Parade preparation
The scene at the staging area for the 45th

Annual Abbotsford Christmas Parade
on Dec. 5 was one of much hustle and
bustle, as the 450 people who participate
in the event as costumed characters,
float-pushers, drivers, etc., get set for
the show. At left, Dylan Bender, who
played Cookie Monster, gets some
fresh air without his costumed head
as the parade is set to start. At middle
left, Little Bo Peep Tara Garneski tends
to her sheep before their walk through
Abbotsfords downtown for the large
crowd assembled to see them. At middle
right, Dave Loucks gets ready to shake
hands with hundreds of youngsters in
his annual role as Big Bird. At lower
left, a pair of volunteers who man the
Blues Clues float wait to perform their
behind-the-scenes jobs. At lower right,
Anita Schmeiser and Deb Weiss are set
to go in their Tweedle-Dee and TweedleDum outfits. The Abbotsford parade is
not just a onenight effort,
as dozens of
people work
throughout the
year to make
and repair
costumes,
build and
maintain floats,
and take care
of all the details
that make
it a holiday
favorite.

Spring 2016
election
activity starts
Wisconsin voters may or may not still
have a say in the presidential primary decision when the states spring election day
comes around on April 5, but area voters
will have choices to make for various city,
school and county representation. Candidate filing activity for those elections
has already started, with the deadline for
getting names on ballots coming on Jan. 5.
One incumbent school board member
has already declared that he will not seek
a new term in spring. Adam Luchterhand,
an at-large member of the Loyal Board
of Education, has filed a non-candidacy
statement so that seat will be open to any
district resident for the next election. Fellow Loyal Board incumbents Paul Gries
(area south of Highway 98) and Deb Roedel
(area north of Highway 98) will be seeking new terms, but anyone in their areas
is free to file paperwork by Jan. 5 to run
against them.
Other area school districts will also
be holding elections in spring. In Spencer, incumbents Jerry Wienke and Eric
Zenner are at the end of their terms. In
Granton, incumbent Dennis Kuehn is the
lone member up for election this spring. In
Greenwood, incumbent Board President
Russell Dean (city of Greenwood) and Bill
Herr (northeast quadrant of the district)
are up for new terms.
In local cities and villages, Greenwood
will elect a mayor in April and others will
elect council/board members. Greenwood
Mayor Jim Schecklmans second 2-year
term expires next year, as do the terms of
Ward 2 Council member Mary Domanico
and at-large member Tracy Nelson. In
Loyal, Council members Tim Froeba and
Dave Geier (Ward 1) and Jim Batchelor
and Tom Bobrofsky (Ward 2) are up this
year. In Spencer, voters will elect three
Village Board members, with the terms of
incumbents Harry Toufar, Wayne Hagen
and Diane Maurer about to expire.
All 29 members of the Clark County
Board of Supervisors are also up for new
2-year terms this spring. In Marathon
County, incumbent Maynard Tremelling
represents the Spencer area, and is also
up for re-election if he seeks another term.
Incumbents who will not run for new
terms are to file non-candidacy statements
by Dec. 28, and all candidates who want
their names on ballots must file proper
papers by Jan. 5. A primary election will
be held on Feb. 16 if enough candidates
seek office.

FoodShare: Maybe better than you think

by Peter Weinschenk
Edgar Record Review
According to the Pew Research Center,
just about the same percentage of American conservatives have received a major
government entitlement during their
lifetime as liberals. The percentage is 57
percent for conservatives, 53 percent for
liberals. Yet, the two camps dont agree
at all whether government assistance to
individuals is a good way to spend taxpayers money. Its a key disagreement in an
increasingly polarized America.
Take FoodShare, for instance. The
Pew Research Center reports 17 percent
of both American liberals and conservatives have benefited from the food assistance program. Conservatives, however,
argue that the program creates dependency and subsidizes laziness. They support work requirements for FoodShare
recipients. Liberals, on the other hand,
argue that a persons basic needs must
be met before he or she can be independent. They oppose tighter restrictions on
FoodShare eligibility.
So, who is right? The liberals? The
conservatives?
New data out of Marathon County suggests that nobody has the exact answer.
Starting this year, Wisconsin joined an
increasing number of states to require
that able-bodied childless adults find
work or lose their Food Share benefits.
Here in Marathon County, the work
requirement seems to have an impact.
Back in August, the county had 14,300
people on FoodShare. By September,
when the work requirement went into
effect, the number had fallen by 257
people. In October, the number of FoodShare recipients had dropped another 231
people to 13,812. The two-month drop of
488 people represents a decrease of 3.4
percent in the county program.
Now, is this a good thing? A bad thing?

Its hard to know. The private firm that
manages the countys FoodShare Training and Employment Program (FSTEP)
reports that 110 FoodShare recipients in
Marathon County have been directed to
work since April.
This means that work requirements
were theoretically effective for one person out of four. Three out of four FoodShare recipients, however, have elected
to go without the government-provided
nutrition.
The numbers parallel state trends.
The Department of Health and Human
Services reports that, while nearly 15,000
able-bodied, childless adult FoodShare
recipients were trimmed from the FoodShare program statewide since September, only about 4,500 people have received
FSTEP employment.
What we have is a messy result. The
work requirement apparently does
encourage employment, but at the cost
of denying nutrition to poor, albeit ablebodied adults. One wonders, then, what
these people denied FoodShare will do
to eat. Sell drugs for money? Engage in
prostitution? Raid a relatives refrigerator? Rely on community food pantries?
And one wonders, too, about the longterm consequence of not getting aid.
Consider the case of a man or woman
who, while poor, cant work the required
20 hours a week to qualify for FoodShare
because he or she is obligated to take sick
parents to the hospital for cancer treatments. FoodShare may have been the one
thing keeping that persons world from
blowing apart. And now it is gone.
To qualify for FoodShare, a single
individual must earn less than a gross
income of $1,276 a month. Thats the

Johnson: Words dont match action

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman
of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, issued this
statement on Dec. 6, following President
Obamas address on the threat of terrorism and the fight against ISIS:
On Sept. 4, 2014, President Obama
stated Americas goal was to degrade
and ultimately defeat ISIS. I immediately
stated that I agreed with that goal and that
I would back the president once he laid
out and fully committed to an effective
strategy to accomplish it. To date -- and
tonights status-quo speech was no exception -- he has done neither.
As is often the case, tonight I agreed
with much of what President Obama said.
Unfortunately, far too often the presidents
actions do not match his words. That will
Where will Walkers policies lead him?

Everything is not hokey-dokey in
Wisconsin.
Thats the explanation given by
Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School Poll, to the Los Angeles Times this summer to explain the
collapse of Gov. Scott Walkers bid for
the Republican presidential nomination.
The governor had hoped his record
as Wisconsins chief executive would
capture Republican enthusiasm, starting
in Iowa. He raised some $5 million before
the first debate and was spending $25,000
a day on campaign staff, Time Magazine
reported. But poll numbers and contributions declined sharply in the wake of
the debate. U.S. News & World Report
told readers that Walker spent like a
drunken sailor, including putting his
two sons on the campaign payroll.
Walker recently used e-mails to help
retire his campaign debt: It is my hope
you and all of our supporters will chip in
and make an online contribution of $10,
$25, $50, $100, $250 or more so we can end
this campaign in the black.
The latest Marquette poll showed less
than 40 percent of Wisconsinites viewed
Walker favorably. Then a national survey
showed Walker had the fourth-lowest
acceptance rate of the nations 50 governors. Running for president while
serving as governor was very unpopular.
Controversy has dominated Walkers
years as governor. He dropped a policy
bomb on public employee unions gutting their bargaining rights. He bragged
in Iowa his changes made it easier to
fire teachers. He also approved making
Wisconsin a right-to-work state for
private-sector unions.
Changes to the states mining laws
were made, aimed at economic growth.
Later it was found a mining company
had given $700,000 to help defeat a recall

of Walker. But the company never moved
ahead with the mine, setting back the
promises and hopes of economic development in the north.
There were changes to affect the poor.
Despite legal setbacks in other states,
Wisconsin moved to require many of
those receiving unemployment compensation or food stamps to undergo
drug testing.
Major budget decisions included
rejecting hundreds of millions of additional federal money for Medicaid under Obamacare. Walker,
perhaps with an eye on
the White House, said he
didnt think the federal
government could afford
it. Meanwhile, Republican governors in Iowa
and Ohio had fashioned
plans to use the Medicaid monies.
With the state government facing an ecoMatt
nomic pinch, state aid
Pommer to the University of Wisconsin System campuses
was reduced. Walker tried, but later
retreated, to change the universitys
Wisconsin Idea. Statutory tenure for
faculty was replaced.
Expanding voucher aid for private
schools, including using some public
school aid, dominated local education.
Election laws were changed. Voters
will be required to show a photo ID when
they get to the polls next year. Absentee
voting hours were reduced. Critics said
the changes will make it harder for the
elderly, students and poor to vote in
Wisconsin elections. Campaign donation
limits were dramatically increased.
All the changes may make little difference in legislative elections. Only 10
percent of the districts are considered
competitive in the wake of Republican
gerrymandering.
Leaders in the Republican-controlled
Legislature this summer flirted with
gutting the states Open Records law,
but retreated as public outrage grew and
newspaper editorials poured in. But the
Legislature did change the way elections
and ethics are administered, creating
two partisan-dominated commissions.
Whats ahead for Walker? His answer
in the fund-raising e-mails was, While I
dont know what the future holds, trust
me, we will continue leading the fight
for big, bold, conservative changes in
Wisconsin and across America.

undoubtedly be the case again.

It has been 15 months since President
Obama stated his goal. The recent string
of terror attacks -- the Russian airliner
blown out of the sky over Egypt, the Beirut bombing, and the attacks in Paris,
Mali, and now San Bernardino -- prove
that ISIS is neither a JV team nor contained. Fifteen months without defining
and committing to a winning strategy is
simply too long.
Every day that ISIS is not overtly losing, it is perceived as winning, and it will
continue to inspire and gain adherents
throughout the world. ISIS, every form
of Islamic terror, and every Islamic terrorist organization must be pursued and
defeated -- the sooner the better.
I stand ready to support the president
as soon as he fully commits to a winning
and decisive strategy.

equivalent of working full-time (40 hours) at $7.97 per hour. The FoodShare benefit
is worth $195 a month.
The states new rules can hardly be considered harsh or particularly punitive. The
regulations only require that able-bodied people without children work. Exemptions
are offered for those with a physical or mental disability, who are on Social Security
and are enrolled in drug or alcohol counseling, or employment training. Recipients
can even volunteer in lieu of actual work.
Still, one has to wonder what kind of misery can follow the person shut out from
FoodShare and, unhappily, falls through the cracks of this life.
We find ourselves at the start of the holiday season. Christmas is near. We all
will have opportunities to donate to local charities and food pantries who serve our
local needy population. It might be a good idea to put a dollar in that donation pot.
Or offer up a couple cans of soup.
Think of it as insurance. Because, whether conservative or liberal, you might be
utterly wrong about FoodShare.

that Clark County had been denied a

request to install a police radio system.
The War Production Board had decided
there was not sufficient justification and
a shortage of materials.
Then there was a pile of papers on

which the date is missing. One item
caught my attention. It was a classified and someone had lost their crank
between Jim Syths and Eaton Center
Cheese Factory.
This was well before the rural address
system. An auction was described as
on my farm known as the Frank Budke
old place, two miles east and 1 1/4 miles
north of Greenwood or 1 1/4 from Shilling Station.
The C. C. Hoehne Hardware Store was
advertising the Coleman Quick-Lite. It
had 300 candle power and you could light
it with a common match.
Another paper without a date ran

some area news. The Willard news told of
the ball game between Tioga and Hewittville, which the former won, 11 to 5.
Albert Susa is thinking of moving
to Gorman because Willard isnt big
enough.
Potato digging was the order of the
day in Heintown and John Schmidt was
a business caller at Neillsville and since,
has been wearing his hat on one side.
I never heard of Latart, but the news
there was that most of the young people
from Beaver took in the dance at Riplinger on Saturday night.
It was also reported that Ezra Scovil
purchased six cows at Stantons auction
Saturday. He also visited relatives at
Warners Corners on Sunday.
In the Eaton Center news it was reported that cows sold as high as $102.
Then over in the Janesville Settlement,
Joe Lokatich raised his barn on Thursday and Mrs. Dillenbeck and Roger motored to Neillsville.
Another piece of a paper had no date,

but a story told of the growth in bank deposits in 1917, compared to the previous
year. Total deposits grew from $3,099,096
to $4,169,845. There were eighteen banks
in the county at the time and the article
described Clark County as a county of
milk, honey and money.

Almost a third of the way through the

month of December and we are reaching
the magical day -- the shortest day of the
year. While we are still losing daylight at
the rate of a minute a day, there is good
news. Sunset time has about reached its
lowest point.
With a month of above-normal weather in November, the same is holding true
so far in December and that is just fine
with me. I do feel sorry for the kids who
have no snow to slide on or no ice to
skate on, but so far I have escaped falling
because of the stuff.
I also feel sorry for those snowmobilers who are waiting to get their sleds out.
I noticed, the other day, someone from the
snowmobile club was busy putting up
trail signs in anticipation of what may
be coming.
The same can be said about the county
highway department which has lots of
steel posts in place, but still no fence.
Hopefully, it will be there by the time it
is needed.
While my column list of ideas keeps

growing, I glance at my stack of old
Greenwood Gleaners and think I need
to get through them some day. So here it
goes again this week.
The Sept. 7, 1944 issue carried a story
about the death of Norman Bud Wallis somewhere in France, on Aug. 10.
Elsewhere in the issue is a list of seven
other Greenwood area servicemen who
had lost their lives in World War II. They
were J. T. Leach, Warren Oswald, Henry
Johnson, Stephen Arch, Richard Hinker,
Lee Blecha and Kermit Brown.
The Oct. 19, 1944 issue carried a story
of the death of yet another serviceman,
Herbert Humke. He had been in the
army air force and had been stationed in
England before being killed on Sept. 20.
Elsewhere in that issue was a picture of
a serviceman modeling a new uniform

Tis the season -- for online holiday shopping scams

Online gift shopping during the holiday season opens
up the market to scammers using fake shipping emails to
spread malware or gather personal or banking information. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade
and Consumer Protection (DATCP) warns consumers
to be on the lookout for these fake emails and to avoid
clicking links or opening attachments in these messages.
Whether you shop online or not, expect to start seeing
fraudulent package delivery and order status emails in
your account, said Frank Frassetto, Division Administrator for Trade and Consumer Protection. This ploy
occurs year-round, but the holiday shopping season is a
chance for scammers to increase their spam email output
and sneak them in around legitimate shipment emails
that consumers might also be receiving.
Look out for emails or texts that warn you about a
problem with a delivery, that ask for account information for security purposes, or that ask you to open an
attached shipment label in order to claim a package
from a local office. Scammers often use the names, logos
.<(9(5;,,+05=,:;4,5;
*LU[YHS)VPSLY6\[KVVY>VVK-\YUHJL
and color schemes of major shipping companies and

retailers to add legitimacy to their messages, and they
may also spoof the companys web address (URL) in the
senders email address.
If you question whether an email link is legitimate,
hover the mouse over the link (but dont click it!). At the
bottom of your browser window, you can view the URL
where the link will actually take you.
Look out for the following red flags in your inbox this
holiday season:
-- Messages claiming that there is a problem with a
shipment or your account. These emails will ask you to
provide personal or banking information or to complete
a form on a linked page in order to fix the supposed problem. Do not reply or click any links in the email!
-- Poor grammar and spelling errors in emails that
claim to come from major organizations. If the message
is sloppy, it likely did not come from a legitimate business.
-- Sender addresses that dont match the URL for the
company that supposedly sent the email. For example, the
From: line in a fake FedEx email read: From: FedEx
Express Saver (support_@myfasthair.com)
-- Shipment emails that lack specifics about the sender
or the packages supposed contents.
-- Emails asking you to open an attachment in order
to review an order. Never open an attachment in an unsolicited or questionable email.
-- Emails containing threats that a package will be
returned to the sender and you will be charged a fee for
not responding to the message.
In actuality, there is
no product waiting for
delivery, and the alarming
language in these emails

Wilmer Peterson
Wilmer E. Peterson, 82, Greenwood, passed away on
Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2015, at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital
in Marshfield. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m., on
Saturday, Dec. 5, at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in
Greenwood. Rev. Brian Campbell officiated. Burial followed in the Greenwood City Cemetery. Military rites
were conducted by the Greenwood American Legion
Post #238. Pallbearers were Ed Peterson, Larry Peterson,
Jeff Peterson, Allan Thomas, John Hyde, Tim Bremel
and Kenny Bretl.
Wilmer Earl Peterson was born on May 28, 1933, in the
town of Raymond, rural Racine, the son of Edward and
Verlie (nee Paap) Peterson. He was raised on the family farm and received his education in the Racine area. Wilmer graduated from
Waterford High School, in Waterford, in 1951. After completing his education, he
worked for the J.I. Case Company in Racine. Wilmer entered the U.S. Army on May
21, 1953, and served during the Korean War until his honorable discharge on May
12, 1955. He returned to Racine and went to work for Payne-Dolan Construction
Company. Wilmer married Marjorie A. Dillonaire on Feb. 1, 1958, at the Grange
Avenue Methodist Church in Racine. In 1973, he left construction and bought a
farm just north of Greenwood, and farmed until 1988. He then went back to work
for Payne-Dolan Construction Company, while residing in Greenwood, until
retiring in 1998. During his retirement, he managed the American Legion Hall
in Greenwood, and also led the Honor Guard for parades and funerals. He was
a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church, the Greenwood American Legion
Post #238, the Neillsville VFW Post #2241, and the 40 & 8 Group 821 Wisconsin,
where he held offices in all. He was recognized as the Greenwood Dairy Days

The Adler-Clark Electric Community

November crashes took 45 lives

A total of 45 people were killed in
traffic crashes last month, according to
preliminary statistics from the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
Traffic fatalities last month were six fewer
than November, 2014 and two fewer than
the five-year average for the month of
November.
Last month also was the fourth safest
month of November in terms of traffic
deaths since World War II. The safest
month of November since World War II
occurred in 2012 with 36 traffic fatalities,
and the deadliest was in 1973 with 110
fatalities.
Four people died in crashes during the
Thanksgiving holiday period from 6 p.m.
on Nov. 25, to midnight on Nov. 29.
As of the end of November, 520 people

have died in Wisconsin traffic crashes this

year, including 75 motorcycle operators,
four motorcycle passengers, 52 pedestrians and 15 bicyclists. Traffic deaths
through November were 65 more than
during the same period in 2014 and eight
more than the five-year average.
"To prevent deaths and injuries during
the upcoming holiday season, law enforcement agencies will be on the lookout for
drunken drivers during the national Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign from
Dec. 18 to Jan. 3," says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. "Drunken driving is entirely
preventable, and we're striving to attain
zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin. There's no better time of year to make
progress toward that goal than right now."

We had a great turn out Sunday to visit with Santa, and to enjoy the
cookies, hot chocolate, and hot cider that was there for everyone who
came. There was also beautiful singing by four lovely young ladies and
hayrides for the kids (and even their parents enjoyed it). The trees were
majestic looking in their beautiful lights and several people commented on
what a nice scene it is driving into town! The day started about 3 p.m., and
went on until after 6 when our toes were getting cold ...
Thank you to the many contributors who baked and brought cookies,
those who served the food and drink, the owner and driver of the hayride,
those who decorated trees, the organizers of the event, everyone who
came, and Chuck Rueth who made everything happen.
Once again, Christmas 2015 got off to a great start!
And soon well hear the patter of reindeer on our roofs and Santa coming
down the chimney to leave gifts for the family. Families will get together to
celebrate with a lovely dinner and camaraderie. And then it will be 2016.

Loyal High School. He attended UW-La Crosse and then

UW-Marshfield where he earned an Associates Degree.
After working in various occupations in the private sector,
he started working for the USPS in May of 2005 as a clerk
at the Central Wisconsin Processing and Distribution
Facility in Rothschild.
He also worked as a steward for the American Postal
Workers Union (APWU) in the same facility from Oct. of
2006 to Aug.of 2007. In August of 2007 he transferred to a
clerk position at the Marshfield Post Office, with the goal
of going into management.
He served as the Officer In Charge (acting postmaster)
of the Auburndale Post Office from Jan. through April of
2009. After his return to Marshfield as a clerk, he ran for
office with the APWU and was elected in 2010 as a steward
and trustee.
He served in those three roles until July of 2014, when
he became an acting supervisor at Marshfield and had
to relinquish his positions with the APWU to become a
manager.
He officially got the Supervisor of Customer Service job
in Marshfield in Dec. of 2014. He served in that capacity
until July when he came to the Medford Post Office as the
officer in charge.
He officially became the Medford Postmaster on Nov.
14 with the swearing in ceremony taking place last week.
I have enjoyed my brief time here in Medford and am
very much looking forward to a long tenure here, he said.
Put layaway surprises on hold

MADISON -- Layaway is a popular option for consumers looking to hold the hottest gifts at the store without
paying the full price upfront. To avoid layaway surprises,
the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection (DATCP) asks shoppers to read
and understand each stores respective policies before
they make an initial down payment.
Remember that some stores require a setup fee to
lock down an item and you may also pay an additional
fee if you have to cancel the layaway, said Frank Frassetto, division administrator for Trade and Consumer
Protection.
DATCP offers the following tips to help research a
layaway program:
Layaway terms: Find out how much time you have to
make all of the required payments, when the payments
are due and the minimum payment required.
Ask about service or setup fees.
Refund policies: If you decide you dont want the
merchandise after youve made some or all the payments,
can you get a refund? Ask upfront.
Get the merchants layaway policy in writing and
keep receipts of the payments you make on the merchandise. These documents may come in handy if you have
a problem with the seller.
For additional information or to file a complaint, visit
the Consumer Protection Bureau at datcp.wisconsin.gov,
call the Consumer Information Hotline at 800-422-7128 or
send an e-mail to datcphotline@wisconsin.gov.

over the next 10 noon hours in the principal's office.
Talk about your post-battle briefings.
In a speech that lasted about as long as an
average waterboarding session -- but made you
feel more like you were being tortured -- Obama
referred directly by name to ISIL 14 times, which is
better free advertising than having Jennifer Lopez
wear your company's V-neck T-shirt at the Super
Bowl halftime show. And about that -- why does
Obama insist on calling the group ISIL, when everyone else on the planet calls it ISIS? Is it a speech
impediment thing? Is he trying to convince us that
he knows more than we do just because he uses a
different name? Or -- and this is a scary thought
-- maybe he's planning to destroy the Indiana
Shelter for Illiterate Lawyers, and we've all just been
misunderstanding. I mean, yeah, lawyers should
know how to read, I get it, but utter destruction
seems a bit harsh.
I also thought it was interesting -- no, make that
profoundly disturbing -- that the President started
one of his sentences with "My fellow Americans," as
if invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehow
reassure the nation that everything possible is being
done to combat a threatening and dangerous enemy. Because, as we all remember -- at least those of
us who were born before the country realized that
Bob Dylan really can't sing -- Nixon implemented
a strategy known as "Vietnamization" in which
American "advisors" were supposed to teach South
Vietnamese people who knew less about modern
combat techniques than Hagar the Horrible how
to defeat a determined North Vietnamese force
with sticks and some paper leaflets dropped out
of a helicopter. In an infamous policy that dates
back farther than the start of that last sentence, it
failed more miserably than Mason Crosby's gamewinning field goal try against Detroit last month.

Deer Camp! The best place on Earth!

Hello friends,
This is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red
Brush Gang. We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each November,
which we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area.
By the last day of the season, over 25 people will have slept in it,
and let me tell ya folks, we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of fun.
Saturday, Nov. 21 -- high 35, low 22
The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and
with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something age
range, the evening is just a blast for us conservative old timers to
watch.
There were several wrestling matches and yours truly would
obtain, rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entire
nine-day season. The head wound was so ugly that I refused to look
at it the first six days I was in camp.
Last night I cooked my meal for the season, which was scalloped
potatoes and ham, a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squash.
In reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gang.
Once the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of the
season and have someone else prepare your meals.
On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about
15-square miles.
Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as night
was becoming day, and that was confirmed when it became light
enough. Ryan had what he described was an incredibly easy shot
at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread. Ryans trophy had a very
busted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangs
big buck contest.
About three miles north, Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old son,
Derek, were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage. Just
like last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolves
and later in the day they relocated. Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointer
going through the brush and made some venison.
Back in the area of our camp, Dick Schuster (who is in his mid
60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

it couldn't be done.
What can't be done, at least in my opinion and
that of all the hawkish members of the right-wing
Congressional caucus, is defeat ISIS with the current strategy of drone strikes, random bombing,
Special Forces operations (whatever the heck that
entails), and hoping that the terrorists run out of
suicide bombers before the Middle East runs out
of mosques, public markets, schools and hotels
that can be blown up. Instead of direct, aggressive
and massive-if-necessary military intervention,
we're relying on such tactics as passive economic
sanctions against Yemeni government officials who
may be selling cotton to ISIS to make comfortable
and loose-fitting underwear for militant fighters,
or requiring that TSA officials at airports around
the country now politely ask Arab women if there's
any possible chance that they might now be, or
have ever considered, carrying out global jihad
while posing as a Pakistani woman studying to be
a home ec teacher.
I will say for the record that I have generally
supported President Obama in his seven years in
the White House, his Chicago Bears support aside.
However, on this issue, I believe he has shown
less leadership than a vegan at a pork producers
convention. When this country most needs a com-
mander-in-chief who's willing to use the

$560 billion annual U.S. defense budget
for what it's there for, we're getting a guy
who seems to be thinking, "Geez, just 11
more months to go and I'll be out of here
so the history books can blame the war
on ISIL on somebody else."
It's not that I'm pro-war, not by any
means, but sometimes a menace comes
along that is so frightening and capable
of causing global terror and suffering
that world leaders must act. I mean, I
remember the time in my childhood
sandbox, when me and my green plastic
army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endless
peaceful times, when a blue army suddenly
appeared (a whole bag of them, as a Christmas
present, ironically), and I suddenly had to make
the call of whether to stop the invasion either by
full-on combat or to battle the insidious threat less
aggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legislation that would raise the sales tax on bags of blue
army guys, thereby limiting their numbers over,
you know, say, the next 10 years or so.
Well, you can bet which action I chose, and
it's probably likely that some blue army guy
body parts are still buried where my sandbox
battlefield once stood under the box elder trees
in our yard. Let our President heed that historical
lesson, that some enemies of peace and freedom
cannot be beaten by words and sanctions and
mind-numbingly ineffective policies based on
a"Let's cross our fingers and hope they go away"
mission statement.
I mean, just think, had I not confronted the
blue army guy menace 40 years ago, I might now
be a screwed-up, graying nobody pretending he's
an expert on foreign policy.
Oh, shaddup.
on a six-pointer, tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in its neck.

These three guys would be buck brothers for the night. As far
as the rest of the gang goes, over half of us did not see a deer.
Selina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the
water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshs and then
freezing into half/ice pushed the deer out of our area. In two days
of dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer.
Tonight, as I have done for 44 consecutive years, headed over to
Necedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
On Monday, after a very lively Sunday night at camp, we began a
different method of hunting deer, which is big drives that literally
cover a square mile.
Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass. All of us find
out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and today
we had pretty steady action and not such good success.
None of the adults has a doe tag. There are three kids that do.
Three bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them would
have won the big buck contest.
That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they both
missed. The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult to
travel through. The marsh grass, grabs your legs above the ice and
you have to break ice to make the next step forward.
On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll, his dad Jeff Moll (40
consecutive years) Doug Cibulka, Selina and myself.
We ate a great meal, Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed and
the next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that kept
us up late once again.

President Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to "destroy"
ISIL. Whether that means destroying the radical
Islamist group as in wiping them off the face of
the earth in a mighty military massacre, or just
blocking their Netflix signal so they can't watch
"Breaking Bad" episodes during recess from
global jihad, we can't be sure. I mean, and I hate
to say it, the President could not have been much
less impressive in his speech if he had only vowed
to not let full-fledged ISIL militants accumulate
frequent-flyer points while on suicide missions.
Yeah, that woulda' taught 'em a lesson.
To be completely truthful -- or truthfully
complete, I suppose -- I will tell you that I did
not watch the President deliver his speech on
Sunday night because: 1. There was football on
instead, 2.) I forgot about it, and 3.) I knew his
statements would be as bland as chicken soup
without the chicken, celery, carrots, bullion
cubes, salt, pepper, noodles, and paprika flakes.
That's right, about as spicy as water. Yeah, you
darn right, I went there.
In his speech, the text of which I did read,
Obama said we will hunt down terrorists "in any
country where it is necessary," to which Vladimir
Putin said, "Oh, really?" To show he has support
for his policies, Obama said U.S. allies such as
France and Britain have "ramped up their contributions to our military campaign," which makes
it sound like they are now collecting gently used
winter coats for our "advisors" to wear in the
Syrian desert. Obama also said we are "working
with friends" to "disrupt" ISIL, which is about
the same verbiage I remember using in junior
high when me and some other hooligans tied
fishing line to the history teacher's chair leg and
his bookcase so the case fell on the floor when
he went to sit down. Yeah, we "disrupted" him
all right, and had all sorts of time to talk about it

Deer hunt, from page 9

incidents per 100,000 hunters. Wisconsins 10-year average is 1.36 incidents per 100,000 hunters.
As long as every hunter remembers and practices
the Four Firearm Safety rules, hunting can and will get
safer, said Jon King, DNR conservation warden and
hunter education administrator.
Hunters are reminded of additional opportunities to
hunt deer in Wisconsin after the close of the nine-day
season. This years muzzleloader season is currently
open through Dec. 9, and the late archery season is open
through Jan. 3, 2016. A four-day antlerless-only hunt will
take place Dec. 10-13 - any legal firearm, crossbow or

Hunters asked to participate in online Deer
Hunter Wildlife Survey
The Deer Hunter Wildlife Survey<http://dnr.wi.gov/
topic/wildlifehabitat/wlsurvey.html> will remain active
until all deer seasons have ended, and wildlife managers
ask that hunters submit a report of what they saw during their time in the field. This information will provide
valuable data used to improve population estimates for
Wisconsins deer herd and other species.
County Deer Advisory Councils
As a reminder, those interested in providing important
feedback regarding deer management are encouraged
to participate in County Deer Advisory Councils. These
councils use a number of resources, including deer
population data, harvest data, public input and other
information to provide recommendations regarding deer
management in their county.

Ball security is priority one, two and three, he said.

We have to secure the ball more. We have to understand
the value of every possession.
A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as they
try to match up with the conference favorites are a high
basketball IQ and leadership. Love said this group knows
the game, and can benefit from that.
Some of the boys think basketball. It makes sense to
them, Love said.
Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide the
leadership, both in scoring and as floor captains.
Our floor leaders were sophomores last year and
theyre more experienced this year, Love said. Were
in good shape. Were strides ahead of where we were
last year.
Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spencer
as the teams to beat in the ECC this year. Neillsville and
Loyal should be also be near the top of the pile when the
dust settles, with a key for the Greyhounds being able
to keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble.
Weve got to keep some of our kids on the floor,
Love said.

When our two scoring leaders get things going, we

expect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and Riley,
Love said. Luke has a great opportunity to expose those
adjustments. Hes got a real high basketball IQ. Hes calm.
He doesnt get rattled. His fundamental skills are really,
really strong.
Love does have some concerns about depth. With new
WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves instead
of four 8-minute quarters, plus more emphasis on handchecking, players could get in foul trouble.
Fouls are my biggest concern, the coach said. If our
top three or four get in foul trouble, we have guys who
can play, but not play the same way.
That situation should ease some as the season
progresses and the younger players gain experience.
Also, Love said, Weve had to change the way we play
defense because of the way theyre calling fouls. Loyal
will back away from its aggressive full-court pressure
and settle back more to conserve fouls.
Even though he has a group of players with good skills,
Love said he is still preaching the necessity of taking care
of the basketball when the team is on offense.

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look up
at the individual school sports banners on the wall, and
to have them notice that 1968 is the last number on the
boys basketball programs conference championship list.
I keep pointing it out and saying, That number cant
survive, Love said. Weve got to put another number
up there.
The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their quest
to become the first conference champs in the sport in
48 years. They beat Granton on Dec. 4 after losing to
preseason favorite Marshfield Columbus, and Love said
this years team is strides ahead of the 2014-15 version
that ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in the
Eastern Cloverbelt. Love has some starting experience
back in his lineup and several talented underclassmen
who will see significant playing time, and the team should
improve as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsity
game.
Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer, Logan
Genteman and Tyler Prust, who all were significant
contributors a year ago. Back in his starting lineup are
junior guard Riley Geiger and 64 swingman Cameron
Brussow, who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoring
punch both from the perimeter and the lane. Senior
Derrick Howard also returns to the front line to battle
for rebounds and points, and seniors Ben Zimmerman
and Marcus Genteman will share one starting spot,
depending on a given nights opponent. Sophomore Luke
Bogdonovich is the other starting guard.
Underclassmen who will play important minutes
include sophomores Waylon Froeba, Elliot Genteman and
Jordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow. Theyll also
play with the junior varsity team, but Love will need them
for varsity minutes for depth. Senior Josh Zupanc, out for
the sport for the first time, will get some minutes, as well.
In Geiger and Cameron Brussow, Loyal has a pair of
players who can easily post 20-point nights. Geiger, the
2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shooting
champion, is even more accurate from behind the arc
than last year, Love said.
The pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigers
perimeter game, Love said of the early season
developments. Hes as good as Ive seen him. Riley hasnt
missed a beat. I didnt think hed get better, but he has.
Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range, but
defenders had best be careful so he doesnt drive past
them. A tall player with ball-handling skills, Brussow
can score from anywhere.
He doesnt have to play post because he can handle
the ball, Love said. Cameron is a kid who can create his
own shot and thats a unique thing. He has pretty high
aspirations this year.
Bogdonovich, who was ineligible to play last year after
transferring to Loyal, will bring the Greyhounds a muchneeded third scoring option.

To repeat, Spencer needs young players to develop quickly

The 2014-15 Spencer
boys basketball team
that won the Easter n
Cloverbelt Conference
title with a 14-2 league
record was a mature one,
with several players who
had been varsity starters
for two or even three
years. The 2015-16 team
that will try to repeat as
conference champs is not
as experienced, and may
take some time to develop
before its ready to play its
best ball.
The start of Spencers
season has been delayed
by the football teams run
to the state title game.
The Rockets postponed
their first two scheduled
games and were to open
the season with a Dec.
8 non-conference game
against Edgar. Once the
schedule begins, coach

were important parts of a successful junior varsity
team a year ago, and will be called upon to step up the
next level.
Bezlyk should add some offense.
I think hes going to surprise a lot of people with
his scoring ability, Reckner said. Hes pretty athletic.
Miller is a post player with natural rebounding
instincts.
Hes got the knack of finding the ball, the coach
said.
Finding new sources of offense will be a key for the
Rockets, as Susa and Mercier both averaged in double
figures last year.
Weve got to replace a lot of scoring, Reckner said,
and Pilz is the most likely source.
Were going to have to depend on him a lot, Reckner
said, with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick up
their offensive contributions.
Adding to the challenge of repeating as conference
champs is the relative youth of this team. Reckner
has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude of
experience, but thats not the case this winter.
I had 2- and 3-year starters last year. This year were
a little more inexperienced, Reckner said. Theres a lot
of teaching going on with the younger guys.
Depth could be a problem for Spencer, especially early
in the season, while the sophomores are growing into
their new roles. With Zastrow probably not likely to play
until late in the season and Andreae out for probably a
month, Spencer will have to rely on young players to
learn quickly.
Our depth could be an issue, the coach said. We
probably would be 9-deep with those two. Now were
probably seven or eight just because of our inexperience.
Our conference is going to be really good. Hopefully, they
(younger players) can learn on the fly.
Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencers main
challenge to a repeat ECC title, with Neillsville and
Owen-Withee also looking strong, Reckner said. For
Spencer to be atop the standings again at seasons end,
a lot has to fall into place.
We need to be consistent. we need to gel as a team,
Reckner said. We need to grow up fast. In any year, to
be a conference champ, youve got to catch some breaks.
Rockets girls team off to solid start, more growth expected

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season, Spencer head
girls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significant
improvement over last year in the way his team is
performing. The Rockets are getting mentioned by other
coaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a team
to watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and a
good outside game into an improving program.
Abels teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 last
year, but this years group is off to a 2-1 start with ECC
wins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus. Those are
teams that swept the Rockets last season, so Abel has a
good sense that things are improving in his program.
The players are familiar now with Abels coaching style
and terminology, he said, and can focus more on playing
basketball.
This years starting squad is an interesting mix of
inside-outside skills. Senior Nadia King returns at the
point, while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her second
varsity year with perimeter shooting prowess. Junior
Courtney Buss mans another spot, while seniors Macie

Theres a lot less
teaching this year because
weve got a lot coming
back, Abel said. You can
see it with our fast start.

the ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorable very good at getting up and down the court. I feel this
matchup on the post. If the shooters are on, the system team is very versatile in what we can do.
Depth-wise, Abel says he has enough quality players
works well.
It keeps that inside-outside game working. Its a good to substitute as needed.
We have decent depth. Its not shallow by any means,
balance so far, Abel said.
Defensively, the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court he said. We can go eight or nine deep and be alright.
The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentals
2-3 zone, but will come out to play man-to-man at times.
The Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points and to compete with top teams.
try to get back in defensive positions.
Please see Rockets, page 5
We dont want teams to run on us, Abel said. Were
Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this year
If we didnt have them, the lightweights would be

hard to fill again, the coach said.
The addition of Columbus will push the Rocket
program into Division 2 for the state tournament series,
but Zschernitz doesnt see that as an issue. In fact, moving
out of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual small
school powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar.
Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbelt
dual meet champs, and should be a top contender at the
conference meet. Last year, the Rockets lost to StanleyBoyd by only a few points, partly because it had to forfeit
at two weights.
Not this year. And not only does Zschernitz have a full
team, but he has a group thats as confident as can be after
the Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way to
the state championship game. Many of the athletes are
on both teams.
Top to bottom, this is definitely the best team weve
had, Zschernitz said. Were fairly solid all the way
through. Were hoping with the success of the football
co-op, it carries over to wrestling. Wrestling and football
go hand-in-hand, in my opinion. I think the run in football
helped just to show them they can get to that level if they
want to work.
Rockets, from page 4

Weve got to box out defensively, he said. On offense,
theres an emphasis on limiting turnovers. We had
problems last year with passing under pressure.
One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvement.
The year is off to a good start, but he wants to maintain
the development as the season progresses.
Its definitely been an improvement from the year
before, he said of the teams early season. I think the
girls just have another year under the system. Its that
continual growth.
One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference
teams that Spencer split its two games with last year,
and at least split with those who beat Spencer twice.
Thats already happened with the wins over Colby and
Columbus.
Abel sees Loyal, Neillsville and Owen-Withee as
the usual conference favorites. Spencer may not be to
the level of those programs yet, he said, but continued
improvement will narrow the gap. If attitude means
anything, his team will be competitive.
They put the time in. They dont want to lose, Abel
said of his players.

The 2015-16 Spencer-Columbus wrestling team (front from left): Zach Wheeler-Savoy, Dominick Wichlacz, Jake
Hainzlsperger, Tim Bauer, Bryce Shaw, Nate Neumann, Austin Post, Carson Hildebrandt, Jake Dick, (back) Austin
Day, Elijah Welsh, Logan Zschernitz, Ryan Schauer, Jeremiah Giles, Hunter Luepke, Hunter Hildebrandt and Caden
Schillinger. Max Johnson is not pictured.

Two seasons ago, Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positions.
Last year, he had the lightweights, but then not the
heavyweights. Finally this season, with the resumption
of a co-op program with Marshfield Columbus,
Zschernitz has everybody he needs, and the Rockets look
to be strong.
With three wrestlers returning this season after
qualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the addition
of Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- the
Rockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaign.
They wont have to overcome the forfeit points they
allowed in the last two seasons, and that has Zschernitz
thinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conference
dual meet champions and also take the conference
tournament.
Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weights.
Returning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore Bryce
Shaw at 126 pounds, senior Tim Bauer at 138, and
sophomore Hunter Luepke at 195. Seniors Hunter
Hildebrandt (170), Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann
(160) also return to the varsity lineup.
Columbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach WheelerSavoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots, while
sophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120. Sophomore
Jeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145, and freshman Carson
Hildebrandt will be at 152. Senior Jake Hainzlsperger will
man the 182-pound class, senior Elijah Welsh and junior
Max Johnson will contend at 220, and freshman Logan
Zschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweight
challengers.
Shaw placed sixth at state last year, the highest finish
ever for a Spencer freshman. Bauer worked hard over
the summer to get even better than his state-qualifying
form of a year ago, and Luepke is back as a defending
conference champion and state qualifier. Hunter
Hildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conference
tournament champions.
That whole group is going to be a big part of our
success, Zschernitz said.
Newcomers expected to help include Carson
Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz, who both have
considerable youth wrestling experience. Welsh could
be an interesting wrestler to watch, and is someone
who the coach describes as a natural, but hasnt been
able to compete at the varsity level because Columbus
didnt have a program. Austin Post will bring his football
athleticism to the mat, as well, and Johnson -- who did not
go out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifier
as a freshman.
The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last gives
Zschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights.

Greenwood head boys basketball coach Eric

Johnsons entire starting five from last year put on
a graduation robe in May and headed off to new
adventures. Left behind in the Greenwood program are
a few experienced varsity players, a wealth of talented
underclassmen, and a question mark as to how fast this
years team can develop.
In Johnsons first year as head coach, his seniordominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the Eastern
Cloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark. Gone
from the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and Logan
Johnson, who both received all-conference mention, and
fellow starters Dane Toburen, Delten Schmitz and Dylan
North. To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his hands
this year may be just a bit of an understatement.
he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindner
and Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in
2014-15. Joining them as starters will be juniors Trevor
Serocki and Zach Zimbauer, and sophomore Devin
Toburen. Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be the
first guy off the bench, with senior Aaron Lindner,
junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman also
figuring into the rotation.
Were inexperienced at the varsity level, Johnson
said. The kids are going to have to catch up to the game
speed. Ive got basketball talent out there. Hopefully by
Christmas time, the kids will be caught up and we can
be competitive in every game.
Greenwood started the season with a non-conference
loss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby and
Neillsville. That result is to be expected, at least for a
while, as the players learn what it takes to compete at
the varsity pace.
They understand the offense and defense and
what I want out of them, Johnson said. The kids
all understand the offense really well. Its just getting
them up to game speed, and you cant simulate that in
practice.
Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard, and
Revier and Decker Lindner should give the Indians
rebounding, defense and inside scoring. Toburen is a
versatile player who should develop as he gets varsity
minutes.
He can score inside and outside, the coach said.
He can handle the ball and rebound. He gives me a
little of everything.
Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strong
perimeter game, as the young shooters are still trying
to find their range. It could be a streaky season as a
player or two gets hot, then cools down.
I dont have a pure shooter, Johnson said. I have
guys who can stroke it, but they can lose the stroke
just as fast.
Ball security is another area of concern. The Indians
have averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants in
the teams first games. Fouls have also been an issue,
but that is partly due to officials new emphasis on
hand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend of
quarters.
Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attack,
at least until someone emerges as a consistent source
of points.
Nobody is really going to stand out, he said. I have
not found that guy yet. I hope either Devin or Trevor
will develop into that guy.
Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best team
in the ECC this year, with defending champion Spencer,
Neillsville, Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be in
the top half.
Hopefully, we can fall in somewhere behind that,
he said.

Were getting to the spots faster. We understand the

The players are also aware of the need for better ball
handling. One reason for slowing the tempo down is to
avoid situations where opponents pressure the Indians
into turnovers.
Other teams are aggressive and we tend to panic,

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petris

first year at the helm of the program was not the most
pleasant one, with most of her starting and contributing
players suspended for half the season and the junior
varsity players called up to fill in. One positive from
that experience is that several young players got varsity
time -- albeit before they were ready -- and that should
translate to a more mature team this season.
Petris Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as they
try to put last years season in the rear-view mirror. The
team took a major blow before this season even started,
when star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in an
open gym workout. She was last years leading scorer
and would have been the centerpiece of Petris offense
this season.
Petris main group of players this year includes
seniors Ashley Walker, Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich,
junior Kassidy Lamovec, and sophomores Kelly Nielsen
and Kaylee Learman. Seniors Kaylee Meyer, Natalie
Hackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerable
minutes early in the season.
In addition to losing Opelt, Petri also has to replace
graduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas. That
leaves a huge scoring void to fill, which Petri will
attempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempo
style in which they wait patiently for good shots.
Were trying to focus on playing our offense and
playing to our tempo, she said. Were trying to slow
things down.
Several of the key players on this years team were
forced into varsity action a year ago, and that is paying
dividends now.
With those freshmen who played, it kind of got the
nerves out of the way a little bit, Petri said.
With everyone more comfortable in their roles, this
years team is playing better as a group. One of the
Indians strengths should be cohesion.
I think this year our chemistry, our working well
together is a strength, Petri said. Were coming closer
as a team.
Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians. The
team needs improvement from the perimeter, the coach
said, as it has little height to set up plays to the post.
The shooting is getting better, Petri said. Were
working on it.
The defense is also showing improvement, with
