44th annual Abbotsford parade brings Christmas to life

The 44th Annual Abbotsford Christmas Parade is right around the corner.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, Dec
6 at 7:30 pm., downtown Abbotsford.
What makes this parade different
from every other community parade?
Until you have experienced it you wont
believe what a city of 2,300 people can
pull off. This isnt your typical parade
with tractor-trailers and politicians.
Hundreds of hours of donated labor
and time go into making each float and
costume. There are no advertisements
on the floats, just your favorite fantasy
and cartoon characters and thousands
of lights.
The parade is supported by area businesses that donate prizes and through
the purchase of raffle tickets. The raffle
tickets are available at area businesses
now through Friday, Dec. 5 and the night
of the parade on the parade route until
the start of the parade at 7:30.
Grand prize is a Kalahari resort vacation and cash donated by The Abbotsford/Colby Area Chamber of Commerce
and the Axium Community Center.
Other prizes are a Hom Pellet Grill
donated by A-Z Town and Country
and Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home;
a chest freezer with $500 of meat
donated by Nicolet National Bank; a
John Deere 4x2 toy Gator donated by
Kramer-Schiferl Realty and Kramers
County Market; a snowblower donated
by Forward Financial Bank; an Insignia
10 tablet donated by AbbyBank; a $200
prepaid Visa card donated by RCU; an
iPad Mini donated by TP Printing; a $100
gas card and $50 Hardees card donated by
Hardees of Colby and Super 29 Shell; a
Ford Peddle tractor donated by Cherokee

Garage; a 2-night stay at Abby Inn donated
by the Abbotsford hotels; $100 Abby/Colby
Chamber Dollars donated by Christensen
Sales Corp.; a $100 Robs Redwood gift
certificate donated by Robs Redwood of
Unity; a $100 pizza party donated by Abbotsford Pizza Hut; and a large stuffed
giraffe and brown bear donated by First
City Dental.
The new Frozen float may be the
cause of all the early cold weather. Anna,
Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, Sven, and the trolls
will warm your heart and melt all the
holiday stress away.
All the other costumes and floats are being repaired and cleaned for the big night.
If you missed the last couple of years you
will be enchanted by Cinderellas elegant
handcrafted carriage and The Little Mermaid and Ursula float.
If it has been years since you have been
to the Abbotsford Christmas Parade or
have never seen the parade, make time
this year to get your holiday spirit in full
gear. Past parade guests from the Twin
Cities to Madison have returned over and
over because they dont have anything
to compare to the Abbotsford Christmas
Parade in those communities. This is the
Christmas parade you dont want to miss.
On Friday night, Dec. 5 the public learning center in the Abbotsford City Hall will
host a free family movie about two sisters
and a snowman. Come early to meet the
movie and parade characters from 6-7 p.m.
The free movie starts at 7 p.m.
A full schedule of events is planned on
Saturday. A cookie walk will be held from
8 a.m. to noon at St Bernards Catholic
Church in Abbotsford. Lunch with Santa
Cinderella and Prince Charming appear in the Abbotsford Christmas Parade in an

elegant hand-crafted carriage. More than 40 floats and 250 costumed characters
will make their way down Abbotsfords Main Street on Saturday, Dec. 6 for the 44th
year of the annual event.
will be held from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at
Colby High School. Abbotsford City Hall
will be the site of the Abby Lions soup
and chili feed from 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m. and
home-based business cash and carry
sales Shops on Candy Cane Lane will be
held from 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Nicolet Bank,
downtown Abbotsford location only, will
be open from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday
serving refreshments and candy canes and
visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Special discounts are being offered

at the Rodeway Inn and the Abby Inn
for parade goers as they will offer a 25
percent room voucher for those riding
the free shuttle bus to the parade. The
shuttle bus will pick up and drop off at
the East Town Mall parking lot and the
Rodeway Inn.
Bring the whole family, dress warm
and enjoy the magic of Christmas in Abbotsford on Dec. 6.
Local candidates have until Jan. 6 to complete filing process

Jan. 6. Williams or any other incumbent
who does not intend to seek re-election
is to file a statement of non-candidacy
by Dec. 26.
Loyal City Council members up for
new terms in April are Carmen Englebretson and Betty Gluch-Voss in Ward
1, and Ralph Schmitt and Jim McBride
in Ward 2.
In Greenwood, three City Council spots
are up for election. One is the current
Ward 1 seat held by Chuck Susa, and a
Council member will be elected to fill that
seat for the next two years.
The other two seats are now held by
John Fitzl and Mary Domanico, but a
recent change in city ordinance will allow candidates for those two spots to live
49-162874
If you have an inclination to be a

mayor, or a city council member, or belong
to a local board of education, you have
about a month to make it happen. The filing period for candidates for spring 2015
elections is now open, and candidates
have until Jan. 6 to complete required
paperwork to get their names listed on
April 7, 2015 ballots.
Loyal will be electing a mayor in
spring, and each city, village and township
will have elections for various offices. At
least one position will also be open on
each area board of education.
In the city of Loyal, the current term of
Mayor Dave Williams will end in spring.
Anyone wishing to be a candidate for the
job must file papers with the city clerk by
anywhere in the city. In recent elections

the city has been stuggling to get enough
candidates from individual wards, so the
Council changed the rules so two of the
four Council seats will now be at-large,
meaning whomever holds them can live
anywhere in the city limits. The seat now
held by Domanico will become at-large,
and whomever is elected to it in April
will serve a 1-year term. Fitzls current
Ward 2 seat will also become at-large, and
whomever wins it will serve a 2-year term.
In the village of Spencer, voters will
elect a president in April. Pauline Frome
is currently holding that seat after being
appointed to it in summer following Jim
Kiltys resignation. Village Board members up for new 2-year terms will be Greg
Pokallus, Jim Day and Tom Schafer.

Voters in spring will also pick new
board of education members. In Granton,
incumbents Theresa Hasz and Paul Knoff
are up for new 3-year terms. In Greenwood, those up for re-election are Roger
Sonnentag and Jerome Krempasky.
In the Loyal School District, incumbent
Board members Jeff Acker (area north
of Highway 98) and Katie Weiler (city of
Loyal) are up for new terms. In Spencer,
incumbent at-large Board member Jim
Krasselt is the only one whose term ends
in 2015.
All area townships will also hold elections in spring for chairmen, supervisors,
clerks and treasurers. The towns will hold
caucuses in January to pick candidates.

Is minimum wage hike wise?

Imposing a $10.10 minimum wage
would result in between 798 and 3,613
workers losing their jobs in the non-metro
west central region of Wisconsin, according to a new study by economists Andrew
Hanson and Ike Brannon.
The study commissioned by the
Wisconsin Policy Research Institute concludes that 31,916 workers in the area that
includes Barron, Burnett, Clark, Lincoln,
Polk, Portage. Price, Rusk, Taylor, Trempealeau, Washburn and Wood counties
18 percent of the workforce currently
earn less than $10.10 and most would benefit from a wage increase.
Road funding options bring tough choices

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) has outlined a smorgasbord of ideas to fund roads and mass
transit for the next biennium but it may
be destined for a head-on collision with
Republican talk of cutting taxes.
The people who build roads love the
wish list. Government watchdog groups
are wary, especially fearing the suggestion
that general fund revenues -- rather than
transportation fees and taxes -- be used to
finance mass transit.
Among the ideas from DOT are gasoline tax increases and a new vehicle fee
bringing in $751.4 million over two years,
transferring $573.6 million from the general fund, and raising another $805 million
from bonding. Absent from the list are increases in registration fees and extending
the sales tax to fuel sales for vehicles. Gov.
Scott Walker had floated the sales tax idea
briefly earlier in the year.
Walker will outline his transportation funding and spending plan when he
submits his 2015-17 biennial budget to the
Legislature in mid-winter.
The financial background is mixed. In
early November, it was projected that the
state would end the current fiscal year with
a $132 million deficit. Some will remember
the governor turned down more than $250
million in federal money for the Obamacare program
Walker administration officials correctly say the $132 million wont be any
problem. Other administrations have
solved projected deficits by curbing spending or by delaying payments into the next
fiscal year.
Then there were new tax collection
numbers released before Thanksgiving by
the Department of Revenue.
General fund tax revenues were down
3.7 percent from the previous October and
2.8 percent year to year. Individual tax col-
lections were down 11.6 percent from the

previous October and 7.7 percent from the
previous year. Corporate taxes collected
were up 37.7 per cent for the month and
2.3 percent year to year.
Are lower individual income taxes
good or bad? It could be good if you think
its great when less money is sent to state
government. Coupled with the political
promises not to raise taxes, it means there
will be less government spending. Or will
it merely mean higher property taxes?
Much of state spending goes to help
finance schools and local government.
Those who promise lower property taxes
are counting on additional help from the
state. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers, who
heads the Department of
Public Instruction (DPI),
is seeking a $700 million
increase in state assistance in the next biennium.
He got a cool response
from two Re publican
leaders: Assembly SpeakMatt
er Robin Vos of RochesPommer ter and Marinettes Rep.
John Nygren, who is the
Assembly co-chair of the budget-writing
Joint Finance Committee.
We have a responsibility to provide
a great education to every child in Wisconsin and protect the interest of the
taxpayer, they said in a statement. It
is unfortunate that DPI doesnt put more
emphasis on the latter.
That sort of cheap shot didnt surface
in reaction to the DOT ideas, although
Republican State Sen. Alberta Darling
of Rivers Hills expressed doubts about
another $805 million in bonding for new
roads. As a group, Republican legislators
were largely mute on the new transportation funding ideas.

Craig Thompson, who heads the 43-yearold non-profit Wisconsin Transportation
Development Association, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he believed Gov.
Walker was involved in the development of
the ideas. The non-partisan association is
an advocacy group for a strong transportation infrastructure in the state.
Todd Barry, who heads the Wisconsin
Taxpayers Alliance, also a non-partisan
non-profit group, said the idea of using
general fund tax revenue to help pay for
transportation seems to conflict with the
idea that transportation spending and
revenues should stand alone.
Voters last month approved a constitutional amendment requiring that transportation revenues cannot be used to pay for
other state government programs.

However, the impact of job losses

and other negative repercussions would
outweigh the benefits, according to the
study, Raising Wisconsins Minimum
Wage: Who Would Be Helped? Who Would
Be Hurt?
We ask two fundamental questions:
Does the loss of jobs and opportunity
that would result from a higher minimum
wage outweigh the benefits of higher
wages for some? And is there a better way
to help the working poor? said Hanson.
The answer to both is an unambiguous
yes.
In non-binding referendums throughout the state on Nov. 4, a majority of
Wisconsin voters supported raising the
minimum wage from its current level
of $7.25 to $10.10 and some federal and
state lawmakers continue to push for an
increase. The authors encourage policymakers to take a fresh look at a different
way to target the working poor.
If you want to tackle the thorny
problem of poverty in America, a noble
goal, the minimum wage is an exceed-

It seems to me, if we are ever going

to end racism in this country, we have to
quit calling people by a label. I dont call
myself a Swedish/German American,
or a Lutheran American. Im just an
American as was my father. His father
could call himself an American because
he chose to be one after denouncing any
allegiance to the King of Sweden and
Norway.
When I served in the army in 1951-53,

it was less than three years after President Truman issued an executive order
ending segregation of the Armed Forces.
We were put together with AfricanAmericans and really didnt have any
problems. There was one incident which
could have been bad. We lived in a twostory barrack and the entire upper floor
was African-American. An extra four
were mixed in with the rest of us on the
ground floor. One day a fellow from St.
Paul, who I had entered the army with,
had just been shaving in the latrine. He
came back to his bunk, then realized he
had left his watch on the shelf above
the sink. When he went back to get it, it
was gone.
Keith immediately went to our platoon sergeant and told him his story.
The sergeant just happened to be an
African-American and immediately
called the entire barracks out for formation. He explained what had happened
and expected the guilty person to step
forward. It only took a few seconds and
one of the African-Americans, who was
bunking downstairs, stepped forward.
His explanation was, Sgt., I took it before someone could steal it. Keith got
his watch back and that was the end of it.
What did seem strange was the fact

that the 854th Company was all AfricanAmericans. They were all stevedores who
worked loading and unloading ships.
When they marched, they sometimes
had sort of a shuffle that seemed to be
unique. We were warned that we were
not allowed to try that. It was sort of
discrimination in reverse.
They did have a way of dealing with

the problem themselves. One of them,
I recall, was named Gibson. When one
would get angry with another for some
reason they would say, Man, yous black.
Man, yous blacker than Gibson. Gibson
never seemed to mind, it was just kind of
a joke with him.
Sad to say, when we all left the army

in March, 1953, and went back to our
homes, those from the south went back
to the same old discrimination they had
been experiencing for years.

We are down to the last page of the

calendar. Thanksgiving and the annual
deer hunt are behind us. Ahead are lots
of Christmas programs and parties that
need to be attended in keeping with the
holiday spirit.
As I gaze out the window, the day after
Thanksgiving, the ground is covered
with snow and the temperature is only a
few degrees above zero. It looks and feels
more like January than the last days of
November.
But spring is coming. I had my sixmonth checkup last week for my kidney
surgery from last year and the PA said
things look good. Well just schedule another check up in six months, she said.
That will make it May and how quickly
it will come.
I am not a lawyer and I did not attend

law school. However, over the years serving on jury duty, sitting on some court
cases and just observing, I seem to have
come up with a different view of what
happened in Ferguson, Miss., last week
than those who chose to demonstrate.
The important words that stand out
in my mind are beyond a reasonable
doubt. Those who disagreed with the
grand jury seem to have decided the
verdict before hearing all the evidence.
In hind sight, it is always easy to say
how things should have been done. I
would agree it was wrong for the county
prosecutor to have handled the grand
jury. Here in Wisconsin, if something
involves a police officer, the matter is almost always handled by another agency,
be it another police department or the
state patrol.
After three months of waiting, the
word came out at noon that the findings
were ready. However, for some unknown
reason, the actual release was not made
until eight oclock that night. Then instead of staying home to hear the report
many gathered in front of the police
station and worked themselves into a
bad mood.
It is a sad situation. A young man is
dead and a young mans career as a police
officer is also probably over. It is too bad
more of the information that came out
in the grand jury findings werent made
public sooner. We only heard that a young
unarmed man had been killed.
We did see the video tape of his actions
in the store where he stole some merchandise and his reaction to the person
in the store who tried to stop him. We
also knew this teenager, as he was often
called, was six foot six and weighed 290
pounds. Certainly not someone to be confronted with if he was in a disagreeable
mood, as he appeared to be in the video.

2/3 cup white sugar

2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 drop red food coloring, or as needed
1 drop green food coloring, or as needed
4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a bowl. Resift
again into another bowl.
Beat the butter with the brown and white sugars in a mixing bowl until light and
fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour mixture
until evenly blended. Gather the dough into a ball, and divide into two equal parts.
Place one half in a second bowl. Add red food coloring to the dough in one bowl, and
green food coloring to the dough in the other bowl. Use a fork or wooden spoon to
blend the food coloring into the dough until evenly blended. Add additional drops
of food coloring to make the desired shade.
Roll out the red dough to 1/4 inch (5mm) thickness. Roll out the green dough to
1/4 inch (5mm) thickness, and place on top of the red dough. Beginning on one edge,
roll the doughs to make a log so the two colors spiral inside each other. Wrap the log
in waxed paper, then in a cotton towel, and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
Unwrap the dough log, and place on a clean, lightly floured surface. Slice the
log into rounds 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, and place on prepared baking sheets.
Bake in preheated oven until set, 5 to 6 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent
edges from browning. Remove from oven, and cool on racks.

MARSHFIELD -- What would you say

to more than one million sparkling lights
shining in the night? How about breathtaking animated displays, horse drawn
rides, live entertainment and Santa?
All of this began Nov. 28, as the 9th annual Rotary Winter Wonderland opened to
the public at Wildwood Park and Zoo. The
light spectacular is open nightly from 5-9
p.m., through Dec. 31.
The annual Winter Wonderlands mission is to collect food and money to help
more than 23 food pantries throughout
central Wisconsin. In the past eight years,
Rotary Winter Wonderland has collected
more than 300,000 pantry items.
The Rotary Club of Marshfield makes
it happen, with a fantastic turnout of
volunteers who helped with the set up of
the Wonderland.
Each year seems to get bigger and
better, and this year several other local
events being held in tandem with Rotary
Winter Wonderland will provide the opportunity for family fun throughout the
entire month of December, said Dan
Knoeck, event chairman. And Mother
Nature is getting into the theme as well,
providing us with snow for our displays.
The central display features dozens of
animated songs, Knoeck said. And Santas
village has never sparkled brighter. There
will, of course, be Santa Claus, horsedrawn wagon rides, live entertainment
and activities for families and children.
Main attractions and events include:
-- You can walk or drive-through the
light displays.
-- Santa will visit every
night, starting this Friday
through Christmas Eve.
-- Animated displays and
holiday music.
-- Hot chocolate, cider

UW Health specialist
offers holiday health tips
MADISON -- Sugary treats are everywhere you turn.
Families and friends gather and expose each other to whats
going around. Despite these holiday inevitabilities, a UW
Health integrative medicine specialist says there are four
ways to put health on your side this holiday season. Dr.
David Rakel from the UW Health department of family
medicine offered these tips:
Take water-soluble fiber
Those sugar-sweetened holiday treats make you gain
weight and increase blood sugar levels. Fiber, like psyllium, ground flax seed, chia seeds and bran, when absorbed
by water slows down the absorption of sugar, said Rakel.
He says fiber should be taken about 30 minutes before a
meal.
Eat the rainbow and exercise
Rakel recommends a multi-color, whole-food, high-fiber
diet combined with activity. If you find yourself eating
lots of sugary treats, some activity or exercise can really
make a difference. Rakel says that exercise drives sugar
into muscle and keeps triglycerides, which store unused
calories in fat cells, in check.
R-E-L-A-X and keep a lid on stress
Rakel says the annual fight with your sister can make
your body vulnerable. The stress of a fight or other tension drives cortisol levels higher, says Rakel. Cortisol,
called the stress hormone, regulates blood pressure and
insulin release. When your body senses a threat, cortisol
levels increase causing your heart to beat harder and more
rapidly. Your breathing speeds up. It becomes even riskier
when youve had a big meal, says Rakel.
Prepare the sleep environment
Sleep is one of the foundations of health, says Rakel.
Rakel says that exercise, exposure to sunlight and sleeping in a cool environment stimulate melatonin production
These natural ways to stay healthy during the holiday
can help you avoid illnesses and weight gain.

Last county Deer Council meetings coming this month

The final County Deer Advisory Council meeting of 2014 will be held in each
county in December, and will provide the
public with an important opportunity to
provide input regarding each countys
deer population objectives before recommendations are advanced to the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources.
These objectives will guide deer management decisions for the next three years
-- the public is encouraged to attend and
participate in a local council meeting.
December meetings will be open to the
public for any additional comments as the
councils finalize their recommendations.
To view a meeting schedule, visit dnr.
wi.gov and search keyword CDAC. Clark
Countys meeting will take place on Dec.
15 at 7 p.m. at Loyal City Hall.
An online survey is also available
through Dec. 5 for those who are unable to
attend their countys meeting and would
like to provide feedback.
Preliminary recommendations, made

during October council meetings, suggested an increase, decrease or maintenance
in the local deer population. Councils
considered scientific deer metrics and
stakeholder and public opinion to develop
a preliminary population objective recommendation.
To develop a final recommendation,
each council will consider survey responses and professional opinions from department wildlife biologists, foresters and law
enforcement. Final population objective
recommendations will be presented to the
department following December council
meetings, after which they will be sent to

DNR wardens seek leads

in deer thrill killing case
The Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources, along with the Green Lake
County Sheriffs Office, is asking the
public to assist with a wildlife thrill
killing case.
On Saturday, Nov. 29, DNR Conservation Warden Nate Ackerman received
complaints of gun shots heard overnight,
northwest of Green Lake. Green Lake
sheriffs deputies working with Ackerman located seven dead whitetail deer in
various locations within a three-mile area
in the towns of Brooklyn and St. Marie.
At one site a buck, an adult doe and a doe
fawn were all found in the same field.
All of the deer were shot and left with
no obvious attempt to recover them.
On Saturday evening, DNR conservation wardens working in the area
overheard numerous gunshots. A short
time later, a Green Lake sheriffs deputy
attempted to stop a suspect vehicle. A
pursuit ensued during which the suspect crashed his vehicle. The adult male
driver, who was not injured, was taken
into custody.
Investigators believe that more deer
were illegally killed and that more individuals are involved. Ackerman commended Green Lake deputies for rapidly
responding and quickly locating suspects.
The warden said the wildlife shootings
under investigation bear no resemblance
to hunting.
During the annual nine-day gun deer
season, more than 600,000 licensed hunters take to the woods to enjoy Wisconsins
great outdoors and the fine traditions surrounding the annual deer hunt, Ackerman said. These hunters are ethical and
work hard to legally harvest a deer. This
appears to be a case of wastefully killing
wildlife without reason, an act which is
abhorrent to real hunters.

A Place called Fall Camp

Hello friends,
This week I am writing to you about my version of hunting camp and
what has evolved into The Red Brush Gang, deer camp.
Tuesday, Nov. 18 -- high, 22, low 6
Is it really November? I cannot remember the last time I saw 32 degrees,
you can ice fish and my firewood pile is taking a big hit, 40 days before
Christmas.
These are the thoughts that I had as I drove to new country which is
state land in northern Juneau County that is located about 10 miles from
The Red Brush Gangs shack.
This fall I trapped wolf and really covered some miles and something
that I learned is that in this part of Wisconsin, anyways, the whitetail deer
are in pockets, some here, none there!
While I was trapping muskrat, I saw a couple of my friends checking
traps one day and they told me about the place that I will be writing about
today, and for the next couple of weeks. I came in here last weekend with
my daughter, Selina, and Jamie Bistodeau and deer sign was plentiful.
Today, I carried a ladder stand over my left shoulder and a bow in my
right hand. My plan was to hunt in the stand this afternoon and then leave
it hidden in the woods for Selina to use.
My hike was half a mile and pretty physical. I was 30 yards from the
tree that we picked out for Selina, when a beautiful eight-point buck stood
up from its bed no more then 20 yards away and did not have a clue of
my presence.
Without the stand on my shoulder, he was in my freezer, buck on the pole.
By putting the stand down, I knew he would see movement and vanish. I
actually knocked an arrow with the ladder stand over my shoulder and then
decided it was a bad choice and watched the buck walk and then trot away.
At dark, I hiked back to my truck and drove to camp, which in this case is
a 26x38-foot portable pole barn that The Red Brush Gang built at my house
about eight years ago and comes in six-foot sections and each November
we put it up on public land.
Tonight, 48 hours before 16 members pull into camp and more come
and go as the season progresses, I was alone at camp and prepared a huge
meal for the first day of deer camp.
Each adult member cooks one day and has no more kitchen duties the
rest of the season. I have day one and made a big batch of scalloped potatoes and ham, a rice hot dish, with goose, wild turkey, moose and venison
in it and squash for a side dish. A large portion of this very tasty meal is
grown on my property or harvested while hunting.
The floor at deer camp is the earth. We have 17 bunks, five propane
lights, two wood stoves and four truckloads of dried firewood for the eternal
campfire and wood stoves.
At first it was cold, dark, and wet at camp. Moisture from snow had
condensated through the plastic tarp roof and everything was pretty wet.
Soon the wood stove and propane lights warmed the shack and I sat back
and enjoyed a cold beer.
This is my 43rd year at this camp that my father started and I have never
missed an opener. When I was a boy it was just dad, my brothers, Tom and
Mike, and shortly after my good buddy Jeff Moll. We stayed in a canvas
tent, generally froze our butts off and always had a blast.
When I had my life change back in 87 (I attempted to canoe up the
Mississippi River) I bought a 17-foot camper with my brother, Mike, and
that became deer camp.
The next year I stayed at what was now fall camp for 100 days and put
a wooden framed addition with plastic sheeting for the walls on the camper.
It was in this era that The Red Brush Gang started growing in a big
way, but for the most part almost everyone had the tie in of having gone
to Poynette High School.
I started writing this column that year for The Poynette Press and Fall
Camp was my home from mid September until mid January.
I had trails on the nearby marshes that I kept shoveled off and I would
ice skate at night and also cross country ski. I never skated or skied here
in the daylight. During the day I would sleep in, then either ice fish or
bowhunt, then I would skate and ski.
I was making ten bucks a week writing for the Poynette Press and Fall
Camp was a huge way to keep expenses down.
I have no cares about monster bucks. I like to harvest them but am plenty
happy with a fork horn and way happier at the dinner table.
These days it seems like most of my goals center around these girls
having a good hunt and the gang having a blast.
My goals are generally met! Sunset

Me? Shop on Black Friday? What are you smokin'?

Obviously not knowing I despise large crowds
as much as a vampire hates dazzling sunlight
(sometimes when I really want to stress a point
I pull out my make-believe monster analogies),
a lady asked me last night if I went shopping on
Black Friday. No, really, she did. With a straight
face. And she wasn't drunk, I don't think, at least
I hope not, 'cuz she was cutting my hair at the
time. Oh, well, as long as my sideburns are the
same length, no harm done.
Of course, the answer to her question was a
simple no, but I sort of emphasized it a bit by
snorting through my nose like an asthmatic feral
pig and tossing her an "Are you nuts!?!?" look
out of the corner of both eyes (which takes great
concentration, by the way). I proceeded to tell her
that I'd rather be dipped in melted lard and rolled
in bacon bits and set in a cage of underfed hyenas
than stand in line outside a department store to
buy an iPad for 15 percent off, but she turned on
her trimmer and buzzed the fuzz off the back of
my neck at the same time to effectively drown
out my rant. And here I thought she really cared.
Anyone who really cares about me -- or has
spent the longest 12 minutes of their life stuck
with me in a clinic waiting room, for that matter
-- knows that shopping and me go together like
Islamic terrorist suicide bombers and life insurance salesmen. I avoid going into malls and stores
and boutiques and markets at nearly all costs,
especially when they're open, and really don't care
if they're giving away 60-inch plasma television
sets or offering free perfume sample bottles to
the first 300 people who line up in the dark in
sub-zero weather to get a chance to sign up for
an Internet coupon for a 12 percent discount on a
new line of Calvin Klein clothing that hasn't even
been designed yet. Unless, maybe, it's skinny jeans.

I mean, as long as I can snap 'em below my pudge
point, I think I rock 'em pretty well. No, don't try
to picture it. There's really no pay-off.
Although there's already less than a zero percent
chance (a mathematical possibility for those of us
who think pi is best when warmed in the microwave and served with ice cream), further lessening
the likelihood of me being seen within long-range
Tomahawk missile distance of a store the day after
Thanksgiving is the complicating detail of it being
the seventh day of the 9-day Wisconsin deer hunting season, which is only slightly longer than this
sentence. Trust me, there is no bargain on this planet
that could convince me to leave the comfort of a
tree stand for the chaos of a Wal-Mart electronics
section with 30 percent discounts on PlayStation
27 consoles, unless somehow a 12-point buck with
a 21-inch outside spread is bedded down in the
women's lingerie aisle (hey, they don't get to be that
big by hidin' in the hunting section). I don't care if
it's 30-below and snowing and blowing and the snot
is frozen to my upper lip so hard it'll take surgery
to pry it off, I'd never leave the woods for anyplace
that has a combination of people, lines, marketable goods, cash drawers and shoppers. No, not all
shoppers are people, at least not by my definitions.
I've actually never been in a store on Black Friday
to witness the mayhem first-hand, but I've seen
television images of greedy throngs of shoppers
shoving past guards or tipping over barricades and
even fist-fighting with each other to get their hands
on the last "Tickle Me Elmo" for $21.50, although
that is a steal. After seeing that violence, that lusty
rage, it makes me glad that I'm off in a quiet forest
somewhere and just drilling a high-caliber bullet
through the vital organs of a docile mammal. I
THE

mean, geez, who wants to see all the blood and
carnage of a shopping mall, especially on the day
after Thanksgiving?
Black Friday also doesn't work very well for me
because it's scheduled for more than 48 hours prior
to Christmas. Oh, sure, I could do my shopping a
month before the holiday, when the selection of
products is at its best, but where would the stress
be in that? I prefer to wait way past Black Friday,
almost to the time when the red kettle people pack
it up and head home for Christmas Eve dinner, if
I can, and then start the annual routine of buying
gifts for family members who may or may not still
be alive (always save gift receipts in case that lump
on Uncle Walter's throat wasn't really an ingrown
hair). By that late in the shopping season, many
shelves are conveniently empty, so that sweater your
sister-in-law wants now comes only in black, which
matches her personality anyway. And yeah, so what
if she weighs more than an empty refrigerator and
there's just one "Small" left? She can use it for a
cankle warmer.
I think Black Friday is overrated anyway, just
a gimmick contrived by retail merchants to lure
unsuspecting peop ... oops, see there,

I almost said it ... I mean, shoppers, to
the stores in drooling droves for a few
advertised "door busters." I think, in
truth, there are no deals to be had, because the dollars you may have saved on
the remote-control airplane you bought
for your son just got added to the price
of the "Call of Duty: Black Ops" video
game you snagged for your husband (by
the way, ain't he ever gonna' grow up?)
Oh, yeah, and that Samsung Wireless
Remote Heated 6G Razr' WI-FI Droid
phone/electric razor that you just got
for 20 percent off, well, guess what, the Bargain
Barn Corp. just canceled its sponsorship of the
Feed the Starving Refugees Campaign so it could
afford to give you such a sweet price. Yeah? You
still feelin' good about playin' Candy Crush on that
new device while Abu Doobi and his pregnant wife
and nine kids eat Syrian refugee camp rat burgers
for dinner?
I suppose I should try to not judge those of you
who enjoy shopping in the frenzy of Black Friday,
for everyone has their own concept of pleasure.
For some, I imagine the feeling of getting that one
perfect gift for a loved one, that couldn't be afforded without the massive Black Friday discount,
is worth the waiting in line and the elbowing in
the aisles.
Me, well, I'm different, I don't like the delirium,
the fury, the panic when the crowd realizes the
supply of discounted gizmos is running low, the
push to get to the head of the line, the shoving, the
anger, the greed, the get-it-at-all-costs rage, the
violence, the bloodshed. No, I just prefer to kill
something that day. But that's just me.
Deer harvest and shooting accidents down this season

With new rule changes this year, deer
hunters throughout Wisconsin embraced
the excitement of another nine-day gun
deer season. A continued commitment
to safe hunting led to an all-time low for
recorded hunting incidents during the
nine-day season.
Deer hunters throughout the state
have been excellent partners in not only
learning new rules, but passing on traditions to youth and first-time hunters
out there in the woods, said Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp. As always, we put
safety first, and the efforts of hunters to
do the same led to a banner year for safe
hunting in Wisconsin.
Preliminary harvest summary
This years preliminary harvest figures indicate a total of 191,550 deer harvested. The overall buck harvest of 90,336
was down roughly 8 percent. Minnesota,
Illinois and Iowa have seen a similar
decline in overall harvest in 2014.
Kevin Wallenfang, DNR big game
ecologist, said the northeast and southern counties saw buck kills that were
virtually unchanged compared to 2013.
The largest decline in buck harvest figures was observed in the far northern
counties, where it decreased by 18 percent
compared to 2013. This area also saw a 58
percent decrease in antlerless harvest.
This was a designed reduction in antlerless harvest in an attempt to increase
deer numbers in the Northern Forest
Zone. Overall, statewide antlerless harvest saw a 21 percent decline from 2013.
Western counties saw a decrease in
buck harvest of roughly 8 percent, with
the bulk of the decline seen in counties
that are farthest north within the region
and/or counties that include portions of
the Central Forest Zone.
A breakdown of harvest by DNR
region and county<http://dnr.wi.gov/
topic/hunt/documents/20149day.pdf> is
available in portable document format

(pdf) on the DNR website.
Preliminary nine-day harvest numbers are collected through a call-around
survey of more than 600 deer registration
stations all across Wisconsin and likely
will increase when all registration tags
are officially counted.
Wisconsin sees all-time low for
recorded hunting incidents during
nine-day hunt
During the nine-day hunt, a total of
three confirmed shooting related incidents were reported -- this is an all-time
low.
Over one million hunters have attended a hunter education course since
1967, and with that many hunters knowing the firearm safety rules we will
continue to see a safer hunting tradition
in Wisconsin, said Jon King, DNR conservation warden and hunter education
administrator.
More than 28,000 students complete
the hunter safety program every year,
thanks to the work of more than 4,100
volunteer hunter education instructors.
Before the hunter education course
started, hunter fatalities during the season often reached double digits.
Hunters asked to participate in
Deer Hunter Wildlife and County
Deer Advisory Council Surveys
T h e D e e r H u n t e r Wi l d l i f e
Survey<http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/wildlifehabitat/wlsurvey.html> is still active
until the end of all deer seasons and
wildlife managers are asking hunters to
send in a report of what they saw during
the just completed nine-day gun hunt
and during any hunting trips they make
through the end of all deer hunting seasons. This information provides valuable
data biologists use to improve population
estimates for Wisconsins deer herds and
other species.
December County Deer Advisory
Council meetings will be open to the public for any additional comments as the
councils finalize their recommendations.
2014 license sales
The departments license sales office
reported 608,711 gun deer and 226,872
archer and crossbow (not including upgrades) licenses sold through midnight
on Nov. 30, which signaled the close of
the 2014 nine-day deer hunt. Deer license
and tag sales will continue through additional hunting seasons.
Approximately 38,000 licenses were
issued to hunters 12 years of age or older
who were purchasing a license to hunt
deer for the first time, or to those hunting for the first time in 10 years. Female
deer hunters have continued to increase
in number, and accounted for 35 percent

of adults and 36 percent of juniors who
purchased a first time resident gun deer
license.
Additional deer hunting opportunities continue through December
There are additional opportunities to
hunt deer in Wisconsin after the close of
the nine-day season. The muzzleloader
season is currently open through Dec. 10.
The late archery season is also underway
and continues until Jan. 4, 2015. There is
also a Central Forest and Central Farmland antlerless hunt from Dec. 11-14,
and a Southern Farmland Zone Holiday
Hunt, which runs from Dec. 24 through
Jan. 5, 2014.
Weight gain not a holiday requirement

The holidays offer many opportunities
to enjoy special, once-a-year foods and
treats. But if youre trying to maintain
a healthy weight, navigating the sometimes calorie-laden season may pose a
challenge.
Gayle Coleman, University of Wisconsin-Extension nutrition education
specialist, encourages people to enjoy
their food, but take smaller portions.
Take a small portion of favorite foods
that may be high in calories or salt and
enjoy each bite, she says.
One way to reduce portion sizes is by
using a smaller plate, bowl or glass, and
serving spoon, says Coleman. It makes
smaller portion sizes seem larger.
Beth Olson, UW-Extension nutritional
sciences specialist says research shows
that the typical holiday weight gain is not
as large as popularly believed, probably
averaging around one pound.
However, Olson says there is evidence
that people who are already overweight,
or who have lost a good deal of weight
in the past, may be more susceptible to

dietary changes over the holidays when
food is more readily available.
Busy holiday schedules may also contribute to weight gain by making it more
difficult to find time for regular exercise
and physical activity.
If a holiday buffet or potluck is in
your future, be aware that when a greater
variety of foods is offered, people tend
to eat more. The potluck or the buffet
with many high-calorie foods may set
the stage to take in extra calories, says
Olson.
Both Coleman and Olson suggest taking a mindful approach to eating during
the holidays and throughout the year.
Think before you eatis it worth the
calories? says Coleman. Stop eating
when you are satisfied, not full.
Make time for healthy activity in spite
of a hectic holiday schedule. Bundle up
for a walk with a friend, go dancing or
ice skating or treat the dog to an extra
trip around the block.
