Relief Fund Set Up For Those Most Affected by Wildfire

Area churches and residents have set up a relief fund for victims of last week’s wildfire.  The fund has been set up at the State Bank of Drummond.  Every penny donated will go to folks affected by the fire.  A committee of local residents of the affected areas will decide where funds will be best spent in triage fashion, with those in the most urgent need being highest priority.  Checks can be given directly to any of the three branch banks.(Drummond, Cable, and Barnes)  Checks should be made out to: Northern WI Wildfire Victims Fund.  Monetary donations and donations of food and clothing can be dropped off at The Oaks Church in Drummond, Living Hope Community Church of Cable, and Trinity Lutheran Church of Cable.(More drop-off sites are expected to be added soon.)  Checks can also be mailed to: PO Box 97  Drummond, WI  54832. 

The most up to date information concerning this fund can be found on Facebook: Northern WI Wildfire Fund.  Please message through Facebook if you know of people with specific needs as a result of the wildfire.  Also, there will be a great need for handy folks to help with construction and cleanup jobs.  Please message through Facebook if you are interested. 

A hotline has also been set up to coordinate this effort: (715) 413-0748.  There is a great need in our area because of this devastating fire, but we are up to the challenge!

CAMBA Trails Opening Date Set for May 24, 2013 

Given the prolonged winter weather and long transition to spring, the CAMBA trails will not open until Friday, May 24.

It is hoped that the trails will be fully ready to ride by that time – but as always, that is dependent on the conditions. May 24 is the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and hopefully will be the kick-off to the 2013 mountain biking season. Should there be a period of warm and dry condition that date might be advanced. Check www.cambatrails.org for the latest conditions report.

Patience and good judgment is requested of all mountain bikers, local, second homeowners, and visitors,  during this run-up to the opening.  One premature trip out on the trails during soft conditions can result in ruts that may be difficult to remove and that can channel run-off should there be significant rainfall, which will cause erosion. 

Contact Ron Bergin camba@cheqnet.net, 715/798-3599 for further information.
