aukee’s Jordan Hass throws a tter against New Berlin Eisenhower uly 8.

Pewaukee senior pitcher Jordan Hass pitched his second career no-hitter on July 8, this time against New Berlin Eisenhower to complete a sweep against the Lions over two days. Hass, owner of three one-hit shutouts this season, guided the Pirates to a 10-0 victory in five innings. The game was called at that point due to the National Federation 10-run mercy rule. Hass also threw a no-hitter as a sophomore. He struck out five, walked one and faced only one batter over the minimum. “He needed just 54 pitches to finish off the Lions,” Pewaukee co-coach Marc Dobberstein said. The Pirates (20-8 overall, 12-4 in Woodland Conference) scored once in the first inning, five times in the bottom of the third,

three times in the bottom of the fourth and once in the home half of the fifth. Eisenhower (14-12, 9-7) committed three errors to further enhance the Pewaukee offense. Garrett Shibilski scored in the first inning on an RBI single from Chris Tredwell. Hass knocked in a pair of runs in the third, and Zach Brennan and Shaun Campbell also had run-scoring hits for the winners. Brandon Knoke, Tredwell, Alec Wandler, Brennan and Matt Clark all scored. Shibilski, Tredwell and Patrick Tomfohrde came into score in the fourth inning. Tredwell and Brennan had hits. Shibilski singled to start the bottom of the fifth and later scored on a RBI single from Tredwell. “Pewaukee’s three seniors carried the offense in their final regular season home game,” Dobberstein said. “And again, we Please see HASS, Page 22

Leaky cow fixed at UW Veterinary Care BILL NOVAK bnovak@madison.com, 608-252-6483‌

A show cow needs to be pretty much perfect to win honors. A leaky teat is not part of the deal. That was the problem facing the manager of an Illinois farm when show cow Vertigo started leaking milk from her back left teat. The solution: bring Vertigo to UW-Madison for a teat tightening. The novel procedure used on Vertigo is similar to a procedure performed on incontinent women, basically bulking up the muscle tissue in the affected area to make a tighter seal, thereby not allowing liquid to flow until it’s wanted to flow. Vertigo’s milk leak, most likely caused by her stepping on the teat, led to chronic low-grade mastitis, an infection of the udder tissue, and also took her out of competition. Ethan Heinzmann, genetics

Vertigo is a show cow who was leaking milk, a condition treated by a doctor and veterinarian at UWMadison. Golden Oaks Farms

— and wanted her to be as healthy as possible. Dr. Samantha Morello, clinical assistant professor of large animal surgery, consulted with Dr. Dobie Giles, UW Health chief of female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, to see if what works for a woman’s urethra could also work for a cow’s teat. Giles injects a rubber-like material around a woman’s ure-

No more leaking, and she was able to be milked normally by an automatic milking machine. Vertigo stayed for a few days at UW Veterinary Care and now is back on the farm.

Obama defends delay on immigration JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press‌

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Saturday that the surge of immigrant children entering the U.S. illegally changed the politics surrounding the issue of immigration and led him to put off a pledge to use executive action that could shield millions of people from deportation. Immigration reform advocates criticized Obama after White House officials said that the president would not act at summer’s end as he promised in

June but would take up the matter after the midterm elections in November. In an interview taped for NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Obama rejected the charge that the delay was meant to protect Democratic candidates worried that his actions would hurt their prospects in Obama to u g h S e n a te races. By Obama’s own calculations, politics did play a role in his decision. In his remarks to

NBC, which were to be aired on Sunday, he said a partisan fight in July over how to address an influx of unaccompanied minors at the border had created the impression that there was an immigration crisis and thus a volatile climate for taking the measures he had promised to take. “The truth of the matter is — is that the politics did shift midsummer because of that problem,” he said. “I want to spend some time, even as we’re getting all our ducks in a row for the executive action, I also want to make sure that the public understands why we’re doing

this, why it’s the right thing for the American people, why it’s the right thing for the American economy.” Reflecting the passion behind the threat of deportations, immigration advocacy groups that have criticized Republicans for not passing an immigration overhaul instantly turned their anger on Obama. Cristina Jimenez, managing director of United We Dream, said the decision was “another slap to the face of the Latino and immigrant community.” See OBAMA, A3

Giving military gear to police gets second look TAMI ABDOLLAH and ERIC TUCKER Associated Press‌

WASHINGTON — After a decade of sending military equipment to civilian police departments across the country, federal officials are reconsidering the idea in light of the violence in Ferguson, Missouri. The public has absorbed images of heavily armed police, snipers trained on protesters and tear gas plumes. Against that backdrop, Attorney General Eric Holder said that when police and citizens need to restore calm, “I am deeply concerned that the deployment of military equipment and vehicles sends a conflicting message.” Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said police responses like that in Ferguson have “become the

a crowd in a gesture of reconciliation. The contrast added to perception that the tanks and tear gas had done more harm than good. As the country concludes its longest wartime period, the military has turned over thousands of surplus weapons and armored trucks to local police who often trained alongside the military. A report by the American Civil Liberties Union in June said police agencies had become “excessively militarized,” with officers using training and equipment designed for the ASSOCIATED PRESS battlefield on city streets.

It’s just a huge honor.”

“Know the Facts: Puddles are not regulated” reads a cartoon depicting a rainstorm over a farm in the Environmental Protection Agency’s new #ditchthemyth campaign. The public relations push was intended as a quirky spinoff of the American Farm Bureau’s #ditchtherule movement, which raised concerns over proposed rule changes by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to federal jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act.

The potato sack races were a highlight of the second annual PotatoFest held Saturday in downtown Rhinelander.

Rainy weather can’t stop the fun at PotatoFest By Marcus Nesemann RIVER NEWS REPORTER

The second annual PotatoFest, sponsored by Downtown Rhinelander, Inc. (DRI) and Lily’s House, drew a huge crowd from all over the state — and beyond — to the home of the Hodag Saturday. Despite an ominous weather forecast and the occasional light shower, spud fans from all over enjoyed the expanded and improved PotatoFest. “Overall it went very, very well. Wisconsin people, Midwest people, they know what it’s all about. We deal with crazy weather all year — winter, summer, fall, spring, all of it — and they still come out to enjoy themselves,” said Maggie Steffen, executive director of DRI. “It was a great turnout considering the weather, a whole lot more than I thought after first seeing the forecast.

Enthusiastic crowd battles showers to participate in eating contests, races

Just during the mashed potato eating contest alone, we counted over 400 people. It’s amazing.” After the success of the inaugural PotatoFest last year, Steffen said organizers put their heads together to figure out how to make the event bigger and better. The fruits of that labor were evident on Saturday. “We have expanded, widening everything out and going down Brown Street a little bit more. We wanted to make this year bigger and better than the first,” she said. “I think we can safely say that we had (at least the same number of people) that we had last year. With a bigger event this year, we wanted to increase that, but with the weather, we’re quite happy. We’re really, really happy.”

“We’ve grown a lot. We grew by having more partners. We had the Rhinelander Basketball Association do a 3-on-3 tournament. We had the Duck Regatta with the Oneida County Tavern League with help from the Tri-County Council (on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault). We got the Wisconsin Potato Growers in on it with the Spudmobile,” she added. “The more partners we can add on, the better the event, and that’s what we’re always looking for.” One of those partnerships is with the YMCA of the Northwoods, which runs the Couch Potato Race down Brown Street. Although only two teams participated this year, both were returning competitors from last year.

As Lee’s technique improved, so did her horse’s performance. “She’s had to do a lot more than the average kid,” Cole said. “You don’t have to be talented to be a star at this: You have to be committed.” The days of competition appear to be winding down for Lee, who has only one year of high school left; and Kalypso, who at age 16 is nearing retirement age. Like any couple, the two have their ups and downs, partly because Kalypso isn’t a particularly friendly steed. “He’s not a good people horse, but I like him … most of the time,” Lee said.

Judge sides with Menominee Co. Airport panel must accept Anderson’s appointment By PENNY MULLINS EagleHerald news/online editor pmullins@eagleherald.com

MENOMINEE — The scales of justice ruled on the side of Menominee County Friday, by placing its third representative on the Twin County Airport Commission, but they also tipped heavily in that direction after the resignation of two representatives from Marinette County. Circuit Court Judge Richard Celello agreed with Menominee County’s request to compel the airport commission to accept Garry Anderson as a new appointee and to accept the lease agreement Anderson forged with Gene Coleman, who will take over ownership of Anderson’s hangar at the airport. Celello asked Menominee County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Hass to prepare the writ of mandamus, which Hass said after the show cause hearing he would draft as soon as possible.

While Celello’s words said the airport commission has to accept Anderson, it was Hass’ opinion that Anderson will become a member of the commission immediately after Celello signs the document and that no com- Hass mission action is needed. That becomes significant because of the decision Tuesday afternoon by Nick Lakari and Mary Johns to resign from the airport commission immediately, which leaves Marinette County with only one representative, Ted Sauve. Both Sauve and Lakari are county board supervisors; Johns was appointed as a county at-large representative. The commission met in special session Tuesday at noon to consider hiring an attorney to represent the group at that afternoon’s court hearing, but

the meeting was adjourned without any discussion or action after it was clear there was no quorum. Neither Charlie Meintz nor Chris Plutchak, both Menominee County commissioners and airport commissioners, appeared at the special meeting. Meintz had emailed that he was not available — Plutchak did not show up. Both Meintz and Plutchak were at the show cause hearing at the Menominee County Courthouse at 2 p.m. Meintz and Plutchak also walked out of the last airport commission meeting after a vote to accept Anderson was rejected 3-2. Hass said the two commissioners left the meeting because they didn’t have equal representation. He reiterated that point Friday in court. “This is not an issue of Menominee versus Marinette; this is not about whether Mr. Garry Anderson is qualified or not qualified to sit as See RULING, A3

Wisconsin’s drug courts grow, but racial disparities persist By Taylor Chase Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism Even before Dane County Circuit Judge Sarah O’Brien crunched the numbers, she knew something was amiss. Her strongest evidence: “The courtroom didn’t look right when I walked in.” O’Brien, who retired in 2012, was referring to the stark racial disparities in Dane County’s drug court. The people in front of her—the ones who had gotten the chance to reduce or avoid criminal convictions in exchange for completing treatment and other programming—were overwhelmingly white. In 2012, about one-third of those arrested for drug crimes in Dane County were black, according to the state Office of Justice Assistance. But African-Americans made up just 10 percent of those participating in the county’s drug court that year, according to Journey Mental Health, a Madison nonprofit that provides treatment and case management for the program.

percent were black. Drug courts such as this one in Madison are an effective way, research has shown, to cut prison costs and to reduce recidivism by treating addictions that fuel criminal behavior. But it is an opportunity many people, particularly minorities, are missing out on in Wisconsin. In Racine County in 2012, for example, 11 percent of drugcourt participants were black, although about onethird of all drug defendants arrested that year were African-American. Disparities also can be found in Rock and Milwaukee counties, the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism found. Experts disagree as to why these disparities exist. Some drug court judges believe the problem lies in drug use trends in which white offenders, whose drug of choice is heroin, are more likely to qualify than blacks, who are much more likely to abuse cocaine.

nslate ntly,

Law enforcement responded to at least three heroin overdoses in two days in Washington County and three lives were saved because of Narcan. Overdoses occurred in a gas station bathroom, a Walmart parking lot, and another while the man was driving. Germantown Fire Chief Gary Weiss told the

way

epair sides, perat.

Germantown Village Board on Monday night that his department trained the officers of the Germantown Police Department how to administer Narcan three weeks ago and, on Saturday, that training saved a life. Narcan is a drug that can reverse an overdose. Officers responded to the Speedway Gas Station on Riversbend Lane shortly after 5:30 p.m. Saturday after a man locked himself in the bathroom. After gaining

entry into the bathroom, it was evident the man was suffering from a heroin overdose. An officer gave the man Narcan, according to a Germantown Police Department news release. Weiss, who had been on the scene, said the man regained consciousness and was transported to a local hospital. Weiss said Saturday’s incident was the first time a Germantown Police officer administered Narcan while on duty.

Another Germantown officer involved in the incident was stuck by a used hypodermic needle the man had. The officer was admitted to the hospital. The news release notes it is a common occurrence for police officers and emergency medical personnel to encounter needles and other sharp objects at incidents involving controlled substances. The officer’s gloves failed to protect his hands when he was stuck.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Department dealt with a heroin overdose Friday night, according to a news release. At about 7:30 p.m. Friday, a 36-year-old Richfield man drove into a ditch on Highway 167 near the Richfield Truck Stop. The deputy who arrived discovered the man unconscious and noticed fresh injection marks on his arm and a heroin kit in the vehicle. Please see HEROIN/A8

Wheel Tax Ordinance On Aug. 12 County Board Agenda The Chippewa County Board of Supervisors’ executive committee gave a 4-1 endorsement to the annual vehicle registration fee, or wheel tax ordinance Tuesday, Aug. 5. The full county board is expected to act on the proposed wheel tax ordinance at 6 p.m. at tonight’s (Tuesday, Aug. 12) meeting. Executive committee members voting for the wheel tax ordinance included Chair Paul Michels, Jared Zwiefelhofer, Anson Albarado and Mike Leisz.

The Washburn County Board voted out an advisory referendum question on accepting

federal funding for the state’s Medicaid/BadgerCare program to be placed on the November election ballots but approved an amended version stating the board’s support of accepting federal funding for expanded health-care coverage at the regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

Menasha man arrested after pursuit For Action Reporter Media

A Menasha man is in jail after leading law enforcement on a 22-mile high-speed chase. The 27-year-old man was taken into custody early Saturday morning in Washington County on charges of eluding an officer, recklessly endangering safety, operating while intoxicated-second offense, and other traffic citations. The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office

received several reports shortly after 3:30 a.m. Saturday, July 19, stating there was a vehicle traveling south at a high rate of speed in the northbound lane of Highway 41 at Lone Elm Road. Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle while it was traveling along Highway 41north of Winnebago Street in the town of Friendship, according to a press release from Sgt. Renee Schuster, the vehicle reached speeds of 103-mph, forcing traf-

fic out of the car’s path to avoid a head-on collision. deployed Deputies stop sticks at Highway 41 and Johnson Street but the chase continued with the driver still traveling south in the northbound lane. Fond du Lac County Deputies deployed second set of stop sticks in Washington County, and disabled the vehicle south of Highway 28 in Washington County. No one was injured in the incident. Alcohol is believed to be a factor.

Fair officials followed a state advisory to send swine directly to slaughter instead of back to the farm after the fair because of a virus that has killed more than 10 percent of the country’s 63 million hogs since April 2013.

So Zwicky pulled him over. But the officer wasn’t in his squad car or on a Segway or even on a bicycle. He was patrolling on a specially designed skateboard. With no siren or flashing lights, Zwicky did the next best thing. He twirled his finger in the air and pointed to the side of the trail. It actually worked. “He was like ‘Oh my God, what is this?’ So

I pointed him in the right direction he should have been traveling,” Zwicky said. Though Zwicky patrols Green Bay’s neighborhoods in an unmarked Dodge Charger, each day when the weather is nice he parks his squad car and pulls his skateboard from the back seat, switching one set of wheels for another. Wearing his blue police uniform — plus a helmet and black Vans sneakers — Zwicky travels on the Fox River Trail talking to folks, and spends time with skateboarders at an indoor skating facility and other hangouts. He also visits parks and events as part of the department’s community policing program.

He plans to bring his skateboard to Lambeau Field on Packers Sundays to patrol parking lots. “An event like that would be perfect. I probably couldn’t go 10 feet without stopping, which is the whole purpose,” he said. Neither he nor his bosses with the Green Bay Police Department know of any other police officer in Wisconsin, or even in the United States, who patrols on a skateboard. So, in a way, Zwicky is blazing a trail . . . or at least rolling one. “We have one-man cars. He’s a one-man skateboard,” Green Bay Capt. Bill Galvin

Highway committee reconsiders ATV ordinance by PAT MULVANEY Herald Editor It doesn’t appear there will be a blanket Monroe County ordinance to open all county highways to ATV traffic. That became clear to the highway committee after Andy Kaftan, the county’s corporation counsel, appeared at the committee’s June 20 meeting. Kaftan was there to clarify the legal points of the issue, which was raised after an ATV club based in Warrens asked the committee to open certain county highways in northeastern Monroe County to ATVs.

While the committee was accommodating to the request, even offering to open all county roads, a few town boards within the county raised some objections. Kaftan told the committee that DNR administrative rules and state law require ATV routes on county highways to be specifically designated in a county ordinance, which would have to be published and voted on by the full county board. He also pointed out that each addition or removal of a route would need an amendment to the ordinance, requiring the same publishing and county board

approval. However, according to Monroe County Highway Commissioner Jack Dittmar, cities and villages have control over county highways within their borders and could regulate ATV use on those thoroughfares regardless of a county ordinance. The ATV club has yet to submit the routes it would like open but it appears not all municipalities are onboard with the idea of having ATV’s on their roads. Town of Grant Supervisor Allen Roof, who attended the June 20 meeting, told the committee that his township voted against opening up its town roads to

ATV traffic, apparently upsetting some people who attended the town meeting. Highway committee chairman Jim Schroeder suggested the townships be the main representative in designating routes but have the highway committee work with the municipalities before approving them. Committee member Nodji VanWychen agreed that the towns should be considered first in the designation or routes. She also said she feels some of the towns are being pressured into opening routes without adequately researching their

impacts. Kaftan suggested involving law enforcement personnel in the discussion because it may require a beefed up police presence to enforce regulations regarding ATV use. He also said he feels the highway committee should focus on the safety, health and welfare of county residents. He cautioned against involving the towns in decision-making and giving them the impression they have authority over county highways. Dittmar is drafting a policy on ATV routes, which he plans to present to the committee this month.
