),567 5($' POLK COUNTY—Wisconsin State trail passes, required for bicycle riders 16 years of age and older on Polk County’s two state bike trails, the Gandy Dancer and the Stower Seven Lakes, are available at six self-registration locations on the trails. On the Gandy Dancer Trail, a self-registration box is located in Frederic by the 1901 Soo Line Depot, and new for 2015, at the Polk County Information Center in St. Croix Falls. The Stower Seven Lakes Trail has four locations, in Amery, Wanderoos, Deronda and Nye. Passes are sold at many area businesses and attractions, but the self-registration boxes provide an option when those locations are not open. Polk County receives around $10,000 a year from trail pass sales, resulting in around $250 a mile for maintenance on the two trails. Wisconsin is celebrating 50 years of rails to trails this summer, and what would be a better way to celebrate than to take a bike tour on some of the state trails that started 50 years ago with the Elroy/Sparta Trail? State trail passes are $4 for a daily pass and $20 for an annual pass. They are good on all Wisconsin State trails that require passes, and expire on Dec. 31 of each year. – Polk County Tourism Council ••• STATEWIDE - State lawmakers have voted to preserve funding for the Department of Natural Resources to pick up dead deer from Wisconsin highways. Gov. Scott Walker’s budget would have deleted funding for the DNR’s car-killed deer program, and to hear the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau describe it, the consequences could have been ugly. The program removed nearly 24,000 deer from Wisconsin highways last year. Without the funding, that responsibility would have fallen to highway workers. Or WKH GHHU FRXOG KDYH JRQH XQFROOHFWHG ,Q D PHPR WR ODZPDNHUV WKH Ă€VFDO bureau wrote “Dead and decaying deer on the roadside are unsightly and can dampen Wisconsin’s reputation as a tourist destination.â€? Lawmakers decided to keep the program around after all, budgeting roughly $1.5 million from the state’s forestry fund to pay for dead deer removal. They also made it easier for drivers to remove the carcasses themselves if they want to. - Shawn Johnson | WPR News ••• RICE LAKE - A freshman Republican lawmaker from northwestern Wisconsin is working to spare the state’s two-year colleges from Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed cuts to the University of Wisconsin System. State Rep. Romaine Quinn, of Rice Lake, said he isn’t opposed to the governor trimming the UW System, but he’s drawing a line when it comes to the 13 UW colleges across the state. Walker’s budget would cut the state’s two-year campuses by $6.5 million. UW-Barron County is in the heart of Quinn’s district and he said there’s no fat left to trim. “All the arguments you hear about the big four years, whether it’s trimming salaries or talking about tenure, those solutions just aren’t applicable to these two-year schools, and we need to recognize that,â€? Quinn said. Quinn will offer a budget motion to shift the $6.5 million in cuts from two-year campuses to the state’s four-year universities. A similar motion by Rep. Ed Brooks of Reedsburg would exempt UW-Extension from cuts. - Rich Kremer | WPR News

ST. CROIX FALLS - You can be a part of Festival Theatre’s 25th-anniversary season. In the middle of May, the theater’s summer acting troupe arrives to begin the rehearsal process for the summer season. Most of the actors come from outside the area, and host homes are needed for their housing. Festival Theatre utilizes a long-standing Host Home Program, which matches guest artists with area hosts for the duration of their time working at Festival. Guest artists’ stays range from three weeks to seven months, but part-time hosts are also needed for shorter stays. Festival’s Host Home Program is well-established, and many hosts open their homes year after year. Others are just entering the proJUDP IRU WKH Ă€UVW WLPH DV ZDV WKH case with St. Croix Falls Mayor Brian Blesi in 2013.

Investigators then went to Acre-Kendall’s home, where they found his mother, crying, stating that he admitted to being the stabber, that they had the knife and that he would turn himself in to police. “She (Acre-Kendalls’ mother) said he admits it, but said that they were scared. She said that they had the knife and were going to turn it over,â€? Gearhart said.

Civil case against tribal council member dismissed HERTEL - St. Croix Tribal Council Member Aimee Awonohopay’s petition for an injunction against fellow council member Elmer “Jay� Emery was dismissed in Burnett County Circuit Court on Monday, April 20. Awonohopay had been granted a temporary restraining order against Emery on Wednesday, April 8, after an altercation in Tribal Council chambers. In her petition, she had claimed that an argument between her and Emery had escalated to threats of physical violence. She said that Emery put his hands on her shoulders and was shouting at her. The court ruled there was not enough evidence of ongoing incidents to meet the repeated conduct criteria, and although there was physical contact, the intent of the contact could not be determined. Emery claimed that he put his hands on

her shoulders and asked if she wanted to go outside in an attempt to de-escalate the argument. With the court ruling, the temporary restraining order is no longer in effect. “I still contend that all employees, including the Tribal Council, are entitled to a safe and productive work environment,� Awonohopay said in a statement released Monday, April 27. “Our Tribal Council chambers are, indeed, a place for healthy debate and formal action on controversial issues, but not a place to silence or shame one another. “I will continue to be a voice for our tribal population who has demanded change and better government representation over the past decade,� she concluded. - with information from Burnett County Circuit Court

It was Moore’s idea to keep two senior board members on each committee for continuity’s sake, and add a newly elected member to each committee. New school board members will receive an orientation and training early next month. A portion of the unusually large audience was in attendance to address other concerns during the public comment section of the meeting.

Bids are being sought for 17 energy projects and

for 20 additional projects with an estimated cost of $411,150. The total building projects package has an estimated cost of $1,391,150. The district has been planning the projects since April 2014. With WKH UHĂ€QDQFLQJ RI WKH GLVWULFW GHEW DQG including the expense of these projects, the property tax mill rate is projected to decrease after 2018. Frederic has now joined Luck and Unity in approving a contract with the Kobussen transportation company to provide school bus service to the three districts. Robinson said the details of the contract are still being worked out. Frederic has decided to not issue preliminary nonrenewals to any of the fulltime faculty. The deadline for issuing these nonrenewals is April 30. Robinson said the school board and district wants to concentrate on building programs for

the future. Related to that building, the district has approved a new teacher compensation model, which among other things, will offer longtime teachers more opportunities for compensation increases. Teachers will now have 25 levels of compensation while formerly their pay was capped after 13 years. Robinson says the goal is a culture of growth with the teachers. While Frederic and other school disWULFWV PXVW PDNH VWDIĂ€QJ GHFLVLRQV QRZ for the coming school year, Robinson said the districts face the challenge of making those decisions before they know what decisions the state will be making on school funding. He said none of the time lines in the budget process line up, with districts making expense decisions before they know the details of district income. One area of uncertainty is the hiring of

special education teachers. Robinson said Frederic has two openings and knows of about eight special education openings in the area with a shortage of available teachers. Frederic has decided to suspend the Foreign Exchange Student Program for the coming school year. Robinson said there is still a lot of grief after the death of an exchange student and the district wants to revisit the details of the program.

Sometimes she would come home after a full day of work, correct some homework,

then stay up until midnight with her treasurer workload. Having the tax roll on a computer changed everything. Now, it has the feeling like she is “done before I even get started.â€? Kolander didn’t exactly campaign to become Daniels treasurer in 1973. One of the requirements of the job is residency in the town, so when the previous treasurer, Ione Anderson, moved out of the town, she couldn’t be treasurer and someone in the Town of Daniels would have to take her place. Longtime Daniels residents may recall that prior to Anderson’s term as treasurer, her husband, Marvin (Buster) Anderson, KHOG WKH RIĂ€FH XQWLO KLV GHDWK $QG EHIRUH that, Buster’s father, Lloyd, was Daniels’ treasurer.

But back to 1973 and Kolander’s story. Kenneth Beck was the town chair at the time. Kolander thinks he thought about who all lived in the town and thought of her - who had a newborn and wasn’t doing anything (she laughs as she says this; along with anyone else who has ever had a newborn). Beck asked Kolander if she would be treasurer. Kolander replied that she would think about it. The two chatted for DZKLOH WKHQ %HFN DVNHG LI VKH ZDV Ă€QLVK thinking yet.

2QH GD\ D \HDU I am proud to be among the minority. I am a veteran. At a young age we were called to do our duty in protecting our country. I was, as were many of my friends, glad to do our part. we left our homes and families and went to do our job. Our country said they needed us and we responded. We put our right hands up and swore to defend the United States of America to our death if need be. In most cases we served our time and came home, some were not so lucky. After the service, most of us got meaningful work, we raised families, paid our taxes, owned our homes, voted and were law-abiding citizens. We invented, we educated, and created new and better. Now many of us are older, our productive years are over. I read an interesting letter yesterday, written by a person who does not want the veterans to have one day in the year to honor their service to country by riding on the Gandy Dancer Trail. To my way of thinking, this is very wrong. Without our service, what type of government might we have here - feudalism, dictatorship or perhaps communism? I feel that anyone with some intelligence would want to honor the veteran, or is one day in a year too much to ask? Don Rovney Milltown

Part of her decision was that Wisconsin had not managed its wolves responsibly, sustainably or in the interest of the public trust. Scott Walker and fellow Republicans, especially Tom Tiffany, now want to remove 27 scientists within the Bureau

of Science Services. These scientists study poaching, wildlife populations, forest health and effects of pollution and climate change.

Both ideas are very unpopular with Wisconsin citizens, according to the new poll conducted by the Marquette University Law School. The council’s plan would eliminate both of those cuts and make other changes. The local school aid reduction is opposed by 78 percent of those polled. Poll director Charles Franklin said that is an “eye-catching level of opinion.� It also raises questions about the Republican push to expand support to private schools. The governor blamed his low ratings on the media coverage of his budget ideas, saying the press has not been accentuating the positive. That’s a familiar response from politicians when things aren’t going well. But his popularity might be saved when new tax-revenue estimates are released. Revenue Secretary Richard Chandler said he expects the estimates will be higher.

Accepting federal Medicaid money as part of Obamacare is not a new idea. Democrats have suggested it could dramatically ease the state’s budget crunch.

By Aug. 20, the state, towns, villages, schools and tech colleges will have received their full tax levy amounts through the tax settlement process.

ome statistics boggle the mind. Single men, on average, change their bed sheets four times a year. One hundred percent of people die on or within six months of their birthday. There were more deaths worldwide last year by toaster than by shark. Fifty percent of all health-care dollars are spent in the last six months of life. Ninety percent of all Americans live within 15 minutes of a Walmart. The sun emits 23,000 terawatt-years of recoverable energy every year. That last one is attributed to Dr. Richard Perez, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Albany in New York. ,W PDGH OLWWOH VHQVH WR PH WKH ÀUVW WLPH I read it. Terawatt-years? Turns out, when talking about the sun, we have to go big. A terawatt is a trillion - that’s a one followed by twelve zeroes - watts and a terawatt-year represents that amount of energy emitted constantly over a year’s time. But that statistic is only meaningful if you know that we earthlings use about 17 terawatt-years of energy per year currently. Or, put differently, the sun emits more than a thousand times as much energy as we use in a year. Currently, we in the U.S. generate more electricity from coal, about 39 percent, than any other source while solar accounts for less than 1 percent.

Consider this one from a July 1, 2013, 6FLHQWLĂ€F $PHULFDQ DUWLFOH 7KH ZRUOG¡V deserts receive more energy beamed down from the sun in six hours than we use worldwide in a year. If we covered just 4 percent of our deserts with solar panels, we could power the world. Or, put differently, a 30- by 40-mile grid in the Mojave Desert could potentially generate all of the electrical energy needs of the U.S. But is that doable and feasible? The 4,000-acre Ivanpah solar facility in the deserts of California may provide some answers. Ivanpah uses concentrating solar power technology, amplifying the sun’s power with mirrors. When it’s fully operational, it will generate about 390 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power around 140,000 homes. It is the largest solar installation ever undertaken in the U.S. and it will go a long way toward answering some of the feasibility questions: How do you keep the mirrors free of desert sand and dust? What will the cost be of transmitting electricity from a remote desert

location to the homes it powers? But policy questions are another matter and seem to throw up bigger obstacles than the purely technical ones. First, there are the potential problems associated with the highly-centralized nature of installations like Ivanpah. Disruptions of any kind mean a loss of power to huge numbers of people. Large installations are more vulnerable to terrorist attacks, and governments may be reluctant to build them for that reason. Secondly, the fossil-fuel lobbies are powerful, and, no secret here, contribute massive amounts of money to political campaigns. In turn, they receive subsidies, both direct and hidden, that can PDNH LW ORRN PRUH SURĂ€WDEOH WR FRQWLQXH down the path of fossil-fuel extraction than to change course to what some see as unproven new technologies. But the very recent past has seen some alliances shift as new numbers point to solar energy being competitive with and in some cases more economical than traditional dirty-fuel sources. No less a conservative source than Forbes magazine, in their Sept. 11, 2014, issue, ran an article titled Solar Continues Trumping Fossil Fuel Pricing.â€? While fossil fuel prices have dropped in the recent past, the author points out that “the economics of solar power have changed at a much faster clipâ€? and “the average solar panel costs 75 percent less WKDQ LW GLG MXVW Ă€YH \HDUV DJR Âľ 7KH DUticle concludes by noting that “gas and oil prices can only fall so much farther from here; but solar’s innovation curve (including ancillary technologies like batteries) is still plenty young enough to continue disrupting the energy economy for decades to come.â€? From all indications, solar will soon be more economical than the older technologies on a per-watt basis. Perhaps the future will see a mix of

larger solar installations of the Ivanpah variety and smaller community or home-based projects. Locally, the Polk-Burnett Electrical Cooperative undertook a community solar project last year that eventually died on the vine for lack of subscribers. The proposed 80 kW array would have been sited at the co-op’s Centuria headquarters and potential “investorsâ€? (co-op memberowners) would purchase 500-watt units for $1,650, more than recovering that investment over the next 20 years in the form of reduced utility bills. Sadly, not enough subscribers signed on - though WKHUH ZDV VLJQLĂ€FDQW LQWHUHVW DQG WKH project was scrapped for now. Here’s hoping they try again in the near future. Meanwhile, Polk County is looking at the possibility of a 600 kW solar project WKDW ZRXOG EH Ă€QDQFHG E\ WKLUG SDUW\ investors. And the possibility of a solar rental start-up, where individual homeowners could lease photovoltaic panels for rooftop placement, is looming on the horizon. This type of arrangement, which eliminates the need for a big upfront investment on the homeowner’s part, has already been implemented successfully in California. There has been a notable tilt toward solar in the past six years, and it’s clear that the raw materials of an affordable, carbon-free future are within our grasp. The statistics point toward unlimited possibilities, a chance for a new, clean energy future that that would need to capture just a fraction of the available energy from the sun. Despite the obstacles, both practical and political, doing it is the easy part. Summoning the will to let go of the past and realize that vision is the challenge ahead.

Jon Erpenbach wanted the Legislature’s budget committee to require new quarterly reports from the state patrol on all the expenses the state pays to protect the governor. “The amount of money being spent right now protecting the governor nowhere near the state he was elected to govern is ridiculous,� said Erpenbach. Republicans voted it down. Budget committee cochair John Nygren called it political theater. 7KH :LVFRQVLQ 6WDWH 3DWURO SURYLGHV VHFXULW\ IRU WKH JRYHUQRU KRXUV D GD\ VHYHQ GD\V D ZHHN DQG WKLV \HDU WKDW V PHDQW WURRSHUV KDYH VSHQW D ORW RI WLPH WUDYHOLQJ 3KRWR E\ :LVFRQVLQ 1DWLRQDO *XDUG

It’s nesting season for loons in Wisconsin

Biologist says loons should start laying eggs next week

Kayla Blado | WPR News STATEWIDE - Loons have migrated back to northern Wisconsin for the spring nesting season. They can be seen and heard at many lakes across the state. Stan Tekiela, a naturalist and biologist, explained that loons have recently returned to the lakes where they nested last year and are in the process of reestablishing a bond with their lifelong mate. “When they spend their winters down south, they don’t do it as a family unit. They do it individually,� said

Tekiela. “They migrate by themselves; they winter by themselves and they come back by themselves and they meet up on the lake where they were last year.â€? According to the biologist, the loons remember each other and simply need to acclimate themselves again. “They’ve been apart all winter long. They simply swim side-by-side, spend time together, and redo their nest a little ELW WRJHWKHU Âľ VDLG 7HNLHOD ´7KLV LV VXIĂ€cient to cement the pair bond when they come back.â€? 7HNLHOD H[SODLQHG WKDW ORRQV ZLOO Ă€QLVK establishing their pair bonds soon and move on to nesting. He recommended that people put out their nesting platforms soon, if they haven’t yet. “Usually they start nesting around May

1. Their nesting affair is kind of minimal. They pull up some plant material from the immediate vicinity right around the nest and then they’ll get ready to lay two eggs.â€? Tekiela said. “It takes about 28-30 days for incubation and so we should start VHHLQJ RXU Ă€UVW KDWFKLQJ DURXQG -XQH ´ The next step for the babies, according to Tekiela, is a swimming lesson with the protective parents. “As soon as the babies hatch, within 24 hours, the babies are in the water. They spend the rest of their life in the water. When they get tired, about every 30 minutes or so, they have to sleep,â€? said Tekiela. “They climb up on the parents back, and they’ll kind of go under a wing. They’ll sleep on the back for about 20 minutes and then they’ll be active again.â€?

The babies are only able to physically climb up on the back for about 10 days, explained Tekiela. However, the parents continue to look out for their offspring. “They are really tight family units. It’s really funny when they can’t ride on the backs, but (parents) still need to keep track of their baby, they’ll simply lift a wing. The chick will swim up alongside the adult, put their head under the wing, and the parent will kind of grab the kid in a headlock-noogie type thing,� said Tekiela. “Then they’ll drag the baby across the lake with them as they swim around, holding on to the kid with their wing. It’s one of the most hysterical things you see.�

Cumberland woman loses life in Hwy. 48 crash Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer BARRON - A Cumberland woman lost her life in a head-on collision with a milk truck on Tuesday, April 28, in Barron. Stephanie Ann Newville, 20, was westbound on Hwy. 48 at 6:24 a.m. driving a 1998 Pontiac when she crossed over the centerline into the path of the eastbound 2011 Mack milk truck driven by Leroy Broker of Turtle Lake.

Humane Society holds spaghetti fundraiser

Capital campaign for new facilities expected to begin this summer

WEBSTER - The Humane Society of Burnett County held their annual spaghetti fundraiser on Saturday, April 25, at the Webster Community Center. The president of the humane society board, Mindy Clark, explained that the spaghetti fundraiser generally raises enough money to cover about a month or two of operating expenses and is one of several fundraisers raising money for operating funds each year. Other events to raise operating funds tentatively scheduled for this year iare a Walk for Animals, a couple of wine-tasting events and music in the park concessions on July 2. The Humane Society of Burnett County always accepts donations throughout the year. On top of raising money for routine expenses, this summer the humane society

is planning a capital campaign to raise money for a new humane society building in the Town of Meenon, just south of Webster. Already the 63-acre parcel has been purchased and paid for in full. Animals lovers are encouraged to watch for details of future fundraisers and the capital campaign on their Facebook page or at hsburnettcty.org. - Sherill Summer

They were trailing by two runs against the Cameron Comets going into the sixth with ace Tristan Brewer on the mound.

Cameron girls frustrate Pirates, for a while Pirates bust open close game in the fourth Grantsburg 7, Cameron 0 Scott Hoffman|Staff writer GRANTSBURG – Things were looking bleak for the Grantsburg Pirates. Cameron’s ace Samantha Gerland had the Pirates guessing with an off-speed curve and was going through the Pirates in order. At the plate the Comets were able to get runners on, but in the top of the third they had bases loaded and after a delayed steal, were feeling pretty good about themselves right up to the point that the Pirates brought up the corners. Pirate shortstop Cassidy Lee was able to sneak behind third base and a perfect throw from Jordan McKenzie had Cameron’s Ali Kringle dead to right. From that point on Grantsburg was a different team in their win over Cameron Monday, April 27. Cameron was able to tag Pirate ace Livi Tucker for a season-high six hits and four walks, but Tucker also retired 13 by strikeout.

Scott Hoffman|Staff writer ST. CROIX FALLS – Keeping the Pirates off the base paths and scoring runs has been a dilemma for nearly all teams that have faced them this season. Saints sophomore Katie Kopp did an admirable job of doing just that Thursday, April 23, in St. Croix Falls. The only problem with this plan is Grantsburg’s ace Livi Tucker is also very good at keeping opposing team’s off base, as she had 12 strikeouts in seven innings in the Pirates win. Pirate coach Steve Johnson was impressed with the young Saints.

Electronic deer and bear registration will provide convenience to hunters MADISON – After a successful 2014 pilot program, deer and bear hunters in Wisconsin will be able to electronically register their harvest during 2015 hunting seasons. Electronic registration will provide additional convenience and reduced cost for hunters and will also give the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources instantaneous access to harvest data. Electronic registration is currently in use for Wisconsin’s turkey and goose hunting seasons, and agencies in other states have reported high hunter satisfaction through electronic registration for deer and other big game. While walk-in registration was the only option available for many hunters in the past, all deer and bear will be registered electronically in 2015. In-person registration is expected to continue to be available in many locations throughout Wisconsin, and will also use the new system. “We are encouraging local businesses to volunteer their services as a registration station to help give hunters an opportunity to continue their traditions,� said Kevin Wallenfang, DNR deer ecolo-

gist. “Any business can offer registration services if they are willing to provide a phone or computer for public use, or assist a hunter with registration. We have worked with stakeholders and will continue to offer on our website a list of businesses that will offer in-person registration with the new system.â€? In 2014, 14,000 hunters were selected to register deer by telephone or online and test a new electronic registration system. Those hunters registered more than 10,000 deer electronically during the archery, crossbow, muzzleloader, and gun deer seasons. “We received feedback from a number of hunters, and overall, most users found both the telephone and online systems easy to use and very convenient,â€? said Wallenfang. “We’ve used many of their suggestions to make our system even more user-friendly in 2015.â€? Improvements for the 2015 deer season include a shortened and much simpler FDUFDVV WDJ FRQĂ€UPDWLRQ QXPEHU ,Q DGGLWLRQ D PRUH HIĂ€FLHQW NH\SDG EDVHG SKRQH menu will replace the voice-activated system used in 2014. With help from Wis-

consin hunters, the electronic registration process has been further streamlined to allow hunters to register their deer with ease. According to Dave MacFarland, DNR bear ecologist, while bear hunters will also be required to use electronic registration, they will still need to submit a tooth from a harvested bear. “While the transition to electronic registration will provide some unique challenges, we hope to make it as simple as possible for hunters,� said MacFarland. “Historically, we have seen nearly 100 percent compliance in the submission of bear samples – continued partnerships with Wisconsin’s bear hunters will help keep this track record of success going under the new registration system.� Hunters who successfully drew a bear permit in 2015 will receive further instructions and sampling materials by mail this summer. To register electronically, hunters will simply need to go online or call the registration system and provide the same basic harvest information as in the past. Upon successful registration, each hunter will

Conservation Congress report on deer council’s population goal Delegate Larry Damman | Washburn County Deer Advisory Council NORTHWEST WISCONSIN — The Washburn County Deer Advisory Council reviewed their preliminary quota decision and public survey comments at their April 20 meeting. The news for hunters is looking up after two poor seasons. The winter severity index was low and green up is coming early. Last year’s fawns surYLYHG WKHLU ÀUVW FULWLFDO ZLQWHU DQG D JRRG new fawn crop is expected this spring. 7KHUH ZLOO EH VLJQLÀFDQWO\ PRUH GHHU WR see during the 2015 season. Still the council faced a number of herd management challenges. Deer are not distributed evenly through the county. The forest habitats in the northern part of the county have lower deer densities and will take longer to rebound. Agricultural lands and private lands, mainly in the south, with more brushy and grassyopening habitats have more deer and more potential to overpopulate quickly. The council’s preliminary 10-percent population goal increase this year was GLIÀFXOW IRU PDQ\ KXQWHUV WR XQGHUVWDQG What it means is that when the last hunting season closes next January, the popu-

lation will be around 10 percent greater than it is right now. All mortality, from car kills, predators, including the anticipated buck kill and an antlerless quota of LV IDFWRUHG LQ $W WKH Ă€QDO PHHWLQJ the council decided to keep the 10-percent increase goal but lowered the quota to 1,600 to account for antlerless harvest under youth hunts, military and disabled permits that automatically get an either/ or tag under state law. This correction assures that the total antlerless harvest won’t exceed 1,780. Under the new deer rules, the only way to address the uneven deer distribution is how the quota is divided between public and private land. The council decided to split the quota 80 percent for private land and 20 percent on public. This breaks down to an antlerless harvest of three per square mile on public land that is primarily in the northern forested part of the county and seven per square mile on private lands. Hunters will have to specify private or public land when they buy a permit. There was a lot of discussion on whether to allow any public land permits at all. “Deer don’t see boundaries,â€? said councilor Mike Peterson. “There are lots of places where deer are more abundant

and move back and forth between private land and public land.â€? The council felt public land hunters shouldn’t be entirely excluded from the opportunity to harvest antlerless deer. The online survey showed 42 percent of hunters believe the only way to increase the herd is to have bucks-only seasons. The logical assumption is that the more does you have in the population, the faster the population will recover from a bad winter. To their credit they are willing to VDFULĂ€FH KDUYHVW RSSRUWXQLWLHV QRZ VR WKH herd can reach some optimal level as soon as possible. Acting on those beliefs has some negative implications for legitimate hunter opportunity, habitat quality and overall health of the herd. Deer concentrate in sheltered areas to minimize the effects of winter cold. They die when deep snow prevents them from ranging out to feed. The more deer in a wintering area the more likely they will run out of edible browse. Even a so-so winter can cause sigQLĂ€FDQW GHHU PRUWDOLW\ ZKHQ SRSXODWLRQV are high but a more modest population can come through the same sort of winter with little effect and continue to increase. Councilor Tom Perlick said, “As a farmer I’ve come to realize you can’t totally con-

trol Mother Nature but you can nudge her toward sustainable production. We just have to take our best shot.â€? Not all antlerless permit holders will Ă€OO WKHLU WDJ ,Q RUGHU WR UHDFK WKH TXRWD harvest goal you divide the quota by the success rate. In Washburn County the antlerless success rate has always been right around 38 percent except for T-Zone seasons. Success rates were even lower when populations were at their highest because hunters had more free or cheap $2 tags available than freezer space. The 2015 quota of 1,600 divided by 0.38 comes to 4,210 permits with 3,368 available for private and 842 for public land. If the Natural Resources Board approves the council’s recommendation the permits will go on sale some time this summer before bow season. “It’s all really in the hands of the hunters,â€? says Chairman Joe Weiss.â€? If you think the population where you hunt is too low, you don’t have to buy a permit.â€?

Former employees gather for memories and more Greg Marsten | Staff writer LUCK – Over 50 former Duncan Yo-Yo employees gathered for the first time since the Luck production plant closed in the mid-1960s, celebrating and reminiscing on the nearly two decades of the toyproducing company’s history in Luck. The event was held on Thursday, April 23, at the Luck Senior Center, where volunteers from the Luck Area Historical Society worked behind the scenes to track down and gather the former Duncan team members, many of whom have since passed. ´:H Ă€JXUHG LW ZDV QRZ RU QHYHU Âľ stated LAHS member Bob Dueholm. “So many of their stories would otherwise be lost.â€? The event included displays of Duncan history and local activities, as well as some of their formidable yo-yo and spinning top displays from the Luck Historical Museum. But the real reason was the people, and their stories, which included many that were both melancholy and informational. People told of their jobs on the various production lines, their friends who worked behind the scenes, and even some of the reasons for the plant coming to Luck in 1946. By the early 1960s, the Duncan plant was one of the regions largest employers, with between 500-630 employees at their highest, producing between 5,000-7,000 yo-yos daily, and up to 18 million annually at their peak. Luck became known as “the yo-yo capitol of the worldâ€? as Don Duncan’s growing company used innovative marketing and traveling demonstration teams of yo-yo tricksters to grow the brand. Several of the reunion attendees recalled stories of the Duncan family, from picnics at their local lake cabin to stories of frustration in a lawsuit to inventions that touched on some of the engineering and innovations connected to the company. Duncan not only created the toy company with his name, he is also started the Good Humor Ice Cream Company, and also is credited with starting the “proof of purchaseâ€? redemption concept, as well as involvement in parking meters.
