Vilas files civil action over rental Zoning officials say home can’t be rented by week ___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

Vilas County has filed a civil action against a Marshfield couple for offering weekly rentals of a residence on Rosalind Lake in the town of Presque Isle that is in a residential zoning district. According to court documents, Vilas County Corporation Counsel Martha Milanowski filed the case Aug. 13 against Harlan and Brenda Accola. Under Vilas County zoning, R-1 residential districts do not allow transient lodging where units are rented for less than one month. The file contains a number of letters from lake property owners who had conversations with parties who rented the lake house and stated it was weekly. Those

letters were signed by June and Paul Lewandoski, and another signed by Mary Jo Knapp. Vilas County Deputy Zoning Administrator Jim Janet sent a certified letter to the Accolas June 18 requesting them to cease renting their house in a single-family district for less than 30 days. A response received July 30 stated the people staying at the cottage were clients and employees of the Accolas. Janet sent another letter to the Accolas Aug. 2, saying a website advertises the property as a vacation rental. A response Aug. 4 from the Accolas stated that the website is for those who rent the To RENTAL, Pg. 2A

The Eagle River Chain of Lakes Association (ERCLA) has begun its next big venture — a comprehensive lake management planning project for the entire lower Eagle River Chain of Lakes. The plan is phased, spanning four years from 2013 through 2017, and kicked off this summer on Cranberry and Catfish lakes. The project will include studies looking at the Chain lakes as an ecosystem and not just focus on its plant community, according to association secretary Carole

Wheel-A-Way tour set in Three Lakes The Three Lakes Chamber of Commerce and Welcome Center will hold its 22nd annual Nicolet WheelA-Way family bicycle ride this Saturday, Aug. 31. Registration for the 18- or 36-mile bike tour through the scenic Nicolet Forest will take place between 8 and 9 a.m. at Don Burnside Park off Highway A in Three Lakes. Riders will receive a complete lunch with refreshments at rest stops along the route. Registered riders also

will receive a T-shirt and a chance to win door prizes. “This is not a race, but a casual ride for individuals of all ages,” said event organizer Tom Rulseh. “The two routes will be identified with road markings and directional warning signs. The ride is on public roads, therefore, riders must obey all traffic laws.” Organizers require each rider to use an ANSIapproved helmet, and chilTo BIKE TOUR, Pg. 3A

Rental: home on a monthly basis. Concerning alleged fees charged for renting the home, the Accolas stated there were no rental fees but they would accept donations to their foundation. The county learned they do not have a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization. On Aug. 16, Janet sent a letter to the Accolas stating that soliciting donations on a weekly basis in exchange for housing is the functional

According to Milanowski, this is the first case of its kind under a civil action in an effort to stop weekly rentals of a home or cottage in a residential district. She indicated there was a similar case in 2004 that went to court, but it was an appeal from a Board of Adjustment ruling where the court simply told the party to stop weekly rentals.

This graphic shows the phases of the four-year lake management project for the Eagle River Chain of Lakes, starting with Cranber-

ry and Catfish lakes. The lake management plan is needed to receive state funding for Eurasian water milfoil control.

Lake plan: volunteers vital to project FROM PAGE 1A Otter lakes are included and finally, during phase four, Yellow Birch, Watersmeet, and the connecting Eagle River waters will round out the completion of the 10-lake Eagle River Chain. The project was introduced to the public at the association’s annual meeting earlier this summer. To complete this type of management plan, Linn said the study components of the projects include lake water quality analysis, watershed assessment, further studies of native and exotic aquatic plants, shoreland assessment, fisheries data, and a stakeholder survey. “The project includes a stakeholder participation component to assure the plans represent not only the needs of the lakes and chain, but also folks that use and care for them,” said Linn. A written survey will be provided to each Chain house-

hold to collect information on how the riparians use the lake, what changes they have seen in the Chain and how they would like to see the system managed. During each phase, a planning meeting will be held with representatives from the respective lakes to discuss the results of that lake’s studies and bring forth management issues the residents would like to include within the lake’s management plan. “By combining the technical aspects of the lake studies with the sociological information collected through the stakeholder participation component, specific plans will be constructed for each lake as well as the chain as a whole,” said Linn. Volunteers from each lake will form the planning committees which will examine study results, conclusions and recommendations. They will establish management goals and actions including a timeframe. A project facilitator will

be appointed from each management team. Cranberry Lake stakeholders have already established their management team consisting of 15 riparians and several board members. This phased project will be funded through multiple grant applications which began in February 2013 and extend through 2016. Specifically, the Eagle River Chain of Lakes Association, with assistance from Onterra LLC, will apply for Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Education, Planning and Prevention Grants that will cover 75% of the project costs. Phase one grant funding has been obtained. The 25% local share will be covered through cash and inkind volunteer hours provided by the individual lake associations and ERCLA. Earlier projects In 2006, as part of a large project initiated by the town of

Washington, management plans for each of the Eagle River Chain of Lakes were created. These plans, which only focused on the plants, were sufficient at that time to qualify the Eagle River Chain to receive AIS control grants from Wisconsin. The Unified Lower Eagle River Chain of Lakes Commission teamed with Onterra in 2007 to begin monitoring Eurasian water milfoil on the Chain and successfully applied for the group’s first grant. Over the next five years, the commission implemented a control project that reduced colonized Eurasian water milfoil from nearly 280 acres to less than 90 acres. “The success of the control project began with the creation of a plan, and now after five years, it is time to update the management plan,” said Linn, noting a lake management plan is required by the DNR to be eligible to receive state grant funding.

the committee tabled the subject. Driveway fees While the wheel tax was put on the back burner, creating a fee for driveway permits along county highways was approved. Highway Commissioner Jarred Maney explained the county does not charge any fee for inspecting new driveways along county highways. “A person (employee) has to physically inspect the site of a proposed driveway to see if a culvert is required,” Maney explained. Mayer said if a site is inspected, it takes time and fuel and it would be a one time permit so the county should have a fee. He said many towns charge for driveway permits. “I move to create a $100 fee for driveways,” Mayer said. During the discussion, Maney noted driveways for loggers are temporary and are removed after the logging operation is completed. The committee approved establishing the $100 driveway permit and if it’s a temporary permit, such as for a logging operation, $50 would be refunded after the driveway is taken out. Maney also said the county does not have any overweight fees, specifically for garbage trucks and milk deliveries to schools. Mayer suggested a $50 fee for overweight permits. Wording for the permits will be drafted for review by the county corporation counsel and then referred to the Legislative & Judicial Committee for a resolution to county board. Other business In other business, the committee approved a letter to Trig’s in Manitowish Waters giving the business 30 days to remove material they placed in the Highway W right of way or face a daily fine. The committee also directed Hilger to explore a county bike license fee.

“It will only hook local people.” That statement by Vilas County Highway Committee Chairman Charles Rayala Jr., spelled the defeat of a wheel tax on vehicles registered as being kept in Vilas County. Wisconsin statutes allow municipalities to enact a wheel tax, but so far only one county and four municipalities have done so. St. Croix County has a $10 wheel tax as does the cities of Mayville, Janesville and Beloit. Milwaukee has a $20 wheel tax. St. Croix County has 70,000 registered vehicles and therefore raises about $700,000 a year. County Finance Manager Jason Hilger said he was asked to explore different revenue sources and the wheel tax was one available to Vilas County. “This is a fee on everyone who registers a car in Vilas County,” Hilger told the committee. “The Department of Transportation (DOT) says there are just over 21,000 (vehicles) registered in Vilas County, so a wheel tax of $10 would raise $210,000 every year and it would be earmarked specifically to the Highway Department.” The tax would be added to a person’s registration renewal and the DOT would send the county a check each month, minus a 10% administrative fee. “The feedback I got wasn’t positive,” said Highway Committee member and Finance Committee Chairman Chris Mayer. “It will only hook local people,” responded Rayala. “This is a bad way to raise money. It would be better to raise the gas tax.” But Mayer predicted the committee would have another debate on enacting a wheel tax sometime in the future. “We set our standards high for Vilas County roads and it’s tough to keep those standards,” said Mayer. “Before we go and bond for roads, we’ll have this discussion again.” Following the discussion,

Jim Brewer. The school will implement one-to-one technology this year, giving each student a Google Chromebook. “Every student at the high school will have a Chromebook to utilize not only in the classroom, but also outside the classroom and at home,” said Brewer. “It’s a great equalizer in many ways,” he said. “Some families can’t necessarily afford to provide a Google Chromebook for their kids at a reasonable cost. Here, they’re going to be able to do that, which is huge. It’s dramatically going to change how we teach and how kids learn.” The school also will move to a modified block schedule this year, marking the first major schedule change in more than a decade. “We’re moving into a modified block schedule, which is a combination of an eightperiod day and a block schedule,” said Brewer. “We’re melding the two together.” Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays will feature eightperiod days, while block scheduling will be featured Tuesdays and Wednesdays. “We think this new schedule could have a dramatic and positive impact on student learning and student improvement,” said Brewer. Finally, the school plans to unveil its Pines Pride program, which will emphasize Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS). “The program is designed to unify all the students and staff and will provide expectations for behavior, teaching students to be respectful, be responsible and be safe,” said Brewer. New staff members have already reported and in-service for teachers has begun. Middle school and elementary students, as well as freshmen and new students, will begin classes Tuesday, Sept. 3.

Our younger students have a big buddy.” In the afternoon, teachers will work on some of the projects for the curriculum, according to Hill. “We’re really excited,” she said. “It’s usually a really fun and interesting first day.” The administrator added that the school is continually working to expand its one-toone technology program, and will add the Discovery Science e-textbook this year. “The textbook is just huge internationally,” said Hill. We’re trying to advance it each year, and next year we hope to get social studies. “We keep making progress with our one-to-one computing,” she said. “That is such an important process for our students to learn and prepare for the workforce and college.” Parochial school Christ Lutheran School will open its doors to students Wednesday, Aug. 28, and bussing for students will begin Tuesday, Sept. 3. School will begin with an opening service to be held at 8:15 a.m. at Christ Lutheran Church in Eagle River.

POLICE REPORT

Former school custodian charged ___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

A preliminary hearing was set for Monday, Sept. 30, for Richard Buell, 61, a former Phelps School custodian, who has been charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, each count a Class D felony carrying a maximum prison term of 25 years. At an adjourned initial appearance last Friday before Vilas County Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III, defense Attorney Ralph Koopman requested Buell’s $10,000 cash bond be reduced to a signature bond since the purpose of bond is to ensure a defendant to appear. “Mr. Buell was aware of the facts three or four months ago and could have fled, but didn’t,” Koopman told the court. “He’s a lifelong resident of Phelps with no priors and I’m asking for a signature bond. There is no reason for a cash bond and he will appear and answer the charges when required to do so by law.” Assistant District Attorney David Breedlove opposed that request. “The charges are multiple and the evidence we have is strong,” said Breedlove. “This is not a probationary case since the charges carry a mandatory sentence of three years initial confinement. It’s a prison case and he is now aware there is mandatory prison time as these (offenses) occurred in terms of his employment as a custodian at the school.”

Richard Buell, 61, of Phelps, appeared in Vilas County Circuit Court with his attorney, Ralph Koopman, last Friday. Buell faces 10

Judge Nielsen was receptive to a lower bond. “Frankly, Mr. Koopman’s logic is correct, bond is to ensure appearance in court,” said Nielsen. “Yes, there is a flight risk in the charges, but nothing else has been brought to the court’s attention that he would continue this activity. He has no computer at home and it was Mr. Buell who brought this to the school’s attention.” Under questioning, it was determined Buell resides alone and has a cell phone but it does not have Internet access capabilities. Judge Nielsen then modified bond to $1,000 cash with a number of conditions, including no unsupervised contact with children under age 18, no computer or Internet access, and no application for a passport. A preliminary hearing was initially to be Sept. 9

before Reserve Judge James Mohr, but Koopman wanted to continue the case with Judge Nielsen. The hearing will be Sept. 30 at 3:30 p.m. at the courthouse in Eagle River. Over 78 images According to the complaint, Det. Sgt. David Dobbs of the Vilas County Sheriff’s Department responded to the Phelps K-12 School Feb. 6 after school Administrator Delnice Hill was made aware of a breach of the school computer firewall. In meeting with Hill, Dobbs was told school custodian Buell came to the office indicating his school-issued computer had locked up and admitted he was viewing pornography on the computer. Suspicions were raised when computer files revealed current and former

Phelps High School girls in bikinis, according to the complaint. Upon completion of the interview, Hill said Buell was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. The computer was then examined by the Wisconsin Department of Justice forensic analyst Florian Berger, who accessed multiple files of young children as young as age five to nine in a variety of explicit acts. A total of at least 78 images of alleged child pornography were found between November 2012 and February 2013. Each of the 10 counts identifies an image number and a brief description of each image. After a three-business day leave, Buell’s employment with the Phelps School District was terminated effective Feb. 11, 2013, according to Hill.

Vilas County Court report

Tittl introduces bill Arbor Vitae man, woman charged to raise speed limit

in power of attorney duties case An Arbor Vitae man and woman were charged with theft in a business setting in Vilas County Circuit Court last week for allegedly writing checks of another person for personal use after being named power of attorney for the elderly man. Joseph G. Chosa, 68, and Annetta L. Koshka, 71, both of Arbor Vitae were bound over for arraignment. She allegedly assisted Chosa with his power of attorney duties. According to the complaint, Chosa was named the power of attorney for an elderly man who was placed in a nursing home and allegedly wrote checks for personal use totaling $7,540. Chosa and Koshka, his girlfriend, were friends of the man who lived at Hiawatha Estates, a trailer park in Arbor Vitae. Vilas Circuit Court Judge Neal A. Nielsen III released Chosa and Koshka on $2,500 signature bonds with the conditions that they have no control over anyone else’s finances. They waived their preliminary hearings and were bound over for arraignment. They both have a pretrial conference in the district attorney’s office Sept. 10 at 2:15 p.m. In other felony cases, Mitchell L. Moore, 24, of Eagle River, charged with six counts of uttering a forgery, had an initial appearance adjourned to Sept. 16 at 10 a.m. Moore told the court he doesn’t qualify for a pubic defender and would like more time to retain an attorney. According to the complaint, Moore allegedly wrote six checks at four Eagle River area businesses in July after two check books were reported stolen from a man’s truck July 3. The check amounts ranged from $14.24 to $101.43. John A. Price, 61, of St. Germain, charged with attempted strangulation and suffocation, misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct, had a plea and sentencing hearing rescheduled for Aug. 27 at 9 a.m. because the court was told he was in the hospital last week. Kevin M. Mauzer, 45, of Land O’ Lakes, charged with two counts of uttering a forgery, had a plea and sentencing hearing rescheduled Oct. 14 at 1:30 p.m. Dylan J. Bleicher, 18, of Land O’ Lakes, charged with burglary of a building or

dwelling, theft of moveable property and four counts of misdemeanor criminal damage to property, waived his preliminary hearing and probable cause was found he had committed a crime. He was bound over for arraignment and pleaded not guilty. A pretrial conference was set for Sept. 17 at 9 a.m. According to the complaint, Bleicher allegedly entered a residence in the town of Cloverland between June 6 and 9, taking medications from a nightstand and jewelry, and causing damage to artwork, steins, lamps and other household items. According to court documents, there is at least one other suspect in the case. Bleicher also allegedly damaged three mailboxes in the towns of Land O’ Lakes and Lincoln July 5, using fireworks or explosive devices while riding in a vehicle driven by a 19-year-old Eagle River man who also was charged with three counts of criminal damage to property, receiving or concealing stolen property, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, all misdemeanors. Shane Ray, 19, of Phelps, charged with two counts burglary of a building or dwelling, and two counts of criminal damage to property, was bound over for arraignment and entered a not guilty plea. According to the complaint, Ray was allegedly involved in the burglary of a residence at 3977 Pedersen Trail in Phelps March 15, 2012, and the Eagle River Animal Hospital June 28, 2013. Blood found at both scenes linked Ray to the burglaries, according to law enforcement. Probable cause was not found linking Ray to another burglary case in the town of Winchester July 22, 2013. Ray also was charged with felony bail jumping Aug. 5. A pretrial conference has been set for Sept. 17 at 11:15 a.m. in the district attorney’s office. Darcy L. Jacobson, 25, of Wabeno, charged with attempting to flee or elude a traffic officer, operating a motor vehicle while revoked and misdemeanor bail jumping, made a request for inpatient treatment, but District Attorney Albert Moustakis said he would like proof of the inpatient agreement and would like someone to transport Jacobson to the facility.

Nielsen said he would allow Jacobson’s release for treatment with a $2,000 cash bond, with confirmation from the facility and that someone would drive Jacobson. According to the complaint, Jacobson was arrested in Lac du Flambeau July 11. A law enforcement officer said Jacobson was initially driving 39 mph in a 25 mph zone and allegedly at one point was traveling 70 mph in a 25 mph zone with an officer in pursuit. Jacobson also was charged with delivery of a schedule I or II narcotic drug, misdemeanor bail jumping, for allegedly selling oxycodone in the Lake of the Torches Casino in Lac du Flambeau Aug. 4. Charles P. Thompson, 47, of Lac du Flambeau, pleaded no contest and was found guilty of fifth-offense operating while intoxicated. His sentence was withheld and he was placed on probation for three years. Charges of operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration and operating a motor vehicle while revoked were dismissed in the plea agreement. He was arrested May 4 with a preliminary breath test of 0.133%. Conditions of Thompson’s probation include: fined $2,182; driver’s license revoked for 36 months; ignition interlock device for 36 months; alcohol and other drug abuse counseling deemed appropriate by the agent; not to possess or consume intoxicants; no taverns; and serve seven months in the Vilas County Jail with work release privileges. He received credit for five days served and his jail time must commence Oct. 19. Judge Nielsen also said Thompson’s $1,000 cash bond must be used to pay outstanding fines and the balance will be applied to the $2,182 fine. Lawrence A. Sweet, 36, of Lac du Flambeau, convicted of substantial battery and disorderly conduct after a jury trial June 19, had a new sentencing date set for Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. Sweet is serving a sentence in Ashland County, with an expected release date of Sept. 3. Dale C. Deverney, 26, of Lac du Flambeau, convicted of attempted armed robbery Dec. 19, 2007, and convicted of criminal damage to property and battery to a law enforcement officer July 12, 2012, petitioned the court for a sen-

tence adjustment. Deverney had been sentenced to 2½ years in the Wisconsin Prison System (WPS) and three years of extended supervision on the first conviction and one year in the WPS on the battery conviction, consecutive to the time he is now serving. Moustakis objected to the sentence adjustment and Judge Nielsen denied the request, saying it was not in the public’s best interest. Eli F. Corbine, 23, of Odanah, charged with throwing or discharging bodily fluids at a public safety worker, disorderly conduct, obstructing an officer and three counts of felony bail jumping, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 30 at 11:15 a.m. According to the complaint, Corbine was at a party at 2793 Miskwaadesi Drive in Lac du Flambeau Aug. 8 and allegedly spit at an officer during his arrest. George A. Diver III, 20, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with felony bail jumping and disorderly conduct, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 30 at 10:30 a.m. According to the complaint, Diver was involved in a fight with another inmate at the Vilas County Jail Aug. 13 and allegedly used a broken floor tile to threaten the other inmate. Channing D.J. Williams, 26, of Lac du Flambeau, who had a deferred entry of judgement entered June 19 to a charge of second-degree sexual assault of child and was placed on probation for four years, had a motion hearing adjourned to Oct. 14 at 2:30 p.m. According to the complaint, Williams allegedly consumed intoxicants July 25 and Moustakis made a motion to revoke Williams’ DEJ. A condition of his probation was that he not drink or possess alcohol. Leonard R. Chosa, 40, of Lac du Flambeau, pleaded no contest and was found guilty of delivery of marijuana. Two other counts of delivery of marijuana were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Chosa was sentenced to one year in the WPS followed by two years of extended supervision, consecutive to his present sentence currently being served in the Stanley Correctional Facility. According to the complaint, Chosa sold marijuana in a controlled purchase in Lac du Flambeau Aug. 3, 2010.

State Representative Paul Tittl (R-Manitowoc) recently introduced a bill to raise the speed limit from 65 to 70 miles per hour on freeways and expressways. Wisconsin is now the only Upper Midwestern state with a 65 mph limit. This bill would align the state’s speed limit with that of neighboring states. “Nearly 5% of Wisconsin commuters have a one-way commute of 60 minutes or more,” said Tittl. “This bill will enable them to get home faster so they can spend more time with their families.” Speed limits were 70 mph on rural highways until the federal government lowered the speed limit to 55 mph in 1973 due to concerns about fuel shortages. In 1995, federal regulations were abolished and states returned to setting

their own limits. Many states immediately raised limits back to 70 mph or higher. Now, 37 states have a speed limit of 70 mph or above on some portion of their roads. “When I talk to people about raising the limit, many of them say it’s about time,” said Tittl. “They have driven in other states and like the option of driving a few miles per hour faster on our roads too.” Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) supports the idea to raise the limit. Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan all enforce a 70-mph limit and “we haven’t seen any issues there,” said Vos. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has already conducted a preliminary study recommending consideration of raising the speed limit to 70 mph on certain roadways.

Law protects children in vehicles The Wisconsin State Patrol’s Zero in Wisconsin program recently uploaded a video illustrating the fourstep progression in child passenger safety required by state law. The video is online at zeroinwisconsin.gov/childsafetyseats. Generally, state law

requires that children must be restrained in a child safety seat until they reach age 4 and in a booster seat until age 8. The State Patrol also recommends that youths ride in the backseat until they reach age 12. The cost of a safety restraint violation ranges from $150.10 to $175.30.

NEWS DOA grant accepted to research housing ___________ BY BRIANA JONES NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

The Three Lakes Town Board recently accepted a $7,000 Community Development Block Planning Grant from the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), which will be used to initiate a plan for affordable housing in Three Lakes to attract new businesses and homeowners. The town must match $3,000, for a total of $10,000 for the project, and was required to sign a letter of acceptance to move forward. By accepting the award, the board agrees the DOA may initiate fact-finding research. “It’s to determine whether the demand and supply is there for housing,” said Harris. Volk raised concerns about DOA housing taking away business from the rental housing options currently available in Three Lakes that are not subsidized. Supervisor Steve Garbowicz reassured Volk that from his experience with similar grant projects, the housing would not be subsidized. The board will not know if the housing would be subsidized or private until the data is collected and research is complete. The board unanimously

approved accepting the award to allow the DOA to begin its fact-finding research. The board also announced there will be a Tiny Tykes Daycare at the Three Lakes Elementary School to replace the former daycare located there. There is a link for the new daycare on the town website at townofthreelakes.com. In other action, the board: — granted amplified noise permits for Mai Tiki Bar & Grill for a golf outing and scholarship fundraiser; — after hearing from citizens regarding the dump transfer station, added a note to discuss some type of signage at a future meeting; — tabled a consideration for Fire House No. 1 signage from July 2 to the Sept. 3 meeting, as Mark Kirby is waiting on other quotes; — after hearing a recommendation from the planning commission, approved color choices for the chamber building to be painted the same color with flower boxes to be painted red instead of green; and — granted a liquor license to Wayne Yankala and Janette Flemming for the 3 Lakes Diner, which will take the place of the Main Street Café at 1802 Superior St.

Repairs slated for Johnson House as board approves $9,450 quote ___________ BY BRIANA JONES NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

The Three Lakes Historical Society’s Johnson House finally will be getting the attention it needs after the town board approved a quote from Boney Masonry of Bark River, Mich., for foundation work at a cost of $9,450. Town Clerk Sue Harris put an ad in the newspaper for additional quote requests in hopes of hiring a local contractor. “We ran an ad and we also had specs available in the town office,” said Harris.

“Nobody applied. Nobody even called and inquired about it at all.” The board has already paid Gensler Excavating $5,300 for work to fix drainage issues at the Johnson House. The current quote of $9,450 does not include any electrical or plumbing work or labor and materials. Society President Bill Hayes updated the board on what else needs to be done to complete the foundation repairs and finish the job. “A year ago at a budget committee meeting, I presented a bid from a company in Rhinelander for $30,000, which had to do with lifting

the entire building and pouring a whole new foundation underneath,” said Hayes. The society consulted with two local contractors, along with a mechanical and civil engineer who said it could be done for a lot less. Hayes explained that the next phase will be repairing the foundation damage from a wall separating from the floor because it was sitting on a foundation that was not sized correctly for the building. This caused the outer wall to move away as water seeped in. “The two engineers believe Boney’s bid is very fair and very economical and

will indeed repair what has been damaged because of the years of seepage,” said Hayes, who added that the $9,450 should finish all the repairs. One engineer will be on site to supervise Boney’s work. The society will take care of what’s not included in the proposal. Supervisor Pat Volk praised the society’s efforts to get the work done. “I think you’ve pretty well covered it with your engineers and your two local contractors and we put the ad it the paper so there’s not much more we can do. I think you did a good job,” said Volk.

It would appear Sugar Camp citizens have taken matters into their own hands with regards to the fallen waters levels in Jennie Webber Lake, according to Town Chairman Scott Holewinski. The town had removed a rock pile in front of a culvert at the lake which kept the water levels up after hearing from a concerned citizen that the water line appeared to be getting too high. “The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) told us to push it out, and we pushed it out,” said Holewinski. “The lake, of course, got way too low.” Although the town is officially waiting to hear from the DNR about what to do next, the rocks have mysteriously reappeared in their original place, according to Holewinski. “We don’t know what the DNR is doing yet,” he said.

“But the rocks got put back in there by some people. I don’t know who did it, but the lake level should return to where it was.” The Sugar Camp Town Board heard a litany of complaints from Jennie Webber Lake property owners at a recent meeting, including reports of beached boats, dying vegetation and negative impacts on the lake’s ecosystem. “We all know it’s too low,” said Holewinski. “We’re just waiting to hear what the DNR wants to do about it at this point.”

WPS eyes Otter Rapids Dam sale ___________ BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR

___________

Contending the Otter Rapids hydroelectric power plant no longer fits the company’s electric generation needs due to its size and location, Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) has entered into negotiations to sell the historic dam to Renewable World Energies (RWE). The Otter Rapids dam is located just west of Eagle River on the Wisconsin River and holds back water that forms the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. The sale should not affect any of the recreational or other opportunities provided by the Eagle Chain of Lakes, according to Kerry Spees, senior public relations consultant for Integrys Energy Group, “Because it’s (the dam) a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) facility, the way it’s operated won’t change,” said Spees. “It must be operated under the same rules as WPS.” The parties hope to arrive at an Asset Sale Agreement, following the due diligence of the buyer, by Dec. 31, 2013. A sale is subject to regulatory approvals which would likely take six months, according to Spees.

The terms of the project’s license with FERC, which expires in 2037, requires that the Otter Rapids hydroelectric power plant continue to be operated as it has been. WPS, however, no longer sees the dam as a benefit to it’s company, according to Spees. “It’s a small dam and doesn’t generate a lot of power,” he said. “It looks like we found a firm that will operate it according to the regulations.” According to Tom Berutti, spokesperson for RWE, the company was attracted to Otter Rapids because of its historical significance and its own capabilities to optimize the electrical generation of hydroelectric facilities of this vintage and size. Berutti said RWE expects to make improvements that will keep Otter Rapids financially viable, as well. Berutti said RWE — which owns and operates 22 hydroelectric facilities in the upper Midwest — has redeveloped previous hydroelectric sites and rehabilitated original infrastructure, turning nonproductive assets into sustainable supplemental energy sources in many communities. Construction on the Otter Rapids Dam was started in 1906 and the

power plant was completed in 1908 to supply electrical power to the city of Eagle River. The cost to construct the original dam was $100,000. The dam was sold to Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company (WVIC) in 1927 for $350,000 and at one time supplied power to Eagle River, Three Lakes, Woodruff and Minocqua. Wisconsin Public Service later purchased the dam and controls the water level for WVIC. The height of the dam (also known as head) is 12.5 feet and the generating capacity is 700 kilowatts, according to WVIC. Pat Weber, foreman for the Eagle River Light & Water Utility, said the hydroelectric power plant today would only generate enough power for about one-third of the city’s electrical needs. The city now purchases its power from Wisconsin Public Power Inc. While there was a bridge over the Wisconsin River at the dam for many years, the town of Cloverland removed the bridge last year. The dam holds back water that helps form the Eagle River Chain of Lakes, consisting of nine lakes comprising about 3,900 acres and 68 miles of shoreline. The water on the Eagle

River Chain is maintained at a consistent level through a charter dating back to the early 1900s, which allows the water level to fluctuate by only several inches either side of the minimum/maximum. The original FERC license for the WVIC reservoir system expired in 1993. After more than five years of deliberation between WVIC, FERC and numerous other resource agencies and public groups, a new license was issued to WVIC in July 1996. The new license contains specific operating rules for the reservoir system that were designed to balance the many benefits of the system including hydropower production, flood control and recreation, while at the same time protecting water quality and fish and wildlife resources. The Burnt-Rollways Dam between Eagle River and Three Lakes on Eagle Creek also is operated by WVIC, but has no hydroelectric power plant. The Three Lakes reservoir consists of 20 lakes which have a combined surface area of 7,600 acres and 106 miles of shoreline. There is a boat lift at Burnt-Rollways Dam to transport boats between the Eagle River and Three Lakes chains.

Proposed casino gets federal approval The Menominee tribe’s plans for an off-reservation Indian casino in Kenosha were approved Friday by the U.S. Interior Department — an action that immediately sparked comments from Gov. Scott Walker, who has veto power over the project. “Given the approval by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs for the proposed Menominee casino, we will move forward with evaluating this casino using the criteria previously laid out by my administration,” said Walker. “The three criteria are: no new net gaming, community support and consensus among the 11 sovereign nations.” The Menominee tribe has been trying to open a casino at the defunct Dairyland Greyhound Park in Kenosha since the mid-1990s. Meanwhile, the Forest County Potawatomi tribe has been fighting the Kenosha proposal for years, fearing it would cut into business at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino near Miller Park in Milwaukee. The Menominee tribe claims the project would create about 3,300 permanent jobs and 1,400 construction jobs. The Potawatomi tribe contends that a like number of permanent jobs would be lost in Milwaukee. The Potawatomi also fear a

Kenosha casino would tap into its share of the Chicagoland market. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett on Friday urged Walker to reject the Menominee casino because of “the projected job losses and economic harm it will have on Milwaukee,” according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story. The city and Milwaukee County each received $5.5 million in fees this year from the Potawatomi, as part of agreements that provide the local governments with a cut of its annual gambling revenue. Walker has not said whether he would approve the $800 million Menominee project or two other off-reservation proposals that are still pending before the Interior Department’s Bureau of Indian Affairs. “As I have discussed with tribal leaders and representatives during my regular quarterly meetings with all the tribes, we will move forward with a 60-day comment gathering period for the tribes following the federal government’s approval,” said Walker. “My administration will begin reaching out to tribal representatives ahead of the beginning of the comment period to ensure all the tribes have the opportunity to provide feedback.”

Representatives schedule town hall listening session State Sen. Tom Tiffany (RHazelhurst), Rep. Mary Czaja (R-Irma) and Rep. Rob Swearingen (R-Rhinelander) announced they will hold a joint town hall listening session with Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary John Scocos in Rhinelander Wednesday, Aug. 28. The town hall listening session will be an opportunity for area veterans to discuss current issues as they pertain to Wisconsin veter-

ans, benefits and services. All area veterans are welcome to attend. The meeting is set from 10 a.m. to noon at the Veterans Center, located at 1002 Coon St. in Rhinelander.

VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS

NEWS City Light & Water warns of scamming Eagle River Light & Water Utility recently warned customers to be wary of callers who claim to be from the utility requesting immediate payment for a bill or meter. In one instance in Wisconsin, a caller told a small-business owner that he had to pay a $499 deposit that was past due for a new meter or else he would have his electricity shut off, according to utility Manager Patrick Weber. “What’s more, the caller asked that the business owner buy a prepaid debit card to make the payment,” he said. “These scams take advantage of business owners by calling them at busy times.” In other instances, callers targeted residential customers, claiming that the household is behind on its electricity bill and needs to pay up now, or that a meter is malfunctioning and could put people at risk. “These scammers prey upon people’s fears,” said VETS MEMORIAL — The late Roman Zulkowski of Eagle River was remembered during a program Saturday for building the Vilas County Veterans Memorial on the courthouse grounds in Eagle River. Zulkowski, a member of the VFW Post 8637, started building the monument in 1990 and finished it in 1992. Above: A group gathered at the Vilas County Veterans Park to honor Zulkowski.

Weber. “They can also seem legitimate in many ways. For example, they can program a caller ID so that the call appears to originate from the utility’s area code.” Eagle River Light & Water Utility reminded customers: — the utility will not demand immediate payment over the phone, since customers receive a disconnection notice well before action is taken; — customers need not provide personal financial information over the phone — such as a checking or credit card account number or a Social Security number — to enroll in any kind of program or pay off a balance; and — that it does not ask that customers make payments to purchase or repair electric meters. If in doubt, Weber recommended that customers hang up the phone and call customer service at (715) 4798121.

Income levels listed for school meals Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Services updates income eligibility guidelines for students to qualify for free or reduced-price school meals based on federal poverty levels. For the 2013-’14 school year, children in a household of four with income of $30,615 per year or less will qualify for free meals. If that family’s income is between $30,615 and $43,568, children can receive reducedprice school meals. The annual income scale for determining eligibility for free and reduced-price meals or milk for the 2013-’14 school year is as follows: To qualify for free school meals, income levels must be at or below: $14,937 for a household size of one; $20,163 for two; $25,389 for three; $30,615 for four; $35,841 for five; and $41,067 for six household members. For each additional household member, add $5,226 to the income level. To qualify for reducedprice school meals, income levels must be at or between: $14,937.01 and $21,257 for a household size of one; $20,163.01 and $28,694 for two; $25,389.01 and $36,131 for three; $30,615.01 and $43,568 for four; $35,841.01 and $51,005 for five; and $41,067.01 and $58,442 for six household members. For each additional household member, add $7,437 to the income level. The state’s participating public and private schools typically provide applications for free and reduced-price school meals during registra-

tion and in the beginning weeks of the school year, though applications may be submitted at any time. Additionally, schools use the state’s direct certification program to simplify access to free meals for students from households that participate in the FoodShare or W-2 programs or for children in foster care. Parents or guardians of these students do not need to submit a paper application for free meals. Data from the 2012-’13 school year shows that 43.2% of public school students, or 358,775, were eligible for free and reduced-price school meals. “The federal income guidelines are designed to ensure that hunger doesn’t have to be part of the school day because hungry children are less likely to be eager and attentive students,” said State Superintendent Tony Evers. “Schools that offer the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs help families feed their children, and because the meals are balanced for nutrition and calories, they provide important support to education and efforts to change childhood obesity rates.” All students are eligible to eat school meals in public and private schools that participate in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast programs. To receive the meals for free or at a reduced price, parents or guardians must complete a form, providing the names and income from all sources for all household members. All information is kept confidential, according to Evers.

DeBruyne introduces plan for Vilas County hiring freeze ___________ BY KEN ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

A proposal to introduce a hiring freeze for Vilas County government was offered, and then dropped, by a member of the county Personnel Committee last week after the committee chairman spoke against it. Supervisor Ron DeBruyne apparently was going to introduce a resolution for county board action to immediately stop adding employees, but said since he was now a member of the Personnel Committee he wanted to discuss it as an agenda item. “We’re hiring people back and it was my understanding with the voluntary reductions we would wait a period of time to see how that affected us financially,” DeBruyne said. “I’m concerned about the number of people being hired without getting our financial situation to settle down,” he said. “Since I’m a member of this committee, it would be distrustful for me to bring it to the county board by myself.” Board Chairman Steve Favorite, a Personnel Committee member, said the county found out it was overstaffed and firing people did not sit well with board members and that’s why the voluntary reduction came about. “There are a lot of ‘what ifs’ in there and what would we look at?” Favorite said. “We have a limited term employee (LTE) in the District Attorney’s office. It takes a three-fourths majority vote to fill a position and that’s a high standard. I’m wondering if it would work since we have so many needs.” Committee Chairman Jim Behling reminded DeBruyne how the county got where it’s at. “The Finance Committee wanted each department to

identify positions we could do without and the county board rejected that,” Behling stated. “Then we went with the voluntary reduction and that passed. So rather than targeted work reductions there was no control (over who left) and we lost critical positions. I could not and will not support a total hiring freeze. A hiring freeze does not accomplish our goal.” DeBruyne wasn’t completely satisfied with that argument. “The three-fourths vote for a position was pushed through by me years ago,” he started out saying. “People had a month to think about the voluntary reduction and just because the money was put back in the budget doesn’t mean we have to spend it. We can’t just close the door, but if people are backed up and down the aisle we need to look at it. The DA’s LTE originally came out as a fulltime employee and was termed an LTE just to get it approved.” When asked by Behling if he wanted to make a motion, DeBruyne said he wanted the topic set aside. Employee transfers Two separate policies on county employees transferring are presenting a problem with civilian staff in the sheriff’s department, according to Human Service manager Janna Kahl, who was looking for direction from the committee. “A person from the courthouse who transfers to the sheriff ’s department has a one-year trial period and if ‘deemed unfit’ they could be terminated by the sheriff, chief deputy or the Law Enforcement Committee,” Kahl said. “They would return to their former courthouse position and that presents a whole set of problems.” Courthouse employees have a six-month probation-

ary period. Supervisor Ed Bluthardt, who is now chairman of the Law Enforcement Committee, didn’t like keeping a position open for one year to see if the person who transferred to the sheriff’s department, for example, would make it. Communications Lt. Dale Soltow said telecommunicators, who are civilian staff, also spoke of the problem it could present. “If we promote telecommunicators to sergeant and it didn’t work out, we would fire them? I don’t like that,” Soltow said, knowing they would loose a highly-trained person. “Could we add something about being looked at on a case-by-case basis?” Behling said allowing employees to return to their former position automatically was not the answer, but DeBruyne pointed out the sheriff ’s department has a different standard and it he supported a case-by-case basis. That position was also supported by Kahl. Behling said there were only two choices to make. “You leave the position open for one year or you fill it,” Behling said. “Is that appropriate to come back to the person you hired and say you’re fired because the person who transferred wants their former job back? I’m personally opposed to that.” Bluthardt said he was frustrated with conflicting policies on transfers. “The one-year probationary period I think is excessive,” Bluthardt said. “We’ve lost our policy on transfers from the courthouse to the sheriff ’s department and within the sheriff’s department. If the person is not qualified to get through a probationary period, then they shouldn’t be employed, period.” Adding the “case-by-case” language was approved on a 3-2 vote, with supervisors Loren Johnson, DeBruyne

and Favorite in favor and Bluthardt and Behling opposed. It would apply only to civilian staff in the sheriff’s department. Termination discussed Current language allows the sheriff, chief deputy or Law Enforcement Committee to terminate an employee in the sheriff’s department. Kahl wanted to narrow it down to the Personnel Committee or the Civil Service Commission. Bluthardt said termination authority should be within the sheriff’s department, but Favorite didn’t want the county to give the sheriff a portion of county home rule. Behling said it wasn’t proper because it’s not a constitutional duty of a sheriff. After a long discussion, the committee voted 5-0 to allow termination by the Personal Committee or Civil Service Commission. Other business In other business, the Personnel Committee approved naming a lead highway person at the Arbor Vitae and Boulder Junction highway facilities, but couldn’t agree on what the raise in pay should be. The vacancy of shop foreman at the Eagle River highway facility was authorized to be filled. Commission on Aging Director Sue Richmond was granted a request to allow Pam Williams to work one extra day a week for eight weeks during the time period for enrollment in the Affordable Care Act and Medicare Part D. The position is grant funded and the extra work would be covered by grant dollars. County Treasurer Jerri Radtke asked for an employee to add one-half hour to her workday, which was approved 3-2. Later in the meeting, Radtke came back and withdrew her request.

Grow North quarterly meeting planned Sept. 6 in Tomahawk Grow North Regional Economic Development Corp.’s quarterly meeting of the general membership will be held Friday, Sept. 6, at Treehaven College of Natural Resources in Tomahawk.

budget and the state’s projobs tax incentives. Those incentives include the new manufacturing and agriculture tax credit, along with expanded incentives for investments in Wisconsin companies. He also will talk about property tax relief, describe the state’s ongoing job creation initiatives and discuss recent Department of Revenue reports on the state’s economy. Interested members and guests are welcome to attend the meeting, which will begin

at 9 a.m. and will end no later than 10:30 a.m. Continental breakfast will be served. Attendees must register by emailing workforcedevelopment@nicoletcollege.edu.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) has led a bipartisan group of 20 senators in support of rural hospitals following a report last week that would cut Medicare payments to some rural hospitals, including 53 in Wisconsin. In a letter to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus and Ranking Member Orin Hatch, Baldwin and 19 other senators expressed their opposition to a federal recommendation that proposes to cut Medicare reimbursement levels for rural hospitals such as Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital. The proposal would reduce Medicare reimbursement levels for Critical Access Hospital’s (CAH) and removes the “critical access” designation for any hospital within 10 miles of another hospital. The recent Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) report proposes decertifying all CAHs within a certain number of miles from the nearest hospital. “I am deeply concerned by this proposal. If enacted, these policies would compromise access to health care and weaken rural economies in Wisconsin and across the country,” said Baldwin. “I fear that these proposals could even force many rural Wisconsin hospitals to shut their doors — causing a ripple effect on our economy and leaving many without access to care.” Critical Access Hospitals play a vital role providing access to medical services, as well as economic security and jobs to rural communities. “Given the importance of these hospitals, it is essential that they receive proper Medicare reimbursement — not face devastating cuts,” said Baldwin. “The proposals put forward in the OIG

report all require congressional action. That is why I am leading in a bipartisan manner to oppose these policies, while standing up for rural hospitals, their patients, and the local economies they help support.” Nationally, the OIG recommendation would rescind this status for roughly twothirds of the nation’s CAHs. In Wisconsin, the impact would be even worse, resulting in 53 of 58 CAHs losing this status. Baldwin said this change would have a devastating impact on rural communities throughout the country and could unintentionally strip sole community hospitals of their designation. In the letter, the bipartisan group writes, “Critical Access Hospitals play a vital role providing access to health care, economic security for families and seniors, and jobs to rural communities across the nation. These hospitals are safety nets for hundreds of thousands of Americans, providing inpatient and outpatient services, as well as 24-hour emergency care. CAHs make it possible for patients with complex medical needs to remain at home in rural communities. Importantly, these hospitals also serve as local economic engines.” Baldwin said a typical CAH has 141 employees and generates $6.8 million in wages. For every job at a CAH, these hospitals create an additional .38 jobs in their community — generating an added $1.6 million in economic impact. “Given the importance of CAHs throughout rural America, it is essential that these hospitals receive proper Medicare reimbursement,” said Baldwin. U.S. senators representing 15 states joined Baldwin in signing the letter.

Five-day DMV centers to expand business hours All five-day Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) service centers will be open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. starting Sept. 3, marking an increase in hours available to customers. After Labor Day, those planning to visit one of DMV’s five-day customer service centers will have nearly two more hours during the week to visit. “Rather than having different hours on various days of the week, all 29 of the DMV’s five-day centers will now have uniform hours and will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday,” said Bureau of Field Services Director Donna Brown-Martin. “Currently, our five-day centers open early on one week day and stay open late on another,” said Brown-Martin. “Sometimes customers will show up early thinking it is an early-open day, or arrive

late thinking it is a late-close day, and discover that they had the day wrong. Consistent hours will make it much easier for our customers to remember, and that is important to us.” The DMV also reminded customers that driver license and identification products are valid for eight years, minimizing the need to travel to a customer service location. Additionally, many services — including vehicle registration renewal and some title services — are available online at wisconsindmv.gov.

Our View Time for highway safety as a school year begins Buses will be running, school bells will be ringing and students at Northland Pines, Phelps and Three Lakes will return to the classroom next Tuesday, Sept. 3. It’s time to think about highway safety, because nearly three months have passed since motorists saw students waiting for buses on narrow rural roads, crowding crosswalks or biking to school. State law dictates that all motorists stop their vehicles when they see flashing red lights and an illuminated stoplight on a bus, even on the four-lane highways that surround the city of Eagle River. Though nobody would knowingly risk the life of a child, injury or death could result if motorists don’t think twice about the bus stop they might encounter over the next hill.

OPINION/COMMENTARY

America is still the land of opportunity IT IS INTERESTING to note that today’s high school and college graduates may have, or may change jobs, 15 times during their working careers. How times have changed in the last few generations when workers would stay with one employer for 40 years. As we celebrate Labor Day this weekend, it is good to know that being useful is the best job security you’ll ever have. It is also important to be flexible and be able to adjust to our changing world. Labor Day is a good time to remind ourselves that there is honor in all work, no matter what kind of work it is. We all have God-given talents and we need to discover them. We need to be exposed to a variety of opportunities in order to find our calling. This reminds me of something English historian and author Paul Johnson wrote about 12 years ago. Johnson, now 85, said there are “10 Reasons for Identifying with America.” When young people go to him for advice, he always says to them, “If you’re ambitious, make your life in the USA.” Johnson offers us his 10 reasons: 1. America is the freest country in the world. If you wish to unleash your individual energies and personality, whether in business, the professions or the creative arts, the United States is where the fewest barriers are

People Make the Difference By Byron McNutt raised, by law or custom, to your success. 2. This freedom under the law is supported by a democratic system that has been working for more than 230 years. What the American people want, they eventually get. If you like people, if you believe in them, then America is the place for you. 3. Because democracy works, Americans believe in the laws they enact. The United States is a country in which respect for the law is deeply rooted and is closely related to moral feelings. This is particularly important for aspiring entrepreneurs. Americans may think regulations are bad but they are stifling in most European countries. Success in business is still compatible with a strict observance of the law and a profound morality. 4. The majority of successful entrepreneurs in the U.S. still return their riches to the society that made them possible. They take seriously Andrew Carnegie’s precept that it is morally acceptable to become rich, but: “The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.” They devote their wealth

to creating charities, endorsing universities and supporting the arts and public institutions of every description. 5. This leads to, and reflects, a general spirit of giving in America. To become an American is to join the most generous community on Earth. The giving is expressed both in public projects and in private charities. Americans are known for being generous. Its vast wealth-creating capacity and huge drive for enrichment is balanced by an equally determined will to share the fruits. 6. The American passion for making money is, if anything, exceeded by the passion for education. The U.S. education system is a workin-progress. It is constantly being changed to fit the times. What impresses me is the sheer scale and variety, and its infinite capacity for change and improvement. There are no fewer than 3,600 colleges and universities in the U.S., of every conceivable description, so that the range of choice open to parents and their children is unrivaled anywhere else in the world. 7. In much of America,

Around here I know better than to expect a harvest of more than one or two birds, especially since I usually put a half-hearted effort into it, but for me it is the first opportunity of the year to sit in a blind of cattails and balsam that makes the opening of this waterfowl season so special. Two weeks after that I’ll get to sit in a duck blind for the first time with the chance of a mallard or woodie brought to hand by my golden wonder, Molly, although any ducks harvested on Sept. 14 or 15 will be by the young lad I will be mentoring during the annual youth hunt. I’ll have my first crack at the local ducks on Sept. 21, and with any luck will be dining on roasted duck the next day. If not, it will be only one week after that when it will be time for nine days in Mecca, otherwise known as North Dakota, where I will help fill up the freezer and my stom-

It was an atypical August summer day in Washington, D.C., 50 years ago. Temperatures were in the low 80s, about 10 degrees cooler than normal. Skies were partly cloudy. Most government officials were vacationing. I was a young copyboy at the NBC News Washington bureau. Correspondent Jack Perkins asked me to accompany him to hear a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Lincoln Memorial. What I knew about African-Americans (“negroes” when people wanted to be polite; much worse when they did not) was limited to my experience with two maids employed by my parents during my childhood and years playing college basketball. I knew our maids only by their first names, a vestige of slavery when blacks were viewed as less valuable than white people and denied even the dignity of their surnames. Basketball exposed me to people I might not otherwise have met growing up in an all-white suburban Washington, D.C., neighborhood. Basketball and socializing with my African-American teammates began to teach me about race, class and discrimination. Then came that August day. Never before and not since have I heard or seen a person with such rhetorical power, conviction and authority. For those who were not alive at that time, it is important to remember the enormous pressures facing Dr. King, his family and associates. Many voices rejected Dr. King’s nonviolent strategy. They believed such a tactic delayed and thus denied justice. Stokely Carmichael, H. Rap Brown, Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale and his Black Panther Party and others preferred confrontation, including violence. King thought it more effective to appeal to the better angels of whites. He saw goodness — or at least its potential — even in those who called him a communist and much worse. Observing that sea of humanity stretching down

It’s also time to renew our commitment to education. Districts here contain some of the most experienced, most dedicated professionals in education today. They say it takes a community to educate a child, and so it is with any school system. It’s a big investment that pays big dividends, as Wisconsin’s schools are the envy of the nation. Our tax dollars are not being wasted on mediocre education, but instead are being invested in the leaders of tomorrow. The entire community should take pride in knowing we have some of the best schools in Wisconsin.

Equalizing values is good, and it doesn’t raise taxes

The Department of Revenue is often criticized for inflating property values and increasing taxes, but neither is true. What they do each year equates to fairer taxation in the long run, determining the change in value for each class of property based on actual arm’s-length sales. Those adjustments lead to local changes as assessors eventually keep pace with changes in the marketplace. No state department can increase property taxes. It is only school boards, county board, town boards and technical colleges that can increase property taxes — through the tax levies they set every fall. Unfortunately, lingering recessionary times have caused a decline in North Woods property values for the fifth straight year. But commercial values were on the rise last year, signaling to state officials that dropping property values are beginning to stabilize. The good news is that compared to residential values in many parts of Wisconsin, property values in this premier vacation and retirement area are still very strong.

this education system is underpinned by a vigorous churchgoing tradition that is still alive and working. Most people, in my observation, feel more comfortable in a society in which God is acknowledged and worshiped by the majority. America is both modern and traditional when it comes to tolerance. This combination of old and new is unique and infinitely valuable. 8. The U.S. Constitution provides effective protection against the religious-minded imposing their views on others. Sometimes the courts, in interpreting such provisions, go too far. But in general, the system works to the satisfaction of a public that wants to consider itself part of a Godfearing society without suffering the dangers of fanatical fundamentalism. 9. America still embraces large numbers of people who seek citizenship for all the above reasons. These new arrivals keep the United States young, vigorous, inventive and different. They help to explain why the American economy remains so dynamic, leaving behind such short-lived miracle economies as the German and Japanese versions. America is a continuing miracle, reflecting the ambitions of all the world. 10. The U.S. welcomes immigrants who come to work hard and respect its laws, but it will not deal To McNUTT, Pg. 11A

Students need to remember that according to the law and the protections it provides, pedestrians should walk on the left side of all roadways that don’t have sidewalks and cyclists should ride on the right side of the road, moving with the traffic. Parents should accompany children until they master those points.

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue recently released the 2012 equalized property valuation figures to counties, municipalities, schools and the public, the purpose of which is to adjust values of various classes of property to match market conditions.

There is much treasure to be had THIS IS THE season to harvest the treasures of the North Woods. Granted, many of us have been gathering and eating and storing treasures like walleye, perch and bluegill for several months, and for the most part blueberry and raspberry pickers have done their thing as well. But the real harvesting of the treasures is just beginning, starting with what looks to be a bumper crop of blackberries. I say a bumper crop, even though my honey hole of last year, which from an area approximately 50 yards in diameter yielded over 20 quarts of blackberries, is practically barren this time around. Last weekend I resorted to exploring, trying some spots I hadn’t visited in years, and checking on others in freshly logged areas where I figured a new growth of brambles should be well underway. In maybe an hour of picking I filled a bucket and even left a couple of spots unpicked as the berries there

They know every edible species known to man, and since they haven’t poisoned themselves in many years of picking, I reckon I would feel safe in eating any they pick.

Many supported Festival of Flavors Dear Editor: It was with mixed emotions that I recently announced my (and my husband Ron’s) retirement from the Festival of Flavors event. The Eagle River Revitalization Program has produced this event for the past five years, with planning starting seven years ago as we visited cheesemakers across Wisconsin. Stepping aside from leading the festival committee causes me to reflect on all the great things the Eagle River Revitalization Program (ERRP) and the Festival of Flavors has accomplished in that short time. As a board member of the ERRP and an Eagle River business person, I’ve seen so many improvements to the downtown area, especially to Riverview Park — the focus of Festival of Flavors. This includes park signage, repairs to the shelter building, painting the bandshell, and the joint effort of ERRP, the city of Eagle River and many community organizations in constructing the new restroom building. Along the way, the Festival of Flavors has called attention to the park’s needs and increased use of this beauti-

ful, historic green space. My thanks goes out to volunteers, our festival committee and the ERRP board of directors for all the countless hours of work, promotion and support of the event. The city of Eagle River, Department of Public Works and Eagle River Light & Water also has provided plenty of help. Personally, it has been so gratifying to develop the connections needed to produce this celebration of Wisconsin foods, with so many state agencies, producers, area restaurants and the fine folks who attended and lauded our efforts to put Eagle River foremost in the minds of visitors to the area. Recognition also goes out to the many sponsors and supporters of the Festival of Flavors, without whom the event could not have happened. Most of all I thank my partner in life and in business, Ron, who has supported me during the long hours of planning, volunteering and working at the Festival of Flavors. For me, it was a passion and a labor of love that I will never regret being part of. Cindy Meinholz Eagle River

OPINION/COMMENTARY Maines FROM PAGE 10A ach with everything from mallards to canvasbacks to teal and everything in between, except, of course, spoonies. Back home it will be more North Country duck hunts, a partridge hunt or two and a trip to Eau Claire where my son and I both have fall turkey tags. There will be 1,000 or so scouting trips prior to deer season, followed by an opening day of high hopes for a trophy to come wandering past my stand. Then it will be December once again, the harvest season over, with only memories of the months so quickly past and dreams of a new harvest

season to come 12 months hence to keep me going through a long, cold winter. Ah, but don’t feel sorry for me during those long, cold months, for that shall be the time I enjoy the fruits of all that I have harvested during the golden days of autumn. There will be ducks and geese to eat for sure, hopefully a fresh batch of wild turkey soup, a partridge pie or two and a large selection of venison cuts to choose from every time I open the freezer. The truth is, the only thing I like better — or at least as much — when it comes to harvesting wild berries and wild game is the eating of same such. I also thoroughly enjoy sharing wild feasts with my friends, some of whom are gatherers like me, some of

whom get all their food from a supermarket shelf. Being the nice guy that I am, I would like to share one of my favorite recipes for wild goose with you. The basics of it come from a Ducks Unlimited cookbook, but as with most recipes I try there are modifications. This one is called Geesey Wild Goose Hot Dish. The ingredients include 1-1/2 cups cooked wild rice, two cans cream of celery soup, undiluted, one cup of sliced mushrooms, one cup chicken broth, two cups cubed, cooked wild goose, pepper to taste and one large can of French fried onions. To make, combine all but the fried onions, stir together well, pour into a lightly greased three-quart baking dish, top with onions and bake at 325 degrees for one

hour. Now then, as I said, I rarely take a recipe and follow it exactly. What I have found is that a medium onion chopped and/or a cup or so of sliced celery and a doubling of the mushrooms works well. As a matter of fact, I have never found a recipe yet that does not benefit from a healthy addition of fresh mushrooms and chopped, fresh onion. In North Dakota I double or triple this recipe for my hungry crew, and there is never anything left. One final note; for those of you who don’t hunt or simply won’t eat wild game — the latter of which I consider as simply misguided souls — this recipe works great with any kind of fowl you can buy at the supermarket.

Is peace group allied with pro-choice circle? Letter to the Editor: In your Aug. 21 issue there is an article, as well as an advertisement, describing an upcoming event called Women’s (In-) Equality Day. Sponsored by the Many Ways of Peace organization in Eagle River, the event title is a play on words. Congress established Women’s Equality Day to observe the success of women gaining the right to vote. The guest speaker would be state Rep. Janet Bewley of Ashland. So far so good. Who wouldn’t be in favor of peace and equality? And where is the inequality? Well, it turns out that there is inequality because women don’t have unlimited access to abortion and free birth control. This is right out of the Democratic party playbook. Rep. Bewley is a Democrat, and she feels that equality for women remains elusive because so-called reproductive rights are limited.

tion associating itself with a pro-choice Democrat? Thousands of babies are killed daily in our country through abortion. This is war on the unborn. I use the term baby, but the liberal mainstream media calls the unborn either an embryo or a fetus. Except when they are dealing with a celebrity. Over the past several months we heard the media discussing the royal baby! The offspring of William and Kate was given that title in utero. When did that baby become a person? At the moment of conception. At that very instant he possessed all the DNA from his parents that established so many aspects of his future life. The same thing is true of all of us. Our identities were launched at conception, and God knew each of us then (Psalm 139). We expect peace organizations to advocate for peace and to resist war. How ironic that Many Ways of Peace links up with someone who is OK with the killing of babies. When I graduated from medical school, our whole class recited the Hippocratic Oath together. This had its origin in 400 B.C. Among other statements is the pledge not to perform abortions. Shame on doctors who disregard that ethical standard today. We cheapen life when we

No, we are a sick society, desperately in need of healing.

The Bible defines health as peace, or shalom. It is not the mere absence of disease. It is wholeness.

gomery to Memphis.” While it has long been available, first on VHS and now DVD and excerpts have been televised over the years, the broadcast of the entire documentary is magnetic. Mostly without narration, the film is allowed to speak for itself and speak it does — loudly and powerfully. One sees contorted faces and hears profanity hurled at black marchers. “Go back to Africa!” is one of the few slurs that can be printed in a family newspaper. The scenes are gut-wrenching, embarrassing. Mine was not the only life touched by Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. It is rightly called one of the greatest orations of all time. For those who were there, this is not an overstatement. One wonders what Dr. King might think of racial progress today. Yes, there have been great advances in

civil rights, but fewer advances in strong black families and economic empowerment. Dr. King’s sacrifice opened the door to progress for African-Americans. Perhaps he would say many who are mired in poverty need to go back and retrieve something they seem to have lost, including personal responsibility, accountability and, yes, even faith about which Dr. King often spoke as he salted his speeches with spiritual truths: “I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.” Readers may e-mail Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.

Autumn beauty We say goodbye to August and to the summer months — again. I have said goodbye to many summers in my 73 years. Each goodbye is different and each one a reminder of how precious our time on this planet truly is. This summer, my focus was on eye surgery. Hopefully the fall will see an end to that focus and I will enjoy fall colors with clear eyes. Autumn in Wisconsin is truly a treasure. It starts right in my front yard as my gigantic maple tree explodes in color, causing drivers to pull over and take pictures. Friends ask for leaves to use for their art or to make crowns. Me — I just look at it adoringly. I also love to take drives in the fall. Bill and I did that a lot and I continue the tradition, taking our golden retriever, Bentley, along when it is cool enough. A friend was over the other day and saw some of last year’s leaves in my art studio. She asked for some of them to send to her California friends who do not see leaves like this. When we lived in Colorado at 8,500 feet, we did not see colors like we see here. We saw the gold aspen but large-leafed trees were all but nonexistent. We here in this glorious state are blessed with the colors that we see every year. This fall I hope to do some plein air painting and capture some of these colors in watercolor — a challenge to me as a beginner. What is it that you do in order not to miss autumn beauty? Some of us move so quickly that we miss what is right in our own front yard. Why not plan an autumn bike ride or two, or a drive through the lovely colors? We live in a beautiful world that holds us in awe if we stop long enough to take it in, absorb the beauty, To REFLECTIONS, Pg. 2B

Arts: six performances planned in new season FROM PAGE 1B day, Oct. 26. “This is an exciting musical revue with hits like ‘Sherry,’ ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry,’ ‘Walk Like A Man,’ and ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,’ that you’ll enjoy from the dynamic songbook of those boys from Jersey, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons,” said Wendt. “The cast of “Oh What a Night!” stays true to the original recordings without trying to mimic or impersonate the group, so the end result is a show as fresh and relevant today as it is nostalgic for the purists,” he said. “This exhilarating family-friendly musical revue has been thrilling audiences with great choreography, boundless energy, humor and, of course, instantly recognizable classic pop songs that have become timeless.” On Saturday, Dec. 7, “Close To You: A Carpenters Christmas,” will take place on stage. “One of the great holiday TV specials was that of The Carpenters. Singer Lisa Rock and her six-piece band are keeping The Carpenters’ holiday traditions alive and bringing their unforgettable Christmas songs to the stage,” said Wendt. “Based on the music of The Carpenters’ two holiday albums and Christmas variety shows, and featuring ‘Merry Christmas Darling’ and the jazzy ‘Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town,’ it’s a holiday concert that spreads joy and cheer to all ages,” he said. The Abrams Brothers come to town Saturday, March 15, 2014.

“The Abrams Brothers — John, James and cousin Elijah — skillfully combine the music of their roots with their own distinct sound,” said Wendt. “It’s a combination of bluegrass, country and folk rock that’s had the Canadian festival circuit up in arms over their potential, and the rest are catching on.” Wendt stated. They are fourth-generation musicians with musical roots reaching back to their greatgrandparents. “Despite their age, veteran is certainly not a word out of reach given their credits and that they’ve been touring together for almost a decade. Together as The Abrams Brothers for more than 10 years, the band became the youngest Canadians to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. In 2005, they were named Emerging Artist of the Year at the Canadian Bluegrass Music Awards,” said Wendt. Wendt said the biggest show of the year will be on stage Friday, April 11, 2014 with The Voca People. “The Voca People is a new international vocal theater performance that combines eight talented musician-actors with amazing vocal sounds and acappella singing with the art of modern beat-box which imitates the sounds of drums, trumpets, guitars and other instruments and musical effects without using any musical instruments on stage, performed in a humoristic way and with audience participation,” said Wendt. “They are considered to be the best performers in their field.

“It will be an evening of total excitement, music of all times, comedy and audience participation. After a millennium of space travel, The Voca People, are finally landing on the unfamiliar planet Earth, sadly discovering that their precious spaceship charger — musical energy — has completely emptied. Slowly, The Voca People learn about the strange inhabitants, habits and music of planet Earth, and with the help of the audience, musically energize their unique spaceship,” said Wendt. “The going price for a ticket on The Voca People tour is over $80 at most venues and we are offering it as part of our series, which makes the ticket price only $15 when you buy a season ticket,” said Wendt. Beach Party Boys will finish the season Saturday, May 17, 2014. “They reproduce the authentic look, vocal harmony and instrumentation of the Beach Boys themselves and there will be plenty of ‘good vibrations’ as this is a fun and interactive show where you will find yourself singing along to songs like ‘Surfin’ Safari,’ ‘Little Deuce Coupe,’ ‘Dance Dance Dance,’ ‘409,’ ‘Shut Down,’ ‘California Girls,’ ‘GTO,’ ‘Surfer Girl,’ and ‘Kokomo,’ ” Wendt said. After Aug. 30, tickets for each of the six shows will go on sale for $35 each, available at The Flour Sack in advance or at the door the night of the performance. “We have a limited number of tickets to sell, so don’t hesitate,” Wendt said.

the cultural heritage of East European countries through authentic costuming, folk music and traditional dancing. Every year college students from around the globe audition for an opportunity to perform with the renowned troupe and earn scholarships to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pa. The hard work and dedication of this troupe was evident in the outstanding program, which was attended by more than 100 members of various North Woods communities. The show alternated between women’s singing and dancing ensembles, men’s musical numbers and couples dancing. At times the stage was filled with 20-plus performers, making it nearly impos-

sible to take it all in. Frenzied musical harmonies coupled with melodic voices and spirited dancers engaged the audience in a multicultural experience for nearly two hours. The vocals were extraordinary, with songs sung in various languages while the dancers completed intricate dance steps for 20 songs. The audience was transported into another time and place. While I didn’t understand any of the foreign lyrics, I could sense the emotions of the performers as they sang a joyful song of celebration or a mournful tune of loss and sadness. The Slovakian Potter’s Dance during the second half was one of my favorite performances. The women’s dance ensemble movements represented clay being molded by the potters. The women’s costumes consisted of white peasant blouses and white scarves in their hair, contrasted by full skirts in every color of the rainbow. It was interesting to discover that the music of Greece, Ukraine and Macedonia had a quality similar to that of a mariachi band. Several of the Hungarian dances reminded me of Irish dancers wearing soft leather slippers padding across the stage, and at other times like the cloggers stomping the

beat with booming steps. The athleticism of the men’s dance ensemble was especially remarkable as they performed traditional Russian dances consisting of rapid leg movements while hovering so low to the ground. The finale was spectacular with 12 couples performing precise movements, in boldly colored gemstone costumes decorated with glittering gold bangles to punctuate every motion with jingling sounds. The crowd rose with hearty applause and cheered as the performers paraded across the stage in synchronized steps. If you missed this extravaganza, seize the opportunity to experience the Tamburitzans’ performance at next year’s Three Lakes School/ Community Arts event.

Freedom 5K Fun Run raises $4,200 The ninth annual Freedom 5K Fun Run was held June 30 in St. Germain. The event was started in 2005 as an effort to raise money for the new St. Germain Bike and Hike Trail. Earlier this week, race officials presented a check to the Bike and Hike Committee in the amount of $4,200, bringing the nine year total to $24,582. Funds raised in this year’s event will be used for maintenance and future improvements of the 12-mile, familyfriendly paved trail. The trail runs throughout St. Germain and connects bicyclists and pedestrians with an additional 15 miles of trails to the Sayner and Boulder Junction areas. This year’s race brought 207 participants in the 5K run, including runners from all across the United States. The top male finisher was Devin Sauvola of Eagle River, with a time of 17 minutes. The first female across the finish line was Dana Steffen of Greenfield, finishing in 19 minutes, 24 seconds. Fifty-four participants ran

Volunteers protect water quality in lakes with help of DNR grants The St. Germain Town Board held a meeting Aug. 12, where water quality on St. Germain lakes was discussed. According to Chuck Thier, chairman of St. Germain’s Lakes Committee, over the last three years grants from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) funded 75% of lake projects with the lake associations or districts providing the balance of 25%. The projects used volunteer hours representing dollars for the 25% balance and included inspections at boat landings and invasive plant monitoring. Volunteers exceeded the requirements with 2198 hours in each grant-required category, where only 1206 hours were needed. Volunteers also performed 1320 hours of boat inspections while only 362 were required, and exceeded the lake monitoring hours required by 28 hours. “I am very proud of the vol-

unteers. Our lakes are vitally important to our economy and the quality of life we enjoy in the North Woods,” said Thier. Lakes involved in the grants included Big Saint Germain, Lake Content, Fawn, Alma, Moon, Lost and Found Lakes. Thier reported, “Little Saint Germain Lake was not involved in the project because it has its own DNR grant to control Eurasian Water Milfoil and Curly Leafed Pond Weed.” Also discussed was installation of an additional sign at the DNR Found Lake boat landing. The DNR allots only one DNR sign regarding Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) at each boat landing. “We found out that such a sign could be placed on town property along Kleepe Road, adjacent to the landing,” said Thier. “And with the help of the town crew we measured and installed a two-sided sign on town property.”

The sign aims to reinforce the education process that St. Germain Lakes Committee feels is necessary to motivate boaters to take responsibility for stopping AIS transmission. The lakes committee plans to continue the educational process by placing ‘Clean Boats - Clean Waters’ stickers on bait containers, bar coasters and restaurant place mats. Found Lake Association and the other taxing lake districts in St. Germain township also belong to Vilas County Lakes and Rivers Association, an organization intent on education and research of water related issues. The next meeting of the St. Germain Lakes Committee will be held in October with the date yet to be posted. “I would like to personally challenge lakes residents to become more involved in protecting our invaluable lake and river resources and to come up with new ideas for protecting the lakes,” added Thier.

Fish and wildlife club honors Steve Pulec Bob Schell, president of the Sayner-St. Germain Fish and Wildlife Club, introduced Steve Pulec of the New Twilight Bar and Grill at the club’s annual chicken dinner picnic at the St. Germain community pavilion Aug. 22. Schell, referring to Pulec, said, “Over the years Steve has generously given organizations in the community and the Fish and Wildlife Club thousands of dollars. “This year was no different as Steve gave the club another $1,000 check, as well as paying for the chickens and groceries needed to put on this picnic. “Whenever Steve would give me a check for the club, he would say, ‘This is for my favorite ‘save a duck’ club.” The comment was met with laughter and applause. Schell continued, “We are awarding Steve Pulec with a plaque of appreciation for all the support he has given this club, and in honor of his description, we had a duck and the phrase, ‘My favorite save a duck club’ engraved on it.” Schell indicated that there were 75 tickets sold for chicken dinners and that this was the most well-attended annual picnic in the club’s history. The club raises funds which it distributes to organizations and scholarships

LIFESTYLE Mammography, bone density screenings set at Marshfield Clinic Eagle River Marshfield Clinic will offer mobile mammography and bone density screenings Thursday, Sept. 5, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the clinic located at 500 Commerce Loop in Eagle River. Mammography screenings will feature one-on-one sessions with licensed and certified female technicians from Marshfield Clinic, who will conduct a thorough medical history and answer questions. According to mobile services manager Myron Gadke, the unit delivers state-of-theart breast cancer and bone density screenings monthly to rural Wisconsin residents who otherwise would not have easy access to the ser-vices. “Providing that type of critical access to mammograms could save lives,” said Jake Miller, media relations specialist for Marshfield Clinic. For the past two decades, national breast cancer death rates have dropped, possibly due to earlier disease detection and improved treatment options. More than 230,000 women in the United States were expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, an American Cancer Society report said. “Screening mammography is important because it’s the

first line of defense in the fight against breast cancer. Early detection is the key to successful treatment,” said Gadke. “Marshfield Clinic believes it’s important to provide mobile mammography services because many women we see would not have access close to home to mammograms or bone density screenings.” According to Gadke, the units feature equipment that allows for the best possible image, less patient discomfort and efficient data transfer to physicians across the clinic system, which leads to faster mammography exam interpretation. The newest unit also provides bone density screening for osteoporosis. For patients with health insurance or Medicare, the mammogram costs will be billed to their health insurance provider. For financial assistance for a screening mammogram, contact the Marshfield Clinic patient assistance staff at (715) 389-4475. Advance appointments are required. To scheduled an appointment, call (715) 479-0400. Those interested in receiving a bone density screenings should contact their provider to determine their eligibility

Time to support the grouse habitat experts GROUSE FEVER is in the air this week, less than three weeks from opening day of the fall hunt and the traditional time for the Ruffed Grouse Society’s (RGS) fund-raising banquet in St. Germain. Local volunteers, many of them avid upland hunters, will stage the Chain O’ Lakes Chapter’s seventh annual Sportsmen’s Banquet this Thursday at Whitetail Inn. Whether you hunt or not, the event is vital to maintaining the young forest habitat that this elusive game bird and many other wildlife species need to survive. The funds and moral support will help RGS continue its work on several fronts, from educating public land managers about the importance of managed forests for wildlife habitat to the organization’s own in-the-field projects. One of the organization’s biggest lobbying targets is the U. S. Forest Service, which is being educated and pressured to increase timber management of species such as aspen — a tree that can only regenerate through clear-cutting. In the name of biodiver-sity and true multiple use management, RGS biologists show the federal agency that even passive

In the Outdoors By Kurt Krueger forest management means the death of aspen. Thousands of acres of this vital habitat have been lost through natural regeneration — aging stands eventually replaced by maple and other hardwoods as mature aspen trees provide too much shade to the forest floor. The chapter’s dinner banquet, for which tickets are still available, has all the fixings of a fundraising event — door prizes, raffles, limited-edition prints and carvings, a silent auction, and of course, guns. You can call Dan Anderson of Eagle River at (715) 479-8511 for a last-minute ticket. It’s a great time to share some stories from hunting seasons past and talk about dogs, guns, ammunition and equipment with those rare individuals who take chase of grouse every fall. Just as important, you will be supporting the wildlife conserva-

It takes active timber management, especially clear-cutting, to regenerate aspen stands because the species requires full sunlight to sprout.

tion group that has the most difficult mission of any organization in the nation — getting people to understand the need to cut trees to create habitats required by ruffed grouse, American woodcock, golden-winged warbler and so many other species. As one of the nation’s most respected conservation groups, RGS and its professional biologists have won the ear of many public land managers. As an example, RGS coordinating biologist Gary Zimmer of Wabeno was recently appointed to serve on Wisconsin’s Natural Resources Board. Among other things, he will be the expert advocating for sustainable ways to manage state forests. Last year, Dan Dessecker, RGS director of conservation policy, was appointed by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the National Forest System Land Management Planning Rule Implementation Committee. The committee is charged with helping the U.S. Forest Service more effectively and efficiently craft land and resource management plans for our national forests. Last time the plan was updated in Wisconsin, it took eight years and resulted in major delays in forest management such as timber harvesting. In the North Woods, RGS recently helped encourage the Forest Service to restart active vegetation management on numerous young forest habitats — part of an old partnership that had fallen by the wayside in recent decades. Increased timber harvests aimed at uneven-aged forest habitat are now scheduled on ruffed grouse habitat areas such as Scott Lake in Three Lakes and McDonald Creek east of Eagle River. Kimball Creek should be next. For the past nine years, RGS volunteers from Green Bay, the Fox Valley and the North Woods have gathered on the national forest east of here for workdays,

cleaning and mowing game trails used by wildlife and hunters. Using special brush-cutting machinery acquired by RGS, there is also an ongoing cost-sharing partnership between the two entities that targets the regeneration of alder and aspen in designated wildlife openings that have become over grown. Mike Zagata, RGS executive director and CEO, said the organization has contributed more than $650,000 to fund 90 projects in 40 counties since 1985. Established 52 years ago, RGS is the one international wildlife conservation organization dedicated to promoting a balance between old-growth forest, long-lived hardwoods and young successional forest types.

Anglers encouraged to register muskies in 50th annual Marathon The 2013 Vilas County Musky Marathon has registered some nice fish to celebrate its 50th year, according to Janet Christianson of the Vilas County Tourism & Publicity Department. “We encourage any angler releasing a muskie caught in Vilas County waters to be a part of the 50th year of this very special event,” said Christensen. The Vilas County Musky Marathon, which runs the entire muskie season, is a way for anglers fishing Vilas County waters to register any muskie caught and released from Vilas County waters and be eligible for prizes, drawing prizes and plaques. Open to anglers of all ages and abilities, Christianson reminds anglers the Marathon runs through Nov. 30 and there is no fee to register a muskie. “This year, all released muskies, of any length, are eligible to be registered as a muskie of any length is a fight on the line and the Marathon wants to recognize both the angler and the ‘North Woods monster,’ and four divisions — men’s, women’s, youth (aged 15 and younger) and guides — provide registration opportunities for all anglers,” said Christianson. Whether fishing specifically for the muskie or catching one by accident while fishing for other species, anglers are encouraged to register their released muskie as soon as possible. In addition to receiving a certificate, pin and a Marathon prize, registrants also are eligible for additional prizes distributed throughout the Marathon such as prizes to every 10th and 100th registrant in each division as well as drawing prizes at the Marathon’s conclusion. Registration details are available on posters at registration stations or online at vilas.org.

There is a long list of other wildlife species, including rare songbirds, that rely on young forest habitat. The northern goshawk that feeds primarily on grouse can’t survive here without clearcuts and the early successional forest types they promote. The scribbler is a fan and promoter of RGS not only because of a personal passion for chasing grouse, but because the organization is working hard to prevent our national forests from becoming stagnant, unproductive forests. It is only through responsible, sustainable tree cutting that we can achieve healthy forests and the right balance of wildlife habitat. That’s the message RGS delivers to the nation.

Here we go, back into mid-summer weather conditions with heat and humidity. Expect the water temperatures to rise quickly with the high air temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s last weekend. We’ll probably see a lot of people this weekend enjoying water sports one last time for the summer, so it will be busy out there on Labor Day weekend. It’s hard to predict what the overall effect of this hot weather will have on the fishing. In general, warm fronts in the fall are not good for the fishing. Even with the recent warmth, weeds have started dying in the shallower water. The water levels have declined a little from the early summer highs, but not as bad as last year.

OUTDOORS It’s time to plan for Learn to Hunt events: DNR Fall is a few short weeks away and now is the time for people to be thinking about how to fit a Learn to Hunt opportunity into busy fall schedules. Conducting a Learn to Hunt program is a way to introduce a novice to their first hunt, according to Keith Warnke, mentored hunting coordinator for the Department of Natural Resources

(DNR). “Maybe your neighbor down the block is interested or what about your children’s friends?” says Warnke. “There are many ways to foster new hunting experiences, and now is the time to start planning. “Get to your club or chapter and start brainstorming about how you can build on what you did last year, or start something entirely new. Can

you reach out beyond the regular hunting ‘choir’ to introduce someone new? Someone who would not get the chance to hunt any other way? That will really go a long way to making a new hunter,” said Warnke. People can also design their own unique learn to hunt. They could set up a family learn-to-hunt outing that focuses on bringing the whole

family out to the field and sharing our tradition and knowledge with them, Warnke says Sponsors of Learn to Hunt pheasant programs can get free pheasants from the DNR game farm for the event. For more information on all Learn to Hunt needs, go to the DNR home page at dnr.wi.gov and search keyword “LTH.”

DNR proposes stocking increase for pheasants The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) plans to release 75,000 pheasants on 92 public properties across the state in 2013. These stocking levels are up from 54,000 pheasants released on 70 public properties in 2012. “The additional properties stocked this year will allow hunters to explore and find success on properties they may not have hunted in the past,” said Bob Nack, DNR Poynette game farm manager. “There’s certainly something special about a fall pheasant hunt, and being able to expand opportunities for our pheasant hunters is very exciting.” The pheasant stocking program is largely supported by pheasant hunters through the purchase of pheasant stamps, according to Nack. “Being able to increase stocking levels translates directly into more recreational opportunities for the hunters who support the program,” said Nack. The department will be releasing pheasants on 22 new properties in traditional pheasant range. In addition to the new properties, most properties stocked in the past will see increases in the number of pheasants released. “By stocking this way, we are aiming to evenly distribute hunting pressure on public hunting grounds while also providing opportunities in new areas that can support the birds and are accessible to urban residents,” said Scott Walter, DNR upland game bird specialist.

Of the 22 new properties, 14 are located in southern Wisconsin, seven in eastern Wisconsin and one in northwestern Wisconsin. Properties were selected based on the amount of pheasant hunting cover and proximity to large population centers. A 2013 stocking information sheet and property maps can be found by visiting the DNR’s web site and searching keywords “pheasant stocking.” “We are excited about the increase in pheasant production and look forward to an exciting fall pheasant hunting season,” said Dr. Vic Connors, Friends of Poynette Game Farm president. The department partners with Friends of Poynette Game Farm, a nonprofit group dedicated to supporting quality pheasant hunting opportunities through a stocking program. To further increase hunting opportunities, the DNR also cooperates with conservation clubs enrolled in the Cooperative Day-old Chick Program. Through the program, the conservation clubs raise the pheasant chicks and then release them on local public hunting grounds and private lands open to public pheasant hunting. In 2013, the department provided 36,250 rooster chicks to 34 clubs. The list of private lands open to pheasant hunting is available by calling the Poynette game farm office at (608) 635-8120, after Oct. 1. The 2013 pheasant hunting season runs from noon, Oct. 19 to Dec. 31.

OUTDOORS

More walleyes on target for lake stocking this fall State fish hatcheries have finished stocking the first of two waves of walleye to go out this year and the number of fish stocked far surpassed original estimates, state fisheries officials say. Four state fish hatcheries equipped to grow cool-water fish such as walleye and muskie sent more than 2.3 million walleye out the door earlier this summer, 560,000 fish more than originally expected. These fish were 1 to 3 inches long when they were transferred into their new homes. They are the small fingerlings that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has traditionally stocked the most of because growing the fish to the “large fingerling” size of 4 to 7 inches would cost significantly more and exceed hatchery capacity, according to Mike Staggs, DNR fisheries director. This year is different. In September and October, the DNR will be stocking hundreds of thousands of the large fingerlings, made possible by the recently passed state budget that provided DNR more money to produce and procure larger size walleye for stocking. Normally, the DNR would stock 3 to 4 million smaller walleye and 60,000 to 70,000 of the larger fingerling walleye. But the Wisconsin Walleye Initiative allows DNR to hold back more fish instead of stocking them at the smaller size and give them extra growing time. As a result, the DNR will be stocking more than 400,000 larger fingerling walleye this fall and will be planning to produce and stock even more in coming years. “The fantastic walleye production our hatcheries had so far has not only allowed us to stock more lakes with small fingerlings, but is now giving us a chance to stock as many large fingerlings as we can this fall,” Staggs said. The Wisconsin Walleye

Initiative developed by the DNR and Gov. Scott Walker aims to improve walleye populations statewide by producing more larger walleye for stocking in waters where it can improve walleye fishing. “We’d like to thank Governor Walker for supporting this initiative,” said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp. “Stocking plays an important role in maintaining our state’s walleye populations, and we think this initiative will help improve walleye fishing in Wisconsin.” Research shows the best walleye fisheries are universally self-sustaining through natural reproduction and produce populations two to three times higher than those waters stocked even at the highest levels. But stocking more of the larger fish is also the quickest way to increase walleye populations on the broadest scale. Recent research in northern Wisconsin lakes shows that the larger stocked fish survive better. Stagg says the DNR is mobilizing to put the Walleye Initiative funding,

available July 1, to work. Production of the larger walleye fingerlings at state hatcheries has increased, and DNR is drafting the rules and contracts that will allow the agency to buy walleye from private fish farms and provide competitive grants to build the capacity of tribal, municipal and private hatcheries to produce larger walleye for stocking as well, he says. The smaller walleye fingerlings stocked earlier this summer in Wisconsin waters were hatched in May and raised in outdoor ponds at Lake Mills Hatchery, Art Oehmcke Hatchery in Woodruff, Gov. Tommy G. Thompson Hatchery in Spooner and the Winding Creek rearing ponds. Lake Mills had its best production year ever, producing a total of 1,570,633 small fingerling walleyes, well up from the 1.1 million fish they expected to produce, said Jesse Landwehr, pond foreman. He says the banner production year reflects some of the tweaks he and staff have been making to their

propagation process over the years to improve it, and to ideal weather conditions when DNR staff drained the ponds to collect the fish to place in stocking trucks. Overcast, cooler conditions meant the fish were less stressed when they were caught in the nets and placed in the trucks, allowing better survival. Landwehr says the Lake Mills Hatchery was not only able to meet the “quotas” or requests they were responsible for meeting for stocked fish, but had surplus fish they were able to feed into the propagation system. Ultimately, that meant more waters got more fish, and that stocking trucks in some cases didn’t have to travel as far, saving gas money and staff time. The banner production year also meant that Lake Mills had enough fish that for the first time, they could hold some of the small fingerling walleye longer to experiment with growing them larger on artificial fish food. They also were able to supply local cooperators the small fingerlings so the cooperators could raise those fish to the larger size. That means that the Lake Mills Hatchery is joining the three other facilities in raising more large walleye for stocking in the fall under the Wisconsin Walleye Initiative. Landwehr says the walleye growing now in outside ponds and also in tanks inside would be stocked out early in October at the large fingerling size. Staggs says DNR fisheries staff and partners have done a great job in getting the walleye initiative rolling and encourages anglers and others to follow major developments through the Wisconsin Walleye Initiative web pages. “Because of the late notice, things are hectic but we’ll produce and procure as many large fingerlings as we can and stock them in as many lakes as we can,” he said.

Operation Deer Watch under way across state In an ongoing effort to include public input in deer management, and to effectively monitor and evaluate Wisconsin’s deer herd, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is continuing its annual citizen-science survey Operation Deer Watch. This collaboration of data from the public, along with deer observations collected by DNR staff, provides insight on the reproductive status of Wisconsin’s deer herd in 2013. The number of does, bucks and fawns seen are indicators of annual deer herd production. “This is a fun and useful opportunity for the public to be the daily eyes and ears for the deer herd in their area.” said Brian Dhuey, DNR surveys coordinator. “Citizens annually provide thousands of observations that the department utilizes in monitoring the herd.” To get involved, people can record all bucks, does and fawns seen between dawn and dusk during the period of Aug. 1 to Sept. 30. Daily observations can be tracked using a tally sheet that is available at dnr.wi.gov,

search keywords “deer watch.” Observations can be submitted at the same web site. “This year, 14,000 deer hunters were selected at random and sent a letter inviting them to participate in Operation Deer Watch,” said Dhuey. “However, if you were not one of the hunters selected to participate, we still encourage your participation to help provide insight into Wisconsin’s deer herd.” For more information, videos and results of previous years, visit the DNR website.

VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS

OUTDOORS Early Canada goose season opens Sept. 1 With cooler nights and Labor Day approaching, hunters may be thinking about the first fall hunting seasons, including early Canada goose and mourning dove seasons. The early Canada goose season in Wisconsin runs Sept. 1-15 statewide. The dove season runs Sept. 1 to Nov. 9 statewide. The early Canada goose season, with a more liberal bag limit than the regular season, is allowed by federal rules due to the growth of local giant Canada goose populations. During the spring waterfowl survey, Wisconsin’s resident breeding goose population estimate was 138,925. The early season harvest last fall was estimated at 21,302 and makes up roughly one-third of the total annual Canada goose harvest in Wisconsin. “The early season provides additional recreational opportunities for our goose hunters and directs harvest pressure toward these locally nesting geese,” said Kent Van Horn, migratory game bird ecologist for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The early season daily bag limit is five birds. In addition to the standard small game hunting license and state and federal waterfowl stamps, participation requires a $3 early

Hunters will take to the fields, marshes and lakes starting this Sunday for the early Canada goose hunt. —STAFF PHOTO

Canada goose permit and the federal Harvest Information Program (HIP) certification. Registering for HIP is free and can be done at any DNR Service Center or licensing sales agent. There are no zones or subzones during the early season. The hunt is statewide regardless of what area hunters may hold a permit for during the regular goose season. In addition to slitting the date of harvest on their permit, hunters must register their harvest within 48

hours by calling 1-(800) 99GOOSE (994-6673). “Canada goose feeding and loafing areas can be very different in September than later in the fall and resident geese often change feeding and movement this time of year,” Van Horn said. “Continued scouting is important during these early hunts, when crop harvest and bird patterns can often change abruptly.” For more information on Canada geese, visit dnr.wi.gov.

Mourning dove hunt Mourning doves are the most abundant game bird in North America, with populations slowly growing. “Dove hunting is a great way to introduce new hunters to bird hunting,” said Van Horn. “It’s one of the earliest game bird seasons to open, so weather is generally mild, access to hunting spots is generally easier and you don’t have to head out too early to have good opportunities.” On average, about 10,000 to 15,000 Wisconsin hunters harvest 100,000 to 200,000 mourning doves each year. “As with Canada geese, mourning dove hunters should benefit from scouting to see where birds are flying as they move between roosts, water and feeding areas,” said Van Horn. Like with goose hunters, dove hunters must also be HIP-certified to be in compliance with state and federal law. “The national HIP registry allows biologists to select hunters to receive mail surveys in order to collect information about important harvest information and participation,” said Van Horn. Information on dove hunting and public lands opportunities can be found at dnr.wi.gov.

Coach Brian Fritz said he knew there would be a learning curve this year after losing 90% of the team’s offensive and defensive production to graduation. “To me, this first game was not that big of a surprise,” he said. “I think we will be a team that improves the whole year. Our young talent needs to gain more experience and our team needs to establish its roles.” Other than suffering from some rookie mistakes, Fritz said he was happy with how the team performed. “Our two quarterbacks played well for their first time leading the group,” he said. Gavin Maney scored two touchdowns and Mitch Raatz had some nice runs for the team, he said. The defensive line also played remarkably well, according to the coach. “Justin Ertz, Andrew Vought and Hunter Raatz controlled the middle of the field,” he said. “Our issues were in the defensive backfield where every player was new. “We will adjust some things this week after watching film and I’m confident that the group will improve,” said Fritz.

As I was checking out the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association’s (WIAA) website this week, I noticed an interesting article about high school sports participation being an all-time high nationally. Participation in high school sports nationwide increased for the 24th consecutive year in 2012-’13 and passed the 7.7 million mark for the first time, according to the annual High School Athletics Participation Survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations. An additional 15,190 girls participated in high school sports last year, moving the girls all-time record to 3.22 million and marking the 24th consecutive year for an increase in the number of female participants. After its first decrease in 20 years last year, boys participation started on the upswing again with an additional 5,867 participants. “While we recognize that many schools are experiencing challenges with funding high school sports programs, we are encouraged that schools are responding to the challenges and that more and more students are involved in high school sports,” said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director. “Playing sports within the school setting continues to be the desire of more than 55% of students enrolled in our nation’s high schools.” Eight of the top 10 girls sports registered increases in participation in 2012-’13, led by competitive spirit squads (8,201), outdoor track and field (4,172), and swimming and diving (3,536). Lacrosse, cross country, volleyball, soccer and tennis also had additional female participants, while basketball and fast-pitch softball had minor declines. It should be noted that Northland Pines, Three Lakes and Phelps, the high school sports programs that this newspaper covers, do not offer swimming and diving, lacrosse or tennis. Pines has a spirit squad. Five of the top 10 boys sports showed increases in participation, led by outdoor track and field (5,044), swimming and diving (4,354), and basketball (3,387). Cross country and baseball also registered gains among top 10 sports. Eleven-player football remains the top sport for boys with 1,086,627 participants in 2012-’13, although the number of players has decreased slightly each of the past four years. In terms of combined participation, track and field, and swimming and diving registered the best overall gains. Track and field had an increase of more than 9,100 participants when combining girls and boys, while swimming and diving was up almost 8,000 participants. The top 10 states by participants remained in the same order as last year, with Texas and California topping the list with 798,333 and 777,545, respectively. The remainder of the top 10 was New York (389,475), Illinois (339,944), Ohio (327,919), Pennsylvania (315,492), Michigan (304,438), New Jersey (270,423), Florida (243,397) and Minnesota (230,421). Wisconsin ranked 14th (192,400). The participation survey has been compiled since 1971 by the NFHS through numbers it receives from its member associations.

Three Lakes’ coach Brian Fritz talked to some of his players on the sidelines during a break in the action.

The Northland Pines boys soccer team opened play last week by defeating Antigo, Seymour and Clintonville, including an 8-0 win over Antigo last Thursday to start Great Northern Conference (GNC) play. The Eagles got early goals from Stephen Chamberlain, David Zillmer, Sean McCormack and a pair from Chris Paez to build a 5-0 halftime lead. Rounding out the scoring were Ryon Ritzer, Nick Satterfield and Connor Cox. Two assists came from Nic Satran, while McCormack, Chamberlain, Carson Cox and Lukas Sergent each recorded one. Gabe Hartwig booked the shutout in the net for the Eagles by making three saves. The Eagles traveled to Mosinee Saturday, with their opening game against Seymour. The two teams battled back and forth for 34 minutes until Paez threaded a through ball to Satran. The ensuing shot by Satran was rejected by the keeper, but it came off his hands long enough for Satran to clean it up giving the Eagles a 1-0 lead which held up through the first half. In the second half, Chamberlain scored on a penalty kick to open up a 2-0 margin, but Seymour rallied back with a goal at the 70-minute mark. The Eagles were able to hold on for the 2-1 win, with Hartwig making eight saves. “They came at us with essentially four forwards in the last minutes of the game,” commented Pines’ coach Lar-

ry Favorite. “We were overrun for a while, but our midfielders provided enough help late in the game to keep them contained. Defenders Sean McCormack, Mitch Moline, Ryan Hom, Jacob Grosskopf, Conner Minx and Mason Hakes played pretty solid in the back today. They are improving nicely as a group.” Pines got the early jump on Clintonville in game two by jumping out to a 4-0 halftime lead. Levi Pruni was the catalyst with the first two goals, while Cox drilled in the third and fourth goals. Chamberlain assisted three of those goals, but it was good ball movement by the whole team which kept Clintonville on their heels most of the game, according to Favorite. Pruni got his hat-trick goal in the second half taking the score to 5-0. Hartwig finished with six saves for Pines. “I was really pleased with the mental toughness which the guys showed for 160 minutes of soccer today,” said Favorite about the double dual at Mosinee. “We didn’t have a problem with going flat, but rather played consistent, good soccer all day.” The Eagles, now 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the GNC, are scheduled to take on Rhinelander at 5 p.m. at Northland Pines on Tuesday of this week. The archrival Hodags also are 1-0 in the GNC by scoring a 6-0 victory at Mosinee. Pines will travel to Medford this Thursday, Aug. 29, for another GNC matchup starting at 5 p.m.

New Northland Pines High School volleyball coach Julie Smith will build the 2013 Eagles squad around eight returning letterwinners, though only three have extensive varsity experience. Smith replaces Margo Rogers-Anderson, who coached the Eagles for two seasons and is now the golf professional at the St. Germain Golf Club. The Eagles finished the season 12-19 overall last year, but placed last in the Great Northern Conference (GNC). Smith played two years at UW-Eau Claire, then transferred to UW-Madison and played for the Badgers. She has coached and helped develop the Northland Pines Middle School volleyball program for the past three years. The Eagles lost five starters from last year’s team due to graduation, including second-team allconference performer Carly Bohnen. Returning letterwinners for the Eagles include seniors Carly Ridderbusch, Jessica Roach, Samantha Johnston, Kailyn Hogenmiller and Mariah Lax; juniors Maddie Smith and Emily Saltenberger; and sophomore Makayla Hayes. Ridderbusch, Hogenmiller and Maddie Smith saw a lot of action at the varsity level last year. Coach Smith gave a review of the top players and their talents: Maddie Smith, strong all around player; Ridderbusch, strong right

side hitter/blocker; Lax and Christine John, team’s best setters; Saltenberger, strong middle blocker; Hogenmiller, defensive and serving specialist; and Hayes, outside hitter and middle blocker. “Other key players who will play a role on the team include: Tess Osiecki, Lexi Smith, Brittany Pockat, Jessica Roach and Samantha Johnston,” said Smith. “They will rotate in where needed.” Coach Smith said the team’s strengths include overall height and quickness, serving, and strong blocking all around. But early in the season, defense is a concern for the coach. “We will be spending lots

of practice time on our serve receive, court positioning and defensive coverage,” she said. Helping Smith develop the team will be Holly Luesink, who is in her second year as junior varsity coach; Amy Baumetz, firstyear coach for the C-team and a recent graduate and volleyball player from Bethel College; and Steve Prahl, a part- time setter consultant who previously coached at Lakeland Union High School. Smith said the team’s goal is to be more competitive and pick up some wins in the GNC this season. “With improvement on

our weaknesses and learning to believe in ourselves, we look to be a strong competitor in this year’s conference play,” said Smith. “We have a lot of work ahead of us, but the coaches and the girls are excited to work hard and have a great season.” The Eagles had their first test of the season in a scrimmage at Lakeland last Saturday and will open play on Tuesday of this week in a tournament at Marshfield. Pines will travel to Crandon for a nonconference game this Thursday, Aug. 29, at 7 p.m. The Eagles first home game will be Thursday, Sept. 5, against Antigo.

Host Calumet Friday

Eagles use balanced attack to top Wittenberg-Birnamwood ___________ BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR

___________

The 2013 version of the Northland Pines football team started the season with a 50-22 victory over Wittenberg-Birnamwood in a nonconference game at Wittenberg Friday night. “This was a great way to start the season, obviously, and a confidence booster going into Calumet Friday,” said Pines coach Eric Swanson. “There are still a lot of things to work on, fundamental-wise, but overall, it was a great team win.” The Eagles had a balanced offensive attack, rushing for 248 yards and passing for 283 yards. Wittenberg-Birnamwood took an early 8-0 lead on a 38yard touchdown run and twopoint conversion in the first quarter. But Pines responded with seven consecutive touchdowns before the Chargers put any more points on the

board. The Eagles knotted the game at 8-8 on a 62-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Cooper Kerner to Sam Lacko, followed by the two-point version. Before the first-quarter ended, Pines went ahead 16-8 on a 1-yard touchdown run by John Puffer, followed by another two-point conversion. The Eagles got three touchdowns in the second quarter, building a 36-8 halftime lead. The first came on another 62-yard touchdown pass from Kerner to Lacko, followed by a 34-yard touchdown run by Lance Bontrager. The third score of the quarter came on a 75-yard pass from Kerner to Bontrager. Jon Konz kicked two of the three extra points. Pines made it 43-8 in the third quarter on a 32-yard touchdown pass from Kerner to Lacko and it become 50-8 when Ryan Ozelie scored on a 14-yard run in the fourth quarter. Konz kicked both

PATs. Wittenberg-Birnamwood got two fourth-quarter touchdowns, one on a 15-yard run and the second on a 35-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown. “Several players had good games, which is nice to see as I feel we are very balanced and have so many weapons this year,” said Swanson. “This is evident in the way we ran and passed the ball equally, for the most part.” Kerner had a big game, completing eight of 12 passes for 283 yards and four touchdowns. He also had 10 rushes for 51 yards. Lacko had six catches for 205 yards and three touchdowns. Bontrager finished with two catches for 78 yards and four rushes for 52 yards. He had two touchdowns. Wittenberg-Birnamwood finished the game with 197 total yards of offense, including 192 rushing and just 5 yards through the air.

“Defensively, we held Wittenberg-Birnamwood to 5 yards passing, which is a testament to how well our secondary played and the relentless pressure applied by the defensive line and backers,” said Swanson. “We do need to work on stopping the inside run, but we will get better every week.” Pines, 1-0 overall, will host Calumet, Mich., this Friday, Aug. 30, starting at 7 p.m. It is the annual Hall of Fame game where new inductees to the Eagle River/Northland Pines Athletic Hall of Fame will be introduced at halftime. It is the first WestPAC game of the season for the Eagles. Last year the Eagles beat Calumet 30-28 on a 28-yard field goal by Alex Kornely with six seconds remaining in the game. “Overall, we have a great group of kids willing to work hard every week to be 10 after 9 p.m. That is the ultimate goal every Friday night,” said Swanson.

and Jacob Ribbe, and adding the assists were Wales and Mitch Campbell. The game against Wausau West was a confidence builder, according to the coach. Three Lakes came out a bit slow in the first half and was down 30 at halftime. “We missed a couple goal opportunities and let them win most of the balls,” said Wales. “At halftime, we talked about going after every ball and challenging on the defensive side of the ball.” Three Lakes kept up with Wausau West the entire second half, until they got a goal at the 35-minute mark to put the game out of reach. The Jays played hard against Kingsford, but didn’t have the legs to keep up in their third match in 24 hours. After seven minutes, the Jays were down 2-0. Over the next 72 minutes, they played to a 1-2 score. Kingsford scored a goal with one minute left in the match making it 5-1. “Although the Jays got down early, the team showed character and played Kingsford even for the next 72 minutes,” said the coach. “This tournament shows that we will be ready to challenge for our conference.” The lone goal in the match was by Jordan Wales, assisted by Taylor Gensler. “I was particularly happy with our ball movement,” said Wales. “Jacob and Ben Ribbe did a nice job in the center mid positions, controlling and distributing the ball well.” The Jays will host Peshtigo for a game Thursday, Aug. 29, at 5 p.m. before traveling to participate in a tournament at Northland Pines Saturday, Sept. 7, at 10 a.m.

Although the Three Lakes Bluejays soccer team lost three games in a season-opening tournament Friday and Saturday in Rhinelander, coach Jack Wales said the outlook is good for the team in its conference. The Jays lost 3-2 to Iron Mountain, Mich., 4-0 to the Division 1 Wausau West, and 5-1 to Kingsford, Mich. “This was a great opportunity to see where we are as a team,” said Wales. “We had nine players play competitive soccer this spring and summer and we have had very productive practices with great energy and positive attitudes.” The coach said his staff knew that the Jays had a tough draw for the tournament, and they needed to see how the team would react to the skill level and the size of the teams it faced. “Even though we lost all three matches, we were competitive and played some very good soccer,” said Wales. “As long as we stay healthy I believe that we will challenge for the top spot in our conference.” Against Iron Mountain, the Jays consistently strung passing combinations together and moved the ball well. “When we played Iron Mountain last year, we lost 80,” said the coach. “This shows the improvement of the team.” Playing without starting goalie Anthony Briggs, the team had Ben Ribbe fill in. He stopped 10 shots and kept the Jays in the game. “The coaching staff was very impressed with the defensive play of Mitch Campbell, a sophomore, who did a great job defending all weekend,” said Wales. Scoring the two goals for the Jays were Jordan Wales

Lundberg claims Pure Stock title at TNT Speedway ___________ BY JEREMY MAYO SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW

___________

The 2013 track championship in TNT Speedway’s Pure Stock division came down to one final restart. Tyler Lundberg of Rhinelander rallied from fifth to third with six laps remaining and held off John Johnson Sr. of Lac du Flambeau by three points to claim his first track championship Saturday at the Three Lakes bullring. Bruce Belland of Eagle Riv-

er and Louis Malluege of Merrill capped off championship efforts in the Dirt Track Series Midwest Modifieds and TNT Stingers, respectively, with feature victories. Tomahawk’s Derek Eberl officially claimed the Street Stock title while Jordan Kurtti of Bruce Crossing, Mich., Rhinelander’s Lance Rutledge and Rhinelander’s Cory Allen claimed feature wins in the Street Stocks, Pure Stocks and Trucks. Herb Dettman of Pelican Lake was cruising toward his

first Pure Stock feature victory when Frank Gasperini spun to bring out the caution with six laps remaining. Johnson was running second at the time of the caution, battling with Rutledge, Nate Langberg and Lundberg. Johnson trailed Lundberg by two points entering the feature after both won their heat races earlier in the evening, meaning Johnson could clinch at least a share of the title with a feature win. He tried to pass Dettman on the restart, but Dett-

man went low to block. Meanwhile, Rutledge took advantage of racing room on the high side of the track to pass both drivers for the lead. Lundberg, who started behind Rutledge in the third row, followed on the high line and got to third, in between Dettman and Johnson. Rutledge, Dettman and Lundberg put distance on Johnson in the closing laps. Lundberg, with the championship in sight, made sure not to force the issue and cruised home to a third-place finish,

capping off a strong August. He was 13 points behind Johnson entering the month, when he switched from the No. 98 to the No. 86. Lundberg won two features in August and never finished outside the top three. Friday’s feature almost did not end well for Lundberg, who started eighth. Trying to work his way up through the field on lap two, he got caught up in an incident when Tyler Musolff spun in front of him in turn one. Lundberg spun to the

Eight letterwinners to be on court for Lady Jays volleyball in 2013 ___________ BY ANTHONY DREW NEWS-REVIEW ASST. EDITOR

___________

Eight letterwinners will return to play for the Three Lakes High School volleyball team for the 2013 season. The players include Abby Zielke, Lindsay Schoff, Lexy Bellman, Maddie Lorbetske, Karlie Stefonik, Abbie Baumann, Bella Devereaux and Havi Snyder. New head coach Jayme Wyss expects Schoff to be a solid all-around player this year, while returning setter Baumann, powerhouse hitter Lorbetske, front middle player Zielke and libero Stefonik should be among the top players. “We’re a well-rounded team this year, and we’re able to cover all positions with aggressive players,” said Wyss. There are quite a few girls out for varsity volleyball this season, any there are a lot of seniors, according to the coach. “That means that while we have the numbers for scrimmaging, we will also have girls

ple of laps, but Lundberg’s car pushed in turn three, allowing Rutledge and Langberg to pass. They remained that way until Gasperini’s spin, which left Johnson one point ahead of Lundberg entering the final restart. That was the only championship that realistically hung in the balance Saturday. Thanks to running at TNT every week and a WISSOTA rule change that allows drivers to drop their worst night, Belland’s 11-point lead in the Midwest Modifieds and Eberl’s 25-point lead in the Street Stocks were all but insurmountable entering Saturday’s show. Belland finished off his third Midwest Modified championship at TNT in the last four years in style with a clean sweep of the heat and the feature. He took the lead on lap three of the main event and never looked back. Tad Schoonover, the 2013 points runner-up, finished second followed by a trio of Rhinelander drivers — Dennis Mikkelson, Dan Melton and Jeff McDonald. Jerry Grasse, who had won each time in his four previous starts at TNT, was breaking in

new gears on his No. 5 car, was never a factor and finished ninth. Kurtti finished off a perfect month of August at TNT with another feature victory, his fifth-consecutive in the Street Stocks. Kurtti only needed five laps to work from the fourth starting spot to the lead and cruised the final 10 laps to victory. Eberl officially claimed his first TNT track championship with a runner-up finish. Last year’s Street Stock track champion, Jeff Mullins, finished third. Malluege had only an eight-point advantage on Zach Degner entering the night, but because of a low car count, Malluege needed only to start the heat and the feature to claim the title. There will be no races at TNT Speedway Labor Day weekend. The drivers will return for one final show Saturday, Sept. 7. All five classes will compete in the annual Fall Special. In addition, there will be exhibition races for mechanics and women plus an awards party at the end of the night at TNR. Hot laps will start at 6:45 p.m, with racing at 7:15 p.m.

Spacek, Wojcik win features at Eagle River Speedway Two northwestern Wisconsin drivers made the long haul to Eagle River Speedway Tuesday night worthwhile, as Phillips’ Cole Spacek took the Midwest Modified feature and Ladysmith’s Doug Wojcik won the Street Stock feature in his first trip to Eagle River. For the second straight week, Spacek lost his heat race by a matter of inches. But in the feature, he worked his way through the field one driver at a time to try to catch Phillips’ Mickey Nosser. At the halfway point, Spacek was on the bumper of Nosser. On the 11th lap of the 20-lap feature, Spacek passed Nosser on the inside of the hairpin third turn, and never looked back. This was the 19-year-old first-year racer’s first feature win of the season. Wojcik had a much easier time earning his way to Auto Value victory lane. Wojcik took the lead in the second lap and ran away from the field. The race that the fans were watching was for the second spot between the current Street Stock points leader Jordan Kurtti of Bruce Crossing, Mich. and the driver who is second in the points, Eagle River’s Ryan Glembin. Kurtti held off Glembin to take second and

hold the points lead in the class with two races to go. The races were a part of the Kim Parsons Memorial Trophy Tour. Parsons passed away at 21 and was an organ and tissue donor. The tour is organized to get people to be organ and tissue donors. All of the feature winners received 4-foot trophies, and all the drivers in the Junior Sprints got a Kim Parsons Memorial Trophy. Another class that has a close battle for a points championship is the competitive Pure Stock class. Defending champion Ryan Valeria of Eagle River went into the night with a narrow points lead over Eagle River’s Don Scharf. Valeria made a point to expand his points lead by winning his heat race, then coming back to win the feature. In the feature, Tomahawk’s C.J. Hedges, who had only lost two features since starting to race at Eagle River Speedway in July, was unable to give Valeria a run to the finish. The final Tuesday night race of the season will take place Aug. 27, with the final race of the season being Sunday night, Sept. 1. The Sunday night race on Labor Day weekend will be the Zeke Jonas Memorial Race. As a part of that race, Eagle River Speedway will
