season, and that was the case in Taylor County as well,
where the numbers of bucks and anterless deer registered took sizable jumps.
The states Department of Natural Resources reported
a preliminary statewide kill of 204,725 deer during the
season, which ran Nov. 21-29, up from 199,583 deer killed
during the nine-day season a year ago.
For the second straight week, the department has had
problems uploading harvest totals to its website, which
was supposed to be one of the perks for going to electronic
registration this season. County-by-county preliminary
totals still were not available at press time Wednesday afternoon. Under the previous system where DNR wildlife

The average homeowner in the city of Medford will pay about $100 more in their overall
property taxes this year compared to last year.
Members of the Medford city council Tuesday night approved the aggregate property tax
rate of $26.11 per $1,000 of assessed value. With
the new tax rate, the owners of a $100,000 home
will pay $2,611.34 in property taxes in 2016, up
$97.68 from what they paid in 2015.
The actual city portion of the tax rate accounts for about 29.5 percent of the overall
tax bill. The aggregate rate includes the assessments for the state, technical college district, county, and school district. About 35.7
percent of the property tax bill goes to the city
residents portion of the school taxes with the
countys portion at 33.5 percent.

Aspirus Volunteers
light up the
holidays with love
Aspirus Volunteers-Medford will host its 19th annual Lites of Love tree-lighting ceremony on Monday, Dec.
7, beginning at 5 p.m. in the hospitals welcome center.
As in the past, the bright lights symbolic of thoughts
and memories of loved ones will illuminate the tree
throughout the holiday season.
Since 1996, monies raised through the Lites of Love
scholarship fund have financially supported over 75
high school graduates pursuing healthcare careers.
Wisconsin continues to face a shortage of physicians and other healthcare personnel, said Jo Henrichs, Lites of Love co-chair. We feel it is important
to find ways to provide financial support to students
who express interest in medical careers. The Lites of
Love program does this and pays tribute to families and
loved ones at the same time.
This year, fourth-grade students were invited to
participate in an essay contest about what their local
hospital means to them and their families, said Char
Drolshagen, Lites co-chair. The entries we received
were a delight to read. We look forward to having the
finalists read theirs aloud at the tree-lighting ceremony
on Monday.
The Lites of Love ceremony will be officiated by
Gregg Olson, Aspirus Medford Hospital & Clinics president/CEO, and Rev. Kris A. Bjerke-Ulliman of Our Saviors Lutheran Church (Holway). During the program,
members of Boy Scout Troop 536 will be present to represent and pay tribute to fallen military personnel and
the Medford Red Express will provide musical selections. The Lites of Love program is open to the public
and refreshments will be served.
For more information about volunteer activities at
Aspirus Medford Hospital, please call Volunteer Services at 715-748-8789 or visit: www.aspirus.org/volunteers

Only a few members of Jump River Electric Cooperative take an interest in the dealings of the co-op.
As a result, some on the board have been overspending at the expense of members in their monthly bills.
At the member appreciation days, another gentleman
and I handed out flyers about the exorbitant earnings
of our elected board compared to other nearby electrical co-ops. The earnings are public and obtained online
from JRECs 990 form. The president of the board, Ed
Wollwert, promised me that any information, including
board spending, would be made available upon request.
This week several members of the co-op went into the
Ladysmith JREC office and were told that JREC attorney, Mr. Weld, instructed the employees not to distribute any requested information until after the next
board meeting. This is the same attorney that instructed JREC VP Steve Truver to call the police and have
me arrested for distributing flyers at the appreciation
day in Hayward. I asked the attorney if he represented
JREC or the board and he replied, I dont have to give
you answers.
Contact the board and demand answers: Jane Reich,
Phil Kaiser, Art Thompson, Jerry Carow, Steve Truver,
Larry Kagigebi, Al Kiwazek, and Ed Wollwert. Ask
what Ed Wollwert and his friends on the board are hiding by delaying information requests. Why cant we
know how they are spending our money? Why are there
no approved board minutes since January 2015? What
are they changing? Demand answers!

Medford wrestling features solid core, but still on the young side
by Sports Editor Matt Frey
With two returning state qualifiers
and a solid junior class, the Medford
wrestlers are optimistic theyll have an
improved season over last year when the
team was unable to capture a dual-meet
win in the Great Northern Conference.
Health, as always, will play a factor in
Medfords ability to fill the lineup card.
How strong that lineup will be could depend on how quickly some youngsters
adjust to varsity-level competition.
Head coach Tran Brooks said 20 wrestlers initially came out for the sport when
the season started on Nov. 16. As always,
there will be some lost along the way. A
weight class or two still will go unfilled
at times as the Raiders have depth at
some weights and none at all at others.
As always it will depend on the
matchups, Brooks said Tuesday.
Where do we have good matchups? Not
getting pinned, of course, is always important. Injuries are always a big thing.
We have to stay away from injuries because we dont have a whole lot of depth.
The 2015-16 Raiders will make their
debut on Saturday when they compete
in the Stratford dual-meet invitational.
Medford will wrestle Chippewa Falls,
Wautoma-Wild Rose, Chequamegon and
Phillips as well as the host Tigers, who
should be a Division 3 force this year
as they bring back four individual state
champions.
Medford goes to the Amherst Invitational the following Saturday before
hosting Tomahawk on Dec. 17 in the
GNC and home opener.
The Raiders hopes are bolstered by
the return of two state qualifiers from
last February and two more sectional
qualifiers.
Senior Tucker Peterson and sophomore Kolten Hanson look to build on
their 40-win seasons from a year ago
that ended at the Kohl Center in Madison. Peterson won a match at state in
the 152-pound weight class and finished

Inexperience once again the key word for boys swim team
by Sports Editor Matt Frey
Following the departure of 10 senior
swimmers, eight of whom were letter
winners, the Medford Raiders are back
in the familiar position of looking to
newcomers to fill the void in the pool this
winter.
Not only are new swimmers a big part
of this years equation, but theres a new
head coach leading the troops as well.
Shari Bergman, who just led the Medford
girls to a successful season at the middle
school level in the fall, has taken over
the team, which starts the year with 11
members.
Just four of those swimmers return
from last years team, which won one
dual meet and finished sixth in the Great
Northern Conference.
Theres definitely talent in the new
swimmers, Bergman said last week.
We immediately started our season
with some great workouts, which will obviously increase to longer yardage in the
upcoming weeks. The guys have great
attitudes. If they remain focused for the
big picture, theyll have a successful season.
The Raiders 2015-16 season began
Tuesday with a 124-34 loss at Lakeland,
who again projects to be one of the strongest teams in the GNC. Medford travels
to the other recent GNC power, Shawano, tonight, Thursday. The Raiders go to
Tomahawk on Dec. 10.
The teams home opener is Dec. 15
against Antigo at 5:30 p.m.
The four returning swimmers are letter winners Lane Ruch, Preston Gingras
and Matt Reuter, as well as sophomore
Brendan Griesbach.
Ruch, a senior, is the teams go-to
three first-team All-GNC swimmers, including standout Zach Soper, who won
the WIAA Division 2 state 100-yard backstroke title and took second in the 100yard butterfly. Lakeland, the 2015-16 runner-up, lost state qualifiers Nick Garcia
and Nate Kellner, but return state experience with swimmers like senior Evan
Andrews and sophomore Jack Garcia.
Antigo placed third in the GNC with
a very young squad, led by state-experienced senior Collin Koss. Rhinelander
should be a contender too as three of its
statebound swimmers from a year ago
are back. Medfords only win was a 75-73
win at Rhinelander. Tomahawk returns
a couple of All-GNC award winners.
This years conference meet is set for
Friday, Feb. 5 at Tomahawk. Dual-meet
wins count for one point in the standings
this season. Those point totals combined
with point totals earned in the conference meet will determine the overall
champion.
Our goals are to remain strong and
confident, tweak the little things, finish
the season with all personal-best times
and have some fun along the way, Bergman said. They need to remember that
hard work and team work does and will
pay off in the end.

Devyn Schoonover and Morgan Reinwand scored 16 apiece and the Loyal
Greyhounds rolled to a 62-27 home win
over the Gilman Pirates in an Eastern
Cloverbelt girls basketball game on
Tuesday, Nov. 24.
Gilman was down only nine with
eight minutes left in the first half, but
Loyals depth and speed wore down the
Pirates, who were outscored 40-14 over
the remaining 28 minutes, including 23-7
in the second half.
The loss drops Gilmans record to 1-1.
Theyll be at Colby (1-2) Friday, Dec. 4,
for a 7:30 p.m. clash with the Hornets in
another East game. Loyal sits atop the
league with a 2-0 record.
We had some rushed decisions. They
played very fast on defense and have
quick guards. Theyre very versatile in
what they can do, Pirates head coach
Robin Rosemeyer said.
Loyal was on the board after six seconds when Ryleigh Wilke took an inside
pass from Schoonover and scored a layup. Gilmans Morgan Birkenholz was
pick-pocketed on the next possession
and Reinwand went the distance for another layup. The Greyhounds would run
their lead to 16-4 with 11 minutes left in
the half.
The Pirates rallied for nine of the next
14 points, sparked by a three-pointer
from Camryn Skabroud with 10:43 until
the break. Kayla Chause, Katelyn Monson and Cooper Sherfield had the other
baskets during Gilmans mini-run. The
Pirates shot a robust .600 (9-15) in the
first half, but Loyal took advantage of 20
Gilman turnovers to head into halftime
with a 39-20 lead.
We played with them fairly evenly
for a ten minute stretch. Then we startedthrowing the ball away and they got
some easy transition points, Rosemey-

Breaking through
Wisconsin junior Dare Ogunbowale (middle) runs through the tackle of Minnesotas Cody Poock in the first half of Saturdays Axe Game at TCF Bank Stadium.
ert and defensive back Tanner McEvoy
among the main reasons Minnesotas offense was out of sync. Schobert finished
with five total tackles, one forced fumble
and an interception, while McEvoy corralled two picks.
The Badgers punted on six of their
nine second half possessions. Another
ended on a missed field goal. Wisconsins
only points of the second half came on
a Rafael Gaglianone 46-yard field goal,
after a Leidner interception, at the 8:27
mark of the third quarter.
Minnesota made it a two-possession
game when Leidner hit Drew Wolitar-
Minnesotas Mitch Leidner (far left) had four crucial turnovers (one fumble, three
interceptions). Right, Alex Erickson led the Badgers with six catches for 66 yards.
Wisconsin had the right idea on Saturday - just let Joel Stave hand it off.
Rivalries are supposed to be competitive. It doesnt matter either teams records going into the game, you know its
going to be close. The contest for Paul
Bunyans Axe cant really be called a rivalry anymore.
Its been 12 years since Minnesota won
the Axe. Average margin of victory over
that period - 15.6 points. Since the inception of the Axe, Wisconsin holds a decisive advantage in the series, 40-24-3. Minnesota actually leads the all-time series,
59-58-8, but most of those wins came in
the first half of the 20th century when the
Gophers were a collegiate powerhouse. If
I told you Minneosta has won seven national championships, would you believe
me? That was a long time ago.
Wisconsin is entrentched as one of the
premier programs in the Big Ten. Minnesota is not. For a school as large as the U,
it stings.
During my first two years at Minnesota, I tried to get to as many football games
as I could. I had student season tickets
and loved the atmosphere of college football games. My junior year I decided to
not bother with tickets, instead focusing
on internships and other career-building
endeavors.
By the time my senior year rolled
around, I was juggling two part-time jobs
and a full class load. Going to football
games on Saturdays was the last thing
on my mind. Id be lying if I said the constant losing didnt at least partly affect
Behind
the Numbers
Bryan Wegter
my decision.
Id love to see Minnesota rise again
and become a power in the Big Ten. The
conference would be better off for it.
Jerry Kill has pointed things in the right
direction.
We still dont know who the permanent athletic director will be, but whoever it is, man or woman, theyre going to
be instrumental in getting the program
to take the next steps back to relevance.
Making Tracy Claeys the permanent
head coach was a good move. Hes the
right man to keep pushing the team down
the path Kill set it on four-plus years ago.
As for Saturdays game, the Gophers
will rue their best chance to take back
the Axe in a long time. This years Wisconsin team has been up and down. And
with the Badgers coming off a dreadful performance against Northwestern
the week prior, Minnesota had to have
thought this was the year they got the
Axe back. Four turnovers from Mitch
Leidner said otherwise.
His opposite, Joel Stave, was by no
means prolific through the air. He made
the one bad mistake, but otherwise
stayed out of the way and let his powerful running backs do the rest.

My 14-year-old daughter, Selina Walters, has her
very own food plot. We both hunt it during the turkey
season and it is all Selinas for bow season, until today.
We put a lot of time, sweat and creativity into our alfalfa, corn, turnips and radishes.
The local deer population loves eating them, but as
our trail cameras and Selinas hunts have been revealing this fall, most of the deer are in the plot after dark.
The beauty of Selinas food plot is that she can hunt after school and the few weekends she is home.
A typical bow hunt for Selina consists of her becoming very comfortable in her ladder stand and reading
while watching the world around her.
Today, I hunted the food plot for the first time this
fall. As soon as I was in the stand a steady rain began
that would last for the next 36 hours. I did not see a deer
until I was climbing down from the stand and I was
thoroughly busted when that happened.

A little 36-hour trip to deer camp for a duck hunt, a
bow hunt and to prepare a very large meal was next on
my agenda.
The duck hunt was a 100-percent mind over matter
issue. It was pouring out, extremely windy and I was
going to have to paddle my canoe a good mile to duck
paradise. Back in the 80s and 90s, I had some pretty
good duck hunts on what is a flowage for a cranberry
marsh. It has been probably five years since I paddled a
canoe on it and the last few hunts did not require many
shotgun shells.

Everyone has their own version of deer camp and
mine is an 18-foot by 36-foot portable pole barn put on
public land each November and taken down the last day
of deer gun season.
I love it here and actually say that to myself when I
am at camp alone.
Today, I cooked, drank coffee and then headed out to
the woods for a three-quarter mile hike with a bow and
arrow and a tree stand. Here in Wisconsins central forest, if you strap on hip boots and hike in a ways, you
have bow hunting all to yourself.
As usual,l I was running late on the sun clock, which
was actually blocked out by clouds. My stand is hung
where I have seen some beautiful bucks this year. After hanging my stand, I climb down to get my bow and
something is missing all five of my arrows.
I had traveled through some dense brush and began
backtracking. Naturally my arrows were at the very beginning of my hike.
As you can see, hunting is certainly not always about
dropping ducks and harvesting bucks.
I love this place!

Before donating, check to see if
the charity is registered with DFI.
If contacted by phone, avoid being pressured to make an immediate donation. Dont hesitate to ask the caller to
send you information about the organization and its programs.
Ask a solicitor to explain the
purpose of the organization, what services are provided, how much of the
donation goes to fund-raising expenses,
whether the donation is tax-deductible,
and whether you will be sent a receipt.
Donate to charities that you
trust and are well-established.
To trick consumers into making donations, scammers will often use
names and websites that are similar to
those of better-known, reputable organizations. Watch the spelling closely.
Be wary of unsolicited requests
for donations, especially ones received
via the Internet.
Criminals know that many people make year-end charitable contributions for tax purposes, so they may use
that as a tool in locking down a payment.
Never write out a check or give
