Plans to develop an agribusiness park in Owen are
still proceeding full steam ahead, according to economic
authorities in Clark County and the city of Owen.
Tim Swiggum, president of the Community Development Authority in Owen, is optimistic that its only a
short matter of time until businesses are ready to pull
the switch on building in the park.
We are getting more and more inquires about the
land, Swiggum said.
The long and drawn out economic downturn didnt
help, but we are finally starting to see the results of
improvement, he said. Weve already worked with a
couple of businesses and are still going forward with
the project.
The proposal for a futuristic agribusiness park involves a 71 acre parcel of land south of STH 29 near the
Clark County Health Care Center. The city of Owen
acquired it from Clark County in 2006.
According to Sheila Nyberg, executive director for
the Clark County Economic Development and Business
Corporation (CCEDC), an additional 84 acres of county
land further to the south are also available for future
expansion.
Swiggum said water and sewer utilities have been
installed, but no electric so far. That will be determined
by the direction set forth by the first business or businesses to locate there.
Numerous businesses have expressed an interest in
locating in the ag park, including testing labs, factories,
veterinarians, production facilities, and other agricul-

Greenwood, Loyal start talks on joint utility district

services. Loyal installed a new lift station and an underground pipe to send its wastewater flow to Greenwoods
plant, and pays Greenwood to reduce the strength of its
sewage to where it can be discharged -- along with Greenwoods -- to the Black River system.
Loyal City Clerk Shannon Toufar said Loyal sends
Greenwood a check averaging between $20,000-$30,000
each month, based on volume. The volume varies each
month based on rain, snow melt, etc. Loyal charges its
households $8.48 per 1,000 gallons of wastewater they
generate. Of that total, $6.78 is sent to Greenwood, while
Loyal keeps the rest to maintain its underground pipes,
lift stations, etc.
According to Kurt Muchow, a community development
consultant with Vierbicher Associates, Reedsburg, creating a utility district would probably not lead to reduced
sewer bills for residents in either town, but could save
operational costs by eliminating duplication in the two
towns. Essentially, the underground infrastructure in
Loyal and the treatment plant and infrastructure in
Greenwood would become part of one operational entity,
22-169628
Since late 2007, the city of Loyal has pumped its wastewater to Greenwoods wastewater treatment facility, and
sent a monthly check to cover the service. Now the two
communities are beginning to talk about establishing
a possible joint utility district that would give them an
equal footing in the business of treating residential and
industrial sewage before it is discharged into the Black
River.
Greenwood and Loyal city officials engaged in a farranging, 75-minute discussion of utility district options
on May 27, and each City Council later this month will
appoint representatives to a joint study committee. One
of that groupss first tasks will be to delve into a cost/
benefit analysis of merging the two cities wastewater
systems into one entity, a move that a consultant said
last week will likely make financial sense.
Loyal has essentially been a customer of Greenwood
over the past eight years. Rather than invest heavily into
a new wastewater treatment plant of its own when the
state Department of Natural Resources said it needed
an upgrade, Loyal turned to Greenwood for treatment
which would make sense from a management aspect.

There are a lot of benefits for everybody. There is an
economy of scale, Muchow said. I think if that (cost/
benefit analysis) is done, its going to show there is a
benefit financially.
A major step in creating a utility district would be to
establish values for each citys current systems. Greenwood owns a multi-million dollar treatment plant, so its
current investment is considerably higher. Loyals systems value exists in its collection pipes, lift stations, etc.
Muchow said, in his experience, some of the most difficult conversations between entities in establishing a
utility district is the present value of infrastructure, and
then a negotiation on how much money one community
might have to pay to offset the others investment and
start on an equal basis.
One of the biggest obstacles Ive found is whats the
value of the existing systems, Muchow said.
The two towns would also have to have considerable

Wanted: Better rural mail delivery

The National Newspaper Association
has again called for measurement of ontime delivery of rural mail.
Appearing in a May 19 roundtable
hosted by the Senate Committee on
Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs, NNA Chief Executive Officer
and General Counsel Tonda F. Rush said
Congress should follow the maxim that
what gets measured gets done. If the
U.S. Postal Service is required to report
on the quality of rural mail delivery,
trouble spots of late mail service will be
identified and can be addressed.
NNAs postal concerns also were being
represented at the National Postal Forum
by Postal Committee Chair Max Heath
and Interlink President Brad Hill, who
serve on the Mailers Technical Advisory
Committee.
Heath said senior postal executives
invited discussion on ways to improve
rural mail delivery. USPS has publicly
recognized NNAs petition for Service
Hubs as the kick-starter for establishment of these new cross-docking platforms for some newspaper mail and mail
entered by other mailers in sites where
mail processing plants used to be. There
are currently 46 hubs in operation. A
total of 212 are expected by July 2015.
NNA President John Edgecombe Jr.,
publisher of The Nebraska Signal in
Geneva, Neb., said an alarming deterioration in rural mail service was being
reported across the country.
The Postal Service took a radical
step when it began closing down the processing operations in smaller cities and
moved them to the heart of urban America. Travel distances increased, traffic
problems hampered the movement of
postal trucks and the windows for accepting and processing mail began to shrink.
It should surprise no one that people in
small towns are getting their mail later.
Readers of community newspapers have

been particularly harmed by the changes.
So, NNA is taking every possible step to
get USPS to address the problems created
by these closings, he said.
Rush explained to the Senate committee that although USPS regularly reports
on how well it achieves its service standards, the information is heavily weighted toward urban mail. Even so, USPS
reported serious deterioration during the
first quarter of 2015 for First-Class Mail
that should have been delivered within
three days. In many cities, the standard
was achieved less than 60 percent of the
time. The Postal Service has blamed bad
weather across the U.S.
Sen. Jon Tester, D-MT, expressed his
concern about a slowdown in service in
his state.
There was bad weather in the Northeast but in Montana, we were in shirt
sleeves. There is always going to be bad
weather somewhere, he said.
I think people in business will tell
you it is always less expensive to keep a
customer than to get a new one, Rush
said. The best place for the Postal Service to begin is to stop driving away the
mail volume it already has. It has cut all
the costs it can afford to cut. At this point,
Congress is our only hope.
NNA has asked Congress to move
quickly on a bill that will relieve financial pressure on USPS by changing the
requirement for prepayment of retiree
health benefits. NNA also supports a proposal by postal worker groups to permit
USPS to invest its funds in conservative
private equities instead of only in the
U.S. Treasury. The Thrift Savings Plan
that provides retirement benefits for
federal workers currently has limited
private equity investment authority and
is expected to provide a model for USPS
investments.
Protect the flag and our way of life

Editor:
On Memorial Day, we
had a chance to honor
loved ones who served
our country as we walked
through a sea of American
flags on their graves. Land of the free
because of the brave. However, Ive been
hearing troubling stories about the love of
our country -- or lack of it -- and our flag.
Some colleges have removed the flag so
as not to offend some students. Then,
some subdivisions around the country
have asked veterans to please take down
the flag for fear of offending the neighbors. Really? Then, in some schools,
grade school kids who come to class with
a T-shirt with the American flag on it are
asked to turn it inside out, or go home and
change, to not offend some students.
Owen
New plan could further hinder public schools

The Republican-controlled state government is putting a controversial twist on
sending financial help to private schools.
Public school districts will be forced to
help pay for the education of children
from their district who go to independent
voucher and charter schools.
Sharp criticism from public school advocates followed approval of the concept
by the Legislatures budget committee. It
was part of legislation to expand voucher
and charter school education.
Heather DuBois Bourenane of the Wisconsin Public Education Network said it
amounts to a laundering scheme that essentially siphons tax dollars directly into
private schools through expansion of the
voucher program that Wisconsin citizens
so clearly oppose.
Others noted that out-of-state proponents of expanding private schools with
taxpayer dollars have been major contributors to gubernatorial and legislative
elections.
It must have felt like Christmas morning for Wisconsin advocates for taxpayer
funding of private school vouchers, said
John Forster, director of government
relations for the School Administrators
Alliance.
Clearly this is the best education
budget that millions of dollars in largely
out-of-state political contributions can
buy, he said. We will not stand by while
elected leaders dismantle public education
in our state.
State Sen. Leah Vukmir, R-Wauwatosa,
captured the Republican tone of response
to the public school criticism: We want to
invest in our schools to set up our students
for success.
Betsy Kippers, president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council
(WEAC), assailed the provisions of the
Republican school-financing efforts. At

the same time theyre at the front door of
the school house boasting putting money
inside, theyre sending money out the back
door to subsidize private schools, she said
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers said diverting money
from public schools to private schools
will impact public school education in
Wisconsin. He noted the state has been a
national leader in high school education,
Advancement Placement courses and
ACT scores.
The budget plan adopted by the committee evades the basic foundation of
Wisconsins public school system. If
we want all students to
achieve, we cannot continue to ask our public
schools to do more with
less, Evers said.
Evers noted the committee plan provides no
increase in school district revenue limits, even
though money may be
diverted toward private
education. Others noted
Matt
be more difficult
Pommer ittomight
pass school referenda
if voters understand that
higher property taxes could be financing
the assistance for charter and private
schools. That could be an added benefit for
Tea Party folks who oppose taxes.
The new budget approach strikes at the
state constitutional obligation to educate
all students in local public schools, Evers
noted.
State Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, chairman of the Senate Education Committee,
said provisions diverting taxpayer money
to private schools will make it more difficult to run public school systems.
Really?
Darn it, this is America.
Our flag represents many
sacrifices and our Constitution (currently under
attack) is our law of the
land. I dont care where you come from.
Most of us are products of immigrants.
My grandparents came from Finland 100
years ago, not able to speak a word of
English. But they learned, became good
citizens of our country and passed on
their stories. So, to the recent implants,
why did you come? Are you going to take
an active part in becoming American
citizens, or are you fighting our system?
If you dont like our laws, the door opens
out, too. What other country is there that
would allow this onslaught?
Folks, weve been sleeping. Some in
Washington want to change and even
eliminate the Constitution, while others
are changing our American history books.
Its time we hold Washington accountable,
and vote out career politicians. We just
have to stand up and say no and do the
right thing.
Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.
Esther Niedzwiecki
Gov. Scott Walker has championed the

expansion of non-public education, contending it will help children in Wisconsin.
The Joint Finance Committee action came
on a 12-4 party-line vote. The talk of public
school supporters politically opposing the
Republican education program may be
wishful thinking.
Earlier in May, Common Cause in Wisconsin cited statistics from the 2014 general election that showed only 10 percent
of the legislative districts are competitive
between the two parties. The districts were
created by Republicans following the 2010
election and will be in place through the
2020 elections. Democrats may get more
votes in legislative elections, but the gerrymandering assures GOP control.

kind of laid low, as the next day we would

be off to Holmen, where Sue and her husband, Mark, were planning and preparing
for a huge birthday party for me.
I keep getting confused by the candles
on the cake. They read 58, but a year ago
they read 48. Either I aged 10 years in the
past year, or someone was messing with
the candles.
Just about the whole family was there
to help with the celebration, including
grandson captain/doctor, or is it doctor/
captain, Will, who by the time you read
this will be seeking a place to live in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Sunday was a bit more restful, with

only a graduation party to attend after
church. It was in honor of Mariah Elmer,
whose mom, who I have mentioned before,
grew up at Pipe Lake a little more than
a mile as the crow flies from our house.
Her grandparents farm adjoined ours
and they had a telephone and we didnt, so
we often were over there to a get a message
or call someone.
Monday was Memorial Day. I volunteered one year just to help out, but it
looks like it is becoming a little longer
duty. I am so proud of the community to
hear the same old story told over and over
again about the exchange of the old flag
from the veterans of the Civil War.
If there are any more adventures in
May Ill have to write about them next
week. The final one came last Wednesday
when I was scheduled for a CAT scan at
the Marshfield Clinic.
They wanted to check out the cancer
surgery done on one of my kidneys two
years ago. I had a hunch all was well, but
had to wait for the results on Wednesday
afternoon. I was right and informed that
Ill only need an X-ray just before heading
south for the winter next December.
There was one other thing that happened, but I dont know if you can call it
an adventure. Remember, I wrote a few
weeks ago about the Turtle Lake Community Scholarship Fund in its 50th year.
It had some humble beginnings back
then as a part of a Parent Teacher Organization (PTA). When the organization folded, for lack of interest, I suggested that
the scholarship fund which had just been
started, be continued, but as a community
affair. It did and thrived well. In our first
year we gave out three $100 scholarships.
This year we gave away 20 scholarships,
each in the amount of $500. As I said, it
wasnt really an adventure, but news of
its success surely made my day.
TF-20048
The calendar has changed to June

and the seasons just keep rolling along. I
thought there might be a bit of a break between corn planting and haying, but when
I saw whole fields of hay cut last week, I
decided times have changed. It used to be
fashionable to start haying right after the
Fourth of July. Now it seems we are at it
before Memorial Day.
Three adventures in May should have

been enough. But there was more -- and
then some.
On the Thursday before Memorial Day,
Florence and I decided to take a ride to the
cemetery and put flowers on my parents
graves as well as my brothers, Ernest and
Harold.
We might have made it in a rush, up
and back, but since we missed seeing
the Beckers at Turtle Lake at the class
reunion, we called and had lunch together
at the casino. Their wild rice soup was
calling.
After saying good bye to the Beckers,
we drove to the cemetery. An old neighbor,
Ed Freitag, who I grew up with, was there
mowing and we reminisced a bit. He has
been mowing the cemetery for 40 years. I
explained how I got talked into mowing it
for the first time in 1945. We had mowed a
bit around my brother Ernests grave in

Spencer fourth-grader Samantha Soback (left) picked a frozen treat that exactly
matched her face color after the Monday afternoon Color Walk on the school track.
Samantha and her schoolmates raised more than $1,500 for the Ngirwe family to buy
supplies for schools in Africa, and more than $1,100 for the local Spencer Kids Group.

Greenwood Legion dedicates new memorial to fallen soldiers
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
On May 25, as part of its Memorial Day

ceremonies, the Greenwood American
Legion Post 238 dedicated a new monument in memory of the military personnel
who never returned from the wars. These
veterans were in World War I, World War
II, and Vietnam.
Guest speaker for the event at the
Greenwood High School and Greenwood
Cemetery was Col. Raymond Boland,
retired. Col. Boland served 30 years in
the Wisconsin Army Guard and regular
Army forces. He served two tours of duty
in Vietnam where he commanded an attack helicopter unit in the 101st Airborne
Division. He further served as a brigade
commander in the 3rd Infantry Division
in Germany, and a battalion commander
in the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii.
His final assignment was garrison commander of Fort McCoy from 1988-91. Following his decorated military career, he
was appointed Secretary of Wisconsin
Retired Col. Ray Boland (left) helps the Greenwood Legion Post 238 dedicate a new
monument (at far right) to fallen soldiers on Memorial Day. The monument lists the
names of the local soldiers who died in World War I, World War II and Vietnam.

discussion on policies moving forward.

For example, when Greenwood does a
street improvement project, it automatically digs down and replaces sewer and
water lines. In Loyal, if the lines under a
street project are adequate, they are not
necessarily replaced.
You try to anticipate all those things,
Muchow said. Both communities are
going to have to adopt similar policies.
Muchow said the planning process is
smoother when both towns involved eye
the joint district as an eventual improvement that will benefit both parties.
What wed have to do is stop thinking
about Loyal and Greenwood as separate
entities. Theyd become one entity,
Muchow said. I think its really important that this not be us versus them. As
long as its done so both communities see
its a benefit to users, it shouldnt be something that cant be overcome.
Muchow said the first steps toward the
possible district would include the cost/
benefit analysis, which could entail an
evaluation of each towns current system.
Its important, he said, for each city to
know up front if there are any major fixes
needed to piping systems, etc.
You need to evaluate each systems
condition, he said. What issues are out
there, so its transparent.
Tim Froeba, chairman of the Loyal
Councils Utility Committee, said Loyal
already knows it will be making a major
investment in 2017 to replace all utility
lines running under Main Street, as part
of a Department of Transportation Highway 98 project. That work is expected to
cost Loyal more than $1 million, Froeba
ture related firms, such as ag insurance

agencies. Nyberg said CCEDC may also
be open to general industry in the park.
Something will happen, she said. We
are just looking for the right fit. These
things dont happen overnight.
Weve had a few nibbles, but any serious business action is at least a few months
off, she added.
Initially the area that is currently
slated for use as an agriculture park was
part of a much larger proposed concept
that would have included acreage on both
sides of STH 29. The concept included an
agricultural innovation center that would
have housed classrooms, exhibition areas,
kitchens, display areas, labs, incubator
space, a distance learning lab and offices
for lease.
CCEDCs website still states, The Center will link our agricultural past to our
agricultural future through innovations in
education, training, research and development. The Center will also be the hub for a
broad collaboration of resources between
agribusiness and education institutions.
Ultimately, the Center will strengthen
the regional economy, create new jobs in
agriculture and green technologies, and
train people for those careers.
A grant of $4 million from the U.S. Economic Development Authority of the U.S.
Department of Commerce was offered in
2009, but the CCEDC was unable to raise
the $5.8 million of matching funds needed
to finance the project within a time frame
of two years.
In more recent years, the overall plan
has been scaled back to the 74 core acres
until some businesses make a commitment
to the property.
The CCEDC was able to keep $180,000 of
the EDA grant for completing a design for
the agriculture innovation center, which
has been done.
Another possibility that was proposed
in early stages was that of developing a
permanent venue for Farm Technology
Days. Nyberg feels that the site would be
perfect. The acreage is available and the
possibility exists for permanent buildings
and facilities.
Swiggum also said a location in the
center of the state along a major highway
would be ideal being that it is at most a
four-hour drive from anywhere in Wisconsin.
At this point Farm Technology Days
is a travelling event, with locations on a
rotating basis, even though it does tend to
gravitate toward Central Wisconsin.
The offer still stands with Farm Tech-
nology Days and the ball is in their court,

Swiggum said.
The Technology Days committee came
out to look at the site a few years ago,
Swiggum said.
They agree with us that it is a great
site, but were unsure if they wanted to
go with a permanent venue at this time,
he said.
In the meantime, a large field with a
dirt road, several fire hydrants, and a semi
trailer used for signage is all that exists
of the agriculture park. It looks for the
most part like an ordinary corn field, so
its likely the first tenant to locate there
will be able to shape what the 158 acres will
look like for many years to come.
The city of Owen continues to make
efforts to publicize the propertys availability. According to Swiggum, the site
is currently listed online at land locator
web pages and a flyer about the project is
available for distribution.
Swiggum said that possibility of outsourcing to private development party is
conceivable if nobody steps forward.
The CDA and CCEDC will give the benefits of an improving economy a chance to
play out before taking any further action,
officials say.
The city of Owen purchased the land
with the understanding that it will eventually be paid back with taxes on the park.
Tax incentives for business that locate
in the park will be assigned based on the
economic boost they provide to the area
in terms of job creation.
The ag park site is also a part of the
City of Owens Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) district 4. This means the property taxes collected on any new development are placed in a special fund that is
used to pay for additional development or
improvements within the district.
Owens north side industrial park,
Countryside Estates residential community, Roehl Cold Storage, Quality Roasting,
38 acres of land on the north side of STH
29 are also part of the TIF district.
The TIF funds will pay for the work that
has been done so far on the ag park and
will also be available to pay for future improvements, such as streets and electricity.
For now, it is just a waiting game to see
who pulls the trigger first in making the
ag park home. The TIF fund doesnt sunset
until 2037, so time is still plentiful.
Nyberg and Swiggum are confident that
it wont be long before the inquiries turn
serious and some activity begins to occur
on the land.

In his address he stressed the importance of never forgetting those who perished in various wars; because of their
commitments we are a free nation. Young
people should also make an effort to be
leaders in the community and country,
because they will help preserve these
freedoms, he said.
At the cemetery each name on the

said, an expense that could make a utility

district formation more complicated.
We may not want to do this until
we have that street done, Froeba said.
Thats going to be a big expense to dump
on that utility district.
Greenwood treatment plant operator
Trent Johnson said Greenwood is aware
its plant is under watch by the DNR, to
meet more stringent phosphorus reduction levels in wastewater discharge.
Greenwoods plant is not new, he noted,
and will someday need an expensive
upgrade.
Even the new part is 20 years old,
Johnson said. Usually, thats the time you
start thinking about an upgrade. Weve
been sticking money into it for the last
four of five years. There is going to be a
time when we need a major overhaul.
Muchow said the process of establishing a utility district will take time and
numerous discussions between Loyal and
Greenwood on financial aspects, policies,
etc. The cost/benefit study could take
several months to complete, and the towns
could be looking at a $20,000 expense just
to determine if its wise to move forward.
If its eventually created, the joint district could serve both towns, Muchow said,
with each carrying equal responsibility
for operational and financial decisions.
The district could allow both Greenwood
and Loyal to limit sewer rate increases in
the future.
I wouldnt start out this process saying there are going to be reduced user
fees, Muchow said. You could say you
can avoid increases or the increases will
be less.
Band Thanks Community

The Loyal Senior High Band would like to thank the community for their new marching
band uniforms! We proudly wore them for the rst time at the Memorial Day Parade
and again for the Marsheld Dairyfest Parade on Saturday, May 30.
We spent a lot of time this past year looking at various designs, colors and materials
and we think weve come up with a very nice looking uniform to represent our
school and community!
It has been 25 years since the band has had new
marching uniforms! We appreciate that the school
had the foresight to put away a little money
every year earmarked for these uniforms.
We look forward to showing them off later this
summer at both the Athens Parade on Sunday,
Aug. 23, and at our home-town parade
in Loyal on Sunday, Aug. 30!!

Malm, Zastrow, King all multiple qualifiers for state track
CASEY KRAUTKRAMER/EDGAR RECORD REVIEW PHOTO
Loyal senior Morgan Malm battles Valley Christians Ryan Van Maanen (left) and others in a110-meter hurdle race at
the May 29 WIAA Division 3 sectional meet at Rosholt. Malm qualified for the state meet in the 110- and 300-meter
hurdle events.
Malms state meet double-qualifying performance
lifted the Loyal boys team to a fifth-place team standing.
Marathon was the sectional champion with 119 points,
followed by Wausau Newman (81), Rosholt (49), IolaScandinavia (46) and Loyal and Wild Rose, both at 38.
Malm won the 300-meter hurdle race in 39.76 seconds, a
new Loyal school record. Iola-Scandinavia senior Tanner
Krusa was second in 40.68 seconds.
In the 110-meter race, Malm (14.89 seconds) was edged
at the tape by Marathon senior Matt Matel (14.73).
Malm also had a chance to go to state in the high jump,
an event in which he placed sixth last year at La Crosse.
However, he was only able to clear 510 at Rosholt, which
landed him in sixth place. He needed to clear at least 6 feet
to move on. Almond-Bancroft senior Reegan Anderson
won the title at 62.
Logan Genteman grabbed a state berth in the 800-meter run, setting a new school record of 2:01.19 in so doing. That time landed him in fourth place, 3.37 seconds
ahead of fifth-place finisher Juan Landeros of Tri-County.
Marathon junior Xavier Lechleitner was the sectional

champ, in 1:56.97.
Junior Derrick Howard advanced to state in the triple
jump, with a fourth-place sectional leap of 40 4.25 inches.
That was 6.25 inches better than the fifth-place effort of
Port Edwards Austin Hildebrandt. Gresham-Bowler
senior Drew Payne won the event at 43 8. Howard also
competed in the long jump and 110-meter hurdles, placing
10th in each event.
For numerous other local athletes, the season ended
at Rosholt. Among those was Loyal senior Lane Meyer,
who narrowly missed a state spot in the 400-meter dash.
He made it to state a year ago and placed 10th, but this
year he was a scant seven-hundredths of a second off the
pace needed to qualify.
Other Loyal athletes who did not advance from sectionals were:
-- freshman Edrea Kubista, who placed eighth in the
200-meter dash and 10th in the qualifying heats of the
100-meter dash.

Spencers Rachel Zastrow will return to the state track

and field meet in La Crosse for a fourth straight year
with her eyes focused firmly on another state title in the
pole vault. Loyal senior Morgan Malm is also back and
gunning for a second state title in the 100-meter hurdles,
as well as a chance to claim a 300-meter state title that
narrowly eluded him in 2014.
Zastrow and Malm lead a strong group from Spencer
and Loyal who will compete in the WIAA Division 3 state
meet on June 5-6 at UW-La Crosse. Zastrow will run in the
two girls hurdle events as well as competing in the pole
vault, and her teammate, junior Nadia King, will run in
the 400-meter and 1600-meter race. Johanna Ellefson will
give the Rockets dual representation in the pole vault as
she also qualified for state, and the Spencer 1600-meter
relay team of Zastrow, King, Paige Lawrence and Liz
Endreas comes in to the state meet as a sectional champion. For the Spencer boys, sophomore Noah Zastrow
will compete in the state pole vault event for the second
year in a row.
Joining Malm for Loyal at the state meet will be senior
Logan Genteman, in the 800-meter run, and junior Derrick Howard, in the triple jump.
All the local athletes punched their tickets to the state
meet by finishing at least fourth at the May 29 sectional
meet in Rosholt.
Rachel Zastrow won the Rosholt pole vault competition
with a best effort of 10 feet, the best Division 3 qualifying
height in the state. Macy Klabunde of Tri-County was
second at 9 feet, and Ellefson finished third, also at 9 feet.
In the 110-meter hurdles, Zastrow placed second, finishing twelve-hundredths of a second behind rival Carly
Maves of Wausau Newman. Zastrow also took second
in the 300-meter hurdles. Her time of 47.95 seconds was
just behind the 47.18 posted by Edgar sophomore Macey
Wirkus.
Zastrow added a fourth event for her state meet schedule by running the third leg of the Spencer 1600-meter
relay team. It ran the course in 4:12.01 to edge Wausau
Newman (4:13.84) for the sectional title. Auburndale was
third in 4:14.42.
King also had a big day at the sectional, in addition to
running the first leg of the 1600-meter relay. She claimed a
sectional title in the 400-meter dash, with a time of 1:01.34.
Wausau Newman freshman Rylie Vaughn was second in
1:02.85. King then placed fourth in the 1600-meter run to
secure a state berth in that event. Her time was 5:34.23,
which was more than 19 seconds ahead of the fifth-place
finisher. Iola-Scandinavia freshman Erika Kisting won
the event in 5:18.83.
Zastrows and Kings multiple wins carried the Spencer girls team to a third-place finish at the sectional meet.
Wausau Newman won it with 98 points, Wild Rose scored
81 for second, and Spencer finished with 63. Rosholt was
next with 54 points.
For the Spencer boys team, Noah Zastrow again qualified in the pole vault for the state meet, where he placed
third in 2014. His height of 141 at Rosholt was an easy
winner, with Crivitz junior Tyler Slaby taking second
at 13 feet.

Get off the couch to change the channel? Huh?

to milk the cows.
I don't even remember when remote controls
came along. I have firm memories of flipping the
channel selection knob from one station to the
other, and on any channel that did not carry one
of the three network signals, you'd get the "cchhhhhsssshhh" sound of static and a million tiny black
and white electronic impulses jiggling on the picture
screen. Every now and then, if the weather was just
so, or maybe if Mars was aligned with Saturn, I don't
know, you'd get a faint image on one of the other
channels, and you'd somehow think that must be
the greatest television show ever. Then again, it may
have been The Devil trying to reach you through the
evil box in your living room, it's hard to say. Parents
mentioned The Devil a lot back then. Especially if
you refused to change the channel for them. Or make
your bed. To this day, I equate messy sheets with the
fires of Hell. And I wonder why I have nightmares.
The remote control, of course, was not the only
gadget that forever altered a family's television viewing habits. Believe it or not, youngsters, there was a
time when you had no way to record anything, no
VCR, no DVD player, no NetFlix live streaming. If
you wanted to see the week's new Hee Haw episode,
then, by gum, you had better be in the living room
at 6 p.m. on Saturday night. Yeah, sure, you might
be able to catch it several months later if there was
a re-run, but you generally wouldn't know about it
ahead of time so you'd probably miss it twice, and
dadburn it all, that was the week Porter Wagoner
and Dolly Parton did their "Please Don' Stop Loving
Me" duet. Yeah, too bad. She did.
By the way, when you watched Hee Haw every
week, you learned to say things like "by gum" and
"dadburn it all." I blame Grandpa Jones.
A lot of times it really didn't matter if you could
record a program or not, because the TV reception
was usually bad enough that you couldn't get the
station you wanted anyway. If I recall correctly, our

Food Plots and Young Hunters

Hello friends,
This weeks column is about growing food plots with your kids and
hunting together over them. I really enjoy both.
Wednesday, May 13 -- high 67, low 29
There was frost on top of our turkey blind this morning when my
14-year-old daughter, Selina Walters, and I got inside of it. No problem,
I had a two-burner propane stove hooked up to a 20-pound propane tank
that was camouflaged and outside of the blind.
Last fall, I kind of ran my stove over with my truck and this morning
when I lit it, there was a boom which was an explosion, which meant
no stove today.
Last fall I went through three stoves in 30 days, one due to natural
causes, another destroyed by a storm, which also destroyed my brand
new screen tent and the one that I backed over with my truck.
So today, Selina and I are both trying to whack a tom with our bows
and arrows. Both of us have already harvested a mature tom earlier in
the season. We are hunting our food plot, which has become a wildlife
mecca.
Last May, Selina and I planted about a half-acre of clover and then
in August we planted beets, turnips and radishes on another quarter
acre next to it. Within spitting distance of the beets, is a pond and the
plot is surrounded on three sides by a jackpine and oak forest.
For the most part Selina does all of the whitetail hunting with a
bow here and I have found out that it is very difficult for a 12- and then
13-year-old girl to be close enough to a deer to make a decent shot with
a compound bow set at about 42 pounds.
Last summer Selina was 13 and she did a lot of practicing and, I have
to tell you folks, in that age bracket it is hard for a girl to comfortably
and unnoticeably pull a bow back that is set over 42 pounds from a
tree stand.
In our situation, at least in the last two years, Selina has to be in a
tree on the edge of the plot as she has a max comfort range of about
18-20 yards.
So were in our blind this morning and as always we are having
fun. Deep in the forest toms are gobbling and as time passes they are

LESAR
by TRG Editor Dean Lesar
house got the Eau Claire station with regularity, but
the programs from Wausau were iffy, at best. So, you
might be looking forward to watching "The Carol
Burnett Show" on a Saturday night, but you'd try
to tune it in by wrestling with the rabbit ears (for
those of you less than 40 years of age, "rabbit ears"
were a set of wires you set atop your TV set that were
supposed to draw in signals but really only served
to fool you that you had any control whatsoever
about what you'd watch on a given night), which
never helped, so you'd be stuck with "The Waltons"
episode in which John Boy left the farm to get a job
in the city as a crack cocaine dealer. No, wait, that
might have been the "Law and Order:SVU" I saw
last night. Anyway, the reception was always poorest for the network you most wanted to see, which I
think was the work of The Devil. At least that's what
Dad said, after he caught me and my sister smoking
cigarettes in the woods.
Imagine today not being able to record a program, or get it at your every whim. If I miss this
week's episode of "The Bachelorette," say, I don't
have to worry that Kaitlyn won't choose Clint because he's actually been winking at JJ (c'mon, you
can't make stuff like that up), because I can just go
to any computer and call up the episode and be
caught up before the new "The Real Housewives of
Atlanta" starts. And this week I hear Todd

is going to finally confront Kandi's family. Nooo waaayyyy! I'm soooo pumped.
You go, bro!
It would be almost impossible today
to go without a remote control, especially
with the satellite systems that bring you
hundreds of channels at once. How would
you ever be able to flip through them
one by one, without pushing the "guide"
program to list all the options for you, or
to be able to push the "previous" button
to go directly back and forth between
"Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and
"Family Worship Center" with Jimmy Swaggart.
What? I have eclectic tastes, OK? Or think about
this: what if "CSI:Miami" and "CSI:New Orleans"
were going to be on at the exact same time. In
the past, you'd be fully flummoxed and likely to
make a pact with The Devil to see both (yeah, he'd
generally take your sister for an even-up trade, if
you threw in a menial sin or two). Now, you just
watch the one you want first, and catch the other
one, at your leisure. Man, if they would have had
such technology when I was 10, I would've never
missed an episode of "Emergency!" Dang, that
Johnny Gage was smokin' hot in his fireman outfit.
Oops. Did I say that out loud?
Loudness is controlled today, too, by the remote
control, a tiny hand-held device that has so changed
the way we live that young people today cannot
even comprehend what it's like to not have it. Get
off the couch to change the channel? Huh? That's
as foreign a thought today as driving a car without
being able to talk on the BluTooth, or buying a roll
of film to take a picture. I suppose we're all better
off for the technology, but by gum, I think life was
simpler then.
By the way, The Devil made me say that. Or was
it Grandpa Jones? I always wondered about him.
making their way to our plot.

When they arrived, they were 40 yards away and one of them was
quite possibly the biggest tom that I have ever seen while turkey hunting. The Super Tom had at least a 13-inch beard and I am thinking he
would tip the scale close to 30 pounds. The other tom was a dandy in
the typical 23-pound range, with maybe a 10-inch beard.
These toms were in the plot for 45 minutes, never got closer then 35
yards and though Selina had a 12 gauge in the blind she did not want
to take the chance of wounding the big guy and not recovering him.
Friday, May 15 -- high 73 low 37
Selina made a major announcement to me today! Next year, when she
is in high school, she wants her major sports to be hunting and fishing
(she will still do basketball and either track or softball).
So were in the blind maybe two hours and have another two hours
of daylight left. One of my plans for the plot this year is to put five rows
of corn on the outside of it and let the blind become a part of it all,
perhaps Selina can whack a deer or a turkey this fall from it.
We watch deer feed on the clover and three hens do the same. Then
in the woods, near the pond, I thought I heard the cluck of a hen. I look
that way and wait and soon, two hens appear and then a very large tom.
Selina has her bow and her shotgun and most importantly a strong
desire to harvest her second mature tom of the spring. The tom is making his love dance to the hens. Selina cannot see him do to some jackpine
branches in her way. She has made her choice to use the shotgun. The
toms luck runs out when Selina spots him and absolutely pummels
him with a load of 1-3/4-ounce four shot. Though he was not the Super
Tom, Selinas trophy had an 11-inch beard, 1 1/4-inch spurs and though
I did not weigh him, he weighed every bit of 25 pounds.
Folks I have been to a gazzilion ball games and they are all a beautiful
thing but if you aint hunting with your kids, youre missing out! Sunset

Imagine what life would be like, good people,

if you had to haul your Size XXL caboose out of
your easy chair to change the television channel.
Yeah, that's right, you'd be watching an awful lot
of Dora the Explorer, 'cuz that's the darn channel
your kids left it on, and you sure wish you'd have
noticed that before you sat down with a cold Pabst
and a bag of FunYuns (yeah, well, who cares about
your breath anyway), but now you're stuck with
it. Oh, well, Dora's kind of cute, in a please-don't
tell-anybody-I-think-so sort of way.
I'm not that old to recall the pre-remote
control days of television viewing. I was telling a
young fellow about it the other day, that era when
there were only three channels to watch -- ABC,
NBC and CBS -- but you had to physically get up
off your duff to switch from one to the other. It's
no wonder "I Love Lucy" was so popular. Nobody
had the ambition to switch her off and change it
to "Leave it to Beaver" (by the way, anybody else
out there think Mrs. Cleaver gave Eddie Haskell
just a few too many cookies?)
Adults never complained about not having
a remote control, because that's why they had
children. Some social scientists like to think that
families were large in the 1960s because farmers needed help with the workload, or that the
"baby boom" generation exploded because of
some societal predilection to expansive clans,
when, in fact, Mom and Pop just knew they were
gonna' be tired after a long day at work and they
wanted to be able to shout, "Hey, Billy, change
the channel" when the Ed Sullivan Show came
on. And, if Billy refused, he was quietly sent away
to "summer camp," where portions of his frontal
cortex were surgically removed, so upon returning home he sat a foot away from the TV set and
knew to change the channel every time somebody
coughed. Yeah, sure, he drooled a lot and wet the
bed until he was 32, but there were 12 other kids

Mrs. Schulz:
-- Family Fun Fest: On Thursday, May 7, we have over 300 children and parents come to the Family Fun Fest from 5:30-7. This
event is organized by Connie Schroedel (Title 1) and Janet Wolf (4k).
They spend countless hours lining up the games, food and prizes
for the event. Every attendee is treated to supper and the students
can play games that are set up throughout the gym. Many, many of
the elementary teachers volunteer hours of their time to get a game
prepared for this event and then come in on the night of the event
to run their game. This year, students were able to golf, stack, toss,
get tattoos, walk for cupcakes, try wacky flavored suckers and much
more. When each child is done in the gym they get to choose a prize
to take home. A huge thank you to all involved and especially Connie
and Janet.
-- Curriculum: The new elementary reading series has been ordered and training is being set up. We are currently looking at an
option for grades 6-12 that would include an online resource which
encompasses below, on, and above level readers. Over the summer Mike and I are going to revisit our curriculum cycle. This would
ensure that all curricular areas are reviewed in a timely manner. Part
of this process obviously needs to include budget considerations. In
the "old day" once a curricular review was complete and products
were ordered to support the curriculum there was minimal cost after
that. Now our purchases include an online component and this fee
is usually based on a 3-5 year cycle. This doesn't normally mean
an increase in cost, it usually equates to the cost being spread out
over time.
Assessment: As of today, each grade from grades 3-8 have only
one test left (Math Performance Task for the Badger Exam)! This
means we have completed 51 different testing sessions in the last
five weeks! We have completed this testing "season" with a relatively
minimal amount of difficulty. The entire staff has been extremely flexible and patient with changes in schedules, computer shortages for
other projects, and the prep work needed to teach the students the
computer interface for each test. The students have also been troopers and maintained positive attitudes throughout this testing time.
Katrina Eisfeldt was a huge help with the high school testing and
coordination of schedules, Rob Toepel coordinated all of the accommodations/schedules for our students with special needs, and Sue
Harn and Scott Johnson were on hand to help with computer issues.
Mr. Zanotelli:
-- JJ Watt Foundation: Congratulations to Mr. Gorst on his application to the JJ Watt Foundation to help buy equipment for middle
school football, baseball, and softball. A special thank you to the JJ
Watt Foundation for accepting the application and awarding us over
$10,000 for this endeavor.
-- Senior awards: Senior awards night went well and thank you to
all of the people that made that night possible. The major contributor,
Karla Brehm, Greg Oestreich, Ms. Lohrentz, and Katrina Eisfeldt always do a great job of preparing and organizing for that night. Thank
you to the people who contributed the various scholarships.
-- Prom/post prom: A great night was had by all attendants at the
prom and post prom back on April 25. The dance was great and the
activities at the post prom went well. The BLAST organization hosts
the post prom and numbers were down a little from past years but
all that meant was more food and bowling for the students that attended.
-- Elks Youth Achievement Awards: Congratulations to all of the
students who were selected to represent Spencer at the ELKS Youth
Achievement Awards held in Marshfield, on Wednesday, May 6.
The participants were:
Art/drama: Bradly Doescher
Computer production: Ashley Zimmerman
Instrumental music: Allison Farrell
Vocal music: Amanda Springob

Science: Jordan Wichlacz
Math/physics: Haley Griepentrog
Social studies: Abigal Varsho

Mr. Endreas:
-- LGPIF: Endries shared a letter from the state of Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance.
-- CESA 10: Mike Haynes, CESA 10 director, is looking to attend
a meeting this summer as he would like to share CESA 10 initiatives
and information with the Board. Endreas will set a date with him to
attend an upcoming Board meeting.
-- FFA banquet: We are having more and more conflicts with
events during the week, especially in the spring. Mr. Zimmerman is
seeking permission to consider a Sunday afternoon or evening as
an option for the FFA banquet. The family policy is very direct on our
Wednesday night and a little more open on Sundays. Board consensus to allow the FFA banquet to be held on a Sunday.
-- Drama Club garage sale: The area that we store props/etc. for
our Drama Club is overflowing. They are looking at doing a garage
sale of some of the items with the thought of the proceeds to be
put back into the club. This pertains to Policy 690 School Properties

Offense falters as Spencer loses in regional softball final

Spencers softball season lasted one day beyond the
regularly scheduled WIAA Division 3 regional final, but
only because of the rain. The game against the top-seeded
Rockets and #3 Marathon, played on Saturday because
of Fridays poor weather, did not go as the Rockets had
planned.
With Marathon pitcher Bria Jahnke allowing only
three singles and two walks, and the Marathon offense
able to come through with timely hits, Marathon won 9-1
to advance to a June 2 sectional game against Oconto.
Spencers season again ended in the regionals, after
a regular season that included an undefeated sweep
through the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference. The Rockets
will hand in their uniforms with a 22-4 overall season
record to contemplate.
Marathon got a break in the top of the first inning
that set the tone for the rest of the regional final. Spencer
junior pitcher Macie Weber issued back-to-back walks
with one out, but struck out Natasha Hanke. Amanda
Kind then popped a blooper into short right field, which
Kallie Reckner was unable to reach with a diving attempt.
Both runners scored for a 2-0 Marathon lead.
Spencer got one of those runs back quickly. Marisa
Johnson led off the Rocket first inning with a single. As
she attempted a steal of second base, the catchers throw
bounded into center field and Johnson was able to come
all the way around to score.
In the Marathon second, Weber walked the first two
hitters and Courtney Ford laid down a bunt for an infield
hit that filled the bases. The next two hitters followed
with sacrifice flies to stake the Red Raiders to a 4-1 lead.
After a lead-off walk to Lexi Baehr in the Spencer
second, Jahnke struck out the side. Marathon bumped
the lead to 5-1 in the next frame when Kind powered an
0-2 Weber pitch over the left centerfield fence.
Spencer was retired in order in the third inning.
Marathon added another run in the fourth, on two Rocket
infield errors. After Weber had retired the first two hitters, Emily Kind reached on a fielding error, advanced to
second on a base hit, and came home when Julia Anderson reached first on a throwing error.
Spencer showed some life in the fourth. Weber drew
a 1-out walk and Baehr followed with a single up the
middle. The rally died on Lindsey Vaughans strikeout
and Colleen Arnolds foul pop-out. The Rockets got the
lead runner aboard in the fifth on an infield error, but
Reckner grounded into a fielders choice, Johnson popped
out to third base, and Brooke Kettleborough hit a routine
fly ball to left field.
Marathon iced the game in the sixth. With one away,
Ford lined a base hit and stole second, and Emily Kind
walked. Weber got a strikeout for the second out, but issued a 4-pitch walk to Anderson to load the bases. Hanke
applied the knock-out punch, doubling to the gap in left
centerfield to push all three runners across the plate.
Spencer got a base hit from Mandie Schultz in the sixth
and went down 1-2-3 in the seventh.
Weber pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing nine runs (six
earned) on six hits, six walks and seven strikeouts. Ellayna Lyon got the last four outs, with one walk.
Jahnke struck out eight Rockets.
Spencer 3 Loyal-Granton 0
In the May 28 regional semi-final at Spencer, the Rockets scored three times in the fourth inning to take a close
game. Weber allowed only three hits and a walk while
striking out eight.
Schultz led off the decisive fourth inning with a double
off the fence.Weber lined a base hit on an 0-2 pitch from
Morgan Reinwand to put runners on the corners. After
Baehr lined out to Deveni Rowley at shortstop, Vaughan
put down a bunt and reached safely when the Greyhound
first baseman couldnt handle the throw. Both Schultz and
Weber scored on the play for a 2-0 Spencer lead. Arnold
reached on a single up the middle, and Courtney Buss
bunted for an infield hit. With the bases load, Reckner
ripped an RBI single to left field. Reinwand avoided
further damage by getting Johnson on a pop-out and
Kettleborough on an infield grounder.
Loyal-Granton had chances to score, but couldnt quite
come up with the big hit. In the first, with two runners
on and two out, Carly Dix smoked a line drive that was
caught by Johnson at shortstop. In the third, Ryleigh
Wilke led off with a line single, but was cut down at third
base trying to advance two bases on Devyn Schoonovers
bunt attempt. Wilke had another hit in the sixth with
one out. Schoonover was thrown out on a bunt attempt
before Reinwand reached on an infield single. The threat
was ended when Reinwand was gunned down by Schultz
trying to steal.
Reinwand pitched a complete game for Loyal-Granton,
allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits, no walks
and no strikeouts.
Weber went 3-3 for Spencer.

New deer quotas in place for 2015

The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board has approved deer harvest quotas for 2015 designed to manage
deer towards population objectives established for each
deer management unit.
In 2015, 13 management units will not have an antlerless quota, while the rest of Wisconsin will have a quota
of 224,735 antlerless deer. The issuance of bonus deer
hunting permits, in addition to free farmland zone tags,
will include 18,450 tags valid on public access lands and
125,375 valid on private lands.
These recommendations represent the next step in
a new era of Wisconsin deer management and mark
the first year in which County Deer Advisory Councils
played a major role in establishing deer harvest quotas and permit level recommendations. In February,
the Natural Resources Board approved each councils
recommendations for three-year deer population objectives.
Deer management units will primarily follow county
boundaries, with each larger unit divided into public

and private land-types to address differences in deer
distribution and help provide for an increase in deer
numbers on public hunting lands.
As a reminder, 2015 bonus antlerless tags will go on
sale in August.

ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT THE WATER WE DRINK
Were pleased to present to you this years annual quality water report. This report is designed to inform
you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you
with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to
continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to
ensuring the quality of your water.
Our water we drink comes from underground aquifers or ssures found in sand and gravel formations
located deep beneath the earths surface.
I am pleased to report that our drinking water is safe and meets all federal and state requirements. If you
have any questions about this report or, concerning your water utility please contact Trent Johnson at 2677496 or Lonna Klinke at 267-6205. From 8-5 p.m., Monday thru Friday. We want our valued customers to
be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled
meetings. They are held on the third Wednesday of every month at the Greenwood City Hall.
The Greenwood Water Utility routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal
and State laws. This table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2014.
All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small
amounts of some contaminants. Its important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does
not necessarily pose a health risk.
As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. Were proud that your drinking water meets or
exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some
contaminants have been detected. The EPA has determined that your WATER IS SAFE at these levels. All
sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by contaminants that are naturally occurring
or man made. These contaminants can be microbes, organic or inorganic chemicals, or radioactive materials.
All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts
of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses
a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling
the Environmental Protection Agencys Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
In our continuing efforts to maintain a safe and dependable water supply it may be necessary to make improvements in your water system. The costs of these improvements may be reected in the rate structure.
Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have
undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and
infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water
from their health care providers. EEOA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection
by crypto sporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water
Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
Please call our ofce if you have any questions about our water or this report.
We at the Greenwood Water Utility work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask
that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of
life and our childrens future.
Sincerely, THE CITY OF GREENWOOD
Trent Johnson, utility director
2014 CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT DATA GREENWOOD WATERWORKS, PWS ID: 61003283
Water System Information: If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report,
please contact Trent Johnson at (715) 267-7496.
Opportunity for input on decisions affecting your water quality: The Greenwood City Council meets
the third Wednesday of the month at City Hall, located at 102 N. Main St., at 6. This is your opportunity
for input on decisions affecting your water system.
Health Information: Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at
least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate
that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be
obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who
have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some
elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about
drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the
risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental
Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Educational information: The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land
or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material,
and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants,
septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- occurring or result from urban
stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban
stormwater runoff and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production
and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain
contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants
in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.

DETECTED CONTAMINANTS
Your water was tested for many contaminants last year. We are allowed to monitor for some contaminants less frequently than once a year. The following tables list only those contaminants which
were detected in your water. If a contaminant was detected last year, it will appear in the following
tables without a sample date. If the contaminant was not monitored last year, but was detected
within the last ve years, it will appear in the tables below along with the sample date.

ADDITIONAL HEALTH INFORMATION: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials
and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Greenwood Waterworks is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by ushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are
concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
INFORMATION ON MONITORING FOR CRYPTOSPORIDIUM AND RADON: Our water system did not monitor our water for cryptosporidium or radon during 2014. We are not required by State or Federal drinking water regulations to do so.
OTHER COMPLIANCE Noncompliance with recordkeeping and compliance data: Between 11-1-2014 and 11-30-2014 well #6 was not tested for coliform bacteria and therefore cannot be sure of the quality
of drinking water at this time. Well #6 was previously tested quarterly and now is tested monthly. This was an oversight of the operator in charge.

Stratford man made a living judging cheese, butter
By Casey Krautkramer
You will always find cheese in Bob
Aschebrocks home refrigerator. The
74-year-old Stratford man always
has a plethora of different types of
cheese on hand.
Thats because Aschebrock grew
up in his parents Grand Meadow
Cheese Factory in Rozellville and is
now chief judge
of the Wisconsin,
United
States and World
Championship
cheese contests.
He is a master
at tasting and
smelling
various cheeses and
butters a skill
not
everyone
possesses.
Bob
Aschebrock
Aschebrock
first uses a tool
called a trier to pull a round plug out
of a block of cheese. Then he lightly
sniffs the cheese so he can tell whether it has a fruity, fermented or yeasty
taste. Then he rolls the cheese around
in his mouth so he can taste whether
it has enough salt, is flat or bitter.
One out of 10 people cant tell
whether food has a bitter taste, or
whether it has the proper amount of
salt, he said.
One of his biggest career accomplishments is developing a flavor kit
for new United States Department
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS - Bob Aschebrock is shown here handling a milk can in his parents Grand Meadow Cheese Factory
in Rozellville.

of Agriculture workers. The kit is
comprised of rubber pieces of cheese
that either have a rough surface, gas
or sweet holes. Cheese that has these
characteristics will be downgraded.
I won some big awards for this
kit, Aschebrock said.
He also will use a trier to pull out
a sample of butter to taste, to see if
it contains enough salt. He then looks
at the backside of the trier to see if
there are moisture beads.
If butter isnt churned long
enough, then the water doesnt come
out and you have leaky butter, Aschebrock said. Then its essentially
like companies are selling water instead of butter.
Grassland Dairy owner Dallas Wuethrich lets Aschebrock into his plant
so he can keep up his butter-tasting
skills.
As far as cheese goes, Aschebrock
enjoys buying different kinds at the
grocery store to taste at home.
One of his favorite cheeses is called
Juustoleipa, a cheese that was developed in Finland and is now produced
at Babcock Hall on the University of
Wisconsin-Madison campus. He also
buys a four-year-old sharp cheese
made in Canada that he can only
find at Sams Club. He noted that LeGranders Cheese in Stanley makes

the best Colby cheese in the country.
There arent any types of cheese
that I havent already tried, he joked.
Aschebrock never buys cheese or
butter from the top of the freezer in
the grocery store, however, because
these packages are exposed to the
stores fluorescent lights. So, he digs
down deep.
Light is an enemy of cheese, he
said. If you see a real red or pink
surface on it, thats called light oxidization, and the product wont taste
good.
Aschebrocks roots are in the
cheese industry, as his father made
Colby and cheddar cheese at Grand
Meadow Cheese Factory for approximately 40 years. A USDA inspector
was in the plant one time, and Aschebrock asked him, Where can I get a
cushy job like you have?
The inspector was actually looking to hire more inspectors and gave
Aschebrock an application. It took a
year-and-a-half before Aschebrock
was offered the job, and his father
urged him to take it so he wouldnt
have to work in a cheese factory seven days a week the rest of his life.

He began working for the USDA in

1967, and he worked inside Bordon
Cheese Factory in Plymouth. He used
a trier to pull out plugs of cheese
from blocks for eight hours per day
for six months.
Aschebrock began judging at the
Wisconsin State Fair in 1987, and
things took off from there. He has
even judged contests in Europe and
Switzerland.
People dont realize how many
characteristics there are in cheese,
he said. There is a 1956 Wisconsin
and USDA book of standards that is
still used, which explains what defects there are in cheese. The book on
butter defects is from 1960.
Cheddar cheese has 17 different
flavors, 13 body defects, eight color
defects and 18 surface defects, he
said. Butter has 25 flavor defects,
eight body defects, four color defects and two defects for salt that can
downgrade it.
Aschebrock retired from conducting cheese plant inspections for the
USDA in 1997, but he will still do consulting work for brand new plants to
help them get on their feet in the industry. He remains a licensed cheese
and butter grader in Wisconsin, so he
can keep up his skills.
Some of the accomplishments that
I am proud of are that I am a lifetime
member of both the State of Wisconsin and United States cheese maker
associations, he said.

HAPPY BEANS
Coffee roaster Guerrero will bring out beans complex flavors
By Peter Weinschenk
Look to Edgar to become the next coffee Mecca.
Francisco Guerrero of the Condor
Coffee Co. said recently that a blue
roaster capable of holding 25 pounds of
coffee beans will be installed at Starks
Floral, Edgar, during the first week of
July and will produce fresh, locally
roasted coffee using beans shipped in
from around the world.
Edgar will smell like coffee, he
said.
Guerrero, a native of Chili with a
college degree in wine making, said
making that perfect cup of java is not
all that different from crafting a great
cabernet sauvignon.
The flavor chemistry is similar to
what you find in wine making, he
said.
To learn about coffee production,
Guerrero attended a four-day class in
2013 with seven others at the Diedrich
Roasting Co., Spokane, Wash.
The Condor Coffee brand will use a
700-pound Diedrich machine as a coffee roaster. It is an all-American made
product. The roaster will have some
high tech features. Heat to roast the
beans comes from an infra-red source.
The machine features four thermocouples that are able to chart in a computer program temperatures in four
different places on the coffee bean.
Guerrero said he will be able to create individual signature coffees by dialing in specific temperatures during
the roasting cycle for different kinds
of beans.
You will be able to replicate the flavor profile, he said.
He said coffee beans have their own
individual flavor characteristics, not
unlike wine grapes.
Guerrero said he plans to use five different kinds of fair trade, organic coffee beans in his family business. They
will come from Ethiopia, Columbia,
Panama, Costa Rica and Brazil.
He said Central and South American
green beans are given what is called
a wash process. Here, the beans are
washed with water, allowed to swell
and then briefly ferment. In Africa,
coffee beans are not washed, due to a
lack of water, but are allowed to bake
in the sun.
The coffee bean is the coffee plants
seed.
Guerrero said the secret to roasting
coffee is to figure out how to best bring
out the complex flavors locked inside a
coffee bean.
He said light and medium roasted
coffees lose some acidity and gain some
sweetness in the roasting process.
A dark roasted coffee, however, loses
more acidity and begins to develop
some boldness as water inside the coffee bean starts to caramelize.
A French roasted coffee loses nearly
all off its acidity and, heated thoroughly, not only goes through caramelization but begins to lose oils, thus gaining some bitterness.
An Italian roast, the darkest of all
roasts, has no acidity, but is bold and
strong with lots of dark, oily flavors.

A TRUE HOME THEATER

Abby man keeps silver screen dreams alive
By Christian Parker
For Allen Leu, movie theaters are his passion. He has
been working in and around
theaters since he was old
enough to lift a heavy film
reel to a projector when he
was in eighth grade.
Leus involvement in the
movie business began as a
projectionist for Robert and
Cecil Hodd, who opened The
Abby Theater in Abbotsford
in 1948. Leu quickly came to
enjoy theater work and became a steady employee for
the Hodds. As a projectionist, he once saw the blockbuster Jaws 32 times.
In 1969, he helped the
Hodds construct and operate
the 13-29 Drive-In Theater
that stood between Colby and
Abbotsford for 26 years. He
worked with the Hodd family
at both the Abby cinema and
the drive-in.
In 1996, Leu purchased The
Abby Theater from Robert
and Cecils successors, David and Leanne Hodd. He ran

the theater for 16 years, in
addition to holding a job at
Marshfield Homes.
When a fire destroyed
The Abby Theater in 2012,
it looked like Leus days in
show business were over.
With a large investment in
expensive technology a
must for modern cinema
owners plus building and
real estate prices, the prospect of rebuilding looked
daunting.
Everybodys always telling me, Why dont you
build a new theater? I say
Hey, why dont you give me
$800,000? Leu said.
It probably could be done
if everybody would get together. Id invest in it, too.
Wed need to get donations to
get the building up and running with everything in it.
The equipment is just terribly expensive. Ive got some
of the equipment here but
See THEATER/ Page 9
CLASSIC MACHINE - Al Leu enjoys running one of several large 35mm projectors he has
in his garage that he saved from The Abby. With a 2000 bulb and 35mm film scarce, Leu only
operates the projectors on special occasions.

Theater
Ive got no digital.
For now, a lack of funding has not
kept Leu from cinema. The garage at
his home is filled with old film reels
and memorabilia from his theater
days. He has constructed a special
room in the back of his garage that
houses projectors and equipment
that he saved from the 13-29 Drive-In
and was able to salvage from the fire
at The Abby.
From time to time, he will fire up
one of the old projectors and shine it
at his garage door, but it is not practical for movie viewing, as its 2,000watt bulb puts out a tremendous
amount of light for such a small
area. Leu also only has a couple cartoons and one feature film that can
run on the old projectors.
Leus backyard is where the real
surprise can be found. Last year, he
constructed a large screen that is attached to framing that was formerly
part of a swing set. Guy wires and
bracing support the eight-by-16 foot
structure against wind and weather. Milkhouse board panels create a
bright reflective surface.

Its all treated wood and completely waterproof, and its anchored
real good, Leu said.
The latest addition to Leus attraction is a four-by-eight shed near the
screen that appears to be a typical
back yard garden shack except for a
small hole in one wall.
Inside, the shed contains an amplifier, a DVD player, and a digital projector that points through the wall
of the building. There is even a popcorn machine in the corner.
Its kinda cool, Leu said. We get
some people out here, get a movie going and make a little popcorn and,
oh, people like it.
Audio is driven through two speakers mounted to poles on either side
of the screen.
We still have to bury the speaker
lines, Leu said.
Last year, we would just set all
the equipment up outside to show
on the screen, but the problem was
that I would always have to bring it
into the garage when we were done.
PROJECTION BOOTH - Leus projection and amplification system is protected from the elements in a four by eight foot shed near his screen. His
shack also serves as a concession stand.

FROM FARM TO STAGE

Colby High Schools show choir uses chocolate milk to refuel
By Kevin OBrien
Anyone who has been to a Colby show
choir performance can see firsthand
just how much physical energy is expended in the course of a couple hours.
Red hot faces and glistening sweat are
all thats left after that much singing
and dancing.
In fact, at the Central Wisconsin
Show Choir Spectacular in January,
the amount of body heat generated by
the hundreds of young performers is
enough to warm up a large gymnasium
in the middle of a Wisconsin winter.
What does it take to replenish a body
thats been through that kind of punishing routine? Liquids, for sure. But what
about a few nutrients and maybe even
some protein?
How does chocolate milk sound?
That idea came to local dairy farmer
Robert Strack after his son, Immanuel,
joined the show choir last fall as a freshman at Colby High School.
It really takes a lot out of them, he
said. I didnt realize it until I picked
him up from the first night of practice and he was beat. I felt bad, so the
first thing I did was bought him an ice
cream.
As the owner of a 70-cow dairy herd
in the town of Holton, Strack said dairy
farming runs deep in his family. His
parents farmed for years and his sister,
Leah Haas, has a farm on Elderberry
Road with her husband, Dean.
Getting milk into the hands of thirsty
show choir kids made sense as both a
promotion for the dairy industry and
MILKIN IT - Members of Colby High Schools show choir proudly display their bottles of TruMoo chocolate milk they
received after a long practice back in January. The milk is purchased with donations from a local farmer and businesses in the area.
as a healthy option for active teenagers,
Strack said.
To make it happen, the Stracks donated some money themselves and also
went out and got donations from the
ProVision Partners in Stratford, Kwik

Trip, Cenex and the Marathon County
Dairy Promotion Board.
The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board
also donated a spotted-cow cooler for
the milk to be stored in during practices, along with other Got Milk? promotional materials for the school.
Choir director Kevin Spindler said
he would normally provide the kids

Milk
with fruit as a snack after the morning
practices so they were prepared to get
through their classes before lunch. For
the evening practices, he said the choir
members parents would occasionally
provide some type of snack, but nothing to this magnitude.
Strack said his goal is to make chocolate milk an ongoing part of the show
choirs practices.
Deb Roth, a special education teachers assistant, orders all of the milk for
the choir and said it would not be possible without the parents efforts.
The Strack family has been very
generous in not only finding the donations and keeping this going, they also
purchased a fridge for us to keep it in so
that he could dole it out to the kids once
we got the milk, Roth said.
Roth said the students swarm around
the cooler to get their milk after the
practices end.
When you walk in with these crates,
the kids are excited right away, Roth
said. I have pictures of them just chuga-lugging.
Spindler said the idea of using a beverage made of dairy and chocolate as a
recovery drink is somewhat new to him.
Who would have ever thought chocolate milk? When we were kids, that was
just a treat, he said.
Strack said the restorative powers of
milk have been well-publicized lately
in the media, with professional athletes
shown drinking the high-protein beverage. Everyone from the Green Bay Packers to bicycle racers have participated
in the famous Got Milk? campaigns.
So, its everywhere really, he said.

Its a good thing and its a fun thing for
everybody.
In 2006, a physiology professor at Indiana University, Joel Stager, found that
chocolate milk was particularly wellsuited as a recovery drink for stressed
muscles because of its high protein and
carbohydrate content. Using swimmers
and cyclists as his test subjects, Stager
found that chocolate milk was just as
effective, if not more so, than sports
drinks.
Of course, drinking milk right before
singing is not recommended, but Spindler says consuming it afterwards can
be a nice treat for a strained throat.
Milk coats the vocal cords, but it
actually calms them and soothes them
too, he said. Its a very good thing, you
just dont sing on it.
A few of the show choir kids are lactose intolerant or cant have chocolate,
but Roth said that doesnt stop the milk
from getting consumed.
Somebody always steps up and says,
Oh, Ill take yours, she said. Theres
never any left.
Roth said she has also started providing white and strawberry varieties as
alternatives to chocolate.
To further promote the benefits of
milk to the public, Roth said they are
looking at providing milk to the show
choir kids after their annual Cheese
Days performance in July.
As our program grows, this promo is
growing, she said.
The choirs new post-practice milk
tradition has also gotten attention out-

DIVA DEFINED
Loyal woman starts magazine
for women involved in farming
By Dean Lesar
Alora Rueth considers herself to
be part of an unnoticed group, those
women who go about their daily farm
lives, often without enough connections to others just like them.
They are country divas, Rueth
says, a unique demographic of rural
women, one she is trying to bring together through a magazine she began
publishing last year.
You define your own journey,
Rueth writes in the definition of
country diva published in each issue
of her magazine that goes by the same
name.
You believe no one should define
your destiny but you. Your passion and
dreams exist in a barn, field, business,
kitchen wherever they lead you. You
are not ashamed of what you have,
what you look like, who you are. Above
all, you are not ashamed to be yourself
at all times.
From her farmhouse a few miles east
of Loyal, Rueth has so far published
five quarterly issues of Country Diva
magazine. Circulation is growing gradually as word spreads of its appeal to
farm women, and she is assembling a

staff of like-minded ladies who share
her mission of linking country divas
together. Rueth is measuring her publications success so far on its value to
readers as she grows it toward an eventual full-time avocation in her retirement years.
Rueth farms with her husband,
Roger, on his familys farm. Their two
sons, Chris and Robin, are working
their way into the operation. She also
works full-time as an at-home medical
transcriptionist in-between feeding the
farm crew, helping with chores when
needed, managing the farm accounting and, now, publishing a magazine.
Rueth began working in medical
transcription just a few weeks out of
high school, and has now been in the
medical support field for more than
40 years. Especially when she began
working from her home, she said she
began to feel isolated from others. Out
there somewhere, she knew there were
others wearing the same shoes, women
who devoted their lives to their farms
and families, but who lacked connections with comrades.
That idea struck Rueth as she be-

Diva
magazine. She may push the schedule
to six issues per year at that time.
Rueth said she is already ahead of
the timeline on which she had begun
the magazine. A major step forward
was to begin charging for the publication on a yearly subscription basis, at
$15. She had planned to sell only single
copies, but her connections with others in the Professional Ladies of Clark
County group convinced her to move
ahead with subscriptions.
Rueth is still not at the point where
she can pay her help. They work strictly on oxygen, she says, but her plan is
to eventually reward those who contribute not great, but something.
So far, she has been able to make the
magazines ends meet, after paying for
printing and postage costs.
Come printing time, I seem to always have enough to cover, she said.
Financial riches are not the reason
Rueth is publishing Country Diva, she
said.
A magazine is very, very hard compared to other media publications to
make a profit from, she said. To me,
its not about money. Its my purpose,
or my mission, especially for this demographic.
Rueth said she belongs to an online
group of rural women who discuss
their life situations. Through that
link, and from years of her awareness

of her own isolation on the farm, she
knew there were others who might
appreciate a friendly connection with
similar souls.
Nobody has actually reached out to
them and shown them there are others
like them, she said. I want to create
a community, to reach out to them and
let them know theres a place for them.
Now I have so many more friends and
people with common interests. Its
very rewarding that way.
The magazine also gives Rueth an
outlet for her creative side. She returned to college to get a degree so she
could break out of the monotonous
routine of her decades-long job, so she
could have something meaningful on
which to work in her retirement.
I am a creative person. This job I
have doesnt allow anything like that.
I feel very restricted, Rueth said.
When I reach the age when I can retire, I want to do something that I want
to do and thats creative.
Single copies of Country Diva magazine are available in January, April,
July and October at Mayvilles Market, Greenwood; Davels Merchandise,
Stratford; Gordys County Market,
Spencer; Mobil Mart, Withee; and Abbyland Truck Stop, Curtiss. For more information, visit countrydivamagazine.

MEET YOUR HOSTS

Boon Farms to host dairy breakfast near Greenwood June 14
Its time to celebrate June Dairy
Month with breakfast on the farm. This
years Neillsville Dairy Breakfast will
be held on a farm approximately seven
miles north of the city on STH 73.
Brad and Kristine and Duane and
Brenda Boon are ready to welcome area
residents, as well as visitors from far and
wide, to their farm in central Wisconsin
on Sunday, June 14.
Duane Boon started farming in high
school with the purchase of 14 heifer
calves. He and his wife Brenda eventually grew the milking herd from those
calves, purchasing very few cows to supplement their herd over the course of
40 years. Duane and Brenda have three
grown children, Stacy, Erick and Brad.
Brad joined the family farm operation after he left the military in 2010. In
2014, Duane and Brenda partnered with
Brad and his wife Kristine to form Boon
Farms LLC. Brad and Kristine have two
children, Natalie, 3, and Fletcher, 1, and a
third child due this fall.
Boon Farms LLC has grown to over
1,000 owned and rented acres, 300 cows,
300 young heifers and seven employees.
Duane and Brad, along with their team
of dedicated employees, carry out the
various daily tasks of the dairy milking, feeding, breeding, building, fixing
or hauling, not to mention the fieldwork
that comes with growing nearly all of
their own feed. The farm produces over
eight million pounds of raw milk annually.
BREAKFAST HOSTS - The Boon family will host this years Neillsville area dairy breakfast. From left to right are Brad, his
son Fletcher, daughter Natalie, wife Kristine, along with his parents, Brenda and Duane.
Their top priorities are ensuring excellent animal health and comfort, as well
as being great stewards of the land.
As sponsors of the dairy breakfast, the
Neillsville Area Chamber of Commerce,
along with the Neillsville FFA and FFA
Alumni, recognize the effort required to
prepare the farm for this event and are
grateful to the Boons who generously offered to host the breakfast this year.
Thank You,
Local Farmers for
Giving Your Dairy Finest
Breakfast will be served from 7 a.m. to

noon in their newly constructed 70 by 160foot pole shed with a menu that includes
gluten-free pancakes. The gluten-free
batter will be mixed in a separate area
using separate utensils and prepared on
a brand new grill. Also being served are
traditional buttermilk and blueberry
pancakes, special recipe scrambled eggs,
sausage links, applesauce, cheese curds,
ice cream, juice, milk and coffee.

After indulging in a delicious meal,
attendees are encouraged to tour the
grounds on foot or by hay wagon ride,
and enjoy live music by the Danish Peasant, a petting zoo, an antique tractor display, and activities for kids.
Parking is available on the farm,
which is located at N6634 State Highway
73, Greenwood. Follow the signs.

Leu invites the general public to
movie showings in his yard. He uses
social networking to advertise the
shows and does not charge admission. The movies start at about 8:30
p.m. or when it gets dark enough for
proper viewing.
Leu maintains dreams of re-entering the cinema business on a commercial level and speaks often of
opening a new theater.
If enough people would pledge
to get a theater up and going, there
would be an instant return on that
investment plus instant business
for the town again, he said, A two

the way to go in terms of balancing building costs and utilities with
profit - I think it would bring quite a
return.

Theater
This really is a great place, Leu
said, You wouldnt believe the business that theater drew to the area.
Leu does recognize challenges that
have plagued cinema owners in recent years. Competition from TV and
other forms of entertainment, along
with changing technologies, have
presented theaters with increasingly
difficult financial circumstances.
A movie theater is different from
other businesses where youve got
people constantly in and out, he
said. In a movie theater, youve only
got that time span. During the week,
theres school, sports and so much
!

THANK YOU
DAIRY FARMERS!
FORMER GLORY - During Al Leus early days in the theater business, he

helped Robert and Cecil Hodd build the 13-29 Drive-In Theater (pictured
here) in 1969. It was located between Colby and Abbotsford on STH 13.
Leu was involved in operating the drive-in until it was demolished in 1997
to make way for the expansion of STH 29.

other competition,
When he owned The Abby Theater,
some people in town referred to Leu
as a light fixture. He earned the nickname because he worked tirelessly
at that building in the many years
since completing high school and always seemed to be there eager to entertain patrons.
Now, he is a fixture in a different
regard. Theater has been and probably always will be in Leus blood.
Abbotsford can most likely count
on Leu running some form of theater for some time to come, no matter how large or small.
