PHELPS A public forum on a draft all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ordinance using town and county roads in the town of Phelps attracted about 200 persons Monday night, with safety concerns and economic issues being the common denominators for the town board to consider. Town Chairman Collin Snook said the draft ATV route ordinance included input from a survey that went to all property owners. It resulted in 58 more property owners in favor of ATVs than against. We want you to give us your views and provide feedback to the town board, Snook told the crowded gym
seating capacity, indicating that it was a Phelps issue and comments would be heard from Phelps residents and landowners first. We want to share information. We have a survey that can be turned into Clerk Margie Hiller up to Sept. 12. The draft ordinance that would allow ATVs on some town and county roads was created by the town board with the assistance of five citizens, both for and against ATVs. There currently are two ATV routes in the town, one from Big Sand Lake boat landing to Sand Lake Pub and the other from the North Twin Lake boat landing in town to the convenience store. Both are open all year. The proposal indicates trails would be for a threeyear trial period and includes
23 road segments. If other property owners wanted consideration for an ATV trail, they could petition the town board with a majority of signatures of property owners along the road. 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 decision was made at the meeting, the town board is expected to review both the comments at the forum and the result of a ballot vote by residents at the meeting to make a decision on To ATV, Pg. 7A

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reopened the comment period on the proposed rule to delist the gray wolf population in the Western Great Lakes, seeking input on the claim that two distinct species of wolves exist. The action will allow for additional public review and the inclusion of any new information, said a service spokesperson. The claim by the service that two distinct species of wolves exist in Wisconsin has led to mounting frustrations for state officials who continue to battle for state control over the gray wolf population. While we fully support soliciting input from the public on conservation policies, I am disappointed to see yet
another delay on delisting gray wolves in Wisconsin, said Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Secretary Cathy Stepp. However, this additional comment period will give Wisconsin, our neighboring states and partners another opportunity to make our case for a defensible and scientifically supported federal delisting effort. Gray wolves were originally listed as subspecies or as regional populations of subspecies in the lower 48 states and Mexico under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and its predecessor statutes. In 1978, the service reclassified the gray wolf as an endangered species across all of the To WOLVES, Pg. 4A

BY NEWS-REVIEW STAFF ___________ The first segment of the Great Headwaters Trails (GHT) system of bicycle and pedestrian trails is officially funded and has gotten the green light to proceed with design and development. A team of Conover officials and GHT members reviewed last week the qualifications of the 14 engineering firms from around Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that were interested in designing that first segment the western end of the ConoverPhelps Trail. The team chose its top five firms, ranked them and sent off the list to Cedar Corp., the Conover projects management consultant. Cedar Corp. will negotiate a contract for services with the Conover teams top choice. That same week, the Rhinelander office of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation sent an email notifying Conover and GHT that the trail segment project was authorized for charging. This indicated that the segments funding through the Bicycle Pedestrian Facilities Program was officially available and that the project could begin. The entire Conover-Phelps Trail will go from the Conover Town Park to the town of Phelps. The segment starting this fall will extend as far as Muskrat Creek Road on abandoned railroad grade north of Highway K. The project will include new bathroom facilities for the park and three new bridges across Pioneer Creek and Muskrat Creek. When completed next year, the crushed limestone trail will be ready for year-round use for bicycles and pedestrians in spring, summer and fall, and for snowmobilers in the winter. 30 miles proposed The goal of GHT is to have its entire bike-pedestrian system in place by 2020.
Some whitetail bucks are starting to shed velvet from their antlers and many of this years fawns lost or are losing their spots, both signs that autumn is just around the corner. A few leaves are already starting to turn colors. With the three-day Labor Day weekend ahead, lakes will be busy with activity as the summer water recreation season winds down. With cooling water temperatures, muskie activity is expected to increase for anglers. Wednesday will be cloudy with a few morning showers, with a high of 73 and a low of 56.Thursday should be sunny, warm and humid, with a high of 84 and a low of 60. Friday scattered, strong thunderstorms are expected, with a high of 80 and a low of 67. Saturday a few showers are possible, with a high of 69 and a low of 51.

The system will connect Eagle River and Conover to Phelps, Land O Lakes and St. Germain more than 30 miles of off-road, family-friendly trails. The system will also connect to the Wilderness Lakes Trails system to the north, the Boulder Junction-toSt Germain system to the west, and the Three Eagle Trail that comes up from Three Lakes to the south. Design on the Eagle River extension of the Three Eagle Trail also will be done this fall. The extension will go from the depot in Eagle River south past Dairy Queen to Section
Nine Road. It is also expected to be constructed next summer. On Aug. 17, the Great Headwaters Trails Foundation held its first meeting. GHT is incorporated as a nonprofit organization and will file this month for 501(c)(3) status. In its first year, in addition to working with the town of Conover to begin development of the funded Conover trail segment, GHT has begun to engineer two other segments of trail. It has also presented its plans to the Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance and the Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club, as well as groups like the Vilas
County Economic Development Corp., Grow North and the Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center. The GHT board is composed of eight eastern Vilas County residents Jeff and Ann Currie of Cloverland, Tuck Daniels of Phelps, Jeff Pauly of Land O Lakes, Gary Meister and John Gagnon of Eagle River, Bob Payseur of Conover and Mike Robillard, president of the Vilas Area Silent Sports Association.

The Oneida County Board of Adjustment affirmed a decision of the Oneida County Planning and Zoning Committee that a Planting Ground Lake property owner must remove 12 newly constructed steps to the lake and fully restore the site to original grade. The board of adjustment made the ruling last Tuesday, according to board Secretary Elmer Goetsch, though the decision may be appealed in Oneida County Circuit Court within 30 days of the decision. Three pairs of permit applications were submitted for the work at 1643 Lighthouse Lodge Road in Three Lakes, including revised boathouse and stairs zoning permits, along with a revised shoreland alteration permit. The property is owned by the Judy B. Nussbaum Trust, Wheaton, Ill. The board noted in its written decision that numerous communications and site visits by Oneida County Zoning Department staff eventually resolved most issues in question prior to the work being done, including any dispute on location, slope and land disturbance. Construction by Design/Build by Visner, in Eagle River, was completed in early 2011. Department staff site visits resulted in observation of several permit and ordinance violations, most notably that the embankment under the bottom 12 steps had been deeply excavated, contrary to the statement on all three zoning permits to not disturb the embankment, wrote Goetsch in the decision. On June 13, 2011, the committee directed zoning department staff to order the bottom steps that had been placed in violation of the ordinance be removed and the site of those steps be restored to original grade and replanted. At the board of adjustment site inspection and hearing Aug. 23, the one unresolved issue on appeal related to the construction, excessive excavation of the embankment and placement of the bottom 12 new steps. Jeff Visner, representing the appellant, suggested to leave the steps in place, there-
by to void the committee order to remove the steps and to restore the area of the original embankment. Visner admitted that the allowed excavation and depth below grade had been exceeded. However, he argued that the bottom 12 steps had been so placed and the embankment excavated because it was necessary to do so using good design and construction standards to achieve proper tread rise and depth. He also said that the stairs, as constructed, were best for appearance. The county asserted that the steps could be constructed which would meet the ordinance requirements and good stair design. Exactly how to do it would depend on submission of a new zoning permit after site restoration. The board of adjustment affirmed that order following a site inspection and hearing testimony. The Oneida County Board of Adjustment affirms the order of the committee and orders that the bottom 12 new steps be removed and that the site be restored to original grade and replanted as directed by the committee, wrote Goetsch.

Wolves:
lower 48 states and Mexico, except in Minnesota where the gray wolf was classified as threatened. In the rule issued earlier this year, the service proposed to remove gray wolves in the Western Great Lakes area which includes Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, and portions of adjoining states from the federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife because wolves have recovered in this area and no longer require the protection of the ESA. The service also proposed to revise the range of the gray wolf (canus lupus) in all or parts of 29 Eastern states, which, based in part on recognition of the Eastern wolf (canus lycaon) as a full species, were not part of the historical range of the gray wolf. About 800 wolves State officials say that dividing the Western Great Lakes wolf population into two distinct species may render it impossible to prove the gray wolf had made a recovery since the Wisconsin DNR has monitored the wolves as a single group for the past 30 years. We will again submit strong comments regarding the recognition of two species of wolves in the Great Lakes, said Stepp. Simply put, clouding the delisting by recognizing the existence of two physically indistinguishable species of wolves in Wisconsin is not defensible. Wisconsin wildlife officials estimate the states gray wolf population at the close of the 2010-11 winter was between 782 and 824 animals, roughly a 13% increase over the 200910 end-of-winter estimate. We now exceed the federal delisting recovery goal of 100 total wolves eight times over. The public grows weary of the delays and government inaction, said Stepp. While the DNR is committed to longterm conservation of wolves in

Wisconsin, it is critical that we be allowed to manage wildlife populations within our borders, including problem wolves. Ten dogs have been killed by wolves in Wisconsin since July 1, according to Stepp. Last year alone, 47 farms lost at least 75 livestock animals and saw injuries to six more. It is time to get this done, said Stepp. We hope this is the last bump on the much too long federal road to delisting. New comment period The comment period on the proposed rule closed July 5, and the service received significant comments from states and other stakeholders concerning North American wolf taxonomy. The service is seeking all information, data and comments from the public with respect to any new information relevant to the taxonomy of wolves in North America. Comments must be received on or before Sept. 26. The service will post all comments on regulations.gov. This generally means the agency will post any personal information provided through the process. The service is not able to accept email or faxes. Written comments on this proposal may be submitted by one of the following methods: Federal eRulemaking Portal: regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments to Docket No. [FWS-R3-ES-2011-0029].

The open enrollment picture in the Northland Pines School District is a lot brighter than it was just five years ago, District Administrator Mike Richie told the school board last week. During the 2005-06 school year, the district lost nearly 60 students to open enrollment which cost the district $450,000. Today, the number of students leaving the district is up to 71, but the good news is the number of students choosing to come to Northland Pines is 90. Richies goal was to turn the numbers around and in those five years the difference has gone from minus 60 students to plus 19. There are eight schools from which students choose to leave to attend Northland Pines, with the largest being 44 from Three Lakes and 37 from Phelps. In return, there were 43 students choosing Three Lakes over Northland Pines and 12 Pines students choosing Phelps. Other schools with students choosing open enrollment were Rhinelander School District with three into the district and one out; Lakeland Union High School with two in and six out; North Lakeland Elementary School with none coming into Pines and three out; Arbor Vitae-Woodruff Elementary School with one into Pines and four out; and Minocqua-Hazelhurst-Lake Tomahawk Elementary School with three into Pines and one out. There also is one student from Pines going to an Appleton virtual school. My new goal is to have 100 students choosing Northland Pines over other districts, said Richie. That state open enrollment law allows a student from one school district to attend another school district. The open enrollment application period is in February for the following school year. Multiyear classroom Richie and elementary school Principal Scott Foster gave a report on student enrollment in the two elementary schools. They said the current enrollment for Land O Lakes elementary shows there may be a need for a multiyear classroom. Pre-K (prekindergarten) has 18 enrolled, kindergarten has four and first grade has 12, Richie said. We are looking at combining kindergarten and first grade. We will make this the best for the students, added Foster. I have experience with multiage classrooms and we have a good teacher. A resignation of an elementary teacher at St. Germain has left one class with 19 students, therefore the district is looking at having one student
come to the Eagle River Elementary School to stay within the Student Achievement Guarantee in Education guideline of 18 students per grade in kindergarten through third grade. We are talking with several parents about this possibility, Richie said, but overall, were in great shape with all teaching positions filled. The board approved several teaching positions, including Rebecca Powell for 50% time at Land O Lakes elementary, Katelyn Gussert for seventhgrade English language arts at the middle school, Patricia Rickman for Eagle River elementary fifth grade and Amy Jo Warrick for special education at St. Germain elementary. Richie said the district is starting the academic year with 19 new teachers, two new principals and one new secretary. Enrollment at the high school is just fewer than 500, which Richie said if the figures remains for the third Friday official enrollment count, the school would lose one state scholarship for a graduating senior. At the high school level, new Principal Jim Brewer said he wanted to see more students involved in athletics. He said the fall sports numbers were not high enough and wanted to get more participation in sports and cocurriculars, including more students in multisports. In an action item, the board adopted the employee handbook that includes a grievance procedure mandated by the state budget repair bill. One question remaining to be explored was if the Impartial Hearing Officer can choose to have any hearing either open or closed when Chapter 18.85 (1)(b) indicates a person has the right to demand that the evidentiary hearing or meeting be held in open session. Public comment Citizen Lorraine Krajewski, who has been publicly critical of the school board at times, gave the board a number of compliments during the public participation section of the meeting. There have been a number of positive changes Ive seen, Krajewski told the board. I see an increase in praise for activities other than sports such as the art projects, encouragement of teacher accomplishments, and the open records process invite which was huge for me. Krajewski also said she felt good about her request not to include her daughters picture on Facebook and was thankful the Voice of the Pines was being proofread.
It represents our district better; kudos for proofreading it. Overall, Krajewski said she was very pleased with the
changes she is seeing, but supported having annual review of teachers rather than once every three years for veteran teachers.

Vilas County road projects are expected to be completed this year, funded through the segregated highway account, according to information provided to the Highway Committee last week by acting Highway Commissioner Jarred Maney. We have enough to pay for all current 2011 projects, Maney said. The segregated highway construction account will go from $672,134 to $23,248. The committee went through the projects, including a few noted problems on the Highway B chip sealing work west of Land O Lakes. The actual job looks like it was done very well, but there were a lot of damaged windshields (on vehicles), said committee member Ralph Sitzberger. The town chairman and supervisors need to be informed what was going on. The contractor has a bond for windshields and the public didnt know about it. Sitzberger said there should have been a 35 mph speed limit on the roadway during the project. Sweeping should be defined better (in the contract specifications) to include both the road and intersections and we need the highway department to inspect the job before the contractor equipment is removed, he said. We need to sit down and look at more details in the contracts and sit down and discuss those details. Highway Committee Chairman Jack Harrison agreed, adding his opinion on the size of the stone used in chip sealing. Seal coating gives the county a bad reputation due to broken windshields and the contractor needs to know what is expected; we shouldnt have to walk behind them, Harrison said. Well do what Sitzberger suggests this winter. We also need to discuss using five-sixteenths chip verses three-eighths and we need to do a section with onequarter inch.
Those sizes prompted two contractors, Farhner Asphalt and Scott Construction, to withdraw their bids for 10 miles of chip seal on Highway B from Highway M west to Presque Isle, indicating they could not find a source of fivesixteenths stone called for in the bid specifications. The bid of Pitlik & Wick of $122,486 did meet specifications and was accepted. Harrison stated next year they should try one-quarter-inch chip seal with sand so we dont have to fight windshield damage. The work on the 10 miles of Highway B is to be completed by Sept. 7. A paving project on Highway K for 1.5 miles east of Highway E on the north side of North Twin Lake drew one bid of $264,788 by Pitlik & Wick, which was approved. In another proposed road project on Highway M from Highway 51, the county is expected to fund 20% of the engineering costs, or $130,000, with the state picking up the rest. The total cost of the project is expected to be about $8 million, with the county share being $2 million. Vacant positions Besides the vacant highway commissioner position, there are four more vacancies in the Vilas County Highway Department due to retirement. A county board resolution asking permission to fill those four positions was withdrawn at the August county
board meeting. While the committee wanted to reintroduce the resolution, there was a discussion if four or three positions should be filled. Committee member Al Bauman suggested a partial solution to the labor shortage until the vacancies are filled. Could the guys retiring help out in certain situations? he asked. Thats a question thats out there. Maybe we can look at combining the shop foreman and parts person, suggested Supervisor Charles Rayala. Harrison indicated the committee should leave it up to the full county board to decide on four or three replacement employees. Rayala moved to reintroduce the resolution to the September county board to fill three vacant positions. That motion passed 3-2, with Bauman and Sitzberger voting against. In other business, the committee viewed the preliminary 2012 highway department budget of $3,986,111, down from the 2011 budget of $4,058,417. One of the largest drops in the budget was for employee benefits, going from $770,000 this year to $620,500 for 2012 as a result of the budget repair bill. The committee also agreed to the countywide bicycle and pedestrian trail system prepared by North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission and returned it to the Forestry and Land Committee.

Vilas County employees would be barred from having any grievance hearing heard in open session before an impartial hearing officer (IHO), according to the draft grievance policy being considered by the Vilas County Transition Committee. The policy is being drafted in response to new state law under Gov. Scott Walkers budget repair bill that stripped most collective bargaining authority from unions. In addition, the employee would be barred from having an appeal of the IHO decision to the full county board in open session. While such hearings will be recorded and provided to the employee filing the grievance, it is the intent of the draft written by the Vilas County Transition Committee to have hearings closed to the public, whether the employee wants the hearings open or not. We asked for this to be closed, said committee chairman Jim Behling. The draft grievance process was explained at last weeks meeting of the Transition Committee. When an employee files a grievance with the county human resources director (HRD), the HRD is not required to notify the employee why the grievance is denied. If there is no written response from the HRD within five working days, the grievance is
considered denied. If denied, the employee may request a hearing before the IHO who shall conduct a prehearing conference, in secrecy, and select a date not less than 20 nor more than 45 calendar days from the date the grievance is filed to hold a hearing. That hearing shall be closed to the public. Although the draft policy indicates the IHO shall deliver a written decision no later than 20 working days from the date of the hearing, if no written decision is received within 20 working days, the grievance shall be considered sustained. The next step in the process would have the employee who filed the grievance appeal the decision to the full county board who will also hold a hearing in closed session. The draft indicates the county board shall deliver a written decision, but if no written decision is received within 20 working days, the grievance shall be considered sustained. Supervisor Erv Teichmiller wanted to change the draft language to require written decisions at all steps along the process. This is offensive, Teichmiller declared. To allow the IHO not to file a written response is not courteous. They should be obligated to file a ruling as to why a grievance should be denied; whether sustained or rejected, there should be a written statement.
When the policy addressed an appeal before the full county board, Teichmiller again objected to not having the board, if they so choose, to issue a written ruling on an appeal. You dont require a written response by the IHO and the county board should be expected to give a written response, he stated once more. It is totally disrespectful and unjustifiable when the county board doesnt need to give a written response. Supervisor Edward Bluthardt Jr. indicated otherwise. There is no harm to anybody with no written response, Bluthardt said. The harm is to have to wait all those days for the process. Why not let the person know right away? Teichmiller countered. They are denied the opportunity to move forward more quickly. Teichmiller made a motion to require written responses by the HRD, the IHO and county board. His motion died for lack of a second. Minor language corrections also were made, with the Transition Committee expected to meet again Monday, Aug. 29, to vote on a final grievance procedure to be presented to the county board in September.

The glory days of autumn are coming fast
AS WE TURN the calendar to September and usher in cooler nights with lows in the 40s, Im finally getting an intense itch for fall hunting seasons that will start in less than three weeks. People who live with six months of winter shouldnt complain about these things, but many days this summer were too hot for anything except hitting the lakes. Some projects didnt get done and now it will be a rush to complete the list before fall arrives. The challenge will be meeting those responsibilities while continuing to sharpen the shooting eye with bow and shotgun. Practice makes perfect and some preseason shooting is essential for those of us who dont want to be frustrated with a lot of misses later on. There also has to be time for dog training and exercise, tree stand placement, equipment checks and scouting which for many these days, means getting trail cameras in place and frequently checking the results. So how do we get it all done? There is no simple answer to that question, but we avid hunters are good at prioritizing the list so theres a balance between work and play. In fact, hunters and anglers are masters at clearing their schedules just ask the spouses who get left behind. And our capacity increases significantly. Getting up before dawn is no problem when it means scouting for birds and exercising the dogs for hunting season. Sud-
In the Outdoors
By Kurt Krueger
denly, noon hours were made for shooting bow or swinging on clay targets. You get the picture. Like adrenaline that pumps through the body when it is needed most, hunters get a rush of energy in anticipation of their favorite fall seasons. As rocker Phil Colleens said so eloquently in a song, I can feel it coming in the air tonight, hold on. What I feel coming with great anticipation are long walks in thick forests with a black Lab named Gracie out in front, combing the ground like a minesweeper in search of bird scent. I long for crisp evenings in the tree stand as the fall colors peak and a variety of wild species become extremely active, outings where the scenery is so fantastic that seeing deer is just a bonus. Then theres the hope of rafts of ducks pouring into a spread of decoys at dawn, or the promise of ringneck pheasants bursting from the tall grass or a cornfield. Most of us have already been trying to clear the calendar for October, getting ahead on those
trips to see the in-laws and the grandkids. There is no equivalent 31-day stretch on the calendar for sportsmen and -women. And if you add fishing and trapping into the equation, theres just no time left for meaningful employment. It stands to reason that those who are retired have the upper hand in terms of time, but some of them face the challenge of lost capacity. Once they start with the oh, I can always do it tomorrow attitude, they seem to be too busy to get anything done. Those of us who must continue to be employed will just pull every string possible to maximize the short days of fall, when theres only a small window of opportunity left at the end of each workday. But that window is often the most productive of all. I have friends who dont believe a two- or three-hour outing is really hunting at all. My response is that beggars cant be choosers. I might have to rush a little after work, but every evening in the grouse woods, or in the tree stand, opens the door to new adventures and new possibilities. Time is really short for those who havent started getting the dogs in shape, or who havent brushed the dust off their bow. Its time to untangle that mob of decoys sitting in the attic or skiff. To the scribbler, the grandest time of the year is just a few short weeks away. And you have to be ready because the window of opportunity is short. Good grouse
Archery practice and hunters safety courses that are being taught now are a big part of the preseason warmup. --Photo By The Author
hunting without snow can be over by the first or second week of November. It will be a great fall regardless of the hunt forecast, but there is more good news in that regard. Deer numbers are rebounding and
spring drumming counts for grouse showed a 43% increase here. The turning of the calendar to September means theres no time to wait, for the hunting seasons are virtually upon us.

Eagles boys improve to 6-0-1
Beat Antigo 10-0 in GNC soccer opener
The Northland Pines Eagles boys soccer team boosted its early season record to 6-0-1 after a busy four-game week. After Tuesdays 0-0 tie at Marquette, Mich., the Eagles won at Antigo 10-0 Thursday. A double duel at home Saturday resulted in a 4-0 win over Merrill and a 3-2 win against Kingsford, Mich. Marquette opened with a flurry against Pines, but a strong defensive effort by the Eagles kept the Redmen off the board. The game balanced out over time, as the Eagles generated their own scoring opportunities. By the end of the game, Pines generated 10 shots, two of which were on the goal. Marquette took 13 shots, of which six were saved by Pines keeper Evan Hartwig. Marquette exposes a teams weakness in a hurry, said Pines coach Larry Favorite. We found out we are a good defensive team, but also could see where we need to improve our midfield possession and patience in the front third of the field. The Eagles opened Great Northern Conference (GNC) play with a win at Antigo. Pines jumped to a 4-0 halftime lead by a pair of goals by Matt Meyer. Antigo, playing with no available players to substitute, could not contain the Eagles in the second half. Dylan Weber and Jacob Bozic each scored a pair for Pines, and Hartwig needed to make only one save to record the shutout. Leif Offerdahl scored his first of two goals on a corner kick to get the Eagles on the board against Merrill. Weber and Meyer also recorded tallies to round out the scoring for Pines. The Eagles defensive backfield of Scott Moline, Alex Camp, Steve Vogel, Greg Chamberlain, Jacob Tosch and Cody Drake played well as Pines recorded its sixth straight shutout to open the season. Hartwig had five saves for the Eagles. The always solid Kingsford Flivvers scored first against the Eagles on a first-half penalty kick Saturday. But

the Eagles rallied back to take the lead with a goal by Offerdahl, and another on a Weberto-Meyer combination. But Kingsford countered back with a late first-half goal to tie the game at 2-2. Despite giving up two goals, I thought we played very well offensively, especially with Weber and Offerdahl controlling the middle of the field, said Favorite. But the second half saw Kingsford bring Jeremy Milinski into the center midfield, which made them much more effective there. This took the edge off Pines attack, as the game played back and forth between the two teams. But Camp scored the only
second-half goal of the game on a penalty kick, and the Eagles held on for its sixth win of the season. I was pleased that we did not crack after going down in the early going, said Favorite. The guys kept at it and
worked hard to get this win against a solid opponent. Pines was scheduled to host defending GNC champion Rhinelander Tuesday and then take on Medford at home Thursday, Sept. 1. Both games start at 5 p.m.

Northland Pines stayed close for nearly a half before the Calumet, Mich., Copper Kings pulled away in the second half and cruised to a 50-12 victory over the Eagles in a WestPAC football game last Friday night at Eagle River. It was a tough game against a very solid opponent, said Pines coach Jason Foster. We were able to come out and make enough plays to hang with them for most of the first half, however, mentally we were not able to get over the hump and stay competitive for the entire game. The Copper Kings scored on their first position, but the Eagles Austin Ramesh tied the game at 6-6 following an 85yard touchdown run. Both teams missed the PAT. Calumet responded with another touchdown and this time converted the PAT to make it 14-6 late in the first quarter. Ramesh again kept
the Eagles close, this time on a 75-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Cooper Kerner. The Eagles PAT-run failed. The Copper Kings scored two more touchdowns before half to make the score 28-12 at the intermission. Pines received the second-half kickoff, but couldnt score, which would have made it a onetouchdown game again. Calumet took over from there, putting another 22 points on the board. Foster said Ramesh had a big game despite the loss. He carried the ball seven times for 98 yards and caught three passes for 122 yards. On defense, Ramesh had eight solo tackles and five assists from his linebacker position. Austin led the way on both sides of the ball with one of his most complete games in his two-plus-year varsity career, To EAGLES, Pg. 14A

week, with the exception of Hunter Mathison, freshman, who suffered a neck injury. Fritz said the alternative to forfeiture wouldve been Three Lakes freshmen trading blows with upper-classmen from West Iron County. I talked with a number of parents, and we just felt that putting freshmen up against
juniors and seniors from West Iron would not have benefitted anybody, including West Iron, said Fritz. With the Bluejays starters returning to the field, the conference opener is on against Menomonee Indian this Friday, Sept. 2, at 7 p.m. It will be Three Lakes first home game of the season.

said Foster. Kerner completed six of 12 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown. Tanner Perry caught one pass for 40 yards and raced to inside the 20-yard line as time expired at halftime. Offensively, Cooper Kerner had the best game of his young varsity career, stepping up and completing some great passes as well as doing a nice job taking care of the football, said Foster. Lucas Ferber and Alex Kornely also had solid games on defense in an effort to slow the Calumets powerful offense, said Foster. Ferber had eight solo tackles and eight assists, while Kornely had four solo tackles and seven assists. While we will look to learn from our mistakes, it is time to put Calumet behind us and work toward getting back on the winning track against Bessemer, said Foster. Calumet had 21 seniors on its 35-man roster and were led by 190-pound linebacker and running back Tyler Froberg and 6-foot-5 tight end Benjamin Storm. The Eagles had just six seniors on its roster. They are picked by most coaches to win the WestPAC this year, said Foster. The Eagles, 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the WestPAC, will travel to Bessemer, Mich., this Friday, Sept. 2, starting at 7 p.m.

In perhaps the most bizarre finish to a points race northern Wisconsin has ever seen, Bruce Belland won the WISSOTA AMSOIL Dirt Track Series (WADTS) Midwest Modifieds title by a single point over Jerry Grasse at TNT Speedway Saturday night. Belland was credited with the feature win and got the extra point he needed after the man who came to the checkered first, Terry Stebbeds, was disqualified. It was the highlight of an unbelievable night of racing at TNT Speedway, which saw three points battles come down to the wire and all three eventual track champs finish their seasons with feature wins. Jordan Kurtti of Bruce Crossing, Mich., outdueled Hurleys John Kallas for the win and the title in the WADTS Street Stocks. Denny Tushoski of Rhinelander put an exclamation point on his second TNT Bombers championship in three years with a dominating feature win. Eric LaFreniere of Norway, Mich., won the Stingers feature but could not make up enough points to catch Rhinelanders John Barlowski. Grasse entered the roller coaster that was the Midwest Modifieds feature with a twopoint lead over Belland. After the race, the two drivers were tied at 525 points for the season and the track was going to have co-champions for the first time in its history. But in post-race inspection, Stebbeds car was found to run afoul of the clause in WADTS Midwest Modified Rule 5, Section B, that states, Bead locks will be allowed on the right rear wheels only. Stebbeds had a bead lock on the right front. Everybody moved up one position as a result of the disqualification. Belland instead
got 35 points for the win, while Grasse got 32 points for third. Final tally was Belland 527, Grasse 526. The TNT Bombers feature was equally dramatic. Tushoski entered two points ahead of Todd Brass, who eventually spun out and then was involved in a four-car wreck in his efforts to catch Tushoski. Even before the spin, Brass was going to be hard-pressed to catch and pass Tushoski. He had the superior car Saturday night and won the feature and the title. The WADTS Street Stocks feature was much more cut and dried. Kurtti led Kallas by a point entering the main event so the equation was simple. It was a match race between the two with the winner earning, at the very least, a share of the track title. Kallas raced by Nick Visser for the lead on a lap four restart, but Kurtti was coming in second by lap six. Kurtti made the pass and dominated the last half of the race, gaining a full straightaway advantage and putting the wraps on the track title. In the TNT Stingers, LaFreniere won the race, passing for the lead on lap four. Barlowskis car suffered transmission problems the night before in Tomahawk, but he was still able to soldier the car out for both the heat and the feature. That was all he needed to do to claim his first TNT Speedway track title. The 2011 season will end at TNT Speedway Saturday, Sept. 10, with the 17th annual Fall Special. There will be shortened races in all classes, plus mechanics and womens races. There will be an earlier start time for the event with hot laps at 6 p.m. and racing at 6:45 p.m. The awards gathering will be held that night.

The Sugar Camp/Three Lakes U16 softball team recently placed second out of 12 teams in a girls fastpitch tournament in Two Rivers. In a pool play, the girls defeated South Shore Rise, an all-star team from southeast Wisconsin, 3-2, before beating perennial division powerhouse Ashwaubenon 10-0 for the No. 2 tournament seed. In the single-elimination bracket of the tournament, the Sugar Camp and Three Lakes girls knocked off Division 2 Shawano 8-0 and Divi-
sion 3 2010 State champions Peshtigo 7-0, which put them in the tournaments championship game. The girls went up against 2011 Division 2 State qualifiers Oconto Falls, but fell short of victory in a 4-0 loss. Three Lakes Bluejays pitcher Zana Lorbetske was dominant in the tournament, striking out 51 batters and giving up only one earned run in the five games. She pitched a no-hitter against Peshtigo. We went into the tournament to improve and get a better understanding of what high-quality softball is, with the idea of building on that for the 2012 Three Lakes High
School softball season, said Bluejays coach Tony Lorbetske. But after our success in pool play, we built a lot of confidence and knew we could compete with or beat anyone there. Lorbetske said half of the team consisted of players younger than 14, who have not played high school softball yet. The younger girls grew more and more confident as the tournament progressed, said Lorbetske. They learned from their mistakes, but more importantly, they went out and made plays. I was very proud of all the girls. Coach Lorbetske said he and the team are looking forward to the 2012 season.
The second-place softball team included, front row, from left, Erin Pazinski, Zana Lorbetske, Maddie Lorbetske, Brigette Schmidt, Brooke Welch and Lauren Sowinski; back row, coach

Time to renew commitment to student safety, education
Buses will be running again, school bells will be ringing and students at Northland Pines, Phelps and Three Lakes will return to the classroom this Thursday, Sept. 1. Its time once again to think about highway safety, because nearly three months have passed since motorists saw students waiting for buses on narrow rural roads, crowding crosswalks or biking to school. State law dictates that all motorists stop their vehicles when they see flashing red lights and an illuminated stoplight on a bus, even on the four-lane highways that surround the city of Eagle River. Though nobody would knowingly risk the life of a child, injury or death could result if motorists dont think twice about the bus stop they might encounter over the next hill. Its also time to renew our commitment to education. Districts here contain some of the most experienced, most dedicated professionals in education today. Our teachers and administrators are second to none. They say it takes a community to educate a child, and so it is with any school system public or private. Its a big investment that pays big dividends here, as Wisconsins schools are the envy of the nation. We have one of the highest high school graduation rates. On the ACT college entrance exam, the states high school seniors have ranked in the nations top three for 20 years. The entire community should take pride in knowing that theyve helped organize and support what are some of the best school districts in Wisconsin. Our tax dollars are not being wasted on mediocre education, but instead are being invested in the leaders of tomorrow our children.
* * * SOME OF MY readers might remember a time when salesmen still went door-todoor. Those days have been gone for some time, but I was sent this story which shows the determination of a young salesman and the equal determination of a potential customer. A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day and was confronted by a welldressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner. Good morning, said the young man. If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in highpowered vacuum cleaners. Go away! said the old lady. Im broke and havent got any money! And she proceeded to close the door. Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open. Dont be too hasty! he said. Not until you have at least seen my demonstration. And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet. Now, if this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder. The old lady stepped back and said, Well, let me get you a fork, cause they cut off my electricity this morning.

We need a universal language
SOMETIMES ITS hard to decide what to think and write about. What I do is turn to the first thing that occurs to me. For instance, I might be able to make something out of the difference between the words some time and sometime and even sometimes. Im not sure, but I think the word sometimes would come closer to being slang than regular usage. American grammar and word usage puzzles me sometimes, and I can imagine if I was born in China or Japan, where there are so many more characters in their languages, how difficult that would be to master. Im surprised by the sheer number of languages we have in the world. I read somewhere that there are almost 8,000 languages in the world. Some obscure languages are spoken only by a handful of people, and languages like Chinese, English and Spanish are spoken by hundreds of millions of people around the globe. Many more people speak Chinese than English, for example, yet most great Chinese literature probably hasnt been translated into English. Im sure there are books in Mandarin Chinese comparable, to say, Mark Twain, The Iliad or Gone With the Wind. I wouldnt be surprised if China had produced a writer like Shakespeare and India harbored a Hemingway. If so, I wonder if their work has been translated into English so I can read it. I dont care what the original language was. Just tell me a good story. Im probably missing out on reading some of the great Chinese writers of our time. In school, I studied French, but unfortunately, I didnt learn enough of it to be able to talk to the French people when I served in France during World War II (although I always had the To ROONEY, Pg. 19A

tory. The Turtle-Flambeau was first established when the Chippewa and Flambeau Improvement Co. built a dam on the Flambeau River in 1926, a dam that flooded 16 natural lakes and, with additional dams, eventually backed up over 14,000 acres of water with over 114 miles of shoreline. The state of Wisconsin bought the flowage and surrounding lands in 1990 and, with a 300-foot aesthetic zone completely surrounding the flowage, it is guaranteed to always remain in a wild state.

the helm was Zack Wilson, a Mercer native who now is a naturalist for the Discovery Center in Manitowish Waters. Zack, I think, knows every one of the 195 islands and every nook and cranny of the flowage as well, and does a fine job of entertaining and educating people who go on one of his three-hour tours. As we motored quietly among some of the many islands, he pointed out the immense damage done by a tornado that roared over the flowage. Ample evidence of the storms intensity was left behind in the form of white pines 2 foot in diameter being snapped off 30 feet up, and piles and piles of tree debris jack-strawed all over the islands. Where eagles used to nest in pines, circumstances have forced them to adapt. We spotted one nest 40 feet up in an
oak where the birds found a convenient large crotch just under the crown of the tree to begin building a new nest. The flowage has long supported a goodly number of ospreys as well, but nesting pairs have dropped from the high 20s to just eight. There are various theories as to the reasons why, one of the most prevalent being a large increase in eagles and the resulting competition for territories. Ospreys usually come out the losers in such competitions. It also seems as though there are now too many loons for the available territories on the flowage. While most animal lovers think of the loon as this wonderful symbol of peace in nature, they are actually quite vicious in their interactions with each other. With a lot of birds crowded into small territories there are lots of fights, many of them to the death, as birds stab and drown each other during prolonged battles. Loons are also not mates for
life as many would like to think. Tagging studies have shown that in some cases young birds, once mature, return to the flowage and drive off or kill Daddy in order to mate with Mommy. Many loons on the flowage failed three times at nesting this summer, said Zack, with heavy black fly infestations driving birds off the nests repeatedly in June. Even chicks that hatch dont have it easy in areas of such high loon congregation. Young birds that swim into neighboring territories may well be on their last swim as adult birds of that territory will attack and kill them. Of course, thats the way life goes in the wild. A couple of winters ago, as my cousin ice fished with a friend on the flowage, they watched a deer bolt off an island and hot foot it across the ice. Right behind it came one large wolf, and it didnt take long for the wolf to catch up, jump the deer and in mere seconds slash its throat wide
open as the fishermen watched from a couple hundred yards away. We didnt see any such life and death scenes, although Doug McKay was lucky enough to see a lake sturgeon surface like a porpoise a little ways from the boat, something the huge fish do on a regular basis at times during the summer. As I looked around during our tour, a plan began to take shape in my mind. There are over 60 campsites on the flowage, many on islands, most of which are available firstcome, first-served with no fee. You might think 14,000 acres of water would rule out canoes like mine, but with six landing accesses there are campsites well within reach for such craft. Im thinking that sometime next year my wife and I may well find ourselves on one of those islands for a weekend of quiet camping, fishing and wildlife watching. And to think, it only took me 62 years to find the place.
BY MARY LAZICH ___________ Across the country, college students are finishing summer jobs and internships and gearing up for another school year. As students return to campus, they will encounter changes including new roommates, new professors or new buildings. Students will also find other changes on campus due to the recently passed state budget. Wisconsin is fortunate to have a good public university system. The University of Wisconsin (UW) system boasts 13 four-year and 13 two-year campuses. UWMadison, the systems flagship institution, is regarded as one of the finest research institutions in the country. However, as budgets shrink, the UW system receives less money. Gov. Doyles 2009-11 state bud-
get reduced funding to the UW system by more than $100 million, and reduced funding further as the states economic condition worsened. Gov. Scott Walker worked with then-Chancellor Biddy Martin to develop a comprehensive plan, dubbed the New Badger Partnership, and proposed removing UW-Madison from the UW system and provide UW-Madison flexibility as a public authority. Opponents, not wanting to see the flagship university leave the fold, proposed an alternative Wisconsin Idea Partnership extending funding and operational flexibility to four-year campuses. Ultimately, a UW-Madison public authority did not prevail because some believed it was just too bold and large an undertaking for the state budget pro-
cess. At the same time, the realities of a poor economy and a budget t h a t reduced spending resulted in some increased expenditure flexibility for the UW. The budget approach used during the past actually created bureaucratic disincentives for UW system campuses to find efficiencies. The budget appropriated funds for specific purposes, making for use it or lose it budgeting. The recent state budget gives campuses more budgeting flexibility. Each UW system campus will receive funding in the form of a block grant and will not be penalized for creating effiTo LAZICH, Pg. 20A

ciencies. Each campus administration will be able to exert more local control during their budget process. In addition, the state budget created a segregated fund for the UW System to ensure money meant for higher education is not raided for other government projects. Part of allowing more flexibility for the UW System is ensuring campuses are held accountable for the results of their performance. Campuses are now required to submit annual accountability reports to the Legislature and governor. These reports will help elected officials track key issues such as overall academic performance, accessibility to low-income students and Wisconsin students in general, and information about each campus benefits to the community. Armed with information from accountability reports, admin-
istrators will be able to identify best practices at other campuses, and elected officials will be able to consider granting highperforming campuses additional flexibility. While a UW-Madison public authority was considered by some to be a large undertaking during the state budget process, the core issue is still
worth examining. Since 1971, the University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Universities system have been combined, and the UW System has not changed significantly. Is the current UW System the most effective way to structure state-funded higher education? That is the question a 17member task force is expected
to answer. It will study whether to restructure the UW System. The task force will also make a recommendation as to whether to grant additional flexibilities to UW System campuses. The budget called for the task force report by the end of 2011; however, upcoming legislation is expected to move the due date for the report to the
end of 2012. By allowing flexibility while requiring increased accountability, the changes to the UW system provide all the right incentives. As a result, the University of Wisconsin system will continue to provide a top-notch education with greater efficiency. Public higher education in Wisconsin is excellent. Like any-
thing else, not keeping abreast of rapidly changing conditions can threaten quality. Considering new ways to structure, the UW System can improve the quality of UW education and improve UW finances. Mary Lazich is a Wisconsin Republican senator from New Berlin.

Lenharts creative work goes behind watercolor paintings
___________
BY GAY SCHEFFEN
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW
___________
Karen Lenhart walked down the inclined drive from her house, Cisco Lake glistening from beyond the sprawling deck and timbered shoreline. Smiling as she moved with grace and purpose, accompanied by her yellow Lab, Bently, one could see immediately that this is a woman with a great sense of herself, a confidence which comes from hard work and accomplishment. I just am who I am, she said. She pointed out the apparatus and the shed in which her husband, Philip, makes maple syrup each year. There is a pole barn and a large building for his workshop and storage. Flowers are everywhere on the Upper Peninsula property. Im an avid gardener, Lenhart said. A path winds through bushes and plantings, adorned here and there by wood sculptures, up to the entrance of the Lenharts inviting home. The house has been evolving since they first bought the small cabin more than 40 years ago. When the Lenharts married, they first lived in Delavan. Philip taught wood shop and a fellow teacher invited them to vacation in his northern Wisconsin home. We spent more time there than he did, Lenhart said, so we decided to buy a place of our own. We bought the cabin in 68 and started adding on in 1970. We did it all ourselves. Did they literally do it all themselves? Everything from the foundation up? Yah yah, yah, she answered, the little affirmation punctuating many of her sentences. You should have seen us sitting on a wall, reading the how-to book on foundations. Phillip can do everything, she said. A tour of the house began with Lenharts studio. The first area is for framing, matting and mounting prints. Many of her paintings lean up against one another on the floor. There are some abstracts, not typical of the Lenhart work one usually sees. Most of my abstracts are commissioned, she said. She is working on one on Yupo, a brand-name paper with a plastic surface which is slippery to

work with and creates an unusual look. Her well-known paintings of foxes, wolves, deer and birch trees are everywhere. On this day, she is doing a commissioned painting of a large birch with rocks and wildflowers. The table where she paints is in a corner of the room. There is a window in front and to the right with a view of the lake. A box above the work area provides color-corrected light. There are books and photos and clippings. Most artists save a lot of reference materials, she said. Lenharts favorite medium is watercolor. She paints from both memory and photographs. Although my photos serve to initiate the creative process, once I begin painting, it is the spirit of the subject that guides my creativity, she said. The rest of the house has paintings on the walls that are not all Lenharts. She is happily surrounded by some of her favorite artists, including Steve Hanks, known as one of the finest watercolor artists in the country. The family photographs are there on the refrigerator. She has two grandchildren a girl and a boy. There is a warm mix of antiques and cozy furnishings. I like old things, she said. Native American-inspired wall hangings with willow, pony beads and feathers are among
Lenharts creations. There are also her carvings of Father Christmas. She enjoys wood work and has carved many walking sticks as well. The Adirondack chairs by the fire pit are more of her work and she made the bent willow chair in the sunroom. She learned the process in a class at Trees For Tomorrow in Eagle River. My whole thing is I could take classes forever. I am interested in every form of art, she said. Lenhart was born in Clintonville on a dairy farm. She grew up with four sisters and two brothers. I was the biggest and the oldest and did the bulk of the farmwork, she said. I always liked to draw mainly horses. In high school, I took art class. There was a gifted girl in class and the instructor spent all of his time with her. But the gifted girl never did anything with her talent and it was Lenhart who eventually followed through. After high school, Lenhart moved to Madison and lived first with an aunt and uncle and then in an apartment with girlfriends. She worked in the circulation department of a newspaper. She married, moved to Delavan and had children. In 1970, the family returned to Madison and, when the girls were in fourth and fifth grades, Lenhart attended UW-Madison for her
bachelor of science in art education. Ultimately, Lenharts husband was laid off work as a shop teacher. Since the family needed insurance, Lenhart had to give up teaching and went to work for the National Guardian Life Insurance Co. She retired as the vice president and director of operations in 2001. Since their permanent move to the home on the Cisco Chain in Watersmeet, Mich., Lenhart has committed full time to her art. She has studied with Karlyn Holman and others. She is excited about attending an upcoming class in October with Morton Solberg at the Richeson School of Art in Kimberly. Lenhart is the proverbial rolling stone who gathers no moss but if she did gather moss, shed surely create something wonderful with it. She also is the chairwoman of Art Impressions in Land O Lakes, the secretary of the Artistree Gallery in Land O Lakes and the secretary of Land O Lakes Area Artisans Inc. She belongs to Headwaters Art League, the Manito Art League and the Wisconsin Regional Artists Association. She is an associate member of the Lakeland Art League in Minocqua and the National Watercolor Society. A monthlong show in September at the Three Lakes Center for the Arts in the Northwoods will feature several paintings by Lenhart and other artists from the Artistree Gallery in Land O Lakes. A reception for these artists will be this Thursday, Sept. 1, from 5 to 6 p.m. with wine and appetizers served.

Larkin serves on FACT board
Hollie Larkin, a newly graduated senior of Northland Pines High School in Eagle River, recently concluded a year of service on the Fighting Against Corporate Tobacco (FACT) youth board of directors. FACT is Wisconsins youthdriven tobacco-prevention program. There are currently more than 5,500 FACT members statewide. As a FACT board member, Larkin recruited new members, implemented actions in her community and was instrumental in the creation of the Manipulicious advocacy campaign. This campaign exposes how the tobacco industry uses colorful packaging and candy flavoring to sell its tobacco products. Its been a lot of work, but I really feel my voice was heard on an issue I care about, said Larkin. Since FACT began in 2001, youths like Larkin have been working to reduce tobaccos effects on Wisconsin youths. According to FACT organizers, over the last 10 years, the smoking rate among Wisconsin high school youths fell 46%, however, an estimated one in five Wisconsin high school youths are still smoking. Thats a statistic FACT members are committed to reducing. For more information, visit fightwithfact.com.
