Committeeendorsesfarm groupresolutions

The Marathon County Land, Conservation and Zoning Committee on Tuesday unani-mously endorsed three resolu-tions passed by the Marathon County Farm Bureau in Octo-ber dealing with agricultural waste, conservation and water

quality.The resolu-

tions say the following:� State and

local govern-ment should enforce appro-priate, uniform and consistent agricultural runoff regula-tions and levy increased fi nes

for farms that intentionally, willfully or neglectfully allow manure to enter waterways or wetlands.� Farmers should meet

minimum state conservation standards without cost shar-ing and join coalitions for en-hanced, farmer-led water qual-ity initiatives.� Municipalities and in-

dustry should apply wastes to cropland according to nutrient management plans.

Paul Daigle, land and water director for the county’s Con-servation, Planning and Zon-ing Department, said the three resolutions are consistent with the county’s land and wa-ter use plan. He hopes to have the county’s Environmental Resources Committee endorse the resolutions Dec. 10 and, in turn, the county board. He will present the resolution to the Northcentral Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Asso-

Students in our lo-cal public schools learn mathematics, reading, science and other stan-dard subjects.

Edgar High School fam-ily and consumer edu-cation teacher Kristine Federwicz thinks it is

important to teach one not-so-traditional subject, kindness.

She said Edgar and Stratford high school and middle school students will get a kindness prim-er this month. They are engaged in an interschool

competition to collect “gently used” shoes for a Kenyan orphanage. They are also encouraged to perform random acts of kindness.

Federwicz said the les-son in kindness started with a speaker, Brian

Williams, who on Nov. 18 encouraged Edgar and Stratford students to help young people at the Tumaini Orphanage in Mombassa, Kenya.

The Marathon County De-partment of Social Services has seen the number of people receiving FoodShare benefi ts drop by 3 percent following implementation of a new state rule that requires able bod-ied, childless recipients either work, volunteer, get substance treatment or enroll in a train-ing program.

Department spokesperson Jane Huebsch reported the county had 14,300 people re-ceiving FoodShare benefi ts in August. As of October, she said, that number has declined by 488 to 13,812 benefi ciaries.

Federal law has always re-quired FoodShare recipients to work, but has allowed states, such as Wisconsin, to waive that requirement. A state law has canceled the waiver.

New rules effective in April, said Huebsch, require adult, childless FoodShare recipients to work 30 hours per week or enroll in a training program

One Size Fits All!

According to the Pew Research Center, just about the same per-centage of American conservatives have received a major govern-ment entitlement during their lifetime as liberals. The percentage is 57 percent for conservatives, 53 percent for liberals. Yet, the two camps don’t agree at all whether government assistance to individu-als is a good way to spend taxpayer’s money. It’s 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 benefi ted 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 person’s 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 fi nd work or lose their FoodShare benefi ts.

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 num-ber 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?It’s hard to know. The private fi rm that manages the county’s Food-

Share 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 nutri-tion.

The numbers parallel state trends. The Department of Health and Human Services reports that, while nearly 15,000 able-bodied, child-less adult Food Share recipients were trimmed from the FoodShare program statewide since September, only about 4,500 people have re-ceived 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 able-bodied adults. One wonders, then, what these peo-ple denied FoodShare will do to eat. Sell drugs for money? Engage in prostitution? Raid a relative’s refrigerator? Rely on community food pantries? And one wonders, too, about the long-term consequence of not getting aid. Consider the case of a man or woman who, while poor, can’t work the required 20 hours a week to qualify for Food-Share because he or she is obligated to take sick parents to the hos-pital for cancer treatments. FoodShare may have been the one thing keeping that person’s 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. That’s the equivalent of working full-time (40 hours) at $7.97 per hour. The FoodShare benefi t is worth $195 a month.

The state’s new rules can hardly be considered harsh or particu-larly punitive. The regulations only require that able-bodied people without children work. Exemptions are offered for those with physi-cal 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 shutout from FoodShare and, unhappily, falls through the cracks of this life.

We fi nd 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 liber-al, you might be utterly wrong about FoodShare.

College loan relief tohelp rural Wisconsin

I serve as the ranking member of the Senate Economic Development Committee, which recently completed a series of listening sessions around the state. We heard from local busi-ness leaders, economic development professionals, educators and other civic leaders. Every place we went, we heard concern expressed about the status of the state’s educated and skilled workforce, but the situation in rural communi-ties appears especially chal-lenging.

Rural villages, towns and cities have to compete with every other community in Wisconsin, as well as those out of state, for a shrinking supply of skilled workers and the leaders we spoke with said that competing with the cultural and eco-nomic resources big cities offer can be a challenge. However, the quality of life in Wisconsin’s rural com-munities is also attractive, especially to many young university and technical college graduates. The scenic beauty of our lakes and forests, affordable housing, safe streets, good schools and a strong sense of community create the kind of environment that many would like to call home. Unfortunately, if these communities can’t attract the skilled workers they need to allow businesses to thrive and grow, their local econo-mies will decline, along with the qual-ity of life they can provide.

To address the workforce shortage in rural communities, I have teamed up with a bipartisan group of legisla-tors to introduce the Growing Rural Opportunities and Workforce in Wis-consin Program, or “GROW Wiscon-sin.” Sen. Luther Olsen (R-Ripon), Rep. Warren Petryk (R-Elva) and Rep. Nick Milroy (D-South Range) have joined me to author the bill, which would help address Wisconsin’s rural workforce shortage by offering stu-dent loan relief to college grads who move to rural communities.

GROW Wisconsin would provide

grants that are matched by counties that choose to designate themselves as GROW Communities. Individuals who have completed a higher educa-tion program and who move into a GROW Community will have pay-ments made on their student loans

equal to 20 percent of the individual’s outstanding student loan balance, up to a maximum of $15,000, in equal shares over a maxi-mum of fi ve years. Local companies would also be al-lowed to pay their county’s matching dollars in order to help facilitate the county becoming a GROW Commu-nity.

Our proposal is based on recommendations made by the Governor’s Council on Workforce Investment, which Rep. Petryk and I served on, as well as on Kan-sas’ successful Rural Oppor-tunity Zones program. This Kansas program has helped rural counties attract mil-lennials who are starting families and who want to take positions within their home communities or start

new businesses. Since the program began in 2011, the state has received over 2,000 applications, from mostly young professionals with children. As a result, new home construction and rising public school enrollment are happening in areas of Kansas that have not seen growth in decades. Be-cause our proposal presents a unique way to help solve Wisconsin’s worker shortage in rural areas, GROW Wis-consin has attracted strong support from legislators on both sides of the aisle, as well as from the Wisconsin Counties Association and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities.

As our state contends with a grow-ing shortage of educated and skilled workers, GROW Wisconsin would of-fer an attractive incentive to encour-age people with university and tech college degrees to come to rural com-munities, allowing businesses to grow and strengthening the economies of our small towns, villages and cities.

Everywhere I go I fi nd a pal

Peter Weinschenk, Editor, The Record-Review

An offi ce conversation about bacon grease and its many uses made me nos-talgically remember about my early days of soap making.

I acquired the hobby quite by accident really. A large quantity of excess bacon grease was rendered at a grand break-fast we hosted at a cabin our family

owned. We cooked a great deal of bacon for the affair and I fi gured there was too much fat left over to just toss out.

So, as merely a matter of conve-nience, I poured the remaining fat into jars and left it on the countertop to age. My old aunt and matriarch of the family saw the fat on the counter weeks later. Less than impressed, she asked what I was doing with it. Off

the cuff, I answered, “I’m going to make it into soap.”

Her response, as an ever-supportive distant relative was, “You can’t make bacon into soap! It’ll turn rancid and the lye will burn your fl esh off ! There’s a reason they sell soap in stores now!”

So, as is often the case when someone says something can’t or shouldn’t be done, I was motivated to try.

A book from the local library provided me with a simple recipe for common lard soap. I fi gured bacon fat and lard are the same thing, give or take a little extra salt. So, I went to work.

Basic soap making is actually quite simple. It’s just a matter of getting the right amount of lye dissolved in water mixed with fat at the right temperature. It’s then blended together until it starts to gel and poured into some sort of mold. I used disposable applesauce containers for molds during the fi rst go-round.

I added a touch of citronella essential oil to tame the aroma and it made a nice all-purpose outdoor utility soap. Noth-ing cleans hands soiled from gardening or landscaping like good old bacon soap.

I later branched out into the fi ner techniques of soap making, using more refi ned vegetable based oils, blends of essential oils and fancy molds. As I con-tinued to Martha Stewart my soapmak-ing, I never forgot about my humble beginnings. There’s still really nothing like saving up bacon grease for a batch of crude, utilitarian soap.

To keep character, the soap must be molded and cut up crudely too. I think the last time I made the stuff, I poured the saponifi ed mix of fat and lye into a cardboard oatmeal container. When it hardened, I cut the whole thing into slic-es like a giant roll of braunschweiger. That was years ago, but I’m still using chunks of the stuff to this day. A couple bars live outside by my cigar porch for summertime cleanup.

I must say, bacon soap leaves the skin soft and supple - much more so than any-thing store bought. That fat works its way into the pores and improves natural moisturization. If there are a few bacon bits that didn’t get strained out, they serve to scrub and exfoliate the skin as they articulate on your dirty mitties.

I remember snow.It’s that white stuff that covers every-

thing.I shovelled away a half-inch dusting off

my back steps this morning.I had to crawl upstairs in my barn to re-

trieve our snow shovels. They were tucked away next to the canoe paddles, the pink fl amingos, the spare offi ce chairs and other miscellania that tend to get lost in a barn.

Over the summer, the shovels appeared odd. What use are orange colored, fl at shov-els when the grass is green and the apple trees are in bloom? Now, however, when the ground is white and the sky is slate gray, the snow shovels look quite useful. They beg to be put to work. This is their season.

It took but a minute to clear my steps. I remembered the drill. The muscle memory kicked in quickly.

Yet I marveled in my task. The snow was enchanting. It is light, fl uffy, even feathery. It’s fun to throw around. I reveled in the fact that snow is made of snowfl akes, each one of them unique.

I looked at my backyard. That, I said, is a lot of uniqueness in a bunch of sameness.

Just like we humans.

q q q We enjoyed having our adult son, Guth-

rie, hang around a few days after Thanks-giving.

My wife, Susan, and I enjoy his company, his insights, his advice on matters big and small.

We also appreciate his appetite. It’s very useful.

Our family had a nice, big Thanksgiving dinner, but, even with fi ve people at the ta-ble, we barely made a dent in the food that was served.

We had bags of turkey leftovers. Same thing with potatoes and cranberry relish.

With Guthrie, however, it’s no problem. One day, I watched him eat six turkey tacos for lunch. Two hours later, he devoured an-other fi ve turkey tacos for dinner. He is not the fastest eater, but he gets the job done.

So, I have this business idea.Maybe next year at Thanksgiving your

family has a surplus of Thanksgiving food. Your prime wish is to just see the food dis-appear.

What can I say? You can make us an offer. We would be happy to rent Guthrie out to take care of your leftover turkey, stuffi ng, mashed potatoes, gravy and so forth. Be-lieve me, you won’t even notice him. He’ll be the guy sitting quietly in the corner playing video games on his phone and mak-ing your Thanksgiving feast disappear.

He comes fully insured and will bring all of the necessary equipment (a plate and a fork).

Just write your check out to Guthrie’s Holiday Food Removal Service. We’ll take it from there.

q q qThanksgiving provides some answers.

But it also raises a question.What’s better? Pumpkin pie or apple pie?I can’t say.Pumpkin pie has a dark, complex fl avor.

It has substance, earthiness, if you will. The seasoning is exotic. That allspice and cloves are magic.

Apple pie is pure simplicity. It is sugared and spiced fruit wrapped in crispy dough. It is light, chunky and wonderful.

So, which is better? Apple pie? Pumpkin pie?

There is only one answer. Both.

HOLD THATTHOUGHT

Williams’ speaking fee.Williams said Kenyan children at the

African orphanage need shoes. The shoes were needed, he told the student assemblies, not just to put something on the children’s feet. Shoes are re-quired in Kenya for children to attend public school.

Following Williams’ talk, a friendly competition between Stratford and Ed-gar schools was initiated. Both schools have until Dec. 14 to gather as many shoes as possible.

Federwicz said the Edgar and Strat-ford communities are being asked to donate shoes to the cause. All shoes are welcome, she said. Some may not be proper footwear for a Kenyan child, she said, but all can be used to help children attend school.

Federwicz said students are encour-aged to perform random acts of kind-ness. She said kindness is popping up all over her school.

“It’s awesome,” she said. “People are holding the door open for the UPS driver. They are giving out hugs. One day, students, on their own, put paper hearts on all of the high school and middle school lockers with little writ-ten encouragements on them.”

Brad Grube is advisor of the shoe collection organized by the Stratford High School freshman and sophomore classes. He estimated that 420 pairs of shoes had been collected before Thanksgiving, toward the goal of re-ceiving 2,000 pairs of donated shoes. He has no doubt that Stratford will reach its goal.

“In my 10 years working in Stratford, I am just so happy with the amount of people in the Stratford area who have given to worthy causes,” he said.

Jeremy Schoenherr is one of four Stratford High School sophomore class offi cers involved in the shoe donation project. He said the Williams’ think kindness presentation was the best he has ever seen, and he is excited about the friendly battle between traditional archrivals Stratford and Edgar to see who can col-lect the most shoes.

“It’s a unique thing for the two schools to do out-side of sports, and Afri-can children are going to benefi t from this,” he said. “Whichever school collects the most shoes will receive bragging rights, so I think both schools will combine to collect a lot of shoes due to our rivalry. It feels good to help the children in Af-rica that don’t have it as good as we do.”

Federwicz thinks that having skills in kindness is important.

She said she recalled when her fa-ther, Lawrence Spring, Stratford, died

ciation on Feb. 19, 2016. The objective is to get the state leg-

islature to reform its current agricul-tural nonpoint runoff policies, he said.

Daigle said the “minimum state con-servation standards” are spelled out in the state’s regulations concerning ag-ricultural performance standards. The major standards include fi ling a nu-trient management plan, minimizing erosion (between three and fi ve tons of

soil per acre per year), not discharging manure to waterways from a barnyard and having a well-functioning manure pit.

Daigle said a state requirement to provide 70 percent cost sharing for any required conservation effort becomes a “huge impediment” to dealing with agricultural pollution.

“Just to have every farmer in Mara-thon County do nutrient management

would cost $5 million,” he said.Nutrient management plans docu-

ment how a crop, for example corn or soybeans, will uptake fertilizers, in-cluding manure, applied to the soil.

Town of Marathon dairy member Randel Wokatsch said he will argue at this weekend’s Farm Bureau conven-tion in Wisconsin Dells that the Mara-thon County resolutions should be that organization’s state policy.

A state policy committee meeting in November voted against recommend-ing the Marathon County resolutions go to a convention vote.

Wokatsch said it may take time be-fore other Farm Bureau member coun-ties endorse the Marathon County res-olutions.

“Hopefully, the whole thing will pick up steam,” he said.

after a battle with cancer fi ve years ago. There was an outpouring of kind-ness from total strangers.

“I have seen fi rsthand the beauty of kindness,” Federwicz said. “That’s what I try to teach my students. It’s

about giving to the communi-ty, not just taking. You never know when you’ll be on the other side and you will need a hand.”

Edgar High School agricul-ture teacher Matt Reinders said FFA students are part-nering with Edgar FCCLA students to collect as many shoes as possible.

He said Edgar FFA mem-bers will place donation bags on front doors around Edgar. They will retrieve bags fi lled with donated shoes Tuesday, Dec. 8.

Edgar area residents can also donate shoes in boxes located at Edgar Public Schools, he added. The boxes are located at the high school, el-ementary school and fi tness center.

Reinders said Edgar students jumped into the project.

JeremySchoenherr

“They are excited that they can make a difference,” he said. “This time of year can be one where students are thinking about themselves, about what they will get for Christmas. This proj-ect has them thinking of someone oth-er than themselves.”

Tianna Borchardt, president of the Edgar FCCLA, said the shoe collection project is “so cool.”

She said, “Here, in the United States, shoes are such a simple thing. In Kenya, shoes are needed for school. I think it is really cool we can make a difference.”

Caleb Michalewicz, sentinel for the Edgar FFA, said Kenyan children able to attend school may be able to avoid becoming beggars on the street.

“I think this project could give them a chance at a better life,” he said. “That’s pretty cool.”

Grube said some Stratford High School seniors have expressed inter-est in traveling to Africa with Williams to witness the shoes being delivered to the children.

“Our seniors are interested in seeing this process go full circle,” he said.

INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER-Brian Wil-liams of California last month told Strat-ford and Edgar students about the need Kenya’s orphans have for shoes. He sug-gested a shoe drive to show their kind-ness.

unless they meet a number of exemp-tions. The exemptions include being enrolled in a drug or alcohol program, being either mentally or physically in-capacitated, being a student enrolled half-time in classes or receiving Social Security.

People who do not meet the new work requirement are barred from applying for FoodShare benefi ts for 36 months.

Huebsch said FoodShare benefi ts are worth $198 a month for a childless adult.

It isn’t clear whether people in Mara-thon County who have lost their Food-Share benefi ts have become employed.

Tom Prete, spokesperson for CW So-lutions, said his company has found jobs for 110 people in Marathon County enrolled in the FoodShare Employ-ment and Training (FSET) program.

According to the Wisconsin Depart-ment of Health and Human Services, Wisconsin had 17,917 new enrollees in FoodShare from January to September of this year. FSET has found jobs for 4,513 people between April and Sep-tember.

Huebsch said Wisconsin used to have somewhat liberal FoodShare rules compared to other states. Under cur-rent regulations, the program rules are now “middle of the road.”

The Marathon Fire Department used sledgehammers to knock stone off a chimney and save a log home in the town of Marathon on Thursday.

Marathon fi re chief Mike Tylinski said a wood fi re burned through a fi re-box in the stone chimney at the Sandra Lang residence, 2703 Four Mile Rd., and started logs smoldering.

Firemen had to knock the stone off the home’s chimney from top to bottom in order to stop the fi re from advancing and prevent a blaze, said Tylinski.

“This was not your typical chimney fi re,” he said. “It was a chimney fi re but the fi re was not in the chimney.”

Marathon fi refi ghters responded to the scene at 5 a.m. Edgar Fire Depart-ment was called for mutual aid. The fi remen used 3,500 gallons on the fi re. The home suffered both smoke and wa-ter damage.

Tylinski praised the fi refi ghters for their efforts. “I think our guys did an excellent job,” he said.

A 50-year-old town of Brighton man died Sunday from a rifl e wound to the chest while hunting in woods located along Century Rd. in the township, ac-cording to the Marathon County Sher-iff’s Department.

An investigation by the department, the Spencer Police Department and Wisconsin DNR continues. The Mara-thon County Medical Examiner’s Of-fi ce will conduct an autopsy. No foul play is suspected at this time.

The county reports it received a 911 call of a hunter with a gunshot wound on Sunday at 9:14 p.m.

Schug Honor StoneTony Schug of Abrams

and his family gathered for his honor stone placement ceremony Oct. 3 at The High-ground Veterans Memorial Park near Neillsville.

There were 23 service mem-bers honored during the cere-mony, including Schug. Schug is the son of the late John and Marie Schug, and he grew up on the family farm just east of Athens.

Schug was a paratrooper in the 101 Airborn Division of the 187th Regiment Combat Team from 1955-1958.

He was joined at the stone placement ceremony by his sisters, Gertie Guralski and her husband, Wally, and Judy Halik. His brothers who at-tended were Davie Schug and Sally and Norbie Schug. His brother-in-law, Gerry Heil, and many of his nieces, neph-ews and close friends joined him during his special day.

The day began with a fami-ly picnic lunch in the pavilion on the grounds. Afterward, the Schug family joined the other service members being honored. The ceremony be-gan with a presentation of the fl ags by the local Boy Scouts, and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by the children in the crowd.

After each service mem-ber’s name was called, they and their families went up and placed their stone on the

path. Schug’s stone was the last stone placed, and next year his brother’s stone will be placed next to his.

TMJ SYNDROMEQ. What is TMJ syndrome?A. TMJ is the acronym commonly used for the more unwieldy name ‘tem-

peromandibular joint,’ which is the hinge at which the lower jaw, called the mandible, connects with the upper jaw on either side of your face. You can feel the joint’s movement just in front of your ears. TMJ syndrome is acute or chronic infl ammation of this joint. It can cause signifi cant pain and impair the operation of the joint. In some cases, the joint can lock in either the open or closed position.

The TMJ, like any other of your joints, is susceptible to damage from condi-tions like stiffness and arthritis, and dislocation, whether from a trauma like a blow to the face, or from regular use. In addition to facial pain, TMJ syndrome can also cause severe headaches, dizziness and pain or stiffness in the neck and shoulders. Treatment might include stress-reduction exercises or medica-tion.

Whenever you are experiencing facial pain, you should see your dentist. While TMJ syndrome is a common cause of facial pain, there are other causes as well. A sinus infection, gum disease or a toothache can also cause facial pain. Unfortunately, it’s estimated some 15 percent of American adults experi-ence facial pain. Your dentist, sometimes with the use of x-rays, can identify the source of the pain and recommend treatment.

Santa will be there following the parade

SportsBLUEJAYS WILDCATS RED RAIDERS TIGERS

Page 10 December 2, 2015 The Record-Review

Stratford’s varsity boys basketball team played so good in the fi rst period of Monday’s home game against Ste-vens Point Pacelli, that it appeared the Tigers would run away with an easy win.

The Tigers took a seven-point lead into halftime, but the wheels fell off in the second period when the Cardi-nal shooters began heating up from behind the arc to go home with a 54-45 win.

Pacelli senior guard Jake Elliott knocked down a three-pointer to give the Cardinals a 30-29 lead in the sec-ond period. The Cardinals went up, 34-19, with 13 minutes left in the game after Elliott hit his free throws after he was fouled while shooting a three pointer.

Cardinals senior Chris Shibilski converted an original three-point play when he made the basket while being fouled. He then made the free throw to give Pacelli a 10-point lead with eight minutes remaining in regulation.

Stratford sophomore Brenden Feck-er drained a three-pointer, as Pacelli held onto a 51-40 advantage with about four-and-a-half minutes left in the sec-ond period.

Tigers senior forward Derrick Schmidt’s rebound and putback cut into the Cardinals’ lead at 51-42 with two-and-a-half minutes remaining. Schmidt achieved a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Things began getting even more in-teresting when Stratford junior for-

ward Jacob Danen grabbed a tough re-bound and was fouled on the putback. He calmly sank the free throw to help the Tigers cut into the Cardinals’ 51-45 lead with just over two minutes left in the game.

A Pacelli player then turned the ball over when he dribbled it out of bounds along the baseline, giving Stratford another opportunity to cut into the Cardinals’ lead.

But the Tigers couldn’t take advan-tage of the miscue and ended up turn-ing the ball over themselves when se-nior forward Ethan Nagel was called for a charge while he attempted to knife through the Cardinals’ defense.

Stratford’s late second-period rally fell a bit too short, as the Tigers were forced into fouling Pacelli players with hopes they would miss their free throws. The Cardinals made enough free throws from the charity stripe, and the Tigers couldn’t get the basket-ball in the hoop as Pacelli went on for the nine-point victory.

Fecker was second on Stratford’s team with 15 points, as the Tigers now will look to regroup before their next game at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Owen-Withee. Stratford heads into Satur-day’s game with a 1-1 record, after the Tigers beat Colby, 51-35, in their home opener Nov. 24.

Edgar enters win columnThe Wildcats bounced back from

their season-opening defeat to Al-mond-Bancroft to easily upend North-land Lutheran, 47-16, Tuesday night in Wausau. No statistics were provided.

Stratford’s lead slips away Pacelli’s treys doom Tigers in second period

Marathon girls tussel with D-1 teamsThe Marathon var-

sity girls basketball team will be battle tested come playoff time at the end of February, as the Red

Raiders opened the season by playing Division 1 teams Marshfi eld and D.C. Everest last weekend during the Tom Kislow Memorial Tournament in An-tigo.

The Red Raiders fought back to al-most beat Marshfi eld last Friday, but fell just short in a 56-53 loss.

Marathon senior guard Jayci Blume led the team with 16 points against the Tigers, while senior guard Natasha Hanke added 10. Senior guard Morgan Rachu paced the Red Raiders with 10 rebounds.

Marathon rebounded to beat D.C. Everest, 55-35, last Saturday. The Red

Raiders and Evergreens both played at state in different divisions last sea-son.

Rachu achieved a double-double against Everest with 12 points and 13 rebounds. She also led Marathon with four steals, and she and senior guard Julia Anderson each had three assists to lead the team.

Senior forward Olivia Meurette and Hanke chipped in 10 points apiece.

Marathon coach Jeff Schneider said the experience of playing against big-ger schools should prove invaluable once the playoffs arrive.

“Playing Marshfi eld and D.C. Ever-est makes us get better, and we feel fortunate to start the season play-ing two bigger schools with excellent programs,” he said. “Both teams had good size and many good players that can score. We know these are the lev-

el of teams we want to compete with during tournament time at the end of the season.”

The Red Raiders won their fi rst Marawood South contest, 59-44, at Wis-consin Rapids Assumption Tuesday.

Hanke led Marathon with 16 points. Rachu contributed 10 points, eight rebounds, six steals and three as-sists. Blume and Alysha Stieber also chipped in 10 points apiece.

Marathon plays at 7:15 p.m. Thurs-day at home against Amherst.

Edgar edges SpencerSenior Tianna Borchardt poured in

a game-high 20 points to lead Edgar to a 50-45 home win against Spencer Tuesday.

The Wildcats held a slim 22-20 half-time advantage. Macey Wirkus led Ed-

gar with fi ve steals and 14 rebounds as the Wildcats improved to 2-1.

Stratford stays unbeatenThe Tigers beat Colby, 55-47, at home

Tuesday to stay undefeated at 3-0 this season.

Stratford senior Savannah Schil-linger scored a game-high 16 points. Sammy Griesbach added 12 points and Kaylee Hollatz chipped in 10. The Tigers held a narrow 25-23 lead at half-time.

Athens is outplayedThe Bluejays ran into a buzzsaw in

traditional powerhouse Wausau New-man Catholic, losing 78-46, Tuesday night.

Kenadi Diedrich paced the Bluejays, who fell to 1-1, with 19 points.

BATTLE FOR THE REBOUND-Stratford senior forward Ethan Nagel fi ghts to grab hold of a rebound during the second period of the Tigers’ 54-45 defeat to Stevens Point Pacelli Monday.

THE SPORTING SCENE

SADDLING UP FOR TEXAS FOOTBALL

TEXAS BOUND-Stratford High School junior offensive lineman Tanner Weinfurtner will showcase his football prowess during February’s International Bowl in Texas.

Weinfurtner will play at AT & T Stadium, home of the Cowboys

Tanner Weinfurtner couldn’t help but crack a smile while watching the Dallas Cowboys play Thanksgiving Day, fully knowing that soon he’ll be play-ing at the massive AT & T Sta-dium, where the Cowboys play their home games.

Weinfurtner, a 6 foot, 4 inch, 295-pound junior offensive line-man at Stratford High School, has been selected to play on the 2016 United States Under-18 Na-tional Team, assembled by USA Football, against Canadian na-tional teams in the seventh an-nual International Bowl Feb. 3 in Arlington, Texas.

“Every time I would look at the television screen during the Cowboys game, it would seem crazy to me that I will actually be playing on their fi eld,” Wein-furtner said. “It’s such a great opportunity for me, and my dad Kurt is a Cowboys fan, so it will be cool to have him and my mom Lisa supporting me down there.”

Weinfurtner, 17, began start-ing on the Stratford High School varsity football team’s offensive line near the end of his fresh-man season, and he earned second-team all-Marawood Con-ference honors as a starter dur-ing his sophomore season. He wasn’t eligible to receive any conference recognition this past season due to a sprained MCL in his left knee occurring during week fi ve of the regular season. He has been working hard with his physical therapists to get his knee ready for the International Bowl.

“I have had tremendous sup-port from my family and friends for me to get my knee 100 percent before the February game,” he said. “I do believe that I will be ready to go.”

Jason Tubbs, Stratford High School varsity football coach, fi rst introduced USA Football to Weinfurtner by giving him a registration form to send in for playing in the USA developmen-tal football camp held in early May in Milwaukee.

Weinfurtner performed so well during the two-day non-contact camp that he received an invitation to play in a USA developmental game in one of four places in the country: Los Angeles, California, Canton, Ohio, College Station, Texas or Baltimore, Md. He chose to play

in the developmental game in Canton because that’s where the Pro Football Hall of Fame is located.

He was one of 122 high school foot-ball players from around the country who participated in the eight days of football practice and games during the week leading up to the Fourth of July. Weinfurtner was one of three players there from Wisconsin. He recalls play-ing with a football player from Massa-chusetts and one from as far away as Mississippi.

“It was a very team-inductive at-

mosphere,” Weinfurtner said. “The coaches picked four teams from among the players there to play against each other, and nobody cared what team they were on because we were all so fa-miliar with each other, like we’d been playing together for several years. The one thing that we all had in common was a love for football.”

Weinfurtner may look big on the high school football fi eld, but he was only average sized compared to the other offensive and defensive linemen he practiced with and played against

in Canton. College coaches are in charge of the USA football practic-es and games, and they didn’t have an issue with Weinfurtner’s size.

“My coaches in Canton told me that weight is not the main statis-tic they look at for offensive line-men, because they are more con-cerned with a player’s footwork, techniques and strength,” he said. “They said a big kid is not as de-sirable as a kid that is strong. It’s important to play low as an offen-sive lineman because the low man always wins, and fl exibility in your hips is also important, which comes from doing squats in the weight room.”

Weinfurtner credits his Strat-ford coaches from third grade up into high school, including Tubbs and his high school offensive line coach, Kellen Kafka.

“The one thing that coaches in Stratford do is teach their play-ers the football techniques and make sure they are mastered,” he said. “Even the new things that I have learned at these USA foot-ball camps are similar to what my coaches in Stratford have already taught me.”

He played so well in Canton that he was one of 30 to 40 players out of the 122 participating to be selected to represent the USA in the Inter-national Bowl.

Tubbs is elated for Weinfurtner. “It’s a great honor, and Tanner has worked very hard to get this oppor-tunity,” he said. “He is a great kid that loves the game of football and he will represent his country, state and hometown with an enormous amount of pride.”

Weinfurtner is excited to have the opportunity to learn more from Steven Ciocci, who will be his of-fensive line coach during the prac-tices and game in Texas. Ciocci coaches at Division II Pace Univer-sity in New York City.

Weinfurtner may play offensive guard for his high school team, but he won’t play any certain position along the offensive line during the International Bowl.

“I feel like I am versatile enough to play any position they want me to play down there because I can also play at center and tackle,” he said.

Besides honing in on his block-ing techniques and footwork, Wein-furtner also learned leadership skills and how to be a good team player while he was in Canton.

SPORTS

View from the cheap seatsA weekly perspective on sports

Casey KrautkramerReporterThe Record-Review

Most people wouldn’t think a locker would be too special, but I was elated to see a picture of Aaron Wickman’s nameplate on his college track and fi eld locker with the signa-ture University of Wisconsin “W” engraved.

Many area people will forever re-member Wickman, a 2015 graduate of Athens High School, breaking the Division 3 200-meter dash record in 21.73 seconds during last spring’s state track and fi eld championships.

He is now a freshman sprinter for the Badgers, and he’s been practic-ing since his classes began in prepa-ration for the fi rst indoor meet of the season Jan. 16 against the University of Notre Dame.

Last week I wrote a sports feature article on 2011 Edgar High School graduate Aaron Karlen concluding his stellar UW-Stevens Point football career, and that now he wants to at-tempt to realize his dream of playing in the National Football League.

It turns out there were several local players on Karlen’s Pointers football team this season, including brothers Blake and Reed Lehman who are also from Edgar. Reed was a six foot, three inch, 223-pound se-nior tight end. Blake was a fi ve foot, 10 inch, 180-pound sophomore defen-sive back.

Two Marathon graduates, Jake Dinkel and Damien Lang, were also on the Pointers football team. Dinkel was a six foot, two inch, 195-pound sophomore wide receiver, and Lang was a six foot, one inch, 248-pound sophomore tight end.

Athens 2015 graduate Lane Tess-mer joined them this season as a fi ve

foot, 11 inch, 205-pound freshman running back.

There may be a strong pipeline of local football players continuing their football careers at UW-Stevens Point, but there are several other area graduates playing college foot-ball for Division III Wisconsin and Division II Minnesota colleges.

Athens graduate Jayden Dobbs was a senior on the UW-Eau Claire football team this season. He was a six foot, one inch, 227-pound defen-sive end. Stratford graduate Tra-vis Urlaub was a fi ve foot, 11 inch 200-pound junior running back for UW-Stout.

A few local graduates ventured to Minnesota to play Division II foot-ball. Recent Athens graduate Na-than Belisle was a six foot, fi ve inch, 284-pound freshman offensive line-man at Minnesota State-Moorhead.

Two Edgar graduates were mem-bers of the Minnesota State-Manka-to football team this season. Jeffrey Raymond was a six foot, one inch, 290-pound senior defensive tackle on the team, while William Hannemann was a six foot, 220-pound sophomore linebacker.

The winter sports season has just begun, and I see that 2015 Athens graduate Kyncaide Diedrich is play-ing well in basketball as a fi ve foot, fi ve inch freshman guard for UW-Stout.

I’m sure I missed a couple of grad-uates from Athens, Edgar, Marathon and Stratford who are playing col-lege athletics, but I thought it was important to highlight the great things our graduates are doing after high school.

MAREA featured speakerRick Lohr, pictured with his wife Joyce, was the featured speaker after the Marshfi eld Area Retired Educa-tor’s Association’s November meeting was adjourned. Rick spoke about “Polio, My Journey.” In 2004, Rick and Joyce traveled to India in an effort to irradicate polio, via vaccine, which was accomplished in 2014. Rick explained that immunization is for life as there are no mutations and no carriers from animals. From 1943-1956 there were 400,000 cases of polio in the U.S. with 2-3 week duration and consequences of the disease are for life. He spoke of the March of Dimes organization which paid approximately 80 percent of the bills for familles with a child with polio. During those years Wisconsin had 2,228 polio cases and 130 deaths. 1952 was the year of the epidemic with 58,000 polio cases occuring. Rick’s sister Jackie contracted polio when she was 11 years old and received some relief from the iron lung machine. Jackie went on to receive bachelor’s and master’s degrees and live a full life that inspired all who know her. Rick spoke of the 1954 vaccine discovered by Dr. Jonas Salk, followed by the Sabin oral polio vaccine, a safer and more effective vaccine.

Three Hunts in ParadiseHello friends, Twenty-seven falls ago, I started writing this column. Fifteen years ago, I started hobby

farming and became a very active father. Outdoor columnists and hobby farmers have one thing in common and that is a busy season that runs from the start of planting season until the day that Wisconsin’s deer gun season ends. I am on the tail end of a whale of a busy season that beat the pulp out of me physically, fi nancially and sometimes even mentally.

This week I am writing to you about my experiences in the great outdoors and the week before The Red Brush Gang makes it to deer camp.

Monday, November 16 High 44, low 27 My 14-year-old daughter, Selina Walters,

has her very own food plot. We both hunt it during the turkey season and it is all Selina’s for bow season, until today. We put a lot of time, sweat and creativity into our alfalfa, corn, turnips and radishes.

The local deer population loves eating them, but as our trail cameras and Selina’s hunts have been revealing this fall, most of the deer are in the plot after dark. The beauty of Selina’s food plot is that she can hunt after school and the few weekends that she is home.

A typical bow hunt for Selina consists of her becoming very comfortable in her ladder stand and reading while watching the world around her.

Today, I hunted the food plot for the fi rst time this fall. As soon as I was in the stand, a steady rain began that would last for the next 36 hours. I did not see a deer until I was climbing down from the stand and I was thoroughly busted when that happened.

Tuesday, November 17High 42, low 35A little 36-hour trip to deer camp for a duck

hunt, a bow hunt and to prepare a very large meal was next on my agenda.

The duck hunt was a 100-percent mind over matter issue. It was pouring out, extremely windy and I was going to have to paddle my canoe a good mile to “duck paradise.” Back in the ‘80s and ‘90s I had some pretty good duck hunts on what is a fl owage for a cranberry marsh. It has been probably fi ve years since I paddled a canoe on it and the last few hunts did not require many shotgun shells.

Back in the day when I called hunting camp home for 100 days each fall, I used to ice skate and cross country ski on this fl owage while fi shing with tip-ups.

Today my paddle was into the wind, Selina’s golden retriever “Fire” did not seem too interested in the adventure. After a half hour of pulling a heavy load with my arms, I jumped out of the canoe and started setting decoys.

I had borrowed the pair of chest waders that I chose to wear today to a young beaver trapper. I had no idea that they were toast and felt cold reality as they fi lled with water.

I did not see a single duck; I did see ample amounts of muskrat signs, I paddled back to my truck and then was off to camp where I peeled an entire six-gallon bucket of potatoes and created a big time meal for the fi rst night of deer camp.

Wednesday, November 18High 46, low 37 Everyone has their own version of deer camp and mine is an 18x36 foot portable pole barn

put on public land each November and taken down the last day of deer gun season. I love it here and actually say that to myself when I am at camp alone. Today I cooked, drank

coffee and then headed out to the woods for a 3/4 mile hike with a bow and arrow and a tree stand. Here in Wisconsin’s central forest, if you strap on hip boots and hike in a ways, you have bow hunting all to yourself.

As usual, I was running late on the sun clock, which was actually blocked out by clouds. My stand is hung where I have seen some beautiful bucks this year. After hanging my stand, I climbed down to get my bow and something is missing and that is all fi ve of my arrows.

I had traveled through some dense brush and began backtracking. Naturally, my arrows were at the very beginning of my hike.

As you can see, hunting is certainly not always about dropping ducks and harvesting bucks. I love this place! Sunset

A 29-year-old male died Tuesday around 8:30 p.m. when the car he was driving slid on an iced-over stretch of STH 29 near the STH 97 intersection and struck a disabled semi tractor trailer parked on the shoulder of the westbound lane.

The Marathon County Sheriff’s De-partment said the Athens Fire Depart-ment ambulance was dispatched to the

scene. The sheriff’s department, how-ever, did not identify the deceased.

The car driver was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfi eld, where he died.

This crash is being investigated by the Marathon County Sheriff’s Depart-ment crash reconstruction team and the Wisconsin State Patrol.

Victoria Lemmer

Paid obituary 48-176430

the pontoon legally fi ts 17 people, we’re sure we have doubled that ca-pacity because it was important to her that we were all together. She loved inviting relatives and friends to the lake and spending the week-ends giving tours and waiting for the next person to trip over the one wonky stair that would get us each and every time.

Vicki and Charlie were so proud of their 25 (and counting) grand-children and were running constantly to their events. She was the best cheerleader you could ever wish for, making long road trips for region-al and state events. She was so proud of their accomplishments, her passing will defi nitely leave an empty spot in the bleachers.

Vicki was a devoted wife and best friend to her husband. The love they shared is a love that you could feel when you walked into the room. Vicki was one of the most kind and loving people that you have ever met. She will be missed by so many who knew and loved her. While

we are heartbroken we will no longer be able to see her smile, we know that God must have been in need for a really special angel if he took her so soon from us. Rest, Mom, in the arms of Jesus.

Vicki is survived by her devoted and loving husband, Charlie; children, Shel-ley (James) Gering, Wausau, Kelly (Kyle) Lukasko, Edgar, Kari (Mike) Butt, Ed-gar, Kristine (Kurt) Hafferman, Edgar, Melissa (Mike) Bornheimer, Edgar, Tracy (Mike) Graveen, Edgar, and Mandy (Greg) Streit, Edgar; siblings, Bonnie (Stan) Totos, Calument City, Ill., and Gladys (Bill) Rennie, Owen; grandchildren, Ben and Morgan Gering, Jeremy (Amber) Lukasko, Andrew (Tiffany) Lukasko, Cassie (Dakota) Heidmann, Makenzie, Kamryn, Karson, Mattison, Karter, Maverick and Maclain Butt, Alec and Kaleb Hafferman, Cierra, Dylan, Dawson, Drae and Dea-con Bornheimer, Jaxon and Harrison Graveen, Teegan, Tucker, Charlie, Gabri-ella and Baby Streit; and great-grandchildren, Landon Lukasko and Eli Lukasko.

Besides her parents, she was proceeded in death by her siblings, Kenny Krop-idlowski, Irene Bonin and Rita Matysik; as well as many other cherished family members that have also been taken from us much too soon.

The funeral Mass was celebrated at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015, at St. John Catholic Church, Edgar. Rev. Robert Streveler and Rev. Thomas Huff pre-sided. Burial was in the parish cemetery. Friends and family called on Wednesday from 4-8 p.m. at St. John Catholic Church, Edgar. Visitation continued on Thurs-day from 9 a.m. until the time of service at the church. There was a parish prayer service at 7 p.m. Wednesday evening.

Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, Edgar, assisted the family with arrange-ments. Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com.

Victoria L. (Kropidlowski) Lemmer, 69, of Edgar entered eternal life on November 16, 2015, peacefully at her home. Her spirit is carried on by her husband of 49 years, seven daughters, 25 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, two sisters, and an extended family of relatives and friends.

Vicki was born Oct. 30, 1946, in Menasha to the late Benjamin and Alvina (Lee) Kropidlowski. She graduated from Edgar High School in 1964 and married Charles Lemmer at Holy Family Catholic Church in Poniatowski on Oct. 29, 1966.

Following high school, she was employed at Strong’s Grocery and the Badger Basket Factory. Once they started building their family, she turned homemaker, a “really” outstanding homemaker. She was so proud of the seven daughters they raised together. Sometimes known as Charlie’s Angels, although in early years, she may have disagreed.

While raising her own family, she provided loving care to local families and friends. Once her daughters were in school, she began working for the United States Postal Service in 1989 and was still your happy local rural mail carrier at the time of her death. Whenever you saw Vicki, she had a loving smile and made you feel welcome. Teaching them to cook, bake and solve Sunday crossword puzzles are some of the memories that her daughters will cherish forever.

Vicki started each week with the same two staples, Sunday Mass and the Sun-day crossword puzzle. She was the anchor that kept her large family together and taught us that no matter what life throws at you, with family you can get through anything. And you smile. Always smile. Her unwavering faith in God was evident and taught her children the importance of having faith from little on. She taught us all that you forgive, no matter the circumstances.

Vicki had an endless amount of love and support, regardless of the time, place or situation. With a family as large as hers, her phone was ringing constantly from family looking for advice, a caring heart to listen, one of her recipes or to ask for the 30th time, “How long do I boil eggs?” and always sternly reminded to “stop stirring the baked beans!” While most families would have resorted to a lo-cal town hall for Thanksgiving, she wanted it at our home. So we made it work, all 40-plus of us, plus add-ons from other extended families.

Vicki enjoyed spending time on the Willow and Lake Nokomis, solving world problems and singing around the campfi re until wee hours in the morning. One of her favorite songs being “Love Can Build A Bridge.” If you wanted to race her to get her Friday fi sh fry every week, you would lose every time.

She reserved Sunday afternoons for pontoon rides around the northwoods and there would always be time to pull up on the water at the ice cream shop. While
