Mariners and Agates Kick Off Track and Field Season at UWS Meet

Spring has sprung, and Track and Field season with it. According to Agate Distance coach Dan Hebl, the Agates had one good week of outdoor training before the cold and wintry mix dominated their schedule and routes. The first meet of the season took place on Saturday, March 26 at the University of Wisconsin-Superior indoor track arena, and was attended by both the Agates and the Mariners. According to Rick Frericks, head Mariner coach, Saturday’s meet “is just getting our legs under us, having fun, staying healthy, figuring out how it all works.”

Editor’s note: Yes, the Great March for Community Newspapers still awaits the parachute jump signal from the very reluctant editor and Tony Xzcerlippy of Tony’s Underwater Limousine Service (Lake County Press--editions 2-5). And yes, in recalling an earlier skydiving incident in which the reluctant editor was stuck flying an old plane that he didn’t know how to fly, it gave him pause to think of a story in which God Takes a Vacation from humanity and its lack of humanity for each other (Lake County Press—editions 6-8).

Periodically, the DNR provides a report of some of the miscreants the Conservation Officers (CO) have encountered. The Lake County Press shares these stories as a reminder to all to be safe and to follow the rules!

That’s when the Old Man takes a vacation.” Hell Yes! God’s sidekick Apparently the good book says that man was made in God’s image.

From the Outside

Impatience and the Long Melt. I love winter. The cold, crisp days with a deep blue sky over a frozen landscape can invigorate me and make me very happy, especially if I’m zipping down some ski trail, my fingers and toes intact—or sitting by my woodstove, strong coffee in hand, staring out the window at the birds teaming around the feeder. The steady whine from the snowmobile trail a half mile to the west of my house tells me that a lot of other folks enjoy winter too.
