With the North Woods in the midst of an unforgiving heat wave with high temperatures in the mid-90s and heat indexes up to 115 degrees Wisconsin Emergency Management and the National Weather Service (NWS) have predicted that dangerous heat and humidity will continue this week. Over the weekend, the heat gave way to damaging thunderstorms that racked Vilas and Oneida counties Sunday evening with high winds and 2.5 inches of rainfall in some places. Detrimental effects resulting from the storm system included the collapsed basement wall of an Eagle River home at 715 E. Wall St., where apparently water damaged the structural integrity of the building. A tenant who was in the building at the time said he felt the house lurch drastically as the foundation on the west

Two new Northland Pines principals, who started with the school district July 1, are getting familiar with their buildings, staff members and schedules. Arriving at Northland Pines earlier this month were new high school Principal Jim Brewer and new Eagle River Elementary School Principal Matthew Spets. Brewer was the associate principal at Waukesha South High School and replaces Scott Foster, who will become the principal at Land O Lakes and St. Germain elementary schools. Foster also will be district technology coordinator. Its been exciting, said Brewer on his transition to Northland Pines High School. Ive always had a desire to be

Holperin introduces legislation for NRB to appoint secretary

State Sen. Jim Holperin (DEagle River) introduced legislation recently, Senate Bill 119 (SB 119), to strip the governor of the power to appoint the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) secretary and award that authority to the Natural Resources Board. Sportsmen and wildlife groups across the state, along with the majority of Wisconsin citizens, have expressed their support for this bill repeatedly, and it was approved by the Legislature by wide margins last session, but vetoed, Holperin said of the measure. I realize the current governor is antagonistic toward the idea as well, but we who support the legislation need to make sure it gets active consideration every single session. We cant give up, he added. Holperin said it is widely acknowledged that while a board-appointed DNR secretary would not eliminate politics from the administration of fish, game and environmental laws in Wisconsin, the change would go a long way toward reducing such influence which is why the change has overwhelming popular support, according to Holperin. The public has expressed time and again its desire for an independent DNR secretary who isnt beholden to a governor of either party, said Holperin. Thats why Ive introduced Senate Bill 119 and I hope it will be given serious consideration this session. SB 119 has been referred to the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Environment, but has not been scheduled for a public hearing.

Butterflies, including monarchs, many dragonflies and fireflies have been out in large numbers the past week, but they have, unfortunately, been joined by pesty mosquitoes, horseflies and deerflies. With the warm weather, recreational boating activity continues to increase. Most North Woods rivers are running at or slightly above seasonal norms, making them perfect for a summer canoe or kayak trip. Wednesday will be hot and humid with storms early, with a high of 92 and a low of 71. Thursday isolated thunderstorms are possible, with a high of 89 and a low of 72. Friday will still be hot with a chance of storms, with a high of 88 and a low of 65. Saturday scattered thunderstorms are forecast, with a high of 85 and a low of 64. MURAL DISPLAY The community mural, created and painted by Phelps community members during the Phelps centennial in 2005, was recently mounted in downtown Phelps. The mural displays the many facets of Phelps fishing, forest, lakes, the school, churches, stores, Charles Hazen representing the resort business and C.M. Christiansen representing the logging business. Mounting the mural were Steve Ray on the ladder and Dennis Holcolm. The Phelps Womens Club and Town Chairman Colin Snook were instrumental in re-creating the mural for public show. --Photo By Sharon Gifford

North Woods residents are welcome to dunk local celebrities next Tuesday, July 26, as part of a fundraising event coordinated by the Walgreens Relay For Life team. The dunk tank and other features of the event will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Walgreens team officials said the celebrities on the list so far include a pharmacist, circuit court judge, banker, local store managers, real estate brokers and media representatives. Each of the local dignitaries will have a 30-minute stint in the dunk tank, which will be set up right in our parking lot off Wall Street, said
team captain Alice Krueger. Weve also invited firefighters and police officers to join us. A partial list of the dunk tank volunteers includes real estate broker Jerry Burkett of Burkett Realty, who will open the event from 11 to 11:30. Following him will be Reserve Judge James B. Mohr, NewsReview Editor Gary Ridderbusch, Walgreens pharmacist Dave Peterson, WRJO manager Neil Roberts, ColdwellBanker real estate broker Judy Barr, Dairy Queen coowner Dan Anderson, Val Dreger of Peoples State Bank, and Walgreens manager Bill Johnson. Krueger said proceeds from the event, which will come from the dunk event along with food and refreshment sales, will contribute to the Walgreens teams efforts to raise money for the Northwoods Relay For Life event Aug. 5 and 6 in Eagle River.
Vilas County employees would be limited in what circumstances they would be able to file a grievance under a draft policy being written by the county Transition Committee in response to changes imposed by the state budget repair bill. Only disciplinary actions by the county that result in suspension greater than one day, termination, reduction in base pay or rank, or demotion would allow an employee to file a grievance. Committee members discussed the draft policy during a meeting last Thursday. Completion of the grievance policy is expected at the July 25 Transition Committee meeting, with final committee action likely in August. It then will be sent to the county board for adoption in September. Disciplinary actions that would not be greivable would include layoffs or workforce reduction, adverse employment actions as a result of misconduct or poor performance, plans for performance improve-
ment, performance evaluations or reviews, oral or written reprimands, and non-disciplinary wage or salary adjustments. Several committee members suggested those limits might be too restrictive. How do you grieve unfair treatment? asked Supervisor Sig Hjemvick, relating it to shift changes or job assignments. Supervisor Erv Teichmiller also was not comfortable limiting employees to so few actions of which they could file a grievance. Committee Chairman Jim Behling defended the limits. You assign shifts based on need and skills of the employee and that should not be greivable, said Behling. Our employees are professionals and we have an opportunity to knock down barriers that limit them, like cross training or department consolidation. The collective bargaining agreements stopped many of these actions. The committee then focused on who could represent the employee in the grievance process a union representative or an attorney, and if they could
have more than one person. Teichmiller favored whomever the employee felt could help them, as did committee member Emil Bakka. Its very important the employee is comfortable and confident, Teichmiller said. Id rather have someone come before us who is really prepared and thoughtfully prepared. I think the employee has the right to pick and choose who they want to represent them, Bakka added. Teichmiller attempted to not restrict the employees right to choose their representation, but his motion was defeated on a 3-4 vote. Hjemvick then moved to allow the employee to have one representative of their choice and that was approved 5-2 over the advice of attorney Andy Phillips. I suggest it not be a fellow employee, Phillips said prior to the vote. Youre asking for problems if you do this. Burden of proof While the process must include a hearing before an impartial hearing officer (IHO), the county policy would put the burden of proof on the employ-
ee filing the grievance. The IMO would have to find by clear and convincing evidence the county abused its discretion in disciplining or terminating the employee or the grievance has to be denied. The IHO must file a written decision that contains seven items: the case number, appearances at the hearing, a statement of the issues, pertinent findings of fact, conclusions of law if any, the final decision and if overturned, what the is remedy for the employee. The draft limited back pay for reinstatement to 30 days and that was challenged by committee members who felt if the grievance is in favor of the employee, they should receive all back pay. Committee member Ed Bluthardt Jr. indicated the process takes more than 30 days to get through and suggested 75 days would be more appropriate. His motion to set 75 working days as being eligible for back pay carried on a 6-1 vote. Teichmiller said back pay for all days out should be given. His motion to change the 75 days to equal to the actual days lost passed 6-1.

Budweiser Clydesdales to visit Three Lakes on North Woods tour

The world-renowned Budweiser Clydesdales, symbols of quality and tradition for Anheuser-Busch since 1933, are scheduled to make several appearances in the North Woods from Wednesday to Sunday, July 27-31. Included in the Clydesdales calendar will be a hitching show and parade Thursday, July 28, from 5 to 9 p.m. in Three Lakes. The 1-ton horses will be hitched at Cy Williams Park before parading through Superior Street and downtown. The Clydesdales will pull an old-fashioned beer wagon and will make stops at local businesses for beer deliveries. The honorary parade marshal will be Wisconsin Secretary of Tourism Stephanie Klett. After the parade, the Clydesdales and their team will available for photographs at Cy Williams Park, where live bluegrass music will be provided by Handpicked Bluegrass. The event also will feature a static display of vintage cars, food and beverages, Budweiser beer and raffles. Raffle participants have the chance to win a VIP tour of Budweiser Brewery among other prizes. Tickets are on sale at the Three Lakes Chamber of Commerce. For more information, contact the chamber at (715) 546-3344. Other appearances by the Budweiser Clydesdales will include: a hitching show and parade through the Langlade County Fairgrounds Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, July 27, 29 and 31. For more information, see the Langlade County Fair website at langladecountyfair.com; and a hitching show and parade through downtown Rhinelander starting at 2 p.m. as part of the first Hodag Pub and Grub Crawl. For more information, see downtownrhinelander.com. The Clydesdales appearance in northern Wisconsin is one of hundreds made annually by the traveling hitches. Canadians of Scottish descent brought the first Clydesdales to America in the mid-1800s. Today, the giant draft horses are used primarily for breeding and show. Horses chosen for the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch must be at least 3 years of age, stand approximately 6 feet at the shoulder, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, be bay in color, have four white legs with a blaze of white on the face, and black mane and tail. A gentle temperament is also important, as hitch horses meet millions of people each year, according to Dean Distributing marketing director Jim Gibbons. A single Clydesdale hitch horse will consume as much as 20 to 25 quarts of feed, 40 to 50 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water per day, said Gibbons. Each hitch travels with a Dalmatian. In the early days of brewing, Dalmatians were bred and trained to protect the horses and guard the wagon when the driver went inside to make deliveries.
Pines: principals impressed with district

FROM PAGE 1A
Spets. Northland Pines has top-notch facilities and there is so much technology in this district. Meeting staff Brewer, 38, received a bachelor of science in education degree from UW-Whitewater in May 1998 and earned his master of science curriculum and instruction degree from UW-Whitewater in August 2002. He earned his administrative leadership licensure from Silver Lake College in Manitowoc in August 2009. Prior to being an associate principal at Waukesha South, Brewer was employed with the Edgerton School District as a summer school intern principal, social studies teacher and summer school remedial educator. While Brewer worked at Waukesha South High School, he lived in Cambridge where his wife was a teacher for the past 16 years. Brewer said there are some obvious differences between Waukesha and Northland Pines. The Waukesha School District is the seventh largest in the state and the high school had 1,400 students, said Brewer. We had a 37% minority population at Waukesha South and 45% were on free and reduced meal plans. Northland Pines is more like Edgerton, where we had about 600 students. The block schedule at Northland Pines will be nothing new for Brewer. I taught under the block for 11 years, but I know there can be schedule conflicts if teachers have to teach at multiple schools, said Brewer. Brewer said hes excited to get to know the staff and students at the high school. Ive been meeting the staff and everybody has been so helpful and gracious, said Brewer. Josh Tilley will remain on as dean of students, so that will be a big help. Brewer and his wife, Stephanie, have two children, Jason, who will go into sixth grade, and Emma, who will go into fourth grade. Stephanie Brewer will teach first grade at St. Germain Elementary School. As a family, we like outdoor activities including hiking, biking, fishing and swimming, said Brewer. I am slowly getting back into hunting. I also like to exercise and I enjoy being involved in youth sports. Time for students Spets, 32, received his bachelor of science in English degree from UW-Superior in December of 2002 and his master of science degree in educational administration from UW-Superior in July 2009. Prior to being a K-12 principal at Wakefield-Marenisco, Spets taught language arts for grades seven and eight in the Maple School District. He also has teaching experience at Wakefield; Duluth, Minn.; and Ironwood, Mich., schools. Being principal at Eagle River Elementary School will be Spets first experience working in and leading an elementary-exclusive building. I am looking forward to creating strong professional relationships with the effective and experienced elementary staff that have made this school so outstanding, said Spets. He also expects to have more time with the students moving from a K-12 district to a kindergarten through fifthgrade school. Not only were the numerous daily encounters I had with my elementary students over the course of the previous two years the highlights of each workday, working with the younger students keeps one grounded and focused on what truly matters in this profession the children, said Spets. Spets said his goal is to facilitate an innovative, cohesive team of teachers at Eagle River Elementary School that will work together no matter what mandates or restrictions are thrust upon them. If we all work together and keep the focus on the children, we will maintain the effective
VILAS COUNTY
educational experience that has consistently been provided to the children of this state and especially at Northland Pines, said Spets. Spets and his wife, Sabrina, a registered nurse, have a daughter, Danika, age 2. Spets, who grew up in Ironwood, said he enjoys outdoor activities, including deer hunting and fly fishing. My wife and I are thrilled to relocate to the Eagle River area, he said. The professional/career opportunities afforded the two of us and the outdoor recreation opportunities available to our whole family will allow us to live the lifestyle we desire.
With a new health insurance system and student enrollment finally on the rise, the Three Lakes School District will be able to balance its budget each of the next two years, predicted District Administrator George Karling. The budget picture for taxpayers looks really good, said Karling in a recent budget report to the school board. Karlings report included figures that showed the prekindergarten through 12thgrade enrollment at Three Lakes climbed to 563 at the end of the school year, up from 545 June 4, 2010. It may mean that our declining enrollment is finally ending, said Karling, noting the increase will improve the districts levying authority down the road. But Karling said the big news concerning the budget was that the teachers have agreed to a new insurance system that will save the district a minimum of $128,720 if 100% of the teachers reach their health insurance deductible. According to the plan, each employee retained the same deductible, $100 for a single plan and $200 for a family plan. Meanwhile, the district renewed its health insurance contract with deductibles of $2,500 per person and $5,000 per family, agreeing to hold employees harmless by paying any overages out of a health reimbursement account (HRA). Karling said the HRA change is significant, as it will decrease insurance premiums by about 32%. While Three Lakes is guaranteed to save $128,720 if 100% of the employees reach their deductible, Karling said that figure jumps to $323,120 if 50% of the employees reach their deductible. The savings would climb to $420,320 if 25% reached their deductible. Generally, pay history has shown that 50% are reached, but 25% would be fantastic said Karling. To improve those figures, we talked to the teachers about how they manage their health care, such as go to walk-in clinic instead of going to the emergency room, if possible. Karling said the district lost $380,000 due to a loss in state aid and levying authority. Declining enrollment resulted in cuts totaling $308,000, but we have weathered the story and we are doing pretty well due to the health insurance change, said Karling. Budget outlook With the teachers agreeing to the HRA plan, Karling said
the district will likely balance its budget in the next two years. Three Lakes voters approved a $1.5 million referendum last year, and Karling said he was confident the district will get three years out of those referendum dollars, but he was not so sure about getting a fourth year out of those dollars. Looking ahead to the budget for the 2011-12 school year, Karling said he expected the tax levy will drop from $8,602,147 to $7,791,988, or down $810,159. Karling anticipated the mill rate for school district purposes will drop to 5.33 per $1,000 of equalized value, down from 5.88. That is with no change in property valuation, said Karling. With a 5% increase in valuation, we would see the mill rate drop to $5.08. Karling said the $5.33 would put Three Lakes mill rate in the bottom 10 for K-12 school districts in the state and he expects that number to continue to drop. And it looks good for taxpayers next year, as in the 2012-13 budget will be paying off our facilities ($830,000), including Three Lakes and Sugar Camp schools, said Karling. The districts annual meeting will be Aug. 31 at 6:30 p.m., followed by the regular August school board meeting. Other business In other business, the school board approved several new hires, including Lisa Wales for special-education aid, Steve Schacht for at-risk coordinator from 62% to 83.33% time, Michele Brown for business office assistant, and Russ Running from part-time to fulltime custodian. The board also accepted the resignations of Mary Eades, business office assistant, following 24 years of service; Leslie Storms custodian; Kim Mullen, special-education aid. The board also received a letter of resignation from Scott Schultz, for sixth-grade boys basketball in Sugar Camp. All were accepted with appreciation for a job well done, said Karling. Karling reported the district will close out the year with $49,307. He said the fund 10 balance with referendum dollars gives the district $249,302, which is within $3,000 of what was projected at the end of the second-year referendum dollars. The board also approved the temporary borrowing of $3.7 million for cash flow until tax dollars become available and the board approved a milk contract with Dean Foods.

New technology links EMTs with hospitals

Through support of the Howard Young Foundation, hospitals in Eagle River and Woodruff will be implementing the LIFENET system an electronic link between the emergency medical technicians (EMT) responding to 911 calls in the field and the emergency department. The technology will allow doctors in the emergency department at both Howard Young Medical Center in Woodruff and Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital to see and review critical information about the patient prior to the patient arriving in the emergency department, according to Sheila Clough, president of Howard Young Health Care. With the push of a button, LIFENET allows EMTs to transmit a heart attack patients electrocardiogram (EKG) directly to the nearest hospitals emergency department from the ambulance. EKGs provide critical diagnostic information about the electrical activity of a patient's heart. LIFENET technology can also transmit vital signs from accident and trauma victims being raced to hospital emergency rooms by EMTs and paramedics. The LIFENET devices combine the best of medicine with the most advanced technology available to benefit the people of our region," said Roderick Brodhead, M.D., director of emergency services at Howard Young Medical Center and Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital. The visual communication that LIFENET provides is especially important in a critical situation such as a patient having a heart attack. This new technology will allow the emergency department doctor the ability to view a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) being performed by the EMTs in the ambulance prior to the patient arriving in the emergency department. Clough said the physician can make real time treatment decisions based on the data provided by EMS in the field which helps the emergency medical team get definitive treatment to our patients much more rapidly. This technology will advance our ability to communicate with EMTs and paramedics responding to calls in the field in a way that best serves our patients, said Clough.

Vilas County Court report
Former teacher pleads not guilty in 10-count child pornography case

A former Northland Pines Middle School math teacher, charged with 10 felony counts of possession of child pornography, waived his preliminary hearing and entered a notguilty plea Monday in Vilas County Circuit Court. Michael Wang, 46, was arrested May 16 after school officials reported they discovered the teacher had allegedly used a school-issued computer to chat with females, including a female believed to be 14 years old. During Wangs arraignment Monday, Vilas County Circuit Court Judge Neal A Nielsen III set a pre-trial conference for Sept. 12. Wang is free on a $20,000 cash bond that allows him to reside with his mother in Platteville and to allow contact by phone or in person with his 15-year-old daughter. The court also allowed contact in person only if his father or mother were present. Court records show that Wang also is allowed to visit his girlfriend in Crystal Falls, Mich., as long as the womans daughter is not present. Each felony count in the complaint against Wang carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. In other felony cases, Dillon J. Johnson, 20, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, entered a nocontest plea to an amended charge of second-degree reckless injury and was found guilty. His sentence was withheld and he was placed on probation for five years. Conditions of Johnsons probation include serving one year in the county jail with credit for 62 days served, no contact with the victim, any counseling deemed necessary, full-time employment or education, not to consume or possess intoxicants, no taverns and supply a DNA sample. According to court records, Johnson shot a man in the leg with a .22-caliber gun Nov. 19, 2010, outside of a home at 400 Waswagon St. in Lac du Flambeau. The man had non-lifethreatening injuries. Matthew J. Arndt, 30, of Eagle River, charged with possession of narcotic drugs, possession of illegally obtained prescriptions and receiving stolen property, made an adjourned initial appearance in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. A preliminary hearing was set for July 27 at 2 p.m. Eric M. Kennison, 43, of Milwaukee, convicted of sixth-offense operating while intoxicated Oct. 6, 2008, had his sentence modified by Judge Nielsen last week. Kennison asked that his sentence of two years confinement in the Wisconsin Prison System and two years extended supervision be modified so he could work on his dual diagnosis issues and get alcohol and other drug abuse counseling services he said were not available at Stanley Correctional Institution. Jedediah G. Maulson, 19, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with operating a motor vehicle without the owners consent, had an initial appearance adjourned to July 25 at 10 a.m. because he told the court he hasnt had time to call the public defenders office. Maulson was arrested at Lac of the Torches Casino in Lac du Flambeau June 6 after allegedly taking a pick-up truck from a Lac du Flambeau woman May 16. Garet W. Mendez, 25, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with attempting to utter a forgery, waived his preliminary hearing and entered a not guilty plea. A pretrial conference was set for Aug. 23 at 10:15 a.m. Mendez allegedly wrote at least five checks from another persons closed bank account after he took a book of checks from a womans home in Lac du Flambeau. Brandon L. Vetterneck, 34, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with possession of marijuana and operating a motor vehicle after revocation, waived his preliminary hearing and arraignment was set for July 25 at 9:45 a.m. His $1,000 cash bond was modified to a $1,000 signature bond, with conditions that he not possess or consume intoxicants, no taverns, and not to possess or consume prescription drugs. Clancy J. St. Germain, 44 of Lac du Flambeau, had a sentence withheld and was placed on probation for 24 months after he was found guilty of fourth-degree operating while intoxicated after the charge was amended from a fifth-degree charge. He then pleaded no contest to another fifth-degree operating while intoxicated charge. Charges of operating a motor vehicle after revocation and felony bail jumping were dismissed. Conditions of St. Germains probation on the first conviction include alcohol and other drug assessment along with any treatment, fined $1,496, drivers license revoked for 24 months, 90 days in the county jail and credit for six days served with work release privileges. Sentence was withheld on the second conviction and he was placed on probation for three years to run concurrent. St. Germain also was fined $2,182, must attend assessment and continue counseling, not to possess intoxicants, no taverns, seven months in the county jail and credit for 52 days served, drivers license revoked for 36 months and have a ignition lock device on his vehicle for 36 months. Ryan D. Turney, 17, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with battery by prisoners, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 16 at 10 a.m. Turney allegedly fought with another inmate at the Vilas County Jail June 16, hitting the man on the right side of his face.

Crist appeal rejected in bridge crossing case

An appeal by a Minocqua man found guilty by a county jury of not paying a toll to cross the International Bridge in International Falls, Minn., was rejected last week. Dean M. Crist, 62, was found guilty Nov. 3, 2010, on two counts of misdemeanor theft of services for not paying the toll and crossing the bridge, according to an article in the International Falls Journal. The two complaints alleged that Crist crossed the bridge without paying the toll more than 11 times over three years. The bridge is jointly owned by Boise Inc. and the Fort Frances Abitibi Bowater paper mills. Crist represented himself in the Nov. 3 jury trial. In total that day, Crist was convicted of five misdemeanor theft counts, showed records. As part of the sentence, Crist was ordered to stay off the bridge for two years. He was sentenced to three consecutive 90-day jail terms and $1,000 in fines. The judge stayed the fine and jail time on the condition that he serve a total of 20 days, pay $375 fine, court costs and restitution of $90, and placed Crist on court-supervised probation for two years, according to court records. Crist brought the case to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, which Aug. 11 upheld the jurys verdict, according to court documents. Crist argued that because the theft of services occurred on the bridge, the district court lacked jurisdiction over the offense. But the appeals court said that the theft of services occurred on private property within the International Falls city limits at a booth where a toll is collected to allow access to the bridge to cross into Fort Frances. Therefore, the theft of service occurred within the district courts jurisdiction. Further, court records said Crist contended that the bridge crossing did not constitute a theft of service, because state law does not specifically mention tolls.

heat and the possibility of more storms, they aimed to have power restored to the majority of customers by Monday evening. We have all available line crews working on the outages throughout north, central and northeast Wisconsin, said a WPS spokesperson Monday. A forecast for hot and humid weather, coupled with a forecast calling for the chance of more thunderstorms, could slow restoration efforts. Since the high temperatures arrived Friday, area stores have reported increased sales for air-conditioning units and fans. Weve been sold out of airconditioning units since Friday, said Tina Crane, store manager at Nelsons Ace Hardware in Eagle River. And there are only a few fans left. Tina Yakel, assistant store supervisor for Pamida in Eagle River, had a similar story. The fans are now gone, and the air-conditioning units were gone before the heat wave started, she said. Half of the people coming in and calling are asking for them, though. I imagine sales would be really good if we werent already out of them. Judy Akins, owner of Jensen-Akins Hardware & Appliance in Conover, said the store was sold out of air-conditioning window units as of Monday, but was expecting to receive additional units Tuesday, along with a shipment of fans. We feel good that weve been able to supply what people need out there, she said. By the sound of it, the heat is supposed to continue for a while. Our refrigeration service guys have been busy making sure people can also keep their food cool. Summer heat waves have been the biggest weather-related killers in Wisconsin for the past 50 years, far exceeding tornadoes and severe storms, said NWS officials. In 1995, two major killer heat waves affected most of Wisconsin, resulting in 154 heat-related deaths and more than 300 heat-related illnesses. With high temperatures in the 90s and dew points in the 70s approaching, heat indexes will likely be more than 100 degrees. As a result, Oneida County Emergency Management has organized two cooling shelters in Minocqua and Rhinelander. For information on the Minocqua shelter at United Methodist Church of the Pines, call (715) 356-3041. For information about the Rhinelander shelter at the YMCA, call (715) 362-9622. The NWS issued a number of excessive heat watches, warnings and advisories throughout Wisconsin Sunday and Monday. The NWS also offered the following tips to stay safe and cool as summer continues: Never leave children, dis-
School districts in Three Lakes, Phelps and 128 other communities will share $13.5 million in state categorical aid targeted to help rural districts, officials said last week. Three Lakes will receive $134,644, while Phelps will get $36,130, to help the districts provide educational services for their students. The overall numbers for schools were down from last year, as more small, rural school districts qualified for the funding, putting additional pressure on the aid program, which was cut 10% in the 2011-13 state budget. For the 2011-12 school year, 130 districts are eligible for sparsity aid, an increase of seven school districts and about 2,800 students from last year. To be eligible for sparsity aid, school districts must enroll fewer than 725 students and have fewer than 10 students per square mile. Additionally, at least 20% of students must be eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. Aid is set in statute at $300 per pupil, but will be prorated at 80%. District eligibility totaled $16.8 million. Aid will be paid on the third Monday in September. Small, rural school districts can forge the close relationships between home and school that foster strong communities and solid educational achievement, said State
Superintendent Tony Evers. But small communities struggle with some common challenges declining enrollment, highly variable property values, low-median income and higher transportation costs that make it difficult to provide the full range of educational opportunities students need to be successful. Evers also noted that sparsity aid has helped these districts provide services to their students, many times through creative partnerships within and among communities. Average poverty rates for eligible districts increased to 46.3%, up 2% from last years average and more than 5% higher than the state average for the 2010-11 school year. Aid will impact 55,900 students, which represent about 6.5% of the states total public school student population. The first payment from the Sparsity Aid Program was in the 2008-09 school year. The aid was a priority identified by the state superintendents Rural Advisory Council. The council noted that small, rural districts often lack economies of scale and have large geographic areas that impact educational services. The Fair Funding for Our Future school finance reform initiative, introduced last fall, recommends increasing funding for sparsity aid to small, rural schools.

abled persons or pets in a parked car, even briefly. Temperatures in a car can become life threatening within minutes. On an 80-degree day, the temperature inside a car even with the windows cracked slightly can reach 100 degrees in less than 10 minutes. Keep living space cool. Cover windows to keep the sun from shining in. If there is no air conditioner, open windows to let air circulate. When its hotter than 95 degrees, use fans to blow hot air out of the window rather than to blow hot air on the body. Basements or ground floors are often cooler than upper floors. Slow down and limit physical activity. Plan outings or exertion for the early morning or after dark when temperatures are cooler. Drink plenty of water and eat lightly. Dont wait for
thirst, but instead, drink water throughout the day. Avoid alcohol or caffeine and stay away from hot, heavy meals. Wear lightweight, loosefitting, light-colored clothing. Add a hat or umbrella to keep the head cool, and dont forget sunscreen. Dont stop taking medication unless a doctor says to. Take extra care to stay cool and ask a doctor or pharmacist for any special heat advice. Infants should drink breast milk or formula to get the right balance of water, salts and energy. People may supplement an infants fluids with an additional 4 to 8 ounces of water per day, but dont dilute formula beyond what the instructions say (unless instructed by a doctor). Take a cool shower or bath. A shower or bath will work faster than an air condi-
tioner. Applying cold wet rags to the neck, head and limbs also cools down the body quickly. The NWS also provided the following symptoms of heat-related illness and what to do in the event that they occur: Heat cramps are cramps or muscle spasms in the abdomen, arms or legs. Stop activity, cool down and drink clear juice or a sports drink. Heat exhaustion consists of heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, fainting. Cool down and seek medical attention. Heat stroke is extremely high body temperature; red, hot, dry skin; rapid pulse; throbbing headache; dizziness; nausea; confusion; and unconsciousness. Call 911 and cool the victim with shower or hose until help arrives.

Trees For Tomorrow plans Forest Fest Saturday, Aug 6

Trees For Tomorrow, Wisconsins only accredited natural resources specialty school, in cooperation with Partners in Forestry (PIF), will host the first Forest Fest Saturday, Aug. 6, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Trees For Tomorrow campus. Forest Fest is a celebration of the forests and all of the products people get from them that enhances the quality of life, according to event organizers. All aspects of the forest will be represented, from wood products to mushrooms and everything in between, said Maggie Bishop, executive director of Trees For Tomorrow. The Northwood Turners will be doing live demonstrations and their sawdust will be used to make fiber art. It will be a day of fun and learning about this versatile and renewable natural resource. Rod Sharka of PIF said his organization plans to lead field tours. Partners In Forestry will have professional foresters on hand to lead forestry management field tours, he said. Other organizations such as Wisconsin Woodland Owners Association and American Tree Farm System will also be available to answer questions about managing your private woodlands. Georgia-Pacific will perform papermaking classes with the public, Ponsse will have its harvester simulator available so visitors can try their skills at logging, Trees For Tomorrow will have courses running all day on tree identification and live birds of prey, while Rocking W Stables will offer horsedrawn wagon rides. For a complete list of event participants, visit treesfortomorrow.com. All programs free to the public. Farm-fresh hamburgers and brats from Futility Farms and local corn on the cob will be available for purchase at the historic dining hall. We thought that highlighting local farmers and their produce would fit right in with our Forest Fest celebration, said Bishop. Plan to join us for a day of fun, activities and learning. Those who use or design products from the forest are welcome to participate by calling Trees For Tomorrow.

City to submit grant application for Silver Lake Road improvements

using Silver Lake Road or going to the east and using Dollar Lake Road. Highway 70 projects Grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for extending sewer and water lines along Highway 70, both east and west, could be a 12- to 24-month process and could cost the city about $17,000 in up-front engineering plans that accompany the application, according to Laux. The recently annexed property ownres at both ends of the city have been asking from time to time when the sewer and water extensions would happen, according to Laux. The city is considering those services going west along Highway 70 to what was Neros Supper Club and east to the intersection with Highway 45, and possibly beyond. While an east-side property owner has indicated the owner did not want to be annexed into the city, the owner seemed to be agreeable to allow an easement for a lift station, according to Burkett. If we could secure an easement from Don Scharf, we could run a force main east for a long way, Burkett said. Hes at the lowest point of a lift pump. Loans from the (USDA) would carry a 2% interest rate and be payable over a 40- year period, with Laux indicating the bigger the project with USDA, the better off you are in getting funding.
Grant applications for improving Silver Lake Road and extending sewer and water along Highway 70, both east and west, dominated the discussion at last weeks Eagle River City Council meeting. Approval was given to spend $3,000 for a planning grant application after city administrator Joe Laux said he had received verbal assurance the grant request would be favorably received by the state. I have verbal approval for a $286,000 grant from Wisconsin Economic Development for Silver Lake Road, plus an additional $168,000, Laux said. We will have received $436,000 in grants toward the projected improvement cost of $953,000. Silver Lake Road improvements would include new sewer lines, an increased road base and blacktop. The road is heavily used by a concrete firm located in the town of Lincoln and that concerned some council members. If we spend city tax dollars for Silver Lake, Im going to ask for extended weight limits so there is no doubt this road is protected, declared Alderman Jerry Burkett. It wasnt city residents that broke up Silver Lake Road. Councilwoman Carol Hendricks agreed, indicating the distance from the business to the intersection of highways 45 and 70 is almost the same
Other business In other business, the council: approved a new sign for Riverview Park submitted by the Main Street program and recommended by the Plan Commission; approved a number of street closing/display of goods permits, but did not approve two permits by the Eagle River Business Association due to questions about possible conflict with the Festival of Flavors the same weekend; approved a state/municipal agreement for a local bicy-

Roundys to send veterans on flights to nations capitol

Roundys Supermarkets Inc. will salute veterans and support Honor Flight by giving those who have served in the armed forces a chance to see national monuments dedicated to their service Oct. 8 on Roundys All-Wisconsin Day. Recognition of veterans kicked off in store ads for Pick n Save, Copps and Rainbow. There is a Pick n Save store in Eagle River. Also highlighted in the ads are products from companies that are joining the effort, giving customers a chance to participate and support the troops. For every featured item purchased, 10 cents up to $100,000 will be donated to the honor flights scheduled to depart from various Wisconsin airfields Oct. 8. The program will send two chartered 757 planes carrying 225 World War II veterans from Milwaukee to Washington, D.C. On the same day, another 200 World War II veterans will leave Madison and Appleton for the nations capitol. Part of the proceeds from this effort also will go toward taking Minnesota veterans to Washington on an Oct. 4 Honor Flight leaving Duluth, Minn. The mission of Stars & Stripes Honor Flight is to fly WWII veterans and terminally ill veterans from other wars to see their memorials in Washington, D.C.

Area students assist Anvil Lake residents in AIS removal effort

During a recent two-day volunteer project, six high school students and their counselors assisted residents of Anvil Lake in Eagle River by participating in an invasive species removal project. The project brought together the forces of Washington Water Resources Committee member Sandy Gillum, Vilas County Land and Water conservationist Carolyn Scholl, the Wisconsin Upward Bound Program and several Anvil Lake residents, who worked to remove the Canada, swamp and bull thistles in the Anvil lakebed. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources identifies the exotic, noxious Canada thistle as native to Europe. Its hairy stems can grow between 2 and 5 feet, sporting spiny leaves and can vigorously overtake native Wisconsin species if allowed to flower and go to seed. The students delved into the task of digging up and bagging thistle root balls using donated shovels, bags and gloves from local residents and Trees For Tomorrow. More than 60 bags of thistles were removed from the shoreline of Anvil Lake as a result of the project. The bags were disposed of at the town transfer station. The undaunted efforts of these energetic students were greatly appreciated by Anvil homeowners and, hopefully, their work will be the beginning of a concerted effort to remove thistles from the Anvil Lake watershed, said Anvil Lake resident Bobbie Kocim.

St. Germain man joins state effort to rid invasive spotted knapweed

After contacting a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wildlife biologist, Dick Kloepfer of St. Germain recently released a weevil species in an attempt to rid area roads of spotted knapweed a highly reproductive invasive plant that releases chemicals toxic to surrounding plants.
Kloepfer decided to take an aggressive approach to protect the native plants in his area by contacting Oehmichen. He made arrangements for me to receive enough weevils to treat the areas that I told him about, said Kloepfer. He told me that the weevils have been used for 70 years in some places, and that theres been Kloepfer first no negative efdiscovered the 2fects from using to 3-foot tall pink them to control inplants while jogvasive plants. ging on Sayner According to and St. Germain Oehmichens artiroads last year cle, adult-stage after attending a seed head weevils presentation defoliate knapabout terrestrial weed plants and invasives by Ted lay their eggs in A knapweed weevil deRitter, invasive species coordina- vours flowers and seeds. the head of the flower.

I started pulling the plants up by the roots and placing them in the middle of the road to die, said Kloepfer. This method of getting rid of the invasive was not very effective. Then Kloepfer saw Oehmichens article in Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine. The article, Weevil Warriors, alerted Kloepfer to the possibility of using seed head weevils to eradicate infestations of spotted knapweed. The knapweed can produce thousands of seeds per plant, said Kloepfer. Theyre mainly spread by car tires, and the plants start by growing along the roads edge. Oehmichen said these seeds can remain viable for more than eight years, which is part of the reason for the DNRs combative approach in dealing with the spotted knapweed. Efforts to control the spotted knapweed have been ongoing in the U.S. since the

1960s, making it one of the oldest biological control programs in the nation. The Wisconsin DNR in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture joined the fight in 1991 by releasing two species of seed head flies, according to Oehmichen. Since then, five other biological control species have been used by the state DNR, including the seed head weevils provided to Kloepfer. Biological control is an effective, long-term answer to suppress spotted knapweed in Wisconsin, said Oehmichen in the magazine article. But the process is slow, and spot-
ted knapweed is a formidable enemy. To get involved in stopping spotted knapweed, join your local weed district, adopt a highway or local conservation group and help to map infested areas. By keeping a vigilant eye on local flora, Kloepfer said he is potentially preventing the expansion of an invasive species. Lets hope the weevils I released will be effective in our area, said Kloepfer. For more information about the effort to control spotted knapweed, e-mail Oehmichen at Wade.Oehmichen@Wisconsin.gov.

Focus on safety
Spirit pilots using night-vision goggles
If theres one word to describe Ministrys Spirit Medical Transportation Service (MTS) Eurocopter 145, its safe. From night-vision goggles to a dual hydraulic system to state-of-the-art avionics package, everything is focused on safety. Safety is what its all about, said Nils Strickland, pilot with Spirit MTS. The advanced equipment and technology on this EC145 aircraft doesnt mean that we make flights we normally wouldnt make, but they enhance the level of safety for the flights we do make. Other technologies include multifunction displays for terrain awareness warning and traffic collision avoidance systems, satellite weather information, navigation charts and real-time radar. The EC145, in use now for nearly a year, is powered by two Turbomeca ARRIEL engines and is especially designed for emergency medical service missions. It is single pilot Instrument Flight Rated and has a cruise speed of 133 kts (about 153 miles per hour). Most recently, the crew has trained to become proficient in using night-vision goggles, in part to aid in establishing landing zones. The goggles give us a whole new perspective of whats going on outside of the aircraft at night, said Strickland. They magnify the light that is already out there and give us a lot of detail of any hazards, such as power poles, trees or road signs. They are especially helpful for scene calls. One example that came to the mind of Greg Rosenthal, Spirit paramedic, was a call last December in the Thorp area. A hunter had fallen from a tree stand, and had been suspended in a harness 25 feet up for most of the day, in subfreez-

ing temperatures. He suffered from severe hypothermia. The Thorp Fire Department did an excellent job setting up the landing zone on a rural county road, Rosenthal said. But it was a hard landing zone, because there were trees on both sides of the road, and power lines on one side. With the goggles on, we had increased ability to see the obstacles and were able to land in a significantly tight area. The landing and liftoff went smoothly and the patient was safely transported to Ministry Saint Josephs Trauma Center. He was able to be discharged the next day. The goggles also help in identifying possible severe weather.
When flying at night, where there are no surface lights, the first thing that disappears is the horizon, said Strickland. With the goggles, we can see the ground, the horizon and the cloud base. We can see where the cloud ceiling is, and if there are rain or snow showers, so we can avoid them. The EC145 is among the safest and reliable helicopters out there. It has become the aircraft of choice for emergency medical services because of its maximum flexibility and configuration, said Monty Gallegos, director of Spirit MTS. We are confident that it will continue to allow us to provide the safest, highestquality medical transport to meet the needs of our growing service area.
Homeless count to take place July 27

The Northern Wisconsin Initiative to Stop Homelessness (NWISH) Continuum of Care will join homelessness coalitions around the state Wednesday, July 27, in completing a local count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Staff and volunteers will count persons in shelters on the night of July 27, as well as persons residing on the streets, under bridges or similar places not intended for human habitation. The point-in-time count is a statewide initiative, and this is the third time we will be counting unsheltered individuals in the North Woods, stated Erica Brewster, family living agent for the UW-Extension in Oneida County. She explained that teams of individuals will be in Rhinelander, Minocqua, Eagle River, Antigo and other larger communities to locate individuals sleeping in public places. They have requested support from local law enforcement to help identify locations known to be shelters for homeless individuals. This is just one step in the process of helping identify and assist individuals in crisis, Brewster concluded. According to Brewster, the collected data will assist the community in understanding the scope and size of local homelessness, engaging in programs and service development, and in applying for state and federal funding. This statewide count occurs in January and once in July. For more information, call Lori Hallas at (715) 365-7842 or Erica Brewster at 365-2750.

Dont forget to keep fishing adventures fun
CATCHING FISH is just part of what kids love about a fishing trip, and its important that fishing mentors make having fun the top priority. The fun part is more critical than anything else because youll never keep a child interested in the sport long enough to learn the ins and outs, if they turn up their nose the next time you try to plan an outing. The scribbler was reminded of that age-old theory on how to share the sport while hosting a couple of grade-schoolers during Guides/Kids Fishing Day last Thursday. The two names I picked from the hat included Luke Rhode of Eagle River, a third-grader at Northland Pines, and Stevie Carson of St. Josephs, Mich., a sixth-grader. They were two of 38 kids who got to fish with a guide or so-called guide during the 27th annual event. The bobbers were popping and dropping in those first few minutes, and we decided to let the crappies and bluegills swim in the livewell before we released them later. I soon learned that the livewell was more interesting than fish pulling down bobbers. At one point, Luke was elbowdeep in the well trying to catch and look at every fish. And after Stevie landed a nice bass, he joined the fish observation session with the confidence of having caught the biggest of the day. What I saw last week confirms that mentors need to be flexible with young anglers. Hook them on

the sport now and worry about the details later. The patience will come when they finally appreciate the challenge. As kids whove never met before often do, they got along quite well. At one point they were both singing words to some hip-hop song Ive never heard and, for all I know, they were singing to the fish as they caught them by hand and released them back into the livewell. We mixed in the occasional drinks and eats, courtesy of local businesses and the Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center. Changing locations, running the electric anchors and skimming the surface under power all seemed just as significant as catching fish. The biggest accomplishment of the day was Lukes transition to casting with an openfaced spinning reel, something he said he hadnt done before. By the end of the afternoon, he was casting as far as anyone else. His aim, however, still needs a little work. The bite was fairly consistent but not so fast that anyone got spoiled. A lot of them ended in hook-sets where the fish dove into
heavy weeds and usually got off on their own. None of the fish were whoppers by any stretch of the imagination, yet time slipped by far too quickly and nobody was happy when it came time for last cast. The purpose of the event has always been to give kids an afternoon on the water with a guide or so-called guide basically any avid angler who can show the youngsters a good and safe time. It was founded in the era when Take a Kid Fishing was a statewide theme. Even bluegills are big fish for this event. The afternoon was perfectly scripted. Two eagles were working the end of the lake we were on, firing out those screeching calls that cant be mistaken for any other creature. The livewell contained 20 crappies and bluegills and one nice bass, but they decided then to let them all go. With a small net in hand, they took turns capturing and releasing the fish. Its blessings from heaven when you get to meet, fish and make friends with two kids you would otherwise have never known, which is the real beauty of Guides/Kids Day. Theres no other conclusion that fits, I thought, standing at the fairgrounds at the end of a great afternoon on the water as their parents snapped some photos to mark the event for the family photo collection. Its an extra joy to fish with

kids in that 7- to 8-year-old range. They are young enough to be teachable but old enough to be genuinely thrilled with the adventure. Either of these boys would be welcome in my boat again. The Take a Kid Fishing theme deserves widespread support for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is teaching kids a sport that will keep them in touch with the great outdoors for a lifetime.
The Eagle River Guides Association initiated and continues to support a fantastic event for kids. I know of no other event where kids get one-on-one attention from the guides for an afternoon. I truly believe that getting kids involved in such outdoor pursuits will prevent many of them from some very negative alternatives alcohol, drugs and crime, to name a few.

Children ages 7 to 12 participated in the 31st annual Guides/Kids Fishing Day last Thursday, hosted by the Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center along with the Eagle River Guides Association. Twenty area fishing guides took 38 youths out for a day of fishing on area lakes, according to chamber events coordinator Kim Emerson. It was a fun-filled day for all who attended, declared Emerson. We started the day off with registration, a casting contest and a learning seminar on how to catch panfish and how to tie a hook onto your line, all at the Vilas County Fairgrounds, said Emerson. Then it was time for the most-awaited part of the day the drawing of names to go fishing with area guides. Emerson said the day was aided by picture-perfect weather cloudy and mild with temperatures in the 60s. We are very happy to say 20 guides from all around the area volunteered their time to take two kids fishing in their boats on area lakes, said Emerson. The guides not only shared their fishing gear with the kids, but they shared some of their fishing secrets and special fishing stories. Emerson said the youths were from all over the Midwest, either visiting the area or from the greater Eagle River area. The best part of the day was seeing the kids with large smiles when their name was drawn to fish with a guide or the excitement they had when they caught their first fish, said Emerson. The guides were able to take 38 of 50 youths who preregistered out in the boat fishing for the day. The other kids unable to fish with a guide enjoyed fishing stories and having the opportunity to fish in the trout ponds at the Watersmeet Trout Hatchery in Wa-
Heat wave turns fish to evening, night bite

With the recent summer heat wave, the water temperatures have spiked right up through the 70s, and the 80s are in sight. This will make the fishing even tougher during the daytime as the fish have adapted to an evening or night feeding pattern with the water traffic and the heat. While weed growth is right up to the top on many lakes, some waters are again in the position of needing heavy rain in the area. Several inches of rain fell Sunday night and Monday afternoon which should help those water levels. Walleye fishing has been improving, with the fish moving back into the weeds after that very late mayfly hatch Kevin Livermore of Campton in the area.

Many anglers are now using leeches rather than minnows, but both will work most days. Look for fish to be locating deeper on the clear lakes as deep as 30 feet during the daytime. A half-crawler on a jig works well. Bass action has been spotty, but when they have been hitting, it has been very good. The largemouths are in the weeds and will hit plastics or spinner baits willingly. Crawlers are the best live bait for them. Smallie action has been a little less consistent but very good at times. For the smallmouths, look to the drop-off areas with hard bottom. Use either leeches for live bait or crayfish imitations for artificial bait. Tube jigs and crankbaits work very well. Fish in the 6- to 12-foot range for the smallies. Muskie action has been inconsistent with the weather. Some nice fish have been caught in the area, especially in the evenings and at night. All bait types are working now, with some nice surface bait action reported in the area. For your best chance at a real trophy, you should be night fishing on a regular basis. Panfish action is very good. Most every lake in the area has a good population of bluegills in the weeds, ready to hit worms on a daily basis. Crappies are hitting well and locating in the deeper weed areas and on deep brush piles. Perch have been hitting small leeches and minnows very well in the deep weeds. Despite the heat, it should be a good midsummer week for all anglers. Good luck and good fishin.

tersmeet, Mich., said Emerson. Emerson said Bill Hassey was chairman of Guides/Kids Fishing Day. We would like to give a special thank-you to Hassey and the 20 guides who spent time on the water sharing the out-of-doors with our youths, said Emerson. Emerson said many of the guides give up a day on the water with a paying client to take two or three youths fishing for a half day. This event and the opportunity to fish with a guide truly means a lot to these kids, said Emerson. Also, a special salute to all the volunteers who helped make sure the event ran smoothly from all angles. And, most of all, a big thank-you to the more than 30 area sponsors who made this event possible and free to all the kids. Emerson said next years Eagle River Chamber of Commerce Guides/Kids Day will be July 12, 2012.

OUTDOORS Surveys show larger muskies on lakes with no stocking: DNR

Preliminary results from fisheries studies are showing that, a decade after an overhaul of Wisconsins muskie stocking strategy, the changes are boosting fish size. Well need more surveys and time to fully look at the data, but I think it is safe to say that on the subset of lakes where we actually stopped stocking muskies, we have seen a reduction in their abundance but a big improvement in their size, said Steve Avelallemant, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) northern fisheries supervisor for the last 25 years. The average proportion of 42-inch and larger fish in these populations more than doubled, increasing from about 7% to about 17% five or more years after stocking ended. Thirty years ago, the rule of thumb was to stock lakes at twice the annual harvest rate. Because there wasnt good information on the harvest, fisheries staff assumed the harvest rate to be one fish per acre, according to Tim Simonson, the DNRs longtime warm-water species specialist, and co-chairman with Avelallemant of the DNRs muskie committee. So most lakes were getting stocked at two fish per acre, regardless of whether the lake had naturally reproducing muskies. By the late 1990s, the muskie world was changing. Higher minimum-length limits were in place and catch and release had taken hold, Simonson said. It was clear that the stocking formula overestimated the harvest. In the early 1980s, the projected harvest from 356 Class A, or trophy waters, was 38,318 fish statewide. By 1990, that total had dropped to an estimated 8,541 fish, and by 2001, only 1,987 muskies were kept by anglers.
DNR projects for Vilas, Oneida to be discussed

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will host an open house meeting in Lake Tomahawk Tuesday, July 26, to discuss management on its properties in Oneida and Vilas counties. The open house will be at the Raymond F. Sloan Community Center from 5 to 7 p.m. The community center is located at 7245 Main St. in Lake Tomahawk. Resource managers will be available to answer questions and share their plans for the next years work on lands owned by the DNR in those two counties, according to Steve Petersen, superintendent of the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest. In addition to projects on the state forest, Peterson said projects are being expanded to include the rest of the DNR-owned property in the two counties.

So, starting in 2001, the DNR changed its stocking strategy, a move described in the Natural Resources Magazine article, Long Live the Kings. Each of the 220 stocked muskie waters in the state at that time was assigned to a specific stocking practice for 10 years based on its reproductive status. Stocking rates ranged from zero, where stocking was stopped because natural reproduction existed, to a rate of .5, one and two fish per acre in waters where the fishery depended on stocking. Since the change, preliminary data on 75% of the lakes where stocking was stopped shows that 95% show some evidence of natural reproduction and that the proportion of larger fish is increasing, Simonson said. In order to confirm these initial results, the DNR will conduct more detailed surveys on several of these populations over the next two to three years, Simonson said. The better size structure is likely due to several factors including maturation of more abundant year classes of muskies when stocking was
greater as well as increased voluntary catch and release and the effects of higher minimum-length limits where those are in force. The future of our muskie fisheries as far as larger fish goes looks pretty good, Avelallemant said. For those anglers who still favor strikes over size, there are plenty of waters to keep them happy as well 250 of the total 794 lakes or river segments across Wisconsin with muskies are so-called action waters. The muskie season opened May 28 in Wisconsin north of U.S. Highway 10, excluding Wisconsin/Michigan boundary waters, and run through Nov. 30. The daily bag limit is one and the minimum-length limit is 34 inches in most cases, but some lakes have special regulations. For more information on regulations, consult the Guide to Wisconsin Hook and Line Fishing Regulations 2011-12 or the Wisconsin muskie page of the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.
Lake fair set this Saturday at Lake Tom

The Tomahawk Lake Association (TLA) will host its second annual Lake Tomahawk Lake Fair Saturday, July 23, from 1 to 5 p.m. at Camp Indian Shores. The free event will feature nature-themed family activities, rain or shine. We have fun family activities planned for the day and, dont tell your kids, but they might learn something, too, said Ned Greedy, TLA executive director. Some of the activities planned include instruction on kayaking, sailing and fly casting; arts and crafts; and speakers from the Oneida County Water Rescue Team. Food will be available. Although the lake fair focuses on entertainment, attendees can glean useful knowledge. With this great fair, the Tomahawk Lake Association will raise awareness among the Lakeland community about what we can all do to keep resources like Tomahawk Lake beautiful, said Greedy.

Disabled deer hunt sign-up open through Sept. 1: DNR

Hunters with disabilities can sign up for the 2011 disabled gun deer hunt by contacting sponsoring landowners directly to make arrangements. Deer hunters are welcome to contact sponsors as soon as possible so sponsors can meet the Sept. 1 deadline to submit a list of participating hunters to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The list of sponsoring landowners for the 2011 hunt is available on the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov. The disabled gun deer hunt for hunters began in 1990 to give opportunities to hunt deer when temperatures are milder and mobility is less of a problem. The hunts are sponsored by private individuals or organizations and almost entirely take place on privately owned lands. Hunters must possess a valid Class A Permit, a Class B Permit for People with Disabilities issued for more than one year and that authorizes shooting from a vehicle, or a Class C Disabled Hunting Permit to be eligible to participate in the disabled deer hunt. The annual disabled deer hunt will take place from Oct. 1-9 this year. More information is available on the disabled deer hunting page of the DNR website.

Eagle River Speedway crowns midseason points champions
Jason Zdroik, Dustin Miller and Ty Springer took home midseason trophies, winning their respective feature events at the Eagle River Speedway midseason points championship Tuesday night. Eagle Rivers Racin Jason Zdroik patiently worked his way through the 14-car field by taking the lead in the 12th lap of the 20-lap feature for the B-Mods. Fellow Eagle River driver Bruce Belland gave Zdroik all he could handle to get the lead and hold on to it. Zdroik said he wasnt nervous to race among 13 other cars. I enjoy racing with that many cars, he said. I knew that we had good drivers in front of me at the start. Belland ran a good race. Dustin Miller of Rhinelander won his seventh Pure Stocks feature, taking home the midseason points championship. Miller grabbed the lead in the second lap and held off Ryan Valeria and Don Scharf of Eagle River to take the checkered flag. Ben Pitlik of Eagle River, who led in Street Stocks points last year, was in a bumper-to-bumper race with Jeff Klopstein of Baraga, Mich. Klopstein tried every line on the track to get around

Chain Skimmers to host jump clinic, tournament

The Chain Skimmers Water-ski Show team is currently in the middle of its 41st season, wowing fans with thrilling shows three days a week with the theme based on the popular movie Grease. But the Chain Skimmers also hold many special events throughout the summer. The team will host the Mats The Mobius Mirick Jump Clinic and Tournament Friday, July 29, at the Lake Pleasant ski site, located 12 miles north of Eagle River. Mirick, a friend and teammate of the Chain Skimmers, unexpectedly passed away in early May. Mats was known nationwide for his show skiing, natural jump abilities and the mobius, said Mandi West of the Chain Skimmers. People also may remember Mats Mirick for his million-dollar smile and showmanship, which was sure to light up the whole crowd. The clinic will be led by Scotty Clack, a world-recognized show skier, freestyle jumper and member of the Water Ski Hall of Fame. It will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be open to freestyle jumpers of all abilities. Early registration is required and the clinic will cost $60. After an hourlong intermission for food, refreshments and entertainment, the tournaments will begin. At 5 p.m., an endurance barefoot tournament will be held, followed by a freestyle jump tournament. Each tourney has a $30 entry fee, or $50 for both. The fee includes a T-shirt and bumper sticker. Participants must be registered by 4 p.m. the day of the tournament. Winners will receive half of the tourney entry fees. The event will be open to the public. Concessions will be available throughout the day, and apparel also will be sold. Proceeds will help fund a new jump for the Chain Skimmers in honor of Mirick. For more information, to donate or to register, contact Liza at (414) 840-8219. The Chain Skimmers originated in 1970 at the Eagle River T-docks and moved to Lake Pleasant north of Conover in 1979, entertaining hundreds of thousands of North Woods visitors and residents for the past four decades. Our success has not come easily, but it has been made possible due to teamwork, dedication and continued support from our local communities, parents and of course our audience, said West. As a non-profit organization, our skiers donate their time, effort and talents. All our proceeds go back into producing a quality show, which we perform throughout the summer. The Chain Skimmers host regular season shows every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 7 p.m. Be sure to call the ski park at (715) 547-6156 for schedule changes.

I knew Klopstein was right behind me throughout the race, said Pitlik. Its just that my car was handling so well that I could basically drive anywhere on the track that I wanted to. Last years Micro Sprints points champion, Robby Resch of Antigo, won both the feature and the heat race Tuesday. However, taking home the Micro Sprints midseason championship was Mike Hicks of Eagle River. Resch and Hicks were asked if they think someone will hit the 95 mph mark and break Reschs track record of 14.60 seconds. We have a lot of races yet to go, and I feel that record will be broken, said Hicks. I believe that if the micro sprinter is set up right and the conditions are right, someone will break my record, said Resch.

TNT leaders sweep WISSOTA classes

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW

Spectators crowded the stands of Eagle River Speedway last Tuesday, watching the finish of a Micro Sprints heat race. The fan-
favorite Micros can reach speeds in the 90-miles-per-hour range during races around the track.
It was clean sweeps all around at TNT Speedway on a steaming, hot Saturday night, with Bruce Belland of Eagle River and John Kallas of Hurley padding points leads in the WISSOTA AMSOIL Dirt Track Series (WADTS) Midwest Modifieds and Street Stocks, respectively. However, it wasnt easy for them, nor was it easy for Chris Nylund of Rhinelander in the TNT Bombers or Bo Bennish of Wausau in the TNT Stingers, as all four feature races were hotly contested. Belland was slated to start third in the WADTS Midwest Mods feature, but moved up to the pole when Terry Stebbeds couldnt answer the bell. Belland took the lead on the drop of the green, but Jerry Grasse, who had won the two previous features at TNT, was right behind him. The two dueled for much of the race, which was slowed by five cautions. Belland inched away on the final restart with seven laps remaining to take the win. Grasse, Jeff McDonald, Stan Rychlock and Joe Kin rounded out the top five as Bellands lead over Grasse stretched to five at the halfway point of the season. Kallas rocketed from the sixth starting spot to the lead in just three laps in the WADTS Street Stocks feature, while Jordan Kurtti, who started last after a spin in the heat race, worked his way into second by lap nine. A
yellow for a spin involving Jeff Mullins and Troy LaRock slowed the field two laps later, setting up a nine-lap dash. With Visser and Kurtti on his heels, Kallas focused on driving to take his third win of the season and second in a row at TNT. Visser, Kurtti and Leif Gunderson were right behind him at the line, and Ben Pitlik rounded out the top five. Bo Bennish and John Barlowski staged a battle in the TNT Stingers. Bennish took the lead on lap four, only to have Barlowski root his way past a couple of laps later. Barlowskis lead grew during the middle laps of the race to as many as five car lengths at one point. On the final lap, Bennish leaned on Barlowski, pushing out of the groove in turns one and two, and passing him for the win. Eric LaFreniere, Ryan Schuppler and Zach Degner rounded out the top five. Next Saturday at TNT Speedway is the WISSOTA AMSOIL Race of Champions qualifier at TNT Speedway. The winner of next Saturday nights features in the WADTS Midwest Mods and Street Stocks will punch their ticket to the AMSOIL Race of Champions at the WISSOTA 100 this September in Huron, S.D. Hot laps will begin at 7 p.m. with racing at 7:45 p.m. For more information, visit tntspeedway.com.

Newlyweds dine and golf with Brewers TV analysts

In a promotion offered by the Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center and FOX-FSN Wisconsin Milwaukee Brewers TV Network, Matt and Kari Pederson of Independence recently won a trip to Eagle River to golf and dine with Milwaukee Brewers TV analysts Davey Nelson and Craig Coshun. Picked from thousands of entries, the couples winning package included complimentary items such as lodging at Wild Eagle Lodge, dinner at Chanticleer Inn, golf at Eagle River Golf Course and dinner at Eagle Waters Resort. Everyone was extremely impressed by the quality of the golf course and the support provided by course golf professional Brad Missling, said Eagle River chamber director Conrad Heeg. The Pedersons, who were married just two days prior to the trip, spent the first three days of their honeymoon in Eagle River. The trip filled in a threeday gap in the Brewers schedule due to the MLB AllStar Game break, and the couple planned a trip to Colorado and Arizona to attend Brewers away games for the remainder of their honeymoon. They are hard-core baseball fans and did not even have to change their reservations, said Heeg. They just drove to the Minneapolis airport from Eagle River instead of from their home in Independence to begin their originally scheduled honeymoon. The happy couple promised many returns to Eagle River in the future.

NEWS-REVIEW Lifes lessons arent always defined in black/white

HERES HOPING you are having a nice summer vacation season. It is a good time to reflect on lifes little mysteries. The following essay was shared with me by local friends who got it from friends of theirs. I believe that just because two people argue, it doesnt mean they dont love each other. And just because they dont argue, it doesnt mean they do. I believe that we dont have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe that no matter how good a friend is, theyre going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I believe that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. I believe that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I believe that its taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I believe that you should leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I believe that you can keep going long after you think you cant. I believe that we are responsible for what we do, no
People Make the Difference

By Byron McNutt
matter how we feel. I believe that either you control your attitude or it controls you. I believe that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I believe that money is a lousy way of keeping score. I believe that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. I believe that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when youre down will be the ones to help you get back up. I believe that sometimes when Im angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesnt give me the right to be cruel. I believe that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences youve had and what youve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays youve celebrated. I believe that it isnt always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I believe that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesnt stop for your grief. I believe that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I believe that you shouldnt be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. I believe two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I believe that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who dont even know you. I believe that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help. I believe that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. I believe that the people you care about the most in life are taken from you too soon.
Mahatma Gandhi once said, Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever. * * * A VERY ATTRACTIVE airline flight attendant was being hustled by two aggressive male passengers, one in first class and the other in coach. Mr. Macho in first class gave her a slip of paper with his address and apartment number. It read, Just show up! He gave her a sly wink. When she went by Mr. Smoothie in the coach section, he pleaded, Come on, where do I get in touch with you? She took Mr. Machos slip of paper and gave it to Mr. Smoothie, smiled seductively and said, Just show up! * * * WE WERE AT a local supper club recently and there was a couple seated at a table for two when the man suddenly slid from his chair. A panicked server rushed over and said, Madam, your husband is slumped under the table. Should I call for help? No, hes not, the woman replied. My husband just walked in the door.

Conservationists should win on DNR secretary change
Sound, consistent decisions that support conservation-minded management of Wisconsins natural resources are the goal of yet another legislative attempt to return appointment of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) secretary to a citizen-run board. A bill has been introduced in the state Senate that would take from the governor the ability to select a political appointee as head of the DNR. That practice has been the case since 1995, when Republicans under former Gov. Tommy Thompson ended a 67-year stint of having that important individual selected by the citizen-run Natural Resources Board. Similar legislation was vetoed twice by Doyle, who supported the change as an attorney general and gubernatorial candidate but didnt want to give up that authority once he was elected governor. The last time, in March 2010, 38 Assembly Republicans helped Doyle get away with the veto instead of handing him what would have been one of the biggest political setbacks of his career. The current bill, introduced by Sen. Jim Holperin (D-Conover), is yet another attempt to bend the ear of state government to the multitude of conservation-minded citizens who have pushed for change virtually every year since 1995. Gubernatorial control of the DNR secretary has resulted in the selection of money counters and personnel managers with little or no background in the environmental sciences or natural resources. The results have included poor leadership in the management of many wildlife species, including wolves, bear and deer. It caused the agency to get far behind in the battle against aquatic invasive species. Its important to note that the conservation community, including thousands of hunters, anglers and trappers representing some 270 groups, want the DNR secretary to be appointed by the citizen-run board. One reason is that programs designed exclusively for Wisconsin sportsmen and -women have been severely affected by general budget cuts including raids on segregated accounts for budget-balancing purposes. Granted, neither process of selecting the DNR secretary is perfect or without political influence. Even members of the Natural Resources Board are appointed by the governor of one political party or another. Yet we believe history shows us that the likes of former secretaries Tony Earl and George Meyer were better than recent choices. We also would support setting stricter guidelines for those who qualify to serve on the Natural Resources Board. They should be hunters, anglers or trappers. At least one member of the board, at all times, should be a farmer. Such requirements might make it more difficult for a governor to make an appointment that is purely political. Wisconsin needs leaders with a passion for protecting the woods, water and wildlife of this state, as opposed to those who would sell out our environmental protections like recycling and shoreland zoning for political reasons.

A doctor a day keeps apples away
I THINK Ill be OK, although Ive sure been going to see a lot of doctors lately. A few weeks ago, I went to see my all-purpose doctor. Hes the one whose name I fill in if the form asks for the name of my physician or family doctor. The fact that no one else in my family goes to him has no bearing on that. Even though I know a lot of people die the day after their doctor says theyre in good health, Im always encouraged when my doctor says Im doing fine. He lies a little to me, but I like that in a doctor. During my last checkup, he told me I ought to see an ophthalmologist and have my eyes checked, so Im going to do that even though I feel I have absolutely no trouble with my eyes that being 50 years younger wouldnt cure. Yesterday, I got a notice from my dentist that its time for a checkup. My idea of when its time for a checkup is when something starts to hurt, but my dentist doesnt agree with that. He has an excellent assistant who cleans my teeth, so I submit to that and, while I dont agree with the notice that its time for a checkup, I guess Ill go. Three weeks ago, I woke in the morning with a painful knee. Its tennis season and I want to be able to play. My family physician had knee surgery himself a few years ago, so I called his office to get the name of his orthopedist. I figured if he was good enough for my doctor, he was good enough for me. I went to the orthopedist last week. He bent both knees in circles, doing his best to dislocate them, and concluded that the knee that was giving me trouble was probably going to be OK, but that my other knee, which was not bothering me, was in bad shape.

Theres something about Mary

THERES SOMETHING about Mary. Actually, that goofy movie in which Brett Favre made his first and hopefully last feature film acting performance has nothing to do with the Mary of this story, but in my inimitable, goofy way, I thought it would make for a good-humor introduction. Last weekend, I had a chance to fish with Mary not she of the aforesaid movie, but she of Freeport, Ill., who is a co-worker and friend of my great friend, Dr. Greg Harmston. Mary and I fished together last Friday and, among other things, it took me a while to get used to Greg being referred to as Dr. Harmston, as I have only known him as Greg since he was a towheaded young kid camping at

Razorback Lake many years ago. Mary, who hadnt caught many fish in her life, turned out to be an awesome fishing partner as we performed as a largemouth catching machine for a few hours on an unnamed north Wisconsin lake. Mary reminded me a great deal of my daughter-in-law, Holli, who was a raw beginner the first time I shared a boat with her. Some of my longtime readers may remember that Holli and I used to compete with

the Evil Ones, otherwise known as my son, Brooks, and my oftentimes fishing and hunting partner, Dirty Doug McDrew. For several years, the four of us would spend the evening of opening day fishing together for walleyes Holli and I in one boat, Doug and Brooks in the other. There was an intense air about those evenings as each team tried to outdo the other with first, biggest and most fish. My greatest joy came in watching Holli develop into quite the fisherman, albeit one who needed guidance in the finer points of fishing etiquette, skills and most of all skullduggery.

OP-ED/READER OPINION
Saddened by booing at parade
Dear Editor: My children, husband and I were at the Fourth of July parade in Three Lakes this year. I have come to Three Lakes every summer for vacation for all of my 38 years of life. This was the first time that we were in Three Lakes for the Fourth of July. While in attendance at the Fourth of July parade, I could not believe how Holperin was received during the parade. I have been to many parades in many cities and towns and I have never seen such rude and disrespectful behavior from so many people at what was so supposed to be a celebratory occasion. Holperin was loudly booed by many people and I witnessed him trying to shake citizens hands and some citizens even refused to shake his hand. With my two young daughters there, I had to explain this behavior to them because I did not want them to think that it was acceptable for people (adults) to act that way. I had to explain to them that even though we may not believe or agree with someone or what they stand for, we should still be respectful and considerate of everyone. I was deeply saddened that I had to teach my children this lesson at a Fourth of July parade in my favorite town on Earth. It truly put a damper on our day and I was sickened by the amount of people who acted so negatively and rudely at a Fourth of July parade. Julie Reichenberger Oshkosh

was that she was enthusiastic, particularly when she pulled the first walleye of the evening from the water two years in a row, both times fish in the 5-pound range that also took big-fish honors. I delighted in the way she caught the fish and the way she celebrated them, but oftentimes had to caution her about celebrating quietly, so that the entire lake and particularly our competition didnt know we were catching walleyes. On this occasion, I reference Hollis escapades mainly to give you an idea of what kind of fisherman Mary was last Friday, a fisherman equally as enthusiastic as Holli and equally as fun to fish with. Shortly after launching the boat, we got into our first largemouth, a scrapper of about 13 inches that I quickly landed and released.
When she hooked her first bigmouth, Mary quickly let the entire lake know she had one on, or at least the entire lake full of fishermen would have known had there been another fisherman on the lake. As it was, we had our wilderness-type lake back in the middle of nowhere all to ourselves, save for the companionship of the occasional painted turtle, one of which was dumb enough to grab a crawler on the end of my line, and Marys husband, Doug, who watched us fish and occasionally waded out knee-deep to throw a few casts from shore. Rain, except for one brief, light shower, held off as we fished away a late morning and early afternoon, our talk about shared friends and our families and the things we like to do interrupted on a regular basis by bass eager to grab an easy meal. Most of the 30 or so bass we caught were in the 11- to 13inch range, but Mary caught three or four that reached just
shy of 16. For variety, we each landed one jumbo perch, both over 13 inches, and a handful of nice bluegills. It was a good day for all, especially the fish, as we released everything we caught. The one thing I kept was the picture of a lady having the time of her life catching a bunch of fish, a fisherman who could care less what fish she was catching or how big they were. Several times we had two fish on at a time, and fairly late in our outing, just as we had threatened Doug with having to walk home if he didnt catch a fish he hadnt landed a single one to that point we had three fish on the line at once. I took an instant liking to Mary as she took over the chore of putting her own leeches on the hook after I had done the first one or two for her. All three of us hated to leave our little lake midway through the afternoon, but eventually we had to load up the Old Town and head back
to civilization. Once again, as was the case a few weeks ago with friends from Alabama, I had enjoyed a great fishing expedition with folks who enjoy fishing for what it is and always should be a pleasant reprieve from the business of life. And I really was thinking to myself on the way home as we wove around some deep potholes on the goat track of a dirt road that serves as access to our lake, there really is something about Mary. That something which actually goes for her entire family is how much joy a simple fishing outing can bring to a person. In the coming year, I will anticipate another outing just like it sometime next summer when these friends get together again. Only thing is, just as was the case with Holli, well have to work a little on all the shrieking that goes on when theres a big one on the end of the line.
People already said no to ATVs

Dear Editor: What is that saying about the squeaky wheel? Well, in this case, I am referring to the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) squeaky wheel(s). The current revival of this ATV issue is perplexing to me. Was there not an election in 2004 with a referendum question concerning ATVs using county land? Did the people vote, and by a margin of 2-1, say no, thus giving their county board a directive regarding this matter? I believe the answers are yes to both; the people indicated no ATV trails on Vilas County lands. Why then is no now being revisited? There are already wonderful established trails in several other counties that are ready and waiting to be used. Let us not duplicate what is out there, but instead, let this county continue to offer residents and guests beautiful lakes, quiet forest trails, scenic bike paths and familyfriendly parks. Allow vacationers to come and get away from the noise and frenzy of the city while allowing our present residents the serenity and quiet this area offers. So, I respectfully say to the ATV riders, enjoy and continue to ride, but ride on those county trails that are already in place for this particular activity. Debra Rekau Eagle River
Let ATVs run during summer

Dear Editor: Im confused! In this papers editorial of July 13, I was amazed to find would they (the Landover ATV Club) support a network of town road routes and county right of way trails that is closed during the peak of summer, say in July and August? If the object here is to increase tourism dollars, why not include the summer months when most tourists are here? Could it be that we want to just pretend or merely give the appearance of a county promoting peace and quiet recreation so the tourists wont go elsewhere? Bill Boscamp Land O Lakes
Business benefit, safety of ATVs on roads questioned

Dear Editor: In recent weeks, there have been letters pro and con concerning all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on county and town roads and Phelps in particular. Last week, there was also an article concerning our town and a proposal from the Landover ATV group. First, lets eliminate the my rights article that Mr. Fabish had in the paper June 22. Most people do not oppose his right to have an ATV. I would love to have one for ice fishing or, if we still had our hobby farm, to use for fun and work. But I dont. However, I guarantee his right to own and operate an ATV. However, can he guarantee my right to privacy, quiet and safe passage on the roads mentioned to be used for Phelps? Second, having been involved in both the restaurant and hotel business in the north area, I have some insight into the logic of the business argument. Will it benefit some businesses? Possibly. Although in talking to motel owners in Mercer, which has access to the Upper Peninsula, while there is increased business, much of it is offset by the extreme dirt brought into the facilities after the days ride. And overall, there was not a significant increase except in some taverns. Having been also in the restaurant/bar business for more than 25 years, I sympathize with the area people who put in all the long hours, invest in their communities, only to see declining business. If you are talking that it will benefit your specific business, then say so. Will it create new businesses in the Phelps area? If only. But probably not. If you can prove differently, Id be happy to listen. Then comes the danger element. Several years ago, traveling in winter, a snowmobile blew across the road a ways in front of me. The second guy never stopped. Having applied my brakes, I only gently spun his sled around. Lives would have been changed forever if I hadnt seen the first sled and been on the brake. That was one of two close calls. The other was toward East Shore Road and, luckily, I stopped in plenty of time. Drivers and riders of ATVs are no match for motor vehicles whether it be on the small, narrow roads of Sugar Maple or South Shore roads, or the major highways such as A and E. If this plan is implemented, I hope my concerns about the danger are never realized. Last, lets consider accountability. Mr. Fabish and Mr.Swiechichowski, as well as the Phelps Town Board, if approved, are you willing to accept the responsibility by letting us hold you and the Landover ATV Club responsible for any violations? If somebody comes down our road to see whats there, can we call you? If they decide to go off South Shore Road and see what is down the high line right of way, can we call you? If they are operating after 10 p.m., say midnight, can we call you then? If they decide to see whats down a snowmobile trail, can we call where the sun hits it most and I went to a dermatologist. She was a personal friend through marriage to someone Ive worked with in broadcasting. I wouldnt go to her for some things, but shes a bright, competent doctor and I dont keep the names of a lot of dermatologists in my head, so I went to her. She did some tests and determined that what I had was potentially dangerous, so her partner, who does surgery, removed it. For the last three years, Ive been getting a postcard saying Im due for a skin checkup. I got one last week you? If so, let all the people have some way of phoning you at any place, anytime. Since we cant catch them or see their registration, well just let you know, OK? After all, the good ATV people, and there are many, should not suffer for the stupid. Show me anybody who can call you day or night if they perceive a violation, and that the danger of ATVs and motor vehicles doesnt exist, and I will gladly support your right to ride. Without accountability, there is no right! Dave Zick Phelps
Eagle River needs cancer support group

Dear Editor: I am writing this in hopes it will bring attention and some action to the fact that there are absolutely no support groups for cancer here. Yes, there are groups in Rhinelander and Minocqua. But a lot of us cant travel that far for various reasons. Having recently been diagnosed and going through treatment myself, it was very sad to find out there wasnt anything for us cancer patients or our families and friends to go to, to help understand, accept and grieve. We need a support group in Eagle River! Cindy Sullivan Eagle River

Redistricting is next priority
___________
BY SEN. MARY LAZICH

___________
Now that the state budget is approved by the Legislature and signed by the governor, the next major undertaking of state government is legislative redistricting. The redistricting process begins with the national census taken every 10 years. When states receive the census information, detailing the number of people living in the state and their location, states must go about redrawing congressional and state legislative districts to reflect the new demographics. The state Legislature is charged with approving the new legislative districts through the same process as any other bill. The redistricting bill must gain approval of both houses of the Legislature and have the governors signature to become
law. During the 10 years since the last census, Wisconsins population increased approximately 300,000 people. The population growth did not occur evenly throughout the state. Some districts, including Senate District 28 that I represent, experience significant population increases. Others, including northern Wisconsin districts and Milwaukee districts, experience significant population decreases. Our state Constitution requires all senate districts, and all assembly districts are as equal in the number of inhabitants as practicable, an extension of the one-person, one-vote principle of democracy. To achieve equal representation, the entire legislative district map is redrawn after each census to assure each district includes the same, or as close to the same
as possible, number of citizens. The new districts take effect beginning with the fall 2012 general election. The target population for each new Senate district is 172,333. The ideal Assembly district is 57,444 people. The difference between the largest and smallest senate districts is just 1,076 citizens, or a deviation of 0.65%, well within the statutory maximum deviation of 1.05%. It has been decades since a redistricting plan was approved without intervention from the courts. The current map, created during 2002, was ultimately drawn by federal judges because Senate Democrats and Assembly ReTo LAZICH, Pg. 16A

The orthopedist, who I liked so much that I can hardly wait to have some serious bone problem, told me to take an anti-inflammatory drug for six days and my knee problem would probably clear up. I decided that if the knee would clear up with the pills, it would probably clear up without them, so I didnt take anything and the knee is much better. Four years ago, I had some funny bumps on my forehead

Silent-sports people discriminating against seniors, disabled veterans

Dear Editor: Once again we have the silent-sports people saying that only healthy residents have the right to enjoy our outdoors. This is discrimination against our growing senior population, our handicapped and our disabled veterans. These are people who might not be able to bike, walk, jog, crosscountry ski or snowshoe. They have issues like heart problems, bad backs, bad knees, missing limbs and other problems. Yet these people are here and also want to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. I find it disturbing that silent-sports people feel the need to sacrifice other sports to accomplish their goals, and then spend our federal and state road tax dollars to do this. Our all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and snowmobile clubs have and are building trail systems on monies we generate through registration and the hard work of our volunteers. Our residents without perfect health who now only have a couple of months of snowmobiling could now get out on the rest of the year to enjoy our outdoors. Equal rights for all.

READER OPINION Government sidestepping immigration bill

Letter to the Editor: American taxpayers, workers, senior citizens, wake up! Our country is being taken over by greed, especially in our government and businesses. The businesspeople are saying we cant pass an illegal immigration bill because it will cost them money and jobs. The government is sidestepping passing a strong immigration bill because they fear they will lose voters. Meanwhile, the problem keeps getting worse. The Anchor Baby Law is a farce. These babies are illegal immigrants, the same as their parents who crossed our border to deliver them here. The American people are now responsible for these babies and the parents. This can and is only happening in America. We cant afford the people we have in America who have lived here all their lives and have paid their way. We have people going hungry, with no place to sleep, poor health coverage, and these are legal citizens of the United States. Think about this: These children of illegal immigrants can run for president of the United States, even though they were born here by their parents breaking the law. The word illegal means nothing to them and, apparently, it means nothing to our government when it comes to illegal immigrants. This has been going on for years, and it looks like it will continue to go on because our government is more concerned about votes, their jobs and offending Mexico. Wake up, America!

POPs Revival set in Eagle River

Revival was held July 30, 1997, with 40 singers in the chorus. Since 1997, the revival has grown to the current 100-member choir and expanded the concerts to three nights. The Third World Handcraft Shoppe will be back this year and will be set up in the educational rooms of the church from 6 to 7 p.m. before and immediately following the concert each evening. The shop will include crafts of artisans in developing countries, such as baskets from Tanzania and Uganda; olive wood figures from Bethlehem; and ceramic figures and handwoven stoles from other Third World countries. There will be no admission to attend the concert; however, a freewill offering, matched by Prince of Peaces Thrivent branch, will be taken. This year the offering will be given to Warm The Children, Northern Access Special Olympics Wisconsin and The Salvation Army. Anyone who is interested in contributing to the freewill offering but who cannot attend the concert may direct donations to the Prince of Peace church office or by mail to Prince of Peace at P.O. Box 535, Eagle River, WI 54521. Make checks payable to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and To POPS, Pg. 2B

Groups plan caregiver class

Vilas County Commission on Aging and DayBreak Adult Center will sponsor Powerful Tools for Caregivers, an educational series designed to provide family caregivers with the tools they need to care for themselves. Classes will begin Thursday, Aug. 4, at 10 a.m. at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Eagle River. According to the commission, this program will help family caregivers reduce stress, improve self-confidence, communicate feelings better, balance their lives, increase their ability to make tough decisions and locate helpful resources. Classes will consist of six two-hour sessions held once a week. Two experienced class leaders will conduct the series and will include interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorming. The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class, will be included in the $25 registration fee. Scholarships are available. DayBreak Adult Center is a service which provides relief to caregivers that have elderly persons living with them. Social events and field trips are some of the activities provided. Daybreak meets every Thursday at Prince of Peace. For more information or to register, call Amie at (715) 4793725 or 1-(800) 374-1123. Class size is limited and preregistration is required.
Time is all we have

July 19 already? Now how did that happen? Fall clothes are already in the stores, school supplies fill the shelves and those who are heading off to college for the first time are getting closer to saying goodbye to parents who have mixed feelings about sending their kids out into the big world. It wont be long before we see Halloween items in store windows. Why does summer seem to fly by when winter months drag on and on? I would guess it is because we are so busy running about to various events and trips in the summer. Suddenly we wake up and it is Labor Day weekend. Time is so relative. Waiting 24 hours for a doctors report is an eternity, but spending time with a loved one flies by more quickly than the blink of an eye. Suddenly we wake up and the child we held as an infant is packed and off to college or walking down the aisle to be married or off to Afghanistan to become involved in a seemingly endless war. We see our parents, spouses and, yes, even our children cross deaths threshold too soon no matter how old they are. Yesterday, they were healthy and young. Where did yesterday go? One thing I have learned for the thousandth time is to live in the moment. Treasure each day because suddenly a day becomes a year and then a decade. The summers turn into autumn and then the snow begins to fall again. In time, wars end and some come home and some do not. Life offers questions to ask ourselves. Taking time to ponder these and others could pay off. Am I living the life I want to be living? If not, why not? What are the obstacles? Do I treat others with all the kindness and compassion I desire for myself? If not, today is a good time to begin. Do I listen to those who need to To FRIEDEL-HUNT, Pg. 2B

talk? Do I offer to help someone in need? Do I have a dream? What am I doing about it? Do I tell those I love that I love them? Have I forgiven those who hurt me? Taking an inventory of our lives from time to time can lead to changes we need to make. It can make our lives more meaningful and bring us happiness and joy. So, as we head into the second half of summer 2011, why not take a notebook, sit beneath a tree and do an inventory? See where it leads you. You never know what your inner voice might say if you only stop long enough to listen. Making just one change can take your life down a totally different path. Or you might discover that you really are living your life exactly the way you wish. As summer turns into fall and fall to winter, as days become years, dont waste precious moments. Time is all we have. Wasting it by walking in our sleep is a sad loss. Mary Friedel-Hunt, MA LCSW, is a freelance writer and psychotherapist in the Madison area.

What do the movie Field of Dreams and the Kovac Planetarium have in common? The owner, Frank Kovac Jr., knew that if he built it, they would come. Frank Kovac, designer, builder and owner of the Kovac Planetarium in Monico, started building the world's largest rolling mechanical globe planetarium in 1997. It took him 10 years to finish the only planetarium in northern Wisconsin. He dedicated the stargazing globe in memory of his father, Frank Kovac Sr., who taught his son to look up at the night sky with wonder. Kovac couldnt afford a projection system used in commercial planetariums, so instead built a stellar system which revolves around the audience. The globe is built of wood, steel and other common materials. He replicated the night sky by hand painting 5,000 correctly positioned stars with luminous paint. As part of Kovacs work, he prepares programs yearround about space and the Earths place in the universe. People are so touched by what Ive done that they thank me, but I feel thankful that theyve come to view the stars. Thats what
I enjoy the most, he said. Show times and the building process of the planetarium are posted on Kovacs website. Living in Chicago most of his early years, Kovac never experienced the brightness of the night sky until he vacationed in the North Woods. Though never intending to build a planetarium at the time, Kovac purchased property in the Monico area before he turned 20. The planetarium and Kovac have received much acclaim in recent months. His story appeared in local media and twice on CBS television. As a result of that coverage, Kovac received praise for his ingenuity and questions from those who have tried but failed. Visitors come from all 50 states and many foreign countries. Kovac hopes to inspire others. By doing it on my own, I could afford it, plus it gave me time to figure out the problems I encountered. Sometimes, if you have a dream and work really hard, it doesnt make any difference if it takes a while to finish. I failed many times trying to reach this goal, but I picked up and went ahead, Kovac explained. Now thats perseverance.

NorthStar plans health fair during Phelps picnic Aug. 9

___________
BY DON RUCK
___________
The Northwoods Living Care Foundation (NLCF) will host its 14th annual Picnic in the Park at Wavering Park in Phelps Tuesday, Aug. 9, from 5 to 9 p.m. for the benefit of the Phelps Volunteer Ambulance Service. A large part of the evening will be the annual health fair, which this year for the first time will be sponsored and staffed by NorthStar Health Systems of Iron River, Mich., according to foundation President Cathy Grady. We are happy to have NorthStar Health Systems join us because the hospitals nursing and medical staffs will provide a wider range of free services to those attending the event, said Grady. Lindsay Demske, director of marketing for NorthStar Health Systems, will coordinate the health fair. Our hospital is anxious to reach out to the folks and summer residents in Phelps and the surrounding area, said Demske. Our staff will provide health screens such as free blood pressure checks, sugar checks, heel bone density scans and oxygen checks. In addition, we will distribute cards for cholesterol checks. The person can take the card
to the hospital in Iron River and receive a cholesterol reading. We also will have promos for both children and adults, and distribute literature on our services and our new digital mammography technology. In 1996, Iron County General Hospital and Crystal Falls Community Hospital merged to form Iron County Hospital in order to better serve Iron County and the surrounding areas in northern Wisconsin. In 2008, the hospital launched an $18 million expansion and, a year later, the name of the medical facility was changed to NorthStar Health Systems. According to Bruce Rampage, president and CEO of NorthStar Health Systems, the hospital now has 28 doctors practicing in medical specialties, including behavioral health, cardiology, ear-nosethroat, family medicine, general surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology, optometry and pediatrics. NorthStar has approximately 300 employees and 25 beds at the hospital, located on the shores of Ice Lake in Iron River. One of NorthStars newest services, under the direction of Dr. Rodney Swan, is the Marinesco, Mich., office and Dr. Steve Cline in Iron River is in charge of the orthopedic program. The recent addition of a
new C-arm image intensifier aids both doctors in orthopedic surgical procedures. Literature on the new services will be available at the Picnic in the Park chickenand-rib barbecue Aug. 9, along with literature on NorthStars expanding services in digital mammography. This is of particular interest to women, said Peg James, NorthStars foundation director. While currently providing services in this area, our doctors are focused on expanding to include all the latest medical equipment for digital mammography. Because of scheduling and unexpected emergencies, we will not know the names of our staff members who will be in Phelps Aug. 8, but I can assure you, we will have ample personnel to perform the free services for those who attend Picnic in the Park, said Demske. Also, barring an emergency, we plan to have our helicopter at Wavering Park. Tickets to the chicken-andrib fundraiser in Phelps are $15 for adults and $6 for children 10 and younger and can be purchased at all Phelps business outlets, as well as from all Phelps emergency medical technicians and firefighters. Tickets purchased at Wavering Park the day of the event will be $17 for adults and $7 for children.

Captain Tom Kastle to anchor at Demmer

As a part of its One World, Many Stories summer reading program, the Demmer Library will host maritime songwriter and storyteller Capt. Tom Kastle Tuesday, July 26, from 10 to 11 a.m. The program is sponsored by Friends of the Demmer Library. Kastle is a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain whose stories and songs highlight maritime cultures from around the globe. Adventure and mystery books have, literally, led me to the helm of tall ships, to some islands of the Pacific, under the sea, and to the steps of the pyramids of Chichn Itz and Cob, said Kastle. These are some of the songs and stories picked up along the way. Kastles travels include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and the Pacific Ocean. He has toured for more than two decades and has produced more than a dozen recordings and a soundtrack for the public broadcasting television station WTTW in Chicago, Ill.). Performers in the United States, England and the Netherlands have covered his ballad, Cold Winds. Last winter, he performed in the Candid Concert Opera production of Die Fledermaus. When ashore, Kastle resides in a 19th century log cottage on the shore of Lake Mendota, near Madison. No registration is required for the event, but seating is limited. For more information about this program, visit the library at at 6961 W. School St. in Three Lakes, on the website at demmerlibrary.org or call (715) 546-3391.

55th pig roast set Aug. 6

___________
BY DON RUCK
___________
The 55th annual Phelps Volunteer Fire Departments pig roast and picnic will be held Saturday, Aug. 6, from noon to 9 p.m. at Wavering Park in Phelps, according to fire department Chief Steve Waier. Its been a long, long time. The pig roast was started in 1956 and those of us who continue to volunteer to provide fire protection service are grateful to the pioneers who initiated our biggest annual fundraiser, said Waier. This years event is important, according to Waier, because the department is striving to get the funds to buy a new pumper tanker truck to replace the one currently in use. The 3,000-gallon tanker was purchased 30 years ago in 1981, and it clearly should be replaced with an updated vehicle, said the chief. This past spring, we completed a course in pumps, pumping and driver training and, three days after the course was completed, our volunteers were called out to battle a propane fire in a garage where a 500-pound propane tank ignited, said Waier. It would certainly have been helpful to our firefighters to have an updated pumper tanker but, even so, our experienced volunteers were able to use their skills to contain the fire with minimal damage to the structure. Waier announced that the Phelps Volunteer Fire Department recently received a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). With that grant we were

able to purchase new radios for our trucks and 20 handheld radios for our volunteers, he said. The acquisitions enabled us to comply with the new state of Wisconsin radio requirements. In total, we received $26,040 from FEMA and our department paid the balance of $4,600. We had our share of the funds because the folks in our area have been so loyal in supporting our annual pig roast. For the fifth year in a row, Tim Barron, a nine-year veteran of the volunteer fire department, will be the main chef who cooks the pigs. As usual, we will start cooking the pigs on Friday at midnight, said Barron. The process takes us about 12 to
13 hours. In all, we prepare between 700 and 800 pounds of really juicy meat. Among the firefighters assisting Barron will be Dan Kintz, Tony Campion and Mike Gill. Tickets to the annual pig roast are $12 each and can be purchased from Phelps business outlets, including Sand Lake Pub, Phelps Convenience Center, First National Bank, Northern Exposure, Great Escape, Holiday Lodge and The Village Barber. As part of the annual event, the volunteer firefighters conduct a raffle. Raffle tickets are $5 each or three for $10. This years raffle prizes include a $500 Jensen-Akins Hardware & Appliance certifi-
cate, a 32-inch Sharp Aquos television, two $500 Phelps Bucks and four $250 Phelps Bucks certificates, five $100 cash prizes and a one-week stay at Hillside Resort on Lac Vieux Desert in Phelps. We have been told by many, many people that we serve the best roast pig in the North Woods, said Waier. Its a fantastic meal, including roast beef, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans and a great spread of homemade desserts. We serve a variety of beverages and, every year, Miller Brewing Co. pitches in with a separate beer-serving station. We also have live entertainment. Come rain or shine, we have great facilities with the spacious pavilion at Wavering Park.

Ordinance Amendment #3-2011, Section 9.93, Lot Sizes in Shoreland Areas, authored by the Planning and Zoning Committee to amend Section 9.93, Lot Sizes in Shoreland Areas of the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance as follows: Additions noted by underline; Deletions noted by strikethrough. 9.93 LOT SIZES IN SHORELAND AREAS; WATERWAY CLASSIFICATION (Amend. #08-2000, 79-2003, 07-2004, 19-2006, 12-2009) A. Rationale A variety of studies have indicated that the impacts of development can diminish water quality, natural fish reproduction, wildlife habitat, fish and aquatic life populations, and natural beauty - the very things that people seek out when they choose to visit or live on Oneida County lakes, rivers, and streams. While all waterways can be impacted from use and development, the vulnerability to those impacts will vary from our waterways depending on its unique characteristics including size. B. Identification Oneida County waterways are identified in the DNR publication "Surface Water Resources of Oneida County" or identified in the DNR publication "Register of Waterbodies." 1. Waterway Class I refers to lakes and flowages 50 acres in size or less. 2. Waterway Class II refers to lakes and flowages greater than 50 acres and to all rivers and streams. C.A. Applicability All lots created on waterways in this section intended for single or multiple family developments must comply with the waterway classification standards contained in this section and Appendix B. Specifically this section supersedes minimum requirements found in Appendix A, unless stated otherwise in this section. Waterway classification requirements apply to riparian lands. D.B. Minimum Lot Area 1. Each lot shall have the minimum lot area as listed in the tables in Appendix B. 2. Minimum lot area shall be measured from the OHWM landward. 3. Any portion of a lot having a width of less than 30' shall not be considered in determining the minimum lot area. 4. Except for utility easements, any other easement or combination of adjacent easements which are greater than 20' in width shall not be used in determining the minimum lot area unless approved by the Department. 5. Except for utility easements, that portion of a lot that exceeds the minimum area requirements of Wis. Admin. Code COMM 83 shall not be divided by easements unless approved by the Department. 6. 5. For lots on Class I Waterways navigable waters, except for public and private parks, 10,000 contiguous square feet of the minimum lot area shall: a. Not contain any shoreland-wetlands. b. Is above the elevation of the regional flood as defined in Wis. Admin. Code NR 116. c.

Each lot shall have the minimum riparian frontage width (RFW) as listed in the tables in Appendix B. 2. The minimum required riparian frontage width shall be measured the lesser of a straight line connecting points where the side lot lines intersect the OHWM or as the length of a chord which is perpendicular to a side lot where it intersects the OHWM and terminates at the opposite side lot line. F.D. Minimum Lot Width 1. Each lot shall have a minimum average lot width (ALW) as listed in Table A of Appendix B. 2. The minimum average lot width shall apply to the area covered by the minimum lot area and shall be calculated using the protocol described in the applicable Wisconsin Administrative Code provisions. G. Lot Size Modification On waterways in Table A of Appendix B, a landowner may elect to create one lot which meets or exceeds the minimum requirements of the applicable Wisconsin Administrative Code provisions provided that the remaining lot(s) created or to be created in the future meet the minimum requirements in Table A of Appendix B. Once exercised, the landowner or their successor in title would not be able to use this option again and must record a zoning affidavit acknowledging the same. Lots created under this section must be designed to comply with the building limitations in section 9.94(B) or section 9.99. This provision does not apply to section 9.21 C District 1-C Forestry.

Plum Lake to replace pier

The Plum Lake Town Board heard an update on the public pier at the Plum Lake boat landing from the committee formed to investigate repairing or replacing the pier. Committee members said that the town passed a resolution about two years ago to replace the pier when funds were available. The pier is in such poor condition that replacement is viewed as the better option. I think we all agree that the pier has gone well beyond what its life span should be at this point, said Kerry Thomas, one of the committee members. However, Mary MarshSchilling, another member of the committee, was concerned about following the exact specifications of the permit from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which said that the DNR has received the towns application to place an (existing) pier on the bed of Plum Lake. If the town did decide to replace the pier, the estimated
cost is about $40,000. Thomas said the town will apply for a grant from the state that will cover up to 50% of the cost. Supervisor Will Maines also stated that the Lions Club may be willing to pay for part of the project. It is going to be discussed at the next meeting of the Lions Club. Ultimately, it was decided that the town needs to have the DNR official who is involved in this to come to a town board meeting, or a special meeting, to get better specifics on what is allowed in the permit issued to the town. The town board passed a motion to begin the process of procuring a permit and getting bids for a construction project and installing a culvert on Star Lake Road. It was stated that the culvert must be installed before the road construction can take place. The entire project is anticipated to be about $50,000. It was also noted that the prevailing wage law will not affect the town on this particular project. The town board hopes to approve a contractor at the next town board meeting. In a related road topic, the board heard from a citizen regarding the poor condition of
certain roads, particularly Star Lake Road. The town chairman said he will have the town crew out to grade the road after it rains. The board got an update from Chris Wise concerning aquatic invasive species (AIS). Wise said the AIS committee, as well as volunteers, are trying to do all they can to locate invasive species before they spread. It was noted there is a project in progress on Crystal Lake to eradicate smelt. In other business, the town board: approved installing a wall or partition in Fire Station No. 2 in Star Lake for the purpose of saving on heating costs for certain pieces of equipment. The exact location of this partition, with approval from the county, is still to be determined; approved keeping the towns FCC license, although the town is now using the fire departments frequency. designated Town Clerk Sharon Brooker to be in charge of animal control in the town; and approved a road name change from Sylvan Drive to Plum Point Road at the request of a citizen. _____________ Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.

Vojta suggested that the golf course isolate the greens that are damaged and allow no traffic on them until they are fully recovered. Town Treasurer Marion Janssen said golf course revenue is down about $54,000 from the previous year. Janssen suggested that the golf course come up with a revised budget based upon what the 2011 season has already shown. We do have a financial challenge, Christensen agreed. He also said that the golf course has done all they can cutting expenses, but now they need to figure out how much financing needs to be done for the future. The golf course owes more than $600,000, with only $20,000 in the account. It is becoming increasingly difficult just to meet monthly expenses with payroll expenses increasing every year and business being down. Janssen was instructed to look into whether the bond issue can be refinanced and what portion of the debt has already been paid. Town Chairman Walt Camp said that he has been monitoring the golf course and looking into further ways to cut expenses and increase revenue. He said there is the possibility of attracting different organizations and tournaments to use the course to increase revenues. Committee reports Fire Chief Tim Clark reported that the fire department had 41 calls last month. The new fire engine is still in need of one minor repair. Also, on Independence Day, the fire department collected about $35 which was donated toward the cost of the towns fireworks display. Mark Hiller, chairman of the Bike and Hike Trail Committee, reported that the committee is almost finished with the Phase II section of the trail, except for more signage that warns trail users of potentially confusing or dangerous intersections, hills and curves. He said the final walkthrough and punch list for the trail will be later in July. Also, a donation from the St. Germain 5K Fun Run will be put

The St. Germain Town Board looked at revising the budget for the St. Germain Golf Course at its meeting last week in an effort to improve course finances for the remainder of the year. Pretty soon the money is going to run out and you need to have a plan in place, said Supervisor John Vojta. The golf course has been struggling to make its loan payments and to meet all its expenses this season not helped by the fact that play has been down and a number of greens were damaged by weather. An effort has been made to help the damaged greens recover. Mother Nature is a slow process, said golf course chairman and town board Supervisor Lee Christensen.
toward the trail. Supervisor Bill Bates reported for the Lakes Committee that the aquatic invasive species sign was erected in front of the community center. Supervisor Fred Radtke reported that the Personnel Committee has worked on a grievance procedure for town employees. Camp directed the town to wait on mowing town property, as someone has volunteered to mow the soccer fields and other places. A committee has surveyed St. Germains roads to determine which roads need repairs. A fiveyear plan for maintenance and reconstruction is being developed. The town is going to apply for a grant from the Department
of Transportation. It was noted that the transfer station is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays and from 8 a.m. to noon Sundays. It was noted citizens can put smaller trash bags in a larger bag and only be charged for one bag, as long as the larger bag weighs 30 pounds or less. Other business In other business, the board: approved purchasing three hand driers for the St. Germain pavilion rest rooms; two will be installed in the womens bathroom and one in the mens rest room.
