Despite a miserable spring, strawberries are red, ripe and delicious With a cold, wet spring and early summer, there was no telling how the strawberry crop would fare, but judging from the look of things at Walvoord’s Berry Farm near Cedar Grove, the berries are big, red and juicy this year. Holding boxes of fresh-picked berries last week were (clockwise from front) Gracie, Hannah, Liz and Jacob Fischer. Photo by Sam Arendt July 9, 2014 9:22 pm /

Officials seek ways to streamline hires

S SMILE

MADISON (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker’s administration is looking at ways to speed hiring for state civil service jobs, sparking a new round of suspicion among union leaders still reeling from the governor’s push to strip most public workers of nearly all their union rights. Most state positions are civil service jobs. Unlike political appointees, those workers are supposed to be chosen strictly on merit rather than party ties and they can’t be ﬁred without cause. They go through an extensive hiring process that can include multiple exams and interviews. The process can sometimes take

UP FRONT STATEWIDE - The U.S. Department of Agriculture is funding a project involving the University of Wisconsin - Madison and Farmers Market Coalition to better track sales at farmers markets and to collect other information that could be useful to vendors and communities. Farmers markets have a rich history with political, social and economic overtones, says Alfonso Morales, an associate professor of urban and regional planning at UW-Madison. “We know that farmers markets were very important in the United States at the turn of the last century,” said Morales. “We know they increased in importance, though, during the late 1960s and ‘70s as middle-class consumers became interested in alternatives to grocery stores.” There are now more than 8,000 farmers markets in the United States, but their impact on communities is largely unknown. Morales and the Farmers Market Coalition will work with nine markets in three regions of the U.S. to develop an online tool to measure economic, social and environmental impacts. He said the way consumers get food continues to change. “There are a number of different branches, number of activities or ways to buy food or consumer goods that serve the various needs people have,” said Morales. “Our work is documenting that (evolution) but also fostering it.” Morales hopes an academic approach to measuring the impact of farmers markets will enhance market credibility and enable better decision making on where to locate markets and what to sell. – Shamane Mills, WPR ••• STATEWIDE - More scientists and advocacy groups are urging that a chemical ingredient called triclosan be removed from some household soaps and cleaning products, partly due to concerns about the chemical getting into surface waters like the Great Lakes. Minnesota recently decided to ban triclosan from most personal care and cleaning products by the year 2017. The Canadian Environmental Law Association would like more Great Lakes states and Canadian provinces to do the same, not just for triclosan but also for a related chemical, triclocarban. Arizona State University professor July 17, 2014 2:57 pm / Rolf Halden has been tracking the issue and last week joined the Canadian group on a conference call to share his concerns. “Triclo-

Storm clouds over Readstown The sunset was particularly spectacular on Sunday evening, July 6. The key ingredients to see such beautiful colors is a lack of pollution, a few high clouds, and the sun angle. Blue and violet colors have shorter wavelengths (0.47 nanometers [nm]), and are typically scattered more due to the gases in our atmosphere, making them visable. Longer wavelengths such as red, orange, and yellow (around 0.55 to 0.65 nm) simply pass straight through our air, which explains why our sky cannot be red. In the morning and evening hours, sunlight has to take a longer path through the atmosphere due to the low angle of the sun, making it possible to see colors otherwise lost to our vision. - Photo by Emily Schendel

MADE THREATENING, OBSCENE TWEETS

Man allegedly threatened Walker’s son

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Milwaukee man accused of sending dozens of threatening and obscene tweets to Gov. Scott Walker’s adult son told investigators he was angry at Walker and that his son was just an “innocent bystander,” an investigator alleges in a criminal complaint. Robert C. Peffer, 31, is due in court Monday for a pre-trial conference. He was charged last month with four misdemeanor counts of sending threatening or obscene computer messages, and a court commissioner set a $250 signature bond. The tweets to Matt Walker, a Marquette University student, began June 30 when his father wished him a happy 20th birthday. Over the next six days, Peffer allegedly sent 36 tweets

because he feared for his safety, the complaint said. The tweets originated from the account “@RepublicPrince2” with the user name Prince Peffer Jr., the complaint said. A Capitol Police officer interviewed Peffer on July 7, and Peffer said he was the only one who used the account and acknowledged sending the tweets. Peffer told the officer he follows Gov. Walker’s tweets to “fuel my anger” against the governor. The officer then asked what Matt Walker had done to incur Peffer’s anger. “Nothing at all.

music poured out of speakers during Hub City Days on Saturday, a new sound — bouncing basketballs — filled downtown Marshfield as children participated in the first Hub City Hoops threeon-three basketball tournament. “We wanted to do something more family-oriented that would get more kids down here,” said Kelly Korth, who serves on the Main Street Marshfield board of directors. A total of 25 teams entered the first Hub City Days basketball tournament — fewer than event organizers expected — but parents, grandparents and siblings lined Central Avenue in lawn chairs to watch the games.

The Ranger III ferry from Houghton, Mich., prepares to dock July 9 at Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior. The National Park Service ship has a permanent ballast treatment system that uses filtration and UV light to prevent the spread of a fish virus and other invasive species.

“If you have only 500 fish and you have a disease that can kill fish by the tons, your motivation is pretty strong, especially if your job is to preserve and protect.”

By DAN EGAN degan@journalsentinel.com

Houghton, Mich. — Isle Royale National Park Superintendent Phyllis Green pounced when she learned in 2007 that an invasive virus deadly to dozens of freshwater fish species was creeping toward her island — a reef-rimmed wildlife refuge in the biggest, coldest and wildest of the Great Lakes. Green instantly focused on the island’s coaster brook trout — a beleaguered species that once numbered in the millions in Lake Superior but is now counted by the hundreds. “If you have only 500 fish and you have a disease that can kill fish by the tons, your motivation is pretty strong, especially if your job is to preserve and protect,” she says. Green went to the captain of the Ranger III, which ferries park passengers to the island, 73 miles from its home port of Houghton on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Worried that the ship might suck the virus up into its ballast tanks while docked at the mainland, she asked if there were any way to disinfect the water sloshing in the bowels of the ship before it was released in park waters. The captain said no. Please see SOLUTIONS, 4A

The seventh annual Wisconsin Science and Technology Symposium drew more than 150 researchers, entrepreneurs and students. Each year the event showcases exciting innovations – from software to lasers – and brings together the brightest minds from across the state. More than 40 students competed for cash prizes in the WiSys poster challenge including Northland College students Tyler Klein, Dylan Hudson and Louis Corcoran, who took third place for their presentation on plastic depolymerization. Klein, Hudson and Corcoran along with other students have been working with Nick Robertson, assistant professor of chemistry from Northland College, to develop a method for turning used plastic pop bottles into useful molecules for high-value products.

Katie VanGroll’s Grand Champion Holstein was hand-picked. He was the one. “My grandpa and dad picked a group of 20 of them, but I fell in love with one and knew he would be the one,” VanGroll said. She named him Oakley and brought him home along with an Angus steer. Near their stalls she hung a sign that said “my future champions” with a two dollar bill for good luck. From there the bonding grew stronger, and she loved Oakley with all her heart. She halter broke him herself, fighting with stubbornness and attitude that she called character. “He would lick me to death and grab ahold of my pony tail with his mouth and pull,” she said. “Sometimes I wondered if I had any hair left.

Pelicans get the scoop on fishing local waters By Todd S. Bergmann You’re not imaging it, those really are pelicans along the shores of the Manitowoc River. A flock of hundreds of white pelicans has been fishing the river, northwest of Valders, and in the Collins Marsh in the past two weeks. The migratory birds have made a comeback in parts of Wisconsin in recent

Then, they would come back the next day.” White pelicans stay in one area until they deplete the top-feeding fish and then move to another area, explained Jeff Pritzl, district wildlife supervisor for the state Department

“They’re in large numbers right now,” he said on Friday morning. “You can see them in the Manitowoc River and out in the marsh.” Likewise, Pritzl said he saw white peli cans circling over the river on Friday morn ing.

ell, of course, it felt good. Ozaukee County Board Chairman Lee Schelenvogt and some fellow board members loved it when ice water was poured on their heads on last week—because the ALS Association Ice Bucket Challenge is a good cause and because, let’s face it, public officials are expected to get frigidly soaked as part of the summer’s hottest fad. Schlenvogt was challenged to take his cold shower by Ozaukee County Sheriff Maury Straub. The chairman (center, white shirt) was joined by fellow County Board members (from left) Richard Dieffenbach, Jennifer Rothstein, Kathy Geracie, Leroy Haeuser and Dan Becker. Workers from the Ozaukee County Highway Department were delighted to help by dumping the freezing water, though Straub handled the soaking of County Administrator Tom Meaux himself (right).

After all, the New York Times is among the biggest, most influential newspapers around. It has reporters covering presidents, prime ministers and world affairs all over the planet. What could it possibly want in Green Bay? Then I discovered that the reporter was a travel

Plans in works to make Hwy. 8 wayside snowmo, ATV trail head By Jed Buelow Tomahawk Leader City Editor jbuelow@tomahawkleader.com

The Tomahawk Board of Public Works will take up a request from the Lincoln County Highway Department to assist in the cost of making improvements to the wayside at the intersection of Hwy. 8 and County Road A to build a bigger area and convert it into a snowmobile and ATV trail head. The county is asking the city to split the costs needed to complete the project, which would include an estimated 1,500 tons of gravel for the upgrades. The plan is to expand the size of the wayside so trucks hauling snowmobiles and ATVs would have extra room to park and be able to access area trails from the wayside. “I believe that the improvements will benefit the city (of Tomahawk) by creating more traffic at local businesses,” says Mike VanDeWeerd, Lincoln County Highway commissioner, in the letter submitted to the city. The Board of Public Works is scheduled to take up the funding request when it meets tonight (Tuesday) at City Hall at 5 p.m.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has been working on an ordinance that would create rules and regulations regarding the use of temporary fabric covered storage units in the city. The commission meets at City Hall at 8 a.m. The Board of Public Works will also be taking up storm water project bids as well as a review of the city’s noxious weed and snow removal policies. Director of Public Works Mike Tolvstad will provide an update on the 2014 Road Surface Management Plan and provide updates after the Kings Road replacement project was put on hold earlier this year. The License and Permits Committee will discuss the city’s animal ordinance in regards to raising chickens in the city limits. Currently the ordinance allows chickens but does not restrict the keeping of roosters in town, which will be addressed with revisions to the ordinance. The committee meets at 6 p.m. For a complete list of all today’s city government meetings and agenda items, as well as other area government meetings

The public is invited to an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday, Sept. 9 at the newly-constructed, 33-bed assisted living facility on Theiler Drive. Care Partners Country Terrace Assisted Living will have staff on hand to provide tours and answer any questions guests might have concerning the new facility. Food and prizes also will be made available during the open house, which takes place during National Assisted Living Week. Melinda Koch, facility director, who has worked in the health care field for the past 20 years, said excitement has been building for some time as staff, future residents and their families have looked forward to the opening. Koch said almost all work has been completed, with landscaping part of the final phase. “We are very excited, but especially look forward to being able to assist residents and their families in the next chapter of their lives,” Koch said. “Some of the residents are excited to be moving back to Tomahawk where they can be closer to family and friends.

Walters has been and primping for preening months, preparing for one thing. Shellby, a 9-year-old from Easton, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been focused on her own beauty. Her attention has been focused on Chewy, a calf that has been her constant companion as she and scores of other 4-Hers prepare for judgment day at the Wisconsin Valley Fair. Shellby was lying with Chewy in a bed of straw Wednesday in the cattle barn at Marathon Park, doing some last-minute primping before going before judges today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my first year showing a calf at the fair,â&#x20AC;?

Shellby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talk to her, too, and make sure sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy.â&#x20AC;? The animal judging harkens back to the foundation of the fair in central Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural history, when many kids knew not only how to handle animals but how to ensure that they grew up to bring the best prices at market or produce the most milk for the family dairy. Shelby said Chewy can be a hassle sometimes, because she can be stubborn and, being mostly white, she gets dirty easily. These girls will be up as early as 3 a.m. today to get their animals washed, groomed and ready to show, said Laura Merriam, Nevaehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and leader of Cloverbud and Exploring for Badger 4-H. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one washing area in this barn, and to make sure we can get the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; animals

Koprowski is a former member of a Mosinee 4-H club, but since she graduated high school, she has entered independently. Koprowski said she taught herself to breed rabbits and has 14 of them at her home in Mosinee. Rabbits are judged based on how well they conform to perfect breed characteristics including weight, color and markings, Koprowski said. She pulled Diesel, an English-Holland mix, out of his cage and explained that, for example, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;butterflyâ&#x20AC;? design must be present on his nose in order to enter him for judging. Koprowski said she breeds predominantly Dutch rabbits, but hopes to start breeding English rabbits, as well. Koprowski, like so many others with animals entered for judging, said she looks forward to participating in the fair every year.

DOJ response to Ferguson seeks truth, calm

hington Writer

t of Justice has lly swift and o the death of an independent BI agents combi, for witnesses unarmed black officer. ervers say, is to

ensure that the truth about the killing is revealed, to ease racial tensions, and to reassure those fearing a cover-up that justice will be done. Brown was shot dead in the street in the St. Louis suburb on August 9. Gov Jay Nixon asked for a federal investigation two days later, after riots erupted when the county police force confronted protesters with armored vehicles, tear gas and dogs. After the images of the military-style police response drew widespread criticism, federal officials said they were coaching local authorities on different tactics.

On Saturday, 40 FBI agents started going door-to-door in the neighborhood where the shooting took place, interviewing witnesses and gathering information. An independent federal autopsy was announced Sunday, and President Barack Obama announced Monday that Attorney General Eric Holder would travel to Ferguson to meet with investigators and community leaders. “What they usually do is wait for the local investigation to complete itself,” said Alberto Gonzales, former attorney general under President George W. Bush.

Gonzales said that although he did not have all the information being evaluated by federal officials, it appeared to be an aggressive and unusual response to an unusual case. “They’re going in with one goal: to ascertain the truth. And to do so in a way that raw feelings can be comforted and soothed,” said Gonzales, who is now dean of the Belmont College of Law in Nashville. Ferguson is about 70 percent black.

New panfish rules to be debated at public meeting ___________ BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR

___________

A public meeting on the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) proposed experimental panfish bag limits on 110 lakes statewide — including 10 lakes in Vilas County, the entire Three Lakes Chain of lakes and 16 other water bodies in Oneida County — is set in Minocqua next Tuesday, Aug. 26. Steve Hewett, DNR fisheries section chief, said the goal of the changes is to improve the average size of panfish in lakes that are not achieving their potential.

Dunn County Sheriff Dennis Smith

Lawyer alleges PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE retaliation at the heart of open meetings investigation

Board ap funding fo locker

Menomonie City Council members Leslie Brown and Paul Riedel have hired an attorney from Hudson to represent them in response to a complaint of open meeting violations filed against them by the mayor. In a three-plus page letter sent to Mayor Randy Knaack on Aug. 1, Andrew M. Nelson of Nelson & Lundquist, S.C. concluded that the allegations in the complaint have no merit. In a 6-4 vote at its June 16 meeting, the council directed the mayor to file the complaint with the Dunn County District Attorney’s Office along with an open records request that Brown’s and Riedel’s city, personal and work email accounts for the past two years be examined. The proposed investigation focused on an email exchange that took place following the council’s June 2 meeting. A group email from retired Ward 10 representative Sue Beety was addresssed to Brown, Riedel and three other alderpersons who voted against rezoning the property next to Stepping Stones on Stout Road to allow the organization to convert it into a homeless shelter. In Beety’s email, she congratulated the five alderpersons for “having the ‘guts’ to stand up to Stepping Stones and vote for the city!” Ryland Erdman, Beety’s successor to the council, was courtesy copied on the email. He relayed his concerns about a possible violation of the open meeting law to City Attorney Ken Schofield.

By a 7-2 vo te , t h e Menomonie school board approved funding the additional $25,000 needed to complete a dedicated Menomonie High School boys’ hockey locker room at the Dunn County Ice Arena. Monday night’s vote comes after the proposal failed to pass last month on a 3-3 vote with three board members absent. Board President Colleen Davis, who originally opposed the proposal last month, citing insufficient financial information, asked to bring the proposal back for another vote following an audit of the district’s funds. “The audit is not complete,” said District Administrator Joe Zydowski. “But there has been enough work done by the auditors … that we feel very comfortable that there will be funds available.” Another area of concern was the ability to get a written commitment that the locker room would not be used for any other purpose other than boys’ high school hockey — a stipulation the board was unable to meet. “We are no more able to guarantee a 50-year usage, which is what the lease is with the county … than the school board is capable of making a promise to the hockey program, that it will maintain it for the next 50

PAVILIONS TAKE SHAPE AT ALLIANT ENERGY CENTER Participants in a hard-hat tour of the Alliant Energy Center’s new New Holland Pavilions make their way between the two buildings Monday as work progresses at the site. Scheduled for completion next month, the livestock facilities will have 290,000 square feet of space and will replace the center’s existing barn buildings. The structures will improve operations for the center’s premier events — including the World Dairy Expo, the Midwest Horse Fair and the Dane County Fair — and are expected to open up the grounds to new event possibilities.

Fire damage could exceed $10 million NICO SAVIDGE nsavidge@madison.com, 608-252-6147‌

As the investigation continues into a massive fire that destroyed a Far East Side apartment building project earlier this month, authorities said Monday the blaze may have caused more than $10 million in damage. No one was injured in the Aug. 8 fire, which leveled the four-story, 105-unit apartment complex under construction on the 500 block of Apollo Way.

The fire sent up smoke that could be seen around the Madison area, and generated intense heat, threatening nearby homes. Because of the fire’s size, local authorities called in investigative help from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ National Response Team. Federal and local authorities have interviewed 105 people since then, officials said at a press conference Monday. Investigators are still looking

into how the fire started and have a few “hypotheses,” Madison Fire Department Chief Steve Davis said. Dan Heenan, an ATF special agent with the National Response Team, said some possible causes have been ruled out, including an electrical or natural gas source, since the building was not yet hooked up to those utilities. They have not yet ruled out arson, Heenan said. Authorities initially said the fire caused $3.5 million to $5 mil-

lion in damage, but Heenan said Monday that an insurer estimated that damage was “upwards of $10 million.” The National Response Team, made up of investigators from across the country, is now turning the inquiry over to local authorities from the Madison police and fire departments and local ATF office, Heenan said. In part because of the size of the fire, Davis said, it could take three to four months before the investigation is complete.
