Clark sheriff gets


his new truck

Tragic accident was all


staged ... this time

scene of a car accident in which her
friend (played by Renee Herdrich) is
badly injured and another is killed. At

Bock restrains parent Jo Elmer at the
accident scene after she learns that
her daughter, Mariah, has been killed
in a drunk driving accident. Greenwood
High School, the Greenwood Fire
and Ambulance services, the Clark
County Sheriffs Department, and
the Spirit of Marshfield cooperated
in staging the mock accident scene
near the high school on April 23 -- just
two days before prom -- to remind
students of the dangers of drinking
and driving. All middle and senior high
students observed as local emergency
departments responded to the accident
scene and used the Jaws of Life to free
a trapped student. Bock arrested
driver Lexi Hinker, handcuffed her and
took her away to jail and future court
dates for homicide by intoxicated use
of a vehicle. The Spirit of Marshfield
helicopter landed on the football
field to transport an injured student
for advanced life support. For more

The Clark County Board voted 23-3 last week to allow


Sheriff Greg Herrick to use a new truck that had been
ordered through normal budgeting procedures but later
blocked for his use by the Boards Law Enforcement Committee. The action does not, however, settle a court case
Herrick filed over the dispute, he said, at least not until
the county recognizes the sheriffs constitutional powers
to make his own operational decisions.
The 2015 Dodge Ram truck, one of six new vehicles
ordered this year by the Sheriffs Department under a
2015 budget approved last November by the county Board,
is now in the countys possession, Herrick said. It will
replace a Dodge Charger Herrick has been driving since
he took over as sheriff in January 2011.
Although the six vehicles were ordered for a total cost
of less than the $189,000 budgeted for them, the countys
Law Enforcement Committee earlier this year attempted
to block Herricks use of the truck, which cost about
$8,000 more than a replacement Charger. Herrick said
the truck is more capable of reaching remote areas when
citizens are in need of help.
After the committee took action to prevent Herrick
from using the truck, he filed a request for an injunction in Clark County Circuit Court, based on his state
constitutional authority to make decisions regarding law
enforcement. An injunction hearing was held on April 1,
and although the injunction was not granted because no
irreparable harm was imminent, the judge in the case did
say Herrick was likely to prevail if he chooses to pursue
further action on the matter. A scheduling conference in
the case is set for July 22.
Herrick said this week that he will not drop the court
case unless county officials recognize his authority as a
state constitutional officer to make operational decisions,
such as which vehicles to order. Herrick said the issue can
be resolved quickly if the county Board, the Law Enforcement Committee, and the countys corporation counsel
recognize that his office operates under constitutional
authority, and not as a county department.
They would like to settle this, and so would I, Herrick
said. I dont want to go to court . This can be settled in

Man dies when old


building collapses
A former Loyal man was killed on the evening of April
23 when an old building he was razing collapsed on him.
Paul Rueth, 58, was pronounced dead at Memorial Medical Center in Neillsville after emergency crews removed
him from the accident scene east of Neillsville on Ridge
Road in the town of Grant.
Clark County Sheriffs Department investigators said
Rueth was demolishing the building when it fell on him,
pinning him between the roof and wooden foundation.
Rescuers lifted the roof from him and used blocks to hold
it up while Rueth was removed. He was transported to
the hospital in Neillsville, where he died of his injuries.

Kulp not sold yet on arena funding


by Rep. Bob Kulp. R, Stratford
When I heard that the proposed budget
had $220 million dollars in it for a proposed
arena for the Milwaukee Bucks, I had the
same reaction that many of the people in
outlying areas of the state did. The reaction
for me was, Why does this make sense for
the state outside of Milwaukee?
Im still not certain that it makes sense,
but let me tell you what Ive found in digging under the surface so far.
I found out that the state is already
in the arena business. When the current
Bradley Center was built in the late 1980s,
$90 million was donated by Jane Bradley
Pettit to build the arena. I had not known
that before and many people in the state
arent aware of that either. It seems a wellmeaning gift to the State from nearly 30
years ago is forcing our hand to make a
decision.
What do you do with a 30-year-old arena
that is big enough to host NBA and college
basketball games? Especially one that is
one of the oldest in the NBA and is in need
of repairs? The repairs and upgrades to
the Bradley Center will cost nearly $100
million. If we can trust those estimates, we
have a serious liability as a state.
This liability is made even worse by
the fact that the Bucks could very easily
go to Las Vegas or Seattle. The offers from
other cities are no doubt very appealing
to the owners. The NBA franchise is an
investment for the owners, after all. Given
the choice of staying in an aging arena, or
having a brand new one in another city that
is begging them to come, if you were one of
the owners, which choice would you make?
Lets get back to the interests of each
and every one of the residents and taxpayers in our state. We have two choices,
neither of which is ideal; either we put
no funding into a new arena and lose our
primary tenant (Bucks), or we negotiate
with the city and county of Milwaukee and
primary tenant, and insist that they come
up with a vast share of the investment for
a new arena.
If we take the first choice, we would
not only lose the Bucks, but also have an
under-utilized arena in dire need of many
millions of dollars of repairs.

If we choose the second option, we may


rescue a bad situation and invest in an
economically challenged area of our state.
If a deal is not properly negotiated, it could
also make the situation worse.
Where would the money come from to
fund the arena, and could it be spent on
other more important things like education? The money that would be used for
this is borrowed money that would be paid
back over time, much like a home loan or
business loan. This initial investment is
not taken out of general purpose revenue
(GPR) and it is not the same funds that
are used to operate the rest of the states
ongoing needs.
The proposed arena complex and related
infrastructure in that neighborhood of Milwaukee could be a $1 billion investment. If
the states investment is $220 million, that
is 22 percent of the cost. Is the central city
of Milwaukee a good place to invest money?
That question is unanswered in my mind.
A deal that is structured correctly would
have the following components:
-- It would require the city and county
to have put in the vast share of the public
funding and not be a minor stakeholder.
Those entities have the most to gain from
this deal.
-- It would ensure that the state is out of
the arena business permanently for both
the current Bradley Center and the new
arena.
-- It would get the state off the hook for
any future maintenance and upkeep of
either the current Bradley Center as well
as the new arena.
-- It would make certain that this is the
state and its taxpayers final obligation to
either arena other than repayment of the
loan. Repaying that obligation should start
immediately, be on a 20-year schedule and
not structured around the future earnings
of athletes and performers.
-- It would also have a claw back provision so that if the primary tenant were
to back out of the deal, the state would be
made whole.
-- It would further minimize the states
investment and maximize the local investment in the arena as the local community
has the most to gain.

Writer: The dog ate my homework


Editor:
In the Over the Back
Fence in the April 22 issue, the writer should have
done their homework.
Trust is earned, not assumed. The democratic nominee, Hillary
Clinton also voted for the Iraq war, which
was conveniently omitted. Yes, it was a
costly war which cost far too many lives
and injuries to our brave servicemen. I
am not diminishing that fact. We had two
of our own pay the ultimate sacrifice in
that war. It also was a monetary cost to
this country.
You failed, though, in your reasoning of
why truth matters, and why that statement
was made on Face the Nation. Questions
still remain. Why was a personal server
used for all official business, and then
all e-mail deleted at the discretion of the
Secretary of State. By law all documents

New budget ideas are floating in Madison


It is crunch time for the state budget
and an alternative plan released in midApril should add to the public debate on
key issues.
The plan, developed by the Wisconsin
Council on Children and Families, challenges key ideas in Gov. Scott Walkers
two-year spending proposal. It came just as
a new Marquette University public opinion
poll showed Walker had only a 41 percent
favorable rating.
The key elements of the alternative
plan are accepting $345 million in federal
money to expand Medicaid and halting the
expansion of an agriculture and manufacturing tax-credit program passed as part of
Walkers first budget in 2011.
The tax-credit program will cost $285
million a year when it is fully implemented
in 2017. Thats $156 million more than was
projected in 2011. The alternative plan
notes the credit plan already on the books
will eliminate state taxation for many
manufacturing firms and cut state taxes
by 95 percent on others.
The numbers have been used before.
Walker himself used them in a trade mission speech in Germany. The credits will
just about eliminate Wisconsin taxes on
manufacturing operations, the governor
said.
The councils paper said the Walker
budget plan focuses on a shrinking manufacturing economic sector. Another downside of the manufacturing tax break is that
it has no provision tying the help to either
job retention or job growth, the council
noted. The document emphasizes the goal
is not to eliminate the manufacturing
credit but to slow its growth.
Walkers budget proposal calls for a $127

million reduction in state aid to public


schools and a $300 million cut in state
support for the University of Wisconsin
System. Both ideas are very unpopular
with Wisconsin citizens, according to
the new poll conducted by the Marquette
University Law School. The councils plan
would eliminate both of those cuts and
make other changes.
The local school aid reduction is opposed by 78 percent of those polled. Poll
director Charles Franklin said that is an
eye-catching level of opinion. It also
raises questions about the Republican
push to expand support to private schools.
The governor blamed
his low ratings on the
media coverage of his
budget ideas, saying the
press has not been accentuating the positive.
Thats a familiar response from politicians
when things arent going
well. But his popularity
might be saved when new
tax revenue estimates
Matt
released. Revenue
Pommer are
Secretary Richard Chandler said he expects the
estimates will be higher.
Accepting federal Medicaid money
as part of Obamacare is not a new idea.
Democrats have suggested it could dramatically ease the states budget crunch.
Walker, who wants to be the next president
of the United States, said he doesnt think
the federal government can afford to continue the expanded Medicaid.
As the state budget drama unfolded
in the Capitol, another tax break idea for

are to be handed over to


the State Department, and
they decide which ones
are to be returned, not the
other way around.
Why after recent revelations did the Clinton Foundation amend
five years of tax returns? Why is it that the
Clinton Foundation was involved in the
Uranium1 deal with Russia? Why was the
Clinton Foundation so heavily involved in
the contracts after the Haiti earthquake?
I could go on with several more questions that we as Americans would like
answers to, but for now, The Dog Ate My
Homework.

business was being floated -- it would end


the property tax on business equipment.
Republican sponsors of the bill said it
would save business firms about $270
million. The costs would be shifted to residential property, with the largest impact
being felt in cities and villages, according
to municipal officials.
Even with a 2020 start date, the new tax
break idea for business may seem strange
given the current budget crunch. But it
has a lot better chance of passing the Republican-controlled Legislature than the
budget ideas of the Council on Children
and Families.

which seems to run from one election to


another.
This week it is our governor who
doesnt seem to give one hoot for our state,
only his presidential campaign.
Four years ago he divided the state
by taking away the bargaining rights of
public employees. He has even gone so far
as to compare them to the terrorists in the
Middle East.
Not spending a lot of time in the state
seems to be on his agenda this year and
news of his next travel plans was on the
news this morning. Im wondering if he
gets home enough to look at what some of
the polls are showing.
Two polls, one by Marquette University
and the other by St. Norberts College,
both well recognized as being worthy of
their findings, show the governors popularity waning in the state. He dropped
from a 49 percent rating last fall to 41
percent at the current time.
As for his bid for president, 56 percent
think it is a bad idea.
It has been refreshing to see the Joint
Finance Committee, which is taking up
the governors budget proposal, to say
no to a number of the key issues. Lets
hope more will follow before we destroy
some of our important accomplishments
in the state.

It is always encouraging to hear from


readers who tell me they enjoyed this column. Especially when you write about
the old times, one gentleman told me
the other day.
I guess Ill have to dig into my memory
bank one of these weeks and dwell on
what we called the good old times.
Its a mixed bag. I claim to hate all this
new technology, but my daughter, Jackie,
told me the other day, you do well for a
man your age. I suppose I do and would
be lost trying to write this column on
an old linotype machine, or even a typewriter. Oh, by the way, a reader came by
the other day to show me a magazine that
advertises typewriter ribbons. I wrote
the number down and will store it in my
portable typewriter, just in case.
Even this morning I had to fight my
frustration with this new technology age
when talking to my son on his cell phone
somewhere in Taylor County. They have
some blind spots and he must have been
in one at the time.
Wood County isnt much better as I
found a no service message on our cell
phone in Marshfield recently. Hopefully
there are better times ahead.

It seems forever for the latest cold spell


to pass through. The weatherman has
promised more normal temperatures to
prevail by the time this gets into print.
Meanwhile, the spring flowers are doing well and a pair of robins have taken up
nest building in our yard. This time they
picked our eave trough downspout in the
backyard. In this cold weather they are
doing a good job of nest setting.

Clark County has a number of unique


things to be proud of. Grassland Butter

two centuries.
The county proudly boosts its agriculture, but our county forest is one of
the largest in the state and in addition to
providing hunting and sports opportunities throughout the year it is responsible
for adding a couple of millions of dollars
to the county treasury each year through
wise management practices.

Another group in the county does its


share to make us all proud. That is the
Clark County Male Chorus, which just
concluded its Spring Sing and will be off
to the annual Big Sing soon, if not already.
From someone who cant tell one note
from another, I am always amazed at the
great music they make and seem to enjoy
every minute they are on stage.
When you consider that they give up
every Monday night, from September to
April, to practice just for the enjoyment of
singing, it speaks well of their dedication.
Speaking of dedication, two members,
Roger Leibzeit and Harry Johnson of
Greenwood, were recognized at the Spring
Sing for their 50 years of singing with the
chorus.
No danger of the chorus running out of
Johnsons either as Harrys son, Scott, and
grandson, Kirkland, are also members.
As for me, I just cant wait for their next
performance.

I should find something more positive


to write about, but sometimes I find things
that just seem to irritate me enough to
sound off on the subject. Last week it was
the long drawn out presidential campaign,

he has the authority from there.

Center. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on
June 13, at the Calvary Lutheran Church, Neillsville,
with visitation from 10-11 a.m.
Born on April 30, 1923, in Waupaca, to Ralph and
Marguerite (nee Miner) Larsen, Royce graduated from
Manawa High School in 1940. Following graduation, he
entered the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCCs), which
sparked his love for the outdoors and the beauty of
Wisconsin. His passion was helping to preserve forests,
water, and soil. Royce was drafted into the Army during
World War II, serving from 194346. For 18 months he was
stationed in Hawaii as a radar specialist. He then attended UW-River Falls, earning a bachelor's degree in agriculture. He married Dorothy Severson on June 11,
1948. He enlisted in the Army Reserves and served two years during the Korean
War, stationed in Germany. Following college and military service, he spent most
of his career (28 years) working for the Soil Conservation Service in Neillsville
and Stratford. The Larsen family moved to Neillsville in 1961. In his last days
Royce still shared memories of the many farmers in Clark and Marathon counties
with whom he partnered to develop soil conservation practices and reduce water
pollution. A favorite pastime was playing the piano, especially to entertain his
grandchildren. Royce had a knack for learning chords and harmonies of familiar
melodies by ear and never had piano lessons. He liked taking his grandchildren
fishing in his boat and camping in his travel trailer. He made lasting memories for
them. He enjoyed walks in the woods and teaching his children and grandchildren
to identify various plants, trees, and insects. In retirement he was happiest being
in the county forest area west of Neillsville or working on his woodland property
near Fifield. When declining health kept him homebound, Royce still worked in
his backyard raking and composting. He was a member of Calvary Lutheran
Church in Neillsville.
Royce is survived by his wife of nearly 67 years, Dorothy; their three children,
Tana (Frank) Schimberg, Brentwood, Calif., Rhonda (Rudy) Forjan, Eustis, Fla.,
and Jay (Mary Jo) Larsen, Cottage Grove, Minn.; six grandchildren, Jason (Valerie) Pischer, Katy (Greg) Furnas, Hannah (Hershall) Brown, Shawna (Christian)
Mendenhall, Nicholas (Jamie) Larsen, and Molly (Corey) Eidem; 11 great-grandchildren, Hudson and Ryan Pischer, Jackson, Jordan, and Jett Furnas, Paris Ower,
Alivia, Amelia, Jameson, and Jude Larsen, and Mazie Eidem; a brother-in-law,
George Severson; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Donna; and two brothers,
Wayne and Glendon.
Memorial gifts may be directed to Calvary Lutheran Church.

The Gesche Funeral Home, Neillsville, is assisting the family with arrangements.

go unnamed because I didn't get her written
permission to identify her and there's a decent
chance she knows a good lawyer, or at least
where I live. Likewise, I won't name anybody else
who participated, lest we sully their hard-gotten
reputations. Except Randy. I mean, c'mon, the
guy's already embarrassed himself plenty, there's
nothing I can do to make it worse.
Anyway, our parental group met secretly at a
local park last Wednesday night to rehearse our
routine. We gathered back about an hour before
prom to fine tune the show, which is to say we
stumbled over each other and questioned our
decisions to join the mob without any serious
consideration for our ensuing public standing.
I mean, had anybody thought about Social Services showing up and taking our kids away? And
if they did, could we like get them back for an
hour on Saturdays when the lawn needs mowing?
At an appointed time, shortly before the
prom's grand march, we sneaked in to the
school through a back door and finished our
final preparations in a vacant classroom. This is
the point where I first put on my 1970s brown
mullet wig, and after catching my reflection in
a window, had to admit, "Dang, I could have
made it in the Partridge Family." Not to brag
or anything, but with that mullet on, you could
hardly notice my sickly pale complexion, homely
face, crooked ears or acne scars. I wasn't sure I'd
ever take it off again.
At the appointed time, the evening's DJ -- who
was in on the ruse -- fired up "We Will Rock

Possible Changes for Wisconsin Outdoor Enthusiasts


Hello friends,
Each spring, on the second Monday in April, the Department of Natural
Resources and the Wisconsin Conservation Congress hold their annual spring
meetings, which are held in all 72 counties in Wisconsin.
These meetings provide the opportunity for the public to vote on potential
rule changes and modifications that quite often benefit those of us that enjoy
the great outdoors.
This week I am going to briefly write on what I feel are some potential
rule changes that are both interesting and what I feel you should know about.
Currently, if you are hunting pheasant, ruffed grouse, Hungarian partridge,
squirrels and rabbits you can only possess twice the daily bag limit in your
cooler or freezer.
Should this rule be changed the possession limit would change to three
times the daily bag limit. I voted in favor of this common sense rule change.
The elimination of trapping restriction hours. Currently, it is illegal to
check or set your traps between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. There are trappers out there
that with the current hours not allowed to check the traps are when they have
the time to do it and maybe no other time of the day. I back the elimination of
trapper restriction hours.
Antler point restrictions! The County Deer Advisory Council (CDAC) had
a question! Do you favor antler restriction rules? This would be a per county
regulation and in simple terms. In some counties you would not be able to
shoot bucks with small horns. I opposed this potential change in our current structure which allows bucks with an antler with over three inches to
be harvested.
There are many people out there that love to harvest a buck and after sitting
three hours or nine days would be very happy to harvest a three-point buck
which is also much better eating then a mature buck.
Here is a question, which my reply will perhaps get some good people mad
at me!
Would you support bear hunting with dogs in Zone C, north of Highway 21?
Currently, you may train bear hounds in Zone C up until a few days before
the start of bear hunting season but after that, you have to hunt in another
zone.
I have many friends that hunt bear with dogs. I respect this method of
bear hunting.
If this rule change happens I will support it.
My opinion and vote is not to allow the rule change. Let the bait hunters

back disc, then retreated to the back row to
participate in the remaining three songs. After a
group "Electric Slide," or something resembling
an elephant herd mating routine, we shuffled our
way out of there.
Best we could tell, we surprised the kids,
which was what this whole thing was about. They
tend to see us as a boring fetch of fuddy-duddies,
I'm sure, so we figured we'd best take this final
chance before their senior year to show them two
things: 1.) We're more cool than they think, and
2.) Sometimes we like wearing shoulder-length
wigs and spiked leather collars and strutting
on stage like we're auditioning for a Pink Floyd
revival show.
We were sort of hoping to embarrass the
teens, too, but I'm not sure we succeeded on that
count. Turns out, they seemed to enjoy the show,
gathering around us in a semi-circle, clapping to
the classic tunes, and, of course, trying to record
everything so they could post it to FaceTube or
YouBook or wherever it is they put the endless
hours of crap they capture. Personally, I was
kinda' hoping maybe an agent might see me on
one of their uploads, and you know, like maybe
offer me a contract to reprise my Queen guitar

solo every weekend in Vegas. Just a


thought.
Back at home that evening, with a
hot pad for my back, ice packs for my
knees, and four Alleve for everything
else that was bound to hurt the morning after trying to learn the Electric
Slide in an hour in somebody's garage,
I thought a bit about how our teenage kids perceive those of us whose
responsibility it is to guide them into
adulthood. Things have changed a ton
in the 35 years since I was my son's
age, and I surely respected my parents'
authority and wisdom, even if I did ignore it
on most occasions when faced with a choice
between doing the right thing and throwing
eggs at people's cars (What is the statute of
limitations on eggs, anyway?) I hope my boy
and the others in his class hold us parents in
similar esteem, and when we tell them things
such as "Make good decisions" when they head
out on prom night that they don't just sneer
and think, "Why should I take advice from a
guy who needs six minutes to text Where R U?"
I do think we made a tiny impression on
the kids on Saturday, and they may remember
someday the night their parents stepped outside their own comfortable boxes to risk a little
embarrassment to soften that sometimes hard
wall between parent and offspring. I know I
would surely have remembered it if my parents
had participated in a junior prom flash mob in
1980, perhaps jamming to an Everly Brothers
tune or shaking their hips like Elvis.
As for my son, his description of our performance at his prom included the words "deeply
disturbing." And he doesn't even know yet that
I might wear the mullet wig to his graduation.

have one zone, where they do not have to worry about dogs pushing bear off
their bait or every other year, the season starting one week later so the hound
hunters can go first.
Anyone that hunts Zone C is well aware that there are a lot of bear hunters
in it, as it is our unit that is the closest to Wisconsins largest cities. Unless
you are going in deep or have private land baiting, it is a challenge due to so
much competition.
Another potential rule change would allow bear hunting to begin on
Sept. 1.
This would allow hunting black bear a few days earlier then our present
rules allow and is pretty much common sense.
When the acorns start to fall, a large percentage of black bear that are
hitting baits, leave the baits and work the new food which whether you are
paying a guide or did your own baiting, is a major bummer.
There would be years where this rule change would benefit hunters and I
do not see any negativity that would come with it.
Here is a no brainer! Currently, conservation wardens cannot enforce potential trespass violations. If someone is trespassing on your land, you have
to call your county sheriffs office.
If this rule changes, a conservation warden would be able to enforce trespass violations. If a conservation warden can help stop a potential bank robber while on duty, why cant he or she write a ticket for a trespass violation?
Here goes some more of my friends bye allowing a sandhill crane season.
Have you ever gone west in the fall? They shoot swans and sandhill cranes out
there and they do so because they manage the harvest.
Waterfowl hunters and farmers know a well managed sandhill crane harvest is going to have no significant bearing on the amount of sandhill cranes
in Wisconsin (remember the uproar about the morning dove season/over
blown waste of time and money).
There is several more topics that I could write about but I think I better
upgrade my life insurance due to what I just wrote and leave well enough alone.
Just remember most of this is POTENTIAL, not guaranteed.

I had no idea I looked so hot in a mullet.


Well, OK, maybe "hot" is not the exact
word I'm looking for, 'cuz others who saw me
Saturday night picked adjectives more in the
line of "ick" and "disgusting" and "Oh, dear
lord, does that poor man realize he's in a public
place?" Yeah, sure, I knew. I mean, it's not like
anybody has a convenient handheld device
these days that they can use to shoot video
and upload images to some sort of futuristic
global network that everyone on the planet has
access to or anything. Geez. Why so paranoid?
OK, truth be told, you might be paranoid,
too, if you did what me and about 20 other parents of Greenwood junior class members did
at the kids' prom on Saturday night. Designed
and planned completely as an embarrassment
to those 17-year-olds who avoid naming us
except when they need cash or our signature
on a field trip permission slip, we formed a sort
of "flash mob" at the prom and proceeded to
"perform" a few old rock 'n roll songs that these
young-uns think are as ancient as the Dead
Sea Scrolls. Well, maybe, they're right. Have
you looked at any old AC/DC album covers
lately? Those dudes were cccrrrreeeeppppyyyy.
Speaking of AC/DC, we covered "Thunderstruck" on Saturday night, complete with
a full rock-on guitar riff and a lead soloist, in
between laughable remakes of Queen's "We
Will Rock You" and the venerable Village
People's "YMCA." We wore wigs and leather
collars, cowboy gear, police uniforms, choir
robes, fireman's apparel and lacy frilled underwear with glitter sequins ... what was that?
Nobody else wore that?
Whoops.
Our feeble flash mob was the brainchild of
one class member's mother, who shall hereby

HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Loyal school announces honor roll students

American Pickers will be in Wisconsin in June, 2015, and theyre looking for some
good picking. If you dont know who these pickers are, youve been missing a great
show. New shows are the History Channel on Wednesday nights, at 8 p.m., but often
the program is from 7 to 10 p.m.
Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz travel the back roads from coast to coast, earning a
living looking for hidden gems in junk yards, basements, garages and barns. They
meet unique characters along the way, and all have stories to tell! They bring the
past to life and recycle as they go. If someone you know has a large collection, Mike
and Frank would like to see some photos to decide if it would work for their show.
Send close ups of things you have that are rare, and send along a description of your
collection. Upload the pictures on www.wetransfer.com or call and leave a message
at 1-855-OLD-RUST. They do not want farming or agricultural items, tools, tractors,
stoves, appliances, glassware, etc. If you watch the show, you know what they want.
Thanks for reading!

County. The playing field is not equal when
we do not consider poverty as part of the
participation. So Im in favor of this and
I appreciate you folks taking a good look
at this.
Minnesota uses the 0.4 factor based
on its studies determining students who
qualify for free or reduced lunches are
40 percent less likely to participate in
athletics.
Biebel again spoke out, saying Minnesotas numbers havent been substantiated. He claimed that in Kansas, the figure
is only 12 percent. He claimed participation fees for athletics are another factor
to consider in cases of low participation
rates. Brian Matz, the athletic director at
Green Bay Southwest, countered by saying
in that citys four public high schools, the
free and reduced rate is above 50 percent
and none of those schools collect participation fees.
Harnisch and Mequon Homestead
athletic director Ryan Mangan voiced
their opposition to the plan, stating there
isnt enough data available yet to back
such a plan. Mangan was on the ad-hoc
committee.
At one point I was in favor of it until
I learned that some of my assumptions
about the numbers of free and reduced
lunch students attending private schools
were wrong, Harnisch said. The impact
of vouchers in urban areas has led to, what
you might be surprised to learn, that many
of the dominant powerhouse schools that
were talking about, those schools would
likely go down a division as a result of
this as its written. Because their free
and reduced numbers are just as high as
Ashlands are.

SPENCER -- President Christine Kurz


said a prayer before a potluck dinner was
served at noon, to the Spencer Senior
Citizens on April 16, to 14 members and
guest, Lorraine Rueden, who became a
new member.
The meeting opened reciting the
Pledge of Allegiance.
Secretary and treasurer reports
were read. Patti Fuchs gave a report on
birthday cards, Easter greetings, and
letters were sent to members and Charter members. She also had on display
the Senior Citizen History book for the
group to view.
James Howard read poetry that his
grandmother had handwritten in the
1940s named, My Little Store House,
and one he wrote named, Kittys Movie
Night. He also had a Spencer yearbook
from 1950 on display.
Joan Will read an article about how
things have changed between the years

of 1930 to 1979.
A motion was made and seconded to
pay a $2 per year membership fee starting
in 2016 and not have money taken from
the treasury for a door prize.
Caroline Schillinger and James Harwood celebrated birthdays in April.
James treated us with ice cream.
Christine Kurz mentioned a book
being published sometime later this
year from area people submitting their
real life stories, not anything fictional.
Christine will be a model for Christopher
Banks in Marshfield on April 18. She
suggested we attend a cancer benefit for
Kay Neumann on April 25, 4-10 p.m., at
the Eagles in Marshfield.
Meeting adjourned, sheepshead was

the multiplier to 1.25 but that amendment


failed 297-134.
Im afraid to trust this group, Pauly
said. 230-202. Is that whats going to be
for this final thing where we get into a 1.65
multiplier that I know isnt going to work
and is going to lead to lawsuits? Thats
ridiculous.
Len Collyard, the athletic director at
Kettle Moraine Lutheran, proposed an
amendment calling for the number of
open enrolled students at public schools
be doubled in those schools enrollment
figures. It failed on a hand vote.
This will divide the membership,
Chris Zwettler, the athletic director at
Madison Edgewood, said of the multiplier.
It will divide the conferences that weve
worked so hard to build the last 10 years.
This will divide it if we vote on it and it
will not be uniform.
Reducer fails too
The discussion on the reducer petition wasnt lengthy, but it hinged on the
correlation between poverty and athletic
participation within a school district.
Under the reducer plan, a teams enrollment for divisional placement purposes
would have been determined by an X-(Y
x 0.4) = Z formula with X equaling the
schools enrollment, Y equaling the number of students on free or reduced lunch
and Z being the final enrollment figure.
Our district is at 65 percent on free and
reduced lunch, Ashland athletic director Brian Miller said. There is no factor,
as weve done surveys for participation
numbers in Ashland, that has any more
effect on numbers of kids coming out for
sports than the poverty level. We live in
the poorest county in Wisconsin, Ashland

Loyal boys second, Rocket girls third at 12-team Auburndale meet


Loyal senior Morgan Malm and Spencer senior Rachel
Zastrow once again paced their teams to high finishes,
this time at the April 24 Auburndale Invitational. Malm
won both boys hurdle events, took second in the high
jump and ran a leg for the second-place Greyhound 4x400meter relay team, while Zastrow swept the girls hurdle
races and took second in the pole vault.
The Loyal boys teams 91 points were second only to
Wausau Newmans 162. Marshfield Columbus took third
with 85 and Stratford was fourth with 70. In the girls
meet, Newman scored 170.5 points to take team honors
while Stratford (143) was second, Spencer (125.5) took
third and Auburndale (96) was fourth. The Spencer boys
team (39) placed ninth of 12 teams and the Loyal girls (5)
placed 11th.
Zastrow edged Newmans Carly Maves by .53 seconds
to win the 100-meter hurdle race, then held off Wisconsin Rapids Assumptions Autumn Linzmeier by a scant
two-hundredths of a second to take the 300-meter hurdle
race. Zastrow cleared 86 in the pole vault as teammate
Johanna Ellefson took first in the event at 9.
Several other Rocket girls had strong performances to
help the team to the third-place finish. Junior Nadia King
had an especially impressive day, winning the 400-meter
race and taking second in the 200-meter dash. Senior
Paige Lawrence was right behind King in the 400-meter
race to take second place and help the Rockets to 18 team
points in the one event. Senior Abby Varsho also was a
first-place finisher, in the high jump, with a best effort of
410. Other Rockets adding team points were:
-- Liz Endreas: third, 100-meter hurdles; fifth, 300-meter
hurdles; sixth, long jump
-- Jessica Burt: third, shot put; fourth, discus
-- Jordyn Wichlacz: fifth, 100-meter dash; ninth, triple
jump
-- Sam Fuehrer: fifth, 800-meter run
-- Kaily Northup: seventh, 100-meter dash
-- Sabrina Vircks, seventh, high jump
-- Logan Schafer: eighth, 1600-meter run
-- The 4X200-meter relay team of Ellefson, Faber, Northup and Varsho, third
-- The 4X100-meter relay team of Wichlacz, Ellefson,
Lauren Faber and Jenna Rogers, fifth
-- The 4X800-meter relay team of Fuehrer, Schafer,
Brittany Fitzgerald and McKenna Brecht, sixth
Malm, the defending Division 4 state champ in the
110-meter hurdles, again blew away the competition for
a pair of first places. He ran the 110-meter finals in 15.76
to beat second-place Jordan Michalske of Newman by
more than a full second. In the 300-meter race, he ran a
40.53-second race to top Christian Payant of Columbus by
more than two seconds. In the high jump, Malm cleared
6, the same height as event winner Reegan Anderson of
Almond-Bancroft, but needed more attempts to do it and
settled for second place.
Senior Lane Meyer also had another strong day for
Loyal, winning the 400-meter dash in 53.67 seconds. Assumptions Nate Weisenbeck was second in 56.11. Meyer
also took third in the 200-meter dash in 23.94 seconds, or
just .78 seconds off the winning pace set by Jake Gajewski
of Newman. Logan Genteman took second for Loyal in

Administrative reports:
Mrs. Schulz:
-- Reading Incentive Committee: On Wednesday, April 1, the
Reading Incentive Committee held its culminating event for the
school year. All of the students met in the cafeteria for time to read
and enjoyed milk and cookies. Before the students left to head back
to class the students who had met their reading goal all six months of
the challenge were recognized. Thank you to Emily Bissonette and
Connie Schroedel, and the rest of the committee, for their organization of events throughout the year.
-- Elementary leadership team: The elementary leadership team
has been reorganized for 2015-2016. This team will have a member
from each grade level. I have met with each grade level PLC (Professional Learning Community) to discuss what the goals of this team
will be. The bulk of the work of this team will be done in the summer.
We will be analyzing data on achievement, attendance, growth, and
we look at this data through many different lenses. For example, we
will look at our overall growth data but then we will break it down into
subgroups and look at growth data for our economically disadvantaged students compared to the student body as a whole. From this
analysis of data we will set our overall elementary school SMART
goals for the 2015-2016 school year. The school goals that are set
will then guide the individual teacher goals that are set (their SLOs
or Student Learning Objectives). Another goal of this team will be to
determine the six priorities (specific ideas) that need to be worked
on throughout the school year to meet these goals. Research states
that an organization or individual cannot work on more than six new
items at a time and still be successful. This team will then meet quarterly during the school year to evaluate data to see how we are doing
at meeting our school-wide goals.
-- Attendance: Perfect attendance for third quarter and the full
year, through three quarters, were recognized this week. We have
111 (30 percent) students with perfect third quarter attendance and
35 (10 percent) with perfect full-year attendance. Four letters were
sent to parents of students who have missed more than 10 percent
of school days; three of these were second notices and one was a
first notice.
-- Assessment calendar: Mrs. Schulz shared a calendar of the
assessments that will be happening district-wide in the next two
months.
Mr. Zanotelli:
-- NHS banquet: On March 30, the annual NHS banquet was held
at the Belvedere Supper Club. A special thank you to the Spencer
Lions Club, Belvedere Supper Club and the Spencer PTA for their
sponsorship of this event. I would also like to thank Mr. Benton for all
of his time and effort with this organization. The banquet ran well and
once again we had very good attendance.
-- Cloverbelt scholar banquet: Congratulations to Faith Becker
and Seanna Mueller for their selection as Spencer's 2015 Cloverbelt
Conference scholars. The banquet was held in Greenwood on Tuesday night, April 7. Each student chose a teacher to attend with them,
they were Ruby Thomas and Abbi Roehrborn.
-- Choir and Band Festival: We are hosting the Choir and Band
Festival here at Spencer High School the next two Thursday nights.
A thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Veale for the work on this event and for
showcasing Spencer Schools once again.
-- Quarter ends: We are officially in the fourth quarter. Seniors
now have six weeks left capping off their high school careers with

Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - Tribune Record Gleaner - Page 15


graduation on May 16. We will again be looking at streaming the
graduation ceremony with a link on our Web page.
-- Honoring excellence banquet: Congratulations to Allison Farrell
and Rachel Zastrow on being selected to represent Spencer at the
Marathon County Honoring Excellence Banquet. This banquet is being held in Marathon on April 22.
-- ACT testing: Students have gotten their individual scores back
for the ACT testing that was done a number of weeks ago. We have
not gotten our school report yet on how the students have done overall. I will keep you informed of how our students did when we first get
it so it might need to be presented in closed session if they stipulate
when the release date is for the general public.
Mr. Endreas:
