State Supreme Court Justice Gerald J. Whalen's elevation to the Appellate Division in Rochester was announced Monday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
"It's dive in and get to work," Whalen said of his new job.
Court papers from cases the appellate court will hear later this month are already stacked in his Erie County Courthouse chambers. He will move to his new chambers in the City Court building in a day or two.
"The appointment is really wonderful, and I'm looking forward to serving," said Whalen, 55, of the Town of Hamburg.
Whalen, a Democrat, won election to his State Supreme Court seat in November 2005 and began serving in 2006. His current term expires in 2019.
He has handled a range of cases during his time as a trial judge, from matrimonial to malpractice and criminal to civil.
About 400 cases now on his calendar will be dispersed to other judges.
Cuomo thanked his judicial screening committees for presenting him with Whalen and other judges across the state whom Cuomo designated as appellate judges. Whalen was deemed "highly qualified" by the screening committee. "I feel very proud to have gotten through that interview process," he said.
Whalen said he applied for the appellate seat because he wanted to push himself to be the best judge he can be. "I know the Appellate Division will prove a challenging experience for me," he said. "I want to get better at what I'm doing."
Before becoming a judge, Whalen was a partner in the Buffalo office of Hiscock and Barclay, a law firm with offices statewide. He has more than 20 years of trial-lawyer experience.
Whalen comes from a South Buffalo family prominent in public office. His late grandfather, Gerald Whalen, was South District Council member in the 1940s, and his father, Gerald Whalen Jr., served on the Council for 20 years.
Whalen earned an undergraduate degree from Canisius College in 1979 and a law degree from the University at Buffalo Law School in 1983.
State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Valentino, who serves in Monroe County, was also named to the appellate court. He got his undergraduate degree from Niagara University in 1968.
With Monday's appointments, one vacancy remains on the Rochester appellate bench.

In the end, it came down to the workers.
One by one, they took the witness stand and testified about benzene emissions and toxic sludge and how Tonawanda Coke seemed nervous about government inspectors.
A federal jury, after listening to those workers, found the Town of Tonawanda company and one of its executives guilty Thursday of polluting the air and ground at its River Road plant.
The panel of 12 men and women deliberated much of the day before returning guilty verdicts on 14 of the 19 criminal charges against the company and 15 of the 19 charges against Mark L. Kamholz, its environmental controls manager. The company and Kamholz face possible fines of more than $200 million, and Kamholz could be sentenced to up to 75 years in prison.
"Justice was served," said Jackie James Creedon, founder of the Tonawanda Community Fund, a local citizens group. "It was a message to all industrial polluters."
The verdict followed four weeks of testimony by more than 30 witnesses, many of them former and current Tonawanda Coke employees who testified about clean air violations and the improper handling of hazardous waste.
"I think the testimony from workers was very compelling," said Erin Heaney, executive director of the Clean Air Coalition of Western New York. "I want to thank those workers for coming forward."
Defense lawyers and company executives declined to comment after the verdict, which came after several hours of jury deliberation and just a day after lawyers on both sides gave their summations.
The case, believed to be the biggest local environmental trial in years and only the second criminal prosecution nationally involving the Clean Air Act, centered around a wide range of allegations.
Six of the 19 charges dealt with a little-known bleeder valve that spewed coke oven gas with benzene into the air.
The company also stood accused of using "quenching" or cooling towers that lacked necessary anti-pollution equipment and of illegally disposing of coal-tar sludge, one of the byproducts of its coking operation.
The jury found the company and Kamholz guilty of all three allegations but not guilty of similar charges related to one of its two quenching towers.
Kamholz, a 30-year employee of the company, also was found guilty of obstructing justice.
"This was an historic case on many levels," said U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. "In the end, this was all about Tonawanda Coke and Mark Kamholz putting profits ahead of people."
Hochul doesn't think the trial hinged on any one piece of evidence or any single day of testimony. "I think it was the accumulation of evidence," he said.
Even the defense, in its closing arguments, acknowledged the importance of the workers who testified on behalf of the prosecution.
Of those witnesses, none seemed as influential as plant manager Patrick Cahill. It was Cahill, among others, who testified about the frequency and duration of the bleeder valve's openings and Tonawanda Coke's nervousness about inspectors learning about its emissions.
"We can't have that going off when they're here," Kamholz is alleged to have told Cahill in the days leading up to an April 2009 inspection.
Cahill also claims he overheard Kamholz tell state and federal inspectors that it was steam, not coke oven gas, coming out of the valve. "I was mad," he said at the trial when asked about Kamholz's comments. "Mark should have known it was coke oven gas."
Cahill admitted that he felt put on the spot by Kamholz's comments but conceded he had already taken steps to prevent the valve from opening during the 2009 inspection. He acknowledged adjusting the back pressure on the coke oven gas line each day the inspectors were on site so that the bleeder valve would not open as frequently.
He never told anyone about the adjustments but later testified that he had assumed that's what Kamholz and the company wanted him to do while the six-day inspection was under way.
"I didn't want anyone to find out why I was making the adjustments," Cahill told the jury and Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny.
From the first day of the trial, prosecutors Aaron J. Mango and Rocky Piaggione portrayed Tonawanda Coke as a company eager to avoid spending money on environmental compliance.
The company tried to counter that by suggesting it had complied with state and federal regulations for 30 years and that its problems started when inspectors changed how Tonawanda Coke was regulated during the 2009 visit.
To make its point, the company called a former state inspector who testified that he had repeatedly found Tonawanda Coke in compliance with state and federal regulations.
"There was a tsunami change," Rodney O. Personius, Kamholz's defense lawyer, said of the change in attitude among regulators. "Our position is that it just wasn't fair."
The verdict drew praise from federal officials in Washington D.C.
"The Tonawanda Coke Corp. and Mr. Kamholz intentionally deceived federal regulators," Ignacia S. Moreno, assistant attorney general for the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Justice Department, said. "The conviction of the corporate and individual defendants on almost all of the counts charged is a just and fair result that will benefit the people of Buffalo."
The trial was the result of an investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Police.
Skretny will sentence the company and Kamholz on July 15.

The Stetson University volleyball team (15-10, 6-4 A-Sun) will make its first-ever appearance on ESPN3 Friday night as the Hatters travel to Kennesaw, Ga., to take on the Kennesaw State Owls (8-12, 3-7). First serve is set for 7 p.m. in a match broadcast via ESPN3.com and the WatchESPN app for mobile devices to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.
Stetson will also face Mercer (1-20, 0-11) at 3 p.m. on Saturday, completing a key weekend of Atlantic Sun Conference matches. A pair of victories by the Hatters would put the team on the verge of securing a spot for the A-Sun Championship, Nov. 21-23 in Kennesaw.
Stetson defeated both Kennesaw State and Mercer in DeLand earlier this season, but both matches were tightly contested. The Hatters topped the Bears 3-1 (25-22, 18-25, 25-12, 25-20) on Sept. 27, and edged the Owls 3-1 (29-27, 26-24, 23-25, 25-22) on Sept. 28. Tiffany Creamer combined for 28 kills in the two matches and was later named the A-Sun Freshman of the Week.
Stetson is coming off a 3-0 setback at Jacksonville on Tuesday, but not before a couple of Hatters moved up the career leaderboard in school history. Kaley Melville now ranks third all-time with 1178 kills, and Ellen Hawks ranks fifth all-time with 364 blocks. Both Melville and Hawks have also recently surpassed 400 sets played.
The Hatters will also be on ESPN3 on Nov. 15 at Lipscomb, as well as each match in the A-Sun Championship.
Launched in April 2011, WatchESPN delivers live access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3 and ESPN Buzzer Beater/Goal Line on computers, smartphones, tablets, Xbox and Apple TV. It is currently accessible in 55 million households nationwide to fans who receive ESPN's linear networks as part of their video subscription from Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks, Verizon FiOS TV, Comcast Xfinity TV, Midcontinent Communications, Cablevision, Cox, Charter or AT&T U-verse (coming soon to NRTC members' customers).

Brooke Shields Gossip
Brooke Shields gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Fence sitting Brooke
Last week, after Kiefer Sutherland decided to smash his head up against another dude's face causing injury – in defence of Brooke Shields – a statement was released on her behalf that effectively sold him out. At the time, she supposedly announced via her publicists that she'd no idea why Kiefer would have reacted that way and that Jack McCollough, the victim of the headbutt, did nothing wrong. Full Story
Kiefer did this
His name is Jack McCollough, one of the designers of Proenza Schouler. As you can see, he has a cut on his nose. He received the cut courtesy of Kiefer Sutherland's head. After the Met Gala on Monday night, Kiefer was at a party talking to Brooke Shields. He claims McCollough bumped into Brooke and demanded an apology. Full Story
Twilight and Brooke Shields
Exclusive They were hanging out together last night at a bar/lounge – Brooke Shields with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Rachelle Lefevre, and several others. You'll recall, Brooke and Pattinson were on the same flight together from LA on Sunday night. Famous people meeting famous people and then becoming friends. Full Story
Rob's weekend getaway
Robert Pattinson slipped away from Vancouver this weekend for a quick break to LA. Returned back on Sunday night to continue working on New Moon.

Best Emmy Ruffles: Brooke Shields
On live tv it was spectacular. Even more so because Brooke Shields is not a weak woman. Not physically at least. Brooke is not a waif. She looks strong but not herm. Feminine but not tarty. And pretty but not frozen. Brooke Shields is younger than Nicole Kidman. Two years. Hard to believe, non? Photos from Wenn.com Full Story
The GMD Bracing for Battle
Praise Xenu! We were all deflated last month when British reports suggested that Andrew Morton's Tom Cruise exposé was not going to be published in the UK because it wasn't scandalous enough…but now it turns out it's actually not going to be published in the UK because it's TOO SCANDALOUS and publishers fear that British libel laws will make it too costly for them to defend.

Love the implosion! Travis
Love the implosion! Travis Wood must be depressed with the game outcomes this year. He has turned into.a.nice asset for the club. Yet fucked over once again by the manager's decisions and a crap Ass reliever.
anyone find video of Beefy's
anyone find video of Beefy's "brain camp" that's filling up my twitter timeline? He seems to think he lost the game for the team.
welly made a comment after
welly made a comment after the game "I feel like I lost the game." on the passed ball.
the pitch missed it's target by a couple of feet, though...unless he was supposed to be set up high and outside rather than low and inside.
he did "screw up" by jogging after the ball to retrieve it rather than hustling after it after the passed ball, though. it's not shocking he missed the passed ball based on where he was set up to receive the pitch (unless he was crossed up on the sign), but it was weird how casual he was going after it. the runner took his cue to break for home based on the lack of hustle for the ball f'sure.
i just finished watching the game after a busy day/evening away from the world of baseball...it was a game of killer cubs D followed by classic cubs lack of D late-inning piling on top of itself. the borbon catch at the wall...the rizzo catch...both some of the best of the year so far.
Tweets made it sound like
Tweets made it sound like Castillo was primarily apologizing for the lack of hustle when he retrieved the passed ball. There was an "I'm not that kind of player" comment that only makes sense to me in that context.
"I'm not that kind of player"
"I'm not that kind of player"
Except when he's on the base paths where he has "brain cramps" also.
I don't think managerial
I don't think managerial decisions played much into this loss. Rather some horrible luck on not very well hit balls and a poor decision by Castillo. Still I do believe you loved the implosion though. You must hate the good defense Castro has been playing.
"Love the implosion" was
"Love the implosion" was [sarcastic]. You mean Castro's 13th of 14th players NL Fielding percentage? Is that the "good defense" you mean? Or, the 5 errors? Yeah, he has made some spectacular, highlight plays - but still a below-average fielder for the most important position on the field. I wouldn't mind some consistency finally after three years of playing full-time.
It doesn't really matter this year - but it would be nice to see this.
I suppose that luck did have something to do with today's loss. But it seems like this year when Shawn Camp is in - bad things happen.
Ugh fielding % (and errors).
Ugh fielding % (and errors). It's like judging a hitter by RBIs or average. Everything I read and saw last year said he did improve quite a bit last year from subpar to average and a cursory look through fielding stats seems to support that. I didn't see the first part of this season when he committed his errors but since then his defense has looked average to good and his bat is picking up too, along with Rizzo, who people also started bashing because of a couple weeks of work.
I have no problem with his
I have no problem with his hitting. Especially for the age he is at. The kid can hit. Which covers up his defensive mediocrity. We will see in September where his defensive stats end up, but I really hope he can turn into a Gold Glove caliber fielder like Darwin Barney - who is steady as shitty weather in April. At the very least, I will take average on a consistent basis with a dramatic reduction in errors.
I don't think he's a mediocre
I don't think he's a mediocre fielder. He's improved his defense a lot, and has had to take his lumps in front of the camera, instead of down in the minors like most guys his age. Most of his bad plays are bone head plays and they seem to have mostly happened early in the year. He works well with Barney, too. That crazy flip Barney made to him with his mitt was well timed, and a mediocre fielder would have botched his part of it.
I presume folks won't be as angry about this one as the time Berkman faked getting hit?

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

Hamilton welcomes applications from home schoolers. Home schoolers have been part of our community for many years, and we recognize the particular assets they bring to college life: initiative, independence, and a penchant for learning creatively. We offer the following information to assist you in assembling your application to Hamilton, and to facilitate our evaluation of your candidacy.
We use the same criteria to evaluate home schooled applicants as we do for all others. At the same time, we recognize that home schoolers' academic backgrounds are distinctive. We strongly encourage home schooled applicants to help us get an adequate picture of their college preparation. To that end, we ask that home schoolers submit the following with their applications:
Like all candidates for admission to Hamilton, home schoolers should submit scores from nationally recognized standardized tests. Refer to the general application guidelines for Hamilton's list of testing options.
The Common Application calls for letters of recommendation from teachers and guidance counselors, but these designations often will not have the same meaning in home school households as they do in conventional schools. In choosing who will write on your behalf, then, we suggest that you select individuals who know you well as a student, and as a person, beyond your household: an employer, a pastor, priest, or rabbi, a scout leader, athletic coach, or tutor, for example.
Hamilton has a well-earned reputation as a college of opportunity. That's why we follow a need-blind policy when reviewing domestic applications for admission. What does this mean? Your family's financial situation will not be considered when assessing your qualifications for admission.

on January 16, 2013 - 2:56 PM
The chief of staff for Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw has resigned after only two weeks on the job.
Jeffrey Bochiechio submitted his resignation Tuesday, according to Mychajliw.
Bochiechio was convicted Tuesday in Machias Town Court of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. The conviction followed an October arrest in the town in which he registered a 0.13 percent blood-alcohol content, according to the Cattaraugus County District Attorney's Office.
"I promised I would hold my employees to the highest of standards," Mychajliw said. "I set that bar very high for myself and for my office. We need to hold ourselves to the highest of standards, and when those standards were not met, this individual offered to resign, and I accepted it."
Mychajliw, who thanked Bochiechio for his service, said he wished him "the best both personally and professionally in the days and weeks to come."
A former campaign aide to Chris Collins, Bochiechio previously worked for the State Senate Republicans as a Western New York regional director.
"I accept the consequences for my actions," Bochiechio told The Buffalo News in a written statement. "This is a personal matter for me, and I had hoped it would stay private. I felt I brought a unique set of skills that would have served the Comptroller's Office well. However, the criticism I received over the last week would have negatively affected my ability to do this job, so I resigned."
He apologized to his family and friends for "any embarrassment this has caused."
Bochiechio was one of three appointments Mychajliw has made since taking office as comptroller Jan. 1. Mychajliw said he will begin a search to fill the position. "There are people that we interviewed early in the process that we're going to talk to again," Mychajliw said when asked about potential candidates. "I've made no decision."

Heritage Language Education: What Can Scotland Learn from Hawai'i?October 30, 3:30pm - 4:30pm
Manoa Campus, Hamilton Library Room 301
Arlene Holmes-Henderson is a visiting scholar at UH Manoa where she is conducting research as the Scottish Studies scholar of the US-UK Fulbright Commission. With degrees from Oxford, Harvard and Cambridge universities, Arlene has a wide range of academic interests including Classical languages, education, political philosophy and language policy.
Scotland's heritage language, Gaelic, is in peril. With the number of speakers in decline, the clock of language death is ticking. Despite strong support from the Scottish government through a number of stabilization and revitalization strategies over the last decade, the outlook remains bleak. What can be learned from the Hawaiian model of language revitalization? Can this comparative study yield positive results for Gaelic, or is it too late?

Based on a survey of a nationally representative sample of students conducted in May and June 2011, this report presents the most comprehensive research to date on sexual harassment in grades 7–12 and reveals some sobering statistics about the prevalence of sexual harassment and the negative impact it has on students' education. The report concludes with concrete recommendations and promising practices for preventing sexual harassment. The recommendations are directed at school administrators, educators, parents, students, and community members. We hope readers will be inspired to take new steps toward making schools free from sexual harassment.

PEOPLE confirms that a marriage license was filed in Sumner County, just north of Nashville, on Tuesday under the names Kelly Brielle Clarkson and Narvel Brandon Blackstock, and is good for 30 days. The singer also confessed on Access Hollywood on Saturday that she was getting married soon. "Like, really soon," she said.
As Clarkson told PEOPLE last February, the duo were planning on throwing a big backyard wedding this fall that included 200 guests, sunflowers and yellow roses, and a Thanksgiving-inspired dinner—until they got sick of the planning and decided to elope instead.
"We just got so overwhelmed by it – all the decisions," she said. "Our lives are so in the spotlight all the time. Everything is such a spectacle, we were like, 'We would rather have an intimate moment that's special.' "
Clarkson, 31, and Blackstock, 36, sent an engagement photo to all of their guests saying, "Thank you so much, but it's just going to be me and Brandon and his two kids and the minister."
Clarkson also recently revealed that as soon as she and Blackstock tie the knot, they'll begin working on their next adventure: starting a family.
"I already told him that when we're past the wedding, I want a baby," she told Access Hollywood.
The couple, who dated for a year before Blackstock proposed last December, won't have much time to squeeze in a honeymoon before Clarkson is due in Las Vegas to perform a special concert at The Venetian Oct. 30 for an upcoming holiday special.
Her first Christmas album, Wrapped in Red, will be released on Oct. 29.
E! was first to report the wedding license news.

First revived in 1740 at Drury Lane.
This wrestling scene (I.ii.215) probably shows Mrs. Pritchard as Rosalind (centre right) and Mrs. Clive (1711-1785) as Celia (behind her). Mrs. Pritchard was unsurpassed in comic roles such as Rosalind and Beatrice, and was famous in scolding parts, so that many thought she excelled as a comedienne rather than a tragic actress. This production was so successful that it was repeated 26 times that season.

haha ok, I take back my comment
when they introduced the regicide into AOE3 Ensembles Studios was nearing it's end. they were not able to make the game style for other maps so, unfortunately you are left with only one map.
As for the Japanese castles, i don't know that one :3.
ES should have made regicide into a game type instead of making the coding for one map. Honshu is one of the least played maps. I personally have never seen anyone host a regicide game.
Please note that this is an Old Topic. And they are not ES anymore, they are Robot.
I do agree that it would be nice to have more maps of that type, however, the Castle and Regicide are both, in history I believe, Japanese, so it wouldn't be a Real history deal, just another Scenario-like map. I ask that this be the last post on here. This is an inactive thread. Ok?

LEETONIA- Police are investigating two break-ins at St. Patrick's Catholic Church within the past two months.
Police Chief John Soldano said that someone broke into the old school building at the Main Street church Friday evening. The department was already investigating a break-in at the building about six weeks earlier when an intruder broke out a window, he said.
Soldano said the building houses a small office as well as rooms for the Knights of Columbus and other church organizations. He noted that since some of the organizations were storing donations, it is unknown how much if anything had been removed. A member of the church administration did report on Monday, though, that several items had been taken from a refrigerator in the kitchen, he said.
Soldano said there are currently no leads on a suspect, but that the department takes the action seriously. "We're definitely looking into it," he said. "You don't want this kind of thing happening."
Anyone with information about the break-ins is encouraged to call the department at 330-427-6731.

NATH gets Legendary Donation
Submitted: 01/21/2013
Story By Ryan Abney
- The Northwood's Alliance for Temporary Housing just got some help from an unexpected group.In a time where finances are tight and people are looking for an answer, sometimes all you can hope for is to "Sail Away".
Which is also the name of a tune from popular 80's band "Styx".
The group recently donated a guitar to auction off. It'll help Frederick Place's fundraiser to help the homeless. Tammy Modic is NATH's Executive Director...she says it took some work to get the instrument.
"So in telling a story to Carol about trying to get some autographs things from different people, and talking about Styx. She said I think we can figure this out. So a week after telling her that story we had in hand a fender guitar that was autographed by all members of the band Styx."
NATH is also working with the Onieda County Tavern League to put on an 80's party. Modic knows that having this new connection definitely helped inspire the theme.
"Well having the partnership with a nationally known band maybe internationally know band Styx, Is kind of a neat idea. To know that someone who is really based out of Chicago is helping us here in Northern Wisconsin."
The autographed guitar is currently touring bars around Northern Wisconsin.
The "Totally 80's Party" is set for April 13th.

Oneida County wineries are successful despite the unusual climate
Submitted: 09/29/2016
Play Video
- No matter the weather, a glass of wine can be enjoyed year round. Even in the bitter cold, there are wineries in Oneida County that still offer tastings and wine tours.
"When people think of a winery, they do think of grape wines. They're kind of surprised, pleasantly surprised when they come to our winery and see fruit wines," said Terri Schenck from Three Lakes Winery.
The Oneida County wineries are a little bit different than what you'd see in Napa Valley.
"It is a farm so we are working on different crops, black currants, apples and an experimental vineyard," said Linda Welbes from Brigadoon Winery in Tripoli.
With the unique flavors of wines, Three Lakes Winery and Brigadoon Winery often see a lot of visitors from out of town.
"They usually say, 'I didn't know how much I needed this.' They relax, they unwind whether it's summer time or fall, just to sit outdoors when it's beautiful, it's peaceful, it's quiet," said Welbes.
Three Lakes Winery has a lot of history behind their building.
"The actual winery itself is an old Chicago Northwestern Train Depot that was built in 1880. There was a tornado or wind storm that happened in 1924 that destroyed the building," said Schenck.
The building was rebuilt shortly after. Every fall the winery hosts cranberry marsh tours.
"There are several bogs in the area and it's interesting for people to be able to go and see a bog and see how the cranberries are harvested and what goes into making cranberry wine," said Schenck.
With winter right around the corner, the crops won't be producing much.
"The crops, they are what they are. It's farming so there's not much you have to do and you just hope for good weather. Lots of snow cover, that helps," said Welbes.
The Three Eagle Trail runs right into the parking lot of Three Lakes Winery. That brings in a lot of traffic year-round.
"In the winter time it turns into the snowmobile trail. We will get a lot of snowmobile traffic in the winter time and a lot of foot traffic, hiking, biking people in the summer time," said Schenck.

No penalty for Merrill historic item investigation
Submitted: 09/29/2016
- The debate in Merrill over what's junk and what's historic treasure may not end soon.
It appears Merrill City leaders won't punish two of its workers for taking items from a now demolished building on the Lincoln County Fair Grounds.
After about a month-long investigation, Mayor Bill Bialecki sent out a statement Thursday morning on behalf of the common council with a decision.
It said, "The actions of City Administrator Dave Johnson and Fire Chief Dave Savone, although not in violation of city Ordinances or policies, were in poor judgment. They have been advised to follow City ordinances and policies to avoid improper conduct or the appearance of such conduct, as it reflects poorly on City Government."
Back in July, Savone got the okay from Johnson to help a friend take some shutters and tables from the
Schultz building on the grounds before it was demolished.
But some people considered those items historic and expressed their concern on social media.
The Merrill City Common Council then hired an outside firm to investigate.
Now that that's done, Johnson still feels the same way he always did.
"I've stated from the beginning that there were no laws, ordinances or policies that were violated, and that is what the investigation showed," Johnson said. "So, I mean, how can I feel other than vindicated?"
Johnson and Savone did return the items.
Savone did not want to talk on camera but told Newswatch 12 he did not violate any ordinances.
Opponents of this decision believe the city leaders violated state open meetings laws.
According to documents obtained by Newswatch 12, those opponents filed a complaint Thursday afternoon with the Lincoln County District Attorney.

"We'd love to wear the tires out in year one," Welhoefer said.
The Three Lakes principal loaded bike after bike--29 on this trip--into a trailer parked outside of Mel's Trading Post in Rhinelander Thursday afternoon. The school district purchased 63 bikes to promote healthy habits in Three Lakes students.
"Get outside, breathe some fresh air, soak in some sunshine, take a little ride," Welhoefer said.

Sixth grade positivity conference
Submitted: 09/29/2016
Play Video
- 300 Vilas County sixth-graders joined together against drugs and alcohol in St. Germain Thursday.
The kids got to hang out with peers they will be going to high school with in a couple of years.
Though it all looked like fun and games, each exercise opened the floor to more serious topics like cyber-bullying, drug use, and underage drinking.
"There are little things that we are planting seeds and as those seeds are planted, later on others can help it grow as well," said UW Extension Youth Agent Nancy Ann Miller.
Throughout the day, the middle schoolers rotated through hands-on positive activities.
Kids were even able to talk to Nicolet College about future career plans.
At one station, the leaders showed off Native American traditions with drumming and dancing to get the middle schoolers to open up.
"They just have a riot. You ask them what's the best thing and they say everything!" said Miller.
This is the twelfth year the positivity conference joined at St. Germain Park.
Conference coordinators say the end goal is to leave the kids with a lifelong memory of the Northwoods.
