Wall of Remembrance to return to The Highground

The Highground veterans memorial park west of Neillsville announced this week that
the Wall of Remembrance, a nationwide travelling memorial honoring those who lost
their lives in the Global War on Terror and all citizens and emergency personnel who
died on Sept. 11, 2001, will return to the area in July. The walls return will be part of a
July 19-26 Operation Persian Gulf Welcome Home that will include the dedication of
the The Bootprint Persian Gulf Memorial at The Highground. The above photo shows
a man looking at the Wall of Remembrance when it was at the park in August 2014.

Some spring election seats empty


place were Daniel Gell, Hubert Quicker
and Tom Schafer. The top two vote-getters
will be elected.
In Granton, incumbent Dennis Kuehn
is the only member up for a new term. He
filed for re-election and will be unopposed.
The city of Loyal and village of Spencer
will both have races in April. In Loyal,
three candidates have filed for candidacy
to represent Ward 2 on the city Council.
They are incumbents Tim Froeba and
Dave Geier, and challenger Joel Dietsche.
Incumbents Jim Batchelor and Tom Bobrofsky will be unopposed in Ward 1.
In Spencer, incumbent village Board
member Diane Maurer is not seeking
a new term. Four other candidates are
running for three open Board seats. They
include incumbents Wayne Hagen and
Harry Toufar, former village president
and trustee Matt Bychinski, and Jerry
Wienke.
In Greenwood, incumbent Mayor Jim
Schecklman will be unchallenged for a
new 2-year term. The same will be true
for city Council members Mary Domanico
and Tracy Nelson.
All 29 seats on the Clark County Board
of Supervisors are up for election in
spring, but there will be no contested races

Please see Elections, page 8


1-177144

Seats on two area school boards and


on the Clark County Board of Supervisors will have no candidates for the April
5 spring elections, as nobody filed to run
for them by the Jan. 5 deadline. The seats
will be filled either by election of write-in
candidates or possible appointment after
the election.
One open seat is for the Greenwood
Board of Education. Its current president, Russell Dean, filed a non-candidacy
notification in December, but no one else
filed to run for the seat representing the
city of Greenwood. The other seat on the
Greenwood Board that is up for election
in spring will have a contested race, as
incumbent Bill Herr and challenger Dawn
Jacobson both filed paperwork by the
Tuesday deadline.
A seat is also open in the Loyal School
District, where incumbent at-large member Adam Luchterhand is not running for
a new 3-year term. No one filed to take his
place. Incumbent Board President Paul
Gries (area south of Highway 98) and
Deb Roedel (area north of Highway 98)
have both filed for re-election, but have
no opponents.
In Spencer, both incumbents up for
re-election -- Jerry Wienke and Eric Zenner -- will not be running again. Filing
paperwork to be on the ballot to take their

Almost 60 percent of the western Clark


County township of Butler is covered by
county-owned forestland. Town Chairman
Gerald Bizjak thinks that is plenty.
Bizjak is leading an effort in the town
of Butler to possibly stop the county Forestry and Parks Departments proposed
purchase of 320 more acres of county
forest land. That purchase will be up for
approval by the county Board of Supervisors at a Jan. 14 meeting in Neillsville,
but Bizjak hopes to present a petition to
show that county residents oppose the
buy. Bizjak would rather see the land stay
in private hands and possibly generate
more property tax revenue for the township, rather than add to the 13,560 acres
of county forest property that already
dominates the town landscape.
Bizjak said he would ask town supervisors David Mayenschein and Clarence
Jim Biddle for their support of a petition at a Jan. 6 town meeting, and with
their approval would then proceed with
a public petition to oppose the land purchase. He said he would have two separate
petitions, one to be signed by any of the
towns approximately 90 residents who oppose the land purchase, and a second one
for people who own property in the township but live elsewhere in Clark County.
With well over half of the towns total
acreage already under county forest control, and about one-third of the towns
roads serving county property, Bizjak
said enough is enough. Land that is in
the county forest generates some timber
revenue for the town, but not nearly as
much as private ownership might bring.
Bizjak notes a recent case in which a
tract was purchased and the new owner
built a home, which generates property
tax revenue.
Thats what Im hoping can happen,
Bizjak said. The property they (county)
are taking has some buildable sites and
could have some homes on them.
Clark County Forestry & Parks Department Administrator Rick Dailey
said the county is interested in buying
the 320 acres from Meteor Timber Corp.,
a real estate investment firm that deals
in timberlands. Meteor approached the
county last summer, Dailey said, to see
if it would be interested in acquiring the
acreage for county forest use. The county
swung a similar deal in 2013 to buy more
than 960 acres from a timber company in

The Largest, Locally

the town of Mead.


Dailey said the county would apply for
a grant from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund, a state program that sets aside
money to acquire lands that will then be
kept open for public use. While the county
is interested in the land for its future
timber-growing potential, it would also be
open to the public for hunting, hiking etc.
The land is now enrolled in the states
Managed Forest Law program, and has
been open to the public. Dailey said Meteor Timber would like to see it stay that
way, and would prefer to sell to the county
rather than list the land for private sale.
They want to keep public ownership,
Dailey said. Theyd like to see the management continue.
Some timber from the land has been
recently harvested, but Dailey said it has
the potential for strong future growth.
They have liquified a lot of the timber
out there, but there is still some timber,
Dailey said. The county would see timber income from the land in the next 15
years, with strong long-term potential
for revenue.
It is very productive, Dailey said. It
would rank with the top tier of acreage in
the county forest.
An exact sale price has not yet been set,
as Dailey said the county will not begin to
negotiate until the County Board okays it.
It has been appraised at $456,000.
Knowles-Nelson funding would pay for
half the purchase price, plus the county
could receive more Knowles-Nelson funding by transferring 120 acres of land in the
town of Foster now owned by the Highway
Department to county forest acreage.
The county would then need to fund
an estimated $146,500 of the purchase,
Dailey said. That money is available in
a dedicated fund created by the 2013 sale
of 109 acres of county forest acreage to a
cranberry company that wanted to expand
its operation. That fund now holds about
$171,000, funds that must be used to buy
county forest acres to replace what was
lost in the Edlen sale.
The township now receives 79 cents an
acre on the property in question because
it is in the Managed Forest Law, plus it
gets a cut of the timber value when wood
is harvested on the acreage. If it transfers
to county ownership, the town would get

Families get something this time, too


By Frank Clemente
Americans for Tax Fairness
Surprisingly, Congresss $680 billion
holiday-season tax deal will bring some
cheer to working families and not just to
big corporations this year. Refundable tax
credits putting extra cash in the hands of
hard-pressed workers and parents were
included in a huge year-end gift-wrapped
package of tax breaks -- the type of bill
that usually only offers big rewards to
corporate fat cats.
Every two years for the past few decades, Washington has renewed a collection of about 50 temporary tax breaks,
called tax extenders. Even though some
of them had been repeatedly renewed for
30 years, the giveaways were deemed temporary to hide their substantial $50 billion
annual cost -- 80% of which benefitted
businesses. Its an accounting trick. Tax
cuts supposedly expiring in a year or two
dont make long-range budget projections
look so bad, after all.
None of these corporate tax breaks
are ever paid for -- for instance by closing
other corporate tax loopholes. All of the
cost goes straight to the deficit.
Tax extender legislation has always
enjoyed strong bipartisan support. Its a
veritable lovefest between both parties
and their corporate contributors.
As usual, though, corporations wanted
more. Objecting to the (theoretically)
temporary nature of their special breaks,
this year they pushed to make several
of their biggest billion-dollar loopholes
permanent. This gave our side leverage
to demand major concessions in return.
Progressives rallied around two tax
credits that are very important to lowand moderate-income households -- the
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the
Child Tax Credit (CTC). Improvements

made to these pro-work and pro-family


programs were scheduled to expire in two
years. This would have pushed 16 million
people -- including 8 million children -into or deeper into poverty.
Advocates demanded -- and won -- that
any corporate tax cut package had to
also make permanent the improvements
to these effective poverty-fighting programs. That means a single mom working
minimum wage with two kids at home
will have $1,725 more in her pocket, for
example.
Another victory was the renewal of
the American Opportunity Tax Credit. It
provides a tax credit of up to $2,500 per
year for expenses incurred while attending college such as tuition, fees and course
materials. This will give a helping hand
to millions of families struggling with the
costs of higher education.
Altogether, the final tax package makes
a $250 billion investment in Americas
working families.
Of course, corporations still got more:
more than $400 billion in undeserved tax
favors. Among them are two loopholes
that make it easier for multinational
firms to stash profits offshore in tax
havens. The Active Financing Exception
was permanently enshrined in law while
the CFC Look-Through Rule was extended
for five years. It was the AFE that helped
General Electric to go five straight years
without paying any federal income tax,
and in fact get billions in refunds.
Together, the two tax breaks will cost
the American people around $85 billion
in lost revenue over the next decade. Alternatively, if we didnt plow $75 billion
of that money back into overstuffed corporate treasuries we could guarantee preschool for every low-and moderate-income
four-year-old in America for 10 years.

Johnson: School probe was groundless


Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) expressed
his appreciation that the federal government has closed its long-running probe
-- which he said is now acknowledged as
groundless -- of Wisconsins pioneering
program giving students and parents the
freedom to choose what school they wish
to attend.
Media reported on Monday that the
U.S. Department of Justice quietly sent
a letter to the Wisconsin Department of
Public Instruction in December saying
that no further action is warranted. The
Department of Justice probe had been
running since 2011.
Im glad the Obama administration
has at last admitted that its investigation
into the Milwaukee Parental Choice Pro-

GOP makes its mark with recent legislation


Republicans have tightened their grip
on Wisconsin government with new laws
on elections and ethics while national
attention has focused on selecting candidates for the upcoming presidential
election.
The new Wisconsin laws increase campaign donation limits, allow candidates
to coordinate activities with so-called
interest advocacy groups, and replace
nationally recognized regulatory control
by retired judges with two new commissions dominated by politicians.
John Doe investigations into alleged
political misdeeds are gone, financing
of investigations is returned to the Legislature, campaign donors dont have to
identify for whom they work, and the
majority party is likely to decide the top
staffers for the new election and ethics
commissions.
All of the changes favor incumbents.
They help Republicans because they
now hold the governors office and have
large majorities in both houses of the
Legislature.
Republicans dont need the added
advantages. Gerrymandering in 2011
created legislative districts that seem
to guarantee the GOP will control the
Legislature until at least the year 2020.
Only 10 percent of the legislative districts
are competitive, according to Common
Cause.
In addition, nothing bad is going to
happen to Republican politicians. The
State Supreme Court is decidedly conservative. Four of its seven justices benefitted from large right-wing campaign contributions. A fifth justice was appointed
in autumn by Gov. Scott Walker.
Earlier the Republican-controlled government reduced hours for absentee voting and required photo IDs to be shown to
participate in an election. This year will

be the first time for the voting changes


in a presidential general election. Critics
say the changes will make it tougher for
the poor, senior citizens and students to
vote. That, too, should help Republicans
when the ballots are counted on election
night.
The last Republican to win Wisconsins presidential electoral vote was
Ronald Reagan. Republicans have lost
several close presidential votes in Wisconsin since then, but the new election
laws could end the string of Democratic
victories in presidential elections in the
state.
Two major issues continue to await
action in the Legislature before it adjourns
to start its electioneering. Republicans have
strong allies in the antiabortion movement. At
issue in the Legislature
are restrictions or banning the use of fetal tissue in medically-related
research.
Matt
University of Wisconleaders say
Pommer sin-Madison
the legislation would
hurt both medical research and the universitys reputation among professors.
The last state budget crafted by Republicans eliminated tenure protections
for the faculty. Hundreds of millions of
dollars also were cut from state support
for the university. Procedures on dealing with faculty layoffs are now under
consideration on UW System campuses
across the state.
Another big Republican issue in the
New Year is the drive to eliminate Wisconsins century-old civil service system.
Gov. Walker says it takes too long and is
too difficult to fire workers. Republican

legislative leaders say it takes too long


to hire workers to fill vacancies. The
governor also has pushed centralizing
the process of hiring state workers in his
Department of Administration.
Changes in employee relations have
been a theme during the Walker administration. Public employee unions were
gutted at the start of Walkers first term.
Later, a right-to-work law was added for
the private sector, banning mandatory
dues payment in labor contracts.
Walker, who dropped out of college
without an undergraduate degree, has
bragged he has the equivalent of a masters degree in politics. He may be underestimating his abilities. A sweeping GOP
victory in November could allow him to
say his experiences are the equivalent of
a Ph.D. degree.

gram was meritless and that it has ended


its harassment of Milwaukee schools,
said Johnson. Many people were concerned that the investigation was fueled
by the administrations hostility to school
choice. The probe placed a burden of uncertainty on Wisconsin parents who were
just looking for a good education for their
children. This is exactly the outcome I had
hoped for when I directed my committee
to conduct oversight on the Department of
Justices investigation, which had dragged
on far too long.
The Justice Departments letter came
after letters from Sen. Johnson, in June,
July and December to U.S. Attorney
General Loretta Lynch, exercising the
oversight power of the committee he
chairs, the Senate Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee. The letter in June asked Lynch to explain what
complaints led to the probe and to provide
findings from her departments four years
of examining the Milwaukee program. A
letter in July repeated the request after the
Obama administration refused to make
details of the probe public.

year. For years we would take Interstate


35, almost to San Antonio, then head east
for the coast. We always took advantage
of a huge outlet mall to stock up on Levi
jeans and a few other items.
This year we changed back to our old
route and took U.S. Highway 77 from
Waco. Highway 77 is a major north/
south highway which leads from some
place up in Oklahoma, or even further
maybe, to Brownsville, right down on
the Mexican border. When Interstate 35
got built, the highway department kind
of forgot 77 and today most of it is still
two lane with small towns, curves and
hills which isnt exactly a place to make
time if you are in a hurry. Especially if
you get behind someone pulling a travel
trailer who is doing about 55 on a highway marked for 70 miles per hour.
Florence suggested it kind of reminded her of home. I said, sure, lots of trees,
green grass and cows. The only thing
is that the cows arent black and white,
there are no silos and farms, or ranches,
as they are called here. They have fancy
wrought iron fences and fancy gates
guarding the buildings. In many cases
the buildings arent even visible from the
highway. I guess they dont have to worry
about plowing the snow to get in or out to
allow building so far from the highway.

To say it has been a wet year is putting it mildly. Everywhere you looked
water was standing. Fields looked wet
and just south of Fort Worth we saw a
member of the Texas Highway Department out mowing the grass between the
traffic lanes.
A bit further down the road, two tractors, with their mowers still attached,
were stuck in the mud. I think it might
be a few days before they can resume
mowing.
It is 10 minutes past the time Florence
had said she wanted to get up and we
need to hit the road. The Gulf of Mexico
awaits us.

It is still later on New Years Day. We


are in our apartment and pretty well
settled. Our first chore, after getting in
the apartment, was to open the drapes.
The whole east wall opens for a view of
the Gulf of Mexico. I could count eight
rows of waves coming in. Someone told
me one time that the number of rows
indicated how strong the surf was in. We
also turned the chair and
couch so we can really
enjoy he view.
There are not too many
out on the beach, but
there is a cold east wind
blowing and a light rain
is coming down, which

Happy New Year! As I write this, the


new year is a bit past eight hours old and
we are truly deep in the heart of Texas,
about halfway between San Antonio and
Houston in the town of Hallettsville.
This is a town that dates back to 1831,
when John Hallett received a land grant
from Stephen Austin.
When Texas became a state, it became
the county seat of Lavaca County. The
courthouse, the third to be built, dates
back to 1897, and we drove past it last
night, all decorated for the holidays. To
call it beautiful was putting it mildly.
Later on this morning well take our
final leg of our journey to Port Aransas,
where I understand the dolphins and
pelicans are shouting Go Vikings. Now,
I heard that from Florences nephew who
has been there a couple of days already.
The fact that he is from Little Falls,
Minn., leads me to believe he might be
pulling my leg.

Our trip went nothing like we had


planned. We did leave on schedule on
Dec. 27. This enabled us to have brunch
with daughter, Sue, and husband, Mark,
in Holmen. Sue has a recipe for an egg
bake that is hard to resist.
Our plan was to get to Texas and enjoy
a day or so in the warm temperature
before checking into our condo on New
Years Day.
Mother Nature had other plans and
we awoke in Ankeny, Iowa, just north of
Des Moines, to a snowstorm. Not wanting to venture out, we decided that this
was the place to spend the extra day.
We watched and listened to the weather reports all day. A spokesman from the
Iowa State Patrol stated that they had 50
accidents and over 100 of what they call
slide-offs. Iowa has a law called no tow,
which means if you slide into the ditch,
you stay there until the storm is over.
Tow trucks are forbidden to be out. As
we hit the road again on Tuesday, there
was still plenty of evidence that the law
means just what it says, as we saw countless cars in the ditch. As a matter of fact,
that was also true in Missouri, Kansas
and Oklahoma, where we finally said
goodbye to the ice and snow.
Oklahoma, north of Oklahoma City,
was hit the hardest, with ice plowed off
the highway as if it were snow.

There was a little change of plans this

Latin rhythms to sizzle at Tack Center HOT, HOT, HOT!
Los Pinguos brought their music
to Spencer seven years ago, making
the LuCille Tack Center for the Arts
explode with their Argentine tango,
salsa, flamenco and mambo music. So
much dynamite powered the performance that the LTCAs Programming
Committee decided to act on the many

audience members and include the band
in their 2015-16 performance season.
Los Pinguos will once again entertain
world music aficionados here on Jan.
15, at 7:30 p.m.
Adrian Buono, lead singer, described their last concert at the LTCA as a great
show because of the people. They treat us very good. A lot of people come, enjoy and
dance. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Los Pinguos (the penguins), www.
lospinguos.com feature a mixture of Latin rhythms performed on Spanish guitars, a
Cuban Tres, Peruvian cajon (drum box) and harmonizing vocals. Their music can be
described as hot Argentine folk fusion, with an exciting breadth and depth of eclectic
world influences. For me, Buono said, the kind of music and sound we have, its
what people like because its unique. It doesnt matter if people dont understand
the language that the songs are sung in; he said, The energy and sound is what its
all about. Los Pinguos has recorded 10 CDs and appeared on three of the famous Putumayo World Music compilation albums. They have performed worldwide in places
such as India, Bali, Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, The Netherlands, Puerto
Rico, Mexico, Canada and throughout the United States. Los Pinguos music has appeared on TV shows, movies and a Sundance Film Festival event with Suzanne Vega.
While not touring or working in the recording studio, the band resides in Los Angeles.

Glacial leftovers are inspiration to artists at LuCille Tack Center


When the glaciers receded, they left a lot of debris
behind. That debris has now turned into some beautiful nature. This breathtaking landscape has been
the inspirational focal point for Gene and Mary Lee
Reineking for many years. Their art work will be on
display in the LuCille Tack Center for the Arts gallery
during the month of January. Come meet the artists
during an opening reception on Jan. 8, from 5-7 p.m.
From their Red Sky Studio in Almond, Gene and Mary
Lee will be presenting a combined showcase of floral
watercolor paintings and sculptures created in stone
and wood burl.
Gene has invested 40 years in the visual arts. That
includes a stint at University of Wisconsin at Stevens
Point. His time at Point prepared him for an 18-year
career as a stoneware and porcelain potter. He followed
that up by garnering 10 years as a wood turner and

maker of fine wooden boxes. The past 15 years, Gene


has spent time exploring sculpture in stone and wood.
To Gene, the natural world is filled with creatures of
grace, speed and power. His challenge is to translate the
raw nature into a statement that reflects these attributes
to the observer. He wants to portray his subject so one
can feel the essence of the animal. To him, the selection of the right piece of stone is critical. The specific
piece of rock with the right color and figure enhances
the design he is hoping for. He uses hand held tools to
cut and grind the rocks into shapes of animals that he
has watched and studied; such as the raptors, herons,
cranes, horses and more.
Mary Lee was a speech and language pathologist in
the public schools for 34 years. Her retirement in 2007
closed one career door, but opened another door of opportunity. It was a good time for a new beginning. She

has always loved art, spending thousands of hours at


art exhibits, street fairs, and gallery visits. In 2008, Mary
Lee made the decision to delve into art making. She has
always been fascinated by watercolors.
She took classes, attended workshops, watched DVDs
and devoured books written by artists and practiced a
lot. She also found inspiration from her friends. The
wonderful medium of watercolors teaches her something new each time. Mary Lee is attracted to organic
forms such as flowers and leaves, branches and berries,
as well as old buildings and an occasional landscape
here or there. Using vivid colors, she enjoys concentrating on the negative shapes surrounding the images.
Using representational subject matter often tends to
have a slightly abstracted quality about them.
Artwork on display in the gallery can be viewed during the opening reception, during the time of a performance or by appointment. The LTCA box office is open
on Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

NGL grabs second spot at grueling Northern Badger tourney


Spencer-Columbus fourth in D2
as Luepke wins weight class
The Neillsville-Greenwood-Loyal wrestling team made
good use of its holiday break in finishing second among
large schools at the 39-team Northern Badger Wrestling
Classic held Dec. 29-30 in River Falls. NGL got third-place
individual finishes from Skylar Barth at 113 pounds and
Nick Rueth at 285 and several other high finishes to give
host River Falls a run for the tourney title. SpencerColumbus placed fourth among medium-sized schools
with sophomore Hunter Luepke taking the championship
at 195 pounds.

Hicks like me just don't belong in the big city


is a throng, and a hundred is way more than
enough reason to pack a week's worth of vittles
in a blanket at the end of a pole and head for the
woods. I grew up in Willard, mind you, where the
only places I ever saw more people than I could
count on 10 fingers was at church on Sunday, at
a family get-together, or maybe at the peephole
between the girls and boys locker rooms (you'd be
surprised how that can draw a crowd). When I was
a kid, going to the city meant a drive to Neillsville,
where they had stores so big you couldn't throw a
dried cowpie from one end to the other. Not that
I ever tried.
Getting to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is easy enough, if you either first visit
MapQuest and print off clear directions, or just
close your eyes and step on the gas after you cross
the Mississippi (I chose Option B). The airport is
right along Interstate 494, which in a 15-second
span carries as much traffic as passed by my house
during the first 14 years of my life, and as long as
you know which exit to take ... yeah, no, I had no
clue. My only hope was that, if I took the wrong
one, that I'd notice the "Welcome to South Dakota"
sign and still have time to get back to the airport
before my son met a nice gal, dated for a year, got
married and began a family.
I had to choose between exits for Terminal 1
or Terminal 2, which sounds simple, except that
eenie-meenie-miney-moe is, shall we say, exhilarating, when you're moving at 70 mph just to
keep up with the exhaust fumes of other vehicles.
I picked Terminal 1, mostly because I was in the
wrong lane to get to the exit for Terminal 2, and
by gum, if that's not a good reason, I can't think of
what might be. A mile or so later, I was confronted
with yet more choices, either for baggage unloading, passenger pick-up, short-term parking, longterm parking, valet service, or to proceed directly

A Year in the Outdoors for Selina Walters


Hello friends,
So that I may stay home the week between Christmas and New Years, I
write a column about some of the highlights of the year that is just coming
to an end. This years column, for the most part, is going to be about some of
the many outdoor adventures that I went on with my 14-year-old daughter,
Selina Walters.
January, 2015
Selina, her brothers, Travis and Joey Dushek, and I went on a winter
camping and ice fishing trip on the Mississippi River near LaCrosse. We had
planned on fishing near Ferryville but there was not good ice (discovery made
upon arrival).
I made some phone calls and we headed to LaCrosse, where for the next
two days we had great success on 27-34 inch northern pike.
February, 2015
Selina, Gary Howe and I are entered in Prairie du Chiens annual fisheree,
which attracts a lot of fishermen and women. We stayed with the Howes,
had a blast and Selina took first and second place in the kids northern pike
division with a couple of beautiful gators. This is not meant to be an insult
but as big as this fisheree is, it would be wise for the folks in charge to boost
the prizes for our future fishermen. Winning a fisheree when you are 14 is a
really big deal for a kid.
April, 2015
Selina just told me yesterday that her favorite sport is turkey hunting.
Each spring, I take Selina to a new spot for Wisconsins Youth Turkey Hunt.
This year we were invited by my friend, Rod Bensley, to hunt at his pheasant
preserve near Beaver Dam. Rod worked it out so that Selina could hunt on a
neighbors property as well and literally on the last minute of our two-day
hunt, Selina harvested a beautiful gobbler.
May, 2015
Selina and I hunted turkey on our food plot and, as I mentioned, she loves
this sport. The beauty about going from the early April hunt to May is that
spring is in full strut, comfortable naps can be taken in the blind and life is
good. Selina whacked her second gobbler of the year and that one was the
biggest turkey that I have been a part of harvesting.
Later in May we headed over to Marsh Miller Lake and stayed at Birch Point
Resort near Bloomer. Each spring Selina brings a friend, our good friend Paul
Maire puts us up in one of his cabins and we catch bluegills. For Selina this
is another cant miss trip.
June, 2015

THE
BORN
LESAR
by TRG Editor Dean Lesar
to the runway for tower clearance for take-off. I
selected the short-term parking lane, much to the
rage of the taxi driver behind me who didn't expect
me to veer at almost a right angle across three lanes
without so much as a fleeting thought of signaling,
but, hey, I was there. He'll get over it.
After parking, I strolled into Terminal 1, rode
on an escalator down into the lower level, took
another escalator back up to baggage claim area,
took yet a third moving staircase ride up the main
boarding gate level, and decided right then and
there that'd I'd have an escalator in my house if it
wasn't a ranch style. I found one of those electronic
boards that show you the status of departing and
arriving flights, found my son's flight number,
noted that his plane was on time, and then deduced
from the available information that I had virtually
no idea whatsoever where I was, in relation to
where he might be, in the event that his pilot did
not grossly overshoot the runway and land on a
Stillwater residential street (yeah, I get paranoid
when I'm in the big city.)
I looked around for a friendly security person
or a counter employee for possible assistance
with finding Ben's arrival gate, but every human
I approached looked at me as if I had a stamp on

my forehead saying, "Has Ebola." I did


come upon a schematic diagram of the
airport's layout -- with a bright red "You
are here" mark, but that was as helpful
as pointing to a star in the Andromeda
galaxy and telling me, "This is 6,000 light
years from your destination."
I waited in a seating area until Ben
texted me with the pinpoint message,
"I'm here," which narrowed down his location to somewhere between the 42nd
and 43rd parallels of latitude ( I knew I
should have paid attention in junior high
geography class). I texted back that I was
in the main Delta gate area. He said he was not.
But I already knew that. Which he knew that I
knew. I escalated down to the next level --Ooohh,
I like the sound of that -- while he came up one
floor. He asked if I was in Terminal 2. I said,
"Should I be?" He didn't know. He said I should
stay put and he would find me. I said, "That's what
the cavalry outpost said to General Custer at Little
Big Horn and look how that turned out." Well, no
I didn't, really, because it would've taken like 10
minutes for me to type such a long text message,
but you get the point.
In just a few minutes, Ben found me, maybe
because I was curled up in a corner of the baggage
claim area and wailing for Mommy, but hey, all's
well that ends well, right? In another 30 minutes,
we had followed my bread crumb line back to the
car, and we were on our way back home.
A stray cat in a dog pound. A Kardashian in a
room with no cameras. Hillary Clinton in Monica
Lewinsky's wedding party. Vladimir Putin at an
anti-government secrecy forum. Me in a crowded
airport.
You get the picture.

In a years time I go on about 40 trips. The two best are Canada to Shultz
Lake (Chimo Lodge and Outposts) and deer camp. Selina has only missed one
year of her entire life of doing a fly in and she loves heading north with family
and friends. This year she won the big walleye bet for the week. We land on a
Saturday and go home on a Saturday. We fish hard, laugh lots and stay up late.
July, 2015
Selina and I participated in two KAMO (Kids And Mentors Outdoors)
camping trips.
The first one was on the Wisconsin River near Wisconsin Dells and we
had a blast. The second was on the Petenwell Flowage. Fishing, tubing, bear
baiting and lots of campfire time with a lot of good people, check out KAMO
at www.kamokids.org.
August, 2015
For several years I have taken Selina and three of her friends on a four-day
outing to an island on the Flambeau Flowage. We tube, swim, sometimes fish
and do a whole bunch of nothing.
September, 2015
Other than moose or elk hunting which is just a trip. What wipes me out
more than anything is bear baiting and then hunting. This July through midOctober, Selina and I (who both had tags) put thousands of miles on my truck.
Probably a couple hundred hours in the woods and though we had plenty of
big bear coming to the baits, it was all after dark.
Acorns and way too many hunters in Zone C made it so that we went 32
hunts without seeing a bear while in a stand.
October, 2015
Our annual Mississippi River duck hunt, near Ferryville, while camping
on an island. This trip is a classic that my father started back in the late 50s
and I have been doing for 44 years, Selina loves it.
November, 2015
Deer camp, The Red Brush Gang has so much fun that no one wants to leave.
This fall Selina became independent. As long as she is carrying a compass, a
daypack and hip boots, she does not need her dad.
There is more to tell but no more space, Happy New Year! Sunset

Trac deaths increased by 13 percent over previous year


Wisconsin ended 2015 with 556 traffic fatalities, which
was 62 more than 2014 and six more than the five-year
average, according to preliminary statistics from the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
Wisconsin is one of approximately 35 states that experienced an increase in fatalities in 2015.
Traffic deaths in 2015 increased by about 13 percent
compared with 2014. However, it is important to note
that the 494 traffic deaths in 2014 were the lowest annual
total in 71 years, said WisDOT Secretary Mark Gottlieb.
In recent years, weve had success in reducing traffic
fatalities, and our ultimate goal is still zero preventable
traffic deaths in Wisconsin. We will continue to analyze
crash data so we can take effective actions in traffic safety
education, enforcement and engineering to prevent fatal
and serious injury crashes.
David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Trans1-177310

portation Safety, said that warm spring weather, substantial drops in gas prices and an improving economy in
2015 likely contributed to an increase in the number of
vehicles on the road and the miles they traveled. An increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) can also increase
the risks for crashes.
The 2015 VMT will not be available for several more
months. However, VMT went up in 2014, and there are
indications that it may have increased again in 2015,
Pabst said. We also dont have enough data yet to tell if
increasing the speed limit to 70 mph on some interstate
highways and freeways had any effect on the number and
severity of crashes. We do know that interstates and freeways continue to be much safer than other highways.
According to Pabst, some months in 2015 were among
the safest since the end of World War II in terms of traffic deaths, but a few deadly months contributed greatly
to the increase.
Somewhat surprisingly, we had fewer fatalities in
June, July and August of 2015 than we had in the same
months in 2014. The summer months typically have
higher traffic fatalities, he said. Although the summer
months were relatively safe, we had dramatic spikes in
fatalities in April and September. The 50 fatalities in
April were double the number in April 2014, and the 68
fatalities in September were 21 more than September
2014. Those two months accounted for about 74 percent
of the overall increase in fatalities in 2015 compared

with 2014. April was warm and dry in many areas of the
state, and September was one of the warmest on record.
When the weather is nice, there are more vehicles, motorcycles, bicyclists and pedestrians on the road. Drivers
also tend to increase their speeds, which make crashes
more violent.
Deaths from traffic crashes were up in most categories
in 2015 with significant increases in pedestrian and bike
fatalities. To prevent deaths and injuries in the upcoming
year, WisDOT along with its traffic safety partners will
intensify many safety initiatives including the following:
To combat drunken driving, 23 impaired driving task
forces have been created throughout the state. The task
forces enable multiple law enforcement agencies to coordinate and combine their resources for high-visibility
enforcement efforts. Federal funding administered by
WisDOT covers the overtime wages for task force officers.
Enforcement and education efforts to prevent drunken
driving have helped reduce deaths from alcohol-related
crashes by approximately 51 percent and injuries by 55
percent over the last 10 years in Wisconsin.

Forest, from page 1


30 cents per acre, plus a portion of the timber sale revenue.
Bizjak said the revenue difference would be relatively
small, and is not the main reason why the town may
challenge the purchase. Rather, he said, its an issue of
placing some limits on public land expansion.
Butler already holds 10.1 percent of the countys more
than 135,000 acres of county forest land, and Bizjak said
he would like to see it stop there. When talking to town
residents on the issue, he said, Their first question is,
Why does the county need more land? he said.
Butler was part of the western and southern areas of
the county where farmers lost tax deeds to their property
after the Dust Bowl years, and those acres eventually
became the county forest. There is no need to expand it
anymore, in Bizjaks opinion.
It has been like that since I was a kid in the 1940s,
Bizjak said. They dont need any more We think private ownership is the best way for the rest of our lands.
