THE RECORD-REVIEW
Opinion/Editorial
Something vs. nothing
hould government be accountable? And transparent?

Of course.
Thats why we want to applaud Marathon County corporation counsel Scott Corbett for releasing on Monday a redacted
sheriffs department report that was the subject of a county board
closed session last week Tuesday.
The sheriffs department report regards a juvenile in crisis denied service by North Central Health Care (NCHC).
The released report edits out any identifying information, including the persons name, age and gender. The report is liberally spotted with black marker, covering up clues to the juveniles identity.
A photo attached to the report was not released. A letter written by
the juvenile is kept secret, although its contents are summarized.
Yet, a heart-rending story of hurt emerges from between the
black ink splotches.
The young person, prescribed medications for psychosis and
depression, had taken to using a razor blade to make body cuts.
The juvenile spoke of suicide. The minor said life was not worth
living and that the stress and responsibility of life was hateful.
A sheriffs department deputy sought a mental commitment for
the young person at NCHC. He took the juvenile to the Aspirus
Wausau Hospital and, once there, a NCHC staff person performed
an assessment. The staff person said NCHC did not have any open
beds for this person. The deputy contacted the countys secure detention facility. There, staff was short and the inmates were rowdy,
the deputy was told. The juvenile could not be brought there, either. The deputy wound up transporting the minor back home.
The county board, hearing this report and other tales of people
unable to get crisis services, agreed to consider withdrawing from
North Central Health Care and, possibly, starting up its own human services department. Board members agreed to cast a vote in
September.
A decision by Marathon County to withdraw from NCHC will,
effectively, end the 40-year-old agency. Eight hundred and fifty jobs
will be thrown in jeopardy. So will $60 million in services to approximately 10,000 clients across three counties.
The decision to either stay or leave NCHC is the county boards
biggest decision in a generation.
We appreciate, then, Corbetts efforts to make sure that the public
understands, as state and federal law allows, what might convince
supervisors to trade NCHC for its own human services department.
We want to contrast Corbetts efforts with the response from
NCHC. Asked for a copy of the same sheriffs department report,
Jessica Meadows, NCHC communications officer, said the federal
Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act (HIPPA) forbids her
agency from releasing any medical record of any patient to the
public. She said no report from any other agency, as well, could not
be released. There would be no disclosure, she said.
We dont know whether the county is wise to pursue a county human services department. We need more facts. Could the county really improve mental health services? Would fewer people actually
fall through the cracks? What about finances? Is Marathon County
able to find the money needed to enhance services to vulnerable
populations? What about the state funding NCHC enjoys because it
is a regional, not a county agency? And what about the jail? Building a bigger jail would be a financial disaster for the county. It
makes sense, then, to find mental health services for the one-third
of incarcerated people who say they suffer either from mental
illness or drug addiction. But NCHCs psychiatric hospital lacks
facilities to deal with dangerous people. What will it cost to beef up
security at the psychiatric hospital?
It will be up to county supervisors to think through and discuss
all of these and additional questions over the next several months.
It is vital that the public be kept informed of the discussion, kept
abreast of the debate.
Again, we dont know whether a county department should succeed NCHC.
But we do know this.
Government transparency is good. And when we asked Marathon
County to release a report on NCHC service to a juvenile in crisis,
we received an edited report and a three-page letter explaining in
legal detail why a full report was not provided.
From NCHC, we received nothing.

Everywhere I go
I find a pal
Peter Weinschenk, Editor, The Record-Review
What is a small town?
Well, its a bunch of buildings, a few
streets and a thousand and one-half jobs to
do.
Some of the jobs are paid. You might be
the wastewater treatment plant operator.
Or the school bus driver. Maybe you are the
pastor. Or, perhaps, the deli worker at the
grocery store.
Other jobs go unpaid. Maybe you are the
person who waters flowers in the park. Or
a church council member. Perhaps you are
the person who shovels your elderly neighbors sidewalk. Or maybe a Boy Scout Troop
leader. Or the person at the coffee shop with
a brand new dirty joke every week.
By some miracle, all of the work of a
small town gets done each day. And then we
go to the next day.
In my case, my unpaid job has been village planner.
I have served as Village of Edgar Planning Commission chairman for more years
than I can remember.
Mine is not a glorious position. It involves discussions, a bit of writing and
some thinking. I rub shoulders with local
leaders, business people and rank and file
citizens.
I like the work, but it is not easy to find
satisfaction as a planner. If you work really
hard, you might generate a small booklet
that finds a cozy place on a shelf for a few
years.
These days, I am busy. In December, the
Edgar commission sent out an eight-page
citizen survey as a preliminary step towards rewriting the villages comprehen-
sive plan. We just recently have received

the completed surveys and are processing
the results. The response we received was
very good. People were forthright in stating
their opinions. We have great data to work
with.
Sometimes, it is easy to lose perspective
as a planner. You think, on the one side, you
can make the stars dance. Thats wrong.
But then, discouraged, you think all your
effort is wasted. Thats not true, either.
Lots of things identified in the Village of
Edgars comprehensive plan 10 years ago,
for instance, have come to pass.
I was fortunate the other night to get a reality check on planning.
Somebody gave me a faded Village of Edgar community development plan written
by Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc., in December 1984 (with unemployment at nearly
12 percent!) Stuck in the pamphlet was an
article I wrote for The Record Review in the
same year reporting the results of an Edgar Area Business Association survey (people wanted a second grocery store, clothing
store, a farm supply store and a shoe store).
There was also a letter to the Edgar Village
Board, penned by myself, from 1989 where
I complain about the dismal state of the
branch library in the old Edgar Village
Hall.
Reading through this material, I was
struck how we, as community members,
made stellar progress in some select areas,
but how, in so many ways, we, as community planners, return to the same problems,
year after year, decade after decade.
The work of a small town is never done.

Forty-nine percent of people taking the survey opposed readdressing
village homes and businesses in a way
consistent with a Marathon County
proposal. In the plan, all properties
would have unique addresses. Fortyone percent of survey takers supported the proposal.
In a question about current village
services, people felt these were important to them: the local branch library
(65 percent), Edgar Firemens Celebration (58 percent) and Edgar Fine Arts
Association concerts in Oak Street
Park (47 percent).
People said they wanted these new
services: assisted living (57 percent),
a permanent farmers market (43 percent), an ice skating area with a warming shed (36 percent), bike paths (35
percent), a connected nature trail system (32 percent), a white sand beach at
Minnow Ponds Park (31 percent) and
hanging plants on Main Street (29 percent).
Nine percent of those taking the
survey said they needed employment.
Twenty-nine percent said they would
consider taking a job in the Edgar
business park. People said employers
needed to offer this wage per hour to
attract them to a job in the park: $10-14
(6 percent); $15-18 (15 percent); $20-25
(11 percent); and $26-40 (13 percent).
Asked about downtown commerce,
people said they wanted a restaurant
or coffee shop (31 percent), a hardware
store (24 percent), a Dollar Store (5
percent) and a pharmacy (6 percent).

full survey results on its web page,

Louella Luedtke.
Stratford
officer resigns
The Stratford Village Board on Monday approved a seven-page separation
agreement with police officer Eric Colby.
In the agreement, Colby resigns his
position effective Jan. 31. His administrative leave will lapse on that date.
The police officer was placed on the
administrative leave as of Dec. 22, 2015.
The agreement stipulates that Colby
will receive his unused and accumulated vacation, sick leave and personal time, as well as 131 hours of work
through April 15. The village will not
pay the officers health insurance, sick
leave, personal time or vacation effective Feb. 1.
A hearing committee of citizens recommended the board approve the separation agreement.
In related business, the villages Personnel Committee plans to meet Feb. 2
to review applications for police chief.
Prior to Dec. 22, Colby had been
named interim Stratford police chief.
Hamburg
theft reported
The Marathon County Sheriffs Department responded Jan. 19 to a complaint that $700 had been stolen from a
town of Hamburg home.
An incident report states that Kathleen Genovese, 41, CTH F, told police
that someone took $700 kept in an envelope stored in a bedroom dresser. The
theft likely took place Dec. 26, she said.
Stratfords Finest
Jeff and Cindy Braun, owners of AMS Bowfishing, Stratford, were named Stratfords Finest by the Stratford Chamber of Commerce
at a banquet held Sunday at the Buccaneer restaurant, Rozellville. The couple were recognized for developing the sport of archery
in the Stratford community. They formed the Stratford Sharp Shooters Club and Eau Pleine Outdoors Club. The couple has built a
3D outdoor range on the east side of Stratford and an indoor facility at their business place within the Stratford Industrial Park. The
Stratford Chamber has been selecting Stratfords Finest for 30 years. There were eight nominees for this years award.

DNR specialist
urges patience
in bat control
Wisconsin DNR conservation biologist Heather Kaarakka originally came up with the plan to move a
colony of 110 big brown bats out of
St. Anthonys Spirituality Center,
Marathon.
The bat specialist thinks the
strategy will work, but she cautions
patience.
The big brown bat can live up to
15 years and, being this long-lived,
she said that the Marathon bat colony knows every nook and cranny
of the sprawling former seminary.
The plan to evict the big brown
bats will work as long as they find
somewhere else to hibernate next
winter, Kaarakka said.
That might take some searching, the expert said.

The bats, she said, do not migrate south, but require a place that
doesnt freeze to survive the winter
months.
Kaarakka said it is no surprise
that the big brown bats holed up in
St. Anthonys Spirituality Center.
All bats are drawn to water and the
Big Rib River is quite close to the
building. Bats like to forage on insects that live near water, she said.
Kaarakka said big brown bats are
especially fond of beetles and are
beneficial in controlling agricultural pests.

Wausau Hospital and a NCHC staff person conducted a mental health assessment of the juvenile. The NCHC staff
person said there was no bed available
at NCHC for a voluntary commitment
and recommended a placement at the
Winnebago Mental Health Institute.
The staff person said that this placement, however, was unnecessary.
The NCHC staff person said the juvenile could be placed in secure detention. A county officer said that secure
detention had too many problem inmates and, being short two staff people, it would not be able to accept the
juvenile.
The juvenile was transported home,
according to the report. In the end,
there was no NCHC mental commitment.

Wisconsin announces ACT test results

For the first time in Wisconsin history,
all public school 11th-graders had the
opportunity to take the ACT college admissions exam during the 2014-15 school
year as part of the more rigorous Wisconsin Student Assessment System.
Last spring, 65,065 public high school
juniors had the opportunity to take either the ACT Plus Writing or Dynamic
Learning Maps (DLM), an alternate assessment that measures the academic
progress of students with significant
cognitive disabilities. Results show that
45.7 percent of students were proficient
or advanced in English language arts
and 35.9 percent achieved at those performance levels in mathematics.
What an opportunity for our students, said State Superintendent Tony
Evers. Taking the ACT exposes young
people to the expectations for college

and careers and may prompt those who
werent considering further education
beyond high school to finish strong and
take the leap into higher education and
training.
The ACT is scored on a scale of one to
36 and consists of five subject area tests:
English, reading, writing, mathematics,
and science. The 2014-15 statewide composite score for public school juniors
who took the ACT was 20.0.
For accountability purposes, the Department of Public Instruction worked
with content experts across the state to
establish cut scores along four performance categories: advanced, proficient,
basic, and below basic. Wisconsins
English language arts scores are comprised of the English, reading, and writ-
ing subtests. While Wisconsin specific,

the cut scores generally mirror college
readiness benchmarks set by ACT. Wisconsin student proficiency rates showed
achievement gaps for various student
groups. (See table in official news release)
Assessing for college and career
readiness sets the bar very high, yet
that is what employers and postsecondary schools tell us is required for high
school graduates to be successful,
Evers noted. The statewide ACT assessment establishes a baseline of student
performance that we can work from to
improve academic achievement for all
student groups.
Of the 65,065 students enrolled in 11th
grade for the 2014-15 school year, 742
juniors, or 1.1 percent, took the DLM.
Parents, students, and teachers received

performance reports during the summer. Administration of statewide exams
in the ACT suite for the 2015-16 school
year begins in March.
Historically, ACT results have been
released annually for public and private
school graduates who took the test during their high school career. For the 2015
graduating class, 46,738 students or approximately 73 percent of all graduating
seniors, took the ACT and had a composite score of 22.2. The differences in the
number of students, the multiple times
graduates may have taken the ACT,
and the fact that many graduates take
the test during their final year of high
school make comparisons between statewide and graduating class ACT results
invalid and flawed.

District Public Schools & Accountability Report
The School District of Marathon offers the following public educational school options for resident attendance area students and
students choosing to open enroll from nonresident districts.
Elementary School: Marathon Area Elementary School (K4-5)
Middle School: Marathon Venture Academy (6-8; Charter)
High School: Marathon High School (9-12)
The School District of Marathon and our Schools Accountability
Report information is as follows for the most current report year of
(2013-14): School - Marathon Area Elementary; score, 80.3; rating,
exceeds expectations. School - Marathon Venture Academy; score,
73.0; rating, exceeds expectations. School - Marathon High School;
score, 79.2; rating, exceeds expectations. School - School District of
Marathon; score, 75.9; rating, exceeds expectations.
Private School - Choice Program School (Voucher Schools)
The Private School Choice Program in our region is based on
where the student resides. Eligibility in our resident attendance area
pertains only to the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program or statewide
program (WPCP). Schools participating in the program receive a
state aid payment for each eligible student on behalf of the students
parent or guardian. Additionally, applicants may be required to meet
income and age requirements. See the frequently asked questions
at website below for additional information on program requirements.
We have no participating schools within our district boundaries
that are identified Private School Choice Program schools. To see a
list of specific schools participating in the WPCP please refer to the
Department of Public Instruction website at: https://sms.dpi.wi.gov/
wpcp-statewide.
Charter School
Charter schools are public, nonsectarian schools created through
a businesslike contract or charter between the charter governance
board and the sponsoring school board or other chartering authority.
The Wisconsin Charter School Law gives charter schools freedom
from most state rules and regulations in exchange for greater accountability for results. The charter defines the missions and methods of the charter school. The chartering authority holds the school
accountable to its charter. The charter school motto is Autonomy for
Accountability.
There is only one Charter School that lies within the School District of Marathon resident attendance area: Marathon Venture Academy (6-8).
Virtual Schools:
Wisconsin Digital Learning Collaborative formed to provide high
quality online classes.
The statewide web academy, known as the Wisconsin Digital
Learning Collaborative (WDLC) has been established pursuant to
the authority granted in Wis. Stat. 115.28(53), to provide equitable
access to high quality online education by offering online learning to
school districts, cooperative educational service agencies, charter
schools and private schools located in this state. The WDLC consists
of two collaborating organizations: 1) the Wisconsin Virtual School:
and 2) the Wisconsin eSchool Network.
The two organizations collaborate with DPI to provide a single
point for schools to access quality online courses, integrating them
into the new student information system. Combined, these two programs provide partnership pathways for schools to provide a variety
of online and blended learning opportunities.
If you are interested in virtual programs or schools, contact your
local school district first, as many have virtual and online programs
available. The difference between the Online Programs and Virtual
Schools is that the online programs usually offer courses to school
districts, while the virtual schools usually offer courses directly to
students.
The School District of Marathon works collaboratively with the
Wisconsin Virtual School for Online Programs when necessary.
There are no other Virtual Schools that lie within the School District
of Marathon resident attendance area. To see a complete list of operating Virtual Schools within the state please refer to the Department of Public Instruction website at: dpi.wi.gov/imt/digital-learning/
virtual-schools.
Full-Time Open Enrollment
The inter-district public school open enrollment program allows
parents to apply for their children to attend public school in a school
district other than the one in which they reside.
Any Wisconsin resident in five-year-old kindergarten to grade 12
may apply to attend a nonresident school district under the open enrollment program. Additionally, a child may transfer to a nonresident
school district for early childhood education or four-year old kindergarten only if the childs resident school district offers the same type
of program and only if the child is eligible for that program in the
resident school district.
The regular open enrollment application period for each school
year typically starts at the beginning of February of the preceding
school year and ends at 4:00 p.m. on April 30. The best way to apply
is online via a link on the DPI website.
An alternative application procedure allows pupils to apply for
open enrollment at any time during a school year if certain criteria
are met. Additional information regarding the alternative application
procedure can be found on the DPI Open Enrollment - Parent Page.
For your convenience, please refer to the Department of Public

Instruction website for further information at: http://oe.dpi.wi.gov/

Youth Options
Wisconsins Youth Options Program allows public high school
junior and senior students who meet certain requirements to take
post secondary courses at a UW institution, a Wisconsin technical
college, one of the states participating private nonprofit institutions
of higher education, or tribally-controlled colleges. Approved courses
count toward high school graduation and college credit.
The program offers greater learning opportunities for motivated
students considering a technical career, wishing to begin college
early, or preparing themselves to enter the workforce immediately
after high school graduation.
Under youth options, a student does not pay for a college course
if the school board determines the course qualifies for high school
credit and is not comparable to a course already offered in the school
district. If approved by the school board, the student can receive
both high school and college credit upon successful completion of
the course.
To see a list of specific requirements for enrollment in Youth Options programming, including timelines, please refer to the Department of Public Instruction website at: youthoptions.dip.wi.gov/
Course Options
2013 Wisconsin Act 20, the 2013-15 biennial budget act established a new program for students entitled Course Options. Course
Options provides a means for Wisconsin students to take courses
offered by other Wisconsin school districts, but now also includes
the opportunity for students to enroll in courses offered by charter
schools, various institutions of higher education, and approved nonprofit organizations at no cost to the student.
Specifically, the new Course Options Law allows a pupil enrolled
in a public school district to take up to two courses at any time from
an educational institution. Wisconsin Educational institutions are defined under the Course Options statute as:
A public school in a nonresident school district;
The University of Wisconsin System;
A technical college;
Nonprofit institutions of higher education;
A tribal college;
A charter school; and
A nonprofit organization that has been approved by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI).
To see a list of specific requirements for enrollment in Course Options offering, please refer to the Department of Public Instruction
website at courseoptions.dpi.wi.gov/
Pupils Enrolled in Home-based Private Ed. Program - Options
Home-based private educational program means a program of
educational instruction provided to a child by the childs parent or
guardian or by a person designated by the parent or guardian. An
instructional program provided to more than one family unit does not
constitute a home-based private educational program.
Attendance in the public school by pupils enrolled in a homebased private educational program is allowed for a pupil who has
met the standards for admission to the course and may attend up
to 2 courses at a public school in the district during each school semester if the school board determines that there is sufficient space in
the classroom. Also, a pupil enrolled in a home-based private educational program and attending a public school under this section may
attend one course in each of 2 school districts, but may not attend
more than 2 courses in any semester.
In addition, the law: 118.133, provides for participation in interscholastic athletics and extracurricular activities to a pupil who resides in the school district and is enrolled in a home-based private
educational program. Students may participate in interscholastic athletics in the school district on the same basis and to the same extent
that pupils enrolled in the school district to participate. The homebased educational program in which the pupil is enrolled shall provide the school board with a written statement that the pupil meets
the school boards requirements for participation in interscholastic
athletics based on age and academic and disciplinary records. No
person may provide a false statement under this paragraph.
A school board may charge a pupil who participates in interscholastic athletics or extracurricular activities as permitted under this
section participation fees, including fees for uniforms, equipment,
and musical instruments, on the same basis and to the same extent
that it charges these fees to a pupil who is enrolled in the school
district.
Special Needs Voucher Program
The School District of Marathon hereby acknowledges this section to serve as our required notification the parents/guardians of
each child in our district who have a disability and are enrolled in our
school district of the new Special Needs Scholarship Program (private school voucher program), which begins in the 2016-17 school
year and the program is available to students with an individualized
education program (IEP) who meet specified conditions outlined in
state law. Further details of this program will be forthcoming from the
Department of Public Instruction.

what gifts had been exchanged
and to visit, while still having
time to enjoy their individual

The Record-Review
TIGERS
Wildcats claw back for late win
to play. Our guys showed their composure and maturity. It was a total team
effort, Huss said. Once we settled in,
I thought we were tough.
Nick Eisner led Rib Lake with
11 points. Zondlo scored 10 points.
Scheithauer was held to a season-low
six points, but did record 16 rebounds.
The Redmen made three-of-five threepointers in the first half and were an
efficient 13-for-23 (.565) from the field
at the break, before going eight-for-32
(.250) in the second half.
Austin Borchardt, a 6-5 senior,
chipped in eight points for the Wildcats, who as a team shot 11-for-21 over
the final 18 minutes after an 11-for-28
first half performance.
Despite the Wildcats height advantage, Rib Lake held a 34-28 lead in
points in the paint. Edgar was much
better at converting their inside looks
however, shooting 14-for-23 (.608) compared to 17-for-35 (.486) for the Redmen.
Marathon stays
unbeaten in the
South
By Bryan Wegter
The Star News
Bit by bit, shot by shot and stop by

stop, Edgar rallied from a 15-point first
half deficit to beat Rib Lake 61-55 in a
Marawood North boys basketball game
Tuesday night in Rib Lake.
Dalton Strebigs finger roll gave the
Redmen a 2-0 lead after 45 seconds. Rib
Lake held the lead for the next 31 minutes before Alec Hafferman banked in
a left wing three to put the Wildcats up
54-53. Edgars junior guard scored 11 of
his game-high 20 points in the second
half, helping the Wildcats overcome a
37-31 halftime deficit.
This was a great game. Every team
is going to give us their best shot and
Rib Lake played great. Theyre a fast
team. We took it one possession at a
time, Hafferman said. Just get a
stop, get a score, get a stop, get a score.
The win keeps Edgar (12-2) undefeated in the Marawood North at 6-0. At the
midpoint of their conference season,
the Wildcats hold a one-game lead over
second place Phillips (7-1). Rib Lake,
fresh off an upset loss to Prentice last
Thursday, falls to 4-3 in league play and
is 7-5 overall.
We said, hey, theres no 15-point
shot. We just had to get it bit by bit.
Its tough to play with the speed of Rib
Lake, theyre a tough matchup for any
team, Edgar head coach David Huss
said.
The Redmen jumped out to an 11-5
lead before Josh Burish made a threepointer. Rib Lakes advantage grew to
21-10 after Noah Weinke hit a pair of
foul shots, the first of his seven points
scored.

back a Weinke miss and Austin Ewan
scored off an alley-oop pass from
Strebig to push the Redmen to a 30-15
lead with 6:40 until the intermission.
Edgar cut into the deficit when Tyler
Engel made a three-pointer from the
right wing. The Wildcats junior finished with 17 points, eight in the first
half. Two Weinke free throws made
it a 32-20 game, but Edgar went on an
11-5 run to close the half, led by seven
points from Hafferman.
Austin Zondlo and Ewan got baskets
early in the second half for the Redmen. Engel made threes on back-toback possessions to pull the Wildcats
within three with 13:40 to play.
Edgar out-scored Rib Lake 12-11 over
the next seven minutes before Haffermans three flipped the scoreboard for
good.
I told the kids after the game, we
showed that we have a lot of heart and
poise. We were able to fight back from
15 down on the road in a tough place
Marathon jumped out early and

eased to a 91-64 non-conference boys
basketball win at Colby on Monday
night.
The 91 points were a season-high for
the Red Raiders (12-2), who got points
out of all 12 varsity members in the
win. Preston Wirkus led the way with
19 points. Nathan Stoffel scored 16 and
Xavier Lechleitner added 14. Karter
Underwood netted eight points and
Ben Martin, Spencer Krautkramer,
Ryan Gassner and Donavon Free all
scored six apiece.

their deficit by outscoring the Raiders
49-45 in the second half.

Efficient Edgar takes down Rib Lake

By Bryan Wegter
The Star News
Tianna Borchardt came out firing,
and the Edgar Wildcats had no trouble
staying unbeaten in the Marawood
North after a 58-36 win over the Rib
Lake Redmen in a girls basketball
game Friday night in Rib Lake.
The Wildcats 5-10 senior scored
20 of her game-high 25 points in the
first half and was an efficient 10-for-14
(.714) from the field. She added eight
rebounds, three steals and two assists.
Junior Macey Wirkus scored 12
points on six-of-nine shooting and had
five assists and five steals.
Katie Cardey led the way for the
home side with 17 points and five re-
bounds. Jasmine Fitzl and Hailey

Wudi both scored five points.
With the win, Edgar (12-3) improved
to 8-0 in North competition and holds
a two-game lead over 6-2 Phillips and
Abbotsford, two teams the Wildcats
will meet again in coming weeks. Rib
Lake fell to 3-6 in league games and is
5-10 overall.
Conference is a goal for us, part
of that is focusing on each game as it
comes. Weve got four more to go, Edgar head coach Betty Urmanski said.
In an attempt to slow down Edgar,
Rib Lake came out in a 3-2 zone defense. The Wildcats adjusted quickly,
jumping out to a 13-3 lead after Borchardt scored a pair of layups, one after a Wirkus steal. Wudi knocked down
a three in response and the Redmen cut

the deficit to 15-10 after Cardey drove
the left baseline for a two-pointer.
Rib Lakes defense was a lot more
aggressive this time. We really had
to be patient. They came out in a 3-2,
which we havent seen at all this season. The girls made a nice adjustment, Urmanski said. When they
went to a man defense, it was kind of
yes, thank you. Were built for man.
A 5-0 Rib Lake run made it a 28-21
game. Cardey completed a three-point
play and then scored a layup off a
Raejana Wright pass. Borchardt got a
three-point play of her own with 1:38
until halftime to push Edgar up by 10
again. Cardey and Edgars Kamryn

Butt made free throws in the final 90
seconds, giving the Wildcats a 32-22
halftime advantage.
Wirkus scored the first four points
of the second half. The Redmen pulled
back to 38-28 after a Fitzl three-pointer
with 14:59 to play.
Over the next nine-and-a-half minutes Edgar went on the attack. Wirkus
fought through the paint for a righthanded layup to make it 40-28. Casey
Scheithauer drained a deep two, but
the Wildcats answered with a 16-0 run,
led by seven points from Dana Heidmann, who scored 14 overall. Wirkus
and Rachel Heiden both scored four

during the streak. The Wildcats made
six baskets while being fouled in the
second half, though only two of the bonus shots were successful.
The girls kept up the pressure
and we relied on our defense. At the
beginning of the season, we would
not have finished those layups, thats
something weve been working on,
Urmanski said.
The Redmen shot a season-best .406,
but attempted a season-low 32 field
goals and only scored 14 points in the
second half. Edgar was 24-for-50 (.480)
from the floor.
Raiders beat Wildcats
For the second time this season,

Marathon blew out Edgar in a nonconference game. Tuesdays contest,
held in Marathon, was a 65-28 win for
the Red Raiders.
Morgan Rachu was everywhere for

Marathon. The senior guard scored 17
points, swiped seven steals, grabbed
five rebounds and had a block.
Raiders guard Jayci Blume scored
15 points on six-of-nine shooting and
had three steals. Ten Raiders scored at
least two points.
Heidmann led the Wildcats with
seven points. Wirkus had six and Borchardt had five.
Marathon was 28-for-51 (.549) from
the field, compared to just eight-for-38
(.210) for Edgar.
Edgar drops to 12-4 with the loss.
The Wildcats had won 10 straight
games since a 73-48 loss to Marathon
back on Dec. 14. The Red Raiders are
14-2.
The most recent AP basketball poll
has Marathon ranked sixth in Division 4. The Raiders trail Assumption
Stratford rolls over Athens
Macie Frueh and Savannah Schillinger starred for Stratford, helping

the Tigers to a 73-36 win over non-conference rival Athens Monday night.
Frueh scored a game-high 19 and
Schillinger had 18. Kenadi Diedrich
led the Blue Jays with 14 points.
The win bumped Stratfords overall
record to 12-4. Athens is now 2-14.
Chelsey Gliniecki scored 10 for the
Tigers. Sammy Griesbach, Kaylee
Hollatz and Andie Zuelke all scored
six apiece. Brittany Ange, Kaylyn Schreiner, Berenice Lira and Gabi Janke
all scored four for Athens.
Auburndale got all they could handle from Stratford on Friday, but the
Apaches won a tightly-contested Marawood South girls basketball game 4543 in Auburndale.
The Apaches handed the Tigers
their first conference loss back on Dec.
11. Fridays result dropped Stratford
to 5-4 in the South. Auburndale improved to 6-2 and sits 1.5 games back
of first place Assumption.
Royals senior Taylor Gotz led all
scorers with 19 points. Paiton Richardson had 16 for the home side.
Frueh paced Stratford with 16 points
and added two steals, two assists and
two steals. Schillinger had 11 points
and three steals. Griesbach scored
eight and pulled in three boards.

WHY SUGAR HURTS

Q. What is it about sugar that is so bad for your teeth?
A. Sugar is an enemy to your teeth because it combines with the filmy plaque
that coats your teeth, creating an acid that can erode enamel and begin tooth
decay. Depending on any number of factors, the plaque can remain acidic for
up to an hour. After that time, the plaque will begin to return to neutral and the
danger will pass.
The amount of sugar you consume may, in the long run, be less significant
than the way you consume it. Dessert at the end of a meal, say, followed by
brushing and flossing, minimizes the exposure of teeth to sugar. Consuming
sugary products throughout the day, however, can keep your teeth in a bath of
sugar. Sucking on a slow-dissolving hard candy, for instance, keeps your teeth
in contact with acid over an extended period. Sugary drinks like soda are equally
damaging. Some items that you might think are healthy substitutes for sugar, like
molasses, honey or corn syrup, may actually be more damaging because they
are sticky and cling more easily to teeth than refined sugar does.
In addition to its effect on teeth, sugar consumption contributes to a variety
of other human health problems, including obesity. Talk with your dentist about
how to prevent sugar from being a problem for you.

Walleye on Metonga
Hello friends
This weeks field/lake work took place on Forest Countys Lake Metonga. Lake Metonga covers
just under 2200 acres, has a maximum depth of
79-feet and is highly respected for quality in the
size and numbers department of its perch, walleye,
northern pike and smallmouth bass.
Friday, January 15th
High 26, low minus 12
Until today, I had never seen Metonga, which
on its north end borders Crandon. I am a lucky guy
and had my good buddy Edward Smith, who owns
Northwoods Insurance Agency which is located in
Crandon, as a major helper on where to put my
Eskimo ice shack.
At this point people still were not driving trucks
on Metonga, so I would be hauling all of my gear be- Twelve below is hard on the hands,
hind my 4-wheeler in a 9-foot enclosed trailer.
but Jeff Moll was catching walleye
There was a sense of urgency for me as I only had
on Lake Metonga and loving it.
about two hours of daylight left and one heck of a
cold spell was just hours away from hitting my home on Metonga.
Our camp would be by itself, in other words, no neighbors. The first thing I did was pull out my Jiffy
Pro 4, drill three holes and put out 3 tip-ups for walleye.
I went to work building our camp, which is a pretty good sized job. I said our camp because my
old buddy, Jeff Moll, would show up soon
after the work was done for a weekend on
the ice as well.
It is dark; I have not had a flag and Ed
who is in his shack about 400 yards away
is texting that he is catching some walleye.
Then magic happened. I noticed I had
a flag on my tip-up that was only 20-feet
from my cabin on the lake. Even better yet,
the line was being pulled out at a slow but
steady pace.
When I set the hook, a good fight took
place and soon after I iced an extremely fat
21.5-inch walleye. I was so happy I felt like
doing a cartwheel.
Minutes after every bit of work was
completed, I got the call from my buddy,
Moll, that he needed his taxi to come and
get him.
Jeff Moll, in the shack on Metonga, with 3 beautiful
Jeff and I visited with Ed in his shack,
walleye.
then went to camp and put out Jeffs 3
tip-ups. What happened between 7:00
p.m. and 3:30 a.m. was classic for Jeff and me. We caught four more walleye, with the smallest being
20.5-inches and at 1:00 a.m I caught a very obese 28-inch northern pike.
Mr. Moll was highly energetic, and we laughed a lot.
Saturday, January 16th
High 3, low minus 14 lots a wind
Jeff and I gave catching eyes and gators our full attention during daylight hours and the weather was brutal, spit froze when it hit the ice. We did not come close to catching a fish until the sun said
bye, bye!
This night was a true classic. We listened to the Packers and the Cardinals from
inside of the shack and every
time we thought we could
warm up, another light on a
tip-up told us that we were
wrong. We iced 5 walleye
with the smallest being 19.5
inches and the largest being
23.5-inches.
The next days high was
minus 2. My 4-wheeler
would not start, so we
hiked a mile to our trucks.
Jeffs Suburban would not
start and had to be left in
Crandon.We were the first
yahoos to drive a truck on
Metonga this winter. Since
we had our lets sink a truck
hats on we hooked my trailer
to the truck, loaded the ATV
and 5000-pounds of gear into
Georgia and Fire taking a snooze in the ice shack!
it and drove off Metonga with
a, we just had a great weekend in subzero conditions smile on both of our faces.
I promise you, unless I die soon, I will be back to Metonga! Sunset.

THE RECORD-REVIEW
High court will rule on McKellips

Wisconsin justices will decide
computer definition, rules
for jury instructions
A Wisconsin Supreme Court decided in November it will review an appellate court decision granting Rory
McKellips, 59, Mosinee, a new trial
over whether he used a computer to facilitate a child sex crime.
The high courts decision will decide
not only whether the former Athens
High School girls basketball coach
should be retried to see whether he
used a computer to facilitate three sexual encounters with one of his former
players, but could also redefine Wisconsin law concerning computers and
decide when faulty jury instructions
should result in a new trial.
In June 2013, McKellips had a jury
trial before Judge Michael Moran in
Marathon County Circuit Court on
charges of repeated sexual assault of a
15-year-old Athens female, obstructing
an officer, and use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime.
McKellips admitted to the obstruction charge and was acquitted by a jury
of the sexual assault charges. The jury
found McKellips guilty of the computer charge.
During trial, the Marathon County
District Attorneys Office established
that between Dec. 18, 2010, and July 27,
2011, McKellips contacted the Athens
juvenile 8,324 times on her familys cellphone. Between June 10, 2011, and July
27, 2011, the prosecution said McKellips contacted the minor another 2,426
times on a cellphone he purchased for
her. During this same period of time,
McKellips and the juvenile exchanged
1,857 texts.
The Wisconsin Court of Appeals on
March 17, 2015, overturned McKellips
conviction and ordered a new trial.
The court argued that Judge Moran
gave faulty instructions to the jury.
Moran told jurors that they had
heard that McKellips used a Motorola
flip-phone to communicate with the
Athens juvenile. You must determine

whether the phone described in the
evidence constitutes a computerized
communication system, Moran instructed the jury. He read to jurors the
legal definition of a computer.
The appeals court ruled a cell phone
or other device, itself, can never constitute a computerized communication
system.
A proper jury instruction, said the
appellate court, would have had, the
jury determine whether McKellips use
of his cellphone was using a computerized communication system. The court
said the real controversy of the case
was never tried and a new trial was
warranted.
The Wisconsin Assistant Attorney
General Katherine Lloyd has entered a
brief in the case. The brief argues that
Wisconsin law is not unconstitutionally vague and that ordinary people
understand that use of a cellphone,
even one without Internet capabilities,
to lure a child into sex is a crime. The
legislature never attempted to shelter
sexual predators from prosecution because they used a cellphone, argues
Lloyd.
Further, Lloyd says that although
Moran misspoke when he gave jury
instructions, the error was harmless
beyond a reasonable doubt and does
not justify a new trial. Ordering a new
trial is an extremely rare remedy, argues Lloyd. The McKellips case is not
extraordinary enough to call for a new
trial, she maintains.
There is no date set when the Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear oral
arguments in the case.
Meanwhile, back in Marathon County, a hearing has been set on Feb. 10 to
determine whether McKellips should
be released on bond during his conviction appeal.
