3 local women you should know KARLA SWITA FOR DAILY HERALD MEDIA
Dr. Ann Schultz, Mosinee Ann Schultz, 50, has experienced many firsts in her educational career including being the first girl ever to play boys baseball in Mosinee, and now she’s at the helm of the Mosinee School District as their first female superintendent. “Growing up here in Mosinee and having the opportunity to serve the community that raised me to believe that I can be and accomplish anything is pretty amazing,” said Schultz. Schultz didn’t expect it, but she’s back and working for the same district that gave her wings in 1983 when she graduated from high school. “I was raised in an amazing small town where everyone cared for everyone. Neighbors opened their doors to you and welcomed you at the dinner table. The barriers of being a girl never stood in my way. People in my hometown believed in me and instilled a sincere sense of pride in me. When I didn’t go to school, my high school principal knocked on my door, and when college was too hard it was my high school chemistry teacher who tutored me at his kitchen table,” said Schultz. Because of the teachers who believed in Schultz, she wanted to give back that gift of elevating children to their greatest potential. “Educators never give up. They never stop learning and growing and pushing others to become better. They spread hope like a wildfire and instill in you the tenacity and drive it takes to climb the highest ladder.” Schultz sees great potential in an environment that celebrates learning every day. “There are no limits in the world of education,” she said. “As a superintendent, I understand that I’m a change agent and I’m very comfortable at disrupting the status quo if our children need us to change. If what we’re doing is not working for them, we have to change,” she said. Transitioning from a teacher to an administrator, Schultz is accustomed to change and growth. She has taught at Lincoln Hills Correctional Facility in Irma, Edgar Middle School and Athens High School. As an administrator, she has worked in Bowler, Merrill and Oshkosh school districts. “With 20 years of educational leadership behind me, I know that I let my intuition take over often. By spending a lot of time observing and being present in our schools and our community, I learn a lot and can help my team make informed decisions. We have an awesome responsibility to impact our children’s lives forever and I take that challenge of leading our school community very seriously.” Making sure that exceptional teachers are in the classrooms is very important to Schultz, who recognizes the significant impact that teachers can have on children. “As superintendent I have had a unique opportunity to make sure that our staff is the very best.” Schultz sees to it that her district is advancing into the 21st century by adhering to state-set standards, while always balancing the needs of the students. “As new expectations enter our world, we adjust, realign and intertwine those standards into our curriculum to make sure that

those standards are being taught to our children,” she said. Education is a common thread running through Schultz’s family as her husband Kirby is principal of Oakwood Elementary School in Oshkosh and her oldest daughter is a 3rd grade teacher at Rothschild Elementary School. She also has a stepson working in Shanghai, China, a daughter writing for InStyle Magazine in New York City and another daughter who’s a senior at Mosinee High School.

Maureen Pilsner, Wausau Enforcing the law is a tough and dangerous job in the midst of an increasingly violent world. Female police officers face the added challenge of effectively diffusing aggressive situations with verbal communication and peace-building tactics. “I went off to college in pursuit of law enforcement and discovered reality,” said Officer Maureen Pilsner of the Wausau Police Department. “It’s a predominately male job, so it became important to figure out new ways of dealing with people. I had to learn to communicate well to increase my mental strength to compensate for my lack of physical strength.” As a youth growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, she loved watching police programs on television and took notice of females entering the law enforcement field. “We had to prove ourselves a bit more in the beginning. That was 25 years ago. Times have certainly changed,” said Officer Pilsner, 45. She chose law enforcement as a career because she wanted to be a force for good and make a difference in her community. “Many times I deal with people at their worst and I feel that our job is to help them get through some of that,” she said. “It can be very rewarding to drive away from a call knowing that you’ve just helped someone through a rough spot.” DAILY HERALD MEDIA PHOTO

Some of her best times come in the form of smiles. After working as a patrol office for six years, she took on the role of Officer Friendly, a safety officer who acquaints school kids with law enforcement officials as part of a community relations campaign. “For many children, seeing Officer Friendly is their first positive encounter with the police and that’s important to build trust and security.”

As health and wellness director of Woodson YMCA, Lemanski is in charge of scheduling all water, land and yoga group exercise classes. She manages over 75 fitness instructors, personal trainers, and strength training coaches and is race director for the Woodson YMCA triathlon in the summer. “Most importantly, I strive to take care of all our members that look to the wellness department to improve their lifestyle,” said Lemanski. While she’s only held the position for a year, she’s been teaching group exercise for 20 years and has served six years as the health and wellness coordinator. Staying active outside of work is important to Lemanski too as she’s a wife and a mother to three children. “Every day that I get to spend with my family is a special gift, one that I will never take for granted,” she said.

Did you ever notice that, although it’s just a calendar on the wall, life seems to slow down about this time of year? Did you ever need something to rev your engine right about now? Why not look for these great books?
“Good Mourning: A Memoir” By Elizabeth Meyer with Caitlin Moscatello c. 2015, Gallery Books $24.99 / $32.99 Canada, 281 pages No doubt, you’ve grown up hearing about how you can’t take it with you, and in “Good Mourning” by Elizabeth Meyer, you’ll see how one young woman learned that the old saying is absolutely true. Just after Meyer’s father died, she realized that it had been she who’d planned the funeral – not the funeral home. She did it all, and so she marched into the high-end Manhattan funeral home’s office and asked for a job. She knew most of the clientele. She knew their needs. And all you need to know is that this is a great memoir.
“Combat-Ready Kitchen” By Anastacia Marx de Salcedo c. 2015, Current $27.95 / $32.95 Canada, 294 pages So what’s for dinner tonight? In “Combat-Ready Kitchen” by Anastacia Marx de Salcedo, you’ll read the surprising story of how the U.S. military influences what you put on your plate, pack in your lunchbox, and eat for breakfast. In a not-so-secret compound in New England, the government is hard at work, trying to figure out the most efficient, nutritious way to feed its armed forces. Their ideas are adapted by food manufacturers – and hence, by us – but is it good for civilians? Marx de Salcedo has a few surprises in answer to that question. Read the book and find out.
“Dogfella: How an Abandoned Dog Named Bruno Turned This Mobster’s Life Around” By James Guiliani (with Charlie Stella) c. 2015, Da Capo Press $24.99 / $31.50 Canada, 239 pages Finally, if you’ve got a pet you love, badda-bing, badda-boom, find “Dogfella” by James Guiliani (with Charlie Stella). It’s the story of a former jailbird and mobster who couldn’t care less about animals – until he falls under the spell of an ailing and abused little dog. True story, and you won’t be able to fuhggedaboutit. Pick these books up for the best fall pick-me-up. Happy reading!

Mom battles back from broken heart KARLA SWITA
I
t was Thanksgiving weekend in 2007 and life was just how Cindy Baumann preferred it: bustling and full of family. Gatherings with her husband, four boys and two daughters-in-law, and shopping with her sisters stirred up the usual holiday excitement.
But on that Saturday, a phone call sent her on an unimaginable journey of surviving the greatest grief she’s ever known. Cindy, now 55, remembers that she was getting ready to pick up her youngest son at her parents' house in Merrill when the phone rang. It was her daughter-in-law sobbing, “There’s been a terrible accident.” Knowing her two oldest sons were deer hunting, Cindy asked, “Who?” Her second-born son Shaun, 26, was accidentally shot and killed in a hunting drive in Price County. It was the same son who, at only 2 1/2 months old, battled and survived neuroblastoma, a malignant cancer, after three years of chemotherapy, radiation and multiple surgeries. As a result of physicians saving his life, Shaun graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was planning a career in medicine to help other sick children. He was Cindy’s hero, she said. Shaun also was a new husband to Julia, the love of his life. Cindy saw his wedding

day as a victory and blessing. Little did she know that in three short months, the celebration would turn into eight years of strife and struggle to mend a broken heart. “I was strong, determined and thought I could handle everything that came my way, until I lost my son,� Cindy said. “He fought so hard to live, and we fought so hard to keep him. When I lost him, a part of me died. The wind was knocked out of me. I fell to my knees and my heart shattered in a million pieces.�
Effortless style... Timeless fashions
Cindy felt like her world had stopped while everyone else’s kept going, she said. “It was like I was seeing through six-inches of glass. I could see everything going on, but I couldn’t hear or feel it,� she said. “At first, I couldn’t do anything but cry and pray for him to come home.� As time passed, the darkness she was experiencing didn’t pass in spite of bereavement efforts to make it go away. Her lowest point was at Creative Communication & Design, the successful advertising agency she co-owned and the place where she consistently found respite. “I stayed after work and actually had thoughts of ending the pain,� she said. “God must have spoken to me and I realized that I had to carry on for my other children. I had to get my life back.�

The trauma had caused Cindy to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, a severe anxiety condition that's triggered by a terrifying event. It got worse and started to consume her. So her grief counselor suggested Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, which finally brought the hope and healing she had been seeking. "EMDR is not for everyone because the process is rapid and can be intense. Cindy was a good candidate because she will not shy away from the pain and is willing to face it. Many people look to avoid their pain and as a result end up prolonging it and causing them more problems in their life,” said Rick Jass, MA, LPC, president of Charis Counseling, Wausau. “A saying that I use often in therapy is, ‘The way out is through.’ Cindy has embraced that concept and that courage to go through has been instrumental in healing in the midst of tremendous grief and loss.”
Cindy’s Wisdom 10 things that helped motivate me daily
1 2
Cry. I always felt better after a good cry. Tears help the healing process.
Perseverance. I pushed through the hard times even though it seemed easier to give up. Others needed me — even the incomplete me.
3
Gratitude. I counted my blessings. In the beginning, it was hard and I had to search deep inside. Yet, there was always something and I kept growing my list.
4
Pray. I expanded my spirituality and opened up my mind. I wanted to get closer to God.
5 6
Read. Books on grief, spirituality and religion provided answers.
7 8
Reach out. When life hurt too much, I got professional help.
Take up a hobby. Jewelry making, knitting and a photography class forced me to focus on learning something new.
Puppy. When I couldn’t get out of bed, the puppy (or two) was right there waiting to go outside.
9
Pay it forward. I set up a scholarship in Shaun’s name and award it each year to a student pursuing a medical degree at UWMadison.
10 14
Compassion. I opened up my heart to others and reached out to those in pain.

Through counseling, Cindy uncovered that she somehow coped with previous tragedies over the years with minor setbacks, until she lost a child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stuff it anymore and I had to deal with everything else behind the loss,â&#x20AC;? she said. EMDR led by her counselor focused on vividly recounting the winter night that her house burned down in 1979 when she was five months pregnant with her first son and fell on the ice outside, only to end up in the hospital. Then, another house fire in 2003 destroyed the dream home that she and her family had built. In 2009, two years after Shaun died, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. Ironically, it turned out to be a distraction that gave her a break from grieving since beating cancer required complete attention to getting well. After about a year of persevering through difficult therapy sessions, Cindy can finally see glimmers of light at the end of the tunnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Am I a survivor?â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You bet I am.â&#x20AC;? Finding inner peace again has been a long road back, but even while

managing the effects of intense grief, Cindy worked hard to continue raising her family and keeping her career alive. She explored new hobbies and took life-coaching classes in hopes of helping others navigate grief and life transitions. This fall, her agency celebrated 25 years in business in central Wisconsin and has announced plans to expand into the Madison market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about the future opportunities that this will bring to our business,â&#x20AC;? said Cindy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see myself moving forward and it feels good. I also see my son looking down on me saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I knew you would make it, Mom.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
Cindy’s still gaining wisdom from it all such as letting go — stuff lost in a fire can be replaced, and holding on — loved ones can be gone in an instant. She found that family and friend dynamics change in the midst of suffering and some of them are the keys to survival. She also discovered resilience, the sublime quality that allows one to be knocked down and come back up. “People can live through their darkest days if they keep fighting. It takes a while, but eventually you’ll find a piece of peace in your heart.”

For Cindy, achieving great accomplishments and enduring great sorrow are the price she’s paid for loving so deeply and being deeply loved. “Shaun will live in my heart forever,” she said. “I still have children with me, including a beautiful granddaughter, and a husband, and I will never take that for granted. Life is a gift and I’ll keep opening it up.”

In 1987 Francine Shapiro developed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It uses the natural coping mechanisms that occur during sleep, especially during rapid eye movement (REM). EMDR helps your brain make connections in your memory network and assists your brain in processing traumatic events or memories.

Servicing Your High Mileage Vehicles May Save You Money! By: Mike Molitor, Auto Select 715-355-4050
The uncertain economy is causing vehicle owners to review their finances. More and more Wausau area auto owners are opting to keep their vehicles longer and put off purchasing a newer car. It is estimated that two-thirds of the vehicles on the roads of North America today have over 75,000 miles on them. And the average age of vehicles is now over eleven years. That translates to some car care issues that many area men and women haven’t dealt with in the past. Older vehicles simply have different maintenance requirements than newer ones. Learning those requirements presents a challenge for auto owners because many owner manuals only publish maintenance schedules up to 60,000 or 90,000 miles. Vehicle owners have to keep good records and be more involved in planning preventive maintenance if they want to keep their vehicles on the road. First of all, any service in your owner’s manual that comes with a recommended mileage interval should be continued at that interval. For example, if it is recommended that you change your oil every 5,000 miles, you should continue to change your oil every 5,000 miles. The owner of an older vehicle has to recognize that his or her engine is operating under higher stress than a new one. It’s just starting to show its age. So many experts suggest that the “severe service schedule” should be followed once a vehicle has racked up some serious miles. On this schedule, the mileage interval for many services is shortened or should be performed more often. Check with your professional technician. Wausau area drivers who own older vehicles should also be careful not to neglect or postpone oil changes. A full-service oil change is more critical for an older Car or Pickup than for a new one. Older engines have had a lot of time to build up sludge in their oil compartment, so changing the oil at regular intervals is a must. Skipping an oil change compounds the sludge problem. With a fullservice oil change, the vehicle’s fluids are also checked and topped off. At Auto Select, our technicians will also let you know if these fluids need to be replaced. Older Cars or Pickups have older seals and gaskets, which often develop tiny leaks. Regularly checking fluids will compensate for these leaks and offer a heads-up about
any serious ones. So, again, it is important to stay on schedule and not skip fluid checks. Older seals and gaskets begin to dry out and show their age by becoming brittle. High-mileage formulation oils and fluids can help extend the lives of these gaskets and seals. These products contain additives that recondition seals and gaskets and keep them from leaking. High-mileage formulas cost more than standard products, but in the long run they can pay for themselves by preventing more costly repair bills. If a vehicle is getting on in years or mileage, its parts are as well. High-mileage car maintenance requires necessary repairs and replacements. Timing belts, radiator hoses, parts of the suspension system, anti-lock brakes, air bags, water pumps, alternators and batteries will not last forever and will wear out in higher-mileage vehicles. They need to be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. You don’t have to run out to the new car lot just yet. These repairs may sound like a lot, but in total, they may still be cheaper for auto owners than new car payments. And if you stay on top of them and budget for them, they aren’t as burdensome as it may appear. If you plan on driving your vehicle into its high-mileage years, there are two relationships you need to develop. The first is with your auto service center. Our Auto Select technicians and service advisors can offer you invaluable auto advice and help you develop a service plan that is right for you and your vehicle. Second, you need to develop a relationship with your Car or Pickup itself. You don’t need to name it, but you should become familiar with its noises and idiosyncrasies. Pay attention to changes in its habits such as new or unusual sounds, smells, vibrations, etc. Taking note of such things and sharing them with your service advisor can help stave off a lot of big-ticket repair issues. As we get older, keeping up with a diet and exercise plan becomes more and more critical to maintaining good health. It’s the same with our vehicles. A preventive maintenance plan and smart car care will keep them on the road and keep them safe for a good many years to come.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE AFTER
Making a basement not seem like a basement
T’XER ZHON KHA/DAILY HERALD MEDIA
BEFORE
JOY MARQUARDT FOR DAILY HERALD MEDIA
Designer: Sara Haumschild, Inspired by Design, 2317 Oakwood Blvd., Wausau Design problem: Transforming the unfinished basement of a single-family home owned by Marlene and Adam Roberts of Mosinee into added living space for the couples’ parents. The family wanted to create Sara Haumschild a comfortable and homey living space for the grandparents to move in and assist with the care of their two children.
PHOTO COURTESY SARA HAUMSCHILD
Design solution: Haumschild divided the basement into four separate rooms including a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom with a walk-in closet. To create a more open and airy feel to the space, Haumschild added egress windows to the kitchen and bedroom. “It’s the windows that make it feel more homey,” she said. “Basements are usually dark, and now there’s natural light.”
“It was an unfinished basement they wanted to convert into something their parents could live in,” Haumschild said. “They all wanted to live under the same roof and were trying to figure out a way to make it work so they could each have their own space.”
Working around obstacles such as pipes and poles, Haumschild placed a long wall down the center of the basement strategically hiding the ceilings support poles.
The grandparents Gary and Cindy Roberts downsized from a full size house to an approximately 1,500 square foot basement space.
“Fortunately, most of the poles were in the center of the house,” she said. “They are all hidden in the walls.”
“It was fun to try and fit a whole house into a basement,” Haumschild said. “When it was finished, they didn’t want it to feel like a basement — they wanted to make it feel like a house.”
For a clean look, Haumschild covered the walls and ceiling with textured drywall and added an extra sound barrier to the ceiling to keep out upstairs noise.

“Putting a sound barrier in the ceiling is just an extra way to make them feel like they aren’t in an apartment,” she said. Because of the low ceiling, Haumschild installed recessed can lights in each room. To keep things light and neutral, the walls are painted a creamy tan with a hint of yellow. Accents and accessories add a pop of color. The

and Haumschild suggests a good way to experiment with the trend is to try it out in a small area such as a powder room.
AFTER
One of the main highlights of the living quarters is the spacious kitchen with an island that seats four. The island is done in a wood grain with a medium stain. The Shaker Style kitchen cabinets are painted white and accented with oil rubbed bronze hardware.
“People are sometimes afraid to try wallpaper,” Haumschild said. “Powder rooms are small and people don’t think about them, but a great way to make a powder room pop is to do a wall covering. It adds something fun and unique.”
BEFORE
The bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, is attached to the bedroom and has two doorways for easy access.
Wall coverings can be made of paper or vinyl and are available in thousands of colors and patterns or can be hand painted to customize the look you want, Haumschild said.
“It feels like you are in a regular house,” Haumschild said. “I would say the style is transitional. I tried to stay more transitional but contemporary.”
“There’s an endless amount of colors and textures,” she said. “You can get something geometric, abstract, linear, classic or tailored or even a suede or mohair look. It all depends on what you want.”

Working out while at work Contrary to what you might think, you can sneak in quick easy exercises at the office. In today’s demanding corporate world, you may find it difficult to fit in physical activity due to long hours, challenging work shifts and strict break schedules. Although you might be dressed for success in business Cheryl attire, consider bringing a pair of walking shoes to Jaworski work with you. Stairwells easily transform into your own personal stair stepper and long hallways present the opportunity to perform walking lunges. I know what you’re thinking — you don’t want to smell like a skunk or look like a wet rat when you return to work. Relax! These quick-burst exercises are not to replace your comprehensive workout routine at the gym — think of it as extra credit. Worried about what your colleagues will think when you are stepping outside the box? Remind them that exercise not only improves the waistline, but also can boost the immune system and mental alertness, a couple features your boss won’t mind at all. If it makes you feel better, bring a sweat towel and body spray to freshen up after. While athletic shoes will be helpful, include this simple inexpensive fitness equipment for variety: a large body ball, resistant bands or free weights, and even a yoga mat.
Body Ball: Useful for core strengthening by simply replacing your desk chair with one also great for performing off-the-floor sit-ups. Strengthen your legs by leaning against the ball on a wall. Squat down positioning your knees at a 90 degree angle, come up and repeat. Resistance Band: These are useful for toning and improving strength in multiple muscle groups. These powerfully yet inconspicuous exercise tools will easily fit into a desk drawer. Take them out for quick sets of 20 repetitions. A set of free weights, arguably, can be used for a large majority of exercise that resistance bands allow; however, having a set of 5, 8 or even 10 pound dumbbells allows for additional exercise; such as weighted walking lunges. Depending on your office arrangement, a dark quiet conference room can convert to a yoga studio. Use a portable electronic device to stream a short yoga routine with soft relaxing background music. Walking clubs offer fresh air and great camaraderie, but the question is how to remain active in inclement weather. Keep the group moving by suggesting an indoor Zumba or step aerobics class. Step stools (used for your step aerobics class) can be purchased in most houseware departments. With use of a docking station or CD player, quick fat burning aerobic classes can add extra calorie burn to your weekly goals.

NUTRITION
Eating to beat depression SAMANTHA BULGRIN FOR DAILY HERALD MEDIA
As the seasons change, so can our mood. No longer can we go outside in shorts and a t-shirt and soak up summer’s pleasant rays. The clothes hanging in your closet probably have changed with the weather, but has the food in your cupboard changed as well? It can be easy to fall into bad eating habits as the cold weather blues set in. Below are a few things to keep in mind as you eat your way through the chilly (and sometimes depressing) months ahead, and for those who deal with larger issues with depression.
Nutrition CAN impact mood! There is no specific diet to cure depression, however what you eat can have a definite impact on how you feel. There are some nutrients that have been studied in conjunction with their impacts on depression. Two of those nutrients are magnesium and omega 3 fatty acids. Magnesium — Magnesium is thought to influence several systems associated with the development of depression. You probably don’t need a magnesium supplement, but eating foods rich in this nutrient
can help: dark green vegetables, some fruits, legumes, cereals, fish, nuts and seeds. Omega 3 Fatty Acids — There have been some studies showing that omega 3’s may be beneficial when it comes to treating mild-moderate depression. They cannot be a replacement treatment for depression, but they could be helpful in addition to a prescribed medication from your doctor. Aside from that, omega 3’s are extremely heart healthy, so there is no reason not to include them in your diet anyways. Good sources are: salmon, herring, tuna, trout, flaxseed, and fortified foods such as eggs and margarine.
Comfort Foods When you’re feeling down, it’s easy to fall back on comfort foods such as pasta and bread, fried foods, ice cream, cookies, and other sweets. These foods don’t need to be off limits by any means, but the reason they are called “comfort food” is because they usually only make you feel better for a short time, which really isn’t ideal. The food you eat should be satisfying for the long haul (until your next meal). Nutritionally speaking, comfort foods don’t usually stick with us very long, hence the need to eat more, or eat again before we really should be. You also need to consider your own personal health history when it

comes to making food choices. If you are lactose intolerant for example, eating ice cream for short term comfort is probably going to cause major gastrointestinal discomfort later, which would not be good for your mood. If you have diabetes for example, eating a huge plate of pasta is going to cause a spike in blood sugar, which also is not ideal for your mood.
Sort Out What’s Really Going On If you know what you are dealing with is a mild case of the winter blues, take a minute to think about what your daily intakes are. Are you eating too many of those comfort foods? Are you choosing fast food more often because it’s already dark when you leave work and you just don’t feel like cooking? Are you skipping fruits and veggies because less of your favorites are in season? These things are reasonably easy to fix. It might take a little effort, but re-adjusting how you plan meals and snacks can have a significantly better impact on your mood and how you feel. On the other hand, if you feel like what you are experiencing goes beyond mild seasonal depression, you need to seek guidance from your doctor. In this case, it will likely take a combination of physician guided treatment, along with dietary modification, in order for you to feel like your best self.
The Take-Home Message Remember, the better you eat, the better you can feel. Be good to yourself. Choose lean meats, low fat dairy, high fiber, and lots of fruits and veggies. Your eating choices absolutely can influence how you feel, not only when it comes to battling the winter blues, but also when it comes to your self-confidence. Be assured in knowing that the good eating choices you are making for yourself ARE important, and that your health and happiness is always worth the effort.

little known facts about Birds in Art
MELANIE LAWDER DAILY HERALD MEDIA
WAUSAU — Every year for the past four decades, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum has put on its flagship Birds in Art exhibit. The renowned exhibit typically features around 115 new artworks that depict birds or suggest the essence of bird. Coupled with Artrageous Weekend and the many years the exhibit already has under its belt, Birds in Art has grown to be a staple in the Wausau social scene. So in honor of its long history in the Wausau community, here’s a few facts you may have not known about the exhibit, which turns the big 4-0 this year:
1
In this 2009 file ph FILE/DAILY HERA oto, museum-goe LD MEDIA rs view the Birds exhibit at Leigh Yawkey Woodson In Art Art Museum.
More than a thousand artists from all over the world have participated since the exhibition’s inception.
Birds in Art is as old as the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum itself so it’s not so surprising that the exhibit has featured works from more than 1,000 artists during its 40-year history. When the exhibit began in 1976, it typically featured around 90 artworks, but since then has grown to an average of 100 to 115 artworks. And the exhibit’s reach isn’t confined to just American borders; over the past 40 years, roughly 230 international artists have had work displayed in the exhibit, said Amy Beck, the museum’s marketing manager.
2
Of the thousand artists, two have had work appear in every Birds in Art exhibit.
For the past four decades, artists Guy Coheleach and Maynard Reece have had at least one thing in common: their work has been featured in Birds in Art every year since the exhibit began. Both Coheleach, who is in his early 80s, and Reece, 95, have been honored by the museum as master painters, meaning that their work does not have to go through the jury process to be accepted in the exhibit. You can see their works — both are oil paintings — this year.
3
One of the artists in this year’s exhibit had a VERY interesting day job.
When he wasn’t creating sculptures, one of the Birds in Art artists, Dr. Burt Brent, was surgically recreating new ears for patients affected by microtia, a medical condition in which a patient’s ear is underdeveloped. Brent — who is considered a trailblazer in the world of ear plastic surgery and possesses his own Wikipedia page to boot — has had his artwork appear intermittently 16 times in Birds in Art since 1989. You can see his work, called “The Barnyard Brigade,” which is a bronze sculpture of domestic chickens, at Birds in Art this year.

most selective school. A total of 607 artists sought to get their art displayed in this year’s exhibit, but only 102 artists — not including the 21 master artists whose art automatically is selected— had work that was chosen. This means that the Birds in Art exhibit has an acceptance rate of 16.8 percent. Comparatively, UW-Madison’s acceptance rate hovers at around 50 percent every year.
5
The works displayed in Birds in Art aren’t just paintings and sculptures. Feathers are a preferred medium too.
From watercolor to colored pencil to bronze sculptures, many mediums are represented at the Birds in Art exhibit. This year, on display at Birds in Art will be the image of a black-capped chickadee intricately carved onto a single pheasant feather. The artwork, called “Eat,” was created by Chris Maynard and will be on display. The 40th annual Birds in Art exhibit runs until Nov. 29. You can find the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum at 700 N. 12th St., Wausau or online at lywam.org.
It’s MUCH harder to get into BIA than into Wisconsin’s top school.
That’s right: it’s harder to your work into Birds in Art than it is to be offered admission to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the state’s

ART INSIGHT:
LOOK AT ME JANE WEINKE FOR DAILY HERALD MEDIA
Most people would be awestruck at the sight of an approaching eight-foot, 200-pound bird. Add to the equation speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour and you have an “ostrich” experience. Bart Walter conveys the pure essence of his subject in Ostrich. From varying angles the viewer is made keenly aware of the artist’s intimate knowledge of ostriches, gained from long hours spent studying his subject — in this instance, ostriches in the wild of Kenya. Walter sketches his impressions in charcoal and pencil, detailing every nuance of movement, each subtle or distinctive contour variance, and all prominent features from numerous perspectives. This familiarity allows him to transform two-dimensional drawings into three dimensions. Ostrich has attitude. From its powerful one-footed stance to its ungainly torso and the alert tilt of its head, this bird is anything but ordinary. The bulky bronze body stems from the layers of clay used by Walter in the initial modeling. Though lacking in detail, the feathers and body structure can only be that of an ostrich. The extended graceful neck accentuates its small head, and its long legs are powerfully built to keep this flightless bird safe from predators. These aspects of the bird’s character and physique are rendered in greater detail, perhaps to stress the importance of each to the bird’s survival and its very nature. Although forever rooted in its idyllic garden setting, this wild beauty springs forward to greet visitors to the Margaret Woodson Fisher Sculpture Garden. Jane Weinke is the curator of collections for the Woodson Art Museum in Wausau.
