A group from Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Fall Ride’s official sponsor Dairyland Cycle Insurance, Bubba’s Big Party, the downtown Street Dances and other stakeholders have been meeting during the winter and spring months to come up with new ideas and events to continue to grow the Fall Ride. As the largest annual motorcycle rally in Wisconsin, tens of thousands of motorcyclists are expected to drop their kickstands in Tomahawk later this year to take part in the many activities planned, to enjoy the camaraderie of the event and to take in the scenic beauty that is fall in the Northwoods. The event also serves as one of the largest fundraisers for the regional Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), annually generating around $100,000 for the organization to help families living with the neuromuscular disease. This year marks 34 years since a group of local motorcyclists got together to tour the magnificent colors that are on display in the Tomahawk area each fall.

Our small Northwoods community celebrates the Fourth of July in a big way as festivities get underway a day in advance and run almost nonstop through the big holiday. The Tomahawk Regional Chamber of Commerce and Tomahawk Lions Club kick things off Friday, July 3 as they host the annual Arts and Craft Fair at SARA Park starting at 9 a.m. The daylong event features many vendors with a wide range of unique items on display. The fair includes live music, and food and refreshments are available until around 3 p.m. Later that evening, activities move to Veterans Memorial Park as the chamber hosts the third annual Party in the Park starting at 4:30 p.m. The familyoriented event will feature bouncy houses for children, food and refreshments and the Beatles tribute band, The Britins, will perform. The Milwaukee band recreates the era that influenced so many of today’s artists, performing hits from “Love Me Do” to “Let It Be.” Across the river, the Kwahamot Ski Club will hold its annual Alumni Show at 8 p.m. Activities get underway bright and early Saturday, July 4 with the annual Tomahawk Pow Wow Days 5K/10k/Fun Run at 8:30 a.m., with 30 years Experience Licensed & Insured References Ken Van Boxtel New Construction & Roofing Kitchen & Bath Remodeling - Garages Windows - Doors Siding - Additions N9255 Sanctuary Rd.

The band Slab will perform on The Liquor Store stage at the west end of Wisconsin Avenue from 2:15 to 4:30 p.m. There’s a short break before evening activities start up with the Kwahamot Water Ski Show at 8 p.m. Those watching the ski show at Veterans Memorial Park and Kwahamot Park will want to stick around as the Tomahawk Lions Club’s annual July 4 fireworks show gets underway at dusk. SARA Park provides an additional viewing area to watch the impressive display, where the Lions Club will be hosting live music this year. No other community its size celebrates July 4 quite like Tomahawk. Make plans to take part and be in town for the Tomahawk Pow Wow Days celebration. ALIVE in the Northwoods 2015 Tomahawk hosting world’s largest antique outboard boat motor show By Jed Buelow Tomahawk Leader City Editor [email protected] Some of the oldest and rarest outboard boat motors still in existence will be on display in Tomahawk Aug. 5-8 as the Northwoods Chapter of the Antique Outboard Motor Club International (AOMCI) hosts its 36th annual Tomahawk Boat Show at SARA Park. The world’s largest antique boat motor show is expected to be even bigger this year as the gathering of vintage boat and motor enthusiasts will serve as the celebration for AOMCI’s 50th year in existence. Vendors from across the country and beyond will gather in Tomahawk to take part in the four-day event, which includes an outboard boat motor museum located inside the SARA Park arena and swap meet along with plenty of races and time trials featuring old motors taking place on Lake Mohawksin. Some of the earliest motors and boats ever made (including the locally built, wood-frame Tomahawk) will be on display. Thousands of spectators and participants are expected to idle into SARA Park for the show. Event organizers invite the public to stop by and take a stroll down memory lane while viewing the many outboard motors and boats on display. The SARA Park museum is open to the public and admission is free. Spectators are also invited to view the many races and time trials featuring a number of antique boat motor categories.

The Tomahawk Fishing Unlimited organization will also be acknowledged. •It has not been uncommon for local families to see multiple members of their families serve our country. Three generations of the Turnbull family will be recognized in the military room, along with the collection of uniforms and memorabilia from all wars. There are many other interesting pieces of history in the two buildings, as well as an outdoor display of “On Target,” a prototype boat built by the Tomahawk Boat Mfg. Co., and an old steam engine. There is certainly something to interest everyone! We invite local folks, visitors and class reunions to take time to visit the past. Our museums located on East Washington Avenue near the Chamber office are open June 16 through Aug. 21, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays. PublicSafety! We’re here to serve. AIN15 TOM175 The Tomahawk Area Historical Society is commemorating its 28th year of recalling and sharing Tomahawk’s history in our two museums. The first museum came to be about 100 years after our city was founded. In 1987, a long-time downtown log cabin which served as an information center about to be demolished was rescued by a group of residents who, together with businesses, oversaw moving the building to its current location on East Washington Avenue. In 2000, the city’s first school building was vacated when the School District Administrative Offices moved. Again, local folks interested in preservation, namely historical society members, acquired the building, creating the second museum across the street from the log cabin. Historical Society members are proud of the information and memories their summerseason exhibits have presented through the years. New exhibits this season include: •The Whittier School, the architecturally beautiful structure that was Tomahawk’s first high school and is featured in the schoolroom. •Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother who were teachers and nurses here many years ago will be remembered. A group of Sisters from Italy will be visiting Tomahawk this summer. •Descendants of the Kahn family, early Tomahawk residents, will share their family’s story in the log cabin.

They play blues and everything in between, featuring horns, guitars, dynamic keys and a fantastic rhythm section. Meyer considers Tomahawk fortunate to have booked them again as “they are starting to get more international and national exposure.” In 2013 The Jimmys earned a number of honors from the Madison Area Music Awards, including Artist of the Year, Blues Performer of the Year, Keyboard of the Year-Jimmy Voegeli, Brass Instrumentation of the Year, 2013 Woodwind Instrumentalist of the Year-Darren Sterud and Peterson Ross. The group also received the 2012 Best Swing/Big Band Ensemble by the WAMI. Wednesday, July 29 – Rockwell: A newer group from Stevens Point that plays classic rock from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

From the Wisconsin River being open to walleye fishing year-round to chasing trophy musky on one of many local flowages, anglers in the Tomahawk area have plenty to choose from when it comes to targeting local waters. And unlike the lakes region farther to the north or the Great Lakes, a big boat and expensive equipment aren’t necessary to get in on some of the best fishing around as a number of dams that dot the landscape provide exceptional fishing right from shore. Make sure to keep checking back on dams throughout the summer as many anglers make the mistake of only targeting them during the spring. Often a nice panfish and walleye bite will develop during the dead of summer, and other fish species like musky and bass will migrate to the cooler water when things begin to heat up. Some of the dams to keep an eye on that provide great shoreline fishing include Bradley Dam, Jersey Dam, Spirit Dam, Kings Dam and Pride Dam as well as Grandmother Dam and Grandfather Dam south of Tomahawk on the Wisconsin River. While every body of water is different and conditions change throughout the year, some generalizations can be made when targeting any number of species on local flowages. Some places to always target include stump fields and weed beds, railroad trestles and underneath bridges and, of course, below dams. These areas can hold walleye, bass, big crappies, bluegills and some trophy muskies can be found lurking in these areas during different times of the year. How to best go about targeting a specific species depends on the season as well as angler’s preference. It is hard to beat a simple hook and sinker tipped with a fathead or a jig and twister tail worked along the bottom below dams and around trestles. Small crappie minnows below a slip bobber or plastics can also be pretty productive when crappies get active around submerged wood. And it is hard to beat a topwater like the locally handcrafted Nimmer Swimmer Wolly Pog worked along a cabbage bed on a summer evening for muskies. While area flowages provide plenty of fishing opportunity throughout the year, the Tomahawk area is also blessed with an abundance of small lakes and trout streams that often go overlooked. The beautiful Harrison Hills region provides a seemingly endless number of small pothole lakes that are full of nice bluegills, crappies and even trout that anglers can target to take home a meal. Upper stretches of area river systems and flowages can also provide great fishing opportunity as many can only be accessed using kayak or canoe. Some of these stretches have provided exceptional smallmouth bass fishing in the past. Lincoln County is also home to one of the best trout waters in all of Wisconsin. The Prairie River in the Gleason area has long been a top destination for trout anglers from throughout the state, and exploring any number of smaller streams crisscrossing the area, like the Little Bearskin Creek in southwestern Oneida County, can provide a very rewarding day on the stream. Those new to fishing the greater Tomahawk area or who would like to expand their fishing knowledge of local waters might want to consider hiring a guide from one of the local bait shops before heading out – stump fields on Lake Alice and rock bars on the Spirit Reservoir can do real damage to motor props. And many of the local guides can offer decades of experience that can greatly cut down on the learning curve to locate some of the better spots on any given body of water. Whether from the shoreline, canoe, kayak or boat, experienced anglers know what sets Tomahawk apart as a top fishing site is the ample fishing opportunity the region provides. Get out and explore some of these fishing opportunities yourself and find out why many consider Tomahawk one of the state’s premiere fishing destinations. Fish recipes from Kris Winkelman From the Kitchen of Kris Winkelman Oven Crispy Walleye Sometimes the most delicious main courses are also the easiest ones to make. Here is a perfect example of this. I promise you’ll love it as much as my family does! 6 walleye fillets ¼ cup butter, softened ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped) 1 egg ¼ cup milk Pinch garlic powder ¾ cup bread crumbs ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese Salt and pepper to taste RECIPES continued on Page 15 ALIVE in the Northwoods 2015 15 -- Tomahawk Leader -- 13 RECIPES continued from Page 14 Beer Cheese Gills OK, coming from Wisconsin I am required to like beer, cheese and fish. I admit it, I do. So here’s a dish that combines that trio into one fantastic experience! 1 pound bluegill fillets ¼ cup sliced green onions 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon flour ½ teaspoon dry mustard ¼ teaspoon caraway seeds ½ cup milk ½ cup shredded cheese 4 tablespoons beer In a greased baking dish, arrange fish and bake in a 450˚ oven until fish flakes. Meanwhile, sauté onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour, mustard and caraway seeds. Add milk, then stir until thick and bubbly. Add cheese and beer and cook until the cheese melts. Pour the cheesy goodness over your fish and serve. Fresh Roasted Fish and Vegetables Here’s a fast, easy, tasty way to make everyone in your family happy. I like to serve it with wild rice and some tasty bread. And if there should happen to be any leftovers, they’re great the next day too. ½ pound fresh asparagus spears (cut in half) 2 small zucchinis (cut in half lengthwise and then into ½ pieces) 1 red bell pepper (cut into thin slices) ½ purple onion (sliced in quarters) Olive oil Fresh dill Steak seasoning 4 walleye (or 8-10 crappie) fillets 1 tablespoon butter (melted) with garlic to taste Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl add all vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with steak seasoning. Spray glass baking dish with nonstick spray and add vegetables. Bake 10 minutes until vegetables are tender crisp. In another glass baking dish (also sprayed), place fish fillets and brush with butter, steak seasoning and dill. Place in middle of oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until fish flakes.

While the big draw is the amazing ribs offered at a great price, the event also serves as a community picnic that benefits all of Tomahawk. The Tomahawk Lions donate 100 percent of proceeds from Thrilla on the Grilla back to other non-profit organizations. The club and the teams competing in the rib cook-off have donated tens of the thousands of dollars to Tomahawk area volunteer organizations since the Thrilla began almost a decade ago. The smell of hundreds of racks of baby back ribs grilling starts early Saturday in downtown Tomahawk as teams prepare to feed the masses who will begin arriving around noon. Along with the People’s Choice, one of the teams will take home the Judge’s Choice Award decided by a panel of expert judges that once again features famous rib guru Larry Raymond, inventor of Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce. You might even want to bring along a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s as Raymond has been known to autograph bottles for grill enthusiasts. Everyone is invited to attend the Thrilla on the Grilla as the event held in historic downtown Tomahawk includes a huge raffle, live music, family entertainment, a corn roast and plenty of other fun to go along with the rib contest, which is held from noon to 5 p.m. Tickets go on sale in the weeks leading up to the rib contest at a number of Tomahawk businesses. Individuals planning to attend will want to get their tickets in advance as Thrilla on the Grilla is one of Tomahawk’s tastiest and most anticipated events to take place all summer and sold out once again last year.

The group had two poker runs, two raffles, a Christmas party and a Spring Dinner. We are a social club. Our objective as a club is to spread the good word about snowmobiling, snowmobiling safety and having fundraisers to donate funding to area snowmobile trails. We also like to donate to a few local charities, too. We like to increase public awareness as to why snowmobile clubs have so many fundraisers. It is an enormous expense to keep the trails maintained. Many people are unaware of this fact. Fundraisers are the key ingredients to the continuing existence of our great snowmobile trails. Maintaining the trails costs tens of thousands of dollars in equipment and fuel, plus the countless volunteered manhours. The Northwoods Passage alone has over a million dollars in equipment and operating expenses for one season are about $150,000! Without fundraisers, there would be no trails. We have some of the best trails in the state here in the Tomahawk area. These great snowmobile trails bring in a lot of out-of-town business. We hear a lot of good reports about our community from these visiting snowmobilers. Snowmobiling is becoming more popular as a winter sport. There are currently 596 snowmobile clubs in the state of Wisconsin, and over 22,000 miles of marked trails in the state! Wisconsin trails are ranked in the top 3 trail systems in the nation. The new Wisconsin Trail Pass Law will come into effect as of July 1. These passes must be purchased annually. They are separate from your snowmobile registration. If you belong to a snowmobile club that is affiliated with the AWSC (Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs) the trail pass is only $10 per sled. Local snowmobile clubs are not responsible for these trail passes. This is the snowmobile owner’s responsibility. You can get your passes through the AWSC office after July. You can get them by phone, online, by mail or right from the office. You will need to provide them with your AWSC membership number. If you belong to a local club you will get this number from them. If you are not a club member, you can purchase your trail pass through the DNR. You still have to register your sleds with the state. The rates will now be $30 for three years instead of every two years. Out-of-state (non-resident) passes will increase to $50. Club memberships alone will not result in a discount for the non-resident trail pass. If you don’t live in Wisconsin, you can still register your sled here providing that your state’s law allows you to do so. If you do this, you can join a snowmobile club and the same fees will apply to you as do us. The pass will only be $10. This new law is a good law. It will help generate income for the good of the snowmobile trails. There are still many riders out there who don’t belong to any clubs or even support club fundraisers. This past year the Harshaw Wanderers raised over $8,000. We were happy to donate to the Northwoods Passage, Northern Trails Unlimited, Cassian and Nokomis Fire Departments, Nokomis Food Pantry, the Veterans Snowmobile Ride and the Never Forgotten Honor Flight. Fundraising continues this summer as we will be selling our “famous fried cheese” at the Nokomis Lawn Mower races. For more about our club, contact Gina Hensel at 715-499-4787. Help author find out Jaycee totem pole history By Frank Rippinger Back in 1956, the Tomahawk Jaycees built, painted and installed two colorful totem poles in the downtown area. One was placed on the center island boulevard on South Tomahawk Avenue, just south of Bradley Bank. The other one was placed at the tip of the center island across from East Wisconsin Avenue and North Fourth Street. They were identical in design, but with slightly different paint schemes. Both stood about 20-feet high. These colorful symbols of Tomahawk were maintained by the Jaycees and were popular tourist attractions for more than 15 years. But what happened to them? The one on East Wisconsin Avenue and North Fourth Street toppled over after splitting at its base in November 1971. The totem pole on South Tomahawk Avenue is a bit more of a mystery. It did stand through the summer of 1975, or possibly longer. I haven’t been able to find out any information on when it was removed or what happened to it. I’m appealing to readers of the Tomahawk Leader to help me find an answer to this question, and to find out who originally built the totem poles back in 1956. I’m seeking photos and any other information regarding the Jaycees totem poles of downtown Tomahawk. Please call 630-406-7648, evenings or weekends.

AIN15 MYR200 HOURS: Mon.-Fri. 8-5; Sat. 8-12 AIN15 NCR100 It’s been a long time coming but Frank Rippinger’s interest in preserving parts of Tomahawk’s past has resulted in a book that will be of interest to locals and visitors alike. “Color Post Cards of Tomahawk, Wisconsin, Including Heafford Junction and Hazelhurst” has been about a 12-year project,” the first-time author notes. An Illinois resident, Rippinger says he’s been coming to the Tomahawk area since 1969, when he was 10 years old. “My aunt and uncle owned an A-frame cottage on Jenny Lake north of town,” he shares. “I was ‘hooked’ on the north country from the start, and have been coming back ever since. “I started collecting post cards in the 1970’s from resorts I would stay at. That expanded into collecting resort and tourism literature of northern Wisconsin resort areas, but the Tomahawk area was always my favorite of all,” he states. “I would always buy local books of northern Wisconsin when on vacation there, because if I can’t be ‘up north,’ at least I can read about (it) when I’m not there. “Then, one day about 12 years ago, I realized that I had quite a few color post cards of Tomahawk, Heafford Jct. and Hazelhurst, and that it would be nice to get them into a book so that others could enjoy them too,” he relates. Scenes found in the colorful, 62-page book include: Downtown Tomahawk; Stores of the Tomahawk Area; Motels, Bars and Restaurants; Kwahamot Ski Club; U.S. Hwy. 51 Bridge; Aerial Views and Tomahawk Area Map; Resort Scenes; Multi-Views & Scenic Views; Heafford Jct. Wis. Scenes; and Hazelhurst, Wis. Scenes. Examples of some of the post cards feature views of Duck Point Resort, The Outpost Campground; Twin Bay Resort, Red Arrow Lodge, Don’s Manson Lake Camp Ground; Swamp Lake Resort; lake scenes of Lake Nokomis and Manson Lake, Mrs. Magnus’ Dutch Mill Candy and Gifts (The Windmill); Jim’s 26 24 -- Tomahawk Leader -- ALIVE in the Northwoods 2015 AIN15 SAI250 ALIVE in the Northwoods 2015 2015 Pages 27-32 CALENDAR of Events (Note: This is just a sampling of events in our area.
