Kim Simac, president of the Northwoods Patriots and a leader of the Tea Party movement in Wisconsin, will face Lincoln County Board Chairman Robert Lussow in a Republican primary next Tuesday, July 19. The winner will challenge 12th District State Sen. Jim Holperin (D-Conover) in the recall election Aug. 16. There is no primary on the Democratic side. Thousands of people throughout the 12th Senate District signed recall petitions
against Holperin after he and 13 other state senators left Wisconsin in February to avoid voting on Gov. Scott Walkers budget repair bill that takes most collective bargaining rights away from public workers. Those signatures were reviewed by the Government Accountability Board, and the recall election was approved by the state panel last month. Simac, 57, of Eagle River, led the recall effort in the To PRIMARY, Pg. 8A

St. Germain man found in flowage; investigation started

A 63-year-old St. Germain man was found dead in the Rainbow Flowage in the town of Newbold late Sunday afternoon, according to authorities. Larry Stecker, who apparently had gone fishing at the flowage and got separated from his boat, was found dead by rescue personnel in the water near a boat landing. The sheriffs department received a phone call at 4:05 p.m. from a concerned citizen regarding a small dog, wallet and cell phone located on the shore of the public boat landing off South Rainbow Drive and Stormy Landing Road in the town of Newbold. An Oneida County Sheriffs Department deputy and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources warden initially responded to the call in an attempt to locate the owner of the property. They eventually located an abandoned boat on the Rainbow Flowage that belonged to the same person as
identified in the wallets contents. A vehicle and trailer were then located at the Stormy Landing Road boat landing, also belonging to Stecker. The deputy made contact with family members and was informed that Stecker had left to go fishing on the Rainbow Flowage earlier in the day. According to the sheriffs department, witnesses at the boat landing stated they had seen the boat owner at the landing. The Oneida County dive team responded to the scene and a search of the water was initiated. A short time later, Steckers body was recovered from the water near the boat landing and was turned over to the Oneida County medical examiners office. The Oneida County Sheriffs Department and the Oneida County medical examiners office are conducting an investigation into the death.

Wisconsin has joined 48 other states which have laws on the books allowing properly trained individuals to carry concealed handguns in most places. Gov. Scott Walker signed the concealed carry measure during a ceremony in Wausau Friday. The new law, debated for more than a decade in the Wisconsin Legislature, authorizes individuals to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon after providing evidence of proper training and after undergoing a criminal background check. By signing concealed carry into law, we are making Wisconsin safer for all responsi-
ble, law-abiding citizens, said Walker. This legislation has been in the works for a long time I co-sponsored a similar bill when I was a member of the state Assembly. The proposal, which takes effect Nov. 1, joins other longsought measures that Republicans passed this year, including requiring photo identification from voters and making health savings accounts tax-exempt. The measure includes provisions requiring training and permits, which were sought by both Walker and Democrats. Some Republicans unsuccessfully pushed constituTo CARRY LAW, Pg. 6A

FOREST CONDITIONS STREAMS AND LAKES OUTLOOK
Wild raspberries, strawberries and mulberries are ripening with the warm temperatures last week. Insect repellent is a must for those hiking in the forest, as mosquitoes are abundant this summer due to June precipitation. With the mayfly hatch winding down, fishing will improve, especially for walleyes. Lake activity has increased with the warmer water temperatures. That means some of the best muskie and walleye fishing will be at night. Wednesday will be sunny and seasonally cool, with a high of 73 and a low of 44. Thursday scattered thunderstorms are forecast and still cool, with a high of 71 and a low of 50. Friday is expected to be mostly cloudy with thunderstorms, with a high of 79 and a low of 57. Saturday will be more humid with a possible thunderstorm, with a high of 85 and a low of 64.

Artarama:
we have been able to reach out to many more artists across the country, and the response has been exciting. This years show will feature more new artists than ever before. In addition to the new artists, many Artarama favorites will return, including Rick Schuette with his pottery, Demetra Saloutos with her ironwork, Don Shunk with his detailed decoys and Monika Fairchild with her jewelry. Live jazz and R&B music by The Fine Line will set the mood throughout the afternoon as participants meander between artist displays, silent auctions and a special set of booths called Young at Art, which will feature exhibitors under the age of 18. These kids come from many backgrounds, which is reflected in the interesting art they create, said Hahn. We hope everyone will include a stroll through Young at Art during the day.

Chain of Lakes group to host annual meeting

The Eagle River Chain of Lakes Association (ERCLA) will hold its annual meeting at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 23, at the Lincoln Town Hall, located at 1205 Sundstein Road in Eagle River. The agenda will include the treasurers report, membership report and identification of officers and lake representatives. There also will be updates on the Eagle River Chain aquatic invasive species (AIS) management program, Clean Boats Clean Waters program, Citizens Lake Monitoring Network, purple loosestrife on the Chain and signing of the Native Plant Protection Pledge. There will be an election of the board of directors. In addition, Dan Anderson of Long Lake in the Phelps Lake District will explain what a lake district is and the process the Long Lake property owners pursued to create their lake district. ERCLA was formed in 2001 and provided the initial impetus in the management of AIS on the Eagle River Chain. ERCLA functions as an umbrella organization coordinating activities of the 10 individual lake associations on the Chain. It provides education to riparians on chainwide AIS management efforts. The association also links the functions of the individual lake associations and the Unified Lower Eagle River Chain of Lakes Commission. The commission is the organization responsible for implementing the Eurasian water milfoil (EWM) management program on the Chain. ERCLA serves to organize and coordinate the efforts of the commission and the individual lake associations in the achievement of their common goals of maintaining, protecting and improving the quality of the lakes. Each lake association is represented in ERCLAs organizational structure. ERCLA has made funding available to each lake association as needed, and has donated funds to the commission to fill the gap in financing the EWM program. ERCLA has also helped finance the Clean Boats Clean Waters Program to inspect watercraft for AIS on boat landings on the Chain. The Pink Bucket Program, which provides a means for boaters to dispose of weeds, is financed and maintained by ERCLA. There will be time for questions and comments. Everyone is welcome at the meeting. Attendees need not be a member of ERCLA or a property owner to attend. Call (715) 479-6873 for further information.

Vilas County Court report
Man gets one year in prison during revocation sentencing

A 48-year-old Lac du Flambeau man, originally placed on probation for eight years for six counts of failure to support a child, was sentenced to three years in the Wisconsin Prison System during revocation sentencing in Vilas County Circuit Court. Clarence W. Graveen Sr. will serve one year of confinement and two years of extended supervision, according to the sentencing on the first count by Circuit Court Judge Neal A. Nielsen III. Graveen will receive credit for 106 days already serviced. Sentencing on the other five counts will run concurrent with count one. Conditions of the extended supervision include obtain employment, pay support, not to possess or consume intoxicants and follow through with any treatment. Graveen was originally charged with 13 counts of failure to support a child, making his initial appearance Nov. 9, 2009. Seven of the charges were dismissed Nov. 11, 2010, but were read in, and he pleaded no contest to six charges and was placed on probation for eight years with conditions, including paying child support of no less than $200 per month. A revocation order and warrant were issued June 13, and his sentencing hearing on revocation was June 30. In other felony cases, Jonathon J. Stone, 22, of Rhinelander, pleaded not guilty to a charge of manufacturing or delivery of a prescription drug during a preliminary hearing in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. A pretrial conference was set for Aug. 9 at 1:45 p.m. Stone allegedly sold the prescription drug Clonazepam during a 90-minute period at Lake of the Torches Casino in Lac du Flambeau March 9. Clonazepam is a schedule IV controlled substance Donna Marie Klingman, 27, of Watersmeet, Mich., was placed on probation for two years after being convicted of two counts of substantial battery, party to a crime. She allegedly was involved in a fight at the 1938 Bar in Land O Lakes Dec. 5, 2010. She and her sister, Shasta Star Klingman, allegedly punched and kicked a Land O Lakes woman at the bar about 1:30 a.m. Donna Klingman also must pay restitution of $6,118 and was sentenced to six months in the Vilas County Jail with work-release or child-care privileges. She must report by Aug. 18. Other conditions of the probation include not to possess or consume intoxicants, alcohol assessment and any counseling as deemed necessary by the agent, no taverns and no contact with the victim or her family. Wenonah L. Soulier, 20, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with two counts of felony bail jumping, pleaded not guilty and a pretrial conference was set for Sept. 27 at 9:30 a.m. Her bond was modified to allow her to go to Koinonia Residential Treatment Center in Rhinelander. According to the complaint, Soulier was out on felony bond with a curfew and no drinking stipulation when she was arrested at 2:04 a.m. June 26 in Lac du Flambeau with a blood alcohol content of .172%. She also was issued a citation for underage drinking. Soulier was out on bond for armed robbery and substantial battery charges stemming from an incident Oct. 7, 2010, in Lac du Flambeau. A jury trial on that case is set for Oct. 12 at 8:30 a.m. Joseph J. Bickford, 29, of Boulder Junction, charged with false imprisonment, misdemeanor battery and fourthdegree sexual assault, had his case dismissed. Judge Nielsen granted to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning the defendant cannot be retired on the charges. Bickford, according to court records, allegedly beat up his girlfriend of two years at his mothers residence in Lac du Flambeau June 6, 2010. Assistant District Attorney David Breedlove made a motion to dismiss the charges against Bickford, which Nielsen granted with prejudice last week.
Wisconsin Wins shows illegal tobacco sales down in Vilas

The Oneida County Health Department recently conducted 67 tobacco compliance checks throughout Vilas County as a part of the Wisconsin Wins program, finding two establishments which sold tobacco to a minor. During the checks, students between 15 and 17 years of age, accompanied by public health officials, visit Vilas County tobacco retailers and attempt to purchase tobacco. The current illegal sale rate of 2.9% is down from last years illegal sale rate of 9%. The Wisconsin Wins program began in 2001 as an attempt to decrease access of tobacco products to minors. More than 80% of tobacco users begin before the age of 18, according to the Oneida County Health Department. Beginning in 2010, Oneida County became the lead agency for the Northwoods Tobacco Free Coalition, a six-county multijurisdictional coalition comprised of Oneida, Forest, Florence, Price, Vilas and Lincoln counties. Wisconsin Wins and the Oneida County Health Department encourage all clerks selling tobacco to consistently card anyone who looks younger than the age of 27, and to refuse the sale of a tobacco product without proper verification of age.
Great Lakes council offices burglarized and vandalized

LAC DU FLAMBEAU The offices of the Great Lakes Inter-tribal Council at 2932 Highway 47 North in Lac du Flambeau were burglarized and vandalized in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 3, according to authorities.

The Three Lakes Town Board adopted a new section of an ordinance regarding minimum operation standards for businesses with liquor licenses at its meeting last week. The new section, Sec. 6-6(k), requires that if a business with a liquor license issued by the town does not operate for a minimum of 120 consecutive days or more per licensed term, such criteria will be grounds for revocation of the liquor license. The issue was briefly addressed at a prior meeting, where board members were given a copy of Minocquas ordinance regarding minimum operation standards for businesses with liquor licenses. At that time, board members opted to postpone adopting a minimum operations standards section of an ordinance for Three Lakes until the Minocqua ordinance could be read more thoroughly. Town Supervisor Jeff Bruss researched what other towns have done with the ordinance and brought his findings back to the town board meeting. He said Three Lakes wants to prevent business owners from maintaining liquor licenses if their business is not in current or consistent operation. The issue was that other business owners who intend to
maintain a running business may want the liquor license which is, in effect, inactive, because the business that holds it is not being operated. Bruss said a town is only allowed one liquor license for every 500 citizens. Consequently, liquor licenses are not available to any business that may want one. There are provisions in the new section of the ordinance in the event that a business is affected by a natural disaster. In such a case, the business owner will be given two years to rebuild an active business before their liquor license could be revoked. Town Supervisor Steve Garbowicz suggested letters be sent to businesses that are getting close to breaking the minimum operation standards. Police Chief Scott Lea also suggested that when businesses complete their application for liquor licenses, the owner should have to sign a statement verifying that they have been in operation for at least 120 consecutive days in the recent licensed term. Branham Road Scott Soder, chairman of the town Zoning Advisory Committee, gave a report on a recent Oneida County Land Records Committee meeting regarding Branham Road. Soder said four property owners have an interest in the
road, but the boundaries have not been determined because Oneida County has no clear record of the road length. Soder also said that clarification on the town boards previous motion regarding the road would be helpful. Town Chairman Don Sidlowski found and read a previous town board motion which recommended that Three Lakes strongly encourages Oneida County not to sell or quitclaim deed the land that the county wishes to convey, unless the conveyed property line is at a distance of 180 feet short of the north quarter line and not all the way to the north forty. Soder said the next meeting of the Oneida County Land Records Committee will be Aug. 9. Budget repair bill Sidlowski and Town Clerk Sue Harris gave an update on the state budget repair bill and how it will affect Three Lakes operations. Sidlowski said the state is in favor of consolidating smaller responsible units like the town of Three Lakes, which has a population under 25,000, when it comes to recycling programs. A responsible unit can be a municipality, county, tribe, solid waste management system or other unit of local government responsible for planning, operating and funding a recycling program. As of 2006, 1,064 indi-
vidual responsible units implement recycling programs in Wisconsin, according to the Department of Natural Resources. However, the chairman and clerk said they did the calculations and the benefits of consolidating, as well as the extra work for the clerk and the potential threat to the individual identity of Three Lakes as a town, was not worth being involved in this new program. The supervisors agreed. Consequently, Harris was directed to apply, as usual, for the standing recycling grant. The town receives about $15,000 annually from the $19 million program. Other business In other business, the board: heard an update from the clerk regarding the changes that are to take place with the new voter photo identification laws; adopted the name Few Acres Lane for a private road off Drury Lane, which led to a discussion of fire numbers and their fee; and paid the bills in the total amount of $126,062.

tional carry bills that would have allowed people to carry concealed guns without permits. Sen. Jim Holperin (DConover) co-sponsored Senate Bill 93, saying it was a longoverdue extension of Second Amendment constitutional rights to law-abiding gun owners who want to carry concealed weapons. The Wisconsin version of concealed carry is a responsible piece of legislation which is similar to laws which have been in place in every other state except Illinois for many years, said Holperin. Enactment of a concealed carry law in Wisconsin is long overdue, and I was pleased to support the measure with my vote and to witness it being signed into law. Under the law, the state Department of Justice will issue permits to state residents 21 and older who receive training and clear background checks that show they are not felons or otherwise prohibited from carrying guns. The training could be satisfied by classes in firearms safety or hunter safety. Permits will cost a maximum of $50 and be valid for five years. Renewing a license will cost $25. Dan Tomasoski, a certified class instructor from Eagle River, said the comprehensive six-hour class will give people the tools and knowledge about concealed carry. The class is for anyone who wants to learn about the law and how it applies to you and your day-to-day activities while exercising your rights to protect your loved ones, your reputation and your assets, said Tomasoski. Tomasoski said he already has scheduled three courses in July and August, with classes planned in Eagle River, Rhinelander and Park Falls. This comprehensive course gives you the tools and knowledge of what to do to avoid conflict, said Tomasoski. Anyone can attend any class in any area. The law basics Guns will be banned from law enforcement offices, prisons, jails, courthouses, secure mental-health facilities, and the areas of airports beyond security checkpoints. Guns will be allowed in city and state parks, an issue that raised concerns among some opponents of the bill. Permit holders will be able to carry guns in taverns and other places that sell alcohol, provided they are not drinking. Private businesses could post signs to keep guns out of their buildings. Signs also could be posted in government buildings, such as city halls and the State Capitol. But guns could not be banned from government-owned grounds, meaning they could be carried on the Capitol lawn or the Milwaukee County Zoo. Illinois is the only remaining state that bans carrying concealed weapons. Advocates for years have pushed allowing concealed weapons in Wisconsin, but were thwarted by thenGov. Jim Doyle and Democrats in the Legislature. Police could check the database of permit holders only to confirm the validity of a permit that someone produced or to investigate whether someone lied in applying for a permit. Police could not routinely check the database when pulling someone over. The names of those who hold permits will not be available under the state's public records law. The bill also will allow people to carry loaded, uncased guns in their cars. Now, guns are allowed in vehicles only if they are unloaded and kept in cases.
With your continued support, Rotary is making Eagle River, and the world, a better place.
Did you know, your local Rotary Club helped fund construction of new rest rooms at Riverview Park in Eagle River this past spring, donating more than $10,000 toward the project? And last fall, the clubs donation of nearly $17,000 to Vision of Hope Ministries resulted in the construction of a solar-powered well in Berard, Haiti. Because the project included a three-step water purification system, the safe drinking water helped save lives in the midst of a cholera outbreak that killed thousands of people outside Berard last October. A few years ago, the Rotary Club raised more than $75,000 for the renovation of the Silver Lake beach house, plus provided many hours of labor for the project. And soon after, the club raised $50,000 to obtain a state grant for the renovation of the old Eagle River railroad depot. The downtown now has washroom facilities, and the depot serves as a trailhead for the Three Eagle Bike & Hike Trail. Just three years ago, the Rotary Club raised $25,000 to develop a park area south of the depot, featuring rest benches, bike racks, a drinking fountain, a four-sided clock and landscaping. Your local Rotary Club has helped raise more than $600 million for the Polio Plus campaign to eradicate polio on Earth. The task is not finished yet, but has been 99.8% successful. The club has participated in the Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) program for more than 30 years. We have hosted more than 50 students from almost 40 countries. Meanwhile, about 50 local students have enjoyed the same broadening experiences by living with families in other parts of the world. Rotary awards $1,000 in scholarship money to graduating seniors, makes numerous donations to area organizations on an annual basis and is always looking for new ways to invest time, talent and financial resources to make our community and world a safe and healthy place. In recent years, club members have raised $2,000 for the Bergenthal Challenge which supplies holiday turkey dinners for all clients of the Eagle River food pantry. Rotary has hosted at least two meals a year at the Kalmar Center. It was 50 years ago that Rotary led the fundraising campaign to start construction of the original Eagle River Memorial Hospital. And 48 years ago, the club helped start the Eagle River Snowmobile Derby. Our motto is Service Above Self. To keep Rotary working for the community, it needs you to attend the two fundraisers below. We welcome new members. We meet at noon on Mondays at Eagle River Inn. Call Club President Rick Donohoe at (715) 4791147.

Internet caf offered at Northland Pines

Northland Pines School District and the Vilas County Economic Development Corp. are opening an Internet caf for summer visitors and local residents. Caf use is free of charge, and it is located in the high school commons. The high school is on the north side of Eagle River just off Highway 45. Visitors can enter the commons area during normal business hours from the front entrance or the back field house and YMCA entrances (doors 1, 14, 15 and 16). This is a public facility and we welcome the opportunity to offer our Wi-Fi access to everyone in the community, said Northland Pines District Administrator Mike Richie. This is another excellent partnership in which we can supply our high-speed Internet access to local people and tourists who may not be able to get the service at their homes or cottages. The districts website, npsd.k12.wi.us, offers information regarding the district and its facilities. In addition to the schools wireless high-speed Internet access, Richie said there are vending machines in the area and the YMCA is upstairs. Informal business classes on a variety of topics in the caf are planned, according to Bill Lochte of the Vilas County Economic Development Corp. (VCEDC), Broadband Now Taskforce chairman. VCEDC is pressing hard to bring high-speed Internet access to all of Vilas County, said Lochte. Our businesses need this critical new roadway to the world marketplace to grow. We appreciate Northland Pines willingness to share their Internet connection until then. The corporation has more plans for bringing high-speed Internet to all of Vilas County. This is just one step in a longer-term process of linking Vilas County to the cyber highways of today, said VCEDC Chairman Steve Burrill. The VCEDC also plans an Internet Bazaar at the upcoming Festival of Flavors in Eagle River the weekend of Aug. 27 and 28. Rob Riordan of Nsight Teleservices, a nationally recognized speaker about emerging technology, will be the guest speaker. Area high-speed Internet providers will be available at the festival with information about their online services.

The Eagle River Rotary Club was a key partner in a well construction project that has saved lives in the Haitian community of Berard, club members were told last month. Greg Schuenke, president of Vision of Hope Ministries Inc. (VOHM), gave an update to the club on a 100-foot deep well and solar/battery powered water purification system thats been supplying fresh water to about 3,000 community residents since Oct. 12, 2010. Schuenke, of Eagle River, said the clubs donation of $16,920 was instrumental to the nearly $40,000 project, which includes 2,935 gallons of storage tanks, perimeter security and a guard house. There was a cholera epidemic confirmed in Haiti Oct. 21. The incidence of cholera was widespread, but it was very, very low in and around the village of Berard, he said. This low incidence was partially attributable to our water project delivering clean drinking water. It saved lives, and I thank the Eagle River Rotary Club for making this happen. While the Rotary Club spends most of its charitable monies on local projects, such as the renovation of the beach house at Silver Lake Beach and the Railroad Depot in Eagle River, the well project got the attention of the club at a time when Haiti was on a lot of peoples minds following a devastating earthquake in
January 2010. Club President Christine Caz said Rotary International is involved in humanitarian projects across the globe. With the help of local clubs such as ours, Rotary International has raised more than $600 million for the Polio Plus campaign to eradicate polio on Earth, she said. The task is not finished yet, but it has been 99.8% successful. Schuenke told the club that the well project in Haiti uses a dual filtration system to purify the water, with final treatment coming from ultraviolet irradiation. Eight solar panels and a battery system power the 12-volt submersible pump, which can pump 12 gallons per minute. He said the administrator of the project is a high school graduate who received a business administration degree before returning to his home community. Our next challenge, Phase Two, will be making the project self-sustaining, said Schuenke, who built 14 months of operating expenses into the initial startup costs. He said they distribute water three to four times a week, and that families typically take a two-day supply. He said other supporters of the well project include a large church from outside Wisconsin, which also donated about $17,000, along with individual donors and private corporations.
Antiquated equipment that broke down often didnt stop these Haitian workers from completing the 100-foot well.
Caz said one of the Eagle River Rotary Clubs latest local projects was providing $10,000 toward the construction of new rest rooms at Riverview Park. The joint project was accomplished with the help of the Eagle River Lions Club, the Jaycees and the Eagle River Revitalization Com-
mittee. She said the Eagle River Rotary Clubs largest fundraiser of the year, its Wine & Cheese Tasting Social, is scheduled Monday, July 18, at Eagle Waters Resort. Tickets are available at many local banks and other businesses.
After slow start to golf season, play picking up at Eagle River

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

After a slow start to the 2011 golf season due to a late spring, the Eagle River Municipal Golf Course is on the way to recovery. That was the message provided last week to the Golf Course Advisory Committee by course professional Brad Missling. The best way to look at it is we opened with three months of disaster, Missling said. Were down about $20,000 compared to last year. With an early course opening in April 2010 followed by nice weather in May, the course set records early in the season last year. This year, June appeared to be the turning point for the course. On June 1, I was pretty scared and we came through June better than I thought, Missling said. Our June sales of green fees, cart fees, and
range fees were $84,837 compared to $80,434 last June, so we are recovering. The first six days of July brought in $40,801 compared to $33,641 last July. We had a one-day record of 320 golfers on July 3. Data from daily play for June showed increases in both 18- and nine-hole play, with nine-hole play up considerably. Daily 18-hole play increased from 1,022 rounds last June to 1,271 in 2011. Daily nine-hole play increased from 364 rounds last year to 515 rounds this June. Committee member Chuck Bonson said the present economic conditions may contribute to the increase in ninehole play and show people still want to golf but are opting to play nine rather than 18 holes. Task force role The special task force formed to come up with ideas to increase golf course revenue brought a statement from Carol Hendricks on her idea
about the role of the committee, chaired by Alderman Jerry Burkett. Burkett had stated at the task forces last meeting that the role was to increase revenue through more play rather than get involved in personnel issues. I might make a comment: its not working in the direction I wanted it to and it has to be changed, Hendricks said. Its not a business of the city and were in limbo the way its set up. It has to get back to ways of running golf courses. Joe (Laux, city administrator) was supposed to be the chairman, not Jerry. Among Hendricks suggestions were to consider making Missling full-time for eight months and part-time for four months, having Margo RogersAnderson run golf instruction and the golf carts would be the responsibility of groundskeepers. Committee member Bill Lochte agreed with Hendricks on the task forces role

Primary: candidates highlight key issues

sprawling district in northeastern Wisconsin. She said voters can count on her when times are tough. The three biggest issues facing this state are taxes, jobs and regulations, said Simac. After the 2009-11 (Gov. Jim) Doyle biennium budget passed with $2.2 billion in spending and tax increases, it ran 100,000 jobs out of the state 3,000 of them here in the North Woods. Businesses now spend so much time getting in compliance with all these rules, regulations and paperwork that it keeps our business owners from doing the work that they need to do. Simac, owner of a small business herself, said she is ready to help move the state economy forward. I will fight to lessen the tax burden and help create a business climate that is conducive to job creation, she said. By bringing more prosperity to Wisconsin, everybody will reap the benefits. Simac said she decided to run for state Senate at the persistent urging of people throughout the area. I was overwhelmed by the positive reaction the recall received and by the many people who enthusiastically urged me to run, she said. After thoughtful consideration and prayer, I decided that our area needs a voice that isnt afraid of challenges and wont run away from the responsibility of representing the people of northern Wisconsin. Robert Lussow, 68, said he is determined to face Holperin in the recall election next month. Im in this because Im tired of the negligence, the posturing and the pussyfooting around the real issues faced by our communities, said Lussow. Put another way, Im done with the dishonesty, disingenuousness and outright disregard for the people of this district and this state. Lussow said education, transportation and industry are the three main issues facing the 12th District and the entire state. All are linked to each other and require a balanced approach to their problem and solution, said Lussow. All other needed programs cannot be supported without these three areas working well. Because I am only one vote, the ability to listen and discuss among all other representatives, regardless of the political party or belief, is absolutely vital and necessary in order to arrive at a solution. I have been able to do that as a board member and believe that I can accomplish this. Lussow also has a plan to help the state economy. Maintain the balanced budget and reduce spending, he said. Lussow has served on the Lincoln County Board for 11 years and has been its chairman since 2008. Ive never done anything but tell it like it is. Ive won some and Ive lost some, but no matter what, I did my duty and gave the best I had in me every single day, said Lussow. About the candidates Simac and her husband, Arthur Butch Simac have nine children and eight grandchildren. They operate Great Northern Adventure Co. in the town of Lincoln. She manages an equestrian riding club, while he operates a well and water firm. In addition to being first vice chairwoman of the Vilas County Republican Party from 2010-11, Simac is president of Republican Women of the North. In addition, Simac is a speaker for conservative issues and the author of awardwinning childrens books. Simac is a 1976 graduate of New Trier West High School in Northfield, Ill. Lussow was born in Chicago and started flight training before he graduated from Lane Tech High School in 1961. He pursued an aero-engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, but moved on to get his flight instructors certificate in 1962. In 1963, he married Martina, his wife of 48 years. They have three sons, one daughter and seven grandchildren. In 1965, Lussow was hired as a pilot with Delta Airlines. He flew for them for 32 years before retiring New Years Day 1997. From 2000 to the present, he served as county board supervisor and has been chairman since 2008.
Signing poll book mandatory in primary election July 19

One of the biggest changes for voters in this summers recall and special elections will be that they must now sign their name on the poll list before receiving a ballot, according to the Government Accountability Board (GAB). While the requirement for voters to show a photo ID to receive a ballot does not begin until February 2012, the requirement to sign the poll list starts now, said Kevin J. Kennedy, director and general counsel of the GAB. Voters in the 12th Senate District will go to the polls next Tuesday, July 19, for Republican primary in the recall election Many states require voters to sign the poll list before they can receive their ballot, Kennedy said. Elections Division Administrator Nathaniel E. Robinson noted that while showing a photo ID is optional until February 2012, signing the poll book is now mandatory, unless the voter identifies a disability that prevents them from doing so. If the voter refuses to sign the poll list, the voter will not be able to vote, Robinson said.

Northwoods Land Trust sets 10th anniversary event

Northwoods Land Trust (NWLT) will celebrate its 10th anniversary Saturday, July 30, at Eagle Waters Resort east of Eagle River. The event will feature a free seminar titled Preserving Family Land Succession Planning for Future Generations beginning at 3 p.m. According to NWLT executive director Bryan Pierce, the seminar is open to anyone interested in learning about strategies for preserving their family land in the North Woods. Attorney Melissa Kampman of the Ruder Ware law firm in Wausau will present the seminar, focusing on the legal arrangements that can be created to help landowners keep their North Woods properties in the family through multiple generations. This session will provide valuable information on ownership options including legal structures, property management strategies and tax implications, said Pierce. This is also valuable information for any landowners who are considering protecting their properties with conservation agreements through the Northwoods Land Trust. There is no charge for the seminar, but advance reservations are required for seating. Pierce said that a banquet, presentation and silent auction celebration will follow the seminar starting at 4:30 p.m. The cost is $30 per person for participating in the banquet, which is open to the public. The 10th anniversary celebration will begin with a social hour to meet the NWLT board of directors and the start of a North Woods silent auction. According to Pierce, the silent auction will include an original loon art quilt designed and produced for this event, a custom-built St. Croix fly rod (7 feet, 9 inches; 3 weight), a guided tour by naturalist John Bates, guided fly fishing excursions, a Wisconsin deer antler table lamp, beaded moccasins made to fit, an antique wicker fishing creel, preparation of a forest stewardship management plan and other artwork, items and activities. Proceeds from the silent auction will help NWLT protect natural shorelands, woodlands and wetlands in the sixcounty service area of northern Wisconsin, which includes Vilas, Oneida, Forest, Florence, Iron and Price counties. The buffet-style banquet will begin at 5:30 p.m. followed by a presentation titled Celebrating the Past, Looking to the Future A Decade of Northwoods Land Protection. Pierce noted that the presentation will highlight the many private land conservation projects already completed, which protect more than 5,000 acres of land and more than 28 miles of lake and river shorelines. We have had exceptional cooperation and participation this past decade from over 50 private landowners who have now permanently protected their family lands, said Pierce. This event is our way of thanking them for their outstanding contributions to North Woods conservation, and also an opportunity to look ahead toward 2020 and future conservation projects. For more information or to make reservations for the seminar and 10th anniversary banquet, contact Pierce at (715) 479-2490 or nwlt@northwoodslandtrust.org.
The Vilas County Forestry & Land Committee opened bids on 16 tax-foreclosed lands last week, but only accepted four of the proposals totalling $42,020. Two bids were received on a 1.21-acre property at 6313 Big Portage Lake Road in Land O Lakes one from Brian Karls for $22,000 and one from Raymond Fortman for $25,000. The parcel includes a small house and the county has $8,673 in upkeep expenses. While the parcel had an appraised value of $83,000 in 2010, committee members said they felt the appraisal was too high. They accepted the bid of Fortman. A 1-acre parcel in the town of Lincoln appraised at $12,000 was sold with a bid of $1,510 to Larry Greves. Forestry staff indicated the lot was unbuildable. A bid of $10,000 from Dennis Zeloski was accepted for a 0.38-acre parcel of land on Lynx Lake in the town of Washington. It had an appraised value of $2,500. The committee accepted a fourth bid of $5,510 from Beverly Callahan for Lot 10 in the Charlotte Lake subdivision. Last year, it was appraised at $18,000. All other bids for properties were rejected. This included nine bids from Jerry Bybee for the Mill Creek parcels in Land O Lakes ranging in size from 13 to 42 acres. County Forest Administrator Larry Stevens indicated these lands had been withdrawn from the Managed Forest Law and the county could be liable for removal costs and penalties, if any. Also rejected was a bid of $575 by Nelson Trust for two
lots in the Turtle Lake subdivision in the town of Winchester. The lots were appraised at $13,000 and the committee previously rejected bids of $100, $400 and $600. Persons interested in taxforeclosed properties the county offers for sale can obtain the information from the forestry office at 2112 Highway 45 N. in Eagle River or by calling (715) 479-5160. Project bids Maintaining natural forest openings are part of the management plans for the county forest and there about 17 acres of openings that need to be brushed out over the next two summers, according to Stevens. Bids were received from Field & Forest for $4,800 and from Northwoods Forestry for $6,994. The low bid was accepted. Stevens also said property lines between county land and adjacent private lands need to be established prior to developing timber sales. Bids for survey line marking were opened for three projects: Fire Lane North, Honeysuckle and Highway G-Sunken Lake. Eagle Landmark bid $1,880 for Fire Lane North, $940 for Honeysuckle, and $580 for Highway G-Sunken Lake. Maines Surveying bid $2,400 for Fire Lane North, $935 for Honeysuckle, and $935 for Highway G-Sunken Lake. The committee accepted the low bids on all three projects. Vandalism to the railings on a snowmobile bridge over Buckatabon Creek need to be repaired. County snowmobile trail coordinator Dale Mayo indicated quotes he received were $1,580 from Collins Excavating and $1,974 from LaFriske Contractors. The
committee approved the work for Collins Excavating. The county insurance has a $1,000 deductible and will cover the remainder of the repair cost. Other business Assistant County Forestry Administrator John Gagnon reported June timber sale receipts of $90,258, bringing the years total so far to $193,172. It was noted that helicopter application of herbicide on 168 acres of county forest will cost $11,437 and will be done in mid-July. The committee discussed an offer from American Tower to pay the county $100,000 for a perpetual easement over county land for its transmission tower in the town of Cloverland. Supervisors heard a report from Mark Busha, manager of the Highway G Landfill, that additional land on a different site will be needed in about 15 years to continue operation of the landfill. The committee also discussed a possible land trade/purchase and how the county might benefit. In other action items, the committee: accepted a draft county bike/pedestrian route and trail plan developed by the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission; permitted replacement logs at the Vilas County Museum in Sayner to come from the county forest if a logger can be found to volunteer to take them to the museum; approved installation of bleachers at the tennis courts on the Vilas County Fairgrounds in Eagle River; and approved an information box being placed at the county boat landing on Little Tamarack Flowage with staff to approve the location.

Antlerless tag numbers seem mighty high
EARS HAD to be ringing in offices of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) as news of this years antlerless deer-tag numbers was slowly leaked last week, because the talk in hunting circles here was mighty wild. For the record, the department is going to issue 4,000 antlerless tags in Unit 38 to kill its quota for that management area, which is 1,200 does and fawns. They also are going to issue a whopping 7,975 antlerless tags in Unit 36 and another 3,775 tags in Unit 37. Several people who called, emailed or hit me up on the street were forecasting a massive overharvest of does and fawns. They claim the department used its normal hunter success ratios and failed to take all factors into consideration. One hunter told me its not the antlerless tags alone that are the problem, but other circumstances the DNR missed. Among the fears are that after two seasons without doe tags and some venison in the freezer, hunter effort and harvest success rates will rise. Then theres the other antlerless tags that could get filled, like the separate doe tag that every archer gets with the purchase of a license good in every unit that has an antlerless quota here. As if thats not enough reason to be concerned about an overharvest, theres a new law in 2011 that gives every gun deer-license holder, ages 10 to 17, an antlerless tag. As part of this first-year program, those special youth tags can be used anywhere in the state even in the eight units with a zero antlerless quota (Units 34, 35 and 39 in this area).
In the Outdoors
By Kurt Krueger
The department might hope that those youth tags are used solely to provide opportunity for youngsters. But in reality, those tags end up in deer camp and may get used by a group that is looking to provide a certain amount of venison for each family. I dont think they took into consideration that Unit 36 is surrounded by three other units with zero antlerless tags, said a hunter from St. Germain. People are going to be coming here to hunt, where the tags are, even though the deer herd is still hurting. The bottom line, hunters say, is that the DNR is unwittingly organizing what could be a serious overharvest of antlerless deer this fall if hunters dont do something about it. If hunters trust that these antlerless tag numbers and this system of counting deer isnt flawed, then the deer herd is in trouble again, said another hunter. The scribblers gut feeling is that hunters have every reason to be concerned about killing too many antlerless deer. Take Unit 38, for instance. There will be 4,000 antlerless tags sold to both gun and archery hunters. Thousands more archers will get a separate antlerless tag that they could fill without affecting their buck tag. And that doesnt account
for all the kids ages 10 to 17 who can now get an antlerless tag with their gun license. How many antlerless tags is that? Is it 8,000? Is it 10,000? Is it 12,000? Seems to me that any success rate over 10% could result in the harvest of more than 1,200 does and fawns in that unit. A cynical person could conclude that the DNR is conspiring to achieve an accidental overkill in order to make sure deer numbers dont rise. And many people wouldnt be surprised if that were true, because the agency seems hellbent on never allowing deer numbers to get out of hand again. One things for sure, the DNR is not erring on the side of coming up short on its antlerless harvest quota. There is nothing remotely conservative about these numbers. It has to be difficult for Unit 36 hunters to comprehend going from a zero-antlerless tag hunt one year to having nearly 8,000 antlerless tags available the next year. Thats a night-and-day comparison, all in 12 months time. In fact, numbers that high send the message that theres a deer behind every tree shoot first and ask questions later. Hunters who experienced the if its brown, its down years, know how that statesponsored mentality affects the attitude of hunters. It wasnt too long ago that the DNR was threatening to slap Unit 36 hunters with an Earn-A-Buck regulation if they didnt shoot more antlerless deer. And then the department learned after that season that the herd had already been seriously culled the year before, and
The number of antlerless deer tags being issued for this fall has many hunters predicting a harvest thats far above projections. --STAFF PHOTO
their threats had just fueled an even greater overharvest. Im not talking about something that happened in decades past. The department put Unit 36 on the Earn-A-Buck watch list in 2007, urging hunters to shoot more antlerless deer or be faced with the most restrictive deer-hunting regulation in state history. That was just four years ago. Those are still bitter, stinging memories in the minds of hunters who watched the department miscount the herd and issue too many
antlerless tags. So its no wonder that hunters are extremely skeptical, if not a little cynical, of the agencys latest tag numbers. The DNR is right that the deer herd is growing, and that an antlerless harvest is the only way to keep the herd at or near goals (pitifully low goals, I might add, like 1.2 deer per 40 acres of deer range in Unit 38). But hunters are also right the 2011 tag numbers seem far too high when you take everything into consideration.
Guides/Kids Fishing Day set Thursday

The Eagle River Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center, along with the Eagle River Guides Association, will host the 31st annual Guides/Kids Fishing Day Thursday, July 14. This is a fun-filled day for children between the ages of 7 and 12 to experience the beautiful outdoors and to fish with our North Woods guides and fishing enthusiasts, said chamber event coordinator Kim Emerson. There is no charge to participate in the event. Guides/Kids Fishing Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration for the event will be held at the Vilas County Fairgrounds along Highway 70 West in Eagle River from 10 to 11 a.m. Emerson said the names of event participants will be put into a drawing to go fishing with an Eagle River area fishing guide. Children whose names are not drawn will have an alternative fishing opportunity at the Watersmeet Trout Hatchery & Fish Farm in Watersmeet, Mich., said Emerson. Emerson said parents are asked to stay with their children at the fairgrounds until they know if their child will be fishing with a guide or at the trout hatchery in Watersmeet. Pick-up times and locations are different, depending on where the child is fishing, said Emerson. Children may take along their own fishing gear and life preservers; otherwise, gear will be provided by the guides. Area bait shops will provide the bait. Each child will receive a goody bag of fishing-related items, said Emerson. Other activities include how-to fishing seminars and the drawings for door prizes. For more information about Guides/Kids Fishing Day, contact Emerson at the Eagle River chamber of commerce at (715) 479-6400 or 1(800) 359-6315.
Fishing with the Guides

By George Langley
Boat traffic, high sun means low-light bite

While hot weather makes it uncomfortable for anglers, swimming and other water sports are great during these periods of high temperatures. The high water traffic and extreme light penetration has resulted in most of the game fish species feeding at night or during low-light periods. Water levels are much higher than last year and temperatures have now moved toward the high 70s on many lakes. There is a definite thermocline on the deep-water lakes. While weed growth seems slow on the Chain, on other lakes the weeds are right to the top in many areas. It is a great time of the year to get out and enjoy the water, but I would sure suggest early morning or later in the evening for fishing. Walleye fishing has been tough lately. This is partly due to a very late mayfly hatch and partly due to the walleyes having gone to a night feeding pattern. Anglers will be able to find some fish around bars and in the weeds during the daytime, but the concentration of fish are gone in those areas. All types of bait are working now, but try to fish the evenings for best results. Northerns have slowed a little from the early action, but are still producing in weedy areas throughout the area. Chubs, or any noisy flashy bait, will work for these aggressive fish. Try some Johnson Silver Minnows in the weeds for good action. Bass have been the stars lately. Both the smallies and largemouths have been producing very good action. The largemouths are in shallow weeds, especially on cloudy days, and biting aggressively on plastics and spinnerbaits. Nightcrawlers work well also, but it is hard to keep the panfish away. Just look for the heaviest weed cover on any lake for the largemouths. Smallies, on the other hand, are on rocky edges in 8 to 12 feet of water. Leeches work very well on these fish, along with any crayfish imitation bait. Muskies have moved to a night feeding pattern and have become much harder to catch during the daytime. Anglers would be advised to fish the early morning or late evenings for these fish, or fish at night. Panfish are hitting well now on all lakes, with sunfish and bluegills everywhere in the weeds. Just hook on a worm or a waxworm and watch the bobber. Perch are on the deeper weed edges, and crappies are in deeper brush piles. Now is a good time to swim at noon and fish after suppertime or before breakfast. Good luck and good fishin.

Four state DNR hatcheries raise walleyes for stocking

Nearly 3 million walleyes, Wisconsin anglers favorite fish, have been stocked in dozens of lakes and rivers over the last few weeks. The fish, up to 2 months old and 2 inches in size, were harvested from the Art Oehmcke Fish Hatchery in Woodruff, the Tommy G. Thompson Hatchery in Spooner, the Lake Mills Hatchery in its namesake community and, for the first time in 20 years, the Wild Rose State Fish Hatchery in Waushara County. Construction of new coolwater facilities at that century-old hatchery allowed fish crews there to return to producing walleye for the first time in a generation. It was a good year for small fingerling walleye production, and its good news for future walleye fishing opportunities in Wisconsin, said Dave Giehtbrock, statewide fish production manager. The longer winter led to later egg collection, which caused a logistical complication at some hatcheries, but the cooler water temperatures were good for the walleye, and we were able to pull off successful rearing at our hatcheries, producing the fish we needed to produce. The walleye are stocked to provide walleye fishing opportunities where otherwise there would be none, and to help restore naturally selfsustaining walleye populations in the receiving waters. The vast majority of the states walleye fisheries are naturally reproducing, but stocking plays an important role in some waters. How long it takes these little guys to reach legal size depends on the water where theyre stocked and regulations, but count on two to five years before these fish are likely to turn up in the frying pan, said Giehtbrock. The fish have been raised at the four hatcheries for the last month or two, living in hatchery ponds that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fertilizes to help fuel production of algae. Zooplankton in the pond eat the algae and the young fish eat the zooplankton. Now that the plankton and algae supplies are depleted, its time to get the fish out before they start eyeballing one another.

Three Lakes hosts two-day muskie tournament qualifier

The Professional Muskie Angler Circuit (Pro-MAC) recently held its second twoday qualifier for the 2011 season, resulting in winners and a wild card team receiving invites to the Invitational Championship. Twenty-five legal muskies were registered in the first day of the tournament, however, soaking rains the following day slowed down the muskie activity, as only 11 muskies were registered. A grand total of 36 fish were caught during the tournament, with 12 teams scoring on multiple fish for the contest. The top-five finishers for the Pro-MAC Three Lakes Chain qualifying tournament were as follows: First, John and Andy Meyer; second, Brent Kiedrowski and John Bennett; third, Brian Emmerich and Brian Kastner; fourth, Bob Dekker and Chip Bottrell; and fifth, Dan Buss and Todd Luedtke. The first-place Meyers caught three muskies, measuring 40 inches, 371/2 inches and 34 inches. The largest muskie of the contest measured 461/4 inches and was caught at 7:25 a.m. on day two by Dawson Usack and Don Sandness. The next tournament in the Pro-MAC series will be at the Boom Lake/Sugar Camp Chain Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 6 and 7. To fish the event, fill out an entry form and mail it in, or sign up for the tournament on the previous Friday, Aug. 5, at Cross Country Bar and Grill just north of Rhinelander on Highway 17 between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. For more information about the Pro-MAC, log on to professionalmuskieanglercircuit.co m, WMTseries.com or call (715) 277-4411.

Walleyes:
tures helped boost survival in the ponds and led to surplus fish that were able to help fill quotas elsewhere. That hatchery stocked 1,125,000 fish, including providing a surplus of about 100,000 fish. In addition, the Thompson hatchery transferred about 40,000 fish offsite for additional rearing at cooperative ponds maintained by fishing clubs and will keep about 50,000 fish at the hatchery to be raised to large fingerling size. At Wild Rose, supervisor Steve Fajfer said that returning to walleye production after 20 years was a learning experience for everyone, but that were very pleased. There were some challenges, but the fish survived very well, and we were successful. Hatchery technician Ben Heimbach experimented with putting different densities of fish in the ponds to try to maximize growth rate and returns. The ponds were the same and the same amount of fertilizer was added. Were still crunching the numbers from that experiment and it will take a couple
FROM PAGE 10A

of years to know what density is best, Fajfer said. But our fish in general were very good sizes up to 2 inches long, which is excellent size for small walleye fingerlings. Wild Rose stocked 246,816 fish weighing a total of 384 pounds. Wild Rose also produces other cool-water fish, like northern pike and sturgeon, and also produces coldwater fish like Great Lakes trout and salmon. The hatchery also will keep some of the young walleye onsite to raise to large fingerling size, 6 to 8 inches. Those fish will be stocked in the fall. Lake Mills, which had the trucks rolling earlier in June, stocked 1,112,566 fish. The hatchery also produces rainbow and brown trout. The Art Oehmcke Fish Hatchery has also finished its stocking and transferred 492,342 fish from the hatchery to Wisconsin waters, Giehtbrock said. That hatchery also is raising fish still onsite to large fingerling size for stocking later this year. More information on state fish hatcheries is available on the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.
Permitted bass tourneys can cull with new law

Anglers fishing in permitted tournaments can now cull, or sort, smallmouth or largemouth bass under a new law signed last month by Gov. Scott Walker. The new law, which took affect June 14, allows culling in Wisconsin but limits the practice to participants in a Department of Natural Resources (DNR)-permitted bass tournament in which the bass are caught, held in a livewell, and released to the water, according to Jon Hansen, the DNR fisheries biologist coordinating the tournament permit system. In an earlier pilot study in 2005 and 2006, culling bass was allowed in seven tournaments on an experimental basis. The new law does not allow culling for any species other than bass. Culling is defined as the practice of releasing a live fish from an anglers possession and replacing it with another fish. The released fish does not count towards the anglers daily bag limit after it is released if the angler is participating in a permitted bass fishing tournament. The number of fish held by the tournament angler at any one time cannot exceed the daily bag limit authorized for that water, even if the fish are later released. Any released fish must be able to swim away under its own power. Anglers who are culling must have a functioning livewell. To minimize delayed mortality caused by stress of holding fish in livewells at warmer water temperatures, bass tournaments occurring between the first Saturday in July and the second Sunday in August generally will still have a three-fish daily bag limit, unless the DNR has data that shows the water temperatures will be below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Only DNR-authorized fishing tournaments can cull, so small tournaments that do not now have a permit but want to be able to cull bass must seek a permit to gain that privilege, Hansen said. A tournament permit is needed if any of the following apply: the tournament involves 20 or more boats, or 100 or more participants; targets any trout species on waters classified as trout streams; is a catch-hold-release tournament with an off-site weigh-in; or has a total prize value of $10,000 or more, or the participants will be culling largemouth or smallmouth bass during the tournament. In 2010, there were 211 permitted bass tournaments in Wisconsin and, so far, there are 207 permits for bass tournaments in 2011, Hansen said.

Turtle season opens July 15

The Wisconsin turtle season will open statewide Friday, July 15, and run through Wednesday, Nov. 30, reminds the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The open season does not include those species that are listed as endangered or threatened. The ornate box turtle, Blandings turtle and the wood turtle are protected and may not be taken at any time. Anyone who collects or possesses native Wisconsin unprotected aquatic turtles must have one of the following licenses: fishing, small game, sports, conservation patron, setline or set or bank pole. Turtles may be taken by hand, dip net, hook and line, set line, set or bank poles, hooking or hoop net trap. No other trap types are allowed. Turtles may not be taken by hook and line from trout streams during the closed trout season. The possession limit for snapping turtles and softshell turtles is three statewide. The one exception is the Mississippi River, where the possession limit is 10 for snapping turtles and five for softshell turtles. DNR officials say turtles are

Staffen, Koller, teams to be inducted at Pines

The Eagle River/Northland Pines High School Athletic Hall of Fame Committee will induct a standout athlete, a long-time coach and two girls basketball teams into the hall of fame this fall. The athlete to be inducted is Gene E. Staffen, a 1947 graduate of Eagle River High School, and the coach to be inducted is Dave Koller, a cross-country and track coach at the high school for more than 30 years. The hall of fame also will induct the 1979-80 and 1980-81 girls basketball teams. The teams, coached by Tom Druschke, reached the WIAA State Girls Basketball Tournament both seasons and finished second in both tournaments, bringing home the silver ball for the Northland Pines trophy case. Staffen participated in football, basketball and baseball during high school, earning a total of eight high school letters. Staffen played football at UW-La Crosse, but injured both knees while playing at the collegiate level. He went on to coach high school football at Medford, Neillsville and Edgerton High School. He was inducted into the Wisconsin High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Koller has coached cross-country at Northland Pines for more than 30 years and also was a long-time volunteer coach for the track team. While the wins or losses werent the most important, what mattered to Koller were the students who participated. His greatest reward has been to inspire and coach athletes beyond the limits they set for themselves. The committee invites friends, classmates and family members of all inductees and teams to the hall of fame induction ceremony set for Friday, Aug. 19, prior to the Northland Pines football game against Three Lakes. The hall of fame committee is seeking photos of the two basketball teams, high school yearbooks with team photos or any other memorabilia from those teams to display at the ceremony. People should contact John Wainwright or Tom Druschke as soon as possible if they have any items in regard to the teams. All items will be returned. The Eagle River/Northland Pines High School Athletic Hall of Fame always seeks donations to cover the expenses of the ceremony and plaques. Sponsorship fees are $100 for corporations and $25 for individuals. All corporate sponsors will be recognized at the ceremony and in the program. Sponsorships can be mailed to Tom Obrodovich, Eagle River/Northland Pines High School Athletic Hall of Fame, 1160 Taylor Lake Road, Eagle River, WI 54521. For more information, contact Wainwright at (715) 479-7132 or Obrodovich at 479-7627. The hall of fame, developed by a nine-member committee in 2003, recognizes selected persons and teams who have contributed or excelled in high school, college and professional sports, including players, coaches, teachers and citizens of the school district.

Kallas makes comeback, Brass wins thriller at TNT

BY JEREMY MAYO
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW
___________
A week after a hard crash left his car badly damaged, John Kallas of Hurley was back in victory lane Saturday night at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes, holding off points leader Jordan Kurtti in a spirited battle in the WISSOTA AMSOIL Dirt Track Series (WADTS) Street Stocks feature. It was one of the highlights of another action-packed night on the high banks. Todd Brass of Argonne made a lastcorner pass on a green-whitecheckered finish to win the TNT Bombers main event. Meanwhile, Jerry Grasse of Phelps kept his winning streak going in the WADTS
Midwest Modifieds and Wausaus Bo Bennish won the TNT Stingers feature in his season debut. After dropping from first to third in point standings last week due to a wreck, Kallas plan was to get ahead of the trouble early in Saturdays WADTS Street feature. Starting in fifth, he charged to the inside on the start, made it three-wide going into turn one and by the time the field came back to the line, Kallas had passed pole sitter Jeff Mullins for the lead. Kallas built a full straightaway lead in the first four laps as the rest of the field tried to get by Mullins. By lap five, Leif Gunderson, last weeks runner up, and Kurtti had done just that.
Through a number of caution restarts, second-place Kurtti chose the inside line, challenging Kallas but unable to pass him. With five laps left, Kurtti mixed things up and tried the outside line on the final restart. The plan backfired as Nick Visser passed Kurtti for second. Kurtti got back by Visser, but ran out of time to catch Kallas, who scored his second win of the season at TNT. Kurtti, Visser, Ben Pitlik and Heidi Karshbaum rounded out the top five. The Bombers were back in form Saturday night with six cautions slowing the proceedings, forcing a green-whitecheckered finish with only seven of the 15 scheduled laps complete.
Brass closed in on leader John Johnson Sr. down the stretch, sticking his fender to the outside for the crossover move into turn three. Johnsons car pushed up the track coming off turn four, allowing Brass and Denny Tushoski to slip to the inside. It was a three-car drag race to the finish with Brass edging Tushoski and Johnson settling for third. Ron Reese and Mike Terry completed the top five. Racing will return next Saturday with WADTS Midwest Modifieds and Street Stocks along with TNTs Bombers and Stingers. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., with racing at 7:45 p.m. For more information, visit TNTSpeedway.com.
Dustin Miller of Rhinelander won his sixth straight Pure Stock feature at Eagle River Speedway Tuesday night. The defending track Pure Stock points champion went from winning by inches the week before to defeating his competition by a half a lap. The Pure Stock heat race was an exact repeat of last week. Miller got on the inside of Ron Reese of Eagle River on the final turn of the final lap to win the race by a bumper. Some among the crowd thought Miller waited for the final turn of the race to make his move in an effort to excite the fans. I didnt plan it that way, said Miller. I just waited for the right time to make my move. Other than Ty Springer of Eagle River, all the drivers who had won their respective features the previous week were defeated, including Jason Zdroik in the B-Mods, Jeff Klopstein Jr. in Street Stocks, and Jake Reiff in the Micro Sprints. Zdroik of Eagle River ran Brad Hartmans B-Mod car. Zdroik worked out some handling problems from the heat race to come from the back of the pack and challenge Jesse Aho of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the feature. Aho built a commanding lead, but three caution flags kept Zdroik in the hunt for his third consecutive B-Mod feature. Aho held on to get his first B-Mod feature win of the season. Zdroik took second, while Mike Truscott of Chippewa Falls took third in his first appearance at Eagle
River Speedway this season. Jared Cech of Rhinelander jumped out to a commanding lead in the Micro Sprints feature. The previous weeks winner, Reiff of Deerbrook, kept closing the gap from the eighth lap on. On the 15th and final lap, Cech held Reiff in check by less than 10 feet for the win. Cech and his Honda-powered Micro Sprint ran most of the race near 90 miles-per-hour. Mark Schueneman of Rhinelander made a memorable return to stock car racing. Schueneman started the Street Stocks feature in the back of the pack, but by the seventh lap of the 20-lap feature, he was riding the bumper of first-place Ben Pitlik of Eagle River. On the 13th lap, car problems forced Pitlik into the pits, helping Schueneman into the lead. Then, Schueneman began battling with Klopstein of Baraga, Mich., who had won the past two Street Stocks features. However, Klopstein lost control of his car on the white flag lap, giving Schueneman the win. Kevin Hartman of Conover took second and Jason Jenson of Eagle River took third. Stock car racing will return to Eagle River Speedway Tuesday night with hot laps beginning at 7 p.m. and racing to start at 7:30 p.m. On Tuesday, July 26, Eagle River Speedway will host the Hartman Well Drilling and Pumps B-Mod Shoot-out. On Tuesday, Aug. 9, Auto Value will have the Open Mod Special at the speedway.

St. Germain Golf Club to host junior golf event
In conjunction with its Junior Golf Program, the St. Germain Golf Club will host a Junior Golf Fun Day Tuesday, July 26, at the 19th Hole Par 3 Golf Course at 10 a.m. The event is open to all youths ages 5 through 12. Ages 8 to 12 will play nine holes, while those 7 and younger will play four holes. After golf, a hot dog lunch will be served at Mulligans Snack Shack at St. Germain Golf Club. Following lunch, a putting clinic and contest will be hosted by golf pro Brian Baldwin of the Professional Golf Association and his staff. The cost for all ages will be $10 per player and will include golf, logo ball and lunch. Parent chaperones are needed and volunteers are welcome. To sign up to be a player or a volunteer, call St. Germain Golf Club at (715) 542-2614 and leave name, age and phone number. Pairings will be posted by Monday, July 25. Junior Fun Day was developed by St. Germain Golf Club to promote junior golf in the area, as well as offer a learning experience to all participants. As a youth, I had the opportunity to learn the game through free group lessons and personally realized what an impact golf can make in a young persons life, said Baldwin. Under my direction, St. Germain Golf Clubs Junior Program has offered free instruction to all participants since 1996. If we can get young people excited about the game and eager to learn at an early age, golf can be a game of a lifetime.

America still the engine driving the future

In these troubling times, Bard College professor Walter Mead says, While the 21st century will be tumultuous, the United States is better positioned to adapt than is China, Europe or the Arab world. The future still belongs to America. Wealthy investor Warren Buffet often says, Blessed is the baby born today in the United States. That baby still has the best opportunity for a long, successful life. At the same time, the late Russian/American novelist Ayn Rand is quoted saying, You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality. In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, Mead made the case for a bright future for America, despite all the angst about Americas challenges from the Global Economy. He said experience counts, no one in the developing world can match our experience with change and that will keep the United States on top. Asia, with China and Indias 2 billion-plus people, is a growing economic power, but they are faced with enormous problems and they will be challeged to deal with those problems. America has previously faced growing pains and has dealt with them. Change is Americas home field. Change is not easy to deal with at any time. America is

faced with big problems but it will deal with them, manage them and find a way to take advantage of them. Asia, Europe, South America and the Arab world will struggle with the changes facing them in the 21st century. The world will continue to follow Americas lead. * * * Did you notice? July 1 was the 45th anniversary of when Medicare went into effect. At that time, the program covered senior citizens only. Former President Harry Truman, 81, got the first Medicare card. Now the programs Medicare and Medicaid cover seniors, younger disabled adults and low-income children. In 2010, Medicare covered about 48 million people and Medicaid covered 54 million. Nine million people are covered by both programs. Medicare cost $526 billion and Medicaid cost $273 billion. Those numbers, if changes arent made, will soar in coming years. Government experts say those soaring costs will be unsustainable. Everyone agrees that we need safety nets in America to make sure the neediest, the poorest seniors, families and children are taken care of in tough times. Medicare Chief Actuary Richard Foster says when the new ObamaCare law goes into full effect in 2014, between 16 and 20 million additional people will be added to the Medicaid program alone. I think most people would assume a safety net is needed to catch the neediest 15% of people. The problem is, 20% to 25% of people are finding ways into that safety net. As a compassionate people, we dont mind lending them a hand in times of adversity. But we expect the aid to be temporary, just until the crisis has passed. What is happening? Well, people are living longer, the program rules have not been adjusted over the years, the economy has affected tens of millions of people, medical advances and costs have had an effect and a host of factors have made it more attractive for millions of people to stay in the safety net instead of working to rise above it.

The program rules did not provide for many of these situations. Instead of being a temporary program, they have become a permanent way of life for too many. Social Security rolls are set to explode, as are the Medicare and Medicaid rosters. Forty-five million receive food stamps, and were told 50% of American workers do not pay federal income taxes. All the while, jobs for those people are becoming harder to find. * * * John Cogan, a professor at Stanford and a former deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Reagan administration, knows the facts about Social Security and Medicare. He tells us the programs are flawed but they can be fixed. For the rest of this decade, federal budgets will be in deficit by more than $1.5 trillion a year, if things continue as is. America is currently borrowing 45 cents of every dollar being spent. The current national debt ceiling talks are a small band-aid on a major bleeding injury. Heres some math from Cogan. A typical 66-year-old couple, who worked 40 years, along with their employers, have contributed nearly $500,000 in payroll taxes To McNUTT, Pg. 15A
Our View
It will take patience, flexibility to get ATV routes thru Vilas
It was one month ago that some supervisors sitting on the Vilas County Forestry & Land Committee said town leaders should decide if they want all-terrain vehicle (ATV) routes on their town roads, instead of the county taking the lead on an overall route system. What those county supervisors seem to be saying is that the heart of any route system will be town roads, not county highways and, therefore, the planning needs to start on the town level. But they didnt close the door on county cooperation, noting that the towns could later come to the county if they need or want to connect with the county highway system in some way. We agree. It just makes sense to us that if there is ever a widespread ATV route system that utilizes public roads to move these machines through the county and onto areas with trail systems, the bulk of it will occur on low-speed, lowvolume town roads as opposed to busy, highspeed county highways. As weve written before, the Landover ATV Club needs to figure out a route system that minimizes the use of county highways. The clubs initial plans called for using more than 12 miles of county highways as routes, which we believe to be unacceptable. Traffic on county highways is moving too fast compared to routes that will carry ATVs at 25 to 30 mph. One reason town boards should decide the fate of ATV routes is that its members have their fingers on the pulse of the community. They are best suited on the local level to know how property owners and motorists will be impacted. Advocates of ATV routes need to realize that not everyone is against them even people who question certain aspects of the plan. As they say, the devil is in the details. Most people need details before they can support new things. Stereotyping those who might oppose portions of the plan as anti-ATV will be, in the long run, counterproductive to their overall route plan. We suggest that ATV groups get their issues worked out first on the town level, because theyre going to need a strong town recommendation to win over the county board on the use of county lands or highways. That 2004 referendum vote still weighs heavily on the minds of county board members. And one more thing: we are not going to endorse the use of county highways as ATV routes. Some stretches of county highway right of way might be appropriate for a link trail between town roads, especially in forested or low-density residential areas. But we wont advocate running ATV trails past lakes or other areas of high environmental sensitivity. We support trying to figure out some solution to the ATV issue in Vilas County. But clubs need to be flexible, because someday they might get a chance to develop a system with limitations. As an example, would they support a network of town road routes and county right-of-way trails that is closed during the peak of summer, say in July and August? ATVs are a touchy subject here. Ignoring that will hurt the chance of developing routes.
Andy Rooney
Picture this
EVERY ONCE in a while, a newspaper or another publication of some kind will ask me for a picture of myself. I can never find one I want to send them. Why dont pictures of us ever look the way we think of ourselves as looking? Occasionally, someone will take a picture of me thats flattering, but even that doesnt look the way I think I look when I leave the mirror in the morning after shaving and combing my hair. Just about every picture Ive ever had taken of myself looks the way I look for about one instant every six months, but not at all the way I look all day long on most days of my life. I dont want my picture to fool anyone by making me look handsome; I just want it to look like plain, old, everyday Andy Rooney. It never does. This is as true with carefully posed group pictures as it is with casual snapshots taken when I wasnt even aware there was someone with a camera around. In another 100 years, some great-great-grandchild of mine is going to find a picture of me in a box of old junk and say, So thats what he looked like! No, great-great-grandchild, thats not what I looked like. That just happens to be the weird look I had on my face when the photographer snapped that picture. I never looked that way before that instant, and I never looked that way again in my whole life. Once in a while, I get out my old high school or college yearbook. Theres one picture of me on the swim team that makes me look young, muscular and handsome. When anyone else looks at it, they usually say, You were really good-looking in high school, werent you? I never tell them the truth, but the truth is, that picture didnt look any more like the way I really looked most of the time than the To ROONEY, Pg. 15A

Lazy, hazy days are no more

THEY CALL these the lazy, hazy days of summer, I guess for good reason. Until last weekend, I had been very, very lazy about getting on my bicycle this summer, but thats all changed now, and will stay that way at least until September. Some people, you see, ride bikes for fun. I am one of those people. Some people ride bikes to race. I am not one of those. Still other people ride bikes because they really need to or they will become the human version of the Met Life blimp. I am one of those. So, I ride my bike for fun, and I ride it to try and keep my bathroom scale from exploding every time I step on it. I have fun every time I ride my bike, while much of

the time my scale says my efforts at saving its life are akin to fighting a losing battle. Still, I try. That is, I used to, and with fair success. That was when I was putting somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 miles a summer on my bike. Unfortunately, the last couple of summers I came up short of that number, like 800 miles short. This riding season I was apparently intent on setting a new low-mileage record, as evidenced by the fact that

OP-ED/READER OPINION
Dog, deer populations out of control in state

Letter to the Editor: Subject: Recent Our View Vilas Co. News Review, authored by Kurt Krueger, Gary Ridderbusch and Anthony Drew. Your position is that 800 wolves now roaming state fields and forests is a serious overpopulation of wolves. This enormous surplus has led to intolerable levels of depredation the past year, including injury or death to 14 dogs. The death or injury of 14 dogs is intolerable? How many dogs are road-killed annually in Wisconsin. Is that also intolerable? What infinitesimal percentage is 14 dogs of the states dog population? What is your agenda? Isnt the state deer population well over 1 million? Are you going to claim that wolves do more overall damage than deer? Surely not. Your piece makes your position on wolves clear, when you describe wolf supporters as fanatics. Its not wolves that are out of control in Wisconsin, but I believe that a strong case can be made that both dog and deer populations are most assuredly out of control. A pet dog will never in my lifetime be of more value than a wolf. Your editorial indicates you believe otherwise, which I find totally amazing for guys who live in the North Woods and who supposedly are outdoorsmen, which implies some sense of appreciation of natural balance. Pets have no value in nature quite the contrary. This is my view. Stephen Housefield Three Lakes

boat landing and back, reminded me you dont have to go far in this neck of the woods to see some mighty fine country. The best part of that ride is the section along Ben Bendrick Drive, a very lightly used by motor vehicles town road that has you riding literally within 30 feet or so of South Trout Lake. I hit it absolutely perfectly, rolling along the road just as a setting sun was lending an absolutely gorgeous rose-colored hue to the nearly cloudless sky. As I passed through small openings between skyscraper white pines lining the shore, I could catch glimpses of kayakers lazily paddling across a placid lake which, on other days, can easily be whipped to a froth of 2-foot rollers with a stiff west wind. I didnt stop anywhere to take a longer look because I
was, after all, trying to sweat off 40 pounds on one ride, but I did ride the 2-mile stretch at a pretty slow pace, both going and coming back. Sunday I rode Highway K west from Highway M over to Star Lake and back. Tell me there is a more beautiful ride in all of Wisconsin and Ill eat my hat. Its a tough ride, at least for someone as out of shape as I am, but somehow the pain of climbing the hill past Bruce Wilsies old house at Aqualand, and then the long climbs past Stillwaters into the little village of Star Lake itself were eased considerably by the views of Lost Canoe, Little Star and Star lakes along the way. There will be other routes I ride the rest of this summer, many of them old favorites, and perhaps a new one or two. Among the must-rides will be a circle route on my mountain bike along Razorback Road to Rearing Pond Road, then across Old White Birch Road out to a quick jog on Highway K to Nebish Road,
down to North Muskellunge Road and back home. The ride, at about 16 miles, isnt that long, but with some soft sand stretches to truck through and a washboard ride on North Muskellunge Road hint, hint, whichever governmental body is responsible for maintenance it gives you an excellent workout. Not only that, but its a rare thing to see a motor vehicle once you turn off Razorback Road and quite common to see practically any kind of wild critter on a given trip, including a black bear nearly nose to nose as I did on a ride a few summers ago. Then there is the ride across North Creek Road up Boulder Junction way, most notable for what may be the steepest hill climb in Vilas County a little ways before you get to Edith Lake. Highway B, especially in September when the sugar maples form a miles-long corridor of blazing red, is one of my favorite rides. I usually start in Boulder Junction, ride up to B, head for Land O
Lakes until I get to Highway S, cut down to K, swing around Buckatabon lakes back to K, and then back through Star Lake to Boulder Junction. Its a long, tough ride for me, one I usually do just once a year but, man, is it a good one. Usually I try to get in a ride up in the Upper Peninsula each summer, sometimes more than one. South Boundary Road in the Porkies is a dandy, as is the road from Bessemer up to Lake Superior at Black River Harbor, although with the long, long climb back up from the lake being more than these old legs want to do, I usually let my wife ferry me back. Anyway, last weekend got me fired up. Whether my inherent laziness throws cold water on the flames before I lose the weight I need to lose actually, 15 pounds would be OK I dont know, but I can promise you Im going to give it my best shot. Who knows, maybe Ill get my 1,000 miles this year yet.
Retired state educators disappointed in budget

Letter to the Editor: This is an open letter to the governor and Wisconsin legislators. Dear Gov. Walker and Wisconsin legislators: The 2011-13 Wisconsin state budget has been approved and signed. We write on behalf of the Wisconsin Retired Educators Association (WREA) and its 15,000 members statewide. As a nonpartisan organization, WREA values the legislative process which includes healthy debate and compromise in an atmosphere of civility, courtesy and dignity. In contrast, we decry the political process where decisions are made along party lines according to a political blueprint that emphasizes power and control. As an organization of retired educators with thousands of years of teaching experience, our members have intimate knowledge of the impacts of legislation on the quality of public schools. Coupled with the expansion of charter and private schools, the deep cuts to public education in this budget fail to provide our 872,000 public school children with the quality education they deserve. There is a disconnect between a weakened education system, prekindergarten through higher education, and Wisconsin as a mecca for jobs and growth. The additional cuts to senior and family programs in this budget come at a time when many Wisconsin families have already hit bottom or at least they thought they had. A budget has been signed which negatively impacts our most vulnerable populations, while giving large breaks to corporations and the wealthy. Morale in our state is at an all-time low as Wisconsin has become polarized, dividing communities and families. The great divide began with the fight over the elimination of collective bargaining rights for most public employees, even after they had made concessions to pay part of their health insurance and employee contributions into the pension fund. Provisions in this budget concentrate power in a few top leaders; decisions have been made to programs, including the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) without actuarial review; and checks and balances in our system are null and void. As our policymakers, you need to know whats on our minds and what we value. WREA is encouraging its members and other interested citizens to contact you to express concern and disappointment in the process and the passage of 2011-13 Wisconsin state budget. Yes, the budget bill has been approved and signed. But life is not over in Wisconsin. We all need to speak up with voices of reason that can be heard over the roar of power. Carol Lamp WREA President Middleton
Voter ID bill discriminates against seniors

Dear Editor: There goes Gov. Walker again using us seniors as enemies. When Senate Republicans passed the photo identification (ID) bill requiring people to show photo IDs at the polls in order to vote who does it hurt the most the seniors and the youngest voters. They should be making it easier for us to vote not harder. Hang on to your drivers license, seniors even if you dont drive anymore you will now need them or a Wisconsin ID to vote. If you have limited mobility, you must now include a photocopy when mailing your ballots. Shame on the senators who voted for the voter discouragement bill. There has been no evidence of widespread fraud in Wisconsin even though they would like us to think there is. This bill will cost $7 million to implement over the next two years and more after that. Do you call that fiscal responsibility when they should be creating jobs instead of repealing things like our clean-water act? Is that what you call going forward asking us to drink dirty water? We all know now that Paul Ryan and the rest of the Republicans want to kill Medicare as it is and change it into voucher care, a private plan that they tell us will save and improve Medicare. We may be old, but we arent stupid! If Mr. Gullan wants to believe this, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell him. He is right about the biggest changes being for the 55 and under though either he doesnt have any kids or he wants to throw all of you under the age of 55 under the bus. If he wants to defend the millionaire Koch brothers go ahead even though they are responsible for some of our high gas prices due to speculation. I guarantee hes not going to get an invite to Los Angeles with Gov. Walker for a good time. If Paul Ryan (Republican from Janesville) was really serious about his Medicare plan, he would include stopping the oil subsidies to the big oil companies and ending tax cuts for millionaires. Even Newt Gingrich said the plan was right-wing social engineering imposing a radical change. For those of you who want to give up your Medicare and Social Security (because the Republicans want to privatize that, too), why dont you go to the private sector and then there will be more money left for the rest of us who dont want to change it. All but four Republicans in the House and all but five Republicans in the Senate voted for Paul Ryans kill Medicare bill. If you seniors dont like the way they voted, we have some recalls coming up soon. I urge you to stay informed and call your representatives. Maybe Ms. Mugerauer is right we do Oh, Leo, Ill bet she said. That doesnt look at all like me. Some newspapers use a picture of me with this column, and I dont want to spoil it for readers, but believe me thats not what I look like. I didnt even look like that 20 years ago when the picture was taken. We had a lot of old photo albums in my family because my father took hundreds of pictures. Over the years, those albums piled up. One day years ago, we got them out to look at them, and one need a new USA Freedom Party for the middle class and average Americans! Darlene Goldschmidt Eagle River

(todays dollars). They expect to get those dollars back during retirement. Note: The government has already spent that money. While they paid in $500,000, Cogan says the couple is entitled to receive $1 million in cash and health-care benefits over their expected lifetimes. That covers the $500,000 for Social Security and another $450,000 for Medicare benefits. Its a Ponzi scheme program that is being exposed. The government simply cant honor these promises without making changes. The changes needed are not easy, nor will they be popular. Thus, the stalemate in Washington. ___________ Television will never completely replace the newspaper.

READER OPINION
Figures show support for ATV routes

Dear Editor: After reading the comments in the paper concerning ATVs over the past few months, one would get the perception that the majority of people in Vilas County are greatly opposed to ATVs and the ATV-proposed route system. I found that very disturbing since the word on the street was quite the opposite. So, I did a little checking and here is what I found: 1) A letter dated 4-15-11 from the St. Germain Chamber of Commerce to its chamber executive/business owners stating: We are just one of the few counties in Wisconsin that do not support this sport (ATVs), and based on Department of Tourism numbers generated back in 2003, we are really missing the boat in terms of revenue that heads to all our surrounding counties, but never stops here in Vilas. We are dying a slow death without some additional sources of revenue, revenue that can be generated by the 275,000 already registered ATV owners just in the state of Wisconsin alone, far more than the number of registered snowmobiles! Our elected Vilas County and town officials need to recognize the fact that if we do not do something and soon they will have very little in the county to manage. 2) I found out that the results of a recent Vilas County News-Review website survey taken April 26 through May 10 asking the question, Do you think ATV routes should be developed here to boost tourism? were never published in the newspaper. So, here are the results: 1,154 respondents with 58.5% being in favor of the route system. 3) I found a huge binder in the Vilas County clerks office in the Vilas County Courthouse titled Written Citizen Feedback on ATV Route Issue Spring 2011. The contents of the binder are written responses from citizens concerning the ATV issue and are divided into two sections: those in support of ATV routes and those against ATV routes. So, here are the results as of 6-3011 . . . 280 letters of support and 38 letters against! This binder is public information for anyone to view. Go take a look and see who the 38 people are who are trying so hard to derail such a great tool, if made available, would have such a positive impact on our community. Expressed another way, this is almost a 7.4-1 ratio in favor of ATV routes or 86% for and 14% against! Sounds to me, with real documented facts, that the word on the street is far more correct than the perception in the paper. To the best of my knowledge, no one has approached the Vilas County News-Review with these figures to be published. Peter Walls Conover

Disappointed in Focus on Energy cut

Dear Editor: I am extremely disappointed by the governor and Legislature leaders for cutting the energy-efficiency program Focus on Energy in the recent budget. My business works with homeowners to save money on their energy bills by reducing energy use, and I have seen firsthand the success of this program. At first glance, it might seem that this is just another example of cutting programs to balance a tough budget, but that is just not the case. Contrary to what the public may think, Focus on Energy dollars never touch the states coffers, as the program is funded by utilities. Cutting the funding, as set forth in the budget language, does nothing to balance the budget. Rather it fluffs up the numbers to make it seem the governors budget reduces deficit spending without raising taxes. The funding that was cut from the program would have created 7,000 to 9,000 jobs and saved up to $350 million per year on energy bills, this according to an independent study by the Energy Center of Wisconsin. And, by helping us avoid the need to build new power plants and transmission lines, Focus on Energy also plays an important role in keeping energy bills down for all of Wisconsinites, which should be top priority in these economically constrained times. The decision to cut Focus on Energy funding is particularly thoughtless and certainly bears further scrutiny. The governor and his people made a promise to program representatives to give this issue further thought prior to signing the budget. I hope the Legislature will work toward a compromise so the people of Wisconsin can continue to enjoy the proven savings the Focus on Energy program provides. Timothy Reeder Crandon
Many things make this country great

Letter to the Editor: Friends, it is still a great day in America. We should not lose sight of so many things that made this country great. As we celebrate this week the birth of the greatest nation on Earth, and give credit to whom credit is due, which is our Creator and Savior who we still honor and ask his blessing. May we turn from the mistakes weve made so that God may heal our nation. Secondly, I dont believe it was and is by mistake that, from our founding fathers through today, great people have stood up to accept roles in preserving the freedoms that we too often take for granted and sometimes misinterpret. Third, what other nation in history has sent so many to pay the ultimate sacrifice of their lives for their brother so that they might have what we enjoy, and keep the republic we hold dear. History is being made 234 years later. Were bucking the odds where other societies, yet great in their own, have failed. One big difference: In God we trust. Sincerely, Jeff Kirschmann Eagle River

Hughes named honorary survivor for this years Relay For Life
___________
Trees are amazing

There is nothing like a weeping willow tree. Some people think they are dirty because they drop branches and leaves and their roots get twisted around water pipes or break up the foundations. They can grow up to 10 feet a year with roots spreading out to a distance equal to their 35-foot height. The weeping willow is a lovely tree. But then, I am a tree nut. A neighbor had a 50-foot tree cut down because it was dirty. She said it dropped branches and leaves all over the ground. I offered to clean those up but down came the tree. Someday I plan to visit the Sequoia trees. To see a 350-foot tree with a trunk that measures 36 feet in diameter would be thrilling. Joyce Kilmer was right when he said, I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. On a trip to Florida, Bill and I stood beneath a 600-year-old live oak tree. It took our breath away. The Angel Oak on Johns Island, S.C., is about 1,500 years old with a diameter spread of 160 feet that covers 17,100 square feet of ground. We can go from one extreme to the other and admire bonsai trees, especially the maple as they change colors with the seasons. When I was a kid in Park Forest, Ill., the suburb where I grew up, all the trees were newly planted leafless sticks except for a small stand three blocks away.

Eunice Hughes of Land O Lakes has been named the honorary survivor for this years Northwoods Relay For Life in Eagle River. Hughes, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004, was nominated by her granddaughter, Lauren Hughes of Eagle River. When asked if she knew why she was chosen, she commented that there are not very many pancreatic cancer survivors. She shared that only 5% survive for more than five years. She said she felt that the letter submitted by her granddaughter was very inspirational and instrumental in her selection. Hughes, her husband, Dick, and their children made Land O Lakes their seasonal home in 1974, operating Dari-Maid. She would make the trip north from Waukesha each May. Her husband would follow when he completed his teaching duties
and the school year was done. The Hugheses made Land O Lakes their permanent home in 1990, when Dick Hughes retired from his teaching career. While the couple enjoy winters in the North Woods, by February or March they would be ready to head south. It was while they were camping in Gulf Shores, Ala., that her husband noticed that Hughes eyes seemed yellow. Beyond that, she had been a little queasy for a couple of weeks, but thought nothing of it. They called their son, Kent, who is a physician in Dallas, Texas. He immediately recommended she go to a hospital for tests. It was then that she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My first word was wow! and I felt like someone had hit me across the head with a two-by-four, was her reaction To SURVIVOR, Pg. 2B

beneath those trees. It was like being in a gigantic forest though there were probably not more than 100 trees in the cluster. How sad I was when they were cut down so a bank could be built. Trees inspire, provide shade, beauty, fruit and wood. In 1987, Bill and I planted 1,500 pine trees on the land we then owned. Those trees are now more than 20 feet tall. Find a tree, sit beneath it, feel its sap running if you can. Hug it, write a poem about it, take a child to see it and tell them how the roots of a tree reflect the height and width of the tree and how trees sustain us with their beauty and products. What a gift you will give that child, a gift of life for life. Why not help him or her plant a tree?

One day as I drove past our old home, I felt tears rolling down my face when I saw that the new owner had cut down the amazing pine trees that were in the yard. I learned later that he wanted more grass. How very sad. I watched one of those grow from 5 feet tall to well over 30 feet tall. It was lovely. Grass we can live without, but we must have trees.

when she first got the news. Next, she asked the doctor what she should do. He recommended some salve to alleviate her queasiness. Stating that shes a person of strong faith, she remembered, I stood there and all I could think of was that song, Is That All There Is? She immediately called her sons, Keith of Eagle River and Kent. After calming her down, her son Kent made arrangements for her to go to a hospital in Dallas. She and her husband flew to Dallas where she had surgery after 10 days. She then went to her sons ranch in Texas to recuperate. It was then recommended that she return to her home in Wisconsin to be in familiar surroundings. She commented on her very supportive family and friends. One friend raked their yard, while another put away all of their Christmas decorations prior to their return to the North Woods. She received both chemotherapy and radiation treatments from May to October 2004 in Rhinelander while being treated by Dr. Patel and was very happy with the care she received. I had an easy time, she said. I would put the chemo pack on my back and head to the golf course. She quipped with the doctors about patenting her idea, as the pack made her hold still, causing improvement to her golf swing. The chemotherapy treatment was given to her through the pack 24 hours a day, seven days a week. She recalls that the only time it seemed inconvenient was during quiet moments in church when the hum of the machines motor could be heard by others. Last fall, an exam revealed that her liver enzymes were off. The cause was determined to be damage to her bile duct during radiation treatments. They told me this is going to come back and I said, Well Im not sitting around waiting for it! she declared. I never stopped, she reflected. I felt that you can sit and feel sorry for yourself and people are not going to feel sorry for you. So you are in this boat all by yourself, so I thought, Whats the purpose of this? I enjoy life and I love life! she exclaimed, while anxious to head out in her kayak. Keep a positive attitude, be aggressive. Thats the message I want to get across to everybody, said Hughes. Its your body and youve got to be concerned about it. I want to encourage everyone to do an extra lap during the relay. Push yourself, do one for the nonsurvivors! she said. Hughes, who has participated in Northwoods Relay For Life along with her daughter who has had breast cancer, will be part of the T.J. Grizzlies team this year. The team is headed up by her granddaughter, Lauren. This years tips collected at DariMaid all will be donated to Relay For Life, according to Hughes. She also coordinated this years Rally For the Cure golf outing in Land O Lakes. Relay For Life event chairwoman Donna Martens stated, Eunice Hughes is an inspiration to survivors as she can speak from experience. She is an amazing woman who has survived one of the deadliest cancers there are, pancreatic cancer. She is a wonderful advocate for the Relay For Life as she tells everyone who will listen how important it is to raise funds in order to find a cure. She will lead all survivors at the 12th annual Northwoods Relay For Life in their victory lap, added Martens. Approximately 200 survivors are expected at this years relay and it is not too late to register. To register, contact Theresa Sullivan at First National Bank at (715) 479-4406.

Artist to present works at faerie festival July 30

Artist and photographer Barbara Stephan will be a feature presenter at the third annual Woodland Enchantment Faerie Festival Saturday, July 30, in Three Lakes. Stephan uses digital photography with minimal editing to capture faces and images found in nature. She grew up in a small rural Wisconsin town and said she was spellbound by the fantasy works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Madeleine LEngle, among many others. When she first began to see faces in the trees and woods, it was like a floodgate had been opened, said Stephan. Much to her delight, she said the more she looked, the more detailed faces reminiscent of creatures from fairytales and folklore she was able to find.

Student Representative Report to the Board Taylor Krings reported: Yearbook just came out Robotics team won 3rd place Taylor Krings, Student representative, will begin having a meeting during resource so students can come and give her suggestions on items of interest to them Memory Project Beverly Niehaus, Middle School Art teacher, reported that Ben Schumacher, a resident of St. Germain, had an idea for a service learning project. Schumachers idea was that high school and college level art students would receive pictures of children living in orphanages around the world and the students would then draw a portrait of the child from the picture, sign it, and send it back to the child. That way these children would have a keepsake from their childhood, since most of them have nothing of their own. Since Schumacher began the program back in 2004, there have been 25,000 children in orphanages around the world who have received portraits of themselves drawn by high school or college level student artists. The website for this is www.thememoryproject.org Northland Pines was asked to do five portraits and one of our Seniors, Caitlyn Hook, did all five of them. The orphans that Caitlyn was drawing portraits of were all from Peru. They sent her their picture and Caitlyn is working on the portraits of these children; she will sign the back of the portrait as the artist and the portraits will be sent back to the orphanage to be given to these children. Caitlyn has almost completed the five portraits; she passed them around for board members to see and they were fantastic drawings of the children. The Board of Education commended both Bev Niehaus and Caitlyn Hook for participating in this extremely kind service learning project. German Trip Frau Christina Peters, German Teacher, and Dave Strong (Chaperone for the trip) showed the Board a short picture slideshow of their trip to Germany. Four of the students who went on the trip were also in attendance and thanked the Board for the trip of a lifetime. Christina Peters commended all of the students who went on the trip, noting that their behavior during the entire trip was exemplary and they ended up being the leaders of the trip as many other students from other districts were on the trip as well. Peters said NPSD students immersed themselves in the culture, used their German language fluently, and positively guided students from other districts on the trip. The Northland Pines German trip students represented themselves, our school and community extremely well and they set a high standard for future students going on this fabulous trip.

The 14th annual Picnic in the Park, a chicken and rib barbecue sponsored by Northwoods Living Care Foundation (NLCF) for the benefit of the town of Phelps volunteer ambulance service, will be held Tuesday, Aug. 9, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Wavering Park in Phelps. The previous 13 events have generated $128,733 for the ambulance and team of volunteer emergency medical technicians (EMTs), according to Cathy Grady, president of the NLCF. We hope the folks in our area will join us again to help us make certain our ambulance service has available the funds needed to provide this vital emergency help, said Grady. Approximately a year ago, we had to buy a new ambulance at a cost of $130,727. Of that amount, the town of Phelps paid $80,000 and the Northwoods Living Care Foundation, by reason of the monies raised from our annual Picnic in the Park, was able to contribute $50,727 toward the total cost of our new ambulance. In 2002, the town purchased a new ambulance for $96,205 and, of that total, the fundraising event was able to contribute $45,053 bringing NLCFs contributions toward the purchases of the last two ambulances to $95,780. You can readily see how important Picnic in the Park is to continually provide top-quality emergency service to our area residents, said Grady. Tickets to the event, if purchased in advance, are $15 for adults and $6 for children 10 and younger. Tickets purchased at Wavering Park on the day of the event are $17 for adults and $7 for children. Tickets to Picnic in the Park can be purchased in Phelps at First National Bank, Phelps Convenience Center, Village Barber Shop, Sand Lake Pub, the Big Sand Lake Club and from all emergency medical technicians. Once again, Barry Mohr, owner of Phelps Convenience Center, will donate to the ambulance fund $5 for every ticket purchased at the Convenience Center. Carole Selin, director of the Phelps emergency medical technicians since 2004, said the picnic is the ambulance services biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. We hope the folks in our area, including our summer residents who have homes on Sand Lake, Long Lake and Big Twin Lake and anywhere else in the North Woods, will join us again to make Picnic in the Park another successful fundraiser, said Selin.
Lions schedule Steak in the Park

The Phelps Lions Club will host its 15th annual Steak in the Park picnic Wednesday, July 20, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Wavering Park in Phelps. Tickets will cost $16 in advance or $18 at the event and will include cooked-to-order filet mignon, baked potato, salad, roll and dessert. There also will be live entertainment. Proceeds from the event will fund local scholarships, the Headwaters Food Pantry and various local charities. Tickets are available from Phelps businesses and Lions Club members. For more information, call Mike at (715) 891-1025.

In addition to Selin, 13 other residents are volunteer EMTs. They include Geraldine Arlt, Laurinda Boone, Anthony Campion, Brian Galek, Dawn Grmick, Kathy Regenfuss, Damian Seals, Jesica Volkmann, Jeanne Brown, Norman Mesun, Laura Myszka, Michael Myszka and Christine Riihimaki. We are especially proud of all of our volunteers, said Selin. Twelve months a year, 24 hours a day, they are ready to respond to a call for help. Last year, our EMTs responded to 198 calls for an ambulance. For each of the last 13 years, Picnic in the Park has served more than 650 chicken and rib dinners, according to Grady. We like to think we serve the best barbecued chicken and rib dinner in the North Woods, a lot of which is due to our major benefactor, Greg Cousins of Smoky Lake and his group of volunteer chefs who include Chip Shotwell, Jeff Kinner, Don VanderBlomen, Andy Regenfuss, Charles and Lester Frankenthal and Frank Volkmann, said Grady. Greg not only supplies all of the chicken and ribs, but he also prepares all of the barbecue sauce in his own kitchen at Smoky Lake. Grady said the picnic is truly a community event.
The whole area participates, she said. The womens clubs of Phelps Congregational Church, St. Marys Catholic Church, St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church and Twin Lakes Bible Church, along with the Phelps Womens Club, American Legion Auxiliary and Big Sand Lake Club, all pitch in to donate and serve the desserts and fruit that are part of our menu. The Picnic in the Park is considered by many to be the social highlight of the summer in Phelps, said Grady. From the beginning, we have made every effort to make this an all-family affair, one that the kids can enjoy, she said. This year, we will once again have Reba Mabie of Boulder Junction to perform as Tutu Cute the Clown. Reba entertains the kids with her face painting and special balloon creations. In addition, Great Lakes Climbing will offer for the children a bungee jumper, a climbing wall, an obstacle course and other fun games. The event also will conduct a raffle. The raffle offers six cash prizes of $500 and one cash prize of $250. Raffle tickets are available for $2 per ticket or three for $5 and can be purchased at all Phelps business establishments and from all EMTs.

P.O. Box 450 715-547-6006
Land O Lakes Public Library, with the support of Conserve School, will present a juggling extravaganza by Truly Remarkable Loon, called Read Books and Juggle Everything Else Wednesday, July 20, at 10 a.m. at the library. Fifty-four-year-old T.R. Loon was raised in Madison. He changed his name to Truly Remarkable Loon when no one could pronounce his German name. I havent had a real job since the 1980s, Loon said. He took on juggling in
1976, when he saw a juggler tossing flaming torches in the air. He remembers saying to himself, I will learn how to do that, and three months later, he juggled flaming torches for the first time. Jack Mozenter will lead a basic investment program Tuesday, July 19, at 1 p.m. at the library. For more information, call (715) 547-6006 or stop by the library to pick up a brochure listing all summer programs.
