RHINELANDER - You can help choose the best businesses in Rhinelander. The Chamber of Commerce wants your nominations for Business of the Year.
Every January the chamber holds its annual dinner. For the second year the Chamber is honoring outstanding local businesses.
"We award four different awards. We have three businesses of the year awards and one community volunteer award. There are three different categories for the businesses. It's either retail, tourism or professional business. Those are the different categories we have for the chamber members," says Executive Director Lara Reed.
Anyone in the community can make a nomination. The volunteer award does not have to go to a chamber member, they just have to be someone making a positive impact in the community.
The chamber is accepting nominations through Friday.
MINOCQUA - “This disease is called the great imitator for a good reason,” says Jeff Waite.
Lyme disease can be good at hiding.
“Lyme disease is a bacterial type infection spread by a spiral keet, which is also considered a parasite. And it can be carried in the spit glands and intestinal track of ticks in this area. Particularly the deer tick," said Dr. Kurt Landauer.
EAGLE RIVER - The initiative will help to rebound what's thought of as a suffering walleye population by adding hundreds of thousands of the fish to Wisconsin lakes.
The project could improve fishing for the state's most popular game fish and tourism in the state. George Langely, a local fishing guide at Eagle Sports bait shop in Eagle River, says walleye fishing isn't what it used to be.
"The walleye population has pretty much suffered in the last twenty years and it's really nice to see Madison recognizing that and taking some steps to do something about it. It will take a while but it's a great start."
