrilled to find a teacher, Brook Allison, who gave evening art classes in her home. Painting was something I innately knew I wanted to do, Epcke said. I started out painting from photos. This is the way many artists paint, but I find it a handicap. The reverse painting from ones mind has no limits. Epcke wanted to create something that had not been done many times before and began experimenting with various styles and ideas.

Most teachers can tell you what is needed in a painting. Very few actually know the reason why, because they paint intuitively and quite frankly do not know the reason why. Because of the intense training she received from Pen, Epcke believes strongly in design. If a work does not have good composition, Epcke explained, it can never be of any worth, regardless of the paint application, colors used, subject or style. She is interested in dividing, warping and pushing space to the ultimate, using strong design based primarily on geometric forms.

retreat to a less stressful and demanding summer residence where their position in society was not a focal point. These were people who yearned for the simple, uncomplicated life which encouraged strong family bonds and companionship with others. They found that life in the lands of the Rod and Gun Club. As mentioned in the local historical society book The Pine, The Plow, and the Pioneer, Vol. II, one of the oldest condominium concepts in the nation may have begun in Three Lakes. In 1884, a group of men, most of whom hailed from Illinois, camped at Lake Gogebic, Michigan, and took the name The Gogebic Fishing and Shooting Club. Two years later, this privileged group of sportsmen searched for an idyllic spot near the present town of Three Lakes which consisted at that time of a train depot, few homes and more saloons. Hearing about the bountiful game and of the Chain of Lakes, they traveled south to camp on Frenchs Point which is now known as Denby Island between Laurel and Medicine lakes. They slept in tents on blanket-covered pine boughs. In 1891, the Gogebic club was disbanded. Some of these sportsmen bought land and buildings which presently make up some of the clubs property on Highway 32 south of Three Lakes. Approximately 100 acres comprise club land with shoreline on Big Stone, Laurel, Medicine, Moccasin and Spirit lakes. A charter was issued for the Three Lakes Rod and Gun Club in 1899. A total of 25 members belonged to the club in 1903 members who cherished the simplicity of their days in the North Woods. Most members fished, often, but as far as the gun part of the clubs name, pistols were used for target practice behind the clubhouse. Phyllis Pinky Taylor, now 92, is the oldest living member of the Rod and Gun Club, and lives permanently on club grounds. Generations of her family have vacationed here. When I was born, I was wrapped in a pink blanket and my twin sister, Blue, who was also a member and recently passed away, was wrapped in blue. The nicknames stuck, she laughed. Membership is limited to 25, so when someone passes away or decides to sell their home, prospective members may purchase that property. We each own our own homes, but the land belongs to the club. Taylor recalled her carefree days as a child during summers on the grounds. We lived in my Grandmother Sperrys house which is closer to the clubhouse, and then my father built this home later. The club is family tradition for us. Members are like an extended family. We were very active. Mother insisted that we go in the water in all kinds of weather. I loved it, but it was so cold! My sister and I played with paper dolls which we made ourselves. We relied on our imaginations a lot. We watched the eagles find fish in the creek which flows between Spirit and Laurel lakes, Taylor recalled. It was wonderful! Mother and Daddy would have a fire in the big fireplace. Theyd read us stories at night. We ate three meals a day at the clubhouse. Now I only go to dinner; only two meals are prepared there daily, she said. Most summers, wed come here from Denver where we lived. Dad was a civil engineer who helped to build the first subway in Chicago. Taylor reminisced, One of the delightful things about being a member of the club was that the parents joined in when we played games. It wasnt the kids separated from the parents. Local resident Jim Nelson spent many years on the club grounds. His parents, Archie and Phoebe Nelson, were superintendents of the club from 1928-40 and then again from 1944-56. We lived there. Mom ran the kitchen in the clubhouse and was in charge of the waitresses and cooks. Dad did anything that had to be done. The club opened Memorial Day and closed Labor Day. If guests stayed after that, they ate meals at our home, Nelson recalled. Most summers, Nelson fished, swam, boated and played games alongside Pete and Don Burnside, Tom Curless and Eleanor, Mrs. Niednagels granddaughter. We played a game called spotlight. It was the spotlight operators job to catch one of the other kids in the lights beam and identify him. The object was to sneak up into the barn without being seen, Nelson recalled. One club member was M.D. Miller, who owned the large historic white boathouse which was moved across Laurel Lake from club property in 1948-49, said Nelson. Miller was president of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad and owned a private rail car in which he and his family traveled from Chicago. It was parked at the depot in town which is where the Three Lakes Winery is now situated. My mom rode to Chicago with them a couple times because she had a sister there. He didnt spare any bucks on that railroad car, said Nelson. No one owned refrigerators, but had iceboxes instead. Ice was cut from Spirit Lake, placed into the icehouse and then covered with sawdust. Once or twice a week during summer, wed haul blocks to the homes. Wed use some of that ice for tea, as well, Nelson recalled. Generations continue to enjoy their summers at the Rod and Gun Club. A 1990 publication written by Phyllis and Phillip Taylor reviews some of their memorable years at the club. Several children were asked what they would miss the most when they were far away from Three Lakes and the Rod and Gun Club. Young Molly B. answered: When I am away, I miss the beauty and the lovely woods. I could live there forever. It seems that many generations feel the same.

Extension agent Joan LeFebvre retires

___________

BY JOAN MEEDER
FEATURE WRITER

___________

Its plain to see from the enthusiastic, engaging manner and keen interest level that Joan LeFebvre has touched many lives and found deep career fulfillment the past 37 years serving as the UW-Extension family living agent for Vilas, Florence and Forest counties. As a family living agent, she strove to provide education promoting family strengths and to help communities become positive environments for family life. Programs respond to community needs with research-based education and partnerships that support Wisconsin families and communities. I feel that I served as a connector by putting parts of information together and keeping up to date, helping people achieve the goals they want for themselves and the community by working together, she said. Growing up as a 4-H Club member, she said she learned the value of Extension workers and during college did an internship with the Minnesota Extension Service. Following a few years of teaching high school and college levels, she landed the three-county position, enabling her husband and her to be closer to family. This job keeps changing. Its the place to be for people who want to be innovative and creative, connecting people where they live and work with university resources. I got to learn from and partner with agents statewide, she shared. Communication is a big part of the job and that involves writing newsletters, one favorite of LeFebvres being Parenting the First

Year, which she co-piloted. The age-keyed newsletter is sent to parents on a monthly basis, and has been in existence for 28 years. The newsletter has been expanded to include the second and third years and has garnered a national and even international readership. Another newsletter, Parenting the Preschooler, is available on the Web and is received by 1400 parents in the three counties. LeFebvre also found satisfaction in leading workshops, such as the recent Nature of Kids presented to the Arbor Vitae Mothers of

Preschoolers. The workshop utilized the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator and the effect of personality preferences on family communication. LeFebvre enjoyed coalition work, citing the Forest County Partnership, which won a state coalition award a few years ago as a particularly collaborative group. Other coalitions include Northwoods Saves and a transition group in Florence County for those returning from jail. While the average county extension agent works with three state coalitions,

LeFebvre was involved with eight of them. Another career highlight was the interaction with the partner agencies, schools, nonprofits and interested citizens. Reflecting on where 37 years of active involvement went, LeFebvre said, Technology is absolutely the biggest change in my position. It has changed the way we agents do our job and also the way we interact with each other. The job has become community development, helping guide parents through synchronous information finding, instead of distributing, information as in the past. There are more challenges of difficult issues also for families now, including conflict resolution, helping them define their futures and process the impact of decisions and scenarios. Other issues include keeping communication lines open to help young people navigate and make good choices, grandparents raising grandchildren, homelessness, how to educate youths, parents and retailers to protect them in the face of issues stemming from drug and alcohol use and abuse. LeFebvre helped create a Family Resource Guide for Vilas County that is available to community members at vilascounty.uwex.edu. As the workdays have come to a close, she looks forward to some traveling. Her plans include traveling to Albuquerque, N.M., to co-present Demonstrating the Value of Collaborative Work, that will include a state impact report summarizing coalition work among family living education. She will take time to visit with her three grown children who live out of state, including her daughter, who is preparing for a July 2 wedding.

sician series. Throughout her career, she has had great interest in sailboats and they have frequently appeared as the subject of her work. The shape of the canvas is also important, Epcke said. I love working in squares for, to be successful, it is mandatory to push the design to move the viewers eye. I am currently working on a series of oarsmen incorporating strong, flat patterns and vibrant colors. Epcke has been involved in fine art for more than 40 years, working in acrylic, oil and experimental watercolor. Her award-winning work has appeared in shows in Chicago, Ill., and surrounding suburbs, as well as Manitowish Waters, Minocqua, Rhinelander, Land O Lakes, Three Lakes and Boulder Junction. The Three Lakes Center for the Arts in the Northwoods will show Epckes work during July. All are welcome to the Meet the Artist gathering Thursday, July 7, from 5 to 6 p.m. Wine and appetizers will be served. Paintings by Gerald Zeller and the pottery of Anne Appel and Richard Frasier also will be shown. The gallery also has basketry, jewelry and more on display.

off the feeders. Summer is a delightful time, and seeing how my perennials come back each year in greater and greater abundance is enthralling. Next year, I hope to start a vegetable garden raised beds for sure as my aging body enjoys less and less kneeling on the ground. As I read back over these paragraphs, I notice a bit of passion for gardening reveal itself. I just might have to listen to that little voice that seems to be drawn in by the flowers and veggies one can produce with a bit of effort and perspiration, and bug spray. I have great fantasies about a lovely backyard with walking paths, a little pool of water, birdbaths, flowers that bloom in sequence from April through the fall, veggies that I can pick and eat for dinner each night or put away for winter. Then I sit down, put my feet up and say, Well, maybe next year. But sooner or later, I will take the plunge . . . so that my backyard fantasy garden can become a reality.

Kimmerling and Rideout named to Fighting Knights Hall of Fame

Dorothy Kimmerling and Mary Rideout were recently recognized as the Fighting Knights Hall of Fame inductees for 2011 at Phelps High School. Kimmerling was born in Tomahawk Sept. 9, 1957, one of seven children. Her family moved to Trout Lake when she was 4, as her father had been promoted to forest supervisor of the American Legion and Northern Highland state forests. She developed her fondness for the North Woods when her father took her hunting and fishing and taught her about the area. She attended grade school in Boulder Junction and was educated in double classrooms through her elementary years. One year I would be in class with my older sister and the next with my younger sister, said Kimmerling. During eighth grade, all the small elementary schools in the area consolidated and Kimmerling was a member of the first graduating class from North Lakeland Elementary School. Looking back, she said she preferred the little school in Boulder Junction. She graduated from Lakeland Union High School in Minocqua in 1975. During her high school years, Kimmerling participated in forensics, Solo and Ensemble, debate, choir and band. She went on to attend UW-Madison, sharing the experience with several of her siblings, who partitioned living quarters with her as the group progressed through college. She graduated in the spring of 1979 and two weeks later married David Kimmerling. The couple made their home in Land O Lakes. Dorothy began looking for a teaching job, while David worked in his parents hardware store. Davids mother originally suggested the secretarial job at Phelps to her after hearing of an opening. I had no idea where Phelps was, but I decided to give the job a try, said Kimmerling. When I saw this little school overlooking a beautiful lake in a wonderful little town, I knew it was meant to be. She worked for a year as school secretary, and began teaching in 1980. Shortly after, she and her husband started a family. All three of their children were born at the Phelps hospital. In 1993, they moved from Land O Lakes to their present residence on Winding Trail Lane in Phelps. During the last 31 years, Kimmerling taught a variety of elementary grades and coached cheerleading, volleyball and forensics. She also served in public office as the town clerk and serves currently as a town supervisor. I am a very proud grandparent of four beautiful grandchildren, and the proud mother of two veterans, said Kimmerling. Mary Rideouts first experience with Phelps School was when her family moved to Phelps when she was in high school. She was surprised by the small class size, the individual attention and the ability of any student to participate in extracurricular activities. She graduated in 1979, marrying Jay Rideout that same year. She received an associate degree in accounting from Nicolet Area Technical College in 1986. The Rideouts raised three children in Phelps Jay, Donald and Stephanie. I decided to run for the Phelps School Board when there was discussion about closing the school, but I lost that election by a few votes, said Rideout. In 1988, I was appointed to the board of education to fill a vacancy and served until 2010. During that time, I was fortunate to work with many people dedicated to the education of the students in Phelps. Rideout said she plans to continue her work with the school. I will continue to support the school and encourage all people to actively participate in school governance, she said. Rideout has been employed as the financial services supervisor for Oneida County for 18 years and is currently a junior at UW-Green Bay studying human development. Rideout said that she appreciated the nomination for the Phelps School District Hall of Fame. I can think of many other board members, teachers, staff, parents and students who deserve this more than I, she said. I hope that they will also be recognized for their dedication.

Reiter Center to host Life Line Screening

Area residents can be screened to reduce the risk of stroke or bone fracture Wednesday, July 6, as the Reiter Center in Three Lakes will host Life Line Screening. The screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions, such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a predictor of heart disease. A bone-density screening to assess osteoporosis risk also will be offered for both men and women. Packages will start at $139. All five screenings will take 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Life Line Screening provided the following four key points for public awareness: Stroke is the third leading cause of death, and is a leading cause of permanent disability. Eighty percent of stroke victims have no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke. Preventive ultrasound screenings can help stroke avoidance. Screenings are fast, noninvasive and painless. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-(877) 237-1287 or visit the website at lifelinescreening. com. Preregistration is required.

Fish boil test run completed; main event scheduled July 9

More than 30 people associated with the Three Lakes Historical Society attended a test run June 21 for an upcoming fish boil at the historical society grounds July 9. Randy Schultz from Big Lake Fish Boil Co. really believes that word of mouth is the best form of advertisement, said Linda Goldsworthy, who will chair the upcoming Three Lakes Historical Society Summerfest Fish Boil in July. He offered to hold a small fish boil for us prior to the event for just that purpose. Goldsworthy praised Schultz for his dedication in organizing the event. Ive never been to a boil, she said. You can tell that Randy takes a lot of pride in doing things the old-fashioned way, complete with a hand-rung mounted bell announcing that the boil over was about to take place. Schultz and his wife Marge, who hail from Merrill, have been in the fish boil business for the last few years. His boil uses haddock loins, baby red potatoes and sweet onions cooked in a stainless-steel pot with salt as a seasoning. The meal is rounded out with coleslaw, baked beans, rolls and a dessert. The fish was excellent, especially with a bit of drizzled butter, salt and pepper, said Goldsworthy. Everyone seemed to agree that the meal was a success. I hope that bodes well for our upcoming fundraiser in July. The Three Lakes Historical Society is selling tickets to its July 9 fish boil in Three Lakes at First National Bank, M&I Bank and the Three Lakes Historical Society. Early tickets for adults cost $12, while tickets for children ages 5 to 12 cost $7. Tickets purchased at the door will cost $15. The event, which will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. at the historical society grounds, will feature the music of Skip and Jim. Beer, wine and soda also will be available for purchase at Jim Skeltons Beer Garden. For more information, contact Goldsworthy at (715) 546-2799.

Meeting set to discuss voter ID bill

The town of Three Lakes has announced a public meeting Wednesday, July 6, at 5:30 p.m. in the town office boardroom at 6965 W. School St. in Three Lakes to discuss the recent changes made to Wisconsin voting laws. This informational meeting will be conducted to help electors understand the significant changes in the Wisconsin voting laws that were enacted under 2011 Act 23 and which became effective June 9. Local area residents are welcome to attend the informational and educational public meeting. There are many changes to the voting process, some of which will already be in effect for the upcoming Senate recall primary and general elections. Voters have been accustomed to having the same rules in effect for decades in some cases, and it can cause real confusion on voting day for those who come to the polls only to be told things are no longer the same, said Town Clerk Sue Harris. The biggest change is that never before in the history of Wisconsin have voters been required to show an approved identification in order to vote. Harris said the meetings goal is to help electors understand what happens if they appear at the polling place without identification, to inform them that they now also must sign the voting roll and to be sure they understand that the minimum residency requirement has tripled from 10 to 28 days. By doing some voter education in advance of the upcoming recall primary, our hope is to minimize questions and confusion on voting day, she said. The Senate recall primary is currently scheduled for July 19 with the general election slated for Aug. 16. These dates are subject to change if court challenges are filed.

Three Lakes School District is an equal opportunity employer.

Society selling raffle tickets

The Three Lakes Historical Society has announced tickets are on sale for the annual cash raffle, with a drawing to take place at the Reiter Center Thursday, Aug. 18, at 8:30 p.m. after Jerry Apps presentation about Wisconsin cheese making. Participants need not be present at the drawing to claim prizes. The raffle is limited to 100 tickets, which can be purchased for $50 at Concerts in the Park and other Three Lakes community events. They also can be reserved by calling Linda Goldsworthy at (715) 546-2799. Each historical society director will have tickets to sell. In 2010, the historical society found that the fundraising cash raffle was quite popular and successful, said historical society board member Joan Ross. Participants seemed to appreciate the chance to win cash. This year, the odds of winning are greater because more prizes will be available. Prizes are $1,000 for first, $500 for second, $300 for third, $200 for fourth and fifth, $100 for sixth, seventh and eighth, and $50 for ninth and 10th. If all 100 tickets are sold, odds of winning are quite positive for the participants, said Ross. Ten percent of all ticket holders will at least get their money back. The historical society hopes participants will enjoy taking a chance and support the historical society in this manner.

VOTING BY ABSENTEE BALLOT

Any qualified elector who is unable or unwilling to appear at the polling place on election day may request to vote an absentee ballot. A qualified elector is any U.S. citizen, who will be 18 years of age or older on election day, who has resided in the ward or municipality where he or she wishes to vote for at least 28 days before the election. The elector must also be registered in order to receive an absentee ballot. TO OBTAIN AN ABSENTEE BALLOT YOU MUST MAKE A REQUEST IN WRITING. Contact your municipal clerk and request that an application for an absentee ballot be sent to you for the primary or election or both. You may also request an absentee ballot by letter. Your written request must list your voting address within the municipality where you wish to vote, the address where the absentee ballot should be sent, if different, and your signature. Special absentee voting application provisions apply to electors who are indefinitely confined to home or a care facility, in the military, hospitalized, or serving as a sequestered juror. If this applies to you, contact the municipal clerk. You can also personally go to the clerks office or other specified location, complete a written application, and vote an absentee ballot during the hours specified for casting an absentee ballot.

Singer Pease to perform at library

Conserve School of Land O Lakes has assisted Land O Lakes Public Library in bringing childrens singer Tom Pease to the library Wednesday, June 29. Pease has performed around the country for more than 25 years and has released many childrens albums. Pease said, My philosophy on singing with kids and their families is I want to help that group find the feeling of community with song and laughter. I love celebrating the moment were in while remembering the past and future of the world around us. That moment is finding the unique things that are happening and celebrating them. I savor the spontaneity of a situation. In fact, its the lifeblood of my performances. Its always been the best way for me to allow those magical moments of a childs view of the world to appear. All Land O Lakes library shows are held on the front lawn or indoors if weather is
