Special snomo team
to end patrols: DNR
By a 4-3 decision, the Wis-
consin Supreme Court over-
turned last week a Dane
County Circuit Courts ruling
that Republicans violated the
states open meetings law
when a Senate panel passed
Gov. Scott Walkers budget re-
pair bill earlier this year.
The states high court rein-
stated the legislation that
takes collective bargaining
away from most public work-
ers, deciding that a committee
of lawmakers was not subject
to the states open meetings
law when it approved the
measure in March.
The court overruled Dane
County Circuit Court Judge
Maryann Sumi, who had halt-
ed the legislation that re-
ceived national attention.
Union leaders were disap-
pointed by the high courts de-
cision.
Its hard to understand
how the Wisconsin Supreme
Court could accept and decide
a case of this magnitude
one that guts 50 years of col-
lective bargaining in a sin-
gle day, said Randy Wein-
garten, president of the Amer-
ican Federation of Teachers.
We are disappointed but
not surprised by the Supreme
Court ruling and will redou-
ble our efforts to restore a fair
and democratic process to
Wisconsin, said Weingarten.
The thousands of people who
have demonstrated their dis-
agreement with the gover-
nors and Legislatures at-
tempts to silence the voice of
the public deserve no less.
Meanwhile, teachers
unions and other labor unions
have filed suit in federal
court, claiming the budget re-
pair bill violates the U.S. Con-
Court overturns
judges ruling
on bargaining bill

Taking into account an ex-
pected drop of $509,000 in
state aid to the college and a
state-mandated freeze on
technical college district oper-
ational tax levies, the Nicolet
Area Technical College board
passed the 2011-12 budget
last week.
The board was able to bal-
ance the $34.4 million budget
with a decrease of nearly
$600,000 in operational ex-
penses due to greater efficien-
cies and staffing reductions at
the college due to retirements,
according to Nicolet College
President Elizabeth Burmas-
ter.
She said retirements will
account for the elimination of
9.8 full-time positions, with
core duties of these retirees
being assigned to other staff,
she added.
Everyone at Nicolet is
committed to maintaining a
high degree of educational ex-

The states Snowmobile Ac-
cident Reduction Team
(SART) wont patrol trails in
northern Wisconsin this win-
ter, a Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) snowmobile
safety expert told the Vilas
County Snowmobile Trail
Safety Committee last week.
Warden Tim Lawhern, ad-
ministrator of the DNRs Divi-
sion of Enforcement and Sci-
ence Conservation, said the
$250,000 in funding for the
team wont be renewed in the
state budget.
Committee Chairman Sig
Hjemvick indicated they had
concerns about a number of
media reports on SART in the
North, but emphasized safety
and compliance with snowmo-
bile laws were wanted.
Not everyone agreed with
the law enforcement aimed at
snowmobilers.
Dale Mayo, Vilas County
snowmobile program coordi-
nator, said there have been
concerns in the past about the
lack of communication be-
tween law enforcement
groups doing snowmobile pa-
trols, especially during large
community snowmobiling
events.
Locals didnt know SART
was coming into the area and
it appears neither did local
DNR or local sheriff s depart-
ments, Mayo said, which was
acknowledged by Lawhern.
Communication was a
problem and weve addressed
that in-house, said Lawhern.
We could have done a better
job.
We prefer it be done right
the first time because re-
sources are precious and we
want our trails to be safe,
Lawhern said. Anytime you
deal with large numbers of
people, there are some who
dont get it right.
Hjemvick supported the
presence of law enforcement
on area trails. A total of 17
people died on snowmobiles
last year in Wisconsin, includ-
ing one in Vilas County and
one in Oneida County.
Were concerned about
safety and the image of Vilas
County, said Hjemvick, refer-
ring to negative publicity from
snowmobile trail incidents.

cellence with fewer resources,
said Burmaster. The constant
challenge for us is to deliver
high-quality education and
workforce development while
limiting tax increases.
The Nicolet College 2011-
12 budget totals $34,435,620
and freezes the tax levy at
$20,465,789, the same
amount that was levied last
year. The 2011-13 state bien-
nial budget calls for a freeze
on technical college opera-
tional tax levies at the current
2010-11 level.
Economic recovery in the
region isnt coming as quickly
as hoped and that means we
have to make cuts just like ev-
eryone else, Burmaster said.
We are projected to sustain
the increased high enrollment
of the past several years as
significant numbers of stu-
dents continue to turn to Nico-
let for the job training that
will benefit them personally
and also help bring prosperity
back to the North Woods econ-
omy.
The Nicolet College budget
also was built on the assump-
tion that equalized property
valuations will drop 3%. If
property valuations go down,
the mill rate must go up to
maintain the operational
property tax levy dollar fig-
ure. Actual equalized valua-
tions will not be known until
late September or early Octo-
ber when the state releases
the final figures.
Factoring in a 3% valuation
decrease, the Nicolet College
budget calls for an increase in
the total mill rate, from 1.111
to 1.145. This will result in a
$3.40 tax increase on a
$100,000 home.
Burmaster said the mill
rate is made up of two compo-
nents operational costs and
debt service.
She said the operational
portion of the mill rate in the
proposed budget is 1.01, one of
the lowest of all 16 technical
colleges in the state. The debt
portion of the mill rate would
be 0.13.
A boat capsized while
pulling a tube rider in
Medicine Lake in Three Lakes
last Friday, causing all of the
crafts occupants to be trans-
ported to Ministry Eagle River
Memorial Hospital, according
to the Oneida County Sheriffs
Department.
Authorities said the prelimi-
nary investigation indicated
that boat was pulling a tube
rider when the operator of the
boat turned sharply and the
boat capsized, causing the four
occupants from the boat to be-
come ejected into the water.
Alcohol was not a factor in
the incident, said police. A
boater who was not involved
assisted the subjects out of the
water and to the shore. All ju-
venile occupants were wearing
life jackets at the time of the
incident.
All of the occupants of the
boat were transported to Min-
istry Eagle River Memorial
Hospital for treatment after
the incident, authorities said.
The Three Lakes Police De-
partment, Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Natural Resources,
Three Lakes Fire Department
and the Oneida County Ambu-
lance Medic 10 responded to
the scene.
The crash remains under in-
vestigation by the Three Lakes
Police Department.

know what funding will be
available.
Hjemvick suggested that,
without SART funding, Vilas
County could possibly utilize
the SART trailer and park it
at highly visible locations.
Renn Karl, president of the
Vilas County Snowmobile Al-
liance, said the primary pur-
pose of SART was to enforce
speed and alcohol.
When your focus is specif-
ic, there was a great cry in the
community and we are a ser-
vice industry and the perva-
sive feeling was that focus was
unfair, said Karl, noting there
was a concern of having snow-
mobilers stopped numerous
times by different law enforce-
ment agencies. Zealous en-
forcement was the issue.
He was supported in that
feeling by committee member
and Eagle River motel owner
Holly Tomlanovich.
The continuality of being
stopped was the issue and it
would happen several times,
apparently without provoca-
tion, she said.
That goes back to no com-
munication and people were
stopped often, Lawhern ad-
mitted. That existed and
should not have existed. But
there had to be probable cause
to make the stop.
Lawhern said he had to
field both sides of the SART
concern, saying some want us
to come and some never want
to see us again.
Hjemvick reiterated there
needs to be more coordination
of patrols between the DNR,
sheriff s departments, U.S.
Forest Service and tribal offi-
cers, but committee member
Stan Guif indicated communi-
cation has already started.
Enhanced communication
is an achievement where we
can sit here and discuss
things, he said.
Future focus
While there wont be a
SART program for this coming
winter, Lawhern said enforce-
ment will continue by local
wardens and they will be as-
sisted by other area wardens
when they can.
Hjemvick suggested invit-
ing DNR Secretary Cathy
Stepp to the North Woods to
experience area snowmobile
trails and attend a snowmo-
bile alliance meeting and a
Snowmobile Trail Safety Com-
mittee meeting. Lawhern sug-
gested the committee extend
that invitation to her as she is
a snowmobiler.
The suggestion to have our
secretary come here should be
at the top of your list and I
think she would like that op-
portunity to meet with you,
said Lawhern.
While some are against
extra enforcement activities,
Tomlanovich said there is a
fine line.
Lack of enforcement will
not be beneficial to our econo-
my since our target market is
families, she said, but the
fear of loss is very powerful
for a business owner.
Karl agreed, saying the
county must take a number of
proactive measures to educate
and promote safety.
Lawhern said that educa-
tion trumps legislation every
time, but some legislation is
also needed for safety.
Enforcement is important
and well still have enforce-
ment, but not with SART. It
sounds like you would like to
have more enforcement, but
we need to figure out a way to
improve safety and I would
like to help you with that,
said Lawhern.
Lawhern said the goal was
to have voluntary compliance
with the help of education.

Although no action was
taken by the Phelps Town
Board regarding all-terrain
vehicle (ATV) routes in its re-
cent meeting, a Landover ATV
Club representative present-
ed a proposal from the club to
the board for approval.
Landover ATV club mem-
ber Daniel Swiecichowskis
proposal stemmed from a
November 2010 town board
meeting in which he had re-
quested the board approve
town roads for ATV and utili-
ty task vehicle (UTV) use.
The board then requested
that Swiecichowski return
with a plan after sending a
questionnaire asking whether
taxpayers favored ATVs on
town roads. The results from
those 391 returns included
224 in favor, 166 not in favor
and one undecided.
In early June, the Vilas
County Forestry and Land
Committee agreed that town
officials should decide
whether or not they want
ATV/UTV routes on their
town roads.
The Landover ATV Club
claims that the routes could
generate new businesses and
tourism in the Phelps commu-
nity. The proposal included a
plan that would connect
ATV/UTV routes from Phelps
to Land O Lakes, Conover and
Forest County.
Swiecichowskis plan was
presented as an outline with
maps, and included the fol-
lowing roads in Phelps:
Highways A and E, Strong
Road, Deerskin Road, Co-op
Road, Kentuck Lake Road,
Spectacle Lake Lane, Nicolet
Shores Road, Eagle Farm
Road, Mail Route Road,
Robinson Lake Road, Sand
Lake Road, Winding Trail
Lane, Long Lake Dam Road,
Enberg Lane, Coveyville
Road, Sugar Maple Road, Kel-
loggs Road, South Shore
Road, Blong Road and West
Shore Road.
In order to use highways A
and E, the town of Phelps
would need approval from the
Vilas County Forestry, Recre-
ation and Land Committee.
The plan also outlined a
number of potential safety
regulations, including sig-
nage, requiring operators to
stay off the shoulder of the
road, ride in single file with-
out passing, maintain a post-
ed speed limit and adhere to a
10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. The
outline proposed that the
routes stay open from May 1
through Oct. 31, except for
designated winter ATV
routes.

The Eagle River Area
Chamber of Commerce & Vis-

two separate sales activities
in which a nonlocal firm is
selling advertising opportuni-
ties on either a new area map
or a magnetized city guide, ac-
cording to a chamber official.
Conrad Heed, chamber ex-
ecutive director, said these
out-of-town companies solicit
ad sales while using local
school athletic schedules,
event calendars or area emer-
gency phone numbers to
make them look legitimate.
Local businesses have had
problems with these opportu-
nities in the past, said Heeg.
Be aware their offer often
has fine-print wording like,
There will be up to 5,000
maps or magnets sent out.
One delivered map would
legally fulfill that statement,
said Heeg.
Heeg said when the Eagle
River Area Chamber of Com-
merce endorses a sale of any
type, the chamber always pro-
vides an authorization letter
to the seller.
We encourage them to
show it to our members at the
time of sale, said Heeg. Addi-

Why choose Eagle Carpet Cleaning for your next carpet clean-
ing? The answers are simple, yet important.
We use the self-contained Butler truck-mount system and its in-
credibly powerful vacuum system which removes more soil and
moisture than competitors and rentals. By using our own soft-
ened water, no detergent residue remains. The result is brighter,
cleaner carpeting which stays that way longer and dries in a few
hours, not a few days. With two cleaning vans, we can provide
prompt service.
In addition to cleaning carpet, we can also clean tile and grout,
upholstery, solve pet odor problems, remove difficult spots and
handle fire or water damage problems. Give us a call today!

The selection of a new Vilas
County highway commission-
er was discussed last week at
a meeting of the county High-
way Committee, with Vilas
County Corporation Counsel
Martha Milanowski urging
the panel to start the selection
process as soon as possible.
Our ordinance adopted by
the county board last Septem-
ber sets the term at four years
and is invoked whenever the
present highway commission-
er announces or otherwise
makes it known that the posi-
tion will become vacant, Mi-
lanowski told the committee,
handing out copies of the ordi-
nance of the election proce-
dure. My recommendation is
to start by reviewing the posi-
tion description.
The current commissioner,
Jim Fischer, announced he
will retire this summer.
Committee member Charles
Rayala said state statutes
have to be considered when
drafting the job description,
and was frustrated on how the
ordinance limits the role of the
Highway Committee.
While the Highway Com-
mittee and Personnel Com-
mittee jointly look at the job
description, the Personnel
Committee (of five) and three
members of the Highway
Committee review applica-
tions and establish a list of all
qualified applicants, said
Rayala. Its the Personnel
Committee running the show.
The two committees consist-
ing of eight supervisors estab-
lish a list of final applicants
and invite them for a second
and final interview. However, it
is the Personnel Committee
alone that conducts the final
interview, although three
members of the Highway Com-
mittee are allowed to attend as
nonvoting members.
The Highway Committee
chairman then designates the
top finalist who will be nomi-
nated for election by the full
county board. Other nomina-
tions can be made for consider-
ation, but they must often come
from the list of final applicants.
Milanowski admitted the
ordinance could be modified
by a resolution to the full
county board and it was sug-
gested that be on the July
committee agenda.
Interim commissioner
The Personnel Committee
has not advertised for the posi-
tion since an updated job de-
scription has not been complet-
ed, according to Milanowski,
but she urged the appointment
of an interim commissioner to
serve until the new commis-
sioner is elected.
Committee member Al
Bauman agreed they should
do that immediately since it
was on the agenda and he
made a motion to appoint
Jarred Maney, current patrol
superintendent, as interim
commissioner. The committee
approved the appointment, ef-
fective immediately.
Since the Personnel Com-
mittee has not discussed a pay
increase for Maney during the
interim position, Highway
Committee Chairman Jack
Harrison was directed to sign
a memo informing the Person-
nel Committee of the appoint-
ment and requesting compen-
sation for this additional re-
sponsibility.
Highway projects
Three bids were opened for
sealcoating 19.5 miles of
Highway B from Little
Portage Road to Highway M,
while the condition of High-
way K from Monheim Road to
Highway E was discussed.
Bids received for sealcoat-
ing were $268,812 from Scott
Construction of Lake Delton,
$298,680 from Pitlik & Wick,
and $296,584 from Fahrner
Asphalt. The committee
awarded the project to Scott
Construction. Fahrner As-
phalt will crack seal the proj-
ect for $34,800 prior to the
sealcoat.
With limited funds in the
Local Road Improvement Pro-
gram, the committee decided
Highway K was more deterio-
rated than Highway N and
the countys resources should
be used on Highway K.
Maney indicated a 3-inch
overlay on Highway K would
be about $300,000, while a
complete reconstruction
widening the right of way and
cutting down the hills would
be much more expensive.
We could have a traffic
study and probably lower the
speed limit on that area
Maney said, But if we have to
purchase right of way, it
would be a huge project.
The committee also ap-
proved the paint striping of
Highway S, to include a fog
line, to Fahrner Asphalt for
$14,612.
Maney presented the com-
mittee with a plan to re-stripe
all county highways on a four-
year rotation basis, taking one
of four sections of roadway a
year.
Vilas urged to start process

Budget bill: unions look to recall election
FROM PAGE 1A
stitution by stripping away
basic rights to organize, bar-
gain and associate for most
public employees in Wisconsin.
Walkers bill exempted fire-
fighters and police officers, as
well as some transit workers,
from the legislation. The
unions say, at least in the cases
of the police and firefighters,
that was political payback for
their support of Walker in the
gubernatorial election. The
lawsuit also says Walkers col-
lective-bargaining legislation,
in effect, created two classes of
public-sector workers.
The unions say that makes
the collective-bargaining law,
which is scheduled to go into ef-
fect June 29, unconstitutional.
Prior to the Republicans
passing the budget repair bill,
14 Democratic senators fled to
Illinois to delay the vote, saying
Wisconsin citizens needed
more time to review the legisla-
tion. Thousands of people
protested the legislation at the
Capitol building in Madison.
Mary Bell, the head of the
Wisconsin Education Associa-
tion Council, said her organi-
zation would work in the com-
ing weeks to restore balance
in government through elec-
tion recalls.
I dont think we will reverse
the kind of damage done to
public workers, she said. But
the lawsuit may say what the
Wisconsin Supreme Court did-
nt say, and that this was done
as political payback.
Organized labor is putting
its effort, and money, into the
recall of six Republican sena-
tors in Wisconsin in the hopes
of turning the Senate back to
the Democrats. However, Re-
publicans have several recall
elections of their own at-
tempting to oust those Demo-
cratic senators who left for
Illinois, including 12th Dis-
trict Senator Jim Holperin.

The subjects of alcohol,
candy and animal dung made
for a unique discussion at the
Eagle River City Council last
week when council members
addressed the fast-approaching
Fourth of July parade.
Police Chief Mark Vander
Bloomen, who said he observed
excessive use of alcoholic bev-
erages on city streets and side-
walks during last years pa-
rade, told council members
there was a city ordinance that
addressed the problems.
We have an ordinance that
addresses all three subjects,
he informed the council, pro-
viding a copy of the ordinance
pertaining to drinking on pub-
lic streets.
With throwing candy and
with alcohol, we have a liability
problem; the city is exposing it-
self if we dont enforce it (the
ordinance), he said.
The ordinance reads: No
person shall sell or serve, or
offer to sell or serve, or to con-
sume, any alcohol beverages
upon any public street or way,
including sidewalks and alleys,
within the city except at orga-
nization-sponsored events
where permits are obtained
from the city, and except on the
city of Eagle River Municipal
Golf Course.
Vander Bloomen said the
city of Tomahawk allows bever-
ages on closed streets during
special events.
Here, they come, see the pa-
rade and are gone. If someone
applies for a permit, the council
can approve open intoxicants,
he said. My personal opinion
is, if this is done in the right
way, there would be no problem
and could be beneficial for
downtown businesses.
He said one possibility
might be having a closed street
with manned barricades at
both ends that would stop any-
one from leaving the area with
a drink. But Vander Bloomen
said he wouldnt have enough
officers to man barricades at
two locations, therefore some
organization would have to do
it, especially prior to and dur-
ing the parade.
While the Eagle River Busi-
ness Association permit appli-
cation for the parade has been
granted, there was no request
for allowing open intoxicants
on the public streets. It was
noted for the YMCAs applica-
tion for the Moonshine Run in
downtown Eagle River July 9,
the Y applied for a picnic li-
cense for after the run.
Citizen Todd Achterberg
suggested rather than forcing
organizations to purchase a
special insurance rider to cover
themselves, just repeal the or-
dinance for one day. He also
said most drinking was being
done on private property.
But Councilman Jerry Bur-
kett noted where he was on the
parade route last year, there
were a minimum of 1,000 per-
sons drinking on the curb on
public property.
Councilwoman Kim Schaf-
fer said most people take their
own alcohol to the parade, but
some people want to purchase
a drink in a licensed tavern
and be able to walk out with it
to watch the parade from the
sidewalk.
Councilwoman Carol Hen-
dricks said the parade is a fam-
ily event and questioned if the
city might be encouraging un-
derage drinking.
The council decided to re-
quest an opinion from the city
insurance carrier if there
would be an additional cost for
a rider if the city itself took out
a permit for allowing drinking
on public property only for one
day. Council members noted
the city wont sell any alcohol.
Candy and dung
Council members empha-
sized that people dispensing
candy from floats must walk on
the street with the float and
hand the candy to children. Pa-
rade participants will be told
they cannot throw candy from
the float, to aid in the safety of
children.
If a business does not com-
ply, it could be prevented from
participation in the future, ac-
cording to council members.
City Clerk/Treasurer Debbie
Brown also wanted to give a
warning about the self-pro-
claimed Leinies Guys float
handing out cans of beer dur-
ing the parade.
Vander Bloomen also indi-
cated any equestrian units
need to have a backup crew
armed with shovels to remove
any horse droppings on the
streets.
Other business
In other action, the City
Council:
approved hiring recently
retired city worker Rick Monte-
zon for no more that 1,050
hours per year at $17 per hour;
approved preliminary
plans to expand city sewer and
water along Highway 70 West
to Neros property, which the
Plan Commission will make a
recommendation on an applica-
tion by the owner, First Nation-
al Bank, for direct annexation;
approved an off-premises
sign on private property for the
city-owned golf course and the
lease which provides the owner
with 10 rounds of golf a year;
approved the tentative
county redistricting plan and
the voting wards for the city;
approved the compliance
report to the Department of
Natural Resources for the
sewer treatment plant;
received a copy of a victim
impact statement filed for fire
damage to the new bathrooms
at Riverview Park, requesting
the persons responsible for the
damage appear before the civic
organizations who contributed
to the building to apologize for
their actions; and
received a report showing
$21,575.63 in a May 15 pay-
ment of the premier resort tax
compared to $26,682.58 May
15 of last year.

A broadband planning team,
consisting of 18 members from
Vilas, Oneida, Forest, Langlade
and Lincoln counties, has
drafted a preliminary plan and
is seeking public comments.
The team, appointed by the
Public Service Commission
(PSC) of Wisconsin, has met
regularly since last fall to cre-
ate a plan to address gaps in
broadband availability and im-
prove the adoption of available
broadband services, according
to Don Sidlowski, Three Lakes
town chairman and committee
member.
The draft plan is designed
to enhance the regional eco-
nomic development by expand-
ing broadband access/adoption
among second-home owners,
said Sidlowski.
The team seeks public re-
view and input on the current
draft plan, though cost figures
to implement the plan are not
available. The plan is avail-
able online at
tinyurl.com/3z6orlj. For those
who may not presently have
Internet access, the plan can be
reviewed by accessing the In-
ternet at local libraries and
other public locations through-
out the region.
Sidlowski said the broad-
band investment plan is in-
tended to provide a path for-
ward to expand broadband
availability and adoption.
The plan recognizes that
improved quality of life in area
communities and making it
easier to operate a business or
telecommute will benefit all
residents of the north-central
region, he said.
Sidlowski said it also will
make it more possible for peo-
ple living in the region only
part time to move to the region
permanently.
Even if they do not move to
the region, some may find it
more feasible to start local
businesses or move part of an
existing business to north cen-
tral Wisconsin, he said.
Broadband opens new possi-
bilities both for existing resi-
dents and those others who can
bring new business opportuni-
ties and jobs to the region.
According to the draft plan,
some of the goals of expanding
broadband include:
reducing the need to trav-
el long distances for medical
care;
improving local access to
education and training re-
sources;
enabling seniors to access
Social Security and Medicare
information online;
speeding response and
improve coordination of emer-
gency services;
supporting new business
formation, telecommuting and
job development;
facilitating marketing of
the region to visitors; or
enabling government to
more efficiently deliver ser-
vices to local residents.
Assisting groups
Sidlowski said many organi-
zations will be involved in the
project.
For example, Grow North
will work through its regional
committee to contact appropri-
ate officials in each of the five
counties to determine the most
efficient approach to identify
and build a database of season-
al homeowners.
For example, county tax
records are public records and
avaiable on DVD for a small
fee. Residential property tax
records may be sorted to identi-
fy homeowners with mailing
addresses outside the county.
Other options will be reviewed
with the most efficient chosen.
A regional database with con-
tact information for identified
seasonal homeowners will be
assembled, said Sidlowski.
Local utilities such as Wis-
consin Public Service will be
contacted for assistance in
identifying owners of seasonal-
ly vacant homes and facilitat-
ing awareness of the ongoing
research.
In addition, area colleges
and universities will be ap-
proached regarding possible
assistance in organizing the
database.
The planning effort is part of
the PSCs larger LinkWisconsin
initiative, which includes map-
ping of broadband availability
under a federal stimulus grant.
Plans for other regions of the
state will be available in the
near future, and can be re-
viewed at tinyurl.com/3t6l7hr.
People can comment on the
draft plan on the website or
they may direct their com-
ments to Jeff Richter at the
PSC, via e-mail to
jeff.richter@wisconsin.gov or
via phone at (608) 267-9624.
Questions on the draft plan
can be addressed to Sidlowski
via phone at (715) 522-0009, or
to team leader Bart Lamers at
(715) 369-1119.

Vocke appointed to state board
Gov. Scott Walker recently
named the Honorable Timo-
thy Vocke, a former district at-
torney for Vilas County, to the
Government Accountability
Board (GAB).
Judge Vockes deep com-
mitment to upholding the rule
of law and years of experience
on the bench will make him
an excellent addition to the
GAB, Walker said. The GAB
plays an integral role by pre-
serving the integrity and
openness of our government
and our elections, and I know
that Judge Vocke will
strengthen the GAB and its
mission with his independent
voice.
Vocke wasnt without
thanks to Gov. Walker for the
appointment.
I thank Gov. Walker for se-
lecting me to serve, he said.
Serving Wisconsin on the
GAB is a high honor, and I
will perform my duties with
great diligence in order to up-
hold this boards great inde-
pendent tradition.
Vocke comes to the GAB
with nearly 40 years of expe-
rience as a district attorney
and as a judge in Wisconsin.
Vocke has served Wisconsin
as an assistant district attor-
ney for Racine County from
1973-76, district attorney for
Vilas County from 1976-79,
circuit judge from 1979-83,
and reserve judge for the
state of Wisconsin from 1983-
92 and from 1994 to the pre-
sent.
In addition to his experi-
ence as a district attorney and
judge, Vocke also serves as a
medical malpractice mediator
for the Wisconsin Supreme
Court from 1986 to the pre-
sent and as a referee for the
Wisconsin Supreme Court
from 1987 to the present.
He received his Juris Doc-
tor from the University of
Wisconsin Law School and his
bachelors degree from the
University of Kansas.
The GAB consists of six
members. Each member must
have been elected to and
served as a judge of a court of
record in Wisconsin. Members
are appointed to six-year
terms by the governor from
nominations submitted by the
GAB Candidate Committee.

Eagle River Light and Water Utility
Water Quality Report
We are pleased to present this years Annual Water Quality Report. This report is in-
tended to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day.
Our job is to provide a safe and dependable supply of drinking water, and we want you
to understand our ongoing efforts to improve the quality and protection of the water re-
sources we provide.
Drinking water for the City of Eagle River comes from three ground source wells with
an average depth of 102 feet. The constituents of your drinking water are routinely mon-
itored in accordance with federal and state laws. The table below shows results of our
water quality monitoring for the period of January 1st through December 31st, 2010. Bac-
teriological samples are taken twice per month; all others are taken once per year.
Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) shown in the table are set at very stringent lev-
els. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents,
a person would have to drink two liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime
to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. We are proud to
provide drinking water that meets or exceeds federal and state standards, and through
our monitoring and compliance efforts, will continue our commitment to provide high qual-
ity, SAFE drinking water.
We hope that you find this information useful, and do not hesitate to contact us with any
concerns you may have about your drinking water. If you have any questions about this
report or your water utility, please contact the Eagle River Light and Water Utility, P.O.
Box 1269, 525 E. Maple St., Eagle River, WI 54521 or call (715) 479-8121. Regularly
scheduled meetings of the Eagle River Light and Water Commission are held on the sec-
ond Tuesday of each month at the above address.

Water System Information
If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please con-
tact Daryl Rutkowski at (715) 479-6739.
Health Information
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least
small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessar-
ily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and po-
tential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agencys
safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the gener-
al population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or
other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from
infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care
providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by
cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental
Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Source(s) of Water
To obtain a summary of the source water assessment, please contact Daryl Rutkowski at
(715) 479-6739.
Educational Information
The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes,
streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the
land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases,
radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals
or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage
treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or
result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil
and gas production, mining or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agricul-
ture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals,
which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also
come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.
. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and
gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the
amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regula-
tions establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same pro-
tection for public health.
Number of Contaminants Required to be Tested
This table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the last
five years. The CCR may contain up to five years worth of water quality results. If a water
system tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the most recent year are
shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR are
from the past five years.
Additional Health Information
While your drinking water meets USEPAs standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of ar-
senic. USEPAs standard balances the current understanding of arsenics possible health effects
against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. USEPAcontinues to research the health
effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high con-
centrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

Despite uncertain-looking
weather conditions, the
eighth annual Three Lakes
Car Show drew nearly 2,000
people to the grounds of
Northwoods Petroleum Muse-
um Saturday.
Show coordinator Ed Jacob-
sen said public turnout for the
event was larger than last
year, as attendees saw more
than 100 vehicle exhibits.
In spite of the threatening
weather, we had a bigger and
better show than last year,
said show coordinator Ed Ja-
cobsen. There were 110 vehi-
cles exhibited and we esti-
mate that almost 2,000 people
attended the show.
The oldest car on display
was a 1914 Model T Ford
owned by George Scholz of
Sugar Camp. The car has been
in the Scholz family since its
factory minting in 1914.
The newest car was a 2011
Chevy Camaro.
The best of show award was
given to Terry Flannery of
Goodman for his 1937 logging
truck.
The show was a success,
said Jacobsen. Im glad that
the Pink Ribbon Riders and
the Northern Lights Snowmo-
bile Clubs were able to benefit
from the food and drink sales.
The petroleum museum is
pleased to sponsor such a fun
event and help out the com-
munity at the same time.
Three Lakes Car Show draws
crowd to petroleum museum
Attendees at the 2011 Three Lakes Car Show at the Northwoods
Petroleum Museum casually looked at more than 100 vehicle ex-
hibits, with cars ranging from a 1914 Model T Ford to a 2011
Chevrolet Camaro. --Photos By Jan Hintz

Rice Lake Road in the town
of Three Lakes remains closed
for safety reasons related to
weather conditions experi-
enced in April and May, ac-
cording to Three Lakes Town
Shop foreman Tim Rutzen.
The road was originally
closed in March at the end of
the ice fishing season with a
large steel gate marking the
closed portion. Vehicles may
access the road up to the gate.
Late-season accumulations
of heavy, wet snow as late as
May 3, followed by extensive
rainfalls in May, have resulted
in water levels in the Thunder
Lake State Wildlife Area that
are at all-time record levels,
said Rutzen.
Complicating matters is the
extensive beaver population in
the marsh, said Rutzen. Even
after removing dams and clear-
ing culverts, water continues to
run over segments of the road.
The gale-force winds experi-
enced for two days in May com-
pletely washed out the boat
ramp area at the north end of
Thunder Lake.
Rice Lake Road is a sand-
gravel composite and despite
extensive restoration grading
by town crew employees to
raise the level of the road
above the water table, the
road so far has been unable to
sufficiently dry and firm up
enough to allow for vehicle
traffic. Officials stated that
even vehicles with four-wheel
drive would quickly become
mired in the soft, wet sand.
Town officials said theyre
aware that Rice Lake Road
serves as a major entry point
to the Thunder Lake State
Wildlife Area at all times of
the year, especially in the
summer for bird-watching
and berry gathering.
But the safety of those
traveling on the road must
take precedence over public
access during a year that
brings extraordinary condi-
tions, said Rutzen.
Should sightseers, wildlife
observers or berry pickers get
into any kind of difficulty far
into the marsh, and an emer-
gency vehicle is unable to re-
spond, this creates a dangerous
situation that puts both the re-
sponders and public at risk.
There is no shoulder on the
road, and vehicles that slide
off the road could potentially
end up in one of the deep irri-
gation ditches that run the
length of the road.
The town shop provided no
estimate for when the road
may be opened.
In the meantime, foot and
bicycle travel are permitted,
although officials noted that
the soft sand makes biking
difficult, and those entering
with bikes should be prepared
to dismount and walk tough
stretches.
Rice Lake Road remains closed to vehicular traffic

Twelve Northland Pines
staff members, with a com-
bined 338 years in the school
district, will retire at the end of
the 2010-11 school year.
Retiring teachers include
Diane Bugni, Karen Thyne,
Katherine Dobb, David Skip
Niedfeldt, Sherry Stecker,
Phyllis Case, Mary Beth De-
Faut and Principal Duane Frey.
Also retiring are secretary
Lois Steiner, school psycholo-
gist Keith Lodholz and house-
keeper Carolynn Gleisner.
The following is a biographi-
cal sketch and comments from
each retiree in order of years
served in the district:
Lois Steiner
Lois Steiner has served as
secretary for 46 years, since her
hiring in 1965 under then-
Principal Marshall Ehle. She is
the only secretary the Eagle
River Elementary School has
had.
Before taking the job as sec-
retary, Steiner worked for a fi-
nance company in Marshfield.
Over the years, Steiner said
she has seen a number of
changes in the district.
We have had a lot of
changes through the years,
she said. To name a few con-
solidating into one district and
bringing St. Germain, Sayner,
Land O Lakes, Conover and
Eagle River together as the
Northland Pines School Dis-
trict. Kindergarten went from
half-time to all-day classes.
Moving into a new building
was a very big and exciting
change and, of course, technolo-
gy.
Steiner said she is looking
forward to gardening in her re-
tirement. She also plans to do
some volunteer work.
I will miss seeing all the
regular kids in the fall and
meeting all the new families,
said Steiner. Northland Pines
is a great school district. We
have a caring and hardworking
staff. Our four children gradu-
ated from Northland Pines and
went on to college all gradu-
ating with honors.
Steiner has two grandchil-
dren now in college.
I think this has something
to say about our small-town
school district, she said. Lets
keep it that way.
Karen Thyne
Karen Thyne has taught in
the Northland Pines School
District for 38 years and most
recently taught third grade.
Thynes first position was
teaching third grade in the
New Berlin School District. She
said her mother influenced her
decision to begin teaching.
My mother guided me into
the teaching field, and that
turned out to be the wisest and
most appropriate choice, said
Thyne.
The retiring teacher said the
biggest changes shes seen over
the years were in technology
and family structure.
Family structure has
changed, putting more respon-
sibilities on children and addi-
tional stress on family mem-
bers, said Thyne. In addition
to teaching academic skills, so-
cial and life skills have become
vital inclusions in daily in-
struction.
For retirement, Thyne said
taking care of her family will be
the foremost object of her at-
tention. But she also hopes to
travel.
Hopefully, I will resume
traveling to my home state of
Hawaii, and perhaps explore
distant places of interest, she
said. Time permitting, volun-
teering to help animals and
people also is included in fu-
ture plans.
Thyne plans to volunteer in
an educational capacity.
My plans are to continue to
volunteer and coordinate the
Earth Base Recycling Center &
Clubs weekly sessions, work
with art teachers on the Fire
Prevention Poster Contest and
coordinate the Delta Kappa
Gamma Literary Competition
for the Northland Pines School
District.
Thyne added a message to
parents and children in the
Eagle River area who she has
worked with over the years.
I give you my gratitude and
appreciation for providing
memories that will be cher-
ished forever, she said. The 36
years flew by all too quickly.
Until we meet again, aloha.
Mayme Hoffman
Mayme Hoffman is a kinder-
garten teacher who has been in
District for 37 years.
Prior to moving to the North
Woods, Hoffman taught pre-
school for two years in Brown
Deer and Sheboygan.
Hoffman said she chose
early childhood education be-
cause of her love for working
with children
During her teaching career,
Hoffman has been a part of a
number of changes, including
teaching locations, district
changes and technological ad-
vancements.
I have taught in a town
hall, a church, a community
center, a school basement and,
for the past several years, a
beautiful school in St. Ger-
main, said Hoffman. I also
went from half-day to all-day
kindergarten. The changes in
technology have been amaz-
ing.
Hoffman said she plans to
read, relax and spend more
time with friends and family in
her retirement.
I will miss all the people I
have worked with throughout
the years, she said.
Katherine Dobbe
Katherine Dobbe has
worked in the Northland Pines
School District for 33 years,
teaching first, second and third
grades and middle school sci-
ence.
Before her work at Pines,
Dobbe worked in the Adams-
Friendship district for one year.
She said she chose the field
of teaching because she enjoys
watching the learning process.
The most enjoyable part is
when their eyes light up and
you can see something clicked
and they got it, she said. They
feel so proud of themselves and
are eager to share with others.
The biggest change the retir-
ing teacher has seen over the
years is technological advance-
ment.
When I first started, we
didnt have any computers or
telephones in the classroom
she said. Computers were
taught by a special teacher
twice a week. Today, we are
communicating with parents
online, doing attendance and
grades online, and the students
are using the Internet to en-
hance their learning.
As her first move as a re-
tiree, Dobbe said she and her
husband plan a trip to Alaska
in June.
My husband and I also
want to go camping with fami-
ly and friends as much as pos-
sible, she said. Maybe now I
will have time to improve my
golf game.
Dobbe added that she would
miss all of the people shes met
over her years in the district.
I have had the privilege of
working with some amazing
teachers over my 33 years at
Northland Pines, and I will
miss them, she said. I would
like to thank all the people who
have helped me. I will probably
substitute teach for a while, so
I will continue working with
the students.
Keith Lodholz
Keith Lodholz has been a
school psychologist in the
No r t h l a n d
Pines School
District for 33
years.
In retire-
ment, Lodholz
said he plans
to spend more
time outdooors
and with his
family.
Im going to be spending
more time pursuing outdoor ac-
tivities and spending more
time with children and grand-
children, he said.
Lodholz said hes consider-
ing part-time employment as a
school psychologist or as a ther-
apist or counselor in an outpa-
tient setting.
I will miss my colleagues
and I will miss supporting stu-
dents and families, said Lod-
holz.
David Skip Niedfeldt
Skip Niedfeldt has spent his
entire 32-year teaching career
at the Northland Pines School
District. He taught elementary
and middle school art for 27
years and high school art for
five years.
Niedfeldt said the decision
to teach came from an inspira-
tional college class.
A single ceramics course
changed my major from biology
to art, he said. And, following
the encouragement of my class-
mates, I turned to education.
Niedfeldt said the facilities
for art in the district have im-
proved vastly over the years.
Art on a cart, in the base-
ment or cafeteria and traveling
between five buildings were my
first experiences teaching first-
through eighth-grade art, said
Niedfeldt. Today, we have out-
standing art room facilities
with kilns, sinks and more staff
providing quality art educa-
tion.
Although technology has ad-
vanced, Niedfeldt said hes kept
the past alive in the classroom.
Computers, printers, digital
cameras and iPods have re-
placed typewriters, film cam-
eras and record albums, he
said. However, in the art room,
we still listen to albums, devel-
op film negatives for prints, use
pencils to draw, brushes to
paint and potters wheels for
clay.
Coaching, crafting and trav-
eling topped the agenda for
Niedfeldts retirement plans.
Ill continue to stay active
playing and coaching volley-
ball, he said. I also plan to
golf, hunt and fish. Pottery and
woodworking will be my hob-
bies. My wife, Jan, and I will be
traveling to Sussex for fun and
games with the grandchildren
and, of course, working on the
never-ending to-do list.
Sherry Stecker
Sherry Stecker has been the
Northland Pines High School
Spanish teacher for 26 years.
Stecker worked in a reading
center at Hopkins Street
School for Milwaukee Public
Schools for several years before
moving to St. Germain and
gaining employment at North-
land Pines.
The drive to teach has been
with Stecker since she was a
young child, she said.
From a young age, I always
wanted to be a teacher, said
Stecker. Are there any children
who dont play school? I used to
use a typewriter, carbon paper
and Childcraft books to make
up assignments.
Stecker said that, while
teachers have struggled to keep
up with changing technology,
the advancements have al-
lowed instructors to work more
efficiently.
I marvel at how much time
technology has saved in many
different areas, said Stecker.
These changes have, however,
caused many changes in teach-
ing techniques that all teachers
have needed to keep up with.
The retiring Spanish teach-
er said she wont have a prob-
lem keeping busy in her free
time.
My bucket list includes
starting genealogy research,
completing scrapbooks for my
children, playing golf and ten-
nis and traveling a bit during
some winter months, said
Stecker. I also want to build
my own small greenhouse in
order to grow some things, be-
come more political and do vol-
unteer work in several differ-
ent areas.
Stecker said shes enjoyed
her years teaching for the dis-
trict, as well as being a part of
a group of dedicated teachers.
There are many colleagues
who are among the best in the
teaching profession, she said.
Diane Bugni
Diane Bugni has taught in
District for 24 years, but has
been a speech pathologist for
40.
I started working for CESA
in 1971 and was hired by
Northland Pines in 1987. I just
completed my 40th year in edu-
cation, said Bugni.
Bugni said the decision to
teach came easy, and added
that teaching speech pathology
in particular has been worth-
while.
I have always had a passion
for working with children, she
said. Working as a speech
pathologist, I have been able to
work on the students commu-
nication skills. This has been
both challenging and reward-
ing.
Bugni said she has seen a
great many changes during her
40 years as an instructor.
We have seen changes in fa-
cilities, materials, special-edu-
cation rules and regulations as
well as technology, he said.
Weve come a long way and
most of the changes have cer-
tainly been for the better,
which is a good thing.
For retirement, Bugni said
she plans to do volunteer work,
travel and start some house-
hold projects.
I feel very fortunate to have
worked with such a wonderful
staff and I will certainly miss
the kids, said Bugni.
Phyllis Case
Phyllis Case has worked
with the Northland Pines
School District for 21 years and
has a total of 30 years of teach-
ing experience.
Case worked for a small
country school in Richfield for
eight years and for Hartford
High School for one year. She
also worked in Illinois for the
District of Lake County for two
years.
I chose teaching because of
my love for children, said
Case. I chose special education
because those wonderful chil-
dren tugged at my heart and I
just needed to help them. They
will always be a very special
part of me.
Case said the expansion of
the special needs program was
the biggest change she experi-
enced.
I have experienced many
pendulum swings in the educa-
tion field, she said. I began
teaching in a self-contained
classroom of 13 students in a
basement to full inclusion of
students with special needs.
For retirement, Cases plans
include traveling, spending
time with her grandchildren,
enjoying her hobbies of golfing,
fishing and snowmobiling,
doing volunteer work and sub-
stitute teaching.
It has been a pleasure being
part of the Northland Pines
School District, said Case.
Even though I am looking for-
ward to retiring, I will miss
teaching. Thanks go to the won-
derful staff I have been privi-
leged to work with. I will truly
miss them all. Thanks for the
memories.
Mary Beth DeFaut
Mary Beth DeFaut has been
a special education teacher
School District for 17 years.
Before her time at North-
land Pines, she taught in Min-
nesota, Manitowoc and Mish-
icot.
DeFaut said teaching was an
easy choice for her.
I chose teaching because of
my love for children, she said.
The retiring special educa-
tion teacher cited technology as
the primary change she has
witnessed in her 17-year
tenure in the district.
DeFaut said she plans to see
her children and grandchildren
more often. She also plans to
travel to warmer climates, take
walks on beaches, read, volun-
teer, substitute teach and ex-
plore new adventures.
I will miss all the students
and the wonderfully supportive
staff I have worked with in all
three buildings, said DeFaut.
Carolynn Gleisner
Carolynn Gleisner has been
a housekeeper
with the
No r t h l a n d
Pines School
District for 17
years, working
in the K-8
building.
She plans
on relaxing
during her re-
tirement.
Duane Frey
Duane Frey has been princi-
pal of the three elementary
schools in the Northland Pines
School District for 15 of his
33
1
/2 years in education.
Freys first teaching position
was in Melbourne, Australia, at
an all-boys high school. After a
year and a half in Melbourne,
he returned to the United
States and taught physical ed-
ucation and middle school liter-
ature in a kindergarten
through eighth-grade Catholic
school in Rhinelander for 10
years, serving as administrator
for nine.
In retirement, Frey said he
plans to spend some time in the
outdoors.
I am looking forward to
many hours of fishing, hunting
and, generally, taking advan-
tage of the time to enjoy all
hobbies, he said. Raking
leaves is not one of them, in
case anyone is interested.
I am leaving the district
with many fond memories and
will miss the students, families
and staff.

CLASSICS ON THE CHAIN The Wild Eagle Lodge hosted its
annual boat show on its docks last weekend, with about 30 classic
wooden boats on display. The proceeds from the event went to
special athletes. --Staff Photo By GARY RIDDERBUSCH
The St. Germain Town
Board passed a motion that
the town crew proceed with
graveling the new extension
of the bike and hike trail to
Old Highway 70 in its last
meeting.
There was a discussion con-
cerning finances and project-
ed trail routes for the new
stretch of the trail, known as
Phase II by the Bike and Hike
Trail Committee.
The committee received a
quote of $39,500 to extend the
bike and hike trail to Old
Highway 70. However, the
Bike and Hike Trail Commit-
tee does have a grant of about
$17,500 for this purpose.
John Vojta was concerned
that the town was not able to
shoulder the expenses for the
extension of the trail at this
time, but committee Chair-
man Mark Hiller disagreed.
Theres no doubt were
right on budget, and were ac-
tually under budget on this
project.
It was suggested that the
town crew do some of the prep
work so that costs can be cut
for labor and materials.
Also, the downtown section
of the trail as well as the sec-
tion near the intersection of
South Bay Road and Highway
70 is to be blacktopped June
22.
The town board also passed
a motion to approve the
aquatic invasive species sign
on Highway 155.
There was a discussion on
whether or not it was a good
idea to erect this sign because,
if the town allowed one sign, it
may receive many more re-
quests from other groups also
wanting a sign in the town of
St. Germain.
However, Chairman Walt
Camp stated that the town
has control over who puts a
sign up and how many signs
are allowed.
There also was a discussion
regarding adding more signs
that draw attention to the
hazards of aquatic invasive
species on highways C and 70.
Vilas County Sheriff Frank
Tomlanovich was present at the
meeting and board members
and citizens voiced concerns
and questions, mostly regard-
ing the duties of the new town
constable, Jack Santerelli.
Tomlanovich said that it is
up to the town to specify the
constables duties. The sheriff
said the constable could make
traffic stops, but it was up to
the town how much liability
the town was comfortable
with incurring.
The county also may re-
quest the services of the con-
stable, in which case the con-
stable would be covered under
the mutual aid agreement
with Vilas County.
Camp stated that, except
for the case of a life-and-death
situation, the constable
should not make traffic stops.
In other action, the board:
motioned to chip seal a
number of roads that require it;
tabled the issue of an
electrical light timer for the
memorial until a later meet-
ing due to electrical expenses;
motioned to make the
main door of the community
center building handicap ac-
cessible for a cost of $1,950
plus the electrical, which will
be around $130 to $150;
motioned to have in-
mates from McNaughton
brush an area along highways
C and 70 by the golf course,
with Steve Spears from the
golf course overseeing the
brushing. Whitetail Inn will
reimburse the town for this
expense;
motioned to purchase a
portable toilet facility for $499
plus $100 shipping for Van-
dervort Park;
tabled the issue of hand
driers versus paper towels in
the St. Germain pavilion
bathroom until more informa-
tion can be gathered;
motioned to abstain
from Vilas Countys beaver
control program; and
approved a list of beer,
liquor, cigarette and opera-
tors licenses for 2011-12.
Committee reports
Fire Chief Tim Clark re-
ported that the fire depart-
ment received 29 calls last
month.
There are a number of re-
curring problems with the new
fire engine. The warranty has
most likely expired on this ve-
hicle, but Vojta suggested com-
piling a list of the mainte-
nance issues which have come
up thus far, so the fire depart-
ment can have a trail of the
problems and expenses in-
volved with the truck.
For the Public Works/
Parks and Recreation Com-
mittee, Camp reported that
the low spots in the old land-
fill site have been filled in
with dirt from the cemetery.
Eagle Waste began to oper-
ate the transfer site June 15.
Camp plans to write a letter
to the fire department auxil-
iary notifying the department
that a dumpster will be avail-
able for cardboard at the flea
market.
Camp noted that the grass
that had been planted to fill in
the damage that winter had
done to the golf course greens
was starting to grow. Also,
business has been slower at
the golf course due to the
weather.
Bill Bates brought to the
boards attention that the
town should have a cemetery
ordinance, without which the
town could incur excess re-
sponsibility for grave plots.
Bates noted that the Lakes
Committee discussed the
aquatic invasive species signs.
The Department of Natural
Resources reported that Big
St. Germain Lake has roughly
four walleyes per acre.
Camp noted that since St.
Germain does not have a li-
brary, its citizens use of Plum
Lake Public Library and Wal-
ter Olson Memorial Library
may force the town to con-
tribute a larger amount of
money to these libraries.
The next town board meet-
ing will take place July 11 at 5
p.m. at the St. Germain Com-
munity Center.

Discover Mediaworks Inc.,
the production company be-
hind Discover Wisconsin, an-
nounced that Emmy Fink has
been chosen as its new host.
The announcement comes
after several months of a host
search audition process that
required interested applicants
to submit a video tour of their
hometown. More than 400
videos were submitted and 60
additional interested appli-
cants showed at Lambeau
Field for in-person, on-camera
interviews.
Finks first day in her new
position was June 17, as host
for an episode focusing on
Green Bay set to air March
2012.
Fink brings experience in
local and regional TV and
radio production. Most recent-
ly, she served as the host and
producer for Buzzed into
Madison segments on Madi-
sons CW-TV WBUW-57, cov-
ering local attractions to
human-interest stories.
She has served as the Wis-
consin Womens Sports Hour
host on WTSO BIG 1070 in
Madison covering UW-Badger
womens athletics. In 2005,
Fink was the sports intern at
CBS 58 WDJT-TV in Milwau-
kee where she covered the
Milwaukee Brewers, Bucks
and Green Bay Packers. Her
work has been honored with
multiple awards from Madi-
son Magazine as well as Madi-
son Isthmus newspaper. She
is a UW-Whitewater honors
graduate.
I am thrilled to be the next
host of Discover Wisconsin,
said Fink. It has been a
dream of mine since watching
the show with my parents
when I was a child. I even ap-
plied for an internship at Dis-
cover Mediaworks when I was
at UW-Whitewater. I love the
shows format and immediate
connection with everyone in
Wisconsin.
In 1986, Dick Rose created
Discover Wisconsin with the
idea of showcasing Wiscon-
sins many vacation treasures
on a television show dedicated
to Wisconsin tourism. Discov-
er Wisconsin will celebrate
25 years on television in 2012.
The show has received crit-
ical acclaim from the Chica-
go/Midwest Chapter of the
National Academy of Televi-
sion Arts & Sciences, with the
former host, Stephanie Klett,
winning an Emmy in 2010.
Klett left the show in January
2011 to serve as the state sec-
retary of the Department of
Tourism.
Emmy is an excellent ad-
dition to the Discover Wiscon-
sin family, said Mark Rose,
CEO of Discover Mediaworks.
Her experience will comple-
ment the years of energy, ex-
citement and knowledge that
our host of 18 years,
Stephanie Klett, created as a
hallmark in Discover Wiscon-
sin.
Discover Mediaworks, the
production company behind
Discover Wisconsin, is a full-
service strategic communica-
tions company offering video
production, interactive solu-
tions and comprehensive inte-
grated communications ser-
vices to clients nationwide.

The Vilas County News-Re-
view has named Justin Knitt,
a senior studio arts major and
a graphic design minor at
UW-Green Bay, as the sum-
mer intern working on the Va-
cation Week publication.
Knitt was born and raised
in Sheboygan and graduated
from Kiel High School. His
parents presently reside in
Kiel.
The North Woods is noth-
ing new to Knitt. His father
was raised in St. Germain,
and his aunt and uncle own
hardware stores in St. Ger-
main and Boulder Junction.
His grandparents also call the
North Woods home in St. Ger-
main and Eagle River.
What started as a love of
drawing in high school led
Knitt to pursing an art degree
at UW-Green Bay. His original
emphasis was drawing, but he
quickly shifted to photogra-
phy when he realized the pos-
sibilities with a camera.
During his four years in
college, Knitt has applied
himself to his studies and
many art endeavors. He won
first place in the Manito Art
Show and the Founders
Award in the Presque Isle Art
Show last summer, as well as
receiving honorable mention
for his senior art exhibition in
photography last May.
His interest in photography
led him to the News-Review
internship, where he is gain-
ing experience in both the
newsroom and in the field.
Im still not 100% what I
want to be when I grow up, so
exploring this side of journal-
ism under Editor Gary Rid-
derbusch and Publisher Kurt
Krueger has really shown me
what options are out there,
said Knitt, who plans to grad-
uate in December and begin
searching for employment in
the photography, graphics or
business fields.
In his free time, Knitt is an
outdoorsman, enjoying hunt-
ing, snowmobiling, ice fishing
and waterskiing.
Being outside, on the lake,
lets all the stress of the day
just roll away, he said. I
wanted to spend one more
summer up North before I had
to go out and find a job, and
how better to do it than gain-
ing on-the-job knowledge on
the way, said Knitt.
Ridderbusch said Knitt is
gaining valuable photography
and writing experience work-
ing on both Vacation Week
and the News-Review, cover-
ing summer events.
As Justin continues to get
more acclimated to his tempo-
rary role at the Vilas County
News-Review, he continues to
improve and produce quality
articles and photographs for
businesses marketing their
product through Vacation
Week, said Ridderbusch.

Northwoods Land Trust
(NWLT) will hold its annual
meeting Friday, June 24, at the
Newbold Town Hall, located on
the east side of Highway 47
about four miles north of
Rhinelander at 4590 Highway
47 N.
According to NWLT execu-
tive director Bryan Pierce, par-
ticipants can meet the NWLT
board for a free light lunch and
social time at noon. The land
trusts annual meeting will
begin at 1 p.m. with a summa-
ry report and virtual tour of the
years highlighted conservation
projects and other achieve-
ments.
Following the annual meet-
ing, the group will carpool back
into the heart of Newbold to
visit the Walter and Nina
Wellenstein familys conserva-
tion properties, said Pierce.
Over 1,450 acres of their pri-
vate land have been protected
with perpetual conservation
easements through the North-
woods Land Trust.
Pierce noted that this large
property includes three De-
partment of Natural Re-
sources-identified wild lakes
either entirely or mostly pro-
tected by the family. The site
also includes most of the natu-
ral shoreline of the Fredrichs
Flowage, a series of small im-
poundments which provide
breeding and migration habi-
tat for ducks and other wildlife.
We welcome anyone inter-
ested in our conservation ef-
forts to come and celebrate
these recent additions to our
growing list of conserved
lands, he said.
Pierce recommends wearing
long pants, long sleeves and in-
sect and tick protection. A guid-
ed walk will include some trail
hiking.
A response is requested to
help plan for lunch by contact-
ing the NWLT office at (715)

The winners of the Vilas County Lakes Association Blue Heron
Shoreline Stewardship Awards include, from left, Tom and Mary
Reardon, Helen and John Rossmiller and John Annin. Missing from

The Vilas County Lakes As-
sociation (VCLA) has an-
nounced its 2010 Blue Heron
Shoreline Stewardship Award
winners.
Award recipients included
John and Marilyn Annin,
nominated by the Black Oak
Lake Association in Land O
Lakes; Tom and Mary Rear-
don, nominated by the Anvil
Lake Association, town of
Washington; and John and
Helen Rossmiller on Pardee
Lake in Winchester, nominat-
ed by Carolyn Scholl, Vilas
County conservationist.
The awards were presented
at VCLAs Celebrating Lakes
Day Conference June 17 at
Moon Beach Camp in St. Ger-
main.
In addition to the 2010 Blue
Heron Awards, a special recog-
nition plaque was presented to
Sara Johnson, director of
North Lakeland Discovery
Center on Statehouse Lake in
Manitowish Waters and to
Glenn Svetnicka, director of
Moon Beach Camp on Moon
Lake in St. Germain.
Due to their unique mission
and physical facilities, these
nature education and confer-
ence centers do not align well
with Blue Heron residential
criteria. Nevertheless, Moon
Beach Camp has restored
more than 1,200 feet of shore-
line and used rain barrels and
rain gardens to effectively re-
duce erosion and surface
runoff into Moon Lake. They
have done this with the help of
state and local grant funds
and countless volunteer
hours.
Discovery Center restored
several hundred feet of shore-
line buffer damaged in the Au-
gust 2005 tornado. The Vilas
County Land and Water Con-
servation Department de-
signed this restoration to at-
tract a variety of bird species.
Brent Hanson of Hansons
Garden Village in
Rhinelander designed a large
rain garden outside Discovery
Centers remodeled kitchen
and conference building.
The rain garden absorbs
water from the large roof of
this building and from the
surrounding walks, patio and
lawn. As a result, the lake is
protected from pollution, and
the native flowers in the rain
garden add considerable beau-
ty. These restorations were
partially funded with a grant
from Vilas County Land and
Water Conservation Depart-
ment and from Brent Hanson.
Two teams evaluated the
Blue Heron Award winners.
One team consisting of Sandy
Gillum, Rollie Alger, Clyde
Owens, Mary Platner and
Carolyn Scholl, visited the
Annin and Reardon proper-
ties.
A second team, consisting of
Susan Knight, Gretchen
Watkins, Sue and Alan Drum,
visited the Rossmiller proper-
ty. The three winners scored
high marks in all five sections
of criteria: driveway and park-
ing area; structures and septic
system; yard and recreation
area (outside 35-foot buffer);
shoreline area (from water to
35 feet inland); and entire lot
area.
Drum, VCLA board mem-
ber, said the Blue Heron
Award emphasizes the need to
reduce human impact on lake
ecosystems.
Many people purchase
lake lots because they enjoy
the peace and beauty of na-
ture, she said. By limiting
their footprint, award winners
spotlight the benefits of a nat-
ural shoreland buffer extend-
ing 35 to 50 feet inland from
the water. Native trees, shrubs
and flowers require little
maintenance and no fertilizer.
They also provide an area that
effectively traps debris and
pollutants in surface water
runoff. The buffer area is a
necessary habitat for many in-
teresting animals like frogs,
turtles, ducks, blue herons and
otters.
Drum said the VCLA ex-
pects the Blue Heron Award
winners to serve as examples
for lakeshore owners who
wish to preserve the ecology of
their lakes.
If you feel that your lake
lot could benefit from shore-
land restoration, contact the
Vilas County Land and Water
Conservation Department at
vilaslandandwater.org, said
Drum. Talk to Quita Sheehan
or Carolyn Scholl, who can
create a landscape plan and
provide information on avail-
able grants to help with the
cost.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2011 VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS 11A
STATE wildlife biologists have
just confirmed what many of us
grouse hunters suspected a year
ago, that Wisconsins ruffed grouse
may still be headed toward the
peak of their population cycle.
The Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR) reported a year ago
that grouse populations reached
their cyclic peak in 2009, and were
likely on the downswing. They
based that on a 6% drop in spring
drumming counts in 2010.
My July 21 column of last sum-
mer, titled Dont write off the
grouse peak just yet, explained in
great detail why it was entirely
too early for biologists to say
grouse numbers were on the
downswing.
And guess what? Last week, the
DNR issued a press release saying
that, with a 38% increase in
spring drumming activity this
year, it appears the grouse popula-
tion is on the rise once again.
This is surprising, wrote Scott
Walter, an upland wildlife ecolo-
gist for the DNR. You have to give
him credit for being honest, even
though they were wrong to jump
to conclusions about that tiny
drumming downswing last spring.
Once again, department biolo-
gists dont have their finger on the
pulse of whats going on in the
field. If they did, they would have
realized that last years early
spring could have messed with the
accuracy of their drumming
counts. And had they spent any
time afield last fall, they should
have known that the 2010 brood-
rearing season was much better
than the rainy, cold spring of 2009.
Its a little disappointing that
professionals who are paid to know
these things actually know less
than hunters in the field. But then,
some deer hunters have been echo-
ing that same theme for years. And
like always, the truth is probably
somewhere in the middle.
Grouse drumming counts in
2011 were actually up 43% in the
northern region, which is where
my attention is focused. That enor-
mous increase is due mostly to
new recruitment last spring, which
can be attributed to a warm June.
Heres what I wrote last
July: My guess, then, is that
brood production will be way
ahead of last year and that
2010 could emerge as the next
peak year in the grouse popu-
lation cycle.
The only thing that would
change that, I reasoned, is if we
had a banner nesting season in
2011 to go along with an increase
in the adult population. Such an
event could mean even higher
drumming counts in 2012.
So hows it looking? Well, right
now, as this years grouse eggs are
hatching and some chicks are al-
ready working their way from
down to feathers, it is so far, so
good. The past week, weve had a
warm stretch with little rain.
The experts say that grouse
numbers fluctuate for reasons not
well understood. I disagree. You
can track the ups and downs of
the grouse cycle based on brood
production, and nothing affects
that production more than June
weather.
A long string of cold, rainy days
is a grouse chick killer. In the first
three weeks of life, young grouse
are covered with down prior to the
growth of feathers. The down does-
nt shed water, which makes the
chicks vulnerable to death by
pneumonia and exposure during
extended periods of cold, damp
weather.
Though we had a much-needed
8 inches of rainfall in June 2010,
that rain was intermittent and
came without the lingering cold
fronts we saw in 2009. Big groups
of turkey poults were another rea-
son for optimism, for they also
need warm weather to avoid sick-
ness and to see production of in-
sects a high-protein staple in
those early weeks of life.
For the rest of June, the key is
avoiding four or more straight
days of cold, rainy weather. Young
grouse need a chance to dry out
and warm up between rains. Once
they get those oily feathers, expo-
sure becomes less of a concern.
I wrote this grouse column not
to boast about being right on
something however unusual
but because the 2011 drumming
counts are great news for ruffed
grouse hunters.
The news in general these days
is depressing enough without get-
ting false indications of a popula-
tion downswing for our favorite
bird the fastest, most elusive
upland game bird in Wisconsins
forests.
Its probably too early to be get-
ting overly excited about a hunt-
ing season thats still three
months away. But I cant help it.
Gracie, our youngest black Lab, is
ready for a second season that is
holding great promise.
Her first season was nothing
short of phenomenal, on both
grouse and pheasants. She hunts
like a male and obeys like a fe-
male, and it doesnt get much bet-
ter than that. Shes a blessing, like
everything else in life. Thats why
we named her Grace.
Keep in mind that its never too
early to start conditioning dogs for
the fall hunting seasons. In fact,
most trainers have already started
to get their dogs in shape. Trips to
the lake work well in the heat of
summer.
With this upbeat grouse re-
port, you have more reason
than ever to start preparing.
Its going to be a great fall.
Boost in grouse drumming no surprise here

Preliminary estimates show
that Wisconsin hunters regis-
tered 40,103 turkeys during
the 2011 spring turkey season,
according to the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR).
A total of 210,059 permits
were issued for the spring
hunt, according to DNR li-
censing officials.
Zone 1 produced the highest
overall turkey harvest at
12,253 birds, followed by Zone
3 with 9,848 turkeys. The best
hunter success appears to have
been in Zone 2, with a prelimi-
nary success rate of 25%, fol-
lowed by Zones 1, 3, 4, and 5,
all at 18% success. Overall, the
statewide success rate was
19% and, as in past years, suc-
cess rates were higher in the
earlier time periods.
The 2011 spring registra-
tion total shows a 16% de-
crease from the 2010 harvest
of 47,722 birds.
Until very recently,
turkeys in Wisconsin experi-
enced weather conditions con-
ducive to population growth,
said Scott Walter, upland
wildlife ecologist for the DNR.
There was a long string of
mild winters combined with
the warm, dry spring weather
favorable for breeding. How-
ever, weather over the last few
years has been challenging for
wild turkeys across the state.
Wisconsin does not attempt
to estimate statewide wild
turkey populations, but sever-
al long, snow-filled and cold
winters (2007-10) and recent
wet (2008) or cold (2009, 2011)
springs have provided the per-
fect recipe to nudge turkey
numbers downward, according
to wildlife biologists. Snow,
wind and rain during portions
of the first three 2011 spring-
time periods also may have re-
duced hunter effort and suc-
cess, further contributing to
the drop in total harvest.
National Wild Turkey Fed-
eration (NWTF) staff and vol-
unteers have also fielded sev-
eral questions regarding the
impacts of an extended spring
and heavy, late snowfalls on
the birds, according to NWTF
regional biologist Rick Horton.
While we dont discount
the possibility of some local
wild turkey winter mortality,
we feel that the perception
that there were fewer birds
was largely because the late
spring delayed winter flock
dispersal and breeding activi-
ty, said Horton.
Regional similarities
Other Midwestern states
have experienced similar de-
clines in the 2011 spring
turkey harvest. Harvests in
Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, In-
diana, Ohio, Missouri and
South Dakota were all down
between 9% and 25% as com-
pared to 2010 levels.
Turkey biologists across the
region agree that a combination
of hard winters and, in particu-
lar, cool/wet springs have affect-
ed turkey behavior and num-
bers. In addition, poor condi-
tions during the spring hunt
may have reduced hunter effort
and success in some areas.
The fact that harvests de-
clined across such a broad re-
gion this spring certainly sug-
gests that weather is the like-
ly culprit, said Walter.
Wildlife officials said turkey
restoration is one of the great-
est wildlife management suc-
cess stories in Wisconsin. Op-
portunities for turkey hunting
and viewing abound in Wiscon-
sins mix of woodlands and
farmlands. The adaptability of
turkeys has been a pleasant
surprise, resulting in far more
birds and hunting opportuni-
ties than thought possible
even 15 years ago.
2011 fall season
Some hunters have ex-
pressed concern that the up-
coming fall turkey season may
reduce turkey numbers and
impact their chance of bag-
ging a turkey next spring. But
fall permit numbers are set at
conservative levels in consid-
eration of impacts on future
hunts, said wildlife managers.
While the fall season allows
for the harvest of hens, few
hens are harvested during the
fall hunt in Wisconsin. For ex-
ample, only 4,191 hens were
harvested statewide during
the 2010 fall season.
Harvesting fewer than
5,000 hens in the entire state
is highly unlikely to have a
negative effect on the popula-
tion as a whole, said Walter.
The 2011 Fall Turkey and
2012 Spring Turkey Regula-
tions are included in the 2011
Small Game Regulations
pamphlet, available on the
Hunting Regulations page of
the DNR website and in hard
copy at license vendors. More
information is available on
the wild turkey page of the
DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.
The fall 2011 wild turkey
season will run from Sept. 17
through Nov. 17, with an ex-
tended season for Zones 1-5
likely, pending final approval
by the Legislature. If ap-
proved, the extended season
would run from Nov. 28
through Dec. 31 for Zones 1-5
only. Hunters should check
the DNR wild turkey Web
page for updates.
The deadline for applying for
a fall permit through the pref-
erence drawing process is Aug.
1.
Hunters bag 40,103 spring turkeys

While the lake levels are much better, the water
temperature is quite low for this time of year due to
the recent cold weather.
This means that the weed growth is behind for this
time of year. All in all, it is making the conditions on
the lakes still seem like May.
Walleye fishing is good at this point, the mayfly
hatch will mean a significant change for bait usage,
with leeches and crawlers now increasing greatly in
popularity. Minnows will still work, especially after the
hatch is over, but the smaller leeches are working quite
well at this point. Finding the mud and soft-bottom
areas and working them in the evenings with these
small leeches works best.
Northerns are hitting quite well, with all weed
areas holding nice populations of feeding fish. As far
as live bait, chubs or larger minnows work best, either
jigged or slip-bobbered in the weeds. Anglers will be
surprised with how deep these fish are as long as they
find weeds.
Bass action is great at this point with the balance of
the spawning done for the year and the fish moving to
their summer haunts. This movement might be held up
on some lakes by a detour to feed on mayflies while
they hatch, but smallies will end up on the rocks.
Largemouths are already encased in cover for the sum-
mer. Look for them in weeds, trees, brush pile and other
cover.
Muskies are starting to provide some consistent
actions now that the females are recovered from the
spawning process and feeding with more active intent.
Some nice fish have been caught lately, and now an-
glers are just waiting for the water temperatures to
rise to normal summer levels. Surface baits have
started to work well now, along with bucktails. Look
for deeper weeds to be most productive, but evenings
will find the fish up shallow in the weeds looking for
forage fish.
Panfish are hitting well, especially the bluegills, as
they are still on the shores spawning. Waxworms and
leafworms work best for these fish. Perch are in the
deeper weeds and crappies are now seeking cover in
brush piles and deeper structure.
Good luck and good fishin.
Fishing pretty good
despite cold weather

The Eagle River Chapter of
Ducks Unlimited (DU) will
hold its 36th annual fundrais-
ing banquet Thursday, June
23, at the Snowmobile Derby
Expo Hall, located on High-
way 45 North in Eagle River.
The event will begin at 6
p.m., and food will be served
from 6 to 7 p.m. Space is limit-
ed and interested persons are
asked to register in advance.
One in 10 will win a Moss-
berg Tactical .22-caliber auto-
matic as a door prize. This
gun is valued at $250.
For more information and
tickets, call Jim at (715) 617-
9385 or Jerry at (920) 912-3080.
Funds from these banquets
are used to conserve, restore
and manage wetlands for wa-
terfowl and thousands of
other species of wildlife that
use the marshes and wet-
lands as part of their annual
life cycle needs.
In addition to providing
critical wildlife habitat, wet-
lands also act as natural fil-
ters for sediment and pollu-
tants that would limit the
natural productivity of the
lakes and streams.
These projects are large
scale and expensive, but the
benefits are worth the invest-
ment, said DU regional direc-
tor Steve Kresl.
Since 2001, DU has con-
served and restored nearly
4,000 acres of critical wildlife
habitat in Vilas County and
the surrounding areas.
Wisconsin DU recently
reached a milestone of 100,000
acres conserved in Wisconsin.
In 2010, Wisconsin DU com-
pleted 67 different projects,
conserved 2,488 acres of habi-
tat, and offered technical assis-
tance on more than 3,188 acres
of wildlife habitat.

There is good news for
ruffed grouse hunters if the
2011 spring drumming counts
are any indication of opportu-
nities for the season ahead.
Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR) wildlife offi-
cials report that Wisconsins
ruffed grouse population ap-
pears to have increased from
last year, according to data
collected by wildlife staff,
foresters, wardens and count-
less volunteers.
Statewide, the ruffed
grouse population increased
about 38% between 2010 and
2011, said Scott Walter, DNR
upland wildlife ecologist.
The southwest study region
showed the greatest increase
in drumming activity over the
last year with a 118% in-
crease, with all routes either
increasing or remaining sta-
ble, said Walter.
The central and northern
regions both showed healthy
increases of 31% and 43%, re-
spectively. No drumming
grouse were heard on tran-
sects run in the southeast re-
gion, which contains the least
amount of grouse cover in the
state.
Grouse populations in
northern Wisconsin tend to
cycle predictably over an
eight- to 11-year period. The
previous high was in 1999,
and it was assumed that Wis-
consin had reached the peak
of the current grouse cycle two
years ago, in 2009. Biologists
interpreted the reported 5%
decrease in drumming activi-
ty observed during the 2010
survey as an indication that
the ruffed grouse population
had begun its cyclic down-
swing.
This years robust increase
in drumming activity, howev-
er, suggests that perhaps Wis-
consin hunters and wildlife
enthusiasts have yet to see
the peak in the current popu-
lation cycle.
This is surprising, and po-
tentially very good news for
grouse hunters in the state,
said Walter. It will be inter-
esting to see if survey results
indicate similar increases in
other parts of the upper Mid-
west. Its important to note,
however, that good brood-
rearing conditions over the
next few weeks will also be
important in determining how
many grouse hunters can ex-
pect to flush come September.
Drumming surveys
Ruffed grouse are one of
Wisconsins most popular up-
land game birds. Their charac-
teristic drumming noise is
readily recognized and is pro-
duced by males during the
spring breeding season. The
male grouse will stand on
drumming logs and rapidly
beat their wings with the in-
tention of attracting female
grouse. They are closely
linked to young forest habi-
tats that develop following
large disturbances, notably
logging activities.
While hunters often focus
on grouse numbers in a single
year, its important to remem-
ber that the long-term health
of grouse and other early suc-
cessional wildlife is dependent
upon the ability to create the
dense young cover they re-
quire, Walter added.
Lacking significant, broad-
scale forms of natural distur-
bance such as fire, we need to
ensure that intensive timber
harvests remain a component
of our forest management ac-
tivities, he said.
Ruffed grouse drumming
surveys are divided into four
regions around the state.
Each spring since 1964,
wildlife biologists, wardens,
foresters, members of the
Ruffed Grouse Society, and
other volunteers have driven
survey routes, stopping to lis-
ten at predetermined loca-
tions for the unmistakable
sound of drumming ruffed
grouse.
These drumming counts
and observational data on
breeding success allow biolo-
gists to track grouse popula-
tion changes.
Ruffed grouse drumming
surveys are helpful in tracking
statewide population changes
over the long term, according
to Sharon Fandel, assistant
upland wildlife ecologist.
However, they are not nec-
essarily the best predictors of
local harvest or hunting op-
portunities, said Fandel. The
most successful hunters are
usually those who spend the
most time in the field and
cover the most ground.
Season dates
There are two ruffed grouse
hunting zones in the state.
The hunting dates for Zone A
are Sept. 17, 2011, through
Jan. 31, 2012. The dates for
Zone B are Oct. 15, 2011,
through Dec. 8, 2011.
Daily bag limits are five
birds per day in Zone A and
two birds per day in Zone B.
Possession limits are twice
the daily bag limit. Additional
information can be found on
the ruffed grouse page of the
DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.
Survey indicates unexpected rise
in state ruffed grouse population
The Department of Natural Re-
sources said spring drumming
counts were up 43% in northern
regions of the state.

For many Green Bay Packers fans, the memory of
the Green and Gold winning Super Bowl XLV last
February has been put on the back burner for the
summer months.
But that memory was temporarily revitalized last
Thursday when the members of the Green Bay Pack-
ers organization received their Super Bowl XLV world
championship rings at a celebration in the Lambeau
Field atrium.
The rings, symbolic of the teams 31-25 victory over
the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6, 2011,
in north Texas, were produced by Jostens and capture
iconic elements of the Packers championship tradition.
The crest of the ring
features the Green
Bay G logo cast in
18-karat yellow gold
placed on a green
stone tablet. Thirteen
diamonds are embed-
ded in the logo, each
one representing the
teams NFL record 13
championships. The
iconic logo is illumi-
nated by round bril-
liant-cut diamonds and
four marquis-cut dia-
monds representing
the Packers four
Super Bowl triumphs. Surrounding the crest are 92 di-
amonds which recognize the 92-year history of Green
Bay Packers football.
One ring shoulder is personalized with the players
last name and team number to recognize his role in
the historic win and memorable season. Each players
number is circled, just like the numbers emblazoned
on the jerseys of the first Packers championship team
of 1929. The side includes an image of Lambeau Field
to symbolize the teams legendary home and key
source of unparalleled fan support.
The opposite shoulder of each ring features an image
of the Vince Lombardi Super Bowl XLV championship
trophy with Packers engraved above. The inside of
each players ring bears inscriptions the further detail
the season. The scores of the four post-season wins and
1 flanked by the words Mind, Goal, Purpose, Heart
commemorates the inspirational motto of the team.
Overall, the rings are made of platinum with 18-karat
yellow gold and weigh 116 grams. Diamonds totaling 3.35
carats are featured in the ring. According to the NFL, the
league pays for up to 150 rings at $5,000 per ring, plus
adjustments for increases in gold and diamonds. Further
information about the rings was not disclosed.
The Green Bay Packers Super Bowl XLV ring will join
the teams collection, which includes rings representing
victories in Super Bowl I (1966 season), Super Bowl II
(1967 season) and Super Bowl XXXI (1996 season).
For Green Bay Packers fans who want a constant
memory of the most recent Super Bowl victory, Super
Bowl XLV collectibles will be available at packer-
sproshop.com.
Ring ceremony brings back
Super Bowl XLV memories
The 11th annual OAM
Alumni Hockey Tournament
returns to the Eagle River
Sports Arena Saturday, July
2, featuring three-on-three
games played throughout the
day with former Northland
Pines players battling on the
Dome ice.
The OAM tournament is a
hockey fundraiser in memory
of the late Orrin A. Mangseth,
a former Northland Pines
hockey coach and hockey sup-
porter.
Pines alumni have made
this a traditional day of hock-
ey, coming back each year to
bump elbows with teammates
and friends.
This has been a great op-
portunity to get together and
relive the days of old, said
Tom Obrodovich, one of the
three originators of the event
along with Al Geiger and
David Cox. We are very fortu-
nate that all the players want
to come back and play togeth-
er each year, said
Obrodovich.
About 16 teams (comprised
of about 100 players) will be
divided into four divisions,
with games starting at 9 a.m.
and running on both ends of
the Dome until about 5 p.m.
The tournament has raised
well over $50,000. Funds have
gone toward the new locker
room, helped the junior varsi-
ty program get started, paid
ice fees for those in need and
purchased jerseys.
The tournament brings
players from all over the
country back to their roots in
Eagle River.
Each year, you never know
for sure who is going to show
up, but traditionally there has
been some great hockey
played and some not so good,
said Obrodovich. Regardless
of the outcome, each player
leaves the Dome reliving the
opportunity to strap em on
one more time with their past
teammates.
Cox said it also takes a lot
of volunteers to bring the
event and players together.
Volunteers are needed for
score keeping, running the
clock and cooking food. Ham-
burgers and brats will be
available throughout the day.
We thank all those who
have volunteered their time
over the years and look for-
ward to their help in the fu-
ture. We also thank the ERRA
for allowing us the opportuni-
ty to take the rink over for a
day, said Cox.
For more information or to
sign up as an individual or
team, contact Obrodovich at
(715) 479-7627.

Racing fans at Eagle River
Speedway last Tuesday saw
14-year-old Jake Reif of Deer-
brook nearly set the all-time
fastest lap at the one-third-
mile dirt track, with a time of
14.64 seconds during the
Micro Sprint 600s feature.
Robby Resch of Antigo
holds the all-time record of
14.62, which was set over
Memorial Day weekend.
Reif consistently turned
laps of over 90 miles per hour
to easily outdistance the en-
tire field. Mike Hicks of Eagle
River took a second, and
Resch took a third in the fea-
ture.
When asked after the race
if he was nervous going as fast
as he was, Reif told the crowd
he had complete control.
No, I knew I was going
fast, he said. The car was re-
ally handling.
Micro Sprint driver Jared
Cech of Rhinelander said the
combination of track condi-
tions and Reif s driving led to
the nearly record-setting
pace.
The track was in perfect
shape, and Jake had his car
handling perfect, Cech said.
Since May of last year,
Robby Reschs younger broth-
er, Tanner Resch, has won
every single heat and feature
race in the Junior Sprints.
However, that streak came
to an end early in the racing
program when Ty Springer, 8,
of Eagle River defeated him in
the heat race. Springer also
came back to defeat Resch in
the feature.
Springer said it was excit-
ing to get a win in his first
year of racing.
After having car problems
in the last two races, Jason
Zdroik of Eagle River came
back with a vengeance in the
B-Mod feature. While Zdroik
was defeated by Jesse Aho of
the Upper Peninsula of Michi-
gan in the heat race, the de-
fending two-time track cham-
pion came from the back of
the pack to take the lead in
the 20-lap feature in the ninth
lap. Last weeks feature win-
ner, Bruce Belland of Eagle
River, took second.
Dustin Miller of
Rhinelander won his second
straight Pure Stock feature.
Miller took the lead for good
in the fifth lap from Ron
Reese of Eagle River. Reese
ended with a second, with fel-
low Eagle River driver Ryan
Valeria taking a third.
The Street Stock feature
went to Jeff Klopstein Jr. of
Baraga, Mich. Jordan Kurtti
of Bruce Crossing, Mich., took
second. Kevin Hartman of
Conover had an excellent run,
coming in third.
Stock car racing returns to
Eagle River Speedway this
Tuesday night with hot laps
beginning at 7 p.m. and racing
to start at 7:30 p.m.

JUST ABOUT everybody
you and I know has acted
really dumb at one time or
another. Maybe it was be-
cause theyd become overly
tired or perhaps they were
out of their comfort zone.
Whatever the reason, you
suddenly wished you didnt
know them. But dont laugh.
The chances are pretty good
your best friends have gone
through the same exasperat-
ing experience with you.
Then there are those peo-
ple who seem to act dumb all
the time. They always seem
to be on a previous page
when everybody else in the
room is talking about the
start of a new chapter.
You love em, laugh with
them and enjoy being with
them, but youve got to won-
der how they ever got
through school or managed
to keep a job. You know they
arent dumb. So here are a
few politically correct alter-
natives you can use the next
time somebody spills their
plate of soup all over you.
1. That guy is absolutely a
few clowns short of a circus.
2. Boy, that person has his
cell phone turned off. 3. Did
you see that? That woman is
a few peas short of a casse-
role.
4. Wow, her sewing ma-
chine is out of thread. 5. His
belt doesnt go through all
the loops. 6. Heres a triple
threat: Hes about as smart
as bait. He has no grain in
his silo. It looks like the sky-
light leaks a little.
7. Hey, that kid is a few
fries short of a Happy Meal.
8. You know what I think?
The wheels spinning, but
the hamster is dead. 9. His
antenna doesnt pick up all
the channels. 10. Hes the
kind of person who would
plan a vacation surfing in
Nebraska.
11. Warning: Objects in
the mirror are dumber than
they appear. 12. Do you know
her problem? She forgot to
pay her brain bill. 13. Anoth-
er triple punch: His chim-
neys clogged. If he had an-
other brain, it would be lone-
ly. Hes one Fruit Loop shy of
a full bowl.
14. He fell out of the stupid
tree and hit every single
branch on the way down to
the ground. 15. That person
has too much yardage be-
tween the goal posts. 16. All
the cheese slid off his cracker.
16. She has a body by
Fisher, but brains by Mattel.
And last, that person is solid
proof evolution can go in re-
verse.

Think about it: If you give
a cat shelter, plenty of food
and a feeling of security, it
will stop catching mice. Some
say people are like that, too!
Thus, we have a problem.
Newsweek financial
columnist Robert Samuelson
says: Weve got to face the
facts.
Medicare as we know it
is going to end. That is clear.
Because of the soaring, un-
funded costs, unless we do
end Medicare as we know it,
America as we know it will
end!
In 1965, the year Congress
created Medicare and Medi-
caid, health spending was
2.6% of the federal budget. In
2010, those costs skyrocketed
to 26.5%. The Obama admin-
istration now estimates it
will be a staggering 30.3% of
the budget in 2016.
An article in the Milwau-
kee paper June 14 told us: In
2008, the last year numbers
are available, Medicaid paid
for 45.6% of the babies born
in Wisconsin. Thats 32,792 of
the total births of 71,977, ac-
cording to the Wisconsin De-
partment of Health Services.
In Vilas County, 122 of the
175 babies born were Medi-
caid babies, which is 69.7%.
In Oneida County, the num-
bers were 185 of 320 births,
or 57.8%. In 2008, Medicaid
provided health care for one
in five state residents. For
births, Medicaid pays for pre-
natal visits, labor, delivery
and postpartum care.
Health officials say Medi-
caid actually saves taxpayers
money because the prenatal
care helps prevent low-birth-
weight babies. A normal
birth-weight birth may cost
$3,514 while a low-weight
birth could cost $164,257 for
the first year.
New York Times columnist
Paul Krugman, who is very
liberal, says Medicare saves
us money. Krugman is usual-
ly pushing the rope instead
of pulling it.
He argues that Medicare
spending per beneficiary rose
more than 400% from 1969 to
2009, adjusted for inflation. In
contrast, premiums for private
health insurance rose more
than 700% over the same peri-
od. No defense for that.
So, Krugman says Medi-
care is the lesser of two evils,
but we cant afford either op-
tion. Therefore, the debate
will go on. How will we solve
the problem of unsustainable
health-care costs as the bur-
den grows in the future?
Is your smartphone missing a few buttons?
I PRIDE MYSELF on
being a fair-to-middling chef,
especially when it comes to
wild game, so it was with an-
ticipation last Sunday that I
looked at a pair of wild
turkeys on my kitchen
counter just waiting for me to
get them on the smoker.
Never mind that it was a
couple of good friends who
each killed their first turkey
this spring and had the au-
dacity to bring them to a
turkeyless hunter to be
smoked; the looks of them on
my counter almost made me
forget I have no turkey of my
own.
Mixing up my top-secret
brine, an adaptation of the
mixture taught to me by the
venerable Pop Dean when he
had me take over his wild-
game smoking business many
years ago, my mouth started
watering at the thought of
how good smoked turkey
and all other wild game and
fish is.
It got me to thinking about
those days nearly 30 years
ago when Pop taught me the
secrets of smoking he had
learned over a half-century or
more of doing it.
It all starts with the wood.
There are those who will extol
the merits of hickory or cherry
or apple or mesquite, but for
my money, hard maple has no
peer.
Believe me, I experimented
with everything during the
dozen years or so I ran my
little side business, even
going so far as trying out
well-seasoned lilac chunks
from a 100-year-old bush, and
nothing made meat taste bet-
ter than hard maple.
Back then, I had two
homemade smokers made
from 50-gallon drums, and
oftentimes I would use both
at the same time one fired
with hard maple for a con-
trol, the other with that
days experimental wood of
choice.
No matter what it was
stacked up against, hard
maple was and still is my fa-
vorite, and that was the wood
of choice for smoking my
friends turkeys. The only
thing different was the medi-
um I chose for hard maple
Coho salmon the best of all
THIS MORNING, I was
trying to think of something
to write about and I started
looking at all the tools I have
on top of my desk or in the
drawers. Since all I do for a
living is write, how in the
world did I get tied up with
so many tools?
My ancient Underwood
No. 5 typewriter sits on a
shelf across the room, much
loved but unused. It was a
great tool and I wrote thou-
sands of television scripts
and six books on it, but I
havent hit a key on it in
years. Its been replaced by
my computer, which is as
much an advance over the
typewriter as the typewriter
was over pen and pencil.
Using the computer still
makes me feel disloyal,
though.
Some tools take up more
room than theyre worth. The
stapler is always there, but I
havent stapled two pieces of
paper together in more than
a year. Maybe three years. It
would serve them right if I
stapled the two staplers to-
gether.
There are two magnifying
glasses on my desk and, al-
though theres nothing wrong
with my sight, I often use
one of them. I dont know
why I have two. Maybe one
to find the other.
I have several different
calendars on my desk. My fa-
vorite has all the days of the
week listed in separate rows.
I can see what Im doing
every Monday of the month.
I must have at least 10
pencils, although I never
write anything in pencil any-
more. Pens are better than
they used to be, but pencils
have stayed the same. The
best part of my day in years
past was sharpening pencils,
but I no longer bother. The
word sharpen even sounds
funny to me now. I dont
know why we started using
the word sharpen to de-
scribe putting a point on a
lead pencil. And speaking of
pencils, getting the lead in a
wooden stick so precisely
must be some trick. I do a lot

People Make the Difference

Burmaster, Nicolet board
show great fiscal restraint
Nicolet College President Elizabeth Burmas-
ter announced last week that the college would
absorb a $509,000 loss in state aid and any in-
creases in expenses, freezing the tax levy at the
same $20.46 million it was a year ago.
Meeting head-on the challenge of delivering
high-quality education and workforce develop-
ment while limiting tax increases, Burmaster
said the college will achieve a $600,000 reduction
in operating expenses by shifting the core duties
of 10 retiring staff members to other staff.
Frankly, were impressed with Burmasters
attitude. And we admit its a surprise that some-
one who worked in the tax-and-spend atmo-
sphere of Madison, as head of the Department of
Public Instruction, has emerged as such a frugal
administrator since she took over for the retiring
Adrian Lorbetske three years ago.
Despite the fact that Nicolet College is pro-
jected to sustain the increased high enrollment of
the past several years, the administration and
college board say they realize that economic re-
covery in the region isnt coming as quickly as
hoped. We have to make cuts just like everyone
else, said Burmaster. Bravo!
When you factor in a 3% decrease in proper-
ty valuation across the college district, the pro-
posed budget and tax levy would be supported by
a mill rate of $1.14 per $1,000 of equalized prop-
erty value, up slightly from $1.11 last year. The
result will be a $3.40 tax increase on a $100,000
home.
For those who dont remember, the previous
decade under Lorbetskes reign as college presi-
dent resulted in annual tax levy increases that
averaged almost 9% which brought frequent
criticism from this newspaper.
We think taxpayers in the college district fi-
nally have an administration that is willing to
work hard to balance the interests of quality edu-
cation with the need to control property taxes.
The states Snowmobile Accident Reduction
Team (SART) wont be funded next winter and
therefore wont be targeting enforcement efforts
during major snowmobiling events, whether it be
the AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile
Derby in Eagle River or drag races in St. Ger-
main and Minocqua.
The reason we wont miss SART is that sel-
dom was there a disproportionately high number
of fatalities during the big-event weekends in
question, so it never made sense to us that these
tourism events should be targeted.
Besides, local conservation wardens and
sheriffs departments can perform the same ser-
vice by doing what they often do, grouping up to
target a specific law enforcement objective. That
teamwork comes without the fanfare and nega-
tive publicity associated with a major sting.
In our view, Vilas and Oneida counties offer
the most scenic snowmobiling found anywhere in
Wisconsin not the most dangerous.

OP-ED/READER OPINION
this time around.
Instead of using a large
chunk for a back log and lots
of slivered slices to feed a few
at a time into the bottom of
the smoker, I used maple in a
different form pellets.
Yep, maple pellets. Its one
of the perks of selling pellet
grills which I unabashedly
put a plug in for here and now
are the greatest thing since
sliced bread.
The wood and the flavor is
the same as if I went out in
the woods and cut up my own
chunks of hard maple, except
the work is all done for me.
I simply open a bag of pel-
lets, pour them in the hopper,
digitally select the tempera-
ture, push the start button
and let the grill do the rest of
the work.
See, the only drawback of
smoking meat on a homemade
smoker was having to keep a
really close eye on the process,
checking every 15 or 20 min-
utes to add fresh slivers while
trying to keep the smoking
temperature as steady as pos-
sible, a task that was definite-
ly not easy and was very time
consuming.
Now I simply whip up my
secret brine, fire up the pellet
grill and let her go for two to
12 hours, depending on what I
am smoking.
If its something like sucker
fillets, which I used to do by
the ton, or so it seemed, when
they started their springtime
run in area cricks, two hours
are plenty.
I used to have one guy who
brought me panfish fillets by
the sackful each summer
when he camped on Trout
Lake, and I soon learned a
half-hour on the smoker was
almost too much for those thin
little slices.
Something thick, like big
Chinook salmon or lake trout,
of which I did several for wed-
ding buffets, took much longer,
and whole turkeys, mostly
store-bought birds back in the
day, would spend up to 12
hours on the rack.
I used to have a large group
of guys who came up each
May, spending a week fishing
Big St. Germain and Lake
Content, and they would bring
in a large batch of pike be-
tween 18 and 24 inches long a
couple of days before heading
back.
Those were easy to do: Cut
the head off, slit them up the
belly to gut them, slice along
the back down to the backbone
to allow good penetration of
the brine and on the smoker
for two or three hours.
Talk about delicious you
couldnt beat them, and I
never heard a single person
complain about picking Y-
bones. There was simply too
much lip smacking going on.
I used to smoke a lot of the
ducks and geese I shot still
do a few and after lots of
experimenting with different
brine spices, I came up with
one that turned out smoked
birds better than any I have
ever had from a commercial
smoke shop.
Venison took a little experi-
menting, too, until I came up
with a brine recipe that en-
hanced the meat without over-
powering it. Whether I did a
full brisket, a large rump roast
or jerky slices, it never lasted
long on a plate at parties.
Perhaps the best tasting of
all fish or meat I smoked was
coho salmon. A group of
friends used to take an annual
trip on Lake Superior, after
which they would bring me
their entire catch to be
smoked.
They would have a mix of
lake trout, splake, brown trout
and coho. I always cut them a
deal, a discount on the price in
exchange for a couple of fish.
They always jumped at the
bargain.
What I never told them was
that they got the browns, lak-
ers and splake, while my cut of
the loot was taken out in coho,
especially those in the 2- to 3-
pound range.
Speaking of taste, I had bet-
ter test out the turkey that
just came off the pellet grill
got to make sure its accept-
able for the wild game feed we
have coming up soon.
of woodworking, but I could-
nt make pencils.
They always put a piece of
rubber on the end of a pencil
and call it an eraser. Few
erasers really work, though,
and they must make pencils
more expensive.
I have a lot of ballpoints in
my desk, but I seldom use
pens today, either.
My father gave me a Park-
er Duofold fountain pen when
I was young, and it was the
best pen of its day. Most pens
no longer need to be filled be-
cause they come with built-in
ink cartridges. I think most
pen-and-pencil sets were
used as gifts. People dont
buy them much today.
I have lots of notepads on
my desk, but paper seems to
be going out of style, too. I
dont use much now. When I
finish writing my column, I
dont have to print or copy it.
All I do is call my assistant
and she e-mails it to my edi-
tor. How great and environ-
mentally friendly is that?

Letter to the Editor:
Save Medicare please!
I wrote a letter in 2009
about Medicare coverage for a
regular shoulder replacement,
including rehabilitation and
home care. Besides about 95%
coverage for hospital and
physician costs, the one-week
rehabilitation (swing bed) and
three weeks of home care with
physical therapy, occupational
therapy, nursing and monitor-
ing equipment was covered
100% by Medicare!
Unfortunately, my rotator
cuff failed, so on April 21, 2011,
I had a reverse total shoulder
replacement. That means ev-
erything cut out and replaced
with implants. I am doing
great and will give my physi-
cians name to anyone interest-
ed.
I just received my state-
ment from Waukesha Memori-
al Hospital for services and
supplies.
$69,370. Payments and ad-
justments $68,238. My cost
$1,132.
My secondary insurance
does not kick in until my
$2,000 deductible is paid, so
the above amounts are paid by
Medicare.
That is besides 11 days of
rehabilitation and two weeks
of home care, including physi-
cal therapy, occupational ther-
apy and nursing.
The physicians bills are not
here yet, but I fully expect the
same percentage of coverage.
Congressman Paul Ryans
plan will gut Medicare (plus
Medicaid) as we know it now.
At 78 years, I will still be cov-
ered, but what about my chil-
dren and grandchildren? With
partial privatization of Medi-
care under Paul Ryans bill,
they will be faced with sub-
stantially higher premiums,
deductibles, etc. My son-in-law
is really very scared of what
coverage and payments he will
face if this bill is passed.
Im sure many of you have
similar thoughts. That is why I
wanted to tell everyone the
dollar amounts. With the
physicians (four minimum),
the total cost will undoubtedly
be over $100,000. I may have
to pay another $1,000, maybe
$1,500. Thank God for Medi-
care. As I said in 2009, Dont
tell me Medicare doesnt
work!

Dear Editor:
Hello to all Wisconsin and
Vilas County residents. We all
know that our military fights
around the world to protect our
rights and freedoms. Why then
do we have some residents in
Vilas County working so hard
to take away our right to the
legal sport of ATVing?
We pay a registration fee
just like boats and snowmo-
biles so we can legally drive
ATVs in Wisconsin. No county
should force their residents to
trailer their equipment to an-
other county that surrounds
their county on every side to
use them.
Sports, like everything else,
are things we do by choice. If
you dont want to ATV, dont. If
you dont want to hunt, dont,
but you dont have the right to
tell all the residents of a coun-
ty they cant! One persons
rights do not allow you to take
the rights of others away.
We cannot allow anyone to
insist their preference be
forced on people who are pur-
suing a legal activity. As Amer-
icans, we must respect every-
ones rights.

Dear Editor:
We attended the sixth an-
nual anniversary of a flag re-
tirement ceremony at the
Sand Lake Pub June 14, Flag
Day. The practice was begun
by Connie McArdle and Dan
Swiechichowski, owners of
the pub, to accommodate the
proper disposal of American
flags that are no longer fit for
display. The proper method of
disposal is to respectfully
burn the flag.
Dan is a 20-year Wisconsin
National Guard veteran
whose patriotism runs deep.
His idea of a flag retirement
ceremony has been well re-
ceived. Since the first event
on June 14, 2006, there have
been more than 1,200 flags
that have been properly re-
tired.
This years ceremony was
supported by a crowd of sev-
eral hundred people, many of
whom were retired military.
Adding to the effect of the
service was the color guard
from VFW Post 8400 of Land
O Lakes, the presence of Ja-
cylin Rottier Halsey, a U.S.
Marine lance corporal, and
her husband, U.S. Marine
Corp. Ryan Halsey. Taps and
a haunting bagpipe solo
made the ritual especially
moving.
A big salute to Connie and
Dan for doing what the North
Woods so often does, by creat-
ing a meaningful event for
neighbors and visitors.
Put a red mark on
Flag Day 2012 so you can at-
tend the seventh annual
event.

Dear Editor:
It was revealing to read
the conviction expressed by
Thomas Kern in his letter of
June 8, when he declared, I
believe that the right-
wingers are against Presi-
dent Obama, not for his poli-
tics but because he is a
Democrat and he is black.
That is plain and simple
racism.
Therefore, in this perplex-
ing age of Obama, Im grate-
ful to have this clear-cut op-
portunity in which to explic-
itly say what needs to be un-
derstood by Mr. Kern and
others mired in the throes of
political frustration.
First off, the only thing
thats plain and simple
about this issue is that right-
wingers are sick and tired of
the never-ending racial big-
otry that liberals/progres-
sives contrive for political
expediency, especially at
times like these when
Barack Obama is sinking
fast in self-produced political
quicksand.
And Id like to know how
Mr. Kern and like-minded
people square his outrageous
blanket indictment with the
undeniable fact that Barack
Obama wouldnt stand a
chance against Florida Rep.
Lt. Col. Allen West if he de-
cides to run and wins the Re-
publican presidential nomi-
nation.
Without a doubt, the hon-
orable congressman and war
hero would win handily,
spurred on and put over the
top by a predominantly
white center-right electorate
thats genuinely inspired by
the lieutenant colonels un-
compromising character and
his pledge to reverse the
foundational damage inflict-
ed on this nation by the first
black president.
Congressman West is the
epitome of the American
dream, extols American ex-
ceptionalism, exemplifies
personal responsibility and
is the standard of excellence
for equal opportunity, self-
reliance and good old-fash-
ioned hard work. All of these
traditional American values
are time-tested pillars of a
prosperous society yet are
alien to Barack Obamas ide-
ology.
Thankfully, however, these
bedrock values are still em-
braced by a majority of the
American people who now re-
alize what is at stake and are
standing side by side desper-
ately waiting for someone
like Mr. West to step forward
and reignite the renowned
American spirit.
But still I wonder if the
disgruntled stone throwers
on the left, who from day one
have clearly been the cul-
prits preoccupied with race,
will ever understand that
the underlying opposition to
Barack Obama has nothing
whatsoever to do with the
color of his skin, but rather,
has everything to do with
the ideology that was im-
planted between his ears.
Truth be told, Obama sup-
porters indiscriminately
whipping out the race card is
a tactic particularly used in
times of desperation and
must be condemned.

The regular school year
has ended for most Wiscon-
sin students, but learning
opportunities abound dur-
ing summer vacation.
From our summer li-
brary reading programs to
park and recreation events,
camps and classes, and edu-
cational family vacations,
there are many activities to
occupy children in the sum-
mer. Keeping kids engaged
and thinking during the
long break from school is
important, because summer
learning loss is a real phe-
nomenon.
Some studies say the
knowledge and skills chil-
dren lose over a long school
break accounts for half to
two-thirds of the achieve-
ment gap between children
from economically disad-
vantaged families and their
nondisadvantaged peers.
Children who are too idle
during the summer lose
procedural and factual
skills that can amount to
two to three months of
learning. The loss in mathe-
matics, spelling and read-
ing skills can accumulate
each year so that by the end
of sixth grade, children who
repeatedly experience sum-
mer learning loss can be as
much as two years behind
their classmates.
However, research also
shows that children who at-
tend high-quality summer
school, participate in en-
richment programs or read
10 or more books during the
summer can maintain or
improve their skills.
Reading just four or five
books over the summer can
have a significant impact in
stemming summer learning
loss. Thats vital to support
our efforts to improve read-
ing achievement across the
state. Reading is the foun-
dation for other academic
learning.
Libraries across Wis-
consin offer a wide range
of materials to interest
even a reluctant reader.
Recreational reading
whether its joke books,
mysteries, magazines,
sports stories or whatever
children choose helps
young people become bet-
ter readers because it de-
velops vocabulary and
builds reading speed and
comprehension.
Those who read or stay
involved through sports,
museum visits or other en-
richment activities during
the summer return to school
ready for new lessons. So
read a book. Visit a park.
Enjoy our Wisconsin sum-
mer. Well see you in
September ready to learn.
Tony Evers is the elected
state superintendent of pub-
lic instruction.

Saturday, June 18. Compli-
ments to all the thought and
planning that went into the or-
ganization of this event.
Coordinating the dozens of
volunteers who helped with so
many aspects of the show and
recognizing the year-long ef-
forts of museum producer Ed
Jacobsen brought pleasure to a
larger-than-ever crowd for the
Three Lakes event. An out-
standing eight-piece band pro-
vided music from big band to
contemporary and country
themes. The brats were great.
Looking around, I felt that
here are the people who make
America great. These are the
people who leave their homes to
storm the beaches, to swelter in
the heat of foreign countries
all to help us preserve our way
of life and help others at the
same time.
Isnt it great that we can
have some hometown fun, too?
Congratulations to all who
brought their great cars and for
all the people involved, thanks.

Dear Editor:
On June 13, 2011, the all-
terrain vehicle (ATV) route
issue was on the agenda of the
regular monthly meeting of
the town of Phelps board. The
town chairperson indicated
that the issue was placed on
the agenda because of a letter
that the board had received
from the Vilas County
Forestry, Recreation and Land
Committee. He read the letter
to the meeting attendees. This
letter was sent to all town
boards and is a document
available to the public.
In part, this letter dated
June 3, 2011, stated: The
Forestry, Recreation & Land
Committee will consider town
requests to use county high-
ways and county forest roads
on a case-by-case basis. This
statement refers to creating
ATV routes. The letter further
states that before the commit-
tee goes to the Vilas County
board for approval, the town
must first approve the use of a
route using their town roads.
The letter went on to address
other procedures towns would
need to follow in making a re-
quest for approval of county
forest roads and county high-
ways as ATV routes to link
their town ATV routes. The
letter also listed references
towns could refer to for assis-
tance.
Two Vilas County supervi-
sors represent the town of
Phelps area. These two super-
visors are also on the
Forestry, Recreation and
Land Committee. When
asked about county voter ap-
proval of ATV routes, both
stated to me personally that
they believe in bottom-up
government and why should
Presque Isle tell Phelps how
to use their town roads? Also,
one of the supervisors clari-
fied for me during a phone
call that the countywide ATV
referendum question several
years ago focused on ATV
trails on county forest
lands, not ATV routes on
county highways, county for-
est roads and town roads. In
general, I agree with bottom-
up government when it does
not result in a patch-work
quilt set of rules, regulations
and ordinances between and
among towns that may serve
to confuse tourists and vaca-
tioners.
Is this committee of the
Vilas County board sidestep-
ping the will of county voters
by addressing ATV routes?
If county voters said no to
ATV trails on forest lands,
arent county forest roads part
of county forest lands? When
the first town request for ap-
proval of county highways
and/or county forest roads
comes to the Vilas County
Board, how will the board re-
spond? It would appear to me
that the strategy and termi-
nology has changed from a
number of years ago.
Therefore, the voters de-
serve the opportunity to pro-
vide their input to the county
board on this new set of ques-
tions. It seems to me that, in
addition to the original ques-
tion Should ATV trails be
permitted on county forest
lands? there are two addi-
tional questions that need to
be asked Should ATV
routes be permitted on county
highways? and Should ATV
routes be permitted on county
forest roads? This will pro-
vide county board supervisors
with the input from those
they represent.
And, it makes sense that
before the towns go through
all the time and effort to cre-
ate an ordinance describing
which town roads will be part
of an ATV route system and
apply to the county for ap-
proval of using county roads
as part of the town route sys-
tem, the county needs to de-
termine their position on this
issue.
The Forestry, Recreation
and Land Committee letter
indicated that it would consid-
er requests on a case-by-case
basis. What criteria is this
committee going to use? One
criterion should be what safe-
guards (enforceable) are being
put in place to ensure that the
addition of this new recre-
ational activity will not de-
grade the present attractive-
ness of Vilas County to
tourists and vacationers. Vilas
County presently places third
in attracting tourism dollars
in Wisconsin.
Finally, while this issue is
divisive, it is imperative that
however it is settled, two
conditions must be met.
First, county voters have the
opportunity to provide input
on the issue to their elected
supervisors via a referen-
dum. And, whatever action is
taken, the present attractive-
ness that Vilas County en-
joys as a tourist destination
not be placed in jeopardy or
degraded.

Is panel sidestepping county voters?
Dear Editor:
Mr. Skibbies attempt to por-
tray ATVers as a minority op-
pressed by Spandex-wearing
bicyclists is laughable. I am a
hunter and a fisherman. I have
been buzzed by ATVs while
grouse hunting with my dog on
the Vilas County hunting trails
(no ATVs allowed but that did
not stop them).
If you allow ATVs on Vilas
County roads, their owners will
ask for access to more land or
simply take it on their own.
There is not a shred of evidence
that ATVs will save the econo-
my of Vilas County or of the
USA.
Rather, ATVs guzzling of
foreign oil will contribute to the
trade deficit. Only two of the
nine major ATV manufacturers
are American (Polaris and Arc-
tic Cat), neither of which is lo-
cated in Wisconsin.
At the local level, ATVs are
likely to ravage the roads of
Vilas County. Only a few will
benefit from ATVs, while the
majority in Vilas County will
see no benefit from the Lan-
dover ATV Clubs version of
trickle-down economic theory.
Property owners on or near the
proposed routes will likely see
their property values drop if
the routes are approved.
As for the Vilas County
News-Reviews survey, until a
neutral poll is performed using
statistical and scientific con-
trols, the poll cited by Mr. Skib-
bie should be given no cre-
dence. A poll which asks a
question and invites all to re-
spond, rather than using a ran-
dom sampling has, by defini-
tion, a sampling bias.
Because of this basic sam-
pling error, the poll is not a
valid or accurate measure of
public opinion. ATVers do not
have a right to ride on Vilas
County roads. Their demands
to do so should be rejected.

Dear Editor:
First of all, I want to con-
gratulate Dr. Mike Richie on
being nominated as one of the
five finalists for the 2011 Na-
tional Superintendent of the
Year by the National Associa-
tion of School Superintendents.
I am sure it is well deserved.
The Northland Pines
School and area residents are
very proud and interested in
this nomination. With a
strong Captain of the North-
land Pines Schools, we appar-
ently have an outstanding
crew. By crew, I mean teach-
ers, students, support staff,
school board and, of course,
parents and the taxpayers
who helped build schools that
are a source of pride of the
whole area.
Go, Eagles, and let us keep
the quality of education that
we have had for many years
in the North Woods and in all
of Wisconsin.

For the 39th year, Artara-
mas River Walk Art Show will
take place on Saturday, July
16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
Riverside Park in Eagle River.
Since its beginnings in 1972,
the show has grown tremen-
dously in size and reputation,
attracting thousands of visitors
who purchase treasures to
highlight their homes or give
as gifts.
Each spring, hundreds of ap-
plications are received by the
jurying committee which care-
fully screens each one, hoping
to once again accomplish the
diversity which the show is fa-
mous for.
The five-member board of
directors works diligently from
January on to make the show
happen.
Putting this show together
takes monumental organiza-
tional skills, laughs Karen
Kubacki, co-chairwoman.
Right now, were delegating
every job imaginable from
porta-potty rental to who
brings the hammer!
At this point, exhibitors
have been chosen, judges have
been named, live music has
been hired and food vendors
have been selected.
This show is great fun and
this year will be no exception.
We have some incredible art-
work coming. Of course, there
are lots of old favorites return-
ing, but plenty of new talent
will wow this years crowd as
well, promises Kubacki.

Well, they are back. Those pesky little critters that
attack us the minute we step out the doors of our
homes. Yep, the mosquitoes are here again. It is al-
ways something. Winter brings the icy roads, blizzards
and piles of snow to shovel, to say nothing of freezing
temperatures. Spring comes with flooding and torna-
does, and then comes summer with its humidity, heat
and yes, mosquitoes. That leaves fall, my favorite sea-
son for obvious reasons.
Mosquitoes are a major nuisance. When Bill and I
moved back to Wisconsin in 2002 after tramping
around the United States via our motor home, we
moved into and closed on our Wisconsin home on May
9. I remember the day because it was the same day
that the UPS man came to our door and joked about
the mosquitoes. He was wearing shorts and a short-
sleeved shirt and his legs and arms were being at-
tacked by dozens of mosquitoes. I soon learned that I
would have to bear with these critters if I was to enjoy
the beauty and arts offered in this wonderful valley.
Life is full of nuisances. Some are small, like the
mosquitoes, and many catastrophic, like the torna-
does. But life becomes a pretty sad journey if we focus
only on the mosquitoes and tornadoes. I prefer, at

ON CAMPUS
Northland Pines High
School students Ashlynn
Smith and Tim Kopanski
were both recognized for their
commitment to the communi-
ty at the recent YMCA of the
Northwoods Teen Character
Awards Banquet.
The award is presented to
teens who go above and be-
yond for the community and
live out the YMCAs core val-
ues caring, honesty, respect
and responsibility.
Smith dedicated her entire
senior year to the Eagle River
YMCAs Adventure Alley day-
care service. She volunteered
more than 375 hours through-
out the course of the school
year.
Even after graduating
early, she continued to run the
day-care program, giving par-
ents the opportunity to exer-
cise knowing their children
were in good hands.
Kopanski was described as
the YMCAs most dedicated
member. Whether before
school, after school or on the
weekends, chances are he will
be at the Y.
According to YMCA staff,
Kopanski leads by example
his teammates and peers see
his hard work and follow his
lead. Not only is he committed
to fitness, he is truly commit-
ted to the YMCA. It would not
be rare to see him helping the
YMCA staff with closing du-
ties or offering assistance to
new less-experienced mem-
bers.

least once a day, to focus on
the gifts our valley life offers.
This summer we are enjoying
the American Players The-
atres plays in the woods, ca-
noeing the river, art fairs,
Taliesins centennial, the
opening of a new bookstore
and caf and so much more. I
will see the flowers and trees
as they grace our hills and
yards. I will enjoy coffee with
friends. Opportunities
abound.
Will I miss the trips Bill
and I took to Door County
each summer? The walks on
summer evenings? The trip
we planned for our silver
wedding anniversary tomor-
row? You bet I miss them
every single day, through
many tears. Am I grateful for
the incredible memories that
are mine forever? Yes! How
blessed we were. Will I use
what I have learned about
loss and grieving this year to
help others who grieve? Yes, I
have and I will or it is all for
naught.
Life is filled with gifts,
with joy and loss, with pain
and beauty and more. Saying
yes to all that shall be and
thank you for all that has
been (as Dag Hammarskjold
said so well) is the only way
to walk the paths we are
called to walk. In the end,
not much else matters, in-
cluding those pesky
mosquitoes and yes, even the
tornadoes.
I have not evolved enough
yet (and probably wont in
this lifetime) to say thank
you for the death of those I
love except where it has re-
lieved them of pain and suf-
fering. Being thankful for
and embracing the tough
stuff is a huge leap forward
on lifes path.
For all that has been,
thanks. To all that shall be,
yes! Thank you, Dag Ham-
marskjold.

ENGAGEMENTS
This was the seventh year
that Jeff and Marcia Rohr
have sponsored the Callie
Rohr Memorial Canoe and
Kayak Race and, through
their efforts, they have raised
more than $10,000 so far this
year, making their hopes of
reaching $90,000 in seven
years a likely reality.
The Rohrs lost their daugh-
ter, Callie, to a brain tumor
and are working hard to find a
cure by raising money for
brain cancer research.
Childrens brain cancer
took over from leukemia as
the No. 1 medical killer of our
children, said Marcia Rohr.
She explained the reason
for this change is that more
children survive leukemia
than ever before.
This year, the Rohrs
fundraising efforts will go to-
ward a research program at
Childrens Memorial Hospital
in Chicago led by Dr. Tomita.
This years race included
more than 90 racers. Ryan
Michaels and Sara Ras-
mussen from television sta-
tion WJFW, and Diana Nor-
mand and Phil Levin from
television station WAOW
went head-to-head for the
Fastest TV Station on the
Water, with Normand and
Levin stroking to the finish
first.
Jeff in the Morning, for-
merly of Eagle River, and now
at radio station WJJQ in Tom-
ahawk, paddled to the finish
line to take the Fastest DJ on
the Water, with radio station
Coyote disc jockeys P.J. and
Ben Merritt close behind.
Headwaters State Bank of
Land O Lakes had three
boats competing in a friendly
competition with Mid-Wiscon-
sin Bank, which had four
boats.
Logan Croker and Lexi
Snedden of Mid-Wisconsin
edged out Tom Reed and Mary
Ellen Otterpohl of Headwa-
ters for Fastest Bank on the
Water.
Many other racers paddled
for a cure, making the race the
biggest start of the day.
Other winners were Joe
Zellner from Grand Marais,
Minn., in the Pro Kayak class,
4 hours, 20 minutes, 49 sec-
onds; Bruce Petit from Ojibwa
and Lenny Ladenthin from
Radisson in the Stock Boat
Racer class, 4:49.41; Robert
Jackson from Burnsville,
Minn., in the Kayak class,
5:29.16; and Richard Stumpn-
er from Bloomington, Ind., in
the Solo Canoe class, 5:30.35.
The race has many recre-
ation classes doing the 26-
mile marathon course over
two equal days and the pro
racers doing the whole race in
one day.
The Rohrs will continue to
raise money all summer, with
a raffle of a 14-foot Kestrel
kayak and accommodation
packages from Lake Forest
Resort and Club, Black Bear
Lodge and Wild Eagle Lodge,
plus jug donations at local
stores. The raffle drawing will
be held Sunday, Sept. 4, at 7
p.m. at Rohrs.
The Rohrs expressed their
appreciation to all the volun-
teers and participants.

will be presented Thursday,

After unanimous approval
by the Three Lakes Town
Board of Supervisors in April,
the town has proclaimed July
12 as Ed Cottingham Day in
Three Lakes.
In the decree, it was noted
that Cottingham distin-
guished himself as a public
servant in the elected role of
town board supervisor, as well
as in the appointed positions
of plan commissioner and zon-
ing advisory committee mem-
ber. Cottingham also served
on various subcommittees
and ad-hoc committees.
The proclamation went on to
cite that on countless occasions,
this citizen, when called upon by
the town chairman and board of
supervisors, did, without hesita-
tion, answer the call to service
and, through countless hours of
meetings and other coordina-
tion activity, has brought fur-
ther honor to himself.
The board of supervisors se-
lected July 12 as Ed Cotting-
ham Day because the Concerts
in the Park series in Three
Lakes will host a live music
performance that evening.
Both Cottingham and his
wife, Karen, are active mem-
bers of the Three Lakes His-
torical Society, the nonprofit
organization that sponsors
the concerts series.
In reading the proclama-
tion April 5, Three Lakes
Town Chairman Don Sidlows-
ki said Cottingham is a regu-
lar at the concerts.
That night in July, as the
concertgoers assemble, theres
a pretty good chance you will
see past-Supervisor Cotting-
ham there at his usual place
next to the popcorn machine
helping to raise money for the
historical society, said Sid-
lowski. We thought that
would be a good day for every-
one to give Ed a big thank-you
for his service to the town.
Area residents are welcome
to attend the Concerts in the
Park event July 12 and thank
Cottingham for his service to
the town.
The Rhinelander Commu-
nity Band will begin playing
at Cy Williams Park in down-
town Three Lakes at 7 p.m.

The Three Lakes Public Li-
brary Foundation will hold its
annual meeting Monday, June
27, at 5 p.m. in the lower-level
meeting room at Demmer
Memorial Library in Three
Lakes.
All members of the founda-
tion and any other interested
parties are welcome to attend.
The foundation was incor-
porated in 2003 with a mis-
sion to enhance the value of
the Edward U. Demmer
Memorial Library as a com-
munity resource. It helps de-
velop and promote lifelong
learning in Three Lakes
through advocacy and by se-
curing funds.
The foundation was formed
out of a desire to sustain the
library on alternative sources
of funding, rather than relying
entirely on public funding. The
foundation was formed as a
501(c)3 corporation so that all
donations are tax deductible.
The funds raised are used
for both current and long-term
goals. Most recently, the foun-
dation funded a survey con-
ducted by the library to help
develop a long-range plan for
the future of the library. More
than 500 residents, seasonal
homeowners and visitors com-
pleted the survey, with results
to be used to develop a 20-year
plan for library services.
The annual meeting will
feature a recap of the past
years activities, while direc-
tors and officers also will be
elected. For more information
about the meeting, contact
Vicki at (715) 546-8032.

After receiving a $5,000
Challenge Grant from The
Plum Creek organization, the
plans to hold fundraisers to
cover the remaining cost of a
new rescue vehicle from

bilers. It will be equipped with

accessories, is still $14,243.95.
Tauer stated that the new
machine will be equipped
with a Stokes basket for car-
rying injury victims, and will
have four-wheel drive, power
steering, a winch, a wind-
shield and other accessories.
The Polaris Ranger will be
able to carry a victim, an
emergency medical technician
in the back with the victim, a
driver and an additional pas-
senger in the side-by-side
seats. The department expects
to have the new vehicle ready
for next years snowmobile
season.
The department will host a
number of fundraising events
to help cover the cost of the
vehicle, including the Three
Lakes Shoot-Out and Fly-In, a

SUMMARY OF THE SUBJECT MATTER
AND MAIN POINTS OF THE ORDINANCE:
27.01 Purpose and Intent
The purpose of this Wireless Telecommuni-
cation Ordinance is to ensure that residents,
businesses and visitors in Vilas County have
reliable access to wireless telecommunica-
tion networks and state of the art communi-
cation services. This objective is accom-
plished according to Vilas Countys ordi-
nances, ensuring and preserving the aesthet-
ic character of the community for all to
enjoy.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 has
preserved, with certain limitations, local
government land use and zoning authority
concerning the placement, construction, and
modification of wireless telecommunications
facilities. Vilas County ensures the place-
ment; construction and/or modification of
wireless telecommunications facilities com-
ply with all applicable Federal and State
laws, and is consistent with Vilas Countys
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Vilas County recognizes that facilitating
the development of wireless service technol-
ogy can be an economic development asset to
Vilas County and a significant benefit to its
residents.
Vilas County finds in order to accommo-
date the communication needs of residents
and businesses while protecting the public
health, safety and general welfare of the com-
munity, these regulations are necessary to:

other property in the neighborhood for pur-
poses already permitted shall be in no fore-
seeable manner substantially impaired or di-
minished by establishment, maintenance or
operation of the conditional use.

tional use will not impede the normal and or-
derly development and improvement of the
surrounding property for uses permitted in
the district.

27.06 effective 06-22-11)
27.07 Performance Standards
(2) Minimizing the Number of Sites
The number and location of communica-
tion structures shall be minimized through
co-location by mounting three (3) or more
antennas on one structure or by minimizing
the number of site locations when co-loca-
tion is not possible by co-siting the communi-
cation structures. The cost of eliminating im-
pediments to co-location shall be deemed
reasonable if it does not exceed by 75 percent
the cost of constructing a new structure on
which to mount applicants equipment.
27.07 effective 06-22-11)
(c) (SUITABLE LOCATION) If a suitable lo-
cation cannot be found for placement of an
additional antenna and related equipment
on an existing structure, any new structure
shall be co-sited within close proximity, (e.g.
adjacent properties). In such case, the owner
of an existing structure shall allow place-
ment of a new structure nearby on his site if
space is available and at reasonable market
cost. A CUP application to construct a new
communication structure shall provide cred-
ible evidence as to why an existing structure
cannot be used, or if to be located at a new
site, why a site with an existing structure
cannot be utilized for placement of an adja-
cent communication structure, to meet these
requirements.
27.07 effective 06-22-11)
(d) (NEW PROPOSED COMMUNICATION
STRUCTURE) A new proposed communica-
tion structure shall be located not less than

ed unless:
(i.) Authorized through the variance proce-
dure outlined in Attachment B.
(ii.) The dwelling is on the parcel on which
the tower is permitted to be located; or
(iii.) Unless co-located on an existing struc-
ture for which a CUP for a communication
structure has been issued.

the minimum distance from all lot lines that
they are in height, except when certification
is provided by a manufacturer that the tower
is designed to collapse within 50 percent of
the height of the tower. With certification
provided, tower shall be the minimum dis-
tance of half the height of the tower from all
lot lines. A conditional use permit shall be re-
quired.
27.07 effective 06-22-11)
(f) (NEW SITE CREDIBLE EVIDENCE)
No CUP application for the placement or
construction of a new communication struc-
ture at a new site shall be approved unless
the applicant presents to Vilas County credi-
ble evidence of all the following:
(v.) The fees, costs or contractual provi-
sions required by the owner of the existing
communication structure or site in order to
co-locate on an existing communication
structure or locate a new structure adjacent
to the existing structure are unreasonable
relative to industry norms; and
(vi.) The applicant demonstrates that there
are other factors that render existing com-
munication structures unsuitable or unavail-
able and establishes that the public interest
is best served by the placement or construc-
tion of a new communication structure, (e.g.
an existing municipally owned communica-
tion tower, whose primary purpose is to pro-
vide essential police, fire, and other emer-
gency communications and services for the
protection and safety of the public).

ministrator may waive the requirement of
Subsection (1) above if it is deemed that a
fence is not appropriate or needed at the
proposed location, based on site & tower
characteristics.
27.07 effective 06-22-11)
(5) Multiple Uses on a Single Parcel or Lot
Telecommunications Facilities and Sup-
port Structures may be located on a parcel

NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION
FOR PROPOSED DREDGING
Edgewater Beach Resort & Condo Inc.,
2680 South Shore Rd., Land O Lakes, WI
54540 has applied to the Department of Nat-
ural Resources for a permit to remove ap-
proximately 500 cubic yards of sediment
from the bed of Potfish Creek at the conflu-
ence of Lac Vieux Desert to facilitate naviga-
tional access. The site is an existing enlarge-
ment of Potfish Creek.
The project is located in the SE1/4 of the
NW1/4 of Section 15, Township 42 North,
Range 11 East, Town of Phelps, Vilas County.
The Department has determined that the
application is complete and is currently eval-
uating the applicants proposal. The Depart-
ment must consider factual information
about the following legal standards in decid-
ing whether to issue, modify, or deny the ap-
proval or permit to the applicant:
Whether navigation is materially ob-
structed, including commercial, recreation-
al, active and passive forms of navigation.
Whether there is detriment to the public
interest, including fish and wildlife or their
habitat, natural scenic beauty or water qual-
ity.
Whether the flood flow capacity of a
stream is materially reduced.
The Department will follow the steps
below to reach its final decision on the appli-
cation:
1. Review the plans and information pro-
vided by the applicant.
2. Review the information from public
comments.
3. Review the information presented at a
public informational hearing if one is re-
quested.
4. Review the information found in natural
resource inventories and plans, maps or data
collected by the Department or others using
commonly accepted methods.
5. Determine whether the proposed project
or activity complies with s. 1.11, Stats [the
Wisconsin Environmental Policy Act], and
ch. NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code.
The Department has made a tentative de-
termination that it will issue a permit with
conditions for the proposed project.
If you would like to know more about this
project or would like to see the application
and plans, contact Water Management Spe-
cialist Jon Kleist, 875 South 4th Ave., Park
Falls, WI 54552, phone number (715) 762-1344.
Reasonable accommodation, including the
provision of informational material in an al-
ternative format, will be provided for quali-
fied individuals with disabilities upon re-
quest.
Any member of the public may submit
written comments to the address above by
U.S. mail. Comments should include the
docket number or applicant name. If no pub-
lic informational hearing is held on this ap-
plication, comments must be postmarked no
later than 30 days following the date of pub-
lication of this notice. If a public informa-
tional hearing is held, comments must be
postmarked no later than 10 days following
the date on which the hearing is completed.
If notice of a public informational hearing
is not included in this notice of complete ap-
plication, no public informational hearing
will be held unless the Department receives
a request for hearing. If no hearing is re-
quested, the Department may issue its deci-
sion without a hearing.
Any person may request a public informa-
tional hearing by writing to the address
above by U.S. mail postmarked no later than
30 days following publication of this notice.
A request for hearing must include the dock-
et number or applicant name and specify the
issues that the party desires to be addressed
at the informational hearing. Because the
Department must base its decision to issue
or deny the permit or approval on whether
the project or activity meets the legal stan-
dards listed above, the issues raised should
relate to those standards.
The final decision may be appealed as indi-
cated in the decision document.

Local church to host Bible school
Lutheran Church in Sayner
will celebrate its 50th anniver-
sary of ministry Sunday, June
26, beginning with a worship
service at 9 a.m. and followed
by a reception.
Bishop Tom Skrenes, North-
ern Great Lakes Synod of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church
in America, will lead the ser-
vice and The Rev. Dorothy
Lindstrom will preach.
A number of charter mem-
bers will be on hand to be hon-
ored, along with former pastors
and others who have been im-
portant in the history and min-
istry of the church.
In 1961, a few people in
Sayner envisioned having a
church of their own in which to
worship. They began holding
Sunday worship services in the
Sayner community building.
Pastor Paul Roe of Calvary
Lutheran Church in Minocqua
led those early services.
The congregation officially
organized as part of a two-
church parish with Pioneer
Lake Lutheran Church in
Conover. The Rev. Charles
Holmgren was called as the
congregations first pastor, and
a building committee was
formed, including Norman
Rasmussen, Elmer Ahlborn,
Marge Dean, Betty Long,
Frank Kazda, E.O. Schneider
and Florence Kellner. Land
was donated by Carl Eliason
and construction was begun
with ground work by Brooker
and Crall Construction.
The congregation included
94 members as of December
1961, with $1,855 in the trea-
sury. The church building was
dedicated June 16, 1963.
Several artistic gifts were
added over the years, including
an outdoor bell donated by
Fred Braun, stained-glass win-
dows completed under the su-
pervision of John Nelson and
Esther Rasmussen, a wooden
sanctuary cross completed by
Bill Maines, a driftwood altar
candelabra fashioned by Art
Long, and the original shep-
herd designed and welded by
Buck Long and Art Maines.
The church continued to
grow and included a paved
parking lot in 1980, a fellow-
ship hall addition in 1989, a
picnic shelter constructed in
1993, and a 4,400-foot addition
just two years ago in 2009.
Served by Lindstrom for the
past eight and one-half years,
Shepherd of the Lakes contin-
ues a strong history of mission
in the community.

The Plum Lake Town
Board heard a report at its
last meeting from the new
committee formed after last
months meeting regarding
the public pier at Plum Lakes
south boat landing.
The public pier, which has
been a much-used staple of
Plum Lake for many years,
manifests a superstructure
that is rotting, the metal
plates on its top are lifting up,
and nails are sticking up on
its surface, creating a public
safety issue.
The board and committee
discussed various strategies
for repair and replacement,
but ultimately decided that
more information was needed
before any action could be
taken.
Citizens comments were
heard regarding the impor-
tance of the public pier, espe-
cially to permanent residents
of Plum Lake. The board and
committee will endeavor to
keep in mind the public pier
as a piece of essential Plum
Lake history as it works on
ways to repair or replace it.
The town board also denied
Sayner Pub a license for out-
door street dances and beer
sales until further informa-
tion is gathered on the bound-
aries of the pubs premises.
The owners of the pub re-
quested a beer license to be
able to sell beer on its outdoor
premises, particularly for an
event on the Fourth of July.
However, as the board dis-
cussed issuing the permit,
gray areas became apparent.
Board members wanted to
comply with the pubs re-
quests, but said they felt that
without clear specifications of
where Sayner Pubs premises
end, problems could arise with
neighboring businesses, espe-
cially on one side where there
is a town road, with Eliason
Lumber and Hardware on the
other side.
Without the pubs owners
present to verify their busi-
nesss premises and where
beer sales would actually take
place, the board said it would
deny Sayner Pub this license
at this time.
In other action, the board:
heard a report from
Chris Wise of the towns
Aquatic Invasive Species
Committee as to what the
committee is doing to impede
the spread of invasive species
and to deal with current inva-
sive species;
heard a report from the
chairman that the new nar-
rowband-compliant radios
should arrive in another
week;
heard a report that the
town now has the new fire
truck and awaits further
equipment that has been or-
dered for the truck;
looked at a map of the
redistricting, noting that a
portion of Plum Lake was
placed under the jurisdiction
of a representative from Land
O Lakes; and
decided to use rubber or-
ange fencing supported on
posts for the trout pond in
Sayners Fourth of July festiv-
ities this year, since the regu-
lar metal fencing is in need of
repairs.

The history of Land O
Lakes will be offered in two
different presentations this
summer, as the Land O
Lakes NorthernWaters Mu-
seum expands its Historic
Resorts of the Past exhibit
to include profiles of famed
area guides, and Land O
Lakes Historical Society
will present a new book,
Images of America Land
O Lakes, a pictorial cele-
bration authored by local
researcher Jon Helminiak.
Polishing up the new
items on exhibit and orga-
nizing the expanded presen-
tation are Lisa Stemen and
Lynn Richey, with the help
of exhibit designer Barb
Wilkinson.
NorthernWaters Muse-
um is housed in a building
formerly known as Gateway
Ski Chalet.
We have turned the
chalet snack and service bar
area into an early 1900s-
style resort bar, said
Richey. We augmented the
childrens area and, in the
small area between the pre-
sent exhibit and the bar
area, we have added some of
the fishing/hunting guide
artifacts.
Stemen added that new
items from guides of the
past, including artifacts
from the Jack LaChance Sr.
guiding era, are to be added
to the exhibit. Families of
other area guides also are
welcome to check their at-
tics and basements to loan
or donate items to the mu-
seum.
One of the most recently
added artifacts is a historic
trolling rod and outsized
reel originally from Hull-
wood, a historic home on
Black Oak Lake. It was in
the possession of noted
guide Abe Eberly and was
passed on to Karl Guenther,
who loaned it to Northern-
Waters Museum for this ex-
hibit.
The museum, located
just west of downtown Land
O Lakes in the Land O
Lakes Town Park, will open
for the summer season
Wednesday, June 29 with an
opening party. Summer
hours will be Thursdays,
Fridays, and Saturdays
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Highlighting the muse-
um opening will be a book
signing of the new Land O
Lakes book by Helminiak of
Milwaukee and Land O
Lakes.
All proceeds from book
sales will go to the Land O
Lakes Historical Society.
Helminiak is the son of
Raymond and Marilyn
Helminiak. He and his fam-
ily have been longtime sum-
mer residents on Big
Portage Lake.
The opening party for the
expanded exhibit will be
held Wednesday, June 29,
from 4 to 6 p.m. at the mu-
seum. The party will cele-
brate and honor donors, vol-
unteers, workers and histor-
ical society members.
As a prelude to the muse-
ums opening, volunteers
seeking to become docents
or guides are asked to regis-
ter for either of two docent
training sessions, which will
be held Thursday, June 23,
at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the
museum.
Leading the docent train-
ing will be Sudy Ferry-
Wattson. To sign up, contact
her at (906) 544-2461.
The Land O Lakes His-
torical Society meets the
second Thursday of each
month, May through
November, at 9 a.m. at the
Land O Lakes Town Hall.
New members are welcome.
For more information,
contact Barbara Renc at

turn-of-the-century mill
town located just west of
