WAUSAU - Wausau Paper will keep investing in its tissue mills. Monday the company released its 2012 financial report to investors.
It says it narrowed its losses in the last quarter of last year, after it shut down its Brokaw mill. That move put 450 people out of work.
But the company says it lost just 2 and a half million dollars in the last three months of 2012, compared to almost 29 million in the same three months of 2011.
Wausau Paper said last month it intends to sell the last three mills it owns that don't make tissue.
They are the Rhinelander and Mosinee mills, and another in Brainerd, Minnesota.
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.
STATEWIDE - Camping in the Northwoods just got a little more high-tech, thanks to a new website and iPhone app. You can download the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest app on your iPhone.
The app lets you see what campsites are available, and reserve your spot online. It also gives information about trails and other activities in the area.
In the “old days” travelers could always call ahead about site availability, but by the time out of town visitors arrive, they might be full.
