Relaxing can mean
rocketing down a snow-
covered trail, powder fly-
ing. Thats one conclusion
of research released by a
first-ever collaborative
marketing project to pro-
mote the North Woods.
Bringing area cham-
bers of commerce, county
tourism officials and busi-
ness owners together for
the first time, the project
includes Vilas, Oneida,
Lincoln, Langlade and
Forest counties.
People relax in a
whole lot of ways, said
Diane Hapka, president
of the Oneida County
Tourism Council. While
we might think that
snowmobiling is more
about excitement than
relaxation, our surveys
say travelers think differ-
ently. And its these kinds
of insights that are going
to shape our regions mar-
keting for
years to
come.
T h e
p r o j e c t
gat hered
data on
what peo-
ple think
of the five
c o unt i e s
involved, where travelers
are staying and what
activities people are most
excited about. More than
2,500 prospective and
existing travelers, lodging
owners and other stake-
holders participated in
the projects surveys. For
those in the areas critical
tourism industry, the
results are a gold mine.
Numerous chambers of
commerce across the
region are set to benefit
from the research. Tamra
Anderson, executive
Marketing project
to promote North
Travel expenditures in
Vilas and Oneida counties
totaled more than $450 mil-
lion in 2010, and that number
is expected to increase if the
new Wisconsin Tourism secre-
tary has anything to say about
it.
Stephanie Klett, named
Wisconsin Tourism secretary
last winter, said the state is
making big strides when it
comes to tourism marketing
efforts.
Klett said Department of
Tourism accomplishments
already in 2011 have included
increasing funding for mar-
keting the state, expanding
earned media opportunities,
reopening welcome centers,
reorganizing the department
and working with other agen-
cies.
A vital accomplishment
was Gov. Scott Walker and the
state Legislature increasing
the tourism budget by $2.5
million per year over the
2012-13 biennium a 20%
increase, said Klett. That
will put us at $15 million in
two years.
Klett compared that figure
to Michigan, which spends $30
million annually, and to Illi-
nois, which spends $48 million
annually, to attract tourists to
their states.
Wisconsin also scrapped
introducing new slogans and
logos and launched the Pic-
ture the Fun campaign last
summer with three new tele-
vision commercials, including
one cameo from Henry Win-
kler, a Wisconsin native.
We expanded our earned
media opportunities in public
relations since Jan. 1, 2011,
achieving $30 million in
earned media, said Klett. We
had more than 1,400 newspa-
per clips with stories promot-
ing Wisconsin.
The state also hosted more
than 100 travel writers and
editors in the last 12 months
for both individual and group
press tours, and more are com-
ing to the North Woods,
according to Klett.
There will be 25 travel
writers coming to Eagle River
this January, she said. They
will be visiting Eagle River,
Wausau and Minocqua, three
communities that offer many
winter recreational opportuni-
ties. Nobody does it better
when it comes to winter recre-
ation.
Klett said the department
also reopened the states busi-
est welcome center located at
the Beloit rest area on I-90/94
through a partnership with
the Department of Trans-
portation, a center that
recently had 8,000 visitors in
just five days.
We also have developed
public-private partnerships to
ensure that our travelers are

PHELPS Using paved
portions of Vilas County high-
ways for all-terrain vehicle
(ATV) travel was not support-
ed by two county committees,
but using highway right of
way for the proposed town of
Phelps ATV route sytem will
be studied.
That was the decision of a
joint meeting of the countys
Highway Committee and
Forestry and Land Committee
last Tuesday, meeting with
the Phelps Town Board who
requested using a total of 11
miles of county highways A
and E for ATV travel to con-
nect portions of town roads for
an ATV route.
After two hours of dis-
cussing safety and liability
issues of operating ATVs on a
paved road, the joint commit-
tees voted 7-1 to direct county
staff to work with the town
board in studying using high-
way right of way for ATV trav-
el.
County officials said the
width of the right of way on
both highways A and E varies
from a low of 66 feet to a max-
imum of 200 feet. The rights
of way are owned by the coun-
ty, not requiring a private
easement agreement.

Snowmobile trails in Vilas
County officially opened Mon-
day, but more cold and snow
are needed to make trails
rideable, according to trail
officials.
Dale Mayo, Vilas County
snowmobile trail coordinator,
said Tuesday morning that all
trails have been inspected and
gates are open.
We are ready to go and the
trails are safe to ride from an
inspection standpoint, said
Mayo. Unfortunately, Mother
Nature is not cooperating. Its
just a matter of conditions.
In Oneida County, forest
administrator John Bilogan
said trails have not opened in
the county and probably wont
be open by this weekend.

warm temperatures, and the

ATV: landowners protected from liability
FROM PAGE 1
ing-room-only crowd in the
Phelps Fire Station, Forestry
and Land Committee Chair-
man Steve Favorite explained
why the joint committees were
meeting.
Weve received a written
request from the town board to
use county highways A and E
for possible ATV routes,
Favorite said. Were not in a
rush. We may or may not reach
a decision today. There are two
main concerns being expressed
safety and liability.
Favorite, who also is county
board chairman, said he
requested Vilas County Sheriff
Frank Tomlanovich to analyze
the safety aspect of ATV travel
on county highways and county
Corporation Counsel Martha
Milanowski to address the lia-
bility issues.
In a Nov. 15 letter, Tom-
lanovich admitted the county
has the authority to designate
the roads as ATV routes, but
suggested using right of way
rather than the paved portion
of the two highways, particu-
larly during summer months
when there is higher traffic vol-
ume.
I believe we have to consid-
er the potential impact of
comingling ATV and motor
vehicle traffic on these roads,
particularly on Highway E
from the village area to Kellog-
gs Road, the sheriff wrote.
From my perspective, the
routes should utilize the coun-
ty right of way to the greatest
extent possible rather than the
paved roadway.
Tomlanovich recognized
some exceptions should allow
travel on the paved portions to
cross bridges, wetlands and
other obstacles, with appropri-
ate signing. He also wanted
authority to temporarily close
a portion of a route should a
hazardous or potentially dan-
gerous situation arise.
Favorite said Milanowskis
response on liability was relat-
ed to Chapter 895.52 of Wis-
consin Statutes, commonly
known as the recreational
immunity law, which grants
protection for landowners from
liability so long as no fee or
malicious act occurs.
Two county employees
Jarred Maney, interim high-
way commissioner, and Dale
Mayo, county trails coordinator
provided their views.
My biggest concern is safe-
ty and I prefer to use off-paved
portions or shoulders and have
no problem using the right of
way, said Maney.
Mayo commented on the
costs of using roads versus
trails.
The snowmobile and ATV
programs mirror each other
where registration and gas tax-
es for development and main-
tenance go through the county,
Mayo said. If on the paved por-
tion, we wouldnt have to be
involved. For development,
there is $450 per mile.
Mayo noted the U.S. Forest
Service management plan
allows for collaboration with
local governments to look at
classifying roads for ATV use,
while Wisconsin Department of
Transportation does not allow
them, but have made some
allowance on right of way for
connectivity.
Steve Rhode, chairman of
the town of Conover, said he
wanted the county to make a
decision on allowing ATVs on
county highways before we
put a lot of time into this. Tell
us what we can and cant do.
Supervisor views
Each county supervisor was
given the opportunity to
express how they felt about the
Phelps request to use county
highway segments for ATV
use.
I have mixed emotions,
said Sig Hjemvick, who lives in
Phelps and owns an ATV. His
background is in law enforce-
ment, most recently as chief of
police for Eagle River.
I have a safety concern of
allowing 12-year-olds to drive
an ATV on our roads when you
cant drive another motor vehi-
cle, he said. Its irresponsible
for age 12 on pavement and I
struggle with that.
Collin Snook, Phelps town
chairman, replied that par-
ents have to take responsibility
and how far should govern-
ment reach into family mat-
ters?
Snook also said having a
sunset clause would give his
board an opportunity to make
corrections if safety issues
develop.
Supervisor Ralph Sitzberger
of Land O Lakes said he would
prefer a trail system rather
than a road system.
The right of way would be
OK, but we have a county
board resolution of no ATVs on
county-owned lands, Sitzberg-
er reminded his colleagues.
That resolution would have to
be changed, altered or
dropped.
The county board autho-
rized an advisory countywide
referendum, voted on in Febru-
ary 2004, asking voters if they
favored allowing ATVs on
Vilas County forest lands and
county-owned land. The result
was 5,457 against and 3,200 in
favor.
That 2004 vote was followed
by a county board resolution
recognizing the results of the
referendum and shall continue
Vilas Countys policy of pro-
hibiting ATVs on county-
owned lands and county forest
lands.
Supervisor Charles Rayala
Jr. of Manitowish Waters also
favored looking at rights of
way, while Supervisor Ron
DeBruyne of Arbor Vitae said
Tomahawk and Park Falls
allow use of streets for ATVs.
I dont see body parts lying
around in Tomahawk and if
they can comingle there, they
can comingle here, said
DeBruyne, adding trying ATV
routes in Phelps is an excel-
lent idea.
Supervisor Bob Egan of
Eagle River said he sides with
the town of Phelps.
This is a Phelps issue and I
only look at those (letters) from
Phelps, said Egan. I dont
think Presque Isle or Manitow-
ish Waters should dictate what
happens in Phelps.
being served in key locations
with consistent standards of
customer service, said Klett.
After Klett took over as
Tourism Secretary in January
of 2011, the department reorga-
nized with 30 employees and
developed tools for the states
four regional tourism special-
ists, including a Power of
Tourism presentation.
I personally met with every
state senator to tell them the
importance of tourism to the
state of Wisconsin, said Klett.
In addition, Klett, the deputy
secretary and industry services
director have visited nearly all
72 counties since Jan. 1,
spreading the word about
tourism.
Klett is not new to the indus-
try, as she traveled the state as
the 17-year host of the Discov-
er Wisconsin television series
highlighting things to do and
see across the state.
She said the department
presented more than two dozen
grants to tourism organizations
in 2011, including a $39,550
grant to the Grow North Desti-
nation Marketing Develop-
ment, $25,760 to the Eagle Riv-
er Festival of Flavors, $12,865
to the Wisconsin Winery Tour
program shared by Oneida
County and 24 other counties,
and $7,500 to the St. Germain
Chamber of Commerce for the
Summers End Half
Marathon/5K and Paddle Bat-
tle.
We also have a renewed
emphasis on tourism partner-
ships with all 11 Native Ameri-
can sovereign nations, said
Klett. Theres so much more
than gaming when it comes to
our sovereign nations, includ-
ing powwows, fishing, the arts,
museums and their culture.
Tourism spending
Klett said travelers to Vilas
County spent $255 million in
2010, up 1.29% over 2009. She
said Vilas County ranks 10th
statewide for tourism spending.
What you are doing here is
phenomenal, said Klett. You
dont have the population base
of a Milwaukee, Madison or
Green Bay, but yet you rank
10th in the state.
Klett said the figures trans-
late to 6,019 full-time-equiva-
lent jobs for Vilas County resi-
dents. It also means $13 million
in local revenue and $31 mil-
lion in state revenue.
In Oneida County, tourism
spending dropped slightly to
$202 million in 2010, a
decrease of 1.46%. The county
still ranked 16th statewide for
tourism spending.
With Minocqua already a
key tourism destination and
Rhinelander gaining ground,
the industry supported 4,868
full-time-equivalent jobs in
Oneida County. It also meant
$10 million in local revenue
and $20 million in state rev-
enue.

Eagle River chamber names
Pittelko, Jensen citizens of year
Gaffney receives
volunteer award
Members of the Eagle River
Area Chamber of Commerce &
Visitors Center honored Mary
Pittelko and Phil Jensen as
the Woman of the Year and
Man of the Year, respectively,
at the organizations annual
banquet last Thursday.
More than 100 chamber
members attended the ban-
quet at Eagle Waters Resort,
where the highlight of the
evening was the presentation
of the Man and Woman of the
Year awards.
Christine Caz, 2010 Woman
of the Year, presented the 2011
award to Pittelko for her vol-
unteerism to the chamber
over many years.
Our Woman of the Years
passions are many and her
interests are broad, said Caz.
She can be seen at almost all
the area events and fundrais-
ers quietly in the background
using her talent for volunteer
coordination, decorating the
downtown park for Christmas
or driving a really mean golf
cart.
Pittelko, who donates her
time to Klondike Days, Jour-
neys Marathon, Paul Bunyan
Fest, Cranberry Fest, Festival
of Flavors, the Fourth of July
parade and Northwoods Relay
for Life among others, said she
was honored to receive the
distinction.
Its very overwhelming
actually, she said. I feel hum-
bled because theres a lot of
people who probably deserve
this award as much or more
than me. But Im grateful. Its
a great community and ever-
bodys so accepting and loving,
which makes it easy to go out
and volunteer to do things.
Pittelko also worked with
the Eagle River Business
Associations eagle project, the
Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Ducks Unlimited and she
recently negotiated hardware
discounts for a new point-of-
sale system at Northwoods
Childrens Museum. She also
donated her time for training,
start up and support of the
new system.
Her friends love her, call-
ing her strong, smart and
quick witted, said Caz. Those
who volunteer alongside her
conBsider her inspiring and
awesome.
Barry McLeane, last years
Man of the Year, presented the
2011 Man of the Year award to
Jensen, whose vision and com-
mitment to the new Olson
Memorial Library project was
described as inspirational.
Hes worked with the Cap-
ital Campaign cabinet to raise
these monies without using a
single dollar of taxpayer
funds, said McLeane. Were
fortunate to call him one of
our own. Hes a critical
thinker and exhibits the finest
of leadership values.
Jensen said it had been
about 10 years since his
retirement to the area.
Its the best decision Ive
ever made, he said. This
town is the little engine that
can. The project weve got
going right now is to get a new
library in town. A lot of you
people here are involved in
that project. We all share a
passion for what a library can
do for a community.
Jensen was a United Air-
lines Captain for 37 years. He
is deeply involved in First
Congregational United
Church of Christ in Eagle Riv-
er, and is part of Northwoods
Singers and the Greater Eagle
River Tennis Association.
As a volunteer, Jensen
works as an Eagle River
Rotarian and donates his time
to Klondike Days, Cranberry
Fest, wine and cheese
fundraiser, highway cleanup
and The Salvation Army as a
bell ringer.
He is an Eagle Lake Associ-
ation board member and is
part of the Eagle River Union
Airport Public Relations Com-
mittee.
Jensen also served seven
years on the Howard Young
Foundation board and five
years on the Corporate
Howard Young Health Care
board. He has been a leading
advocate in making sure Min-
istry Eagle River Memorial
Hospital has current equip-
ment and staff.
Thank you so much, Im
totally stunned, said Jensen
regarding the award. I give
you my eternal gratitude.
Volunteer of the Year
Tim Gaffney was named
the 2011 Volunteer of the Year
at the annual banquet.
Gaffney said he was both sur-
prised and honored to be the
recipient of the chambers
award.
In such a volunteer-based
community, it feels like I do
such a small part, he said.
But I guess everybody does
their part in this community. I
never expected to win this
award, thats for sure.
The Volunteer of the Year
award was created to recog-
nize people who help to make
the Eagle River chamber of
commerce and its programs
better.
Each year, the staff of the
chamber chooses a volunteer
who has assisted in making a
difference, said chamber
executive director Connie
Heeg. Its really hard to
choose just one volunteer, as
each and every one of our vol-
unteers are greatly appreciat-
ed for all they do.
Gaffney was honored for his
enthusiasm, hard work and
willingness to help do whatev-
er is needed.
Hes very giving of his
time, said Heeg. And he
doesnt mind helping with the
not-so-clean jobs. Hes a great
motivator of others and he
sticks around to make sure
everything is finished.
Gaffney, who has been an
active volunteer at the cham-
ber for many years, said he
enjoys giving his time to area
events.
Its such a great volunteer-
ing community and everybody
is a part of it, he said. I dont
know why I deserve it, but Im
honored.
Mary Pittelko was named Woman of the Year
and Phil Jensen was recognized as Man of the
Year at the Eagle River Area Chamber of Com-
merce & Visitors Center banquet last Thursday
at Eagle Waters.

Town boards in Lincoln,
Cloverland and Washington
recently approved operational
budgets and tax levies for
2012, with no property tax
levy increasing more than
0.8%.
Levy changes were minimal
because new construction in
the three towns amounted to
3% or less. Towns are given
levy limits by the Department
of Revenue amounting to the
lesser of either a total 3%
increase over the previous
year or the value of the munic-
ipalitys new construction.
Shared revenue from the
state also is down in all three
municipalities, forcing town
board officials to balance bud-
gets with less income.
Lincoln budgeted an extra
$195,502 for road projects,
while Cloverland was able to
save nearly $90,000 from the
Otter Rapids bridge removal
project. Washington held the
line on the majority of its bud-
get items, and the tax levy will
remain the same as in 2011.
Lincoln roadwork
The town of Lincoln didnt
use all of its transportation
funds from 2011, according to
Town Clerk Shelly Sauvola.
We didnt use everything
this year, enough for about a
mile of road, she said. We
rolled those funds into next
years budget so we can do the
road next year.
Lincoln Chairman Dick
Stoegbauer said the town
hopes to get to the road proj -
ects this year.
We try to do the whole
piece of road at once, rather
than just a section, he said.
So we held it over. If you did
it by sections, youd have to go
through all the hoops twice.
Compared to many other
municipalities in the state,
Stoegbauer said the budget in
Lincoln is one of the most rea-
sonable as far as costs go
because the town doesnt have
to pay operating costs for a
town crew.
Largely due to the rolling of
unused transportation funds
to next years budget, Lin-
colns projected expenditures
for 2012 will rise roughly 28%
from the actual budget of
2011. If the town takes on
road construction, expenses
are expected to rise to
$374,500 from this years
$178,998.
Meanwhile, property taxes
levied will increase $3,600
from 2011 to $431,000. The
Department of Revenue
allowed the 0.8% increase
because of new construction in
Lincoln.
Cloverland saves
In Cloverland, new con-
struction allowed for only a
$900 increase in the tax levy
for 2012, amounting to a 0.3%
increase compared to this
year. Property taxes levied in
2012 will amount to $292,079.
Our income is going down,
but we couldnt levy more,
said Cloverland Town Clerk
Millie Ritzer.
However, after receiving a
lower bid than expected on the
Otter Rapids bridge removal
project, the town was able to
roll $89,311 into next years
budget.
We were building a reserve
because wed been given an
estimate that it would cost
about $150,000 to remove the
bridge, said Ritzer. They did
the actual removal for
$70,000.
Changes in the budget for
the Lakes Committee can be
attributed to grant funds
received by the committee.
For the Lakes Committee,
we had actually set aside
$5,000 for Boot Lake, said
Ritzer. They ended up getting
a grant, so were not going to
use that.
Ritzer also explained the
reason for changes in the plan
commision budget line, saying
the town redid its land-use
plan through the North Cen-
tral Regional Planning Com-
mission.
Projected expenditures in
Cloverland are $499,297 for
2012, down 3.3% from last
years $516,581.
Washington holds line
The 2012 budget in Wash-
ington will remain nearly the
same as this year.
While Washington Chair-
man Jim Spring said the town
is in good financial condition
and has had little trouble cov-
ering for revenue reductions,
he added that next year could
be a different story.
Next year is when well
start running into problems,
because the state is cutting
back more next year than
this, he said. But in general
were OK with what the state
is doing, budgetwise.
Spring said the town has its
road budget ready to go with-
out a hitch in 2012.
Were not making any
major purchases, of course,
but its going well, he said.
Were careful to make sure
weve got extra money
around.
Heavy maintenance costs
this year are the reason for a
$5,472 capital outlay expense
on the budget for 2012, accord-
ing to Spring.
We did more roadwork
than we expected to do, so we
pulled some of that money out
of the equipment fund to get a
balance on the budget, he
said. We started a capital
equipment fund probably six
years ago, and try to put about
$5,000 or $10,000 a year into
that.
The proposed budget
expenses for 2012 in Washing-
ton total $984,165, a 5%
decrease from this year. The
property tax levy for the town
will remain about the same at
$642,732.

The Eagle River City Coun-
cil adopted its 2012 budget last
week that increases total
spending by $77,000, but the
city portion of the property tax
levy will remain the same as
last year at $1.28 million.
After no residents appeared
at the required public hearing
on the budget, the council
approved the preliminary
totals without change. The
council also approved the tax
rate for the Business Improve-
ment District (BID) requested
by the BID board of directors.
Total spending will be $2.67
million for 2012 with total rev-
enues expected to be $1.39 mil-
lion, leaving the city tax levy at
$1.28 million.
According to city Clerk Deb-
bie Brown, the estimated mill
rate will be $7.49 per $1,000 of
assessed value. This is seven
cents lower than this year.
City Administrator Joe Laux
pointed out the increased
spending is due to the city
reconstruction of Silver Lake
Road and Highway 70 West,
which the city borrowed
$75,000 to supplement antici-
pated state and federal fund-
ing.
The city is also funding the
bathrooms at the depot in
2012, Laux said. We have
added $3,000 for a new election
machine and will put $15,000
into a segregated fund to pur-
chase a squad car for the police
department. The remaining
amount will be in the budget
for 2013.
The BID district request of
taxing commercial and indus-
trial properties was 95 cents
per $1,000 of assessed value;
the same as last year. This is
expected to raise $81,780.
The council also approved
use of City Hall space for the
BID/Main Street Program and
will continue to fund $5,000 for
the program in 2012.
In other business, the coun-
cil will send a letter to the Wis-
consin Department of Trans-
portation (DOT) notifying the
DOT that fundraising for the
Three Eagle Trail project was
sufficient through private
sources.

Attorney General J.B. Van
Hollen announced the award-
ing of $717,900 in state penal-
ty surcharge funds to pro-
grams throughout the state
that investigate drug crimes.
The North Central Drug
Enforcement Group will
receive $20,967. The Oneida
County Sheriffs Department is
the lead agency for the group.
The penalty surcharge
grants are supplemented by an
additional $1,037,500 in feder-
al Byrne Memorial/Justice
Assistance grants through the
Office of Justice Assistance.
This years grant program will
help fund 18 multi-jurisdiction-
al enforcement groups (MEG).
I am pleased to help fund
these MEG units which com-
bine the resources of multiple
law enforcement jurisdictions
to develop multifaceted drug
investigations, said Van
Hollen.
The awards are meant to
defray the costs of operations
in calendar year 2012. Histor-
ically, the statewide MEG
units were funded largely
through federal Byrne/Justice
Assitances grant funding.
As those funds have seen
reductions over time, the state
developed the process of sup-
plementing federal funding
with state funding.

Northwoods Foot & Ankle,
which opened for business in
Arbor Vitae Nov. 4, has
announced expansion plans
which would include an in-
office pedicure spa.
Owner and surgical podia-
trist Dr. Andrea Dirksen,
assisted by business manager
Jason Luszcak, treat all condi-
tions of the foot and ankle, from
toenail problems to surgery.
Dirksen has advanced
training and experience in
wound training and surgery,
and has treated a variety of
conditions including fractures,
bunions, hammertoes, neuro-
mas, joint problems, ten-
donitis and more.
Northwoods Foot & Ankle
can cast for custom orthotics
in the office, and will offer in-
office dispensing of diabetic
shoes in 2012.
Dirksen was raised in the
Rockford, Ill., area. She
attended Augustana College
in Rock Island, Ill., and
received medical training at
Rosalind Franklin University
of Medicine and Science in
North Chicago, Ill.
She completed a three-year
surgical residency in Chicago,
Ill., and was first introduced to
the area in 2008, when Lusz-
cak took her to the North
Woods to visit and snowmobile.
Luszcaks family had a
three-season cottage on the
Manitowish Chain, dating
back to 1939. He grew up
spending his summers there
while visiting grandparents.
I grew to love the area, he
said. I always wanted to relo-
cate here from Chicago. I pur-
chased my own home on the
same chain that I grew up
on.
Dirksen said once she saw
the beauty of the North Woods
and experienced the sense of
community, she decided to
relocate as well.
Both Dirksen and Luszcak,
who has an active Wisconsin
teaching license, continue to
travel to and from Chicago
while the business builds.
Everyone has two feet, and I
know the need for great foot
care is here, said Dirksen. Its
just a matter of getting people
from the area to know where we
are and how we can help them.
As soon as business builds
and Luszcak can find a teach-
ing position in the area, the
two plan to relocate on a full-
time basis to their home in
Manitowish Waters.
Dirksen and Luszcak enjoy
numerous outdoor activities,
including fishing, snowmobiling,
snowshoeing, hiking and biking.
One of our favorite pas-
times is to enjoy what the
restaurants in the area have
to offer, said Dirksen. We
look forward to playing an
active role in the community
and hope to one day raise a
family in the North Woods.

A Lac du Flambeau woman
who hit a man with a closed
fist had a sentence withheld
and was placed on probation
for 12 months in Vilas County
Circuit Court last week.
Arika J. Brownrigg, 20,
plead no contest to charges of
disorderly conduct and
obstructing an officer, but had
three other charges dismissed
in the plea agreement.
Charges of felony bail
jumping, substantial battery
and possession of drug para-
phernalia were dismissed.
Circuit Judge Neal A.
Nielsen III said conditions of
Brownriggs probation include
domestic violence assessment,
alcohol and other drug abuse
assessment; mental health
assessment; follow through
with all assessments; $225
restitution to the victim, John
Johnson; not to possess or con-
sume intoxicants; no taverns;
domestic violence surcharge of
$100; a fine of $260 and court
costs of $163.
According to court records,
Brownrigg and Johnson were
on a vodka mission April 28
at his residence in the Lac du
Flambeau. During an argu-
ment, she apparently hit him
in the face with a closed fist.
According to court records, the
two have children together.
She was later charged with
felony bail jumping April 30.
In other felony cases, Jacob
A. Jackson, 21, of Lac du
Flambeau, entered a plea of
not guilty after he was bound
over on a charge of manufac-
turing or delivery of a pre-
scription drug, party to a
crime. He is alleged to have
sold 25 Vicodin pills for $100
in a controlled purchase Aug.
9, 2010, in Lac du Flambeau. A
pretrial conference was set for
Feb. 14 at 10:30 a.m.
Joshua D. Leach, 22, of
Eagle River, charged with
felony bail jumping July 18 in
Eagle River, had a preliminary
hearing set for Jan. 13 at
11:30 a.m. Leach is alleged to
have violated a condition of
his bond by sending text mes-
sages to a minor female.
Stephan J. Kasprzyk, 36, of
New London, charged with
possession of a firearm con-
trary to an injunction, had an
initial appearance adjourned
to Jan. 9 at 10 a.m. He was
arrested at a St. Germain
motel Nov. 12 with two
firearms, a .44 magnum rifle
in his vehicle and a .357 mag-
num handgun in his motel
room.
According to the complaint,
Kasprzyk was not to possess
firearms due to a domestic-
related injunction. He said he
had the firearms because he
was taking his daughter hunt-
ing later in the day. Kasprzyk
is free on a $1,000 signature
bond and is not to possess
firearms. A complaint had
been filed by the Minocqua
Police Department that he
was in violation of the injunc-
tion.
Steven Lee Batiste, 27, of
Lac du Flambeau, charged
with delivery of schedule I, II
or III non-narcotics, had a pre-
liminary hearing set for Jan.
30 at 8:45 a.m. He is alleged to
have purchased two Suboxone
Sublingual tablets for $40 in a
controlled purchase at his res-
idence in Lac du Flambeau
Sept. 27.
Brandon L. Vetterneck, 35,
of Lac du Flambeau, charged
with possession of marijuana
and operating a motor vehicle
after revovcation, awaits an
oral ruling on a motion to sup-
press evidence. The defense
must provide a brief by Jan. 5,
and the state will be given
until Jan. 20 to respond to the
brief. Judge Nielsen will make
his ruling Feb. 6 at 9:30 a.m.
Vetternecks attorney, Brian
F. Bennett of Rhinelander,
said evidence was seized from
a motor vehicle in violation of
the Fourth, Fifth and 14th
amendments of the U.S. Con-
stitution. He was arrested in
Lac du Flambeau June 29 in
Lake of the Torches Resort
Casino parking lot for operat-
ing a motor vehicle without a

and a pretrial conference was
set for Jan. 10 at 10:30 a.m.
According to the complaint,

An Oneida County sheriff s
deputy was discharged from
Howard Young Medical Cen-
ter with minor scratches after
falling into a well last Tues-
day, according to a statement
released by the Oneida Coun-
ty Sheriff s Office.
Deputy Nate Ouimette was
performing an investigation
at a residence in the town of
Lake Tomahawk when he
called dispatch at 3:21 p.m.
stating he had fallen into a
well or septic tank.
As Ouimette was falling, he
braced himself and kept his
head above ground until res-
cue personnel arrived, said
officials.
He was freed after spend-
ing 22 minutes trapped in the
well, and was then transport-
ed to Howard Young for exam-
ination.
Investigation by police
showed the homeowner had
covered the well with boards.
When Ouimette stepped on
the snow-covered boards, they

and 1972. --Contributed Photo
Dr. Kate: park to be constructed on site
FROM PAGE 1
doctor, Dr. Kate Newcomb
(known as the Angel on Snow-
shoes), was aging and it was
becoming more and more diffi-
cult for her to make the many
house calls to which she was
summoned.
Dr. Kate, as she was affec-
tionately known, once jour-
neyed more than 376 miles in
one day to visit patients in
Tomahawk, Rhinelander and
Ironwood.
In that year, a grateful
patient gave Dr. Kate $1,000
to start a drive for a Woodruff
hospital, said Patten.
That winter, the Lakeland
Memorial Hospital board of
directors was formed. Through
the generosity of Mr. and Mrs.
Clarence G. Larson, a parcel of
land was procured. The hospi-
tal was to be built with local
voluntary labor and dona-
tions. The fund drive began.
But the donations came in
slowly and by 1952, the total
was $50,000, or $60,000 short
of the estimated cost, said
Patten.
The hospital board decided
to start a building program on
the hope that progress would
stimulate further contribu-
tions, so on July 3, 1952, an
official groundbreaking took
place. The construction pro-
ceeded rapidly and on Sept. 7
the cornerstone was set and
workmen hurried to close the
building in before the first
snowfall.
Sadly, when the hospital
was about three-quarters fin-
ished, the building fund was
depleted and construction had
to be stopped, said Patten.
A short time later, it was in
a geometry class at Arbor
Vitae-Woodruff High School in
the fall of 1952 that the idea of
the Million Penny Parade was
born. Teacher Otto Burich was
discussing quantities with his
class and came up with the
idea to collect 1 million of
something, but the question
was what?
Being a coin collector,
Burich suggested that they
collect one million pennies.
The next question was,
what would they do with the
money if they were able to col-
lect that much, said Patten.
With Burichs wife being Dr.
Kates office nurse at the time,
there was no question the mon-
ey would be contributed to the
hospital building fund.
So it was that on Nov. 5,
1952, 500 letters were mailed
out as a kick-off for the million
penny parade. The class
reached their goal April 15,
1953, the money was contribut-
ed to the hospital fund and
construction was resumed.
It was through the efforts of
Burich and his geometry class
of 16 students that Ralph
Edwards picked up on the sto-
ry and invited Dr. Kate to be
his guest on the then-popular
television show This Is Your
Life. She appeared on the
show in Hollywood, Calif., in
March of 1954.
At the end of the show, Mr.
Edwards made an appeal to
the audience to send pennies
to Dr. Kate and through this
plea, another $105,000 was
collected, said Patten. That
was enough to complete the
hospital, put on additional
rooms and equip the facility
with the most up-to-date
equipment available.
The hospital, Lakeland
Memorial Hospital, was dedi-
cated March of 1954.
Thanks to the unrelenting
efforts of hundreds of local
people, Lakeland Memorial
Hospital began its proud 23-
year history of community ser-
vice, said Patten. It pro-
gressed from 19 beds and $55
in cash to a 65-bed general
hospital in those 23 years.
Additions to the hospital
were constructed in 1962,
1967, 1968 and 1972. Lake-
land Memorial was renamed
Howard Young Medical Cen-
ter in 1972 and hospital oper-
ations ceased on Feb. 28, 1977,
with the activation of the new
Howard Young complex.
It is estimated that more
than 130,000 people received
care in the old Lakeland
Memorial Hospital, said Pat-
ten.
In 1977, the original Lake-
land Memorial Hospital was
converted to a rehabilitation
center and later to a nursing
home. All medical, rehabilita-
tion and convalescent care in
the orignal Lakeland Memori-
al Hospital building ended
Nov. 18, 2009.
The original Lakeland
Memorial Hospital is current-
ly being razed and plans are
for a Dr. Kate Memorial Park
to be constructed on the site
where the hospital now
stands. There also is a muse-
um in Woodruff that commem-
orates Dr. Kates life, Burich
and the Million Penny Parade,
and the history of Woodruff
and the hospital. The museum
is located at 923 2nd Avenue,
Woodruff, and is open to visi-
tors from June through
August or by appointment.
Commemorative bricks
from the hospital will be sold
through the Dr. Kate Muse-
um. The bricks will be from
the original building and each
will have a bronze plaque on it
that reads: Lakeland Memo-
rial Hospital (Dr. Kates Hos-
pital) Woodruff, WI 1952-
2009. The bricks will sell for
$10 each.

More public attendees than
usual showed up to last weeks
Three Lakes Town Board
meeting due to an item that
Town Chairman Don Sidlows-
ki said probably shouldnt
have been on the agenda.
According to the meeting
agenda, the board was to
decide whether to remove
Anderson Street (which serves
as a main artery to downtown
Three Lakes) from the towns
snowmobile route system.
Since the board had no
interest in changing or delet-
ing Anderson Street from the
route, it instead discussed
making it more difficult for
citizens to get proposed route
changes on meeting agendas.
I am absolutely, diametri-
cally opposed to any change in
the Anderson Street route,
said Sidlowski. I think there
absolutely is no alternative,
and I put this on the agenda
because we cant reasonably
ignore a citizen request to con-
sider a route change. We have
nothing right now to prevent
that from happening.
Supervisor Ed Starke
echoed Sidlowskis statement
about closing Anderson Street
to snowmobile traffic.
I absolutely oppose it
because theres no other way
to get into town to get to our
gas stations, our businesses
and everything else.
After hearing a similar
statement from the only other
present supervisor, Jeff Bruss,
Sidlowski said he wanted to
discuss creating a new process
for citizen requests regarding
snowmobile routes.
What Id like to do tonight,
since we have no intention of
amending the ordinance, is cre-
ate a process the public must
go through if they want to sub-
mit a request to this town
board to change a snowmobile
route, he said. Id like to make
it harder for that to happen.
The board, along with Three
Lakes Police Chief Scott Lea,
discussed legitimate concerns
for route changes, including
safety and noise issues.
Id like to see a handful of
like-minded petitioners all
sign a paper and document
the issue, whatever it is, said
Sidlowski. That would pre-
vent these off-the-cuff things
where we have to bring all of
these good people in just to
hear that were not going to
change anything.
Bruss clarified that the
town only has the ability to
change routes on town proper-
ty, and that potential petition-
ers wouldnt be able to create
petitions citing problems out-
side of that jurisdiciton.
The board also presented
two service citations to Fire
Chief Herb Stuckart and past
Three Lakes Supervisor Cindy
Starke recognizing laudible
acts and service to the Three
Lakes community.
Sidlowski offered the fol-
lowing remarks as he formally
presented the awards at the
board meeting:
Chief Herb Stuckart has
distinguished himself in the
performance of outstanding
service to the town of Three
Lakes while assigned to the
fire department. In this vitally
important role, the exception-
al devotion to duty, leadership
and ceaseless efforts of Chief
Stuckart have not only saved
countless lives and safeguard-
ed property, but in so doing,
have provided invaluable
assistance to the town board
of supervisors in the area of
emergency management.
Cindy Starke has distin-
guished herself in the perfor-
mance of outstanding ser vice
to the town of Three Lakes as
a past supervisor on the town
board, as a longtime business
owner and as president of the
volunteer fire department
auxiliary. For a full decade,
past Supervisor Starke served
with distinction and honor
and, to this day, remains the
first and only woman to be
elected a town supervisor.
Under her continuing lead-
ership as auxiliary president,
Pumpkin Fest has become a
major annual regional event,
bringing tremendous economic
benefit and an influx of visitors
to the community.
In other action, the town
board:
heard a positive update
about the Three Lakes Com-
munity Health Foundation;
reviewed a year-end
report regarding the Three
Lakes Waterfront Association;
reappointed for one year
the positions of town auditor
and town building inspector;
approved the appoint-
ment of Catherine Marshall to
a three-year term as Demmer
Memorial Library Board
trustee; and
named a private road in
Three Lakes Potato Lane.

director of the Tomahawk
Chamber of Commerce, said
the survey results will guide
the chambers marketing
efforts.
The whole process is really
useful, Anderson said. Weve
been able to share the results
with our members, and the
insights weve gained into
North Woods travel trends
whoscoming up here and
what theyre coming for will
be extremely useful for our
organization and our mem-
bers.
Funded in part by a
$40,000 branding grant from
the Wisconsin Department of
Tourisms Joint Effort Mar-
keting (JEM) grant program,
the five-county campaign
included numerous surveys,
strategic planning and brand-
ing efforts. The projects over-
all goals include brand devel-
opment for the five counties
and the formation of partner-
ships between tourism and
economic development organi-
zations.
By being aware of what we
all have and what we share
instead of seeing ourselves as
islands, tourism officials can
market our area so much
more effectively, Hapka said.
As for the areas brand, sur-
vey results indicate that the
best change may be no change
at all. When asked, What
name would you give this five-
county region? more than
90% of survey respondents
replied with some variation of
North Woods. While branding
often means big changes for a
destinations marketing, for
these counties, research con-
firms that travelers already
know what the area is all
about.
A lot of people think
branding means starting from
scratch, Hapka said. But this
research process has allowed
us to take our suspicions and
ideas about the areas identity
and put some good hard num-
bers behind them. And we
should be able to take that
and run with it.
The survey wasnt without
its surprises, however. Ander-
son noted that less than half
of travelers actually stay in
paid accommodations, like
hotels and resorts, with many
choosing to stay with family or
friends, or at their own second
home in the area. Travelers
arent coming to the area for
events as much as many in
the industry believed. Survey
data also includes insights
into where travelers are com-
ing from, how long theyre
staying and how theyre mak-
ing their decisions.
While research about trav-
elers who have visited the five
counties is important, project
organizers said data about
travelers who havent visited
or dont think they want to, is
just as valuable. Many poten-
tial visitors said they were
unaware that the North
Woods offered activities
besides snowmobiling and
fishing.
For these travelers who
havent been to the area, our
job is to change the message
so that they know the great
opportunities in the North
Woods that do align with their
interests like golfing, trail
activities alf of the survey
respondents who reported vis-
iting the region said that they
had traveled to the North
Woods six or more times in the
last six months.
Our ar ea builds lifetime
relationships with its travel-
ers, Hapka said. But we need
strong, smart marketing in
order to convince first-timers
to visit.
Going forward, a new logo
for the five-county region has
already been produced and
will be used in marketing
efforts across the region. A
North Woods website promot-
ing the entire region,
thenorthwoodsofwisconsin.co
m, is also active. For Anderson,
the projects benefits are clear.
In Tomahawk, we dont
always have a lot of funding to
do bigger promotions and
things like this on our own,
Anderson said, so the chance
to partner with neighboring
counties and communities has
been great.
Business owners can pick
up a copy of the five-county
survey results from partici-
pating chambers of commerce
and county tourism offices.
The information is available
to anyone regardless of cham-
ber affiliation.

In what could be called an
early Christmas present, a
home taken by Vilas County for
nonpayment of property taxes
will be returned to the owners.
That decision came last
week in a meeting of the coun-
ty Forestry & Land Committee
attended by the homeowners
and county Treasurer Jerri
Radtke.
Russell and Marla Mann of
St. Germain were in arrears for
four years in property tax pay-
ments when the foreclosure
proceeding was initiated.
According to the county trea-
surer, they owed $5,828 in back
taxes on the home that had an
assessed value of $105,500. The
Manns requested the county to
vacate the judgment of foreclo-
sure and return the property to
them.
The committee needed to
show good cause to recommend
returning the home, which the
Manns live in currentyl, other-
wise the next step would be an
eviction notice from the county.
Russell Mann told the com-
mittee he was self-employed
and the last several years have
been rough.
Forestry Committee Chair-
man Steve Favorite agreed self-
employed persons are having a
tough time in the present econ-
omy. The committee voted to
find just cause on the hardship
and passed a motion directing
county Corporation Counsel
Martha Milanowski to prepare
a motion to the court to vacate
the judgment of foreclosure,
returning the home to the
Manns upon receipt of all back
taxes and costs.
In another foreclosed land
matter, the county received a
bid from Denise Christenson of
$3,100 for a 0.22-acre parcel in
Phelps across from the school.
The county had rejected previ-
ous bids due to the $8,561 in
expenses incurred by the coun-
ty to pay past utility bills. It
had an appraised value of
$12,500.
The committee was told the
building did not appear to be
habitable and there were
junked vehicles parked there.
Indicating the county cant
make money on every fore-
closed property, the committee
voted 3-1 to accept the offer.
Member Sig Hjemvick cast the
dissenting vote.
A land trade between Vilas
County and Oldenburg Group
that would provide a critical
link of former railroad right of
way for recreational use has
apparently hit a snag with the
Department of Natural
Resources (DNR), according to
Forest Department Adminis-
trator Larry Stevens.
Weve submitted the paper-
work for withdrawal from the
county forest law (on the parcel
going to Oldenburg), Stevens
informed the committee.
Apparently, the appraised val-
ues cannot be supported by the
DNR.
Cloverland tower
A communications tower
owned by American Tower on
Vilas County forestland in the
town of Cloverland may be
granted a 99-year lease for
$100,000, with the funds to be
used to erect a county-owned
tower in the same area or
another part of the county with
dead spots.
American Tower currently
has a 25-year lease to use the
area of the former Cloverland
town dump site with 12 years
remaining and it offered
$100,000 to the county for the
longer lease, with Stevens say-
ing it was not their intent to
purchase the site, but if they
did, the price would be much
less.
Stevens reminded the com-
mittee the first offer it received
was $5,000, then $30,000 and
now $100,000. Egan said he
contacted a number of compa-
nies about the offer with a
response of not seeing anything
wrong with the offer.
If we accepted their offer,
we could possibly put up our
own tower and lease space,
Egan said.
Egan said the county could
put up a 199-foot tower for
$100,000, but the location
would have to be where the
countys greatest needs were.
His motion to recommend to
the county board to accept the
offer and use the funds for con-
struction of a communications
tower that can handle co-loca-
tion as a revenue stream to the
county was adopted.
Timber report
The committee received a
report from Assistant Forest
Administrator John Gagnon on
the active and closed timber

stumpage receipts of $35,557,
bringing the 2011 total to

Vilas vacates foreclosure judgment

When a property owner
takes payment for the rental of
sleeping accomodations from
anyone who is away from their
permanent address for vaca-
tion, pleasure, recreation, cul-
ture, business or employment,
the activity becomes a business
that is subject to regulations
and licensing.
Thats according to the Vilas
County Public Health Depart-
ment.
Providing lodging for pay-
ment is the same no matter if
the property owner operates a
convention center, a lodge, a
row house motel, rooms above a
bar, a home, cottage/cabin or
guest house.
It is the activity and all pub-
lic safety concerns associated
with providing sleeping acco-
modations that make it subject
to licensing and various regula-
tions, according to the health
department.
Whether you do this as an
individual, partnership or cor-
poration, public/private entity,
tenant, owner, lessee, licensee,
or the agent, heir or assignee of
any of these, all need to be
licensed; there really are no
exceptions, said a health
department spokesperson.
Not-for-profit groups are
subject to the regulations and
licensing requirements, just the
same as a private homeowner
or condo association.
It also does not matter how
often the property owner rents
the property.
When you rent out a sleep-
ing room to a tourist or tran-
sient for an hour, a day, a week,
a weekend, a month, a season
or a year, you are subject to reg-
ulations and licensing, said the
department spokesperson.

8 VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 2011
AN EARLY analysis of the 2011
deer seasons shows that, without a
doubt, the deer herd is recovering
following two mild winters and
three seasons of buck-only hunting
throughout much of Vilas, Oneida
and Forest counties.
Theres ample proof of that,
including positive reports from
archers who report seeing more
deer activity overall and a telltale
increase in the buck harvest during
the nine-day gun season the
most accurate indicator of chang-
ing population trends.
But aside from being better than
a year ago, the deer herd outside res-
idential areas isnt all that spectacu-
lar. And thats why so many deer
hunters continue to speak out
against the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) and its decision to
sell more than 15,000 antlerless deer
tags in units 36, 37 and 38 this year.
The dilemma facing biologists is
that the herd is growing very fast
in residential areas where hunting
pressure is light, so the sale of a
bunch of doe tags doesnt solve the
problem. Hunters usually fill those
tags on public lands where deer
numbers cant sustain the harvest.
Though not politically feasible in
the eyes of lawmakers thus far, one
solution would be curbing residen-
tial deer feeding which home-
owners can do the year around.
Hunters who want to use bait can
only do so during the fall seasons,
and they are hard-pressed to
attract deer that have become
dependent on residential feeders.
The bigger problem by far is
that the DNR is hell-bent on
keeping the herd at or near
management goals, which was-
nt the case during the heydays
of Wisconsin deer hunting 10 to
12 years ago. And its a lot bigger
issue than whether the DNR
can accurately count deer.
Using Unit 38 as an example,
the DNR is managing the herd for
an overwinter population of 20 deer
per square mile of deer range.
There are 16 forties in a square
mile of land (a section). So the goal
in Unit 38 is to have 1.2 deer per 40
acres of deer range.
As one hunter put it, 1.2 deer per
40 acres isnt enough for wolf bait.
It certainly isnt anything to brag
about, and it wouldnt help the sale
of a private hunting forty if you
claimed to have that kind of deer
herd on your land.
Its pretty easy to believe that we
have reached that population goal
in many areas. But most hunters
Ive spoken with since the early
archery and gun deer seasons end-
ed dont support all the antlerless
tags the DNR must issue to keep
the herd at that dismal level.
Hunters were finally starting to
see some deer in the forest areas of
Units 36, 37 and 38 this year, but
future growth of the herd will be
stymied with the harvest of thou-
sands of antlerless deer. And thats
the way the DNR intended it, hop-
ing that hunters would take one
doe or fawn for every buck harvest-
ed to keep herd growth in check.
With another mild winter and
everything else being the same, the
DNR is likely to issue thousands of
antlerless tags next fall in Units
34, 35 and maybe even 39 units
that were still buck-only this year.
Once again, the reason is a dismal
management goal of 20 deer per
square mile.
The hunters Ive heard from are
frustrated by the few deer they saw
during this years nine-day gun
season.
All I can say is, get used to it.
This is the deer management
future thats in store for north-
ern Wisconsin as long as over-
winter goals remain low.
High numbers of bears, coyotes,
wolves and other deer predators
werent such a big deal 10 years ago
when deer numbers were far above
goal. Now every deer those preda-
tors take has a more noticeable
impact on the herd.
Ive never heard more discord
among northern deer hunters than
I have the past two or three years.
Not only are fewer bucks being har-
vested, but trophy buck numbers
are way down from the good old
days likely the result of low deer
numbers and the harvest of too
many yearling bucks.
Just ask the deer hunters in
Wisconsins farm country where
quality deer management is being
practiced. They are living the glory
days of trophy buck hunting while
the North Woods has lost much of
its traditional big-buck appeal.
Some of that downturn was due
to lost habitat with a lack of logging
in the national forest. Combine
that with an overharvest of antler-
less deer and a bad winter here and
there, and its not good for growing
a deer herd. But logging will return
soon, thanks to some big court vic-
tories, and the herd could rebound
in many areas if we let it.
If we cant manage to increase
the overwinter goals and get a
decent deer herd back, our destiny
will be focusing more on scenery and
the experience of hunting the big
woods public forests that stretch
for hundreds of thousands of acres.
And thats not all bad, except
that northern deer hunters who
lived in the 80s and 90s know we
can have both great scenery and
better deer numbers.
We were spoiled once, you
could say, and most want the
good old days to return.
There were more deer, but tags stall growth
In the
Outdoors
By
Kurt Krueger
There was some decent ice building going on last
weekend, but still need some cold weather to get this
ice truly safe for vehicle traffic. As of Monday, lakes
have 2 to 6 inches of ice throughout the area.
Much of the snow from that last snowstorm has
melted into the ice pack. Anglers would really like
some more subzero nights soon to thicken the ice pack.
Its still that in-between season for most outdoors
people. The deer season and the muskie season are
over and the ice fishing season hasnt really started
yet. Be patient.
Walleyes were hitting for those anglers who got out
there, but the ice was a little thin for many of the reg-
ulars to get to where they really wanted to go. As
always, evening action is by far the best, so most
anglers are getting out there by 3:30 p.m. or so and
getting set up. As the fish move into shallow water
and weeds to feed, they are being intercepted by tip-
ups. Golden shiner minnows are best for walleyes,
especially on all the darkwater lakes like those on the
Chain. The ice is not safe yet to get out to the deep -
water spots on the bigger lakes.
Northern action has been OK, but not as good as it
will get later in the ice fishing season. It just seems to
take a while for these fish to move into the weed areas
on a daily basis. Large golden shiners set in 5 to 8 feet
in the weeds work best.
Panfish action is good, but not great. Perch have
been hitting a little in the deeper weeds. These are the
first fish to start hitting for our winter anglers. Fat-
head minnows work best for perch. We havent yet
seen the good bluegill action as their winter weed pat-
tern has not started. Waxies or spikes work best for
the gills. Crappie action will not start for a while, as
the first crappie fishing will be in deeper water and
anglers are yet to venture out that far.
As seems usual after the last several years, the ice
fishing season is off to a slow start due to the ice
development. More anglers are getting out on a daily
basis, however, and the next several weeks will bring
much more information.
Good luck and good fishin.
Deer hunters looking for bucks had a slightly better season this year, but a
high antlerless harvest will curb herd growth in 2012. --STAFF PHOTO

At least seven wolves
appear to have been illegally
killed during the recently
completed Nov. 19-27 gun deer
hunt, according to state
wildlife officials. The shoot-
ings are being investigated.
It is unfortunate that some
individuals have chosen to
illegally kill these wolves. We
understand that there is frus-
tration with the slow response
of the federal government that
would allow us to actively
manage our wolf population,
but it is an illegal act and a
federal offense, said Kurt
Thiede, land division adminis-
trator for the state Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
(DNR).
What we need is federal
authority to legally deal with
problem animals and to pro-
vide relief to farmers experi-
encing wolf depredations on
livestock, said Thiede.
Wisconsin has a wolf man-
agement plan and state offi-
cials said they are ready to
take on management of its
wolf population, estimated at
a minimum of 782 animals
last winter.
Gray wolves had once dis-
appeared from Wisconsin, but
gradually moved back into the
state from Minnesota and
Michigan and repopulated for-
mer wolf territory under pro-
tections of the federal and
state Endangered Species
Acts.
Wisconsin officials have
called for the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to delist the
wolf in Wisconsin, considering
it has far exceeded its estab-
lished delisting goal of 100
animals, as well as the state
management goal of 350
wolves.
The wolf was removed from
Wisconsins threatened and
endangered list in 2004.
Nine wolves were killed
during the 2009 hunt.

A shooting incident under
investigation in Monroe Coun-
ty was declared a deer hunt-
ing incident Nov. 29, bringing
the total incidents for the sea-
son to seven.
The Monroe County inci-
dent was confirmed after the
Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) issued its
preliminary season roundup
showing a total of six inci-
dents.
The additional incident,
which was a nonfatal self-
inflicted gunshot wound, also
changed the ranking of the
season from tied with another
year as the second safest to
the third safest in Wisconsins
recorded history.
The safest season was in
2004, when there were four
incidents and two were fatali-
ties. The second safest was
2007, when the state had six
incidents of which three were
fatalities.
Hunting is as safe as it has
ever been and getting safer
thanks to the efforts of the
hunters themselves, the many
volunteer hunter education
instructors and our conserva-
tion warden force, said DNR
law enforcement administra-
tor Tim Lawhern.
Lawhern also said the good
news of the 2011 season does
not diminish the pain and suf-
fering endured by the victims
in the seven incidents and the
department wishes each a
quick recovery.
However, this is a mile-
stone for safety in the hunting
community and we are
pushing for it to become a
trend that sticks for a long
time, he said.
These seven incidents
occurred in the counties of
Shawano, Waukesha, Clark,
Polk, Monroe and two in Iowa.
Five of the seven shooters
in the incidents had complet-
ed the hunter safety certifica-
tion course. And, the average
shooter in these seven inci-
dents is 31 years old and the
average victim in these events
is 43 years old.
The agency only tracks
firearm-related incidents and
does not keep track of deaths
or injuries due to heart
attacks, tree stand falls or oth-
er causes.

While Wisconsins Monte Ball did not win the Heis-
man Trophy during Saturdays award ceremony in New
York, the star running back joined two other Badger leg-
ends Alan Ameche and Ron Dayne as a finalist.
In the end, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III won
the award recognizing college footballs top player, Stan-
ford quarterback Andrew Luck was second, Alabama
running back Trent Richards was third and Ball finished
fourth in voting.
Badger running backs are known to take home the
hardware, as Ameche won the Heisman Trophy in 1954,
and Dayne joined the exclusive Heisman fraternity in
1999.
Ball, a junior, was a force on the football field this sea-
son, leading the Badgers to an 11-2 overall record.
The Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, Ball was the
winner of the Big Tens inaugural Ameche-Dayne Run-
ning Back of the Year Award this season. He was named
a first-team All-American by the American Football
Coaches Association on Monday.
With 38 total touchdowns on the season, Ball stands
just one score shy of the NCAA record of 39 set by Okla-
homa State running back and Heisman Trophy win-
ner Barry Sanders in 1988. Ball has scored multiple
touchdowns in each game this season and three or more
TDs in eight of the Badgers 13 games.
Ball has 12 more touchdowns than the player with the
nations No. 2 total, Kansas State quarterback Collin
Klein (26).
Ball leads the nation with 32 rushing touchdowns and
1,759 rushing yards on the season, while his average of
135.3 yards per game ranks No. 4 nationally. He has car-
ried the ball 275 times this season at an average of 6.4
yards per carry.
In addition to his work on the ground, Ball has made
20 receptions for 255 yards and six touchdowns. He also
threw a touchdown pass this season.
Balls invitation to the Heisman ceremony came on the
heels of his four-touchdown performance in the inaugu-
ral Big Ten Football Championship Game against Michi-
gan State, which helped propel the Badgers to a second-
straight conference title and Rose Bowl berth.
While Ball helped UW secure double-digit wins for a
third-consecutive season, the teams biggest win of the
season will be against Oregon in the Rose Bowl Monday,
Jan. 2.

The Northland Pines boys
hockey team won two of three
Great Northern Conference
(GNC) games last week,
including a 9-0 victory over
the Rhinelander Hodags last
Tuesday.
The Eagles also lost to
Mosinee 5-4 on Thursday, but
bounced back with a 6-3 win
over Waupaca Saturday.
Pines got four first-period
goals against the Hodags and
added four more goals in the
second period. Mathew
Kaitchuck and Matt Meyer
each had two goals for Pines.
Preparing for this type of
game is very difficult because
we knew that Rhinelander
was going to struggle this
year, said Pines coach Charlie
DePuydt. We needed to devel-
op good habits as well as
establishing who we are as a
team and this was very hard
to do, especially when follow-
ing this game up with Mosi-
nee on the road.
DePuydt said the Eagles
improved on taking penalties,
being whistled for just two
penalties.
We also saw some
unselfish teammates as Dun-
can Hosking was given the
opportunity to go in the net
after the second period and he
refused the opportunity so
Jacob Stephan could get the
shutout, said DePuydt. We
were happy to see the play of
some young players as they
rose to the challenge and
played well in the win.
Others scoring goals for
Pines were Trevor Lasczck-
owski, Brandon Hunt, Austin
Ramesh, Adam Kresl and Bai-
ley Ramesh.
Stephan finished with 13
saves.
Going into the Mosinee
game, DePuydt said the
Eagles would be in for a bat-
tle.
Mosinee, Waupaca and
ourselves are what we feel are
the top teams in the confer-
ence and we knew that this
game could be a huge deciding
factor in who will come out
with the conference champi-
onship, he said.
Mosinee got on the board
first only 3:33 into the game
on a power play as all-confer-
ence forward Bryce Hladovcak
shot the puck on a rush up the
ice, leaving a rebound out for
teammate Zach Bomheimer.
While Pines outshot Mosi-
nee 12 to nine in the first peri-
od, the Eagles headed to the
locker room down 1-0.
Just six minutes into the
second period, Kaitchuck
answered with an assist from
Kennedy to tie the game at 1-1.
I think we made a mistake
by not changing our forecheck
early enough in the period as
Mosinee continually got the
puck out into the neutral zone
and into our zone with posses-
sion, said DePuydt.
Mosinee added a goal at the
9:07 mark and Pines got a
goal from Dylan Weber at the
16:34 mark to make it 2-2.
Just 3:12 into the third
period, the patience of the
Eagles third line paid off.
Meyer caused a turnover and
slid the puck over to Hunt for
a one-timer, beating the goalie
in the upper corner over his
glove.
The Eagles took three
penalties in the third period
and Mosinee made them
count. The Indians scored two
quick power-play goals
approximately 40 seconds
apart to take a 4-3 lead.

er play and a delayed penalty

The Northland Pines girls
basketball team posted two
two victories last week,
including a 52-37 win over the
Rhinelander Hodags in the
first Great Northern Confer-
ence game of the season.
The Eagles also beat
Wabeno 38-15 in a nonconfer-
ence game last Tuesday.
The 15-point victory
against Rhinelander was an
exciting way to open the GNC
season, according to Pines
coach Larry Bergum.
The Hodags have good size
and speed, which makes them
a very hard team to match up
against. Theyre one of the
favorites to win the GNC, said
Bergum. The girls effort and
dertermination was second to
none to lead them to the win.
Rhinelander led after the
first quarter 13-12 as both
teams applied full-court pres-
sure the first eight minutes.
Pines outscored the Hodags
13-6 in the second quarter to
take a 25-19 lead into the
break. Kelsey Bergum led the
Eagles in the first half with 12
points.
The girls understood that
Rhinelander would make a
run in the second half and
limiting the damage of the run
was a key to getting the win,
said coach Bergum. Once
again, our inside girls,
Bohnen, Alft and Mai, did a
superb job fronting the post
and making it hard for the
Hodags to get good shots.
When they did get the ball
inside, Bergum and Darton
doubled down and that really
helped in preventing
Rhinelander from establish-
ing their inside game.
Coach Bergum said the
Eagles got productive play from
Jordan Welnetz, Carly Ridder-
busch and Lauren Lenz off the
bench, as several starters got in
foul trouble. Ridderbusch con-
tributed four points and three
boards off the bench.
Kelsey Bergum led the
Eagles with a game-high 21
points, six steals and two
assists. Mai contributed 11
points, five rebounds and two
blocks. Darton chipped in sev-
en points, five assists and five
rebounds. Abby Alft was solid
once again with six points, five
rebounds and four steals. Car-
ly Bohnen had four points,
four rebounds and a steal.
This was a very nice win
for the girls, said Bergum.
Being competitive in the
GNC means you must com-
pete against conference
favorites like the Hodags. I
cannot say enough about the
effort and never quit attitude
this team exhibits.
Against Wabeno last Tues-
day, the Eagles defense held
Wabeno to five points in the
second half and 15 total to
post the victory.
Defensively, Wabeno had a
real difficult time getting the
ball into the post with Carly
Bohnen, Abby Alft and Ashley
Mai doing a great job denying
the interior pass, said Bergu,.
As a team, the Eagles had
14 steals with Kelsey Bergum
getting six and Darton swip-
ing four to lead the way.
Our transition play lead to
some easy baskets and kept
the Logrollers under pressure
the entire game, said coach
Bergum. Wabeno returned all
their starters from last years
Sectional final team so we
knew we had to play solid ball
to compete. Theyre a good
ball team and should contend
for the top spot in the North-
ern Lakes Conference.
The Eagles played a num-
ber of different defenses that
kept Wabeno guessing
throughout the contest.
Kelsey Bergum led all scor-
ers with 16 points. Alft
chipped in 10 points and six
rebounds. Darton had four
points, five assists and five
rebounds. Bohnen had four
points and had another strong
night on the boards with 15
rebounds.
The Eagles, 1-0 in the GNC
and 4-1 overall, will play at
Lakeland this Friday, Dec. 16,
starting at 7:30 p.m.
At this point, were playing
exciting and solid basketball,
said coach Bergum. We need
to continue this because the
next three contests are
against Lakeland, Hurley and
Medford. All are very good
teams, which means we can-
not let down.

The Three Lakes girls bas-

the Marawood Conference
champion Buccaneers in a
nonconference battle.
The young Jays stayed with
the Bucs for three and one-
half quarters before things got
away from them.
It was our best game of the
season so far, said Three
Lakes coach Steve Radaj. The
final score was not a true indi-
cator of how close a game it
was, and how well our team
played for most of the game.
At one point, the score was
33-33. The sophomore connec-
tion between Natalie Miller,
Lindsay Schoff and Peyton
Radaj combined for 36 points
in the game.
All three of these girls
really stepped up. Natalie had
some nice drives, Lindsay
played well on both ends and
Peyton ran our fast break
which led to some easy transi-
tion baskets, said coach
Radaj.
Leah Mohr had a nice game
on the boards, as she and
Schoff kept the taller Prentice
team from getting second- and
third-shot opportunities,
according to coach Radaj.
Dont forget about Brooke
Welch; she does a lot of good
things for us that sometimes
do not show up in the scoring
column, said coach Radaj.
The Lady Jays also got con-
tributions from freshmen Eri-
ka Running, Lauren Sowins-
ki, Maddie Lorbetske and
sophomore Kiana Liebscher.

Game of the Week correct. If there is a tie, it goes to Tiebreaker I,
the total points scored by both teams in the weeks designated
game. If that fails to determine a winner, the judges will go to
Tiebreaker 2, total offensive yardage from scrimmage in the des-
ignated game. If there is still as tie, a drawing at the News-Review,
Eagle River, will be used.
2. No points are awarded on tie games, or in case any game is not

The Three Lakes Bluejays
boys basketball team will take
its record to 3-0 following a
55-38 win over Northern
Lakes Conference (NLC) rival
team Elcho last Friday.
The Jays got off to a quick
start, as Ben Wales and Brent
LaDuke each contributed six
points on the way to an 18-9
lead heading into the second
quarter.
Elcho played an aggressive
zone defense throughout the
game, which gave the Jays
some trouble in quarter two.
The Hornets outscored Three
Lakes 9-6 in the quarter, keep-
ing the score relatively close
at 24-18 at the half.
We stagnated a little offen-
sively and missed some shots
that we would normally
make, said Three Lakes coach
Brad Volkmann. Elcho just
steadily played their game
and was able to keep it close.
A strong second half for the
Jays allowed them to pull
away to victory. Three Lakes
outscored Elcho 17-12 in the
third and 14-8 in the fourth.
We have the ability this
year to be carried by several of
our players, said Volkmann.
When one or two players
have bad nights offensively,
others can pick up the slack.
Scoring was balanced for
Three Lakes, as Ross Thorn
and Wales each got 15 points
during the game. Thorn also
added 12 rebounds. Trenten
Stefonek was close behind
with 13 points.
Brent LaDuke hit a couple
of big three-pointers, and
Liebscher helped out by scor-
ing some from the point guard
position.
The big story of the night
was Liebschers pressure up
front, which allowed the rest
of the team to generate a lot of
steals, said Volkmann.
Liebscher had six of those
17 steals in the game himself.
The Jays were scheduled to
host Prentice Tuesday night.
They will host Florence
Thursday, Dec. 15, at 7:30 p.m.
in an NLC game.

The Phelps Lady Knights
lost two games last week, the
first 46-23 to Watersmeet,
Mich., Tuesday and the second
32-25 to Florence Thursday in
a Northern Lakes Conference
(NLC) match.
Watersmeet took control of
the game early Tuesday,
outscoring Phelps 9-2 in the
first and 18-0 in the second to
take a 27-2 lead.
We came out terribly flat
against Watersmeet and did
not compete with them, said
Phelps coach Josh Olivotti.
Watersmeet was able to do
what they wanted against us
for a good chunk of the first
quarter and all of the second.
The Knights came up big in
the third quarter, however,
putting some defensive pres-
sure on Watersmeet and
adding 12 points to the score-
board. At the end of three, the
score was 35-14.
A lot of credit goes to our
younger players for how they
started the second half, said
Olivotti. Destiny Schreiber,
Riley Brockman, Sammi
Smith and Jackie Samuelson
played with great effort and
competed.
Angela Grmick was critical
in the response as well, added
the coach, who said she
showed great leadership and
used her athleticism to get to
the free-throw line.
Although Phelps continued
to play solid defense and
aggressive offense, the scoring
gap was too large to overcome,
as Watersmeet took home the
win.
Ashley Volkmann led the
Knights for scoring with 14
points, followed by Kendra
Pietenpol with five. The team
was five for 21 at the free-
throw line.
Twenty-four percent from
the charity stripe is not going
to get it done, said Olivotti. I
was pleased with our willing-
ness to drive to the basket and
how we showed better control
in transition.
The Lady Knights traded
baskets and fouls with Flo-
rence in the early going
Thursday, edging a 7-6 lead by
the end of the first quarter.
Both teams played hard in
the second, and the physicality
made it diffcult for either team
to get a run going. The score at
halftime was 16-13 Bobcats.
Once again our defense was
decent up top, but we struggled
with their big girl in the paint
and gave up 10 first-half points
to her, said Olivotti.
The intensity dwindled in
the third quarter for Phelps, as
they gave up a few easy looks to
Florence, who held a 24-15 lead
going into the final quarter.
The Knights played harder
in the fourth, coming within
four points of the lead at one
point, but the girls didnt get
the defensive stops they need-
ed and Florence held on for
the win.
While we didnt win this
game, we took a step as a
team from where we were at
Tuesday, said Olivotti. I
think we improved as a team
and learned a few things
about the game.
The Lady Knights will host
Wabeno Friday, Dec. 16.

Wausau East won the tour-
nament with 199 points, fol-
lowed by Coleman Reserve

For the Jays, Dalton Tiet-
sort took third place in the

After taking a loss to a

Eagle River Falcons goalkeeper Brandon Gwidt couldnt make this
save against Fond du Lac in the second period. Skating in to help
Gwidt on the defensive end was No. 15 Brady Horn. The Falcons
tied the game 6-6. --STAFF PHOTO
A determined Eagle River
Falcons team came from
behind to tie the undefeated
Fond du Lac Bears 6-6 at the
Dome Saturday night.
The Bears silenced the
crowd early, scoring twice
within the first six minutes of
play. The Falcons then skated
to within one when Derek
Tijan hit Josh Calleja with a
perfect pass on a two-on-one
breakaway. Calleja buried it
from the top of the crease at 7
minutes, 33 seconds.
The visitors regained the
two-goal deficit beating Fal-
con goalie Tony Pudlo on a
five-hole shot.
Eagle River made a change
at goal, bringing in Brandon
Guidt with eight and one-half
minutes remaining in the
period. Center Nick Nelmark
answered only 12 seconds lat-
er, scoring on a tough angle
shot from 20 feet out. After 20
minutes of action, Fond du
Lac held a 3-2 advantage.
The second stanza saw two
minutes of altercations within
the first two minutes of play,
resulting in the ejections of
two players from each team.
The teams swapped goals
twice throughout the remain-
der of the period with Fondy
clinging to a 5-4 lead.
Scoring for the Falcons was
Craig Dakins assisted by
Tijan on the first, and Cody
Litvinoff with a wicked wrist
shot from the point on the sec-
ond score. Tijian and Calleja
assisted.
To the dismay of the Falcon
faithful, the Bears scored just
three minutes into the final
period to regain their two goal
lead. But Eagle Rivers
defense tightened and Gwidt
made several key saves to
shut down the Bears.
At the 13-minute mark
Tijian unloaded on a Calleja
pass, lighting the lamp and
getting back to within a goal
with only seven minutes
remaining.
At 16:19, it was Calleja
picking up his third assist of
the game as he hit Brady
Horn in the slot. Horn split
the pipes to score the tying
goal.
At the completion of regula-
tion time, it was even at 6-6
sending the game into a five-
minute overtime.
Neither team scored in
overtime, resulting in an
exciting shootout.
Great Lakes Hockey
League rules state that the
winning team after a regula-
tion tie is awarded two points,
while the losing team gets one
in the standings.
It all came down to the
final shooter of the night, but
it was Fondy outscoring the
host Falcons two to one to
claim the two points.
There was a near-record 88
shots on net by the two teams.
Falcon goalies were credited
with 34 saves.
We skated hard all game
and nearly pulled it out, said
Eagle River coach Mike
Adamovich. I like the com-
mitment of our team.
The Falcons are now 2-2-1,
and will host the Madison
Blues Saturday, Dec. 17.
Game time will be 8 p.m.

goalie over the shoulder to tie
the game at 4-4 at 11:39.
Kaitchucks goal came at a
good time with only four sec-
onds left on the power play,
giving the Eagles another full
two-minute power play
because of the delayed penalty.
After some good chances
on the power play, Mosinee
was able to kill it off, said
DePuydt.
With just a minute and a
half left in the game, Pines got
caught in a line change. A
Mosinee defenseman moved
the puck up to Hladovcak, who
brought the puck into the zone
and across the middle to beat
Stephan with a five-hole shot.
A pretty evenly matched
game comes down to the little
things and Mosinee did them
better than we did on Thurs-
day night, said DePuydt. I
feel we are the better team,
but we didnt play like it after
we took the lead early in the
third period.
Facing Waupaca Saturday
in the Dome, it was the
Eagles first GNC home game
of the season.
We came out flying in the
first period. Our first line
came out with something to
prove, said DePuydt.
Pines put 21 shots on Wau-
pacas goaltender in the first
period, but could only come up
with one goal. Laszczkowski
got the Eagles on the board
first with an assist from Leif
Offerdahl. The Eagles allowed
the Comets just five shots in
the first period.
About eight minutes into
the second period, Pines
scored on another mistake by
Waupaca as they gave the
Eagles a power play.
Kaitchuck scored a power-
play goal with an assist from
Alex Kornely.
The Eagles made it 3-0 as
Kresl added another power
play goal. Later in the period
Waupaca got a hard-working
goal after some heavy pres-
sure in the defensive zone on
a rebound at the 11:18 mark.
The Eagles quickly saw
their two-goal lead disappear
at the start of the third period
as Waupaca scored only 56
seconds apart at even
strength. With the game tied
at 3-3, Weber took an upper-
corner shot through traffic
beating the Waupaca goal-
tender to give the lead back to
Pines.
Pines put 49 shots on net
in the contest and only gave
up 20 shots.
The Eagles, 3-1-1 overall
and 2-1 in the GNC, was
scheduled to host Antigo on
Tuesday of this week and will
host Tomahawk this Thurs-
day, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m. Next
Tuesday, Dec. 20, the Eagles
will travel to Houghton,
Mich., for a nonconference
game starting at 6 p.m.
The Northland Pines girls
hockey team extended its
record to 5-2 following a 7-0
win over the Lakeland Thun-
derbirds Friday night.
The team continued to
improve at passing and shoot-
ing, and dominated with puck
control the entire game.
In the end, the Eagles
amassed 81 shots on net while
giving up only six themselves.
Every player on the bench
saw a significant amount of
ice time, said Pines coach Al
Moustakis. The goal in the
game was to continue to play
as if we were playing the best
team in the state.
Paige Healy started the
Eagles off for scoring at four
minutes and 25 seconds left in
the first period, netting a
great shot about halfway up
and just inside the post.
Assisting on the play was Kel-
ly McGinnis.
First-year hockey player
Libby Collins got her first
career goal with just 18 sec-
onds left in the first period. She
was right in front of the T-Bird
net when she put the puck into
the goal off a rebound. She was
assisted by Healy.
In the second period, Healy
scored again at 10:04 of the
period assisted by freshman
Cali Sanborn.
These two players are just
fun to watch, said Moustakis.
If you come to a game, youll
see that these two play as if
they are thinking the same
thoughts and, when Claire
Decker was taken off defense
and turned into a power for-
ward with Healy and San-
born, the line became some-
thing really special.
Kelly McGinnis scored the
Eagles fourth goal off a
behind-the-back pass from
Sydney Moustakis, who was
behind the net. After two, the
Eagles led 4-0.
The third period saw three
more Pines goals. The first
was a score off a nice pass by
Sanborn, assisted by Healy
and Whitney Richards. The
Eagles got their sixth goal
from Kali Ebert, who put the
puck just over the goalies
shoulder. The goal was unas-
sisted. The last goal was
scored by McGinnis, again
unassisted on a nice low shot
to the glove side.
The Eagles will host Med-
ford Friday, Dec. 16. Game
time will be 7 p.m.

PERSON IN YOUR LIFE
THREE LAKES TNT
Speedway owners Tim and
Patti Rutzen have reached a
lease agreement with a group
of area race enthusiasts who
are planning a full season of
stock car racing next year,
The group, Three Lakes
TNT Speedway LLC, recently
signed an agreement with the
Rutzen family.
After 17 years of running
the track, we have been want-
ing to retire from the busi-
ness, knowing that new ener-
gy and excitement were some-
thing we were lacking to allow
TNT Speedway to grow to its
full potential, said TNT
Speedway co-owner Patti
Rutzen. Now we have found
people who have all of the
qualities needed to keep TNT
the place to be.
All members of the new
managing group have either
raced, or are related to drivers
who have raced, at TNT
Speedway.
We would like to thank
Tim and Patti Rutzen for all
that they have done for racing
in this area over the years,
Three Lakes TNT Speedway
LLC managing partner Junior
Stebbeds said. Were happy to
be taking over such a great
tradition from that family and
we will strive to maintain the
high standards that the
Rutzens established.
No changes are planned
regarding the four classes of
race cars that compete at the
track each week. Racing will
still feature WISSOTA
AMSOIL Dirt Track Series
(WADTS), Midwest Modifieds
and Street Stocks, TNT Pure
Stocks (formerly called TNT
Bombers) and Stingers.
Three Lakes TNT Speed-
way has announced dates for
the 2012 season. The first race
at TNT Speedway will be held
Saturday, May 12, while the
season will conclude with a
two-day special for all four
classes Sept. 8 and 9.
Races will be held every
Saturday night during the
summer with an earlier start
time. Hot laps will begin at
6:30 p.m, with racing at 7:15
p.m.
In addition to the regular
racing program, the group
announced dates for several
special races. TNTs Pure
Stocks special will take place
June 30, the midseason cham-
pionships will be held July 7, a
WADTS Midwest Modifieds
special is planned for July 14
and the third annual Jake
Mullins Memorial WADTS
Street Stocks special will take
place July 28.
TNT Speedway held its
first race in 1995 and has been
owned by the Rutzen family
since its inception. The
Rutzens said theyll assist
Three Lakes TNT Speedway
up to and beyond the start of
the racing season to ensure a
smooth transition.
We ask you to continue to
support TNT Speedway as you
have in the past, said Rutzen.
Like us, they cannot succeed
without you, the racers, who
bring the fans a great show
every Saturday night. Thank
you for all of the support and
friendship you have given us
over the years and we look for-
ward to seeing you at the
races.

14 VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 2011
I decided that it is time for me to shed a few
pounds and clean up my diet so I am counting carbo-
hydrates. It is a start. As I shopped for food this week,
I was shocked to see how many high carbohydrate
foods fill the shelves. I consider myself well informed
about good nutritious food. I know Americans are sug-
ar-dependent but I lost sight of just how much sugar
we eat.
As I walked the aisles searching for low carb foods,
I was reminded that healthy foods are around the
periphery of the grocery stores. Certainly there are
healthy foods in the aisles oatmeal, nuts and seeds
are among some of the good foods in the aisles. But as
I walked each aisle, picking up foods here and there, I
saw mostly high-carb and/or high-fat processed foods.
Is it any wonder we are an obese nation? The cere-
als are full of sugar, as are the cookies and soft drinks.
Sugar is stored as fat in our bodies. About 100 years
ago, we were eating about one pound, yes just one
pound, of sugar a year. When I started teaching well-
ness workshops in 1980, people were eating about 100
pounds of sugar a year. Now we are eating about 90-
180 pounds of sugar a year. That is a lot of sugar.
Imagine 18 bags weighing 10 pounds each. There are
120 teaspoons in every pound of sugar. A 12-ounce
soda contains eight teaspoons of sugar. Drink four of
those and you have eaten one-quarter pound. Those
44-ounce drinks people buy have about 32 teaspoons
of sugar in them. You might ask why I am coming
down so hard on sugar. Sugar is actually a dangerous
food. It affects our moods and energy levels and con-

Donations to Warm The
Children, a program sponsored
by the Vilas County News-
Review to provide winter cloth-
ing for needy children, have
now reached approximately
$47,465, according to News-
Review Publisher Kurt
Krueger.
We need to collect an addi-
tional $7,535 in donations. Our
goal is raised to $55,000 in
order to accommodate the
record number of 560 children
applying to the program, he
said.
I am very grateful to the
communitys response to our
cry for help, said program coor-
dinator Sharina Adams. There
are many stories from shoppers
expressing the joy and thank-
fulness from the families this
program is helping.
The manager at Friendship
House in Eagle River has gra-
ciously offered to hold a
spaghetti dinner fundraiser,
scheduled for Dec. 29, she
added. I am confident we will
reach our goal, and the extra
money collected will enable us
to start the program next year
when the weather turns cool.
This past week, anonymous
donations totaled $875. Dona-
tions totaling $6,733 were
received from the residents of
the following communities:
Conover

The Headwaters Council
for the Performing Arts
(HCPA) will bring the musical
comedy Guys & Does to the
Northland Pines High School
(NPHS) stage Saturday, Jan 7.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. and
showtime will be 7:30 p.m.
This musical is one of
American Folklore Theatres
most famous productions
according to an HCPA repre-
sentative. The Door County-
based nonprofit professional
theater creates musicals pro-
duced coast to coast, including
Guys on Ice.
The situations have the
audience in stitches and the
story line is very imaginative,
said Lori Hahn, vice president
of the HCPA.
Its been a couple of years
since we had the great Guys
on Ice musical and the HCPA
board thought it would be
great to bring the guys back in
another great show, she
added.
This performance is not
part of the regular season
ticket, so anyone may pur-
chase a ticket to see the per-
formance. The show is cur-
rently touring the Midwest
and many venues are charg-
ing far more for a ticket than
the HCPA is in Eagle River,
she stated.
Guys & Does tells the sto-
ry of Fritz Dingleheimer, a
paper mill worker eager to
escape his dull routine by tak-
ing a hunting trip to the
northern pines. But he finds
himself traveling with Duane
Puddles, a local oddball who
knits and loves self-help
books.
Tickets may be purchased
in advance for $25 per person
at The Flour Sack, located on
West Pine Street in Eagle Riv-
er, or at the door the night of
the show.
A ticket would make a
great Christmas present for
that hard-to-buy-for person,
reminded Hahn. Make it a
night out with your friends,
hunters and nonhunters
alike.
Guys & Does tickets now available
A musical comedy, Guys & Does, will be brought to Eagle Riv-
er by Headwaters Council for the Performing Arts Saturday,

ing skills they will need to be
successful in college.
Everything will be
designed around hands-on
activities that are fun for stu-
dents, said Susan Kordula,

skills and demonstrate the
importance of communication
when working as an engineer.
Careers theyll explore include
those in the aerospace, electri-
cal, manufacturing, architec-
tural and mechanical engi-
neering fields.
Those in the Health Occu-
pations Academy will learn
about and get to practice a
wide variety of basic medical
procedures on Nicolets new,
high-tech patient simulator

state-of-the-art, computerized
mannequin can re-create hun-
dreds of medical scenarios.
Students will use critical
thinking skills to work

Artificial sweeteners cause us

The prepared foods, those
founds in boxes and cans and
plastic bags, are pretty laden
with sugar and fat because
we like the taste. When sugar
is removed, fat is increased.
Just read the labels. And
take a look at the amount of
fiber and nutrients in these
foods. Eating high-quality
lean meats and fish, high-

grains, yogurts and lots of
water will help us feel better

I know that writing about
this in December when the
world is one big pile of sugar
and fat and alcohol may seem
like I am torturing you. In
fact, I am attempting to
heighten your awareness so
that your holidays are more
restful and relaxed. Holidays
are exhausting. The less sug-

The best gift you can give
yourself and your family is
well being, and a healthy diet
is a huge part of that.

The movie Cars
received the Best Animated
Feature at the Golden
Globe awards following its
2006 release and was nomi-
nated for two Academy
Awards including Best Ani-
mated Feature.
Mater, the lovable, funny
tow truck voiced by Larry
the Cable Guy along with
Maters best friend, Light-
ning McQueen, are two of
the best-known characters
in the movie. Cars 2 was
released this summer.
Ron Plude from Land O
Lakes, who was aware of
his grandsons love of
Cars, so surprised him
with a wooden model of
Mater but is, in reality,
much more.
Plude owns Wildfire
Liquor and Wood Art in
Land O Lakes.
In 1988, my brother-in-
law, who was a master cabi-
netmaker, and I started a
business called Wonders
With Wood. I started wood-
working on my own and
have been selling at some
craft shows summer and
winter, Plude stated.
Years ago, Plude worked
in the wrecker business
with his son. It was partly
because of this that Pludes
grandson fell in love with
this service vehicle. After
all, to young Cars fans,
arent all tow trucks named
Mater?
He explained, In the sec-
ond movie, Mater is a clum-
sy wrecker who accompa-
nies Lightning McQueen as
he competes in the Euro-
pean race circuit. However,
they really become spies.
My grandson has Cars
everything in his room. So I
decided to make him a
wrecker Mater. I didnt
use a blueprint.
The cab is a toy box
with latches and related
parts which teach him how
things work. The back part
of the cab has a shelf. The
roof has a yellow AC-pow-
ered flashing light with a
switch he can turn on and
off. The truck bed holds the
mattress, and the boom is a
PVC pipe painted black
with a wooden hook. he
said.
The pipe is set into the
bed of the truck but, for
safety reasons, comes out
easily. Maters body is made
of 3/4-inch plywood and
painted similarly. The legs
have lockable rollers hidden
by plywood wheels, he
added.
My grandson accidental-
ly saw Maters face last
October when he peeked
into the workshop. He just
went crazy, Plude mused.
Plude will make custom
characters and creates
lamps and shades, tables,
chairs and benches.
My next project is to
make a queen-sized bed
with a carved headboard. I
can do almost anything
with wood, he concluded.

The YMCA of the North-
woods announced the launch
of Livestrong at the YMCA
to help adult cancer survivors
who have become decondi-
tioned from recent cancer
treatments rebuild strength
and stamina.
The Y and Livestrong joined
together to create the physical
activity and well-being pro-
gram designed to help adult
cancer survivors achieve their
holistic health goals.
According to program cre-
ators, the research-based pro-

by cancer a safe, supportive
environment to participate in
physical and social activities
focused on strengthening the

Participants work with Y
staff trained in supportive
cancer care to achieve their

program coordinator.
Individual goals, such as
building muscle mass and
strength, increasing flexibility
and endurance and improving
confidence and self-esteem, will
be the focus of this 12-week
program, continued Duschl.
The YMCA of the North-
woods, in addition to the phys-
ical benefits of the program,
provides a supportive environ-

gible households. WHEAP heating assistance is a one-time benefit payment per heating season (Octo-
ber 1 through May 15). It is intended to help pay a portion of a households heating costs, not the entire
annual cost of heating a home. The amount of heating assistance benefit depends on the households
size, income and heating costs.
Households with income at or below 60% of Wisconsin State Median Income (SMI) may be eligi-
ble for assistance. Households may be eligible if their gross income for the last three months is less
than the amount shown below for your family size.
Appointments are required. To schedule an appointment at any Oneida County location or for
more information, contact the Oneida County Department of Social Services at 715-362-5695 or toll-free

Thank You
We wish to extend to everyone in the neighboring communities a big heart-
felt thank-you for helping and donating to the Mark Sislo Benefit.
The outpouring of love and generosity that we experienced was very humbling
to us. The amount of work that the people involved put forth to make this happen
for Mark was extraordinary. We feel so very humbled by the love and generosity of
the Northwoods communities. The donations from businesses from Manitowish
Waters all the way to Tomahawk were phenomenal! We hope that someday we our-
selves will be able to give as much to others as our community has given to us. We
feel so very blessed to live in such a wonderful community. Thank you all so much!
With heartfelt love, we wish you all a very blessed Christmas.

Stepping On, a program to
help prevent falls, will be
offered by Vilas County Com-
mission on Aging starting Jan.
12, 2012, in Eagle River.
The community-based
workshop will be offered once
a week for seven weeks using
adult education principles
that build older adults confi-
dence in their ability to reduce
falls.
According to the Commis-
sion on Aging, one of the best
ways to prevent falls is for an
older adult to enroll in the evi-
dence-based community work-
shop. Older adults will be
taught strength and balance
exercises in a small-group set-
ting, and will develop specific
knowledge and skills to pre-
vent falls.
Two trained leaders will
facilitate the workshops. The
sessions will not be lectures.
Participants will learn to
problem-solve on their own
and for each other. Commis-
sion on Aging representatives
stated that mutual support
and success will build confi-
dence in the ability to manage
health behaviors to reduce the
risk of falls and to maintain
active and fulfilling lives.
We are fortunate to have
supportive community part-
ners who volunteer their
expertise to make this pro-
gram effective for the older
adults in our community, said
program coordinator Amie
Rein.
For example a physical
therapist will speak about
strengthening and balance
exercises. Other community
partners will be a pharmacist,
a vision expert and a commu-
nity safety specialist who will
inform participants that falls
are not a natural consequence
of aging but that falls can be
prevented if the risks and how
to manage them are known.
Enrollment for Stepping On
is limited to 12 and preregis-
tration is required. A $15 fee
for participants will include
all learning materials.
For more information or to
register, contact Rein at (715)
479-3725.

Three Lakes School reports
honor roll for first quarter
Three Lakes eighth-grade
students traveled to Honey-
Rock Camp Dec. 1 for activi-
ties based on a book the stu-
dents had recently read titled
The Seven Habits of Highly
Effective Teens.
HoneyRock program lead-
ers Rick Masters and Liz Pow-
ell designed the activities,
which challenged the class to
put the seven habits from the
book into practice by placing
them in situations that would
test their mettle.
Only by cooperating, listen-
ing to each other, working togeth-
er and persevering could the stu-
dents navigate through the
course of the challenging games,
said Three Lakes paraprofes-
sional Peggy Bennett. Part of
the day was spent outdoors in
the freshly fallen snow, and some
of the activities took place
indoors, near the crackling fire.
The students will return to
HoneyRock twice more to
hone their seven habits skills,
once in early February and
again in April.
Not only must the eighth-
graders rise to the challenges
facing them at HoneyRock
throughout the day, but
theyre asked to reflect upon
their experiences through dis-
cussion and writing activi-
ties, said Bennett.
Funding for the three days
at the camp was made avail-
able through an Edith Reiter
Foundation grant.

ST. GERMAIN, WI 54558
Wally Geist has recently
been appointed St. Germain
news correspondent for the
Vilas County News-Review.
Geist was born in Brooklyn,
N.Y., and attended colleges in
Bronxville, N.Y., Fort Wayne,
Ind., and seminary in St.
Louis, Mo. He earned a master
of divinity degree from Con-
cordia Seminary in 1972.
As a pastor, interest in com-
munity building led him to
become a volunteer fireman
and first chaplain of the
Hampshire Fire Protection
District in Hampshire, Ill. He
also developed and directed
Hampshire Ambulance, a vol-
unteer-based rescue service.
He served St. Johns
Lutheran Church in Wood-
stock, Ill., where he developed
a preschool. He moved to the
North Woods in 1986 to pastor
Rock of Ages Lutheran
Church in Minocqua and used
his administrative and adver-
tising skills to benefit the
Lakeland Area Ministerial
Association and the Lakeland
Area Food Pantry.
After retirement from the
parish, Geist provided adver-
tising services for Country
Fireplace in Arbor Vitae and
Ahlborn Equipment in Sayn-
er. He also is the minister of
Grace Chapel Northwoods
Inc. and offers wedding ser -
vices to visitors and residents
of the area.
I see the role of correspon-
dent as a way of building com-
munity in St. Germain and
Sayner. The information I pro-
vide the Vilas County News-
Review will help readers iden-
tify opportunities to work
together for our common
good, said Geist.
Geist may be contacted at
(715) 892-3545 or
wally.geist@yahoo.com with
any information to be included
in the newspaper.

The St. Germain Town
Board met last Friday, ahead
of its usual schedule.
The agenda included a
report on the plans that are
being made by the Golf Course
Committee to address issues
relative to the greens. It was
stated that if the greens do
not improve in the early
spring, they will be resodded.
Refurbishing of sand traps to
remove excess rock also is in
the planning stage.
The driving range will be
lengthened by removing 22
trees to provide an additional
benefit for patrons of the golf
course. Tree cutting will be
done by the town crew.
Lumber Jacks Tree Service
will deliver the trees to Pukall
Lumber Co. and lumber pro-
ceeds will go toward golf
course operation.
Brian Baldwin, the St. Ger-
main Professional Golf Associ-
ation golf pro, will retire Dec.
31.
The Golf Course Committee
reported that eight applica-
tions for the position have
been received.
Election officials appointed
for the spring election were
ratified. Republicans are Lois
Rogacki, Lois Pietz and chief
inspector Patricia Rockafield.
Chief inspector Judith
Kaisler, Shirley Shambo, Lor-
raine Washechek and Ellen
Finch are independents.
The proposed employee
handbook was amended to
include definitions of full-time
and part-time employees.
The handbook sets forth
the conditions of employment
by the town and will take the
place of individual contracts
in the future. The handbook
will be sent to town attorney
Steve Lucareli for his
approval as well.
The full town board will
meet with all the employees
Tuesday, Dec. 20, at 4 p.m. in
Meeting Room 4 of the com-
munity center to discuss the
handbook.
Landfill Venture Group
(LVG) asked the towns that
participate in the Highway G
landfill to pass Resolution 2.
The resolution would allow
the LVG to offer membership
to Watersmeet, Mich., and
Three Lakes.
John Vojta stated that until
he knew the terms under
which the town could join the
LVG, he could not vote on the
resolution. Issues of fairness
to participating towns include
the initial membership fee
and the sharing of operational
costs in the future. The board
tabled Resolution 2 pending
further information and dis-
cussion.
Walt Camp, town chair-
man, reported that he contact-
ed Verizon concerning high-
speed Internet service for the
north half of St. Germain. He
was told that Verizons new
target date will be sometime
in 2013.
The public is welcome to
attend meetings of the St.
Germain Town Board. The
next regularly scheduled
meeting will be Monday, Jan.
9, at 5 p.m. in Meeting Room
4 at the St. Germain Commu-
nity Center.

Afternoon of Song Sunday, Dec. 18, at Ely
Memorial United Church of Christ in Land O
Lakes. --Contributed Photo
The Ely Memorial Unit-
ed Church of Christ Out-
reach Committee has
announced An Afternoon of
Song, a vocal concert by Dr.
Pamalyn Lee, which will be
held Sunday, Dec. 18, at 4
p.m. in the sanctuary at the
church, located on Highway
B in Land O Lakes.
Pianist Harriet Ribbens
will accompany the sopra-
no.
Lee has chosen a wide
variety of music for the
afternoon from serious art
songs to lighter selections
such as Christmas carols.
She began her musical
career as a child of 5 when
she presented her first
church solo. By the time she
was 10, she performed in
several ensembles in her
native New Lisbon.
Lee continued to solo
through out her school
years, including operas at
the Madison Civic Opera
Chorus and in Wisconsin
State competitions during
her high school years, win-
ning several first-place
awards.
Lee graduated with a
bachelor of fine arts degree
from UW-Madison. As a
candidate for master of
music, Lee was instructed
and coached by several
instructors at the Universi-
ty of Michigan in Ann Arbor,
Mich.
She went on to perform
as guest soloist in a recital
in Boston, Mass.; at the
Basilica of the National
Shrine in Washington, D.C.;
and in Ann Arbor as the
first lady in Mozarts Die
Zauberflote and as Bian-
ca/Gabriella in Puccinis La
Rondine, among others.
Lees accomplishments
did not stop there. She
served as teaching assis-
tant, as private voice teach-
er, and as weekly studio
class instructor at the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
She is the music director
of North Woods Singers in
Eagle River, director of the
choir at Ely Memorial Unit-
ed Church of Christ and pri-
vate voice instructor.
Several years ago, Lee
teamed up with colleague
Ribbens, a pianist and
organist.
A reception in Fellowship
Hall will take place imme-
diately following the perfor-
mance and a freewill offer-
ing will be taken.
An Afternoon of Song slated Dec. 18

SOMETIMES LIFE
THROWS us a curve. If we let
them, our problems can over-
whelm us. When we are faced
with trials and tribulations,
we should remember the fol-
lowing story about the buz-
zard, the bat and the bumble-
bee.
The essay was sent to me
about five years ago. Research
says the author is unknown
and the analogy used may be
flawed but the message is still
important as the story has
been shared with friends for
many years.
Buzzard If you put a buz-
zard in a pen that is 6 feet by
8 feet and is entirely open at
the top, the bird, in spite of its
ability to fly, will be an abso-
lute prisoner.
The reason is that a buz-
zard always begins a flight
from the ground with a run of
10 to 12 feet. Without space to
run, as is its habit, it will not
even attempt to fly, but will
remain a prisoner for life in a
small jail with no top.
Bat The ordinary bat
that flies around at night, a
remarkably nimble creature
in the air, cannot take off from
a level place.
If it is placed on the floor or
flat ground, all it can do is
shuffle about helplessly, and
no doubt, painfully until it
reaches some slight elevation
from which it can throw itself
into the air. Then, at once, it
takes off like a flash.
Bumblebee A bumblebee,
if dropped into an open tum-
bler, will be there until it dies,
unless it is taken out.
It never sees the means of
escape at the top, but persists
in trying to find some way out-
through the sides near the
bottom. It will seek a way
where none exists until it
completely destroys itself.
People In many ways, we
are like the buzzard, the bat
and the bumblebee. We strug-
gle about with all our prob-
lems and frustrations, never
realizing that all we have to
do is look up.
Sorrow looks back, worry
looks around, but faith looks
up. Live simply, love generous-
ly, care deeply, speak kindly
and trust in our Creator who
loves us.
Try not to dwell on your
problems. It is interesting,
many problems tend to solve
themselves. For example, try
to remember what you were
worrying about three months
ago.
***
HERE ARE some enriching
thoughts that might remind
us just how simple life can be.
You may agree or you might
want to disagree. The author
is unknown.
The most destructive habit
we can have is worry. The
greatest joy is giving. The
greatest loss we can experi-
ence is loss of self-respect. The
most satisfying work we can
do is helping others.
The ugliest personality
trait is selfishness. The most
endangered species is dedicat-
ed leaders.
Our greatest natural
resource is our youth. The
greatest shot in the arm is
encouragement. The greatest
problem to overcome is fear.
The most effective sleeping
pill is peace of mind. The most
crippling failure disease is
excuses.The most powerful
force in life is love.
The most dangerous pariah
is a gossiper. The worlds most
incredible computer is the
brain. The worst thing to be
without is hope.
The deadliest weapon is the
tongue. The two most power-
filled words are I can. The
greatest asset is faith. The
most worthless emotion is
self-pity. The most beautiful
attire is a smile.
The most prized possession
is self-esteem. The most pow-
erful channel of communica-
tion is prayer. The most conta-
gious spirit is enthusiasm.
***
THE FOLLOWING advice
is a philosophy that was true
100 years ago, 50 years ago
and is applicable today and
tomorrow. It should be an
example passed on from one
generation to the next.
Follow these three ideas
and life will be better for you.
First: Always work to get
completely out of debt and
owe no one anything. Once out
of debt, stay out of debt. Own
your own home. Be completely
self-sufficient.
Second: If you tell a man
that you will be at his office at
5 p.m., then you be there ear-
ly, not 15 minutes late. Always
be on time. Never be late. Be
dependable.
Third (and this may be the
most important): Always give

People Make the Difference
By Byron McNutt
SOMETIMES I THINK the
cavemen had it right.
Take camping, for instance.
Cavemen lived an entire life-
time in a permanent state of
camping out. Their tents
ranged anywhere from
semipermanent caves to
overnight shelters under-
neath the sweeping branches
of a blowdown pine to, in
somewhat later days, a crude
hut of woven sticks thatched
with grass or, if lucky, animal
hides.
Fire was a newfangled
invention and, once they had
it, it must have seemed a won-
derful thing for Trog and Uma
to sit around a campfire on a
lonely night with a fire throw-
ing sparks in the air while the
amorous couple made sparks
of their own.
Their camping equipment
started with a club or two for
Trog -- one for dispatching
wild game and other cavemen
who might cast lustful eyes
upon Uma, and one for Uma
should she cast lustful eyes
back their way or otherwise
not do as Trog dictated.
Other than that, equipment
consisted of the aforemen-
tioned animal skins for a tent
covering, sharpened bones or
sticks for cooking utensils,
hollowed-out wood or perhaps
birch-bark bowls, and, well,
that was about it.
I tend to be somewhat of a
minimalist camper, especially
when I camp by myself, but
even then I am a camper Trog
would never recognize.
Typically I sleep in a small
pup tent. On occasion when
my failing memory resulted in
all manner of padding left
behind at home, I have spread
my sleeping bag directly on
the ground not comfortable,
let me assure you but usu-
ally I have a double layer of
open-cell, 2-inch-thick foam
pads separating me from
rocks and brush stubble.
When it comes to cooking, I
like to do it the old-fashioned
way over a bed of hard maple
coals, a potato and a big onion
wrapped in foil buried in the
coals while a caveman-sized
steak sizzles on a grill above.
When I catch a couple of
native brook trout for my sup-
per, I think they taste best
either grilled above the coals
until their skin is a crunchy
golden brown, or fried in a
blackened frypan with a gob of
bacon grease.
Occasionally though, espe-
cially when Im not camping
alone, I will resort to using a
freestanding propane stove

Trails
& Tales
By

To MAINES, Pg. 23
AS THE LONG season of
darkness sweeps over the
country, its a natural time to
think about lighting and
how dependent we are on elec-
tricity during this dim time of
year. You can heat your home
with several different energy
sources, including natural gas,
heating oil or wood. But
unless youre living off-the-
grid, the lights throughout
your abode burn brightly
because of electricity from the
grid.
Yes, I have a couple of can-
dles, a flashlight and two
kerosene lamps in my house-
hold. But I dont use them.
Instead, like more than 99% of
us, I just flip up a switch to
turn on electric lights
throughout my house.
Of course people use elec-
tricity for many other purpos-
es. We run all the equipment
in emergency rooms on elec-
tricity and when Im trying
to wake up in the morning I
sometimes think its almost
equally important that we run
our coffee makers on electrical
current, too.
Its commonplace to note
that the landscape of energy is
changing in this country. But
its harder to get agreement
on where we should get our
electricity in the coming
years. People disagree about
that, and for some good rea-
sons. But no matter what you
feel about our various energy
options, some basic facts about
solar energy are worth review.
We could start by noting
that most of the energy we use
is ultimately solar in origin.
Fossil fuels, after all, repre-
sent solar energy that Mother
Nature stored deep in the
Earth over whole geological
eras. One down side about fos-
sil fuels is that once we use
them, theyre gone.
Engineer Bob Olsen of
Washington State University
recently explained to me his
view that we have quite a
wonderful system of renew-
able solar energy in place,
especially in the Western
parts of the United States and
around the region of the Ten-
nessee Valley Authority
(TVA).
Thats the case not because

Our View
It is again time for business owners in com-
munities across the North Woods to invest in the
future to commit funds that will help nonprofit
organizations with the costs of repairing, rerouting
and grooming snowmobile trails for the winter
recreation season that is about to begin.
Too many businesses dont even bother to
respond to solicitations from snowmobile clubs that
are looking for funds to support the grooming oper-
ations. Believe it or not, some business owners
think they dont reap any benefits from winter
tourism that is sparked by the enormous, well-
groomed snowmobile trail network in this area.
The truth be told, almost every business in
northern Wisconsin benefits directly or indirectly
because of the trail grooming. The money spent by
snowmobilers in winter boosts the entire economy,
giving those businesses and employees directly
affected more money to spend in the community,
where it changes hands over and over.
If your business is not located on a snowmo-
bile trail or does not provide goods and services to
the snowmobile industry, it doesnt mean youre not
helped. Passing along the donation box without
contributing is failing to support the industry that
is key to the areas four-season economic picture.
The trail system relies heavily on easements
signed by generous, community-minded private
property owners. It also utilizes public lands such
as national, state and county forests.
As the snowmobiling season kicks into full
gear this month in Vilas and Oneida counties, we
tip our caps to the dedicated, hardworking volun-
teers who have taken the time to brush, sign, relo-
cate, inspect and otherwise prepare the trails.
These are the hardy individuals who run trail
groomers long into the night, often in subzero con-
ditions, in order to provide residents and visitors
alike some of the finest, most scenic trails found
anywhere in the world.
We understand that some businesses will
donate more than others to trail grooming, depend-
ing on how directly they benefit from the trail sys-
tem. But its still important to note that donations
would not have to be extremely burdensome if all
businesses would kick in something.
Vilas County supervisors voted recently to
keep all-terrain vehicle (ATV) routes off paved
county highways, a commendable stand from the
safety perspective of both motorists and recreation-
ists.
And except for some very short stretches that
may link town roads or trails, ATVs dont belong on
the shoulders or right-of-ways of county highways.
Until a new vote shows otherwise, Vilas County
residents oppose the use of county land for trails
by a 2-to-1 margin.
Forest trails are the safest, most practical
option for ATV routes followed by town roads. Even
manufacturers warn against riding the off-road
machines on paved surfaces.

fueled with a 20-pound tank of
gas which will hold a pair of
frying pans large enough to
serve three armies in one serv-
ing.
Along with an assortment
of ladles, spoons, tongs, spatu-
las and other cooking equip-
ment, my gear looks a little sil-
ly compared with that which
Trog and Uma made do with.
Oh, and heaven help most
modern campers should a lit-
tle rain fall on their parade.
Back in the day, Uma and Trog
simply huddled under their
crude shelter wrapped in a
woolly mammoths hide, or
more likely they went about
their daily business, rain or no
rain, chalking a downpour up
as a minor annoyance.
Campers these days have
nothing less than a 30x30 tarp
spread out over their camp-
site, ensuring that their
biggest annoyance will be a
rush of raindrops falling on a
plastic roof obliterating the
sounds of nature they have
come to the woods to hear.
That is, if theyre not one of
those people who consider
themselves to be camping in a
$250,000 monstrosity of a
fifth-wheel or motor home
they consider to be the modern
equivalent of a tent. Dont
even get me started on them.
For myself, when the rain
falls, I usually just stay out in
it, continuing to fish, hike,
hunt or whatever it is Im
doing at the moment.
If it rains too hard, I retreat
to my tent, grab a good book
and read away the storm.
Truth be told, theres nothing I
like better than lying on a
sleeping bag listening to rain
pelting my tent and thunder
booming.
Granted, I have my modern
accoutrements that your aver-
age caveman would only shake
his head at in disbelief, but for
the most part, I like my camp-
ing as wild, rustic and remote
as I can make it.
I may not have a wooly
mammoth hide, but I have
slept my share of nights under
a shelter that was nothing
more than a wool army blan-
ket draped over a tight rope
strung between two trees with
a thick layer of pine boughs for
a mattress.
Some of the camping trips I
remember and treasure the
most were the simplest, solo
trips where I carried little
more than a frypan, book of
matches, a fork and knife, a
container of bacon grease, an
axe, a sleeping bag and a fish-
ing rod.
When in such places where
my only companions were coy-
otes yipping through the night
and a squadron or two of
mosquitoes the latter kept
at bay by the latest in bug
dope formulas I felt as close
to Trog and Uma, I think, as a
modern camper can.
Yes, they would laugh at
even my simple pack full of
camping accessories, but I
think they still might approve
of me as a throwback to their
days, at least in spirit.
Here at the beginning of
what surely will be a typical
long, cold winter in Wiscon-
sins North Woods, it may
seem a foolish time to be
thinking of camping on a
steamy summer night, but
sometimes these kinds of
thoughts just run through
your mind.
Standing in my garage a
few minutes ago, looking for
ice fishing gear and finding,
instead, a bag of tent stakes
and a blackened wire grill that
should have been put away in
their proper places months
ago, thoughts of camping just
naturally filled my head.
Trog, Uma, Ill be out there
with you again in a few
months. Save a saber-toothed
rump roast for me.

of solar electric panels, but
because of the worlds largest
solar collector seawater,
Olsen said.
Because we live on land, we
dont often think too clearly
about the seas. But the oceans
cover about two-thirds of the
planet. They absorb a lot of
heat energy when light shines
on them. Each day they soak
up enormous quantities of
energy from the sun, warming
and evaporating as they do so.
Its evaporation from the seas
that fills the sky with clouds.
Water in the clouds comes
down as rain or snow.
Olsen sees precipitation as
the linchpin of renewable solar
energy. Thats because the
rains flow into major rivers
across which weve built
hydroelectric dams. By run-
ning the water behind the dam
through turbines, we generate
electricity. Electric utilities
take that energy and move it
from the dams to our kitchens
and workplaces.
The dams have several good
features. One is that they have
the ability to cheaply store a
great deal of energy. The vast
reservoirs behind each dam
are natural storage devices.
Solar electric panels on a roof
dont have this feature unless
linked to expensive batteries
that degrade over time. Sim-
ply put, dams can easily pro-
duce electricity when the sun
isnt shining, a clear advan-
tage in having them power the
grid.
If we ever get a large slice of
our electricity from windmills
and solar panels, I think there
will still be room for the dams.
They like fossil fuel and
nuclear plants are able to
produce juice on a still night
when the wind isnt blowing
and the sun isnt shining.
Because we want large
amounts of electricity at our
fingertips 24-7, windmills and
solar panels cannot be our sole
source of electricity.
Another positive attribute
of the dams is that they make
a lot of electricity without pro-
ducing any greenhouse gases.
And once the basic investment
of constructing the dams is
finished, they are economical
to run because their fuel is
freely supplied by Mother
Nature. Thats essentially why
those of us who live in regions
of the country with dams have
relatively cheap electric rates.
From where I sit, the hydro-
electric dams are gifts that
keep on giving every time we
switch on the lights.

Dear Editor:
In the Dec. 7 issue of the
News-Review, Lonah Reiss-
mann of Rhinelander wrote
that Governor Walker gave
away $4 million in tax cuts to
corporate interests in exchange
for 470 jobs.
She said that meant tax-
payers gave corporations
$851,063 for each of those jobs.
(If that were true, Id sign a
recall petition myself.) If you
divide $4 million by 470, the
result is $8,510.63, not
$851,063 for each job as stated
in the letter. If Obamas $870
billion stimulus had been as
efficient as Walkers $4 million
tax cut, it would have created
102 million jobs.
We all make mistakes.
Unfortunately, many who read
Ms. Reissmanns words
believed her and were eager to
run out into the cold and sign a
recall petition . . . maybe some
did.
Ms. Reissmann further
states the U.S. corporations
are sitting on $1.3 trillion that
they should be investing to help
grow our troubled economy. At
the same time she says, a com-
pany doesnt decide overnight
to expand they study for
months, even years, before they
expand/hire.
Is it possible that those com-
panies are studying what the
current Obama administration
will do to provide incentives for
growth and expansion.
Consider the Keystone
pipeline from Alberta, Canada
to Texas. It is said that this
project could result in 20,000
jobs that will pay a lot more
than minimum wage. Twenty
thousand jobs that pay an aver-
age of $40,000 per year result
in a boost to the economy of
$800 million. At 10% federal
tax rate, thats $80 million in

As the holidays approach,
the giant Asian factories are
kicking into high gear to pro-
vide Americans with mon-
strous piles of cheaply pro-
duced goods merchandise
that has been produced at the
expense of American labor.
This year will be different.
This year, Americans will
give the gift of genuine con-
cern for other Americans.
There is no longer an excuse
that, at gift giving time, noth-
ing can be found that is pro-
duced by American hands. Yes,
there is!
Its time to think outside
the box, people. Who says a gift
needs to fit in a shirt box,
wrapped in Chinese-produced
wrapping paper?
Everyone yes, everyone
gets their hair cut. How
about gift certificates from
your local American hair salon
or barber?
Gym membership? Its
appropriate for all ages who
are thinking about some
health improvement.
Who wouldnt appreciate
getting their car detailed?
Small-American owned detail
shops and car washes would
love to sell you a gift certificate
or book of gift certificates.
Are you one of those extrav-
agant givers who thinks noth-
ing of plunking down the Ben-
jamins on a Chinese-made
flat-screen? Perhaps that
grateful gift recipient would
like his driveway sealed, or
lawn mowed for the summer,
or driveway plowed all winter,
or games at the local golf
course.
There are a bazillion owner-
run restaurants all offering
gift certificates. And, if your
intended isnt the fancy eatery
sort, what about a half-dozen
breakfasts at the local break-
fast joint. Remember, folks,
this isnt about big national
chains this is about sup-
porting your hometown Amer-
icans with their financial lives
on the line to keep their doors
open.
How many people couldnt
use an oil change for their car,
truck or motorcycle, done at a
shop run by the American
working guy?
Thinking about a heartfelt
gift for mom? Mom would love
the services of a local cleaning
lady for a day.
My computer could use a
tune-up, and I know I can find
some young guy who is strug-
gling to get his repair business
up and running.
OK, you were looking for
something more personal.
Local craftspeople spin their
own wool and knit them into
scarves. They make jewelry
and pottery and beautiful
wooden boxes.
Plan your holiday outings
at local owner-operated
restaurants and leave your
server a nice tip. And, how
about going out to see a play or
ballet at your hometown the-
ater.
Musicians need love, too, so
find a venue showcasing local
bands.
Honestly, people, do you
really need to buy another
10,000 Chinese-made lights
for the house? When you buy a
$5 string of lights, about 50
cents stays in the community.
If you have those kinds of
bucks to burn, leave the mail-
man, trash guy or babysitter a
nice big tip.

longer about draining Ameri-
can pockets so that China can

Dear Editor:
Last week, in response to
Alan Tulppos letter about state
budget priorities, Rob Krieghoff
wrote that the Gov. Doyle bud-
get of 2009-10 was the biggest
spending bill in the history of
the state and that the state
didnt have the money to cover
all of those expenses.
Well, not exactly. Figures
from the nonpartisan Legisla-
tive Fiscal Bureau show that
the last Doyle budget was large
($62,192,112,300), but not as
large as the 2011-12 budget
signed earlier this year by Gov.
Scott Walker
($64,323,927,000).
So, it turns out that Scott
Walker, not Jim Doyle, has set
the state spending record.
It also turns out that now
the state has plenty of money
to pay for Walkers larger bud-
get. Its just that the governor
and Legislature chose to spend
that money on different things.
And I think that was Al
Tulppos point.
