Nicolet Area Technical Col-lege reported an increase of 5%this fall compared to the fall of2010 in its university transferliberal arts program, wherestudents complete the first twoyears of a bachelors degree atNicolet.

More students are discover-ing that they can start at Nico-let and then transfer theirNicolet credits to just aboutany four-year college or univer-sity in the state, said NicoletCollege President ElizabethBurmaster.

This includes the UW-Madison. Nicolet has a uniquepartnership with the statesflagship university that guar-antees admission to studentsin good standing who graduatefrom Nicolets university trans-fer liberal arts program, shestated.

Nicolet currently has 51credit transfer agreementswith four-year colleges anduniversities that cover hun-dreds of different majors.Theseagreements are with all 13 ofthe four-year UW campuses aswell as with numerous privatecolleges and universities.

Nicolet representatives saidtwo of these agreements arewith UW-Madison. Both theConnections Program and theGuaranteed Transfer Contractcreate smooth pathways forNorth Woods students to studyat a world-class universityfamous for its high admissionsstandards.

Under the Connections Pro-gram, incoming freshmen who

are accepted into UW-Madisonenroll at both Nicolet and UW-Madison and enjoy all of thebenefits each institution has tooffer.

This includes receiving aUW-Madison identificationcard that grants access to UW-Madison libraries, recreationalfacilities, cultural and socialevents on the UW-Madisoncampus, and the ability to pur-chase tickets to UW-Madisonathletic events at studentrates.

Under the GuaranteedTransfer Contract, Nicolettransfer students can move onto UW-Madison if they declaretheir intent to do so before theyearn 30 credits at Nicolet.

Under both programs, stu-dents must complete at least54 credits at Nicolet and main-tain at least a B average before

they transition to UW-Madisonwhere they are granted fulljunior status.

Quality education andaffordable tuition make thetransfer program very attrac-tive, especially in these chal-lenging economic times, Pres-ident Burmaster explained.

When students do transfer,their Nicolet credits count justthe same toward a bachelorsdegree as those they wouldhave earned starting at thefour-year college, she added.

Tuition in Nicolets univer-sity transfer program is $150per credit approximatelyhalf of what students pay atfour-year campuses in the UWsystem.

It is happening all over the country. The young, theold, the students, professionals, rich and poor are on thestreets voicing their opinions by their peaceful presence.It is their right to do so. Occupy Wall Street is com-prised of those who are frustrated with the political pro-cess that places the interests of corporations ahead of

citizens. It started on Wall Street and within a veryshort time people all over our country were taking tothe streets to peacefully express their opinions and frus-tration.

According to their website (occupywallst.org), this is aleaderless resistance movement with people of manyethnic backgrounds, genders and political persuasions.The one thing we all have in common is that we are the99% who will no longer tolerate the greed and corrup-tion of the 1%. We encourage the use of nonviolence tomaximize the safety of all participants.Their hope is tocreate real change from the bottom up.

As you read this column today,you certainly have anopinion about the movement. You might disagree with

Members of the North-land Pines Community Gar-den gathered to close thegrowing season withPutting the Garden to RestFest last Saturday.

Gardeners workedthroughout the day, clean-ing up garden plots, sharingdishes for lunch and makingplans for next season.

I think our first year wasa success, said CommunityGarden President Kay Her-

shberger. We were able todonate a lot of fresh produceto the Vilas County FoodPantry from the teachingportion of the gardens.

The garden filled all 16plots this summer and hada waiting list of partici-pants, according to Hersh-berger.

Depending on the num-ber of current plot holdersand those interested, we

may expand to the originalapproval size of 100 feet by100 feet, she said.This willbe contingent on fundingand plot commitments.

In addition to cleaning upthis seasons plots, gardenmembers worked to preparethe hoop house for anupcoming winter class ongardening at NorthlandPines.

the whole thing.You might beone of the 1% or one of the99%. You might agree andmaybe you have participatedin some way. There are asmany opinions as there arereaders of these words.Hope-fully what we all agree with isthe right that we, the people,

have to express our opinion:freedom of speech.

Change typically comeswith great duress. Moving to anew state or even a newneighborhood is challenging.Marriage makes new demandsas eager as the bride andgroom are to have their wed-ding day arrive. Nothing staysthe same.We all know thatand yet we resist change. Wedo not like the unknown evenif it is an improvement. Thosewho are out on the streets ofour country are attempting tobring about massive changethat, in their eyes,willimprove our country in manyways.

We here in Wisconsin were

in the streets last winter andspring attempting to bringchange to our state.As weapproach a recall vote for gov-ernor of Wisconsin, people willbe going door-to-door, sitting inmalls and other places gather-ing signatures for this recall.All of this in an attempt tocreate a change that in theminds of the participants isalso an improvement.Free-dom of speech again.

You may agree or disagreewith all of what these folksare doing.You may wish theywould all go home and just

allow things to continue asthey will. Or you may beapplauding the efforts of thosewilling to speak out.

Consider what would havehappened if, in the course ofour history, the right toprotest, to speak up, to makechanges was disallowed. Slav-

ery would probably still be away of life. We might beunder the control of England.Women might not have a rightto vote or be seen as equal tomen.

This is what we are, a coun-try with freedom of speech atits very foundation. No onecan disagree with that.

Colder temperaturesand falling snow will soonbe upon the North Woodsand, though he spendsmonths in preparationbefore snowfall, George

Brunette looks forward tosnowmobile season.A volunteer for Three

Lakes Trails Inc.,Brunette prepares snow-mobile trails, workingcooperatively with theU.S. Forest Service andthe state of WisconsinDepartment of NaturalResources.

Using chain saws, trac-tors equipped with scoopsand brush hogs, plus all-terrain vehicles withwinches, he and other vol-unteers clear trees, brushand rocks from trails.

He posts signs inpreparation for the snow-mobile season and, when

the snow arrives, hebegins grooming.Brunette is responsiblefor maintaining andpreparing approximately20 miles of trails fromHiles to Alvin and northto Highway 70.

Its an ongoing pro-cess. We put in about1,500 hours per year get-ting trails ready. We havea map at the groomershed on which we writesections weve brushedand what parts arent fin-ished, Brunetteexplained.

Before they are opened,Brunette rides the trailswith a county coordinator

who certifies that trailsare ready.

Snow groomers are 10feet wide. Brunette triesto make trails wider sothe machine can go oneway, then come back theother.

Weve come a long wayfrom when we used bedsprings and fencing. Thegroomers spend about 700hours taking care of 140miles every two to three

days and nights.We liketo have everything readyby Thursday for the week-end warriors, he said.

Trails may extendacross lakes and throughswamps, but are notgroomed.

Brunette stated, Inex-perienced drivers dontrealize how wet thosemarshes are normally.Weve had a drought forthe past 10 years, butnow weve been gettingmore rain so theres moremoisture.

For every inch of rainwe get, swamps give upabout 4 inches to thelakes. Grass serves as an

insulator, so those wet-lands dont freeze well,he added.

When we pack downthe grass with snowmo-biles after the first snowwhen its cold, we repeat-edly travel fast and planeover the top so themachines dont sink. Wecompact it 10 to 15 feetwide, then move on. Wevebeen doing that for 40years, he explained.

Brunette worked withheavy equipment beforeretirement, so he fellright into using machin-ery to clear and groomtrails.

Ive fixed our machin-

ery in order to return it tothe shop and have alsohelped lots of peoplewhose snowmobiles havebroken down. You have tobe able to solve prob-lems, concludedBrunette.

Happy trails

opportunity to tell our storyto lots of people.

According to Chart, themost frequently heard com-ment among viewers of thecanoe is,Its too pretty to putin the water.

I assure everyone thatthe canoe is waterworthyand that some past winnersare using the canoe; however,there are others displaying itas a work of art, said Chart.
