of Marathon City budget re-viewed at Thursdays FinanceCommittee meeting raises lo-cal municipal property taxesby 7 percent.

The budget calls for a$723,906 lo-cal levy, anincrease of$46,533 over thecurrent year.

Municipali-ties are re-

strained bylevy limitswhen it comesto raising tax-es for generalgovernmentoperations,said village ad-

ministrator Andy Kurtz, butstate law gives village govern-ments broader authority toincrease taxes for debt service.In the proposed 2016 budget,the village will increase itsdebt service levy by $50,000over the current year.

Kurtz said the new debt ser-vice dollars will not pay offany new projects, but continue

loan payments for the villagesfire station, public library,business park and storm sew-er on Pine Street.

As proposed, the villagesdebt service payments willrise only slightly, from $137,429to $140,404. Village debt totals$3,372,675. This is 54 percent ofthe villages legal maximumdebt limit.

The majority of the new debtservice levy, said Kurtz, will beused to free up dollars in thevillages general fund budget.

Elmer Hayes brass trumpet is no lon-ger shiny and new. But, after decadesof making polka music in ballroomsacross Wisconsin, it has aged nicely.

Like its owner.Hayes, a spry 89-year-old living in

Stratford, is forever humming a melo-dy and, as a member of the seven-pieceHayes Boys polka band, still finds mu-sic vital, even thrilling.

Its so exciting, he said.The states polka community recent-

ly congratulated Hayes on his musicalcontribution.

On Nov. 8, he was awarded a lifetimeachievement award by the Wiscon-sin Polka Hall of Fame (WPHF) at theChandelier Ballroom, Hartford. TubaDan Jerabek, WPHF president, pre-sented Hayes with his plaque.

The award makes some history. Backon Oct. 26, 2013, the WPHF gave Hayes

its distinguished ser-vice award at HowardJohnsons, Wausau.

Hayes is the firstperson in Wiscon-sin polka history toreceive both awardsfrom the WPHF.

The lifetime

achievement awardcelebrates Hayesyears in music: asStratford PublicSchools band in-structor for decades,a member of count-

less Wisconsin polka bands and as atalented band arranger.

The award, however, specially recog-nizes Hayes for his musical project tokeep alive the music of Romy Gosz, aself-taught trumpeter from Sheboyganwho led popular Wisconsin polka bandsin the 30s and 40s. His bands recordedfrequently and toured the entire Upper

In a well functioning democracy, the majority of people get whatthey want. They elect leaders who put in place programs andpolicies they support. If they dont like their government, the

people pick new leadership.But what happens when democracy starts falling apart?You get Wisconsin.A recent Marquette Law School poll of Wisconsin residents

documents that large majorities of people are angry with thegovernment theyve elected. Here, people have an ugly outlook whenit comes to stuff like government, jobs and politicians.

Sixty-nine percent of people told Marquettes pollsters governmentignores the interests of hardworking Americans. The samepercentage said the income difference among Americans is too big.Eighty-four percent of those polled said government is run by afew big interests. Maybe thats why only 31 percent of people in

the Marquette poll approve of the current Republican-controlledstate legislature. Only 38 percent approve of Gov. Scott Walker, aRepublican.

Economics likely plays a culprit in all of this unhappiness. Earlierthis year, the Pew Trust concluded that Wisconsins middle class wasbruised the worst among 50 states during the Great Recession. Theshare of Wisconsin households who rated middle class status (withincomes between $34,000 and $103,000) dropped from 55 percent in2000 to 49 percent as of 2013.

People here dont necessarily see things turning around soon.Fifty-seven percent of people in the Marquette poll said Wisconsinis lagging the nation when it comes to job creation. The samepercentage, according to a Wisconsin Public Radio poll taken thisyear, feels Wisconsin is headed in the wrong direction.

Clearly, Wisconsin is in a dark, foul mood.Partly, this has to do with the economy, the middle class squeeze

and the job situation. Yet, it also reflects a frustration with politics to

make things better. People dont see a way forward.There is a basic problem with Wisconsin democracy. Its a national

problem, really. It is that poor people, those hurt most by theeconomic downturn, have stopped voting. The result is democracyoff the rails.

The Pew Research Center reported in January that where 63percent of the most financially secure Americans were likely to vote,only 20 percent of the least financially secure were. Wisconsin followsthat trend. The top wealthiest counties in Wisconsin are Ozaukee,Waukesha, Dane, St. Croix and Washington. The voter turnout ofthose counties in the 2012 presidential election were, respectively, 84,81, 80, 74 and 78 percent. Wisconsins poorest five counties are Rusk,Florence, Clark, Ashland and Menomonee. The voter turnout in thesecounties in 2012 was, again respectively, 63, 73, 56, 68 and 48 percent.

You get the picture. Wealthy people in Wisconsin vote. Poor peopledont and, in their apathy, they lose political power. That changes

the whole political game. Republicans, allies of the affluent, gaindisproportionate power. Democrats, champions of the poor, aremarginalized.

All kinds of consequences (some quite strange) cascade from thesedevelopments. It means Republicans must be schizophrenic. Theymust do the bidding of the affluent, who regularly vote, but also thenear poor, who need to distinguish themselves from their disgraced,poor brethren (those people) who qualify for welfare. Thus, aRepublican will support tax cuts for the wealthy, but also propertytax cuts for the common man. Its all justified by demanding drugtests for Food Share recipients. Republicans, too, must protect theirpolitical advantage. Thus it is imperative that voting be restricted.Districts are gerrymandered and barriers, such as Photo ID, are putin place. Campaign finance laws are gutted and, as we saw recently,even government watchdog agencies are beheaded.

Democrats, too, must become schizophrenic. Although they saythey support the poor, they must do the bidding of the wealthy to stay

relevant.The result is both political parties become wedded to the status quo,

beholden to the minority of affluent people who are doing well. Thepoor are punished and humiliated. Economic reform to help the poor,but also the majority of people, dies.

The potential consequences of these new realities are chilling.People like to think of politics like a grandfather clock. Thependulum swings back and forth. But what happens when thependulum gets stuck on one side?

Tragically, the clock breaks.

A Walker switch

on BadgerCare?To the Editor:Gov. Scott Walker may be forced to

reconsider his disastrous decision toreject hundreds of millions of federaldollars for BadgerCare.

This is not because Walker wants todo the right thing by guaranteeing thateveryone in Wisconsin has somewhereto go to get affordable health coverage.

Walker may be forced to reversecourse because of the shifting politicsof health care reform and because turn-ing down the money is one of the worstbudget decisions in Wisconsin history.

First, the politics of BadgerCareand the Affordable Care Act (ACA) areevolving.

With the demise of his presidentialbid, Walker no longer needs to hold Wis-consin health consumers hostage to theprejudices of Tea Party primary voters.

Furthermore, new opinion researchfinds voters are sick of the endless par-tisan attempts to repeal and obstructthe health care law. They want electedofficials to accept the ACA is here tostay, and work together to build a bet-ter health care system. The first step tomoving beyond the divisive debate overObamaCare is taking the enhancedMedicaid money to strengthen Bad-gerCare, something every other GreatLakes state Governor, both Republicanand Democrat, have already done.

The second reason Walker could re-verse course on BadgerCare is the di-

sastrous budget consequences. There isalready a $210 million structural deficit,and Walkers BadgerCare decision is

costing nearly $400 million and count-ing. The cost of the decision is growingbecause of Walkers failed economicpolicies. Wisconsin is adding mostlypoverty-wage jobs, which is increasingBadgerCare enrollment.

The key question that will deter-mine the fate of BadgerCare is wheth-er Walker plans to serve out his termin office. If he stays and has to submitanother budget, he will face the triplewhammy of a structural deficit, thecost of rejecting BadgerCare dollars,and the full phase in of huge corporatetax giveaways which will cost the stateover half a billion dollars.

If you add it up, there may be no wayfor Walker to submit a balanced budget

in 2017 without taking the BadgerCaremoney.

Walker has falsely claimed to be pro-tecting state taxpayers, when in fact heis rejecting the safest federal dollars,mandatory spending that has to be re-pealed by both houses of Congress andsustained by the President. Walkersbudget takes over $14 billion in otherfederal money, much of it subject to thewhims of annual Congressional appro-priations.

Walker also claims to be protectingfederal tax payers. But because Walkeris forcing low income Wisconsinites onto the federal marketplace to buy sub-sidized private insurance, it actuallycosts the federal government more. Ifall the people Walker forced off Badger-

Care sign up, it costs federal taxpayers$252 million more per year than provid-ing enhanced BadgerCare money toWisconsin.

Considering the changing politics ofhealth care, and the nearly impossiblebudget hole Walker is digging for him-self, he may have no choice but to takethe BadgerCare money. Walker may beforced to do the right thing after all.

Thanksgiving is about tradition. Andwhats that mean?

In my house, that means our family gath-ers at our house in Edgar for not just a holi-day meal, but theholiday meal we have ev-ery year. It is the holiday meal that we fedour kids when they were little. And it is theholiday meal that now, as adults, they ex-pect when they come to visit.

It is good stuff. It is a big ol roasted tur-

key plus mashed potatoes and gravy madewith pan drippings. It is two kinds of cran-berry relish (I am partial to the cranberryorange salad that nobody else likes). And itis green beans.

Now, there is some wiggle room in thistraditional meal. For instance, we have inthe past substituted a local, organic, pas-tured turkey for the typical commercialbird. Nary a comment. Nobody is too fussyabout the potatoes, either. They can be Yu-kons from Idaho or Russets from Wiscon-sin. Nobody says anything. Ditto for thecranberries. Whatever comes in that littleplastic bag is just fine.

But, at some point, we get to the greenbeans. Here is where tradition asserts it-self. It holds firm. It never wavers.

The beans at our annual Thanksgiving

meal cannot be cut green beans, Frenchcut green beans or Italian flat beans. No,they must be whole green beans. And thebeans cannot be either fresh or frozen. No,they must be canned. Finally, these wholecanned, green beans cant be from GreenGiant, S & W, Allens or Stokely. No, thatwould be wrong. The canned whole greenbeans must be from Del Monte.

Now, is this weird? I will be the first tosay yes.

But thats the way it is.

Lets be truthful about Del Monte cannedgreen beans. They are fine, absolutely fine.But they are soft, greyish-green things thathave scant nutritional value. A half-cupof these beans has two percent of the irona person needs each day. Del Monte doesits best to make you feel good about theirbeans. Their beans are fresh cut, har-vest select and non GMO. They notethe beans swim in a canning solution made

with natural sea salt. The artwork on thecan of beans has a picture of a family farmwith a little red barn and a silo. This is allgood marketing. Yet, a canned green beanis a canned green bean. Nothing more.

This year, the Grinch nearly stoleThanksgiving.

We shopped at four or five differentgrocery stores and, to our dismay, noneof them had any Del Monte whole greenbeans. They had every other kind of beanbut not the one bean in the right brand weneeded.

We ended up in panic mode. Would ourThanksgiving traditionsurvive? I finallycontacted Del Monte directly and, afterchecking their international data base,they directed me to some whole greenbeans at the Piggly-Wiggly in Mosinee.

Last night, I grabbed three cans of thebeans off that grocery stores shelf andkissed each can. It was a Thanksgivingmiracle. We saved Thanksgiving.

This means my family will likely haveour traditional holiday meal this Thursday.And we will all count our blessings.

And what are those? Well, for starters,well get to eat Del Monte canned greenbeans next year.

Five years ago, I filled this weeklycolumn space with a short list of thethings I was thankful for at that time inmy life. With Thanksgiving making itsannual appearance tomorrow, I decid-ed to revisit this list to see how muchhas changed, and how much hasnt.

I was happy to see that, of the sixitems I mentioned, all but one of themis still on my thankful list five years lat-er. That one item was the 1997 HondaCRV I was drivingback in 2010, andlittle did I knowthat it only had a

few more monthsof life before itfinally went offto that great junkyard in the sky(i.e., a scrap yardin Wausau).

Now, I have a2008 Nissan Ver-sa, and knockon wood Improbably morethankful for mycurrent ride thanI ever was of thatHonda.

Heres a run-down of the otherfive things on the list, with some all-

important updates:Family: Like most people, this is

number one on my list, then and now.In 2010, I started off my saying how Iwas extraordinarily lucky to haveboth parents in good health. That stillstands, but there has been one loss andtwo big additions to my family sincethen. My grandfather passed away inJanuary of this year, but he was aroundlong enough to meet my brothers sec-ond child, Morgan, and my wife, Linda

both of whom entered my life sincethat 2010 column. Linda now holds aspecial spot on my list, along with theamazing family she brought with her.

Friends: Back in 2010, I raved abouthow many Happy Birthday com-ments I got on Facebook, seeing it as

proof that I have friends near and far.Ive added a couple since then, and afew others have faded into the past,but I think the charm of Facebook hasworn off a little since 2010. I value face-to-face friendships even more in theera of social media.

Health: Having just reached the ageof 31 in 2010, I complained about mysore back and not being able to eat asmuch as I once did. Ill have to admitthose two issues havent really gottenmuch better, as a I continue to consumefood like Im 20 years-old and then won-der why my aging back can handle theextra load up front. Overall, though,Im still happy to not have any majorillnesses or injuries.

This job: With the Great Recession

casting a dark shadow over the econo-my, I was particularly grateful to havethis job or any job in 2010. Im stillvery grateful, and can easily repeatthis phrase from back then: I have agreat job working for great people, andmy co-workers arent too shabby ei-ther.

Coffee: Though I miss the pumpkinbrickle latt at the now-closed CityBrew in Colby, pumpkin spice has onlygotten more popular.

Still a lot tobe thankfulfor in 2015

Athens applies for road grants

BUDGET DISCUSSION-Trustee Randy Decker, center, discusses the Mount ViewLane project at Mondays regular monthly board meeting.

Edgar taxes could rise 1.8 percent

Board hopes state will pay for majority of Mount View Lane work

A proposed village of Edgar budgetproposes a 1.8 percent tax increase aspart of a 2016 municipal budget.

The budget, reviewed by the villageof Edgar Finance committee on Thurs-day, has penciled in a $347,711 tax levy,an increase of $7,407 over the currentyear.

The small tax increase makes up fordeclining state revenues, but not in-flation. Next year, the village will re-ceive $326,533 in state shared revenue,a decrease of $1,801 over this year, and

$64,438 in transportation aid, a de-crease of $2,031. The states recycling

grant will shrink to $5,100, a decreaseof $200.

The village will spend more onstreets, according to the budget. Totalspending is slated to increase from$301,800 to $332,476. The budget reduc-es street department repairs and main-tenance from $80,000 to $23,439 while itincreases capital outlay from streetsfrom $80,000 to $170,000.

Administrator Louella Luedtke toldboard members these figures couldshift around depending on needed

heavy equipment repair.The budget anticipates savings in

garbage and recycling pick-up. Gar-bage collection is budgeted for $42,000,a drop of $3,000 from the current year,and recycling costs will fall from$19,525 to $16,540.

The village anticipates spending$2,300 in 2016 for updating the villagescomprehensive plan.

Total village spending will remainbasically stable in 2016. The villagestotal general fund spending is peggedat $891,587, a $571 decrease comparedto the current year.

The village of Athens is moving for-ward with applying for grants towardpaying for a $1.1 million reconstruc-tion of Mount View Lane, the road thatserves the villages industrial park.

During Mondays regular monthlymeeting, the board decided to proceedwith having MSA Professional Servic-es of Marshfield prepare applicationsfor grants from Wisconsin agencies tohelp fund the project.

The vote followed up on an Octobermeeting to pay MSA $41,000 to applyfor state grants needed to pay for im-provements to Mount View Lane.

The board also approved additionalwork on the Athens Industrial Parkstormwater management plan devel-oped by MSA. David Schofield fromMSA attended the street committeeand board meetings Monday.

The village of Athens is hoping toreceive half of the project total cost,roughly $500,000, from a CommunityDevelopment Block Grant, and thenanother $200,000 from a state Trans-portation Economic Assistance grant.That way the village would only needto pay roughly $300,000 of the $1.1 mil-lion project cost.

The CDBG will provide between$10,000 and $20,000 per job created inthe Athens Industrial Park. The TEAgrant will provide up to $5,000 per jobup to half of the total project costs.

Athens village president ChuckKornack said, If the grants dont comethrough for us, then we will pare down

the project into pieces until we haveenough money for the entire project.

Some changes were made to theMount View Lane project during akickoff meeting between the villageand MSA last week. The first changeconsisted of extending storm sewersouth along Park View Lane to addressicing problems, at an estimated cost of$50,000.

The second change included theimprovement and expansion of the

existing regional stormwater pond, as

recommended by Marathon TechnicalServices, to be included in the projectat an estimated cost of $80,000.

A third change to the project is toadd curb and gutter along the northside of Mount View Lane. The northside of the road would be widened tomatch the half-width on Park View andRiver View lanes. The south side wouldremain a gravel shoulder with a ditch,and storm sewer would be needed todrain the curb and gutter at an esti-

mated cost of $220,000.

The preliminary engineering costfor the first two changes is $5,000,which includes an additional topog-raphy survey, storm water design andplan sheet preparation. The additionalengineering cost for the third changeis $4,000, which includes more pre-liminary storm sewer design and plansheet preparation.

In other news:

The board approved to adopt the2016 annual budget and establish theproperty tax levy for the village ofAthens. The property tax mil rate willdecrease two cents, from $6.52 this yearto $6.50 in 2016. The total property taxlevy in 2016 is $318,354.

The board approved to set theproperty tax equivalent for the villagewater department at $55,657.

The board approved to adopt the2016 water and sewer department bud-get at $241,689 for sewer and $255,500for water.

The board approved the hiring ofKyle King as a part-time police officer,pending background checks.

The board approved a recommen-dation from the Parks Committee tocontract with Alpine Forestry fromMerrill to harvest timber in the Athensand Erbach parks for $3,510, plus the$700 in paint needed to mark the treesto be removed.

Police are still waiting for autopsyresults for a 25-year-old Marshfieldarea man who died of a heroin over-dose Nov. 15 while inside a p arked carin the village of Stratford.

The Stratford Police Departmentreceived the emergency call at 7:45p.m. Nov. 15 in regard to a man foundunconscious in his car on SouthThird Avenue.

The Stratford EMS was unsuccess-ful in its attempt to resuscitate theman, and he was transported to theemergency room at Ministry St. Jo-sephs Hospital in Marshfield wherehe died.

Stratford police chief Korey Schil-linger is not releasing the mansname at this time, pending the autop-sy report results.

The Marathon County SheriffsDepartment is still investigating thedeath and the Wood County coronerand medical examiner continue to

work on the autopsy report.The Marathon County Sheriffs De-

partment has made 26 arrests so farthis year of pe ople possessing heroinor possessing the drug with the in-tent to sell it, according to CaptainJason Plaza.

The sheriffs department has seized157.57 grams of heroin this year and40 milliliters of liquid heroin fromsyringes.

Midwest.For Hayes, Gosz is the epitome of

Czech-style polka, which he considersthe genres top shelf.

Czech polka music, he said. As faras I am concerned, thats the only kindthere is.

Hayes explained that Czech-style pol-ka is smooth, harmonious, rich withmelodies and beautifully written.

Hayes said that Gosz had a troubledpersonal life, but that he was a heck ofa trumpeter.

He was a fine, fine player, he said.He had such an ambrature [facialmuscles required to play trumpet] thathe could play for hours and never get asore lip.

As a history and chemistry studentat UW-Stevens Point, a younger Hayeswent to see Gosz play at popular ball-rooms in Marathon County, including

Poplar Tree (south of Marathon City)and the Trianon (located at the inter-section of STHs 29 and 97).

I was there to listen, said Hayes.These days, Hayes plays in the Romy

Gosz Reunion Band, reigniting memo-ries of the famous trumpeter for polkalovers.

We get pretty big crowds, saidHayes.

The majority of Hayes musical en-ergy these days is spent as the secondtrumpeter and arranger for the HayesBoys polka band. The bands first trum-pet and leader is Tom, his son, who alsolives in Stratford.

Tom runs the band and does thebookings, said the elder Hayes. I amso proud of him. He just does it.

The other band members includeKeven Genrich (clarinet, saxophone,trumpet), Gene Nikolai (bass horn),

John Hall (clarinet, saxophone, trum-pet), Rich Pinski (keyboard, accordion,button box) and Rich Wilkosz (drums).

Elmer Hayes provides the band mem-bers with their music books of sheetmusic. Each contains 450 tunes, includ-ing many that Hayes transcribed fromold recordings.

Hayes said music flows effortlesslyfrom the ensemble. The group neverpractices.

We just sit down and play, he said.Its really fun.

The band, which has recorded fouralbums, performs around 15 times ayear and all over Wisconsin.

We have a loyal fan base, he said.Id say we are more popular on theeastern side of the state because thatswhere they like Czech and Bohemianmusic.

A native of Hixton, Hayes grew up in

a musical family. His father played theviolin in a family band. No one readany music. It was all by ear. Inspired bya fifth grade music teacher, Hayes tookup the trumpet. After a two-year stintin the service during the Korean War,he used his GI Bill benefits to studymusic at the VanderCook College ofMusic, Chicago. He started as StratfordHigh School band director in 1955.

Hayes said he loves polka music, buthe also loves classical music.

Its emotionally satisfying, he said.Hayes said maybe he could have

spent his life involved with somethingother than music, but he has no ideawhat that would be.

For Hayes, music just speaks to him.There is no language other than mu-

sic as far as I am concerned, he said.

more than the current year. It plansto spend $1,132,288 in the general fundcompared to $1,160,083 in the currentyear. The villages capital outlays willshrink considerably. Last year, the vil-lage budgeted $208,000 in capital itemsfor a police car, plow truck, copier andvillage hall remodeling. This year, thefigure is $7,980, the cost of four frontend loader tires.

Yet, explained Kurtz, the villages

general fund is smaller this year be-cause his salary and benefits will besplit out, not just between the villageand the villages sewer and water utili-

ties, but, for the first time, also the vil-lages Tax Incremental Finance (TIF)district.

Thus Kurtz compensation will bepaid for with village property taxes,utility payments and surpluses thathave been accumulating in the TIFfund that finances the villages busi-ness park and downtown development.

Its split out by one-third, one-thirdand one-third, he said.

Kurtz said the village, if it passesthis budget, will enjoy what he calls a$1 million capital reserve.

This account, he said, will include

$175,000 for TIF payments, $325,000 invillage operating cash and $523,000 insavings for future capital projects.

following the parade on Main Street.Over the years the parade has grown

from Santa, Rudolph and Frosty theSnowman arriving on a fire truck thefirst year, to 45 floats and over 250 cos-tumed characters. The floats are mostlyself-propelled and lit with thousands oflights.

The new float this year is the Sponge-Bob boat, complete with SpongeBob andPatrick characters. New movie charac-ters have been completed and will joinold favorite storybook, cartoon and fan-tasy friends that have joined the paradethrough the years.

If you are coming from a distance tosee the parade, two local motels, TheRodeway Inn and Abby Inn, offer a 25percent room discount certificate tothose taking the free shuttle bus from theRodeway Inn and East Town Mall to theparade route.

THE SPORTING SCENE

READYFORTHENEXTCHALLENGE

ATTACK MODE-Edgar native Aaron Karlen is seen in his defensive end stance whileplaying for UW-Stevens Point. He set career highs against UW-La Crosse this seasonwhen he recorded 12 tackles, seven-and-a-half tackles for loss and four sacks.

Karlen concludes stellar Pointerscareer, will now try for the NFL

Edgar native Aaron Karlenknows the odds are against himrealizing his dream of one dayplaying in the National FootballLeague, but his strong mentalityand work ethic will give him agood shot of catching the eye ofNFL scouts.

Karlen, a 2011 graduate ofEdgar High School, recentlyconcluded a successful play-ing career at the University ofWisconsin-Stevens Point. Hewreaked havoc on opposing of-fenses all season while playingdefensive end for the Pointers,who finished with a 5-5 recordfollowing their 44-0 win againstUW-River Falls Nov. 14 on SeniorNight.

He was awarded for his supe-rior play by receiving severalaccolades. Karlen was a first-team all-WIAC choice for thesecond consecutive season afterleading the conference with 11sacks and three forced fumblesthis season. His 18 tackles forloss ranked second in the WIACand tied for 17th nationally,while his 61 tackles led the Point-ers and were tied for 13th in theconference.

Now the six-foot-three inch245-pound Karlen is preparingto play in three college all-stargames, two of which includecombines where he can show-case his skills in front of NFL

and Canadian Football Leaguescouts.He has been invited to play

for the Team USA against TeamMexico in the Aztec Bowl Dec. 5in Mexico City, Mexico. Next hewill play in the Senior ClassicDec. 18 in Myrtle Beach, SouthCarolina, and finally in theDream Bowl Jan. 18 in VirginiaBeach, Virginia.

Karlen is ready for the chal-lenge. The sky is the limit forme, he said. I know I have longodds of making it into the NFL,but I will never sell myself shortand I am just taking things oneday at a time.

If scouts believe Karlen has

the football skills to play in theNFL, then he will hire an agentand prepare for the 2016 NFLDraft held April 28-30.

Edgar football coach JerrySinz projects Karlen as a hybridoutside linebacker in the NFLwho can enter the game whenthe opposing team is in obviousthird-down passing situations.Karlen is great at rushing the

passer, but he isnt strong in pass cov-erage, and he is too small to play defen-sive end in the NFL.

Its one of those deals where he

needs to stay healthy and then land inthe right situation at the right time,Sinz said. Its a question of does anNFL team need someone like him? Buthe does have enough physical tools toat least have a chance at playing in theNFL.

Sinz knows firsthand the long pro-cess of preparing for the NFL Draft,as his son, Justin, went undrafted lastspring but ended up signing a rookie

free agent contract with the Indianapo-lis Colts. Justin Sinz and Karlen werehigh school teammates on Edgars 2009state championship team.

Sinz said Karlen has come a longway as a football player since his earlydays at Edgar Middle School. Karlenplayed several positions at Edgar HighSchool, including wide receiver, run-ning back, tight end and middle line-backer. He learned how to win at anearly age and was an all-conferenceand all-state linebacker in high school.

He was a member of Edgars staterunner-up team during his sophomore

season, and then he helped theWildcats garner two consecutivestate championships.

He credits Sinz for instilling awinning mentality in him that hasbred success.

I wouldnt have wanted to playfor any other coach than JerrySinz, Karlen said. He is a greatteacher of the game and we hadsuch a great game plan going intogames that we felt we werent goingto lose.

Karlen was determined to startas soon as he could at UW-StevensPoint, and he earned a startingposition at linebacker in only thethird game into his freshman sea-son. He never enjoyed pass cover-age, so after his first two years hedecided to try putting his hand inthe ground as a defensive end. Heended up loving to rush the passer.

He had a game for the agesagainst UW-La Crosse Oct. 31,when he recorded career highswith 12 tackles, seven-and-a-halftackles for loss and four sacks dur-ing a heavy mist in Stevens Point.Ten of his tackles were solo andhis seven-and-a-half tackles forloss set the Eagles back 30 yards.After the game, Karlen was namedWIAC Athlete of the Week duringOct. 26-Nov. 1 for the first time inhis career.

His superior performanceagainst UW-La Crosse also earnedhim a spot on the D3football.com

Team of the Week; he was the firstPointers football player to makethe team since 2010.

That week I just felt really com-fortable leading up to our gameagainst UW-La Crosse, and we hada good game plan, Karlen said.

Sinz joked with Karlen that somegain the stats he had in one gameduring an entire season. Karlenfinished his senior season with 61tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 11 sacksand three forced fumbles.

During his four-year career atUW-Stevens Point, Karlen rackedup 191 tackles, 38-and-a-half tack-les for loss, eight forced fumblesand 20-and-a-half sacks.

Karlen is also proud he has a 3.4

cumulative grade point average incollege, and he was one of threePointers named to the 2015 CollegeSports Information Directors ofAmerica Academic All-District 6first team.

He plans to graduate next fallwith a degree in sociology, and ifhis dream of making it to the NFLfalls short, then he wants to workas a police officer.

ReporterThe Record-

Review

One would think that I, after allthese years of hunting, would learnmy lesson and take advantage of myopportunities instead of waiting.

That was the case during openingday of the gun deer season. A doewalked right up to my tree standaround 8 a.m. Saturday, and I let hergo in anticipation a buck might fol-

low. It tur ned out the doe was alone.Saturday night I moved from atree stand inside the woods on myfathers hunting land in the town ofMarathon to another stand on theedge of the woods overlooking an al-falfa field. It turned out to be a wisemove because several does descend-ed on the field before dark to eat. Iagain let the does go in anticipationof possibly seeing a buck to shoot,but no bucks ever appeared.

Sunday was a new day of hunt-ing. The light snow falling in themorning made for a nice sight inthe woods, even though the one doe Isaw was too far away. But I was look-ing forward to hunting on the edgeof the woods in the afternoon again

after seeing so many deer feeding inthe field the prior night.

First I saw a red fox, which wascool to see scurrying around in thefield. Then a small doe came into thefield from the woods around 4 p.m.to eat right in front of me. I let hergo, until later when a bunch of does,similar to the ones I saw on openingnight, appeared to eat in the fieldagain.

I should have shot them when theywere closer to me, but I decided to letthem go until I thought to myself, IfI continue to wait for a trophy prizebuck, Im not going to have any veni-son to make into hot sticks and othertreats. So I put the scope of my 303British bolt-action gun on each doe,

attempting to size them up. I pickedout the largest doe and aimed thegun to where the heart is located onthe body.

The problem was I was shooting

out of a cheap ladder stand thatdidnt have any gun rests to help mekeep my gun stable during the shot.My gun was shaking so much that Icompletely missed the doe. I couldtell I had missed by the way the doeacted after my attempted shot, andI couldnt find any blood in the fieldwhere I attempted to shoot it.

The silver lining was that shortlyafterward, my father killed a largedoe from his nice homemade treestand. He cleaned out the deers vi-tals and intestines and I arrived todrag it out of the woods for him. Wetransported the deer to the farm towash it up and hang it up to skin itout. We knew the weather forecastwas for temperatures to rise into thelate 30s and early 40s early this week,so we decided to debone the deerright away.

Hunters like us need to becomeaccustomed to the new WisconsinDepartment of Natural Resourcesmethod of registering deer online orby calling a certain phone number.

We assumed we would still be able

to register the deer in person at Loo-neys Bar in the village of Marathon,but we heard the registration sta-tions were more dispersed this sea-son and our closest registration sta-tion was in the city of Mosinee.

You would think the DNRs newsystem of registering deer would bemore convenient, yet one Stratfordhunter told me he was on the phonefor 10 minutes registering his deer.At first glance it seems like therewould be more cases of huntersfraudulently not registering theirdeer, but I suppose those hunterswho cheated before are probably thesame ones cheating the deer regis-tration process again.

The good thing for me is there is

still time left in the nine-day gunseason for me to shoot a deer and dis-cover the new registration methodmyself.
