Birthdays

N11839 St. Hwy. 73 Owen, 7 Miles South of Withee - 6 Miles North of Greenwood

Dear Reader, Recently I celebrated a birthday. At my age, this has become a dubious honor, with a certain amount of playful teasing from family and friends. I am as young as I feel, which on most days means feeling bright and vital. And yet, while some of my friends are stubbornly continuing to ply their trade, others are slowly winding it down.

In a way I am living in two worlds. Those who see me without knowing me might believe me to be much more of a boy than I really am because I’m still in the thick of crusading on campaigns, some meaningful and others silly. Yet on my honest days, I feel like I’m cobbling my body together to do this work, realizing as I go that some things don’t work as well as they used to.

In the end, I guess it doesn’t matter much since we all end up on one side of the spectrum or the other depending on how nobly (or ignobly) we lived our lives. But every morning we wake up and try again…which is noble in and of itself.

As with cash accounts, you should work with your financial advisor to complete the necessary paperwork to retitle investment accounts in the name of your trust.

A certificate of trust will normally be necessary, and in any event, the financial institution can refer to the information in the certificate of trust to properly complete its required paperwork.

Generally, life insurance and annuities should name your trust as the primary beneficiary and your spouse, partner, or children as contingent beneficiary. To make these changes, contact your insurance agent to obtain the appropriate beneficiary designation forms. Some companies allow you to make the change online. Make sure to get a written confirmation when you complete the process so that you have proof of the changes you made and when you made them. Keep the confirmations with your other trust documents.

PFASolution The good news is the new drinking water plant will reduce PFAS; the bad news is that a long-term solution will cost $16 million cals can be dangerous to human health.

The Environmental Protection Agency currently has an advisory of 70 parts per trillion, but state agencies put out new recommendations of less than 20. The EPA is now considering levels below 1 part per trillion. That’s less than the labs the city works with can even detect, says Public Works Director Eric Lindman.

Meanwhile, the city gave out water pitchers that filter PFAS and is working on getting more filters into the hands of residents.

The new plant is slated to begin operation in August. Though it will reduce PFAS to below 20 ppt initially, that won’t last forever. City leaders aren’t entirely sure for how long. Getting the GAC system in place could take 18-24 months.

position and, ideally, have some overlap so the retiree could help train the new recruit. The city has had six retirements to date, according to a report from the city’s HR department. Overall the city has been seeing more employees leave every year, either due to retirement, resignation or termination.

The city offers a $2,000 signing bonus to recruits to new positions within the city; Vanderboom is proposing a similar incentive to retirees to give a six-month notice. It takes about three to four months to fill a position, Vanderboom says.

The proposal would actually save money in the police department, Vanderboom says, because it would reduce needed overtime to cover vacant positions, but in other departments that might not be the case, she says.

The provision will need approval by the Finance Committee and City Council.

Staff to start negotiating greenhouse proposal, but questions surfaced City development staff will start negotiating a sale agreement with a developer who wants to turn the former Wausau Chemical building into a greenhouse and event space. But some are questioning the sales price.

Mathew and Kristen Aschbrenner proposed to turn the city-owned building into a greenhouse/event space called Infused, which would include a greenhouse growing various herbs and mints. The proposal got a positive reaction at the city’s Economic Development Committee earlier in the month.

Asch Properties proposed to buy the building for $40,000 and put at least

$250,000 into the building. Members of the Economic Development Committee lauded the investment into that area and that they weren’t asking any city incentives or for the building for free, as developers often do.

But some city council members are questioning the sale price. City Council Member Doug Diny asked about the current assessment, which he believed to be much higher than $40,000. City assessor Rick Rubow confirmed at last week’s city council meeting that the property was last assessed in 2019 at $382,000.

The property has sat vacant since Wausau Chemical moved in 2017. A proposal for a new barrel house and kitchen incubator proposed before COVID never materialized.

Man facing homicide charges in Merrill woman’s death A man originally facing lesser charges is now facing first-degree intentional homicide in the death of a Merrill woman.

Tanner H. Graap, 28, of Merrill, is now being charged with first degree intentional homicide in the Jan. 18 shooting death of Kayla M. Frank. New charges filed by the Lincoln County District Attorney state that Graap “did cause the death of Kayla M. Frank, with intent to kill.”

The good news is that when the new drinking water treatment plant turns on later this summer, it will be ready to filter PFAS to levels between 12-15 parts per trillion.

The bad news is that it’s temporary; and a longer-term solution will cost around $16 million.

Wausau Water Works Commission Monday voted to direct staff to start working on a long-term solution to the PFAS problem, which means eventually upgrading to a granular activated carbon system.

The GAC is more expensive than other solutions such as an ion filtration system, but it’s likely new regulations on other contaminants will pop up in the future, says Commission Member John Robinson.

The GAC system would filter those too.

It’s possible the city could only be on the hook for $6 million of that money. The city could receive money from a Congressional earmark for as much as $5 million and could get a DNR allocation of another $5 million. Getting either or at the full amount is far from certain, however.

The city in January announced it had discovered levels of PFAS, a set of chemical byproducts from manufactured items, in all six of the city water wells. Those chemi-

Five new and much more serious charges now replace the former charges of homicide by negligent handling of a dangerous weapon and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon that were filed against Graap in January.

Graap is now charged with: First degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, with two modifiers as a repeater; First degree reckless homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, with two modifiers as a repeater; Possess firearm-convicted of a felony, with two modifiers as a repeater; Second degree recklessly endangering safety, use of a dangerous weapon, with two modifiers as a repeater; and a second charge of second degree recklessly endangering safety, use of a dangerous weapon, with two modifiers as a repeater. The two recklessly endangering safety charges relate to the two witnesses who were also in the home on E. Fifth St. at the time of the shooting.

If convicted of first degree intentional homicide, Graap faces life in prison, and if convicted of first degree reckless homicide, he faces up to 60 years in prison. With the addition of all of the other charges and the repeater modifications, if convicted, Graap would be prohibited from being placed on probation and would face many additional years in prison to be tacked onto any initial sentence, along with periods of extended supervision to be applied should Graap ever be released from prison. He also faces financial penalties of up to $50,000 if convicted of counts four and five. (Merrill Foto News)

Fight leads to formal expression of concern for northside eatery The owners of Newch’s Eatery appeared before the city’s Public Safety Committee Monday following a fight in March at the establishment.

The fight, which police say began March 20 during a birthday party at the establishment, involved as many as 15 people. Police say a number of patrons drove away when police arrived, and they found broken beer bottles and blood on the floor, bottles with serving spouts outside the bar area and a keg in the middle of the floor. Video appeared to show someone in possession of a gun on the premise, according to the police report from the incident.

Newchee Lor, the business’s owner, told the committee he had a new manager in charge that day and that she’d only just been promoted. Lor told the committee he wanted to focus more on the restaurant side and would make sure it didn’t happen again.

The establishment received 100 demerit points from the Wausau Police Department, which triggers a letter of concern from the committee and a required appearance. Chair Lisa Rasmussen told Lor that if things don’t improve, the committee could consider suspension.

The city’s first dog park, opened last year, will reopen soon. The park shut down to restore the grass.

Dog park could open soon Wausau’s dog park started the spring closed, but is slated to open soon.

The dog park closed earlier this spring in order to restore the grass and to add agility equipment to the park.

Parks Director Jamie Polley says that the small dog area has since opened, and that the grass is starting to come in on the main dog park field. The planned shelter will also be built soon, when parks staff has the time to build it.

Wausau opened its dog park officially last year, the first in the city. Rib Mountain and Weston also have dog parks.

Environmental cleanup of Riverside Park could happen this year Environmental cleanup of a contaminated city park near Thomas Street is likely to happen this year, according to city staff.

The Department of Natural Resources is reviewing a report about how to clean up Riverside Park and, when complete, will allow for environmental cleanup to take place.

That will likely occur this year, says Public Works Director Eric Lindman. According to environmental firm REI’s report, the park will be cleaned up via soil excavation.

Current alderman Tom Kilian first raised alarms about Riverside Park contamination as a citizen and founder of Citizens for a Clean Wausau, and tests revealed levels of dioxins in exceedance of DNR standards.

GREEN bills Dems propose climate change legislation that builds on Evers’ green energy plan

Milwaukee Dems Rep. Supreme Moore Omokunde and Sen. Chris Larson presented a framework for future legislation building on Gov. Tony Evers’ clean energy plan.

The lawmakers, joined by climate advocates from Citizen Action Wisconsin, said yesterday the developing package will be introduced during the next legislative session. Moore Omokunde praised Evers’ clean energy plan and said he and Larson aim to codify tenets of the plan into law.

The climate proposal includes measures to: *Set greenhouse gas emissions standards for 2030 and 2050 to comply with the Paris Climate Accords; *Transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy; and *Establish a program to hire workers displaced by the transition to renewable energy with long-term, green energy jobs.

Also included are previously introduced bills that did not receive a hearing in the GOP-run Legislature. The bills aim to help Wisconsinites save on energy costs, particularly those struggling the most

from the effects of climate change.

Larson noted the storms in Wisconsin this week and severe weather across the country to demonstrate the severity of climate change.

“This is a constant reminder from the planet that we have altered the ecosystem to a point where we need to be doing something about it to address the existential crisis of climate change,” Larson said.

Cruz calls Wisconsin ‘pivotal battleground’ Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz will be in Milwaukee on Saturday, headlining an event meant to mobilize Republican voters ahead of the midterms.

“It absolutely underscores that Wisconsin is a pivotal battleground,” Cruz said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics.com. “It has been a perennial purple state. It is a battleground. The road to a Senate majority comes through Wisconsin.”

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson is expected to speak at the Saturday event as well.

“Ron, I believe, is going to win,” Cruz said. “But it’s going to be a close and contested race, and reelecting Ron Johnson is a big part of the way that Republicans retake the Senate, and I think we’ll retake the House as well.”

Cruz wouldn’t speculate on his 2024 ambitions as he promises to campaign in key battlegrounds ahead of November.

“I’ll tell you my focus is 2022,” Cruz said. “Between now and Election Day, I’m going to be on the road almost nonstop campaigning in closely contested races for the Senate, closely contested races for the House.”

The head of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin says all legal options are on the table if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

Judge fines Gableman for ‘unprofessional behavior’

Among other things, Remington wrote in yesterday’s order Gableman made misogynistic comments about a fellow attorney.

A live microphone captured comments Gableman made during a recess in Friday’s hearing sarcastically impersonating the judge and suggesting that American Oversight attorney Christa Westerberg could “come back into my chamber” so she could dictate what she wanted. Remington called Gableman’s behavior an “affront to the legal system” and denounced his “sophomoric innuendo” that Westerberg wasn’t capable of litigating without the help of a judge.

“The circus Gableman created in the courtroom destroyed any sense of decorum and irreparably damaged the public’s perception of the judicial process,” Remington wrote.

Wikler: Dems will offer sharp contrast to GOP at convention State Dem Chair Ben Wikler cites a noticeable difference at his party’s convention this weekend compared to Republicans’ May event.

Dems aren’t trying to eat their own.

With no endorsement process, little drama is expected when Dems gather in La Crosse Saturday and Sunday ahead of the midterm elections. They also don’t have

nearly as many incumbents facing primary challenges — 13 Republicans to just one Dem — and there aren’t debates over whether to decertify the 2020 election results or admonish a party leader.

Instead, Wikler says the public will see a party that’s fired up and unified.

“It really is a study in contrast with the Republican Party where politicians and activists are eating their own,” Wikler said in a new WisPolitics.com interview. “For Democrats, it’s clear we’re a party united by our values, which are Wisconsin values.”

It’s also a party facing a major headwind blowing out of Washington, D.C. President Biden’s job approval numbers nationally have been in the upper 30s and low 40s, while gas prices have set a string of record highs with little relief in sight and inflation is a persistent problem. It has Republicans talking up the chances of a “red tsunami.”

But Wilker sees a series of flawed GOP candidates on the ballot this fall. The Republican primary for guv is “brutal” with the candidates “all leapfrogging each other into the right-wing fear swamp.” U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, is a “uniquely problematic candidate” who has “served himself at every turn and abandoned Wisconsinites.” And 3rd CD Republican Derrick Van Orden is “one of the most toxic nominees in Wisconsin” who’s on probation for trying to bring a gun on a plane, is accused of yelling at a young librarian over an LGBTQ book display and used campaign funds to travel to the Jan. 6 violent protest at the U.S. Capitol.

letter to President Biden seeking help from the federal government in response to threats of violence and intimidation aimed at school board members. The letter added some of the actions could be classified as “domestic terrorism” or hate crimes.

The group later apologized to members, but the WASB in November withdrew from participation in the national organization’s programs, activities and lobbying efforts.

The WASB couldn’t terminate its membership at the time because it had already paid dues and there was no mechanism for a refund, the state organization said at the time.

In Monday’s message, the WASB wrote those actions “needlessly harmed school board relationships and inflamed partisan tensions.”

The WASB Board of Directors voted on Friday not to renew its membership for the 2022-23 school year, and more than half of the nation’s state school board organizations have distanced themselves from the NSBA or dropped their membership.

FIRE END

A fire truck in a small Portage County village broke down at a fire last month - and it’s not the first time as the department comes to an end

Last month, a fire call summoned the fire department in the little village of Park Ridge in Portage County.

The department was called to the town of Stockton, part of a mutual aid call the small volunteer department was used to responding to.

Their fire truck made it to the fire on May 10 in the town of Stockton in Portage County. No one was hurt in the fire. But Park Ridge’s fire truck, built before Jimmy Carter was president, didn’t make.

“It’s the first time we had to call a tow truck,” nowformer Park Ridge Fire Chief Brian Lepper tells me on a Thursday afternoon at Emy J’s in Stevens Point. “It’s not the first time we had a truck experience a mechanical failure on an emergency scene.”

Lepper is explaining to me why no one was particularly surprised at the breakdown. For one, it’s the department’s oldest truck, built in 1974. Lepper tells me when they needed parts for it, the parts dealers assumed that a truck that old must be used for ceremonies, parades and such.

They’re always shocked to learn it’s actually a service truck used in live fire scenes.

It’s the oldest of the small village’s three trucks, but none are exactly new. They also have a 1980 fire vehicle and a 1993 one. In other words, the department’s newest vehicle is nearly 30 years old, and its oldest is getting close to 50. If they were cars, they’d all qualify for collector’s plates.

The breakdowns are an embarrassment to the village, and to the firefighters who volunteer their time to the village’s department. It’s a symbol of a fire department left in decline by its village for years. Lepper himself put in his four month notice in February, and now several of the department’s volunteer firefighters are leaving.

CiTY PAGES

June 23-30, 2022

It’s not likely the department will be able to recruit any new volunteer firefighters. After all, they only started paying anything under Lepper’s insistence when he became chief — and that pay is much lower than other volunteer departments. Another advantage those departments, such as Plover’s, have is newer equipment that’s more exciting to young firefighters.

It’s another story of neglect of a fire service, something critical to public safety. This is what residents pay taxes for. City Pages reported recently on how the Wausau Fire Department hadn’t seen a staffing increase since the 1970s, despite call volumes doubling in the last two decades alone.

That seemed unbelievable to many who heard it. But for all those struggles, the struggles smaller departments face is worse — as materials and equipment costs, not to mention labor cost, continue to rise, more and more departments are merging.

So it’s interesting that a village of just a few more than 500 residents still has its own department. But probably not for long.

Years of neglect Park Ridge is a small village completely surrounded by Stevens Point; many probably don’t know about its existence. Its population is a little more than 500 people. If you’ve visited Stevens Point, you’ve probably driven past it without knowing you’d done so.

City Pages recently met with Steve Menzel. Menzel was elected to the village of Park Ridge in a recall election that saw several Park Ridge elected officials ousted.

The fire department was a pretty big source of that recall, he says. Residents didn’t feel listened to. When the

village decided to build a new fire station that year, many residents didn’t think it was the right move. It’s not that the fire department didn’t need the building — plus new trucks and other equipment — but some felt the village should be taking a step back to decide whether it even should have a fire department in the first place.

As both Menzel and Lepper explain, the department itself has about eight fire calls per year in the actual village. Most of the calls to which the department responds are aid calls outside the village — Stevens Point, Plover, Hull, etc. Unlike in Marathon County, in Portage County ambulance calls are handled by the county, contracting with various fire departments.

Some residents, including Menzel, signed on to a lawsuit over alleged open meetings violations - a zoning change that would have allowed the fire station was done without a public hearing, residents alleged. The frame of the building was on its way to the village when the injunction halted the project.

Park Ridge spends $47,000 per year on its fire department. The total village budget is well under $1 million. So it’s easy to see how it might be challenging to maintain a fire department and buy new fire trucks and a new building. It means borrowing a lot of money, and while interest rates are still pretty good, that money needs to be paid back.

Both Menzel and Lepper agree that the village never properly planned for equipment replacement. That’s not a recipe for success. The department has had multiple vehicle failures in the past. The most recent incident, on May 10, saw the village’s 1974 truck towed from a fire scene in Stockton.

Long- and short-term solutions Would it make more sense to contract with other municipalities? The village hired a consultant to assess just that. Menzel says by August the village should have a long-term plan for its fire department, whether that means keeping it or not.

But meanwhile, Menzel says they need to come up with a short-term solution. Chief Lepper will be gone by July after resigning, the assistant chief resigned earlier this month, and of those surveyed by Menzel about whether they would be staying, only three responded as of last week. Of those, only one is staying.

Lepper didn’t give a much more optimistic assessment of whether firefighters would be sticking around. “A handful of firefighters asked me how to handle their resignation,” Lepper told me. He said he didn’t think it was appropriate to advise them on the matter.

A couple of firefighters turned in their resignation after Lepper did, he said in a late-May interview.

Consolidation of fire departments and municipal cooperation are becoming the new trend. Rothschild and Schofield merged to form Riverside Fire District in 2017. Weston and Rib Mountain merged their departments to form SAFER Fire District prior to that.

It’s not just cost savings on equipment and other shared expenses, though that’s a big part of it; it’s easier to maintain staffing levels when two staffs are combined.

I thought this story about Park Ridge would be interesting because it possibly serves as an example of a little fire department that stuck around despite the trend; though it’s likely the end for the department. It’s hard to imagine the consultant hired to study the issue will suggest keeping the fire department, because of the enormous costs involved and the difficulties in recruiting at this point. (Though contracting could come with its own costs, such as the need to upgrade some roads for the larger trucks of other departments. Lepper says one of the village’s roads have been chip-sealed so much, that’s all that’s left.)

And in fact, with so few firefighters left anyway, keeping the fire department probably isn’t an option.

Menzel said that the village should have a long-term plan in place for the fire department by August. In the short term? That was in progress when City Pages interviewed Menzel.

The village board had a special meeting one week ago, and authorized Menzel to take “all steps necessary” to secure an agreement with the city for fire protection service. The city of Stevens Point’s Police and Fire Commission took up the proposal in closed session Monday and agreed to draft an agreement to provide fire services for the village. That draft would still need approvals from both municipalities.

YOUR LETTERS Wausau needs a chief of staff/administrator Dear Mayor Rosenberg, we are still waiting. About six weeks ago, I suggested that you should share your plans to make city hall a better place with the community in an op-ed. To date, no serious ideas have been forthcoming, despite mounting evidence that a pivot is needed.

By any objective measure, your administration appears to be in turmoil. Here are a few headlines by month: February: You went toe-to-toe with your Director of Public Works, publicly airing your disagreements over the status of Wausau’s water.

March: Your Director of Finance was caught red-handed acting as a agent for Wausau Opportunity Zone, LLC, (WOZ) and hiding debt from the public and policymakers while running her own lobbying effort to get the state legislature to exempt Wausau from its Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) debt limit.

April: Your three-attorney legal department let you go forward with a half-baked idea for an executive committee that might not even be legal.

May: Your Economic Development Director put out a comically incoherent compellation of private sector investment in the site of the former downtown mall.

June: A member of the city council contacted the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and found out that the information on PFAs that your staff has been providing is incorrect.

It seems like it is always something. Is city hall going to just bump along from crisis to crisis for the next two years, or do you have a plan to change things?

To be fair, you did advance the idea of forming an executive committee. However, the track record of problemsolving by committee is not very good. Committees are usually only as good as their chair. Instead, a chief of

We Have Your Trees

staff would arguably do a better job of coordination than a committee. If the executive committee and another round of “No Mow May” are the best ideas you have, it is going to be a long two years.

It is time to come up with a plan. June marks the beginning of the 2023 city budget planning process. One of the decisions you will have to make is whether to put a city administrator or chief of staff position in your 2023 budget or not. It is a binary choice. Either the position is in or it is not. But, in either case, you should be prepared to defend your decision and articulate your strategy for making city hall work better.

It has been seven years and three mayors since Wausau voted 52-48 not to hire an administrator in a referendum.

Back in 2015, city debt was only about $50 million; today it is closer to $225 million. A simple survey of headlines from the past seven years should make it clear that it is time to rethink and reassess the path we are on. We can keep changing mayors every four years, hoping to get better results. Or, we can get serious about investing in an organizational structure that coordinates the efforts of senior staff and holds them accountable for doing their jobs.

This is not an unusual request. The President of the United States recently penned an op-ed to the Wall Street Journal on his inflation-fighting plans.

Wausau needs to know what the plan is. Ignoring problems will not make them go away.

Keene Winters Wausau

Inflation signals time for green energy These are some tough times. Inflation at a forty-year high, so painfully evident at the gas pump and in the grocery store; record-breaking heat waves, wildfires, drought, and flooding, both in the U.S. and around the world; heat-trapping carbon dioxide at a four million-year high in our atmosphere. What do we do?

Some folks say we should double down on oil and gas production. But then we’d also be doubling down on the heat waves, wildfires, flooding, and drought, to the long-term detriment of everyone.

Instead, how about doubling down on our transition to a clean energy economy? It will be financially challenging, but ultimately less so than having to pay for the ever-increasing costs of climate-related disasters, and in the long run, we—and this planet we all live on—will be much better off.

Our parents/grandparents/great-grandparents faced some tough times.

Having endured the Great Depression, they found themselves immediately confronted with the challenges arising from World War II. They met those challenges by rationing gas, food items, and a host of other goods and materials; growing victory gardens; paying higher taxes to finance the war effort; and for some, making the ultimate sacrifice. They did it all with that most admirable “can do” attitude, for the ultimate benefit of all of us.

Are we up to taking on these tough times in a manner that will benefit our children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren? I think we are. As Rosie the Riveter once said, “We can do it!”

CHALKFEST

SUBSTYLE Together, We Can

Event in Bevent

FRIDAY 6/24 | WHITEWATER MUSIC HALL, WAUSAU

SAT.-SUN. 6/25-26| ST. LADISLAUS PARISH, BEVENT

Russia’s war against the Ukraine has left devastation and destruction across parts of the country — no matter one’s view on the situation, it’s hard not to feel for the impacts on ordinary people in the country. Whitewater Music Hall is partnering up with guitarist Harold Melo to put on this show with other area musical artists. The evening will include bands The Station, The Short Pay Riders and Substyle, the latter two for which Melo plays guitar. An immigrant of Peru, Melo has been wowing audiences with his guitar playing — the guy is a virtuoso and an encyclopedia of guitar and music theory knowledge. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the show will go toward supporting humanitarian efforts in the Ukraine. $10. 6:30 pm.

Maybe planes and chalk aren’t your thing, or you’re just in the mood for something a little more old-fashioned and out in the country. Then the Event in Bevent is just the right thing for you. Blessed with perhaps the best event name around (to this day it still amuses me), the event features polka masses, food, train rides for the kids, raffles, a bounce house, beer bar and pull-tab games. There’s a charcoal chicken dinner and they sell their famous homemade noodles. Plus polka music. If you’ve never, ever been to Bevent, this is your jam. Starts at 4 pm.

Wings Over Wausau

FRI.SAT. 6/24-25 | WAUSAU DOWNTOWN AIRPORT, WAUSAU The Balloon Rally and Rib Fest held annually at the downtown airport used to be considered Wausau’s Big Weekend - it drew thousands to the city’s Southeast Side neighborhood. That even became Taste n’ Glow Balloon Fest and is now held in the town of Stettin just outside of Wausau.

So Wausau Events came up with a new event starting this year: Wings over Wausau. The two-day event will see a vintage car show, drone demonstrations and flying, an airshow featuring local pilots and planes, kids activities, food vendors and live entertainment all day. Wausau Events moved Chalkfest to coincide with the weekend too, so it’s the city’s best attempt at another big weekend. $5 per family, or free with donation of non-perishable food item to The Neighbors’ Place.

Chalkfest

SAT.-SUN. 6/25-6 | 400 BLOCK, WAUSAU Every year around this time (and now a little earlier, to coincide with Wausau Events’ new Wings Over Wausau event) the 400 Block downtown becomes a little more colorful! Once again artists will pay their fee, get their buckets of chalk and head down to the 400 Block to create sidewalk art. And really, the talent of some of the artists who participate is truly outstanding. In fact, it’s not uncommon on a Sunday or even Monday morning to see folks taking a stroll to admire all the artwork before it’s washed away. (The city pressure washes it at some point because otherwise the residue causes some real problems.)

Paired with Wings Over Wausau, Wausau Events is aiming to make this its Big Weekend. $22, less expensive options for children. Free to observe.

Copperbox

SATURDAY 6/25 | BULL FALLS BREWERY Speaking of polka related music, you probably already know of Copperbox from their many appearances on the 400 Block during Concerts on the Square. The zydeco, accordion-armed band has delighted audiences for a long time now. They’ve shared the stage with some truly big names, including The Doobie Brothers, Peter Frampton and Robby Krueger from The Doors and Huey Lewis, to name a few. Their members individually have been nominated for multiple Wisconsin Area Music Industry awards.

It’s more typical to see them performing on big stages and at festivals, so this is a chance to see them a little more up close and personal. 7 pm.

31ST ANNUAL MIDWEST RENEWABLE ENERGY FAIR

31st Annual Midwest Renewable Energy Fair

FRI.-SUN. 6/24-6/26 | MREA HEADQUARTERS, CUSTER The Midwest Renewable Energy Fair is one of the largest such fairs around. You never quite know what, or who, you’re going to encounter at the energy fair but you’ll meet some of the most interesting characters. It’s an experience. But besides that, if you have any questions about setting up any kind of renewable energy system or the like, this is the place to go to talk to people who have a lot of experience. Plus there is always a unique selection of food vendors, and all kinds of exhibits and keynote speakers. This is actually the first fair since 2019.

The theme in 2020 was to be “The Future is Electric” but post pandemic/global supply challenges, the MREA chose “Powering the Just Energy Transition.” $45 weekend pass, $20 for one day, discounts for youth, seniors, members.

available to all Monday. There will be outdoor offerings, a free first class for people new to the experience and monthly memberships ranging from $150-75 alongside individual classes at $13.50. Ladin has ideas for the future but, for now, hopes it gives people what it brings her each and every day.

“I think this brings an opening to people’s eyes of what they are capable of,” she says. “Maybe this ends up being something you didn’t know you wanted or needed in life. I want people to embrace themselves, to be proud and own who they are on the inside and on the outside.”

Belle Force Barre Studio can be reached at the Belle Force Barre Studio LLC page on Facebook. Their number is 715-4320883 and they are open Monday through Friday from 4:30-8:30 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, they are open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The COVID-19 pandemic, health struggles generally and time can make anyone change. Tevia Ladin has handled each and hopes to use that experience to help others at her new workout studio.

Since May, the Wausau area resident has been in the process of developing the Belle Force Barre Studio at 900 Grand Ave. in Schofield. The facility is having a soft opening Saturday and those interested can get free tickets to it on Eventbrite. The class presents a low impact and high intensity program which infuses movements of ballet, yoga and Pilates.

Ladin did not intend to become a Barre teacher. She previously performed corporate logistics work in the Chicago region.

But then, life gave her new plans and an illness scare to boot.

“After I moved [to Chicago] I found out I had a rare muscle cancer,” Ladin says.

“It derailed me from seeing the city and really exploring and seeing what Chicago has to offer. I had three surgeries, was off work for almost five months, doing physical therapy three times a week and the doctors said I would not be able to bend my knee past 90 degrees. I was like, ‘heck that’.”

So, from there, Ladin went to work. She worked hard in therapy, can now bend her knee 140 degrees and it was on her journey to wellness when she discovered the workout program she is offering locally. It is something which is all over and is in other Wisconsin communities like Appleton. As the COVID-19 pandemic started shifting many norms, she thought about it more.

“I thought ‘I think I want to do this.

This is a passion. I don’t want to be in a corporate job,’” she says. “I really dove in, learned, went to classes every single day, taught myself and fell in love.”

After moving back to the Wausau area, Ladin got pulled in other directions as anyone can and she put off her project as she reconnected with old friends and family. The work was not moving in the way she thought it would and she began to miss her former community. But, once finding her space in Schofield, she got goosebumps, electricity and knew making a space for people to change themselves and discover new horizons cannot be tossed aside easily.

“It was like euphoric. A ‘this is it’ thing,” Ladin says. “Once I saw the space I had my vision in my head. I knew it was gametime and so the lease was signed in January and we got to work.”

Equipment is now in place, a contracted employee has been hired and the classes Ladin put blood, sweat and her tears into getting herself ready to offer people will be
