One of the Badgers fans sitting in or outside the very quiet Stadium Tavern in Indianapolis after the Badgers’ loss to Duke last night was former Madison resident Brian Gordon. Gordon now lives in Chicago. He said the loss to Duke was miserable, but he still has faith in Coach Bo Ryan. “Bo will have to do another great job. He did a fantastic job this year — hopefully he can pick them up for next year,â€? said Gordon. Ryan will lose several key seniors from this year’s team, including Associated Press Player of the Year Frank Kaminsky, and could even lose star junior forward Sam Dekker to the pros. Ryan told the news media that he doesn’t rent players — in other words, offer scholarships to high school stars who may quit college after just a year or two.

ST. CROIX FALLS - Festival Theatre is excited to bring to the stage Jay Ungar and Molly Mason on Thursday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. Ungar and Mason are musicians of enormous talent. Their love for music is infectious, and their expertise is superlative. With violin, mandolin, guitar, banjo and piano - not to mention their beautiful vocals - the two delight audiences wherever they go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jay and Molly make music that is simple and overwhelming ... joyful and full of feeling ... an apotheosis of American traditional music,â&#x20AC;? said Garrison Keillor, host and creator of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Prairie Home Companion.â&#x20AC;? In the late 1970s, the duo was performing at the Towne Crier, a rural New York club. They hit it off musically and played together from time to time until Mason headed to Minnesota to work in the house band of a new radio show: Keillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Prairie Home Companion.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, back in New York, Ungar put together a band with fellow fiddlers Evan Stover and Matt Glaser -D\ 8QJDU DQG 0ROO\ 0DVRQ and guitarist Russ Barenberg.

When Fiddle Fever, as the collaboration was called, needed a bassist, Mason signed on.

The group recorded two classic LPs, now available on CD as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Best of Fiddle Feverâ&#x20AC;? (Flying Fish Records). Ungar is from the Bronx. Mason grew up in Washington state. He was raised on pop music of the 1940s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. She had a IRQGQHVV IRU WUDGLWLRQDO Ă&#x20AC;GGOH PXVLF DQG V DQG ¡ V popular tunes. He hung out in Greenwich Village coffeehouses and roamed North Carolina and Tennessee in search of traditional players. She played clubs and colleges on the West Coast and took a liking to the jazzy sound of the swing era. They joined forces - both artistically and romantically.

The two were married in 1991. They have become one of the most celebrated duos on the American acoustic music scene. On radio and television, they have appeared on â&#x20AC;&#x153;CBS Good Morning,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rosie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell Show,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Things Considered,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Prairie Home Companionâ&#x20AC;? and the BBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transatlantic Sessions.â&#x20AC;? They continue to broadcast their own live-performance radio show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing on the Air,â&#x20AC;? and they have no shortage of future projects. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss your chance to see this acoustic duo live at Festival Theatre.

Milberg bound over on three girls deaths

Details clarified on social media messages and crash Greg Marsten | Staff writer

ELLSWORTH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pierce County Judge Joseph D. Boles weighed the testimony and evidence presented by three county investigators before he moved the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case ahead to trial against Kari Jo Milberg, 34, Centuria, binding her over for trial on three felony charges of homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle, with an additional charge of misdemeanor reckless driving - causing bodily harm.

Milberg is facing the charges for a deadly Dec. 12, 2013, car crash that claimed the lives of three young girls, including Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own 11-year-old daughter, Lydia. Two of Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-yearold nieces also died from injuries suffered in the crash, Laynie Jo Amos and Clara Pavek.

After an hour-long preliminary hearing on Wednesday, April 1, Pierce County District Attorney Sean Froelich cited testimony and evidence from cell phone and social media records for the judge to weigh, trying to show they had enough evidence to move the case against Milberg ahead to trial.

Milberg was driving at normal highway speeds of between 57-60 mph southbound in her 2005 Saturn VUE southbound on Hwy. 35, just north of 468th Avenue, in the Town of Oak Grove, south of Prescott in Pierce County that afternoon. The road was wet when Milberg apparently veered off the road slightly with her right front tire, leading her to overcorrect, sending WKH 6DWXUQ Ă&#x20AC;VKWDLOLQJ LQWR DQ RYHUVWHHU situation, essentially swapping ends DQG FURVVLQJ RYHU LQWR RQFRPLQJ WUDIĂ&#x20AC;F where they were struck by a northbound 2011 straight truck.

Milberg had her head in her hands and was sobbing as Pierce County District Attorney Sean Froelich asked investigator Doug Ducklow how each of the three young ladies perished. He pointed to the VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F LQMXULHV QRWHG E\ WKH PHGLFDO H[aminer reports, acknowledging how each child died, and where they were sitting.

Her 3-year-old son, Easton, also survived the crash.

Parents of the victims also sobbed as Froelich and Ducklow recalled details of the crash scene, including how Laynie had survived until two days after the crash before dying of a closed head injury. Sobbing was also heard from the gallery as Ducklow detailed the injuries that claimed the other two victims, either on the scene or at the hospital a short time later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She (Milberg) indicated she did not remember anything from the crash,â&#x20AC;? Ducklow said.

While early reports and the criminal complaint had pointed to several possible contributing factors for the tragic crash, from supposedly over-worn tires and possible narcotic levels in Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood, Froelich only asked about details behind one factor that the three investiJDWRUV KDG LQYHVWLJDWHG VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;FDOO\ WLPH stamps on Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone, allegedly showing that she may have been sending instant messages to an unnamed person on the social media site, Facebook.

Investigators pointed to evidence of time stamps on Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iPhone, discovHUHG QHDU WKH VFHQH RYHU Ă&#x20AC;YH PRQWKV DIWHU the crash by former sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigator Aaron Hanson, who obtained a search warrant for the iPhone, which still had the charger attached, but had a burned out backlight.

Hanson detailed the process by which he was able to eventually obtain a printout by Facebook showing the texts of conversations between someone using Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone and another person, for a period of time between 3:05 and 3:39 p.m., which was just two minutes prior to the crash being called in to 911 from the scene by a witness in the car behind Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saturn.

Hanson said the content of the conversation was â&#x20AC;&#x153;back and forth,â&#x20AC;? and FRQĂ&#x20AC;UPHG WKDW WKH ODVW PHVVDJH VHQW WR Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone was opened at 3:39:37, although it was unclear if it was actually seen buy her or was just received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They seemed to be setting up some kind of meeting for lunch,â&#x20AC;? Hanson said.

However, Hanson later claimed to have seen a â&#x20AC;&#x153;ghost imageâ&#x20AC;? of an apparent chat message Milberg may have typed at the time of the crash, which Froelich implied possibly contributed to the crash. He said when he charged the phone, he opened the Facebook application, and in spite of the broken backlight, he was able to EULHĂ \ VHH D ´JKRVW LPDJHÂľ RI D PHVVDJH in queue but unsent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was between two and four words,â&#x20AC;?

Hanson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in the process of typing.â&#x20AC;?

In the cross-examination by Nelson, he tried to raise doubts about the accuracy and identical nature of the time stamps, raising questions about when the actual Pierce County Dispatch Center time stamps correlates with the various cell phones recovered on the scene, and whether they all use the same atomic clock accuracy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Was that GNT (Greenwich Mean Time)? Is that the same between an Apple phone, or Sprint or T-Mobile (carrier) time?â&#x20AC;? Nelson asked.

Hanson was unclear on the cellular network time stamps, but said Facebook uses GMT and then subtracts a number RI KRXUV GHSHQGLQJ RQ WKH VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F WLPH zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They time stamp their own activity data,â&#x20AC;? Hanson said.

Nelson continued to press Hanson on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ghost image,â&#x20AC;? as well as whether the various parties all time stamps were the same, he also quizzed the investigators on whether they reviewed the time stamps and even the cellular reception of other phones on the scene, including the one used to call 911. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time zero is going to be very relevant,â&#x20AC;? Nelson said.

Nelson also pressed Hanson on the validity of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ghost image,â&#x20AC;? after he noted that the supposed pending message was only visible for a moment before it closed, and that it was not saved or part of the Facebook data logs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a visual observation, but no recording?â&#x20AC;? Nelson pressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was something in the subject line that had not been sent,â&#x20AC;? Hanson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was two to four words typed, but not VHQW $QG WKHQ VQDS¡V Ă&#x20AC;QJHUV LW ZDV gone, before I even realized what I was seeing.â&#x20AC;?

After much back and forth, it was clariĂ&#x20AC;HG WKDW WKH 3&6' UHFHLYHG WKHLU call at 3:41:05 p.m., and that the Milberg phone had sent its last message at 3:39:04, although Nelson did not accept that the times were relevant, because of possible discrepancies in the time stamps and synchronization of the devices and systems.

Nelson also had Ducklow verify that while Milbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood tests showed that she had â&#x20AC;&#x153;therapeutic levels â&#x20AC;&#x153; of prescribed oxycodone in her blood, she also had a sedative known as Midazolam in her system, which is commonly used in preoperative surgery preparation, essentially raising doubts about whether the blood test was relevant at all, because it included drug levels from post-crash surgery and treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not saying that (drug content in her blood) contributed to the accident, are you?â&#x20AC;?

Bradley returns to Supreme Court  Incumbent justice downs challenger Daley Greg Marsten | Staff writer MADISON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Voters have returned incumbent Justice Ann Walsh Bradley to the Wisconsin Supreme Court for another decade, sending her back by an overwhelming margin and keeping the status quo in the oftendivided body of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest jurists.

Bradley has won twice prior, going back to 1995, and this time defeated chal- -XVWLFH $QQ %UDGOH\ lenger James Daley, a Rock County judge, by a wide margin, more than 58 to 42 percent.

Bradley also dominated the local vote, garnering 523 votes, just over 53 percent, of the Polk County vote, compared to Daleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 458 votes.

While technically nonpartisan, the race became a sort of left-versus-right marker, with Daley aligning solidly with conservative groups in their criticism of Bradley and liberal wing of the court, but he ran no television ads. Daley drew repeated Ă&#x20AC;UH IURP %UDGOH\ IRU ´EODWDQW SDUWLVDQshipâ&#x20AC;? although she had a much larger campaign coffer to counter Daleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts.

Bradley returns as part of a liberal minority on a highly divided high court, and she became noteworthy as being involved in one of the most bizarre, but arguably disputed, incidents during a stretch of controversial disagreements on what many called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dysfunctionalâ&#x20AC;? supreme court.

In June 2011 Bradley was involved in a heated, reportedly violent, confrontation with fellow justice David Prosser Jr. that involved a choking incident, of some sort.

The incident led to an ethics investigation and special prosecutor investigation but no formal charges against Prosser, in part due to justices recusing themselves from any disciplinary action, although he disputed Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims.

Overall local voter turnout at 20 percent Gary King |Leader editor BURNETT/POLK COUNTIES - It was a steady voter turnout Tuesday, April 7, for the spring election, despite a lack of contested races in some areas.

However it turns out in the Town of Osceola, the ballot question stumbled in the Village of Dresser, which has one of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two elementary schools, 8195. It also failed outright in the towns of Eureka, 72-114; St. Croix Falls, 49-69; Laketown, 3-16, and also failed in the Town of Sterling, 14-32.

Siren school referendum fails; three new board members elected Jean Koelz|Staff writer SIRENâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;According to unofficial results posted on the Burnett County government website late Tuesday, April 7, Siren Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to exceed revenue limits did not get enough voter support.

The referendum sought to increase local property taxes by up to $300,000 annually for the next four years for the purpose of maintaining the current operating budget. With a voter turnout that averaged around 22 percent across the district, the funding referendum failed 256-361.

Earlier in the week, Wisconsin Public Radio had announced that the Government Accountability Board predicted a state voter turnout of about 20 percent, but hinted that local school referendums would drive participation up further. Accordingly, the voting districts closest to the school saw the highest turnout rates, with voter participation in the Town of Daniels and the Town of Siren exceeding 30 percent.

Sirenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school board election has been interesting this year, with nine candidates initially vying for three seats. Of the six candidates that emerged from the primary, one has since withdrawn her bid and encouraged voters via advertisements to support other candidates instead. Top vote-getters were Siren alumnus and nurse Susie Imme, a parent of current Siren students, banker Georgia Cederberg and former Siren teacher James Kopecky.

Incumbents Jeff Howe and Dayton Daniels were eliminated in the primary, and incumbent Dave McGrane did not receive enough votes to retain his seat. Therefore, all three elected candidates will be newcomers to the board.

The new board members will face immediate challenges, as district Administrator Scott Johnson had claimed that the referendum was necessary in order to avoid making budget cuts or driving down the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fund balance. Without the additional funding, the Siren School Board has some difficult decisions to make.

The role of the county board members

Polk County supervisors have different views

Polk County Board members Schmidt hands-off board involved in goals and and Johansen were expressing two dif- planning.

Nelson after one year of operating with a reduced also said that committee minutes now re-

port actions and not what is happening.

John Bonneprise expressed the other view when he said the supervisors should not micromanage the department operations. Johansen said that the board members donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to have department heads to be present just to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are going good.â&#x20AC;? And Josh Hallberg said the supervisors need to look at the county from the 10,000-foot level, not the 100-foot level, and concentrate on policy.

He said that the role of the county board with a county administrator form of government is to set the county policy, the direction that the administrator should follow. Biltonen said policy making is the what and

why, the ends. Administration is the how, when and where, the means.

County Administrator Dana Frey pointed out that each department head now presents a monthly written report that is available to all supervisors and to the public. Those reports are distributed, along with committee agendas, before the committee meetings so that supervisors can request more information at the start of the meetings. He added that all department heads are on standby to attend the meetings if requested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we have got to the 15-member board yet,â&#x20AC;? Larry Jepsen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully understand our job yet.

We have not learned our new role yet. We need to be visionaries.â&#x20AC;?

The board directed the general government committee to review and develop recommendation concerning the standing committee structure.

The workings of the Polk County committees Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Polk County now has four county board governing committees, each with oversight of a number of county departments. The committees are scheduled to meet monthly. So far in 2015 the meetings of the committees have var-

ied widely, ranging from two meetings for one committee to seven for another.

Here is an overview.

The public safety and highway committee has met twice in 2015 through March for a total of 2-1/2 hours. The committee oversees seven departments.

The general government committee has met three times for a total of six hours. It oversees seven departments.

The health and human services committee has also met three times for a total of 8-1/2 hours. It oversees four departments.

Lastly, the conservation committee, ofĂ&#x20AC;FLDOO\ WKH &RQVHUYDWLRQ 'HYHORSPHQW Recreation and Education Committee, or CDRE, has held seven meetings in three months for a total of 24-1/2 hours. It overVHHV Ă&#x20AC;YH GHSDUWPHQWV DQG LV LQYROYHG LQ revising the county land use ordinance.

1RW MXVW DERXW KRQH\ It is not just about honey. One of every three bites of food we eat is pollinated. It is an $18 billion a year industry. I am talking about honeybees. They are dying at an alarming rate. It is a global problem.

There are less than 1,000 U.S. commercial beekeepers to pollinate the food we eat. They are losing over 30 percent of their hives nationwide per year. The losses are greater in western Wisconsin, for example the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28th Senate District. What business can sustain a 30-percent or greater loss each year and stay in business?

European countries have banned the use of neonicotinoids and the bee population has rebounded. Widespread use of neonics in the U.S. came into play around 2005. Neonics are a systemic poison that is applied to seeds.

The EPA allows widespread use based on data supplied by the manufacturers of the pesticide. The EPA uses a â&#x20AC;&#x153;managed riskâ&#x20AC;? philosophy and is slow in banning the use of these pesticides.

Now, the reason for my writing a letter to the editor. I have written my legislators in an effort to avoid a catastrophe. Minnesota, New York and other states have already started to address the problem. I received immediate replies to my letter from Sen. Baldwin and Rep. Jarchow, expressing their concern.

I am still waiting for a reply from Rep. Duffy even though I called his RIĂ&#x20AC;FH WR IROORZ XS RQ P\ OHWWHU 6HQ Sheila Harsdorf has decided that she is not willing to work on the problem and has chosen to pass the buck.

Child sexual abuse prevention must be a priority to confront the reality that one in six boys and one in four girls will experience a sexual assault before the age of 18 (Dube et al., 2005).

Young people experience heightened rates of sexual violence, and youth ages 12-17 were 2.5 times as likely to be victims of rape or sexual assault (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006).

And that big rush on the emergency room when all those poor folks got insurance? Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.

And the big drop in employer-sponsored health insurance, as warned by the business-orientated McKinsey Center back in 2011? Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. Seventy-one percent of workers had insurance through their work in 2013, and it remains 71 percent now.

And the predicted disastrous increase in health insurance rates? The McKinsey Center reported in December that 65 percent of plans increased rates for 2015, and that the median increase is only 4 percent.

Read about it online in Forbes. Wisconsin has had its well-known problems with lack of ACA plan offerings and high charges, but ACA is doing much better in other states.

So, despite what Fox News loudly repeats, despite what everyone knows, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working.

Prison

E

arly in his political career, Scott Walker championed a tough approach to crime including minimum mandatory prison terms.

It was part of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough-on-crimeâ&#x20AC;? philosophy that swept through the United States in the 1990s. The approach especially targeted drug crimes. Tough criminal sentences were sold to the public as a way to discourage potential drug dealers and users.

Two things seem certain. Drug-related crimes have not been eliminated and the use of heroin has dramatically increased among white young people. Reports of VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQW GUXJ XVH KDYH VXUIDFHG LQ western Wisconsin.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;lock-â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em-upâ&#x20AC;? answer also is very, very expensive. It costs the state about $32,000 per year to incarcerate a felon, and prison populations have increased by 9 percent since 2000. The minimum mandatory sentences were labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;truth in sentencing.â&#x20AC;? Wisconsin has one of the highest percentages of black male populations in prison.

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison budget last year was $1.17 billion, according to the Wisconsin

6WDWH &DSLWRO 1HZVOHWWHU 0DWW 3RPPHU Taxpayers Alliance. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big number LQ D VWDWH IDFLQJ GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW EXGJHW FKRLFHV In January, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue estimates were reduced by nearly $500 million.

Legislators are expected to get new revenue numbers early next month.

Several weeks ago, one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief tax critics came to Madison to urge leaders to take another look at the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to crime and punishment.

Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, an organization that opposes all tax increases, said Texas has made changes in its policies, and more importantly, voters have not punished politicians there for making reforms that reduced incarceration totals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sense that it is some kind of

weakening or becoming soft on crime (is) not what it is,â&#x20AC;? Norquist said.

Truth-in-sentencing and minimum mandatory sentences have caused the soaring prison populations and costs, he said bluntly. He blamed legislators for passing those kinds of laws to get favorable editorials and public support. The new laws created a prison boom, and :LVFRQVLQ ZDV UHQWLQJ VSDFH LQ IRU SURĂ&#x20AC;W facilities outside of Wisconsin.

Correctional facilities have been built in various parts of the state, often making the prisons the biggest employer in many of the small towns. Their payrolls often are based on the number of inmates there.

Norquist urged a review of how paroles are determined and how parole revocations are implemented. Earning a high school diploma or learning to read could factor into those decisions. They may be as important as just using good behavior to make decisions, he indicated.

Reporters remembered Walker as a member of the Wisconsin Assembly and his role as a legislative leader in the 1990s when the state enacted the truth-

Walker has declined to issue any parGRQV GXULQJ KLV Ă&#x20AC;YH \HDUV DV JRYHUQRU RI Wisconsin. He says that pardons could undermine the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judicial system.

It is a safe political position. Victims of crime often are absolutely opposed to easing the penalties on the felons who have affected them.

Some might suggest that Walker will change his position on crime as he runs for president of the United States. He already has shifted his views on immigration, standards for measuring elementary and secondary school success, and ethanol fuel requirements.

Then there is the apparent budget crunch facing state government. Walker wants to cut $300 million from the support of the University of Wisconsin System and $127 million from the state aid to public schools.

Government is always a matter of priorities. Norquistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments could add another aspect to the public debate.

estifying at a recent informational hearing on legislative plans to UHYDPS WKH VWDWH¡V FDPSDLJQ Ă&#x20AC;QDQFH law, Jay Heck of Common Cause in Wisconsin made a keen observation. Two diametrically opposed camps, he noted, both see this as an opportunity.

On one side are advocacy groups like Common Cause, which Heck said long â&#x20AC;&#x153;to strengthen our once effective and ZLGHO\ DGPLUHG FDPSDLJQ Ă&#x20AC;QDQFH ODZV and return Wisconsin elections and state government to the citizens.â&#x20AC;? On the other side, he said, are those who â&#x20AC;&#x153;view this as an opportunity to deregulate and dismantle all limitations on money in our elections.â&#x20AC;?

As the process wends its way from informational hearing to bill to law, which side is more likely to see its dream come true? Heck laughs before making what is for him a painful response: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much question about where the majority in the Legislature is likely to go.â&#x20AC;? He expects more spending and less transparency.

Chapter 11 of the state statutes, govHUQLQJ FDPSDLJQ Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLQJ FOHDUO\ QHHGV a rewrite. Court rulings have blown huge holes in the law, which dates to 1974. One lawyer called the result â&#x20AC;&#x153;a confusing mess.â&#x20AC;?

But as the March 24 hearing testimony before a joint legislative committee showed, there is vast disagreement over what changes should be made. Here are some contested areas: Campaign spending limits: Common Cause and Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, represented at the hearing by Matt Rothschild, argued that the $10,000 upper limit on individual donations to

0RQH\ 3ROLWLFV %LOO /XHGHUV FDQGLGDWHV IRU VWDWHZLGH RIĂ&#x20AC;FH OLNH JRYernor and attorney general, is already too high. They want the current limits of $1,000 and $500 for state Senate and Assembly races, respectively, to stay about the same.

In fact, these limits are likely to rise.

Kevin Kennedy, director of the state Government Accountability Board, noted that they have not changed in 40 years. A bill introduced last session, as amended with bipartisan support, would have doubled the limits; it passed the Assembly on a voice vote but stalled in the Senate.

Regulation of issue ads: Rothschild and Heck urged full disclosure for all electioneering communications within 60 days of an election. They noted that the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 2010 ruling WKDW RSHQHG WKH Ă RRGJDWHV RQ VSHQGLQJ by outside groups, pointedly rejected the idea that disclosure rules can apply only to communications that expressly tell people how to vote.

On the other side, Wisconsin Right to Life proposed bill language that would enshrine the express advocacy standard into law, exempting those who run socalled issue ads from having to report.

The bill that passed the Assembly last session would have done the same.

Coordination restrictions: A central

issue in the stalled John Doe II probe involving Gov. Scott Walker is whether it is legal for campaigns to coordinate with outside groups that do not engage in express advocacy. The Legislature could change the law to explicitly allow this. Heck warned that doing so would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge and tragic mistake.â&#x20AC;? He said it would â&#x20AC;&#x153;effectively eviscerateâ&#x20AC;? contribution limits because campaigns could coordinate with those who gave unlimited sums.

Dresser starts boundary agreement with neighboring Town of Osceola Process may limit annexation possibilities during negotiations

Greg Marsten | Staff writer DRESSER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Dresser Village Board unanimously approved a resolution starting the process of a so-called boundary agreement with the neighboring Town of Osceola, which may have several effects down the line, including regarding the proposed Blue Rock Quarry.

The Dresser board took to the action at the regular meeting on Monday, April 6, and did it before a full house, many of whom were Town of Osceola residents.

The action mirrors similar action by the town, and means the two municipalities will start the negotiatory process of creating a template of a working agreement on issues ranging from zoning to parks, roads and even sidewalk development, all in concert with each bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comprehensive plans.

The primary effect for now likely means that any possible annexation issues are basically put on hold during the process, which may take as long as 548 days, but is hoped to be completed within one year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of advantages to a cooperative boundary agreement,â&#x20AC;? stated Town of Osceola Chair Doug Schmidt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen overnight.â&#x20AC;?

Schmidt said he hoped with an agreement in place, issues like annexation would be less divisive and costly for both municipalities, as they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pitted against one another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(With an agreement) the two boards could sit down and talk as civilized human beings,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt added.

Dresser Village President Bryan Beseler insisted the agreement was not driven by the proposed Blue Rock Quarry annexation issue, where a proposed traprock quarry has been noted as possibly wanting to utilize Dresserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more favorable zoning regarding a quarry, as they have an existing, long-established quarry already in place.

The Blue Rock Quarry has been a divisive, emotional and complicated issue for Town of Osceola residents who live near the proposed quarry, just outside village limits.

Beseler said the boundary agreement is

Beseler acknowledged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it (the boundary agreement negotiation) isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because of that. It may or may not be impacted by a boundary agreement.â&#x20AC;?

Any agreement must be approved by the Wisconsin Department of Administration and is meant to address multiple DUHDV RI FRQWHQWLRQ RU SRWHQWLDO FRQĂ LFW over the next decade or more.

The negotiations will include two members of each municipality, and the Town of Osceola Board approved appointing town Supervisor Mike Wallis and former Dresser Trustee Neil Gustafson to the joint commission. Gustafson is a former Dresser trustee who moved out of the village into the town last year.

Dresser did not appoint any members to the commission as of yet, but Beseler said he would review options and have potential appointees by the next board meeting in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annexation is contentious,â&#x20AC;? Beseler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(With a boundary agreement) we can hash things out on the front side, and that helps me sleep at night.â&#x20AC;?

The Dresser board waived their standard requirement of two readings and moved the resolution forward by a unanimous vote, allowing them to pursue the negotiations once they appoint two members to the joint commission.

Beseler said that Wisconsin law states that annexation requests are not accepted during boundary agreement development, but village attorney Tim Laux was unclear if that was the case quite yet, as the village had only agreed to enter into the process, but had not yet established said committee, as no members have yet to be appointed.

Ultimately, any agreement must be approved by each bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan commissions and full boards before it goes to the :LVFRQVLQ '2$ IRU UHYLHZ DQG Ă&#x20AC;QDO DS-

Centuria family home dedication set $ULDQQD 6FKXOW] _ Special to the Leader CENTURIA - Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity will be celebrating the construction of its 43rd home during the Martin family dedication ceremony in Centuria, on Saturday, April 11. Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity and the Martin family would like to invite the public to join them on this joyous occasion at 11 a.m. at 812 Centurion Ave. in Centuria.

Soon-to-be-homeowners Matthew and Kaylah Martin have had many struggles, but now they are ready to put the past behind them and start a new life. The Martins met when they were in high school and were married in 2009. They have two children, 4-year-old Brianna and 2-yearold Levi.

Over the past couple of years, the Martins have been living in inadequate housing. In June 2013, they decided they QHHGHG WR Ă&#x20AC;QG D KRPH WKDW ZRXOG EH PRUH suitable for them. Kaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother suggested she apply for a Habitat home.

The Martins submitted their application and, within a few months, were chosen to start their journey with Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity.

The Martins were overjoyed to start building their home and to partner with Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity. But not everything was perfect. Building a Habitat home takes time, and the Martins were still living in housing that was infested with mold. The Martin family, especially Levi, started to have health

issues, so they made the hard decision to move out of their current apartment, even though they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a place to temporarily call home. They had nowhere to turn, and for the past few months they have been living with friends and relatives until their home was completed.

The Martins have been patiently waiting and working hard on their home, and the day has almost arrived where they ZLOO EH DEOH WR PRYH LQ DQG Ă&#x20AC;QDOO\ EH DEOH to settle down. The Martins have been working their regular jobs, taking care of their kids and managing to clear enough of their schedule to work over 500 hours of sweat equity in building their home.

Not only will the Martin family be able to pay mortgage payments and own their house, but their family will also have a safe place to call home.

Please join Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity and the Martin family in celebrating their new home during a dedication ceremony this Saturday. All are invited to welcome the Martin family into the neighborhood, and join in the festivities. /()7 0DWWKHZ DQG .D\ODK 0DUWLQ DQG WKHLU FKLOGUHQ /HYL DQG %ULDQQD ZLOO EH FHOHEUDW LQJ WKHLU QHZ :LOG 5LYHUV +DELWDW IRU +XPDQ LW\ KRPH DW &HQWXULRQ $YH LQ &HQWXULD DW D GHGLFDWLRQ FHUHPRQ\ RQ 6DWXUGD\ $SULO DW D P 7KH SXEOLF LV LQYLWHG WR ZHOFRPH WKH 0DUWLQV LQWR WKH QHLJKERUKRRG z 3KRWR VXEPLW WHG

The Yellowjackets split wins with UWStevens Point and Thomfohrda, a second baseman, went 1 for 3 with a walk in a 3-1 win, and also had a single during a late Brittany rally, in which SupeThomfohrda rior fell 6-3. Hanson was solid in relief for the Yellowjackets in the 6-3 loss, going 2.2 innings, allowing no runs and just one hit, with a walk and four strikeouts. Superior is off to a good start early this season with an overall record of 15-5. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with information from uwsyellowjackets.com â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ LA CROSSE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Emily Gross of Unity is a freshman thrower at UW-Stout this season and helped the Blue Devil ZRPHQ Ă&#x20AC;QLVK LQ VHFRQG SODFH DW WKH La Crosse Ashton May Invitational recently.

(Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150 years.) Organizers envision a game between Grantsburg and )UHGHULF sometime during the weekend of Sept. 19 and 20. Participants will be limited to those 35 and over.

Downtown in Indy Spies working the 1&$$ 0HQ¡V )LQDO )RXU basketball tournament in Indianapolis indicate that well-known local multimedia sports maven â&#x20AC;&#x153;Downtownâ&#x20AC;? Dennis $QGHUVRQ was on the scene to watch his Wisconsin Badgers at The Big Dance.

Anderson is certainly not a newcomer to the Badgers bandwagon.

His steadfast UW support extends back so far that he is apt to remember the likes of -RH )UDQNOLQ &ODUHQFH 6KHUURG -RH &KUQHOLFK :HV 0DWWKHZV 6WHYH <RGHU Bill &RĂ&#x20AC;HOG 5LFN\ 2OVRQ and many others who once played for or coached the Badgers.

Unsubstantiated reports indicate Anderson mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the scene for the Badgers last national championship in 1941.

Say what? DNR spring hearings set for $SULO Included among the agenda items for the 2015 spring hearings is an advisory discussion of the prospect of making Wisconsin another state to allow a sandhill

crane hunting season. Presently the majestic and gangly birds are hunted in 17 states, and by all accounts provide very tasty table fare.

While nearly all bird species are either beautiful, intriguing or both, only a few are hunted in this state, ducks, geese, mourning doves, grouse, woodcock, rails and turkeys to name a few.

Meanwhile, for whatever reason â&#x20AC;&#x201C; considering all birds denoted above are beautiful, intriguing and tasty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only the sandhill crane seems to have the strong, organized, loyal and dedicated group of devotees who will do all they can to make sure a Wisconsin hunting season is never authorized.

Also on the docket for upcoming changes are some adjustments to panfish limits.

However, it appears that none of the lakes targeted for change are located in Burnett or Polk counties.

This weekend, the weather is predicted to improve once again, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good timing for the statewide two-day youth turkey hunt that kicks off the turkey season April 11-12. The season is for permit holders age 10-15, and a great way to introduce a youth to the outdoors, but even if the youth hunter doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score on a turkey this weekend, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able get another crack at it during the time period their tag was issued for.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never particularly enjoyed hunting turkeys in the snow or the cold, so I usually apply for a tag no earlier than the third season, which is period C, and runs April 29-May 5. Birds seem to be scattered a bit more on the landscape at that WLPH DV RSSRVHG WR WKH ODUJHU Ă RFNV VHHQ during the earlier seasons.

Sure, I often contend with some ticks, skeeters and possibly hot weather, but the feeling of being warm and cozy against a tree after a long winter just makes sense to me.

Hunting pressure also starts to die down later in the season, and although the turkeys can be a bit more wary to hunt, or respond to calls, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great time

to be in the woods. And with all those extra over-the-counter turkey tags, it gives me the opportunity to hunt more than one season, and possibly harvest a bonus bird. Best of luck to area hunters as they hit the woods this weekend. Its already appears to be shaping up to be a great spring for turkey hunting.

UW and business are powerful partners for growthÂ

WK 'LVWULFW 6HQDWH

T

he Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget proposal for the University of Wisconsin System has sparked a debate on the role and mission of this world-class institution to our state. As policy makers discuss the implications of the current two-year budget on the UW System, the decisions made in the coming months will have a lasting effect on our universities and colleges for years to come. It is important that the discussion focus on how we can ensure that the UW System is nimble and responsive to an everchanging world as we work to maintain value and affordability.

A recent study found that 62 percent of all jobs in Wisconsin will require some postsecondary training by 2020.

Currently, Wisconsin has a 39-percent postsecondary attainment rate among our working-age population. This not only presents a workforce development challenge in meeting the needs of our employers, but also impacts the prosperity of our families. As seen in our neighboring state of Minnesota, increased levels of postsecondary attainment can be directly linked to their higher per capita income, which is around $5,000 higher than in Wisconsin.

Clearly, our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for economic and income growth is dependent

6KHLOD +DUVGRUI upon our ability to develop our workforce in an increasingly technical and innovative economy. Our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s citizens and employers will be depending on the UW System, as well as the Wisconsin Technical College System, to meet those needs. Campuses are thinking outside of the box to meet this challenge through initiatives such as the Flex Option, whereby individuals can get credit for what they know, and UW-River Fallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hudson Center, which provides midcareer and adult learners a convenient off-campus location to complete or seek additional advanced degrees. In order to ensure our future economic success, it LV FULWLFDO WKDW WKH 8: 6\VWHP UHĂ HFW WKH needs of our students and goals of our state.

In many cases, our campuses are already answering this call and working with local businesses and industries to offer solutions to training a quality workforce. Several examples from campuses around the state help demonstrate the valuable private-public partnerships WKDW IRVWHU JURZWK DQG EHQHĂ&#x20AC;W :LVFRQ-

sinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students and employers. In La Crosse, Trane has joined with UW-La Crosse to establish an internship program to meet the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recruiting needs. The Manufacturing Outreach Center at UW-Stout works with manufacturers to help encourage growth and LPSURYH SURĂ&#x20AC;WDELOLW\ 8: :KLWHZDWHU¡V Incubation Program provides opportunities for entrepreneurs to successfully launch their start-ups with the support and resources of the university community.

Additionally, UW campuses are performing the kind of groundbreaking research that aids innovative new industries and creates solutions to everyday problems to improve our quality of life.

UW-Milwaukee is the only postsecondary institution in the nation with a center on freshwater science, which is an important issue to our agricultural and tourism industries, as well as a growing issue worldwide given the scarcity of freshwater. At Oshkosh, the university is working to improve energy independence by unlocking the energy potential of livestock material and biodigesters. )LQGLQJ ZD\V WR HIĂ&#x20AC;FLHQWO\ XVH RXU UHsources and deriving value from waste materials is a topic of study at UWStevens Point.

These local and statewide initiatives show that bringing the needs and knowhow of the private sector together with the universitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expertise and resources are powerful drivers of Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

economy and communities. By meeting the workforce needs of our state, UW campuses provide a vital service in encouraging economic development and job growth. We know that a stable DQG TXDOLĂ&#x20AC;HG ZRUNIRUFH LV D WRS FRQVLGeration of businesses as they seek places to expand or move their operations.

Without a pipeline of talented graduates, businesses will choose to create jobs elsewhere.

While we more frequently hear of the challenges and missteps of the UW System, the initiatives described above show the value that UW campuses provide to our state. Even as there have been disappointments relating to past administrative practices, the UW System under the current leadership has been working collaboratively with state leaders to rebuild relationships and address concerns. I believe that our state will not have a better opportunity than now to entrust the leadership of the UW System, the board of regents and chancellors with greater ability to manage their operations. Providing greater Ă H[LELOLWLHV DV ZH KROG WKH XQLYHUVLW\ accountable will provide them with the ability to be nimble and responsive to our changing economy and encourage new initiatives and policies that improve student outcomes. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use this opportunity to build on the UW Systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successes and position it to continue to be a world-renowned institution.

Mayor joins nationwide effort to recognize impact of volunteer service

AMERY - Mayor Kay Erickson joined more than 2,228 mayors across the country for the third-annual Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service, a day to highlight the impact of national service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;National service is a vital resource for our city,â&#x20AC;? said Erickson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;AmeriCorps and Senior Corps members make our cities better places to live.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Back Door Cafeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? premieres Friday, April 17 ST. CROIX FALLS - On Friday, April 17, at 7:30 p.m., St. Croix Festival Theatre will present the premier of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Back Door CafĂŠ.â&#x20AC;? Conceived and produced as a part of The Big Read through the collaboration of The National Endowment for the Arts, ArtReach St. Croix and Festival Theatre, the play expands upon themes presented in Louise Erdrichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love Medicine.â&#x20AC;?

Stories for the play were collected orally and in writing from residents of St. Croix Valley communities and woven together for the fabric of the play by playwright Ed Moersfelder. Moersfelder said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The premise for the play envisions friends bursting through the back door, sitting at the kitchen table and recounting encounters with nature. Rather than a kitchen, where bounding through the back door may be just a bit pushy, the setting for the play was inspired by my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and my 2014 New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve dinner at an intimate and homey diner in Ozark, Ala. I gathered the stories through the written responses to The Big Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for stories, stories told to me by friends, personal experience and, frankly, tuning into conversations at the next table. Although the play is sparked by Erdrichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, there is no direct connection between the two other than the development of themes relating to friendship, community and our relationship with the natural world.â&#x20AC;?

by Marlys Spencer was reminded of a much more relaxed era as I paged leisurely through old yearbooks. Classes offered were science, economics, history, mathematics and English, with an emphasis on Domestic Science and Agriculture, perhaps because managing a household or the family farm were ultimate goals for a large percentage of the graduates. There were 11 periodicals in â&#x20AC;&#x153;our progressive library.â&#x20AC;?

Domestic science consisted of two parts, one cooking, the other sewing. It had to be a self-supporting department, so students sponsored luncheons for 15 to 25 cents per plate. They sometimes served hot lunches for the student body, usually a couple of months in the winter, one year costing only 3 cents per lunch.

In sewing, the girls laid out, cut, VWLWFKHG DQG Ă&#x20AC;QLVKHG RII FRXQWOHVV H[amples of useful apparel, including a complete set of lingerie. A poem from 1921, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dainties,â&#x20AC;? conveys delight in the multiple skills of domestic science classes:

I tend to get out of bed at roughly the same time each day. I have tried sleeping later but it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. I am awakened by the alarm clock, or the internal clock often within minutes of each other.

My morning routine actually begins the evening before. Sometimes I may plan my breakfast but usually that decision is left to my morning preferences.

One thing that is almost always accomplished before I go to bed is making coffee. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually make the coffee but my coffeemaker is set to produce a stunning black brew at the precise time I designate each and every day.

I like to cook breakfast and I frequently take upon myself the responsibility of making a satisfying morning meal. Baked pancakes, buttermilk pancakes, Swedish pancakes, blueberry pancakes all rank up there as menu options. Sometimes we specialize in eggs.

Skim milk is a no-no; I garnish my oatmeal with a generous splash of half and half.

Coffee isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just an afterthought but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a primary goal. It starts with good water carefully measured into my automatic coffeemaker. Then fresh roasted beans are placed in the top of the grinder ready to be ground into designated particle sizes in order to enhance the coffee drinking experience.

The importance of agriculture in the world was stressed in those classes, only for boys in the 1920s, and Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dairy farms were noted for their roles in providing large quantities of milk and cheese. The Frederic area was said to be one of the richest dairy farming regions in the state.

Stock judging was a large part of the curriculum. Each school competed for a trip to Madison for the state contest. Classes of animals judged were Holstein cows for dairy purposes, Poland China hogs and Aberdeen Angus for breeding purposes, Clydesdale horses for draft purposes, and Shropshire sheep for their value as mutton.

When I worked on my own high school yearbook decades later, our adviser noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a picture book,â&#x20AC;? and so it was.

Not so in the 1920s, however. These contain a minimum of pictures and a great deal of original prose, poems and jokes. Articles stress family values; thank-yous to teachers, parents and community; school pride and responsibility to make the world better. All in all, the goal is for each student to become a progressive citizen of the community.

We recently went on a short vacation where our routine was altered. No farm fresh eggs and toast but no matter, we adjusted well.

t was always looming out there somewhere in the imaginary future: the promise of an easier, carefree life Ă&#x20AC;OOHG ZLWK OHLVXUHO\ PRUQLQJV QR PRUH bedtimes, uncluttered days and nights, and no more rushing around. Doing what you want when you want with people of your own choosing. Traveling ZLWK QR GHĂ&#x20AC;QLWH EHJLQQLQJ RU HQG GDWHV maybe no real destination. The golden years, the easy life, goodbye work world, hello retirement.

Turns out that, like so many things in life, when you get there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite what you thought it would be.

Or so it seems two years into it. For a while, you revel in the small things.

Still drinking that second cup of coffee an hour after you get up. Starting the movie at 10 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock, your old bedtime, because you can.

And meaning, it seems, matters. For most of us, life involves, at least in part, some kind of search for meaning. Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the unfortunate few, by the time you retire, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably become quite competent at what you do.

And your skill, be it wiring a house, caring for the sick or giving good service at a retail level, contributed to the whole

More than anything, retirement represents taking back your time, deciding when and how long youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend doing all those things that make up a day. No more schedules, punching the clock, living for the weekends. But if time is a commodity, each day has some kind of inherent value. As a working stiff, those weekends were precious. Vacation days were gold. But as a retiree, all days come to have roughly the same value.

Oh sure, the day you get the root canal or that colonoscopy are low-value days, but for the most part, all days are basically created equal.

So it becomes easier to fritter the days away. No more worries about making the best of those high-value days, no more trying to pack all you can into a week of vacation. So it is that some days just come and go, disappearing in a blur of time - what did we have for dinner last night? - and those days become weeks and then months and so on.

It is possible to overthink this stuff, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point. You have more time to do just that.

Something you might wonder is ... hey, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this place only last two to three wintering seasons? If it was important, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it have been used longer and year-round? Actually, that span of occupancy was quite normal for that time and that industry. The fur trade is based on acquiring raw furs and as such it, like gold or silver, is being â&#x20AC;&#x153;mined,â&#x20AC;? or trapped. And once the resource diminishes beyond a certain return, the managing fur traders, in tandem with their Indian trappers/fur suppliers, move elsewhere. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking a time in history with lots of areas of high furanimal presence, but not so many humans. So a two- to three-year span was pretty ordinary, actually longer than some sites where the fur populations dwindled more quickly.

Forts Folle Avoine was one of three types of fur trading posts. First, there were the collection/distribution centers.

These were situated at strategic entry points to certain areas. To grasp the idea, just remember that all the movement across thousands of miles was by canoe in a focused hunt for tribes to trade with in obtaining mostly beaver.

For this region, the main entry points were the Straits of Mackinac and Grand Portage. In turn, each smaller area usually had a common waterway intersection from which traders embarked for the hinterlands. The Folle Avoine region, south of Lake Superior, had an entry point at modern-day DuluthSuperior known as Forts St. Louis.

The next sort of post was a provisions post. These were situated along a main

These, too, were few in number. They would be in areas with fairly stable food resources or regions through which large canoe brigades would pass. They were like fueling stations, food being the energizer needed by crews on longer journeys.

Forts Folle Avoine was of the most common sort, the wintering post. Over three centuries, over 500 were built and used, sometimes for only a season or two. They were located near and often by consultation with Indian allies such as the Cree and Ojibwe tribes. The fur traders thus werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inventing a new element to tribal life ways, but adapting their commercial interests to the already established routines of cultures based on nomadic hunting/trapping.

In return, the Indians desired the trading supplies which enhanced their lives.

Plus the social interplay involved in this massive trade empire truly was a place where two distinct societies merged in a common enterprise and shared environment.

Forts Folle Avoine factored into an attempt by fur trader John Sayer to grasp the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trade for the North West &RPSDQ\ WKH ODUJHVW RXWĂ&#x20AC;W ZRUNLQJ in the Montreal-based network of fur posts stretching across the continent.

Despite treaties, the area was still, in the early 1800s, controlled by the Ojibwe Indians. Sayer used his experience and family connections with them to forge an alliance, and to stave off competition from a North West splinter group calling themselves the XY Company. This is why visitors encounter two, not one, fur

And again, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking collection fort, not a military type. Sayer also had crews elsewhere in the region, but it was at the Yellow River site that the XY opponents decided to build just 100 feet away from their North West rivals, making for the only situation in North America where rival trading companies were literally in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laps.

So while Forts Folle Avoine may seem just a way station in the overall scope of fur trade history, it actually was a OLQFKSLQ LQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW 1RUWK $PHULFDQ enterprise to span the continent. And, perhaps even more important, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of only a handful to ever have been fully excavated, then reconstructed, and then opened with interactive tours to explain how the everyday lives of the fur traders and Indians dovetailed.

So while Forts Folle Avoine by itself did not alter the course of history, so

to speak, its presence and history was indeed a major player in the overall scheme of a vast interrelated enterprise WKDW KDG DQ HQRUPRXV LQĂ XHQFH RQ WKH early history not just of these parts, but of all of North America. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a case of the merely local being tied into the overall picture, big-time.

Who are Regional Hospice volunteers?

SPOONER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Who are Regional Hospice volunteers?

They are men and women of all ages and backgrounds who have the desire to share in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life by giving their time, special talent and compassion with someone who is facing a terminal illness.

Most Regional Hospice volunteers have had a personal experience with this service and want to pay it forward. Other volunteers have not had any experience with hospice care in the past but are looking for a meaningful way to give back to the people within their community.

Regional Hospice volunteers have a wide variety of opportunity to share their time. Sitting with a patient so their caregiver can run an errand, make phone calls or just take a break is so appreciated. Volunteers may assist with meal preparation, or even provide a meal.

They provide weekly tuck-in calls to make sure needs are met for the weekend. Volunteers also help with the Catch a Dream program where Regional Hospice helps to make a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special wish or dream become a reality. The Vet-to-Vet Volunteer program honors and recognizes our former military men and women who

may be receiving hospice support. Then there is the important vigil volunteer, who provides a comforting presence at the bedside of a dying patient.

Some comments from hospice volunteers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a privilege to share the precious journey with our Regional Hospice patients by being present where there is a need through home visits or the tuck-in program. My heart is deeply touched by these shared experiences,â&#x20AC;? says Marge McCardle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider it a privilege to be a part of Regional Hospice and our patients and their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives,â&#x20AC;? stated Maureen Singelton.

April 12 through April 18 is National Volunteer Week.

Regional Hospice Services extends gratitude to all of its volunteers who generously give their time and talents in so many ways to help support the patients and families served.

If you would like more information on becoming a Regional Hospice volunteer, please call 715-635-9077. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Regional Hospice

Webster band and choir perform at Disney

Jean Koelz | Staff writer ORLANDO, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nearly 70 students from Webster High School had the opportunity to â&#x20AC;&#x153;earn their earsâ&#x20AC;? as honorary cast members by performing at Disney World during spring break. On Tuesday, March 31, the Webster marching band, under the direction of Julie Strang, paraded through Epcot; and on the following day, the choir performed three songs on the Waterside Stage at Downtown Disney under the direction of Rachel Lee. The Webster music department auditions for the chance to perform and travel to Disney World every four years, giving students and chaperones plenty of time and opportunities to raise money to pay their own way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a popular event for both students and members of the community who take advantage of the value-priced vacation. With support from the music department and the Webster Education Foundation, the cost for the entire trip, which includes all transportation, an afternoon at a water park, four hopper day passes good for all the Disney theme parks, hotel accommodations and two meals per day was just $700. Retail value of the trip, especially because it took place during one of the tourist attractionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest weeks, would have exceeded $2,000 per person if planned separately.

The low cost is largely due to the efforts of Dan and Mary Zimmer, who plan all the details of the trip and keep everything organized and on schedule while there.

Band director Julie Strang was happy to report that everything went smoothly with the help of the many adult chaperones who went on the trip, and the students represented Webster in a most positive way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part of the trip for me is getting to share this amazing world with students who would not normally have the chance to experience it,â&#x20AC;? Strang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing the expression on my studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faces when they got their

honorary cast member ears was priceless.â&#x20AC;?

Strang is referring to the Mickey Mouse caps that were awarded to each student with the explanation that every Disney cast member goes through a period of training during which time they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;earning their ears.â&#x20AC;? There are no employees at Disney World because everyone from the Disney characters to the bathroom attendants is an equally important part of the show. Students were told that their successful performance made them cast PHPEHUV DQG TXDOLĂ&#x20AC;HG WKHP WR UHFHLYH WKHLU HDUV That philosophy explains why everyone you meet at Disney seems so truly happy, and all the cast members not only want to help make your experience magical, but also are empowered to do so. Many students reported all kinds of gestures that made their visit special. For example, after striking up a conversation with a ride attendant who happened to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;from a town so small itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called a village,â&#x20AC;? a group of students was led to the front of the line for the Fast Track ride in Epcot, bypassing a two-hour wait. Another group of students was befriended by a street cleaner who ended up escorting them to front-row seats of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lion King,â&#x20AC;? all the while entertaining them with stories about his life, travels and passion for Disney.

Not all the gestures were so grand, but memorable, nonetheless. A freshman on the trip admitted that she liked being called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Princessâ&#x20AC;? everywhere she went. A senior had fun trading pins with cast members he met at the various parks. For most of these teenagers, and the adults who accompanied them, it was nice to be patted RQ WKH KHDG OLNH D FKLOG RU Ă LUWHG ZLWK DQG NLVVHG RQ WKH cheek by one of the characters.

Some tips on appropriate video games for your kids Q: Should I permit my child to play video games? If so, which games should I allow and how can I maintain control?

Jim: Only you can decide if you want to allow your kids to participate in gaming. But if you do, be sure to stay actively involved in the buying process. Here are a few helpful game-purchasing guidelines: â&#x20AC;˘ Always check ratings. This is a good start, but remember that the video-game industry rating system is not infallible when it comes to determining familyfriendly content. No matter what the rating says, parents should research the material to ensure that the game is appropriate for their family. â&#x20AC;˘ Read expert reviews and consult other parents. Take the time to research games that your child wants to play.

Read online reviews. Focus on the Familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plugged In, pluggedin.com, offers helpful reviews of popular video games. â&#x20AC;˘ Rent or borrow video games before buying.
