The Great Duck War, by Penny and Roger Hage

It was a sunny, day in July and my daughter, grandchildren and myself were swimming by our place.

We noticed a family of ducks coming our way and the children ran to get some bread to feed them.   This family of ducks consisted of a Mom and 10 teenagers.  Everything was going well until another family of ducks approached us.  This second family was a Mother and 5 downy babies.    continued......

Afraid to get stranded on a rustic road on a winter's night? Russ Streit lives to tell the tale!

It was New Years Eve Day, 1968, and not a typical day in Russ and Anita Streit's lives. In Wisconsin it can get COLD, and on that day it was 30 below with a wicked wind chill.   continued........

Why our waters are pristine:

Because our volunteers are plentiful and focused.    At left, Audrey Divilbiss places aquatic invasive species cards on windshields at the Larson Road boat ramp on Teal Lake. Shown at right is Shari Peterson performing aquatic invasive species testing in her assigned quadrant, the Thoroughfare between Lost Land and Teal Lakes.   Shari is one of 16 volunteers conducting this testing for us.      So far, none of our volunteers have found any invasive species.
