Relay For Life opens Friday 14th annual event has $73,000 goal ___________ BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR

___________

The 2013 Relay For Life of the Northwoods will be this Friday and Saturday, Aug. 2-3, with a goal of raising $73,000 for the American Cancer Society and its programs of research and education. According to event chairwoman Kitty Sookochoff, this year’s theme is “Make Some Noise. Finish the Fight.” “The theme relates to the American Cancer’s Society’s 100th birthday this year,” said Sookochoff. “While one goal is to raise money, the other intention of the Relay is to bring a community together to support the fight against cancer.” The 14th annual Relay will be at the Northland Pines High School outdoor track in Eagle River and will get under way Friday afternoon. The opening ceremony, featuring honorary caregiver Dick Hughes and honorary survivor Gretchen Yagow, will start at 6 p.m. “The opening ceremony

will include the caregiver and survivor lap, as well as the colorful parade of teams with 25 teams participating,” said Sookochoff. “We have registered more than 125 survivors. The highlight of every Relay For Life opening ceremony is the victory lap, where survivors, their caregivers, family and friends walk the track to kick off the event.” The all-night vigil will include a new bike rally, the Locks of Love tent, educational presentations, activities for all ages, a silent auction, the luminaria ceremony at 9:30 p.m., and food and refreshments. The activities will continue throughout the night and into Saturday morning, with the closing ceremony at 9:30 a.m. Sookochoff said the Relay For Life is for all area residents and visitors. “The Northwoods Relay For Life is a fun family event To RELAY, Pg. 3A

NR 115 changes seek flexibility ___________ BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR

___________

Proposed changes to minimum statewide shoreland zoning standards aimed at providing more flexibility for property owners — including allowing more expansion of homes closer than 75 feet from the water’s edge — are the topic of public hearings in August. The proposed changes to Chapter NR 115, the state’s shoreland zoning regulations, are designed to make the standards easier for counties to implement, according to a state official. The changes also propose greater flexibility for properties along developed shorelines. Since Wisconsin revised

the minimum statewide shoreland zoning standards in 2009, some counties expressed concerns that the revisions would be administratively difficult to implement and enforce, according to Russ Rasmussen, deputy administrator for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Water Division. The proposed changes would allow for more expansion of homes built before the late 1960s, when the statewide minimum shoreland standards were originally set and established that structures needed to be set back 75 feet from the water’s To NR 115, Pg. 4A

Marshfield Clinic, cancer center offer women breast care coordination When a woman hears that she has something suspicious on a mammogram, or perhaps finds a lump in her breast during a self-exam, the next steps can be frightening. Knowing what to do, who to talk to and how to navigate through a complex health care system can be overwhelming. Marshfield Clinic has developed a complete, comprehensive breast care program, overseen by a breast care coordinator, to help women understand the health issues, treatment options and support resources available. This program is coordinated by Lacey Welke, RN, CBPN-IC, at the Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Center and at James Beck Cancer Center in Rhinelander. She helps women navigate through all aspects of breast care.

“I am very glad to offer this service to women in the North Woods,” said Welke. “I have provided this type of care and coordination in the past for women in the Wausau area and understand the need for consistent, reliable and knowledgeable support for women facing breast issues. “We offer women individualized care planning so, we can make choices based on complete information,” said Welke. Results of the client’s screenings and diagnostic imaging are available almost immediately through the clinic’s use of electronic medical records. “We consult with a team of highly-skilled professionals in the areas of radiology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgery, as well as genetic and

reconstructive surgical specialists and physical therapists,” said Welke. “There may be access to clinical trials and support groups that would benefit women on their journey back to health. Together, we develop individualized care for women through screening, diagnosis, treatment, therapy and recovery options.” Welke is a registered nurse with specialized training in breast health. She received her nursing degree from Northcentral Technical College in Wausau and attained her certification as a breast patient navigator in imaging and cancer care (CBPN-IC) from the National Consortium of Breast Centers in Chicago. “This program offers women improved quality of breast care services as well as peace of mind,” Welke said.

James Beck Cancer Center on forefront of cancer treatment with TrueBeam system In a promising development for cancer patients in the North Woods, James Beck Cancer Center in Rhinelander announced that it has acquired the TrueBeam system, an innovative system that enables a radically different approach to treating cancer with image-guided radiotherapy. The TrueBeam system, from Varian Medical Systems, was engineered from the ground up to deliver more powerful cancer treatments with pinpoint accuracy and precision. Center officials said it uniquely integrates new imaging and motion management technologies within a sophisticated new architecture that makes it possible to deliver treatments more quickly while monitoring and compensating for tumor motion, opening the door to new possibilities for the treatment of lung, breast, prostate, head and neck, as well as other cancers that are treatable with radiotherapy. It will be operational in November 2013 at the James Beck Cancer Center. “The TrueBeam system allows for increased accuracy and outcome of all treatments in every anatomical location,” said Peter Heiberger, M.S., a medical physicist at James Beck Cancer Center. “With the utilization of image-guided positioning, dynamic dose modulation and faster treatment times, this

state-of-the-art equipment creates a wide range of sophisticated treatment possibilities,” said Heiberger. “This investment in technology is an investment in our patients and community.” Faster treatments With dose delivery rates that are 40% to 140% higher than earlier generations of Varian technology, the TrueBeam system can complete a treatment commensurately faster. This makes it possible to offer greater patient comfort by shortening treatments, and to improve precision by leaving less time for tumor motion during dose delivery, according to Heiberger. “Intelligent” automation further speeds treatments with an up to five-fold reduction in the number of steps needed for image guidance and dose delivery. Simple treatments that once took 15 minutes or more can be completed in less than two minutes once the patient is in position. “Due to the increased accuracy and decreased treatment times, patient comfort is maximized by decreasing the amount of time the patient needs to lay motionless on a hard surface,” said Heiberger. “Every patient appreciates a shorter treatment time.” Enhanced precision The precision of the TrueBeam system is measured in increments of less than a mil-

Relay For Life luminarias available for purchase The 2013 Relay For Life of the Northwoods is set this Friday and Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Northland Pines High School track, and the traditional candlelit bags will line the track as the ceremony begins at 9:30 p.m. “This is a very moving time during the Relay For Life,” said Luminaria Ceremony chairwoman Donna Martens. “These bags are a reminder that we are here so that those who face cancer will be supported, those who have lost their battle will not be forgotten and that one day cancer will be eliminated.” Luminarias can be purchased for a $5 minimum donation. There are forms at Sally and Jo’s Salon on Divi-

sion Street as well as at Peoples State Bank. Peoples State Bank also will serve as a drop-off point for cans that ceremony officials will collect to weigh down the bags. They’re looking for about 1,100 cans, since they’ve had that many luminarias in the past. Area food pantries will pick up all the cans at the completion of the event to be used for their distributions. “Luminarias are purchased to honor someone who is fighting cancer or in memory of someone who has lost their fight,” said Martens. “As these luminarias glow through the night, they represent our shared visions for a cancer-free future.”

She said allowing lateral expansion of older homes or cabins would be a good thing. “The thing they don’t think about is if someone between the ages of 45 and 65 wants to add a bedroom, for example, they don’t want it upstairs,” she said. “This will help then add a bedroom or bathroom in the 200-foot expansion limit.” Rasmussen said property owners can seek a permit for projects that would add impervious surfaces to their land, or seek a variance. The proposed changes would raise the levels at which such permits or variances are required in urbanized areas and allow more flexibility for properties where the impervious surfaces are draining away from the lake or to a storm-water system designed to treat the runoff, according to Rasmussen. Schmidt said a Wisconsin County Code Administrators subcommittee reviewed the proposed changes and supported the changes knowing NR 115 remains a minimum set of standards in most areas and that a county may choose to tailor its ordinance to fit the desires of local elected officials and residents. “If the Vilas County Zoning Committee has other comments or suggestions, I will represent Vilas County at one of the hearings,” said Schmidt. Gov. Scott Walker called for a two-year delay implementing NR 115 in 2011, saying the 2009 version of NR 115 did not have adequate local

edge. Under the proposed changes, property owners of existing structures closer to the water than the longtime state standards would be allowed to expand their structures beyond the 75-foot setback in any direction. The current rule limits people to expanding vertically in the same footprint. If the structure is at least 35 feet from the ordinary high-water mark, vertical expansion is limited to the height allowed in NR 115 and lateral expansion is limited to a one-time expansion of 200 square feet. No portion of the expansion may be any closer to the ordinary high-water mark than the closest point of the existing principal structure. To offer more flexibility for properties along developed shorelines, there are proposed changes concerning impervious surfaces. Under the current rules, properties within 300 feet of any lake, river or stream face limits on the amount of roofs, pavement and other hard or impervious surfaces. Under the DNR’s proposed changes, base limits on impervious services would remain at 15% in most places statewide, but could be up to 40% for residences and up to 60% for commercial, industrial or business land, within those urbanized areas where the shoreline is highly developed. In Vilas County, Zoning Administrator Dawn Schmidt said the county already has a 30% impervious surface limit for residential properties and a 50% limit for all other zon-

input including from county code administrators and locally elected officials at both the town and county level. To develop the changes to the shoreland zoning standards, Rasmussen said the DNR convened a stakeholder group and developed proposed changes that answered the concerns while attempting to meet the standards’ original intent of preserving and restoring natural shoreline plants and limiting hard surfaces near the water to help protect water quality, provide fish and wildlife habitat and provide natural scenic beauty. “We think the stakeholder group has helped us achieve a balance between answering the concerns of some counties and providing more flexibility for property owners while continuing to protect clean water and habitat,” Rasmussen said. There are three ways for people to weigh in on the proposed changes — testify at public hearings, file comments electronically or provide them by U.S. mail. Public hearings are set in five communities in August, with all hearings starting at 2 p.m. with a brief presentation and lasting until 6 p.m. In this area, a hearing is set for Thursday, Aug. 22, in Tomahawk at the Rodeway Inn & Suites, located at 1738 Com-

Vilas County Court report

Eight Lac du Flambeau residents make appearances on drug charges Following sweeping raids by 11 law enforcement agencies on the Lac du Flambeau Reservation June 26, at least eight Lac du Flambeau residents had their initial appearance on drug-related charges in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. Michael W. Allen Jr., 45, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with manufacturing/delivery of marijuana, as a repeater, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 22 at 10 a.m. According to the complaint, Allen allegedly sold one “20 sack” of marijuana for $20 to a confidential informant in a controlled buy at his residence between June 18-20 in Lac du Flambeau. Allen was convicted of possession with intent to deliver marijuana in Vilas County in 2011. Gladys M. Diver, 32, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with two counts of delivery of schedule I or II narcotics, and party to a crime, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 22 at 10:30 a.m. Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III continued her $1,000 signature bond. According to the complaint, Diver allegedly sold two oxycodone pills for $80 from her vehicle in a controlled purchase June 20 in Lac du Flambeau. Samuel N. Vazquez, 31, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with manufacturing/delivery of marijuana, possession of marijuana and misdemeanor bail jumping, all as a repeater, had a pretrial conference set for July 30 and a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 26 at 8:45 a.m. According to the complaint, Vazquez sold three grams of marijuana for $60 in a control purchase at his residence in Lac du Flambeau June 26. Susano Marquez, 47, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with three counts of delivery of schedule I or II narcotics and possession of narcotic drugs, all as a repeater, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 22 at 9 a.m. Her $2,500 signature bond was continued. According to the complaint, Marquez allegedly sold oxycodone in three controlled purchases April 1821, June 16-19 and June 1720, all in Lac du Flambeau. Annette S. Poupart, 48, of Lac du Flambeau, charged

with manufacturing/delivery of schedule I or II narcotics June 22, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 5 at 3 p.m. Bertha King, 53, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with manufacturing/delivery of non-narcotics June 26, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 22 at 3 p.m. Joseph V. Smith, 38, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with manufacturing/delivery of schedule I or II narcotics June 26, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 30 at 9 a.m. Louis J. LaBarge Jr., 50, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with manufacturing/delivery of non-narcotics, and possession of an illegally obtained prescription July 26, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 22 at 2:30 p.m. In other felony cases, John A. Price, 61, of St. Germain, charged with attempted strangulation and suffocation, misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct had a plea and sentencing hearing set for Aug. 19 at 3:15 p.m. A warrant for Price’s arrest was issued July 3 for missing a plea and sentencing hearing. That warrant was quashed last week when the court was told Price missed the hearing for health reasons. According to the complaint, Price was arrested Feb. 26 in St. Germain after he became upset over a medical bill and allegedly attempted to strangle a woman at her home. Joshua M. Schultz, 23, of Rosholt, charged with operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, had a

preliminary hearing set for Aug. 5 at 8:45 a.m. According to the complaint, Schultz allegedly took a 2002 Honda owned by another person and while he was driving the car, he crashed it into a tree in the town of Arbor Vitae June 22. The owner told the sheriff’s department he did not give Schultz permission to drive the vehicle that morning. Tanya M. Turney, 40, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with third-offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated with a minor child in the vehicle, operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration with a child under 16 in the vehicle and operating while revoked, had a plea and sentencing hearing set for July 29. Her $10,000 cash bond was continued. Turney was arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated June 28, 2012, in Lac du Flambeau and allegedly had a preliminary breath test of 0.199%. Officers said there was a minor child in the vehicle. J. Curtis M. Wolfe, 25, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with forgery, uttering a forgery and misdemeanor theft, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 22 at 2 p.m. According to the complaint, Wolfe allegedly endorsed a check made payable to another person.

The owner of the check told investigators he was incarcerated at the time the check was sent to

him. Louisa M. Young, 30, of Lac du Flambeau, pleaded no contest and was found guilty to an amended charge of misdemeanor battery. She was originally charged with child abuse-intentionally causing harm from an incident Feb. 15. Judge Nielsen withheld sentence and placed Young on probation for one year. She may motion for early release from probation after six months if all conditions are met. Conditions of her probation include: continue any alcohol and other drug abuse counseling and follow through as deemed necessary by agent; complete parenting classes; not to possess or consume intoxicants; and no taverns. Travis M. Williams, 19, of Lac du Flambeau, had a charge of substantial battery amended to misdemeanor battery, party to a crime, during a preliminary hearing last week. He also is charged with disorderly conduct, party to a crime. He entered a plea of not guilty to both charges and a pretrial conference was set for Sept. 10 at 9:30 a.m. in the district attorney’s ‘ office. According to the complaint, Williams allegedly was with a group of four suspects who beat up another man about 8:30 p.m. April 12 near the intersection of Chicog and Ellis Point streets in Lac du Flambeau.

DMV explains how to get ID card after name change Those who have undergone a name change and want a federally-compliant driver’s license or identification card must take along proper documentation to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), said Bureau of Field Services Director Kristina Boardman. One option is a valid U.S. passport listing the current name. Other acceptable documents include certified marriage certificates, records of divorce or court orders.

“People coming in to get a federally-compliant driver’s license or identification card need to bring in a number of documents that prove U.S. citizenship, identity, Wisconsin residency, name and date of birth,” said Boardman. Proper documentation includes a marriage certificate — original or certified copy if the original is not available — certified record of divorce, or a certified court order.

A testimonial from one of our patients I came to Dr. Dave a few years ago with a very stiff neck and some back problems. My dad had similar problems as well as very bad arthritis. His lower back was completely stiff. I was in my late 40s when I started to show signs of arthritis and I thought I would end up like my dad and just have to live with it. Today at 72, I’m very mobile and active. I’m now free from most pain. Thank you, Dr. Dave.

With ordinances allowing all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on town roads in Three Lakes and Sugar camp already on the books, there’s been talk of potentially connecting the two towns for ATVs by designating County Highway A as a route. Safety remains a primary concern for the Oneida County Public Works Committee — the body in charge of making the decision — although it has postponed ruling on the matter pending a permit rewrite. “We’re in the process of rewriting the actual permit for ATV usage,” said Oneida County Highway Commissioner Freeman Bennett Jr. “The reason we’re doing that is because we want to be the same as the Department of Natural Resources and the state of Wisconsin.” Bennett added that contradictory regulations would only confuse potential ATV operators. “We don’t want people to be driving around on county roads not knowing if they’re in compliance or not,” he said. “We just don’t want it to be confusing for people.” Bennett and the Corpora-

City council plans meeting Aug. 12 to discuss snowmobiles on city streets ___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

Allowing homeowners and lodging visitors to use city streets to access established snowmobile trails and city businesses will be the topic of a special meeting of the Eagle River City Council Monday, Aug. 12, at 6 p.m. at City Hall. The public meeting will specifically focus on establishing streets that homeowners and visitors may use snowmobiles, creating a designated parking area near the city public works garage for vehicles and snowmobile trailers, getting feedback if permits should be required and naming specific streets where snowmobiles would be prohibited from use. At last week’s city council meeting, Ken Storms, president of the Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club, urged adoption of state statute provisions allowing a person to ride a snowmobile from their residence or lodging location on the most direct route to an established trail. “Park Falls has adopted the state trail access law and it’s working well,” said Storm, who described to the council his recent visit to look

at Park Falls’ system of streets for both snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles. Councilwoman Kim Schaffer said she was against allowing snowmobiles on every street. But Councilman Jerry Burkett said city police could “issue citations and forbid the offender from using the streets if they misbehave.” Eagle River Police Chief Mark Vander Bloomen indicated that might conflict with state law, saying he could only revoke the privilege if the city created an operating permit. An operating permit is what Councilwoman Carol Hendricks proposed in a list of suggestions she distributed. Hendricks’ proposal would create a permit costing $25 and would be for city residents, but not city property owners who were non-residents. A weekly permit for visitors also be created, she said. She wanted a “substantial fine” for violations, but didn’t identify what that fine would be. Additional restrictions would include no metal studs and the permit would have to be carried by the person riding the snowmobile as opposed to having a permit

decal on the snowmobile. “A permit would allow residents to have the privilege without opening it up all over,” Hendricks said. “I’m not in favor of opening up the city the way you’re talking about.” Burkett said he would be against allowing snowmobiles on Wall, Pine and Railroad streets, although the draft ordinance would permit the city council to allow snowmobile operation presumably anywhere for specific purposes such as races, parades and derbies. A number of letters and audience comments had a concern about safety, specifically several homeowners on Bond Street who have to cross the Eagle River or Yellow Birch Lake to reach a trail. Of the 19 persons in council chambers, four were residents of the city and all four were supportive of street travel for snowmobiles. Other business In other business, the city council authorized Mayor Jeff Hyslop and Clerk/Treasurer Debbie Brown to sign documents issuing a 20-year $3,325,000 obligation refinancing bond not to exceed 4.55% through Quarles & Brady.

The council decided it will seek bids on a police department remodeling project, including a secure evidence room and more storage space, estimated to cost about $100,000. After a brief discussion on music from Tipsy Turtle at 107 S. Railroad St., the application for amplified music was withdrawn by Kristen Shenk. Amplification permits requested for Northwoods Relay For Life at the Northland Pines High School track Aug. 2-3 and Rock the River concert at the AMSOIL Derby Track Aug. 24 were approved.

tion Counsel met last week to discuss the details of the potential permit. “They’re now in the process of writing it up formally,” said Bennett. “Then we’ll run it through the committees for the last time and allow them to make a decision on what we want to do.” The Public Works Committee will likely revisit the issue at either it’s next meeting Aug. 8 or the following meeting Aug. 22. “We should definitely know something no later than the third week in August,” said Bennett. The proposal to open the road originally was put forward by the Three Lakes Nicolet ATV Club. With County A being a high-traffic road with many twists and turns, Bennett has voiced that safety will be a factor in the final decision made by the committee. “It’s a crooked and curvy road, and there’s a high volume of traffic, which makes me a little nervous. Highway A is one of the roads up there. There are 1,600 cars per day that travel on this road. Safety is definitely a big factor,” he said in June.

Parking committee supports $20 fine ___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

After receiving complaints of illegal parking in a private lot, the Eagle River Parking Committee last week recommended that the city council create a $20 parking fine thereby allowing city officers to write municipal ordinance citations. Police Chief Mark Vander Bloomen said the police department has almost a daily issue with customers of Synergy Salon & Spa on Wall Street parking in the Travelers Inn parking lot. “Our ordinance doesn’t specify a fine and the state bond schedule has a $186 figure,” Vander Bloomen told the committee. “I don’t want to hit a tourist with a $186 ticket.” Vander Bloomen said regular customers at Synergy have been told of the issue, but he said it appears drop-in customers are the problem. “We’re being called four or

five times a day, five days a week,” he said. “We need the council to establish a parking fine where we can give a ticket and leave. Once ticketed, the vehicle can be towed. Warnings have not worked.” Parking committee member Brian Crist made the first motion recommending a $50 fine. He was supported by committee member Bill Doerr. Voting against the measure were committee members Sally Kemp and Vander Bloomen. Committee Chairman Jerry Burkett cast his tie breaking vote against, therefore the motion failed. Kemp then made a motion to recommend a $20 fine and it was supported by Vander Bloomen. That vote also resulted in a 2-2 tie and Burkett cast his vote in support. The recommendation will be given to the city council for consideration.

Vilas opposes second attempt at consolidation ___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

Historic lake study draws to close ‘Curtain’ lifted from Little Rock Lake ___________ BY DEAN ACHESON SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW

___________

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and University of Wisconsin personnel on Monday lifted — literally — a curtain on landmark studies of a Vilas County lake that spanned three decades, leading to a better understanding on the impact of acid rain and airborne mercury pollution on freshwater ecosystems in the North Woods. The groundbreaking research on Little Rock Lake led Congress to rein in acid rain levels through legislation. The conclusions by state, national and international experts conducting studies on Little Rock Lake showed the negative impact of human intervention, principally coal-powered electrical generating plants, and led to passage of important amendments to the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act that capped sulfide dioxide emissions that contribute to acid rain. DNR research scientist Carl Watras has been witness to the Little Rock Lake research since the early 1980s. “It’s very satisfying,” he said of the mountain of studies. “A team got together and was able to accomplish a lot of their goals. Nature also brought this lake back to its original condition.” The “curtain” was a 250foot long plastic shield lowered in 1984 to separate the two basins of 45-acre Little Rock Lake near the UW Trout Lake Research Station in Boulder Junction. One lobe of the hourglassshaped lake was left in its natural state, affected only by weather; the other was gradually acidified using

small doses of sulfuric acid to simulate increasing acidic deposition. A team of scientists from the Wisconsin DNR and the University of Wisconsin (among many others) sought to unlock the mystery behind acid rain and its detrimental effects on freshwater lakes. Little Rock researchers were able to confirm observations by other scientists in the United States, Canada and Sweden that even small amounts of acid rain increases water clarity, but at the expense of fish populations. At Little Rock, largemouth bass produced eggs which hatched. However, the young-of-year were frail and not able to survive the winter. As the water turned more acidic, dense growths

of green filamentous algae (nicknamed “elephant snot”) layered the lake bottom. Another finding, though not initially anticipated, was the extent to which mercury accumulates in fish located in the treated area. New investigative methods had to be developed, including highly sensitive analytical techniques, to show how rainfall is the principal source of mercury in northern Wisconsin lakes. Certain bacteria in the lake convert the deposited mercury to methylmercury. The methylmercury is consumed by fish and passed up the food chain to animals that eat fish, including humans. Researchers were able to show conclusively, as they turned on and off the sulfu-

ric acid switch, these methylating bacteria inhabiting the lake increased and declined correspondingly as did the methylmercury production. As the treated basin recovered, scientists also observed the methylmercury levels declined in the reference basin too. They point to the declining use of mercury by industries in products such as paint and batteries, as well as stricter air standards that reduced mercury and acid rain levels in the atmosphere. More recently, troubling new data shows reacidification of Little Rock Lake, and, perhaps other lakes in the region. Climate change, they suggest, is causing lower water levels. A several-year drought in the North Woods started in 1998. The “acid drought effect” is a phenomenon whereby sulfate that had been reduced by bacteria is reoxidized when shallow sediments are exposed to air during drought. Following spring melt or heavy rain, sulfuric acid is regenerated and washes back into the lake. Sandwiched with many other Little Rock Lake studies through the decades was one that showed removal of fallen trees and other natural debris from the water adversely affects fish populations. It’s a concern where lakes have heavily developed shorelines. Although this particular body of research is over, the DNR says Little Rock Lake has been designated as one of three “sentinel lakes” in the region monitored quarterly to compare their behavior to changes in weather and atmospheric deposition over five- to 10year periods.

Moustakis wants apology from city ___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

The Eagle River City Council has extended an invitation to Vilas County District Attorney Al Moustakis to appear at its next meeting Tuesday, Aug. 13, to discuss allegations of city employees providing false information. The council wants to discuss, in open session, a letter received from Moustakis that made allegations city employees provided false information to the Lakeland Times in Minocqua for a July 16 newspaper article about Moustakis playing golf on county time at the municipal course. Moustakis stated in his letter of July 18 the Lakeland Times article says he informed municipal course officials about his displeasure in releasing his tee times they had on record and indicated he would golf elsewhere because of the record release. The tee time information was obtained from the city under an open

records request. “This is a false statement,” Moustakis claimed in his letter to city attorney Steve Garbowicz. “When I called (city clerk) Debbie Brown yesterday to find out which course officials made this false statement to the Lakeland Times, she told me she made the statement based on what Howard Manske (Eagle River golf course professional) told her. “I spoke to Howard last night and he denied ever speaking to the reporter at the Lakeland Times and denied ever telling Debbie Brown that I made that comment to him,” wrote Moustakis. “Furthermore, he admitted to me that I never made that comment to him and apologized to me for what had occurred.” Moustakis is requesting the city publicly apologize to him in writing with a copy of the apology to the Lakeland Times “to correct what is, at the very least, a careless disclosure of false information by a city employee regarding me, a public official.”

In a letter to Moustakis dated July 23, City Administrator Joe Laux acknowledged receipt of his letter requesting an apology and invited Moustakis to discuss the allegations before the full City Council and the public. “We have arranged to discuss your letter and the newspaper article at the next regularly scheduled Common Council meeting on Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. in the Eagle River Common Council chambers,” Laux wrote. “This meeting is open to the public. You may make your concerns directly to the council if you wish and the council may also have some questions or comments regarding your letter and any items that you may bring up in your dialogue,” wrote Laux. The Eagle River City Hall is located at 525 E. Maple St., one block west of Silver Lake Road. The Lakeland Times article stated Moustakis left the office early (before 4 p.m.) from his duties as Vilas County district attorney and went

golfing at the Eagle River course. The courthouse office hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The newspaper reported Moustakis had 11 tee times prior to 4 p.m. in 2009; five in 2010; six in 2011; and 12 in 2012. The Eagle River Golf Course is about a five-minute drive from the Vilas County Courthouse in Eagle River. Moustakis, who is an elected official, told a Vilas County committee last week that the total time he missed from work for those golf tee times likely totaled about three days of vacation. He also said he arrives early to the office — as early as 6 a.m. — on some days.

A second attempt to consolidate the county Public Property and Highway committees into one Public Works Committee was rejected by the Vilas County Board at its meeting last week in the Arbor Vitae Town Hall. In June, the county board voted 12-8 to merge the two committees but needed a two-thirds vote or 14 votes for approval. The same 12-8 vote in Arbor Vitae last Tuesday evening rejected the proposal for the second time. County board Chairman Steve Favorite, who would gain authority to appoint the new committee of seven persons and eliminate election of the present Highway Committee, favored the merger. “I’m going to speak in favor of this resolution,” Favorite said. “Most agree the number of committees, 22, is too many and I’m encouraged by seeing departments starting to work together in looking for efficiencies and a little discouraged by the county board only talking about (merging) committees and not departments. “Tonight, let’s get started and pass this. More will be coming from Legislative & Judicial (committee), so let’s get going on this and pass it.” Supervisor Chris Mayer, chairman of the Legislative & Judicial Committee, was absent from the June meeting and addressed the board. “I’ve heard the negative comment about not having the whole picture of the final product of consolidation,” Mayer started out saying. “If we had the final picture, we wouldn’t be a working government anymore. If it doesn’t work, we can change it; committee consolidation makes sense.” But supervisor Mark Rogacki had a different view. “I can’t think of a more critical decision than reorganization and we need a blueprint to make sure we do it right,” Rogacki pointed out. “You

wouldn’t buy a car one headlight at a time and we don’t know what the whole picture looks like and I’m opposed.” Supervisor Erv Teichmiller said it was a start and supported the merger. “Every one of us would like to save money and this is a way to save money without cutting services,” Teichmiller said. “It may not be a lot, but it’s a start and makes sense to me and I hope to pass this.” Two amendments were made to the resolution, clarifying it would go into effect in April 2014 at the reorganizational meeting of the county board after the April election. Because the resolution would change the standing rules, it required a two-thirds vote to pass, or 14 votes. A roll call vote had 12 in favor and eight opposed, therefore the resolution lost. Supervisors voting for creation of a Public Works Committee were Emil Bakka, James Behling, Mary Kim Black, Ed Bluthardt, Charles Hayes, Lorin Johnson, Mayer, Gary Peske, Charles Rayala, Teichmiller, Linda Thorpe and Favorite. Supervisors voting against were Maynard Bedish, Ron DeBruyne, Sig Hjemvick, Leon Kukanich, Dennis Nielsen, Rogacki, Kathleen Rushlow and Ralph Sitzberger. Supervisor Al Bauman, who voted against the merger in June, was absent from the meeting. Hjemvick, who voted for the merger in June, switched his vote and voted against it this time. After the vote, Mayer said he felt bad about the loss, indicating they couldn’t sell the new consolidated committee. Other possible committee consolidations are expected to be explored between now and next April. In other action, the board approved filling the vacant assistant corporation counsel position.

Hearings on Rest Lake Dam postponed The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is postponing public information hearings on a new operating order for the Rest Lake Dam in Vilas County while staff evaluate possible implications of a recent Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling on a separate water level order. “In light of last week’s Wisconsin Supreme Court decision on the Lake Koshkonong water level case, we need to evaluate how that decision will affect other water level orders around the state,” said Ken Johnson, Water Division administrator for the DNR. The Rest Lake Dam hearings were originally scheduled for Aug. 9-10 in Manitowish Waters and a draft operating order was scheduled to be released July 25. However, in light of the

recent decision, a draft order will not be released until the after the department can fully consider the court’s decision. New dates for Rest Lake informational hearings have not been set at this time, according to Johnson. “The department remains committed to share a draft of the Rest Lake Dam operating order with the public prior to finalizing a new order, but the court directed the DNR to consider additional economic information on the Lake Koshkonong case,” he said. “We’re working with our attorneys and economist to review the court’s decision.” The dates for a series of four public informational hearings on the Rest Lake Dam operating order had just been set and the first in a series of announcements was

released to a DNR GovDelivery subscription service for Rest Lake dam updates. The DNR is charged with the duty to establish water levels and flows that protect public interests in waters of the state, promote safety, and protect life, health and property. “Water level issues, whether they result from drought conditions, dam operation or an unauthorized activity, are often controversial, because they almost always require some balancing of competing public and private interests,” said Scott Watson, a DNR waterways supervisor working on the Rest Lake project. “It’s a great thing that people in Wisconsin are passionate about their public water rights,” he said. “Public

water rights are a tradition that date back to the state constitution.” DNR staff had already taken a significant amount of economic information into consideration in completing the draft order for the Rest Lake Dam, said Watson. After the Department has the opportunity to evaluate how the Supreme Court decision will affect issuing dam safety operating orders, a new set of dates will be scheduled for the Rest Lake Dam public information hearings. For more information on the status of the Rest Lake operating order, call John Spangberg at (715) 685-0431 or email john.spangberg@ wisconsin.gov.

In goals for 2014

Maintaining current services important to Vilas supervisors ___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

Maintaining the current level of services for Vilas County residents was a common goal for developing a 2014 budget, during discussions at the Vilas County Board meeting last week. Each supervisor was asked at the board meeting July 23 in Arbor Vitae to give at least one goal that would develop a better road map to guide the Finance Committee when it puts the 2014 budget together. The process was coordinated by UW-Extension Youth Development Agent Nancy Miller and UW-Extension Community Resource Development Agent Chris Stark. The ideas among the 20 supervisors were diverse, with some wanting outsourcing of county services through contracts and others preferring to keep current services with local employees. While most of the goals were fairly general in scope, county board Chairman Steve Favorite started out the process announcing he wanted to cut $400,000 from the sheriff’s department budget — this after $500,000 was cut in that budget for 2013. “We have to end pulling money out of the county general fund to balance the budget,” Favorite said. “The sheriff’s budget is one-third of our

entire budget, so my emphasis and focus will be on the sheriff’s department.” Supervisor Gary Peske focused on services to the public and the public expectation of services received from the county. “Emergency services are needed and wanted,” said Peske, who was a former director of the sheriff’s department communications center. He noted the county does not have a crippling deficit. Supervisor Sig Hjemvick said he was getting a bargain for the portion of his property tax bill that goes to the county. “My tax bill is about $4,300 a year and Vilas County gets about $800 of that,” Hjemvick revealed. “When I look at the services I get for $800 — highways, law enforcement — I’m doing well. Look at our needs, we’re not being extravagant and we need to keep our services at the level we’re at.” Supervisor Emil Bakka also didn’t want see a reduction in services. Supervisor Ed Bluthardt also felt taxes are reasonable compared to other areas. He wanted to increase income through economic development efforts. Finance committee Chairman Chris Mayer admitted the county’s general fund is healthy, but wanted supervisors to focus on department budgets to understand if the money being spent is levy

dollars or non-levy dollars. “We have to figure each budget for each committee and understand when we made decisions what the impacts will be,” Mayer stated. “My goal is to have a nonconfrontational discussion on the 2014 budget.” Supervisor Erv Teichmiller claimed the county has balanced its budgets since the unassigned general fund hasn’t changed much in the last two years, being above $7 million. “What I hear is property owners are tired of spending money on taxes when the county board keeps hanging onto it,” said Teichmiller . Finance manger Jason Hilger indicated the county unassigned general fund should be from 30% to 40% of the total budget, or $4.5 to $6 million. Currently, there is about $7.2 million in this fund. The goal of Supervisor Mark Rogacki was to reduce the county property taxes 2% a year for the next two years. Supervisor Ron DeBruyne favored a hiring freeze to see what the effect of the reduction-in-force downsizing has in 2014 and 2015. Supervisor Charles Hayes favored reduction in committee expenses through committee consolidation, even though a second try at a Public Works Committee just failed (see related story). Supervisor Loren Johnson also favored committee con-

solidation. Supervisor Dennis Nielsen said he wanted to retain the county’s present employees, but Supervisor Jim Behling suggested maximizing grants to the county and outsourcing work when positions become vacant. Behling also wanted a county vehicle fleet for employee use and to look at creating a secure juvenile detention facility at the former nursing home in Phelps. Supervisor Kathleen Rushlow said she wanted more openness among the board members. “We lack communication,” Rushlow felt. “I hate secrecy and I don’t like surprises; we need more communication.” Supervisor Mary Kim Black favored doing more to emphasize the county’s recreational opportunities. Supervisor Ralph Sitzberger, agreed, saying he wanted more money spent on improving the county parks and boat landings. Supervisor Linda Thorpe favored continued aggressive advertising of the county’s resources. Student representative Michael Orlowski said a public image was important for the board to consider and felt outsourcing services was the wrong direction to go. “Make sure Vilas County tax money goes to Vilas County businesses,” Orlowski told the supervisors.

SPECIALIZED SPACES

The Northern Wisconsin Initiative to Stop Homelessness (NWISH) Continuum of Care will join coalitions around the state Wednesday, July 31, in completing a local count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Staff and volunteers will count persons in shelters for the night as well as persons residing on the streets, under bridges, or similar places not met for human habitation. The collected data will assist the community in understanding the scope and size of local homelessness, engage in programs and service development, and to apply for state and federal funding. The NWISH Continuum of Care was established in November of 2009. This collaborative system exists to increase awareness and acts to promote and support the eradication of homelessness in Vilas, Oneida, Forest and Langlade counties. The organization is com-

prised of various state government and public housing agencies, non-profit and faithbased organizations, as well as funding and advocacy groups. The count will start with a kick-off event at St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church in Rhinelander, partnering with The Table, a dinner offered the last two days of the month that is open to the community at the church. Members of the NWISH Continuum of Care will have an outreach and education booth at The Table to provide resource and information about homelessness that evening.

Madison firm gets bid for Vilas tower

Stop in or call . . .

715.479.6762

___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

A bid for a county-owned communication tower at the Arbor Vitae highway facility was awarded to a Madison company, but the method of reviewing the five bids was questioned at a meeting of the Vilas County Communications Committee last week. Vilas County originally proposed to locate communication equipment for law enforcement and emergency services on an existing tower owned by Verizon in Arbor Vitae, but reversed that decision after negotiations for a reasonable monthly cost the county would have to pay failed. Five bids for a self-supporting tower were received, ranged from a high of $94,934 from Tri-State Towers of Fond du Lac to a low of $50,780 from Daniels of Madison, which was accepted. Daniels also had the low bids for the erection of new communication towers in Presque Isle and Conover last April. Although the meeting agenda listed “bid opening,” all bids had apparently been received electronically and had been opened and

reviewed previous to the meeting to determine if they complied with the request for proposals by Emergency Management Director Jim Galloway and consultant Jeff Nelson of PSC Alliance Inc. News correspondent Ken Anderson asked about the process of not opening the bids in a public meeting. “The bids were due July 17 and were reviewed by two persons,” Nelson explained to the committee, referring to himself and Galloway. “As it turned out, the low bid (of Daniels) was the first bid we received.” Committee member Sig Hjemvick asked if any of the bids were shown to anyone else, with the assurance they were not. Committee member Mark Rogacki asked if the bids could even be received electronically. Committee chairman Gary Peske said he was comfortable with the process since they are dealing with highly technical work and the county needed the expertise of their consultant. He admitted the same process was used for bids on the Presque Isle and Conover towers. Committee member Kathleen Rushlow also was com-

fortable with the process, but suggested they request an opinion from county Corporation Counsel Martha Milanowski. In a follow-up communication, Galloway indicated Milanowski approved the process with previous tower bids and was satisfied on how bids were handled. He indicated he will again seek Milanowski’s advice on the county’s bid process. The committee also approved the purchase and installation of a generator for the Arbor Vitae tower to Eagle Electric of Eagle River for $20,386 and security fencing for three tower sites to Fortress Fence Company for $3,553. Land O’ Lakes tower The current lease Vilas County has to use the WERL/WRJO tower in Land O’ Lakes will end this November and continued use is expected to cost more than the current $1,000 a year. The site also required the county to pay more than $7,000 a year for a dedicated telephone line since the tower could not handle county microwave equipment. PSC Alliance had proposed a con-

tract for $34,375 to study and make recommendations on a new tower site in the Land O’ Lakes area. It might be possible to locate a site on county forest lands in the area, the committee was told. Nelson said under the contract, PSC Alliance would do a site location, conditional use permit assistance, and provide height and loading requirements. He said the design would accept co-location of microwave equipment. The committee will forward the contract to Milanowski for review and place the contract approval on the August agenda.

VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS

OUTDOORS Trout country can soothe the soul I DROPPED a chunk of crawler into the current and let it float toward an undercut bank. A moment later, line peeled briefly from my reel to signal that a trout had taken the bait. It was the crack of dawn on the Deerskin River, and I was fishing a stretch along the Blackjack Springs Wilderness Area. There was a slight corner in the stream and the fast-moving water was cutting hard beneath the bank. My escape was as much away from the rat race of everyday life as it was from busy lakes in the peak of the summer boating season. No motors. No personal watercraft. No float planes cruising overhead. No cell phone coverage. Besides, cold fronts don’t have as much impact on stream trout as they do on walleyes and other lakes species. Last week’s fall-like weather made it an ideal time to steal away to a favorite trout stream. All I could hear on this peaceful morning were the calls of a pileated woodpecker in the distance, a deer snorting over the scent of human presence, and the gurgling waters of a gin-clear river. Wading in current was a welcome break from sitting in a boat seat on open water. Every year I get the urge to return to some of the wildest fishing country left anywhere in Wisconsin — the trout stream. There is something about trout country that can soothe a soul in need of escape. This is the home of native brook trout, fat black bears, fishers, pine martens and a bunch of water animals that include

In the Outdoors By Kurt Krueger muskrats, mink and beaver. I waited briefly after my first hit of the morning and set the hook. My rod bent around an alder branch that had been hiding my rather tall frame. It felt heavy and the head chugs were solid, indicating a decent-sized fish. Hoping for the best, I broke cover and got out into the stream for the fight. The fish was still deep in the hole when I emerged, but soon I got my first glimpse of what appeared to be a fat, feisty brook trout. The fish was all over the place, in and out of the undercut bank several times. But it never got my 4-pound test line hung up on the brush, and eventually I slid a net under the fish in heavy current. What a beauty. An 11-inch brookie was flopping in the net. I went to shore to do the unhooking, mostly because I’ve lost nice fish trying to unhook them and put them into a creel in midstream. These trout have a lot of muscle for their size, and their slimy skin makes gripping them mighty difficult. I took a couple of photos and just admired the beauty of my prize catch. God took some extra time when he created the brook trout. Their sides are a mix of green and silver, decorated with

little red dots inside blue dots, a green camouflage back, an orange belly and fins you’d expect on a saltwater fish — deep orange offset by black-and-white striping. I prefer the Deerskin for my trout forays because it is close, clean of weeds and offers a sand/gravel mixture that allows for wading downstream without kicking up a bunch of mud. It is unusually wild for being only a 12-minute drive from my office. I’ve seen deer fawns frolicking in the water, black bear cruising the clearings, grouse drumming on their favorite log, beaver dining on the bulbs of some vegetation, and mink hunting in bank holes. Blue herons and kingfishers are common visitors, as are ducks. Water rushing over gravel, trout taking flies from the surface and the music of songbirds are about the only detectable sounds heard between high ridges that guard the river valley from outside noise. My first brookie was joined by several smaller trout before it was time to call it a trip. There’s not a fish I’ve ever tasted that beats the brook trout, coated with seasoned flour and just fried in a pan of butter. Sometimes the adventure is the howl of a coyote in the distance. And when you see the fresh track of a black bear, in the mud of a small trail used as a shortcut between river bends, it can be quite exhilarating. Best of all, it is a quiet and tranquil place in which to escape all those things and places that are part of the noisy, congested

routine we call daily life. With a congressionally designated wilderness area fronting a long stretch of its east bank, the Deerskin is a wild place. I haven’t seen a bear in a couple of years, but it’s the kind of terrain they prefer. Like an old friend, the river’s sights and sounds bring back memories that were long forgotten. After many years, it seems there is a story to tell and a fish to remember from just about

Ruffed Grouse Society awards puppy to Snedden of Eagle River The Chain of Lakes Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society (RGS) gave away a purebred small munsterlander hunting dog last week as part of its Great Grouse Dog Giveaway. The puppy — donated by Lynn Kirsteatter of Northern Lights Kennel — was given to Brady Snedden of Eagle River. This was the second puppy given away by the society this year, according to member Dan Anderson. The first was delivered in June. “It’s a great way to get youngsters interested in grouse and woodcock hunting,” he said. In early June, essays were submitted from area youths explaining why they would like a hunting dog, and how they planned to care for it. The essays also included a note of approval from parents or guardians. There were many essays, and the Grouse Dog Committee of the local RGS Chapter narrowed them down to a few finalists. Each finalist then received a visit from members of the Grouse Dog Committee to interview the applicant and ensure that any puppies given away would find a good home. Snedden said he’s an avid hunter who chases grouse in the North Woods and travels to North Dakota each year with his family to hunt pheasants and waterfowl. He decided to name his new pup Dakota.

Waterfowl surveys show healthy duck numbers With high continental total duck and wetland numbers, state waterfowl biologists expect a 60-day duck season similar to recent years but with the possibility of bag limit changes for certain species. This information comes after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released continental duck numbers in the “Trends in Duck Breeding Populations” report July 12. “This continental survey information is an essential piece in determining Wisconsin’s waterfowl season frameworks,” said Kent Van Horn, migratory game bird ecologist for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). “The information we are seeing is promising for the

every bank and corner. I can still tell where the beaver dams were located 20 years ago, when stretches were flooded and embankments from the days of the Civilian Conservation Corps were lost. Many of them have been restored. There’s no better place to spend some quality time, catch a few fish and just take in whatever Mother Nature has to offer.

upcoming season.” The 2013 North American total duck population estimate was 45.6 million, which is the second highest on record and 33% above the long-term average. The 2012 estimate was the highest estimate on record and 6% above 2013. Wetland numbers across the survey area were up from last year and 35% above the long-term average. Mallard numbers were estimated at 10.4 million, similar to last year and 36% above the long-term average. Most other species estimates were above or at the longterm average. “With high mallard numbers and good wetland conditions, we are confident there

will be a 60-day duck season,” said Van Horn. “However, hunters should be aware of potential bag limit changes for canvasback and scaup.” “While canvasback and scaup make up a relatively small percentage of the overall Wisconsin harvest, these species are important to many duck hunters,” said Van Horn. “We may see changes to their daily bag limits in 2013.” Breeding canvasbacks were estimated at 787,000, similar to 2012 counts and 37 percent above the long-term average. This may allow for an increase to a two canvasback daily bag. Scaup estimates were at 4.2 million, which was 20% below 2012 and 17% below the long-term average. This

is similar to most recent years. The scaup harvest strategy is expected to call for a return to a two bird daily bag limit from last year’s four bird bag. The Canada geese that breed in northern Ontario, and known as the Mississippi Valley Population, make up about 60% of Wisconsin’s regular season goose harvest. These geese had a late start to the breeding season, but surveys indicated good production and low nest predation. Breeding estimates for 2013 were at 319,693. This is up 16% from last year but 10% below the long-term average. Wisconsin DNR staff will have more information in time for the early August public waterfowl meetings.

What a September-like cold front that was last weekend. But the surprising part of the cold front was that it didn’t seem to have a big effect on the fishing. The North Woods received some much-needed rain last week. Lake levels are good compared to last year, but water temperatures have taken a dive down to the low 70s. Those planning a day on the water are reminded to take some insect repellent along, as the lake flies and mosquitoes at boat landings can be a bother. Otherwise, conditions are great at this time of year with the slightly cooler water temperatures. The days are now getting noticeably shorter. Walleye fishing held up well last week, with evening action still the best, but you can fish successfully during the daytime also. The fish are holding in deeper weeds or in wood. Minnows have been the best bait for them, fished on jigs right at the weed edges. Fish very close to the COOL CRAPPIE CATCHER — bottom at all times Gus Fink, 8, of Three Lakes for these fish. recently caught this 12-inch Northern action crappie on a Three Lakes area has been very good lake. —Contributed Photo in the last week. Most of these fish have been caught by anglers actually fishing for bass or walleye in the weeds. Minnows work best, but they will hit just about any artificial bait. Look for the deep weeds on many lakes in the 10- to 13-foot range. They hold very well in these deeper weeds and you can run crankbaits or minnows on slip bobbers over these weeds. Bass fishing continues to be good, with the largemouths hitting well on plastics. Look for the thickest “slop” you can find for these fish. Surface baits are great fun at this time of year. Smallies are hitting on many lakes. They are usually over rocks and hard bottom areas. You can also twitch for these fish on calm days over shallow rocks with floating Rapalas. Muskie action continues to be good both during the daytime and at night. Now that we are further from the full moon period, daytime action has improved greatly. Surface baits and bucktails continue to be the best baits for these fish. Some larger fish are being caught as we slide toward late summer. Panfish activity is good, with bluegills again leading the way. Just find some weeds and use worms or waxies with light tackle for these fish. Crappie action has been very good this summer, with the crappies holding especially close to deeper wood. Minnows are best for these guys. Perch are hitting minnows and leeches in the deeper parts of weed beds. With very nice weather predicted, it will be a good week to be on the water. Good luck and good fishin’.

Lakes, a graduate assistant in wildlife in the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. —Contributed Photo

Elk calves fitted with tracking collars Despite a very late spring and hordes of biting insects, more than 250 hardy volunteers joined Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wildlife biologists to search the forests near Clam Lake for elk calves during May and June. This effort revealed that the year has started out exceptionally well for Wisconsin’s growing elk herd. Forty-five potentially pregnant cows were monitored this spring. From them, 35 to 37 new calves were expected to join the herd this spring. Of the calves that were born, a total of 23 were

found by volunteers and fitted with tracking collars that will provide future information about their survival. At least five additional calves have since been seen and not captured. “Generally, late springs are tough on Wisconsin elk calves. But this year was different,” said Laine Stowell, DNR elk biologist. “For the most part the elk found this spring were in great shape.” Stowell says there were two particularly encouraging characteristics of the 2013 elk calving season. Of significant importance is that for the first time, more females were

observed born than males, which will help with future growth of the herd, according to Stowell. Also of note is that no newborn calves have been lost to predation to date. Black bears are the most likely predator during their first six weeks of life. Within a week or two after giving birth, cows group together with other cows to provide added protection to newborn calves against predators. “This is the type of calving year we always hope for,” Stowell said. “A few more like this and we’ll really see some significant herd growth.”

More good news for Wisconsin’s elk herd came recently with the signing of the state budget where authority was given to the DNR to bring in additional wild elk to boost the Clam Lake herd and start a second wild herd in the Black River Falls area of Jackson County. Both plans have seen significant public support and financial backing from partners outside of the DNR. As a result, more elk may be arriving from a donor state starting in 2015.

Muskie Country Tournament Circuit holds two qualifiers over weekend The Muskie Country Tournament Circuit (MCTC) hosted two qualifying tournaments over the weekend with the Eagle River Chain event Saturday and the Sand/Dam Lake Chain tourney Sunday. While the area experienced record cold air temperatures for both tournaments, the extreme cold fronts didn’t deter either the competing anglers or the resident muskies. The events features big averages and plenty of action to go around for the field of competitors, according to organizers. Eight muskies more than 34 inches were scored at the Eagle River tournament that averaged nearly 40 1/2 inches per fish. Six muskies over 34 inches were registered at Sand/Dam Lake Chain, with a 40 1/4-inch average. Just 25 minutes into the Eagle River contest, the first muskie was registered by Kyle Weber and Jorden Gustman, who caught a 40 1/4 incher at 6:25 a.m. As conditions worsened, the muskie activity shut down. “It became evident as the day progressed that during the brief moments of relief, when the skies would brighten and the rains halted, the muskies would respond favorably and opportunities would present themselves,” said an event spokesperson. At 8:15am, David Godin and John Cestkowski scored on a 41 ½-inch muskie. Ben Peterson and Clay Heller tallied a 41 ¼ incher at 8:37 a.m., and doubled up with a 38-inch fish at 11:30 a.m. They were the only team to score two, giving them the win. The big fish of the day was measured by Justin Reynolds and Ryan Reynolds with a 42 ½ incher. The MCTC Eagle River tournament top five finishers were: Ben Peterson/Clay Heller, first place; Justin and Ryan Reynolds, second place; Dave Castonia and Steve Tilque, third place; David Godin and John Cestkowski, fourth place; and Phil Mar-

graf and Randy Kauranen, fifth place. Record cold still persisted at Sunday’s event, but like the previous event, the fish were still active with some size. Don Groskopf and Prescott Mahner got started in the early morning hours with a 37 ½-inch muskie, and they doubled up with a 42 1/4-inch fish at 8:29 a.m. Neil Barnett and Ryan Wahlgren scored on a 41incher and Ryan and Ron Meyers measured a 36 ¼inch fish in the early hours of the tournament. The largest muskie of the

day was tallied by Bob Dekker and Chip Bottrell at 11:30 a.m. with a 43-inch lunker. The lead changed hands for the fourth and final time of the day when Barnett and Wahlgren scored on a 41 ½incher, giving the duo 82.5 inches and the victory. The MCTC Sand/Dam Lake Chain top four finishers were: Neil Barnet and Ryan Wahlgren, first place; Don Groskopf and Prescott Mahner, second place; Chip Bottrell and Bob Dekker, third place; and Ron and Ryan Meyer, fourth place.

for the tournament. “We will be using judge boats throughout the tournament. Teams are required to signal a judge boat by cell phone to have the fish measured,” said Riedel. “A successful boat-side release does not constitute possession and allows further fishing for that day.” With the immediate release of the fish, it allows the tournament to abide by a 34-inch size limit instead of the state-required 40-inch muskie size limit, according to Riedel. The tournament is in memory of Paul Riedel Sr., who founded the event 37 years ago and hosted it for many years at the family’s resort. The tournament headquarters will be at the Hiawatha Hide Away on Duck Lake. For more information or to get a registration form, call Paul Riedel Jr. at (715) 6178345.

Presentation on amphibians set at Cloverland Town Hall Dr. Richard Howard of Purdue University will give a presentation on amphibians — including fighting bullfrogs — at the Cloverland Town Hall this Saturday, Aug. 3, at 10 a.m. The public is welcome to attend the presentation. In “Amphibians of Vilas County” Howard will talk about species including bullfrogs, tree frogs, peepers and salamanders. The hour-long presentation is sponsored by the Cloverland Town Lakes Committee which will have an

open meeting afterwards. The agenda will include a discussion on how Cloverland lakes can get their lake management plans updated, and also will seek ways to get Secchi disk readings done on more of Cloverland’s lakes. The Cloverland Town Hall is located at 5890 Perch Lake Road, north of Highway 70 between Sunset and Zeman roads.

Eagle River resident, former boxer, helped debunk Jack Dempsey myth ___________ BY PETE EHRMANN SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW

___________

Jack Dempsey won the heavyweight championship of the world 94 years ago when that was the greatest title in all of sports. He is still regarded as one of the greatest fighters in boxing history and one of the grandest figures in American sports. Eagle River resident Frank Linnemanstons’ boxing career consisted of three amateur fights, the biggest of which made him the Wisconsin Golden Gloves novice heavyweight champion in 1961. They never met, but the 72-year-old Linnemanstons became a footnote in Dempsey’s life 49 years ago when he helped debunk the myth that Dempsey annihilated Jess Willard in their July 4, 1919, championship fight because inside Dempsey’s boxing gloves his fists were encased in plaster of paris. Dempsey’s own manager, Jack “Doc” Kearns, made that astounding claim in his autobiography, published in late 1963. Kearns said that in their dressing room before the fight in Toledo, Ohio, he soaked Dempsey’s bandaged hands with water and then sprinkled powdered plaster of paris on them that hardened in the close to 100degree heat and made Dempsey’s mitts the equivalent of cement bludgeons. The much shorter and lighter Dempsey knocked Willard down 11 times in the gory fight in which the latter quit after three rounds. Kearns conveniently died soon after his memoir hit print, and to most sportswriters his revelation seemed a dubious last-ditch swipe at the reputation of the champion who’d acrimoniously split from Kearns a few years after the Toledo massacre. To prove it, on Jan. 18,

1964, Milwaukee Journal boxing writer Evans Kirkby went to the Golden Gloves gym in downtown Milwaukee with a can of plaster of paris. Casing the place for a Dempsey stand-in, he spotted the 6-foot, 2-inch, 200pound Linnemanstons, who just happened to be there because he’d been laid off from his job and didn’t have anything else to do. A Milwaukee native, Linnemanstons had become interested in boxing when his older brother, John, won the novice heavyweight title in the 1951 Golden Gloves tournament. A decade later, Frank — who was an all-city and all-state tackle in high school — followed in John’s footsteps by beating two opponents for his own Golden Gloves trophy. Linnemanstons thought about turning pro and even signed a contract with local boxing manager Eddie Metrie, but then decided

boxing “was too much work for what you get out of it.” He doesn’t recall much more about the experiment that linked him and Jack Dempsey than that the Journal paid him $20 for his trouble, but in a story in the paper the next day Kirkby related how trainer Al Fain taped up the hands of “our Dempsey of the day,” soaked them and then sprinkled on the plaster of paris. When it dried, wrote Kirkby, the result was “a thin layer of soft cement without backing which cracked at a slight touch and fell from the bandages at a slight brushing. “Little if any of the plaster of paris,” he concluded, “would have been on the bandages by the time Dempsey had traveled from his dressing room to the ring, where the gloves were put on.” Papers all over the world picked up the story, and within a week a telegram arrived at The Journal’s sports department.

“I greatly appreciate what you have done on my behalf in your investigation in the Kearns story,” wrote Jack Dempsey. “Would you please thank for me all the people who participated with you in your investigation. Thank you.” Not so thrilled was future Pulitzer Prize-winning sportswriter Red Smith, who in his popular nationally syndicated column congratulated The Journal “for the enterprise that cracked the Jack Kearns plaster story,” but said it was “a little saddening the way debunkers are always shooting our most charming legends full of holes.” “This business of putting an agreeable, if fragile, yarn to practical test is an old dodge of the meddlesome that takes a lot of fun out of life,” grumped Smith. Three weeks after standing in for Jack Dempsey, Linnemanstons was back in the ring. His trainer convinced him to enter the ’64 Golden Gloves tournament. But in his first fight in three years, Linnemanstons was more Willard than Dempsey, and lost by technical knockout in the third round. “I thought I won it,” he says. “That’s how goofy I was. I guess I really got tagged.” He worked at Enrico Steel in Milwaukee for 23 years and has lived in Eagle River for the last six years. He keeps in fighting shape by walking up to six miles every day. He also stays active babysitting his two grandchildren three days a week. Linnemanstons doesn’t follow boxing anymore, and doesn’t recommend it as a sport for young athletes because “you get your head pounded pretty good.” Even without plaster of paris. Peter Ehrmann lives in West Allis. He has been writing about boxing for newspapers and magazines for more than 40 years.

It’s official, the Green Bay Packers opened the 68th edition of training camp at Ray Nitschke Field last Friday morning. The training camp is an opportunity for fans to get a first-hand look at the 2013 version of the Green and Gold. According to the Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau and a 2010 study by AECOM, training camp, along with Packers Family Night, presented by Bellin Health, will attract an estimated 100,000 visitors from across the nation and as many as 20 foreign countries from July 26 through the final open practice Aug. 27. The economic impact of training camp is estimated at $10 million. For Packer fans, Nitschke Field will open 90 minutes prior to the scheduled practice time and will close 30 minutes after the completion of practice. Fans also can try the Packers Experience, presented by Kemps, a popular interactive game area that annually draws thousands. It returns for a 10th summer in the Tundra Tailgate Zone, located on the stadium’s east side. Free to the public, it runs through Aug. 3. The Future Lambeau Leapers Autograph Building, presented by Cleary Building Corp., is designed specifically for fans ages 12 and younger, and is located near the Tundra Tailgate Zone. The area will give kids the chance to meet players, shake their hands and potentially get autographs. Players will appear in the Cleary building on select dates. The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame also is a popular attraction for training camp attendees. Its extended training camp hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday (10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays without practice). Lambeau Field Stadium Tours feature expanded hours during camp. Schedules are available online and through the hotline by calling (920) 569-7513. Ticket sales begin at 8 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sundays (10 a.m. on Sundays without practice). The Legendary Lambeau Experience, a two-hour walking tour, returns this summer. The tour features stops in the New South End, Lee Remmel Press Box and visitors’ locker room. Included in the tour is an admission pass to the Packers Hall of Fame, a snack on the tour and a Packers souvenir. The Packers Pro Shop also features extended training camp hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday (8 p.m. on weekdays with night practices); 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Special hours will be in place for Family Night and preseason games. Additionally, the Lambeau Field Atrium will be open to visitors and contains several dining options. A complimentary camp guide will be available daily at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel kiosk near the practice field. A complete guide to Packers training camp is available at packers.com/trainingcamp. For Packer fans who can’t wait for the official start of the season or can’t get tickets to a game, visiting training camp is an attractive option.

Hansen wins fourth senior golf tourney Dick Hansen bested a field of 45 golfers Sunday at the 10th annual State Farm Insurance Senior Men’s Golf Tournament at Eagle River Golf Course. The event was sponsored by State Farm agent Paul Belcher. Hansen was tied with Al Sabrowsky at the end of the regulation 18-hole event with a score of 76. Hansen then went on to win the event on the first playoff hole with a par five on hole No. 1. “He used a steady putter, solid approach iron play and outstanding course management to become the Senior Men’s Golf Champion at the Eagle River Golf Course for the fourth time,”

said Belcher. Championships results A Flight Low gross: First, Dick Hansen, 76; second, Al Sabrowsky, 76; third, Tom Dunphy, 80. Low net: Al Sabrowsky, 66.

Weather conditions more reminiscent of late October than late July were not conducive to racing Saturday at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes. With heavy rains the day before and more rain and cold temperatures in the forecast for Saturday night, track officials made an early decision to cancel the week’s program. “Steady heavy rains yesterday, and today’s continued rain, mean no racing tonight,” said track owner Patti Rutzen. Now the track’s attention turns to the fourth annual Jake Mullins Memorial Street Stock Special Saturday, Aug. 3. The race honors Jake Mullins, a WISSO TA/AMSOIL Street Stock driver and one of the brightest personalities in the pits, whose life was tragically cut short in a passenger car accident in August 2010. Part of what makes

“Jake’s Race” unique is that it is a race put on by the fans, for the fans. Fans and area businesses help determine the size of the purse by donating cash and prizes. As of July 27, the winner’s share for this year’s Jake Mullins Memorial is $300, with increased payout to the rest of the field. Those who have donated to the purse include Fannin Motorsports, Jeff and Jerri McDonald, Chris Statezny, Todd Sleaper, High Roller Motorsports and TNT Speedway. Contact TNT Speedway at (715) 546-2539 for information on how to donate. Contributors also may donate at the track Aug. 3 prior to the Street Stock feature. Last year, Argonne native Todd Brass held off Tigerton’s Gary Kasperek and Sugar Camp’s Ben Pitlik to win Jake’s Race. The win was highly emotional for Brass, who was friends with Mullins and had his own brush with death in a passenger car crash last May.

Founding Fathers golf tourney set in Phelps The Phelps Chamber of Commerce has scheduled the Founding Fathers four-person best ball golf tournament Sunday, Aug. 11. Tee times will begin at 11 a.m. at Big Sand Lake Club Golf Course in Phelps. Lunch

As the calendar turns to August, the regular season at TNT Speedway is in the home stretch. Only four nights remain until the track champions are crowned on season championship night Aug. 24. The two closest points battles are in the Midwest Modifieds and the TNT Stingers. In the Midwest Mods, Eagle River’s Bruce Belland is searching for his third track championship in the last four years. He currently sits six points ahead of fellow Eagle River driver Tad Schoonover. Gleason’s Brandon Langbecker is attempting to repeat as the champion in the TNT Stingers, but finds himself in a tight battle. Merrill’s Louis Malluege is three points ahead of Langbecker entering August and Merrill’s Zach Degner, on the strength of back-to-back feature wins, has worked himself back into title contention, just nine points out of first. Lac du Flambeau’s John Johnson Sr. has a 13-point lead over Rhinelander’s Tyler Lundberg in the TNT Pure Stocks. Tomahawk’s Derek Eberl is 19 points ahead of

defending track champion Jeff Mullins in the Street Stocks. Both leads are large, but not insurmountable if either Johnson or Eberl run into difficulty. Birnamwood’s Forrest Crandall has a commanding 92-point lead over Parrish’s Devin Wulf in the TNT Trucks. Crandall is seeking his first track championship at the speedway. All five of TNT Speedway’s weekly classes will run Aug. 3 as part of Jake Mullins Memorial night. Hot laps will start at 6:45 p.m., with racing at 7:15 p.m.

Triathlon event set in Minocqua Marshfield Clinic and Ministry Health Care will cosponsor a Minocqua triathlon event called See Me Tri at the edge of Clear Lake Saturday, Aug. 10, at 8 a.m. “One of the reasons that we support See Me Tri is that it raises funds for many worthy organizations in our community,” said Rick Clark, Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Center administrator. “To date, they have donated over $15,000 to benefactors that include the Minocqua Rotary, Lakeland Union High School cross-country running team, the Arbor Vitae-Woodruff School Parent Group, and other area school and church groups.” They also have a vested interest in promoting healthy lifestyles, according ot Ministry Howard Young Health Care President Sheila Clough. “This type of event encourages our community and visitors to engage in healthy activities,” she said. The swim, bike and run courses will challenge athletes among the woods and waters of the scenic North Woods. The triathlon will offer both sprint and olympic distances for teams or individuals.

“This is our fourth annual running of the triathlon,” said Andrew Teichmiller of the Chequamegon Adventure Company, one of the race founders. “Every year we have seen large growth in participation. We’re hoping to see nearly 350 athletes at this year’s race.” Minocqua Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kim Baltus said there is an even bigger benefit: the economic impact on the community. “Especially for retailers, restaurants and hospitality,” she said. “Seventy-five percent of the triathletes come from well over one hour away. You also can factor in their family and friends who will be consuming lodging, meals, gas, shopping and tourist spending. This is a great event for the whole community.” All three legs of the race can be viewed within walking distance of the swim start, and there will be a post-race gathering, according to Teichmiller.

Our View Cancer survivors deserve the community’s support The 14th annual Northwoods Relay For Life is scheduled this Friday and Saturday, Aug. 2-3, with a goal of raising $73,000 for the American Cancer Society and its research and education programs. Raising that kind of money in the fight against cancer is extremely significant, but we would argue that the Relay For Life event services an even greater purpose. This year we are asking more people to attend the event not for the reason of raising additional funds, but to show community support for the honorary caregiver, the honorary survivor and the hundreds of cancer survivors who will take a victory lap around the track Friday evening.

Can we reverse the slide? LAST WEEK, Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid sullenly said that when he went to Washington 30 years ago the approval rating of Congress was at 45%. Today, according to the Gallup polling organization, the rating is a dismal 10%, the lowest it has ever been. We should all be concerned about this. The current state of political paralysis is being called a “crisis of confidence” in this great country. Many are warning that, if we don’t act, our political dysfunction could become permanent. Reversing this destructive trend is a key to future American progress. Without a change, America will continue losing respect around the world and will suffer further defeats in international competitiveness. We need a sense of shared purpose. If we really want to stop this slide from grace, get America back on track and restore our greatness, all Americans must come together for the greater good, and be willing to compromise on the steps that need to be taken. It will require tough concessions: a give and take. Some may argue that a booming economy is all we need to take our minds off the long-term problems. It could be argued that 70% of the population doesn’t care about the problems. The majority of people simply

People Make the Difference By Byron McNutt want a home to live in, a safe neighborhood, food in the pantry, gasoline for the car, a loving family, a reliable job and access to health care. They don’t worry about anything else. At this time, every day in our state and federal governments is a battle. The two parties make every issue a war of ideologies. They create a logjam, a gridlock so nothing can be accomplished. They set deadlines and then battle to the very end. Adding to the problem, every complicated issue seems to have at least 10 sides and there are 25 opinions on how to handle it. With the 24/7 news cycle, and hundreds of news outlets, everyone has a voice. We can’t settle on a consensus. Are we doomed to future mediocrity? Are we satisfied with our current government? Are we mad enough to demand better? How much worse must it get before we are fed up enough to demand change? We can’t give up hope. That just isn’t an option for Americans. America has

faced major crises and challenges in the past and has always found ways to overcome them. Those solutions did not come easy but leaders came forward to break the partisanship that got in the way of progress. Because we’ve risen to the occasion many times in the past, we have to trust we’ll come to our senses and do it again. The longer it takes, the harder it will be. Again, I’ll ask, just how bad will it need to get before sensible leaders step forward and find bipartisan solutions? How about now? Last week’s Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed just 17% of Americans say they have confidence in the federal government: it was 36% in 1990. While Congress has a 10% approval rating, the president did better at 36%, but that was down from 58% a decade ago. Don’t those poll figures tell us something? What we people are upset about? Those surveyed said the president and congress haven’t managed the economy responsibly, haven’t written a federal budget and are

first mallard, wood duck or hooded merganser of the year. When I turned 12 years old and became eligible to hunt for the first time I darn near suffocated from anxiety, anticipation and joy all mixed together as my dad and I pushed the canoe into the waters of Rice Lake when duck season was still a week away from opening but early Canada goose season was in full swing. Talk about a kid in a candy store, the moment we kicked our first ducks up from the wild rice we paddled through on our way to a cattail bog blind, I knew I was in the most wonderful place in the world. We had a large flock of honkers come over us late that afternoon, but they stayed just high enough to be out of range of loads of No. 2 lead pellets. I darned near wet my pants waiting for my dad to give the word to shoot, and I sure enough wanted to shoot, oh man did

Now for some good news, and it has nothing to do with the birth of the royal baby. According to a USA Today/Bipartisan Policy Center poll, “Americans by more than 2-1 say the best way to make positive changes in society is through volunteer organizations and charities, not by being active in government.” Even better news: People under 30 are especially put off by politics and are “significantly less likely than their parents to say participating in politics is an important value in their lives.” Why is this good news? There are at least two reasons. One is that the less faith people have in government, the more they are likely to have in themselves. The second is that a public loss of faith in politics and politicians increases the possibility of government becoming smaller. That could mean less spending, a smaller deficit and ultimately, one hopes, lower taxes. On the same day the USA Today poll was published, a McClatchy-Marist poll found President Obama “is suffering his lowest approval numbers in nearly two years.” His June approval rating was 41%, down from 50% in April. Obama’s endless speeches aren’t cutting it. The public wants the action it was promised. It’s not getting any and so is increasingly disillusioned with politics and politicians. Republicans don’t escape blame. The McClatchy-Marist poll found only 22% of those surveyed approve of congressional Republicans. Again, this is — or can be — good news for the country and even for Republicans if they get the message. USA Today quotes Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill.: “There’s a skepticism of government. Young people say, if I want to feed the hungry or make a difference for cancer patients, it’s easier to do that through a nonprofit and see the tangible results up close than, say, trying to

Family-oriented activities will start at 5 p.m. with bucket truck rides sponsored by the city of Eagle River, and Fire Safety House demonstrations sponsored by the Eagle River Area Fire Department. There will be a dunk tank sponsored by the Conover Lions and the Northland Pines girls soccer team. The Northwoods Relay For Life is more than a fund-raiser. It is a significant annual event in the lives of many who have faced cancer as a survivor or caregiver. It is one way a community can directly support those individuals who are most affected by this devastating disease.

The alterations address public sentiment in opposition to a strict 15% limit on impervious surfaces — which many viewed as unreasonable because most lakefront properties would immediately violate the standard. Instead, the DNR is now proposing to allow counties to set the impervious surface limit up to 30%, which is where Vilas County has been for years. It could be up to 40% for residences on highly developed shorelines and as high as 60% for commercial or industrial properties in those urbanized areas. What is important here is that the state stops delaying the implementation of the revised NR 115, which will strengthen the minimum standards that were set back in 1968 when much of today’s shoreline development wasn’t envisioned.

Just as cancer affects people of all ages, the Relay For Life is a family event where everyone can be involved. Besides walking for pledges and support of the cause, the all-night vigil includes a Locks of Love tent, a luminaria ceremony, a silent auction, live music and both food and refreshments.

They blame republicans for sabotaging democrats legislation, and are concerned when they learn of the extent of the NSA’s use of secret programs to collect personal data from phone records and the Internet. Virtually no one can agree on what’s fair. People are tired of fraud and wasteful spending and the degree people are “gaming the system.” We are divided by race, income, area of the country, age, sex and education. The health care issue has us torn apart.

The fire still burns fiercely THERE ARE THINGS in this world that are dead certainties, two of the most famously quoted being death and taxes. For guys like me you can add a third; a passion for ducks and duck hunting. I think for most duck hunters the planning, the dreaming and the waiting for next year’s season doesn’t really kick in until a few weeks before the actual opening day. For those of us with a passion for ducks that burns intensely 365 days a year, the last day of one season begins the anxious waiting period for the opening of another. I will freely admit that even in the coldest months of the dead of winter I am prone to dig out a Mack’s Prairie Wings or Cabela’s or Bass Pro Shop waterfowl hunting catalog and spend hours poring over the pages, fantasizing over what new gizmo(s) or gadget(s) I’m going to buy before the next season begins.

Prevent skin cancer when in the outdoors Letter to the Editor: You might consider yourself a healthy person if you exercise regularly, eat wellbalanced meals and don't use tobacco. But are you doing enough to protect your body’s largest organ — the one that’s most susceptible to cancer? Simply put, how are you protecting your skin? Skin cancer is the most common of all cancer types, with 2.2 million people treated for the disease each year in the United States. Many of those people have more than one skin cancer diagnosis. Although skin cancer risk factors are present yearround, the dangers are greater during the long days of summer when you may spend more time in the sun. So remember your sunscreen, hat and sunglasses when enjoying the outdoors. Since skin cancer is so prevalent, you likely know someone who has been affected. Maybe that someone is you. Whatever your personal

story and if you are participating in the Northwoods Relay For Life event this weekend in Eagle River, know that the donations you raised, in part, go toward educating people about skin cancer and teaching them how to protect themselves from excess exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Of course, with your help, we aren’t just fighting one type of cancer — we’re fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. Sixty years ago, one out of three people diagnosed with cancer were alive five years after their diagnosis. Today, thanks in part to your support and the work of the American Cancer Society, two out of three are alive five years later. Let’s make it three out of three.

OPINION/COMMENTARY Maines FROM PAGE 16A I want to shoot, but my dad stayed true to the axiom, “Don’t shoot until you can see their eyes,” and we watched them fly away. That might have discouraged some young gaffers wanting to kill their first goose, but for me it only fanned the flames higher. A week later we were back in the same blind, and that time I got to fire my first shots at live ducks dive bombing over our decoys. Truth be known, my dad killed all the ducks that day, but I still remember claiming one mallard as my own, even though I knew in my heart that my dad’s shot hit it a fraction of a second before I pulled the trigger. The best thing was, even though I was pretty sure I didn’t actually kill the duck — I still believe my shot hit

it too — my dad was good enough to give me full credit for my first duck. Later that season I did — without question — kill a duck, a few of them actually, and from that point on I was totally and hopelessly hooked on ducks. Those first two years of hunting, when I was in seventh and eighth grades, my dad and I hunted probably 50 of the 55 days the season was open each year. Back then there was no daylight savings time, so each morning we were at Rice Lake or some other place where my dad figured ducks would be flying, and we would hunt from roughly 5:30 to 7:30 a.m., getting off the lake in time for Dad to get me to school on time. Understand that there has never been a kid more loath to get out of bed on any morning at 4:30, much less practically every morning for two months, but

when it came to getting up for duck hunting you didn’t have to give me so much as a wake-up call. That’s the way it went. All through high school, thanks to football game scheduling each fall that had Eagle River High School playing a home game the night before season, I never missed a duck opener. For the past 20 years I’ve found my personal heaven on the North Dakota prairie where I’ve killed hundreds of ducks, eaten tons of them and reveled in driving around the prairie roads just looking at all the ponds and sloughs full of ducks and geese. Each year I host anywhere from six to 12 fellow Duckaholics at North Dakota duck camp, where we eat, sleep and dream about ducks. Mostly we shoot at a lot of them, kill some of them and, especially, eat our fair share of them.

Sometimes it takes me until the week before we leave to get some of the guys to commit, but for me the commitment was made that first time I ever sat in a duck blind. Some duck hunters might think twice about making the long trip to duck camp if gas prices are high or duck numbers are low, but for me it wouldn’t matter if gas was $20 a gallon and there were only 10 ducks on the whole North Dakota prairie, I would go. That’s the way it is when you have a passion for ducks and geese. That’s the way it will be in another 57 days when I point my truck west for nine days in duck heaven. Until then I guess I’ll just have to keep the fires burning with several dozen scouting, blind building and duck watching trips to my favorite duck haunts around here as I wait for the magic of opening day to arrive.

Congress must act quickly to restore Voting Rights Act Letter to the Editor: As the summer heat began to build in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Supreme Court issued a much-anticipated decision which gutted key components of the monumental Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965. The decision in the case of Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder erased fundamental protections against racial discrimination in voting that have been effective for more than 40 years and opened the floodgates for a wave of attacks on voters. Only strong action from Congress can fix the court’s mistake. Before the ink was even

dry on the decision, several states rushed to implement racially discriminatory antivoter laws, including several states where the League of Women Voters had previously succeeded in blocking voter restrictions in the courts and state legislatures. Sadly, this is only the beginning. Without a strong VRA, our ability to fight off anti-voter legislation and keep our elections free, fair and accessible is significantly weakened. As we approach the 48th anniversary of this historic civil rights legislation, the VRA remains an essential To VOTING, Pg. 18A

This slate of five or six teams could still go through the primaries, like an elimination round. The top two teams would advance to the General Election in November. With our luck, the election would still end with a 50.4% to 49.6% popular vote. I wonder if the Founding Fathers ever thought the separation of powers between the president, Congress and the Judiciary would ever be this deadlocked and contentious? If they did, they probably felt common sense and duty would eventually prevail.

In Wisconsin, Korean War not forgotten (Editor’s note: Saturday, July 27, marked the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.) Letter to the Editor: The signing of the armistice between the United States, China and North Korea on July 27, 1953, ended what many have called “America’s Forgotten War.” The place in history afforded the Korean conflict, which raged from 1950 to 1953, is unfortunately almost a distant third to World War II and Vietnam. For a couple of reasons, Korean has been the “forgotten war.” Global war and stories of heroism and sacrifice of the Second World War, just years before Korea, as well as the social upheaval and politics associated with Vietnam, often make the Korean War

less important to the history books. It is not, however, less important to history — and certainly not less important to the soldiers who slogged through the mud and snow fighting the North Koreans and Chinese communists in numerous battles. The Korean War was a bloody threeyear battle that claimed the lives of more than 33,600 Americans, more than 700 of whom were from Wisconsin. Wisconsin soldiers contributed notably in Korea, just as they did before and after in many other conflicts. Today, the home of the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea is Camp Red Cloud, named after Wisconsin native and Medal of Honor recipient Mitchell Red Cloud of the Ho-Chunk Nation. Red Cloud’s heroics in battle in the Korean War saved the lives of those in his company, at the cost of his own life, and earned him the military’s highest honor for bravery. The armistice, which was signed 60 years ago on July 27 as a temporary agreement, is still the only truce that exists preventing the war from resuming. All sides have yet to sign a peace treaty making the Korean War Armistice one of the

Its goal is not to addict people to a government check, but to free them from dependency so they can have the dignity that goes with earning their own check. It is an anti-poverty program that works.

If Republicans want to regain trust, they should be focusing less on the failures of Democrats and more on the successes of Republican governors, Republican legislatures, charitable organizations like My Safe Harbor and volunteers. They are achieving goals Washington can’t. Instead, Washington continues to misspend too much money with little to show for it, except everincreasing debt.

Reflections By Mary Friedel-Hunt

Nothing is forever I wait for them each year. I wait for the fern and hosta and clematis, the lilies, hibiscus and more to peek through the soil in the spring, to grow tall and finally to blossom forth in beauty that takes away my breath. Each one blooms in turn, none of the blossoms lasting a long time. The purple clematis flowers are deep and rich in color and abundant as they climb the trellis and fill my yard with their beauty. The hibiscus are incredible. Large red plates of blossom — I love to see them come, and dread the day when they have finished their brief gift to me and passersby. The fern uncurls in the shade in front of my house and is prolific sending out shoots which in turn send up other plants. On and on it goes. For a while this spring I did not think the hydrangea would even grow, but now they are 6 feet high and filled with white flowers. The lilies reflect the sun with their deep yellows. I planted them just three years ago and they have quadrupled in size — at least. I am not a gardener. I do the minimum to maintain this annual procession of loveliness. I pull some weeds, water them if it is dry and hope they continue to grace my yard. This year some teens who belong to a service group came and helped me move some hosta out of the sun and weed the beds. Nothing is forever except us, and the greater part of our existence does not happen here on this Earth in these bodies. These flowers will someday disappear, as will the incredible maple tree in my yard. Even my To REFLECTIONS, Pg. 3B

Trees to host Forest Fest Trees For Tomorrow recently announced it will host its third annual Forest Fest Saturday, Aug. 3, at the Trees campus. The day’s festivities will begin with the new Lumberjack Breakfast from 8-10 a.m. The menu will include items of the late 1800s such as pancakes (stove lids), syrup (blackstrap), potatoes (Murphys), sausage (pork bellies), coffee (dishwater) and more. The cost of the breakfast is $7 per person and $3 for children age 6 and under. The meal will be served in the dining hall, where visitors may view a photo display about life in a logging camp. The event also feature a tree harvest simulator, a presentation on the Federal Duck Stamp program and a fishing pond for children. “We’ll have many of the favorite activities and displays from the 2011 and 2012 Forest Fests,” said Maggie Bishop, executive director of Trees For Tomorrow. “Forest Fest is a free fun family event that celebrates all that the forest gives us, from wildlife to wood products to water resources to recreational activities. There’s something for everyone, regardless of age or interests.” A live Birds of Prey program with naturalist Troy Walters will be held at 9 a.m. at the education hall. Other programs will continue for the remainder of the festival. Exhibitors, artisans and vendors will be at their booths from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Several events at Forest Fest will honor the 80th anniversary of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), a Federal Works Program created by President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression. According to Trees, during the CCC’s nine-year run, 92,000 young men worked in Wisconsin camps, planted 265 million trees, built bridges and buildings, erected telephone poles, constructed truck trails, stocked half a billion fish, fought forest fires and built several state parks.

“Our forests would not be what they are today without the work of these men,” said Bishop. “Unfortunately, as members of their generation pass on, fewer and fewer people are aware of their accomplishments. They deserve to be recognized.” Bill Jamerson, an Upper Peninsula songwriter, will perform “Dollar-A-Day Boys,” a musical narrative about the CCC, and Wisconsin author Mary Schueller will lead a small cast in performing her play, “Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake.” “We’re also inviting CCC alumni to sign a bench that will be dedicated in honor of the 80th anniversary,” Bishop said. “Family members of CCC veterans who have passed also will be invited to write the names of those who served. “It’s a wonderful way to honor fathers, brothers, uncles and others who did so much for our state and our country.” Other Forest Fest displays, exhibits and hands-on activities include logging wheels, wood turners and carvers, papermaking, a portable

sawmill, hunting, fishing, trapping, wild rice, forest management, wilderness camping, chainsaw carving and horse-drawn wagon rides. Food and entertainment also will be available. Trees For Tomorrow is located at 519 Sheridan St. E., in Eagle River. For more information, call (715) 479-6456, or visit treesfortomorrow.com.

The event — which is slated to start at 5:30 p.m. with a social hour and silent auction — is the single biggest fundraiser for the Children’s Museum. “At the request of our guests, the auction was moved to Monday evening,” said Executive Director Rouleen Gartner. “Typically, it was held on the first Tuesday of the month. We will still have fabulous food, raffles and auction items that past attendees have enjoyed.” A light dinner buffet, including desserts and coffee, will be served beginning at 6 p.m. and will be available throughout the silent auction.

Reflections: house, as solid as it is being built of stone, will no longer stand some day. Nor will I. It is hard to imagine any of this especially in a world where we seldom address how temporary everything is. We do not like to discuss end-of-life issues or the fact that all of us, every single one of us, will die someday. It is the elephant in the room. No one wants to discuss it even though it lies ahead for each of us. I lost two trees last summer and this week I replaced them, as much as one can replace anything. I now have a King Crimson Maple, Bill’s favorite maple tree, and a white pine in my back yard. I chose the pine because it grows so fast. I

FROM PAGE 1B looked out at those sentinels this morning, and wanted to welcome them to our home. So I did. I went out, watered them and spoke to each one. Yes, I talk to trees and dogs and even the flowers, thanking them for the gifts they give to me freely asking not much in return — some water or dog food or plant food, and sun. What a gift is nature, and though it all dies, it is also reborn season after season after season. Aren’t we blessed?

After completion, the reader will receive a prize, and the opportunity to receive a visit from a state trooper at their school or library.

The library’s Summer Library Program runs through the end of August. Participants through age 18 may visit the library for reading and book logs, and to sign up for weekly programs.

The 14th annual Joe Bucher’s Blues Fest was held July 27, at the St. Germain Community Center pavilion. Record cold July temperatures coupled with rain and wind did not make for ideal conditions but Bucher was surprised by the successful attendance. “I have to admit, I was very worried”, says Bucher. “We’ve had a wide variety of weather situations to deal with over the years, but nothing quite like this. What a relief it was to see cars piling into the St. Germain Community Center parking lot at 3 pm. I’m stunned by the turn out!” The Blues Fest is a nonprofit fund raiser that benefits The Northland Pines Youth Football & Cheerleading Organization. “I guess we found out that bad weather doesn’t deter folks from enjoying good music and great barbecue,” says event coordinator Amy Young. “We had a packed crowd under the pavilion by 5 p.m.,” she added. The festival takes place

annually on the last Saturday in July. “I’m big on local charities, especially those involving our kids. Our festival is totally dedicated to them, and it is run by parents, teachers, and coaches. All of the folks at this event are volunteering their time for our kids. I love it,” said Bucher. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night was a donation from this year’s headliner The Eliminator Band. About an hour into their performance, lead guitarist Bobby Z invited Bucher on stage to perform with them, but then presented Bucher with a donation check from the band before they resumed playing. “I was blown away by their generosity. What a class act,” said Bucher. “On top of that, they tore it up with their signature ZZ Top sound. “Between all the volunteer help, the bands, and the crowd, we had a superb night in spite of the weather. My hat goes off to everyone involved,” added Bucher.

Library hosts authors Four authors discussed their books and gave autographs at the Plum Lake Library July 24 for Author Day. Returning authors were Tom Stecker of St. Germain discussing his first book, “The Pincherry Group”; Leon “Buckshot” Anderson of St. Germain with his latest book, “Wolves At The Cabin Door”; Jeffrey Vollmer of Minocqua presented “Faded Gray,” his first book; Ellyn M. Baker of Green Bay presented her book, “The Cause: Love & War.” Vollmer drew on experiences and knowledge of Eastern Europe, Estonia in particular, for his latest work. He served with the Peace Corps in Estonia and returned to live there for an additional nine years. His work is a depiction of life in the post-cold war era and focuses on observations of the lawlessness created by the breakup of the Soviet Union. There are three novels planned for the story of Grayson Palmer, Vollmer’s protagonist. “Palmer,” said Vollmer, “is a play on the Russian word for pilgrim.” For Baker’s book, The

Cause: Love & War, about a woman in Gettysburg, Pa., during the Civil War, she studied journals, letters and other historical material. The main character, Emilie Prescott, interacts with historical figures and struggles to understand the conflict between north and south, as well as care for those injured in the conflict. Baker’s first editor, Ruth Johnson of Lac du Flambeau, commented, “Ellyn has captured what the war was about for the people at home, and has woven the personalities of her three children into

characters in the book.” The Cause: Love & War will be released Sept. 10. “A second book is in progress and we are planning a third,”said Johnson. For more information on Baker, visit ellynmbaker. tateauthor.com. Local authors interested in sharing their work with guests of Plum Lake Library should contact librarian Ida Nemec at (715) 542-2020. Mark Moran will present Antiques Road Show at the library Aug. 1, from 1:30-4:30 p.m. For more information, visit sayner.wislib.org.

Winners of Geocache event announced The inaugural Phound it in Phelps Geocache event recently was held at Wavering Park. Roland Alger and Arlyne Becker coordinated the event. Phound it in Phelps had 15 registrants — individual or team — with 34 total participants. 15 caches were hidden throughout Phelps. Participants used their global positioning system (GPS) to locate the caches. At a designated time, participants had to return with their finds.

Meals are served Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at noon. Suggested donation is $4. Reservations 24 hours in advance to Sandy Mutter at (715) 545-2452 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

MONDAY, AUG. 5 Liver & onions Baked potato Corn Rye roll Peaches Chocolate chip

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 7 Stuffed pepper Mashed potatoes Whole-wheat roll Cantaloupe Lime-flavored gelatin

FRIDAY, AUG. 9 Grilled turkey & Swiss on sour dough w/lettuce & tomato Vegetable soup Mandarin oranges Cupcake

For each cache located, a playing card was awarded. Each participant picked out five cards to make the best poker hand resulting in first, second and third places. The three winners received a stadium blanket, a hiking stick and Phelps bucks. “This was geared toward families and we were rewarded with mostly families,” said Alger. “Feedback from the cachers was very positive and they are looking forward to next year.”

A raffle with many prizes from local businesses and organizations including First National Bank, Conserve School, Dru Claar Service, Volkmann Eagle Farm, Christy Riihimaki, Ministry Health, Oneida Nation, Phelps Chamber of Commerce, Phelps Convenience Center, Phelps Lions Club, Prestige Gardens, St. Mary’s Catholic Church, and Jackl’s Whataview Farm was offered to all in attendance. Geocaching is a world-

wide recreational activity enjoyed by GPS users. It involves a GPS user hiding a cache — usually a waterproof container of trinkets — and posting the exact coordinates so other GPS users can embark on a scavenger hunt to find it. Becker, a Phelps High School graduate, found her first cache in June of 2012 and has found 325 caches. She has hidden 17 permanent caches to date. For information visit geocaching.com.

Picnic in Park to raise funds for Phelps EMS Northwoods Living Care Foundation will sponsor the annual Picnic in the Park Friday, Aug. 9, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at Wavering Park in Phelps. The event is a fundraiser for the Phelps ambulance fund. “One of the major reasons our annual Picnic in the Park fundraiser has been so successful the past 15 years is because we have made it a social event for the entire family,” said Cathy Grady, president of Northwoods Living Care Foundation. “We are proud of the great chicken and ribs barbecue we offer, but we also work hard to make an enjoyable evening for the children as well as the adults,” she said. “The picnic would not be complete without the Trackless Train,

bungee jumper and cannonball air blaster. Volunteers will also be painting faces.” A health fair by NorthStar health system in Iron River, Mich., also will be featured. “In past years, the health fair has proven to be popular with the people,” said Phelps Emergency Medical Services Supervisor Carole Selin. “With a group of 650 to more than 700 people turning out to attend the barbecue, it is a wonderful opportunity to reach so many people about issues of health care.” Clinic staffers will be on hand to perform screenings for blood pressure, pulse, glu-

cose and bone density, as well as to discuss women’s health and various other health issues. The Great Headwaters Trail System Foundation also will have an information booth set up answering questions on bike-pedestrian trails in eastern Vilas County. Tickets to the event cost $15 for adults and $6 for children 10 and younger. Tickets will cost $17 for adults and $7 for youths the night of the event. Tickets are available at Phelps businesses or by calling Grady at (715) 5452879.

PUBLIC NOTICE _____________ (One Week, 7/31/13) SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PHELPS NOTICE OF CHILD FIND ACTIVITY The School District of Phelps has a duty to locate, identify, and evaluate all resident children with disabilities regardless of the severity of their disability. Therefore, the school district has a special education screening program to locate and screen all children with suspected disabilities who are residents of the district and who have not graduated from high school. The school district locates and screens children in the following groups: children below school-entry age; children entering school for the first time; children currently enrolled in public and private schools; all transfer pupils; school-age children who are eligible to attend school but who are not attending school and who are residents of the district. Upon request the school district will screen any child to determine whether a special education referral is appropriate. Such a request may be made by contacting the Director of Special Education, School District of Phelps, at 715/545-2724, or by writing to 4451 Old School Road, Phelps, WI 54554. Annually the district conducts developmental screening of preschool children. Each child’s motor, communication, and social skills are observed as the child plays at various play areas. Each child is weighed and measured, and the child’s hearing and vision is checked. The information gathered is used to provide the parent with a profile of their child’s current development and to provide suggestions for follow-up activities. Parents learn about community services available to them and speak with representatives of agencies serving families. When there is reasonable cause to believe a child has a disability, the child is referred for evaluation by a school district IEP Team. Developmental screening will be part of the kindergarten screening this spring. Watch for the dates or your local school. A parent or physician, nurse, teacher at a state or county residential facility, psychologist, social worker or administrator of a social agency who has reasonable cause to believe that a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to report the child to the school district in which the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child’s parent that the referral will be made. The referral must be in writing and must include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. When the district receives the referral, after obtaining the parent’s consent, it will appoint an IEP Team to evaluate the child for eligibility for special education. A referral for an IEP Team evaluation of a child residing in the Phelps School District may be sent to the school district address indicated above. Many educational opportunities are available in the community for children with disabilities. The school district provides special education and related services for children ages three to 21 with cognitive disabilities, orthopedic impairments, other health impairments, autism, traumatic brain injuries, visual handicaps, hearing handicaps, speech and language handicaps, learning disabilities, and emo-

tional disturbances. The County Board provides special education and related services for children with disabilities ages birth to three. The school district offers special education and related services for children ages three through five with significant developmental delays. The Head Start Program provides educational opportunities for qualifying four- and five- yearold children. The school district maintains pupil records containing personally identifiable information gathered during screening for each child referred for IEP Team evaluation. The school district maintains pupil records in the interest of students to assist in providing appropriate educational experiences. All records directly related to a student and maintained by the school district are pupil records. With limited exception these records are confidential. Pupil records include records maintained in any way including, but not limited to, computer storage media, video and audio tape, film, microfilm, and microfiche. Records maintained for personal use by a teacher and not available to others and records available only to persons involved in the psychological treatment of a child are not pupil records. Section PI 11.37(2)(e), Wis. Admin. Code requires school districts to maintain, as part of the pupil records of a child with a disability, parental consents for IEP Team evaluation; parental consents for placement in special education; any data used by IEP Teams to reach decisions, such as evaluation reports; the reports developed by the IEP Team, individualized education programs (IEP); placement offers; medical prescriptions required to substantiate any health treatment services provided by the district; medical evaluations, if used to substantiate any health treatment services provided by the district; medical evaluations, if used to substantiate determination of a disability; and any other records required under subchapter V of chapter 115, Wis. Stats. The school district maintains several classes of records. “Progress records” include records of grades, the courses the child has taken, the child’s attendance record, immunization records, and records of extra-curricular activities. Progress records must be maintained for at least five years after the child ceases to be enrolled. “Behavioral records” include such records as psychological tests, personality evaluations, records of conversations, any written statement relating specifically to the pupil’s behavior, tests relating specifically to achievement or measurement of ability, physical health records, and other pupil records that are not “progress records”. Behavioral records may be maintained for no longer than one year after the child graduates or otherwise ceases to be enrolled, unless the parent specifies in writing that the records be maintained for a longer period of time. The family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) certain rights with respect to the student’s education records. They are: • The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the school district receives a request for access. Parents or eligible stu-

dents should submit to the school district administrator a written request that identifies the records(s) they wish to inspect. The administrator will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. • The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask Phelps School District to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the district decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the district will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing. • The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosures to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the district discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Also the district discloses “directory data” without consent. Directory data means those education records which include the student’s name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, photographs, degrees and awards received, and the name of the school most recently previously attended by the student. • The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the District to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20202-4605. 5231
