Silver seasonAlas, all good things must come to an end, as the Spencer-Columbus football team’s string

of 13 straight wins concluded on Nov. 19 in the WIAA state Division 5 championship game at

Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. The Rockets fell 42-0 to an undefeated and highly-skilled Amherst team that was making its second

straight appearance in a state title game. The state title game was the fi nal one in the careers of 13 Rocket seniors, who led this year’s squad to the fi rst-ever championship appearance for the Spencer-Marshfi eld Columbus cooperative football program since it began in 2002. It was

the second title game appearance for a Spencer fooball team. The other was in 1982, in a loss to Osseo-Fairchild. For more coverage of the title

game, please see this week’s sports pages.

An emotional Spencer-Columbus head coach Jason Gorst addresses his team after the Nov. 19 state championship game loss to Amherst.

By Kevin O’BrienClark County’s board of supervisors

will have to decide at their next meeting if they want to ask the state Supreme Court to review an appeals court ruling issued earlier month that says the county must pay the town of Hoard a fi re protection fee as the owner of a health care center located in the township.

In a Nov. 12 decision, Wisconsin’s District 4 Court of Appeals rejected the county’s ar-gument that the fee is actually a tax and that a fee can only be charged when fi refi ghting services are actually rendered. The decision affi rmed a ruling by Clark County Circuit Court Judge Jon Counsell, who granted Hoard’s request for summary judgement in February.

Clark County corporation counsel Jacob Brunette said Monday the board will likely meet in closed session at its Dec. 9 meeting

to weigh its options for seeking a supreme court review.

“I’m not sure what I’m going to recom-mend at this point,” he said. “There are pros and cons to every case.”

The county argued that Hoard’s fee is really a tax, and counties are exempt from such taxation under state law. The township contends that it followed state law in setting a written fee schedule for assessing charges against property to raise the necessary funds to equip and man a fi re department.

The town of Hoard filed suit against Clark County in July 2014 after the county refused to pay that year’s fi re protection bill of $3,328.

The appeals court agreed with the town-ship, citing case law that defi nes the differ-ence: “The primary purpose of a tax is to obtain revenue for the government, while the primary purpose of a fee is to cover the

expense of providing a service...” Hoard’s annual contribution to the

Owen-Withee-Curtiss Fire Department was $24,500 in 2014, and the town board’s ordinance divides that expense among all property owners based on a formula that takes into account square footage and use of the property.

The appeals court was satisfi ed that the fee would only be used to cover the actual cost of fi re protection and not be used to raise revenue for local government, which would make it a tax.

In its appeal of Counsell’s decision, the county ignored the legal criteria for distinguishing between a tax and a fee and wrongly interpreted case law, the appeals court ruled.

The appeals court also agreed with Coun-sell in saying the county relied on outdated statutory language to back its assertion that

it should only have to pay for fi re services rendered, not just services made available.

Prior to 1988, state statutes only allowed townships to assess a fee for “fi re calls made to the property,” while current law allows fees to be charged for the cost of “fi re protec-tion provided.”

Brunette argued that the changes in statutory language did not amount to change in how fees can be assessed, but the appeals court disagreed. The difference be-tween “fi re calls made” and “fi re protection provided” is signifi cant, the court reasoned.

“The presence of a fi re district standing by ready to extinguish fi res constitutes a fi re protection service for which a service fee may be assessed,” the court concluded.

In addition to the $3,328 and any appli-cable interest, Counsell ordered the county to pay the township’s costs incurred in the litigation.

Jobs issues continue to cause headaches

A corporate decision to close the Oscar Mayer plant in Madison has cre-ated new embarrassment for the Walker administration’s job efforts.

The Wisconsin Economic Develop-ment Corp. (WEDC), the public-private agency created in the early days of Walk-er’s fi rst term, seemed fl at-footed when Kraft Heinz announced the closing. It will affect nearly 1,000 workers, includ-ing 650 unionized blue collar workers.

Other states had been in contact with Kraft Heinz, which owns Oscar Mayer, as the corporation studied changes in its meat-processing plants. Top WEDC offi cials said local governments should notify it when a company is talking about leaving Wisconsin.

Reporters questioned Mark Hogan, the new chief executive offi cer at WEDC, on why the agency didn’t reach out to Heinz Kraft before the plant closing was announced. Hogan seemed to sidestep the questions, saying, “It’s what we say we do, and we should make sure we’re re-focused on it and learn from everything that happens.”

Walker, who developed the WEDC approach in early 2011, spent much of the summer in a futile effort to win the Republican nomination for president of the United States. A Marquette Univer-sity poll in mid-summer showed many people wanted Walker to focus on being governor rather than being a candidate for national offi ce.

In the 2010 gubernatorial election Walker had promised to create 250,000 private sector jobs in four years. Wiscon-sin fell far short of the quarter million

jobs. The Republican-controlled Leg-islature and Walker created WEDC as the linchpin in the job-creation efforts, replacing the Commerce Department, a state agency. Critics have questioned the haste in creating WEDC in the spring of 2011.

The agency has been plagued by a high turnover of top officials. In early November three vice presidents resigned, including its latest chief fi nan-

cial offi cer. There have been five top financial offi cers in just over four years.

Controversy also has followed the award of some of the WEDC grants to private compa-nies. The Legislative Au-dit Bureau this spring issued a sharply critical report on how WEDC had operated. Later it conceded making $126 million in awards to 28

companies without getting a written staff review prior to making the awards which occurred between 2011 and 2013.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wi., recently ask federal offi cials to examine three loans made by WEDC.

One $500,000 loan was made to a struggling Milwaukee construction fi rm whose owner had been a major donor to Walker’s political campaigns. A Walker cabinet member had urged WEDC to make the loan.

The Wisconsin State Journal has re-ported the company owners apparently

This month Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said he will meet with Democrats about possible changes in the state’s job creation efforts. He doesn’t need their votes to change WEDC. Gerrymandered districts vir-tually guarantee GOP control of both houses of the Legislature through 2020.

Vos might harbor ambitions of being governor. Bipartisan reform of Walker’s job creation efforts could be a political plus for him.

Winner and loser? Not in this case - Tribune Record Gleaner - Wednesday, November 25, 2015 OPINION

When does an individual, or a team, actually win even when they lose? When they have played the game admirably, when they have done everything in their control to win, but then accept the outcome even when they do not, that is when they are winners, regardless of any fi nal score.

The Spencer and Marshfi eld Columbus communities are winners in our book, by the way they conducted themselves all through the just-completed high school football season, and especially at the Nov. 19 WIAA Division 5 state championship game in Madison. No, the fi nal score of the game against Amherst was not what they wanted, but the folks in Spencer red and Columbus blue understood that the better team had proven victorious this day, and there was still so much of which to be proud.

Rocket head coach Jason Gorst re-minded his still red-eyed players in the end zone after the game that they ac-complished much this season, that they have every reason to walk proudly even after coming out on the short end of a 42-0 championship game score. Should they be embarrassed? Absolutely not -- hun-dreds of teams and thousands of players across the state would have given much to have been in their shoes last Thursday.

The fact that no Spencer football team had been to a state title game in 33 years attests to how diffi cult it is to reach such a place. The current play-ers should realize they accomplished a once-in-a-generation goal, and that their exploits on a 100-yard-long fi eld of grass this fall energized an entire community -- no, make that two communities. And that has been another remarkable part of the Rockets’ story this year, that student/athletes from two distinct com-munities could come together to make some-

Johnson: ISIS threat ‘real ... growing’

thing special happen. Lifetime friends, lifetime memories, have been made.

Something that struck us as we have followed this Spencer-Columbus team over the past two seasons (the 2014 run ended in a Level 3 playoff game) is how professionally the entire program has been run. From Coach Gorst and his staff we have heard no sideline complaining, no chastisement of referees for poor calls, no admonishment of players for mistakes. The coaching staff has been a model of tact and sportsmanship, and in so being has taught every player on the roster that the way to conduct oneself in all of life’s endeavors is in a positive manner. The Rockets have shown respect to all opponents -- those they defeated and the one they could not -- and played fairly and within the rules.

We are impressed at the beginning of each Spencer-Columbus game, when no player is introduced individually by name, but the team is announced as a whole. That’s a great lesson to introduce at the high school level, so all players know that they will always be part of something larger than themselves. Sure, they are recognized when they score a touchdown or intercept a pass, but they know their accomplishment is but a contribution to a team.

It’s always diffi cult to see your team lose, especially when they come so near the pinnacle of their sport. But really, there was no loser on the Camp Randall Stadium turf last Thursday evening, just one team that scored more points on a given day. The Spencer-Columbus football program, as well as the two com-munities that so tremendously supported

it -- are all winners, for the great season they had, but more so for the honorable and respect-able way in which it was played.

Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and the Senate Homeland Security and Govern-mental Affairs Committee held a hearing on Nov. 19 on ISIS’ threat to the United States and its impact on refugee resettle-ment. “We need to understand the threat that we face -- it is real and it is growing,” Johnson said in his opening remarks.

Johnson is the Senate sponsor of bicam-eral legislation that requires supplemental certifi cations and background investiga-tions on certain refugees before they are admitted into the United States. The bill passed the House on Nov. 19 on a veto-proof bipartisan majority.

The Nov. 19 Senate hearing included testimony from Ann Richard, assistant secretary for population, refugees and migration at the U.S. Department of State, and Leon Rodriguez, director of U.S. Citi-zenship and Immigration Services at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Johnson said beforehand that the hear-

ing was intended to lay out the reality of the refugee situation and exactly what safeguards the government is using to vet refugees. After the hearing, he noted that Rodriguez testifi ed his agency expects a 21 percent increase in its caseload this fi scal year and a 43 percent increase in 2017.

“I would be concerned that their man-agement solution to that would be to streamline the process,” he said. That’s why the proposed legislation requires a meaningful certifi cation that federal agen-cies follow agreed-on procedures.

“That gives the American public the faith that we’re not going to short-circuit the vetting process,” Johnson said.

Richard and Rodriguez, for their part, admitted that the American people need answers when it comes to our refugee vet-ting process.

“The questions you have asked of us are ones that we needed to be asked,” Ro-driguez said.

Another week, another early copy dead-line. This time it is for the Thanksgiving Day holiday. It should be an easy week for writing about things to be thankful for.

Certainly the weather can be some-thing to be thankful for. Sure, it is colder, lots colder today than it was yesterday, but is it a record to have 18 days in November, all above normal? We are now two-thirds through fall and in another month we enter the season of winter. Spring comes next.

Today has certainly been a day of changes. First it was cloudy, then the sun peeked out and right now I see the air fi lled with snow fl urries. The prediction is that there won’t be enough snow for tracking, but as I see the current deer hunting practices, hunters don’t need snow anyway. They just sit in their deer blinds, or whatever you call them, and wait. And wait. That is not the kind of condition I recall, but my memory goes back 60 years or more. A lot of other things have changed, too.

We should also be thankful for a sum-mer when I don’t recall one severe weather warning. While the weatherman may tell us we had above normal moisture, it appears from the harvest that it was just about right. And what a fall for harvest. There are still a few fi elds of corn left to be picked but I understand it was a bumper crop. That should help for the past two years when the harvest didn’t measure up to expectations.

I can be thankful for a year of good health. In some respects, not as good as I like them, but at our age we should be thankful to just be around. Along with that, we are thankful that the required number of trips to the clinic have dropped this year. It even gets necessary to make a few trips to Marshfi eld just to pick up some medicine. Generally, we can tie it to a trip to the clinic and kill two birds with one stone. A little thing, but little things add up.

Along with our health, soon comes an-other trip south to avoid a couple months of ice and snow. It was just a week ago, while reading in my diary, I had made mention of falling on the wet snow in the backyard. Thankfully, all that resulted, as Dean Lesar would say, I hurt my cheek and not the one on my face either.

Right now, the world news gives a lot to be desired. Then again, I am thankful to be living in an area of the world which seems far removed from all the turmoil. Once again, I wish I had studied world

history a little better so I could perhaps understand why there is all the fi ghting, killings and threats against one another. Now it seems to have even touched mem-bers of Congress who are reacting in a moment of haste and forgetting situations similar in the past, which make us hang our heads in shame.

While it is the traditional time to give thanks, we all ought to remember every day the things we have to be thankful for. If we were to make a list, the good things would certainly outweigh the bad.

I wrote last week about our cat and how I had come to name her Maple Syrup after our great grandchildren decided to call their cat Peanut Butter.

We’ve had a number of cats through the years and others have had strange names too. When we lived in Turtle Lake, at one time we had two cats. One we called Grey Cat and the other was Dumb Cat.

Then the last cat we had was called Shanna. She actually was Sue’s cat, but she lived 19 years, which naturally meant we got to give her a lot of care after Sue was off to school and into her own life.

She came a few weeks after we had an ordeal where we had to put our pet dog to sleep. He had started biting a few people, including our one-year-old grand-daughter.

I had the duty of holding her while the vet administered the shot. When I came home, I informed the whole family to not put me through such an ordeal again.

Then came Shanna. It was our daugh-ter, Sue, who begged, “Please Honey Daddy, can I have a kitty? Please Honey Daddy.” What was I to say. When the truth fi nally came out years later, it was our daughter, Jackie, who coaxed Sue into making the plea.

As I mentioned, Maple Syrup came wandering into our house one night. Well, actually she had been hanging around, fi rst at our patio door in the evenings and then at the front door in the morning.

I wonder sometimes about her previous life, as she doesn’t like to be held, but does love to lay on our laps for hours at a time. She naps a lot, but generally someplace out of sight.

She is also afraid of loud noises and apparently the vacuum cleaner is one of them. The other morning I had put the vacuum cleaner in the living room, in-tending to use it later. Later that morning I found her in the shower, sleeping on top of the shower chair. She was just as far away as she could get from the vacuum cleaner.

MADISON -- Badger taxpayers have some good news this holiday season, according to the Wis consin Taxpayers Alliance (WISTAX). In analyzing U.S. Census figures just released for 2013 [these data always lag two years], the nonpartisan research organization found state-local taxes here claimed 10.9 percent of income and ranked 15th, the lowest they’ve been since tax collec-tions were depressed during the 2007-09 recession. If various government fees are added to taxes, the state’s rank was even lower at 18th.

WISTAX found that the Badger State ranked lower than new federal data ini-tially suggested. Ac cording to Census figures, Wisconsin taxes claimed 11.3 percent of income and ranked 11th high-est, up one notch from 2012. However, since at least 2009, federal offi cials had been double-counting some property tax credits. Correcting for the technical er-ror, WISTAX found the state ranked 15th in 2013 -- and not 11th.

The only individual tax affected was the property tax, which the Census thought claimed 4.4 percent of income

and placed 7th, which would have been the highest ranking in over a decade. In reality, after the WISTAX correction, the burden was actually 3.9 percent of income, and 10th among the states.

Besides the property tax, Wisconsin’s other high-ranking tax is the individual income tax, which claimed 3.0 percent of income and also ranked 10th. Both taxes were about 18 percent to 22 percent above national averages.

The state’s other two major taxes are on retail sales and corporate income. The sales tax burden was 2.0 percent of income and 34th highest. The corporate income tax claimed 0.4 percent and ranked 16th.

In its new Focus newsletter, “New

Census Tax Figures: Wisconsin Tax Rank Lower Than Thought,” WISTAX points out that this imbalance in the state’s approach to fi nancing public ser-vices explains high in come and property taxes. Not only are sales taxes below av-erage, the state also ranks relatively low in receipt of federal aid (36th) and user fees (26th), which puts added pressure on the state’s two main taxes.

JEFF AND CINDY KOLZOW AND FAMILY sincerely thank the Colby FFA and Christ Lutheran Church, Abbotsford, for organizing the benefi t for Zachary Kolzow in September. We have been overwhelmed by the generous support of the communities, businesses, friends and family during this journey. Your thoughtfulness and prayers have been greatly appreciated!

CARD OF THANKS

COLBY -- With the fi rst major snow-storm expected to blanket the region during the next couple days, one seasonal tool is expected to make its return at homes and businesses -- the shovel.

To help letter carriers deliver the mail, the Postal Service is asking custom-ers to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, stairs and mailboxes.

“Snow and ice make delivery danger-ous and slow,” said Colby Postmaster Melanie Boeck. “Maintaining a clear path to the mail box -- including steps, porches, walkways and street approach -- will help letter carriers maintain con-sistent delivery service and help them get those cards and packages delivered in time for the holidays.”

Customers receiving door delivery should make sure their sidewalks, steps and porches are clear. Customers receiv-ing curbside delivery should remove snow piles left by snow plows to keep access to their mailboxes clear for letter

carriers. Delivery service may be delayed or

curtailed whenever streets or walkways present hazardous conditions for letter carriers or when snow is plowed against mailboxes. “The Postal Service curtails delivery only after careful consideration, and only as a last resort,” says Boeck. “Any curtailed mail is attempted the next delivery day.”

Blue collection boxes also need to be kept clear for our customers to deposit their mail and for the Postal Service to collect the mail for delivery. Residents and businesses with collection boxes near their property are asked to keep them clear of snow and ice. “We want our letter carriers to be safe,” adds Boeck. “We can only do this with the help of our customers.”

The Postal Service receives no tax dol-lars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

Keep letter carriers safe as they deliver mail for the holidays

When most people remember their favorite parade, it is usually one associ-ated with Walt Disney or Macy’s. When people in central Wisconsin want to see a fantastic parade they head to Abbots-ford, the small city of 2,300 people that has been wowing parade goers for 44 years. Planning goes on all year for the Abbotsford Christmas Parade, and over the past year old fl oats have been spruced up, new ones made and many costumed characters added to the lineup.

This year, the 45th Annual Abbots-ford Christmas Parade will kick off at 7:30 p.m. sharp on Saturday, Dec. 5. The event is always held the fi rst Saturday in December, and has never been cancelled because of cold weather or snow. Over 450 people are needed to fi ll costumes, push and pull fl oats, control crowds and work behind the scenes. Thousands of specta-tors line the street, dressed warmly, to enjoy the parade magic.

Unlike most parades, there is no advertising allowed in the parade. Lo-cal businesses support the parade by donating the raffl e prizes, sponsoring advertising and selling raffle tickets. Each year funds are raised through the raffl e to make new fl oats and costumes and pay parade expenses. All labor is donated. The grand prize is a Kalahari Resort vacation and cash, a $1,500 value. Other prizes include a grill, chest freezer with $500 worth of meat, a John Deere toy gator, snowblower, gas cards, computer tablets, gift cards and toys. Raffl e tickets are available along the parade route from 6:30 until the parade starts. The drawing

is held immediately following the parade on Main Street.

Over the years the parade has grown from Santa, Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman arriving on a fi re truck the fi rst year, to 45 fl oats and over 250 cos-tumed characters. The fl oats are mostly self-propelled and lit with thousands of lights. The new fl oat this year is the Spongebob boat, complete with Sponge-bob and Patrick characters. New movie characters have been completed and will join old favorite storybook, cartoon and fantasy friends that have joined the parade through the years.

If you are coming from a distance to see the parade, two local motels, The Rodeway and Abby Inn, offer a 25 percent room discount certifi cate to those taking the free shuttle bus from the Rodeway Inn and East Town Mall to the parade route. Saturday there will be a Lions Club soup and chili feed from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and a home-based business Shops on Candy Cane Lane from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., both at East Town Mall. Santa will be making a stop at Nicolet Bank in downtown Abbotsford from 4:30 to 6:30 before he leaves to get his reindeer and sleigh ready for the parade.

For more information on the parade, contact parade chairman Kris O’Leary at 715-223-2342 ([email protected]) or the Abby/Colby Crossings Chamber of Commerce at www.abby-colbyareachamber.org. Bring the whole family, dress warm and enjoy the magic of the 45h Annual Abbotsford Christmas Parade. We’ll have the lights on!

Loyal High School announces fi rst quarter honor roll students

NEILLSVILLE -- Memorial Medical Center will increase the hours for occu-pational health and therapy services at the Loyal Clinic. This upcoming change is being made in response to the needs of the community. This will limit provider-based services beginning Jan. 1, 2016.

Memorial Medical Center has had a clinic in Loyal for over 30 years and will continue serving the community. It will just now be in a slightly different capacity. Over the past four years, MMC has had a steady increase in the need for reha-bilitation services and a decline of family practice volumes. “We are responding to an expressed demand in the Loyal com-munity by expanding space and staff for physical and occupational therapy,” Ryan Neville, CEO of MMC shared, “We currently have two family practice clinics seven miles away from each other and we have made the strategic decision to transition the Loyal clinic into a more complementary clinic.”

MMC will immediately

establish an Internal Planning Commit-tee to phase in the new services and staff for the Loyal Clinic. Expanded occupa-tional health services may include DOT physicals, pre-employment evaluations, lab screenings and seasonal services like flu clinics and sports physicals”. The Greenwood Clinic is anticipated to expand its hours of operation and certain services to accommodate the Loyal Clinic transition.

The decrease in the family practice hours are scheduled for Jan. 1, 2016, at that time MMC will begin to remodel the space for additional therapy services and occupational health services.

NEILLSVILLE -- This is the time of year when local community groups often host food drives to fi ll local food pantry shelves. By keeping a few simple tips in mind, you can enhance the value of the food donations you make. “It’s important to remember that donated food is most helpful if it is both safe and high quality,” says Barbara Ingham, food safety spe-cialist with the University of Wisconsin-Extension. Make sure to check the dates on packages of foods that you donate, advises Ingham.

Quality or pack dates are often desig-nated on packages by the words "Better if used by ...” and a date. Look for these dates on packaged mixes, cold cereals, peanut butter, and increasingly, on canned items like fruits and vegetables. These dates mean that after the quality date, the food will begin to lose its fl avor and may even develop an off fl avor. Do-nate only foods that are well within the quality dates marked on the package.

Expiration dates include information such as "Expires 2/15/13" or "Do not use

after 7/9/13." Look for these dates on vitamins, yeast, baking powder and cake mixes. Do not donate foods that are past their expiration date.

Pull dates. Example: "Sell by May 16.” Look for these dates on perishable, refrigerated foods such as milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, cream, eggs, lunchmeat and packaged salad mixes. Perishable foods, with the exception of garden pro-duce, are usually not included in a food drive. If they are, choose foods that are well within the pull date.

Besides looking for a date, be sure to check the integrity of the package. To ensure that the food has not been contaminated, donate only foods from unopened packages. Avoid foods with packaging that shows signs of leakage or damage. Ingham urges consumers not to donate home-canned items, or canned items that have broken seams or large dents. Your donation only makes a difference in the life of someone in need if the product donated is within the date marked and of good quality. If you ques-

tion the integrity of the product or wouldn’t feed it to your family, it is prob-ably best not to donate it.

Amber Canto, Wiscon-sin Nutrition Education Program state coordinator, suggests avoiding sug-ary cereals, salty noodle mixes, and fruit-fl avored beverages that might be easy to donate, but diffi cult for families to include in nutritious meals. Instead, Canto urges consumers to donate foods that have a

stable shelf life, are full of nutrients and easy to prepare. Good examples of foods to consider are:

· Canned vegetables, especially those without added salt

· Fruits canned in juice, unsweetened applesauce, 100-percent fruit juice and dried fruit such as raisins or craisins

· Canned meats and fish, such as chicken, ham, beef, tuna and salmon. Do not donate meat canned at home

· Peanuts and peanut butter· Whole grain, low-sugar cereals such

as plain instant oatmeal, whole grain Os, and bran fl akes

· Whole grain or enriched pasta and instant rice -- either brown or enriched. Boxed noodle and rice dishes can be an easy starting point for a one-dish meal

· Whole grain crackers (especially reduced-sodium) and popcorn

· Spaghetti sauce, salsa and canned beans, including baked beans

· Reduced-sodium broth and soups· Low-fat salad dressings or spreads,

and condiments such as ketchup or mustard

· Baby food is a very welcome dona-tion. Just be sure to donate well within the date marked on the containers

"Food pantry guests are so grateful for the generosity and support from the community,” says Canto. Your dona-tion of safe, high quality foods goes a long way in ensuring the ability to feed themselves and families good, nutritious meals."

Consider donating cash to food pan-tries. “Pantries can often get more for their dollars, address shortages and needs and focus on high quality products with some extra fi nancial assistance,” says Canto. “Cash donations help food pantries offer the widest possible array of products to the individuals that they serve.” To learn more, visit the Safe and Healthy Food Pantries Project Web site at: http://fyi.uwex.edu/safehealthy-pantries/.

Keep quality and food safety in mind when donating food

Amherst foils Rockets’ state championship plans

DEAN LESAR/STAFF PHOTOSpencer-Columbus senior Austin Post (right) commiserates with a teammate on the sidelines near the end of the Rockets’ 42-0 loss to Amherst in the WIAA Division 5 state championship game played at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. A potent Amherst offense and three fi rst-half Rocket turnovers spelled the end of an undefeated season for Spencer-Columbus.

As the Spencer-Columbus football team manhandled most of its opponents in building a 13-0 record and glid-ing to a state championship berth, so were the Rockets whipped by Amherst in the Nov. 19 WIAA Division 5 title contest at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. The Falcons’ offense was all but unstoppable and the defense bottled up the big-play Spencer-Columbus offense in a 42-0 win on a seasonably cool and windy day on the Wisconsin Badgers home turf.

The Falcon-Rocket match-up -- at least on paper -- had all the makings of a classic high school championship tilt. Both teams posted gaudy offensive numbers in dispatching all foes, and both cruised to relatively easy wins in the fi rst four playoff levels. The tension grew as the respective crowds’ noise crescendoed during the pre-game introductions.

And then it was over.Amherst was in charge from the start, stopping the

Rockets’ opening drive of the game and then quickly scor-ing on its fi rst p o s s e s s i o n . The Falcons flew out to a 21-0 lead early in the second period, and then stopped

the Rockets on a 4-play goal-line stand to prevent Spencer-Columbus from pulling back some momentum.

The Rockets picked up a fi rst down on their fi rst drive on runs by Hunter Luepke and Noah Zastrow, but Luepke was tripped up in the backfi eld on the next set of downs to force a Rocket punt. Amherst’s offense was in high gear from the start, and mixed four runs and two pass completions to cover 75 yards for the game’s fi rst points. Senior quarterback Garrett Groshek broke two tackles on a 29-yard run for the score and a 7-0 lead following the point-after kick.

The Rocket offense started well again on the next drive, picking up one fi rst down on a middle screen to Noah Zastrow and another on Luepke’s run into Amherst ter-ritory. The drive stalled after that and the Rockets punted again, with Luepke’s kick pinning the Falcons at their own 13-yard line.

The fi eld position break mattered little as Groshek broke through the interior of the Rocket defense on the second play and veered left for a 78-yard touchdown sprint with 26 seconds left in the fi rst period.

On the fi rst play of the second quarter, Rocket quar-terback Calvin Lenz’s pass attempt to Jonny Tomke was picked off by Falcon defensive back Benjamin Gutschow. Starting at the Rocket 46-yard line, the Falcons used three runs and two passes to score again, with Groshek fi nding Amaziah McCall wide open in the middle of the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown strike and a 21-0 lead.

Spencer-Columbus then got its best chance to climb back into the game, with Luepke fi elding a short kick-off and dodging his way through the coverage for a 67-yard return all the way down to the Amherst 4-yard line.

On fi rst down, Luepke plowed forward for a yard, but he lost that yard back on a second down run to the left. On third down, he was cut down at the 1-yard line. Amherst

called a time-out as the Rockets lined up for the fourth-and-goal play. The Rockets sent Luepke to the right on the fourth-down play, but the ball was knocked out of his hands just before he pushed over the goal line. Amherst recovered in the end zone for a touchback that defl ated the Spencer-Columbus comeback hopes.

To make matters worse, the Falcons drove 80 yards in 10 plays on the next drive to take the commanding 28-0 lead. Groshek and Brandon Piotrowski accounted for eight rushes on the drive, which ended with Groshek’s 17-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Cisewski on an outside slant.

The Rockets mounted a long drive on the last posses-

sion of the half. Starting at their own 24-yard line, The Rockets picked up a fi rst down on a Luepke run and another on an Amherst encroachment penalty. Lenz connected with Post on a pass and Hunter Hildebrandt plowed forward for another fi rst down on a third-and-1 play. Lenz completed passes to Luepke and Jonny Tomke for a fi rst down at the Amherst 18. A reception by Hil-debrandt put the ball at the Falcon 12-yard line with 14 seconds left in the half. Lenz’s next pass was batted down by an Amherst lineman, and a third-down throw was incomplete. On fourth-and-four on the last play of

BOWLING

the half, McCall intercepted a Lenz pass at the goal line to again thwart a Rocket threat.

Amherst picked up where it left off in the third quarter, driving 80 yards in seven plays on its fi rst possession. Groshek hit McCall with a perfect toss on the left sideline for a 23-yard touchdown play. The point-after kick pushed the lead to 35-0 and invoked the running clock rule for the rest of the game.

The Rocket offense went 3-and-out on its next two possessions as the Amherst defense stuffed a running game that was hobbled by a fi rst-quarter injury to Za-strow. Luepke’s punt was partially blocked at the 2:34 mark of the third quarter, giving Amherst a short fi eld again. The Falcons covered the 42 yards in three plays -- all completions by Groshek -- with the touchdown coming on a 33-yard sideline strike to Cisewski.

The teams traded punts and possessions in the fourth period as both head coaches pulled their starters and inserted reserves.

The fi nal game statistics were a complete reversal of the domination Spencer-Columbus enjoyed all season. The Amherst offense was never stopped until the reserves were on the fi eld in the fi nal minutes, and amassed 410 total yards. The Falcons ran for 241 yards on 28 attempts, for an 8.5-yard per carry average. Groshek led the way with 163 yards on 12 at-tempts. Piotrowski ran 14 times for 78 yards. Groshek also completed 11 of 14 passes for 172 yards and four touchdowns.

The usually-profi cient Spencer-Columbus rushing attack gained only 82 yards on 32 carries. Luepke was held to 44 yards on 16 attempts. Lenz went to the air 17 times, with eight completions for 57 yards and two interceptions. Tomke and Hildebrandt each had two catches for 12 yards.

Luepke had seven solo tackles to lead the Rockets defensively. Lenz had four solo tackles and Elijah Welsh was in on two solo and two assisted tackles.

Electronic deer registration through the GameReg system will allow up-to-date preliminary registration numbers to be available on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ website throughout the nine-day gun deer season.

Preliminary gun deer harvest information will be sum-marized by both county and management zone, and will be updated regularly from Nov. 21 to Nov. 30. So far in 2015, harvest information for the early deer hunting seasons has been updated weekly. To view the preliminary 2015 gun deer registration numbers, visit dnr.wi.gov<http://dnr.wi.gov/> and search keywords “weekly totals<http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/deerharvest.html>.”

NOTE: Hunters must register their deer by 5 p.m. the day after harvest in 2015, as opposed to 5 p.m. the day after the nine-day season closes in years past - this means that caution should be used in interpreting harvest trends as the data sources are different than in years past during the season.

While hundreds of thousands of hunters will take to the woods during the nine day gun deer season, a smaller but equally avid group of outdoor enthusiasts will be out on Wisconsin waters in search of trophy musky during the next few weeks.

Over the years, late fall has become the time when the most serious musky anglers pursue their quarry. The in-land musky season closes Nov. 30 north of U.S. Highway 10 including the northern tributaries to Lake Michigan; it closes Dec. 31 to the south of U.S. Highway 10 including the southern tributaries to Lake Michigan.

“Late fall is a great time to fi sh for musky because the fi sh feed aggressively before the coldest weather moves in,” said Tim Simonson, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources fi sheries biologist and muskellunge management team leader. “The thrill of having one of these fi sh on the line is more than enough to drive away the chills, and this is when you are most likely to catch that trophy fi sh.”

Simonson said data collected by statewide musky groups corresponds with the observations of fi sheries managers and indicates that the average length of fi sh caught is largest from late October through December. In Wisconsin, some musky are living more than 20 years, and this longevity combined with a healthy population of prey species in many lakes contributes to the potential for large fi sh.

Trophy or not, many musky anglers practice catch and release fi shing to give others a chance to experience the excitement of hooking these long-lived fi sh.

In late fall, the choice of bait typically ranges from bucktails and jerkbaits to live suckers and many anglers contend “the bigger the better,” Simonson said. Anglers using live bait 8 inches or longer must use a quick-strike rig with one or more treble hooks attached to the body of the baitfi sh to prevent the musky from swallowing it com-pletely; special non-offset circle hooks also may be used.

“The quick-strike rigs can really reduce mortality and work well for anglers using large suckers,” Simonson said. With live bait, Simonson suggests using heavy tackle

(at least 100-pound test line with heavy wire leaders) to avoid breaking the line and leaving a sucker hooked in the mouth of a large musky. It’s also very important to set the hook immediately when that big musky strikes, to avoid causing lasting injury to the fi sh. Musky anglers are reminded to properly dispose of unused bait and not release bait in Wisconsin waters.

Wisconsin’s top destinations for late fall musky fi shing include lakes in Vilas and Oneida counties; the greater Hayward area in Sawyer County; the Mercer area in Iron County; and the Spooner area in Washburn County. In the southern part of the state, Lake Monona and Pewaukee Lake often produce large fi sh thanks to stocking and man-agement efforts by local clubs in partnership with DNR.

Fall is a good time to get a big musky

Deer harvest numbers will be updated all week

Nobody notices a plain, boring dude like me(This column is from 2011. I was plain and

boring then. Still am. Funny how that works.) Let's face it. I'm a simple man. No frills,

no thrills. In a world of a thousand ice cream fl avors, I'm as vanilla as they come. If I was dirt -- and many insist I am -- my pH would be exactly 7.0. Neutral. Hum-drum. Middle of the road. Yeah, sure, boring.

You can see my averageness in just about everything I do. I drive a dull vehicle, little chrome, no swirly stripes on the side. The only bright colors on my clothes are yellow mustard stains. I eat bland foods. My cell phone is not smart, wired, razor thin or hot pink. Even my beagle has a normal canine IQ -- although he'd argue otherwise.

Even in deer hunting, the annual holy event for which I'm now preparing, my ordinariness shines through. I do not use fancy gadgets, my fi rearm is as normal as you can fi nd. My shooting skills are OK, not great, not lousy. I wear the required orange jacket, though it's somewhat faded. My boot laces are frayed on the tips, just like everybody else's.

It would be easy to stand out in a crowd of deer hunters,what with the eclectic array of products available nowadays. But I choose to fi t in, not stand out, 'cuz my Daddy once told me, "Son, with a face like yours, I wouldn't be goin' out in public much if'n I were you." And I trusted my Daddy. He was an average man, too.

Come Saturday morning at dawn, you won't fi nd me in any of those fancy-pants tree stands some guys are using these days. I prefer to sit on a routine iron seat until the cold metal makes funky designs on my pale butt cheeks (What? you gotta' check for ticks) and I have no walls, or roofs or heaters or any other spiffy

appliances to keep me comfy. Some dudes these days, they build cabins in the trees with fl oor plans, guest rooms, wet bars and heated towel bars, just to use six days a year to allegedly "hunt" deer. Really now, if this is what hunting's come down to, than those of us who still sit out in the unmerciful wind and shiver until our internal organs turn into globular popsicles must truly be sadistic. Or average, like me.

I mentioned before that the gun I use is pretty ordinary, too. Nothing special about it. .270-cali-ber, pump action, black synthetic stock, 3-9X scope, camoufl age sling, exactly like a million others out there (except maybe for the "Eat this, Bambi" message I had engraved on the barrel). As average as my rifl e is, so too is my ability to use it. I'm not a crack shot, by any means, but probably not the worst you've seen (although there's an 8-point buck from 2007 that'd probably tell you different.) I hit my fair share of deer, miss some others. Nothing extraordinary about that.

I could choose to stand out here, and buy a stainless-steel-barreled beauty, with a sumac thumbhole stock, a polished silver scope with a night vision attachment, a tungsten trigger guard, diamond-stud inlays on the forestock, and a banana clip capable of holding 64 live rounds and a change of clothes. I've looked at such guns in the stores and marveled at their majesty, but in the end, I just use my old faithful Remington another year. Nobody notices. Nobody cares.

My ammunition choice, also, is mundane, so much so that I always buy the same bullet as everyone else and often fi nd it sold out when I get to the store. I go for the 130-grain variety, no surprises, no ballistic tips or hollow points. Just plain brass shell, gunpowder, a hunk of lead. What more can you need?

The blaze orange jacket I dug out of the

plastic tote last weekend is the same one I've been wearing each gun deer season since 1998, I believe. One of the pockets is ripped out at the seams, the zipper works on warm days, I lost the down liner like seven years ago and I've got a combination of stains on the fabric that probably include, but may not be limited to, deer blood, pizza sauce, gun cleaning solvent, my blood, chocolate, rust, swamp muck, more of my blood, and melted brown glass (never sit too close to the campfi re while drinking bottled beer). The jacket was at one time a vivid blaze orange color, but has now faded to a sort of cross between legal pad yellow, navel orange, ink pen red, and that blood I was telling you about. I'm sure it's lost some of its protective glare over the years, but you know, I'll trade that any day for not being noticed. Just remember what my Daddy said.

You can buy any kind of fancy hunting duds these days. They're made of revolutionary new materials that lock in your natural body odor, wick away moisture from your skin, and repel ultraviolet rays that reflect off your surface and alert wary deer to your presence. You can buy expensive new orange outerwear, orange underwear, orange hats, orange gloves, orange

socks, orange belts, orange scarves and even orange toilet paper (really, I have a roll), but I've found the old jacket that lives in the basement 356 days a year works just swell. Predictable? Yeah, well, sure. Are you not getting the point here?

The knife I use to eviscerate the game animals I harvest, believe it or not, is also rather standard. It's a normal-sized folding Buck knife, the blade dull enough so I can't do a delicate job of gutting my prey, yet keen enough to slice an extra index

fi nger to within a thin tendon of amputation. My knife is well-used, beaten, really, and the vacant groove where the knife folds into the body holds various chunks of rotting fl esh from animals I butchered in the Clinton years (and you thought the morality of the presidency was the only thing gutted).

Like anything else today, knives come in more shapes and sizes than anyone can need. There are knives with serrated edges, ones with guthooks, one for boning, ones for sawing, ones with forges blades, one with buckhorn handles. Me? I choose the same one I've used for 20 years now, the one with the smashed snap on the sheath (Yeah, OK, I slammed the truck door on it), the one that's sliced out more hearts than the women on "The Real Housewives of Willard." It works. It's adequate. I'm happy.

So, maybe I'll see you out in the woods next week. You'll have to look extra hard to fi nd me, though, because I'll be the one in the distance, trying to blend in, to not be noticed. That's the way I like it, see, because if you don't notice me, neither will the deer. And you thought I had no plan.

THEBORN LESAR

Lost in the ValleyHello friends,Every fall, for the month of November, the majority of my outdoor

experiences take place from my hunting camp, which is located in northern Juneau County. Other hunters named us back in the late ’70s because we are always wearing hipboots and hunting as far away from the road as we can get.

The Red Brush Gang is 25 family members and friends with the vast majority having grown up in Poynette.

We hunt public land of which most is state or federal and all told there is over 200 square miles that is connected and made up of oak and jackpine forests and marsh’s that, as you are about to fi nd out, a man can get lost “temporarily disoriented” in.

Thursday, Nov. 12 -- high 54, low 30A large part of my history is that I always have to see “new coun-

try” while trying to stay away from the crowd. Last fall I was talking to some trappers who told me where they had been seeing some big bucks. That same day I strapped on my hip boots and went explor-ing. Long story short, there was a lot of deer close to the remote road where I would park and that kind of kept me from going in deep and exploring.

On Sunday and Monday of this week, I bow hunted here and saw fi ve bucks on one hunt but had to walk a mile through swamp with no trail to get to the area that I chose to hunt.

Last night I came up with an idea of going to a different spot that would shave close to a half mile off my hike. It would still be through a swamp and a half-mile through.

So this morning I begin my journey in the dark and I am carrying a load, tree climbing sticks, a stand on my back and a bow as well as a light pack. I am over dressed and most importantly I realize that I have forgot to bring a compass along.

Long story short, about three quarters of the way to where I wanted to hunt, I unknowingly made a right turn and for one hour had no clue where I was. In the end I relaxed, worked with the little

bit of sun that there was and found the tree and deer trails that I wanted to hunt.

I have been playing this game for a half a century and have realized that when you get disoriented and I truly did today (which destroyed my morning hunt) relax, cool off if you are over heated, there is no reason to panic.

I still-hunted, did not see a deer and hiked back to my truck having shaved a half a mile off my journey for all future hunts.

Saturday, Nov. 14 -- high 56, low 28My daughter, Selina, I are staying at camp and bow hunting the

area that I just wrote about. I hunted here yesterday and saw a heck of a nice 10-pointer that was about 50 yards out of range but still a thrill to watch.

Today, I had Selina use a compass and taught her how to get to where we would hunt. Selina was fl awless and actually hunted a good quarter mile past me and made her way back to me in the dark which was pretty cool to watch her fi nd her dad, in the dark in an are where she had never walked today.

On our hunt we both saw a beautiful 8-pointer that I am sure was the same deer. Like every buck I have seen the last 10 days it had its head down and was obviously looking for companionship.

The following morning, Selina lead the way in the dark and found her tree without me. I saw a spike buck on perfectly comfortable hunt and after a very relaxing evening at camp the night before it was another excellent week in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area.

My dad taught us by experience to fi nd our way through swamps, forests and river systems. Those lessons were always while we were having fun and that is what I am doing with Selina.

The biggest holiday meal of the year is just around the corner. Thanksgiving brings families together from all across the state to share a meal that often centers on roast turkey and all the fi xings. To help you prepare the holiday meal, University of Wisconsin-Extension food scientist Barbara Ingham offers some helpful hints.

“Whether you choose a fresh or frozen turkey is up to you,” says Ingham. “But for both fresh and frozen, allow one pound of turkey per person.”

If the turkey is fresh, buy it only one to two days before you plan to cook it, and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to place it in the oven. Place a fresh turkey in a pan or on a tray on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator; the pan will catch any juices that may leak. “Do not buy fresh pre-stuffed turkeys,” advises Ingham.

If your turkey is frozen, keep it frozen until you’re ready to thaw it. “There are three ways to safely thaw your turkey: in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in a microwave oven,” says Ingham.

Thawing your turkeyIn the refrigerator (40°F or below): Keep

the turkey in its original wrapper. Thaw in the refrigerator on a tray or in a pan to catch drips. Once it is completely thawed, the turkey may be stored in the refrigerator an

additional 1 to 2 days before cooking. Allow 4–5 days to thaw an average 20-pound turkey in the refrigerator.

In cold water: Make sure the turkey is securely wrapped so that water is not able to leak into the package. It’s usually best to keep the turkey wrapped in the original package. Completely submerge the turkey in cold water. Change the water every 30 minutes as the water starts to warm. Tur-keys thawed in this way should be cooked immediately after thawing. Do not refriger-ate or refreeze.

Thawing guidelinesSize of turkey: 4 to 12 pounds -- thaw 1 to

3 days in the refrigerator or 2 to 6 hours in cold water; 12 to 16 pounds -- 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator or 6 to 8 hours in cold water; 16 to 20 pounds -- 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator or 8 to 10 hours in cold water; 20 to 24 pounds -- 5 to 6 days in the refrigerator or 10 to 12 hours in cold water.

Thawing in the microwave oven: Check your owner’s manual for the size turkey that will fi t in your microwave, the minutes per pound and the power level to use for thawing. Remove all outside wrapping and place on a microwave-safe dish to catch any juices that may leak. Cook your turkey immediately after thawing. Do not refreeze or refrigerate a turkey after microwave

thawing.Roasting your turkey:

Set your oven temperature

no lower than 325°F. Place your turkey or turkey breast on a rack in a shallow roast-ing pan.

For optimum safety, stuffi ng a turkey is not recommended. For more even cooking, it is recommended you cook your stuffi ng outside the turkey in a casserole dish. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the stuffi ng. The stuffi ng must reach a safe minimum internal tem-perature of 165°F.

If you choose to stuff your turkey, the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time; however, keep wet and dry ingredients sepa-rate. Chill all of the wet ingredients (but-ter/margarine, cooked celery and onions, broth, etc.). Mix wet and dry ingredients just before loosely fi lling the turkey cavity. Cook the turkey immediately. Use a food thermometer to make sure the center of the stuffi ng and the turkey reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F.

A whole turkey is safe when cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F as measured with a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast.

For safety’s sake, don’t rely solely on the turkey’s pop-up doneness indicator. Use a thermometer to double-check that the tem-perature of the turkey in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast reaches 165° F.

For quali-ty, let the tur-key stand for 20 minutes before carv-ing to allow juices to set. The turkey w i l l c a r ve more easily.

R e m o v e all stuffing from the tur-key cavities.Timetables for turkey roasting

(325°F oven

temperature)Use these approximate timetables to

determine how long to cook your turkey. Always use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of your turkey and stuffi ng.

Thawed, unstuffed cooking time: 4 to 8 pounds (breast) -- 1.5 to 3.25 hours; 8 to 12 pounds -- 2.75 to 3 hours; 12 to 14 pounds -- 3 to 3.75 hours; 14 to 18 pounds -- 3.75 to 4.25 hours; 18 to 20 pounds -- 4.25 to 4.5 hours; 20 to 24 pounds -- 4.5 to 5 hours.

Thawed, stuffed cooking time: 4 to 6 pounds (breast) -- not usually applicable; 6 to 8 pounds (breast) -- 2.5 to 3.5 hours; 8 to 12 pounds -- 3 to 3.5 hours; 12 to 14 pounds-\ -- 3.5 to 4 hours; 14 to 18 pounds -- 4 to 4.25 hours; 18 to 20 pounds -- 4.25 to 4.75 hours; 20 to 24 pounds -- 4.75 to 5.25 hours.

It is safe to cook a turkey from the frozen state, but the cooking time will take at least 50 percent longer than recommended for a fully thawed turkey. To cook a frozen turkey, remove the bird’s wrapping and any gravy packet, if present. Place the turkey on a rack in an oven pre-heated to at least 325°F. The time required for cooking will depend on the size of the bird. After the bird has thawed suffi ciently in the oven (2-3 hours of cook-ing), take the turkey from the oven and re-move the giblets and neck. It will take 4-1/2 to 5 hours to cook a 12- to 13-pound turkey from the frozen state; longer for larger birds.

“Always wash your hands, utensils, the sink, and anything else that comes in con-tact with raw turkey and its juices with soap and water,” Ingham says.

Ingham offers a few more optional cook-ing hints:

Do not rinse turkeys, or other meat, be-fore cooking; this only spreads germs. Use paper towels to gently remove pin feathers or blood.

If your roasting pan does not have a lid, you may place a tent of heavy-duty alumi-num foil over the turkey for the fi rst 1 to 1.5 hours. This allows for maximum heat circu-lation, keeps the turkey moist and reduces oven splatter. To prevent over-browning, foil may also be placed over the turkey after it reaches the desired color.

MADISON -- The cost of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner will be down slightly from last year according to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s annual look at the price of a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people. The informal survey found the cost of traditional items like turkey, cubed stuffi ng, cranberries and pumpkin pie was 1.5 percent less than last year.

“Even with reduced supplies of turkey due to last spring’s avian infl u-enza outbreak and the historically high wholesale turkey prices that followed, grocers and restaurants are reluctant to pass those increases on to consumers,” explained Casey Langan, Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s spokesman. “The aver-age price of turkey in Wisconsin was un-changed from last year’s survey, despite a volatile year for the turkey business.”

Survey says“The survey’s total price of $50.08,

when divided by 10, shows preparing a nutritious, home-cooked Thanksgiving meal costs about $5 per person,” Langan said. “A wholesome family feast is still a better deal than a trip through the drive-thru.”

The American Farm Bureau Federa-tion’s national survey of the same items (turkey, cubed stuffi ng, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a rel-ish tray of carrots and celery, pumpkin

pie with whipped cream and beverages of milk and coffee, all in quantities suffi -cient to serve 10 people) averaged $50.11, just 3 cents more than Wisconsin’s price.

“With the average turkey price un-changed since 2014, and many other items with slight increases, lower dairy prices balanced the survey’s overall av-erage,” Langan said. “2015 has not been a banner year for the prices received by Wisconsin’s dairy farmers.”

The survey refl ected the lower prices received for milk, with the average price of a gallon of whole milk decreasing 17.5 percent (from $4.04 to $3.33) from last year.

Talking turkey“Regardless of what the wholesale

price of turkey is in any given year, grocers typically feature turkey in spe-cial sales and promotions leading up to Thanksgiving,” Langan said. “Savvy shoppers can always fi nd a bargain for turkey and this year is no exception. Despite what some headlines might lead consumers to believe, turkey remains an affordable source of protein.”

In recent years Americans, who lead the world in turkey consumption, purchase about 46 million turkeys at Thanksgiving; however, turkey’s popu-larity expands beyond our borders.

Mexico buys more than one-half of its turkeys from the U.S. annually,

making it the leading foreign customer. Other top importers of U.S. turkeys have traditionally included China, Hong Kong, Canada and the Dominican Republic. Minnesota leads the nation in turkey production.

Wisconsin’s average price for a 16-pound turkey was $22.40 in 2013. It increased 96 cents to $23.36 in 2014, and remained at that price in 2015.

“From the turkey to potatoes to cranberries to milk, Wisconsin farmers are proud to produce much of the food served at a traditional Thanksgiving celebration,” Langan said.

About the surveyThe Thanksgiving price survey is

an informal, annual look at the trends in food prices in Wisconsin in rela-tion to changing farm prices, weather and wholesale and retail food market-ing. Members of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau collected price samples of 12 Thanksgiving food items in 36 communi-ties in October and November.

Farm Bureau volunteer shoppers are asked to look for the best possible prices, without taking advantage of special promotional coupons or purchase deals. While Farm Bureau does not make any scientifi c claims about the data, it is an informal gauge of price trends.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Fed-eration is the state’s largest farm orga-

nization. Made up of 61 county Farm Bureaus, it represents farms of every size, commodity and management style.
