    Northernaire offers allthe luxuries of the NorthWoods at an unbelievableprice. It was purchasedby Mitch Viegut and hispartners from M&I Bankafter a foreclosure.

    Viegut said the pur-chase price is allowing

    them to heavily discountthe deluxe condominiumunits, which were con-structed with maplehardwood floors, solidhard wood doors andtrim, granite countertops,gas fireplaces and out-door patios.

    We are offering the

    standard units that wereonce priced at $400,000for $179,000, and largerunits that were $525,000are now selling for$199,000, said Viegut.And this for fully fur-nished units that includeeverything, includingstainless-steel appli-ances, furniture, bedroomsets and all the extras.

    Some of the units in-clude tubs with ceramicsurrounds, jetted tubs,lofts, arched doorwaysand various interiorpackages.

    Additionally, Viegutsaid the maintenancefees to the condominiumassociation are going tobe locked for two years at$215 a month.

    square feet of space.There also are 42 lotsavailable for develop-ment on the property andeverything, includingsome lakefront villas, hasbeen heavily discounted,said Viegut.

    The busy boating andfishing season has ar-rived, and the state De-partment of Natural Re-sources (DNR) is asking

    boaters to help stop thespread of invasiveaquatic species likeEurasian water milfoil,zebra mussels and curly-leaf pondweed.

    These and other inva-sives harm lakes, foulboat props and hurt na-tive species. Fortunate-ly, most boaters and an-glers are taking the nec-

    essary steps to stop thespread of aquatic inva-sives to Wisconsins

    northern lakes, most ofwhich remain in pristinecondition.

    We can't afford to letour guard down, DNR

    Chief Warden RandyStark said. Its as im-portant as ever to cleanyour boats and equip-ment. Lead by exampleand educate others, in-cluding the next genera-tion of boaters and an-glers, on their responsi-bilities as a boater.

    Under Wisconsin law,boaters are required to

    take the following stepsto prevent the spread ofinvasives:

    Inspect your boat,trailer and equipment.

    Remove any at-tached aquatic plants oranimals (before launch-

    ing, after loading and be-fore transporting on apublic highway).

    Drain all waterfrom boats, motors andall equipment.

    Never move live fishaway from a water body.

    Dispose of unwant-ed bait in the trash.

    Buy minnows froma Wisconsin bait dealer.

    Use leftover minnowsonly under certain con-ditions.

    Anglers may take left-over minnows awayfrom any state waterand use them again onthat same water. An-

    glers may use leftoverminnows on other wa-ters only if no lake orriver water, or other fish,were added to their con-tainer.

    These laws are inplace to protect Wiscon-sins waterways, Starksaid. Conservation war-dens, water guards, po-

    lice departments, sheriffdepartments and theWisconsin State Patrolare actively enforcingthese rules, and finesstart at over $200 for

    transporting aquatic veg-etation on the highway.The good news is theoverwhelming majorityof our lakes are still free

    of invasives. Lets keepthem that way.

    Concerned individu-als can report violationsby calling 1-800 TIPWDNR.

    Boaters, anglers take lead on protecting lakes

    The historic Lumber- jack Steam Train, theonly operating prairiesteam engine in Wiscon-sin, is once again makingdaily runs to the Wiscon-sin Forestry MuseumComplex in Laona.

    This is the 42nd yearthat the 4-spot steam lo-

    comotive is hauling pas-sengers to the WisconsinForestry Museum Com-plex.

    From the late 1800sSoo Line Depot in Laona,

    visitors climb aboard the1916 4-spot steam loco-motive and travel to theWisconsin Forestry Mu-seum. This train has runon the same tracks for

    more than 80 years.However, this year thetracks for the train havebeen completely rebuilt.The original track wasbuilt around the early1900s and used railsweighing approximately60 pounds each. The newrails weigh in at 90pounds each and raise theroad bed up 15 inches.

    Also new this year isthe freshly repaintedcoaches and cabooses.The fresh coat of paintleft them gleaming, shinyand ready for riders.

    The history behindthis train itself datesback to the year 1916.

    It was then that the 4-

    spot steam locomotive wasbuilt by Vulcan IronWorks in Wilkes Barre,Pa. It was purchased Sept.22, 1926,and was broughtto Laona for use in thelogging industry. Thesteam engine pulls twoall-steel passenger coachcars and three cabooses.

    Passengers have theopportunity to sit in theauthentic coaches and arare cupola caboose asthe vintage steam enginetakes them to an actualsite of a North Woods log-ging camp. The trainbacks up to the camp,taking guests back intime to the early 1900s.

    Wisconsin Forestry

    Museums history datesback to the late 1890s,when it was establishedas a logging camp. In1969, it opened as a mu-seum. Wisconsin For-estry Museum was addedto the National Registerof Historic Places in1996, and also has wonnumerous awards.

    After the train dropsguests off, they can visitthe logging museum, aswell as many other at-tractions.

    Children and adultscan enjoy the animalbarn and corral, whichfeature a variety of babyanimals to feed and pet,including rabbits, guinea

    hens, turkeys, chickens,goats, llamas, kittens andeven a turtle town. Threeminiature horses anddonkeys as well as pigmygoats, and potbelly pigshave been also beenadded this year. All theanimals can be ap-proached and petted.

    Administration/UW System conducted anonymous indepen-dent surveys of pizza customers of the 11 major pizza res-taurants in the Eagle River area. The survey considered qual-ity of food, cleanliness, service and atmosphere. AlexandersFamily Pizza was rated #1!

    Out of 11 restaurants mentioned Alexanders wasranked number 1, an independent was second, and a nation-al chain was third, both far behind in customer choice.

    Alexanders was found to offer a quality product at areasonable price. According to the survey, quality has provento be of more importance to the customer. Alexanders hasexcellent pizza. It uses the highest quality ingredients.
