Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. DNR To Host Lake Superior Fisheries Management Meeting Oct. 15 (wisconsin.gov) — Ashland residents can weigh in on Lake Superior fisheries when the DNR hosts a public meeting Oct. 15 at 6 p.m. in the Vaughn Public Library community room. Staff will explain a proposed 22% reduction in the lake trout quota for WI-2 and answer questions about how it could affect both commercial and recreational fishing.
2. Wolves Kill Two Young Hunting Dogs in Northern Wisconsin (outdoorhub.com) — Hunters around Ashland County should be aware that wolves have killed hunting dogs in multiple northern counties this year, including Ashland. The DNR urges hound hunters to check its wolf depredation map, avoid known attack sites, and understand that wolves remain federally protected, limiting options if dogs encounter them in the field.
3. A few more donation quilts (blogspot.com) — A local quilter highlights several new donation quilts, including one made with sailboat and fish fabric purchased from a quilt shop in Ashland, tying the project directly to the community. She shares pattern choices, backing fabrics, and quilting details, offering inspiration for area crafters who enjoy seeing how locally bought materials are transformed into charitable gifts.
4. New wheelchair recliners expand access to dental care at NorthLakes Community Clinic (peshtigotimes.com) — Patients in Ashland who use wheelchairs can now get dental care more comfortably thanks to new wheelchair recliners at NorthLakes Community Clinic. The equipment lets people stay in their own chairs while being safely reclined, improving comfort and access for those with mobility challenges and supporting broader efforts to expand oral health care in northern Wisconsin.
5. Washburn couple to buy, restore historic Pigeon Lake Field Station (gazettextra.com) — A Washburn couple is working with Bayfield County to buy and restore the historic Pigeon Lake Field Station near Drummond, aiming to create cabins, camps, and public lake access. They note that visitor interest proven in Ashland, Washburn, and Bayfield supports their vision, which could bring more recreation, lodging, and economic activity to residents across the Chequamegon Bay region.
