Spring election gets interesting

in Spencer and Greenwood
Spring election time will be busy in
Spencer this year as the community will
have choices to make for a new village
president and trustees, and the school district has a 3-way race for one open Board of
Education seat. There will also be contested
races on April 7 in the Greenwood School
District with six candidates seeking two
seats, and for Loyals City Council.
In the village of Spencer, incumbent
President Pauline Frome will be running
for a full term after she was appointed to the
position in July, succeeding Jim Kilty, who
resigned. Frome will be challenged in April
for the presidents seat by retired long-time
village clerk/treasurer Jerry Kobs.
Three seats will also be up for new terms
on the Village Board. Incumbents Jim Day,
Greg Pokallus and Tom Schafer will all be
on the ballot in April, as will former village
president and trustee Matt Bychinski. The
three top vote-getters in that 4-man race will
be elected to the Board.
In the Spencer School District, a Feb. 19
primary election will be needed to trim the
field of candidates for one open seat, from
three to two. Incumbent Jim Krasselt is
running for another term, and will be challenged by Shawn Lyon and Lynda LeGrand.
The top two vote-getters on Feb. 19 will then
square off on April 7.
In the Greenwood School District, four
candidates have filed to be on the ballot for
the at-large seat on the Board. Incumbent
Board President Roger Sonnentag is one of
those four, and will be joined by Dean Lindner, Wayne Fleischmann and Sarah Shaw.
A Feb. 19 primary will be held to cut that
field to two. No primary will be necessary
for the Greenwood school seat representing the northwest quadrant of the district.
Pam Delo is challenging incumbent Jerome
Krempasky for that spot.
In the city of Loyal, incumbent Mayor
Dave Williams will be unopposed in April
for another 2-year term. In the citys Ward
1, incumbent Council members Carmen
Englebretson and Betty Gluch-Voss will
also have no opposition. In Ward 2, incumbents Ralph Schmitt and Jim McBride are
running for new terms, but will have to get
past challenger Scott Zoellner first.
The city of Greenwood will have one new
City Council member in April. Incumbent
John Fitzl is not seeking a new term. Doug
Schlough is running unopposed for the
Councils 2-year, at-large seat. Incumbent
Mary Domanico is unopposed for the 1-year,
at-large term and incumbent Chuck Susa is
unopposed for a Ward 1 seat.
All will be quiet in the Loyal and Granton school districts in spring, with only
incumbents seeking new terms. In Loyal,
Katie Weiler is unopposed for another
3-year term representing the city of Loyal,
while Jeff Acker has no challenger for his
current seat representing the area north
of Highway 98. In Granton, incumbents
Theresa Hasz and Paul Knoff will both be
unopposed in April.

Senator gets to work in second term

Monday, Jan. 5 marked
the first day of the 102nd
Wisconsin Legislature
and I had the distinct privilege of being sworn into
office for my second term
representing the 23rd Senate District. It
was truly a blessing to be able to spend
the day with family and friends.
This session, I will continue to serve
as the Chair of the Agriculture, Small
Business and Tourism Committee, while
also serving on the Health and Human
Services Committee and the Sporting
Heritage, Mining and Forestry Committee. These committees provide me with
the opportunity to address a variety of
issues important to our district, like
health care, farming, hunting and fishing, and tourism. I am excited to continue
Roads: Obvious problem with no clear solution

Wisconsin has road problems that may
be costing you more in automotive repairs,
according to the League of Wisconsin
Municipalities
Its a big issue for local officials who
have 103,000 miles of roads and streets
to maintain. That compares to the 11,800
miles of Interstate and state highways
which the state Department of Transportation maintains.
Part of the Wisconsin road picture is
historic. Paved roads were helpful in getting milk from the dairy farms to processing locations. Aid from state government
played a role in helping local officials
maintain those roads.
The bulk of money in the state transportation fund comes from fuel taxes and
vehicle registration fees. Fifteen years ago,
40 percent of the state transportation fund
was returned to municipal and county
governments. Now, less than one-third of
the state transportation fund is returned
to local government.
Over the last five years, annual revenue
from fees and taxes has increased just
three-tenths of 1 percent. The recent recession contributed to a decline in travel and
more fuel-efficient vehicles played a role.
Meanwhile, road repair costs continued
to escalate.
Asphalt prices were increasing 11 percent annually on average. Thats a major
bump for local governments struggling to
fill potholes after harsh winters.
Part of the drop in help for local officials reflects a shift in priorities toward
major highway construction projects.
Critics have suggested politicians of both
parties have grown fond of fancy, multilane interstate projects with their heavy
bonding.
A 2012 study showed that 35 states have
roads that are in better condition than
those in Wisconsin. The situation was
worse in Wisconsins urban areas, according to the League of Municipalities. Just
15 percent of the highway system in those
areas was rated good.
Then, a 2013 study showed that more
than half of the roads in the Milwaukee
area were in poor condition. It suggested
that the road conditions cost Milwaukeearea drivers an average
of about $700 per year in
vehicle repairs.
Cur t Witynski, assistant director of the
League of Municipalities,
said local officials are
caught between declining
state and federal funding and the inability to
increase local taxes and
fees to adequately fund
Matt
transportation needs.
Pommer Writing in the Leagues
January magazine, he
warned of what could happen.
If nothing is done, state transportation funding could be short between $2
billion and $6 billion over the next 10
years, he wrote.
Wisconsins economy relies heavily
on transportation: manufacturing, farming and trucking claim a larger share of
employment and wages than in any other
state, save Indiana, he wrote. In addition, good roads boost Wisconsins $11
billion tourist industry.
Witynski suggests state government
might want to look at regional approaches
my work promoting small

business development and
investment in our local
communities.
With all the election
and inauguration celebrations over, the Wisconsin State Senate is
ready to address many issues, including
legislation related to mining, Right to
Work, and transportation funding. While
our state has made great progress in the
last few years, it still faces some real challenges. In this new session, I am eager to
work with new and returning legislators
on bipartisan issues for the people of
Wisconsin.
I am proud of many of my legislative
accomplishments during my first term as
your State Senator. I authored the Healthy
Jobs Act, which was signed into law and
provides grants to small businesses to
create workplace wellness programs. The
Healthy Jobs Act helps small businesses
throughout the state of Wisconsin improve
the health of their employees, reducing
future healthcare costs and boosting pro-

to raising the necessary money. There are

economies of scale in investments, as well
as economic and social impacts, regardless of jurisdiction, he said.
Local governments already have the
power to impose a wheel tax on vehicles licensed in their jurisdictions. But few local
governments have opted for the approach.
Citizens often are furious when someone
suggests a local tax to fill the potholes.
Other possible revenue raisers include
a personal property tax imposed on vehicles, a local gas tax or even a local sales
tax, Witynski suggests. But the experience with a modest wheel tax shows these
approaches could cause large political
storms.

or at night while we were asleep.

A day or so before we left, we were
driving around and Florence suggested
we stop at a place called Seashell Village.
It was just two large apartment buildings,
but we gave it a try.
We were in luck and booked an apartment for the next year. The people who
owned the property were busy building
two new apartment buildings when we got
there. It was quite an experience watching
the construction go on.
The workers came some time between
nine or 10. Then they spent time on their
cell phones before actually getting to work.
With two brand new buildings available,
we signed up for one of the units.
They were completed shortly after we
left in March. When we came back in January I had to call the office to report some
lights not working in the living room. The
manager called a electrician who came and
checked things out. He discovered that the
lights had never been connected during
construction. We couldnt believe that
anyone who had lived there in the summer
months hadnt complained.
One of the annual events we attended

back then was an annual Rotary Club
casino night, complete with a fish fry. We
got acquainted with one of the black jack
dealers. His wife managed a condo called
Island Retreat. It was built by her father.
In fact he had built two others and was
instrumental in chartering a bus and encouraging people from Canada to make the
trip to Port Aransas every winter.
As the story goes, they used to roll up
the streets in September, then wait until
the next spring for the fishing season to
bring more tourists. The arrival of Winter Texans changed all that.
After a couple of years at Seashell Village, we moved to Island Retreat and spent
another five years there before striking out
to yet another condo.
Our friends the Beckers had decided to

trade their winter visits from Arizona to
Texas and were staying at a place called
The Grand Caribbean. So were Jan and
Norm Schmidt, after they started coming
to Texas for the winter, instead of just
visiting for a week or so.
It was new and nice. There was a drawback as it was once intended to be a three
par golf course. The office was on the highway over a quarter mile from the condo
and on nasty days was sort of unhandy. It
was also six miles into town. We did stay
three years before heading back to town.

Greetings from the shores of the Gulf

of Mexico at Port Aransas, Tex. We are the
lucky ones. Clouds kept the temperature
from dropping into the 20s last night as
forecasted. But, it was a chilly 35 and a
northwest wind, at 25 miles per hour, gave
us a wind chill of 23 degrees. Not anywhere
near the chill you have been experiencing,
but enough to make the weather the top
story on the nightly news programs.
Weve been here a week now, and are getting settled and into a routine at our new
winter quarters. I say new as we moved
from the apartment we had last year to
right on the ship channel. It was nice,
but had a huge drawback. It was up two
flights of stairs, 22 steps to be exact, every
time we went or came back. Not the thing
we cherished doing at our age, even if we
needed the exercise.
This year we are in a castle, Sandcastle
Condominium. One of the larger and nicer
places on the island. Yet the cost was only
five dollars a month more than last year
and we have the luxury of an elevator
that brings us up to the fifth floor. With
the wall, which is all glass, facing the
Gulf of Mexico, you can believe the sight
is spectacular.
Sure we miss the ships going by, but our
regular routine is to pack our lunch and
head down to the ship channel or up to
Roberts Park which give us the advantage
of seeing the barge traffic on the Intercoastal Waterway, the ferries hurrying
back and forth bringing more people to the
island, or taking them off as well as seeing
the ships pass by.
Finding a place to stay is never a problem. There are plenty of motels, hotels,
apartment complexes, condominiums,
and lots of homes or single family units
available.
The first year we came it was kind of a
shot in the dark. Our son, Mark, had been
here to run on the beach in January and
had given us a recreational directory that
the local newspaper publishes. It had a
listing of all the accommodations.
Florence picked one that really sounded
nice. It turned out to be very old, but was
fine for our first year. We were only staying
a month. It was a two-bedroom apartment,
built on stilts and part of a motel complex.
They called it Malibu Inn, which had an
inviting name to it.
The refrigerator had been repainted
blue with just a brush, and the wall furnace
turned the adjacent paneling so hot that we
were afraid to run it when we werent there

Marshfield Clinic receives $620,000 grant

to improve adolescent HPV vaccine rates
MARSHFIELD -- Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation (MCRF) has received
a $620,000 grant to promote vaccination
against a common infection that can
cause cancer.
The two-year project, funded by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will supplement existing
activities at Marshfield Clinic aimed at
increasing adolescent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates.
Increasing HPV vaccine uptake
is a public health priority. The more
adolescents who are vaccinated now, the
more people we can protect against HPVrelated cancers like cervical cancer in the
future. said Huong McLean, Ph.D., one
of the studys lead investigators at MCRF.
HPV is actually a group of more than
100 kinds of viruses. Most HPV infections
are harmless, but some can lead to cancer
or genital warts. An estimated 79 million
Americans are infected with HPV, with 14
million new infections each year.
But like several other infections such
as meningitis or pertussis, HPV can be
prevented with a safe and effective vaccine.
Prior research suggests there is often
hesitation with the HPV vaccine. Some
parents arent sure how safe it is or if is
worthwhile for their child, so they hold
off on it, said Jeffrey VanWormer,
Ph.D., one of two epidemiologists leading
the study at MCRFs Center for Clinical

Epidemiology and Population Health.
But no studies on this topic have been
conducted in our area of Wisconsin
yet, so we know very little about what
influences the decision to get the HPV
vaccine here.
Three doses of HPV vaccine are recommended for 11- and 12-year-old girls
and boys. The vaccine is most effective
when received before a person is exposed
to an infection, and immune response
to the vaccine is better in younger adolescents.
Currently in the U.S., less than 40
percent of adolescent girls -- and 14 percent of adolescent boys -- get all three
required doses of the HPV vaccine.
The HPV vaccine is safe and effective,
but very few adolescents have received
the vaccination to prevent these serious
diseases that HPV causes, McLean said.
What we learn from this project may
inform how other health care systems
can reduce the burden of HPV infection
in the patient populations they serve,
which could eventually help decrease the
rates of some cancers.
To learn more about HPV, including
symptoms and prevention measures such
as the HPV vaccine, visit the CDCs fact
sheet at www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfacthpv.htm.

In Loving Memory of
Gwen Pigott ~ From
all the lives she touched
through the years
There are so many lives she touched in a positive way,

So many memories that bring a smile and show the wonderful person she was,
So many stories about how she made a difference or made someones day.
Some people make a difference just by being who they are.
Their inner light shines bright and touches lives both near and far.
And even though theyve gone, they still forever play a part,
In the smiles, the priceless moments, that are treasured in the heart.

PAID OBITUARY
Donald O. Cole, 89, Marshfield,

formerly of Loyal, passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2015, at Ministry Saint Joseph's
Hospital in Marshfield. Funeral services
were held at 11 a.m., on Monday, Jan. 12, at St.
Anthony Catholic Church in Loyal. Rev. Steve
Brice officiated. Pallbearers were his grandsons:
Steven Schwarze, Jeffrey Schwarze, Richard
Schwarze, Scott Krause, Nicholas Armstrong, Robert
Cole, Gregory Cole, Kyle Bero and Colton Tarter. Burial
will take place in St. Anthony Catholic Cemetery at a
later date. Military rites were conducted by the Loyal
American Legion Post #175.
Donald Orin Cole was born on March 7, 1925, in the town of Fremont, rural
Chili, the son of Harry and Ernestine (nee Beilke) Cole. He was raised on the family
farm and received his education in rural schools, and graduated from Loyal High
School in 1943. Following graduation from high school, Donald joined the U.S. Air
Force, and after months of training, he was stationed in the South Pacific as an
assistant flight engineer on a B-29 bomber, which was part of the 509th atom bomb
group and the 393rd squadron. He married Jeanette Catherine Beaver on Feb. 18,
1946, at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Loyal. Donald returned from the war and
worked for Roddis Plywood in Marshfield, the Loyal Canning Company, and was a
parts man for Braun Auto in Loyal. In 1950, he and his wife, Jeanette, purchased a
dairy farm south of Loyal, where they worked and raised their family for 28 years.
In 1976, they purchased the former Citizens State Bank building and the inventory
of Helen's Style Shop, and started their own business, Jeanette's Fashions. In 1978,
they sold their farm to their son and daughter-in-law, David and Kristi. Donald then
worked five years patroling for the Loyal township, and also drove school bus part
time. In 2006, they moved to Marshfield. He was a member of St. Anthony Catholic
Church; a member of the Loyal American Legion Post #175, where he was a past
commander and adjutant; a member of the 40 et 8 Voiture locale #821; and an
honorary life member of the Knights of Columbus Our Lady of Fatima Council
#4963.Donald had many interests, but especially loved fishing, hunting, golfing,
horseshoes, shooting pool and playing cards.
He will be sadly missed by his wife, Jeanette, Marshfield; six children, William
(Beth) Cole, Orange Park, Fla., Nancy (Larry) Krause, Summit Lake, Debra (Steven)
Armstrong, Chippewa Falls, David (Kristi) Cole, Marshfield, Barbara (Michael)
Bero, Green Bay, and Sandra (David) Tarter, Menomonie; 16 grandchildren, Heidi

Schwarze, Scott Krause, Nicholas Armstrong, Kelly Armstrong, Alicia Cole, Robert
Cole, Gregory Cole, Kyle Bero, Cassilyn Bero, Alexis Tarter and Colton Tarter; fifteen great-grandchildren; one sister, Marian Meissner, Sturgeon Bay; and nieces,
nephews, other relatives and friends.
Donald was preceded in death by his parents; one daughter, Karen Schwarze in
1997; and one brother, Glenn H. Cole.

cer tracks, and the Wisconsin Department
of Transportation.
That was late in 2013, and Spencer was
given a list of tasks to fulfill application
requirements. It had to conduct traffic
counts at each of the four crossings in the
village, file a notice of intent to proceed
with a designation, and seek public comment. That led to a quiet zone application
being filed on Aug. 26, 2014.
Schafer said he still wasnt sure of
Spencers chances to get a quiet zone listing. By law -- for obvious safety reasons
-- train operators are required to sound
whistles anytime they approach a road
crossing. In the Spencer village, that
means four separate soundings -- at Willow Drive, Clark Street, Main Street, and
N. La Salle St. With such a short span in
between those crossings, Schafer said
some conductors simply seemed to lay
on the horn for one long continuous blow
until they were through the village. That,
he said, has hurt the quality of life for
Spencer residents, and hes heard plenty
about it. One co-worker Schafer thought
was going to relocate to the village told
him, Theres no way Im gonna live in
Spencer with those trains.
Kubisiak said its impossible to put a
number to it, but anecdotal evidence from
conversations hes had with folks shows
they are put off by the train noise.
It is a fact that people have made comments that they wont move back or wont
buy a home because of the train whistles,
Kubisiak said. A day doesnt go by that
someone isnt commenting about the train
whistles.
Even though Spencers application was
fairly simple, Kubisiak and Schafer were
still surprised on Dec. 18 to get the FRA letter approving the quiet zone application,
with stipulations.
The village is already taking care of one
of those requirements -- closing down the
Main Street crossing of the rail line. Main

Street -- one block north of the downtown
Clark Street business area -- only has
about 120 vehicles crossing the tracks on
an average day, so cutting off its access to
the line will eliminate one potential accident site without significantly affecting
traffic. Canadian National is giving the
village $25,000 to close that crossing and
the state DOT is matching it with $7,500.
Another requirement for the village is
to install a 100-foot median strip down the
center of N. La Salle Steet, on the north
and south sides of the rail crossing. The
3-foot wide, 6-high strip will prevent cars
from crossing lanes to get around crossing
arms and creating an accident situation.
Kubisiak said estimates for the work are
at $60,000, with the job to be bid soon and
completion planned for early summer.
A major help to the villages application
was the improvements made to the Willow
Street crossing during the 2013 Highway
13 upgrade. The old crossing would have
presented safety challenges for the quiet
zone, and might even have rendered it
too costly.
It would have been difficult, without
that work being done by the DOT. It kept
the whole (quiet zone) process very affordable, Schafer said.
Schafer and Kubisiak expect everything to be in place by June or early July,
the possible time when trains will stop
blaring whistles every time they pass
through. The quiet zone will also require
the trains to slow to 35 mph in the village,
to mitigate any increased safety concerns
resulting from their quiet approach.
A conductor will still be allowed to lay
on his horn if he sees a vehicle near the
tracks or another safety concern, Kubisiak said, so an occasional whistle may
still be heard. The quiet zone also does
not apply to the seldom used slow line
that diverts some small trains along the
northernmost track on La Salle St.

Kubisiak has one piece of advise for
residents hardly waiting for the quiet
to arrive. That tip is to continue to drive
safely near the tracks, because an accident
or two could lead to the quiet zone being
taken away.
This isnt necessarily permanent.
If there is an accident we risk the opportunity of continuing the quiet zone,
Kubisiak said. I think everybody in town
does a fantastic job of obeying the train.

Bowling event to raise funds

for military working dog tribute
handlers.
The Military Working Dog Tribute honors Military Working Dogs (MWDs) and
their handlers from all eras. The idea for
the tribute was initially presented to The
Highground by a group including Vietnam
veteran, David Backstrom of Eau Claire.
They wanted to honor MWDs and handlers such as Vietnam Scout Dog handler,
Erling Anderson of Eau Claire. Erling
was killed in action on June 22, 1967. His
MWD, Satan, survived and went on to have
two other handlers. The Scout Dog served
in Vietnam from 1966 to his death of disease in Vietnam in 1969. Satan is credited
with discovering a vast Viet Cong tunnel
system. Military Working Dogs have been
serving the U.S. military from WWI to
present day. It is often said that one dog
and handler team is responsible for saving
the lives of 150-200 personnel. This tribute
will serve as a place to honor the service
of these canines and their handlers.

Christmas and New Years Day have come and gone for another year.
Its very, very cold outside, but its time to take down the Christmas trees
at the Historical Society site. This was another year of beautiful, colorful
trees decorating our way in and out of Loyal on Highway 13 towards
Spencer.
When all is said and done, its time to say thank you to everyone who
had time to come and visit with Santa, have a ride through the countryside
on a hay wagon, have cocoa or apple cider and, of course, some cookies.
The ceremony at the Memory Tree was very nice but the crowd was small
-- I think by then we were all very cold or exhausted. And thank you from
all of us who enjoy seeing the trees every year.
We will miss our friends, Darlene and Bob Langfeldt, who did so much
for the Historical Society.
As soon as you can face the cold weather, please get your decorations
off the trees -- its time to move on ...
The Knacks had a great Christmas, and I hope you all did, too.
Now its time to get down to the present -- our January meeting will
be on the 22nd of January, at 2 p.m., at Loyal City Hall. All members are
urged to come, and non-members are welcome, too. We have to discuss
some things for 2015 -- fundraisers, paying our loan, etc.
Thanks to those of you who made Christmas donations to us -- donations
are welcome at any time. And if you havent paid your dues for 2015, now
is the time to do that. Theyre still $10 for a single or $15 for a couple. Im
not sure who our temporary treasurer is, however, dues and donations
can be sent to Diana Schuette, or bring them to the meeting on Jan. 22.
Thats all for now! Hope to see you on Jan. 22, at 2 p.m., at City Hall.
Thanks for reading ...
Happy 18th Birthday, Kaitlin!

Scholarships are out there; seniors have to go get them

There are many ways that todays
students can find and apply for scholarships. The seniors met with Mrs. Scherer,
the K-12 school counselor on Jan. 12, to
discuss these, and other options:
-- The most convenient option for
checking on available scholarships is for
seniors to check the online link on Loyals
Web site. From Loyals Web site (www.
loyal.k12.wi.us) seniors should select the
junior/senior HS menu. From that menu,
find guidance. Once on the guidance
pages, select the scholarship link that
is on the right-hand side of the screen.
The list on the site is updated whenever
new scholarships are sent to Loyal. Many
scholarships are linked directly to their
online applications.
-- Another avenue for finding scholarships is for students to check with their
universities or technical colleges to find
out what types of scholarships may be
available. A student must have applied
and be accepted to his/her college/university before being able to apply for these
scholarships.
-- A third option for seniors is to use
online scholarship sites -- seniors are
cautioned to be careful, however, as there
are sites that try to scam students and
parents out of money. You should NEVER
have to pay for scholarships or scholarship searches.
-- Finally, Loyal seniors can complete a
Community Scholarship Application,
which was offered to them on Jan. 12. If
students wish, their Community Scholarship Applications are duplicated and
given to more than 30 local scholarship
providers.
All seniors who receive scholarships,
and notify the school counselor about
these scholarships, will be recognized at
the senior dedication in May.
New technical excellence
scholarship
The graduating class of 2015 will be the
first class eligible for the new Technical

Excellence Scholarship, which will be
awarded to Wisconsin high school seniors
who have the highest demonstrated level
of proficiency in technical education subjects. This scholarship is being provided
by the State of Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board, who also provides
the Academic Excellence Scholarship.
One Loyal High School senior will be
awarded this $2,250 per year scholarship.
To be eligible, the applicant must have
applied, been accepted, and then enroll
in a program at a participating Wisconsin Technical College in the state. Loyal
students were provided information on
this new scholarship on Jan. 12.
Financial aid
Students that enroll in a university
or technical college may be eligible for
financial aid. To be considered for most
of the federal student aid programs, a
student must complete and submit the
Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) once per year (after JAN.
1) that he/she is enrolled in a university
or technical college.
Students/parents must have completed
their tax forms before they are able to
complete the FAFSA. To assist you as you
begin traveling down the financial aid
road, please consider the following:
-- FAFSA4caster is a free online tool to
provide students with early estimates of
their eligibility for federal student aid.
The FAFSA4caster is NOT an application
for financial aid -- it is just a predictor that
can be used at any time. The FAFSA4caster can be accessed at https://fafsa.ed.gof/
FAFSA/app/f4cForm?execution=e1s1.
-- Every student that plans to complete
the FAFSA must apply for a PIN number
(an electronic password.) Parents must
also apply for a PIN number. These PIN
numbers can be used to sign the FAFSA
electronically, drastically decreasing the
processing time. PIN numbers can be
obtained before beginning the FAFSA,

or will be assigned once students begin
working on the FAFSA. If you wish to
obtain passwords prior to beginning the
FAFSA, you can do so at www.pin.ed.gov.
-- To complete the FAFSA (after JAN. 1
and after tax forms are completed), go to
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
To further assist Loyal seniors and
their parents through the financial aid
process, Ellen Kreger, college access advisor from Great Lakes Higher Education,
will be at Loyal on Feb. 4, 2015, from 6:30
p.m.-7:30 p.m., in the High School LMC.
Bookworm Bash
Title 1 hosted a Bookworm Bash for the students and parents of Loyal
Elementary School on Nov. 13, 2014. One of the activities was a Gummy
Worm Stretch. The winners were Haven Peroshek, Jakob Luchterhand,
David Nikolai, Maci Bogdonovich, Melanie Gessert, Ethan Lindner, and Gianna
Petkovsek. Each of the winners received a free book.

Loyal students sign their contracts at the Wonka Factory.
Fifth grade visits

the Wonka Factory
By Sandy Haselow and Lori Rentmeester
On Dec. 19, the fifth grade took a trip to Willie Wonkas
factory. They watched the movie Willie Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory. During the movie the students
completed activities that correlated with the movie. They
also discussed the differences between the two Wonka
movies and the book.
In order to enter the factory, each student had to find a
golden ticket and sign the contract. They were intrigued
with the mystery man who appeared every time someone
found a golden ticket. The students debated who he was
and had fun predicting what was going to happen next.
The students enjoyed Fizzy Lifting Drinks, Everlasting Gobstoppers, juicing Violet Beauregarde (popping
balloons), the chocolate river and shrinking a chocolate
bar. In the end, everyone won the grand prize of a lifetime
supply of chocolate.

Loyal kindergarten students spent the month of December

learning about how Christmas is celebrated around the

Life Skills class learning to help others

by Laurie Curtis and Esther Hopfensperger
The students in the Life Skills class have been learning
a variety of skills during the first semester of school. The
biggest project they have accomplished was their service
project, wanting to learn a new skill as well as do something nice for others. The students learned how to make
fleece tie blankets and made four to give away. They made
one to give to a classroom in the elementary school, and
three to give to residents of Clark County Health Care
Center in Owen. We contacted Mary Darnell, the director
of Activity Therapy Volunteer Coordinator and arranged
a field trip to deliver the blankets to their recipients. With
the help of Mary Darnell and Kay Boening, the activity
therapist, our students were able to surprise the residents
with the blankets. They all seemed to be pleased with the
blankets, and the students were touched that they were
so obviously appreciated. For some of our students it is
the first volunteer project they have ever done and felt for
the first time how rewarding it is to give of themselves
for someone else.
In addition to the service project, the students spent
several weeks learning about employability skills. The
students used the Wisconsin Careers Web site to complete
inventories about their interests and skills, then looking
at careers that would suit them. They also worked on how
to complete a job application, how to create a resume, tips
and practice with interviewing skills. Dave Mayville of
Mayvilles Market spoke with the class giving them some
very valuable advice about job expectations and skills
that employers are looking for when they hire someone
to work for their business.
The class has also been learning some basic cooking
skills, comparison shopping skills, how to organize and
clean a kitchen to keep it as sanitary as possible. They
Walk Like an Egyptian
Sixth grade students had the opportunity

to study the civilizations of early Egypt
during their Social Studies class. Students
were asked as an end of a unit project
to construct a model of a true, step
or bent pyramid. They could use any
medium to build their pyramid with and
have it be put on display and shared
with fellow classmates. Some of the
choices of materials that students used
consisted of marshmallows, wood, sugar
cubes, popsicles sticks, sponges or clay.
Students also wrote up descriptions
of their pyramid models to share the
knowledge that they gained from the unit.
Super job, sixth graders!
Make a Ten
strategy
The first graders in Ms. Stelzers class
are busy learning the Make a Ten strategy to add and to subtract. In reading,
the students have improved their fluency
since the beginning of the school year.
Reading in longer phrases and with good
expression is something that the students
are working on.
Students in the Life Skills class bring blankets they made as a service
project to residents at Clark County Health Care Center. Pictured are:
Art Olsen, Jean Gardner, and Sue Fox from Clark County Health Care
Center; Junitta Nikolai, support staff; students Jessica Schill, Tyler

spent several days preparing foods for the holidays and discussing family
traditions noting how everyones family had some similarities, but also
how they each had traditions specific to their own family. The students
have also learned how to do laundry and care for clothing, and how to
sew on buttons.
The next big units for them will be learning about living within a
budget and finding housing.

HMR diet offered at Marshfield Clinic ranked second in

U.S. News & World Reports Best Weight-loss Diets of 2015
MARSHFIELD -- A program offered by Marshfield Clinic
and created by HMR Weight Management Services (HMR)
recently was named the No. 2 best weight-loss diet in U.S.
News & World Reports Best Diets of 2015.
The ranking was based on both short and long-term
weight-loss ratings of the HMR Program.
HMRs programs focus on integrating diet, physical
activity and healthy lifestyle skills through weekly coaching. This is the first time that HMRs diet program has been
included in the annual rankings list. HMR was evaluated
against 34 other diets in categories including easiness to
follow, ability to produce short and long-term weight loss,
nutritional completeness, safety, and potential to prevent
and manage diabetes and heart disease.
During the ranking process, U.S. News & World Report
editors and reporters created in-depth profiles of each diet,
and a panel of nationally recognized experts on diet, nutrition, obesity, food psychology, diabetes and heart disease
rated the diets and their effectiveness.
Marshfield Clinic has offered the HMR program since
1987 to community members who are interested in losing
weight.
We are pleased that HMRs weight-loss program, which
we offer at Marshfield Clinics Wausau and Minocqua centers, has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as
one of the most effective diets for weight loss, said Mindy
Arndt, a Marshfield Clinic health educator who works with
the HMR program. The program is effective at helping our
patients achieve weight loss, which can result in improvement in risk factors for the development of conditions
such as diabetes and high blood pressure. The weight loss
may also lead to a decrease in the need for medications for
some individuals who have developed these conditions.
Nationally, the HMR program is available in hospitals
and medical centers or can be used by participants at home.
Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the HMR
program in supporting weight loss. Research shows 47
pounds average weight loss for a mix of HMR Decision-Free
and Healthy Solutions clinic patients with a BMI of 40 or
greater, who completed the program for at least 12 weeks.
To learn more about Marshfield Clinics HMR program,

MADISON -- A California apple packing plant has been

identified as the likely source of contamination in caramel apples that led to a multi-state outbreak of listeriosis,
according to food safety officials at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
(DATCP). To date, 32 outbreak-related illnesses including six deaths have been reported among residents of 11
states. Three illnesses have been reported in Wisconsin.
Bidart Bros. of Bakersfield, Calif., is voluntarily recalling whole, fresh Gala and Granny Smith variety apples
shipped in 2014. Some of the apples recalled may be sold
under the brand names Big B and Grannys Best,
though they could also be sold under other brand names
or with no brand at all.
Based on available information, consumers should
dispose of any Gala and Granny Smith apples known to
have been packed by Bidart Bros. If this information isnt
easily determined, consumers should ask the retailer if
the apples they purchased were from Bidart Bros. Since

some of the implicated apples were further processed
into caramel apples, food safety officials recommend that
consumers also continue to dispose of commerciallyproduced, pre-packaged caramel apples.
Numerous agencies nationwide, including FDA,
DATCP and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, continue to investigate this outbreak. Additional
information will be provided as it becomes available.
Listeriosis is a life-threatening infection caused by
eating food contaminated with the bacterium Listeria
monocytogenes. It is particularly dangerous for pregnant
women and their newborns, young children, frail or
elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons with listeriosis often experience
diarrhea and fever. Persons who believe they may have
become ill with listeriosis should contact their health
care provider.

To have any hope of running the table in a 16-game

conference basketball season, or even competing for
the league title, a team has to expect to overcome some
periods when not everything goes as planned. Spencer
met one of those moments in the third quarter of a Jan.
9 home game against Colby, overcame it, and went on to
score a 69-58 win to remain unbeaten in Eastern Cloverbelt Conference play.
The Rockets were coming off a disappointing Jan. 3
1-point loss to highly-regarded non-conference opponent

steal, Mercier swiped a pass on the wing and took it all
the way to the rack for a score with two seconds to go.
Spencer looked to be in good position in the third
period when Susa nailed another 3-pointer from the
corner to put the Rockets up 32-28. Again, the bottom fell
momentarily out, as Colby reeled off an 11-0 run over a
2:16 span to seize a 39-32 lead.
Spencer head coach Randy Reckner chose not to opt
for a time-out and allowed his players to recover. Mercier
started the rally with a 3-pointer and Calvin Lenz got
three more back on a driving score, a foul and a free throw.
Bobby Pilz was fouled on a post-up move and hit both free
throws, and then capped a return 11-0 run for the Rockets
on a 3-pointer with 46 seconds to go in the third period.
Ty Raatz canned his fourth 3-pointer of the game early
in the fourth quarter to erase the Rocket lead and tie the
score at 47. Spencer then moved for the jugular, splicing
together a 10-0 run over a span of 3:07, starting with a Pilz
hoop on an in-bounds play. Lenz collected another 3-point
play for Spencer when he pump-faked at the elbow, drove
past a defender, scored and drew a foul. Pilz hit another
free throw with 5:12 to go and scored on a low post turnaround move on the next possession. After consecutive
passing turnovers from Colby, Pilz closed the 10-0 blitz
with two bonus free throws.
Colby could not get the lead under seven the rest of

The Spencer girls basketball teams main obstacle this
year has been finding offense, and Neillsvilles ability to
defend made that task all but impossible in a Jan. 8 Eastern Cloverbelt Conference game at Spencer. Neillsville
stayed within a half-game of Loyal for the league lead
with a 40-14 win.
The Rockets put up only six points in the first half
and trailed by 18 at the break. The Rocket defense kept
the final score respectable, but the offensive couldnt find
any ways to make the game close.

Missy Benz had 10 points and seven rebounds. Morgan
Reinwand had nine points and six rebounds, while Devyn
Schoonover contributed five points, six assists and four
steals.
Tim Bauer won the 132-pound weight title and

Zach Schneider and Hunter Luepke each wrestled to
third-place finishes as the Spencer Rockets fought to
a fifth-place finish in the 24-team Bluejay Challenge
held Jan. 10 in Merrill.
With wrestlers filling 12 of 14 divisions and five
individuals able to take fifth or better in his weight
class, the Rockets got a strong team performance to
score 350.5 points to miss fourth place by a half-point.
Wittenberg Birnamwood won the team title with 432
points, Merrill was second with 391, Southern Door
took third with 373.5, and Tomahawk barely edged
Spencer for fourth.
Bauer improved his season record to 17-8 by mastering the 132-pound class. He got a first-round bye and
then pinned Southern Doors Tyler Kelly (3-2) in 3:20.
Next up was Frank Scandin (12-10) of Lakeland, and
Bauer turned him back on a 6-2 decision. In the semis,
Bauer handled Scout Wunder (11-6) of Escanaba, Mich.
on a 7-2 decision. In the finals, he scored a 5-4 decision
over Zach Urquhart (18-8) of Wittenberg-Birnamwood.
At 170 pounds, Schneider (20-8) took a first-round
bye, then opened action with pin of Barrons Derek
Wohlk (5-12) in 3:51. He moved on again by pinning
Southern Doors Zach Marchant (18-11) in 3:48. Schneider then lost a 20-8 major decision to undefeated Mason
Reinhardt (23-0) of Merrill, but rebounded for 3-1 decision over Tomahawks Slade Erdman (23-5).
The freshman Luepke (24-3) took much the same
path as Schneider to third place at 182 pounds. After
a bye, he pinned Tri-Countys Jacaup Podoll (3-4) in
52 seconds, and then did the same to Riley Kurtz (9-13)
of Merrill in 2:51. In the semis, Luepke was pinned in
1:51 by Rylan Burrows (12-3) of Adams-Friendship.
Like Schneider, he came back for a third-place match
victory, a 5-3 win over Tory Jandrin (24-8) of Southern
Door.
Spencer also got fourth-place finishes from Austin

Post at 126 pounds and Daniel Wilke at 138.
After a bye, Post (12-7) won by technical fall over
Eric Buechner (6-9) of Tri-County. He then took a 10-5
decision over Lucas King (9-11) of Waukesha West,
before being pinned in 1:54 by Elton Kelsey (22-1)
of Oconto in the semis. Post then was pinned in the
third-place match, in 3:16, by Gavin Czerwonka (24-6)
of Wittenberg-Birnamwood.
Wilke (23-5) started his day by pinning Ocontos
Bryce OConnor (2-3) in 3:23 and doing the same, in
just 55 seconds, to Migule Velaquez (3-15) of AlmondBancroft. He advanced to the semis with an 8-2 decision
over Zac Higgins (17-4) of Crandon. Wilke then ran
into trouble, losing by technical fall to Merrills Scott
Arneson (23-1) and getting pinned in 3:12 by Southern
Doors Michael Bertrand (28-3).
Nathan Neumann added more important team
points for Spencer with a fifth-place day at 145 pounds.
After a bye, Neumann (16-12) beat Lakelands Jared
Bruguier (11-15) on a 7-2 decision. He then lost a 10-1
major decision to Shane Gantz (15-5) of Waukesha
West, but recovered nicely to take a 6-1 win over Green
Bay Preble/Easts Joel Vaigas (8-9) and a 6-1 win over

There's just no way I'll be taken to Taken

I'm about to pen a review of a movie I have
not seen. No, it will not be accurate, fully factbased or even sincere, but I'm laying odds I
can score points for snarkiness, over-the-top
unsubstantiated criticism, and -- no promises
-- a never-before-revealed personal secret of
the second gaffer's awkward relationship with
his neighbor's iguana. Oh, yeah, that's what you
pay for, you know it.
The movie I did not see, by conspicuous
choice, even though I was invited-- her treat,
no less -- was Taken 3, starring Liam Neeson as
a man who so loves his daughter that he'll not
only kill bad guys to protect her, but will scratch
the covers of their expensive iPads. No, really,
I saw it happen in Taken and Taken 2, before
the coma took effect midway through each of
them. Let's see, 87 smashed cars, 21 dead dudes,
lots of shattered plate glass and the open-mouth
chewer parked right behind me in the theater
even though there are 80 other empty seats ain't
even started on his Milk Duds yet. Now that's
entertainment.
To prove my less-than-toxic bias against Taken 3, I'll tell you that I adore Liam Neeson. His
performance as the Jewish savior in "Schindler's
List" was the best cinematic performance in
history, of course until Kevin James broke all
the models with "Paul Blart: Mall Cop." OMG,
that scene when he dives on the waxed mall
floor to slide behind some fake shrubbery, but
is so big he just plops in place instead of moving, precious. Goosebump stuff. Probably floor
rash, too, but the great ones don't even flinch.
I have a special affinity for Mr. Neeson, also,
because a pair of professional actors I was once
speaking with looked at each at the same time,
shared a mental bridge, and one asked the other,
"Who does his voice sound like?" Meaning
mine. "Oh, Liam Neeson, definitely," the other
fellow said, thus cementing me and Liam in a

spiritually unbreakable bond, although I've been
advised repeatedly by his security people that my
legs are quite breakable. OK, I admire at a distance.
But not from the theatre seats, because I
heretofore decline to pay $9 to watch a third
installment of a movie franchise that was pass
after its first trailers were played. That was in
2008, by the way, just so there is a verifiable fact
in here somewhere. You know how it, no facts, no
consideration for the Pulitzers.
As the hype for Taken 3 was building this fall,
I refreshed myself with the habits of one Bryan
Mills, the ex-government operative who possesses
"a certain set of skills" that he will use in the name
of justice, or with the first movie, to slaughter as
many French and Algerian men with guns as is
legally allowed in a 93-minute run time (yeah,
check it out, I'll wait). I watched both Taken and
Taken 2 in a week's time, and three nights later
not only dreamed that I had personally killed a
ring of Spanish human traffickers, but may have
found the bloody evidence to prove it. Yeah, lucky
it was just a little cut on my cuticle from the foil
wrapper on a pudding cup. Look, I'm telling you,
me and Liam are tight.
Quite honestly -- which are two words that
writers use when they actually mean "Who would
believe this crap?" -- I absolutely intended to see
Taken 3, that is, until I saw Taken and Taken 2. I
thought, just maybe, in another hour and a half, I
could determine how Bryan Mills can get shot at
more than 400 times from ranges between 3 and
15 feet, and never even get grazed. I wanted to
know how he can sucker punch dozens of thickcraniumed Algerians and never once shake his
hand and say, "Ouch," like I did when I cut my
cuticle on the pudding cup foil wrapper. And I
also hoped that one final installment of the Taken
series would explain once and for all just how
THE
BORN
LESAR
by TRG Editor Dean Lesar
criminally stupid Bryan Mills' daughter and exwife are for constantly getting "taken" so he has
to fly to Europe and spread unchecked carnage
until they're all back at the airport hugging and
smiling as if the French government is pleased
that its morgues are about 130 body bags short. I
mean, can't those two chicks just stay home and
bake cookies once in a while?
After reviewing the exhausting violence and
sheer butchery of Liam's "work," I must say I was
a bit disappointed in him. He has spent much
of the last six years making these movies, and
reportedly is being paid more than $20 million
for this sequel alone, which I suppose is decent
grub if you're in that line of work. The problem
for me is that Neeson is now 62 years old, with a
limited career yet to come, and should be using his
"special set of skills" as an actor and a human to
make important movies like "Schindler's List," not
something upon which a macabre video game will
be fashioned. Oh, yeah, I've sent wires to Liam's
people, asking again about that possible starring
role in "Not Ready to Play with the other Kids:
The Dean Lesar Story." I mean, c'mon, we have
the same voice tonal qualities. I'm sure he could
capture me with a little study.
I just checked and found that Taken 3 took
in $39.2 million in its first weekend of

release, not the $39,200,009 it would
have grossed had I not elected to make
a stand. And, as much as I hate to do
this to my old pal, but after all, this is a
critical review, I can only give the latest
Taken project 3 1/16 stars on a scale, of
7 7/8. Yeah, the scoring's pretty technical, we'll just say it has post-production
flaws, cinematography weaknesses, and
blatant product placement (OK, how
many times can a character say Kalashnikov already?"
Well, there it is, a stunningly low
rating from one of the country's premier upand-coming critics, and all without breaking any
terms of my court injunction to stay at least 896
kilometers from Mr. Neeson (metric babble, I
mean, how many miles is that anyway?)
I didn't really want to do this, but then, I was
pushed to the brink by too much violence, too
much rage, and the personal responsibility to
change the ways of Hollywood before it starts
making even more movies by Tyler Perry (on
second thought, maybe gruesome killing and
planetary chaos ain't so bad.)
Just be advised, the same thing will happen
when Taken 4 comes out, and Taken 5, and Taken
27, when Bryan Mills hops a stray satellite to get
to Saturn because his daughter has been taken
there by higher life forms who just want to eliminate her so all this madness can end.
As in Mr. Mills' most famous line of the
movie, when he tells the bad guys "Good luck"
before he starts to extract their throats with his
coffee spoon, here's hoping for the good fortune
of no more Taken flicks.
By the way, you think the gal who wanted to
take me to Taken 3 would just give me the nine
bucks and call it even? Is it rude to ask?
Wisconsin will work with Kentucky to brink more elk here

In collaboration with Kentucky Fish
and Wildlife Resources and a number of
stakeholder groups, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has finalized
an agreement that will help bolster Wisconsins elk population, Governor Scott
Walkers office announced last week.
This is the next step in re-establishing
the elk population in Wisconsin, Governor Walker said. Elk were once common
here, and we want that again. A healthy
and thriving elk herd is a benefit to the
state, increasing tourism in northern and
central Wisconsin, where a limited herd is
already a draw for elk viewing.
We are so excited to be working with
Kentucky, and so thankful for the commitment to success by our many partners,
said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp. We
have an incredible opportunity to help
Wisconsins elk herd flourish.
According to DNR big game ecologist
Kevin Wallenfang, Wisconsin elk were
first introduced to the Clam Lake area in
1995 as a gift from the state of Michigan,
but only as an experimental herd. Since
then, the herd has grown to approximately
160 animals. This new effort will add elk
to the existing herd, as well as start a new
herd in Jackson County.
Beginning this month, wild elk will be
trapped in Kentucky and tested for disease
before being transported to Wisconsin
later this spring.
The value of great partners cannot
be overstated, said Al Jacobson, a Wisconsin Conservation Congress delegate
and Jackson County Wildlife Fund board
member who has been hoping to see elk in
their county for over a decade. Thanks to
the combined efforts of several partners,
the dream of a generation will finally be
fulfilled for the people of Jackson County.

Wisconsin and Kentucky will work cooperatively in this effort, and Wisconsin
DNR staff is assisting with trapping and
disease testing efforts in Kentucky, as
well as providing for animal caretaking
while held in quarantine. In exchange,
Wisconsin will assist Kentucky financially
in the development of habitat projects in
Kentucky that will benefit wildlife, with a
special emphasis placed on ruffed grouse.
Theres so much excitement and hard
work wrapped up in this project, said
Karen Sexton, wildlife biologist for the
Ho-Chunk Nation Department of Natural Resources, who are among the many
partners working on this effort. When I
reflect upon it all, I immediately see how
each partner is so committed to complete
it together -- strength among partners
is one of the most unique and thrilling
aspects of the project.
Bringing additional elk into the state
will create an opportunity to promote
population growth of a species native to
Wisconsin for current and future generations, while also providing for recreational opportunities through viewing
and hunting for Wisconsin citizens and
tourists from other states. The Jackson
County herds proximity to Madison and
Minneapolis is expected to be a boon for
the local and regional economies.
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
continues to be a very active partner in
elk reintroduction efforts throughout the
country, and regional representative Kurt
Flack says they are proud to continue
their long-standing support in Wisconsin.
This project is an important next step
toward Wisconsins efforts to have a thriving elk population that can be enjoyed by
all, said Flack. Were thrilled things are

finally moving forward.
Funding for Wisconsins elk translocation efforts is a result of partnerships
with stakeholder groups, and the depart-
ment has committed to using only funds

received from partner groups.

Spencer adopts economic

growth partnership resolution
Endorsing the idea of working collaboratively with Governor Scott Walker and
the Legislature, the Spencer Village Board
adopted Resolution 2015-01 Partnership
for Prosperity: An Agenda for a Competitive 21st Century Wisconsin at its regular
Board meeting on Jan. 5.
This resolution emphasizes the importance that Wisconsins cities and villages
play as the foundation of Wisconsins
economy. Seventy percent of Wisconsinites live in cities and villages and its
where 87 percent of all manufacturing
and 89 percent of all commercial property
is located.
The Village works every day, not
only to provide basic services, but also to
capitalize on what makes our community
unique and provide for economic growth,
said Thaddeus Kubisiak, administrator/
clerk/treasurer. The Spencer Business
Park has been our focus and it has already
brought a larger tax base to the Village.
Were proud of what weve accomplished
as a community.
The Leagues Partnership for Prosperity legislative agenda recognizes that
thriving municipalities are critical to a
successful state economy and calls for a
new state-local partnership to drive the
states economy forward and spur job
creation by:
1.) Helping communities continue to
provide quality local services while holding the line on property taxes.
2.) Investing in local transportation
infrastructure.
3.) Enhancing and promoting economic
development best practices, like the expansion of the historic tax credit that was
accomplished in the 2013-14 legislative
session.
By supporting a communitys ability
to attract and retain talent and enterprise
and spur job creation, state leaders will
help the whole state thrive, said Kubisiak.
The resolution, adopted by the Spencer
Village Board, is based on a League of
Wisconsin Municipalities model being adopted by cities and villages statewide. The
Village is a League member. The League
is a nonpartisan statewide organization
which advocates for Wisconsins cities and
villages. It was founded in 1898.

Mississippi River Gator Hunt

Hello friends,
Here is the scoop. Last September I am hunting ducks on the Mississippi River near Ferryville with my 13-year-old daughter, Selina, and 21
and 23-year-old stepsons, Joey and Travis Dushek. We find an area that
I am sure would be a good spot to ice fish, the only problem is that it is
three miles by whatever means of travel you choose to reach it.
This past week the four of us, Fire, our very pregnant golden retriever
(due on the 11th) go on one heck of an adventure on the Mississippi River.
My nine-foot enclosed trailer is loaded with my Polaris, four-wheeler
and a lot of gear. The bed of my truck is so full of gear we can hardly
close the end gate.
On top of my topper are four otter sleds.
Friday, Jan. 2 -- high 36, low 29
Once again this week there is way more story then I have space to
write it. First, our gang stops at Ace Hardware in La Crosse where we
purchase $60 worth of shiners (this is a gator hunt).
Second, we head south on Highway 35 and a dark cloud hits us like a
wet blanket. Much of the river and backwaters is open. It is 2 p.m. and we
do not have the daylight hours, to lose many daylight hours. We make it
to Ferryville and there is open water at the landing. Without hesitation,
we head north and the boys are bummed, there is no doubt I have to pull
a rabbit out of the hat to save this adventure.
I have a brainstorm; I spoke with two fishermen in Ace Hardware
who told me that they had done very well fishing and catching 27-35 inch
northern pike on a backwater of the Mississippi right in La Crosse. Joey
looks on my receipt and there is the magic number, I call Ace, get directions and an excellent report.
Third, here is where things got a little crazy; our plan is to sleep in
my Eskimo Fat Shack and my trailer. No one on the ice is on a fourwheeler and there is a question as to whether or not we can legally run
a four-wheeler to our new honey hole and the other question is, what is
the quality of the ice? Trav goes on a quick recon mission, the rest of us
unload seven tons of gear.
Trav comes back with good news and I take the first load out via fourwheeler and otter sled. Lots of what the heck looks. Next we hook up
the trailer and really get some looks but we have an hour of daylight and
we are on the ice.
No fish today, fine home cooked meal of spaghetti and as always lots
of laughter.
Saturday, Jan. 3 -- high 37, low 28
A truly incredible day would best describe today. Early in the morning my buddy Gary Howe, out of Prairie du Chien, joins us for the day
and all told we have 15 tip ups out on top of 20 to 30 feet of water with
the shiners six feet below the ice. The flags are flying and lots of gators
are hitting the ice by our gang and many other people. Almost all of our
fish are between 27-35 inches.
There is just enough snow on the ice that it is as slippery as it could
possible be. Gary Howe is going for a gaff cuz Joey is fighting a big fish.
Garys feet go out from underneath him and he takes quite possibly the
worst fall I have ever seen on the ice and lands on the back of his head.
At first, my buddy isnt moving or talking. Then he quivers and tells me
its bad. Long story short, 20 minutes later he ices a 34-inch gator and
by the end of the day we have kept 12 gators that averaged 31 inches.
Selina cooked scrambled eggs with ham. Travis cooked brats. Joey
cooked venison. When the boys were growing up they quickly learned
that they needed to help with the chores and they always have. At 10:30
that night, Selina and I each had a flag and put two more in the livewell.
Later in the evening the cold spell that gripped the northern hemisphere hit our camp and it was nasty with a capital N. Though the fish
were still hungry the next morning it was a lesson in pure focus just to
break camp, get everything off the ice and pack the truck and trailer.
This trip was another lesson of why doing stuff with your kids in the
outdoors keeps your kids hanging out with you long after they graduate
from high school.
In closing, local information, the ears to listen and the ability to not
create lock jaw in whom you are trying to get that info from saved this trip.

Department of Agriculture offers help to farmers with nutrient management plans

MADISON -- A new year, and a new cropping season ahead, offers a good time for
Wisconsins farmers to write their nutrient management plans, or if they already
have plans, to review and update them, says
Sara Walling.
Walling, chief of the nutrient management and water quality section at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade
and Consumer Protection, says the department can help. Our staff is available to
assist agronomists and individual farmers
with nutrient management planning. We
also provide plenty of planning information online, we fund farmer education in
many counties, and for day-to-day nutrient
application decisions, we have the Runoff
Risk Advisory Forecast online. Farmers
can use these resources to make this the
year they develop a plan. It will help their
bottom line and keep them from making
the kinds of headlines no one wants to see.
Nutrient management planning is one
of the best tools farmers have to avoid
over-applying manure and/or commercial
fertilizers to their cropland. Applying
more fertilizers than needed costs farmers money. It also threatens surface water
quality if runoff occurs, and it threatens
groundwater quality if nutrients pass
through thin soils and cracked bedrock.
A nutrient management plan is a written record of cropping practices that
accounts for all sources of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, or N-P-K as these
nutrients are commonly known. It takes
into account soil type, sensitive landscape
characteristics, slope, underlying bedrock,

and crop rotation for each field on the farm.
Nutrient management plans are always
a good idea, but they are also required under some circumstances. Plans -- and implementation -- are required when farms:
-- Fall under local manure storage, livestock siting, or other zoning ordinances
-- Require a wastewater discharge permit for a large livestock operation, or CAFO
-- Accept nutrient management or manure storage cost-share funds
-- Receive Farmland Preservation tax
credits
-- Cause significant manure runoff
Walling says a good nutrient management plan:
-- Is specific to the individual farm
-- Is based on good data from soil testing
and other calculations
-- Meets the USDA Natural Resources
and Conservation Services 590 Standard
-- Accounts for all sources of N-P-K
-- Is prepared by a qualified planner
-- one who holds a recognized certification
such as a certified crop advisor, or the
farmer himself who completes a training
course
-- Gets reviewed annually and updated
as needed
Free downloadable planning software is
available online.
DATCP funds farmer education programs through grants to county conservation departments, technical colleges and
other organizations. These programs are
free to farmers and sometimes offer finan-
Cold treat make

you
cringe?
cial incentives to them.

The UW and DATCP, along with several
other agencies and organizations, also developed the Manure Management Advisory
System, which includes an interactive online mapping program that shows farmers
the 590 manure spreading restrictions for
individual fields, based on slope, soil and
surface waters. The system also includes
the Runoff Risk Advisory Forecast, a mapping system developed with the help of the
National Weather Service, which warns
farmers when rainfall or snowmelt makes
spreading risky.
Links to all these resources are available at http://datcp.wi.gov/Farms/Nutrient_Management. To find out if a training
session is scheduled for your area, contact
your county land conservation office. Contact information is at http://datcp.wi.gov/
uploads/Environment/pdf/Conservation-

If there is no training scheduled for
your area, let your county conservation
office know that youre interested. But
you can also use the list on our Web site to
find a qualified planner. Given the amount

Its not enough to develop a nutrient
management plan, she says. You need to
calibrate manure spreading equipment so
you can follow the plan, and it has to work
hand in hand with conservation practices
that prevent soil erosion. Nutrients can run
off by themselves, especially from frozen
soil, but sheet or rill erosion can also carry
them away. Then youve lost your money,
youve lost the nutrients and productive
soil and you may have polluted streams
and lakes.
