Signs of Summer

Warm sunny weather with a little rain now and then, actually hot during the day and comfortable at night. The lake water level receding . Actually Dickey Lake has dropped three feet since the high water level when the ice went out. Loons have returned and ducks are paddling around. Black flies are coming out and ready to suck up all that city blood. Be prepared. Several boats have been launched for the summer.  Caution on the water though as logs and smaller pieces of wood continue to float around.

Succession Planning

Cottage Succession Planning protects what you love.

Your goal is to protect three things: the people you love, a place you love and the life experiences and cottage memories you have.

By having a solid cottage succession plan in place your heirs avoid common estate and real estate surprises.

An informative, no sales pitch session on succession planning took place, Saturday, July 7, 2012 at 1:00 p.m., at 584 Jennison Road.

This presentation opportunity had been advertised on both Shawano sign boards, in the spring 2012 edition of The Loon’s Call and posted on this web site.

Geoffrey Parker, Stonehaven Finanacial Group Inc. was the guest presenter.

Nancy & Wally Pitt convened this event on behalf of Shawano Ratepayers Inc.

Geoffery delivered a most informative presentation with wisdom and knowledge.

Bears “Love” Garbage

Recently several garbage bins were toppled, some moved a distance and some destroyed along Skeen Road and Jennison Road.  The alleged cultrits are most likely black bears.

As a reminder, and a caution, do not leave garbage for any length of time in any outdoor bin or container.  Racoons are destroying plastic garbage pails this spring, but “the big messes” are most likely cause by bear.

Black bear sightings have been reported in the immediate Shawano area.
