Mitch Mode photographed this small porcupine nestled on a tree branch just outside Rhinelander last week. The common porcupine is entirely vegetarian. A major shift in its food habits takes place between the winter and summer months. The winter diet consists mainly of evergreen needles and the cambium layer and inner bark of trees. During the spring and summer, the common porcupine eats buds, tender twigs, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, berries, nuts and other vegetation. Common porcupines are also known to gnaw on bones and antlers from the ground due to their high mineral content. “I most often see them in trees and only occasionally on the ground,” said Mode. “They seem to like the smaller branches.” During the summer, porcupines often climb trees to avoid pestering insects.

White-tailed deer fawns can be seen all over the Northwoods in good numbers, including this newly born one photographed by Mitch Mode near Rhinelander last week. According to the Wisconsin DNR, fawns are rarely abandoned, but are intentionally left alone by their mothers. They have no scent, and leaving them hidden alone helps protect them from predators. The doe is nearby but out of sight and returns once or twice a day to care for the fawn. If you see a fawn, leave it alone and its mother will take care of it.

Northwoods high school students compete in Nicolet College welding competition - Fifteen students from area high schools recently competed in Nicolet College’s High School Welding Competition Finals. While the annual event at Nicolet gave students the chance to sharpen and show off their welding skills, it also did much more than that, said Susan Kordula, director of Admissions and PK-16 Pathways at Nicolet. “It also gives them the added opportunity to further explore welding as a possible career and by having the event at Nicolet, they also get a taste of what a college campus is like,” Kordula said. “For many of these students, this is the first time they’ve had the opportunity to visit Nicolet.” Qualifying rounds were held in March, with students tested on welding and math skills. The top 15 students, their instructors and competition judges are pictured here. They include, first row, left to right, Dave Stofflet, judge from Oldenburg Lakeshore, Josh Fuller, Northland Pines instructor, Travis Goeks, Elcho instructor; Cody Rustick and Kristine Irish, both from Elcho; Ben Pitlik, Patrick Levandoski, Emerson Hegeman, Ian Stenback, and instructor Mike Gorney, all from Three Lakes; David Denis, judge from NorthStar Steel; and Warren Krause, Nicolet College Welding Instructor.

Dylan Myers from Tomahawk placed first in the competition, followed by Cody Rustick of Elcho in second place and Cody Bandoch of Tomahawk in third place. All students received prizes for making it to the finals.

Bob Abel and Kelli Jacobi of Kiwanis present Guy Hansen, RAFP, with a check for $1,000 to help kick off the March and April Feinstein Challenge. Each year the Feinstein Foundation divides $1 million among food pantries nationwide in proportion to how much money and food (valued at $1 per pound) each pantry collects during these two months. Kiwanis will also be a major sponsor of the third annual CANtastic competition. In this contest, teams from area businesses and community groups build structures out of cans based on a theme. The creations are judged and prizes are awarded. This year’s theme is “Shine A Light on Hunger.” Kiwanis and Ripco Credit Union will each donate $100 per team for “building material.”
