Back to Table of Contents - 9 - 10 H W C C A M P U S Hayward Wesleyan Church sits on the northwest residential side of town on 13 prime acres within the city limits of Hayward, on the corner of Hwy. 77 and Nyman Ave. The spacious campus, established in 1996, includes the church building, two playgrounds, a baseball field and a 3-stall garage. There is plenty of space for future expansion and ministry opportunities. The current church building originally included a worship center, offices, a gymnasium that also serves as a fellowship hall and five classrooms. In 2001 a classroom addition was added. In 2010 more classrooms and a large multi-purpose room were added, and the nursery was relocated and expanded. The former nursery was renovated into a beautiful Fireside Room. Currently our building is about 27,000 square feet. Because our building is now 20 years old, we face the challenge of some future remodeling projects. Floor Plan of Church Building Our financial picture right now is stable, and we currently carry no debt.

The church also owns a beautiful baby grand piano. A Worship Planning Team was recently formed to help brainstorm and think creatively and critically about the worship music and different elements to be used in worship services such as stage theme, testimonies and video clips.

  • Natural, Cultural & Agricultural Resources January 21,, 2010
    Sawyer County Comprehensive Plan – Natural, Cultural & Agricultural Resources January 21, 2010 Natural, Cultural & Agricultural Resources Wisconsin State Statute 66.1001(2)(e) Agricultural, Natural & Cultural Resources A compilation of objectives, policies, goals, maps and programs for the conservation, and promotion of the effective management, of natural resources such as groundwater, forests, productive agricultural areas, environmentally sensitive areas, threatened and endangered species, stream corridors, surface water, floodplains, wetlands, wildlife habitat, metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources consistent with zoning limitations under s.295.20(2), parks, open spaces, historical and cultural resources, community design, recreational resources and other natural resources. INTRODUCTION The protection of natural resources is necessary for the welfare of both people and the environment. By allowing natural processes, such as the hydrologic system, to function without impediment, property, water supply and the environment are protected. The protection of natural resources also preserves important ecological communities. Certain natural resources have more than merely aesthetic and leisure‐time activity values. They are essential to long‐term human survival and the preservation of life, health and general welfare. As such, the protection and management of these resources clearly are in the public interest. Thus, the analysis of those natural resources found within the planning area is done for the purpose of directing development away from those areas not intrinsically suitable for a particular use, or to at least guide development in a direction that is least disruptive. TOPOGRAPHY An undulating plain dissected by many lakes, rivers and streams characterizes the topography of Sawyer County. The northeastern corner of the County is quite hilly and the southwestern corner contains many high quartzite ridges.

  • Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams
    Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams By Richard Kark May 2015 Introduction A Badger Stream Love Affair My fascination with rivers started near my hometown of Osage, Iowa on the Cedar River. High school buddies and I fished the river and canoe-camped along its lovely limestone bluffs. In 1969 I graduated from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and soon paddled my first Wisconsin stream. With my college sweetheart I spent three days and two nights canoe-camping from Taylors Falls to Stillwater on the St. Croix River. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond blared from our transistor radio as we floated this lovely stream which was designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1968. Little did I know I would eventually explore more than 300 other Wisconsin streams. In the late 1970s I was preoccupied by my medical studies in Milwaukee but did find the time to explore some rivers. I recall canoeing the Oconto, Chippewa, Kickapoo, “Illinois Fox,” and West Twin Rivers during those years. Several of us traveled to the Peshtigo River and rafted “Roaring Rapids” with a commercial company. At the time I could not imagine riding this torrent in a canoe. We also rafted Piers Gorge on the Menomonee River. Our guide failed to avoid Volkswagen Rock over Mishicot Falls. We flipped and I experienced the second worst “swim” of my life. Was I deterred from whitewater? Just the opposite, it seems. By the late 1970s I was a practicing physician, but I found time for Wisconsin rivers. In 1979 I signed up for the tandem whitewater clinic run by the River Touring Section of the Sierra Club’s John Muir Chapter.
