As Gov. Scott Walker signed into law the 2011-13 budget which is expected to balance a $3.6 billion deficit, two North Woods legislators had different views on the package. After eight weeks of consideration in the Joint Finance Committee and a combined 22 hours of debate in the Assembly and Senate, the 2011-13 state budget was signed by Walker June 26. State Rep. Dan Meyer (REagle River) said legislators and the governor did their job because the budget solves a $3.6 billion budget deficit and leaves a proposed $300 million balance going into the 2013-15 budget. For a long time, it has been the habit of the state to push costs off or use one-time funding for ongoing costs, causing the next budget to be in the red
before its even written, said Meyer. Meyer said the budget decreases net taxes by $23 million and permanently caps property taxes. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimates property tax adjustments are expected to remain under 1% in each year of the 2011-13 biennium. The budget passed by the Legislature also reduces borrowing by $415 million in comparison to Gov. Walkers original budget, said Meyer, who supported the budget. While Walker signed the two-year $66 billion budget, he also vetoed 50 items in the budget bill. Holperin votes no State Sen. Jim Holperin (DTo BUDGET, Pg. 9A

In a nearly fatal incident in Ontonagon, Mich., Eagle River resident Dale Safer recently rescued a Tomahawk man from the frigid waters SAFER of Lake Superior after the man had fallen between his sailboat and the pier at a marina. Safer, 59, was working to take his 1967 28-foot sailboat on its first voyage since he bought it five years ago. He
and his girlfriend, Shelly Stalnaker of Three Lakes, were the only others on the pier when the incident occurred Sunday evening of Memorial Day weekend. Safer got his boat into the water earlier that day, paddled it into his assigned slip and booked a mechanic to fix its auxiliary motor. He and Stalnaker planned to spend the night in the docked boat. I went to use the head in the holding tank, said Safer. But I went to pump the thing To SAFER, Pg. 4A

A modified redistricting plan for Vilas County supervisory positions has been sent to all county municipalities from the countys Redistricting Committee, along with a deadline for creation of wards. Redistricting occurs every 10 years after the census is finalized to comply with the one-person, one-vote concept, where each supervisor across the county represents approximately the same number of residents. Population changes in the county indicated the need to adjust supervisory district boundaries. While the largest percent gains in population were in Presque Isle, up 20.47%, and Lac du Flambeau, up 14.55%, the largest loss of
residents were in Winchester, down 15.64%, and Manitowish Waters, down 12.38%. While rural areas may be allowed a population deviation between districts of up to 10%, the proposed plan has a deviation of 17%, according to Andy Faust, of North Central Regional Planning. A number of town officials objected to the initial redistricting plan, but the county committee made minor modifications and rejected major changes, particularly in the town of Arbor Vitae, where officials there proposed reversing districts 6 and 7. By making the shift they wanted, it would put the deviation at 20%, said Faust You had a motion not to go higher that 17%.
Committee member Supervisor Jim Behling agreed. Any deviations made need to reduce that 17%, not increase it, said Behling. I dont think weve got justification to increase it. The committee set a policy and those who objected were here when we made that policy and I see no reason to change it. Minor modifications were made to the city of Eagle River, but involved only two persons, and a minor modification was made for a small triangle in the Highway 51 corridor. Ward creation Municipalities have until July 21 to adopt ward boundaries. Wards have to be created whenever the population
exceeds 1,000, according to Faust. When more than one county supervisory district bisects the municipality, wards must be created regardless of the population. Ward boundaries should be adopted by municipalities by local ordinance or resolution. Failure to adopt wards will shift the responsibility to the county. If this happens, Faust said the county can place ward boundaries where they want, in order to build the supervisory districts. Vilas County will need to ratify its final redistricting plan by Aug. 21 and submit it to the state no later than Sept. 21, 2011. The new districts will be in place for the next county board election in April 2012.

Internet and cellular service information available all in one location, said Kwaterski.
While the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service claims that two species of wolves, the gray wolf and eastern wolf, may inhabit Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) official says there is no evidence of a separate population of eastern wolves living within the Western Great Lakes (WGL) region. DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp, in a letter to the wildlife service concerning the new proposed rule to remove wolves from the federal endangered species list, said the wolves need to be delisted as a single species in the region, as they were when originally listed under the Endangered Species Act more than 30 years ago. We support the delisting, but we have concerns as to whether the Fish and Wildlife Service is using the newest and best available science to support the delisting, said Stepp. We have a lot at stake here and we are counting on the service to put the best and most defensible delisting rule forward. We hope they will take our comments seriously as they publish their final rule. Public comments on the proposed rule had to be submitted by July 5. The USFWS knows that, genetically, we have the same wolves here today as we did when they were first listed, said Stepp. We also know that our wolf population estimates are solid. Stepp also noted that Wisconsins wolf plan and goals are peer reviewed and are supported by the public. Its estimated there are about 800 wolves in Wisconsin. We have exceeded our delisting goal eight times over. It is time to return management to Wisconsin, said Stepp. A recent petition of Wisconsin residents supporting delisting of wolves collected more than 37,000 signatures. In hearings held in every Wisconsin county on April 11, 2011, a question of support on federal delisting was favored 4,402 to 526, passing in all 72 counties. The DNR has supported the delisting of gray wolves in the WGL states since it was first recommended for the region in 1998, and believes wolves are fully recovered in the region and are no longer in need of federal Endangered Species Act protections. The wolf was removed from Wisconsins state endangered list. Federal delisting would return management authority to the states and tribes.
We are committed to longterm conservation of wolves in the state, said Kurt Thiede, DNR Land Division administrator, but we need authority to use all available means in addressing problem wolves, including lethal control, to maintain widespread popular support for wolves in Wisconsin and to provide livestock and dog owners relief from wolf depredations on their animals. Wolf numbers Wisconsin wildlife officials estimate the states gray wolf population at the close of the 2010-11 winter was between 782 to 824 animals, roughly a 13% increase over the 200910 end-of-winter estimate. This is probably more wolves than have existed in the state since the 1800s, according to officials. The annual winter wolf count relies on aerial tracking of radio-collared wolves, trail cameras, and snow-track surveys by DNR and volunteer trackers. Also included are wolf sightings by members of the public. The agency has conducted these counts since the winter of 1979-80 when there were 25 wolves in the state. A total of 202 wolf packs were detected in Wisconsin during the winter count, consisting of at least two adult wolves each. Biologists found 44 packs distributed across central Wisconsin and 158 packs in northern Wisconsin. The largest packs in the state were the Moose Road pack in Douglas County and Fort McCoy pack in Monroe County with 12 wolves. At least 47 packs had five or more wolves in them. Although there have been some indications in recent years that population growth of the Wisconsin wolf population had started to slow down, surveys from winter 2011 indicate the population is still growing at a significant rate. In 2010, the Wisconsin DNR initiated a Web notification of all wolf attacks on dogs for hunters and others concerned about wolf depredations. People can have their email address added to the notification list by going to the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov.

have said. He was hardly talking, said Safer. I ran and got an eight-foot boat hook and reached down there with it, hooking him by his vest. I dragged him out from under that pier section and over toward the deck slip where there was a ladder. The ladder, however, had only a single rung submerged because of the low water level. The remaining rungs were too high for Bailey, who was losing strength. He hung onto the top rung of the ladder and I ran over to my boat and grabbed one of my mooring lines from off the boat, said Safer. Im a tree climber, so I tie good knots. I tied a noose and threw it down over him. I got it over one arm and up against the shoulder of his other arm. Safer pulled the knot tight and anchored himself on the top of the ladder, pulling Bailey up, hand over hand. I pulled him up as far as I could, then I told Shelly to grab his legs, he said. She pulled his legs up, and then I rolled him over backwards onto the pier. As they waited for the ambulance to arrive, Safer took Baileys shirt and vest off and wrapped him in his sleeping bag. Medical personnel said later that Bailey had suffered pneumonia and a mild heart attack as a result of the incident. He was also undergoing chemotherapy treatment at the time. I fished his medications out of the lake, said Safer. He wasnt in good shape. After spending three nights in the hospital, Bailey, in a thank-you letter to Safer, said that he was in better condition. Theyre treating me with antibiotics, and I am scheduled to see some heart specialists in the future, said Bailey. I will never stop thanking you for being there and hauling me out.
and it was spraying all over. I decided to go talk to the harbor master and also get a key for the bathroom. This was at about 6 p.m. On his way to the marinas bathroom, Safer encountered the man he would later save, Mike Bailey of Tomahawk. Going down the pier, I met an older gentleman, he said. We just said hi and bye like you always do. Then I went sprinting off to the bathroom. When Safer returned from the rest room, he spotted Stalnaker on the deck of his boat. It was starting to get dark, and I was surprised she was out on the deck because she had been reading before, he said. I looked at her and she had this questioning look on her face. She said she thought she heard something, but wasnt sure what. Amidst the clamor of the wind, waves and creaking boats, Safer said it wasnt that alarming to hear a strange noise. However, the couple heard something else that moment that would surprise and unnerve them. I was going to jump in my boat to work on something else, and I heard someone faintly say, Help. My girlfriend heard it, too, said Safer. According to Safer, there was no one else but Bailey at the pier. The couple began to look between boats and under the dock. I looked down there and saw this white boat bumper, said Safer. I thought it was a duck at first. I looked again, and it dawned on me that it was a person. So I said, just a minute, Ill help you. Due to the low water level, Bailey earlier had constructed a plank to get himself down to the deck of his craft. As he was crossing the plank that evening, it snapped, dropping him 8 feet into Lake Superior. The bottom fell out from beneath him and he banged himself up between the pier and the boat, falling in the water between the two, said Safer. Luckily for him, one of the boat bumpers came down with him and he was hanging onto it and staying afloat. Safer began to work on getting Bailey out of the cold water. Lake Superiors water temperature was below the 50degree mark. In those conditions, hypothermia could set in within 30 minutes, authorities

Three different but similar proposals toward a county grievance policy required under the state budget repair bill were discussed by the Vilas County Transition Committee last week, with a goal of having a final document ready in August to be presented at the September county board meeting. Committee Chairman Jim Behling said the time line is now set and we have no buffer, referring to the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling on a 4-3 vote that the repair bill was legally approved. The bill requires units of government that do not have a civil service system to establish a grievance procedure for its public employees. That procedure must contain, at a minimum, a grievance procedure that addresses employee terminations, employee discipline and workplace safety. The bill took away most collective bargaining rights for public workers. The written document must include: a process the grievant and employer must follow; a hearing before an impartial hearing officer; and an appeal process of which the highest level of appeal is the governing body of the local governmental unit or, in this case, the full county board of supervisors. Committee members Sig Hjemvick and Edward Bluthardt, Jr., each presented drafts for consideration. Hjemvick outlined a four-step process, while Bluthardt drafted a nine-step process. Attorney Andy Phillips, consultant to the committee,
the grievance would be forwarded to the Personnel Committee if it relates to termination or to the county Safety Committee if it relates to workplace safety. The committee then went through a decision tree related to specific steps in a grievance process that supervisors want included or excluded. Work on this will continue, according to Behling. Employee advocate Supervisors Bob Egan and Linda Thorpe drafted a proposal for duties of an employee advocate who would assist fellow employees in dispute resolution. The goal would be to come to a resolution beneficial for both parties. Supervisor Erv Teichmiller said it was not the duty of the advocate to come to a resolution, but to guide the employee through the process. Phillips said the title of advocate wasnt the right word and that ambassador was better. While the employee ambassador would need the approval or authorization of their supervisor, the issue might arise if a supervisor unfairly says no, and that could become a grievance issue, according to Behling. Egan supervisors would revise some of the language and would include a selection direction for employees. In other action, the committee agreed to continue holding its meetings in late afternoon, so employees could attend even though the number of employees present has gone from a high of 40 down to 10 last week. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, at 3:30 p.m. at the courthouse in Eagle River.

drafted a decision tree whereby committee members could accept or reject certain aspects of the process. Bluthardt said definitions were an important part of the draft document and defined termination as separation from employment for disciplinary or quality of performance reasons. He used a sixpart process starting with a verbal discussion of the dispute with the supervisor who made the decision, followed by a written grievance submission, an administrative response, establish an impartial
hearing officer, an appeal to the county board, and a final county board decision. Even during the process with the impartial hearing officer, there can be reconciliation, he said. Bluthardts draft encourages a conciliation meeting and requires such a meeting if the grievance involves workplace safety. Hjemvick also had reconciliation in his draft, completed with either the department head or the human resource administrator within 10 working days. If unsuccessful,

The next Vilas County highway commissioner may not be required to have a degree in business management or engineering, but will need experience in highway construction and contract interpretation. The county Highway Committee last week debated a draft job description for the position that will be vacant when current commissioner Jim Fischer retires later this summer. Members suggested that experience was more important than education. If we require an engineering degree, the salary goes way up, said Supervisor Charles Rayala. It was suggested that the minimum educational requirement be a high school diploma or its equivalent, along with at lease five years of experience or a combination of the two. Committee Chairman Jack Harrison also said experience should be emphasized. We need someone who knows whats happening in
Vilas County and all the education in the world doesnt mean anything, said Harrison. Hands-on experiences are more important than a college degree. Other qualifications discussed include a variety of skills, from supervising employees, good verbal communication, basic math, ability to prepare documents on a computer, and able to make independent decisions based on practices, rules and procedures. The person hired would be required to have a valid Wisconsin drivers license as well as a commercial drivers license with A, B, C, D and N endorsements. Supervisors noted there are physical demands that must be met to perform essential functions of the position and reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform those essential functions. The applicant also must be aware of the environmental conditions found in northern Wisconsin such as snow, rain, sun, wind and fluctuating temperatures as it relates to road maintenance and construction.
While the committee discussed having a salary range when the position is advertised, supervisors preferred the present salary of $55,367 be listed. But Harrison questioned the figure. That salary is for someone who has been here 25 years and we want to start out a new person at that salary? he asked. I prefer salary based on qualifications. A probationary period may be appropriate, but the Highway Committee suggested the Personnel Committee make that decision. The draft job description will be forwarded to county Corporation Counsel Martha Milanows-
ki and to the chairperson of the Personnel Committee. Other business In other action, the committee recommended interim commissioner Jarred Maney be compensated for his additional duties at an additional rate of 97 cents per hour. That recommendation will be given to the Personnel Committee. The committee was told the water at the Boulder Junction Highway Shop does not meet quality standards and the suggestion from the committee is to extend the existing well deeper, through a clay layer, before looking at treatment options.

Lyme disease a disease that gets its start from the simple bite of a tick is a concern for outdoor enthusiasts in the North Woods, according to a health-care professional. Weve started to see a lot of kids and adults in urgent care with tick bites and questions, said Kurt Landauer, M.D., urgent-care physician at Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Center. There are two types of ticks seen in the North Woods deer ticks and wood ticks. Deer tick bites can cause Lyme disease, whereas wood tick bites are usually harmless, Landauer said. Deer ticks are smaller than wood ticks. They can be as small as a poppy seed, but the adult can be nearly as big as a wood tick. The difference is the adult deer tick will have a reddish rear end and a dark brown cape behind its head. Deer ticks have an orange-red body, while wood ticks are brown in color. If Lyme disease isnt treated in a timely manner, it can cause chronic arthritis, meningitis, facial nerve
palsy, inflammation in the heart and other problems, Landauer said. Its very important to check your child and yourself every day in the evening from head to toe for ticks. Dont forget to check the scalp, behind the ears and in the groin. Landauer offers these tips for prevention: wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants tucked into high socks; check pets when they come inside the house with a fine-tooth comb; and wear light-colored clothes to make it easier to see ticks. Symptoms of Lyme disease include rash at the site of the tick bite or elsewhere on the body, according to Landauer. The classic rash looks like a bulls-eye, usually at the site of the bite, but on other areas of the body, it can be just a faint red blotch that may persist for a day or two; flu-type illness with fever, fatigue and body aches; and joint pain and swelling, he said. Lyme disease is usually diagnosed based on symptoms and by a blood test. Landauer recommends the ticks be removed promptly. Ticks that are attached for less than 24 hours usually do not trans-

mit the infection. If the tick is engorged, there is a higher chance for infection, he said. To remove the tick, Landauer offers these tips: use tweezers; grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible; pull it straight up and out with the tweezers; do not touch the tick with bare hands; and do not squeeze the tick. The tick can be disposed of by flushing in the toilet. If the head of the tick still remains in the skin, they arent infectious and will eventually come out on their own, said Landauer.
The Northland Pines School Board decided to keep students fees the same for the 2011-12 school year, but decided last week to increase meal prices for all age levels. District Administrator Mike Richie said school lunch pricing would have to increase due to federal guidelines. For kindergarten to fifth-grade students, the price would be $2.45, an increase of 10 cents. For grades six to 12 students, the price would be $2.70, up five cents. For adults, the price would increase 50 cents to $4. We have to average $2.75 under the federal reimbursement rate, and we have three years to get there, he told the board. The board also was informed commodities will be modified to reduce protein and increase fruits and vegetables. Board Chairman Jim Mulleady thought that was interesting. In these tough economic times, we have to raise prices to accommodate the federal government; it makes no sense, said Mulleady. Its in-
teresting they are looking for accountability. However, the board approved the 2011-12 school fees to remain the same, with no increase. Student enrollment numbers, as of June 23, were provided by Richie. He said his office monitors this on a daily basis and, at this time, enrollment is up slightly from June of last year. As of June 23, we have an enrollment of 1,407 compared to 1,384 last year on June 22, he said. For Eagle River elementary, it is 396 today compared to 373 last year. St. Germain remains the same at 134, and Land O Lakes now has 79 compared to 71 a year ago. The middle school has dropped slightly from 308 last year to 303, while the high school is at 495 compared to 498 last June. Richie said the school district now has 96 enrolled in prekindergarten and all classes are within SAGE guidelines for enrollment numbers. He said Land O Lakes elementary has 17 prekindergarten and 13 in first grade. Staff additions Richie said there are currently 10 staff positions to fill,
including three in the high school, three in the middle school and four in the Eagle River elementary that would include special education, and kindergarten in St. Germain. Several new resignations were received, including from technical education teacher Ryan Kawski, Eagle River fourth-grade teacher Jessica Butler, and middle-school business education/computers teacher Justin Cowen. Two new teachers hired were Stephanie Brewer for first grade and Matthew Krusack for school psychologist. Grounds projects The parking lot in front of the K-8 school in Eagle River will be redesigned and made slightly larger this summer. About 45 feet will be added to the width. Richie said the new design will make it safer for students who are getting dropped off and picked up at the school. Bids are expected to be presented next month, with the cost estimated at approximately $40,000. Construction of the new press box at the football field and track is expected to be completed in about a week.
Vilas County Clean Sweep set July 15-16 and Aug. 5-6
Vilas County Solid Waste Committee Chairman Gene Ciszek recently announced the dates and times for the Vilas County Clean Sweep program, which allows residents to properly dispose of hazardous waste. To dispense with the hazardous material according to state and federal environmental regulations, area residents can take waste to the following locations at the designated times: Friday, July 15, from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday, July 16, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Lac du Flambeau Transfer Station on Highway H; and Friday, Aug. 5, from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 6, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Vilas County Fairgrounds on Highway 70 in Eagle River. Vilas County property owners can take old paint, batteries, household chemicals and fluorescent bulbs to the Clean Sweep. There are fees associated with most items, ranging from 50 cents per fluorescent bulb to $2.50 per pound for antifreeze. Vilas County contracts with Oneida County Solid Waste to provide licensed professionals to collect and transport the hazardous waste to the permanent facility in Woodboro. Items that are not categorized as hazardous waste will not be accepted and are the responsibility of the owner to dispose of properly. These include household trash and recyclables including all electronic devices, as well as unwanted and expired pharmaceuticals. Electronics and other recyclables may be taken to Veolia Environmental Services in Woodruff or Eagle Waste in Eagle River. Property owners may obtain a voucher from their town or city clerk for free disposal of electronic items. Expired pharmaceuticals may be dropped at the Eagle River Police Department for no charge. A complete list of hazardous waste items that will be accepted at the Clean Sweep is available at vilasrecycles.org. Property owners can call the Vilas County UWExtension office at (715) 4793648 before the drop-off for information about what is accepted. Last year, Vilas County property owners properly disposed of more than 6 tons of hazardous waste through the Clean Sweep. We very much appreciate citizen attention to this important process, said Ciszek. Their due diligence in disposing of waste properly keeps our land and water clean for all to enjoy.
With your continued support, Rotary is making Eagle River, and the world, a better place.
Did you know, your local Rotary Club helped fund construction of a well and water purification system in Berard, Haiti, saving lives in the midst of a cholera outbreak by providing safe drinking water to thousands of villagers since last October? The solar-powered, 100-foot deep well was accomplished through Vision of Hope Ministries. It provides about 8 gallons of water a day for nearly 3,000 people. The club donated nearly $17,000 toward the project. A few years ago, the Rotary Club raised more than $75,000 for the renovation of the Silver Lake beach house, plus provided many hours of labor for the project. And soon after, the club raised $50,000 to obtain a state grant for the renovation of the old Eagle River railroad depot. The downtown now has washroom facilities, and the depot serves as a trailhead for the Three Eagle Bike & Hike Trail. Just three years ago, the Rotary Club raised $25,000 to develop a park area south of the depot, featuring rest benches, bike racks, a drinking fountain, a four-sided clock and landscaping. Your local Rotary Club has helped raise more than $600 million for the Polio Plus campaign to eradicate polio on Earth. The task is not finished yet, but has been 99.8% successful. The club has participated in the Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) program for more than 30 years. We have hosted more than 50 students from almost 40 countries. Meanwhile, about 50 local students have enjoyed the same broadening experiences by living with families in other parts of the world. Rotary awards $1,000 in scholarship money to graduating seniors, makes numerous donations to area organizations on an annual basis and is always looking for new ways to invest time, talent and financial resources to make our community and world a safe and healthy place. In recent years, club members have raised $2,000 for the Bergenthal Challenge which supplies holiday turkey dinners for all clients of the Eagle River food pantry. Rotary has hosted at least two meals a year at the Kalmar Center. It was 50 years ago that Rotary led the fundraising campaign to start construction of the original Eagle River Memorial Hospital. And 48 years ago, the club helped start the Eagle River Snowmobile Derby. Our motto is Service Above Self. To keep Rotary working for the community, it needs you to attend the two fundraisers below. We welcome new members. We meet at noon on Mondays at Eagle River Inn. Call Club President Rick Donohoe at (715) 4791147.

Patience, persistence will get you that shot!
WE HAD just found a group of crappies in shallow weeds, catching three in three casts, when a bald eagle let out some of those screeching chirps from a nearby shoreline. The eagle was By sitting on a low perch, strattling Kurt Krueger the top of a dead white birch just 15 feet above the water. Filtered light coming through a thin veil of clouds accentuated the birds brown body and contrasting white head. To the disdain of my fishing partner, I apologized, tossed out a marker, and pulled up anchor. The crappies, I said, should still be here when we get back. It was a long trip in stealth mode, by trolling motor, but we finally got within camera range without spooking the big eagle. Its eyes were focused on something across the bay and not on the approaching boat. And as luck would have it, when the eagle flushed, it came out into the lake right at us before flaring to one side. It was a picture-perfect moment that couldnt have occurred if we didnt chance giving up the crappies. This type of game is repeated in the scribblers fishing boat time and time again, enough that the family and friends who fish with me keep hoping that the eagles and ospreys are hiding in heavy cover when the fish start biting. That fishing can wait attitude has resulted in some wildlife encounters and photos that I might not have otherwise had. There are few things I like more than catching and eating fish, but you cant get good nature photos without some sacrifice. Ive been writing on the subject of wildlife photography every July for almost a decade, and it seems the encouragement is paying off for some newspaper readers. Submissions of wildlife photos to the paper have never been higher, both in terms of quantity and quality. More and more people are taking advantage of technological advances and lower prices in this age
In the Outdoors
of digital camera equipment, investing money in a challenging hobby that keeps them in touch with nature. The only thing better than seeing an eagle or loon up close is capturing those memories on camera. Theres something mighty special about having a photo to show while telling that tall tale of a wild encounter. Equipment challenges aside, good wildlife photography requires stealth, patience and many of the same skills used by hunters to get close to game. Theres a high volume of stories about wildlife encounters coming up in conversation these days, including stories from Eagle River and Phelps about black squirrels with tails of a different color either red or a red/white mix. Ive heard more than a halfdozen stories the past week about the antics of bears tearing down bird feeders, walking on decks and tearing apart garbage bags. Its the annual breeding season and bears are on the move. One lakefront owner had two otters pestering his dogs for more than an hour. They were playing on a windfall in the water, oblivious to the barking dogs. And then they tried stealing minnows from a container near the pier. The scribbler never tires of hearing those stories, for they are the fabric of what makes the North Woods such a special place to live, work and play. Wildlife in its natural habitat can be very spooky, but if you spend enough time at it, sooner or later, youll run into birds and animals that dont seem to mind the presence of humans. Some loons will virtually pose for photos on their nest, while others flee when you get within 50 yards. Bald eagles are my favorite bird to photograph, mostly because they represent power and grace and freedom as our national bird. They usually spook and flush before you can maneuver into photo range, so pa-
With todays digital equipment, improved zoom lenses and an abundance of wild subjects to photograph, even hobbyists can capture great wildlife images. Pictured

tience and persistence are crucial. Not everyone has the time or money to pursue wildlife photography, but those who do might want to add it to their list of hobbies. Theres no better place to try than the woods, water and wildlife that are found in the North Woods. Good photos are a sign of your stalking skills and your commitment to carry a camera and zoom lens, even when its somewhat inconvenient. The ultimate challenge
is finding wild animals in a setting where they can be photographed close up with decent lighting and visibility. Life is full of lessons and youll learn as you go. Luck can play a big part in getting good wildlife photos. And more often than not, the odds arent in the photographers favor. You cant do this with a pointand-shoot camera. A 35mm film camera or single-lens reflex (SLR) type digital that accommodates
zoom lenses and shoots files of at least six megapixels is necessary for getting consistent photos that can be enlarged to 8-inch by 10inch size. SLR-type digitals offer fast autofocus and a quick shutter. A collection of wildlife photos is a library of memories from your own outdoor experiences. Many of the photos have a story behind them something to share with your kids and their kids.

pleted. The final piece is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service breeding waterfowl survey for the northern United States, Canada and Alaska. That information is expected in the next few weeks and will form the framework for the 2011 fall hunting seasons. Only preliminary wetland data is available at this time. Duck numbers At the time of the waterfowl survey in early May, wetland conditions in Wisconsin were good to average, which was in marked contrast to a dry 2010. Wetland numbers in northern Wisconsin were up from 2010 and in the southern part of the state conditions improved from the dry 2010 to wetland numbers near the long-term average. Overall duck breeding conditions in Wisconsin for 2011 are good. The four most abundant
ducks in Wisconsins fall hunting harvest are mallards, wood ducks, green-winged teal and blue-winged teal. Van Horn noted that many of the ducks harvested in Wisconsin come from birds that breed in Wisconsin, in contrast to other states in the flyway, which rely more heavily on birds raised in the prairies or boreal forests of Canada. These are population estimates not exact counts so changes of near 20% up or down in the estimates each year may not reflect any real change in the actual population, Van Horn said. The 2011 total Wisconsin breeding duck population estimate of 513,746 is up 33% from 2010 and 17% above the long-term (38 years) average. This is good news after a below-average estimate in 2010 and reflects a response to improved water conditions on the Wisconsin landscape.

From the Entire Staff of the 2011 FHNB Event, We Gratefully Say
With Your Support, This Great Event Was Possible. We are already looking forward to next years event!
The 2011 Eighteenth Annual Eagle River Fishing Has No Boundaries event was a great success. This year, eighty-one (81) disabled anglers were able to enjoy three fun-filled days on the beautiful waters of the Eagle River Chain of Lakes. The weather was very good for all three days of the event, and each day brought lots of smiles from all involved. The oldest was 92 and the youngest was 21. Eleven of those attending were in wheelchairs and of all attending, 61 were males and 20 were females. There were 38 Care Attendants with the participants and approximately 55 volunteeres who were guides, boat drivers, assistants, EMTs and miscellaneous helpers, both on and off site, which made this event possible. There were more than 500 fish caught for the entire weekend. We used a total of 23 pontoons and 5 boats in order to successfully run this great event. During opening ceremonies the Eagle River VFW Color Guard Post 8637 performed the raising of the flag while Eagle River Mayor Jeff Hyslop sang the national anthem. Mayor Jeff Hyslop, Connie Heeg, Executive Director of the Eagle River Chamber of Commerce, and Leana Schlecht, Marketing Director - Lake of the Torches Resort & Casino, gave a great send-off on Friday. Every participant received a Fishing Has No Boundaries hat, an Achievement Certificate in a silver foil-embossed jacket and an 18th anniversary gold medallion. We thank Wild Eagle Lodge for their site location and the great help and coordination from their staff. Everyone had a great time and is looking forward to coming back to Wild Eagle Lodge in 2012.
WE ALL EXPRESS OUR THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE.
Together with your help, this program has really come together. Without the support of everyone in many individual areas, this event would not be possible. This truly shows what can happen when people pull together for the success of such a great program that Fishing Has No Boundaries is able to offer. We hope to work with you again next year. Thanks go to the Eagle River Lions Club, Eagle River Jaycees, Headwaters Chapter of Muskies Inc. and the Eagle River Shriners for their help with this years event. We would also like to thank Lake of the Torches Resort and Casino for their substantial contribution to help our event this year.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-REVIEW

Experience played a big role Saturday night at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes as three veterans of the track took home clean sweeps. Phelps Jerry Grasse was the winner in the WISSOTA AMSOIL Dirt Track Series (WADTS) Midwest Modifieds, Jordan Kurtti of Bruce Crossing, Mich., made it three feature wins in a row at TNT in the WADTS Street Stocks, and Denny Tushoski of Rhinelander retook sole possession of the TNT Bombers points lead with a feature win. All three won their heat races earlier in the evening for cleen sweeps. Eric LaFreniere of Norway, Mich., took the checkered in the TNT Stingers. Early in the WADTS Midwest Modifieds feature, it looked as though we would be talking about a first-time winner. Rookie Alex Van Natta got to the lead from the outside pole and maintained a gap on Grasse and defending track champion Bruce Belland. But halfway through the race, the experience started to show as Grasse closed. Then,
on lap 11, Van Natta drove too hard on the exit of turn four and washed up the track, allowing Grasse to take the lead. A yellow flag a couple of laps later afforded Van Natta another chance, but his car again washed up the track in four as he tried to close on the leader, and it was clear sailing for Grasse the rest of the way. Joe Kin worked his way through the field after getting involved in an early wreck and finished second. Last weeks feature winner, Jeff McDonald was third. Belland and Van Natta rounded out the top five. The points standings in the WADTS Street Stocks got a major shake-up on the first lap of the feature when outside pole sitter Ron Van Dusen spun in front of the field, triggering TNTs version of the big one. By the time it was said and done, half the field was collected. The two drivers who had it the worst were Neal Slizewski, who saw the right rear of his car demolished, and points leader John Kallas, who got tagged in the rear during the pile-up and slammed hard into the outside wall down the front stretch. Kallas got out of the car under his own power, but ad-
mitted to being very sore afterward on his Facebook page. He was checked over by the emergency medical technicians and cleared, but his car sustained heavy rear-end damage. That opened the door for Kurtti and Nick Visser to take the points lead and Kurtti wasted no time getting to the front. On the restart, he made a bold four-wide move up the middle down the backstretch and took a lead. But he had company at the front in the form of Argonnes Leif Gunderson, who was bent on making a Kurtti three-peat anything but a foregone conclusion. The race was slowed by several caution flags and came up against the time limit five laps short of completion. On the green-white-checkered finish, Gunderson got a great restart and pulled underneath Kurtti, taking the lead briefly. Kurtti fought back on the outside, taking the lead back going into the final lap and holding off Gunderson to take the win. Gunderson, Ben Pitlik, Heidi Karshbaum and Van Dusen rounded out the top five. Compared to their Street Stocks brethren, the TNT Bombers drivers acted like choir boys Saturday. There
were only two cautions slowing the proceedings in the typically rough and tumble class. C.J. England led the first seven laps, but was passed in a lap eight restart by Tushoski and Todd Brass. But Tushoski had the better car on this night and slowly pulled away from Brass and sailed to the victory. John Johnson finished third, an incredible feat considering that his car barrel-rolled three times in turn one during a heat race accident. England and Ron Reese rounded out the top five. The Stingers feature ran caution free with Bill Martin leading the first 10 laps, but as the race went on, LaFreniere slowly closed and he made his move on lap 11, passing Martin and holding him off for the final five laps for the checkered flag. Bobby Sheldon outdueled Rob Schuppler in a good battle for third. John Barlowski finished fifth. Racing continues next Saturday night at TNT Speedway with the WADTS Midwest Modifieds and Street Stocks along with the TNT Bombers and Stingers. Hot laps start at 7 p.m., with racing at 7:45 p.m. For more information, visit TNTSpeedway.com.

State control over wolves is on shaky ground again
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) is poised to goof up yet another wolf delisting attempt by claiming there are two species of wolves in Wisconsin the gray wolf and the eastern wolf and its time the federal agency gets its act together. When wolves were originally listed as needing federal protection under the Endangered Species Act some 30 years ago, they were listed as a single species. They should be delisted the same way. Cathy Stepp, secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is urging the agency to get it right this time around after three previous delisting attempts were found faulty by federal courts. We agree with her viewpoint that wolves need to be delisted as a single species. According to Stepp, the federal agency knows that the wolves in Wisconsin today are genetically identical to the wolves that were here when they were first listed for federal protection. And its clear from DNR estimates that the states wolf population has exceeded the delisting goal of 100 animals eight times over. Fanatical supporters of the timber wolf want two separate species identified because it could mean major delays in the delisting process. Such a controversy could skew population estimates and prompt calls for more studies and improved science all major delays at a time when Wisconsin has far too many wolves for public tolerance. We believe the feds need to focus more closely on the important facts, like Wisconsins commitment to long-term conservation of wolves regardless of species or subspecies. They need to know that public support of the wolf program is predicated on reasonable management strategies and controlled numbers, which is why the state approved a long-term goal of 350 wolves. With more than 800 wolves now roaming state fields and forests, there is a serious overpopulation of wolves, and the numbers have been growing at a double-digit rate in recent years. That enormous surplus has led to intolerable levels of depredation the past year including injury or death to 14 dogs that were attacked near houses. The DNR is faced with an equally difficult challenge in trying to maintain credibility for having pushed the wolf reintroduction and longterm management under the guise of state control. Instead, the delisting process is in the hands of a federal agency that put together several flawed proposals and federal judges, which has led to incredible frustration on the part of biologists, farmers, deer hunters and pet owners. Its important to note that the delisting proposal and the DNRs push for a designation of a single species in the proposal is not in any way an attempt to rid the state of wolves. Quite to the contrary, state biologists and scores of volunteers have dedicated many years to reviving populations of this native animal for all time. We just want state management of a wolf population that has gotten out of control.
yet they never said a word. As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave. Before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. When the boy opened the door to his home a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, What did you do today that made you so happy! He replied, I had lunch with God. But before his mother could respond, he added, You know what? Hes a lot older than I thought he would be. Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His neighbor was stunned by the look of peace on his face, and she asked, What did you do today that made you so happy? He replied, I ate Twinkies in the park with God. But before the neighbor responded, he added, You know, hes much younger than I expected. * * * THE MOST successful salesmen, teachers, writers, politicians and others who deal with people know this one simple fact: Every person in the world is hungry for food, or for recognition, companionship, a helping hand, understanding, love the list is endless.

walleyes, northerns or whatever this side of the Pecos. Conversely, when I take someone really nice fishing, like Scott and Valerie, it goes without saying, the fish you pursue that day will develop an extreme case of lockjaw. On Sunday the three of us met up at the boat landing of one of my favorite lakes to pursue northern pike, a fish neither of them had ever caught. During my most recent expedition to that very same lake I fished just under two hours to catch 10 pike, all but three of them legitimate keepers.

OP-ED/READER OPINION
Simac running from radical views Maines
Dear Editor: Scripted, down-to-earth commercials do not show who the 12th District senatorial candidate really is a Tea Party radical with a frightening vein of extremism to be run from. Simac has based her entire campaign on Sen. Holperins having gone to Illinois to force patient discussion of Scott Walkers agenda. However, it is now Simac doing the actual running. Unfortunately, she and her image crafters underestimate the intelligence of the North Woods electorate and dont understand that a basic familiarity with Google exposes who Simac really is. The self-described quirky American story she is running from is lengthy and easily available on the Web. She has likened our schools to Nazi indoctrination programs, saying shed remove her children from them. This is the person to support education in the 12th? On her website, she has her arm around Paul Ryan, the man with drastic changes to Medicare in mind. This is the person to support seniors in the 12th? In YouTube videos, she says that we need to be like Third World countries to compete with them, that those who dislike Walker are mutinous cowards, and that God is turning from the USA as sin is embedded in our churches, in our schools, on our streets, and in our homes. This is a mindset representative of the 12th? She has hired a 20-something who formerly worked for a professional, out-of-state firm called Targeted Victory to market her candidacy. Having remarketed Mitt Romney, shes descended from Boston, Tweeting comments to another Targeted Victory operative about us on the way, such as her hope that we have movie theaters up in the woods. These are the sort of people wholl decide whats good for folks in the 12th? Finally, asked to show shes a candidate of depth and specific proposals, Kim Simac failed to attend a forum in Tomahawk and is noncommittal about any others, likely at the direction of her marketers. This is the person bragging about her courage in standing for the 12th? Ultimately, not unlike Sarah Palin, the face of Kim Simac presents nicely on TV, but a little study of her actual substance, or at least what we are allowed to see, is reason for grave concern. Therefore, North Woods voters wont be fooled by the carefully crafted image of Tea Party handlers. We will share, with everyone, the truth that she is running from, the radicalism formerly known as Kim Simac. Gary Zarda Rhinelander Due to the policy of this newspaper to have no political letters run the week before the Primary Election July 19, state Senate candidate Kim Simac was given an opportunity to respond to this letter (see below).
We worked over a large weed bed area off an island, fully expecting our first fish on the next cast while I told yet another story of the time I fished with a childhood friend and her daughter on a mission to get her daughters first mountable fish in the boat. Naturally, we succeeded at the task, never mind that her daughter was 10 and the criteria was that the fish be her first-ever over 12 inches long. A 17-inch pike filled the bill nicely. After that, the daughter promptly lost her desire to fish. Mom and I kept fishing, and in the very spot where I assured Scott and Val they would catch fish, Mom caught her biggest fish ever still is to this day and that 27-inch pike went on the wall as well. Guess what? There were no fish destined for the taxidermist taken from that spot Sunday morning. Matter of fact, there were no fish taken from that spot, period. Not to worry, there was a lot more lake to fish. On the
way to my next hot spot, I had the two of them troll their lures behind, and even though I rowed my elderly arms off, still no pike took a shine to the glitz and glitter of their lures. Finally, as I headed back to the point of our first drift, Scott caught his first northern pike well, almost. He had one a little under 2 feet grab his spoon, and just as I was about to tutor him on how to lead it into the net, he hoisted it into the air, fish dangling on the end of about 3 feet of line. The pike dangled only momentarily before it shook the hooks and went back into the lake, the beneficiary of what I like to call a successful precatch catch and release. We worked hard for five hours on the lake that day, hot sun beating down on us and lack of fish beating down our spirits. It was a good thing we had Scott along, because at the end of the trip he had hooked the only four pike of the day. Being a very good husband, he handed his rod to Valerie
after he hooked his third fish and let her enjoy the fun of landing a pike. Scarcity of fish notwithstanding, Id like to think my friends enjoyed their first pike outing. Yes, we were less successful at catching fish than I probably all of us would have liked, but when you share your day with eagles soaring overhead, Mama Loon with a chick riding on her back, small handfuls of ducks swimming or flying by and a couple of lovely young maidens sunbathing on a huge lakeside boulder for a couple of hours, how could you possibly call the day disappointing? We did not, and later this week we hope to get together again to fish another of my favorite lakes for walleye and smallmouth. This time Im not taking any chance of offending the fish gods. The words never fail shall never pass through my lips, and I promise to forget to take along a net. How, therefore, could we possibly fail?

Our kids are our most precious resource. Families work very hard to raise them, pass along values and traditions, educate them, and give them every opportunity to achieve their dreams. At the Department of Justice, we also work very hard to protect them. Nowhere is this commitment greater than in our efforts to fight Internet predators. While the Internet has opened many doors for our children, from education to communication to entertainment, it has also become an active crime scene. Online sex predators use technology to connect with kids, using all the tools they use: instant messaging, picture and video trading, chat rooms, Web cameras, Web microphones, social networking sites like
MyYearbook and Facebook, and even online gaming networks like X-Box Live. Child pornographers have invaded the Internet in many forms. Commercial pornography websites find an endless supply of customers in the United States including in Wisconsin. Others use chat rooms to obtain and trade images and movies, while some simply use their own digital cameras, camcorders or cell phones to manufacture images. As for cell phones, have you heard the term sexting? It refers to sexually explicit text messages and photos through cellular telephones. Often, predators use cell phones to further their exploitation of children after meeting those children online. Predators also use filesharing programs which many parents believe are just used for music. Those same
file-sharing programs are venues for c h i l d predators to collect and share child pornography images and videos. Statistics kept by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) illustrate the scope of the problem: Since NCMECs Child Recognition and Identification System (CRIS) was launched in September 2002, the CRIS has reviewed more than 50 million child pornography images and movies seized by law enforcement. Since 1998, NCMECs Cyber Tipline has received well over 1 million reports of suspected online child exploitation taking place To VAN HOLLEN, Pg. 16A

guests, I like the ones who get up when they feel like it without worrying about what time we have breakfast. I like guests who dont want to do what I want to do but feel free to wander off on their own. When people are visiting, I dont want to be a tour director. The best guests do what they feel like doing. After breakfast, they may volunteer to drive over and get the newspapers 12 miles away, then not show up until hours later for lunch. Im very fond of guests who enjoy a nap after lunch while Im up in my shop on some woodworking project. If they want to play tennis toward midafternoon, Ill join them.
Book readers make good guests. They dont want you to bother them with suggestions like, Would you like to hike up the falls? or There are some good antiques places in Schuylerville. Theyre engrossed in their book. A guy who wont move from in front of the television set while theres a ball game on makes a satisfactory weekend visitor. Im hoping no one we invite up to the house is going to read this, but I dont like guests who stand around asking whether theres anything they can do. If someone asks whether theres anything he or she can do, there almost never is because the people who ask that question arent the kind of people who can help do anything. At the end of the visit, the sensible ones ask Margie, What shall I do with the
sheets? She tells them. There shouldnt be many decisions to make on vacation. Its best when the biggest question you have to answer during the day is, What do you want for dinner? This vacation, Im going to make things out of the walnut, maple and cherry I have stored away. Im going to read, nap and Im going to take several boxes of letters and miscellaneous pieces of paper from my office and go through them leisurely so that, when I come back in August, my life will be organized and in order. I wont have any pictures to prove it, but Ill have a good time. (Write to Andy Rooney at Tribune Media Services, 2225 Kenmore Ave., Suite 114, Buffalo, NY 14207 or e-mail aarooney5@yahoo.com)

To make matters more disturbing, surveys have shown a correlation between child pornographers and child molesters. In 2005, sobering results were released from a study at the Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, N.C. Researchers indicated that of about 200 federal inmates convicted of Internet child pornography crimes, some 85% admitted to molesting children as well. The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force of my offices Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is dedicated to identifying and arresting those predators. In the past five years, the ICAC Task Force has arrested more than 500 offenders and executed more than 900 search
warrants. To help prevent children from becoming victims, and to help parents, teachers, and child welfare advocates better protect children, we have educated more than 200,000 citizens of all ages across Wisconsin. Parents are the first line of defense in protecting their children from online predators. We have included some tips for parents to help protect their children. Our DCI professionals partner with a growing list of local law enforcement agencies and Boys and Girls Clubs throughout the state. We now have 168 ICAC affiliates throughout the state, nearly tripling our partnerships since just 2008. Additionally, we work hand-in-hand with our federal counterparts to investigate crimes against children that result in a wide range of federal charges. Let it be known to Internet predators: we know you are out there. You cannot hide. Every day we add more part-

Artarama is about to happen for the 39th time. Since its small beginning in 1972, Artarama has grown in size, popularity and reputation. This year, the show will feature the work of more than 125 artists from all over the country, no matter the weather. One of Wisconsins biggest summer events, the show will be held Saturday, July 16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Riverside Park, located on Division Street in Eagle River. Parking will be handled by the Eagle River Lions Club and will be available at the fairgrounds, located on Highway 70 W. The purpose of this show is twofold. It is organized to bring a high-quality art show to Eagle River, along with the commerce that is a result of many visitors being drawn to the area, said Artarama committee member Barb Zyhowski. But more importantly, it is still organized, as it was in 1972, to raise funds that are all returned to the community as scholarships, art programs, beautification projects and services.

Reflections

A moment to think
Suddenly the lights went out through the entire house. Almost simultaneously sirens started and, over the next few minutes, eight emergency vehicles went past our home. My Web developer was just leaving and we both looked at each other, knowing the two events were related and that something bad had happened. It does not take long, in a small town, to learn about the cause of the power outage. A one-car accident had occurred up on the highway. The 83-year-old driver apparently fell asleep and hit a major electric pole. It must have fed the entire area, including the next town, because power was out everywhere. This event reminds me of how dependent we are on electricity. My wireless network, television, refrigerator, freezer, lights, furnace (air conditioning) and more were all out. It also made me aware of how much we have. There are people who have no electricity ever. Some use gas lamps, if they are lucky enough to have them, to light their homes after dark or use gas to power whatever meager appliances they might have. We take for granted that we will have hot coffee in the morning, a cold beer with our pizza, ice cream, television for entertainment and more. Most of us take for granted that a car sits in our garage ready to take us wherever we want to go, that hot and cold water will come To FRIEDEL-HUNT, Pg. 3B

Cathy Clark reaches for her ice cream scoop hundreds of times per day as she waits on customers at Cathys Ice Cream and Candy Shoppe in St. Germain. Clark moved from northern Illinois to St. Germain in 1969 with her husband, who vacationed in the North Woods as a child. She was school secretary at St. Germain Elementary School for 18 years. Wishing to have summer employment, she purchased Cindys Sweet Shop in 1985, moved the business to its present location, and opened her ice cream and candy shop with 16 flavors of the frozen confection. Starting my own business was scary, Clark recalled, but I like ice cream and candy and am a chocoholic, so it was also enticing. Since 1985, Clark added old-fashioned candies, such as Dots and wax bottles; and newer, extremely sour candies, plus 16 additional flavors of Kemps and Cedar Crest ice cream. She hand dips waffle cones and offers chocolate sodas and an assortment of ice cream creations which customers can enjoy on the deck. Though Clarks favorite flavor has always been toasted almond fudge, butter pecan and blue moon
seem to be most popular with customers. Many people come here because we carry particular flavors, so we keep the same ones from year to year, she stated. Ice cream is purchased in three-gallon tubs which are stored in freezers holding 200 to 300 containers. Clark offers a sugar-free product and Heath bar yogurt ice cream. Being sensitive to customers with gluten or peanut allergies, employees use new scoops to make those cones and can list ingredients in each flavor when asked. Clark hires 10 employees, most of whom are St. Germain students. This is usually their first job, she said. I teach them how to work with the public, to scoop ice cream correctly, and how to count back change, which is difficult for some to learn. Most students return year after year to work. The shop is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. She holds a food preparation license, the shop is inspected, and water samples are tested annually. Clark, who has served whole generations at the shop, mused, Its tradition to visit in the summertime. Little kids earn money all year long in order to purchase candy and ice cream at Cathys. We love it!

out of our faucets, that buying a new pair of shoes is no big deal. On and on the list goes. Whenever I hear sirens, I know that someones life was just turned around in some way. It makes me stop and think about how blessed I am. I think it is a good thing that at least once in a while we stop and become aware of this. We just celebrated Independence Day, a day that reminds all of us of what we have here in this country. But, frankly, as I watch what has happened in our state and country this year, I find that it takes a great deal of faith and confidence to trust that we will, over the next few years, become a kinder, gentler nation concerned about the poor, the elderly, the sick, the hungry, minorities and more who struggle for what should be theirs.

lose so much. All of these thoughts roamed through my mind as I watched the procession of emergency vehicles return to the fire station just down the street hours later and as I wondered who was hurt or killed. As it turned out, the gentleman was injured but not seriously and no one else was hurt. The power came back on five hours later and cable channels slowly found their way back to my TV. As life in our little town returned to normal, I knew we had been blessed with an opportunity to ponder, to say thank you and to trust that all will be well.
