Submitted: 03/11/2010
RHINELANDER - The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest's annual spring closure that prohibits ATV (including motor bikes), horse, and mountain bike use on Forest trails will be in effect between March 15 through April 30, 2010.
During this same time period, All Terrain Vehicles are prohibited from using all Forest Service jurisdiction roads.
Thursday in Rhinelander the Northern Tier celebrated with an open house.
Two esteemed guests made a special appearance: 95-year-old World War II Veteran George Weils and 90-year-old Home Service Volunteer Beulah Herrick.
Beulah started working for the Red Cross during wartime in 1942, she says, "If a sailor or an Army man wanted to come home because of a new baby coming, or if someone died, they would go through us and we would see to it that they got home."
RHINELANDER - Shamrocks are synonymous with St. Patrick's Day.
And while they may not be lucky like a four-leaf clover, these three-leafed clovers are helping people with Muscular Dystrophy.
"It's so I can go around things, if there's narrow aisles."
Genie McKenzie relies on her walker to help her get around.
She tells Newswatch 12, "Since my legs and arms are so very weak, it's a little more difficult, it's slower moving around because I use my walker everywhere."
