Dear Reader, What did you do today?

What did you do yesterday?

What will you do tomorrow?

By virtue of living in the United States of America, we can do, think and say just about anything we please, as long as it doesn’t diminish the rights of our neighbors – who also are doing as they please.

Why? Because our forefathers fought and died to make our Country independent of tyranny and oppression. As we all know, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence and it was ratified by the original 13 colonies on July 4th, 1776. Then they set to work defending the principles it contained against an invading aggressor.

John Adams, sensing the historical significance of this event wrote to his wife Abigail that it “will be celebrated by the succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival (and that the celebration should include) pomp and parade…games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.”

So rejoice and celebrate our freedom in this world. We can be grateful that we do not live in Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran, countries that are ruled by tyrannical despots who disregard the rights of men and women to exist peacefully. And while you’re at it, say a prayer for all those in our armed forces who fought or are currently serving.

They deserve our gratitude for their sacrifices.

Happy Independence Day.

Ownership of retirement assets such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and 401k plans should never be transferred to a trust. Doing so can result in serious negative tax consequences for the plan’s owner. However, under some limited circumstances, it may be advisable to name the trust as either a primary or a contingent beneficiary of the retirement plan.

It is crucial to understand the tax consequences of naming a trust as a beneficiary of such a plan. Often, the tax consequences must be balanced against the plan owner’s desire to protect the proceeds of the plan from the risks of potential lawsuits, divorces, bankruptcies, or other creditors of the beneficiaries.

Coordinating the beneficiary designations on your retirement plans to complement your estate planning is extremely important, and you should discuss any changes with your attorney prior to making them.

Mountain CHANGE

The observation tower on Rib Mountain. A draft plan that will add uses to the park could soon be available.

DNR releases preferred options for Rib Mountain master plan The Department of Natural Resources released a set of preferred options to be included in its updated master plan for Rib Mountain State Park.

The Department of Natural Resources decided in 2019 to redo its master plan for the park after a plan by Granite Peak to amend the park to add more ski runs stalled out of citizen concern around maintaining more natural area. The revamp of the master plan will allow for more or expanded uses of the park from its current state.

Residents have until today (Thursday) to

submit further comments on the preferred uses for the park before DNR staff develop a draft master plan. Residents will also be able to comment on that draft plan.

Preferred uses include: • Trails for recreational biking and hiking, single-track mountain bike riding and winter fat biking • Adding more hiking trails and a parking area at Grouse Lane (which leads to the Turkey Vulture trails) • Adding a multi-use trail for cross-country skiing • Allowing bouldering in designated areas and allowing technical climbing (with ropes and gear) • Adding a small rustic camping area • Constructing a nature area • Improving the amphitheater area to allow for more uses Interestingly the DNR’s current preferred recommendations around downhill skiing suggest that it should hold off making a decision until an evaluation of how climate change will impact downhill skiing at Granite Peak.

The plan also includes expanding the boundaries to include land that would help connect Rib Mountain State Park with Nine Mile Forest and Recreation Area, and other land that would allow for future expansion of the park.

The DNR anticipates having a draft plan ready by Spring 2023, with the final version to follow public review of the plan.

Lo was not present at Monday’s meeting.

As of Wednesday morning, no resignation letter had been received by the district.

School board member resigns, calls board ‘toxic’

Police arrest driver for 7th OWI, hitting utility pole

A member of the Wausau School Board resigned this week, and though not the reason for her resignation, called the board “toxic.”

Ka Lo sent a letter to media members that she was resigning effective immediately. Lo said she was resigning to take a job offer outside of the area, making her ineligible to serve. Lo however pointed to what she said was “the toxicity, disrespect and indifference of school board members and their friends and supporters directed towards myself” since 2021.

Lo’s term was to end in April 2023. The board will need to replace her seat, either through special election or by appointment.

Wausau police arrested a man on charges of a 7th offense driving while intoxicated Saturday morning, police say. And that came after knocking over a utility pole.

A man driving a red Chevy SUV struck a utility pole on the northeast side of town 6:25 am Saturday. Police were alerted to a disabled car elsewhere in the city, and those who reported the vehicle said its driver was urinating in a nearby park. Police saw the front-end damage and connected the two incidents.

Gregg Kandutsch is facing a 7th offense of drunken driving, according to police reports.

If convicted, Kandutsch could face up to 121/2 years in prison and a maximum fine of $25,000.

BSN buys Eastbay Team Sales business Ka Lo, right, speaks at a press conference in 2020. Lo announced to the media that she was resigning her school board seat, but district officials say they never received a resignation.

Finance committee approves wage study, wage increase and retirement notice incentive

More applicants applied for a Community Outreach Specialist position that would work with the homeless than the city’s open police officer positions.

Wausau Police Chief Ben Bliven says that 40 people applied for the role, which is a non-police officer position to replace the one held by Officer Eric Lemirand. The person in the position would work with the city’s homeless population and work on getting them into housing. Bliven said the city received only 20 applicants for the city’s four currently vacant police officer positions.

Lemirand had acted as the city’s homeless liaison officer but was reassigned in January. The number of calls police respond to downtown has increased dramatically over last year.

Bliven says the city received applicants from out of state, as well as many with impressive education and experience on their resumes. The department will screen the number of applicants down to the 25 best for interviews, and narrow those to 4-6 for final interviews.

City workers will likely be getting a raise this year, and the city will study how its wages compare. And that comes on the heels of the city losing an unprecedented number of employees.

The city’s Finance Committee Tuesday voted to approve a 2% mid-year cost-ofliving adjustment for city workers. The committee also voted to fund a wage study that could cost as much as $80,000. And, it approved a plan to incentivize retiring workers giving at least six months of notice.

The changes come on the heels of the latest data around workers leaving city hall.

According to data provided by the city’s HR department, the number of people either resigning, retiring or being fired has increased every year since at least 2018.

Separations in 2022 are projected to be the highest for employees leaving yet.

That comes on the backdrop of employees nationwide leaving their jobs in unprecedented numbers. More than 40 million people left their jobs last year, according to the New York Times — a phenomenon many are calling The Great Resignation.

The wage adjustment would cost around $230,000, but that and the wage study very likely can be covered by the cost savings from having vacant positions. City hall had 25 vacant positions as of the end of May, though some positions such as the parttime bus operator positions were converted to full-time positions in order to bolster recruitment.

City-owned contaminated site eyed for city fleet facility The city-owned former west side business incubator site recently had some developers interested, but that was put on hold while the city studied contamination on the site. But now the 1300 Cleveland Avenue property is once again being considered for the city’s fleet maintenance facility.

Public Works Director Eric Lindman spoke about the need for a new facility at the city’s Capital Improvement Program committee meeting. And Chair Lisa Rasmussen brought up the site as a potential location for it.

City receives number of applicants for community outreach position

Weston residents asked to curb water as PFAS escalates The Village of Weston is asking its residents to cut back on water use after the village recently shut down another well.

Weston officials said Thursday that they shut down Well No. 4 in response to new tests detecting higher-than-state recommended PFAS levels. That leaves two village wells shut down after Weston officials shut down Well No 3 in March.

Wausau announced in January that high levels of PFAS were detected in all six of its wells. PFAS is a chemical by-product of many everyday products that can be hazardous to human health. Many municipalities including Weston announced results of similar tests following Wausau’s announcement.

Weston officials say they will start treatment of Well No. 4 in August which will remove PFAS from the well. Weston leaders are asking residents to do less lawn watering until the wells can be restored to service. Too much lawn watering might force the village to reopen the wells before they’re treated in order to keep up with demand.

The site had been put out for bid, with four entities submitting proposals for the site. But concerns over environmental contamination on the site led the city to hold off handing the site over to a developer.

Some council members are concerned about using the site as an industrial use because it would mean a lower standard of cleanup is required.

Rasmussen says she wants to see the Cleveland Avenue site considered for the project. “I know it’s a whole lot of drama in the council chamber but it was a good plan and close to the site we already occupy,” Rasmussen says. “At what point do we allow one or two people to drive our bus?”

Finance Director Maryanne Groat suggested the idea be put to a referendum.

Evers: more executive action is possible following Roe v Wade reversal Beyond granting clemency to doctors in Wisconsin, Gov. Tony Evers says more executive action is possible in the wake of Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban now in effect.

“This is a big deal for our state,” Evers said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics.com. “We’re going to do whatever we can, whether it’s executive action, whether it’s legal action, you name it. We’re going to be there.”

Evers said his administration remained briefed throughout the weekend on protests and said he received no intelligence of any violent protests planned in Wisconsin in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision.

“I’m sure people are going to voice their way,” Evers said. “They should. But at the end of the day, I always say that violence doesn’t solve any problems, and I anticipate the people that do protest will do it peacefully.”

Evers also blasted U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson.

The Oshkosh Republican came under heavy criticism from Democrats this past week for being named by the Jan. 6 committee at the center of a plan to deliver a slate of false Republican electors from Wisconsin and Michigan to Vice President Pence.

Evers said he was completely unaware Wisconsin’s Republican electors privately met at the state Capitol the same day the governor and Democratic electors certified the official results.

Roe v Wade overturning triggers 1849 abortion criminalization The U.S. Supreme Court decision Thursday overturning Roe v Wade has triggered Wisconsin’s 1849 law criminalizing most abortions.

The decision means Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will have to stop performing abortions immediately due to today’s SCOTUS ruling. The abortion rights group last week told WisPolitics.com said it would not schedule any abortions after June 25.

Dem AG Josh Kaul has said he won’t devote any Department of Justice resources enforcing Wisconsin’s 1849 law. It criminalizes most abortions as a Class H felony.

That 173-year-old law now takes effect in Wisconsin since protections in Roe v Wade were overturned, most legal experts say, although it is likely to be challenged in court.

According to a report from the Legislative Reference Bureau, the original ban applied to abortions after the time the fetus could be felt moving in the womb, but an 1858 change effectively banned abortion at any stage of gestation.

Wisconsin’s abortion ban includes an exception to protect the life of the mother, but no exceptions for rape or incest.

Gableman testifies to deleting records in election probe Former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman testified he deleted 2020 election probe records even after open records requests were submitted and worked out

of a public library during a time he said he was bedridden with COVID-19.

The testimony came during a hearing yesterday in which Dane County Judge Bailey-Rihn found Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and the Assembly have met all requirements to avoid being held in contempt and there are likely no more documents to be gained.

Bailey-Rihn in issuing her decision said the hearing made clear whatever work Gableman did to investigate issues with the last presidential election as ordered

by Vos was minimal. She also said Gableman’s testimony was “interesting” as much of what he said contradicted evidence presented in documents his office and Vos’ provided to liberal group American Oversight in response to its open records request from July and August last year.

“What I have heard today is whatever work that was done was minimal, that taxpayers were paying $11,000 a month to do,” she said. “Documents were disposed of, which may or may not be a separate issue.

And frankly I think at this point there’s no more documents to be gained from this.

Any documents that were contrary to what fit in the scheme of things were destroyed.”

One of the contradictions Bailey-Rihn referenced came when Gableman, in response to a question from American Oversight attorney Christa Westerberg, said he was “solidly in bed for two weeks after Aug. 13.” He said he was diagnosed with COVID-19 immediately after leaving MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s election integrity symposium in South Dakota.

GOP guv candidates vow to remove DAs who don’t prosecute abortion ban Three of the GOP candidates for guv vowed to remove any district attorneys who refuse to prosecute violations of Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.

They also focused their sharpest barbs on wealthy construction exec Tim Michels, who skipped Monday night’s forum in Green Bay. In the wake of Friday’s Supreme Court ruling, Gov. Tony Evers has vowed to grant clemency to anyone who violates the ban.

Meanwhile, Dem AG Josh Kaul said he wouldn’t use Department of Justice resources to prosecute crimes related to the ban. And the DAs in Dane and Milwaukee counties have said they won’t enforce it.

Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and businessman Kevin Nicholson sought to expand the question to vow the removal of DAs who don’t meet their standards on other issues. Nicholson said he would fire any DAs that “participate in misconduct” such as refusing to charge offenders appropriately.

Kleefisch, meanwhile, added she’d remove those who refuse to prosecute election fraud. And state Rep. Tim Ramthun, R-Campbellsport, said allowing DAs to decline prosecutions for violations of the 173-year-old abortion ban would only encourage others to do the same.

Barnes edges Godlewski in latest straw poll In the WisPolitics.com straw poll, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes edged state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski among activists who cast votes on their preferred candidate to win the party’s nomination for U.S. Senate.

Barnes was favored by 121, or 32.4 percent, of the 373 delegates and registered guests who cast a vote for U.S. Senate in the straw poll, while Godlewski was backed by 119, or 31.9 percent.

Barnes and Godlewski both touted the results. Barnes tweeted, “Honored to have your support and excited about the grassroots movement we are building together.”

Meanwhile, Godlewski spokeswoman Sarah Abel said the results show “no one should underestimate Sarah Godlewski. Voters were able to look at the candidates side-by-side this weekend and compare who they are and what they each stand for -- and they are lining up behind her just like we said they would.”

Alex Lasry, on leave from his job with the Milwaukee Bucks, got 15.5 percent, while Outagamie County Exec Tom Nelson tallied 9.4 percent.

Writing Wausau’s

By B.C. Kowalski

ABC s

ea into a website id an ed rn tu n ke ol W Cheryl nts are enjoying re pa u sa au W at th ok and a bo

When Cheryl Wolken first moved to Wausau in 2014, she hadn’t ever been to Wausau. She’d hadn’t even been to Wisconsin, except for a trip or two to Madison.

When her husband applied to a job in Wausau, she had to look it up on a map.

“When he applied to a job in Wausau, I didn’t know where it was,” Wolken told City Pages.

That was 2014. Today, Cheryl Wolken is becoming a Wausau institution. Her website, wausaumama.com, has grown leaps and bounds since then, and becoming a major resource for parents looking for something to do with their children in the Wausau area.

You could say Wolken wrote the book on Wausau from a parent’s perspective — because she literally did just that. And it’s for children. Wolken released The ABCs of Wausau earlier this year, and the book is selling well.

It’s starting to get her some recognition around town, for her book and website. It’s all the result of years of building a brand and generating content consistently for her site.

Wolken is working on a sequel to the book along with marketing and selling her book, but she sat down with City Pages for an interview about her work.

Filling a need When Wolken first moved to the Wausau area, it wasn’t necessarily easy to find all the children’s activities a young parent would want to have at the ready. Over time,

she learned the ropes of navigating the city as a parent.

But wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of resource that would make it easier on future families who move to the area? It surprised her that there was no site dedicated to guides for parents to the area. The Twin Cities alone had four such websites.

But Wausau had none.

A couple of years after her son was born, Wolken found herself with some time at home and wanted to put it to use. That gap was there, so Wolken decided to go for it.

She’d done some database work and had a pretty good handle on technology, and liked learning new things.

“I took everything I learned in the past four years finding things on my own and I made them into a website for parents,” Wolken says.

Rocky start Though she had some technology background, Wolken says building and running a website was something pretty new to her. “It was a pretty cool learning experience, figuring out how to do it on my own,” Wolken says.

The launch was particularly challenging. She had everything ready to go, and announced that she was launching the site.

Then it went down for an entire day. “It was stressful at the beginning,” Wolken says.

“I put this out there and then it was like ‘ope, nope, not available,” Wolken told City Pages.

It was just a challenge to overcome, and with some tech support the site was up and running again. And the problem was solved so that it wouldn’t happen again.

Wolken says she’s built the site so that it has broader appeal than just for parents with children. She likes to highlight events that will have appeal to a wide audience, even parents with older children.

There’s been some surprises too. She has a page about midwives and doulas, and it’s been surprising popular. There aren’t a number of those providers in the area, but parents tell her they appreciate the resource. “I had a lot of people comment-

ing that they appreciate that page,” Wolken says.

Her site is the No. 1 result on Google for the search term “wausau kids activities” and her seasonal guides do really well too.

She has more than 2,000 Facebook followers, had 67,000 page views in 2021 and advertising revenue has continued to grow.

And now there is a book.

Writing the book on children’s Wausau Much like the way the website came together, Wolken saw city specific books in

other cities she traveled to, but no one had done one on Wausau. The books would be ABC-style books that focus on different locations, and help children remember something about the area they live in or visit while associating them with the letters.

With a son now in school, and more time to devote to such projects, why not do one for Wausau?

The book launched earlier this year, with a map by Crystal Barker and featuring a mural

by Jessica Kolpecki on the back. People can buy the kindle version through Amazon for use on devices, or buy the print version online or through several local retailers.

Besides Janke Bookstore, the Marathon County Historical Society, the Center for the Visual Arts, the Greater Wasuau Chamber of Commerce, the Children’s Museum and the Bump Boutique have the book.

So far, she’s gotten positive feedback and even been recognized occasionally on the street. “Parents tell me they think it’s cool there is a book about Wausau,” Wolken says. “Parents tell me kids love the book and want them to read it to them a little more than they might want to,” Wolken says, laughing.

Jane Janke told City Pages that the book has sold really well — Wolken has been in to do a book signing already, and they’ve sold a couple hundred copies already.

“It’s really well done,” Janke says. “Even people who don’t know about her, just traveling through have picked it up.”

The book is the only she knows about that focuses on Wausau and children — former City Council Member Romey Wagner

wrote a book called The Cheesehead Night before Christmas, though it didn’t necessarily have a Wausau focus. Janke points out that it’s not necessarily just a children’s book. “It could be a great souvenir of all the things Wausau has to offer.”

Kids usually have a favorite page in the book, Wolken says. “It’s fun to hear which pages really speak to people.’

What’s next for Wolken? She’s actually planning another children’s ABC book — this time about Stevens Point. She’s working with Portage County’s Surge business program, which has about 25 different businesses and startups from throughout central Wisconsin.

Wolken doesn’t know a lot about Stevens Point yet, she says. But that was once true about Wausau too. Like Wausau, she plans to learn.

Wausau Mama’s

tip for best spot for families:

I asked Wolken about a favorite spot to bring kids, or a hidden gem in the area. She pointed out Rib Mountain, which she thinks many know about but often can be underrated. And she pointed out that the mountain now has a new playground, installed last year, that ’s great for families with children.

MUSiC BiN

Review by B.C. Kowalski

Zola Jesus’s latest is a masterpiece on par with Okovi Zola Jesus | Arkhon | Sacred Bones Records I arrived home last week to find a weirdly-shaped package wedged into my mailbox. Confused for a second, my eyes widened when I realized what it was: Zola Jesus’s latest album.

In case you’re wondering who exactly that is, Zola Jesus is probably the most famous active musician from Wausau right now. (She lives somewhere between Merrill and Wausau, in a house she built in the woods near her parent’s house.)

Her real name is Nika Danilova, and she attended Wausau West before embarking on a music career that took her around the world, only to return a few years later to the area. In a 2020 interview she told City Pages she connects with the people here more than the superficiality of L.A. Under the name Zola Jesus, she has toured the world, is regularly written about in music publications such as Stereogum and Pitchfork, and plays festivals and small arenas.

I first became aware of her myself late in the game, in 2020. A friend mentioned her to me, asked if I’d heard of her, and suggested I do a story. I threw her music onto my

June is Dairy Month!!

Spotify app as soon as I got home and was blown away.

It’s a bit hard to explain her music — in my interview with her in 2020 she described it as experimental and unapproachable. I can see what she means — but there’s a core sincere musically amongst the dark, swirling synth tones.

There are some melodic elements of pop, and of her classical opera training (her voice is deep and powerful).

Goth synth pop is perhaps the label I would use if I had to try and label it.

When I bought Okovi on vinyl, it really knocked my socks off — music often sounds better on vinyl but her 2017 album jumped off the disc in a way I hadn’t experienced before. In a later interview (you can find it as episode 50 of the Keep it Wausome podcast), I asked her about it, and she said her record label, Sacred Bones, specializes in vinyl.

So all that is to say I was excited to take Zola Jesus’ new album, Arkhon, out of my mailbox.

Much like the first time I listened to Okovi, Arkhon similarly hit my like a brick to the face. The lead track, Lost, had already been released and its pulsing breath track underneath the melody stuck in my head for days. The melodies of Undertow, the third track, really shine on the first side.

In our 2021 interview, Danilova talked to me about being more collaborative this time around — including adding a producer. Besides writing and singing, Danilova is also skilled at the beat-making and synth side of the equation, but this time she worked with a producer, Sunn O)))’s Randall Dunn, to create the new album’s sound. Dunn also played synths on the album, according to Stereogum’s short review anyway.

If I had one thing to say about the album, it’s that the second side of the album (thinking in vinyl terms) seems to slow down a bit and lose steam. It’s still enjoyable but doesn’t quite pack the same punch as side A. In the first few minutes, I wondered if Arkhon would be a contender to Okovi for Zola Jesus’ best album yet. If it were based on the first side, I would be happy to say yes, indeed.

The music packs such a punch it’s hard not to like it.

But that shouldn’t discourage anyone from buying the album. It’s a solid entry into the Zola Jesus canon and easily one of her best. Pitchfork be damned.

NOW LEASING!

here. All are Wisconsin-made, for sale and Alicia says the supply of signs, plates and unique pieces is constantly shifting.

“People are buying what we are displaying and it is a great problem to have,” she says.

“I am constantly texting my consignors and saying ‘OK, hey guys, we need to go out and get some more stuff.’ One of our baristas, she even makes hand and lip scrubs from our coffee grounds.”

Future plans include a potential flea market in the facility’s parking lot, bringing in food trucks and collaborating with other businesses in the area. The welcome the site has seen has been moving for Doug and he says they would not be as busy if not for this sort of kindness.

“It has been very reassuring to us,” he says. “People have told their friends and this is helping.”

The endgame includes passing the project on to someone internally or letting an outsider learn the business alongside the pair so they can fully retire in the future.

For now, each day is an adventure and, if people come in to get pickles, Alicia delights in explaining it is not their role. “[The name] actually comes from a lifetime management theory,” Alicia Gjertson says. “It is really important to prioritize so tasks and things you want to do in life all fit in a jar. It is philosophical, but we love to tell people. We still have meaningful dreams to continue to contributing to the community and making money. Plus, it is also a much more fun name.”

The Pickle Jar Grinds & Finds is open from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is open from 8:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, closed on Sundays and can be reached at 715–298-2406.

Doug and Alicia Gjertson used to date in high school, but went their separate ways.

Thanks to Facebook, the couple reunited nearly a decade ago — and now they’ve been running a new business, The Pickle Jar Grinds & Finds café in Wausau, since May. The Pickle Jar, which features baked goods, bagels and drinks, opened up on 4308 N. 6th St. Word of mouth has been strong, demand has been high and, while successful, it is not something the pair raised in Iowa set out to do at first in their lives.

“We dated in high school,” Doug Gjertson says. “I graduated, went my way and she went her way. We reconnected [online] when she was in Minneapolis and have been married nine years.”

After tying the knot, they resettled in a home together in the community. They kept noticing the current building that now houses the Pickle Jar sitting vacant and deprived of life when out and driving around.

It has been a hair salon, a place to go and buy pizza and initially the Gjertson’s did not think they could do something with it at this point in life. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic and a night of drinks changed their views.

“We were reevaluating life and what to do for a living,” Alicia Gjertson says. “Some of our finds, my friend and I really wanted to do that, but places to rent are very expensive. So, we spent one night with too many Old-Fashioned’s at BB Jacks and said ‘hey, what about coffee? There is nothing here for a quick-stop community place.’ It’s been fun to see it come to fruition.”

Those who walk in are immediately presented with a quaint and rustic space befitting a country antique store. The menu includes items such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, smoothies and lattes. Seating including a classic table beckons passers-by to sit, rest and relax. The repurposed, reclaimed and crafted items are on the walls and shelves
