Oneida County residents will be able to speak out next Tuesday on a proposal that would strip from the county zoning ordinance special protections for lakes of 50 acres and less. The plan would reduce minimum riparian frontage widths from 200 feet to 100 feet and minimum lot sizes from 50,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet for single family dwellings. The extra protection for smaller lakes was passed in 2000 as a part of a waterway

classification system designed to restrict building volume on smaller lakes, which were deemed more sensitive to overdevelopment. A public hearing on the matter is scheduled Tuesday, Aug. 2, at 2 p.m. in Committee Room No. 2 at the Oneida County Courthouse in Rhinelander. When we wrote Section 9.93 in 2000, we had a waterway classification system based on a bunch of things, which, in the end, all boiled down to the size of the lake, said Planning and Zoning Department Director Karl Jennrich. Class I Waterway refers to lakes and flowages of 50 acres or less, while Class II Waterway refers to lakes and flowages greater than 50 acres, he said.

Under the proposed changes, the minimum lot size on smaller lakes would be reduced to Class II Waterways size, allowing more lots to be created. The two classifications would be grouped together under the title Lots Adjacent to Navigable Waters. Class I waterways were given more restrictions because of the potential impacts of development, said Jennrich. Under 9.93, there was the rationale saying that a variety of studies had indicated that the impacts of development can diminish water quality, natural fish reproduction, wildlife habitat, aquatic life habitat and natural beauty, said Jennrich. To further quote from Section 9.93 rationale, these are the very things that people seek out when they choose to

live on Oneida County lakes, rivers and streams, he said. However, commitee members have heard complaints from lake property owners with large lot sizes, who are unable to sell part of their land due to the current minimum lot size restrictions. People who have bigger lots are saying the rules are taking away from the value of their property because they cant create another lot, said Jennrich. Planning & Zoning Committee Vice Chairman Gary Baier echoed this sentiment, saying some homeowners are stuck with unnecessarily high property tax payments. If someone did have 200 feet of frontage, with property taxes going so high, if they To ZONING, Pg. 2A

A 54-year-old Eagle River woman who embezzled more than $60,000 from a church was placed on probation for three years and will spend three months in the county jail, Vilas County Circuit Court Judge Neal A. Nielsen III decided Monday. Lori L. Hunter pleaded no contest to a felony charge of theft in a business setting and waived her right to a jury trial. A second felony theft charge and a misdemeanor theft charge were dismissed but read in for sentencing. Hunter, an associate in ministry at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Eagle River, admitted to taking the money in 2009 and 2010 to help her husbands business, Hunter Engineering & Design, during the poor economic times.

As the Walter E. Olson Memorial Library in Eagle River struggles to expand its collections, services, programming and other activities, due to a lack of space, library leaders feel the time has come to replace the current 30-year-old facility. Following a study to determine future space needs at the 6,500-square-foot library, the architectural firm, Durrant from Dubuque, Iowa, was hired to turn the needs study into a facilities plan. Durrant evaluated many alternatives including renovation, but the library board settled on a proposal to build a new facility on the existing site at 203 N. Main To LIBRARY, Pg. 2A

wanted to sell a lot they could do that, said Baier. As of now, they cant and theyre stuck paying that high tax. Baier added that more lots on area lakes means more tax money for the local government. Its better for everybody, he said. Towns and counties are still financially solid compared to the state and federal debt loads. Were able to do that by maintaining a good tax base. If somebody can sell a lot, and somebody else can build a home on it, that creates another tax, which helps our community. There is also some concern about expanding homes built before Section 9.93 went into effect, said Baier.

FROM PAGE 1A

What about those people with a 100-foot lot on a 50acre lake who want to add on to their home? he asked. Well, theyre going to have to buy another 50 feet because they have a nonconforming home. But when they built the home at the time, it was legal. Baier said the public hearing would ultimately give the committee an idea of how much public support is behind the potential rule changes. There are going to be some people against it, he said. And some of them dont live on a lake or dont live in the area, but thats why we have a public hearing. Everybody has a right to express their opinion.

Library: staff hopes to increase volumes, programs with more space

FROM PAGE 1A
St. in the city. The firm recommended a new building with 13,800 square feet on the main floor and a lower level of 6,400 square feet at a cost of $3.26 million to complete and furnish the facility. The increase is important because, unless we are able to move forward with this project, the library will drift further behind in its offerings, said Nancy Schaffer, library foundation president. Eventually, it will lose its place as an important center among our communities. The area will be less dynamic, less appealing and less apt to attract and retain new businesses and residents. An Information Event was held at the library July 23 to introduce the project to the librarys key groups, including the staff, board, foundation, Friends of the Library and volunteers. Schaffer said the existing space at the facility limits the library from expanding its collection, providing the programming the community needs and wants, holding gatherings of any size and offering the level of computer support and related educational opportunities the community needs and expects. The new plan features an open design on the main floor to allow flexibility in addressing space needs for any department to function, said Schaffer. The lower level will house the facilitys mechanicals, storage and provide space for future growth. Schaffer said no taxpayer dollars will be used to construct the new facility, which also will feature 28 off-street parking spaces to replace the space of the existing library. The new facility also will add a new young-adult area and a computer learning center; expand space for the childrens area, adult area, book stacks, support area and nonbook area; strengthen and extend the range of the Wi-Fi signal; and incorporate green design and building materials. A nice feature of the new facility will be a meeting room with seating for 150, said Schaffer. The room can be divided with a curtain and will be accessible during nonlibrary hours, as will the rest rooms serving the facility. Diana Anderson, library director, said the new facility complies with the library boards directive to raise the classification of its book collection based upon Wisconsin Library Association standards from basic to enhanced. The step between the two categories extends the collection from 44,000 volumes to 62,700 volumes. The decision to increase the number of volumes in the book collection is in response to the higher expectations of the patron base and newer residents, said Anderson. Tight quarters Anderson said one of the problems with the current facility is the overall configuration. Todays libraries require an ample view of the entire floor from the circulation desk, she said. The existing configuration is blocked by stacks of books, especially viewing the childrens area. Anderson said other issues identified in the needs study included: Patrons experience long waits for computers and there is a lack of terminals. Childrens programming and its capacity to serve a larger volume of participants is limited by space and appropriate amenities. The meeting room has a legal limit of only 35 people, is used partially as a storage space for books and it lacks conference and technological amenities that are essential for meetings and public programming. The number of books housed needs to be increased to raise the librarys standing in the Wisconsin Library Association criteria for library collections. No suitable space within the library is appropriate for lectures or a musical performance by even a small group. Public rest rooms are small, outdated and cannot support sizable numbers of people attending a function. Limited space exists to display art, especially works by local artists. Space for staff is inadequate and is poorly configured, with no private space for the director to confer with staff and volunteers, to have business telephone conservations, or to work quietly. Space for processing interlibrary loans and to conduct staff meetings is limited. Space to store records, materials, community archival information and other materials is sparse. Library activity Anderson said the study included statistics on library usage from 2005 to 2010. Its a place that has something for everyone, for our working families, our retirees, our summer residents and our year-round visitors, she said. Today, libraries are going through a period of introspection, reacting to the way we live and adapting to technological change. These transformational forces cause some people to question the relevance of libraries, however, statistics indicate utilization continues to rise. For example, interlibrary loan activities saw a big jump at Olson Library, with outgoing increasing from 5,062 to 9,694 and incoming jumping from 3,942 to 10,505 from 2005 to 2010. Statistics also showed that registered resident borrowers increased from 5,136 to 6,236. Nonresident registered borrowers increased from 790 to 1,660 during the five-year period. Circulation numbers also were on the rise the last five years. Circulation for adults increased from 41,183 to 56,307. With the childrens circulation at about 13,000, the annual circulation average over the five years was 60,623. When it comes to programming, activities for adults increased from 19 programs and 386 attendees to 127 programs with 2,180 attendees in the five years. Programs for children, during the same period, increased from 97 programs with 2,001 attendees to 109 programs with 2,140 attendees. Renovation vs. new The decision to construct a new facility versus renovation was an outcome of the analysis by the architect, according to Schaffer. Durrant provided a renovation and expansion project that would have one floor with useable space of 11,600 square feet for a total cost of $2.42 million. That project was compared to a new facility on the same site of 13,800 square feet on the main floor and 6,400 square feet on the lower level for a 2007 cost estimate of $2.7 million. At an additional 3.5% increase per year for construction, the new facility cost is $3.26 million. Meanwhile, the new facility would provide 74% more specifically designed space, room to grow and energy efficiency. An energy study projecting energy costs for a new facility would increase $9,174, or 4.1%, according to Schaffer.

Safety on Vilas County roadways is greatest concern for Lt. Collins

Second installment of property taxes is due by July 31

The vehicle southbound on Highway 51 registered 68 mph on the radar unit and seconds later showed it actually speeding up to 70 mph as it approached the squad car of Lt. Mark Collins of the Vilas County Sheriffs Department, who locked in the speed and did a quick turnaround to give pursuit. The eight-cylinder Dodge Hemi engine burst with power as the squad accelerated up to 90 mph, pressing the back of this freelance writer into the seat and making sure the shoulder strap was tight. Several minutes later, with lights and siren on, the speeding car came into view and began to slow down, eventually pulling onto the shoulder of the highway. Collins, a 14-year veteran of the department, prepared to approach the female driver, activating the in-squad video camera to record the interaction and conversation he will have with the driver. This scene is repeated often by the road deputies on the sheriffs department. Vilas County Sheriff Frank Tomlanovich invited media people to ride along to experience what his road officers go through in a days work. On this day, it was Collins turn to accept a rider. Beginning his workday, Collins goes through his duties as shift commander, starting with looking at reports from the night shift. He asks dispatchers in the radio room about any number of events that he should be aware of. We leave the Justice Center in Eagle River and go to the Arbor Vitae Highway Department shop where there is a satellite office for west-side deputies. Collins talks with Deputy Ty Peterson and collects any paperwork that has to go back to the main office. Peterson is the departments K-9 officer and has the trained drug dog with him. We head north on Highway 51 toward Manitowish Waters with most southbound traffic flowing

smoothly and averaging about 60 mph until the speeding driver came toward us. This will be the womans first traffic citation, since a record check showed there were no prior entries. She indicated she wasnt paying attention, Collins related as he wrote out a speeding citation for 70 mph. She was actually speeding up when going away from us and when I told her that, there was no argument; she knew she was going faster than 70. When youre not paying attention, bad things can happen and, at that speed, they can happen quickly. Collins said his officers appreciate it when speeders take ownership for their actions behind the wheel and dont try to blame someone or something else. The main goal is to encourage safety and have drivers be alert and obey the rules of the road, he said. The internal radar unit can be checked quickly to see if it is registering speed accurately. Collins has two tuning forks which he will tap and place in the radar beam. One fork should show a speed of 35 and the other a speed of 50; both registered

accurately. Besides the computer equipment, radio and radar equipment inside the squad car, Collins carries on his person a variety of items. These include a .40-caliber Glock semi-automatic pistol holding 15 rounds, two extra 15-round clips, pepper spray, a Taser, portable radio, flashlight, handcuffs, a multi-tool, cell phone, pager, identification badge, vest and notepads. He estimates the equipment weighs about 25 pounds. While he has not had to use the sidearm in his 14 years of service, he has used the Taser and pepper spray, as well as the cell phone and pager. While a member of the department SWAT team, there have been a number of instances the team was activated for high-risk search warrants and possible suicides when a firearm was present. While sitting off Highway 51 watching northbound traffic, a blue car with children passes a number of vehicles but doesnt slow down. The radar unit is locked in at 71 mph and pursuit is initiated. A records check indicated the male driver has a number of previous citations and

the car has a cracked front windshield. They were going to a dentist appointment in Ironwood, Mich., and the driver claimed he was slowing down after he completed his passing. That could be reasonable and Collins gives the driver a written warning for speed and a five-day time period to have the windshield replaced. Cracked windshields can suddenly give way, so Collins addresses the safety aspect of the cars operation. In addition to supervising the deputies on his shift, Collins responds to calls for service, especially in the summer months. The county cooperates with other local and state law enforcement agencies. The Vilas County Sheriffs Department has its own accident investigation team, but will call in other state experts when needed. Living in the community for 14 years has people recognizing Collins as a law enforcement officer and that can work both for and against him, he said. Its very rare we have a conflict of interest in knowing a person in an accident, he said. Sometimes seeing a familiar face behind the uniform in a crisis situation will calm people down a bit.

The second installment of the 2010 property tax bills is due by July 31, according to county treasurers in Vilas and Oneida counties. Due to limited parking and long waiting lines, mailing tax payments is recommended for both counties, said Vilas County Treasurer Jerri Lynn Radtke. Taxpayers can pay their bills on Monday, Aug. 1, because July 31 falls on a Sunday, said Radtke. Vilas County payments can be mailed to: Vilas County Treasurer, 330 Court St. Eagle River, WI 54521.

An ear adjustment changes the shape of the ear canal to prevent bacteria from getting to the inner ear and causing infection. Ear adjustments are also helpful in releasing clogged water in ears and also aids in sinus infections and allergies! So dive in and have fun and know that Draeger Chiropractic is always here to help prevent or treat many of your summertime ailments to help you get the best out of your summertime fun.

News-Review: paper recognized by peers

FROM PAGE 1A
Record in Yorkville, Ill. Winners reflect the high quality of publications represented by the association. He said there were nearly 2,000 entries in this years Better Newspaper Contest. Winners will be recognized at the NNAs 125th annual Convention & Trade Show in Albuquerque, N.M., Sept. 2225. First-place entries will be on display during the convention. Kurt Krueger, publisher of the News-Review and The Three Lakes News, called the announcement by the NNA a great honor for the newspaper and staff. It is fantastic to be recognized by our peers from around the country for outstanding community service, said Krueger. But we also have topnotch news and event coverage, editorial opinion and photography year after year. Krueger said none of it would be possible without the support of the business community and newspaper subscribers. Those business owners who advertise their products and services with us should be recognized as well, for they are supporting a community newspaper that gives a lot back, he said. Many publications will take your advertising dollars, but they probably dont cover local government, school news, sports, outdoors, the arts or run photos of your kids and grandkids. Most dont offer awardwinning journalism, feature stories and personal columns. Krueger said the generosity of the entire North Woods community, including many seasonal residents, made it possible for the Warm The Children program to clothe 550 children with winter clothing last year. Once again, the program reached its fundraising goal of $50,000. Editor Gary Ridderbusch said the News-Review couldnt win the Community Service Award if it werent for the people and organizations of Vilas and Oneida counties. The North Woods is a great place to live, work and volunteer and we have so many people that get involved in the community, said Ridderbusch. We enjoy being part of that community. Our job is to keep the people informed. Ridderbusch said the NewsReview staff takes great pride in putting together a community newspaper each and every week. The production department that shapes the final quality of the layout includes Production Manager Jean Drew of Sayner, Assistant Production Manager Betsy Bleicher of Land O Lakes, Photo Technician Sharina Adams of Phelps and typesetter Jean Deditz of Eagle River. The editorial staff also includes Assistant Editor Anthony Drew and Lifestyle Editor Marianne Ashton. Several freelance writers and community correspondents also contributed to the final package, noted Ridderbusch.

Vilas County Court report

Man, 20, enters no-contest plea for second-degree sexual assault

A 20-year-old Lac du Flambeau man entered a plea of no contest to an amended charge of second-degree sexual assault and was found guilty in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. Raymond R. Zortman was originally charged with firstdegree sexual assault of a child under age 12 during March and April of 2010 in Lac du Flambeau. In addition, a child enticement charge was dismissed, as were charges of felony bail jumping and obstructing an officer. Vilas County Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III said the dismissed charges will be read in at sentencing. A presentence investigation was ordered and sentencing for Zortman was set for Aug. 29 at 2:30 p.m. In other felony cases, Clay A. Kunath, 50, of Mercer, charged with attempting to flee or elude a traffic officer, hit-and-run injury, second-offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and operating a motor vehicle after revocation, had a preliminary hearing set for July 27 at 8:30 a.m. after attorney Richard Sahawl was appointed as public defender in the case. According to the complaint, Kunath collided with another vehicle at the intersection of Highway D and Peace Pipe Road in Lac du Flambeau about 1:53 a.m. July 13. A police officer near the scene heard the collision and pursued the Kunath vehicle northbound on Highway 47. Kunath was eventually arrested in the parking lot at Lake of the Torches Casino. A man in the other vehicle complained of back pain following the accident and was taken to Howard Young Medical Center in Woodruff. The Kunath vehicle allegedly hit the other vehicle broadside in the intersection. Court records show that Kunath was on probation and parole at the time of the accident after being convicted of strong-armed robbery and his drivers license had been revoked due to a previous operating while intoxicated. Lara K. Williams, 33, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with manufacture and delivery of marijuana, had a preliminary hearing set for July 27 at 9:30 a.m. She was arrested Nov. 24, 2010, in Lac du Flambeau. In a separate case, Williams also is charged with felony bail jumping, theft of movable property and possession of an illegally obtained prescription stemming from an incident May 9-10 of this year. Because Vilas County Assistant District Attorney David Breedlove has a conflict of interest, Judge Nielsen approved special prosecutor Martin Lipske to represent the state in Williams cases. Steven R. Gukich, 18, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with burglary of a building or dwelling, theft of movable property and misdemeanor theft, had his initial appearance adjourned to Aug. 8 at 10:30 a.m. Gukich is allegedly involved in a burglary in Lac du Flambeau between May 23 and 25. James B. Armstrong, 23, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with felony bail jumping and misdemeanor battery, had a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 10 at 8:45 a.m. He is free on a $5,000 signature bond following the June 30 incident in Lac du Flambeau. David R. Chapman Sr., 38, of Lac du Flambeau, pleaded no contest and was found guilty of sixth-offense operating while intoxicated. Nielsen ordered a presentence investigation and sentencing was set for Sept. 8 at 1:30 p.m. Chapman was arrested in March in Lac du Flambeau and was taken to the Vilas County Jail where he recorded a breath sample of .09%, according to the complaint. James A. Johnson III, 24, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with burglary of a building or dwelling as a repeater, had an adjourned jury trial set for Oct. 27 at 8:30 a.m. The jury trial was originally set for July 20. Johnson allegedly entered a home through a screen window at 1686 Thunderbird Lane in Lac du Flambeau. According to the complaint, the property owners said several items were missing, including a tackle box, cell phone, sweater, flashlight, sunglasses and a purse, though there was no money or checks in the purse.

Hunter: defendant apologizes to court

FROM PAGE 1A
placed Hunter on probation. Other conditions of her probation include 90 days in the county jail with work release privileges or to care for her mother, 500 hours of community service, resortative justice if the church agrees to participate, an apology to the victims and court costs. Hunter also must pay restitution of $1,240 to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and $33 to Vacationland Ministries. She also must submit a DNA sample due to being convicted of a felony. Assistant District Attorney David Breedlove told the court that Hunter had repaid the church the other missing funds. He asked Nielsen to place Hunter on probation for three years and give her 200 hours of community service, but made no recommendation on the jail time. Hunters attorney, Jeffrey Jackomino, asked for five years of probation, six months of electronic monitoring and 1,000 hours of community service with no jail time, but Nielsen said Hunters theft of $60,000 required some jail time. Following Jackominos recommendation, Hunter made an apology to the court also heard by the nearly 30 people in attendance at the plea and sentencing hearing. I stand before you today and this community to offer an apology and to say that I am truly sorry for what I have done, said Hunter. I am sorry for betraying my God, the betrayment on my husband, my family, my church and community. It isnt about the money, its about the betrayals. I beg foregiveness. I take reponsibility for the hurt and divisions that have been created by myself and know that relationships will never be as they were. Nielsen said his toughest decision was determining jail time for Hunter, who he said was not a safety concern to society. But he said Hunter did take more than $50,000 over a two-year period. The hardest time for the court is looking at the concept of jail time in this probation, said the judge. Jail really should serve a couple of purposes. It ought to give the defendent a sense of what their future will look like in the event of an unsuccessful completion of probation. And there really needs to be a deterent effect for others to have to know that they will do at least some jail time in the event of committing an offense. Concerning the 500 hours of community service, Nielsen said the court needs to give Hunter a chance to re-establish herself in the community. Thats a lot; I think Ms. Hunter is likely to do more and for every hour more that she does, I think that is a statement to the court and to her community and to her victims here that she truly is a person who wants to restore her position in the community, said Nielsen. The judge also expected Hunter to make an apology to the victims. I think she should and intends to offer a more formal apology to the victims and I use that as plural because I am referring to the members of the church and I assume she will do that, said Nielsen. The case According to court records, Hunter embezzled $32,368 in 2010 and $27,896 in 2009 from the church. Hunter served multiple duties at the church during those two years including organist, choir director and church secretary. The church paid a certified public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the church books prior to hiring a new pastor in 2010. The audits for 2009 and 2010 found a total of $60,264 in missing funds. Hunter was terminated at the church Nov. 12, 2010. Records show checks were issued to cover legitimate church expenses and entered into the church computer, but the checks were made out to Hunter or her husbands business, and then deposited in her account. She said her husband did not know about the transfer of funds to their accounts. Hunter also was treasurer of Vacationland Ministries during the time period and allegedly diverted $1,000 from the organizations checking account to her account Jan. 9, 2010. The initial misdemeanor theft charge stemmed from that diversion of funds.

Three Lakes hopes to strengthen town with economic development campaign

___________

BY VERONICA OLSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

The Three Lakes Town Board heard a report last week from Chairman Don Sidlowski regarding the progress the town is making in their economic development campaign. The chairman gave a slideshow enumerating what Three Lakes has already accomplished with regard to economic development, as well as what the town hopes to accomplish in the coming years. Two billboard signs have been erected, one facing south on Highway 45 in New London and one facing north on Highway 45 in Birnamwood. These billboards advertise the town of Three Lakes as a desirable location. The sign for southbound travelers reminds drivers of the allure of Three Lakes as opposed to going back home.

There also is a promotional video which will be on the towns website. In addition, the Three Lakes Economic Development Committee has developed radio advertisements, publicizing the benefits Three Lakes has to offer for those who live there. These radio advertisements will be broadcast in targeted areas where potential year-round residents of Three Lakes now live. Sidlowski said the purpose of these promotional endeavors is to make people aware of what Three Lakes has to offer in terms of homes, schools and business opportunities. Supervisor Jeff Bruss suggested putting the promotional video on YouTube and creating a Facebook page to get more out of the promotional efforts. Sidlowski also said that Three Lakes is the leader in Oneida County for broadband coverage. He said 80% of Three Lakes residents have

access to the Internet with up to six Internet providers. Its the first major step in this economic development campaign to do exactly what we said we were going to do in the 20-year plan, said Sidlowski, and now weve just got to follow through with it. The chairman said the next step in the campaign will be to encourage new residents in Three Lakes to bring their businesses and co-workers with them to the town. The board also accepted the map of the downtown business district as presented by the Plan Commission, with two added properties. If the business district is registered with the North Central Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, this would allow businesses to receive grants and other benefits. Other action In other business, the town board:

authorized the clerk and chairman to send a letter to the citizens who petitioned for the town to vacate 50 feet of a portion of an easement road, with the petitioners agreeing to bear their share of the costs to make sure the road does not contain any utilities or other easements; approved an administrative permit application, subject to conditions proposed by the Zoning Advisory Committee; agreed to the proposed changes in the Oneida County Zoning Ordinance, 9.78 Regulation of Signs, and to direct the chairman to attend the next Planning and Zoning Committee meeting to support the changes to the ordinance; and accepted a land-use agreement between the town and a private citizen to place a Three Lakes Gateway sign on Highway 45 on the landowners property.

Don Sidlowski. Budget report The town board also heard an update from the Budget and Finance Committee. Dave Hintz, a member of the panel and its former chairman, said that the committee takes a lead role in preparing and reviewing budgets for the town. He presented a slideshow of the committees accomplishments and future goals. Some of the things the committee has done is to work on the town investment policy and capital budget. The committee also works to help other committees develop consistent, understandable financial reports and calendars. This year, the committee is going to analyze the impact of state law changes and the new budget. Hintz said the committee will come to the board with specific recommendations. Firehouse, road update The town board tabled discussion on the proposed construction schedule for Firehouse No. 2, because Fire Chief Herb Stuckart was not present. The design of the second firehouse has to come before the Plan Commission before it can be approved. Supervisor Bill Martineau and Sidlowski are going to meet with the fire chief to see about the plans he has in mind for the building. The plan would be to complete the new firehouse this year if possible. The project is

All the utility work is finished and just the roadwork remains on the East School Street road construction project, the Three Lakes Town Board learned at its meeting last week. The project is still on schedule and is expected to be completed the second week of August, according to Jim Bollmann of MSA Professional Services. Bollmann said it will take about eight to 10 days to complete the curb, gutter and sidewalk, then about one week to do the paving. As far as the problems that the rain caused last month, Bollmann said breaker run was used on Huron Street, and fabric was used on Eerie Street, East School Street and School Drive. In total, the extra cost incurred from this setback was about $43,100. The estimated extra cost was about $50,000. The issue of redirecting the schools storm water drainpipe into the towns storm sewer system was approved and the pipes were redirected. Bollmann said the project went well. The school paid for this expense, and the town will allow water from the schools storm water drain to flow into the towns storm sewer system. Im glad to see the project is ahead of schedule, even with all the unanticipated stuff, said Town Chairman

going to be bid through the town. An update was heard regarding the conflict with the Branham Road stub. A letter has been received from the Department of Transportation not supporting the research one of the citizens involved in the dispute has done. The town board is trying to avoid litigation in this process. We dont have anything to stand on to say this is definitely it. Its out of our hands in my mind, said Martineau. Other reports The chairman of the Three Lakes Park Commission was not present to discuss the quarterly report. Sidlowski read the report and the board agreed that, in the future, it would be helpful if the report was more detailed. The town shop foreman was not present to give a report on the renovations to the town salt/sand shed. However, Supervisor Ed Starke saw the shed and said that the wall

has been fixed and new rafters have been put up. The town treasurer was also not present at the meeting, so the towns investment policy could not be discussed in much detail. Town Clerk Sue Harris noted that the quarterly report was off a little and it would be helpful to have the treasurer present to sort through the numbers. This will be put on a future agenda. Sidlowski gave a report on the budget repair bill, including the prevailing wage-rate law. Towns with populations under 2,500 that are bidding out projects which total less than $234,000 will not be subject to the prevailing wage law. This is good news for Three Lakes, according to Sidlowski, especially in regard to the Firehouse No. 2 project, because the project would likely cost double under the previous law. Prevailing wage rate is hugely significant for us in Three Lakes, said Supervisor Steve Garbowicz.

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

___________

The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales will parade through downtown Three Lakes, Thursday, July 28, in what promises to be a busy weekend for the town, according to Three Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Skip Brunswick. This is certainly going to be one action-filled weekend, said Brunswick. We are excited and proud to announce that the Clydesdales On Parade will come to town. The full eight-horse hitching process will begin at 5 p.m. at Cy Williams Park. The parade will follow, starting on

Superior Street and heading west on Anderson. The parade will then travel south on Highway 45, east on Superior Street to Lake Drive east entrance, south on Lake Drive to Park Street and back to Cy Williams Park. Accompanying the Clydesdales, two drivers and a dalmatian will perform old-fashioned beer deliveries to various Three Lakes businesses. Wisconsin Secretary of Tourism Stephanie Klett will be honorary parade marshal. Joining the parade will be vintage cars from the 1930s and 40s era and floats from the Three Lakes area. Following the parade, there will be a social gathering at Cy Williams Park with food, beverages, beer, live musical

Vilas flood risk information open house planned July 28

Representatives from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Securitys Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), will host a flood risk information open house Thursday, July 28. The open house is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at the Lincoln Town Hall, located at 1205 Sundstein Road in Eagle River. The event will provide the public with an opportunity to review preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) that include base flood information and areas subject to significant flood hazards within the county. Also included in the FIRMs is information utilized by public officials when permitting development in the floodplain. There will not be a presentation at the open house; rather, this is an opportunity to view the preliminary maps in preparation for the upcoming comments and appeals period. The open house will be staffed with representatives from various local and state agencies. These representatives will provide people the most current information about flood risk, flood insurance, floodplain development regulations and the process for floodplain mapping within Vilas County communities. New preliminary floodplain maps have been prepared and will be on display. In approximately one year, these maps will be used by floodplain permit officials, builders and developers, lenders, real estate agents, insurance agents and the general public to determine flood risk and develop mitigation measures for responsible risk-management decision making. Property owners, real estate agents, lenders and insurance agents are welcome to attend and learn more about flood risk and hazard mitigation within their community. For more information, contact Wisconsin DNR floodplain planners Colleen Hermans at (608) 2648988 or Gary Heinrichs at (608) 266-3093.

About the Clydesdales The Clydesdales appearance in northern Wisconsin is one of hundreds made annually by the traveling hitches. Canadians of Scottish descent brought the first Clydesdales to America in the mid-1800s. Today, the giant draft horses are used primarily for breeding and show. Horses chosen for the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch must be at least 3 years of age, stand approximately 6 feet at the shoulder, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, be bay in color, have four white legs with a blaze of white on the face, and black mane and tail. A gentle temperament is also important, as hitch horses meet millions of people each year, according to Dean Distributing marketing director Jim Gibbons. A single Clydesdale hitch horse will consume as much as 20 to 25 quarts of feed, 40 to 50 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water per day, said Dean Distributing marketing director Jim Gibbons. Each hitch travels with a Dalmatian. In the early days of brewing, Dalmatians were bred and trained to protect the horses and guard the wagon when the driver went inside to make deliveries.

DMV to expand service in state; Eagle River center may close

The Wisconsin Department of Transportations Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is working to expand customer service throughout Wisconsin as required by the 2011-13 biennial budget. As a result of this expansion of permanent service locations, the Eagle River and Minocqua DMV service centers may no longer provide service, according to the DMVs tentative plans. However, plans include the possible expansion to 20 hours a week at the Arbor Vitae location. The budget included a provision that at least 20 hours per week of drivers license, skills testing and identification card services be available in a costeffective manner in every Wisconsin county. To provide the expanded customer service by early 2012, the department needs to lease, equip and furnish permanent office locations to accommodate the expanded hours. Currently, at least 20 hours per week of service is available in 30 counties. In many locations, however, the service is provided by travel teams that serve multiple sites, some as infrequently as once per month or once per quarter. The department is seeking to consolidate services in many counties at one location with permanent staff. In determining where to locate the new permanent centers, the department is taking into consideration the current service locations, county seats, the populations of communities in counties and the geographic location of communities. Department officials met earlier this week with legislative offices that represent the communities that may be most affected by the proposed changes. The input received will be taken into consideration as the department determines the most cost-effective way to implement the new statewide services. Final decisions will be made in the next few weeks so that lease activities can get under way. Drivers license and identification products are valid for eight years, minimizing the need to travel to a customer service location. Once the changes are made, weekly DMV drivers license and identification card services will increase by more than 625 hours, which equates to more than 32,000 hours of increased DMV services annually.

Late blight confirmed in Wisconsin tomatoes

Late blight, the same oomycete responsible for the Irish Potato Famine between 1845 and 1852, has been confirmed on tomato plants in Wisconsin as of July 6, according to UW-Extension officials. All tomato and potato plants should be treated with effective fungicides every seven to 14 days for the remainder of the season, according to Oneida County UW-Extension Horticulture Assistant Marissa Hatlen. Fungicides containing the active ingredients chlorothalonil and/or copper or copper sulfate can be used, but these should not be used once symptoms of late blight appear. Hatlen cautioned that gardeners should be sure to use fungicides labeled for edibles. If late blight is spotted in a garden, infected plant material should be removed and destroyed quickly, said Hatlen. Do not compost this plant material, she said. Throw it away in regular garbage. This pathogen survives in soil over the winter. If late blight has previously been a problem, plants that come up on their own should also be removed. To report any late blight symptoms, contact the local UW-Extension office. Some common signs of late blight are oily, dark lesions on leaves and wavy, leathery, brown-to-black lesions on fruit. For more information about late blight, people can access the UW-Extension fact sheet at plantpath.wisc.edu and through UW-Extension.

Expanding bike and pedestrian trails to connect communities could include using limited portions of the county highway system, the Vilas County Highway Committee was informed last week. Meanwhile, North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission representative Darryl Landeau told committee members a comprehensive trail plan is needed to meet the Wisconsin Department of Transportation requirements to obtain transportation enhancement grants. There is a big gap in the middle of the county that the route would lean heavily on county highway lands, Landeau said. The county Forestry Committee wanted a joint resolution with the Highway Committee and that is still being worked on. Ralph Sitzberger, county supervisor from Land O Lakes, said safety improvements for bicyclists using the county highway system could be done when road projects are proposed. Everything up here is different due to the lakes and highways we have, Sitzberger said. Some of our county highways are very dangerous and ATV use has been proposed on similar segments. What I would like to see, if we had a proposed road job, that there would be funding for paved shoulders and we wrote that into the highway plan. Sitzberger, referring to Highway S from Highway B south to Highway K, said, Everybody uses it and wants to

use it. He suggested a different trail route using only a small portion of Highway S to avoid user conflicts and possibly improve safety. I would propose, rather than Highway S, that we came up (going north from Highway K) either Baker Lake Road or Stormy Lake Road to Heart Lake Road to Rummels Road to Big Portage Lake Road to Land O Lakes, he said. Instead of fighting back and forth (between user groups), lets do it right. We can incorporate language in the proposals that we have to have paved shoulders. The importance of having a comprehensive countywide plan was explained by county snowmobile program coordinator Dale Mayo. We were approved for $820,000 for a three-mile segment in Conover to Muskrat Creek Road, Mayo said. We wouldnt have received that without showing how it would fit into a comprehensive plan. We are currently building a recreational bridge across the Wisconsin River independent of the highway bridge on Highway K. The $98,000 cost also was a grant. Theres a lot of competition and not a lot of money, so having a comprehensive plan helps. Land O Lakes trail A signed bike route going south from Highway B and connecting with Eagle River was explained by Dan Benson, representing Wilderness Lakes Trail. He came before the committee seeking approval of placing bike signs along portions of highways S and K. Weve received approval from all the towns involved, but Highway S is a concern, Ben-

son admitted. We would use Highway S and a short section of Highway K to East Buckatabon Road to Hunter Lake Road to Boot Lake Road to Highway G. This would be for experienced cyclists. Benson said they have received authorization to seek bids on the signs and would install them starting in midSeptember. We need your approval for signs along the highway and to clarify if the county highway department would install or will we be doing that? said Benson. Were funded and ready to start. Interim Highway Commissioner Jarred Maney indicated the highway department would work with the group. We have to do the locations and if you are trained to put them up, you can put them up, said Maney. Sitzberger suggested the signs read: Ride in Single File for safety reasons. The committee approved the sign placements. Other action The committee was informed three persons in the Highway Department were retiring in addition to Highway Commissioner Jim Fischer. It was noted the positions need to be filled before the winter plowing season. The three are Bud Slizewski, Ken Fox and Al Janssen. The committee recommended notifying the Personnel Committee for job postings. In other action, the committee: approved repair work on the scale at the Arbor Vitae highway shop. established a policy of not charging for use of county

equipment by private contractors if used on shop property, but would have to charge if taken off the property; and accepted a bid of $67,890 from Fahner Asphalt for striping 48 miles of county highway that would include road center and fog lines.

OUTDOORS
A puppy can keep an aging dog more active
WATER-BASED exercise has been the key to early season training with the scorching weather of recent weeks, and its a natural activity when it comes to most hunting breeds especially Labs. Its a good idea to be clear of the stairs and doorway entrance any time I declare to Katie and Gracie that its time to go. Even dogs without an extensive vocabulary dont miss that one. And when the word lake gets added in there, lets just say youd better be serious about opening the door. Spelling the word out, as my wife sometimes does while trying to trick the dogs, brings the same reaction. Katie, who is eight months beyond the age of 13, gets so excited that her back legs actually produce a little jump as she is lifted onto the tailgate and into the truck. Shes not big on being left out. The senior dog in this duo is on routine heart meds and has some respiratory issues when its hot and dry, but swimming is great exercise and she doesnt huff and puff while playing in water. As much as we try to control her activities for fear of a leg injury that may never heal, Katie is

In the Outdoors

as ready to fetch sticks and balls as young Gracie even if it means a high, running jump off the pier. Now dont be confused by that statement. Katie doesnt run like she used to. Shes down to short, quick steps that are so uneven that sometimes it looks like shes moving sideways and forward at the same time. Her fastest move in months came last week when Gracie chased a gray squirrel off the deck at 6 a.m., sending it right under Katies nose in the middle of the yard. She chased that little bugger into the woods and up a tree for all she was worth tail wagging in excitement when the chase had ended. Katie shows a lot of heart. Her will to be active and to compete with the youngster in every way is very strong, far stronger than her aging body can deliver. But she is quite often relegated to barking in disapproval as Gracie outruns, out-grabs and outmaneuvers her, often for nothing more complicated than a stick or ball. Readers share a lot of heartwrenching stories about the dogs theyve had to put down, some recently and some many years ago. The common denominator in all those stories is that dogs are truly mans best friend a part of the family. One of our readers wrote recently in the Forum section about

Gracie is the die-hard puppy that cant get enough of the water, hunting or human attention.

a single gray wolf being more important than any pet dog. I beg to differ. Nothing on this planet is more important than family, and dogs fit into family life better than any other animal. The writer was trying to convince me that he wasnt a wolf fanatic. Im not buying it. Americas affection for dogs isnt so difficult to understand. Dogs offer companionship, unconditional loyalty, household security and unlimited entertainment. They are a positive distraction to all the negative that surrounds us day in and day out. They are true friends. The hard part is knowing that, like everything else on this Earth, Katie isnt going to live forever. So we just cherish every day shes around, hoping she might make it to her 14th birthday, but aware that shes got some issues that could worsen at any time. And if we have to decide when shes had enough of this world, the decision will be based on how shes doing her quality of life and whether shes in any kind of pain. It has to be all about the dog, and not how we feel. This is one friend that wont have to suffer in those final days. Ive never owned a dog that lived beyond the age of 6, so in some ways, this is new territory for the scribbler. What isnt new is knowing that fire, disease and other health issues are main reasons for their departure whether that comes earlier or later. What I will never regret is the decision to get a second dog, Gracie, as Katie was slowing down. Its just a theory, but I believe that young fireball has kept Katie healthier and more active than she might have otherwise been. Theres something to be said for

Kept active by a puppy, in competition and self-defense, Katies still jump--Photos By The Author ing off piers at 1312 age 95 in dog years.

the will to compete. Gracie has provided Katie with a spark an incentive to keep running, fetching and demanding attention. Heck, when Gracie is in ramming mode, bearing down on Katie on a dead run, Katie has no choice but to move quickly. The youngster plays pretty hard. And while I dont want to build her up too much, prematurely, Gracie has already proven herself as an incredible companion and hunting dog. Shes a doggone cud-

dler who will push her way to affection if need be. What Gracie provides, that Katie no longer can, is the promise of long autumn walks in woods full of grouse and fields full of pheasant. At least thats the dream. The two-dog experiment is working nicely in the Krueger home. My advice dont let your senior hunting dog get too old before you consider adding another.

Hunters have Aug. 1 deadline for fall turkey, bobcat, fisher

Hunters and trappers are reminded by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that Aug. 1 is a harvest permit application deadline for fall seasons. Applications are due for the following seasons: fall wild turkey, Canada geese in the Horicon Zone, sharp-tailed grouse, bobcat, fisher and otter. Any fall turkey permits remaining after the initial drawing will go on sale beginning at noon Saturday, Aug. 27, and will be sold by zone until sold out or the season ends. In addition, all available 2011 antlerless deer permits will go on sale Saturday, Aug. 20, at noon. Antlerless tags can be purchased at the rate of one permit per person, per day, until the unit is sold out or the hunting season ends. Permits can be applied for through the online licensing center on the DNRs website, at all license sales agents, and at DNR service centers. Hours for service centers vary; check the DNR website for service center days and hours of operation. DNR service centers are not open Saturdays. Hunters also may call toll-free 1-(877) LICENSE (945-4236). A bobcat permit application costs $6; all other permit applications cost $3. Our DNR call center staff can also help answer any questions folks may have about the permit application process, said Dave Argall, DNR permit sales coordinator. The DNR call center is staffed by live operators from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week, and can be reached at 1(888) WDNR-INFO (936-7463).

Fishing with the Guides

Walleyes still hitting on weed edges in Chain

Some hot weather, a little rain and long days have gotten those water temperatures up to normal summer levels, and even a little higher in some cases. These conditions really make for great water sports activity such as swimming, but dont make for the best fishing. With those mid- to late-summer fishing doldrums, many anglers have gone to night fishing. Early mornings and evenings also can be pretty good, but those bright days are tough fishing days. The water levels remain higher than recent summers. Weed growth is right to the top in most cases. Walleye action has surprisingly been OK on the Chain during the daytime in the weeds. Either weedless jigs with minnow or slip bobbers have been working in 6 to 8 feet of water. Fishing is improving during the daytime on those deep, clear lakes, especially 25 to 30 feet of water. Leeches, crawlers and minnows have produced equally for this fishing. Bass action has been good, but less consistent on the part of those smallmouthies. They have been feeding quite actively in the early mornings on hatches, so that time slot has been productive. Daytime, however, has found these fish less active. Try leeches in the 7 a.m. range for the best results. Largemouth bass action has been quite good in the weeds. Plastics have worked best for these fish, but surface baits and spinner baits have also been working. Crawlers work very well for these fish, but you will have trouble with the bluegills taking the bait in most cases. Muskie action has been better at night than daytime, but some nice fish have been caught. All bait types have worked well, but many anglers prefer surface baits at this time of year. If you are going to fish during daytime hours, look for deeper weeds adjacent to deep water for the best results. A good number of tigers have been taken recently throughout the area. Panfish action has been quite good, with bluegills leading the way. The gills are in the weeds and will feed all day long on worms or waxies. Move around in the weeds to locate larger fish, and you will have to keep moving to avoid the small fish taking over your spots. Perch also have been hitting quite well in the deeper weed areas on leeches and minnows. Crappies are still in those deep brush piles, and have been hitting well on small tube jigs and Minnie Mites. All in all, the fishing is pretty good for this time of year. Good luck and good fishin.

Hunters interested in pursuing wild turkeys this fall have until Aug. 1 to apply for a permit. The

harvest during the spring 2011 season has elicited some concern among some hunters, turkey numbers rise and fall largely in response to weather conditions that influence winter survival and poult production, according to DNR wildlife experts. Turkey numbers will recover, given mild winters and warm, dry conditions during the critical June brood-rearing period. Turkey hunters therefore still can expect excellent opportunities to pursue turkeys during the fall 2011 season. The fall season will run from Sept. 17 through Nov. 17 for all seven of Wisconsins turkey management zones. A total of 1,450 permits will be available in Zone 7 in this area. Pending legislative approval

of a proposed rule change, an extended fall turkey season for zones 1 to 5 only will run from Nov. 28 through Dec. 31. If the extended season is approved, hunters who receive a fall turkey permit in zones 1 to 5 would be able to fill their unused permits during the extended season in the zone for which they were issued. Hunters may use dogs to hunt wild turkeys during the fall season throughout the state of Wisconsin. The bag limit is one turkey of any age or sex per fall turkey hunting permit (also known as a carcass tag). Turkey registration Starting with the fall 2011 turkey season, hunters will be able to register their turkey by

telephone or online. No in-person registration stations will be available. All harvested turkeys must be registered by telephone by calling the DNRs Harvest Registration System at 1-(888) HUNT-WIS (486-8947) or online via the DNRs website. The phone-in system will accept either touch-tone entry or voice commands. Hunters will be asked to record a harvest registration confirmation number on their hunting permit at the end of the call or online session. Turkey hunters will have until 5 p.m. on the day after harvest to register their turkey. The wild turkey page of the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov will have updates regarding specific registration procedures.

2011 waterfowl framework to take shape next two weeks

The Natural Resources Board will set the 2011 waterfowl season structure at its Aug. 10 meeting in Spring Green. With excellent wetland conditions and record-high continental duck numbers, waterfowl hunters likely will see a liberal 60-day duck season with bag limits similar to 2010. The proposed season framework should be available on the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website Aug. 1 at dnr.wi.gov. DNR wildlife staff will provide the latest information on the status of waterfowl and waterfowl management decisions in Wisconsin at several meetings and hearings over the next two weeks. State waterfowl hunting seasons are structured within an annual framework set by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. With the overall picture on the 2011 waterfowl breeding populations looking very promising, hunters can expect a liberal season framework in 2011, according to Kent Van Horn, state migratory game bird ecologist. Across the traditional survey area of the Dakotas, Canada and Alaska, total duck numbers were estimated at more than 45 million prior to breeding, which is a record high and 35% above the long-term aver-

Pro-Am taking muskie teams

The 35th annual Pauls Memorial Pro-Am Musky Classic, set on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 17-18, is still accepting entries for the anniversary event. The tournament, sponsored by the Riedel family and headquartered at Hiawatha Hide Away on Duck Lake, is one of the longest-running catch-and-release muskie fishing events in the North Woods. We are looking forward to the 35th annual Memorial Pro-Am and seeing all of the great sportsmen and -women who helped make my fathers tournament the success is has become, said tournament coordinator Paul Riedel Jr. of Eagle River. A field of 300 anglers (150 teams) will be accepted. Entry fee is $350 per team. Payouts will total $34,800 based on a full field of 150 teams. The first-place team will win $12,000, based on a full field. Second place will receive $6,000; third, $5,000; fourth, $4,000; and fifth, $3,000. There will be cash prizes through 10th place. We have a new prize offerd for the 35th anniversary, said Riedel. Any team to catch and successfully release a legal muskie, but does not finish in the top 10, will be entered in a $1,000 drawing, with two teams each winning $500. The Pro-Am is a memorial tournament in memory of Paul Riedel Sr., who died Nov. 24, 1994, at the age of 58 while vacationing in Fort Myers, Fla. Riedel was the originator of the tournament and the former owner of Hiawatha Supper Club, now Hiawatha Hide Away. For more information on the tournament or to get an entry form, interested fishermen should contact Paul Riedel Jr. at (715) 479-2256 or (715) 617-8345 or e-mail pwr3300@yahoo.com.

age. Canada goose breeding conditions in northern Ontario, where about 50% of the Wisconsin harvest originates, were average. However, breeding bird counts were still relatively low in 2011 due to several previous years of poor production. In Wisconsin the resident Canada goose breeding population estimate was up 12% at 176,095 geese, so Van Horn said hunters can still expect an abundant goose population this fall. 2011 is a very important year because we will be deciding the configuration of new duck hunting zones that will remain for the next five years, Van Horn said. There are currently four options out for pubic comment: the current two-zone structure; a three-zone structure with the Mississippi River as the third zone with a split in the season; a three-zone structure with Lake Michigan as the third zone and a split season structure; or four zones without season splits. A split means there would be two separate hunting periods with a break in be-

tween. We need to hear from duck hunters at these meetings as to what their preference is for duck hunting zones and season dates, Van Horn said. Although the Fish and Wildlife Service may delay these potential changes until 2012, we are continuing to request public input on this topic. We expect final word from the service on July 29. Citizens can attend one of several public hearings or submit comments through midnight Aug. 4 to James Christopoulos, assistant migratory ecologist, P.O. Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707-7921; by phone at (608) 261-6458 or e-mail james.christopoulos@wisconsin.gov. More information can be found on the waterfowl in the Wisconsin page of the DNR website. A post-flyway meeting will be Saturday, July 30, in Stevens Point, with the public meeting at 1 p.m. at Ramada Inn, located at 1501 Northpoint Drive. There will be a Conservation Congress meeting migratory committee at 9 a.m. at the same location.

Two to race as champions
___________

By Gary Ridderbusch

BY JEREMY MAYO
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW

___________

If the season were to end today, neither Jerry Grasse nor Jordan Kurtti would have the title of TNT Speedway track champion this season. But both of them drove like champions Saturday night. Grasse, from Phelps, and Kurrti, from Bruce Crossing, Mich., had dominating drives in the WISSOTA AMSOIL Dirt Track Series (WADTS) Midwest Modifieds and Street Stocks, respectively. Since they won the TNT Speedways AMSOIL Race of Champions qualifiers Saturday, the two will represent the Three Lakes track at the AMSOIL Race of Champions this September at Dakota State Fair Speedway as part of the WISSOTA 100. In other action Saturday night, Denny Tushoski of Rhinelander claimed the feature win in the TNT Bombers, while Bo Bennish of Wausau won his third-straight TNT Stingers feature. Three cautions in the first six laps of the Midwest Mods slowed the festivities, but it was Grasse who eventually won the feature. He now sits two points behind Bruce Belland. Belland, Duane Dunbar, Jeff McDonald and Joe Kin rounded out the top five. There was no guarantee that Kurtti was even going to make Saturdays show at TNT. His car developed a miss while racing the night before and a hard days work in the garage was not enough to fix a faulty water pump. After a quick call to friend Leo Nippa, Kurrti was on his way in a borrowed Street Stock. Following a heat win in a tough field of cars, the luck of the draw put Kurtti on the pole for the feature. That was all the help he needed to dominate a caution-free 20-lap main event. John Kallas, Leif Gunderson and Nick Visser were left to battle for second, which they did for much of the race. Kallas, Gunderson and Visser is how they came across with Ben Pitlik in fifth. Kallas still holds a two-point lead over Kurtti with five nights remaining. After a second-lap caution in the TNT Bombers, Denny Tushoski passed Logan Lannet for the lead on lap five and hid from the field. There was a battle for second when John Johnson held off Todd Brass, cutting Brasss point lead over Tushoski down to one point. Tyler Lundberg and Dan Schultz rounded out the top five. Bennish missed the heat race for the Stingers, but was not deterred, working from the last starting spot to the lead in just seven laps en route to his third feature win in a row. There was a scary moment on the last lap of the race as Bill Martin lost a right rear wheel and rolled his automobile, but he climbed out of the car unscathed. Eric LaFreniere continued to pad his points lead with a second-place finish, Rob Schuppler was third and Zach Denger was the last car running in fourth. Racing continues next Saturday at TNT Speedway with the WADTS Midwest Modifieds and Street Stocks, along with TNTs Bombers and Stingers. The second annual Jake Mullins Memorial at TNT will be Saturday, Aug. 6. The WADTS Street Stocks special is in honor of the driver who lost his life in a passenger-car accident last August. At least $450 will go to the winner and TNT is still accepting sponsorships and donations toward the purse. For more information, contact Tim Rutzen at (715) 546-2539. Hot laps will start at 7 p.m., with racing at 7:45 p.m. both nights. For more information, log on to TNTSpeedway.com.

Its back to football for Green Bay fans

Its back to football at Titletown. Green Bay Packers players will report to Lambeau Field Friday, July 29, and training camp will see its first practice Saturday night, July 30. Its an exciting time for Packers fans, as Green Bay is coming off a Super Bowl championship earlier this year. The popular Packers Family Night, presented by Bellin Health, is set for Saturday, Aug. 6, with tickets on sale now. The Packers are excited for the opening of training camp and to be preparing for the season, said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. Were especially looking forward to Family Night and having the defending champions in Lambeau Field for the first time this season. With the unique off-season, the format for training camp and in the interest of player safety, the football portion of the evening will be more of a practice-like setting, but will still have plenty of action and full-team drills. Over the years, the Family Night has allowed people who are not season ticket holders an opportunity to watch their favorite players in action on historic Lambeau Field. Overall, the evening will be filled with all the activities our families have come to enjoy and will be capped off with a spectacular fireworks show, said Murphy. Tickets, priced at $10, are available through Ticketmaster and may be purchased in person, over the phone or via the Internet. There is no ticket limit on purchases. Tickets also can be purchased at the Packers ticket office in person. All individuals, regardless of age, require a ticket for admittance. Over the phone, tickets can be purchased by calling toll free at (800) 745-3000. The toll-free Ticketmaster Express number, (866) 448-7849, also can be used. It is a self-service information line utilizing an automated system. Family Night will feature a full-team practice. Evening activities get under way in the stadium at 5:30 p.m., followed by on-field football drills at 6:30 p.m. The event will benefit the Wendys Wonderful Kids foster-care adoption program, a signature program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Included in the evenings activities will be the popular Chilis Jerseys Off Our Backs promotion with approximately 20 jerseys all of which will have been worn by Packers players in the just-completed practice. For fans not attending the event, WLUK-TV FOX 11 again will originate a statewide telecast. The event will be televised on WFXS-TV in Wausau. the live broadcast will start at 6:30 p.m. Despite all the off-season contract negotiations between NFL owners and players, its good to see that the Green and Gold will be back in action soon.

The YMCA of the Northwoods recently sponsored a sixweek training program called the Iron Eagle Challenge, in which athletes from the Northland Pines football team worked to complete strength endurance exercises. To earn the title of Iron Eagle and the shirt that goes along with it, the players were required flip a 500-pound tire 40 times, then carry a 200pound log back and forth across the parking lot without dropping it. For the final event, the Eagles were required to wear a 90-pound vest and run up and down two flights of stairs five times within one and one-half minutes. The idea is to get more students interested in the football program, said program coordinator Kevin Schweer. The program will be every year from now on. Schweer said he was happy with the turnout for the first year of the Iron Eagle Challenge. We started out with more people, but it basically came down to who had a chance in the finals, he said. For its first year, the final week of the Iron Eagle Challenge had five qualifiers.

Resch sets track speed record

Robby Resch of Antigo set the track speed record at Eagle River Speedway Thursday night, breaking his previous record by 0.05 seconds and turning a 14.55-second lap at nearly 95 miles per hour to take the Micro Sprints 600 win. Dustin Miller of Rhinelander won his eighth straight Pure Stocks feature. Other than Resch and Miller, it was all Eagle River drivers making the trek to the Auto Value victory lane. Jason Zdroik of Eagle River went from the middle of the pack to win his third straight B-Mods feature. Rhinelanders Rob Rodziczak took a second in the feature. Both racers won their respective heat races. Ben Pitlik of Eagle River put the hammer down to win the Street Stocks feature over Nick Visser of Elcho and Mark Schueneman of Rhinelander. Pitlik and Visser won their heat races. Ty Springer of Eagle River continued to dominate in the Junior Sprints, winning both the heat race and the feature. Tanner Resch of Antigo took second in both races. Wyatt McIntyre of Greenland, Mich., made his Junior Sprints debut by taking a third in both races. Six-year-old Tommi Jo Springer continues to improve in this class. Racing is held every Tuesday, with hot laps to begin at 7 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m.

The event was sponsored by State Farm Insurance agent Paul Belcher of Eagle River. The other flight leaders were as follows: A Flight: Ken Biegel, 91; Pat Fischer, 92; Tom Marion, 93.

Whatever work you do, always do your best

HAVE YOU EVER said, I just dont have time to do every job my boss wants me to do perfectly. I admit it, sometimes I get in a hurry and I cut corners. As a result of this laziness, we have to find time at a later time to redo the project, and this time we have to do it right. Life is full of such situations. And, if we have learned anything, it is to save time and do things right the first time. Heres a story that illustrates the point. An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the housebuilding business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire now while he could still enjoy the fruits of his labor. He had devoted over 40 years to his career. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go, and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

People Make the Difference

By Byron McNutt
When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front door key to the carpenter. This is your house, he said. My gift to you! The carpenter was shocked. What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. So it is with each of us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house we have built (or the life weve built). If we could do it over, wed do it much differently. But we cannot go back. You are the carpenter of your life. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board or erect a wall. Your attitudes and the choices you make today build the house (life) youll live in tomorrow. Build wisely with eternity in view. * * * JUST WONDERING. Can the families of full face transplant donors request or expect anonymity? There was an article in the media last week about Dallas Wiens, 26. He was the first U.S. recipient of a full face transplant. He is recovering from the surgery in Fort Worth, Texas. In November 2008, Wiens was painting a Fort Worth church from a cherry picker. The picker brushed against a high-voltage electrical wire. The burns left him without any facial features. The recipient might someday be walking down the street when someone walks up to him and says he looks just like a friend they knew in high school! * * * NEW YORK TIMES columnist Tom Friedman made several interesting comments in his column last week. He was writing about how times have changed in the last 50 years. He said many Democrats are still living as though its the 1960s, when unions were in their heyday. Many Republicans are living as if it is the

Theres no higher honor for a community newspaper
The Vilas County News-Review and its sister publication in Oneida County, The Three Lakes News, has been named first in the nation in the Community Service Award category of the National Newspaper Associations (NNA) Better Newspaper Contest for 2011. It is regarded by many as the highest honor the NNA can bestow on a newspaper that professes to be a community newspaper. National newspaper experts sifted through hundreds of entries to determine which weekly and daily newspapers do the best job of serving their communities of giving back. As pointed out by the judges, the News-Reviews entry was based on its sponsorship and coordination of a Warm The Children program that clothed more than 550 needed children last year. The entry also stressed the newspapers commitment to promoting special events for the tourism industry, Northwoods Relay For Life in the national battle against cancer, and for honoring firefighters and other emergency personnel in an annual publication each fall. First, wed like to thank our advertisers and subscribers. Without their support, it would be impossible to serve the community on a level that would garner national attention. While our advertisers benefit from the informative ads they place in our publications, their support helps us accomplish award-winning coverage of local government, community events, school news, high school sports, the arts, the great outdoors and breaking news. We invite all businesses that recognize the importance of community to become part of this partnership. The same is true for our subscribers. While they are keeping themselves informed on current news, upcoming events, local government, sports, outdoors and public sentiment on current issues, they are enabling us to serve the community. We could not be an effective information center or public sounding board without their support. There are a lot of outlets people can use to promote a business or service. The good news is that many business owners recognize that a community newspaper, such as the News-Review, provides many residual benefits. Most alternative outlets dont deliver the news, promote and cover community events, or publish pictures of your kids or grandkids. How about letters to the editor? How about award-winning feature stories and personal columns? A community newspaper does all that and a lot more. They are a government watchdog and a third-party source for verifying that public notices are published correctly. They create a historical record with every issue. A community newspaper represents the public and its only power is provided by the citizens who support it. Though honored to be recognized and extremely proud of our small but talented staff, the credit is not all ours to take. The volume and quality of our work is a direct reflection of the communities we serve cities and towns that thrive on a volunteer spirit that is second to none. Weve always believed, and now NNA judges have confirmed, that the News-Review is one of the best community newspapers in America!

1980s. Friedman says those days are gone. This is a new world. Its the 21st century. Fifty years ago, workers could expect to stay with their employer for 30 or 40 years. There was an unwritten contract, a family dynamic. There was loyalty. New workers today dont have that expectation. They might have five to 10 employers over their careers. Companies and industries might come and go during their working years. The new social media companies, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, Zynga and LinkedIn are enormously popular today, but might be gone 10 years from now, replaced by something different, the next big thing. Another point. Many of these new companies only employ a few thousand people. Some might have 10,000 employees, but if those people dont produce new ideas (reinvent themselves) every six months, they will be replaced with the next batch of thinkers and innovators. * * * Cheer up! the foreman told one of his recently divorced male workers. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. The man replied, Maybe so, boss. But the last one took my boat, and all my bait.

Why do we take pride in ignorance?
CONSIDERING HOW much we profess to admire education, its funny how often we take pride in our ignorance. A psychiatrist might have the answer to that problem, except psychiatrists are as proud of not knowing something as the rest of us. Years ago, I was skiing with a man Id met just a few days earlier in the lodge. All I knew about him was that he was a doctor. I took a bad, head-over-heels-skis-and-all fall and dislocated my right shoulder. The doctor schussed to a stop next to me. You all right? he asked, even though it should have been obvious that I wasnt all right. Not good, I gasped. Take a look at this, would you? I think I broke my shoulder. Gosh, I wouldnt know, he said with some pride. Im a psychiatrist. Everyone does it with one topic or another. They say, Im not good at geography. I cant spell. I wish I understood math. They wear their ignorance as a badge of honor. Its a mystery to me why were all so proud when it comes to not knowing something. If youre driving a car and you stop and lower the window to ask directions, the person you ask seems especially pleased to be able to say, Gee, I cant tell you. Im a stranger here myself. You cant complain about someone not knowing how to get somewhere in town if hes a stranger, but why is he so pleased with himself for not knowing? I suppose its because we feel that ignorance absolves us of all responsibility. There are people who are proud of not knowing almost everything. A favorite, allpurpose answer you hear every day is, Beats the hell outta me. We know a capable woman who sails a boat alone all over a lake even in heavy To ROONEY, Pg. 15A

Beaches popular during heat wave

In the midst of the heat wave that swept most of the Midwest, North Woods residents found solace in their numerous lakes and rivers. Here, Eagle River area residents enjoy the day at Silver Lake Beach by tanning in chairs, swimming with water toys and taking turns diving off the pier. --Staff Photo By ANTHONY DREW

Mental tricks beat the heat

THE DAY WAS hot, brutally hot. A good thermometer read 93 degrees, and it was all of that. The humidity matched the heat, and the sum total added up to a day no self-respecting north-Wisconsin native could take. It was, in short, the hottest day of the year. So, what, you may ask, was this north-Wisconsin native thinking about on that particular hottest day of the year last week? Well, he may not have actually been thinking, at least not within the bounds of lucidity, but what he did to counter the heat was to register to ski next Februarys American Birkebeiner. Yes sir, on the hottest day of the year, the only sane thing to do seemed to be signing up for the Birkie.

Trails & Tales

By Will Maines
It may not seem like it makes much sense to think of something like skiing 54 kilometers approximately 34 miles for those who are metrically challenged on the hottest day of the year, but actually, I have found from long experience that reverse psychology is a tool that really does work. Hot outside? Think about skiing. Forty below outside? Think about sitting on a lawn chair waist-deep in a north Wisconsin lake on a hot July day. It works; it really does.

Heres how it works for me. Take, for instance, the hottest day of the year. The average person would try to make it through such a day by whining, complaining, whining and complaining some more. Not me. Let me preface things by saying I do not mix well with heat at all. If I had my druthers, every day of the summer would range between 65 and 75 for highs with overnight lows between 50 and 60. Since I dont always get my druthers, especially during summers like the current one, I combat the heat entirely with my mind. Yes, I know, most of you would say that relying on my mind wouldnt make for a fair fight, but let me explain and you will see there is method To MAINES, Pg. 15A

More money for education not the answer in North
Dear Editor: After reading Carol Lamps letter to the governor, published in the Vilas County News-Review July 13, I have been trying hard to find a correlation between the amount of money spent on education in our state and country, and positive student results. Using two search engines, I found rankings of Wisconsin schools ranging from the mid20s (2003) to the mid-40s (2010) when compared to schools in all 50 states. Worldwide, our country has slipped from being the envy of other countries to ranking 29th in problem solving, 28th in math, 22nd in science and 18th in reading. Year after year, decade after decade, taxpayers have stepped up to the plate to provide funding for our local schools, all over the country. When you look at the declining results, it is clear that it is not simply a money issue. Please dont try to sell me that statewide budget cuts to education will spell disaster. The North Woods has been dealing with declining funding from the state for years, yet many North Woods schools (student performance) rank far ahead of school systems receiving millions more from the state. Perhaps those who are whining and scurrying to recall the governor should take a step back and take a moment to look at what is happening with the schools in the North Woods. Simply throwing more money at the education budget is not the answer history confirms it! Rob Krieghoff Sugar Camp

to my madness. Since were talking about hot and cold extremes, lets start with winter. How many times do we find ourselves ruing the fact we live in a place where 30 below isnt something we only see on a weather map for some far-distant place, but rather something that hangs around our necks sometimes for days and weeks on end? How do we cope? I dont know about you, but I go skiing. Actually, I dont go skiing at 30 below, but I do head out on the trails a lot of times when its 10 or 15 below. When its that cold, I dont ski as far or as fast as when its, say, 25 above, but I have just as much fun and I dont freeze. As I crunch my way along the trail listening to my poles squeak every time I plant

them in the snow and feel the cold seep through to my bones on every fast downhill run, I cope by envisioning a July day with temperatures in the 80s, water lapping around my ankles at the edge of a lake and, oh yeah, a buxom blonde of 21 with a larger bust measurement than IQ rubbing lotion on my back and keeping my cooler full of cold beer. I cope by picturing myself on a trout stream, water rolling over and around boulders and rocks, tall balsam trees blocking out the hottest of a high suns rays and trout, native brook trout, swirling hungrily to every cast of a Royal Coachman. I envision those things every stride of my ski outing, and, when my knees are too stiff and my fingers are too frozen to fool myself any longer into thinking about how 15 below is really not cold at all, I head in to throw another log on the fire or in my case, another bag of pellets in the stove take a warm

shower and enjoy a hot chocolate, a hot cider or, when desperate times call for desperate measures, a really hot toddy. So it is, too, that when we get to July and the dog days of August, when people try to fry eggs on the sidewalk, I cope. I think about January and February, about lakes covered with two feet of ice, of pine trees bent over under a load of heavy powder snow, and somehow I get through the day. I can tell you it is much easier putting on an extra log, an extra sweater or an extra blanket to stay warm in winter than it is to get through a sweltering summer day by imagining snowstorms and cute Eskimo girls, but I manage. If all else fails and mental gymnastics dont work, there is always a hose you can turn on yourself with a fine spray, a lake to jump into, or, if you are lucky and work in a large grocery store, a walk-in cooler in which to hide for long stretches of the day.

One of my favorite tricks is to fill a tub with extra-fine shaved ice, set up a powerful fan behind it, then stand in front of it dressed in my crosscountry skiing togs with the fan turned on high. The fan sounds like a northwester blowing 60 per all the way from the North Pole, the shaved ice stings your cheeks and your eyeballs like only a true howling January blizzard can and, if youve really been thinking ahead, a can of beer frozen semi-solid in the freezer for a few hours tastes way better than the best cherry Popsicle ever made. If you would like a complete list of my sure-fire beat the heat imagery remedies, just look it up at januaryinjuly@geniustherapist.com. While youre doing that, Ill be keeping one eye on the thermometer and the other on the mailbox for my Birkie entry confirmation. Hey, would you believe it?

Help, Im an American
Dear Editor: At a time when Americans are struggling to stay afloat, our Congress seems occupied with gaining/sustaining power in Washington, D.C. Rather than working on root causes, they are again throwing rocks. We are a nation suffering economically, so their main thrust is cutting spending in which most cuts are in deference to the nations infrastructure and the workers here who are employed in it. We allow millionaire speculators who reap huge profits to pay 15% on their capital gains while low-incomers pay 25% on income taxes and go after teachers earning a fraction of these speculators income? We give foreign oil corporations huge subsidies for drilling on foreign soil. We also give oil/agricultural corporations huge subsidies for growing corn for ethanol which in turn raises food costs at the market for everyday Americans? Forms of corporate welfare! Let the market decide. We tax diesel heavily even though its 30% more efficient than gasoline. We do not invest in better ways to extract environmentally clean natural gas of which we have an abundant supply. We have not pursued electric cable 200 times more efficient than copper to transmit electricity from wind/solar sources to our metro areas that requires 3 feet leeway versus 32 feet of leeway. We do not promote the Canadian pipeline to Oklahoma and refineries; instead we let speculators use huge storage containment to control pricing.

Simac campaign has little substance

Dear Editor: Kim Simac and her radio and TV ads do a good job of attacking Sen. Jim Holperin, but offer little in the way of substance or policy. Her onenote campaign against Sen. Holperin highlights her lack of experience, lack of real solutions and lack of connection to what is actually important to the citizens of Senate District 12. Its easy to sling accusations, but somewhat harder to present an actual platform even when given the opportunity on the WXPR radio forum. I need more than to hear Ill stand strong every time she speaks. Jim Holperin has represented me every day since he became a senator, giving me the opportunity to understand the issues and participate in the democracy that Wisconsin used to be. If you look at his voting history, I doubt you can deny his moderate stance on most issues in order to represent all of us here in the North Woods. Please dont let his opponents angry rhetoric over one position overshadow that record. I hope that every constituent who agrees with me will be a voter for Jim Holperin Aug. 16. John Federle Rhinelander

Politics is a rough-and-tumble game

Dear Editor: We were out of the country during the whole Madison episode earlier this year. We watched from afar with amazement. We saw names and faces of people we knew personally line up on both sides of an issue that had been brewing for years. When we got back in May, we tried to talk to people and get a sense for what was driving the emotion. What would make our friends and neighbors so contentious amongst one another? We heard passionate arguments on both sides. Were at a point in history where we all need to re-examine our core principles and the things that really matter. We also need to assume that people with whom we disagree are doing the same. Ive known Jim Holperin for more than 50 years. We grew up together. His wife, Kathy, and my sister were good friends growing up. My dad built the family home his mother lives in to this day. While our political philosophies have differed over the years, Ive always known Jim to be a good man. When Jim and the other 13 Democrats made the decision to leave for Illinois and not participate in the process, they violated some of my core principles. Americans have always been conflicted about public-sector unions. I remember my dad coming home one night when I was around 10 and wondering what those people down in Madison were thinking when they voted to allow them. Even Franklin Roosevelt was against the idea. How could collectivism and personal freedom coexist in the public sector where the unions could end up being a shadow government? Fifty years later, weve come to this point and only time and circumstance will tell. But in all these years, I can tell you that my dad would never have condoned a legislator refusing to participate. All these years when Progressives from our legislatures voted in one program after another that were a total anathema to him, never would he have condoned anyone who was elected and then refused to participate, even if he agreed with them. I dont know if Jim will prevail or not, but he certainly deserves to go through this recall process. Its possible Gov. Scott Walker and the Republicans may have overreached in their efforts to solve our serious debt problems. Conversely, many think Progressives have been overreaching for years. Our system, the one we all trust and participate in, will correct those overreaches if given the chance. By those same standards, I am equally as disappointed in the efforts to recall the legislators who voted for the budget repair bill. There is absolutely no moral equivalency between the two efforts. Recall was intended as a remedy for acts of malfeasance or dereliction of duties. To me, leaving your Senate seat and refusing to participate qualifies. Are we now going to start recalling elected officials every time they propose or pass legislation we dont like? Politics is a rough-and-tumelse, I often say, Im not good with figures. This makes me a wonderful person? Theres a whole array of shortcomings we have that we brag about, as though stupidity made us special. For instance, Im suspicious of the person whos always saying, Im color-blind. Well, he may have some problem, but Im convinced that half the time, color blindness is an affectation people assume for some small pleasure they take from being special. I suppose now Ill be getting an angry letter from The Association for Color-Confused Americans. Left-handers love it when something is inconveble game and hardball has always been played on both sides of the aisle, but there are lines we dare not cross lest we become ungovernable. So I ask myself why? Why would Jim and the others feel they could take such action? Why all the extreme passion on both sides of this issue? My opinion is that weve become overly focused on government and its promises. We want what weve got coming, what were entitled to. Im guilty of it myself. Ive paid way more into Social Security than Ill ever receive. Its mine! Im entitled! Lets be clear. Life is a struggle, and it always will be. Weve got to resist the idea that government programs and policy can alleviate or mitigate our struggles. The real question is, Are we going to struggle as free people, or in bondage to a government that whispers, Just give me a few more of those freedoms and a bit more money. Wait! Not even yours, but some other guys in a class of people you dont much like anyway. Everything will be fine! If thats where we are now, God help us. Jerry Zimpelmann Eagle River nient for them to do. Theres nothing wrong with it, but I see no great virtue in being left-handed. They got hold of a bad gene is all. Theres no question that there are some advantages to being really ignorant. If youre dumb and uninformed about everything, no one can beat you in an argument. That may account for why so many people seem to enjoy not knowing anything. Theyre dumb but happy.

READER OPINION
Pro-Holperin mobs also intimidating
Dear Editor: Julie Reichenberger wrote a letter in the July 19 Vilas County News-Review about how saddened she was with the way Sen. Holperin was disrespected during the Three Lakes Fourth of July parade. She said it was difficult to explain to her daughter. I dont agree with booing either. How did Ms. Reichenberger explain to her daughter why Sen. Holperin hid out in Illinois, away from his job, for more than three weeks, knowing full well that his fellow legislators were being subjected to constant intimidation and harassment. His being at work would have stopped it? How would she explain to her daughter why many of the pro-Holperin mobs brought their children so they could be used as props to forward their agenda? How would she explain to her daughter why some of the some from the same mobs interrupted a presentation Gov. Walker was holding for some Special Olympians? Ginger Gullan Eagle River

The 13th annual Joe Bucher Blues Fest, one of the areas popular summer music events, has teamed up with both the Northland Pines Youth Football & Cheerleading (NPYFC) organization and the Northland Pines High School (NPHS) football program as a key fundraiser. Running a youth football program at any level costs money, said Bucher, a longtime sponsor and supporter of the youth program. A tough economy and shrinking budgets dont make the fundraising job any easier, yet this event brings the entire football community together. I am very excited that we are now on one team and this event supports our football program from the first day a kid suits up until he graduates from high school. All proceeds from Joe Buchers blues fests now help to fund the entire youth football program from start to finish. NPYFC board member Amy Young also pointed out, The addition of the high school program increases our volunteer base tremendously. This entire event is run by a group of dedicated parents, coaches, players, families and friends, and we could not do it without them. Head coach Jason Foster said he is also very excited about teaming up with both the NPYFC group and Buchers Blues Fest. We need to be all on the same team both on and off the

Northwoods Relay For Life nears

Sisters to be recognized as caregivers

Our amazing bodies

I am amazed, always amazed, about the bodys ability to heal. In the past year I have broken two fingers, torn my shoulder, had the flu, and am now just recovering from pneumonia. I know that caregiving has worn me down, making me susceptible to anything that comes along. For someone who is never sick or has any complaints to speak of, it has been a wicked 15 months. But, I must say, that my body, worn out as it is, has bounced back every time with very little intervention. I saw the same phenomena when Bentley decided that a razor blade would be a good snack last fall. His body healed quickly. Our bodies are truly amazing. We abuse them with junk food, a lack of exercise and with stress and they come back. The question is, Why do we ignore our bodies in the first place? I can come up with all kinds of reasons. Care-giving fatigue, the stress of grief and too much junk food, to name a few. We all have a list, I am sure. But these bodies are so unique and so special that ignoring the little they require to remain healthy makes no sense at all. As we move out of a hot summer and as fall approaches, it might be a good time to do one more evaluation. In addition to evaluating our goals and lifestyles, as I suggested earlier this month, it might be wise to evaluate our self-care. How much exercise do we give our bodies? Do we walk or run or swim a few times a week? Do we drink clean, fresh water daily? Do we stretch? Do we feed our bodies lots of green veggies, colorful fruits and whole grains? Do we minimize our intake of fat and To FRIEDEL-HUNT, Pg. 2B

Sisters Terri Kemp and Beth Anderson were selected this years Northwoods Relay For Life honorary caregivers and will receive special recognition during the relay in Eagle River Aug. 5-6. The sisters were nominated by Barbara Wilkinson of Land O Lakes and captain of the Ely Memorial United Church of Christ team. Kemp, of Roscoe, Ill., and Anderson, of South Carolina, are the daughters of Breck and Sandra Brown of Land O Lakes. The sisters cared for their parents from November 2009 until September 2010, when the Browns passed away within five days of each other. Sandra Brown had been diagnosed with stage four endometrail cancer in July 2008, and Breck Brown was told he had cancer in September 2008, with a diagnosis of non-Hodgkins low-grade B cell follicular lymphoma. Both were cancer free by the spring of 2009 and were named honorary co-chairpersons and caregivers of the Northwoods Relay For Life. The Browns left the North Woods in December 2009 to stay at their condominium in South Carolina. Sandra Browns cancer recurred in July 2009 and in February 2010. Blood clots were found in her leg and lung in July 2010. Days later, Breck Brown was diagnosed with lymphoma in the brain. Kemp began to travel back and forth To RELAY, Pg. 2B

Kemps husband made the trip north from Illinois every weekend and Andersons husband came from South Carolina at every opportunity he could take. Anderson mused, The thing that stands out to me about the experience is that there was beauty and blessing in the midst of the challenge, grief and trauma. It was all bittersweet, knowing every day that I was that much closer to losing my favorite people while, at the same time, wanting peace and comfort for them. Despite the sadness of the situation, my sister, parents and I spent a lot of time together what a gift that was, she added. Breck Brown succumbed to his cancer Sept. 5, 2010, and Sandra Brown followed Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010. Relay 2011 Both daughters had participated in the 2009 Northwoods Relay For Life with their parents and the Ely Memorial Church team, and both will return for the 2011 event. To get up there and speak is going to be tough, said Kemp, thinking about this years Relay For Life event. Just to be there for my mom and dad is most important. Donna Martens, event chairwoman, said, We are proud of what Terri and Beth were able to do for their parents as their journey ended. We know how very proud Breck and Sandy are of their daughters. This will be the 12th annual Relay For Life. According to Martens, the goal has been set to raise $80,000. The event will be held at Northland Pines High School in Eagle River.

The gray cedar house, nestled in a wooded lot on the Three Lakes Chain of Lakes, is deceptively large inside. There are six roomy bedrooms, which the Zellers need for their much-loved visiting family and friends. Inside, Gerald Grandpa Jerry Zeller moved gingerly to the big antique dining table. He is recovering from a fall which left him with several broken ribs. Oh, its not a big deal, he assured me. This low-key attitude seems to be his approach to life. He sat with his back to the lake, filtered light streaming through the pines and across the expansive porch. It runs the entire length of the house akin to a tree house with a sunset view. He has refinished the table and chairs in a golden oak (a skill he learned from his dad) and this is where he paints. A box filled with oil paint tubes rests on the table with an old mason jar, displaying a bouquet of various brushes. I got my first brushes in a pack for 49 cents, Zeller recalled. This day, he was experimenting with a fan brush, painting pine trees on a small canvas. He was frustrated with the results. The first picture I ever painted is a family joke, Zeller said. It was all out of proportion with a man with a tiny head and a body as big as his house. Zellers wife of 52 years, Marilyn, laughed as she nodded in agreement. Like many couples married for so many years, they dont always agree. The conversation stopped frequently as they sorted out whose recollections were most accurate. He began making paintings around the time of his retirement in 2000. Like Grandma Moses, he has had no art lessons. He paints in a primitive style from his photographic memory of the small farming community in which he spent his youth. Zeller was born in Cissna Park, Ill., which was populated primarily by the Amish. I can remember every detail of the places I paint, he said. Old Bill Dreydens blacksmith shop always had sparks flying. Wed go in there and hed say, You boys want some poison? Then hed take some candy off the shelf that was like gumdrops, but was in long strips. Zeller has made a painting of this shop as well as other scenes from his memories.

of his childhood days living in the farm country near Cissna Park, Ill. --Contributed Photo

There are things going on in the paintings that, if I dont explain it to you, you wont know what it is, he said. Zellers grandparents were Amish, but his father, a painting contractor, refused to join the church. Living in Cissna Park was full of simple pleasures, but also involved hard work. Motor-driven vehicles were rare and farmwork was done by hand. One would assume that Zellers childhood days were all happy, but he recounted, Are you kidding? I hated it! There were no bowling alleys or movie theaters. There was an ice skating pond, but I didnt have skates and was the one sliding around in my galoshes. And then I couldnt date my girlfriend anymore when she turned 16 and joined the Amish church! Time heals and the fun and joy in Zellers paintings indicate his memories are now favorable. Zeller attended the University of Illinois and married his college sweetheart, Marilyn. Their pride is evident when they speak of their three children. The son is a physician in California and was chosen doctor of the year. One daughter has a masters degree in fine art and computer graphics and the other, a teacher, is for now a stay-athome mom, raising two of Zellers six grandchildren. Zeller became an engineer and, after several moves, settled with his family in Lake Bluff, Ill., where his wife taught school for 35 years. He owned three companies and took up collecting and paint-

ing lead soldiers as a hobby. This detail work no doubt helped to prepare him for his folk art painting. He was the proud owner of some antique French soldiers which became a lump of lead in a house fire, caused by a faulty toaster. The Zellers lost almost everything. Traumatic events like fires often cause changes in peoples lives and, for Zeller, Now I always keep the toaster unplugged, he said matter-of-factly. Undaunted, he purchased some canvas and began painting scenes from his past. Now he spends five months in Three Lakes and the rest of

the year on Amelia Island, Fla., a block and a half from the ocean. The Three Lakes Center for the Arts is featuring Zellers paintings this summer in the gallery on 1760 Superior St. He has a lot of memories to keep him painting for a while, but says he may take up something new one day. I dont know what, he said. I havent thought of it yet. Gay Scheffen writes Artist of the Month articles for the Three Lakes Center for the Arts in the Northwoods.

from her Illinois home to her parents condominium, located near her sisters home in South Carolina, during the winter months. With a stop for a period of time in Illinois, where the Browns had made their home and ran their business for many years, the couple were determined to return to their North Woods home. It was then that the journey back to Land O Lakes began. Kemp made the trip with her parents in July 2010 and Anderson followed shortly thereafter. The sisters, working with an area hospice service, provided around-the-clock care for their parents which included giving them shots and helping them do things they could no longer do for themselves. Kemp, who owns and operates a wine, art and gift shop in Illinois, said she received a great deal of support from home and work, allowing her to stay with her parents. If I would have had a job, I would have quit, said Kemp. In the whole spectrum of things, we really didnt think about it a lot. It was just, this is what were going to do. Likewise, Anderson said, I was very fortunate to be able to be with my parents during their illness and death. I know many people are unable to leave their families and jobs as I was able to. Initially the sisters would both respond every time one of their parents needed assistance, no matter what the time of day or night. They quickly learned that, in order to keep up their own strength, they needed to take shifts. I couldnt have done it without Beth and I know she couldnt have done it without me, Kemp stated.

Therapy dogs serve diverse needs

Quincy, a 15-month-old golden retriever owned by Nancy Diepenbrock of Eagle River, recently traveled to Appleton to be evaluated by Therapy Dogs International (TDI) for certification as a registered therapy dog. TDI is a volunteer group, organized to provide qualified handlers and their therapy dogs for visits to hospitals, assisted living, hospice, nursing homes, womens and homeless shelters, schools, community events and outreach programs. The dogs used for therapy work vary in breed and size, but all have a great love of people. They dont care if the patient is young or old, sick in body, handicapped or disfigured. Therapy dogs can be used to motivate, improve socialization and encourage appropriate behavior. Patients who do not respond to other forms of therapy may respond to a visit by a therapy dog.

Humane officer reports findings

Vilas County humane officer Candy Grambow has reported on her findings after a recent pet vaccination clinic held in Vilas county. A total of 59 dogs were tested: three tested positive for heartworm; 15 tested positive for Lyme disease; and nine tested positive for Anaplasmosis. As Vilas Countys humane officer, I am confronted with a variety of animal-related issues. Educating pet owners is one of the most important aspects of my job, stated Grambow. Within the last two years, I have noticed an increase in heartworm-, Lymeand Anaplasmosis-positive dogs in our area. This had prompted me to introduce heartworm and tick-borne disease testing to one of the local vaccination clinics held in Vilas County, she added. Grambow recommends having dogs tested every year for heartworm disease and to keep them on heartworm prevention. She stated that pet owners must be proactive with their own pets. Any animal not current on the recommended heartworm preventative is at risk. Topical tick prevention is recommended during spring, summer and fall months. Pet owners should check with their veterinarian about having their dog vaccinated for Lyme disease and for heartworm and tick preventatives.

QUINCY

Many libraries have adopted the Tail Waggin Tutor program, which encourages children to read aloud to an attentive, gentle therapy dog. For more information about setting up a therapy dog visit to a facility or to learn more about the program, contact Diepenbrock at (715) 479-2498.

The class A and class B and class A and class B licenses shall, as a condition of maintaining and keeping a license in the town, continue in the active operation of business. Therefore, if a license issued by the Town does not operate for a minimum of 120 consecutive days of its issuance or does not operate for a minimum of 120 consecutive days or more per license term, such situation may be grounds for revocation of license. Consecutive days shall be construed to account for normal weekly days of closure for any given licensee. ii. The Town determines that retention of a license by a party not doing business or not intending to resume doing business is declared to be against public policy and constitutes grounds for revocation of said license. iii. Exceptions to the requirements of continued business license usage would be closed to be sold by owner, bank foreclosure or any act of God which damaged or destroyed the facility for which the license has been issued to operate the licensed business in. In such case, the holder of the license is allowed up to two (2) years to sell, repair damages or rebuild the damaged or destroyed facility and again resume operating the business utilizing the license from the premises for which the license issued was intended. iv. In the event a licensee violates the provisions of this article, disciplinary action may be taken by the Town Board including reprimand, suspension of the license for a specified number of days or revocation of the license. Any license that has been revoked shall not be reinstated within the following six (6) months. Any disciplinary action taken shall be done after notice to the licensee and after a hearing. The proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with Wis. Stats. 125.12(2)(b) or any amendments thereto. Prior cancellation of any license the Town Clerk shall notify the licensee in writing of the Towns intention to cancel license for nonuse and provide the licensee with an opportunity for a hearing. Such notice shall also specify the time, place and date of the hearing which shall be not be less than fifteen (15) days after the date of the notice. v. In lieu of revoking such license, the Town Board shall, after notice and hearing, determine if good cause exists for the failure of the licensee to be open for business for periods in excess of the minimum set forth in this section. If such cause is found to exist, the Town Board may set such terms as it deems appropriate to the continuation of the license with respect to minimum days of operation or a time frame within which the subject premises must be open for business to avoid revocation of the subject license. vi. There shall be no refund of any license fee paid to a party whose license is revoked. vii. In lieu of a hearing, the Town Board may accept surrender of the license and the Town Board shall then determine the time period before another application for the same type of license will be accepted from the former licensee.

Paula Hendrickson mentioned a few Y highlights: 1 The Eagle River Branch is planning to run an After School program during 20112012. 2 July 9th is the annual Y Midnight Moonshine run. 3 August 27th & 28th the Y will participate with the Eagle River Revitalization program in the Festival of Flavors. 4 September 6th is the Y Annual Golf Outing which will be held at the Eagle River Golf Course. 5 Movies In The Park has begun and upcoming Y movie nights will be July 1st, July 9th, July 22nd and August 12th. 6 The Y has installed four new TVs in the Fitness Center. Jim Bretl spoke regarding his experience with the Y, noting that he is a part time resident of Eagle River. He noted how wonderfully staffed the Y is, how helpful the Y trainers are, and the fact that the students using the Y seem to gel well with the older adults. He has also had tourists approach him in the Y and they cant say enough great things about it; they are all happy to have a facility like this to work out in. Bretl commended the Board for this outstanding achievement, noting it is clearly working well with kids, adults and the community. Administrators Reports Mike Richie reported the following: 1 Enrollment report is monitored daily. We are a little bit ahead of last year at this time. June 23rd last year was 1,384 and this year June 23rd is 1,407. At this time every class size is within SAGE guidelines. We cant make any decision on the Land OLakes 4K and Kindergarten until August when numbers are more firm. 2 Staffing report: We currently have 10 positions to fill. We have 4 1/4 positions at this time we are not filling, but that could change based on district need. We will put the updated staffing sheet in the next board packet. 3 The Leadership Team (comprised of teachers, board members and administrators) will be meeting at Conserve School in July to work on district goals, professional development and building level goals. Conserve School is allowing us to use their facilities free of charge. 4 The Budget Repair Bill was signed by Governor Walker on Sunday afternoon. That will become law on June 29, 2011. The NPEA teachers contract expires on June 30, 2011. The NEST I and NEST II contracts expire on December 31, 2011. Once the contracts expire, will need to have an Employee Handbook in place. We are required to adopt an Employee Handbook within four months of the passage of the law, so the Board will begin working on that project. The first Special Board Meeting to discuss the Employee Handbook, which by law must be held in open session, will be Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. The second Special Board Meeting to discuss Employee Handbook will be Wednesday, July 13, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. Both of those meetings will be held in the High School Large Group Instruction Room. Staff may attend these meetings and the Board is allowed to meet and confer and obtain input from staff; however, the Board is prohibited from creating a mutually agreeable document because that is bargaining and is clearly illegal. Scott Foster reported that we are partnering with the Vilas County Economic Development Board and they are working extremely hard to get high speed Internet up here. They realize that is one of the issues holding us back economically in Vilas County. Foster reported that we also worked with the Economic Development Board and the public libraries to keep WiscNet; that was successful and we have kept it now for a two year window. It will be re-assessed at that time.

Present were board members: Mark Vander Bloomen; Holly McCormack; John Sarama; Jim Mulleady; and Mike Jovanovic. Eric Neff and Mike Sealander were absent. Quorum was established. Also present were Mike Richie, District Administrator; Jackie Coghlan, Middle School Principal; and Susie Block, Recording Secretary. There were 20 citizens in attendance. Open Meeting Verification Jim Mulleady stated that the meeting had been duly called with meeting notices posted at the following locations: 1. The Northland Pines High School and Middle School in Eagle River 2. The Northland Pines Elementary Schools in Eagle River, Land OLakes and St. Germain 3. The Vilas County Courthouse - Eagle River 4. The Eagle River City Hall 5. Additional notice has been given: I. The Vilas County News-Review-Eagle River II. WERL/WRJO Radio Station-Eagle River III. The Rhinelander Daily NewsRhinelander IV. WHDG Radio Station-Rhinelander Approval of Agenda MOTION by Mike Jovanovic that the Board approves the agenda as presented. Second by Mark Vander Bloomen. Voice vote 5-0. Motion carried. Employee Handbook discussion Stu Waller presented the Board with Neolas outline of a handbook for professional staff, noting that this would be online and the policies which are referred to throughout the handbook would be linked to the handbook. The cost of the handbook is $250.00 which is a one time cost. Waller noted that if he comes up to help with the handbook then it would be another $250.00 for that service. The Board indicated they would purchase the Neola policy handbook, noting that Neola is backed by the law firm of Davis & Kuelthau, which reviews everything that Neola puts out to Wisconsin school districts. Jim Mulleady asked those in attendance if they had any input for the Board regarding the Employee Handbook. Jennifer Nickel expressed concern over the proposed 7:30 to 3:30 workday, noting she is concerned with parents being able to get their children to daycare and then get to work by 7:30 a.m. Nickel also noted concern regarding supervision of students between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. if teachers are in staff or department meetings. Amanda Acklam expressed concern over the 7:30 to 3:30 workday indicating agreement with Nickel. Acklam stated that most teachers already work well beyond their work day; she has given up her prep time to volunteer to work on projects or other needs of the district. Acklam noted she did not want the guaranteed prep minutes removed. Acklam asked that the Board does not cut the mileage rate in half for the districts traveling teachers, as part of her job is traveling between three school buildings and she puts a lot of miles on her vehicle. Mike Richie said as of right now the plan is to keep prep time the same but noted that if we have a three or four million dollar shortfall due to a failed referendum then we may need to look at cutting prep time in the future. Annette Numrich expressed concern regarding any reduction in travel reimbursement. Numrich indicated she gives up lunch time to travel to IEP meetings, never takes a break during the day, never goes down to the lounge to take a break. Numrich said she is here by 7:00 a.m. every day to prepare for her kids and be ready when they come in. Numrich feels it is an insult that teachers are not considered to be already putting in their time. Becky Boxrucker spoke regarding 7:30 to 3:30 workday, noting that she will get her kids to daycare when they need to be and that is not the Boards problem, but her concern is how the students are taken care of during that time for 30 to 40 minutes before the school day begins; her kids in special education can not go in to the lunch room in the morning and if they did, it would start out their day horribly. Boxrucker noted she wishes she could punch a clock because the district would be paying her a lot more money. Boxrucker was also concerned about kids missing at the end of the day if teachers leave just five minutes after the kids; they are usually there beyond that and are going back and forth with the bus drivers and secretaries to make sure all kids are accounted for and on their buses or being transported home via family. Boxrucker asked that the Board please consider that we need to have a very good plan for the kids in the morning if they are going to be here longer than 10 or 15 minutes without supervision and we also need a good plan for the end of the school day to ensure that kids are safely transported home. Ann Hewitt asked if the Board was going to put this employee handbook document out for the public. Mike said at this point this is a draft and we will be working on it and changing it daily so it will not go out to the public until it is in final form. Our goal is to make it as brief as possible and concise. Ann Hewitt said that it was hurtful that the Board did not want to negotiate the contract extension for the teachers and she is already feeling unappreciated in many other ways. She is also disappointed that the Board wanted to change the workday from 7:30 to 3:30 and hopes that we reconsider the workday. Mike Gerlach asked do we know what financial shape we are in? Margo Smith, Business Manager, said we will have a much tighter budget because of the 5.5% per pupil reduction in revenue; however, we didnt get much funding from the state so we are in better shape than many other districts she knows of that are making a 25% layoff in staff due to a huge funding cliff. Margo said she is still putting together the budget and there are still many unknown factors that will affect the budget. Gerlach said the teachers have already taken a hit and he is hoping the Board is not going to use tools to take more away from the teachers. Jim Mulleady noted that we are getting constantly changing information from the state and we will not have the final numbers for a while. John Sarama asked the other board members what the negotiation process was in the past, noting he did not appreciate being chastised by teachers regarding negotiations when the Board did put in a good faith effort to negotiate. Mike Jovanvoic said that the last two two-year contracts took us eight months to negotiate and it went through Personnel Committee and then went to the full Board in closed session for approval. Those contracts were negotiated by Josh Skubal as NPEA President. Holly McCormack noted these are all unchartered waters and new to everyone so it is not going to be the same as negotiations were in the past. Deb Foster asked if the issue is financial then why the language changes that are not financial? Holly McCormack responded that the issues are not just financial, that we also need to be doing what is best for the students and the taxpayers so the Board is looking at language changes. Mike Richie said for example the Board is changing the bell schedule in 2012-2013 so that we can share staff between the high school and middle school more effectively. We are also eliminating seniority as the Boards goal is to keep the best teachers in the classroom, regardless of seniority. Annette Numrich asked if you have two equally qualified teachers then you wouldnt exclude the more senior one? Mike said no in that case you would not exclude the senior staff member; at that point you would review qualifications and conduct an interview process between the two staff members. Becky Pokrandt asked about the co-curricular contracts area. Mike Richie said Brian Margelofsky, Activities Director, is working with the Athletic Committee on a Co-Curricular Handbook and they are reviewing cocurricular salaries as well, but that will be completely separate and not a part of the Employee Handbook. Pokrandt said this has been a tough year, that she does not want any more he said she said emails or letters, that she wants to go into next year and get all of this settled. Pokrandt said we all need to work together on this because when we are upset students pick up on and reflect on these issues. We need to show support for each other. We understand we need set hours but she puts in a lot of additional time as it is. Jennifer Nickel asked about the dental plan. Mike Richie said the plan right now is to stay with the same dental plan that staff has now; there is no plan to change anything with dental. Jason Foster asked will there be co-curricular salary changes and assistant changes? Mike said yes the Athletic Committee is looking at that and there will likely be changes proposed to the Board at a later date. Gretchen Yagow asked about whether the Board would be doing a wage freeze. Mike Richie said that is the one item that will be negotiated; it is referred to as Total Base Wages and the Board can negotiate up to CPI (Consumer Price Index). Yagow indicated teachers were trying to plan their personal budgets and wondering what their pay would be for 2011-2012. Richie said teachers could take your total wages from 2010-2011, deduct 5.8% retirement, deduct 12% insurance premium and that will give you a rough idea; teachers may also contact Tera Fritz, Payroll & Benefits, to assist with those calculations. Margo Smith cautioned that teachers can not hold Tera to those estimates because withholdings will change and there are factors we have no control over. Yagow concluded by saying that teachers have a division in our own staff and there is a lot of tension in this room tonight; some teachers want to have it the old way and some teachers want to just move forward. Yagow asked if the Board was considering a three tiered financial payment plan. Mike Richie said we have heard about it but have not seen it and the Board is still considering items related to salary structure. Ann Hewitt asked when are pay periods and what about sick leave? Hewitt indicated that if we require sick notes every time that staff members will be afraid to call in sick or running to the doctor for every sick day. The Board indicated they are more concerned with patterns of sick leave abuse and may ask for doctors notes in cases where there are patterns of calling in sick every Friday or every Monday type of thing. Annette Numrich asked if we look at a three tiered payment plan will we also look at professionals outside of the teachers on it like her position? Numrich indicated she is an Occupational Therapist but has always been lumped in with teachers. Tera Fritz suggested keeping the handbook vague so the Board would have room for adjustments. Mark Vander Bloomen said some of it needs to be very detailed and the Board does have the right to change the handbook at any time if something is not working. Ann Hewitt suggested that the Board have listening sessions to talk about issues. Diane Reimer asked about side letter #6 to the old contract and Mike said we need to get some legal clarification on the language. Mike said the employee hits 65 and the employees spouse was never employed by the district then it may be illegal to keep the spouse on our insurance. At this point all input was completed. The Board thanked the staff in attendance for their input and reminded them the handbook is a work in progress. The Board reminded everyone the next meeting for the handbook will be Wednesday, August 13, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. as posted. Mike Richie thanked staff in attendance for remaining professional and giving great input to the Board to consider. Adjournment MOTION by Mark Vander Bloomen that the Board adjourns. Second by John Sarama. Voice vote 5-0. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 7:47 p.m. SPECIAL BOARD MEETING July 13, 2011 The special meeting of the Northland Pines Board of Education of Wednesday, July 13, 2011, was called to order by President Jim Mulleady at six-o-five p.m. (6:05 p.m.) in the Large Group Instruction Room located in the Northland Pines High School, Eagle River, Wisconsin. Present were board members: Mark Vander Bloomen; Eric Neff; John Sarama; Jim Mulleady; Mike Sealander; Holly McCormack; and Mike Jovanovic. Quorum was established. Also present were Mike Richie, District Administrator; Margo Smith, Business Manager; Scott Foster, Elementary Principal; Jim Brewer, High School Principal; Matt Spets, Elementary Principal; Jackie Coghlan, Middle School Principal; Josh Tilley, Dean of Students; Maggie Peterson, Director of Instruction/Learning; Tera Fritz, Payroll & Benefits; and Susie Block, Recording Secretary. There were 28 citizens in attendance. Open Meeting Verification Jim Mulleady stated that the meeting had been duly called with meeting notices posted at the following locations: 1. The Northland Pines High School and Middle School in Eagle River 2. The Northland Pines Elementary Schools in Eagle River, Land OLakes and St. Germain 3. The Vilas County Courthouse - Eagle River 4. The Eagle River City Hall 5. Additional notice has been given: I. The Vilas County News Review-Eagle River II. WERL/WRJO Radio Station-Eagle River III. The Rhinelander Daily NewsRhinelander IV. WHDG Radio Station-Rhinelander Approval of Agenda MOTION by Mike Sealander that the Board approves the agenda as presented. Second by Eric Neff. Voice vote 7-0. Motion carried. Employee Handbook discussion Mike Richie presented the Board with a revised draft of the Employee Handbook which included information specific to Northland Pines School District along with some changes recommended by Richard Clapp, President of Neola. The Board began a page by page review of the draft. Cover Page: The Board changed Employee Handbook to Employment Handbook per Richard Clapps recommendation and that will be noted throughout the handbook. The Board deleted the last sentence at the bottom of page 1 related to Phase II. The Board changed librarian to Library Media Specialist on page 2. Page 3 no changes. Page 4 in the 2nd paragraph delete the yellow highlighted section and have that sentence end with the word benefits. Page 4 the Board agreed that limited term employees will still receive benefits as they have in the past. Page 5 no changes. Page 6 no changes. Page 7 delete the word employee in the first paragraph and replace with a (professional staff member.) Page 7 delete the word Board (owned) in last paragraph and replace with District (owned). Page 8 take Richard Clapps replacement language for Professional Staff Categories section. Input on Evaluations Mark Vander Bloomen said he would like the Board to review the evaluation procedure because he felt we really need to have this done well if the Board is going to tie these to layoff recommendations. Scott Foster and Jackie Coghlan reported that our current teacher evaluation tool is in line with the Wisconsin state teacher standards. Jim Brewer indicated our teacher evaluation process and timing is similar to Waukeshas and he also did evaluations in a similar fashion, with informal evaluations as well as written evaluations. Matt Spets reported he developed an evaluation tool in collaboration with his teachers for Michigan and it gave different weight/percentages to different categories and it worked well. His evaluations were ongoing all year long. Page 8 table Performance Evaluation section and rewrite for next draft Page 9 (continued) table Performance Evaluation section and rewrite for next draft The rest of page 9 after evaluation section was ok Input on Reduction in Staff Mike Richie asked the Board for input on criteria for reduction in staff, noting he thought there should be more then three criteria. Mark Vander Bloomen suggested adding student achievement. Margo Smith suggested assigning weight/percentage to each category. Becky Boxrucker suggested adding time spent on activities self initiated and/or volunteering for the district. Gretchen Yagow said it made her nervous tying test scores to performance and that you cant use the beginning of the year test scores because that shows what the previous years teacher taught the student. Yagow said there are classrooms that have a high population of special needs so the Board would need to define the construction level and ability levels of the classroom. Mike Richie said we could look at adding a student growth component. Also could add professionalism as far as how do they treat students and parents, etc. Richie said we could also look at the evaluation tool for further input. Matt Spets noted that adding professional duties, which included student relationships, would be good and you could observe and record that all year long for the evaluation. Gretchen Yagow mentioned the standards based report card rubrics were developed by teachers and administrative staff and had measurable items in them. Mark Vander Bloomen asked could it be a blind status report to the board. Jim Mulleady said we are a small district and we would still know who the person is just by their position and qualifications. Mike said if other people have ideas send an email to him, we have to have things in place that we can measure. Jim Mulleady would like a tool to measure student growth. Page 10 table Reduction in Staff, develop Administrative Guideline, possibly adding into the criteria Student Growth and Professionalism. Input on Termination and Resignation Mike Richie noted that our past penalty for late teacher resignations was $200. When a teacher resigns late (within 60 days window of first school day) it imposes a hardship on the district due to the pool of candidates being less at that time (most of the great teachers are hired in the spring) and also the loss of time spent by the administration and interview committee to interview, which takes time away from planning for the next school year. Mark Vander Bloomen asked that we look at what other districts are doing and put in draft, formulate the penalty and bring back to the Board in next draft. Page 10 and 11 Termination and Resignation rewrite section for next draft Jim Mulleady indicated we should closely monitor both Social media and use of electronic devices as information on those areas is constantly changing. The Board decided to do another Employment Handbook work session on July 18th from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. just prior to the regular board business beginning at 6:00 p.m. on that date. The Board also chose August 1st as the next potential work session date on the handbook, with the time to be determined following the July 18th work session. Adjournment MOTION by Mike Jovanovic that the Board adjourns. Second by Mike Sealander. Voice vote 7-0. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 8:07 p.m. 1514

With the help of the firefighters and emergency medical technicians, plus donations from a number of summer residents, we were able to raise a net of $6,137, said OConnell. We hope we can do as well or better this year. OConnell said that the nine-hole tournament will be held as a best-ball scramble. OConnell emphasized that golfers can make up their own foursomes. Trophies, which have been given by an anonymous donor, will be presented to the winning team, as well as trophies for mens and womens longest drive and closest to the pin. The cost to participate in the tournament will be $25, all of which will be donated to the Phelps Fire Department and the Phelps Ambulance Service, plus cost of the greens fee. The tournament is named in memory of the late Kep Vorhees who was, for 46 years, an active member of Big Sand Lake Club. Vorhees is remembered for the many hours he spent caring for and improving the Big Sand Lake Golf Course. Big Sand Lake Club is one of the oldest resorts in America. It

was founded on Sand Lake in 1891 and this year is celebrating its 121st year of operation. We, the members of the club, cannot think of a better way to express our thanks to our volunteer firefighters and EMTs, said OConnell, Every day of the year, they are on 24hour alert to provide vital emergency service to all of us in our area of the North Woods. We urge all of our neighbors, especially our many, many summer residents, to join us Sunday, Aug. 14. At the conclusion of the golf tournament, all participants are welcome to an outdoor barbecue luncheon at Big Sand Lake Club. Recalling last years tournament, Phelps Fire Chief Steve Waier said, The golf tournament itself was a really fun event for all of us. The luncheon that followed was an extra surprise. The clubs master chef, Tom McHugh, and his staff went beyond the call. OConnell said Big Sand Lake Club will distribute tournament posters to all the Phelps business outlets. Those who wish to join us for a great round of golf and luncheon can sign up wherever posters are displayed or they can stop at Big Sand Lake Club, located at 4571 Big Sand Lake Club Road in Phelps, to sign in with their name and handicap, said OConnell. Both Waier and Carole Selin, supervisor of the Phelps Ambulance Service, urged all firefighters and EMTs to participate and to invite their family and friends to join us.

tered in Iron River, Mich. The health fair will provide free medical health screenings, including blood-pressure checks, sugar checks, heel bone-density scans and oxygen checks and will distribute cholesterol chits that people can take to NorthStar Health Systems for follow-ups, said Grady.
