Homestead junior Sami VanDrisse goes up for an uncontested layup during the fourth quarter of Tuesday’s win. The play, assisted by junior Taylor McIlwraith, gave the Highlanders a 45-38 lead. The team went on to earn a 48-43 victory, improving to 9-2 for the season. plays became a key difference as the game wore on. One example of that came with just under three minutes to play. Oconomowoc senior Heidi Tremaine missed a perimeter shot and the ball was batted around until McIlwraith came up with the loose ball and was able to push it ahead to VanDrisse as she hit the floor. VanDrisse collected the pass and took it the rest of the way for an uncontested layup, giving the Highlanders a 45-38 lead, which was their biggest since holding an 11-2 edge in the opening quarter. VanDrisse was involved in another critical play late in the third period. She got the ball

sounded, giving the Highlanders a 36-34 lead at the close of the quarter. Hearn came up with a pair of sensational defensive plays in the opening stages of the fourth period, blocking an Oconomowoc shot and coming up with the ball on one possession, then coming back down and making a steal on the next possession after she made a bad pass at the offensive end. “Everybody makes mistakes, everybody turns the ball over, everybody misses shots, (and the question is) how are your players going to react to that,” Wolf said about a series of plays that were part of an eight-point, eight-

plays.” Homestead needed all those effort plays to hold off a solid comeback bid by the visitors. “I’m happy we found a way to win. There were times we had momentum and we lost it. We got it back and we lost it again,” Wolf said. “Our girls kept fighting and they made enough plays to win this game.” Things got started on a good note for the Highlanders, who ran off 11 unanswered points after Oconomowoc scored the opening basket of the game.

we’ll see what happens.” The Cavaliers have gone 1-7 in the four-time MVP’s absence and have dropped five in a row. James said his time off was good “for me but not for the team.” “We struggled and I hate seeing that and I hate seeing us not play to our ability with me sitting out,” he said. Cleveland’s latest loss was 103-84 at Sacramento on Sunday. “We just play well at times but we don’t sustain the effort for 48 minutes,” he said.

After trailing 18-12 at halftime, the SoBos played solid ball in the third quarter, with the two teams entering the final period tied 26-26. The teams traded buckets until Galbreath’s stomach began to rumble. Besides Marcus’ stellar play inside, the Vikings received a solid performance from Hanna Martin, who hit a critical threepointer to give North Boone (4-7) a seven-point advantage with three minutes to play. Martin believes her team is ready to take a step forward. “This was our first time playing without Riley,” Martin said. “It took some time to get used to not having her out there. Hopefully we can step up as a team and get better every game from here on out.” Galbreath said her team had some adjusting to do as well. “We haven’t played a game in over a month,” Galbreath said. “But I thought there were some good things out there. I think the main thing we have to do is be more confident in ourselves, especially when we’re shooting the ball.” The SoBos will host Pecatonica Thursday at 6 p.m., while North Boone hosts Johnsburg.

Kobe Chandler (3) of Aldrich 3 defends against a breakaway layup by McNeel 2’s Brandon Perry Friday at McNeel Intermediate School. McNeel 2 won, 40-10. In the second game, McNeel 1 defeated Aldrich 4, 39-26.

I R V I N G, Te x a s ( A P ) — DeMarco Murray had no interest in discussing his future with the Dallas Cowboys a day after a division-round loss to Green Bay. Dez Bryant didn’t even show up when the locker room was open to reporters Monday, far from unexpected when he knew the primary topic would be his huge catch that could have set up a late touchdown getting reversed on replay in a 26-21 defeat. Not to mention whether he’ll be back. The dominant question of the offseason — along with how soon coach Jason Garrett gets a new contract — will be the status of the NFL rushing leader in Murray and the league’s top producer of receiving touchdowns in Bryant. Both are free agents, and both would take a big chunk of a salary cap that’s still a little tight for the Cowboys even after dumping franchise sacks leader DeMarcus Ware last year. “I’m not worried about my future,” Murray said. “I just lost a big game, the biggest game of my life. Just not worried about it right now. Just relax with my family and get away from it for a little bit.” Bryant won’t be able to get away from questions about the catch that wasn’t for a long time, maybe until he gets past the divisional round, if that ever happens. It was a play of such magnitude, even defensive players were getting questions about whether it was a catch, and whether the rule should change. Of course the Cowboys are going to say it was a catch, but several were quick to add that there were other opportunities to get the storied franchise to an NFC championship game for the first time in 19 years.

Brush truck order moves forward Majority of cost will be paid by a grant By Bert Lehman Editor

CLINTONVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The order for a new brush truck for the Clintonville Fire Department is moving forward.

Members of the Madison West boys cross country team celebrate winning the WIAA Division 1 state team title Saturday, Nov. 1, at The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. The Regents scored 77 points to claim the title.

Hacker, Regents race to state title JEREMY JONES Sports editor

Madison West senior Olin Hacker not only won his second WIAA Division 1 boys state cross country title Saturday, Nov. 1, but also helped the Regents to their second state team title in the past three years. Hacker fell five seconds shy of former Stevens Point standout Chris Solinsky’s state record at The Ridges Golf Course, winning the meet in 14 minutes, 59 seconds. “I wanted to come out here and show people what I could do and what our team could do,” Hacker said. “I think I did that.” Big Eight rival Ryan Nameth of Verona Area High School led Hacker at the mile marker before the West standout began to open up a sizeable lead. “A little bit after the mile I got a bit of an advantage on him down a

hill,” Hacker said. From that point on he continued to hammer out a bigger and bigger gap, winning the race by 36 seconds over Nameth (15:35), who finished runner up for the second straight year. “It’s been an incredibly rivalry,” Hacker said of Nameth. “We’ve pushed each other so much, and ran so much faster because of one another.” In winning his second title Hacker joined an elite group that includes his father Tim and uncle Jeff. His other uncle Bill also won a state title. Madison West senior Olin Hacker “To be able to come out here and repeated as the WIAA Division 1 state race well one weekend two years in champion in 14 minutes, 59 seconds. a row, it’s just incredible,” Hacker Hacker’s time was only five second said. “To have my dad do that in off the state record by SPASH’s Chris front of me just makes it even more Solinsky. special.” Both his father and uncles were at watch me,” he said. “That means a lot.” The Ridges to cheer on Hacker. Not even an hour delay before the “For me it’s just really cool that first race of the day (Division 3 boys they took time to come out here and

race) could slow Hacker. “The delay didn’t matter,” he said. “It is what it is. Everybody had to deal with it. I felt great today. “I’ve been preparing for this weekend for awhile and it all worked out.” Not to be overshadowed by Hacker’s individual performance, the Regents placed all five varsity scorers in the top 26 to post a teambest 77 points. West averaged 16:09 per runner – 33 seconds faster than defending state champion Stevens Point, which finished with 80 points in second place. Arrowhead (178) rounded out the top three. Hacker committed to the University of Wisconsin-Madison two evenings before state. He will join Division 2 state champion Ben Eidenschink of Nekoosa/Port Edwards running for the Badgers next season. “It’s so cool,” Hacker said. “I’m so excited for next year.”

Timothy Browning, right, installs his prehistoric Hodag skeleton on Lake Monona Sunday with help from fellow Lake Monona winter art enthusiast Dick Guyot.

roughly 40,000 motorists a day driving toward Monona Terrace from John Nolen Drive have a clear view of them. Most drivers probably won’t recognize the skeleton as belonging to the Hodagosaurus. Only those in the know will understand the tribute to Rhinelander’s mythical creature. The Hodag is the official symbol of that North Woods city, where it is also is the mascot of Rhinelander High School. Many businesses and organizations in the area have adopted the name. Because the Hodag is so closely associated with Rhinelander, Browning said, he didn’t want his to be mistaken for their Hodag, so he did a dinosaur version. “I’ve just been storytelling and interested in stuff like that for billions of years,” said Browning, 56, who works third shift

stocking shelves at a Madison grocery store. As a Boy Scout, Browning said, he would camp in the

Rhinelander area. The adults told stories about the Hodag and warned that it would come and get them, he said. In the 1890s, well-known land surveyor and prankster Eugene Shepard began rumors about the Hodag and rounded up a group of locals to capture the animal. Browning, who named his installation Eugene, is also a prankster. He likes to tell people that he’s been working with North Woods farmers for the past 25 years to re-establish the Hodag in Wisconsin. For now, there’s at least a dinosaur version out on Lake Monona. That is, until the ice melts. Samara Kalk Derby covers events in and around Madison on Sundays.

Jordan ready to swap inmate for pilot held by Islamic State AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan is willing to swap an Iraqi woman prisoner involved in deadly 2005 hotel bombings for a Jordanian pilot captured in December by extremists from the Islamic State group, a government spokesman said today. Such a swap would run counter to Jordan’s hardline approach toward Islamic militants and to the position of its main ally, the United States, of not negotiating with extremists. An exchange also would set a precedent for negotiating with Islamic State group militants, who in the past have not publicly demanded prisoner releases. However, Jordan’s government faces domestic pressure to bring the pilot home, while its participation in a U.S.-led military coalition against the Islamic State group is widely unpopular among Jordanians. The government spokesman, Mohammed al-Momani, did not say whether a swap would actually take place. He also made no mention of Japanese

the Iraqi prisoner, Sajida alRishawi, if the Jordanian pilot, Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, is released unharmed.” His comments were carried by Jordan’s official Petra news agency. Al-Rishawi was sentenced to death in Jordan for her involvement in a 2005 al-Qaida attack on hotels in Amman that killed 60 people. Her release would be a major propaganda coup for the Islamic State group. Jordan is reportedly in indirect talks with the militants through religious and tribal leaders in Iraq to secure the hostages’ release. The chairman of the foreign affairs committee of Jordan’s parliament, Bassam Al-Manasseer, has been quoted as saying that Jordan and Japan would not negotiate directly with the Islamic State group and would not free al-Rishawi for the Japanese hostage only. The pilot’s father, Safi alKaseasbeh, has repeatedly criticized the Jordanian government’s handling of the crisis,

the father said. The pilot’s brother, Jawad al-Kaseasbeh, said the family is still “waiting for any word from the Jordanian government.” On Tuesday evening, about 200 of the pilot’s relatives protested outside the prime minister’s office in Amman, chanting anti-government slogans and urging that it meet the captors’ demands. In Tokyo, the mother of the Japanese hostage appealed publicly to Japan’s premier to save her son. Junko Ishido read to reporters her plea to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, which she said she sent after both Abe and Japan’s main government spokesman declined to meet with her. “Please save Kenji’s life,” Ishido said, begging Abe to work with the Jordanian government until the very end to try to save Goto. “Kenji has only a little time left,” she said. Later, a few dozen people January 29, 2015 7:44 pm / gathered in front of the prime minister’s official residence,

That’s why we encourage passengers to wear warm boots and heavy socks. But all in all, winter has its advantages.” Nerbonne said between 30 and 40 hot-air balloons are expected for the festival, now in its 26th year. As many as 15,000 people are expected to attend the weekend’s activities in this west-central Wisconsin town on the banks of the St. Croix River just east of the Twin Cities. And while no rides are offered at the festival, the balloons are still a spectacle to see. Nerbonne said she first went flying in a hot-air balloon a few years before the festival started, when a friend invited her. She loved it. “Several of us who were involved with the Hudson business community and the chamber decided back in 1989 that we needed a

But there are several in the Midwest, and Hudson claims to have the largest in the region. “Though I probably shouldn’t say this to avoid jinxing things, we’ve never been totally blizzarded out in all the time we’ve had this festival,” she said. “We have had, however, weekends that gave us trouble because they were too warm and we got fog. And you can’t fly with fog.” Nerbonne said the prevailing winds usually come from the northwest or west, which means the balloons, baskets and their passengers fly over farmland in St. Croix County toward Roberts or Hammond. Sometimes, however, the wind has blown from the south, taking the balloons up to Somerset. “What we really don’t want is for the wind to come from the east because that would send us into Minnesota toward the Twin Cities, where we don’t want to go,” she said.

The ice is now stored and used at various local community events. (Portage County Gazette photo)

Roundabouts optimal for I-39 interchange By NATHANAEL ENWALD of The Gazette A Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) official said the state’s tentative plans for the Stanley Street/Highway 66 and Interstate 39 (I-39) interchange project include three roundabouts – which are the safest and best way to preserve public access to nearby businesses – during a presentation to the Stevens Point Board of Public Works Monday, Feb .9. “There are a number of reasons we need to do some work on the Stanley Street/Highway 66 interchange, the first one is that the bridge clearance at the interchange (is too low). At the time it was built, it was standard for a local road. It’s at

14 feet nine inches. With the current traffic there and the current standards, it should be 16 feet nine inches,” said Jeff Stewart, DOT project manager for the I-39 project. “The bridge was hit twice in 2013 (by large trucks).” “The second reason, as many of you are aware, is that northbound traffic coming off I-39 getting on Highway 66/Stanley Street causes significant delays and backups that occur during peak hours,” he said. Additionally, he said the city has requested the state look into the Green Avenue/North Point Drive intersection. “There are problems and concerns with the side road access at Green Avenue and North Point Drive

because it’s so close to the interchange – about 500 feet – there are a lot of near-misses and a lot of delays if you’re on the side street,” Stewart said. “Also, more than one person has addressed there are some bicycle and pedestrian needs there; first off, there is nothing in place at this time and those that do use it have commented that it is unsafe and the Portage County Bike and Pedestrian Plan has this on its route,” he said. “The last thing is that there is some speed differentials that are going on here, the traffic is moving as such that it creates some confusion and when it comes to identifying gaps in traffic flow, it doesn’t make the operation work very well,” Stewart said.

Snowplows worked overtime Monday to clean up from the record-setting storm that dumped as much as a foot of snow in southern Wisconsin. With 10.4 inches reported at Mitchell International Airport, Milwaukee set a snowfall record for Feb. 1, easily eclipsing the previous record of 9 inches, set in1915. The official snow total for the weekend snowstorm, which started about 9 p.m. Saturday and ended around 3 a.m. Monday, was 12 inches in Milwaukee. Clearing all that snow was a major undertaking for Milwaukee’s Department of Public Works, which sent out 250 pieces of equipment Sunday to handle the city’s roughly 7,000 lane miles of road, said

Junior forward Sam Dekker had 16 points to match Koenig for gamehigh honors, while Wisconsin also received 12 points, seven rebounds and five assists from senior center Frank Kaminsky and 11 points and eight rebounds from sophomore forward Nigel Hayes. After becoming Wisconsin’s all-time leader in games started, Gasser produced eight points, nine rebounds and three assists in 35 turnover-free minutes. “They’re a bunch of old guys that have a chance to win a national championship,” Northwestern coach Chris Collins said. “What we wanted to do was come in here, compete like crazy, try to give ourselves a

K n ow i n g h i s yo u n g team would have difficulty matching up with the Badgers, Collins used a 2-3 zone for much of the game even though Northwestern has used a manto-man defense most of the season. The Wildcats effectively took the air out of the ball by limiting the Badgers to a season-low 52 possessions, but one of the risks of playing zone is locating opponents to box out on missed shots. Not surprisingly, Wisconsin finished with 13 offensive rebounds that it converted into 13 secondchance points. “When you have me, Nig and Frank going to the glass,” said Dekker, who finished with a game-high four offensive rebounds, “it puts the 9, 2015 9:41 pm / defense on their heelsFebruary and makes their job tougher to

Whitnall’s Arteaga discovers talent, ease in boxing ring Senior wins state, regional crowns, sets sights on Olympics By JOHN RECH jrech@jrn.com

After trying out a number of different activities over the years, Alexis Arteaga finally found an area where she feels

right at home — the boxing ring. The Whitnall High School senior is well aware she is in a distinct minority as a female youth boxer, but she has developed a passion for the sport. “I just fell in love with boxing,” she said. “I finally knew what my talent was. It gives me a good feeling after a good workout. Now that I am

learning the art of boxing, I can really appreciate a good fight and the ability to hit but not be hit.” Arteaga, who competes in the 17- and 18-year old age group and the 152-pound weight division, has been fighting for about three years and owns an 8-3 career record. Among her career highlights so far are Wisconsin state cham-

pionships in 2013 and 2014 and a regional title in 2014.

Won Chicago tournament She also won the “Power Gloves” competition in Chicago in 2013-14 and recently finished as the runner-up at a national meet in Reno, Nevada, in January. Please see BOXING, Page 16

Once we lost that one, it was going to be an uphill battle. It’s tough for Josh; he’s been battling a pulled muscle in his chest for a few weeks, and it flared up in the match.
