Tomahawk Leader

** 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...

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...

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...

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...

I also wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas and a great and Happy New Year !!!

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.

Great photos in the Photo Album. Best yet compared to previous years !!!

Once you hear Roll Out The Barrel you NEVER forget it. I heard a lot of that growing up in my folks tavern in Tomahawk in the 50s !!!

For Old Scout...read yesterday that Peggy Lennon just turned 72... !!!

I was afraid this would happen...but River Rat started it by mentioning LW !!! Maybe the original ATV topic has run its course with arguments and opinions from all sides...I don't know. I do know that I was in love with Janet Lennon...the youngest of LW's Lennon Sisters and nobody can take that away...

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...

Found this from a quick Google.... LEADING DEER HUNTING STATES (Licensed Resident Deer Hunters) Pennsylvania 1,299,372 Michigan 1,005,000 Wisconsin 894,543 New York 812,446 Texas 645,000 Cripes...almost 2 million in just WI and MI !!!! But not a human harmed that I can tell by those 2 or 3 weeks of ...

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...

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...

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.

I posted a simple Merry Christmas message yesterday. In almost 24 hours there were 65 views and one response/reply. Just wondering what's happening to the Message Board where something non-controversial as a simple Merry Christmas post could only squeeze out one response out of 65 views (my guess is...

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all my fellow Tomahawkians. Let's hope for a great future in 2013 and beyond. Keep safe, happy and warm !!! World peace would be nice too !!!

KEN you must be doing something right because there is a report posted today... Buck's report as of Dec. 9, 2012 Julio's report as of Oct. 15, 2012 did state.... This will be my last report of the year ...so at least he gave some warning... Also, the Message Board has Fishing With Jed which is updat...

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...

I'm still around...hanging out in Nor Cal Bay Ara waiting for the rains to begin. The temp is cold today, cloudy and 67dF, so I got to bring out the long sleeve shirts. Everyone is waiting for the last minute to do their Thanksgiving Shopping...which is par for the course. We got our Turkey from Cos...

Like KEN's too !!! Especially the 1st, 5th and 7th lines !!!

Deb, I just 'discovered' Flynn. He has a character, Mitch Rapp, who does hit jobs for the CIA. Fun, flowing reading...worth a try !!! Lots of interesting intrigue, double crossing, lying, back stabbing, etc with MI6 and other foreign government spy agencies !!!

Deb, I am not Old Scout but I pretend to be when I'm home alone with only my Tomahawk....and yup, we need a 'like' button :D :D 1) Probably just fine 2) Cold and snow 3) Probably not 4) Anything by John Grisham or Vince Flynn 5) Not all the way through 6) Depends on what age you like your guys I mis...

Like !!!

Thanks Kerry...it looks like it's fixed now !!!

Man, I didn't know how important those Smiley faces were to me(us) !!!
