Lac du Flambeau Gets a Clue

(Tuesday, 08 December 2009) by Michele Cozzens

You don’t see THIS everyday in your morning crossword puzzle:

3. _____ du Flambeau, Wisc.

In all my years of doing puzzles, I’ve seen _____ du Lac, Wisc. about a hundred times and it never got me excited. Today, however, seeing a clue for our little remote corner of the Northwoods—home to the Lake Superior Band of Ojibwe Indians and Sandy Point Resort and Disc Golf Ranch—in the USAToday puzzle, gave me a bigger rush than a double dose of cappuccino.

Sandy Point Resort is outside the town limits of Lac duFlambeau, but it does carry a “Flambeau” mailing address. The town itself is located in Vilas County and is comprised of approx. 128 square miles, 260 lakes, 65 miles of lakes, streams and rivers and 24,000 acres of wetlands. People population at the last census was 3000. I can’t say what the fish population is; however, I can report that according to the Lac du Flambeau Chamber of Commerce, the world’s largest sturgeon came out of Lake Pokegama and is currently housed in a Lac du Flambeau museum. This monster measured 7 feet,1 inch, weighed 195 pounds and 40 inches around.

That’s quite a catch. And this was a great piece of bait. I filled in every square of the crossword in record time.

 

Reservation Notices Go Out This Week

(Monday, 30 November 2009) by Michele Cozzens

The first week of December sneaks up on me every year. I suppose it's because we get so wrapped up in our Thanksgiving plans we fail to think about what follows it. Anyway, here it is Monday morning, and after a long weekend away I have come home to massive lists of work to accomplish this week. First on the agenda? Getting out reservation notices to our guests who've reserved cabins for next summer. The deposits we request, due January 20, enable us to pay the first half of the year property taxes. Pretty important stuff.

Once again we're going to make the request that anyone who knows they will NOT be confirming their reservation to please let us know immediately. We'd like to make those cabins available to those who are currently trying to get into Sandy Point Resort. THANK YOU.
