Is Valhalla the end for Woods?

PGA ChampionshipAnniversaries

Here is a look at some of the anniver-saries of the PGA Championship, the nal major of the season, to be played at Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Ky.:

75 years ago (1939): Henry Picard won his second major championship by rallying to beat Byron Nelson at Pomonock Country Club in New York. Picard led most of the day until Nelson tied the match on the 29th hole and took his rst lead with a birdie on the 32nd hole. Picard saved his chances by making a 25-footer on the 34th hole to avoid going 2 down, and then he made a 4-foot birdie putt on the last hole in regulation to square the match. On the rst extra hole, Nelson again had the advantage with a shot into 5 feet, while Picard drove under a movie truck. Picard got free relief, hit his approach to 12 feet and made the putt. Nelson missed his putt.50 years ago (1964): Bobby Nich-olas, a 28-year-old from Kentucky, set the PGA Championship record with a 64 in the opening round at Columbus Country Club. And the records kept right on falling. Nichols went on to a wire-to-wire victory. His 271 set a PGA Championship record that stood for 30 years, until Nick Price had a 269 at Southern Hills in 1994. And it gave Nichols a 3-shot victory over Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Nichols had a 1-shot lead over Palmer going into the nal round and closed with a 67. Palmer never won a PGA Cham-pionship, the major that kept him from the career Grand Slam.25 years ago (1989): Payne Stew-art won his rst major championship at Kemper Lakes, outside Chicago, and he needed plenty of help. Dressed in Chicago Bears colors because of his NFL apparel deal, Stewart closed with a 67 and posted a 276. Still, this PGA Championship belonged to Mike Reid, known as ‘Radar’ because of his ac-curacy off the tee. Stewart was in the clubhouse and Reid was in command. But it all fell apart for Reid. He hit into the water and had to scramble for bogey on the 16th. He ubbed a chip and three-putted for double bogey on the 17th to fall 1 shot behind. And he missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th that would have forced a playoff. As tears welled in his eyes, Reid looked reporters and said: “It’s only a game, right?”20 years ago (1994): Nick Price stamped his dominance in the game by winning his second straight major — and third out of the last night — and this time there was no doubt. Price needed a late blunder by Jesper Parnevik to win the British Open a month earlier. At Southern Hills, for the PGA Championship, he opened with a 67 to share the lead with Colin Montgomerie, pulled away with a 65 in the second round and wound up with a 6-shot victory over Corey Pavin. Price rose to No. 1 in the world with the victory. And his 269 set a PGA Championship scoring record that would be broken the following year at Riviera.10 years ago (2004): The only thing missing from Vijay Singh’s greatest season was a major, and he had to work harder than he imagined for this one. The PGA Championship went to Whistling Straits for the rst time, a Pete Dye creation along the shores of Lake Michigan. It delivered great theater. Justin Leonard built a 2-shot lead with 5 holes to play, but his bogey on the 18th dropped him into a three-way playoff with Singh and Chris DiMarco. The only birdie Singh made on Sunday came on the rst of 3 playoff holes. It was enough to carry him to a victory, as Leonard and DiMarco could not make up ground. Singh’s 76 remains the high-est nal round by a PGA champion. Singh nished the hear with 9 PGA Tour wins and became the rst player to earn $10 million in one year.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

Rory McIlroy barely had time to catch his breath, much less celebrate his victory in the

British Open.Just 18 days after McIlroy won

that coveted claret jug, the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland tees it up in the nal major of the year at the PGA Championship with a chance to become only the sixth player to win the nal two majors of the year. He apparently wasn’t satis ed with just one major this year.

“A lot of the goals that I set for myself at the start of the year I’ve achieved already,” McIlroy said. “So that’s when you have to reassess

and say, ‘OK, you've boxed that off. Celebrate it for a couple of days.’ But then you’ve got to move on.

“You’ve got to keep moving forward and keep thinking about what you want to achieve from now until the end of the year. And then at the end of the year, you can really re ect on everything you’ve done and enjoy it.”

As much as McIlroy feels like the year is just getting started, it could be ending for Tiger Woods.

Woods already lost three months to back surgery. The British Open was his rst major of the year, and it showed when he nished 23 shots behind. Barring a quick turnaround, he could miss out on the FedEx Cup playoffs. His season will be over.

In his favor is the venue — Valhalla Golf Club.

The Jack Nicklaus design in Louisville, Ky., has staged three big events, all of them providing great theater. None was more memorable than the 2000 PGA Championship, when Woods survived a shootout on the back nine with Bob May and beat him in a playoff for his third straight major.

May was the consummate journey-man who never won a PGA Tour event, and yet he took on Woods at the absolute peak of his game and nearly beat him. That’s what makes the nal major of the year perhaps the most dif cult to win.

It’s not the golf course that makes it dif cult, it’s the competition.

Even when Dustin Johnson with-drew to take a leave of absence from golf, the PGA Championship still had 99 of the top 100 players in the world ranking. Everyone in the eld, except for the 20 club professionals, believes he has a realistic chance of winning.

That explains why Woods and Vijay Singh are the only multiple winners of the PGA Championship over the last 15 years.

And why no other major has pro-

duced more champions (four) outside the world top 100 since the ranking began in 1986. It explains why Ernie Els described the strength of the eld as a “PGA Tour event on steroids.”

Making it even more dif cult is that scoring typically is easier at this ma-jor. In the heat of summer, conditions tend to be softer. Bring together the best players in the world, and they take dead aim.

“When I get on the rst tee at the PGA, I’m not as nervous as when I get on the rst tee at the Masters, or the U.S. Open or The Open Champi-onship,” Els said.

“I think with the golf course in mind, mentally you know you can score. You can go on scoring runs. And with the players that strong in the eld, you know you have to go low.”

BY DOUG FERGUSONAP GOLF WRITER

This is an uphill par 3 that is guarded by

two bunkers in the front that stretch

around to the left, and another that

guards the back. Anything

long will tumble down a hill and

make par a difficult chore.

The shortest hole is guarded by a deep

bunker in front of the green and a

slippery collection area behind it.

Another bunker is to the left,

with Floyds Fork beyond it, and the green has multiple tiers to make every

hole location require precision off the tee.

A deep bunker protects the left side and a smaller bunker is on the right. Big hitters might want to challenge the left bunker to leave a flip wedge to the green. Anything over the back could dribble into Floyds Fork.

A good drive should set up a

birdie opportunity, although the approach

is into the prevailing wind. A dogleg that

bends sharply to the left with gorse

bushes to the left and fairway bunkers on the

right side, along with a bunker on the inside of the dogleg. The green

is heavily contoured and protected by a new

bunker to the right.

The lowering of the tee makes for a long, uphill tee shot with bunkers squeezing both sides of the fairway. The hole is 50 yards longer than it was for the 2000 PGA Championship. A collection area and two staggered bunkers guard the green.

The signature hole at Valhalla is the

shortest par 4 and might be the most

exciting. The landing area with an iron is

surrounded by six bunkers to

the left. The green is built up nearly 20 feet on large boulders and

surrounded by water. With tees slightly forward,

some might be tempted to reach the green with a

long, flawless tee shot.

Par 3 Yards 217

Par 4 Yards 472

This can be reached in two, but it requires a well-shaped tee shot on this double dogleg. A right-to-left shot is ideal off the tee, provided it avoids a fairway bunker on the right and rough on the left. A left-to-right shot is needed to reach the green, which is protected by a deep bunker and has two tiers.

Par 5 Yards 590

Par 3 Yards 174

The longest par 3 features a two-tiered green with a large bunker guarding the front. There are two large bunkers behind the green, one for the lower tier and one for the upper tier, and either will be a tough spot from which to save par.

The creek again guards the right

side of the fairway on this slight dogleg

to the right, with a tree-covered slope

and deep rough on the left. The 17th tee behind

the green has been lowered, allowing

for a large amphitheater. Two bunkers have been added

around the green.

A relatively benign opening hole that bends to the left, though players should be careful not to hit too close to the left side of the fairway and have trees affecting the second shot. Two bunkers have been added since 2000, one on the front right and one toward the back left.

Brush Run Creek runs down the entire right side of the hole, and the landing zone is framed by a small bunker to the left and a larger bunker to the right. The creek also is in play around the green, which has a bunker to the left.

Valhalla Golf ClubLouisville, Kentucky

7,458 yards • Par 35-36 – 71

Players will have the option of going left or right on a hole that offers a split fairway. Going to the left will shorten the hole by 50 yards, but the landing area is only 26 yards wide andis surrounded by rough and a water hazard. The safer route is right, although the fairway is tight and lined by bunkers.

The PGA Championship returns to Valhalla Golf Club, the first time it’s been played

there since Tiger Woods’ epic three-hole playoff win in 2000. The $10 million

purse for the 2014 tournament pushes the season’s final major ahead of the other

three championships.

Slight dogleg to the left, with a finger of Floyds Fork bordering the left side of the fairway and a bunker squeezing the right side. The slopes in the green have been softened to accommodate long irons, but the green is relatively small. Two bunkers guard the left side, and anything too wild might find the creek. A new bunker has been added to the right.

Floyds Fork winds between the tee and the green,

then sweeps around to the

right of the green. The

green is protected by a

large bunker to the left and a

smaller bunker to the right. A small portion

has been added to the back right for possible hole locations, which likely will be the toughest.

The green has been moved back 80 yards since 2000. The hole

is divided by Floyds Fork, and

the first challenge

is to find the fairway. The

second shot will be a long iron to a green guarded by a bunker on

the left side and a collection area on

the right.

Three bunkers border the

right side of the fairway

and two bunkers are on the left. The

difficulty of this hole is the uphill approach

toward the clubhouse. One of the largest

and deepest bunkers on the course is just

right of the green.

The tee shot

must be long and

straight before the hole drops off

toward a green that is elevated. The green has one of the

deepest bunkers on the course to

the right and thick bluegrass rough

to the left.

The second straight major

ends with a par 5. A large bunker

protects the left side of the fairway, with a pond down the right side. A decent shot

will allow most players to go for

the green. The second shot needs

to come in high to an elevated green with a bunker guarding the

entire front portion. The green has severe sloping that runs from the

upper portion to the lower left and right levels.

CRBL/DeGrasse has

two RBIs for Eau Claire

group of guys is really satisfying for us older guys,” Pecha said.

The Bears got a quick run in the first inning as Tom Mewhorter sin-gled to drive in Mitch DeGrasse.

Osseo tied it in the second on a Joe Zawacki double, but defensive lapses in the third led to three Eau Claire runs to make it 4-1.

The Merchants would claw back to make it 4-3, but Eau Claire never relinquished the lead and pulled away late as DeGrasse lifted a two-run home run over the left-field wall in the ninth.

DeGrasse finished 2-for-3 with three runs, two RBIs and two stolen bases. Mewhorter was 1-for-4 with a pair of sac flies and three RBIs.

Nathan Kent also went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI.

“Even when it got to be 4-3, it didn’t seem like we panicked or started to force anything,” Pecha said. “We just played ball like we have all year.”

Staying calm has been the theme for Eau Claire as it finished the first half of the season with a 5-6 record. It hasn’t lost a league game since.

“You see it happen all the time in sports where a team in the second half of the year gets into a groove and they’re able to keep that running,” Pecha said. “I knew that this group was talented enough to have more suc-cess than we were hav-ing. I just knew that if we could put it together that we were as good as any team in the CRBL.”

Second baseman Sam Waters went 3-for-5, third baseman/catcher Josh Anderson went 2-for-4 and shortstop Jesse Brockman was 1-for-2 with a triple, run and an RBI to lead the

Merchants at the plate.Starting pitcher Logan

Boettcher was solid through 6q innings despite surrendering six walks. The southpaw allowed just two earned runs and struck out seven.

It was the first champi-onship game appearance for Osseo, which finished with the best record in franchise history at 17-5.

“If the wild card format stays where two South Division teams can con-tend for the title, I don’t think that this is going to be the last time we see those guys,” Pecha said of the Merchants. “They’re a classy group and an excellent ball team, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see them take this team far into the WBA playoffs.”

The Bears had an unprecedented streak of playing in the champion-ship game every season from 2004-2010.

With a young and tal-ented core returning, could a similar streak be on the horizon?

“We’ll just try to enjoy this one, but we can’t help but think that if we keep a group together that we’re going to be competitive for a while to come here,” Pecha said.

Gordon shows he’s still got it

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Jeff Gordon turned a nostalgic weekend at the Brickyard into a powerful reminder that he can still win NASCAR’s biggest races.

Oh, and a fifth championship.

But for all the proof that Gordon is still a driver to contend with in a cham-pionship push, he realizes he’s not in the same physi-cal condition when he won his first Brickyard in 1994. Gordon turns 43 on Monday with an achy back that he feels when settling behind the wheel of the No. 24 Chevrolet.

“It’s not great, that’s for sure,” Gordon said.

Gordon hasn’t been the same since he felt consis-tent, shooting back pain before the Coca-Cola 600 in May. He cut short his practice sessions, had treatments and needed a standby driver.

Gordon had serious issues years ago in his lower spine and returned to full strength thanks to anti-inflammatory medi-cation and workouts with a trainer. He drove in pain during a winless 2008 sea-son and briefly contem-plated retirement.

For all his back woes, Gordon said he never felt the stabbing pain like he did at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

“I don’t think my back is ever going to be the same after what happened at Charlotte,” Gordon said. “I don’t know what exactly transpired there, but it’s not the same. And I have to be much more careful. I’m just having to treat it more with ice and (stimulation) and be more careful and do more stretching. Is it going to flare-up again? It could. But I’m just trying to be more cautious with the things that I do that I feel like contribute to that.”

Gordon never showed any signs of discomfort last weekend at Indy, pull-ing away from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne on the final restart to win for the sec-ond time this season. Gor-don holds the points lead heading into today’s race at Pocono Raceway, where he’s a six-time winner.

Gordon and Kahne staged a similar battle in last August’s race at Pocono. Unlike last week at Indy, Kahne won the restart and the race. Cruising from the outside, Kahne got the jump he needed, zipped past Gor-don and pulled away with two laps left for the win.

Kahne is winless this season and badly needs one if he wants to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. Kahne led 70 laps and had the car to beat at Indy until his late fade ended with a sixth-place finish and his car out of fuel.

“It was the first time of the season we have put a full race together,” Kahne said. “From me driving

to them on pit road to pit calls, everything about it was right. That is something that we haven’t done this year. We haven’t even come close to doing that.”

He could be in the mix today — along with Gordon, and Hendrick drivers Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. The drivers have won the last four races at the track.

Here are a few things to know about Pocono Raceway:

Sweep city Dale Earnhardt Jr. is

trying to become the first driver to sweep Pocono since Denny Hamlin in 2006. Earnhardt will attempt to capture the second season sweep of his career and first since Talladega in 2002.

Pocono anniversary Richard Petty won the

first NASCAR race held on the tri-oval track — the Purolator 500 — on Aug. 4, 1974. The sec-ond race of each season was added to the sched-ule in 1982. There have been 73 NASCAR Cup races at Pocono. Enter-ing this weekend, 322 drivers have competed in at least one NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway; 222 in more than one. Jeff Gor-don leads all drivers with six wins and 32 different drivers have captured the checkered flag.

Johnson slump With six Sprint Cup

championships, Jimmie Johnson’s definition of a slump is always a bit skewed compared to the rest of the field. Johnson is in a minor one headed into Pocono. He had consecu-tive 42nd-place finishes at Daytona and New Hamp-shire because of wrecks and only finished 14th last week at Indianapo-lis Motor Speedway, tra-ditionally one of his best tracks. Johnson finished sixth in the first Pocono race, the only time he didn’t win in a four-race span (Charlotte, Dover and Michigan).

Brickyard winner may be aging, but he’s a serious title contender

Menard Update

Eau Claire native Paul Menard will start today’s race at Pocono 29th. Menard has an average finish of 20.5 in 15 career Sprint Cup starts at the track. He’ll pilot chassis No. 463 today. That car previously was used at Darlington and the first Pocono race, with finishes of 41st and 26th. Menard comes into today’s race 16th in the season points standings.

“It feels like we just left Pocono and now we’re talking about going back, so it’s definitely spaced very close together,” Menard said in a release. “The rumble strips are really a non-issue. They wanted it to be an issue, but it’s not a problem since we don’t run down there anyways. We definitely learned some things last time that we will apply this time.”

SPRINT CUP UP NEXT: POCONO RACEWAY, NOON TODAY. TV: ESPN.

Associated Press

Jeff Gordon climbs into his car for a Sprint Cup practice session Saturday at Pocono Raceway,in Long Pond, Pa.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Montee Ball acknowledges he was “a little bit” intimidated by Peyton Manning last year, something he says contributed to his slow start.

Trying to please the famously meticu-lous quarterback is enough to unnerve any rookie, even one who ran for an NCAA-record 83 touchdowns at Wisconsin.

“He did a great job of calming me down, though, keeping me comfortable, working with me after practice,” Ball said. “But I’m still a little nervous, of course. I’m only human.”

A jittery Ball failed to win the starting job last year after he whiffed on Seattle middle line-backer Bobby Wagner in the preseason and Man-ning got squished. Then, after fumbling just twice in 924 carries in college, he matched that total in his first 31 runs in the NFL.

Again, butterflies. “I was nervous, try-

ing to do too much,” Ball said.

That Ball was a bun-dle of nerves around Manning came as some-what of a surprise to offensive coordinator Adam Gase.

“You don’t usually hear anybody saying anything when they’re going through it. Now that we’re a year removed, I’m sure he’s kind reflects back and says, man, I felt like this. But if he was like that, he hid it pretty good,” Gase said Friday. “I just kind of looked at it like he was a rookie and there were a lot of things

going on and he just locked up a little bit.

“And I watch him now and I feel like

he can just play football now.”

Ball finally settled down and by December he had a tight grip on both the football and his role in Denver’s record-breaking offense. He finished his rookie year with 559 yards rushing and four TDs.

“The first half I was a little shaky in there,” Ball said. “I’m man enough to admit that I was making terrible mistakes early on. But it finally came along. Like they say, better late than never. And I took off from there.”

When Knowshon Moreno took his 1,586 all-purpose yards, 14 touch-downs and balky knees to South Beach this off-season, Ball assumed the featured role in the Broncos’ backfield.

Money, health and Ball’s emergence all played a role in let-ting Moreno leave even though none of the Broncos’ remaining run-ning backs had started an NFL game.

Running backs coach Eric Studesville shrugged off the notion that head-ing into a Super Bowl-or-else season without any starting experience in the backfield is risky business.

“Oh, the whole start-ing thing is hard for me, because really the guys that start the game are either on kickoff or kickoff return, you know?” Studesville said. “That’s kind of inconsequential to me.”

A couple of winterbeers now on theshelves show that youdon’t always needspices, herbs, fruit orcrazy alcohol contentsto celebrate the sea-son.

Weyerbacher WinterAle, with an invitinglabel showing a snow-man hoisting a mug, iswhat I think of as a“winter warmer.” Itsalcohol content is notmuch more than a typ-ical American mass-produced beer, allow-ing for a mild sessionbeer that highlightschocolate malt.

The aroma of freshgrain and chocolatenudge your nostrilsupon the pour. It’s anice brown color in theglass with a tan medi-um head.

Chocolate made upthe core of the flavorprofile, with a kiss ofroast and bitterness tooffset the slight sweet-ness and provide somepizzazz. There were nocoffee notes, whichwas a nice change af-ter a number of stoutsI’ve tried the past fewweeks. As the beerwarmed up, more cara-mel malt notes cameforward, and it fin-ished clean and slight-ly dry.

I would drink thisale all year; alas, it isonly expected to be

around through Febru-ary. Weyerbacher isavailable in 18 states,mostly east of the Mis-sissippi River, and adistributor list is atweyerbacher.com.

For those who wanta bit more bite in theirbeer, Goose Island’sSixth Day providedintense coffee bitter-ness in its winter ale. Italso had excellentchocolate flavor, plusmore caramel thanWeyerbacher’s. Theseflavors and any sweet-ness were quickly off-set by the bitterness,with a slight piney hopfinish.

Sixth Day is notice-ably stronger than theWeyerbacher, with an8.3-percent ABV. Thetwo ales made a goodback-to-back pairing,though I recommendstarting out with themilder Weyerbacheroffering first.

Goose Island haswide national distribu-tion; its online BeerFinder link is at goo-seisland.com.

There is certainly nolack of winter seasonaland Christmas-themedbeers currently instores — I had no prob-lem buying myself afew holiday treatswhile shopping forgifts. May all you read-ers have a merryChristmas and a hoppynew beer!

This year, Hollywoodreminded us of one longKanyeWest rant —somewhat intelligible yetcomplete nonsense; in-triguing but annoying;and something you want-ed to ignore but justcould not look away.

How else to describethe feeling we had afterwatchingWest and KimKardashian simulate theconception of theirdaughter North Westwith the video “Bound2?” Or hearing aboutanother profane AlecBaldwin meltdown? Orwatching Lady Gaga andR. Kelly grinding upagainst each other on“Saturday Night Live?”Miley twerking withlittle people? Or diges-

ting the news that SimonCowell will be someone’sfather?

It was bewildering,off-putting, jarring — yetentertaining at the sametime. As bad as celebrityantics were this year,they remained our guiltypleasure. We’ll neveradmit it, but these are themoments that had usriveted in 2013.

Isn’t the cover of UsWeekly enough?

KanyeWest had manyrighteous things to rageabout this year, from thefashion industry notgiving him credit forbrilliant, life-changingdesigns like leather jog-ging pants, to not gettingrespect from PresidentObama. But nothingseemed to upset him

By Jennifer CesarzCORRESPONDENT In its first game of the sea-son, the Delavan-Darien High School girls soccer team picked up a 2-1 non-conference win over Big Foot on Saturday. The Comets relied on goalie Macie Hill, who had 10 saves

and the duo of senior Bridget Cahill and junior Emily Zugay to help lift them to the win. Just over six minutes into the game, Zugay scored on the assist by Cahill and then the two connected late in the game, but this time Cahill scored on the assist from Zugay, giving

the Comets the 2-1 win. The lone Chiefs goal was scored by Morgan Courier late in the first half. The Comets won’t have an-other game until Monday when they travel to Milton for their second non-conference game of the season.

Coach hopes soccer team has shot at conference title

By Jennifer CesarzCORRESPONDENT The 2014 Delavan-Darien High School girls soccer season kicked off Saturday, and head coach Bruce Mowery has a talented group of players whom he hopes will make a run at the Southern Lakes Conference title. Returning to the lineup is senior Ally Doerr, the Comets leading scorer last year. Doerr was named to the SLC All-Conference First Team. Also returning to the Comets is Ellen Schutt, who was named to the SLC All-Conference Honorable Mention Team for defense. Other seniors that Mowery will look to this year include midfielders Bridget Cahill, Kylie Collins, Irma Garcia and Avery Hembrook. Macie Hill, the Comet’s goalie, is returning as a junior this year and is joined by juniors Emily Zugay, a defender and Amanda Huerta who plays midfield. Mowery hopes that three sophomores will contribute this year to his midfield.

They include Claudia Nieuwenhuis, Alysha Dutton and Luisamaria Torres. The Comets finished third in the conference last year, finishing 6-3 and 10-6-1 overall, and Mowery hopes to improve on that record this year, but knows the conference is a tough one. “Every year the level of competition in the SLC gets better,” Mowery said. “I do not see what I would call any real weak teams in the conference.” Mowery feels that Burlington, who won the conference last year, will make a run for the title again and could see competition from Lake Geneva Badger, Elkhorn, Westosha Central and Union Grove. Weather, spring break and injuries are three issues Mowery says the Comets deal with every spring and he hopes that now that spring break is over his team will be at 100 percent and that the weather will cooperate so they can get out of the gym and on the playing field. A complete schedule can be found at www.southernlakesconference.org.

Track team begins season indoorsBy Jennifer CesarzCORRESPONDENT The weather might not be cooperating, but the Dela-van-Darien High School track and field team was able to get its first meet in – an indoor event at the University of Wiscon-sin-Whitewater on March 21. The top finisher for the Comets was senior Kane Cas-

tel, who took fifth place in the 3,200 meters. Junior Alex Wojciechows-ki finished in seventh place for the Comets in the 55-meter dash, crossing the line in 6.95, earning the Comets’ only scored points of the meet, as the 3,200-meter run Castel ran in does not earn team points. “We gained some valuable

experience and are eager for weather to allow us to get out-side,” first-year D-DHS track coach Jeff Tortomasi. The Comets will be in action again April 11 when they travel to Marshall High School for an invite. For a complete schedule of the season, visit www.south-ernlakesconference.org.

Junior volleyball player commits to UNI Delavan-Darien High School varsity volleyball coach Jean Jacobs knows that junior Katie Jones is a talented vol-leyball athlete. The volleyball coaches at University of North-ern Iowa knew it, too. Jones, a six-footer, was re-cruited and committed to UNI. A starter since her freshman year, Jones has had many acco-

lades while playing on varsity the past three seasons. As a freshman, coach Jacobs saw her potential and relied on Jones to help with the Comets’ defense. Jones’ court sense and ath-letic ability can be partly at-tributed to the years of club vol-leyball, as well as her passion for the game. She plays for the

Wisconsin Juniors Volleyball Club on the 17-1 team. In 2011, Jones made a huge impact on the court with her 96.3 percent serving accuracy, as well as her passing game. In 2012, Jones continued her dominance with 13 aces, 31 kills, 11 blocks and 43 digs in the Southern Lakes Conference matches. She was an all-con-

ference Honorable Mention her sophomore year. As a junior in 2013, Jones continued her growth in in height and volleyball maturity. At 6 feet tall, she has produced 54 aces, 156 kills, 65 blocks and 213 digs. She improved her conference standings and was a

Second Team All-Conference selection this past season. Jacobs expects big things from Jones as a senior in the fall. “She has improved so much over the course of her three years at Delavan-Darien as a starter,” Jacobs said. “I very

rarely have to tell her what to do on the court because we are often on the same page. She is a vocal leader, but also leads by example. She is very much re-spected by her peers. “I have always stated jok-ingly that she plays volleyball 366 days a year.”

tional Deaf Interscholastic Athletic Association. Eby led the girls team to win the Central States Schools for the Deaf conference in-cluding winning eight out of the last 10 games to finish the season with a record of 11-8 – its most winning record since the 1984-85 season. “I am extremely humbled and honored to be named

NDIAA Division II Girls Basketball Coach of the Year in my first year as girls coach,” Eby said. “I am so thankful to WSD girls bas-ketball team, athletics depart-ment for the opportunity to represent Wisconsin School for the Deaf. I also want to thank the young women and my coaching staff who made this all happen.”

On the home farm after corn harvest we turned to making wood. We had three woodstoves to keep fed during the long win-ter, two in the house and one in the pump house, and they were always hungry.

On a Saturday morn-ing, with the morning barn chores finished, Pa and I “shouldered our axes.” He also carried the crosscut saw as we headed out to the woods in back of the house where, while squirrel hunting earlier that fall, we had spotted several dead oaks — good candi-dates for the ax and saw.

We crunched through fallen leaves on our way to the first candidate for cutting, a dead oak with a trunk 3 feet across and 30 feet tall and dead limbs sticking out every which way. Pa walked around the tree once, determining its natural lean — the direction it would most likely fall.

Pa put down the saw, grabbed his double-bitted ax, and took a mighty swing at the tree.

Thwack. He removed the ax and struck the tree again just to the side of where he had previ-ously cut. Thwack. He was notching the tree on the side toward which it should fall — would fall, if his calculations were correct. A pile of wood chips gathered on Pa’s six-buckle rubber boots as he continued chopping.

Then, with the notch-ing finished, he picked up the saw and instructed me to take one end of it. He ran the saw across the side of the tree oppo-site from where he had notched, making the first cutting groove. With the groove complete, Pa and I pulled the saw steadily back and forth, back and forth, always pull-ing, never pushing. If you pushed, the saw pinched.

“Let the saw do the

work,” Pa said. “Don’t force it. Work with it.”

Finally, when I thought I couldn’t pull the saw one more time, Pa said it was time for a break. He stood up and stretched out his back, and I did the same, for pulling a crosscut saw while bent over not only tested your arms but also challenged your back.

After a five-minute break we were back pull-ing on the saw as it slowly bit its way through the giant oak. The tree con-tinued to stand straight and tall, apparently unfazed by either the chopping or the sawing.

“Not long now,” Pa finally said after the saw had made its way through most of the tree and was approaching the notch Pa had made with the ax.

And then, with a crack like a rifle shot, the big old oak began toppling, slowly at first and then more rapidly.

“Timber!” Pa yelled. We yanked the saw away from the tree and jumped out of the way as the mighty oak crashed to

the ground, the sound of its falling echo-ing through the quiet woodlot.

With the tree down, Pa grabbed the crosscut saw again, and we began cutting the larger limbs off the trunk into pieces about twelve or four-teen feet long. We pulled the pieces off to the side to await loading on our steel-wheeled wagon and hauling to the farmstead, where we’d stack them in a pile. Limbs too small for burning we made into brush piles, “a place for a rabbit to live,” Pa said. We did this several Saturdays.

When the pile by the house was 30 or so feet long and 6 to 10 feet tall, Pa stopped cutting trees and hauling limbs. On a Friday evening he began calling neighbors, starting with the saw-yer, Guy York, who lived northwest of our farm and owned a circle saw powered by a big Buick engine. The following Saturday was spent slic-ing the logs and limbs into stove lengths, a dif-

ficult, dangerous job as the big circle saw spun without a guard.

But the job of making wood wasn’t finished. Pa and I now spent many hours splitting the blocks into stove wood size.

Those who claim you are twice warmed when cutting your own wood

are so wrong. We were many times warmed.

After harvest, attention turns to making wood

By Jerry Apps

Stories from the Land

Celebrated rural historian Jerry Apps, who writes a twice-monthly column in The Country Today, recalls the sights, sounds, senti-ments — and yes, chill — of win-ters on the farm in his newest Wisconsin Historical Society Press book “The Quiet Season: Remem-bering Country Winters.”

Apps shares stories growing up and keeping warm on a farm in central Wisconsin in the 1930s and early ’40s. His memories are of a “quieter season ” — a winter world before electricity when farmers milked cows by hand by the light of a kerosene lantern. It was an era when a major part of every win-ter’s work was “making wood” to heat drafty farm homes and rural country schools and when a lack

of indoor plumbing meant every morning began with a rousingly cold dash to an outhouse.

Wisconsin winters then were also a time of reflection, of plan-ning for the next year, and of fami-lies drawing together, Apps recalls, describing how winter influenced farm families and that those who grew up with harsh northern winters are profoundly affected by their memories of “the quiet season.”

Wisconsin Public Television is completing a documentary based on Apps’s “The Quiet Season.” The production, “A Farm Winter with Jerry Apps” will air in early December.

Apps was born and raised on a central Wisconsin farm before

electricity, indoor plumbing and central heating came to the coun-try. He has been a rural histo-rian and environmental writer for more than 40 years and has pub-lished fiction and nonfiction books on many rural topics, including “Limping through Life,” “Old Farm,” “Garden Wisdom,” “Ring-lingville USA,” “Casper Jaggi: Master Swiss Cheese Maker” and “Horse-Drawn Days” for the Wis-consin Historical Society Press.

He is a former county Extension agent and professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. Jerry and his wife, Ruth, divide their time between their home in Madison and their farm, Roshara, west of Wild Rose.

724201_10-16-13

MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin wildlife offi-cials’ proposal to let people keep wild deer if they pay a fine is get-ting a cool reception from lawmakers, who say it amounts to selling off a public resource.

Republican Gov. Scott Walker told the Depart-ment of Natural Resources to find less controversial ways of handling captive deer following a public outcry when agents seized a deer from a Kenosha animal shelter and eutha-nized it this past summer.

The agency has sug-gested legislators change state law to let people keep deer if they pay a fine and meet certain other require-ments, such as keeping the deer enclosed and getting a veterinarian to check the animal out. The idea has sparked outrage among environmentalists and out-doorsmen. The DNR’s own board has adopted a resolu-tion opposing the idea, and Republican leaders said lawmakers don’t appear interested in creating a bill.

“The action plan as proposed would be very difficult to sell as legis-lation,” said Sen. Neal Kedzie, R-Elkhorn, chair-man of the Senate Natu-ral Resources Committee. “This whole issue of wild game being a resource in the wild and not for pri-vate keeping goes back 100 years. It would be very difficult to reverse that standard.”

It’s currently illegal to capture wild animals in Wisconsin. Licensed rehabilitators can hold deer temporarily but must return them to the wild. Rehabilitators in counties with chronic wasting dis-ease can’t hold deer at all because of concerns about spreading the disease.

The regulations have led to some high-profile conflicts over the past decade. The DNR ordered six deer at an animal shel-ter near Lake Geneva killed in 2004 because at least one of them came from a CWD zone. Then-Gov. Jim Doyle, a Demo-crat, signed a bill sparing the animals.

A pardon from Walker spared another deer in 2011. The DNR had planned to euthanize an orphaned fawn from a CWD zone because the Lake Geneva man who took her in couldn’t legally keep her and

she couldn’t be released. Walker acted after the Chicago Tribune ran a col-umn arguing for the ani-mal’s life.

The latest dust-up started when an Illinois family brought a fawn named Giggles to the Saint Francis Society animal shelter in Kenosha. DNR agents showed up at the shelter with a search war-rant, seized Giggles and killed her. Agency officials said they had no choice because Giggles came from a CWD zone.

The fawn’s fans criti-cized the DNR in blog postings and set up a “Jus-tice for Giggles” Facebook page. Walker ordered his Cabinet heads, includ-ing DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp, to find options to ensure another such inci-dent never happens.

The DNR proposed staff return deer to the wild as long as the animals don’t pose a threat to public or wildlife health. Eutha-nasia would be accept-able only when an animal was sick or posed a health risk. The agency’s board adopted those changes in September.

But the agency also sug-gested legislators change state law to allow people to keep wild deer as pets if they pay a $175 fine and an annual $150 regis-tration fee, keep the deer on at least a half-acre of enclosed land and buy a $450 DNR fencing certifi-cate. Animals would have to pass health checks and their owners would have to plead guilty to a violation in court and pay any addi-tional files related to that.

The idea left environ-mentalists and sports-men’s groups aghast. They argued the plan could spread disease and violates long-held conservation

tenets that wildlife is held in the public trust.

“It’s public relations over science,” said Shahla Wer-ner, executive director of the Wisconsin Sierra Club chapter.

DNR Deputy Secretary Matt Moroney said the agency got the idea from Michigan, which agreed last summer that a fam-ily could keep an illegally held fawn if the animal passed health checks and stayed in an enclosed area. The state also required the family to pay a fee and acknowledged that pos-sessing wildlife is illegal.

Moroney said soci-ety simply won’t tolerate euthanasia anymore.

Still, the DNR board adopted a resolution in September opposing the pet deer plan, calling the proposal an effort to priva-tize Wisconsin’s wild deer.

Board President Pres-ton Cole told The Associ-ated Press the idea violates “wildlife ethics 101.” He plans to convene a discus-sion on whether the DNR is moving away from sci-ence-based policy in favor of more socially accept-able rules.

Legislators also aren’t keen on the idea. Kedzie said he didn’t know of any senators working on a deer-as-pets bill. A spokeswoman for Assem-bly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Burlington, said no one in that chamber was tak-ing up the issue either.

Given that, DNR Lands Division Administrator Kurt Thiede said he hopes those officials will support the agency the next time a deer is seized.

“We still have a situa-tion here where the public doesn’t want us to eutha-nize a domesticated deer,” Moroney said. “If this isn’t the right solution, what is?”

Lawmakers cool to DNR pet deer plan

Mark Schuster only had thought of fishing musk-ies until a month ago. He had seen anglers motor past his pier on Lake Monona. He had seen them catch fish a few feet from where he sat fishing bass, panfish and other fish that were interested in his live bait.

That changed when he hinted to Ilene, his sig-nificant other, that he was interested in trying what he was seeing hap-pen near his pier. Ilene surprised him this sum-mer on his 54th birthday with a gift certificate to purchase a rod, reel and other necessary muskie gear.

In early September the muskies started biting, and it was Schuster who was hooked early one morning.

“I called Ilene on my cellphone from the pier and asked her to get up and bring the camera. I caught a monster,” Schus-ter said.

But that wasn’t the first muskie this muskie angler-come-lately caught using his birthday gift. In fact, during a period of nine days in Septem-ber, Schuster netted four muskies, 30, 33, 44 and 45 inches long, releas-ing them all, as he has done with all the fish he’s caught during his 29 years living in the Madi-son area.

Schuster, the director of human resources at Rural

Mutual Insurance Co. in Madison, started fishing when he was growing up in South Milwaukee. He and his younger brother fished for perch and salmon along Lake Mich-igan’s shore. When they were on family vacations, he always hoped it would be someplace where he could fish. It often was.

Fishing has been a reprieve from dealing with people all day, he said.

“I come home and want to do something that is quiet, soothing and found fishing is the answer,” he said. “During the open water season, I often fish two or three times a week.”

During the peak of muskie season, it may be more often than that now.

Ice fishing has never been Schuster’s thing, and neither has fishing from a boat. Sometimes he’ll walk out on the ice and talk with anglers, but he and cold weather don’t seem to mix.

“Muskie fishing is a little different,” Schus-ter said. “If you’ve ever had a muskie on line start jumping, it’s a different thrill.”

That doesn’t mean he won’t be back fish-ing smaller fish, sitting there relaxing and watch-ing various water activi-ties and hot-air balloons overhead.

“Fishing gives me some time to do a little think-ing about my job too,” he said. “But we usually don’t vacation where I can fish now, so I’ll probably be fishing in one of the Madison lakes instead of traveling out of town.”

Like all longtime anglers, he has fishing stories too.

“Back in South Mil-waukee, my Cub Scout pack was on a fishing outing and I caught the most fish,” he said. “I won a tackle box and still have it.”

Another time, when Schuster was 8, his par-ents told him and his sib-lings they had a surprise. Schuster, the oldest of three at the time, guessed, and hoped, it would be a vacation at a cottage on a lake.

“The surprise was Mother was pregnant,” he said. “Needless to say, I was disappointed, and my new sister has never let me forget it.”

The early success of hunt-ers and trappers make it likely that the wolf hunting season will be mostly closed, possibly entirely closed, before the most controversial aspect of the hunt — hunt-ing wolves with dogs — is authorized to begin Dec. 2.

As of 2 p.m. Nov. 7, only Zone 3 remains open. This is a relatively narrow zone in northwestern Wisconsin that is a transition between agri-culture and the north woods that includes parts of Burnett, Washburn, Barron, Sawyer, Rusk, Chippewa, Taylor and Price counties.

On Nov. 7, the DNR closed Zone 6 — basically the southern two-thirds of the state, as hunters had regis-tered 30 out of a quota of 30 wolves for the area.

The success rate for Zone 3 so far has been lower than in the rest of the state, and if the current success rate continues, the quota may not be reached by Dec. 2, said David MacFarland, the DNR’s large carnivore specialist.

However, with Zone 3 being the only area left open, it may attract additional hunt-ers and trappers with unfilled wolf permits, he said.

Also, the gun deer hunt is approaching, and deer hunt-ers in the woods are likely to move the wolves around, making it easier for wolf hunters, he said.

The annual deer season also is usually a time an increased number of hunters without permits illegally kill wolves. The DNR does not count illegally killed wolves toward the permit quota, but biologists do take poach-ing and other causes of wolf mortality into account when setting the quotas, MacFar-land said.

Efficient trappers

Hunters have attributed the early success in the wolf season to high numbers of

wolves. They also believe the DNR’s winter estimate of more than 800 adult wolves was low.

MacFarland attributes the increased success to changes in hunter behavior. Wolf per-mit holders learned from last year’s hunt that trapping was the most efficient way to get a wolf. Of the wolves taken so far, nearly 80 percent have been trapped, he said.

Wolves and all wild canine species — foxes and coy-otes — are difficult to trap, but there are 1,800 people with permits trying to trap or shoot a wolf, he noted. As of Nov. 7, 199 wolves had been taken. The goal is 251 wolves.

People with permits also learned from last year’s hunt that zones may close early, so many got an early start, he said.

The wolf season opened Oct. 15 and could potentially run through Feb. 28, but it is likely the quota of 251 wolves will be reached well before that.

Difficult zone

Zone 3 has a quota of 71 wolves. As of Nov. 7 only 18 have been registered.

“To be honest, we’re not really sure why Zone 3 has been so much different than the other units,” MacFarland said. The western part of the zone is generally private farmland, so it may be more difficult for wolf hunters to get access, he noted. Assum-ing the zone is still open on Dec. 2, the amount of private land would make it more dif-ficult, although not illegal, to hunt wolves with dogs in parts of the zone, he said.

MacFarland said he has heard from a couple of peo-ple who were hoping to hunt wolves with dogs who are disappointed so much of the state is closing before Dec. 2 to wolf hunting.

MacFarland noted that to move the date when dogs could be used to earlier in the fall would require action by the Legislature.

Wolf hunt may end before hunters can use dogs Complaints key

to investigationTrapping furbearing

animals can be a way for youngsters to earn money and experience the out-doors in ways that are dif-ferent from hunting or fishing.

Trapper education courses were one of the first steps for Zachery Halverson and Rowen Wipperfurth of Lone Rock to become outdoorsmen. While they knew each other and went to the same school, River Valley, they trapped separately, until recently.

Practical trapper educa-tion came quickly when they learned that not all outdoors activists are law-ful. Some steal from Wis-consin’s natural resources, and some steal from peo-ple who are law-abiding trappers.

“Trap thefts are one of the most difficult cases to make, but one never knows where a tiny bit of infor-mation might lead, how it can be put together with other complaints and citi-zen tips,” said Mike Nice, Department of Natural Resources field warden in Richland County.

Both boys had their first traps stolen just a few days after making sets for musk-rats, mink, raccoons and beavers on nearby streams, rivers and marshes. In a matter of months warden Nice had two complaints, which he believed were unrelated because they occurred months and miles apart.

“I took $300 from my savings account, money I had earned shoveling snow, mowing lawns and doing chores at home,” Zachery said. “That’s how I bought traps.”

Rowen said he had earned money to purchase his traps by working for Oakwood Fruit Farm in Richland County.

Clearly these boys were devastated that their hard-earned money was now in the hands of a thief. What they hoped would be an exciting outdoors experi-ence, one that might turn a little profit, was extremely dis-appointing. But they didn’t give up.

The relatives of both young trappers did the right thing: They reported the incidents to warden Nice, regardless of how fruitless it may have seemed.

“One complaint came in December 2012 from the uncle of a young trap-per. The father of the other boy called me in March to report someone had stolen his son’s traps,” Nice said.

Nice filed that informa-

tion away until he received a tip that someone was shooting beavers and muskrats, which is illegal, and for taking furbearers after the season was closed,

which is also illegal.

Nice and his assistant set their own trap by construct-ing a muskrat decoy, going to the detail of putting greens in the front paws of the rodent. They set the decoy by a bridge the suspect was

thought to frequent. And they waited.

Along came the sus-pect, got out of his vehicle and shot the frozen musk-rat. Moments later he was apprehended.

The suspect admitted stealing traps and also

shining and shooting deer at night. The charges were put before the district attor-ney, the deer case resulted in a stiff fine and revoca-tion of all hunting, trap-ping and fishing licenses for three years. But the trap theft was removed, in part, in a plea agreement, which left the traps in limbo.

But with the admission of theft by the suspect, Nice was able to obtain all of the stolen traps — some of which were the boys’ Christmas gifts — and return them to the boys.

“Maybe the next time someone thinks about stealing a young trapper’s equipment, they will think about how their son or daughter might feel on a beautiful winter morning when all they find along their trap lines are empty sets,” Tom Halverson said.

There are two ways to design a machine. One approach is to strap your customers’ boots on and build something you assume they need. Or, you can let them wear their own boots as they tell you what’s really needed in the field. Before we set out to build the BPX9000, we listened closely

to what our customers wanted and needed in a bale processor. They kept asking for the same things: Simplicity, Durability and Versatility.So that’s the bale processor we built.

Land Stewardship Project

Five years into her farming career, Janna Goerdt has learned a lot about how to use sweat equity to coax the most production out of the soils of Fat Chicken Farm near Embarrass, Minn.

But the 40-year-old former journalist has also gotten savvy about how to set some sustain-able limits on both her farm and herself.

“The thing I’ve real-ized is your enthusi-asm can only take you so far,” Goerdt said one recent morning while taking a break from har-vesting vegetables on the former dairy operation. “You have to be realistic about what you can do and what you can keep up doing.”

For Goerdt and other area graduates of the Farm Beginnings course, such smart planning is second nature. That’s because a key compo-nent of Farm Beginnings is to teach students how

to not only develop a business plan and market their products but how to balance growth of a new operation with the finan-cial, physical and techni-cal resources available to the farmer, according to Cree Bradley, course coordinator in the Lake

Superior region.In 2013, the Farm

Beginnings program is marking its 16th year of providing firsthand training in low-cost, sustainable methods of farming. The course is tailor-made for people of all ages just getting started in farming, as well as established farm-ers looking to make

changes in their opera-tions, according to Bradley. Farm Begin-nings participants learn goal-setting, financial planning, enterprise planning, marketing and innovative production techniques.

Classes are led by farmers and other agri-cultural professionals from the area, and Farm

Beginnings graduates are involved in a wide range of agricultural enterprises, including grass-based livestock, crops and community-supported agriculture.

Started in Minnesota, the Farm Beginnings model of farmer-to-farmer, community-based education has been replicated in sev-eral states and serves as a model for the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s national Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program.

A partnership between the Land Stewardship Project and the Lake Superior Sustainable Farming Association is making the Farm Begin-nings course available in Esko, Minn., beginning this fall.

This is the fifth year the class has been offered in the Lake Superior area, and Brad-ley said the strategic planning portion of the course is particularly important in a region where new farmers often find a huge demand for the local produce, meat and other products they raise.

“A big issue for begin-ning farmers is the idea of dealing with demand,” said Bradley, who operates a CSA pro-duce operation near Two Harbors, Minn. “We talk in Farm Beginnings about building slow. We talk about a strategic business plan.”

Farm Beginnings grad-uates Todd and Kelsey Rothe say they agree that strategic planning is critical. They raise veg-etables on River Road Farm near Ashland for the wholesale market as well as a CSA collective.

Todd, 38, recently re-entered farming after

taking six years off. He said that when he was farming before, he knew how to produce a lot of vegetables but didn’t “handle the numbers” so well and became burned out by the workload.

This is the second year the Rothes have raised produce at their current location; they are cul-tivating about 1½ acres of vegetables on the 30-acre farm, with plans to grow.

“It’s like a lion on a leash,” Todd said. “We could definitely plant every available acre and it would still be sold. But we have to keep that holistic goal in mind of balancing growth with quality of life and developing a sustainable business.”

Kelsey, 29, said Farm Beginnings didn’t so much teach them how to farm as how to manage their enterprise in a way that they could figure out if day-to-day deci-sions were fitting their overall goals of mak-ing a comfortable living while being an asset to the community.

“We want to grow smart, instead of explod-ing,” she said after recently showing off the couple’s collection of hoop houses and move-able greenhouses. “You need to have a plan and get it on paper.”

Three Farm Begin-nings graduates from the Duluth, Minn., area credit the course’s reli-ance on established farmers as instructors as the key to providing the kind of grounding needed to develop realis-tic expectations of a new business.

Lori Anderson, 46, raises vegetables for local markets on Grow-ing Farms, an incubator for new producers across the road from the Uni-versity of Minnesota’s Research and Field Stud-ies Center in Duluth. She grew up on a farm near Kelsey, Minn., and would like to eventu-ally reclaim that now-overgrown land for food production. For the past several years, Ander-son has been involved in her family’s polar fleece accessory business.

“Since I’m in busi-ness, I know that end of it, but when it comes to weather and plants, nothing ever goes by the book — you need to talk to someone who has the experience,” said Anderson while tak-ing a break at Growing Farms with two other Farm Beginnings gradu-ates — Michael Latsch and Jason Aronson. “The farmers are so willing to share information in Farm Beginnings.”
