At exactly 8:47 p.m. on Jan. 13, 2015, a very, very long wait for the Loyal High School girls program fi nally came to an end. When the fi nal buzzer sounded to conclude the Greyhounds’ 70-38 win at Greenwood, it became official -- the Loyal girls were conference basketball champions. It was the fi rst time since the fi rst-ever Loyal girls baskeball game was played in the early winter of 1974 could that be said.
On Monday night, Loyal com-pleted an undefeated 16-0 Eastern Cloverbelt Conference season with a 59-37 home win over Owen-Withee. The team’s overall record is now 18-2, and it is ranked fi fth in the state in Division 5 in the latest Associated Press prep girls bas-ketball poll. On Saturday night at 7:30, at Neillsville, Loyal will take on Fall Creek for the program’s possible fi rst-ever overall confer-ence championship.
Loyal’s girls basketball history has not been without its bright moments -- the team qualified for WIAA sectional competi-tion in 1999 and again in 2004. A conference title has been elusive, however, in part because the league to which Loyal has been assigned has long been dominated by highly successful programs -- Neillsville most recently, Owen-Withee before that, and Mosinee and Greenwood in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Even in those seasons when Loyal has had stronger teams, there have been dominant obstacles in the way.
Loyal fi rst fi elded a girls basketball team in 1974, coached by Ellie Robillard. Players out for the sport in its debut sea-son at Loyal included Michele Teter, Don-na Rowley, Amy Anderson, Sue Kehrberg, Mary Elpert, Ruth Fravert, Sue Bielen,
Ann Esselman, Lorraine Wolf, Shari Hills, Shari Slahor, Barb Arbelovsky, Cindy Tews, Nila Nelson, Dawn Chambers, Tami Schoonover, Candy Schiller, Cindy Noeld-ner, Debra Friedemann, Jody Hartl, Jeni Hug, Ann Abrahamson, Jodi Schoonover, Dina Jembrzyski, Donna Shupe, Jane Dahlby, Sue Gregory, Pat Wilke, Kathy Studinski and Debbie Chambers.
Claude Hieptas took over as head coach of the program for several years in the late 1970s, prior to Mark Rueth becom-
ing head coach. The Greyhounds played to an 8-12 overall record in 1977-78 and placed third in the Cloverbelt Conference in 1982-83. However, the record fell off to 4-14 in 1983-84. The team improved to 7-7 in the conference in 1986-87, good for fourth in the Cloverbelt. The following season produced the Greyhounds’ first league winning record, at 8-6.
The program’s success bottomed out between 1989 and 1998, with no more than four conference wins in any of those sea-
sons. The Greyhounds posted 1-13 records in two of those years.
In 1998-99, the Cloverbelt re-cord was again dismal at 3-11, but Loyal went on a winning streak in the WIAA playoffs and came within a game of reaching the state tournament. The team beat Gilmanton 60-46 in a sectional semi-fi nal at Augusta, but fell 75-54 to second-ranked Potosi in the sectional fi nal played at La Crosse Logan. That team -- coached by Dave Oldenberg -- included play-ers such as Becky Brey, Nicole Pamelia, Mindy Krasselt, Kathy Rinka, Pam Krause and Carrie Meyer.
Loyal produced a 7-7 league record in the following season and went 6-8 in 2000-01. The record fell to 2-12 the following season and 3-11 in 2002-03.
In 2003-04, the Greyhound team coached by Oldenberg repeated the sectional surprise. After fi n-ishing 6-8 in conference, the Grey-hounds won four straight games to again reach the sectional. That year’s team fell 58-39 to Eau Claire Regis, with players including Jen-nifer Trimble, Kristen Landini, Katie Luttropp, Carey Petri and Blair Weyer.
Loyal struggled through medio-cre seasons in 2004-05 and 2005-06, but then put together a 10-4 league
mark in 2006-07 to fi nish second behind Neillsville (13-1). That was a short-lived success, as Loyal tumbled to 0-14 in the league the following season.
A string of more average seasons passed, until Loyal surged to 10-8 in 2012-13 to fi nish fourth in the conference. In 2013-14, Loyal improved yet again to 15-3 to tie Owen-Withee for second-place behind undefeated Neillsville.

Budget proposals leave school offi cials wondering
Matt Pommer
Members of the TRG editorial Board include Publishers Kris
O’Leary and Kevin Flink,Editor Dean Lesar, and
Carol O’Leary.
Offi cials for both public and private schools are puzzled by Gov. Scott Walker’s budget for elementary and secondary education. They agree that more state taxpayer support is needed for each of them to succeed.
Walker’s budget calls for expanding the voucher program that provides state help for the poor to send their children to participating voucher schools. The pro-gram has been limited largely to Racine and Milwaukee, but the governor’s budget removes participation ceilings.
The governor’s budget calls for a $150 per-pupil reduction in state aid for each child in public schools in the fi rst year of the new biennium. It also would scale back the size of the vouchers and lower income limits for participation.
But the budget is cloudy for everyone because public school budgets would be tapped to provide the voucher money. Public school offi cials suggest the total loss, including the state cutback, could come to $127 million in the fi rst year of the biennium.
In addition, the shift in money would come even if the child entering a voucher school had not previously been enrolled in a public school in the district.
Jim Bender, who, as president of School Choice in Wisconsin, has led the fi ght for more voucher schools, said those schools “need proper funding or they won’t open more seats.” Lurking in the back of the financing question is whether more voucher schools would provide a better education.
That fi ght bubbled up as public school administrators assailed the governor’s ap-proach. John Forester, director of govern-ment relations for School Administrators Alliance, also noted the Walker adminis-
tration expects a 4.7 percent increase in general tax revenue in the fi rst year of the biennium.
“Despite overwhelming evidence that private school vouchers do not improve student achievement and lack adequate accountability to the public, Gov. Walker continues to pursue private school vouch-er expansion,” said Forester.
“The ultimate objective of voucher advocates is a statewide system of pri-vate-school vouchers for all Wisconsin children,” he added. The governor wasn’t buying criticism of his budget ideas.
“To me, the losers are the people who want to grow the state government beyond the state’s ability to pay,” Walker said. But, to hear both the private and pub-lic school leaders, the fi nancial picture for the upcoming school year is at best unclear.
The local school bud-get issues have gone largely unnoticed in the media because of the controversy over Walk-er’s budget plans for the
University of Wisconsin System. His budget calls for a $300 million, two-year reduction in state support for the system. Walker also proposed eliminating the “Wisconsin Idea” of public service that dates back more than a century.
The governor retreated, fi rst suggest-ing the Wisconsin Idea change was a “drafting error,” then said it was caused by confusion among his staff. The gover-nor suggested the budget issue could be partially solved if the university faculty would teach an additional course.

University offi cials predicted that other top-notch schools would raid the faculty ranks, offering other jobs to UW faculty who are leaders in their disciplines. Walker’s move attracted national atten-tion because he is preparing to run for national offi ce.
Two weeks before he released his bud-get plan, the governor urged local school offi cials to encourage high school students to think about going to technical and vo-cational schools.
A two-year technical school education “is just as noble and needed as those of their classmates who go on to a four-year college or university,” Walker said in a speech in Milwaukee.

The Postal Service should be about just that -- ‘service’Page 2 - Tribune Record Gleaner - Wednesday, February 18, 2015 OPINION
The United States government doesn’t want you to read these words. Or at the very least wants you to wait to read them until they are no longer relevant.
That is the message being sent as the government continues cutting back services through the U.S. Post Offi ce. Under federal mandate the post offi ce must operate as a business and must be self supporting while at the same time following government ac-counting standards and regulations that make no sense in the private sector.
It is as if the powers that be in the federal government want the postal service to just disappear and along with it the vitality important role of providing a nationwide communica-tions link, even to those places without internet or cellphone service.
The Washington D.C. decision mak-ers in the post offi ce are relying on plant closures and theoretical econo-mies of scale to cut costs. While large urban areas may not see a dramatic change in their services, rural areas are being hit hard with service cuts and offi ce closures. People are having to pay more for less service.
Mail that used to take a day or two to be delivered now may take a week or more and in the process log hundreds of miles in the back of a truck as it is transported from one processing station to another. The postal service management has addressed these complaints about slow delivery by changing the standard of delivery for everything from the fi rst class letter you send with your water bill payment to magazines, newspa-pers and packages. It is kind of like grade infl ation where, “C”
level work is changed to be an “A” to make it look better on the report cards.
Under the new standards that went into effect on Jan. 1, postal customers in Medford should still get their paper the next day, but subscribers in Gilman could have up to three days to get their paper in the mail even though the pa-pers are mailed at the same time. This is because the papers go from Medford where the post offi ce trucks them to Wausau and then to Gilman. If that extra mileage seems silly, it gets worse. Up until last week, a newspaper going to Stanley -- about 40 miles from where the printing plant is in Abbotsford -- went on a multi-state journey before reaching its destination. The papers went from Abbotsford to Wausau and from there to Green Bay then to Des Moines, Iowa then to Minneapolis be-fore being sent to Stanley.
Considering each stop has up to two days to process and move along the mail, the well-traveled papers could arrive to subscribers six days later and not be considered late under the postal service standards.
Fortunately, a postal employee in Wausau utilizing some common sense is working to fi x this problem and stop the cross country travel for papers in this region. However, that is only a localized fi x to system-wide problem.
For snowbirds, getting their papers in places like Arizona or southern Texas, the post offi ce says you should be happy with getting your newspaper a week after they are mailed. Any com-plaint issued before that time will be ignored by the post offi ce.
The new postal standards are unac-ceptable. But getting anyone in a decision making level of the postal bureaucracy
to listen is a challenge. Collectively newspapers and other periodicals are big postal customers. They account for a massive part of the postal service’s mailing volume, not to mention the amount paid in postage.
However, the bean counters and decision makers are more concerned with being able to reduce the hours of route carriers than with providing service to their customers and the American people. Rural postmasters and mail carriers are being pinched in the middle between unhappy custom-ers and a bureaucracy committed to a course of centralization and mechani-zation over service. For many, the risk of being the next position cut or offi ce closed is too great to buck the bureau-cracy and side with service.
The only way this will change is if
people complain to members of con-gress to change the focus of the post offi ce back to being a service for tax-payers. People also need to make their voices heard to higher levels of postal management about their unhappiness with low standards of service.
Americans do not look for a return on investment from national highways or the armed forces. The post offi ce needs to be returned to that level of service and reliability. Even in an elec-tronic age, the printed word is vitally important both for the dissemination of ideas and for economic health of our communities. Bureaucrats and bean counters are far removed from the im-pact their decisions have on people and business and need to be reminded that there is a world beyond their spread-sheets and corporate doublespeak.

At long last we are fi nally getting some nice Texas weather. Today is a bit cooler, but we had five great days of weather, warm enough to go around without a jacket. On top of that, the last three days had little or no wind, which made it much better.
It was a great time to just sit in Roberts Park and watch all the activity on the ship channel and Inter-Coastal waterway. Ships, barges and fi shing boats make for wonderful watching. Add to that the peli-cans, sea gulls and dolphins and it don’t get much better than that.
I mentioned last week the Wisconsin Coffee coming up, which is an annual event. It was a standing-room-only affair this year. As it turned out, there was a gathering at one table, which we called the Clark County group. That included Don and Darlene Zukowski and Tom and Geri Nelson of Owen, Wayne and Jean Thomp-son of Dorchester, and Florence and I.
I met a lady from Clayton who didn’t know exactly where Loyal was, but she did tell me she knows Scott Needham. Up there, they call him the Honorable Judge Scott Needham, another example of how someone from a small town can make good in the world.
There might have been enough room for everyone to sit around a table if there wasn’t a need for so many tables to handle all the food that is brought to share.
One problem I have down here is fi nd-ing a salad bar that has any herring on it. Generally, Florence had been taking a plate of deviled eggs, which always seems to disappear.
This year I decided that there has to be a lot more people who miss their herring, so I convinced Florence that we should take a bowl of them. It was a good thing that I sampled a few before we left our apart-ment, as the only thing left in the bowl was a few strips of onions.
One of the benefi ts of living here at the Sandcastle Condo, instead of the one we lived at last year, is the housekeeping services provided. We no longer have to change the sheets and sweep the fl oor. The housekeepers take care of that.
The only problem we have is getting used to their schedule. They were good about telling us the fi fth fl oor is done on Friday, but which side of the condo do they start at? The fi rst week they were here a bit after nine, so we decided it was a good morning to slip out early and eat breakfast.
That didn’t work too well as the last few weeks we seem to be on the tail end of the cleaning process. So eating breakfast and coming back to a clean apartment hasn’t worked.
Today, we ate our breakfast at Moby Dick’s, a different eating place from any other Friday mornings.
After that, we hopped on the ferry and went for a ride out in the country. There was plenty to see. At nearby Ingleside we drove by the DuPont plant where workers are on strike, claiming a lock out. It has been an on-going strike as I recall seeing strikers on the picket line the day we ar-rived back on Jan. 1.
Just across the road is a huge factory, under construction. It is part of an invest-ment by some Chinese investors. They are building the plant which will be building pipeline pipe. It has been under construc-tion for a couple of years and still has a long way to go.
The next stop was the community of Taft, which calls itself the Cotton Pickin’ Capitol of Texas. I had hoped we’d see some farmers in the fi elds, but that wasn’t the case. The only thing being planted was some pipe for a new pipeline that will move oil from some of the new oil wells springing up in the area.
The area also has numerous windmills which started appearing on the scene a few years ago.
Then it was back to Aransas Pass to get our weekly shopping done at one of the dollar stores that can be found in the community. There is one of each, so what one doesn’t have, the other two probably do. Anyway, it is a good way to kill time.
The next stop was the Aransas Pass harbor, which is always a yearly place to visit. At one time Aransas Pass was known as the shrimp capitol of Texas. That is, until the shrimpers pulled out for South America.
The fi rst years the harbor was sort of a disaster. There were deserted buildings along the waterfront, half sunk shrimp boats and a sight that was a bit depressing.
Each year we came it seems like things were getting cleaned up. This year was probably the most change we have seen yet. All the old buildings are gone, the old fi shing boats are gone and in their place a yacht club and signs of even better things to come.
One new structure is for boat storage. It must be 100 yards long and close to 100 feet high. As you drive by you can see the boats stacked in tiers, probably put there by a huge lifting device.

NEILLSVILLE -- The Clark County Emergency Services Association (ESA), in conjunction with LoJack, has imple-mented a program designed to locate in-dividuals, who have cognitive conditions and have been reported missing. This program has been active in Clark County since 2009.
The ESA is comprised of local law enforcement, EMS and fi re departments within Clark County.
When an individual registers with Safe-tyNet by LoJack they receive a bracelet that has a unique digital identifi cation. The bracelet is then registered to that specifi c individual. When a client is re-ported missing, Clark County Emergency Services Association (ESA) personnel
respond to the last known location of the missing person. The ESA personnel then use RF radio receivers to tune into the frequency of the client’s bracelet and conduct a canvass search of the area.
The ESA has a 100 percent success rate in locating individuals who participate in this program. The program has proven to locate persons within the community who suffer from cognitive disorders.
If more information is needed go to www.safetynetbylojack.com or 877-4-FIND-THEM (434-6384).
The Clark County ESA’s coordinator for this program is Detective Jason Bour-get. Detective Bourget can be contacted at (800) 743-2420 or e-mail at [email protected].

MADISON -- Wisconsin businesses ex-ported $23.43 billion in goods worldwide in 2014 -- an all-time high for the state and a 1.4 percent increase over 2013. In the last four years, Wisconsin’s total exports have jumped by 18.3 percent.
Wisconsin’s agricultural exports rose by 13.6 percent in 2014 to a record $3.7 bil-lion. The state’s increase was nearly three times greater than the growth rate for total U.S. agriculture exports in 2014 and marks the fifth straight year the Wisconsin’s numbers have risen.
“This is great news for Wisconsin farmers, as well as businesses of all sizes and all industries,” said Governor Scott Walker. “We are taking the necessary steps to improve our business climate, and help Wisconsin companies improve their position in the global market. Promoting Wisconsin business and products in help-ing job creators realize that exporting can open the doors to new markets and new customers. The latest record-breaking numbers are a true indication that our efforts are paying off.”
Wisconsin’s export growth in 2014 was spurred by an increase in shipments to Canada and Mexico, Wisconsin’s top two
Agriculture, water technology, biotechnology all experience growth in exportsexport destinations. Exports to Mexico jumped by 12.7 percent to $2.84 billion, primarily because of an increase in the export of vehicle parts, plastics, and dairy products. Exports to Canada -- the state’s number one export destination -- were up 5.5 percent to $7.94 billion, due primar-ily to an increase in organic chemicals, ethanol, fur skins, and beverage exports.
In addition to agriculture, Wisconsin saw increases in other key sectors, includ-ing water-technology-related products (up 7.4 percent to $5.03 billion); biotechnology (up 6.8 percent to $3.11 billion); and health care (1 percent increase to $1.89 billion).
“Wisconsin companies realize export-ing is no longer a luxury. It’s imperative for any Wisconsin company seeking a competitive advantage in the 21st cen-tury,” said Reed Hall, secretary of CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. “These strong export num-bers show that Wisconsin companies are well positioned to serve the global marketplace.”
Industrial machinery continues to be the Wisconsin’s top export product cat-egory at $6.37 billion, accounting for 27 percent of all state exports. The second-
largest product category is medical and scientifi c instruments, which accounts for 9 percent of all state exports at $2.17 billion.
Other exporting highlights from 2014 include:
-- Wisconsin ranked 19th in the U.S. in total exports -- behind Massachusetts and ahead of Minnesota. The state ranked 13th in agricultural exports.
-- Wisconsin leads the nation in exports of more than 40 different products, includ-ing cranberries, whey, ginseng roots, out-board engines, refrigeration equipment, fi refi ghting vehicles, fi re extinguishers, and bicycles.
-- Wisconsin businesses exported to 206 different countries.
-- Exports to European Union countries increased by 8.1 percent, due in part to increases in exports of automatic data process machines and tractors, trucks and other vehicles.
-- The state saw an 8.6 percent increase in the exports of plastics, which surpassed the $1 billion mark in 2014. Canada is the destination of 42 percent of the state’s plastic exports.
-- Aircraft and spacecraft exports rose by 32 percent to $404.9 million. The United Kingdom was the leading destination of products in that category.
-- The state continues to experience a rise in exports of fur skins. The $269 mil-lion in fur skin exports is up 53 percent from 2013 and 123 percent from 2012.
NEILLSVILLE -- The Clark County UW-Extension is offering a spring 2015 “Level I Master Gardener Program”. This program will provide the basic skills for home gardening. The training consists of archived presentations from UW-Ex-tension specialist and county Extension agents provided online. In addition, there
will be hands on training.Training location and dates for the
program will be determined after people interested in the class are surveyed for a best time and location. The goal is to select a central location in Clark County. Training will continue for 12 weeks and all of the trainings are available online.
The hands on training will be determined as the class progresses. Generally, the class will meet eight times “face to face” for hands on training.
Contact the Clark Coun-ty UW-Extension office at 715-743-5121 if interested in participating in this pro-gram. The deadline to reg-ister is March 2.
Participant cost will be $100 for the class materials and includes the cost of a state volunteer background check. After training Mas-ter Garden volunteers are expected to return 24 hours of service to their com-munity in exchange for the 36 hours of training they receive.

Victory on the Mississippi!Hello friends,This week my 14-year-old daughter, Selina, and I headed down to
Prairie du Chien to visit our very good friends, Gary and Joan Howe, and fi sh out of a boat on the ice.
Saturday, Feb. 7 -- high 39, low 13As is sometimes the case, this week’s column is all over the map so
here goes. Gary Howe, Selina and I are headed to Guttenberg, Iowa. When we arrive we will launch Gary’s 16-foot fl at bottom boat across a patch of ice and then hit the open water at Lock and Dam number 10 and fi sh for walleye and sauger by vertical jigging.
Gary Howe has been a good buddy of mine since the mid ‘90s, owns a few papers in the area, and every year we try to do a warm weather and cold weather outing together.
Twice in the past I have fi shed this method with Gary Howe. This winter Gary and his comrades Bob Titlbach, Jerry Finney, Jeff Wolf, John Howe and Dave Coorough have been having excellent success at catching walleye and sauger in this somewhat crazy method of fi shing.
Here is what you do, if your motor starts (Mr Howe’s froze up this morning and had to be thawed). You ease your way over to the dam which is where the only open water is and grop your vertical jig amongst the always changing ice fl ow that is fl owing through the dam.
Just launching your boat can be very interesting as fi rst you drop it on the ice, then you push it to open water, then you push it in the river, making sure to jump in the boat on time. Trailering your boat can be very physical and somewhat dangerous.
So Selina and I are listening to the nonstop stories of our good buddy, the air temp to start our outing is a crisp 13 and the local school of walleye and sauger are not hungry.
For the most part we are jigging 1/2-ounce jigs tipped with a minnow or Sonars. There are a total of fi ve boats below the dam and quite often you may be bumping your neighbor, as the current and ice fl ow are the real bosses out here.
As always we snack on pickled eggs (Selina declines) and hope the fi sh will get hungry.
Of all the activities in the outdoors that I take part in this may be the one that is the combo platter of the most dangerous while requiring the most skill. None of us lit the river on fi re with a hot bite but everyone
caught more fi sh then Selina and I. In one burst of energy Gary did catch a 20- and 18-inch walleye but
that lasted about as long as you can see a falling star.We topped off our day ice fi shing and did not catch a fi sh, but as
usual laughed a lot.Sunday, Feb. 8 -- high 33, low 17Now here is the real joke! I have fi shed in Prairie du Chien’s annual
fi sheree (65th) off and on for about 16 years. I have never caught a fi sh in it. Our plan today was to tip-up fi sh in this fi sheree that is run by the Chamber of Commerce, the PDC Jaycees and the American Legion baseball team and is run out of Lakeview Resort, which is a very cool bar and restaurant on the north end of town.
This fi sheree is a big deal in the area and attracts a lot of people and, by God, I needed to get on the board with a fi sh. So we have our tip-ups out and Selina, who has not gotten a bite all weekend, gets a fl ag. My little girl does an excellent job of landing a gator that would later weigh just shy of 10 pounds. Moments later Selina tells us where she wants to put her third tip-up. It was not 10 minutes and the fl ag goes up and Selina ices a gator that tipped the scale at 6.5 pounds.
Ten minutes later I have a fl ag and I catch a gator that was only about 15 inches but I got the monkey off my back.
We head over to Lakeview and after weighing Selina’s two gators fi nd out that she is now in fi rst and second place in the kids division with her two northern pike. We ate lunch, visited with a whole bunch of people and when the weigh-ins closed at 2 p.m., my little girl who was in her fi rst fi sheree had taken fi rst and second in the gator division for the kids end of this fi sheree!
Soon after that we were headed home to Necedah and Selina told me that she wants to make this an annual trip.
We laughed a lot on this trip and were very tired when we got home! Sunset

Here’s hoping the second half is more productive(I first wrote this six years ago now,
and said to myself then, “You know, if you haven’t been indicted for federal tax fraud, you ought to run it again in 2015.” Since I’m a man of my word, well, here it is. I know, you’re welcome.)
People often tell me, “Dean, just about anybody could do your job.”
“Yes,” I usually answer, “that may be absolutely correct, but not everyone could waste this much time at it for so few results.”
And they know I’m right, and, oohh, they just hate that, so we usually part ways at that point, they to doing whatever important thing it is that they do, and me going back to, well, this. I know, some days I wonder where it all went wrong.
I have another birthday coming this week, my 46th, -- well, thank you, that’s so nice -- and it’s kind of an important one because it’s halfway between my age when I graduated from college and when I will turn 70, which is the age I have targeted for full retirement. That means my working life is half over, which seems to me a good point to evaluate, take stock, and measure my progress so far. Oh, don’t worry, I don’t think there’ll be any crying; I took my pills this morning.
One measure of career progress, of course, is advancement in one’s position within the structure of an organization. On that scale, I’ve done all right for myself, starting just out of college as a lowly grunt, working my way up to useless whiner, and fi nally becoming a valued employee who was no longer greeted each morning by an “I thought I told you to never come back here” from the boss. Before long, I was a
senior executive, and then, against all odds, I became chairman of the board and chief executive offi cer. All I had to do was buy the place, and the best part of it is, if I live to be 138, I might even have it paid off someday.
Speaking of buying, wealth is another mea-sure of one’s career status. I will not reveal it, but I have a fi nancial goal for myself, and at this midway point between starting and retir-ing, I suppose I should be halfway there right about now. Well, OK, give me just a second here, if I add the total value of my investments to my cash assets to my real estate to the contents of my change pail, then subtract my debts, personal IOUs to my Mob connections and my other liabilities, I should ... whoa, wait, that can’t be right. Let me do that math one more ti ... OK, there, that’s more like it. If my goal at 70 is to possess $124.67, yup, I’m right on track. I just hope the value of that analog television set stock holds up long enough.
So, OK, maybe wealth is not the best measure of progress. Let’s look ahead at my personal satisfaction level, i.e., do I feel as if I am halfway to making all the difference in the world that I set out to achieve.
Looking back at myself when I was 22 and fresh out of college, my ambitions were as wide as the sky. I fi gured I’d change the world during my working career, and not in some small way, oh, no, I was thinking big, like curing some major disease, or negotiat-ing global peace, or inventing a new form of transportation powered by lime Jello (because, after all, who’d want to eat it?). In that regard, I’d have to say I’m not quite halfway there yet, but that’s one of those things where you spend many years putting the pieces in place so you can accomplish great things in your later years.
Put another way, I have no idea whatsoever how I’ll ever make a difference in this world. I don’t have a clue. When I think that I’m almost the same age as Barack Obama, and he’s president of the United States and I’m here, it almost makes me sick to my stomach. Of course, that could be just the lime Jello. I had to do something with it when it wouldn’t burn in my lawnmower engine.
I suppose I should give myself some credit for the steps I have taken to further my professional career. See, when I started in the newspaper business, I knew less about it than I did about nuclear fi ssion, and now, 24 years later, I still don’t know anything about nuclear fi ssion. Some of you say I still don’t know squat about the newspaper business, either, but I’ve got a whole garage full of back issues that I can’t sell that say otherwise. And when the value of old, wet, moldy newsprint skyrockets and I’m rolling in so much money I don’t know where to put it all, you won’t be laughing at me anymore, or at least not to my face. There’s a big difference there.
You know, this is harder to measure than I thought it might be, because running a small
town community newspaper doesn’t have any benchmarks from which to base an evaluation. I suppose I could approach this purely mathemati-cally, and determine that I have now sold 1.5 million newspaper copies (give or take a million), therefore, it’s been a successful career so far, or that I’ve now written 40 million profound words (I may defi ne “pro-found” more loosely than you) and because of that, I can rest assured that I’m well on my way to building my legend as a respected journalist.
Or maybe, it’s enough just to say that I’ve survived for almost a quarter-century already in a business that’s been known to chew lesser people up and spit them in the trash, and my staying power alone is enough to convince me that at age 46, halfway between 22 and 70, I am where I ought to be.
I do have to wonder sometimes how things might have been different if I would have pursued some other career, you know, maybe joined the military after high school, or went to medical school (just think, I could be operating on you tomorrow), or joined the clergy and embarked on mission work in the remote back hill country of southern Uganda. I mean, just what if, where would I be now, at age 46, in those careers? Happy? Content? Satisfi ed? Famous? Rich? Or in the case of southern Uganda, full of tape worms from eating raw monkey brains?
Back to my opening line, it’s true, sure, most anybody could do my job, but not for this long for so little pay. Anyone else would have moved along by now, but not me. What? I can’t go yet, I’m barely half done.

Clark County Economic Development Corporation & Tourism Bureau wants/needs to hear from you. What is our need countywide as we look into the future of broadband and connectivity for the good of communication right here in Clark County -- to keep us competitive and progressive meeting the needs of future technology and communica-tion for agriculture, schools, residents, medical services, cities and townships, emergency, businesses, tourism, homes?
Everyone and every walk of life need to give us input so our county can create a plan that futuristically satisfi es all our long term connectivity needs, wants and demands.
A meeting on broadband connectivity
will be held on Feb. 19 at 4p.m. at the cafe-torium of Greenwood High School. Hear from the many folks who understand the frustration and the need -- Ross Wilson, CESA 10; and Jill Hietpas, UW-Extension, regional broadband educator; Chris Straight, West Central Regional Planning – Region 3 Broadband Committee Facili-tator; and many more. Also, a panel of representatives from all over the county will give input on issues and needs.
From the meeting on Feb. 19, a Clark County Connectivity Consortium will be formed and a 6-9 month investiga-tive process will be done. The net result will be a documented plan sharing what Clark County residents and all entities require in connections to provide for a
solid future strengthening our ability to compete and succeed.
If you have ever had things like this happen, you may want to participate, give your input and become involved in the future of connectivity:
-- Doctor at your clinic needs to refer you to another clinic because X-ray was not conclusive or transmittable.
-- Slow or no internet connection.-- Dropped calls (or just no bars at all
in spotty locations in county).-- You must use or pay others to trans-
mit your data to a state or federal agency because you have bad or no connection.
-- You need to send large document and end up mailing it because your internet is too slow.
-- Child cannot do homework online.
-- Truck dispatched to wrong place/bad or no com-
munication available.-- Tractor tire repair or product deliv-
ery never came -- bad/no communica-tion.
-- Tried to call in an emergency/no bars on cell phone.
-- Farmers in the fi eld need to com-municate with robots milking/no con-nectivity available.
Township cannot send data to state and federal agencies/connection/trans-mission failure/transmission capacity not large enough.
This is the public and private coming together to address an issue and fi nd the end opportunity for connectivity for our county for the future.
State Senator Terry Moulton and Representatives Bob Kulp and Kathy Bernier will also be in attendance to hear information and partake in the event.
Call 715-255-9151 for more information and if you are interested in sitting on the panel representing a specifi c area for discussion or serving on the Consortium Committee.

NGL advances eight wrestlers to Amery sectional
DEAN LESAR/STAFF PHOTONeillsville/Greenwood/Loyal’s Andrew Buchanan tries to end his 182-pound WIAA Division 2 regional fi nal match against Brad Ritger of Osseo-Fairchild/Augusta/Fall Creek but can’t quite get the pin. Ritger came back to turn the tables and win a wild 14-12 overtime match. Both wrestlers advanced to the Feb. 21 WIAA Division 2 sectional at Amery.
The red and black colors of the Neillsville-Greenwood-Loyal co-op wrestling team will be highly visible at the Feb. 21 WIAA Division 2 sectional tournament at Amery. Eight NGL wrestlers survived the Feb. 14 regional tour-ney at Melrose-Mindoro and are now just a few more matches from reaching the Feb. 27-28 state meet in Madison.
Six NGL wrestlers took fi rst place at the regional meet -- sophomore Skylar Barth at 106 pounds, junior Kanyon Rachu at 126, sophomore Stetson Rueth at 132, junior Derrick Nielsen at 138, senior Jake Rueth at 170 and sophomore Nick Rueth at 220. Freshman Dylan Nielsen (120) and junior Andrew Buchanan (182) grabbed second-place fi nishes to also advance.
The regional meet was dominated by NGL and Mel-rose-Mindoro/Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau. Wrestlers from the two teams claimed 17 of the 28 available sectional spots. MM/GET won the regional title with 231.5 points and NGL was second with 218.5. Medford was a distant third at 129 and was followed by Black River Falls (115) OF/A/FC (111) and Abbotsford/Colby (63).
At 106 pounds, Barth (36-6) cruised to a regional title with a 45-second pin in the semis and a pin over MM/GET’s Jack Marley (21-17) in 5:03 in the fi nals. At Amery, he’ll face junior Tanner Booth (30-8) of Baldwin-Woodville.
Rachu (19-19) won the 126-pound regional title by defeating OF/A/FC’s Kyle Gjerseth on a 3-1 decison and then scoring a 5-1 decision over MM/GET sophomore Mike Horton (11-10) in the fi nals. Rachu’s fi rst sectional match will be against Ellsworth sophomore Thaddeus Kosnopful (8-11).
At 132 pounds, Stetson Rueth (33-8) had to win only one match to win a regional title. With only three wrestlers at his weight, Rueth scored a 5-0 decision over MM/GET sophomore Nathan Dornquast (26-13). Rueth will take on St. Croix Central sophomore Luke Smith (27-12) in the fi rst round at Amery.
Junior Derrick Nielsen (19-12) walked through his weight class at Melrose-Mindoro to also win a regional title. He got a pin in 3:52 in his semi-fi nal match, and then pinned Medford sophomore Preston Carlson (20-9) in 2:38 in the fi nals. Nielsen’s fi rst-round sectional match will be against Hayward junior Lane Deyo (25-10).
NGL senior Jake Rueth (38-3) dominated the competi-tion at 170 pounds. He won by pin in 1:31 in the semis, and scored a technical fall over Black River Falls sopho-more Sam Rogstad (28-11) in the fi nals. A state qualifi er last year, Rueth will continue another attempt at a state run with a fi rst-round sectional match against Baldwin-Woodville sophomore Triston Thompson (18-17).
Nick Rueth won the 220-pound regional title in one match. There were only three wrestlers at the weight at regoinals, and Rueth (37-4) took the title with a 6-3 decision over MM/GET junior Sam Higley (27-14). At Amery, Rueth will fi rst tangle with Prescott junior River Christensen (15-16).
Freshman Dylan Nielsen (24-11) also qualifi ed for sec-tionals. There were only two wrestlers at his weight at

Four Rockets are sectional-boundThe Spencer wrestling team continued a strong 2014-15
season by advancing four wrestlers through the Feb. 14 WIAA Division 3 regional tournament at Auburndale. Senior Tim Bauer and freshman Hunter Luepke won regional titles to advance to the Feb. 21 sectional meet at Shawano. Freshman Bryce Shaw and senior Zach Schnei-der also advanced with runner-up fi nishes at Auburndale.
Stratford -- the top ranked D3 team in the state -- domi-nated the regional standings with 237 points. Edgar was second with 189 and Spencer took third at 172.5. Other teams at the regional were Athens (155.5), Auburndale (126.5), Pittsville (86) and Marathon (68).
Bauer (27-13) won the regional title in impressive fashion. He first pinned Athens freshman Kevin Al-brecht (23-15), then advanced to the fi nals with a pin in 3:07 over Edgar senior Kodi Chase (26-11). In the fi nals, Bauer scored a 7-5 overtime decision over Stratford junior Sam Wenzel (26-9). At the D3 Shawano sectional, Bauer will fi rst wrestle against Shiocton freshman Sammy VanStraten (35-5).
Lupeke improved his impressive freshman season record to 38-4 by winning the 195-pound weight class. He fi rst pinned Athens sophomore Jordan Zinkowich (9-11) in 1:11, and in the fi nals notched a 4-2 overtime decision over Auburndale junior Kurt Jankowski (34-8). At Shawano, Luepke will face Manawa senior Jake
Kaezorowski (26-14). Shaw (23-17) took the more diffi cult path to the sec-
tional. He fi rst scored a technical fall over Marathon junior Hunter Reed (20-13), but then was pinned in 1:34 by Stratford freshman Jeremy Schoenherr (36-1). Shaw got back to third place with a 7-3 win over Pittsville freshman Tyler Dammann (30-7), and was rewarded with a wrestle-back and a chance for second place. He took advantage, defeating Edgar freshman Colton Heil (27-11) on a 6-3 decision. At Shawano, Shaw will face Coleman junior Derick Teteak (29-10).
Schneider (33-12) also needed a wrestle-back to advance past the regional. He pinned Stratford senior Kyle Martin (15-7) in 3:06 in the semis, but was pinned in 3:03 in the fi nals by Edgar senior Devin Lemanski (35-0). Schneider got a wrestle-back for second place against Athens junior Tannor Frahm (25-14) and took a 2-1 decion to move on to the sectional. There he will wrestle against Crandon senior Deven Groff (28-12).
Several Rockets ended their seasons on the Auburn-dale mats. At 106 pounds, freshman Dominick Wichlacz (26-17) was beaten in the semis but came back to get third place. At 120, freshman Caden Schillinger (19-19) lost a 14-11 decision in the fi rst round.

The fi rst of a number of deadlines for ice anglers to remove ice fi shing shelters from inland and boundary waters is this week. All ice fi shing shelters must be removed from Wisconsin-Iowa bound-ary waters by Friday, Feb. 20. This ear-lier date, affecting the Mississippi River south of the Minnesota-Iowa border, is set to correspond with Iowa regulations.
The deadlines for the other two bound-ary waters are March 1 for Wisconsin-Minnesota boundary waters and March 15 for Wisconsin-Michigan boundary waters.
For inland Wisconsin waters, ice fi sh-ing shelters must be removed daily and when not occupied after the following dates:
-- Sunday, March 8 for waters south of Highway 64 (First Sunday following March 1).
-- Sunday, March 15 for waters north of Highway 64, along with Lake Michigan, Superior and the Bay of Green Bay (First Sunday following March 12).
One exception to this rule is that on the Fox River downstream from the De Pere dam in Brown County, ice fi shing shelters must always be removed from the ice daily and when not in use.
After these dates for removing ice fi shing shelters from a frozen lake or river, an angler may continue to use a portable shelter but must remove it daily and when it is not occupied or actively being used.
Ever wonder what plants or animals call your land home?
People who want to learn more about their land can enter a free lottery to win a free customized report to discover if unique plants, animals, soils and geology are potentially on their property based on what’s been found on nearby public lands.
The lottery runs from now until March 15 and 100 landowners who voluntarily enter their name will be randomly selected to receive the customized report, known as Landowner Conservation Reports. Last year’s lottery was an overwhelming success, with more than three times as many landowners applying as were spots available, says Erin Crain, who leads the Department of Natural Resources’ staff that will provide the service.
“We had such a tremendous response from landowners last year that we’re go-ing to do it again,” says Crain, director of the DNR Natural Heritage Conservation Bureau. “People love their land and are really interested in learning what plants and animals call it home.”
More than 85 percent of land in Wis-consin is privately owned, so having good habitat on private land is critical to conserving rare plants and animals, Crain says.
“We want to reach out to landowners and share what we know from past plant and animal surveys,” she says. “What landowners do with the information is up to them; our hope is that they will consider ways to maintain and improve habitat for Wisconsin’s rare species.”
To create the reports, DNR ecologist Alex Wenthe will review various DNR and federal databases containing information about the rare plants and animals found through fi eld surveys of public lands or nongovernmental organization lands. Landowners can also choose to have a site visit from a DNR ecologist.
Landowners will get a report that provides information about rare species found in the area, invasive species to be on the lookout for and general information about the soils, geology and hydrogeology in the area.
Information collected during the review process will not affect what land-owners can subsequently do with their property.
The report will also contain general recommendations on improving habitat and controlling invasive species, a little information on where landowners can get technical and fi nancial help for habi-tat work and a list of private contractors who can help landowners develop detailed
conservation plans and assessments.“The goal is to provide Wisconsin
landowners with the best information available,” he says. “Whether you hope to restore land or want just to learn what’s outside your window, these customized re-ports can point you in the right direction.”
People can learn more about Land-owner Conservation Reports and enter the lottery by visiting the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov and searching the keyword, “LCR.”

Roll call -- establish quorum: Reckner, Krasselt, Wienke, Zenner, and Post present. Quorum established.
Recognition of visitors: Gary Ruder and Judy Barton.Agenda changes: A Youth Options request will become agenda
item #10 and other agenda items will move down.Approve minutes of previous meetings: Motion by Krasselt, sec-
onded by Zenner, to approve the minutes of the Jan. 14, 2015, regu-lar meeting. All ayes, motion carried.
Discussion insurance consortium: John Preuss from M3 Insur-ance presented a Power Point on the insurance consortium. He dis-cussed the fi ve steps to becoming a co-op and the pros and cons to becoming a co-op. Discussion. Board consensus to continue with this process.
Discussion/approval of summer projects: Project options for 2014-15 school year update.
-- Generator: New batteries have been purchased and installed. The old batteries were only working at 60 percent of capacity.
-- UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): Battery back-up system that would provide power to our servers and provide needed lighting to meet codes to safely exit the building. Server back-up would be quite complex with built-in measures to safely shut down servers to avoid data loss. Bids were presented. Scott Johnson expressed a preference for the bid from Klevseth Corp. Prices do not include installation to be done by local electricians. Lighting back-up is being deferred at this time. Motion by Krasselt, seconded by Zenner, to award the bid to Klevseth for the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Sup-ply). All ayes, motion carried.
-- LED lighting: Rough costs for the transition from current fi x-tures to LED. Room 135 has the Xcel LED replacement bulbs in-stalled in all but fi ve fi xtures. To retrofi t other areas will have costs proportional to these rooms. Room 136 has fi xtures that cost approx-imately $140 per fi xture. Room 135 has replacement bulbs that cost approximately $90 per fi xture. Associated labor costs have not been included since there may be some fl exibility depending on the size of our order. Each classroom has, on average, 15 fi xtures -- this trans-lates to about $135 to $2,100 per classroom. Areas where complete fi xtures would have to be replaced would cost about $200 per fi xture.
-- Asbestos removal: Main area considered at this point would be the elementary front hallway and the middle school front hallway and classrooms. We will also have a map to show areas that are left for asbestos removal in the overall building. Asbestos removal compa-nies are currently in the bidding process. They all have assured us that we will be able to secure a place in the schedule, which will allow for a June 15, 2015, completion date.
-- Bathrooms: Rough estimates for fi xture removal and replace-ment and plumbing updates were shared. Tile and other redecorat-ing costs are being explored.
-- Exterior door replacement: Two companies will be stopping in the next week to give estimates on the possible replacement of sev-eral exterior door assemblies.
-- Digitalize the remaining air handlers: Complete control is work-ing on an estimate for the upgrade from pneumatic controls to digital controls for the last four remaining air handlers in the building.

Chose primary election Board of Canvassers: Board consensus that Mike Endreas, Nancy Kibbel, and Jerry Wienke will be the pri-mary election Board of Canvassers.
Administrative reports:Mrs. Schulz:-- Reading curriculum: We have it narrowed down to two basal
series (Reading Street and Wonders) and discussed the pros and cons of each. Curriculum Companion is another option that we have investigated. The group has found many pros and a few cons to each series. We are going to be contacting Thorp as we know that they are using Reading Street and will be contacting McGraw-Hill to see who in our area is using Wonders. Pricing of each will be the next step in the process. The group has stated that regardless of which option we choose we will be getting a quality product that is Common Core aligned, provides for differentiation in both reading and writing, is user friendly for both student and teacher, and utilizes technology to enhance the learning.
-- PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports): Joann Roehl organized a meeting for Thursday afternoon with Cheryl Post from Marathon County special ed. This was a great time to discuss where we are in the "PBIS" process. Fortunately, we already have some very solid components in place with the common expectations and language throughout the building. We know that an area that we need to improve on is acknowledging the students for the posi-tive behavior. During our work time it was decided that we needed a "booster" assembly to review bathroom and recess procedures. We will have an activity and videos for the students. This will happen on Feb. 26, at 8:30. At this assembly we will also announce our fi rst in-centive/acknowledgement for positive behavior; we are working out the details for this.
-- Highlights from January: 4th grade -- the fourth graders have been learning about biographies during the month of January. As a culminating project Mrs. Szymanski had the students become a per-son that they had done a biography on. The students each were able to dress up and put on a short skit or give a short speech as their person. I was able to "meet" George Washington and see the battle of Valley Forge, Maria Tallchief and see some of her ballet moves, Stan Lee as he developed Marvel comics, and many more.
-- Be a SMART cookie -- READ!: If you visit the elementary you may notice some scary creatures in the halls. The students are de-veloping and writing about their very own cookie monsters. Their creatures and stories are very creative!
Mr. Zanotteli:-- Registration 2015: We registered students this year during our
half day right after exams. It actually went very well and we got a major percentage of students able to register. We have about 20-24 kids that are not in attendance so we are registering them during this week. We have about 1/3 of the next year freshman registered and as Mrs. Eisfeldt completes her 8th grade conferencing we will regis-ter the rest of those students.
-- CTE video (Career and Technical Education): Back at the end of November we changed our PLC groupings and I talked with our CTE teachers about creating a joint video for marketing purposes. They utilized their PLC time to create this video and I really like the way it turned out. When the video was done we put it out on the HS Facebook page, Mrs. Eisfeldt put it out on her Twitter page, I e-mailed a link to all 8-11 students, and we put it in the link section of the HS Web page. They had completed the video around Jan. 15, so we did get it out to all students before the registration period.
-- Granton/Loyal: Within the week I will be contacting Granton and Loyal to see if they have completed registration to fi nd out what their numbers are for classes that we offered to both of them. I will also need to see if Granton has an idea of what hours they will be running their business classes so that we can begin our scheduling process here.
-- Spanish: Mrs. Pickett is looking into a new Spanish program.Mr. Endreas:-- Budget status: Discussion.-- WASB Convention: Mr. Endreas and Mr. Post reported that the
convention was very informative and discussed various sessions they attended. Mr. Zenner reported that all resolutions passed at the convention.
-- Tech consortium information: Endreas shared information gath-
ered from discussions with area schools to combine technology ser-vices.
-- Rocket Newsletter: There will be a charge from Premier Print-ing for extra pages in the Newsletter, due to more articles being sub-mitted.
-- Slate meeting: Discussion. A technology interest survey will be sent out.
-- Check run: Endreas asked for any questions regarding the check run. There were none.

Loyal clinches fi rst league title with win at GreenwoodThe Loyal girls baskeball team offi-
cally ended what little drama remained in the 2014-15 Eastern Cloverbelt Confer-ence race by cruising to a 70-38 win over rival Greenwood on Feb. 13. The victory clinched the Loyal girls’ program’s fi rst-ever conference title since the sport began in Loyal 40 years ago,and the Greyhounds added an exclamation point on the season with a 59-37 win over second-place Owen
Withee on Feb. 16 to fi nish undefeated over the 16-game league schedule.
At Greenwood on Feb. 13, there was still a slight mathematical chance for Loyal to let the league title get away. The Greyhounds weren’t about to let that happen, as they quickly sprang to an 8-0 lead. With Jaedyn Pieper and Missy Benz converting back-to-back 3-point plays and Karsyn Rueth draining a 3-pointer, the
Greyhounds led 24-7 late in the fi rst quarter.
Greenwood played ag-gressively on offense, and Taylor Opelt’s two scores brought the Indians back to within 24-11 early in the second period. Benz scored again on the low block and drew a foul for another 3-point play, and Devyn Schoonover scored on a fast break after the Loyal defense knocked away a pass. Opelt’s free throw kept Greenwood within 16, until Schoonover scored on an offensive rebound reload and then on a fast break off a loose ball for a 36-16 Loyal lead. It was still a 20-point Loyal lead at the half.
Loyal erased any doubt of the game’s outcome with a 13-2 run to begin the sec-ond half. Rueth scored three times in the paint during the run and Kaitlin Hoeser fi nished it with a pair of free throws. Nata-lie Hackel stopped the run with a hoop on an in-bounds play at the 3:39 mark of the third quarter, but Loyal answered with a 10-0 run to push the score to 61-22.
Benz led Loyal with 20 points, 12 of them coming on 3-point plays as she scored inside and drew fouls. Rueth scored 14 points and Schoonover had 11. Opelt led Greenwood with 14 points.
Loyal fi nished its ECC season in un-beaten style by finishing the sweep of Owen-Withee on Monday night. Again Loyal scored early and often, building leads of 19-7 after one quarter and 39-17 at halftime.
Loyal held Owen-With-ee to 29 percent (13-45) shooting in the game. Loyal hit its shots at a 39 percent (23-59) rate and hit six of 14 shots from 3-point range.
Jaelynn Young led Loyal with 14 points and Morgan Reinwand had 10. Benz pulled down eight re-bounds. Stephany Hegge-meier scored 17 points for Owen-Withee.
Spencer 49 Greenwood 44
The Rockets notched their fi fth win of the ECC season with a tight win over Greenwood on Mon-
day night.Greenwood led 10-6 after a quarter but
Spencer regained control and led 20-15 at halftime. The Rockets added a point to their lead in the third quarter.
Spencer won despite getting 12 fewer fi eld-goal attempts. The Rockets shot 38 percent (17-45) and hit 13 of 27 free-throw attempts. Greenwood shot 28 percent (16-57) from the fi eld and was 8-19 on free throws.
Lexi Baehr led Spencer with 13 points. Nadia King scored 11 points and Liz En-dreas added 10. Abby Varsho had seven rebounds for the Rockets.
Neillsville 46 Spencer 29Spencer trailed 30-16 at halftime and

Geiger’s late score lifts Loyal to sweep over Greenwood
After 31 minutes and 50 seconds of ties, lead changes and comebacks, the fate of the Feb. 12 Loyal-Greenwood boys basketball game was in Riley Geiger’s hands. The sophomore point guard handled the pressure in fine fashion, sinking a short runner with six sec-onds left in the game to carry the Greyhounds to a 52-20 win and the season sweep over the Indians.
Greenwood got a fi nal chance on an open-look 3-point attempt from Lo-gan Johnson at the buzz-er, but it found only rim and no net. The fi nal miss ended a wild game at Greenwood, one reminiscent of Loyal’s 45-41 win over the Indians on Dec. 23 in Loyal.
The rematch was tight all the way, with a 9-9 score after a quarter and a 23-21 Greenwood lead at halftime.The third quarter decided little, as Loyal’s 37-34 lead on Cameron Brussow’s jumper at the buzzer was as big of a lead as either team would get.
Loyal took a 39-34 lead early in the fourth period on two Derrick Howard free throws, but Johnson answered for Greenwood with two of his own from the line and Booker Bredlau’s 3-point play tied the score with 5:44 to go. Greenwood then took a 41-39 on Johnson’s hoop on an in-bounds play, but it was short-lived as Geiger hit two free throws.
Geiger was at the line for two more with 4:14 to go and he connected twice. Bredlau followed with a 3-pointer from the wing for
a 44-43 Indian leadTyler Prust scored in-
side for Loyal on a lob-in pass with 3:46 to go. Loyal held that 1-point lead for a full minute, until Howard pushed it to 47-44 with two free throws at the 2:35 mark. Ryley Fischer added another free throw at 2:17. After Johnson mis-fi red on a 3-point attempt for Greenwood, Howard released on the defensive rebound and was all alone for an easy fast-break and a 50-44 lead with 1:33 to go.
Game over?Not yet.At the 1:22 mark, Dane
Toburen hit two free throws for the Indians. Geiger missed a pair of free throws on Loyal’s next trip, and Bredlau drew Greenwood to within two on a drive and jump-stop in the lane at the 56-second mark.
Loyal held the ball until there were 36 seconds left, and called time-out. On the in-bounds play from side court, Bredlau stepped in front of the pass at halfcourt and took it to the hole for a lay-up to tie the game with 33 seconds left.
Loyal held the ball for a last shot, and Geiger stepped forward with about 10 seconds left. He drove from the right side and sank the runner that proved to be the game-winner.
Geiger’s game winner gave him a team-high 14 points. Brussow scored 13 and Howard added nine points.
Bredlau led Greenwood with 16 points and Johnson scored 14. Toburen added nine.

NEILLSVILLE -- The Memorial Medi-cal Center Foundation would like to recognize two special donors that are making our community a better place. Omar and Sheryl Young from Granton, along with their children, Ceasar (13), Kennedy (6), and Liberty (4), recently made a visit to Memorial Medical Center to check out the new pediatric waiting room at the clinic. The project was made possible by a donation from the family in honor of the services they have received at MMC. All three children are patients under the care of Dr. Kenneth Weimer, Pediatrician.
“Dr. Weimer is like family,” begins Sheryl “not only does he treat our kids with great medical care, he really knows them. Liberty sees him, her face lights up, and she runs up to give him a big hug. You don’t get that kind of treatment in a bigger city.”
Omar continued, “We saw a need at the clinic for a proper waiting room for young patients. We thought it was a per-fect idea to donate money to create the best waiting experience for our children and the community.”
The donation from the Young family enabled the Memorial Medical Center Foundation to create a new and excit-ing waiting room for the youngest of patients. The project began with a mural painting by local artist Jodi Sorenson. Then, new furniture was purchased from a local Amish woodworker. Finally, in
each of the pediatric exam rooms, IPADS were securely mounted to the walls, allowing the kids to play educational games while waiting for their doctor to see them.
“Omar and Sheryl were amazed at how far we could stretch their donor money to create a wonderful experience for our young patients” commented Shelley Janke, executive director of the Foundation. “We have all heard that the cost of health care is high. What people might not realize is that the cost to offer health care to our community is just as high. Donations such as the Young dona-tion allow MMC to improve what we offer, and allow donors to receive a tax-benefi t” continued Janke.
“What an amazing improvement to MMC. It’s evident that we need this hos-pital in our community, and it was our honor to help it improve. I would like to challenge everyone in our community to help support MMC by becoming a donor” Omar commented.
So the next time you visit Memorial Medical Center, stop over to the lower clinic and visit the pediatric waiting room. Take a peek at the artwork and look for the names of Omar and Sheryl’s children, embedded on the waiting room walls as a reminder of their generous gift to the community.
For more information on the Memo-rial Medical Center Foundation, contact 715-743-8456.
