Following a drop in equal-
ized property values for the
second straight year, tax rates
on bills that were payable in
2011 increased significantly
in many municipalities here, a
new report shows.
Wisconsin Department of
Revenue (DOR) figures show
that in 19 towns and cities
here, property tax rates rose
an average of 6.3% on bills
mailed in December 2010.
The rate of increase ranged
from highs of 12.8% in Three
Lakes and 12.5% in Sugar
Camp to lows of minus 1% in
Phelps and 1.5% in St. Ger-
main.
The towns of Three Lakes
and Sugar Camp saw the
greatest percent of increase
due to the school district pass-
ing a referendum to exceed
the revenue limit in the fall of
2009. The levy and tax rate
increase didnt show up until
the 2010 tax bills that were
payable in 2011.
Last year, Three Lakes and
Sugar Camp were on the low
end, with tax rate increases of
1.8% and 1.5%, respectively.
Last year, near-double-digit
tax rate increases were seen
in towns such as Lincoln,
Washington, Conover, Plum
Lake, Cloverland, St. Germain
and Land O Lakes all part
of the Northland Pines School
District which passed a refer-
endum to exceed the revenue
limit in the previous year.
This year, Lincoln, Wash-
ington, Conover, Cloverland,
Plum Lake and Land O Lakes
all saw increases in the 4.0%
to 4.8% range. St. Germain
saw its equalized tax rate
increase slightly at 1.5%.
The equalized tax rate
increase wasnt surprising, as
the state released equalized
Property tax rates increase
in most municipalities here

A draft ordinance on imple-
menting Wisconsins new con-
cealed carry legislation in the
city of Eagle River was dis-
cussed at the City Council
meeting last week.
Police Chief Mark Vander
Bloomen told the council that
anyone with a license to carry
a concealed weapon under the
new state legislation, which
takes effect in about six
weeks, will be able to carry a
firearm in a public place
unless there are restrictions
in place.
As a municipality, you can
have an ordinance prohibiting
concealed carry in public
buildings such as city hall,
courthouse, library and air-
port and any business open to
the public where it is prohibit-
ed by signs, he explained.
Meanwhile, Vander Bloom-
en told the council that con-
trary to a long-held belief, the
discharge of firearms within
city limits was actually legal
except for a short period in
November.
There is a common mis-
conception that presently the
ordinance prohibits the dis-
charge of a firearm within the
city limits . . . is simply not the
case, said Vander Bloomen.
The way the ordinance is
written, the only time you
cannot discharge a firearm in
the city is during deer season,
with three days tacked onto
City Council works
on draft ordinance
for concealed carry

A 40-page analysis of a Safe
Route to Schools plan for the
Northland Pines campus on
Pleasure Island Road has defi-
ciencies, city administrator
Joe Laux told the Eagle River
City Council last week.
The analysis was designed
to look at safety issues con-
cerning people traveling to
and from the Northland Pines
schools on the citys north
side.
School and city officials
want to improve the safety for
people traveling in vehicles, on
bikes or walking to and from
the schools.
The consulting engineer
seems to be suggesting signifi-
cant capital expense be borne
by the city taxpayers, includ-
ing repairing the state high-
way bridge over the Eagle Riv-
er, said Laux. I am not in
agreement with this analysis
and will be attending a future
meeting to express the capital
and operational costs for this
project.
Laux said his main issue is
who is responsible for the pro-
ject and the lack of the Wis-
consin Department of Trans-
portation (DOT) in the analy-
sis.
The DOT built the bridge
and Highway 45, noted Laux.
Another safety concern is
Pleasure Island Road, accord-
ing to Chief Vander Bloomen,
even though it is a one-way
road north to the elementary
school, middle school and high
school.
We constantly have prob-
lems with people going the
wrong way, especially with the
sales lot on the corner of
Highway 45 and Pleasure
Island, he observed. Painting
a white line and saying its a
bike lane is not safe at all.
Laux indicated the road
needs a major upgrade and
probably should have been
completed when the new high
school was completed several
years ago.
If a site plan would have
come to us, (but) the district
never approached us. We were
not part of the building refer-
endum, Laux lamented.
Its a could have, should
have, would have and they
didnt, Vander Bloomen
added.
There should be a jurisdic-
tional transfer (of Pleasure
Island Road) to the school dis-
trict, Laux suggested. Then
they can do whatever they
want to.
Vander Bloomen, who is
also on the Northland Pines
school board, suggested I will
talk to Joe on how much the
city would pay the district to
take it over.
Golf course report
Alderwoman Carol Hen-
dricks, who chairs the city Golf
Course Advisory Committee,
provided a verbal report to the
council on the lack of recom-
mendations from the subtask
force she asked to be formed.
Im in a quandary, Hen-
dricks started out saying. I
requested the task force to
study various setups for
administration and that was
not done.
Last May, when Hendricks
asked to form the task force,
she indicated it was to
increase revenues to con-
tribute more for budget relief
for taxpayers. In July, Hen-
dricks stated it (the task
force) was not going in the
direction I wanted it to.
Meanwhile, Councilman
Jerry Burkett chaired the task
force for two meetings, then
resigned.
Hendricks suggested a
meeting of the city council
devoted to the golf course,
with part of it in closed ses-
sion, because the council has
no understanding of the
underlying problems. She did
not reveal what the underly-
ing problems were.
Set it up, said Burkett. I
resigned as chairman. I was
not comfortable in my posi-
tion. If it (the task force) was
appointed by the city council
and the mayor appointed me
as chairman, I would make a
report. There were comments
about the task force that
needs to be taken up by the
council and committee. I
talked around, and our course
is outperforming all of them. If
were going to make recom-
mendations that affect peo-
ples lives, we need an expert.
Other business
In other business, the
council:
accepted the recommen-
dations of the Plan Commis-
sion to eliminate the number
of dogs and cats a residence
may have in the city limits;
approved the purchase of
a Toro fairway mower for
$33,905 for the golf course;
changed an ordinance to
allow electronic message signs
to include freestanding signs.
Safe route plan
has deficiencies,

either side of it.
He said the old ordinance
was designed to keep people
from hunting deer in the city
during the gun deer season in
November.
Obviously, this was not
what was intended, but rather
it is to be all year long, he
went on to say.
Vander Bloomen and city
attorney Steve Garbowicz gave
this scenario in a memo:
Presently, you could bow hunt
or gun hunt from a tree stand
in your backyard at the inter-
section of Third and Spruce
streets if you want to anytime
of the year, except during the
state firearm deer season.
New ordinance
With the old ordinance out-
dated and the new concealed
carry legislation to take effect
just around the corner, the City
Council looked at a first draft
of a firearm ordinance for the
city last week.
It would prohibit the dis-
charge of firearms includ-
ing black-powder rifles, pistols
and shotguns within the
city limits at any time during
the year.
The ordinance also would
require the transport of any
firearm within the corporate
limits in a vehicle to be unload-
ed and completely enclosed
within a carrying case, unless
the person lawfully possesses a
license to carry a concealed
weapon as defined and autho-
rized under Wisconsin law.
The draft ordinance also
states that concealed carry and
openly displayed weapons
would not be allowed inside a
public building or place of busi-
ness where a prominently dis-
played sign lawfully prohibits
the carrying of an openly dis-
played or concealed weapon in
accordance with state and fed-
eral law.
The ordinance would allow
exceptions for law enforcement
officers and removal of wildlife
hazards at the airport as
authorized and permitted by
government authorities.
An exception also would be
made for throwing or shooting
any object, arrow, stone, snow-
ball or other missile or projec-
tile for the purpose of whitetail
deer abatement by the city and
for legitimate organized sport-
ing events.
About the law
Wisconsin became the 49th
state to legalize the carrying of
concealed weapons when Gov.
Scott Walker signed a bill in
July removing the states ban.
The law goes into effect Nov 1.
Gun supporters said legaliz-
ing concealed carry in Wiscon-
sin has been long overdue,
while opponents argued that it
won't curb crime and will put
more guns on the street.
Under Wisconsins law, peo-
ple who obtain a permit and go
through training will be
allowed to carry concealed
weapons in most public build-
ings, unless a sign is posted
saying they are not permitted.
With the legalization in
Wisconsin, Illinois is now the
only state that doesnt allow
concealed carry.

Tax rates: FROM PAGE 1A
values in August that dropped
for the second straight year
in sharp contrast to years of
double-digit increases caused
by both inflation and a con-
struction boom.
Officials said there is des-
tined to be another tax rate
increase next year after the
recently announced decline in
equalized property values for
the third year in a row.
The annual mid-August
report from the DOR showed
equalized property values
dropped 2.8% in Vilas and 5%
in Oneida the figures that
will be used for the December
2011 tax bills payable in 2012.
Some municipalities took
bigger property-value hits
than others. In the Northland
Pines School District, valua-
tion dropped 9.2% in Wash-
ington, 8.8% in Eagle River
and 7.4% in Cloverland
which is likely to equate to a
larger increase in the tax rate
next year. In Three Lakes,
property values dropped less
at 2.1%, while Sugar Camp
increased 3.5%.
DOR officials said anytime
government spending rises at
a faster rate than property
values (the tax base), the
equalized tax rates will
increase.
Stephanie Marquis, com-
munications director for the
DOR, said the tax rate is sim-
ply the total levies set by var-
ious taxing districts divided
by the equalized valuation.
State officials also said
that, generally, it is the rela-
tionship between levy increas-
es and the amount of new con-
struction that dictates
whether property tax bills
rise or fall.
The amount of new con-
struction in 2009 (part of the
2010 tax base) plummeted
from previous years, totaling
$32 million in Vilas and $33
million in Oneida. In Vilas,
the number was $51.5 million
in 2008 and Oneida showed
$59 million in new construc-
tion in 2008.
Local tax bills
Officials say equalized val-
ues and equalized tax rates
are only useful for comparing
general tax base health and
spending habits between
municipalities.
The equalized values are
used by the taxing jurisdic-
tions (school districts, coun-
ties, towns, cities and techni-
cal colleges) to apportion their
tax levies among municipali-
ties.
The tax rate is the rate
necessary to raise sufficient
money from the property tax
to meet the levy, said the
DOR Guide for Property Own-
ers. The tax rate is deter-
mined by dividing the total
assessment of a district into
the levy. It is often expressed
in terms of dollars per thou-
sand.
When equalized values
change in a municipality at a
higher or lower rate than the
average, it can change the
percentage of county or school
district taxes that are appor-
tioned to the municipality.
Whether its an increase or
decrease, the distribution of
that change is determined by
the local assessment rolls,
according to the DOR guide.
Todays tax rate increases
are historically low, however,
due to state revenue limits on
school districts and munici-
palities. Schools are limited to
a 3.8% levy increase unless
the limit is exceeded by voter
approval at referendum. In
2011, municipal and county
levy increases were limited to
the lesser of 3% above the pri-
or years levy or the percent-
age of growth in new con-
struction. Technical college
tax levies are subject to a rate
limit of $1.50 per $1,000 of
equalized (estimated fair mar-
ket value).
State officials point out
that the DOR certifies equal-
ized values for each munici-
pality every year by class of
property, but they dont set
values on individual proper-
ties.
While the DOR dictates
what the total value of resi-
dential properties is in a
town, your local municipal
assessor determines the prop-
erty value and then reports
the values to our agency, said
Marquis.
The most confusing part for
property owners is between
equalized values and assessed
values. Officials say compar-
isons between municipalities
can only be made using equal-
ized values and equalized tax
rates, which are based on fair
market values.

Michigan Chapter included Eagle River in its fall
tour of the Upper Peninsula. Roger Tyyska of
Ontonagon, Mich., stands behind a 1940 Super

old depot to take in the museum as well as the

State officials said that the
smoke that moved across many
regions of Wisconsin several
days last week was from a
wildfire burning in northern
Minnesota.
The Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources (DNR)
and Department of Health Ser-
vices (DHS) received numerous
calls from local health depart-
ments and citizens in large por-
tions of Wisconsin about heavy
smoke odors, ash and concerns
about smoke inhalation.
The smoke was from the
Pagami Creek Fire, which was
burning about 15 miles east of
Ely, Minn., in the Boundary
Waters Canoe Area Wilder-
ness. As of Monday, officials
said the fire has burned about
100,000 acres and is 19% con-
tained. The fire started Aug. 18
from a lightning strike.
The smoke was carried
across northern Wisconsin and
other parts of the state due to
strong northwest winds last
week.
The DHS, DNR and local
health departments monitored
data coming in hourly as well
as meteorological conditions to
see how the smoke might
impact Wisconsin residents.
In healthy people, the DHS
said symptoms of smoke expo-
sure usually include irritation
of eyes, nose and throat, or
breathing discomfort and more
severe symptoms may include
chest tightness, wheezing,
shortness of breath and cough-
ing. Smoke exposure, even from
temporary peaks in fine parti-
cles, can aggravate chronic
lung or cardiovascular disease.
Depending on concentra-
tions and an individuals sensi-
tivity to smoke, the DHS said
actions to take include remain-
ing indoors with the doors and
windows closed, using a high-
efficiency particulate air filter
on air conditioners, reducing
other sources of indoor air pol-
lution such as smoking
cigarettes and leaving the area
if an individual has particular
sensitivity.
State officials said people
should continue to follow all
precautions and instructions
given by local health and gov-
ernmental departments should
a northwest wind bring more
smoke to Wisconsin.

NOTICE OF BOARD OF REVIEW
TOWN OF CLOVERLAND
SEPT. 29, 2011 4-6 P.M.
The town of Cloverland will hold the Board of Review on
Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011, from 4 to 6 p.m. The assessor will be at
the town hall prior to the board, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., to answer
any questions and have the assessment roll available to the public.
Objection forms are available from the clerk, and must be complet-
ed prior to appearing before the Board, at (715) 479-2392.
Millie Ritzer, Clerk 1783
The Government Account-
ability Board (GAB) reaf-
firmed at a recent meeting the
practice allowed by state law
for recall committees to sub-
mit petition pages that contain
a single signature and are also
circulated by the signer.
The board also recognized
that a recall petition could be
printed from the website of a
recall committee with the
signers address pre-populat-
ed.
The GAB received a num-
ber of inquiries about single-
signature recall petitions as
well as making recall petitions
available on a website to be
printed out and then circulat-
ed. The board found that state
law does not contain any pro-
hibition on these practices,
which were followed in the
recent recall elections.
In the recent state Senate
recalls, the board received
many single-signature peti-
tions from committees work-
ing to recall members of both
parties, said Kevin J.
Kennedy, director and general
counsel of the GAB. People
downloaded them from the
Internet, filled them out and
signed them, and turned them
in to the recall committees,
which filed them along with
other recall petitions.
The GAB does not accept
recall petitions directly from
individuals. They must be col-
lected by the recall committees
and offered for filing at the
same time within the 60-day
time period as required by
state law.

Helicopter crews will begin
the annual patrolling of Ameri-
can Transmission Co. (ATC)
electric transmission lines this
week to look for damage, right-
of-way encroachments and veg-
etation issues.
ATC contracted the services
of Chemair Helicopters of Jef-
ferson. Crews will patrol the
transmission system in Bell
206B Jet Ranger helicopters.
Weather permitting, crews will
follow the general timeline
below to inspect lines within
the ATC service area: mid-
September, early October,
northern and central Wiscon-
sin; late September, early Octo-
ber, the Upper Peninsula (UP)
of Michigan; late September,
early October, southern and
central Wisconsin; and Novem-
ber, the Madison area.
ATC conducts helicopter
patrols two or three times a
year to detect potential prob-
lems that can be corrected to
avoid unplanned power out-
ages.
Many of ATCs 9,440 miles
of transmission lines are locat-
ed in relatively remote areas of
Wisconsin and the UP, and it is
difficult and time-consuming
for crews to reach these areas
by vehicle or on foot.
Aerial inspections allow
crews to reach secluded or diffi-
cult-to-reach lines and identify
potential problems such as
damaged lines or insulators, or
tree limbs that could fall, dam-
age equipment and cause pow-
er outages.
Crews will inspect the lines
by flying approximately 10 feet
above the wires, and they will
avoid flying over livestock
where possible. The schedule
may vary due to weather and
the need to work around the
gun deer hunting season in
late November.

BOULDER JUNCTION
The Vilas County Sheriff s
Department is seeking infor-
mation relating to an appar-
ent hit-and-run accident that
injured a man in Boulder
Junction Sunday night,
according to a sheriff s depart-
ment press release.
At approximately 9:15 p.m.
Sept. 18, deputies responded
to a report of an accident with
injuries on Highway M just
north of Boulder Junction.
The pedestrian, James Beste,
54, of Colgate was injured in
the accident.
The vehicle involved in the
accident was unidentified,
according to the sheriff s
department.
Beste was transported to
Howard Young Medical Cen-
ter in Woodruff and was sub-
sequently transferred to
Wausau Hospital Center,
where he is currently being
treated for head injuries,
according to the press
release.
Anyone having information
relating to the accident should
call the sheriff s office at 1-
(800) 472-7290 or the WeTip
Hotline at 1-(800) 782-7463.
The incident remains

The Vilas County Public
Health Department has con-
firmed that a dead blue jay
found in Vilas County Aug. 29
has tested positive for West
Nile virus.
This is the second bird test-
ing positive for West Nile virus
in Vilas County since surveil-
lance for the mosquito-trans-
mitted virus began May 1.
The positive bird means
that residents of Vilas County
need to be more vigilant in
their personal protective mea-
sures to prevent mosquito
bites, said Gina Egan, Vilas
County health officer and pub-
lic health director.
West Nile virus is spread to
humans through the bite of an
infected mosquito, according to
Egan, who said mosquitoes get
the virus by feeding on infected
birds.
Vilas County residents
should be aware of West Nile
virus and take some simple
steps to protect themselves
against mosquito bites, Egan
said. The West Nile virus
seems to be here to stay, so the
best way to avoid the disease is
to reduce exposure to and elim-
inate breeding grounds for
mosquitoes.
The Vilas County Health
Department recommends the
following:
Limit time spent outside
at dawn and dusk, when
mosquitoes are most active.
Apply insect repellent to
clothing as well as exposed
skin since mosquitoes may bite
through clothing.
Make sure window and
door screens are in good repair
to prevent mosquito entry.
Properly dispose of items
that hold water, such as tin
cans, plastic containers, ceram-
ic pots or discarded tires.
Clean roof gutters and
downspouts for proper
drainage.
Turn over wheelbarrows,
wading pools, boats and canoes
when not in use.
Change the water in bird-
baths and pet dishes at least
every three days.
Clean and chlorinate
swimming pools, outdoor
saunas, and hot tubs; drain
water from pool covers.
Trim tall grass, weeds,
and vines since mosquitoes use
these areas to rest during hot
daylight hours.
Landscape to prevent
water from pooling in low-lying
areas.
Egan noted that the majori-
ty of people (80%) who are
infected with West Nile virus
do not get sick.
Those who do become ill
usually experience mild symp-
toms such as fever, headache or
rash, she said.
Less than 1% of people
infected with the virus get seri-
ously ill, according to Egan.
Older adults (age 50 and
older) and those with compro-
mised immune systems are at
greater risk of developing
severe disease, she said.
The Department of Health
Services has monitored the
spread of West Nile virus since
2001 among wild birds, horses,
mosquitoes and people. In
2010, there were two human
cases of West Nile virus in Wis-
consin.
Blue jay found tests positive for West Nile

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21, 2011 VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS 9A
FROST WAS covering a mix of
green and brown ferns as we
opened the 2011 ruffed grouse
season just after dawn last Satur-
day, the scribbler following the
nose of his 1-year-old black Lab
named Gracie.
After an unproductive first stop
on a system of trails, I decided to
head for a young aspen cutting in
the Chequamegon-Nicolet Nation-
al Forest to beat the brush along
various swamp and pine planta-
tion edges.
Some of the ferns were chest-
high and they often hid a tangle
of fallen trees that made for great
tripping material. Theres nothing
easy about going cross country in
mid-September, but then, thats
often where you find the birds
even if you cant always see them
on the flush.
Two hours and what seemed
like several miles into the walk,
we finally flushed a grouse. I
managed to get one shot off before
losing sight of it in the heavy cov-
er. Gracie won some praise after
showing up with the wounded
bird moments later, and we were
suddenly on the board for another
season. The youngster has appar-
ently lost nothing from her grand
first season.
We followed long stretches of
edge where the aspen met marsh-
es and potholes, and some of the
steep slopes looked mighty
promising. But there were no
more birds until we broke out of
the aspen and into an old planta-
tion that harbored scattered, tow-
ering pines. A bird flushed from
the ferns and dropped seconds lat-
er to a blast from the 20-gauge.
As we worked up that
aspen/pine edge, little did we
know some magic was about to
occur. Another grouse flushed and
the sounds of others getting up
were really distracting, though I
managed to get a piece of it. Grace
ran it down. It looked like nothing
more than a wing hit.
There was a nice covey of
young grouse there, maybe
five or six more, and we
turned in another direction.
The decision was to let them
grow and hopefully to avoid
shooting the hen for she is
next years hope. Im sure well
make it back there in October.
With a 43% increase in spring
drumming activity, the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources says
the population cycle didnt peak in
2009 and is still headed upward.
Our opening morning find was
encouraging. If most successful
broods are holding seven or eight
birds, the numbers will grow.
Gracie and I finished the day
with three grouse and we shot a
couple more Sunday for what
turned out to be a great opener. I
never expect much in the heavy
foliage of September, which is
basically for getting in shape and
finding pockets of birds for later
outings.
Another piece of good news is
that the young aspen was already
holding decent numbers of wood-
cock, which must be local birds
because its too early for the fall
migration. The long-beaked tim-
berdoodle is a favorite among
many grouse hunters, adding
additional action for the dog, the
shotgun and the frying pan.
The credit for todays success in
maintaining habitat for the ruffed
grouse and American woodcock
goes to hunters and public forest
managers who understand the
importance of diversity in man-
agement, including clear-cutting
and the regeneration of young for-
est types.
It is just one of the conserva-
tion success stories we will cele-
brate this Saturday, Sept. 24, dur-
ing National Hunting and Fishing
Day. The truth be told, it is
hunters and anglers who provide
the necessary funding for man-
agement, habitat work and
enforcement of state game laws.
Millions of dollars in revenue is
raised each year through excise
taxes that hunters and anglers
pay every time they purchase cer-
tain equipment. And thats just
part of the story, for hunters and
anglers are the driving force
behind the success of conservation
groups such as Ducks Unlimited,
Ruffed Grouse Society, Trout
Unlimited and Muskies Inc.
If you fish and hunt, please
take a close look at the two-page
spread in this weeks paper for
National Hunting and Fishing
Day. Look at the diversity of busi-
ness owners who support these
conservation-based outdoor sports.
Thank them for the support and
patronize them when you can.
Katie, the mostly retired Lab
that will turn 14 in November,
was begging to go along. She
plowed Gracie out of the way and
moved in close as I was putting on
my boots, whining and just hoping
Id say the magic truck word to
her. What spirit! It looks like Ill
be planning a short outing on a
cool October day for her.
The best of the grouse hunt is
still to come as the foliage withers
and the leaves eventually fall. We
are still weeks away from disper-
sal of the grouse broods, which is
when the hunting action really
heats up.
Somebody asked me the other
day if the grouse numbers were
high enough to warrant buying a
small-game license this year. Of
course, I said yes and spoke of all
the good signs, but the answer
would have been the same even
at the bottom of the population
cycle.
Its all about the chase, the
camaraderie of the hunt and
the bond between man and
dog. If the focus is right,
theres no such thing as a bad
grouse season.

The top-placing teams in the 35th annual Pauls Pro-Am gathered
for a group photo Sunday. The anglers included: front row from left,
Phil Schweik and John Sparbel, first; Ryan Bock and Tim Rutzen
Jr., second; back row, Mike Otto and Mike Baldewicz, third; tourna-
ment coordinator Paul Riedel Jr.; and Jarod Adamovich and Jere-
my Barber, fourth. --STAFF PHOTO
The 2009 champions of
Pauls Memorial Pro-Am
Musky Classic returned to the
winners circle Sunday after
catching three muskies on the
Eagle River Chain of Lakes
last weekend.
Phil Schweik of Mosinee
and John Sparbel of Wausau
doubled on Saturday and
boated one more fish on Sun-
day to win the $4,800 first-
place prize.
We caught a 40 and 38
1
/4
on Saturday within the last 20
minutes of fishing and fol-
lowed that up with a 42
1
/4 on
Sunday, said Schweik. The
42
1
/4 also was the big fish win-
ner on Sunday.
All three fish came out of
Yellow Birch Lake, with the
fishermen throwing Bull-
dawgs in deep water.
We had a lot of action
throughout the day. It was
really a good day, said Spar-
bel. We saw 14 fish, hooked
12 and boated four.
The two anglers have
fished in Pauls Pro-Am for
the past four years, taking the
championship twice and plac-
ing seventh in 2008.
We know the Eagle River
Chain pretty well, fishing the
Professional Musky Tourna-
ment Trail and ProMac tour-
nament circuits each year,
said Schweik. We like to fish
close to the tournament head-
quarters on Duck Lake,
because he gives that much
more casting time than those
guys running all the way to
Catfish and Cranberry lakes.
Tournament coordinator
Paul Riedel Jr. said there were
some pretty decent fishing con-
ditions, with sunny skies turn-
ing to mostly cloudy on Satur-
day, but a cold front moved in
on Sunday. But the anglers still
did well, according to Riedel.
The 61 teams were still
able to register 27 fish on Sat-
urday, but only nine came in on
Sunday. That also is the short-
er fishing day, said Riedel.
Those are some pretty good
fishermen out there. They
know how to catch muskies.
Placing second was the
team of Ryan Bock of Three
Lakes and Tim Rutzen Jr. of
Weston. They were the only
other team to catch three fish.
They won $2,400 for their
three fish. They caught fish of
35
1
/4 and 36
1
/2 inches on Sat-
urday and a 36
1
/2-incher on
Sunday. Two of the fish came
on the river and the third was
caught on Otter Lake.
Five teams doubled on Sat-
urday and had a good chance
at the title on Sunday. Third-
place through eighth-place
teams all doubled, making for
a very close tournament,
according to Riedel.

Fall weather conditions have improved fishing
action in the North Woods. With water temperatures
around 60 degrees, fish are starting their fall feeding
patterns. This is a great time to get out on our area
lakes for some of the best fishing of the season!
Walleye fishing has been very good and will contin-
ue that way through the fall. The walleyes have
moved out to deeper water to feed on minnows. To find
these fish, anglers need to do a little searching on
deeper lakes. Look for big schools of baitfish and min-
nows on your locator and work these areas with a jig
and minnow. Anglers can narrow their search to 15 to
30 feet of water to find these baitfish schools. On shal-
lower lakes, such as those on the Eagle River Chain,
the walleyes will be moving into the deep holes and
can be very easy targets with a jig and minnow.
Muskie fishing also is improving. These fish can be
hard to find one day and then seem like they are
everywhere the next day. Anglers will find some of
these fish chasing schools of baitfish in deep water
just like the walleyes. These fish can be targeted with
deep diving crankbaits and Bulldawg-style lures.
Muskies will also be in the weeds and on deep weed
edges laying in ambush mode. These fish can be tar-
geted with many different techniques, but large buck-
tails, spinnerbaits, and jerkbaits tend to be the best
producers. Live suckers on quick-set rigs are always
very effective for these shallower muskies.
Bass action has slowed down on some lakes. Small-
mouths are still hitting on crayfish imitations, but
starting the annual switch to minnows. Try some
Rapalas or other minnow imitation lures also. Large-
mouth bass are still hitting well in the weeds, with
plastics and spinnerbaits working very well.
Panfish action has been decent for most species.
Perch are schooling in deep water, and the best bait
has been fathead minnows. Anglers also will find
some perch up in the weeds. Crappie fishing has been
good in these same weedy areas, and small minnows
always work best. Bluegills can be found suspended in
deeper water.
Fishing action should remain very good overall this
week as water temperatures continue to drop. Get out
and enjoy some beautiful fall weather in the North
Woods and catch some fish while doing so!
Good luck and good fishin.

Hunting Facts
The contributions, in the form of excise taxes paid on sporting firearms, ammunition and archery equipment, benefit every state and have generated approx-
imately $5.6 billion for wildlife conservation since 1939. The contribution for 2009 is a record nearly $336 million, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service, which recently announced the Wildlife Restoration apportionment.
An average hunter spends $1,638 every year on the sport.
Teenage girls are the fastest growing market in sport shooting.
According to research, 72% more women are hunting with firearms today than just five years ago. And 50% more women are now target shooting.
Americans hunt 228 million days per year.
More than 38 million Americans hunt and fish.
Hunters and anglers support more jobs nationwide than the number of people employed by Walmart.
Through license sales and excise taxes on equipment, hunters and anglers pay for most fish and wildlife conservation programs.
Hunters and shooters have paid more than $5 billion in excise taxes since 1939.
More Americans hunt and shoot than play golf.
Firearms are involved in less than 1% of all accidental fatalities. More Americans are killed in accidents involving vending machines than guns.
Hunting gear sales are growing faster than all other sporting goods categories.
Americans annually buy 1.1 billion shotshells.
Nonresident hunting license, tag, stamp and permit sales have risen 41.2% since 1993.
Top-selling sporting goods: 1.) exercise equipment; 2.) golf gear; 3.) hunting gear

With birdwatchers, hikers, moun-
tain bikers, canoeists, snorkelers,
backpackers, ATV riders, photogra-
phers and other recreationists, lots
of Americans love wildlife and wild
places.
Hunters and anglers love them, too
and together they do more than
all the others for conservation.
How?
Hunters and anglers provide lead-
ership in many ways, but the sim-
plest answer is . . . cash. And lots
of it!
Today there are 34 million hunters
and anglers in the U.S. By pur-
chasing hunting and fishing licens-
es, and paying special taxes on
firearms and ammunition, bows
and arrows, and rods and reels,
hunters, anglers and shooters gen-
erate $100,000 every 30 minutes!
This annual total, $1.75 billion,
pays for the vast majority of the
conservation work of fish and
wildlife agencies in every state.
These public agencies serve the
citizens of their state by overseeing
all fish and wildlife, both hunted
species like deer and non-hunted
species like robins, as well as all
aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
In this way, hunters and anglers
benefit all Americans who love
wildlife and wild places. In fact,
among the many groups of people
recreating in the great outdoors,
nobody does more for conservation
than hunters and anglers!

Virtually every species of wildlife, from songbirds and chipmunks to bald eagles and whooping cranes, benefit from the programs supported
and financed by hunters and anglers. This year, on NATIONAL HUNTING AND FISHING DAY, SATURDAY, SEPT. 24, join
with Americas First Environmentalists in supporting conservation.
A Great Tradition,
Source of Pride Since 1972
In the 1960s, hunters and anglers
embraced the eras heightened
environmental awareness, but were
discouraged that many people didnt
understand the role that sportsmen
played and continue to play in
the conservation movement.
In 1972, with urging from the National Shooting Sports Foun-
dation, Congress unanimously authorized National Hunting
and Fishing Day on the fourth Saturday of every September.
On May 2, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon signed the first
proclamation of the annual celebration.
Today, National Hunting and Fishing Day remains a great pro-
motion for outdoor sports and conservation as well as a
source of pride for hunters and anglers nationwide.
National Hunting
and Fishing Day
How a Good Idea Became a Great Tradition
Over 100 years ago, hunters and anglers were the earliest and most vocal supporters of conservation and scientific wildlife management.
They were the first to recognize that rapid development and unregulated uses of wildlife were threatening the future of many species.
Led by fellow sportsman President Theodore Roosevelt, these early conservationists called for the first laws restricting the commercial
slaughter of wildlife. They urged sustainable use of fish and game, created hunting and fishing licenses, and lobbied for taxes on sporting equip-
ment to provide funds for state conservation agencies. These actions were the foundation of the North American wildlife conservation model, a
science-based, user-pay system that would foster the most dramatic conservation successes of all time.
Populations of white-tailed deer, elk, antelope, wild turkey, wood ducks and many other species began to recover from decades of unregu-
lated exploitation.
During the next half-century, in addition to the funds they contributed for conservation and their diligent watch over the returning health of
Americas outdoors, sportsmen worked countless hours to protect and improve millions of acres of vital habitat lands and waters for the use
and enjoyment of everyone.
In the 1960s, hunters and anglers embraced the eras heightened environmental awareness but were discouraged that many people didnt
understand the crucial role that sportsmen had played and continue to play in the conservation movement.
The first to suggest an official day of thanks to sportsmen was Ira Joffe, owner of Joffes Gun Shop in Upper Darby, Pa. In 1970, Pennsyl-
vania Gov. Raymond Shafer adopted Joffes idea and created Outdoor Sportsmans Day in the state.
With determined prompting from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the concept soon emerged on the floor of the U.S. Senate. In
June 1971, Sen. Thomas McIntyre, N.H., introduced Joint Resolution 117 authorizing National Hunting and Fishing Day on the fourth Saturday
of every September. Rep. Bob Sikes, Fla., introduced an identical measure in the House. In early 1972, Congress unanimously passed both bills.
On May 2, 1972, President Nixon signed the first proclamation of National Hunting and Fishing Day, writing, I urge all citizens to join with
outdoor sportsmen in the wise use of our natural resources and in insuring their proper management for the benefit of future generations.
By late summer, all 50 governors and over 600 mayors had joined in by proclaiming state and local versions of National Hunting and Fish-
ing Day. The response was dramatic.
National, regional, state and local organizations staged some 3,000 open house hunting- and fishing-related events everywhere from
shooting ranges to suburban frog ponds, providing an estimated 4 million Americans with a chance to experience, understand and appreciate
traditional outdoor sports.
Over the years, National Hunting and Fishing Day boasted many more public relations successes, assisted by celebrities who volunteered
to help spotlight the conservation accomplishments of sportsmen and -women. Honorary chairs have included George Bush, Tom Seaver, Hank
Williams Jr., Arnold Palmer, Terry Bradshaw, George Brett, Robert Urich, Ward Burton, Louise Mandrell, Travis Tritt, Tracy Byrd, Jeff Foxworthy
and many other sports and entertainment figures.
National Hunting and Fishing Day, celebrated the fourth Saturday of every September, remains the most effective grassroots efforts ever
undertaken to promote the outdoor sports and conservation.

Rod Whitehead of Phelps shows his new line of
Easy Pluck C/P plucking machines for chickens
and pheasants. The new model reinvents his
popular duck plucker. --Photo By Sharon Gifford
Along with his original
Easy Pluck duck plucker, Rod
Whitehead of Phelps now
markets the Easy Pluck C/P
for chickens and pheasants.
Both units are mounted on
55-gallon plastic barrels to
contain the feathers, which
are caught in a large garbage
bag. Whitehead is able to keep
the price of the pluckers low
by propelling them with inex-
pensive drill motors.
Whitehead came up with
the pluckers idea a few sum-
mers ago, during his early
retirement. Whitehead had
worked as a millwright/indus-
trial maintenance technician
at nuclear plants.
The Easy Pluck units are
shipped all over the world.
The first duck plucker went to
Labrador, Canada, while the
first prototype chicken pluck-
er was donated and shipped to
a couple in Nicaragua. He has
sent plunkers as far as Aus-
tralia and New Zealand.
Whitehead sells exclusively
over the Internet and advertis-
es in three national magazines:
Backyard Poultry/Chickens/
Wildfowl, Ducks Unlimited and
The New Zealand Hunter.
Ive been told that Im the
best customer by the Phelps
Post Office, with my largest
one-day shipping bill coming to
a little over $300, said White-
head. Most people are quite
surprised to find out the large
plastic 55-gallon drums can be
shipped through the U.S. Postal
Service, and for a minimal fee.
Whitehead said he received
a first-hand testimonial about
his invention from a UPS
driver recently.
You should have seen the
smile on my face after a UPS
driver reported to me that he
and his father had plucked 80
chickens in a little over four
hours with the Easy Pluck
C/P, he said.
The pluckers can be viewed
on Whiteheads website at
pluckwitheasypluck.com.

won $200. Tenth place and
$160 went to Jim Carlson of
Jackson and Tim Carlson of
Eagle River. The Carlsons
also won the big-fish award
on Saturday for their 40

$570. Schweik and Sparbel
also won $570 for the big fish
on Sunday as they boated the

We didnt see a lot of big
fish in the tournament this
year, said Riedel. We usually
see a fish in the 44- to 46-inch
range. There were a lot more in
the 36 to 39 range this year.
The tournament was head-
quartered at Hiawatha Hide-
Away on Duck Lake, formerly
owned by the Riedel family.
This was the 35th annual Pro-
Am. The tournament was open
to 150 two-person teams, but
entries fell to less than half,
due to the poor economy this
year. Last year, 79 teams
fished in the tournament.
The Pro-Am is a memorial
tournament in memory of
Paul Riedel Sr., who died Nov.
24, 1994, at the age of 58
while vacationing in Ft.
Myers, Fla. Riedel was the
originator of the tournament
and the owner of the former
Hiawatha Supper Club.

State fish hatcheries are
producing bumper crops of
fish for stocking this fall, lead-
ing state stocking trucks to
deliver additional walleye and
muskie to dozens of Wisconsin
lakes and streams this
September and October.
The fingerling production
at the warm-water hatcheries
has been very good this year
and thats going to translate
into great news for anglers
down the road, said Dave
Giehtbrock, statewide fish
production manager for the
Department of Natural
Resources (DNR).
Weve produced large fin-
gerling muskie and walleye
above our intended goals, and
were stocking nearly every
site at full quota.
Some stocking has already
occurred and more is on tap.
Tables showing how many
fish were planned for stocking
are now available online on
the DNRs fish stocking Web
page at dnr.wi.gov.
Giehtbrock said that cool
spring temperatures helped
production of muskie and
walleye by keeping the water
quality in the ponds at opti-
mal levels, boosting survival.
As a result, there were extra
fish available to be stocked
out at smaller sizes more
than 3 million walleye were
stocked out in late June
and there are surplus fish
available to be stocked at the
larger size.
Most of the fish stocked or
soon to be stocked are known
as large fingerlings, and
range in size from 5 to 9 inches,
depending on the species. They
were produced from eggs col-
lected from the wild this spring
or from hatchery stocks this
fall by DNR fish crews, were
hatched at DNR hatcheries
and raised at those facilities for
the intervening months.
How long before those fish
are big enough to be legally
kept by anglers depends again
on the species and the regula-
tions on the particular water
body, Giehtbrock said. The
splake being stocked in Lake
Superior will likely only need
a year or so to reach the 15-
inch minimum length limit,
while it will likely be eight to
10 years before the muskie
reach the 40-inch minimum
size limit set to go into effect
in spring 2012 on most state
waters.
The extra muskie and wall-
eye are stocked in waters
where biologists have request-
ed stocking. A formula is used
that distributes the fish equi-
tably among water bodies and
makes sure the carrying
capacity of the water receiv-
ing the fish is not exceeded.
The vast majority of Wis-
consins lakes and rivers sup-
port naturally reproducing
populations. Research has
shown that stocking in these
waters can hurt native fish
populations, but stocking
remains an important man-
agement tool for some waters.
DNR stocks fish to re-
establish formerly self-sus-
taining populations, to pro-
vide research data on the
effectiveness of stocking and
other related practices, and to
expand fishing opportunities
for Wisconsins anglers.
It was an excellent year
with excellent conditions
overall, and hatchery staff
made the most of the situa-
tion to produce large numbers
of healthy, high-quality fish
for stocking, Giehtbrock said.

Hunters looking forward to
the opening of Wisconsins
2011 duck season in the
northern duck zone this Sat-
urday, Sept. 24, should find
good numbers of ducks,
according to state wildlife offi-
cials.
The duck hunt in the north-
ern zone opens at 9 a.m. Sept.
24 and continues through
Nov. 22. Aside from opening
day, hunting hours begin 30
minutes before sunrise.
Hunters looking to go out of
area for waterfowl can head to
the new Mississippi River
zone, which was requested by
duck hunters. It also opens
Sept. 24 and runs through
Oct. 2, followed by a 12-day
split (closure), reopening Oct.
15 and running until Dec. 4.
The southern zone duck
season opens at 9 a.m. Oct. 1
through Oct. 9, and then clos-
es and reopens Oct. 15
through Dec. 4.
State Department of Natu-
ral Resources (DNR) water-
fowl experts predict good duck
hunting this fall.
Wisconsin waterfowlers
have potential for a good hunt-
ing season, said Kent Van
Horn, migratory game bird
ecologist for the DNR. Conti-
nental breeding surveys that
have been ongoing for 56 years
reported record-high numbers
of ducks this spring.
Van Horn said even with
excellent early season indica-
tions, local conditions and
scouting will be the most
important factors when pur-
suing ducks this fall.
Many of the ducks har-
vested in Wisconsin come
from birds that breed in the
states wetlands. The four
most abundant ducks in Wis-
consins fall hunting harvest
are mallards, wood ducks,
green-winged teal, and blue-
winged teal, Van Horn said.
The daily bag limit is six
ducks in total not to include
more than four mallards of
which only one may be a hen,
three wood ducks, one black
duck, two redheads, two
scaup, two pintail, and one
canvasback. The daily bag
limit for mergansers is five
and to include no more than
two hooded mergansers. The
daily bag limit for coot is 15.
As always, hunters who do
the early legwork scouting
for good wetland conditions
and observing what areas
birds are using will be the
ones having a good hunt, said
Van Horn Hunter survey
data in Wisconsin show that
duck hunters who scouted
three or more times harvested
an average of 14.7 ducks,
while those who did not scout
harvested an average of 4.8
ducks per season.
Licenses and HIP
Licenses and stamps
required for waterfowl hunt-
ing include a Wisconsin small
game license, a Wisconsin
waterfowl stamp and a federal
migratory bird stamp. The
$15 federal stamp can be pur-
chased at a U.S. post office.
Hunters will also have the
option of purchasing the fed-
eral stamp privilege at license
vendors for an additional
$2.50 surcharge. The pur-
chase will be noted on their
license. The stamp itself will
arrive weeks later in the mail.
State licenses, permits and
stamps are also available
through Wisconsins Online
Licensing Center.
Waterfowl and other migra-
tory bird hunters must also
register each year with the
federal Harvest Information
Program (HIP) which places
them on a list of hunters that
may receive a mailing asking
them to provide a summary of
their waterfowl harvest.
HIP registration is free and
should occur at the time
hunters purchases their
licenses or state waterfowl
stamps.

Turkey hunters are
reminded that this falls wild
turkey hunting season will
see a big change in turkey
harvest registration proce-
dures.
The previous system, which
required hunters to transport
their turkey to a local regis-
tration station, is being
replaced by more convenient
phone-in and online registra-
tion options.
Hunters will be able to reg-
ister their turkey remotely
through the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR)
website or via the phone-in
Harvest Registration Hotline.
In-person registration sta-
tions will not be available.
All harvested turkeys must
be registered using one of the
following two methods:
Call the DNRs Harvest
Registration Hotline at 1-
(888) HUNT-WIS (486-8947).
This phone-in system will
accept touch-tone entries
only.
Visit the online Harvest
Registration System (Note:
link will become active once
season opens) via the DNR
website.
Hunters will be asked to
record a harvest registration
confirmation number on their
hunting permit at the end of
the call or online session.
Hunters will still have until 5
p.m. on the day after harvest
to register their turkey.
Part of the registration pro-
cess will involve determining
the age (adult or juvenile) and
the sex (gobbler or hen) of the
harvested turkey. In the field,
hunters can refer to page 18 of
the 2011 Wisconsin Small
Game Hunting Regulations
booklet for a graphic guiding
them through the aging and
sexing process. The same
graphic, as well as a full-color
identification guide, can by
found on the turkey registra-
tion page of the DNR website.

14A VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21, 2011
After losing two starters to
early injuries from an already
sparse lineup, the Three Lakes
Bluejays football team lost 40-8
to Lena-St. Thomas Aquinas
last Friday night.
Right from the first prac-
tice, we knew that numbers
would be a huge issue for the
team, said Three Lakes coach
Brian Fritz. Every week we
have a different challenge relat-
ing to numbers on the field.
In pregame warm-ups, Blue-
jays starting guard Hunter
Raatz went down with a neck
injury. Then, in the first quar-
ter, starting fullback/safety
Patrick Levandoski sprained
his foot.
Right from the first play we
knew it would be a long night,
said Fritz.
On the kickoff, Trenten Ste-
fonek, who was playing with a
sprained foot and ankle, kicked
the bottom of the tee and sent
the ball only 25 yards.
This is very unusual for
Trenten, said Fritz. Hes a
very good kicker and we can
usually count on his kicks to be
around the goal line.
Lena returned the kick for
an immediate touchdown and
the tone of the game was set. At
one point, there were so many
Three Lakes injuries that
offensive tackle Jake Schneider
had to take a series at quarter-
back.
Throughout the game, it
seemed whenever a Bluejay
player found success, it was
marred by injury shortly after.
Levandoski was having a
great game before he went
down, said Fritz. So were
Trenten Stefonek, Riley Lieb-
scher, Ben Wales, Brent
LaDuke and Anthony Briggs,
the backup fullback we brought
in to play line.
LaDuke got back into the
game in the second half and he
hit Wales for a 30-yard touch-
down pass in the fourth quarter.
LaDukes play and our
wide-receiver production have
been bright spots both in this
last game and in the season,
said Fritz. The greatest con-
cern, when you have to pass the
ball, is your quarterback mak-
ing bad decisions. LaDuke
made very few bad decisions.
Wide-receiver play by both
Wales and Liebscher has been
promising this season, added
the coach. LaDuke finished
with 150 yards passing and 50
yards rushing. Wales tallied 60
yards receiving.
I cant emphasize how
much effort the young men give
every single night, said Fritz.
The Jays are scheduled to
travel to White Lake to face
Elcho-White Lake Friday, Sept.
23, at 7 p.m.
Bluejays battle thru injuries in loss The Eagle River Area
Jaycees will host an NFL
Punt, Pass & Kick competi-
tion this Sunday, Sept. 25, at
1 p.m. at the Northland
Pines High School football
field.
The competition, which
allows youths to showcase
their talents in punting,
passing and kicking, with
scores based on distance and
accuracy, will be free of
charge and open to boys and
girls ages 6-15.
Age classification is as of
Dec. 31, 2011.
The top finishers from
each of 10 age groups at the
local competition will
advance to a Sectional com-
petition. The winners at the
Sectional will have their
scores compared with other
Sectional champions. The top
four from the pool of Section-
al champions advance to the
Green Bay Packers team
championship.
Age-group champions at
this level will be declared
NFL Punt, Pass & Kick team
champions. The top four fin-
ishers in the boys and girls
divisions within each age
bracket from the pool of all
team champions will qualify
for the national finals at an
NFL playoff game in January.
For competition informa-
tion, call Jed Lechleitner at
(715) 891-7633. Entry forms
are available online at NFLy-
outhfootball.com or from
12:15 until 1 p.m. on the day

The Three Lakes Lady Jays
finished 10th among Division 3
teams running at Saturdays
55th annual Smiley Cross-
County Invitational hosted by
Wausau East High School.
Fifty-eight schools from
across the state gathered at the
American Legion Golf Course
in Wausau for the event, and
188 runners toed the line as
the gun sounded for the Divi-
sion 2 and 3 race.
Natalie Miller of Three
Lakes got a solid start and con-
tinued to improve her position
throughout the race, saying her
goal was to keep Auburndales
top runner, Danica Harrison,
within her sights.
Miller held on to earn a
medal, finishing fourth in Divi-
sion 3, and eighth overall. She
ran a personal best time of 15
minutes, 51 seconds. Toma-
hawks Rachel Sudbury was
the overall champion, finishing
in 15 minutes flat. Harrison
took Division 3, crossing the
line in 15:31.
Even though this is only
her second year of cross-coun-
try, Natalie does an exceptional
job of controlling her pace,
said Three Lakes coach Laurie
Levandoski. This is especially
important to do at Smiley due
to the caliber of competition
running.
Caitlin Vreeland-Griffin was
the second Three Lakes runner
to cross the line, finishing 39th
with a time of 18:41, followed
by Indi Yeager, who was 49th in
18:38. Teammate Sonya West-
fall finished 66th in 19:20, fol-
lowed by Jena Miles, who was
70th in 19:26. Peyton Radaj
finished in 84th place in 20:56.
We knew going into this
race that the level of competi-
tion at the Smiley would be a
great opportunity for improv-
ing race times due to the cal-
iber of athletes participating,
said Levandoski. I was very
proud of the girls and the level
of effort they put into their per-
formances. All of them ran
their personal best times at
Smiley.
The coach added that the
Bluejays knew they would face
strong competition from sever-
al of their sectional rivals,
including Edgar, Auburndale
and Marathon.
Smiley is the perfect time
for many schools to measure
themselves against other
teams and individuals they
will see later in the season as
they vie for the opportunity to
advance, she said.
The Bluejays will host the
Three Lakes Invite Thursday,
Sept. 22, in Sugar Camp at
4:30 p.m.

The Northland Pines
Eagles missed several scoring
opportunities in the first half
against Hurley and lost the
nonconference football game
35-20 at Eagle River last Fri-
day night.
After Hurley attempted an
onside kick to open the game,
the Eagles drove straight
down the field and scored on a
16-yard run from Johnny
Schwenn. Rich Mork kicked
the PAT to give Pines the ear-
ly 7-0 lead.
After Hurley had a three
and out, Pines took over and
dropped a wide open pass on
third down in Midget territo-
ry. Hurley took advantage of
the Eagles missed opportuni-
ty on their next possession
and drove the field, scoring on
a 20-yard touchdown pass.
On the Eagles next posses-
sion, Schwenn broke free
around the left side and
scored on a 49-yard touch-
down run. Morks PAT gave
Pines a 14-7 lead. The
Midgets then gave up the ball
on a fumble at their own 19-
yard line, but an interception
at the goal line stopped the
Eagles drive.
Pines Lucas Ferber then
intercepted the ball at the 45-
yard line and the Eagles drove
to the 18, but a dropped pass
in the end zone on fourth
down gave the ball back to
Hurley.
The Midgets drove down
field and scored on a 26-yard
run with 1:17 left in the half.
The PAT failed and the Eagles
maintained a 14-13 lead.
The Eagles Austin Ramesh
returned the ball to the 49,
but the drive stalled when
quarterback Cooper Kerner
was sacked at the Midgets 38-
yard line. Pines went into
halftime with a 14-13 lead as
Hurley intercepted the ball at
the 2-yard line with two sec-
onds remaining in the half.
We came out and played
solid football against a very
good opponent, said Pines
coach Jason Foster. We had
several opportunities in the
first half to build a bigger
lead, but were unable to capi-
talize inside of their 25-yard
line three separate times.
Hurley scored on its first
drive of the second half, get-
ting a 20-yard touchdown run.
The PAT run gave the
Midgets a 21-14 lead. Neither
team scored again until the
Midgets found the end zone on
a 4-yard touchdown run with
7:07 left in the fourth quarter
to make it 27-14.
Ramesh brought the Eagles
back with an 8-yard touch-
down run with 3:46 remaining
in the game to make it 27-20,
but an onside kick by Pines
was recovered by Hurley.
The Midgets put the game
away with a 60-yard touch-
down run in the final minutes
to make the final 35-20.
Our kids never gave up
and battled until the final
whistle, said Foster. Offen-
sively, we rushed the ball pret-
ty well, but did not execute
our passing game as well as
we had the previous two
weeks. We definitely dropped
and misplayed some passes
that we usually complete.
Ramesh finished the game
with 133 yards on 25 carries,
while Schwenn had 11 carries
for 93 yards. Mork had four
carries for 39 yards.
Defensively, we did some
things really well, but had a
few too many mental break-
downs to shut down Hurleys
powerful running attack, said
Foster.
Linebacker Ferber led
Pines with four solo tackles,
eight assists and one intercep-
tion; Alex Kornely had six solo
tackles and five assists; Brian
Kubacki had two solo tackles,
eight assists and one sack;
Ramesh had four solo tackles
and three assists; and Mork
had four solo tackles and one
assist.
I was proud of our effort
and believe we can really
build off of some of the posi-
tives from this game as the
season moves along, said Fos-
ter.
The Eagles, 3-2 overall and
1-1 in the WestPAC confer-
ence, will host Ironwood,

The Three Lakes Bluejays
boys soccer team lost 6-0 in
Phillips Monday in a Northern
Lights Conference game before
losing to the same team 3-2 the
next night in a nonconference
game.
The Jays controlled the
game for the first 26 minutes,
but missed three good scoring
opportunities due to missed
shots, according to Three Lakes
coach Jack Wales.
The Jays should have been
up 3-0, instead they were tied
0-0, said Wales.
Scoring started for the Log-
gers when Three Lakes had a
defensive miss on a ball that
shouldve been cleared. Then,
just before halftime, Phillips
tallied three more goals in a
two-minute stretch, widening
their lead to 4-0.
We couldnt recover, said
Wales. That was our fourth
game in three days and I think
it took a toll on the players.
The next night the Bluejays
came out hard and kept the
pressure on the Loggers
defense throughout the game.
Phillips scored their lone
goal of the first half on a penal-
ty kick, while Jordan Wales of
Three Lakes scored for the tie
at the half from an assist by
Fritz Campbell.
The second half saw Phillips
scoring on a direct kick outside
the box area at the 19:06 mark.
Cory Satterfield netted one for
the Jays assisted by Hunter
Mathison at 17:53.
The Jays played the Loggers
even the rest of the way until
the 1:09 mark on the clock,
when Phillips put up a long
shot on goal that just went
under the crossbar, giving
them the win.
Although we lost the game
3-2, it was a good game for us
as a team, said Wales. After
the game the night before, the
team talked a lot about charac-
ter and I think that we grew as
a team.
The Bluejays were sched-
uled for a game in Ironwood,
Mich., Tuesday, Sept. 20, at
4:30 p.m. Three Lakes will host
Phillips Thursday, Sept. 22, at
5 p.m. before hosting Bayfield-

The Northland Pines boys
soccer team defeated Lake-
land 3-0 and Antigo 5-1 in
Great Northern Conference
(GNC) play last week.
The wins put the Eagles, 4-
2, into second place behind
undefeated Mosinee, 6-0, in
league standings..
Alex Camp got the Eagles
on the scoreboard with a
penalty kick goal at the 33-
minute mark against Lake-
land last Tuesday. Fellow
defender Scott Moline gave
the Eagles a 2-0 lead five min-
utes later with a tremendous
50-yard direct kick.
The arch-rival T-birds did
not quit in the second half as
they worked hard to get back
in the game. But as the game
went on, the Eagles gained
control of the possession, and
iced the game with nine min-
utes remaining. Trevor
Laszczkowski slotted the ball
to Matt Meyer who hit the
one-touch shot past Lakeland
keeper Wren Umlauf.
I thought the guys played
a good game today and started
to relax a bit, which helped us
control the game, said Pines
coach Larry Favorite. The
entire team played well defen-
sively, especially the back five
of Camp, Moline, Greg Cham-
berlain, Steven Vogel and
keeper Evan Hartwig. Lake-
land had some shots, but none
were taken inside the 18-yard
box.
Hartwig had nine saves for
the Eagles.
On Thursday, the Eagles
hosted Antigo, who is still
winless in the GNC. Meyer got
the Eagles on the board just
three minutes in to get Pines
started.
A Jacob Bozic goal, followed
by a pair from Laszczkowski,
gave Pines the 4-0 halftime
lead.
A Mitch Moline crossing
pass to a Chris Paez goal in
the second half rounded out
the scoring for the Eagles,
who upped their overall
record to 10-3-1.
This week, the Eagles trav-
el to GNC foe Rhinelander, 3-
3 in GNC, Thursday, Sept. 22,
for a 5 p.m. contest. This Sat-
urday, Sept. 24, the Eagles
will host a double duel, play-
ing Iron Mountain, Mich., at
10 a.m. and Ashland at 1:30
p.m.
Eagles move into second
with two GNC victories
A group of Pines and Lakeland players went up for the ball after
a corner kick from the Eagles was aired out in front of the goal.

I challenged the team this
week to run their best race of
the year, and we did, said
Pines coach Don Czarapata
Jr. Every single runner had
their best time of the year.
After a hard week of prac-
tice, Czarapata said the team
stepped up its focus and
intensity, while commitment
and attendance have both
improved.
Our next step is to contin-
ue the focus and keep work-
ing hard all the way to the
end of the season, said
Czarapata. We have four
more meets before the State
Championship. After that,
well need to continue doing
the right thing training

After a 3-1 loss to Good-
man in volleyball last Thurs-
day, the Three Lakes Lady
Jays competed in the Menom-
inee Invite Saturday, defeat-
ing Lena but losing to Bondu-
el and Menominee.
The Bluejays are strug-
gling with keeping serves
inbounds, which was a con-
tributing factor in the loss to
Goodman, according to Three
Lakes coach Roni Anderson.
That is the key thing right
now that I see that is hurting
us as a whole, she said.
At the Menominee Invite,
the Lady Jays won all three
games against Lena, but still
had some serving issues. The
girls had more than 13 kills
between them and a couple of
strong blocks.
Lena was a tough team,
but their No. 1 player got hurt
during our game and I think
this was the key for us, said
Anderson. We could really
focus on the players who
replaced their No. 1 player
and thats what we did.
Three Lakes lost close
games to the Indians. The
girls played hard, but serving
accuracy hurt them in the
end.
Weve been averaging
about six points in a row, said
Anderson. For us to be com-
petive, we really need to
increase that every time we
get the ball.
Serving was also an issue
against Bonduel at the invita-
tional, against whom Three
Lakes lost all three games.
Bonduel has really good,
strong girls and they like to
block, said Anderson. The
Three Lakes girls just could
not stop this.
The Lady Jays were sched-
uled to travel to Elcho Tues-
day, Sept. 20. Three Lakes
will travel to Pembine Thurs-
day, Sept. 22, at 6 p.m. before
traveling to play in a tourna-
ment in Phillips Saturday,
Sept. 24.

The Northland Pines vol-
leyball team faced four Great
Northern Conference (GNC)
opponents last week, includ-
ing three in a conference tour-
nament at Antigo Saturday.
The Eagles opened the
week with a 3-0 loss at Antigo
last Tuesday. Pines lost 14-25,
16-25 and 23-25.
We played timid and tenta-
tive in the first two games and
then, after we realized we
could compete with them, we
came alive and at one point
led the third game 22-18, said
Pines coach Margo Rogers
Anderson. We made a few
unforced errors and ended up
losing 23-25, but overall the
final game was a positive con-
fidence builder for the girls.
Carly Bohnen led the
Eagles with nine kills. Paige
Healy had five service aces
and Nicole Sullivan finished
with seven solo blocks.
Northland Pines then
returned to Antigo Saturday
for the conference tourna-
ment, playing Tomahawk,
Lakeland and Medford. In the
next conference tournament
Oct. 15 at Tomahawk, Pines
will face Antigo, Rhinelander
and Mosinee.
In the first round Saturday,
the Eagles fell to GNC
favorite Tomahawk 3-0. The
game scores were 6-25, 8-25
and 10-25.
Tomahawk has a great
program and those girls have
been playing volleyball
together for years, said
Rogers Anderson. We made
quite a few unforced errors
that helped them beat us
handily, but the fact is, our
team needs to continue to get
better at serve receive and
defense so we can handle a
quick offense like that.
The coach said Pines will
continue to improve, but it
will take time.
We have the athletes to be
able to compete with a team
like Tomahawk, she said. We
need to continue to polish our
fundamentals and gain confi-
dence so we can eventually be a
force to reckon with in this con-
ference. Unfortunately, that
doesnt happen overnight.
Lakeland defeated North-
land Pines 3-0 in the second
round, winning 8-25, 11-15
and 18-25.
Once again, it took two
games to warm up. We can
beat some of these teams, but
we just dont have the confi-
dence yet, said Rogers Ander-
son. I say yet because I know
its going to happen. Our girls
are working too hard and
have too many moments of
brilliance to not come out on
top at some point.
In the final round, the
Eagles fell to Medford 3-1.
Pines lost 15-15 and 19-25
before bating the Raiders 25-
23 in game three. Medford
bounced back to take the
fourth game 13-25.
We stayed with them for
the first two games and then
it all came together in the
third. Our intensity and fire
on the court was truly fun to
watch, said Rogers Anderson.
We continue to work on com-
munication and energy in
practice. When our girls have
confidence and are communi-
cating on the court, we can
really play volleyball.
On the day, Sullivan led
Pines with 13 solo blocks,
Abby Alft had eight service
aces and Bohnen finished
with 12 kills.
The Eagles were scheduled
to host Medford on Tuesday of
this week during Homecom-
ing week and will host a tour-
nament this Saturday, Sept.
24, starting at 10 a.m. in the
field house. Teams in the tour-
nament include Crandon,
Coleman, Wabeno, Wausau-
kee, Menominee Indian,
LAnse, Mich., and Onton-
agon, Mich.

Our readers, communities
share credit for national honor
The Vilas County News-Review and its sister
publication in Oneida County, The Three Lakes
News, have been named first in the nation in the
Community Service Award category of the
National Newspaper Associations (NNA) Better
Newspaper Contest for 2011.
It is regarded by many as the highest honor
the NNA can bestow on a newspaper that pro-
fesses to be a community newspaper, but the
credit has to be shared. We couldnt win such an
honor without the support of our readers and
advertisers, and our award-winning coverage is
made possible by dynamic community events.
Generous readers donated $55,000 last year
to the Warm The Children program, clothing 550
children in preparation of winter. Community
leaders organized some of the most interesting
and well-attended special events in Wisconsin,
including the AMSOIL World Championship
Snowmobile Derby, Klondike Days, Northwoods
Relay For Life and Cranberry Fest.
While our advertisers benefit from the infor-
mative ads they place in our publications, their
support helps us accomplish award-winning cov-
erage of local government, community events,
school news, high school sports, the arts, the
great outdoors and breaking news. We invite all
businesses that recognize the importance of com-
munity to become part of this partnership.
One of those projects is the annual Salute to
Emergency Personnel special edition, which rec-
ognizes more than 700 firefighters, EMTs and
law enforcement officers for their life-saving con-
tributions to society. It was part of the News-
Reviews entry for the national award.
Our subscribers do more than keep up on
current news, upcoming events, local govern-
ment, sports, outdoors and public sentiment on
the issues. Their support gives us the circulation
to be a meaningful advertising tool, and that is
the revenue that makes us financially viable. No
newspaper, or any media outlet for that matter,
can defend freedom of speech and keep govern-
ment in check if they arent successful.
There are a lot of outlets people can use to
promote a business or service. The good news is
that many business owners recognize that a com-
munity newspaper, such as the News-Review,
provides many residual benefits. Most alternative
outlets dont deliver the news, promote and cover
community events or publish pictures of your
children and grandchildren.
A community newspaper does all that and a
lot more. They are a government watchdog and a
third-party source for verifying that public notices
are published correctly. They create a historical
record with every issue. A community newspaper
represents the public and its only power is pro-
vided by the citizens who support it.
Though honored to be recognized and
extremely proud of our small but talented staff,
the credit is not all ours to take. The volume and
quality of our work is a direct reflection of the
communities we serve cities and towns that
thrive on a volunteer spirit that is second to none.
Weve always believed, and now NNA judges
have confirmed, that the News-Review is one of
the best community newspapers in America!

Our View
OUR REPUBLIC is as
much endangered today by the
indifference of millions of peo-
ple, inheritors of the traditions
and opportunities of this
greatest of all nations, to their
own duties and responsibili-
ties, as it is by the activities of
the open and secret enemies of
American institutions.
This is Constitution Week,
Sept. 17-23. Half of our citizens
do not take the trouble to vote.
Most of the remainder consider
their duty to their country dis-
charged when they have cast
their ballot and go about their
business during the intervals
between political campaigns,
giving little or no thoughts to
the national welfare.
Elements antagonistic to
American institutions are not
so indifferent or so idle. They
are ceaselessly at work, in the
open and under cover. They
are never off the job of under-
mining the faith of the people
in their country, in spreading
unrest, in arousing discontent,
envy and hatred those pas-
sions out of which violent revo-
lutions are fashioned.
It is human nature to take
an inheritance for granted, to
accept it as a matter of course,
to deem it unnecessary to
defend that which others have
fought for that it might be ours.
And so, with many voices
raised in criticism of American
institutions, American tradi-
tions and American ideals, few
think it worthwhile to call
attention to the incalculable
value of these institutions, tra-
ditions and ideals.
How is a new generation to
learn that there is anything
worthwhile in them? To fight
for ones country when its life is
threatened by violence is noble
and heroic; to stand up for it in
peace time is a virtue quite as
necessary. And unless there be
such virtue in citizenship, our
traditions will be forgotten, our
ideals neglected and our insti-
tutions will crumble.
So, what are some of the
things the Constitution should
mean to you? Heres a list.
It establishes a stable and
responsible government. It
makes you a citizen of the
United States, if native born.
It gives you citizenship, if for-
eign born, on complying with
liberal naturalization laws.
It allows you a voice in the
government through the offi-
cials whom you help to elect.
It guarantees you life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. It defends your rights
even against the government
itself. It makes you equal with
all men before the law.
It confirms your religious
freedom, and liberty of con-
science. It accords you free,
lawful speech. It guarantees
you together with all people
the right of peaceful assembly.
It permits you to petition the
government to right your
wrongs. It guards your proper-
ty rights.
It prohibits the government
from taking your property
without due process of law. It
lets you hold any office in the
nation for which you are quali-
fied. It enables you to become
a citizen of any state. It
insures your right of trial by
jury of your fellow men.
It grants you the right of
habeas corpus.
It assures you a speedy tri-
al. It permits your having
counsel for defense. It prevents
your being tried again if once
acquitted. It lends you the
power of government to com-
pel witnesses to appear in
your behalf. It relieves you
from compulsion to testify
against yourself. It forbids
excessive bail.
It forbids excessive fines or
cruel punishment. It protects
you from slavery in any form.
It sanctions your bearing arms
for the protection of your life
and home. It secures your
home from search except by
lawful warrant. And, it guar-
antees you that the legal obli-
gation of contracts shall not be
impaired.

Two quick observations
from the sports world. One: In
Major League Baseball (think
Milwaukee Brewers), why
cant they make a batting
glove that doesnt need to be
rewrapped by the batter after
every pitch?
Two: Maybe theres a rea-
son American fans find it hard
to get excited about profession-
al tennis superstars. It isnt
easy to be a sportswriter, a
tennis announcer or a print
media proofreader.
At the recent U.S. Open,
here are the names of a few
mens players: Janko Tipsare-
vic, Alexandr Dolgopolov,
Sergiy Stakhovsky, Somdev
Devvarman, Andreas Silje-
strom and Nenad Zimonjic.
Check out these profession-
al womens game competitors.
Theres Mariya Koryttseva,
Tatiana Poutchek, Magdalena
Rybarikova, Kateryna Bon-
darenko, Francesca Schiavone,
Silvia Solar-Espinosa and

Kuznetsova, Jarmila Gajdoso-
va, Caroline Wozniacki, Katari-

My guess is they are not
from America!
Our Constitution is a citizens responsibility
YOU STRIKE A match,
touch it carefully to neatly
arranged tinder and soon you
have a fire to last the ages.
Put together a bundle of
cattails, a half-dozen decoys,
a cool autumn morning, add a
touch of 12-year-old mixed
with a 20-gauge shotgun, and
before you know it you have a
duck hunter fever burning in
the breast of a boy.
Long before I reached the
age of 12, I knew that more
than anything in the world, I
wanted to be a duck hunter.
From the first time I brushed
toddler fingers over the
breast feathers of a mallard
my dad brought home from
the hunt, I knew ducks were
special.
It seemed like I would nev-
er be old enough to hunt, but
finally, almost a month after
my 12th birthday, opening
day of duck season rolled
around. My dad and I pad-
dled our canoe to the large
bog island in the center of
Rice Lake where members of
the Long or Maines families
had already sat in duck
blinds for over 30 years
before that October 1961
afternoon when I took my
place in the mystical fraterni-
ty of duck hunters.
In a year when duck num-
bers were down, the bag limit
was just two ducks. It could
have been 200 as far as my
shooting was concerned. I
proved to be an excellent
practitioner of shooting holes
in the atmosphere, but not so
excellent at hitting the ducks
flying through that atmo-
sphere.
We took home two mal-
lards that day, and I claimed
one of them fell to my shot,
even though I knew in my
heart it was my dads 12-
gauge that brought it down.
It didnt matter. I was hope-
lessly addicted to duck hunt-
ing. Fifty years later and I
still am.
During those first two
years of my duck hunting
career, Dad and I could and
did get up virtually every
weekday morning at 4:30 to
head out duck hunting.
We could hunt until 7:30,
after which we would head
home, I would do a quick

OLD FRIENDS may be
the best friends, but new
friends you dont know very
well are good, too. Theyre
not only good, but they can
be less trouble than old
friends. You know how it is
with old friends.
New friends, by which I
mean friends with whom you
have no serious relationship,
make life pleasant. These
people are passing-on-the-
street friends, elevator
friends, small-business
friends like the girl at the
checkout counter. It would
take a week for me to count
all the minor friends I have
and then Id forget quite a
few until I saw them again.
So would you.
From day to day these
acquaintances are important
to how I feel about the whole
world. If all I did was read
about people in the newspa-
per or watch them on televi-
sion, Id always be depressed.
Coming in contact every day
with good people who are
minor friends renews my
faith in mankind, a faith that
was destroyed the previous
evening watching television
news, where most of the peo-
ple were bad, sad or dead.
You gain and lose these
friends all the time. I lost
two this week when the man
and woman who run the dry
cleaners where Ive been
going for seven years, sold
the business and moved to
Florida. Ill never see them
again and Im sorry, because
it was always a pleasure to
leave a piece of clothing with
them or pick one up. They
did their job, I paid them, we
smiled, exchanged a few
words and I left. Taking a
freshly cleaned and pressed
suit from the cleaners whose
proprietors are minor friends
is one of lifes small plea-
sures.
The beauty of friends you
dont know well is that you
have no obligation to them
except to be pleasant, and
they have none to you. You
dont worry that their mother
is dying of cancer because
They dont disagree,
fight or borrow money

change of clothes and Dad
would drive me uptown to
school.
There were mornings of
spectacular sunrises, mornings
of fog so thick you couldnt see
a foot past your nose, mornings
when ice skimmed half an inch
thick across most of Rice Lake
and mornings when rain or
snow pelted us unrelentingly.
I loved all of them. I killed
all of an honest three ducks
that first season. I may have
been the poorest shot among
all the boys in town, but there
was no other who could match
my missionary zeal for duck
hunting.
We spent a lot of mornings
in a blind of cattails and bal-
sam boughs, Dad watching
south, me north. What a won-
derful sound it was to hear the
slash of wind through pinions
of duck wings as they swept
past us with a sound like jet
engines roaring.
Believe me, when Dad said,
Keep your head down, dont
move, and then, those most
magical words, Shoot em, I
got down, didnt move and
shot. Boy, oh boy, did I shoot. I
didnt hit much, but those few
times I did, you could not
imagine the joy I felt, the
swelling of pride in my chest.
I have learned much about
ducks and duck hunting in 50
years. You might even say I
have become fairly proficient
at the game, though not nearly
as proficient as I would have
myself believe. No duck hunter
ever is.
But I have learned much,
and last weekend I found
myself sitting in a duck blind
again with a soon-to-be 13-
year-old for the opening morn-
ing of the youth duck hunt.
Nate and I set up shop in a
blind from which I had one of
my best-ever Wisconsin duck
season openers when I was 13,
the details of which are still
crystal-clear in my mind.
Im hoping last Saturday
will be the same kind of day for
Nate. His dad, Paul, and broth-
er, Nick, were in another blind
about 200 yards south of us.
Nate reminded me of myself
at the same age, wide-eyed
and eager for the ducks to fly.
When I told him to stay
down, he stayed down. When I
told him to not move, he didnt
move much anyway. When I
told him to shoot em, he shot
at them. Unfortunately, much
like me at that age, he was
very proficient at shooting
holes in the atmosphere but
not so much in the ducks.
We both got pretty excited
when four Canada geese start-
ed bearing down on us from
the north, but we could only
watch as they veered south
directly over Nick and Paul.
They could only watch as the
honkers wafted over 100 yards
up, tantalizingly close but still
much too far to take a crack at.
We broke for lunch late in
the morning, then returned by
four in the afternoon. Nate
and I tried another blind, and
again he got some good shoot-
ing. Once again he opened up
some wonderful holes in the
ozone layer but spared all the
ducks.
Still, we had a great time.
We watched an eagle soaring
overhead for much of the
afternoon, talked a lot of duck
hunting and jointly decided
duck hunting might be the
best job in the world.
Though no ducks were
harmed in the telling of this
tale so far, I would be remiss
if I failed to add that Sunday
afternoon Nate connected on
a fine crossing shot to down
the first duck of his career, a
pretty wood duck.
The only bad thing is that
I had a previous commitment
and couldnt be there to be a
part of it. Hopefully there
will be an encore the next
time we share a blind.
In the meantime, a new
fire has been kindled, one Im
sure will remain burning for
a lifetime in the heart of a
new duck hunter.

thats not something they
talk to you about. It doesnt
matter to you that theyre
having trouble paying the
rent and they wouldnt dream
of mentioning it to you. You
dont burden minor friends
with major problems. Each of
these friends is different and
each contributes to your day
in a different way. They make
the world seem civilized.
Freddy is the doorman in
front of a building I go in all
the time and my relationship
with him is different than my
relationship with the dry
cleaning people. They didnt
care about sports events.
With them, the talk was
mostly about the weather or
how often the streets were
dug up in New York. With
Freddy, all we ever talk about
is sports.
How do you think the
Giants looked the other
night? he asked me recently.
OK, I replied.
I dont have real conversa-
tions with Freddy. Anything
we have to say gets said as I
move past him. We have our
meeting of the minds and
then we both proceed to the
next event in our lives. Its
pleasant, its not taxing and
it doesnt cost either of us
anything.
I often take a taxi. There
are 11,000 cabs in New York
City, so the chance of getting
the same one twice, even if
you take a couple of hundred
cab rides a year, is slight.
Nonetheless, there are sever-
al cab drivers Ive had half a
dozen times. Were friends.
They may steal or cheat, but
I only know their good side
and I like it that way.
Last time I had you, you
were going to the airport. You
were making a speech in
Cleveland.
I had all but forgotten
Cleveland, but that cab driver,
who in all likelihood has never
been to Cleveland, hadnt for-
gotten. We are minor friends.
Minor friends seldom dis-
agree. They never fight. They
dont borrow money, have
each other over for dinner
Saturday night, or argue over
whether the current presi-
dent is the worst or the best
president the United States
ever had. Ive never
exchanged a discouraging
word with my minor friends
and, if they were all I ever
had to deal with, the sky
would not be cloudy all day.

Dear Editor:
I just had to respond to
the Sept. 7 issues letter from
Peter Moline of Afterglow
Resort.
When we purchased the
Derby Track from the Lions
in 1985, Peters dad, Bert,
was the first one of the busi-
nesspeople to come to the
track office to welcome us to
Eagle River and thank us for
purchasing the race and
ensuring the continuation of
the Derby tradition. Like the
Lions, he recognized the val-
ue of the Derby event and
the tourism dollars it
brought to our area in the
winter season.
But how times have
changed. Now I hear that
silent sports and legal
motorized activity cannot co-
exist. Berts son, Peter, tells
us that if all-terrain vehicles
(ATVs) are allowed to come
past his property, he will
have to close the snowmobile
route on his land. Where is
the neighborly thought in
this kind of threat? Where is
the concern for fellow busi-
nesses or his community that
survives on snowmobile dol-
lars during the long winter?
To close a snowmobile
trail just a few months
before the start of the season
can be devastating to the
many businesses that
depend on year-round activi-
ty. Plus, the cost and time
required by the snowmobile
clubs to reroute a new trail is
considerable.
I have all the respect in
the world for silent-sports
people, however, I just can-
not believe that a few limited
ATV trails and the continued
use of snowmobiles in Vilas
County will cause Peter any
loss of business.
Thank goodness Peters
dad recognized the value in
the snowmobile traffic and
business that snowmobiles
could attract. I wish Peter
could learn from his dads
business philosophy, and
that his silent-sport cus-
tomers would consider shar-
ing our beautiful North
Woods with those who enjoy
different forms of outdoor
activity.
Can we just please give
this new sports venue
ATVing a chance? It has
worked well in other areas
and has proved to be a
tourism asset. Like snowmo-
bilers, the ATV enthusiast
travels and supports gas sta-
tions, restaurants and lodg-
ing stops over a broad
expanse.
Maybe a lot of people dont
know it, but todays ATV is
quieter than any other vehi-
cle on the road, and their
four-stroke engines are envi-
ronmentally friendly.
Lets keep the North
Woods what it should be a
getaway destination for ev-
eryone and, hopefully, a
more healthy economical
region, too. Lets not close
any snowmobile trails and
lets give the ATVs a chance
to see if it will work with the
silent-sport people, the sum-
mer visitors and the resi-
dents, and if it will, indeed,
create new business opportu-
nities in Vilas County.
If everyone would just quit
fighting, get together to talk
and work it out so everyone
can be satisfied. Without suc-
cessful businesses, there will
be no facilities and services
for visitors and residents to
enjoy in our North Woods.

Dear Editor:
Susan Samuelson ex-
pressed in her letter to the
editor what seems so obvious
Eagle River should do its
best to present the area as
welcoming, relaxed, vacation
ready all that it truly is. It
also seems the right time for
Eagle River to make its
entrance the same.
Entering at the highways
45/70 stoplight from the south
is nondescript at best, down-
right unattractive at worst.
With three vacant corners,
maybe now is the time to take
action? An eye-catching Wel-
come to Eagle River sign?
Some pine trees? North
Woods-style directional signs
that being white, arrow
shaped? Maybe a sign adver-
tising upcoming events in the
area? Something to note
youve arrived at a destina-
tion, the place you want to be
to unwind and have fun.
Door County has done a job
beyond compare to accomplish
this feat: a uniform theme, no
billboards, a warm inviting
atmosphere. Arriving there,
you truly feel transformed to
a wonderful, relaxing place.
Eagle River could do more to
suggest the same with just a
bit of innovation.
I join with Susan in asking
the Vilas County board to
invite ideas, think creatively.
Lets bring beauty and a sense
of where I want to be to
vacationers and locals alike.

Dear Editor:
Im one of a large number of
Vilas County landowners and
voters who do not want county
highways opened to all-terrain
vehicle (ATV) route traffic, and
who do not want county lands
opened to ATV trails. Consider
the following brief points:
Concerns about ATV routes
and trails There is
widespread feeling that ATV
routes on county roads and
ATV trails on county lands can
do great harm to the quality of
life of residents, to traffic safe-
ty, and to the longstanding vig-
orous, profitable appeal of Vilas
County to annual visitors,
vacationers and outdoor sports
enthusiasts. I have just one
respectful suggestion and
request for Vilas County super-
visors regarding ATV routes
and trails.
Discover what constituents
and landowners want; create an
ordinance Im hoping that
the Vilas County Board will dis-
cover what Vilas County voters
and landowners collectively
want, and then enact an ordi-
nance governing ATV routes
and trails in Vilas County that
is consistent with the will of the
voters and landowners.
Heres some information,
contained in a set of binders in
the county clerks office, that
may shed light on what people
feel about ATV routes and
trails right now (as of mid-
September 2011) form let-
ters signed by ATV proponents,
293 individual names; individ-
ual letters written by ATV pro-
ponents, none; form letters
signed by persons not wanting
ATV routes or trails, 28 indi-
vidual names; individual let-
ters written by persons not
wanting ATV routes or trails,
73 individual names; and peti-
tions signed by persons (voters
and landowners) not wanting
ATV routes or trails, 550-plus
individual names.
The responses listed above
indicate there is widespread
concern throughout Vilas
County about the use of ATVs
on county roads and lands.
County committees soon will
hear proposals from towns for
the use of county highways as
ATV routes. The county board
of supervisors then will have to
decide whether or not to begin
to open county roads to ATV
traffic.
I hope the county board will
find out what voters and
landowners want collectively
before deciding. I hope the
county board will consider the
year 2004 referendum reveal-
ing significant opposition to
ATV routes and trails.
If the county board feels that
they need to know what people
believe right now, in 2011, Im
hoping they authorize a new
county referendum on ATV
routes and trails before decid-
ing.

Dear Editor:
Collective bargaining be-
tween the airlines, pilots, flight
attendants and passengers
unions, long before 9/11/01,
included proposals to harden
the cockpits of airliners as
Israels EL AL had done to pre-
vent hijackers from gaining
access to cockpit.
The airlines thought this to
be cost-prohibitive and ineffec-
tive. History has taught us oth-
erwise. Now we have hardened
cockpits.
Perhaps collective bargain-
ing has merit.

READER OPINION
Dear Editor:
Concerning our last election
for Senate, Id like to share a
few observations.
This was the second election
in Vilas County where we
erected campaign signs for our
candidate. The sheriffs elec-
tion was the first. We have
lived in small towns and in
larger cities, and even have
been full-time RVers for a cou-
ple of years.
Weve been around and have
talked to many kinds of folks.
However, this is the only place
weve experienced our signs
being run over, stolen or just
picked out of the ground and
thrown into the nearby woods.
We find this to be so childish,
not to mention showing a
small-town mentality (igno-
rance). We really cant believe
the nerve of some people!
Bottom line: If your opinion
is different, please stop by for a
cup of coffee and sit down and
discuss your views. Wed be
glad to enlighten you!
Besides, those signs are private
property and damaging them is
an act of violence which should
put someone in jail. Next time,
well be sure to put up some
hunting cameras.
Jim Holperins attack on
Kim Simac was deplorable. I
dont know if Im more disgust-
ed with him or those who put
stock in his ads hook, line
and sinker.
First of all, if you dont make
a whole lot of money, you dont
owe state taxes. If you dont
owe taxes, and you dont pay,
are you guilty of something?
Shame on you who believed his
nonsense.
Also, regarding paying prop-
erty taxes, Ive been told we can
delay those up to three years
(with interest and penalty). So,
if Im a small-business owner
and need to decide which bills
to delay (to keep my credit
score high, which banks look at
to approve lines of credit for
businesses to make payroll),
why not delay my property tax-
es?
Bottom line: The Simacs
property taxes were paid.
Shame on you if you believed
Jims nonsense. And shame on
you if you voted for Jim
Holperin, who will always be
on the public dole, never know-
ing underemployment or
unemployment.
Because he always gets a
paycheck (hey, he is the one
who didnt get a paycheck for
three weeks when he went to
Illinois). Funny how he could
afford that. I do not know any-
one today who could take three
weeks off without pay, do you?
Hell always receive a paycheck
from the Wisconsin taxpayers,
no matter what. And here hes
the one pointing a finger at his
opponent. Shame on him, and
shame on those who couldnt
see past his preposterous
claims.
I felt Jim was accusing
many of us of just getting by.
Doing things legally, because of
the economy, is not shameful,
its resourceful.
Jim, you will never feel the
pain of your constituents. Your
attack ads were abominable.
But as you said in the last
debate, Thats politics! Well,
November 2012 is coming soon
and will give us time to educate
the voters on who to vote for
next. Not someone like you who
represents the unions. Not
someone like you who is
entrenched in politics.
We need someone like us. I
hope Kim Simac runs against
you again.

Shame on those who voted for Holperin
Dear Editor:
The Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) firmly sup-
ports the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) in delisting
the wolf in the upper Great
Lakes states. Wisconsin has
exceeded its delisting goal
eight times over and must have
flexibility to manage problem
wolves if any support for
wolves by the public is to con-
tinue.
While the department is
committed to long-term conser-
vation of wolves in Wisconsin,
it is critical that we be allowed
to manage wildlife populations
within our borders. Wisconsin
has approximately 800 wolves;
this is the most wolves ever
counted in the state. Wolf num-
bers far exceed the federal
delisting recovery goal of 100
wolves for both Wisconsin and
Michigan, and are causing real
problems.
It is time for management of
wolves in Wisconsin to be
turned over to us. The same is
true for Minnesota and Michi-
gan. For this to happen, the
wolf must first be removed
(delisted) from endangered or
threatened status under the
Endangered Species Act.
We support the USFWS in
its current attempt to delist,
but we also strongly disagree
with its conclusion that a new-
ly discovered and separate
species of wolf exists in the
Western Great Lakes. Wiscon-
sins wolves are the same
species that was listed in 1978,
and are most closely associated
with the gray wolf.
Recent genetic analyses
refute the existence of Eastern
wolves as a separate species.
Wisconsins wolves are of
mixed genetics, but they are
physically indistinguishable,
readily interbreed, and occupy
the same range.
Wolves in Wisconsin act and
behave as a single population
and must be managed as a sin-
gle population. Accordingly, our
message to the USFWS is clear
and strong: Dont muddy the
waters with this indefensible
two-population concept. We
need a solid, defensible, delist-
ing proposal, and we need it
now.
Minnesota, Michigan, the
U.S. Sportsmens Alliance, the
Wisconsin Wildlife Federation,
Defenders of Wildlife, Timber
Wolf Alliance, and the Natural
Resources Defense Council,
prominent scientists actively
working with wolf genetics,
and other organizations and
government agencies support
Wisconsins position: Wisconsin
has a gray wolf population that
has successfully recovered.
The public grows weary of
the delays and government
inaction. They need to know
that their state DNR is push-
ing hard to get this done. The
ball is in the USFWSs court,
again. It needs to make the
right decisions and to publish
an effective delisting rule that
will withstand challenges from
those opposed to the delisting
of wolves.
I will not stop pushing on
this issue until we have delist-
ing of wolves and relief for Wis-
consin residents who are seri-
ously struggling with our
unchecked and unmanaged
growing wolf population. Thats
a promise.

Letter to the Editor:
The all-terrain vehicle
(ATV) issue in Phelps has
brought the town to a cross-
roads regarding its future.
What direction does the town
want to take?
It can take a small-town
approach practiced by towns in
Door County, which are similar
to Phelps, or attempt to become
a wide-open-style mini Hay-
ward. The property owners/res-
idents are the ones who have to
answer this question. (The
answer cannot and should not
be driven by any special or sin-
gle-issue group.)
I do not want to preach to
the choir, but here is an
approach. The first step is to
get a 10-year long-range plan
(LRP) started with a diversi-
fied group of townspeople. The
group should be appointed by
the board, be impartial and be
given a year to come up with a
well-thought-out 10-year plan.
The members of the LRP
will need to look and think
futuristic and not be motivated
by instant or short-term solu-
tions to current economic
issues being felt countrywide.
The goals, strategies, tactics,
who is going to do what, and
the cost should all be part of
the plan.
The plan should be present-
ed to the board first and then in
an open forum to the town. If
the town approves the plan, the
board should implement it.
Putting together a strategic
LRP for Phelps will be a diffi-
cult task and require a great
deal of thought and input. The
end result however will provide
a direction for the town, resi-
dents and local business,
encourage new business and
hopefully provide a path
toward an economic future.
A key point residents
and/or property owners must
drive the towns direction. They
pay a major portion of the prop-
erty taxes.

1953 as an independent agency
of the federal government to aid,
counsel and protect the interests
of small-business concerns, to
preserve free competitive enter-
prise and to maintain the over-
all economy of the nation.

Sno-Eagles to hold fundraiser
Northland Pines senior
Elle Tryczak took a chance
when she left the country for
10 months last September.
Tryczak had applied for
the Rotary Youth Exchange
program and, after going
through the application and
interview process, she was
selected and was able to go
to Spain, the country she
had picked as her first
choice.
Although Tryczak had
taken Spanish in school, she
felt nervous about going to a
country where this would be
the primary language.
Her first and second host
families had little to no
knowledge of the English
language, however, Tryczak
said she had a lot of help
from the friends she made.
She felt it was a great
experience and soon found
herself much more fluent in
the language.
During her time there,
she was able to take numer-
ous trips throughout Spain
and visited cities such as
Barcelona and Madrid.
Some of the places she trav-
eled to outside of Spain
included London and Portu-
gal and she stated that it
was very easy and inexpen-
sive to travel in Europe.
Her Spanish friends com-
mented on the fact that she
had seen more of their coun-
try than they had.
While there, Tryczak
attended classes in a private
Catholic school with approx-
imately 40 students in her
class in a city the size of
Madison.
I was really happy to be
in a smaller school, she
said. It was easier to meet
and make friends; it was
like the North Woods.
Her school days consisted
of two long days from 8:30
a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with the
rest of the weeks school
days ending at 1 p.m.
Day-to-day life was so
wonderful, more easygoing,
Tryczak stated. Where I
stayed in Spain was a
fortress city and I would sit
with my friends on a 2,000-
year-old wall, she mused.
A friend Tryczak had
made at Conserve School
during her freshman year
had inspired her to apply for
the youth exchange pro-
gram. Her friend, who had
gone to Argentina, raved
about how wonderful it was.
This was not a trip, said
Tryczak. It was so much
more. The first week was a
bit overwhelming, but once
my language got better and
I made friends, it all got bet-
ter.
Tryczak said she is happy
to be back at Northland
Pines and she loves her
friends and her high school
experience here.
Youth Exchange began
during the 1920s as an effort
between a handful of clubs
in Europe. These European
exchanges continued until
World War II and resumed
in 1946.
The reciprocal long-term
academic exchange grew in
popularity during the 1950s
and became the primary
type of Rotary Youth
Exchange.
In 1972, the Rotary Inter-
national board of directors
agreed to recommend Youth
Exchange to clubs world-
wide as a worthwhile inter-
national activity.
Today, more than 8,000
Youth Exchange students
travel abroad each year to
live and study in about 80
countries.
Each participating club
assumes a number of
responsibilities in connection
with both inbound and out-
bound students which are
shared between the clubs
president and the Youth
Exchange committee.

The husband-and-wife
team of Beverly Linnihan and
Paul Moye of Sugar Camp
recently earned a combined
nine gold medals and one sil-
ver in Wisconsin Senior
Olympics events in Manitowoc
and Wauwautosa.
Linnihan, 73, took gold in
the 200- and 500-yard free-
style, 100-yard Individual
Medley, 50- and 100-yard
backstroke swimming events.
She also won gold competing
in a 20-mile triathlon event.
Moye, also 73, gold-medaled
in the 50-, 100- and 200-yard
backstroke events for swim-
ming, adding a silver in the
triathlon.
Linnihan not only took gold
in the 100-yard backstroke;
she also beat all the men in
her age division. But this is
only the most recent achieve-
ment for a competitor who has
seen success on the national
stage.
Beverly took second in the
nation in San Francisco Bay at
the 2009 Senior Olympics
triathlon, said Moye. She got
cancer after that, and has
recovered after many radia-
tion treatments and surgery.
Shes coming back with a
vengeance.
Linnihan ran 10-minute
miles in the 2009 triathlon
and said her ultimate goal is
to reach that time again.
I think its doable, said
Linnihan, whose swimming
times have improved since she
competed nationally at anoth-
er Senior Olympics event in
Houston, Texas. Its because

Days are shorter now. I went to a friends home for
dinner and, before we knew it, darkness had crept into
the yard where we sat talking. It was surprising, as it
always is. The summer months flew by and fall is mak-
ing its glorious entrance. The leaves on our maple tree
will soon become brilliant red and grace the entire block
with their beauty. The summer heat and humidity is
making a welcomed exit. And soon we will be shoveling
snow here in Wisconsin.
It is a time of transition, a reminder that change is a
part of life and that nothing is forever. Everything
transforms. Trees produce millions of leaves that even-
tually change, die, drop to the Earth and nourish the
next seasons leaves. Clouds drop rain to the Earth.
That water nurtures crops and all of nature flourishes
including our bodies as we drink water essential to our
lives. Rocks become sand which is transformed into
glass for our windows, dishes, elegant pieces of art and
more. Plants and minerals become food for our bodies
and paints for our artwork. Everything is in transition
all the time. Many of the cells of our own bodies die on a
regular basis as new cells take their place.
Perhaps the most important transformation is that
which takes place between our own ears. No, not our
brain cells, though our brains do produce new neurons
as we now know. I am talking about our values, ideas,
commitments to growth and more. Growth is critical to
our lives, but growing means letting go of selfishness
and fear. Consider what our planet would be like if we
all gave up selfishness and fear.
We would no longer see greed in the corporate and
other worlds. We would see an end to wars of all kinds.
Addiction to and use of illegal drugs including alcohol
would disappear. Guns, which those in Wisconsin can

now carry in public, would be
unnecessary because fear
would disappear. Many dis-
eases would disappear also as
our environment became
cleaner with selfishness oblit-
erated. No one would go hun-
gry. No child would run away
from home. The list is so
long. Just ponder how much
of the negative on our planet
would disappear as people
became less selfish and less
fearful.
For many people, life is
just about them. No matter
what happens, they can turn
it into something about them-
selves. But we are all part of
the community of mankind.
Reaching out to others with
generosity and compassion
transforms the world commu-
nity. When I reach out to
someone with compassion or
assistance of some kind, that
person in turn reaches out to
someone else. This goes on
and on and we never know
how far-reaching our actions
are. The pebble in water.
I am no Pollyanna. I
understand that humans are
selfish and fearful. But if
each of us, over time, trans-
forms as much of that as pos-
sible, the world will trans-
form. Peace will grow.

Maya ~
May todays success be
the beginning of tomorrows
achievements!
It was a dream come true
for Maya Lovdal, 13, of St.
Germain. After riding six
days a week and taking jump-
ing lessons twice a week for
years, Lovdal realized her
goal of qualifying to ride in
the annual National Pony
Finals at Kentucky Horse
Park in Lexington, Ky.
A veteran competitor, Lov-
dal started riding competi-
tively at 6 years old, when her
family moved to the area from
Milwaukee. She rides in the
PineRidge Equestrian Center
in Eagle River, where she
trains with Jayme Nelson and
helps exercise the younger
ponies.
Started in 1959 as a chal-
lenge from the British
National Pony Society to
American pony riders, Nation-
al Pony Finals have been an
annual event in the United
States since 1967. Today the
U.S. Equestrian Pony Finals
are the most prestigious and
celebrated events of their
kind in the United States.
I read about Pony Finals
on the Internet. I didnt think
I could get there because of
the high level of riding
required, said Lovdal.
In order to qualify for Pony
Finals, a rider needs to win a
grand champion award by
being the high-point winner
in a pony hunter class at U.S.
Equestrian Federation
(USEF)-qualified A show.
Lovdal participated in sev-
eral USEF A shows this sea-
son and, with her strong win-
ning record, knew in July she
was headed to the Pony
Finals. She was one of only
two riders at the finals from
the state of Wisconsin
Lovdals event, the Hunter
Pony, is a three-phase compe-
tition judging the ponys con-
firmation (body shape and
proportion), its way of moving
under saddle and its fence-
jumping ability.
This seven-day champi-
onship event hosts more than
600 young riders and their
talented mounts, as well as
trainers, family members and
interested spectators.
There were 130 riders in
Lovdals hunter competition
and, when all the points were
tallied, she ranked 40th over-
all.
I felt good about that!
said Lovdal. At one point, she
was ranked fifth in the over-
fences portion of the event.
She also received one of the
24 sportsmanship awards giv-
en during Pony Finals this
year.
Along with her parents,
Rick and Margaret Lovdal,
Nelson accompanied Maya to
the Kentucky Finals.
Maya is a totally serious
competitor, he said. I was so
impressed that she cared for
and tacked up her own pony
and didnt use a groom.
In addition to riding her
pony, Lovdal was asked to
exercise additional ponies for
a training facility in Milwau-
kee.

Standing on the podium four
times in Houston this June,
Linnihan was among the top
10 in every event she competed
in except one.
She and Moye said they
have no intention of slowing
down in the coming years and
expressed enthusiasm about
senior sports.
First of all, its fun, said
Linnihan. And second, its a
wonderful fitness program. The
camaraderie is amazing. I
encourage people over 60 to
aim at activities they enjoyed
when younger.
Moye credited his wife for
his drive to compete and
achieve medals in the Senior
Olympics.
If someone wouldve told
me a year and a half ago that
Id be getting medals in Senior
Olympics swimming events, I
wouldve thought that person
was crazy, said Moye. Beverly
inspired me to do this.
Moye started competing last
year, while Linnihan has taken
part in the program since the
age 65.

at the YMCA of the North-
woods facility in Eagle River.

Just as Dorothy in The
Wizard of Oz tapped her
ruby slippers together
while repeating, Theres
no place like home, Julie
Stefonik exudes that same
longing when she returns
to teach kindergarten in
the same classroom where
she learned her ABCs
many years ago.
Born and raised in Sug-
ar Camp, Stefonik earned
her early childhood degree
from UW-Stout, then
attended UW-River Falls
to earn her certification to
teach through sixth grade.
She is in her fifth year
of teaching kindergarten
at Sugar Camp Elemen-
tary School.
Stefonik admittedly
began mental prepara-
tions in July for the new
school year.
I start to get my teach-
er brain back, she stated.
Though students did
not report to school until
Sept. 1, Stefonik began
classroom preparations
two weeks earlier. Now
her days begin at 7:30
a.m. and often end more
than 10 hours later.
She must meet state
standards appropriate for
kindergarten, complete
continuing education
classes and renew her
teaching license periodi-
cally. Stefonik will finish
her masters degree in
educational technology
this fall.
Kindergarten is more
academic than when I
attended school. Many
kids are learning how to
read, write and to add and
subtract. Free play, being
crucial to child develop-
ment, is allowed each day
and gives me time to
watch the kids interact,
Stefonik explained.
Among the skills she
teaches her young charges
are phonics and blends,
music and dance, and skip
counting.
The most important
thing I want the kids to
learn is kindness, but my
main goal is to create a
love of learning. That
should stay with them for-
ever. I want them to enter
first grade next fall excit-
ed to learn. If they dont
enjoy learning, school is a
struggle, she admitted.
When asked how par-
ents can help, Stefonik
replied, Be aware of what
your child is doing. Look
through the notebook sent
home each night. At the
beginning of the year, par-
ents can help by develop-
ing routines. Make sure
your child gets to bed ear-
ly and has breakfast.
Though separating
from him or her is some-
times difficult, its easier
on the child when parents
leave rather than linger at
school in the morning. It
encourages indepen-
dence, she added.
These kids are awe-
some. I greet them every
morning acknowledg-
ing and checking in with
them. This is the best job
in the world. I love the
community and my co-
workers. Theres no other
job Id rather have, Ste-
fonik confirmed.

Jim Croker of Eagle River
began his love affair with the
Vilas County Fair 50 years ago
in his youth, when he exhibit-
ed many projects as a member
of the 4-H Club.
For his continued dedication
to the fair, Croker was recently
presented an award commem-
orating 50 years of service to
the event for which he served
as board president for more
than 30 years.
After his years in the 4-H
Club, he followed in the foot-
steps of his father and uncle
and was nominated to the
Vilas County Fair board of
directors in September of 1961.
Croker was elected vice
president in 1968 and later
became board president, serv-
ing from 1969-87 and again
from 1993-2009. He continues
to serve as a board member
today, while Dale Ayers has
taken the reins as board presi-
dent.
Although the fair has lost
its 4-H interest, Croker said he
doesnt worry about the event
losing any popularity.
Were still holding on, he
said. We always have a pretty
good turnout at the fair. Fairs
as a general rule will be popu-
lar. It gives people a chance to
get together.
The 50-year veteran of the
county fair said hes seen some
changes over the years.
There are a lot more rules
and regulations than we had
back in the 60s, he said. We
were also busier back then
because we did all the work
ourselves.
Croker said there arent as
many people raising chickens,
pigs and calves to take to the
fair. But he added some of the
other exhibits have grown in
popularity, saying the fair sim-
ply needs to change to continue
its draw.
Weve got to get more into
what people are doing now, he
said. Weve got good art
exhibits and our beer and wine
exhibit has really grown. There
are quite a few people making
their own home brews.
Among his accomplish-
ments, Croker was instrumen-
tal in getting three-year board
terms installed, and stagger-
ing the terms so the entire
board wasnt up for election
each year.
He spearheaded the project
to have the flagpole installed
and dedicated in 1993, the year
of the county centennial. Cro-
ker also sold advertising and
readied the fair book for publi-
cation.
In addition to planning and
promotion, Croker performed a
number of electrical duties at
the fair, including outlet instal-
lation and rewiring the entire
exhibit building.
He was never afraid of
hard work or accepting new
challenges, said Vilas County
Fair President Dale Ayers.
From helping with the fair
judging to any of the fair build-
ing projects, large or small, he
was always there to jump right
in.
Over the years, Croker has
also given his time to the Lin-
coln Town Board as a supervi-
sor and to the National Rifle
Association as a hunter safety
instructor, teaching hundreds
of children safe gun handling
practices. Croker said he
enjoys hunting and shooting
with all of his grandchildren.

Health care fraud drives up costs for
everyone in the health care system and
endangers Medicares ability to serve
present and future gen-
erations.
The Vilas County
Commission on Aging
Elderly Benefit Specialist
program works with
Medicare beneficiaries
who believe they have
been victims of Medicare
fraud. The number of
reports always increases
during more difficult
economic times. Scam-
mers are skilled professionals and in
most cases the victim does not even real-
ize they are giving out their personal
information to a thief until they hang
up. These thieves count on their vic-
tims embarrassment at having been so
naive to fall for the scam that they dont
tell anyone.
Vilas County is recruiting volunteers
to expand the Wisconsin Senior Medi-
care Patrol (SMP) program
in our county. The pro-
gram's purpose is to educate
older adults receiving Medi-
care and Medicaid benefits
to prevent, detect, and report
health care fraud. SMP pro-
grams nationwide recruit
volunteers in the effort to
empower older adults to
protect themselves from
fraud, and are funded by the
United States Administra-
tion on Aging. Details on the Wisconsin
SMP program are available at www.wis-
consinsmp.org.
For more information or to volunteer
for the program, contact Judy Steinke
at (800) 488-2596, ext. 342 or
jsteinke@cwag.org.

on the various Medicare Part D drug plans to help you decide what is best for you.
They will also provide a comparison to SeniorCare, Wisconsins popular prescription
drug plan.
Call the Vilas County Commission on Aging helpline at 715-479-3727. Leave your
contact information. Someone will return your call to schedule an appointment.
We look forward to seeing you after October 15.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, this is the time of year you need
to make decisions on whether you want to:
1. return to original Medicare,
2. purchase a Medicare supplement policy to pay Medicare out-of-
pocket expenses
3. choose a different Medicare Advantage plan, or
4. choose different prescription drug coverage.
Volunteer home-delivered
meal drivers needed
in Eagle River area
For approximately 45 shut-in elderly
in the Eagle River area, the Commission
on Aging Home Delivered Meal pro-
gram is more than just a meal. Accord-
ing to Sue Richmond, Nutrition Coordi-
nator, the drivers are not just providing a
meal, but a service. They check on the
recipients to make sure they are OK and
are a link to the outside world.
Volunteer drivers are not paid for their
time, but do receive mileage reimburse-
ment. Richmond stated, Our drivers are
invaluable to us. I wish we could pay
them because they are worth far more
than the mileage reimbursement we are
able to give them. We could not operate
this program without our dedicated vol-
unteers.
The Kalmar Senior Center sends out
meals five days a week and has three
routes. It takes a volunteer about one and
one-half hours to do a route.
We are in need of a volunteer to deliv-
er meals at least two days a week. One
perk is the delicious meal waiting for the
driver when they return to the Kalmar
Center after completing their route. For
more information, please contact Sue
Richmond at (715) 479-3625.
Aging and disability resource center
of the Northwoods application complete
Following more than two years of
development, a completed application
to begin operation of the ADRC of the
Northwoods on January 1, 2012, has
been submitted to the State of Wiscon-
sin for review and approval. The
review process is expected to take
approximately 60 days and may
involve submission of additional mate-
rial to satisfy the requirements for cre-
ating an aging and disability resource
center.
Delegates from each of seven juris-
dictions completed work in late July on
the application. An Implementation
Team will be responsible for respond-
ing to questions posed by the review
committee. During the transition peri-
od between now and when the new
board is fully constituted, a work plan
with key tasks and time lines has been
created to guide the work of this group.
Efforts to recruit board members from
member jurisdictions as well as citizen
volunteers will begin as soon as the
Implementation Team completes its
work with the state review panel.
In recognition of the need for
ongoing education about the North-
woods region and how it will operate,
all planning group members have
agreed to share the newly created orga-
nizational overview with local commit-
tees and boards. Comments and feed-
back will be solicited and then forward-
ed to the Implementation Team.
The ADRC of the Northwoods
looks forward to serving the region!

The Vilas County Commis-
sion on Aging has announced
the formation of the Aging
and Disability Resource Cen-
ter (ADRC) of the North-
woods, a new organization
that will serve county resi-
dents and tribal members
within Vilas, Oneida, Forest
and Taylor counties starting
in 2012.
ADRC satellite locations
throughout the region will
serve as the primary source of
information, assistance and
access to community
resources for older people and
adults with disabilities, as
well as their families.
According to the commis-
sion, the government board
for the ADRC is required to
allow people who will use
ADRC services to have a voice
in the direction of the organi-
zation.
The organization is cur-
rently accepting applications
from citizens to serve on the
board to represent ADRC
clients in one of the following
consumer categories: Adults
60 and older; or Adults with a
disability (physical, develop-
mental, mental-health issues
or substance-use disorders).
Applicants to the board can
be an individual from one of
these categories or a family
member, guardian or other
advocate.
Selections for citizen mem-
bers on the board will be
made to achieve appropriate
representation from the vari-
ous ADRC consumer cate-
gories, as well as geographic
location in the ADRCs region.
Deadline to submit an
application is Wednesday, Oct.
19, by 4 p.m.
For more information and a
complete application packet
with details, contact Vilas
County Commission on Aging
at (715) 479-3626.

Little Pine Cones Lodge in Eagle River and Lit-

Little Pine Cones Lodge in
Eagle River and Little Acorns
Lodge in St. Germain raised a
combined $1,913 at two recent
Trike-A-Thon fundraisers for
St. Jude Childrens Research
Hospital.
Youths at the two day-care
centers, sponsored by friends,
relatives, neighbors and local
businesses, rode their tricycles
and bicycles for part of the day
to help raise money for St.
Jude, a pediatric cancer
research center.
The daily operating cost of
the hospital is $1.7 million, and
public donations from around
the world provide more than
70% of its funding.
The grand total for Little
Pine Cones Lodge Aug. 10 was
$1,055, while Little Acorns
raised $858 Aug. 11.
Fundraisers like the Trike-
A-Thon help provide the funds
that St. Jude needs in order to
ensure families never have to
pay for treatment that isnt
covered by insurance, and that
no child is denied because of a
familys inability to pay.
To organize a Trike-A-Thon,
call 1-(800) 626-BIKE (2453) or

The Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Centers radiol-
ogy department was recently remodeled to
install new magnetic resonance imaging equip-
ment. --Contributed Photo
Marshfield Clinic Minoc-
qua Centers radiology depart-
ment was recently remodeled
to allow for the installation of
new magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) equipment.
MRI is noninvasive imag-
ing of soft tissues, bones and
muscles. The exams are used
to help physicians diagnose a
wide range of medical issues,
from orthopedic and sports-
related injuries to breast and
other cancers. They are also
used for specialties like neu-
rology, angiography and cardi-
ology.
Weve had MRI technology
on site at Minocqua Center for
a number of years, but in
todays world, technology can
become outdated very quick-
ly, said Kris Slavinsky, man-
ager, radiology, Marshfield
Clinic Northern Division.
This new MRI offers our
patients the latest, most cur-
rent equipment and software,
providing patients faster,
more comfortable exams, and
physicians more accurate
images, stated Slavinsky.
The new MRI has a wider
open bore, which is the tube-
like structure where the
patient lies during the imag-
ing process, Slavinsky ex-
plained.
The wider bore can pro-
vide better comfort and access
for larger patients up to
550 pounds. Additionally, the
new MRI has a shorter bore,
which helps to alleviate con-
cerns patients may have
about claustrophobia, since
most exams can be performed
with the patients head out-
side of the bore, he added.
For more information, call
the Marshfield Clinic Minoc-
qua Center at (715) 358-1000
or 1-(800) 347-0673.

STATE OF WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO REIS-
SUE A WISCONSIN POLLUTANT DIS-
CHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (WPDES)
PERMIT No.WI-0063401-02-0
Permittee: Northernaire Condominium
Association, Inc., 6914 Bengs Road, Three
Lakes, WI 54562
Facility Where Discharge Occurs: Norther-
naire Sanitary District, 6914 Bengs Road
Three Lakes, Wsiconsin
Receiving Water and Location: The
Groundwater of the Eagle River Watershed
in the Upper Wisconsin River Drainage
Basin in Oneida County
Brief Facility Description and Summary of
Proposed Changes: The Northernaire Condo-
minium Association owns and operates a pri-
vate on-site wastewater treatment system
with a present annual average design flow of
10,240 gallons per day (gpd). After a gradual
four-phased expansion, the final annual
average design flow will be 30,000 gpd. The
second phase of the project may be complet-
ed during the next permit term, but is depen-
dent on the economy. The wastewater treat-
ment system consists of two trash (septic)
tanks to remove heavier solids followed by
three recirculation tanks that help equalize
the flow entering the Bio Microbics, Inc.
Micro Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment
(FAST) systems which provide biological
wastewater treatment. From the FAST units
the flow then goes back through the recircu-
lation tanks for more treatment or to the fil-
ter tank which is just prior to final disposal
in the absorption cells. The absorption cells
are designed to further treat the water as it
percolates down to the groundwater. There
are currently four monitoring wells around
the treatment system to identify any impacts
from the facility to groundwater.
The Department has tentatively decided
that the above specified WPDES permit
should be reissued. The proposed expiration
date will be December 31, 2016. Limitations
and conditions which the Department
believes adequately protect the receiving
water are included in the proposed permit.
The only change to this permit is enough
groundwater data was collected during the
past permit term that the groundwater pre-
ventative action limits (PAL) could be calcu-
lated and added.

permit. Anyone providing comments in

sion when the permit is issued. Where desig-
nated as a reviewable surface water dis-
charge permit, the U.S. Environmental Pro-
tection Agency is allowed up to 90 days to

anyone, including U.S. EPA, the permit will

The Oneida County UW-
Extension office and the Fami-
ly Resource Connection will
partner with the YMCA of the
Northwoods to present a par-
enting workshop in October
and November.
The workshop, Raising a
Thinking Child, will take place
at the Rhinelander YMCA
Thursdays from 5:30 to 7 p.m.,
Oct. 6 through Nov. 17.
Free child care will be avail-
able at the YMCA for those reg-
istered for the course.
Raising a Thinking Child
aims to help parents teach chil-
dren as young as 4 to 7 years
old to think for themselves in
new ways.
During this workshop, par-
ents will learn skills to teach
young children how to solve
problems and resolve daily con-
flicts, explore alternative solu-
tions and their consequences
and consider the feelings of
others.
The program helps shy chil-
dren become more assertive
and impulsive children to cope
with frustration when things
dont go their way, said Oneida
County family living educator
Erica Brewster. The skills chil-
dren learn can prevent or
reduce early behaviors that
predict later problems such as
violence, abuse and depres-
sion.
Workshop co-facilitators
include Brewster and Deb
Blackstone, director of the
Family Resource Connection in
Rhinelander.
To register or to request a
program brochure, contact
Brewster at (715) 365-2750 or

Thursday, Sept. 15.
The $25 registration fee is
refundable if a participant
attends at least six of the seven
sessions. A program brochure is

Three Lakes Center for the
Arts in the Northwoods
(TLCFA) recently raised more
than $14,000 at its fifth annu-
al Affair of the Arts event.
The event featured the
Fiesta Ball, which was pre-
sented with a Latin theme.
Carrie and Harry Strickland
prepared authentic dishes
from south of the border,
while The Fine Line from
Boulder Junction performed
the music.
Much of the evenings focus
at the Three Lakes Reiter
Center was the silent auction
of donated art and items from
individuals and local busi-
nesses.
Board member Jim Cowee
was master of ceremonies for
a live auction, which featured
an original abstract watercol-
or painting of downtown
Three Lakes by Vicki Morley,
another TLCFA director.
Board President Linda
Woiak announced a list of
wants and needs for the not-
for-profit art center, ranging
from a $55,000 state-mandat-
ed sprinkler system to cases
of popcorn for the theater.
One donor underwrote the
2012 summer childrens art
program for $600, and anoth-
er supporter offered $1,000
anonymously if 10 matching
gifts of $100 were donated.
Organizers said the goal was
met within minutes.
Plans are under way for the
2012 ball, according to event
organizers.

Northwoods Petroleum
Museum in Three Lakes was
featured in the Sept. 5 issue of
Auto Week Magazine, which
was founded in Detroit in
1958 and has 285,000 sub-
scribers worldwide.
Museum owner Ed Jacob-
sen was surprised by the arti-
cle, saying he wasnt informed
it would be published. He only
learned of its existence
through the many phone calls
he received.
Im proud to have good
publicity about Three Lakes
in any publication, especially
a national magazine as large
as Auto Week, said Jacobsen.
Since the article ran, the
museum has seen an increase
in fall business due to the
Auto Week subscribers in the
North Woods. Jacobsen said
hes had people visit the
museum from Minocqua,
Phelps, Sayner, Milwaukee
and Madison because of the
article.
The article was written and
photographed by Contribut-
ing Editor Phil Berg, who also
runs the car enthusiast Ulti-
mateGarages.com website.
Bergs company also offers a
two-volume hardbound edition
of featured garages with open-
ing comments by Jay Leno.
Good news about Three
Lakes keeps popping up
nationally from the likes of
Budweiser, Kraft and now
Auto Week, and thats a good
thing, said Jacobsen.

A $2-per-vehicle fee to be
charged for use of St. Germain
yard waste facility was one of
seven action items approved
at the Sept. 12 town board
meeting.
The yard waste facility,
located on Juve Road, will be
open this fall from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. every Friday and Satur-
day for five weeks beginning
Oct. 14.
Leaves, small tree branches
or bushes and other yard and
garden waste will be accepted.
The Public Works Commit-
tee recommended the fee to
subsidize the cost of manning
the site to prevent illegal
dumping. The board had some
discussion about keeping the
site open without supervision.
Supervisor Fred Radtke,
who has been in charge of the
site for several years, coun-
tered that the contractor
hired to provide chipping of
the waste had problems with
sand, gravel and other illegal
items that were dumped with
yard waste, which caused
problems with his chipper.
Radtke also reported that
the compost pile being accu-
mulated is in good shape and
will be available for residents
use next spring.
The motion was approved
by a vote of 3-2 with Supervi-
sors Camp, Christensen and
Radtke voting in favor and
Bates and Vojta voting against.
The use of old plastic
garbage bags was another
action item that generated
considerable discussion. Many
residents still take their
garbage to the town transfer
station in the old $2 Town of
St. Germain bags. The station
is now under a new contract
with Eagle Waste with a $3-
per-30-pounds charge per bag.
In a letter sent to the town
board, Eagle Waste main-
tained that the town owed
them a $3,962 fee for the
acceptance of the old bags
since they took over the ser-
vice in July. In the same letter,
Eagle Waste also submitted a
proposal to purchase the old
compactor for $4,000.
Radtke moved and John
Vojta seconded a motion that
the use of the old garbage
bags will no longer be accept-
ed at the transfer site as of
Oct. 1, and that the town sell
the compactor to Eagle Waste
for $4,000 with the under-
standing that there will be no
further charges for old bags.
The motion was unanimously
approved.
In other actions on the
boards agenda, the board
approved putting up a handi-
capped child sign and a 25-
mph speed limit sign on Sun-
set Boulevard to provide
added protection for the care-
giver and the handicapped
child to use a motorized
wheelchair in the area.
Since the cost of the signs
was not currently in the town
budget, Patricia Falkenstern,
who was in attendance at the
meeting, offered to pay for the
two signs so they could be
immediately installed.
Town Chairman Walt
Camp proposed rejuvenating
an old town generator to be
hooked up to the public works
building so that the gas
pumps, lights and doors could
be operated in case of a power
outage. The board approved
the proposal as long as the
generator could be placed in
working order for a reason-
able cost.
Ellen Allen reported to the
board that the Friends of the
Red Brick Schoolhouse and
Red Brick Schoolhouse Inc.
have combined to form a new
group which has chosen the
name Supporters of the Old
School Building.
Allen stated that the new
group felt that it was time for
the town board to make a
decision so that the public
landmark could remain stand-
ing. She said that the public
is reluctant to contribute to
renovating the building with-
out town support.
Supervisor Lee Chris-
tensen suggested that the
group prepare a resolution
concerning the preservation of
the 1941 portion of the build-
ing for placement on the Octo-
ber town board agenda for
action.
A motion to consider an
employee grievance resolution
was tabled by the board after
Radtke moved to table the
action. He requested more
time to review the grievance
proposal since it would not
take effect until Jan. 1, 2012.
In a final action item, the
board appointed Nancy Neff
to a new five-year term on the
St. Germain Housing Authori-
ty, beginning in September
2011 and ending in Septem-
ber 2016. All apartments in
the senior housing units are
currently rented.
Under committee reports,
Fire Chief Tim Clark reported
25 calls in August, which
included fires, gas leaks, trees
down, accidents, medical
assistance and a false alarm.
Clark was concerned about
the number of false alarms
the department is receiving
and suggested that some fur-
ther action be taken.
Clark also reported that
the 2-year-old Pierce fire
truck is now problem free. The
fire department has been con-
ducting pump and hose test-
ing and is currently conduct-
ing an inventory.
The department now has
28 members, and is always
looking for new volunteer
members.
Camp updated progress on
the St. Germain Bike and
Hike Trail by confirming that
the town would be able to
extend the trail from South
Bay Road to Old Highway 70
using town crew work to pro-
vide matching dollars to a
$17,000 Department of Natu-
ral Resources grant.
Christensen reported that
golf course use has been good
and the town crew has been
helping with repair projects.
The Golf Course Committee is
finalizing a plan to refinance
$500,000 of the town debt on
the golf course.
Jack Santerelli, the new
town constable, provided a
detailed report on his activi-
ties, which included 14 dog
calls, one accident, seven road
calls, eight traffic stops, nine
vandalism to vehicle calls,
four traffic control calls, three
disorderly conduct calls, 13
underage drinking calls and
15 mailbox vandalism calls.
He reported 70 hours of
patrolling at the towns flea
market and 13 hours at the
Pig in the Pines festival. He
expressed concern about the
inability to ticket offenders
and asked the board to look
into the matter.
Supervisor Bill Bates,
chairman of the Planning and
Zoning Committee, is current-
ly working on a cemetery ordi-
nance.
He also told the board that
the Town Lakes Committee
conducted a two-hour annual
public meeting with Onterra
consultants providing
progress on the lakes grant.
Under citizens concerns
and nonappointed committee
reports, Verdelle Mauthe
reported an attendance of 79
at the PrimeTimers Septem-
ber meeting and 100 at its
annual picnic. The Prime-
Timers donated $250 for
repainting the community
center gym.
Gary Guyman expressed
concern about allowing dogs
at the flea market, observing
that it was just a matter of
time before someone got bit.
Phil Monday reported con-
cern about bike trail riders
crossing Highway 70 at the
bridge on Highway 70 West.
He almost hit a group of rid-
ers crossing the highway at
the bridge, instead of using
the path down the hill and
using the bridge underpass
provided for bike trail riders.
He urged the Bike and Hike
Committee to review the situ-
ation.
Mike Davidson asked the
town to do something about
the abandoned property at the
corner of Normandy Court
Road and Highway 70.
Rosalie Sherwin submitted
a list of questions she would
like answered to the town
chairman. Camp responded
that he would promptly
answer her questions in writ-
ing. Falkenstern wanted infor-
mation on Boyd Bests posi-
tion as deputy town clerk.
Town Clerk Tom Martens
listed the following upcoming
town meetings that will be
held at the Community Cen-
ter: October town board meet-
ing Monday, Oct. 10, at 5 p.m.;

Phelps School District saw
exceptional advanced place-
ment (AP) U.S. history scores
for the second year in a row
during the 2010-11 school
year, according to a recent
report.
The College Board, who
monitors the test and assess-
ment, released the findings in
July, revealing that Phelps
students scored above the
national average in all nine
categories.
Phelps students Emma
Korinek and Ross Samuelson
obtained high enough scores
on the AP U.S. history exam to
earn college credit.
Dean of Students Jason Per-
tile administered the exam in
May. It consisted of 80 multi-
ple-choice questions, two essay
questions and a document-
based question in which stu-
dents constructed an essay
using only primary sources
and their background knowl-
edge of the subject matter.
The scores that Emma and
Ross achieved are a true tes-
tament to what can be
obtained when students put
their mind to something and
work hard, said Phelps histo-
ry teacher Alex Sjogren.
These two students worked
all year long studying an
enormous amount of content.
They spent two weeks prior to
the test studying as hard as
they could, and their hard
work paid off.
Sjogren said the college
credit will give the students a
head start.
Both of these students will
graduate this year and will
have a history class already
under their belt, he said.

The 16th annual Phelps
Volunteer Fire Department
prime rib dinner is scheduled
Saturday, Oct. 8, at Hillside
Resort, located on Lac Vieux
Desert at 2474 South Shore
Road in Phelps.
Dinner will be served from
4:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The cost is $20 and tickets
can be purchased from all
Phelps volunteer firefighters
and at Phelps business out-
lets, including Sand Lake
Pub, Northern Exposure, First
National Bank, Phelps Conve-
nience Center, Village Barber,
Holiday Lodge and The Great
Escape.
This is an important
fundraiser for our volunteers
because we work hard to gen-
erate sufficient funds to buy a
badly needed tanker truck to
replace our current pumper
tanker that has been in use
for the last 30 years, said
Phelps Fire Chief Steve Waier.
We take special pride in
this dinner because we feel
Hillside Resort serves the
very best prime rib in the
North Woods, Waier. It all
started with Rob Andersen
Jr., who has, for more than 30
years, been a volunteer mem-
ber of our fire department. As
the previous owner of Hillside
Resort, Rob had developed his
own special recipe for cooking
prime rib. It is a family secret
he passed along to his son,
Robbie Andersen III, who now
owns and operates Hillside.
Robbie Anderson said Hill-
side is just doing its part to
support the department.
We are happy to handle
the annual prime rib dinner
for the Phelps firefighters, he
said. We do take pride in our
special prime rib. Using my
dads special recipe, we slow
cook the meat overnight and
it comes out to perfection.
Waier said the firefighters
also are a big help at the
fundraiser.
It is always a special night
for our volunteers who jump
in to don aprons to serve as
assistant cooks, waiters, wait-
resses, busboys and dishwash-
ers and, believe me, they do a
great job, said Waier. During
the course of the evening, the
firefighters sell 50-50 draw-
ings which help us to raise
extra funds that help us to
provide emergency fire-fight-
ing service to the families in
the town of Phelps, as well as
providing assistance to the
communities of Conover, Land
O Lakes, Alvin, Nelma and
Iron River, Mich.
Last year, the firefighters,
who are on call 24 hours a day,
responded to 46 fire emergen-
cies.
In addition to the response
to fires, our volunteers make
many calls to road accidents
and are always available to
assist our Phelps Volunteer
Ambulance Service when the
emergency medical techni-
cians (EMTs) may require
special assistance, said
Waier. I know that last year,
Carole Selin and her staff of
EMTs responded to 198 calls,
and we were ready to assist
whenever we were needed to
help.
The prime rib dinner will
include soup, salad, baked
potato and dessert. Beverages
will be available at the Hill-
side Resort bar.

Employment Handbook work session
The Board started working on the Employ-
ment Handbook.
Pay Periods Board said keep them the
same on the 1st and 15th of each month
Benefits section work on draft:
Board said begin the 12% health insur-
ance deduction for all staff on January 1,
2012.
Mike Jovanovic arrived at 4:45 p.m.
Alternate benefit section: Mike Richie not-
ed he checked with Steve Kolling and he said
if you add 32 more people the first year there
is no impact on premium because there is no
claims base; however, it could impact the
premiums for the next year if these 32 people
had a lot of claims. Remember it could also
go down if overall claims were better. Richie
indicated right now we are expecting an
increase to premiums of about 3% in Octo-
ber.
Mike Sealander arrived at 4:50 p.m.
Board continued discussing alternate
benefit and then said it will be $5,000 and we
need to add a line indicating that the
employee must show proof of other insur-
ance.
Board said begin the 12% dental insur-
ance deduction for all staff on January 1,
2012.
Board said begin Wisconsin Retirement
System (WRS) deduction on September 1,
2011, for all certified employees and non-rep-
resented employees.
Board said begin the Wisconsin Retire-
ment System (WRS) deduction for NEST I
and NEST II employees on January 1, 2012;
the reason for this is that they still have col-
lective bargaining agreements in effect until
December 31, 2011.
Board said keep the retirement plan for
Health and Dental benefits as outlined in the
draft.
Board said sick leave incentive $50 per
day for accrued sick days up to 120 to be giv-
en at time of retirement as a lump sum pay-
ment at retirement or within one year of
retirement (so as to lessen the taxes on the
payment)
Board said keep Flex, life insurance, and
long term disability as is
Board said they need clarification on
Long Term Care as currently WEA requires
100% participation of teachers to keep this
active; however, if teachers choose to opt out
of the union and they no longer have 100%
participation will that cancel the LTD poli-
cy? This will be tabled until we can get clar-
ification.
Board said COBRA stays in as it is law
and COBRA also covers the surviving spouse
issue
Board said Leaves of Absence (extended
leaves) section can remain as is
Board said on mileage pay full rate for
traveling teachers who are required to do
interdistrict traveling as part of their job
noting we only have a few traveling teach-
ers; but only pay half the federal rate for
conferences/workshops within the state.
Board said maternity leave may not bor-
row from sick bank. Obviously they may use
their own accrued sick leave for maternity
leave.
Board said child rearing leave, jury
duty, personal leave, bereavement leave, mil-
itary leave good as is. Sick leave 12 days and
can accrue up to 120
Board said add perfect attendance
incentive section in.
