Vilas bike/ped trail plan gets county board approval

___________
BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH
NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR

Now that the countywide plan for bicycle-pedestrian trails got unanimous approval of the Vilas County Board last week, its time to put the plan into motion, according to one trail development leader. The primary aim of the Vilas County Countywide Bike/Pedestrian Route and Trail Plan is to show ways that an interconnected system of routes and trails might be established countywide, says Vilas Area Silent Sports Association (VASSA) president Mike Robillard. Now that it has been adopted by the county board,
the next step is to start using it, said Robillard. The countywide plan includes established trails, such as the BATS/Heart of Vilas Trail from Boulder Junction to St. Germain, and the part of the Wilderness Lakes Trails system that runs along Highway B out of Land O Lakes. It also includes recently funded off-road trail segments. One is the beginning segment of the Great Headwaters Trails system and will run from Conover toward Phelps. Another is the Eagle River segment of the Three Eagle Trail that will extend south from the Railroad Depot in Eagle River to a picnic area on private property near the
end of Section 9 Road. A third is a trail that will stretch from Mercer in Iron County toward Manitowish Waters. Most importantly, according to Robillard, is the countywide plan shows future possibilities for trails and routes to connect every part of the county from Manitowish and Lac du Flambeau to Arbor Vitae and Phelps. All those possibilities are worth considering, and the most promising ones need to be sorted out, so that they can move from being ideas to being realities, said Robillard. Robillard said trail development will result in significant economic, transportation and health benefits. As the
towns and trail groups around the county progress in their planning, he said the countywide plan can be updated to reflect those changes. Its a living document, not anything set in stone, he said. Not only is the plan important for bicycle-pedestrian trail planners, but snowmobile clubs and towns also can benefit from it, according to trail developers. In some cases, Robillard said multiuse trails can leverage the benefits and even increase the chances of securing funding for trail development. He said the Conover segTo BIKE TRAIL, Pg. 2A

Frustrated over a state order to pay $158,000 in fines and penalties for not obtaining proper environmental permits, a Clearwater Lake developer has closed the snowmobile trail between Eagle River and Three Lakes. Adam Gohlke, developer of the Clearwater Lake Club LLC, wrote a letter to Three Lakes Trails last month stating the condominium association would close the snowmobile trail across the property. Gohlke wrote: This letter is to serve as a 30-day notice per subsection h. on the enclosed agreement to cancel the agreement allowing snowmobile trail access across the property. The trail (No. 13) is considered the most heavily used snowmobile trail in Vilas County and the main direct
link between Three Lakes and Eagle River. Chamber officials say that snowmobiling is the key tourism attraction for the communities during the winter months. Earlier this summer, OneiTo SNOMO TRAIL, Pg. 2A

Based on other years, tourism officials expect more than 40,000 people will converge on the Eagle River area for Cranberry Fest this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1-2. According to Kim Emerson, events coordinator for the chamber of commerce, the combination of brilliant fall colors and festival activities could bring record numbers to Eagle River this weekend. The fall colors should be near their peak this weekend, said Emerson. With predicted high temperatures between 55 and 60 degrees, festival activities and the fall colors should be a great combination for people. The 32nd annual festival at the Vilas County Fairgrounds and other venues around town is expected to attract a large audience due to a huge arts and crafts show, cranberry-related food sales, fit-
ness events, entertainment and other related activities. The fests biggest attraction is the arts and crafts show starting at 9 a.m. both days, with booths set up both indoors and outdoors. This years show will feature more than 300 artists and crafters, said Emerson. It just keeps growing. There should be a great variety of crafts. Details on all Cranberry Fest activities, including events in downtown Eagle River, are available in the Cranberry Country Crier, a special section included in this newspaper. While Emerson admitted its a busy week, the chamber office staff currently is taking reservations for the cranberry marsh and winery tours which will start Thursday with tours at 11 and 11:30 a.m. Pre-festival To CRANBERRY, Pg. 4A
State Rep. Tom Tiffany (RHazelhurst) said the recent wildfires in northern Minnesota may be a preview of future events in northern Wisconsin on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (CNNF) if current federal forestry practices remain in effect. Like many Wisconsin residents, my family awoke to the strong smell of smoke in our home that rode a brisk northwest wind from northern Minnesota, said Tiffany, referring to the Sept. 13
event. The problem spread from Minnesota and through Wisconsin, with air quality alerts issued as far away as Chicago, Ill., for people with respiratory difficulties. The fire burned more than 100,000 acres of timber that was blown down by a storm in 1999, according to Tiffany. The Forest Service did not allow loggers to clear the fallen trees, instead opting to remove them with a conTo TIMBER, Pg. 2A

Snomo trail: sledders have other options

FROM PAGE 1A
da County Assistant Corporation Counsel Thomas Wiensch asked the Wisconsin Department of Justice and Oneida County Circuit Court Judge Mark Mangerson to allow just a portion of the fine be paid in exchange for the trail easement. But Oneida County Corporation Counsel Brian Desmond said Monday the office never got a response from the Justice Department or Mangerson. The Oneida County Corporation Counsel intervened due to the importance of snowmobiling to the communities. We are not suggesting the penalties, fees and surcharges were unreasonable or that the Gohlkes are unable to pay them. Instead, we are simply asking that you accept payment for part of the amount in the form of easements, allowing the snowmobile and ski trails that are so important to our communities to be kept open, Wiensch wrote to Steven Means, executive assistant in the Justice Department. Thus we are not asking for leniency or a change in the amount, simply a change in the form of payment. Because that form of payment in the form of a long-time easement never developed, Gohlke, who is frustrated with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), said it was time to pull the plug. The DNR didnt handle this well and thats a DNR statefunded trail, said Gohlke. Its the DNRs problem because they are not interested in working with us. The original case Mangerson issued the environmental penalties against the Clearwater Lake Club Condominium Association Dec. 10, 2010. The Department of Justice originally suggested a fine of $400,000, but the judge decided on $158,000. The court found that the defendants, Richard Gohlke and Adam Gohlke, were the active project developers, and that they violated several DNR environmental laws while developing the property. The construction project involved 900 acres of land completely surrounding 358-acre Clearwater Lake and several smaller lakes in Oneida and Vilas counties. The developers crossing the property is the shortest and fastest link between Eagle River and Three Lakes, there are other routes available to sledders. Holly Tomlanovich of the Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club said Monday that snowmobilers will have two options to get between the communities this winter if a new trail cant be developed along Highway 45. One option is further to the west, taking Trail 17 to Sugar Camp and then over to Three Lakes, said Tomlanovich. The other option will be to the east, taking Trail 10 east to the Kimball Creek Trail south to Three Lakes. Tomlanovich said the trail south of the city of Eagle River will likely remain open, though there will be a sign at Willow saying the trail is not a through trail to Three Lakes. From that point south, it will be a club trail to allow access to the snowmobile trail system for property owners in that area, said Tomlanovich. We will try to make up the state-funded portion of Trail 13 we are losing so we dont lose those dollars.

ment of the Great Headwaters Trails system is a current example of that. Federal funds for bike-pedestrian trail development will cover 80% of the segments cost, and State Snowmobile Program funds will cover most of the remaining 20%. When the segment is done, the crushed limestone trail will work well for yearround use, and the project will enhance the snowmobile routes around Conover and include three new bridges. The funded project includes a new bathroom facility for Conovers town park. Dale Mayo, the countys snowmobile coordinator, has been instrumental in bringing together the key parties in the Conover project. Being able to see the possibilities is what it is all about, said Mayor. We want all interested parties to be able to see the possibilities as clearly as possible, so we all can determine what has the most benefit for the most people, and then think about how we can make that happen. Year-long process The countywide plan is the result of more than a year of work by a team of people brought together by VASSA and the county Forestry, Recreation and Land Department. The team included Robillard, Mayo, Gary Meister, Ann Currie, Dick Aylward, Eagle River Administrator Joe Laux, and Darryl Landeau, a senior planner with the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (NCWRPC). The county contracts with the NCWRPC for a variety of planning services. Over the course of the year, Robillard contacted all the
FROM PAGE 1A
bike trail groups in the area for their input. VASSA held a bike trail summit last April, so representatives from all those groups could meet to review a draft version of the plan. The refinements from that meeting were invaluable to getting to the current plan, said Robillard. Now that the plan has been adopted by the county board, VASSA and the forestry department are considering how to help people and groups around the area understand how to get the most out of it. Officials said more details about that will be announced early in 2012. For the time being, Robillard says VASSA is glad to have been able to help put the plan together. We thank Darryl and the people at NCWRPC profusely for their work on this, but are even more grateful that the county board sees how valuable this is to our county, he said. VASSAs second annual meeting is scheduled for Nov. 1. That will be an occasion for us to review progress and determine what to focus on for the future, said Robillard. Having the countywide bikepedestrian plan in place is a great springboard into our third year of existence. The map and narrative parts of the Vilas County Countywide Bike/Ped Route and Trail Plan will be made available online when the final draft comes back from the NCWRPC.

The Forest Service has steadily reduced timber harvest in recent years, partly as a result of lawsuits by preservation groups. The lack of proper forestry practices on our national forests is leading to greater wildfire hazards and insect infestations in overmature tree stands, said Tiffany. The time has come for the federal government to review and change its forestry practices. The current policies are endangering wildlife and people alike, said Tiffany. Just as importantly, it is causing the slow death of our communities due to a lack of jobs.
trolled burn, said Tiffany. But only 16% of the trees were ever removed, leaving literally tons of dry kindling behind. Tiffany said the wildfire is a direct result of a lack of timber harvest and access restrictions in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. The U.S. Forest Service has adopted similar harvest and access restrictions for the CNNF and other national forest lands in the Great Lakes states, he said. These illadvised policies could lead to Wisconsin experiencing frequent wildfires similar to those in the western states.

PHELPS The Phelps Town Board has scheduled an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) workshop this Thursday, Sept. 29, at 6 p.m. at the Phelps Town Hall. The purpose of the meeting is for board and committee members to discuss the results of a previously distributed opinion survey on proposed ATV routes. Town Chairman Colin Snook said hed like to take the proposed plan to the Vilas County Board before creating an official ordinance. Im promoting that before we pass any ordinance we should take the plan and run it past the county board to get some critique from the county, said Snook. They have not weighed in on whats acceptable or unacceptable. They havent given us any guidance whatsoever. At a previous forum, the board publicized a draft ordinance created with the help of a five-person committee of Phelps citizens both for and against ATV routes through town. The proposal indicated trails would be for a three-year trial period and include 23 road segments. With a majori-
ty of signatures of property owners along a road, citizens could petition to add a new route or delete an existing route. ATV operation would be from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. from May 1 to Oct. 31. Vehicle speed would be limited to 10 mph or less when operating within 150 feet of a dwelling or within 100 feet of a pedestrian. Signing roads properly would be the responsibility of the Landover ATV Club. While no permanent decision was made at that public forum, Thursday the town board will review comments heard then and will discuss the results of the survey to make a decision on the ordinance. Were going to discuss the results of the survey, said Snook. It depends on what happens at that meeting to determine what the next step is. Once the board members have had a chance to review the results of the survey, its public information, so anyone can go in and peruse the results, he said. For more information, contact Snook at (715) 545-2022 or email anewphelps@gmail.com.

Cold and flu season is back, are you ready?

People gear up their families and themselves in many ways to help get them through the very unpleasant cold and flu season. There is a wide choice of over-the-counter treatments available as well as flu shots. However, some of these can leave you feeling as exhausted and irritable as the illness itself can. Chiropractic treatment offers you a natural alternative to risky pills and immunizations, and the supplements we offer can also help boost your immune system. People of all ages should add chiropractic care to their strategy for warding off and fighting colds, the flu and their effects. Some of the symptoms that Drs. Dave and Ellie Draeger can help alleviate are stiffness, lack of flexibility, sinus pressure, ear aches, headaches, fatigue and possibly reduce the number of incidences of colds and flu. The nervous system controls all functions of the body, including the immune system. Chiropractic care can have a very positive effect on your immune function. So if you and your family are suffering from the cold, flu or other chronic respiratory problems such as allergies and asthma, then it is essential for your body structure to be healthy. It could make the difference between a quick recovery and lingering illness. Call to make your appointment today.

tours also are planned Friday every 30 minutes from 10 a.m. to noon. We urge visitors to reserve their spot now, especially for Saturday, when we run tour buses every 20 minutes starting at 9 a.m., said Emerson. There are still openings for a tour of a cranberry marsh and the Three Lakes Winery famous for its cranberry wines. Reservations are requested and tours will leave from the Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center starting Thursday and go through Sunday at 2 p.m. Tours are $7 for adults and $5 for children 12 and younger. Emerson said to learn more about scheduled tour times and to make reservations, people can call the Eagle River chamber of commerce at 1(800) 359-6315 or (715) 4796400. The events coordinator said more volunteers are always needed to work at Cranberry Fest. She said it takes close to 400 volunteers to pull off the festival. Our volunteer crew is pretty good right now, said Emerson. But we always need volunteers for a wide variety of opportunities. Even if people can give a couple of hours, its appreciated. People interested in volunteering can call the chamber office. Beat the traffic When it comes to parking at Cranberry Fest at the fairgrounds, Emerson had a few tips for drivers who may experience delays as they enter Eagle River. To avoid delays and to get to Cranberry Fest in a timely manner, we are suggesting that you take the alternate route that has been set up, she said. Emerson urges drivers to watch for signs for the alternate route. If youre approaching Eagle River from the west on Highway 70, take Sunset Road to the left and follow to Highway G, she said. Then turn right onto Highway G and follow to Highway 45. Turn right onto Highway 45 and follow into Eagle River. Once you have arrived in Eagle River, feel free to find parking in the downtown area or at the Derby Track and then walk or take the free shuttle bus both days to the Cranberry Fest grounds, said Emerson. There will be free parking and a flea market/craft show at the Derby grounds both days. The shuttle will stop at the following locations: Eagle River chamber office, Butchs Pizza North, parking lot at the corner of Third and Wall streets, First Congregational United Church of Christ, the Derby Track and at the east gate of the Vilas County Fairgrounds. Emerson said people can park throughout the downtown area and take the shuttle bus to help assist in traffic control. The shuttle will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. Emerson noted there is free parking at the Derby Track. tion throughout the weekend. Three area service groups Eagle River Rotary Club, Greater Eagle River Tennis Association and the Eagle River Area Jaycees work together each year to provide a variety of sandwiches and lunch items for Cranberry Fest visitors. For the third year, the three groups will host a cranberry pancake breakfast, served from 7 to 10 a.m. both days in the main food tent. Lunch will be served after 10 a.m. The breakfast will feature cranberry or plain pancakes, pork sausage and a drink, all for $6.

Vilas County Court report
Jury finds Chosa guilty of armed robbery, battery

Following a four-day trial, a Vilas County 12-person jury took less than two hours to find a 37-year-old Lac du Flambeau man guilty of armed robbery. Leonard R. Chosa was found guilty of holding a man at gunpoint while stealing his money, credit cards and gold necklace in Lac du Flambeau Oct. 7, 2010. The jury also found Chosa guilty of substantial battery, use of a dangerous weapon; two counts of attempted armed robbery; and possession of a firearm as a convicted felony. The jury deliberated at 4:32 p.m. Friday and returned with the guilty verdict on the five charges at 6:09 p.m. Clyde B. Martin, 28, also of Lac du Flambeau, was sentenced in February for his involvement with Chosa in the armed robbery. Vilas County Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III sentenced Martin to eight years in the Wisconsin State Prison System and four years of extended supervision. Chosa will be sentenced Dec. 12 at 2 p.m. In other felony cases, Jeffrey E. Kulick, 27, of Lac du Flambeau, was bound over as the court found probable cause he had committed a crime Sept. 9 in the town of Lac du Flambeau. Arraignment was set for Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. Kulick is charged with physical abuse of a child, recklessly causing bodily harm; and physical abuse of a child. According to the criminal complaint, Kulick was taking care of two children at his girlfriends house in Lac du Flambeau and allegedly placed them in hot water in a bathtub. One child, a 2-year-old boy, received second- and thirddegree burns from the waist down. He also had a fractured arm, bruising under his fingernails and what were described in the complaint as old bruises on his body and face consistent with long-term physical abuse. The second child, a 3-yearold girl, had burns on the left elbow and left foot, a scrape with swelling on her forehead, and skin peeling on her burns, according to the complaint. The children were treated at Howard Young Medical Center in Woodruff and the boy was transferred to the UW-Madison Burn Center for further treatment. A spokesperson at the center told investigators the injuries were nonlife-threatening. Kulicks bond was modified from $100,000 cash to $10,000 cash or a cash/property bond with no less than $5,000 cash at the request of his attorney during his preliminary hearing last week. In the only other felony case last week, Patricia Ann Mitchell, 51, of Lac du Flambeau, entered a plea of no contest to an amended misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana. Judge Nielsen found her guilty and fined her $551. She is to pay $100 per month starting Oct. 15, 2011. Mitchell was originally charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana Jan. 12. She was arrested at her residence after investigators executed a search warrant and found numerous prepackaged bags of marijuana in her dresser drawer. They also found drug paraphernalia at the residence.
Police searching for Wilde following escape on Sept. 9

A 53-yearold man arrested following a drug bust in Lac du Flambeau Friday, Sept. 9, escaped from Howard Young MediWILDE cal Center in Woodruff where he had been taken for health issues, according to authorities. In the early morning hours of Sept. 9, members of the Lac du Flambeau Police Department and the Vilas County Sheriffs Department executed a search warrant in Lac du Flambeau. A large indoor marijuana grow and a large outdoor marijuana grow were located during the execution of the search warrant, according to a Lac du Flambeau Police Department press release. Marijuana plants, dried marijuana, drug paraphernalia and U.S. currency were seized by officers during the execution of the search warrant, according to investigator Nicolas B. Pendergast. Thomas J. Wilde and Arlene M. Poupart, 40, were arrested at the time of the search warrant. Wilde was transported to the Howard Young Medical Center for treatment of a health issue. Later that day, Wilde escaped from the hospital and is still at large. If anyone has any information in regard to Wildes whereabouts, they are asked to contact the Lac du Flambeau Police Department at (715) 588-7717 or the Vilas County Sheriffs Department at 1-(800) 472-7290.
In Oneida County
WI-VINE system provides notification to crime victims

___________
BY NEWS-REVIEW STAFF
___________
Oneida County Sheriff Jeff Hoffman said he is bringing an added level of protection to county residents with the Wisconsin Statewide Victim Notification Service (WI-VINE). The automated service notifies registered crime victims when offenders are released from jail and also provides around-the-clock access to offender information either by telephone or use of the Internet. In addition to crime victims, the WI-VINE system can be used by family members, neighbors, business owners, law enforcement officers, criminal justice professionals anyone impacted by crime who is interested in knowing the location and custody status of criminal defendants and offenders housed in the Oneida County Jail. Protecting the citizens of Oneida County is always our highest priority, said Hoffman. The WI-VINE service provides an added level of protection because it gives everyone access to timely and accurate information on offenders in our county and other counties throughout the state that currently offer the WI-VINE service. Our department is appre-
ciative of the support we have received from local law enforcement agencies and the recent records management system upgrade that allow us to participate in this grant and are delighted that we could make this important service available to the public, said Hoffman. Individuals throughout the county who are interested in inquiring about an offender or receiving automated notification of an offenders change in status can call 1-(888) 9448463 or log on to vinelink.com and search by an offenders name or booking number to obtain custody information. Those choosing to register for automated notification will be able to register multiple phones and/or email addresses where they will be automatically notified when the offender is released, transferred, escapes from custody or their status changes. In addition, live operator assistance is available 24 hours a day through the tollfree number, 1-(888) 9448463, and seven days a week for callers who have questions or require additional help. The WI-VINE service has been in operation in various areas throughout the United States throughout the past 16 years and the service is cer-
tainly designed with the victim in mind. It is very userfriendly, Hoffman said. What makes it special is the automatic notification feature as long as youve got a telephone or a computer, you can receive an automated alert anytime of the day or night. This level of protection and notification are critically important to anyone whos concerned about the whereabouts of an offender. The activation of the WIVINE service was funded by a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. Since 2005, the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification (SAVIN) grant program administered by the BJA has nearly doubled the number of states providing automated victim notification. The goal of the SAVIN program is to increase public safety and improve vital criminal justice decisions by ensuring that victims and community members are given timely and accurate information that enhances their ability to protect themselves. Oneida County is proud to join many other counties in making the WI-VINE service available to the citizens of Wisconsin, said Hoffman.

Three Lakes School gets new look

___________
The town of Three Lakes and the Three Lakes School District will team up to sponsor a walk-to-school event as part of the International Walk to School in the USA Day Wednesday, Oct. 5. Participants will meet at 7:45 a.m. at the Three Lakes Police Department adjacent to the Town Hall. Breakfast will be served and the group will walk to school at 8 a.m. The walk is designed to raise awareness and increase participation in walking and biking to school as a way to increase students physical fitness. Infrastructure grant The event will supplement a joint application by the town and school district for a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) infrastructure grant. In 2010, the town and school collaborated on a planning grant application for an SRTS project in Three Lakes. The team was successful in their bid when it was announced a year ago that the planning grant had been awarded. For all of 2011, the SRTS steering committee has worked with SAA Design Group of Madison, which is the state-appointed planner for the SRTS grant, on a formal plan that is a required element in the application for an infrastructure grant. The plan was delivered in draft form to the steering committee in June 2011 and has since been finalized. The next step, according to Three Lakes Town Chairman Don Sidlowski, is the formal grant application for those infrastructure funds. The school district was required to be the fiscal agent for the planning grant but, for the infrastructure grant, its the town that must apply, said Sidlowski. The application will come out around March 2012, is due by May and, by September, well know if we are successful.

In a recent six-week project, Three Lakes High School remodeled its front entrance at a cost of about $9,000 from its general funds budget. The blueprint was initi-
ated in an effort to make the entrance more welcoming, according to District Administrator George Karling. The architect, Bruce Renquist, donated his time and his services drafting plans for the project, said Karling. The school districts retired maintenance super-
visor Bob Rowe was hired for the brick-work. He was assisted by daytime custodian John Thornton, who also wired the lighting. Tim Berkelman of Berkelman Metalworks in Eagle River fabricated the metal logos to either side of the entrance, applying a blue powder-coat finish to
each piece. I think it really adds to our high school entrance and dresses it up quite a bit, said Karling. It looks really nice in relation to the rest of the facility. I want to thank everybody who worked on the project and donated time to help us get it completed.
A group of students, staff and project workers stand in front of the new entrace at Three Lakes High School. The addition
includes a new overhang with brick columns, lighting fixtures and two metallic Bluejays logos on either side.
Three Lakes School Board approves more inclusive fees at fitness center
___________
BY ANTHONY DREW
___________
After a review of annual fitness center fees at the high school, the Three Lakes School Board voted to charge $10 for district taxpayers to use the facility. The review was based on complaints from Three Lakes School District taxpayers who werent electors over their requirement to pay $60 for use of the fitness center. The normal fee for an elector in the district is $10. Charging the extra fee for nonelectors, many of whom support the school district through its programs and sporting events, didnt sit well with District Administrator George Karling. I just think it goes against what were trying to do, which is build good will, he said. Its my position, that if theyre taxpayers in the district, we need to recognize that. Many of them support us quite strongly and pass on that good will when they travel away from here. They speak of our community and our school. Other board members echoed Karlings sentiment, saying the school should
acknowledge the residents who provide its funding through taxes. School Board Clerk Tom Rulseh said the difference in charges was meant to inspire more people to become electors, but ultimately agreed that the fee should be lowered. It isnt a significant monetary difference to the district, said Rulseh. To me it was more an issue of encouraging people to be electors. But its not really our position to force that on anybody. After some discourse about who should be allowed to use the facility free of charge, Karling made the recommendation that would ultimately become the new policy on fitness center fees. I would like to recommend that someone make a motion that employees, spouses and their dependents will be permitted to use our facility at no charge, while district taxpayers will be allowed to use our facilities for a fee of $10 per person. Spouses and dependents are offered the discounted rate because of their inclusion on the districts insurance policy. Theyre on our insurance policy and we like to encourage wellness, said Karling.
Nonresidents of Three Lakes are still required to pay the full $60 fee to use the fitness center for the season. Board members also approved curriculum updates in Family and Consumer Education, Health and Business Education. Three Lakes teacher Terri Kroll presented updates for both Family and Consumer Education and Health, while teacher Bobbi Pulver gave Business Education curriculum updates.
School Board Treasurer John Olkowski Jr. suggested that the curriculum include information about voter registration before complimenting the overall work of Kroll and Pulver. Rulseh also added enthusiastic remarks before the board approved the curriculum updates. In other action, the board: approved the new staff grievance policy after a second reading; approved a graduation date of May 25, 2012, at 7 p.m.
Sidlowski added that the towns chances are good, because the state doesnt tend to find the planning process without completing the award cycle. Over 90% of those who were successful in the planning phase are awarded an infrastructure grant, he said. You just have to write the application. According to Sidlowski, the average award amount is $150,000 for towns the size of Three Lakes, with projects of the same scope, and can be as much as $200,000. The significant thing about the SRTS grant is, it is 100% funded, with no matching-funds requirement from the local municipality, said Sidlowski. Well be able to build a lot of sidewalks and walking/bike trails with those kinds of funds and, of course, it isnt just our students who will use this to get safely to school its also our seniors and other residents who will equally enjoy the use of this new infrastructure. Working with SAA, the steering committee identified the likely routes to school where new sidewalks would be constructed. These routes include Superior Street south to the apartments near Maple Shores, then along Forest Drive and Huron Street to connect the new East School Street corridor, plus the entire length of Highway 45 to Batagowski Drive on the north side of Anderson Street. A walking/bike path from behind the school to the Centennial Estates subdivision on Winkler Road also is in the construction plan. Sidlowski said that once the SRTS phase is completed, the town can consider extending the Highway 45 sidewalk to the grocery store and tying in Winkler Road and Huron Street to Bonack Loop, which is extensively used by those living in the senior apartments on Orchard Lane.

Vilas County Board delays hiring 3 highway workers, 1 sheriffs deputy

___________
BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT
___________
A total of four vacant positions in the Vilas County highway and sheriffs departments were left unfilled by the county board last week after much debate about employee safety issues and overtime costs. Three vacancies in the highway department as well as one in the sheriffs department, all created when employees chose to retire earlier this year, did not get a three-fourth majority vote from the supervisors to fill the full-time positions. The Highway Committee had requested to fill four vacant positions, but reduced the number to three prior to last weeks vote. But even filling two positions was rejected by the board. Supervisor Chris Mayer, chairman of the Finance Committee, suggested supervisors wait for the results of a staffing report the county paid $60,000 to have completed. My concern is we are due the report and maybe it will recommend eight or four limited-term employees rather than three permanent employees, said Mayer. Highway is a major concern and the report will give us advice. Im asking, Is there a reason we have to do it today? Mayer also said the cost of overtime for the department was in winter and the need for a full crew was in winter, but not summer. The Highway Department includes 20 union employees and three administrative positions. Highway Committee Chairman Jack Harrison cautioned the board that the further we wait, the sooner we could get in trouble with winter soon to be upon us. He asked acting highway commissioner Jarred Maney to address the staffing concerns. Were at a bare minimum and have just enough to cover all our plow routes, Maney said. We would like them (hirees) before winter, said Maney. If left vacant, it would create more overtime and any sickness or injury would delay plowing the town roads in Cloverland and Lincoln. When asked by Supervisor Linda Thorpe if some of those who retired could come back, Maney indicated he discussed that with them and they dont want to do it anymore. Board Chairman Steve Favorite noted that there were a lot of people out there who may want part-time work. But Harrison issued a warning about safety concerns. We cant take someone off the street and run this equipment, said Harrison. They tell us they retired because they dont want to be called out at 3 a.m. There are a lot of gauges on these trucks and, a
person off the street, when the plow wont rise and theres a red light on the dash, they dont know how to handle it. But Favorite was thinking about the countys financial challenges. Im just not convinced we need three full-time employees, said Favorite. Harrison reminded the supervisors the countys elderly population gets two basic services from the county roads and law enforcement. Other supervisors joined the discussion, with Erv Teichmiller offering an amendment to the resolution to hire two employees immediately because he said he worried the board wanted to micro-manage a department as large as this. That amendment passed 12-7 and the discussion again turned to the need. I dont want to be held hostage by the Schenck study, said Supervisor Sig Hjemvick, referring to the upcoming staffing report. Winters coming. Will the ambulance be able to get to your house? Supervisor Ron DeBruyne said the county should not be plowing roads for the towns of Lincoln and Cloverland, with Mayer revealing the county makes money plowing those roads. Favorite, who also is on the Cloverland Town Board, said it cost Cloverland $27,000 last winter to have the county plow its roads. Information from the town of Lincoln indicated the town paid the county about $47,000 during the same period. We are doing a cost comparison with St. Germain, said Favorite, saying Cloverland is considering having the town St. Germain plow its roads. Mayer returned the discussion back to the staffing report. If the study comes back and overtime is building, we should understand they (Highway) can come back for another person, said Mayer. If we dont hire, it doesnt mean the roads wont get plowed; it just may take a little longer. The motion to adopt the resolution as amended to hire two staff for the Highway Department was 13-6, which did not achieve the threefourths majority of the 19 supervisors present, therefore the vote to fill the positions failed at this time. That leaves four Highway Department positions vacant, as well as the highway commissioner position (see related story). Deputy sheriff The vacant deputy sheriffs position suffered the same fate as Highway. After an initial attempt to fill the position failed 14-5, a motion to reconsider brought the issue back to the table for further discussion. Mayer said the issue was
overtime and safety. Their overtime is out of control, he stated, indicating the Finance Committee looks at overtime very closely. But its a public safety issue. Favorite said the Sheriffs Department is more structured and there is a lot of overtime when working 12hour shifts. They have the largest overtime of any department, he noted. Bob Egan, chairman of the Law Enforcement Committee, said, We rack up overtime year-round, whereas Highways overtime is in the winter. A second vote was 13-6, which again did not achieve the 15 votes needed and the position remains vacant. Other business In other business, county board supervisors: approved the purchase of four new vehicles for the Sheriff s Department under the state contract for $119,932 and one new truck for Emergency Management costing $25,431; approved a new truck for the Forestry Department for $27,500, paid for by a non-interest-bearing state forestry fund loan paid back through the 20% severance tax on timber sales from county forestlands; adopted an employee grievance procedure required
by Wisconsin Act 10; approved the countywide bicycle-pedestrian route and trail plan developed by North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission partnered with the Vilas Area Silent Sports Association (VASSA); approved purchase of 10 tactical vests for the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, costing $15,700; approved replacing the 9-1-1 recording system to include ability to record text messaging; authorized spending $130,000 to complete the lighting project at Oldenburg Sports Park; approved increases in costs of housing inmates in the county jail; and approved salary increases for Corporation Counsel Martha Milanowski to $80,859 and Assistant Corporation Counsel Tara Alfonso to $61,350.
As Vilas County begins its search to hire a new highway commissioner due to the retirement of longtime commissioner Jim Fischer, the idea of sharing a commissioner with another county was discussed at last weeks county board meeting. Supervisor Jim Behling invited Randy Anderson, highway commissioner for Clark and Jackson counties, and Tam Burgau, human resource director of Clark County, to provide information on how sharing a highway commissioner works for them in central Wisconsin. Im on a subcommittee of the Wisconsin Counties Association working on the impacts of Act 10, the budget repair bill, said Behling. I talked with Clark and Jackson counties (officials) about their joint highway commissioner and invited them to address the Vilas County Board. We had put out feelers to other counties on sharing the position and we did get a response. Anderson and Burgau stressed it takes open minds and support from the supervisors of both counties, along with providing freedom to the commissioner on where he will be and what he will be doing on any given day. You need 100% support or youre setting yourself up for failure, Anderson told the Vilas County supervisors. You need to give the person latitude where to work. Both counties have separate county highway committees and they have one joint meeting a year. We can save money to purchase and share equipment and we will be trying to share manpower. Clark County has 27 highway employees and Jackson County has 34 highway employees. Vilas County currently has 23 highway department employees. Both counties had similar job descriptions for the highway commissioner position,
according to Burgau, so it was relatively easy to share the position. We require a BS (bachelor of science) degree and 10 years experience as a commissioner, plus five years of managerial experience, said Burgau. We didnt expect to get many applicants with those qualifications, but Randy Anderson had them. We were lucky. Burgau said Clark County is saving about $91,000 a year, even with the joint highway commissioner salary of $90,000 split 50-50 between the two counties. Supervisor Ron DeBruyne asked if there were any pitfalls to be aware of having a shared commissioner. You cant have the counties tearing the commissioner apart, replied Anderson. You must be willing to look at new ideas and have an open mind, both the staff and separate highway committees. When asked about advancing a patrol superintendent to commissioner, both guests indicated the learning curve is astronomical to learn the system. While the Vilas County Board was interested in sharing a highway commissioner with another county, no decision was made at last weeks meeting, and it may likely will be a topic at an upcoming Highway Committee meeting.

DNR snowmobile team to take educational direction this winter

___________
BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT
___________
Communication and a different direction for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNRs) Snowmobile Accident Reduction Team (SART) were discussed between the Vilas County Snowmobile Safety Committee and DNR representatives at a meeting last week. Reacting to complaints about past enforcement emphasis, DNR warden Gary Eddy and DNR public affairs officer Joanne Hass, both from the DNR central office in Madison, along with local DNR conservation warden Tim Price, revealed a new direction to be added to the SART program this winter. We started the program in the winter of 2005 and a review saw there were not enough educational components, Eddy said. It will be factored in. Yamaha has donated a trailer that we will use for education. Eddy said they started using it for all-terrain vehicle information and did voluntary sound measurements on
snowmobiles. We received positive reaction from lodging people and the courtesy sound checks will be offered during snowmobile events, said Eddy. The SART group will be reduced from six wardens to four, led by the local warden in the area. In Vilas County, were hoping to be up here for Cruiser Fest and the Derby. Well just use the educational aspect this winter, not warden enforcement effort and well partner with local snowmobile clubs and the (Vilas County) Snowmobile Alliance. SART enforcement complaints developed after major events in communities, but Eddy admitted communication was a problem. He said local wardens were contacted about SART after the events and rumors took off. Warnings are given A lot of those rumors were only about citations issued or delays at places where wardens were checking snowmobile registrations and not the number of warnings given. For instance, Price indicated he gives out four or five warnings for every citation so we are educating the users.
Price said the problem is, its the citations that get talked about, but not the warnings. When you read the blogs, committee member Renn Karl observed, you dont read where there were four or five warnings, just the citations. Statistics from the SART deployments also show more warnings than citations during the 2009-10 and the 201011 seasons all from six wardens from other areas of the state. In 2009-10, the Eagle River SART action officers issued 46 citations which included six operating while intoxicated (OWI) and 161 warnings. In St. Germain, SART wardens gave out 45 citations which included nine OWI, and they gave 95 warnings. In Minocqua, wardens issued 30 citations, including five OWI, and gave 55 warnings. In the 2010-11 season, SART wardens in Eagle River issued 21 citations, with one OWI, and they gave 115 warnings. Preventing accidents While there may be many causes for snowmobile acci-
One strike, youre out!
Holperin warns BadgerCare Plus Basic Plan participants

Wisconsins Department of Health Services (DHS) has instituted a no exceptions rule which ends participation in the states BadgerCare Plus Basic Plan for anyone who is late sending in their monthly premium, state Sen. Jim Holperin (D-Eagle River) warned constituents this week. Ive been contacted by several individuals who made premium payments that were late by a couple of days and, in every case, their BadgerCare Plus Basic policies were canceled outright no questions asked, and no exceptions allowed, he said. There are grace periods for Wisconsinites receiving BadgerCare for children and families, but those policies are subsidized by the state, Holperin explained. The BadgerCare Plus Basic Plan is supported only by participant premiums and so it is essential that enrollees send in their premium payment by the fifth of every month to continue receiving health insurance. Holperin said he is trying to help his constituents in northeastern Wisconsin. Ive tried to intervene in several cases where payments were inadvertently late or where there were other mixups, but the department has made it clear there will be no exceptions made for individuals who do not pay on time, said Holperin. Plus Basic enrollees who do not pay on time will be dropped from the plan at the end of the month they last paid for and will not be able to reenroll, Holperin added. The 12th District legislator noted that the BadgerCare Plus Basic Plan stopped accepting new applicants in March and is being phased out over time. Those currently enrolled in the program will continue to receive coverage so long as they pay on time, but the program is basically closed. The one strike and youre out policy is obviously designed to end the program as soon as possible, he said. In August, the basic plan premium increased from $200 per month to $250 per month.
dents, speed appears to be involved in most of them, according to a report presented to the committee. The committee recognized that many accidents are from vacationers from southern Wisconsin and Illinois who come here for snowmobiling and dont know the trails and may lack snowmobiling experience. Committee member Sig Hjemvick said while these are relevant, theres little information on the subjects. The people being killed are not local folks and rental sleds are factors in accidents, he said. We need detailed data to come up with different standards for such things as trail signing. But larger and more informational signs on the trails are not the answer when its speed, according to Price. Almost any curve is dangerous at high speed, said Price. Our problem up here is you go off trail and you end up in trees, while downstate you go off trail and you end up in cornstalks. Holly Tomlanovich, a motel owner and member of the Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club, said the club wants to attract more families. Families spend more money and your presence out on the trails is welcome, she said. Both Price and Vilas County Sheriff Frank Tomlanovich, along with trail groomer operators, extended an invitation for a ridealong during the season to see how things actually are on the trails. The safety committee and county alliance agreed to work to coordinate the SART educational component on snowmobile safety with the DNR.

State committee named to review mining laws
State Sen. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) announced last week the creation of a new Senate Select Committee on Mining Jobs. The committee will review Wisconsins mining laws and regulations with a goal of making improvements aimed at creating jobs in rural Wisconsin, according to Fitzgerald. If were serious about job creation, we owe it to our state to take a look at different and new ways to create jobs, said Fitzgerald. Mining has the potential to create good-paying, multigenerational jobs in a part of the state that desperately needs it, so I expect these senators to take a serious look at the issue. The committee will be chaired by Sen. Neal Kedzie (R-Elkhorn). Fitzgerald said mining has long been a part of Wisconsins history, from lead miners in the 1800s inspiring the Badger nickname, to roughly 2,900 Wisconsinites currently employed in the stone/sand/ gravel quarrying industry. According to the National Mining Association, metal mining employs more than 32,000 workers nationwide and all mining employs more than 200,000. In northern Wisconsin, Gogebic Taconite has been exploring an iron ore project it said would employ about 700 direct mining jobs, 2,800 indirect jobs, 3,000 startup construction jobs and would create a $2 billion economic impact. The proposed mine would be based in Iron and Ashland counties. According to the latest figures, Iron County has the fourth-highest jobless rate of any county at 10%, and Ashland County has the six-highest rate at 9%. Republicans promised we would focus on jobs in the real world, and I expect this to be a step in the right direction, said Fitzgerald. This is just the first step in a much wider jobs agenda. We will be rolling out new job creation ideas in the coming weeks to help startup businesses find venture capital, cut red tape and reform the states bureaucracy, support emerging industries like biotechnology, and consider new proposals from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.

Public lands bill good for hunters, anglers
LANDMARK legislation that would prevent the federal government from locking hunters and anglers out of more than 440 million acres of public lands has come to life in the U.S. House of Representatives. HR 2834 is being called a critical bill for the future of these outdoor sports because it would stop the rising animal rights lobby in its attempt to stop hunting on some public lands where hunting has traditionally occurred. The Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act was introduced earlier this month by Reps. Dan Benishek (R-Mich.) and Dan Boren (DOkla.). The bill has co-sponsors and other supporters. Pushed by the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance (USSA) for more than a decade, the measure highlights the fact that hunting, fishing and recreational shooting occurs on federal public lands and waters without adverse impacts or effects on other uses or users. It also recognizes that hunters (trappers included), anglers and shooters have been the foremost supporters and funders of sound fish and wildlife management in the United States conservation at its best. The new bill will include lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, including lands designated wilderness or

administratively classified as primitive or semi-primitive areas. The scribbler is also hopeful of another potential twist that would be good news for hunters, and that is the bills impact on forest management activities. My theory goes like this: The Forest Service, in revising future management plans, cant ignore a federal law that says they must encourage the use of and access to federal public lands and waters for fishing, hunting and recreational shooting. That being the case, it would stand to reason that managers would have to schedule timber and stream management activities that complement fishing and hunting. The bill would give land managers more reason than ever to regenerate aspen, jack pine and other young successional forest types that are critical to ruffed grouse, American woodcock, snowshoe hare, deer and many songbirds. The latest plan revision for the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest saw the Forest Service moving away from young forests and more
toward old-growth forests, which is counterproductive to the habitat needed by many game animals. Going forward, all management plans would include provisions for those popular practices, said Bill Horn, former assistant secretary of Interior and USSAs director of federal affairs. This bill will provide needed protection for years to come. The latest bills wording follows the 1997 National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act, and it excludes the national parks and wildlife refuges that are governed by that act. The 1997 legislation designated fishing and hunting as priority public uses on refuge lands. Joining the Ohio-based USSA in championing HR 2834 are the American Sportfishing Association, National Rifle Association, Safari Club International and the Congressional Sportsmen Foundation. I admire the work of USSA, a watchdog organization that provides direct lobbying and grassroots coalition support to advance the rights of hunters, trappers, anglers and scientific wildlife management professionals. According to Horn, the USSA is the only organization exclusively devoted to combating the attacks made on Americas sportsman traditions by anti-hunting and animal rights extremists. You can find

out more by going to www.ussportsmen.org. Wisconsin has 1.5 million acres of national forest that needs to be designated, by law, as a place where hunters, trappers and anglers are always welcome. The majority of people who hunt and trap dont own forestland and, therefore depend on federal, state and county lands for their outdoor recreation. Antihunters know this fact, and they know they can hurt the sport of
hunting by eliminating hunter access to federal lands. Its important to the future of northern Wisconsins tourism industry that these sportsmen and women have access to all public forests, including federal lands. Hunting and fishing are the reasons many people spend time here, and pursuit of those passions often leads to the purchase of seasonal homes and, quite often, retirement in this area.
DNR plans two meetings on beaver plan

Trappers, anglers, wildlife watchers and public works managers have a chance to review Wisconsins current beaver management plan and provide input in updating that plan at a series of open house-style meetings across the state in September. This is an effort to gather information and public comments as we work to update Wisconsins beaver management plan, said John Olson, furbearer ecologist for the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The meetings are expected to attract those concerned about both outdoor recreation and industry, including beaver trappers, hunters, trout anglers, foresters and farmers. We want to hear how citizens view beaver, beaver management and those issues and concerns important to them involving beaver, such as damage control, wild rice management, wetland ecosystems, water quality, trout, roads, disease, forest impacts and agriculture, said Olson. Open houses will begin at 6:30 p.m. with short presentations beginning at 7 p.m. on the current beaver management plan, beaver populations and trends, and beaver impacts on environments and humans. Following the presentations there will be an opportunities to question biologists, researchers and managers. Attendees will also be asked to complete a short survey regarding beaver management in Wisconsin. The open house meetings will be held: Sept. 28, Rhinelander, Oneida County UW-Extension, 3375 Airport Road, #10, lower level; Sept. 29, Hayward, Sawyer County UW-Extension, Courthouse, 10610 Main St., Suite 194. In addition to the open houses, a webinar, which is a conference viewable on a computer linked to the Internet, on the beaver management plan update is also scheduled for Oct. 22, beginning at 2 p.m. People with Internet access will be able to log onto the webinar through tinyurl.com/wibeaver.
Fishing with the Guides

By George Langley
Walleye, muskie fishing turning to fall patterns

We are in full fall swing from a fishing standpoint and it is great out there. The main species targeted out there at this time of year are walleye and muskie. With the decline in the water temperatures, both of these fish are in feeding mode and providing good action for anglers. When you combine that action with the beauty of the fall colors, it is a magnificent time to be outdoors in the North Woods. The lakes still need significant rainfall, so the landings on some lakes are a little bit iffy. Weeds are dying off at a fast rate now, so fish the deeper weeds for more success, as the shallow weeds die off first. Walleye action has been good to very good throughout the area for most anglers. The Chain has been producing action in both the holes and in the deeper weeds this week. The walleyes are starting to congregate in the holes, so they become easier to find at this time. Fish them with jigs and fathead minnows on the drop-off edges of these holes. The weed fish are definitely in the deeper parts of the weed areas and also being caught on minnows. Anglers can slip-bobber these areas with good results. On the deeper, clear lakes, we are now getting absolutely great action in drop-off and deeper water areas. The operative depths to fish are anywhere from about 18 to 30 feet of water. Jigs with either redtail chubs or large fathead minnows are best for this time period. These area have one thing in common they are hard-bottom areas on the lakes. The best part of this time of year is that you can get this great action during the daytime. You dont have to wait until the evening for it. Muskie action is good at this time of year, with live sucker fishing becoming the favorite of most muskie fishermen. As the fall goes on and the water temperatures decline further, anglers will be using even larger suckers in the search for those fish of a lifetime. The fish will move daily during feeding windows up into shallower areas from the deep water. This weed edge fishing can be the best of the year. The main thing about post-turnover fishing is that these fish can be anywhere from shallow water to the deepest part of the lakes, but if you find them, they will hit your presentations. Bass action is slowing a bit now, as both smallmouths and largemouths seem to change their patterns somewhat. The largemouths stay in the weeds, but move deeper and hit large baits. The smallies are changing to minnows for their major feed as the crayfish die off for the year. These fish will even move to weed areas in search of minnows in the fall. Panfish action slows at this time of year, but we still get some perch fishermen hitting the deep weed areas. Minnows work best for these anglers. Most bluegill and crappie anglers just wait for ice fishing now. Itll be a great walleye and muskie week out there. Good luck and good fishin.

Blue-green algae in lakes can be threat to hunting dogs

The estimated 50,000 or more Wisconsin waterfowl hunters whose favorite hunting partner has four legs, a tail, and doesnt mind swimming in cold water may want to take some precautions against their friend coming down with serious illness from ingesting water containing potentially toxic blue-green algae. Working together with dogs is part of a long and rich tradition for many waterfowl hunters, said Kent Van Horn, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) migratory game bird ecologist. Sometimes, care of these furry hunting companions requires extra awareness. While not widespread, potential toxicity from blue-green algae is still a concern for waterfowl hunting dogs. Recent cases included three Wisconsin dog deaths from blue-green algae poisoning reported in 2008, two in 2009 and none in 2010. With about 80,000 waterfowl hunters, Wisconsin has the third-highest number of waterfowl hunters in the country. About 60% of Wisconsin waterfowl hunters use dogs to retrieve their harvested ducks and geese. What is commonly referred to as blue-green algae are cyanobacteria, microscopic organisms that are true bacteria. They are present in all lakes, marshes, ponds and ditches across Wisconsin, but live unrecognized except for when the right conditions develop and the cyanobacteria grow quickly, creating blooms across the water surface that look like paint, thick scum or pea soup. When blooms occur, cyanobacteria can release toxins that can cause illness and even death in many animals ingesting them, including dogs and humans. While blooms of blue-green algae occur most frequently in summer, blooms have been observed in Wisconsin in fall and winter. During the fall waterfowl hunting season, toxic bloom conditions can develop on warm fall days or on lakes that are in fall turnover. Cyanobacteria bloom densities can develop in surface waters with high concentrations of nutrients, particularly phosphorus. Blooms tend to grow when there is a lot of sunlight, the temperature is warm, the water is shallow and there is little wind. Sometimes when the wind kicks up, blue-green algae will pile up on the windward side of the lake. Hunters should be on the lookout for the following conditions in the field: a green pea soup appearance, surface water blooms that are green, blue, red or brown in color, or foamy scum layers, mats or blobs. Hunters should adhere to the following advice of the Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association to help protect their dogs health: Provide a good supply of clean fresh water for your dog to drink while hunting. Dont let dogs submerge themselves in water that has a bloom. If a dog does get in water with a bloom, wash the dog thoroughly before it starts to groom or lick itself. Be sure to wear gloves when washing a dog and avoid direct contact with any algae present. After potential exposure, watch the dog for signs of lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea or even seizures. If the animal shows any of these symptoms, contact a veterinarian immediately. More information on bluegreen algae in Wisconsin can be found on the Blue-Green Algae In Wisconsin Waters page of the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.

Hunters reminded to submit black bear rib bones for study

Successful black bear hunters are reminded that state wildlife researchers are asking them to provide scientists with a section of rib bone from their bear for analysis as part of an ongoing black bear population estimation survey. This most recent three-year project to develop a second Wisconsin bear population estimate is based upon a mark-recapture technique. The first estimate was initiated in 2006 and completed in 2008 as part of a cooperative research effort between the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), UW-Madison and the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association. This second mark-recapture estimate will estimate the size of the bear population across its primary range in the northern and central parts of the state. The first phase of the current project, the marking phase, has been completed. Results of a similar survey were reported in 2008. This second round of sample collection is being done to support and verify the findings of the first study, which showed Wisconsins black bear population to be larger than previous surveys, using different techniques, had suggested. Marking bears A primary component of this phase was the deployment of food baits in April and May, said DNR bear researcher Dave MacFarland. The baits consisted of peanut butter and marshmallows mixed with tetracycline, a compound that is detectable in bone tissue. These baits were placed in wooden boxes that were constructed and donated by the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association. More than 600 volunteers and DNR staff deployed and monitored 3,317 baits across 32 counties this spring, 940 of which were consumed by bears. Each consumed bait results in a marked bear as the tetracycline leaves a telltale ring visible in a cross section of the rib bone. The population estimation project is now entering the critical second phase, the collection of rib samples from successful bear hunters. Ribs will be analyzed to look for tetracycline exposure. The resulting data will be incorporated into population models to estimate the number of bears in the state. Good participation from hunters is critical to the studies success, according to MacFarland. Sample collection materials and instructions were provided to hunters who received Class A bear permits. Rib samples should be collected near the vertebrae, cleaned of all soft tissue, placed in the baggie provided and submitted to the registration station.

Pines hockey alumni donate another $6,000

Northland Pines hockey alumni recently donated $6,000 to the Eagle River Recreation Association (ERRA) for a long overdue facilities improvement. We have earmarked these monies to replace and update the heaters in rink two, affectionately tabbed the Cube, said alumni representative Al Geiger. The ERRA board of directors has already approved the purchase of six new heaters with the donation and are awaiting their arrival in October for installation. I am amazed each year with the commitment from our alumni and their willingness to come back and spend a day at the Dome. It is great to see old teammates and coaches get together year after year in support of the ERRA and high school programs, said Geiger, referring to the annual alumni 3-on-3 tourney. The long-term plan is to raise the entire east side of the spectator area in the Cube and install aluminum bleachers along the whole side, increasing the seating capacity and viewing for the fans. This next phase will be done over time and is estimated to cost around $100,000, according to David Cox, Pines alumnus and current ERRA board member. We are definitely looking at the future of our association and the facility needs. We have recently purchased and installed new boards for the skaters and their safety last fall, said Cox. The ERRA will be replacing its 1974 Zamboni and refurbishing the 1997 Zamboni this season. During the spring and fall, we have descaled the cooling towers and upgraded several areas of our compressor system, said Cox. We have been very aggressive in the past two years focusing on our facilities. As a board, along with the alumni, we felt the heaters would provide an immediate improvement for our fans and families that spend numerous hours in the Cube. Tom Obrodovich, former coach and Pines alumni representative, said the alumni have been big supporters of the ERRA over the past 10-plus years. We are extremely proud to help improve the rink that has given all of us so many memories and give back to the future youth of our community, said Obrodovich. We are not done by any means and plan To ALUMNI, Pg. 15A

Peshtigo takes Three Lakes invite

Lady Jays finish fourth, Pines fifth
A cool, overcast fall day greeted 127 runners as they traveled to Sugar Camp for the 11th annual Three Lakes Cross-Country Invitational. A total of eight teams participated in the meet, which begins and ends in the Sugar Camp town park. The majority of the 4,000- and 5,000-meter runs took place on private property just off Camp Four Road. We are very fortunate to be able to offer the runners a traditional-style cross-country course, said Three Lakes coach Laurie Levandoski. The race winds through both open fields and scenic wooded stretches. The Bluejays girls finished fourth in the meet with 134 points, coming in behind firstplace Peshtigo with 34 points. In second with 55 points was Rhinelander, followed by Laona-Wabeno, who took third with 55 points after a tiebreaker. Three Lakes edged out Northland Pines, who finished fifth with 135 points. Florence, Lakeland and Crandon finished in sixth, seventh and eighth places, with scores of 159, 176 and 205, respectively. Anna Madsen, a freshman from Peshtigo, was the overall girls winner with a time of 15 minutes, 29 seconds. On the boys side, Brandon Barrette, a Peshtigo senior, took first in 17:13. Caitlin Vreeland-Griffin was the first Three Lakes runner to cross the line for the girls, finishing 17th in 18:01. She was followed by teammate Indi Yeager, who finished 20th with a time of 18:15. Both Caitlin and Indi did a nice job of trying to stick together during the race, said Levandoski. This is especially important as teammate Natalie Miller is injured and unable
Eagles top Hodags to maintain second in GNC boys soccer

A 2-0 defeat of the Rhinelander Hodags last week solidified Northland Pines second-place standing in Great Northern Conference (GNC) boys soccer. Northland Pines avenged an earlier home field 3-1 loss Aug. 30 to Rhinelander with the road win. This time, the Eagles started strong with 12 first half-shots, but the score was tied 0-0 at halftime. It was Rhinelander that came out strong in the second half with solid midfield play for about 15 minutes, but a Jacob Bozic to Chris Paez to Trevor Laszczkowski combination got the Eagles on the board midway through the second half. Down 1-0, the Hodags used a more offensive formation to try to tie the game, leaving their defense more susceptible. This allowed Bozic to get behind the Hodag defenders and make a nice crossing pass to Leif Offerdahl out in front of the goal. Offerdahl pulled one move on his defender, then found the net to give Pines the 2-0 lead. The Eagles held on from there to get the win, with goalkeeper Evan Hartwig making five saves for the afternoon. Despite having two of their captains out with injury, Rhinelander played hard and played well, said Pines coach Larry Favorite. They are well coached so that no matter who they have on the field, you know their kids will be in the right places and hustling to get a win. I was happy for our guys to get this win, as Rhinelander just recently took league-leading Mosinee into overtime before they lost. On Saturday, the Eagles opened a home double-duel with a 4-1 win against Iron Mountain, Mich. A Bozic-toLaszczkowski through ball gave the Eagles a 1-0 halftime lead. From there, Pines played a solid second half with goals by Bozic, Matt Meyer and Laszczkowski. With the lead we had, we got all of our players into the game and were able to rest some guys who have been somewhat sick from colds and such, said Favorite. For whatever reason, all of our regular defenders were not feeling well or dealing with minor injuries at some point this week, but Scott (Moline), Alex (Camp), Steven (Vogel), and Greg (Chamberlain) did what they could to get the job done. Jacob Tosh also gave us some good minutes today. Game two of the day pitted the Eagles against Ashland, which is likely one of the top 10 teams in Division 2 soccer in Wisconsin. Despite both teams getting off to a slow start, Pines took a 1-0 halftime lead. Once again, it was a Bozic-to-Laszczkowski combination for the Eagles score. Trevor has really been playing well lately, and his fellow forward Bozic is starting to see the field much better with some key assists in the last several games, said Favorite. But the wheels fell off the bus so to speak for Pines in the second half. Ashland scored two goals in 11 minutes to start the second half, then scored twice more to defeat the Eagles 4-1. Those four goals were scored by four different players, as Ashland got their A game going while Pines reverted back to a kickand-chase game, according to Favorite. While were having a good season to date, we have found that a consistent theme in our To EAGLES, Pg. 14A

to run right now. Jena Miles finished 26th in 18:49, followed by Sonya Westfall, who was 33rd in 19:31. Peyton Radaj and Brooke Welch finished in 48th and 50th places with times of 20:34 and 20:49, respectively. Injury and illness definitely took a toll on the Bluejays this week, said Levandoski. Our small team size really shows when we dont have all seven girls running at their potential. On the boys side, Rhinelander took first with 20 points. The second-place trophy went to Peshtigo with 75 points. Florence was third with 110 points, followed by Lakeland with 114 points and Northland Pines with 116 points. Goodman and Crandon rounded out the team scoring with 133 and 139 points, respectively. The Bluejays will travel to Athens Thursday, Sept. 29, for a meet at 5 p.m. Northland Pines will host its invitational meet Monday, Oct. 3, at 4 p.m.

The Three Lakes Bluejays soccer team went into double overtime with Phillips last Thursday for a 0-0 tie before falling to a tough BayfieldWashburn team 3-0 Saturday night. Against Phillips, both teams had opportunities to win, and great defensive efforts on either side of the field thwarted offensive attempts. Three Lakes goalkeeper Ross Thorn used his intimidating 6-foot, 8-inch, stature to stop some good shots from the Loggers. Were growing together as a team, said Three Lakes coach Jack Wales. Were continually improving in all aspects of the game. Hopefully, this effort against Phillips will propel us through the rest of the season. Coach Wales added that the team is playing more consistently. With only a couple of weeks before regionals, the Jays are headed in the right direction. The only bad part in the game is that the Jays lost
their best defensive player, Trenten Stefonek, to a head injury in the second half, said Wales. He didnt return. Traveling to face BayfieldWashburn, who are undefeated in their conference, the Jays played hard but came up short. Three Lakes passed and moved the ball well, but trying to shut Bayfield-Washburn down without Stefonek on defense proved a daunting task. Even without a key defenseman, the Jays defense rose to the challenge and played well, according to Wales. They have the leading scorer in conference and Bluejay defender, Josh Boschke, did a great job on him, said Wales. The team as a whole played well. Even though they lost, they gained a lot of confidence and feel they can play with almost anyone. Three Lakes will travel to Phelps Tuesday, Sept. 27, before playing a game at Antigo Saturday, Oct. 1.

Austin Ramesh rushed for a school record 441 yards on 39 carries as Northland Pines defeated Ironwood, Mich., 3915, in a WestPAC game at Eagle River Friday night. It was a great Homecoming victory, said Pines coach Jason Foster. We dominated the line of scrimmage and had a complete game from both our offense and our defense. The Eagles rushed for 564 yards on 56 carries. Ramesh ran for four touchdowns and Alex Kornely added two rushing touchdowns. It was an incredible effort by our line, said Foster. Ramesh broke the school record for single game rushing yards with 441. Neither team scored in the first quarter, but Ramesh scored on 38- and 41-yard touchdown runs in the second quarter, the second coming following an interception by Pines defensive back Cody Holewinski. Rich Mork made one of two PATs to give Pines a 13-0 lead. Ironwood overcame two offensive holding penalties on the Red Devils next series and finally scored on a 3-yard touchdown run by Adam Mackey. The big play on the drive was a 33-yard pass from Mackey to Connor Wilson. The half ended with Pines on top 13-7. Pines took a 19-7 lead with 4:39 remaining in the third
quarter on a 10-yard touchdown run by Ramesh. The Eagles held Ironwood on their next series and put together another scoring drive capped off by an 11-yard run by Ramesh to make it 26-7 following Morks kick. Pines put the game away with a 1-yard touchdown run by Kornely and Morks kick, set up by a Johnny Schwenn interception and return back to the 50-yard line. Kornely finished with 58 yards on five carries. Mork contributed 66 yards on nine carries. Ironwood got its second score of the game on a 90-yard touchdown return on the kickoff and 2-point conversion. Following an Ironwood onside kick attempt recovered by the Eagles T.J. Harsla, Kornely ran up the middle for a 43-yard touchdown run to make the final 39-15. Foster said his defense played as well as the offense. Defensively, we only gave up one touchdown and did a very nice job of stopping Ironwoods dangerous option attack, said Foster. Lucas Ferber once again had an outstanding game at linebacker and our secondary came up with three big interceptions. Ferber finished with five solo tackles and 13 assists. Tanner Perry, Holewinski and Schwenn each had an interception.
The Three Lakes High School volleyball team defeated Elcho 3-2 last Tuesday, but went on to lose 3-1 to Pembine Thursday in two Northern Lakes Conference (NLC) matches. Against Elcho, Anderson said the Lady Jays were able to work together effectively as a team. The girls finally came together and played like a real team this time, she said. It was an exciting evening, however, were still having serving issues that we need to get a handle on. The win was a confidence booster for Three Lakes, but the girls still suffered a disappointing loss to Pembine, said the coach. I feel this was a huge letdown from Tuesday and the
girls just did not play their best ball that night, said Anderson. The Lady Jays fared well at a tournament that Saturday, defeating Butternut and Bruce, but losing to Chequamegon and Ladysmith. We played for the third place in the losers bracket, said Three Lakes coach Roni Anderson. We actually played really well against the last two teams, but they were more our type of teams and we could compete with them. Ladysmith was amazing and they were out of our league. The Lady Jays are scheduled to host Wabeno Thursday, Sept. 29, at 6 p.m. The girls will also host the Phelps Knights Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 6 p.m.

Although the Three Lakes Bluejays were stout defensively, they still fell 18-6 to Elcho-White Lake in a Northern Lakes Conference (NLC) football heartbreaker last Friday night. The Jays defense only gave up a single score during the game. The other two scores were off interceptions late in the game and were returned for touchdowns. Ben Wales and Riley Liebscher of Three Lakes had strong games in the wide receiver positions, while Dalton Tietsort made an effective running back. Dalton is actually the fourth running back weve
used this year, said Three Lakes coach Brian Fritz. All week we prepared a game plan using our senior Trenten Stefonek at running back. Stefonek was injured Thursday night in a soccer match and will probably miss the rest of the season, according to Fritz. That makes four Bluejays starters that wont finish the season. Ive never had that happen in five years of coaching, said Fritz. Emerson Hegeman had another effective game as a lineman. He really is a menace on the defensive line and our best performer on the offensive line, said Fritz. Hegeman had several plays in the offensive backfield.
Brent LaDuke threw several interceptions, but most were caused by enormous pressure from the Elcho-White Lake rush. In the third quarter, LaDuke scrambled and threw on the run for a completion to Riley Liebscher. Riley made an adjustment to the scramble and caught the pass right in front of a defender, then took the ball 30 yards for the score, said Fritz. Liebscher finished the game with three catches for 60 yards. Ben Wales, who nearly broke for a couple of long runs, finished with four catches for 95 yards. Three Lakes will travel to Wabeno for an NLC game against Laona-Wabeno Friday, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m.

losses is that the guys lose patience and almost panic when things arent going well, said Favorite. Instead of sticking with what has made us successful in our 12 wins, we try to go for quick scores but dont support our offense, which then allows an easier counter attack by our opponent. This is something we will work to improve on, as all of our final games this season should be nail-biters. Pines record is now 5-2 in the GNC and 12-4-1 overall, with the only game this week a Thursday, Sept. 29, match at GNC foe Medford. While Medfords record is only 3-4 in the GNC, five of those games have been decided by one goal. The game will start at 5 p.m. at Medford. We need to play a solid game with no breakdowns if we want to beat Medford again, said Favorite.

to continue to be a strong partner alongside our future skaters. Our last major fundraising undertaking was the locker room project that was dreamed, built and completed in about a six-year period. We are excited to kick off this next phase of improvements. There are presently 11 lockers left for sponsorship in the Pines locker room. Anyone interested in a sponsorship can call either Geiger, Cox or Obrodovich for more information. We have big goals and dreams for the Cube and the Dome in the next 10 years, said Cox. The late Orrin Mangseth, an old coach to many of us, said it best, Dreams never die, only dreamers. We are dreaming big because we have a tradition of making the impossible possible in Eagle River.

Pines netters finish fourth at own tourney

The Northland Pines volleyball team placed fourth out of eight teams in the Eagle Invitational Saturday. Wabeno won the tournament with a perfect 4-0 record. Wausaukee was second and Crandon finished third. Other teams were LAnse, Ontonogan, Coleman and Menominee Indian. Pines opened the tournament against Coleman, winning a come-from-behind game 25-21 and then taking game two 25-17. We came right out of the gates with a win, said Pines coach Margo Rogers Anderson. I was very proud of the girls. It was a good win. Carly Bohnen had seven service aces and eight kills, Abby Alft finished with five kills and Ellie Zyhowski had 11 kill assists. The Eagles phased eventual champion Wabeno in game two, losing 25-10 and 25-18. I thought the team we had just beaten (Coleman) was better than Wabeno, said Rogers Anderson. They played steady,
but nothing special. It was a loss we shouldnt have had. Bohnen led the Eagles with nine kills and nine digs, Alft had 12 digs, Paige Healy had five digs and Kelsey Bergum four digs. The Eagles finished pool play with two easy wins over Ontonagon 25-10 and 25-14. Because Ontonagon was playing some junior varsity players, the Eagles were able to try some things on offense. It was fun to be able to try different players in different positions and have a little fun attempting different types of sets and offensive plays, said Rogers Anderson. Some of the players even tried out their jump serving skills. Zyhowski had three service aces, Nicole Sullivan finished with six kills and Bergum had seven digs. Pines then played Cranson in the third-place match. The Eagles won game one 25-21, but Crandon took game two 2520 and the deciding game four 15-12. We played well as a team for the first game and a half and then it was as if the whole week of Homecoming festivities caught up with us all at
one time. We just ran out of steam, said Rogers Anderson. Crandon was our first loss at the beginning of the season and I thought we were going to get one back on them. We played well as a team in the last few points again, but it was too late. The coach said she saw some good things on the day. Over all, we probably should have won all four matches, but I have to say that I am pleased with the progress we are making, said Rogers Anderson. The Eagles also hosted Medford last Tuesday in a Great Northern Conference (GNC) match. The Raiders won all three games, 25-10, 25-16 and 25-14. We were missing one of our starters, Nicole Sullivan, who was out with a cold, said Rogers Anderson. It was a tough night for NPHS volleyball. Pines, 7-13 overall on the season, was scheduled to host Rhinelander Tuesday of this week in a GNC game. The Eagles will travel to West Iron County in Iron River, Mich., this Thursday, Sept. 29, for a nonconference triangular.

United we can survive; divided we will decline

ITS HARD to be optimistic about a compromise coming out of Washington in the coming months regarding the federal deficit plan, or a recovery jobs plan to jump-start the economy. Our government is hopelessly divided. Any proposals will be the work of smoke and mirrors. The 12-member super committees recommendations will be trivialized and summarily rejected by a stubborn partisan congress and white house. Why so much pessimism? The two parties have already started the 2012 election process. That is bad news for all Americans. As a result, the people have a gloomy outlook. They are pessimistic: 80% feel we are already in part 2 of the Great Recession. Sixty percent say it wont get better for at least another year. Only 39% give President Barack Obama a passing grade. Less than 20% give Congress a vote of confidence. Last week at the Clinton Global Initiative, former President Bill Clinton said the American dream has been under attack for 30 years. Heres why: the explosion of new technology (which has wiped out 15 million middleclass jobs) and the growth of the global economy (which has driven 10 million manufacturing jobs offshore). Clinton said the current economic crisis is part of a

natural cycle. Deep recessions like this one can take at least five years to run its course. We may have another two or three years to work through this one, based around the housing bubble burst, the stock market crash, the debt crisis, the entitlement and unfunded pension system scare, the health-care crisis and the jobs recession. Were America. Cant we solve these problems? Our government is at a stalemate. The problems are so big, and have been growing for so long, traditional solutions have not worked. Partisanship has led to acrimony and paralysis. Compromise for the better good has been rejected. Republicans, held hostage by the Tea Party, are absolutely refusing to consider any tax increases as part of any deficit or jobs bill. They argue now is not the time to raise taxes and say tax hikes will discourage job creators. They point out the top 10% of earners already pay 70% of all income taxes, according to the IRS. The top 1%, the millionaires and billionaires, pay 31% of the taxes. The richest 400 Americans are worth about $1.4 trillion. If the government took all of that money, it would barely cover this years federal budget deficit. The IRS says the average worker pays less than 14% of earnings to the federal government, and that almost 50% of earners pay no federal income taxes. Take away the top 400 wealthiest Americans and the remaining households hold about $54 trillion of assets. Democrats are equally stubborn. President Obama insists on getting about half of the $3 trillion in deficit savings ($1.5 trillion) from tax increases over 10 years from wealthy Americans and from corporations. He is also counting cuts in war costs as savings. Even with the deficit plans he has proposed, $6 trillion will be added to the national debt over the coming 10 year, assuming best-case scenario. Senior Americans, represented by the politically powerful AARP, have told members of both parties Dont you dare touch our entitlements: Social Security, Medicare and

Approval of bicycle trail plan good news for Vilas tourism
The Vilas County Board of Supervisors gave its blessing recently to a master plan for establishing bicycle trails that would someday link Eagle River and Three Lakes to Land O Lakes, Conover, Phelps, St. Germain and beyond. The catalyst for the progress comes from the Vilas Area Silent Sports Association (VASSA). Key players in the planning process include the county Forestry, Recreation and Land Department along with North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. Approval from the county board clears the way more than ever for the Vilas County Forestry Department and its trail coordinator, Dale Mayo, to continue bringing key parties together on proposed routes, grant applications and a systemized approach toward interconnected trails. Planners are working in the development stages on what they call the Great Wisconsin Headwaters Trail System a system that will keep bikers, joggers and pedestrians off busy highways. Many of the trails will be designed with snowmobile use in mind, as snowmobile clubs have already established systems across state and county land that could serve cyclists. The most recent grant application successes involve a new trail that will run from Conover toward Phelps, and a new segment to the Three Eagle Trail that will extend south from the Railroad Depot in Eagle River to a picnic area on private property near the end of Section 9 Road. We believe it is great news for the future of northern Wisconsins tourism industry that farsighted individuals are working to establish interconnected trails between communities. The latest University of Wisconsin (UW) study estimated that bicyclings annual statewide economic benefit exceeded $924 million $533 million of that in direct consumer spending And with Wisconsins robust bicycle manufacturing, sales and service industries, cycling generates more than $1.5 billion in total economic impact each year, says the UW report.

It might be time for the Baby Boom generation to step up and Save the World much like the Greatest Generation did during World War II. Baby boomers need to stop criminals from defrauding the Medicare and Medicaid programs. They can save these programs hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 10 years by reporting fraud when they see it. Either Americans unite and prevail in the coming few years or, if they remain divided, the systems in place will continue to deteriorate and they will not survive to benefit those who truly need them. Adding to our misery, European countries are facing their own debt crisis. The United States is in such bad shape, we cant do much to bail them out. What countries are willing to save them when it is unlikely their loans will ever be paid back? And, thats at record low interest rates. We have a jobs recession.

The dream of an incipient snob

IF I COULD have three wishes, Id use one to wish for a valet. My clothes are in such disarray that Ive either got to throw them all away and start over or stop everything else Im doing and spend three days straightening them out and having them fixed, cleaned and pressed. My standards of dress have deteriorated and I ought to do something before I become a real slob. Presumably, my clothes are of no great interest to you, but let me tell you about them in the off chance you have some of the same problems. Shoes: Since my feet stabilized at 81/2 EEE years ago, I havent thrown away a pair of shoes. I hesitate to guess how many pairs I have, including old sneakers, loafers and slippers. Throwing away a pair of shoes that are still whole never occurs to me, even though I havent worn some of them in 15 years. A valet would shine the leather ones and weed out the ones that dont fit or are out of date. Socks: I buy my socks at a place that sells seconds of very good brands. Because Im so impressed with all the money Im saving when I buy a pair of imperfect socks for half price, I have a great many. A valet would carefully hand-wash my hose, a word I never use. He would do them gently according to the instructions on the label when I bought them. He would use lukewarm water and soap without bleach. Being washed according to instructions is a luxury my socks have never enjoyed. Most of all, though, my man would make sure they came back to me two by two. My socks suffer a greater divorce rate than the marriages performed in Las Vegas. Pants: There must be almost as many pairs of To ROONEY, Pg. 17A
Tax rates increased in 2011, but dropping levies mean relief

As we reported last week, property tax rates for taxes payable in 2011 are on the rise in most municipalities for the third straight year because government spending is rising at a faster pace than the tax base. But that doesnt mean there wont be relief. The most significant loss in the tax base formula comes in the area of new construction, which has more potential than any other factor for increasing or lowering the individual tax burden being faced by property owners. New construction means new tax dollars unlike inflationary increases that can affect the rate without providing any tax relief. Thats not to say taxpayers wont find some relief on their December bills, but it wont be due to new construction or the latest report. Area schools were forced to make substantial cuts in their tax levies under the new state budget, and theres nothing more instant for tax relief than lowering levies.

Theres only one thing to think about

IF IT SEEMS like all I think and write about in September and October is duck hunting and ducks, thats because, well, that pretty much is all I think and write about during these two glorious months of fall. Last weekend was the opening of another duck season and, yes, I was out there for the opening bell again, though that is not the most important thing here. It was important that I spent part of it with Nate, my new young hunting partner. We were sitting in a blind on one of my favorite lakes north of Star Lake well before the appointed opening morning hour of nine, and I can report that between the hours of eight and nine things looked good.

Moline just practicing golden rule capitalism

Dear Editor: A couple of years ago, there was a back page editorial in Deckers Sno-Venture Tours magazine. The title of it was Doing Unto Others. The concept was if you follow the golden rule in your business by taking good care of your clients, you will have success. Im wondering why Mr. Decker is asking Pete Moline to grossly violate the concepts outlined in Doing Unto Others by ignoring the wishes of his clients to have a quiet and serene place to stay. In reality, Mr. Molines clients are his neighbors because they are renting his cabins. Mr. Moline is giving the services his clients request, a quiet place on Mr. Molines own land to retreat from the chaos and daily grind of life. Mr. Moline treats them well and in return he is receiving repeat business. That sounds like balanced, golden rule capitalism being worked out by a businessman with integrity. If we believe in golden rule capitalism, why have business owners been silent all these years in regard to private landowners being compensated for allowing the snowmobile trails to go through their property so local businesses could be profitable? Tens of thousands of people buying Derby tickets, going to restaurants and hotels year after year isnt chump change. For some property owners who may be retired or out of To SILENT SPORTS, Pg. 18A

they disappeared behind a big balsam tree and, seconds later, clean misses were confirmed as they emerged from behind the tree, beating a beeline away from this chastised hunter. Nate had to honor other commitments that afternoon, so after one half of the Badger football game was safely in the books, I headed back out on my own. To a different lake this time, I slid my canoe into its hiding place along a bog shore and settled into a blind just as the ducks began to fly in earnest. It is the reporters job to report that two drake wood ducks went home with the hunter that evening and, though this reporter could spell out in intricate detail the moments of success, it really isnt important to do so.

Private sector creates the wealth

Dear Editor: After a two-week vacation in Marthas Vineyard, President Obama made his jobs speech Thursday night. I was hoping for something new, but it was more of the same. His broken promises and failed policies to date include: less than 8% unemployment after the first stimulus, transparency, closing Gitmo, inflation, ethanol, $4 trillion increased deficit, stifling regulation, immigration reform, securing borders, housing initiatives ($1.2 trillion wasted to date), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, bringing us together, energy independence, fixing Social Security and Medicare. The list goes on and on. So he proposes more of the same. He cannot understand (maybe because he never had a real job) that it is the private sector that creates wealth. The government can only redistribute it after taking a cut. The speech was one of his continuous campaign speeches. He is trying to place blame on others for his failures and appease his favorite specialinterest groups. He will use the speech to set the blaming up. He said we will find out in two weeks how we will pay for it, but wants it passed now. The committee of 12 congressmen is to find a way to cut spending by $1.5 trillion. Does anyone think it will happen? Now the president wants to add another $0.5 trillion in spending. Is this Disneyland? His proposal extends and increases the reduction in Social Security taxes. Is this how he will fix Social Security? It is already underfunded. Rep. Ryan To WEALTH, Pg. 18A ernment employees will have that benefit and taxpayers wont want to continue that benefit when they dont have it themselves. Expect the unexpected. If our leaders in politics continue to shirk their obligations and duties to the public and only represent the powerful lobbying interests in Washington and state capitols, we will see life as we know it continue to crumble. Our leaders must put partisan politics aside and join together to right the ship. The same goes with the American people. The world has changed since 2000 and there is no going back to the 1990s. We celebrate the benefits of new technology, the global market place, cheap credit and freedom, but they also come with a steep price. Its a new world. Will we unite and endure or remain divided and muddle on?
a youth hunt, it was about watching a new hunter get his feet wet, figuratively speaking. It was about seeing, almost as if in a mirror, the shine in a young hunters eyes get brighter and brighter, whether ducks were flying or not. It was about going through rituals I have gone through for years, among them the lastminute gathering of gear that should have been found and readied weeks earlier. It was rising before dawn, shaking the cobwebs out and feeling the excitement grow on the drive through the inky darkness of predawn. It was the familiar thrill of pulling the canoe from the truck, settling it into a treasured ducking lake and listening to the sounds of a ducks world as night turned to day. Once the opening hour arrived, it was the old anticipation that every duck hunter treasures as the wait begins for the first birds to come to decoys and call. And when they dont come, it becomes the age-old game of contriving ways of making them show up,
games like standing up in plain sight to try and look them in, like rustling through a pack sack looking for a sandwich or cookie or even a shotshell that looks luckier than the others or like purposely closing your eyes and daring ducks to sneak up on you. None of that worked Saturday morning, but it was OK. The important thing was that we were there, that we were smelling the good smells of a duck marsh, that our blood was stirred as only being in duck country can stir it. Later that afternoon, as I sat by myself, I lived the joy of having a pair of swans swimming in front of me for fully an hour, then seeing them get up with a regal sweep of wings to fly by me almost at arms length, softly talking to each other as they headed for some new loafing place. As I sat there, in between chances at ducks, idly contemplating the idyllic life of a duck hunter, I leaned back and let memories from days gone by drift pass. There was the day when I sat in the same
blind as a teenager that was just yesterday, wasnt it? when a November wind stung my eyes with snow as flock after flock of bluebills dive-bombed me, all but a couple ducks going on to fly another day. There are other days and places, almost too many to count, yet each indelibly embedded in every last detail in my mind. There have been days of bright sunshine, days with maple trees adorned in a blazing coat of red reflected in still, blue waters of October, days with otter families playing among a spread of decoys and days of Canada geese winging in a tight V high overhead, their sweet music drifting down to appreciative ears and, of course, the ducks, the ducks that I love so much. There is little more I can say about the subject, except that for this time of year to come along and for me to be a part of it, is about as good as it can possibly get. I thank God for making me a duck hunter.

Dont want silent-sports guests disturbed by ATVs

Letter to the Editor: This letter is in response to Dick Decker. It is clear that Dick did not refer to my Letter to the Editor when responding. First, Dick states that if I close the snowmobile trail through my land, that state corridor No. 6 will be closed and businesses will be hurt. As I stated in my letter, The snowmobile trail will continue, just not on my property, and away from my ski trails and my snowshoe trails. Then Dick asks, Where is the concern for fellow businesses or his community? As stated in my letter, I have received many complaints from our guests about the snowmobile noise over the years. The only reason I have left it open is because much of the North Woods economy is helped by snowmobiles. Then Dick states that a few all-terrain vehicle (ATV) trails could not cause any loss of business. Catering to only silent-sports guests, I am acutely aware of the level to which they dislike these machines. The average number of years a guest comes back to our resort is around 15 years. Losing a few families could be damaging to my business. My business philosophy is bringing more than 3,000 people to the North Woods economy. In the town of Phelps, no ATV trails are on the proposal. All are routes and almost all are on blacktop. Clearly stated on all ATVs and in all ATV owners manuals, it says, Do not ride on blacktop. Google ATV safety and you will find many consumer safety organizations repeating, Do not ride on blacktop. One way a consumer selects a new car is by looking for a five-star safety rating. According to a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website, 15 of 21 ATV deaths in Wisconsin in 2010, on legal routes or not, were on blacktop. A 12-year-old, who has completed a DNR safety course, (the course is aimed mostly at off-road safety) will be able to ride Phelps blacktop roads, unsupervised, on an ATV with a sticker that reads, Do not ride on blacktop. Phelps has taken an ATV survey recently. The surveys were to be turned in by Monday, Sept. 12. Late in the day on Monday, I was told that most surveys had been counted and were running about 2-1 against ATVs. Later, around the time of the town board meeting, three people turned in stacks of surveys. Once all were tabulated, the final count was 217 against to 309 for ATVs. If the board uses this survey as an accurate tool as to how the people in Phelps feel about ATVs, they should also use road-by-road numbers to determine which roads will be used. keep one pair neat and clean for Saturdays when Im out among people.

Afterglow Lake Resort is located on Sugar Maple Road and is one of the only resorts in the North Woods catering specifically to the silent-sports people. The town board obviously does not understand how silent-sports people feel about ATVs. Our guests use Sugar Maple Road pushing babies in strollers, running, hiking and biking, and so do very many people who live on the road. I was biking to Land O Lakes a short time ago and talked to a Michigan DNR law enforcement officer. I asked him about ATVs traveling north on West Shore Road into Michigan. He pulled out a DNR map showing which roads ATVs were allowed on. The officer pointed out that once ATVs went north on West Shore Road and crossed the line into Michigan, they would be riding illegally. He showed me the legend To GOLDEN RULE, Pg. 18A year, I buy a new sports jacket and, although I travel to work on a train inhabited mostly by salesmen and executives wearing pin-striped suits, I most often wear a sports jacket and gray flannel pants.

Extension of Rural Schools Act urged

The Secure Rural Schools Act has kept many of our culturally rich and historically significant western communities afloat, without having to rely on timber harvests. Its imperative that we continue this program and protect these American communities. Two proposed alternatives to the Secure Rural Schools Act considered last week by the House Natural Resources Committee would do more harm than good. The proposed National Forest County Revenue, Schools and Jobs Act of 2011 and H.R. 2852 the Action Plan for Public Lands and Education Act of 2011 would include granting millions of acres of public lands to states, or increasing timber harvests and mining on currently protected lands or be subject to litigation. The transfer of U.S. Forest Service lands to the states would result in disparate landownership patterns and, as written, would likely remove current recreation opportunities currently available to the public. The diminution of the governments multiple-use mandate in H.R. 2852 fails to address many key uncertainties concerning access, liability and other issues. Atop inviting controversy and litigation, these programs would likely add to the federal deficit. We need to build on the recent successes weve experienced through cooperation and collaboration at the local level efforts that are resulting in forest restoration projects covering hundreds of thousands of acres. These community efforts are occurring across the country and are actually increasing the amount of To SHERMAN, Pg. 18A

Under the act, rural counties receive funding from the federal government for schools, roads and other projects. It is scheduled to expire at the end of September.

Free speech for corporations cost $40 million

Letter to the Editor: The historic Wisconsin recall elections unleashed the power of the recent Supreme Court decision that was incredulously labeled Citizens United. Essentially, free speech for corporations cost $40 million in the nine recall elections (compared to $17.5 million for all 116 legislative races in 2010). Of course, that was the total amount spent in the recall efforts, but specialinterest groups outspent the candidates themselves by a 61 margin. Despite the limited success of the Democrats, corporate power, further enriched by the Citizens United decision, ensured that Republicans in the Senate retained their majority status, and that the Budget Repair Bill went through as planned. It was a demonstration that unlimited campaign contributions can subvert the will of the people. Wisconsin voters attempted to recall six incumbent Republicans because of what was perceived by the electorate as an abuse of power. A recognition made possible when the Wisconsin 14 left the state, denied a quorum and slowed down the process. This delay drew attention to the Republican bait and switch, where they ran for office on a platform of job creation, but once elected, they adopted Scott Walkers radical union-busting bill, which did not create jobs, but did put into place a framework that will result in degradation of wages and benefits for years to come. Some would argue that only public unions were dismantled, and that the taxpayer, not corporate America, has to foot the bill for concessions to public unions. But in a Keynesian twist to Reagans mantra (that a rising tide lifts all ships), unions, be they private or public, provide competition in the workforce, driving up wages and benefits for all. In turn, a living wage, by putting money in the hands of the consumer, creates a stage where small-business owners actually have someone out there who can afford their goods and services. With a page out of Scott Walkers playbook, Ohio Gov. John Kasich took a similar tack in busting public unions. But Ohio Republicans had the luxury of an overwhelming majority, so their Democratic opponents did not have the Wisconsin option of denying a quorum. With no substantial interference, Republicans, shunning debate, rammed through unaware ATVs are not to be ridden on blacktop, or led to believe U.P. riders would be crossing the border on their ATVs and spending money at Phelps businesses? I am not against ATVs in general. They are very useful for working, hunting and recreation. I just do not want my guests being disturbed by them. Pete Moline Afterglow Lake Resort Phelps condemn the president for passing Obamacare in 12 hours, in the middle of the night, when no one knew what was in it?

Last year, 2.6 billion board feet of lumber were produced from national forestlands. The national forests, for more than a century, have been valued by Americans throughout the nation, not only for their wood, mineral, and grazing resources, but also for outdoor recreation, as a place to recharge, for wildlife habitat in a rapidly developing world, as a place to enjoy historic, scenic, and cultural treasures, and for clean water to millions of downstream users. These dynamic values serve the urban public as well as the rural, the national interest as well as interest of individual states. Harris Sherman is the USDA undersecretary for Natural Resources and Environment. SB5, Ohios equivalent to the Budget Repair Bill. This was an act deemed so brazen that the electorate is having a referendum to repeal the entire bill. Judging from the fact that opponents of the bill were able to secure three times the number of petitioners required for the referendum, the bill would appear to be dead in the water. Nevertheless, Citizens United again opened the floodgates for unlimited contributions to oppose the referendum. Coincidentally, efforts to repeal SB5 are projected to cost $40 million, about the same as the Wisconsin recall elections. Forty million here, $40 million there, before you know it we are talking about real money being spent in place of a simple willingness to compromise. Thanks to Citizens United, corporations are people, too, but who is going to sit down in a coffee shop to hash out a compromise with someone of corporate personhood, unless they can afford a $20 million cup of coffee.

Respect for life

What is it saying when we execute a human being for a crime he may or may not have committed? The death penalty has always been controversial because we are dealing with someones life. It becomes even more controversial when there is doubt about the guilt of the person to be executed. When Troy Davis was executed on Sept. 21, there were grave doubts among experts about his innocence. William Sessions, the former federal judge and FBI director, was one such expert. To date, the United States (with the exception of 14 states, including Wisconsin) has executed 1,268 people. Texas ranks the highest in executions with a total of 475. The next highest is 100 in Virginia. In Texas, there have been 10 executions this year with six more scheduled through January 2012. The United States is one of only three industrialized countries that has a death penalty. So what does this say about our penal system and our country? Are we still operating with an archaic eye for an eye mentality? Does taking the life of someone convicted of a serious crime (guilty or perhaps not guilty) have any effect on the crime rate? The answer to that is controversial at best. In an interview with Allen Ault, the former Georgia prison warden, he said, Capital punishment is not about saving lives. Ault signed on to a petition to stop the execution of Troy Davis. His voice, in an interview the night of Troy Davis execution, was filled with pain. He said, You are actually killing somebody.

As the habitat of the monarch butterfly continues to decline, one resident of Eagle River has taken matters into her own hands by raising the insects and tagging them for scientific research. Irene Johnson said although the monarch isnt officially considered an endangered species, the North American butterfly is closely monitored as its numbers continually decrease. The monarchs numbers are really down this year, said Johnson. I saw very few adults compared to other years. A large part of this phenomenon is due to habitat destruction through deforestation as far away as Mexico. Their habitat is being destroyed, said Johnson.

for its migration to Mexico and summer return to Canada which can span the life of three to four monarch generations. Theyre a very special insect, said Johnson. The adults will fly about a third of the way to Mexico and mate. Their offspring then continue the journey. It takes a monarch caterpillar between nine and 14 days to complete its transformation into a butterfly. The caterpillar will shed its skin to reveal a green chrysalis. The chrysalis protects the developing butterfly until its ready to emerge. In wooden frame cages, Johnson guides the monarchs through every stage, eventually tagging and releasing them into the wild. The tags help scientists track the migration patterns of the Monarch. People have to be aware that if they dont do something to help, this is going to be a thing of the past, said Johnson. Its a very special thing to me. A part of the national Monarch Watch program out of the University of Kansas, Johnson grows a milkweed patch for caterpillars to feed on and orders tagging supplies by telephone.

Recital to feature Stevens on piano

Eddie Stevens, a 12-yearold boy from Land O Lakes, will give a free recital along with his teacher, a retired music professor from UWGreen Bay. Stevens will play the piano accompanied by his teacher, who will play his cello. The recital will be held Thursday, Sept. 29, at 6 p.m. and will last about one hour at the Northland Pines High School auditorium in Eagle River. Stevens has performed at Open Mic Nite in Land O Lakes. His musical talent was discovered by the music professor when he stayed at Eddies grandparents resort. Kathy Stevens, Eddies mother, said that once the professor discovered how serious Eddie was about his music, he drove back to Green Bay to get his cello to play with Eddie. Last year, they gave a recital, which was mainly classical, at the resort. For more information, call Shirley Battin at (906) 5442503.

Ministry seeks volunteers for elder program

Ministry Howard Young Health Care has announced the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) will expand to Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital (MERMH). According to organizers, HELP is designed to provide compassionate and evidencedbased care for all individuals 70 or older that focuses on maintenance or enhancement of function, minimization of hospital-associated complications and a smooth transition to home or another setting. Howard Young Medical Center (HYMC) in Woodruff adopted the program earlier this year to improve the hospital experience for older patients and has already witnessed the success of HELP, according to program coordinators. The patients and the volunteers involved in the program at HYMC have found it very rewarding and beneficial, so weve decided to expand the service to Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital, said Becky Demuth, RN, HELP clinical nurse coordinator. HELP is a coordinated model of hospital care with multiple components. A team of providers, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, dietitians, chaplains and trained volunteers are called upon to support patients in the program. The main goal is to prevent delirium or confusion in the hospital setting, which helps reduce length of stay and costs involved with patient care, as well as prevents further complications, added Demuth. The volunteer is at the bedside interacting with the patient which is unique among volunteer opportunities. HELP volunteers are needed. They are a major contributing factor to the success of the model. Volunteers talk with patients and provide companionship and assistance during meals and interactive activities, all of which have therapeutic value in helping patients stay engaged with the world around them. MERMH will hold a training session for those who wish to volunteer with the program. A volunteer training date is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 6, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the MERMH Medical Arts building. For more information or to register, contact Demuth at (715) 356-8305.

Historical re-enactment group to present program Sept. 29-Oct. 1

Historical interpreters will re-enact life during the fur trade era in the Great Lakes region Saturday, Oct. 1, at the exhibit site located on the grounds behind Rocking W Stable, just north of Northland Pines High School in Eagle River. Sponsored by a $25,000 donation from the Forest County Potawatomi Foundation, the event will be offered free to all ages. Exhibit sites will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and free parking is located nearby. A horse-drawn wagon provided by Dean Nolan will shuttle people from the Cranberry Fest grounds to the re-enactment site entrance. Those attending the program will be able to tour through 20 historically accurate sites which will portray various aspects of life from 1600 to 1840. These sites will depict the lifestyles of Native Americans as well as European trappers, traders and cartographers. There also will be exhibits featuring traditional clothing, cooking, sheep shearing, blacksmithing and long guns. Last year, more than 200 people attended the program which featured 14 exhibits, said Bill Kroll, president of Living History Encounter Inc. which organized the event. This year we have added more interpreters and expanded to 20 exhibit areas, Kroll continued. We greatly appreciate the support of the Forest County Potawatomi Foundation and we invite everyone to join us. Living History Encounter (LHE) organizers ask that
Library foundation to host celebration dinner Oct. 18

The Olson Library Foundation will host a Library Celebration Dinner Tuesday, Oct. 18, at Riverstone Restaurant & Tavern in Eagle River. According to the foundation, the event will recognize the dedicated library staff and the many volunteers who make the library an outstanding community resource. A social hour will begin at 5 p.m., followed by dinner at 6 p.m. Reservations can be dropped off at the library or mailed to The Olson Library Foundation at P.O. Box 1076, Eagle River, WI 54521 by Monday, Oct. 10. The foundation will present an informative photo show by Vilas County News-Review publisher, writer and photojournalist Kurt Krueger. He will tell the story behind the national and state awardwinning photos that led to his book, A Wildlife Collection: Celebrating Wisconsins Conservation Ethic. He will discuss photography in the digital age, answer questions and have his book available to purchase. The foundation, through the contributions of individuals and local businesses, has provided funds for equipment and facilities since 1992. Foundation President Nancy Schaffer shared that due to the limitations of the current building, the foundation has hired Durrant Architects, which prepared schematic designs for a new 13,800square-foot building (with a 6,400-square-foot lower level) to be located north of the existing building, thus allowing the present library to stay in business until the new building and parking lot are complete. Those limitations and ways in which to improve the library were verified when more than 60 community and area members were interviewed by an uninvolved questioner. Those interviewed also felt a new library was needed and that it was feasible to build it through donations and not additional taxes. The capital campaign, Right Before Your Eyes, and drive to obtain $3.26 million is under way. Those unable to attend the dinner who wish to consider making a contribution to The Olson Library Foundation can send a check payable to The Olson Library Foundation at the above address.

sor and a dean and I know that it does not deter crime and I cant see the justification of that and if we are reaping vengeance for somebody, I dont see the justification in that either. To me, executing a human being is totally unjustified and makes a statement about our countrys respect for life all life. With new scientific tests available, many have been exonerated in recent years for lack of evidence. But lets say we know the person is guilty; that the person committed a horrific crime, a murder. Just what is accomplished by taking that persons life? Absolutely nothing. What right do we have to deliberately take anyones life? Arent we just as guilty as the murderer? Is it not murder to execute someone, especially when there is doubt of his guilt? Who are we? What would be accom-

plished if the United States abolished the death penalty in every state? For one thing, we would be teaching our youths that human life is so sacred that no matter what someone does, taking a life is not justified. Now that is a powerful message especially for a country at war most of the time. Perhaps it would make us think twice about war? Perhaps it would teach all of us to treat all people with respect. No one appointed human beings to be judge or jury and send someone to a death. Do two deaths make any sense? Mary Friedel-Hunt, MA LCSW, is a freelance writer and psychotherapist in the Madison area.

Color brochures and maps are available at local businesses, area galleries and chambers of commerce or can be downloaded at northwoodsarttour.com. Visitors may find gifts, fine art for their collection or insight into the process of making original art. Nancy TeWinkle Lauren of AMTAWA in Arbor Vitae reflected the artists enthusiasm for the tour when she noted, We enjoy making new friends and sharing our work. It is our goal to welcome the serious buyer and the curious. Mary Burns, one of the original members of the tour, still enjoys welcoming the tour goers to her Manitowish River Studio. An accomplished weaver, she expresses her love of northern woodlands and waters in hues of wool and linen. Tom Benware of St. Germain, an Adirondack wood-
wright, uses the raw materials of the forest such as white birch bark, twigs, acorns, pinecones and other natural treasures to craft detailed, intricate and functional home furnishings in the rustic Adirondack style. The tour enables him to show guests how the furniture looks in a home setting. Libby Scott operates the Old Schoolhouse Gallery in Star Lake. Her family has come to the North Woods since the 1920s. I love capturing the essence of the North Woods with both my landscape and photo essay images. I love meeting people and explaining why I do the things I do, she said. Barbara and John McFarland of Woodsholm Gallery and Studios in Manitowish Waters have been involved with the Northwoods Fall Art Tour for many years. Barbara McFarland works in water media and collage and her husband, John, works mostly in pastel. They are gratified to note that about 65% of their audience is comprised of repeat visitors. John surmised, This tells us the art tour people are enjoying themselves and the art tour is providing them with the artwork they like.

Female singers tribute delivers nostalgic walk down memory lane

It was a toe-tapping, fingersnapping, extremely entertaining evening as the performers Colleen Raye, Debbie OKeefe and Sophia Grimm, elty song that they sang. Come On-A-My House was an enormous hit and made Rosie a household name. Like Clooney, Rayes, OKeefes and Grimms smooth delivery was a treat to the ears. The mother-daughter duo of Raye and Grimm lulled the audience with their magical, melting harmony of Pages well-remembered song, Tennessee Waltz. Wrapping up Act 1 was the music of Connie Francis. Two light-hearted novelty songs were performed by Raye, OKeefe and Grimm, Stupid Cupid and Lipstick on Your Collar. It was quite a sight when the trio dragged an unsuspecting gentleman from the audience to a chair on the stage and proceeded to inspect him for lipstick! The audience was also called upon to join in singing the silly Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis version of Francis song, Thats Amor. After a short intermission, delicious strawberry shortcake served by the Three Lakes eighth-grade class and a quick costume change into dazzling black dresses with red boas, it was on to Act 2 and the All-American girl next door with the golden tonsils, Doris Day. The entire Three Lakes audience was swaying to the music as the trio encouraged them to participate in a singalong of Days Oscar-winning tune, Que Sera Sera. Last in the program was the music of the edgy, sultry singer, song-writer Peggy Lee who often collaborated with her husband, Dave Barbour. Their sizzling song, Fever, was one of the Three Lakes audiences favorites as Colleen Raye tantalized a Sugar Camp gentleman in the auditorium with her husky, purringly seductive alto voice, much like that of Lee herself. Raye, OKeefe and Grimm tucked the audience in with an encore Good Night melody that left them hoping that this trio of talented performers will return with their 60s version of the Girls of the Hit Parade. It should be noted that the mission of the Three Lakes School/Community Arts Association includes sponsoring free in-school performances for Three Lakes School District students. In an afternoon lyceum, prior to the evening performance, the TLHS students were treated to a sampling of the concert. The highlight of the performance was the chance to meet American Idol hopeful, Rayes son, Reed Grimm, the barefoot drummer who founded his own band, Shoeless Revolution. Reed entertained the students with his amazing smooth, wide-range vocalization, mixed with sound effects. The students absolutely loved him! Hell be auditioning for American Idol in January and its certain that Three Lakes will be rooting for him. Kudos also to the rest of the ensemble, the talented music director Norton Lawellin and fine bass player Tom Lewis. It was a night of complete entertainment. Dianna Blicharz of Three Lakes is a member of the Three Lakes School/ Community Arts Association.
A Review
By Dianna Blicharz
portraying the American icon female singers of the 1950s, graced the stage of the Three Lakes High School (TLHS) auditorium recently as part of the Three Lakes School/Community Arts Association concert series. For most attendees, it was truly a nostalgic walk down memory lane; for some, a history lesson. As each framed print of the legendary female vocalists of the 50s Rosemary Clooney, Patti Page, Connie Francis, Doris Day and Peggy Lee displayed above the stage were lit, one by one, the Girl Singers of the Hit Parade artfully brought to life the story and music of each extraordinary woman. The performers made it clear, right from the beginning, that they were not attempting to imitate each vocalist, but rather, to celebrate them by singing the hits that made them famous. In Act 1, beautifully gowned in stunning pink, blue and yellow satin, covered in chiffon and sequins, the ladies expertly presented the unforgettable music of Rosemary Clooney, Patti Page and Connie Francis. They did so with such vocal excellence and charm that the audience was immediately engaged in every rhythm, ballad, pop and nov-

Joanne Schehl of St. Germain recently celebrated the release of her book, Northwoods Chapters. The book is a walk back in time created from experiences related to her by senior citizens of the North Woods. Interwoven are some of my own life experiences. Combined, they are a good insight of family life along with history of the area dating back from the late 1920s through the 1950s, said Schehl. I do believe to understand the events of today is to understand the history of the past. The story is fiction, the history is true, she added. Schehl and her husband, Harry, moved to St. Germain in 1985 from Oak Forest Ill., where they owned and operated a full-service gas station and a day-care business. The couple met in fifth grade and became high-school sweethearts. They were married 61 years ago and raised five children. Family vacations were spent camping in the North Woods. After moving to the North Woods, they opened St. Germains first day-care center at Community United Church of Christ in St. Germain. Because of illness, they only operated it about a year and then sold it. After returning to work, Joanne Schehl worked part time as a activity aide at Dr. Kates Nursing Home in Woodruff for five years and then began to work full time as an activity aide at the Eagle River Health Care Center in Eagle River. It was part of my job to visit with patients who had few or no visitors, shared Schehl. The stories that they shared with me about their lives in the North Woods were unforgettable. Schehl retired in January of this year after working for 10 years as a rehabilitation specialist for the Wisconsin Department of Healths Office for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Again I was blessed with many stories that my clients shared with me, she stated.
JOANNE SCHEHL
The first chapter in the book was originally a short story she wrote about her most memorable Christmas for a contest in a Milwaukee newspaper. She ran across it about a year and a half ago, sparking an interest to have it published. While working in rehabilitation, I traveled seven counties up north. I found a writing class at the senior center in Rhinelander, she said. It was there that she was encouraged to continue the story she started years before. After she finished the book, she visited a writing class at the Woodruff Senior Center and learned how to go about publishing her book. The last challenge was technology. Everything is done over the computer today, including sending in manuscripts to publishers. Doris Vretfords of St. Germain volunteered to help me with the technology, Schehl said. The book is available locally at Wall Street Pharmacy in Eagle River, St. Germain Pharmacy in St. Germain, Oneida County Senior Site on Thayer Avenue in Rhinelander, Lakeland Senior Center on Balsam Avenue in Woodruff and Book World in Minocqua. Schehl said she is looking forward to writing more books. _____________ In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him, and in that I am his pupil. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Church to offer annual luncheon during Cranberry Fest Saturday

For more than 15 years, the Womens Fellowship of First Congregational United Church of Christ (UCC) in Eagle River have served a luncheon for the public during Cranberry Fest. The luncheon will be served Saturday, Oct. 1, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the church, located at the corner of Division and First streets, on the Fest shuttle bus route. The menu will include turkey casserole, cranberry salad, relishes, cranberry bread, dessert and beverage. The cost for adults is $8 and $3 for children younger than 8. Many people have come back year after year, said Linda Jorgensen, chairwoman of Womens Fellowship. We also have requests for our recipes. In addition to the luncheon, the Lake Country Fiber Artists will be in the church with articles woven, knit and hooked, among other things. There also will be demonstrations of spinning, weaving, rug hooking and making bobbin lace. The Womens Fellowship uses the money from the luncheon to help various groups in the community. Books, stuffed animals and mittens are given to Head Start children and toiletries are donated to the womens shelter in Rhinelander. An ongoing project for the women is making quilts for the hospital and Angel On My Shoulder. For more information, contact Sandra Slagle at (715) 479-3370.
Senior Medicare Patrol plans training

Wisconsin Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), a project of the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups, will hold volunteer training Wednesday, Oct. 5, from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at the Kalmar Senior Community Center, located at 1011 N. Railroad St. in Eagle River. This session is for individuals interested in learning how to protect themselves from Medicare fraud and who wish to volunteer to educate other seniors how to prevent healthcare fraud. SMP volunteers are concerned citizens, often retired professionals, who empower seniors to prevent health-care fraud through outreach and education. The Wisconsin SMP volunteer training is an in-depth workshop that provides participants with a foundation of knowledge in three main areas the SMP program, Medicare basics, and Medicare fraud, waste and abuse. After they are trained, SMP volunteers make presentations to groups and/or distribute materials at community events to educate Medicare beneficiaries, caregivers and professionals how to prevent, detect and report health-care fraud, waste and abuse. According to SMP, healthcare fraud is a big problem in the United States. The Government Accountability Office has designated Medicare and Medicaid as high-risk programs because they are particularly vulnerable to fraud, waste and abuse. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid, estimated that these two programs made more than $70 billion in improper payments (payments that should not have been made or were made in an incorrect amount) in fiscal year 2010. Since 1997, Wisconsin SMP volunteers have worked in communities throughout the state to educate Medicare beneficiaries, family members and caregivers about the importance of protecting their personal information, reviewing their Medicare notices to identify billing errors and potentially fraudulent activity and reporting suspected fraud, waste and abuse. Preregistration is required. For more information about this training, contact Kevin Brown, Wisconsin SMP grant manager and trainer, at 1(800) 488-2596, ext. 315, or kbrown@cwag.org.

Three Lakes juniors attend education fair

Members of the Three Lakes High School junior class recently attended the Wisconsin Education Fair at Lakeland High School. The juniors visited recruiters and admission representatives from more than 60 universities, colleges and specialty schools from around the region. For many juniors this is a good starting point to closely examine options they have for furthering their education after high school, said Three Lakes paraprofessional Peggy Bennett. The timing of the college fair is perfect; students can learn early in their junior year what the admissions requirements are for the schools they may want to attend. They can also begin to sort through the volume of post-secondary schools. Part of the focus at Three Lakes High School is to prepare students for life beyond graduation. Knowing some of the options that are available should help them use the next two years of high school to their benefit, according to Bennett. Students reacted positively overall to the fair. I thought we would walk around being bored and just stress about our future and jobs that I dont want to think about yet, said Three Lakes junior Ashley Dorpat. But then we heard about several different colleges and all of the scholarships that are available and we didnt have enough time to see all we wanted to. Another student, Kira Peters, said she found her choice college at the event. It was really fun, she said. I learned about a college I had never heard of before and I actually want to go to that college now.
The Three Lakes Community Learning Center will host free classes for the public Tuesdays from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. in the boardroom at Three Lakes School throughout the fall semester. Participants are asked to sign in at the high school office upon arrival and enter the boardroom through the outdoor entrance. Cooking classes
will meet in Room 208. Classes this semester will include: Oct. 4, 11, 18 and 25, Computers for Beginners with Mr. Welhoefer and Mr. Brown; and Nov. 1, 8, 15 and 22 , holiday cooking with Mrs. Kroll. Participants should preregister for classes by calling Peggy Bennett at (715) 5463321, ext. 206.
Pumpkin Fest set next weekend

The Three Lakes Fire Department Auxiliary will sponsor its 19th annual Pumpkin Fest Saturday, Oct. 8, at Three Lakes High School from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The fest will feature arts and crafts, a bakery table, lunch and homemade specialty foods, including soups. Cindy Starke of the auxiliary said there will be about 100 craft exhibits in the large and small gymnasiums and hallway. Besides the indoor crafts show, a farmers market will be set up outside the school. While there is no admission fee for Pumpkin Fest, visitors are asked to donate a nonperishable food item for Three Lakes Christian Food Pantry.

Irish Waters donates to pantry

Local owners of Crowleys Irish Waters pub and grill on Highway 32/45 in Three Lakes are giving back to the community by providing free meals to their patrons on Packers game Sundays. Instead of charging for the meal, Bob and Mary Hansen are collecting donations for the Three Lakes Christian Food Pantry. Three Lakes is a community and community is family, said Mary Hansen. We like to take care of our own. There are so many who give and we are fortunate to be able to give back to the community through helping the food pantry. According to food pantry director Dick Turner, the Three Lakes Christian Food Pantry serves between 50 and 80 families each month with 3,000 to 5,000 pounds of food and vouchers. Turner said that he is grateful for the support that Irish Waters has given the pantry.

Record funds raised at memorial golf outing

An all-time record of $3,871 was raised at the 12th annual Bernie VanAcker Memorial Golf Outing recently held at Plum Lake Golf Course. With more than 60 golfers in attendance, the group raised the money in memory of VanAcker, who was a member of the Sayner/Star Lake Lions Club. VanAcker died of a heart attack in 2000, just two weeks before the first golf outing he had helped organize with Cherie Anderson, owner of Sisters Saloon. Anderson has helped raised more than $34,000 for the Sayner/Star Lake Lions Club over the last 12 years in memory of VanAcker. Winners of the raffle were Maria Lemback of Sturtevant, who won a handmade cedar chest made by Butch Harder. Larry Grimm of St. Germain won the shotgun raffle. The Lions Club will use funds raised to purchase such things as new Christmas lights, playground equipment, Fourth of July fireworks and trail maintenance of the Razorback Ridge bike and ski trails in Sayner.

The St. Germain Lions Club has announced the winners in its annual gun raffle. The drawing was held during St. Germains recent Colorama weekend at Sportsmens Chalet in Eagle River. The first-place prize, a Weatherby Vanguard 300 magnum rifle, went to Nick Seifert of Minocqua; secondplace winner Fritz Scharf of Eagle River won a Browning 12-gauge shotgun; Carole Poole of Woodruff won a oneof-a-kind handcrafted Buck knife; and the fourth-place prize of $100 cash went to Gary Horant of Eagle River. The club uses funds raised to support various donations throughout the year including $4,000 in annual scholarships to area students, $4,000 to the Wisconsin Lions Camp in Rosholt, as well as donations to Dr. Kate Hospice, local Special Olympics and youth sports.

A water sample taken from Duck Lake, north of Land O Lakes, reveals freshwater jellyfish. According to experts, the jellyfish are harmless and not invasive to our lakes. --Photo By Jill James
Club discusses freshwater jellyfish

LAND O LAKES CORRESPONDENT

Jim Foriano, a resident on Duck Lake, north of Land O Lakes, displayed a water sample containing freshwater jellyfish at a recent Land O Lakes Fish and Game Club meeting. With the help of Land O Lakes resident Peter Dring, it was found that experts stated that the freshwater jellyfish are from Asia and are not invasive to our lakes. They feed on plankton and are not an aggressive jellyfish. In addition, experts noted that the appearance of the jellyfish is described as sporadic
and unpredictable. Often, jellyfish will appear in a body of water in large numbers, even though they were never reported there before. The following year, they may be absent and may not reappear until several years later. It is also possible for the jellyfish to appear once and never appear in that body of water again. Some scientists believe the jellyfish may be transported from lake to lake as podocysts on aquatic plants, by aquatic animals, or perhaps on the feet of birds.
The Land O Lakes Public Library will present an antiques and collectibles appraisal event featuring author and antiques expert Mark F. Moran of Iola Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 1 p.m. Formerly the senior editor of Antiques and Collectibles Books for Krause Publications in Iola, Moran also has been a contributing editor for Antique Trader magazine. He has served as editor of Antique Review East magazine; as producer of Atlantique City, an antique show held in Atlantic City, N.J.; and as editorial director of F+W Medias Antiques Group. He also has been a guest expert on the Public Broadcasting Service series Antiques Roadshow. The appraisal event will be limited to 40 objects. The cost per object is $15. Sign-up and payment are required for an item reservation spot. To sign up or for a full list of acceptable items, contact the library at (715) 547-6006. Everyone is welcome to view this program.

Two Phelps residents among 88 vets on D.C. Honor Flight

Phelps residents Donald Crass, 92, and Leonard Alinen, 91, experienced an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., Monday, Sept. 19. Crass, whose daughter, Donna Sefton, traveled with him as a guardian, served in the Army in 1941 as coastal artillery in Aruba and 9th Division Infantry in Germany, France and Belgium. Alinen served in the Army as sergeant in the 332nd Engineers in Europe for three and one-half years. The group arrived in Mosinee Sunday evening and stayed in complimentary rooms at Howard Johnson Motel. Local Boy Scouts escorted the veterans to their rooms, which housed notes from local children thanking them for their service. The veterans were served a complimentary dinner that evening. We had a wake-up call at 4 a.m., said Alinen. Nobody really slept that much before that. We boarded the bus by 4:45 a.m. to the Central Wisconsin Airport. By 7 a.m., we were flying out. The fire department shot water cannons as the plane went down the runway, which was repeated on their arrival in Washington, D.C. They told us not to open our windows, said Crass. The water cannon is only done for pilots retiring and the Honor Flight. Eighty-eight veterans were on the flight, plus guardians and staff.

Club announces winners in scarecrow contest

More than 150 adults and children attended the recent womens club scarecrow event, which featured more than 20 scarecrows made and displayed by local businesses and individuals. Scarecrow winners by age class included the following: 1 to 12, Lily Jusufi; 12 to 18, Kelly Hyngerford; 18 to 60,Thelsie Wisneski; and 60 and older, Bud Petrick. Winners of the pumpkin contest by age included: 1 to 12, Cody Kangas; 18 to 60, Jen Primich; and 60 and older, Sue Omdahl. There was no entry for the 12 to 18 age category. Winners of the scarecrows received cash prizes of $20 and the pumpkin winners received $10. The event featured a costumed monster walking around the event. Free deepfried pickles, chili, coffee, cider and cookies were also provided. Phelps accordionist Tom Hickson and Phelps guitarist Bill Wilkinson provided music, while womens club member Penny Schurrer read stories. John Jackle, Loren Johnson and Colin Snook demonstrated how honey is harvested and extracted from the comb at Northbay Cafe. I was very impressed at the turnout and community involvement, said event coordinator Mary Ann Holcomb. We have many new ideas already brewing for next year.

There were four medics and they were fantastic in taking care of everyone, said Sefton. Dad was in first class because of his oxygen and he needed a wheelchair. After the flight to D.C., the group was off to see the

memorials, including the Marine Corps War Memorial, which is also called the Iwo Jima Memorial. The veterans were given a traveling tour of D.C. while they ate lunch. Stops included the Capitol and the Pentagon, followed by the World War II Memorial. There are a lot of guys six feet under, said Crass. They were brave and took a chance. Im one of the lucky ones. I would never be here today if it wouldnt have been for God guiding me my whole life. The group also drove past the Vietnam, Lincoln and Korea memorials on the way to the national cemetery for the changing of the guard at 5 p.m. The veterans then saw the Air Force Museum. The 88 veterans had dinner on the bus on the way back to the airport, where they received a warm welcome from crowds of people. Once on the plane, the group received a surprise mail call. There was more stuff in that envelope than you can shake a stick at, said Crass, who received a package from his niece that contained all the letters he sent
her while he was in the war. I never had such a welcome when we arrived in Mosinee, said Sefton. People were cheering, there were military personnel all wanting to shake their hands. It was amazing to see their reactions and how much it moved them. It really moved me, too. Alinen added that he was impressed that the Honor Flight was organized by a group of volunteers. The non-profit organization helps raise the funds and makes the arrangements.
