North Woods property values declined for the third straight year in Vilas and Oneida counties and ranked lower than the statewide average, state officials said. Figures based on actual sales in 2010 show property values dropped nearly 2.8% in Vilas and 5% in Oneida, a reflection of recessionary times. The report, released Monday, showed the statewide average decline was 1.8%. The property tax base in
Forest County increased slightly at .4%, the 11th ranked county out of the 72 counties. Pepin County ranked first with a 3% increase in values, and Polk County was last with a 7% decrease. Vilas County came in ranked 59th, while Oneida County ranked near the bottom at 70th. Two years ago, the North Woods marked the first decline in equalized property values since 1992. Last year, based on actual sales in 2009, values dropped 2.9% in Vilas, 3.4% in Oneida and 1.3% in Forest.
Though the economic-based declines continued in Wisconsin in 2010, the residential property value was on par with the national average drop in home values of 1.6%, according to Stephanie Marquis of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR). The 1.6% reduction in residential value matches the estimated national average decline in home prices between the fourth quarters of 2009 and 2010 as reported by the Federal Housing Finance Authority, said a DOR press statement. The latest Wisconsin report
shows construction activity continues despite the recession. The state added $3.8 billion in new construction in 2010, including $2.3 billion in residential property and $1.2 billion in commercial property. The DOR report indicates that commercial property values fell by 2.2%, from $91 billion to $89 billion, and that the value of recreational and waterfront properties in many communities dropped slightly. Agricultural property saw a decline of 3.4% from a year To VALUES, Pg. 2A

The Eagle River Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center, along with Musky Clubs Alliance of Wisconsin, will bring the 26th annual National Championship Musky Open to 72 area lakes this Friday through Sunday. In 2010, more than 1,000 men, women and children
gathered to fish in the tournament and had an opportunity to win thousands of dollars in prizes, according to Kim Emerson, events coordinator for the chamber. We have preregistered nearly 730 anglers, and we expect another 350 to 400 to enter this weekend, said Emerson. Well be very close to 1,100 muskie anglers on the water this weekend. The on-site entry fee is
$55 per person. Anglers can register at the Vilas County Fairgrounds this Thursday night from 5 to 9 p.m., or Friday from 6 to 6:30 a.m. or 5 to 8 p.m. One final registration is set for 6 to 6:30 a.m. Saturday. The National Championship Musky Open is a total catch-and-release tournament, with families encouraged to participate, according to Emerson. All tournament activities will
be at the fairgrounds. The tournament is so popular because it is a family-oriented event, said Emerson. Professionals, amateurs and first-time muskie anglers all fish in the tournament. Everyone who enters will get a chance to win a $20,000 Ranger boat powered by a 115-horsepower Mercury engine, whether they catch a muskie or not. Hundreds of other prizes
also will be awarded. Emerson said a new feature of the tournament will be aquatic invasive species law education, as well as free boat washing at the Vilas County Fairgrounds (see related story).

In anticipation of a citizens forum Monday, Aug. 29, regarding proposed all-terrain vehicle (ATV) routes in Phelps, the town board has held a number of workshops to come up with a draft ordinance. The citizens forum, which will take place at the Phelps School small gymnasium at 7 p.m., will give Phelps residents and property owners an opportunity to speak out for or against the proposed ordinance allowing ATV usage on town roads. Weve had four or five workshops where the board met, said Phelps Town Chairman Colin Snook. Weve also formed a committee of a couple of people that are for ATV routes and a couple of people that are against ATV routes. The committee was formed, said Snook, in order to look at the ATV routes proposed by the Landover ATV Club and determine whether or not the town should use those roads as designated routes. We went through road by road and analyzed it, and also looked at how those roads connect to county roads, said Snook, who added that Phelps also would need Vilas County approval to create ATV routes. Procedures to add or delete roads from the proposed route system have been included in the drafted ordinance. At the public forum, I will To ATVs, Pg. 4A

Lynne, Piehl, Pine Lake, Schoepke, Stella and Sugar Camp. Leading the declines in equalized valuation were the city of Eagle River (-8.8%), Cloverland (-7.4%) and Arbor Vitae (-4.5%) in Vilas County, and the towns of Minocqua (10.5%), Woodboro (-9.5%) and Hazelhurst (-74%) in Oneida County. Most other municipalities in the two counties were near the state average. Equalized values dropped 2.1% in the town of Three Lakes, while the towns of Lincoln and Washington were identical with a decrease of 1.2% Marquis said the large drop in Minocqua was due to a big dip in the residential sales category, falling $138 million. There was basically a decline in sales in the Minocqua area, she said. In Vilas as a whole, residential values dropped $187 million despite the addition of
$32 million in new construction. In Oneida, residential values dropped $306 million despite new construction that totaled $33 million. In Forest County, where the equalized value increased slightly, residential property values increased by $21 million, including $7.6 million in new construction. Taxes not affected The total property taxes paid in Wisconsin are not affected by changes in equalized values, reminded Marquis. Equalized values are calculated annually to ensure statewide fairness and equity in property tax distribution, she said. An equalized value represents an estimate of a taxation districts total taxable value, and provides for the fair apportionment of taxation district levies, including school districts and counties, to each municipality. Marquis said the only way overall taxes can rise is when local units of government increase their tax levies. Ultimately, changes in equalized values result in a redistribution of the tax burden in a town or city after the local assessor completes a revaluation that reflects changes between property types.

Vilas County Sheriff Frank Tomlanovich has announced that no disciplinary action would be taken against a 121/2year officer who shot his 20year-old niece last month as a result of a prank. Deputy Ty Peterson, who unintentionally shot the family member at approximately 9:14 p.m. July 25, also will not face state charges. The investigation showed that Peterson thought he was being threatened by a cougar, which was seen in his yard earlier in the day, and he shot the woman as a result of the prank. Based upon the information developed through the course of the internal investigation and the investigation conducted by the Oneida County Sheriffs Office, it has been determined that, at the time of the shooting, it was Deputy Petersons belief that he was about to be attacked by a potentially deadly wild animal, and that he believed he was faced with the threat of imminent death or great bodily harm, wrote Tomlanovich in a press release. Tomlanovich said that considering the totality of the circumstances, the use of deadly force was justified. Deputy Peterson acted in accordance with his training and did so in compliance with
the policies and procedures of the Vilas County Sheriffs Office, wrote Tomlanovich. Therefore, the internal investigation is closed. No disciplinary action will be taken against Deputy Peterson and he will be returned to duty. The niece, who was shot in the hand and shoulder, apparently hid in the woods and played a YouTube clip of cougar sounds while Peterson was taking his garbage out in the town of Arbor Vitae that evening. The niece was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound that was nonlife-threatening, authorities said. Peterson told investigators he brought his weapon with him to take the garbage down the driveway because he felt uneasy about the animals presence. His mother, who lives in an adjacent residence, had seen what she thought was a cougar earlier in the day and Peterson said he saw a cougar in his yard earlier that night. After he fired a shot and heard a woman screaming, he told investigators he was convinced the cougar was attacking another person. Peterson submitted to a breath test which showed he had no alcohol in his system. The niece stated she did not want to press charges against Peterson and said the entire incident was her fault.

NR 115 adoption delayed two years

___________
BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH
NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR
___________
A North Woods lawmaker said the Natural Resources Board 7-0 vote last week to delay for two years the implementation of new regulations affecting development along Wisconsin lakes and rivers will give legislators time to make modifications to the controversial rules known as NR 115. The rules were the biggest rewrite of waterfront zoning regulations in four decades when they were approved in 2010 and were set to go into effect Feb. 1, 2012. While the rules were advanced by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to control development near lakes, rivers and streams, State Rep. Dan Meyer (REagle River) said a recent Minocqua hearing proved that many citizens dont understand the changes. I was talking with a state attorney who was there and he said he didnt feel that people were accurate with their understanding of the regulations, said Meyer. When approved last year, the shoreland code update was characterized by DNR leaders as one that would increase flexibility for property
owners to manage their land while improving environmental protections for lakes and streams. The NR 115 is a revision of shoreland protection rules which have been in place since 1966, but which have gradually become outdated in several respects. The rule retains many familiar shoreland requirements, like the 75-foot setback, but also adds some new ones like limiting impervious surfaces to reduce runoff. After much debate, the compromise originally passed the Natural Resources Board, boosted by broad support from the Wisconsin Association of Lakes and state associations representing builders and real estate brokers. But under the Walker administration, the DNR asked the board to delay the deadline to Feb. 1, 2014, for counties to write and adopt zoning rules near shorelines. DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp said the new rules have been one of the most contentious issues she has faced since taking over the agency in January. Meyer said county code administrators, who will have to implement the rules, are having trouble implementing the regulations. The delay will give coun-
ties time to understand what is going on, said Meyer. Some counties dont have the time or money to adopt the revisions. Delaying the rules is likely to win support from some lawmakers and property-rights advocates, especially those in the lake country of northern Wisconsin. The proposal closely mirrored regulations Vilas County has had for a decade, including a maximum 30% cap on impervious surfaces. Any lakefront property with more than 15% impervious surface wouldnt qualify for a building permit without mitigation.
VILAS COUNTY
In contrast, Oneida County officials who virtually gutted their shoreland zoning ordinance in recent years would be faced with major revisions to meet the new standards.

Forest Service taking bids on Ninemile timber harvest

Officials with the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest have announced it is taking bids for a timber harvest on approximately 100 acres just east of Eagle River in Forest County. The Forest Service will receive sealed bids for the Ninemile Creek Pine Sale at Eagle River Ranger District, located at 1247 E. Wall St., Eagle River, at 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12. The timber harvest is part of the larger Polecat Pine decision signed Jan. 10, 2008, according to Forest Service forester Dave Bathel.
The Ninemile Creek Pine Sale includes an estimated volume of 318 hundred cubic feet (CCF) of pine sawtimber, 80 CCF of aspen pulpwood, 8 CCF of mixed hardwood pulpwood and 425 CCF of pine pulpwood marked or otherwise designated for cutting. Bathel said it is the fifth sale out of the Polecat Pines decision. A prospectus, bid form and complete information concerning the timber, the conditions of sale and submission of bids is available to the public from Forest Service offices in Eagle River and Florence.
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) prevention will be a priority concern at the upcoming 26th annual National Championship Musky Open Aug.1921, according to one AIS coordinator. The catch-and-release tournament, co-sponsored by the Musky Clubs Alliance of Wisconsin and Eagle River Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center, attracts 1,100 participants to 72 lakes, the majority of which are in Vilas and Oneida counties with the balance in Forest County. The concept of multi-agency partnering to stop the spread of invasive species will be evident at the tournament this year, according to Ted Ritter, Vilas County invasive species coordinator. He said two boatwashing devices will be available for tournament participants. Ian Shackleford of the Ottawa National Forest will arrange for a self-contained, high-pressure portable washing station to be at the Vilas County Fairgrounds prior to the start of the tournament, when participants attend registration and rules meetings Thursday afternoon and evening, and again Sunday morning and afternoon at the end of the event.

Additionally, Melissa Simpson of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest will arrange for another washing station to be at Kentuck Lake during the tournament. Boat washing will be performed by trained operators free of charge to tournament participants. New Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) AIS signs have been placed at boat landings throughout the state during the past year, according to Ritter. The signs emphasize that state law now requires all
boats and trailers be clean before launching and before departing from a boat landing and that penalties for noncompliance may exceed $2,000, said Ritter. Tournament participants will be reminded of the law by a DNR warden and advised that enforcement is now occurring. Boat landing watercraft inspectors also will be at many of the tournament lakes. Vilas and Oneida counties work closely with U.S. Forest Service offices to share resources through the Wisconsin Headwaters Invasives Part-
nership (WHIP). The generous donation of boat-washing equipment and operating personnel for this tournament is much appreciated not only by WHIP partners, but also by the tournament cosponsors, said Ritter. More information about invasive species initiatives in Vilas and Oneida counties can be obtained from Ritter of the Vilas County Land and Water Conservation Department at (715) 479-3738 or Jean Hansen of the Oneida County Land and Water Conservation Department at (715) 369-7835.
Musky Open: anglers to hit seven lake families

FROM PAGE 1A
come, first-served basis, according to Emerson. With seven lake families, it really spreads the anglers out, she said. The lake families include: Eagle River Chain of Lakes, Three Lakes Chain of Lakes, Big Lakes family near Phelps and Conover, Western family near St. Germain, Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes, Eastern family including lakes near Eagle River, and Northern family west of Land O Lakes. The Big Lakes family, including North Twin and Lac Vieux Desert, generally attracts the most anglers, followed by the Eagle River Chain, according to Emerson. There is still plenty of room in all the lake families, she said. Fishing hours There will be angler briefings at 6, 7:30 and 9 p.m. Thursday; 6:30 a.m., 6, 7 and 8 p.m. Friday; and 6:30 a.m. Saturday. All anglers must attend one briefing, according to Emerson. A muskie fishing seminar is planned at 6 p.m. Thursday. Fishing will be allowed from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday (optional); 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; and 6 to 11 a.m. Sunday. All fish verification slips must be registered with the chamber of commerce by noon Sunday at the fairgrounds. Door prizes will be awarded at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, at which time winners must be present. There will be more door prizes, the awards ceremony and the grand-prize drawing at 1 p.m. Sunday. Steve Heiting of Muskie Hunter magazine will be the tournament emcee. He will offer insight on tournament rules, as well as fish tales from the anglers. Trophies will be awarded to the top six anglers based on total points, the anglers catching the largest fish on each lake family, the top husband-andwife team, the top youth angler and the guardian and youth trophy. A registered adult and child, age 6 to 15, can enter to win this category by catching the most fish, in inches, said Emerson. The winners of this category will win a trophy for their efforts. In 2010, there were 60 youth anglers and 63 husband-andwife teams. Last year, the 1,078 anglers registered a record 145 legal muskies, with 501/4 inches being the biggest. It was caught by Ron Naples of Manhattan, Ill., on Lac Vieux Desert. Last years overall winner was Mike Bruggink of Tomahawk. He caught three legal muskies measuring 401/2, 43 and 44 inches. The angler releasing the largest fish in this years tournament will receive a free graphite reproduction by Joe Fittante Taxidermy in Antigo. An additional event will be the Help Fight Hunger program. Everyone bringing a nonperishable food item will get a chance to win a Shimano muskie reel, said Emerson. For each food item you donate, you will receive one chance in the Help Fight Hunger drawing. Last year, more than 2,600 pounds of food were donated to the pantry. In addition, any prior angler of the Musky Open who gets a new angler to enter the 2011 tournament can enter their name in a special drawing for a Shimano muskie rod and reel. For more information on the tournament, contact the chamber at (715) 479-6400.

ATVs:
start by presenting background information to the public regarding the creation of the ordinance and the ordinance itself, said Snook. Then a representative in favor of ATV use on town roads will get 10 minutes to speak. When they are done speaking, a representative against the use of ATV use on town roads will have 10 minutes to speak. After the representatives have spoken, the audience will be given the opportunity to make statements and ask questions, according to Snook. Each person making a statement will need to state their name and address, and will be limited to two minutes so as many people as possible have an opportunity to speak, he said. Phelps residents and landowners also will be given a survey, which they will have roughly two weeks to fill out and return. The survey asks Phelps residents and property owners whether they favor ATV routes and offers an open space for suggestions.
FROM PAGE 1A
Only citizens and property owners in Phelps who fill out the survey with their full name and address will be recognized, said Snook. The Wisconsin Towns Association deemed the survey legal, according to Snook. The survey documents and results will become public record. The next step will be to go through that survey and evaluate suggestions, and if we need to tweak the ordinance based on input from the citizens, we will, said Snook. Well then put it to a board vote. Copies of the survey, a map of the proposed routes and the draft ordinance are all available for download at the town of Phelps website at phelpswi.com or at the Phelps Chamber of Commerce website at phelpscofc.org. ATV route maps also will be posted at the Phelps Community Center, First National Bank-Phelps Branch and Phelps Convenience Center.

Vilas County Court report
Man, 22, enters not-guilty plea on sexual assault of child charges

A 22-year-old Eagle River man, charged with four felony counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child and two counts of child as actor, entered a plea of not guilty in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. Joshua D. Leach, also charged with intimidating a victim, a misdemeanor, waived his preliminary hearing and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Vilas County Circuit Judge Neal A. Nielsen III set a pretrial conference for Oct. 18 at 9 a.m. Leachs attorney, Henry Schultz, made a motion to modify bond to allow Leach to work in Vilas, Oneida and Forest counties. Judge Nielsen previously allowed Leach to remain free on his $10,000 cash bail and allowed employment at a landscaping business. Leach must be at his residence from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., unless hes working. Conditions of Leachs bond include no contact with minor females, he is not to go upon premises of any schools, and he can drive by himself from home to work. According to the complaint, Leach had oral sex with a 14year-old girl in October of 2010 in Eagle River. The complaint notes that Leach also had sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old girl, whom he met through a youth group at a St. Germain church, and oral sex with a 16-year-old boy. The complaint also alleges Leach was at Eagle Lake Park in December 2010 with two females, ages 13 and 14. Leach allegedly made out with one of the girls and grabbed her legs. He also allegedly received oral sex from the other girl. In other felony cases, Eli James Mayo, 46, of Lac du Flambeau, had his sentence withheld and was put on probation for 24 months after pleading guilty to two counts of manufacturing and delivery of marijuana, and possession of drug parapharnelia. Charges of manufacturing and delivery of marijuana, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, manufacturing and delivery of Psilocin, and maintaining a drug trafficking place were dismissed. Conditions of Mayos probation include: alcohol and other drug abuse assessment and any counseling deemed necessary, mental health treatment, no drinking, no controlled substances, no taverns, he can take medications only as prescribed and in prescribed amounts, 60 days in the county jail to start Oct. 1 with work-release privileges, and he is fined $908. He will receive credit for one day served in jail. Lindsey J. Doede, 24, of Eagle River, charged with two counts of burglary of a building or dwelling, made an adjourned initial appearance in Vilas County Circuit Court last week. Attorney Christina Tenuta was appointed defense attorney and Doede will make her next appearance Aug. 29 at 10 a.m. Doede allegedly took 33 DVDs, a Wii game and controller, a portable DVD player, a digital camera and other items from two apartments at 622 Adams Road and 624 Adams Road in Eagle River in October 2010. The items were recognized by one of the owners at a pawn shop in Eagle River. One item also was located at a pawn shop in Schofield. Doede is free on a $2,000 signature bond. Twighla J. Jack, 36, of Lac du Flambeau, had a preliminary hearing adjourned to Sept. 12 at 9:30 a.m. Jack is charged with two counts of manufacturing or delivery of a prescription drug, party to a crime. Jack and Benjamin Harris allegedly sold five Oxycodone tablets and one Fentanyl transdermal patch to officers for $100 April 20, 2010, in Lac du Flambeau. Steven R. Gukich, 18, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with burglary of a building or dwelling, theft of movable property and misdemeanor theft, had an initial appearance adjourned to Aug. 22 at 10 a.m. Gukich allegedly took five firearms and two ice augers from a residence at 14225 Longs Point Lane May 23 and 25, and hid the items at his sisters house. He is free on a $1,500 signature bond. The home is owned by Lac du Flambeau Tribal Chairman Tom Maulson. Gukich also made an appearance in court for a motion hearing because a deferred entry of judgment agreement on previous misdemeanor theft and criminal damage to property convictions was breached. James Armstrong, 23, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with felony bail jumping and misdemeanor battery, had a preliminary hearing set for Oct. 24 at 2 p.m. Darren L. Lube, 45, of Ironwood, Mich., who apparently breached his deferred entry of judgment when he failed to pay child support, had a motion hearing adjourned to Nov. 7 at 2:30 p.m.

City considers utility work, sidewalks as part of Silver Lake Road project
___________
BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT
___________
Improvements to Silver Lake Road were discussed by the Eagle River City Council last week, with council members discussing the condition of sewer and water lines beneath the street surface and sidewalks for pedestrian safety. This has been a tough issue, said Mayor Jeff Hyslop, indicating even with grants the cost to the city would be substantial. We have no definite information on the structures underneath. The Wisconsin Community Economic Development Block Grant program for public facilities would provide $286,000, or 30%, of the $973,225 project cost. A Wisconsin Department of Transportation street reconstruction grant of $186,312 would cover 17% of the cost. The citys share is estimated at $518,913. Directing his comments to city administrator Joe Laux and public works foreman Mike Adamovich, Councilman Jerry Burkett requested more information. We want you to give us a recommendation. Light & Water (city utility) wants a recommendation, said Burkett. Should we just do the road or
both the road and the (sewer and water) infrastructure? These are tough times and, yes, we have grants, but its (city share) still a lot of money. Utility manager Pat Weber indicated when Pine Street was done, some sewer lines were changed, but the water mains, while old, didnt have a major problem. I did some more research and I can give you an opinion tonight, said Weber. But he declined comment until after discussing the situation with others. It was noted that there was an indication the heavy cement trucks presently using Silver Lake Road would not use the former Richter pit within two years, although weight limits, placed by the city, could stop heavy traffic immediately. The City Council also discussed reducing the road width in order to have a sidewalk on the entire east side for safety reasons. The current plan reconstructs the entire 41-foot width of the road and 900 feet of new sidewalk. It also would include a new asphalt path from Maple Street to Sheridan Street on the west side of Silver Lake Road. The plan would make bike and pedestrians cross the road twice going north to Silver Lake Beach.
We could consider narrowing the road to accommodate a sidewalk, said Weber. Burkett said that would also save costs of the blacktop of the road surface and asphalt path. The council was provided a copy of a Silver Lake Watershed Control resolution from the lake association. It recommends a no mow to the lakeedge policy and to develop a shoreline restoration project on the city-owned shoreline near the public beach. It also includes a storm-water management plan to control surface runoff within the watershed. Terms of office Several aldermanic district plans, along with a suggestion to stagger aldermanic terms of office, were presented by Laux. These included reducing the number of districts to two with the election of two persons to serve on the City Council from each district. Presently, there are four aldermanic districts with one person elected from each serving a two-year term. The mayors term of office also is two years which presents the possibility, according to Laux, that there could be a complete turnover in city elected officials after any two-year election cycle. The two-district proposal
was rejected by Councilwoman Carol Hendricks. If we voted opposite each other, our people would have no representation, she declared. I like the four districts. The council approved keeping four aldermanic districts and creation of five wards to comply with the county redistricting plan. It was noted the city charter ordinance would have to be changed to allow the term of mayor to be four years to be elected in odd-numbered years. In aldermanic districts, the terms would be three years with two elected in even-numbered years and two in odd-numbered years. Burkett offered another option. We could have all four aldermen elected for two years and the mayor every other year, he suggested. The mayors term for one election would be for three years and then every two years after that. No action was taken on changing the charter ordinance. Other business In other business, the council: approved an open-air concert at the Derby Track between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m., with adult supervision on-site; approved outside music at the Derby Track outlet store on Railroad Street (former Verizon building), with the volume to be determined by the police chief; approved outside music at BBTs on Wall Street from noon to 8 p.m., other than during Thursday street dances, with the volume to be determined by the police chief; sent to the city Plan Commission for consideration a change in the ordinance to allow more than two dogs per household, noting there already are locations where more than two exist; and appointed Mike Duening as the city representative on the Landfill Venture Group.

Even with budget repair bill, city faces $156,200 shortfall

___________
BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT
___________
Despite seeing some financial benefits of the state budget repair bill, the Eagle River City Council learned it still must increase revenues or reduce services to balance next years budget. City Administrator Joe Laux provided the council with a projected 2012 budget summary last week that indicated an estimated shortage of $156,200. There are some savings due to the budget repair bill, including the requirement that employees, except police officers, must contribute 5.9% to the Wisconsin retirement system under the budget repair bill. That will save the city $23,000. But Laux said new or committed expenditures totaled $234,000, including a maximum 2% pay increase (base on the consumer price index), an estimated 12% increase in health insurance, a new squad car with accessories and parttime public works employment. Meanwhile, Laux said the tax levy must be frozen at last years level, according to state law. Revenue losses totaled $68,200, with the largest reductions being the tax incre-
ment financing revenue reduction of $40,000 due to lost value and loss of $24,000 in state transportation aid. Not filling a vacant position in public works with the retirement of Ron Montezon saves $70,000. Total savings were estimated at $146,000, leaving the gap of $156,200. Insurance options Since health care is a major fringe benefit and health insurance is expected to rise from 10% to 12%, Laux laid out nine alternatives for the council to consider. The current plan has a 10% premium for families and zero for single employees and the current net cost to the city for 2011 is $342,037, he told the council. Increasing the premium would decrease the net cost to the city. There would be a savings of 3.7% by increasing employees share to 12% and 11.7% savings at 20% employees share. Option two would be an HMO (health management organization) and the net cost to the city drops about 2.6%, while option three would eliminate the $23,000 the city contributes each year toward the $1,500 deductible, Laux continued. Other options examined were employees establishing a health savings account (HSA) rather than a health reimbursement account.
Under the HSA, employees would pay the first $1,500 deductible out of pocket, which is tax deductible. If you increase the premium share to 12% across the board, remove the $23,000 payment toward the deductible and establish an HSA, the total premium savings goes from $342,037 to $275,506 for a savings of $66,531 or a total reduction of 19.5%, Laux calculated. Option nine would have the city no longer offering a health insurance plan for employees. Councilman Jerry Burkett complimented Laux on his work with numbers on health insurance options. You have taken your job to a whole new level on informing the city and what we need to make a decision, said Burkett. Although I dont always agree with you, I respect your work. Contract talks City attorney Steve Garbowicz told the council that employees are limited when it comes to negotiations in this new era as a result of the budget repair bill. When contracts expire, they cannot be renewed anymore and only wages can be bargained and they are tied to the consumer price index, Garbowicz told the council. Even though the police union
is an exception, they are subject to health changes. You can develop a personnel policy, but you must have a grievance procedure that addresses termination, discipline and workplace safety. I prefer you have a policy to have benefits; it guides the council and employees. Garbowicz reminded the council, under the new era, when discussing benefits, they must do so in open session and can no longer go into closed session to talk about personnel policy. He indicated the city cannot raise the tax levy unless it goes to a referendum, so you will have to pay close attention to fringe benefit costs. The proposed grievance policy includes four steps of disciplinary action and includes a verbal warning, written warning, suspension with or without pay, or termination. An appeal can be made to an impartial hearing officer (IHO) whose decision is final unless the employee files a request for a decision by the full council, which must either uphold the IHO ruling or reject it; the council cannot modify the IHO ruling. Councilwoman Kim Schaffer suggested meetings to discuss specific parts of the employee personnel policy, indicating its not our intent to scalp everything.
Association (ERBA) recently held an auction for 10 of the 5-foot hand-painted fiberglass eagle statues that have been on display in Eagle River since May 2010. The association had five statues up for silent auction and another five up for live auction. While only eight were sold at the auction, the eagle statues raised $7,100, which was donated to the Eagle River Historical Societys building campaign, the Eagle River Revitalization Program and the Vilas Food Pantry. A single statue sold for $2,500, according to Gail Newitt of ERBA. There were a couple of people who wanted it, she said. They loved it so much they kept bidding and bidding. Newitt said the lowest amount raised by a single statue was $500, and that the average for all of the eagles sold was about $900. There are still auctions coming up, said Newitt. I think eight of them are going to be up for silent auction at Festival of Flavors. Another eagle is available at BBTs for raffle. The drawing will be at Cranberry Fest, said Newitt. The 25 unique statues were

hand-painted by local artists, who donated their time, materials and expertise. The eagles were then sponsored by local businesses that put them up for display.

Studies show woody debris is good for lakes
THE JIG and leech landed right next to the partly submerged shoreline tree, falling toward the bottom in what I guessed would be a maze of sticks and branches. Slowly lifting the tip to pull the bait through the snag, the move was met with a single tap a bite that was so aggressive you could have felt it on a broomsticksized muskie rod. I responded with a hook-set and the fight was on. Though the fish got hooked up on a branch for a moment, out of the tree came a fat 18-inch walleye. The feisty summer fish was all over the place, and it took quite a few passes to finally get his head and golden flanks into the net. Anglers have known for decades the benefits of leaving stumps in shallow water, and trees or branches when they fall, to provide some natural habitat for fish. The cover attracts tiny aquatic organisms, and the minnows that feed there attract bigger fish. Recent thunderstorms felled new shoreline trees on many lakes in the area, and its the scribblers hope that property owners leave alone the ones that arent interfering with their pier or beach. It isnt just fish and anglers who are better off when people allow woody debris to remain in shallow water. National research, including some studies right here in the North Woods, show more than 4,000 species of aquatic insects and water mites benefit from woody material on the shallow

shelf around lakes that is known as the photic zone that part of the shoreline where light can reach the lake bed. In fact, a study done on the Three Lakes Chain showed there were 30 times as many aquatic insects in areas containing wood, brush or overhanging branches. Thats why a growing contingency of environmentalists, lake associations, fish biologists and anglers are working to educate people about the benefits of natural shoreline debris. Tom Blake, a water-quality specialist with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in Rhinelander, said its a natural tendency for new lakefront property owners to want to clean up their shorelines by removing stumps, rocks and branches. People remove trees and logs from their lake frontage without realizing how valuable the habitat is to maintain good fishing and wildlife populations, said Blake. Steve AveLallemant, the DNRs fisheries expert for the northern region, said a UW-Madison study of 14 lakes near Boulder Junction
found that the bluegill growth rates were slower on lakes surrounded by cabins than on lakes with no cottages. Studies in Wisconsin and elsewhere continue to show that coarse woody debris provides valuable food, shelter and breeding ground for insects. It buffers wave action and undertow from bouldertype riprap, preventing insect washout. It promotes the growth of macrophytes. Unlike fish cribs that are placed in 12 to 18 feet of water, which concentrate fish but do little to help them propagate in larger numbers, shallow-water wood and brush has enormous benefits for insects that base the food chain. What doesnt take much research is for anglers to learn how productive the fishing can be around shoreline trees, brush and other debris. You can learn that in a heartbeat by just seeking out and fishing some of that habitat. Proof of this also comes on lakes such as Escanaba near Sayner, a natural lake with shorelines that are filled with downed trees and brush. The lake has historically been home to some of the most productive walleye spawning areas in the state. Walleyes, crappies and both smallmouth and largemouth bass are routinely attracted to woody debris. The most productive trees are those that are entirely submerged, and those located along steep shorelines where water levels drop off fast. Trees with multi-
Wind-felled trees along the shoreline are not only good for anglers, but they harbor aquatic insects and other wildlife. --STAFF PHOTO
ple branches or those still containing needles or leaves are real fish attractors. Suspending a minnow or leech over a submerged tree with a slip bobber is one way to catch some fish. Another is to use a weedless jig to avoid snags while getting the bait right into where the fish are holding. You will lose jigs or hooks from time to time, and possibly some fish, because they often get tangled in branches. But thats a small price for some fast-paced fishing action. Many young-of-the-year fish depend on this cover for shelter
from predator fish, said AveLallemant. These areas are often underwater nurseries. Downed trees also provide resting sites for wildlife, from turtles and ducks to muskrats. They are used by aquatic insects as a platform to shed their watery skin and become flying adults. The mayflies and dragonflies produced by aquatic larvae are two examples. If we get another windstorm this summer and a tree or large branch falls in the water, please think about leaving it there. Its a good thing. Clean shorelines are unproductive shorelines.

To shoot an antlerless deer in these 30 units, hunters must purchase a unit-specific $12 adult resident antlerless deer carcass
Fishing with the Guides

Fishing inconsistent as water temps drop

With some cool mornings and foggy water at times, the North Woods is certainly getting a taste of early fall weather. When that water is steaming in the morning, the lakes are losing water temperature at a fast rate. Speaking of water temperatures, lakes are now down into the low 70s and in the early mornings even the high 60s on some lakes. Wow. It seems early for these temperature drops. Fall is coming whether we want it to or not. Water levels have been dropping a little, but they remain much better than they were last year at this time. Weeds are starting to die off in the shallows, but remain nice and green in deeper and mid-level waters. Some lakes have significant algae blooms right now. Walleye fishing is very inconsistent at this point. On the Chain, anglers are getting fish in the weeds during the daytime, but the off-light times are better. That is pretty normal for this time of year. On the bigger, deeper lakes, the fishing is just not seasonal yet. We are normally catching good numbers of fish in deeper water on lakes like North Twin, but that is just not happening yet this year. We are hoping that the drop in water temperatures will result in an improvement in this fishing. All types of live bait are working at this point. Bass fishing also has become more inconsistent. The largemouth bass have slowed down a little for the first time this year. Spinner baits seem to be working best right now and the evening fishing is better than daytime fishing. Smallie action has improved somewhat, with more consistent daytime bites on all the big smallie lakes. Leeches remain the best producer, but you also can get fish on all crayfish imitation baits. The best action centers around the 10-foot level. Northern action has slowed somewhat, with that great weed action dropping off. Your best prospect for these fish is to fish with chubs at the deeper edge of weed beds. For artificial baits, spinners are best in the last week or so. Muskie action is inconsistent right along with the rest of our fishing. There seems to be daily feeding windows which can be quite productive, but many time periods are pretty slow at this point. Bucktails have been the best bait in the last week, with some decent fish being recorded. Panfish action is good, with crappies and bluegills both hitting pretty well on a daily basis. Just look for weeds for these gills and use either worms or waxworms for best results. For crappies, locate deeper brush piles and slip bobber with minnows for best results. Perch have been hitting in the weeds, intermixed with the walleye on the Eagle River Chain in the last week. Minnows have been working best for the perch, but leeches also will get them. Typical late summer action is on tap. Good luck and good fishin.

tag ($5 for 10- to 11-year-olds and $20 for adult nonresident). Eight regular DMUs are designated as buck only to encourage herd growth, including units 29B, 34, 35 and 39. The other units are 3, 7, 44 and 45. In these eight units, some exceptions may apply to qualified members of the U.S. Armed Forces who are home on furlough or leave, Class A and C disabled permit
hunters and youths ages 10 through 17 who have an unused statewide antlerless deer carcass tag. For more details, see the 2011 Deer Hunting Regulations booklet. Every gun and archery deer hunting license will include an antlerless carcass tag valid for units designated as Herd Control or Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). CWD units have unlimited
earn-a-buck rules. Purchasing a deer hunting license before Aug. 20 can speed up the permit purchasing process, since hunters must obtain a deer hunting license before they can purchase a bonus antlerless tag or state park access permit. Hunters can check for antlerless deer tag or access permit availability on the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.

The plain truth is, no matter how good the body of water is and no matter how good theyre biting, you wont catch muskies if you cant perform the basic skills of casting proficiently and working your lures properly. I have witnessed so many fishing scenarios over the past 35 years where anglers are on top of hot, active muskies in the absolute primest conditions, yet their own ineptness prevented them from any kind of success. This is, to a point, also true in the panfish, bass and walleye world, but its absolutely crucial in the muskie business. There are still far too many anglers out there who blame the guide, the weather and the water for their lack of success. This is one sport where money doesnt buy success. It must be earned. While time on the water is certainly a big factor, it still takes a back seat to the basics of mastering skills. First and foremost on the skill list is mastering the simplest art of casting large baitcast gear. I am amazed how many muskie anglers have terrible casting form and backlashes. With all the great gear thats out there today, youd think that the basics of bait casting would truly be mastered by the masses. It doesnt matter how much that rod and reel costs, you still have to learn how to actually use it with a variety of lures. Master the lake The next thing you can do to really up your muskie score is to pick a productive local lake and really learn it well. In fact, Id suggest totally dedicating yourself to one local lake, river or reservoir until you know it well enough to drive around it in

complete darkness. Granted, this may take years to learn it that well, but it is worth it. Not only does it take time on the water to learn a lake intimately, it also requires research from other avenues. Keep tabs on this local lake from as many angles as you can. Keep your ears and eyes open for evidence of recent catches from this lake. Watch other anglers while you are out there doing your thing. You will often learn as much by watching as you will by fishing. This includes not only muskie hunters, but walleye, bass and panfish anglers as well. The location of all of these other fish is nearly always related to muskie whereabouts. Make it a point to learn everything you can about the underwater terrain, along with paying close attention to where muskies seem to hang out on a regular basis. Never overestimate how much you think you know about this lake. There is always more to learn. This is where quality maps and good electronics
can make a difference. However, even the best maps rarely have the real details marked on them. You have to learn these secrets through hard work and a watchful eye on the sonar, other anglers and your surroundings. Electronics can help Todays modern electronics have made it far easier to learn water quickly. The advent of global positioning systems (GPS) has made a huge difference in the anglers ability to precisely mark the exact location of the best fishing spots. If you havent made an investment in a sonar system with GPS, Id suggest you do so. Load the GPS with the very latest in after-market map card technology. This provides you with great contour map readouts right alongside your sonar display. When you raise a big muskie, or simply find a really good-looking spot, it can be quickly marked on your map with a simple push of the waypoint save button. You can then return to that exact spot time and time again.
Side-scanning sonar also enables one to locate both isolated off-shore structures as well as roaming schools of open-water bait fish. Once you master this new technology, you will be able to find spots that other anglers do not know about. In a tournament of the size and magnitude of the one about to take place this weekend in the Eagle River area, an advantage like this can make a huge difference since it offers a chance to target muskies no one else is casting to. The run-and-gun casting style of most muskie maniacs is tailor-made for the use of high-quality sonar and GPS. Purchase the best unit you can afford, and really learn how to use it. You wont regret it. Finally, always watch for patterns to emerge. Every great angler Ive met thinks in this realm. Once youve seen several muskies follow, try to analyze and collect as many variables as you can from these sightings. What kind of terrain were they in? How deep were they? What lure were they most apt to chase? What time of the day were these fish most active? Ask as many questions as you can, and try to find as many common denominators as possible. Then, try to duplicate that in every possible location. Eventually, a clearcut pattern will emerge. I like to keep things simple and I believe it is one of the keys to success with muskies. If you discipline yourself to master the basic arts of casting, working lures and performing good figure eights, you are bound to be way more productive. Instead of running from lake to lake, lock in on one body of water, learn it intimately and have good boat patrol control skills. Challenge yourself to learn it better than you ever thought possible. This, too, will result in more opportunities at muskies.
Plum Creek Chapter of DU to host 2011 fall banquet

The Plum Creek Chapter of Ducks Unlimited (DU) in Sayner will hold its 2011 fall banquet Tuesday, Aug. 30, at Clearview Supper Club on Big St. Germain Lake.

Pines Hall of Fame to induct former greats

An athlete, a coach and two girls basketball teams will be inducted into the Eagle River/Northland Pines High School (NPHS) Athletic Hall of Fame this Friday, Aug. 19. While it is early for the annual induction ceremony, the hall of fame committee is hoping a big crowd turns out to recognize the individuals and teams. Those to be honored as 2011 inductees will be athlete Gene E. Staffen and coach Dave Koller, along with the 1979-80 and 1980-81 girls basketball teams that won conference titles and were runners-up at the State Tournament. (See details of their accomplishments in this section.) The enshrinement ceremony will be at 5 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend. Following the ceremony and a brief reception, the Hall of Fame football game between Northland Pines and Three Lakes will be played at 7 p.m. The inductees will be introduced at halftime. After the football game, there will be a reception at Eagle River Country Club. The inductees and their families, former teammates, coaches, friends, staff members and fans are welcome. Inductees from previous years also have been invited. The Hall of Fame Committee also encourages sponsorships to maintain the future development of the hall, located near the field house at Northland Pines High School. Corporate sponsorships are $100 and individual sponsorships are $25. They can be sent to: Tom Obrodovich, Eagle River/Northland Pines Athletic Hall of Fame, 1160 Taylor Lake Road, Eagle River, WI 54521. The Hall of Fame Committee hopes many of the inductees relatives, friends, teammates and classmates attend the festivities this Friday in Eagle River. This years inductees, and past inductees, are certainly deserving of the honor.

Eleven letterwinners to return to Pines football team in 2011

BY ANTHONY DREW
___________
The Northland Pines High School football team will look to its 11 returning letterwinners in its playoff hopes during its second season in the Western Peninsula Athletic Conference (WestPAC). The returning letterwinners include seniors Mitchell Elbe, Lucas Ferber, Tim Kopanski and Rich Mork; and juniors Tanner Perry, Tavish Perry, T.J. Harsla, Johnny
Schwenn, Brian Kubacki, Caleb Grosskopf and Austin Ramesh. Pines coach Jason Foster said the team will rely heavily on strong athletic players like right tackle and defensive end Elbe, and Ferber, a leading tackler for the Eagles who plays in the left guard and linebacker positions. Much of the offensive focus will be on Pines leading rusher, Ramesh, who Foster referred to as strong and athletic. Our team strengths are
experience, leadership, work ethic, the running game and strength and athleticism, said Foster. While the Eagles are able to make moves offensively with the running game, stopping other teams from doing the same presents a challenge. We need to improve on stopping the run and becoming more diversified on offense, said the coach. While every team in WestPAC is expected to improve,
Foster maintained that Calumet, Mich., will be the team to beat. The path to the conference championship will once again go through Calumet, he said. Northland Pines will host Three Lakes in the season opener Friday, Aug. 19, beginning at 7 p.m. Last year, Northland Pines won the nonconference game against the Bluejays 38-13. The evening will also feature the Athletic Hall of Fame Ceremony and Recognition Night.
Pines to return 13 in boys varsity soccer

The Northland Pines High School boys soccer team is looking to improve on its 2010 season as it will return 13 letterwinners. After Great Northern Conference (GNC) championships in 2008 and 09, Pines fell to a fourth-place finish in 2010 with a 4-6 record. The loss of Taylor Ridderbusch, the GNCs third leading scorer from last year, will have to be made up by committee this year. With many returning players in the front, our goal is to be much more of an offensive team this year, said Pines coach Larry Favorite. We have a good number of capable people who should be able to contribute offensively. Juniors Trevor Laszczkowski (GNC honorable mention in 2010) and Jacob Bozic are playing well at forward to start the year, according to the coach. Jacob and Trev are opposites in their style of play and even their personalities, but that should keep opponents guessing a bit as to whats coming their way, said Favorite. Freshman Cooper Anderson and transfer student Nick Staege are two very athletic backups at forward to start the season. Juniors Dylan Weber (GNC honorable mention) and Devin Sauvola will be pivotal in the central midfield, and both have extensive experience already and work well together, according to Favorite. Junior Leif Offerdahl and senior Greg Chamberlain also are experienced in the middle and will likely see time there. Outside midfielders will bring good speed to the Eagles attack this year, Favorite said. Seniors Matt Meyer, Duncan Hosking and Dominic Caroselli are off to a good start, along with sophomore Chris Paez, coach said. This group needs to score this year, its as simple as that, said Favorite. Also expected to contribute this year on the outside are Anderson, Staege and sophomore Mitch Moline. Defending should be a strenth of the team this year, as senior captains Alex Camp To EAGLES, Pg. 10A

The Three Lakes Bluejays high school football team will return 12 letterwinners to play in the 2011 season. Among the returning players are Anthony Briggs, Brent LaDuke, Trenten Stefonek, Ben Wales, Aaron Kohn, Ethan Phelps, Andrew Vought, Charlie Starke, Emerson Hegeman, Jake Schneider, Andrew Nickel and Hunter Raatz. Head coach Brian Fritz, along with assistant coaches Tyler Maney and Mark Senter, began holding practices for the players during the first week of August in preparation
an early season opener against Northland Pines this Friday night. Fritz said some of his top talents this year included LaDuke at quarterback and defensive back, Hegeman at linebacker, Wales at wide receiver and defensive back, Stefonek at running back and linebacker, Nickel at linebacker, Starke at linebacker, Schneider at a linebacker and Levandoski at the running back and safety positions. Similar to previous years, the Bluejays will struggle with a limited bench. One of the challenges, as always during the last 15 years, is our numbers, said Fritz. We have 22 young men
out for the team from freshmen to senior. Despite a smaller team, the Jays look to compete in the Northern Lakes Conference this season. We expect to be mid-conference, said Fritz. Our goal is to be competitive in all conference games, limit turnovers and establish the run. Fritz said Niagara-Goodman-Pembine will prove a difficult conference rival, along with Florence and Crandon. He added that Laona-Wabeno has a strong coaching staff and is typically well-prepared on the field. Were very excited about Brent LaDuke and what he brings to the quarterback po-
sition, said Fritz. We also have several dynamic athletes such as Ben Wales and Trenten Stefonek. The coach also mentioned that senior offensive linemen Schneider and Starke are transitioning from other positions, while Levandoski will return to the field after a year of rehabilitation from a torn ACL. Our schedule is tough, said Fritz. The first three games we play Northland Pines, a Division 3 school, the West Iron Wykons and the three-team co-op NiagaraGoodman-Pembine. Fridays game against the Eagles is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at Northland Pines High School.

Daniel places third in state at singles bowling tourney
Northland Pines senior and youth bowler Seth Daniel of St. Germain recently won $610 in scholarship money at the WisconDANIEL sin State United States Bowling Conference (USBC) Youth Associations annual banquet in Green Bay. The USBC Youth Association presents tribute awards and championship scholarship awards to bowlers at the yearly event. Daniel had competed in a state tournament, which lasted for several weeks and included hundreds of youth bowlers from all across Wisconsin. He placed third in the state in the singles event, winning a $440 scholarship for the accomplishment. Daniel won an additional $170 after placing seventh in All Events at the state level. Daniel is coached by Steve Janssen of St. Germain and represented Eagle Lanes. The Wisconsin State Youth Bowling Association mission statement says it exists to educate youth through sanctioned programs and develop future leaders.

and Scott Moline will anchor the center of the defense, according to Favorite. Both received GNC All-Conference honors last year and bring a wealth of experience, stability and athletic ability to the team. Expecting to start on the outside are two experienced, returning letterwinners, senior Greg Chamberlain and junior Steven Vogel. This group should be very good this year, and fun to watch, said Favorite. They work very well as a unit, which is so important in the game of soccer. Also looking solid early in the year are senior Cody Drake and junior Jacob Tosch, Favorite said. Two-time letterwinner Evan Hartwig, a junior, brings experience to his job as goalkeeper. Hartwig started nearly 20 games as a freshman and sophomore, as he shared time with Zac Nell who graduated last year. Evan has the perfect frame for a goalkeeper with his long reach, said Favorite. We are expecting him to have a great season this year. If we can get our offense to score more effectively this year, we should have a pretty competitive team. The GNC has a lot of really solid teams, so we have to average more than two goals per game if we want to contend, said Favorite. Mosinee, with many returning seniors and a lot of speed, is expected to be a contender, along with the defending champion Rhinelander team. Archrival Lakeland and Medford are also worthy opponents this year and could knock off any team in the league. Pines will open its nonconference season at home against Three Lakes Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 5 p.m. On Saturday, Aug. 20, the Eagles will travel to Mosinee to play Clintonville and Chippewa Falls/McDonnell Regis. The junior varsity will return coach Wendy McCormack for the season. Assisting the varsity and junior varsity teams are coaches Walt Camp and Steve Heaton.
Jake Reif of Deerbrook broke the track speed record at Eagle River Speedway, racing a micro sprint car at 95 milesper-hour last Tuesday. Reif turned a 14.52-second lap, breaking Robby Reschs record by a mere three onehundredths of a second. Reif went on to win the Micro Sprint feature, with Resch taking a second. Reif was asked if he knew he had a 95-mph lap and broke the speed record. Not really, this is a surprise to me, he said. The car was just set up and handling so well. I was able to find some traction on the low side and it worked out. What made his track setting performance surprising is that Reif took a fourth in an earlier heat, when Rhinelanders Jared Cech held off Resch and Eagle Rivers Mike Hicks. In the Auto Value Open Mod Shootout, Jerry Hartman of Marenisco, Mich., made a return to the track by holding off
Eagle Rivers Jason Zdroik. Hartman got on the low side of the track in both the tight first and fourth corners, passing Zdroik halfway through the feature. He did all he could to hold Zdroik off for the win. Zdroik Racing donated bicycles during intermission. Stock car racing will return to Eagle River Speedway next Tuesday night with hot laps beginning at 7 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m.

Statement from City Attorney Steve Garbowicz regarding State Act 10 and a personnel policy manual which includes grievance procedures, health insurance, union negotiations, employee raises and all other benefits that were previously contained in union contracts and how it relates to employees. We talked earlier about Act 10 changes. When union or private contracts expire they cannot be renewed anymore. Can only bargain for wages for the percentage of the consumer price index (CPI) or less, or we can go over the CPI amount by referendum. All other benefits cannot be bargained for. Applies to everyone but police union except the health insurance does apply to the police. We have options on what to replace the union contracts with. We have to have a grievance procedure in place for discipline and safety by October 1. A grievance is dealt with by the immediate supervisor and then the independent hearing officer. We can enact a grievance procedure and nothing else or do a personnel policy. Garbowicz would prefer a policy. This would have to be done in an open meeting not closed session. Discussion of grievance officer. Garbowicz is looking into a reciprocal agreement with Vilas County and the school district. Draft grievance procedure did not include just cause. He included section on burden so it is much more understandable. Discussion of hearing officer and whether the council should be able to override the hearing officers decision. Discussion of possible budget shortfalls. Levy freeze is on operations, not debt service. Health insurance options for all city employees effective January 1, 2012. Discussion of Joe Laux comparison on 8 different insurance plans. Option 9 would be not offering any health insurance at all. HSA can carry balance over from year to year. Discussion of having 2 meetings in September to iron out exactly what we want to do. Discussion of employee personnel policy manual for all city employees beginning in January 2012 which includes employee benefits and grievance procedures. We will set up specific meetings to handle these options focusing on one thing such as health insurance, grievance procedure etc. Public comments. Ken Anderson - wonderful time to cover local government. Motion by Hendricks, 2nd by Burkett to adjourn to closed session according to Wis. Statute 19.85 (1) (c) Considering employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility. (e) Deliberating or negotiating the purchasing of public properties, the investing of public funds, or conducting other specified public business, whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session. 1) Negotiations with Wisconsin Professional Police Association (W.P.P.A.). Carried on roll call vote. Motion by Burkett, 2nd by Schaffer to return to open session. Carried on roll call vote. Motion by Hendricks, 2nd by Burkett to adjourn at 9:26 p.m. Carried. Debra A.

One standout athlete, a longtime coach and two girls basketball teams will make up the ninth class to be inducted into the Eagle River/Northland Pines High School (NPHS) Athletic Hall of Fame. Those individuals to be honored will be former athlete Gene E. Staffen and cross-country coach Dave Koller. In addition to the two individuals being inducted, the 1979-80 and 198081 state runner-up high school girls basketball teams will be inducted into the hall. The enshrinement ceremony will be this Friday, Aug. 19, at 5 p.m. in the high school auditorium. The public is welcome to attend. The Hall of Fame plaques of the new inductees will join the 2003 through 2010 inductee plaques on the Hall of Fame in the high school near the field house. A special section in the hall also recognizes the standout teams. Following the ceremony and a brief reception, the Hall of Fame football game will be played between Northland Pines and Three Lakes at 7 p.m. The inductees will be introduced at halftime of the game. After the football game, there will be a reception at Eagle River Country Club. The inductees and their families, former teammates, coaches, friends, staff members and fans are welcome. Previous inductees also have been invited. The following is inscribed on each of the inductees Hall of Fame plaques. Gene E. Staffen Gene E. Staffen graduated from Eagle River High School (ERHS) in 1947, earning three letters in football. He was voted Northern Lakes all-conference halfback on an undefeated Eagles team. The three-sport athlete also earned two letters in basket-
berth. The Northland Pines girls took a 21-1 record and 19game winning streak into the State Tournament at the University of Wisconsin Fieldhouse in Madison. In the semifinal, Northland Pines edged McFarland 42-40, but the Eagles fell to Cuba City 48-40 in the State title game. The Eagles finished the season with a 22-2 record and brought the silver ball back to the Northland Pines trophy case. 1980-81 team The Northland Pines girls basketball team from 1980-81 is the second girls team to be inducted into the Eagle River/Northland Pines High School Athletic Hall of Fame. The Eagles, under the direction of coach Tom Druschke, won the Lumberjack Conference with an 11-1 record, losing only to Park Falls, and finished the regular season with a 17-1 mark. In WIAA Class B tournament play, the Eagles beat Tomahawk 42-24, Park Falls 46-32 and Hayward 5742 in Regional contests. Northland Pines then defeated Amery 48-45 and Holeman 4429 in Sectional games to earn the Eagles second straight berth in the State Tournament. The Northland Pines girls took a 22-1 record into the State Tournament at the University of Wisconsin Fieldhouse in Madison. In the state semifinal, Northland Pines beat Portage 49-43, but the Eagles fell to Algoma 60-44 in the State title game. The Eagles finished the season with a 23-2 record and returned to Northland Pines with the silver ball for the trophy case.

ball and three letters in baseball. In 1945, the late Ben Werner and he had a meeting with principal E.W. Kracht to discuss the possibility of starting baseball at ERHS. The team was approved with Ernie Johnson as the first coach. Staffen graduated with a bachelors degree in science in 1951 and a masters degree in physical education in 1960, both from UW-La Crosse. He served in the U.S. Army from 1951 through 1953 during the Korean War. In 1953, Staffen was hired to teach general science at Neillsville High School, where he also was the assistant football coach and head baseball coach. He moved to Edgerton High School in 1963, where he taught boys physical education and was the athletic director. He also was head football coach and head golf coach at Edgerton, where he was Steve Strickers golf coach. He retired in 1989 from Edgerton High School. Staffen was inducted into the Wisconsin High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame, as well as the Edgerton Area Sports Hall of Fame. His family includes his wife, Sally; his daughter, Jane; his sons, Ted and Mike; and six grandchildren. At present, he and his wife reside on Lac Vieux Desert near Land O Lakes. Dave Koller When Dave Koller walked onto the track at Northland Pines High School in the spring of 1988 as a volunteer coach, he knew the statistics would not be important. The wins and losses or how the athletes played the game would, in the long run, be of no
consequence. What mattered to him was that the students participated. A few years later, Koller went on to start the first Northland Pines crosscountry team, first as a club sport and later as a WIAAsanctioned sport. Kollers greatest reward has been to inspire and coach athletes beyond the limits they set for themselves. He knew that reaching new heights would bring confidence, self-esteem and leadership the tools any young adult needs to mature. As a result, many of the thousands of athletes he has coached in track and field and cross-country still run today. Many of his former athletes also have brought their children to learn from Coach Dave. He has been a coach, a mentor and a friend to athletes at Northland Pines High School for more than 30 years, placing Koller in the Hall of Fame in the coaching category. 1979-80 team The Northland Pines High School girls basketball team from 1979-80 is the first girls team to be inducted into the Eagle River/Northland Pines High School Athletic Hall of Fame. The Eagles, under the direction of coach Tom Druschke, won the Lumberjack Conference title with a perfect 14-0 record and finished the regular season with a 19-1 mark, with their only loss to Rhinelander. In WIAA Class B Regional tournament play, the Eagles beat Ashland 40-25 and Tomahawk 60-36. Northland Pines then defeated Northwestern 59-51 and Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau 77-57 in Sectional action to earn the Eagles first State Tournament

Fathers letter to teacher spans three generations

MILLIONS OF young people, and tens of thousands of teachers, are preparing for a new school year to begin in the coming weeks. The following letter was written about 50 years ago by a young father and sent to his sons teacher. Twenty years ago, a copy of the letter was sent to the teacher of the authors grandson. The message is as true today as it was back then. Tuesday, our 5-year-old Benny will turn his back on babyhood and, to some extent, on his mother and father as he trots off to school. We happen to feel that most public schools are too soft, too crowded and too little concerned with the fundamentals. We do not blame anyone on the local level for that. So philosophical arguments must be forgotten in the reality of a little boy waving goodbye. His mother and I do not expect you to perform miracles. We realize that, at most, you can develop the material that comes to you; that what you are able to do will depend upon what we already have done or failed to do. We know, too, that our responsibilities are not over far from it. But we believe we, and you, should face the facts: From here on out, our influence on him will become less while yours will grow

People Make the Difference

By Byron McNutt
greater. And so, as you begin to take over, it seems an appropriate time to tell you what we should like to have him taught. The world is different today, than it was in my day. There is so much more to learn, and the way he will be taught is different, but some things need to stay the same. We hope you can teach him to read. That is easy, some people might say. You know better. You realize, as perhaps no one else does, how many boys and girls are graduated from high school without ever having learned to read in the full sense of the word. Reading, it seems to us, is more than just seeing all the words and being able to pronounce them. The good reader reads with his mind. The eyes serve simply as a tool. In short, when he reads, he thinks. Words can convey pictures, too. Pictures are more vivid than any photograph because they are images painted on his mind by his own experiences. As Benny learns to read, not simply to parrot words, such simple words as moonlight and wind will bring back to him experiences and feelings and emotions. From these simple associations he can go on, as he learns to read better, to laughter and tears, admiration and contempt, sympathy and courage. So reading can become not only a source of comfort in times of loneliness. It can feed mind and heart and character. We hope you can teach him to write. We hope he learns to express ideas and emotions so they mean something to others. Learning to write is really learning first to organize thoughts and, secondly, learning to express them. If he is to write, he must learn the habit of studying words, his tool for saying what he has to say. He must learn all good writing is clear and simple, like all good people. And if what he writes is to be accepted and welcomed by others, he must learn to say it with the warmth that only sincerity, sympathy and tolerance can give. Finally, he must learn to figure.

Our View
Its a newspapers duty to enhance public debate
Some people ask us why a newspaper would run the risk of alienating readers by endorsing one political candidate over another, as opposed to just riding the fence and remaining low-key on political and other hot topics. So its time that we explain that, and other policies, because our readers should know what motivations and objectives are behind the policies set by their community newspaper. Our job as a community newspaper, first and foremost, is to inform the public. But we also believe it is the duty of a dynamic newspaper to enhance public interest and debate, and there is no better way to do that than by taking on tough issues in editorials on local subjects. We dont pretend to be right or all-knowing regarding the candidates, laws or plans we endorse on these pages, but we believe its an obligation of every newspaper to take a side on its opinion pages and provide lengthy reasons for that decision. An opinion without reasoning is a worthless cause for any newspaper, for the thought process that goes into the endorsement is what sparks public debate and enhanced understanding. We may upset people along the way, but our main goal is to get voters energized and thinking, regardless of whether they agree with our choices. Not all newspapers endorse candidates on their opinion pages, but we wish they would make that choice instead of allowing favoritism to creep into front-page stories. Any well-labeled opinion on the editorial page is better than a veiled endorsement that is snuck into a news article that is assumed to be objective and fair. And while were explaining policies, some readers also wonder why we refuse to run political letters in the final issue before an election but will allow political ads to run. First, it was many decades ago that the noletter policy on the final week was started to prevent the chance of running false accusations when theres no chance for rebuttal. Secondly, the few political ads we receive are a lot easier to screen for content accuracy than a bunch of letters written by unknown authors. Its not only the right of a newspaper to scan ads for inaccuracies, but it is an obligation. And we have rejected ads, in the past, that were not accurate. Some were turned away. Others were revised by the advertisers at our request to meet the most basic yet important of requirements, one of which is: Is it the truth? The accuracy issue, unfortunately, gets skewed in the political arena. Ads like those attacking Senate candidate Kim Simac for not paying income taxes in certain years are accurate, yet they are misleading because they are conveniently subject to misinterpretation. The ads could have read that candidate Simac didnt pay income taxes to the state because she didnt earn enough money to generate a tax liability in those years, but that is apparently too positive a message for political opponents trying to tarnish her name. So many political ads dont tell the whole story.
Life is hard, at best. It becomes steadily harder. Competition to enter the best colleges is greater. Competition to excel at them is greater. And finally, the competition for a success in any livelihood has never been so keen. It is fast becoming the world of the educated man and the definition of education becomes steadily stricter. The discipline of figuring will help him meet the competition he must face. A smart and lazy boy may be able to bluff his way through a history course, but mathematics is a lesson in life. Its something you have to face up to. Its work, and for work, there is no substitute. Some people never learn that. Of course, we want Benny to be happy. It would be an unusual parent who felt otherwise. But too many Americans have forgotten what happiness really means. In efforts to spare the children momentary unpleasantness, both parents and teachers are cheating them of their chance to be happy in the true sense of the word. At home, Bennys mother and I try to avoid overprotection and overindulgence. Were not always successful, and we hope you will be sterner than we. For, sooner To McNUTT, Pg. 15A

Traveling? Include me out

I LOVE to look at the travel section of the Sunday newspaper because all the ads for faraway places remind me of how much I like to stay home. There are so many places in the world I dont want to go that I can hardly wait for the day when I retire so I can sit home and enjoy the money Ive saved. Just for fun, I made a list of places I dont want to go: A Caribbean or a South Pacific island where beautiful women lie around on white beaches in bikinis all day. I dont mind the women in bikinis, but I dont like lying on beaches and it isnt considered polite to go just to look at the girls. A bus tour of nine countries in Europe with a busload of 37 other tourists is something I desperately dont want to do. I would pay $5,000 round trip not to go on a tour like that. I dont go on tours of anything. If I want to see something, I want to look at it at my own pace. I dont want to be told how long to look at one thing and how short a time to look at another. Please excuse me from a rafting trip down the Colorado River or camping in Yellowstone Park this summer. I spend most of my time in New York City, and if its crowds like that I want, we have them right here at home, without the flies. Ive seen those tours down the Colorado from the air and there are so many rubber rafts they could use a traffic buoy some days. Anyway, Ive gotten used to the convenience of indoor plumbing. I got camping out of my system in our backyard before I was 14. I do not wish to take an old sternwheeler down the Mississippi, retracing the course of Huck Finn. Even if its called The Belle of Louisville, I dont want to go. I do not wish to take a luxury tour of Yugoslavia, To ROONEY, Pg. 15A

Its just six weeks away

ITS POP QUIZ time. Quick, can anyone tell me what is six weeks away? Ill give you a few hints. First, it is essentially a large rectangle. How large? It is a rectangle containing 70,665 square miles. You may want to quibble on a tenth of a mile or so, but it is roughly 360 miles wide and 230 miles high. Lewis and Clark passed through it at one time, as did Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, Sieur de la Verendrye. The former you are probably familiar with, the latter quite likely not, although there is a provincial park in Quebec which bears his name. This large rectangle contains, from spring through fall, many times more ducks and geese than people. The rectangle to which I refer is
Trails & Tales

North Dakota, the place which, one week a year, is my favorite place on Earth, and that one week is just six weeks away. Many people look at North Dakota and see nothing but mile after endless mile of never-changing prairie. They wish only to be across the 360-mile width of the state as fast as their 250-horsepower steed will carry them. Not me. When I look at North Dakota, I see heaven on Earth. I see endless prairie potholes and acres

upon acres of wheat and sunflowers and canola waving in the wind. I see thousands of sparkling blue ponds surrounded by rings of 10-foottall cattails, and upon those thousands of ponds I see dark dots floating, sometimes bobbing briskly in the face of strong autumn gales, sometimes drifting languidly on waters so still every cloud, every tree, every cattail is reflected as perfectly as a posed photograph. Those dark dots, which up close are gloriously colored rafts of ducks, geese and swans are, without question, my favorite of all favored wild creatures.

OP-ED/READER OPINION
Reader astonished by guarded endorsement
Dear Editor: I am writing regarding your guarded endorsement of Jim Holperin. I was astonished by the reason for your dilemma: The struggle, though, was trying to find an acceptable reason for his decision to desert his state and district by running to Illinois. We cant. His allegiance to the teachers union and organized labor in general isnt shared by much of his constituency. The mistake was certainly enough reason for a recall, and it could cost him his seat. I have seen no facts which support the statements on which you rely: his decision to desert his state and district by running to Illinois . . . his allegiance to the teachers union and organized labor in general (as far as I know he has no allegiance to either group and this was certainly not his motivation for preventing a quorum). As another reader correctly noted: Walkers bill was a sneak attack 144 pages of new laws, introduced on Friday that he wanted passed the following Thursday (an unprecedented rush through the Legislature done without the normal public hearings and legislative debate.) It wasnt just collective bargaining changes, it was also sweeping changes to Medicaid and BadgerCare, authority to sell heating plants without bids, converting many civil service positions to governor appointees, and a host of other new laws that had nothing to do with repair of the current biennial budget. The people of Wisconsin deserved and had the right to become informed about the bills contents and to voice their opinions and concerns about it before passage. The only way that could happen was if the Democrats did exactly what they did. That was their motivation. They had no other option because we have no filibusters. Are you saying that Walkers tactics should be condoned? And that the people of this state should be kept in the dark, uninformed and without a voice, deprived of their right to share their concerns with their elected representatives? And the tactics also mean the representatives are free to act without listening to their constituents. Do you find that acceptable as well? I hope not. Public enlightTo ELECTION, Pg. 16A

North Dakota. It is the place in which I attain my true Nirvana. I could make an argument for rippling trout streams, mountain parks and isolated forests as the best places to which a person could retreat in search of soul and serenity, but when all is said and done, no place does so much to soothe my inner self look out, were going all psychobabble on you now as the prairie potholes of North Dakota. I go to North Dakota to hunt ducks and geese, and it is true that I have had my go at them many times, but after killing several hundred birds in my lifetime of hunting, I can tell you that it is no longer just the hunt that draws me to the prairie every year. You can believe me or not, but it is the gospel truth that I would make my annual journey to North Dakota even if I never carried a gun nor fired a
single shot. Fact is, I cant tell you how many afternoons I have spent sitting in my johnboat hidden in the cattails at the edge of one of my treasured prairie potholes, watching the ducks fly, allowing them to sit unmolested in my decoys, even talking quietly to them before they get wise to my fake birds and fly off once again never firing a shot. To sit there on a crisp October afternoon admiring the brilliant sheen of a mature greenhead drake mallard, or listening to the queaks and squeaks of green-winged teal, beautiful in their own right with bright green patches on their wings and slashes of bright orange along their heads, is all I need to attain total inner peace. To be sure, I shoot 15 or 20 ducks each trip to North Dakota, and I eat my fair share at the supper table each night, but for me, it is no longer the hunting and shooting that is most important. For me, the joy is in being there, watching a flock of cranes circle perhaps a mile
overhead and listening to their faint b-r-r-r-r-s and purrs drift down to me through the clear North Dakota air. For me, the beauty is in an old abandoned barn ready to collapse upon itself, a barn that would have quite a story of history to tell if one only stopped to listen. It is the unexpected pleasures that pull me back to North Dakota each October pleasures such as the bull moose that wallows through a pond not 10 yards away, or the magpie, long, beautiful tail trailing behind as it flies past a silent watcher, or the flock of sharptails flushing from cover at the edge of a field, or the snow-white pelican which floats across a pond seen only by the lone hunter hidden at waters edge. Then, too, North Dakota is the hearty natives who call the north prairie country home. They are the farmer who is ready with a warm handshake each fall when you pull in his yard, the bar and grill owner who makes the finest potato soup youve ever tasted, the guy at the local
Cenex in the town of 50 people who still has the gas pump with the rolling dial telling you how many gallons you have pumped, and all those other people strong and stouthearted enough to call North Dakota home. Their way of life is much as it was in north Wisconsin a half-century ago, when party line telephones were the norm, when tourists only came for three months of summer and when you could tell exactly what time it was on a winter afternoon by the passing-by of old George from around the lake on his way home after work. Perhaps it is because I treasure those days of my youth so much and the way life was back then, that I find my peace and my joy each year the moment I cross the Red River Bridge at Grand Forks. It is then I know I am at my home away from home again, back in the bosom of a place that, for one October week each year, is the only place I want to be. And just think: That place is only six weeks away.
Time to save entitlement programs

Letter to the Editor: How can our government say they have to look into cutting entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security? These programs have been paid for by the working people of America by having monies taken off their checks each payday their entire working life. This was supposed to be to help them in their retirement years. This goes for Medicare, also. Why isnt the government looking at all the wars they got us involved in? The monies paid out to illegal immigrants? The fraud in Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, sending jobs out of the U.S.A., saying this is good business. Look at all the tax breaks given to the big oil companies. These are only some examples how the government has and is still using monies that were supposed to take care of Social Security and Medicare for the long-range future. It seems our government has grown too big for its britches. This means they take care of themselves by not having to partake in Social Security and Medicare. They know what a mess they made of these entitlement programs. Also, none of the rules they make and/or bills they pass pertain to our government. So why not look at Medicare and Social Security? They will not have to take the cuts and/or spend more for out-of-pocket monies for Medicare. They have their own pensions and health care that they control, not the people who pay their salaries the taxpayers, us. The old saying, do as I say, not as I do. Gene Klumpp Conover as it has always been and always will be. If you can teach him what it really means to read and to write and to figure; if you can teach him that nothing worthwhile is ever attained without work; if you can teach him these things, he will be a man, and to no one will we and America owe a greater debt.
Do Vilas County citizens want ATV takeover?

Dear Editor: How can all-terrain vehicle (ATV) routes fix Vilas Countys economy when it isnt broken? According to the 2010 figures from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, Vilas is the richest county, by far, among the 27 northern counties that have ATV trails and routes. Door County is No. 1 in attracting tourist dollars and Vilas is No. 2. Neither county allows ATVs. There is no good reason to believe that over 100 miles of ATV routes will be good for business. Presently, Vilas offers something very rare and highly valued by both tourists and residents unspoiled forests and lakes and scenic back roads free of ATVs. There are many reasons to believe ATVs wont help Vilas business. In the May/June issue of Wisconsin Trails magazine, Eagle River was judged by visiting tourists to be the Best Up-North Town in 2011 and Eagle River was runner-up for Best Outdoor Activities Town. I believe allowing ATVs on town roads would betray the readers perception of Eagle River as a charming town, and Vilas economy may lose a wealth of traditional visitors, who like Vilas the way it is ATV free. If you think ATVs are good for business, look at Land O Lakes as a test case. They have an ATV trailhead with a short route to hundreds of miles of trails in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This trail-riding opportunity has not brought a business increase to Land O Lakes. Routes, roads only, without trails, do not attract tourists. Routes will be used mostly by local riders at no dollar increase. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) 2010 Wisconsin Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan divides recreation into two major groups, motorized at 15% of outdoor users and nonmotorized at 85%. Vilas continues to attract people from this large, nonmotorized group. These people want to experience our beautiful land and water propelled only by their own energy and curiosity. Their outdoor experience is diminished when ATVs are present. Promoting silent recreation like camping, swimming, canoeing and kayaking, walking and biking has made Vilas rich. Instead of adding income, ATV riders will simply displace quiet visitors, and Vilas could lose more dollars than they gain. Safety is another major concern. ATVs are licensed as off-road vehicles and do not traveled more than most people, which may have something to do with the way I feel about travel sections in newspapers. Going somewhere just to move doesnt appeal to me. Too many people are looking for some Shangri-La that doesnt exist. Many cities that used to be exciting to visit because they were so different from what were used to in America no longer are different. Theres a Shangri-La Hilton now and you can make reservations by calling an 800 number. Its coffee shop is a McDonalds franchise and everyone on the staff has to speak English so you dont have to wrestle with a foreign operate safely on blacktop roads. The ATV Safety Institute, ATV Safety.Gov, Specialty Vehicles Institute, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, (USCPSC) and UTV/ATV owner manuals and vehicle labels, all warn that these off-road machines can not operate safely on paved roads. In fact, statistics from the USCPSC show that 40% to 60% of ATV fatalities between 1997 and 2002 occurred on paved roads. With all roads and no trails, enforcement will also be a costly problem. ATVs will occupy the same lane as cars and trucks, walkers and bikers. Town and county roads are hilly, curvy, rural roads. Many of the routes pass through national and county forests. Who will prevent illegal riding on logging roads and other cleared pathways into the forests? Now, in spite of the fact that it is illegal to ride ATVs on town and county roads, ATVs are present. In 2010, the To ATVS, Pg. 16A language. At dinnertime, you can go to its famous Mr. Steak restaurant and have steak, french fries, coleslaw and, for dessert, vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. The gift shop in the lobby has every cute little souvenir youd want to bring home to anyone, so if you take the 5,000mile trip to Shangri-La, you wont even have to leave your hotel room this year. Sounds like fun, doesnt it? But as Sam Goldwyn said, Include me out. (Write to Andy Rooney at Tribune Media Services, 2225 Kenmore Ave., Suite 114, Buffalo, NY 14207 or e-mail aarooney5@yahoo.com)

Rural schools facing challenges

47.0 for others in the state. Sparse student populations result in long bus rides with net costs averaging $593 per student, or nearly 50% higher than elsewhere ($405). The report argues that these high transportation costs are forgone dollars that otherwise could be used for instruction. Wisconsins rural schools also face significant enrollment declines. Over the decade ending last year, rural student populations fell more than 14,500, or 7.5%. Elsewhere in the state, student populations were up 3.3%. WISTAX researchers point out that, with statemandated revenue limits tied to student counts, falling enrollment has adverse budget consequences. Thus, seven rural districts had lower revenues in 2010 than in 2000, and another 20 had revenues rise less than 1% per year. With relatively few students and higher per-student costs, rural districts often find it difficult to maintain efficient class sizes, especially in middle and high schools. Per-student instructional costs averaged 7.0% higher in rural schools than in their urban/suburban counterparts. Staffing was the primary reason: Student-toteacher ratios averaged 13.1-to-1 in rural districts, compared to 14.6-to-1 elsewhere. For a 500-student district, that meant it employed four more teachers than it would have if it staffed at the nonrural average, at an extra cost of about $300,000 per year. As one school official noted, a small rural district To BERRY, Pg. 16A
BY TODD A. BERRY Rural Wisconsin schools face the most difficult challenges they have encountered in half a century, yet their potential power to meet those challenges has never been less.

Now in its 79th year, WISTAX is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization dedicated to public policy research and citizen education.

The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues.

I am not a public employee. I am not a Democrat. I am simply a Wisconsin native who is incredibly thankful that Mr. Holperin and the other Democratic senators did what they did so that the people of Wisconsin could become enlightened about what was going on in their state Capitol. I have read a lot about Ms. Simac and you could have been far more accurate in your assessment of her lack of qualifications for the Senate: you chose to gloss over or ignore many of her inadequacies. I urge you to immediately amend your endorsement to give Sen. Holperin your complete and wholehearted support (and remove the allegations that he deserted his state and district by running to Illinois and was motivated by allegiance to the teachers union and organized labor in general). I hope, instead, you will print the truths I mentioned above, that Walker wanted to push through a bill without the normal public hearings and debate, a bill that included sweeping changes to Medicaid and BadgerCare, the authority to sell government property without bids, converted dozens of civil service positions to governor appointees, and a host of other provisions that had nothing to do with budget repair. I hope you will remind your readers that the people of Wisconsin deserved and had the right to become informed about the bills contents and to voice their opinions and concerns about it before passage. The only way that could happen was if the Democrats did exactly what they did. They had no other option because we have no filibusters. Susan Shoemaker Chetek and Edgerton where (59%). In addition to educational challenges, rural district operations are often complicated by less economic opportunity and more poverty. Rural Wisconsin has 57 jobs per 100 residents compared to 62 in the rest of the state. Moreover, wages average 26% less than in urban/suburban areas. Greater participation in free-and-reduced lunch programs in rural (39%) vs. other (31%) areas reflect broad rural poverty. High-speed Internet access can level both economic and educational opportunity. But a federal report shows 20% to 30% of Wisconsins rural population lack this access. The WISTAX study notes the dearth of high-speed Internet further exacerbates the problems of rural schools. Economic and educational

Vilas County Sheriff s Department received 46 ATV incident calls on their 911 line reporting illegal use of ATVs. This is close to four calls a month. Phelps has held a series of workshops to outline an ordinance allowing ATVs on town roads. They will hold a public forum Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Phelps School small gymnasium. This is your chance to have your voice heard. First it will be routes, then trails. Presently, ATV riders have 27 northern counties that offer ATV trails and routes. Why cant just one county, Vilas, be reserved for people who enjoy quiet recreation without ATV competition? If you would like to keep Vilas the way it is, serene and profitable, write a letter to your Vilas County supervisor. Let our elected officials know that the majority of Vilas taxpayers still do not want ATV routes. Sue Drum Presque Isle adversity aside, perhaps the largest problem rural school districts face is their lack of political voice. Of 33 state senate districts, only six (18%) are primarily rural. In the Assembly, only 19 of 99 (19%) districts are primarily rural.

Shocked officer fired sound shot

Dear Editor: I was shocked when I read about a Vilas County deputy shooting a citizen in the Aug. 10, 2011, paper. I was a hunter safety instructor for over 15 years and one very important rule of firearm safety is know your target and beyond. This means see and identify your target, sound shots are not permitted. No matter how scared this officer was, a citizen could have been killed. Maybe next time they will be. Jim Croker Eagle River
Stop the campaign madness

All advertising of a political nature must abide by the truth in advertising laws. We can all dream, right? Kerry Thomas Sayner

A moment in time
So there we sat, about 10 of us at 11:30 p.m. on a warm Saturday night in August. Some drank lemonade while others enjoyed a gin and tonic as we chatted quietly and watched an unusual plant open. The night-blooming cereus begins to open its blooms once a year at about 9:30 p.m. on an August evening. This friends plant had five blossoms this year and the fragrance, delicate and unique, filled the room. Since it is not entirely clear just when the flowers will open, we were put on alert for a spontaneous party so we could experience this phenomenon. When I arrived, four of the blossoms were about half open. Within the next two hours, they had almost completely opened and the room was filled with their wonderful scent. By midnight they peaked and we were told that by morning the blossoms would close, wither and bloom again next August. A short time, indeed, to show off such incredible beauty and aroma. Perhaps the loveliest part of the evening was the circle of adults quietly conversing as this plant opened to us. Sort of like watching an eclipse peaceful, quiet, lovely, grabbing a moment in time. We miss so many moments. I did not see the first hibiscus open in my yard this year. These magnificent huge red flowers To FRIEDEL-HUNT, Pg. 2B

YMCA sets after-school program

As parents look for opportunities to keep their children active and safe after school, the YMCA of the NorthwoodsEagle River Branch is preparing to provide a state-licensed after-school program at Northland Pines Elementary School. We recognize the need for good, reliable after-school care that engages kids in activities that will help develop their spirit, mind and body, explained Matt Kluetz, chairman of the Eagle River board. The after-school program will be held at Northland Pines Elementary School with activities on the playground and in a classroom. Preregistration is required. Youth development is a focus of the Y, and we strive to bring programs to our community that promote healthy habits and skills, said Nancy Ellis, branch executive director. This collaboration with Northland Pines eliminates the need for children to be transported to another location in order to participate in a program. As a state-licensed program, state assistance is available for those families meeting financial requirements. Parents interested in more information regarding this or any YMCA program can contact the YMCA of the Northwoods-Eagle River Branch at (715) 479-9500, nellis@ymcanw.org or online at ymcaofthenorthwoods.org.

The one-day gathering will be held to build awareness and to support those who have served in the Armed Forces. Allen Clark will be the keynote speaker.

Clark will be joined after a lunch break by Tim Bahr, chief warrant officer four in the U.S. Marine Corps, retired Army Individual Ready Reserve, who is the Midwest director for Vets4Vets and a Veterans Affairs peer support specialist. In his two sessions, Bahr will cover peer supports presence in recovery and facilitate a peer support session.

Art doesnt stump him

___________
BY SONIA DIONNE
FEATURE WRITER
___________
Few residents have a lumberjack history as long as Ken Schels of Eagle River. His parents were pioneers who lived in and were supported by the forest, then raised their son to respect what the forest offered. Following high school, Schels became a sawyer (one who saws timber for a living) for other employers and eventually employed his own crew. With the introduction of heavy equipment to the forest, he knew his wood-cutting days were limited. Though he had no formal art training, he loved working with his hands and knew that wielding a chain saw was in his blood. One day in the woods, I realized I didnt have a spoon to eat my lunch, so I carved one. Chain saws have always treated me well, so it was a good transition moving from sawyer to carver. I started carving presents for my dad, he reminisced. In the mid-80s, Schels began carving for a living. He is now a craftsman specializing in wood and metal sculptures, furniture, carvings and, along with his wife, Carolyn, owns KMS Limited in Eagle River. White pine is his wood of choice, though Schels enjoys working with cedar as
well. Using seven chain saws of differing sizes, he takes large cuts first, then refines his kiln-dried artwork with various hand tools. You cant relax while carving, he cautioned. I respect the saws and know what they can do. Im a one-man carver, so if I get hurt, my business stops. If I get tired, I stop and return to the job the next day. That also allows me to look at the carving from a fresh perspective. Public demand for both custom and creative metal and wood art changes periodically. Im too limited if I work with only one material, so economically, I must be diversified, Schels stated. His work is on display during warmer weather near Sundstein Road across from the fairgrounds in Eagle River. Additional creations are online and at his shop. Schels starts with an idea then makes the wood or metal into something feasible which is also a work of art. I like to make dreams become reality for people. As far as wood is concerned, Im lucky to be able to use something from nature and make it into something usable for man, he concluded.
Knitting group schedules meeting

Northwoods Knitters and Purlers will hold a meeting Monday, July 25, at noon at Woodruff Town Hall, located on Highway 47 in Woodruff. The meeting is open to all who have an interest in knitting and offers something for everyone from beginner to advanced. This months program will feature a potluck lunch. The group also has an active community knitting program that helps with needs throughout the North Woods area. For more information, call Carol at (715) 453-8055.
Over $20,000 awarded in Klondike scholarships

Klondike Days executive director Christine Schilling announced that the 2011 event allowed the group to surpass the mile marker of more than $20,000 in scholarships given to local graduating seniors. One of the greatest things that Klondike Days is able to do is to donate back to the community that we live in, said Schilling. The successful 2011 event allowed us to give a scholarship to all students who applied for it, which has happened only four other times since the inception of the scholarship program, she added. All of the students who apply are required to find three individuals to work with them for Klondike Days to assist in an area that is in need of volunteers. All the applicants have been very involved in the community and did an exceptional job. We are very happy to reward all four with a scholarship to help to further their education, stated Schilling. Recipients and their college of choice this year were: A.J. Zayia, Ripon College; Hillary Chang, UW-Madison; Rachel Hess, Boston College; Taylor Ridderbusch, Carthage College; Mya VanderBloomen, UW-Stevens Point; Alex Hegeman, UW-Platteville; and Bridgette Darton, Carroll University.

Friedel-Hunt:
handmade items made by area seniors. You arent going to find any items like these anywhere else, and the prices are very reasonable, said Joyce Nelson, craft shop chairman. She said that there are many repeat customers every year and many patrons have positive comments on the wide variety of items for sale. The shop is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily during the summer months through Cranberry Fest weekend in October. After that, the hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. According to Nelson, vendors must be a member of Senior Eagle River Volunteer Enterprises Inc. and also work at the shop.
Church to hold variety show

FROM PAGE 1B
First Congregational United Church of Christ will hold its second annual variety show Wednesday, Aug. 24, at 7 p.m. at the church, located at 105 N. First St. in Eagle River. The show will include singing, dancing, comedy and instrumental music offered by local artists. Admission to the show will be one nonperishable food item for the Vilas Food Pantry. A freewill offering during the event will be donated to Northwoods Alliance for Temporary Housing Inc. For more information, contact show director Carmen Domek at cdomek@yahoo.com or call the church office at (715) 479-8501.
Nelson said she feels that this gives seniors something to be involved in both at home as they make their crafts and by interacting with the shoppers while they work at the store. In addition to their crafts, the Schellingers deliver meals to homebound seniors through the Vilas County Commission on Agings homedelivered meals program. They volunteer for three routes, delivering 10 to 20 meals on a weekly basis and said they meet many seniors in need of help. The couple have been married for 63 years. They have four children, 11 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren more reason to stay active in retirement.

Commission on Aging seeks volunteers for home-delivered meal program

The Vilas County Commission on Aging is seeking volunteer drivers to deliver meals at least two days a week for its home-delivered meal program. According to nutrition coordinator Susan Richmond, the program for approximately 45 shut-in elderly in the Eagle River area is more than just a meal. The drivers are not just delivering a meal but a service. They check on the recipients to make sure they are doing well and the drivers are a link to the outside world. Volunteer drivers are not paid for their time, but do receive mileage reimbursement. Richmond stated, Our drivers are invaluable to us. I wish we could pay them because they are worth far more than the mileage reimbursement we are able to give them. We could not operate this program without our dedicated volunteers. Kalmar Senior Center sends out meals five days a week and has three routes. It takes a volunteer about one and one-half hours to do a route. One perk is the delicious meal waiting for the driver when they return to the Kalmar Center after completing their route, added Richmond. For more information, contact Richmond at (715) 4793625.

These exercises can reduce the risk of falling by improving participants strength and balance. We are fortunate to have supportive community partners who volunteer their expertise to make this program effective for the older adults in our community, said Oneida County Department on Aging program coordinator Sue Piazza, Case Social Worker Enrollment for the program is limited to 12 and preregistration is required.

Three Lakes Historical Society to wrap up summer programs

As the Three Lakes Historical Societys 2011 summer programming approaches an end, two educational events remain for the public. Storyteller and historian Jerry Apps will host a presentation on cheese making Thursday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. and appraiser Mark Moran will look at antiques Tuesday, Aug. 23, from 6 to 9 p.m. Both events will take place at the Reiter Center, located at 1858 Michigan St. in Thre Lakes. Details for the two events are as follows: Cheese program Award-winning Wisconsin author Apps will talk about the history of cheese making in Wisconsin. A professor emeritus of UW-Madison, Apps has written more than 30 books, mostly about rural history and country life, something Apps is familiar with since he was raised on a Wisconsin farm. He understands the back roads and souls of many who grew up in rural Wisconsin like I did, said Linda Goldsworthy of the Three Lakes Historical Society. The photos and stories in one of his most popular books, Barns of Wisconsin, really demonstrate this ability. Using his storytelling abilities, Apps recounts European histories in the book and reflects on the disappearance of Wisconsin barns. Im looking forward to learning more about something that isnt disappearing from our countryside, said Goldsworthy. Cheese making, unlike barns, seems to be a flourishing, not vanishing, Wisconsin tradition. Following Apps presentation, 10 winners will be drawn for the Three Lakes Historical Societys cash raffle fundraiser, which supports the efforts of this nonprofit organization. The event will be free to the public and refreshments will be served. Antique appraisal For those who enjoy TV shows such as American Pickers, Antiques Roadshow and Pawn Stars, the Three Lakes Historical Societys final event of the sumAward-winning Wisconsin author Jerry Apps will talk about the history of cheese making in Wisconsin this Thursday at the Reiter Center in Three Lakes. --Contributed Photo

Despite light rain in midafternoon, the 55th annual Phelps Volunteer Fire Department picnic and pig roast was billed as another success Aug. 6 as volunteer firefighters served more than 1,000 meals from noon to 9 p.m. The event was another huge boost for our fundraising effort, which this year is geared toward helping us to buy a new pumper tanker to replace the current tanker, which has been in use for the last 30 years, said Fire Chief Steve Waier. All of us men and women who make up our firefighting unit express our thanks and appreciation to the folks who turned out to enjoy our pig roast, Waier continued. We carved up and served more than 800 pounds of roast pig. The slight rainfall was not a deterrent, because at Wavering Park we are fortunate to have a first-class pavilion. The winners of the four biggest raffle prizes included Lois Laux of Waupaca, who won the Jensen-Akins $500 appliance gift certificate; David Johnson of Phelps and Mark Specht of Sherwood, who won $500 Phelps Bucks certificates; and Richard Schultz of Phelps, who won a Sharp television.

Our firefighters, with a big assist from the emergency medical technicians who vol-

As always, we express our sincere thanks to the Phelps merchants who donated prizes to our annual raffle.

Fashion show plans under way

St. Germain Womens Service Club will hold its 33rd annual fashion show Tuesday, Sept. 20, at Whitetail Inn, located on Highway 70 West in St. Germain. A social hour will begin at 11 a.m., lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m. and the style show will follow. Show organizers shared that there will be a new look to the show this year including a different menu. This years theme is Toast to the Northwoods. The show is the groups largest fundraiser of the year. Tickets are $20 and will be on sale until Sept. 12. For more information or to purchase tickets, call Janean at (715) 479-4642, Karen at (715) 542-4377 or Sharon at (715) 477-2308.
The St. Germain Town Board was told there is about $6,300 in the bike and hike trail account from donations, which will be put toward maintenance of the trail. Mark Hiller, chairman of the bike and hike trail committee, said a good system needs to be in place for maintenance on the trail. He said the finishing touches on the trail extension include placing more rock by the boardwalk to help with erosion and looking into marking the trail with mile markers, spray paint or with some other means. He said this would help emergency medical personnel locate people who need help on the trail. Direction from the town board (on maintenance) would be really appreciated, said Hiller. The town board decided the Public Works Committee can determine a suitable amount to be allocated for maintenance of the trail. Hiller said the committee has $2,400 remaining in grant money. When the $2,400 is gone, $47,000 can be requested from the Stewardship fund, which is the other 50% of the first fund that the committee has not yet received. In the bike and hike trail committees last meeting, they passed a motion to extend the trail to Old Highway 70. There is $17,000 remaining in the second stewardship grant for this project. Hiller said the committee is still waiting to hear from the DOT regarding the bidding process and the issuing of a permit. He brought it up to the board so that the town
would be aware of it before any action is taken. Also, a citizen suggested that the committee erect signs requesting bikers to use the bike trail instead of the road for safety. Transfer station The town board heard an update on the transfer station from town Chairman Walt Camp, who said the transfer station hours and what will or will not be accepted are going to be posted on the towns website. Starting Sept. 1, the St. Germain trash bags will no longer be accepted because Eagle Waste is now involved in operating the transfer station. It will cost $3 for a bag that weighs 30 pounds or less. Camp said a new traffic pattern is going to be implemented soon. Traffic at the transfer station will move in a V, with one-way traffic and two lanes. An attendant will assist persons who need help unloading their trash bags. Were trying to make it more acceptable for everyone out there, said Camp. Committees reports The town board was told that the Friends of the Old School and Red Brick Schoolhouse Inc. will both be dissolved, and a new group, called Supporters of the Old School, will take their place. This group is hoping to eventually become a committee of the town board. In a related matter, Camp said he is in the process of forming a new town committee called the St. Germain Historical Committee. The Public Works Committee chairman reported that town road maintenance is continuing. Juve Road, Muskel-
lunge Creek Road and Capman Road are getting seal coated the third or fourth week in August. The handicap door access to the St. Germain Community Building has been installed and is in working order, and the hand driers have been installed in the St. Germain pavilion. In addition, the town soccer field is being reseeded once again. It was suggested that the portable toilets the town purchased for Vandervort Park need to be accompanied by a portable toilet that is handicap accessible. The town has been approached by the town of Cloverland to ascertain if St. Germain would be interested in snowplowing Cloverlands roads for a fee. The board didnt decide anything regarding this at this time. At a full council meeting of the Landfill Venture Group which Camp attended, the town of Watersmeet, Mich., requested to join the group. Camp said he voted against this because the towns that are already part of the group paid a large sum to join, and he did not think Watersmeet should join late and get in for no additional fee. He said the issue will be coming back to the town board. Golf course Supervisor Lee Christensen reported that when the weather is favorable, the golf course has had good attendance. The greens are finally beginning to mend from winter damage, and Christensen predicted that by the end of the season, they should be nearly 100% back to normal. The golf course committee had meetings to discuss the
courses financial situation. There will be no prebuying of chemicals and fertilizers this year, and they will be purchased on an as-needed basis. The courses revenue is down approximately $100,000 from what was projected in the budget. At this time, the golf course can make its payments until October, at which time the town should have taken action on refinancing the bond issue. The committee discussed incentives to encourage play at off-peak times. It was mentioned that the computer software should be ready for next year to enter tee times online. Other business In other business, the town board: tabled a discussion on the towns grievance procedure/resolution until the town receives direction from the Towns Association; passed a motion to accept bids regarding the towns insurance; and passed a motion that the budget repair bills Wisconsin Retirement Deduction be deferred until the end of the present contract for the town crew and golf course, and until the end of the present term for elected officials.
