The Largest, Locally Owned Storage Facility In This Area

by Vaughn R. Larson,Wisc. Dept. of Military Affairs

CAMP WILLIAMS -- In an auditorium inside theheadquarters of the 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team,

soldiers, family members and friends gathered Jan. 10 toremember a fallen comrade, husband, father and com-munity leader.

Staff Sgt. Todd Olson was a squad leader with Com-pany C, 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry Regiment when hewas wounded by an improvised explosive device duringa foot patrol near Samarra, Iraq on Dec. 26, 2004. He diedof his injuries the following day at an Army hospitalin Tikrit, Iraq -- the rst Red Arrow Soldier and secondWisconsin National Guard Soldier to die in OperationIraqi Freedom.

At 36, Olson was one of the older soldiers in his com-pany -- some of the soldiers he served with were only afew months removed from high school.

But he was also a school board member, a youth foot-ball coach, an agricultural loan ofcer and bank vicepresident, a husband and a father of four. He was fondof dispensing quotes from the movie Blazing Saddles.

Todd was a great leader -- he always led from thefront, said Peter Ashbeck, Olsons company commander

for the deployment. Indeed, Olson was in the point, orlead position, on the foot patrol at the time of the attack.

A lot of the guys in this room can attest to how hereally took the younger guys under his wing -- he waslooked at as a father gure, Ashbeck said

Olsons inuence was felt long before he joined theNational Guard.

When you think of Todd, you think of a lot of words-- very smart, very wise beyond his years, even as akid, said Michael Olson, Olsons cousin. He was like abig brother, not just a cousin. Its amazing how much Ilearned from the guy.

You think of leadership, intelligence, how responsiblehe really was, and when you hear stories from whenhe was in Charlie Company it really all makes sense,Michael continued. There was something special abouthim -- he had an impact on a lot of people. I think its agood day that were all together and able to remember ahero like that.

Allen Taylor, Olsons brother-in-law and a former 82ndAirborne Soldier, recalled telling Olson during a sendoffparty that the family was already proud of him and he didnot need to do anything heroic during the deployment.

Thats not my intent, he told me. But Ive got a lotof young soldiers Ive got to take care of, Taylor said.Thats my intent.

One of those young soldiers was Chris Zifko. He saidthat despite the age difference, he could talk with Olsonabout anything -- though his lack of experience some-times annoyed the elder noncommissioned ofcer.

I was green as green can get, and wed sit down andtalk and joke, and Id say something stupid and hed say,What are you talking about, man? Zifko said. The verylast conversation I had with Todd was when I was walkingpast him and someone was talking about someone beingate-up, -- a military expression for being mistake-prone-- and he looked at me and said, Zifko, youd know a thingor two about being ate-up.

A 35-acre outdoor recreation area with access to theBlack River will take the place of a rarely used 10-acrecounty park just off STH 29, according to a pair of reso-lutions to be considered by the Clark County Board ofSupervisors Thursday.

The rst resolution is to close Black River County Parkwest of Withee and sell the property -- along with two ad-ditional acres of adjacent county land -- to neighboringlandowner Lewis Martin for $56,400. The county wouldalso sell highway access from the park to the WisconsinDOT for another $25,000.

The resolution says the park was originally estab-lished as a wayside to serve the needs of transients pass-ing through the county, but has limited recreationalopportunities to county residents.

In addition, two half-acre spots of land -- one at SnyderCounty Park in the county forest and the other at Rus-sell Memorial Park in the town of Dewhurst -- would besold to private landowners whose property is currentlyencroaching on county park land.

Based on appraised values, the .52-acre land near Rus-sell park will be sold to Estrella Lamar for $2,900 and the.49-acre land near Snyder park will be sold to Scott andCheryl Revels for $2,100.

The $86,400 in total anticipated revenue from theseland sales will be split among three different countyfunds:

-- The $56,400 from the sale of Black River Park willgo into a fund for making improvements to the Sports-man Lake area north of Owen, where more amenitiesare planned.

County conservationist Matt Zoschke is handling theimprovement plans for Sportsman Lake, which includepossible walking trails, bird-watching platforms anda handicap-accessible fishing pier. A comprehensivemanagement and recreation plan is set to be releasedthis spring.

Walker trying to decide if hes been called

Esther Niedzwiecki Owen

MattPommer

Members of the TRG editorialBoard include Publishers Kris

OLeary and Kevin Flink,Editor Dean Lesar, and

Carol OLeary.

Perhaps Gov. Scott Walkers prayershave been answered.

The governor says he has been prayingand would run for president of the UnitedStates if he felt called to the task.

Next week, the governor will be amonga half-dozen or more potential presidentialcandidates attending a major conservativeevent in Iowa. Thats the state which will

be rst in 2016 to select delegates to the Re-publican national nominating convention.Others scheduled to attend the Jan. 24

session, according to early news accounts,are New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen.Ted Cruz of Texas, outgoing Texas Gov.Rick Perry, former Arkansas Gov. MikeHuckabee and former Sen. Rick Santorumof Pennsylvania.

The list probably will grow. Equallyimportant, the event, hosted by Rep. SteveKing, should attract a bevy of national po-litical journalists. Reading their accountswill be the wealthy donors needed for asuccessful campaign.

Walkers talk of prayers and callingcould be attractive to religious conserva-tives in Iowa. The other candidates may

just seem to be ambitious. Part of Walkerspresidential hopes include making himappear different than the other conserva-tives. Theyll all be angry at Obamacare,taxation and Democrats in general.

Among the political hurdles Walkerfaces is being a college dropout, lack ofany history of dealing with a partisanopposition, and the lack of national orforeign affairs experience. But charismacan overcome those things, especially ifhe were selected to be the vice-presidentialcandidate.

Walker seems a favorite at the Wall

Street Journal. It recently ran a two-column picture of him with a story aboutRepublican governors attempting to re-shape social welfare policy. The governorwants to require drug testing for Wiscon-sin citizens applying for food stamps orunemployment compensation.

The idea isnt new, the article noted. Atlast 10 states have approved drug-testing

for those applying for certain benets.Most testing programs require applicantsfor benefits to fill out a written ques-

tionnaire that includesquestions designed todetermine if they are athigh risk for drug use.If so, they must take andpass a urine test.

Children of those whofail the test might be ableto get assistance, but itprobably would have to beoverseen by someone else.

T h e U . S . D e p a r t -ment of Agriculture hasblocked a Georgia screen-ing requirement for those

seeking food stamps. The federal govern-ment oversees the nations food stampprograms. Other drug testing plans alsohave faced legal challenges.

Maine passed drug testing require-ments in 2011, but its legality is beingdebated by ofcials, according to the WallStreet Journal. Last year, the Republicangovernor of North Carolina vetoed aplan, saying it was too costly and legallychallenging.

A federal appeals court recently struckdown a 2011 Florida law that requireddrug screening for those seeking aid from

a program for needy families. The courtsaid the law was unconstitutional and thestate hadnt proved recipients had moredrug problems than the general public.

Wisconsin might provide a different le-gal picture if the eventual legal challengeto Walkers idea (assuming it is passed bythe Legislature) is reviewed by U.S. JudgeRudolph Randa, a Reagan appointee on

the bench in eastern Wisconsin. He hasbeen viewed as a friend of conservativemeasures.

On the other hand, the WashingtonPosts Wonkblog called Walkers idea oneof the 11 worst of 2014. It said his ideawasnt new, was legally questionable,costly, and catches few drug users.

Higher speeds? Why not leave earlier? Page 2 - Tribune Record Gleaner - Wednesday, January 21, 2015 OPINION

Life was simple -- what happened

Wisconsin Republican legislatorsare about to try agin to increase thespeed limit on some state highways to70 mph. They have an alternative -- passa law requiring everyone to leave fortheir destination 15 minutes early sothey dont need to drive so %@?! fast.

It is true that Wisconsin is one ofonly 12 states in the country that haveyet to up their speed limits from 65mph. In fact, 16 states -- all of thembut one (Maine) to our west -- havenotched the top posted speed at 75mph. Is that alone reason, however, toincrease Wisconsin highway speeds,especially since the Department ofTransportation has been recordingsuch remarkable strides in reducingtrafc fatalities?

In October 2013, the Assembly-con-trolled Assembly then in place voted61-32 in favor of bumping Wisconsinspeeds to 70 mph on certain statehighways, ones deemed safe enough tohandle it by the DOT. Politics got in theway that time, setting the speed bumpthat would slow the legislation beforeit got a vote in the Senate. AlthoughRepublicans also controlled the stateSenate at the time, it was not thoughtby Capitol leaders that enough votescould be had in the upper chamber topass the bill.

Now, Republicans have an even rm-er control on the Senate, and that is en-ticing lawmakers to try again. Assem-bly Speaker Robin Vos, (R-Rochester)said he wants the higher speed limitbill to be passed this session. Theresno question the Assembly would passanother version, butsome Senate Republi-

cans still seem to beholding out, waiting,supposedly, to see ifsafety data indicates ahigher limit would not

cause more crashes.Both sides of the issue will likely be

able to produce studies that supporttheir stance. Some contend that somany people are already pushing pastthe 65-mph speed limit, that increasingit to 70 would bring more trafc upto the same velocity, thus enhancingsafety. We have trouble with that argu-ment; its like saying some drunks areon the road at .18 percent blood alcohollevel, so wed better raise the states .08percent legal limit so all the drunks areequally deadly.

Its just common sense -- physics, too-- that speed kills. Hit something at 70mph instead of 65 and youll see.

Weve seen little argument for theincreased speed other than that Wis-consin (along with Alaska, Oregonand Kentucky) is the only state west ofthe Eastern Seaboard still clinging tothe 65 mph limit. Why that in itself isbothersome, were not sure, but keepin mind, this state also has some of theworst winter weather driving condi-tions in the nation.

A final reason were not thrilledabout a higher speed limit is becauseof the speed creep we already see. Any-one who drives the states highwaysknows 65 mph does not mean 65 mph,but 70, or 75, or whatever that magicnumber is when police will actuallycollar a speeder. Any state legislatorwho thinks trafc is not already mov-ing along at 70 mph through the stateought to have his or her speedometerrechecked.

Oh, that thought about makingpeople leave earlierso they dont have to

speed. Thats a joke ofcourse, and will neverhappen. A speed limitincrease doesnt haveto either.

Editor:I had to comment on

the maybe Hillary andJeb (Bush) run. Oh, please,cant we get out of the in-ner circle, the establish-ment? Lets stop electing politicians.They go to Washington and occupy seats,some seemingly forever. They are heav-ily funded by big donors who back bothparties. Cer tainly, in this vast country wehave new, fresh candidates. Im readingOne Nation by Dr. Ben Carson, who mayrun. Inspiring.

A good Senator, Dr. Tom Coburn is

leaving due to health issues. He put outa Washington waste report. He will bemissed.

Mainstream media is complicit -- al-most a 4th branch of government -- fund-

ed by mega-corporationsand banksters. They dontwant the truth known. Aformer TV president oncesaid, Our job is to give thepeople not what they want,

but what we decide they should hear.The breaking-news press just loves thedemonstrations and violence. There areactivists who are paid (well) to go aroundthe country, wherever they are needed, toinstigate riots. Disgusting.

However, when something real hap-pens, all is quiet. Awhile ago, tens ofthousands of motorcyclists went to Wash-

ington to support our wounded veterans.Did anyone see it on TV? Same thing whentens of t housands of nurses converged.Silence.

We have to get real news elsewhere. TheInternet is good, but there is so much thatits hard to distinguish fact from ction. Iget my news from shortwave, publications(American Free Press) and newsletters.

I grew up with no TV or telephone. Weworked hard, helped our neighbors andlived peaceably. Life was so s imple. Whathappened?

There is an old saying about records be-ing set to be broken. Well, that may be true,but Im not so sure I like being a part of it.Last nite, the television weatherman toldus that it is the second coldest January onrecord here. Then someone told me that lastyear was the coldest.

The only response I had was, Whoopee,what else is new! However, as I write this,

things are looking up. We are expected tohave normal temperatures by the weekend.All this goes to prove that some of us like

to complain. Too wet, too dry, too hot, andso on. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, wecame here to get away from the ice and snow.Last winter I fell on the ice. This winter itwas the rst wet snow we had that causedme to nd myself laying on the ground al-most before I realized I was slipping.

On the plus side, I am happy to havebrought my winter coat and secondly we areoverjoyed to have a great view of the Gulf ofMexico right from our living room window.It doesnt get much better than that.

One of the views we have been watchingis a sight that every little boy would think islike a dream come true. For the last week orso, three members of the Port Aransas citycrew have been busy hauling sand. One hasan end loader and the other two have dumptrucks. They pick up the sand along thedunes and haul it to the waters edge. Thereit is dumped and when high tide comesalong it gets washed back into the ocean.

It reminded me of our great grandsonHoyt and all his toy trucks and loader play-ing in the sand box. Do you suppose thesemen get paid for playing in the sand?

I mentioned all the different types oflodging available to tourists who come toPort Aransas. Things like motels, hotels,condominiums and the like. The other op-tion is the RV parks. There are numerousparks here, and all seem to be nearly full.

A few are rather rustic and I wouldsuspect that sherman park there, as theyspend most of the time on the water andthe rest sleeping.

There is one park which I would describeas huge, with many of the people using golfcarts to get from their lot to the ofce orrecreation room.

Another park, built a few years after westarted coming here, is designed for theRV owner to purchase their lot. The askingprice for those lots runs close to $100,000 andthen the landscaping is at the RV ownersexpense. Judging from the size and look ofsome of the RVs, I guess a few thousanddollars for bushes, special paving bricks and

ower gardens is a small matter.

Speaking of fishing, there has beena rather unusual sight several days thisweek. It is called, sh dont bite with anorth wind.

One of the favorite parking places formany winter Texans is Robert Park, whichis just that. A big park, but also with a large

parking lot where you can sit and watchships go by, the city marina and the Inter-Coastal waterway. At one end you can alsosit next to the ferry landing and watch aspeople wait their turn, then load on theferry and head to the mainland.

As you drive into the park, you go rightpast the marina where sherman launchtheir boats. Right next door is a hugeparking lot for the sherman to park theirpickup trucks and boat trailers while theyare out on the water.

There has got to be space for at least150 trucks and trailers and under normalconditions it is pretty well occupied. I would

judge that in the summer it is lled to capac-ity on a normal day.

On a number of occasions this year wehave driven by and there is not a singletruck or trailer parked.

Just because we are in Texas doesntmean I have lost contact with things athome. The Jan. 7 TRG just arrived Tues-day and I have the Internet to keep tab onsome of the state news. A shocking itemappeared shortly after our state Legislaturewent into session. Someone has introduceda bill which called for an increase in theper diem our legislators draw for being inMadison. They want an increase from $88per day to $138.

Wouldnt you think they would have atleast waited until they had done some workto help schools and local governments copewith nancial problems before trying toline their own pockets.

There is a law that says elected ofcialscannot raise their own pay in ofce, but theper diem is not considered pay, so they canslip this one by the taxpayers. Worst of all,the bill was introduced by a Republican,someone who likes to pass himself of f asbeing a conservative.

Our grandson, Will, has found a way toescape the cold. He is attending the MedicalSociety of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Duringhis Christmas break, he went to Belize to dosome volunteer work. I wasnt sure whereBelize was, so I looked it up on the Internet.Why didnt someone tell me it had once beenBritish Honduras?

COMING EVENTS

presented byTF-20049

While some might take offense at thecomment, Zifko indicated it was tough

but good-natured ribbing from a respectedleader -- and still potent, years later.That sticks with me, Zifko said.

When Im at work and feeling lazy, thatcomes back to my mind. He embodies lead-ing. He was the voice for our company -- hewas always looking out for us, always hada positive attitude, even if it didnt alwayscome across that way.

Olson was described as a straight talker,particularly if blunt language helped hissquad, platoon or company.

Part of being a good leader is being a

good follower, Ashbeck said, and partof being a good follower was occasion-

ally having the candor to say, Sir, thatsa stupid idea. He did that whenever hefelt he needed to, in his own diplomatickind of way.

Olson also stepped up when needed.Michael Dosland, who commanded the1st Battalion, 128th Infantry Regimentduring that deployment, recalled seeingOlson take charge of his platoon duringa mobilization training exercise at CampShelby, Mississippi.

Todd was a little nervous -- I dontknow if it was because I was there or

if it was because he was being put inthe platoon leader role, Dosland said.

Based on what Pete said, Todd probablywasnt nervous about being in the platoonleadership role -- he was accustomed tostepping up and taking that. One thing Itook away from that day was I knew wehad a capable NCO in Todd because theother NCOs followed him and the soldiersreadily followed him. He had the trust ofthose soldiers.

That observation ultimately led Do-sland to select Company C to operate outof a patrol base near Samarra, Iraq, about30 minutes north of Forward OperatingBase ORyan where the battalion head-quarters and Company A were located.

We had a variety of criteria, and both[Alpha and Charlie] companies stackedup equal except for one thing -- the NCOcorps, Dosland explained. We knewthat Samarra was going to be a signi-

cant mission for Charlie Company, andprobably the most dangerous missionthe battalion had. We knew it was goingto be a small-unit ght -- it was going tobe squad-level, platoon-level operationsfor the entire duration. When you get tosquad-level and platoon-level, youve gotto have good NCOs. We felt the NCO corpsfor Charlie Company was just a little moreexperienced.

I dont want to take anything awayfrom the leadership of Charlie or the lead-ership of Alpha, but it came down to theNCO corps, and Todd was an importantmember of that NCO corps, Doslandcontinued. So we chose Charlie Companyto go to Samarra.

The day Olson was wounded was thesame day the 1st Battalion, 128th InfantryRegiment ofcially took over its missionat FOB ORyan.

That night I get a call -- weve got ourrst casualty, Dosland recalled. That isnot supposed to happen on your rst day.

A few days after his death, the patrolbase near Samarra was renamed PatrolBase Olson.

His loss had a galvanizing effect onthe unit, Ashbeck recalled. The build-ing that we lived in bore his name -- it waskind of like he was watching over us. We

became more focused, our missions tookon more meaning.

His death sent a shock through ourbattalion, Dosland added. It brought ev-eryone together -- it brought everybodysgame up a little.

Brig. Gen. Mark Anderson, deputy ad- jutant general for Army, was the 32nd Bri-gade deputy commander 10 years ago, andrelated the difculty of going to the Olsonfamily twice to inform them that Staff Sgt.Olson had been seriously wounded, andthen that he had died.

Everything that has been spokenabout Todd tells me what a phenomenalman he was, what a phenomenal son, fa-ther, husband, Anderson said. We talkabout having a legacy. I think, to a person,we all hope we leave an impression onthe world. I can tell you, Todds legacylives on in the men and women standingin uniform.

You are always family members ofthe Wisconsin Army National Guard,Anderson said to the Olson family. Youare always a part of the 32nd InfantryBrigade Combat Team. Todds legacy isbefore us, but real ly, Todds legacy liveson in the men and women wearing the RedArrow on their shoulder.

Nancy Olson, Staff Sgt. Olsons widow,said she could see her husbands legacy inher children.

You see Todd in them every day, in thethings they do and say, she said. Theway my sons take care of their childrenand get involved in their communities andsupport others is denitely part of whoTodd was also. We denitely feel the loss.Todd was the foundation of our family.

Trevor Olson, Todd and Nancys oldestson, shared the last conversation he hadwith his father -- and in doing so summedup his fathers character.

The last talk I had with my father, wewere talking about love, Trevor said. Hesaid, Trevor, you know when youre reallyin love? I was bafed by that question. Iwas 16 years old -- I didnt know what tosay. [He said] Anything in this world thatyou love, you will put before yourself,whether it is your wife, your country, yourfamily and friends.

Consider the

guard changedStep aside Neillsville and Owen-Withee -- a new teamhas taken charge in Eastern Cloverbelt Conferencegirls basketball.

With a 37-31 victory on Jan. 16 to complete a onceunheard-of season sweep over long-time conferencestalwart Neillsville, the Loyal Greyhounds establishedthemselves as the team-to-beat in the ECC. The Grey-hounds also beat perennial contender Owen-Withee onthe Blackhawks court on Jan. 13, and carry a 2-gamelead into the ECC seasons second half.

Loyal showed from the rst game of this league sea-son that they would have a say in who rules the ECCthis year. It stopped Neillsvilles long conference win-

ning streak with a 44-31win over the Warriorsin Loyal on Nov. 21. Toprove it was legitimate,

Loyal had to turn thesame trick on the War-riors floor, and it didlast week.

It wasnt a particu-larly pretty offensiveperformance in Neills-ville, but it seldom isagainst Neillsvilles ha-rassing defense. Loyalmade only four of its 21short-range field-goalattempts, but managedto sink ve of 13 triesfrom behind the 3-pointline. That netted theGreyhounds just a 27

percent shooting night.A dominant second quarter was still enough for

Loyal to take control of the game. After leading 9-7

after one period, Loyals 10-2 run in the second put itahead 19-9 at halftime. It stretched the lead to 29-18 afterthree periods.

A 14-5 advantage from the free-throw line was a keyfactor in the win. Missy Benz was repeatedly fouled inthe paint, but she responded with an 8-9 night at thefree-throw line. The team hit 14 of 20.

Neillsville shot 34 percent (12-35) from the eld andwas 5-9 at the free-throw line.

Benz led Loyal with 12 points and ve rebounds.Morgan Reinwand had a 9-point game, Karsyn Ruethgrabbed ve rebounds, and Devyn Schoonover had threesteals and two blocked shots.

Mindy Schoengarth led Neillsville with 10 points.Loyal 60 Alma Center Lincoln 21

The Greyhounds followed up their win over Neills-ville with a non-conference rout on Jan. 19. Loyal led16-5 after a quarter and 39-15 at halftime on its way topushing its overall season record to 11-2.

Loyal guard Devyn Schoonover swipes for the ball during a Jan. 8 Eastern Cloverbelt Conference home win overGreenwood. Schoonover and her Greyhound teammates completed a season sweep over habitual conferencechampion Neillsville with a 37-31 win on Jan. 16, and now carries a 2-game lead in the ECC standings.

Benz (13 points), Schoonover (11) and Rueth (10)all scored in double gures for the Greyhounds. Benzwent 7-8 from the line. Morgan Reinwand had a 7-point,6-rebound, 3-steal game. Jaedyn Pieper had four steals.

Loyal shot 36 percent (22-61) on the night and madeve of 14 tries on 3-pointers. The team was 11-14 at thefree-throw line.

After getting past Neillsville and Owen-Withee inthe past week, the Greyhounds will now have an easierstretch of games in the league. It is set to play Gilman,Columbus, Spencer, Colby, Granton and Greenwood overthe next three weeks before completing the ECC seasonwith a Feb. 16 re-match at home against Owen-Withee.

If the Greyhounds retain their lead atop the ECCafter that stretch, they would play in the CloverbeltConference championship game on Feb. 21 against thewinner of the Western Cloverbelt Conference. That

game is to be played at Neillsville.Owen-Withee 85 Spencer 46

After losing to Loyal on Jan. 13, Owen-Withee took itsfrustrations out on Spencer three nights later, knockingdown 34 eld goals and 15 free throws on its way to ablow-out win.

Spencer had a decent offensive night, hitting 37 per-cent (19-52) of its total shots and going 4-7 from 3-pointrange. The Rockets didnt help themselves at the foulline, making just four of 12.

Kallie Reckner scored 15 points for Spencer and LexiBaehr hit all three of the 3-point shots she took to nishwith 13 points.

Whitney Baehr had a career game for the Black-hawks, hitting 15 of 24 eld-goal tries for a 36-pointoutburst. Three other Blackhawks scored at least 13.

First BeaverHello friends,On Christmas Eve my stepson, Joey Dushek, calls me up and says he just

found some very active beaver sign and wants to know if I would show himhow to make some beaver sets (trap sets) as he had a strong desire to catch hisrst beaver. I tell Joey, lets wait, come up with a bunch of 330 bodygrip t rapsand do this in a couple of weeks and besides, its Christmas!

Enter our good buddy Jody Bigalke. Jody is a very active trapper, has lotsof gear, and likes teaching kids how to hunt, shoot carp, sh and trap (majorKAMO one on one mentor). Jody basically takes charge of the entire opera-tion and here is the story.

Saturday, Jan. 10 -- high 14, low minus 16Joey Dushek is 21, took his trapper education class last year, works on a

cranberry marsh in western Juneau County and since he caught his rst foxtwo weeks ago, is totally addicted to trapping. Today, Jody, Joey, and myselfspent a full day exploring a couple thousand acres of forest, marsh and wa-terways and basically worked very hard.

The rst place that we made our sets was one of ve that Joey had been do-

ing some very serious scouting at. The layout was a maybe 200-acre reservoirwith the vast majority of the shoreline made up of mature pine and oak forest.Beaver like most wildlife, love recent logging jobs and the reason is always

the same and that is because, deer, grouse and beaver nd abundant food toconsume in the aspen that appears the following spring and for many yearsto come (grouse eat the buds).

In our case there were not many beaver as there was not much food, butall Jody or myself cared about was getting Joey his rst beaver and teachinghim how to trap beaver.

Our rst set was on what you could literally call an underwater beaver trail.Beaver like muskrat, swim on trails, generally at the bottom of the waterwaythey are swimming once ice has formed. Depending on the age of the watersystem, these trails could be decades old and always create a shallow path (hardbottom) where the beaver swim and their bodies push silt and sand to the side.

The ice was only two inches thick over the beaver highways and so we hadto be careful.

Jody Bigalke taught Joey at our rst set that in a deep run it is best to settwo, body grip traps, with one positioned over the other in case the beaver are

swimming a bit above the bottom. Long story short, at days end we had sevensets for beaver and the following day Jody taught Joey how to make two setsfor muskrat and that rst day of checking traps yielded no fur.

Space is always an issue in telling this story but hard work, cold hands,incredible wildlife sign (bobcat, wolf, coyote and deer) are a large part of the

adventure called beaver trapping.Wednesday, Jan. 14 -- high 21, low minus 12Jody could not make trap checking today and most of our work was done in

the dark as Joey worked until 4:30. Our experience was none short of incred-ible, Joeys rst set was a baited set under the ice and no beaver. The next setwas a trail on the bottom of the reservoir and that is where Joey caught hisrst beaver after some ice chopping and trap pulling. Joeys third set heldhis second beaver; his fourth held his rst muskrat and his fth another rat.

All of our work is being done with a spotlight and our adventure is becom-ing a classic.

Set number six was a trail leading to a hut. Above the ice was ample bobcatand coyote sign. When we pulled this bodygrip it held what looked like a smallbear and now Joey had a beaver to make a blanket out of. I do not know whatthis trophy weighed but I believe 60 pounds is a good guess.

During this entire experience we were talking about biology and how manyanimals to safely harvest without over harvesting.

As I said our sets were scattered and our second to last was made for beaverbut held Joeys third rat and set number nine held another beaver which meantseven out of nine held fur.

Joey is pulling the traps the next time he checks them and I think it is safeto say a couple of old timers taught him a trick or two on how to trap beaverunder the ice.

Enjoy the adventure! Sunset

$2,900 from the Russell Memorial Parksale, will go into a fund used for repairingand maintaining the countys dams.

-- The $2,100 from the Snyder Park salewill go into a fund used to acquire morecounty forestland, to help replace landtaken out for the sale.

Also, because the county park land be-ing sold was originally developed usingFederal Land and Water ConservationFund (FLWCF) money, by law the countymust replace it with other public recre-ation lands in the county.

A 35-acre slice of land north of BlackRiver Park formerly used by the countyshighway department qualies for conver-sion to public park lands, the resolutionstates. First, though, the county mustsubmit a conversion application to theWisconsin DNR and National Park Servicefor approval.

If approved, the Black River RecreationArea would be maintained in a semi-developed state, to be used primarily forfishing, hunting, swimming and canoe

access to the Black River, the resolutionstates.

An existing driveway off of CTH Xwould be developed into a parking area toprovide greater access.

Rick Dailey, the countys forestry andparks administrator, said people arealready free to use the land off of CTHX for outdoor activities, even though ithas not yet been ofcially designated arecreation area.

Dailey said he expects the new designa-tion to be approved by the DNR and thePark Service by next fall.

Besides improvements to the parkingarea, Dailey said no amenities or otherwork is planned for the recreation area atthis time. Once it is designated, though,he said the 35 acres will be preservedand protected indenitely for outdoorrecreation.

Right now it could be sold to someoneelse and the public would lose the outdoorrecreation opportunities that are there,he said.

So they want a little of my knowledge, do they?(Ive been largely bogged down with the

u over the last week or so, and while it istrue that I couldve written something newwhile alternatively wishing to either die orbe ushed out with a re hose, I still wasntsure if my words could be contagious. Alas,a little (Oh, hush) something from 2008.)

A most perplexing question was posedto me the other day: Which of these greatmen would you choose to have dinner with?A.) Ben Franklin B.) Martin Luther KingJr. C.) Jonas Salk D.) Theodore Roosevelt.

Given that Marilyn Monroe was neithera great man (but what a woman) nor oneof the choices, I had to give this somethought -- would I like to eat three poundsof peel-and-eat shrimp with one of our

founding fathers, grab a burger with a manso in uential that they close the post of cein his name on the third January Monday,hit an all-u-can-choke-down pizza buffetwith the guy who hog-tied the polio virus,or do a Friday night sh fry with the blokewho charged up San Juan Hill and later ledthis nation into a new century? Boy, that'stough. Are you sure that Mr. Greenjeansfrom the Captain Kangaroo show couldn'tbe a fth option?

Anyway, to put this into some context,I'll explain that I received this query -- andseven more of equal consternation -- in themail. It came from a so-called national his-toric organization that publishes a magazineit wants me to buy and says I am among "aselect group of readers" from Wisconsin toparticipate in an important survey. By "se-lect group of readers," of course, it means"any putz who'll send us the $24 for a year'ssubscription," but hey, nobody these days

is knocking down my door for my opinionon much of anything. Geez, you're convictedonce of lying to a federal grand jury and rightaway nobody believes you anymore.

The second question was: Which historicalsite would you most like to visit: A.) The GreatWall of China B.) Pyramids C.) The WailingWall D.) Grand Canyon

This was an easy one for me to pick, as I'venot been a big fan of walls since crashing mybike and my face into one when I was 9, andas for the Grand Canyon, heck, that could bethe creek that runs through my woods in an-other trillion years. But, wow, those pyramids,those are marvels of human ingenuity and anexample of intricate engineering in the daysbefore Etch-O-Sketches. They do have beergardens and water parks there, too, don't they?

Question #3, I hate to say, is beyond myknowledge base, but then again, so is addi-tion, on most days. Here it is: What's yourfavorite period in art history? A.) Impres-sionism B.) Surrealism C.) Art Nouveau D.)Post Modernism.

Besides Art Nouveau (my Little Leaguebaseball coach, I think) I really didn't recog-nize any of the choices, so I penciled in " ngerpainting" as my favorite art period. Man, youshould'a saw the green and blue dinosaur Isplattered on paper in 1971.

The fourth question was of a technicalvariety: Which invention has most in uencedmodern times? A.) Airplane B.) Television C.)Automobile D.) Computer.

This is a real toughie, because each of thesewonders of technology has had a profound im-pact on life on this planet. I based my responseon my own personal experience, immediatelyeliminating "airplane" because I've been onone fewer times than I've used a George For-

man grill, and I'd hardly rate that as the mostin uential device in the world. I reluctantlyscratched off "automobile," thinking that wecan always ride pigs if we need to, and that leftme with the TV and the computer. In the end ,

I had to go with television, because SesameStreet has played a far greater role in my lifethan the Pentium processor. To each our own.

Next was, Which explorer would you havemost liked to accompany: A.) Lewis andClark B.) Marco Polo C.) Neil ArmstrongD.) Columbus. I picked "C" easily, becauseLewis and Clark had mosquitoes and no Off,Marco Polo made great territorial conquestsbut was mean to puppies, and Columbus, wellhe just missed his mark by a thousand milesand told the King of Spain upon his return,"I'm not sure, but I think I saw a sign that said,'Cleveland.'" Neil Armstrong, now there wasa great explorer. He's the guy who rst drankTang, right?

Question #6: Which of the following wouldyou say is the most historic U.S. city? A.)Philadelphia B.) Williamsburg C.) Washing-ton, D.C. D.) Gettysburg.

Well, sure, all of those places were scenesof great moments in American history, but

for my money, I have to go with theCapitol city. The other three choicesare ne, but their days have past,while in Washington, history contin-ues to be made each and every day.Just think about it, with The Bushand Cheney 3-Ring Bigtop in of cefor another year, who knows (orwants to know) what could happenthere tomorrow.

For question #7, we turn to iconicimages: Which of the followingmost symbolizes America? A.) TheAmerican Flag B.) Constitution C.)

Statue of Liberty D.) The Liberty Bell.I'm going with the Grand Ol' Flag on this

one, for two reasons 1.) It's the colorful andloved fabric of the nation for which thou-

sands of men and women sacri ced theirlives in war, and 2.) I called the people whosent me the survey and they said I would beineligible for the bonus drawing to win oneof 50 digital cameras if I put "Bullwinkle" asmy answer. Gee, Rocky, that stinks.

Finally, I was asked, If you had the op-portunity to live the life of a RevolutionaryWar hero, who would it be?: A.) BenjaminFranklin B.) Thomas Jefferson C.) Paul Re-vere D.) George Washington.

Frankly, if I had the opportunity to livethe life of a Revolutionary War hero, Iwouldn't. As I understand the era, they allwore white wigs and full-length stockings,and to me, catching British Army musketballs with my abdomen doesn't sound likeall that much fun.

Well, that's it. Time to mail in my surveyresponse. I'll bet they'll think twice next timebefore they send me something that says,"Your knowledge can help us."
