Twenty-two teams, including Team Believers, raised more
than $70,000 for the American Cancer Society during the

The Northwoods Relay
For Life generated more
than $70,000 in net pro-
ceeds following the all-night
vigil Friday as participants
raised money to find a cure
for cancer and offered sup-
port to those battling the
disease.
The 2011 Relay, which
raises money to benefit the
American Cancer Society
(ACS), followed the simple
theme of Hope.
It was the hard work of
many volunteers that made
the North Woods event so
successful, according to
Relay coordinator Donna
Martens, who co-chaired the
event with Kathy Renkes.
As of Monday, the Relay
raised $70,102. Last year,
the Relay took in about
$5,000 after the event, so
topping the goal of $72,000
is likely in the next few
days.
We still have some
money coming in, so I dont
think we have anything to
be ashamed of, said
Martens on the 2011 total.
I think it went very
smooth. You know, we were
inspired by all the sur-
Relay raises over $70,000

Kim Simac of Eagle River,
the woman who led the recall
effort against state Sen. Jim
Holperin (D-Conover) last
winter, will face the first-term
senator in the recall election
next Tuesday, Aug. 16.
Simac, 52, a Tea Party ac-
tivist and small-business
owner, defeated Lincoln Coun-
ty Board Chairman Bob Lus-
sow in the Republican prima-
ry for the 12th Senate District
last month.
Holperin, 60, was one of 14
Democratic senators who
avoided a vote on Gov. Scott
Walkers budget repair bill
which took collective bargain-
ing rights away from most
public workers by leaving
the Senate floor and traveling
to Illinois in February.
Simac said that Holperin
leaving Wisconsin was an
abandonment of his duties as
senator.
I understand Jim Holperin
had strong objections to the
bill, but running away didnt
solve the problem; it just
made it worse, said Simac.
You cant negotiate if youre
not at the table of discussion.
For three weeks, Jim Holperin
left the 12th District without
a voice.
But Holperin said his leav-
ing was necessary to delay ac-
tion on the budget repair bill.
Contents of the legislation
were misrepresented, and
those affected by the measure
deserved to have time to learn
the truth and to make their
voices of opposition heard,
said Holperin. Also, time was
Holperin facing
Simac in recall
next Tuesday

Shooting: officer fired at cougar sounds
FROM PAGE 1A
sion on an investigation by the
Oneida County Sheriffs De-
partment. The district attorney
said the Vilas County Sheriffs
Department may take care of
any issues through its adminis-
trative process.
Meanwhile, Vilas County
Sheriff Frank Tomlanovich
said in a press release that the
matter remains under internal
review by the sheriffs office.
According to the sheriffs de-
partment, the investigation
showed that the victim, Peter-
sons niece, was playing a
prank on the officer involving a
threat to the officers safety.
The officer thought he was
being threatened by a cougar,
which was seen in the officers
yard earlier in the day, and he
shot the victim as a result of
the prank.
The niece, who was shot in
the hand and shoulder, appar-
ently hid in the woods and
played a YouTube clip of cougar
sounds while Peterson was tak-
ing his garbage out in the town
of Arbor Vitae that evening.
The niece was taken to the hos-
pital with a gunshot wound
that was nonlife-threatening,
authorities said.
Peterson told investigators
he brought his weapon with
him to take the garbage down
the driveway because he felt
uneasy about the animals
presence. His mother, who lives
in an adjacent residence, had
seen what she thought was a
cougar earlier in the day and
Peterson said he saw a cougar
in his yard earlier that night.
After he fired a shot and
heard a woman screaming, he
told investigators he was con-
vinced the cougar was attack-
ing another person.
Peterson submitted to a
breath test which showed he
had no alcohol in his system.
The niece stated she did not
want to press charges against
Peterson and said the entire in-
cident was her fault.

Oneida County residents
were generally against a zon-
ing proposal to strip special
protection for small lakes, and
the zoning committee voted
accordingly after a public
hearing on the matter last
Tuesday.
The Planning & Zoning
Committee voted unanimous-
ly 4-0 to keep the regulations
in place after hearing Oneida
residents were opposed to a
proposal to reduce minimum
lot width restrictions on lakes
of 50 acres or less, according
to Karl Jennrich, director of
the Planning & Zoning De-
partment.
The majority of the people
who were at the hearing were
in opposition to getting rid of
lake classifications, said Jen-
nrich. Basically, they shut
down getting rid of the lake
classification.
The extra protection for
smaller lakes was passed in
2000 as a part of a waterway
classification system designed
to restrict building volume on
smaller lakes, which were
deemed more sensitive to
overdevelopment.
The plan would have re-
duced minimum average wa-
terfront lot widths from 150
feet to 100 feet, riparian
frontage widths from 200 feet
to 100 feet and minimum lot
sizes from 50,000 square feet
to 20,000 square feet for sin-
gle-family dwellings.
Bob Martini talked for
about 15 minutes about why
these lakes need protection
and got into the science of the
differences between larger
lakes and smaller lakes, said
Jennrich.
One lake association and a
few lakefront property owners
were in favor of the proposed
changes, according to Jen-
nrich. But the majority of at-
tendees said theyd prefer to
have protection for smaller
lakes.
The Planning & Zoning
Committee has the right to
take a look at the issue again
at anytime, but Jennrich said
he didnt think it was likely.
I dont think its going to
get brought up again, but you
never know, he said. They
may take a look at it again as
a part of our comprehensive
rewrite.
But I think they did this
separately because once we go
back to work on a comprehen-
sive rewrite, we know the
public was in opposition to
getting rid of the lake classifi-
cation, said Jennrich.

The Rennes Group an-
nounced last week that con-
struction of its new 110-bed
nursing home in Rhinelander
will not begin until the spring
of 2012.
That means Lillian Kerr
Healthcare Center in Phelps
will continue to operate until
the opening of the new
Rhinelander facility. There
are currently about 80 people
employed at the Phelps facili-
ty.
Rennes Group, headquar-
tered in Peshtigo, took over
ownership of Lillian Kerr in
Phelps Nov. 1, 2010, and an-
nounced the company would
be moving the nursing home
to Rhinelander.
Rennes Group purchased
the nursing home from As-
pirus in Wausau, where hospi-
tal officials said they needed
to find a reputable buyer who
was willing to continue the
operation until a new facility
could be constructed.
The town of Phelps was of-
fered the Lillian Kerr facility
for $1 after the relocation
takes place, but declined fol-
lowing a vote of the electors at
a special town meeting.
Rennes officials said they
looked at moving the facility
to Eagle River, but found that
with a critical-care access hos-
pital, most patients had short-
term stays and many were
discharged to facilities in
Rhinelander.
The new Rennes facility,
which will have 64 beds for
skilled nursing home care pa-
tients, 35 beds for those who
need assisted living and an-
other 10 beds for other uses,
will be located at the intersec-
tion of the Highway 17 bypass
and Navajo in Rhinelander
near Wisconsin Public Ser-
vice.
Due to unexpected con-
struction and financing de-
lays, the construction of the
Rhinelander project is
planned to begin in the spring
of 2012, said a Rennes Group
official. The city of
Rhinelander applied for a
$170,000 community develop-
ment block grant to be used
for constructing part of the
street and related city utili-
ties for the facility.
Because it will be larger
than the Phelps facility,
Rennes officials said the
Rhinelander facility will offer
up to 120 jobs. Officials origi-
nally planned to open the new
Rhinelander nursing home in
the spring of 2012.

Play at the Eagle River Mu-
nicipal Golf Course for July in-
creased over last year and
brought the yearly revenue
total ahead of 2009, which was
a more typical year than
2010.
Course pro Brad Missling
gave that good news to the Golf
Course Advisory Committee
last week.
Our July sales total for
course play was $157,436,
which was an increase of
$6,224 over last year and
$13,521 over the more typical
2009, Missling said. For the
year to date, we have taken in
$388,672, which is about
$14,000 behind last year but
over $21,000 better than
2009.
Committee members were
pleased to hear the increased
revenue report.
This is impressive, said
Bill Lochte. We were looking
at a hole (in revenue) and it
looks like its been closed.
Missling indicated play on
the day of the committee meet-
ing, Aug. 4, the course had an
impressive 245 players. He
said he is running a Tuesday
and Wednesday special be-
tween 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
during which a person can golf
18 holes with a cart for $35.
Missling also said he is en-
couraged with the efforts to de-
velop a Special Olympics golf
tournament an idea
spawned by the special task
force to increase revenue.
We are looking to try a Spe-
cial Olympics tournament next
spring, he said. I want to
make it a statewide event and
will continue to work on this.
Course wish list
Ways to improve the visual
aesthetics of the course were
discussed by the committee, in-
cluding chain-saw carvings on
the front and back nine using
existing trees.
Grounds Superintendent
Ken Smith said the course lost
several trees in the recent
storm. He indicated a remain-
ing portion of a tree on number
16 might be a candidate. The
cost is $100 a foot, and there
would be a drawing to see how
the carving would fit into the
surroundings before a final de-
cision is made.
An eagle sculpture was sug-
gested for the clubhouse lawn
along with perennial flower
beds and new whiskey bar-
rels for flowers.
Committee member Ken
Biegel said they should en-
courage donations from
leagues, tournament, business-
es and individuals for special
projects on the course.
Were close to being a desti-
nation course, said Biegel.
My compliments on bringing
the greens back (from winter
kill). We need to keep dolling
the course up. If we could
beautify it enough, we could re-
ally make it a destination
course.
Biegel said the course is an
important part of the city.
Its a municipal course, so a
few members might criticize us
for improving a public course,
Biegel said, but he supported
making the course more pleas-
ing to the eye.
Other action
In other action, the commit-
tee:
recommended the city
council accept the high bid of
$3,200 from Champeny Con-
struction for the 1990 GMC
truck and 1992 Cushman
Truckster;
set employee evaluations
for Missling and Smith for
Sept. 1;
discussed the rain-
check policy that eliminated
the old electronic rain checks
to a more customer-friendly
policy; and
viewed a health inspec-
tion report concerning the
course restaurant that noted a
loose-fitting freezer door.

The culmination of a six-
year project, new aerial pho-
tography images for the entire
county are now available, ac-
cording to Barb Gibson, Vilas
County geographic informa-
tion system coordinator/land
information officer.
While many county depart-
ments use the images, Gibson
said the private sector also has
many uses for the aerial pho-
tography, from real estate to
recreation applications.
In the next few weeks, the
new aerial photography will be
available on the countys
WebMap Service, which may
be accessed at co.vilas.wi.us.
Before you head to your
cabin or your favorite hunting
lands in Vilas County, check
out the new imagery on the
website or stop in to the Land
Information office and order a
custom map with the new im-
agery for your cabin wall, said
Gibson.
In 2005, three regional
planning commissions coordi-
nated 35 counties and 100 ad-
ditional partners to acquire
aerial imagery and planimet-
ric data in the largest mapping
initiative in Wisconsins histo-
ry.
Vilas County participated in
the 2005 orthophoto flight pro-
gram which significantly re-
duced the cost of the imagery,
according to Gibson.
In 2008, seven regional
planning commissions came
together to develop the Wis-
consin Regional Orthophoto
Consortium (WROC) program.
By 2010, the consortium con-
sisted of 45 counties and ap-
proximately 70 cities, villages
and towns to capture digital
aerial imagery in a single year.
State and federal partners
contributed more than $1.1
million toward WROC projects
in 2010, according to the Wis-
consin State Cartographers
Office website.
Vilas County participated in
WROC to acquire digital, 12-
inch resolution, color, leaf-off
imagery at a reduced cost to
the county. The county funded
the 2010 project through re-
tained fees from recorded doc-
uments collected by the Regis-
ter of Deeds office through the
Wisconsin Land Information
Program. No county tax dol-
lars were used for this data ac-
quisition.
The imagery is very useful
for many mapping purposes,
said Gibson, noting the many
county offices that utilize the
ortho imagery for the benefit of
residents and visitors. The
sheriffs department uses the
ortho imagery for dispatching
emergency services as well as
surveillance operations before
entering potentially dangerous
situations.
Gibson said other county
departments utilizing the im-
ages include:
Emergency management
uses aerial photography for
disaster preparations and
damage assessment.
Economic development
uses the photos to observe the
changes in population clusters
in relation to general services.
The addressing coordina-
tor uses the orthophotos for as-
signing fire numbers for new
construction.
Zoning uses the high-res-
olution ortho imagery to deter-
mine the changes in shorelines
for possible ordinance viola-
tions, as well as observing
changes to structures around
the county.
For any questions regarding
these new aerial photography
images, contact Gibson at the
courthouse, located at 330
Court St. in Eagle River, or by

John Robert
Jack Banner,
age 90, beloved
husband of
Helen Patricia
(nee Murphy);
loving father of
Dennis Michael
(Susan), James
Daniel (Lau-
rell), John
Robert Banner Jr., Catherine
Kitty (Robert) Seemann and
Virginia Banner; proud grand-
father of Christopher (Jessica),
Shane and Britt Banner,
Michael and Corey Seemann,
Jacqueline and James Bowler,
Gina DeStefano and the late
Trey Banner; great-grandfa-
ther of James, Charlotte and
Matthew Banner; dear brother
of Marge (the late Edward)
Lessner and Rosemary (the
late James) Stanton.
Born on April 12, 1921, in
Chicago, the son of John L.
and Kitty Shannon. He was
the middle brother to Marge
and Rosemary.
He attended St. Benedicts
School and his beloved Jesuit
high school, Campion, in
Prairie du Chien, Wis.
He loved sports and ex-
celled in both football and bas-
ketball. Jack was awarded a
basketball scholarship to De-
Paul University, playing
against opponents like his life-
long friend, Ray Meyer.
Leaving school to enlist in
the U.S. Navy as Seaman First
Class during World War II, he
was selected by the Depart-
ment of the Navy to represent
them on the All Navy Basket-
ball Team, entertaining the
U.S. Forces in their bitter ri-
valries with the other services
and colleges throughout the
nation, playing with such men
as Chick Chigatti, who went
on to star with the Chicago
Bears football team and Gene
Baker, who later starred with
the Chicago Cubs baseball
team.
He served as president and
chairman of the board of the
Thomas B. Banner Boiler Co.
for more than 50 years. The
company, established in 1883,
built, repaired and serviced a
great portion of the high-pres-
sure boilers and equipment
running the finest hotels and
buildings of downtown Chica-
go.
One portion of these ser-
vices was to repair the ocean-
going ships unloading in the
port of Chicago. Boilermaker
and steamfitter crews would
leave with the ships and work
continually until repairs were
complete. The workmen and
their tools were trained by
railroad back to Chicago.
During the Depression, the
company was sometimes
forced to take ships in lieu of
payment. Both the T.B. Ban-
ner and the Spirit of
Saugatuck, 150-foot class ves-
sels, continued the operation
of transporting passengers
throughout the Lake Michi-
gan ports. As per tradition,
when no longer seaworthy,
they were towed far from
shore, burned and sunk.
Jack was fiercely proud of
his family, faith and Irish her-
itage. He had been devoutly
imbued with a generous and
sincere compassion for those
less fortunate than himself
and had a deep appreciation
for the good works spread by
the Daughters of Charity.
Jack never forgot the care
with which the nuns gave his
immigrant grandmother from
Ireland, and his mother and
aunt at the turn of the centu-
ry.
He dedicated a lifetime of
support to the work of the St.
Vincent de Paul Center in
downtown Chicago and served
as the center president of the
board of directors. Jack had
never seen such poverty be-
fore and soon became hooked
on the Daughters of Charity
and their good works.

A 29-year-old Lac du Flam-
beau man, who allegedly
pushed a teacher to the
ground in a public school, had
a plea/sentencing hearing ad-
journed in Vilas County Cir-
cuit Court last week.
Robin L. Soulier is charged
with battery to a school dis-
trict officer and disorderly
conduct. Vilas County circuit
Judge Neal A. Nielsen III set
Souliers plea/sentencing
hearing for Aug. 18 at 10:30
a.m. after he failed to appear
in court Aug. 1.
According to the complaint,
Soulier had an altercation
with a teacher at Lac du
Flambeau Public School.
Soulier, who was not to have
contact with his daughter, was
at the school Jan. 20 and at-
tempted to comfort her after
the child had been crying. The
teacher stepped between the
two, knowing Soulier was not
to have contact with the stu-
dent, and the teacher was al-
legedly pushed down to the
ground by Soulier.
According to court records,
the teacher declined medical
attention, but said she did feel
pain in her back.
In other felony cases, John
T. Allen, 18, of Lac du Flam-
beau, was sentenced to six
months in the Vilas County
Jail and was given 24 months
of probation after he pleaded
guilty to multiple charges in
Vilas County Circuit Court
last week, including misde-
meanor fleeing, possession of
marijuana, burglary to a
building or dwelling, party to a
crime, and operating a motor
vehicle without the owners
consent and criminal damage
to property, party to a crime.
According to court records,
Allen may serve his jail time
in Oneida County and can re-
ceive work-release privileges.
He also will receive credit for
113 days served.
Conditions of Allens proba-
tion include continuing Alco-
hol and Other Drug Abuse
counseling, not to possess or
consume intoxicants, no tav-
erns, random testing, and
maintain full-time employ-
ment or full-time schooling.
Allen also was found guilty of
driving while intoxicated and
was fined $870 and had his
drivers license suspended for
seven months. He must pay
$50 a month toward the fine
starting Sept. 1.
Jessie Castillo, 47, of Lac
du Flambeau, was sentenced
to one year in the Vilas Coun-
ty Jail and given three years
probation after he was con-
victed of fifth-offense operat-
ing a motor vehicle while in-
toxicated.
Castillo was originally
charged with seventh-offense
operating a motor vehicle
while intoxicated with a
minor child in the vehicle, but
the charge was amended.
Court records show he had a
blood alcohol level of .213
when he was arrested.
While his sentence was
withheld, Castillo also was
fined $3,000, had his drivers
license revoked for three
years, he must attend AODA
assessment, he is not to pos-
sess or consume intoxicants
and no taverns. He will re-
ceive credit for 458 days

Scott St. Germaine, 29, of
Lac du Flambeau, charged
with physical abuse of a child,
had a preliminary hearing in
Vilas County Circuit Court
last week. A $2,500 signature
bond was continued with con-
ditions. St. Germaine alleged-
ly hit a child in the face with
his hand after hitting the
child with a bottle of mouth-
wash and a pillow. He alleged-
ly had been drinking from
about 5 to 8 p.m. May 13 in
Lac du Flambeau when the
incident occurred.
St. Germaine told investi-
gators he had been watching
the kids all day long and they
were getting him stressed
out. He said they had been
getting into trouble all day
and were not listening to him.
He admitted to striking a 4-
year-old girl in the face.
Other conditions of St. Ger-
maines bond include no pos-
session or consumption of in-
toxicants, no taverns, and he
may have contact with chil-
dren if supervised.

Flambeau, had her case dis-
missed with prejudice. She was

The Wisconsin Association
of Homicide Investigators re-
cently released playing cards
featuring unsolved Wisconsin
homicides and missing per-
sons cases, including a 1990
case out of Lac du Flambeau.
Susan Poupart, who was 29
at the time of her disappear-
ance, will be featured on one
of the new playing cards. Her
remains were discovered in
the Chequamegon National
Forest, and the case is still
under investigation.
The association said it hopes
the cards, which will be dis-
tributed to prisons and sher-
iffs departments around the
state, will generate new leads
in cases that have gone cold.
The project started in 2009
when the association began
gathering information on 104
cold-case death investigations,
homicides and missing per-
sons cases from sheriffs de-
partments and police depart-
ments throughout the state.
Due to the large number of
cases profiled, two sets of cards
were created. The first focuses
on Milwaukee area cases, while
the other deck features cases
from throughout the state.
The information received
from an inmate might just be
the missing link that can
breathe new life into a case
that has gone cold, said spe-
cial agent Jim Holmes.
The Wisconsin Association of
Homicide Investigators worked
in partnership with the Wis-
consin Department of Justice,
the Wisconsin Department of
Corrections, the Badger State
Sheriffs Association, the Wis-
consin Sheriffs and Deputy
Sheriffs Association, the Wis-
consin Chiefs of Police Associa-
tion, the Racine Police Depart-
ment and law enforcement
agencies throughout the state.
The cold-case playing card
project will be ongoing, said
Holmes. Although 104 cases
are profiled in the first two
decks, as soon as 52 more cases
are developed, a second edition
of the playing cards will be
printed and distributed.
Law enforcement agencies
or members of the public who
would like to provide informa-
tion on a victim of a cold-case
homicide or missing persons
case, or who would like to
have a case reviewed for in-
clusion in a future edition of
the cards may contact Holmes
at (608) 266-1671 or
[email protected].
The cold-case cards project
is supported by grant funds
awarded by the Wisconsin De-
partment of Justice through
the U.S. Department of Jus-
tices National Institute of
Justice and is modeled after
programs in Florida, Indiana,
Minnesota, Missouri, Texas
and Washington.

The Three Lakes Boat Pa-
trol is spending more time in
areas where there is a concern
for boater safety on the Chain
of Lakes this summer, the
Three Lakes Town Board was
told as part of a report at its
meeting last week.
The Act 31 Advisory Com-
mittee was formed to make
recommendations to promote
safety on the water and the
boat patrol has ramped up its
watch in specific areas identi-
fied by the panel.
For example, the boat pa-
trol is spending more time in
Laurel Lake, where there are
vision issues for boaters in the
s-curve, according to police
Chief Scott Lea.
He said at this point in the
boating season, the patrol has
had 64 contacts with boaters
and personal watercraft oper-
ators, which has resulted in
24 citations. Lea said there
have been four watercraft ac-
cidents on the Chain.
The boat patrol also is com-
piling data detailing how
many stops were made, where
they were made, when they
were made and the age of the
individual stopped.
Lea said he hopes that the
effort to educate people to nav-
igate the water safely will con-
tinue. He said the data should
help for future patrol efforts.
Its data that we can track
so we can try to move our pa-
trols to the most important
time, when the probability is
highest when we can do the
most good being out there as
an agency, said Lea.
Jim Leatzow of the Act 31
Committee went over the rec-
ommendations made in the
committees report. He stated
that of 12 recommendations,
five required no further ac-
tion. Of the remaining seven,
four have not been acted
upon, two were acted upon but
still need work, and the one
regarding vision issues in
Laurel Lake has been helped
by the diligence of the boat pa-
trol in that area.
There also was concern
about the buoys which desig-
nate the position of the pilings
from the old ONeils bridge
which went from Long Lake to
Planting Ground Lake. The
bridge is no longer there, but
the pilings remain in the water.
The buoys mark the pil-
ings, but often get shifted out
of place by wind or the strap-
ping on the buoys. This could
pose a potential hazard for
boaters if they fail to see the
pilings, according to Leatzow.
It was decided a map could
be developed to help people
identify when the buoys are
out of place so it can be report-
ed to the town. Also, the town
is going to look into having a
dredge company cut down or
remove the pilings.
Fire hall and airport
The design of Fire House 2
on the towns east side also
was discussed. The town is
going to bid this project out,
but may bid out different
parts of the project separately
so that local contractors who
are interested in helping with
the project can do so.
It was recommended that
the town get engineering help
to determine the design and
placement of the building,
particularly the well.
Once a design is settled on
and approved by the Plan
Commission, the town board
will review it again before
bids are let.
Fire Chief Herb Stuckart
said the departments expens-
es were up in the budget be-
cause of the new brush truck,
which is now in service and
working well.
The board also passed a
motion to allow the Three
Lakes Municipal Airport to
exceed its budget for this year
by not more than $2,570, an
expense that can be covered
by the airports non-lapsing
account. This expenditure will
cover upkeep issues such as a
box to hide electrical equip-
ment and runway lights.
It was noted that most of
the items are one-time ex-
penses. The remaining items
in the airport managers list,
which are minor maintenance
issues, can be discussed at the
time of the next budget cycle,
the town board decided.
On another airport issue,
the board accepted the resig-
nation of assistant airport
manager Brent Wesfall.
Budget issues
The board announced that a
listening session regarding
town road reconstruction for
the next year will take place
Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 5:30 p.m.
and a listening session regard-
ing 2012 budget capital pur-
chase items will take place
Tuesday, Sept. 6, at 5:30 p.m. In
the session, electors will have
an opportunity to voice their
opinion on what items the town
should or should not purchase.
The board agreed that roof
repairs for the community
building will have to be taken
into account for next years
budget.
It also was agreed that the
town should not purchase the
Three Lakes Golf Course, al-
though this was suggested by a
number of people. The nine-hole
public course has been closed
for the summer by the owners.
The board heard a report
from town Clerk Sue Harris
on the loan resolution for the
East School Street reconstruc-
tion project. The sanitary dis-
trict is still waiting to receive
the 50/50 grant and loan from
the Department of Natural
Resources.
Harris said the town is
looking into borrowing about
$225,000 from the State In-
frastructure Bank for the
project, which would be paid
off as soon as the new budget
cycle starts in 2012.
Other business
In other business, the town
board:
directed the town clerk
to coordinate a survey of busi-
nesses on Superior Street, to
determine whether they are
for or against street closure
for events and whether this
positively or negatively affects
business;
recommended Oneida
County should sell only the
portion of the Branham Road
stub that it believes belongs to
the county, and that a certain
amount of square footage, to
be decided, be preserved for
the access of the town crew;
heard a revised quarter-
ly report showing year-to-
date interest from town in-
vestments was $9,006;
learned that there will
be public high-speed Internet
access in the community
building, once the awaited
router is installed; and
discussed what could be
done about the muskrat tun-
nels at Maple Lake beach and
it was decided that a curb
needs to be reinstalled at the
beach.

vivors. We had 180 people
show up as survivors, which is
outstanding. I understand that
there arent that many relays
that have that many sur-
vivors. And thats what its all
about.
Martens said people of all
ages and all walks of life help
organize and attend the Relay.
We just do what we have to
do and everybody does their
part and it comes together. You
guys make us look good, said
Martens. We just believe in
our survivors, because every
year is another birthday and
thats why were here. We also
want to remind everyone of
Hope, which is our theme this
year. Its a simple one. You look
around and you feel the hope.
Theres a lot of hope here and
we love you all.
Volunteer Ann Dunphy an-
nounced the final figure, which
brought a big round of ap-
plause from those who gath-
ered at the closing ceremony
at the Northland Pines High
School track Saturday morn-
ing.
The fact that cancer affects
nearly everyone in some way
was evident throughout the
16-hour Relay, from listening
to the opening ceremony and
watching the survivors walk
to reading the luminarias
around the track and witness-
ing the final lap after learning
$70,000 had already been
raised in the fight against can-
cer.
Martens said final figures
wont be known for several
weeks because money is still
coming in through donations
and matching funds.
The Northwoods Relay For
Life brings many area commu-
nities together for a single
cause. People came from Eagle
River, Three Lakes, Phelps,
Land O Lakes, St. Germain,
Sayner and Sugar Camp to
support the Relay.
Special guests
Honorary survivor Eunice
Hughes gave an uplifting mes-
sage during the Relays open-
ing ceremonies Friday night.
I am really honored to be
here and never in my wildest
dreams did I think that seven
and one-half years later I
would be the honorary sur-
vivor, said Hughes, who was
diagnosed with pancreatic can-
cer in 2004.
One thing I want to share
with everybody, be as aggres-
sive as you possibly can (in
your battle against cancer),
she said. Do what you have to
do. Know what your blood
counts are. Know what your
numbers are. You take care of
yourself. Its your body. You
take care of it.
She had a message for the
180 survivors attending the
Relay.
Survivors, when you take
your first lap, I want you to
say to yourself, Hold your
head up high. We are sur-
vivors, said Hughes. So, the
first lap, walk high with your
head up. The second lap, I will
let you put your head down for
a bit and think of all those
who did not make it. Like my
parents. Like my brother, who
just passed away this last
March. So hold your heads up
high. Then look at all the bags
and the memories.
Hughes and family mem-
bers then tossed candy to
those in the audience.
Just remember the first
two letters of God are go. Im
telling you, go have a sweet
life. He will hold your hand,
but youve got to be willing to
grab it. Have a sweet life and
God bless us all.
Honorary caregivers Terri
Kemp of Roscoe, Ill., and her
sister, Beth Anderson of South
Carolina, also were recognized.
They lost their parents, Breck
and Sandy Brown, to cancer
just five days apart in Septem-
ber of 2010. Their parents
served as honorary survivors
at the Relay in 2009.
My sister Beth and I cared
for them on and off throughout
those two years, finally moving
in with them in the last four
months of their lives, said
Kemp. What a blessing this
time was together. Day in and
day out, we cared for them out
of love. We wanted to be there
for them as they had always
been there for us.
Kemp said the North Woods
community helped them as
caregivers.
We felt strength in each
other as sisters and we felt
strength from all of you who
consumed us with love and
many, many prayers, said
Kemp. What a special commu-
nity this is. We cant begin to
express our gratitude enough.
Your continued support for us
is amazing and we thank you
from the bottom of our hearts.
Anderson said that, while
their parents battled cancer as
survivors, they also were care-
givers to each other.
It is something that they
talked about a lot. And they felt
it enabled them to understand
how the other one was feeling,
said Anderson. They told us
often that it was their role as
caregivers that they found to be
the most difficult.
Anderson had a message for
all the caregivers and survivors
in the audience.
Certainly, caring for our
parents was the most difficult
and most rewarding experience
of our lives, so far, said Ander-
son. For those of you who are
currently caregivers, and sur-
vivors, our hearts go out to you.
We know what difficult paths
you walk. We hope that you
find the blessings during your
challenges and that you trea-
sure your time together despite
the reason for it. May the love
and support of family and
friends and this extraordinary
community sustain you, uplift
you and enable you to do what
you could never do alone.
Teams raise funds
After the opening addresses
and the POPs River Revival
chorus singing the national
anthem, cancer survivors par-
ticipated in the survivors lap
in recognition of their battles
with cancer. The survivors,
donning purple T-shirts, were
accompanied by family and
friends.
The survivors were followed
by 22 teams who were respon-
sible for raising much of the
money. A team parade, with
many participants carrying
banners, followed the sur-
vivors around the track.
According to Dunphy, who
announced the top fundraising
teams Saturday morning, in-
cluding 12 teams which raised
more than $2,000. Spirit of
Hope led the way with $7,215,
followed by Scotts Shining
Stars at $5,890, Meyer & Asso-
ciates with $5,190, Prince of
Peace at $4,446, St. Peters
Walkers With Soul at $4,513,
F.A.C.E. at $4,109, M&I Bank
at $3,193, Northland Pines
Education Association at
$3,037, St. Marys Faithful at
$2,580, Vilas County News-Re-
view at $2,273, T.J. Grizzlies at
$2,227 and Peoples State
Bank at $2,008.
Late donations still can be
made to the following address:
Northwoods Relay For Life,
3235 Tijan Lane, Eagle River,
WI 54521.
Many individuals also
raised more than $1,000, but
the top fundraiser was Gail
Pipp of Conover, who brought
in $5,410. Martens was second
with $2,180 and Mary Ann
Shepard was third with
$1,970.
Various fundraisers took
place during the 16-hour vigil.
One of the largest activities
was a spaghetti dinner hosted
by the Greater Eagle River
Tennis Association, which
raised $1,721. The Eagle River
Lions Club had a pancake
breakfast and The Beauty Re-
sort hosted the Locks of Love
hair-cutting tent.
Throughout the night, there
also were games, raffles and
demonstrations. At 9:30 p.m., a
luminaria ceremony recog-
nized those who have battled
cancer. About 700 paper bags
containing lights and display-
ing personal messages in
honor, or in memory, of indi-
viduals lined the entire track,
according to Martens.
Martens said a Relay chal-
lenge was held to keep teams
walking through the night,
awarding extra cash to the
teams walking the most laps.
When the event wrapped up
at 10 a.m. Saturday, a tired
but proud group, including vol-
unteers and committee mem-
bers who had stayed the entire
night, walked the last lap in
reverse, knowing they had
helped raise more than
$70,000 to battle cancer.
We had 22 great teams this
year, but we need to build on
the number of teams, said
Martens. Next years Relay
For Life will be Aug. 3-4,
2012.
A total of 180 survivors attended the Northwoods Relay For Life at
the Northland Pines High School track in Eagle River Friday
evening. The 12th annual event paid special tribute to those men
and women battling cancer. --STAFF PHOTO

PLANE CRASH Pilot David D. Allen, 46, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
was headed to Lakeland Airport in Arbor Vitae last Friday afternoon
when his single-engine aircraft crashed into Lake Tomahawk in
Oneida County. The pilot said the engine cut out and he attempted
to beach the Cessna 172 on Dohlun Point, but the plane touched
water about 40 feet from shore and flipped. The pilot got out of the
plane and got to shore by himself. He sustained a minor injury to
his elbow. --Photo By Dean Acheson
The first review of a new
grievance policy and adjust-
ments to the employee hand-
book for professional staff
were approved last week by
the Northland Pines School
Board.
Language changes signaled
the end to many collective
bargaining areas as a result of
Gov. Scott Walkers budget re-
pair bill that prompted mass
demonstrations in Madison
last February and March.
For example, no longer is
the word employee hand-
book used to reference staff;
its been replaced with the
words employment hand-
book. All benefits are now
referenced to the handbook
rather than any collective bar-
gaining agreement.
While there were minor
changes throughout the docu-
ment, the most significant ad-
dition was a grievance policy
mandated by the new state
statutes that address employ-
ee termination, discipline and
workplace safety.
The grievance procedure
must be a written document
specifying the process an em-
ployee and school board must
follow, include a hearing be-
fore an impartial hearing offi-
cer (IHO) and an appeal pro-
cess to the full school board.
The first review of the
grievance policy contains a
four-step process starting
with filing a written grievance
to a district employees imme-
diate supervisor who must
provide a written response
within 10 business days to the
grievant with a copy to the
district office.
Should the grievance not be
satisfactorily resolved, it may
be submitted to the district
administrator within five days
to initiate step two.
Should the grievant receive
an adverse decision at step
two on the basis of timeliness,
scope of the process or failure
to follow the process, the mat-
ter shall be referred to the
school board. The board would
then determine if the matter
should be processed.
If the district action is ter-
mination, step two can be
waived and the grievant can
initiate step three immediate-
ly by requesting a hearing be-
fore an IHO.
This policy says the dis-
trict administrator shall se-
lect the IHO, Richie told the
board, and indicated the num-
ber of IHOs is presently unde-
termined.
The board discussed
putting a timeline on having
the IHO conduct a hearing
and making a ruling, but that
was not included in the policy.
Board member Holly McCor-
mack questioned the lack of a
timeline, with a response that
whomever the IHO is, the per-
son may not be able to comply
based on the persons other
duties.
Lets leave it open for now;
we can always add it later if
needed, said board President
Jim Mulleady.
Under the district policy,
the IHO would have no flexi-
bility in modifying the deci-
sion that led to the grievance,
but could only uphold the dis-
trict action or deny the district
action. Any modifications
would be the responsibility of
the full school board at a hear-
ing in step four.
While professional staff
will be evaluated a minimum
of every other year, it was de-
cided teachers new to the dis-
trict will be evaluated once
per year for the first three
years.

RHINELANDER Wausau
Homes Rhinelander, located at
1825 N. Stevens Ave., will cele-
brate its grand opening with an
open house Saturday, Aug. 20,
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Visitors can tour the design
center that showcases every-
thing from cabinets and coun-
tertops to siding and shingles.
Among event highlights will be
a viewer that allows home buy-
ers to see floor plans to a home
before its built.
Were prepared for the im-
proving economy, said owner
Nathan Shrock. By partner-
ing with Wausau Homes and
opening our new design center,
were able to give customers a
stress-free building experience
different than anything out
there today.
This building experience in-
cludes a firm price up front
and a firm move-in date, which
removes the angst from two of
the most stressful aspects of
building a home, said Shrock.
Weve redefined the build-
ing experience and were invit-
ing everyone to take a look,
whether theyre thinking of
building a home this fall or
planning for the future, he
said.
Refreshments and a prize
drawing will be available at
the open house. At the same
time, attendees will be able to
see a variety of sample prod-
ucts.
Wausau Homes has been in
partnership with local builders
throughout the midwest for 50
years. For more information,

Wisconsins new Voter
Photo ID Law will be put to
another test in recall elections
Aug. 9 and 16, and the Gov-
ernment Accountability
Board reminds people who do
not yet have a photo identifi-
cation that they can still vote.
Until February 2012, we
are still in a soft implementa-
tion period when a photo ID
is not required, said Kevin
Kennedy, director and general
counsel of the Government
Accountability Board. How-
ever, our help desk continues
to get calls from people con-
cerned that they cant vote in
the coming recall elections be-
cause they dont have a photo
ID.
Under the new law during
soft implementation, voters
must be asked for a photo ID
before they receive a ballot;
however, if they do not have a
photo ID, they can still vote.
Voters without photo IDs
must be given a handout ex-
plaining they will need a
photo ID to vote beginning in
February 2012. The handout
also explains what IDs are ac-
ceptable, and how to get a free
photo ID for voting purposes.
Elections Division adminis-
trator Nathaniel E. Robinson
said the board is also aware of
misinformation being spread
about voter registration.
The new Voter Photo ID
Law did not change election-
day registration, Robinson
said. You can still register to
vote on election day at your
polling place.
Robinson urged anyone
with questions about the new
Voter Photo ID Law to visit
the boards website for com-
plete, accurate information at
gab.wi.gov/elections-voting.
On Tuesday of this week
(Aug. 9), six Republican sena-
tors faced recall elections and,
on Aug. 16, two Democratic
incumbents will face their re-
call election, including 12th
District Sen. Jim Holperin of
Conover.
Voters can check their reg-
istration status, find the elec-
tion date in their area and
view their sample ballot at
the Voter Public Access web-
site at vpa.wi.gov. The Voter
Photo ID handout is available

not required in recall
The Government Account-
ability Board (GAB) has re-
ceived several reports in re-
cent weeks of unofficial ab-
sentee ballot applications po-
tentially causing confusion
among voters.
Kevin Kennedy, Wiscon-
sins chief election officer, said
that while it is legal for
groups and political parties to
produce and distribute absen-
tee ballot applications, voters
who wish to vote absentee
need not rely on them.
If you need or want to vote
absentee, contact your munic-
ipal clerk directly and request
a ballot, Kennedy said.
The GAB has recently seen
unofficial absentee ballot appli-
cations forms that contain er-
rors, such as incorrect address-
es and dates, Kennedy said.
There has been some con-
fusion intentional or unin-
tentional between the re-
call elections in Senate dis-
tricts 2, 8, 10, 14, 18, 32 on
Aug. 9 and the elections in
Senate districts 12 and 22 on
Aug. 16, he said.
The recall election primary
between 12th District Sen.
Jim Holperin and challenger
Kim Simac will be Aug. 16.
Elections Division Admin-
istrator Nathaniel E. Robin-
son said the GAB has also re-
ceived reports that some auto-
mated telephone calls and
telephone polls in recent days
have contained incorrect elec-
tion dates.
If you are not sure when
the election is in your area, call
your local clerk or visit our
Voter Public Access website at
vpa.wi.gov, said Robinson.
VPA users can easily find their
polling place locations and
sample ballots, he said.
Kennedy said that if the
address on the absentee ballot
application mailer or enve-
lope is incorrect, it could go to
the wrong place.
If you rely on an incorrect
date on the mailer, you may
be too late to vote absentee,
he said.
Kennedy noted that the
four-week period between the
primaries in July and the re-
call elections Aug. 9 and Aug.
16 is relatively short.
If you requested an absen-
tee ballot and have not received
one, you can always request
one directly from your munici-
pal clerk by mail or e-mail, or
vote in person, he said.
Robinson also reminded
voters that they may cast an
in-person absentee ballot at
their city, village or town
clerks office during normal
business hours until the Fri-
day before the election.
Voters are welcome to visit
the GABs website, gab.wi.gov,
for information about the re-
call elections, as well as the
ongoing soft implementa-
tion of the new voter photo
identification law.
Unofficial absentee ballots
causing some confusion
Recall: candidates discuss key issues
FROM PAGE 1A
needed to attempt a compro-
mise.
Both candidates have been
busy on the campaign trail
across the sprawling district
since the primary July 19. The
12th Senate District consists
of all or parts of 11 counties in
northeastern Wisconsin, in-
cluding all of Vilas, Oneida
and Forest counties.
Simac said the primary
issue in the district is to bring
jobs to the North Woods.
By lowering some of the
taxes that make the cost of
living so high, such as grocery
taxes, telephone taxes and gas
taxes, we can help create an
environment that would be at-
tractive for new jobs and new
workers to come to Wisconsin
and the North Woods, said
Simac.
Holperin said the key issue
for the 12th District is eco-
nomic development.
I will continue to work
hard to assure that state re-
sources are directed to the
North Woods, creating condi-
tions which foster business
success, economic vitality and
job growth, said Holperin.
Simac, who is taking her
first shot at political office,
has been chastised by at least
one political action committee
for dodging candidate forums,
including one last week spon-
sored by two nonpartisan se-
nior advocacy groups, Coali-
tion of Wisconsin Aging
Groups and the Wisconsin Al-
liance of Retired Americans,
in Rhinelander.
Kim Simacs inability to
answer very basic questions
or account for radical state-
ments have caused her han-
dlers to lock her up in an
undisclosed bunker, said
Kelly Steele, spokesman for
We Are Wisconsin.
Simac said she submitted
responses to questions to be
read verbatim to the member-
ship with her apologies for not
being in attendance at the
Rhinelander forum.
This event had been publi-
cized with Kims name as an
attendee long before the dead-
line to respond, said Matt
Capristo, Simacs communica-
tions director.
In June, Simac was the
only senate candidate not to
appear at the Tomahawk Edu-
cation Forum, saying she had
a previous engagement on
that date.
One more forum before the
election was planned for Tues-
day, Aug. 9, on WRJO Radio in
Eagle River at 6 p.m. The
forum was scheduled to be
broadcast live on 94.5 FM.
Simac is the owner of Great
Northern Riding Club south of
Eagle River. She also authored
several childrens books. Polit-
ically, Simac is vice chairwom-
an of the Vilas County Repub-
lican Party. She founded
Northwoods Patriots, which
evolved into a Tea Party chap-
ter with members in Vilas and
Oneida counties. This is her
first run at a public office.
Simac and her husband,
Butch, have eight children.
Holperin, an Eagle River
native who now lives in
Conover, was the state repre-
sentative for the 34th Assem-
bly District from 1982 to 1992
and was elected to the Senate
in 2008. He also is a former ex-
ecutive director of Trees For
Tomorrow in Eagle River and
was Wisconsin Department of
Tourism secretary from 2003
to 2007. Holperin and his wife,
Kathy, have two children.
The following are questions
concerning issues in the 12th
Senate District asked of the two
candidates. The answers are
unedited unless the candidate
went over the 75-word limit:
1. Why do you feel that
it was right, or wrong, that
14 Democratic senators
left the state rather than
voting on the budget re-
pair bill?
Holperin: It was necessary
to delay action on the budget
repair bill because the con-
tents of the legislation were
misrepresented, and those af-
fected by the measure de-
served to have time to learn
the truth and to make their
voices of opposition heard.
Also, time was needed to at-
tempt a compromise. After a
reasonable delay, and after at-
tempts at compromise failed, I
voted for the budget-balancing
fiscal components of the bill.
Simac: I believe that leav-
ing the state was a serious
dereliction of duty, and not
how the people of the North
Woods want to be represented.
I understand Jim Holperin
had strong objections to the
bill, but running away didnt
solve the problem; it just made
it worse. You cant negotiate if
youre not at the table of dis-
cussion. For three weeks, Jim
Holperin left the 12th District
without a voice.
2. Do you believe in the
recall process and why?
Holperin: Voters should al-
ways have the option to recall
elected officials. However,
under current law, elected offi-
cials can be recalled for any
reason. Given the recent fre-
quency of recalls at both the
state and local level, I believe
recalls should be limited to
addressing malfeasance or
other serious ethical matters.
Recall elections are expensive
and time consuming for local
governments.
Simac: I do believe in the re-
call process; it gives us as con-
stituents that extra check on
our legislators. I believe there
should be some reforms that
may take a constitutional
amendment so that recalls be
allowed only in the case of
criminal actions and serious
breaches of conduct, not sim-
ply for policy disagreements.
3. Now that there is a re-
call election, what are the
primary legislative issues
that you are running on?
Holperin: I will continue to
work hard to create conditions
which foster business success,
economic vitality and job
growth. Examples include:
snowmobile, bicycle and ATV
trail aid; adequate tourism
marketing budget; environ-
mental enhancements like
public landings, user-friendly
fish and game policies, and
sound forest management
practices; and tax policies and
economic development pro-
grams that favor main-street
businesses.
Simac: My primary issue is
to bring jobs to the North
Woods, everything else comes
from that. By lowering some of
the taxes that make the cost of
living so high, such as grocery
taxes, telephone taxes and gas
taxes, we can help create an
environment that would be at-
tractive for new jobs and new
workers to come to Wisconsin
and the North Woods as well
as make it easier for those who
already live here.
4. What is your feeling
on term limits?
Holperin: I do not support
legislation to establish term
limits for Wisconsin. Voters
are capable of choosing who
they want to represent them
without restrictions. There is
no evidence to suggest that
states with term limits are
better governed, more effi-
cient, more reasonably taxed,
more successful economically
or better by any measure than
states without term limits.
Simac: I support term lim-
its. Should I be elected, I
would limit myself to two full
terms, plus the remainder of
this current term. I believe
that after too long, a represen-
tative becomes stale and too
far removed from the people of
their district and needs to step
aside. That being said, insti-
tuting term limits is a choice
for the people to make through
initiative and by referendum
for an amendment to the state
constitution.
5. Outline any changes
you would propose to the
spending/revenue limits
now in place for schools,
municipalities, counties
and technical colleges.
Holperin: Ive supported
local property tax levy limits
in the past and will continue
to. Next year, for the first
time, levies for certain school
districts will be required to go
down. The Legislature should
review this policy since, when
combined with state aid cuts,
levy reductions will affect the
quality of education and could
result in school closings or
consolidations which will hurt
small rural communities.
Simac: The current formula
used to calculate state aid
tries, but it doesnt give equal
treatment to all school dis-
tricts. I would look at modifi-
cations such as taking into ac-
count adjusted income in ad-
dition to property values when
calculating the funding for-
mula. The most important
thing is we make sure schools
have what they need to be able
to fulfill their primary objec-
tive and that is educating our
children.
6. Should the state re-
form its financing system
for public schools and do
you support increased
state funding of schools?
Holperin: Yes, and I sup-
port State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Tony Evers
plan which guarantees state
aid of $3,000 per pupil per
year to every school district.
The plan also adds a low-in-
come factor to the aid formula
and makes other changes that
favor rural, declining enroll-
ment and low aid districts.
The state cannot afford more
funding for schools right now,
but could by cutting back on
corporate tax breaks.
Simac: I believe that with
$12 billion being allocated to-
ward funding our public
schools there already is a lot of
money in the system for educa-
tion. What I would seek to do is
find ways so that the vast ma-
jority of that money finds its
way into the classroom. Some-
thing that unfortunately has
been lost in education is the ed-
ucation of our children. Ap-
proximately 10% of a districts
budget goes toward compli-
ance with Madison regulation.
7. Would you continue
to support the use of boat-
ing account fuel taxes for
aquatic invasive species
(AIS) management grants?
Holperin: Yes. The annual
payment of gas taxes collected
from motorboaters into the
Water Resources Account of
the Conservation Fund is an
appropriate way to pay for
grants to fight aquatic inva-
sive species. I favor regular in-
flationary increases in the $4
million appropriated annually
for the AIS grant program.
Simac: I would support this
under the condition that those
taxes go towards the purpose
for which they are collected, in
this case for AIS management
grants. Too often over the past
decade these funds have been
raided from their specific pur-
pose and put into the general
fund. A perfect example of that
would be the raids on the
transportation fund and med-
ical malpractice fund. I would
not support any kind of this
repurposing.
8. Would you support
the Natural Resources
Board naming a DNR Sec-
retary rather than ap-
pointed by the governor?
Holperin: Yes, and I have
introduced legislation to ac-
complish this change (Senate
Bill 119). Most hunting and
fishing groups, conservation
organizations and state citi-
zens believe that having a
Board appointed DNR Secre-
tary would reduce the poli-
tics which can influence deci-
sion-making on outdoor and
sporting issues.
Simac: No, I do not believe
that a department head, espe-
cially one as powerful as the
DNR, should be appointed by
an unelected board.
9. When it comes to
shoreland zoning and NR
115, would you repeal (and
why or why not) the DNR
rule?
Holperin: I do not support
the repeal of NR 115, a rule
which aims to protect our
states inland lakes from
runoff pollution and overde-
velopment. The DNR recently
acknowledged the ongoing
controversy over the complex
nature of the rule by delaying
its implementation until
2014. I have introduced legis-
lation (SB 36) to modify one
part of the rule, and would be
receptive to other reasonable
amendments, but I do not
favor repeal.
Simac: I would request a
postponement on full imple-
mentation. Traveling around
the district I have heard many
local governments express se-
rious concerns with its imple-
mentation and its effect on
their constituents. They feel
that they have not been prop-
erly or fully consulted. I would
seek more local control in this
matter and potentially an opt-
in policy for local governments
based on the support of local
constituents.
10. Do you support or
oppose funding for Senior-
Care, Medicaid and Bad-
gerCare (explain)?
Holperin: SeniorCare fund-
ing is a top priority and I
worked with other legislators
earlier this year to reverse
Governor Walkers plan to
force thousands of older citi-
zens off SeniorCare and onto
Medicare Part D. Im working
to assure that Wisconsin can
obtain authority from the fed-
eral government to continue
SeniorCare beyond 2014. I
also support Medicaid and
BadgerCare, so that Wiscon-
sin children from low-income
families will have basic health
insurance.
Simac: I do support fund-
ing for these programs. How-
ever, the vast majority of the
funding for these programs
comes from the federal govern-
ment and, as a state senator, I
would seek to make sure that
these state programs are in
place for those who need them
the most.

Properties obtained by
Vilas County through tax
foreclosure brought $107,000
into the county general fund
when bids were opened last
week by the countys Forestry
& Land Committee.
While accepting high bids
on five parcels, the committee
also rejected bids on 18
parcels for insufficient bids.
Four tracts of land from the
recently divided acreage in the
town of Land O Lakes, known
as the Mill Creek lots, received
multiple bids. These parcels, all
undeveloped, ranged from 13 to
34 acres in size, some having
frontage on Mill Creek.
Lot three of Mill Creek, 33
acres, was appraised at
$70,000 in 2011. It received
four bids ranging from a low
bid of $17,780 to a high bid of
$30,000. The committee ac-
cepted the high bid of Erin
Nowak/Chris Klessig.
Lot four of Mill Creek, 34
acres, was appraised at
$70,000. It received three bids
ranging from a low bid of
$17,780 to the high bid of
$30,500, also from Nowak/
Klessig, which the committee
accepted.
Lot five of Mill Creek, 16
acres, received two bids of
$14,000 and $8,510. The ap-
praised value was $40,000
and both bids were rejected.
Lot eight of Mill Creek had
three bids for its 26 acres. The
high bid of $24,000 from Bar-
bara & Mark Renc was accept-
ed. The parcel was appraised
at $48,000.
Also in Land O Lakes, a 32-
acre parcel appraised at
$100,000 received a bid of
$12,000 from the town of Land
O Lakes. This was the third
time the town placed a bid on
this property. According to Town
Chairman Dan Balog, town offi-
cials really want the parcel.
It has a cemetery on one
side, the town garage on an-
other side and open land the
town owns on a third side, he
told the committee, who voted
to accept the towns bid.
One bid was received on a 12-
acre parcel in the town of Arbor
Vitae with an appraised value of
$35,000. Staff indicated the
town was not interested in the
land, therefore the committee
accepted the bid of $11,071 from
John and Kelly Ferg.
Funds from land sales are
deposited into the county gen-
eral fund. The county had a
total of $39,327 in expenses in
obtaining the tax-delinquent
parcels, having the properties
appraised and/or surveyed,
and paying the other adminis-
trative taxing units taxes due.
There are remaining lands
available for bidding. People
can contact the Vilas County
Forestry Department for de-
tailed information on size, lo-
cation, appraised values and
what previous bid amounts
were rejected, if any.
Access to trails
The committee was given a
report on new requirements to
allow power-driven mobility de-
vices (PDMD) to operate on
public trails, unless they cannot
be reasonably accommodated.
These rules are from the
U.S. Department of Justice
with the stated purpose of
providing safe access to all,
with the requirement that the
county evaluate on a trail-by-
trail basis the ability to ac-
commodate PDMDs on county
trails and make trail-specific
determinations on use.
Guidelines from the Wis-
consin Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) indicate a
PDMD is any mobility device
powered by batteries, fuel or
other engines that is used by
individuals with mobility dis-
abilities to maneuver in areas
without defined pedestrian
routes.
PDMDs can be golf carts,
ATVs, trucks, dune buggies, or
a Segway, but not a
wheelchair, because a person
in a wheelchair is considered
a pedestrian and does not
need a permit to operate on
public lands open to pedestri-
ans. All access points to trails
must allow for the physical
passage of a wheelchair.
Reasonable accommoda-
tions of policies, practices and
procedures to allow use of
PDMDs need to be made on
all trails. They must be al-
lowed unless there is an actu-
al safety risk. Actual risks
cannot be based on specula-
tion, stereotypes or general-
izations about individuals
with disabilities or PDMDs.
DNR guidelines suggest
while some specific trails or
land classifications may not
be appropriate for PDMDs,
there are five factors that
must be considered.
First, the physical charac-
teristics of the PDMD, such as
type, size, weight, dimensions
and speed, need to be consid-
ered. Secondly, the volume of
pedestrian traffic on a trail
may pose a safety risk, de-
pending on the type of PDMD.
Third, the trail design and
features such as steep grades,
sharp curves, uneven terrain
and natural obstacles of a par-
ticular trail may make it un-
safe to operate PDMDs.
Fourth, trails are intended for
all users; and to restrict
PDMDs, one must address re-
quirements that could be
adopted, such as a specific
speed limit. Finally, certain
trails may not be suitable for
allowing PDMDs if they pass
through sensitive areas that
may affect important animal
or plant habitats.
If restricting PDMDs from
a trail, there must be a docu-
mented reason and an evalua-
tion if the factors for the re-
striction could be modified to
allow for better access.
Other action
In other action, the commit-
tee:
opened six bids to re-
place the floor in the forestry
office, ranging from $12,000 to
$16,000, with the staff direct-
ed to review the bids and ac-
cept the lowest one that met
all specifications;
approved a joint resolu-
tion with the county highway
department favoring the pro-
posed county-wide bicycle
plan connecting communities;
postponed a decision on
a request for a permanent
easement for a commercial
cell tower on county land in
the town of Cloverland,
though the company offered
$100,000 for the permanent
easement; and
favored a possible land
trade that would provide the
county with part of the former
Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road grade north of Eagle River.

GOVERNMENT
MEETINGS
An explanation on the dif-
ference between a long-range
comprehensive land-use plan
and zoning regulations may
help Eagle River develop a re-
quired 10-year plan.
A number of years ago, the
city officials terminated their
first attempt at a comprehen-
sive plan, but are now starting
work on finishing the effort.
Those discussions started last
week at the Eagle River Plan
Commission meeting.
The commission had asked
city attorney Steve Garbowicz
a number of questions on the
relationship between land-
use planning and zoning.
He summarized his response
saying, A comprehensive plan
simply indicates the citys de-
sire that future development
proceed in that direction.
In regard to zoning regula-
tions, Garbowicz said zoning
can be changed to comply
with a land-use plan.
Nothing in the statute re-
quires the city to adopt zoning
ordinances in conformance with
the master plan, or to adopt a
master plan that is completely
consistent with existing zoning
ordinances, however convenient
that may be, he said.
Mayor Jeff Hyslop wanted
to be clear on the definitions.
In other words, said Hys-
lop, a long-range plan is a
plan, not a regulation.
Commission member Bill
Doerr added, Maps show the
boundary of a district and
zoning indicates what you can
do in a district.
Hsylop broke the city down
based on past uses.
We can take the city core
and say this is what it is, said
Hyslop, referring to residen-
tial areas and downtown busi-
ness areas. We have some
areas that are undeveloped
that we can look broadly at
and the part thats developed,
just leave it alone.
The mayor indicated once a
plan is developed, a public hear-
ing or two would be needed.
One would be to amend
the plan and the other to
change the zoning to fit an ex-
pressed use, he predicted. It
makes every change we make
custom fit.
Commission member Mary
Horant said any changes
sought by a property owner
should include the reasons for
the city to consider. City Ad-
ministrator Joe Laux agreed,
saying in the past requests
havent always had detailed
reasons for a zoning change.
We could create a short
questionnaire on why a zoning
change should be done, Laux
said. They fill it out and we
determine if it makes sense.
The commission members
decided such a process would
be beneficial for consistency.
Member Kim Schaffer sug-
gested the process be written
into the zoning ordinance.
Identifying areas
Hyslop said the city needs
to start a draft of the land-use
portion of the long-range plan
and it needs to be based on
the statute.
Laux suggested they could
start with looking at the exist-
ing land-use and zoning maps
to identify the core areas that
are fairly rigid and identify the
areas with some flexibility.
There is one anomaly that
I see in the single-family resi-
dential zoning district that is
occurring, Laux said. We do
not have a prohibition on
weekly rentals of homes in
the residential areas like
county zoning has. Its the
only change I see happening.
It could be the economy or it
could be people trying to hang
onto these places. The other
area needing discussion is a
government-use district.
The commission will look
at the larger tracts of land on
both the east and west sides
of the city. Doerr suggested
property owners be invited to
discuss what they envision for
the different areas.

12A VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS WEDNESDAY, AUG. 10, 2011
After the extreme warm and humid weather of the
last month or so, it feels just great to get out on the
lakes with the cooler conditions. The water tempera-
tures have cooled considerably because of the cold
rain and the cooler nights.
Unfortunately, these conditions just seem to have
made the mosquitoes more hungry. A good freeze some
night would end that problem, but that wont happen
for a while. At any rate, life is great outside right now.
The water levels continue to stay high on the Chain
of Lakes and many other lakes because of the rain.
And those very low seepage lakes are a little better
than they were at the beginning of the year. Weeds
are good for fishing, but will start to die off surpris-
ingly soon with the cooler water temperatures and
shorter days.
Walleye fishing is good, but not great right now.
Anglers are waiting for the deep-water bite on those
deeper, clear lakes, but just like everything else this
year, it will be later than usual. There is a good weed
bite going on the Chain. Anglers will be able to catch
fish in surprisingly shallow weeds on a daily basis in
the dark water on the Chain with minnows or leeches.
Walleyes are moving around, so be willing to search
for them by trying both deep and shallow.
Bass action has been great for the largemouths.
They have been especially active on surface baits, and
will provide great action with Jitterbugs and other sur-
face lures. Just look for the thickest weeds you can find.
Smallmouth action has been good, but not as good as
the largemouth. The fish have been following hatches
(which are quite late this year) all over the lakes, so
they havent been as predictable as in previous years.
Smallies are still feeding on crayfish when they can
find them, so crayfish imitations work very well.
Northerns have been hitting well, with the best
action on the Chain in the weeds. Use any flashy or
noisy lure for these aggressive fish. Chubs work very
Weeds still providing
walleyes, bass, panfish
ALL WAS quiet in the bay as I
searched for panfish, bobbers sus-
pending plastic baits near the
break and weed line, when sud-
denly an osprey started chirping
excitedly overhead.
It apparently had spotted a
wounded fish further down the bay,
and it made the grab on one mighty
swoop far out of photo range. But
then it swung back with its catch,
and flew right over me, the fish
grasped tightly in its talons.
Little did I know, but the show
was about to begin. An eagle
streamed in over the tree line, de-
livering its squeaky calls while
putting wings into turbo boost to
chase down that osprey.
In the course of 250 yards, the
eagle caught and forced the osprey
to drop its catch, the big splash eas-
ily visible on calm waters across the
small lake. The eagle hovered for a
moment, then dove and grabbed the
fish on its first attempt.
Such is the difficulty for ospreys
trying to carve out territory in the
midst of eagle country. They hunt
the same waters but dont always
get away with their catch.
That little experience came to
mind recently as I thumbed my
way through the 2010 Wisconsin
Bald Eagle and Osprey survey
from the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR).
Its no wonder people in Vilas,
Oneida and Forest counties have a
deep appreciation for these two
raptors, for 25% of the nesting ter-
ritories for each species are locat-
ed within the three counties the
heart of Wisconsins lake country.
The report is prepared each
year by a team of biologists, led by
the now-retired but still active
Ron Eckstein of Rhinelander. It is
based on aerial surveys conducted
with DNR pilots and aircraft. For
each species, they take one flight
to document nest activity and an-
other in summer to count young.
There were 1,247 known eagle
nest territories occupied by breed-
ing adults in 2010, an increase of
a whopping 99 pairs from 2009.
The number had risen by just six
pairs the previous year.
Vilas led the 72 counties with
148 pairs, up one pair from 2009,
followed closely by Oneida County
with 135 pairs, which was nine bet-
ter than the previous year. Next in
line was Burnett County on the
Mississippi River with 70 pairs.
Eckstein, who still does a ton of
volunteer work in the eagle and
osprey program, said at least 473
young were observed in 348 suc-
cessful nests. Thats considerably
higher than the 297 successful
nests in 2009.
In a sample using 291 success-
ful nests, 45% had one eaglet, 52%
had two young and 3% had three
young the exact percentages
from a survey in 2009.
Eckstein said the year will be
remembered for the amazing
growth in eagle territories after
two years with very little growth.
Eagles are now nesting in 65 of
the states 72 counties and their
numbers continue to rise in cen-
tral and southern counties.
The impacts of last years nest-
ing wont be felt for years, as it
takes four to five years for an eagle
to reach maturity, find a mate and
carve out a territory of its own.
Only mature bald eagles have the
white head and tail feathers.
DNR staff and volunteers recov-
ered about 120 sick, injured or
dead eagles in 2010, down about 30
birds from the previous year. The
leading cause of death was collision
with a vehicle mostly when ea-
gles were scavenging car-killed
deer. Other common causes of eagle
mortality include lead poisoning,
electrocution, territorial fights and
unspecified wing injuries.
Thats why motorists have been
warned for years of the need to
slow down when they see any
eagle flying near a roadway or lift-
ing out of a ditch. The birds rou-
tinely swing back toward the open
space the roadway in order
to gain speed and altitude.
On the osprey side of the equa-
tion, there were 531 osprey nest
territories occupied by breeding
adults in 2010, up 22 from 2009.
Oneida County had the most os-
preys with 89 pairs, down five
pairs from the previous year, while
Vilas was up five pairs with a
total of 32. Washburn and Sawyer
counties had 36 and 31 breeding
pairs, respectively.
The future for ospreys looks
bright, as DNR staff observed
nest productivity at 498 sites
that produced at least 525
young.
Eckstein said for the second
straight year, nest success was
above average at 1.66 young per
successful nest.
Ospreys had an exceptional
year in east central and southeast
Wisconsin, where their numbers
are growing the fastest. Nest suc-
cess was 76% in central Wisconsin
and 72% in east central counties.
The average is 63%.
Eckstein said the higher popu-
lation growth in central counties is
due to the installation of more
man-made nesting structures, as
well as less competition from ea-
gles. He said 90% of the ospreys in
that part of the state nest on man-
made platforms, usually on power
lines and communication towers.
The osprey, also known as the
fish hawk, has enhanced many a
fishing trip with its unique hunt-
ing style. Spotting a fish below the
surface, they cock their wings into
a W pattern and free-fall toward
the water, plunging as deep as
three or four feet below the sur-
face to grab a fish.
While the fish hawk has its
share of admirers, its popularity
pales in comparison to the Ameri-
can bald eagle not only our na-
tional symbol, but a bird of more
beauty, power and grace.
Whether soaring high on the
wind currents or diving toward a
wounded fish on the waters sur-
face, the eagle draws more atten-
tion than any other bird.
Eagles have the capability of
producing some defining moments
in life times on the pier or in
the boat that one will never forget.
The recovery of the bald eagle
from the days of harmful pesti-
cides and lost habitat is one of the
nations great conservation stories.
Today, we have as many as four
pairs of eagles nesting on one in-
land lake.
How blessed we are to live,
work and play in the three
counties with the highest con-
centration of eagles and os-
preys in Wisconsin.

Summer passes quickly, so
owners of larger waterfront
piers are encouraged to learn
now if they qualify for a free,
one-time registration of piers
that exceed size standards set
in 2004, state habitat protec-
tion officials say.
While the registration
deadlines have been extended
to April 1, 2012, its easier to
measure your pier in the sum-
mer to see if it qualifies to be
registered, said Martye Grif-
fin, who coordinates the pier
registration program for the
Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR).
The vast majority of piers
statewide do not need to be
registered because they fit the
size standards that lawmak-
ers established in 2004 for
piers to be exempt from state
permitting processes.
Lawmakers created the
free, one-time registration
process to grandfather in most
of the larger existing piers
that exceeded the size stan-
dards. Having the pier regis-
tered protects property own-
ers if neighbors or others com-
plain about the piers size in
future years, and allows the
DNR and local governments
to know the larger pier is
legal.
Piers exempt from any per-
mitting and that do not need
to be registered are a maxi-
mum of 6 feet wide; can have a
loading platform up to 8 feet
wide; dont interfere with
neighbors or public boating
and fishing; and have no more
than two boat slips for the
first 50 feet of shoreline
frontage owned and an addi-
tional boat slip for every full
50 feet owned thereafter, Grif-
fin said.
Larger piers that dont fit
these standards may qualify
for the free, one-time registra-
tion. To qualify for registra-
tion, these piers must have
been first placed in the water
before February 2004 and
meet additional dimensional
limits.
A downloadable registra-
tion form and other materials
to complete the registration
process are available on the
Piers, Docks and Wharves reg-
istration page of the DNR
website at dnr.wi.gov.

NOW ONLY $9.00 HOUR
Mark Baldock was 3 years
old when he started fishing.
His parents put a rod in his
hand when they went to a
cabin on a lake for vacation. I
caught a yellow perch, and I
was hooked, Baldock re-
called.
Now he gets other people
hooked on fishing. Baldock
has taught nearly 40,000
youths about fish and fishing
during his eight years work-
ing for Wisconsins fisheries
management program.
As the Department of Nat-
ural Resources (DNR) urban
fishing coordinator in 2005
and 2006, Baldock worked
with school and Scout groups,
conducted youth fishing clin-
ics and events, and ran DNR
fishing activities at the Wis-
consin State Fair and the Mil-
waukee Journal-Sentinel
Sports Show.
Now an advanced fisheries
technician at the DNRs Hori-
con office, Baldock still takes
several school groups fishing
each year, helps out with fish-
ing events at the MacKenzie
Environmental Education
Center near Poynette, and
serves as fishing camp direc-
tor for the Wisconsin Outdoor
Youth Expo, which brings
3,500 fourth- and fifth-
graders from all over the state
for two days of outdoor experi-
ences.
Baldock makes the time to
take his niece out fishing, and
passes on his tips for helping
make youths first fishing trip
a success.
Fishing with your kids is a
great way for a family to come
together and to connect with
themselves and with the nat-
ural world around them.
Bluegill are the most-caught
species in the state of Wiscon-
sin, so if you are looking for as
close to a sure thing as you
can get, hedge your bets on
these readily feeding fish the
next time you go out, said
Baldock.
Keep it simple
When fishing with chil-
dren, the most important
thing to remember is to keep
it simple, he said.
You dont have to have the
most advanced tackle and
electronics to fish for bluegill
just an old rod and some
bait, said Baldock.
Ultralight rods are perfect
for children to fish with. The
rods are usually shorter and,
when a fish gets on the hook,
it will make it feel like a tro-
phy every time, he said.
Use a bobber, small hook,
and a BB-sized sinker for your
tackle. The bobber should be
relatively small so that it
doesnt spook the fish. A bob-
ber is great because it gives a
visual indication of a bite that
kids can see and get excited
about. Many foam bobbers
also have weighted bottoms so
that even your little one can
cast it a country mile, said
Baldock.
For the hooks, a small size
8 or 10 octopus hook is perfect
for bluegill. They are small
enough for a bluegill to take
it, said Baldock, but not so
small that they will swallow it
every time.
Bluegill will hit a variety
of baits, so that is the easy
part. They will gobble up gar-
den worms, nightcrawlers,
small minnows, grubs or
leeches. Try collecting some
worms from your driveway
after a rainstorm for a free
sample. If you dont want to
use live bait, they will also hit
any number of artificial lures.
Flies, mini-mites and plastics
such as Berkley power bait
work just as well on bluegill,
said Baldock.
Where to fish
Get a line on good places to
take youths fishing by check-
ing the Take Me Fishing page
of the DNR website, reminded
Baldock.
Once youre at your spot,
where to find the fish? Just
check the shoreline area.
Bluegills spawn in the shal-
lows from late May through
August. Just cast near weed
lines and docks, and youll be
sure to catch some, he said.
Also, make sure to take
some patience, stressed Bal-
dock.
Kids are going to foul up
their line at some point or get
caught on weeds or a dock. We
have all done that, even as
grown-ups, so laugh it off.
Make sure to bring a pair of
pliers, because kids attention
span can be limited, and they
may miss the bite, allowing
the bluegill to swallow it. If it
is too far down, just cut the
line, tie on a new hook and
give them encouragement, he
said.
Dont be afraid to mix it up
as well, reminded Baldock.
If the fish arent biting
well, point out birds or turtles
to keep them interested and
provide a lasting memory.
Once they get one in the boat,
give them the opportunity to
look at the fish. Have a buck-
et on board that you can fill
with water and let the kid get
the chance for hands-on expe-
rience with it. Show them how
to properly hold a fish, so that
the spiny rays of the fins dont
poke them. Ask them to tell
you why the fish is shaped
that way or what its color pat-
tern means youll be sur-
prised what they come up
with, said Baldock.
Lastly, make sure to have
plenty of water, juice and
snacks on board.
Bring sunscreen and a
towel in case it gets hot and
they want to take a dip in the
lake. Have some rags to clean
hands after they touch fish or
the bait. Let them pick one
spot on the lake to try and
fish. They might find the se-
cret hot spot. If it looks like
you are having fun, they will
have fun, said Baldock.

well as live bait, with slip bobber in the weeds.
Muskie action has been OK, but is just starting to recover
from that midsummer slump. The best chance for a trophy
fish remains after dark, but guides are now starting to see
some nice fish during the daytime. Bucktails remain the most
consistent producer, but surface baits also work very well at
this time of year. Look for weeds with a deep dropoff at the
end for best daytime results.
Panfish action is very good, with bluegills remaining the
most consistent producers. Worms or waxies in the weeds are
guaranteed to get fish on most lakes. Perch are in the deeper
weeds, biting on leeches or minnows. Crappies are using
mostly wood cover, so look for brush piles to hold these fish.
With the great weather, look for the nicest fishing week of
the summer so far.
Good luck and good fishin.

The Oneida County UW-
Extension has announced the
presence of a new tick-borne
disease called the Powassan
Pow virus, which is carried
by the deer tick and has had
six reported cases in Minneso-
ta from 2008-10.
Symptoms of the Pow virus
can include fever, headache,
vomiting, weakness, confu-
sion, loss of coordination,
speech difficulties and memo-
ry loss. Symptoms occur with-
in one to five weeks of an in-
fected ticks bite. The virus
also can cause encephalitis
and meningitis.
Deer ticks are already
known carriers of Lyme dis-
ease, which can present symp-
toms of muscle soreness, fa-
tigue, chills, joint pains and a
bulls-eye or solid-red rash,
usually expanding around the
tick bite.
These early signs usually
appear within a month of the
bite. For more information on
telling deer ticks apart from
wood ticks, Lyme disease and
tick prevention, visit the De-
partment of Natural Re-
sources website dnr.wi.gov.
Always call your doctor if
you see symptoms of tick-
borne diseases, said Oneida
UW-Extension horticulture
assistant Marissa Hatlen.
When youre enjoying the
outdoors, remember that
using tick-repellent bug
sprays, tucking pants into
footwear, wearing light-col-
ored clothing and checking
for ticks after being outdoors
for any length of time can pro-
tect you from ticks and the
diseases they can carry.
Hatlen also recommended
putting clothes in a dryer on
high heat for five minutes.
Ticks will get stuck in the lint
trap, she said.

Races washed out
at TNT Speedway
With a strong contingent of
drivers coming from the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan,
northern Wisconsin drivers
were looking to win the Bor-
der Battle at Eagle River
Speedway last Thursday
night.
When the results were all
in, northern Wisconsin drivers
won all five of the features.
With car problems forcing
Jason Zdroik out of last
weeks Hartman Well Drilling
and Pumps B-Mods Special,
the 17-year Eagle River veter-
an was out to prove that he is
still one of the top B-Mods
drivers in the entire nation.
Zdroik not only won the B-
Mods feature, his closest com-
petitor was nearly one-half of
a lap back. That was fellow
Eagle River driver, Bruce Bel-
land.
Unlike in the past, Zdroik
made the passes early on in
the race from the high side of
the track. Zdroik said he had
no fear of the concrete wall.
I found more bite at the
top, he said. Plus, I wanted
to try a different line in prepa-
ration of the big Auto Value
Open Mod Special coming up
on Tuesday Night.
Dustin Miller of
Rhinelander won his ninth
consecutive Pure Stocks fea-
ture. Ryan Valeria and Don
Scharf of Eagle River took sec-
ond and third respectively.
Robby Resch of Antigo took
the Micro Sprint 600 feature.
Earlier in the night, Mike
Hicks of Eagle River came
three one-hundredths of a sec-
ond off matching Reschs track
record of 14.55 seconds. Hicks
was clocked at more than 94
mph en route to the Micro
Sprints heat win.
Ty Springers winning
streak came to an end at the
hands of Tanner Resch in the
Junior Sprints heat reace.
However, Springer came back
to win the feature. Tanner
took a second, and Jesse Liss
of Escanaba, Mich., took third.
The lone surprise of the
night was in the Street Stocks
feature, where Dennis
LaCrosse of Eagle River de-
feated one of the top Street
Stocks drivers in the nation,
Jeff Klopstein of Baraga,
Mich.
Even after LaCrosses ini-
tial heat win, fans expected
another battle between Klop-
stein, Nick Visser of Elcho,
and Ben Pitlik of Eagle River.
LaCrosse not only won the
Street Stocks feature, the only
thing that stopped him from
running away from the rest of
the field was a caution mid-
way through the race.
I sure didnt want to see
that yellow come out, said
LaCrosse from the Auto Value
Victory Lane. I didnt know
Visser was that close until the
final turn on the final lap.
Visser planted his car on
the low side of the tight fourth
corner while LaCrosse held a
steady line in the middle of
the track. LaCrosse held Viss-
er off by less then a car length
at the finish line.

Four individuals dedicated to the sport of hockey will
be inducted to the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame in
Eagle River Saturday, Sept. 10.
Those named include Wayne Caufield of Greendale,
Jerry Kennedy of Madison, Gregg Nelson of Randolph
and Mary Ann Robinson of Manitowoc, the first woman
to be inducted into the hall of fame. These four individu-
als and their families will be the guests of honor at cere-
monies planned for Eagle River.
The Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in
1975 and is housed in the Eagle River Sports Arena.
The hall was established to honor outstanding individu-
als responsible for the development, growth and success
of amateur ice hockey in Wisconsin. The ceremonies in
Eagle River include a golf tournament, banquet and the
induction ceremony. All events are open to the public.
Caufield is a native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario,
Canada, and moved to Wisconsin in November 1972 to
be a player/coach for the Milwaukee Admirals and
played through the 1976-77 season. Caufield became in-
volved with the Southeastern Hockey Association of
Wisconsin in Milwaukee. In 1989, he became the associ-
ation coach for Pius XI High School and continued
through the 1992-93 season.
Kennedy was born and raised on the east side of
Madison. He served on the Dane County Youth Hockey
Council (now Region 4 Youth Hockey Council) for more
than 30 years, and spent two years as president.
Kennedy has served on the Wisconsin Amateur Hockey
Association (WAHA) board since 1988, and is chairman
of the State Tournament Committee, and the vice presi-
dent for the bantam level.
Nelson was born in St. Paul, Minn., where he played
youth hockey in Hayden Heights and was a member of
the St. Paul City champion team. Following high school
at Fond du Lac Goodrich High School, Nelson went on
to play college hockey for Badger Bob Johnson at the
University of Wisconsin.
Robinson, the first female to be inducted to hall of
ffame, was born in Illinois and settled in Manitowoc.
Robinson was elected to the WAHA board in 1995 as a
regional director, and became the vice president and di-
rector of girls/womens hockey in 1999.
Questions about tickets for the hall of fame activities
can be directed to Joe Boxrucker at (715) 479-9772 or
Pat Weber at (715) 479-8912.

PINES FOOTBALL The Northland Pines football team started
practice last week. On Thursday night, Frank Puffer, an assistant
coach, demonstrated a lunge exercise for players (above), a
Pines receiver made a nice catch in motion (left) and the Eagles
performed a bear crawl across the width of the field and back for
endurance (below). The Eagles will scrimmage Niagara and
Phillips at Northland Pines High School Saturday, Aug. 13, at 1
p.m. Their first regular-season game will be at home against
Three Lakes Friday, Aug. 19, at 7 p.m.

Four new members will be
inducted into the Internation-
al Snowmobile Hall of Fame
Saturday, Sept. 17, at the
World Snowmobile Headquar-
ters in Eagle River.
The induction weekend,
Sept. 16-18, will be filled with
activities including past in-
ductee gatherings, special in-
door seating at the vintage
drag races, shopping poker
runs, pontoon boat rides on the
Chain of Lakes, autograph ses-
sions, gala receptions, a ban-
quet and induction ceremonies.
Organizers say they expect
to see 160-plus snowmobilers
at the event, and all snowmo-
bile enthusiasts are welcome
to attend.
The inductees include Gor-
don Radtke of Wausau, Wayne
Davis of Minneapolis, Minn.,
Bill Manson of Rockford, Mich.,
and Les Pinz of Isle, Minn.
Radtke, an avid snowmobil-
er, was hired at Bombardier
Ski-Doo in the service depart-
ment 30 years ago. He has
been instrumental in the edu-
cation and dissemination of
Ski-Doo technology and ser-
vice information to dealers,
technicians and the media.
Radtke is the go-to person
when a service problem or
question arises and he is will-
ing to help all snowmobilers
who call on his wealth of
knowledge about their sleds.
Davis was a successful sled
racer for eight years, but his ca-
reer ended with a crash in 1981
that broke both of his arms.
When not racing, Davis had
always taken pictures of the
races and racers. His camera
skills were noticed by Yama-
ha, who hired him to shoot for
them. Soon Davis was shoot-
ing for all four brands, several
magazines and other sports
activities, including the World
Championship Snowmobile
Derby in Eagle River.
In 1982, he gave up his job
as a robotics engineer and
programmer to pursue his
passion of photography.
Manson was instrumental
in forming the Michigan Snow-
mobile Association (MSA) in
1982 that merged three groups
into one. He has worked his
way up through all phases and
positions of MSA and is now its
executive director.
Manson has been instru-
mental in creating milestones
for the snowmobiling commu-
nity and now chairs several
committees and organiza-
tions. He was named Interna-
tional Snowmobiler of the
Year in 1990 and in 1995 was
selected as the Michigan
Snowmobiler of the Year.
Pinz got his start in the
sport of snowmobiling 46 years
ago on a Polaris Lil Andy. Soon
after, his family started a snow-
mobile dealership, selling Po-
laris and Scorpion.
From 1966 through 1976
Pinz raced both Polaris and
Scorpion, winning high point
honors several years and a
World Series Class Champi-
onship in 1971. He has been a
local club member for 37 years
and has served in all offices of
the club. He has a collection of
more than 100 antique and
vintage sleds, including proto-
types from Polaris, Scorpion
and Arctic Cat.
Pinz takes pride in helping
others with his knowledge of
most of the brands. He spends
many hours teaching the his-
tory of snowmobiling.

THE FOLLOWING piece,
titled Ten Cannots, was
written in 1916 by the Rev.
William J.H. Boetcker, a Pres-
byterian clergyman who had
given up the pulpit to lecture
on industrial relations. Some
people have credited the arti-
cle to Abraham Lincoln, but I
do not believe that is true.
I thought this message was
especially appropriate now
considering the turmoil weve
experienced the past few
months, both in Madison and
Washington. To our future po-
litical candidates, you could
use the following as a proven
platform for your campaign.
You cannot bring about
prosperity by discouraging
thrift. You cannot help small
men by tearing down big
men.
You cannot strengthen the
weak by weakening the
strong. You cannot lift the
wage earner by pulling down
the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor
man by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trou-
ble by spending more than
your income.
You cannot further the
brotherhood of man by incit-
ing class hatred. You cannot
establish security on bor-
rowed money.
You cannot build character
and courage by taking away
mens initiative and indepen-
dence. You cannot help men
permanently by doing for
them what they could and
should do for themselves.

HERE IS ANOTHER bit of
wisdom that has been in my
note file since 1987. It is ti-
tled Business Forecast and
is as true today as it was back
then. No author was given.
Business will continue to
go where invited and remain
where appreciated. Reputa-
tions will continue to be made
by many acts and lost by just
one.
People will go right on pre-
ferring to do business with
friends. Go-givers will become
the best go-getters.
The extra mile will have no
traffic jams. Performance will
continue to outsell promises.
Enthusiasm will remain as
contagious as ever. Know-how
will surpass guess-how.
Trust, not tricks, will keep
customers loyal. Quality will
be prized as a precious pos-
session.

MAYBE THIS HAS hap-
pened to you? While I was
shopping in a pharmacy, a
couple of teenagers came in. I
dont think they were local
teens, but I cant be sure.
They were dressed in
leather, chains and safety
pins. The boy (I think it was a
boy) had blue-and-purple
spiked hair, and the girls hair
was bright yellow. Suddenly
the boy picked up a pair of
sunglasses and tried them on.
What do you think of
these? he asked his girl-
friend.
Take them off! she
howled. They make you look
ridiculous.

WE SEEM TO be in an age
of crisis. Hardly a week goes
by that we arent confronted
with yet another crisis. Be-
cause that is happening, we
are having a crisis of confi-
dence. We have to believe
this too shall pass with
time.
Part of the problem is the
fact we have 24-7 news cover-
age on a bevy of stations. We
hear about the worlds prob-
lems from the time we get up
in the morning until the time
we go to bed. We need to keep
these things in perspective.
Remember this.
I woke up early today, ex-
cited over all I get to do be-
fore the clock strikes mid-
night. I have responsibilities
to fulfill today. My job is to
choose what kind of day I am
going to have.
Today I can complain be-
cause the weather is rainy or
I can be thankful that the
grass is getting watered for
free. I can feel sad that I
dont have more money or I
can be glad my finances en-
courage me to plan my pur-
chases wisely and guide me
away from waste.
I can grumble about my
health or I can rejoice that I
am alive. Today I can lament
over all that my parents did-
nt give me when I was grow-
ing up or I can feel grateful
that they allowed me to be
born. Today I can cry because
roses have thorns or I can
celebrate that thorns have
roses.
Today I can whine because
I have to go to work or I can
rejoice that I have a job to do.
I can murmur dejectedly be-
cause I have housework to do
or be thankful because I have
shelter for my mind and body.
Today stretches ahead of
me, waiting to be shaped. I
am the sculptor who gets to
do the shaping. I get to
choose what kind of day I will
have. Have a great day un-
less you have other plans.
Going the extra mile free of traffic jams
THE AUTOMOBILE in-
dustry always makes
changes in its new models,
but it isnt until 10 years
later that you realize cars
have gradually become differ-
ent. The tail fins of the 1960s
didnt disappear overnight.
I cant remember how
many cars Ive owned. A lot.
My memory of cars goes back
to the 30s before I was in
high school. I dont believe
the first car my parents
owned had a heater because
there was a bar across the
back of the front seat with a
blanket on it for people sit-
ting in back. Maybe the car
had heat in front but not in
back. Air conditioning was
unknown.
The windshield wipers
were not automatic and if
you wanted to clear rain from
the windshield, you twisted
the wipers by hand.
When you climbed into a
car in those days, you first
stepped on the running
board. If youve seen some of
those old Chicago gangster
movies, youve seen running
boards. Someone was always
standing on the running
board of one car, shooting at
a car careening down the
street ahead.
Radiator caps have disap-
peared. For many years, the
most distinguishing charac-
teristic of a car was the radi-
ator cap on the front of the
hood. They made ornaments
of them and each make had
its own. The temperature
gauge for the water in the ra-
diator was built into the hood
ornament on my parents
1935 Packard.
Every car came with a
crank. It was frequently nec-
essary to stick one end of the
crank into a hole behind the
front bumper and turn over
the cars engine by hand
until it started.
Cars werent any bigger
then, but there was more
room for passengers and less
room in the trunk for junk.
On many early models, the
trunk of a car was literally
Remembering
cars of yesteryear
Holperin still gets the nod,
but its not an easy decision
State Sen. Jim Holperin (D-Conover), who is
facing a recall election because he and 13 other
senators fled to Illinois to stall a bill that would
strip collective bargaining rights from some pub-
lic workers, will face Tea Party activist Kim
Simac of Eagle River in a special election next
Tuesday, Aug. 16.
In what has become one of the most perplex-
ing political battles in county history a Senate
race pitting two Vilas residents who differ greatly
in platform and political experience we are
supporting Holperin over Simac with a very
guarded endorsement.
Holperin gets the nod because of a proven,
extended record of service to the North Woods as
a representative and recently, a senator. He has
crossed party lines many times to support his
constituency, which historically has been more
conservative than liberal.
On the positive side, Holperin has proven
himself as a highly respected legislator. He works
hard and has a lot of passion for his mostly rural
district. He has fought the good fight for years on
tourism spending, education financing, environ-
mental protection, conservation initiatives, gun
ownership, working families, small business and
timber production, to name a few.
Besides, with Republicans already in control
of both houses and the governors office, a veter-
an such as Holperin is needed in Madison to pro-
vide some sort of checks and balances. As history
showed us in the late years of the Thompson ad-
ministration, having one party in total control is
a formula that is ripe for abuse.
The struggle, though, was trying to find an
acceptable reason for his decision to desert his
state and district by running to Illinois. We cant.
His allegiance to the teachers union and orga-
nized labor in general isnt shared by much of his
constituency. The mistake was certainly enough
reason for a recall, and it could cost him his seat.
Despite Holperins transgressions, we found
it difficult to support a challenger who has never
held public office on the state or local level. Being
politically active is great for a candidates party
of choice, but it doesnt ensure that person is
ready for a four-year term in the Senate. She
hasnt engaged in debates and some of her past
comments on public schools, Socal Security and
other issues have been alarming.
To her credit, Simac has given great expo-
sure in recent years to the platforms of the Re-
publican Party and the Tea Party. Shes worked
in small business, raised a family and has spent
most of her years in the trenches of life, like
most of her constituents.
Holperin, on the other hand, has those types
of attributes plus more. He directed Trees For To-
morrow and was Secretary of the Department of
Tourism. Hes a small business owner.
With our guarded endorsement wed like to
encourage Holperin should he retain his Sen-
ate seat to make better use of his vast experi-
ence. Certainly he knows by now the wild swings
of the political pendulum, so that even the poten-
tial loss of collective bargaining rights should not
have caused him to desert the state.
Our View
Behind the editorial we
Members of the Vilas County News-Review
editorial board include Publisher Kurt Krueger,
Editor Gary Ridderbusch and Assistant Editor
Anthony Drew.
I HAVE never been much
of one for wondering how the
other half lives because, es-
sentially, Ive always been
pretty happy with the way I
live.
Last weekend, though, I
got to look into the lives of
the other half twice.
It began Saturday morning
with Greg Harmston he
who was the lousy turkey
guide this spring and Case
Harmston who, at age 8, is a
budding orator and profes-
sional fisherman.
As you all know, almost all
of my fishing time is spent
working quiet waters with
my Old Town square-stern
row canoe.
That was not the case Sat-
urday morning. Instead of
doing all the rowing, I sat in
a comfortable pedestal swivel
seat and flung assorted lures
while I watched Greg toggle
an electric motor as we drift-
ed across weed beds and
gravel bars that are never-
fail spots.
There was a cooler full of
orange soda and cheese
curds, an electrically aerated
live well and a 40-horse
motor to whisk us from one
end of the lake to the other.
I first fished with Greg
when he was not a whole lot
older than Case, and I first
fished with Case out of my
Old Town when he was 3.
On that first outing, Case
was already an accomplished
caster with his adult-sized
spin-cast outfit. He fired
casts in every direction, and
even caught a couple of bass.
The only question was
which direction the casts
were going to go. Sometimes
it was straight up, sometimes
backward and sometimes re-
motely close to the aim point.
Some things havent
changed. Case is still a gung-
ho angler, and he is still quite
the talker, only now his vo-
cabulary is greatly expanded.
He uses it all and often as he
regales you with everything
you wanted to know about ev-
erything.
In other words, he keeps
you thoroughly entertained
at all times.
He is also still quite the
accomplished caster. Some-

times they go straight up,
sometimes backward and
sometimes close to where hes
aiming. Sometimes they dont
go anywhere at all, such as the
cast which ended with his
hooks in the back of my shirt
and another time when said
hooks caught the back of
Gregs shirt.
It was only a four-hour
morning outing we went on
Saturday, but it was enough to
remind me why Case and his
family are such special friends,
even if they do use such new-
fangled contraptions as out-
board motors and the like.
Sunday I experienced a lit-
tle bit of another half of the
world, fishing with two boys
who live in two of the worlds
largest cities London, Eng-
land, and New York, N.Y.
My wife and I became
friends with the Perry family
several years ago when they
bought a cottage on Plum
Lake. This year, their friends,
the Moseley family from Lon-
don, joined them on vacation
in Wisconsin.
Sunday I set off in the Old
Town yep, back to the non-
motorized half of life with
13-year-old Jack Perry and 17-
year-old Josh Moseley to see if
we could find some friendly
largemouth bass and bluegills.
We found both.
Neither had ever used
leeches as bait before, but Jack
dove right in and stuck them
on his floating jig with
aplomb. Josh wasnt too anx-
ious to deal with leeches at
first and settled for fishing
with crawlers.
After a half-hour of fishing,
it looked like Jack was going to
get tossed overboard as he
landed four largemouth
three on his first three casts
while Josh and I totaled one
miniscule bass between us.
Eventually, luck turned, but
as is the case with most boys,
there was a little friendly ri-
valry going on, and Jack im-
pressed on both Josh and me
that he had caught eight of
the bass, while Josh tallied
seven and the lowly adult
mentor just six when we quit
Lake One.
At Lake Two, it was time to
get serious with bluegills. The
boys started with waxies and
bobbers, while I unleashed my
secret weapon, the wily tube
jig. We were all catching
bluegills, but it didnt take
long for the boys to figure out
the old geezer was catching
twice as many on the plain
tube jig.
Soon, all three of us were jig-
ging, and Josh, especially,
caught on to the technique
rapidly. In short order, the
floating fish basket had 14
good keepers, all 8 to 10 inches.
For me, it was a very inter-
esting day, fishing with two
big-city kids. They surprised
me in several ways.
For one thing, though they
might not be that way around
home all the time, they were
two of the most polite kids Ive
ever had in my boat. Also, un-
like a lot of adults I fish with,
they listened to whatever ad-
vice I offered and used it to
good advantage.
Most of all, I enjoyed talk-
ing with them about their nor-
mal environments, especially
Josh, since his home is decid-
edly exotic to this North Wis-
consin jack pine savage.
Of course, I could not let ei-
ther lad go without finding
something to give them grief
about. With Jack it was boxer
shorts sticking up 6 inches
above his khaki shorts, while
with Josh, it was earrings in
each ear. Those things, natu-
rally, point out they are from a
half of the world which this
old fisherman will never quite
understand.
When all was said and
done, I wrapped up the week-
end having had a great time
with friends from the other
half, and I would venture to
say I was the richer for it.
Now its back to an oar-pow-
ered canoe and a baliwick with
more trees than people. Thats
my half of the world.
that a boxlike appendage
attached to the rear of the car.
Most cars had small, fold-
down seats in back and you
could squeeze five people in
back and three up front. The
most fun of all was a rumble
seat. Why did they abandon
something that was such a joy?
The spare tire was carried
on the running board in front
of the drivers door and sank
into an indentation in the
fender. They were called
fenders after the word
mudguard was phased out.
The best thing about fenders
was, if you dented one, you
could replace it. Now the
metal part that covers the
front wheels is so elaborate
and so integrated into the
whole body of the car that
you have to buy a new car if
you dent one.
In spite of all the cosmetic
changes, the speed a car can
travel has changed less than
most other features. In 1938,
I clearly recall driving a
Chevrolet we owned 80 mph.
Ive seldom driven a car
faster in the 50-odd years
since then.
The first car I ever bought
was right after World War II.
Discharged as a sergeant, I
sold a book to MGM in Holly-
wood and, with some of the
money, I bought one of the last
cars built before the war, a
1942 Chrysler New Yorker. It
was a long, sleek, black beauty
with blue velvet upholstery
that had been owned by a fu-
neral director whod never
driven it more than 17 mph.
I should have put it in moth-
balls and brought it out now.

materials were the target of a
mean-spirited attack of vandal-
ism on the Three Lakes Chain
around Tuesday, July 26. The
wooden box containing informa-
tional materials was burned.
Also, profane graffiti was
spray-painted on the informa-
tion kiosk placed there to in-
form boaters about laws that
will help keep the Three Lakes
Chain free of invasive species.
The damage is not great, but
the message is alarming.
Are there people out there
who would like our volunteers
to stop the hard work they do so
boaters can get into the water
45 seconds quicker by not deal-
ing with our volunteers? I hope
not. We have 35 people who
give up their precious summer
weekends to work for no pay
and not much recognition to
keep our Chain clean.
This was a slap in the face to
not only those people but to ev-
eryone who cherishes the natu-
ral beauty of our lakes.
Some people said it was
probably a teenage prank. I
think not! Last year, our
teenagers from Three Lakes do-
nated 345 hours at these land-
ings to keep our lakes clean.
These fine young ladies and
gentlemen would have no part
of this type of behavior. I feel
this act was directed at those
people who want to keep our
Chain as it was intended to be.
Perhaps we should not dwell
on one act of vandalism, but
think about the generous peo-
ple who give of themselves
every weekend in the summer.

Dear Editor:
If you have recently been to
the St. Germain town dump,
you have noticed that we have a
new, contracted carrier, and that
prices have increased subtan-
tially. This increase in price may
make it not affordable to some.
The prices for dumping are:
$3 for any-size bag under 30
pounds. If its a prepurchased
St. Germain bag under 30
pounds, it is an additional dol-
lar. Any bag over 30 pounds is
$5. Please note that the new
carrier does not have a scale to
weigh bags.
To express your concerns re-
garding this matter, call Walt
Camp, town chairman, or a
town supervisor.
The next town board meet-
ing will be held Aug. 8 at 5 p.m.
in the community center.
Please attend to further dis-
cuss these issues.

could have been a nightmare
became a blessing. Three

Dear Editor:
This has been a great year
for the Northland Pines
Community Garden. After
many hours of working
through details and ap-
provals, the community gar-
den went from concept to a
reality.
We were fortunate to ob-
tain enough donations and
interested gardeners to es-
tablish the community gar-
den on the grounds of the
Northland Pines High
School.
We have 16 plots that are
leased to gardeners who are
willing to grow their own
produce and volunteer hours
to work in the teaching gar-
den portion of the project.
The gardens are being
used this summer, in con-
junction with the YMCA
Youth Camp, for instruction
and hands-on learning. The
produce grown from the
teaching part of the gardens
will be donated to the local
food pantry, providing fresh
vegetables for their clients.
One of the grants we re-
ceived for the community
garden that came from the 4-
H organization related to
water conservation. Part of
the funds received was for
the purchase of rain barrels,
creating a rain garden and
instruction to children and
adults about the benefits of
these conservation tools.
This past week, it was dis-
covered that one of the rain
barrels, purchased with the
grant monies, was gone.
Theft leaves one with a feel-
ing of violation. This theft
not only robs the community
garden, but our community
at large.
The members of the North-
land Pines Community Gar-
den hope that this is an iso-
lated incident.
Continued trust in our
neighbors encourages us to
support each other in times
of need.

WATERSMEET, MICH.
The Ottawa National Forest
welcomes everyone to attend
its anniversary celebration to
be held Saturday, Aug. 13, at
the Ottawa Visitor Center in
Watersmeet, Mich.
This daylong event will cele-
brate the Ottawas 80th an-
niversary, as well as the 100th
anniversary of the Weeks Act.
The revolutionary law en-
abled the federal government,
for the first time, to acquire
eroded, cutover private lands
and restore them to the nation-
al forests people enjoy today.
The Ottawa was born from
the Weeks Act and, as we cele-
brate our 80th anniversary, it
is only fitting that we acknowl-
edge this groundbreaking piece
of legislation that gave us our
start, said Lisa Klaus, Ottawa
National Forest public affairs
officer.
Beginning at 10:30 a.m.,
Skippy and Dave (a ventrilo-
quist act) will open up with a
family presentation on some
history of the country, including
music and audience interaction.
Throughout the day, there
will be showings of Centennial
Green, a film on the history of
the Forest Service, as well as
activities for youths and the
entire family.
A native rice demonstration,
presentations by Jeff Richter
(North Woods photographer),
games and an appearance by
Smokey Bear are also scheduled.

To remind motorists that
obeying traffic signs and sig-
nals at intersections can be a
matter of life or death, the fed-
eral Highway Administration
has designated Aug. 7-13 Na-
tional Stop on Red Week.
Motor vehicle crashes at in-
tersections cause approximate-
ly 20% of all traffic deaths na-
tionwide each year, according
to the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
Whether on rural roads or
city streets, drivers must take
extra precautions at intersec-
tions to avoid crashes, said
Capt. Tim Carnahan of the
State Patrol North Central Re-
gion/Wausau Post in Wausau.
Carnahan added that crash-
es at intersections cause many
deaths and injuries because ve-
hicles often are hit in the side
where there is less protection
for drivers and passengers.
Failing to obey a red light,
stop sign or other traffic control
device at an intersection is not
only dangerous, its expensive,
according to Carnahan.
A violation for failing to stop
completely for a traffic signal,
sign or marking costs $175.30
with three demerit points as-
sessed on the drivers record,
according to state law. Commit-
ting a second offense within a
year costs $213.10 with anoth-
er three points.
The key to preventing in-
tersection crashes is quite sim-
ple, said Carnahan. Drivers
must keep an alert eye on traf-
fic moving into, through and
out of the intersection. They
also must obey all traffic sig-
nals and signs.
Drivers should make it a
habit to stop completely on red
and not race through a yellow
light to beat a red light, said
Carnahan. At a yellow light,
drivers must stop unless
theyre so close to the intersec-
tion that they cant stop safely.

to stay attentive at intersections

I took a long drive today through the hills that sur-
round our town. The trees are full and deep green.
Cows were grazing peacefully in meadows. The corn is
taller than I am. Flowers grace the farmhouse porches
and the sun highlights the fields.
There is absolutely nothing like driving the hills
here in our glorious state. Bill and I lived in Ouray,
Colo., for four years. Now that is a magnificent area.
Our town was surrounded by fourteeners (mountain
peaks over 14,000 feet high) and hiking in those
mountains was exhilarating. I have also lived in the
city of Chicago not too far from Lake Michigan. In
fact, if I stood in just the right spot I could see the
lake from my apartment. However, with all the beauty
of Colorado and all a big city offers, I love my Wiscon-
sin hills.
Bill and I got addicted to Sunday drives. We would
randomly point the car in one direction and just start
driving the back roads until it was time to stop for
lunch and then find our way home. This state has it
all lakes (big and small), rivers, hiking, fishing, ca-
noeing, and so much more. There is something for ev-
eryone. But what I like best about Wisconsin is the
down-home friendliness of the people. Other parts of
the country cannot offer that in such abundance.
I so admire a local group here called Friends of the
Lower Wisconsin (FLOW) as it regularly recruits vol-
unteers to clean up after storms and after those indi-
viduals, towns and corporations that dump trash of all
kinds into the waters. This weekend I will be watch-
ing a preview of a new documentary focused on the
river. It will appear on PBS soon and was created here
in Spring Green by Dave Erickson who has a host of
documentaries to his credit. This preview is free, but
freewill offerings to support FLOW will be welcomed.
I dream of taking a river ride some day, from Spring
Green to the Mississippi. A lunch stop on one of the
many sandbars will be a treat when that day arrives.
So where am I going with this? Too often we fail to
appreciate what is right under our noses. We travel to
Europe, all over the country, to the Far East to see the
sites each of those wonderful places has to offer. But
right here in our own state one can find beauty, histo-
ry, recreation, cultural experiences all within a
short drive from home. So taking care of these assets
matters.
Throwing trash along the road is disgraceful. Toss-
ing bottles and more into the river slowly destroys the
beauty and health of the water. There are so many
small ways to keep our state beautiful. Stop using
Our beautiful state

Joey Salat of Land O Lakes
has been selected as one of five
finalists for the Backyard
Game of the Year contest.
The contest, offered by CLIF
Kid
, maker of organic snacks

for children, included children
and their parents from 43
states.
The five finalists will unveil
their games Saturday, Aug. 27,
at Madison Square Park in
New York, N.Y., for the chance
to win a $10,000 scholarship.
Joey, who will be a fifth-
grade student at Land O
Lakes Elementary School this
year, was selected with his orig-
inal game, Nature to Nature.
Joey is affectionately re-
ferred to by his fellow class-
mates and teachers as Bear
Grylls Jr., shared his mother,
Carolee Salat. To say he loves
the outdoors would be an un-
derstatement.
According to Carolee Salat,
Joey loves to swim, kayak, bike
and camp. He already has ca-
noed down the Missouri River.
Winter is by far his favorite
season. He skis (both cross-
country and downhill), builds
quinzhees, sleds and ice
skates, said his mother.
Children are welcome to at-
tend the contest playoffs in
New York with their parents to
play the next generation of
backyard games and meet
Julie Foudy, three-time U.S.
Olympic soccer medalist, moth-
er and official team captain of
the Backyard Game of the Year
playoffs.
Most little boys dream of
being baseball players or fire-
men when they grow up, stat-
ed Carolee Salat. Joey dreams

Ministry Eagle River
Memorial Hospital will hold a
Community Blood Drive Fri-
day, Aug. 12, from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m.
The blood drive will be held
in a new location across from
the hospital in the lower level
of the Medical Arts Building,
located at 150 Hospital Road
in Eagle River. Donors should
park and enter from the lower
level.
One hundred percent of the
blood used by the hospital is
provided by Northwoods Com-
munity Blood Center Inc.
We always work to have
an eight- to 10-day supply of
blood, and this can be tough to
maintain in August, when
many people go on vacation
and schools arent back in ses-
sion. Help out by donating
blood Friday. Itll take less
than an hour, and its for a
great cause, said Jan Hadsell
of the blood center.
Blood donors must be at
least 17 years old (16 with
parental permission), weigh
at least 110 pounds, be in gen-
eral good health, and take
photo identification. Donors
should eat a regular meal and
drink plenty of fluids prior to
donating.
According to the blood cen-
ter, scheduling an appoint-
ment in advance reduces wait-
ing time, keeping the total
time required for a donation to
less than an hour. Walk-in
donors also are welcome.
Donation appointments are
recommended by the center,
and may be made by calling
Christine at (715) 479-0230 or
the Community Blood Center
at 1-(800) 280-4102, or by
going to save3lives.org.

Nicolet Area Technical Col-
lege reported that it continues
to be popular with recent high
school graduates as more
than half of the 2007 graduat-
ing seniors in the Nicolet dis-
trict attended a technical col-
lege within three years of
graduation.
The vast majority of these
enrolled at Nicolet College, ac-
cording to a recently released
state report.
This tells us that students
continue to see the value of a
Nicolet education, said Nicolet
College President Elizabeth
Burmaster. High-quality edu-
cation combined with afford-
able tuition makes Nicolet very
attractive for students seeking
the job training that will help
them get ahead in life.
Of the 2007 graduating
class, 55.2%, or 557 students,
enrolled in the technical col-
lege system, predominantly
Nicolet College, which led all
16 of the states technical col-
leges, on a percentage basis,
in attracting high school grad-
uates into the tech system.
We hear from employers
time and again that a skilled
workforce is vital for their
success, said Burmaster. Its
encouraging to see such a
large number of young adults
attend Nicolet.
The latest survey of 2010
Nicolet College graduates
shows that 78% have secured
employment in the district.
The local school-by-school
breakdown for the 2007 high
school graduating classes at-
tending a technical college,
within three years of gradua-
tion is as follows: Northland
Pines, 44.4%, 71 of 160 gradu-
ates; Phelps, 23%, three of 13
graduates; Three Lakes,
59.7%, 40 of 67 graduates;
Rhinelander, 63.2%, 153 of
242 graduates; and Lakeland,
50.8%, 119 of 234 graduates.

The YMCA of the North-
woods will run a bus excursion
to the Keweenaw Peninsula in
the Upper Peninsula of Michi-
gan Thursday, Aug. 18.
If you havent been to this
beautiful area, you are sure to
be awestruck, said trip coor-
dinator Marilyn Duschl. This
will be a full day of tours and
adventures for people of all
ages.
The coach bus will leave the
Rhinelander Y at 7:30 a.m.,
with a pickup at Northland
Pines High School at 8 a.m.
The group will travel to
Calumet, Mich., for a guided
tour. Calumet was once at the
center of the mining industry
of the U.P. and has many his-
toric buildings and museums.
Following a pasty lunch,
the group will travel to Cop-
per Harbor for a self-guided
tour of Fort Wilkins State
Park. The park contains the
Fort Wilkins Historic Com-
plex, which was once an active
U.S. Army post built to keep
the peace in Michigans Cop-
per Country.
Dinner will be at Harbor
Haus, with its view of Lake
Superior. On the return trip,
the bus will go up Brockway
Mountain for a view before
the return trip to Eagle River
and Rhinelander.
The estimated time to arrive
back in Eagle River is 8:30 p.m.
and Rhinelander at 9 p.m.
The cost for the bus, guided
tour and entrance to the park
is $55. Lunch and dinner will
be extra. Participants should
register before Aug. 12 to be
assured a reservation. The
trip is open to anyone in the
community.

YMCA to host U.P. bus excursion
Ariel Cunningham, a 2007
graduate of Three Lakes High
School, left for Russia this
past March to serve as a mis-
sionary.
Cunningham joined 2,640
young men and women train-
ing to be missionaries in the
Missionary Training Center
(MTC) in Provo, Utah.
Last August when Cun-
ningham sent in her papers,
she had no idea where she
would be called to serve and
later received a letter saying
that she would be called to
serve the Russian people in
the Russian Rostov-Na-Donu
Mission for 18 months.
The MTC teaches 52 differ-
ent languages. Students stay
at the MTC from three weeks
to three months depending on
the difficulty of the language
they are studying and are in
class for about eight hours a
day. Cunningham spent 10
weeks in the MTC studying
Russian.
The missionaries voluntari-
ly serve up to two years, work-
ing about a 64-hour week to
preach the gospel of Jesus
Christ all over the world with-
out pay.
Shortly before leaving the
United States, Cunningham
wrote, I hope that I am ready
in some way to bring hope and
happiness to the people in Rus-
sia through the gospel of Jesus
Christ. I am excited to do all I
can to lift the hearts and spirits
of those I meet in this former
Soviet Union nation.
She has been in Russia for
more than eight weeks and
has been to many homes
where the whole family lives
in only one room and where
the only furniture to sit on are
the beds.
Cunningham said she loves
the Russian people and is
thankful to do something to
lift the loads of others in this
part of the world.
She is the daughter of Scott
and Kris Cunningham, for-
merly of Three Lakes. Anyone
interested in receiving her
emails each week may email
Scott Cunningham at
[email protected].
Cunningham to serve as missionary
Nicolet Area Technical Col-
lege shared that, while credit
classes, degrees and diplomas
are at the core of the college,
students of all ages can bene-
fit from other activities aimed
at long-term career and per-
sonal success.
Its all about providing the
appropriate opportunities
over a lifetime, said Nicolet
College President Elizabeth
Burmaster. It really is life-
long learning that starts with
career exploration activities
for elementary and middle
school students and continues
through to any number of pro-
fessional development oppor-
tunities for individuals look-
ing to advance in their cur-
rent careers.
Career exploration
To help young students ex-
plore different career paths,
Nicolet College offers a num-
ber of activities that start
when students are in elemen-
tary school and continue
through high school.
For many students, the
journey begins with College
Camp. This weeklong event
held during the summer gives
North Woods sixth- through
ninth-graders a chance to ex-
plore different careers.
This summer marked the
18th year the college has held
the camp, which typically at-
tracts nearly 200 North
Woods students annually.
Classes have included
Gateway to Engineering, Join-
ing the Geek Squad Can Be
Cool, painting studio, comput-
er programming, culinary
arts, welding, Rock and Roll
101, and others.
New this summer at Nicolet
was Lego Camp, a four-day
event for youngsters in grades
one through six designed to
help them hone their science,
technology, engineering and
math skills by using Lego kits.
Once students are in high
school, the college offers stu-
dents Career Discovery Days
and Pre-College Academies.
Career Discovery Days are
designed to provide an
overview of the many differ-
ent academic programs Nico-
let offers and links these pro-
grams to specific career fields.
Pre-College Academies tar-
get ninth- and 10th-graders
and are designed to expose
students to specific career
pathways and hone their aca-
demic skills in the fields of en-
vironmental science, health
occupations and engineering.
For high school juniors and
seniors, the college offers half-
day College Visit Days and sev-
eral competitions in the trades.
During College Visit Days,
students visit Nicolet labs and
classrooms and meet with
Nicolet instructors and stu-
dents from different academic
areas. In each session they
learn about the academic cre-
dentials necessary for a given
career.
The trades competitions
are held in the areas of auto-
motive technology, welding
and carpentry and involve all
11 of the high schools in the
Nicolet College district.
Earning college credit
in high school
Nicolet currently offers
many ways for students to
earn college credit while still
in high school. These include
articulation agreements, such
as transcripted credit and ad-
vanced-standing courses
taught in the high schools, ad-
vanced placement testing, the
Youth Options program where
students enroll in on-campus
Nicolet classes, and youth ap-
prenticeships.
Transitioning
to the workforce
As students near gradua-
tion, the college offers services
to help them transition from
college to the workforce.
Internships have been a
staple in education for years,
translating skills students
learn in the classroom to the
workplace.
This year, 50 students par-
ticipated in internships
through 10 programs: ac-
counting, administrative as-
sistant, business manage-
ment, criminal justice, graph-
ic arts, information technolo-
gy, marketing, culinary arts,
barber cosmetology and auto
technology.
Nicolet also assists stu-
dents by conducting practice
job interviews and offering
tips for improvement; offering
free business attire donated
by college staff; and holding
on-campus job fairs that at-
tract dozens of employers
from throughout the region.
Professional development
The education opportunities
Nicolet provides do not end
once a graduate gets a job. The
workforce and economic devel-
opment area of the college
works with dozens of employ-
ers every year to provide pro-
fessional development and
skills training workshops and
seminars to professionals in
the workforce.
Nicolet provides workforce
training in diverse areas in-
cluding manufacturing and
technical training, business
management, quality and pro-
cess improvement, workplace
fundamentals, health care,
emergency medical services,
contractor training, leader-
ship and personal effective-
ness, protective services, safe-
ty and Occupational Safety
and Health Administration

clude a butterfly release, ded-
ication of the extended brick

Northland Pines graduate
Sue Fondrie, an associate pro-
fessor of curriculum and in-
struction at UW-Oshkosh,
was announced as the winner
of the 2011 Bulwer-Lytton
Fiction Contest.
Fondrie works groan-in-
ducing wordplay into her
teaching and administrative
duties whenever possible.
Out of school, she intro-
duces two members of the
next generation to the mys-
teries of Star Trek, Star Wars
and the art of the bad pun.
Fondrie is the 29th grand-
prize winner of the contest
that began at San Jose State

test challenges entrants to
compose bad opening sen-
tences to imaginary novels
and takes its name from the
Victorian novelist Edward
George Bulwer-Lytton, who
began his Paul Clifford with
It was a dark and stormy
night.
At 26 words, Fondries sub-
mission is the shortest grand-

need not be very wordy.
She is the daughter of Stu
and Sunny Fondrie of Phelps.

The Northwoods Alliance
for Temporary Housing Inc.
(NATH) Vice President
Howard Hutchinson is head-
ing up the 1,000-give-$100
fundraising campaign to ben-
efit Frederick Place homeless
shelter.
Hutchinson recently said,
We are looking for 1,000 indi-
viduals or groups to donate
$100 this year and for the
next three years. If this cam-
paign is successful, it will
cover half of the annual oper-
ating costs for the shelter.
Operational costs for Fred-
erick Place, an emergency
temporary shelter, are esti-
mated to be approximately
$205,000 per year, which in-
cludes utilities, food, supplies,
maintenance, telephone, in-
surance, case management
and staff salaries.
We envision that those
who donate will let us know of
other individuals or groups
who may be willing to donate
$100 in 2011 and commit to
giving $100 each in 2012 and
2013, stated Howard.
Individual donations, along
with larger donations from
grants, businesses, civic
groups, faith communities
and fundraising events, will
provide a dependable level of
income to enable NATH to op-
erate the Frederick Place
homeless shelter.
NATH was recently noti-
fied that Frederick Place was
selected as a finalist for the
2011 Community Grant pro-
gram offered by Trigs in part-
nership with Pepsi Cola Mid-
Wisconsin Beverage Inc.
The grant project is now in
the hands of the voters. Bal-
lots are available at Trigs in
Rhinelander. Voters may cast
their ballot at the Pepsi dis-
play or at the customer ser-
vice center through Aug. 20.
If enough votes are re-
ceived for Frederick Place, the
community grant will be used
to fund exterior renovations
at the shelter.
In the first six months of op-
eration, Frederick Place has
provided shelter to 48 adults
and seven children who have
come from all five counties in
NATHs service area, which in-
cludes Vilas, Oneida, Forest,
Lincoln and Langlade counties.
Anyone willing to help fi-
nancially or for more informa-
tion about NATHs opera-
tional funding needs, may
contact Hutchinson at (715)

American Veterans (DAV) of
Chapter 56 in Vilas County
will once again ask the citi-
zens of this community to re-
member the sacrifice that has
been made for America by
wearing a blue forget-me-not
flower Thursday, Aug. 11,
through Sunday, Aug. 14.
According to organizers, the
memorial forget-me-not flower
is not only a personal tribute
to the dead, but also honors
the living disabled veterans.
When you wear this little
blue flower, it helps to keep
alive the kind of patriotism so
necessary in this great coun-
try of ours. As long as such
feelings exist in our hearts, we
need not fear for the future of
our nation, for we will never
forget the price of war and
the responsibility for protect-
ing freedom, said James
Lynn, adjutant/treasurer of
DAV Chapter 56.
All funds collected will go to
the groups Veteran Relief
Fund that locally helps to sup-
port the DAVs Iron Mountain
transport van, the patients
funds at the Iron Mountain
Veterans Affairs Medical Cen-
ter and King Veterans Home,
authorized veterans rehabili-
tation funds, local veterans in
need and national DAV pro-
grams for disabled and hospi-
talized veterans.
DAV Chapter 56 members
will distribute forget-me-nots
at Trigs, Pick n Save and Nel-
sons Ace Hardware in Eagle
River, Camps Northwoods Su-
perValu in St. Germain and
other sites in Vilas County.

she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the
elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided and
fill in the oval or connect the arrow on the write-in line. On referendum questions, the elec-
tor shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to "yes" if in favor of the question, or the
elector shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to "no" if opposed to the question.
Where touch screen voting systems are used, the elector shall depress the button next to
the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends
to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall

tor shall leave the booth, deposit the ballot in the ballot box, or deliver the ballot to an in-
spector for deposit, and shall leave the polling place promptly.

derstanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The select-
ed individual rendering assistance may not be the elector's employer or an agent of that

The Edward U. Demmer
Memorial Library in Three
Lakes has announced the re-
sults of a community survey
conducted in 2010, which fo-
cused on current and prospec-
tive space requirements.
Property owners in Three
Lakes were mailed the survey.
It was also available on-line
and at the library and town
office. Visitors as well as resi-
dents were encouraged to par-
ticipate.
For valid results, 300 com-
pleted surveys were needed,
and there was a return of 555
responses. The results were a
critical part of developing a
plan for library space needs
projected into the year 2030.
Some of the highlights of
the survey results were:
41.7% of respondents
were full-time residents of
Three Lakes, 44% were sea-
sonal residents.
81% agree with the state-
ment I always find the infor-
mation I am looking for in
the Demmer Library. Only
3.4% disagree with the state-
ment.
37% thought that com-
puter access was adequate.
48% thought that
desk/seating space was ade-
quate.
Nearly half of the respon-
dents use the local history/ge-
nealogy section at the Dem-
mer library.
22% felt more parking
was needed.
Ten expressed concern
about their taxes.
The Demmer Library will
hold an open house Wednes-
day, Aug. 17, from 5 to 7 p.m.
to review the results of the
survey with the public. At
6:30, Trees For Tomorrow will
give a presentation on
swamps and bogs.

about, said Goldsworthy. Im
still trying to narrow down my
selection for the evening.

her great-great-grandmother,
who was an Irish immigrant
in the mid-19th century. Many
of her stories and films are as-
sociated with Ireland.
Kelly has written award-
winning documentaries for
PBS and has also written two
biographies about Martin
Scorsese and another about
Scott OGradys military res-
cue.
Her writing is also featured
in articles for Irish America
Magazine. In addition to au-
thoring several books, Kelly
worked as a Hollywood
screenwriter and an associate
producer with Good Morning
America and Saturday
Night Live, and she wrote the
book and lyrics for the musi-
cal Abbys Song.
Although Kelly was born
and raised in Chicago, Ill., she
is connected to the homeland
of her Irish ancestors. She
currently lives in Manhattan,
N.Y., with her Irish husband,
Martin Sheerin, from County
Tyrone. Kelly and her family
have enjoyed more than 60
years on Medicine Lake in

OFFICE OF THE VILAS COUNTY CLERK
TO THE ELECTORS OF VILAS COUNTY:
Notice is hereby given of a partisan recall election to be held in the several wards in Vilas
County comprising the 12th Senate District, on the 16th day of August 2011, at which the
officer named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for the office to be
voted for, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under
the title of the office and under the appropriate party or other designation, each in its prop-
er column, in the sample ballot below.
INFORMATION TO ELECTORS
Upon entering the polling place, an elector shall state his or her name and address before
being permitted to vote. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspec-
tors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone
to a voting booth or machine and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a par-
ent or guardian may be accompanied by the electors minor child or minor ward. An elec-
tion official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official
may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.
To vote for a candidate, where an optical scan system is used, the elector shall fill in the
oval next to the candidates name for whom he or she intends to vote. Where a touch
screen voting system is used, the elector shall select the candidate for whom he or she in-
tends to vote either by touching the candidates name or by using the keypad.
To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, where an optical scan
voting system is used, the elector shall write the name of the candidate of his or her choice
in the space provided for a write-in vote and connect the arrow or fill in the oval next to the
write-in line. Where touch screen voting systems are used, the elector shall type in the
name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote.
The vote should not be cast in any other manner. If an elector spoils an optical scan bal-
lot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place,
but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. If the ballot has not been
initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the
election official who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. The elector may spoil a touch
screen ballot at the voting station, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any
one elector. Not more than five minutes time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sam-
ple ballots or other materials to assist the elector in marking his or her ballot may be taken
into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal
how the ballot is marked.
After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the
ballot, and promptly leave the polling place.
After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the security sleeve so
the marks do not show. The elector shall then insert the ballot in the voting device and dis-
card the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. If a central count system
is used, the elector shall insert the ballot in the ballot box and discard the sleeve, or deliv-
er the ballot to an inspector for deposit.
After an official touch screen ballot is marked, the elector shall leave the polling place
promptly.
An elector may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares
to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or un-
derstanding English, or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The select-
ed individual rendering assistance may not be the electors employer or an agent of that
employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the elector.
The following is a sample of the official ballot and a picture of the touch screen:

The Community Blood Cen-
ter will host a community blood
drive in Phelps Thursday, Aug.
18, from 2 to 6 p.m. at Lillian
Kerr Healthcare Center by
Rennes, located at 2383 High-
way 17 in Phelps.
People arent usually think-
ing about donating blood dur-
ing the summer, said Jan Had-
sell of The Community Blood
Center. They have other things
on their mind, like taking vaca-
tions and spending time on the
lake. But the need for blood
doesnt go away during the
summer. So we really appreci-
ate it when people make it a
priority to donate blood.
To make a donation appoint-
ment, contact Lola at (920) 227-
5561 or visit save3lives.org.
Scheduling an appointment
in advance reduces waiting
time, keeping the total time re-
quired for a donation to less
than an hour, said Hadsell.
Walk-in donors are also wel-
come.
Blood donors are required to
be at least 17 years old (16 with
parental permission), weigh at
least 110 pounds, be in general
good health and must take
photo identification. Donors
should eat a regular meal and
drink plenty of fluids prior to
donating.
Since 1955, The Community
Blood Center has worked with
volunteer blood donors to pro-
vide a steady, reliable blood
supply for hospitals.
Today, the blood center re-
mains a nonprofit organization
committed to serving hospital
patients.

Last summer, when 42
eager golfers prepared to tee
off in the inaugural Kep
Vorhees Memorial Golf
Tournament, one partici-
pant, Tom OConnell, presi-
dent of Big Sand Lake Club,
was notably missing.
Just six days before the
golf outing, OConnell expe-
rienced a freak accident
while volunteering to repair
the roof of the familys
church at his home in Pala-
tine, Ill.
While ascending a ladder
to reach the church roof, O-
Connell ran into a hornet
nest that erupted in a
swarm of vicious stingers.
As he scrambled back down
the ladder to escape the hor-
nets, his foot caught in a
rung causing him to fall 20
feet to the ground below. The
impact caused serious frac-
tures to both major leg
bones, the fibula and tibia.
OConnell was rushed to
a hospital, where doctors
proclaimed that his ankle
also was pulverized. Three
separate surgeries followed,
the last being Feb. 9 of this
year. Eventually, to save the
ankle from being amputat-
ed, doctors inserted a 10-
inch pin, secured by five
screws through the heel.
However, the ankle kept
breaking down through
therapy. The doctors, in
November of last year, de-
cided that an ankle fusion
had to be performed. Over-
all, OConnell was in a
wheelchair and on crutches
for 10 months. It was not
until this May that he final-
ly took his first steps since
the accident.
An avid golfer, OConnell
finally touched a golf club
for the first time when he
and his wife, Holly, returned
to Big Sand Lake Club in
Phelps, where they both
played in the clubs annual
Memorial Day weekend golf
tournament.
OConnell was finally
able to return to his job at
M&B Landscaping Co. in
June.
Thank goodness the
company held my job for me
and I was fortunate to have
a boss, Mike Zyer, who stood
by me like a proverbial Rock
of Gibraltar, said OConnell.
The man even mowed my
lawn.
OConnell went through a
year of intense pain, much of
which he still experiences,
but one of the bigger pains
was missing last years Kep
Vorhees Memorial Golf
Tournament, according to
Holly OConnell.
The tournament was
started because the folks at
Sand Lake Club wanted to
help the town of Phelps, and
Tom wanted to be there, she
said.
The tournament is spon-
sored by Big Sand Lake
Club to raise funds for the
Phelps Volunteer Fire De-
partment and Phelps Ambu-
lance Service.
I have been on a golf
course only three times in
the recent few months, but I
will be at Big Sand Sunday,
Aug. 14, for the second an-
nual Kep Vorhees outing,
said Tom OConnell. I look
forward to it and I hope a lot
of the folks in the North
Woods will participate or
contribute to the fund.
OConnell said his golf
game has faltered a little bit
since the accident.
I used to drive 250 yards,
but now Im lucky to reach
200, he said. The short
game isnt bad, though.
This years tournament is
scheduled to tee off at 10
a.m. Sunday, Aug. 14. The
entry fee is $25, all of which
will be contributed to the
fire department and ambu-
lance service. Firefighters
and emergency medical
technicians are not charged
the entry fee. The greens fee
has been reduced to $15 and
carts are extra.
Golfers wishing to partic-
ipate in the nine-hole, best-
ball scramble can put to-
gether their own foursomes
and can register for the
tournament by calling Big
Sand Lake Club at (715)
548-2486 or driving to the
club at 4571 Big Sand Lake
Club Road in Phelps.
At the conclusion of the
golf outing, there will be a
barbecue cookout at Big
Sand Lake Club.
OConnell recovering from fall,
will return for Vorhees tourney
