State Champ teams challenged to donate

Hockey supporters in the Eagle River area have drummed up numerous ways to raise money for the Save the Dome campaign, ranging from the sale of his- toric photos to fundraising events at local supper clubs. The Eagle River Recreation Association (ERRA) is trying to raise $774,000 to make major renovations at the Eagle River Sports Arena, known as the Dome. The project includes replacing the failing in-floor cooling system in the facility, erecting new boards and glass around the rink, as well as several other renovations at the historic facility. The latest fundraising idea comes from Don Bradford of the 1963-’64 State Championship Eagle River High School hockey team. Bradford, captain of the 1964 State Champions, wants to challenge the other four State Championship teams from Eagle River/Northland Pines to see which team can raise the most money for the Save the Dome campaign this month. The other Eagle River High School State Champi- onship hockey team was in 1959’-60, and the three Northland Pines High School State hockey titles came in 1983-’84, 1985-’86 and 1988-’89.

Slices of Life By Jill Pertler

Fish love We lost a fish. It’s happened before. We are fish people and fish sometimes die. It’s the whole circle of life thing. Hu- mans typically live longer than pets; unless your pet is a tortoise. Even though we’ve been through this before with other goldfish and an occasional bullhead or two, no two fish are the same and each time it’s difficult. No matter how little you believe goldfish matter in the big scheme of things; at our house they do. And either way, seeing one clearly sick and probably dying is not pleas- ant for anyone. Often, the death comes fairly quickly. A fish loses the ability to swim or balance and floats near the top of the water. This wasn’t the case with Spot, who got his/her name because of an obvious physical character- istic. He lingered at the bottom of the tank, resting, semi- floating atop a large flat rock. A day later, he started leaning to the left, as though it was difficult to stay up- right. The next day, he was lying on his side, still at the bottom of the tank. I Googled remedies as fast as my fingers could type and tried various methods, but the consensus was that our Spot was soon to lose his spot in our tank. He’s been living with us for the last four years. The other goldfish in our tank are a year older. They all came from local fairs. They’re the kind you win by throwing a Ping-Pong™ ball into a tiny fish bowl; hum- ble beginnings. But over the years, Spot and his tank- mates have grown on us. They gravitate to the side of the tank each morning when they see me approach be- cause they know it’s time for breakfast. They’ve got big beautiful eyes, and even bigger beautiful tails. We had differing opinions on how to approach Spot’s situation. Some thought we should speed up the pro- cess; they saw it as shortening Spot’s suffering. Others in the house couldn’t imagine killing him because in essence, that is what it would be. After considerable discussion, we decided premature To SLICES, Pg. 2B 2B WEDNESDAY, OCT. 16, 2019 VILAS COUNTY NEWS-REVIEW/THE THREE LAKES NEWS LIFESTYLE Ball in the House tickets still available for show
