More spring candidates needed

Loyal Lions again spread holiday cheer
The Loyal Lions Club continued a decades-long tradition this holiday season
by distributing fruit/candy baskets to 90 area residents. The Lions Club used
$450 of the money it raises at various events throughout the year to order prepackaged baskets from Mayvilles Market in Greenwood, and then distributed
them before Christmas to elderly folks who live alone. Pictured on delivery
night are (from left) Lions Tom Bobrofsky, Dave Von Ruden and Donald Olson.
Filing activity for local spring elected

positions was light over the holiday week,
leaving several positions still in need of
candidates as the final filing deadline
nears on Jan. 5. However, several incumbents have not filed non-candidacy statements, either, so they apparently plan to
run for new terms in April.
In the city of Greenwood, Mayor Jim
Schecklman has yet to file any candidacy
paperwork with one week left before the
deadline, although he did not file a noncandidacy statement by the Monday
deadline, either. Greenwood City Council
incumbent Tracy Nelson (at-large position) has filed to run for a new term, but
Mary Domanico (Ward 2) has not. In Loyal,
city Council members Tim Froeba and
Dave Geier (Ward 1) have not filed any
paperwork yet, while Jim Batchelor and
Tom Bobrofsky (Ward 2) have filed for
re-election bids. In the village of Spencer,
at least one new candidate is needed, as
incumbent Diane Maurer has filed noncandidacy paperwork. Incumbent village
Board member Harry Toufar has filed to
seek a new term, while incumbent Wayne
Hagen had not filed any papers as of Monday afternoon.
Area school officials were not available to report new filing activity due to
the holiday break. As of Dec. 21, in the
Greenwood School District, incumbent
Board President Russell Dean has filed
a non-candidacy statement for the seat
he has held for the past three years that
represents the city of Greenwood. No
candidate had yet filed to succeed him.
Also in Greenwood, Dawn Jacobson has

surveillance, Schoolmaster was charged
with felony counts of manufacture/delivery of methamphetamine, maintaining
a drug trafficking place, possession of
methamphetamine precursors, knowingly
possessing methamphetmaine waste, possession of drug paraphernalia to produce
methamphetamine, and bail jumping.
Also arrested after execution of the
warrant was 31-year-old Travis Spinler of
Brillion. He was found hiding in a crawl
space near an upstairs bedroom at Schoolmasters house, and was subsequently
charged for his alleged involvement in
making and distributing methamphetamine. He is charged with the same counts
as Schoolmaster. He has also pleaded not
guilty to the charges and is scheduled for
a Feb. 29 jury trial.
48-176201
A not guilty plea was entered last

week in Clark County Circuit Court for
a 34-year-old Greenwood man who was
allegedly cooking methamphetamine in
his home just south of Greenwood.
Chad M. Schoolmaster stood mute at
a Dec. 21 court hearing, and a not guilty
plea was entered on his behalf by Judge
Jon Counsell. He waived his right to a
preliminary hearing and is due back in
court for a Feb. 4 scheduling conference.
Schoolmaster and three other suspects
were arrested on various charges on Oct.
1 after Clark County and regional drug
enforcement agents executed a search
warrant at his home at W5803 Hinker
Road. As a result of what was found during execution of the warrant, and upon
citizen informant statements and other
Other defendants in the case include

24-year-old Tiffany Carolfi of Marshfield
and 19-year-old Ivana Green of New London.
Carolfi was sentenced on Nov. 25 to 52
days in jail for resisting or obstructing an
officer, while two counts of bail jumping
were dismissed but read-in to the court
record. She was given credit for 52 days
served in custody after her arrest on Oct. 1.
Green, who was found hiding with
Spinler in the crawl space, has been
charged with one felony count of manufacture/delivery of methamphetamine and
one count of misdemeanor bail jumping.
A public defender has been appointed to
represent her but no court dates are currently scheduled in her case.
filed paperwork to be a candidate for the

district area east of Highway 73 (but not
in Greenwood city limits). Bill Herr currently holds that seat, but had not yet filed
to run for a new term.
In the Loyal School District, at-large
Board member Adam Luchterhand will
not seek a new 3-year term. Residents living anywhere in the district can run to replace him. Fellow incumbents Paul Gries
(area of the district south of Highway 98)
and Deb Roedel (area north of Highway
98) have filed papers to run for new terms,
with no challengers yet to step forward.
In the Spencer district, incumbent
Eric Zenner has filed a non-candidacy
statement and will not seek a new term
representing the village of Spencer. Daniel
Gell has filed to be a candidate. Incumbent
Jerry Wienke had not yet filed any paperwork. Candidates for the two seats now
held by Zenner and Wienke must live in
the village, and the top two vote-getters
will be elected.
All 29 members of the Clark County
Board of Supervisors are also up for new
terms in 2016. As of Dec. 28, two of them
-- Kevin Froeba of Loyal and Jeff Kolzow
of Colby -- have filed non-candidacy statements.
Several supervisors have filed to run for
new terms. They include Gary Leichtman,
Dorchester; Tom Wilcox, Curtiss; Fred
Schindler, Curtiss; Joe Waichulis, Thorp;
Dean Zank, Thorp; Scott Jalling, Owen;
Al Bower, Willard; Jerome Krempasky,
Greenwood; Chuck Rueth, Loyal; Gordon
Haselow, Loyal; Frieda Rollins, Granton;
Doris Bakker, Neillsville; Fritz Garbisch,
Granton; Bill Neville, Neillsville; and
Randy Sebesta, Neillsville.
Incumbent supervisors who have
started but not completed the filing process include Arlene Kodl, Thorp; Wayne
Hendrickson, Unity; Byrl Dahl, Chili; and
Rick Opelt, Neillsville.
Bryce Luchterhand, Colby, has started
the filing process to run for the seat being
vacated by Kolzow.
Incumbents who have not filed for
re-election yet nor indicated that they
will not seek new terms are Marcia Hochhalter, Abbotsford; Mark Renderman,
Withee; Dave Holtzhausen, Colby; Art
Petke, Withee; Brian Kunze, Neillsville;
Duane Boon, Neillsville, and Dale Mitte,
Greenwood.
One county Board seat is currently vacant, since the November death of Rodger
Ashbeck of Greenwood. No one has yet
been appointed to fill that seat. Candidates
for it must live in the city of Greenwood
or Ward 2 of the town of Eaton.

Forest group supports MFL changes

A bill to enact changes in Wisconsins
Managed Forest Law is now before both
houses of the legislature, with preliminary
hearings held on Dec. 8 in Madison (AB
561) and Dec. 9 in Antigo (SB 434). This
bill repeals some clauses, amends others,
and creates new stipulations for the MFL.
After reviewing the proposed changes,
the Wisconsin Alliance of Forest Owners
supports the following amendments:
-- Eliminating the ban on leasing land
enrolled in MFL for hunting or other recreational purposes.
-- Elimination of the 5 percent yield tax
MFL enrollees currently pay on timber
harvests.
-- Directing all fees on closed MFL
Walkers e-mail list has some value

Gov. Scott Walker got Trumped in
Iowa this summer as he sought the Republican presidential nomination. But
his efforts may yet play a role in Iowa
politics.
The governor seemed to have done
everything politically correct. Walker
had developed detailed position papers
on several issues. His campaign hired
staffers to identify Republicans who
would support him at the Iowa nominating caucuses. By early summer the work
was paying off; he was high in some public opinion polls.
His Iowa work and efforts from his
three gubernatorial elections had provided an e-mail list of about 675,000
names of likely supporters and donors.
Then Donald Trump seized the national
Republican stage, and all of Walkers
strategy was washed away. Support and
donations to Walkers campaign dried up.
In mid-September Walker dropped out of
the presidential campaign.
Other Republican candidates are interested in such ready-made e-mail lists
because they provide an opportunity to
quickly find new supporters and donations, experts told the Politico online
news organization. Walkers organization offered the list for $10,500, Politico
said.
But the posted price probably doesnt
mean much because revenue sharing
between the dropped-out candidate
and the continuing candidate often
happens, Politico explained. While politicians are well-aware of the arrangement,
the general public is mostly unaware that
owners of political email lists and those
who would rent them often share in the
receipts. Some of the money collected
through appeals also goes to the consultants who manage the lists. But citizens
who respond to e-mail pleas for campaign
cash probably never learn about the split

between politicians or how much is going
to the consultants.
The e-mail list market is kind of the
Wild West, said Stephen Meyers, the
owner of Granite Lists, which manages
Walkers list. Theres a lot of wheeling
and dealing. Theres not established commissions and margins.
The Granite Lists price sheet said
revenue sharing for the Walker list is
available. When you need to raise online
money fast, this list is the way to go, a
promotion for the Walker price list touts.
Meyers refused to discuss specifics of
the Walker account, saying only theres
been a lot of interest.
In mid-December, U.S.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas,
who also is running for
the GOP presidential
nomination, began encouraging donations via
the Walker e-mail list
to help pay off the governors campaign debt.
Cruz would benefit if
he could attract early
Matt
Walker backers and
a Walker-Cruz revPommer if
enue share was part of
the deal. Walker has said Cruz was the
only former opponent sending out such
e-mails.
Kurt Luidhardt, who operates the
Mustard Seed Media list rental business,
said revenue sharing is the most common pricing model in the current political marketplace. His firm has been used
by Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
On the presidential level, I would
say (the revenue share split is) probably
75, 80 percent maybe, Luidhardt told
Politico.
The starting point for revenue sharing
agreements is 50-50 but more popular

candidates like Cruz usually get a better
split because they are likely to lure more
donors than lesser-known candidates.
Experts said revenue sharing is far more
common among Republicans than among
Democrats.
Part of Walkers campaign debts include reimbursing the state of Wisconsin
for things like security when he was
campaigning around the country. The
governor has already paid the state more
than $67,000 on that debt.
Mark Stephenson, who was the top
data officer in Walkers campaign, said
the basic rule in building donor and supporter email lists is the size.
The bigger the list you have, the better off you are in the end, he said. He
said the average donor will give nearly
$70 during the course of a campaign.

unavoidable recessions. In the past, when the economy has dipped, deficits, tax hikes,
and spending cuts have been the unnecessary result.
Given the inability of elected officials to follow statutes meant to prevent such
problems, it appears that responsible budgeting can only be achieved by constitutional
amendment. One approach, adapted from Iowa, would allow Wisconsin to spend only
97 percent of estimated biennial revenues. If the legislature passed the amendment
in 2016 and again in 2017, and voters quickly approved, it could be law before the next
gubernatorial election.
Final words
So, there you have it: Seven little gifts from politicians to the people, none controversial, that could be implemented quickly and in bipartisan fashion. With these in place,
state leaders could work to gain approval of the eighth, a long overdue plan to promote
state fiscal responsibility before 2018.

snow at Christmas time. Our farm was

at the end of a dead end road and getting
all the way to the house and barn was an
impossible task when the snow drifted in.
So we would leave our car parked out at
the end of our garden and walk in.
Most of the cows were dry at the
time, so getting the milk out for the
milk hauler was no problem. Two cans
fit well on our sled which we would pull
through the snow to the high spot where
we parked our car.
That winter in late December, we
could still drive all the way in. It was a
winter I will always remember, as my
brother, Ernest, was killed at the U.S.
Army Arsenal in Pine Bluff, Ark. That
resulted in lots of friends, neighbors
and relatives visiting before, during and
after the funeral. And as I recall it was an
easy job walking from the church to the
cemetery the day of the funeral, which
was on Dec. 28.
With a new year ahead, I wonder what

will face us? In April well be voting at
the spring elections for all our school and
county board members along with city
council and village boards.
In August, many of us will be sitting
and watching the 2016 Olympics from Rio
de Janeiro. That should be interesting
as there shouldnt be much difference
in time zones. The network carrying the
games wont have to carry the program
on film while giving us the impression
it is live.
Of course next year will also be an

election year as we have already been told
time and time again. Right now Im holding my breath that we will get through
it without a major conflict breaking out
somewhere. The political conventions
will probably provide us with hostile
times if the races continue as they are
currently running.
It seems like all the candidates can
do is tell us how they plan to bomb, kill,
and do away with the so called enemy,
which in this day and age is just a little
hard to define. Dont they understand
peace cannot be bought with bullets?
There are some who seem to identify
them by their religion, or the region of
the country. The comments can do nothing more than fuel the fire of hatred for
the United States.
What concerns me more than anything is the lack of candidates acting
presidential. You cant tell me someone
acting like a six-year-old bully, or brat,
can suddenly change into a kind person
ready to lead our nation.

Last week it was the TRGs early copy

deadline. This week Im setting my own
early deadline. If all goes well, by the
time you are reading this we should be
somewhere deep in the heart of Texas.
Well be heading for Port Aransas, our
winter destination for the 19th time.
It is hard to believe that as I write this
on Dec. 23, it is pouring rain. This will
certainly go down in the record book as
very unusual. I was hoping for some mild
weather before we left, but this is beyond
anything I had hoped for.
After spending a beautiful December

Saturday driving to Holmen to spend
the day with our daughter, Sue, and her
husband, Mark, I decided that from now
on she can do all our trip planning during
the winter months. As everyone knows,
in this country, any travel from the first
of November to the first of April is always in doubt, depending on the weather.
First Sue picked the third Sunday in
November for us to get together with her
and our grandson, John, in Madison. It
turned out to be a grand day.
Then came last Saturday. After what
seemed like weeks of gray cloudy skies,
we have a clear morning. After a very
light dusting of snow overnight, it was
a great day to be out. I drove to Colby to
pick up our daughter, Shelly, to ride along.
When I got home, I was trying to explain
to Florence how nice it was, even though
the temperature was in the single digits. I
told her I wanted to write a song and was
going to call it, Oh, What a Morning.
She told me, you cant do that because
someone has already written one. Not
that I would doubt her or anything, but
I did look it up on the Internet. Sure
enough. In 2012, the Alabama School of
Gospel Music sang that very song to end
their program.
Then we have another, O What A
Beautiful Morning, which is credited
to Glenn Miller and his U.S. Army Band
in 1943-44. I just cant win, but was even
more pleased to know the beautiful sunny
morning with the sun shining on a very
light layer of snow would be preserved
for us living north of Neillsville. That is
where we ran out of the snow and back
to brown fields.
Someone asked me this morning if

I could ever remember a winter starting like this. Not in my recollection, I
said, but the weatherman did tell us the
other night that the winter of 1943-44 had
started out with a brown Christmas.
I dont remember too much about it,
but I do recall there really wasnt much

Erma Rittenhouse
Arthur Homan
Erma V. Rittenhouse, 92, Marshfield, formerly of Willard

and Greenwood, passed away at her home on Friday, Dec.
18, 2015. A graveside service will be held at a later date.
Erma Vernie Nimbar was born on Aug. 31, 1923, in
Withee, to Ernest and Vernie (nee VanGorder) Nimbar.
She was raised and received her education in the Withee
area, graduating from Withee High School in 1941. After
completing high school, Erma attended college in Eau
Claire for one year, and received a secretarial degree. She
married Laverne Bud Brown on Oct. 25, 1947, in Owen,
and they resided in Greenwood their entire married life.
Erma worked most of her adult life as an office manager
for various employers, including attorney Karl Pappe,
Greenwood Homes, Stratwood Homes, Marshfield Homes, and Paget Equipment in
Marshfield. Her husband, Bud, died on April 6, 2002. Erma continued to work until
retiring from Paget Equipment in 2006. She married Wesley Rittenhouse on April 7,
2006, and they resided in Willard until his death on Jan. 20, 2015. Erma then moved
to Marshfield, where she resided until her death. She was a member of Immanuel
United Church of Christ in Greenwood, and was a member of the Greenwood American Legion Auxiliary since 1948. Erma had many interests, but especially loved
spending time with her family, taking care of her hummingbirds, baking, cooking,
family vacations to the Wisconsin Dells, and going to her husband Lavernes army
reunions. She was the most loving, caring and grounded person, who will be missed
more than she could ever know.
Erma is survived by her children, Darrel (Ardis) Brown, McFarland, and Tami
(Brian) Johnson, Marshfield; seven grandchildren, Julie (Justin) Weir, Acton, Mass.,

their handlers past and present. This large outdoor
tribute, featuring a life-sized sculpture of a military
working dog and handler, is nearing the final stages
of completion and will be permanently placed at The

The event will run from noon-2:30pm and preregistration is required. For $50, an entire lane (up to
six people) will be reserved for 2-plus hours of bowling

In addition to bowling, the Winter Bowl will be filled
with prize drawings, silent auctions and raffles. Among
the prizes that bowlers can win are: a 55-inch Vizio LED
TV, Ho-Chunk gaming package, Milwaukee Brewers

many more valuable items donated by Wisconsin businesses and sports teams. Additional event and prize
information will be posted at www.thehighground.org

In athletics, will the Summer Games in Rio
de Janeiro unite the globe in the splendor of
human achievement, or will China publicly
execute its women's high-platform diving team
for only winning the gold medal by a thousand

Staying with sports, will Tiger Woods ever

In music, is there an award Taylor Swift

be able to tell me in the next 12 months if Fetty

on a cracker? Will Adele's album "25" sell a
billion copies, or will they stop counting after
700 million? Will the Rolling Stones announce
that Mick Jagger actually died in 1997, but
has continued to play "live" concerts because
he had enough uppers in his bloodstream to

In the Middle East, will Benjamin Netanyahu

he just continue to endlessly whine in United

Saudi Arabia continue to treat Yemen like a live

The Joe 2015

Hello friends,
This is going to be one of those stories that has way more to tell then
I have space for. The Joe is a deer hunt and camp that is run by Kids
And Mentors Outdoors (KAMO) each year and is held at the Mackenzie
Environmental Education Center near Poynette.
I am the president of KAMO but of the many dozens of volunteers
on this project, I am but a grain of sand on a beach.
Friday, Dec. 11 -- high 46, low 33
Here is how this project works. Five of KAMOs chapters are sending either mentors, kids, volunteers for other work or all of the above.
There are 22 pairs of kids and mentors of which 19 are on Learn to
Hunts and three have purchased tags in past years and therefore can
only shoot a doe.
We hunt both the state game/pheasant farm at Poynette and several
private properties (thank you once again to all private property owners/donors).
At first, the kids who come from all over Wisconsin do not know
each other. By noon of day two they are a pack. When they are not
hunting they are playing outside or eating the incredible food cooked
and served by Jeff and Patti Rouse and Marlene Shaw.
Marlene is Pattis ma. I have known Marlene most of my life. This fall
Marlene made a stocking hat for each kid in the hunt. This experience
is all about giving of ones time and knowledge and as everyone is well
aware that takes part in The Joe, we are very good at it.
I am hunting with 15-year-old Duncan Day who is from New Lisbon,
has hunted deer other years but has never harvested a deer, in other
words, Duncan cannot shoot a buck.
We are hunting on a beautiful piece of property owned by Eugene
Vangen that is located in Columbia County near Otsego. Eugene raises
beef and has known many of my family members over the years, so
we have lots to talk about.
This afternoon Duncan and I did not see a deer but had high hopes
for the morning hunt.
Jerry Absher of The Lake Wisconsin Chapter of KAMO (Poynette
area) was mentoring James Amacher and James made a clean shot on
THE
BORN
LESAR
by TRG Editor Dean Lesar
Will we keep marijuana use in check by continuing to insist that Cheech and Chong movies were considered comedy? Will we teach a
young generation about wholesome, conservative values by giving courage awards to Caitlyn
Jenner? Will we spend millions on anti-bullying
programs, yet allow Donald Trump to use the
power of the presidential campaign podium to
treat other human beings like stinky dish rags?
Turning now to national security, in the next
12 months, will we decide to get serious about
the threat posed by ISIS, or will Barack Obama
continue to believe that 50 dudes dressed in
night vision goggles who can breathe through
straws while they swim through Helmand
Province swamps are enough to defeat a determined jihadist movement that is Hades-bent on
making bacon out of us imperialist pigs? Do
you think Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's mother will
go on Live with Kelly and Michael and say, "He
really is a good boy. Why don't you just leave
him alone so he can execute the Sunnis?" And
maybe, just maybe, is it possible that in 2016,
ISIS will upload a message to its Facebook page
and say, "Whoa, hey. Just ran out of suicide
bombers. Anybody out there free this Sunday?"
I wonder, too, if Ted Cruz wins

the White House, should we just
hang a "Closed" sign on the country
and head for Jamaica. Do you think
he'd use my idea and go with "Cruz
Control" bumper stickers for his campaign slogan? I mean, is that cool and
clever, or what? And one more thing,
before it votes, will America stop and
ask itself, "Do we really wanna' president named Ted?" I mean, doesn't
anybody remember what happened
when we elected a Jimmy?
As another year ends, isn't it fun
to guess who'll make the news in the coming
months? I mean, a year ago, who ever heard
of Walter Palmer (the tooth-puller who shot
the famous lion) or Freddy Gray, or that
county clerk in Kentucky who refused to
grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples
on the high moral grounds that led to her own
three divorces? Tell me now, honestly, just a
year ago, did you envision that gas would be
$1.89 a gallon, or that Brian Williams would
be cleaning the NBC men's rooms, or that the
Taliban would be making a stronger comeback
than Mike Huckabee (c'mon, man you're not
gonna win. Just let it go)? Did anybody predict
Trump-mania, or a Kansas City Royals-New
York Mets World Series, or the United States
and Iran agreeing on anything other than
mutual hatred?
So, who knows, folks, what's next? Will an
as-of-yet unknown meteor swoop out of the
blackness of the distant galaxy this year and
obliterate our sphere into a gazillion pieces of
deep space dust, or will the Minnesota Vikings
finally win a Super Bowl?
You know which one I'm hoping for.
a young doe and thus we had our first deer on the pole.
Tonight, the kids go through a couple of classes on safety and biology that were given by Columbia County conservation warden, Ryan
Volenberg, and Columbia County wildlife biologist, Sarah Kehrli.
Saturday, Dec. 12 -- high 44, low 35
Usually the kids are having snowball fights at camp. This year there
is periods of rain, it is just cool enough for a deer to be hanging and
very few hunters are getting cold on the hunt.
Today, Tom St. Claire was mentoring Connor Larson who is a buddy
of Duncans and all three of these guys are from The Meadow Valley
Chapter of KAMO (New Lisbon/Necedah). Like James, Connor made
an excellent shot and we had our second deer which was another doe.
Duncan and I relocated on the Vangen farm to a large winter wheat
field and had two doe come out of the woods no more then eight yards
from our blind on the last minute of legal hunting. A tree in the way
saved one of their lives.
Tonight was a really cool night in camp. Every year on Saturday
night it seems like the kids have too much free time. Greg Wagner of
the Baraboo River chapter hosted an evening of bingo (just for the kids)
with the winners of each game getting an excellent prize, such as a
fishing rod, a knife set and the final game of the night Haaken Rosholt
of Wisconsin Dells won a 243, which was donated by some very generous people from the Poynette area.
The following morning, Duncan and I were in our blind and two doe
came out and Duncan made an excellent shot at 104 yards.
Duncan learned how to do to the new online registration as well
as dress his first deer and that my friends is why we started KAMO.
I challenge anyone reading this to help start a new chapter, join an
existing chapter or get a kid you know into KAMO. Check us out at

KAMO is way more than hunting and fishing! Sunset

Will 2016 be the year the planet explodes

in a cataclysmic detonation of rock, biomass
and Kardashians, or will it be the year that
Donald Trump becomes president? More
importantly, will we be able to tell the difference?
Could it be, perhaps, that the year ahead
will be the one during which global warming becomes so severe that the polar ice caps
will melt like a chocolate chip cookie dough
ice cream cone in a 4-year-old's hands and
Tom Hanks will be able to film the sequel to
"Castaway" in Nebraska?
Will this year finally be the one during
which Queen Elizabeth dies, at last handing
the crown of Great Britain to Prince Charles,
who has been waiting for the throne seemingly longer than a guy who accidentally ate
an Ex-Lax bar in a burrito joint with one
restroom?
And, could I be so bold as to expect that
whomever wins the Democratic nomination
for president will seize on the cultural event
of the millennium and choose Chewbacca
as their running mate? And, could he be any
creepier than Joe Biden?
Will the civil war in Syria finally end in
2016, or will Vladimir Putin prolong it to
keep his public approval rating at 103 percent
(or else)? If Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is
finally removed from power, will he go quietly into the desert night, or will he become
President Trump's Secretary of The Department of Immigrant Removal?
Staying with politics, if Hillary Clinton
becomes the first female president of the
United States, will it be a giant step forward
for women's equality in the professional
world, or just a sales boost for peach-colored
