In 1940 the WPA (Work Project Administration) employed local men to build the
Lakewood Trout Rearing Station on the shores of John Lake just outside of Lakewood,
WI. Jesse Landwehr, WI Dept of Natural Resources Operations Supervisor, reports
that the station has turned out nearly 200,000 rainbow, brown and brook trout annually. These fish have been used to stock the waters of 16 counties across northern and
central WI.
The WDNR found itself facing financial constraints and were forced to close the facility in the Spring of 2011. Since then, only a portion of the areas stream quotas have
been fulfilled by other trout rearing facilities.
Now, new life is being breathed back into the station. A local group of concerned citizens have bonded to form the Northern Oconto County Trout Alliance (NOCTA) Their
sole mission is the reopening and the ongoing management of the Lakewood Trout
Rearing Station. The WDNR has agreed to work with NOCTA and train them in the skills necessary to raise trout through the summer months. The goal this ea is to raise 16,000 brookies, all of which will be planted in northern Oconto County waters this fall.
These efforts do not come without costs. It is estimated that $2,500 will be needed to purchase the feed. Fundraisers and donations
will be used to meet the expenses.
NOCTA is in need of help. We need volunteers to feed and oversee the fish throughout the summer months. The more individuals
we have to share in the work load the lighter it will be. If you are willing to give us 1-2 hours per week please let us know. The station is located at 14855 Hatchery Lane. (Cty F to Lake John Rd, then north to the Hatchery road entrance, Watch for the sign) Come
and help us get the facility ready for the soon to arrive fingerlings! I fyou have questions or desire for further information please
semail [email protected] or call Scott VanLaanen at 715-85-2904. If you would like to donate to the Alliance pleases
make it to the NOCTA and send it to the Lakewood Area Chamber of Commerce at P O Box 87, Lakewood, WI 54138.

This article is all about my Lady Rebels Summer Softball team. What a great group of
girls Ive been blessed with this year.
A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to attend a Timber Rattlers game. It was a great
day from start to finish. We went to the Fox River Mall for some fun shopping (they might
be tough softball players but they like to shop and so does their coach!). They all decided
to ride on these new motorized animals they have at the mall. They are all individual animals but these girls had a train going to one end of the mall to the other. The gentleman let
them ride long after their time was up because he told them they are the most fun group he
has ever had ride. Thats my girls!!
Then it was
off to the
Timber Rattlers game. As
we walked in,
the girls got
autographs and pictures taken with Carlos Leal- the
Timber Rattlers catcher. And little did they know I
made some special plans for them. Before the game,
a young lady took my girls to the sideline and told
them they are running out onto the field with the
players for the National Anthem. SURPRISE! When
the players ran to their positions, so did my girls, and
they proudly stood next to them for the National Anthem? Proudest moment since I have been a coach.
Shortly after, Kassidy Ashbeck was picked by an employee to do the Human Bowling Ball. Yes, you guesses it, she was rolled
out in a contraption to knock down some pins.
All my girls received t-shirts and some caught prizes thrown our way from
the dugout. It was one of the most memorable days Ive had as a coach,
and I hope its one of the best theyve had as my players.
Just a note to parents- get involved. It may get stressful but the rewards far
outweigh any negatives.
Make it a beautiful month and be kind to one another.

Warning. There is an affliction that pet owners and potential pet owners can catch when having a pet. It is incurable. There is no medications
or treatment for this affliction. What is this affliction? Unconditional
love. This affliction goes both ways too. What are the symptoms? A
smile to your face everytime you see them. Wanting to hold them
whenever the day is overwhelming. Taking them on roadtrips and seeing that they have all the comforts of home. Having them as part of the family.
What are their symptoms? Greeting you at
the door when you come home. Sitting by
your side when you finally sit for the evening. Being by you when you
are sick and just want to sleep. Listening to your troubles when no one
else is around to listen. Giving you that everlasting tail wag letting you
know that they love you.
Like I said, this affliction is incurable. All pet owners get it. If you are
thinking of getting a pet, you will get it too. Just go with it. These pets
are only with us for a short time. Give them that incurable love always.
They will do so also. I have to stop writing now. My pet is looking at me
upside down wanting a bellyrub. Good girl. Thanks for being there.
