The momentum is building and more and more folks are putting an incredible effort into this partnership. But for us to win this thing we're all going to need to pitch in. Here's what you can do:
1) If you're in the area come to one of our meetings every Thursday at 6:30 pm at the Three Lakes Town Hall. We always have a good ol' time!
2) If you haven't already done so, download and sign the petition! Then send it along to us at 7124 Military Road Three Lakes, WI 54562. You may also fax the petition to the Town Board at (715)546-3384, but if you do so please send us the originals so we have them on file. We've already got over 500 signatures and they keep on coming!!
3) Give 'em a friendly phone call! The folks at the Forest Service, Engineering Firm and Town Board need to hear our concerns directly. Remember, they're supposed to represent us. Let them know that you want to see a new plan to improve drainage without cutting thousands of trees by raising the roadbed instead of creating ditches. Here are their phone numbers:
- Jim Bollman (Project Engineer, MSA Professional Services) - 715-362-3244
- Harv Skjerven (USFS, Eagle River District) - 715-479-2827
- Jeff Herrett (USFS, Eagle River District) - 715-479-2827 ext.1

- Cynthia Starke (Town Board) - 715-546-2042
- Tony Hallman (Town Clerk) - 715-546-3316 northwoodstony@hotmail.com
5) Write a letter to the editor. They say that one letter to the editor represents the thinking of 1,000 people. Plus we'll post it up on this blog! Here are the contacts:

I am somewhat surprised that you would want to take a scenic area and modernize it, when the reason most people travel to the North Woods is be able to drive down just such roads. If you modernize this road not only do you destroy an irreplaceable route, but you take away my need to travel to your part of Wisconsin. We'll have to check out other areas where the people in charge value our tourist dollars enough to maintain the very reason we come to this area in the first place!
