What is marriage? What can it be, for good or bad?

For some of us, it is a dull and soulcrushing grind that sometimes devolves into cataclysmic destruction and cruelty.

But for others, it is a necessary precondition for a happy life.

Almost all human beings feel that our lives are meant to be shared, or living would be devoid of truth, beauty, or meaning. Marriage often meets that need.

In a broad sense, we may feel married to our families, our friends, and our communities. We are intertwined with them, enmeshed and joined so that it is hard to separate oneself without creating a wound.

In a singular sense, many of us are married to that one shining person we discovered recently or long ago. We have chosen among the multitude of shapes, sizes and colors of God’s designs; we have decided with whom we will bond with for the rest of our lives. Choosing may not seem easy since it is a value judgment – do we value personality and character; or power and leadership; or monies and resources? It can be any of these, all of these, or possibly none of these and something else altogether, such as a laughing spirit and a mischievous twinkle in the eye.

If it works out well, we may experience a true, unadulterated fusion of souls, pure and clean, free of the limits of physical plans and needs. We may then experience the agape love for our beloved without regard for the circumstance, environment, or physical realities of the world.

When one has chosen and embarks on a journey with his or her beloved, the world makes sense. You are together and

will always be together; in body, in mind, and in soul. That initiation and commitment and promise of oneness seals two into a greater one forever.

Enjoying a fulfilling and happy marriage is a blessing. Living together in the present has its joy of all joys; it also has its challenges. Most will agree there is no perfect marriage because there are differences, divergences, and conflict.

While these vicissitudes can be difficult to endure, the deeper bonding and understanding in the aftermath make the struggle worthwhile. Not every day or encounter comes easy, but the rough patches can be smoothed out with a tranquil mindset.

A starter-list of spiritual tenets for the marital journey follows: 1. Place the essence of your attention and focus on her well-being.

2. Share a sense of humor since most of the outlooks and quibbles inherent in day to day living are laughable.

3. Walk the fine line of leadership with both confidence and humility, knowing that one day you will be a ghost.

4. Listen intently with both eyes focused and refrain from expressing the majority of your opinions since most things need little or no comment or judgement.

5. Be true to your own goodness and spread your generosity to all as a testament to her influence on you for the betterment of your spirit.

When you put that ring on her finger, you are giving the entirety of yourself to her, now and through eternity. Cherish the days as they pass one by one down the trail of time.

METRO BR BRiiEFS

by B.C. Kowalski

PFAS south Weston is the latest municipality to report high levels of PFAS A former Wausau area reporter asked a pretty good question Thursday morning during a press conference from Weston. Essentially, it was: Has the state looked at where all this PFAS is actually coming from?

The village of Weston is the latest municipality to test for levels of PFAS higher than new state recommendations of 20 parts per trillion. Weston held a press conference Thursday over Zoom to inform the public about it.

According to Village Administrator Keith Donner, well No. 3 tested with PFAS levels higher than the new 20 ppt recommendation from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Health Services. No. 4 tested just below the 20ppt standard, but had a safety index above 1, causing concern for village and DNR officials.

As a result, the village took down the treatment plant long enough to take wells Nos. 3 and 4 offline, using the village’s other three wells to supply water to the treatment plant.

Weston is the latest in a string of municipalities to test above the new standard for PFAS. Wausau made headlines when it announced last month that all six of its wells had tested between 23-48 ppt for PFAS. That made it impossible to simply shut off a well or two to temporarily fix the problem. The Rib Mountain Sanitary Sewer District announced late last year the need to shut down a well because of high levels of PFAS, and Rothschild just announced its levels were under control after initially testing higher than the new standard.

“Weston utilities takes its role in protecting public health very seriously,” Donner said Thursday. The village tested its wells in February and got its results back a week before making the announcement.

The village also tested its wells in 2014 and 2015, and at that time did not find PFAS above the 20 ppt standard.

But where is it coming from? DNR Water Quality Specialist Kyle Burton says the state hasn’t yet begun its investigation into the source of the PFAS. But that is coming, Burton says.

County Diversity Affairs Commission could be on chopping block The makeup of the Marathon County Board could look very different after the April election with 19 seats being challenged. The county’s committees could look different too — the new board will take up a proposal to eliminate the diversity affairs commission.

The proposal was included in a packet earlier in March, though nothing on the agenda made that clear.

Only buried in the board packet are the new version of the rules, which include the section that spells out the commission completely crossed out and the diversity and inclusion responsibilities doled out to other committees.

Rules Review Committee Chair Craig McEwen told

John Marshall could be designated a historic landmark, though the process is currently on hold.

City Pages the process to review the statutory and nonstatutory (ie required and non-required) committees and commissions has been ongoing in the rules and review committee since September.

McEwen says he and other supervisors have been hearing concern from residents about non-elected people on committees pushing policy to the county board. Much of that concern stemmed from the No Place for Hate and A Community For All resolutions put forth by the Diversity Affairs Commission.

The proposal would be taken up by the next county board following the elections. The number of seats being challenged this time around is the most in at least two decades, with 19 contested races. There will be at least eight new members on the board, and could be many more. A Community For All came up in many candidate questionnaires City Pages sent out; both for and against.

A previous board can’t compel a future board to act, McEwen says, so the new board will decide whether or not to make any of the changes once it is seated.

Council member seeking legal fee reimbursement over ethics complaint A city council member who had been the subject of an ethics investigation now wants the city to pay her legal fees.

The Ethics Board in March found that City Council Member Deb Ryan hadn’t violated the city’s ethics code, but strongly condemned her actions. Ryan was accused of spreading false information about county board member and Judicare attorney William Harris, and trying to get him fired from his job.

Ryan in a recent press release says she is now seeking to have her legal fees reimbursed by the city. Those could add up to $15,000 to $20,000, according to Ryan’s own calculations.

The Ethics Board officially closed the case on Monday, and suggested the board itself might provide some suggestions for possible changes to the ethics policies. Ryan didn’t violate any of the city’s ordinances as currently written, board member Robyn De Vos said Monday. But the board discussed recommending potential changes to the ethics codes going forward, which ultimately would be reviewed by the city attorney’s office and then the city council.

The current ordinances mostly focused on ethics concerns around finances, and the complaint against Ryan had nothing to do with finances. But, plenty of ethics matters fall outside those involving finances.

City Council President Becky McElhaney told City Pages that the ethics ordinance would need to be looked at by the city council for possible amendment for a number of reasons. “The ordinance outlining the procedure was found to be cumbersome and inefficient once put into practice,” McElhaney says. “Some of the language is confusing.” The ordinance didn’t anticipate what might happen if there were recusals or resignations, for instance.

Both happened during the Ryan investigation.

The Ethics Board could take up recommending potential changes at its next meeting.

Historic commission sending letter to school board about John Marshall preservation

Crowds filled two rooms in the Marathon County Courthouse last year as the county’s Executive Committtee took up the latest version of the A Community for All resolution.

March 31-April 7, 2022

The city’s Historic Preservation Commission plans to write a letter to the Wausau School Board to further pursue designating John Marshall Elementary School as a historic landmark.

The letter comes after the city’s Plan Commission put a halt to the designation process for six months as the district told city leaders it needs time to develop a

facilities plan. With fewer and fewer students, it’s likely it will have to think differently about how many schools the district has.

The Historic Preservation Commission earlier this year voted to start the process of designating the building as a historic landmark.

Historian Gary Gisselman, who is also running for city council and county board, says there are plenty of ways to preserve the building historically without necessarily retaining the original use. Even if the school district didn’t keep it as a school, the building could be repurposed while still retaining some historic qualities, he says.

Spending low this election cycle Despite the high number of contested races this election cycle, spending on local campaigns appears to be quite low.

Campaign finance filings show most candidates didn’t file campaign finance reports with city, county or school officials. According to the state of Wisconsin Ethics Commission, spending of $2,000 or less on local elections doesn’t need to be reported, as it’s considered “limited activity.” That applies to outside agencies as well.

On the school board, only Jon Creisher, James Bouche and Joanna Reyes filed campaign finance reports for the current period. Reyes took in $7,810 in campaign contributions; Creisher $10,725; and Bouche $7,940.

On the city council, John Kroll who is vying for District 1 against Carol Lukens took in $1,420 in contributions. Jo Ann Egelkrout in District 3 brought in $2,064.

In County Board races, Kim Ungerer took in $1,536 in contributions; Bobby Niemeyer took in $1,700; Cody Nikolai took in $326; Jennifer Aarrestad took in $1,585; Randy DeBroux took in $1,267; Stacey Morache took in $989; David Baker brought in $1,903; and Johnny Fortenberry brought in $1,700. No other candidates filed finance papers by the Monday deadline.

Balloon rally hosting pro log rolling contest next year The Taste n’ Glow Balloon Rally this year will host a professional log rolling competition.

Founders Nancy and Steve Woller told the city’s Room Tax Commission that the event will be filmed, is bringing in professional log rollers from around the country and will air on Fox Sports. Past shows were aired in Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota and northern Illinois.

The event was one of several to receive funding out of more than $90,000 from the city’s Room Tax Commission, which apportions the room tax dollars the city receives.

Nancy Woller says that several hotels in the area are already booked up for that weekend, and presents a real opportunity to market the area. The show costs about $15,000 to produce, she told the committee.

Referendum on the ballot Voters Tuesday will decide on whether or not to fund $119 million to help the Wausau School District renovate its buildings. That includes security upgrades, updates, building infrastructure and maintenance.

Dishonorable resignation The veterans board chair resigned following charges of possessing child porn Wisconsin Veterans Board Chair Curtis Schmitt Jr. is resigning after calls for him to leave his post following charges of possessing child pornography.

Schmitt yesterday issued Gov. Tony Evers a handwritten letter of resignation cast on an otherwise blank sheet of paper and penned with blue ink in all capital letters.

The news came just hours after GOP guv candidate Kevin Nicholson called on Evers to forcibly remove Schmitt from his post.

The guv appointed Schmitt in 2019 to serve a 4-year term.

Schmitt 38, of Franklin, pleaded not guilty to the three felony charges filed against him Jan. 23. He was charged in Milwaukee County. He told police he was addicted to adult pornography and sometimes received and downloaded child pornography, the Associated Press reported.

Nicholson, a Marine veteran and former Wisconsin Board of Veterans Affairs member, in a letter to Evers said the guv should consider his correspondence a formal complaint by a resident taxpayer. Nicholson said that would allow Evers to forcibly remove Schmitt from his position.

Conservative attorney says election decertification has no purpose Conservative Attorney James Bopp told an Assembly committee efforts to decertify the results of the last presidential election in Wisconsin serve “zero legal purpose.”

Bopp, who has represented former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman during his investigation into the last election, told an Assembly Elections and Campaigns public hearing yesterday the chance to decertify passed after Jan. 6 last year.

Gableman has asked lawmakers to “take a hard look” at decertifying the results of that election. Bopp led multiple lawsuits seeking to disqualify hundreds of thousands of votes from predominantly Democratic cities shortly after the last election.

“You had the authority in late November, alright? If you felt that the election was so corrupt, and that the results needed to be, you needed to intervene, you could have intervened,” he said. “You had the power under the Constitution, and that would have been respected; and certified your own electors.”

Gableman attended the hearing, but did not speak. Gubernatorial candidate and Rep. Tim Ramthun, R-Campbellsport, and former Menomonee Falls Village President Jefferson Davis were among those attending the hearing who have advocated for decertification.

Bopp added he feels there were significant irregularities with the last presidential election and he’s upset about it too, but seeking to decertify the results is a fruitless endeavor.

Evers is expected to exceed former Democratic Gov. Patrick Lucey’s 457 pardons well before the end of the year.

According to the Legislative Reference Bureau, GOP Gov. Julius Heil issued over 900 pardons during his time in office, including 486 in his first term from 1939 to 1940. LRB told WisPolitics.com it is still in the process of compiling pardon records as far back as 1850.

WI GOP House delegation attempts to submit new Congessional maps Wisconsin’s GOP members of Congress have asked state justices to give them the chance to propose a new map after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected their challenge.

Wednesday’s filing came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court, without comment, denied House Republicans’ request to overturn Gov. Tony Evers’ map, which the state justices approved earlier this month.

In that 4-3 ruling, the state Supreme Court picked Evers’ map for Wisconsin’s congressional boundaries, finding it most closely followed the core retention principle the justices used to evaluate the proposals that had been submitted.

Yesterday’s motion to reconsider seeks the chance to submit a new map that Republicans argue would follow the core retention principle more closely than Evers’ proposal did.

The court in November told the parties to submit maps that followed a “least change” approach to the lines Republicans drew in 2011. It then selected Evers’ map because it moved fewer people from their current districts than the GOP plan.

Prior to this month’s ruling selecting Evers’ map, the court rejected an attempt by the House Republicans to amend the map that had already been submitted.

In yesterday’s filing, House Republicans argued it would take just an hour to draw a new map that better followed the core retention principle than Evers’ proposal.

Evers names new pardon board members, issues new pardons Gov. Tony Evers appointed two new members to his Pardon Advisory Board and issued 33 pardons.

That adds up to 449 pardons during his time in the East Wing.

Of the 33 new pardons, the majority pertain to drug offenses and theft.

If you are taking a required minimum distribution (RMD) from a retirement account and want to donate to a charity, you may be able to make a qualified charitable distribution from your account to the charity and avoid paying income tax on the distribution.

Another way you can donate your retirement account is to name the charity as a beneficiary so that after you die, the retirement account is given to it. By donating the retirement account to a charity, it is able to use the money without incurring income tax liability. Additionally, since the charity will not have to pay income tax on the distributions from the inherited retirement account, it will receive a larger benefit from the account than an individual would.

Giving to your favorite charity is not only beneficial for society but also has some potential tax benefits for you as the donor. Call us to learn more.

County, Kronenwetter concerns connect at candidate’s forum Candidates for Kronenwetter Village Board and nearby Marathon County positions made their cases March 29.

At the village’s municipal center all but Joel Straub came together to take on questions from residents. Chris Voll, Rick Seefeldt, Randy Fifrick and Dave Baker were there for the county seats while Jordyn Wadle-Leff, Timothy Shaw, Jason Holmes, Ken Charneski, Tami Bloch and Danielle Bergmann talked about how they’d serve Kronenwetter if selected as board trustees.

The first question was to this second bunch on how to increase business in Kronenwetter. Charneski said he would like to see the village be more accommodating than it may be now.

“I’ve heard of some issues where people expressing interest have not exactly been as welcomed as they should,” he said.

“We should be developing incentives, tax breaks, things like these.”

For Bloch, though she did not have a plan, she questioned whether the community had incentives and whether they were making them as known to interested

businesses as they really could be.

“Maybe they are not advertising them enough,” Bloch said. “Maybe people like Ken said are not being welcomed with open arms to bring businesses here. Those would be things I’d look into.”

Later the conversation turned towards how the Marathon County Board operates and recent initiatives like the “Community for All” resolution from 2021. The question asked to the candidates wanted to know if they would avoid social issues if elected. All said they would.

“This is one of the reasons why I am running,” Baker said. “We are trying to recruit candidates focused on economics and fiscal responsibility. We are trying to change the board so it is more fiscally motivated, not politically. None of the Kronenwetter candidates are involved in this.”

Fifrick said this was part of a change he had seen during his recent time on the board and hoped for a return to non-partisan activity. He did note though the issue caught a lot of attention, the board still looked at other issues during this time and could still look at similar resolutions later.

“I have seen a change,” he said. “I think

Candidates for Kronenwetter Village Board and for county board seats representing Kronenwetter spoke at a candidate forum Tuesday. (Evan Pretzer)

it is important that in my time there were some political discussions but I am here to tell you the rest of the year we were talking about road improvements and services.

There is the opportunity for discussions like that in committees.”

Another person raised the issue of staffing in Kronenwetter’s offices. The Village has had a lot of turnover in two years with more than five quitting. Wadle-Leff said this has been caused by the current board and said officials were holding the area back and costing it competence.

“In conversations with multiple of those individuals the majority of those we have lost have been due to our current board,” she said. “It’s very frustrating when you can’t rely on your leadership and you cannot count on them to move the village forward. We’ve lost a lot of good talent.”

Shaw expressed similar opinion. He said he did not know what was going on internally and could not guess, but did note the employment market is intense now and called for exit interviews, which he has heard has not been a thing instituted by administration as of filing.

“I think that is absurd,” Shaw said. “You should look at these people, talk to them as they go and figure out what is going on.

That would be a great benefit. This is obviously a great concern.”

After this conversation turned back to County. The audience wanted to know what the group’s thoughts were on the expansion of the area’s broadband and Voll said this had his backing.

“I am not on the particular committee, but I will do the best I can to keep pushing

it for the village,” he said. “We have had a tower here I think it was 18 months ago it went up. In our particular District 23 there are certainly some areas where there’s room for more.”

Seefeldt said this was something he would also support and noted his broadband was good for the most part and hinted the county was close to finally being fully wired, if all goes well.

“I am hoping with the providers we work with we can get internet through the whole county.”

One final question for the evening was on diversity and inclusion for the trustee hopefuls. They were asked about a “Community for All” resolution and for Holmes, Kronenwetter is already a welcoming place and social issues are the kind of thing local boards should work to avoid.

“A lot of young families are coming in,” Holmes said. “I view it as a social issue.

I think we are non-partisan and should stick to what we are doing. I believe we are welcoming as we are.”

Bergmann expressed a similar view. She noted the community is already fairly welcoming but, as a new candidate, she would have to research the issue more before she could give an answer.

“There are pros and cons to everything, you have to kind of research to know more,” she said. “I would have to get more details on the pros and cons to really be able to dig into that question.”

COUNTY BOARD BATTLE

Voters in more districts than not have a choice for who represents them on the county level There’s a good chance next Tuesday that you will have two people to choose from for county board. That’s because more than half of the 38 seats — 19 in total — are up for reelection.

That includes eight of the 11 districts that cover Wausau. But metro and rural districts also have contested races. There will be at least eight new board members who have never served before, and the potential for 23 — more than half the board — to be new.

We sent questionnaires to the emails provided by the county clerk, and last week resent the questionnaires to anyone who hadn’t responded yet. We didn’t hear from everyone, unfortunately. Looking around at other previews, it was pretty common City Pages always took pride in interviewing all the candidates for office over the phone or in person, but this time around with only one editorial person and nearly 100 candidates in contested races this election, questionnaires are the only feasible way to do it. It’s imperfect — but we do our best in imperfect situations.

Take note that the districts changed a bit as a result of the redistricting that happens due to

the U.S. Census every ten years. Log on to www. myvote.wi.gov to find your polling location and who is on the ballot.

Here are the candidates competing for your vote:

DISTRICT 1

Christopher Wood

Michelle Van Kray (incumbent), 32, is an administrative assistant with the city of Wausau. Besides seeking her second term on the county board, she is the former chair of the Bridge Community Clinic Garden program committee and the Schofield Beautification Committee. Her priorities for the next term are being proactive versus reactive, spending ARPA funds wisely, continuing broadband expansion and engaging Marathon County Residents Christopher Wood, 27, works for a lawn care company. Wood says he was called to run by the heavenly father and says

there is a plan to rebuild society from the ground up. Wood’s priorities are to revolutionize local politics and he plans to hold regular meetings with constituents, building transparency and community. Wood says he would actually like to meet with residents weekly if not more often to thin the veil between government and citizens.

DISTRICT 2

is president of the Wausau Festival of Arts and as a parent of three says gives her insight into the needs for child care and demands parents face.
