‘There’s a moose! A
moose! A moose!’
Other sightings in
Marion, Gresham

See barn quilts
on two wheels
Most folks enjoy traveling around Shawano County
to see the barn quilts by car,
but an event this weekend
provides a chance to see the
quilts in a different way. Shawano Pathways will hold its
annual Bike the Barn Quilts
event Saturday, beginning at
Memorial Park, 909 S. Lincoln
St., Shawano. This is an ideal
family event that promotes
good physical fitness. There
are a variety of routes to take,
depending on how fit you are
and how many quilts you want
to see. This year, if you’d like
to take a guided tour of the
quilts, Pathways is providing
that, too. A continental breakfast and lunch will be part of
the day, and maps will be provided. Most of the tours begin
at 9 a.m., except for the 70mile tour, which launches at
8 a.m. For information, go to

A moose is loose in Shawano County, and he is getting around quite a bit in
search of a mate.
Jana Schroder Carstedt,
who lives along Shawano
Lake, spotted the antlered
male moose standing along
the water’s edge about 11:30
a.m. Friday outside her cottage near Bischoff Bay Lane.
“It was an awesome
sight,” she said. “I said,
‘There’s a moose! A moose!
A moose!’”
Carstedt was not the only
eyewitness, either.
The state Department of
Natural Resources received
reports of a moose sighting

one day earlier in the Marion area, and the day before
that around Gresham.
Jeff Pritzl, a wildlife biologist for the state agency, said
he suspects all sightings involved the same moose, and
that the animal is searching
for a mate during the breeding season.
“It’s not that difficult for
a moose to cover that much
ground,” Pritzl said.
Although sightings are
uncommon in this part of
the state, they are not unprecedented. A moose spotted in Marinette County a
couple of years ago ended
up being struck and killed by
a train. Sightings have been
reported in Shawano County
before, too.
The state recorded 22
sightings last year, nearly
all of them in far northern
Wisconsin.

For the most part, however, moose stay in Minnesota
and the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan. Only occasionally
do they wander into Wisconsin, and even less frequently
are seen this far south.
Carstedt said she has
never seen one before, so
she followed her visitor Friday for about an hour as he
made his way east along the
southern shore of Shawano
Lake.
“He just kind of moseyed
along,” she said. “He was
pretty, very pretty.”
Pritzl said the moose
found in Shawano County on
Friday might stick around
for a while. People should
feel free to observe from a
distance, but he cautioned
against trying to get close.
“Give him his space,”
Pritzl said, “and he’ll find his
way out of the area.”

Pies meet pork
at Applefest
Fall is in the air, which
means the scent of apples
will be strong in the village of
Tigerton. The annual Applefest is back Saturday, going
on from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
at Tigerton Community Park.
The annual apple pie contest
will take place in the morning,
and fresh apple pies will be
for sale. There is also a new
challenge this year’ involving firefighters from Tigerton,
Pella, Bowler, Birnamwood
and Wittenberg to see who
can make the best barbecue
pork sandwich. The event is
sponsored by Tigerton Main
Street Inc.

Dating back to the 1930s and 1940s, the two 48-foot-long fishing vessels cost $3,000 each and another $3,500 to transport both from Marinette.

Food fresh from
farm this weekend
Avoid the crowded grocery stores Saturday morning and hook up with farmers directly. There should
be fresh fruits, vegetables,
meats, cheeses and other
items available for purchase
when the Shawano Farmers
Market opens at 8 a.m. Saturday at Franklin Park, 201
S. Washington St. Vendors
will be lined up on the street
until noon, offering items that
come fresh from the farm, including some items you might
not be able to find in a grocery
store. A selection of nonfood
items will be available, as
well. With fall arriving, there
are only a few weekends left
to enjoy food directly from the
farmers. For information, call
715-851-9834.

Even if you thought
there was still something
missing from Doc’s Harley-Davidson of Shawano
County, you probably never would have imagined
this.
Owner Steve “Doc”
Hopkins has reached far
back into his childhood
to capture the inspiration
for his roadside menagerie’s newest addition:
boats.
Alongside his motorcycle showroom, amusement park, wildlife exhibition and other attractions,
Hopkins now is displaying two historic fishing
boats salvaged from Lake
Michigan.

sels, assemble staircases
outside and — what else?
— invite motorcyclists
and other patrons to
climb aboard.
The imaginative business owner said the old
boats harken back to his
days growing up near Algoma during the 1960s,
when commercial fishing was booming on Lake
Michigan and he could
watch such vessels chug
around town.
“They’re part of my
history,” he said. “I’ve
just always appreciated
looking at them.”
Since Hopkins moved
his business in 1998 to
state Highway 29 east
of Shawano, he has surrounded the Harley-Davidson dealership with an
eclectic assortment, including a classic car museum, a Ferris wheel and
other rides, a collection
of exotic animals, an oldstyle saloon and more.
The property is perhaps
most recognizable for the

evolution is expected to

The Menominee Indian Tribe
recently named a newly created
cul de sac in honor of Shawano
County highway worker Derek
Stempa, who was killed in a road
construction accident in May.
The cul de sac, designated as
Stempa Lane, is located just west
of the state Highway 47 and County Road G intersection, near the
spot where Stempa died.
Stempa, 30, of Shawano, was
working as a flag person at that
location on May 26 when he was

struck by a southbound 2003
Dodge Caravan driven by Dennis
St. John, 69, of Tigerton.
St. John died of advanced
chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease in August before he could
be charged.
The accident occurred in a
portion of Red Springs that straddles the Menominee Reservation
area known as Middle Village.
The cul de sac was part of the
road project on which Stempa
was working.
“Our family is greatly appreciative of the thoughtful gesture
made by the Menominee Indian

Tribe. We feel blessed to have
Derek’s memory honored in this
way,” Stempa’s family said in a
statement.
Shawano County Highway
Commissioner Grant Bystol said
the signage on Stempa Lane went
up within the last several weeks.
“It was a nice gesture on the
part of the Menominee Tribe,”
he said. “We sure appreciate
that here, as does the family, I’m
sure.”
Bystol said Stempa’s death
is still being felt by the highway
department.
“There’s not a day that goes by
that we don’t think of Derek,” he
said.

Menominee Tribal Chairman
Gary Besaw issued a statement
in the aftermath of the crash.
“The Menominee Nation expresses our sympathy to the family of the individual who lost his
life and to the Shawano County
Highway Department,” he said in
the statement. “We are mindful of
all who are willing to work in challenging and high risk occupations
to make the roadways we travel
safer. This tragedy is a reminder
to all of us how precious life is and
how important it is to use extra
caution in all work zones.”
A fund was also set up in
Stempa’s name at Capital Credit
Union.

Teen arrested for Deer crash risk expected to rise
Mating season increases deer activity
rash of Marion
burglaries, thefts
FYI

By Leader Staff

By Leader Staff

A Marion teen was arrested Thursday in connection with numerous
burglary and theft complaints over the past few
months, the Marion Police Department said, and
several others allegedly
involved are also facing
possible charges.
Marion
police
on
Wednesday investigated a
report of two parties running through backyards
and down the 400 block
of Sherman Street with
a third party that picked
them up in his vehicle.
A 20-year-old Shawano
man was arrested for an
active warrant and an
18-year-old Tigerton man
was arrested for a probation violation.
During the investigation that night, information was received regarding the rash of burglaries
and thefts, police said.
On Thursday, Marion
police assisted by Wau-

paca County sheriff’s
deputies and Clintonville
police executed a search
warrant in the 600 block
of N.E. Second Street in
Marion.
Evidence linking the
18-year-old and his associates to the burglaries
and thefts was found in
the residence, according
to police. Drug paraphernalia, including methamphetamine and a methamphetamine
cooking
kit, were also taken as
evidence.
An 18-year-old man
from Marion has since
been arrested on burglary
and theft charges.
Charges were being
referred to the Waupaca
County district attorney’s
office against all parties involved for burglary, theft,
possession of methamphetamine and possession
of drug paraphernalia, the
Police Department said.
Charges had not yet
been filed as of Friday
afternoon.

It’s that time of year
again, when mating is
on the minds of Wisconsin deer, and Wisconsin
drivers need to be cautious about the increased
activity.
The Department of
Transportation this week
issued its annual reminder
that October and November are the mating season
for deer, and they soon will
increase their activity, particularly at dusk and dawn
while moving back and
forth between their bedding and feeding areas.
As they roam, deer may
dart unexpectedly onto
roads and into the path of
vehicles.
Shawano County had
the second highest number of deer vs. motor vehicle crashes last year
with 725, just behind Dane
County with 863. Waukesha County was third with
700.
In Shawano and Green
Lake counties, more than

half of all reported crashes
in 2014 involved deer. Deer
are the third most commonly struck objects in
Wisconsin traffic crashes
(behind other vehicles and
fixed objects).
Last year, Wisconsin
law enforcement agencies
reported a total of 18,312
deer vs. motor vehicle
crashes, according to the
DOT.
“To avoid hitting deer
with your vehicle, you
should slow down whenever you see them nearby.
If you see one deer, there
are probably more in the
area,” said David Pabst,
director of the WisDOT
Bureau of Transportation
Safety.
“If you can’t avoid a
deer in the road, it’s safer
to hit the brakes and hit
the deer than to swerve
suddenly and try to miss
it,” he said. “If you swerve,
you risk losing control of
your vehicle. You may end
up hitting another car or
a stationary object like a
tree.”

The Caroline Lions’
27th annual Colorama Fall
Trail Ride is set to begin
Thursday and continue
throughout the weekend.
The ride is billed as Wisconsin’s largest trail ride
and is expected to attract
about 1,300 horses and
riders.
Activities begin on
Thursday with free music by The Rodeo Deville,
featuring Al Jahnke, from
7:30-11:30 p.m. Grand
Union will provide the music beginning at 8:30 p.m.
Friday.
On Saturday, breakfast
will be served from 7-10
a.m. The trail ride starts
at 10 a.m. Lunch will be
available on the trail.
Horseshoe and bean bag
toss tournaments will be-

gin at noon Saturday. A
dance featuring the Nashville Pipeline band begins
at 8:30 p.m.
On Sunday, the Lions will serve a pancake
breakfast from 7-10:30 a.m.
The trail ride will start at
9:30 a.m., with lunch again
available on the trail. A parade will travel down Caroline’s Main Street starting at 1 p.m. An auction
will be held following the
parade with the proceeds
going to the Lions Camp.
The event also features
horse-drawn wagon rides,
vendors, craft fair, lunch
stands and fur traders
rendezvous.

Motorcyclists must be
especially careful because
deer crashes can be fatal.
Motorcycles were involved
in eight of the 10 fatal deer
vs. motor vehicle crashes
in Wisconsin last year.
“The one exception to
the ‘don’t swerve’ recommendation applies to mo-

torcyclists,” Pabst said.
“Motorcyclists should slow
down, brake firmly and
then swerve if necessary
to avoid hitting the deer. If
they must swerve, motorcyclists should try to stay
within their driving lane to
avoid hitting other vehicles
or objects.”

Government Calendar
MONDAY, SEPT. 28

Caroline Colorama trail
ride begins Thursday

WisDOT and the Wisconsin State Patrol offer the following
advice to prevent deer crashes:
• Be on the lookout for deer, eliminate distractions while
driving, and slow down, especially in early morning and
evening hours, which are the most active times for deer.
• Always buckle up. There are fewer and less severe injuries
in vehicle vs. deer crashes when drivers and passengers
wear seat belts.
• If you see a deer by the side of the road, slow down and
blow your horn with one long blast to frighten it away.
• When you see one deer, look for another one. Deer seldom
run alone.
• If you see a deer looming in your headlights, don’t expect
it to move away. Headlights can confuse a deer causing it
to freeze.
• Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path.
• Don’t swerve suddenly because you may lose control of
your vehicle.
• If you hit a deer, get your vehicle off the road if possible,
and then call a law enforcement agency. Walking on a highway is dangerous, so stay in your vehicle if you can.
• Don’t try to move the animal if it is still alive. The injured
deer could hurt you.

AROUND THE NATION

A brief rundown of a few noteworthy events in the news, as reported by The Associated Press

Boehner announces plans to resign
Michael Barone

Analyzing
Walker’s
withdrawal

Tea party applauds
speaker’s decision
Plunging Congress into
deeper turmoil, House Speaker
John Boehner abruptly announced his resignation Friday, shutting down a tea party
drive to depose the nation’s
highest-ranking
Republican
but opening up fresh troubles
for the GOP.
The 13-term Ohio lawmaker,
second in line to the presidency, shocked his rank-and-file
when he told them of his plans
in an emotional closed-door
meeting. He said he would step
down from the speaker’s job
he’s held for nearly five years,
and from Congress, at the end
of October.
Boehner’s
announcement
came one day after a high point
of his congressional career, a
historic speech by Pope Francis to Congress at the speaker’s
request.
It also came before what
would have been a new low: a
potential floor vote to oust him
as speaker, pushed by Republican tea partyers convinced he
was capitulating in a struggle
over Planned Parenthood funding that threatened a government shutdown next Thursday.
Such a formal challenge
against a speaker has not been
used in the House for over 100
years.

Scott Walker’s abrupt
withdrawal from the Republican presidential race
Monday afternoon shows
how different, in ways
noticed and unnoticed, this
campaign cycle is from
those of recent years.
Walker’s withdrawal
was unexpected because,
after the rise of billionairefunded super PACs kept
Newt Gingrich and Rick
Santorum plugging on in
the 2012 cycle, it seemed a
candidate with such backing had no reason to quit.
Super PACs can’t pay for
candidates’ staffs, offices
and travel, and after the
debates Walker couldn’t
raise enough to pay for
them.
In previous cycles, it
was assumed that voters
were looking for candidates who could identify
with ordinary people and
the struggles they face,
and Walker seemed
typecast for that, saving up
coupons to shop at Kohl’s.
Today’s poll leader is a
Manhattan billionaire who
boasts of (and perhaps
inflates) his wealth and
glories in his vulgarity.
It has long been taken
as a given that a successful
candidate must concentrate on winning one of the
early contests. Walker’s
obvious target was Iowa,
next door to Wisconsin,
demographically similar,
where the candidate was
born and spent his early
years. His speech at the
January Freedom Summit
in Des Moines wowed the
audience and rushed him
to the top of polls in Iowa
— and New Hampshire
and nationally as well.
Walker stressed his
strong religious beliefs in
a state whose caucus has
had the largest concentration of evangelical Protestants of any contest outside
the South.
He continued to stress
his steadfastness in the
face of furious opposition
and threats of violence
from public employee
unions in Wisconsin, but
he failed to do enough
homework and settle on
consistent responses to
questions on national and
foreign policy.
The result was stories
about his unwillingness
to answer questions on a
trip to London and directly
contradictory statements
on whether the Fourteenth
Amendment confers birthright citizenship.
He lost his lead in
national polls by April and
in New Hampshire polls by
late May. In Iowa, he was
overtaken by Trump in the
first week in August.
Trump’s rise (and,
more recently, the surges
for Ben Carson and Carly
Fiorina) has been ascribed
to Republican voters’
desire for a candidate not
besmirched by government and Washington. I
think what may be happening is that the Republican
electorate is expanding
to include many outside
the familiar categories of
economic, religious and
libertarian conservatives.
Walker, with his fight
against public employee
unions and frequent invocations of faith, with his
small town upbringing and
suburban political base,
had the potential of appealing to the familiar groups.
Not, it seems, to those
seeking a champion from
outside the political world.
While withdrawing,
Walker urged others to
coalesce around someone
who could beat the (unnamed) poll leader. That
hasn’t happened in other
cycles. But this time seems
different.

WASHINGTON

Obama threatens
China with sanctions
Skeptical of Chinese assurances on cyberspying, President Barack Obama on Friday
laid out a fresh threat of sanctions for economic espionage
emanating from China, even
as he and President Xi Jinping
pledged their countries would
not conduct or support such
hacking.
“The question now is: Are
words followed by action?”
Obama said, standing alongside Xi at a White House news
conference.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio announces his resignation as speaker and from Congress, effective at the end of October,
during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday.

Obama’s wariness underscored deep U.S. concerns
about what officials say is China’s massive cyber campaign
to steal trade secrets and intellectual property from American
companies. While China has
publicly denied being behind
such activities, U.S. officials say
their counterparts in Beijing
have begun to take the matter
more seriously.
“Confrontation and friction
are not the right choice for
both sides,” Xi said, speaking
through an interpreter.

SAN FRANCISCO

Indian prime minister
to visit Silicon Valley
For a change, Silicon Valley
is buzzing about something besides a sleek new device, mindbending breakthrough or precocious billionaire.
A rare visit by Indian Prime
Minister Narendra Modi this
weekend has captivated his
extensive fan club in the area

and commanded the attention
of major U.S. technology companies eager to extend their
reach into a promising overseas market.
It will also give Modi, a Hindu nationalist elected to office
last year, an opportunity use
the world’s high-tech capital as
a pulpit to promote his plan to
transform India into a hub of
innovation.
He envisions a “Digital India,” where ubiquitous highspeed Internet access will empower entrepreneurs to build
software and other technology products that will raise the
standard of living in a country
where many households are
still impoverished.

NEW YORK

Francis mingles with
high and low in NY
Sweeping through the landmarks of America’s biggest and
brashest city, Pope Francis
on Friday offered comfort to

families of the 9/11 victims at
ground zero, warnings to world
leaders at the United Nations,
and encouragement to children
— many of them immigrants
— at a Catholic school in East
Harlem.
In the early evening, he led a
jubilant parade through Central
Park, smiling as he rode slowly
in his open-sided Jeep past a
cheering, shrieking crowd estimated at 80,000, many of them
holding cellphones aloft in a sea
of arms.
He then arrived at Madison
Square Garden for an evening
Mass, with about 18,000 people
attending the last event on the
schedule for Day 4 of the pope’s
six-day visit to the U.S.
In his speech at the U.N., the
pope decried the destruction
of the environment through a
“selfish and boundless thirst
for power and material prosperity.” He demanded immediate access for the world’s poor
to adequate food, water and
housing, saying they have the
right to lodging, labor and land.

AROUND THE STATE
BEAVER DAM

Walker supports civil
service system changes
Gov. Scott Walker, who said
four years ago that the civil service system offered state workers “the most important” job
protections, on Friday defended
his support of a proposal that
would change it to make it easier
to hire and fire employees.
Walker told reporters that
the changes he’s backing in the
Legislature would remove the
current system, not open it to
cronyism and partisan political
appointments as its Democratic
and union critics contend.
“If anything we’re enhancing the benefits of the old civil

service system,” Walker said
after touring Apache Stainless
Corporation.
Wisconsin’s 100-year-old civil
service system covers about
30,000 state workers. The proposed changes would do away
with a required civil service
exam, eliminate “bumping”
rights that protect more experienced workers from losing
their jobs, speed up the hiring
process and define specific acts
that amount to just cause for being fired.

want to endorse any of his fellow
Republicans who remain in the
race for president.
Walker made the disclosure
Friday while taking questions
from reporters for the first
time since abruptly dropping
out of the presidential race on
Monday.
“Who knows. I might,” he said
when asked if he would endorse
any current GOP candidates.
“But I think right now the focal
point has got to be focused on
my job here in Wisconsin.”

The FBI says it has received

The threats are over delinquent

AROUND THE WORLD
UNITED NATIONS

Summit approves plan
tackling world issues
With the bang of a gavel, international leaders approved an
ambitious 15-year plan Friday to
tackle the world’s biggest problems, from eradicating poverty
to preserving the planet to reducing inequality. Now comes
the tough part: Drumming up
support and money to achieve
the goals and transform the
world.
Pope Francis gave his backing to the new development
agenda in an address to the U.N.
General Assembly before the
summit to adopt the 17-point
plan opened, calling it “an important sign of hope” at a very
troubled time in the Middle East
and Africa.
When General Assembly
President Mogens Lykketoft
struck his gavel to approve the
development road map, leaders
and diplomats from the 193 U.N.
member states stood and applauded loudly.
Then, the summit immediately turned to the real business

of the three-day meeting — implementation of the goals, which
is expected to cost $3.5 trillion to
$5 trillion every year until 2030.

SAUDI ARABIA

Government accused
of neglect of holy sites
Saudi Arabia faced new accusations of neglect Friday in the
hajj disaster that killed over 700
people, the second tragedy at
this year’s pilgrimage overseen
by the kingdom’s rulers who
base their legitimacy in part on
protecting Islam’s holiest sites.
Leading the criticism was regional Shiite powerhouse Iran,
which always seeks an opportunity to undermine its Sunni
adversary.
Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani suggested that “ineptitude” by the Saudi authorities
involved in organizing the hajj
was to blame for the two accidents this month that have resulted in at least 830 deaths.
Saudi Arabia has spent billions of dollars and undertaken
massive construction projects
to make the annual hajj safer

Croatia lifts blockade with VW taps head of
Serbia over migrant issue Porsche as new CEO
Southeastern
Europe’s
squabbling
leaders
moved
Friday to ease the border tensions that have escalated for
more than a week since Hungary sought to slow the flood
of asylum seekers through its
territory.
Croatia reopened its main
cargo crossing Friday with Serbia after heated exchanges between the two former Yugoslav
states. The decision came hours
after Hungarian Prime Minister
Viktor Orban pledged to consult
with governments in the region
before moving ahead with plans
to build a fence along the Croatian border.
The concessions came shortly after a European Union summit on the migrant crisis, suggesting that the 28-nation bloc
had become alarmed at the lack
of cooperation between neigh-

Volkswagen’s
board
appointed the head of its Porsche
unit as CEO on Friday, handing
longtime company insider Matthias Mueller the task of trying
to lead the world’s top-selling
automaker past a growing emissions scandal.
The company also said it was
suspending some employees
and would reorganize its North
America operations after admitting it used a piece of engine
software to cheat on diesel car
emissions tests in the U.S.
The decisions come after the
previous CEO, Martin Winterkorn, quit the job this week over
the scandal.
The company could be heavily fined and hit with class-action
lawsuits costing billions. It will
also have to fix programming
it has said is in some 11 million
cars worldwide.

Steffel completes AgSource field technician training

KAYLA
STEFFEL

Kayla Steffel, AgSource’s
northeast region field technician, completed the intermediate field technician training session Sept. 1-2 at the
AgSource headquarters in
Verona.
Intermediate
training
brings staff together in an educational setting to focus on

the foundation of dairy herd
improvement services, including management reports,
data collection and herd products. Technicians receive
hands-on training and interaction with instructors.
“We need to make sure
that field technicians are
staying current. Interme-

diate training will serve to
better prepare them for the
demands of working with a
very diverse dairy industry,”
said Erin Berger, AgSource’s
director of outreach, training
and sales support.
Participants had a chance
to meet the customer service
representatives and see how

a DHI report is processed.
They gained a better understanding of AgSource policies
and procedures and the onfarm data collection software
used by AgSource, DairyComp 305.
AgSource is the largest,
full-service DHI provider in
the country, conducting re-

search and development,
field data collection, laboratory analysis and diagnostics,
management
information,
meter service and outreach
and education.
AgSource is a memberowned cooperative and a
subsidiary of Cooperative Resources International.

Children can benefit from chiropractic care same as adults
With more and more parents across
the county taking their children – even
babies – in for chiropractic care, there
are still questions as to why they might
need care, if it is safe for children and
what the benefits are.
The Chiropractic Society of Wisconsin,
along with doctors of chiropractic across
the state, have made it a point recently
to expand their efforts to educate parents
on the role chiropractic care can play in
the overall health care of kids.
“We decided to be part of the effort to
better educate the public,” said Dr. Katie

Mead, co-owner of the Countryview Chiropractic Clinic, S.C., in Shawano. “We
see a lot of families in our practice. It
surprises me when older patients come
in our office and ask about why there are
kids in here getting care.”
In the last decade, with almost every
kid using hand-held devices to communicate, play games or watch videos, the
prevalence of so called “text neck” has
become a serious orthopedic issue and a
big concern for chiropractors.
Chiropractors help relieve some of
these issues by realigning the spine,

teaching better posture habits and helping parents to better understand the
long term effects of this “heads down”
lifestyle.
“The dentists have done a great job at
educating the public that every person,
young and old, needs to have their teeth
checked by a dentist, regardless of any
tooth pain or symptoms. It’s just good
hygiene. It’s the same with chiropractic

care,” Mead said. “Every person should
have their spine checked. A healthy spine
and nervous system means a healthy functioning body. The spine houses the nervous
system and the nervous system is our master control system that runs the body.”
October is Chiropractic Month. On
Oct. 29, chiropractors in Shawano County
and across the state will offer educational
opportunities for area residents.

Patti
Peterson,
tourism manager for
the Shawano Country
Chamber of Commerce,
said the addition of historic old fishing boats
adds a new component to a fun collection
that already draws big
crowds by offering, as
she put it, “a little something for everybody.”
“He keeps coming up
with ideas,” Peterson
said. “You never know
what he’s going to do
next.”
As usual, Hopkins
has a method to his
madness.
After recently acquiring an additional
18 acres just east of his

“You never know
what he’s going to
do next.”
PATTI PETERSON, tourism
manager of the Shawano
Country Chamber of
Commerce

Harley-Davidson property, he has decided
to create a parking lot
where patrons can park
RVs or other vehicles for
overnight stays — free
of charge. The boats will
be displayed there, too,
and will be equipped
with beds for visitors
who want to climb inside
and spend the night.
“They’re pretty rough
inside,” he said of the
vessels. “They’re not
the Ritz-Carlton, but
they’re free.”

Hopkins was shopping for a sailboat in
Marinette about a year
ago when he noticed
the old fishing boats in
a nearby marina. Dating
back to the 1930s and
1940s, the boats looked
much like the commercial vessels he enjoyed
watching as a kid, hauling fresh catches of
Lake Michigan whitefish, perch and grubb.
After much negotiation, Hopkins purchased
the boats for $3,000 each
and paid another $3,500
to transport them to his
business property in
Bonduel.
He hopes to have the
boats ready for patrons
to enjoy by next spring,
along with the rest of the
overnight parking lot.
Wendell Wilke, a lake
shipping historian from
Algoma, has provided
Hopkins with a deeper
appreciation of the history of the boats. Wilke
remembers seeing both
vessels in action before
commercial fishing on
Lake Michigan declined
and most boats either relocated or deteriorated.
Wilke said the Harley-Davidson
dealership in Shawano County
is achieving important
historical preservation
for a type of boat that is
largely forgotten.
“It is a bygone era,”
he said. “It’s kind of nice
to keep one or two of
them intact.”

City budget discussions heat up as fall beckons
“In autumn, don’t go
to the jewelers to see
gold; go to the parks.” —
Mehmet Murat ildan
Fall is my favorite time
of year. I love the fresh
cool air, watching the
animals scurrying about
preparing for winter, the
beautiful fall colors and
the smell of a pumpkin
pie baking in the oven.
Scarecrows and fall flower
arrangements are beginning to appear here at City
Hall. Residents stopping
in are wearing Green Bay
Packers and Shawano
Hawks sweatshirts.
We welcome fall, but we
still have a few projects
to complete. No doubt
most of you have noticed
the Spirit of Shawano
Park renovation project
(corners of Green Bay
Street and Main Street)
has begun.

Several residents have
voiced their concern regarding the statues located at the park. Although
their location within the
park may change, the statues are part of our history
and will continue to be a
focal point of the park.
The shrubs and bushes
have been removed, and
the area will be landscaped to give the park a
more “open” and welcoming look.
The 1,350 names currently appearing on the
memory/recognition walls
will be re-engraved onto
two large granite plaques.
It is anticipated the renovation will be completed
by mid-November with the
exception of the placement of the plaques. They
will be put up in spring.
The city is developing
a park plan for Smalley

Positively Shawano

Park. During the Oct.
3 farmers market at
Franklin Park, various
concepts will be available for viewing. Resident
comments are encouraged. Representatives
involved with the project
will be available to listen
to citizen input from 9 a.m.
until noon.
There is more good
news for downtown Shawano. Domenic Badala-

menti, of Luigis, recently
announced they are also
now the owners of Fannita’s Bakery, formerly
known as Bult’s Bakery.
Domenic said, “We
will be keeping the same
treats and adding some
new items.”
He added, “We will be
selling our homemade
bread with our already
popular desserts that we
sell as Luigi’s.”
I can attest to those
awesome desserts. For
Christmas dinner each
year, I order a red velvet
cake from Luigis. It is simply delicious! Looks like
this year I will be ordering
it from Fannitas.
Budget time is upon us,
and various city committees have been discussing
the 2016 budget with city
department heads. The
capital improvement bud-

gets have been submitted
and operational budgets
were due on Sept. 24.
City Administrator
Brian Knapp told me he
and his 12-pack of Sun
Drop will be spending the
weekend at City Hall putting the numbers together
for the Oct.5 finance committee meeting, where
elected officials will have
their first glimpse. Additional meetings have been
scheduled throughout the
month of October.
Normally there is a
great deal of give and take
before the final numbers
are agreed upon. Everyone takes this process
extremely seriously, and
minutes quickly turn into
hours of discussions. Each
year’s budget is unique
and requires a great deal
of scrutiny and consideration.

A public hearing on the
2016 city budget will be
held on Nov. 18 at 6 p.m.
Immediately following the
public hearing, the Common Council will vote on
the adoption of the budget.
This weekend is
Shawano’s homecoming.

Letters to the Editor
Entire community will benefit
from Hope expansion
To the editor:
At Hope Community
Church, we’re not only
looking forward to the
future of our church, but
also the futures of families
right here in Shawano. On
Sunday, Sept. 13, we held
the official groundbreaking ceremony for our new
Kids and Family Center.
We are in the early stages of construction of an
18,000-square-foot
addition to our current facility.
This addition will include a Kids and Family
Center that will serve as
a multipurpose area for
games, seminars, large
group meetings and other
events not only for our
church members, but also
for our entire community.
This addition will contain
additional classrooms, a
new nursery, a preschool
area, a resource center
and a new, bigger entrance that will allow for
easier access to our new
Family Center.
Our current facility was
built with growth in mind
— and our current attendance numbers demand
that additional space. In
fact, our Sunday morning
attendance has surpassed
540, with more than 130
new families visiting this
past year! The growth of
our Sunday morning attendance, along with that
of many other programs
that take place at Hope
during the week, were
part of the decision-making process that led our
church leaders to pursue

this expansion.
At Hope Community
Church, we strive to invest in kids and families
in the Shawano area in a
way that inspires people
to live generously and
make a positive impact on
the world around them.
We believe in reaching
the whole family with the
hope of Jesus, and this expansion will help facilitate
even more opportunities
for parents to engage in
activities with their children, especially during the
week.
Not only do we want
to encourage others to
be generous and make a
positive impact on their
community and the world,
we want to walk the walk.
This building addition
will be paid for entirely
by families at Hope Community Church who have
made financial commitments to do so. Part of
our church’s commitment
is to give back 10 percent
of what is raised for the
building to our community. This means that more
than $60,000 will go toward
investing in outreach and
compassionate initiatives
right here in the Shawano
area over the next few
years!
Hope
Community
Church is excited to continue positively impacting
our community through
this expansion.

Tax money should not be wasted
on private schools

To the editor:
Now that Gov. Scott
Walker is back in Wisconsin and his policies don’t
have to please his donors,
maybe we can talk about
how tax dollars shouldn’t
be wasted on private
schools.
A nonpartisan report
estimated that private
school vouchers, which
have been pushed by the
Republican-controlled
Legislature, will cost taxpayers over $1.18 billion by
the end of the 2016-17 fiscal
year. In addition, the state
treasury will take a $30
million per year hit from
a tax giveaway to parents
already sending their kids
to private schools.
State Superintendent
Tony Evers said we can
no longer honestly say
that every child has equal
access to the kind of education to put them on the
path to live the American
Dream. Economic background can now determine
the extent of knowledge
and skills that a student
can obtain from an education in Wisconsin. It is sad
that not only are our public schools being hurt by
budget cuts, but also failed
voucher schools have hurt
countless students and
families.
Whether they have not

met requirements related
to finances, accreditation,
student safety or auditing, every school needs to
serve the best interests of
students and taxpayers.
It is fiscally unacceptable
that 57 taxpayer subsidized voucher schools
have been closed since
2003. The most-recent
voucher school to take
unaccountable taxpayer
dollars closed its doors
abruptly nine days into the
school year.
There are Democratic
voices in the Legislature
that have proposed restoring the historic budget
cuts to public schools as
well as strengthening local control and increasing
voucher school accountability to reduce fraud.
These efforts need to be
supported by those of us
who pay taxes.
By alerting our present
legislators of the need to
end the waste, fraud and
abuse going on with the
voucher school program
as it now exists, and casting a ballot for the Democrats who will oppose
them in the next elections,
we can stop Walker’s
failed experiment and restore our public schools.

Hope Community Church held a groundbreaking Sept. 13 for an 18,000-square-foot addition for a new Kids and Family Center.

Former hospital could become condos
To the editor:
I’d like to make a suggestion for the old Shawano hospital. I’ve mentioned this to a few people
and they all thought it was
a great idea. Has anyone
ever thought about making
some “higher end” condos
or apartments out of the
building for 55 and up?
I am thinking specifically for us snow birds. My
husband and I have been
thinking about selling our
home and getting a condo,
but there are very few in
the area that we’d like. We
really like the single ranch
ones on the Wolf River on
Main Street, but the only
ones we’ve seen for sale
are the ones with condos
above them as well.
For my husband and
me, it would be perfect to
be able to go to Arizona
for several months in the
winter, not having to worry
about plowing and upkeep
and whether or not the
house is OK while we’re

gone, and we’d still be able
to come back to the area
for the other six months
we don’t want to be in Arizona.
Granted, you couldn’t
put a price on them like
they do in downtown
Green Bay or larger cities,
but they need to be larger
and nicer than just a regular apartment. I’m not sure
if you’d want to sell them
or rent them, but it would a
year-round deal. We aren’t
ready to go into one of
those tiny little things.
It’s a perfect setting
right there on the river.
You could still have your
community center and
other things on the lower
floor. It’s just a thought.
We are actually looking outside the area now
because there really isn’t
anything like that in Shawano or the surrounding
area.

Residents show patriotism by flying flag
To the editor:
Is America’s pride waning?
I took my typical daily
doggie walks on the night
of Sept. 24 (a nonholiday)
around the Hamlin Street,
Center Street and Union
Street route. As I looked
down the streets and
side streets, I was able to
observe 14 homes with
Old Glory flapping in the
breeze, either having been
affixed to the house or on a
nice tall visible pole.
It even seemed to me
that a number of neighborhood residents had just
put theirs up in the last few

weeks. That was a pretty
sight to see.
Is America’s pride waning? I don’t think so. An
increase in the showing of
our colors would indicate
that type of patriotism is
still alive and well!
Dear reader, how does
your neighborhood stack
up in terms of flag flying? All neighborhoods of
Shawano perhaps should
strive and have a goal to
encourage more Old Glory
sightings on a daily basis
in the near future!

Hit-and-run victim’s family seeks answers
To the editor:
Let me tell you: July 25,
2015, is the day when someone or more than one person killed our son David.
How can these people
leave our son lay on the
blacktop for more than 10
hours when the temperature was over 84 degrees?
Since that day we have no
answers for this crime.
First, the investigator disappeared. Second,
the FBI, State Patrol and
new investigators have
given us no answers for

the crime this person or
persons committed. They
have no idea how it is to
go every day without even
one single clue.
Before we have any
meeting with anyone, we’d
like to have the FBI, State
Patrol, first and second
investigators, coroner and
police chief records to read
what kind of report they
made of our son Dave’s
death.

People need to stand up for public schools
To the editor:
The continued destruction of the public school
system
in
Wisconsin
needs to stop. The provisions of Act 10 eliminated
teacher bargaining powers and effectively silenced their voices. Now
reduced to second-class
citizenship, these teachers would put their jobs in
jeopardy if they made any
strong protests in regard
to the current reductions
in public school budgets.
Similarly, administrative representatives have
failed in their efforts to
sway the conservative faction of the Legislature to
restore the budget cuts
to public schools. That
puts the pressure on the
parents of public school
children who must assert their influence either
through direct pressure
or at the ballot box. These
parents need to renew
their commitment to children and public schools as
being the most important
element of their communities.
In another destructive
direction, the present conservative Legislature not
only cuts taxpayer money
from public schools, but
also uses this same tax-

payer money to subsidize
private schools, many of
which are religious. The
tradition in this state of
separating church activities from those of the
state has apparently been
eroded.
The latest move of this
conservative group will
certainly turn out to be the
straw that broke the camel’s back. Now they want
the position of state superintendent of schools to be
an appointed rather than
an elected position. In other words, the superintendent would be appointed
by the same group that
continues to tear down the
public school system in
Wisconsin.
The direction of these
policies of the conservative elements in the state
Legislature will only continue to weaken one of
the finest public school
systems in the nation. The
citizens of the great state
of Wisconsin need to make
their public schools a priority and confront those in
the Legislature who are
determined to destroy the
public school system in
Wisconsin.

Seniors hurt by Democrats’ legislation
To the editor:
Seniors, if you are not
already aware of the drastic loss of medical coverage by Medicare and Medicaid that had taken place
this year, you will soon.
Costs for many routine
tests and services that
were covered this last
year are no longer. Thank
your Democratic legislators and some others for
this by their support of
Obamacare. Stealing millions from the MedicareMedicaid programs. It’s

the law; just read it!
We seniors on limited
incomes are those getting
the shaft. Feingold says
Johnson is getting the
support of the wealthy but
fails to tell of liberal billionaires like George Soros and Bill Gates who are
spending millions lobbying state leaders to adopt
Common Core without
public debate.
Think, then get out and
vote!

Farm Life

Birthday
trip off
the farm
Football season is
underway. I love it! The
cameras zoom in on these
big fellas so close you can
see their beard stubble.
Our guy under center
is cool, composed and settled; his eyes reflect his
confidence and his play
cements it. He is an amazing, talented, faith-filled
man of God. At a press
conference during a recent post-game interview
he said with a dimpled
smile, “Gotta give all the
glory to God. God was a
Packer fan tonight. He
took care of us.”
Concerning are all the
injuries at this point. However, we have depth and
they are ready, proving
that on the Sunday night
Packers/Seahawks game.
I’m excited to have James
Jones back!
The ups and downs of
life are normal and to be
expected, but if I’m kind
of down for whatever reason, and the Packers win
that weekend, Mondays
seem a little brighter.
Silly? Perhaps, but I have
to admit a Packers win
lifts a down-in-the-dumps
mood just a bit!
Just recently my
husband celebrated a
birthday. As we get older,
I’m finding it increasingly
difficult buying presents
for my man. It’s not that
he’s getting fussier, it’s
just that by this age, what
doesn’t he have?
I decided I’d get him
off the farm, surprising
him by arranging a night
off milking, with a special
treat of going to Green
Bay to meet up with our
daughter and taking in
supper at Brett Favre
Steakhouse. As an added
surprise, our middle one
drove up from Milwaukee
that night, showing up at
his sister’s dorm to shock
his dad when we walked
in the door.
Getting off the farm is
always a challenge, even
for one night. We are in
the process of chopping
corn so we worked as long
as we could before shutting down to start chores
early. We always feed all
the animals and get cows
in the barn before leaving
the farm for a night off.
We do this so seldom that
the cows have an issue
coming in the barn early.
They look at us like, what
do you think you’re doing?
We’re supposed to come
in already?
Driving into Green Bay
we were again amazed at
all the ongoing construction. I think the brick
walls and pillars look so
dignified and stately. We
noted if it weren’t for the
Packers, none of that
would be happening. The
new Titletown District
sounds like it is going to
be simply astonishing,
bringing people and their
wallets into Green Bay
from all over the country!
Plans are in the works
to erect a huge replica of
Bart Starr’s Super Bowl
ring as well as a Lodge
Kohler hotel, Hinterland
brewery, Bellin Health
sports clinic, a park, a
plaza and an ice skating
rink in the winter. (From
www.wbay.com)
Our middle one took
me to Lambeau for a
preseason game against
Philadelphia in August. It
is always an amazing experience to get inside the
bowl. I am awed. He took
me to that game because
my kids know I love Tim

Sportsmen’s club works to
better hunting and fishing
By Carol Wagner
Leader Correspondent

Since 1970, the White Clay
Lake Sportsmen’s Club has continued its mission to better the
hunting and fishing opportunities
and to help control the wildlife in
the White Clay Lake area.
White Clay Lake is a natural
lake of around 257 acres that is
fed by runoff.
“I’ve grown up on this lake,”
said Kent Heller, who has been
the club president for four years.
One of the club’s main activities is raising and releasing 350
pheasants every year. Member
Don Radloff and his wife, Barbara, have raised them since the
1970s. In October, the pheasants
are released.

“Some go on state land and
some go on club members’ land,”
Heller said.
On Oct. 3, the club and Department of Natural Resources will
sponsor a youth hunt on members’ land after giving the participants a history and safety lesson.
“Each hunter partners with a
mentor,” Heller said.
Another activity important to
the club is stocking the lake with
walleyes. Since 2001, between
2,000 and 2,500 fingerlings have
been put in the lake. A raffle will
begin soon to pay for the stocking by selling 200 tickets at $100
a piece. The drawing is on Dec.
12.
“There’s a waiting list for tickets,” Heller said.
On Feb. 13, the club will hold its

45th annual ice fishing derby on
the lake, along with a kids raffle.
“Every kid gets a prize,” Heller
said.
In March, the club has an iceout contest and the pheasants are
ordered. In April and early May,
members repair anything that
needs to be fixed at the pheasant
pens before the chicks arrive in
May.
The club takes care of the docks
and boat landings on White Clay
Lake, Pensaukee Lake, Korth
Lake and Swan Acres. In 1989,
members built a dock on White
Clay Lake for the handicapped.
In the spring, the club gives
a scholarship to a student from
Bonduel High School who is interested in studying conservation.
Since 1996, the club has spon-

sored kids going to Timber Top
Camp.
In August, the club has a corn
roast, going to a different member’s house each year. On Labor
Day, members work in the Shawano County Conservation Club
stand at the Shawano County
Fair.
“We are involved in a variety of
activities,” Heller said.
The club meets at 8 p.m. on
the second Sunday of the month
at White Clay Lake Lodge. Other
officers are Jerry Schneider, vice
president, Mary DeBauch, secretary, and Carol Schneider, treasurer. Board members are John
DeBauch, Roger Dorn and Jack
Schneider.

Clay Lake Lodge at 715-745-6254.

Meet Christi Bruce
By Carol Wagner
Leader Correspondent

Christi Bruce volunteers for the Red River
Riders, a nonprofit organization that has classes
for special needs kids and
adults.
She was born in Plymouth and graduated from
Plymouth High School.
Bruce was a stay-athome mom for three sons
before working at M&I
for 12 years and then at
an assisted living facility
in New London for two
years. She and her husband, Tom, who is materials manager for ThedaCare, have been married
42 years and have four
grandchildren. They live
in Clintonville. Christi
likes to do yard work.
Tom also helps with
the Red River Riders
when he can.
The couple also spends
time at their cabin in the
mountains in Arizona and
has visited Alaska, where
Christi’s sister lives.

Q
A

How long have you
been volunteering at
Red River Riders?
“I am almost to the
end of six full years.
I help at the Wednesday classes at 5 and
6:15. Tom can help
sometimes.”

Q
A

How did you get
started?
“A long time ago
after we moved
to Clintonville, I saw
an ad in the paper that
they were looking for
volunteers. Then a
friend talked to us about
volunteering.”

What do you do?
“A lot of times if we
have enough volunteers I take pictures

home. Sometimes I lead
the horse or am a side
walker. I love horses.
I had two when I was
a kid. There are different special functions
when the riders can
play games and I help
with those. I love to be
around horses. If she
needs help I try to get
there.”

Q
A

Why would you
encourage others to
help?
“It is the most rewarding thing you
can do to help disabled
riders. This summer, we
were short-handed. If we
don’t have enough volunteers, they might not be
able to ride. It gives the

riders something to look
forward to. The degree
of disability really varies.
Some can ride alone.”

Q
A

Why do you help?
“It’s doing something for somebody
else. They enjoy it and
have big smiles on their
faces.”

Tigerton quilters help keep Cancer is our common enemy
Orphan Grain Train rolling
Most winters, several women in my church
work on making quilts
for missions. Much of
the fabric is donated by
church members, by others in the community and
by some of our neighboring churches no longer
able to keep making
quilts for missions.
The mission quilting has been going on
in Lutheran churches
for many years. Most
of them make quilts for
Lutheran World Relief,
and the quilting ladies at
our St. John Lutheran, in
Tigerton, used to donate
ours there also. However,
a couple of years ago we
decided to donate them
to Orphan Grain Train
instead.
In the past winters,
as we had a box or two of
quilts filled, I would haul
them to Shawano and
drop them off at St James
Lutheran, or wherever
they wanted them to go.
However, this past winter, our quilting group
could not get started until
nearly spring because
new flooring was going
into our hall. Quilting was
put on hold until the hall
was finished.
We seldom got together, and much of the
work was done at home. I
am the one who patches
big pieces of fabric
together to make backs
for the quilts, or we use
sheets as backing. I also
sewed quite a few quilt
tops together over winter.
One other lady sews quilt

Leah Lehman
tops at home. In order
to make tops, one of our
ladies cuts apart old
clothing and cuts them
into blocks.
At church, a couple of
ladies layer the tops and
bottoms together, adding
a filler if needed due to
the thickness of the top
and bottom layer. Then
they are pinned, and
another lady takes them
home to sew around the
edge. From that point,
another woman in our
church takes them home
to tie the quilts.
So, while we enjoy
working together most
winters, it didn’t work
that way this year. Because we were doing the
work at home, it seemed
nothing was accomplished. Somehow, hauling the boxes to Shawano
was also forgotten.
Now that our church
needs the hall cleaned up
so tables can be readied
for our annual harvest
dinner, the quilting boxes
were sitting in the way.
So, one afternoon, with
the help of youth from our
church, boxes of things
we are saving for the

coming mission quilting season were carried
away and put into storage. The boxes of finished
quilts were loaded into
my van for delivery to
Shawano and the Orphan
Grain Train.
I made a phone call,
a time was set, and to
my relief, there were
three able and smiling
gentlemen waiting at St.
James for the delivery of
the quilts. It was humbling to know that what
a few women in Tigerton
did filled a small need
for those who pack and
assemble things for shipment to the Orphan Grain
Train. Wil Kleinschmidt
explained to me that
more things were coming
from other churches.
Because of the humble
efforts of a few here and
there, a wonderful blessing is sent out into the
world to those who need
a warm blanket or quilt,
or other items. While the
ladies from St. John Quilters in Tigerton will never
know or meet the people
who receive the quilts, we
know that the Lord will
bless each recipient in a
very special way.
Matthew, chapter
6 tells us to practice
the gifts to the needy
in secret. I write this
column not to brag about
what our mission quilters
do, nor what anyone
else does, but I was so
inspired by the needs
and the volunteers of the
Orphan Grain Train, that
I wanted others to know.

FROM A8

Tebow and, at the time, he
had been picked up by the
Eagles. They had him in
for two two-point conversions; both unsuccessful.
He threw an interception
and fumbled one snap
and sat on the bench the
rest of the game. Subsequently, he was released
by Philadelphia. He is a
wonderful Christian man
whom I deeply admire
and respect, but he is no
football player.
So, the birthday outing
continued. Many people
were meandering about
Lambeau because we
were playing Seattle the
next evening. We got to
Brett Favre Steakhouse
and were seated immediately, despite a home
game weekend. After a

new cancer care program
and Regional Cancer
Center, we’re applying to
cancer care what we’ve
been doing for years in all
areas of patient care —
redefining better.
For example, patients
and families told us they
want cancer treatment
options beyond chemotherapy. Chemotherapy
is an important option,
certainly, but it’s only one
treatment among many,
and it isn’t right for every
patient. Patients understand that, too. As a result,
our cancer care program
offers the most complete
set of cancer care services
north of Milwaukee. Those
services include cutting
edge, non-traditional and
alternative treatments, as
well as access to experts
at Mayo Clinic. That
spectrum of options allows
patients and families to
choose what’s right for
them.
I’m proud that our
premier cancer care
team is led by a nationally

leisurely meal, we finished and made our way
out the door. Just coming
in was a guy and gal in
Seahawk garb. “Oh no,
a Hawk!” we exclaimed,
and laughed.
Turned out he was the
nicest guy. Very dedicated to Seattle, though,
and talking smack, but
in a good-natured way.
Although he got serious
when he started discussing Green Bay and the
rich history here. He
called Lambeau “majestic,” which we thought
was appropriate and in

turn, we acknowledged
our respect for his admiration. We left shaking
hands; may the best man
win.
All in all, my husband
was very pleased with
his unexpected night off
and all that it involved.
Because we got in rather
late, the next morning we
woke up gritty-eyed, but
happy. That very night
the Packers beat the
Seahawks!

known and sought-after
expert and his commitment to honoring patients’
wishes, pursuing cure and
leveraging clinical trials is
reflected among our entire
team. I’m also proud that
each one of our providers
works to share standards
across our system. No
matter where patients are
seen, or their individual
situations, each one experiences the same, high
quality care.
Some folks seem to
think there’s a cancer care
rivalry going on around
here. Sometimes, competition in health care is good
for a community. It gives
consumers, patients and
purchasers real choice. It
spurs genuine improvement and better results
for everyone.
I propose we all focus
our energy on our common rival: cancer. That’s
what our community
needs, what patients and
families deserve, and what
will set cancer on its heels
— regardless of where
patients are treated.
As a community, could
we be as proud of the
quality cancer care available here as we are of the
many other amenities that
contribute to our quality of
life? I’d like to think so.

Our community is
fortunate. We are rightly
proud of the many organizations and institutions
that make the greater Fox
Valley region a wonderful
place to live. From quality
arts to thriving businesses
and attractive neighborhoods to good schools,
this place we call home is
pretty special.
When it comes to
health care, we have access to great doctors, care
focused on patients, the
latest technologies and
broad options for a community our size. Where
cancer care is concerned,
that’s never been more
true than today. Our community’s cancer care has
been good. Today, it’s even
better.
I wish no one ever had
to face the challenges of
cancer. As a physician,
friend and member of
a loving family that has
seen more than our share
of cancer, I have all too
often witnessed the fear,
hardship, confusion, inconvenience and expense
this disease creates for
families. So when ThedaCare patients told us they
wanted cancer care that
puts them first and builds
a care plan around their
personal goals for treatment, health and lifestyle,
we listened.
That response is typical
for ThedaCare. With our

basket for the barn dance.
To conclude the meeting, members helped
themselves to snacks and

CHICAGO

Cutler, Jeffery
to sit Sunday
The Chicago Bears will
be without injured quarterback Jay Cutler for
Sunday’s game at Seattle,
and he is not the only one
hurting.
For the second straight
week, top Bears receiver
Alshon Jeffery will miss a
game. Cutler and Jeffery
are both nursing pulled
hamstrings and both were
ruled out Friday by coach
John Fox, who said he is
counting on quarterback
Jimmy Clausen to guide
the Bears against Seattle,
which has reached the last
two Super Bowls. Both
teams are 0-2.
Cutler will accompany
the team on the trip to Seattle. Fox said he wanted
to call Cutler doubtful for
the game, but decided
against it.
Cutler didn’t actually
practice Friday, though.
He just threw a few passes
on the side.

LOUISIANA

Brees to miss
Week 3 game
Drew Brees will be
sidelined for New Orleans’
game at Carolina on Sunday, when the Saints will
try to avoid falling to 0-3.
Brees, who is recovering from a bruised rotator
cuff in his right (throwing)
shoulder, will be replaced
in the lineup by 12-year
veteran Luke McCown,
Saints coach Sean Payton
said Friday.
Payton said resting
Brees this weekend was
not a difficult decision.
Payton also declined to
forecast whether Brees
would return the following
week against Dallas.
Sunday’s game will
mark the first start Brees
has missed because of an
injury since joining New
Orleans in 2006. Brees
briefly was in the locker
room while it was open to
media, but politely chose
not to talk about the decision, allowing McCown to
absorb the spotlight.

Cats learn to play together in loss
Blazers run over Cats in 68-8 victory
By Chris Caporale
[email protected]

As Gresham/Bowler junior
running back J.J. Church took a
direct snap to the left side of his
offensive line, he found his biggest hole of the night, shaking
one defender and sprinting past
another for a 23-yard score.
The Cats (1-5, 1-3 Great
8-North) mobbed him in the end
zone with 2:21 remaining in the
fourth quarter to celebrate their
lone score in a 68-8 blowout at
the hands of Green Bay NEW
Lutheran (6-0, 4-0 Great 8-North)
Friday night.
“(The touchdown) showed
that when we are out there, if
we do everything right, we can
score, and that will put us in
the game with a lot of the other
teams we play against,” Gresham/Bowler head coach Andrew
Meverden said.

The bigger and stronger Blazers, who are used to playing
smash-mouth football, ran over
Gresham/Bowler all night, which
led to Gabe Lloyd’s three 40-plusyard touchdowns on five carries.
Junior Brock Reisler added
159 yards on two carries, including two long touchdowns for
Green Bay NEW Lutheran.
“The great thing about it
is our running backs don’t get
touched,” Green Bay NEW Lutheran head coach Dick Hasseler said. “The blocking, our front
line, we’re not big, but we are
good as far as fundamentals. The
holes are there for my guys.”
On the first play from scrimmage, Cats quarterback Nathan
Montez found senior Bryton
Kratwell for a 15-yard gain before
throwing an interception, and
then losing 6 yards on the next
possession.
In the second quarter, though,

the Cats found their rhythm, extending drives into opposing territory on both possessions, but
turning the ball over on downs
each time.
Church finished the game
with 112 rushing yards for the
Cats.
“I’m not real happy about the
way they ran up the middle on us,
but you’ve got to give something
up,” Hasseler said.
With his team trailing in the
second quarter, Meverden promised his team a lighter workout
at practice Monday if they could
score a touchdown or stop the
Blazers from scoring on a drive.
The incentive seemed to energize his players, sustaining those
two drives in the second quarter
and leading to higher energy
late in the game, resulting in the
scoring drive.
The Cats were driving again
in the final minute of the game
but were stopped just inside of
the red zone as time ran out.

The Associated Press

Davante Adams made the
cuts and ran close to full speed
on his injured ankle in Green
Bay’s practice. Now the starting
receiver’s availability for Monday
night’s game against Kansas City
will depend on whether he can do
all that while absorbing contact.
There is one more practice left
this weekend before the Packers
can determine whether Adams
and running back Eddie Lacy are
available against the Chiefs. Lacy
also has an ankle injury.
Those are two more important names on the injury list for
an offense that has already lost
wide receiver Jordy Nelson to a
season-ending right knee injury.
Receiver Randall Cobb is playing
while recovering from a sprained
right shoulder.
Adams said thinking about his
ankle injury is “really the thing
that holds me back right now …
rather than just playing. But with
time, all that will go away and I’ll
be all right.”
So far, Adams and Lacy ap-

“This is probably one of the
first games we actually played as

hopefully make the playoffs.”

Staff Picks
Packers 31, Chiefs 17
The last time the Chiefs played the
Packers, they broke up Green Bay’s
chance for a perfect season. This
time, the Packers have too many answers, including home field, to take
control of the game. Aaron Rodgers
has been unstoppable at home and
should continue his streak against
the Chiefs defense. Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles will give

Green Bay’s defense more trouble
than Marshawn Lynch did, but by
himself, he will not be able to take
down the Green and Gold.
— Chris Caporale (2-0)

Packers 28, Chiefs 16
What is it about the Chiefs? The
Packers have never beaten them in
the regular season. If the Packers’ defense can control Jamaal Charles as
it did Marshawn Lynch, this could get

away from the Chiefs, though injuries
continue to mount for — and eventually will catch up to — the Packers’
offense. Kansas City’s pass rushers
are scary good, but so is Aaron Rodgers’ escapability. And I doubt Alex
Smith and the Chiefs’ receivers can
take advantage of a vulnerable GB
secondary. Have to stay with Pack
for at least another week.

Packers 21, Chiefs 17
The last time the Packers faced
the Chiefs was four years ago, which
means a lot has changed on both
sides. I think this is going to be a close
one, because although Aaron Rodgers has a stellar track record at home
games, the Packers have a number
of injuries that could make the game
more unpredictable than usual.

schedule pushed back by
a day for a Monday night
game, has helped.
It sure didn’t seem like
Adams would be OK on
Sunday night during the 2717 win over Seattle. Adams
was carted to the locker
room in the second quarter
after favoring his left foot.
Getting treatment inside Lambeau Field, Adams heard the roars of
fans. His adrenaline was
pumping. He wanted to get
back on the field.
He did so, albeit a bit
hobbled, in the second half.
“After the game, overnight it got a lot more sore
and a lot more swelling,”
Adams said. “I’m just trying to do what I’ve got to do
now so I can get right.”
The good news for the
Packers is they got effective contributions down
the stretch from rookie Ty
Montgomery, who would
step up Monday night for
Adams.
“Unfortunately we had
an injury, he had to step

in. He had a ball thrown
his way, he made a play,
he was able to break some
tackles,” Cobb said. “That’s
the kind of player that we
thought he would be.”
The Packers already
have a proven backup at
running back in James
Starks, who ran for 95 yards
on 20 carries. Lacy, who left
in the first quarter, did not
return against Seattle.
After practice Friday,
Lacy said he had played
through an ankle injury

PACKERS NOTES
• WR Randall Cobb was a
full participant at practice
for a second straight day,
while backup CB Demetri
Goodson (hamstring) missed
practice a second straight
day.
• LB Mike Neal (groin) was
held out Friday after being
limited on Thursday.
• S Morgan Burnett (calf)
was limited. He missed the
season opener against Chicago with the same injury.

during his rookie season
two years ago when he
was able to “tape it and
spat it.”
This injury was different. Lacy couldn’t put pressure on it, even after the
training staff completely retaped his ankle and added
another layer of black tape
around his shoe.
Lacy labeled the injury a
“day-to-day thing.”
“We’re not ruling anything out,” Lacy said. “If I
wake up tomorrow and I
don’t feel like I went backwards, then rehab is definitely going to make it feel
better for game time.”

prosper. 3 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22): Keep things in
perspective.
Overreacting will result
in a misunderstanding
that will turn an
opportunity into a
fiasco or misfortune.
Bide your time, listen
carefully and don't feel
pressured to make a
hasty decision. 3 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): What you do for
others will bring favors
in return. A change of
plans will allow you to
get to know someone
better. Use your skills
and talents and you
will discover a way to
bring in extra income.
3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): Things are
looking up. High
energy and a greater
interest in expanding
your talents will help
you find a direction that
allows you to earn a
living doing something
you enjoy. Positive
changes at home will
add to your comfort. 5
stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): You'll
experience ups and
downs. It's vital for you
to be articulate. Only
offer what's feasible.
You'll be held to your
word if you imply you
can do something that
is questionable.
Romance is in the
stars, but honesty will
be required. 2 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19): Take
charge and make
things happen. Avoid
anyone who tends to
be unpredictable. You
will come across an
interesting opportunity
but are best not to get
involved in a joint
venture. Go it alone or
take a pass. 4 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Rethink your
strategy. Consider
taking a different
approach when it
comes to dealing with
someone you love. A
change can spice up
your life. A partnership
with someone
innovative and willing
to experiment will pay
off. 3 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19March 20): Don't make
changes to the way
you do things or the
people you hang out
with. It's better to stick
to what you know than
to take a chance on
someone you know
little about. Emotional
matters will escalate
and deception is
apparent. 3 stars
Birthday Baby: You are
willful, intelligent and
progressive. You are
imaginative and
farsighted.

Happy Birthday: Stick
up for your rights and
don't put up with people
who are demanding or
trying to push you in a
direction in which you
don't want to go. Use
your intelligence to
outmaneuver anyone
trying to use muscle

ARIES (March 21-April

consider how you can
improve your situation.
Starting your own
business or joining
forces with someone
who has as much to
contribute as you is
favored. 3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Don't be fooled by
what others say. A lack

assumptions or hearsay
rather than facts.
Expand your interests
and look for ways to put
your skills to better use.
3 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June
20): Any contribution
you make to your
community or a cause

to make a difference.
Romance is
highlighted. 4 stars
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Take a step back
and evaluate any
situation you face that
is causing emotional
stress. Just because
someone makes an
unexpected change
doesn't mean it has to
affect what you do.
Don't get upset, just
take over and do what's
best for you. 2 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
You have good ideas to
share. Love is on the
rise, and a chance to
impress someone is
apparent. A financial
problem will result if
you are too gullible
when given a sales
pitch. Choose saving
over spending. 3 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22): Use your energy
wisely. Instead of
getting upset, blow off
steam at the gym or by
getting involved in

some form of lively
entertainment.
Misreading signals or
misinterpreting what
someone tells you is
likely. Wait for feedback
before taking action. 3
stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): Get involved in
something that interests
you. Explore what's
going on in your
community. A retreat or
some place where you
can learn, experience
or get pampered will
help ease your stress
and lift your spirits.
Love is highlighted. 3
stars

goal you've been
contemplating. 5 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): The
changes you want to
make to your home or
the way you live can be
implemented. Someone
you love will want to
help you get things
done. A romantic
evening will bring you
closer to someone you
love. 2 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Take care of
your interests. Don't let
anyone meddle or
persuade you to go
against your better
judgment. Believe in
your abilities and follow
through with your plans
regardless of what
others do or say. You
will come out on top. 4
stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Express your
feelings and plans. A
financial gain is within
reach if you follow your
instincts. Mastering
your talents and
presenting a way to
offer what you can do
for others will lead to a
prosperous and
enjoyable future. 4
stars
PISCES (Feb. 19March 20): Expect

Close call a wake-up for tree stand safety
Dean Gafner is lucky
to be alive.
Gafner, archery manager at Jon’s Sport Shop
in Oshkosh, fell out of his
tree stand this week when
the support strap broke,
landing on the ground 20
feet below.
He was very lucky. The
soil was a sandy loam,
and he narrowlymissed a
large rock with his shoulder and head.
Shaken, but without
much injury, he told customers at his shop that he
would never hunt without
a safety strap or harness
again.
Tree stand falls actually kill more hunters
nationwide than weaponsrelated injuries afield.
After a few close calls,
including a metal tree
step that snapped in half
as I was climbing down
(luckily it was the secondto-bottom step and not
up higher), I gave up on
elevated stand hunting
completely. I now hunt
exclusively from a ground
blind, and have had as
much or even more success there as I have in a
tree.
Many hunters successfully use tree stands
or elevated platforms
(pill-box blinds and other
permanent structures). If
you choose this method
of hunting, you must have
some sort of safety strap,
or even better, a harness
system with a “shock
cord” that will help ab-

Ross Bielema
sorb some of the impact if
you do fall.
Some tree stands
include a safety strap or
harness. Buy the best
available, because your
hunting future (and
maybe even walking or
moving future) depends
on it. Even a short fall of,
say, 10 feet can cause debilitating neck and spinal
injuries, or worse.
I don’t recommend
building your own tree
stands. As an outdoors
writer in Davenport,
Iowa, I once wrote about
the son of a welding shop
owner who made his own
metal stands. He was a
big man, and when one
of the welds failed, he
plummeted to the ground
below. Family members
found him dead at the foot
of the tree. He broke his
neck in the fall.
I’ve also personally
heard a man fall down
a tree with a climbing
stand. The stand miraculously caught just a few
feet before the ground!
I was hunting nearby
at Mukwa Wildlife Area
in New London when I

heard the strange sound,
reminding me of giant
squirrels chasing each
other around a tree. The
look on his face said it all.
He was white and almost
in shock, but happy he
wasn’t hurt.
I experimented with
the very first climbing
stand, the Baker Tree
Stand, back in the 1970s.
This overweight hunter
decided within one minute that a plywood climbing stand would not stay
in his hunting repertoire.
To use it, you hugged the
tree (which could have
no side limbs, so it didn’t
work on most trees),
then pulled the stand up
with your legs. I quickly
sold it and never looked
back. The company has
been out of business for
decades, possibly because
of the lawsuits associated
with their products.
Today’s climbers are
a far cry from the Baker
Tree Stand. Even with
modern designs, there’s
a bit of “hope and pray”
in their operation, and I
don’t want to risk serious
injury at all.
Ladder stands seem
to be the safest and most
sure design for elevated
hunting. There’s a problem with these, too: When
first installing a ladder
stand, you have to climb
it to get the support cable
or chain around it, which
means climbing it with no
support for a few precarious minutes! Again, if you

lose your balance, the entire stand (with you on it)
becomes a death-defying
carnival ride from hell. No
thanks. I know there are
some newer designs that
avoid these problems.
Falling asleep on stand
is a problem for some of
us, especially as we get
older. Before I discovered I had sleep apnea,
I’d nearly doze off while
driving my car in the
afternoon, let alone sitting
in a tree stand early in
the morning. During my
early deer hunting years,
I caught myself nodding
off many times in a tree
stand. I’m convinced that
many falls occur when
hunters fall asleep and
then literally fall, based
on the number of motor
vehicle accidents caused
in part by sleep apnea or
just nodding off for a few
seconds. When you fall
asleep in a ground blind,
the worst that can happen
is you miss your chance
at a big buck.
Tree stand safety, like
any other safety issue, is
your personal responsibility. Nobody but you can
make it happen. If you
don’t want to wear a safety
harness and be extra careful when climbing up and
down, do it for your family.
They want you to stick
around for a long time.
