Kimberly delivers its own knockout punch to advance to state

By Joe Matzek For Post-Crescent Media

KAUKAUNA — Despite winning Fox Valley Association titles in 2012 and 2013, the current group of Kimberly seniors had never qualified for the state baseball tournament.

Now the wait is over for Scott Schreiber and six other Papermakers seniors who will join their team at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute next Tuesday.

Weis not only qualified for the state in the hurdles, but she won the event at the West Allis Central sectional last Friday with her time of 15.29. That’s the second-best time in school history. She also won the Classic 8 Conference championship two weeks ago. Not bad for somebody who just picked up on the sport a few months ago.

“Nothing Taylor does surprises me,” Lewis said. “I knew right away that she was going to be outstanding in the triple jump. She was a natural. So for

“My coach at Winona State didn’t even know I was doing the hurdles until a few weeks ago,” Weis said with a chuckle.

“He recruited me as a triple jumper. But now he knows.

But for now, there’s business to take care of this Friday and Saturday in La Crosse.

The Poynette softball team was riding high (above) after shutting out Brodhead in the sectional semifinal, but they were left heartbroken (below) after falling 2-1 to Arcadia in the sectional final.

Falling just short

By Sam Rodriguez Sports Editor The Poynette prep softball team fell just short of its third trip to state in four years after suffering a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to visiting Arcadia in the WIAA Division 3 sectional final last Thursday.

“It wasn’t the greatest played game by either team,” PHS coach Bob Tomlinson said. “When you look at the scorebook it was not a well executed game by either team. They gave us chances with errors and we had an inning where they never hit the ball farther than 35 feet but still scored a run. But

that is what this game is about, it’s game a game of feet and inches.”

To reach the sectional final, the Lady Pumas blanked Brodhead 6-0 in a semifinal game in Darlington on June 3.

“I had a lot of scouting reports from different places, but they were better than most of the people told me and I knew that was going to be the case,” Tomlinson said. “We just hung in there and made some defensive plays and our pitcher was on top of her game.”

It was a revenge game for the Pumas, who lost 4-3 to Brodhead in last year’s sectional semifinal.

“It feels pretty good, espe-

cially since they beat us last year,” PHS senior Sam Lenius said. “It was a sweet victory.”

The Pumas finished the season 23-5 overall.

The loss to Arcadia marked the end for Poynette’s senior class of Amber Peck, Autumn Peck, Brittany Falk, McKenna Kelsey, Becca Schulz, Kelsey Saager, Allison Gorman and Samantha Lenius.

“When they came in as freshman I was not sure how they would pan out,” Tomlinson said. “They kept working and working and got better. I think a lot about this group.”

Cow/ Farm setting among ‘prettiest Eau Claire, The Country Today 06/11/2014

from Page 1A “It’s not official yet, but she made it by the height standard they set,” Hanson said. “I think I have it all covered.”

Hanson said the average cow stands about 5 feet tall.

(Ironically, Guinness has a listing for the world’s shortest cow — a miniature Zebu that measured 2 feet 3.19 inches on July 7, 2013.)

Blosom came to the farm as a calf nearly 13 years ago. At the time, Hanson’s father, Gene Meads, was raising heifers on the farm.

Hanson and her father would get the calves when they were about 8 weeks old and raise them until they were ready to enter a neighbor’s milking string.

“Blosom came to us and she was just so friendly,” Hanson said. “I remember my kids saying, ‘Can we keep her? We’ll milk her every day Mom.’ I knew who would end up milking her, so I said no.

“But as it turned out, Blosom couldn’t breed, so since she couldn’t have a calf or produce milk, I said yeah, we could keep her.”

The cow has been a farm fixture ever since. Hanson borrows a couple of calves from a neighbor to keep Blosom company, since the cow doesn’t really take a liking to the 14 horses and one donkey on the farm.

“She’s basically a conversation piece,” Hanson said of Blosom. “She’s a pasture ornament. But she’s also the star of the farm. She’s the coolest thing ever.”

Hanson grew up in Winnebago, Illinois, but actively helped her father after he bought the 106acre Orangeville farm in 1989. Hanson and her hus-

farm, she still had a lot to learn after he died.

“He had contracts signed for grain sold in 2011 and he already had his seed bought,” she said. “I was just a mess that first year.

But our neighbors said they would show me how to make the hay and they’ve helped me. If I ever get in a bind I know they’re there. That’s really a nice feeling.”

Her son, Mike, has also been a big help on the farm, Hanson said.

“After Dad died I was having trouble figuring out different things and Mike would say, ‘I know how Grandpa did that.’ He would go and get some tool that I didn’t even know my Photo by Jim Massey dad had,” Hanson said.

Tigers Crush Rams in WIAA Reg Random Lake, The Sounder 06/12/2014

HOWARDS GROVE — The WIAA Division 4 girls’ soccer tournament began Thursday and Howards Grove rolled over Random Lake, 10-0. The match ended in the 60th minute under the WIAA mercy rule.

Freshman Brittany Schaller scored four goals for the Tigers, who improved their record to 16-3-2. On Saturday Howards Grove captured the regional championship with a 5-1 victory over St. Mary’s Springs.

Thursday’s match was scoreless until the 16th minute, when freshman Emily Schmid found the net, assisted by senior Nicole Mugan. Schaller’s first goal came at 18:25, assisted by Mugan.

Senior Hayley Reinke made it 3-0 at 28:41 on an unassisted long shot.

Only 19 seconds passed before Schaller scored an unassisted goal. She scored again at 31:56, assisted by Schmid.

There was a hand ball in the box at 33:30 and Schaller made the penalty kick for a 6-0 lead.

Thirty seconds later it was Schmid scoring again, assisted

by Mugan. That gave Howards Grove a 7-0 halftime lead.

Allison Schmid drove in a long shot in the 51st minute. Eight minutes later it was Reinke scoring with an assist by Emily Schmid.

Freshman Olivia Stauss ended the match with her goal in the 60th minute, assisted by Reinke.

Howards Grove outshot the Rams, 19-0. Stauss was the Tigers’ goalkeeper in the first half and Samantha Yancy played in goal during the second half.

Random Lake closes the season with a 2-20 record.

School Board accepts preliminary budget

By SARAH McQUEEN of The Gazette The Stevens Point School district dealt with numerous budget items at its June 23 meeting, approving the preliminary $96.5 million budget and delaying two service contracts.

The annual budget is not yet complete, and will not be until the district has an accurate student count for the upcoming school year, and a final number from the state on the amount of aid the district will receive. The board will hold a budget workshop in August to go over the 206-page budget in detail and to prioritize its projects.

The district has an extra $4.5 million, plus an additional $1 million set aside for textbooks and the Life Skills Center, in its budget this year

due to several unexpected funding sources. The district received $1.5 million from Medicaid returns for the last several years, another half million came from a Microsoft settlement and an additional half million came from gifts and fees.

Thomas Owens, the director of business services, told the board these are all one-time incomes and they should not expect to have the same kind of money next year.

The board delayed signing both Chartwells, the food service, and CleanPower, the janitorial service, contracts.

There was 2.3 percent increase this year for the Chartwells contract an additional $83,000. The board was not given a total price of the contract and tabled the decision until the next regular meeting when they can see a completed copy of

the contract.

“What is the good of having a five-year contract if we don’t know what the prices will be?” said board member Kim Shirek. “I am going to vote no until we get that contract in front of us.”

Jeff Presley asked why the prices are going up when Chartwells offers a service, not a product.

He requested a representative of Chartwells be at the next meeting to speak with the board about the increase.

The board delayed signing the CleanPower contract for a third time, concluding it needs a complete picture of the annual budget before it makes a decision on the contract.

Jeffrey Packee, the president of CleanPower, agreed to extend the contract another 30 days, (See School, page 27)

By NATHANAEL ENWALD of The Gazette The Stevens Point Police Department seeks sponsors for its new Guns and Hoses fundraising event to benefit the Never Forgotten Honor Flight.

The Never Forgotten Honor Flight is an organization that honors war veterans by flying local veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iwo Jima Marine Corps and Air Force memorials and the Lincoln Memorial, among other sights.

Two more trips are planned this fall, Sept.

8 and Oct. 6. Any veterans from World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War are encouraged to submit an application as soon as possible.

The Guns and Hoses community family-oriented event will be held Sept. 13 in conjunction with the revival of the police and fire departments’ softball game, a tradition that fell out of practice years ago.

“Our intention is to make it a veteran’s recognition event with all proceeds going towards the Honor Flight,” said Stevens Point Chief of Police Kevin Ruder.

Right now, Portage County has 36 veterans on a waiting list for upcoming Honor Flight trips, Ruder said.

The trip costs $500 per person.

“So, they need sponsorships to be able to pay for it,” Ruder said.

The Police Department seeks community

members and businesses willing to make donations to reach the goal before the Guns and Hoses event is held.

Ruder said he hopes to be able to definitively announce all 36 veterans have been sponsored – with some to spare for future attendees – at Guns and Hoses.

“My ultimate goal would not only be able to send everyone on the waiting list, but then to have enough money left over for people from Portage County who wish to go on the Honor Flight in the future,” he said.

“This is a tremendous opportunity Chief Ruder had come up with, bringing back an old tradition that was around for a long time, the (See Police, page 14)

Board reviews budget expenditures to date

By Joe Knight Leader-Telegram staff Sales tax revenues for Eau Claire County for the year so far are good, the Aging and Disability Resource Center has received some additional grant money, and the county’s budget is in good shape to date, although some expenses remain unknown, County Administrator J. Thomas McCarty told supervisors Tuesday night.

McCarty gave an update on county finances

at the June County Board meeting.

Chairman of the Committee on Parks and McCarty Forest, Pat LaVelle, noted that revenues from timber sales this spring are coming in above expectations. The county has had 11 timber sales, which are made through a competitive bidding process, and sales

were 84 percent above the advertised values.

The state Department of Natural Resources estimates the advertised values.

McCarty said areas that were proving more expensive than anticipated for the year include the Dr. David Van de Loo trial, which was moved to Superior. The county is still getting bills related to the trial, he said.

Overtime in the sheriff’s office has been higher than anticipated because

of some costs related to 2015 budget guarding prisoners, but Although a lot of 2014 the department is trying remains, county deto make it up by reducing partments already have some other costs, he said. begun working on budThe costs of out-ofget proposals for their home juvenile placements, departments, McCarty which are hard to predict, noted.

By Ryan Spoehr At approximately 4 p.m.

June 19, two juveniles were spotted walking up the bridge past the Main Street Co-op Credit Union (CCU) location and Dollar General in Black River Falls (BRF) with one holding a rifle, according to police scanner reports. Over the scanner, the only description given was they were two young men with dark hair. Names of the two were not released.

One of them was holding the rifle on their shoulder upright, according to eyewitness accounts.

Also over the scanner, it was reported the two were headed up the bridge east on STH 54 and Main Street.

BRF Police and the Jackson County Sherrif’s Office worked in conjuction trying to find the two boys.

After a report of the two being seen going past the CCU, officers on patrol looking for the two could not find them. Minutes later, after searching area parking lots, the two juveniles were spotted at the Triple-R Carwash. Police at that time confirmed it was only an airsoft gun, not a gun with real bullets. The two were let go and were not detained. They were allowed to keep the air gun, and they were later seen going back the way they had come.

Where does your job rank when it comes to the level of stress you have to manage daily? Do you have to avoid land mines, save people from raging fires or formulate policies for public and private companies? Or are you on the low end of the stress meter, working as a tenured university professor, dietitian or hair stylist?

CareerCast recently released its annual top 10 most stressful and least stressful occupations for 2014. Not making the top of the list doesn’t mean your job isn’t stressful.

It only means there are some occupations that regularly take a physical and emotional toll on employees — around the clock.

Take the No. 1 most stressful job on the list: enlisted military personnel. The median salary is only $28,840, but military men and women do everything from serving food in the mess hall to dodging land mines and bullets as they try to keep the peace in often hostile territories. (Some of that hostile territory is right here at home, which is why police

NEWSYOUCANUSE officers also make the top 10 most stressful list.)

Military generals, who have to come up with strategies to keep enlisted men and women both effective and safe, come in at No. 2 on the most stressful list. Median pay for the top brass, however, is $196,300, according to CareerCast.

The online employment information service considered 11 factors in coming up with its list, assigning scores to each: the higher the score, the more stressful the job. A high score was awarded if a particular demand was a major part of the job, fewer points were awarded if the demand was a small part of the job, and no points were awarded if that demand was not normally required.

The study considered travel, growth potential, deadlines, working in the public eye, competitiveness, physical demands, environmental conditions, hazards encountered, own life at risk, life of another risk and meeting the public.

At the end of the week, the Kenosha Civic Veterans Pa will be stepping off at 1 p.m Sunday. Hall of Fame pitcher Fergie Jenkins, Kenosha Kingfish manager Duffy Dyer and Joyce Westerman of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball league will headline the event. Also taking place Sunday in conjunction with Fourth of July week festivities is t nual Outdoor Mass at Pennoyer P and the Firecracker 5K and 10K throughout downtown.

ONE OF THE REASONS the Lake Association was developed was so that it could remove the weeds from Pell Lake. This is a picture of Pell Lake at night.

“You’re going to have to show the money that comes in and the money that goes out,” said Monroe.

“State law regulates all that stuff.”

He added that, if funds are raised without following those regulations, “the state will step in.”

Monroe recalled an effort, about 30 to 35 years ago, to dredge Pell Lake.

Collection jars went on counters in local businesses to raise the money for the proposed project.

Money was collected, but there was no official organization behind the effort, “no accountability,” said Monroe. “So that all fell apart.”

RING SPECIAL! AIR CONDITIONING

Weed cutting costs Last year’s weed cutting costs will be covered using the funds generated by a recent increase in utility bills.

In February, the Bloomfield Village Board approved increasing the quarterly utility bills $2.

This was done after a survey conducted by the village showed 393 Bloomfield Utility District customers supported the increase, and 69 were opposed.

On June 12, Monroe confirmed that this money will be used to pay last year’s and this year’s weed cutting costs, whatever that may be.

“We haven’t even gotten a price yet because we haven’t gotten permits from the DNR (Department of Natural Resources).”

He said, when the association is fully formed, it will have the ability to award weed cutting bids, but it will be up to the Public Works, Safety and Utility Committee — which includes members of the town and the village of Bloomfield — to approve paying those bills.

What about impact fees?

Monroe said the money received from impact fees are also state-regulated and monitored.

CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS

Trends paint grim future

Student populations for northern counties predicted to fall significantly

BY RICK OLIVO STAFF WRITER

Small rural school districts in northwestern Wisconsin will have to adapt to dramatically different conditions brought on by historic demographic changes, say researchers for the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance.

According to information compiled from federal and state agencies, a perfect storm of population and economic trends will have drastic impacts on how rural schools will operate in the upcoming decades.

Those trends include declines in student populations of up to 30

percent in some northern counties from 2010-2014, on top of the 30 to 40 percent losses some districts have already seen in the years 1997-2003.

“When you look at the most recent projections that the state has put out in terms of population growth, in particular, changes by age group, there are a couple of really significant patterns that show up,” said Dale Knapp, Research Director oft the Wisconsin Taxpayer’s Alliance. ”Some of these things we have known about for a couple of years.

“One of them is the significant increase in population aged 65 and older. As the Baby Boomers retire,

they are going to become a bigger and bigger share of the population.

But what is really more troubling is, effectively we are going to see the working-age population become essentially flat, unchanged, over the next 30 years.”

Losses in the number of working-age people in the northern part of the state could approach the catastrophic.

In Ashland County, the decline in working-age population could be 20 percent, but in Bayfield County, the projection is far worse, with a loss of 35.1 percent in the population of working-age people predicted. Price County leads the

Houston County mine permit approved Judge dismisses landowners’ petition NATHAN HANSEN Daily News‌

A controversial Houston County mine is back in business.

The Houston County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a five-year permit renewal for the Erickson quarry in the northwest part of the county, giving owners permission to mine up to 10,000 cubic yards of construction sand annually,

cubic yards of silica sand for the frac sand industry. In a separate court case, the county ordered the mine to stop work on that project during a county-wide frac sand mining moratorium, which a Wabasha County judge upheld after a 2012 lawsuit.

While the two types of sand are similar, Houston County environmental services director Rick Frank said the permit renewal keeps the old restrictions on the mine, limiting it to commercial operations and for a much smaller amount of sand each year.

The board’s decision came

About 15,000 people passed through the gate Friday, and about twice as many attended Saturday, said Leanne Doyle, Fond du Lac Festivals executive director.

Less people attended Friday’s festivities than last year, due in part to school-age kids that were still attending classes, Doyle said.

City switches major project focus to overpass

By NATHANAEL ENWALD of The Gazette The Stevens Point Board of Public Works recommended the city switch its major infrastructure priority to the Hoover Avenue railroad crossing grade separation from the Business 51 project.

The board also recommended Monday, May 12, the city move forward with the overpass selection at an estimated $12.3 million, a figure significantly less expensive than the underpass

option and what it was previously expected to cost.

A study by AECOM, an engineering firm in Stevens Point, found the project would have a more reasonable price tag.

Kevin Hagen, project designer with AECOM, previously presented four possibilities – two underpass and two overpass options – at the Board of Public Works April 14 meeting. The most appealing and affordable is an overpass with an estimated cost of $12.3 million, which

includes contingencies, property acquisition and design costs.

The most expensive option, an underpass, would cost the city $20.7 million.

One of the main financial setbacks with the underpass option is that CN (Canadian National) railroad traffic cannot be halted under the federal Interstate Commerce Clause, said Stevens Point Mayor Andrew Halverson. So, the tracks would have to be rerouted during construction and (See Overpass, page 32)

School board elects four positions during May 12 meeting

By SARAH McQUEEN of The Gazette The Stevens Point Area Public School District Board of Education elected a new president, vice president, treasurer and clerk at the May 12 meeting.

Angel Faxon was elected as board president in the first vote. She won the election 5-4 against board member Jeff Presley.

Presley was nominated for vice president by new board member Patricia “Trish” Baker and

defeated Christina Scott in a 6-3 vote.

Baker was elected as clerk. She was unopposed after the position was declined by Jeff Ebel and new board member Alex Kochanowski.

Kochanowski was elected treasurer after Scott, Renae Sheibley and Lisa Totten turned down the position.

The entire process took substantially less time than last year when the board voted 25 times for president and could not reach the required five votes to elect. That voting lasted almost five hours

and took two board meetings before Terry Rothman was elected president.

Before the voting began this year, Totten asked the board to put names on the ballots so the voting would be transparent. After looking into Robert’s Rules of Order, board members determined that if there was more than one nomination the voting would be anonymous.

The board spent some time going over policy before getting to the election itself, discussing the (See Election, page 8)

Weninger resigned from his position, effective

June 30, 2015, at the regular Stevens Point Area board meeting Monday, May 12, during closed session.

After Weninger handed in his resignation, the board voted 4-3 to not renew his contract, which expires June 30, 2015. Board members Alex Kochanowksi, Jeff Presley, Lisa Totten and Kim Shirek

voted to not renew Weninger’s contract and members Angel Faxon, Jeff Ebel and Trish Baker voted against the motion. Board members Christina Scott and Renae Sheibley were absent and left before the closed session ended.

Another group left the show on their tractors for a few hours on Saturday afternoon to parade through the back roads to Pipersville where they viewed the large

There were numerous activities for attendees at the show, but what most people found enjoyable was the opportunity to reminisce and share stories about their memories on the farm, about their favorite tractors and about how they turned what once looked like a piece of junk into a shiny functioning tractor.

Everyone has a reaction when they approach artist Chris Murphy’s mummy-like figure looking over a bridge on the Yahara River, even when it’s not lit up at night.

“It’s terrifying, just terrifying,” said Kirstin Cimo, 34, who had her husband, Justin, take a picture of her next to the art installation Sunday. “It looks so real and would be absolutely terrifying to come up on it at night.”

Murphy is one of five local artists who contributed to a monthlong art exhibition on the Near East Side, “Reflections on the Banks of the Yahara River,” organized by neighborhood residents Jessica Becker and Helen Sarakinos to celebrate the Yahara River.

John Miller’s installation features a series of silhouettes, some familiar to art lovers, in five different spots along the Yahara River.

Traffic around middle school concerns members of board

By MIKE DESOTELL EagleHerald staff writer mdesotell@eagleherald.com MARINETTE — School’s out for the summer, but thoughts of student safety are high on the list of priorities for the Marinette School Board. Members of the Finance and Facilities Committee met Monday night where the subject of traffic around the middle school came up. The area of concern is on Terrace Avenue between Water and 9th streets.

The road currently dead ends before 9th Street, making the area a driveway of sorts with parking on the north side of Terrace and on the dead end facing east. Buses and parents

Ceranski. “It’s become a concern for safe transport of families who come into the back of that building and the flow of traffic out.”

Ceranski said vehicles are currently driving over a parking area not designated as a road. He said the school board would like to work with the city and come up with a workable solution.

“I think we would meet with the city and possibly (City Engineer) Brian Miller and hopefully work out a resolve that’s beneficial to both groups,” he said. “The city may suggest a traffic engineer look at it.”

Ceranski said having that one block stretch be a one-way road may be just the ticket, but that the city

“I understand the city has a certain amount of rules they have to meet too but I’m hopeful by September.”

The committee also heard a report from Janelle Schultz, the director of nutrition for the district. She noted that the number of breakfasts and lunches served were up this year compared to last. There were 26 more breakfasts and 29 more lunches. The number of free and reduced breakfasts and lunches were also up over last year by a total of 55.

“The main thing that helped our participation increase over last year was that last year was the first year with the new USDA regulations,” she June 11, 2014 4:42 pm / said. “They gave us a little more relaxation as far as the grains and the pro-

othing says summer in Madison like a sunny day by the lakes.

And the fun unofficially begins this Memorial Day weekend.

Let’s not take it for granted.

By Labor Day, the shore could again be filled with green muck and algae, fed by an abundance of phosphorus that washes off area farms, urban lawns, streets and construction sites.

The Clean Lakes Alliance, a diverse coalition of private and public groups and individuals, continues to pursue its goal of cutting phosphorus in half. That should keep the worst effects of pollution at bay.

But it requires action by everyone.

About 75,000 pounds of phosphorus washed into the four major tributaries

WHAT DO YOU THINK? What’s your favorite thing to do in summer on or along Madison’s lakes? Send your story, 200 words or less, to wsjopine@ madison.com or to Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 8058, Madison, WI 53708. A selection of responses, received by Wednesday, will appear in next Sunday’s newspaper and online.

Mostly, though, that was because last year’s heavy rains were offset by the previous year’s drought.

So lake conditions this summer are still in doubt.

The good news is that Madison and the region continue to rally for the cause. Supporters of clean lakes include farmers northwest of Lake Mendota, where most of the problem is coming from because of manure. They’re adopt-

leaks, manure digesters still show promise in stopping phosphorus from leaving farms. The digesters use bacteria to convert manure into methane gas.

The region’s growing coalition of lake lovers also includes many city dwellers who trap rainwater, keep leaves out of city streets and forgo phosphorus-laden fertilizer.

Madison and other municipalities are doing more to slow and settle storm water before it reaches Mendota, Monona and the rest of the Yahara chain of lakes.

That reduces the amount of nutrient-rich sediment that reaches the water.

O.V. “Verne” Shaffer will receive a certificate of appreciation by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker on Friday at the Beloit Fine Arts Incubator. Shaffer, 86, has massive artworks and sculptures all around Beloit and beyond.

O.V. Shaffer: Beloit artist with vision of great scale

By Hillary Gavan hgavan@beloitdailynews.com O.V. “Verne” Shaffer relishes the freedom to illustrate that which has no name, often in gargantuan proportions.

Although some say Shaffer has created more than 1,200 works of art, the artist said it’s more like one large-scale sculpture per each of his 60 years of work. And “large” is what the 86-year-old Shaffer loves the most.

“Metal is preferable. I do it because I can do it alone. I can build it big and I can make it any shape,” he said.

One of his fond memories was working on “Celebration” in 1977.

Fishing: opening ceremony set for 8 a.m. Friday FROM PAGE 1A teers will be involved in the special fishing weekend at Wild Eagle. Participants will fish aboard about 20 donated pontoons.

“The Wild Eagle Lodge always does a wonderful job of hosting the event,” said Campbell. “We are fine on the number of pontoons, but we could use a few more volunteers to help participants on and off pontoons, get gear set

up and help with the fishing on the pontoons.”

Opening ceremonies will start at 8 a.m. Friday, followed by fishing throughout the day.

Campbell said there will be gifts for the participants recognizing the 21st anniversary of the event in Eagle River.

“All participants will begin the event with a flag-raising ceremony and then board pontoon boats to enjoy a day of fishing,” said Campbell.

“The day will end with a tra-

ditional Friday night fish fry.”

Fishing will continue all day Saturday, followed by another evening cookout on the Wild Eagle Lodge grounds, entertainment and the presentation of door prizes.

Activities on Sunday will include fishing in the morning, followed by lunch at noon and the awards ceremony at 1 p.m. Campbell said activities should wrap up about 2 p.m.

Campbell said FHNB is an

educational, nonprofit volunteer organization.

“Its mission is to open up the great outdoors to all people with disabilities through the world of fishing,” he said.

“So many of the Eagle River participants come back year after year because they enjoy the camaraderie of the weekend.”

To volunteer for the Eagle River event, call Campbell at (715) 479-9309 or (260) 4375729.

Black Bear looks forward to growth

By HEATHER RONALDSON hronaldson@jrn.com

Oak Creek — Even though construction of Black Bear Bottling Group’s additional warehouse space is slated for completion in 2015, the bottling plant is already looking forward to its growth.

Black Bear currently operates out of two buildings located across the street from each other in Oak Creek. Its headquarters stands at 2025 W. South Branch Blvd.; the production facility is housed at 9770 S. 20th St. Black Bear produces beverages on

four at that location.

Increased business, “a really good base for employees” and investments in machinery and the production process account for warehouse expansion, said Peter Caruso, president and owner. Black Bear’s output capacity has grown four times in the last three years, he said.

Black Bear has also doubled its employment in the last year.

When warehouse expansion is complete, Black Bear expects to hire10 to15 new employees. It currently hires 33 full-time employees and up to 30 temporary workers.

“If hawks see an empty nest, they will eat the eggs, eat the young,” Tomasini said.

After eight weeks, the hatchlings will take their first flight, and then the cycle starts over.

Masarich, 17, said he has long considered a career in environmental science. Though he has a particular interest in marine biology, he said he would consider ornithology “It would be a cool thing to get into,” he said.

Tomasini said he does not know how long the rookery at ULS will last. As the trees die off, the birds are forced to fight over limited space. Eventually, they will move the rookery to a more-shaded area.

“They might go to a different portion of campus, or they might take off altogether and A great blue heron nests in the rookery at ULS. go somewhere else,” he said.

From left; Hackett Elementary School’s Celeste Diaz, Kassandra Gonzalez and Armando Gonzalez, also members of the Brother Dutton St. Peter’s Drum and Bugle Corps led by Jim Simmons, played at the music room dedication held Friday. Hackett’s first music room was named after Jim Simmons’ father, Joseph Simmons, the founder of Anatowind Music Clinic.

Hackett School music room honors Anatowind founder

By Hillary Gavan hgavan@beloitdailynews.com The Hackett Hawks were clapping to an encore performance of “When the Saints Go Marching In,” led by James Simmons and other musical guests from Anatowind Music Clinic on Friday afternoon.

The foot stomping performance was part of a ceremony to name Hackett’s first-ever music room after the late Joseph Simmons, founder of Anatowind Music Clinic.

Joseph Simmons is well remembered for instructing generations of Beloit children in music education at his clinic which was a longtime neighbor to the school. In addition to loving his family, Hackett Principal Marcia Schwengels said that Joseph Simmons loved music and

Simmon’s 94-year-old mother as she looked at the plaque honoring her husband.

Anatowind Music Clinic was recently relocated to Bluff Street, due to a generous decision by the Simmons family to ensure enough space was available for the Hackett addition, which would allow for music and art rooms. Previously the school had music and art on carts.

The celebration of the Joseph Simmons included a performance

by Anatowind board members and students. Representing the board was: Clif Vandre on cornet, Jack Schroeder on drums and Tom Burt on trumpet and guitar. Anatowind student performers included: Trenton Leffel on baritone and tuba, and Alex Schroeder on French horn,

Soldier and his family struggle to cope with damage to man’s brain from shooter’ Associated Press ROCHESTER, Minn. — Patrick Zeigler sits quietly in a traveling museum celebrating 150 years of the Mayo Clinic.

Patrick is volunteering his time at the wounded warrior display. Visitors stop to read the text and view the pictures around him. Some notice Patrick’s Army cap and his service dog, Ranger, then extend a hand to thank Patrick for his service.

A woman asks Patrick if his legs were injured. “No ma’am,” he tells her, “I was shot in the head.”

Patrick was at Fort Hood in 2009, completing his paperwork upon his return from his second tour in Iraq. The Army staff sergeant had recently been accepted to officer candidate school and was excited to get started, KARE-TV reported.

His well-made plans were interrupted when Nidal Hasan, an Army major, yelled “Allahu Akbar” and

“I could see his laser pointing around, and it actually hit me in the eyes,” Patrick recalled.

“And I looked right at him, and then he pulled the trigger, and that was it.”

The shot knocked Patrick to the floor. Blood streaming from his head, instinctively, he tried to crawl away. Hasan shot him three more times.

Thirteen people died at the end of Hasan’s gun.

A family visits a display called “Cat Act" in the new “Caught in the Act” exhibit at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo. The exhibit, launched last week to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the Ringling Brothers Circus, includes circus memorabilia and dioramas from the 1960s.

araboo — Prowling through the Circus World archives and library last winter, staff members and volunteers uncovered unusual, longforgotten and just plain odd memorabilia.

8 Like a section of Jumbo the elephant’s ivory tusk and a few strands of his tail.

8 A well-worn chair used by a lion tamer to fend off his bewhiskered coworkers and a tall cage that housed the giraffe.

8 Century-old circus trinkets sold to exasperated parents tired of their souvenir-hunting kids tugging on their arm.

8 And a flea circus complete with flea high-wire act and tiny wagons pulled by performing fleas.

New exhibit in Baraboo honors Ringling’s 130th — ‘Wow, we have this?’ ” said Circus World executive director Scott O’Donnell, hired last fall. “I didn’t know we had a complete flea circus.”

To commemorate the 130th anniversary of the Ringling Brothers Circus, last week Circus World opened the museum’s first major permanent exhibit since 1988.

Called “Caught in the Act,” the exhibit in the Irvin Feld Exhibit Hall and Visitor Center features old circus posters, three circus wagons and floats, a collection of circus musical instruments, costumes and other unusual memorabilia from Circus World’s voluminous archives.

Several of the “Caught in the Act” exhibits are interactive, including a side

show booth where the occupant transforms into a gorilla, a motorcycle in front of video shot from inside a Globe of Death, and a high wire trapeze. Visitors are encouraged to take photos of themselves to post on social media.

“We’ve got to stay current. Much like the circus and Ringling Brothers, you have to keep re-inventing yourself,” said O’Donnell, who spent two decades working in circuses. “The question is how do we make ourselves relevant? The Ringling Brothers Circus was this crazy, magical world that came from this landlocked Midwestern town.”

The five Ringling brothers performed their first circus on May 19, 1884, in the backyard of the county jail property on Broadway St. in Baraboo. Within a few years, the family created the famous Please see CIRCUS, 4B

Parkview’s Circle of Friends fosters support, camaraderie for special needs kids ELIZABETH DOHMS elizabeth.dohms@lee.net

Some students come from troubled homes, some don’t get birthday cards, others are lonely and then there are those who are just shy.

Parkview Elementary in Chippewa Falls has found a way to provide support for those students while teaching lessons of friendship and empathy.

The Circle of Friends program, spearheaded by Parkview physical education teacher, Terri Weichel, serves special needs students by pairing them with fifth graders who volunteer to join the program.

Weichel worked with a now-retired special education teacher to start the program about a decade ago. Now, the program has grown to include other

ON THE WEB For a gallery of Wednesday’s Circle of Friends walk at Parkview, visit chippewa.com. educators, like guidance counselors who spend time teaching students different types of special needs.

“We all work together to give kids an idea of what it means to have special needs,” Parkview Guidance Counselor Paula Millar said.

One of the ways Millar accomplishes that is by asking the students to draw four circles: one for themselves, another for family, one for people who care and finally one for friends.

She explains that a girl with special needs might have no one in her circle of friends.

“They get the academics of it so they can get the empathy,” Weichel said.

Eleven-year-old Kaira Smiskey said the program simply provides someone for the kids to talk with.

“Some kids don’t have a good home life,” she said. “It gives them the support to carry on for the rest of the day.”

Reagan Rivard said although initially she didn’t plan on joining the program, she knew how it felt to be bullied and have few friends — something she experienced at her former school.

Together, Rivard and fellow classmate Kaitlin Schope mentor Brandon, a kindergartener who once was shy and now spends his recess crawling on his mentors, flashing huge smiles and giggling in the process.
