ANTIGO - In a sea of American flags on the east side of Antigo's Elmwood Cemetery, Dick Hurlbert tries to take good care of his younger brother.
"Quite often, because I've got to water the flowers," Hurlbert said.
Daniel Hurlbert's grave is marked with a flag and a plaque for his service in the U.S. Army. The Hurlbert family placed the marker for Daniel when he died in 1999. But last year, nature started to take control.

One Antigo girl has made it her mission to show the world her horsemanship skills one gallop at a time.

"We decided to give him a fitting name," said Bailey.
Stretch is a very large quarter horse but that doesn't worry Bailey.
She has had some practice on being a handy horsemanship competitor.

LANGLADE COUNTY - When you think of fishing in the Northwoods you probably think of muskies and walleye, but Langlade County boasts nearly 400 miles of trout streams. Making sure those trout streams stay healthy takes a lot of work.
"I don't have to wear a collared shirt and tie to this job," said avid trout fisherman Dallas Moe.
Normally Moe does wear a tie to work a Wausau West High School math teacher. But each summer, he helps the DNR study those trout streams.
"They had an ad in the paper for a trout unlimited brushing crew, I was looking for a summer job and said 'sign me up'," said Moe.

WAUSAU - Northern Wisconsin Sen. Tom Tiffany (R-Hazelhurst) expressed disappointment Friday about the Joint Finance Committee's lack of involvement in talks on the state budget, which is already almost one month late.
"Discussions have moved simply to the leadership level for about the last month. I do not like that," Tiffany said. "It should be going through the committee."

ANTIGO - Dogs, cats and sometimes a gerbil seem to be the norm for a family pet. But there's a man in Antigo that has a different kind of animal that he cares for.
His name is Jim Draeger and he loves deer.
"I had a shooting preserve at one time, but I got rid of it because I couldn't stand shooting the deer," said Draeger.
He's owned the BP gas station on Hwy 45 just north of Antigo for about 25 years. He wanted to mix his love of deer with his gas station.
