And we'll be waiting for them with the drones, too," Schukow said. "If we can keep them from nesting, we can keep them out. Once they're nesting, you're all done.

The game's over." The U.S. Department of Agriculture would not allow action against the gulls this year until the fledgling birds left their nests. Wednesday night, the once heavily-nested field was empty and the stench from the growing mounds of feces was gone. To ensure the birds don't return, Schukow was busy putting up a grid of 5,000 feet or more of string to form a "spider web" over the entire lot. "Let's hope that they stay away.

Because they smell," said Chris Parrisch, 42, who had come with her 13-year-old son, Ben, to see the progress Wednesday night. "Because that one time we had that wicked rain, and we came to the store, boy did it smell bad. It was horrible." Wittkopp said she was surprised the day's efforts yielded such impressive results.

But Schukow who clarified Wednesday night that the lasers he planned on using consisted of about a half-dozen laser pen lights tied together -said they weren't needed because the gulls hadn't returned. "There were people here earlier that were saying, 'When's the light said Schukow, who was hired to roust the feathered inhabitants. "And I said, 'Well, I don't know. When's Pink Floyd getting But despite that, Wittkopp was happy to see the field empty.

"Awesome! It really worked!" Wittkopp yelled to Schukow. "I give the heavy equipment the credit today," Schukow said. He's happy with the results so far, he said. "A few groups of them came back, circled over, saw the equipment and headed back out again. I was kind of surprised that they didn't come down and start scratching around." But while this battle may be won, the war is far from over, he added.

"Even though the sun is low in the sky in the winter, we don't have a lot of cloud cover." Car buyers who choose gas-electric hybrids will be eligible for tax credits ranging from $500 to $3,000, depending on the vehicle's gas efficiency. High-efficiency central air conditioners and other energy-saving improvements to homes, such as new windows, will be eligible in 2006 for tax credits, depending on the energy savings. Factory-built homes also will be eligible. There also are new tax credits for energy-efficient washing machines, refrigerators and dishwashers, but only manufacturers will be able to claim them.

And there are federal tax incentives for businesses to construct more wind farms and ethanol factories. "Generally, I think there are some positive things that are in that legislation," said Daniel Ebert, chairman of the Wisconsin Public Service Commission. The top two are: better national standards for the reliability of electrical transmission in response to the Northeast blackout in the summer of 2003; and tax credits for renewable energy, Ebert said.

While the chemo room is the largest addition, taking up what used to be part of a parking lot, there have been many other changes to the facility most of them involving a rearranging of the building's structure. The facility's basement, previously used for storage, has been turned into a conference room, research lab, office space and an employee lounge. On the main floor, the clinic's radiation area has also increased, including a separate entrance for those receiving radiation, as well as a private waiting room, with changing rooms and lockers for personal comfort.

Wisconsin regulators are talking with the state legislators in Madison about possible legislation requiring that 10 percent of energy production come from renewable sources by 2015. The Energy Tax Incentives Act of 2005, approved by the House and Senate last week, has $11.5 billion in tax credits and write-offs through 2015.

Most focus on construction of new electrical transmission lines, refineries, and production and extraction of oil, gas and coal. Wisconsin has five wind farms in Brown, Kewaunee, Dodge and Iowa counties that collectively produce about 53 megawatts of power from 55 windmills, according to the state public service commission. A 99-megawatt wind farm, which would provide enough electricity for 40,000 homes, has been proposed in Marathon County. And a 200-megawatt one the largest in the state was recently approved by state regulators in an area along the border of Fond du Lac and Dodge counties. Ethanol, a gasoline additive produced from corn, would go from its current consumption rate of 4 billion gallons a year to at least 7.5 billion gallons in 2012, under the federal legislation.

Wisconsin already has five ethanol plants: Ace Ethanol in Stanley; Badger State Ethanol in Monroe; Central Wisconsin Alcohol in Plover, United Wisconsin Grain Producers in Friesland; and Utica Energy in Oshkosh. A sixth plant -owned by Western Wisconsin Renewable Energy Cooperative is under construction in Boyceville.

"Last summer, we looked at what we could do," said Jerrold Kamp, administrator of the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic. "We were strapped for space. Scheduling chemotherapy was difficult and the area was limited for what we could do." During the renovations, the largest project was increasing the size of the chemo room to nearly four times it's previous size doubling the number of chairs and increasing the amount of space around them so that patients could have privacy or guests as desired. "If there are family members there, they can have a chair by you and talk to you," Kamp said. "In the past, that was almost impossible." The addition also includes privacy features, such as curtains that can be drawn around DAY IN COURT Day in Court is a regular feature of The Press.

The Sheboygan Press August 4, 2005 ty," said Dr. Craig Schulz, a radiation oncologist at the clinic. "The second priority was making it so the employees have more space and privacy and a better work environment." The main waiting room has also received an addition.

The library now occupies one expanded end of the room, allowing both patients and the public, free access to a variety of cancer information sources. Previously, the library was located in the old conference room, which made it impossible to access if there was a meeting in progress. Schulz said other additions include the installation of an in-house dietary service with an emphasis on oncologic care. "We also have a genetics counselor once a month," Schulz said. "People used to have to go to Milwaukee or Green Bay (for that.) Now, it's coming here." Doctors said the reason the clinic expanded was a lack of space due to increased business at the clinic over the years.

And now that the renovations are complete, they are astounded at the results. "It's spectacular," Schulz said. "Everybody is so happy. We asked for and we got times two. They gave us twice as much as what we wanted." Operating after revocation Laurie L.
