From our readers Letter to the Editor:
The Crivitz Ski Cats have been performing their free ski shows on Lake Noquebay for the past 50 years. I have been following in the paper their plight to get more practice time at the County Park for the coming season.

Tales from the old-timer She Was One in a Million
by Janie Martin, daughter of the Old-Timer

Wednesday night my husband, daughter and I were less than 2 miles from our rural home when a dog darted from the right in front of our truck. I saw and instantly recognized the panic in her face. She was a good sized mixed-breed, young, black and brown, no collar. The story is familiar. As the adrenaline rush from nearly hitting her subsided! my daughter noticed a nearby red car.
