Choices tough at the Reality Store
DEAN LESAR/STAFF PHOTO
Pittsville eighth-graders Jessie Rasmussen (left) and Victoria Derkez work out their
budgets Tuesday at the Reality Store at Spencer High School. Almost 200 students from
area schools attended to learn about budgeting and weighing needs against luxuries.
his 15-year-old was old enough to watch
her younger siblings. Still, Brandon chose
to rent a house instead of buying, and his
frugality allowed him to afford a cable TV
package and nice clothes.
Its very important to save up your
money for the good things, he said.
The students at the Reality Store have
to visit various stations where they buy
items and services such as gas/electricity,
housing, phone service, child care, home
furnishings, etc. Each station is manned
by adult volunteers who let the students
know how much theyll have to pay to
obtain what they need or want.
One of the longest lines was at the
vehicle station. There, volunteer Harley
Meyer, the branch manager at Citizens
State Bank of Loyals Spencer office, said
many students came early to buy a flashy
vehicle, then had to return to trade down.
They want a brand new vehicle,
Meyer said. The first time around, you let
them do it. We had probably half of them
come back and say, We need to trade the
car to get something less.
Meyer said he tried to explain that
new cars generally get better gas mileage, but also carry a higher price tag. The
students had to make the best choice for
their budgets, but many of them made the
initial mistake of buying more than they
10-165665
I need to sell something, Austin

Frohmade said Tuesday morning as he
looked over his wrecked monthly expense plan. I went over budget by a lot.
An electrician with three kids -- actually a Pittsville eighth-grader attending
the Reality Store exercise at Spencer
High School -- Frohmade realized his
$5,692 monthly salary was not going to
support the lifestyle he wanted. That
brand new SUV, well, it was going to
have to go.
I bought a brand new truck. Ive
gotta go back and get a (different) one,
he said.
Trading down to a 2011 Ford Taurus
solved Austins budget mess, even though
his friend, Jacob Grimm, still teasingly
called him Mr. I Have to Have Everything New. Buying too much on too little
income was one of the most common
mistakes made by students at Tuesdays
11th annual Reality Store put on by the
Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce
& Industry. Almost 200 kids attended
Tuesdays event, from Spencer, Pittsville,
Auburndale, St. Josephs Catholic and
Immanuel Lutheran schools.
Each student attending the Reality
Store is given a fictitious adult scenario,
an occupation, a monthly income, maybe
a family to support. They are taught
about the taxes that will come out of their
gross incomes, and told they have to save
5 percent and give 3 percent to charity.
From there, its up to them to budget
for housing, child care, transportation,
insurance, food, and so on.
As one student told Spencer counselor
Joann Roehl after finding out how much
her life would cost, I do not want to
grow up.
Jenna Rasmussen of Pittsville was a
teacher on Tuesday, with one child. Her
salary of $3,508 was not quite enough
to stretch over all the expenses she was
incurring.
After I bought a house, I had to get a
second job as a cleaner, she said.
Jenna was able to set up her 2-income
budget so she could afford a few extras,
such as a nice cell phone, and maybe even
a pet. However, she said, the Reality Store
experience showed her that spending
must be controlled.
I might have to be more wise with my
choices, she said.
Brandon Much of Spencer was living
the relative good life, with a salary of
$6,545 as an optometrist. He had three
children for whom to provide, but he was
able to avoid child care expenses because

could afford.
When they come back, theyre so
down. Weve gotta trade, they say. Its a
great lesson, Meyer said.
Roehl said the word reality is an apt
one for an event name. Students who participate really began to understand what
it takes to maintain a family on a budget.
They say, I have to pay $720 a month
for day care? she said. Their comment
is, No more kids.
Students also get a valuable lesson in
prioritizing needs over wants. They may
want the fanciest cell phone with unlimited data options, but they find they cant
always have it, at least not if the children
are going to eat.
Everything is too expensive, Roehl
said the kids are learning.
Not every student left the Reality Store
with an overly tight budget, though. Jacob Grimm, the one who said his friend
had to have everything new, said he saved
money by avoiding brand-name products.
A welder pulling in $4,610 a month (net),
Brandon also saved on day care because
his employer provided a child care benefit. That left Brandon with $500 a month
to spend as he pleased. Instead of putting
it in savings, however, he headed to the
pet store and bought a cat, two dogs, a
chinchilla, a mouse, and a ferret.

Former
Willard man
killed by
stray bullet
Rusk County Sheriffs deputies and
Department of Natural Resources conservation wardens were continuing their
investigation this week into a March 7
accidental shooting that claimed the life
of former Willard resident Patrick McFarlane. McFarlane was killed Saturday
afternoon near his home in Glen Flora
when he was struck by a stray bullet fired
by a coyote hunter.
DNR warden Mark Little said McFarlane, 60, was outside his home while a
group of coyote hunters was in the area. A
hunter from La Crosse shot at an animal,
and McFarlane was in the line of fire near
his residence. McFarlane was not hunting
with the group.
A complete obituary for McFarlane is
published elsewhere in this issue.

Dont sell out Mother Nature

by Peter Weinschenk
Department of Natural Resources
Secretary Cathy Stepp on Tuesday told
the state legislatures Joint Committee
on Finance she will initiate discussions
over the next year to explore the possibility of selling naming rights to Wisconsin
state parks.
This is a terrible idea.
Its one thing for the state, as proposed
in Gov. Scott Walkers budget, to raise the
price of annual park passes (from $3 to
$28) and to increase nightly campsite fees
(from $2 to as much as $24), but it is quite
another thing to sell the name of state
parks to the highest bidder.
The first proposal shifts the burden
of paying for state parks from state taxpayers to users. There is, perhaps, some
justice in this. On the other hand, selling
a parks name commercializes nature.
This is sacrilege. People go to state parks
to get away from the civilizations crass
trappings. Stepps suggestion would
create a state where there is no escape
from money, power, advertising and the
marketplace.
Imagine walking along a pristine trail
inside a state park and seeing some flora
with a sign tacked on, This tree brought
to you by ABC Corporation. Thats offensive.
Stepps proposal, however, doesnt just
compromise the camping publics park
experience. It does damage to all of us.
It erodes our public life, that part of life
defined by who we are, not how much
money we have.
We must see Stepps idea as part of a
long list of proposals from the Walker
administration to replace our common society with a market society. The governor
would defund public radio, compromise
public schools with private school vouchers and decouple our public university
from the legislatures oversight. The governor will hand out tax cuts so, individually, we can live better lives, but our life
together will go begging. The common
good will suffer.
Secretary Stepp may argue that the
state budget has a deficit and selling nam-
ing rights to state parks is a necessary

way to fund part of her department. But
is that true? Is this state really that broke?
In our view, Stepp would not sell naming
rights to state parks because of financial
need, only moral poverty. She would do
so only by forgetting parks as part of this
states environmental heritage. In that
amnesia, she would declare everything is
for sale and that markets triumph over all.
This is not just poor government policy,
but immoral. A state park is a place where
people can go as regular citizens and, if
you are willing to pitch a tent or park a
camper, enjoy the out of doors like anyone
else. Everybody gets the same square plot
of ground and pays the same nightly fee.
In that way, a state park is important as a
place where one person is not any better
than anyone else. It doesnt matter what
that persons race is, how much money
they have or what side of the tracks they
live on. When a state park name is sold,
money trumps this ethos of equality. Suddenly, a park is used for a private, not a
public purpose. A named park suddenly
becomes a place of haves and have-nots.
Spiritually, such a place withers. Our common morality is eroded.
We need to put Stepps proposal in
a wider context. We, here in America,
live in a time of greater income equality.
Historically, Wisconsin has been one of
the nations most equal states, but this is
changing. The Economic Policy Institute
reports that between 2009 and 2012 Wisconsins income grew by 5.9 percent. Of
this amount, however, the states top one
percent of earners captured nearly 70 percent of this total. The bottom 99 percent
received a mere 2.1 percent of the states
income growth. This inequality reflects
global economic trends and there is not a
lot we here can do about it. Yet we have in
our control our various state public institutions that can buffer the impact of this
income inequality. Here is the question,
however. Do we maintain strong public
schools? And a strong public university?
And an inviting state park system with
plenty of acres open to the public? Or,
sadly, do markets conquer all?
Kulp: Unions best days still lie ahead

by Rep. Bob Kulp
R, Stratford
After debating Senate Bill 44 (the Right
to Work bill) for 24 hours on the Assembly
floor, I have some thoughts on the bill.
I believe unions best days lay ahead.
Heres why I believe that. I have faith in
the strength and vitality of unions. Unions
have always done a great job of training
and preparing a ready workforce. Many
unions do a good job of representing
members. As a result, many members are
proud of their union. For those workers, if
you like your union, I implore you to keep
your membership.
Nothing changes immediately next
week when this bill is signed into law.
Unions will have plenty of time to prove
that they are well worth the dues they
collect. What Senate Bill 44 does is it gives
every single worker the freedom to choose.
They can continue to voluntarily pay dues
and be part of their union, or they can
Walker ducking answers to campaign questions

What goes around comes around.
Gov. Scott Walker, a familiar voice on
conservative talk shows, is being asked
about topics that have been fodder in recent years on those outlets. And the governor is very unhappy about it. He wants
to define the issues for the media.
For example, Walker was asked if President Obama is a Christian. The governor
said he didnt know, saying he had never
talked about it or read about it. He would
later describe it as a gotcha question.
The presidents life was a popular topic
on conservative talk shows. His place of
birth, his religion and history and race
of his parents bounced around those talk
shows. Recently, former New York Mayor
Rudy Giuliani said he didnt believe that
Obama loves America. Walker sidestepped
the issue when asked for his view.
Earlier this year, Walker went to London to give a speech, apparently to bolster
his foreign affairs credentials as he seeks
the presidency. He was asked about evolution versus creationism. He initially
sidestepped the issue (he called it a punt).
Later he regrouped by straddling the
issue. Both science and my faith dictate
that we are created by God. I believe faith
and science are compatible and go handin-hand, he said.
Back in Washington, the governor tore
into the press for asking uncomfortable
questions. Those issues are far from what
I think are the real issues, he said. The
attack on the press increased as his campaign group sought to raise money for this
political operation.
His campaign sought to capitalize on
the exchange.
Now is the time to stand up against

the publicity hounds and the journalistic
pack and help Gov. Walker fight back with
a Friends of Scott Walker contribution of
$10 or $100 or $1,000 or whatever amount is
right for you, a fund-raising email pleader
encouraged.
The press isnt done with difficult questions for Walker. Late last month, The New
York Times reported a Walker appearance
before a small prayer group meeting in
Iowa and what he may have said about
abortion issues -- often a popular topic on
the conservative talk show circuit.
Does Walker support
a so-called personhood
Constitutional amendment, which would define
life as beginning at conception? That approach
would effectively outlaw
all abortions and some
methods of birth control.
Walker has repeatedly
sidestepped questions
about barring abortions
Matt
after 20 weeks, according
Pommer to The New York Times
story.
The governor also is sidestepping the
Obamacare issue that is going to the U.S.
Supreme Court. Plaintiffs in the case want
to prohibit income-linked subsidies for
health insurance bought through statecreated exchanges. Wisconsin is one of
those states.
Walker ducked the question of how
Wisconsin would respond if citizens were
unable to continue to receive federal subsidies to buy the required insurance. Walker
said that would be up to the Congress to

resolve. Republicans now control both
houses of the Congress.
Another question, Walker could face
his refusal to accept the more than $300
million in additional federal money for
Medicaid. The governor contends he is
worried the federal government wont be
able to finance it in future years and state
taxpayers will have to foot the cost if that
occurs. However, he neglects to mention
that current lawmakers cannot bind future legislatures on what laws to enact or
programs to finance.

choose not to join a union.

To the extent that unions prove to their
members they are worth every dime of
their dues, they will be able to tap into
the power of a satisfied membership.
Members who are pleased with what their
union provides to them will tell others
the positive aspects of the union. Other
workers will be able to determine if those
aspects appeal to them or not, and decide
for themselves if that is something they
want. Given that, Im convinced the best
days of the unions lie ahead.

trucks had hit the barrier. Thankfully, I

did not see one case of where the crashing
vehicle broke through. Tow trucks were
plenty busy Saturday and Sunday and
Im sure so will the body shops in weeks
to come, just for a few hours of bad roads.
We dont exactly retrace our route that

is used going down, as we dont need the
stop at the shopping mall in San Marcos.
We take a little more direct route to reach
I-35, traveling through some remote or
rural area of Texas. A lot of it is cattle
country, or at least it looks like cattle country. There are no ranch houses in sight,
but beautifully decorated signs which
announce the ranchs name.
It is also kind of a historic journey as

you pass through Goliad and Gonzales.
Goliad was first settled in 1747, by the
Spanish, when a mission was established
there two years later.
In 1763, France ceded all that territory
to Spain and the area would become even
more involved in the Mexican War of
Independence in 1812.
The cry, Remember the Alamo was
joined by Remember Goliad when Santa
Anna ordered the execution of all the Texans held prisoner in the Mission in 1836.
Up the road is Gonzales which is where

the Mexican Army wanted their cannon
back and the Texans had a flag made with
the wording Come and Get It where
the fighting was referred to as another
Lexington.
The community of Gonzales was the
only community in Texas to send men to
help defend the Alamo. They sent 32, all
of whom were killed.
Two other communities on U.S. 183

are noticed for their agriculture. Cuero is
called the Turkey Capitol of the World
and you cant miss Luling as its water tower is in the shape of a giant watermelon.
Oil played an important part of the development of that area in the early years
and again now as the new method of sand
fracking is making a name for itself in
the industry. What was once referred to
as a desolate community is now a thriving town with lots of new businesses and
hotel/motels.
While it seems a bit early to start looking for tulips to be popping through the
ground, I did notice a sign of spring in
the basement. Our begonias had sprouts
sending their heads up. So it was time to
get home.

Are we nuts?, we asked ourselves

Tuesday morning, March 3, as we drove
into Loyal in light snow and a weather
forecast that called for below zero readings.
Well, let me tell you it wasnt much better the morning we left Port Aransas and
headed home. It was 57 degrees, but the
temperature started dropping quickly as
we left the Gulf of Mexico waters.
By the time we were in Austin, it had
cooled to slightly above 40 and would continue to drop as we headed north on I-35.
By the time we arrived in Hillsboro,
about 50 miles south of Fort Worth, the
ground was covered with snow. I was hoping the ground temperature would keep
the snow melted that fell on the roadway.
Normally, Fort Worth is one of three
or four cities that tend to offer driving
challenges. We have usually encountered
long stretches of backed-up traffic with
your speed limited to lots of stop and go
driving and maybe a high of 30 or 35 miles
per hour, getting through the worst.
Apparently, most motorists had heeded
the weathermans plea to stay off the highways. There was no backup this time. And
as usually is the case, the closer you get to
a city, the faster the traffic is moving. Out
on the highway we often find ourselves all
alone, while packs of cars and trucks race
to see who can get ahead.
I was trying to be careful and not get too
close to the traffic moving along at 60 miles
per hour when all of a sudden it happened.
Tail lights on the traffic ahead came on
and then a car, in that pack, spun around.
I noticed his smashed-in rear end as we got
closer and he started moving across the
three lanes of traffic to the right shoulder.
The Texas Speedway is just up the road
and I must have used a trick Ive noticed
during auto races on television. I picked
what appeared to be an opening and sailed
right by.
It only lasted a split second, but let me
tell you, that is as close as I ever want to
come to being involved in an accident.
The rest of the way was clear sailing,

but we gave up counting the cars in the
ditch or signs where someone had been.
Years ago, as I-35 was being rebuilt in
Oklahoma and Texas, a cable barrier was
constructed to keep cars from crossing the
median and crashing into traffic going
in the opposite direction. At the time I
thought they were spending a lot of money
for the few times that would be needed.
I was wrong. If there was one time,
there was probably several hundred in
north Texas and Oklahoma where cars or

First grant awarded by the Clark County Community Foundation, Inc.

The Clark County Community Foundation, Inc. (CCCF) recently presented
a $500 Grant to the Calvary Lutheran
Church -- Matthew 25 Neighbors in
Need food pantry program, and the
Neillsville Community Resource Center. The Foundation is pleased to support these local organizations, as they
provide food and other basic need items
to families in need, here in Clark County.
This group, comprised of citizens from
area churches, social service agencies,
current food distribution programs,
and the new Neillsville Community
Resource Center, are all joining forces,
to find workable solutions to hunger and
other issues in our communities. And,
thanks to Thrivent Financial, this CCCF
Grant, also qualified for a $500 matching
Thrivent program grant.
This is the first grant awarded by the
CCCF, and is disbursed from the balances of the unrestricted Clark County
Community Fund. As a newly organized
Community Foundation, the CCCF has
limited resources, from which to award
grants. However, as the Foundation
continues to grow, and donors recognize

the importance and value of supporting
the people and places where they live
or work, the Foundation will be able to
make future grants and give scholarships, that strive to improve the quality
of life, for the citizens and communities
of Clark County.
As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit
organization, the CCCF receives donations from generous individuals or
businesses; that are then awarded as
grants, to qualified organizations or
as scholarships to eligible applicants.

Stuffed leg of lamb

1 c. all-purpose flour
1 (5-lb.) boneless leg of lamb
1 T. salt
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 T. ground black pepper
1 (10-oz.) bag fresh spinach leaves
1 tsp. dried thyme
6 oz. goat cheese, or more if needed
1 tsp. fennel seeds
2 tsp. pine nuts
1 T. sesame oil
Kitchen twine
Remove plastic netting or twine from around the leg of lamb, if any, and open up the
roast on a cutting board. Place the boned side of the roast up. With a sharp paring knife,
cut away any excess fatty areas. Use a sharp knife to cut 1/2-inch deep slits in the meat
about 2 inches apart, to help the meat lie flat. Cover the meat with a sturdy piece of plastic
wrap or a cut-apart food storage bag, and pound the meat with a mallet or the edge of a
small plate until the roast is about 3/4 inch thick everywhere, and 10 to 14 inches square.
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
Sprinkle the upper side of the meat with salt and pepper, and then spread spinach
leaves over the top of the roast to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Break up the goat cheese
and sprinkle it evenly over the spinach, then sprinkle the pine nuts over the cheese.
Roll the roast up into a tight cylinder, and tie the roast together with kitchen twine
at 2-inch intervals. Its okay if a little stuffing protrudes from the sides of the roast.
In a flat dish, mix together the flour, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of pepper, the
thyme, and the fennel seeds, and press the tied roast firmly into the flour mixture to
coat all sides.
Heat the sesame oil in a heavy oven-proof or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat
until the oil shimmers, and sear all sides of the roast, including the ends, to a golden
brown color. Lay the roast into the skillet, place into the preheated oven, and roast to your
desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F for medium,
about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil,
and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
Reuben dip
16 oz. sauerkraut, rinsed and squeezed dry
8 oz. corned beef from deli, shredded
16 oz. shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 c. Thousand Island dressing

1/2 c. mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Thousand Island dressing.
Spread the sauerkraut into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer corned beef over sauerkraut and spread with dijon mustard.
Next put the shredded Swiss cheese over the corned beef and mustard.
Now add the mayonnaise/Thousand Island dressing mix on top of the cheese.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve with toasted party rye bread or crackers.
You can chop the sauerkraut finer to make it easier to dip before making this dish.

February traffic crashes killed 25 people

Last month, 25 people died in traffic
crashes in Wisconsin, which was the
third safest month of February in terms
of traffic fatalities in the last 10 years,
according to preliminary statistics from
the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
Last month also was tied for the fourth
safest month of February since the end
of World War II when the modern highway transportation system started. The
safest month of February, since the end
of World War II, occurred in 2014, with 20
fatalities, and the deadliest was in 1968,
with 73 fatalities.
Traffic fatalities last month were five
more than February, 2014, but two fewer
than the five-year average for February.
As of Feb. 28, a total of 61 people have
died in traffic fatalities during 2015,
including seven pedestrians and one bicyclist. Traffic deaths through February
were eight more than the same period

last year but two fewer than the five-year
average.
The official start of spring is March
20, so it likely will not be too long before
we see more bicyclists, pedestrians,
scooter riders, and motorcyclists traveling on Wisconsin roads, says David
Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau
of Transportation Safety. Drivers will
need to watch for them, especially at
intersections and while making turns or
lane changes. To prevent crashes, drivers
should always eliminate distractions
and pay strict attention to traffic conditions as well as the other roadway users
around them. For their part, bicyclists,
pedestrians, scooter riders, and motorcyclists must obey all traffic signals and
other laws. We all must share the road
safely.

Avian influenza concerns prompt biosecurity reminder for poultry owners

MADISON -- The confir mation of
highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza in
a commercial turkey flock in Minnesota
yesterday is a clear reminder to poultry
owners to take precautions against the
disease, say animal health officials with
the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
The influenza strain is the same one
found in backyard and wild birds in the
Pacific flyway that includes Washington,
Oregon and Idaho. This confirmation is
the first finding in the Mississippi flyway,
so Wisconsin bird owners need to take notice and prepare, says Dr. Paul McGraw,
Wisconsins state veterinarian.
Though the disease is often fatal for
birds, the CDC considers the risk to people
from these highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 infections in wild birds,
backyard flock and commercial poultry,
to be low. No human infections with these
viruses have been detected at this time.
In addition, poultry and eggs are safe
to consume as long as they are properly
handled and meat is cooked to an internal
temperature of 165F.
Its in a poultry owners best interest
to take precautions now to minimize the
effect that HPAI will have on their flock if
the disease makes its way to Wisconsin,
McGraw says.
McGraw recommends the following
six steps for protecting birds from HPAI:
1. Keep your distance: Restrict access
to your property and keep your birds
away from other birds.
2. Keep it clean: Wash your hands
thoroughly before and after working
with your birds. Clean and disinfect
equipment.
3. Dont haul disease home: Buy birds
from reputable sources and keep new
birds separated for at least 30 days.
4. Dont borrow disease: Do not share
equipment or supplies with neighbors or
other bird owners. If you must borrow,
disinfect it first.
5. Know the warning signs: Early detection can help prevent the spread of the
disease. Check your birds frequently. If
you find a sick or dead bird, dont touch it.
6. Report sick birds: Dont wait. If

your birds are sick or dying, call DATCP
at 1-800-572-8981. If you notice dead wild
birds, call the DNRs hotline at 1-800-433-
Road restrictions begin March 13

With temperatures to warm up significantly this week, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has
announced the frozen road declaration will
end statewide effective March 9, at 12:01
a.m. In addition, spring thaw and class II
road restrictions will take effect statewide
on March 13, at 12:01 a.m.
Class II roads include about 1,400 miles
of state highways susceptible to damage
from heavy trucks during the spring thaw
period as frost leaves the ground. More
information regarding class II roadways
and roadway postings can be found on
WisDOTs Web site at: www.dot.wisconsin.
gov/travel/truck/weightrestrictions.htm.
Declaration of spring thaw also means
suspension of most divisible load overweight permits. Because of the spring
thaw, WisDOT permit numbers beginning
with any of the following two-letter codes
will be suspended until further notice:

AC, AG, FF, MI, PB and RF. If the permit
number begins with GG, contact the WisDOT permit office at (608) 266-7320. More
information on overweight permits can be
found at www.dot.wisconsin.gov/business/
carriers/osowgeneral.htm. A recorded
message with information on road restrictions is available by calling (608) 266-8417.
If the permit is for a no-fee Implement of
Husbandry (IoH) or an Agricultural Commercial Motor Vehicle (Ag CMV) contact
the governmental jurisdiction that issued
the permit. For permits issued by WisDOT,
email questions to AgVehicles@dot.wi.gov.
County highways, town roads, and city
and village streets may also be posted or
limited to legal load limits or less. Decisions to place or lift weight restrictions
on those roads are up to local units of
government.

Patrick Irving McFarlane was born on May 14, 1954,
in Riceville, Iowa, the son of Donald A. and Donna F. (nee Duffy) McFarlane.
As a young boy, his family moved to a farm near Willard, where Pat attended
North Willard School. While attending Greenwood High School, he worked at
Barr Minkery. He graduated from Greenwood High School in 1972. Pat married Deborah May Knoll on June 16, 1973, at Holy Family Catholic Church in
Willard. Shortly after their marriage, Pat began a 4-year apprenticeship in
steam and pipe fitting through Chippewa Valley Technical College with Local
383 in Chippewa Falls, which later merged with Local 434 in Mosinee. During
his apprenticeship, he also worked in the woods as a logger, hauled milk on
weekends for Elmdale Cheese Factory, and later for North Hendren Cheese to
provide for his growing family. After becoming certified in his trade, Pat worked
for 33 years with Local 434 until retiring in June 2014. Pat had many interests
in life, but especially loved spending time with his family and grandchildren,
hunting, fishing, anything outdoors, sunrises and sunsets, and the simple things
in life. He enjoyed staying active, often taking long walks with his wife along
scenic country roads or quiet, remote trails. Pat took great pride in his steam
fitting work, never failed a welding test, and was the "Rock Star" of the steam
and pipe fitting world. He worked to live, not lived to work.
He will be dearly missed by his wife, Deb, Glen Flora; his four sons, Scott
(Cathy) McFarlane, Appleton, Dan (Erin) McFarlane, Stevens Point, Dean
(Carrie) McFarlane, Marshfield, and Matt (Carissa) McFarlane, Fall Creek; 11
grandchildren, Amber, Dylan, Darcy, Sean, Beckett, Reid, Crew, Rudy, Payne,
Holly and Owen; his mother, Donna McFarlane, Willard; four sisters, Carol
(Bill) Franz, Colby, Barbara (Rodger) Ashbeck, Greenwood, Kathy (Jeff) Potocnik, Trego, and Donna Marie Jaramillo, Neillsville; three brothers, Allen
McFarlane, Neillsville, David (Pam) McFarlane, Greenwood, and Larry (Bev)
McFarlane, Willard; his mother-in-law, Arlene Knoll, Neillsville; a sister-in-law,
Sue (Butch) Ehlers, Neillsville; a brother-in-law, Lon (Patti) Knoll, Greenwood;
and several nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his father, Donald A. McFarlane; one son, Patrick Irving McFarlane Jr.; one daughter, Baby Girl McFarlane, in infancy; and
his father-in-law, Hank Knoll.
In lieu of flowers, Pat's family asks that donations be given in his name for
a memorial to be established at a later date.

Third time no charm

Despite daring rally, Loyal girls cant
break Assumption playoff hex
with 22 seconds left to play to thwart a mad
Loyal comeback from a 17-point deficit midway through the third period. The Loyal
rally produced its only lead of the game at
50-49 with 2:07 left in the final period, but
Grundhoffer broke a 52-52 tie by taking a
low-post entry pass and making a move in
the lane to give her team a lead. Loyals
Karsyn Rueth threw up a potential tying
shot from the baseline with 14 seconds to
go, but Assumptions Olivia Skibba snared
the rebound and drew a foul. Her two free
throws with 10.9 seconds to go made the
Assumption win a done deal.
Of small consolation to the Greyhounds
is that they finally gave Assumption all it
could handle. Loyal lost the 2013 regional
final game by 20 points and last years
margin was 15, plus the Royals had handed
the Greyhounds a 20-point loss this past
December in a non-conference game.
Early on in the March 5 sectional semifinal, it looked to be another Assumption

Theres a strong possibility that the

Loyal girls basketball team is one of the
five or six best in the state in Division 5.
With Wisconsin Rapids Assumption again
in its path, however, Loyal once more was
unable to reach the pinnacle of high school
athletics -- a state tournament berth.
Loyal fell to Assumption 56-52 in a
March 5 WIAA Division 5 sectional semifinal game played at Waupaca, making it
the third straight year in which the Royals
have ended Loyals season. The 2013 and
2014 losses came in regional title games,
while this years took place one step further along the WIAA tournament trail.
The win sent Assumption to the sectional
semi-final, where it hammered Green Bay
N.E.W. Lutheran 68-48 to move on to the
state tournament this week in Green Bay.

score for a 30-13 lead and Loyal couldnt hit

Loyals first bucket of the second half on
a corner jumper with 4:44 to go in the period. Linzmeiers 3-pointer at the 3:59 mark
pushed the lead back to 17 and seemed to
all but seal the games outcome.
But Loyal did not quit. Beginning with
Benzs two free throws at the 3:40 mark,
the Greyhounds mounted a 10-2 run over
a 78-second span to get the lead into single
digits. Devyn Schoonover helped spark the
rally with a steal, a score and a foul. She
missed the free throw, but Benz got the
rebound and was fouled, and then hit both
throws. Linzmeier scored on a back-door
cut to temporarily slow the Loyal run,
until Morgan Reinwand hit one of two

free throws and Pieper popped a 3-pointer
from the corner at the 2:22 mark of the
third period.
Assumption scored with 1:33 to go.
Reinwand got that hoop back on a driving
score, and Schoonover hit two free throws
after she was fouled on a frenzied sequence
with players from both teams diving to the
floor for loose balls. Grundhoffer slowed
Loyals momentum with a 3-pointer with
30 seconds to go, but Young cut the deficit
back to a manageable eight points at quarters end with two free throws.

Spencer season scuttled

Auburndale pays no heed to Rockets ECC
title in posting 21-point regional win
One might think a regular season conference championship would stand for
something in the post-season playoffs. As
Spencer found out on March 6, it doesnt.
Auburndale was unimpressed by the
Rockets 14-2 season in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference and its 18-4 overall record
coming into the WIAA Division 4 semifinal. The Apaches were dominant from the
opening tip-off, with tight defense limiting
Spencers outside scoring and an efficient
offense racking up points in the paint.
In a Jan. 3 non-conference game between the two teams, Rocket guards Bobby
Pilz and Nate Mercier each scored 23 points
as Spencer came within a point of a win.
In the rematch at Auburndale on March
6, the Apache guards stuck to Mercier and
Pilz like feathers on hot glue, and held them
to a combined 22 points on 6-20 shooting
from the field.
As the Auburndale defense focused its
efforts on the perimeter game, its offense
concentrated on the paint. On numerous
feeds inside to post players Joshua Vanschoick and Alexander Marth, the Apaches
rolled to a 36-16 advantage on points scored
in the lane. Spencer was unable to match
up inside, leading to multiple Apache layups and short jumpers on inside post-ups.
Auburndale controlled the first quarter and led 16-6 until Pilz nailed a jumper
almost from the half-court line as time
expired. The shot did nothing to counter
the Auburndale momentum, as it went
on a 12-1 run to start the second quarter
for a 30-10 lead. Two Pilz buckets kept the
Rockets within 20 at the half.
Miles Weber converted a 3-point play

in the lane to start the second period, but
Apache guard Matthew Nikolay did the
same for Auburndale on its next possession. Another Weber score inside and two
Mercier free throws got Spencers offense
out of its rut, but the Rocket defense could
do little to stop the Auburndale inside
game. Spencer tried some full-court pressure, but Auburndale broke the press with
passes that led to several easy transition
scores.
Mitchell Susa hit a 3-pointer for Spencer with 3:47 to go in the third period and
Weber followed with a baseline move to
get the lead back under 20 points.
Early in the fourth quarter, Pilz hit
back-to-back three pointers and Susa
scored twice, but Auburndale matched every Rocket point. Spencer never got closer
than 17 points at 55-38 with 2:57 left to play.
Spencer shot a dismal 37 percent (14-38)
from the field, including 5-18 on 3-pointers.
The Rockets were 7-11 from the free-throw
line.
Auburndale shot an efficient 64 percent
(21-33) and hit two of eight attempts from
3-point range. The Apaches also enjoyed
an edge from the line, hitting 17 of 23 attempts.
Pilz led Spencer with 16 points, hitting
four 3-pointers. Weber scored nine points
and Mercier was held to six.
Vanschoick hit 8 of 11 short-range
shots for a 19-point game. Marth was 6-8
from the floor for 17 points. Nikolay added
16 points, including a 6-7 effort from the
free-throw line.

In dark times, someone has to hold the light

THE
BORN
LESAR
My dad was a fine mechanic, I recall, and could
fix any part of a vehicle. That meant there was always plenty of work for an unemployed flashlight
holder like myself, say on my back on a dirt floor
for a transmission job, sometimes in a car interior
laying sideways with my head between the seats if
we'd be tearing into some sub-dash wiring. Brake
jobs were common, carburetors constant, and we'd
occasionally tackle a tractor engine overhaul or a
lawnmower leak. Through it all, I was there, one
hand on the flashlight, the other smearing fresh
grease someplace where it was sure to get on a lady's
white dress. I prided myself on that.
Along about 12, I'd reckon, I graduated to the
professional man's flashlight -- the full-fledged
trouble light. This came with an electric cord -- real
men don't need batteries -- and it had a hook to
hang it on things, and it threw light on a mechanic's
workspace like an airport strobe across Runway #6
at O'Hare. When my Dad said to unroll the trouble
light cord and bring it over, I knew we were in for a
big job, and my light-holding skills would be highly
counted upon for the intricate work of the project.
One wrong turn of the wrist, for example, and the
trouble light would clobber Dad's eyes, blinding
him until his next birthday. Drop it and the bulb
would shatter, setting back the work schedule to
unacceptable lengths.
The worst part of a trouble light was the heat.
The back part that shielded the bulb and reflected
the light onto its target grew as hot as red oak embers on a long job, so I'd have to be careful not to
touch it against anything important, like the skin
on Dad's forehead, neck, arms, hands, fingers, well,
you get it. I don't recall causing any major burns,
and I was never demoted back to the flashlight, so
I must have done the job.
Holding a flashlight is not as easy as it sounds.

Big Goals on Sheboygan Harbor

Hello friends,
This week I had a powerful itch to live on the ice and try catching
a rainbow, or brown trout or possibly a trophy northern pike. My
plan was simple, I would head over to Sheboygan, and set up a camp
on the ice, right in the harbor, fish with tip ups, possibly jig as well
and hopefully ice a trophy from Lake Michigan
Wednesday, March 3 -- high 11, low minus 13
There is always a twist, and this week I had a double whammy. My
plan was to spend Wednesday and Thursday on the ice, and then on
Thursday evening I was going to speak to the Manitowoc Fish and
Game City Unit about starting a KAMO Chapter. This agreement was
made two months ago and I was not going to be the one to break it.
Here is the other part of the double whammy, last night I hit the
rack at midnight, with my truck packed for this trip and not long
after I went to bed that nasty virus that wreaks havoc on your lungs
and sinuses hit me and I was one sick puppy. Best description, I
felt like I was drowning! I had to do the trip and I had to speak in
Manitowoc.
About all I can say is this, if you have to get it done, and you are
not well, use DayQuil/NyQuil! So I hit the harbor at 1, I am foreign
to fishing browns and bows through the ice. There is a father and
a son fishing with tip ups and they are set up near the boat launch,
50 yards away someone is in a shack jigging. As always I pimp the
locals for info. I am told that if I put my time in I will at least catch
a gator and quite possibly a brown or bow.
As usual I have ten million pounds of gear, I pre-planned and had
an Otter Sled loaded with three tip ups, my Jiffy Pro 4 and a bucket
of golden shiners. I drill my first hole, hook up a minnow and begin
lowering it in what is about 11 feet of water. As the minnow is swimming down, it begins swimming fast and strong, I realize it is not a
minnow, instead my minnow has been gobbled up by a very large
fish. I set the hook and what I feel is the biggest fish I have had on
this winter takes off like a 747 and cuts/breaks my flurocarbon line.

device in the direction you want the beam of light
to shine, and while that is true to a major degree,
there are subtle skills one must master to reach my
level of performance. The first thing a flashlight
holder has to learn is that you're not performing
this service for yourself, you're holding it for the
person who actually knows how to do something
valuable.
For instance, say we're changing spark plugs on
a car engine. A novice flashlight holder might sit
up on the fender, nonchalantly throwing light to
and fro, but a true expert knows to lean in, extend
the wrist, bend the elbow at a 38 degree angle, and
direct the beam exactly where the mechanic needs
it to be. Oh, sure, occasionally you lose concentration and stick the flashlight under your shirt to see
all the pretty colors, but then your Dad says "Get
the (*^%^ light back down here," and you regroup.
By the way, I'd tell you what (*^%^ actually means,
but Dad said never to repeat it in front of Mom or
the local priest or his aunts, so I'm figuring it don't
belong in the newspaper.
As life will do, it moved along, I grew up, didn't
have time for flashlight holding anymore, and well,
Dad passed away and went to that great garage in
the sky where the kids that hang around don't stick
sharp tools up their noses. I used my

talents occasionally through the years,
maybe holding a flashlight for a friend
as he fixed a busted hose, or looking into
a household repair need with my light to
decide, "Well, gee, this is about all I know
how to do. Better call somebody else."
I hadn't thought about my flashlight
holding experience for quite some time,
until Monday night, when my 17-yearold son, Ben, needed a hand as he added
some transmission fluid to his first truck,
which he bought a few weeks ago.
He climbed up on the bumper to
reach the fill tube, while I stood beside the truck,
holding the flashlight, innately remembering to
point the beam where Ben needed it to be. I'm sure
he didn't realize the level of skill I was bringing to
the job, the practical expertise, the long hours of
practice I'd invested to someday be able to jump
into any situation at a moment's notice and to be
able to not just direct a small shaft of artificial light
on a dark spot, but to illuminate the workspace as
if heaven itself had opened and directed a flood of
sunlight across the earth's face. Until, of course,
Ben said "Get the (*^%^ light back down here."
Huh. Wonder where he picked that up.
Anyway, we got the transmission fluid in, in
no small part because the flashlight was wielded
so precisely. It was strange to be under the hood
again, this time me the adult, with a son of my
own, two guys with dirty hands, fixing something.
It didn't matter that I was still the one holding the
flashlight, 'cuz sometimes in life you just have to
admit there are things at which you have no skill,
and if the best way you can contribute is to hold
the light, well, so be it.
Yeah, and if you think I know how to handle
a flashlight, you ought to see me with a dustpan.
I do not care if this virus kills me; I need to catch a big fish! Lines
are set I begin hauling ten million pounds of gear to campsite. At
this time, I met a really cool dude by the name of Dick Scheifelbein
(guy in the shack). Dick had caught a 12-pound brown, a 36-inch gator
and three other fish. I get some great info and begin setting up camp.
Bad luck kind of came my way when a pole breaks on my Eskimo
Fat Fish 13x7 foot cabin on the ice as I am attempting to set it up. The
Fat Fish has been used hard and put to bed wet for three winters,
with help of new friends on the ice shack is kind of put up.
A flag goes up on one of my tip ups and I catch what is probably
the fattest 31-inch gator that I have ever seen. It gets dark, I love
the ice, I want spring to wait another month, I am sick, who cares,
I have NyQuil.
Thursday, March 5 -- high 14, low minus 13
I slept on the ice once again last night. Two propane lights, a Mr.
Heater, my body on a cot and inside of two sleeping bags.
I was up at first light this morning and the flags were flying once
the sun was high. I caught another 31-inch gator a smaller one, had
several fish drop the minnow, which I was told is a brown trout trait
and I caught a five-pound brown which was my goal. I heard so many
stories of true monsters being caught and missed here that I might
return in a few days.
Tonight, I headed over to Manitowoc and gave that talk to a full
house of outdoorsmen and women. Folks in that area, many of you
read this column, you can have a KAMO chapter, there is already
one just north of you near Maribel.

I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert

flashlight holder. Fixing a broken hose behind
the washing machine in a dingy basement with
enough cobwebs hanging in the shadows to knit
an afghan and need a little illumination? I'm
your guy. Got a leak in your car's manifold filter
piston adapter and can't get duct tape on it with
only one hand? Call me. We'll talk rates. But I
don't come cheap.
Expert flashlight holders aren't easy to find
these days, not that they ever were, come to think
of it. See, most people are capable of fixing things
by themselves, so they are actively involved in the
repairs at hand. There are a few folks, though, like
me, who are thoroughly incapable of repairing
even the most minor broken piece or part, so,
therefore, the flashlight is handed to us. And it
is there we shine, pun intended.
My Dad recognized early on that I was mostly
a klutz in a garage, a lad who looked at a screwdriver and thought, "Yikes, that's a nasty-lookin'
nose picker." When he'd hand me a wrench, I'd
drop it a full drain oil pan; when he'd ask me to
hand him a 3/8" socket, I'd produce a ball-peen
hammer. Once, after he tried for six hours to
teach me the "lefty-loosey, righty-tighty" formula
for loosening and tightening bolts, he ... well,
maybe we won't go there right now. Let's just say
there were tears involved, and they weren't mine.
When I was 9 or 10, I'd guess, Dad started
to entrust me with an important part of certain
repair procedures -- the flashlight. He'd be
working on a carburetor, say, and the car hood
would block the room's ambient light, and he'd
say, "Hey, Dean, get that screwdriver out of your
nostril and come over here and hold the light."
I'd run over, of course, proud as a peacock that
my Dad needed my able assistance, even if my
hand was as unsteady as a dried leaf in the wind.

Clark County offers drinking water testing

NEILLSVILLE -- More than 60 percent
of Clark County residents get their drinking water from a private well. Homeowners, who use a private well and rely on
groundwater for their drinking water,
are responsible for making sure their
water is safe to drink. Results from the
2014 Clark County Drinking Water Testing and Education Program show that
37 percent of the private wells tested in
the county contained contaminants that
made the drinking water unsafe.
On Sept. 15, 2014, more than 75 households in Clark County participated in
Clark Countys Drinking Water Education Program. These homeowners had
their drinking water tested at the Water
& Environmental Analysis Lab (WEAL)
in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Most homeowners found out that their water is safe
to drink. Yet, some homeowners were
surprised to learn that their drinking
water has nitrates, bacteria, and other
contaminants, such as arsenic, copper
or lead and that their water was unsafe
to drink.
This spring the Clark County Land
Conservation Department is teaming up
with UW-Extension and the University
of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Center for
Watershed Science and Education to offer
Clark County residents another chance
to participate in drinking water testing
and education. The testing being offered
includes nitrates, bacteria, pH, alkalinity, hardness, conductivity, corrosivity,
chloride, arsenic, lead, copper, iron, zinc,
calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium,

sulfate, and the pesticide atrazine.
Normally these tests would cost $120,
but the Clark County Land Conservation
Department is offering the testing at a
reduced price of $50. The reduced-price
testing will only be offered to the first
100 households to pre-register. However,
anyone is welcome to sample their drinking water at any other time of the year
at full price.
Households who would like to participate need to pick up sampling bottles
on April 1 or April 2, at one of two locations in Clark County. Pick up locations
are located in Neillsville and Owen. On
April 6, participants collect their water
samples in the morning and return them
as soon as possible to the same place they
picked up their bottles. The samples will
be analyzed at WEAL the next day.
Approximately one month after water samples are collected, participants
can attend a free educational program
where they will learn about their drinking water testing results, learn about
Clark Countys groundwater quality and
quantity, and have an opportunity to get
their specific drinking water questions
answered.
Pre-registration is required. The
deadline to pre-register is March 25.
To pre-register call the UW-Extension
Department at 715-743-5121. For more
information about this opportunity, call
the Land Conservation Department at
715-743-5102.

Loyal, from page 9
Loyals Jaelynn Young pressures Assumptions Kara Milkey in the backcourt as the
Royals try to run out the clock in their WIAA Division 5 sectional semi-final win on
March 5 in Waupaca.
on its first possession of the final period, Karsyn Rueth kicked the large Loyal crowd
into a frenzy with a 3-pointer from the top of the arc to cut the gap to 41-36. After a Royal
free throw, Reinwand pump-faked her defender and drove to the hoop for a score, then
hit a free throw on the Greyhounds next possession to slice the lead to 42-39. Linzmeier
answered with two free throws. Schoonover hit two from the line for Loyal with 4:58 left
to play.
After Benz grabbed a weak-side offensive rebound and scored to keep the Royal lead at
four points with 4:37 left, Grundhoffer hit another perimeter jumper and Macie Zurfluh
hit a driving basket to extend the lead back to six. A passing turnover by Loyal gave
Assumption the ball back, but the Royals traveled to wipe out their chance to increase
the lead.
Reinwand drove for another hoop for a 49-45 score with 2:58 left. Young was fouled
while working the glass after a missed Royal shot, and she converted one free throw.
Young then stole the ball in the Royal backcourt and went the distance for a lay-up to get
the Greyhounds within a point. They finally took the lead with 2:07 left when Reinwand
jumped a pass for a steal and score.
Grundhoffers two free throws gave Assumption the lead back with 1:56 to go. After yet
another Loyal turnover on a bad pass, Linzmeier hit one of two free throws for a 52-50 lead.
With just under a minute to play, Young drove to the basket and pulled up for a 1-hander
off the glass to tie the score. Assumption called time-out with 33 seconds to go, setting
up a play for Grundhoffer. She hit the shot in the paint with 22 seconds to go.
Loyal did not call time-out. In transition, Rueth pulled up from the baseline with 14
seconds to go, but her shot was off the mark and Skibba was there for the rebound. Loyal
fouled her with 10.9 seconds to go, but she hit both free throws. Trailing by four with less
than 10 seconds left, Loyal turned the ball over and did not get a final shot.
Assumption hit 44 percent (20-45) of its shots on the night, including 3-8 on 3-pointers.
Loyal shot 39 percent (15-39) and hit four of nine from beyond the arc. Loyal held an edge
at the line, hitting 18 of 25. Assumption was 13 of 21.
Benz led Loyal with 13 points, Reinwand scored 11, and Pieper added nine on 3-4
shooting from 3-point range.
Grundhoffer scored 22 points for Assumption and Linzmeier scored 21. The two players took 28 of Assumptions 45 shots.
