Opponents of the develop-
ment of backlands on Bond
Falls Flowage are celebrating
in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan as the property
owner has requested to with-
draw the proposed shoreline
management plan.
The Upper Peninsula
Power Co. (UPPCO) was
proposing to sell the 960 acres
of backlands, with the possib-
lity of developers subdividing
the 40-acre parcles into resi-
dential lots of 1.03 acres each.
The plan also would have al-
lowed up to 320 piers on the
pristine 2,160 flowage north-
east of Watersmeet, Mich.
But UPPCO announced
July 25 that it was going to re-
quest to withdraw the pro-
posed shoreline management
plan for three flowages, in-
cluding Bond Falls, according
to Kerry Spees, a spokesper-
son for Wisconsin Public Ser-
vice Corp.
In reviewing the plans de-
veloped and submitted in
2007, UPPCO believes the
plans are no longer pertinent
to its current business model
for excess lands, said Spees.
With the economic situation,
UPPCO wants to review the
business model.
Spees said that because of
the economic downturn,
UPPCO has no plans to mar-
ket the property for develop-
ment.
While UPPCO can resub-
mit the same shoreline man-
agement plan at a later date,

Kim Simac, Republican can-
didate for the 12th District
State Senate in the Aug. 16 re-
call election against Demorac-
tic Sen. Jim Holperin, said she
has nothing to hide when it
comes to accusations about
paying her personal income
taxes.
The Democratic Party of
Wisconsin demanded last
week that Simac produce state
income tax records that they
say show she paid no net in-
come tax to the state in 2001,
2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008.
But Simac, who owns a pri-
vate horse riding club just
south of Eagle River, said there
are many small business own-
ers in similar situations.
My business has struggled
for years, especially with a
down economy and a hurting
tourism industry, said Simac,
who is running against incum-
bent Holperin. There have
been years when my net in-
come has fallen into a tax
bracket that has no year-end
tax liability.
Tom Tiffany, state represen-
tative for the 35th Assembly
District, said Holperin and his
Democtratic allies used the
same attack on him in the clos-
ing days of the 2008 senate
campaign.
I understand Senator
Holperins desire to confuse
the tax issue because of his
statement that he voted for
enough tax and fee increases
to sink a good-sized battleship.
It is hurting him, said Tiffany.
Tiffany said the attack on
Simac, by the We Are Wiscon-
sin PAC, steps over the line
from political debate to person-
al attack.
In our familys situation,
my wife, Chris, does our book-
keeping, both personally and
for our business, said Tiffany.
Senator Holperin is intimat-
ing that my wife and I are tax
cheats. Clearly, Senator
Holperin is trying to mislead
the voters. In fact, shouldnt
Senator Holperin let the citi-
zens of the district know,
whether it is me or Kim Simac,
that our tax liabilities are cur-
rently paid?
Meanwhile, Simac is under
fire for a recent announcement
that her patriotic childrens
books were outsourced to be
printed in China. Her 2007
book, titled American Soldier
Proud and Free, proclaims a
printed in China label on the
dedication page.
With so many great local
printing houses here in north-
ern Wisconsin, I cant under-
stand why Ms. Simac would
feel she needs to outsource her
book to China, said local au-
thor and publisher Kathleen
Marsh, owner of Otter Run
Books LLC in Townsend, in a
We Are Wisconsin PAC press
release.
Simac said as a first-time
publisher she sent her busi-
ness to a printer in Menasha,
RR Donnelley, making an ef-
fort to have her books pub-
lished and printed in Wiscon-
sin.
It was not until the wheels
were in motion that I learned
that the books were to be
printed outside of the
Menasha office, said Simac.
Simac said that when she
signed with a publishing house
in 2010, it was under the
agreement that all her books,
including any future titles,
would be printed in the United
States.
We do live in a global econ-
omy; Im running for office to
make sure that Wisconsin is a
strong player in that economy,
she said. As a citizen and busi-
nesswoman, I make every ef-
fort to give my business to local
shops right here in Wisconsin
and the North Woods. As a sen-
ator, I will fight to help small
businesses grow and thrive.

Trees For Tomorrow, Wiscon-
sins only accredited natural re-
sources specialty school, in co-
operation with Partners in
Forestry (PIF), will host the
first Forest Fest Saturday, Aug.
6, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the
Trees For Tomorrow campus.
Forest Fest is a celebration
of the forests and all of the
products people get from them
that enhance the quality of life,
according to event organizers.
All aspects of the forest will
be represented, from wood
products to mushrooms and ev-
erything in between, said
Maggie Bishop, executive direc-
tor of Trees For Tomorrow. The
Northwood Turners will be
doing live demonstrations and
their sawdust will be used to
make fiber art. It will be a day
of fun and learning about this
versatile and renewable natu-
ral resource.
Rod Sharka of PIF said his
organization plans to lead field
tours.
Partners In Forestry will
have professional foresters on
hand to lead forestry manage-
ment field tours, he said.
Other organizations such as
Wisconsin Woodland Owners
Association and American Tree
Farm System will also be avail-
able to answer questions about
managing your private wood-
lands.
Georgia-Pacific will perform
papermaking classes with the
public, Ponsse will have its har-
vester simulator available so
visitors can try their skills at
logging, Trees For Tomorrow
will have courses running all
day on tree identification and
live birds of prey, while Rocking
W Stables will offer horse-
drawn wagon rides.
For a complete list of event
participants, visit treesforto-
morrow.com. All programs will
be free to the public.
Sponsors for the event will
include the Wisconsin State
Energy Office: Education and
Outreach; Plum Creek Founda-
tion; Society of American

Harley-Davidson.
Farm-fresh hamburgers and
brats from Futility Farms and

We thought that highlight-
ing local farmers and their pro-
duce would fit right in with our
Forest Fest celebration, said
Bishop. Plan to join us for a
day of fun, activities and learn-
ing.

products from the forest are
welcome to participate by call-

Vilas County Fair set Aug. 11-14
Bond Falls:flowage backlands wont be developed
FROM PAGE 1A
there are no plans to resubmit
at this time, said Spees.
That was good new for oppo-
nents of the proposal, including
Nancy Warren, a spokesperson
for the Upper Peninsula Public
Access Coalition.
It is welcomed news as now
we wont see any docks on Bond
Falls, said Warren, referring to
the potential 335 private boat
slips on the flowage approved
by the Federal Regulatory
Commission.
Warren said the announce-
ment means that an Interior
Township vote last August that
showed citizens, by 28 votes, fa-
vored the potential develop-
ment of Bond Falls backlands.
Some people thought that
the referendum language was
very misleading because a yes
vote meant to repeal the rezon-
ing effort and to keep the 40-
acre parcels, said Warren.
While we challenged the lan-
guage, it was approved by the
Interior Township and the ref-
erendum was held.
Warren said if UPPCOs re-
quest is approved, it will
severely curtail the chances of
the company again selling the
lands to a developer such as
Naterra Land, a firm that orig-
inally sought to develop the
property.
Naterra Land is no longer
part of the equation following a
lawsuit it filed against UPPCO
for breach of contract. The set-
tlement of the suit resulted in
the power company repurchas-
ing the lands it had sold for
$5.9 million in December 2005.
Naterra filed the suit in July
2007 over delays in the rezon-
ing and other development is-
sues, including approval of
shoreline management plans
by the Federal Energy Regula-
tory Commission.
The lawsuit and resulting
land sale was big news for War-
rens coalition because it termi-
nated the development project
that called for more than 300
pier slips on project lands sur-
rounding the flowage.
The placement of docks on a
flowage that currently has
none has fueled the opposition
movement so much that the
dock issue was mentioned on
the original rezoning appeal.
The township clerk denied
the petition on the grounds
that a reference to docks meant
petitioners were repealing
more than one zoning amend-
ment at a time, which is not al-
lowed.
Appellate judges said the pe-
tition clearly stated that the
plaintiffs petitioned for repeal
of the Interior Township Zon-
ing Ordinance Amendment No.
083106, regardless of whether
docks were mentioned as a rea-
son for their protest.
UPPCO said it attempted to
sell backlands for development
in order to realize a return on
lands it had purchased years
ago that were not part of the of-
ficial hydroelectric project
lands that surround the
flowage entirely.
Critics of the move claimed
that develoment of the back-
lands, especially the placement
of piers on project lands, was
not consistent with a federal li-
cense that stresses enhance-
ment of natural resources and
recreational opportunities.
Because UPPCO will not be
selling the backlands anytime
soon, Spees said any recre-
ational improvements on the
company lands around the
flowage also would be delayed
because there would be no ad-
ditional funds coming in
through the sale of property.

A 28-year-old Grayslake, Ill.,
man, convicted of three bur-
glaries in Vilas and Oneida
counties, was sentenced to
eight years, six months in Wis-
consin Prison System last week
in Vilas County Circuit Court.
Eric M. Brown will serve
three years, six months of ini-
tial confinement and five
years of extended supervision.
A fourth charge of burglary to
a building or dwelling was dis-
missed, but was read in at
sentencing by Vilas Circuit
Judge Neal A. Nielsen III.
Brown was involved in the
Oct. 1, 2008, burglaries of
Knitts Hardware, St. Ger-
main Chamber of Commerce,
and Radio Shack in Vilas
County and Wildwood Zoo in
Oneida County.
According to the complaint,
Brown took power tools, two
chain saws, a fire safe and
other items from Knitts Hard-
ware, $285 in cash from the St.
Germain Chamber, more than
$10,000 in electronics from
Radio Shack and $4,000 in
cash from Wildwood Zoo.
Other conditions of Browns
sentence include restitution to
victims, seek and maintain
full-time employment, provide
DNA sample, not to possess or
consume intoxicants, continue
AODA counseling as deemed
necessary and any assess-
ments, including psychiatric
counseling.
Dallas R. Paznonski, 30, of
Conover, who is serving a 36-
year prison sentence in the
Green Bay Correctional Insti-
tution on two counts of first-
degree sexual assault of a
child, will be given a motion
hearing Nov. 11 at 9 a.m. in an
effort to modify his sentence.
Paznonskis attorney, Steve
Lucareli, filed the motion last
week, saying that the sentence
should be changed based on
new facts that could not have
been considered at the time of
the original sentence in 2006.
According to court records,
Lucareli says Paznonski pro-
vided information that led to a
change in the plea and ulti-
mate conviction of Douglas
Plude. Lucareli says avoiding a
Plude trial saved the county
tremendous amounts of
money. Plude pleaded guilty
to a reduced charge of first-de-
gree reckless homicide, instead
of intentional homicide, in the
1999 death of his wife, Genell.
The guilty plea came from
Plude just a week before his
second two-week trial was to
start in December 2010. Plude
was sentenced to 25 years in
the Wisconsin prison system.
Lucareli said to protect Paz-
nonski from other inmates, he
has been moved to solitary
confinement in the institution.
In other felonies, Eric Ben-
son, 35, of Eagle River, who al-
legedly took pain medications
from a home at 470 Sundstein
Road, had a preliminary hear-
ing set for Aug. 3 at 9 a.m. He
allegedly was helping clean
the property of garbage when
he took the medications in
May of 2011 from a woman
who was undergoing treat-
ment for cancer.
Benson is charged with two
counts of distribution of sched-
ule I or II narcotics, possession
of narcotic drugs, possession of
a non-narcotic controlled sub-
stance, possession of illegally
obtained prescriptions and two
counts misdemeanor theft.
Matthew J. Arndt, of Eagle
River, 30, charged with posses-
sion of narcotics, possession of
illegally obtained prescriptions
and receiving stolen property
with Benson, had a prelimi-
nary hearing set for Aug. 31 at
11:30 a.m. The court appointed
Attorney Michael W. Shieck to
defend Arndt.
Robin E. Braasch, 23, of
Eagle River, was sentenced to
225 days in the Vilas County
Jail after entering a no contest
plea to manufacturing or deliv-
ery of a prescription drug. In
addition, a 36-month deferred
entry of judgment was ap-
proved for a charge of manu-
facturing or delivery of
Psilocin. A charge of possession
of drug paraphernalia was dis-
missed. Braasch will received
credit for 45 days served and
can receive work release privi-
leges with good time.
Braasch was arrested at
3729 Larrabee Lane in
Conover July 28, 2010, where
he turned over two prescrip-
tion pills to an investigator. If
Braasch meets the require-
ments of the DEJ, the felony
will be dismissed in 36
months and it will be amend-
ed to an unclassified misde-
meanor. A Class H felony car-
ries a fine of not more than
$10,000 or six years in prison.
Angel R. Young, 22, of Lac
du Flambeau, convicted of op-
erating a motor vehicle with-
out the owners consent, was
sentenced to nine months in
the county jail. She will re-
ceived credit for 189 days
served and must pay restitu-
tion of $2,408.52 for damage
she did to a 2005 Dodge
Stratos. She also was convicted
of three criminal misdemeanor
charges and was sentenced to
three months in the county jail
to run concurrent to the other
criminal misdemeanors, but
consecutive to the felony.
Brandon L. Vetterneck, 34,
of Lac du Flambeau, entered a
not guilty plea to charges of
possession of marijuana, sec-
ond offense, operating a motor
vehicle after revocation, two
charges of possession of drug
paraphernalia, and possession
of narcotic drugs. A pretrial
conference was set for Aug. 16
at 11:15 a.m. and his $1,000
signature bond was continued.
Jedediah G. Maulson, 19, of
Lac du Flambeau, charged
with operating a motor vehicle
without the owners consent,
made an adjourned initial ap-
pearance and a preliminary
hearing was set for Sept. 1 at 3
p.m. Maulson allegedly took a
1984 pickup truck without the
owners consent on May 16 in
Lac du Flambeau.
Melissa R. Ackley, 25, of
Lac du Flambeau, charged
with second-degree reckless
endangerment, and two mis-
demeanor charges of criminal
damage to property and disor-
derly conduct, had a prelimi-
nary hearing set for Aug. 31 at
11 a.m. Ackley allegedly
pushed the vehicle of another
woman into the woods with
her vehicle in a driveway off of
Cloud Street in Lac du Flam-
beau May 31. The other
woman had two children in
the car. According to the crim-
inal complaint, she was ap-
parently dating Ackleys for-
mer boyfriend. None of the oc-
cupants of the vehicle needed
medical attention.
Penny L. Chapman, 29, of
Lac du Flambeau, entered a
not guilty plea on two charges
of felony bail jumping, and
misdemeanor battery and dis-
orderly conduct. A pretrial
conference was set for Oct. 13
at 1:30 p.m. Chapman al-
legedly consume intoxicants
and violated her curfew July
13 in Lac du Flambeau, both
violations of a bond for a pre-
vious charge in Vilas County.
She also allegedly got in a
fight with another woman, re-
sulting in the two new misde-
meanor charges. She is free on
a $2,000 signature bond.
Lara K. Williams, 33, of Lac
du Flambeau, charged with
felony bail jumping, misde-
meanor theft and possession
of an illegally-obtained pre-
scription, had an arraignment
and plea hearing set for Sept.
18 at 11 a.m.
Clarence W. Graveen Sr., 48,
of Manitowish Waters, had a
charge of possession of a
firearm dismissed. Graveen
was convicted Nov. 10, 2010, on
seven counts of failure to sup-
port a child. Four of the charges
were felonies. Court records in-
dicated that Graveen had bor-
rowed a gun to hunt deer in
February of 2011. While the
charge was dismissed, the state
will keep the firearm. Accord-
ing to Assistant District Attor-
ney David Breedlove, an order
for a transcript was not filed in
the case.

A line of thunderstorms
with high winds caused large
power outages throughout the
North Woods Saturday after-
noon, with some residents
without power until Monday.
Wisconsin Public Service
(WPS) reported that more
than 1,200 outages affected
36,000 of its customers, pri-
marily from Highway 8 and
areas north.
The outages were the re-
sult of strong winds causing
branches to break or trees
falling onto power lines, said
Leah Van Zile, community re-
lations leader for WPS.
Hardest hit areas, accord-
ing to Van Zile, were Minoc-
qua with 9,301 customers
without power, followed by
Eagle River at 5,457, Antigo
at 4,305, Tomahawk at 3,527
and Rhinelander at 2,571.
Some of the heaviest dam-
age in the Eagle River area
was near Watersmeet Lake,
with large pine trees down in
the Perch Lake Road area and
at the Eagle River Inn, where
a wedding tent was leveled by
the high winds. Sources said
several people were injured
when the tent collapsed.
Van Zile said more than
150 workers helped to restore
electricity Sunday, including
WPS employees and contract-
ed help. She said UPPCO
(Upper Peninsula Power Co.-
WPS owned and operated
company) crews assisted in
restoration efforts on Sunday.
Contracted crews from other
parts of Wisconsin and Illinois
also assisted.
The difficulty in restora-
tion efforts was the number of
separate outages, said Van
Zile. As of 5 a.m. Sunday,
17,000 customers were with-
out electricity in more than
600 separate outages.
In Eagle River, 2,200 cus-
tomers from 52 outages were
still without power Sunday
morning.
Van Zile said restoration
crews reported trees up-root-
ed, broken poles and roads
blocked by trees making it
challenging to restore power.
Broken poles can take up
to three hours to restore and
downed wires can take two
hours to restore, she said.
WPS staff is doing every-
thing they can to restore as
many households and busi-
nesses as possible, remember-
ing safety is our No. 1 priority
to customers and crews.
For electrical emergencies,
people can call WPS at (800)
450-7240.
Storm causes power outages
Several pine tree tops crashed to the ground and on top of a cot-
tage at Leaders Birchwood Lodge at 1086 Perch Lake Road just
west of Eagle River during Saturdays storm. Joyce Leader said
there was nobody in the cabin when the storm hit.

GOVERNMENT
MEETINGS
For the fifth consecutive year,
volunteers will survey the en-
tire lower Eagle River Chain of
Lakes for Eurasian water mil-
foil between now and Aug. 19.
The volunteer survey is part
of the Unified Lower Eagle
River Chain of Lakes Commis-
sions (ULERCLC) 2011 aquat-
ic invasive species (AIS) man-
agement plan.
The ULERCLC was award-
ed a grant from the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR) for the manage-
ment of Eurasian water milfoil
(EWM), and treated 92.5 acres
of EWM earlier this spring.
As part of the program, vol-
unteers conduct a peak
biomass survey on all lakes, ac-
cording to commission
spokeswoman Carole Linn.
These volunteers have been
trained by Onterra LLC, the
lake management consulting
firm hired by the commission
to develop and implement the
treatment plan, said Linn.
This training included identi-
fication of EWM, mapping
techniques, working with glob-
al positioning systems (GPS),
and editing and transferring of
electronic data.
Linn said the volunteer peak
biomass surveys are pivotal in
the success of the project. The
focus areas identified by the vol-
unteers are then investigated
by the aquatic ecologists from
Onterra and areas for future
treatment are developed based
upon results of this survey.
Volunteer surveys save mu-
nicipalities and lake associa-
tions thousands of dollars as
ecologists from Onterra are
able to focus just on areas iden-
tified by volunteers, said Linn.
During the survey, volun-
teers observe for EWM and then
use rake pulls to gather samples
for definitive identification.
Each area with EWM is noted
with its GPS waypoint and is
referenced within survey notes.
All information is recorded
as if it were to be interpreted
by a person unfamiliar with
the lake, said Linn. Each way-
point is described in a note con-
taining the name of the exotic
being mapped, depth or range
of depth, density rating, and
condition of the exotic and
other plant species present.
The volunteers then download
all GPS data to Onterra.
Onterra then uses this vol-
unteer data to perform the pro-
fessional EWM plant surveys
later this summer on all lower
Chain lakes. This survey pro-
vides the basis for treatment of
EWM in 2012.
This year, the ULERCLC ob-
tained a grant from the DNR
for $136,507. The grant repre-
sents a 50/50 cost share. The
municipal share from the
towns of Washington, Lincoln,
Cloverland and the city of
Eagle River was $37,894. The
private sector (lake associa-
tions) contributed $25,401. The
grant also included $31,357 of
in-kind volunteer efforts.
Linn said the volunteer sur-
veys comprise a portion of the
in-kind donation.
Because the grant is a reim-
bursement grant, it was neces-
sary to obtain a financial
bridge loan to pay expenses, as
the commission has no source
of revenue, she said. First Na-
tional Bank of Eagle River pro-
vided a $110,000 loan on very
favorable terms, thereby en-
abling payment of vendors on a
timely basis. First National
Bank has partnered with the
commission for the past three
years to ensure implementa-
tion of the project.
As part of the 2011 AIS
management plan, a research
study was conducted on several
lakes on the Eagle River Chain
by the DNR and the Army
Corps of Engineers to measure
the residual concentration of
the liquid aquatic herbicide
2,4-D to determine effective-
ness and safety.
The ULERCLC has applied
for a DNR grant for continued
AIS management in 2012 at the
Aug. 1 deadline. The grant re-
quest is to treat a proposed 93
acres of EWM at a total project
cost of $181,016. The requested
state share is 50% or $90,508.
The total project costs in-
clude $2,560 DNR permit fees,
$38,355 consulting services by
Onterra LLC, $86,750 herbi-
cide application by Schmidts
Aquatic Plant Control, $4,800
for Clean Boats, Clean Waters
watercraft inspection program
and $28,547 for in-kind volun-
teer efforts. It also includes a
long-term quantitative treat-
ment evaluation at a cost of
$20,004, according to Linn.
This evaluation is a whole-
lake point-intercept survey of
all plant species, and results
will be compared to the native
plant survey done in 2006 to
evaluate the impact of herbi-
cide treatment on native plant
species, said Linn.
Volunteers to survey lower Chain
for invasive Eurasian water milfoil
First lady Tonette Walker
and Secretary of Tourism
Stephanie Klett will promote a
healthy lifestyle and exercise
by walking the Three Eagle
Trail Wednesday, Aug. 10.
The public is welcome to join
Walker and Klett, who will
meet at the Three Eagle trail-
head on Sundstein Road in
Eagle River at 10 a.m.
The program will be held in
cooperation with the Depart-
ment of Tourism, Walkers of-
fice, the Eagle River Area
Chamber of Commerce & Visi-
tors Center, Ministry Health-
care and the Three Eagle Trail
Foundation.
The Walk with Walker event
will take place on approximate-
ly 2 miles of the 8.4-mile trail,
and will be led by outdoor en-
thusiast and Three Eagle Trail
Foundation board member Tom
Rulseh.
Rulseh will share insight
and expertise about the trail
and its natural environment.
Since the walk will take
place in a wooded area, the
chamber recommends that par-
ticipants take walking shoes,
sunscreen, insect repellent, a
hat, a lightweight jacket, a
camera and water.
For more information, con-
tact Kim Emerson at the Eagle
River chamber of commerce at
(715) 479-6400.
Walk with Walker
scheduled Aug. 10
Effective Monday, Aug. 15,
the Rhinelander Social Securi-
ty office will be open to the pub-
lic Mondays through Fridays
from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., a re-
duction of 30 minutes each
weekday.
While agency employees will
continue to work their regular
hours, this shorter public win-
dow will allow them to com-
plete face-to-face service with
the visiting public without in-
curring the cost of overtime.
Congress provided Social
Security with nearly $1 billion
less than the president re-
quested for the budget this fis-
cal year, which makes it impos-
sible for the agency to provide
the amount of overtime needed
to handle service to the public
as it has in the past, according
to Social Security public affairs
specialist Ken Hess.
Most Social Security ser-
vices do not require a visit to
an office. For example, to apply
for benefits, sign up for direct
deposit, replace a Medicare
card, obtain a proof of income
letter or change an address or
telephone number, visit so-
cialsecurity.gov or call 1-(800)
772-1213. People who are deaf
or hard of hearing may call the
TTY number at 1-(800) 325-
0778.

ners hang on Wall and Rail-
road streets. The banners
hang from Memorial Day
until Veterans Day and are
auctioned off at the ERRP an-
nual dinner in March.
This year, in addition to tak-
ing home one piece of art, 21
pieces have been combined in a
wall hanging by the Cranberry
Country Quilters who took the
pieces of art and quilted them
into an 81- by 65-inch wall
hanging with and accompany-
ing 16.5- by 65-inch piece.
We are very grateful to the
artists who supply the artwork
and the sponsors who make the
whole Artscape program possi-
ble, said Rita Fritz, ERRP ex-
ecutive director. A special
thank-you to the Cranberry
Country Quilters who donated
their time and talents to make
this exquisite piece.

The last Vilas County Clean
Sweep is scheduled for Friday
and Saturday, Aug. 5 and 6,
from noon to 4 p.m. at the Vilas
County Fairgrounds on High-
way 70 in Eagle River, accord-
ing to Solid Waste Committee
Chairman Gene Ciszek.
The program allows area
residents to properly dispose of
hazardous material according
to state and federal environ-
mental regulations. Residents
can take waste to the fair-
grounds during program hours.
Vilas County property own-
ers can take old paint, batter-
ies, household chemicals and
fluorescent bulbs to the Clean
Sweep. There are fees associ-
ated with most items, ranging
from 50 cents per fluorescent
bulb to $2.50 per pound for
antifreeze. Vilas County con-
tracts with Oneida County
Solid Waste to provide li-
censed professionals to collect
and transport the hazardous
waste to the permanent facili-
ty in Woodboro.
Items that are not catego-
rized as hazardous waste will
not be accepted and are the re-
sponsibility of the owner to dis-
pose of properly. These include
household trash and recy-
clables including all electronic
devices, as well as unwanted
and expired pharmaceuticals.
Electronics and other recy-
clables may be taken to Veolia
Environmental Services in
Woodruff or Eagle Waste in
Eagle River. Property owners
may obtain a voucher from
their town or city clerk for
free disposal of electronic
items. Expired pharmaceuti-
cals may be dropped at the
Eagle River Police Depart-
ment for no charge.
A complete list of hazardous
waste items that will be ac-
cepted at the Clean Sweep is
available at vilasrecycles.org.
Property owners can call the
Vilas County UW-Extension
office at (715) 479-3648 before
the drop-off for information
about what is accepted.
Last year, Vilas County
property owners properly dis-
posed of more than 6 tons of
hazardous waste through the
Clean Sweep, according to
Ciszek.

Task force says
operating structure
could be changed
Two members of a task
force formed to increase rev-
enue at Eagle River Municipal
Golf Course suggested that
the management and operat-
ing structure of the 18-hole
public course be changed.
Janet Fischer and Chuck
Bonson presented a list of
ideas to other task force mem-
bers last week, including a
proposal to post all positions
at the course, followed by re-
questing rsums and doing
interviews of the potential
employees.
Bonson proposed a new
business structure under the
leadership of a head golf pro-
fessional who would be re-
sponsible for the oversight of
all course operations and an-
swerable to the golf course
committee and/or the City
Council.
This person would develop
and manage the budget, ac-
counting systems, develop and
execute a business plan, mar-
keting and advertising plans,
Bonson said. They would de-
termine staff positions, job de-
scriptions; have written
guidelines for staff and the
functions of the course; deter-
mine staff attire and areas of
responsibility; conduct regu-
lar staff meetings; hire, train
and review staff.
Bonson said the position
would be posted and hiring
criteria would include creden-
tials, PGA/LPGA certification,
education, training, experi-
ence, employment history,
leadership and management
skills.
My proposal doesnt close
the door on existing staff and
its not intended to be all in-
clusive, said Bonson.
Bonson also suggested a
study of cart management,
placing childrens tees in the
fairways and making the
whole golf experience at Eagle
River Golf Course one that is
enjoyable.
Fischer presented seven
points she gathered as a re-
sult of interviews and obser-
vations with management,
staff, former staff, persons in-
volved with leagues and have
held tournaments at the
course, and both pass and
non-pass holders.
The old open-the-door-
and- hope- t hey- wi l l - come
strategy will not increase rev-
enue, said Fischer. The
course needs to be run as a
business and I do not think
this is happening (under the
present structure). No single
person is taking ownership
and no one is held accountable
for lack of growth in its rev-
enue.
Fischer noted public play
has declined each year be-
tween 1998 and 2009. She
suggested a young adult
pass holder for ages 21 to 28
at a discounted rate, more dis-
counted public rates for slow
times, a twilight rate and a
dew rate. She said staff sug-
gestions included the need for
training in customer rela-
tions.
Staff is here for the cus-
tomer and I saw no policy or
procedure manual, no train-
ing manuals, no emergency
policy, Fischer said.
What is the people limit for
the facility? asked Fischer.
Keeping customers happy
keeps them coming back.
There should be a training
program, regular staff meet-
ings to show how to be more
personable, attentive and
helpful to golfers, she said.
Everyone needs to be on the
same page.
Fischer indicated in her
talks with staff, they had
some awesome ideas, but
needed regular staff meetings
to talk about them.
One that sticks in my
mind was a buy/rent (vacation
home) play offer between the
golf course and area realty
and rental businesses, Fisher
recalled from her discussion
with the staff.
Speeding up play and en-
couraging more frequent play
were two more areas Fischer
said could be explored, along
with development of an Inter-
net presence and accepting
change at the course.
Some very difficult deci-
sions must be made about our
golf courses present operating
structure and we need to re-
move personal emotions in
order to do this, she concluded.
Even though Fischer stated
in the beginning Bonson and
she were not here to elimi-
nate jobs, she suggested at
the end that changes might
take place.
Contracts are up at the
end of the year. It is time for
these positions to be posted,
ask for rsums and conduct
interviews, said Fischer.
Have those applying lay out
their business strategies and
let them tell us how they
would bring in more operating
revenue for this golf course.
Have them lay out new focus-
es to enhance play and better
service the consumer.
Course pro Brad Missling
told the committee he has
made contact with Special
Olympics about having a golf
tournament at Eagle River
and said the organization is
interested in exploring this
idea. He indicated he will
make a trip to Wausau with
Wild Eagle Lodge representa-
tives to talk with potential
corporate customers. He said
local motels have the same
type of golf package available.
Task force committee
Chairman Jerry Burkett indi-
cated he will meet with the
Golf Course Advisory Com-
mittee soon.
I want them to tell us what
they want us to do, said Bur-
kett. If I dont like the direc-
tion they give, I may dissolve
this committee. Part of what
we were given is really part of
the Advisory Committees job;
we just need some direction.

10A VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS WEDNESDAY, AUG. 3, 2011
WHILE WERE still in the
heart of the summer boating sea-
son, some tips on boat landing eti-
quette are timely and most appro-
priate.
The goal here is to educate
without bashing anyone, for it
goes without saying that not ev-
eryone has the experience and
skills needed to quickly launch or
load a boat. But it is something
every boat owner needs to work
on.
Nothing can dampen a good day
on the water like a long, frustrat-
ing wait at the boat landing when
it could easily have been avoided.
Its not about being slow, which is
understandable, but more about
those times when people act with-
out courtesy for others.
For expertise on the subject, I
turned to the website of the Great
Walleye Assault (GWA), knowing
the Leinies Guys would have
some intelligent advice on the dos
and donts of using a public land-
ing.
In case you forgot, this is the
group of fishing, beer-drinking
nuts I know who annually orches-
trate a weeklong fishing event in
the Boulder Junction area. A few
years ago, they won some sponsor-
ship from Leinenkugels, the big
North Woods brewery out of
Chippewa Falls.
The joint venture has resulted
in a website, newsletters, publicity
events, television shows and comi-
cal entries in area Independence
Day parades. It also, from time to
time, produces useful material for
this writer.
Buck Tailspinner, the groups
spokesperson and newsletter au-
thor, said the problem is that any-
body who knows how to write a
check can master boat ownership
regardless of their ability to grasp
boating safety or boat landing eti-
quette.
The DNR needs to add a pam-
phlet that goes beyond safety is-
sues, said Tailspinner. Courtesy
on the water and at the boat land-
ing are essential.
Probably the most important
rule, say the Leinies Guys, is that
the boat landing is for launching
and loading your boat. Period.
If youre doing anything
other than those two things,
you dont belong there. Its sort
of like an airport runway
only to be used for actual land-
ing and takeoff. Everything
else is done at the gate, said
Tailspinner.
He said the landing area is not
the place to take the cover off the
boat, put on rain gear, take off
rain gear, make phone calls, load
equipment into the boat, remove
safety straps, trim the motor, find
the mooring rope, clean out the
boat, etc.
Those things are what the
parking lot is for. Do them there.
Only when you are ready to actu-
ally push the boat off the trailer
should you even think about back-
ing into the landing, said Tail-
spinner.
Tailspinner said one of his
biggest frustrations in 2011 has
been at landings designed for two
boat owners to launch/land side by
side at the same time.
Either theyve backed right
down the middle or theyve angled
themselves so the boat is on one
side and the truck on the other
side, he said. A double launch
means two. Pick a side and stay on
it. That or we need more landings
like some in Michigan, where the
pier is in the middle and theres a
launch on each side. Its hard to
screw that up.
Another big concern is that not
enough boat owners know how to
back a trailer.
There are a lot of people head-
ed north every weekend who can
drive like Mario Andretti on the
highway, but hook a boat behind
them and put the transmission in
reverse and its like theyve just
been put in charge of a shuttle
launch, he said. Look, if you
want the trailer to go left, turn the
wheel to the right and vice versa.
Its not that hard. Practice in your
driveway, or an empty parking lot.
Figure it out.
He said people who need help
should ask for it.
If there are other people wait-
ing to launch their boats and you
dont know how to back your trail-
er into the landing, either ask for
help or get out of the way, said
Tailspinner. If there is someone in
your group who knows how to
back a trailer and it isnt you, let
them do it.
Once the boat is launched, the
boat and vehicle should immedi-
ately be moved out of the way.
Youre done. Position your now-
launched boat somewhere other
than the middle of the landing so
others can use it while you park
your vehicle, he said.
Tailspinner suggests that when
people are waiting for a friend or
family member to bring the boat
across the lake from their cabin or
campsite, they should not back
into the landing until the boat ac-
tually arrives.
Weve seen vehicles with empty
trailers sitting in landings for half
an hour waiting for the boat to ar-
rive. Great for them, bad for every-
one else, he said.
Also, parking a vehicle and
trailer at some of the small land-
ings in the North Woods requires
that people be considerate of the
next guy.
Do not park in the area where
others need to turn around, back
up, etc. If it means you have to
walk an extra 50 yards back to the
dock, so be it, he said.
Last, but certainly not least, all
boat owners should check their
boat and trailer for aquatic inva-
sive species. A new state law pro-
hibits the transport of any vegeta-
tion on state roads and highways.
So, there you have it. Advice on
boat landing etiquette from people
who do one heck of a lot of fishing
and boating.
A little common sense and
consideration at the landings
would go a long way toward
making everyones day on the
water more enjoyable.
Summer tips on boat landing etiquette
In the
Outdoors
By
Kurt Krueger
Busy summer lakes make it especially important for boater owners to be ef-
ficient and courteous at the landings. --STAFF PHOTO
With high temperatures in the 80s and a fair amount
of humidity in the air, anglers can expect midsummer
conditions on the lakes.
Water temperatures are now firmly in the 80s
throughout the area, with good weed growth right to the
top on all lakes. There are much better water levels than
last year, but the drainage lakes are still very low.
The warm water temperatures are perfect for every-
thing but fishing. The temperatures, combined with
heavy water usage and high sunlight penetration, make
the daytime fishing inferior to night fishing for some
species, including muskies and walleyes.
Walleye action is definitely better at night than dur-
ing the daytime, except on the Eagle River Chain. There
is a good weed pattern going on the Chain, but every-
where else, its definitely a night feed going on. Try shal-
low weeds on the Chain, with jigs and minnows or slip
bobber rigs for best results. We have reports of fish as
shallow as 3 feet in those weeds. Everywhere else an-
glers should expect action in the evenings and at night.
Jigs and minnows are best, but jigs with half-crawlers
are usually great at this time of the year.
Northern action continues to be very good on all
lakes. These fish are numerous and aggressive, so anglers
can catch them on anything from surface baits to live
chubs. Just look for the weeds, as these fish are moving
through the weed beds looking for minnows and panfish.
Bass action is good, with the largemouth bass hitting
best. They are in the slop and thickest weeds, sometimes
making it frustrating to get to them. As ambush fish,
they use this cover to lie in wait for prey to swim by.
Plastics, spinner baits and surface baits are all working
quite well now. Smallmouths have been less consistent,
sometimes feeding at night and staying inactive during
the daytime. When they are hitting, they will hit any
crayfish imitation you put near them. Live leeches also
work very well for these fish.
Muskie action has been normal for this time of year,
which means frustration on the part of some anglers.
Night fishing has been OK, but not great in the last
week or so. If you are going to try for these fish during
the daytime, look at the deepest weeds you can find on
the lake. All bait types work well now, but many prefer
surface bait for the spectacular hits they can trigger.
Panfish action is good to very good, especially for
those bluegills. Worms or waxies fished in or near the
weeds will bring immediate results on all lakes. Perch
are also in those weeds, but deeper than the gills. Crap-
pies are in the deep brush piles.
If you can stand the heat and humidity, it will be a
great week of fishing.
Good luck and good fishin.
Midsummer conditions
continue on most lakes
Panel members at a wolf forum last Wednesday at Lakeland Union
High School in Minocqua included, from left, DNR Secretary Cathy
Stepp, DNR chief legal counsel Tim Andryk, natural resources at-
torney William Horn and DNR wolf biologist Adrian Wydeven. The
group discussed potential hurdles in Wisconsins effort to manage
its wolf population. --Staff Photos By ANTHONY DREW
A recent claim by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) that two distinct
species of wolves exist in Wis-
consin has led to mounting
frustrations for state officials,
who continue to battle for
state control over the gray
wolf population.
The move by the FWS has
wolf experts suspicious, as
panel members at a wolf forum
last Thursday in Minocqua ac-
cused the service of delaying
the delisting process.
To introduce the concept of
a new species at this stage in
the game, personally, I think
its a trick deal, said natural
resources attorney William
Horn, of Washington D.C. Its
at odds with the experts. I see
no good reason to introduce
this concept unless youre try-
ing to put a poison pill in the
delisting process.
Dividing the Western Great
Lakes wolf population into two
distinct species may render it
impossible to prove the gray
wolf has made a recovery, since
the department has monitored
the wolves as a single group for
the past 30 years.
When animal rights groups
inevitably pursue litigation
following a federal delisting of
the gray wolf, the courts will
likely be on their side, argued
state officials.
Theres no way that the
service can tell anybody,
when it looks at the wolf pop-
ulation in Wisconsin, that
those 700, 800 or 1,000 wolves
are canis lupis or are canis ly-
caon (the Eastern wolf). The
two are morphologically iden-
tical, said Horn.
If they havent done the
status review on canis lycaon,
theres no way that they can
assure a federal judge that all
the wolves are lupis and
therefore warrant delisting,
he said.
Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) Sec-
retary Cathy Stepp said public
support is paramount in order
to send an effective message to
the federal government that
Wisconsin is ready to manage
the gray wolf.
The only way were going to
be able to effectively advocate
for change is to have the pub-
lics help in doing so, said
Stepp. There are livestock
depredations and safety con-
cerns. Wisconsin is ready, will-
ing and able to manage this. We
need the federal governments
support in order to delist.
The panel members agreed
that the Endangered Species
Act has been successful, as
the Western Great Lakes wolf
population continues to rise.
The problem is that there
are many vested interests
who cant admit success, said
Horn. They need to keep
these wolves save the wolves,
because their fundraising de-
pends on it.
In addition to Horn and
Stepp, other speakers at the
forum last Thursday included
moderator Jim Bishop, Wis-
consin DNR chief legal coun-
sel Tim Andryk and Wisconsin
DNR wolf biologist Adrian
Wydeven.

OUTDOORS
Wildwood Outdoor Adven-
tures at 1579 Highway 70 W.
in Eagle River recently
opened for business and has
announced the availability of
guided tours, recreational
equipment rentals and
lessons.
The new business offers
rentals of stand-up paddle-
boards, kayaks and canoes,
pontoon tours and guided
trips.
Founder and owner of
Wildwood Outdoor Adven-
tures Jason Bach said the
business will rent wake surf-
boards in the future, and cur-
rently has a fishing-model
paddleboard in stock.
Bach said he has been an
outdoor enthusiast since
childhood.
I was first introduced to
the North Woods life of hunt-
ing and fishing by my grand-
father, an artist who did many
paintings of beautiful North
Woods scenery, which are now
displayed in our shop, he
said.
With 18 years of guiding
experience in rock climbing,
mountain biking and hiking,
along with 27 years of experi-
ence in snowboarding and
mountaineering, the outdoors
are a familiar arena for Bach.
The outdoors, whether its
summer or winter, is second
nature to me, he said.
Bringing together the out-
door activities he loves most,
Bachs family-owned business
presents the North Woods
with opportunities including
guided snowboarding trips to
Alaska. But Bach said hed
like the shop to serve another
purpose, too.
The North Woods is a
large playground, which
makes it hard to find other
people who enjoy the same ac-
tivities, he said. We would
like our shop to be a place for
people to meet up and set up
trips with other outdoor en-
thusiasts.
Bach added that he was ap-
preciative to the public for al-
lowing him to pursue his pas-
sion.
Thanks for allowing us to
make a living doing what we
love, he said. This is why we
are able to promise to do our
utmost to provide you with
good prices and great adven-
tures.

10 end-of-winter estimate.
This is probably more wolves
than have existed in the state
since the 1800s, according to
Wydeven.
The annual winter wolf
count relies on aerial tracking
of radio-collared wolves, trail
cameras and snow-track sur-
veys by DNR and volunteer
trackers. Also included are
wolf sightings by members of
the public. Wydeven said the
agency has conducted these
counts since the winter of
1979-80 when there were 25
wolves in the state.
A total of 202 wolf packs
were detected in Wisconsin
during the winter count, con-
sisting of at least two adult
wolves each. Biologists found
44 packs distributed across
central Wisconsin and 158
packs in northern Wisconsin.
The largest packs in the state
were the Moose Road pack in
Douglas County and Fort
McCoy pack in Monroe Coun-
ty with 12 wolves. At least 47
packs had five or more wolves
in them.
Although there have been
some indications in recent
years that population growth
of the Wisconsin wolf popula-
tion had started to slow
down, surveys from winter
2011 indicate the population
is still growing at a signifi-
cant rate.
In 2010, the Wisconsin
DNR initiated a Web notifica-
tion of all wolf attacks on dogs
for hunters and others con-
cerned about wolf depreda-
tions. People can have their e-
mail address added to the no-
tification list by going to the
DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.
Wildlife researchers are
asking hunters and wildlife
watchers to continue to send
in summer deer observations
during August and September.
In 2010, the Wisconsin De-
partment of Natural Re-
sources (DNR) launched Op-
eration Deer Watch, a new
summer deer observation ef-
fort involving outdoor enthu-
siasts and hunters.
Summer deer observations
have been part of the DNR
deer management program for
more than 50 years but, until
last season, only staff observa-
tions and those of other re-
source and law enforcement
professionals were recorded.
The number of deer seen
with and without fawns are
indicators of annual deer herd
production. Data from Opera-
tion Deer Watch will be used
with DNR observations to
help determine the fawn-to-
doe ratio.
We ask that you continue
to participate in this impor-
tant survey by taking the
time to document information
about your summer deer ob-
servations, said Brian Dhuey,
DNR wildlife surveys re-
searcher.
The department is interest-
ed in sightings of bucks, does
and fawns. Last summer, Op-
eration Deer Watch generated
more than 4,000 observations.
A total of 9,662 deer were ob-
served by 1,378 individual ob-
servers during August and
September 2010. The state-
wide estimate for the 2010
fawn-to-doe ratio using Oper-
ation Deer Watch data was 89
fawns per 100 does.
To participate in the sur-
vey, go to the Wisconsin DNR
website at dnr.wi.gov and key-
word search operation deer
watch. Once on the Web page,
watch the video survey in-
structions and then click on
the link to the survey to
record sightings.
Please ensure that the
date, deer management unit,
and the type and number of
deer observed are recorded, he
said.
The survey period began
Aug. 1 and will continue until
Sept. 30. A report summarizing
the results of 2011 deer obser-
vations will be produced at the
end of the survey period and
sent to all individuals who
enter their e-mail address on
every observation form.
Hunters and wildlife watchers

Eagle River Area Chamber
of Commerce & Visitors Cen-
ter, along with Musky Clubs
Alliance of Wisconsin, will
host the National Champi-
onship Musky Open on more
than 70 area lakes Aug. 19-21.
More than 1,000 anglers
participated in this event in
2010 and we are looking for-
ward to that many again this
year, said chamber events co-
ordinator Kim Emerson. The
National Championship
Musky Open is a total catch-
and-release tournament that
provides great family fun for
all ages and skill levels.
Presently, more than 600
anglers are preregistered.
We are looking forward to
another 500 anglers by tour-
nament time, said Emerson.
In 2010, there were 60
youth anglers and 63 hus-
band-and-wife teams. Last
years anglers registered 145
legal muskies with 50
1
/4 inch-
es being the largest fish
caught and released.
If any angler wishes to still
enter this tournament, regis-
tration information can be
found at muskyopen.com or
by calling the Eagle River
Area chamber of commerce at
1-(800) 359-6315.
After Aug. 1, registration
will be taken at the Vilas
County Fairgrounds (tourna-
ment headquarters) starting
Thursday evening, Aug. 18.
The cost is $55 if registering
at tournament headquarters.
Registration includes a tour-
nament hat and T-shirt and a
chance to win a 2011 Ranger
boat.
Everyone who enters the
tournament gets a chance to
win the $20,000-plus Mer-
cury-powered Ranger boat
with a RangerTrail trailer,
whether you catch a muskie
or not, said Emerson.

The Aug. 20 end date for
the 2011 summer game bird
brood survey is approaching
and wildlife managers urge
hunters and wildlife watchers
to continue sending in reports.
Beginning June 12, the Wis-
consin Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) asked Wis-
consinites to record all game
bird broods observations via an
online reporting form.
By recording broods of
ring-necked pheasant, ruffed
grouse, turkey, bobwhite
quail, gray partridge, prairie
chicken and sharp-tailed
grouse, the state has another
measure of brood production,
which helps biologists make
management decisions, said
Brian Dhuey, DNR wildlife
surveys researcher.
During the first few weeks
of the 2011 survey period, the
most frequently observed
game bird specie was turkeys
(82% of the observations). Of
those observations, 32% of
hen turkeys had a brood and
the brood averaged 5.5 poults
or young turkeys. This is
slightly ahead of last years
final count which found
broods averaging 3.9 poults
each. Biologists cautioned,
however, that the 2011 data
are preliminary and could
change as young birds die
during the remainder of the
rearing season.
Ruffed grouse composed
13% of the game bird observa-
tions. Brood size for ruffed
grouse was 6.3 young per
brood. The remaining 5% of
the reports are ring-necked
pheasant observations. Of the
ring-necked pheasants report-
ed, 40% of the hens had a
brood and the brood averaged
5.5 young per brood.
Observers recorded 62% of
observations as complete
counts, meaning all the young
in the brood were counted.
Additionally, observers re-
corded 130 lone turkey hens
and three lone pheasant hens.
The counties with highest re-
porting rates are Dane,
Marathon, Rock and Price.

Even though the calendar just flipped over to Au-
gust, some area high school student athletes will
begin practicing for the fall sports season this week.
Coaches are going through equipment, athletic di-
rectors are making final adjustments in the schedules
and athletes are starting to get in shape with person-
al training and contact days with coaches.
At Northland Pines and Three Lakes, football prac-
tice begins today, Wednesday, Aug. 3, with coaches is-
suing equipment and holding the first workouts. Boys
soccer practice gets under way Monday Aug. 8, and
girls volleyball and cross country begins Monday, Aug.
15.
The first games of the season will be football.
Northland Pines will face Niagara and Phillips in a
scrimage Saturday, Aug. 13, and the Eagles will open
the season with a nonconference game against Three
Lakes Friday, Aug. 19. That will also be the annual
Hall of Fame Game in which Eagle River/Northland
Pines High School athletes and coaches will be induct-
ed into the hall.
For the second season, the Northland Pines football
team will play in the West PAC Conference in the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Eagles dropped out
of the Great Northern Conference in football in 2009
and played an independent schedule that season
against teams closer to its school enrollment size. Last
year was the Eagles first season in the West PAC
playing Calumet, Hancock, Ironwood, Houghton Cen-
tral, Ontonagon, LAnse and West Iron County.
The West PAC Conference was a good fit for the
Northland Pines football team, resulting in many
competitive games last year. Pines coach Jason Foster
is looking forward to another exciting year on the foot-
ball field at Pines. When fans arrive for the first game
Aug. 19, they will notice a new broadcast, film and
maintenance building behind the Eagles bleachers.
With fall sports practices kicking off this week, it
means high school sports fans will be back cheering
on their favorite teams in a few short weeks.
Fall sports practices
kick off this week
School recently hired former
UW-Whitewater National Col-
legiate Athletic Association Di-
vision 3 volleyball player
Margo Rogers-Anderson as the
new girls volleyball coach.
Rogers-Anderson previously
coached in Minnesota for Fair-
mont Middle School and the
Minnesota Junior Volleyball
programs 16s team.
It was different being on
the other side of the court, she
said. But I thoroughly enjoyed
the new challenge of helping
others improve their skills.
Pines new recruit is also an
Ladies Professional Golfers
Association of America (LPGA)
pro golf instructor, working as
director of golf instruction at
Eagle River Golf Course.
The golf business will be
slowing down just as volleyball
season gets into full swing,
said Rogers-Anderson. I have
already had two contact days
with some of the players from
the program and Im very opti-
mistic after seeing the talent
and the energy these girls pos-
sess.
After leading the Clayton
High School volleyball team to
the state championship as
team co-captain in 1990,
Rogers-Andersons jersey and
number were retired.
She then moved on to play
NCAA Division 3 volleyball at
UW-Whitewater, earning sec-
ond-team All-American honors
during her senior year. She
holds all-time records for
fourth in serving aces, ninth in
kills and 24th in digs in the
history of UW-Whitewater.
After graduating with a
bachelor of science degree in
physical education, I moved to
San Diego, Calif., where I took
a position as a personal train-
er, said Rogers-Anderson.
During this time, I started my
six-year apprenticeship in the
LPGA Teaching and Club Pro-
fessional Division.
A golf career forced Rogers-
Anderson to travel between
San Diego and Minnesota to
make ends meet as a golf
teaching professional, she said.
While chasing one dream, I
felt a sense of loss after letting
go my lifetime dream of pursu-
ing a career in professional
beach volleyball, she said.
Volleyball had been every-
thing to me at one time, and I
always knew someday I would
get back to the sport that held
my heart and soul.
Rogers-Anderson said shes
looking forward to her new po-
sition at Pines. When asked
about her coaching philosophy,
she said it was pretty simple.
Work hard, have fun along
the way and believe you can ac-
complish anything, she said.
Well spend a lot of time work-
ing on the fundamentals. I
have high expectations, and I
can tell the girls do, too. Im re-
ally looking forward to the sea-
son.
The teams first official prac-
tice will be Monday, Aug. 15,
from 3:35 to 6 p.m.
My ultimate goal is to help
facilitate a winning tradition
for this program, said the
coach. Im looking forward to
meeting the rest of the team
and their parents, and I en-
courage an open door policy.

While the large crowd for
the Hartman Well Drilling B-
Mod Shootout enjoyed the ac-
tion of the stock car races at
Eagle River Speedway Tues-
day night, numerous acci-
dents meant some drivers did-
nt share the joy.
An accident caused one fea-
ture winner to be determined
after only five laps, and in an-
other feature, an accident oc-
cured before the race began.
The 25-lap B-Mod special
feature saw the two track
champions dating back to
2008 knocked out of the race
after only seven laps. They
were 2008 track champion,
Rob Rodziczak of Rhinelander
and the two-time defending
track champion Jason Zdroik
of Eagle River.
The place to be in a race
with drivers from throughout
Wisconsin and Michigan com-
peting was in front. That is
where Bruce Belland of Eagle
River started the race, and
never let up his lead. Mickey
Nosser of Phillips and Travis
Cain of Oconto rounded out
the top three.
One of the best races of the
season was in the third B-Mod
heat race, in which Nosser
and Jesse Aho of Toivola,
Mich., did battle throughout
the race. Both cars were side
by side to the finish line. Offi-
cials held a conference to de-
termine the race winner, Aho
by inches.
Mickey is a great racer
and I knew that it was going
to be a good race, and it was,
said Aho.
Right after the green flag
fell to start the Pure Stock
feature, Nate Langberg put
his car on its side. After the
tow truck righted Langbergs
car, it returned to take Ron
Reeses heavily damaged car
back to the pits. In the next
lap, two cars locked bumpers
and ended up on the grass in-
field.
Dustin Miller of Rhine-
lander then led the pack for
five laps. On that lap, another
two cars locked together, re-
sulting in a hard crash into
the wall in front of the fans
near the pit entrance.
After that mishap, the race
was called with Miller win-
ning his ninth consecutive
Pure Stocks feature.
Jeff Klopstein of Baraga,
Mich., held off Nick Visser of
Elcho to win the Street Stocks
feature. Ty Springer of Eagle
River continued his domi-
nance in the Junior Sprints
with another feature win.
Wyatt McIntyre of Greenland,
Mich., took a second, and 6-
year-old Tommi Jo Springer
took a third.
Robby Resch held off Mike
Hicks to take the Micro
Sprints 600 feature. Earlier in
the night, Hicks turned a
14.55-second lap, just missing
the record-setting time of
14.50 seconds that Resch set
the previous week.
Stock car racing will return
to Eagle River Speedway
Tuesday night, with gates
opening at 6 p.m., hot laps
starting at 7 p.m. and racing
beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Eagle River Speedway will
host the Auto Value Great

Tuesday, Aug. 9. That night

Eagles well-equipped
for catching fish
Keen eyesight and precision flying are the bald eagles most
productive tools when it comes to locating and grabbing
wounded fish from a lakes surface. Fish are the eagles fa-
vorite and most plentiful food during the open-water sea-
son, and most eagle nests are located on lakes and rivers.

Oneidas zoning destruction
disturbing, but not surprising
The Oneida County Planning and Zoning
Committee is proposing to further destroy the
countys shoreland zoning protections, this time
by eliminating special lot width and lot size re-
strictions on lakes of 50 acres and less.
In a nutshell, the county that once boasted
some of the toughest zoning regulations in the
state wants to further dismantle rules intended
to protect lakes and streams from overdevelop-
ment that can lead to sedimentation, destruction
of naturally buffered shorelines and impacts to
water quality.
It was 11 years ago, after an extensive public
input process, that the county adopted a lake
classification system that treated lakes of 50
acres and less differently than larger bodies of
water. The regulations followed a public outcry
regarding overdevelopment of smaller lakes, in-
cluding a 17-acre lake in Three Lakes that the
developer enveloped with 30-some lots.
The zoning committee took to public hearing
Tuesday of this week a proposal to eliminate the
entire classification system so that smaller
lakes of any size would be subject to the same de-
velopment standards and pressures as their larg-
er counterparts.
Zoning Administrator Karl Jennrich is stuck
between a rock and a hard place, having to ap-
pease committee members and other county su-
pervisors who control his employment. But he
aptly pointed out that the reasons for the added
protections were built into the code.
Under 9.93, there was the rationale saying
that a variety of studies had indicated that the
impacts of development can diminish water qual-
ity, natural fish reproduction, wildlife habitat,
aquatic life habitat and natural beauty, he
noted. These are the very things that people
seek out when they choose to live on Oneida
County lakes, rivers and streams.
Despite the warnings of studies and other
scientific findings, zoning committee members
have chosen to focus on a handful of cases that
are causing some financial hardship for lakefront
owners. While that should always be an impor-
tant concern, the fact of the matter is that as
long as there is zoning, there will always be
hardship cases.
There is no perfect regulation that is fair in
every situation. No matter where you draw the
line in the sand, there will always be some prop-
erty owners who just miss out on the less restric-
tive rules. And some of the people with the hard-
ships bought their lake lot knowing it was a 200-
foot minimum that couldnt be subdivided.
The countys plan is disturbing though not
surprising, for recent zoning committees have
virtually destroyed what were once some of the
best shoreland protection standards in Wiscon-
sin. You wouldnt think Oneida County, a water
resources treasure, would be so careless as to
allow complete destruction and reconstruction of
any structure just 10 feet from the water.
We support the revised NR 115 shoreland
rules that Republicans are currently trying to
eliminate. Very similar rules have worked in
Vilas County for over a decade.

ITS NO SURPRISE the
world is changing in these
times of Google, Facebook,
Twitter and Apple, otherwise
known as the era of the social
media. There is a striking
disconnect from generation to
generation. Heres an exam-
ple of the green thing.
In the checkout line at the
grocery store, the young
cashier told an older woman,
who was a very young 60,
that she should bring her
own grocery bags because
plastic bags arent good for
the environment.
The woman apologized to
her and explained, We didnt
have the green thing in my
day.
The clerk responded,
Thats our problem today.
Your generation did not care
enough to save our environ-
ment.
She was right. Our genera-
tion didnt have the green
thing in its day. Back then,
we returned milk bottles,
soda bottles and beer bottles
to the store. The store sent
them back to the plant to be
washed and sterilized and re-
filled, so it could use the
same bottles over and over.
So they really were recycled.
But we didnt have the
green thing back in our day.
We also walked up stairs,
because we didnt have an es-
calator in every store and of-
fice building. We walked to
the grocery store and didnt
climb into a 300-horsepower
machine every time we had
to go two blocks. But she was
right, we didnt have the
green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the
babys diapers because we
didnt have the throwaway
kind. We dried clothes on a
line, not in an energy-gob-
bling machine burning up 220
volts. Wind and solar power
really did dry the clothes.
Kids got hand-me-down
clothes from their brothers
and sisters, not always
brand-new clothing. But that
young lady was right, we did-
nt have the green thing back
in our day. Back then, we had
one TV, or radio, in the house,
not a TV in every room. And
the screen was about 19 inch-
es, not 50 inches.
In the kitchen, we blended
and stirred most everything
we ate because we didnt
have an electric machine to
do it. We didnt have
prepacked dinners and we
didnt have a microwave
oven. When we packaged a
fragile item to send in the
mail, we used a wadded-up
old newspaper to cushion it,
not plastic bubble wrap.
Speaking of the post office,
I can remember when those
jobs were reserved for mem-
bers of the military, when
their days of service were
completed. Today, those
heroes have a very high rate
of unemployment.
Back in the day, we didnt
fire up an engine and burn
gasoline just to cut the lawn.
We didnt have 1-acre lawns
to mow and we didnt have
riding mowers. As a result,
we didnt need to go to health
clubs to run on treadmills
that operate on electricity.
Now that I think about it,
we didnt have the green
thing back then. We drank
from a fountain when we
were thirsty instead of using
a cup or a plastic bottle every
time we had a drink of water.
I saw a statistic the other
day. We humans use enough
plastic bottles each year that
if they were lined up end to
end, they would stretch to the
moon and back several times!
Back in my day, people in
the cities took the streetcar,
or a bus, and kids rode their
bikes to school or walked in-
stead of turning their parents
into a 24-hour taxi service.
No wonder kids are obese!
Our house had one, maybe
two, electrical outlets in a
room, not an entire bank of
sockets to power a dozen ap-
pliances. We didnt need a
computerized gadget to re-
ceive a signal beamed from
satellites 2,000 miles out in
space in order to find the
nearest pizza joint.
But isnt it sad the current
generation laments how
wasteful we old folks were
just because we didnt have
the green thing back then?

the boat as you drop a small
anchor overboard just outside
a lily pad bed where slab
bluegills are stacked up and
waiting for you.
You pick up your 5-foot ul-
tralight rod with 2-pound test
line on the reel, clip on a tiny
bobber above a bright orange
jig, pin a waxie on the hook
and make your first cast.
Within seconds, the bobber
is bounced under and the
first hefty bluegill of the day
is hoisted aboard.
It doesnt get any better

other Wisconsin deer season.
The last minutes of dark-

finally, the magic moment is
at hand and legal shooting
hours arrive.
From that moment on,
every tiny sound of the forest
is picked up by your straining
ears. The first awakening
chickadee of the day scratch-
es the bark of a birch tree six
feet away and you think,
Could that be a buck skulk-
ing along yon ridge?
An hour passes, then two.
Shots are heard several times
from all points of the com-
pass, and you begin to won-
der the same thing you won-

Two hours later your ques-

you are watching reaches
your ears.
Then there he is a buck,
your buck. Hes a six-pointer
with a foot-wide spread. You
center the crosshairs on his
chest, squeeze the trigger and
elation fills your heart as he
whirls, takes two leaps and
collapses.
He is truly a thing of beau-

for this next year anyway,
there will be meat in your
freezer and a wonderful
memory to warm your heart.

There are too many
events, too many movies and
too much television. There
are too many books to read.
The newspaper keeps com-
ing. Theres no time to sit
down and stare out the win-
dow without feeling you

Thinking and reading are
two of the things I put off
doing because theres so
much to do. Some days, I can
stuff my day so full of going
places and doing things that
I can get from breakfast to

think the rancor, the acrimony
that exists, will end anytime
soon? The fault for this is bi-
partisan. The grab for power is
fueled by the out-of-control
lobby industry. It has been
suggested our representatives
should be like NASCAR
teams. When in public, they
should be made to have the
names and decals of the con-
tributors to their campaign
funds plastered on their
clothes for full disclosure.
Our national debt crisis
needs to be addressed. As a
country, we cant continue on
this pace the pace that re-
quires us to borrow 44 cents of
every dollar that is spent. And,
it could get worse! The system
is broken and does need to be
fixed. It is unsustainable.
There is no silver lining to this
situation.
Also of interest: Our trou-
bles are self-inflicted. Weve al-
lowed the situation to build
over many administrations. It
is the fault of Republicans and
Democrats. Stop placing the
blame and start taking re-
sponsibility for fixing the
mess. We are at a crossroads,
like it or not.
It is also interesting to note,
despite what agreement is fi-
nally reached, a current
Congress or White House cant
obligate or dictate restrictions
on future leaders. Therefore,
any agreement adopted now
wont be worth the paper its
written on three, five or 10
years from now.
Ill ask again: With such a
divided country, does anyone
see a day in the foreseeable fu-
ture when we have a presi-
dent and a Congress that
works in harmony for the bet-
terment of the people?

The telephone is a major
time-consumer. Schools should
teach courses in how to make
phone calls brief. There would
be one hour in every day when
no one made any phone calls.
Telephones could be pro-
grammed not to ring during
that hour and a recording
would say, We are at home
having a quiet time and dont
want to talk to anyone.
We could get ourselves
some free time if sporting
events were not drawn out the
way they are to provide more
time for commercials. Every
event takes too long. The base-
ball season, for instance, drags
on forever. Lets get on with it
and have the World Series.
I think of myself as particu-

Its a grand Indian summer
day. Puffy clouds drift over-
head and a scant holding of
leaves clatter in the breeze as
you work your way along the
edge of a favored thicket.
A brown and white explo-
sion of energy works back and
forth ahead of you, stub tail
wagging as he works a hot
scent. Suddenly the springer
spaniel stops, and 10 yards
ahead of him an even greater
explosion of energy is set off as
a brown-winged rocket tears
off through the saplings.
Just as it has for decades,
your 20-gauge swings up, your
eye follows down the barrel
and the little gun cracks apart
the afternoon quiet.
The bird is rocked sideways
and tumbles into crumpled
ferns. The springer leaps for-
ward, pounces and straight-
away brings the plump ruffed
grouse to hand.

than this. Or does it?
Every moment we of the
forest and waters spend time
casting a lure, toting a shot-
gun or sitting in a deer stand
is a moment to be treasured
forever. They are some of the
greatest moments of our lives,
and whether or not we take
anything home does not mat-
ter. It is simply just the being
there, we say, but yet that is
not everything.
Some of the finest moments
of all occur when we return
home, sometimes weeks or
months later when we open
the freezer, pull out a package
of venison tenderloin, a bag of
walleye fillets or a brace of
wild mallards and set the grill
or stove to work.
You may say it takes a four-
star restaurant to bring full
pleasure to ones senses, but
anyone who carries rod or gun
knows that no food is better
than that prepared by a
hunter or fisherman standing
over a cast-iron fry pan filled
with bubbling oil and browned
fish, or a grill covered with se-
lect cuts of venison or moose
or partridge.
A bunch of us did that last
weekend, getting together for
a wild game feast that truly
was fit for a king.
Most hunters also consider
themselves master chefs and,
although many are sadly lack-
ing in culinary skills, John
Kazda is not one of them.
His savory pulled pork
made from wild Florida boar,
caribou meatballs and roasted
bear chunks would send any
restaurant chef to the minor
leagues.
The same goes for my
Birkebeiner skiing friend,
Scott Joswiak. His moose and
elk steaks smothered in gravy
and served over mashed pota-
toes, along with his smoked
moose on a stick were some
of the best wild eats I have
ever enjoyed.
I modestly figured the mal-
lards and wild turkey I
smoked, plus a batch of
bluegill fillets I had been sav-
ing for the occasion expertly
fried in a little oil by Larry
McCaughn were nothing to
be sneered at either. Oh, and
did I mention my partride pie?
Um-uhm.
Along with two tables full of
appetizers, salads, sides and
desserts, our wild game feast
was attacked heartily by over
30 friends who thoroughly en-
joyed our kind of food.
Now the last pans have been
scrubbed, the leftovers polished
off and the full bellies at last
eased of their heavy loads.
The best thing is that, come
fall, we will have to head to
far-flung places like Ontario,
Canada; North Dakota;
Wyoming; Idaho and else-
where to replenish our sup-
plies for another year of wild
game culinary delights.
OK, now I can say it. It does-
nt get any better than this.

Dear Editor:
I am tired of reading the let-
ters in your newspaper trying
to paint Kim Simac as an ex-
tremist.
There is also a television ad
accusing her of being too ex-
treme. Lets examine the facts.
Jim Holperin ran away from
his job for three weeks because
he lacked the courage to stay in
the state and do his duty to the
people he represents. That
sounds pretty extreme to me.
You or I couldnt run away from
a job for three weeks and then
be hailed as a hero.
Jim Holperin supported $4.7
billion in tax increases for Wis-
consin citizens. That sounds ex-
treme, doesnt it?
Jim Holperins strongest
supporters are the unions in
this state. The whole nation
saw how extreme they were
last February while vandaliz-
ing the state Capitol and gen-
erally promoting vitriolic
rhetoric, violence and dishon-
esty among our states public
schoolteachers.
There is a clear choice in this
election between the slick career
politician, Jim Holperin, who
thinks he can fool the voters one
more time into letting him keep
his office, and Kim Simac.
Kim is not a career politi-
cian. She is not a pawn of the
unions. She shares the same
traditional, patriotic values as
the mainstream voters of this
district. We desperately need to
break the stronghold of the
union smear machine that is so
desperate that they cannot
sensibly debate the issues at
hand, but have to resort to the
lowest forms of political dirty
tricks. Kim Simac deserves all
of our support in the upcoming
election.
Darrell Fliflet
Eagle River
Simac is the clear choice
Dear Editor:
I want to thank Jerry Zim-
pelmann for his fine letter re-
garding the political fiasco we
find our 12th Senate District
and our state in. It is truly sad
that we find ourselves in such a
political mess due to a few
renegade elected servants re-
fusing to perform the duties for
which they were elected.
On Aug. 16, we voters in the
12th District will be given an
opportunity to rectify our error
of Nov. 5, 2010. Kim Simac is a
hardworking conservative who
will represent all of her con-
stituents, the state and our
great country.
And I can guarantee that
she will not shirk her responsi-
bilities by leaving the state or
hiding out. She has pledged to
be a senator for all the people
of the 12th District, not just the
public workers and their union
leaders. America has come a
long way in her 235 years, but
we have been in a downhill spi-
ral for the past several years.
There is far too much out-
side interference in our states
politics by national labor
unions and special-interest
groups. We, the voters, are the
ones to elect and vote our
choice candidates into office.
They must not be removed by
recall for performing their du-
ties. Recall is to be used only
for malfeasance in office. Leav-
ing ones post and not living up
to their responsibility meets
this test.
For fair and honest repre-
sentation, vote for Kim Simac
for your 12th District Senate
seat Aug. 16. With your vote
and Gods grace, we can still
turn our state back to the peo-
ple. May God bless Wisconsin
and these United States.

Simac best for 12th District
Dear Editor:
I want to publicly thank
Sen. Jim Holperin for his sup-
port for the young people of
northern Wisconsin. By delay-
ing the inevitable decision to
dramatically reduce funding
for public education, Sen.
Holperin gave many districts
critical time to assess the situ-
ation and develop plans that
would assure consistency and
quality as we enter the 2011-
12 school year.
Some would like to portray
the senators actions as an ab-
dication of his appointed du-
ties. I, on the other hand, ap-
plaud his decision and view
this not as abdication, but as a
necessity so someone could ad-
vocate for the voiceless young
people of northern Wisconsin.
Sen. Holperin was willing to
make a decision that he knew
could have negative repercus-
sions professionally. However,
just as our early founding fore-
fathers, he based his actions on
what was right for the future of
this country and state, and not
on a personal agenda or politi-
cal gain.
I am starting my 36th year
in public education and I have
never been more excited to see
the fall semester begin. Over
the last five years, I have had
the opportunity to speak to
thousands of young people
from northern Wisconsin to a
First Nation Reserve in north-
ern Ontario with the message
of Dream It-Believe It-Achieve
It: The Power of an Educated
Mind.
I will never grow tired of see-
ing the faces of our students
light up with hope and optimism
as these young people internal-
ize the message that there is a
purpose for their life. And that
purpose can only be realized
through a great core foundation-
al education experience.
The future of this country
stands firmly secured not in
bailouts, oil prices, tax breaks,
the next elected officials, but
exclusively in the knowledge,
skills, integrity and ambition of
our young people. Over 70% of
all future jobs created will re-
quire a minimum of two years
of post-secondary readiness.
Thirty years ago, a high
school diploma offered a signif-
icant variety of job opportuni-
ties. In the 21st century, a high
school diploma will assure you
about 32 hours a week of work
at $8.45 an hour! That is not
acceptable: Education and edu-
cation alone is the future of this
nation!
I encourage Sen. Holperin to
continue his fight the good
fight of belief in our young peo-
ple. I literally have a hundred
stories of young people from
northern Wisconsin who in the
past were afforded an opportu-
nity to attend the outstanding
post-secondary systems that
we offered in this state.
Scott Walkers budget and
supporters of that budget will
eliminate post-secondary oppor-
tunities for many of our young
people. The current budget will
now significantly increase tu-
ition cost, and eliminate oppor-
tunities through the cutback of
program opportunities in all of
our post-secondary schools.
My personal professional
goal is to make sure every
young person I work with in
my current position as a career
pathway director in a local high
school has the skills that will
ensure that they can success-
fully complete a college, techni-
cal school, apprenticeship or
military experience.
What an economic boost to
our states economy with a gen-
eration of highly skilled young
people earning starting wages
between $35,000 and $55,000! A
highly skilled labor force is the
solution to the revenue issue
our state is facing. Education is
the answer, not the enemy!
As a compassionate fiscal
conservative, I strongly encour-
age all voting adults in the
12th Senate District to support
Sen. Holperin in this upcoming
recall election. He deserves the
opportunity to complete the
term he was elected for. I have
watched him closely through-
out this entire political drama.
He has handled himself with
political professionalism. He
brings the necessary balance to

Jim Holperin is good for education
The Wisconsin Technical
College System (WTCS) is
celebrating its 100th an-
niversary. As a system,
however, were actually cel-
ebrating the fact that the
technical colleges have
been making futures for
100 years. Within the tradi-
tion of Wisconsins techni-
cal colleges, much has
changed, but our principles
have remained the same.
Our commitment to our
industry and community
partners keeps our colleges
as vibrant and relevant as
ever. These relationships
help Wisconsin continue to
compete with top states in
manufacturing, agricul-
ture, energy and the avail-
ability of skilled workers.
The basis for the techni-
cal colleges inception and
still the mission to this day
is matching real-world edu-
cation to the needs of a con-
stantly changing economy.
In 1911, Wisconsin was
the first state to create a
system to provide high-
quality occupational train-
ing opportunities. The edu-
cation landscape has
changed tremendously
since the beginning of the
continuation schools or
technical colleges, as we
know them today. In those
days, it was common for
students to drop out of high
school to work full time.
Over time, these workers
found that their lack of edu-
cation limited their ability
to contribute and advance
in the workplace.
Working with employers,
our technical colleges pro-
vided the relevant educa-
tion these students would
need for success on the job.
Many of the training oppor-
tunities were in areas like
millinery (hat making),
baking, telegraphy, horse-
shoeing and sheet-metal
manufacturing. At the time,
these students were using
the latest technology and
obtaining specific skills em-
ployers depended upon.
These days, our mission
has expanded to provide ed-
ucation that may articulate
into a four-year college or
university program, but the
majority of our 400,000 stu-
dents enroll in programs fo-
cused on specific career or
technical occupations. Our
colleges continue to prepare
employees with critical
workplace skills.
Students learn alongside
instructors with real-world
experience and develop
their expertise with the lat-
est equipment and industry
practices used in the work-
place.
For this entire past cen-
tury, our graduates excelled
in critical occupations we

all rely upon daily. As technol-
ogy expands and employers in-
creasingly adapt to compete,
our graduates fill jobs in areas
like firefighting, robotics, radio-
graphy, Web design, welding,
nursing and more. The techni-
cal colleges currently offer over
300 programs in every industry
sector around the state.
Even in the current econo-
my, WTCS graduates have
great opportunities to pursue
family-supporting careers. Of
the 26,000 WTCS graduates in
2010, 88% were employed with-
in six months of graduation
and three out of four were em-
ployed in a job specifically re-
lated to their training.
The key to our students em-
ployability is the technical col-
lege tradition of responsive-
ness. Our employer partner-
ships are as critical today as
they were in the early 1900s.
Business and industry repre-
sentatives serve on college ad-
visory committees, evaluating
existing programs and develop-
ing new ones to satisfy indus-
try and technology changes.
Requiring instructors to
have both teaching and indus-
try experience ensures our cur-
riculum and teaching methods
provide practical, hands-on
learning experiences. Working
with industry and community
partners to provide state-of-
the-art facilities and equipment
enables graduates to enter the
workforce job-ready. The jobs
may have changed, but our na-
tionally recognized model for
preparing students for them is
very much the same.
In fact, The Georgetown
Center Pathways to Prosperi-
ty Report projects 14 million
job openings over the next
seven years will require a tech-
nical college degree or training.
National leaders increas-
ingly commend technical edu-
cation as a critical component
in workforce development and
our nations competitive suc-
cess in a global economy.
Thats why our graduates are
finding jobs and why Wiscon-
sin is faring better than many
other states in the economic
recovery.
No one can predict what the
next 100 years will bring, but it
will certainly include new tech-
nologies, changing workplace
needs and a continuing vital
partnership between employ-
ers and the technical colleges
to ensure Wisconsins future
economic success. That is some-
thing to celebrate.

READER OPINION
Dear Editor:
Lately, there seem to be a
number of letters indicating
that Conover residents are in
support of using our town roads
for all-terrain vehicle (ATV)
travel. Just to set the record
straight, I would like to share
my thoughts on the subject
since I have lived in Conover for
more than 20 years now. The
last 10 years, I have lived just
off Church Road, one of the
roads proposed for ATV travel:
I am adamantly opposed to
ATV travel on roads in Conover
for the following reasons:
Just because someone choos-
es to purchase a particular type
of recreational vehicle does not
mean we have to be forced to
change our laws, comfort and
environment to accommodate
them. They knew the recreation-
al location limitations when
they made their purchase. I re-
sent being pressured to change
my environment because of
their recreational choice.
Providing ATVs the right to
travel down Church Road in
their own lane from 6 a.m. to 10
p.m. from early spring all the
way through fall is ridiculous.
Church Road was designed to
accommodate lanes for two
cars. Period. The road has a
number of blind curves which
are dangerous enough with two
lanes of cars . . . how are we
supposed to allow for a third
lane of ATVs which we wont
even be able to see until the last
minute? What about the fishing
spot at Pioneer Creek how is
that narrow road section sup-
posed to support families fish-
ing on both sides of the road
plus two lanes of cars and one
lane for ATVs throughout the
day and evening?
What about all the people
who walk the road in the sum-
mer with their dogs and their
children? What rights might
they be forced to give up for
ATVs? They live on this road,
pay taxes for property on this
road and walk the road be-
cause of the beauty and peace
and quiet it offers.
Because Church Road is full
of curves, allowing ATVs their
own lane for travel means that
the drivers on this road will be
forced to stay behind the slower
row of ATVs, or even a single
ATV, for much of the distance of
the road since passing on
curves on this narrow road
would be dangerous. In essence,
the ATVs would own the road.
This brings up another
thought. Why does everyone
think there would only be one
lane for ATVs? Are we to as-
sume they will all go in the
same direction? So, if there are
two lanes for ATVs, where does
that leave cars and people?
There are so many spots on
Church Road and many of the
other proposed roads where the
shoulders fall off into ditches,
ravines or swamps. Where are
two lanes of ATVs and two
lanes of cars supposed to go?
Why 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.?
Where are they going at those
early and late hours? Why
should I have to endure their
noise? Why should this recre-
ational minority be given per-
mission to destroy the peace
and quiet of the North Woods at
a time when tourists and resi-
dents are here because of the
peace and quiet this area offers.
Residents here have paid dear-
ly for their privacy and qui-
etude it is why we chose to
buy property in Conover and
not Eagle River.
If it is true that ATV riders
bring so much business and
prosperity to any area they ride
in, why arent the communities
that host ATVs hallmarks of suc-
cess? I dont buy that argument.
Several years ago, I had a
client who manufactured parts
for the recreational ATV indus-
try. To create a marketing plan
for them, I had to do significant
research on the sport ATV mar-
ket the riders and their rid-
ing habits and preferences.
Knowing what I do about
the sport, and the riders thirst
for adventure and challenge in
how they use their ATVs in the
environment, there is no argu-
ment you could present me
that would change my mind
about the damage this type of
recreational vehicle would do
to our environment in Conover.

Letter to the Editor:
I met Kim Simac, candidate
for state Senate 12th District,
three years ago. Since then, I
have learned she is a mother
and grandmother, entrepreneur,
business leader and one who is
not afraid to take on challenges.
One challenge she is facing
is to run against and replace
incumbent Jim Holperin (D).
He of the party that spent this
state into the $3.6 billion bud-
get deficit. Since then, Wiscon-
sin chose a new direction, but
Democrats refuse to believe
they lost last November. Hol-
perin and 13 others fled the
state, circumventing the demo-
cratic process. Those on the left
laud them as heroes but, I ask,
since when did running away
become heroic in America?
If those 14 had been gone a
couple of days, they would have
made their point. But hiding
out for three weeks exposed
that they were taking orders
from public employee union
leaders. Instead of working for
their constituents in Madison,
they were following powerful
out-of-state interests who said
jump, and Jim Holperin asked,
How high?
Kim Simac deserves to win
this election because she is not
afraid to fight for what is right
for the 12th Senate District
and for Wisconsin.

Dear Editor:
As a resident of Vilas Coun-
ty and a member of the Clover-
land Town Lakes Committee, I
am appalled at Oneida Coun-
tys proposal to eliminate the
protective measures now in
place for small lakes in their
county. Cloverland has had a
recent thorough study of 23 of
its lakes all small lakes.
As a participating member, I
have benefited hugely from
their excellent educational
workshops and hands-on pro-
grams. The more I learned and
observed, I came to realize that
the only way to assure the
maintenance and improve-
ment of the beautiful lakes in
our area is through an in-
formed citizenry and rigorous
enforcement of our existing
regulations.
I am grateful to live in Vilas
County where such standards
are appreciated and upheld.

Dear Editor:
As I watch the 12th District
state Senate race unfold, I am
reminded how much I love this
area. How lucky I was to grow
up here with the educational
opportunities I was afforded by
our quality public schools.
After graduating from Lake-
land Union High School, I went
on to receive my bachelors de-
gree in fine arts and my mas-
ters in education. Even before
entering my masters program,
I knew I wanted to return to
this area to teach and give back
to my community.
In doing some research on
Kim Simac, who is challenging
Sen. Holperin, my heart was
broken hearing the words she
spoke in Madison during the
protests this past February. I
listened and watched as she
called firemen, police, teachers
and public workers mutinous
cowards. Obviously this hurt
me personally, but also that she
was attacking neighbors, peo-
ple who, day in and day out,
work for the good of the public.
I fear that education in the
12th District will be left with
no representation if Ms. Simac
is elected to the state Senate.
Leah Wood
Woodruff
Concerned public education
will suffer with Kim Simac
consistent services to our
young and old in this state.
The argument that Sen.
Holperin was missing for
three weeks is shallow and a
great distortion. Jim Holperin
was diligently at work at-
tempting to bring a balanced
resolution that would continue
to support the young and old of
this state!

EAGLE RIVER, WI 54521
The Headwaters Council
for the Performing Arts
(HCPA) in Eagle River recent-
ly announced its season series
that will begin in September.
According to Steve Kolling,
president of the organization,
This years series, titled Mo-
ments Like These, is one of
the most exciting seasons we
have ever had. We have a
great variety of music, along
with a little Broadway the-
ater, that will appeal to a wide
audience. It is with the gener-
ous support of our season tick-
et holders, contributors and
area business partners that
we are able to bring the North
Woods this high-quality enter-
tainment at such an afford-
able price.
Opening night this year
will be Friday, Sept. 16, and
will feature a famous Bran-
son, Mo., ensemble called The
Duttons who will perform a
wide array of musical genres.
The Duttons will combine
vocal harmonies from blue-
grass to classical; instrumen-
tal virtuosity, including a vari-
ety from violin, guitar, key-
boards and drums, among oth-
ers; high-energy dancing and
comedy.
The group was one of the
top 10 finalists out of more
than 100,000 acts on NBCs
Americas Got Talent. The
Duttons have appeared on
PBS, the four major networks,
and at their theater in Bran-
son.
The season will continue
Saturday, Oct. 15, with an off-
Broadway show titled Em-
braceable You The Music of
George Gershwin.
If you like Gene Kelly,
Frank Sinatra and Lena
Horne, with a little extra mod-
ern flair and pizzazz, then
youll love Embraceable You,
said Kolling.
The centerpiece of the sea-
son will be marked by Lorie
Line Holiday Extravaganza
Christmas Bells Are Ringing
Friday, Dec. 9.
Each year, Lorie continues
to put out another album and
another one. Touring the na-
tion with her husband, Tim,
master of ceremonies, Lorie
continues to dazzle audiences
across the country, exclaimed
Kolling.

I am writing this column at the end of July, a few
days before the Aug. 2 deadline to raise the debt ceiling.
I dont know about you, but I have had to turn off the
news so many times in the past weeks that I finally just
avoided turning it on. Listening to newsmen and -
women talk all at the same time drives me crazy. I do
not know how they think we can comprehend whatever
it is they are trying to communicate. Our elected offi-
cials in Washington, all of them, have certainly failed
the test as far as I am concerned. Too many are not role
models for our youth and many are certainly a disap-
pointment.
The endless and repetitive arguments we see each
evening on many channels (for those who are still
watching TV news) have become meaningless prattle.
One person says something only to have another contra-
dict it. No one knows who to believe anymore and, if
others are like me, many are throwing their hands in
the air and feeling defeated if not disgusted. Who will
compromise and find a balanced and long-lasting solu-
tion to this problem? Right now, no one knows.
A friend used to say to me (tongue in cheek and with
a grin), Mary, remember these are intelligent men
doing their best. What I see with the debt ceiling crisis,
the refusal to raise taxes for millionaires, billionaires
and large corporations, the bluff offers, the unwilling

scarecrow in the Three Lakes Community Gar-
den. A total of 51 individuals rented plots in the
garden. --Photo By Joan Meeder
Theres a green movement
literally right here in the
North Woods. Reminiscent of
the motto Think globally and
act locally, local residents are
beginning to reap the rewards
of their labor at the Three
Lakes Community Garden.
While the cool weather cre-
ated a slow start for this years
gardening season, summer is
in full swing at the garden
now.
On a recent afternoon at the
garden, Jenna Crom said, Ive
had the same plot since the
garden began, while weeding
alongside her son, Darren
Pekoc, age 11.
My favorite part of the gar-
den is eating the raw peas, but
I dont like the weeding!
added Darren.
Nearby, Carol Baker, who
has participated in the garden
since it began three years ago,
said, Its fun. I meet a lot of
nice people and Im looking for-
ward to our annual garden
party. In winter I appreciate
eating the vegetables that
were frozen fresh, knowing
theyre healthy and pesticide
free.
The Three Lakes Communi-
ty Garden, located at the south
end of Don Burnside Park off
Highway A, expanded by 33%
this year. The garden has ex-
panded each year.
Currently, there are 51 indi-
vidually rented plots and 11
plots designated for the Three
Lakes Christian Food Pantry.
The pantry plots are tended
by high school student Taylor
Patterson, volunteers from
Honey Rock Camp, Upward
Bound volunteers and several
adult volunteers throughout
the season. Last year, more
than 600 pounds of fresh pro-
duce was contributed to the
food pantry.
Full-time Three Lakes resi-
dents Pat and Chuck Radtke
started the garden to increase
the availability of fresh pro-
duce, noting how challenging
the area is to grow in because
of the short growing season,
acidic soil from pine trees and
accompanying shade.
Pat Radtke remarked,
Many people up here dont
have a traditional yard or level
area to garden on their proper-
ty and deer are permanent res-
idents!
The garden is a true com-
munity project. Town officials,
town shop personnel and park
personnel have all been very
supportive and helpful from
the beginning. Many area busi-
nesses and organizations do-
nated manpower and money to
get the garden up and running,
particularly in its first year.
Three Lakes Elementary
School students have been ac-
tively involved the past three
years planting seeds in school,
transplanting the plants into
the garden pantry plots and
assisting with some of the har-
vest and delivery to the food
pantry when school begins.
A lot of physical work goes
into the garden, including ro-
totilling, weeding, fence and
hose repair, watering and
hauling wood chips for side-
walks. Several committed vol-
unteers handle these projects.
An open house has been
scheduled Sunday, Aug. 7, be-
tween 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Visi-
tors are welcome to see the
garden on their way to or from
the annual Three Lakes Fire-
mens picnic.
Master gardeners will be on
hand to answer gardening
questions and refreshments
will be provided.
Garden plot rental is $30
per year for one plot. The
money is used for fencing,
seeds and plants for the pantry
plots, compost, water lines and
sprayers.
Anyone interested in a plot
for next season should attend
the open house event or con-

A UW-La Crosse student
majoring in recreational
management has opened a
paddleboard business in
Three Lakes this summer.
Sarah Weyenberg
opened the new business,
called 5 Toes on the Nose.
She rents paddleboards for
use on local lakes.
The paddleboards are
delivered, free of charge,
right to your pier, she said.
Weyenberg explained
what paddleboarding was
all about.
It is like surfing. You
stand on the board and
power yourself by using a
paddle. The boards are like
surfboards with a fin. They
are more buoyant and, be-
cause the boards are wider
and longer than a surf-
board, they are more sta-
ble, she said.
Weyenberg has been
coming to the North Woods
to her grandmothers cot-
tage every summer for most
of her life. Her passion for
this area and excitement
for the sport are the driving
forces behind her business.
Paddleboarding is chal-
lenging, but easy to learn,
Weyenberg said. Everyone
thinks that they will fall off,
but they really dont.
Weyenberg said she has
instructed people from ages
5 to older than 60 and ev-
eryone has fun. She learned
the sport when she was vis-
iting her brother in Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.
Paddleboarding is excit-
ing because it is something
new. Its like you are in the
ocean, but youre in the lake
Up North surfing, she said.
People interested in try-
ing paddleboarding can find
5 Toes on the Nose on Face-
book or contact Weyenberg
at fivetoes.nose@gmail
.com or by calling (920) 284-
1817.
While there is no store-
front location, people can
often see Weyenberg
demonstrating paddle-
boarding at Eagle Waters
Resort, Chanticleer Inn or

The little island located in
East Bay of Little St. Germain
Lake has often been used by
visitors for picnics, campfires
and exploring, but Thursday,
July 28, the island was the
site of the wedding of Caiti
White and Chris Hockett.
Whites family has vaca-
tioned at Hillers Pine Haven
Resort on Little St. Germain
Lake every year since 1952
when Whites great-grandpar-
ents, Ellsworth and Geraldine
Greenwood, first stayed at the
resort.
Since that time, multiple
generations have come to
enjoy going out to the island,
sometimes having campfires.
Having fun on the island is
part of my familys tradition,
said White. When my fianc
and I wanted to have our wed-
ding in St. Germain, the is-
land was the first place I
thought of.
The bride is the daughter of
Pamela McMullin of Barring-
ton, Ill., and David White of
Lisle, Ill.
The groom is the son of
Charles and Betty Hockett of
Barrington, Ill.
The bride wore a strapless
dress with beaded embellish-
ment on the bodice and
sculpted chiffon layers over
the long skirt. She carried a
bouquet of white roses, calla
lilies and babys breath.
Maid of honor was Hillary
McMullin, and bridesmaids
were Emily and Josie Mc-
Mullin, and Maggie Limbeck.
Bridesmaids wore empire-
style burgundy dresses accen-
tuated with a line of beading
on the empire waist. Their
bouquets also included white
roses, calla lilies and babys
breath.
Best man was the grooms
father and other attendants
were Josh and Nathan Wer-
hane, cousins of the bride.
The bridal party and guests
traveled to the island by pon-
toon boats driven by David
McMullin, uncle of the bride,
and Mark Hiller.
The bride is a medical stu-
dent at Loyola University in
Chicago, Ill., and the groom,
employed as a chef by Ara-
mark, is currently working in
Hoffman Estates, Ill.
The couple will reside in
Barrington.

Water: Artists and Scientists
Explore Northern Lakes, will
be on display at Forest Fest
Saturday, Aug. 6, at Trees For
Tomorrow in Eagle River. The
event will be held from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m.
The exhibit will include
works by five visual artists and
one poet, each accompanied by
a concise explanation of the
science behind the art.
The exhibit combines years
of research collected from UW-
Trout Lake Station focusing on
different ways that vegetation,
geology and water can give
lakes distinct differences in
water quality and biology, de-
spite being located within a
few miles of each other.
Our northern lakes have
experienced a lot of change
over the last 100 years, said
Maggie Bishop, executive di-
rector of Trees For Tomorrow.
First there was extensive log-
ging followed by extensive tree
planting and an influx of cab-
ins being built, along with an
increase in population and
lake usage. Our lakes are still
experiencing change with the
new devices of water recre-
ation. Everything we do has an
impact on our natural re-
sources.

vendors are signed up to par-
ticipate in Forest Fest.

ness to compromise, and so
much more is a political disas-
ter. Locally the same problems
exist in our own state.
It is difficult right now to
have faith in our leaders or
the media. For all the bicker-
ing, caving and more, how do
we believe that our govern-
ment is of the people and for
the people? When it comes to
voting, the person with the
most money or the most cor-
porate support seems to win
too often.
On and on it goes as our
countrys infrastructure falls
apart, kids graduate unable to
read beyond a third-grade
level, a bottle of cough
medicine costs $70 (I paid
that much in July), unemploy-
ment is at an all-time high
and many other real problems
grow worse daily.
It does not seem to matter
who is in office. The prattle
goes on and on. Decisions
make it more difficult for the
elderly, students and poor to
vote. Other decisions and
much indecision create havoc,
do not help the struggling,
and make our country look
pretty lame to the rest of the
world.
It is not often when politics
gets under my skin, but the
past few weeks have gotten to
me. Someday I hope we live in
a country where the needs of
the people are first. Where
winning elections, taking
power and accumulating
wealth take a backseat to the
needs of Americans.
May we see our country re-
discover truth and, once
again, exist for the people.

ual under Sec. 73.03(2a), that the Assessor requests.

Four members of the Three
Lakes community recently vol-
unteered to pack meals for an
organization called Feed My
Starving Children, spending
an evening in Stevens Point
with 60 other volunteers.
Chuck and Pat Radtke,
along with Tom and Miriam
Bredesen, used an assembly
line approach to pack 30,600
meals. The goal for the three-
day event was to pack 200,000
meals.
Tom Bredesen said recent
news reports concerning
refugees in war-torn and
drought-stricken countries in-
spired the group to take action.
Its heart-wrenching to see
the gaunt faces of the starving
men, women and children
caught in this situation, said
Bredesen.
Feed My Starving Children
is a nonprofit Christian orga-
nization committed to feeding
hungry children. Its approach
involves hand-packing meals
specifically formulated for
malnourished children. The
meals are then shipped to
nearly 70 countries around the
world.
For more information on
this organization, headquar-
tered in Minnesota, visit the
website at fmsc.org or contact
one of the Three Lakes volun-
teers. The site includes infor-
mation about donations and
how to join a packing event.

Aug. 9, at 7 p.m. for the final
show of the Concerts in the

ety of program requests each
year. Woodland Strings has

vals, art shows, summer park
concerts, weddings, banquets,
Eagle River performing arts
lobby concerts and area nurs-
ing homes.
We just love our audiences,
but also are having so much
fun in rehearsal each week,
said director Kathy Klein. Its
a spirited social gathering that
energizes us with lots of cama-
raderie. We hope this is evident
in our musical presentations.
This seasons concert will
feature a violin solo by Lisa Jo
Borchers and a violin duet by
Kathy Klein and Lisa Jo
Borchers, accompanied by
Martha Milanowski on piano.
Program selections also in-
clude Pirates of the Car-
ribean, Lord of the Dance

NOTICE OF HEARING
FOR THE MICHIGAN CUSTOMERS OF
WISCONSIN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, d/b/a WE ENERGIES
CASE NO. U-16830
Wisconsin Electric Power Company (Wisconsin Electric), d/b/a We Energies requests Michigan Public Service Commission
approval to increase its rates for the sale of retail electricity to its Michigan customers (excluding special contract customers)
by approximately $17.5 million annually. Wisconsin Electrics application also proposes to implement during 2012, appropriate
customer credit, to provide Michigan customers approximately $2.7 million annually with net proceeds from a settlement
related to nuclear fuel storage costs.
A TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER USING 750 KILOWATT-HOURS PER MONTH WILL EXPERIENCE A MONTHLY INCREASE
BY APPROXIMATELY $8.47, IF THE REQUESTED RATE RELIEF IS GRANTED.
The information below describes how a person may participate in this case.
You may call or write Wisconsin Electric Power Company, d/b/a We Energies, 800 Industrial Park, Iron Mountain, MI 49801,
800-242-9137, for a free copy of its application. Any person may review the application at the offices of Wisconsin Electric.
The first public hearing in this matter will be held:

This hearing will be a prehearing conference to set future
hearing dates and decide other procedural matters.

The Michigan Public Service Commission (Commission) will hold a public hearing to consider the July 5, 2011 application of
Wisconsin Electric for approval to increase its Michigan rates for the sale of electricity to retail customers (excluding special
contract customers). Wisconsin Electric states that the most significant cost drivers for the requested increase are: (i) additional
capital investments to strengthen reliability and to comply with environmental and other requirements; (ii) recognition in base
rates of the investment in, and operating costs of, hydro and other facilities; (iii) changes in projected sales levels; and (iv)
recognition in rates of the lease payments and deferred prepayments related to the Elm Road Generating Station (ERGS) Unit No. 2,
which came on line in January 2011. The requested revenue requirements also reflect partially offsetting: (i) reductions in non-fuel
Operation and Maintenance expenses; (ii) impacts of Bonus depreciation; and (iii) other changes.

michigan.gov/mpscedockets. Requirements and instructions for filing can be found in the User Manual on the E-Dockets help page.

The 55th annual Phelps Vol-
unteer Fire Department pig
roast, scheduled Saturday, Aug.
6, from noon to 9 p.m. at the
Wavering Park pavilion in
Phelps, will offer a doublehead-
er of musical entertainment.
From noon to 5 p.m., Lovin
Country, a musical duo of
Rosie and Donie Malitz of
Pearson, will perform. Lovin
Country will be followed from
5 to 9 p.m. by Just Cuz, a
quartet of Rob Mesun, Suzann
Johnson, Adam Johnson and
Brent Beson.
Both groups are a team of
excellent musicians and I
know the folks who join us at
the pig roast will enjoy the
shows, said Phelps Fire Chief
Steve Waier.
Lovin Country will per-
form for the ninth time at the
picnic.
Rosie and I chose our
name because our first love
and strongest feature is coun-
try music, but we also offer a
variety of bluegrass, blues,
classic rock, polkas and
waltzes, said Donie Malitz.
Performing is our full-time
career. We record all of our
own background music using
drums, bass, piano, strings,
horns, keyboard and fiddle,
said Malitz. The end result is
that we generate a full band
sound from the two of us.
Rob Mesun of Phelps start-
ed Just Cuz in 1996.
We adopted our name, Just
Cuz, because Suzann and Adam
Johnson of Rhinelander are my
cousins, said Mesun. Brent
Beson of Bruce Crossing joined
us to make up the quartet.
Mesun and Adam Johnson
play guitars, Suzann plays
bass and Beson plays drums.
The quartet plays a variety of
music, including 1980s clas-
sics and up-to-date rock n
roll. Just Cuz will make its
second appearance at the fire-
mens pig roast.
Tickets for the pig roast are
$12, offering a menu of roast
pig, roast beef, baked beans,
potato salad, green salad and a
variety of homemade desserts.
The volunteer firefighters
also offer raffle tickets for $5
each or three tickets for $10.
Raffle prizes this year include
a $500 Jensen-Akins Hard-
ware & Appliance gift certifi-
cate, a 32-inch Sharp Aquos

READER OPINION
Dear Editor:
On Aug. 16, voters in the
12th Senate District have an
important decision to make.
Both candidates have been
making their case to the pub-
lic as have the groups that
support each of them.
The question that we are
faced with as voters is, Should
we elect a public servant with
a proven record of advocating
for northern Wisconsin or a
seemingly rigid ideologue who
lacks substance to represent
us in Madison?
Former U.S. President John
Adams once said, Facts are
stubborn things; and whatev-
er may be our wishes, our in-
clinations, or the dictates of
our passion, they cannot alter
the state of facts and evi-
dence. So, let us examine the
facts that exist in this election
for the Wisconsin state Senate
and the qualifications of each
candidate.
Tea Party candidate Ms.
Kim Simac is the owner of a
business in Eagle River, has
raised a family in that com-
munity and is the founder and
leader of the Northwoods Pa-
triots. As the leader of this
group, she has been rather ac-
tive in promoting a conserva-
tive agenda and has shown
that she is a good organizer.
An examination of Ms.
Simacs statements as leader
of the Northwoods Patriots re-
veals that she believes senior
citizens need to be weaned off
of Social Security and Medi-
care is a corrupt, losing ven-
ture. In addition, she is quot-
ed as saying, My state of Wis-
consin is awful. You may as
well call it the socialist state
of Wisconsin practically.
Clever rhetoric and catchy
phrases are not going to help
us solve the problems that
face Wisconsin and the people
who live in the 12th Senate
District. Understanding
where politics ends and gov-
erning begins will, and I do
not think that Ms. Simacs
record indicates that she
would understand how to do
this. In fact, when she was in-
terviewed by the Wausau
Daily Herald a few weeks ago
about what she would do if
elected to the Wisconsin state
Senate, she responded by say-
ing, I dont know exactly
what Id be working on. I dont
have this whole thing figured
out yet.
Jim Holperin and his wife
are also business owners in
Eagle River and have raised a
family in their community as
well. Mr. Holperin has served
the people of northern Wiscon-
sin as a public servant in mul-
tiple capacities. He worked as
a Commission on Aging direc-
tor; served in the Wisconsin
Assembly from 1982-94; was
the director of Trees For To-
morrow, a natural resources
education center located in
Eagle River; served the state
as secretary of Tourism; and
currently represents the peo-
ple of the 12th Senate District
as their state senator. As an
elected official, Mr. Holperins
record indicates that he sup-
ports a moderate approach to
governing, one which relies on
consensus building when
members of the other party
are willing and open to such
an approach.
According to Project Vote
Smart, a nonpartisan organi-
zation, Mr. Holperin voted to
support tax incentives for job
creation, voted in favor of con-
cealed carry legislation, which
earned him the endorsement
of the NRA, supported an in-
crease in the minimum wage,
and has consistently support-
ed legislation to protect public
education and health pro-
grams, the environment, nat-
ural resources and Wisconsin
consumers. Many of these
pieces of legislation were bi-
partisan efforts and were co-
sponsored by members of both
political parties.
Both candidates have
taken stands for what they be-
lieve is right and in the best
interest of the people they
represent. The facts in this
race for the state Senate indi-
cate that Jim Holperin is the
better person to represent the
people of the 12th Senate Dis-
trict.

Dear Editor:
I am thoroughly disgusted
at the current wave of nega-
tive political mailings, espe-
cially those mailed from
Madison by the Greater Wis-
consin Political Fund that
was given $1 million in seed
money from the unused war
chest of the ex-governor of
Planet Madison and funds
from state and out-of-state
unions telling us that they
know North Woods values.
They have attempted to de-
monize my friends and neigh-
bors who are the Northwoods
Patriots. The Patriots have
joined with the Tea Party
(Taxed Enough Already) na-
tionwide groups that are in-
dependents and persons from
both political parties, all eco-
nomic classes, races and reli-
gions, that were tired of being
ignored by the politicians
when we oppose high taxes,
wasteful spending, and our
government not adhering to
the U.S. Constitution or en-
forcing our laws. How radical
is that? Or, how right-wing
from what?
Instead of addressing real
Wisconsin issues, they have
tried to make federal pro-
grams, like Social Security
and Medicare, a Wisconsin
problem in order to gain con-
trol of the state Senate and
block the states recovery.
Instead of talking about is-
sues, we have a twice-recalled
politician who has held most-
ly government jobs facing an
everyday lady, mother and
businesswoman, by levying a
personal attack against some-
one who has had to fight to
keep her business and home
from high taxes during the
post-Sept. 11 and Obama
economies.
Lets talk about North
Woods issues, or is he going to
run from that, too?

Bipartisan leaders of country
reminded to work together
Dear Editor:
I am very concerned for the
future of this United States of
America (my country) and very
disappointed by the partisan-
ship, self-interests and lack of
leadership displayed by Repub-
licans, Democrats in our Sen-
ate, House and our executive
branch.
We need to cut $4 trillion out
of our federal budget over the
next 10 years and we need to
do it now, regardless of the per-
sonal ramifications to any
party or elected individual. The
time is now to demonstrate
selfless leadership for the fu-
ture of our children and grand-
children. We need to cut this $4
trillion by reducing federal
spending by $3 trillion and
raising revenues by $1 trillion
over the next 10 years.
The federal spending reduc-
tions need to come from discre-
tionary and the so-called
nondiscretionary entitlement
spending, Medicare, Medicaid
and military spending. We can
raise this $1 trillion in revenue
by eliminating the tax code
loopholes, especially for corpo-
rations and wealthier individu-
als. I do not believe it is even
necessary to actually raise the
tax rates.
Please be a leader for the fu-
ture of our country and work
together in a bipartisan man-
ner to get this done now! This
week!
