$1
Clark Board OKs loan

to pay for radio system
ambulance units throughout the county.
Ross urged supervisors to approve
the funding plan for the system. The old
network is not functioning adequately, he
said, with units in the field -- especially in
the northern areas of the county -- often
unable to adequately communicate with
dispatchers in times of emergencies.
This system we have right now is failing. Its failing in a big way, Ross said.
Supervisor Mark Renderman, Withee,
who serves with the Owen-Withee area fire
and EMS units, said he knows first-hand
about existing communication problems.
In one recent instance, he said, an ambulance unit responding to a medical
emergency thought it was approved for
an advanced life support transfer, but misheard a message due to the radio issues.
Its happened on our current system.

Driver gets jail time for OWI ambulance crash

A Loyal man who was driving drunk
when he plowed into the Greenwood ambulance injuring two EMTs in June 2013
will spend 90 days in jail and pay more
than $4,000 in fines and restitution. Kevin
Colby, 36, will also have his drivers license
revoked for 18 months and be placed on
probation for two years, with a chance to
apply for early release after one year if he
meets all conditions. He will not, however,
be ordered to pay more than $117,000 in
restitution to the insurance company that
replaced the Greenwood ambulance unit
after it was wrecked in the accident on
Highway 73 near Christie.
Portage County Circuit Court Judge
John Finn on Dec. 17 accepted a plea deal
arranged by Clark County District Attorney Lyndsey Boon Brunette and Colbys
attorney, Damon Stichert. Under the
agreement, Colby pleaded no contest to
two counts of causing injury while operating a vehicle while under the influence of
alcohol at a level greater than .15 percent.
Two similar charges were dismissed.
Boon Brunette recommended a 90-day
jail sentence, along with probation, a $300
fine on each charge, the 18-month driver
license revocation, an 18-month period in
which Colbys vehicle must be equipped
with an ignition interlock device, an
alcohol assessment, and $3,662 in restitution to the EMTs who were injured in the
crash. The case was scheduled to go to
a jury trial on Dec. 17, but the deal was

reached a few days before.
The crash happened on Highway 73 just
north of Christie on the night of June 8,
2013. According to the criminal complaint,
Colby was traveling west on County Road
H in a car with his wife when he failed
to stop at a stop sign at Highway 73. He
went through the intersection, without
applying his brakes, according to an accident reconstruction, and struck the rear
passenger side corner of the ambulance,
which was headed north on Highway 73.
The ambulance, driven by Delmond Horn,
was heading back to Greenwood shortly
before 4 a.m. after a run to the Neillsville
Memorial Medical Center. Two EMTs in
the rear of the ambulance, Denet Oldham
and Roberta Hanson, were injured when
the crash impact knocked the ambulance
onto its side and sent iy sliding approximately 200 feet down Highway 73.
Boon Brunette described the accident
as a very severe crash with significant
injuries. She noted that Colby, when questioned by police at the scene, did not know
where he was. His blood alcohol level was
.184 percent when a blood draw was taken
at the hospital some time after the crash.
The accident reconstruction estimated
Colbys vehicle was traveling at 40-44 mph
when it hit the ambulance, and that Colby
apparently made no attempt to apply the
brakes. The ambulance was moving at 52-
54 mph, and was struck near the passenger

side rear wheel. The unit was totaled and
had to be replaced.
After issuing an apology to the victims
on behalf of Colby, Stichert told Judge
Finn that Colby has no prior record of
traffic violations nor criminal behavior.
Hes got a clean record, Judge,
Stichert said.
Stichert also said Colby has complied
with all terms of his bond in the year and a
half since the accident and has completed
alcohol counseling.
Mr. Colby is a hard-working family
man is the best way to put it, Stichert
said. He works hard to provide for his
family.
Stichert said Colby would pay restitution immediately to cover the medical
expenses of the injured EMTs, but the plea
agreement included no restitution to the
insurance company that bought Greenwood a new ambulance. Court records
show that amount at $117,863.
That amount would just shipwreck
this family and result in their financial
demise, Stichert said.
While Boon Brunette asked for two
years of probation, Stichert said one
would suffice as Colby has already met
bond conditions for 18 months.
I dont think another two years would

Clark County will press forward with a

$4.7 million project to build a new public
safety communication system, funded by a
$3 million loan, $1.1 million of accelerated
county forest timber harvests, and possible
grant dollars. A tentative plan timeline
calls for construction of new towers and
other infrastructure to take place over
the next two years, with the system to be
functional in 2017.
The county Board of Supervisors on
Dec. 16 approved the most important
piece of funding for the project -- a $3 million loan at 3.25 percent interest over 10
years. The estimated annual repayment
amount of $356,000 is not expected to add
to property tax rates because the county
this spring will retire the last of its existing debt, which it was repaying at $379,000
per year.
The Board needed to pass two measures
on Dec. 16 to move the project forward. The
first resolution, to borrow the $3 million
from the State of Wisconsin Trust Fund,
passed on a 20-9 vote. It needed a simple
majority, or 15 votes, for passage.
The second resolution, to amend the
countys already-passed 2015 budget, needed a two-thirds majority, or 20 votes for passage. It passed on a 23-6 count. Supervisors
voting against it were Tom Wilcox, Curtiss;
Al Bower, Willard; Kevin Froeba, Loyal;
Byrl Dahl, Chili; Duane Boon, Neillsville;
and Fritz Garbisch, Granton.
The county Board in July passed a
resolution to authorize the new communication system, but that measure
included no funding mechanism. Since
then, the Boards Finance Committee devised the plan of a loan, increased timber
harvests, and possible grants to pay for
the new system. With its old communications network not working properly and
deadlines nearing for when the county
will get no maintenance support for it, the
county needed to move forward to start
new construction.
Noting that five months have already
passed since the initial Board approval
for the system, emergency management
director John Ross said last week, The
longer we wait, the harder its going to be
to meet the end-of-life deadlines.
Those deadlines include a January 2016
date when TDS Telecom will no longer support the countys old 911 emergency call
equipment. As of 2017, Motorola will no
longer service the equipment for the radio
network that keeps Sheriffs Department
dispatchers in contact with police, fire and

Kulp receives several Assembly

committee assignments
On Dec. 12, Representative Bob Kulp
(R-Stratford) was selected to chair the
Assembly Committee on Mining and Rural Development. This past Friday, Kulp
received the rest of his Assembly Committee Assignments. Kulp has been appointed
to: Jobs and the Economy, Labor, State
Affairs and Government Operations, and
Workforce Development.
My background as a business owner,
employer and involvement with economic
development will allow me to bring some
real world perspective to these committees, said Kulp. In some of the committees, we will be addressing issues that
came before us last session. Having prior
experience in those committees will be

Ideas abound for lowering UW system costs

The post-World War II baby boom swept
into American colleges in the 1960s, driving up total taxpayer costs and sending
officials looking for financial answers.
Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa, was
making headlines. It was enrolling thousands of students, many of them who had
attended other schools and were getting
a second chance. At one point, Parsons
College reportedly was paying the highest
faculty salaries in America.
Wisconsin business leaders decided
Parsons might have the financial answers
for the states public universities. Companies dispatched their corporate planes to
Madison to take officials, legislators and
reporters for a junket to Iowa.
What they found was a year-round trimester program and faculty required to
spend most of their time in classrooms.
The college had a limited number of academic majors. Before the decade was done,
Life magazine printed an expose of the
college and it lost its accreditation. The
college went bankrupt in 1973.
Finding ways to make the University
of Wisconsin system campuses more costefficient for taxpayers and reducing time to
graduation for students recently bounced
back into the news when University of
Wisconsin System President Ray Cross
announced public meetings on how UW
does business. The sessions will be held
across the state. He also promised faculty
and students would have input into any
recommendations.
Among the topics to be discussed, he
suggested, were the number of credits
required to get a degree, verifying the
necessity of low-enrollment courses, and
the amount of faculty time spent outside
the classrooms. One new business practice

would be to establish uniform workload
guidelines, according to Cross.
The faculty time obviously goes to
how many hours faculty are in the classroom. The Parsons College faculty of the
1960s spent most of the work week in the
classroom.
Research also may be a target. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, wants
more of the university research to focus on
topics to help the states
economy.
The university system
is seeking an additional
$95 million in taxpayer
money in the next state
budget bill. But the Legislature already is facing
a significant budget hole
and business groups, led
by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce,
Matt
want a $250-million reducPommer tion in the top personal
income tax. The WMC is
a key financial ally of Republicans.
Cross series of public meetings may
be an attempt to placate Republicans who
control all aspects of state government.
But how young people and faculty think
may be a difficult thing to change.
Students could graduate faster, it is
said, if they didnt change their academic major. Parents might think that is
a swell idea, but they know many young
people change their minds. Should they
be charged extra tuition if they change
majors?
Changes in the way the university
does business involves lots of people
and special interests. A prime example is

the state law, passed at the urging of the
tourism industry, that bars the autumn
start of public schools and universities
until September.
But changes may come. Decades ago,
UW-Madison faculty approved giving fall
semester finals before, rather than after,
Christmas. Faculty said they would lose
class time, but it noted classes could be an
extra five minutes. It was accepted after
a veteran faculty member said it could
force faculty to review and update their
lecture notes.
He said that could really, really help
education.

4 p.m. - Saturday mass
A few years back, we had driven up to

the Pipe Lake Chicken Dinner, just west of
Cumberland. While waiting for our turn to
eat, I looked around and saw a table full of
produce and decided to check it out. There
was a pile of rutabagas, so I thought there
was no better place to buy them, but right
close to the rutabaga capitol.
When I got home and examined them a
bit closer, I found a little sticker on them.
It read, Product of Canada. I did inquire
and was informed they dont even have
a rutabaga warehouse anymore. I cant
say too much, as our canning factory is
gone, but we still celebrate the Corn Fest
every fall.
As I was checking my list of column

ideas, I found one that was left over
from the candidate forum held before
the November election. A couple of the
unopposed candidates had been asked if
they thought it was necessary for them to
belong to a political party. Both answered
that they considered their job was to serve
the people of the county and are never
asked which party, if any, they belonged to.
I would like to take that a step further
and ask why are we still electing certain
county employees? I dont know of any
city that elects their police chief. So why
are we still electing someone to be our
sheriff ?
The same can be said about our other
county officials. We dont elect the head
of the social services department, or the
extension office, for example.
We establish a list of qualifications
and try to hire the best qualified person.
Why do we hold elections and stand the
chance of electing a person to an office just
because we like the way they look or talk.
It is a system that goes back to the time
our state was formed and it is time we
change an old antiquated law.
The big news today was the announcement that President Obama had lifted the
embargo against Cuba. My first reaction
was similar to that of the man answering
the door when the Jimmy John delivery
person arrived. What took you so long?
Putting the embargo in place 50 some
years ago probably served a good purpose.
At the time, we were in a cold war and
Russian missile bases, 90 miles from our
shores, was for sure a threat. Nothing was
gained, but we held those people in poor
economy conditions. Meanwhile, another
president got us in a war in the middle
east and we have paid with thousands of
American lives and trillions of American
tax dollars.

Merry Christmas to all! For those who

are first reading this after Christmas, I can
only hope you had a blessed and joyous
holiday with family and/or friends.
The holiday season gives us plenty of
opportunity to wish everyone the best.
Someone is always going to ask why we
cant be that friendly and kind hearted
the rest of the year and only seem to show
our good spirits at Christmas time. Its a
good question and only you can answer it.
Sometimes you get asked a question

you think everyone knows the answer to.
Recently, every time we went to the clinic,
they had to ask if we had visited western
Africa lately. I would expect that just about
everyone answers no, but they still just
have to ask the question.
It reminded me of an incident that
happened to us a number of years ago. We
were staying in a condo in Texas, which
had a strange policy. They only wanted
people to pay their rent on the 19th of the
month. Everywhere else we have stayed
wanted all their money when we arrived.
On the day I went to pay, a new person
was working the front desk and set about
to bill us for the next months rest. I
thought he was having problems with our
credit card when he handed me the phone.
The person on the other end wanted to
know if we had been to Japan lately.
I explained we had been right here in
Texas all the time. He then told me he had
inquired because we had a camera worth
$1,500 charged to our account in Japan.
It was the only time we have ever had
a problem and the credit card company
quickly dropped the charge for the camera,
but began the process of getting us a new
account number.
Another strange question came the

other day when I stopped at a store and
bought a couple of rutabagas. It seems just
natural, as we have bought a lot of them
over the years.
As I checked out, the man wanted to
know how we fixed them. Did we just cook
them? No, I said, we use them in making
stew. It is something I grew up with. My
mother never made us eat just cooked
rutabaga. Florence claims she spoiled us
rotten and only made things to eat that
we liked. That may be so, but I sure liked
everything she made.
There is another rutabaga story I need
to share with you. I came from near Cumberland, which claims to be the Rutabaga
Capitol. In the fall, just as we have the
Corn Festival, they celebrate their Rutabaga Festival.

BBB gives tips for hassle-free gift returns and exchanges

BBB has the following advice for
hassle-free returns and exchanges:
Keep your receipts. If youre giving
the purchase as a gift, ask for a gift receipt and enclose it with the present to
facilitate returning the gift.
Read the retailers return policy before you purchase products. Make sure
you understand whether you, or the
recipient of your gift, can get a refund,
exchange or store credit for unwanted
merchandise.
Monitor the return clock. Many retailers may only allow returns within a
certain time frame and that time frame
usually begins when the item is purchased, not when it is given.
Understand return policies for sale

Dont think of him as gone away. Life holds so many

facets, this Earth was only one. Just think of him as
resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of
warmth and comfort. Where there are no days and
years. Think how he must be wishing
that we would know today how
nothing but our sadness can really
pass away. And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched. For
nothing ever loved is lost and he was
loved so much.

MILWAUKEE -- Dec. 26 is a big day for

after Christmas sales, but it is a bigger
day for gift returns and exchanges.
Not every retailer has the same return policy and some businesses even
implement separate policies around special sales and holidays, said Ran Hoth,
CEO and president. BBB encourages you
to read and understand all policies that
come with your purchases. Remember,
the clock starts ticking the day you buy
the gift, not the day you give the gift.
According to the National Retail
Federation, one in three consumers (38
percent) are expected to return at least
some portion of their holiday gifts. The
same survey indicated that nearly three
in 10 (29 percent) consumers dont carefully read return and exchange policies
when initially making a purchase in a
We think about you always, we talk about you still.

You have never been forgotten, Dad, and you never will.
We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain.

I dont want to see it happen again, Renderman said.
Supervisor Marcia Hochhalter, Abbotsford, said Clark County must address its
aging 911 service equipment. Like many
other counties, Clark has obsolete equipment that could go down any day.
I dont want to be the county that
fails, she said.
In response to supervisor questions
about the need to spend $4.7 million, Ross
said the county hired two consultants to
study the countys needs, and to come up
with plans for a system that will work the
best, not cost the most.
What we put in the minds of the consultants was, we dont want the Cadillac.
We dont want the bare bones. We want
whats most cost-effective, thats going to
address the issues. We could spend a lot
more money, Ross said.
Wilcox said he thinks the county can
get buy for less money, without buying a
Cadillac.
Im thinking theres a Chevy Impala
somewhere on the lot that can do the job,
Wilcox said.
Supervisor Randy Sebesta, Neillsville,
also questioned the need to replace the
entire old system, when parts of it might
function for years without issues.
Why do we have to replace all the receivers at the same time? Sebesta said.
Why not replace them as they go out?
Ross said the old equipment will not
be under any service contract as of 2017,
and the county may not even be able to get
parts if a component fails. He also said its
advisable to replace all components now,
so were not in emergency replacement
mode when something fails.
Sheriff Greg Herrick said the old system definitely has problems, and a new
system will help dispatchers talk with
units on calls. However, he added, he understands the financial implications of a
$4.7 million expense.
Ill take it right now and we can use
it, Herrick said of the new system. The
question is, can we afford it? The north
end needs it. How are we going to pay for
it in 20 years when youve got to rebuild it
Ross said the specifications for the new
system will include language calling for
a system with a 20-year life span. Bower
asked how the county can know how long
it will be good, especially with such rapid
advancements in technology.
Things are changing so much on the
technology, what are you buying? Bower
said.
Supervisor Rodger Ashbeck, Greenwood, who is the Finance Committee
chairman, said the county has waited long
enough and should start the project. The
package of the loan and timber revenues
will cover the bulk of the expense, with no
tax increase needed, he said.
I think we have to move ahead with
the project, Ashbeck said. If we get any
grant at all, were going to be OK.
The county has already applied for one
grant that could cover as much as $1 million of the project. Word on that application isnt expected until at least March.
Supervisor Dale Mitte, Neillsville,
urged support for the funding plan as he
said an emergency radio system is an essential item that protects citizens in times
of need.
Its a system that every one of us
sooner or later is going to use, Mitte said.

be necessary to reform his behavior,
Stichert said.
Finn noted that he was not bound to
accept the plea deal, but said the jail sentence, probation, license revocation and
restitution would be appropriate given
the severity of the accident and the need
to protect society. Colbys clean record is
a factor for him to consider, Finn said, as
a first drunk driving conviction in Wisconsin is normally a simple traffic case.
Had there been no injuries, this would
not even have been a criminal matter,

Finn said.
Finn placed Colby on probation for two
years, but ordered that he may apply for
early discharge after one year if he has
met all conditions.
He has shown while hes on bond that
hes not a danger to the public, Finn said.
Colby is to begin serving the 90-day jail
sentence within 60 days of the Dec. 17 sentencing hearing. He will have Huber Law
release privileges for work and child care.

Pins, forfeits boost Rocket wrestlers to upset of NGL

The outcome of Spencers Dec. 18
Cloverbelt Conference wrestling match
against Neillsville-Greenwood-Loyal
was still in doubt when Rocket freshman
Hunter Luepke took the mat against
the Warriors Andrew Buchanan at 195
pounds. Spencer had a 12-point team lead,
but was going to forfeit the final two weight
classes. The match would come down to
the Luepke-Buchanan showdown.
Luepke wasted little time in determining which team would win. He put Buchanan on his back briefly in the first period
for a 7-1 lead, then dominated throughout
the second period before recording the fall
at 3:50. The pin gave Spencer a 39-21 lead
and its forfeits in the 220- and 285-pound
weight classes were still not enough for
NGL to rally.
Six of the 14 weight classes in the
match were determined by forfeits. Each
team received 18 points on three forfeit
wins, leaving the match to be decided by
the eight contested contests. Each team
won four of those, but Spencer earned the
points it needed win via three pins. NGL
got only one pin on the night.
The match started at 106 pounds,
with NGL sophomore Skylar Barth getting the lone NGL pin of the night over
Spencer freshman Dominick Wichlacz
in 2:56. NGL went on to sweep the three
lightweight classes to take a 12-0 match
lead. At 112 pounds, Warrior sophomore
Kyle Gurney scored a 10-5 decision over
Spencer freshman Bryce Shaw, and NGL
freshman Dylan Nielsen followed with an
8-2 decision over Spencer freshman Caden

It's not easy disappointing people year after year

Frankie Valli record collection? You know she could
benefit from a boxed gift set containing soap, floral
perfume sample and deodorant. Any scent will do
-- lavender is always nice, fruit & honey, rose petal,
citrus -- but keep in mind that you can usually save
a few bucks with straight bleach. What? Grandma's
nose hasn't worked since Eisenhower was battlin'
Commies. Wrap it up, slap a bow on it and get on
with your life already.
2.) Clearly ... calendars. Whoever planned this
whole Christmas thing did us all a favor by plopping it right at the end of the year, so take advantage
of the convenience and buy everybody on your list
a new calendar, whether you think they'll make it
to the end of the coming year or not (I mean, that's
really not your primary concern right now). They
have whole stores these days that sell only calendars, and you can find one that fits everyone on
your list. For that freaky cousin who thinks zombies
are real, there's the Walking Dead calendar. Gotta'
little sister who loves animals? There are kitten
calendars and puppy calendars and goat calendars
and African baby calendars. There are pin-up girl
calendars for your hormone-jacked nephews,
spiritual poetry calendars for Aunt Margaret (she
memorized all the verses on the calendar you gave
her last year), and Green Bay Packers calendars for
that second cousin who had his lungs dyed green
and gold 'cuz he just loves da Packers so much.
One key here -- don't give everybody a calendar
in any given year. That'll make it look like you're
taking the easy way out. Don't get me wrong, you
are, you just don't want anybody to notice. Appearances are everything.
3.) The Gift Card Gamble -- yeah, yeah, I
know, anybody who has ever given a gift card as a
Christmas gift says, "That way he/she can go and
buy whatever he/she wants," but that's just holiday
gabble for "I have no reason why this person is on
my list and I have no intention of spending two
seconds thinking about what he/she might like."
Two thoughts here -- A.) If this person is your
mother, perhaps you need to rethink your Christ-
THE
BORN
LESAR
by TRG Editor Dean Lesar
mas spirit a bit because this is the person who gave
you life and guided you to be the man/woman you
are today, and 2.) But Mom really likes the bread
bowl salads at Perkins and this way she could go
whenever she wants and it would really save me a
trip to the mall to get something from that list she
gave me. I mean, really, a "Life Alert" pendant?
Who's got time to get that?
Personally, I don't give gift cards, mainly
because you can't get 'em for 90 percent off at
Goodwill. I mean, why give cash, basically, when a
pair of well broken-in slippers with possible toenail
fungus remnants will do just as well?
4.) A picture (frame) is worth a thousand
words ... To be effectively cheap and superficial
for Christmas, you have to think ahead. I carry a
camera to family functions throughout the year
and snap candid shots of folks stuffing their faces
with burgers on the Fourth of July and looking
at their wristwatches during Uncle Herman's
funeral eulogy, and then I have reprints made,
buy marked-down plastic frames at garage sales,
put 'em together, wrap 'em up and call them gifts.
Makes me look thoughtful, you know, like I care
about family members and strive to give them
personalized presents, when the truth is I can get
'em crossed off my list for less change than it takes
to buy a scratch-off at Kwick-Mart. The thing about
this idea is that everybody has an ego problem, so
give 'em a picture of themselves and you subcon-

sciously enter their mind as a person of

genuine kindness, not the gratuitous lout
you really are. Hey, you might be able to
use it against 'em someday. Be patient.
5.) Never, ever, over-achieve. My last
tip for you is by far the most important,
and if you heed it, no one will ever be
disappointed with a gift you've given
them. And by "ever" I mean just this
year, because really, who remembers
what you gave 'em last year anyway?
I mean, at least in my family, by the
time we open presents we've passed the
bottle of eggnog-flavored vodka around
so many times we don't know if we got the new
Taylor Swift CD from our brother-in-law or if we
stole it from our sister's dresser when we put our
coats on the bed.
Anyway, the point here is this -- never, under
any circumstances, even if you find the ultimate,
most perfect gift ever possible for a particular
person, should you buy it and give it to them.
Yeah, sure, you will thrill them beyond belief on
Christmas day, their lives will be enriched for the
entire coming year and their faith in mankind will
be replenished, but then next year, when you give
them a "Playful Puppies" calendar, they're gonna
look at you with blank eyes and say, "What's this?
I thought you liked me?"
It's tough to tell them then, well, no, they really
were never one of your favorite parents, so it's best
to avoid this situation and always give gifts that
disappoint the recipients and leave them thinking
"Cripes, does he really think that little of me that
he'd give me a 'Quality Septic Service' gift card
four years in a row?"
No, see, it's not that you wanted to, it's just that
you're thinking ahead, to next year, because it's
easy to make somebody happy every Christmas
if you really consider their desires and spend the
time to find that perfect gift. Disappointing them
every year, that's not so easy, but I do my best.
And who says I got no holiday spirit?

Over a long and sorta' slimy career of giving useless and insincere Christmas gifts to
family members, friends, co-workers and the
occasional neighborhood stray cat (hey, they're
people, too), I've developed some rather highlyhoned skills for picking out those presents that
are cheap yet capable of making the recipient
think "What the hell is this supposed to mean?"
as they set it on the pile of socks, mittens, CDs,
candles, ornaments and Best Buy gift cards they
received from the more normal people in their
lives. Yeah, it's true, I once gave somebody dog
poop in a Hamburger Helper box. Somehow it
seemed appropriate at the time.
Since I didn't buy you anything worthwhile
again this year -- which is sort of the point of all
this, in case you haven't caught on yet -- I'm going to pass on a few pointers to help you whittle
down that backlog of hard-to-buy-for people on
your holiday gift list. Rest assured these tips are
tried and true, and very few of them are likely
to land you in jail or even result in disorderly
conduct citations. I can't rule out a site visit
from Homeland Security on some of the distant
redneck cousin ideas, but really, keeping us all
safe from basement-manufactured explosives is
what the holidays are all about.
Here then, in no particular order, are my hints
for taking care of everybody on your list without
ever really having to know their names. In fact,
a lotta times, it really helps.
1.) For anyone, from your creepy uncle with
the big mole on his cheek that sports a single,
ropy, long black hair that hasn't been trimmed
since the early 1970s, to the Goth niece that you
only see once a year because most of her time
is spent in Red Bull rehab, give the gift of odor.
That's right, perfume, cologne, body gel, spray
spritzers, Fabreze patches, scented baby wipes
-- you can never miss with making somebody
smell better, and in most cases, they need it. You
know that grandma that reeks like that dried
mouse carcass you found in the attic behind your

The Joe 2014

Hello friends,
The following is a story about KAMO (www.kidsandmentorsoutdoors.
org) and our annual Joe deer hunt, which was recently held at Mackenzie
Environmental Education Center and the State Game Farm at Poynette,
as well as, several private properties!
I am going to write this weeks column a bit differently to try to show
you how many people volunteer for this awesome three-day experience.
Dec. 12
There are 20 hunters, about 25 mentors, around six kitchen helpers, and
three whatever the heck we can get out of them volunteers.
Jerry Absher is a mentor and today is a bonus day for the young hunters, as perhaps 10 of the 20 kids were able to miss a little school and hunt
this afternoon. Under almost balmy conditions Jerry, who is in KAMOs
newest chapter The Lake Wisconsin Chapter of KAMO, guides 13-year-old
Cody Colstad into a successful shot and our first deer is on the pole for
our 2014 hunt.
Friday night all the kids go through the final hour of a safety class, which
is given by Columbia County Conservation Warden, Ryan Volenberg, and
also a biology class given by Sarah Kerhli who is WDNRs wildlife biologist for Columbia County.
After words its brownies and ice cream for everyone, earlier it was
homemade beef stew. As is always the case, these kids who come from
all over the state and do not know each other have become a pack and a
weekend long snowball fight begins.
Dec. 13 -- high 46, low 34
Its 4 a.m! The unsung heroes of this event are Jeff and Patti Rouse,
Cheryl Manning, Rachel Voecks and Jeff Anderson.
These folks cook all weekend and the food is excellent. They ask for
nothing and put in very long hours. Each young hunter signs up on the
chore list and they help with dishes, sweep floors, and clean bathrooms.
Daylight, I am up in a 20-foot tower stand with first-time hunter 11-yearold Megan Meggie Jones. Meggies twin sister, Madison Maddie, is on
her first hunt with her dad, A.J., mentoring her. Maddie and A.J. are in
another tower stand on the same piece of private property.
Mike and Colleen Murphy are the landowners whose property we are
hunting. To say the least they really want the girls to harvest their first deer.
A very rare occurrence takes place and it is possibly due to the balmy
conditions. No one harvests a deer.
At Mackenzie, Hunt Master Kevin Seymour who is mentoring Seth
Anderson sees a monster buck with five doe. Kevin knows his deer and
figures the buck is in the 160-170-inch class. The deer are close but a safe
shot is not available.
Two hours later, Pete Goethel and 15-year-old Kate Onell see the Mackenzie Monster and its girlfriends and it comes within 15 yards but a shot
is not available.
Kate Onell wanted her first deer and hunted every hour of daylight but
the one for lunch.
Saturday afternoon hunt! Megan Jones is the definition of tough and
positive! She can climb this tower stand like a monkey and has no fear.
She has not seen a deer after three hunts and always says, maybe the next
hunt and she is now aware that her mentor is kind of crazy!
Rick Miotke is the president of the Baraboo Chapter of KAMO and
another person that puts in some major hours putting this hunt together.
Rick is mentoring Brent Littlegeorge and tonight Brent harvested two
mature doe.
No other deer were harvested this afternoon, which is very rare. Tonight it was lasagna and then a presentation by Jerry Bethke, who manages Soaring Eagle Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Jerry has brought in
a Great Horned Owl and a Screech Owl and gives the kids an excellent
presentation on injured birds of prey and how they live their lives before
and after an injury.
The following morning only one deer is harvested and that is by Kate
Onell, as she made an excellent shot on a nubby buck. Kate was so proud
of her first deer that she was going to get a European mount done on it.
If there is anyone out there that does not understand why a weekend
opportunity like this should be offered to our youth perhaps you should
come join us next year. You will change your mind.
KAMO rocks please help us grow! Sunset!

from some constituents about the 9 p.m. siren, being loud and disturbing sleep. The 9 p.m. siren was put into place many years ago for
the city's curfew; the curfew is now 11. After much discussion it was
motioned by Domanico, and seconded by Nelson, to discontinue the
9 siren effective Dec. 1, 2014. Roll call vote: Nelson -- aye, Susa
-- nay, Domanico -- aye, Fitzl -- nay. The vote was tied having the

Reimbursement for computer work. Council member Fitzl and
Mayor Schecklman have been working on the city's computers on
Saturdays installing new programs and training. They are asking the
Council how they felt about reimbursing them for their time. The cost

city and install these programs. Currently the city does not have a
policy for reimbursement for this type of work. We currently pay Infitech $85/hour.

Partnership Program launches Obesity Prevention Initiative

The Wisconsin Partnership Program
at the University of Wisconsin School of
Medicine and Public Health has committed more than $8.6 million to address the
states obesity epidemic. The Wisconsin
Obesity Prevention Initiative will include
community-based research, initially in
Marathon and Menominee counties.
Obesity is one of the most complex
issues of our time, said Dr. Alexandra Adams, professor of family medicine at the
School of Medicine and Public Health. To
have a lasting impact, it must be addressed
in a meaningful, systematic and coordinated way. Everyone has a role in this,
and unless there is a measurable level of
success in preventing obesity, the states
health systems will be overwhelmed.
A five-year $7.5 million grant from

the Partnership Education and Research
Committee will provide the infrastructure for bringing together government
entities, communities, researchers,
non-profit organizations and businesses.
Grant funding also will be used to develop
a childhood obesity surveillance system
and create statewide messaging that helps
residents understand how daily decisions affect their health. Dr. Adams is the
principal investigator for the grant and
leads a team of faculty and community
investigators.
In collaboration with health officials
in Marathon and Menominee counties,
researchers will use a $1.1 million grant
from the Partnership Programs Over-
sight and Advisory Committee to test and

implement a community-based model for
childhood obesity prevention. Dr. Brian
Christens, associate professor of human
ecology at UW-Madison, is the principal
investigator for this first phase of community work.
Dr. Adams and other UW-Madison
faculty members have a long history of
partnership with the two counties, and
they will build on their relationships with
community leaders, state and local health
department staff members, and other local residents.
Obesity is a major risk factor for type
2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer and other diseases. According to preliminary data from the Survey of the
Health of
Wisconsin,
72 percent of

a d u l t s a re
overweight

or obese. There is limited information

about the weight of children; however,
data suggests that 25 percent of Wisconsin
high school students and 31 percent of
children two to four years old are overweight or obese (compared to 12 percent
and 5 percent, respectively, 50 years ago).
UW-Madison has the opportunity -- if
not the responsibility -- to take a leading
role in the research, treatment and prevention of obesity-related disease, said
Dr. Robert Golden, dean of the School of
Medicine and Public Health. The Obesity
Prevention Initiative brings together UWMadison faculty and staff members across
the full research spectrum to work alongside community members in addressing
this complex issue.
The Wisconsin Partnership Program
represents a far-reaching commitment
by the UW School of Medicine and Public
Health to improve the health and wellbeing of Wisconsin residents through
investments in research, education and
community-academic partnerships.
