County pay for fire services

Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van
Hollen issued a legal opinion last week
that supports the Clark County township
of Hoard in its attempts to collect a fire
protection fee from the county for fire
protection services made available to the
Clark County Health Care Center. Van
Hollen said the fee can be collected even
if no actual fire call is made to the facility because state statute allows a town to
assess such a fee to recover its costs of
making services available when needed.
Van Hollens opinion is in response to
Clark County Corporation Counsel Jacob
Brunettes request for interpretation of
laws pertaining to a countys tax-exempt
status and another municipalitys legal
ability to assess a tax against it. The town
of Hoard filed a complaint for declaratory
judgment against Clark County in July in
an attempt to force the county to pay its
$3,328 fire protection bill for 2014 for the
Health Care Center property, located on
Highway 29 on the southern edge of the
township.
The township enacted an ordinance in
2013 to establish fire protection services
for all property within the township, and
billed the county accordingly. The county
refused to pay the bill by its Jan. 31, 2014
due date, prompting the town to go to
court for relief. A court hearing on the
case was to be held at 1 p.m. on Jan. 7 in
Clark County Circuit Court.
In a letter to Van Hollen in January
2014, Brunette asked if statutes allow
a township to assess a fire protection
special charge against a county, which
enjoys tax-exempt status under the law.
Brunette said the countys stance is that
the fire protection charge is a tax and
Clark County, as a tax exempt entity, does
La Crosse man pleads in death of Neillsville woman

the heroin that Cooper ingested before dying in her parents basement southwest of Neillsville in the town of Levis in December
2012. Investigators in the case found evidence that Cooper and
her boyfriend had driven to La Crosse the day before she died
and purchased drugs from Taylor. The boyfriend told police he
bought the drugs to re-sell them, but Cooper consumed some of it.
An autopsy found heroin and other drugs in Coopers system,
but a medical examiner ruled a heroin overdose caused her death.
Testimony given by detectives at a March 2014 preliminary
hearing led to Taylor being bound over for trial on the reckless
homicide charge. Those charges stood until Taylor entered the
plea earlier this week on the lesser charge.
The Largest, Locally Owned Storage Facility In This Area

1-163783
A 28-year-old La Crosse man has pleaded no contest to manufacture/delivery of heroin and will be sentenced in March in a
case connected to the 2012 death of a Neillsville woman.
Reavon Taylor entered a plea in Clark County Circuit Court on
Jan. 5 to the drug charge. He was to stand trial later this month
for reckless homicide for providing the drugs that led to the
death of 19-year-old Monica Cooper, but those charges have now
been amended as a result of the plea. Taylor is to be sentenced
on March 19 on the felony manufacture/delivery charge, which
carries a maximum penalty of 12 1/2 years in prison and/or a
$25,000 fine.
Taylor was arrested in January 2014 for allegedly supplying
not have a legal obligation to pay the fire

protection special charge.
Van Hollen disagreed, saying in his
opinion that the fire charge is a fee, not
a tax.
Its primary purpose is to recover
costs for fire protection services, supervision or regulation, not to obtain general
revenue for the government, Van Hollen
wrote. Therefore, the special charge may
be assessed against the county.
Brunette also asked if a township can
assess a fire protection service charge
even if it never makes an actual fire call
to a property, as was the case at the Health
Care Center. Citing Wisconsin Court of
Appeals case law, Brunette said an appellate court in 1989 concluded that a special
charge for fire protection could not be
charged against a county as the town can
charge only for services actually provided
and not for services that are made available and not utilized.
Van Hollen again disagreed with
Brunette, writing in his opinion that a
township can charge for fire protection
services even if they are never rendered,
as long as the town bases the charge on
a written schedule of fees for various
properties according to their building
size, use, etc., and they are not based on a
per-use fee. The town of Hoard has such
a written schedule, and sets an annual fee
based on its annual costs of contracting
with the Owen-Withee/Curtiss Fire District for protection services.
The circuit court complaint filed on
July 30 asks the court to render a decision
on the countys refusal to pay the fire protection charge. The complaint states that
the countys refusal to pay and challenge
to the legal validity of the town ordinance
creates a justiciable controversy that is
ripe for decision.
The complaint asks the court to validate the townships legal authority to
charge the county for fire protection
services and to order the county to pay its
$3,328 fee for 2014 as well as reimburse the
town for any fees or costs and such other
additional relief the court deems just and
appropriate.
Brunette declined to comment further
on the case as it is still being contended
in court. He said he did not know if the
Jan. 7 hearing will provide a conclusive
finish to the case.

Walker wields a budget cudgel

by Peter Weinschenk
Back in January 2011, newly elected
Gov. Scott Walker infamously had a
brief exchange with Diane Hendricks,
billionaire co-founder of ABC Supply,
Beloit, where she asked him if Wisconsin
would ever become a right-to-work state.
Walker, knowing that video cameras
were rolling, told Hendricks, a campaign
contributor, that he would smash Wisconsins collective bargaining laws in an
upcoming budget repair bill. You use
divide and conquer, said the governor.
Walker got his wish but also the
consequences. Walker triumphed over
Wisconsins public unions but now rules
over a politically divided state.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinels
Craig Gilbert reported recently on Wisconsins widening political divide. In
his past re-election in November, Walker
won 96 percent of Republican votes, he
said. Only six percent of Democrats
voted for him. This is the largest partisan gap of any governors race in the
United States.
This election result reflects an ongoing sorting of people into red and blue
communities, Gilbert noted. Twelve
years ago, 39 percent of Wisconsin
residents lived in a voting ward that
was 10 percent either redder (more
Republican) or bluer (more Democrat)
than state average. Now, that figure is 55
percent. Dane and Waukesha Counties,
although only 30 miles apart, exemplify
this political divide. Since 1982, Dane
County has gone from being 13 to 23
percent more Democratic than Wisconsin as a whole. In Waukesha County, its
residents likewise went from being 10 to
20 percent more Republican.
Looking to 2015, the question is how
Walker will govern a state that, increasingly, is divided.
We ask the question because, financially, the state is in difficult financial
straits.
Mike Huebsch, secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Administration,
reported Nov. 20 that the state faces a
structural deficit to fund a 2015-17 biennial budget.
For the coming biennium, agency
budget requests exceed expected revenues by $1,096 million in fiscal year

2015-16 and by $1,118 million in fiscal
year 2016-17, for a total of $2,214 million
over the biennium, he wrote.
Huebsch, understanding the political
fireworks in his report, dialed back this
bad news, stressing that this projected
shortfall assumed that all departments
requests will be funded. This is a flawed
assumption, he wrote.
Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau
director Bob Lang has since put the
states financial status in a somewhat
clearer perspective. Asked what would
happen if the state only continued its
current programs into the next two
years, he said on Dec. 19 it would run a
$619 million deficit in 2015-16 and a $824
million deficit in 2016-17.
So, depending which figure you want
to use, Wisconsin faces some kind of
deficit in the range of $1 to $2 billion over
the next two budget years. This is a lot
of red ink and, given that Walker and his
Republican allies hope to cut taxes further, there will be great pressure to cut
state spending. A large cleaver dangles
over the upcoming budget.
The question becomes who will get
axed in the process. Schools? Corrections? County aids? Roads? Mental
health programs? Agriculture?
In other political environments, the
elected leadership reach bipartisan
compromises to govern effectively. But
thats not the Wisconsin reality. Here,
somebody has to get stoned.
Back in 2010, it was the states public
employees. Now, all eyes thus look to
the governor to see who his next victim
will be.
Walker knows the power of budgets.
In his conversation with Hendricks back
in 2011, he said his strategy to kneecap
Wisconsins public unions was to make
it part of a budget, forcing lawmakers to
either vote for Act 10 or a tax increase.
The key is by tying it to the budget,
he said. Theres no way they cannot
pass that unless theyre going to pass a
tax increase.
So, good luck Wisconsin in 2015. We
may need it.

Ryans Medicare plan controversial for sure

Wisconsins Paul Ryan is ready to play
point guard for Republicans as he assumes
the chair of the Ways and Means Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives.
In basketball, the point guard calls the
plays and sets the tempo on offense. Tax
and other key issues before the Congress
must flow through the Ways and Means
Committee. That makes the chairman of
the committee among the key members of
Congress. It guarantees a role in virtually
all of Washingtons controversies.
The role is so large and powerful that
Ryan would have to resign the chairmanship if he were to run for president in 2016.
He was the Republican vice-presidential
candidate in 2012.
Among potential topics for the committee are Obamacare, social service
spending, and the future of medical care
for the elderly. In the last Congress, the
Republican majority in the House repeatedly voted to repeal Obamacare. The funding of Obamacare, including a 3.8-percent
income tax on the investment income of
the wealthy, clearly is an issue for Ryans
committee
In the new Congress, Republicans also
hold a majority in the Senate. Its likely
that Senate Republicans will also join the
chorus for repeal, knowing full well that
such legislation would be vetoed by President Obama.
Finding an alternative is far more difficult than just calling for repeal of the
health insurance program. Ryan is viewed
as both a policy wonk and a man who understands the politics of Washington and
the country. If any Republican alternative
to Obamacare is developed, its likely to
have Ryans imprint on it.
Just calling for outright repeal of

Obamacare would leave the Republican
health-care alternative to the next presidential nominee and the 2016 campaign.
Ryan is perhaps best known for two
ideas: letting states decide social issues
and changing how future generations of
senior citizens obtain Medicare. Ryan
argues that states are more creative and
do a better job in providing social services
to their residents. Legislatures and governors better understand their citizens than
members of Congress
can, he argues.
He would have the federal gover nment send
block grants to the states
to help provide those
needs. If additional funds
are needed, states would
define how to find the
revenue.
Critics suggest Ryans
block grant approach is
Matt
an attempt to solve fedPommer eral budget problems by
kicking the can down the
road to the 50 legislatures and 50 governors. Devising a formula on which to base
the block grants would be a magnificent
wrestling match in Congress.
Then there is Medicare, the federally
run health insurance program for the elderly. Ryan has suggested that those now
younger than 55 years be given a grant
when they reach Medicare eligibility age
that allows them to purchase their health
insurance from private carriers.
That sounds a lot like Obamacare,
through which millions of low-income
citizens buy their health insurance with
those who passed my

flyers around and also to
those who posted them
up. I want to thank my
family and friends for
all their help and support. My family and I
appreciate everything
you all have done for us.
Thank you.
Eloise, Ryan, Adriana

and Ava Susa

the help of federal subsidies.

All of the financing and health care issues that bedeviled the creation of Obamacare would again have to be resolved.
Would private health insurance companies
be able to offer varying degrees of care to
the elderly? Would the grants increase as
a citizen reaches 70, and then 80? Older
people need more medical care.
President George W. Bush flirted with
Medicare changes but they were dead on
arrival in Congress. The public likes the
current system. Polls repeatedly have
shown the public likes the assurance of
Medicare.
Changing Medicare would be far more
controversial than Obamacare.

Things didnt get much better when we

got to Oklahoma City the next day. Wed
heard of $1.75 a gallon gas, so I was keeping an eye out for it. Luckily we did see
the sign, but happened to be traveling in
the center lane of a triple lane highway
and couldnt get over. By the time we could
stop, we had left Oklahoma City and were
in Moore, where the gas was again $2.09.
So much for cheap gas.
The good thing about getting to Texas

is getting away from the ice and cold.
The bad thing is you never leave the road
construction season.
I dont recall a year when I-35 wasnt
torn up somewhere along the way. The
good news is that they are making progress and even had billboards telling us
how nice it will be when it is finished. I
wonder if Ill ever live that long?
We had left a day early, so somewhere

along the way, we had a day to burn before
checking into our condo for the months
of January and February. Our normal
stopping place, the day before we reach
Port Aransas, is San Marcos, Tex. It is
just a nice three-hour hop over the next
day, which gives us plenty of time to get
moved in and settled.
Another reason for stopping here is the
Tanger Mall at which we often pick up a
few things. My hope of finding some Levi
shorts was disappointing as they didnt
have my size.
Id also thought of making a short side
trip to Luckenbach, Tex., but that is up
in the Hill Country and the weatherman
was telling of temperatures in the high
20s with possible rain or drizzle.
So instead we took a short trip down

the road to Gruene, Tex., which has the
oldest dance hall in Texas still in operation. It opened in the late 1800s, when a
young German couple by the name of
Ernst and Antoinette Gruene settled
there. Ernst and his second son Henry
planted cotton and did well enough to
encourage 20 to 30 other German couples
to move there as well.
When Henry died in 1920, things in
Gruene sort of went into decline, aided by
the depression. Everything closed, except
for the dance hall. It has seen some great
country music people, like Garth Brooks
and Willy Nelson, along the way.
In 1974-75, the Gruene estate was sold
and the new owners had all the property
places on the National Register for Historic Places.

Here we are, on the road again. This

time to head south to spend a couple
months in Texas, away from the ice and
cold. Can you believe this is the 18th year
we have been fortunate enough to do this?
God surely has been good to us.
We wouldnt have thought so on the
morning we left with about five inches of
new snow on the ground. We lucked out
and found the highways plowed to Merrillan. Then we just kind of followed the
wheel tracks already there until we got to
the Trempealeau County line. There the
snow depth was a lot less and the roads
were plowed again. The going was good all
of the rest of the way, except for patches
of drifting snow along I-90 between La
Crosse and Albert Lea, Minn.
As we did last year, we took a short
break in Holmen so we could enjoy some
delicious goodies that daughter, Sue, and
son-in-law, Mark, had ready for us. It is
a good send-off to a long journey ahead.
After enduring three weeks of cloudy

weather in early December, it was nice
to find bright, sunny skies on our second
and third days on the road. Under normal conditions we should have already
reached our destination, but after so many
years of traveling the same roads we had
decided not to hurry and space our travels
out. We have found some good motels to
stay in as well as places to eat.
This year, our second day found us
stopping early enough in El Dorado, Kan.,
so we could tune in to the Packer game. It
was a good decision as we watched them
win 30-20 and capture the division title
along with it.
The next day we came across a couple

of surprises as well. The news reports, the
week before we left, had told of gas prices
in Missouri being below $2 a gallon.
It was more of a shock than a surprise
to see the prices on the pumps reading
$2.09 instead.
The more pleasant surprise came as I
walked into the station after filling the gas
tank. While I walked up one aisle, there
was Florences nephew from Little Falls,
Minn., coming down the same aisle. He
and his wife were also on their way to Port
Aransas, but we surely didnt expect to
find them at the same gas station.
At noontime I was reminded of the
misinformation, as we sat eating lunch
in Liberty, Mo. Right out of the window I
could read the sign at the gas station and
it read $1.89.

OBITUARIES
Harvey Goeke
Harvey W. Goeke, 81, Greenwood,
passed away on Monday, Dec. 29, 2014, at
the House of the Dove, in Marshfield, with
his wife, Phyllis, at his side. A celebration
of life will be held at noon on Monday, Jan. 12, at
Parkway Pines Supper Club in Greenwood, with
visitation beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Harvey William Goeke was born on Jan. 5, 1933,
on the family farm in the township of Warner, rural
Greenwood, to Frederick W. and Lydia (nee Decker)
Goeke. He was raised on the family farm and received his
education at the Decker Country School, graduating from
Greenwood High School in 1951. He fondly remembered his
high school years, frequently recalling lifelong friends made there and the experience
of playing on championship football teams during that time. Harvey worked on the
farm with his father until enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1954. He served until his honorable discharge in 1956, and came back to Greenwood to farm. He drove children to the
Decker School for three years, an activity recalled by many of the local residents who
rode with him. Harvey married Phyllis N. Grum on June 6, 1959, in Kiel. Soon after
their marriage, they purchased his parents' farm. While farming, Harvey attended
Chippewa Valley Technical College and earned an associates degree in production
agriculture under sponsorship of the G.I. Bill. In 1992, he sold his dairy cows and
continued to raise crops and beef until 2008, at which time he was diagnosed with
cancer, making it necessary to give up hard work. He then arranged to have his land
lovingly planted and nurtured by a good friend and neighbor. He served on the Town of
Warner Board for many years, as well as on the board of directors for Midland Co-op
and North Hendren Dairy Co-op. He enjoyed this involvement as he valued his community and associations and wanted to see them thrive. Harvey had many interests,
but especially loved farming. His mind and heart were perpetually focused upon the
well-being of his animals and the land. It was his hope that farmland and forest land
in Wisconsin would be protected and preserved for future generations. His hobbies
included playing in the old timer's baseball league, bowling, horseshoes,and an occasional fishing trip with boyhood friends. He enjoyed traveling, having taken trips
around the U.S., Europe, Canada, Scandinavia and Russia. His greatest pleasure was
meeting farmers in other places.
He will be dearly missed by his wife, Phyllis, Greenwood; three nieces, Debra (Mike)
Mahon, Manitowoc, Beverly Dusso, Minneapolis, and Joy Smith, Madison; three nephews, Gerald (Chris) Goeke, Hartland, William (Donna) Dusso, Madison, and William
(Carol) Stafford, Somers; great nieces and nephews; a brother-in-law: Richard Grum,
Stoughton; and other relatives and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his in-laws; his sister and brother-inlaw, Alice (Lorris) Dusso; his brother and sister-in-law, Gerald (Elda) Goeke; and one
nephew, James Dusso.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Greenwood Area Ambulance Service, Clark
County 4-H clubs or the Clark County Humane Society would be greatly appreciated.

Domine, Steve Domine, Jason Dux and Todd Schoonover.
Honorary pallbearers will be her grandsons: Dennis Shefchik, Mike Domine and Kevin Domine.
Helen Irene Strey was born on July 11, 1913, in the
town of York, to Robert and Anna (nee Thomas) Strey. She was raised on the family
farm in York and attended Romadka School through eighth grade. She then moved
to Marshfield, worked for a dentist, and later moved to Park Falls where she did
homecare. She married Manuial Domine on Oct. 18, 1933, at St. Anthony Catholic
Church in Loyal. Together they moved to Augusta and then to Milwaukee. While
in Milwaukee, she worked for Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and made the ribbons for
the bottles. In 1947, one year after they returned to Loyal, Helen and her twin sister opened Hazels Style Shop. The name was changed to Helens Style Shop when
she became the sole owner in 1949. The successful dress shop changed locations
four times in 29 years prior to her retirement in 1976 due to a back injury. Her husband, Manuial, passed away March 4, 1996. She continued living in Loyal until she
moved to Marshfield three years ago to live with her daughter. Helen truly enjoyed
spending time with family, along with baking, gardening, canning, crocheting,
and cross-stitch. She and her twin sister, Hazel, giggled together quite often when
reminiscing about the innocent mischief they got into when growing up. Helen
liked to share her experiences with others and chuckled as she told stories of serving an abundant meal almost every Sunday to a house full of guests, often times
unexpected, even while working and raising a family. Pies, with an unmatched,
flaky, homemade crust, were her specialty. And later in life, the grandkids knew
that when they visited, the cookie jar would be full to welcome them. She always
had a smile, loved to laugh, and took joy in helping out wherever possible, even
after her second 1st (101st) birthday. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother,
and a pleasure to be around.
Helen will be missed by her two daughters, Shirley (Allen Fredrickson) Shefchik, Greenfield, and Barbara Dux, Marshfield; two sons, Ronald (Shirley) Domine,
Mosinee, and Robert Domine, Loyal; 13 grandchildren, Dennis (Jean) Shefchik,

grandchildren; three sisters, Hazel Seeman (twin sister) and Norma Potter, both

Drivers must comply with Move Over Law

Tow truck operator killed while working on the Interstate. Troopers cruiser
hit by out-of-control vehicle. The Wisconsin State Patrol wants to put an end to
tragic headlines like these.
Drivers have a legal and moral responsibility to help protect those who
must work on the side of busy roads while
fast-moving vehicles pass by just a few feet
away, says Wisconsin State Patrol Captain
Jeffrey J. Frenette, northwest region -- Eau
Claire Post.
To prevent needless deaths and injuries, drivers must comply with Wisconsins Move Over Law, which provides a
safety zone for workers on the side of
roadways, Captain Frenette explains.
By law, drivers are required to shift lanes
if possible or at least slow down when
encountering a law enforcement vehicle,
ambulance, fire truck, tow truck, highway
maintenance vehicle or utility vehicle
that is stopped on the side of a road with
its warning lights flashing. On Interstate
highways and other divided roads with
multiple directional lanes, you must move
over to vacate the lane closest to the law
enforcement or other emergency vehicle
if you can safely switch lanes. If the road
has a single directional lane or you cant
safely move over because of traffic, you

must reduce your speed until safely past
the vehicle.
A citation for a Move Over Law violation costs $263.50 with three demerit
points added to your drivers license.
But the greatest danger of a violation is
not an expensive fine. A recent dash cam
video from a State Patrol cruiser shows
a Move Over Law violation that came
shockingly close to seriously injuring a
trooper during a traffic stop. The video
is available online on the Wisconsin Department of Transportations You Tube
channel (https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=egkuuPkXUPg&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PL4DA6884A140EBFC8).
During winter months, law enforcement officers, tow truck operators and
others frequently must respond to crashes
and assist motorists whose vehicles have
slid off icy roads. Officers and other workers are in danger of being hit while inside
or outside their vehicles by out-of-control
or speeding vehicles that did not move
over, Captain Frenette says. By obeying
the Move Over Law, drivers can protect
themselves, their passengers, our officers
and others who work on highways from
serious injuries and deaths.

The Artist Muse: Wisconsin ArtistsWisconsin Poets, curated by Christine

Alfery of Lac du Flambeau, features a
collection of works by over 40 Wisconsin
artists and poets. The exhibit will be on
display January 5 February 20, 2015. An
Opening Reception will be held Sunday,
January 18 from 1:00 3:30 PM featuring
poetry readings, an artist meet and greet

In Greek mythology, the Muses were
goddesses of literature, science and the
arts. Today, a muse is still considered
to be the source of inspiration for artists,
poets, thinkers and other creatives. The
works on display will consider, both figuratively and abstractly, the interplay of
inspiration between two forms of artistic
expression: poetry and visual art. More
than 40 Wisconsin artists and poets are
represented in the exhibition.

Spencer third, NGL fifth at Northern Badger meet

Senior Tyler Voda took fourth place and senior Dan
Wilke and freshman Hunter Luepke each placed fifth
at the large Northern Badger Wrestling Classic to help
the Rockets to a third-place finish among 14 Division 3
schools at the Dec. 29-30 meet. Senior Jake Rueth took
first place and stayed undefeated on the season as Neillsville-Greenwood-Loyal wrestled to a fifth-place standing
among Division 1 teams at the same tournament.
Voda, wrestling for the first season since his youth
days, improved to 12-9 on the season by placing fourth
at 195 pounds. He started with a pair of decision wins
before falling on a 13-8 decision to Brett Labrasca (12-9)
of Rhinelander. He also lost his next two matches to finish fourth in the weight class.
Wilke improved his season record to 20-3 by winning
six of his seven matches at the tournament in River Falls.
Wilke won his first three matches at 138 pounds by fall before dropping a 6-5 decision to a familiar foe, sophomore
Stetson Rueth (16-2) of Neillsville-Greenwood-Loyal.
Wilke bounced back in fine fashion to get back to fifth
place, winning by forfeit and then defeating Luke Clark
(13-6) of St. Croix Falls on a 10-9 score and then handling
Brett Von Ruden (16-7) of Sparta on a 6-4 decision.
Luepke also won six of his seven matches in the 2-day
meet, improving his freshman season mark to 20-2. At 182
pounds, Luepke opened with first-period pins of his first
two opponents, but then lost a 4-1 decision to Josh Glover
(18-3) of Luck/Frederic/Grantsburg in the quarterfinals.
Luepke came back for fifth place with three more pins,
over Conrad Daggett (13-8) of River Falls in 1:46, over
Brady Hetke (6-3) of Bloomer/Colfax in 4:39 and over
Walker Polhemus (9-6) of Sparta in 3:46.
Senior Zach Schneider placed sixth for Spencer at
170 pounds to improve to 16-7 on the season. He won
his first two matches by pin, then lost a 5-2 decision to
Tevin Anderson (14-3) of Unity in the quarterfinals. He
rebounded to score a 4-1 decision over Jeffery Krisik
(13-9) of Bayfield/Washburn and a 5-0 decision over Cole
Anderson-Olson (11-6) of Bloomer/Colfax. Schneider
then lost a 4-3 decision to Garrett Joles (10-1) of Boyceville in the fifth-place match.
Other results for Spencer:
-- 106: Freshman Dominick Wichlacz moved to 14-9 on
the season by posting a 3-4 record to place 12th.
-- 113: Freshman Bryce Shaw (11-9) posted a 1-2 record
and did not place.
-- 120: Freshman Caden Schillinger (8-11) went 0-2.

-- 160: Hunter Hildebrandt (13-9) went 3-2 and did not
place.
-- 220: Travis Stelson (0-2) went 0-2 in his first action
of the season.
Boyceville was the top Division 3 team at the meet
with 298.5 points. Clear Lake was second with 214 and
Spencer took third with 157. Cameron (125) was fourth
and Johnson Creek (103.5) placed fifth.

Wrestling Classic in River Falls to place fifth and improve his season mark to 20-2.
Jake Rueth wins Northern Badger title
Senior Jake Rueth plowed through four opponents
to improve to 18-0 on the season and win the 170-pound
weight class at the Northern Badger meet. He got strong
help from several teammates who also wrestled to high
finishes.
Rueth had a first-round bye, then won by technical
fall over Hunter Anderson (13-11) of Phillips. He scored a
15-5 major decision over Andrew Johnson (15-5) of Clear
Lake, and advanced to the title match with a 14-5 major
decision over Trent Smith (12-3) of St. Croix Central. In
the finals, Rueth took a 5-2 win over Tony Britton (20-1)
of Luck/Frederic/Grantsburg.
NGL sophomore Nick Rueth wasnt far behind his big
brother, placing third at 220 pounds to improve to 16-2 on
the season. After a bye and then a 10-second pin in his
first match, Nick Rueth scored a 4-2 decision over Austen
Hakes (17-5) of River Falls. He lost 8-0 to Ben Stone (20-0)
of Cumberland in the quarterfinals, but won by medical
forfeit to take third place.
Sophomore Stetson Rueth posted a 3-2 record at River

Falls to place fourth. After a first-round pin, he picked up
a 9-7 decision over Derrick Dumprope (10-10) of Rhinelander and a 6-5 decision over Wilke. He lost by technical
fall to Wilder Wichman (18-0) of Johnson Creek in the
semis and dropped a 6-2 decision to Ben Adams (23-1) of
Bruce in the third-place match.
Sophomore Skylar Barth (16-3) placed sixth for NGL at

Whether you prefer a high-tech, low-tech or notech approach, the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources can help you hook into some fun this ice
fishing season.
If you havent visited the aisles of your favorite sporting goods retailer lately, youll be amazed by the array
of underwater cameras, sonar fish finders, portable ice
shelters and high-torque augers available for ice fishing
enthusiasts. With participation in the sport growing
-- some 590,700 state residents now take part, up from
479,900 in 2000 according to the most recent National
Survey on Recreation and the Environment -- its no
wonder the gear options continue to expand.
Theres a lot of innovative equipment out there
that makes ice fishing more comfortable, particularly
in extreme winter conditions, says Justine Hasz, DNR
section chief for fisheries services. But all you really
need for fun during the hard water fishing season is a
pole, a bucket and some bait. And a fishing license, of
course. I actually go for the low-tech approach myself
because it means you dont have to haul as much out
on the sled.
In addition, Hasz notes, anyone who would like to give
ice fishing a try can pursue a completely no-tech option
by borrowing equipment through DNRs tackle loan
program during the third annual Winter Free Fishing
Weekend on Jan. 17-18. Ice fishing gear is available at
19 loaner sites, eight of which are at state parks with
fishing access. Augers are in short supply, however,
so you may have to make friends with someone who
can drill you a hole once you get out there. Call ahead
to verify equipment is available, with numbers listed
on the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov by searching fishing
equipment for loan.
While you can fish without a license or Great Lakes
salmon stamp on all Wisconsin waters during the Free
Fishing Weekend event, state park entrance stickers
are required and other fishing rules still apply, such as
limits on the number and size of fish anglers can keep.
Theresa Stabo, Wisconsins angler education director,
said the event offers a great opportunity for families to

get outside and enjoy Wisconsins waters without a boat.
Free Fishing Weekend provides a great introduction to ice fishing and we hope to lure in families as
well as young adults who enjoy the outdoors and would
like to give it a try, Stabo says. Whether you are after
consistent action with panfish or something bigger like
walleye or northern pike, its quite a thrill to see whats
on the end of your line when you haul it up through
the ice.
At the moment, DNR fisheries experts are reporting
strong activity in the northern part of the state including Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior as well as lakes
in Burnett, Iron, Marathon, Portage Sawyer, Shawano
and Washburn counties. Max Wolter, DNR fisheries biologist in Sawyer County, reports walleye and northern
pike have been biting consistently in 5 to 15 feet of water.
Al Niebur, fisheries biologist in Shawano and Waupaca Counties, reports good action on some of the shallower lakes or impoundments where anglers are catching bluegill, crappie, perch, bass and northern pike.
You dont need a lot of fancy gear to fish these waters
-- simple jig poles for panfish and a few tip ups for pike
or bass, Niebur says.
In the southern part of the state, Hasz notes, lack of
consistent ice means anglers are eager to get out and
enjoy a sport that is part of Wisconsins fishing heritage. We also hope to see lots of new faces giving it a
try during the Winter Free Fishing Weekend, she says.
Groups encouraged to host Free Fishing Weekend
events
Stabo encourages fishing groups, local chambers of
commerce, youth group leaders and others to consider
hosting a Free Fishing Weekend event.
We really hope that event organizers will pitch their
events to adults who have never had the opportunity to
ice fish and to families who want to learn together. Every
weekend is Free Fishing Weekend for kids -- they just
need someone to take them, she says.

I measure personal progress one stain at a time

If progress can be defined as "advance
toward perfection or to a higher or better
state" -- and rather conveniently, it can -- then
I'd have to measure my personal progress in
2014 as minimal. OK, paltry, I can live with
that. Huh? Nonexistent? C'mon now, I did use
deodorant almost every day and barely ever
cussed in front of little children. That ought to
count for something.
Progress, of course, can be measured in
multiple ways, depending on one's personal
circumstances. A rich man, for instance, might
measure his progress in a just-completed year
by the numbers on his investment ledger. A
farmer might measure his progress by the number of acres he's cultivated, or by the gallons of
milk his cows produced. A doctor looks at the
number of people he has cured, a basketball
player compares the number of points he has
scored, and an African dung beetle counts the
number of manure balls he has made. Like I
said, you measure your growth your way, I'll
measure mine my way.
I was thinking about my 2014 progress the
other day while I was in my kitchen. Yeah, I
know, the living room, or maybe even the spare
room where I keep my books, seems like a more
logical location to gauge annual headway, but
anyway, there I was in the kitchen, crackin'
open some eggs for a scrambled lunch, when
I dropped a fork and reached down to pick it
up. Yeah, I grunted, 'cuz I'm 51 now, and well,
that's just what you do at this age any time you
bend at the waist. Or at any joint, now that I
think about it.
As I stooped, I noticed an old stain on my
kitchen vinyl, which I still call linoleum, cuz',
pay attention here, I'm 51 now, remember?
It's a stain about the size of a 50-cent piece,
I'd say, brownish in color, with a splash pattern indicating the substance that created it
came from a height of 3-4 feet. Gravy would
be a good guess, with congealed hamburger
fat running a close second and alfredo sauce an

outside possibility, although I'm not comfortable
with the thickish consistency nor the hue on that
one. Not cookie dough, though, for sure, 'cuz I'd
have picked that up and eaten it. Unless the cat has
recently barfed nearby, the 5-second rule trumps
all in my kitchen.
Back to the stain, which caught my eye not
because it's any different than any of the others on
my kitchen linoleum -- hush! -- but because I believe it may have been there for all of 2014. No way
to tell for sure without expensive carbon dating,
but it seems like I recall noticing this particular
floor blotch a year ago at this time, and thinking to
myself, "you oughtta clean this floor one of these
days." Of course, for a single man of the bachelor
variety, thinking about household cleanliness
is a few thousand miles removed from actually
doing it, and obviously, there was a ball game on
TV or a fresh bag of Cool Ranch Doritos in the
cupboard at the time that more acutely required
my attention. Thus, the stain stayed. The weeks
passed. And the months. A few seasons maybe.
Grass grew. Then died. The Earth made another
circle 'round the sun. Galaxies imploded. Others
fired to new life. Republicans won control of both
houses of Congress. Somewhere, a puppy burped.
In my kitchen, apparently, according to the
physical evidence, no progress was made, none at
all. I cooked meals, sure, the dishes were washed
before they were put away -- more or less -- and
I know I even swept with some regularity. That
sorted out the chunks, you know, the dried elbow
macaroni shells, the petrified Pop Tart corners,
the stray Tater Tot that figured a daring leap off a
hot pan was a better choice than getting chewed
and swallowed while drowned in ketchup (yeah,
I'd have to agree with that). But the stains, the
liquid spills that dried in place without attention
from a sheet of Brawny, they stayed right where
they were. Which brings to mind: Why do I have
a cat anyway?
I admit I don't own a mop. Don't ask me why,
THE
BORN
LESAR
by TRG Editor Dean Lesar
it's not a mop phobia or anything like that, it's
just that I've been through a few court-ordered
dispositions of half my property, and well, I guess
I didn't get any mops, alright? Getting down on
the linoleum on all fours to scrub with a sponge
is out of the question (bad knees), as is asking my
son to do it (bad attitude). And so, despite sweeping bi-monthly -- whether it was really needed or
not -- and making mental note of the stains, I did
nothing to erase them. There. I said it. I saw them.
I knew about them. And then I went fishing.
Before you judge me too harshly, let me say my
house is not a complete wreck. I clean, although
not thoroughly, I own cleaning spray, although it's
expiration date may precede the DDT ban, and
I have a closet specifically devoted to household
hygiene paraphernalia, although I can't remember
if the door handle works. As I said, I will sweep,
I've been know to dust if we can't find the VCR,
and once in a while I'll even hook up a hose to a
city fire hydrant and blow down the bathroom.
Yeah, you need a special fitting, but that water
pressure will peel the scum off your shower walls
like dead skin off a sunburned back.
Moving ahead, which is kind of the point of
all this, I'll say in my defense that I didn't clean
the floor stains in my kitchen, 'cuz, really, after
all, what were they hurting? They sort of blended
into the pattern design anyway, they didn't stick to
anybody's feet, there are no children in my house
who might try to lick them, and as far

as I know, nobody even noticed them.
So I thought. While opening Christmas gifts from a certain someone who
shall remain unidentified because
she threatened to take me to court if
I ever name her here, I tore into the
largest box bearing my name to find
-- a Swiffer. For those of you who are
less educated with household cleaning
devices than I -- yeah, I wouldn't raise
my hand, either -- a Swiffer employs a
moistened pad on a broom-like handle
to clean one's floor of less desirable
discolorations caused by non-dry matter. Point
taken.
I haven't used my new Swiffer yet, for the
same reason, I suppose, that primitive man
had when he first had the wheel but just sort of
looked at it curiously and said, "Hmm, I'm not
so sure about that." See, if I take it out of the
wrapping, and clean my floors, then never again
will I have any excuse to let stains stay put in my
kitchen fore more than a year and counting. Just
not sure I'm ready for that.
It will be progress, though, when I finally do
it. It may even be a good feeling, to take a step
forward, "toward perfection" as the definition
goes. It may even spur me on to even greater
progress, say, to wiping the dried Spaghettio
stains off the inside ceiling of my microwave, or
to pull the stove out of its cubby hole and chisel
off the dried stew juice that fell into the crack
last Feb ... well, there's no need to list exact dates.
So, here's to progress, to the IRS agent who
audited more honest, hard-working folks last
year, to the car dealer who sold more Toyotas
before they had to be recalled because their air
bags exploded and tore off passengers' heads,
to the Islamic terrorist who murdered more
people in the pursuit of everlasting life. Me, well,
I measure my progress in smaller increments.
OK, much smaller. Point taken.
New wolf ruling rekindles old debate

Local hunters say they share the feeling of disappointment expressed by state and federal wildlife officials
towards a federal judges decision to place Great Lakes
wolves back on the endangered species list.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell recently threw out an
Obama administration decision to remove gray wolves
in the western Great Lakes region from the endangered
species list, stating it violated the federal Endangered
Species Act.
Her ruling again bans wolf hunting in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, where the combined wolf population is estimated to be about 3,700 animals. The U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service dropped federal protections from
gray wolves in 2012 and handed over management to the
three states. All three states have had at least one hunting
season since protections were lifted, while Minnesota and
Wisconsin also have allowed trapping.
The ruling renews debate -- a debate that never really died -- over how to control the population of wolves
that naturally migrated back into the state several years
ago. Hunters and trappers killed 154 of an estimated 650
wolves in Wisconsin during the 2014 hunting season that
just ended, even as wolf advocates continued protesting
the hunt.
Jonathan Lovvorn, senior vice president of the Humane Society of the United States, which filed a lawsuit
that prompted Howells ruling, said on Friday he was
pleased with the decision, calling the basis for removing
the gray wolves from the endangered species list flawed.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Gavin Shire
called the decision a significant step backward, while
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources spokesman
Bill Cosh said the decision means the state cant authorize
anyone to kill a wolf, even wolves discovered in the act of
attacking a domestic animal.
Jeff Giese of Stevens Point is a member of the Wisconsin Trappers Association who has hunted for over 40
years and been trapping for over 30 years. In 2012, during
the first wolf hunt in Wisconsin, he began trapping wolves
that were causing damage to farms in central Wisconsin
by killing livestock. That same year, he took part in a panel

discussion on wolf management hosted by the DNR at the
Mosquito Hill Nature Center in New London. Giese said
that despite some difference of opinion on the parameters
of the wolf hunt, the panel agreed that at least some wolves
who cause damage should be removed.
I dont agree that we should be getting rid of all wolves,
but we should be managing the population and dispatching the animals as quickly and cleanly as possible, said
Giese, 54.
According to the DNR, the state paid out over $151,000 to
residents as a result of damage done by wolves to livestock
in the past year, and over $1.7 million since 1985. Those
funds come from wolf hunting and trapping licenses. Giese
said the worst time for wolf attacks at farms come in the
summer months, when he has spoken to farmers who have
lost three or more cows or calves in a given night, causing
thousands of dollars of damage or more.
Some of these are not hunting, they are mass killings
because the wolves are in training mode with their pups,
and these farm animals are easy targets, Giese said.
Melissa Smith is the organizer of Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf, a non-profit organization that advocates for
wolves and other endangered wildlife in the state. Smith
said the organization has 57 active members and a mailing list of more than 500 people across the state, including in central Wisconsin. In June 2013, Smith traveled to
Wausau for a meeting of the Natural Resources Board to
testify against a measure increasing the wolf-hunt quota
from 201 to 275 wolves for the 2013-2014 season, which
ultimately passed.
Smith said she was still in shock over the ruling.
Smith said she believes the states decision to move to a
wolf hunt immediately after the animals were taken off
the endangered species list in 2012 and allowing hunters
to use dogs during hunts ultimately played a role in the
judges decision.
Wisconsin was originally supposed to have a five-year
moratorium on hunting after the delisting, but that obviously went out the window in favor of politics, Smith said.

2014 and Beyond

Hello friends,
This is my annual summary of the past years highlights and some
thoughts on what I will be doing in 2015.
I participate in camping trips every month of the year and last winter was brutal for man, beast, and fish. In the 25-years that I have been
writing this column, last winter was the first time that I saw massive
amounts of outdoorsmen just say to heck with it by mid January and
spend more time inside then they normally would have.
Due to 40 inches of ice and 2-4 feet of snow on the ice there was very
little oxygen left in the water which shuts down fish feeding. Simply put,
when the lake you are fishing is running out of oxygen, the fish in it
quit feeding. If the oxygen level gets too low the fish (shallow lakes are
hit hardest) in it die. The warm spell that we just experienced should
keep a good bite going well into the winter of 2015.
Last June I returned to Shultz Lake in northwest Ontario, Canada
where I have flown into and fished with family and friends since 1982.
There is a portage lake that can be reached by walking from Shultz and
it has lake trout in it. Until the summer of 2013, no one in our gang
had ever caught one.
I was fishing with my13-year-old daughter, Selina, when we broke the
ice on that subject and last year I watched my nephew, Riley Schuster,
net a beautiful 30-inch laker for Selina.
The story behind the story is that I had a surprise for Selina in that
I was having it mounted for her for a Christmas present. I was at deer
camp when my taxidermist called and said that my laker was not a
laker but actually a brook trout. My friends, the state record brook
trout is 24 inches.
I contacted some friends in early December and was told that if this
was a brookie it was going to be huge news. My taxidermist who is a
very respected man put his guarantee on it that Selina had a worldclass trophy. I made some calls and had a good friend with the WDNR
work with another and they determined that Selinas brookie was
a laker.
On Christmas day I gave Selina her mount, which is truly beautiful
and as of this writing, she has never heard the story that I just wrote.
I watched my 21-year-old stepson, Joey Dushek, go through the
grueling and expensive sport of bear baiting last May through early
September as he had his first bear tag.
I helped Joey out early in the game but he soon proved that he did not
need me. Once the season rolled around I was Joeys cameraman and
filmed him harvesting a 260-bear with his bow and arrow. The footage
is awesome, as is the memory.
Mid October, I have my first wolf tag. My buddy Jody Bigalke and
I spent six-days beating the heck out of my truck and our bodies. On
the last day of the season I was pulling traps and one of them had a
beautiful wolf in it. Unless you pursue these critters you cannot even
describe the emotion and satisfaction of harvesting a wolf.
About all I can say about the loss of our wolf hunting and trapping
seasons this past December is, I do not trust our current president or
anyone in his administration. They ignored biology. If you think that
Wisconsin has dwindling numbers of grey wolf, you are mistaken.
This past week I hunted bobcat for the first time, as I received my
first bobcat tag. I will hunt them until I put a tag on one or the season
closes Jan. 31. I am hunting with The Bloomer Houndsmen and am
very impressed.
Selinas golden retriever or mine (ours) Fire is bred and due around
the 10th of January.
Fire looks to have a belly full of pups and no matter what the numbers are we are going to have a really cool January and February, as
we watch the pups next to the woodstove in our living room.
On the matter of the wolf hunting, and trapping season removal.
For those of you that think it is cool that hunters and trappers cannot
harvest a limited number of grey wolf, that our WDNR biologists determine works in each zone. I have spent more time camping in more
locations in Wisconsins forests and marshes then most people. Grey
wolf numbers have to be managed by hunters and trappers.

From new County Deer Advisory Committees and new frameworks for the deer
season to successful facebook contests
focusing on Wisconsins state park system properties, here is a look back at the
natural resources issues and highlights
of 2014.
January
-- The Department of Natural Resources has received an exploration license application from Gogebic Taconite, LLC, for
activities related to the Penokee/Gogebic
deposit located in Ashland and Iron counties. The company is proposing to drill
fifteen exploratory drillholes at the site.
-- The Natural Resources Board approved emergency rules to begin implementing Deer Trustee Report recommendations on the ground, authorizing a new
deer program and regulations that will
be in place prior to the 2014 deer hunting
season.
February
-- Wisconsin wild turkey hunters registered a total of 4,633 birds during the fall
2013 wild turkey season, a decrease of 34
percent from the 7,054 turkeys registered
during the 2012 season. Success rates also
decreased, from 12.9 percent in 2012 to 7.1
percent during the 2013 season.
-- Wisconsins state parks, outdoor
recreation areas, forests and trails serve
as important drivers of local economic
vitality, according to a recent report that
estimates that total spending by Wisconsin
state park properties visitors is more than
$1 billion a year. The report also found that
the State Park System conserves important environmental resource areas that
are public legacies.
March
-- Remaining over-the-counter permits
in Turkey Management Zones 6 and 7
will not be issued and over-the-counter
permits in zones 4 and 5 will be reduced
by 25 percent in response to hunter feedback requesting a conservative approach
to the number of permits issued for this
springs hunt, due to concerns that increased winter mortality has depressed
turkey numbers.
-- Moving the start of the early trout
season to Jan. 1 and expanding the early
season to all inland waters to provide more
fishing opportunities are among the options Wisconsin anglers can weigh in on
during the 2014 Spring Fish and Wildlife
Hearings held April 14 at sites in all Wisconsin counties.
-- As one of the harshest winters on
record continues its icy grip on Wisconsin
state wildlife officials are monitoring its
effects on wildlife, particularly deer and
turkey.
-- The Department of Natural Resources has been granted authority from the
state Natural Resources Board to explore
alternative methods for managing walleye
in the Ceded Territory, covering roughly
the northern third of the state. The scope
statement went before the board today in
a special meeting due to changes in the
boards meeting schedule that went into
effect this January.
April
-- More than 316,000 catchable size trout
are being stocked in dozens of inland
trout waters across Wisconsin before the
May 3 inland fishing season opener. A list
of waters receiving fish and how many
were planned for stocking is now available online.
-- White-nose syndrome, a bat disease
that has spread to 23 states and killed
up to 5 million bats since 2006, has been
confirmed in Wisconsin, state natural
resources officials announced today.
-- About 1,400 acres of globally significant habitat, which will benefit public
recreation and wildlife, including the
flamboyant sharp-tailed grouse, has been
preserved thanks to a partnership among
the Department of Natural Resources, The
An Outdoorsmans

State ends 2014 with fewer than 500 traffic deaths for the first time since 1943
Wisconsin ended 2014 with 491 traffic
fatalities, which was the lowest number
of deaths and the first time below 500
fatalities since 1943 when 417 people in
died in crashes, according to preliminary
statistics from the Wisconsin Department
of Transportation (WisDOT).
State traffic deaths in 2014 also were
down 36 (approximately a seven percent
reduction) from 2013 when 527 people died
and 68 fewer than the five-year average of
559 deaths.
There is no single factor that led to
this reduction in traffic fatalities to the
lowest total since 1943 when the number of
vehicles and the miles traveled on Wisconsin roads were a fraction of what they are
today, said WisDOT Secretary Mark Gottlieb. We know that the majority of serious
crashes are caused by bad driving habits
and irresponsible decisions. Therefore,
motorists deserve a great deal of credit for
saving their own lives and lives of others by
slowing down, paying attention, buckling
up and driving sober. In addition, WisDOT
and our partners continue to invest fund-
ing and resources to improve traffic safety

enforcement, education and engineering.
These investments are clearly helping to
prevent fatalities.
David Pabst, director of the WisDOT
Bureau of Transportation Safety, noted
several factors that contributed to the
reduction in traffic deaths.
He pointed out that safety belt use in
Wisconsin reached an all-time high in 2014
with nearly 85 percent of drivers and passengers buckling up. However, Wisconsins
safety belt use rate still lags behind the
national average of 87 percent and is below
neighboring states, all of which have safety
belt use rates of more than 90 percent.
Although the figures for alcohol-related
fatal crashes in 2014 wont be available for
a few months, Pabst says, Deaths due to
alcohol-related crashes in Wisconsin have
declined dramatically in the past 10 years
from 348 fatalities in 2003 to 185 in 2013,
which is a 47 percent reduction.
To combat drunken driving, law enforcement agencies around the state have
formed Operating While Intoxicated (OWI)
Task Forces using federal funding administered by WisDOT. Currently, 16 OWI Task
Forces are operating in urban and rural
communities.
To prevent speed-related crashes on major highways, the State Patrol Air Support
Unit flew 88 traffic enforcement missions
last year. WisDOT used Twitter to advise
drivers of the time and locations of the
aerial enforcement missions to increase
voluntary compliance with speed limits
and other traffic laws.
Another major traffic safety improvement last year was the reduction in motorcyclists fatalities, Pabst said. There
were 74 motorcyclists killed in crashes
last year, which was the lowest number
since 2001, when 72 motorcyclists died in
crashes. The 2014 riding season was shorter than normal because of a cold spring.
But efforts to improve motorcycle safety
through rider education and training also
contributed to the drop in fatalities. About
35 percent of motorcyclists fatalities from
2003 to 2013 involved riders who had not
completed the safety training or skills test
required to obtain a motorcycle license,

so we must continue our efforts to get
more motorcyclists trained and properly
licensed.
In addition to improved driving behavior, engineering had a significant role in
saving lives. Engineering advancements
have made the vehicles we drive and the
roads we drive on much safer, Pabst said.
In assessing the decrease in traffic fatalities, Secretary Gottlieb said, "We are
encouraged but certainly not complacent
about our continuing efforts to prevent
traffic deaths and injuries. In Wisconsin,
on average, more than one person per
day is killed in a crash and more than 100
are injured. Traffic fatalities are more
than just numbers and statistics. Each
number was a person whose tragic death
was mourned by family and friends. And
we know that most traffic deaths could
have been prevented if motorists had only
slowed down, paid attention, driven sober
and buckled up. We all must do everything
we can to reach the ultimate goal of zero
preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.

1 coverage.
Were pleased that in Wisconsin 92,398
people signed up for Marketplace coverage
during the first month of open enrollment.
The vast majority were able to lower their
costs even further by getting tax credits,
making a difference in the bottom lines of
so many families, HHS Secretary Sylvia
M. Burwell said. Interest in the Marketplace has been strong during the first
month of open enrollment. We still have
a ways to go and a lot of work to do before
Feb. 15, but this is an encouraging start.
Nationwide, more than four million
people signed up for the first time or reenrolled in coverage for 2015 during the
first month of open enrollment. That
includes more than 3.4 million people
who selected a plan in the 37 states that
are using the HealthCare.gov platform for
2015 (including Wisconsin), and more than
600,000 consumers who selected plans in

BACKSTAGE AT THE TACK CENTER

Rocky Mountain High
celebrating the music
of John Denver
The legendary John Denver evokes
memories of an era in music which was
both inspiring and influential. His music
was a combination of romance (Annies
Song), folk (Leavin on a Jet Plane),
country (Thank God Im a Country Boy),
and environmentalist (Calypso). He recorded nearly 300 songs, 200 of which he
composed, which led to 12 gold and four
platinum albums. He was also the recipient of an Emmy and two Grammy's. He was a brilliant song writer and a truly
gifted performer. John Denvers music will return to audiences once more in
Rocky Mountain High -- A John Denver Tribute on Jan. 17, at 7:30 p.m., at the
LuCille Tack Center for the Arts.
Ted Vigil, a man who, according to the late Steve Weisberg (long-time Denver
guitar accompanist), closely resembles John both physically and musically, is
carrying on the tradition honoring this colossal music icon. Ted is honored to
once again bring the great compositions and hits of John Denver to audiences
across America.
Vigil wouldnt consider himself an impersonator, but rather someone doing
his best to pay homage by singing a tribute to this great man who music lovers
miss. Vigils polished and energetic performing style presents a warm and delightful evening through some of the music the world grew to love. Audiences
walk out of his concerts feeling refreshed and with maybe a little more sunshine
on their shoulders.
Seats for Rocky Mountain High -- A John Denver Tribute are reserved ($25)
and can be purchased online at www.lucilletackcenter.com, by calling the box
office at 715-659-4499, or in-person at 300 School St., Spencer. The LuCille Tack
Center for the Arts box office hours are Wednesdays and Fridays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Free tax preparation assistance available

MARSHFIELD -- Are you in need of
assistance with preparing your state
and federal income taxes and/or your
Homestead Credit? Free tax preparation
assistance will be available starting this
February to individuals with a gross annual income under $58,000, with special
attention to those 60 and older. The tax
