MICHAEL SULLIVAN/THE NEWS-REVIEW VIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Students, staff and faculty are evacuated from Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, Thursday after a deadly shooting.

Students gunned down in Oregon


At least nine
killed at college
The Associated Press

A gunman opened fire


at a rural Oregon community college Thursday,
killing at least nine people
before dying in a shootout
with police, authorities
said. One survivor said
he demanded his victims
state their religion before
he started shooting.
The killer, identified
only as a 20-year-old man,
invaded a classroom at
Umpqua Community College in the small timber
town of Roseburg, about
180 miles south of Portland. Authorities shed no
light on his motive and said
they were investigating.
Douglas County Sheriff
John Hanlin said 10 people were dead and seven
wounded after the attack.
He did not clarify whether
the number of dead included the gunman.
Earlier, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said 13 people were
killed. It was unclear what
led to the discrepancy.
Hours after the attack,
a visibly angry President
Barack Obama spoke to
reporters, saying the U.S.
is becoming numb to mass
shootings and that the
shooters have sickness
in their minds.
Repeating his support for tighter gun-control measures, he said
thoughts and prayers are
no longer enough in such
situations because they
do nothing to stop similar

attacks from happening


a few weeks or months
later.
Douglas County Sheriff
John Hanlin said the gunman was killed during an
exchange of gunfire with
officers. The sheriff did
not say whether the shooter was killed by officers or
took his own life.
Kortney Moore told the
Roseburg News-Review
newspaper that she was in
a writing class when a shot
came through a window.
The gunman entered her
classroom and told people
to get on the ground. The
man then started asking
people to stand up and
state their religion and
opened fire.
Lorie Andrews, who
lives across the street
from the campus, said
she heard what sounded

like fireworks followed by


sirens. She walked up the
road and spoke to students
who had streamed out.
One girl came out
wrapped in a blanket with
blood on her, Andrews
said.
The school has about
3,000 students.
The sheriffs office reported on Twitter that it
received a call about the
shooting at 10:38 a.m. The
local fire district advised
people via Twitter to stay
away from the school.
Later in the day, students and faculty members were being bused to
the county fairgrounds,
the sheriffs office said.
Former UCC President Joe Olson, who retired in June after four
years, said the school had
no formal security staff,

just one officer on a shift.


One of the biggest
debates on campus last
year was whether to post
armed security officers on
campus to respond to a
shooting.
I suspect this is going to start a discussion
across the country about
how community colleges
prepare themselves for
events like this, he said.
Roseburg
Public
Schools Superintendent
Gerry Washburn said a
large number of Roseburg High School students
go straight to UCC after
graduation.
We are a small, tight
community, and there is
no doubt that we will have
staff and students that
have family and friends
impacted by this event,
he said.

Friends and family are reunited with students at the local fairgrounds after a deadly shooting at Umpqua
Community College, in Roseburg, Oregon, Thursday.

One of Shawanos largest manufacturers, Wisconsin Film & Bag, has a


new owner, the company
announced on Thursday.
Novolex, a packaging
company headquartered
in Hartsville, South Carolina, and owned by investment group Wind Point
Partners, acquired Film
& Bag for an undisclosed
amount. The deal was
closed Thursday.
Wisconsin Film & Bag
President Jim Feeney
said the purchase was a
great opportunity for the
company.
We spent a good
amount of time looking for
our next owner, Feeney
said, adding that Novolex
was a hand-in-glove fit.
Novolex manufactures
packaging for retail, grocery, food service, hospitality, institutional and
industrial markets. The
company has 37 manufacturing plants with the addition of Wisconsin Film &
Bag, according to a news
release from the company.
Feeney said Film &
Bag wanted an owner that
would commit to growing
the company in Shawano
and worked with an investment banking firm to
shop the company around.
There were 10 or 12
companies we showed the
business to, Feeney said.
He said Novolex was
committed to expanding
the Shawano plant.
Its important we

keep this successful plant


here, he said Weve
got a wonderful group of
employees.
The Film & Bag workforce in Shawano has
grown from just over 100
five years ago to nearly
180 today, according to
Feeney.
I wouldnt be surprised to see that grow to
200 or 210 over the next
year, he said.
Feeney said the plant
would expand under Novolex, with additional extruders and an expansion
of the recycling facility.
Feeney said there
were a number of factors
that attracted Novolex to
the company, including
its sales and distribution
strength, and its growth
over the last several years.
Feeney said Film &
Bag has had 11 record
months in each of the last
two years.
Weve been growing
strongly, he said.
Stan Bikulege, chairman and CEO of Novolex,
said the company was excited about the addition of
Film & Bag.
This is important to
us because it will further
enhance our high-quality
packaging choices for customers while advancing
our position as the industry leader in sustainability, he said. Its a great
fit for Novolex and we will
look forward to integrating
the Shawano team with
our successful Novolex
Custom Film & Bag brand.
Our focus is to continue
to invest in our business
and supply our customers with world class pa-

Citing the communitys right to be informed


on public health issues,
The Shawano Leader on
Thursday asked a district attorney to examine

closed-door meetings of
the county health board
to discuss local cases of
tuberculosis.
The newspapers action follows meetings
of the Shawano County
Board of Health and Veteran Services that ex-

cluded the public during


discussion of the tuberculosis cases on Aug. 17
and Sept. 21.
In both cases, the
health board invoked
a provision of the Wisconsin Open Meetings
Law that permits closed

meetings to deliberate on
real estate dealings or investment of public funds.
Board members later
said that no such discussions took place and
that the board instead
reviewed the tuberculosis situation Shawano
Countys first confirmed
cases of the deadly dis-

ease in nearly 10 years.


In a letter Thursday
to the Shawano County
district attorney, Leader
publisher Greg Mellis
alleged that the closeddoor meetings violated
the law, and he asked
the district attorney to

Man arrested in
Internet sex sting
By Tim Ryan
tryan@wolfrivermedia.com

A Fond du Lac man


who came to the town
of Wescott on Monday
night for what he allegedly thought was going to
be sex with a 15-year-old
girl was instead arrested by Shawano County
authorities.
Lawrence A. Wafer, 52,
was charged Thursday
with felony counts of using
of a computer to facilitate
a sex crime and possession of child pornography.
On Friday, a Shawano
County sheriffs detective, working undercover
as part of the Internet
Crimes Against Children
Wisconsin Task Force,
went on the Internet posing as a 15-year-old girl.
According to the criminal complaint, he was
contacted by Wafer, who
began exchanging texts
with the supposed girl.
The exchanges included
graphic sexual comments
and photos, according to
the complaint.
A rendezvous was
eventually set up for Monday night. Wafer was taken into custody without
incident when he arrived.
He could face a maximum
40 years in prison and
$100,000 fine if convicted
of using a computer to fa-

cilitate a sex crime.


He could also face a
maximum 25 years in
prison and $100,000 fine
for possession of child
pornography.
According to the complaint, Wafer was in possession of three digital
child porn photos; two
showing
pre-pubescent
girls engaged in sex acts
and another showing a naked female toddler.
Wafer is also charged
with misdemeanor counts
of possession of marijuana
and drug paraphernalia
and bail jumping.
Wafer was ordered held
on a $10,000 cash bond
Thursday after a hearing
before Shawano-Menominee County Circuit Court
Judge James Habeck.
He is scheduled for an
adjourned initial appearance on Oct. 12.
The sheriffs office on
Thursday issued a statement about the arrest.
The Shawano County
Sheriffs Office is aware
that opportunistic predators are an ever present
reality on the Internet and
will continue to operate
proactively to detect and
intervene prior to there
being any potential where
the victimization of a child
is the intent of any individual, it said.

Shkreli a 32-year-old

Shkreli has also done
the American people a service by showing in high def
how the pharmaceutical

pharmaceutical industry
is angry with him for the
same reason.
Drugmakers prefer a
subtler approach. Do it
quietly and with a touch
more nuance. For example, the day Valeant Pharmaceuticals acquired two
heart drugs, it raised the
prices for them by only 525
percent and 212 percent.
That was a model of
self-control next to Shkrelis instant 5,455 percent
price hike on a62-year-old
lifesaving drug.
To recap, Shkrelis
startup company recently
bought the marketing
rights to Daraprim and
proceeded to raise the
price from $13.50 a pill to
$750. (It used to cost $1.)
Daraprim is often the last
hope for cancer patients
and others with weak immune systems suffering
from parasitic infections.
No other industrialized
country lets drugmakers
pick prices out of thin air
and assume patients, insurers and taxpayers will
somehow come up with
the ransom. The U.S. setup comes courtesy of our
lawmakers in Washington,
above all our Republican
lawmakers.
In the Valeant case,
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a
Vermont independent
seeking the Democratic
presidential nod, demanded documents defending the price increases.
Valeant said no, that such
information is highly proprietary and confidential.
Governments elsewhere, however far to
the left or right, see
negotiating drug prices
for their people as a duty
of leadership. The United
States does little of that. In
fact, the law establishing
the Medicare prescription
drug benefit specifically
forbids the government to
negotiate drug prices.
In our skewed political
language, Republicans
denounce proposals to
have the federal government negotiate Medicare
drug prices as an attack on
our allegedly free-market
system. Somehow letting
the taxpayers defend their
interests is socialism.
It is true, as Republicans say, the Medicare
drug program is costing
less than originally projected. This is a shell game.
The relevant comparison is what the drug
benefit costs next to what
it would have cost had
the government been allowed to bargain on prices.
Taxpayers could save up
to $16 billion a year if Medicare did the negotiating,
according to a recent estimate in The Wall Street
Journal.
The week Shkreli
revealed the creepy reality
of drug pricing, Hillary
Clinton issued a proposal
to curb profiteering by
the drug industry. Biotech
stocks promptly took a hit
on Wall Street.
That hedge funder let
the cat out, for sure, and
it will be screeching right
through Halloween. Some
boys are so bad they do
good.

Hurricanes path
remains unclear
Hurricane Joaquin is locked
in a dance with an extraordinarily heavy rainstorm that is already drenching the Carolinas.
As the two draw closer together
over the next few days, the effects could be disastrous for the
East Coast.
The rainstorm will determine
where Joaquin goes and how
much of the coast floods. Storm
No. 1 could push Joaquin out
to sea or pull it into the heavily
crowded Northeast.
At the same time, Joaquin
is feeding the storm with moisture, contributing to its torrential rain.
Meteorologists are deeply
uncertain about where Joaquin
will go. But they warn that the
record-breaking
downpours
from storm No. 1 are a sure and
scary thing, at least for an area
stretching from South Carolina
to Washington.
Joaquin strengthened over
the Bahamas into a powerful
Category 4 storm with 130 mph
winds Thursday, and computer
models over the past two days
have switched back and forth,
sometimes showing it blowing
ashore along the East Coast,
sometimes showing it peeling
out to sea.

Tests on ducks could


help predict bird flu
As the poultry industry braces for a potential return of bird
flu this fall, wildlife managers expect the first results next week
from tests that could provide an
early warning on whether ducks
are carrying the disease as they
fly south for the winter.
Department of Natural Resources staffers were out last

MIKE MILLER/THE PRESS OF ATLANTIC CITY VIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Luke Seymour, of Canton, New York, braves 30-knot winds and heavy surf to try his luck fishing off the Second Avenue beach
Thursday in North Wildwood, New Jersey. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of emergency ahead of a storm expected
to bring heavy rain and flooding.

Cornicelli, the DNRs wildlife research manager, says they got


more than halfway to their goal
of collecting 800 samples from
ducks shot by hunters.
The samples will be tested for
highly pathogenic bird flu viruses such as H5N2, the kind that
devastated the Midwest poultry
industry earlier this year.
Cornicelli says he expects
to get the first test results back
early next week.

Experian says T-Mobile


customers info hacked
Hackers have stolen personal information belonging to
about 15 million T-Mobile wireless customers, including Social
Security numbers, home addresses, birthdates and other
personal information.

The hackers got the information from credit reporting


agency Experian, which T-Mobile uses to check the credit of
its customers. Experian said TMobile customers who applied
for wireless service between
Sept. 1, 2013 and Sept. 16, 2015,
may have had their information
stolen.
Experian said it immediately
notified law enforcement authorities after discovering the
hack and that there is no evidence to-date that the data has
been used inappropriately.

WASHINGTON

EPA tightens limits on


smog-causing ozone
The Obama administration
on Thursday established stricter limits on the smog-causing
pollution linked to asthma and

respiratory illness, drawing


swift condemnation from business leaders and Republicans
who warned of damage to the
economy.
The Environmental Protection Agency said the new standard of 70 parts per billion will
reduce exposure to dangerous
ozone pollution and prevent
thousands of asthma attacks
and emergency room visits and
hundreds of premature deaths
each year.
Environmental and health
groups argued that the rules
fall short. The new standard is
below the current standard of 75
parts per billion but at the high
end of a range announced by the
EPA last fall.
White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said Thursday the
new ozone rule fits into Obamas
strategy to cut pollution while
promoting economic growth.

AROUND THE STATE


MADISON

Legislators propose
raising cap to $1 million
A bipartisan group of state
lawmakers is moving to dramatically re-structure compensation
rules for people wrongly convicted in Wisconsin, introducing
a bill on Thursday that would
raise the maximum payout from
$25,000 to $1 million and seal exonerees court records.
Wisconsin currently offers
the wrongly convicted $5,000 for
every year of incarceration up
to $25,000. Under the bill, exonerees could collect $50,000 for
every year behind bars with the
total payout capped at $1 million
with adjustments for inflation
every five years.
They also could participate in
the states health insurance program for up to a decade at their
own expense and would get access to transitional services any
inmate coming out of prison receives, such as job training and
housing.
Keith Findley, director of the
Wisconsin Innocence Project,
which works to free the wrongly
convicted, said the bill is long

overdue. Wisconsins $5,000 peryear payout is the lowest among


the 30 states with laws providing
some form of wrongful conviction compensation, he said.

Woman sentenced for


Waupaca County crash

Appeals court judges


question abortion law

A 40-year-old woman accused


of driving drunk in a crash that
killed a teen in Waupaca County
has been sentenced to a year in
jail.
Heather Schmidt, of New
London, was also sentenced
Wednesday to 10 years of probation for the 2012 crash that killed
18-year-old Dylan Thorne. She
had pleaded no contest in August to a count of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle.
A criminal complaint says an
SUV driven by Schmidt crossed
the centerline and hit Thornes
vehicle head-on in the town of
St. Lawrence. The complaint
says a blood sample taken from
Schmidt after the crash showed
her blood alcohol content was
0.174 percent.
The last five weeks of

A federal appeals court panel heard arguments Thursday


over a Wisconsin law requiring
doctors who provide abortions
to have admitting privileges
at nearby hospitals, with the
presiding judge saying there
is not a rational basis for the
requirement.
Judge Richard Posner of the
7th U.S. Circuit said during oral
arguments in Chicago that the
law was designed to shut down
abortion clinics, The Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel reported.
Republican supporters of
the law passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature and signed
by Gov. Scott Walker say it was
designed to ensure doctors are
properly credentialed and women get the care they need. But
Democratic opponents and sup-

porters of abortion rights say


its goal was to limit access to
abortion.
A federal judge in Madison
blocked the law shortly after
it passed in 2013 and struck it
down as unconstitutional in
March. The state appealed, leading to Thursdays arguments.

Feingold raises $2.4M,


has $3.4M available
Russ Feingold, the Democrat
seeking to return to the U.S. Senate, has $3.4 million cash on hand
for his rematch against Republican incumbent Ron Johnson, his
campaign said Thursday.
Feingold released the fundraising figures for July through
September to The Associated
Press in advance of the Oct. 15
filing deadline. Johnsons campaign has yet to release his quarterly fundraising totals.
Johnson defeated Feingold
in 2010, ending his 18-year run
in the Senate. Democrats view
the rematch as critical to their
hopes of recapturing majority
control of the Senate.

AROUND THE WORLD


MOSCOW

Russia defends its


military action in Syria
As Russian warplanes carried out a second wave of airstrikes Thursday in Syria,
Moscow defended its military
involvement against Western
criticism of its intentions, saying it sees eye-to-eye with the
U.S.-led coalition campaign on
its targets in the country.
The claim of agreement with
Washington came amid conflicting reports about Russias intentions in Syria and whether it is
targeting only Islamic State and
al-Qaida-linked militants.
The U.S. and its allies fear
that Russia, which has backed
the family of President Bashar
Assad since the current leaders
father was in power, is using the

air campaign as a pretext to go


after anti-Assad rebels that include CIA-backed groups.
Russian jets appeared to be
primarily bombing central and
northwestern Syria, strategic
regions that are the gateway to
Assads strongholds in the capital of Damascus and the coast.

AFGHANISTAN

Afghan troops push


into city of Kunduz
Government troops seized
control of the strategic northern
city of Kunduz on Thursday, the
Afghan president announced,
following a six-hour battle that
saw the Taliban insurgents who
had held it for three days largely
melt away.
Despite the claim of victory,
residents hunkered down inside

their homes said they could still


hear explosions and shootings in
the provincial capital, whose fall
to the Taliban was a humbling defeat for President Ashraf Ghani.
Ghani, appearing at a televised news conference with his
defense and interior ministers,
said the city was retaken with no
fatalities among the government
security forces.

UNITED NATIONS

Netanyahu blasts Iran


nuclear deal at UN
In an impassioned speech interspersed with bouts of dramatic silence, Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday condemned the Iran nuclear
deal as empowering Tehran to
spread unrest in the Mideast
while leaving the country capa-

ble of making an atomic bomb.


Netanyahu described IsraeliU.S. bickering over the deal as
a disagreement within the family, and the United States also
downplayed any lasting effects
of the fallout over an agreement
that Washington praises and Israel condemns.
The Israeli leaders speech to
world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly was notable for his
rhetorical flourishes, including
47 seconds of silence about 15
minutes into his address.
Netanyahu insisted the nuclear agreement lets Iran support terrorism in the Mideast
and bolsters its plan to liquidate
the Jewish state. He said the
U.N. and most governments
have responded to Irans intent
to destroy Israel with deafening silence, and then stopped
speaking to emphasize his point.

Man suspected
of fleeing after
high-speed chase
By Leader Staff

A Birnamwood man
was charged with a felony count of fleeing an officer after a high-speed
chase in the town of Wittenberg on Wednesday.
James D. Pierzchalski, 25, could face 3
years in prison and a
$10,000 fine if convicted.
He was also cited for
first-offense operating
while intoxicated.
According to the
criminal
complaint,
sheriffs deputies spotted Pierzchalski car
traveling at a high rate
of speed on U.S. Highway 45 shortly before
midnight.
Pierzchalski
allegedly ignored attempts
to pull the vehicle
over, instead fleeing at
speeds that reached 125
mph, according to the
complaint.

The vehicle turned


onto Hemlock Road and
the chase continued
onto County Road OO,
crossing the center line
several times during the
pursuit, according to the
complaint.
Spike strips were deployed as the vehicle approached Fourth Street
in the village of Eland
and the car was finally
brought to a stop.
An
initial
breath
test showed Pierzchalski had a blood-alcohol count of 0.19 percent, according to the
complaint.
Pierzchalski was ordered held on a $1,000
cash bond after a hearing Thursday before

Judge James Habeck.
He is due back in court
for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 9.

Kerr to take
leave of absence
Golden State Warriors
coach Steve Kerr will
take a leave of absence
as he recovers from back
surgery and will be replaced on an interim basis by Luke Walton.
Kerr underwent back
surgery to repair a ruptured disc in late July
and had follow-up surgery in September. The
Warriors said they dont
know yet how long Kerr
will be out.
Kerr
originally
tweaked his back during
the NBA Finals last June.
He had planned to take a
back seat during training camp and said after
the first practice that he
had only been cleared to
walk around and yell at
people, talk to the press.

Once the Shawano


Community High School
girls volleyball team
settled in Thursday, it
cruised to a 3-0 sweep of
visiting Green Bay West.
The Hawks fell behind
early in the first game
4-7, but then outscored
the Wildcats 21-8 to finish out the 25-15 victory.
SCHS continued playing well, scoring 25-12
and 25-18 victories in the
second and third games,
respectively.
I think it took a little
bit to get in a groove,
SCHS head coach Jessica Cumberland said.
Once we got into the
groove, though, we were
fine.
Senior middle hitter
Erika Dunnam earned
several kills from the
back row to push the momentum in favor of the
Hawks.

Bears,
starting
four
games and grabbing one

were not quite prepared


for the strong attacks
from Dunnam, who tallied 16 kills on the night.
We started to lose
focus when there were
a few back-row attacks,
Green Bay West head
coach Heather Vande
Walle said. We werent
moving our feet as much
as we could have been.
When Dunnam finally
reached a familiar spot
at the net, sophomore
Brandi Gueths serves
but the pressure on the
visiting Wildcats, which
led to a three-point run
in the first game to give
SCHS the lead, and another three-point run in
the second for the Hawks
to gain control.
They never looked
back.
We play well when
we are working hard and
having fun and not letting
the frustrations get the
best of us, Cumberland
said. We were coming
together, having fun and
putting the ball away.
Beginning in the sec-

ond game and continuing for the third, Cumberland was also able
to show off some of the
depth on her bench.
Bayleigh Laabs, Meagan Ward and Brooke
Huntington all got valuable playing time.
I was excited to
put them in. It let me
see their strengths and
let me see them under
pressure in the work of
the game, Cumberland
said. And I was able to
put them in some spots
that they were not familiar with, so that was
good. It helped me build
confidence in them.
Despite the Hawks
(20-9, 3-1 Bay Conference) having complete
control in the third game,
Green Bay West pulled
within four points at four
different times and got
the game as close as 2118 before Shawano put
the game away by winning the next four points.
We still came back
and made some adjustments where we needed

to make adjustments,
Vande Walle said.
The
adjustments
were not enough for the
Wildcats (0-8, 0-4 Bay),
who were led by junior
Sarah Snyders five digs
and three assists.
For the Hawks, Miranda
Washinawatok
had eight kills and two
blocks. Senior setter An-

nelies Young had 23 assists, and fellow senior


Kate Senzig added two
aces.
They were just able
to play to their level of
ability tonight, and thats
what I wanted to see,
Cumberland said. They
didnt crawl into a hole
and back down. They
kept pushing forward.

Guion returns to Packers defensive line


3-week suspension is over
The Associated Press

The Green Bay Packers


defensive
line,
instrumental in helping contain Seattles
Marshawn Lynch and
Kansas Citys Jamaal
Charles the past two
games, is about to get
even stronger.
Letroy Guion, suspended for three games
for violating the NFLs
substance abuse policy,
returned to practice
Wednesday. He practiced again Thursday
and will be added to the
53-man roster in time for
Sundays game at San
Francisco.
Just
from
the
strength and conditioning standpoint, I think
hes in excellent shape,
coach Mike McCarthy
said before Thursdays

practice. Definitely in
shape the way he was
coming into camp. he
looks good.
Just how good will
determine if or how
much Guion plays
against a 49ers offense
that features big running
back Carlos Hyde and
athletic quarterback Colin Kaepernick. He was
arguably the Packers
best run-stopping defensive lineman last season,
when he replaced injured
B.J. Raji at nose tackle
and started all 16 games.
However, the situation
isnt as dire this season.
Raji is back after
missing 2014 with a torn
biceps tendon. DE Mike
Daniels is one of the
teams top defenders.
At the other end, Mike
Pennel looks like an upand-coming player. With

PACKERS NOTES
RB Eddie Lacy was full participation for a second consecutive day after being slowed by an ankle injury last week. It
definitely feels better, he said. Its a shorter week, but Im
still able to get a lot of rehab in and get it for this week. But
this weekend Ill be ready to go, just like last week.
Two other starters, S Morgan Burnett (calf) and WR Davante Adams (ankle), did not practice again.

those three leading the


charge, the Packers held
Lynch and Charles to a
combined 90 yards rushing after yielding 141 to
Chicagos Matt Forte in
Week 1. The defense had
seven tackles for losses
on running plays the last
two games after getting
zero at Chicago.
Weve been pretty
physical, Raji said. I
just think our IQ may be
a little up. I have to give
credit to the coaches for
that. And also our technique has improved a little bit drastically since
Ive been here. Thats allowed us to get off more

blocks. I dont think


theres ever been an issue of physicality. Its
been an issue of understanding and execution.
Now, Guion is back in
the mix. Among Green
Bays defensive linemen
last season, he ranked
second in tackles, sacks,
tackles for losses and
quarterback hits despite missing almost all
of training camp with
an injured hamstring.
Returning after a threeweek suspension offers
something of a parallel
should Guion get thrown
right back in the mix on
Sunday.

Hes a veteran, defensive line coach Mike


Trgovac said. Hes been
here working out. Unlike
last year, when he was
injured and then came
back, he hadnt had a lot
of practice reps. He had
training camp reps this
year and he was working
out here the three weeks
he was suspended, so
hes in really good shape
right now. Always with
football, you cant simulate football with anything. He worked hard in
practice this week to get
his timing back; youre
not going to be perfect
the first time youre out.
Guion returns to a
team thats 3-0 and firing
on all cylinders.
Very excited, Guion
said. Most of all, Im
excited to get back out
there with the fellas
and start to play some
football.

UW prepares to get physical


Iowa defense will test young running backs
The Associated Press

Wisconsin running backs coach John


Settle is giving his players a tutorial on Big
Ten play.
The backs for the 19th-ranked Badgers will need to make sure that they have
enough ice packs to use after Saturdays
conference opener against Iowa.
Be prepared to be sore on Sunday,
Settle said in recounting a recent conversation with his position group. Its going to
be a physical matchup.
A successful running game at Camp
Randall Stadium is about as common in
autumn as falling leaves. There is seemingly always an experienced holdover waiting to take over as the next backfield star.
This year, though, coach Paul Chryst
had to change the plan on the fly with Corey Clement out at least another month after sports hernia surgery. Clement hasnt
played since getting limited snaps in the
opener against Alabama.
That has left the running game in the
hands of junior and converted defensive
back Dare Ogunbowale, and redshirt freshman Taiwan Deal. The 5-foot-11 Ogunbowale is the shiftier of the two runners.
The 6-foot-1 Deal sports a 220-pound frame
that Settle thinks is ideal for the Big Ten.
They have complimentary styles,
though neither player has much experience in conference play.
Clement has been there to help Deal,
especially, to get acclimated.
He said it gets tougher, but at the end
of the day, as running backs, were going

to run the ball, Deal said. Stick with what


you know, run the ball, expect competition.
Ogunbowale moved to offense early in
the 2014 season. His most extensive action
in the Big Ten came when he rushed for 62
yards and a touchdown on 10 carries in a
59-24 rout of Nebraska on Nov. 15. Otherwise, Ogunbowale was the third stringer
last year behind Heisman Trophy runnerup Melvin Gordon and Clement.
Deal made his first career start last
week against Hawaii when the Badgers
were backed up on their own 3. Wisconsin
opened with Deal as the ball carrier, accompanied by two fullbacks and a tight end,
in committing to a power rushing attack.
Deal, who is still picking up the nuances
of playing the position, gave the Badgers
an early glimpse of his potential after running for 147 yards and two scores on 26 carries against the Rainbow Warriors.
The fact that he realizes hes 220
pounds and that hes not a little back, Settle said about how Deal has improved the
most over nonconference play. The thing
I like to see is him going forward with his
pads down, with his shoulders square.
The confidence that hes been building
over the last few weeks is going to help him
down the road, Settle added.
An improving Badgers offensive line is
helping too. Beset by injuries, the line features two redshirt freshmen at the guard
positions and a sophomore in his first year
as starter at right tackle.
The line is starting to get some familiarity and consistency in the running game,
just in time for the Big Ten.

Kennedy, Padres stop Brewers


Jungmann allows 3 runs in 3 innings
The Associated Press

If this was Ian Kennedys final start with the


San Diego Padres, it was a
good one.
Kennedy struck out 11
in six innings and Yangervis Solarte hit a two-run
homer for the Padres,
who beat Milwaukee 3-1
in their home finale on
Thursday.
Kennedy (9-15) is eligible to become a free
agent. He was stellar, allowing only one run and
five hits in six innings,
with no walks. His only
mistake was allowing a
leadoff homer in the sixth

to pinch-hitter Shane
Peterson.
San Diego, fourth in
the NL West, avoided being swept by Milwaukee,
which is fourth in the NL
Central.
Solarte homered to
right off Taylor Jungmann
(9-8) in the third, his 14th.
Cory Spangenberg was
aboard on a leadoff walk.
Jungmann
allowed
three runs and four hits in
three innings, walked four
and struck out two.
It was definitely a
struggle today for Taylor,
manager
Craig
Counsell said. There
wasnt anything easy for

him today. He couldnt


get any easy outs. He
pitched well after the
home run to those next
three guys. But it was a
struggle overall.
Milwaukees Michael
Reed was thrown out by
rookie right fielder Travis
Jankowski trying to score
from second on Hernan
Perezs single to end the
third.

Harvest time reminder to heed ag vehicle lighting, marking rules


As harvest season
ramps up, there is no
better time than now to
familiarize ourselves with
the current implements
of husbandry regulations.
An overview of IoH
legislation pertaining
to agricultural vehicle
lighting and marking is
included below. However,
it is important to note
that IoH legislation also
changed a rule pertaining
to all motorists. Act 377
(2014) repealed the ability
for any motorist to pass
an IoH or agricultural
commercial motor vehicle
in a no-passing zone.
Due to space limitations, the basics of
current IoH regulations
are summarized below.
However, a more extensive review of all IoH and
AgCMV regulations can
be found at the Wisconsin
Department of Trans-

than 4 feet wide to the
left side of the hitch must
have an amber reflector
at the widest point on the
left side, facing forward.
Three-vehicle train:
one red light or one red
or amber reflector must
be located on each side of
every vehicle in the train;
lights and/or reflectors

minimal distance of 500
feet.

the width of the vehicle
visible for 500 feet and
mounted to indicate
extreme width of the

New lighting and
marking regulations for
IoH vehicles greater than

15 feet wide operating


on public roads will take
effect Nov. 1. New wide
IoH requirements require
lights to be activated at
all times vehicle(s) are
operated on the highway.
By definition, a wide IoH
is any IoH exceeding 15
feet in total width or that
extends over the center
of the roadway into a lane
intended for the opposite
direction of travel. Width
is determined by the widest measurement of the
equipment in a highway
transport configuration.
Currently, a slowmoving vehicle emblem
is required on any type
of IoH, including animaldrawn, that typically travels at less than 25 mph.
SMV emblems are to be
displayed at all times on
the most visible rear area
of the vehicle or combination of vehicles. If a

SMV emblem on a power


unit is visible from rear
and in compliance, then
the towed units are not
required to have an SMV
emblem. Two- or threevehicle combinations are
allowed to have more
than one SMV emblem.
It is important to note
this is just a summary
of the current lighting
and marking regulations.
Please visit the DOT website for comprehensive information regarding IoH
and AgCMV regulations.

OVERBOARD

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our late


50s and have been married for 26 years. I have
had the privilege of not
needing to hold an outside
job since I married, allowing me to be a stay-athome mom and raise our
kids, who are now grown
and out of the house.
My husband and I have
always been careful with
our money, eating out
perhaps once a month.
We are easily entertained
at home. His parents, who
have now passed on, lived
like paupers. However,
upon their passing, they
were able to distribute a
lot of their wealth to their
two sons and five grandkids. The money allowed
us to pay off our mortgage
and buy some stocks.
My parents, on the
other hand, have blown
through retirement payouts and the reverse
mortgage they took out
on their home. My mom
has always demanded the
best, whether it is fine linens or a pair of jeans. It is
beneath her to shop at a
discount store. I now face
their failing health and
am angry about their poor
financial planning. Whatever extra money my
husband and I have came
from his parents estate,
and I agree with him that
this money should not be
spent on my parents.
Am I a bad daughter
not to help them financially? They dug their own
hole. My dad wont even
file the paperwork for
being a veteran. Having
them live with us when
their money runs out is
not an option. My mother
has tried to make me feel
guilty saying, Well, I got
a job to provide for MY
mother. Her other saying is The Lord will provide. I think the Lord will
provide a state-run nursing home. What do you
say? Not My Parents
Savior
Dear Not: You do not
have to use your in-laws
money to provide for
your profligate parents.
Nonetheless, that doesnt
mean you should abandon them altogether. If
Dad needs help (or encouragement) to fill out
forms, surely you can do
that for him. You might
also offer financial advice,
helping them take steps
to put away any remaining income. But you are
fortunate that there are
facilities that will accept
and care for your parents
when they are infirm and
run out of money, and you
can visit often.
Dear Annie: I have a
friend who, after using
her dinner knife to cut
salad or other items with
dressing, sauce, gravy,
etc., wipes the knife with
her mouth. I have seen
her do this in fine restaurants and I cringe every
time.
How can I tell her how
crude this is without offending her? Anonymous, Please
Dear
Anonymous:
Correcting
another
adults manners is problematic. Being able to do
so without offense depends upon your friends
sense of humor and willingness to accept criticism. You can say, Judy,
arent you afraid you
will cut your tongue doing that? Please stop, for
my sake. I cringe every
time for fear there will be
blood. But if you dont
think she will be amenable, we recommend you
grit your teeth and ignore
it as best you can.

thing. 2 stars

investigate.
Mellis wrote that he
does not want health
board members prosecuted or subjected to fines
of up to $300 each, as allowed under the law.
We ask that you look
into this matter and provide an appropriate remedy, he wrote. We are
not seeking prosecution
or punishment, but rather
education of the health
board regarding its responsibility to the public.
District
Attorney
Gregory Parker was out
of the office Thursday and
could not be reached for
comment.
Health board chairman Jon Zwirschitz, who
previously said the meetings were closed to protect the confidentiality
of tuberculosis patients,
said Thursday that the
meetings were legal, in
his opinion, although he
declined to elaborate.
Theres nothing we
violated, he told a reporter. Dont bother me
any more.
The Leader has never
asked county officials to
identify either tuberculosis patient, but only to
explain how the county is
handling the situation and
working to prevent the
disease from spreading.
Beth Bennett, executive director of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association, said the open
meetings law requires
government bodies to
conduct business in the
open, and there is no exception for discussions
about how government
employees are managing
a public health problem.
The law does allow
closed meetings to protect an individuals private health information,
but that does not mean
officials can exclude the

public from all related deliberations, Bennett said.


Especially when the general public has an interest
in how a communicable
disease outbreak is being
controlled, she added, the
government should not
conduct itself in secrecy.
To have no public discussion whatsoever is not
acceptable, she said.
The head of the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council similarly
said last month that the
health boards closed
meetings were inappropriate under the law.
Mellis said officials
at The Shawano Leader
gave careful consider-

ation to the matter before


deciding to get the district attorney involved.
We do not take this
action lightly, he said.
But our mission as a
newspaper goes beyond
just reporting the news.
We also are the readers
advocate for open government and the publics
right-to-know.
The Shawano-Menominee Counties Health Department has disclosed
that one case of tuberculosis was confirmed
in April and another in
August. The two cases,
which are believed to be
unrelated to each other,
are the first confirmed in-

cidents of tuberculosis in
the county since 2006.
Health officials also
have reported an unspecified number of additional
patients with latent tuberculosis
infections,
which means those people have tested positive
but not actually developed the disease.
Tuberculosis,
also
known as TB, is a bacterial disease that commonly attacks the lungs
and can be spread by an
infected person coughing or sneezing around
others. Officials have
said both patients in Shawano County both described as men in their
50s have agreed to remain in isolation during
their treatment to avoid
spreading the disease,
which can be fatal if not
treated properly.
The county health
board, a seven-member

panel responsible for


overseeing the health
department, met behind
closed doors on Aug. 17
and Sept. 21, both times
indicating on agendas
that the closed sessions
were for discussion of
communicable
disease investigation and
control.
For both meetings,
the board cited a provision of the open meetings law that authorizes
closed-door discussions
regarding the purchasing of public properties,
the investing of public
funds,
or
conducting
other specified public
business, whenever competitive or bargaining
reasons require a closed
session. That part of the
law makes no mention of
communicable diseases.

County
Corporation
Counsel Tony Kordus,
who declined to comment
Thursday about the Leaders complaint, previously defended the health
boards closed meetings.
In a Sept. 22 email to the
newspaper, Kordus wrote
that the closed meetings
were authorized by the
provision cited, as well as
others in the open meetings law and elsewhere.
Kordus noted that
the health board did not
consult his office before
holding the closed meetings. He added: What is
important is that the public had notice of what was
being discussed in closed
session, and the item discussed in fact falls within
one of the sections allowing for a closed session.
