Advice for the winter blues P

oet T.S. Elliot wrote “April is the cruelest month.” He obviously never lived in Wisconsin. Late February is by far the cruelest. And for those who suffer from the winter blues, the February freeze can be downright torture. Now for those hearty souls who thrive on cold weather activities like ice fishing, you probably want to move on to the next story. But if, on the other hand, you find your tolerance for winter substantially waning around this time of the year … listen. There is hope for what ails ya. And I know you’re out there. While I’m no expert on this matter, I’ve done enough research to understand this phenomenon. You see, I have a personal stake in it.

Cold temps don’t stop tappers, but they put maple syrup dreams on hold With spring just three weeks away, it was time Saturday, Feb. 28, to start tapping sugar maple trees at Riveredge Nature Center in the Town of Saukville. Stretching to reach the drill, 5-year-old Annika Spaeth of Fredonia lent a hand with help from Riveredge volunteer Richard “Lefty” Fowler. Although those participating in the end-of-winter tradition did their part, the weather has yet to cooperate.

the officer involved in Madison, Matt Kenny, the day after the shooting. He volunteered to reporters that the officer had been in a previous fatal shooting in 2007, and that he had been cleared of wrongdoing. On the day that Ferguson police named the officer who shot Brown, they also released video showing what they said was Brown robbing a store. When Koval was asked about Robinson’s past criminal record Saturday, he declined to comment, saying it would be inappropriate to do so a day after the man died. “We have a police chief who genuinely feels for a family’s loss. It should be abundantly clear to anyone following this incident that Madison, Wisconsin, is not Ferguson, Missouri,” said Jim Palmer, executive director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, the state’s largest police union. But the chief’s measured approach

hasn’t impressed some demonstrators. Koval angered some of them earlier this year with a blog post demanding they stop blaming police for their problems. “There are no apologies that can repair the loss or deal with the loss of (Robinson),” said Brandi Grayson, an organizer with Young, Gifted and Black, a Madison group that has demonstrated against what it says is mistreatment of blacks by the justice system. “This was bound to happen. There’s nothing the chief can say short of changing the system.” No one answered the door at Robinson’s mother’s home on Sunday.

Some people were even out in shorts. So, I liked what I heard but not so much what I saw. That’s because I live above our dreaded municipal parking ramp, and the de-icing of my windows finally brought it into clear view. Yuck. When interviewing for my reporter job, my boss said if hired I’d have to keep my eye on the parking ramp. It was a big issue here. Well, maybe I’m over-eager to please or just plain gullible, but I took her literally. That’s right, I found a place to live that looks directly at the ramp. Sure enough, everywhere I go, be it a meeting or a social setting, the darn thing is a topic of discussion. Funny how something that should come down always comes up. And in each conversation, people come down with a case of the “yeah-buts.” For example: “The ramp is falling apart. Heck, a bunch of the spots are deemed unsafe.” “Yeah, but without it the Square will get even more crowded.” “Yeah, but we can move people along with two-hour parking restrictions.” “Yeah, but that requires enforcement. And it creates an unfriendly, non-inviting image.” “Yeah, but we really need that spot where the ramp sits for economic growth.

Families flock to Houston for Festival of Owls LEAH PERRI Winona Daily News‌

Families from all over the area flocked to Houston for the 13th annual International Festival of Owls, held Friday through Sunday. They moseyed through the decorated halls of Houston H igh School, popping into classrooms every now and then to do all things owl: Owl arts-and-crafts, owl paper mask decorating, storytelling, owl pellet dissecting, nest box

owl merchandise and owl baked goods — there was even an owlthemed lunch. The event also showcased live owls throughout the day. Clint Phillips of Austin, Minn. attended the festival with his wife and three sons, Abe, 7, Zeke, 5 and Levi, 3. The boys had been studying owls at home for a while, he said, so the event was a great opportunity to see a live owl up close and do some fun activities. Abe said his favorite owl was the snowy owl “because it was the biggest.” He also enjoyed dissecting an owl pellet and trying to figure out what animal the owl had eaten. “I got to see all the bones in it,

Later in the afternoon, there was a Kids Hooting Contest. More than 40 kids signed up to show off their very best owl hoots. The children were invited up on the stage five at a time and were asked to specify which species of owl they were going to imitate.

Raccoons celebrate Senior Night triumph OHS shares second place in conference By Mark Hutchinson Enterprise Staff

OCONOMOWOC — Cameron Wolf said he showed up at the postgame press conference so he wouldn’t get fined. But the Oconomowoc High School junior had something to say, too, following his team’s 59-46 Senior Night boys basketball victory over Hartford on Feb. 26.

“This was a great win,” Wolf said. “Our seniors are great, hard-working people. It was great to get a 13-point win against a good team.” The Raccoons finished their Wisconsin Little Ten Conference season 10-4, in a tie for second place with Beaver Dam. Wisconsin Lutheran clinched its 10th consecutive WLT title with a 78-53 triumph over Slinger and finished 11-3. “It was a fun night,” Oconomowoc coach Kurt Melton said. “The seniors played well. It wasn’t sending them out; we celebrated the seniors. We still think

there’s some time left and we’re going to keep working. “We earned a bye Tuesday and a home playoff game (Friday against Beloit Memorial), so we’ll keep practicing and get ready.” Oconomowoc forward Chris Schick, who started alongside fellow seniors Zach Helwig, Jason Brandl, Jac Quinette and Jordan Makinen, scored five of his 13 points in the third quarter, during which the Raccoons outscored the Orioles 16-4 to overcome a 24-22 halftime deficit.

Kaukauna's Robert Lee celebrates after winning his second consecutive state title and his third overall. Lee defeated Burlington's Ben Hornickle in the 138-pound championship match by a decision of 5-4.

“You never leave here completely satisfied,” he said. “You’re happy obviously for Robert, and a kid like Zach Shukoski to take fifth, I think you’re really happy for him, he maxed it out, so that’s great. Bailey (VanHandel lost in) overtime and came back and wrestled great, lost a

Court docs: Shooting victim was impulsive MADISON (AP) — An unarmed black man fatally shot by a white Wisconsin police officer tended to be an impulsive risk-taker and faced a choice between a middle-class lifestyle and the gang world, according to court documents. T h e f i l e c o n n e c te d to 19-year-old Tony Robinson’s conviction last year for armed robbery shows he was diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder and anxiety and depression. The documents were contained in a

report by a state Department of Corrections agent. Madison police officer Matt Kenny shot Robinson Robinson late Friday while investigating a call that the young man was jumping in and out of traffic and had assaulted someone. The officer heard a disturbance and forced his way into an

apartment where Robinson had gone. Authorities said Kenny fired after Robinson assaulted him. Madison Police Chief Mike Koval, who is white, has tried to strike a conciliatory tone with the city’s black community, calling Robinson’s death a tragedy and even going so far as praying with Robinson’s grandmother in her driveway hours after the shooting. On Monday, he wrote on his blog that he was sorry Robinson died and hoped

his family could find forgiveness in their hearts. “The police are part of this community — and we share this sense of loss,” Koval wrote. Police spokesman Joel DeSpain clarified in an email that Koval was not acknowledging any wrongdoing by Kenny or the department. The state Justice Department’s Division of Criminal Investigation is leading the

ATF moves to ban ammo for popular hunting rifle

Proposed regulation would repeal 1986 exemption for certain AR15 rounds

By Richard Moore of The Lakeland Times In a move condemned by gun-rights groups, the Obama administration is moving to ban ammunition for one of the nation’s most popular hunting rifles, the AR-15. According to a draft regulatory “framework,” the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives would reinterpret an almost 30-year-old law regulating armor-piercing

ammunition. The reinterpretation would remove an exemption for a popular AR-15 ammunition, M855 cartridges. Specifically, the executive

action would outlaw the manufacture, importation, and sale of the ammunition. In the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings in late 2012, President Barack Obama tried but failed to get the AR-15 itself banned. The U.S. Department of Justice says the ATF began drafting the framework because it had received more than 30 exempSee AMMO. . . page 12 Dean Hall/Lakeland Times

Goeas said he expected Walker and former Florida Gov.

Anonymous survey reveals staff opinions on district Group dissatisfied by reasoning from administration and Spooner School Board Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER – “We are not a defined group, and our only agenda is to see that the Spooner School District is successful,” said Kevon Cronk. Cronk, a resident of Sarona, shared some results from a survey on school district staff with the Spooner School Board and about 200 community members on Friday, Feb. 27. “The purpose of this survey is not to divide or instruct, but simply as a tool for everyone to get a feel for the way things are internally in our schools,” said Cronk. He said that the actions, words and direction taken by the current school board concern him, in addition to the loss of many district staff. Dissatisfied by reasoning

plained that a report from the survey’s narrative questions is still being assembled due to the amount of responses received. He said they hope to have a full report assembled to share, but maintaining survey takers anonymity and the integrity of the survey is a priority. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction data on the Spooner School District shows that the school district employed 141 FTE employees in the 2013-14 school year. This information, while a year old, gives some perspective on the measureable value of the survey results. Using 140 as the district’s average staff level, 71 percent of district staff responded to the survey. Results complied from the non-narrative questions is assembled below.

cott Murray didn’t want to leave the home in rural Juneau County where he and his family had lived for more than 20 years. But with the house surrounded on Scott Murray, three sides by manure irrigation systems, life 20-year-plus had become a nightmare. property owner “It even got into the driven out of his walls of our home,” Murray said of the liquid home because manure spray that drifted of stench onto his property from the Central Sands Dairy caused by across the road. “It was an nearby manure ammonia smell. It hurt so spraying bad even to breathe.” In 2011, the Murrays sold their house and moved. The buyer? Central Sands Dairy. “And it’s a good thing,” Murray said, “because my property wasn’t worth a nickel.” Life for the Murrays, along with other Wisconsin families, has been disrupted by the relatively rare practice in Wisconsin of using water irrigation systems to spray liquid manure on farm fields.

Conservation dollars cut WLWCA asks ag board for help JAN SHEPEL Associate Editor MADISON Jim VandenBrook is concerned that while Wisconsin farmers are facing ever-increasing demands to protect the environment, the proposed state budget will hurt local efforts to help them do so.

He is executive director of the Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Association and brought his concerns to ag board members at their recent meeting in Madison. “The environmental problems facing Wisconsin are increasing,” he told the board. “Drinking water wells are contaminated, lakes turn to pea soup in summer, manure spills are getting larger, fish kills continue to occur, beaches are unsafe and fights over declining groundwater re-

sources stretch from Waukesha to the Central Sands.” The problems, he added, come from all of Wisconsin, not just agriculture, and the solutions must come from all of Wisconsin, too. VandenBrook said that as it relates to land and water conservation, the proposed state budget reduces or eliminates funding for the programs that have been designed to protect lakes, streams, groundwater
