Airplane crash near Owen kills Michigan pastor

CLARK COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT PHOTO

Wreckage from a small airplane crash northeast of Owen in the town of Hoard rests in a grove of pine trees Mondayafter the plane attempted an emergency landing. Three passengers were onboard the plane and one of them --identified as a Baptist minister from Boon, Mich., -- died at the scene.

One person was killed and two others injured lateMonday morning when a small airplane crashed into agrove of trees along a field northeast of Owen in the townof Hoard. Investigators say freezing rain was a factor inbringing down the aircraft, which had circled the areaand tried to land on a rural road.

The person killed in the crash has been identifiedas Rev. Martin Siegwart, 56, pastor of the Boon BaptistChurch in Boon, Mich. His son, 27-year-old Mark Sieg-wart of Hammond, Ind., was piloting the plane. Thethird passenger was 41-year-old Nathan Smoot of NorthPole, Alaska.

The Clark County Sheriffs Department received itsfirst 911 call regarding the downed aircraft at 10:43 Mon-day morning.One of the first two calls the Clark Countydispatch center received was from the planes pilot, whoreported that he and another passenger were OK, butthey could not find a third passenger.

The Sheriffs Department said the plane was havingwing icing problems and the pilot circled the area look-ing for a place to land. He eventually tried to bring theplane down on Center Road, east of Cardinal Avenuein the town of Hoard, but a wing of the plane hookeda tree along the north shoulder of the road and caused

the plane to spin into the ditch and crash into a groveof pine trees.The Sheriffs Department said Tuesday that Mark

Siegwart and Smoot were friends, and were flying the re-cently purchased Cessna airplane from Hammond, Ind.,to Alaska. On the way, they stopped to pick up MartinSiegwart to accompany them on the trip. Martin Sieg-wart was in the rear seat of the plane when it came down.

The Federal Aviation Administration is assisting theClark County Sheriffs Department in its investigationinto the crash. The Owen-Withee-Curtiss Fire & Ambu-lance Service and the Spirit ground ambulance unit alsoresponded to the scene.

School accountability took center stageat a public listening session in AbbotsfordMonday, as Rep. Bob Kulp (R-Stratford)faced questions on how a new bill he co-sponsored would affect funding for localpublic schools.

Many of those questions came fromBob Houts, superintendent of the Owen-Withee School District, who said his dis-trict stands to lose $50,000 in state fundingthat would be redirected to charter schoolselsewhere in Wisconsin.

As proposed, AB1 would convert fail-ing public schools into charter schools fi-nanced by the state using money deductedfrom school districts across the state. Itspart of a Republican-led effort to providemore state support for private and charterschools so parents have more alternatives

to public schools.Houts said if lawmakers goal is to have

a voucher in every backpack, it will cost$980 million just to pay for the 98,000 stu-dents already attending private schools.

If it doesnt come out of state aid forpublic schools, where does it come from?he asked. I dont see $980 million of ex-cess in our budget.

On the other hand, Kulp also heardfrom O-W district resident, Holly Strick-land, who urged Kulp not to reallocatestate funds back toward public schools,as some have suggested. Strickland saidshe and her husband homeschooled theirchildren for good reason -- to keep themout of public schools.

They have wasted so much taxpayermoney, she said. Please, from ourperspective, do not restore that taxpayermoney to them.

Kulp defended Wisconsins publicschools, but said his family decided to

homeschool their seven children to giveeach of them more individualized atten-tion they wouldnt get in public schools.

While he believes Wisconsin has verygood public schools, Kulp said he isalso philosophically in favor of givingfamilies an opportunity to educate theirchildren as they see fit.

I think that parents and children arebest suited to make those choices, he said.

In response to Houts funding concerns,Kulp questioned if that was taking intoaccount the whole equation of publicfunding for private schools. He said afive-year university student showed thatMilwaukees school choice program savedthe state $300 million.

Still, Houts said theres a disparitybetween how much the state will pay for

private school vouchers ($7,200 per stu-dent) and how much a public school gets

($6,600) when it accepts a new studentthrough open enrollment.

Why is a public school kids choiceworth less than a private school kid mak-ing a choice? he said.

Houts also noted the relative scarcityof private schools in this part of the state,compared to urban and suburban areas,and said area students dont have the samechoice opportunities.

Its just a different school system that,realistically, our kids cant tap into,Houtssaid

The issue of accountability for privateschools accepting public money was alsoraised.

Group calling for less community policing

MattPommer

Members of the TRG editorialBoard include Publishers Kris

OLeary and Kevin Flink,Editor Dean Lesar, and

Carol OLeary.

A protest group wants to end commu-nity policing in Madison to help cut in halfthe number of poor and black people whoget arrested. Its a local spin growing outof incidents across the nation betweenpolice and black citizens.

The group, called the Young, Gifted andBlack Coalition, said police have becomean occupying force in neighborhoods ofminority residents.

The relationship we desire to havewith the police is simple: no interaction,the group said in an open letter.

Our people need opportunities forself-determination, not policing, thegroup added.

Madison Police Chief Mike Koval, whois white, blistered the criticism, defendinghis officers who participate in communitypolicing to improve the quality of lifein the neighborhoods and create betterrelationships. Drugs and guns are majorissues. Community policing efforts allowofficers to help, rather than just focus onmaking arrests.

People in our neighborhoods rely onour assistance and hope that our influencewill make these challenged neighborhoodssafer, Koval responded.

Are you really advocating the police

abdicate our responsibilities to thesefolks? he asked rhetorically.Unsaid was that older citizens in the

challenged neighborhoods may not agreewith the idea of removing officers fromtheir streets and playgrounds. Koval saidhe hears from neighborhood residentswho like the added presence of his officers.

Community policing is growing inAmerica. In Madison, it is a decentral-ized approach in which officers work withother city departments to help provideservices to challenged neighborhoods.

Incidents between police and African-American residents in Missouri and NewYork City have triggered protest activitiesin many areas, including Madison. Thedemonstrations have included rallies atCity Hall and people laying down in shop-ping malls. The group also has opposedexpanding the Dane County Jail, sayingthe $8 million should be used to help poorpeople.

Koval said it was time for the protestorsto look a lot closer at issues besetting our

people of color and stoppandering to the blamegame of throwing my de-partment to the wolves.

The chief said the Wis-consin Legislature couldmake changes in lawsthat would reduce anyracial bias in law enforce-ment. Possible changesinclude ending the prac-tice of trying 17-year-oldsas adults, using restor-ative justice courts tokeep people from quickly

ending up in the state justice system, andchanging drug possession laws.

Its doubtful elected state officials

would tackle that agenda. They could facecriticism in the media that they are softon crime.

Last April, 65 percent of Dane Countyvoters said yes to an advisory ballotquestion on whether the state shouldlegalize marijuana. But the issue haslots of twists and turns. In December,the Dane County board rejected a federalgrant from the Cannabis Enforcementand Suppression Effort program. In pre-vious years, the county had received tensof thousands of dollars from the federal

program.The grant provides money to fight

heroin, other drugs and gun traffic. Super-visors who opposed accepting the moneysaid they wanted to send a signal aboutracial disparity in drug-related arrests.

The drug issues have attracted moreattention with a substantial increase inthe number of heroin deaths. In 2013,Dane County saw a 350 percent increase inheroin deaths -- the majority were whitecitizens.

Turning down federal money to makea point is familiar to Wisconsin citizens.Gov. Scott Walker has rejected hundredsof millions of federal dollars to expandMedicaid, saying he doubted the federalgovernment could continue the program.

In Spencer, still trains but no noisePage 2 - Tribune Record Gleaner - Wednesday, January 28, 2015 OPINION

Congressman to governor: Dontpass right to work legislation

I hear the train a comin, its roll-ing round the bend ...

Thats a little Folsom Prison Blues

from Johnny Cash in the 1960s, incase you didnt recognize it, and itseems an apropos tune these days in,of all places, Spencer Wis. See, you

just may not hear the train a cominin the village anymore after some-time this summer, when an officialrailroad quiet zone takes effect.Sure, you may still feel it rumble,and youll certainly catch a glimpseas more than three dozen trains sailthrough town every day, but thoseloud train whistles that have so longannoyed village residents -- no more.

The coming quiet zone -- alreadygiven approval by necessary agen-cies and just waiting for the villageto complete a few railroad crossingsafety improvements -- will exemptthe village from requirements thattell conductors they must soundtheir horns every time they come toa place where tracks meet street. InSpencer, that means the whistle mustsound four times -- at Willow Drive,Clark Street, Main Street, and N. LaSalle Street -- for every single trainthat passes through. At 40 trains perday, thats 160 whistles, at any timeof day or night.

Through the efforts of Spencernative Tom Schafer (who now holds avillage board seat) and village admin-istrator/clerk/treasurer ThaddeusKubisiak, the village has jumpedthrough the hoops required to qual-ify for a quiet zonedesignation, such asMarshfield has. To

get the designation,the village had to con-duct traffic counts atits crossings, agree

to make certain street upgrades toimprove safety, and follow an ap-plication process. While the actual

street work (to close Main Street tothrough traffic so it does not meet thetracks any longer and to add a medianstrip to N. LaSalle Street) wont bedone until summer weather allows,the necessary approvals are alreadygiven. It is expected the quiet zonewill take effect by early July.

Train whistles are blown for onereason, of course, to let motorists/pedestrians know a massive machinethat cant stop quickly is comingthrough. They really should notbe necessary, though, when properstreet crossing signals are in placeand functioning, and motorists obeythem. If the crossing arm is down,if the bells are ringing, motoristsmust stop, if they can see -- or hear-- a train or not. Spencers crossingsignals have been improved in recentyears, and should be more than ad-equate to stop traffic, with or withouta loud whistle. To add more safety,though, the quiet zone designationmeans trains will have to slow to 35mph in the village; now they can goas fast as 60.

With the decreased train speedsand the improved crossings, its dif-ficult to imagine that the quiet zonewill be anything but a gain for thevillage. There is no reason for a mo-torist or pedestrian to be on or nearthe tracks when a train is approach-ing, as the guards/bells activate well

before their arrival.If it takes a whistleto alert someone,

theyve obviously notbeen paying atten-tion anyway.

U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) offered adetailed case against harmful Rightto Work legislation, in a letter sent toWisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Kindhas been urging the governor to expressconcrete opposition to Right to Worklaws and pledge to veto any proposedlegislation.

Gov. Walker needs to clarify wherehe stands on Right to Work instead ofgiving Wisconsinites more generalities,said Kind. Gov. Walker has called Right

to Work a distraction, but in reality itsa direct attack on Wisconsins workingfamilies. I urge the governor to focus on

creating jobs in Wisconsin instead of pur-suing a divisive agenda that puts workingfamilies further behind.

In the letter to Walker, Kind cites anEconomic Policy Institute report whichfound that RTW laws lower wages forunion and non-union workers by anaverage of $1 ,500 a year and decreasethe likelihood employees will get healthinsurance or pensions through their jobs.By lowering compensation, they have theindirect effect of undermining consumer

spending, which threatens economicgrowth. For every $1 million in wage cutsto workers, $850,000 less is spent in theeconomy, which translates into a loss ofsix jobs.

It is a rainy day in South Texas, a goodday to get at another column. The rain iswelcome here, as the reservoirs, whereCorpus Christi and Port Aransas get theirwater, are only 31 percent filled.

We did have several days of nice weatherwith the temperature hitting 79 on Tues-day. Here on the island, next to the Gulfof Mexico, it stayed in the 60s as the watertemperature is only 52.

As you might guess, the price of gas isbig news here. When we bought gas lastweek it was $1.86. I heard this week thatit was down to $1.82, more than a dollar agallon lower than it was a year ago.

The low price is creating some discus-sion about possible layoffs in the industry.One company, based in Houston, is reportedready to lay off 9,000 workers.

Another company, Weatherford, has ap-parently laid off 100 in nearby Alice, Tex.Weatherford was started here in Texasmany years ago, but is now headquarteredin Switzerland. They operate in 100 coun-tries and have more than 60,000 workers.

Related to the gas and oil business is thesand mining going on in Wisconsin. Accord-ing to an article I read on the Internet from

the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, there isnta lot of concern now. There might be a slowdown, but there still remains a demand forthe special sand, which is found here in Wis-consin and several other midwest states.

The article stated that about two-thirdsof the sand used is Wisconsin sand. Thatmight explain some interesting figures.There are currently 63 sand mines in thestate, 45 processing plants and 27 rail load-ing locations. Five years ago there were fivemines and five processing plants.

The big story to watch in the comingmonths will be the Keystone pipeline,proposed to bring Canadian crude oildown here to the Gulf Coast for refining.The big objection comes from people inNebraska who are protesting that the pro-posed pipeline might be a danger for their

environment. A recent spill in Montanaand another in North Dakota might helptheir cause.

I dont understand why it is necessaryto bring it all the way down here to refine.Why not build the refineries in Canadaand then distribute the refined products tomarkets in the midwest and other regionsof the country. Or is it as I have read? Noneof the oil would be sold here, but sold to in-

ternational markets. If that is the case, thenI would also object to having the pipeline inmy backyard, as it would be doing nothingto help the U.S. economy.

A recent story, appearing in many Wis-consin newspapers, is the one released bythe Department of Transportation. It isone of those good news, bad news stories.

For the first time in many years the total

highway deaths in the state have droppedbelow 500 for the year. That is the goodnews.

The bad news is that there are still toomany. After reading the story, I had to checkout a Wisconsin highway map. The report-ed death toll for the year was 487. That isjust four less than the total population ofthe village of Withee. Think about it. Anentire community gone, mostly becauseof accidents, most of which could havebeen avoided.

It is as the old joke goes that I read manyyears ago. Most accidents happen becauseof the nut that holds the wheel.

Do you ever watch human nature in ac-tion? On the way down, we had stopped ata rest stop just after entering Oklahoma.The rest stop is only a few years old and

was certainly needed. However, the designof the structure and the grounds dont meetthe actions of humans.

Several large walkways lead from theparking lot to the welcome center. One leadsto the front door and the other walk leadsto the side doors of the rest rooms, whichare open 24 hours a day. The center is onlyopen from 8 to 5.

I had stopped, not so much to use the restroom, but to get a new highway map. My oldcopy had disappeared from my map holderin my driver side door.

As we have found in Oklahoma before,the coffee pot is on all the time. So aftergetting my new map I helped myself to acup of coffee and took another out to thecar for Florence.

As we sat drinking the coffee, we beganto watch human nature in action. In fact, we

even started to count. We wanted to knowhow many people would use the nice newsidewalks and how many cut across thebrand new lawn.

I dont recall the exact score, but it wassomething like seven out of 10 who took ashort cut across the lawn. I would guessthat if a crossover was built, the majoritywouldnt use it either, but simply walkacross the brand new lawn.

MADISON -- To continue protectingWisconsins pork industry from thespread of a deadly, communicable virusamong pigs, Dr. Paul McGraw, state vet-erinarian at the Wisconsin Departmentof Agriculture, Trade and ConsumerProtection (DATCP) is reissuing a ban

on the spring pig weigh-ins that usuallytake place in preparation for Wisconsinsnumerous county fairs. McGraw alsorecommends only terminal swine showsbe held given the concerns regarding thespread of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea vi-rus (PEDv), Porcine Reproductive Respi-ratory Syndrome (PRRS), and influenza.

The precautions we took last yearhelped keep our infection rates down inWisconsin, so I want to make sure thatcontinues, McGraw said. For example,Wisconsin has had seven known positivecases of PEDv since the virus was firstfound in the U.S. pig population in 2013.Only two cases have been reported sincethe mandatory reporting requirementwent into effect in June, 2014. Mean-while, industry analysts estimate morethan eight million swine nationwide

have died from PEDv alone in the sametime period.

Banning spring weigh-ins is a crucialstep toward minimizing the effect of

PEDv, PRRS and influenza on Wisconsinpork producers. In addition, McGrawstill recommends that fairs hold termi-nal shows, where pigs go to slaughterafter the show. It is completely up to thecounties to develop plans locally withlocker plants and slaughter facilities to

make this work for them.We have a very active fair seasonhere in Wisconsin, so its importantthat we take all the disease transmissionrisks into consideration -- this is not justabout PEDv, McGraw says. The onlysafe way to control these diseases is toensure that the pigs comingled at fairsand shows are sent directly to slaughter.

Swine farmers are encouraged to useproper biosecurity methods, includingwashing trucks and trailers betweenloads, washing boots and clothing,and establishing a line of separationbetween clean and dirty areas. The Na-tional Pork Board has developed a widevariety of biosecurity information thatis free and available at www.pork.org.

details, such as reporting and evaluationrequirements.Were getting together to talk about

the goals of the grant and the roles andresponsibilities of each of the players,said Brenda Scheurer of CVTC, statewideproject manager for the grant.

The ACT grants are part of the fourthround of grants made through the TradeAdjustment Act, which is designed toretrain workers displaced due to foreigncompetition. Wisconsin technical collegeshave also benefitted from the three previ-ous rounds of grants, dating back to 2011.The latest round is designed to prepare

workers for careers in healthcare fields,with each technical college district usingtheir funds in ways that best fit the needsof their area.

CVTC will use part of a $928,423 al-location from the grant to enhance theprograms that serve as gateways for theNursing-Associate Degree program. Theenhancements will involve the additionsof staff and class sections to accommodatemore students. But there are as manyideas around the states as there are techni-cal college districts.

Our focus is going to be on geriatrics.Were going to hire a full-time geriatricsinstructor, said Lorraine Zoromski,dean of health at Northcentral TechnicalCollege in Wausau. This will help getoff the ground our geriatrics specialistprogram.

Zoromski added that the grant willallow the college to offer certificates in

dementia and palliative care and advancedcertificates in nursing and allied health.We will also be purchasing a mobile

lab to serve the rural parts of our districtthat are underserved, Zoromski said.

Wisconsin Indianhead Technical Col-lege in Rice Lake is going in a similardirection. Were developing a gerontol-ogy associate degree program, said MaryAnn Pebler (title). Were anticipatingserving about 60 students over threeyears.

The focus at Waukesha County Techni-cal College will be on keeping students ontrack in existing healthcare programs.

CVTC meeting focuses on $20 million awarded in SeptemberThis grant has given us a wonderfulopportunity for student retention, saidDean of Health Sandy Stearns.

Counselors, tutors and faculty advisorswill be working together on the efforts.Were going to be helping students withlife issues to get them to stay in school,Stearns added.

The smallest share of the grant money,$735,111, is going to Southwest WisconsinTechnical College in Fennimore. Directorof Institutional Planning Barb Tuckernoted that many of their Medical LabTechnician graduates were being hiredoutside the health fields, to work at dairyor waste treatment plants. As a result,the college will be offering a one-year labtechnician diploma to meet the needs ofemployers.

We hope to serve 75 people, Tuckersaid.

All of the colleges will be partneringwith other organizations, such as localhealthcare providers and the WisconsinDepartment of Workforce Development ondevelopment of programs and identifica-tion of students to be served.

Also as part of the grant, CVTC willreceive an allocation to enhance simula-tion learning and technology in health-care programs in all 16 WTCS colleges.Specifically, the funds will further the useof augmented reality technology that willincrease the ways in which students caninteract with the simulation equipment.A demonstration of the technology and itsuses was part of the meeting. CVTC alsoutilizes grant funds for administrationand evaluation services.

Ill be doing site visits to each of thecolleges to help them reach their goals,Scheurer said.

20056

school principal from Port Washington now living inColby, said his school had to compete for public vouchermoney against private schools in Milwaukee later foundto be embezzling money and offering ridiculous pro-grams.

If youre going to give money to some kid to go to aschool thats teaching something like basket-weaving,thats really bad, he said. Theres got to be more ac-countability.

Kulp said the proposed legislation is trying to ensureaccountability from all schools receiving taxpayer money,but lawmakers are trying to balance that against privateschools desire for independence.

Cheryl Schoening of Owen questioned why therewould be different standardized tests allowed for privateschools, as proposed in the State Senates accountabilitybill.

Houts explained that public schools are required by

state and federal law to have their students take theSmarter Balanced tests, which aligns with the controver-sial Common Core standards, while private schools couldbe allowed to choose another test under the proposal.

If youre going to have accountability for public dol-lars, then I think it has to be on the same playing field,Houts said. It has to be the same assessment.

Kulp addressed concerns about the Common Corestandards, and said they are not meant to usurp localschool districts abilities to choose their own curricu-lums.

Theres nothing innately evil about Common Core,he said.

Houts, however, said public schools are bound to Com-mon Core at this point because their Smarter Balancedtests are aligned to those standards.

When it comes to AB1 and the Senates companion bill,Kulp said he believes his colleagues truly have the best

interests of students and parents at heart as they searchfor compromises. A public hearing on AB1 a couple weeksago raised important issues, Kulp said, which resulted ina lot of changes being made since it was first introduced.

It has changed enough that, at this point, my name isstill on it but I will be looking at it carefully prior to a vote,knowing that it is, frankly, in a state of flux, Kulp said.

Other issues-- On the issue of proposed right to work legislation

that would allow private sector workers to opt out of pay-ing union dues, Kulp said he supports such a law and doesnot believe it would affect very many people in Wisconsin.

-- When questioned about the constitutional amend-ment to change how the supreme court chief justice ischosen, Kulp said he believes the issue was given ampletime between the end of last session and the start of thissession for lawmakers to debate it. He voted in favor ofallowing the justices to elect their chief, and the proposedamendment will now go to a statewide referendum.

-- When asked about raising the minimum wage, Kulpquestioned whether it would have the impact that sup-porters say it would but seemed open to considering a

two-tiered system for adults and minors in the workplace.However, he also said his roofing company offers doublethe minimum wage and still has a hard time finding goodemployees.

There are plenty of jobs available, he said. Its amyth to say theres not.

-- In regard to the next state budget and transportationfunding in particular, Kulp said hed like to look at waysof cutting costs on road projects, such as tweaking theprevailing wage standards for contractors or removingthe state patrol from the Department of Transportationbudget.

As far as raising more revenue for roads, he thinks anincrease in the gas tax is most fair, and he questionedhow much it would cost to administer any new or ex-panded taxes or fees.

Id love to see no tax, but we have services that wewant, he said. How are we going to pay for them?

Rockets hold off Greenwood to stay unbeaten in ECC

DEAN LESAR/STAFF PHOTO

Greenwoods Sam Revier prevents Spencer guard Nate Mercier from passing intothe lane during the Rockets 59-50 victory in Spencer on Jan. 23. The Rockets built a

16-point lead in the second quarter and kept a double-digit edge most of the rest ofthe way to improve to 8-0 in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference.

Just about the timeGreenwood seemed poised

to make a run at Spencerslead in a Jan. 23 EasternCloverbelt Conferenceboys basketball game,Rocket guard Bobby Pilzstarted to heat up. Hit-ting a trio of 3-pointersin a 2-minutes span in thethird period, Pilz helpedSpencer turn a lead thathad shrunk to nine pointsback to a 16-point bulgethat the Indians would notseriously dent again untilthe games final minute.

Pilz had a 23-point nightfor Spencer, but needed 20shots from the field to getthem. He was 5-12 on thenight on 3-pointers, but was having trouble

with his range until the third-period. It wasjust the time when Spencer needed him.

Spencer opened up a 15-6 first-periodlead and stretched it to 25-9 late in the sec-ond quarter on Mitchell Susas 3-pointerfrom the corner. Greenwood gained somemomentum before the half, closing the sec-ond period on a 7-2 run powered by BookerBredlaus 3-point play and short jumper.

Greenwood got the lead into single dig-its early in the second half when LoganJohnson picked up a steal and converted

for a basket. Ryan Busseanswered for Spencer with

a baseline drive and score,but Greenwood was ag-gressive on offense andBredlau quickly hit an-other jumper.

Thats when Pilz tookover. He hit a wide-open3-pointer from the leftwing with 6:50 to go in thequarter to push the Rocketlead back to 32-20. Bredlauscored again in transitionfor Greenwood, but Rocketcenter Miles Weber scoredon consecutive Spencerpossessions. Bredlau hittwo free throws to cut thelead back to 36-24 with 5:55to go in the quarter, only

to see Pilz put down another 3-pointer.

Johnson followed with two free throws forGreenwood, but Pilz hit his third 3-pointerat the 4:56 mark to put the lead at 42-26.

Sam Revier hit a 3-pointer for Green-wood. Pilz nullified that with his fourthtrey of the quarter, and Susa followed witha score in the paint. Dylan North closed outthe quarter with a 3-point play and thentwo more free throws, but Spencer still led49-34 with eight minutes to play.

The teams traded scores for much ofthe fourth quarter and the Rockets denied

the Indians any chancesto cut the lead to less than14, until late in the game.Spencer led 59-43 with 1:30to go, with Greenwood end-ing the game on a 7-0 runincluding two 3-pointersfrom Bredlau.

S p e n c e r h i t e i g h t3-pointers in the game,including five by Pilz andthree by Susa. The Rocketsattempted 21 shots frombeyond the arc. In additionto the 23 points from Pilz,Spencer got 11 from Susa,nine from Calvin Lenz andeight from Weber.

Bredlau led Greenwoodwith 20 points. Johnsonscored eight and Revierand North scored sixapiece.

Neillsville 59Loyal 42

A large disparity at the

free-throw line kept Loyal from making aserious upset bid against one of the ECCstop teams on Jan. 23.

Neillsville got 22 attempts from theline compared to only three for Loyal. TheGreyhounds where whistled for 17 fouls inthe game while Neillsville was called onlyeight times.

Neillsville converted 13 of its 22 freethrows into points, while Loyal was 3-3.Loyal did manage to bury seven -3-pointerson 17 attempts, but Neillsville hit six of itsown on 16 tries.

Cameron Brussow led Loyal with 18points. Tyler Prust scored 11 points andRiley Geiger added nine.

Spencer 51 Abbotsford 43The Rockets improved their overall

season record to 11-1 with an 8-point non-conference win at Abbotsford on Jan. 26.The Rockets were not at their best fromlong range, hitting only four of 18 3-pointattempts, but they were able to get enoughpoints inside. The Spencer defense hadeight steals and forced Abbotsford into 15turnovers. The Rockets were solid with theball with only seven turnovers.

Susa scored 13 points to pace Spencer.Nate Mercier had a 10-point, 8-assist game,Pilz scored nine points, and Weber addedeight.

How ironic: Reporters-butchers rank the sameDo you like your job? Good, then quit,so I can have it. Oh, and make sure you

clean out your desk. Ill bring my ownpaper clips.

Ha, just kidding, really, I love my job,except for the rotten hours, embarrass-ing compensation, non-existent benefits,and, dont forget, the lack of morning andafternoon milk breaks. Ive been in mypresent occupation for 23 years now, andif something doesnt change soon, I maynever get out. Oh, well, theres plenty ofspace in the basement for my casket, but,please, put the lid on tight. I think theresmice down there.

I suppose my jobs not all that bad, espe-cially when you compare it to some othersout there. I mean, I could be a slaughter-

house floor worker, knee-deep in guts allday, or a plumber, keeping other peoplestoilets working. On the other hand, my jobsnot as great as the guy who gets to drive richpeople around in a limousine all day, or asglamorous as that dude who gets to cleanthe dead deer carcasses off the side of theroad. Man, lucky fella he is -- works withanimals, gets to see the countryside, sets hisown hours, and even gets some fresh meatnow and again. Ah, if only Id set my sightshigher when I was a young un ...

Journalism, as it turns out, is not a greatgig, at least not according to the rankingsof 200 occupations released this week bythe good people at CareerCast.com. Newsreporter ranked 184th best of the 200 listedjobs, right there above stevedore, the guy

who loads and unloads ships. Really? Allmy education, all my years of developingprofessional sources, all my concern for

fairly and accurately reporting the main issuesof the day, and I rank right down there withthe high school dropout who pushes palletsof potatoes out of a cargo hold? Yeesh. Goodthing Im taking all those pills. I might getdepressed.

For those of you who havent seen theCareerCast.com list, it ranks 200 occupationson the basis of five factors -- working envi-ronment, income, the odds of getting hired inthe field, physical demands, and stress. Imthinking it probably also figured in the pos-sibility of working with puppies on a dailybasis, but I dont know that for sure. But Isure do love puppies.

A news reporters job is seen to have arelatively decent working environment anda low physical demand. Obviously, the sur-

vey did not take into account that we haveto carry with us heavy news notebooks andpens, nor that we sometimes must walk fromour desks to the office refrigerator upwards ofsix times a day. As for income potential, letsjust say if you like wealth, youve come tothe wrong door. The stress level is perceivedas relatively high (covering those Cub ScoutPinewood Derbies can be murder) and thehiring outlook is about the same as that ofMorse code operator.

Yeah, I guess 184th sounds about right.Incidentally, the profession of an actuary

is seen as the best out there in 2010. Yup, theguy who pushes the pencil to figure out howmuch insurance companies must charge inorder to turn a profit is The Man, ranking highin where he works, how much he makes, how

little stress he faces and how easy it is for himto find a job. And, Ill just bet, actuaries keeppuppies in their office breakrooms.

Other top 10 jobs on the list are softwareengineer, computer systems analyst, biologist,historian, mathematician, paralegal assistant,statistician, accountant and dental hygienist.I can agree with all of those, except dental

hygienist, because, in my mind, anybodywho runs the risk of sticking their fingers inmy mouth for an hour at a time aint got thatgreat of a job.

On the bottom end, a roustabout -- the guywho performs maintenance chores on offshoreoil rigs -- has the most reason on Mondaymornings to hit the snooze button. His pay isOK, but hes working in a hostile, dangerousplace with great physical exertion and stress,and there is not that much need for a roust-about these days. And as for finding puppieson an offshore oil rig, well, forgetta about it.

The other worst 10 jobs are lumberjack,iron worker, dairy farmer, welder, garbagecollector, taxi driver, construction worker,meter reader and mail carrier. Butcher camein at 190th, but as I see it, anyone who gets

to take home a pocketful of bacon ends hasntgot it all that bad.

Im not especially pleased with my profes-

sions poor showing on the rankings,especially when it comes in threespots below choreographer. Whatthis survey is telling me is that thedude who coordinates the dancenumbers at the local theatre is higherup the career food chain than me.Harumph.

A nuclear decontamination engi-neer (165th) even comes in higher,but you cant tell me that his workenvironment is cleaner than mine(although I havent vacuumed myoffice carpet since 1997). Even a

dishwasher (156th) is in a better place thanme, as is a dressmaker (152nd), a child careworker (143rd), and a maid (131st). Aw,man, I knew I should have paid more atten-

tion in home ec class.An undertaker (134th) outranks me in job

status, as does a vending machine repairman(122nd), a sewage plant operator (117th), apiano tuner (109th), a clergyman (96th), ajanitor (83rd) and a tax collector (82nd). Youknow, I can accept ranking below a regis-tered nurse (100th) or an architect (86th), butwhen you put me 102 ranking spots belowa tax collector, Im hurt. It doesnt make itmuch easier when I could have been betteroff as a forklift operator (67th) or a museumcurator (51st) than I am now, but at least Ioutrank the firefighter (188th). Yeah, I dontget paid much, but at least Im not likely tobe incinerated on an average day.

And I can accept the fact that Im lowlierthan the railroad conductor (123rd), because

Im happy with what I am. And, as far asranking behind the veterinarian (90th), Imtellin ya, its all about puppies.
