Teachers say
Walker’s plan

But governor claims bill

While Gov. Scott Walker expected on the bill Tuesday

announced a plan last week
that would erase almost all
collective bargaining rights
for most public workers as a
way to shore up the state’s fi-
nances, educators say the
budget repair bill will hurt
local schools and the economy.
The bill would require the
vast majority of state, local
and school employees to pay
half the costs of their pensions
and pay at least 12.6% of their
health insurance premiums.
Police officers and firefight-
ers would be exempt from the
proposal.

Walker released the details
of the plan last Friday to re-
pair the state’s $136.7 million
budget shortfall. But educa-
tors say the proposal will take
a toll on Wisconsin’s public
employees and their families.
“Gov. Walker’s attack on ed-
ucators and the union that
supports them will directly
harm the quality of our schools
and the education our children
receive,” said Alan Tulppo, a

Championships on Dollar
Lake in Eagle River last
weekend not only provided
a big economic boost to the
North Woods, but the event
brought national media

The sixth annual pond

record 250 teams playing
452 games on 24 rinks over
a three-day period on the
lake just east of Eagle
River.
“It again brought thou-

Vilas crash
The Vilas County Sheriff’s
Department said a male
snowmobiler died following
an accident on Big St. Ger-
main Lake about 2:29 p.m.
last Friday, Feb. 11.
According to authorities,
the man was operating a
snowmobile at a high rate of
speed on the lake when he
struck a snow mound and was
ejected from the snowmobile.
He was transported to
Howard Young Medical Cen-
ter with severe injuries and
he later died. The name of the
victim is being withheld pend-
ing notification of family
members.
The St. Germain Fire De-
partment and First Respon-
ders, Plum Lake EMS, Oneida
County Med 5 Ambulance,
Vilas County Sheriff ’s De-
partment and the DNR re-
sponded to the scene.
The crash is under investi-
gation by the DNR and Vilas
County Sheriff’s Department.
According to the state
DNR, there have been at least
nine deaths in Wisconsin dur-
ing the 2010-’11 winter snow-
mobile season. The two deaths
here last week were the first
two of the season for Vilas and
Oneida counties. There was
previously a death in Iron
County.
Warm conditions Saturday

high temperatures in the

“Taking away the union’s
role in support of teachers will
mean class size, curriculum,
school funding and employee
salaries will be dictated by
state politicians without any
input from teachers and sup-
port staff in the classroom with
our students,” said Tulppo.
Fred Andrist, UniServ di-
rector, said Walker’s bill will
take Wisconsin in the wrong
direction and hurt schools,
families and communities.
“Attacks on teachers and
other public employees will
only serve to divide the state
and prevent us from working
to move our state forward.”
Andrist said the governor is
wrong to suggest that public
workers are responsible for
the state’s budget woes.
“His proposed budget re-
pair bill will devastate the fi-
nancial security of public em-
ployees in northern Wisconsin
by millions of dollars,” said
Andrist. “This is money that
will not be spent in our local
stores, restaurants, gas sta-
tions or on entertainment.”
But Walker’s office says the
state is facing a fiscal crisis
with its anticipated $136.7 mil-
from agency budget requests.
“Without taking action to
reduce the deficit in the current
fiscal year, thousands of Wis-
consin children and families
could lose their health- care
coverage through BadgerCare,
and there would need to be
even more aggressive spending
cuts in the future,” said Werwie.
“Repairing the current bud-
get will send a clear message
to employers that the state is
serious about getting its fiscal
house in order, which is key to
growing jobs, reviving our
economy and making sure the
world’s job creators know Wis-
consin is open for business,”
said Werwie.
Responding to the governor’s
plan, the Wisconsin State AFL-
no public input or discussion,”
provides services to local
unions and legislative action
with its 1,000 affiliated
unions which represent
250,000 members in the state.
The AFL-CIO advertising
campaign calls Walker’s pro-
posal “unnecessary and un-
fair” and urges people to call
legislators to tell them to stop
this “radical government
takeover of the rights of gov-
ernment workers.”
Meanwhile, the president
of the Wisconsin Education
Association Council (WEAC),
said the governor’s plan was
an attack on dedicated educa-
tors across the state.

merce & Visitors Center.
Jake Alward, owner of
Chanticleer Inn and host of
the tournament, said the
economic impact was huge.
“I think it went fabu-
lously. With 1,750 skaters
plus family and friends in
town, we have a few thou-
sand people here for three
days,” he said. “I talked to a
lot of different people
throughout the weekend
and they were in the
restaurants, stores, bars
and gas stations.”
While every business
probably didn’t see an im-
pact last weekend, Alward
said there is a trickle-down
effect resulting in mer-
chants spending money in
other businesses the next
couple of weeks.
The event is billed by
USA Hockey as taking
“hockey back to its roots,”
with players coming from
more than 20 states to play
four-on-four hockey on a
lake — just as many did
when they were young. Al-
ward said the camaraderie
among hockey players is
unique.
“Everyone I talked to
this weekend said that all
of the players had a smile
on their face. That is what
makes this event so great,”
said Alward. “Plus, it’s well
run by USA Hockey and all
the volunteers who put it
on. People can’t believe
that Eagle River can put on
an event of this magni-
tude.”

The pond hockey cham-
pionships also picked up
some valuable national
media attention, including

and a film crew from NBC

“While the production

Hockey Day in America
is scheduled to air from 11

“The Eagle River seg-

The local organizations
that played a major role in
the tournament included

Publisher Kurt Krueger, Ed-
itor Gary Ridderbusch and As-
sistant Production Manager
Betsy Bleicher received the
awards, which included first-
place plaques for All Around
Newspaper Photography and
Best Photo Essay.
Of the newspaper’s photo
content, the judges said: “Vilas
County stood out with the
number of pictures, size and
quality. The good use of pic-
tures really grabs the reader.”
The award-winning photo
essay, submitted by Krueger,
featured a front-page spread of
large wildlife photos that ap-
peared in June 2010.
The judges said: “Absolutely
stunning photography, and
we’re suckers for animals! Nice
print quality; the simple and
clean layout attracts the eye.
This was a tough category, but
it caught our eye again and
again.”
The News-Review won a
second-place award for its cov-
erage of the AMSOIL World
Championship Snowmobile
Derby in the Special Projects
category, which seeks to recog-
nize the paper that best uses
all facets of newspapering to
cover an event.
The judges wrote: “It is evi-
dent that this event is some-
thing everyone looks forward to
year-round. I am very im-
pressed with the photography,
for one thing. It provides nu-
merous opportunities for great
photos, and you have definitely
captured that. You have done a
great job covering this event,
beginning many weeks in ad-
vance. I like how you incorpo-
rated the past winners, predic-
tions and even editorial com-
ment about the event. Not
knowing anything about the
area or event, I feel like I at-
tended after looking through
all of your coverage. Congrats
on a nice project. Your hard
work paid off as you put togeth-
er an impressive piece of work.”

Along Highway 70 West
City council to seek grants
for sewer, water extension
___________
BY KEN ANDERSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT
___________
The Eagle River City Coun-
cil will seek grants for extend-
ing sewer and water lines along
Highway 70 West to serve prop-
erties and businesses recently
annexed into the city and for
the reconstruction of Silver
Lake Drive.
While the total project costs
are anticipated to be
$1,455,129, the net cost to city
taxpayers, if grants are ap-
proved, is much lower, accord-
ing to city administrator Joe
Laux.
The city portion for all the
projects could range from
$109,000 to $119,000, but it
has the potential to be addi-
tional properties on the proper-
ty tax roll through annexation.
Laux said the design work is
completed for running sewer
and water to the Dolezal pellet
plant and the city is ready to
apply for a Community Devel-
opment Block Grant (CDBG).
“With an 8-inch sewer and 8-
inch water line, it would open
up the area,” said Laux.
The area Laux referred to
includes a proposed 41-lot resi-
dential development south of
Highway 70 and east of Oak
Drive referred to as the Winter
property. The property once
was used as a golf driving
range.
The residential streets
would become city-owned and
would be 50 feet wide rather
than 66 feet. The justification,
according to Laux, is there
would be no sidewalks and
more of the property could be
used for lot size and placed on
the tax rolls.
While the proposed develop-
ment currently has access from
Highway 70, it is anticipated
the state Department of Trans-
portation would not allow an
access off the four-lane high-

Extending sewer and water

Total estimated cost of ex-

“It’s been a challenge for

The estimated total cost to

the requested grant it could
lower to $49,070.

Senate bill should alarm hunters, anglers
IT APPEARS some lawmakers
want to change the way we do
business in Wisconsin when it
comes to setting the hunting, fish-
ing and trapping regulations that
guide our beloved outdoor tradi-
tions.
Lawmakers are proposing to
mandate that an economic analy-
sis be done on every proposed reg-
ulation change, and the bill goes so
far as to require consultation with
every business owner or individual
who may be affected.
If you can believe it, adjusting a
fishing regulation would require
direct consultation with every re-
sort and campground, riparian
owner, bait shop, boat dealer, local
unit of government and angler
who “may be affected.”
Good luck ever changing a fish-
ing or hunting regulation again, if
this bill becomes law. And when
they start telling us we have to
consult the antis, because they
may be affected, it could be the be-
ginning of the end for these out-
door sports.
I wonder if Republicans hell-
bent on stripping authority away
from the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) really want to
cripple a process that is so incredi-
bly open to public scrutiny — high-
lighted by the annual Conserva-
tion Congress Spring Hearings
held in every county of the state
on a Monday night in April.
This is where consultation with
everyone who may be affected by a
regulation change has always

taken place, and it’s been working
for decades. So why fix something
that’s not broken?
Under this bill, eight detailed
components would be part of the
economic analysis. One mandates
that the state determine whether
the proposed ruled would adverse-
ly affect the economy, a sector of
the economy, productivity, jobs or
the overall economic competitive-
ness of the state.
In other words, science, biology
and what’s right for the critters in
the long term may suddenly be
taking a back seat to economics. It
would be a new direction for Wis-
consin — a concept that defies the
state’s long-standing conservation
ethic.
And it could, taken to the ex-
treme, jeopardize natural re-
sources such as clean air and
clean water for the sake of
short-term economic benefits.
Critics of Special Session Senate
Bill 8 say such a requirement
would make the adoption or
changing of the regulations virtu-
ally impossible, regardless of
whether the changes are based on
sound biological reasons.
The Wisconsin Wildlife Federa-
tion, the state’s largest conserva-
tion organization, is especially con-
cerned that this “consultation”
could be used by anti-hunting, -
fishing and -trapping groups to
bottleneck and legally challenge
the adoption of future regulations.
Imagine trying to win approval
for any statewide regulation in-
volving deer hunting. Whether it’s
Earn-A-Buck or something to do
with baiting rules, the bill would
require the DNR to consult with
more than 600,000 gun deer
hunters, 200,000 archery deer
hunters and thousands of motels,
restaurants, gas stations, sport
shops, bait dealers and virtually
every local unit of government.
As you know, Republicans are in
charge of the capital and both
houses of the Legislature after last
fall’s election. The worry is that an
imbalance of power means no
checks and balances, and that the
party in power will push through
whatever legislation it wants.
It becomes clearer to me every

fuse the terms conservative and
conservation. The first is a politi-

Stamp funds Fishing with

now available
for habitat
Applications to fund habitat
work by conservation organi-
zations and government agen-
cies to benefit wild turkeys,
pheasants and waterfowl are
now available from the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
(DNR).
The applications are due
March 28, 2011, for work to be
done in 2012 and 2013.
Funds raised through the
sale of wild turkey, pheasant
and waterfowl stamps and a
portion of the Conservation Pa-
tron license are made available
to conservation organizations
and units of government.
Eligibility information and
criteria, application guidance,
and more information can be
found on each of the species
pages on the DNR website at
dnr.wi.gov. Funds may be used
only for developing, managing,
preserving, restoring and
maintaining the wild turkey,
pheasant and waterfowl popu-
lations and their habitat in the
state.
“Since their inception, mil-
lions of dollars of wild turkey,
pheasant and waterfowl stamp
funds have been awarded to
conduct habitat management,
research and outreach that
benefits the species, their habi-
tat and the people who enjoy
hunting and viewing them,”
said Scott Walter, the DNR up-
land wildlife ecologist.
Currently, 60% of pheasant
stamp funds are directed to the
State Game Farm, which an-
nually produces pheasants for
release on public hunting
grounds. The program provides
additional pheasant hunting
opportunities.
A stamp is required to hunt
wild turkeys, pheasants and
waterfowl in the state of Wis-
consin. Many stamp collectors
also purchase the stamps, and
stamp design contests are held
each August to determine the
design of the upcoming license
year’s stamps.
On average, the wildlife
stamps receive annual rev-
enues exceeding $300,000 for
pheasant, $750,000 for wild
turkey and $550,000 for water-
fowl.

Winter Severity Index shows
North at ‘mild’ level for deer
___________

Wildlife experts are moni-
toring the effects of weather
conditions on the state’s north-
ern deer herd using a system
known as the Winter Severity
Index (WSI) — and so far
things look pretty good, accord-
ing to a Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) biologist.
The index uses a combina-
tion of cold temperatures and
snow depths during the winter
to measure the likely health of
the deer herd heading into
spring.
DNR biologists and other
department staff add the num-
ber of days with daily low tem-
peratures below 0 degrees
Fahrenheit (F) and the number
of days with 18 inches or more
of snow on the ground.
Up to 50 combined points at
the end of the winter is consid-
ered mild, from 51 to 80 is con-
sidered moderate, 81 and high-
er is considered severe, and
any totals more than 100
points are considered very se-
vere.

that allow good deer move-
ment, according to Mike Zeck-
meister, DNR northern region
wildlife biologist.
“About half of our stations
are reporting winter points
over 20; the other half are 20 or
less,” Zeckmeister said. “What
stands out this winter is that it
started early. We have had
below-average low tempera-
tures and snow depths have
just hovered below the 18-inch
reporting level at many sta-
tions up to the end of January.”
In this area, the WSI calcu-
lated through January ranges
from 16 in Eagle River to 18 in
Alvin and Rhinelander to 38 in
Mercer. Cold temperatures last
week added to those numbers.
Zeckmeister said most sta-
tions will add cold tempera-
tures and snow days to their
reporting this winter.
“Depending on what hap-
pens for the rest of the winter,
we could go either way. We will
factor all of this in, including
the final winter severity, when
we set deer quotas later this
spring,” he said.
Zeckmeister said the

the biologist said, “and we saw
a very early spring green-up
that provided sustenance for
pregnant does, insuring a
healthy fawn crop.”
In addition, last summer’s
ample rainfall provided good
growth of summer vegetation
that helped deer build up fat
reserves for this winter, he
said.
“Our November deer har-
vest trimmed the herd in most
areas and that means fewer
deer having to compete for
winter forage,” he said.
“Too many deer going into a
winter can seriously degrade
winter browse and cover that
can take years to recover and
hinder overwinter survival of
deer,” said Zeckmeister.
Wildlife managers are cur-
rently studying deer popula-
tions and planning for the 2011
deer season. Public meetings
will be held with citizens in
March to discuss the condition
of the deer herd and prospects
for next fall’s season.
Zeckmeister said that peo-
ple interested in deer and pro-
posals for next fall’s deer sea-
sons should watch for an-
nouncements of these local
meetings.

Warmer temperatures
bring out the anglers
Wow, what a difference a week makes — from ex-
treme cold last week to almost springlike weather
Saturday and Sunday.
The conditions on the ice now are pretty good, with
the snow packed down somewhat and plowed trails on
many lakes. In addition, the fish are responding to
warmer weather by becoming much more active.
It’s hard to believe, but the balance of winter is now
on the downside. The days are getting longer, the sun
is getting warmer and the average daily temperature
is sneaking toward the 30-degree mark — even 40 de-
grees this week. This doesn’t mean that the snow and
cold weather are done for the season, but it does mean
more nice weather than bad from this point forward.
Walleye fishing was much improved through the
weekend, with some nice fish reported especially from
the bigger lakes. The lakes had a lot of anglers on
them, so there was more information coming in. Tip-
up action was reported with some nice fish being
caught on North and South Twin lakes. The main dif-
ference in action is that the walleyes seem to be feed-
ing earlier on these clear lakes, so action is starting in
the afternoon. As always, use either sucker minnows
or medium shiners.
Northern action is good now, with many fish being
caught on tip-ups in the weeds. These fish really re-
sponded to this warmer weather and a lot were
caught on the weekend, including some good-size fish.
Large shiners, as usual, are the bait of choice for these
aggressive fish.
Panfish activity has improved this week also.
Some nice bluegill action has been reported on many
of the darker lakes. The trick is to find those bigger
gills. To do that, anglers have to drill a lot of holes and
move around. Perch action, especially on wigglers, has
been good in the afternoon on many of the clear lakes.
Anglers are fishing in deep mud flats for perch. There
have not been a lot of reports about crappies, but the
best crappie action is ahead — usually in March.
With the warm weather predicted for this week, it’s
a great time for ice fishing.
Good luck and good fishin’.

Conditions were near per- temperature peaked at near

fect as more than 1,700
hockey players converged on
Eagle River for the sixth an-
nual Labatt Blue USA Hock-
ey Pond Hockey Champi-
onships on Dollar Lake in
Eagle River Friday through
Sunday.
Tournament officials said
a record 250 teams played
452 games on the Dollar
Lake ice.
Ashley Bevan, director of
adult hockey for USA Hock-
ey and tournament director,
was smiling from ear to ear
when he talked about the
tournament Sunday after-
noon.
“Absolutely phenomenal,”
is how Bevan summed up
the tournament Sunday af-
ternoon. “You couldn’t ask
for better weather. You
couldn’t ask for better par-
ticipants. And the number of
people who came out to this
event from the town of Eagle
River was just great. Every-
thing was fantastic. You
couldn’t ask for more.”
Bevan said it was unbe-
lievable that 452 games
could be pulled off on 24
sheets of ice in three days
with very few problems.
“Everything went real
well. The volunteers were
great all weekend. We had
plenty of officials and score-
keepers and everyone was
been on time,” he said.
The 4-on-4 tournament
got under way Friday morn-
ing with clear skies and the
temperature near 15 degrees
below zero. Light winds pre-
vailed Friday, keeping it
pretty cold for players and
spectators throughout the
day. But Saturday the high
32 degrees, and Sunday
turned into a beautiful day
with a high temperature of
44 degrees.
“A little bit of snow on
Friday really capped off the
afternoon games,” said
Bevan. “It was the most pic-
turesque thing I have ever
seen. It was fantastic.”
Bevan said the tourna-
ment attracted teams from
25 states and three coun-
tries. Three huge blue-and-
white tents line the east
shore of Dollar Lake, provid-
ing a colorful scene for play-
ers and spectators.
“It was a great scene, es-
pecially for all the newbees
that came out here for the
first time,” said Bevan. “A lot
of those new teams were just
wide-eyed kids out there
while they were playing. So
it was great.”

keep tabs on the score of that,”
said Pines coach Charlie
DePuydt. “At this point, we
needed Tomahawk to either
win or tie the game. If Toma-
hawk won, we would tie Toma-
hawk in total points and be co-
conference champs with Toma-
hawk. If they tied, we would
then tie Waupaca for total
points and be conference co-
Eagle beat Edge,
champs with Waupaca.”
However, the Eagles got one
better when they found out
that Waupaca had to forfeit a
conference win (against Med-
ford) and even though the
Comets beat Tomahawk, Pines
ended up winning the confer-
ence.
“All of this was found out
right at the end of our game,”
said DePuydt. “What a senior
night to remember for our very
dedicated group of seniors.”
Pines finished the regular
season with a solid 8-3 victory
over Rhinelander on senior
night.
“We had heard that
Rhinelander had outshot
Lakeland prior to them play-
ing us, so from a coaching staff
point, we needed to remind our
boys that they needed to stay
focused in this game,” said
DePuydt. “We did that and we
did it pretty well.”
Tyler Christensen got Pines
started with a great shot beat-
ing the goalie right on the ice.
Pines quickly added another
from Leif Offerdahl to go up 2-
0. But Rhinelander didn’t back
down and quickly added two
goals to tie the game. Pines got
its third goal from Austin
Ramesh before the first period
ended to make it 3-2.
“We got into a lot of penalty
problems in the game which
forced us to kill penalties for
the majority of the second peri-
od which we did very well,”
said DePuydt. “We did not
want practice in that aspect of
our game. However, we did get
better at that.”
Pines got three goals in the
second period, as Jay Shifra
got the first and Ramesh the
next two to give the Eagles a 6-
2 lead.
Ramesh got his fourth goal
just 13 seconds into the third
period and Pines got another
tally from Shifra to make the
final 8-3.
Jacob Stephan had 17 saves
for Pines, including nine in the
second period when the Eagles
took five penalties. A pair of
Rhinelander goalies made 30
saves.
Beat Medford 9-1
Pines started the week with
a 9-1 victory over Medford last
Tuesday.
“This was a challenging
game heading into the end of
our season because it would re-
ally test our discipline as a
team,” said DePuydt. “Medford
was having their senior night
and we knew that they were
going to play very hard and
that is what they did.”
Pines jumped out to a 3-0
lead on goals by Offerdahl,
Dylan Weber and Matt
Kaitchuck in the first period.
Medford tallied its only goal in
the first period against
Stephan, who finished with 11
saves.
Pines tallied three more
goals in the second from Adam
Kresl, Logan Croker and Mike
McDonald to make it 6-1.
The Eagles put the game
away with three more in the
third, including two more from
Croker and one from Brandon
Hunt — giving Croker a hat
trick for the night.
“It would have been nicer to
head into a game that was a
little more challenging for the
sake of playoffs, but this was
the challenge we had at the
end of our season and we had
to make the best of it and we
were proud of the boys for stay-
ing disciplined,” said DePuydt.
Pines must now prepare for
post-season play. The Eagles
are seeded fourth in the WIAA
Sectional and will host the
winner of the Merrill (12th
seed) and D.C. Everest (fifth
seed) game this Thursday, Feb.
17, at the Dome starting at 7
p.m.
The winner of Thursday’s
game will likely face top-seed-

seed) and Lakeland (eighth
seed) game.

Presently, more than 150 runners are already entered.
Journeys Marathon, voted one of the top five “Best-
kept Marathon Secrets” by Runners World magazine,
will again take place in the beautiful North Woods and
offers something for everyone — competitively and non-
competitively.
The marathon and half-marathon are USATF-certi-
fied courses and the full marathon is a qualifier for the
Boston Marathon. Events include a 26.2-mile full
marathon, a 13.1-mile half-marathon and power walk, a
5-kilometer run and a fun run for children 12 and
younger. All races are open to runners and walkers, ac-
cording to chamber events coordinator Kim Emerson.
“Journeys Marathon offers an inspirational, unique
and breathtaking course, which starts with the wood-
land backdrop of Boulder Junction on rustic roads, while
meandering through the Northern Highland-American
Legion State Forest and past many scenic northern Wis-
consin lakes along the way to the finish line in
Riverview Park in Eagle River,” said Emerson.
This event will kick off with an all-you-can-eat
spaghetti dinner and race registration/packet pickup at
the Northland Pines High School Friday, May 13, from 5
to 9 p.m. On Saturday, May 14, the full marathon will
start at 8 a.m., the half-marathon and power walk start-
ing at 9:15 a.m. and the 5-kilometer run at 10 a.m. The
children’s fun run will start at various times beginning
at 10:30 a.m. and continue through 1 p.m.
The post-race celebration will again be held Saturday.
It’s a great time for runners to share their success and
race stories of the day with fellow racers, family and
friends.
“This event is a fun-filled evening designed for relax-
ation and camaraderie with a hot buffet dinner, musical
entertainment, many door prizes and much more,” said
Emerson.

The Northland Pines girls
hockey team finished its regu-
lar season schedule with a con-
vincing 7-0 win over the
Northern Edge, a struggled on offense in the sec-
Rhinelander/Antigo co-op
team, last Friday.
The Eagles took 59 shots
against the Northern Edge,
while allowing a mere eight
shots on Pines goalie Kim Van
Brunt, who recorded her 10th
shutout of the season.
The first goal for Pines
came just 17 seconds into the
game on a goal by Whitney
Richards, assisted by Paige
Healy. Senior captain Andrea
Sergent scored at 7:19 of the
period, with assists going to
Rachel Hess and Kelly McGin-
nis.
Healy then scored her first
of three, assisted by Richards.
The last goal of the period was
scored by Richards, assisted by
Healy.
Coach Al Moustakis said it
took more than half the season
to find the right combination of
players.
“Since the Sergent, Healy
and Whitney line was formed,
they have simply been on fire,”
he said. “This line, or at lease
two-thirds of it, was on the ice
for all seven goals in this
game. When this line is on the
ice, they seem to know what
each other is thinking and the
results are a lot of scoring op-
portunities.”
The second period didn’t see
many Eagle goals, but plenty
of saves by the Northern Edge
goalie as she made 20 saves in
the period and allowed one
goal by Healy, assisted by Ser-

The Northland Pines boys
basketball team beat Niagara
57-33, but lost to Three Lakes
45-34 in a pair of nonconfer-
ence games last week.
Pines jumped to a 17-5 lead
against Niagara, but only led
22-8 at the half as both teams
ond quarter.
Both teams scored 13 points
in the third quarter, but Pines
had a 22-12 advantage in the
fourth quarter to win by 24.
“This game was a lot closer
than it should have been as we
made only 11 out of 29 shots
within 6 feet of the basket,”
said Pines coach Ryan Clark.
“Our offensive execution was
very good, but we should have
finished in the 70s if we made
some of those easy shots.”
Clark said the Eagles had
17 rebounds and 16 assists.
“The players are really
starting to learn how to play
hard by diving on the floor for
loose balls, taking charges and
crashing the offensive glass,”
said Clark. “There is nothing
more pleasing to watch than a
group of kids that plays hard
and plays together.”
The Eagles also were solid
on defense in the first half, ac-
cording to the coach.
“Defensively, we executed
our man defense about as well
as a team could in the first
half,” said Clark. “Niagara had
the ball 28 times in the first
half, and they scored on just
three of them. As the coach,
that was the most pleasing
statistic of the game.”
For the Eagles, senior Taylor
Ridderbusch had a game-high
20 points. Senior Peter Shar-
row had 19 and junior Cody
Drake had 12.
“The player who really
stuck out in this game was
Brandon Clark, as he pulled
down a team-high and career-
high 12 rebounds,” said coach
Clark. “Brandon’s role on this
team is all about defense, re-
bounding and screening, and
he did a terrific job in this
game. We are a pretty good
team when Brandon is a ball
hawk on the glass.”
Freshman guard Cooper
Kerner registered his first var-
sity point as he hit a free throw
in the second half.
“Cooper has the potential to
be a really good player in this
program, but it will all depend
on how much time he devotes
in the off-season,” said the
coach.
Loss at Three Lakes
Pines also travelled to Three
Lakes Friday, but the Bluejays
got the 11-point victory.
The Eagles took a 9-8 first-
quarter lead as Sharrow hit
two 3-pointers and a free
throw for Pines. Ross Thorn
had six points for Three Lakes
in the opening period.
Three Lakes switched its
defense in the second quarter
and held Pines to just four
points, while scoring 10 of their
own to take an 18-13 half-time
lead.
Pines outscored the Blue-
jays 8-7 in the third to close the
gap to 25-21, as the Eagles’
Zach Tucker hit two 3-point
shots.
But in the fourth, Three
Lakes outscored Pines 18-13 to
get the win. The Bluejays
made eight of 14 free throws in
the fourth quarter to seal the
victory. Cole Griesbach had
nine points in the fourth quar-
ter for Three Lakes.

The Northland Pines girls
basketball team beat Niagara
59-42, but lost to Ashland 47-
34 in a pair of nonconference
games last week.
In the win over Niagara,
the Eagles got off to a slow
start, trailing 6-0 against the
Badgers’ half-court trap de-
fense.
“Once we got organized, we
made a run ourselves and
ended the quarter tying the
game at 12 apiece,” said Pines
coach Rick Mai. “In the second
quarter, things got a lot better
and the press was not a factor
anymore.”
Pines outscored Niagara
20-11 in the second quarter as
the Eagles finished the half
shooting 12-25 from twos and
2-4 from the 3-point line.
“Going into the third quar-
ter, we wanted to stay with
our same defensive scheme,
hoping to wear down their
point guards,” said Mai.
As the third quarter wore
on, it was having an effect as
Pines ended the third quarter
up 50-31. In the third, Kelsey
Bergum, Courtney Weber,
Bridgette Darton and Emily
Cropsey each hit a 3-pointer.
Niagara outscored Pines
11-9 in the final period, but it
wasn’t enough and the Eagles
got the victory.
Bridgette Darton led Pines
with 11 points and four.
Cropsey had 10 points and
four rebounds. Carly Bohnen
had 10 points and 10 re-
bounds. Abby Alft had eight
points and four rebounds.
Courtney Weber had six
points and four rebounds.
In the Ashland game on
Friday, the Oredockers
jumped out to a 12-6 lead.
“We did a nice job shooting
in the first half, going 4-11,
but the problem was we only
got 11 shots up against Ash-

Lady Knights lose two games

Phelps lost 44-27 to Good-
man-Pembine last Monday be-
fore suffering a 51-39 loss to
Crandon last Friday night in
two Northern Lakes Confer-
ence girls basketball games.
Phelps played well in the
first quarter against Crandon,
shooting five for 12 from the
field to keep the game tight,
as they trailed the Cardinals
14-11.
Turnovers were an issue in
the second quarter, and the
Lady Knights allowed Cran-
don to go on a run. The Cardi-
nals outscored Phelps 15-5 in
the second to hold on to a 32-
16 halftime lead.
“Crandon is the type of
team that is going to make
you pay for turnovers,” said
Phelps coach Josh Olivotti.
“And they did with great pass-
ing and continual looks within
their offense. Our response to
their run was simply not there
in the second quarter.”
Phelps’ play improved in
the second half. The Knights
were spurred on by the
strongest rebounding effort of
the season, and the team’s
ball movement was stronger.
Phelps topped Crandon in the
third, gaining three points
back heading into the fourth
quarter, to bring the score to
41-28.
Phelps finished the game
well, outscoring Crandon
again in the final quarter, but
the points weren’t enough to
overcome the gap.
“We need to show maturity
and toughness as a team for
four quarters if we want to
put some marks in the win
column,” said Olivotti. “Ashley

of body contact and effort.
Stormy continues to improve
and this was arguably her
best performance of the sea-
son.”
Wesenberg was the leading
scorer for Phelps with nine
points and 11 rebounds.
Schreiber contributed eight
points and eight rebounds.
Volkmann had seven points,
13 rebounds, three steals and
two assists.
Against Goodman-Pem-
bine, Phelps only had 11 field
goal attempts in the first half,
largely due to a lack of pene-
tration to the basket and
weak rebounding. However,
the Lady Knights were still in
the game going into halftime,
as they trailed Goodman-
Pembine 17-10.
The Knights committed
several offensive fouls in the
second half and resorted to
outside shooting until the
Pines:
in every facet of the game.
“I give their kids and pro-
gram a lot of credit, as they do
a tremendous job of perform-
ing under pressure and raising
their level of play to the stage
of the game . . . the bigger the
game, the better they play,”
said Clark. “That’s a mindset
that we haven’t acquired yet.
We have four games remaining
to find the courage to execute
and perform in a big game set-
ting.”
Pines had 22 turnovers, six
more than their season aver-
age, and mustered only six of-
fensive rebounds.
Sharrow finished with a
team-high 17 points. Ridder-
busch had eight and Tucker
six. Brandon Clark pulled
down a team-high six re-
bounds.

Kids campaign
The YMCA of the North-

and families in need, so that
they can participate in YMCA
programs and services.
“At the YMCA of the North-
woods, we count on the gen-
erosity of our donors and vol-
unteers to make a meaningful
impact on our community,”
said Kathy Powers, Strong
Kids campaign chairwoman,
YMCA of the Northwoods.
“We believe that lasting per-
sonal and social change can
only come about when we all
work together to invest in our
kids, our health and our
neighbors.”
Last year, financial support
made it possible to subsidize
more than 1,000 individuals
and families who otherwise
could not afford a member-
ship.

Plum Lake to seek loan
for fire truck, equipment
___________
BY VERONICA OLSON
NEWS CORRESPONDENT
___________
The Plum Lake Town
Board approved seeking a
$50,000 loan for a pickup
truck and firefighting equip-
ment at the town board meet-
ing last week.
Fire Chief Kevin Ras-
mussen explained that the
Plum Lake Fire Department
received bids from both Par-
son’s Chevrolet and V&H Ford
for different trucks.
Rasmussen said that most
emergency medical services ve-
hicles are Fords and that most
run on gas, not diesel. The bids
for the fire trucks ranged from
$26,000 to $36,000. He said the
fire department also would
have to spend $5,000 to $8,000
on equipment or accessories for
the truck.
Town Clerk Sharon Brook-
er will contact the state trust
fund and First National Bank,
the two entities where the
loan would come from, to
check interest rates before a
final decision is made on
which loan to accept.
An update also was given
on the anticipated increase in
price for fire numbers. The
board was told the price will
have to be raised from $30 to
at least $50 per address.
Brooker said she was given
figures from Lange Enterpris-
es that one sign would cost
$26.90. Shipping charges for
one sign would be $12. The
price for posts for the signs

eration to produce heat pellets and provide
up to 25 jobs to the community.

a quote of $3,290 for replacing
the 13 receptacles.
It was concluded that the
receptacles will need to be re-

lop.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by
all.
Roll call: Burkett (by phone), Schaffer,
Hendricks. Supervisors in attendance were
Laux, Vander Bloomen and Brown. Meadows
was absent.
Motion by Hendricks, 2nd by Schaffer to ap-
prove minutes of previous meetings. Carried.
Discussion and possible action on the fol-
lowing agenda items: St. closing/temporary
sign/amplification/display of goods permits
1) Festival of Flavors Motion by Burkett,

Gail Newitt, president of the E.R. Business
Association, addressed the council and ex-
plained the Eagles of Eagle River Raffle will
be held on July 9th. On behalf of the E.R.
Business Association they are dedicating the
eagle at City Hall to the city of Eagle River.
Three Eagle Trail project - re: Grant man-
ual and associated training program. Joe
Laux will be attending training on Thursday.
A group from here is going to another train-
ing session. Mike Robelair showed a break-
down of the town of Three Lakes hours on
the Three Lakes Trail portion for 2005 and
2008. Only 31⁄2 hours of administration during
this time by the town of Three Lakes. There-
fore there would be a minimum time com-
mitment by the city. They will meet on the
17th at City Hall at 7 p.m. to discuss
fundraising. They have already raised about
$42,000 - roughly 1/3 of their contribution.
Festival of Flavors: 1) Use of Riverview
Park. 2) Use of property north of the bridge
along Michigan Street 3) Use of wastewater
treatment plant parking lot 4) Waive direct
sellers permit for festival 5) Approve picnic
license. Burkett informed the council he vol-
unteers running the sound for this event but
does not receive any form of compensation.
Motion by Hendricks, 2nd by Burkett to ap-
prove Festival of Flavors request. Carried
with Schaffer abstaining.
Dolezal & 70 West project and Silver Lake
Road project:
1) Set public hearing dates.
2) Engineering for sewer, water, storm
water, road reconstruction and bike/pedes-
trian path
3) Project bidding
4) Project funding and grants.
Joe Laux explained he would like to apply
for Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funding for this project. Net costs
estimates from $47,069.74 to as much as
$149,378.96. Dolezal & 70 West has already
been designed by MSA a few years ago. Laux
had received an estimate to just serve
Dolezal from a local contractor which was
higher than $25,000 which puts us in prevail-
ing law and bidding statutes. This would
provide an 8" sanitary sewer to Dolezal and
open up acreage there to extend this line
and also an 8" water line.
Highway 70 West - Joe Laux has looked for
a variety of grants but he cannot secure a
grant for this project. We could special as-
sess the property. Laux has discussed with
Mr. Winter about going under the road to his
property on the north side of 70. This project
would get us out to Nero’s. Winters has pro-
vided a preliminary plat of his acreage for a
subdivision with 41 lots, mostly residential,
with a few commercial lots as well. He is
talking about starting this out with just a
few lots to see how it goes. The Dept. of
Transportation will probably not allow ac-
cess out on 70 but would most likely ask
them to exit out Oak Drive. Streets are pro-
posed to be 50 foot instead of 60 foot. Joe
Laux feels these would work fine. Project ap-
proximate cost is $330,000.
Silver Lake Road. We have had dialogue
with the utilities. We received a $168,000
grant which pays for 50% of the street recon-
struction. This project potentially could be
eligible for CDBG funding for sewer and
water. We qualify for CDBG due to approxi-
mately 60% low to moderate income in our
area. We could receive more than 30% CDBG
up to as much as 50%. $168,000 unfunded
portion would be split by 1/3. So between
$28,000 to as much as $39,200 depending on
CDBG funding. Politicians are indicating
now is the time to go for block grants before
they disappear. In 2013 our other debt ser-
vice will come due. We could possibly roll
some of this into that re-financing. Probably
would do a note anticipation note until 2013.
In 2014 the wastewater treatment plant will
be paid off. Have to move within 90 days on
CDBG grants. MISIP - D funding can be put
off a little longer. Jim Bollmann explained
we can opt out of the CDBG. It would be a
stretch to get Silver Lake Road done in 2011
anyway. 70 West could be done. We would
have to have public hearings and pass a res-
olution saying we are committed to the pro-
ject. They will do their analysis and we can
back out if it is not looking good. We should
also have some dialogue from USDA soon.
USDA loans would be for 40 years. Estimated
total project cost is $924,850.
Dolezal is getting CDBG money for this
project. Dolezal has applied for a SBA grant
and he is waiting to hear on it. His hope is
late summer, early fall to open. Discussion of
what size sewer and waterline to Dolezal. We
may need to re-evaluate this at some point.
Estimated project cost of $149,278.96. Discus-
sion of waiting until Dolezal hears on the
SBA loan. Go ahead and get the public hear-
ing set and get the notices out.
City Hall humidifier update and plumb-
ing. Everything is satisfactory except men’s
room hot water. The copper plumbing for
that area is embedded in a concrete wall and
the copper is eroding. The hot water is
cooled rapidly by the cold wall. This needs to
be bypassed. Original estimate was $1300.
Frasiers will split the cost in half. At some
point this would probably end up to be a

2010 budget adjustments. Motion by Bur-
kett, 2nd by Hendricks to approve. Carried

Pursuit of Vilas County tax delinquency
acquisition of Pride property/city partner-
ship/site assessment grant. Joe Laux ex-
plained that the Pride property is tax delin-
quent. Vilas County has postponed proceed-
ing with foreclosure on this due to an envi-
ronmental study with possible contamina-
tion. We have the ability to move forward
with the tax delinquency and get cleanup
help. Vilas County is interested in working
with us to approach this project. Joe Laux
has had dialogue with MSA and the DNR
and there are quite extensive liability tools
for local governments. We will be exempt
from the liability as long as we did not con-
tribute to the contamination. Do we want
Laux to pursue this? We can apply for
grants. Tax delinquence can be our part to-
ward the grant. Bob Egan has indicated that
he would be very interested in working with
us on this. If this is severely contaminated
we will have the option to stop and so will
Vilas County. Council directed Laux to con-
tinue to work on this. Area is blighted and is
a hazard. Schaffer informed council she
works for Northwoods Title and does the
title work on the foreclosures.

Burkett, 2nd by Schaffer to approve. Carried
on roll call vote.
Update on sale of Tamarack Business Park
lot sale. Paper work is done by Northwoods
Title. $200 for paperwork and $100 for policy.
Will close on Thursday. Very low charge by
Northwoods Title and the council thanked
them.
Approve payment of the bills. Motion by
Hendricks, 2nd by Schaffer to approve pay-
ment of the bills. Carried on roll call vote.
Burkett abstained.
Administrator’s Report. No discussion
Golf Course Report. A special committee is
looking at policy for money and records for
the benefit of everyone that is a part of the
golf course.
Police Chief Reports. Chief Vander
Bloomen reported Tess Nycz is back to work.
Public Comments. Ken Anderson request-
ed mayor to find some time before noon on
Friday to get a picture with Gail Newitt and
the mayor by the eagle.
Bill Doerr would like to address an issue
on the city fluoridating the water. They are
now concerned with there being too much
fluoride in the water and foods. City should
look at the smallest dose possible. Tina
Doerr explained she had researched this
years regarding the ill health effects of over
fluoridization.
Motion by Schaffer, 2nd by Hendricks to
adjourn at 7:05 p.m. Carried.

Gov. Walker’s bill
won’t fix state budget
Dear Editor:
Let us suppose that you dis-
like your neighbor’s dog. He
barks at you when you go to
the mailbox, but does nothing
illegal or unsafe.
Most people would simply
ignore the dog or talk to their
neighbor about it. However,
you decide as the newly elected
mayor, that to solve the prob-
lem, you are going to declare
that all dogs have rabies, and
thus need to be put down. This
will not only solve your prob-
lem, but will keep all people
from getting rabies. Sounds
perfect! Unfortunately, this
does not address the raccoons
and bats that carry rabies, and
causes harm to all of those who
enjoy dogs or need them for as-
sistance.
This story is exactly what
Gov. Walker is proposing with
his “budget fix” bill. Invalidat-
ing the collective bargaining
rights of unionized employees

As Wisconsin strides to-

OP-ED/READER OPINION
It only is meant to punish peo-
ple who did not support Walker
in the last election (notice who
is exempted, groups that sup-
ported him). The state workers
are the servants of Wisconsin,
and they do a variety of neces-
sary jobs including driving our
children to school, guarding
our prisons, and taking care of
the sick at the UW Hospital.
They are not the snarling pit
bulls that Walker is making
them out to be and, most im-
portantly, they did not cause
the budget problem.
Talking to your neighbor
about your problems is always
the best course of action, and
Walker needs to man up and
talk with those whom he dis-
agrees with to solve Wiscon-
sin’s problems, not bully inno-

the only ones to shoulder the
burden to fix it.

Penalizing educators will not fix budget crisis
Dear Editor,
I am writing in regard to the
proposed budgetary fix bill. I
feel that Gov. Walker is offering
the residents of Wisconsin a
short-term fix for a long-term
problem.
A valid point was made that
it is the high cost of health in-
surance that is driving up the
cost of paying state, county, ed-
ucational and protective ser-
vices employees. If you have
never seen a projected health
insurance cost chart in compar-
ison to a wage chart, I would
highly recommend it. It is in-
teresting how the cost of health
logical advancement in the
workplace, career and tech-
nical education makes eco-
nomic sense.
For both traditional stu-
dents looking for their first
career opportunities and
returning adult students
who need to acquire new
skills for a changing work-
place, career and technical
education offers training
and skill development to
help graduates compete in
the knowledge economy.
In honor of the February
observance of Career and
Technical Education
Month, let us recognize
how important career and
technical education is to job
creation and a brighter em-
ployment and economic fu-
ture for Wisconsin.

Amy, concoctions like banana

Like gelatin shots, pudding

course, had some kind of ba-
nana liqueur, raspberry, some
kind of raspberry liqueur and,
well, you get the idea. Amy is
especially fond of adding
vodka to those liqueurs, a con-
siderable amount of vodka of
various colors and flavors.

Merely penalizing teachers,

employees more will not fix the
root cause of this aspect of the
budgetary crisis. Give health
insurance a few more years to
keep going up and you will
have to penalize educators, and

again. If you really want to fix
that aspect of the budgetary
crisis, work on a way to bring
the cost of health insurance
down. This will benefit all the

usual skills during World War
II from people who knew
what they were doing, and
did it while risking their lives
every day.
I particularly remember an
incident in Germany. When I
first went overseas with the
Army, I was assigned to a
field artillery regiment. The
job of rolling a 2,000-pound
artillery howitzer into proper
position for firing in the right
direction took all the strength
and skill our eight-man team
could muster. I had to learn
quickly how to get the job
done. My superiors trained
me on the job — and they did
Fortunately for me, I was
not fishing and didn’t have to
worry about celebratory pud-
ding shots, although in the in-
terest of full disclosure, I did
test out one of each variety of
the pudding shots and found
them to be entirely satisfacto-
ry.
As usual at the M/W patty,
there was a large sampling of
everything from appetizers to
main courses to try out.
Two 8-foot tables were
groaning under the weight of
salads, Karen’s best brownies,
a really, really good chocolate-
and-nuts bar, a slow-smoked
beef brisket brought in by
newcomer Terry, two kinds of
burrito fillings, chili that
would take the hair off a griz-
zly bear and my own
sausage/duck breast German
potato salad.
Wild game is always big at
this party, and this year was
no exception. Max had goose
chunks grilled on a stick, and
other chefs provided various
styles of kabobs featuring wild
turkey, duck and venison.
There was delicious home-
who have been giving wage and
insurance package concessions
for years. We have done this
through the collective bargain-
ing process because the educa-
tors realize that there is an eco-
nomic crisis and realize that
concessions must be made.
This collective bargaining
process allows the educational
professionals, the education ad-
ministrators, and the school
board members to discuss the
economics of the local school
district and apply the give and
take that is necessary to meet
budgetary constraints. If this is
being done on the local level be-
tween the concerned parties,
why must the state take this
over? I feel that this is an exam-
ple of more government control.
Perhaps fixing the educa-
tional funding process would be
a good place to start. The school
districts in this area receive a
paltry amount of state funding
(if any), so why must the em-
ployees in this district be pe-
nalized? Why should the con-
trol of our local dollars be re-
moved because the state can’t
balance a budget?
This is not my fault. This is
a good job.
Once the howitzer was in
position, four of us had to
load a 500-pound missile into
the breech. The field artillery
was one of the least-satisfy-
ing experiences of my life be-
cause we fired all the time at
what we thought was the
enemy, but never knew
whether or not we hit any-
thing.
After firing across the
Rhine at what we thought
were German positions, one
bridge was left standing. The
most frightening experience
of my life was running across
that wavering bridge with
German artillery shells plop-
ping into the water all
around us. If one of them had
hit the bridge, I wouldn’t be

Generators powered up two
roasters and a bunch of slow
cookers, so the food stayed hot
and delicious all day. Let me
tell you, this is no amateur op-
eration.
Under the direction of
Kathy McCaughn, the party
could serve not only as the
model for the TV series but, in
fact, provide footage for an en-
tire first season of the show.
This I can say with certain-
ty: anyone wandering by the
party — which is “the” social
event of the season for many
of the attendees — could not
have left hungry, and if they
did, it was their own fault.
Oh, and by the way, not
only can this bunch eat, they
can occasionally catch a fish as
well. My good buddy Dave

coming year, be known as the

this area and it is not the fault
of the county and state workers
in this area. Penalizing educa-
tors and state and county
workers will not fix the root
cause of this budgetary crisis. I
don’t understand why the con-
trol of local tax dollars should
be removed to balance the state
budget.

Public workers made to look like villains have gone amuck with power
Dear Editor,
Now that Wisconsin has
Gov. Walker, public workers
are being targeted with an un-
usually high amount of nega-
tive comments in media out-
lets throughout the state, in-
cluding northern Wisconsin.
Public workers are being
made to look like villains
rather than the hardworking
people providing daily vital
services. Negative commen-
tary attacks their pension
plans, health insurance and
wages, but never talk about
collective bargaining or the
positive impact public work-
ers have on the economy and
our everyday life.
Media cheerleading is with-
out doubt designed to urge
politicians to continue the
anti-worker philosophy being
transmitted from the gover-
nor’s office.
Never mind that state
workers already have seen
their long-frozen earnings cut
by the imposition of unpaid
furlough days. Never mind
that for years they’ve given up
wage gains — at the urging of
their employer — in exchange
for hanging onto decent bene-
fits for their families. And
don’t think about the apples-
to-apples studies showing
that public employees already
are making less than compa-
rable private- sector workers.
Our state’s budget prob-
lems are not the result of pay-
ing public workers. In order to
get a clear picture, one can re-
view the recent Wall Street
debacle. Nursing aides and

Our state elected officials
other public employees mak-
ing modest hourly wages did-
n’t cause the recession. Food
inspectors and people who
make sure you aren’t cheated
at the gas pump are already
doing more with less. Public
employees in Wisconsin al-
ways provide excellent ser-
vices for the pay they earn.
Where were these media
cheerleaders and anti-worker
proponents when the fat cats
on Wall Street were being
bailed out with public money?
Forcing these hardworking
people to pay more than a fair
portion for health care is just
another way of cutting their
pay. Reducing the pay for
frontline workers doesn’t
build a stronger economy.
There are those who em-
brace the so-called “right to
work” legislation. This should
send a chill down the spine of
anybody who understands the
stakes of joining this race to
the bottom. It is the right to
work for less for private as
well as public workers!
So, we can sell ourselves
short and try to solve our eco-
nomic problems by taking
wages and benefits away from
people who are living pay-
check to paycheck. Or we can
aim higher and build on our
strengths and past invest-
ments: a strong transporta-
tion network, natural re-
sources that others envy and
a well-educated workforce
that is very productive.

Dear Editor:
On Feb. 11, when Gov. Walk-
er shared his budget repair bill,
he stated that asking public
employees to pay more for their
pension and health care were
modest, reasonable changes.
But he failed to give you the
rest of the story.
Gov. Walker has expressed
that he wants to give school
districts and municipalities the
flexibility to deal with his up-
coming biennial budget. This is
why his budget repair bill at-
tacks public unions to the point
that they are unlikely to exist
for long, should his bill pass the
state Legislature.

to uphold the state’s commit-
ment to municipal revenue
sharing and two-thirds funding
for public schools in his upcom-
ing budget. Cities, towns, vil-
lages and school districts will
face even larger budget deficits.
Public employers will have
the ability to cut deeper into
employee benefits, which ulti-
mately will mean less take-
home pay.

again. These “contributions”
from the employees will be fill-
