THE VOICE OF RHINELANDER & THE NORTHWOODS SINCE 1977
Rhinelander publisher is the heart and
soul of leather crafting worldwide
By Eileen Persike
Editor
What do handcrafted leather
saddles, leather-working tools and
Rhinelander have in common? Since
1990, the answer is Leather Crafters and Saddlers Journal. While the
Northwoods home of the Hodag may
seem an improbable location to publish this niche magazine, the story,
like many, has an unlikely beginning.
Charil Ries was in high school
when her father sold his business,
Ries Tire Service. She remembers
him driving her mother crazy because he wasn’t working. Bill Ries
had tinkered with leather working as
a Boy Scout, and was about to have
his interest rekindled.
“He found these tools in the basement and was, like ‘oooh… look at
these…’ Dad was a collector and
started collecting more and more
tools,” Charil recalled. “He also put
ads in the paper looking for old leather-working tools and information on
leather working. He found out about
a leatherworkers convention in Chicago, so he and my mother went.”
It was 1990. Leather Crafters and
Saddlers Journal, which was started
in 1956 and had gone by the names
Leather Craftsman, The Craftsman,
and Make it with Leather, had just
gone bankrupt. Again.

Charil Ries explains the ‘Sheridan style’ of leather work. The swirled design should make the
eye travel throughout the piece. This style is very popular among leather crafters in Asia.
“The leather club members at the
convention were sad because they
had just learned that the magazine
had gone defunct again and would
be no more,” Charil said. “He looked
at my mom and said, ‘should we buy
the magazine?’ and she responded,
‘well you have to do something!’”
And something they did. Publishing the magazine out of their home,

long enough, adapting to cold weather becomes
second-nature, but it can be easy to forget some of
the little things.
Cold weather affects every aspect of daily life,
even things as simple as being safe in your home.
Deputy Chief Josh Schmitz of the Rhinelander
Fire Department said they respond to a lot of winter fires that could easily have been avoided.
“People are using heating appliances,” he said.
“People using space heaters, it’s important to have
your space heater UL listed.”
UL means Underwriters’ Laboratories, a research company that tests safety factors of consumer products.

Long-time Oneida County judges reflect on sitting behind the bench
Portrait unveiling commemorates
their service
By Jared Raney
Reporter
Two retired pillars of the community were celebrated
this past week—judges Robert Kinney and Mark Mangerson, who together presided over Oneida County for a
combined 53 years.
Portraits of the judges were unveiled on Jan. 5, Kinney
in Branch I, Mangerson in Branch II.
As they say, a picture paints a thousand words, but if
that’s the case, the portraits that will hang in the judges’
respective courtrooms for the rest of the building’s history only give a glimpse into their colorful careers.

courtroom with the help of District Nine Chief Judge Neal Nielsen (right).
“The hanging of the portraits, it was king of a symbolic
thing,” Kinney said.
“The portrait is nice because of the fact that we invest our entire working lives trying to do things right, in
court,” Mangerson said. “I think it reminds the court of
what we’ve done.”
“You go back in the whole history of this county, and
there’s only five guys up there and now there will be six,”
Kinney said of the Branch I courtroom.
“You see all these people, all of them were judges, and
you know all of them were elected, all of them swore
to uphold the law, all of them did the best they could,”
Mangerson said. “I think that’s important, to see the continuity on the wall.”
“So there’s been, in other words, a lot of stability.

Editor:
Robert Orgeman’s letter (January 4,
2015) offered a bit of clever wit. However,
it calls for a dose of facts.
Ferguson. Do recall, please, that even
the prosecutor admitted he KNEW some
witnesses were lying, including one woman who claimed to have seen the shooting
but was not even in Ferguson. Do recall
that Officer Wilson came to Ferguson from
the nearby Jennings department that was
officially disbanded for racial tensions. Do
recall how many bullets were fired at Michael Brown and how many missed, going
somewhere astray. Do wonder why it took
so long for blood evidence to appear on the
gun and in the police vehicle. Remember
the O. J. Simpson case, in which blood was
transported back to and somehow appeared
inside the car. Do recall that the Ferguson
prosecutor directed the grand jury toward
non-indictment. Right now one of the
grand jury members is suing that prosecutor to have the lifetime gag order lifted.
And so on.
Your Al Sharpton reference merely fosters FOX News blatantly misusing its editing tricks once again. Sharpton DID NOT
lead the chant; rather, he declared his and
his group’s admiration and respect for police, recognizing the difficult and important work they do. Mr. Orgeman, I ask that
you let FOX have their First Amendment
privileges but that you examine the facts.
Mayor Deblasio of NYC has often stated
his respect and admiration for the police of
NYC and elsewhere. Still, the mayor does
recognize that there are problems that must
be addressed so that abuses end and we can
ALL, including the police, feel safer.
The President can protect the American
people by showing compassion, by trying
not to get us into more wars, by trying to
end the abusive and shameful way we have
handled Guantanamo, by respecting the
environment, and in many other ways. The
President also has stated and shown his respect for the Police.
One fact we must not ignore is that the
way to end injustice and abuse and fear and
danger and war and...and...and....well, the
way is not to call names and spread erroneous information. The real way is to show
respect and to COMMUNICATE and care
about one another. Too much of our national direction is headed toward the “bottom line” when it should be aimed (not
a gun reference) toward building up the
masses. Respect, sir, is a powerful word.

Writer says facts are needed
Editor:
The population of Rhinelander has
changed significantly over time. There
was a time when this city’s population was
mostly locals. Families were intercon-
nected through marriage and a very social environment existed. Friday evenings
downtown were a social gathering and the
stimulus was known as paper mill payday.
Family and friends would cross paths and it
was a time to catch up on family and gossip.
It was a beehive of activity and not one of
isolation. The vehicle traffic was so heavy
they put the no left turn signs downtown at
Brown St. and Davenport St. to keep traffic moving. Sidewalks were conducive to
pedestrian and handicapped traffic and not
blocked by portable advertising signs.
The downtown provided all that was
necessary which included men’s and women’s clothes, hair salons and barbershops,
food and beverages, shoes, sporting goods,
hardware stores, gifts, toys, drugstores,
lodging and entertainment, car sales and
appliance sales. All necessities were centrally located for visitors and locals and
for all train and bus and automobile traffic.
The city of Rhinelander also expanded industry for local job creation.
During these times I was always troubled by the resistance to grow progress and
expand by the city government and local
businesses but now I look at it with old
eyes and understand. When you progress
you also erase at the same time.
Locals passed away or retired to other
warmer climates and children became
more mobile and moved to other areas for
opportunity. The empty spaces expanded
and were filled with people from the cities who once vacationed in God’s Country
and consequently the influx of chain retail
stores. The buses and trains stopped operation. What we lost is that small town
sociability or flavor. Dressing up the downtown is like putting a suit on a blue collar
worker. It will improve his appearance but
the change will be insignificant on the individual traits. Or will making the downtown
area more comfortable and relaxing and,
in turn be conducive to old town public
socialization. What can we do to replace
what was erased in the name of progress.
Downtown wants to survive and the City
government wants it to survive and flourish
but is it supported by the same interest by
taxpayers or does isolation and non interest
prevail.

by hand, the couple had to start
everything from scratch, including
creating a subscription base. Bill
also began a trade show in Sheridan,
Wyoming which next month celebrates 22 years.
“It was the brainchild of my dad
and saddle maker Don King. They
wanted to create this space where
people could come together and
share ideas – about saddle making, about leather working. A place
where they could buy everything
they need,” according to Charil. “It
was a kind of renegade idea because
at that time, the early 90s, saddle
making was dying out, skills were
being lost, and no one was sharing ideas or talking about how they
were doing things. Artists were very
protective of their style and everyone thought he was crazy.” As a
testament to his foresight, the Sheridan trade show has 60 vendors, 110
booths, and an entire town full of attendees.
Bill Ries died in 2010; Charil
Ries and her husband, Ralph Solome, bought the business from her
mother two years ago, when she
retired. Charil had been around the
magazine since the beginning, but
perhaps not enough to realize what
she and Ralph were getting into.
The heart and soul of the industry
was literally dying.
“We were losing subscriptions,”
she said. “But we were fortunate
to get a phone call from one of our
contributors who said, ‘Here’s what
you gotta do – gotta change a few
things.’ And that’s scary. We had
to go back to the drawing board and
say, what’s gonna make a 25-year
old pick this up.”
After a lot of research and a redesign, today the full color, bi-monthly
magazine has just shy of 6,000 subscribers in 35 countries. In addition
to the Sheridan trade show, the couple also sponsors a southwest trade
show in Prescott, Arizona, and is in
the midst of planning the first ever
European trade show. A German
major in college, Charil says she
has always wanted to hold a show
in Germany so she could speak to
people. Ralph and Charil traveled
there in August to test the waters
and found they weren’t getting the
love they wanted from the German
people. Introduced to owners of
a wholesale company in Firminy,
France, the decision to go forward
with plans for a trade show in September, 2015 was made.
“We’re doing this to spread the
word that this art is not dead, and
there are other people in the world
doing it, and to bring them together,” Charil explained. “Just like the
idea my dad had in 1994, when they

Interestingly, while the craft is

State of the Arts
Giving Abstract Art a Chance
By Laura Ehmann
ArtStart
programming
director
A new abstract
works by painter T. L.
Solien are currently
on view at ArtStart in
downtown Rhinelander. Solien is an artist
of some reputation whose works are in the
permanent collections of the Art Institute
of Chicago, the Tate in London and the
Smithsonian in Washington D.C. In observing visitors to the gallery over the past
two months I have noted many different
reactions to his work.
Some were intrigued by the color and
the somewhat macabre figures in Solien’s
paintings. Children, in particular, seem
fascinated with his work. Others were disturbed by some of the dark imagery, and
still others wanted to know more about
what inspired the paintings. To me the
paintings create an expression of chaos,
which gives me a feeling that something’s
a bit off in his/our world. All of these reactions to Solien’s work have merit.
The confusion, fascination and in some
cases uneasiness that many feel in response
to his work is the exact reaction Solien is
looking for. He says he is interested in engaging the viewer’s imagination. “I want
them to think about what is possibly going
on, “ he stated at a recent Artist Talk during
the ArtStart opening.
What Solien is doing is extending an
invitation to open our minds, hearts and
imaginations to abstract art-to give it a
chance. The great thing about spending
some time with art is that it helps teach
us how to process abstract concepts. If we
look at a painting and really ask ourselves,
“Why does this painting make me feel this
way?” or “Why do I interpret the color red
as anger?”, it can give us some amazing insights into how our brains work.
Abstract art has been around since we
were cavemen and cavewomen—the earliest known works date back 70,000 years.
In that sense, there is nothing new or radical in modern abstract art as we know it.
All cultures, from ancient to modern times,
have a form of abstract art. Just think of African block-print cloths, intricate Tibetan
beadwork, Navajo blankets, Islamic geometric designs—just to name a few. These
cultures have been producing their abstract
artworks for centuries, before Western art
finally began producing its own version.
When I once visited an exhibition of
Picasso’s work years ago, the gallery tour
guide likened viewing abstract art to listening to music. When you listen to music, or
birdsong, you don’t try to hold on to the
notes - you let them wash over you. “Let
your eyes wander over the artwork the way
the notes of a symphony or your favorite
band wash over you,” she advised. “Let
your eyes dance around the piece.” She further recommended taking time to examine

the painting’s colors, forms, materials, surface and how they interact with each other.
Getting back to Solien’s work, we do
know something of where it comes from.
Whenever he embarks on a new series
of work he travels through epic topics of
American literature, history and culture,
including the novel, Moby-Dick and the
historic Oregon Trail. Whether imagining
the nomadic life of Ahab’s widow or con-
templating the restlessness that settled the
American West, Solien employs inventive
combinations of collage, paint, paper and
canvas to explore American myths.
Born in Fargo, North Dakota, and raised
across the Red River in Moorhead, Minnesota, Solien is currently Professor of
Painting at the University of WisconsinMadison. His new work will be on display
at ArtStart through January 17.
Local volunteer organization expands
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin
is expanding its programming in Rhinelander to include
Community-Based mentoring. When Big Brothers Big
Sisters began services in Rhinelander in January 2014,
the focus was exclusively on School-Based mentoring
because Kinship of the North provided CommunityBased Mentoring.
“The goal was to not duplicate services but to provide
additional opportunities for the children of the Rhinelander community to benefit from mentoring,” said Big
Brothers Big Sisters CEO Wesley Escondo.
In December 2014 Kinship of the North decided to
dissolve the agency with the understanding that Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin would
expand its services and provide Community-Based
mentoring in Rhinelander.
Since 1980, Kinship of the North has served the
youth of Oneida County with adult mentoring programs.
The officers of Kinship of the North are excited about
merging their resources with Big Brothers Big Sisters
of Northwestern Wisconsin. Those resources are committed to continuing the Community-Based mentoring
program begun by Kinship, as well as supplementing
the School-Based mentoring program of Big Brothers
Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin currently taking
place in the School District of Rhinelander.
“We are sorry to see the Kinship of the North mentor-

ing chapter end,” said Kinship of the North Board President Michelle Beard. “But we are confident the Big Brothers Big Sisters staff and volunteers will be of great service
to Oneida County children facing adversity. We want to
thank all the individuals and businesses who supported
Kinship throughout the years, and we sincerely hope that
you continue to support these vital programs through Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin.”
“We are excited to be able to expand our services in
Rhinelander, serve more children, and be able to offer
more options to both children and volunteers wanting to
be a part of a mentoring program,” Escondo said.
Big Brothers Big Sisters will now offer CommunityBased mentoring and School-Based mentoring in the
Rhinelander community. Community-Based mentoring
is the traditional mentoring program of Big Brothers Big
Sisters where the child and volunteer meet for an average
of one hour per week at a day and time that works for
both parties and participate in activities out in the community such as attend a football game, shoot hoops in
the park or bake cookies. In School-Based mentoring the
volunteer meets with the child at their school at a set day
and time each week and usually spends time during lunch
and recess sharing a meal and participating in activities
at the school, like playing board games, making crafts or
throwing a ball on the playground.

without leaving the kitchen
Winter, especially of late often
leaves us dreaming of getting out
of town, heading south, or even further, beyond the country’s borders.
And if exotic cuisine is available,
even better!
Exploring different cultures has
become increasingly mainstream
in today’s culinary world. ‘Fusion’
cuisine has claimed its stake on restaurant menus and can make an appearance in home kitchens for less
effort than you might imagine.
Get educated on ethnic eats
If you think the international food
aisle at the grocery store seems to
be growing, you’re not imagining
things. Between 2012 and 2017,
sales of ethnic foods in grocery
stores will increase more than 20
percent by some estimates.
South American cuisine is particularly hot - in flavor and popularity - with its spicy combination of
native and European influences in
indigenous foods like corn, peanuts,
avocados and all types of potatoes
and peppers.
Peruvian cuisine, which blends
ancient traditions with aspects of
European, African and Asian cultures, offers incredible diversity
and is high on the radar of culinary
professionals.
Experimentation
into less-familiar ethnic cuisine,
from Korean to Scandinavian, is
partially why pickled and fermented foods are getting more attention. Fermented foods pack a flavor
punch and health benefits, as they
can aid in digestion and nutrient
absorption.
Spice things up in the kitchen
Experimenting with different ingredients can take practice to find
the best combination for your taste.
Start with an ethnic side dish or garnish to introduce new flavors, then
work your way up to a multi-course
meal.
Jazz up bland chicken or pork in
your family’s meal rotation by creating a fusion dish that incorporates
a delicious, Asian-inspired condiment like blackberry five spice
sauce, which can quickly and easily
be whipped up in a high-powered
blender.
Add a taste of Scandinavia to your
cuisine with spices like allspice,
black pepper and nutmeg. These
flavors come together with garlic,
onion, white bread and ground beef
to create perfect Swedish meatballs.
Fresh dill is also extremely popular
in Nordic countries. Incorporate this
fresh herb into a creamy sauce for
fish or a tangy vinaigrette for salad
and vegetables.
A great way to introduce fermented foods is through kefir, a lactosefree milk naturally fermented from
kefir grains that originate from the
Caucasus Mountains in Eastern
Europe. Try it in your morning
smoothie. You can also join top
chefs in fermenting your own vegetables at home. Utilize them for
grilled sandwiches or as a tasty side.
Kimchi, a fermented Korean cabbage dish, is gaining popularity as a
spicy garnish for burgers and tacos.
If you can’t afford to hop on a
plane to an exotic locale, cooking brings culture straight to your
kitchen. Do your homework, don’t
be afraid of adventure, and pick up
the right tools along the way. You’ll
be exploring the world in no time.

3/4 C olive oil

3. Switch machine to Start and allow machine to complete programmed cycle. Use tamper if needed.
4. Select Variable 2 and remove lid plug.

“If they’re certified that it’s safe... that is they tip over
they’ll shut off by themselves,” Schmitz said. “If they’re not
they could tip against something and start a fire.”
Making sure fireplaces and chimneys are cleaned was another tip, as well as keeping plants and things that can dry out
well-watered.
“Everything is drier. They talk about Christmas trees, how
much you want to keep them watered because when they’re
dry they go up in seconds,” Schmitz said.
The most important thing when talking about winter safety
is being prepared.
“Hopefully your family has a plan already in place,”
Schmitz said. “Know your exits... Get everybody out and call
911... after that, go to a meeting place.”
“The fire doubles in size every minute, so if we’re there a
couple minutes sooner it’s going to make a big difference,”
he added.
Another danger that is often overlooked is carbon monoxide poisoning, which is more frequent in winter.
This time of the year with snow drifts, snow falling off
roofs can block vent pipes for your heating appliances or for
the vents for the furnaces. Then carbon monoxide can back
up into your house if those vents aren’t cleared. That’s a big
one,” Schmitz said. “People, if they get headaches, nausea,
are feeling tired a lot, if they start to feel better when they
leave their home, that’s a sign that it could be carbon monoxide in your house.”
Often forgotten when preparing for winter are pets. Even
though they are, in most cases, covered in hair, they are still
vulnerable to below freezing temperatures.
Veterinarian Dr. Kerry Hagen from the Animal Health
Care Center said safety factors are really depentant on the
pet—if it’s a long-haired hunting dog who’s used to being
outside, it may be able to stay outside all year.
“As long as they have shelter and they’re used to being outside, that’s the key,” Hagen said.
But she said even outside dogs should have elevated ground
to sleep on, as well as a heated water bowl and extra food.
“They usually need more food, too, when it’s really cold,
because their metabolism’s burning to keep them warm,” Hagen said. “So giving them a little extra food is a good idea.”
When it comes to other pets, Hagen said owners need to
be more careful.
“For most like house pets, if you wouldn’t want to be out
there for that long then they shouldn’t be either,” she said.
Other than making sure your pet is staying warm, when letting them outside Hagen recommended checking their paws
for salt and other substances they may walk through like antifreeze. Salt can create sores on their pads, and antifreeze
would be toxic if the animal were to lick it off their paws
following a walk.
Hagen also said they see a lot of trauma incidents in the
winter. Everything from getting hit by snowmobiles to slipping on the ice.
If you have a snowmobile trail near your house, don’t let
your dog go running... slipping, elderly dogs that are arthritic
and have a hard time getting around, ice can be really challenging.” Hagen said. “I had one dog get injured by the shovel, because its owner was shovelling, and it ran in front of the
shovel.”
When the weather starts to thaw, lakes and ponds become
tracherous for pets, the thinning ice a danger that needs to be
looked out for.
In general, both Hagen and Schmitz said to err on the side
of caution.
“It’s kind of pet specific, but if people have questions, just
call their vet and ask if it doesn’t seem obvious,” Hagen said.
“There’s no hurt in calling us, you know, there’s not a
charge for us to come,” Schmitz said.
Whether for your pet or yourself, one should never underestimate the dangers of winter. No matter what you’re doing,
one should always plan ahead and prepare as best you can.

Rhinelander Young Professionals
to present mini financial seminar
Rhinelander’s Young Professionals group will hold
a mini financial seminar for all local young professionals on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 5 p.m. Hosted by the
Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce, the seminar
will be provided at no cost for attendees through the
support of Heck Capital Advisors and Stifel.
Speakers will present a variety of financial subjects
for those who are looking to make financial decisions
early-on in their careers. Presenters will include David
Holperin, branch manager of Stifel, Nils Dillon, investment performance analyst with Heck Capital Advisors
and Michael Johnson, a research analyst at Heck Capital
Advisors.
The Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce,
in partnership with the UW-Extension, invites professionals between the ages of 21 and 35 to join the
Rhinelander Young Professionals group for this and
other events. RSVPs may be directed to [email protected] or by calling 715-365-7464.
The Young Professionals group seeks to help develop the Rhinelander area’s future leaders by providing
ambitious young professionals with the opportunity to
build relationships, serve the community, and network
with other area professionals. The group meets once
per month to participate in a variety of service, social
and educational activities.
We’re just two weeks into the new
year but many are already looking
forward to the weekend of February 14-15, 2015 here in Rhinelander. Returning for its 39th year, the
Rhinelander Lion’s Club Fisheree
& Winter Festival will offer fun for almost the entire
family - so mark your calendars now!
Known as the “Ice Fishing Capital of the World,”
Rhinelander has long celebrated the sport of ice fishing. The Fisheree will welcome hundreds of fishermen
to the ice on Boom Lake Valentine’s Day weekend for
the chance to win cash prizes, raffles, and more than
a little bit of pride. If you have not participated in the
past or at least driven by the event to see the spectacle,
you should get it on your calendar now to head that
way at some point over the Fisheree weekend.
Those who would like to compete in the tournament
can pick-up their entry tickets now at a number of area
establishments listed on www.ExploreRhinelander.
com, by visiting the Chamber of Commerce, or by mailing the $10 entry fee to the Rhinelander Lions Club P.O.
Box 1005, Rhinelander, WI by Feb. 1, 2015.
For the fourth year the Lions Club has partnered
with a number of community groups to bring more to
the Fisheree weekend for those looking for something
beyond ice fishing. The Fisheree and Winter Festival
now includes a 5K winter adventure race, snowshoe
race, snowshoe demonstrations and plenty of fun.
The inaugural Flannel Face Off 5K adventure race
will kick things off at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 14. This
new event replaces the broomball tournament and will
pit competitors against each other in a test of Northwoods-style skill, endurance, and fortitude. Modeled
after many of the popular summer adventure races, the
Flannel Face Off will feature obstacles only found “Up
North.” Competitors will have to drill through the ice
using a hand auger, drag a “deer carcass” along a portion of the course, scale snowbanks, carry an armful of
firewood from one location to another, and drag a sled
full of ice fishing gear out across the ice. All in all, it
should be more than a fun time for both competitors
and spectators. To register for the Flannel Face Off, visit
www.ExploreRhinelander.com or contact the Chamber
of Commerce - we’ll be happy to get you signed-up!
Back for its fourth year will be the Hodag Snow
Dash. This 5K snowshoe race will be held in the morning on Sunday Feb. 15, 2015. There will be an individual race as well as a family relay race portion of
the event. If you don’t have your own snowshoes but
would still like to race we’ll have snowshoes available
to borrow as well. The race kicks off at Hodag Park
by the concession stand and the course winds through
the park and gives you great views of the lake and surrounding area. Registration will be available through
the YMCA of the Northwoods and the Chamber of
Commerce in just a couple weeks.
Make plans today to ensure you’ll be able to be a
part of the fun at the Lions Club Fisheree & Winter
Festival on February 14-15 here in Rhinelander. Pick
either day to head to Hodag Park so you won’t miss
the action.

HEALTH
Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation (MCRF) has
received a $620,000 grant to promote vaccination against
a common infection that can cause cancer.
The two-year project, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will supplement existing activities at Marshfield Clinic aimed at increasing
adolescent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination
rates.
“Increasing HPV vaccine uptake is a public health priority. The more adolescents who are vaccinated now, the
more people we can protect against HPV- related cancers
like cervical cancer in the future.” said Huong McLean,
Ph.D., one of the study’s lead investigators at MCRF.
HPV is actually a group of more than 100 kinds of
viruses. Most HPV infections are harmless, but some can
lead to cancer or genital warts. An estimated 79 million
Americans are infected with HPV, with 14 million new
infections each year. But like several other infections
such as meningitis or pertussis, HPV can be prevented
with a safe and effective vaccine.
“Prior research suggests there is often hesitation with
the HPV vaccine. Some parents aren’t sure how safe it
is or if is worthwhile for their child, so they hold off on
it,” said Jeffrey VanWormer, Ph.D., one of two epidemiologists leading the study at MCRF’s Center for Clinical
Epidemiology and Population Health. “But no studies on
this topic have been conducted in our area of Wisconsin
yet, so we know very little about what influences the decision to get the HPV vaccine here.”
Three doses of HPV vaccine are recommended for 11and 12-year-old girls and boys. The vaccine is most effective when received before a person is exposed to an
infection, and immune response to the vaccine is better in
younger adolescents. Currently in the U.S., less than 40
percent of adolescent girls – and 14 percent of adolescent
boys – get all three required doses of the HPV vaccine.
“The HPV vaccine is safe and effective, but very few
adolescents have received the vaccination to prevent
these serious diseases that HPV causes,” McLean said.
“What we learn from this project may inform how other
health care systems can reduce the burden of HPV infection in the patient populations they serve, which could
eventually help decrease the rates of some cancers.”

Outdoor Report
Warmer weather forecasted
to bring better fishing
A bitter cold week sapped the impetus out of the
joys of being outside. That was the downside to
the week. The good news is that temperatures this
weekend will begin a steady rise that will carry into
the upcoming week. The week ahead may bring
a winning combination of decent snow cover and
moderate (for January) temperatures.
Cold weather rarely brings snow of any consequence but certainly serves to hold such snow as
we have. That is good news for skiers and snowmobilers. Both camps can take some satisfaction in
that. Ski trails have shown steady improvement as
a few small snowfalls can add up. This weekend
and next week should find good to very good trail
conditions on all area ski trails. Warmer weather
will help make it more reasonable to get out and
enjoy skiing.
Snowmobile trails take more snow to get a good
base and can get beaten down faster under heavy
use. Conditions over the holiday week were good,
all things considered. Trails can now be groomed
with some consistency and most lakes and low, wet
areas are rideable. The weekend should bring good
trail conditions though be aware of some thin spots
in sections of heavy use.
Keep in mind that snowmobile trails can vary a
fair amount based on the simple fact that some areas
of the county (and region) can pick up an inch or two
of snow more than other areas that are not too far
away. So a trail may have some sections that run thin
but transition into areas of better cover. Trails in the
north and west of Oneida County have generally had
more snow and are running pretty good.
The hard cold has added to lake ice but that cold
has also cut into anglers being willing to get out
on the ice. Let’s face it, ice fishing in the minus
teens can be a challenge. The warming weather
ahead should bring better conditions for ice fishing
and we expect steady angling success in the week
ahead.
The Outdoor Report is provided by the staff of
Mel’s Trading Post in downtown Rhinelander.
Program
nized experts on diet, nutrition, obesity, food psychology, diabetes and heart disease rated the diets

loss. Research shows 47 lbs. average weight loss
for a mix of HMR Decision-Free® and Healthy Solutions® clinic patients with a BMI of 40 or greater
who completed the program for at least 12 weeks.
Outdoor Adventures
When cold is more than
just a number
By Mitch Mode
There is no cold like city cold. Walk
a concrete sidewalk packed with snow;
face the wind that is funneled by high,
hard walls of buildings that rise and
disappear into heavy haze. Wind blows
hard and the canyons of stone and glass
funnel it and focus it and bring it more
power. Air damp even at zero degrees;
snow spits hard and biting with the
wind behind it. Walkers bend into the wind, angled forward, shoulders hunched awkwardly up to their ears in a
cold-weather contortion.
They say that the cold cuts like a knife but no, in reality
cold is like water; all enveloping, swirling and surrounding one; looking for seams and leaks and on finding them,
working in, closer to the heart of things. Cold air is like
cold water; it shocks one at first contact; then works steadily to rob heat and vitality. In the dark night of January my
thoughts turn to warm months and open water not as an attempt to escape the reality of the cold but instead to find
similarity in it all.
But on the city streets the cold seems worse and we
walked early this past week under dim streetlights in driven
snow with packed sidewalk snow squeaking under foot. It
seemed colder that night at zero than it did 12 hours earlier
at home at minus 20. Or near minus 20. Who quibbles about
a degree or two?
Not that the minus teens did not bring a chill and a longing for plus zero temperatures; once they are gone it seems
they will never return. But on Monday morning when the
bottom dropped out of the thermometer the sky was clear
and blue and the sun shone it did not feel that cold. Really.
The sun made the snow on the top of the truck glisten and
glitter as if it was covered in precious minerals, diamonds
perhaps; the age-old image of snow under sun that never
seems to lose favor. We were on a schedule this early week
morning, a drive to Madison for a buying show; a review of
new gear and clothing for next winter. I needed simply to
back the truck out, change out with Sally’s car, load it and
point it south.
There is no sound quite as disheartening as a truck that
will not start on a cold day in January. The sullen grinding noise sounds out as a dirge on a cold day signaling to
anyone in earshot that things are not right in this side of
Paradise. Not that many linger in such weather to hear such
tidings.
Nor do many linger in an ill-begotten attempt to make
things any better. I have no clear idea of the exact process
by which an engine actually starts but do know that if the
beast does not get up and run after two attempts that one is
wasting one’s time.
But walking back to the door with a truck that was dead
as stone didn’t improve my mood and I felt the cold more
then than I had when I went out to start the truck. I walked
in, told Sally the truck was dead and then I stomped down
the basement where, by a stroke of luck, I found the battery
charger that on this day was celebrating its one year anniversary as my go-to miracle worker on cold days.
It was one year ago on the same day of the month that
we woke to temperatures near 30 below; neither car nor
truck would start; I replaced both batteries and for good
measure bought the battery charger. On that day I worked
with bare hands to change the batteries (in their lifeless
state they resembled concrete blocks), all the time thinking uncharitable thoughts about the Wisconsin weather
in January. That was the week that the term Polar Vortex
came into our lives and with it the real vortex, which by
any name was a real bugger.
That day we drove to Madison and walked into the show
hours behind schedule and the first person I bumped into
said, “I heard about Rhinelander on the news today,” and
when I asked him why, he said because it was the coldest
place in the nation.
Before that day was over two or three more mentioned the
same thing and I was feeling pretty good about it all; bragging rights were mine! I figured it you were going to have
cold weather you might as well go all in and have it really
cold! There is no practical difference between 20 below and
25 below; it’s not as if you dress lighter for minus 20. Get
south of 15 below and you’re pretty well bundled up with
all you’ve got. So the few degrees we needed to take the title
that day of Coldest Spot in the Nation were chump change
in the scheme of things.
I played it pretty casual that day. People would ask how
cold it was at home and I’d say that I wasn’t sure, maybe 25
or 30, and they’d ask in puzzlement; “Below?” and I’d give
them a look like somebody gives someone who’s slow on
the uptick and say, yes, below, as if it wasn’t a big deal to us
hardy northern types.
I felt pretty cocky that day what with it being so cold
that we made the news. I felt less chippy about it with the
passing weeks when the cold never really moved out and
everyone was feeling down in the dumps about it, myself
included. If you can’t move the marker the extra few ticks
to make it newsworthy there’s not much good that you can
take on a dark, cold morning.
This week the charger did its work on the battery and we
were on the road without wasting too much time. When we
got to the show nobody said anything about us having the
coldest temperatures of the day and all we could say is that
it was minus 20 or so at home and let it go at that. Nobody
seemed as impressed as they had last year.
We worked the show Monday and Tuesday, looking at
winter boots and jackets and such. When a sales rep would
hold up, say, a winter jacket and tell me that it was really
warm I’d ask how did they think it would do that day, outside where it was near zero and the wind was snapping the
flags so that they sounded like castanets. If they hesitated at
all I figured the jacket wasn’t all that warm and maybe I’d
look elsewhere.
In the evenings we went out for dinner and walked on
the hard streets under a snow on Monday and into a snappy
wind on Tuesday and I thought to myself: There is no cold
like city cold.
I thought back to last winter when I walked to work when
it was 25 below and when I skied the Birkebeiner when it
was 15 below at that start and I knew it would take nearly
4 hours for me to complete it. I thought back to the bitter
cold last year, cold that never seemed to end, cold that was
invigorating at first, discouraging as it continued; downright
depressing by March. But it never seemed as cold as city
cold.
I thought to myself on those evenings this week, thought;
this is cold and it’s bitter and I don’t enjoy it one bit, but on
Thursday when I have the day off I’m going to go skiing, no
matter what. I can ski in the trees sheltered from the wind.
I can ski in the cold and I can enjoy it. Because cold in the
woods doesn’t seem as cold as it does in the city. There is no
cold as cold as city cold.

Judges
And that’s very good, because people are
better judges if they know the lay of the
land,” Kinney said.
Mangerson was actually the first judge
to ever sit the Branch II bench in Oneida
County, and as such was able to create a
unique standard for future judges’ portraits.
“Judge Kinney in Branch I has all of
these photographs of the judges who preceded him,” Mangerson said. “They’re all
photographs, and they’re all framed alike.
Well in Branch II I didn’t have that restriction.”
Mangerson’s portrait, unlike the portraits in Branch I, is an oil painting. But
that’s not the only reason it’s unique. The
portrait was also painted by Mangerson’s
son.
“We have a unique thing where he happens to be a judge, I happen to be a painter,” said Jesse Mangerson, son of Judge
Mangerson and assistant director of the
MFA Fine Art program at the San Francisco Academy of Art. “I told him I wanted to paint a portrait of him at one point
anyway... But then, to think of it hanging
here, for the rest of time hopefully, it’s a
really great thing.”
Both judges said they enjoyed their
time on the bench, and have few regrets,
but there were still parts of the job that
wore on them.
“Some cases are difficult because the
legal system doesn’t lend itself to resolving the issue,” Mangerson said. “The
third time drunk driver, you know, whom
I had given the spiel to the first time... I
really didn’t enjoy it when people actively avoided having the system work for
them.”
In some cases a defendant would be
Ask a local before going on the ice
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is reminding outdoor enthusiasts that
no ice is safe ice, even with the sub –zero
temperatures in the Northwoods, and to remember that the DNR does not monitor ice
conditions.
“It truly is up to the individual to learn
the ice conditions. Talk to other ice fishers,
snowmobilers, fishing clubs around the lake
and bait store owners around the water body,”
according to DNR recreational safety warden
April Dombrowski. “Similar to looking for
information on how the fish are biting on a
lake, it’s best to go with the local experts.”
The ice conditions on any lake can vary
from location to location. “You cannot determine the strength of an ice cover by a single
factor – including how thick it is, or how
long it’s been forming or the snow on top of
it,” Dombrowski says. “Moving water from
streams, rivers and springs can cause ice to
form unevenly.”
“Wisconsin’s winters can be a lot of fun
with all the outdoor recreational opportunities,” Dombrowski says. “With just a bit of
coming to the judges for more than a third
time. In Wisconsin OWI law, penalties
stop increasing after the “tenth or greater
offense,” which unfortunately Mangerson
has seen before.
“It’s quite obvious, if somebody’s
charged for the tenth time, then none
of the typical cause and effect dispositions worked,” he said. “That was frustrating... there’s nothing I can do. Sure,
I can make you miserable... it’s just not
relevant. Because you haven’t changed,
six or seven or eight times, you’re not going to change now.”
“I saw some members of certain families three or four generations in the 31
years I was on the bench,” Kinney said of
his own frustrations.
In today’s courtroom judges are experimenting with new types of correctional
judiciary.
“Judges are expected to take a handson approach, and be more or less social
workers in a lot of situations,” Mangerson said of the change in tactics. “It’s
frustrating because you can’t get them to
change... Oneida County is getting into it
finally, and that is where the courts actually get into a one-on-one relationship with
the offender in drunk driving. It’s called
OWI Courts.”
Mangerson said he has concerns about
the way this new system could affect
judges’ abilities to stay neutral, but understands the difficult position they are in.
“The judiciary is still, as it always has,
doing an excellent job for the citizens of
Wisconsin, with too little money.” Mangerson said. “But if it works, more power
to them.”
Kinney also reflected on the changes
since he began his judicial career at the
exceptionally young age of 28.
“One of the great changes I’ve seen is
when I came here as District Attorney,
“
planning for safety’s sake, you’ll come home
with some fun stories about enjoying the outdoors.”
And who doesn’t love a good story!
Follow standard ice safety tips when going out on the ice:
• Dress warmly in layers.
• Don’t go alone. Head out with friends
or family. Take a cell phone if available.
And, if you have a cell phone or not, make
sure someone knows where you are and
when you are expected to return.
• Know before you go. Don’t travel in
areas you are not familiar and don’t travel
at night or during reduced visibility.
• Avoid inlets, outlets or narrows that
may have currents that can thin the ice.
Look for clear ice, which is generally
stronger than ice with snow on it or bubbles in it.
• Carry some basic safety gear: ice
claws or picks, a cellphone in a waterproof
bag or case, a life jacket and length of rope.
I don’t think I
miss the work,
but I certainly miss the
people I worked with.

retired Oneida County judge
the Sheriff had an eighth-grade education,” Kinney said. “Now they don’t hire
anybody without a four-year degree. And
there are cops I’ve worked with here that
had Masters degrees... In other words, law
enforcement is much more professional
than it was. They’re much better trained.”
Judges work closely with the local
police department, and both Kinney and
Mangerson said that was a good experience.
“I have not seen a better-run department
than the one here,” Kinney added.
But it wasn’t just the police department
that the judges enjoyed working with. The
duo made a point of how much they enjoyed their co-workers, Mangerson saying at the unveiling, “I don’t think I miss
the work, but I certainly miss the people I
worked with.”
“I was always proud of the fact that
I was part of that and that the people
I worked with and who worked with
me— the clerks, the court reporters, the
police—were all squeaky clean,” Kinney
said. “You have all this recent talk about
horrible government [outside of Wisconsin], and I have a hard time identifying
with any of that because that isn’t what
I knew.”
“People don’t know how much effort

state put in each and every day supporting
their judge in his or her decisions,” Mangerson said at the unveiling. “And that’s
what I miss, I miss rubbing elbows with
some of the finest employees I’ve ever
seen anywhere.”
Judge Kinney served Oneida County
for 31 years in Branch 1, Mangerson for
23 years in Branch II before moving on
to a position in the Court of Appeals in
Wausau. Today they both serve as reserve
judges, in addition to remaining active
with several committees, and in Kinney’s
case running a side business in mediation.
“When I first took office, I can remember, when it was my turn to speak I said,
what we’re looking for here is, win or
lose, we want every person to leave the
court feeling like they got a fair shake,”
Mangerson said.

“I enjoy being involved with the Rhinelander
Ambassadors, the Rhinelander Chamber
of Commerce and the food pantry. I have
managed West Bay Campground for a long
time and the campers there are like family to
me. People from out of town like our friendly
atmosphere in Rhinelander and that’s why they
keep coming back here.
It’s why I wanted to come back here, too. I’m
originally from Rhinelander and dreamed of
returning here to live after I retired.
There’s a lot of opportunity here and a lot of
growth going on in Rhinelander, and I like
being part of that. I always look forward to
Wednesdays because I get the Buyers’ Guide,
