Sewer News – Sewer Gas – Sewer Repairs

by Vince Bushell Our sewer system is under ground, out of sight, and usually out of mind. Until something bad happens or something is different that we notice or when we find out how much this infrastructure costs. Some Riverwesters have been noticing a “smell” along the river and possibly in some homes.  If you smell sewer gas or a plasticy smell in your home be sure to read the advice at the end of this column. Sewers create sewer gas, as part of normal operation, although you should not smell it in your home. It is not a pleasant smell.

Door County Sled Dogs

by Janice Christensen  Photos provided by Door County Sled Dogs Meet & Greet the Door County Sled Dogs!   Saturday Feb. 4, 3pm at RRF’s Gateway Park  

Off Humboldt & Commerce St. on Riverboat Road  Free!  
Don’t miss this great event as the sled dogs arrive in their little custom bus, ready to provide a great Winter experience. These extra special dogs are a recreational mushing team made up of ten rescued Siberian Huskies, two very special Alaskan Huskies, and their two mushers, Bonnie Ulrich and Rick Desotelle.

Cuddle up with the pups, learn about good pet care, obedience training tips, and the sport of DOG SLEDDING with plenty of time for questions, answers, and fabulous photo opportunities!
