FROM DOUG KURTZWEIL, CHAIR
New Year’s Greetings from the beautiful snow covered shores of your Chippewa Flowage! Just as summer
lingered, autumn hung around so long that lots of folks were worrying about a brown Christmas. Well,
things worked out and with so many people traveling, several inches of snow was probably better than several feet, but at least it was white. Since then we’ve gotten enough cold weather to make pretty good ice
and have topped it off with a couple of decent snowfalls that have successfully re-created the ‘winter wonderland’ right on cue. I have not gotten out ‘to play’ much at all yet, but be assured, I will! It’s just too darn
gorgeous!!
As most of you know, I like to do a ‘Janus’ this time of the year — pause…look back…and, then...look
ahead. I believe your CFAPOA made some progress over the past year on a couple of fronts. The Clean
Boats, Clean Waters project along with the Purple Patrol and ‘beetlemania’ not only seemed to have held
their ground in the ongoing war with invasives, but have made definite progress in several areas. The Big
Chip Fish Fest (BCFF) set records for work, fun, funds, and walleyes stocked that will be the new standards in our region. The Chippewa Flowage Forest Legacy Project, a multi-year effort supported by both
Democrat and Republican Congressmen and Governors, was successfully completed. It protects, in perpetuity, over 18,000 acres of forest and habitat south of the Flowage mostly between the Dam and the
Helsing Road. Watershed protection, sustainable forestry practices, and non-motorized recreational opportunities are guaranteed — and ‘development’, fragmentation, and gross exploitation are prohibited. After
over 5 years of trying, we were finally granted partial relief from the irrational, unscientific largemouth bass
regulations that have played a major role in the destruction of our once great walleye fishery. We have instituted enduring Conservation Funds that will, with adequate support, assure the financing for projects now
and well beyond the foreseeable future. Wow!! I should raise a glass to all of you — right now!
Let’s see, oh yeah, there are still some things to be done. The fishery surveys are proving what we predicted 6 years ago — loads of largemouth bass and not many walleyes. The fall shocking surveys indicate
barely enough survival of young-of-the-year walleyes to keep the fishing as ‘good’ as it was this year. That
is unacceptable to me! So, please support the BCFF as much as you can. We must continue to work to
get total relief from the irrational and unscientific bass regulations. The efforts to combat milfoil and loosestrife and other invasives remain critical in maintaining the quality of the Flowage and can always use more
help. There is always something to do. Then, a few weeks ago, another matter began to arouse my concern. There is a proposal to start a huge open-pit iron mine in the Penokee Range in southern Ashland
and Iron counties. I’ve done a little research but information on the project and the people seems hard to
find. The Ashland County Board was told the initial phase would be a pit about 3/10s of a mile wide by 4
miles long. The full project is planned to be over 5 times as long! Its location would be uphill of and less
than 10 miles from Augustine and Gordon Lakes — the headwater sources of the East Fork of the Chippewa River! They stated that the tailings--the mining wastes--would be deposited “on the southern slope”.
That would be even closer! A bill has been introduced in the Legislature to “streamline” (fast track) the permitting process and relax some of the requirements in current law. Your guidance and assistance has
never been more necessary. Any of you who know about this stuff or are willing to ‘dig’ into it, please let us
know at once!
I hope the phenomena of the past looking better than the future is just another sign that I’m getting old.
With your continued commitment and support I will do my best to meet those challenges our future appears
to hold. Stay warm, and keep your stick on the ice.

GOT PICS ?
by Mike Whetstone
Your Board is exploring the development of a 2013 wall calendar as a fundraiser featuring photographs of the Chippewa Flowage. We need your help! The
CFAPOA Board would like you to submit one or
more print photographs of the Chippewa Flowage
area, seasons on the Flowage, nature, recreation,
wildlife, fishing, sunrises/sunsets, etc. – you get the
“picture”. The calendar would make a terrific holiday, anniversary, family or birthday gift.
The rules are simple. Send a print copy of any
photograph(s) you wish to submit for review. Do not
submit photos that can only be scanned as scanning
reduces the clarity of images. Photographs will be
selected by a panel of the Board and print photographs will not be returned. Winners will be notified
and they will need to submit digital copies of their
photographs for inclusion in the calendar. Submission of photos, in both print and digital format, constitutes permission for the CFAPOA to include photographs in the calendar, and to market, distribute and
sell the calendar. Winners will be asked to execute
a permission to use form before any photograph is
used in the production of the calendar. The format
will be a two-piece display depicting a photograph
above and the month below. Cost has not been established, but it will certainly be reasonable. Watch
later CFAPOA newsletters for information as this
project develops.
Submit your entries by March 31, 2012, to
CFAPOA, P.O. Box 555, Hayward, WI 54843-0555.
Make sure you include your name and contact information (i.e. telephone number and/or e-mail address) and mark in the lower left corner of the envelope “Picture Contest”. Good luck to all who submit
entries!

BIG CHIP FISH FEST
by Rick Marks, BCFF Co-Chair with John Kaiser
(Pictures courtesy of John Kaiser)
Friday, October 14th, with the approval of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and
Dave Neuswanger, 20,000 Extended Growth
(EG) Walleye's were stocked into the Chippewa Flowage in the following locations, Deerfoot
Lodge & Resort 5,000 (east), Lake Chippewa Campground 5,000
(east-central), Sisko's Pine Point Resort 5,000 (west-central), Crane Lake 1,000
(west), and Tiger Musky 4,000 (west).
Fish were raised and delivered by a private hatchery Gollon Bait and Fish Farm from Dodgeville Wisconsin.
The Extended growth walleye fingerlings were approximently 7" in length with some reaching 10". All fingerlings traveled well, zero fish were lost. Conditioins were ideal, with lake temperatures 57 degrees (F), truck
temps 58 degrees (F). The first truck arrived early the 14th with stocking beginning shortly after 7:00 am.
The second truck fininshed the process around noon. With 19,000 fingerlings stocked last year (2010), it
brings the efforts of the Big Chip Fish Fest (BCFF) to 39,000 total WALLEYE'S STOCKED.
The BCFF is an event of the Chippewa Flowage Area Property Owners Association (CFAPOA) and is held
annually on Father's Day at "The Landing Resort" in the middle of the "Big Chip". Denny Reyes and his staff
have done an excellent job hosting the event. The event is sponsored by Lake Chippewa Flowage Resort
Association (LCFRA), Walleye's For Northwest Wisconsin (WFNW), and the CFAPOA, all donating $4000.00
each. Support from local business and individuals alike has been remarkable! Major donors include: Treeland Resorts, Tiger Musky Resort, The Landing, Northern Lakes Co-op, Lynns Custom Meat and Catering,
L.C.O. Tribal Board, Spider Lake Golf Course, S.C.O.P.E, Timber Ridge Landscaping and Design, Randy
Eytcheson Landscaping, Ron Klimcke of American Suzuki, Bret Alexander Guide Service of Green Bay, John
& Marlen Kaiser, Steve & Connie Kelsey, Gary & MaryLou Hosler and Hayward Home Center.
BCFF 2012 - "Father's Day" at The Landing .... see ya there.

20,000 EXTENDED GROWTH WALLEYES INTO THE BIG CHIP!
by John Kaiser, BCFF Co-Chair with Rick Marks
The first Gollon truck arrived
loaded with 16,000 extended
growth walleyes at Deerfoot Resort at daylight. The fish were
isolated in 16 segregated insulated and oxygen fed tanks.
There were 1000 walleyes in
each tank and none were floaters.
It was cold and really windy as
5000 walleyes were planted at the
boat landing.

4000, the last of the 20,000 total
were delivered by a second Gollon
fish farm truck to Tiger Musky Resort. The Spero's family conducted
a season long fundraising effort to
support the stocking. They raised
over $1800.00 - a great effort! In
this picture, John Kaiser watches as
the walleyes pour out at the Tiger
Musky's boat landing.
John Kaiser and Rick Marks present checks of $28,000 from the BCFF (Big
Chip Fish Fest) and $4000 from Walleyes for Northwest WI to the Gollon Fish
Farm driver. At the end of the day, 20,000 of these golden beauties were swimming in the flowage. That amounts to 1.3 fish per acre, an astounding accomplishment in the 15,300 acre Big Chip. This was the culmination of a summer &
fall of fund raising by a coalition of partnerships thanks go out everyone who
helped make this incredible day possible!!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR VACATION HOME?
by Chris Jeffords
At an annual convention of Wisconsin Lakes some time ago I attended a very interesting,
timely and probably appropriate seminar for some CFAPOA members on what actions
could be taken to help keep vacation homes in the family. While some may have already
taken steps to provide for their property in their wills, if you haven’t this may provide the
incentive to do so. It was given by the WL legal advisory and between the handouts and
my notes I will try to summarize most of the key points here.
Why take any action?
A. Huge asset - like many homeowners recently, the value of our home and cabins have at best held their
value if not declined somewhat. But what still remains is a large asset whether we purchased it years
ago or not. Financially it may make sense to keep it in the family for tax/estate tax reasons.
B. Many memories … Aside from the financial aspect, for many of us it has been a place to enjoy ourselves, our children and grandchildren. Fishing, swimming, boating and all the memories we have of
the times on the lake watching our families grow through the years. We hope to pass this on to the next
generation so they can enjoy the same.
Some options:
A. Immediate transfer - the owner can transfer the title and still retain the right to use for the rest of their life
(life estate) or any of many other conditions in the transfer.
B. Vacation home trust - the owner can transfer the title in a revocable trust that allows the owner to
change their mind if the need the asset.
C. Cottage-in-common agreement - this option is similar to a partnership where multiple family members
agree upon a set of terms in contractual form. Shared use, responsibilities, governance and rights for
sale or dissolution are all covered.
D. Cottage club or company - this option usually involves the creation of a nonstick corporation or limited
liability company as a separate entity but limiting membership to the family. This can be somewhat complex and suitable primarily for businesses, partnerships, etc.
Some considerations:
As you may be going through the options for your particular situation, there are some basis considerations
that need to be addressed.
A. The family. Are the owners married? How old are the owners? Do they hope and expect to keep the
cottage for the remainder of their lives? Do the owners have assets that could be used to establish a
fund to assist in future vacation home taxes and other expenses? How many children do the owners
have? Are all of the children interested in the cottage? Do they live nearby? Are all of the children financially able to carry their weight? Are they married? How many grandchildren do the owners expect? Are there issues of divorce, stepchildren, or blended families? Do the owners have sufficient assets not requiring sale? Are the children financially stable? Do they have adequate incomes to afford
proper care of the vacation home? Do the owners have sufficient assets (other than the vacation home)
to cover potential long-term medical care?
B. The property. Is the property in good shape, or is there significant deferred maintenance? Will significant capital improvements be required in the foreseeable future to maintain the property’s value and
utility? Is the vacation home located on a small lot or a larger holding? Would a future division of the
property to create separate ownership interests for more than one child be feasible? What property
(boats, piers, home furnishings, etc) should be included?
Published 1/00/12 (bes)

CFAPOA Newsletter
... OUR VACATION HOME? - continued
C. The taxes. Capital gains
from the sale of property is
taxable as determined from
the property’s purchase
price and adjustments to
current value when it is
transferred to a descendent
upon the owner’s death. Estate tax at
death values the assets of the estate
and certain prior transfers. Planning
must be coordinated with broader estate planning matters. Gift taxes do tax
gifts above an inflation-adjusted minimum amount per person per year. In
addition, there’s a lifetime exclusion of
a specified amount. Giving the vacation home to children would consume
that minimum and eat into, if not consume, the lifetime exclusion. The effect
of gift taxes is generally managed in an
estate plan.
Generation-skippingtransfer tax does tax a gift to a grandchild, or similar distance in kinship or
age, at the highest federal estate tax
rate. And finally, property taxes need to
be kept up. How will they be paid?
With all of this in mind, what should I do?
This brief summary of the session at the annual WL Convention is only a beginning
glance at the issues involved in transferring
ownership of properties such as lake homes.
Further and more in-depth analysis should be
a next step if one is at all interested. Determine if keeping your lake home in the family
is a legacy you may want to leave, and if so,
obtain assistance to help outline the details
and make the transfer work for you and your
family. Your children, grandchildren and
hopefully generations to come will remember
and thank you.

Chippewa Storage Reservoir Forecast
Elevation as of December 7, 2011: 1312.08 ft.
Season: Winter 2011-12
Typical Winter Low Elevation: 1308.0 ft.
2011-12 Projected Winter Low Elevation: 1308.0 ft.
Comments
► Moderately strong river inflows to the reservoir through
the Fall period allowed the reservoir elevation to fill to
within one-foot of the normal full elevation, in spite of
sparse precipitation from September 1 – November 30
(3.55”).
► Based on the current reservoir level and the moderately
strong inflow going into the winter season, Xcel Energy
forecasts to draw down the reservoir to an elevation of
1308.0 ft. this winter. The drawdown last winter was 5.25
ft. (elevation 1307.75 ft.).
► The projected 1308.0 ft. drawdown elevation is based on
an average winter snowpack and moderately strong river
inflows into the reservoir during the winter months.
► Discharge flows from the dam will be maintained slightly
above minimum levels (>250 cubic feet per second) at
the onset of winter with increases in discharge through
the winter months to reduce the reservoir to the projected
1308.0 ft. elevation.
► Xcel Energy intends to monitor the reservoir level, snowpack, and inflows throughout the winter season to determine if it is necessary to modify the target winter low elevation.
► If significant snowpack begins accumulating during the
winter season, additional water will be drawn from the
reservoir, which will likely reduce the reservoir level below the projected 1308.0 ft. elevation.

the Chippewa Reservoir dam, please go to the Wisconsin
DNR’s website at the following address and click on the link

Loons on the Chippewa Flowage
by Nancy and Jerry Johnson
Our 2011 loon count was patterned after those conducted by LoonWatch at Northland College. Normally these surveys are done once every 5 years.
Last summer’s survey was added because they
wanted to assess the effect of the gulf oil spill on
loon population. The next scheduled Wisconsin
Loon Population Survey will be in 2015.
► Many ice drownings involve children. When your
child is near the ice, you should be near your
child.
► Avoid alcoholic beverages when you’re on the
ice. They can make you feel colder and slow
down your reaction time in case of an ice emergency.
► Carry two large nails to use as ice picks to pull
yourself out if you fall through thin ice.
► Never drive on the ice at night.
► Avoid pressure ridges and areas with current, if
you do choose to drive on the ice.
► Drive with your windows down and doors partially
open to avoid becoming trapped if your car
breaks through.

more about loons or become involved in other ways
visit the LoonWatch website at www.loonwatch.org/
LoonWatch conducts an Annual Lakes Monitoring
Program. Individuals known as “loon rangers” can
choose a lake in Wisconsin on which to monitor
loons from ice out to ice in. Forms are sent out in
the spring on which to record things such as when
loons arrive, if they nest, if they have chicks, and if
there have been any threats to the nest site. You
might choose a part of the flowage where you live or
go often. Since this is done individually, you can
monitor as often as you wish and on the days you
choose. If this sounds interesting visit the LoonWatch website above. Under “Pages” choose Loon
Ranger Frequently Asked Questions.
There is a wealth of information about loons at this
website, including a link to the loons that were implanted with satellite tracking devices used to follow
their migration this fall. You can see where individual loons from northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, and
Michigan are spending their winter.
