Published on 03/25/2019 under News It's no secret to locals that the Tomahawk area is a fantastic destination to snowmobile, and now the area clubs have an award to prove it. The Association of Snowmobile Clubs of Wisconsin held their annual convention over the weekend in Green Bay. The organization made up of more than 600 Wisconsin based snowmobile clubs is celebrating their 50th year. As part of the anniversary, they awarded the Tomahawk area with the recognition as a "Snowmobile Friendly Community" in the state of Wisconsin. Among the clubs sharing the award: Northwoods Passage, Northwoods Riders, Northern Trails, Knight Owls, and Harshaw Wanderers. The local clubs had several representatives on hand in Green Bay to accept the award. Just nine communities around the state received the distinction.

Published on 03/25/2019 under News A talented musician from halfway around the world has called Tomahawk home for the past few weeks, and yesterday he shared his gift with community. Trevor Sampson paid a visit to the WJJQ studios in the lead up to his concert yesterday at Grace Lutheran Church. The native of South Africa had previously been in the area and said, "I can write here." That lead to this month's visit to a small cabin with his wife. In addition to living with snow for the first time, Sampson said he "wrote more than enough for an album." He says he hopes to be back next year to share his music inspired by the Northwoods. Yesterday, he spent some time with the Grace choir during the morning service before "being turned loose" with his own concert in the afternoon. We've uploaded our conversation with Sampson in the WJJQ audio center. During his visit, Sampson played several songs as well.

Published on 03/25/2019 under News Wisconsin wildlife officials are busy updating the management plan for the black bear and are inviting the public to weigh in starting this week. The Department of Natural Resources has revised the plan to outline objectives and strategies to guide black bear management in the state from 2019-2029. Scott Walter, DNR Large Carnivore Specialist says, "The management plan emphasizes the science-based approach to managing our state's black bear population and will also address current issues such as range expansion into southern counties, agricultural damage, and hunting opportunity. Given the ecological importance of black bears and their direct relevance to so many people, we're excited to get this plan into the hands of the public." As part of the process DNR staff will be offering 6 different informational sessions around the state. That includes two in our listening area; Wausau on April 2 and Woodruff April 3. The plan is also available online and they'll accept online comments starting Monday and through April 14.
