The Bulletin: Coming Up

• The Egg Harbor Village Board meets the second Monday of each month at 6 pm at the Bertschinger Center in Egg Harbor. The village Plan Commission meets at the same location at 6 pm on the first Tuesday of the month.

• A decision on whether the Village of Egg Harbor will be granted the necessary permits to proceed on its marina reconstruction project is expected by Dec. 4. If the permits are issued, the village will have to go to referendum to get electors approval for the $7.9 million project.

• A State Supreme Court race and State Superintendent of Public Instruction will be on the April 7 Spring General Election in Wisconsin. Primary elections are set for Tuesday, Feb. 17. Candidates can begin circulating nomination papers Dec. 1, while the deadline to submit notification of non-candidacy is Dec. 26. Nomination papers must be in by Jan. 6.

• Wisconsin’s deer herd exceeds 1.5 million animals, according to the DNR, though the hunting season that opened Nov. 22 should put a dent in it. The DNR said Door County ranks low on in bucks killed per square mile, at under two. Southern Shawano and northern Waupaca counties boast 7.4 bucks killed per square mile.

• Deer hunters can donate un-needed venison to the Department of Natural Resource’s Hunt for the Hungry program at Door Custom Meats, 3091 Bechtel Rd, Sturgeon Bay. Call 920.746.0304; or Haberli’s Deer Processing at 4259 Haberli Rd. Call 920.743.5736.

• The famed University of Wisconsin-Madison Marching Band will highlight the Sturgeon Bay Holiday Parade Dec. 6. The parade will begin at Sawyer Park at 10 am.

• The Village of Ephraim is gathering information on what it would take to reconstruct the village tennis courts. The courts have fallen into dis-repair. Administrator Diane Kirkland said the village brought in $800 a month in user fees in the 1970s for the courts, and today brings in that same amount for an entire season.

• Ephraim is also investigating bringing in coarser sand to its beach to help with storm water filtration after consulting with the Door County Soil and Water Conservation Department. The fine sand at the beach now gets blown away in high winds and forms pools of stagnant water when it gets wet. The village would like to keep the cost below $10,000.

• Ephraim will also be burying power lines between the Anderson House condominiums and the Iverson House on Moravia Street.
