“I need to sell something,” Austin Frohmade said Tuesday morning as he looked over his wrecked monthly ex-pense plan. “I went over budget by a lot.”

An electrician with three kids -- actu-ally a Pittsville eighth-grader attending the “Reality Store” exercise at Spencer High School -- Frohmade realized his $5,692 monthly salary was not going to support the lifestyle he wanted. That brand new SUV, well, it was going to have to go.

“I bought a brand new truck. I’ve gotta’ go back and get a (different) one,” he said.

Trading down to a 2011 Ford Taurus solved Austin’s budget mess, even though his friend, Jacob Grimm, still teasingly called him “Mr. I Have to Have Every-thing New.” Buying too much on too little income was one of the most common mistakes made by students at Tuesday’s 11th annual Reality Store put on by the Marshfi eld Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Almost 200 kids attended Tuesday’s event, from Spencer, Pittsville, Auburndale, St. Joseph’s Catholic and Immanuel Lutheran schools.

Each student attending the Reality Store is given a fi ctitious adult scenario, an occupation, a monthly income, maybe a family to support. They are taught about the taxes that will come out of their gross incomes, and told they have to save 5 percent and give 3 percent to charity. From there, it’s up to them to budget for housing, child care, transportation, insurance, food, and so on.

As one student told Spencer counselor Joann Roehl after fi nding out how much her life would cost, “I do not want to grow up.”

Jenna Rasmussen of Pittsville was a teacher on Tuesday, with one child. Her salary of $3,508 was not quite enough to stretch over all the expenses she was incurring.

“After I bought a house, I had to get a second job as a cleaner,” she said.

Jenna was able to set up her 2-income budget so she could afford a few extras, such as a nice cell phone, and maybe even a pet. However, she said, the Reality Store experience showed her that spending must be controlled.

“I might have to be more wise with my choices,” she said.

Brandon Much of Spencer was living the relative good life, with a salary of $6,545 as an optometrist. He had three children for whom to provide, but he was able to avoid child care expenses because

his 15-year-old was old enough to watch her younger siblings. Still, Brandon chose to rent a house instead of buying, and his frugality allowed him to afford a cable TV package and nice clothes.

“It’s very important to save up your money for the good things,” he said.

The students at the Reality Store have to visit various stations where they buy items and services such as gas/electricity, housing, phone service, child care, home furnishings, etc. Each station is manned by adult volunteers who let the students know how much they’ll have to pay to obtain what they need or want.

One of the longest lines was at the vehicle station. There, volunteer Harley Meyer, the branch manager at Citizens State Bank of Loyal’s Spencer offi ce, said many students came early to buy a fl ashy vehicle, then had to return to trade down.

“They want a brand new vehicle,” Meyer said. “The fi rst time around, you let them do it. We had probably half of them come back and say, ‘We need to trade the car to get something less.’”

Meyer said he tried to explain that new cars generally get better gas mile-age, but also carry a higher price tag. The students had to make the best choice for their budgets, but many of them made the initial mistake of buying more than they

could afford.“When they come back, they’re so

down. ‘We’ve gotta trade,’ they say. It’s a great lesson,” Meyer said.

Roehl said the word “reality” is an apt one for an event name. Students who par-ticipate really began to understand what it takes to maintain a family on a budget.

“They say, ‘I have to pay $720 a month for day care?’” she said. “Their comment is, ‘No more kids.’”

Students also get a valuable lesson in prioritizing needs over wants. They may want the fanciest cell phone with unlim-ited data options, but they fi nd they can’t always have it, at least not if the children are going to eat.

“Everything is too expensive,” Roehl said the kids are learning.

Not every student left the Reality Store with an overly tight budget, though. Ja-cob Grimm, the one who said his friend had to have everything new, said he saved money by avoiding brand-name products. A welder pulling in $4,610 a month (net), Brandon also saved on day care because his employer provided a child care ben-efi t. That left Brandon with $500 a month to spend as he pleased. Instead of putting it in savings, however, he headed to the pet store and bought a cat, two dogs, a chinchilla, a mouse, and a ferret.

Choices tough at the Reality Store

Former Willard man

killed by stray bulletRusk County Sheriff’s deputies and

Department of Natural Resources con-servation wardens were continuing their investigation this week into a March 7 accidental shooting that claimed the life of former Willard resident Patrick Mc-Farlane. McFarlane was killed Saturday afternoon near his home in Glen Flora when he was struck by a stray bullet fi red by a coyote hunter.

DNR warden Mark Little said McFar-lane, 60, was outside his home while a group of coyote hunters was in the area. A hunter from La Crosse shot at an animal, and McFarlane was in the line of fi re near his residence. McFarlane was not hunting with the group.

A complete obituary for McFarlane is published elsewhere in this issue.

Loyal citizen nominations

soughtThe Loyal Chamber of Commerce once

again needs public nominations for citizen and business of the year awards to be pre-sented at its annual banquet on April 30.

Each year, the Chamber recognizes in-dividuals and businesses who have made positive contributions to the Loyal com-munity. It selects the award winners from nominations submitted by the public.

Nominees should be residents of the Loyal School District and have given of their time and energy to make Loyal a better place to live. Nominations should be sent to the Loyal Chamber of Com-merce, PO Box 13, Loyal, WI, 54446. People submitting nominations do not need to be from Loyal.

The Chamber will hold its annual business meeting and banquet on April 30 at the Loyal American Legion, where winners of the annual recognitions will be announced.

Walker ducking answers to campaign questions

Matt Pommer

What goes around comes around.Gov. Scott Walker, a familiar voice on

conservative talk shows, is being asked about topics that have been fodder in re-cent years on those outlets. And the gov-ernor is very unhappy about it. He wants to defi ne the issues for the media.

For example, Walker was asked if Presi-dent Obama is a Christian. The governor said he didn’t know, saying he had never talked about it or read about it. He would later describe it as a “gotcha” question.

The president’s life was a popular topic on conservative talk shows. His place of birth, his religion and history and race of his parents bounced around those talk shows. Recently, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he didn’t believe that Obama loves America. Walker sidestepped the issue when asked for his view.

Earlier this year, Walker went to Lon-don to give a speech, apparently to bolster his foreign affairs credentials as he seeks the presidency. He was asked about evo-lution versus creationism. He initially sidestepped the issue (he called it a punt).

Later he regrouped by straddling the issue. “Both science and my faith dictate that we are created by God. I believe faith and science are compatible and go hand-in-hand,” he said.

Back in Washington, the governor tore into the press for asking uncomfortable questions. Those issues are far from “what I think are the real issues,” he said. The attack on the press increased as his cam-paign group sought to raise money for this political operation.

His campaign sought to capitalize on the exchange.

“Now is the time to stand up against the publicity hounds and the journalistic pack and help Gov. Walker fi ght back with a ‘Friends of Scott Walker’ contribution of $10 or $100 or $1,000 or whatever amount is right for you,” a fund-raising email pleader encouraged.

The press isn’t done with diffi cult ques-tions for Walker. Late last month, The New York Times reported a Walker appearance before a small prayer group meeting in Iowa and what he may have said about abortion issues -- often a popular topic on the conservative talk show circuit.

Does Walker support a so-called “personhood” Constitutional amend-ment, which would defi ne life as beginning at con-ception? That approach would effectively outlaw all abortions and some methods of birth control. Walker has repeatedly sidestepped questions about barring abortions after 20 weeks, according to The New York Times story.

The governor also is sidestepping the Obamacare issue that is going to the U.S. Supreme Court. Plaintiffs in the case want to prohibit income-linked subsidies for health insurance bought through state-created exchanges. Wisconsin is one of those states.

Walker ducked the question of how Wisconsin would respond if citizens were unable to continue to receive federal subsi-dies to buy the required insurance. Walker

Another question, Walker could face his refusal to accept the more than $300 million in additional federal money for Medicaid. The governor contends he is worried the federal government won’t be able to fi nance it in future years and state taxpayers will have to foot the cost if that occurs. However, he neglects to mention that current lawmakers cannot bind fu-ture legislatures on what laws to enact or programs to fi nance.

Don’t sell out Mother NaturePage 2 - Tribune Record Gleaner - Wednesday, March 11, 2015 OPINION

by Peter WeinschenkDepartment of Natural Resources

Secretary Cathy Stepp on Tuesday told the state legislature’s Joint Committee on Finance she will initiate discussions over the next year to explore the possibil-ity of selling naming rights to Wisconsin state parks.

This is a terrible idea.It’s one thing for the state, as proposed

in Gov. Scott Walker’s budget, to raise the price of annual park passes (from $3 to $28) and to increase nightly campsite fees (from $2 to as much as $24), but it is quite another thing to sell the name of state parks to the highest bidder.

The fi rst proposal shifts the burden of paying for state parks from state tax-payers to users. There is, perhaps, some justice in this. On the other hand, selling a park’s name commercializes nature. This is sacrilege. People go to state parks to get away from the civilization’s crass trappings. Stepp’s suggestion would create a state where there is no escape from money, power, advertising and the marketplace.

Imagine walking along a pristine trail inside a state park and seeing some fl ora with a sign tacked on, “This tree brought to you by ABC Corporation.” That’s of-fensive.

Stepp’s proposal, however, doesn’t just compromise the camping public’s park experience. It does damage to all of us. It erodes our public life, that part of life defi ned by who we are, not how much money we have.

We must see Stepp’s idea as part of a long list of proposals from the Walker administration to replace our common so-ciety with a market society. The governor would defund public radio, compromise public schools with private school vouch-ers and decouple our public university from the legislature’s oversight. The gov-ernor will hand out tax cuts so, individu-ally, we can live better lives, but our life together will go begging. The common good will suffer.

Secretary Stepp may argue that the state budget has a defi cit and selling nam-

ing rights to state parks is a necessary way to fund part of her department. But is that true? Is this state really that broke? In our view, Stepp would not sell naming rights to state parks because of fi nancial need, only moral poverty. She would do so only by forgetting parks as part of this state’s environmental heritage. In that amnesia, she would declare everything is for sale and that markets triumph over all.

This is not just poor government policy, but immoral. A state park is a place where people can go as regular citizens and, if you are willing to pitch a tent or park a camper, enjoy the out of doors like anyone else. Everybody gets the same square plot of ground and pays the same nightly fee. In that way, a state park is important as a place where one person is not any better than anyone else. It doesn’t matter what that person’s race is, how much money they have or what side of the tracks they live on. When a state park name is sold, money trumps this ethos of equality. Sud-denly, a park is used for a private, not a public purpose. A named park suddenly becomes a place of haves and have-nots. Spiritually, such a place withers. Our com-mon morality is eroded.

We need to put Stepp’s proposal in a wider context. We, here in America, live in a time of greater income equality. Historically, Wisconsin has been one of the nation’s most equal states, but this is changing. The Economic Policy Institute reports that between 2009 and 2012 Wis-consin’s income grew by 5.9 percent. Of this amount, however, the state’s top one percent of earners captured nearly 70 per-cent of this total. The bottom 99 percent received a mere 2.1 percent of the state’s income growth. This inequality refl ects global economic trends and there is not a lot we here can do about it. Yet we have in our control our various state public insti-tutions that can buffer the impact of this income inequality. Here is the question, however. Do we maintain strong public schools? And a strong public university? And an inviting state park system with plenty of acres open to the public? Or, sadly, do markets conquer all?

Kulp: Unions’ best days still lie aheadby Rep. Bob Kulp

R, StratfordAfter debating Senate Bill 44 (the Right

to Work bill) for 24 hours on the Assembly fl oor, I have some thoughts on the bill.

I believe unions’ best days lay ahead. Here’s why I believe that. I have faith in the strength and vitality of unions. Unions have always done a great job of training and preparing a ready workforce. Many unions do a good job of representing members. As a result, many members are proud of their union. For those workers, if you like your union, I implore you to keep your membership.

Nothing changes immediately next week when this bill is signed into law. Unions will have plenty of time to prove that they are well worth the dues they collect. What Senate Bill 44 does is it gives every single worker the freedom to choose. They can continue to voluntarily pay dues and be part of their union, or they can

choose not to join a union. To the extent that unions prove to their

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

“Are we nuts?”, we asked ourselves Tuesday morning, March 3, as we drove into Loyal in light snow and a weather forecast that called for below zero read-ings.

Well, let me tell you it wasn’t much bet-ter the morning we left Port Aransas and headed home. It was 57 degrees, but the temperature started dropping quickly as we left the Gulf of Mexico waters.

By the time we were in Austin, it had cooled to slightly above 40 and would con-tinue to drop as we headed north on I-35.

By the time we arrived in Hillsboro, about 50 miles south of Fort Worth, the ground was covered with snow. I was hop-ing the ground temperature would keep the snow melted that fell on the roadway.

Normally, Fort Worth is one of three or four cities that tend to offer driving challenges. We have usually encountered long stretches of backed-up traffi c with your speed limited to lots of stop and go driving and maybe a high of 30 or 35 miles per hour, getting through the worst.

Apparently, most motorists had heeded the weatherman’s plea to stay off the high-ways. There was no backup this time. And as usually is the case, the closer you get to a city, the faster the traffi c is moving. Out on the highway we often fi nd ourselves all alone, while packs of cars and trucks race to see who can get ahead.

I was trying to be careful and not get too close to the traffi c moving along at 60 miles per hour when all of a sudden it happened. Tail lights on the traffi c ahead came on and then a car, in that pack, spun around. I noticed his smashed-in rear end as we got closer and he started moving across the three lanes of traffi c to the right shoulder.

The Texas Speedway is just up the road and I must have used a trick I’ve noticed during auto races on television. I picked what appeared to be an opening and sailed right by.

It only lasted a split second, but let me tell you, that is as close as I ever want to come to being involved in an accident.

The rest of the way was clear sailing, but we gave up counting the cars in the ditch or signs where someone had been.

Years ago, as I-35 was being rebuilt in Oklahoma and Texas, a cable barrier was constructed to keep cars from crossing the median and crashing into traffi c going in the opposite direction. At the time I thought they were spending a lot of money for the few times that would be needed.

I was wrong. If there was one time, there was probably several hundred in north Texas and Oklahoma where cars or

trucks had hit the barrier. Thankfully, I did not see one case of where the crashing vehicle broke through. Tow trucks were plenty busy Saturday and Sunday and I’m sure so will the body shops in weeks to come, just for a few hours of bad roads.

We don’t exactly retrace our route that is used going down, as we don’t need the stop at the shopping mall in San Marcos. We take a little more direct route to reach I-35, traveling through some remote or rural area of Texas. A lot of it is cattle country, or at least it looks like cattle coun-try. There are no ranch houses in sight, but beautifully decorated signs which announce the ranch’s name.

It is also kind of a historic journey as you pass through Goliad and Gonzales. Goliad was first settled in 1747, by the Spanish, when a mission was established there two years later.

In 1763, France ceded all that territory to Spain and the area would become even more involved in the Mexican War of Independence in 1812.

The cry, “Remember the Alamo” was joined by “Remember Goliad” when Santa Anna ordered the execution of all the Tex-ans held prisoner in the Mission in 1836.

Up the road is Gonzales which is where the Mexican Army wanted their cannon back and the Texans had a fl ag made with the wording “Come and Get It” where the fi ghting was referred to as another Lexington.

The community of Gonzales was the only community in Texas to send men to help defend the Alamo. They sent 32, all of whom were killed.

Two other communities on U.S. 183 are noticed for their agriculture. Cuero is called the “Turkey Capitol of the World” and you can’t miss Luling as it’s water tow-er is in the shape of a giant watermelon.

Oil played an important part of the de-velopment of that area in the early years and again now as the new method of sand fracking is making a name for itself in the industry. What was once referred to as a desolate community is now a thriv-ing town with lots of new businesses and hotel/motels.

While it seems a bit early to start look-ing for tulips to be popping through the ground, I did notice a sign of spring in the basement. Our begonias had sprouts sending their heads up. So it was time to get home.

Stuffed leg of lamb

Reuben dip

Remove plastic netting or twine from around the leg of lamb, if any, and open up the roast on a cutting board. Place the boned side of the roast up. With a sharp paring knife, cut away any excess fatty areas. Use a sharp knife to cut 1/2-inch deep slits in the meat about 2 inches apart, to help the meat lie fl at. Cover the meat with a sturdy piece of plastic wrap or a cut-apart food storage bag, and pound the meat with a mallet or the edge of a small plate until the roast is about 3/4 inch thick everywhere, and 10 to 14 inches square.

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.Sprinkle the upper side of the meat with salt and pepper, and then spread spinach

leaves over the top of the roast to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Break up the goat cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the spinach, then sprinkle the pine nuts over the cheese.

Roll the roast up into a tight cylinder, and tie the roast together with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals. It’s okay if a little stuffi ng protrudes from the sides of the roast.

In a fl at dish, mix together the fl our, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of pepper, the thyme, and the fennel seeds, and press the tied roast fi rmly into the fl our mixture to coat all sides.

Heat the sesame oil in a heavy oven-proof or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers, and sear all sides of the roast, including the ends, to a golden brown color. Lay the roast into the skillet, place into the preheated oven, and roast to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F for medium, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Estate Planning Expo to be held

Last month, 25 people died in traffi c crashes in Wisconsin, which was the third safest month of February in terms of traffi c fatalities in the last 10 years, according to preliminary statistics from the Wisconsin Department of Transpor-tation (WisDOT).

Last month also was tied for the fourth safest month of February since the end of World War II when the modern high-way transportation system started. The safest month of February, since the end of World War II, occurred in 2014, with 20 fatalities, and the deadliest was in 1968, with 73 fatalities.

Traffi c fatalities last month were fi ve more than February, 2014, but two fewer than the fi ve-year average for February.

As of Feb. 28, a total of 61 people have died in traffic fatalities during 2015, including seven pedestrians and one bi-cyclist. Traffi c deaths through February

were eight more than the same period last year but two fewer than the fi ve-year average.

“The offi cial start of spring is March 20, so it likely will not be too long before we see more bicyclists, pedestrians, scooter riders, and motorcyclists trav-eling on Wisconsin roads,” says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “Drivers will need to watch for them, especially at intersections and while making turns or lane changes. To prevent crashes, drivers should always eliminate distractions and pay strict attention to traffi c condi-tions as well as the other roadway users around them. For their part, bicyclists, pedestrians, scooter riders, and motor-cyclists must obey all traffi c signals and other laws. We all must share the road safely.”

February traffi c crashes killed 25 people

MADISON -- The confirmation of highly pathogenic H5 avian infl uenza in a commercial turkey fl ock in Minnesota yesterday is a clear reminder to poultry owners to take precautions against the disease, say animal health offi cials with the Wisconsin Department of Agricul-ture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

“The infl uenza strain is the same one found in backyard and wild birds in the Pacifi c fl yway that includes Washington, Oregon and Idaho. This confi rmation is the fi rst fi nding in the Mississippi fl yway, so Wisconsin bird owners need to take no-tice and prepare,” says Dr. Paul McGraw, Wisconsin’s state veterinarian.

Though the disease is often fatal for birds, the CDC considers the risk to people from these highly pathogenic avian infl u-enza (HPAI) H5 infections in wild birds, backyard fl ock and commercial poultry, to be low. No human infections with these viruses have been detected at this time. In addition, poultry and eggs are safe to consume as long as they are properly handled and meat is cooked to an internal

temperature of 165°F.“It’s in a poultry owner’s best interest

to take precautions now to minimize the effect that HPAI will have on their fl ock if the disease makes its way to Wisconsin,” McGraw says.

McGraw recommends the following six steps for protecting birds from HPAI:

1. Keep your distance: Restrict access to your property and keep your birds away from other birds.

2. Keep it clean: Wash your hands thoroughly before and after working with your birds. Clean and disinfect equipment.

3. Don’t haul disease home: Buy birds from reputable sources and keep new birds separated for at least 30 days.

4. Don’t borrow disease: Do not share equipment or supplies with neighbors or other bird owners. If you must borrow, disinfect it fi rst.

5. Know the warning signs: Early detec-tion can help prevent the spread of the disease. Check your birds frequently. If you fi nd a sick or dead bird, don’t touch it.

6. Report sick birds: Don’t wait. If your birds are sick or dying, call DATCP at 1-800-572-8981. If you notice dead wild birds, call the DNR’s hotline at 1-800-433-

1610.More information about avian infl u-

enza is available at datcp.wi.gov and from the USDA-APHIS at www.aphis.usda.gov.

Avian infl uenza concerns prompt biosecurity reminder for poultry owners

With temperatures to warm up sig-nificantly this week, the Wisconsin De-partment of Transportation (WisDOT) has announced the frozen road declaration will end statewide effective March 9, at 12:01 a.m. In addition, spring thaw and class II road restrictions will take effect statewide on March 13, at 12:01 a.m.

Class II roads include about 1,400 miles of state highways susceptible to damage from heavy trucks during the spring thaw period as frost leaves the ground. More information regarding class II roadways and roadway postings can be found on WisDOT’s Web site at: www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/truck/weightrestrictions.htm.

Declaration of spring thaw also means suspension of most divisible load over-weight permits. Because of the spring thaw, WisDOT permit numbers beginning with any of the following two-letter codes

will be suspended until further notice: AC, AG, FF, MI, PB and RF. If the permit number begins with “GG”, contact the Wis-DOT permit offi ce at (608) 266-7320. More information on overweight permits can be found at www.dot.wisconsin.gov/business/carriers/osowgeneral.htm. A recorded message with information on road restric-tions is available by calling (608) 266-8417.

If the permit is for a no-fee Implement of Husbandry (IoH) or an Agricultural Com-mercial Motor Vehicle (Ag CMV) contact the governmental jurisdiction that issued the permit. For permits issued by WisDOT, email questions to [email protected].

County highways, town roads, and city and village streets may also be posted or limited to legal load limits or less. Deci-sions to place or lift weight restrictions on those roads are up to local units of government.

Road restrictions begin March 13

Patrick ‘Pat’ McFarlanePatrick I. "Pat" McFarlane, 60, Glen Flora, formerly

of Willard, died on Saturday, March 7, 2015, at the Rusk County Memorial Hospital in Ladysmith. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., on Thursday, March 12, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Willard. Rev. Steve Brice will offi ciate. Interment will take place at a later date. Pallbearers will be Lon Knoll (brother-in-law), Larry McFarlane (brother), Dave McFarlane (brother), and Al Debevec (friend). Visitation will be held at the church from 4-8 p.m., on Wednesday, March 11, and again at the church, on Thursday, from 10 a.m. until time of service.

Patrick Irving McFarlane was born on May 14, 1954, in Riceville, Iowa, the son of Donald A. and Donna F. (nee Duffy) McFarlane. As a young boy, his family moved to a farm near Willard, where Pat attended North Willard School. While attending Greenwood High School, he worked at Barr Minkery. He graduated from Greenwood High School in 1972. Pat mar-ried Deborah May Knoll on June 16, 1973, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Willard. Shortly after their marriage, Pat began a 4-year apprenticeship in steam and pipe fi tting through Chippewa Valley Technical College with Local 383 in Chippewa Falls, which later merged with Local 434 in Mosinee. During his apprenticeship, he also worked in the woods as a logger, hauled milk on weekends for Elmdale Cheese Factory, and later for North Hendren Cheese to provide for his growing family. After becoming certifi ed in his trade, Pat worked for 33 years with Local 434 until retiring in June 2014. Pat had many interests in life, but especially loved spending time with his family and grandchildren, hunting, fi shing, anything outdoors, sunrises and sunsets, and the simple things in life.

Third time no charmDespite daring rally, Loyal girls can’t

break Assumption playoff hex

DEAN LESAR/STAFF PHOTOLoyal’s Missy Benz (right) and Devyn Schoonover wrestle for control of the ball with Wisconsin Rapids Assumption’s Gena Grundhoffer in the fi rst half of a March 5 WIAA Division 5 sectional semi-fi nal game at Waupaca. Assumption built a 17-point lead midway through the third period before Loyal rallied back to take a 1-point lead with two minutes to play, only to see the Royal’s score the winning basket with 22 seconds left.

There’s a strong possibility that the Loyal girls basketball team is one of the fi ve or six best in the state in Division 5. With Wisconsin Rapids Assumption again in its path, however, Loyal once more was unable to reach the pinnacle of high school athletics -- a state tournament berth.

Loyal fell to Assumption 56-52 in a March 5 WIAA Division 5 sectional semi-fi nal game played at Waupaca, making it the third straight year in which the Royals have ended Loyal’s season. The 2013 and 2014 losses came in regional title games, while this year’s took place one step fur-ther along the WIAA tournament trail. The win sent Assumption to the sectional semi-fi nal, where it hammered Green Bay N.E.W. Lutheran 68-48 to move on to the state tournament this week in Green Bay. Loyal’s season ended at 22-4.

It could have been Loyal in the sectional fi nal in Oconto Falls were it not for a Gena Grundhoffer one-on-one move in the paint

with 22 seconds left to play to thwart a mad Loyal comeback from a 17-point defi cit mid-way through the third period. The Loyal rally produced its only lead of the game at 50-49 with 2:07 left in the fi nal period, but Grundhoffer broke a 52-52 tie by taking a low-post entry pass and making a move in the lane to give her team a lead. Loyal’s Karsyn Rueth threw up a potential tying shot from the baseline with 14 seconds to go, but Assumption’s Olivia Skibba snared the rebound and drew a foul. Her two free throws with 10.9 seconds to go made the Assumption win a done deal.

Of small consolation to the Greyhounds is that they fi nally gave Assumption all it could handle. Loyal lost the 2013 regional final game by 20 points and last year’s margin was 15, plus the Royals had handed the Greyhounds a 20-point loss this past December in a non-conference game.

Early on in the March 5 sectional semi-fi nal, it looked to be another Assumption

blow-out win. With Grund-hoffer scoring the game’s first seven points on her own, Assumption fl ew to a 10-1 lead halfway through the opening period. Loyal’s first five possessions in-cluded two turnovers and three Assumption blocked shots.

Assumption led 14-5 af-ter the first quarter, but it could have been even worse. The Royals were whistled fi ve times for trav-eling in the fi rst eight min-utes of the game and com-mitteed nine first-period turnovers. Loyal also had multiple passing turnovers in the sloppy fi rst period.

The second quarter didn’t go any better for Loyal, which got no closer than eight points and al-lowed a 6-0 Assumption run at the end to trail 28-13 at the half. Jordyn Pieper hit a 3-pointer from the wing with 5:36 to go in the quarter to slice the lead to 18-10, but Grundhoffer counter-punched with a pe-rimeter jumper and guard Autumn Linzmeier scored on a third-chance offensive rebound. Loyal’s last score of the period came on a Missy Benz free throw with 2:44 to go before the break.

Loyal still showed few signs of life through the fi rst half of the third quar-ter. Linzmeier picked off a Loyal pass for a break-away

score for a 30-13 lead and Loyal couldn’t hit the mark on its shots. Jaelynn Young got Loyal’s fi rst bucket of the second half on a corner jumper with 4:44 to go in the pe-riod. Linzmeier’s 3-pointer at the 3:59 mark pushed the lead back to 17 and seemed to all but seal the game’s outcome.

But Loyal did not quit. Beginning with Benz’s two free throws at the 3:40 mark, the Greyhounds mounted a 10-2 run over a 78-second span to get the lead into single digits. Devyn Schoonover helped spark the rally with a steal, a score and a foul. She missed the free throw, but Benz got the rebound and was fouled, and then hit both throws. Linzmeier scored on a back-door cut to temporarily slow the Loyal run,

until Morgan Reinwand hit one of two free throws and Pieper popped a 3-pointer from the corner at the 2:22 mark of the third period.

Assumption scored with 1:33 to go. Reinwand got that hoop back on a driving score, and Schoonover hit two free throws after she was fouled on a frenzied sequence with players from both teams diving to the fl oor for loose balls. Grundhoffer slowed Loyal’s momentum with a 3-pointer with 30 seconds to go, but Young cut the defi cit back to a manageable eight points at quar-ter’s end with two free throws.

DEAN LESAR/STAFF PHOTOSpencer senior Mitchell Susa drives between Auburndale’s Alexander Marth (23) and Joshua Vanschoick during the Rockets’ 61-40 WIAA Division 4 regional semifi nal loss on March 6.

Spencer season scuttledAuburndale pays no heed to Rockets’ ECC

title in posting 21-point regional winOne might think a regular season con-

ference championship would stand for something in the post-season playoffs. As Spencer found out on March 6, it doesn’t.

Auburndale was unimpressed by the Rockets’ 14-2 season in the Eastern Clover-belt Conference and its 18-4 overall record coming into the WIAA Division 4 semifi -nal. The Apaches were dominant from the opening tip-off, with tight defense limiting Spencer’s outside scoring and an effi cient offense racking up points in the paint.

In a Jan. 3 non-conference game be-tween the two teams, Rocket guards Bobby Pilz and Nate Mercier each scored 23 points as Spencer came within a point of a win. In the rematch at Auburndale on March 6, the Apache guards stuck to Mercier and Pilz like feathers on hot glue, and held them to a combined 22 points on 6-20 shooting from the fi eld.

As the Auburndale defense focused its efforts on the perimeter game, its offense concentrated on the paint. On numerous feeds inside to post players Joshua Van-schoick and Alexander Marth, the Apaches rolled to a 36-16 advantage on points scored in the lane. Spencer was unable to match up inside, leading to multiple Apache lay-ups and short jumpers on inside post-ups.

Auburndale controlled the fi rst quar-ter and led 16-6 until Pilz nailed a jumper almost from the half-court line as time expired. The shot did nothing to counter the Auburndale momentum, as it went on a 12-1 run to start the second quarter for a 30-10 lead. Two Pilz buckets kept the Rockets within 20 at the half.

Miles Weber converted a 3-point play in the lane to start the second period, but Apache guard Matthew Nikolay did the same for Auburndale on its next posses-sion. Another Weber score inside and two Mercier free throws got Spencer’s offense out of its rut, but the Rocket defense could do little to stop the Auburndale inside game. Spencer tried some full-court pres-sure, but Auburndale broke the press with passes that led to several easy transition scores.

Mitchell Susa hit a 3-pointer for Spen-cer with 3:47 to go in the third period and Weber followed with a baseline move to get the lead back under 20 points.

Early in the fourth quarter, Pilz hit back-to-back three pointers and Susa scored twice, but Auburndale matched ev-ery Rocket point. Spencer never got closer than 17 points at 55-38 with 2:57 left to play.

Spencer shot a dismal 37 percent (14-38) from the fi eld, including 5-18 on 3-pointers. The Rockets were 7-11 from the free-throw line.

Auburndale shot an effi cient 64 percent (21-33) and hit two of eight attempts from 3-point range. The Apaches also enjoyed an edge from the line, hitting 17 of 23 at-tempts.

Pilz led Spencer with 16 points, hitting four 3-pointers. Weber scored nine points and Mercier was held to six.

Vanschoick hit 8 of 11 short-range shots for a 19-point game. Marth was 6-8 from the fl oor for 17 points. Nikolay added 16 points, including a 6-7 effort from the free-throw line.


Big Goals on Sheboygan HarborHello friends,This week I had a powerful itch to live on the ice and try catching

a rainbow, or brown trout or possibly a trophy northern pike. My plan was simple, I would head over to Sheboygan, and set up a camp on the ice, right in the harbor, fi sh with tip ups, possibly jig as well and hopefully ice a trophy from Lake Michigan

Wednesday, March 3 -- high 11, low minus 13There is always a twist, and this week I had a double whammy. My

plan was to spend Wednesday and Thursday on the ice, and then on Thursday evening I was going to speak to the Manitowoc Fish and Game City Unit about starting a KAMO Chapter. This agreement was made two months ago and I was not going to be the one to break it.

Here is the other part of the double whammy, last night I hit the rack at midnight, with my truck packed for this trip and not long after I went to bed that nasty virus that wreaks havoc on your lungs and sinuses hit me and I was one sick puppy. Best description, I felt like I was drowning! I had to do the trip and I had to speak in Manitowoc.

About all I can say is this, if you have to get it done, and you are not well, use DayQuil/NyQuil! So I hit the harbor at 1, I am foreign to fi shing browns and bows through the ice. There is a father and a son fi shing with tip ups and they are set up near the boat launch, 50 yards away someone is in a shack jigging. As always I pimp the locals for info. I am told that if I put my time in I will at least catch a gator and quite possibly a brown or bow.

As usual I have ten million pounds of gear, I pre-planned and had an Otter Sled loaded with three tip ups, my Jiffy Pro 4 and a bucket of golden shiners. I drill my fi rst hole, hook up a minnow and begin lowering it in what is about 11 feet of water. As the minnow is swim-ming down, it begins swimming fast and strong, I realize it is not a minnow, instead my minnow has been gobbled up by a very large fi sh. I set the hook and what I feel is the biggest fi sh I have had on this winter takes off like a 747 and cuts/breaks my fl urocarbon line.

I do not care if this virus kills me; I need to catch a big fi sh! Lines are set I begin hauling ten million pounds of gear to campsite. At this time, I met a really cool dude by the name of Dick Scheifelbein (guy in the shack). Dick had caught a 12-pound brown, a 36-inch gator and three other fi sh. I get some great info and begin setting up camp.

Bad luck kind of came my way when a pole breaks on my Eskimo Fat Fish 13x7 foot cabin on the ice as I am attempting to set it up. The Fat Fish has been used hard and put to bed wet for three winters, with help of new friends on the ice shack is kind of put up.

A fl ag goes up on one of my tip ups and I catch what is probably the fattest 31-inch gator that I have ever seen. It gets dark, I love the ice, I want spring to wait another month, I am sick, who cares, I have NyQuil.

Thursday, March 5 -- high 14, low minus 13I slept on the ice once again last night. Two propane lights, a Mr.

Heater, my body on a cot and inside of two sleeping bags.I was up at fi rst light this morning and the fl ags were fl ying once

the sun was high. I caught another 31-inch gator a smaller one, had several fi sh drop the minnow, which I was told is a brown trout trait and I caught a fi ve-pound brown which was my goal. I heard so many stories of true monsters being caught and missed here that I might return in a few days.

Tonight, I headed over to Manitowoc and gave that talk to a full house of outdoorsmen and women. Folks in that area, many of you read this column, you can have a KAMO chapter, there is already one just north of you near Maribel.

Check out www.kamokids.org and call or e-mail me.I could do a commercial for DayQuil/Nyquil! Sunset

In dark times, someone has to hold the lightI consider myself to be somewhat of an expert

fl ashlight holder. Fixing a broken hose behind the washing machine in a dingy basement with enough cobwebs hanging in the shadows to knit an afghan and need a little illumination? I'm your guy. Got a leak in your car's manifold fi lter piston adapter and can't get duct tape on it with only one hand? Call me. We'll talk rates. But I don't come cheap.

Expert fl ashlight holders aren't easy to fi nd these days, not that they ever were, come to think of it. See, most people are capable of fi xing things by themselves, so they are actively involved in the repairs at hand. Th ere are a few folks, though, like me, who are thoroughly incapable of repairing even the most minor broken piece or part, so, therefore, the fl ashlight is handed to us. And it is there we shine, pun intended.

My Dad recognized early on that I was mostly a klutz in a garage, a lad who looked at a screw-driver and thought, "Yikes, that's a nasty-lookin' nose picker." When he'd hand me a wrench, I'd drop it a full drain oil pan; when he'd ask me to hand him a 3/8" socket, I'd produce a ball-peen hammer. Once, aft er he tried for six hours to teach me the "left y-loosey, righty-tighty" formula for loosening and tightening bolts, he ... well, maybe we won't go there right now. Let's just say there were tears involved, and they weren't mine.

When I was 9 or 10, I'd guess, Dad started to entrust me with an important part of certain repair procedures -- the flashlight. He'd be working on a carburetor, say, and the car hood would block the room's ambient light, and he'd say, "Hey, Dean, get that screwdriver out of your nostril and come over here and hold the light." I'd run over, of course, proud as a peacock that my Dad needed my able assistance, even if my hand was as unsteady as a dried leaf in the wind.

My dad was a fi ne mechanic, I recall, and could fi x any part of a vehicle. Th at meant there was al-ways plenty of work for an unemployed fl ashlight holder like myself, say on my back on a dirt fl oor for a transmission job, sometimes in a car interior laying sideways with my head between the seats if we'd be tearing into some sub-dash wiring. Brake jobs were common, carburetors constant, and we'd occasionally tackle a tractor engine overhaul or a lawnmower leak. Th rough it all, I was there, one hand on the fl ashlight, the other smearing fresh grease someplace where it was sure to get on a lady's white dress. I prided myself on that.

Along about 12, I'd reckon, I graduated to the professional man's fl ashlight -- the full-fl edged trouble light. Th is came with an electric cord -- real men don't need batteries -- and it had a hook to hang it on things, and it threw light on a mechanic's workspace like an airport strobe across Runway #6 at O'Hare. When my Dad said to unroll the trouble light cord and bring it over, I knew we were in for a big job, and my light-holding skills would be highly counted upon for the intricate work of the project. One wrong turn of the wrist, for example, and the trouble light would clobber Dad's eyes, blinding him until his next birthday. Drop it and the bulb would shatter, setting back the work schedule to unacceptable lengths.

Th e worst part of a trouble light was the heat. Th e back part that shielded the bulb and refl ected the light onto its target grew as hot as red oak em-bers on a long job, so I'd have to be careful not to touch it against anything important, like the skin on Dad's forehead, neck, arms, hands, fi ngers, well, you get it. I don't recall causing any major burns, and I was never demoted back to the fl ashlight, so I must have done the job.

Holding a fl ashlight is not as easy as it sounds. One would think you just mindlessly point the

device in the direction you want the beam of light to shine, and while that is true to a major degree, there are subtle skills one must master to reach my level of performance. Th e fi rst thing a fl ashlight holder has to learn is that you're not performing this service for yourself, you're holding it for the person who actually knows how to do something valuable.

For instance, say we're changing spark plugs on a car engine. A novice fl ashlight holder might sit up on the fender, nonchalantly throwing light to and fro, but a true expert knows to lean in, extend the wrist, bend the elbow at a 38 degree angle, and direct the beam exactly where the mechanic needs it to be. Oh, sure, occasionally you lose concentra-tion and stick the fl ashlight under your shirt to see all the pretty colors, but then your Dad says "Get the (*^%^ light back down here," and you regroup. By the way, I'd tell you what (*^%^ actually means, but Dad said never to repeat it in front of Mom or the local priest or his aunts, so I'm fi guring it don't belong in the newspaper.

As life will do, it moved along, I grew up, didn't have time for fl ashlight holding anymore, and well, Dad passed away and went to that great garage in the sky where the kids that hang around don't stick

sharp tools up their noses. I used my talents occasionally through the years, maybe holding a fl ashlight for a friend as he fi xed a busted hose, or looking into a household repair need with my light to decide, "Well, gee, this is about all I know how to do. Better call somebody else."

I hadn't thought about my fl ashlight holding experience for quite some time, until Monday night, when my 17-year-old son, Ben, needed a hand as he added some transmission fl uid to his fi rst truck, which he bought a few weeks ago.

He climbed up on the bumper to reach the fi ll tube, while I stood beside the truck, holding the fl ashlight, innately remembering to point the beam where Ben needed it to be. I'm sure he didn't realize the level of skill I was bringing to the job, the practical expertise, the long hours of practice I'd invested to someday be able to jump into any situation at a moment's notice and to be able to not just direct a small shaft of artifi cial light on a dark spot, but to illuminate the workspace as if heaven itself had opened and directed a fl ood of sunlight across the earth's face. Until, of course, Ben said "Get the (*^%^ light back down here." Huh. Wonder where he picked that up.

Anyway, we got the transmission fl uid in, in no small part because the fl ashlight was wielded so precisely. It was strange to be under the hood again, this time me the adult, with a son of my own, two guys with dirty hands, fi xing something. It didn't matter that I was still the one holding the fl ashlight, 'cuz sometimes in life you just have to admit there are things at which you have no skill, and if the best way you can contribute is to hold the light, well, so be it.

Yeah, and if you think I know how to handle a fl ashlight, you ought to see me with a dustpan.

NEILLSVILLE -- More than 60 percent of Clark County residents get their drink-ing water from a private well. Homeown-ers, who use a private well and rely on groundwater for their drinking water, are responsible for making sure their water is safe to drink. Results from the 2014 Clark County Drinking Water Test-ing and Education Program show that 37 percent of the private wells tested in the county contained contaminants that made the drinking water unsafe.

On Sept. 15, 2014, more than 75 house-holds in Clark County participated in Clark County’s Drinking Water Educa-tion Program. These homeowners had their drinking water tested at the Water & Environmental Analysis Lab (WEAL) in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Most home-owners found out that their water is safe to drink. Yet, some homeowners were surprised to learn that their drinking water has nitrates, bacteria, and other contaminants, such as arsenic, copper or lead and that their water was unsafe to drink.

This spring the Clark County Land Conservation Department is teaming up with UW-Extension and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Center for Watershed Science and Education to offer Clark County residents another chance to participate in drinking water testing and education. The testing being offered includes nitrates, bacteria, pH, alkalin-ity, hardness, conductivity, corrosivity, chloride, arsenic, lead, copper, iron, zinc,

calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfate, and the pesticide atrazine.

Normally these tests would cost $120, but the Clark County Land Conservation Department is offering the testing at a reduced price of $50. The reduced-price testing will only be offered to the fi rst 100 households to pre-register. However, anyone is welcome to sample their drink-ing water at any other time of the year at full price.

Households who would like to par-ticipate need to pick up sampling bottles on April 1 or April 2, at one of two loca-tions in Clark County. Pick up locations are located in Neillsville and Owen. On April 6, participants collect their water samples in the morning and return them as soon as possible to the same place they picked up their bottles. The samples will be analyzed at WEAL the next day.

Approximately one month after wa-ter samples are collected, participants can attend a free educational program where they will learn about their drink-ing water testing results, learn about Clark County’s groundwater quality and quantity, and have an opportunity to get their specifi c drinking water questions answered.

Pre-registration is required. The deadline to pre-register is March 25. To pre-register call the UW-Extension Department at 715-743-5121. For more information about this opportunity, call the Land Conservation Department at 715-743-5102.

on its fi rst possession of the fi nal period, Karsyn Rueth kicked the large Loyal crowd into a frenzy with a 3-pointer from the top of the arc to cut the gap to 41-36. After a Royal free throw, Reinwand pump-faked her defender and drove to the hoop for a score, then hit a free throw on the Greyhounds’ next possession to slice the lead to 42-39. Linzmeier answered with two free throws. Schoonover hit two from the line for Loyal with 4:58 left to play.

After Benz grabbed a weak-side offensive rebound and scored to keep the Royal lead at four points with 4:37 left, Grundhoffer hit another perimeter jumper and Macie Zurfl uh hit a driving basket to extend the lead back to six. A passing turnover by Loyal gave Assumption the ball back, but the Royals traveled to wipe out their chance to increase the lead.

Reinwand drove for another hoop for a 49-45 score with 2:58 left. Young was fouled while working the glass after a missed Royal shot, and she converted one free throw. Young then stole the ball in the Royal backcourt and went the distance for a lay-up to get the Greyhounds within a point. They fi nally took the lead with 2:07 left when Reinwand jumped a pass for a steal and score.

Grundhoffer’s two free throws gave Assumption the lead back with 1:56 to go. After yet another Loyal turnover on a bad pass, Linzmeier hit one of two free throws for a 52-50 lead.

With just under a minute to play, Young drove to the basket and pulled up for a 1-hander off the glass to tie the score. Assumption called time-out with 33 seconds to go, setting up a play for Grundhoffer. She hit the shot in the paint with 22 seconds to go.

Loyal did not call time-out. In transition, Rueth pulled up from the baseline with 14 seconds to go, but her shot was off the mark and Skibba was there for the rebound. Loyal fouled her with 10.9 seconds to go, but she hit both free throws. Trailing by four with less than 10 seconds left, Loyal turned the ball over and did not get a fi nal shot.

Assumption hit 44 percent (20-45) of its shots on the night, including 3-8 on 3-pointers. Loyal shot 39 percent (15-39) and hit four of nine from beyond the arc. Loyal held an edge at the line, hitting 18 of 25. Assumption was 13 of 21.

Benz led Loyal with 13 points, Reinwand scored 11, and Pieper added nine on 3-4 shooting from 3-point range.

Grundhoffer scored 22 points for Assumption and Linzmeier scored 21. The two play-ers took 28 of Assumption’s 45 shots.

Loyal’s Jaelynn Young pressures Assumption’s Kara Milkey in the backcourt as the Royals try to run out the clock in their WIAA Division 5 sectional semi-fi nal win on March 5 in Waupaca.

Devyn Schoonover and Ryleigh Wilke run with Assumption’s Macie Zurfl uh to prevent a Royal fast break in the fi rst half of the March 5 sectional semi-fi nal.
