April referendum to ask Spencer voters for $975,000 per year
CHRISTIAN PARKER/STAFF PHOTO
Spencer Board of Education member Jim Krasselt discusses figures at a Jan.

13 meeting regarding the school districts plans for a 5-year, $975,000 annual
non-recurring referendum to go to voters on April 5.

purchase of more forest acres
transfer could bring in more KnowlesNelson dollars equal to half the lands
value, for a total grant amount of $314,500.
The county would then use $146,500 of
money already held in a designated fund
from the sale of county land in the town
of Dewhurst to a cranberry company in
2014. The purchase price would also be
offset by an estimated $102,180 in timber
revenue over the next decade from the 320
acres in the town of Butler.
The county also used Knowles-Nelson
grant money in 2014 to buy more than 960
acres in the town of Mead. A stipulation
of the grant program is that the land be
kept open for public use.
The Board approved the latest grant
application at a Jan. 14 meeting in
Neillsville. Supervisors voting against
applying for the grant funds were Tom
Wilcox, Curtiss; Art Petke, Owen; Kevin
Froeba, Loyal; Gordon Haselow, Loyal;
Frieda Rollins, Granton, and Duane Boon,

The Clark County Board of Supervisors voted 18-6 last week to authorize the
county Forestry & Parks Department to
apply for state grant funding to help buy
320 acres of forest land in the town of
Butler. If the county receives the KnowlesNelson Stewardship Grant Program
money, it will spend $146,500 of county
money to add the acreage to the more
than 135,000 acres already enrolled in the
county forest in the western and southern
regions of the county.
The Boards action last week gives the
Forestry & Parks Department permission
to negotiate for the land purchase with
its current owner, Meteor Timber LLC.
The land has been managed for timber
production, and has an appraised value
of $456,000.
If the county receives the grant funding, it would also transfer 120 acres of
forest land in the town of Foster now
controlled by the county Highway Department, to county forest acreage. That

that we had a grocery store in Greenwood,

Governor not eager to speak with the press

Gov. Scott Walker started 2016 by refusing interview requests from newspaper
correspondents who cover the State Capitol, they report.
Thats not surprising. Other governors
have become annoyed with the coverage
provided by members of the Capitol press
corps who work for newspapers.
These journalists have good memories.
They remember what governors and their
staffs have said in the past about issues.
They know many of the details involved
in public issues, and they know how to get
responses from others in the public arena.
Governors are annoyed when things
arent going their way. Walker saw that
in 2015 when his bid for the Republican
presidential nomination fizzled. He saw it
when his favorable ratings dropped to 38
percent. His popular support had eroded
in central and western Wisconsin.
Governors are accustomed to audiences standing and applauding their
appearances at public events. Some may
occasionally think all this is for them personally rather than respect for the office
and the state.
Its easy to understand why they think
the press, rather than themselves, are at
the heart of bad poll numbers.
On the other hand, Walkers decision
to avoid early-year interviews might just
be an effort to avoid discussing issues
scheduled for inclusion in his State of the
State address to the Legislature. He would
want to package his visions in the speech
rather than newspaper interviews.
Other governors also have jealously
protected their speeches until they are
delivered.
Walker did interviews with radio and
TV outlets this year. Broadcast news reports, by the nature of their media, generally dont have the wider dissemination of
newspaper stories.
The governor has said he has a 20-year
vision for the future of Wisconsin and he
wants the state to move in that direction.
He also told TV reporters he might run
for re-election in 2018,
obviously linked to such
long-term ideas.
Walker has no choice
but to suggest he might
seek at least one additional term as governor.
To do otherwise at this
point would raise the image that he might become
a lame-duck politician.
Its much easier dealMatt
with both political
Pommer ing
friends and foe when you
appear clearly to be the
person in charge. Its the sort of image
that will help Walker as he campaigns to
help re-elect Republican Ron Johnson to
the U.S. Senate this November.
Johnson is a freshman senator who is
being challenged by former U.S. Sen. Russ
Feingold, a Democrat. National publications predict that their race could be one
of the closest Senate races this year.
Walker often appears on friendly conservative talk-radio shows, an approach
to strengthen support among so-called
Tea Party members who support him.
That stage seems to be his public forum
had to be closed.
A discussion then concerned what did people do
without such a store, such
as the very difficult result
that shoppers had to drive
quite a distance and shop and what about
those that couldnt drive? The conclusion
was that it was so very important to do
as much as families can do to support the
local grocery store, Mayvilles Market.
Emily Fijalkiewicz
of choice.
The non-partisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance recently suggested Walker
hold regular weekly press conferences
with the Capitol press corps. Such exchanges were regular events in the second
half of the 20th Century.
That might be dangerous because his
administration has contested several
open record requests for documents.
The governor has spent most of his
adult life successfully running for office
in Wisconsin. He may be reluctant to
adopt a new approach.

It has been a pleasant week down here

on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. It is
still winter, so the average daytime high is
only 64, but I think we made it just about
every day this week. Today (Thursday)
was the best, one I would describe as a
no jacket day. However, after watching
three ships go out this afternoon, the sea
fog came in and by five oclock we could no
longer see the beach from our apartment.
I never finished this last night so here
we go again on Friday. Was it nice yesterday? Yes, but today topped it and then
some. Temperatures got close to 80 with
only a slight breeze. And talk about ships.
I lost count somewhere between 10 and 11.
We were waiting for the maids to clean
our room after lunch so we took a drive
down on the beach and ended up at the
jetty right next to the ship channel. Here
we discovered Jackie and Bob and her
cousin, Charlie, and his wife, Sandy. They
were just sitting in the sand sunning
themselves, so we joined them. It is going
to change in the morning the weatherman
said tonight on the news, with a cold north
wind and only a high of 50.
I forgot to tell you about one of our adventures on the way down in the last days
of December. It was our celebration of
our wedding anniversary, number 59 to be
exact. We did it up in grand style, just like
every other year. That was to visit Louies
Cat Fish House and eat our fill.
With an election coming up later this

year, the talk of raising the minimum
wage keeps coming up in some of the
discussions.
For some reason I have lost touch with
what a good salary is. Two numbers always
stand out in my head - - $1.07 an hour and
$1.82.
The first number is the wage I earned
at my first job after graduating from high
school in 1948. I went to the Twin Cities,
where just about all of the high school
graduates headed and landed a job at Swift
& Company in south St. Paul.
I suppose the wage represented the
work by union members who were employed by Swift and Armours next door,
who had been on strike most of the spring.
I recall going home and telling my
parents what I was making. My mother
quickly replied, There is no one worth
that kind of money. At the time, I paid
$15 a week for room and board and rode
the streetcar from my rooming house in
St. Paul to South St. Paul every day. Tokens
for the street car sold at five for 45 cents.
The second number is the wage paid

by the postal department when I started
there in the fall of 1957. It was the most
money I had ever earned in my life. That
works out to an annual salary of $3,785.
As I said, it was the most money I had
ever earned and looked forward to getting caught up on some bills that I owed
about town and even putting a little away
-- some day.
While we havent been hunting license

plates in an earnest manner, we have been
pretty lucky. So far we have collected
38 states and six of the eight Canadian
provinces. We were a bit lucky last week
to drive on the ferry while leaving the island and see a pickup truck with a Hawaii
plate on it. Likewise, I had no trouble with
Newfoundland as it is parked right here
in our condo parking lot.
Back in the days of World War II the

government had a practice of telling us
how much each bomb cost and how much
a ship had cost to build. The idea was to
help raise money to buy War Bonds, which
was money used to finance the war.
Today, we fight our wars without the
government telling us how much money
it is costing. If I heard correctly, the cost
of the war in Iraq, started by Republican
President George W. Bush, was seven
trillion dollars. Along with that, the lives
of over 4,000 American servicemen and
women were lost.
Today, we hear the so-called conservative candidates running for president and
how they plan to just bomb those who
disagree with us and get rid of them.
None of them have explained where the
money will come from or how many lives
it will cost.
Along that same line, I read that none
of the candidates running for president
are veterans. Yet they all have ideas on
how to send someone elses son or daughter into battle.
I wrote last week about the building

boom going on. This week, the South Jetty,
the local newspaper, ran a story about a
project in the works for the future.
A development company has plans for
1,000 new homes or apartments with a projected cost of one billion dollars. Thats
right, b for billion. It should create some
nice tax revenue for the city.
While the discussion continues, no one
had come up with a solution as to where
to put people once the island fills up. After
all, it is only so big.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced 121 new
participants, representing 49 states and
the District of Columbia, in an innovative initiative, Medicare Accountable
Care Organizations (ACOs), designed
to improve the care patients receive in
the health care system and lower costs.
Memorial Medical Center, Neillsville,
was selected as one of 100 new Medicare
Shared Savings Program Accountable
Care Organizations, providing Medicare
beneficiaries with access to high-quality,
coordinated care across the United State,
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services announced. That brings the
total to 434 Shared Savings Program
ACOs serving over 7.7 million beneficiaries. We believe we are the only rural
critical access hospital that has been
put into the ACO under this initiative,
stated Ryan Neville, CEO of Memorial
Medical Center.
Doctors, hospitals and health care
providers establish ACOs in order to
work together to provide higher-quality
coordinated care to their patients, while
helping to slow health care cost growth.
Memorial Medical Center will be one of
434 ACOs participating in the Shared
Savings Program as of Jan., 1. Beneficiaries seeing health care providers in
ACOs always have the freedom to choose
doctors inside or outside the ACO. ACOs
receive a portion of the Medicare savings
generated from lowering the growth in
health care costs as long as they also meet
standards for high quality care.
Since ACOs first began participating
in the program in early 2012, thousands
of health care providers have signed on
to participate in the program, working
together to provide better care to Medicares seniors and people with disabilities. The new and renewing ACOs will
bring approximately 15,000 physicians

into the ACO program starting Jan. 1,
of 2016.
ACOs are delivering better care, and
they continue to show promising results
on cost savings. In 2014, they had a combined total net program savings of $411
million for 333 Medicare Shared Savings
Program ACOs and 20 Pioneer ACOs.
Based on 2014 quality and financial performance results for the Shared Savings
Program, ACOs who started the program
in 2012, 2013, and 2014, reported, in both
2013 and 2014, improvement on 27 of the
33 quality measures including patients
ratings of clinicians communication,
beneficiaries rating of their doctors,
screening for tobacco use and cessation,
screening for high blood pressure, and
Electronic Health Record use. Shared
Savings Program ACOs also outperformed group practices reporting quality
on 18 out of 22 measures.
Ultimately, this announcement is
about delivering better care, spending
dollars more wisely, and having healthier
people and communities. ACOs drive
progress in the way care is provided by
improving the coordination and integration of health care, and improving
the health of patients with a priority
placed on prevention and wellness. More
information about the Shared Savings
Program is available at http://www.cms.

Did you watch ... applause ... the State of the Union?
spring-loaded. Speaker Paul Ryan, on the other
hand, looked as if he was listening to someone
reciting the entire Internal Revenue Service tax
code backwards. He looked less interested than
a blind person at a silent movie. In response
to Obama's speech, Ryan said he wasn't disappointed by the oration, "because I wasn't expecting much." I suppose, after running for the Oval
Office alongside Mitt Romney, Ryan is somewhat
of an expert on low expectations.
Yeah, that's right. I went there.
Since it was the final time Obama will stand
in front of Congress while wearing Spiderman
underpants (I dunno', just a hunch), he could not
keep himself from listing his accomplishments as
the man who will serve between George W. Bush
and Donald Trump (unless millions of Americans
wake up and realize the guy's a walking bag of
bulls--t.) Obama noted that he pulled the nation's
economy back as it was ready to fall off a cliff,
ramrodded through Congress a sweeping health
care law that provided insurance coverage for
18 million Americans who didn't have it before,
brokered a deal with Iran to curtail that nation's
nuclear weapons arsenal, and warmed relations
with a small island off the Florida coast that
JFK once tried to blow into Castro-sized pieces.
True, Obama forgot to bring up the part about
the spread of world terrorism on his watch, but
then again, Bill Clinton didn't mention Monica
Lewinsky during his last State of the Union
speech, either. Or Gennifer Flowers. Or Dolly
Kyle Browning. Or Paula Jones.
Yeah, you get the point.
Obama did try to look beyond his soon-tobe-ended presidency by calling for destruction
of ISIS, although he also said Republicans are
screaming too loudly about the threat to national security. Obama said "masses of fighters

January Survival Test

Hello friends,
To keep myself in the game of being an outdoor adventures writer
-- as in camping, hunting, fishing and living on the edge -- I came up
with an idea when I heard the well-below-zero forecast for the days that
I would be traveling this week.
How about I head over to the southwest section of Trempealeau
County and do an ice trek on the backwaters of the Mississippi River? I
would not use a tent and, to add to the challenge, I would have a 12-gauge
a 30.06 and a coyote call and maybe do some coyote hunting.
Tuesday, Jan. 12 -- high 1, low minus 17-wind chill minus 30
So here is the plan. I would be pulling an Otter Sled that would have
two sleeping bags, a tarp, a few extra clothes, both guns and my food.
To sustain myself I had granola bars, chocolate-covered raisins and
nuts, and some pre-sliced cheese. To drink, I had five Equate nutrition
drinks which I kept near my body so they would not freeze (they froze).
My load was about 50 pounds and from minute one, the other story
besides the cold was the worst ice conditions that I have ever seen on
the backwaters of the Mississippi River.
Remember the flooding three weeks ago? Water was running two feet
over the top of all the islands. That water froze about four inches down
on its surface. When it receded it left every piece of land that I would
see covered with an ice field and I am sure will last the entire winter.
That situation was manageable -- what made my afternoon extremely
challenging is that the ice, due to high water that is still receding, is
sketchy at best. What is happening is that there is a lot of current under
the ice and because the water level is still dropping, and by the looks of
things has dropped at least three feet. The ice is caving in and causing
cracks, holes and thin spots.
I traveled five miles today and immersed myself in a world of islands,
wild rice beds and small stream after small river. Had it not been for the
fact that I was carrying a five-foot Mille lacs ice chopper, would have gone
under several times. In other words by walking and letting the chopper
hit the ice with each step, I had eyes on the ice and it was literally insane
when the chopper would go through the ice 24 inches in front of me.
Coyote hunting! The deeper I put myself away from the real world

LESAR
by TRG Editor Dean Lesar
on the backs of pickup trucks" do not jeopardize
Americans' way of life, especially since they are
conveniently located in Iraq and Syria and not
living on the street on which he and Michelle
plan to retire. The president also called for an end
to "rancor and suspicion" in Congress, which is
kind of like asking to remove the odor from raw
sewage. He said that perhaps Abraham Lincoln
or Franklin D. Roosevelt could have done a better
job of bringing this Congress together, to which
Joe Biden stood up to clap while Paul Ryan suppressed a yawn by plunging a pen into his thigh.
As per usual, the Republican Party offered a
public response to the State of the Union talk,
which of course, was to dismiss everything
Obama said as smelly hogwash and to suggest that
if the GOP held the Oval Office, then, by George
(no, not W, just a general figure of speech) things
would be so much better in all aspects of life that
all Americans could quit their jobs and government services could be reduced to just the Postal
Service (although it would still lose $3.6 billion
per year). This year's rejoinder to the president's
words was delivered by South Carolina Governor
Nikki Haley, who was named after the famous
comet (again, just a hunch) and is considered by
some to be a vice presidential possibility, unless, of course, Trump wins the

GOP nomination, and then he'll just
pick himself.
Haley said the end of Obama's
administration means the country
"will have the chance to turn in a new
direction," although "straight into the
gutter" were not exactly her words.
Haley said under Republican leadership America would see lower taxes
and increased defense spending, which
is kind of like saying you can live in a
brand new unaffordable mansion while
your mortgage payment goes down. Obama,
Haley said, "appears either unwilling or unable
to deal with" the terrorism threat, this from the
governor of a state that only recently stopped
flying a flag that honored slavery and secession
from the Union. Haley added that Obamacare
is a failure, just because.
Personally, I think the State of the Union ought
to be abolished, because it's nothing more than
political vomit for radio talk show hosts to regurgitate for days on end. No real policy proposals
are ever revealed, no sitting president ever says
anything that might make him look bad, and
the non-incumbent party always reveals themselves to be sniveling sore losers by presenting
a "response" that is more devoid of substance
than an awards show acceptance speech (good
grief, if you can find no words that express your
gratitude, then get off the stage already).
As President Obama said last week: "The United States of America (applause) is (applause)
the most (applause) powerful (robust applause)
nation (applause) on Earth (standing ovation)."
No wonder the rest of the world thinks we're
nuts.
the more sign I saw.

I had a dying rabbit mouth call and would conceal myself and call
and wait for 15 minutes and then move on. No crows came to my call
today and that in my past experience usually means no coyotes as well.
Dark, my bedroll would have to be on ice as my entire world is frozen
from the moon to the water. Two sleeping bags and a tarp, with a fleece
jacket over my head, worked just fine.
The entire night I could hear the ice settling as Old Man River sent
its excess down to the Gulf of Mexico
Wednesday, January 13 -- high 17, low minus 16
The biggest mental challenge other than bad ice was getting out of my
sleeping bags this morning. A good-sized challenge in itself was putting
as many of my clothes on while in the sleeping bags.
I had a premonition that I would see a coyote while I was doing this
and, as strange as this sounds, it happened. A large coyote came out of
nowhere and was 40 yards away. Both of my guns were in cloth cases in
the sled eight feet away, both were loaded.
I was in marsh grass; I crawled over to the sled and grabbed the
12-gauge which was the closest. I aimed, fired, and hit my quarry. I was
sure that I had just whacked my first coyote of the winter.
Long story short, I tracked that coyote for over two hours and it was
an incredible experience on crazy bad ice. Something that I learned from
a coyote that never laid down -- which tells me he was not hurt too bad
-- was that it had an incredible instinct on which ice to cross. Whenever
there was a question, its tracks told me it backtracked to a safer situation.
I hunted the entire day and never caught a chill, nor did I ever have
any pain from plenty of old injuries.
The coyote will live, but, yes, it does bother me that I did not have a
clean kill or miss! Sunset

During President Barack Obama's final State

of the Union address last week, the news channel I was watching displayed a photographic
comparison of the way he looked at his first
national address in 2009 and now. Yikes. I've
seen road-killed deer that have aged more
gracefully. Well, I suppose, that's what happens
when you wake up every day for eight years and
realize you have to avoid war, revive a national
economy, slow global warming, and pretend in
public that you don't think Mitch McConnell
is a moron.
As a marginally-involved, occasionallyinterested and seldom-motivated American
citizen, I have to admit that I watched only
snippets of Obama's address, in part, because
the Law & Order episode in which a private
investigator is killed while checking into allegations that a Mexican father has lied about his
son's age so he can play in a New York youth
baseball league was on Channel 260. You talk
about your must-see TV. I also didn't watch the
full speech because I can't stand the constant
interruptions of insincere applause by members
of Congress who think anytime a president
says "America is great," that they have to clap
until their palms blister. Yeah, people, I agree,
America is great. Now sit down and shaddup so
we can get to the part where the president says
the Republican Party is the bowel obstruction
that has constipated the American legislative
process. That's the crap -- pardon the pun -that we all want to hear.
I always enjoy watching the vice president
and the speaker of the House of Representatives
as they sit behind the president as he talks. Vice
President Biden this year wore a candy canecolored tie and jumped to his feet to applaud
so many times you'd think his suit pants were

lighting, have been ways weve been able to pay it forward, Endreas said. The Boards shown very sound
fiscal management during this last stint.
Board president Dawn Reckner said, Another selling
point is were not building a brand new school here, were
just keeping up what we already have.
Theres some good here in that were still asking for
less than we probably should, Zenner said. But that
ensures were also being fiscally responsible and making the necessary cuts where we have to. To balance the
budget where it sits now would be to ask for well over a
million dollars.
Board member Jim Krasselt wondered if a recurring
referendum would be beneficial if a financial shortfall
is going to continue.
Kibbel tried a model with a $975,000 recurring referendum and pointed out a widening deficit in the last
two years.
The problem is you could run out of money based on
the needs of the district at that time, Kibbel said. The
figures vary in how theyre written into the base and
revenue cap formulas.
Kibbel said such a situation happened with Spencers
first five-year referendum. Funds ran short and the district was unable to ask for more money.
The big hit to the tax levy with $975,000 is just in the
first year, Endreas said. After that, were in the $10 area,
which is pretty much where we are now.
Although some Board members were hoping to find
ways to reduce or eliminate the need for a referendum,
all resolved that asking the taxpayers for help is necessary at this point.
What we need is a bunch of kids to come to this district, Zenner said.
Endreas emphasized how the Board has shown restraint with building projects and taken excellent care
of its facilities over the years.
Every homeowner understands you have to upkeep
your house, he said. This building is no different.
Other districts, unlike homeowners, think that when
their house starts to go kaput, they just build a new one.
That isnt reality, he said. Were not asking to build
something, we just want to maintain what we have.
The Board will hold a special session on Jan. 25 at 5:30
p.m. to adopt the formal referendum resolution on the
language as it will appear on ballots in April.

Administrative reports:
Mrs. Schulz
-- Food drive: The annual food drive was a huge success. The
students and staff brought in over 3,200 items during the three-week
collection. Each year we have a "friendly" competition among grade
levels. The grade level that donates the most items is able to pick
out the movie we watch as a "thank you" for the food donated. This
year, the third grade won this competition and chose the movie in the
LTCA on Wednesday, Nov. 25. We even had the "cast" make a guest
appearance at the showing!
-- Holiday concert: Tomorrow night is the elementary holiday concert. This concert will be held at 1 and 7 p.m. The students from
pre-kindergarten will be singing at the 1 performance. I've had the
chance to stop into a couple of the rehearsals and the students are
sounding great! Thank you to Mr. Andrew Dillenburg for all of his
work in getting our students ready for this performance.
-- Reading visits to Colby: Colby Elementary School adopted the
Reading Wonders reading program started during the 2014-2015
school year. They were gracious enough to offer our reading staff
the opportunity to see the program in action and to discuss the implementation process. We have sent two teachers from each grade
level for this visit. The teachers found this to be a very valuable use
of their time. At our next Reading PLC meeting we will discuss what
the teachers observed during their visits and generate a list of helpful
hints for moving forward.
Mr. Zanotelli
--Madrigals: This past weekend was the Madrigal dinners. Thank
you to the Veale's, students, and all of the volunteers that work so
hard to make this such a wonderful program. There is a mountain of
work that goes into this and they always turn out so great.
-- Concert time: We will be hitting the concert time very quickly
here. On Thursday, Dec. 10, we will be hosting the K-6 holiday concert at 6:30. On Monday, Dec. 21, we will be hosting the holiday
choral concert starting at 7. On Monday, Jan. 11, we will be hosting
the winter band concert at 7. If you enjoy great music stop by the
Tack Center for the concerts.
-- Announcement boards: John Goodman, from CESA 10, will be
here Tuesday, Dec. 15, to finalize all of the announcement boards in
the MS, gym entrance, and Tack Center. We will have all of the areas
up and running.
