Dr. Hay, a fan of the Northwoods and a frequent visitor to Land O’ Lakes, is speaking as part of the Land O’ Lakes Area Artisans, Inc. (LOLA) 100 Days of Art project this summer, which extends through October. The title of Dr. Hay’s presentation is Shakespeare for Any Town USA: He’s Alive and He’s Talking About Us, and is intended to show the relevance of Shakespeare’s tales to life today. “The life situations about which Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago are the ones we still encounter today,” said Dr. Hay. “The lan- guage might be different but the stories are the same.” Of all the work he does, Dr. Hay says he most enjoys bringing an un- derstanding of the works of Shakespeare to the common man. In his 48-year career, Dr. Hay has taught at Bowling Green State University, Central Michigan University, Ohio University, A welcome distration from the usual hustle and bustle of Highway 45, this the University of New Mexico, and the University of San Diego, where wagon train made use of the thoroughfare for a short distance to return to he has been a member of the staff for the past 25 years.

October 3, 2013 Page 5 Beautiful New Bike Trail If you haven't explored the new Agonikak Trail, now would be the perfect time. The rolling hills through the Ottawa National For- est in the area between Land O' Lakes and Watersmeet offer a beau- tiful setting to enjoy a nice bike ride. Spend some time with family and friends seeing the deep forest in a way that is accessible to all ages and skill levels. The terrain varies so much that everyone will be in on the fun. See the Wilderness Lakes Trails website for a trail map: http://www.wildernesslakestrails.org/ The trail is just being completed so interested parties may want to seek local knowledge for its status and the best way to enjoy it for your skill level. As of last month, the section of trail leaving the

wayside north of Land O' Lakes had quite a ways to go but could be a lot of fun for the adventurous rider. Check in with the Ottawa Visitor Center for info, Land O' Lakes Recreation Co. for their bike rent- als, or Sylvania Outfitters, who will soon be offering Quadracycles for those who'd like to take a more leisurely ride. No matter which path you take, be sure to take advantage of the complimentary bike stations set up to prep your bike as well as to maintain a healthy forest by helping keep down the spread of invasive species. There are 2 stations, one at the wayside on Hwy 45 just north of the WI/MI border, and one at the Ottawa Visitor Center parking lot. The stations were designed by Logan Jacisin of Troop 323, as part of his Eagle Scout project. Logan also organized his troop for 2 work days, one last fall to do most of the construc- tion, and one this summer to install the stations. These stations were funded by Logan and the scout troop, the Ottawa NF, and some private donations such as equipment donated by Hobby vania outfitt Wheel bike shop in Ironwood. yl since 1972 ers s inc.
