Tomahawk Leader

It was another embarrassing July 4th parade for Tomahawk. Somewhere on the east side of town the band director (and I use the term loosely) found some kids that happen to have musical instruments and asked them to walk in the parade and pretend that they were a band. They did not look like a band an...

The note under the last message says there are nine users on this message. Makes you wonder why they look at it and no-one replies.

And some of us never got into Facebook so this is one place I check occasionally or post a message in an attempt to get some discussion started. Most of the time it ends up as a wasted effort

I am thinking that there was a typo in the information I found on the bear, and perhaps it was supposed to be 1988. Perhaps Larry can give us the correct information. I certainly want to make sure the information is correct.

Thanks for giving me the update on the critter.

Hams_Bear.jpg The Lake Ice fishing bear was born as a commercial by the Hamm’s Brewery Company in the 1950's. Originally, the fishing bear was utilized as an indoor plastic floor display by businesses promoting the sale of Hamm’s beer throughout the company's "Land of Sky Blue Waters" sal...

Looks like the work on the dam is complete. They are re landscaping the parking area and have resurfaced the temporary road they put in on the south side. Cleaned up the gravel and put in top soil and seeded it. They have put in top soil and seeded the back face of the dam and are putting gravel dow...

At the May 15th meeting of Post 93 donations were made to three organizations. Commander Lowell Liberty and Adjutant Gerry Johnson presented $500.00 checks to Jim LaPointe of the Tomahawk Emergency Food Pantry, Jim Campbell of the Never Forgotten Honor Flight and Heide Merwin of the Open Arms Soup K...

You haven't had fun until you catch Small Mouth Bass on a Fly rod with a large popper. Now that is exiting.

I have to agree that it was a great speech, but I don't think it was appropriate in this time and place. It reminded me more of a political speech that you would hear someone running for office giving on TV. Apparently she doesn't know what the word "compromise" means. I see a bit of stubb...

Ice fishing on opening weekend ?

There being no comment or discussion I guess it is time to add something else to think about. Don't get me wrong, I care as much about the kids as anyone, but I think people are going about it in an emotional way rather than logical manner. After watching all the marches and protests I got to thinki...

your thinking is So Flawed that I know there would be nothing accomplished. Prove it with some logic! You are probably right, I would love to discuss this with you but apparently your opinion is set and you are not open to any other ideas or opinions. :roll: You see only one side and obviously have...

I listen to the discussion on gun control and keep wondering. If all these changes were put into place they would control the access of the law abiding gun owners but how are they going to get the criminal element to go through back ground checks etc. They will still get their guns by stealing them ...

I am hearing a lot of people may continue to put out corn and such at least through the rest of the year at least until the snow is off. They feel that the deer are used to coming in for food and it would be hard on them to just cut it off. Also hear that a lot of hunters, especially older ones that...

So, what do you think about the DNR putting the deer feeding and baiting ban on for the county?

Now we just have to get in the habit of stopping for the stop signs on the bridge below the dam. I asked the county the reason for them and this is the reply they sent. The stop signs are for logging trucks. They are coming at 90,000 to 120,000 pounds and bouncing on the weak bridge deck. The cars h...

I didn't say that all would be a problem, but it increases the chance and protection of the boys is the prime consideration ! ! ! !

Take that as you may, but it has happened and can happen again and that is my concern.

Everybody has the right to their opinion, right , wrong or indifferent.

Yes, but a huge difference between being gay and being a pedophile. The 2 are not related in any way.

I don't know what world you live in but I might like to try some of the stuff that puts you there. It must be really good.

if you drive to the intersection and do it correctly.

You may want to reconsider that part. The intersections are all posted as "No U Turns". The only place you can do that is at the end of WIS Ave. by the RR station.

I have to admit, coming down Wisconsin ave. from the east, going to the Post Office, I`m on the north side of the street, I see a spot right in front of the Post Office, I`d hang a left , and pull into it. :shock: You may not want to do that in the future. :o Providing that the Police Chief allows ...

If they`re not using the equipment, why don`t you and me take it down the road and clean up The Fulsher School area! :wink: Where would we find all the big dumpsters to haul every thing away? The roof has fallen in and I would be a bit nervous to go inside. The best thing anyone could do would be t...

They are working on it now. Mon - Thurs, long days but 3 day weekend. Not sure what all they are doing but a lot of steel has been driven in behind the berm. they also built a road to reach the south side for their equipment.

Speaking from experience, I have had two close experiences where I was within inches of being hit by a driver making one of the mid-block turns. Once in front of the Furniture store and once by the Post Office. It was just luck that I saw the car coming into the parking place next to me and we were ...
