Pulling a long seine in Lake Michigan shallows is a nocturnal rite of spring observed by generations of families in lake ports. In years past, the nets were often dragged to shore with heavy burdens of silvery smelt. That is but a cherished memory for today’s smelt fisherman, but some keep trying in spite of the virtual disappearance of the fish. Among them on Port Washington’s south beach last weekend were Jay Kanzelberger, 10-year-old Chase Kanzelberger and Jason Mueller. They told the Ozaukee Press photographer they didn’t expect to find any smelt, but it was such a fine night they had to give it a shot.

Making the connection Women’s conference highlights need to bridge growing urban gap By Danielle Endvick Regional Editor | danielle.endvick@ecpc.com

MENOMONIE — With 70 percent of the world population expected to be classified as “urban” by 2050, the agriculture industry faces a looming chasm of disconnect, David Kohl said as he addressed a multi-generational crowd at an AgStar Women’s Seminar March 25 in Menomonie. The event was one of six such AgStar Edge seminars held in Wisconsin and Minnesota last week to honor women involved in all aspects of agriculture. Kohl, a world traveler, valued speaker and professor emeritus

Among those changes are the recent shifts in the grain and cattle industries. “The grain industry was doing very well, at the detriment of the cattle industry; now it’s Kohl flip-flopped,” Kohl said, noting the days of easy money for grain producers are gone, ushering in an era where they’d best mind their margins.

of agricultural economics, small business management and entrepreneurship at Virginia Tech, stressed that the world economy — and with it, the dynamics of American agriculture — are rapidly changing, making it more important than ever for farm families, women included, to be on their game.

Building Commission backs UW Hospital parking project Expansion of the ramp will cost $32.6 million. KEVIN MURPHY For the State Journal

A $32.6 million expansion of the University of Wisconsin Hospital parking ramp approved Wednesday by the state Building Commission completes current parking projects for the campus’ west side, a university official said. The existing six-story ramp, located on Highland Avenue, is the only parking facility for hospital patients and visitors. It already is operating at 95 percent capacity daily. Demand has increased because of the loss of about 500 nearby

a six-level horizontal expansion on the 1,410-stall ramp’s east and south sides. An elevator, lobby and new valet service exit will be added to the expanded ramp. “This is essentially … replacing parking already lost on the west side,” said William Elvey, UW-Madison assistant chancellor for facilities planning and management. The ramp opened in 1992 with 1,054 stalls; a 2001 expansion brought it to its current configuration. “We won’t be able to add any more parking on the site after this project,” Elvey said. The ramp addition completes the campus’ parking master plan

a balance is struck between not over-building parking facilities and not over-burdening parking on city streets, Roe said. On Tuesday, the commission increased the project cost by $6.4 million to include turn lanes and median openings on Highland Avenue that the city of Madison requested. Adding LED lighting throughout the ramp, along with a need to make minor structural repairs, also increased the project budget, Roe said. The cost of the addition is large enough that it may delay some future projects, he said.

MEGAN SHERIDAN, DAILY CITIZEN

The sun sets over Beaver Dam Lake in this Daily Citizen file photo. Beaver Dam Lake Improvement Association has landed a second Lake Management Planning Grant.

Lake management plan to be developed Daily Citizen Staff

Beaver Dam Lake Improvement Association has received a $24,000 grant that will allow it to complete a lake management plant, according to Bill Boettge, president of BDLIA. The association launched an effort to develop a lake management plan in 2012. That effort was derailed when the expert it was working with pursued a professional opportunity in Asia. BDLIA had received a

Wisconsin DNR Lake Management Planning Grant for the initial effort, but had expended much of that money with a survey of area residents, lab work and environmental studies. The BDLIA board announced in August 2013 it would pursue a second grant to help complete the plan and is working with Onterra, a firm from De Pere. The plan is expected to cost around $36,000, with BDLIA providing $12,000. “It’s very good news that

we got the second grant,” Boettge said. The work under this grant will begin this spring and include assessments of the lake’s water quality, aquatic plant life, shoreline condition and watershed. The technical components will be combined with public input. BDLIA had conducted a survey of 1,600 residents who lived near the lake in 2013 and Please see LAKE, Page A2

Towns is to support a model for growth that allows America’s towns to become financially strong and resilient. Kumon said that cities have three sources of funding: state and federal government, state and federal department of transportation and local sources. Cities have the ability to create new growth and development through any combination of these. This adds a new tax base which also adds value to the city, he added. The consultant also told the council that one community in Minnesota accumulated ‘wealth’ overtime by having one generation putting one foot

in front of the other and making small improvements upwards, outwards and more intensely. These are the basic building blocks of cities today. “I invite you to take a look for yourself, take a look at the development patterns in your community, take a look at where the places are most financially productive and say if we’re looking for new development what should we try to encourage in our community and what should that look like and how should it perform,” Kumon said. “This place has a lot of really good things going for it.

Walker Polhamus of Sparta was first in steer wrestling, Dixon Hestetune of Cashton was first in team roping and third in bull riding, and Nora Hestetune of Cashton was third in barrel racing. Schneider, a Potosi High School student, was the top all-around cowboy for the weekend. Antigo’s Jesse Schreiner was the top all-around cowgirl. Competition was held for both high school and j u n i o r h i g h a t h l e te s. All the Monroe County entrants were in the high school division. Tomah was the fourth of seven regionals that feed into the state high school finals in Richland Center June 12-15. There are six junior high regionals. The junior high finals and seventh high school regional will be held in Lancaster May 30-June 1. Walker Polhamus of Sparta and his horse burst from the chute during calf roping.

“It was a fun bus ride h o m e ( f ro m L o ga n ) ,” Tomah coach Matt Zieba said. “It’s one they’ve been looking for and have earned.” Tomah belted 12 hits, drew 10 walks and took advantage of six Logan errors. Zieba said his hitters deserve credit for drawing the walks. “Guys were very patient at the plate,” Zieba said. “Some of the walks were after a 0-2 count, so guys were just making them throw a lot of pitches and being selective.” At the other end of the spectrum, Tomah starting

pitcher Tyler Cardon kept the ball in the strike zone for five innings before getting relief help from Ethan Eckelberg. Cardon struck out three and walked just one. Four Tomah batters had more than one hit. They were led by Dylan Derousseau, who was three-forfive. Christian Wagenson doubled for the Timberwolves’ only extra-base hit. It was the T imberwolves’ first road victory of the season. “The first MVC win is always big,” Zieba said. “It definitely gives them a boost of confidence

With some 20,872 tags left, plenty of opportunities left in the three most productive zones in the state, during what should be the most beautiful time of spring 2014, what with wild flowers and wild fruit trees bursting forth with color, morel mushrooms at their peak and the major migration of song birds and waterfowl adding a rainbow of colors to the wild country. And while there haven’t been lots of prime days to be on the hunt during the first three periods, there have been a number of successful hunters and thus far, I have gotten over a dozen sets of wings, half of which will turn into wingbone calls for the successful hunters and the other half going to local National Wild Turkey Federation chapters for use at their fundraising banquets.

KM coach Steve Lewis is excited about what could happen during the 2014 season. “I thought our kids did a very good job to finish fourth,” Lewis said. “It’s not easy to crack the top four spots in this conference. The league is loaded every year. When you’ve got teams like Arrowhead, Mukwonago and Waukesha West to compete against every year, it gets tough. I saw a lot of good things from the team today.” The Lasers had finished in sixth place the last two years at the league indoor meet.

The combination of sophomore Morgan Hobbs, freshman Brynn Bartlett, freshman Annie Hughes and senior Jackie Dubnicka won the 4x800-meter relay with a time of 9:54.25. “We had a couple of girls have a great three-event meet,” Kaczor said. “Kathleen Wartman and and Ceanna Soper ran both hurdle races and the 220 and they both raced hard. They combined to score 47 points for us. Mary Bartelson finished third in the long jump, second in the 400 and ran the anchor leg on the 1,600 relay that finished second.” In the 60 dash, besides the win by Bong, Miranda Winkelman took third (7.93) and Marissa Kildow fifth (8.03). Soper in second (28.39) and Jenna Goulet fifth (29.02) behind Wartman in the 220. Arrowhead grabbed three places in the 440.

In a back-and-forth battle typical of border rivals, Kayla Grant knocked in the winning run in the top of the ninth as the Oak Creek softball team outlasted area rival Franklin, 5-4, in a nine-inning Southeast

Conference contest April 10. “Yes, it was a wild game,” said Knight coach Jeff Trask. “It felt good to finally pull one of these close games out finally.” “It was a tough loss, but the bright side is that our girls are willing to work to get better,” said Saber coach Thomas Thurin. “They want to get better. We

are on the cusp of being a really good team, and if we continue to improve, we will be a tough out this season.” With the win, Oak Creek improved to 2-4 on the season (1-2 in league play) while Franklin fell to 2-2 overall and 1-2 in Southeast action. Both teams scored once in

the first with Franklin taking 2-1 advantage in the fifth. That inning could have been much bigger for Franklin, but the Knights’ Alex Widenski made a running catch in center field and then threw a runner out at home for a double play. Please see OUTLASTS, Page 18

Gruett jumps into congressional race

Move to secede from U rebuke party moderat on agenda for next we

CHILTON—A university professor says he’s running as a Democrat for Wisconsin’s 8th congressional district, a seat held by Republican Reid Ribble since 2011. Ron Gruett said Friday he would be more attentive to the middle class than Ribble, who he says is a perfect fit for the top 1 percent of wage earners. The 64-year-old Chilton professor teaches chemistry and physics at Marian University in Fond du Lac. Gruett said he’s become frustrated with Ribble’s vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act and other votes that he says have hurt the middle class. Gruett faces an uphill battle in fundraising. Ribble has nearly $1 million in the bank as of March 31st.

Associated Press MADISON

Candidate invites voters to party MADISON—Democratic gubernatorial candidate Brett Hulsey is inviting voters to come party with him over the weekend, as he launches his longshot bid to win the party’s nomination. Hulsey released his weekend campaign schedule on Friday with the subject line of “feel free to tag along.” Candidates who publicize their whereabouts in detail days in advance is increasingly rare. But Hulsey is running a shoestring campaign with little chance of success against the better funded and more organized effort of former state commerce secretary Mary Burke. Hulsey’s unusual campaign schedule reads more like a social calendar. It included “Beers with Brett” at the UW-Madison Memorial Union on Friday afternoon, two hours at the Madison farmer’s market today and two hours of tailgating before the Brewers game tonight.

UP FRONT STATEWIDE - On Thursday, April 24, a statewide tornado drill is planned. At 1 p.m., the National Weather Service will issue a statewide mock tornado watch and at 1:45 p.m. a statewide mock tornado warning. In addition, NOAA weather radios (also known as emergency weather radios) will issue alert messaging. This is an ideal opportunity for schools, businesses and families to practice safe procedures for severe weather. The tornado drill will take place even if the sky is cloudy, dark and/or rainy. If actual severe storms are expected in the state on Thursday April 24, the tornado drill will be postponed until Friday, April 25 with the same times. - from ••• NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - April 20-26 is Wildfire Prevention Week across Wisconsin and other Great Lakes states. The DNR says this is a good time to remind everyone of the very real annual threat of wildfires. The risk of a wildfire became a dramatic reality in Douglas County last May. A single spark in a forest ignited the Germann Road Fire, the largest wildfire in Wisconsin in 30 years. About 100 homes and seasonal cabins were in the path of the fire. After the fire was extinguished, a total of 23 homes and seasonal cabins along with another 80 outbuildings had been consumed. See “It’s time to start protecting your property from wildfire,” inside this issue. - with information from DNR ••• STATEWIDE - The Wisconsin Survey from Wisconsin Public Radio and St. Norbert College’s Strategic Research Institute shows most people in the state think the minimum wage should be raised, but maybe not as high as $10.10 per hour. Of all respondents, 57 percent favor raising the wage to $10.10. There is more support for raising the current wage of $7.25, but not necessarily that high. “Seventy-five percent say that we should do that,” said Wendy Scattergood, an analyst with St. Norbert April 21, pm / College. “That’s a majority of Democrats, Republicans, Independents.

Clarann Stocker new Tomahawk mayor; Bob Lee reflects on seven terms he served he also looks forward to seeing the old Sacred Heart Hospital replaced with a new assisted living facility, as it will create a number of jobs in the community and address a building that has long sat vacant. “I always kept the best interest of the community in mind,” Lee said in noting much of the accolades need to go to the great employees the city has had and continues to have working for it. “I am proud of my time served. I never micromanaged and that is the way it should be.”

By Jed Buelow Tomahawk Leader City Editor jbuelow@tomahawkleader.com

For the first time in 14 years, the city of Tomahawk has a new mayor. By a vote of 209-184, or a 25-vote difference, businesswoman Clarann Stocker unseated incumbent Bob Lee, who was seeking his eighth consecutive two-year term as mayor of the city. Prior to being elected to mayor, Lee also served on the Tomahawk Common Council for 15 years. The first female mayor ever elected in the city, Stocker said part of the reason she ran was because she believes in term limits. She also has a number of goals she would like to achieve during her time. They include creating a sound economic base in the city, increasing industrial jobs, securing grants for real estate improvement and maintaining the city’s natural beauty. For Lee, the election results provided an opportunity to look back on a long career, as well as the chance to look forward to spending more time with his family and grandchildren. Instead of being at city government meetings on many Tuesday nights, he said he now plans to be in attendance at some of his granddaughter’s volleyball games that he otherwise would have been forced to

miss. “I have always believed that you have to pay back where you came from, and I believe I was able to do that over my time,” Lee said. “I believe you owe something to the community, and I look back on my 15 years on the council and 14 years as mayor with great pride.” Lee said some of the things he is most proud of from his time as mayor are the efforts that were made to bring Louisiana-Pacific (LP) to Tomahawk as well as the city’s efforts to retain HarleyDavidson when other communities were vying to lure away the business. He said

Despite the snow and cold, American robins are beginning to find their way to the state’s northern reaches.

Spring bird migration finally hit Wisconsin in earnest last week, especially in the southern half of the state. Early-season short distance migrants were well-represented there, including eastern phoebe, tree swallow, yellow-bellied sapsucker, fox sparrow, hermit thrush, winter wren, purple finch, golden-crowned kinglet and other songbirds. Waterfowl have really moved in as well, including the full diversity of dabbling ducks and plenty of divers on larger water bodies. Large numbers of greater white-fronted geese were found this week in flooded fields, along with a smattering of snow and Ross’s geese among flocks of Canadas. Tundra swans made their initial push as well, particularly across the eastern tier from Green Bay southward, while sightings of trumpeter swans continue to increase statewide. Shorebirds in the south included the expected killdeer, greater and

Spring has been much slower to come to the north, where deep ice and snow cover persists. American robin, red-winged blackbird, common grackle, sandhill crane, eastern meadowlark, darkeyed junco, northern flicker, great blue heron and a few species of ducks have been found all the way north to Lake Superior, but in general numbers of most of these species have been very low. Golden eagle migration has peaked while nearly 300 bald eagles were tallied during migration on Sunday in northern Bayfield County. The first red-tailed and sharpshinned hawks, American kestrels, and peregrine falcons have also returned to the north.

By Jamie Taylor of The Lakeland Times At the quarterly meeting of the Oneida County Unit of the Wisconsin Towns Association held last Wednesday at the Hazelhurst Town Hall, State Senator Tom Tiffany, (R-Hazelhurst) gave his views on the recent session of the legislature and some of the issues that came up during it. Tiffany also weighed in on the Voter ID Law that was ruled unconstitutional earlier that day by a federal judge. “We closed up the session for the 2013-14 session of legislature, and the

only thing that would bring us back is if there is a special section called by the governor. There’s an outside chance after the court ruling today, that could happen, but other than that, we’re done for this session,” Tiffany said. He said probably the biggest thing the legislature did in the second half of the session was deal with a budget surplus b returning most of the money to the property owners of the state. Tiffany said that in January. the Fiscal Bureau identified that there was almost a billion dollar surplus in this budget, See TIFFANY. . . page 10

said the slight sag in the beam should not be a problem because the wood is solid within the beam,” said McDonald. McDonald said the engineer will provide several options that could help rectify the problem. “It might include adding several bolts where the crosssections meet the beam,” said McDonald. “He also told us we could check the tightness

One of the most recognizable birds in the Northwoods is the Blue Jay. Their distinctive blue color and crest make them easy to spot in the foliage. They have heavy bills which they use to crack open a variety of nuts, acorns and cocoons. They are extremely loud and aggressive, often using their shrill cries to warn other birds and animals of impending danger. The Blue Jay's crest is used as a communication tool to convey the bird’s mood. When the crest is erected, making a prominent peak, the bird is excited, surprised, or aggressive. If the jay is frightened, the crest will be bristled out in all directions. If the bird is relaxed, the crest is laid flat on the head. Looks like this one feels right at home in Kris Rankin's yard! -Photo Courtesy of Kris Rankin

North diver finishes career with state medal, three team records

By McLean Bennett

mbennett@sheboyganpress.com

It was the year of the diver at Sheboygan North. On a boys swimming team laden with some strong talent in the water — Nic Cox, Truman Scheibel and Brayden Schuh were strong contenders in the Golden Raiders’ pool lanes — his acrobatic genius on the diving board made this one heck of a year for Marcel Harris. The senior, who capped a meteoric climb up the state diving charts during the last three years with a secondplace finish — his best ever — in Madison last month assured himself plenty of posterity points by breaking all three North diving records this season. Then he was named the Fox River Classic Conference’s Diver of the Year. Time for one more mantelpiece to hang in the proverbial trophy case: Sheboygan Press Media All-Area Swimmer of the Year. “It’s an incredible run he’s had the last four years,” North diving coach Chad Velier said. “He put in the work, he was very dedicated, he went above and beyond his junior/senior year.” His name could be atop North’s diving record books for a long time: He broke the school’s team 11-dive competition record (with a score of 481.40), and set team and North pool records in the six-dive competition (both at 318.75). That, plus his secondplace podium finish in Madison, made Harris a natural choice for the newspaper award. Nobody, it seemed — save for Neenah’s Draven Feustel, who edged

She currently leads the nation with a school record 29 goals and ranks tied for fourth in the country with 40 points. Greeneway’s season totals also include nine power play goals, a pair of short-handed scores, five game-winners and four hat tricks. She recorded at least one point in 16 consecutive appearances from November-February and in 20 of 25 games overall. She is the first player in program history to earn All-American honors twice.

Cub Scouts race homemade cars in Pinewood Derby Over 30 cars are entered in the annual event JACK KNOWLES Associate Editor

More than 30 home built race cars competed in one of Cub Scouting’s oldest and most popular annual events....the Pinewood Derby, Sunday afternoon. About 300 fans, mostly Moms, Dads, siblings, and grandparents, enjoyed the three hours of excitement as the small cars raced down a surprisingly long track running through the center of the Elementary School gymnasium. All the cars were created at home by the Cub Scouts themselves, with an occasional, technical bit of advice from Dad or another “semi-skilled” adult! All of the entries had to undergo an inspection as to weight and other building regulations. Several mechanical minded volunteers were “on call” to lend some emergency assistance to concerned builders when needed. One problem of a lack of

weight was taken care of by several quarters taped to the car’s roof! Usually, the most unusual problem was solved by the most unusual solution! The important thing, after all, was that every Cub Scout became part of the race. Pack 83 Cub Master Jim Fuchs, who served as emcee throughout the afternoon kept things running smoothly even without the help of a screen monitor that took a nap when it was needed most to post results of each race. Competition was between the Wolf, Bear, Lion, and Webelo dens. As each group of “builder-drivers” was introduced, they waked down to the finish line and prepared to cheer their creation to victory while several judges and a computer made the winning calls. Some of the races were amazingly close, within a half inch and a fraction of a second! And that’s exactly why high-tech equipment is needed at the finish line! The cars were on display when not being raced, so spectators could vote on the most See DERBY/ page 4

Leaders and track helpers kept watch on the high-tech computer equipment at the finish line that determined the official results of every race during Cub Scout Pack 83’s annual Pinewood Derby Sunday afternoon at the Hillsboro Elementary School gymnasium. About 300 spectators cheered for their favorite homemade entries.
