Safety issues, economy top Phelps ATV debate


___________ BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

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

Comment period for wolf delisting extended 30 days


Service wants more input on two-species possibility

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.

This graphic shows how the Great Headwaters Trails system will connect the communities of

Conover, Phelps, Land O Lakes, Eagle River and St. Germain.

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.

OBITUARIES
Helen Murphy Banner
H e l e n Murphy Banner died peacefully in her home on Aug. 25, 2011. She was 90 years old. A Chicago native who BANNER attended St. Brendans Grammar School and Loretta High School, she raised a family of five with her husband, John Banner, in the community of Sauganash, and resided in Northbrook since 1974. Helen lost Jack, her husband of more than 70 years, on Aug. 6, 2011. She spent the remainder of her days with close family members in the wake of his absence. Helen met Jack as he played for a DePaul University basketball game; soon after, he was regularly driving to the south side of Chicago to court her. They were married in the summer of 42. They spent the early years of their marriage stationed on a naval base in Bay City, Mich., where they were blessed with the birth of their first son, Dennis Banner. After the war, they settled in Sauganash, where they actively belonged to Queen of All Saints Parish. It was a true love story. The lifelong friends that they made there provided an extended family to Helen that will continue on for generations. Helen was an active volunteer, most notably as past president of the St. Vincent De Paul Settlement Womens Auxiliary. She was a loyal friend, an avid reader and a fabulous cook whose recipes will live on. Above all, Helen was a devoted mother who could light up a room with a radiant smile. Through lifes obstacles and lifes blessings, she maintained the utmost state of grace.

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

A memorial will be established in her name.

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.

Cheryl Ann Running


Heaven is a little brighter now as the Lord called home one of His sweetest children, Cheryl Ann Running, on Aug. 22, 2011. Though her sudden departure leaves us grieving, it is with thanksgiving that we remember Cheryls life among us. Cheryl, a lifelong Sugar Camp resident, was born May 29, 1962, to Robert and Betty Stefonek. She graduated from Three Lakes High School in 1980. Soon after, her love story with Timothy J. Running began. Cheryl and Tim were married on Sept. 14, 1985, in Sugar Camp. Tim was the love of Cheryls life and her best friend. Together they had two sons, Grant and Lance. Cheryl delighted in motherhood, and never missed an opportunity to tell others how proud she was of her boys. Cheryl had a spunky sense of humor, and was always ready and willing to give of herself. She uniquely built relationships with those whom she worked for and with. To know her was to love her, and Cheryl was cherished by many wonderful friends. Cheryl leaves behind a legacy of love with those who survive her, including her devoted husband, Tim; her adoring sons, Grant, 23, and Lance, 20. She will be deeply missed by her father, Bob Stefonek; and her siblings, Bruce (Jan) Stefonek and Susan Tobin. She also is survived by inlaws, Jim and Shirley Running and their children, Rick (Lisa) Running, Russ (Debby) Running, Mike (Traci) Running and Lisa (Jack) Wales. Cheryl will be affectionately remembered by many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. Cheryls family takes great comfort in knowing that she was joyfully reunited with her beloved mother, Betty Stefonek. Remembering that Cheryl often declared, My Timmer, he makes me laugh every day. I am the luckiest girl in the world, I have the best life. A celebration of Cheryls life was held with services at St. Kunegunda Catholic Church in Sugar Camp on Friday, Aug. 26, 2011. Visitation was held at Gaffney-Busha Funeral Home in Eagle River, and at the church. Though she was just a small woman, the void she leaves behind feels immense. As we pray for Gods peace in our hearts, let us seek to honor Cheryls memory by holding our loved ones close. Always thinking of others, Cheryl had previously expressed her wishes to be an organ donor. May God bless those on the receiving end of her final act of generosity. Bible verse: John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Vilas County Court report

Lac du Flambeau man charged in burglary of Maulson home


An 18-year-old Lac du Flambeau man, who allegedly took firearms and ice augers from Tribal Chairman Tom Maulsons residence, had his adjourned initial appearance rescheduled in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. Steven R. Gukich, charged with burglary of a building or dwelling and theft of movable property, will make his adjourned initial appearance Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. Gukich allegedly took several firearms and two ice augers from the Maulson residence at 14255 Longs Point Lane in Lac du Flambeau between May 23 and May 25. The initial appearance was adjourned because Gukich no longer qualifies for a public defender as he apparently can get money from a trust to hire his own attorney. He also faces a misdemeanor theft charge from the incident. Meanwhile, Vilas Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III was told Gukich also breached a previous deferred entry of judgment for which he pleaded guilty to two charges each of misdemeanor theft and criminal damage to property, all party to a crime. The 24month deferred entry of judgment was offered to Gukich July 9, 2010. In other felony cases, Jesse Allen Janssen, 27, of St. Germain, charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana, possession of marijuana, receiving stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia, had an initial appearance adjourned to Aug. 29. He is free on a $1,000 signature bond and is not to possess drugs or drug paraphernalia. According to the complaint, Janssen was arrested July 28 at a town of St. Germain residence after investigators found 1.8 pounds of marijuana under a bed. He said he found marijuana while on a pheasant hunting trip in Pierre, S.D. The charge of receiving stolen property stems from a 7mm gun he allegedly found on his grandfathers property in Minocqua. Bobby J.T. Frahm, 23, of Rhinelander, charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, had a pretrial conference set for Sept. 27 at 11 a.m. Officers carried out a search warrant at 3729 Larrabee Lane in Conover July 28, 2010, and found two plastic bags with a total of 29.2 grams of marijuana and 0.5 grams of marijuana within a steel grinder. They also found a glass pipe with burnt resins and residue and a metal container with traces of green flakes. Carrie A. Spiering, 33, of Lac du Flambeau, who was placed on probation for five years after pleading guilty to two counts of forgery July 20, 2006, was in Vilas County Circuit Court last week for a probation review hearing. She was ordered to pay unpaid restitution of $33.43, as well as other courtordered financial obligations of $355. The judgment was rendered and granted. Loreen M. Reilly, 46, of Lac du Flambeau, who pleaded guilty May 9 to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, fourth offense in five years, had a sentencing hearing adjourned to Oct. 10 at 2:15 p.m. Reillys attorney requested the adjournment due to her mothers health problems. A charge of operating a motor vehicle after revocation and two traffic citations were dismissed in the Oct. 15, 2010, case. Dawn M. Pawlak, 36, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with delivery of schedule I or II narcotics, party to a crime, had a plea/sentencing hearing set for Oct. 13 at 2:30 p.m. Pawlak allegedly sold a clear plastic bag of marijuana to investigators for $50 in a controlled purchase Aug. 23, 2010. Jonathan J. Stone, 22, of Rhinelander, pleaded no contest to an amended charge of possessing a prescription drug without a prescription and was fined $330.50. He was ordered to pay $50 per month starting Sept. 15. Stone, who was out on bond for a felony case in Oneida County, was originally charged with manufacturing or delivery of prescription drugs March 9 in Lac du Flambeau. Officers seized two Clonazepam tablets, a schedule IV controlled substance, from Stone at Lake of the Torches Casino. Lisa M. Schuman, 43, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with substantial battery, party to a crime Sept. 27, 2010, in Lac du Flambeau, had a plea/sentencing hearing set for Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. She remains free on a $500 signature bond. Schuman, and her daughter, Leila Schuman, 24, allegedly battered another woman, age 26, on a bridge on Indian Village Road about 3 p.m. Sept. 27, 2010. The victim said the Schumans pulled her hair, threw her to the ground and kicked and punched her. According to the complaint, Lisa Schuman said the woman wrote things on Facebook about her daughter. Officers said the victim had swelling on the left side of her face and was bleeding from her left knee. The woman also said she was dizzy and had problems seeing. Shasta Star Klingman, 35, of Watersmeet, Mich., charged with substantial battery, party to a crime, had a pretrial conference set for Oct. 4 at 11:15 a.m. She allegedly hit another woman with a closed fist at a bar in Land O Lakes about 1:50 a.m. Dec. 5, 2010. The 33-year-old woman sustained a fractured eye socket.

Police cite complaints of cemetery vandalism


The Eagle River Police Department said it has recently received complaints of vandalism and theft at the cemetery in Eagle River, with a number of previously unknown incidents brought to the agencys attention. Police said they suspect that the vast majority of these incidents are occurring during the late-evening hours. The offenses include vandalism to monuments and thefts of small statues, solar lights and American flags from the graves of veterans.

VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS

NEWS Forecast by AAA anticipates 31.5 million Labor Day travelers


The AAA forecasts 31.5 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the Labor Day holiday weekend, a 2.4% decrease from the 32.3 million people who traveled one year ago. The Labor Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, Sept. 1, to Monday, Sept. 5. In Wisconsin, more than 660,000 people are expected to travel Labor Day weekend, a 2.6% decrease compared to last year, according to the AAA forecast. Of those, nearly 600,000 people plan to travel by auto while 25,000 will travel by air, with the remainder traveling by other modes of transportation. The decrease in expected travelers is the result of a mixed economic outlook, consumer uncertainty regarding the economy and recent downturns in economic factors that affect discretionary income, according to AAA. Consumer confidence in the economy has been trending down in recent months and, according to a survey of traveler intentions, the share of travelers from the lower income bracket is expected to decline from 41% in 2010 to 37% in 2011. The following projections were also made by AAA: Automobile travel up Approximately 27.3 million people (87% of holiday travelers) plan to take to the nations roadways this Labor Day weekend. This is a slight increase of 0.5% from the 27.2 million Labor Day 2010 auto travelers. Decrease in air travel Almost 2.5 million leisure travelers (8% of holiday travelers) will fly during the Labor Day weekend, a 1.9% decrease from 2010. Rising fuel costs, combined with steady air travel demand, have resulted in rising airfares over the past few months. Other modes of travel (trains, watercraft, multimodal travel) will make up the remaining 5% of total person-trips (1.7 million travelers). Increased hotel rates Hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond lodgings are expected to increase 6% from one year ago with travelers spending an average of $148 per night compared to $139 last year. Weekend daily car rental rates will average $43, a 7% decrease from one year ago. Travel distance down The average distance traveled by Americans during the Labor Day weekend is expected to be 608 miles, only slightly less than last years average travel distance of 635 miles. Median spending is expected to be $702, largely unchanged from $697 last year. Fuel and transportation costs combine to consume the largest share of holiday spending (27%), followed by accommodations (22%), food and beverages (21%), shopping (13%), entertainment and recreation (12%), and other costs (5%). Impact of gas prices Travelers in Wisconsin will find gas prices averaging $3.63 per gallon, 95 cents more than a year ago. Seventy-one percent of intended Labor Day holiday travelers said gasoline prices would not impact their travel plans. For the remaining 29% who said gas prices would impact their travel plans, 20% plan to economize in other areas, while the remaining 9% are divided between changing their mode of travel and taking shorter trips. Travelers concerned about how fuel prices will impact their travel budget can download the free, global positioning system-based AAA TripTik Mobile application to their iPhone or Android device to compare prices for all grades of gasoline at nearby stations. Travelers may also use AAA TripTik Mobile to get maps and directions, AAAapproved and diamond-rated hotel and restaurant information, plus details about attractions, events and approved auto repair facilities. Travel information is also accessible to all travelers through the Travel Guides and TripTik Travel Planner on AAA.com. Projections by AAA are based on economic forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight. The economic research and consulting firm teamed with AAA in 2009 to jointly analyze travel trends during the major holidays. AAA has reported on holiday travel trends for more than two decades. The complete AAA/IHS Global Insight 2011 Labor Day holiday travel forecast can be found at AAA.com/news.

Eagle River police join campaign on OWI driving


The Eagle River Police Department will be out in force, along with other law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin and the rest of the nation, for the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown on drunken drivers through Monday, Sept. 5. Drunken driving continues to be one of the most destructive and deadly crimes in Wisconsin, according to Eagle River Chief of Police Mark Vander Bloomen. Last year, 220 people were killed and more than 3,500 injured in nearly 5,800 alcohol-related traffic crashes. There were more than 40,000 convictions for drunken driving in Wisconsin last year, so law enforcement agencies are certainly finding and arresting impaired motorists. But too many people still make the irresponsible and dangerous decision to get behind the wheel while impaired, said Vander Bloomen. Every officer in our agency has zero tolerance for drunken drivers. It doesnt matter who you are, where you are going or what time of day if youre driving while impaired, you will be arrested and will face devastating consequences, such as major embarrassment, stiff penalties and possibly jail time, said the police chief. Driving drunk will be a decision youll regret for the rest of your life, if you are lucky enough to live. Under a state law enacted last year, first-offense operating while intoxicated (OWI) drivers who were convicted with a blood/breath alcohol level of .15 or higher and all repeat drunken drivers are required to have an ignition interlock device on every vehicle they own, have registered in their name, or drive. Ignition interlock devices ensure drivers are sober before they can start their vehicle. The law also makes firstoffense OWI a criminal offense if there is a passenger younger than age 16 in the vehicle. Drunken driving is entirely preventable, said Vander Bloomen. During the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown and throughout the year, our goal is not to arrest more drunken drivers. We simply are trying to save lives and prevent injuries. If we can deter people from getting behind the wheel when theyre not sober, we will make progress toward the goal of reducing the number of preventable traffic deaths to zero in Wisconsin. The Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown started Aug. 19.

More than 200 people attended the Phelps ATV forum and hearing in the Phelps School Monday night. Citizens had an opportunity to

give their opinions on the subject of ATV routes on town and county roads. --Photo By Ken Anderson

ATV: Phelps residents address town board


FROM PAGE 1A
the ATV ordinance this fall. Supporting ATVs Speaking for the ordinance was ATV supporter Dan Swiecichowski, who stressed the economics of ATV recreation. Our town and county have done little to benefit from ATVs and this is supported by the Phelps Chamber of Commerce board of directors, Swiecichowski said. The ratio of registered ATVs to snowmobiles in Wisconsin is 3:1 in favor of ATVs. A survey of spending for ATV users in the northcentral counties was $84,536,000 with the average spending per trip of $475. Swiecichowski pointed out county sales tax revenue dropped in Iron County, which has ATV trails and routes, by 2% from 2008 to 2010, while Price County, which also allows ATVs, dropped 8%. He said Vilas County, which doesnt have ATV routes or trails, saw its sales tax revenue drop by 15% during the same period. He also referred to letters sent to the county board that are in a binder available to read in the county clerks office in Eagle River. As of June, there were 248 letters in support and 39 against and in a nonscientific survey of the Vilas County News-Review; of 1,154 entries, 58.5% were in favor of ATVs, Swiecichowski reported. The paper did not publish the results of the Website poll because people could vote unlimited times. Addressing safety issues, Swiecichowski said there has to be route signs of a certain size, caution signs, speed-limit signs, signs reminding riders to stay on the pavement, and the need for certification of users. ATVs work; there are little or no problems; we can work together to make this work, he concluded. Against the ordinance Speaking against the ordinance was ATV opponent Roland Alger, who dealt on four topics safety, state outdoor recreation plan, public input and a trial period. Manufacturers information cautions use of ATVs on paved roads and should be avoided, said Alger. Speed limits for ATVs are lower than other vehicles and on 9.25 miles of county roads to be used, seven miles have double yellow lines. On town roads, speed limits vary and this creates the opportunities for accidents. The speed differentials and hilly roads are not conducive for ATVs. Alger went on to say Vilas County is a county of lakes and there are 41, wholly or partially, within Phelps. He said the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, categorized quiet recreation first, asking does this warrant ATVs? We had a county referendum on trails and it was no by a wide margin, Alger pointed out, knowing the issue in Phelps is not trails, but routes on existing roads. The NewsReview results werent published because survey standards were not met and therefore not valid. He also asked if someone could show him where an ordinance that had a trial period resulted in it ending. We already have ATV problems in Vilas County with 42 complaints to the sheriff s department and 36 in Oneida County. Vilas County is unique. What level of risk do we want? he asked. Our roads are curvy, hilly and dangerous. Manufacturers warn about using ATVs on paved roads. Why do they ignore it? Public comments Phelps residents and landowners individually were allowed to address the town board and audience on how they felt about ATVs on town roads. Most comments had to do again with safety issues. Mike Schindler brought up the manufacturers caution on using paved roads due to the nature of the ATV tires, as did Pat Konieczka, who also was opposed to the noise. In winter my windows are closed and in summer my windows are open, Konieczka said. I have breathing problems and ATVs will force me back to the pollution I was in in Milwaukee. Lori Gerlach was also against ATVs due to noise, while Walter Baer asked why his nonpaved road was on the list. Many people on West Shore Road said it shouldnt have been made a snowmobile route, let alone an ATV route. Linda Youngquist said the road has no edges for ATVs, while Bruce Gates said he walks his dog on South Shore Road every day and has seen mothers with baby strollers, children on bikes and roller blades, and once a buggy being pulled by a horse. He asked, Where would an ATV get out of the way? Another safety issue was mentioned by Lu Ann Gardinier, who said no one has addressed school bus issues on these routes. Quita Sheehan worried about invasive species, saying People choose to be ATV free in Vilas County and to lose that would be a race to the bottom, environmentally. Supporting ATVs, Judy Wiita, who rides ATVs in Michigan, cautioned about speculating by people what ATVs would do. Robin Vold on Coveyville Lane said he surveyed its residents and reported of 17 residents, all were in favor but two, who had no opinion. Tuckey Requa said that she looks at trucks with ATVs in the back fueling up at the convenience store and heading to Michigan up Highway 17 and driving the revenue over the border. Eric Smith reminded the people that Snowmobiles are part of our economy and culture and theres lots of potential with ATVs. Bud Petrick, who has lived on Highway 17 for 30 years, had snowmobiles in his yard every winter, but never had an ATV in my yard. Motel owner Rex Moore indicated they need revenue in Phelps because theres not many business owners and I can tell you why, theres not many of us left. But Pete Moline of Afterglow Lake Resort, which caters to silent sports recreationists, said he will have to close down the snowmobile trail that goes across his property. That brought a response from Rob Anderson of Hillside Resort, saying that the ultimatum of Pete really hurts me.

Student open enrollment picture brighter for Northland Pines: Richie


___________

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.

Town of Cloverland honors lake volunteers


Fifty-eight lake volunteers from 17 lakes in the town of Cloverland were honored at the towns Volunteer Appreciation Picnic Aug. 20. Three volunteers, Rich Drallmeier, Ed Kroggel and Carl Pfeiffer, received recognition awards. Drallmeier, a resort owner on Pickerel Lake, makes sure his guests have clean boats before they go into the lake, and has put in more than 300 hours as a Clean Boats, Clean Waters (CBCW) monitor over the last three years. He is a model for how a resort owner can show care for his lake, said Jeff Currie, who presented the awards. Kroggel has been active in the Muskellunge Lake Association since its formation and coordinates the stocking of that lake each year. Over the years, he has often taken the initiative to man the Muskellunge public landing as a CBCW inspector. Pfeiffer has collected Secchi disk water-clarity data for Nelson Lake since 2005. Last year, he began collecting water-level data using a fixed benchmark on the shore. And this year, he contributed a pH meter to the lake and is using it to collect pH readings every time he takes Secchi disk readings. Town Lakes Committee Chairman Marty Ketterer expressed his thanks to the volunteers at the picnic, which was attended by about 30 Cloverland residents and held at the Cloverland Town Hall. Food was provided by Justine White-Richards, Janis Gerds, Connie Turner, Glen Johnson and Ann Currie. This summers town of Cloverland CBCW and Citizen Lake Montoring Network volunteers included (lake in bold): Aspen, Kurt Waldhuetter; Brazell, Sandy Lotto; Boot, Roger Gerds, Janis Gerds, Bruce Erdmann and Linda Erdmann; Bullfrog, Larry Black and Caryl Pfeiffer; Chickaree, Garry Schedin; Finley, Evy Liska; Lotus, Dan Paretsky; McDonald, Tom Rulseh; Muskellunge, Gail Anderson, Elsie Dillinger, Bob Hodkiewicz, Roger Johnston, Ed Kroggel, John Kurhajec, Pat McKean, Kathleen Pallardy, Bob and Judy Peterson, Bill and Lillis Raboin, Jeff Rappold, Brett and Deanna Roecker, Dennis Rydzewski, Tony Santini, Dennis Schumacher, Justine WhiteRichards and Ron Richards; Nelson, Jeff and Ann Currie, Dave Long, Jim Lynn and Carl Pfeiffer; Perch, Connie Turner; Pickerel, Darryl Blink, Rich Drallmeier, Jim and Barb Elleson, Glen Johnson, Chuck Spitz, Cindy Thompson and Jim Tenorio; Rice, Barb Franquelli and Robert Winter; Seneca, Marsha Jones; Snipe, Kim Genich, Terry Howard, Noel Junkunc, Marty Ketterer and Willa Schmitt; Sunset, Mike and Carol Pekarek and Joe Spitz; and Tepee, Jeff Miller.

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.

Gov. Walker appoints Scocos as new secretary of WDVA


Gov. Scott Walker announced last week that he has selected John Scocos to serve as the next secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA). I consulted with many veteran organizations throughout the state in choosing the next WDVA secretary, said Walker. Throughout the process, it was clear that John would be an outstanding secretary and that Jason was also an impressive candidate. Scocos served two tours in Iraq as a highly decorated officer and is currently in the U.S. Army Retired Reserve. Walker noted Scocos is a former secretary of the WDVA. While secretary, Scocos helped guide the passage of the Wisconsin GI Bill and the creation of the Mission Welcome Home program.

Vilas discusses grievance meetings


___________

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.

OUTDOORS
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

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.

Fishing with the Guides


By George Langley

Walleyes and bass still hitting in weeds


While the cool mornings make it seem like we are entering the fall period, some warmer weather is predicted for the week ahead. This will mess up the fishing some, but there is nothing we can do about it. The water temperatures are now down into the low 70s and will drop quickly in the event of a cold front. We are now seeing turnover on some lakes, and this messy green stuff will stay suspended on these lakes until it gets decidedly cooler. Weeds are dying on many lakes in the shallower areas, but the deeper weeds are still in great shape and holding fish. Lake levels have been dropping some, because it has been basically dry in the area with the exception of thunderstorms locally. We just havent had a twoday rain for quite a while. Walleye fishing has been pretty good, with a lot of guides reporting good numbers of fish from most lakes in the area. We havent had anglers reporting large fish, but a lot of fish are still being caught in the weeds. They have been surprisingly shallow on the Chain, as shallow as 4 feet or so even on sunny days. On the deeper lakes, there have been some fish caught during the daytime in the 10- to 12-foot range in the weeds. As always, the evening fishing or early dawn has been better than midday. As far as bait goes, we have had most of our action on minnows, but leeches have still been productive on many lakes. Bass fishing has been great, with largemouths being caught on all lakes with good weed cover. Minnows (chubs) have been best as far as live bait, and spinnerbaits along with plastics have been working. These fish are deep in the weeds, so youll need to rig weedless for them. Smallies have been hitting great, with good action on all hard-bottom lakes on leeches. Nightcrawlers also have been working, and most guides have been taking some of both types of baits. Soon, minnows will be working for these fish. Those crawfish imitation crankbaits are starting to slow down in effectiveness. Muskie action has been much better throughout the area in the last week or so. That drop in the water temperature got them moving a little during the daytime, along with their night feed. Bucktails and surface baits continue to produce, along with those deeper-running rubber baits. Hope for a continued drop in water temperature to keep the muskie bite going through the Labor Day weekend. Panfish action continues to be good, with some excellent crappie fishing to go along with the good bluegill fishing daily. Look for weeds for the bluegills, and deep weeds or brush piles for the crappies. Many anglers report perch action when fishing the weeds for walleyes with minnows. Have a great Labor Day weekend on area lakes! Good luck and good fishin.

Kauranen, Markgraf win Pro-MAC on Chain


The Professional Muskie Angler Circuit (Pro-MAC) concluded an event on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes Aug. 27 and 28 with 44 legal muskies registered during tough fishing conditions. Even though the predictable dog days of summer appeared for the Pro-MAC competitors in the form of sunny skies and still winds, Eagle River muskies were eager biters, giving just about every team the chance at scoring on a legal muskie. In total, 24 muskies were registered Saturday during 10 hours of fishing, but an equally impressive 20 muskies were tallied in just six hours of competition Sunday. The less-than-stellar conditions didnt deter the winning team of Randy Kauranen and Phil Markgraf, as they would set a new World Muskie Tournament Series record for the only team ever to have two registered 44-inch class muskies in a two-day tournament in 11 years. Kauranen and Markgraf registered four muskies in total, including muskies of 411/4 inches and 423/4 inches Saturday, and 401/4 inches and 411/2 inches Sunday. The rest of the top 10 finishers in the event were as follows: Second, Ryan Bock and Tim Rutzen Jr.; third, Scott Lewandowski and Dan Dassow; fourth, David Castonia and Steve Tilque; fifth, Matt Raley and Jeff VanRemortel; sixth, John Bennett and Brent Kiedrowski; seventh, Jared Adamovich and Jeremy Barber; eighth, Bob Dekker and Chip Bottrell; ninth, Dan Buss and Todd Luedtke; and 10th, Robert Elsner and David Boreman. Second-place Bock and Rutzen has the first registered muskie of the tournament, with a 341/2-incher, but the duo didnt stop there. They also tallied a 41-inch fish at 7:54 a.m. Their Sunday total included two fish, one 37-inch and one 411/4-inch muskie. The first team that scored on three fish for the contest was third-place Lewandowski and Dassow when they added a 401/2-inch muskie at 6:39 a.m. Sunday. The duo had also caught two fish Saturday afternoon; one 351/2 inches, the other 34 inches. The fourth-place team of Castonia and Tilque doubled up Sunday with a 371/4-inch muskie and a 36-incher later that day to add to their previous tally of 351/4 inches from Saturday morning. The largest fish of the tournament was caught by Elsner and Boreman, who bagged a 451/2-inch muskie at 6:34 a.m. Saturday morning. The next tournament and the final two-day qualifier for the Pro-MAC 2011 season, will be hosted on the Three Lakes Chain Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 10 and 11. There is still time to register for the Three Lakes event via mail. Participants can also register Friday, Sept. 9, before the tilt at Jakes Bar & Grill on Highway 32 from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m. For more information about the Pro-MAC, call (715) 2774411.

Repairs begin at Otter Rapids


Beginning this week, Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) is performing concrete repair and maintenance work at the Otter Rapids dam on the Wisconsin River near Eagle River. Water levels should not be affected by the project, which should take approximately two months, according to the WPS. However, fishing access below the dam will be restricted at times. Fishing above the dam will still be allowed, unless it interferes with the town of Cloverlands removal of the bridge above the dam.

Outdoor women plan next outing


The Outdoor Womens Group will have a hike/bike outing on the Bearskin Trail in Minocqua Sunday, Sept. 11.

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

Training, conditioning can help prevent injuries


With the school year starting this week, it also means back-to-fall sports for many student athletes. Many high school athletes have returned to the strenuous sports, such as football, soccer, volleyball and cross-country after a summer of relaxing. But many younger students also participate in sports during the fall, including club activities for football, soccer and cheerleading. According to Dr. Dalie Krakowsky, podiatrist, Marshfield Clinic Minocqua, proper training and conditioning can help prevent injury, as well as help improve coordination and overall physical performance. Krakowsky said there are several methods one can use to help avoid injury. One of the most important ways to avoid sport-related injuries in all activities is to properly warm up, she said. Warming up helps to loosen muscles and prepare for an athletic activity. This includes proper stretching (but not overstretching), whether it be passive or dynamic, as well as a light cardiovascular warm-up. Other ways to help avoid injuries, according to Krakowsky, is proper training prior to competition, which is typically sport specific and managed by team coaches and trainers. Training typically includes cardiovascular fitness, strengthening and conditioning, stretching and improving flexibility, coordination and agility improvements, as well as other sport specific modalities, she said. Despite proper warming up and training, an athlete still may incur an injury during athletics. Injuries are commonly seen as a result of overuse, says Krakowsky, and are often seen as the sport season progresses. Common injuries include ankle sprains, shin splints, heel pain and stress fractures. Krakowsky said a student-athlete may want to play through pain, but that always isnt the best avenue. If your child complains of pain or has symptoms of unusual swelling, contact a health-care provider for immediate care, in order to prevent worsening of the situation, she said. Early detection of a specific injury and early treatment means your child can most likely return to their sport or activity in a timely fashion.

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.

Early plays give Eagles fast start, but Calumet wins


Ramesh has big game on offense and defense

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

Injured Bluejays to return to football field this Friday

NEWS-REVIEW ASST. EDITOR

The Three Lakes Bluejays were forced to forfeit last Friday nights game against West Iron County due to lingering player injuries from a previous game against Northland Pines. Bluejays coach Brian Fritz

said it was the first time hed had to consider canceling a game. We had six kids with injuries who needed to sit out for at least a week, he said. Obviously, six players on a roster of 22 is quite huge. Of those six, five were starters. All of the players are expected to return to the field this

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.

Miller finishes second as Bluejays place third


The Three Lakes girls cross-country team traveled to Lakeland Tuesday, Aug. 23, opening its 2011 season with a third place Ted Voigt Invitational before taking 10th at the Hodag Invitational in Rhinelander Saturday, Aug. 27. Heavy rains just prior to the start of the race in Lakeland muddied the 4,000-meter run, held on the trails surrounding Clear Lake. Six teams participated in the meet, including Lakeland, Merrill, Wisconsin Rapids, Medford, Bayfield and Three Lakes. The seven-member girls team from Three Lakes finished third, behind Lakeland and Merrill. Sophomore Natalie Miller finished second overall with a time of 17:14, behind Lakelands Delaney Fitzpatrick, who won the race with a time of 16:20. Sophomore Jena Miles, running her first cross-country race, took 16th with a time of 19:56. She was followed by teammate and new-comer Indi Yeager, a junior, who finished 20th with a time of 20:32. Junior Caitlin Vreeland-Griffin was 23rd in 20:46. Two other sophomores, Sonya Westfall and Peyton Radaj, finished in 32nd and 40th places, clocking in at 22:30 and 23:25, respectively. Junior Brooke Welch didnt compete in the race due to a knee injury. This was a good opening meet for our girls, said Three Lakes Cross Country coach Laurie Levandoski. Three of the seven runners have never participated in cross-country before. This meet provided all participants with race challenges including muddy trail conditions as well as a tough hill just past the halfway point. One hundred seventy-three girls toed the line under bright, sunny skies at the Hodag invitational in Rhinelander. Twelve teams participated in the meet, including Wausau West, Wausau East, D.C. Everest, Antigo, Lakeland, Rhinelander, Laona-Wabeno, Merrill, Northland Pines, Mosinee, Crandon and Three Lakes. Overall, Three Lakes finished in 10th place among the field of mostly Division 1 and Division 2 schools. However, the Lady Jays finished second behind Laona-Wabeno within the Division 3 bracket. Miller had an outstanding race, finishing in ninth place, with a time of 16:06. Ashley Eckhoff from Wausau East was the overall girls winner in 15:01. It was a good opportunity for Natalie to run against a field of extremely tough competition, said Levandoski. Miles was the second Three Lakes girl to cross the line, finishing in 19:24 and taking 50th overall. Yeager was able to keep Miles in her sights, finishing 54th in 19:40. Teammates Vreeland-Griffin, Westfall and Welch finished close behind in 20:11, 20:44 and 20:57, grabbing 58th-, 66th-, and 67th-place finishes, respectively. Peyton Radaj was 77th with a time of 22:55. All of the girls were happy with their performances, especially given the tough competition, said Levandoski. A large meet like this affords the girls the experience of getting off the line with a crowded start as well as many opportunities to work on their passing skills. The Three Lakes harriers will travel to Marathon Thursday, Sept. 1, for their next competition. Racing for the girls is set to begin at 4:30 p.m.

Eagles cross-country team returns 10 letterwinners for 2011 season


The Northland Pines High School cross-country team will return 10 letterwinners this season. The returning players include seniors Alex Krupka, Tess Holperin, Shay Karenke, Taylor Neis, Kylie Rhode and Jordan Welnetz; and juniors Walker Nelson, Sam Puffer, Devin Sauvola and Emilie Robins. Pines cross-country coach Don Czarapata Jr. will guide the team assisted by his father, Don Czarapata Sr., a retired crosscountry coach with 39 years of experience. Coach Czarapata said Robins, Neis and Rhode will lead the team on the girls side, while Sauvola, Nelson, Tyler Staege and Christian Svetnicka are strong performers for the boys. We have a group of about 35 athletes who are willing to work hard and succeed, said coach Czarapata. This is a very special group of kids who want to challenge for a leadership role in the sport of crosscountry. We are led by seniors who know how to run. The coach said Pines has a strong tradition in crosscountry, but added that there is still room for improvement. Consistency will be a challenge, he said. We have not had consistency in either performances or training. If this can be improved, well be better in our championship meets. Coach Czarapata said he expects Lakeland and Tomahawk to clinch the top spots in the conference, while the remaining teams battle for third place. Our seniors are a good group, and our freshmen are one of the best ninthgrade groups weve had, said the coach. The sophomores and juniors are smaller in numbers, but could make the difference. In the season opener in Rhinelander, the Pines boys took seventh out of eight teams, while the girls were ninth out of 12 teams. I couldnt be prouder of our effort, intensity and team unity, said Czarapata. We were on time, warmed up together, cheered for one another and conducted ourselves with superb professionalism and sportsmanship. We did everything the right way, just like all championship teams. The Eagles were scheduled to travel to Mosinee for an invitational at Nine Mile Forest Tuesday, Aug. 30, at 4:15 p.m. Pines will travel to Phillips for a meet Thursday, Sept. 8. The time of the meet is yet to be determined.

Y Scramble set Sept. 6


Registration for the YMCA of the Northwoods-Eagle River Branchs third annual Y Scramble golf event is still open. The four-person best-ball scramble will take place Tuesday, Sept. 6, at Eagle River Golf Course. The entry fee is $85 per person, $65 per person if an Eagle River Golf Club member, and will include 18 holes, cart, lunch and dinner. Participants can register as a team or individually. All proceeds will go to the YMCAs Strong Kids campaign, a financial assistance program which allows community members to participate in YMCA programs who could not otherwise afford to do so. Registration for the golf tournament and lunch start at 11 a.m., with a shotgun start at noon. The event will include holein-one awards, including a $10,000 prize from Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, team prizes and raffle prizes.

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.

Charity golf event draws 106 players

EXCITING STOCK CAR RACING!

YMCA gets new equipment


Wild Eagle Corner Store and The Penalty Box Pub & Grill, both in Eagle River, recently donated a new Hammer Strength linear leg press to the YMCA of the Northwoods-Eagle River Branch. The leg press provides a workout for the gluteal muscles, hamstrings and quadriceps without the back pressure that can be caused doing squats. The machine adds a new dimension to the Hammer Strength equipment already in use at the center, which includes an iso-lateral shoulder press and front lateral pull down, ground base jammer and squat lunge, unilateral leg press, and squat racks. Free weights, kettlebells and many pieces of Magnum equipment also can be used to zero in on all muscle groups for all-purpose strength training.

Lady Jays return five in volleyball


The Three Lakes High School varsity volleyball team will return five letterwinning players for the 2011 season. The returning players include senior Zana Lorbetske and sophomores Abby Zielke, Lindsay Schoff, Taylor Pitlik and Karlie Stefonik. Three Lakes coach Roni Anderson said she expects Lorbetske to be a leading hitter this year, while Zielke is showing promise in both setting and hitting. Anderson added that Schoff is a talented middle hitter. These players give the team a strong core, according to the coach. We have very strong servers and our hitting is amazing, said Anderson. While the team is still quite young, with only one senior, Anderson expects the Lady Jays to be a force in the conference. I think we will do well in the conference as soon as the girls really start playing

Hicks breaks speed record for second straight week


On the way to another Micro Sprints feature win, Mike Hicks of Eagle River broke the track speed record at Eagle River Speedway for the second week in a row. Hicks broke his own record from last week by one-tenth of one second, with a 14.30-second lap. He reached speeds in excess of 96 miles per hour, circling the track with the gas pedal to the floor. I really didnt know how fast I was going, said Hicks from the Auto Value Victory Lane. I just kept the car wide open, and found a line where I could get the best bite. While other Micro Sprint cars have an adjustable wing, Hicks wing is not adjustable. The only adjustment I make is in tire pressure, said Hicks. This is not the strategy for the 2009 and 10 Eagle River Speedway B-Mods track champion Jason Zdroik. Zdroik won the B-Mods feature and looks to be a threepeat track champion. We make adjustments on the car from the hot laps right to the feature. The track and the weather are constantly changing, said Zdroik. In the B-Mods feature, Zdroik came from the back of the pack to take the lead on the eighth lap on his way to a first-place finish. Pete Paulus of Phillips took second, with Jesse Aho of Toivola, Mich., taking third. In the Street Stocks class, Jeff Klopstein of Baraga, Mich., went into the night with a 13-point lead over the defending Street Stocks points champion, Ben Pitlik of Eagle River. Pitlik picked up a point by winning his heat race, while Klopstein took second. Pitlik then picked up another point by taking fourth in the feature, while Klopstein took fifth. It was Elchos Nick Visser who won the Street Stocks feature. Dennis LaCrosse of Eagle River took second and Kevin Hartman of Conover, took third. Rhinelanders Dustin Miller won his 11th Pure Stocks feature in the past 12 races. The race in this competitive class is for the runner-up position where a tight points battle exists between two Eagle River drivers, Ryan Valeria and Don Scharf. Antigos Tanner Resch and Eagle Rivers Ty Springer kept going back and forth for the lead in both the Junior Sprints heat race and the feature. Resch went on to defeat Springer in both races. Springers 6-year-old sister, Tommi-Jo, took third in the feature, with Wyatt McIntyre of Greenland, Mich., taking third in the Junior Sprints heat race. Tuesday, Aug. 30, was WRJO night at Eagle River Speedway. The final race of the season will be the track championship Sunday, Sept. 4.

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.

SPORTS Traveling softball team takes 2nd


___________ BY ANTHONY DREW
NEWS-REVIEW ASST. EDITOR

___________

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 give our young people their due


IF THERES one thing newspapers all over the nation are accused of week in and week out, its that we only print the bad news, particularly where young people are concerned. That may or may not be true. We tend to think too many readers remember only the bad news and forget all the printed matter concerning school activities, awards, scholarships, athletic accomplishments, etc. We feel with schools starting once again, we should remind readers of some unique statistics compiled following a student survey. It showed that on a typical day, almost 100% of the students were not suspended or expelled. That might not be the case in high-risk inner-city schools, but the following findings are true for most schools. The survey said over 97% were not tardy for class; over 98% were not issued detentions for misbehavior in class; over 98% did not cause trouble on the school bus; over 93% were well behaved on the playground; over 95% were not disciplined for fighting; over 98% were respectful to their teachers; over 95% were not accused of alcohol or drug abuse, and over 97% were not involved in school vandalism or stealing. Chances are you may have observed youngsters this summer hard at work at jobs in

People Make the Difference

the community. You may have seen them jogging, lifting weights or otherwise preparing to play fall sports. In these tough economic times, and with the cost of college tuition rising every year, many young people realize they must contribute to the family finances if they are to attend the college of their choice. Yes, you may have seen a few youngsters on the streets late at night and doing things that they shouldnt have, but they were the minority. The vast majority deserve credit for being responsible and they are going back to school with the commitment that school years are fun, teachers are human beings, classrooms are for learning and people who disrupt that environment are cheating themselves. We urge you to enjoy your school years. They are the best years youll ever have and they pass all too quickly. And no matter what you read in the papers, remember, we know that most of you are the good news in this country . . . even if you dont get all the headlines. * * * WAS THE recent redistricting bill signed into law by Gov. Scott Walker a good thing or a bad thing? When redistricting is done, it is usually a very partisan act. Gerrymandering, also known as stacking the deck, is often very polarizing and politically motivated. When voting districts are carved by one party, you often have districts that might have a 70-30 split of voters. If one party is outnumbered 70-30, they have little chance of getting someone sharing their views elected. Incumbent candidates are safe and re-elected without much challenge. When districts are more even politically, voters are likely to have a choice. They can study the candidates and select the one they feel will do the best job for them in Madison or Washington. There is the possibility of races ending 50.5% to 49.5% and in those cases you have 49.5% of the voters feeling disenfranchised, but that is better than the people who have a 70-30 disadvantage

Our View
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

Achieve shorelands equality by including cities, villages


The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and its governing board have decided to delay implementation of revised shoreland zoning regulations, NR 115, for two years to give county administrators more time to work on ordinance amendments. Its our hope that the DNR isnt playing political games by allowing the process to be stalled while Republican legislators work to destroy the stronger yet more flexible rules, which would waste 10 years of effort to improve the outdated minimum standards. Opponents of the revised code are suggesting that the limitations on development should be scrapped if they dont apply equally to every property owner, because incorporated cities and villages are exempt. We disagree. The equal application argument should not be used as an excuse to undermine the revised code, much of which mirrors a very effective Vilas County ordinance thats been in place for more than a decade. If anything, it should compel legislators to restrict what cities and villages can do, for the sake of protecting water quality. Maybe NR 115 still needs tweaking, but dont throw the baby out with the bath water.

It only took 62 years to find


ITS FUNNY HOW you can live in a place all your life and yet take 62 years to finally find and explore a new place that has been right under your nose all those years. I figure that in my day I have explored or at least casually looked at a good share of Vilas County, although I must admit there are a great many superb fishing lakes which I have never even sampled. Within 25 miles of my house, there are storied lakes like North and Big Twin, Big Arbor Vitae, Trout and many others into which I have never thrown a cast.

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.

OP-ED/READER OPINION

Kim Simac stood up for health of women


Letter to the Editor: I would like to thank all of those who voted for Kim Simac in the past recall election. I, for one, dont prefer that my tax dollars support Planned Parenthood (also known as family planning, courtesy of our county health departments) or sex education in the public schools, which nowadays excludes the traditional education about developing sound relationships that include self-control and abstinence, which are certainly among the most solid, timetested and moral tools for personal health and safety. Natural Family Planning (familyplanning.net) and other natural methods are also among traditional winners. The many negative side effects of synthetic birth control and abortion are also not mentioned in Planned Parenthood or the public schools sex education, thus why Gov. Walker and most traditionalists are presently labeled anti-woman when they support that traditional education be added. I just needed to share some of these small, but important truths in thanking Kim Simac for standing up for the health, in the most pure forms, of women, and to oppose the further waste of our tax dollars. If the public schools and Planned Parenthood are truly desiring to participate with our state government in a bipartisan approach, then they will surely want to add equal amounts of the timetested, traditional education within these taxpayer-sponsored programs.

FROM PAGE 18A
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.

ATV routes would lead to trespassing, property damage


Dear Editor: Mr. Flaherty, in his letter, ATV movement here comes from left extremists, conveniently ignores a glaring fact published in this paper every year at some point during the snowmobile season. Driving off the marked trails threatens the continuity of snowmobile trails in the North Woods. Drivers of motorized vehicles capable of negotiating all types of terrain who do not respect the property rights of private landowners are not going away. Some all-terrain vehicle (ATV) drivers will drive off the roads and trespass on private lands. Many people who read this paper have witnessed the damage done by snowmobilers driving off trails small trees run over in fields, knocked down gates, property owners assaulted, and people subjected to a middle-finger salute when informing individuals of acts of trespass. The Founding Fathers had a reverent and sacred respect for the property rights of landowners. John Adams stated, The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. (A Defense of the American Constitutions, 1787) It could be argued that if Mr. Flaherty favors money before the foundations of liberty, he is in essence justifying the commencement of anarchic acts of trespassing for economic benefit. William Pitt, speaking before the House of Commons in 1783 declared, Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. Mr. Flaherty is either using the perceived necessities of the local economy as justification for his own desire to drive an ATV, or he loves money more than he respects the rights of his neighbors to enjoy their property in peace and quiet. Either reason creates a high probability of trespassing and property damage by disrespectful ATV drivers on private property. I may not agree with Sue Drum on certain issues, but there is a common link here with property owners. ATVs trespassing on private property will do environmental damage to the property owners land. When trespassers run over trees, they are destroying future timber that could be sold or sawn into lumber and used by the owner. Ruts left on land by ATV tires can damage or destroy walking areas enjoyed by the owner and initiate runoff damage. Sue Drum is not advocating acts that can damage private property or infringe upon the owners privacy. Mr. Flaherty is only thinking about his own desires, demanding a course of action that will eventually create frustration, anger and property damage for some of his property-owning neighbors throughout the county.

Lets be fair to sport of ATVing


Dear Editor: The Aug. 17 edition had an anti-all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ad from Rod Whitehead and a letter from another extreme anti-ATV person from Presque Isle. The Aug. 24 edition had another ad from Rod Whitehead along with a Letter to the Editor from him. Since Roger Flaherty already took care of a response to the letter from the anti-ATV person from Presque Isle, Im going to respond to Rods ad. Especially the one from Aug. 17 thats completely untrue. Everyone has the right to free speech, but Im sure everyone would appreciate being provided with true statistics. So, lets talk statistics. Rods ad said that 75% of ATV deaths were alcohol related. Whered that number come from? Just Wisconsin, just the Midwest, where? I went to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website and checked those numbers and if were just talking Wisconsin, its not exactly true. In 2010, Wisconsin had a total of 14 ATV deaths. Of those deaths, 10 were alcohol related. I agree that this is an alarming number, especially when five of those deaths were more than double the legal limit. But ask yourself this question: If a person is driving a recreational vehicle with that much alcohol in their system, what would stop them from getting behind the wheel of an automobile? Since were throwing out some numbers, lets be fair to ATVs. First of all, in 2010 there were 287,163 ATVs registered in Wisconsin. That means less than a 0.5% of registered Wisconsin ATV riders died. In my mind, any death is a shame but we are talking facts here, so I cant get away from pointing these things out. I also want to point out that there was an increase of about 70,000 ATV registrations from 2010 to 2011. Its a growing recreation. But ATVing is not the only recreational sport out there. There are approximately 616,000 boats registered in Wisconsin. In 2010 there were 18 boating deaths, five of which were alcohol related. One alcohol related was more than double the legal limit. Again, when being factual, theres a lot more police and DNR wardens on the lakes than on ATV or snowmobile trails. Lets move on to snowmobiling. I found data reflecting 224,539 snowmobiles registered in the state of Wisconsin, but this data is from 2008-09 season, so Im sure this number has increased also. There were 17 deaths in Wisconsin, 13 alcohol related, 10 of which were more than double the legal limit. Thats really scary! Especially when you consider that the snowmobile season is considerably shorter than the ATV or boating seasons. Im a snowmobiler and this was astonishing to me. But you need to be realistic and realize that persons driving recreational vehicles at more than double the legal limit will probably get behind the wheel of anything and drive drunk. If there were 49 deaths on recreational vehicles, can you imagine how many auto-related deaths there were in Wisconsin? How many murders? Im sure that number is astronomical and Im betting a very large percentage of those were alcohol related. A very sad fact. English is the third-most spoken language in the world. The most-spoken is Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish is No. 2. English is far from perfect, but I couldnt order something to eat in Spanish or Mandarin. I think it would be a more cohesive world if more people spoke fewer languages. Its too late to do anything about When you are forming your opinions of a recreation, dont demonize it. Dont group every single one of those 287,163 riders with the 10 who made bad decisions. Rods latest ad and letter talked about the safety hazards of riding on paved roads. Do you really think that ATVs (or snowmobilers) prefer to ride on pavement? No, we dont, but sometimes to get from point A to point B we have no other choice. Im sure the Landover ATV Club tried its best to minimize what paved roads were selected in the proposal for the town of Phelps. Anti-ATVers act like theres going to be more ATVs riding these routes than cars. And that each and every ATV is going to drive off the marked route and cause damage, be intoxicated, or cause other problems. Would you like me to make judgments about you because of a sport or activity you like that I dont? No, Im sure you wouldnt, so stop judging the rest of us. Why not have a temporary ordinance that allows the ATV routes for a specified period of time, say one year? See how things go for that year and then decide if these routes should become permanent or not. But dont say no, no, no when you dont even have any idea of the impact of yes. Sincerely, Gina Ewert Eagle River it, but I think all the people of the world should learn to speak one universal language. Of course, I wouldnt want to be on the committee making the choice.

Dawn of a new day for UW system
___________

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

READER OPINION

TARGET ACQUIRED It is with incredible precision and speed that the osprey uses its nearly 5-foot wing span and sharp talons to

grab wounded fish. Also referred to as the fish hawk, the osprey spends most of its time soaring over lakes and relies heavily on a

fish diet for survival. Their reliance on open water forces them to migrate southward in winter. --Staff Photo By KURT KRUEGER

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.

Reflections
By Mary Friedel-Hunt

Our interior world


A dark cloudy morning is upon me, and it feels good. I enjoy it when the sun hides behind a layer of clouds, when rain threatens, and cool air moves into the valley. It reflects a big part of who I am these days. I like to curl up with a book and hot coffee, write a column, or just sit quietly, dog on lap all 74 pounds. When the atmosphere hugs me with a gray blanket, I tend to spend time focused on my interior world. Most of us spend way too much time focused out there. Jobs, people, events, trips, shopping, television all draw our attention, leaving our interior life abandoned. We lose track of ourselves, forget who we are and why we are here. Minding what is important demands time and attention. It cant happen if we are always focused outward. It is like the house that has a beautifully landscaped yard, lovely flowers, walkways and nicely trimmed hedges. The roof is in great shape, front porch is welcoming and the entire house is attractive and looks well tended. Then we step inside the front door to find chaos. Closets are stuffed. Drawers filled with clutter. Last nights and maybe last weeks dishes are on the kitchen counter, beds unmade, clothes strewn around and there is no place for the homeowner to be peaceful. That is what happens to our interior life when we ignore it by paying too much attention to the external. Ideally, for me, a 50-50 division would be great. Take away the eight hours we sleep or are supposed to sleep. That leaves 16 hours. Now there is no way we can spend half of those hours focused inward. Or is there? Consider the hour it takes you to drive to the mall. What do you do with it? Radio, telephone, talk? The car is a great place to be quiet and ponder. Consider all those opportunities to be aware of more than what surrounds you think/feel time opportunities. Take advantage of them by being still present. Turn inward. Live all day with an awareness of your own interior life. Remember the times you drive somewhere and, when you arrive, you realize you do not remember the journey because you were so preoccupied? None of us want to end our lives having missed the real journey. I think today of a poem Bill (my husband, who died last year) wrote one quiet morning in 2000. He called it To FRIEDEL-HUNT, Pg. 4B

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.

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.

Foundation donates $25,000 to history re-enactment group


The Forest County Potawatomi Foundation recently awarded $25,000 to the Living History Encounter (LHE) for its upcoming fall re-enactment programs on the fur trade era of the Great Lakes. The check was presented to members of the LHE board by tribal council Treasurer Joe Daniels at the Potawatomi administration building in Crandon. The Potawatomi have sponsored the LHE program since 2004. As a result of the donation, the program will be offered free to groups Thursday and Friday, Sept. 29 and Sept. 30, and to the general public Saturday, Oct. 1. Professional historical interpreters in traditional dress will present the skills and lifestyles of Native Americans and Europeans living in the Great Lakes region between 1600 and 1840. We greatly appreciate the support of the Forest County Potawatomi Foundation that allows us to offer this program free to the public, said LHE President Bill Kroll. We invite everyone to come join us and experience these living history programs presented by the interpreters. Visitors will be able to tour through 14 different sites, each featuring different interpreters portraying historical roles. The event will be held on the grounds behind Rocking W Stables, just north of Northland Pines High School. LHE programs began in 1996 in conjunction with Klondike Days, but in 2010 the event was moved to the fall. This is the second year that well present the program in the fall, explained Kroll. The fall weather makes it easier for visitors to spend more time at each exhibit site and offers more flexibility for the interpreters and their programs. The group tours Thursday and Friday will include school field trips and will be held from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Groups are welcome to take a lunch to eat at the site. Anyone interested in scheduling a school or group tour is asked to contact Kroll at the number listed below. The program will be open to the public Saturday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., and reservations are not required. The group sold raffle tickets throughout the summer to raise additional funds for this event, and the drawing for raffle prizes will be held Saturday afternoon, Oct. 1. In addition to Kroll, members of the LHE board include Vice President John Hayes, Secretary Ken Beier, Treasurer Terrie Beier, Bill Anderson, Bob Egan, Carolyn Ritter, Eugene Shawano Jr. and Larry Snedden. The group is seeking additional donations for the event and interested individuals are asked to contact Kroll. For more information on the LHE program, raffle fundraiser or to schedule a tour, call Bill Kroll at (715) 479-5034 or email kroll02@ frontier.com.

Nicolets Creative Arts Series to feature three free events


Nature and the environment will be the themes of three free events in Nicolet Area Technical Colleges Creative Arts Series in September. Events include a film that covers the life of renowned ecologist Aldo Leopold; a collaborative art exhibit that combines the work of North Woods artists and scientists; and a reading by a Nicolet staff member or student that reflects on nature and the environment. The film Green Fire will be shown Wednesday, Sept. 7, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Nicolet College Theatre. This documentary explores how the legendary environmentalist Aldo Leopold shaped the modern environmental movement. Drawing upon photographs, archival documents and footage of landscapes that inspired him, the film traces the evolution of Leopolds thought through his life and experiences and, in turn, challenges viewers to contemplate their own relationship to nature. The art exhibit Drawing Water with the melding of art, science and poetry will be held Friday, Sept. 16, to Wednesday, Oct. 5, in the Nicolet College Art Gallery. The traveling exhibit spotlights the lakes of Wisconsins Northern Highland region. Five visual artists and one poet teamed up with six scientists to investigate and communicate the past and future of this ecological region. Each work is accompanied by a concise explanation of the science behind the art. A reception and presentation will be held Saturday, Sept. 24, at 7 p.m. in the art gallery. Cultivating Appreciation through Environmental Readings will take place Wednesday, Sept. 21, from 11 a.m. to noon, in the Nicolet College library. This regular monthly feature will focus on the natural world as reflected through literature as Nicolet faculty, staff and students share short passages from their favorite authors. A discussion will follow each reading.

Square dance club schedules sessions


The Scoot Backs Square Dance Club will start new classes Tuesday, Sept. 6, at the Kalmar Community Senior Center in Eagle River. This will be the first of two 12-week sessions. According to the dance organizers, millions of Americans have discovered that square dancing is an enjoyable way to get some exercise and have fun while doing it. An evening of square dancing is equivalent to walking three to five miles. It is a lowimpact, heart-healthy activity that is endorsed by the American Heart Association, said group member Sharon Albright. If you can walk, you can square dance, since there is no fancy footwork required. Participation is not limited by age, gender or shape. Singles as well as couples are welcome she added. The first night, Sept. 6, will be free to try square dancing. The fee for each 12-week program is $35 per person. For more information or to sign up, contact Albright at (715) 356-6989 days or 3569266 evenings.

Antique expert Moran values items for Three Lakes residents


Mark Moran, a contributing editor for Antique Trader and guest expert on the PBS series Antiques Roadshow, recently appraised items at the Reiter Center in Three Lakes for area residents. Forty people took a total of 52 items for appraisal at the Three Lakes Historical Societys recent appraisal event, Whats It Worth? After viewing and hearing histories of the items, Moran gave his opinion of the value of each piece. Values ranged from less than $100 to several thousands of dollars. Many participants were pleased to find out that they owned some valuable treasures. There were some Chinese pieces valued at more than $18,000. Coordinator Linda Goldsworthy said participants enjoyed the event. Pending board approval, I think I would plan another event, she said. At 8:30 the next morning, I even received a phone call from a person asking to be the first on the list for next years event. _____________ By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Historical society concludes annual enrichment program


Professor emeritus of UWMadison and author Jerry Apps recently gave a presentation about cheese making in Wisconsin at the Three Lakes Historical Societys annual enrichment program at the Reiter Center. Attendees listened to Apps with his stories and Trivial Pursuit quiz questions. Dont believe the California hype, Apps said. Wisconsin is still the No. 1 cheese-producing state in the nation. California may have more cows, but we make more cheese. The Wisconsin history of cheese making story included a shift from an emphasis on early wheat production to dairy today. There were many historical facts and stories presented throughout the evening. The evening concluded with the drawing of the winners of the historical societys cash raffle. After Apps presentation, he drew the 10 winning raffle tickets. With only 100 tickets sold, the odds of winning were one in 10. Winners were as follows: $1,000 to Al and Judy Block of Three Lakes, $500 to Linnea Ebann of Three Lakes, $300 to Jill Wojtusik/Jinnene Ross of Eagle River, $200 each to Jerry Packard of Port Washington and Pat Brainard of Three Lakes, $100 each to Roger Blocks and George Kveck, both of Three Lakes, and $50 each to Sue Williams of Downers Grove, Ill., and Kathy and Jerry Haapanen of Three Lakes. Congratulations to all. said Joan Ross, historical society board member. The Three Lakes Historical Society appreciates the support of everyone who entered this years raffle. Without community support, the historical society would not be able to continue popular programs such as Concerts in the Park, the annual fish boil, history talks and maintenance of the historical society museum.
