The passing of Mike Wyland
** Michael Wyland, 73, born in Tomahawk, self-employed carpenter (died Dec. 20, 2017; memorial service Saturday, Jan. 6, from 3-8 p.m. at Willow Funeral Home, Algonquin, Ill). ** I remember Mike as a 'free-spirited' boy when we were both just little punk kids in the early 50s. We were always 'rivals...

Re: Concealed carry
Stupid to have carte blanche ability to carry a weapon. I agree with Old Scout. There must be some training involved, some licencing, some accountability, etc. Cripes, compare it to driving a car. Stupid, stupid, stupid the way this proposed law is written. Where is common sense ?!?! Those state pol...

Motorcycle fatality / Fall Ride 2016
Sad to read that a Tomahawk man died in a motorcycle crash on Labor day. Sadder still to read in the Tomahawk Leader is the following portion of the article: Reports were he was not wearing a helmet and speed and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors. See tomahawkleader.com for the full ar...

Re: Stolen religious artifact
I can't believe this is happening in my hometown of Tomahawk !!! Unbelievable !!! If someone honestly thought that it was abandoned property and OK to take please just return it and chalk it up to a stupid mistake. If you knew you were stealing it find a way to get it back to the owners and become a...

Re: Good Samaritan could be jailed
Saw this posted on the online version of the Leader:
UPDATE: The Leader has learned that this case resulted in a plea bargain and was settled. Orlikowski was not, at the last minute, required to travel to Merrill for a Thursday trial.

Re: ATV's on the streets
There is enough 'traffic' on any streets these days...autos, trucks, motorcycles, bikes, pedestrians, etc. ATVs just don't seem like a good addition by any (at least my) test of reasonableness. What's next...go-carts, gas powered skate boards, anything else that uses gas and can transport people? Th...

Re: Gun Control Law Proposals
Of all the shootings that have taken place from way back to the Tower of the University of Texas in Austin shooting in 1966 I've never heard of anyone using a fully automatic rifle. I may be wrong. Little consolation....but I'm somewhat relieved by that fact. God forbid if it ever does occur. Pray i...

Re: Gun Control Law Proposals
Very scary to hear that fully automatics are legal anywhere in the US. Didn't know that. Always ASSumed that fully autos were illegal.
Darn scary...but maybe that's just me...

Re: Gun Control Law Proposals
Asterix...is that correct what you said...that it's not illegal to own an automatic weapon? To me an automatic weapon is one where as long as I hold the trigger down rounds will keep firing...think machine gun. Semi-automatic is where I have to squeeze the trigger for each round that fires. Are you ...

This was 47 years ago. April 3, 1965. An amazing prediction. Do you remember the famous ABC radio commentator Paul Harvey?
Millions of Americans listened to his programs which were broadcast over 1,200 radio stations nationwide.

Re: Bridger traps
I have to agree with Renee's posting. There can be arguments until **** freezes over about how to kill (opps, harvest) wildlife but using traps and snares to do it seems a little on the wrong side compared to shooting them. As a kid growing up in Tomahawk I hunted every season and got my share of ki...
