UP FRONT FREDERIC - Next weekend (June 20-22) Frederic will host its 50th Family Days celebration, which includes a variety of family-oriented activities including the mainstay attractions that have survived for half a century - the queen pageant and the parade. In next week’s issue, the Leader plans to take a look back at the history of the celebration, the people who planned it, right down to the heavy (and likely very warm) red velvet cape that adorned the shoulders of every Miss Frederic from 1965 to 1981. ,I \RX KDYH DQ\ PHPRULHV RI WKDW Ă€UVW )DPLO\ 'D\V RU ZRXOG OLNH to comment in general, please email editor@leadernewsroom.

Crabb refused the state’s request to halt the marriages, and didn’t offer any more guidance to FOHUNV %\ PLGDIWHUQRRQ RQ 0RQGD\ PRUH WKDQ WZR GR]HQ FRXQW\ FOHUNV ZHUH LVVXLQJ marriage licenses to such couples. About the same number of clerks had decided not to. Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Novak said it’s been confusing. “I’ll tell you, it’s an extremely gray area,â€? she said. “At least that would be my take on it.â€? Novak had issued eight marriage licenses to same- sex couples as of Monday afternoon, but she said she expected more. She said many may be waiting because of the state’s attempts to overturn Crabb’s ruling. “They’re somewhat in limbo even once they receive the license and have the ceremony,â€? said Novak. “I think some people, knowing that the state is pushing so hard for a stay, maybe are a little reluctant.â€? Eau Claire County Clerk Janet Loomis says without clear direction, she won’t marry gay couples. “Every county is making that decision for itself, and personally, I feel that is not the way it should be either,â€? said Loomis. “There (are) 72 counties in Wisconsin and we should all be doing the same.â€? Crabb said it’s likely that she or another federal judge will likely stay her ruling and halt the marriages soon, but until then things would be status quo. The next hearing in the case that overturned the gay marriage ban is set for June 19. - Rich Kremer | Wisconsin Public Radio Editor’s note: Burnett and Polk were listed as among issuing same-sex marriage licenses, and Washburn County was listed among those not issuing licenses.

Greg Marsten | Staff writer EAU CLAIRE – The St. Croix Falls man charged in an online sex sting where police posed as an underage male seeking sex, has been sentenced in Eau Claire County Circuit Court.

September. According to the criminal complaint, he attempted to solicit sex from a juvenile male whom he believed was 15 years old. Frank admitted to police that he had the conversation with 'DYLG 5 )UDQN who he thought was a minor, hoping to have a sexual encounter and apparently smoke marijuana.

Letters Listen, ask questions, be informed ... In the nasty-negative, money-speaks political world we now live in, we should all make an effort to be civil and respect other people’s opinions and beliefs. When candidates agree to come, speak, listen and take our questions in various forums, we should at the very least attend the gathering. Make them take our questions and answer us honestly and openly before they’re elected to represent and work for us. We need to be informed voters.

Taking a stand for rural schools For rural Wisconsin, public schools are the hub of activity during the day, doubling as community centers, a place to exercise after work and polling stations for elections. Rural schools, with their mas-

Viewpoints

cots and sports teams, school plays and graduations, tie together generations and capture the story of an entire town. Unfortunately, we are poised to lose a growing number of those rural schools unless our Legislature reverses course. In the face of declining enrollment and huge cuts in revenue, rural schools are cutting programs, stretching staff with heavier workloads, closing schools and surviving on referendums year after year. In the outright war on public schools that the Republican majority in the Wisconsin Legislature has waged since 2011 with its $1.6 billion in public school funding cuts, RXU UXUDO VFKRROV DUH EHFRPLQJ WKH ÀUVW casualties. School leaders in Wisconsin were encouraged in 2013 when Assembly 6SHDNHU 5RELQ 9RV FRQYHQHG D 7DVN )RUFH on Rural Schools. The 12-member group was chaired by Rep. Rob Swearingen, RRhinelander. I served as the vice chair. 6HHLQJ ÀUVW KDQG WKH H[SHULHQFH RI SXElic schools around the state and hearing testimony from rural school leaders was eye-opening. Inadequate funding adds to long-standing factors such as high transportation costs, high costs for technology and the extra expense of having student populations spread over large areas. The bottom line is that many of our rural schools lack the resources to provide students with educational opportunities that are anywhere near those of our wealthier, suburban districts. One sign of the unOHYHO SOD\LQJ ÀHOG IRU UXUDO VFKRROV LV KRZ many rural schools have to ask taxpayers for extra funding just to pay teachers and keep the lights on. In fact, of the 956 operating referendums that public school districts have placed on ballots since 1998, 73 percent have been for rural schools.

After many discussions, and with many points of agreement between us, on May 4, Chairman Swearingen and I elected to UHOHDVH VHSDUDWH UHSRUWV RQ RXU ÀQGLQJV from the task force. Having differing conclusions on an issue is not a bad thing – it happens every day in town board meetLQJV DQG LQ WKH 8 6 6XSUHPH &RXUW %RWK reports did agree on a number of positive recommendations. In fact, my colleague Rep. Mandy Wright and I introduced legislation last session to increase sparsity aid, to provide grants for rural teacher loan forgiveness, and to renew investment in school technology – issues proposed in both reports. These proposals unfortunately never got hearings and were never seriously considered by the Republican leadership. I believe strongly that any discussion of rural schools needs to include a meaningful discussion on how to restore adequate and equitable funding for schools. My UHSRUW DV YLFH FKDLU LOOXVWUDWHV VSHFLÀF provisions for school funding reform that have been long supported by legislators of both parties, including restoring our state’s commitment to two-thirds funding of public schools.

As recently as their 2014 convention, Wisconsin Republicans have openly committed to blowing the caps entirely off of the voucher school program in the next state budget. Statewide voucher schools without limits would be a dream come true for private school lobbyists and the RepubOLFDQ 3DUW\ SRZHU EDVH 8QIRUWXQDWHO\ it would also be a certain train wreck for RXU SXEOLF VFKRROV DQG WKH Ă€UVW FDUV WR JR off the tracks will be public schools in our VPDOOHVW FRPPXQLWLHV 3ULYDWL]DWLRQ ZLOO EH WKH Ă€QDO VKRYH WKDW PD\ IRUFH PDQ\ rural schools into closing their doors. If we allow that to happen we will be ending a way of life in rural Wisconsin. As much as I value bipartisanship, I value the great tradition of public education in Wisconsin even more. I urge voters everywhere this year to ask legislative candidates to name their position on public schools, “As a candidate do you support growing voucher schools statewide or do you support keeping the doors open in our small-town public schools throughout Wisconsin?â€? You cannot do both. Fred Clark State Rep. 81st Assembly District Madison

t’s the kind of report that probably ends up in more recycling bins than reading piles. Released in May, “Tenure, Turnover and re-election in the Wisconsin Legislature, 1940-2012,â€? a 32-page bulletin from the /HJLVODWLYH 5HIHUHQFH %Xreau, lives up to its nonscintillating title and was received accordingly.

Legislative longevity roughly doubled from pre-1960 levels in both chambers, topping an average of PRUH WKDQ ÀYH VHVVLRQV SHU VHQDWRU LQ and four sessions per Assembly representative in 2003.

In the 33-member Senate, the average dipped in 2011, when eight new senators were inaugurated; it will drop again in 2015, following a fall election in which seven incumbents, including several veterans, are not seeking election. The report also charts the downturn of intra-party competition. Consider: %HWZHHQ DQG D WRWDO RI $Vsembly incumbents were defeated in primaries — more than in the general elections during these years. Contrast that to the six cycles since 2000, in which just four Assembly incumbents were ousted in primaries.

This fall’s elections, with seven open seats, could equal or top that. One factor for the recent rise in turnover is the growing number of lawmakers who don’t seek re-election. This is especially true in the Assembly, where from 1990 to 2008 an average of 87 incumbents sought re-election. The total was 79 in 2010, 80 in 2012 and will be 77 this year. $QRWKHU IDFWRU *HWWLQJ UH HOHFWHG LV QR longer as automatic. In the Senate, the success rate of senators seeking re-election
