Kim Simac, president of the Northwoods Patriots and a leader of the Tea Party movement in Wisconsin, will face Lincoln County Board Chairman Robert Lussow in a Republican primary next Tuesday, July 19. The winner will challenge 12th District State Sen. Jim Holperin (D-Conover) in the recall election Aug. 16. There is no primary on the Democratic side. Thousands of people throughout the 12th Senate District signed recall petitions
against Holperin after he and 13 other state senators left Wisconsin in February to avoid voting on Gov. Scott Walkers budget repair bill that takes most collective bargaining rights away from public workers. Those signatures were reviewed by the Government Accountability Board, and the recall election was approved by the state panel last month. Simac, 57, of Eagle River, led the recall effort in the To PRIMARY, Pg. 8A

A 63-year-old St. Germain man was found dead in the Rainbow Flowage in the town of Newbold late Sunday afternoon, according to authorities. Larry Stecker, who apparently had gone fishing at the flowage and got separated from his boat, was found dead by rescue personnel in the water near a boat landing. The sheriffs department received a phone call at 4:05 p.m. from a concerned citizen regarding a small dog, wallet and cell phone located on the shore of the public boat landing off South Rainbow Drive and Stormy Landing Road in the town of Newbold. An Oneida County Sheriffs Department deputy and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources warden initially responded to the call in an attempt to locate the owner of the property. They eventually located an abandoned boat on the Rainbow Flowage that belonged to the same person as
identified in the wallets contents. A vehicle and trailer were then located at the Stormy Landing Road boat landing, also belonging to Stecker. The deputy made contact with family members and was informed that Stecker had left to go fishing on the Rainbow Flowage earlier in the day. According to the sheriffs department, witnesses at the boat landing stated they had seen the boat owner at the landing. The Oneida County dive team responded to the scene and a search of the water was initiated. A short time later, Steckers body was recovered from the water near the boat landing and was turned over to the Oneida County medical examiners office. The Oneida County Sheriffs Department and the Oneida County medical examiners office are conducting an investigation into the death.

Wisconsin has joined 48 other states which have laws on the books allowing properly trained individuals to carry concealed handguns in most places. Gov. Scott Walker signed the concealed carry measure during a ceremony in Wausau Friday. The new law, debated for more than a decade in the Wisconsin Legislature, authorizes individuals to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon after providing evidence of proper training and after undergoing a criminal background check. By signing concealed carry into law, we are making Wisconsin safer for all responsi-
ble, law-abiding citizens, said Walker. This legislation has been in the works for a long time I co-sponsored a similar bill when I was a member of the state Assembly. The proposal, which takes effect Nov. 1, joins other longsought measures that Republicans passed this year, including requiring photo identification from voters and making health savings accounts tax-exempt. The measure includes provisions requiring training and permits, which were sought by both Walker and Democrats. Some Republicans unsuccessfully pushed constituTo CARRY LAW, Pg. 6A

Artarama:
we have been able to reach out to many more artists across the country, and the response has been exciting. This years show will feature more new artists than ever before. In addition to the new artists, many Artarama favorites will return, including Rick Schuette with his pottery, Demetra Saloutos with her ironwork, Don Shunk with his detailed decoys and Monika Fairchild with her jewelry. Live jazz and R&B music by The Fine Line will set the mood throughout the afternoon as participants meander between artist displays, silent auctions and a special set of booths called Young at Art, which will feature exhibitors under the age of 18. These kids come from many backgrounds, which is reflected in the interesting art they create, said Hahn. We hope everyone will include a stroll through Young at Art during the day.

Vilas County Clean Sweep set July 15-16 and Aug. 5-6
Vilas County Solid Waste Committee Chairman Gene Ciszek recently announced the dates and times for the Vilas County Clean Sweep program, which allows residents to properly dispose of hazardous waste. To dispense with the hazardous material according to state and federal environmental regulations, area residents can take waste to the following locations at the designated times: Friday, July 15, from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday, July 16, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Lac du Flambeau Transfer Station on Highway H; and Friday, Aug. 5, from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 6, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Vilas County Fairgrounds on Highway 70 in Eagle River. Vilas County property owners can take old paint, batteries, household chemicals and fluorescent bulbs to the Clean Sweep. There are fees associated with most items, ranging from 50 cents per fluorescent bulb to $2.50 per pound for antifreeze. Vilas County contracts with Oneida County Solid Waste to provide licensed professionals to collect and transport the hazardous waste to the permanent facility in Woodboro. Items that are not categorized as hazardous waste will not be accepted and are the responsibility of the owner to dispose of properly. These include household trash and recyclables including all electronic devices, as well as unwanted and expired pharmaceuticals. Electronics and other recyclables may be taken to Veolia Environmental Services in Woodruff or Eagle Waste in Eagle River. Property owners may obtain a voucher from their town or city clerk for free disposal of electronic items. Expired pharmaceuticals may be dropped at the Eagle River Police Department for no charge. A complete list of hazardous waste items that will be accepted at the Clean Sweep is available at vilasrecycles.org. Property owners can call the Vilas County UW-Extension office at (715) 479-3648 before the dropoff for information about what is accepted. Last year, Vilas County property owners properly disposed of more than 6 tons of hazardous waste through the Clean Sweep. We very much appreciate citizen attention to this important process, said Ciszek. Their due diligence in disposing of waste properly keeps our land and water clean for all to enjoy.

The Three Lakes Town Board adopted a new section of an ordinance regarding minimum operation standards for businesses with liquor licenses at its meeting last week. The new section, Sec. 6-6(k), requires that if a business with a liquor license issued by the town does not operate for a minimum of 120 consecutive days or more per licensed term, such criteria will be grounds for revocation of the liquor license. The issue was briefly addressed at a prior meeting, where board members were given a copy of Minocquas ordinance regarding minimum operation standards for businesses with liquor licenses. At that time, board members opted to postpone adopting a minimum operations standards section of an ordinance for Three Lakes until the Minocqua ordinance could be read more thoroughly. Town Supervisor Jeff Bruss researched what other towns have done with the ordinance and brought his findings back to the town board meeting. He said Three Lakes wants to prevent business owners from maintaining liquor licenses if their business is not in current or consistent operation. The issue was that other business owners who intend to
maintain a running business may want the liquor license which is, in effect, inactive, because the business that holds it is not being operated. Bruss said a town is only allowed one liquor license for every 500 citizens. Consequently, liquor licenses are not available to any business that may want one. There are provisions in the new section of the ordinance in the event that a business is affected by a natural disaster. In such a case, the business owner will be given two years to rebuild an active business before their liquor license could be revoked. Town Supervisor Steve Garbowicz suggested letters be sent to businesses that are getting close to breaking the minimum operation standards. Police Chief Scott Lea also suggested that when businesses complete their application for liquor licenses, the owner should have to sign a statement verifying that they have been in operation for at least 120 consecutive days in the recent licensed term. Branham Road Scott Soder, chairman of the town Zoning Advisory Committee, gave a report on a recent Oneida County Land Records Committee meeting regarding Branham Road. Soder said four property owners have an interest in the
road, but the boundaries have not been determined because Oneida County has no clear record of the road length. Soder also said that clarification on the town boards previous motion regarding the road would be helpful. Town Chairman Don Sidlowski found and read a previous town board motion which recommended that Three Lakes strongly encourages Oneida County not to sell or quitclaim deed the land that the county wishes to convey, unless the conveyed property line is at a distance of 180 feet short of the north quarter line and not all the way to the north forty. Soder said the next meeting of the Oneida County Land Records Committee will be Aug. 9. Budget repair bill Sidlowski and Town Clerk Sue Harris gave an update on the state budget repair bill and how it will affect Three Lakes operations. Sidlowski said the state is in favor of consolidating smaller responsible units like the town of Three Lakes, which has a population under 25,000, when it comes to recycling programs. A responsible unit can be a municipality, county, tribe, solid waste management system or other unit of local government responsible for planning, operating and funding a recycling program. As of 2006, 1,064 indi-
vidual responsible units implement recycling programs in Wisconsin, according to the Department of Natural Resources. However, the chairman and clerk said they did the calculations and the benefits of consolidating, as well as the extra work for the clerk and the potential threat to the individual identity of Three Lakes as a town, was not worth being involved in this new program. The supervisors agreed. Consequently, Harris was directed to apply, as usual, for the standing recycling grant. The town receives about $15,000 annually from the $19 million program. Other business In other business, the board: heard an update from the clerk regarding the changes that are to take place with the new voter photo identification laws; adopted the name Few Acres Lane for a private road off Drury Lane, which led to a discussion of fire numbers and their fee; and paid the bills in the total amount of $126,062.

Did you know, your local Rotary Club helped fund construction of new rest rooms at Riverview Park in Eagle River this past spring, donating more than $10,000 toward the project? And last fall, the clubs donation of nearly $17,000 to Vision of Hope Ministries resulted in the construction of a solar-powered well in Berard, Haiti. Because the project included a three-step water purification system, the safe drinking water helped save lives in the midst of a cholera outbreak that killed thousands of people outside Berard last October. A few years ago, the Rotary Club raised more than $75,000 for the renovation of the Silver Lake beach house, plus provided many hours of labor for the project. And soon after, the club raised $50,000 to obtain a state grant for the renovation of the old Eagle River railroad depot. The downtown now has washroom facilities, and the depot serves as a trailhead for the Three Eagle Bike & Hike Trail. Just three years ago, the Rotary Club raised $25,000 to develop a park area south of the depot, featuring rest benches, bike racks, a drinking fountain, a four-sided clock and landscaping. Your local Rotary Club has helped raise more than $600 million for the Polio Plus campaign to eradicate polio on Earth. The task is not finished yet, but has been 99.8% successful. The club has participated in the Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) program for more than 30 years. We have hosted more than 50 students from almost 40 countries. Meanwhile, about 50 local students have enjoyed the same broadening experiences by living with families in other parts of the world. Rotary awards $1,000 in scholarship money to graduating seniors, makes numerous donations to area organizations on an annual basis and is always looking for new ways to invest time, talent and financial resources to make our community and world a safe and healthy place. In recent years, club members have raised $2,000 for the Bergenthal Challenge which supplies holiday turkey dinners for all clients of the Eagle River food pantry. Rotary has hosted at least two meals a year at the Kalmar Center. It was 50 years ago that Rotary led the fundraising campaign to start construction of the original Eagle River Memorial Hospital. And 48 years ago, the club helped start the Eagle River Snowmobile Derby. Our motto is Service Above Self. To keep Rotary working for the community, it needs you to attend the two fundraisers below. We welcome new members. We meet at noon on Mondays at Eagle River Inn. Call Club President Rick Donohoe at (715) 4791147.

Rotary Club helps with well project that has saved lives in Berard, Haiti
___________
BY KURT KRUEGER
NEWS-REVIEW PUBLISHER
___________
The Eagle River Rotary Club was a key partner in a well construction project that has saved lives in the Haitian community of Berard, club members were told last month. Greg Schuenke, president of Vision of Hope Ministries Inc. (VOHM), gave an update to the club on a 100-foot deep well and solar/battery powered water purification system thats been supplying fresh water to about 3,000 community residents since Oct. 12, 2010. Schuenke, of Eagle River, said the clubs donation of $16,920 was instrumental to the nearly $40,000 project, which includes 2,935 gallons of storage tanks, perimeter security and a guard house. There was a cholera epidemic confirmed in Haiti Oct. 21. The incidence of cholera was widespread, but it was very, very low in and around the village of Berard, he said. This low incidence was partially attributable to our water project delivering clean drinking water. It saved lives, and I thank the Eagle River Rotary Club for making this happen. While the Rotary Club spends most of its charitable monies on local projects, such as the renovation of the beach house at Silver Lake Beach and the Railroad Depot in Eagle River, the well project got the attention of the club at a time when Haiti was on a lot of peoples minds following a devastating earthquake in
January 2010. Club President Christine Caz said Rotary International is involved in humanitarian projects across the globe. With the help of local clubs such as ours, Rotary International has raised more than $600 million for the Polio Plus campaign to eradicate polio on Earth, she said. The task is not finished yet, but it has been 99.8% successful. Schuenke told the club that the well project in Haiti uses a dual filtration system to purify the water, with final treatment coming from ultraviolet irradiation. Eight solar panels and a battery system power the 12-volt submersible pump, which can pump 12 gallons per minute. He said the administrator of the project is a high school graduate who received a business administration degree before returning to his home community. Our next challenge, Phase Two, will be making the project self-sustaining, said Schuenke, who built 14 months of operating expenses into the initial startup costs. He said they distribute water three to four times a week, and that families typically take a two-day supply. He said other supporters of the well project include a large church from outside Wisconsin, which also donated about $17,000, along with individual donors and private corporations.
Antiquated equipment that broke down often didnt stop these Haitian workers from completing the 100-foot well.
Caz said one of the Eagle River Rotary Clubs latest local projects was providing $10,000 toward the construction of new rest rooms at Riverview Park. The joint project was accomplished with the help of the Eagle River Lions Club, the Jaycees and the Eagle River Revitalization Com-
mittee. She said the Eagle River Rotary Clubs largest fundraiser of the year, its Wine & Cheese Tasting Social, is scheduled Monday, July 18, at Eagle Waters Resort. Tickets are available at many local banks and other businesses.

After a slow start to the 2011 golf season due to a late spring, the Eagle River Municipal Golf Course is on the way to recovery. That was the message provided last week to the Golf Course Advisory Committee by course professional Brad Missling. The best way to look at it is we opened with three months of disaster, Missling said. Were down about $20,000 compared to last year. With an early course opening in April 2010 followed by nice weather in May, the course set records early in the season last year. This year, June appeared to be the turning point for the course. On June 1, I was pretty scared and we came through June better than I thought, Missling said. Our June sales of green fees, cart fees, and
range fees were $84,837 compared to $80,434 last June, so we are recovering. The first six days of July brought in $40,801 compared to $33,641 last July. We had a one-day record of 320 golfers on July 3. Data from daily play for June showed increases in both 18- and nine-hole play, with nine-hole play up considerably. Daily 18-hole play increased from 1,022 rounds last June to 1,271 in 2011. Daily nine-hole play increased from 364 rounds last year to 515 rounds this June. Committee member Chuck Bonson said the present economic conditions may contribute to the increase in ninehole play and show people still want to golf but are opting to play nine rather than 18 holes. Task force role The special task force formed to come up with ideas to increase golf course revenue brought a statement from Carol Hendricks on her idea
about the role of the committee, chaired by Alderman Jerry Burkett. Burkett had stated at the task forces last meeting that the role was to increase revenue through more play rather than get involved in personnel issues. I might make a comment: its not working in the direction I wanted it to and it has to be changed, Hendricks said. Its not a business of the city and were in limbo the way its set up. It has to get back to ways of running golf courses. Joe (Laux, city administrator) was supposed to be the chairman, not Jerry. Among Hendricks suggestions were to consider making Missling full-time for eight months and part-time for four months, having Margo RogersAnderson run golf instruction and the golf carts would be the responsibility of groundskeepers. Committee member Bill Lochte agreed with Hendricks on the task forces role

The Vilas County Forestry & Land Committee opened bids on 16 tax-foreclosed lands last week, but only accepted four of the proposals totalling $42,020. Two bids were received on a 1.21-acre property at 6313 Big Portage Lake Road in Land O Lakes one from Brian Karls for $22,000 and one from Raymond Fortman for $25,000. The parcel includes a small house and the county has $8,673 in upkeep expenses. While the parcel had an appraised value of $83,000 in 2010, committee members said they felt the appraisal was too high. They accepted the bid of Fortman. A 1-acre parcel in the town of Lincoln appraised at $12,000 was sold with a bid of $1,510 to Larry Greves. Forestry staff indicated the lot was unbuildable. A bid of $10,000 from Dennis Zeloski was accepted for a 0.38-acre parcel of land on Lynx Lake in the town of Washington. It had an appraised value of $2,500. The committee accepted a fourth bid of $5,510 from Beverly Callahan for Lot 10 in the Charlotte Lake subdivision. Last year, it was appraised at $18,000. All other bids for properties were rejected. This included nine bids from Jerry Bybee for the Mill Creek parcels in Land O Lakes ranging in size from 13 to 42 acres. County Forest Administrator Larry Stevens indicated these lands had been withdrawn from the Managed Forest Law and the county could be liable for removal costs and penalties, if any. Also rejected was a bid of $575 by Nelson Trust for two
lots in the Turtle Lake subdivision in the town of Winchester. The lots were appraised at $13,000 and the committee previously rejected bids of $100, $400 and $600. Persons interested in taxforeclosed properties the county offers for sale can obtain the information from the forestry office at 2112 Highway 45 N. in Eagle River or by calling (715) 479-5160. Project bids Maintaining natural forest openings are part of the management plans for the county forest and there about 17 acres of openings that need to be brushed out over the next two summers, according to Stevens. Bids were received from Field & Forest for $4,800 and from Northwoods Forestry for $6,994. The low bid was accepted. Stevens also said property lines between county land and adjacent private lands need to be established prior to developing timber sales. Bids for survey line marking were opened for three projects: Fire Lane North, Honeysuckle and Highway G-Sunken Lake. Eagle Landmark bid $1,880 for Fire Lane North, $940 for Honeysuckle, and $580 for Highway G-Sunken Lake. Maines Surveying bid $2,400 for Fire Lane North, $935 for Honeysuckle, and $935 for Highway G-Sunken Lake. The committee accepted the low bids on all three projects. Vandalism to the railings on a snowmobile bridge over Buckatabon Creek need to be repaired. County snowmobile trail coordinator Dale Mayo indicated quotes he received were $1,580 from Collins Excavating and $1,974 from LaFriske Contractors. The
committee approved the work for Collins Excavating. The county insurance has a $1,000 deductible and will cover the remainder of the repair cost. Other business Assistant County Forestry Administrator John Gagnon reported June timber sale receipts of $90,258, bringing the years total so far to $193,172. It was noted that helicopter application of herbicide on 168 acres of county forest will cost $11,437 and will be done in mid-July. The committee discussed an offer from American Tower to pay the county $100,000 for a perpetual easement over county land for its transmission tower in the town of Cloverland. Supervisors heard a report from Mark Busha, manager of the Highway G Landfill, that additional land on a different site will be needed in about 15 years to continue operation of the landfill. The committee also discussed a possible land trade/purchase and how the county might benefit. In other action items, the committee: accepted a draft county bike/pedestrian route and trail plan developed by the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission; permitted replacement logs at the Vilas County Museum in Sayner to come from the county forest if a logger can be found to volunteer to take them to the museum; approved installation of bleachers at the tennis courts on the Vilas County Fairgrounds in Eagle River; and approved an information box being placed at the county boat landing on Little Tamarack Flowage with staff to approve the location.

Antlerless tag numbers seem mighty high
EARS HAD to be ringing in offices of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) as news of this years antlerless deer-tag numbers was slowly leaked last week, because the talk in hunting circles here was mighty wild. For the record, the department is going to issue 4,000 antlerless tags in Unit 38 to kill its quota for that management area, which is 1,200 does and fawns. They also are going to issue a whopping 7,975 antlerless tags in Unit 36 and another 3,775 tags in Unit 37. Several people who called, emailed or hit me up on the street were forecasting a massive overharvest of does and fawns. They claim the department used its normal hunter success ratios and failed to take all factors into consideration. One hunter told me its not the antlerless tags alone that are the problem, but other circumstances the DNR missed. Among the fears are that after two seasons without doe tags and some venison in the freezer, hunter effort and harvest success rates will rise. Then theres the other antlerless tags that could get filled, like the separate doe tag that every archer gets with the purchase of a license good in every unit that has an antlerless quota here. As if thats not enough reason to be concerned about an overharvest, theres a new law in 2011 that gives every gun deer-license holder, ages 10 to 17, an antlerless tag. As part of this first-year program, those special youth tags can be used anywhere in the state even in the eight units with a zero antlerless quota (Units 34, 35 and 39 in this area).
In the Outdoors
By Kurt Krueger
The department might hope that those youth tags are used solely to provide opportunity for youngsters. But in reality, those tags end up in deer camp and may get used by a group that is looking to provide a certain amount of venison for each family. I dont think they took into consideration that Unit 36 is surrounded by three other units with zero antlerless tags, said a hunter from St. Germain. People are going to be coming here to hunt, where the tags are, even though the deer herd is still hurting. The bottom line, hunters say, is that the DNR is unwittingly organizing what could be a serious overharvest of antlerless deer this fall if hunters dont do something about it. If hunters trust that these antlerless tag numbers and this system of counting deer isnt flawed, then the deer herd is in trouble again, said another hunter. The scribblers gut feeling is that hunters have every reason to be concerned about killing too many antlerless deer. Take Unit 38, for instance. There will be 4,000 antlerless tags sold to both gun and archery hunters. Thousands more archers will get a separate antlerless tag that they could fill without affecting their buck tag. And that doesnt account
for all the kids ages 10 to 17 who can now get an antlerless tag with their gun license. How many antlerless tags is that? Is it 8,000? Is it 10,000? Is it 12,000? Seems to me that any success rate over 10% could result in the harvest of more than 1,200 does and fawns in that unit. A cynical person could conclude that the DNR is conspiring to achieve an accidental overkill in order to make sure deer numbers dont rise. And many people wouldnt be surprised if that were true, because the agency seems hellbent on never allowing deer numbers to get out of hand again. One things for sure, the DNR is not erring on the side of coming up short on its antlerless harvest quota. There is nothing remotely conservative about these numbers. It has to be difficult for Unit 36 hunters to comprehend going from a zero-antlerless tag hunt one year to having nearly 8,000 antlerless tags available the next year. Thats a night-and-day comparison, all in 12 months time. In fact, numbers that high send the message that theres a deer behind every tree shoot first and ask questions later. Hunters who experienced the if its brown, its down years, know how that statesponsored mentality affects the attitude of hunters. It wasnt too long ago that the DNR was threatening to slap Unit 36 hunters with an Earn-A-Buck regulation if they didnt shoot more antlerless deer. And then the department learned after that season that the herd had already been seriously culled the year before, and
The number of antlerless deer tags being issued for this fall has many hunters predicting a harvest thats far above projections. --STAFF PHOTO
their threats had just fueled an even greater overharvest. Im not talking about something that happened in decades past. The department put Unit 36 on the Earn-A-Buck watch list in 2007, urging hunters to shoot more antlerless deer or be faced with the most restrictive deer-hunting regulation in state history. That was just four years ago. Those are still bitter, stinging memories in the minds of hunters who watched the department miscount the herd and issue too many
antlerless tags. So its no wonder that hunters are extremely skeptical, if not a little cynical, of the agencys latest tag numbers. The DNR is right that the deer herd is growing, and that an antlerless harvest is the only way to keep the herd at or near goals (pitifully low goals, I might add, like 1.2 deer per 40 acres of deer range in Unit 38). But hunters are also right the 2011 tag numbers seem far too high when you take everything into consideration.

Walleyes:
tures helped boost survival in the ponds and led to surplus fish that were able to help fill quotas elsewhere. That hatchery stocked 1,125,000 fish, including providing a surplus of about 100,000 fish. In addition, the Thompson hatchery transferred about 40,000 fish offsite for additional rearing at cooperative ponds maintained by fishing clubs and will keep about 50,000 fish at the hatchery to be raised to large fingerling size.

There were some challenges, but the fish survived very well, and we were successful.

The ponds were the same and the same amount of fertilizer was added. Were still crunching the numbers from that experiment and it will take a couple

A week after a hard crash left his car badly damaged, John Kallas of Hurley was back in victory lane Saturday night at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes, holding off points leader Jordan Kurtti in a spirited battle in the WISSOTA AMSOIL Dirt Track Series (WADTS) Street Stocks feature. It was one of the highlights of another action-packed night on the high banks. Todd Brass of Argonne made a lastcorner pass on a green-whitecheckered finish to win the TNT Bombers main event. Meanwhile, Jerry Grasse of Phelps kept his winning streak going in the WADTS
Midwest Modifieds and Wausaus Bo Bennish won the TNT Stingers feature in his season debut. After dropping from first to third in point standings last week due to a wreck, Kallas plan was to get ahead of the trouble early in Saturdays WADTS Street feature. Starting in fifth, he charged to the inside on the start, made it three-wide going into turn one and by the time the field came back to the line, Kallas had passed pole sitter Jeff Mullins for the lead. Kallas built a full straightaway lead in the first four laps as the rest of the field tried to get by Mullins. By lap five, Leif Gunderson, last weeks runner up, and Kurtti had done just that.
Through a number of caution restarts, second-place Kurtti chose the inside line, challenging Kallas but unable to pass him. With five laps left, Kurtti mixed things up and tried the outside line on the final restart. The plan backfired as Nick Visser passed Kurtti for second. Kurtti got back by Visser, but ran out of time to catch Kallas, who scored his second win of the season at TNT. Kurtti, Visser, Ben Pitlik and Heidi Karshbaum rounded out the top five. The Bombers were back in form Saturday night with six cautions slowing the proceedings, forcing a green-whitecheckered finish with only seven of the 15 scheduled laps complete.
Brass closed in on leader John Johnson Sr. down the stretch, sticking his fender to the outside for the crossover move into turn three. Johnsons car pushed up the track coming off turn four, allowing Brass and Denny Tushoski to slip to the inside. It was a three-car drag race to the finish with Brass edging Tushoski and Johnson settling for third. Ron Reese and Mike Terry completed the top five. Racing will return next Saturday with WADTS Midwest Modifieds and Street Stocks along with TNTs Bombers and Stingers. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., with racing at 7:45 p.m. For more information, visit TNTSpeedway.com.
Dustin Miller of Rhinelander won his sixth straight Pure Stock feature at Eagle River Speedway Tuesday night. The defending track Pure Stock points champion went from winning by inches the week before to defeating his competition by a half a lap. The Pure Stock heat race was an exact repeat of last week. Miller got on the inside of Ron Reese of Eagle River on the final turn of the final lap to win the race by a bumper. Some among the crowd thought Miller waited for the final turn of the race to make his move in an effort to excite the fans. I didnt plan it that way, said Miller. I just waited for the right time to make my move. Other than Ty Springer of Eagle River, all the drivers who had won their respective features the previous week were defeated, including Jason Zdroik in the B-Mods, Jeff Klopstein Jr. in Street Stocks, and Jake Reiff in the Micro Sprints. Zdroik of Eagle River ran Brad Hartmans B-Mod car. Zdroik worked out some handling problems from the heat race to come from the back of the pack and challenge Jesse Aho of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the feature. Aho built a commanding lead, but three caution flags kept Zdroik in the hunt for his third consecutive B-Mod feature. Aho held on to get his first B-Mod feature win of the season. Zdroik took second, while Mike Truscott of Chippewa Falls took third in his first appearance at Eagle
River Speedway this season. Jared Cech of Rhinelander jumped out to a commanding lead in the Micro Sprints feature. The previous weeks winner, Reiff of Deerbrook, kept closing the gap from the eighth lap on. On the 15th and final lap, Cech held Reiff in check by less than 10 feet for the win. Cech and his Honda-powered Micro Sprint ran most of the race near 90 miles-per-hour. Mark Schueneman of Rhinelander made a memorable return to stock car racing. Schueneman started the Street Stocks feature in the back of the pack, but by the seventh lap of the 20-lap feature, he was riding the bumper of first-place Ben Pitlik of Eagle River. On the 13th lap, car problems forced Pitlik into the pits, helping Schueneman into the lead. Then, Schueneman began battling with Klopstein of Baraga, Mich., who had won the past two Street Stocks features. However, Klopstein lost control of his car on the white flag lap, giving Schueneman the win. Kevin Hartman of Conover took second and Jason Jenson of Eagle River took third. Stock car racing will return to Eagle River Speedway Tuesday night with hot laps beginning at 7 p.m. and racing to start at 7:30 p.m. On Tuesday, July 26, Eagle River Speedway will host the Hartman Well Drilling and Pumps B-Mod Shoot-out. On Tuesday, Aug. 9, Auto Value will have the Open Mod Special at the speedway.

St. Germain Golf Club to host junior golf event
In conjunction with its Junior Golf Program, the St. Germain Golf Club will host a Junior Golf Fun Day Tuesday, July 26, at the 19th Hole Par 3 Golf Course at 10 a.m. The event is open to all youths ages 5 through 12. Ages 8 to 12 will play nine holes, while those 7 and younger will play four holes. After golf, a hot dog lunch will be served at Mulligans Snack Shack at St. Germain Golf Club. Following lunch, a putting clinic and contest will be hosted by golf pro Brian Baldwin of the Professional Golf Association and his staff. The cost for all ages will be $10 per player and will include golf, logo ball and lunch. Parent chaperones are needed and volunteers are welcome. To sign up to be a player or a volunteer, call St. Germain Golf Club at (715) 542-2614 and leave name, age and phone number. Pairings will be posted by Monday, July 25. Junior Fun Day was developed by St. Germain Golf Club to promote junior golf in the area, as well as offer a learning experience to all participants. As a youth, I had the opportunity to learn the game through free group lessons and personally realized what an impact golf can make in a young persons life, said Baldwin. Under my direction, St. Germain Golf Clubs Junior Program has offered free instruction to all participants since 1996. If we can get young people excited about the game and eager to learn at an early age, golf can be a game of a lifetime.

The program rules did not provide for many of these situations. Instead of being a temporary program, they have become a permanent way of life for too many. Social Security rolls are set to explode, as are the Medicare and Medicaid rosters. Forty-five million receive food stamps, and were told 50% of American workers do not pay federal income taxes. All the while, jobs for those people are becoming harder to find. * * * John Cogan, a professor at Stanford and a former deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Reagan administration, knows the facts about Social Security and Medicare. He tells us the programs are flawed but they can be fixed. For the rest of this decade, federal budgets will be in deficit by more than $1.5 trillion a year, if things continue as is. America is currently borrowing 45 cents of every dollar being spent. The current national debt ceiling talks are a small band-aid on a major bleeding injury. Heres some math from Cogan.

Our View
It will take patience, flexibility to get ATV routes thru Vilas
It was one month ago that some supervisors sitting on the Vilas County Forestry & Land Committee said town leaders should decide if they want all-terrain vehicle (ATV) routes on their town roads, instead of the county taking the lead on an overall route system. What those county supervisors seem to be saying is that the heart of any route system will be town roads, not county highways and, therefore, the planning needs to start on the town level. But they didnt close the door on county cooperation, noting that the towns could later come to the county if they need or want to connect with the county highway system in some way. We agree. It just makes sense to us that if there is ever a widespread ATV route system that utilizes public roads to move these machines through the county and onto areas with trail systems, the bulk of it will occur on low-speed, lowvolume town roads as opposed to busy, highspeed county highways. As weve written before, the Landover ATV Club needs to figure out a route system that minimizes the use of county highways. The clubs initial plans called for using more than 12 miles of county highways as routes, which we believe to be unacceptable. Traffic on county highways is moving too fast compared to routes that will carry ATVs at 25 to 30 mph. One reason town boards should decide the fate of ATV routes is that its members have their fingers on the pulse of the community. They are best suited on the local level to know how property owners and motorists will be impacted. Advocates of ATV routes need to realize that not everyone is against them even people who question certain aspects of the plan. As they say, the devil is in the details. Most people need details before they can support new things. Stereotyping those who might oppose portions of the plan as anti-ATV will be, in the long run, counterproductive to their overall route plan. We suggest that ATV groups get their issues worked out first on the town level, because theyre going to need a strong town recommendation to win over the county board on the use of county lands or highways. That 2004 referendum vote still weighs heavily on the minds of county board members. And one more thing: we are not going to endorse the use of county highways as ATV routes. Some stretches of county highway right of way might be appropriate for a link trail between town roads, especially in forested or low-density residential areas. But we wont advocate running ATV trails past lakes or other areas of high environmental sensitivity. We support trying to figure out some solution to the ATV issue in Vilas County. But clubs need to be flexible, because someday they might get a chance to develop a system with limitations. As an example, would they support a network of town road routes and county right-of-way trails that is closed during the peak of summer, say in July and August? ATVs are a touchy subject here. Ignoring that will hurt the chance of developing routes.

Picture this
EVERY ONCE in a while, a newspaper or another publication of some kind will ask me for a picture of myself. I can never find one I want to send them. Why dont pictures of us ever look the way we think of ourselves as looking? Occasionally, someone will take a picture of me thats flattering, but even that doesnt look the way I think I look when I leave the mirror in the morning after shaving and combing my hair. Just about every picture Ive ever had taken of myself looks the way I look for about one instant every six months, but not at all the way I look all day long on most days of my life. I dont want my picture to fool anyone by making me look handsome; I just want it to look like plain, old, everyday Andy Rooney. It never does. This is as true with carefully posed group pictures as it is with casual snapshots taken when I wasnt even aware there was someone with a camera around. In another 100 years, some great-great-grandchild of mine is going to find a picture of me in a box of old junk and say, So thats what he looked like! No, great-great-grandchild, thats not what I looked like. That just happens to be the weird look I had on my face when the photographer snapped that picture. I never looked that way before that instant, and I never looked that way again in my whole life. Once in a while, I get out my old high school or college yearbook. Theres one picture of me on the swim team that makes me look young, muscular and handsome. When anyone else looks at it, they usually say, You were really good-looking in high school, werent you? I never tell them the truth, but the truth is, that picture didnt look any more like the way I really looked most of the time than the To ROONEY, Pg. 15A

last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the 60 miles I rode were double what I had put on for the entire riding season to that point. Thats all behind me now. When my scale told me last week I was within five pounds of being the heaviest Ive ever been, I decided it was time to quit being lazy. The thing is, once I finally get myself turning the pedals, I really enjoy riding. Who wouldnt, when you have some of the most beautiful scenery in the world to ride through in this north Wisconsin country of ours?

OP-ED/READER OPINION

boat landing and back, reminded me you dont have to go far in this neck of the woods to see some mighty fine country. The best part of that ride is the section along Ben Bendrick Drive, a very lightly used by motor vehicles town road that has you riding literally within 30 feet or so of South Trout Lake. I hit it absolutely perfectly, rolling along the road just as a setting sun was lending an absolutely gorgeous rose-colored hue to the nearly cloudless sky. As I passed through small openings between skyscraper white pines lining the shore, I could catch glimpses of kayakers lazily paddling across a placid lake which, on other days, can easily be whipped to a froth of 2-foot rollers with a stiff west wind. I didnt stop anywhere to take a longer look because I
was, after all, trying to sweat off 40 pounds on one ride, but I did ride the 2-mile stretch at a pretty slow pace, both going and coming back. Sunday I rode Highway K west from Highway M over to Star Lake and back. Tell me there is a more beautiful ride in all of Wisconsin and Ill eat my hat. Its a tough ride, at least for someone as out of shape as I am, but somehow the pain of climbing the hill past Bruce Wilsies old house at Aqualand, and then the long climbs past Stillwaters into the little village of Star Lake itself were eased considerably by the views of Lost Canoe, Little Star and Star lakes along the way. There will be other routes I ride the rest of this summer, many of them old favorites, and perhaps a new one or two. Among the must-rides will be a circle route on my mountain bike along Razorback Road to Rearing Pond Road, then across Old White Birch Road out to a quick jog on Highway K to Nebish Road,
down to North Muskellunge Road and back home. The ride, at about 16 miles, isnt that long, but with some soft sand stretches to truck through and a washboard ride on North Muskellunge Road hint, hint, whichever governmental body is responsible for maintenance it gives you an excellent workout. Not only that, but its a rare thing to see a motor vehicle once you turn off Razorback Road and quite common to see practically any kind of wild critter on a given trip, including a black bear nearly nose to nose as I did on a ride a few summers ago. Then there is the ride across North Creek Road up Boulder Junction way, most notable for what may be the steepest hill climb in Vilas County a little ways before you get to Edith Lake. Highway B, especially in September when the sugar maples form a miles-long corridor of blazing red, is one of my favorite rides. I usually start in Boulder Junction, ride up to B, head for Land O
Lakes until I get to Highway S, cut down to K, swing around Buckatabon lakes back to K, and then back through Star Lake to Boulder Junction. Its a long, tough ride for me, one I usually do just once a year but, man, is it a good one. Usually I try to get in a ride up in the Upper Peninsula each summer, sometimes more than one. South Boundary Road in the Porkies is a dandy, as is the road from Bessemer up to Lake Superior at Black River Harbor, although with the long, long climb back up from the lake being more than these old legs want to do, I usually let my wife ferry me back. Anyway, last weekend got me fired up. Whether my inherent laziness throws cold water on the flames before I lose the weight I need to lose actually, 15 pounds would be OK I dont know, but I can promise you Im going to give it my best shot. Who knows, maybe Ill get my 1,000 miles this year yet.

(todays dollars). They expect to get those dollars back during retirement. Note: The government has already spent that money. While they paid in $500,000, Cogan says the couple is entitled to receive $1 million in cash and health-care benefits over their expected lifetimes. That covers the $500,000 for Social Security and another $450,000 for Medicare benefits. Its a Ponzi scheme program that is being exposed. The government simply cant honor these promises without making changes. The changes needed are not easy, nor will they be popular.

Sophia Wentz, 10 Camper Milwaukee I like a lot of stuff. At night, I like going to the bonfires, making smores and hanging out with friends. My mom has breast cancer, so this time at Camp Angel is fun. Noah Witte, 11 Camper Altoona My grandmother has cancer, so this is a fun time away with other kids. Ive had a great time at Camp Angel swimming, tubing and making crafts. Clarissa Wentz, 11 Camper Milwaukee I like to make new friends who are also dealing with cancer in their families. I love tubing and playing on the rocket. Everything here is so much fun.
ones that made me look like a nerd. Its hard to say what it is that doesnt really look like us when we have our pictures taken, and its hard to say why we never look the same twice. Chances are Mona Lisa didnt recognize herself when Leonardo da Vinci showed her the portrait he painted with that enigmatic smile on her lips.

Hughes named honorary survivor for this years Relay For Life
___________

LIFESTYLE EDITOR
___________
Eunice Hughes of Land O Lakes has been named the honorary survivor for this years Northwoods Relay For Life in Eagle River. Hughes, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004, was nominated by her granddaughter, Lauren Hughes of Eagle River. When asked if she knew why she was chosen, she commented that there are not very many pancreatic cancer survivors. She shared that only 5% survive for more than five years. She said she felt that the letter submitted by her granddaughter was very inspirational and instrumental in her selection. Hughes, her husband, Dick, and their children made Land O Lakes their seasonal home in 1974, operating Dari-Maid. She would make the trip north from Waukesha each May. Her husband would follow when he completed his teaching duties
and the school year was done. The Hugheses made Land O Lakes their permanent home in 1990, when Dick Hughes retired from his teaching career. While the couple enjoy winters in the North Woods, by February or March they would be ready to head south. It was while they were camping in Gulf Shores, Ala., that her husband noticed that Hughes eyes seemed yellow. Beyond that, she had been a little queasy for a couple of weeks, but thought nothing of it. They called their son, Kent, who is a physician in Dallas, Texas. He immediately recommended she go to a hospital for tests. It was then that she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My first word was wow! and I felt like someone had hit me across the head with a two-by-four, was her reaction To SURVIVOR, Pg. 2B
Eunice Hughes was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004 and seven years later has been named the honorary survivor for the Northwoods Relay For Life. --Contributed Photo

Davis Lambeau leap to help Special Olympics
Jone Davis, a Class A volunteer and coach for Northern Access Special Olympics, will participate in a once-in-a-lifetime fundraising opportunity to rappel down the wall of the legendary Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wednesday, Aug. 3. I have truly enjoyed working with the athletes this year in snowshoeing and track. It is refreshing and inspiring to see them trying something new and smiling with them as they laugh and giggle down the track, said Davis. All proceeds from the event will benefit the 10,000 Special Olympics Wisconsin athletes. To make a contribution, contact Davis at (715) 8912199 or visit specialolympics wisconsin.org to contribute online. Cash donations for Davis can be sent to 2655 Whiskey

Friedel-Hunt:
beneath those trees. It was like being in a gigantic forest though there were probably not more than 100 trees in the cluster. How sad I was when they were cut down so a bank could be built. Trees inspire, provide shade, beauty, fruit and wood. In 1987, Bill and I planted 1,500 pine trees on the land we then owned. Those trees are now more than 20 feet tall. Find a tree, sit beneath it, feel its sap running if you can. Hug it, write a poem about it, take a child to see it and tell them how the roots of a tree reflect the height and width of the tree and how trees sustain us with their beauty and products. What a gift you will give that child, a gift of life for life. Why not help him or her plant a tree?
FROM PAGE 1B
One day as I drove past our old home, I felt tears rolling down my face when I saw that the new owner had cut down the amazing pine trees that were in the yard. I learned later that he wanted more grass. How very sad. I watched one of those grow from 5 feet tall to well over 30 feet tall. It was lovely. Grass we can live without, but we must have trees. Columns are written by fools like me, but only God can make a tree. Excuse me, Joyce Kilmer. Mary Friedel-Hunt, MA LCSW, is a freelance writer and psychotherapist in the Madison area.

Student Representative Report to the Board Taylor Krings reported: Yearbook just came out Robotics team won 3rd place Taylor Krings, Student representative, will begin having a meeting during resource so students can come and give her suggestions on items of interest to them Memory Project Beverly Niehaus, Middle School Art teacher, reported that Ben Schumacher, a resident of St. Germain, had an idea for a service learning project. Schumachers idea was that high school and college level art students would receive pictures of children living in orphanages around the world and the students would then draw a portrait of the child from the picture, sign it, and send it back to the child. That way these children would have a keepsake from their childhood, since most of them have nothing of their own. Since Schumacher began the program back in 2004, there have been 25,000 children in orphanages around the world who have received portraits of themselves drawn by high school or college level student artists. The website for this is www.thememoryproject.org Northland Pines was asked to do five portraits and one of our Seniors, Caitlyn Hook, did all five of them. The orphans that Caitlyn was drawing portraits of were all from Peru. They sent her their picture and Caitlyn is working on the portraits of these children; she will sign the back of the portrait as the artist and the portraits will be sent back to the orphanage to be given to these children. Caitlyn has almost completed the five portraits; she passed them around for board members to see and they were fantastic drawings of the children. The Board of Education commended both Bev Niehaus and Caitlyn Hook for participating in this extremely kind service learning project. German Trip Frau Christina Peters, German Teacher, and Dave Strong (Chaperone for the trip) showed the Board a short picture slideshow of their trip to Germany. Four of the students who went on the trip were also in attendance and thanked the Board for the trip of a lifetime. Christina Peters commended all of the students who went on the trip, noting that their behavior during the entire trip was exemplary and they ended up being the leaders of the trip as many other students from other districts were on the trip as well. Peters said NPSD students immersed themselves in the culture, used their German language fluently, and positively guided students from other districts on the trip. The Northland Pines German trip students represented themselves, our school and community extremely well and they set a high standard for future students going on this fabulous trip.

The 14th annual Picnic in the Park, a chicken and rib barbecue sponsored by Northwoods Living Care Foundation (NLCF) for the benefit of the town of Phelps volunteer ambulance service, will be held Tuesday, Aug. 9, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Wavering Park in Phelps. The previous 13 events have generated $128,733 for the ambulance and team of volunteer emergency medical technicians (EMTs), according to Cathy Grady, president of the NLCF. We hope the folks in our area will join us again to help us make certain our ambulance service has available the funds needed to provide this vital emergency help, said Grady. Approximately a year ago, we had to buy a new ambulance at a cost of $130,727. Of that amount, the town of Phelps paid $80,000 and the Northwoods Living Care Foundation, by reason of the monies raised from our annual Picnic in the Park, was able to contribute $50,727 toward the total cost of our new ambulance. In 2002, the town purchased a new ambulance for $96,205 and, of that total, the fundraising event was able to contribute $45,053 bringing NLCFs contributions toward the purchases of the last two ambulances to $95,780. You can readily see how important Picnic in the Park is to continually provide top-quality emergency service to our area residents, said Grady. Tickets to the event, if purchased in advance, are $15 for adults and $6 for children 10 and younger. Tickets purchased at Wavering Park on the day of the event are $17 for adults and $7 for children. Tickets to Picnic in the Park can be purchased in Phelps at First National Bank, Phelps Convenience Center, Village Barber Shop, Sand Lake Pub, the Big Sand Lake Club and from all emergency medical technicians. Once again, Barry Mohr, owner of Phelps Convenience Center, will donate to the ambulance fund $5 for every ticket purchased at the Convenience Center. Carole Selin, director of the Phelps emergency medical technicians since 2004, said the picnic is the ambulance services biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. We hope the folks in our area, including our summer residents who have homes on Sand Lake, Long Lake and Big Twin Lake and anywhere else in the North Woods, will join us again to make Picnic in the Park another successful fundraiser, said Selin.

In addition to Selin, 13 other residents are volunteer EMTs. They include Geraldine Arlt, Laurinda Boone, Anthony Campion, Brian Galek, Dawn Grmick, Kathy Regenfuss, Damian Seals, Jesica Volkmann, Jeanne Brown, Norman Mesun, Laura Myszka, Michael Myszka and Christine Riihimaki. We are especially proud of all of our volunteers, said Selin. Twelve months a year, 24 hours a day, they are ready to respond to a call for help. Last year, our EMTs responded to 198 calls for an ambulance. For each of the last 13 years, Picnic in the Park has served more than 650 chicken and rib dinners, according to Grady. We like to think we serve the best barbecued chicken and rib dinner in the North Woods, a lot of which is due to our major benefactor, Greg Cousins of Smoky Lake and his group of volunteer chefs who include Chip Shotwell, Jeff Kinner, Don VanderBlomen, Andy Regenfuss, Charles and Lester Frankenthal and Frank Volkmann, said Grady. Greg not only supplies all of the chicken and ribs, but he also prepares all of the barbecue sauce in his own kitchen at Smoky Lake. Grady said the picnic is truly a community event.
The whole area participates, she said. The womens clubs of Phelps Congregational Church, St. Marys Catholic Church, St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church and Twin Lakes Bible Church, along with the Phelps Womens Club, American Legion Auxiliary and Big Sand Lake Club, all pitch in to donate and serve the desserts and fruit that are part of our menu. The Picnic in the Park is considered by many to be the social highlight of the summer in Phelps, said Grady. From the beginning, we have made every effort to make this an all-family affair, one that the kids can enjoy, she said. This year, we will once again have Reba Mabie of Boulder Junction to perform as Tutu Cute the Clown. Reba entertains the kids with her face painting and special balloon creations. In addition, Great Lakes Climbing will offer for the children a bungee jumper, a climbing wall, an obstacle course and other fun games. The event also will conduct a raffle. The raffle offers six cash prizes of $500 and one cash prize of $250. Raffle tickets are available for $2 per ticket or three for $5 and can be purchased at all Phelps business establishments and from all EMTs.

LIBRARY PROGRAM Land O Lakes Public Library recently featured Peter the Mime as part of its summer childrens program. In addition to
his performance, he helped children make masks out of paper plates. --Photo By Jill James
Land O Lakes Public Library, with the support of Conserve School, will present a juggling extravaganza by Truly Remarkable Loon, called Read Books and Juggle Everything Else Wednesday, July 20, at 10 a.m. at the library. Fifty-four-year-old T.R. Loon was raised in Madison. He changed his name to Truly Remarkable Loon when no one could pronounce his German name. I havent had a real job since the 1980s, Loon said. He took on juggling in
1976, when he saw a juggler tossing flaming torches in the air. He remembers saying to himself, I will learn how to do that, and three months later, he juggled flaming torches for the first time. Jack Mozenter will lead a basic investment program Tuesday, July 19, at 1 p.m. at the library. For more information, call (715) 547-6006 or stop by the library to pick up a brochure listing all summer programs.
