Those forests are home to a lot of predators, from the gray wolves and coyotes to the smaller red fox. This year’s cover photo features a young-of-the-year fox with its tiny tail and telltale white tip. The photo was taken on privately-owned forest lands near a lake in the town of Conover. The pup was re- turning to its den with several others on a clear, sunny morning just after sunrise. —Staff Photo By KURT KRUEGER WATCH FOR THE 22001188 HHEEAADDWWAATTEERRSS AARREEAA GGUUIIDDEE Coming April 2018 River Eagle Permit No. 13 No. Permit PAID NOTE: To update or add information or to have your Postage U.S. ECRWSS PRSRT STD PRSRT N O R T A P L A T S O business represented, call (715) 479-4421.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

Specifically, MSW was tasked with studying the potential impacts to Public Radio Station Transmitter Facilities that may result from the TV Band Repack and associated DTV Station channel changes and facility modifications. Digital Television stations will be repacked to channels 2-36 after the completion of the FCC’s Incentive Auction. These channel changes are likely to impact some Public Radio stations that a share tower or are near-co-located with a television station. There are several possible impacts ranging from down-time during rigging and derigging operations to loss of tower space and possible relocation due to tower structural limits. The specific impact is highly dependent upon the specific tower situation as well as the new channel assigned to the co-located TV Station(s). A. Potentially Impacted Radio Stations MSW has conducted a study to determine the number of CPB Eligible Radio Stations that are co-located on the same tower as one or more TV Stations.

    Milwaukee Mayor Throws Hat in Ring with Upcoming Recall Election of Governor by DANIEL BICE, LARRY SANDLER and PATRICK MARLEY MILWAUKEE, Wis

    Saturday, March 31, 2012 Milwaukee mayor throws hat in ring with upcoming recall election of governor By DANIEL BICE, LARRY SANDLER and PATRICK MARLEY MILWAUKEE, Wis. — It took a little while, but Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has finally decided whether to run in the upcoming recall election. He’s in. In a Friday afternoon e-mail to supporters, Barrett, who has twice run unsuccessfully for governor, announced that he will be making a third bid for the state’s highest office as part of the recall election of Gov. Scott Walker. “We need to bring our state back,” Barrett wrote in the note. “Wisconsin needs a governor who is focused on jobs, not ideology; a leader committed to bringing our state together and healing political wounds, not pitting people against each other and catering to the special interests. “This is the governor I will be for the people of Wisconsin.” Barrett’s candidacy will have an immediate impact. “His candidacy is a game-changer,” said Jim Palmer, head of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, which has yet to endorse a candidate. “The candidates who have been in the race so far have not drawn a lot of excitement.” The mayor’s decision to run sets up a possible rematch of the 2010 gubernatorial election. In that race, Walker, a Wauwatosa Republican, defeated the Democratic mayor by 52 percent-47 percent. Barrett’s much-anticipated announcement came just hours after state elections officials officially ordered the recall contest, making Walker the third governor in the nation to face a recall and Rebecca Kleefisch the first lieutenant governor to face one.

QUOTE(S) OF THE DAY “If I can't find some mystery, something that moves me, then I have just done an illustration, not a painting. The paintings that really thrill me are those that leave a lot unsaid, but there's a presence" – Lee Weiss Sad news from The Garver Gallery Lee Weiss died today (11/27) at age 90 “Lee Weiss has been a resident of Madison, WI for most of her painting career. Since the 1960s Weiss has built a national reputation for her adventuresome use of the watercolor medium. Weiss has participated in every major American watercolor competition from the 1960s through the 1990s and her pieces are in numerous museum and corporate collections including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Art, the National Space and Air Museum, and the Phillips Collection, all in Washington, D.C. Weiss’ works are known for their interpretation of the spiritual qualities of nature and for her mastery of the watercolor medium through innovative painting techniques. Since the mid-1960's Weiss has developed her work from small-scale depictions of large landscapes to monumental presentations of landscape details.” “Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.” – Rita Mae Brown “In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.” – William Blake “I've discovered that Motown and Broadway have a lot in common - a family of wonderfully talented, passionate, hardworking young people, fiercely competitive but also full of love and appreciation for the work, for each other and for the people in the audience.” – Berry Gordy “If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.” – Jon Stewart “Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll.
  • Historic Day: Wisconsin's Governor, Lieutenant Governor Recalled

    Historic Day: Wisconsin's Governor, Lieutenant Governor Recalled

    March 30, 2012 Historic day: Wisconsin’s governor, lieutenant governor recalled By KIRSTEN ADSHEAD MADISON — To some, it’s a feat. For others, a frustration. But historic? Unprecedented? On that there can be no argument. The Government Accountability Board, or GAB, which oversees state elections, on Friday certified recall elections against Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators. Walker is only the third governor in the nation to be recalled to an early election, following California’s Gray Davis in 2003 and North Dakota’s Lynn Frazier in 1921. Evan Mecham, of Arizona, faced a recall election in 1988, but he was impeached before it could be held. According to GAB, petitioners collected 900,939 valid signatures to recall Walker — shy of Gray’s 1.3 million. But, then, California’s population is 6.5 times greater than Wisconsin’s. “It certainly says the state (Wisconsin) is very politically engaged, the fact that so many signatures were gathered,” said national recalls expert Joshua Spivak, who writes the Recall Elections Blog. “That’s really an impressive amount.” Kleefisch is the first lieutenant governor in U.S. history to be recalled, said Spivak. And the four Senate seats solidify Wisconsin’s reputation as king of the statewide recalls. Spivak said 42 state-level recall elections have occurred in the nation’s history, and 15 of those — 36 percent — have taken place in Wisconsin in the past two years, including last summer’s nine state Senate recall elections. WHAT'S NEXT? State law requires a recall election be held the Tuesday of the sixth week after the recall is certified.
