THE VOICE OF RHINELANDER & THE NORTHWOODS SINCE 1977
YMCA celebrates 10 years at its
Rhinelander facility with party

Editor
Elephants and retirement go
hand in hand for Ann Eshelman
By Mary Ann Doyle
Associate Editor
Combine a little serendipity and throw in an elephant or two and you have
the makings for a grand
adventure. Just ask Ann Eshelman.
Ann, who retired in 2008
as a public defender for
Oneida, Vilas, Forest and
Florence counties hasn’t
been doing much loafing
since she walked away from
her busy attorney days. In
fact, just the opposite. Only
a few short weeks ago she
made her way to Botswana,
where she “vacationed”
at an animal sanctuary by
helping feed and care for
such exotic animals as
cheetahs, rhinos, leopards,
giraffes and birds.
But it was her love of elephants that prompted her to
seek out an adventure back
in 2011; that and a cold and
depressing winter.
“I was sick of the cold
and getting sort of depressed,” Ann said. “I was
thinking of going on a vacation but wanted to go where
I could be useful. It was
serendipity that I found a
little blurb for the Elephant
Valley Project in Thailand
on my computer one day. I
did more research and decided that’s where I wanted
to go.”
This was a big leap for
Ann, who admittedly isn’t
much of a traveler.
“I just decided that maybe getting out of my comfort zone would be good for
me,” she explained. “I’m
not a particularly gutsy person so actually I sort of surprised myself.”
The Elephant Valley
Project is in Cambodia located in Mondulkiri Province. It is situated in the
land of the Bunong tribal
people and the rescued elephants at this sanctuary
are a big part of why these
natives can remain in their
homeland.
“All around this village
the Chinese have come in
and cut down all the trees,”
said Ann. “But the Bunong
people did not let the Chinese have their land so it remains wild. The elephants
provide an income for the
tribal people who help take
care of them and provide
their food from the jungle.”
The sanctuary was needed for sick and tamed elephants that were abandoned
after they were no longer
needed to drag timber out
of the jungle.
“These sanctuaries are
needed to keep them safe,”
said Ann.
Since this haven was basically located in the middle
of the jungle, creature comforts are few. Ann slept in
a grass hut every night that
proved to be quite a scary
experience.

Ann Eshelman traveled to the Valley Elephant Project in Cambodia to work with abandoned elephants. She
has also traveled to Africa twice, where she helped out at other animal sanctuaries.
Editors note: This is the first part of a
two part series about the YMCA’s 10th
anniversary celebration.
The Rhinelander YMCA is turning 10
May 2 and the facility is opening its doors
to the public for a celebration.
“The whole day May 2 we will be holding an open house,” interim CEO Laurie
Schlitt said. “It is free to the public. We
will be gathering stories from our members on a big birthday card. It is a day to
celebrate our members.”
It is also a time to celebrate the community which came together 10 yeas ago to
provide the facility that is standing today.
“Before this facility, the YMCA in
Rhinelander was program based,” Schlitt
said. “It was located above the old M&I
building and had youth and adult programs but no formal facility.”
In 2001, an effort was made to purchase
the land and begin raising funds for a
building to be constructed.
“They were not able to raise 100 percent of the money needed, but it was
determined this building was important
enough that construction should begin
anyway,” Schlitt said.
Those involved in getting the project off
the ground, including Mel Davidson, Jodi
Hanson and Steve Courts, toured other
facilities and consulted with the builders
and helped drive the construction.
“They really wanted to emphasis pro-

Editor:
In the recent Oneida County Board election, false
statements were made about me in flyers used by my
opponent, Robb Jensen. I was said to be pushing a master plan to remove all dams in Oneida County. This is
not true. County Boards can’t even remove their own,
much less all dams, without State or Federal approval; they simply don’t have the legal authority. Even
if someone proposed such a plan, I would oppose it,
because each dam is an individual case with complicated facts that require detailed analysis and public involvement before a decision can be made. A few years
ago, the DNR was negotiating with the paper mill for
license renewal, and they threatened to remove their
dam if the DNR didn’t give in to their demands. They
wanted the entire river to flow through their facility…
no side channel for safe passage of fish or recreational
use…no observation deck for public enjoyment…nothing that accommodated public use of the river. I told
the mill representatives that I would do everything possible under the law to prevent them from carrying out
their threat…and the dam is still operating today. In
fact, I have worked professionally on over 100 dams
in Wisconsin and can count on one hand the number of
dams I recommended for removal, each of which was
justified in court.
I was also said to be responsible for the financial
loss the county took on the WPS building, which was
purchased more than five years before I was elected
to the board. When members of the current County
Board suggested leveling the building and converting
the space into a parking lot, I opposed that idea in favor

The National Day of Prayer will be observed with a
prayer event Thursday, May 1, on the Oneida County
Courthouse front lawn area from noon to 12:30 p.m.
This year’s theme is “One Voice, United in Prayer”,
emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and
individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities and people everywhere.
The National Day of Prayer was established as an
annual event in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President
Harry S. Truman.
President Reagan amended the law in 1988, designating the first Thursday of May each year as the National Day of Prayer. The observance of the National
Day of Prayer is founded on the constitutional rights
of freedom of speech and freedom of religion and can
be celebrated by all Americans.

of a plan that would have saved taxpayers hundreds of
thousands of dollars over the next 15 years.
The statements made in Mr. Jensen’s flyers are false.
Similar flyers were used in at least three other Oneida County races, with the advice and coordination of
a Republican State Senator. This pattern of misrepresentation has been repeated in Iron, Polk and Kenosha
Counties, often with outside money and partisan campaign funds. Do we really want the tactics that have
given us such a dysfunctional Congress to be used in
our local non-partisan elections? I think not. Mr. Jensen
was quoted in the press as saying he thought the voters wanted a more moderate voice. Mr. Jensen needs to
develop a truthful voice. The fine people of this county
deserve more than the sleazy tactics used in the last
election.

Hartman will run for

By Rick Peterson
Special to the
Star Journal
Sheriff Grady Hartman has announced his bid for sheriff in the
November general election. Sheriff
Hartman has served as the current
Oneida County Sheriff since January, 2013 when he was appointed by
Gov. Scott Walker.
Sheriff Hartman has been in law
enforcement for 20 years and has
served the people of Oneida County
for 15 years. He began as a road

on the special response team and in his candidacy for the
2007 was made SRT team leader. sheriff’s position in
November.
Sheriff Hartman has previously
served on the Rhinelander school district school board
and was a supervisor on the Crescent Town Board.
“I strongly believe in serving the community that my
family and I live in” Hartman said.
During his time as Sheriff, Hartman has worked towards his goal of maximizing resources while keeping
the community safe. He has consolidated the Emergency Management Department with the Sheriff’s Office
and is focusing resources on the growing methamphetamine and heroin problems in the community. School
safety continues to be a high priority for Sheriff Hartman and the office has partnered with the Rhinelander
School District to open a satellite office at the CassianWoodboro school.
Sheriff Hartman will be attending town meetings
throughout the county in the upcoming months and
has started a Facebook page.
Editor’s note: The Star
Journal will be publishing periodic articles from
Sergeant Rick Peterson of
Rhinelander during his deployment to Afghanistan.
Our time in Texas continues. As we prepare for
our missions in Afghanistan, I give occasional
thought to the last time I
deployed, with the 951st
Engineer Company of
Rhinelander/Tomahawk.
While there are some similarities, much has changed
over four and a half years
and the mission designed
for each Company is entirely different. Still, it is
interesting to see first hand
the processes that are undertaken to move a Company of soldiers around the
world.
When the 951st mobilized in 2009, we were
engaged in various types
of specific training for
months prior. Some soldiers went to courses to

learn how to operate specific equipment such as the
Javelin weapon system,
the Raven UAV, building search, and other such
individualized
training.
During this mobilization
process, I have seen much
less in the way of advanced
preparatory trainings or
schools. This is a vertical
construction unit. Many
of these soldiers are employed in building trades
as civilians and special
schools are not critical for
this mission. Again, this is
due to the differences in
the type of mission, and I
point it out only to illustrate that one deployment
is not like another.
Quite literally, tons upon
tons of gear is required in
order to deploy a company
sized element such as the
829th. In addition to the
mission specific equipment that must go forward,
each soldier has several
duffle bags full to bursting
with their assigned military gear, at least one assigned individual weapon,

Governor signs bill for handicapped motorcyclists
This legislation authored by Rep. Rob
Swearingen (R-Rhinelander) is a bill that
allows handicapped motorcycle riders to
use handicap parking spaces. In addition,
it provides handicapped motorcyclists the
opportunity to temporarily use a handicapped parking pass instead of permanent
license plates.
“Currently anyone with a handicapped
parking permit issued from the Department of Transportation may use designated parking spots. However, this is not true
for those who ride motorcycles. Now motorcyclists can share the same privileges
as other handicapped drivers in the state
of Wisconsin,” said Swearingen.
The bill deletes the statutory prohibition
for disabled tags on motorcycles to allow
motorcycle passengers or drivers, as long
as they fit the established medical criteria,
the same access to the blue disabled tags
as someone using a car. This legislation
was widely supported by veterans.

Rhinelander District Library director Ed Hughes announced he is
leaving Rhinelander to take a position in Missippi.
“It is a great opportunity for me,”
Hughes said. “It is a large library
system in northern Mississippi that
covers a wide variety of people.”
Hughes said the system he is going to covers an area
from the affluent Memphis suburbs to the poorer Mississippi delta areas to Oxford, Miss., home of the University of Mississippi.
“Really a wide range of people,” Hughes said. “It is
very interesting.”
But it is Hughes’ experience with dealing with different areas that made him an attractive candidate for the
Mississippi job.
“This job [in Rhinelander] is unique where we work
with four towns and one city,” Hughes said. “There are
not a lot of people in the country with that kind of experience. That was something the people in Mississippi
liked about me.”
Hughes began looking for a job at the start of winter
due to family concerns and was looking for a position
in warmer climates.
But the Mississippi job was almost a lost opportunity.
“I saw the job posted in December,” Hughes said.
“But I was traveling and they were going to close the
job in a week so there was no way I could apply for it.
But they reopened the job because they didn’t get the
resumes they wanted and I applied. I wrote them and
said I was glad they reopened the job because otherwise
I couldn’t have applied.”
The board in Mississippi was also glad they reposted
and offered Hughes the job.
While Hughes is excited about the new opportunity,
he is sad to say good bye to the Rhinelander area.
“I really like this area and I am sad to leave,” Hughes
said. “We wouldn’t leave if there weren’t other concerns.”
Hughes spent six years leading the Rhinelander library and saw technology and space changes at the library but also learned an important lesson.
“The staff that is there has not changed much,” Hughes
said. “They are a great group of people. I learned that if
you got something good, leave it alone.”
One area Hughes is happy to have helped change is
the working space for his staff.
“When I came I had a very large office,” Hughes said.
“So we reshuffled the space to give more room for the
staff to work in.”
Hughes said more space is needed and points to the
Mississippi system as an example.
“They had a new library down there and it was welcoming and inviting,” Hughes said. “It just makes such
a difference. I wish people could see what a new library
space can do. I think it is time for that to happen here.”
Hughes has begun the process of relocating to Mississippi but his official last day in Rhinelander will be
June 2.

BliSS FaMilY ViNeYaRDS oF MeNDoCiNo, CaliFoRNia
At a recent wine presentation, the Cellar 70 Staff tasted a line of Mendocino varietals that truly delighted us.
We were especially pleased when we heard the story of Bliss Family Vineyards.
Patriarch Irv Bliss fell in love with a ranch located in the picturesque, rolling hills of Mendocino when he
visited there in the late 1930s. Years later, he learned of a Mendocino property for sale. He gathered all of his
savings and bid on the land sight unseen. He was able to make the purchase and was supremely happy when it
turned out to be the 450-acre estate he’d been enamored with originally! He began a winegrowing legacy that
has continued through three generations of Bliss Family farmers.
Bliss estate-bottled wines express beautiful characteristics of the cool-climate grapes they are made from
along with a hint of the “terroir” of the volcanic soils of the vineyards.
The Sauvignon Blanc is fermented in stainless steel and displays rich, ripe aromas and flavors of peach, pear,
and grapefruit. It’s crisp, dry, and zesty on the finish and very refreshing! Enjoy it, lightly chilled, as an aperitif
or pair it with salads, milder seafood dishes, or Oriental cuisine.
The Chardonnay has lush tropical fruit aromas with a honeyed texture on the palate. You will taste not-quitesweet hints of pear and mango with a wisp of butterscotch. These flavors are balanced perfectly on the finish by
clean, lively acidity. This writer recently paired it with poached salmon---Yummy!
The preference for Pinot Noir in the United States continues to grow. Many California wineries have
experimented with this often finicky variety over the years, but only cooler micro-climates and specific soil
types (gravel/loam/chalk) will allow the grape to flourish. Bliss has two estate vineyards that are ideal. Pinot
Noir grown on the Feliz and Slow Lope’n Ranches yields expressive, harmonious wine that is sheer delight! A
bouquet of cherry, clove, and lilac leads to a palate of Bing cherry, red currant, and spice surrounded by a soft
toasty nuance. All balances perfectly on the finish with supple tannins and sweet/tart acidity. Bliss Pinot Noir
is an ideal complement to lamb, pork, grilled salmon, venison, or glazed fowl. But, use your imagination; good
Pinot Noir like this will pair with many styles of cuisine!
Arguably, Cabernet Sauvignon is the grape that California is most famous for. It’s widely planted in nearly
all of California’s AVAs (American Viticultural Area). Each area’s unique climate system, soil types, and
practices in the vineyards and winery lend their characteristics to the inherent aroma and flavor profiles of
the variety. Once again, Mendocino’s Northerly climate has an important influence on the Bliss style. While
the wine is fragrant and flavorful, it’s not a powerhouse of fruit and tannins like some Cabernets from Napa
or Sonoma. To me, it’s more akin to a good Medoc from Bordeaux. The natural black
currant and plum nuances meld gently with the earth and mineral notes of the soils.
There’s just a touch of mint in the background that is very pleasant. Firm tannins on the
end make this “Cab” perfect for a grilled Porterhouse!
“Red Blends” are all the rage these days. In California, winemakers have the freedom
to use a number of different grape varieties to create their “signature” styles. Bliss

Learning about sustainable
techniques
By Mary Ann Doyle
Associate Editor
I often marvel at how hard my parents worked to put
food on the table as they raised us five kids. Of course we
were all required to help whether that was planting and
weeding the garden, cleaning veggies or even butchering
chickens.
There were many times I can recall my mother sweeping her hand over the meal and announcing “Everything
on this table, except for the salt and pepper, was grown
right here.”
In retrospect, these meals were delectable and more
than likely included a home grown chicken, cooked to
golden perfection on a grill rotisserie; a steaming bowl
of green beans; creamy white potatoes mounded high in
a bowl and usually strawberries or some other fruit for
dessert.
As kids we would acknowledge Mom’s comment with
a “yeah, yeah,” as we plowed into the food, never really
giving much credence to the significance of the meal before us. We all thought everyone ate this way. But as I
have come to find out, we were very fortunate to have this
healthy food available right outside our own back door.
I was thinking about that phenomenon when I walked
into the fourth annual Sustainability Fair last Tuesday.
It was held in the ArtStart building in downtown Rhinelander and I always look forward to this event with great
anticipation.
That’s because a lot of the exhibitors have the same
mind set when it comes to growing and producing healthy
foods and products that are good for our bodies as well
as our environment. Every year, this fair gets bigger and
better and last Tuesday was no exception.

Flyers regarding county board election cause stir
By Mary Ann Doyle
Associate Editor
Joel Knutson didn’t appreciate the flyers
that were sent out targeting four Oneida
County board seats that were up for reelection before the April 1 election. In fact, he
came before the board Tuesday, April 15
and expressed that concern.
“I felt they were uncalled for and stupid,”
Knutson said. “I hate to see local politics
come to that.”
Knutson, who is a supervisor on the
Crescent Town Board and a consultant in
the outdoor industry pointed out that the
flyers were “part of negative campaigning”
especially since they were received by constituents on the Friday and Saturday before
the Tuesday election.
The giant postcard type mailers were
only sent out in four districts. Those races
included District 7 between incumbent Bob
Mott and Dennis Schoeneck; in District 11
between incumbent Bob Martini and Robb
Jensen; in District 18 between incumbent
Candy Sorensen and Lance Krolczyk and
in District 20 between Alan VanRaalte and
Ken Dirks where there was no incumbent.
Mott retained his seat and VanRaalte beat
Dirks. Krolczyk beat Sorensen and Jensen
beat out Martini.
Sen. Tom Tiffany admits reaching out
to candidates Jensen, Schoeneck, Dirks
and Krolczyk to create the mailings which
belittled the current county board for purchasing the WPS building for $525,000 in
2007 and selling it a few months ago for
$185,000. Another point of contention
was the fact that some county supervisors
Elephants
“One of the things I couldn’t get over
were the spiders,” she said. “They were big
and every where, even in my hut. I tried to
get to sleep before it got dark out because
their eyes actually glow in the dark. It’s
very creepy.”
Ann spent a lot of her mornings gathering banana leaves from the jungle to feed
the elephants and then bathing the beasts in
the afternoon. She also had plenty of time
to observe these giant creatures and came
to appreciate them even more.
“Many afternoons I would just sit near
them watching,” she said. “I took up
sketching them which was very relaxing.”
One particular elephant, Buffy, came to
be very special to Ann.
“I felt bonded to her,” she said. “We became good friends.”
Ann found traveling to such an exotic place a real eye opener. The climate
alone was new to her. Constant humidity
and temperatures in the 80s and 90s made
life move slow and she had no concept of
Asia’s monetary system. And sometimes
she got caught up in the language barrier.
Despite this, she found the adventure more
than worthwhile.
“It’s hard to explain what you feel like
when you go to a land that is so foreign
wanted to eliminate dams throughout the
county.
Tiffany explained during a phone interview the reasons why he encouraged those
candidates to send out the flyers.
“I served on the town of Little Rice for
two years and we spent hours developing
a land use plan for our township,” he said.
“When it was presented to the Oneida
County board I didn’t feel it got the respect it deserved. Towns should have the
final say on how they use their land and
I didn’t feel the candidates that were in
those districts had respect for land use
plans that are drawn up by townships. Private property rights are very important to
me.”
Another concern for Tiffany is fiscal responsibility.
“I felt the candidates we backed with the
flyers were more fiscally responsible,” he
said.
He also stressed that party affiliation had
nothing to do with sending out the flyers.
“I don’t know what (political) party any
of those candidates have affiliations with,”
he said. “It was about those issues and had
nothing do to with being Democrat or Republican.”
While the election is almost a month
gone and all the candidates were sworn
on April 15, Knutson said he is waiting to
see how the campaign financial disclosures
play out when they are available. Candidates can only spend $1,000.
“I wanted to bring public attention to this
issue,” said Knutson. “We’re not all stupid.
If you go negative, people will call you on
it.”
to you,” she said. “It makes you super attentive to everything around you. And it
makes you think about your own life and
what is out in the world.”
Ann found her experience in Cambodia
so satisfying she decided to take another
adventure in 2012, this time to South Africa to the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Here she would have a chance
to work with African elephants and interact
with other jungle creatures.
And just this past March she traveled
to Botswana where she got to work with
a wide variety of creatures including cheetahs, rhinos, leopards and giraffes.
“Unfortunately there is a lot of poisoning
going on in Africa,” said Ann. “That leaves
a lot of animals either orphaned or sick or
worse, dead.”
Here Ann got to taste a common dish,
wildebeest.
“They eat a lot of it in Africa,” she said.
“We also fed it to the carnivores.”
Ann admits her recent adventures have
left an indelible mark in her heart and she’s
grateful that there are places in the world
where she can go and help, and interact
with such magnificent wild creatures.
“To be able to touch and get to know
such wild creatures in really very humbling,” she said. “There’s a lot to experience if you aren’t afraid to get out of your
comfort zone.”

Food
I sampled some awesome goat cheese
made at the Hillbilly Hollow Farm; a
friendly young lad participating in the
Farm to School program at Northland
Pines gave me a free packet of turnip
seeds for my own garden, and I had a real
interesting conversation with Esther Dolphin who was promoting her Naked Acres
Farm where organic vegetables, meat and
eggs are produced. There were booths
demonstrating environmental friendly
cleaning supplies and products for the
home; organic skin care products; native
plant demonstrations and even live bees at
the Oneida County Beekeepers booth.
Unique and eye opening ideas abound
at these types of fairs and I learned a lot as
I perused the booths. One idea came from
Rhinelander resident Jim Sholz who was
showing visitors how to preserve food in
a very unique way by using a clay chimney flue. I was more than interested as Jim
demonstrated how he buried the flue up to
its top then filled it with apples, carrots
and other root vegetables. The flue is then
covered with a piece of insulation and
then hay, straw or a layer of thick leaves is
mounded over that.
“All winter long you can go out and use
the vegetables stored like this,” he said.
“They keep right into the spring months.”
I was impressed with Jim as he showed
me carrots that looked like they had just
been harvested and apples with hardly a
wrinkle. And I felt like I had made a new
friend.
As a kid, I didn’t have any idea that my
parents were unknowingly teaching me
such important lessons when it came to
providing healthy food for the table. We
were living a sustainable life, a notion that
is thankfully gaining ground in this day
and age. I have learned during the years
that many times there is good reason to go
back to the days when vegetable gardens,
no matter how big or small, were the norm
and people took a more dedicated role in
producing their own food.
I have come to appreciate the satisfying
work it took to produce food for our family. Not only did I grow strong on such
nourishing sustenance but I learned with a
little effort I could also have the satisfaction of announcing, “Everything on this
table was produced in my own backyard.”

Downtown renovation
By Maggie Steffen
Downtown Rhinelander
Inc . executive director
“It’s been a long time coming, but I
know a change is gonna come”. (Sam
Cooke–A Change is Gonna Come)
What I’m talking about is the
Streetscape project that is now tentatively set for 2016. This project will
involve the very center of downtown
and while it will be a challenge, many cities have gone
through it and in the end they are so much better for it. This
is something that needs to be done and just like anything
there are two ways to look at. I’ve chosen to look at it this
way, we, the community, have a once in a lifetime opportunity; the opportunity to be involved in not only the way our
city will look, but the way it will grow and prosper.
The city of Rhinelander, Downtown Rhinelander Inc
and you, the Rhinelander Community will be partnering to
help the downtown through the work stage (buying local,
making a point of shopping, eating etc., in the downtown,
keeping our businesses thriving) and help design the look
of our future.
The first step is a public meeting. The engineering firm
involved with the project, Vierbicher Associates Inc. will
be holding this meeting Wednesday, April 30 at 5:30 p.m.
in the Hext Theater, 25 S Brown Street. The purpose of

Ministry Saint Mary’s earns Quality
Respiratory Care Recognition
Ministry Saint Mary’s Hospital has earned Quality
Respiratory Care Recognition (QRCR) under a national
program aimed at helping patients and families make informed decisions about the quality of the respiratory care
services available in hospitals.
About 700 hospitals or approximately 15 percent of hospitals in the United States have applied for and received
this award.
The QRCR program was started by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) in 2003 to help consumers identify those facilities using qualified respiratory
therapists to provide respiratory care. Hospitals earning
the QRCR designation ensure patient safety by agreeing to
adhere to a strict set of criteria governing their respiratory
care services.
“The Ministry Saint Mary’s Hospital respiratory therapy
team is devoted to providing exceptional quality care and

Rhinelander to host “Battle of the
Badges” Community Blood Drive
A Community Blood Drive will be held in Rhinelander Tuesday, May 6 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as a
“Battle of the Badges” friendly competition between
the Oneida and Vilas county law enforcement agencies.
The blood drive will take place at the Oneida County Sheriff’s Department, 2000 E. Winnebago St., and a
taco lunch will be provided to all donors.
“The Community Blood Center has provided a safe
blood supply to Wisconsin hospitals since 1955,” said
Jan Hadsell of the Community Blood Center. “We
couldn’t have done this without the continued support
of local blood donors. We are grateful for their generosity, and encourage you to join them in donating
blood on May 6.”
Advance donation appointments are recommended,
and may be made by calling Mary Goeldner at the
Oneida County Sheriff’s Department at 715-3615201. Walk-in donors are welcome, but scheduling an
appointment helps ensure a fast and convenient process.

this achievement is a direct result of keeping patients first
in everything we do,” Chris Krebs, Ministry Saint Mary’s
director of patient care services, said. “We’re honored to
have earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition.”
To qualify for the recognition, Ministry Saint Mary’s
provided documentation showing it meets the following
conditions:
- All respiratory therapists employed by the hospital to
deliver bedside respiratory care services are either legally
recognized by the state as competent to provide respiratory
care services or hold the CRT or RRT credential.
- Respiratory therapists are available 24 hours.
- Other personnel qualified to perform specific respiratory procedures and the amount of supervision required
for personnel to carry out specific procedures must be designated in writing.
- A doctor of medicine or osteopathy is designated as
medical director of respiratory care services.
- Hospital policy prohibits the routine delivery of medicated aerosol treatments utilizing small volume nebulizers,
metered dose inhalers, or intermittent positive pressure
treatments to multiple patients simultaneously. Circumstances under which this practice is permitted is defined
by policy.
- Use a process that periodically compares performance
of your respiratory department on efficiency and quality
metrics with similar departments for the purpose of identifying an achieving best practice.
The AARC’s QRCR program grew out of growing
concerns among healthcare leaders and the general public regarding the safety and quality of healthcare services
provided to patients. Hospitals that meet the QRCR requirements provide a level of respiratory care consistent
with national standards and guidelines, and should be
commended for their commitment to quality care. A list of
QRCR hospitals is maintained at the association’s website
for consumers, www.YourLungHealth.org.

gram space,” Schlitt said. “They also wanted a state of
the art pool.”
When the building was constructed it contained a full
gymnasium, a wellness center, aerobics studio, aquatic
center, generation center and child care center.
But the YMCA has become more than just a place to
work out and get healthy, Schlitt said, and that is no accident.
“We are a community organization,” Schlitt said. “We
are filling gaps in the community. We are not just a gym
and swim. We want to promote healthy living and youth
development.”
And that message has resonated throughout the community and has led to a large membership base for the
organization.
“We average around 5,000 members at any given
time,” Schlitt said.
To give back to that membership base, the YMCA has
sponsored programs and other initiatives to help members reach their goals no matter what they are.
“We have our Healthy Kids Day, our Livestrong program for those who are coming back after cancer treatments,” Schlitt said. “We have our Fit for Life program
which has had an impact to help people change their lifestyle to be more healthy. So there are lots of ways that we
get out into the community and provide these services
for people.”
Schlitt said the YMCA has also benefitted from partnerships with other community organizations. The biggest partnership is with Ministry Health St. Mary’s
Hospital. The hospital does all of its rehab work at the
YMCA to help support its mission.
The YMCA also partners with the Kiwanis Club to
sponsor the annual Hodag Run.
“It is important to have that cooperation,” Schlitt said.
“When two groups cooperate, other organizations see
that and it becomes infectious.”
And that spirit of cooperation is what will be on display at the May 2 party as everyone is welcome to take
part. A large sheet cake will be offered and special membership deals will be available to community members
that want to join the organization.
“It is a great time to come and join the Y family,”
Schlitt said.

I enjoy baking bread because it takes time and patience, and you need
to know when to modify the ingredients to get the best result. The same
is true in surgery – each patient has their own unique situation and
story that they bring to the table.
Congratulations
& Thank You
My goal is to take the time to listen carefully to each patient’s needs
and adjust our plan to achieve their best possible outcome. I have found
the proven recipe for success is when a surgeon, his patient, and their
family members are working together as a team.

Burmaster is a finalist for the president’s position at
Rochester Community and Technical College in Rochester, Minn., and is in the running for the position at Fred-
erick Community College in Frederick, MD.
Burmaster is a native of the Frederick, MD, area.
Early this year, Burmaster was a finalist for the president’s position at Edgewood College in Madison and
Rock Valley College in Rockford, Ill., but was not offered the position.
Jerry Shidell of Rhinelander, and I own a home remodeling

started to cause me great pain in 2009. As a healthy adult, I was surprised
to find both of my knees needed replacing. I made an appointment to see
Dr. Daniel TveDTen, a surgeon at Ministry’s Northland Orthopedic,
and together we decided to replace my left Knee in January 2010 and
my right in April 2010. Just like the houses I restore, a small improvement
can make a big difference. They gave me my life bacK.

Deploy
and whatever personal items that they can manage to
carry in the limited space they are allowed. In ‘09, we
were allowed an additional large plastic tote (approx.
24”x24”x36”) for personal gear (books, DVDs, video
games and players, maybe a softball glove, etc.). This is
not the case for the current deployment. With Operation
Enduring Freedom (OEF) coming to a close, the government is cutting expenses and there is neither the room nor
the funds to ship an additional amount of “fluff.”
In addition to the gear each soldier must bring, the
Company must bring a great deal of its’ equipment for
mission specific tasks. Large amounts of construction
tools of every variety have been packed and placed in
containers to be shipped overseas (we even brought our
own wheelbarrows). Moving that many soldiers and
gear also requires a great deal of logisitcal planning and
resources. In order to provide oversight and office support, enough supplies must be shipped to stock a headquarters element that acts as the administrative support
for the Company. Just as a small civilian company employing more than 150 people must have a personnel office to handle payroll and other human resources related
tasks, so must a military Company have a similar arm
to perform those functions. Imagine shipping the entire
contents of the offices in the place you work to another
country so that you can do your job there for a year, and
then ship it back when you are done. Computers, printers, files, copiers, you name it, we are likely bringing it
along with us.
Have you ever played the party game that poses the
question, “If you could only bring one or two things with
you to a deserted island, what would you bring?” In a
sense, soldiers deploying to Afghanistan and other places
around the globe have to answer this question. Our standard issue of gear fills two military duffel bags, at least.
We will also be carrying a ruck sack the size of a large
backpack. While we have not been given official word,
we may be authorized a third duffel (fingers crossed). If
so, this will likely be half full of issued gear, and that will
leave a small amount of room for personal items.
Each soldier will bring with them an assortment of
different items that he or she believes will be necessary
to their individual comfort or to occupy themselves in
periods of down time. To be sure, almost everyone will
bring some sort of electronic device such as a laptop or
tablet, an iPod or similar device with music and movies stored on it, and most will bring a camera of some
sort. Aside from those things, each will bring whatever
makes the time pass, and helps them to deal with the
stressors of being away from home, family and the daily
routine. All must keep in mind though that they must fit
it all in their gear bags or carry it on their person.
What happens to all of the “stuff” we bring? All of the
accountable items such as tools, issued gear, office equipment, weapons, must be shipped home when we leave.
Accumulated items such as souvenirs, and things that
have been mailed to a soldier overseas is often shipped
home via USPS at the soldiers expense, rather than carried or packed. Soldiers often pass personal items on to
their replacements when their deployment comes to a
close. I recall that when I was last in Afghanistan I left
behind more than 50 paperback books that I had either
brought along or had mailed to me. I must also add that
in 2009, everything we attempted to ship home in those
handy personal totes was stolen from the shipping container as it waited in Pakistan to be sent back to the States.
So, in a sense, we left all of that behind as well.
Each passing day here in Texas brings us closer to
the close of Pre-mobilization and the beginning of the
real deal. Final preparations continue on a daily basis,
both for the Unit and for the soldiers and their families.
“Have you prepared a will?” “Do you have a family-
care plan established?” “Who will be taking care of
your finances while you are gone?” All of these questions and more must have answers before soldiers leave
to go overseas. “How do I operate the lawn mower?”
“How do we light the pilot light?” “What temperature
do I cook the lasagna at and for how long?” “When do
we change the furnace filter?” “How often do you water
the flowers?” Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, anyone
leaving their families behind must answer these important questions as well.
As spouses, we take for granted that each other completes certain tasks around the house and when the time
comes that the other is not available to fill their role,
someone still has to see that the task is done. Deployments affect more than just those enlisted in the Armed
Forces, they impact husbands, wives, sons, daughters,
mothers, fathers, girlfriends, boyfriends, pets, employers, co-workers, etc. I am blessed to have the support
of many family members, friends, and co-workers. My
wife is the most caring and dedicated person I know.
She possesses the mental and emotional fortitude to
handle almost everything that is thrown her way. Even
so, taking on herself the tasks of keeping up with work,
kids, our home, laundry, vehicles, dogs, kids school
events, kids sporting events, personal finances, and all
of the other things that each of us do in our daily lives,
all while keeping a stiff upper lip and supporting their
soldier, is a tall order. I have the utmost respect for her
and others like her that are left to manage the day to day.
I sometimes feel soldiers have it easier. We have only
one job to do.
Thank you honey.

City of Rhinelander Water Utility Update
Running Water Credit
The City of Rhinelander Water Utility has observed that
frost has now released from ground surfaces in the
area, and the running water credit for Utility customers
will now come to an end for the 2014 winter season.
It will no longer be necessary to run water to prevent
freezing in the public water system.
Whereas the City has issued its first system-wide
run water notice this year, all utility customers will
be charged for water and sewer use in relation to
the average uses metered in our system normally
during the designated time period for this activity.
A credit for metered water use will be calculated based
on a difference of actual use and previous averages
measured last year.
The running water credit system has again this season
successfully minimized the freezing that can occur
in the public water system. The City of Rhinelander
appreciates the conservation of water used by the Utility
users in order to achieve a goal of frost-free operations.

Team Chemistry. Team Defense.
Pretty even draw between Lakeland and

What are your team’s strengths?
Goalkeeping, Coach ability and the desire to
improve each day.
What are your team goals?
To repeat as GNC Champions and progress
further in the WIAA Tournament.
How do you expect your team to
start off the season?
I would expect us to start out a little rusty
and sluggish due in most part to the weather
conditions and limited practice facilities.

What are some areas needed to work on?
Just getting out and playing. The snowy spring has not
allowed the team time on the course.
Who are the conference leaders?
Lakeland looks like the team to beat this year. Antigo will
also be very good.
How will the team start off the season?
The team opened the season taking fourth
with most players playing their first round
of the season. The top three leaders in the
match were the returners from last year
as expected.

Win conference outright and produce quality play as a team.
We have many players that can play multiple
positions on the field, so the players have
great fielding instincts.

With new players on the team, we need to
work on team chemistry and getting to know
how each other handles the ball. We will
have to stay solid as a defense, even when
behind, to come back and achieve our goals.

We are returning a lot of players from last year who got
their first taste of varsity action. We return almost all of
our pitching and hitting. So there is varsity experience that
many of our players can draw from. We are not great in any
one area but we are solid in all areas with very capable back
up players as well.
Pitching wise we need to throw more strikes this year especially early in the counts. Defensively we need to be more
consistent making the routine plays and offensively we have
to do a better job of hitting with runners in scoring position.

more than what it really is. That being said Antigo and Tomahawk have been picked to win our conference this year.

Outdoor Report
early spring snowfall
Slow spring thaw has made B J H
enjoying outdoors tough
All eyes now turn to the opening of open water fishing
season just a week away. And all bets are off on what
we’ll find that day.
Lake ice on most lakes in the area is turning dark, a
sure sign that it’s nearing breakup. Yet we continue to get
reports of thick ice that does remain. A hot day or two, a
hard rain, some high winds, those can all work to quickly
break up remaining ice but the week-long forecast does
not offer up that combination.
If the forecast runs true we can expect ice cover on
many lakes for the opening. We can also expect smaller
lakes to start to open up this week but unless the weather
comes in warmer than the forecast shows, it will be hit
and miss on open water.
All that will put pressure on open water rivers (expect a
lot of traffic in those areas) and on those lakes with open
water (again, how many are open is very much in question). Any water will be cold and cold water means a very
slow presentation with light tackle for walleyes.
We have seen northerns in shallow water this week and
that may still be the case next weekend. Walleyes will be
staging for the move to spawning beds as well (assuming
they do now move in under ice). But the key will be to
find open water and when you do, work slowly and patiently with small jigs or lures.
Turkey season continues but weather and low bird
numbers has put a damper on that as well. Reports are
sketchy and the woods in many areas are quiet where
a year ago the sound of gobbling toms filled the early
morning.
All in all the slow moving spring and lingering cold
has, as with last year, made this spring somewhat forgettable for all outdoor enthusiasts. The best we can hope
for is better days ahead.

Trading Post in downtown Rhinelander.
YMCA Summer
Day Camp offered
Summer Camp enrollment is now open. Some of the

Time, Super Heroes and Carnival Crazy.
Campers will also be going on a field trip each week; to
places including Wildwood Wildlife, Scheer’s Lumberjack Show, Weston Aquatic Center and Evergood Farms.
Activities focus on character development through the
Y’s four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Using a mix of counselor led and child led
activities, the programs focus on the natural curiosity
and development of children. The majority of the time is
spent outside with some time inside each day and scheduled time in the pool each week.
The YMCA Summer Day Camp is a licensed facility
and accepts Wisconsin Shares. Ages between 5 and 17
years old are welcome for both full-time and part-time
spots.
For more information, stop in at the YMCA of the
Northwoods or contact Abbie Cline at 715-362-9622 ext.
109 with any questions or to register.

Wisconsin DNR
wildlife biologist
Last week, I spent the most time
in the woods of any time since the
muzzleloader deer season ended.
After taking my son out for his
youth turkey season, I had my own
tag for the first turkey hunting period, which ran April 16 to 22. I had
a difficult time finding birds, or even signs of birds;
with the snowfall we had, I struggled to even find open
roads. While I did not get to see many turkeys, I had a
great opportunity to get out in the snow-laden woods
and check on the wildlife out there.
On April 17, we had well over a foot of snow in the
woods. The snow was granular and dense, so whenever it got below freezing, a strong crust forms. Wildlife
is actually getting around on top of the crusted snow
fairly well. I see coyote and wolf tracks crisscrossing
the roads and trails. The few turkey tracks I saw indicated they were walking without trouble. Rabbits and
snowshoe hares are very well equipped, as are squirrels. Deer were punching through the crust with their
sharper hooves, making walking more difficult. They
were trying to stay on established deer trails, snowmobile trails or road edges.
I saw little or no sign of rodent tracks. They had
constructed tunnel networks in the subnivium, which
is the area between the snow and the ground where
temperatures stay stable due to the heat released from
the ground and trapped by the insulating effects of the
snow blanket. Other than having to deal with a lot of
moisture, they move around more easily through the
soft, granular bottom snow layer, content to stay under
cover and feed on whatever seeds they can find. Rodents are an important part of the diet of owls, hawks,
foxes and coyotes; this lack of access to mice and
voles can’t be beneficial. They will have to turn to other food sources, like squirrels, rabbits, hares, grouse
and turkeys. Coyotes are able to use the snow to their
advantage to take down some winter-weary deer, too.
I noticed that some of the steeper south-facing slopes
were opening up. Some green plants were poking
through, which are valuable to lots of wildlife. Those
open slopes also give wildlife access to last fall’s seeds
and acorns, and some of the first insects of the year. I
saw mourning doves, robins, even red-winged blackbirds using these open areas. Areas with recent timber
harvest were opening up as well; the dark stumps and
branches absorb sunlight and help collect heat that
makes small gaps in the snow.
To my surprise, what I didn’t see were bear tracks.
Bears would normally be done with hibernation by
mid-April. I had one or two second-hand reports of
bears, and I heard about car-killed bears in the area.
They must be out, just not where I was hunting. Much
like last year, this spring I expect bears are going to
get in a little trouble, coming close to human homes to
try to find food. I know deer are working the feeders
by peoples’ homes; many people like to put out food
not only to see the deer, but also to try to help them. A
reminder that anyone feeding deer has to follow legal
guidelines, placing no more than two gallons of feed,
and not feeding in proximity to a road with a speed
limit of 45 mph or greater. Corn is not recommended;
go to your local feed store and buy the custom deer
food mix they have available. This gives them what
they need, and does not cause physical harm like
straight corn or oats can. If bears come to your feeder,
you need to discontinue for 30 days. Get the wildlife
feeding guidelines at dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/bait.html.
Head into the Northwoods if you can, and see for
yourself how wildlife has coped with our recordbreaking winter.

Outdoor Notebook
Spring season brings
more questions
By Roger Sabota
Special to the
Star Journal
Everywhere we go there are three
questions that are asked. The first is;
will the ice be off our Northern Wisconsin lakes by opening day, May 3?
The next question is how long will
Wisconsin anglers have to restrict
themselves to a bag limit of one walleye per day? Until spearing season is complete that question cannot be answered. Unfortunately a restriction of one
walleye per day simply encourages anglers to leave our
state to fish.
Finally there are many questions being asked about the
2014 deer hunting regulations. There are numerous changes that will take effect this fall for deer hunters.
Perhaps the change that affects the greatest number of
deer hunters is that there will be no antlerless deer tags
available in the Northern Forest Zone.
In years past, hunters had to know where boundaries for
deer management units were located. Now hunters can substitute county boundaries rather than deer management units.
Another change that has been debated over the recent
past years is that, beginning with the deer hunt this fall,
anyone who has a cross bow may hunt deer with it. There
are no more age restrictions or need for a doctor’s statement that a hunter has a handicap that prevents the hunter
from using a compound bow or a recurve bow. This regulation was finally passed after several years of sometimes
heated debate.
Bonus buck opportunities will be offered in the South-
Many lakes will see a one
walleye limit this season
The DNR has announced its bag limits for walleye in
2014-15 for the ceded territory.
For many area lakes, the bag limit for walleye will be
one. Boom Lake, Rainbow Flowage, Lake Thompson,
Lake Tomahawk and Willow Flowage will all have
a single fish bag limit this
season.
Lake Julia, Rhinelander
Flowage, Moen Lake and
Pelican Lake will have a
two fish limit.
The total daily bag limit
for walleyes is five. If the
lake being fished has a bag
limit less than five, fisherman can go to other lakes
to fill the daily bag limit.
While fishing, a fisherman cannot possess fish in
excess of that lake’s daily
bag limit. Therefore, the
DNR reminds anglers to
remove all fish from the
boat prior to fishing on a
second lake that also has a
restricted bag limit.
ern Farmland Zone Units only.
When a hunter purchases an archery license for this fall
the hunter must specify if a compound bow or a cross-bow
will be used. If that hunter has a tag for a compound bow
and wants to change his or her mind mid-way through the
season a $3 license will have to be purchased. The same
would apply if the hunter has originally purchased a regular archery license, he or she would have to purchase an
additional $3 license to then hunt with a cross bow. Only
one deer can be harvested with an archery license even
though the hunter has purchased both types of licenses. As
was mentioned several weeks ago you will save frustration
if you study the deer hunting regulations.
Now onto fishing. Mike Vogelsang, who is a DNR fisheries supervisor, has been quoted as saying that it is likely
that we will have ice on some lakes for the general season opener. He mentioned that the big snowstorm about
a week ago served to insulate the ice. If we get rain or
several days of warm sunshine the ice could melt quickly.
This year fisheries managers are predicting that we will
experience some fish kill. We lose fish when deep snow
prevents weed growth under the ice. Those lakes with
a large volume of water will most likely not experience
much winterkill. Buckskin, Little St. Germain, Thunder,
Irving, Long and Horsehead Lakes may suffer a substantial winterkill. A sulphur smell at the lake outlet can be an
indication that things went bad in the lake. Right now it is
a matter of wait and see according to Vogelsang.
Another activity that is in progress now is the Spring
Turkey hunting season. It looks as though in some areas
the turkey population took a severe hit. As with winterkill,
with deer and fish, all we can do is wait and see.
Enjoy spring when it finally arrives.
