9/11 terrorist attacks remembered 10 years later

Like the rest of the nation, residents across the North Woods remembered those who lost their lives Sept. 11, 2001 when 19 terrorists hijacked four airlines and carried out the most deadly terrorist attack in U.S. history. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the attacks 10 years ago, including more than 400 police officers and firefighters, and 246 passengers and crew on the four planes. During a Sept. 11 ceremony in Eagle River last Friday morning, former Eagle River Police Chief Sig Hjemvick said most people wont remember the events of a typical day such as Sept. 9, 2001. But Sept. 11 we all remember, said Hjemvick. My day started that day with a phone call from (Eagle River police) officer Mike Olkowski saying, Are you watching television? And I think we all know what happened from that point on. At about 8:46 a.m. Sept.

11, 2001, the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center North Tower in New York City. About 17 minutes later, at 9:03 a.m., the second plane crashed into the South Tower. At 9:37 a.m., a plane crashed into the Pentagon. And at 10:03 a.m., 40 people tried to gain control of a hijacked plane that crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pa. Our world changed, said Hjemvick. Something happened to our world that we will always remember. What happened on Sept. 11 is fresh in all our minds. We will always remember everything that took place that day. Hjemvick said hes probably had a few thousand phone conversations with officer Olkowski. I cant remember any of those, but I do remember that phone conversation (of Sept. 11, 2001), and always will, said Hjemvick. We didnt know what Americas future was going to be. Was To 9/11, Pg. 2A

Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital stands as a testament to the potential of quality health care in a rural setting with the help of community supporters and strong partners. The hospital will celebrate its 50th anniversary next Tuesday, Sept. 20, giving community members and employees an opportunity to look back at the proud history of the medical facility that started in 1961, had expansion projects in 1969, 1977 and 1983, and completed a new facility in 2001. The celebration will be from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the front lobby of the hospital. The public is welcome to attend. A wall of history will be unveiled to honor and recognize those who have contributed to the hospital the past five decades. It was the spirit of a community, affiliations with other

health-care systems and a federal designation for select hospitals to increase revenues that helped improve the stability of Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital during those 50 years. Our hospital was founded by generous members of the community. Their spirit led to the creation of what we know today as Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital, said Sheila Clough, president of Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital and Howard Young Medical Center. We face many challenges as we look ahead to the future, but I am confident that the team of leaders and caregivers we have in Eagle River will see these changes as opportunities, said Clough.

9/11: Hjemvick says United States still a target

FROM PAGE 1A
it going to be a battleground? he asked. But Hjemvick said there was some good that came out of tragedy. Whatever our political belief was, or religious belief, or any other beliefs, we all became solid Americans and we all pulled together, he said. Were very resilient and historys proved that. Hjemvick, who also was a volunteer firefighter for 22 years and is a U.S. Army veteran, said the whole country came together. Firefighters, police officers and emergency medical personnel packed up and went to New York to clear the rubble, identify the bodies and get life back to normal, he said. But Hjemvick noted that everyones life changed that day. Our government changed and tried to figure out how we were going to provide security to our people and how we are going to have freedom and liberty, he said. Its taken a period of years, but I think we have to remember that and I think we have to remember history sometimes. The world is still going to have problems. If you look back to Sept. 11 and if you look back to your life before that, there are a number of things that happened. Hjemvick said he attended an academy in 1993, when the director of the CIA at the time, Robert Gates, was the speaker. Gates was Secretary of Defense until just recently. His comment in 1993 was, The Cold War is over, theres going to be Third World countries and theres going to be radical groups that are going to attack us, said Hjemvick. After Sept. 11, those words hit home. I will always remember them. He said the United States cant let its guard down. Its still going on today. We still have people who want to attack us, destroy us, said Hjemvick. We need to support our military personnel. We have to remind our politicians that they have to support our military. They have to support our law enforcement. They have to support our firefighters. They have to support our emergency medical personnel. There is a cost. But we need to make that aware to our politicians. Hjemvick noted military personnel caught up with Osama bin Laden, the Saudi fugitive who reportedly led the al-Qaida terrorist organization in the attacks. But unfortunately, hes not the end of all evil or the terrorists, said Hjemvick. Were still targets. Whether it be alQaida. Whether it be some deranged person or some type of terrorists, we have to protect against this. I apologize for being emotional, but its close to my heart. The program on the front lawn of the Vilas County Courthouse started with the Pledge of Allegiance, the singing of The Star-Spangled Banner by the Northland Pines High School choir and a prayer led by the Rev. Jim Fosdick. Scott Jensen, Vilas County veterans service officer, introduced guests of honor from the Eagle River Area Fire Department, St. Germain Fire Department, local ambulance services, the Vilas County Sheriffs Department, the Eagle River Police Department and emergency government. The Color Guard and a gun salute were provided by members of Eagle River Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8637. Thomas McKale of the Greater Milwaukee Fire & Police Pipes and Drums played two bagpipe solos. Marilyn Will sang God Bless America and guests concluded the ceremony by gathering around the flagpole and singing America the Beautiful.

50 years:
Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital survive for 50 years. Like other rural hospitals in the early to mid-1980s, the 41-bed Eagle River Memorial Hospital struggled financially. That was until late in 1986, when a merger was approved affiliating Eagle River with the Howard Young Health Care System in Woodruff. Today, Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital is part of Ministry Howard Young Health Care and joined the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother in 2001. Another big step occurred in 2000, when Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital became the first critical-access hospital in Wisconsin. The federally designated priority status resulted in cost-based reimbursement for services provided to Medicare patients. As a result of the cost-based reimbursement, the hospital could generate a positive bottom line that helped secure the financial viability of the hospital, especially when more than 80% of the hospitals customers are Medicare patients.

FROM PAGE 1A

The stronger financial status of the hospital enabled Eagle River Memorial Hospital to enhance services and patient care, leading to the construction of a new 25-bed facility in 2001. We have always focused our efforts on providing the exceptional care that people need, when they need it, where they need it, said Clough. She said the greater Eagle River community has always supported the hospital, including a Tradition of Caring campaign in 1994 that raised $466,000 for new state-of-theart medical equipment. Our hospital was founded by generous members of the community who had a vision for the future some 50 years ago, said Clough. We look forward to sharing this celebration with the communities we serve. The anniversary celebration theme includes educating the public on existing services, the value the hospital brings to the community, as well as the need for ongoing community support.

Gaffney, Hansens and Rieckman lead library campaign as honorees

___________

BY BERNARD HUPPERTS
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW

___________

Tom Gaffney, recently named the honorary chairman to lead the Library Foundation Campaign for a new library in Eagle River, has a strong belief in the importance of a community library. Gaffney, now retired from Gaffney-Busha Funeral Home, has contributed to the community throughout his life and sees the new library as another vital project. Our library is especially important in recession times like these, when more and more people come to use the technological facilities there, he said. Gaffney also says that the library is central to childrens education, as they expand the skills they are learning in schools. We have four really dedicated professionals working in the library, and many dedicated volunteers as well, he said. This pool of knowledgeable people will be the key to a new library. Phil Jensen and Christine Caz, general co-chairs of the building campaign, commented that they feel fortunate to have been able to call upon Gaffney as honorary chairman, because he has such a broad knowledge of the Eagle River area. Jensen and Caz said they are equally excited about the addition of Dick and Mary Ann Hansen, and Peg Rieckman as honorary council. The Hansens and Rieckman have been leading figures in many of Eagle Rivers functions and commu-

nity projects. The Hansens have held a variety of positions in the community since 1969, when they moved to Eagle River. Dick was a banker and Mary Ann was one of the founders of Humpty Dumpty preschool. You start a childrens story program and Ill help, Mary Ann told preschool co-founder Donna Schwartz in 1971. At that time, they started to use the library for a focal point. That library was in the City Hall and the need for a larger facility was being discussed. During those first preschool years, there were not as many working mothers. The need for a central library is even more important now, commented Mary Ann Hansen. After the Walter Olson Memorial Library was built, Dick Hansen served many years as president of the library board. During those years, one of his major goals was to give all children access to up-todate library facilities, and to make the library a center for all those who want to expand their working and social skills. The library is a center for leveling. It provides everyone with an opportunity for growth, should they wish it, said Dick Hansen. The Hansens said they are amazed by the amount of volunteer help at the library and commented on the savings this has been, and will be, for the community as it moves into a new library design. Obviously, the library we have does not provide enough space for exhibits, which are another aspect of a vibrant cultural center,

said Mary Ann Hansen, nor is there space enough for a young adult section, or adequate space for the technology a community our size requires. Dick Hansen said a $3.26 million new library, including all the costs of getting it up and running, is possible, especially with a five-year pledge drive. Were flattered to have been asked to help, as part of what we think of as the old guard. We have to consider what an up-to-date and forward-looking library will mean to younger generations, he said. The concern for younger generations is also something of importance to Rieckman. Her late husband, Roger, served for many years as library foundation president, and was the driving force behind looking for an architect as well as planning for an eventual new building. Roger Rieckman spoke of how a library is a central force in the community, a facility existing for all and intending to serve all. His wife noted that he often said, This busy library needs to be expanded. Surveys of the current facility and needs in the community were conducted during his leadership years. Initial contacts were made with architects and eventually Durrant Group was hired to produce a schematic design. Among the goals were that the library should meet the multiple needs of all age groups and that the new building would not require additional staff or operation, goals that Peg Rieckman remembers her husband discussing. She also recalls that

Roger spent hours phrasing the questions that needed to be asked before decisions could be made about a new library. Peg related that while Roger was a leader of the foundation, he was instrumental in bringing the library trustees and the foundation together to explore plans and funding for a new library. Peg Rieckman said she was surprised when Caz and Jensen asked her to become a member of the Honorary Council of the Library Foundation Campaign, since she is now living in Reedsburg. However, I agreed because both Roger and I felt the library is an important and busy hub in Eagle River. It serves the broadest section of the community, she said. There is an energy there. All you have to do is visit the library to see how very busy and overcrowded it is, and the staff are still doing their best to make things work, said Peg Rieckman. Rieckman said she is impressed with the efficient design of the proposed new library. She is particularly pleased with the addition of the young adult department, with greater computer-use space, and with the meeting room. Isnt it great, she added, that the present library will still be able to function for the community during the construction of the new library just to the north. Caz and Jensen said they consider the Library Foundation Campaign to be off to a good start with four community-minded leaders in the honorary positions.

A potential land trade with a private landowner that would benefit the county snowmobile program was questioned by the Department Natural Resources (DNR) liaison to the Vilas County Forestry & Land Committee last week, though the trade did get preliminary approval. The proposed trade would result in the county obtaining title to about 20 acres whose previous owner refused to give snowmobile trail access. In return, 40 acres of county land enrolled in the county forest program would be withdrawn from the program for the trade and given to the private party. The 20 acres the county would get would be added to the county forest. That difference in acreage would probably not be approved by the DNR in Madison, according to Northern Region regional forester Tim Friedrich. You may have a tough time with the DNR even though there is a benefit for recreation. It would be more favorable if the county purchased acreage (to make up the difference), Friedrich told the committee. Even though I personally think its a benefit to recreation, Madison would look more favorably if there is no reduction in county forest acreage. The reduction in acreage is a major stumbling block to gain DNR approval. County Supervisor Sig Hjemvick said the DNR was being unreasonable in its position. This property is critical to us, Hjemvick said to Friedrich. Tourism from snowmobiling has created an economy we didnt have before and it makes better sense to acquire these corridors; its in our best interest. Friedrich was questioned why the DNR didnt object when county forestland was used for a cell tower at the former town of Cloverland dump. Cell towers have an approved public benefit, he responded. Committee Chairman Steve Favorite pounced on that policy, stating, And snowmobile trails dont? A motion was made to approve the land trade, however, the discussion then focused on other possible options. We could take tax-delinquent land the county has acquired and put it in forestry, committee member Bob Egan suggested. We have 80 acres south of the Land O Lakes airport that is used by the community for their dogsled people. Assistant County Forest Administrator John Gagnon agreed the county has done that before, but said since the 80 acres is outside the county forest, we would have to

amend our boundary. The committee directed forestry staff to look at other lands to meet the states requirement of equal or more acres. Gagnon reported another private party wanted to sell his 40 acres and wanted to know if the county had any interest since there is county land on three sides. We need to find out what he wants and what the assessment is, said Hjemvick. The county has a segregated forestry account capped at $200,000 to purchase lands to block in the forest. These are monies the county receives from timber sales. Excess funds are deposited into the county general fund at the end of the year. Favorite suggested the county also look at a land trade for tax-delinquent parcels outside the county forest, such as the Mill Creek lots. In other business, the committee: discussed with Eric Chapman and Wayne Wolff a possible joint tribal-county park off Highway 47 overlooking Strawberry Island in Lac du Flambeau; requested Dale Ayers, representing the Vilas County Fair Board, prioritize improvement projects at the fairgrounds; discussed with Pat Weber and Dave Chamberlain the final Oldenburg Sports Park work that needs to be done; heard a report from Chris Brunner of the U.S. Forest Service on more roads being closed to the public via street-legal vehicles; heard a report from county snowmobile program coordinator Dale Mayo that the new Wisconsin River bridge alongside Highway K in Conover is completed; received another Department of Transportation stumpage payment of $839 for jack pine harvest along Highway 45, bringing the total, so far, to $6,379 to address safety issues with snowmobile trails; and received $25,240 for Augusts timber sales, bringing the years total to $238,650.

Man gets bail-jumping charge for allegedly texting minor female

A 22-year-old Eagle River man, charged with four felony counts of sexual assault of a child under age 16, was back in Vilas County Circuit Court last week on a felony bailjumping charge. Joshua D. Leach made his initial appearance on the new charge last Wednesday, when Vilas Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III set bond at $25,000 cash. Leach allegedly failed to comply with the terms of his previous bond, which included having no contact with a minor female. According to the complaint, Leach sent text messages to a female July 18 when she was 17 years old. She turned 18 Aug. 8. Conditions of his latest bond include not to possess a computer or cell phone, no intoxicants and no contact with any females younger than 18 years of age. Leachs attorney, Henry R. Schultz, made a motion to dismiss the case because the complaint failed to establish that the defendant intentionally failed to comply with the terms of his bond. Judge Nielsen denied the motion. Nielsen also ruled that Leach could travel to Milwaukee for an evaluation Sept. 8, as long as he travelled with his parents. He also said if Leach remains out on on bond, he must be on global positioning system monitoring. Leach is facing four felony counts of sexual assault of a child under age 16. He also is charged with intimidation of a victim, and two counts of exposing his body parts. The alleged incidents with the minor females occurred in the city of Eagle River in October 2010, December 2010 and January 2011 in Vilas County, December 2010 in Conover, and December 2010 in Vilas County. In another felony case, Timothy J. Trimble, 62, of Arbor Vitae, who allegedly attempted to strangle a 50-year-old woman Aug. 28, made an initial appearance in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. Trimble is charged with strangulation and suffocation, domestic abuse, repeater; misdemeanor battery, domestic abuse, repeater; and disorderly conduct, domestic abuse, repeater. A preliminary hearing was set for Sept. 28 at 1 p.m. While his bond was originally set at $2,500 during a court appearance Aug. 29, it was modified to $500 at his initial appearance last Thursday. Conditions of Trimbles bond include no contact with the victim, and he is not to possess or consume intoxicants. According to the complaint, Trimble drank about 20 beers between 2:30 and 10:30 p.m. at his home at 1548 Marsh Lane in Arbor Vitae. He allegedy hid medications the victim needed to take and put his arm around her neck in a choke-hold position. The victim told investigators she had a difficult time breathing. The complaint said Trimble is on probation for three prior misdemeanor convictions in Vilas County, two in 2010 and one in 2007. One of the conditions of the probation is not to consume intoxicants. Officers recorded his breath alcohol concentration at .29% when he was arrested.

Flooding causes run-off issues along Three Eagle Bike Trail

___________

BY ANTHONY DREW
NEWS-REVIEW ASST. EDITOR

___________

The Three Lakes Town Board heard about storm sewer containment issues along the Three Eagle Bike Trail at its meeting last Tuesday. Three Eagle Trail President Tom Rulseh gave a presentation that addressed trail flooding near the storm sewer outlet north of town during storms. With the recent addition of East School Street to the storm sewer system, the already overburdened area just north of Three Lakes Auto, between Highway 45 and Three Eagle Trail, is expected to see more flooding, said Rulseh. When we get a lot of rain in a short period of time, the drains cant keep up and the water washes over the trail, taking the limestone with it, he said. Its cost between $700 and $800 each time we repair it, and weve had to do three repairs so far. The problem, he said, is that the 12- and 18-inch pipes taking water from the first field arent keeping up with the 42-inch pipe that brings the vast majority of the Three Lakes storm water. Now, because of the additional acreage thats contributing to this, we anticipate that its probably going to be more of a problem in the future, said Rulseh. Three Eagle Trail Foundation representatives recently met on-site to consider potential solutions, which they

decided should be presented to the town board. We thought that since this is town water coming through here and flooding a town facility, we should really get the town board involved, said Rulseh. The foundation recommended that the town crew clean and dig out the area servicing the two smaller pipes to ease water flowage toward the northernmost 12-inch pipe while preserving the natural beauty of the site. If this alone doesnt improve matters, Rulseh suggested adding a second 12inch pipe to help carry water under a driveway to the north containment field. Three Lakes Town Chairman Don Sidlowski suggested that the board authorize the town crew to clean out the area once the proper permits are obtained from the Department of Transportation. The board also authorized the town clerk and town chairman to execute a change order in the East School Street reconstruction project after hearing an update from Jim Bollmann of MSA Professional Services. The first item of the change order was to include the schools storm sewer project on the towns contract. The town will be paid back by the school in the amount of $14,240 for the project. The second item included additional charges of $10,646 to pave both of the intersections on West School Street after the sanitary district had to tear them up to get to sewer manholes.

At the time of the meeting, Bollmann said the project would probably be completed by the end of the week. The only punch list item that I have thats of any significance on the entire project is the rock wall at Black Forest Pub & Grill, said Bollmann. There are 15 feet or so that have settled about an inch as a result of compaction. That wall was in rough shape and looks like its been patched about a dozen times. Bollmann said the next step is to come to a compromise with the contractor in an effort to fix the wall. Sidlowski said the project looked good overall and asked town shop foreman Tim Rutzen to finish marking crosswalks now that the school season is under way. Ive heard happy comments from bus drivers, which is a good thing, said Sidlowski. I walk the length of the project regularly and I think its a super job. In other action, the board: heard an update from Bollmann citing that 91% of the Townline Lake boat landing project has been funded; approved a pursuance to vacate a 16-foot strip of land pending the requesters ability to pay for the vacation and complete the legal work involved; announced a Wisconsin Valley Improvement Co. presentation Tuesday, Sept. 20, from 6 to 6:30 p.m.; formally approved the establishment of the new Three Lakes ward boundaries as updated from the 2010 census and county redistricting.

Saturday, Sept. 17, will be a full day of vintage racing, swapping, sled showing and storytelling. Racing starts Saturday at 9 a.m. with the grass drags run by the Northern Vintage Snowmobile Race Series Inc. An awards party for racing and show classes will follow the Saturday program in the Derby Expo Hall for all racing and display trophies. If you like snowmobiling, or if you enjoy seeing machines from another era, the reunion is the place to come for a unique show, said Decker. The Last Lap Saloon will serve a variety of food and beverages, while airing

As fall settles in and we set back the clock, rake the leaves and turn on the furnace, its a good time to start thinking about ways to prepare your home for winter. Insulating and air sealing are two cost effective ways to improve energy efficiency, lower your utility bill and help you stay warm and comfortable. Reducing air leaks alone could cut 10 percent from the average households energy bill.

footage from the golden era of snowmobiling. Free camping will be available on the Derby grounds. Hall of famers The International Snowmobile Hall of Fame (ISHOF), which moved from Minnesota to Eagle River in 2009, will induct four new members Saturday at the World Championship Snowmobile Headquarters. The inductees include Gordon Radtke of Wausau, Wayne Davis of Minneapolis, Minn., Bill Manson of Rockford, Mich., and Les Pinz of Isle, Minn. Radtke, an avid snowmobiler, was hired at Bombardier Ski-Doo in the service department 30 years ago. He has been instrumental in the education and dissemination of Ski-Doo technology. Radtke is the go-to person when a service problem or question arises, and he is willing to help all snowmobilers who call on his wealth of knowledge about the sleds. Davis was a sled racer for eight years, but his career ended with a crash in 1981 that broke both of his arms. When not racing, Davis had always taken pictures of the races and racers. His camera skills were noticed by Yamaha, who hired him to shoot for them. Soon Davis was shooting for all four brands, several magazines and other sports activities, including the World Championship Snowmobile

Derby in Eagle River. In 1982, he gave up his job as a robotics engineer and programmer to pursue his passion of photography. Manson was instrumental in forming the Michigan Snowmobile Association (MSA) in 1982 that merged three groups into one. He has worked his way up through all phases and positions of MSA and is now its executive director. Manson has been instrumental in creating milestones for the snowmobiling community and now chairs several committees and organizations. He was named International Snowmobiler of the Year in 1990 and in 1995 was selected as the Michigan Snowmobiler of the Year. Pinz got his start in the sport of snowmobiling 46 years ago on a Polaris Lil Andy. Soon after, his family started a snowmobile dealership, selling Polaris and Scorpion. Pinz takes pride in helping others with his knowledge of most snowmobile brands. He spends many hours teaching the history of snowmobiling. The 2011 inductees will be on hand most of the weekend to meet and talk snowmobiling at many planned activities and the banquet Saturday night.

BRIDGE REMOVAL Renting a crane for the project, the town of Cloverland hired workers at a cost of $78,000 to remove the Otter Rapids bridge near the dam on Cloverland Drive after the Department of Transportation condemned it. The project was funded entirely by the town of Cloverland, which opted to remove the nearly 100-year-old bridge rather than replace it at a greater cost. Workers tied sections of the bridge to the crane (left) before welders disjointed them, allowing the crane to lift the released section onto a pile of scrap metal (above). --Staff Photos By ANTHONY DREW

Vilas selects new food vendor for jail; county to save 14 cents per inmate meal
___________

BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

A new food service vendor to provide meals in the Vilas County Jail was recommended by the Vilas County Law Enforcement Committee when it reviewed bids last week. Three bids were received to provide inmate meals, according to jail administrator Tim Evenson, who requested bids per meal based on the inmate population. We average, most times, from 81 to 110 (inmates) per day, Evenson said. Of the three bids, Aramark, out of Downers Grove, Ill., gave us a price of $1.738 per meal. Thats lower than our current vendor price of $1.88. CBM, the current food service vendor, receives $1.88 per meal. Their bid was $2.05 while CCF, a vendor out of Iowa, bid $1.83 per meal for an inmate population from 81 to 110. I talked with all three, Evenson told the committee. CCF wanted inmate help with meals, up to two per day for 16 hours, but its not feasible for us to do that. We do provide inmates for washing dishes since its in a secure setting. The contract is for one year and would increase by 4% if renewed for a second year. The committee approved the low bid of Aramark. Evenson also presented a

change in inmate charges that can be made according to state statutes. The daily perperson rate is proposed to be $25 for the first day or any part of a day and $17 per day thereafter. The current perday rate is $5. Huber prisoners who leave for work and must return to the jail will have to pay a onetime processing fee of $25 and $17 per day thereafter. Those subject to drug screening during incarceration will be charged $20 for a positive result, an increase of $5. Those who may be placed on electronic monitoring will be charged $20 per day, up $5, and have to pay a one-time processing fee of $40, an increase of $15. The committee approved presenting the increases to the county board for adoption. A request to purchase four new vehicles costing a total of $119,932 will be sent to the county board for approval. One Dodge Charger will cost $25,589, one Chevy Suburban that will be assigned to drug investigation and used for the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team will cost $34,603, and two Chevy Tahoes will cost $29,870 each. All will be purchased under the state contract. Last year, we purchased seven vehicles and decided to extend the useful life to 130,000 miles, said Sheriff Frank Tomlanovich. Adminis-

tration vehicles are kept to 150,000 miles. The patrol vehicles, after 110,000, start to fall apart. The used vehicles are sold locally through a used car dealership. Funds from the sale go into the county general fund. Emergency management director Jim Galloway also requested a vehicle. He indicated his current pickup truck has 160,000 miles on it and he is looking at a Ford F-150 extended-cab, four-wheel- drive pickup truck at a cost of $25,431 and, with requested add-ons, would come to $27,319. 911 system Lt. Gary Peske told the committee the five-year warranty on their present communications system that records 911 calls on 48 channels needs to be replaced. We have to record 911 calls and our present system was on a lease-purchase agreement, Peske indicated. We need voice over I.P. and we will be required to also record text messages as well as digital and analog traffic. I have to look for a system with these options. Peske said he found a system that could be leased for $11,000 a year that included maintenance and has 56 channels. The current system cost $10,800 a year under lease purchase. The five-year commitment for the new system needs county board approval

at the Sept. 20 meeting. Peske also requested a resolution for battery backup to protect the electronics in case of a power failure until the inhouse generator kicks in. Our present system was installed when the Justice Center was built in 1999 and parts are no longer available after July 1, 2012, Peske explained. We need to replace it with a newer one that is more efficient and we need a surge protector which we dont have now. It serves the whole communication center until the generator kicks in. Peske indicated the present system is run by car batteries that need to be replaced every year, while the new system would not require batteries. The cost is $23,000 and, according to Peske, the company will hire locally to install it. If approved by the county board, bids would have to be solicited. Chief Deputy Joe Fath requested $15,700 for 10 body armor vests for the SWAT team and $7,930 for 13 concealable vests worn under deputies clothes. The concealable vests price is partially offset by $4,930 out of federal forfeitures. The body armor is vests that go over the tactical gear, Fath said. Our current body armor is 5 years old and the warranty has expired. He told the committee the Kevlar component degrades after five years.

Plan Commission opts for no limits on dogs, cats

___________

BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

FLOAT PLANES The 22nd annual Eagle River Float Plane Fly-in was held on Pioneer Lake last Friday through Sunday, with more than 20 pilots and their seaplanes participating in a variety of activities headquartered at Maple View Resort & Campground. Some of the scenes from the fly-in included: above, a game official watches from the shoreline; right, two youths climb from a seaplane following an exciting ride; and below, a plane on floats taxis prior to the takeoff. --Contributed Photos

The Eagle River Plan Commission recommended to the City Council last week to eliminate present restrictions on how many dogs and cats a homeowner may have at one time within the city limits. Presently, a homeowner is allowed to have a maximum of two dogs and three cats, but city administrator Joe Laux indicated there are a number of residents who currently have more pets. We have a rather large residential property with a large home for sale with the potential purchaser having six dogs, said Laux. Does it make sense to allow more dogs? Discussion was on not so much the number of pets allowed, but what the pets do while outside, particularly dogs. If cats are left in the house, they dont bark, said commission member Bill Doerr. The issue is when dogs are outdoors barking and to me, its the noise. Multiple dogs may not make any noise. Mayor Jeff Hyslop said the present ordinance on dogs and cats might be covered in the nuisance language in the ordinance. But what really constitutes a nuisance? he asked. The ordinance probably predates all of us, said Hyslop. It only takes one barking dog to make a nuisance. Who is going to go to that person who has three dogs and tell them they have to get rid of one? Plan Commission member Mike Duening commented on the nuisance language in the ordinance. Why have any limits since we have the nuisance issue in the ordinance? Get rid of the number restriction and enforce the nuisance part, suggested Duening. The commission adopted a recommendation to the City Council to eliminate the maximum number of pets presently allowed. Electronic signs Prohibiting electronic message signs in the downtown commercial district from River Street south on Railroad Street and east beginning at Railroad and Wall streets was discussed, but the Plan Commission delayed a recommendation to the City Council. Commonly used by businesses, the signs require a conditional-use permit (CUP) for

installation on the exterior or the roof of a building. The signs also must comply with all other sign requirements. While there was agreement that free-standing signs need to be added to the ordinance to close a loophole, the proposed prohibited areas in downtown commercial districts drew considerable debate. Under this prohibited area, the large city stationary message sign (at the corner of Railroad and Wall streets) would not be able to change to an electronic message sign, noted city administrator Laux. The restriction upset two commission members, who wanted businesses to know what they were discussing. Why didnt we notify all these businesses about this proposed restriction? asked Kim Schaffer. We granted something and now were looking at taking it away. I dont think its right to not allow the city message sign to be electronic. Schaffer added that an electronic sign would at least not have spelling mistakes. I agree, said Duening. These businesses should be notified. Laux said he had conversations with a few business owners and chamber of commerce officials about converting to an electronic sign, with a number of business owners between Railroad and Wall streets asking about it. Doerr focused on the perceived safety issues, particularly on drivers southbound coming across the bridge, being distracted by electronic signs that change the message often. Presently the message signs would require a CUP, but as Hyslop pointed out, a CUP doesnt prohibit anything; you simply attach conditions. But Doerr said it was important to act before these signs start popping up along Railroad Street, and if one business jumps the gun and then they are prohibited, they would have a monopoly. While the question was asked if the Plan Commission should schedule a public hearing on the issue, it was never answered. It was decided the issue will return to the commission when all members are present. Church parking The commission also discussed the number of off-street parking allowances for churches due to a proposed expansion of Abundant Life Church along Capich Drive and

Ranger Street. While some jurisdictions use the number of off-street parking spaces based on the number of seats, the city ordinance gives the authority to the zoning administrator to determine the number based on subjective analysis. Abundant Life Church expansion plans would add 25 parking spaces, which meets the 35% of impervious surfaces. Hyslop said city attorney Steve Garbowicz asked if the city could waive some parking requirements rather than force the church to purchase more land and take it off the tax roll. Doerr said the issue should be sent to the city Parking Committee and made a motion to do so; it died for lack of a second. He then moved to have a joint meeting between the Plan Commission and Parking Committee, which also died for lack of a second. Schaffer pointed out the Parking Committee deals with public parking issues and not off-street parking. Laux said he needed more information before making a recommendation. I dont have enough information for me to say this is satisfactory or not; off-street parking criteria is absent, he said. If they came in right now with an application, I would have no reason to deny it. Laux said Rhinelanders ordinance required one parking space for every six seats in a church and, in this case, about 30 parking spaces would be needed for the Abundant Life expansion. Talking about this specific plan is not in our jurisdiction, Doerr added. It simply raises the issue of the need for (specific) amendments to our code. Laux noted he didnt have anything to deny the expansion, saying if the chief (of police) had an issue with parking, he would have come to the church first, then to the Parking Committee. He has not, replied Rev. Gary Dixon of the church. Hyslop wanted to know if the Parking Committee wanted to get involved with offstreet parking and Laux would look at the possibility of a joint meeting. In other business, the commission adopted a recommendation to the City Council to approve a 30-foot-wide utility easement along Highway 70 West at the former Neros Supper Club. The request came from the First National Bank.

MUCH HAS changed since the drought-plagued Dust Bowl threatened waterfowl populations in 1937, but what hasnt changed the past 75 years is the commitment of Ducks Unlimited (DU) to preserving wetland habitat. Its an appropriate topic for the dog days of summer, which have continued into early September with dry, unseasonably warm weather. Its also a time of year when duck hunters and other conservationists stage fundraising banquets in some communities. DU is the worlds largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North Americas continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Whats good for ducks and geese is good for 900 species of wildlife and the environmental health of North America in general, because wetlands create wildlife habitat, filter pollutants and prevent floods. Wetlands have been called natures most productive ecosystems. But isnt DU doing good things for hunters, you might ask? Absolutely. This conservation group is committed to preserving sustainable waterfowl populations and habitat, and hunters who benefit are the driving force behind fundraising efforts. The catch is, even duck hunters know that ducks and geese are important for more reasons than just hunting. The health of duck populations is like a barometer of how a state, and a nation, are treating wetland habitat. DU has won many victories in the name of habitat protection. By the end of 2010, the organization had conserved 12.6 million acres of wetlands in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Theyve also influenced management decisions

on five times that amount. In Wisconsin, the nonprofit organization hit a milestone last year, conserving its 100,000th acre after spending more than $18.2 million the past 25 years. Add to that what the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has done to establish waterfowl production areas, and its no wonder the state has seen record mallard and wood duck production the past decade. Waterfowl breeding populations in Wisconsin are at their highest levels since estimates were first attempted in the 1950s and the start of systematic surveys in 1973. Federal officials predict that this fall, hunters will see the biggest waterfowl flight since the 1950s. For hunters, 10 years of 60day seasons, a six-duck daily bag limit and more than 100 days of Canada goose hunting in most years represents the highest combined hunting days and bag limits for Wisconsin waterfowl hunting opportunity in 60 years. While 90% of DU members are hunters, dont be fooled by the title of Americas greatest conservation group. Its really about habitat conservation, and those wetlands support about 230 species of migratory birds. Ducks are a prey species, so you can imagine the millions of predators that are supported by these healthy populations of waterfowl. Populations of raccoon, fox, coyote,

skunk and other predators are booming. Even eagles and large fish, like the muskie, benefit from strong duck numbers. DU enjoys broad-based support for a lot of reasons. Among them is that, last year, 85% of the $250 million raised went toward conservation work on the ground. The percent of funds going to actual projects is so high because most of the fundraising work is done by the 780,000 members who volunteer to serve on committees, setting up banquets and shoots. Steve Kresl of Eagle River, DUs senior regional director, said hes seen growth in area events the past year despite the lagging economy. I cannot stress enough that DUs success is based on the strength of its volunteers, said Kresl. It is because of their work that 37,000 Wisconsin residents are DU members. For that we are grateful. In this area, we have DU chapters in Eagle River, Three Lakes, Sugar Camp, St. Germain, Sayner, Land O Lakes and Boulder Junction. Some of our chapters have been around for a long time, 40 years for Eagle River and 29 years for Sayner. And they are still going strong thanks to the committees of volunteers who run them, said Kresl. Admittedly, all of the money Wisconsin DU chapters have raised for the ducks hasnt stayed here. A lot of it went to the western prairie states and Canada, which is where the continents largest and most productive wetlands exist. Its also where seven out of every 10 ducks, and most geese, come from. The organization has been funneling money into state projects

for a quarter of a century. Some projects nearest to this area include Thunder Lake Marsh, Briss Lake Impoundment, Alvin Creek Impoundment, the Hiles Mill Pond project and three others between Three Lakes and Crandon. Kresl said DU never spends a dollar unless it is matched by a county, state or federal agency, such as the Forest Service. He said quite often the money is matched three or four ways.

After decades of sticking with the same mission, DU has created a conservation legacy like no other in the world. Its called wetland habitat conservation, and anyone can be a part of it. The groups supporters come from every walk of life and they dont all hunt ducks. Volunteers and supporters will be doing it again this month, Sept. 22, when about 40 national sponsors meet for a special dinner event at Eagle Waters Resort.

Archery deer hunt starts Saturday

Bow season to remain open during gun hunt
The 2011 Wisconsin archery deer hunt that opens Saturday, Sept. 17, will be the longest bow deer hunt in state history. For the first time, bow hunting will be allowed during the regular nine-day gun deer hunt in November. As before, there will be no deer hunting on the Friday preceding the gun deer hunt. This single day will now separate the early and late bow deer seasons. The 2011 archery deer season will run from Saturday, Sept. 17, through Thursday, Nov. 17, and then from Saturday, Nov. 19, the start of the gun season, through Jan. 8, 2012, a Sunday. During the gun deer season, bow hunters will be required to follow the same blaze-orange clothing regulations as gun hunters. With warm temperatures and insect activity in midSeptember, many archers are less enthusiastic about opening day and the season begins with much less fanfare than the annual gun deer hunt. But as summer fades into fall, the number of bow hunters in the field will grow dramatically. In 1966, about 85,000 licensed archery hunters took just fewer than 6,000 deer. In 2010, the number of bow hunters had swelled to 260,000, and they harvested 87,000 deer, 36% as many deer as taken by gun hunters in the previous year. The 2010 bow buck harvest was the third highest on record. Pope and Young record book entries show Wisconsin as the leading state for largeantlered whitetails. DNR officials noted several other changes of interest to bow hunters this year. Most hunters are not allowed to hunt antlerless deer in eight regular, buckonly deer management units (DMU), primarily in northern and northeast Wisconsin, including units 35 and 39 in this area.

Fishing with the Guides

By George Langley

Fall fishing patterns could start this week

With what appears to be colder fall weather on the way this week, anglers will now get into normal fall fishing patterns. This also means turnover, as many of the lakes have already started this process. This includes some of the larger lakes in the area. We will certainly experience a very sharp drop in the water temperatures, but it is questionable whether lakes will clear up from turnover until we have colder weather for several weeks. Lake levels also are down in the last month, as it has been so dry. Hopefully, the North Woods will get some rain this fall to help. If we get another warm front behind this cold front, well have a delayed turnover and poor fishing conditions into October. Walleye fishing has picked up nicely, with that deep water pattern on the deep, clear lakes finally happening. Guides report good action now in deeper water, and minnows are definitely the bait of choice on these lakes. This is a very welcome sign for fall walleye fishing. On the Chain, walleyes have spread out, feeding in the weeds and holding in those holes. Bass action has been more difficult this week, as the smallies really slowed down on many lakes. We suspect that there have been enough hatches to keep them full (and uninterested in our offerings) during the daytime. They are still hitting on crayfish imitations, but starting the annual switch to minnows. Try some Rapalas or other minnow imitation lures also. Largemouth bass are still hitting well in the weeds, with plastics and spinnerbaits working very well. Muskie action, to be honest, has been quite slow for most anglers throughout the area during the daytime, and the feeling is that they went back to a night feed during the full moon period. If you have been out, you have noticed how bright it has been at night this last week. Larger bucktails have been working best. We expect some of the bigger fish to start moving now. Panfish action has remained good, with bluegills still hitting quite well in the weeds. We have seen a surprising pattern of schools of gills suspending out over deeper water also. Perch have been acting like walleye and hitting minnows in the deeper weeds. Crappies are still near cribs or deep weeds and hitting small minnows. It will certainly be a week of change, with the colder weather coming. This is usually a period of real transition, so hope that it does not warm up too much again. Good luck and good fishin.

antlerless deer carcass tags also are not valid in units 3, 7, 29B, 34, 44 and 45. No bonus antlerless tags will be available in these units. There are exceptions for members of the Armed Forces, for the holders of certain disabled hunter permits, and for youths ages 10 to 17. Beginning in 2011, all

youths ages 10 to 17 will automatically be issued a free antlerless deer carcass tag when they purchase a gun deer license. This tag is valid for one antlerless deer in any DMU during any open deer season with the appropriate license and corresponding weapon. The antlerless tag is issued

along with the youths gun deer license through any license agent, and may also be filled in any DMU statewide during the archery season with legal archery gear if the person also holds a valid archery license. Antlerless deer carcass tags are no longer issued to new hunter education class graduates.

Pauls Pro-Am set on Eagle Chain

The 35th annual Pauls Memorial Pro-Am Musky Classic, set on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes this Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 17-18, is still accepting entries for the anniversary event. The tournament, sponsored by the Riedel family and headquartered at Hiawatha Hide Away on Duck Lake, is one of the longest-running catch-and-release muskie fishing events in the North Woods. We are looking forward to the 35th annual Memorial Pro-Am and seeing all of the great sportsmen and -women who helped make my fathers tournament the success it has become, said tournament coordinator Paul Riedel Jr. of Eagle River. A field of 300 anglers (150 teams) will be accepted. Entry fee is $350 per team. Payouts will total $34,800 based on a full field of 150 teams. The first-place team will win $12,000, based on a full field. Second place will receive $6,000; third, $5,000; fourth, $4,000; and fifth, $3,000. There will be cash prizes through 10th place. We have a new prize offerd for the 35th anniversary, said Riedel. Any team to catch and successfully release a legal muskie, but does not finish in the top 10, will be entered in a $1,000 drawing, with two teams each winning $500. Last year, the team of Phil Amstadt of Rhinelander and Greg Kliss of Three Lakes won the tournament by registering three legal muskies. They caught 371/2- and 341/4inch fish Saturday and a 37incher Sunday to win the $6,200 first-place prize. The Pro-Am is a memorial tournament in memory of Paul Riedel Sr., who died Nov. 24, 1994, at the age of 58 while vacationing in Fort Myers, Fla. Riedel was the originator of the tournament and the former owner of Hiawatha Supper Club, now Hiawatha Hide Away. For more information on the tournament or to get an entry form, interested fishermen should contact Paul Riedel Jr. at (715) 479-2256 or (715) 617-8345 or email pwr3300@yahoo.com.

ruffed grouse hunting season gets under way. --STAFF PHOTO

Grouse season kicks off Saturday across North

The 2011 ruffed grouse season is set to open at the start of shooting hours Saturday, Sept. 17, and state wildlife officials say that hunter prospects are good for the popular upland bird. The ruffed grouse season in Zone A runs from Sept. 17 through Jan. 31, 2012. The Zone B (southeastern Wisconsin) season goes from Oct. 15 through Dec. 8. Spring drumming survey data suggest that Wisconsins ruffed grouse population increased 38% statewide between 2010 and 2011, and hunters should therefore expect a rewarding season this fall. Due to a variety of factors, wildlife experts say ruffed grouse populations cycle up and down, with peaks occurring approximately every 10 years. In northern Wisconsin, survey data suggest a current grouse population as high as any since the early 1970s. 2011 likely marks the current peak population for grouse in Wisconsin, and hunters should therefore plan to take advantage of outstanding grouse hunting opportunities this fall, a DNR wildlife official said. Grouse tend to use a variety of habitat types, but young, early successional forest types are most important when trying to find a good grouse hunting location. Grouse hunters should also note that during any gun or muzzleloader deer season, including the Oct. 8-9 youth deer hunt, antlerless hunts, and CWD hunts, blaze orange clothing is required. A hat, if worn, must be at least 50% blaze orange. In addition, grouse hunters are encouraged by the Department of Natural Resources to Be HIP!, referring to the Harvest Information Program (HIP), if they also plan to pursue woodcock, mourning doves or other migratory game birds. Upland hunters who may harvest woodcock are reminded that the season does not begin until Sept. 24, a week after grouse opens, and that they must meet the federal requirement to be registered with the HIP before hunting these and other migratory game birds. Registration is free and is available through all license vendors as well as online; hunters will only need to answer a few short questions. Though not a requirement for hunting ruffed grouse, federal rules do require that hunters use a plugged shotgun limited to holding three shells when hunting migratory game birds such as woodcock.

ATV safety course planned in Oneida

The Oneida County Sheriff's Office in conjunction with the Oneida County ATV Association will sponsor a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) certified allterrain vehicle (ATV) safety course Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8 and 9, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. both days. The course will be held at the Oneida County Law Enforcement Center, located at 2000 E. Winnebago St. in Rhinelander. Anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1988, and at least 12 years old must have ATV certification to operate on public areas. Students are now required to obtain a DNR customer identification number for any recreational safety class they attend. Contact the DNR at 1(888) 936-7463 between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily to obtain this number before the course begins. Students must be 12 years old to enroll in the course. There is no maximum age, and parents and adults are welcome to enroll and participate in this course. Advance registration is required. For more information or to register, contact Deputy Brad Fogerty at the Oneida County Sheriffs Office at (715) 361-5132.

Fall Classic set Oct. 1-2

The Headwaters Chapter of Muskies Inc. in association with the Three Lakes Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center and will host the Fall Classic of Champions muskie tournament on the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1-2. Registration will be Friday, Sept. 30, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Northernaire Resort in Three Lakes, which also will serve as tournament headquarters. According to chapter public relations director Scott Samuels, the Fall Classic offers several advantages over other muskie tournaments. Along with there being far less traffic on the lakes, registration is limited to only 75 teams, not 150 like many other events, said Samuels. Also, registration is only $100 per person for a two-person team, not the $300 to $700 you see other tournaments charging. The first-place team will take home $7,000, based on a full field. To register, anglers can print out an application at headwatersmuskies.com and mail it. For any questions, contact tournament director Jay Hollnagel at (715) 891-5627 or decoys@mwwb.net.

Fall turkey hunt starts Sept. 17

The 2011 fall wild turkey season not as popular as the spring season opens statewide this Saturday, Sept. 17, and runs through Nov. 17. Overall, Wisconsins statewide wild turkey population remains strong and wildlife officials have maintained the number of fall turkey permits at 95,700, the same number that was offered during last years fall turkey season. There were 600 permits issued in Zone 7 in this area for the fall hunt. In 2010, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) also issued 600 permits, with 71 birds registered for an 11.8% success rate. After 30 years of sustained population growth and expansion across the state, turkeys are now found statewide, and local populations will likely nudge upward or downward from year to year as weather determines annual levels of survival and reproduction, said Scott Walter, DNR upland game ecologist. Walter said the spring 2011 Wisconsin turkey harvest was down 16%, reflecting a series of relatively hard winters, wet springs and snow, wind and rain early in the 2011 spring season that limited hunter access to birds. Harvest during the fall season does not play a significant role in turkey population dynamics, and hunters venturing into the fall woods should expect a hunt similar to that of 2010, he said. As during the 2010 fall season, hunters may use dogs statewide to hunt wild turkey this fall. Registration changes Starting with the fall 2011 turkey season, hunters must register their turkey by telephone or online. No in-person registration stations will be available. All harvested turkeys must be registered by telephone by

Exterior goose hunt opens Sept. 16

Youth waterfowl hunt set Sept. 17-18
Wisconsins regular Canada goose hunting season in the Exterior and Horicon zones opens this Friday, Sept. 16. The weekend also includes the two-day youth waterfowl hunt Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 17 and 18. The regular Canada goose season targets migratory geese that move through Wisconsin. An early Canada goose season that targets locally breeding giant Canada geese closes Sept. 15. This is the final year of a five-year trial period in which the Exterior Canada goose zone will have a stable season length of 85 days and a twobird daily bag limit. Hunters should also note that the former Collins Zone has been eliminated as a result of shifts in Canada goose migration and hunting pressure and is now part of the Exterior Zone. Exterior seasons The northern zone season runs from Sept. 16-23 and Sept. 24 at 9 a.m. through Dec. 9. The southern zone season runs Sept. 16-30 and Oct. 1 through 9 a.m. Oct. 9 and Oct. 15 through Dec. 14. In the Mississippi River Subzone it will be Sept. 24 at 9 a.m. to Oct. 2 and Oct. 15Dec. 29. The goose season is closed during the duck season split in the south zone (Oct. 10-14) and Mississippi River subzone (Oct 3- 14). Horicon seasons The Horicon Zone Canada goose season has two time periods: H1 runs from Sept. 16- Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at 9 a.m.- Oct. 30; and H2 goes from Oct. 31- Dec. 16. Hunters who applied for the Horicon Zone will receive six harvest tags. The daily bag limit is two Canada geese. Youth waterfowl hunt This years youth waterfowl hunt will be held Sept. 17-18. Regular-season bag limits and hunting hours will apply. This hunt will offer youths ages 12 to 15 (or those 10 or older hunting under the new mentored-hunting law) the opportunity to learn skills from an adult without the pressure encountered during the regular season. Participants are reminded that they need to be HIP registered (free of charge) and that for hunting geese they must possess a goose tag for the zone in which they wish to hunt. In Wisconsin, 82% of waterfowl hunters have introduced someone new to the sport and are encouraged to continue mentoring with this great opportunity to introduce a son, daughter, relative or neighbor to the tradition of waterfowl hunting, said a DNR official. Additional information on waterfowl in Wisconsin, youth hunts and mentored hunting is available on the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.

calling the DNRs Harvest Registration System at 1-(888) HUNT-WIS (486-8947) or online via the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov. The phone-in system will accept touch-tone entries only. Hunters will be asked to record a harvest registration confirmation number on their hunting permit at the end of the call or online session. Hunters will still have until 5 p.m. on the day after harvest to register their turkey. Extended season? Turkey hunters may again have additional opportunities during the fall 2011 season. During the 2009 and 2010 fall hunts, the season was extended on an experimental basis in zones 1 through 5, from the day after the traditional nineday gun deer season through Dec. 31. The proposal to make this extended season permanent

was supported by the Wisconsin Conservation Congress at 2011 spring hearings, but legislative approval is pending. Hunters should monitor DNR press releases or check the DNR website to see if the fall turkey extended season will be open again this year. If approved, the extended season will run from Nov. 28 through Dec. 31 in turkey management zones 1 through 5 only. Turkey hunters are reminded of the requirement for blaze orange on ground blinds on DNR lands during any gun deer season. Turkey hunters should also note that during any gun or muzzleloader deer season, including the Oct. 8-9 youth deer hunt, antlerless hunts, and CWD hunts, blaze orange clothing is required. A hat, if worn, must be at least 50% blaze orange, according to DNR regulations.

Punt, pass and kick slated in Eagle River

Growing up as a kid back in central Wisconsin, I can remember the excitement each fall of enterting the local punt, pass and kick competition. At the end of the day, all the kids would gather around the contest coordinators, hoping they had won one of the heavy, handsome trophies. That thrill of walking or biking home with a trophy or medal continues for youths today. The Eagle River Area Jaycees will host an NFL Punt, Pass & Kick competition Sunday, Sept. 25, at 1 p.m. at the Northland Pines High School football field. The competition, which allows youths to showcase their talents in punting, passing and kicking, with scores based on distance and accuracy, will be free of charge and open to boys and girls ages 6-15. Age classification is as of Dec. 31, 2011. The top finishers from each of 10 age groups at the local competition will advance to a Sectional competition. The winners at the Sectional will have their scores compared with other Sectional champions. The top four from the pool of Sectional champions advance to the Green Bay Packers team championship. Age-group champions at this level will be declared NFL Punt, Pass & Kick team champions. The top four finishers in the boys and girls divisions within each age bracket from the pool of all team champions will qualify for the national finals at an NFL playoff game in January. For competition information, call Jed Lechleitner at (715) 891-7633. Entry forms are available online at NFLyouthfootball.com or from 12:15 until 1 p.m. on the day of the event. Parents, be sure to sign-up your sons and daughters today, because no matter what sport they participate in, everyone has a chance at the local punt, pass and kick competition. In the past, several young athletes from this area have advanced to the next level of competition and beyond.

Weve been working hard at practice on finishing hard in the net area and we did that Thursday, said Three Lakes coach Jack Wales about the conference opener. Seven different players scored goals for the Jays, with four players netting their first high school goals. Anytime you get a conference win, its big, and to get our first win at home is even better, said Wales. This game allowed us to move people around and to see how they would play in differant positions. It also allowed us to play our younger players much more than normal which will only help us as the season progresses. Ben Wales and Ross Thorn led scoring for the Jays with two goals apiece. Wales also had an assist. Jacob Ribbe and Jordan Wales added one goal each and two assists, while scoring their first goals were Trenten Stefonek, Josh Boschke, and Brent LaDuke. Adding assists were Cory Satterfield, Fritz Campbell and Stefonek.

defenseman Josh Boschke in last Thursdays soccer game in Three Lakes.

Although he didnt score, Riley Liebchers good play at center mid position has improved the teams offense. At the Wausau Neuman Invite, the Jays lost both of their first two games 4-0, the first to Neuman and the second to Washburn-Bayfield. However, Three Lakes rebounded

with a 3-1 win over Roncolli. We just did not play well in the morning games, said coach Wales. We missed Riley Liebchers play at center mid. But after the noon break was done, we came out and were a totally differant team. Ben Wales scored twice in the Roccolli game, while Fritz

Campbell netted his first of the season. Kirk Campbell and Jordan Wales each added an assist. Thee Lakes was scheduled for a match in Phillips Monday night. The Jays will travel to Ironwood Tuesday, Sept. 20, for a 5 p.m. game against Luther L. Wright High School.

The Northland Pines Eagles football team improved to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the WestPAC conference with a 36-21 victory over Hancock, Mich., last Friday night at Hancock. It was a solid conference win for us, said Pines coach Jason Foster. We played a back-and-forth game in the first half, made some good adjustments at halftime and executed really well in the second half. Hancock took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Eagles came back with a 61yard touchdown run by Austin Ramesh to make it 7-6. The Eagles kick failed on the conversion. Ramesh gave Pines a 12-7 lead on a 56-yard touchdown run later in the quarter and Johnny Schwenn ran in the 2point conversion to make it 147. Hancock kept the game close with a second-quarter touchdown, but Ramesh responded with two secondquarter touchdowns of his own. The first came on a 16yard run and the second came on a 15-yard pass reception from quarterback Cooper Kerner. Ramesh ran in the 2point conversion on the first, but the second attempt failed, giving Pines a 28-14 halftime lead. While neither team scored in a quick third quarter, Hancock put more points on the board in the fourth quarter, closing the gap to 28-21. But the Eagles Schwenn put the game away on a 19-yard touchdown run outside the Hurricane defense and Ramesh added the 2-point conversion to give the Eagles some breathing room in the final minutes. Foster said he was happy with his teams play, especially at the line of scrimmage. We controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the

ball, which led to another great rushing game for Ramesh and completely holding Hancocks running attack in check, said Foster. Ramesh was essentially unstoppable and Schwenn had a great run for our final touchdown to seal the victory. Ramesh finished with 329 yards rushing on 29 carries. Schwenn had 29 yards on four carries and Rich Mork, who returned to the line-up, had one carry for seven yards. Our offensive line (Elbe, Kopanski, Kubacki, Ferber and Beaman) is really opening some great holes and getting downfield to finish their blocks, said Foster. Kerner had another solid night passing and we had Rich Mork back, which gives our offense another weapon. Kerner completed five of seven passes for 133 yards. Mork had three catches for 88 yards and Ramesh had two for 45 yards. Foster said his defense played well, especially in the second half. The defensive line, our backers and secondary really stepped up and played with character, said Foster. Kubacki and Elbe anchored the line, Ferber had his best game of the year and our secondary made some great plays in coverage. Defensively, Ramesh had nine solo tackles, Ferber had six solo tackles, three assists and one sack, Kubacki had seven solo tackles and eight assists, and Elbe had three solo tackles, two assists and one forced fumble. The Eagles will host Hurley in a nonconference game this Friday, Sept. 16, starting at 7 p.m. I was very proud of our complete game effort, said Foster. Hopefully, we can keep it going against a solid Hurley team this week.

The Northland Pines crosscountry team competed Saturday at the Copper Falls Invitational in Mellen. The girls team took sixth overall, trailing first-place Hayward, Lakeland, Phillips, Chequamegon and Hurley. The boys didnt have enough runners for team competition. We were missing a few runners to prior commitments and one individual was out due to illness, said Pines coach Don Czarapata Jr. Emilie Robins of Northland Pines took third overall in the race, clocking in at 15 minutes, 28 seconds. Other top

finishers for Pines included Calie Sanborn, who took 36th place in 17:33; Jordan Welnetz, who took 46th in 19:13; Sara Schaetz and Maria Wait, who both crossed the line 48th in 19:58; and Shannon Lange, who came in 49th in 20:53. Jeromy Skibinski topped the boys individual runners for the Eagles in his first race of the season, crossing the line 29th overall in 20:29. Christian Svetnicka clocked his best time of the year, finishing 44th in 22:15. Max Flanagan was 50th in 23:29 and Dakota Klessig was 62nd in 25:26. It was bittersweet to witness, said Czarapata. We had four young men who ran their best only to have the name Northland Pines not

mentioned in the team standings. I truly appreciate their commitment and that they did their very best in such a difficult situation. The coach added that practices have been going well and that times are improving as a result. We are going to continue working hard this week in preparation for our biggest race of the year up to this point, the Smiley Invite, said Czarapata. I know well bounce back with some fine performances. The 55th annual event will be hosted by Wausau East High School and will take place at the Wausau American Legion Golf Course Saturday, Sept. 17, at 8:30 a.m.

The Northland Pines volleyball team lost to Mosinee 30 in a Great Northern Conference (GNC) match last week, but bounced back to beat Park Falls in a nonconference match Thursday. The Eagles then traveled to the Ashland tournament Saturday, competing against Ashland, Washburn, and Hayward. We had a close first game with Mosinee and, though we continued to play well, their offense found a few holes in our defense, said Pines coach Margo Rogers Anderson. Its early in the season and, for our first attempt at a team that ran an effective quick offense, we played very well. Statistically, Nicole Sullivan had 10 kills and nine blocks, Abby Alft had six kills, Kelsey Bergum had three service aces and Paige Healy had four service aces. Ellie Zyhowski had 21 kill assists The Eagles responded with a 3-1 win against Park Falls, to the liking of the coach. You could see all of their hard work paying off in this match, both offensively and defensively, said Rogers Anderson. They were impressive. We have had a tendency to be tentative on defense in the past. They defended the court very well. It was fun to watch. Nicole Sullivan, Abby Alft and Carly Bohnen had great games offensively. Healy, Zyhowski and Carly Bohnen each had three service aces. Sullivan had 16 kills, Alft had 10 kills and Bohnen had eight kills Nicole Sullivan had a huge blocking game getting 12 blocks, said Rogers Anderson. Sophomore Carly Ridder-

The Three Lakes girls cross-country team took second place at an invitational meet in Phillips last Thursday. The girls competed against Prentice-Rib Lake, Phillips and Butternut. Natalie Miller of Three Lakes was the first to cross the line, with a time of 16 minutes, 18 seconds. She was nearly a full minute ahead of the secondplace finisher from Phillips. Also earning medals for the Lady Jays were Caitlin Vreeland-Griffin, who finished eighth in 18:44, and Indi Yeager, who was ninth with a

time of 18:48. Earlier in the week, we had talked about these two going under 19 minutes, said Three Lakes coach Laurie Levandoski. While their workout times indicated this was well within their reach, its often difficult for runners to abandon their conservative approach to racing. This will be our focus for all the girls in the upcoming weeks. Jena Miles finished 17th with a time of 19:45, followed by Brooke Welch who was 18th in 20:02. Sonya Westfall took 19th in 20:11 and Peyton Radaj was 21st in 21:22. The Three Lakes girls will travel to the American Legion Golf Course in Wausau Satur-

day, Sept. 17, for the 55th annual Smiley Invitational, hosted by Wausau East High School. Racing is set to begin at 9:25 a.m. Smiley is one of the largest meets of our season with 33 schools participating in the Division 2 and 3 race, said Levandoski. The Bluejays cross-country team will host its 11th annual invitational Thursday, Sept. 22, at the Sugar Camp Town Park. Racing is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. for the girls and 5 p.m. for the boys. _____________ You cant put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get. Michael Phelps

busch added three blocks. The Eagles played well in the Ashland tournament, but didnt come away with any match victories. In the tournament this weekend, we actually played very well and I thought we were as good as the rest if not better, said Rogers Anderson. But we started slow out of the gates in every match. We played ourselves back into every game and, though we didnt finish well in the event, we gained a lot of confidence. After losing three matches to Washburn, Ashland and Hayward, Northland Pines came back to face Washburn in

the semifinals, losing 2-1. Pines then played Ashland in a consolation game, also losing 2-1. For the tournament, Healy had 18 digs, while Mary Loeser had nine digs. Bohnen had 14 blocks, Alft had 13 blocks and Ridderbusch had eight blocks. Bohnen had 31 kills on the day, while Claire Decker had eight kills.

Mosinee too strong for Eagles; Pines to host Lakeland, Antigo

The Northland Pines boys soccer team fell to Great Northern Conference (GNC) powerhouse Mosinee last Thursday by a score of 6-0. The win gave Mosinee a 4-0 conference record and 10-0 overall, while Pines is now 2-2 in conference play and 8-3-1 overall. Mosinee scored four firsthalf goals to take Pines out of the game. While the Eagles managed 23 shots for the game, the difference was the quality of scoring opportunities. They have a large group of seniors who are athletic and very polished, and scoring comes pretty easy for them. The speed and timing of their runs is excellent, said Pines coach Larry Favorite. They took several of our small upfield mistakes and converted them into goals very quickly. I would rank their team in the top five or 10 in Division 2 soccer. On Saturday, the Eagles traveled to Hayward for the Hurricanes tournament. With two players out with injuries, Pines struggled to get a rhythm against Hayward, who won 5-3. While the Eagles had better possession for the game, they could not contain Haywards Ryan Wisdom, who scored five times. Pines managed three goals for the game, two by Trevor Laszczkowski and one by Dylan Weber. In the second game of the day, the Eagles fell behind Rice Lake 1-0 in the first half. But an unassisted goal by Mitch Moline tied the game at the 28-minute mark. The second half was a back-and-forth affair until Pines converted a set play with 12 minutes remaining. Scott Moline found Devin Sauvola for a one-touch shot for the game-winning goal, which was the first of Sauvolas career at Pines. Evan Hartwig had five saves in the net for the Eagles. This week, the Eagles host archrival Lakeland Tuesday and Antigo Thursday. Both games begin at 5 p.m. behind the high school.

PICKLE BALL Players gathered recently at Riverview Park for team games of Pickle Ball. Since the all-ages game is easier on the body than tennis, its popular with senior citizens looking for exercise. Pickle Ball is played using a paddle, Wiffle ball and distinct set of lines similar to tennis. Anyone interested in playing is welcome to attend the games, which are held Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9 to 11 a.m. at Riverview Park.

Bluejays lose to Predators in football

The Three Lakes Bluejays football team lost 51-6 last Friday night to the Northern Elite Predators, comprised of players from Goodman, Pembine and Niagara. We played well in the first and only allowed one touchdown, said Three Lakes football coach Brian Fritz. But their numbers and overwhelming size got to us by the second quarter. The Jays, who are a relatively small team, also had trouble covering for some starters who were lost last week because of the flu, according to the coach. We just dont have a deep enough team to cover for the loss of players, said Fritz. Three Lakes is scheduled to host Lena this Friday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW

Drivers turned their cars loose at TNT Speedway Saturday for the 17th annual Fall Special, and the racing did not disappoint in this final race of the season. Hurleys John Kallas won a thrilling nonsanctioned Street Stocks feature. Eagle Rivers Terry Stebbeds got some vindication for two weeks ago, taking the Midwest Modifieds feature. Rhinelanders Denny Tushoski put a bow on another championship season with another TNT Bombers victory and Gleasons Kasey Gross won the finale in the TNT Stingers. The Street Stocks feature was a two-car dual between Kallas and Argonnes Leif Gunderson, who was racing with a heavy heart following the passing of his father, Dick Gunderson, earlier in the week. Gunderson held the point for most of the race, but Kallas got alongside with six laps to go. The two would remain side by side for the final six circuits. Kallas gained the advantage coming to the white flag. Gunderson stuck the nose in front down the backstretch, going three wide through the middle of lapped traffic. But Gundersons storybook ending came up one corner short as the ring and pinion gear failed off turn four. Kallas won by just more than a foot. Gunderson, Ben Pitlik, track champion Jordan Kurtti and Kevin Maulson Jr. rounded out the top five. Two weeks ago, Terry Stebbeds thought he had won the Midwest Modifieds fea-

ture, only to have a beadlocked right front wheel cause a disqualification and hand the win and track championship to Bruce Belland. Stebbeds redeemed himself Saturday leading all 15 laps of the feature. The battle wound up being for second.Belland passed Joe Kin for the spot on a restart with seven laps left, but Duane Dunbar got by Belland with four to go. None of them could catch Stebbeds, who performed celebratory donuts on the front stretch upon taking the checkered flag. Dunbar, Belland, Dennis Mikkelson and Travis Friske rounded out the top five. Denny Tushoski passed John Johnson Sr. for the lead in the Bombers with four laps to go, but was not in the clear by any means as Dustin Miller breathed down his neck. Miller stalked the champions machine the final four laps, but was unable to get a clean run to the inside.Tushoski, Miller, Johnson, Mike Bukovic and Joe Graveen rounded out the top five. In the Stingers, Gross passed Zach Degner, ending a multiple-lap side-by-side battle with two laps to go, and inched away for the win. Louis Malluege, Joe LaFreniere and Rob Schuppler rounded out the top five. Powderpuff and mechanics races rounded out the racing part of the festivities and the awards followed. Johnson and Bill Martin were awarded trophies crowned by upsidedown race cars for their rollovers during the season. Dan Melton, Heidi Karshbaum, Dan Schultz and Eric LaFreniere earned Rookie of the

Year honors and the top five in the points in each class received trophies. The Rutzen family recognized all the drivers, crew members, sponsors, fans and employees that made the 17th season at TNT Speedway possible.

OPINION/COMMENTARY

PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER SINCE 1985

NEWS-REVIEW Essayists: If were only sick, we can get well

THERE ARE THOSE who claim ours is a sick society that our country is sick, our government is sick, that we are sick. Well, maybe theyre right? Our leaders in Washington (Congress and the White House) have helped create a crisis of confidence. Public opinion polls tell us we have a record-low confidence level with their job performance. Americans dont think they have shown leadership and they havent proposed adequate ideas on what to do to solve the economic crisis and create the 20 million jobs that are needed. On Thursday night, President Obama announced plans for a new $450 billion American Jobs Act to a joint session of Congress. Critics say it could take five to six years to implement the key infrastructure jobs that would create most of the jobs. Unemployed Americans cant wait that long for the country to return to greatness. What is needed now is a plan to unleash the $1.2 trillion cash sitting on corporate balance sheets offshore. The Federal Reserve estimates there is $7.3 trillion parked in savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Most of that money is earning less than 2%. Getting that cash into the system would go a long way toward

People Make the Difference

fueling a recovery. In these troubled times, we need our leaders to put petty politics aside, find common ground, compromise and work together for the sake of the country. We need bipartisan solutions to our long-term problems. There are no easy, short-term answers to the long-term challenges. As the polls reflect, the public has doubts about the willingness of our leaders to work together. If they refuse to compromise and show some courage, the Sept. 11 masterminds will have succeeded in their goals of bringing us down. Some are saying with public confidence in our leadership so low, and pessimism so high, theres nowhere to go but up. Thats not how America became the worlds leader and economic power. It is time Washington stepped up and put us on the right course. The following essay was published in 1993 in a Destroyer Escort Sailors Association publication. The author was not identified. The thoughts made then are still true today. We are going through tough times now, but we can get better. After all, this is America. I submit that Im sick and maybe you are, too. I am sick of having policemen ridiculed and called pigs while cop killers are hailed as some kind of folk hero. I am sick of being told that religion is the opiate of the people, but marijuana should be legalized. I am sick of commentators and columnists canonizing anarchists, revolutionaries and criminal rapists, but condemning law enforcement when such criminals are brought to justice. I am sick of being told that pornography is the right of free press, but freedom of the press does not include being able to read the Bible on school grounds, or in our courts. I am sick of paying more and more taxes to build schools while I see some faculty members encouraging students either to tear them down or burn them. I dont like paying more taxes while my neighbors pay less and continue to receive money for

Our View
Ministry Eagle River hospital remains vital to this area
A lot has changed in the health-care field since Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital opened its doors in September, 1961, but what remains constant is the community hospitals role in providing quality health care, jobs and economic stability to this region. The hospital will formally celebrate its 50th anniversary with an open house next Tuesday, Sept. 20, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the front lobby of the hospital. The biggest event of the evening will have officials unveiling a wall of honor that recognizes the generous donors who have contributed the past half-century. Serving the basic health-care needs of a rural community would best describe the humble beginnings of Eagle River Memorial Hospital, which was founded by far-sighted community leaders who truly believed their sacrifices would be rewarded by local access to life-saving medical care. An increasingly mobile society and enormous changes in the health-care industry put severe strains on rural hospitals, many of which closed or faced closure. Eagle River escaped that demise by affiliating with Howard Young Health Care, which later affiliated with Ministry Health Care to form an incredibly diverse, strong health-care network across northern and central Wisconsin. Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital earned a life-saving boost in 2000, when it qualified to become Wisconsins first Critical Care Access hospital under a new federal program. The change resulted in cost-based reimbursement for services provided to Medicare patients, a vital financial victory. So whats the big deal? First and foremost, survival of the hospital means the continuation of top-notch emergency care close to home. Local services mean not only a quicker response in lifethreatening situations, but local control over the quality of that health care. Secondly, the economic and social health of Eagle River and its neighboring communities has always hinged on whether residents could depend on quality health care. Most people deciding where to locate a seasonal or retirement home, or relocate a family, see access to quality health care as vital. Without it, we believe there would be far fewer children in our schools. The hospital is also one of the largest employers in Vilas County. As such, they are a driving economic force the year around in an area that relies quite heavily on seasonal, tourism-related business. We are fortunate to have an exceptional team of people in place to guide Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital into its second 50 years. They face many challenges in trying to retain staff and physicians at a time when patient numbers and revenues are down. We wish them the best. We want to thank those far-sighted community members who saw the need and took action to raise funds for a local hospital more than 50 years ago. The hospital has always been vital to the areas economic health, and thats not about to change anytime soon.

not working. I am sick of Supreme Court decisions which turn criminals loose on society, while other decisions try to take away my means of protecting my home and family. I am sick of pot-smoking entertainers deluging me with their condemnation of my oral standards on late-night television. I am sick of being told that policemen are mad dogs who should not have guns, but that criminals who use guns to rob, maim and murder should be understood and helped back to society. I am sick of not being able to take my family to a movie, or play a video game, unless I want to have them be exposed to nudity, homosexuality, mass mayhem and the glorification of drugs. I am sick of riots, marches, protests, demonstrations and confrontations and other mob temper tantrums of people intellectually incapable of working within the system. I am sick of hearing the same phrases, the same slick slogans, the cries of the people who must chant the same thing like zombies because they havent the capacity for verbalizing thought.

Maintaining cars and bodies

MY CAR and my body are in about the same shape. Both have quite a few miles on them but theyre running well and I havent had any serious trouble with either. All thats needed is some preventive maintenance. I dont know which is harder taking my body to the doctor or my car to the garage. Both worry me. Im always afraid theyll find something I didnt know about. The only advantage to taking my body to the doctor over taking my car to the garage is that the doctor never asks me to leave it overnight. Its surprising how many similarities suggest themselves in the treatment of our cars and our bodies. Most of us are vaguely nervous about catching something else in a hospital or a doctors office. A car often comes out of the garage with more problems than you knew it had when it went in. I feel extraordinarily lucky that neither my car or my body seems to suffer from any of the ills you hear so much about on radio and television. I dont have trouble with engine knock, dirty spark plugs or hemorrhoids. This morning on the radio, I heard something like, More doctors recommend Metamucil. Well, I dont suffer from whatever they say it cures. I feel the same about Metamucil as I do about AAMCO, the transmission specialists. AAMCO says you can go right in and have a transmission fixed without an appointment. It sounds like a good deal, but in 35 years I suppose Ive owned 20 cars and I never had any more need to have my transmission overhauled than Ive had to take Metamucil. The other thing that makes me think of cars and bodies at the same time is that insurance companies To ROONEY, Pg. 19A

It was a summer-like weekend in the North

With sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s last weekend, it was a great opportunity to enjoy one last outing on a North Woods lake before colder fall temperatures prevail. This canoeist paddled along a rocky shoreline as the sun glistened on the lake. --STAFF PHOTO

OH SUMMER, we hardly knew ye. It was only yesterday, wasnt it, that we laid plans for camping trips, cookouts, hiking expeditions and countless fishing outings, and now yesterday is gone. Next thing you know, we will be watching leaves fall, cutting extra firewood and getting our snow shovels ready. But before any of that happens, before any of that could happen, my wife and I managed to get in one beautiful summer fling in Michigans Upper Peninsula (UP) last weekend.

plus years, will you? Our first getaway stop was at Messiah Lutheran Church in Marquette, where as penance for my tardiness with my Christmas gift, I was required to sit through a church service and reception for the retiring assistant synod bishop. It actually wasnt that bad an ordeal for one like me who shuns crowds of all sorts, even though my wife was the only person I knew. In fact, the service was quite nice. After the church affair, we headed for the wilds, the country where the semifamous town of Big Bay lies close to the south shore of my favorite lake, Lake Superior.

OP-ED/READER OPINION

Town of Phelps needs legal survey on ATV issue

Dear Editor: First, I must apologize for a blatant lie I had told in a previous ad. The number 75% for all-terrain vehicle (ATV) alcohol-related deaths was 3.572% above the actual 71.428%. For this, I am sorry! Hyperbole and lies is where all of the emotionally charged rhetoric has come from. Nonetheless, there are numerous claims to have the right to drive ATVs on forest roads, trails, paved roads and paved highways. We dont even have a right to drive a car on the highways! From the News-Review archives, back in 2004, Roger Flaherty stated that driving an ATV was a privilege, but now with all the hype, many now claim it is a right. At the Phelps ATV forum, Town Chairman Collin Snook mistakenly stated that Phelps had sent out surveys this previous winter and the results were the reason for further forums! I tried to correct this at the earliest chance and have him read the questionnaire, but he said they were not getting into that! This extremely biased questionnaire, composed by Dan W., Landover ATV Club, was on the back side of our tax bills and was missed by many as stated at the forum, and completely disregarded by many others myself included. This questionnaire was the kindling that started the inferno that burns in Phelps at the present time! The questionnaire stated that it would not be used for anything political and no action would be taken because of it! Approximately 1,400 tax bills sent out and approximately 390 questionnaires returned. Of those, 224 favored using county/town roads as routes, 164 opposed using roads as routes. Not hardly a true representation but no action to be taken! I believe this entire ATV fiasco would be behind us now if we would have had a legitimate, legal Phelps town survey! Thank you, Rod Whitehead Phelps

west of Big Bay. We hiked three-quarters of a mile to the Yellow Dog Falls on the Yellow Dog River, and I can tell you the hike was easy and well worth it. At low water levels, the falls are not what you might call awe inspiring, but instead are simply in the beautiful category. At the downstream edge of the pool at the base of the falls, rock cairns are spaced across the river, cairns that will wash away next spring when snowmelt swells the river into a much larger torrent roaring over the falls. After visiting Yellow Dog Falls, we moved on and took a much shorter walk to Big Pup Falls, appropriately enough found on Big Pup Creek. The falls, more like a cascade of small drops, spills 50 vertical feet or so, with no drop more than 10 feet. After Big Pup, it was time to head back north to a small harbor a mile north of Big Bay.

There we walked along a short but beautiful sandy beach, stuck a toe in the cold waters of Lake Superior and rested with our backs against a driftwood tree trunk. Then it was off to tour the grounds of a lighthouse built in 1896 and operated by light keepers until the 1940s. The lighthouse is actually a private bed and breakfast now, but the sign at the gate said visitors could tour the grounds between 10-4 each day. After we got our fill of gazing out across Lake Superior, it was back to our home for two nights, the Thunder Bay Inn in Big Bay. And therein lay the biggest reason for our visit to Big Bay, for it was at the Thunder Bay Inn, once owned by Henry Ford, where a portion of the Academy Award nominated movie Anatomy of a Murder was filmed. The cast for the movie read like a whos who of Hollywood stardom, starting with Jimmy Stewart and including the likes of George C. Scott, Lee Remick, Ben Gazarra, Kathryn Grant Crosby (Bings

wife), Lana Turner, Eve Arden and Orson Bean. The Thunder Bay Inn, so named for the fictional town of Thunder Bay, Mich., in the movie, was built in 1911, and current owners Wayne and Gretchen Peacock have done a wonderful job of decorating 12 upstairs guest rooms with antiques of the times. In the large great room downstairs, available only to hotel guests, there are cabinets filled with china from the Ford Hotel era, and the expected displays of photos, newspaper clippings and other memorabilia from the days the movie was filmed there. There are photos of Anatomy book author John Voelker, who wrote under the pen name, Robert Traver, showing actresses Remick and Crosby some of his favorite trout flies, and many other pictures of the cast, both on- and off-screen. Most of the cast visited at Voelkers home, and in fact Stewarts home and law office in the movie was located in an Ishpeming home Voelker once lived in. A few other movie notes: A

May snowstorm almost kept filming from being shot on time; the real murderers name for whom Voelker served as defense attorney in real life was Lt. Coleman A. Peterson; and the real murder victims name was Mike Chenowith, owner of the Lumberjack Tavern where the murder was actually committed. One last thing, in case you wonder why this trip went all Hollywood for me, its because Voelker, alias Traver, is one my of all-time favorite authors, for his novels, yes, but more for his superb UP trout fishing books, Trout Magic, and Trout Madness. I own a first-edition hardcover copy of the latter. Personally autographed for me by Voelker, it is one of my most treasured possessions. I have to tell you, our weekend in Big Bay was most enjoyable, even though my wife informed me upon arriving home that I still owe her two days on her Christmas present. My punishment, I guess, for delivering a present way, way late.

Snook, Ray deserve credit

Letter to the Editor: Id like to recognize the Phelps Community Development Committee for organizing the Phelps downtown planting day. Our town looks beautiful and next year the fruits of labor of the many volunteers will even be more spectacular as these plants mature. Two people deserve special recognition and they are our town Chairman Colin Snook, who initially contacted the Wisconsin Department of Transportation regarding money the Phelps town owed the state resulting from the Highway 17 development project. He asked if the town could receive credit toward the amount due if it presented a plan for plantings along Highway 17 in Phelps. Their answer was, Lets see your plan. Enter Shelly Ray, who developed the plan and submitted it. The plan was approved, thus allowing us to keep some of the money locally. Great job to all involved, especially to Shelly, for all her efforts. Edward Rahn Phelps rock or a bomb, you will not find me under a placard, you will not see me take to the streets, you will not find me expressing my anger and indignation to elected officials. You will find me speaking out in support of those officials, institutions and personalities who contribute to the elevation of society and not its destruction. You will find me contributing my time, money and personal influence to helping churches, hospitals, charities and other establishments which have shown the true spirit of this countrys determination to ease pain, suffering, eliminate hunger and generate brotherhood. But, most of all, youll find me at the polling place. There if you listen you can hear the thunder of the common man. There, all of us can cast our vote for an America where people can walk the streets without fear.

Time that corporations pay fair share

Letter to the Editor: Many large corporations pay little or no taxes. The existing corporate tax code contains hundreds of deductions, exemptions, tax credits, grants, depreciations and loopholes. These items are appropriately named corporate welfare items. The existing corporate tax code does not differentiate profits made from products manufactured/assembled within the United States versus those manufactured/ assembled in foreign countries. It encourages corporations to move manufacturing jobs to foreign countries where labor costs are significantly lower than those within the United States. It also allows corporations to keep those foreign country profits in the foreign country and not pay taxes on them. Presently, corporations pay only 9% of all income taxes, while individuals and small businesses pay 91%. I believe that its about time that corporations start paying their fair share of the taxes, and thus help reduce the federal deficit and pay down the national debt. Both houses of Congress agree that corporate tax laws need to be changed and certain deductions should be removed from the existing code. They cannot agree on which ones, or what the tax rate should be, and they want to wait another year or so after the election to do anything. I believe that Congress needs to get off their butts and do their job now, not next year. Here is a very simple solution that would create new jobs, reduce the size of government, increase government revenue, reduce spending and reduce the deficit. A. Eliminate all corporate tax deductions, exemptions, tax credits, grants, depreciations and other corporate welfare loopholes from the existing tax code and tax total profits instead of taxable profits. B. Reduce the existing tax rate of 35% to 20% for American corporations operating with the United States, but tax all profits received from products manufactured in foreign countries at the 35% rate. C. Encourage foreign corporations and U.S. corporations with a tax incentive over the next five years of a 10% tax rate if they move manufacturing facilities to within the United States within the next 12 to 24 months. This reformed corporate tax code would allow for a reduction of IRS personnel and department operating costs, increase revenue and create new jobs. Write your congressman and ask them to have the Congressional Budget Office evaluate this reformed tax code and estimate the new jobs created, revenue increase and reduced government spending.

National Guard stronger 10 years after 9/11
___________

BY VAUGHN R. LARSON
___________

In the 10 years since the terror attacks in New York and the Pentagon launched the global War on Terror, the demand for the National Guard has been disruptive but not destructive, according to the commander of the Wisconsin National Guard. When the Army contemplated mobilizing the Army National Guard for operations in Afghanistan and later in Iraq, there were many who thought that would break the National Guard, said Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, adjutant general of Wisconsin, during a recent press conference. On the contrary it hasnt broken us. It has made us stronger. Dunbar said it wasnt unusual for the nation to rely on the National Guard, even in a time of consistent

conflict, but that the repetitive mobilizations are unique. Its really only since World War II that weve maintained such a large active duty standing military force, he explained. I would suggest to you were relying on the National Guard much like weve done throughout our history. I dont think its much of an anomaly. And the proofs in the pudding our retention is up, our recruiting is up. Its important to remember when the nation adopted the total force concept and moved to an all-volunteer force, the National Guards participation was theoretical, he continued. Well, its theoretical no more. In these past 10 years, weve become an operational National Guard, and our capability is proven. Soldiers and airmen who

have joined the Wisconsin National Guard since 9/11 say they like the missions and being part of the fight overseas, Dunbar said. Thats not to say wed like to keep fighting a war, he continued. But if the countrys going to be engaged, the National Guard wants to be engaged with them. Dunbar said that over the years, the National Guard has served many different functions, from colonial militia to continental army to Civil War combatants. This legacy, he said, has helped the Guard maintained its ability to respond to state emergencies even as it deployed units overseas in the global War on Terror. The Wisconsin National Guard has responded to several de-clared state emerTo LARSON, Pg. 20A

Imagine everyone paying fair share

Letter to the Editor: If you actually do believe that everyone should pay their fair share in taxes, then that would mean the tax rate on every income will be the exact same amount. Lets imagine: The Jones family earned $18,000 per year, that is $1,500 each month. The Smith family earns $48,000 per year or $4,000 each month. The Rich family takes in $600,000 per year, or $50,000 each month. Imagine that at the end of each month, everyone had to take the amount they owe in taxes down to the tax collector. And lets simplify it further by adding that each family had to pay that tax in cash. They could not use a credit card nor a check, only cash would be allowed. So at the end of every month, Jones comes down and hands the tax man $375, Smith $1,000 and Rich $12,500. Imagine the difference in mindset that would cause in the American electorate. Imagine the president telling the people they had to fork over even more of their hardearned money so he could dole it out. Just imagine the reality of that. Barry Ewald Minocqua buying things, we could get things fixed. The doctors, the dentists, the optometrists, the tailors, the shoemakers, the specialty repair shops of all kinds would be right there together where we could get two or three jobs done at the same time without moving the car.

VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS

READER OPINION

Phelps ATV ordinance ill-conceived, risky

Letter to the Editor: Thank you for your coverage of the proposed all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ordinance debate in Phelps. My family owns a small resort along Sugar Maple Road, one of the proposed routes. We have guests who have been coming for over 50 years now with three generations to enjoy the loons, watch the eagles, swim in our sandy bay, and use our canoes and kayaks to enjoy the lake. We have few motorized boats because the lake is small and shallow, so it is unusually quiet and peaceful. We have managed to keep the resort going despite the general deterioration of the Phelps business district. There was a movie theatre and two good-sized grocery/general stores in Phelps in the years when we first summered here. It is the beauty, nature and serenity our resort offers that draws our guests up here year after year. All five of the buildings my family owns are within 10 to 40 feet of the roadway. We purchased one of the cottages from Dr. Martin Franzmann, who composed several hymns that are now in the Lutheran hymnal in the small study cabin within 10 feet of Sugar Maple Road. Doubt that one could accomplish anything like that in the future with ATVs roaring by. Then it was a gravel road, but is now paved, with a lot of boat traffic going at fairly high speeds since it was extended to Lac Vieux Desert. When a group of motorcycles drives by (which is rare and only happened once this summer), one can hear them coming and going for several minutes. It echoes across the lake, everyone takes notice, as they react to the very loud noise. If Sugar Maple Road is designated for use by ATVs, this noise would be a daily/nightly occurrence. Yet, there is an even more important issue: safety. Before attending the Phelps forum, I was not aware that ATVs: 1) were not designed for use on roadways and are labeled with a warning not to use them on paved roads; 2) that the Consumer Product Safety Commission which regulates the design and manufacture of ATVs for safety states in its safety message that ATVs should not be operated on paved roads; 3) a June 25, 2009, research report titled, On-Road Operation of ATVs, requested by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, quotes the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America, a nonprofit association dedicated to ATV safety, as ATVs are not designed, manufactured, or in any way intended for use on public roads, streets or highways; and 4) despite this, 40% of the deaths in the previous six years from ATV accidents occurred on roadways, many involving automobile and truck collisions with ATVs. With this safety information, some of it discussed at the forum, one could conclude that neither the town of Phelps nor the county would even consider opening up roadways, much less paved roads, for ATV traffic. Yet there is a proposed ordinance which would allow just that, purposely and knowingly putting residents and motorists, not to mention the ATVers, in danger. How can this be? Surely the minor income ATV use of roadways might produce for the county or town or local bars and restaurants would be more than offset by the loss of business from the tourists who come up North to vacation in peace and quiet. Our guests frequent the restuarants, buy groceries, T-shirts, souvenirs, bait, fishing and other equipment and also attend the many festivals and activities we now offer in Vilas County. Passage of this ordinance would create not only liability and safety issues for Phelps and the county, and loss of other tourism revenue, but will also increase the cost of road maintenance that would result in tax increases at a time when we can ill afford it. The Phelps Town Board, as well as Vilas County, has a duty to look out for the safety and well-being of its residents and property owners. Let reason, prudence and good judgment prevail. Please vote down this proposed ordinance. Karen (Petersen) Johanson Phelps

A good thing occurred in Phelps on 9/11

Dear Editor: On Sept. 11, 2001 (9/11), our North and South Twin Lake Riparian Association (NSTLRA) was to take the Phelps School seventh-grade students on an Adopt-a-Lake Meet the Lake outing on three pontoon boats. The Adopt-a-Lake program is to teach our students stewardship of our lakes and land. When I turned on the television that morning, I saw an airplane-sized hole in one of the Twin Towers. As news filtered in, I called Dawn Nordine, then Phelps School administrator, to see if we should go ahead. Dawn told me that the students were aware and we could go ahead. Then I called Mary Lou Knearem, our NSTLRA president; Laura Felda, the state Adopt-a-Lake coordinator; and Tiffany Lyden, the Vilas County lake specialist. It was my job to do this, as I was the lake planning committee chairman, and the Adopt-a-Lake chairman. All agreed to go ahead. The students were looking for Eurasian water milfoil, an invasive discovered on North Twin Lake in early July. We had an excellent outing. The students were very engaged and learned a lot. Articles and pictures were in the NewsReview. As a result, Nordine got the kindergarten, second- and sixth-grade students involved with three other lakes, and within one to two years, many lake associations in both Vilas and Oneida counties got involved in controlling or eradicating Eurasian water milfoil. The students, Phelps School staff, state and county personnel, and our NSTLRA volunteers learned a valuable lesson. Even in the event of a national tragedy, they learned to focus on the job, not to give up hope, and to stay the coarse, even if it is one step at a time. Life does go on. The adults kept a positive focus in teaching the students, while our hearts were aching. It was a very positive activity on such a horrible day. A valuable lesson was learned. Don Zirbel Conover

Moral character has disappeared

Dear Editor: During the approximately three years that we have been in a deep recession, more Americans than ever have lost faith in our civilian government institutions, which constitute both elected representatives and hired/appointed employees at both the federal and state levels. To simplify the subject, it could be said that the moral character of our government has largely disappeared. This characteristic is not just present in the United States. One only needs to look at the events that have occurred in northern Africa and the Middle East over the past several months. Many countries that make up the European union are also plagued by large-scale citizen dissatisfaction and moderate to severe economic difficulties. It is sadly apparent that the shining brightness of humanity has begun to fade. It is up to those of us who can remember a past era of high moral standards and creativity in America, and along with other individuals outside of government who can visualize a better society, to impart the positive values of philosophy, virtue, inspiration and wisdom to all those interested. Let us get started. Today. Ray Gattavara Auburn, Wash.

Creating jobs is good news

Letter to the Editor: I recently ran across an article that contained the following: In June, Wisconsin created 9,500 net new jobs, while Illinois lost 7,200 net jobs in the same time period. From January to June, Wisconsin had 39,000 new private-sector jobs created, which is twice the rate of the national average, and our recent Wisconsin deficit of $3.8 billion has now become a surplus! No matter what political party you belong to, this is great news for all Wisconsin citizens, and it should be shared by all. Richard Gern St. Germain

gencies since 2001, and has also assisted other states with natural disaster response efforts, to include Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Our National Guard has never been more ready, reliable or relevant, he said, never more combat hardened or experienced, and never more accessible. The adjutant general said the National Guard has proven it can continue its current operational tempo. When you look at the fiscal crisis were in right now, I believe the nation can and should rely on the National Guard to continue to be an operational National Guard, he said. Thats not to say you dont need an active duty (military) you do. But when youre going to try and balance fiscal crisis with national security, the National Guard has proven it can take more of that responsibility going forward. Dunbar said that being the 30th adjutant general of Wisconsin, during this difficult time in history, is both humbling and a privilege. But the things I do pale in comparison to my commanders and what these soldiers, airmen and families do, he said. From that perspective, my jobs very easy. Dunbar emphasized that the Wisconsin National Guard works very hard to make sure deploying units get the needed training and resources. When we send a unit to the mobilization station for final training, they meet or exceed every standard the Army wants them to have, he said. Same thing with the Air Force. Dunbar acknowledged that, even though Wisconsin National Guard troops are highly prepared when they deploy, he seeks additional help. Every day I pray for those soldiers and airmen, he said. Every day. Vaughn R. Larson is a first sergeant in the Wisconsin National Guard.

Caterpillars from Caden, an event planned to celebrate the life of Caden Safer, will be held Saturday, Sept. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Custom Components property behind River Valley Bank in Eagle River. With the assistance of professionals, children will be able to operate a Caterpillar excavator. The event will be free for children, but donations will be accepted for the Northwoods Childrens Museum (NCM), one of Cadens favorite places. Caden, the son of Jeff and Karen Safer, was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rapidly developing tumor in the brain, and died Nov. 22, 2009, at the age of 7. His wish to operate large construction equipment was fulfilled when Jason Boxrucker, co-owner of North States Utility, took his mini excavator to the Safer home and allowed Caden to ride with him through their woods. It was evident that although Caden was thrilled to be a passenger, he definitely wanted a chance to be in control. A small group of family members watched as Caden quickly took what Boxrucker

The show is slated Friday, Sept. 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Northland Pines High School auditorium. The Woodland Strings also will perform in the commons area of the school beginning at 6:30 p.m. The Duttons are international touring and recording artists who play everything from bluegrass to classical in their shows, featuring a variety of instruments including violin, guitar, bass, viola, banjo, mandolin, keyboard, harmonica and drums among others, as well as dancing and comedy. Throughout the show, each Dutton will play at least six different instruments. The Duttons have won recognition in To HCPA, Pg. 2B

A day to remember
I was watching the coverage of the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. As Presidents Obama and Bush walked onto the platform, they were immediately led behind a bulletproof shield. A youth choir began to sing. How sad, I thought, that these young children have to see their president standing behind a bulletproof protective shield. These kids were infants on the day America was attacked. They have spent their entire lives in post-9/11 days. They have only known a country where security at airports demands that we submit to searches. They have lived their years in a world at war, a world in search of Osama bin Laden, a world too focused on terrorism and fear. They have grown up in a world where hurricanes, tornadoes, forest fires and earthquakes are all too frequent, where cynicism grows. Their world is so very different from the one I knew at age 10. Though life was far from perfect in 1950, I never thought about terrorism. The fears I had were To FRIEDEL-HUNT, Pg. 3B

Nicolet science academy offered to area high school students

All area high school freshmen and sophomores are welcome to attend an Environmental Science Academy at Nicolet Area Technical College this fall. The academy will run on five consecutive Saturdays Sept. 24, Oct. 1, 8, 15 and 22 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the Nicolet College Rhinelander campus. Transportation will be provided to and from the Nicolet campus from area communities. Lunch will be provided. Everything is designed around hands-on activities that are fun for students, said Susan Kordula, academy coordinator and director of admissions and PK-16 Pathways at Nicolet College. Theyll learn a wide variety of skills that will help them succeed in high school and also be better prepared academically when they start college, she said. During the academy, students will produce a video about the threat of aquatic invasive species to North Woods lakes. Working in small teams, students will learn about and collect invasive species, sample water quality, watch scientists shock a stream to analyze fish populations, and shoot video of the activities. Students will then produce a digital video on how to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in the North Woods. In the process, students will be taught about science careers and develop their skills in science, technology, engineering and math. Tuition is $487, however, a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction will cover all tuition costs for students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch. Registration deadline is Monday, Sept. 19. For more information, or to register, students should contact their high school guidance counselors or Kordula at (715) 365-4464, 1-(800) 5443039, ext. 4464, or skordula@nicoletcollege.edu.

FROM PAGE 1B
focused on the local neighborhood bully and a serial killer loose in our country kidnapping little girls. It was not perfect back then, for sure. World War II was behind us in many ways (not all). I did not think about our country being attacked. I did not think about the Middle East except at Christmastime as the gospel about the birth of Jesus was read at Mass. As the names of those who died on Sept. 11, 2001, were read, my mind wandered to my own memories of that day. Bill and I were driving south along the St. John River in New Brunswick, Canada. We were in our motor home in the middle of a two-year full-time RV trip. We pulled off to an empty parking lot attached to a small coffeehouse. We loved the big empty parking lots, as we were 56 feet long with no ability to go in reverse without removing the car we were towing behind us. As we entered this sort of dumpy coffeehouse, we saw only two people hunched over a small black-and-white TV. They immediately motioned us over to see what was going on in New York. The rest of the story is one of shock, just as yours is. We spent two hours there. That evening in our campground, our TV would not work, as we had no Canadian service on our dish. The Canadians reached out to us and many invited us to watch the coverage in their campers. Sept. 11 was a sad day for all of us, made only sadder for me as Bill and I did not know then that death would separate us when we honored that day only 10 years later. Our world is in trouble. We all know that. We hope for peace some day. We count on it becoming a part of our lives. We owe it to our youths to make it happen.

Trees For Tomorrow receives donation from former student

Trees For Tomorrow, Wisconsins only accredited natural resources specialty school, received a generous gift from alumnus Amanda Brotz. A graduate of Sheboygan High School in Sheboygan, Brotz attended Trees For Tomorrow during her junior year. The experience impacted her future, providing her with a career path and a lifelong connection to the natural resources that provide her with a comfortable lifestyle. Brotz is now an environmental compliance coordinator at Plastics Engineering Company in Sheboygan. She participated in a fundraising event called the Movers & Shakers Gala, an annual benefit for Lakeland College and the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra. In four years, Movers & Shakers has raised just over $1 million, including a three-year total of $178,500 for local charities and nonprofit organizations like Trees For Tomorrow. Trees For Tomorrow had such a positive impact on me, reflected Brotz. When I attended in junior high, I specifically remember the point when a light bulb went on in my head, and I realized that I could actually pursue some sort of natural science as a career. Brotzs donation will directly benefit students in the Sheboygan area interested in participating in a natural resources education workshop at Trees For Tomorrow through scholarship support. It is more important today than ever before that students learn about sustainable management and use of our natural resources, said Maggie Bishop, executive director of Trees For Tomorrow. With budget restraints, todays parents and schools are unable to provide more than the classroom basics without additional financial support. We need to prepare our future environmental leaders for the tough decisions they are going to face, stated Bishop. Trees For Tomorrow serves more than 100 schools from the Great Lakes region with natural resources education workshops. Each workshop combines outdoor recreation with environmental education. This educational experience combines critical thinking, cooperative learning, group decision-making and conflict resolution, helping students develop into environmental leaders and future land stewards. With budgets being strained in todays economy, we truly could not make it without gifts and support from people like Amanda, said Bishop. Trees For Tomorrow offers more than 50 courses, allowing teachers to customize a workshop to best meet the needs of their students. Because many students attending the school need financial assistance, a tax-deductible scholarship fund has been established at Trees For Tomorrow. For more information on any of the programs offered or to provide financial assistance, call (715) 479-6456 or visit treesfortomorrow.com.

Famed motorcycle builders to appear at Lake of the Torches

Lake of the Torches Resort Casino will host Vinnie DiMartino and Cody Connelly of American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior, Saturday, Sept. 17, at the casino, located in Lac du Flambeau. They will be available for autographs and pictures from 1 to 5 p.m. at the casinos main entrance. Fans of all ages are welcome at the free event. DiMartino and Connelly are best known for their appearances on the reality TV show American Chopper. Originally working for Orange County Choppers, which is the featured motorcycle-building shop on the show, DiMartino opened his own shop, V-Force Customs, in Rock Tavern, N.Y., which has built bike models such as the V-Force 1 and Geese Chasers Boomer 1. DiMartinos shop also produced the Tampa Bay Storm, commissioned by the Tampa Bay football team. In 2010, DiMartino and Connelly returned to TV, working with Paul Teutul Jr. on the series American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior. The appearance at Lake of the Torches will coincide with the 2011 Tomahawk Fall Ride. Riders can present their Fall Ride cards at the casinos Club Advantage desk to receive $10 in free play that can be downloaded onto their favorite machine. For every Fall Ride biker who checks in, Lake of the Torches will donate $10 to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. All Club Advantage members will earn quadruple points while playing slots that day from 1 to 6 p.m. More information on upcoming events at Lake of the Torches is available at lakeofthetorches.com.

Service Academy Day slated

U.S. Sens. Herb Kohl and Ron Johnson and Reps. Tom Petri, Reid Ribble and Sean Duffy will hold United States Service Academy Day 2011 Saturday, Sept. 17, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Center, located at 3000 Poberezny Road in Oshkosh. This seminar is for all high school students in the state of Wisconsin to discuss the requirements and procedures for seeking a nomination to the U.S. service academies. All necessary qualifications and the procedures for applying to the academies will be explained. Registration is not required. Representatives from the U.S. Air Force Academy, the Coast Guard Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy will be present to answer questions and distribute information about their academies. Wisconsin cadets/midshipmen who currently attend each academy will be on hand to share their firsthand experiences. Kohl, Johnson, Petri, Ribble and Duffy encourage all interested students and parents to attend. All questions regarding this event should be directed to the senate and congress members offices.

Workshop to focus on coal power

Many Ways of Peace will host a presentation, The True Cost of Coal, by Beehive Design Collective of Machias, Maine, Thursday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. at 217 S. Main St. in downtown Eagle River. This will be a visual workshop and storytelling on coal power, climate change and sustainability. An hourlong session on Art and Activism for Youth for area college and high school students will be held at 4 p.m. Participants will gather around a giant collaborative mural, mapping out the big picture of the fuel that feeds the American dream, what were really paying for it and what are the real alternatives for all of us, said Debra Ketchum Jircik, director of Many Ways of Peace. The Maine-based activist artist group uses larger-thanlife banners of its graphics to create awareness of the story of mountaintop removal of coal in Appalachia and the impacts of coal both there and beyond. Two years in the making, the image is the culmination of a collaborative research process. To make the poster, the Beehive interviewed hundreds of community members throughout the Appalachian region. The group has created other graphics campaigns on global and environmental issues to prompt discussion and understanding. For more information, call (715) 480-4697 or visit manywaysofpeace.org.

History encounter groups raffle fundraiser under way

The Living History Encounter (LHE) will sell raffle tickets as a fundraiser to help support its fall event, a re-enactment of the skills and lifestyles of Native Americans and European traders and explorers in the Great Lakes region between 1600 and 1840. The group has sold raffle tickets throughout the summer. The Forest County Potawatomi Foundation donated $25,000 to the event, said LHE President Bill Kroll. Their wonderful donation allows us to offer this program free to the public, but we have been trying to raise an additional $5,000 to provide for additional services, he stated. The re-enactment program will be offered to groups Thursday and Friday, Sept. 29 and 30, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and to the general public Saturday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the grounds behind Rocking W Stable, just north of Northland Pines High School, and parking will be provided on-site.

Commission on aging to host long-term care presentation

The Vilas County Commission on Aging will sponsor an informational presentation by Sam Johnson of the Medigap Helpline, a service of the state of Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care. The workshop will be Thursday, Sept. 22, at 1:30 p.m. at Olson Memorial Library, located at 203 Main St. in Eagle River. The presentation will include detailed information and a question-and-answer session. According to the commission on aging, long-term care insurance refers to insurance coverage for medical or personal-care services that may be needed in the future due to a chronic illness or disability. It usually does not cover care received on a short-term basis following a hospitalization or an acute illness. In the past, long-term care generally only covered nursing home care. Many of todays long-term care policies cover care provided in a variety of settings, including nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, private homes, adult day care or group living arrangements with supportive services. Wisconsin law dictates that long-term care policies sold within this state must provide coverage for both institutional and community-based care, meaning that the policy must provide coverage both in a nursing home, as well as in private homes. The costs for long-term care policies vary greatly depending on the types of services included in the policy. The average cost of nursing home care in Wisconsin increases each year as well. For example, in 2005, the average cost for a day of nursing home care was $164; however, in 2011, this amount has risen to $215 per day. The presentation will include answers about eligibility and other factors that may impact whether or not a person should buy long-term care insurance. For more information or to register, contact the commission on aging at (715) 4793625.

_____________
(One Week, 9/14/11) REGULAR MEETING Board of Education School District of Three Lakes July 6, 2011 Meeting called to order at 6:00 p.m. by President Ingram. Board members present: Kwaterski, Olkowski, Ingram, Rulseh and McCloskey. Also present: Dr. George J. Karling, District Administrator; B. Greb, Principal; D. Straus, Special Education Director; G. Welhoefer, Guidance Director; M. Bobert, District Secretary; and 4 visitors. Accounts payable vouchers #104808-105020 ($436,314.37) and payroll checks #900012005900012168 and 56420-56456 ($424,695.65) approved for payment ($861,010.02). The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by those in attendance. Dr. Karling reported on the agenda posting and notification of the meeting to the media. Motion was made and seconded to approve the agenda as printed. Motion carried. 5:0. Motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes of the May 31, 2011 regular meeting as printed. Motion was made and seconded for a friendly amendment to include reference to the presentations of Bob Evsich and Charlotte Kaufman under Positive Happenings, and to approve the minutes as amended. Motion carried. 5:0. The Board reviewed the August Board meeting date, noting that the Annual Meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on August 31. Motion was made and seconded to hold the August regular Board meeting following the Annual Meeting on August 31. Motion carried. 5:0. The Board reviewed the year-end budget for 2010-2011. The budget showed a fund 10 balance of $249,302. The balance was due to utilization of the referendum money from the first year of the districts referendum to exceed the levy limit. Dr. Karling reported that the district was on target with his initial referendum projection, and that the 20112012 budget indicates the district will be within $3,000 of that projection for the second year of the referendum. He recommended that the Board approve budget transfers to close out the year-end budget including: $18,520 from object 300 to object 100, $24,988 from object 500 to object 400, and $5,799 from object 600 to object 700, amounting to total budget transfers of $49,307. Motion was made and seconded to approve the budget transfers and close out the year-end budget as recommended. Motion carried. 5:0. The Board thanked Dr. Karling and his staff for their work on balancing the budget. The Board reviewed final figures for the 2011-2012 budget. The budget indicated that expenditures were reduced from the previous year by $496,731.41, and revenues were reduced from the previous year by $827,758.70, yielding a budget shortfall of $3,638.84. This was remarkable considering that the state budget required the district to decrease their levy for the 2011-2012 school year by an additional $380,000. The total budget yielded a tax levy decrease from the prior year of $810,159.19, which in turn would yield a mill rate of 5.33 with no increase in valuation. The 2010-2011 mill rate was 5.88. Motion was made and seconded to approve the 2011-2012 budget as presented, with the understanding that the administration may make further adjustments if necessary in preparing the budget for the annual meeting. Motion carried. 5:0. The Board thanked Dr. Karling and his staff for their work on the budget development. The Administration reviewed the districts temporary borrowing for the 2011-2012 school year. Motion was made and seconded to grant preliminary approval for a temporary borrowing resolution for an amount not to exceed $3,700,000 as requested. Motion carried. 5:0. The Board reviewed milk bids for the 20112012 school year. Discussion followed. Motion was made and seconded to accept the firm bid submitted by Dean Foods/Morning Glory Dairy for the 2011-2012 school year. Motion carried. 5:0. Dr. Karling reviewed the End of the Year Enrollment Report for 2010-2011. The report indicated that Three Lakes Elementary had 162 students, Sugar Camp Elementary had 123 students, junior high 84 students, and high school 211 students for a total resident student count of 580. The full-time equivalency count for June 7, 2011 came in at 563 students as compared to the full-time equivalency count for June 4, 2010 that came in at 545 students. Dr. Karling indicated that this is an indication that the declining enrollment trend may be coming to an end. Dr. Greb gave the spring sports report. The Board congratulated the athletes and coaches on their performance. Dr. Greb updated the Board on the wireless upgrade for the district, and reported on curriculum updates for various courses. The Board thanked Dr. Greb for his updates. The Principals and others in attendance shared Positive Happenings with the Board. Dr. Karling mentioned that Mr. Greb was now Dr. Greb because he completed work on his Ph.D. in Leadership. Those in attendance congratulated Dr. Greb on his accomplishment. Clerk Rulseh read a letter of resignation from Mr. Scott Schulz from his position of Sugar Camp 6th grade boys basketball coach. Motion was made and seconded to accept the resignation of Mr. Scott Schulz from his position of Sugar Camp 6th grade boys basketball coach with appreciation for a job well done. Motion carried. 5:0.

Attorneys for Plaintiff 1414 Underwood Avenue, Suite 403 Wauwatosa, WI 53213 (414) 727-1591 ODess and Associates, S.C., is attempting to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. If you have previously received a Chapter 7 Discharge in Bankruptcy, this correspondence should not be construed as an attempt to collect a debt. 1731 Report as read. Pete Schoff asked if open enrollment was included in the number listed for tuition, and Dr. Karling responded affirmatively. Motion carried. Treasurer Olkowski commended Dr. Karling and his staff on the handling of the budget. Clerk Rulseh read the Clerks Report summarizing the 2010-2011 revenues and expenditures. Motion was made by Pete Schoff and seconded by Bill Greb to accept the Clerks Report as presented. Motion carried. Dr. Karling presented the 2011-2012 budget summary of revenues and expenditures, including the tax levy. The total budget decrease was $547,470.01 or -4.78%. The Fund 10 decrease was $491,576.26 or -5.70%, which yielded a tax levy of $7,791,988 which was a decrease of $810,159.19 from the previous year amounting to a decrease of 9.42%. The projected mill rate with no increase in valuation for 2011-2012 would be 5.33 mills. Tom Rulseh indicated that Fund 80 was up, and that included funding for the Fitness Center, police liaison, and things of that nature. Dr. Karling reviewed the referendum projection that showed the district is within $35,000 of the original referendum projection for the 2011-2012 school year. He indicated this was very good in light of the fact that the districts levy was cut by the state an additional $380,000 for this year. A revised referendum projection indicated that at the end of the third year the district should have a cumulative balance remaining of $108,227. Rob Ribbe asked about the districts status in relation to state funding. He indicated that perhaps as a result of the district being well managed, it was an indication to the legislature that the funding formula was working. Discussion followed, with comments regarding inflated property values, the funding formula being based on per pupil expenditures which can vary significantly among districts in relation to size, and facility payments throughout the state being made with tax dollars coming out of the Three Lakes School District. Dr. Karling also indicated that the district was one of the 10 most taxing districts in the state at the present time, and that with the elimination of all district debt in the spring of 2012, he anticipated the district could end up being the second lowest taxing district in the state for the 2012-2013 school year. Motion was made by Terry McCloskey and seconded by John Olkowski Jr. to levy the 2011-2012 school tax of $7,791,988 as recommended in the District Board of Education Budget for the operation of schools, debt service, and community service for the ensuing year of 2011-2012. Motion carried. Chairperson Ingram read the present Board salaries. Motion was made by Mike Kwaterski and seconded by John Olkowski Jr. to have the Board salaries remain fixed. Motion carried. Motion was made by Tom Rulseh and seconded by Bill Greb to authorize the reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses of Board members when traveling in performance of their duties. Motion carried. Kim Starke asked for clarification on what it meant that Board salaries are fixed, and Board members responded they will remain the same as the prior year. He also asked whether reimbursement of expenses applied only to Board members, and the Board responded affirmatively. Motion was made by Bill Greb and seconded by Lisa Wales to authorize the Board to sell or dispose of surplus property and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding in which the School District is interested. Motion carried. Chairperson Ingram asked Dr. Karling about a date for the 2012 Annual Meeting. Discussion followed, with Dr. Karling recommending that the 2012 Annual Meeting be held on August 29 at 6:30 PM. Motion was made by Pete Schoff and seconded by Bill Greb to set the 2012 Annual Meeting for August 29, 2012 at 6:30 PM. Motion carried. Bill Greb indicated he receives comments that Three Lakes is a terrific school, and he credits the Board and administration and staff for that. Tom Rulseh commended the staff for adopting the HRA in an effort to save the district money. There being no further business to come before the annual meeting, motion was made by Tom Rulseh and seconded by John Olkowski Jr. to adjourn at 7:20 PM. Motion carried. Respectfully submitted, Mary R. Bobert District Secretary 1756

Center for the Arts to host screening of Prohibition

Wisconsin Public Television, Edward U. Demmer Memorial Library and the Three Lakes Center for the Arts in the Northwoods will offer a public preview screening of Prohibition Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the Center for the Arts, located at 1760 Superior St. in Three Lakes.

Whats New at the Library?

A facilitated discussion of the films subject matter will follow the screening. Prohibition tells the story of the rise, rule and fall of the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the entire era it encompassed. The culmination of nearly a century of activism, prohibition was intended to improve the lives of Americans and to protect individuals, families and society at large from the devastating effects of alcohol abuse.

The film raises vital questions about means and ends, individual rights and responsibilities, the proper role of government and who is a real American. The Prohibition screening event is a collaboration of Wisconsin Public Television and the Wisconsin Library Associations Reel to Real project and is sponsored by the Edward U. Demmer Memorial Library and the Three Lakes Center for the Arts in the

Northwoods. Reel to Real seeks to engage the community by providing access to thought-provoking screenings and discussion topics. Funding for Reel to Real is provided by a grant from the UW-Extension Program Innovation Fund, the Alliant Energy Foundation and UW Health.

TH NNUAL LUM AKE
The town of St. Germain Lakes Committee has scheduled a lakes information meeting open to the general public Saturday, Sept. 17, at 10 a.m. at the St. Germain Community Center. The meeting will focus on a report by Onterra LLC, which was employed by the town of St. Germain to conduct studies of the condition of seven town lakes. Studies were completed on Alma, Moon, Lost, Found, Big St. Germain, Content and Fawn lakes. Onterra completed the surveys of as part of a $68,000 grant awarded by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The studies have been conducted over the course of the past two years and include assessments of each lakes water quality, aquatic vegetation and watershed. Particular attention was paid to discover the presence of any invasive plant species with the lakes. Additionally a stakeholder survey was sent to all project lake property owners to measure their view of their lake quality both longand short-term. The information gathered through all of the above investigations is important to the viability of the towns lakes and therefore their effects on property values and tourism, according to the lakes committee. All interested community residents are welcome. The meeting will be conducted on the same day as the chamber of commerce Colorama Festival.
