Your guide to the winter season

EDiTOR’S NOTE Be thankful for what you have, while you have it Amron, A Division of AMTEC Corporation

Putting together Part II of the Winterbook special section made me think about just how much stuff there is to do in the Wausau area. That’s something to really be thankful for.

On-Site Interviews On-Site Offers • All Positions

One of the things I learned, unfortunately, is that the speedskating club has folded. I had once skated in the club, and it was fun; but also, it was pretty expensive. The club always seemed caught in a catch 22: ice time is very expensive, so the club either needed a lot of members paying a smaller fee, or a few members paying a larger one. It’s hard to get a lot of members if your fees are high, but if you don’t charge high fees, well, someone has to pay for that ice time. If too few people pay the smaller fees, that leaves a pretty big ice bill.

In a column by Keith Uhlig last year, it appears that people are starting to distance skate on river and lake ice, which is common in Nordic countries.

And you’ll see from the guide that there are plenty of places to fat bike. It’s sad to see the club go, but at least there are plenty of other winter sports in the area to take its place.

Buddhism teaches impermanence of all things, and it’s a lesson I continue to learn. It’s also a good reminder to be thankful for what we have, while we have it. That’s all we have in the end.

“What exactly fits within the HEMS standard?” is a common question. Health and education are pretty straight forward but maintenance and support are more ambiguous. They generally refer to a beneficiary’s standard of living.

For example, if the trustee distributes enough money for the beneficiary to purchase and drive a Ferrari when the beneficiary normally drives a Toyota, the trustee may be putting the trust’s tax and asset protection properties at risk by disregarding its terms.

The HEMS standard is widely used in drafting trusts for good reason. Used properly it can protect trust property from people who should not have access to it, such as creditors, divorcing spouses, and predators.

If you have questions about what qualifies as an appropriate distribution under the HEMS standard, please call us to schedule an appointment.

New library director named to replace previous director who resigned amidst allegations of a toxic work culture

DCE super to retire next year

D.C. Everest School District’s superintendent will be retiring next year, she announced last week.

Kristine Gilmore plans to retire from the post June 30, 2022. The D.C. Everest board last week accepted her retirement notice, following 19 years as superintendent.

Gilmore started with the Gilmore district in 1997, taking a job as the D.C. Everest Junior High Principal and athletic director. She then worked as the Evergreen Elementary School Principal and the D.C. Everest Middle School Principal before coming superintendent.

“Dr. Gilmore has always championed the needs and wellbeing of our students, staff and community,” D.C.Everest School Board President Katie Felch said in a press release. “To serve those interests, she has led our district in becoming an early adopter of technologies that provide learning opportunities for all students, redefined how we measure student achievement, ensured staff have ample opportunity for advancement and professional

A babysitter charged with the death of an infant in her care was found guilty last week following a plea hearing.

Marissa Tietsort pleaded no contest to charges of child abuse—intentionally causing harm as a repeater and firstdegree reckless homicide.

Tietsort was arrested in October 2018 after police say she was babysitting an infant and it died in her care. According to police reports, Tietsort wrapped up the infant and put a hat over the child’s eyes, to return the child to its mother without telling her about what happened, even taking the time to eat at McDonald’s. She made no effort to call for help or try to resuscitate the child, police reports say.

While in custody, Teitsort wrote a letter to the judge saying that she wasn’t a monster, is a great mom and is loved by many.

Tietsort prior to last week’s plea hearing had changed her plea to not guilty by reason of mental defect, even after a judge had found her mentally fit to stand trial.

A sentencing hearing has been set for March 8.

candidate from Colorado, Library Board President Sharon Hunter told City Pages. “We are excited that Leah applied again and made it through the selection process,” Hunter told City Pages.

Roughly six months after the Marathon County Library Director resigned amidst toxic work culture allegations, the library now has a new director.

The library announced last week that Leah Giordano would be the new library director.

Giordano had previously worked at the library and served as the interim director while the Marathon County Library Board worked on filling the role.

Giordano The position opened after the library board began an investigation this year into former library director Ralph Illick, over claims the library had become a toxic work environment under his leadership. Illick resigned in May, as did his business manager.

The employee who initially brought the complaint to the board was fired after the investigation revealed he’d been harassing other library employees as well.

Giordano joined the Marathon County Public Library staff in 2014 and worked as the library services director until taking the role of interim director May 20. Before moving to Wausau, she worked at the Detroit Public Library and the Eastpointe Memorial Library in Eastpointe, Mich.

Giordano was a finalist in the first search for a new director, but the board elected to broaden its search because it didn’t feel like it had seen a large enough pool of candidates to be satisfied. Giordano was again a finalist for the position after the second search, up against a

Rib Mountain passes chicken ordinance

she flees from the Callahan ranch in fear,” Lionsgate’s description of the film reads. “She’s rescued by gunman Billy Tyson (Brock Harris), who safeguards her at a remote outpost run by Ryker (David Deluise) as he staves off Jody’s attempts to reclaim his bride.”

D.C. Everest will hold a screening of the film 1:30 pm Sunday, Dec. 5 at the high school.

Chickens are now allowed in the town of Rib Mountain.

The town passed an ordinance last week allowing the chickens, pigeons, ducks and rabbits on lots that are at least 15,000 square feet in size, according to documents included in the town board packet. No roosters or geese are allowed under the ordinance.

The town will allow four chickens, ducks or pigeons, and two rabbits. Larger lots may allow more animals.

The ordinance came after the town received a petition of 60 residents asking for an ordinance. Many municipalities have been adding them. Wausau passed an ordinance allowing backyard chickens in 2017 after passing on a similar ordinance the year prior.

Arrest at post office was related to heroin

An arrest at the post office was related to heroin, and had nothing to do with the mail, police say.

Officers arrested a man at the Post Office on Forest Street last week on heroin charges, Marathon County Lt. William Stuart told City Pages. The person arrested was the subject of an investigation by the Central Wisconsin Narcotic Task Force.

The fact that he was arrested at the post office had nothing to do with the mail at all, Stuart told City Pages, though it garnered plenty of speculation on social media. The subject just happened to be going there when they arrested him, Stuart says.

D.C. Everest grad stars in Lionsgate release

A native of D.C. Everest High School has stared in a Lionsgate motion picture and the school will be featuring a special screening to celebrate.

Skylar Witte, a Wisconsin native who attended Altoona and D.C. Everest high schools, stared in a Lionsgate film Last Shoot Out, which is slated to release in select theaters, DVD and streaming, according to a press release by Lionsgate.

Witte, who now lives in Los Angeles, was crowned Miss Wisconsin in 2017 and competed in the Miss America pageant in Las Vegas. She got her start as a model who has twice walked during New York Fashion Week. She’s appeared in several commercials, TV shows and films. That includes a role in the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick.

deciding the redistricting case, including a possible trial beginning Jan. 18. The court also signaled it will rule on or around Nov. 30 on three questions it had asked the parties to weigh in on. That includes whether the justices should use a “least-change” approach to new maps as advocated by GOP lawmakers and whether the partisan makeup of districts is a valid factor to consider.

Meanwhile, a federal court yesterday added at least another month to the stay it issued in a redistricting suit to give the Wisconsin Supreme Court more time on the similar case before the justices. The order, issued before the state Supreme Court laid out a possible timeline, extended a previously issued stay until Dec. 6. The three-judge panel will then reevaluate whether it’s necessary to move toward a possible trial.

Gov. Tony Evers today vetoed GOP proposals to revamp Wisconsin’s legislative and congressional boundaries, all but ensuring the courts will draw the maps for the 2022 elections.

The move was widely expected after Evers had called on GOP lawmakers to start over after they released plans that would help lock in their majorities in the state Legislature.

In a video statement, Evers called the GOP maps “gerrymandering 2.0.”

“Elected officials shouldn’t be able to depend on the comfort of their seats instead of the quality of their work, and the gerrymandered maps Republicans passed a decade ago have enabled legislators to safely ignore the people who elected them,” Evers said in the statement.

The move comes a day after the state Supreme Court laid out a timeline for

A criminal defense attorney said the Kyle Rittenhouse case does not set much precedent in Wisconsin selfdefense law, but it is likely to have a greater “societal impact.”

Milwaukee attorney Craig Mastantuono spoke to “UpFront,” produced in partnership with WisPolitics.com, after a Kenosha jury on Friday acquitted Rittenhouse in the fatal shootings of two men during the protests and riots that rocked Kenosha after the police shooting of a Black man last year.

Mastantuono said the high-profile case will continue to have people talking about the questions it raised, especially around self-defense.

“In terms of people wondering whether self-defense is afforded fairly as a privilege across the board to all segments of our society, (that) is going to be something that people are going to continue to have debates about and use this trial, use this case, as a teaching point at best, and as a point of contention at worst, probably,” Mastantuono said.

He also said he thought civil litigation coming out of the Rittenhouse case is unlikely.

“That acquittal, I think, is a strong statement and you’re going to have to get an attorney to carry that litigation forward. Having said that, it’s possible somebody will pick that up and try to meet the burden with a lower burden of proof,” he said.

In another segment, an expert on the mental health of Black men and boys said it’s possible the Rittenhouse case, and other big trials that followed the deaths of George Floyd in Minnesota and Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, can cause post-traumatic stress responses in the Black community.

Alvin Thomas, an assistant professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at the School of Human Ecology at UW-Madison, pointed out that the Rittenhouse case stemmed from protests and demonstrations involving the Black Lives Matter movement.

“This was less an issue about black or white and more an issue around humanity,” he said.

The state’s troubled youth prisons are showing signs of improvement in at least some key problem areas, according to the latest court-ordered monitor’s report.

Monitor Teresa Abreu in her 11th report, which covers Oct. 14 through Sept. 30, noted improvement from partial compliance to substantial compliance in some areas, bringing to 12 areas in substantial compliance.

Most of the improvements came from areas related to strip searches because the facility maintained its youth inmate search policy implemented during the last reporting period.

Abreu also noted there were no youth inmates strip searched during the latest reporting period.

After her Oct. 14 visit to Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake and multiple virtual and in-person meetings, she also noted improvements in youth and staff attitudes and morale since the last reporting period. Abreu said increased structure for youth inmates through educational and other activities led to less antisocial behavior among youth.

She also said youth complaints at Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake over staff, food, education and confinement in the facilities present in the last report were absent this period.

“Youth did not make any of these complaints this site visit,” she said. “In fact, several youths spoke to the Monitoring team and indicated that the facility culture, programs, and safety is much better now compared to their previous commitments to the facility.”

Corrections Secretary Kevin Carr praised the progress.

“The steps this administration has taken at Lincoln Hills School/Copper Lake School have not always been easy,” he said in a statement. “However, I believe they were necessary to transform the schools into a facility where youth are provided evidence-based treatment and education, not just punishment.”

An ACLU Wisconsin spokeswoman told WisPolitics. com the state should still close the facilities, despite the noted improvements.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, highlighted several provisions of her Made in America Act that made it into the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure framework.

The legislation President Biden signed into law includes Baldwin’s language that requires new EPA drinking water infrastructure to be constructed using American made iron and steel if projects require those materials. Baldwin in a release said taxpayer dollars spent on projects should go to support American workers and American products.

“This bipartisan infrastructure legislation will support our made in Wisconsin manufacturing economy as we put people to work and move our economy forward,” she said.

“It will help make sure America is buying what Wisconsin makes, and I am proud to stand on the side of delivering results for our manufacturers and workers.”

Gableman considering broader 2020 election investigation

from all of us at 101618

CiTY PAGES

November 25-December 2, 2021

The Capitol Report, produced by WisPolitics.com — a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics — provides a weekly analysis of issues being debated in Wisconsin state government. It is underwritten by the WNA and produced exclusively for its members. WisPolitics. com President Jeff Mayers is a former editor and reporter for the Associated Press and a former political writer for the Wisconsin State Journal.

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Mike Gableman said he’s considering adding a fourth prong to his 2020 election review after watching the Racine County Sheriff’s Office announce results of its own investigation.

During an Assembly Campaigns and Elections Committee public hearing on Nov. 10, Gableman said watching the event where Sgt. Michael Luell joined family members of alleged voting fraud victims in a local nursing home spurred him on. He said his team may widen the scope of its investigation to include longterm care facilities.

“It really moved me when I saw that press conference,” he said. “That really put a human face on it. That is when I resolved to myself: we will find out, we will find out.”

Gableman testified before the committee as he released an interim report on this work. He said his work has focused on three things so far: The influence of outside money on Wisconsin elections. Five of the cities targeted for subpoenas received the bulk of the private grants from a group largely funded

by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to help cover the costs of putting on an election during a pandemic.

Issues with the Wisconsin Elections Commission and the authority of clerks.

Gableman said part of that is a deeper look at who runs elections in Wisconsin.

Voting machines. He said his review will look at aspects of voting machines that weren’t covered by the Legislative Audit Bureau in its report.

The hearing was at times contentious. At one point, Rep. Mark Spreitzer, D-Beloit, said the former justice is “frankly one of the people undermining voter confidence.”

Gableman called the charge ridiculous and “one of the most absurd things I’ve ever heard.”

In the 26-page report, Gableman says he already has evidence that private groups gave large grants to Wisconsin cities to “co-opt our election apparatus to their benefit.”

He wrote his office has drawn no conclusions after its initial information gathering.

Still, he also questioned the Legislative Audit Bureau’s description of how municipalities utilized outside help in administer-

ing last fall’s elections. Gableman’s interim report quotes from the audit released last month.

The LAB report noted one municipality indicated a consultant attended the August 2020 primary as an observer, helped to modify the community’s election training materials, and provided technical assistance for electronic voting equipment while at least five poll workers monitored the help at all times.

The nonpartisan agency noted a second municipality indicated a consultant provided logistical support and offered elections administration recommendations, but didn’t have the authority to make decisions and didn’t count ballots.

“This cursory reporting is concerning, because it substantially waters down already-public information relating to the involvement by a number of private groups in election administration, and it suggests problems were raised and adequately resolved by clerks and (the Wisconsin Elections Commission),” Gableman wrote.

Gableman later added his office has already uncovered evidence that raises questions if the involvement of private groups turned nonpartisan government agencies into get-out-the-vote operations.

The report touches on a series of issues that former President Trump and his allies raised as they unsuccessfully sought to overturn the election results after Joe Biden won Wisconsin by under 21,000 votes.

For example, Gableman says his office has evidence there were “numerous possible violations of state law” with Madison’s Democracy in the Park events in September and October 2020 as paid poll workers collected absentee ballots in city parks.

Gableman wrote those possible violations call into question the validity of more than 17,000 absentee ballots.

Various courts rejected Trump’s efforts to have those votes thrown out.

In the report, Gableman disclosed he has issued 17 subpoenas. He also wrote his office has taken steps to “initiate an open and full technical audit of various voting systems to understand and report on the security of these systems.” The $676,000 taxpayer-funded budget that Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, approved for Gableman’s probe includes $325,000 for a data analysis contractor.

Gableman also wrote in the report that if his office obtains information that could be used in a criminal investigation, it will cooperate with law enforcement.

The Capitol Report is written by editorial staff at WisPolitics.com, a nonpartisan, Madison-based news service that specializes in coverage of government and politics, and is distributed for publication by members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

TV REViEW

Review by B.C. Kowalski

Tiger King Season 2:

I hope you weren’t hoping for closure (Netflix, docuseries, 5 episodes) It was the perfect TV series for its time.

People were already in a pretty weird place when the bizarre cast of characters that comprise the world of big cat people hit our Netflix screens. The pandemic had gone from being something we heard about in the news to the main focus of our reality. Schools, businesses, events: all closed down.

And then this guy, the Tiger King, was staring at us from our Netflix screens. We happened to have plenty of time to invest ourselves into the very strange life of Joe Exotic: a gay, gun-toting, mulleted, country meets cat print-clothed owner of a big cat ranch tourist attraction. With the pandemic raging outside, somehow Joe Exotic and his strange battle with another big cat rancher, Carole Baskin, seemed a little more palatable than thinking about COVID-19. At the time, we had no idea how long it would last, or what its impacts would be. At least Joe Exotic and all his ridiculousness were safely tucked away inside our television sets.

Safely tucked away is how we find Joe Exotic on Tiger King season 2, which just dropped on Netflix. At the end of the first season, Exotic found himself in the hoose-

gow for plotting the murder of Baskin, his rival tiger ranch owner. Which, duh. Making videos about how you want to kill someone, firing guns on facsimiles of them on film, tends to make it pretty easy for someone to set you up. (Either as in legitimately giving you the rope to hang yourself with, or in the sense of falsely accusations — we’ll see in latter episodes that’s less clear.)

Without giving too much away, the first episode is kind of a jumble of clips showing us what has become of the various cast members of the first season. As you might have guessed, a hugely popular Netflix special brought an enormous amount of attention to Exotic’s ranch, the new ranch owned by Jeff and Lauren Lowe, and to Exotic’s ex-employees. Exotic comes to us in the form of interviews from behind bars, and the remaining cast has mixed feelings about that. And those feelings change throughout the series.

The end of episode one hints at resurrecting the Baskin murder mystery — remember much was devoted to the disappearance of her husband, Don. As you might recall, a large chunk of the first season of Tiger King centered on Don’s disappearance and Joe’s insistence that she killed him. That takes up

Help Lives Here

a pretty big chunk of season 2 as well, and we learn A LOT more about Don than we did the first go through. In fact, Exotic seems to disappear into the background as the Baskin mystery takes center stage, with a jail interview interspersing some of Exotic’s thoughts on the situation. (But at this point, do we put much stock in it?)

We also learn a little more behind the effort to get Exotic pardoned, including a strange intersection with the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Overall I have very mixed feelings about the second season of Tiger King. Love or hate Joe Exotic, there was value in producing the first season. We learned about this whole crazy world of tigers and other big cats and the crazy cast of characters who own them.

SPECIAL GUESTS CASSANDRA TRENARY & CALVIN ROYAL III

And the rise and fall of Joe Exotic himself is definitely a story worth telling.

I was ready to dismiss season 2 as mere pandering - and like most sequels, it pales compared to the original.

But it also came at a time of doldrums for Netflix. Aside from the recent Korean-made Squid Game, what other Netflix series have we been talking about lately? Like Tiger King, which filled our suddenly time-filled, holed-up lives with entertainment, season two found a time when not much else has been popping up on streaming. And while the final episode was a bit unsatisfying, it did go in a direction I didn’t expect.

Season 2 isn’t the Tiger King we want, but maybe it’s the Tiger King we’re bored enough to settle for?

HIGH

LIGHTS

By Kayla Zastrow

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Jr. FRI.-SAT. 11/26-11/27 | UW CENTER FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, WAUSAU

This is Central Wisconsin Children’s Theatre’s annual Thanksgiving weekend production, which never fails to be a fabulous way to spend time with the whole family. The holiday classic Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer soars off the screen in this musical adaptation of the beloved television special. Filled with holiday hits like “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” this show teaches us that what makes you different can be what makes you special. Because of his shiny nose, Rudolph doesn’t feel like he belongs in Christmastown and sets off to find a place that accepts him. Along his journey, he encounters fellow misfits, only to realize that home is where he has belonged the whole time. When a storm threatens to keep Santa’s sleigh from taking flight, it’s up to Rudolph to save Christmas! Shows at 2 pm & 7 pm. $15 adults, $13 seniors and children.

Details and tickets at mycwct.org.

Marshfield Rotary Winter Wonderland OPEN DAILY 11/27-12/31 | WILDWOOD ZOO & PARK, MARSHFIELD

Decorating for the holidays means hours of hanging up, like, a million lights. Maybe you feel that way, but it’s not hyperbole for the Marshfield Rotary. The group sets up literally two million lights throughout the zoo and park, and it really is a wonder to behold.

Trees, snowflakes, pretty presents, archways, gingerbread houses, animated displays and more are wrapped in or created entirely from strands of glowing lights. Dress to stay warm! You’ll be outside for at least an hour walking through numerous displays.

A driving route is available, though you won’t get nearly as many close-up experiences.

Open daily 5-9 pm. Admission is free, but food and monetary donations are encouraged to help local food pantries around Marshfield. Full schedule of Gingerbread Jamz musical performers and other details at RotaryWinterWonderland.com.

Intermission 20th Anniversary SATURDAY 11/27 | INTERMISSION, WAUSAU

The Intermission turns 20 years old! They are celebrating with trivia and live music throughout the day by Kalani, Carmyn, Billy Bronsted and Brad Emanuel. They are taking this day to give back to their community. Bring in a food or cash donation and you’ll receive a complimentary shot of Jameson! All food and cash donations will go to support Kats (Keeping Area Teens Safe). Come wish this awesome local bar a Happy Birthday while supporting a good cause. Starts at 1 pm. 715-849-9377.

Shriner’s Breakfast with Santa SATURDAY 11/27 | WAUSAU LABOR TEMPLE

Christmas is just around the corner! That means it’s time for kids to tell Santa what they want for Christmas. At this annual Breakfast with Santa, enjoy an all you can eat breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausages, applesauce and beverages. Kids can meet Santa, get a face painting, and shop at the elf shelf. Proceeds support to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospitals. Starts at 8 am. $7 adults, $3 children 5-12 and free for 5 and under. 715-8483320.

Hyde SATURDAY 11/27 | ARROW SPORTS CLUB, WESTON

This classic rock and pop cover band has been making waves throughout Wisconsin since they formed in 2008. They were voted People’s Choice Band in 2016 and 2017 by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) and have shared the stage with rock acts including Candlebox, Shinedown, Seether, Skillet, Journey and more. Fronted by powerful female vocals, shredding guitar and backed up by a veteran rhythm section, HYDE will get you up and on your feet with your favorite hits from the 70’s to today. This is one party you won’t want to miss! 9 pm. 715-359-2363.

Bradley Sperger FRIDAY 11/26 | DISTRICT 1 BREWING COMPANY, STEVENS POINT

40008

This guy is a one-man-band powerhouse, but don’t let the one-man part fool you. He combines his voice and guitar with electronic live looping that allow him to project a full sound that you would hear from a group of musicians. It’s fascinating to watch him start on one instrument, and as the song progresses, go from one instrument to the other, adding each one in succession to create the full sound. 6:30 pm. 715-544-6707.

EARTH TALK

By E Magazine

What’s up with efforts by Native Americans to take back parks?

Dear EarthTalk: What’s up with efforts by Native Americans to take back the national parks?

—C. Woodend, Brea, CA

Prior to white settlement, as many as 15 million Indigenous people inhabited what would come to be called the contiguous United States; by the 1890s only about 250,000 remained. Today, roughly five million Native Americans live in the Lower 48, but they control only about two percent of the lands. Recently tribal activists have renewed efforts to remedy this historical misappropriation by demanding that control of the national parks be given back to the tribes.

“The national parks are sometimes called ‘America’s best idea’, and there is much to recommend them,” reports Leech Lake Ojibwe tribal member and author David Treuer in a recent op-ed in The Atlantic. “But all of them were founded on land that was once ours, and many were created only after we were removed, forcibly, sometimes by an invading army and other times following a treaty we’d signed under duress.”

Indeed, Indians were extricated from Yellowstone, Glacier and Yosemite national parks despite their ancestors having lived there for 10,000 years. But what happened in these landmark parks was just the tip of the iceberg, as Indigenous peoples were “robbed” of hundreds of other naturally significant sites from coast to coast as well.

“Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, in Wisconsin, was created out of Ojibwe homelands; the Havasupai lost much of their land when Grand Canyon National Park was established; the creation of Olympic National Park, in Washington prevented Quinault tribal members from exercising their treaty rights within its boundaries; and

few areas run by the National Park Service, such as the National Mall.” The total acreage would be a far cry from the 90 million acres taken from tribes by 1887’s General Allotment Act, he maintains, which regulated land rights on tribal lands (and served to further splinter already displaces tribal communities). It would ensure unfettered access to tribal homelands and would go a long way toward restoring the dignity of America’s original peoples.

“To be entrusted with the stewardship of America’s most precious landscapes would be a deeply meaningful form of restitution,” he concludes. “Alongside the feelings of awe that Americans experience while contemplating the god-rock of Yosemite and other places like it, we could take inspiration in having done right by one another.”

Everglades National Park was created on Seminole land that the tribe depended on for food,” reports Treuer.

Since we live in a time of “historical reconsideration,” he says, the national parks should be returned to Native control. “Indians should tend—and protect and preserve—these favored gardens again,” he writes, adding that not only would making such a transition be good for tribes, it would also be good for the American people and the parks themselves, which he says have been mismanaged in recent decades and currently face insurmountable federal maintenance and other backlogs.

“All 85 million acres of national-park sites should be turned over to a consortium of federally recognized tribes in the United States,” urges Treuer, excepting “a

THE BUZZ

By Evan J. Pretzer

Rolling the dice on a new business

Matthew Wruck, Brad Emon and Matthew Check have laid their cards down on ISO Games key cards are in glass cases which make up the main counter. Future expansion hopes include offering older video games for purchase, more tournaments and organized events to go along with what is advertised on the ISO Games Facebook page and separate from these, staying ahead and abreast of the competition.

“We have to be pretty confident we are the best option in town,” Wruck said as he wrapped his remarks. “There are two other stores and they made us weigh if we could be successful.”

For customer Eric Czerniak, the scale has come up in Wruck, Emon and Check’s favor.

“Johnny’s was filled with brotherhood and family feelings,” he said. “This has been missed.”

ISO Games is open from 12-8 p.m.

Monday through Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and 12-10 p.m. Friday. They can be reached at isogamesinc@gmail.com or by calling 715-870-2466.

Now and Zen Massage settled in at new site

Business was formerly in the First American Center downtown Now and Zen Massage in Wausau has settled into a new location after making a recent move.

Katie Smogolesky’s practice began in 2017 and was previously located in the heart of Wausau. The shift to N. 3rd Avenue was brought on by a need to downsize and though now in the conference room which once belonged to Virtual Vision the same services remain.

“This is a little more advantageous,” Smogolesky said.

Three friends from Central Wisconsin have opened a new business in Wausau which may involve boards, but is never boring to their customers seeking cards and games every day.

Since October ISO Games has offered Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, the supplies it takes to play each and various board games to those hungry for such content in the community and region. Overseen by friends and co-owners Matthew Wruck, Brad Emon and Matthew Check, the initiative at 1720 Merrill Ave. came out of conversations had between the trio in the wake of popular establishment Johnny Cee Cards shutting down two years ago.

“We kind of missed John’s and it did not feel the same anymore,” Wruck said. “It was funny first and then we started talking about it seriously. Matthew is a part of the [gaming] community and when we heard he was thinking of opening a store we got together over drinks, talked about it more over a month and just kind of went from there. It was March when we made our plans.”

After this the process included drawing up a contract to ensure the business will survive in the event of strife between the group in the future. Other hurdles included finding a space. While they are set in theirs which was a former home for Crabbman’s Driver Education, getting to it took time due to their landlord adjusting to accommodate other tenants within the building.

“He was still having problems shifting other people around,” Wruck added. “We had other options but the downgrade we would have had was not worth getting into somewhere else a couple of months earlier.

It worked out and we now have everything set how we like it.”
