>> WELCOME TO "IN WISCONSIN."
I'M PATTY LOEW.
THIS WEEK; SEE WHY IT TAKES A
RESEARCHER FROM HALFWAY AROUND
THE WORLD TO HELP SAVE ONE OF
WISCONSIN'S NATIVE LANGUAGES.
THERE COULD BE A UNIQUE CATCH TO
YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT FISH FRY.
>> IN WISCONSIN WE COULD REALLY
DO SOME WONDERFUL THINGS WITH
FISH FARMING.
>> WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW
AQUACULTURE WORKS.
PLUS THIS LITTLE PURPLE BOOK
CONTAINS MOTHER NATURE'S
SECRETS.
SEE WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN
ARBORETUM AND ALDO LEOPOLD'S
LEGACY.
THOSE REPORTS NEXT, ON "IN
WISCONSIN".
>> MAJOR FUNDING FOR "IN
WISCONSIN" IS PROVIDED BY THE
PEOPLE OF ALLIANT ENERGY, WHO
BRING SAFE, RELIABLE AND
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ENERGY
TO KEEP HOMES, NEIGHBORHOODS AND
LIFE IN WISCONSIN RUNNING
SMOOTHLY.
ALLIANT ENERGY, WE'RE ON FOR
YOU.
AND THE ANIMAL DENTISTRY AND
ORAL SURGERY SPECIALISTS OF
MILWAUKEE AND OSHKOSH, A
VETERINARY TEAM WORKING WITH PET
OWNERS AND FAMILY VETERINARIANS
THROUGHOUT WISCONSIN, PROVIDING
CARE FOR SMALL COMPANION OPB
MALLS.
WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING PROVIDED
BY BIKE WISCONSIN.
>> LIKE MANY NATIVE CULTURES,
THE HO-CHUNK ARE STRUGGLING TO
PRESERVE THEIR LANGUAGE.
LEARNING THE LANGUAGE IS TOUGH,
BUT DOING IT WITHOUT A GRAMMAR
TEXTBOOK MAKES IT NEXT TO
IMPOSSIBLE.
FOR THE FIRST TIME THERE IS SUCH
A BOOK FOR THEST TIME
COMES A RENEWED INTO IN
HO-CHUNK.
ART HACKETT SHOWS YOU HOW A
RESEARCHER IS HELPINGO SAVE
THIS NATIVE LANGUAGE IN THE
WISCONSIN DELLS.
[ SPEAKING HO-CHUNK ]
>> THIS TEACHER INSTRUCTS
STUDENTS AT WISCONSIN DELLS HIGH
SCHOOL.
OTHERS ATTEND BY WAY OF A T.V.
HOOKUP.
THE SUBJECT?
THE HO-CHUNK LANGUAGE.
>> I AM A LANGUAGE APPRENTICE.
I WORKED WITH A FLUENT SPEAKER.
>> LITTLE GEORGE IS STILL IN THE
PROCESS OF FULLY LEARNING THE
LANGUAGE FROM NATIVE SPEAKERS
WHO SUPERVISE THE CLASS.
ONE OF THEM IS CAROLYN WHITE
EAGLE, LITTLE GEORGE'S MOTHER.
>> I GREET YOU ALL THIS MORNING.
>> WHAT THEY WERE SAYING IS THAT
THEY GREETED YOU, OR GREETED
EVERYONE, AND THEN THEY TOLD A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEMSELVES,
THEIR AGE, WHERE THEY'RE FROM,
WHAT CLAN THAT THEY ARE.
>> THE LEARNING MATERIALS
INCLUDE A VOCABULARY BOOK AND
POSTERS SHOWING THE MONTHS OF
THE YEAR.
>> MARCH.
>> THIS IS TRTIST FOR THE
LANGUAGE PROGRAM, AND HE AND
OTHER SPES CAME UP WITH THE
FIRST WORD BOOK, IT'S CALLED.
>> BUT THERE IS N BOOK YOU
WOULD FIND IN A SPANISH OR
FRENCH CLASS, A GRAMMAR TEXT.
>> SOON, THERE WILL BE.
THESE STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF WISCONSIN IN MADISON ARE
USING AFT VERSION OF THE
TEXT.
>> SO IF I LEAVE OFF THE
DEFINITE ARTICLE, THIS IS
GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT.
>> THIS CLASS IS PART OF THE
EVALUATION PROCESS NECESSARY TO
CERTIFY THE MATERIAL FOR USE IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
>> SO WOULD I SAY DID YOU
PUT SOMETHING ONR FOOT?
>> IRENE HARTMAN WROTE
TEXTBOOK.
SHE WARNS THIS IS ONE THE
EASY CONJUGATIONS.
>> THESE TWO DEMONSTRATE.
HARTMAN EXPLAINS.
>> DID YOU CATCH THAT?
THE WORD TO PUT ON ANY OTHER
GARMENT, PUT SOMETHING ON YOUR
HEAD.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> HEY, PERFECT FIT.
DID YOU CATCH THE SECOND AND
FIRST PERSON, BY ANY CHANCE?
FIRST PERSON.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE PLURAL
IS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE
SEENORE.
>> HO-CHUNK IS NOT HARTMAN'S
NATIVE LANGUAGE, NOR IS ENGLISH,
FOR THAT MATTER.
>> I WAS A LINGUISTIC STUDEN
GERMANY, AND THE PROFESSOR, HE
HAD A FELLOWSHIP IN CHICAGO.
HE HAD BEEN DOING SOME WORK ON
HO-CHUNK ON AND OFF, TRYING TO
GET SMALLER GRANTS AND THAT.
AND THEN HE FINALLY APPLIED FOR
A LARGER GRANT WITH THE UW
FOUNDATION OUT OF GERMANY.
>> SO IT IS THE LANGUAGE IS
BEING PRESERVED BY A FOUNDATION
CREATED BY THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT
AMERICA'S SMALL CARS.
HERE IS THE WEBSITE MAINTAINED
IN THE NETHERLANDS.
HERE'S THE PAGE OF DOCUMENTATION
FOR HO-CHUNK.
>> I GOT INTERESTED IN THE
LANGUAGE.
AND I DID A LOT OF THE FIELD
WORK.
WE WERE WORKING ON A DICTIONARY
DATABASE AND A TEXT COLLECTION.
I GOT TO WORK A A LOT OF LOT OF DIFFEREN
SPEAKERS.
I GOT TO KNOW THE LE
FAIRLY WELL.
I CAN BREAK DOWN THE STRUCTURE
PRETTY WELL.
>> AT UW-MADISON HARTMAN HAS
BEEN WORKING WITH THE FATHER AND
SON TEAM OF CECIL AND HEMMING
GARVIN.
>> HO-CHUNK IS SPOKEN IN OUR
HOME, NOTHING BUT HO-CHUNK.
SO WE LEARNED IT AS A FIRST
LANGUAGE.
WE LEARNED IN THE FIRST GRADE,
THEN WE HAD TO BEGIN TO LEARN
ENGLISH.
EVEN THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL I ONLY
SPOKE HO-CHUNK.
THEY EXPECTED US AT HOME TO
LEARN ENGLISH.
>> HE IS A LINGUISTICS.
>> I DIDN'T LEARN IT AS A CHILD.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM, IS IT'S NOT
BEING TRANSMITTED TO THE YOUNGER
GENERATION.
>>IL IS AMONG ONLY 200
SPEAKERS LEFT.
>> WE'VE GOT THE ELDER
GENERATION STILL SPEAKING.
WE'VE GOT SOME YOUNG GUYS.
WE'VE GOT THE PARENT GENERATION
WHO ARE NOT SPEAKERS.
IF YOU WANT TO TEACH THEM THE
LANGUAGE, THEY DON'T ACQUIRE
NATURALLY ANYMORE.
THEY NEED TOOLS TO LEARN THE
LANGUAGE.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE THEM A
TOOL.
>> 50 YEARS FROM NOW, IN THE
EVENT THEY WOULD -- WE HAVE NO
SPEAKERS LEFT, THAT IS THE ONLY
SOURCE THAT WILL -- OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO LEARN FROM.
I D FEAR TO LOSE THE
LANGUAGE.
WE ARE NY THERE.
>> READY?
GO.
>> SOME OF THE UW STUDENTS ARE
HO-CHUNK.
SOME ARE NOT.
ONE OF THE EXERCISES INVOLVES AN
ADAPTATION OF THE GAME
PICTIONARY.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF PREFIXES.
YOU HAVE THINGS INSERTED INTO
THE VERB.
YOU HAVE A WHOLE RANGE OF
SUFFICIENT PHYSICIANS.
>>PHYSICIANS -
SUFFIXES.
>> SOMETIMES YOU NEED MORE THAN
A VERB.
>> THIS IS TELEVISION.
THIS IS PICTURE.
THIS IS LIKE MOVING, SO MOVING
PICTURES.
AND A COKE IS A BOX.
SO BOX OF MOVING PICTURES.
>> IN THE DELLS HIGH SCHOOL
CLASSROOM WHERE THE BOX WITH
MOVING PICTURES OFFERS LEARNING
BY HEARING, THOSE WHO SPEAK THE
LANGUAGE AND WANT TO T IT TO
OTHERS SAY THE GRAMMAR TEXTBOOK
CAN'T ARRIVE SOON ENOUGH.
>> YOU K TIME IS NOT ON OUR
SIDE RIGHT NOW, AND THEY STARTED
THIS APPRENTICE PROGRAM, YOU
KNOW, IT'S ONLY A HANDFUL OF
PEOPLE TRYING TO SAVE OUR
LANGUAGE.
>> ACCORDING TO ONE HO-CHUNK
TEACHER, OF THE 7,000 MEMBERS IN
THE TRIBE, ONLY ABOUT 300 CAN
STILL SPEAK THEIR NATIVE
LANGUAGE.
FISHING AND ATURE HAVE
BEEN A PART OF WISCONSIN LIFE
SINCE THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICANS
EMERGED HERE.
NOW, SOME OF THE STATE'S MODERN
FARMERS ARE DIVING INTO A
VENTURE AND HOPE TO REEL IN A
NEW SOURCE FOR PROFITS.
"IN WISCONSIN" WISCONSIN
REPORTER ANDY SOTH TAKES A
AT AQUACULTURE NEAR DEERFIELD.
>> THINK WISCONSIN AGRICULTURE
AND YOU'LL PROBABLY ENVISION A
FARM LIKE THIS.
BUT STEP BACK AND YOU'LL SEE
THAT THIS IS ALSO A FARM, A FISH
FARM.
WISCONSIN AQUACULTURE.
>> I THINK WISCONSIN WE COULD
REALLY DO SOME WONDERFUL THINGS
WITH FISH FARMING.
>> DR. MYRON IS THE STATE
AQUACULTURE VETERINARIAN.
HE'S OFTEN ON THE FARM.
TODAY, IT'S A TROUT FARM NEAR
PALMYRA.
>> WE LEAD PRETTY MUCH THE
NATION IN QUALITY FISH.
>> SO START FIRST WITH OUR
INCISION HERE.
>> A QUALITY FISH IS A HEALTHY
FISH.
>> AND WHEN WE OPEN UP THIS
FISH, WE CAN SEE THIS FISH HAS
BEEN FEEDING WELL.
>> DR. KIBBITS WORKS WITH FISH
FARMERS TO OPTIMIZE FISH HEALTH.
>> WE'VE GONE CHEMICAL FREE AND
WITH NO ANTIBIOTICS.
FIVE, TEN YEARS AGO, THAT WAS
IMPORTANT TO SOME.
NOW PEOPLE WANT TO EAT A CLEANER
PRODUCT.
WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE FISH, SEE
WHAT THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS ARE AND TRY TO
CREATE THE ENVIRONMENT THAT
KEEPS THEM HEALTHY.
>> FOR THESE TROUT, THAT MEANS
RACEWAYS, PONDS WITH COOL,
MOVING WATER, LIKE A NATURAL
TROUT STREAM.
SUCCESSFUL FISH FARM ARE MEANS
CAREFUL MONITORING OF FEEDING
AND WATER CONDITIONS.
WISCONSIN'S WATER RESOURCES AND
FARMING TRADITION MAKE IT A GOOD
PLACE FOR AQUACULTURE.
THAT'S WHY THE STATE AG
DEPARTMENT HIRED THIS FISH
DOCTOR.
>> IF YOU LOOK AROUND THE WORLD,
THERE HAVE BEEN TREMENDOUS
DEVELOPMENTS.
WHEN THERE'S A COMING TOGETHER
OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RAISING
THE FISH AND THE SUPPORT OF THE
GOVERNMENT AND THE UNIVERSITIES
TO DO THAT, I THINK IN WISCONSIN
WE'RE BETTER SITUATED TO DO THAT
THAN MANY STATES.
>> THE STATE AG DEPARTMENT, THE
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM AND MANY FISH
FARMERS ARE PARTICULARLY
INTERESTED IN RAISING ONE TYPE
OF FISH.
IT MIGHT BE CALLED THE HOLY
GRAIL OF WISCONSIN AQUACULTURE.
THE YELLOW PERCH.
>> IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION
THERE'S A PHAOUPBLG DEMAND FOR
THIS FISH.
IT'S A GREAT-TASTINGISH,
PARTICULARLY FRIDAY NIGHT FISH
FRIES.
THAT'S WHERE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN
VERY POPULAR.
>> JEFF MALISON DIRECTS THE
PROGRAM AND IS CODIRECTOR OF THE
DEMONSTRATION FACILITY LOCATED
ON THE RED CLIFF RESERVATION.
BUT HE'S HERE AT THE PERCH FARM
HE CO-OWNS.
>> THIS IS SORT OF WHAT I DO ON
THE WEEKENDS WHEN I HAVE EXTRA
VACATION TIME.
>> AND HE GLADLY SHARES WHAT
HE'S LEARNED ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES OF RAISING PERCH WITH
FELLOW FISH FARMERS.
>> I THINK IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
TIME BEFORE WE REALLY SEE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT
INDUSTRY HERE IN WISCONSIN AND
PROBABLY OR POSSIBLY IN O
GREAT LAKES STATES AS WELL.
>> THAT'S BECAUSE THE GREAT
LAKES USED TO BE HOME TO
MILLIONS OF YELLOW PERCH BEFORE
OVERFISHING AND ECOLOGICAL
CHANGE ALL BUT WIPED THEM OUT.
>> WE THOUGHT THE OCEANS WOULD
NEVER STOP PROVIDING FISH AND
THEY'VE BEGUN TO.
WE THOUGHT THE GREAT LAKES NEVER
WOULD, AND THEY HAVE.
>> WHILE THE FISH MAY BE
DISAPPEARING FROM THE LAKES, THE
TASTE FOR THEM REMAINS.
SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS LED TO
SOME UNSCRUPULOUS PRACTICES.
>> WE DO GO TO A LOT OF FRIDAY
NIGHT FISH FRIES.
I'LL BET OUT OF THE LAST 50
RESTAURANTS I'VE GONE TO, I BET
I HAVEN'T HAD YELLOW PERCH IN
TWO OF THEM EVEN THOUGH I'VE
ORDERED YELLOW PERCH.
BASICALLY ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU
GET IS NOT YELLOW PERCH.
>> MEET A FISH CALLED ZANDER.
SOME SEAFOOD DEALERS LABEL IT AS
EUROPEAN PERCH OR WALLEYE AND
SELL IT TO UNSUSPECTING
RESTAURANT OWNERS.
>> IN WISCONSIN WE'RE KNOWN FOR
OUR GREAT FISH FRIES AND WE'RE
ALSO KNOWN FOR IT BEING A
REASONABLE WAY TO TAKE YOUR
FAMILY OUT TO DINNER ON A FRIDAY
NIGHT.
THE RESTAURANT OPERATORS ARE
UNDER A LOT OFSSURE WHEN
THEY HAVE A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE
THAT'S CALLED EUROPEAN CHURCH OR
WALLEYE, IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT
WAY FOR THEM TO SERVE THEIR
CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY WANT.
A LOT OF RESTAURANT OPERATORS DO
NOT REALIZE THEY CANNOT UTILIZE
THAT AND CALL ITCH OR
WALLEYE.
>> THESE ARE WILD-CAUGHT FISH.
THE AREHEY GROW, THERE MIGHT
BE SIGNIFICANTELS OF
POLLUTION IN THESE WATERWAYS.
SO WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT
WE'RE EATING.
IT'S A HUGE PROBLEM.
>> AND A PROBLEM FOR WISCONSIN'S
FISH FARMERS, WHO WANT TO MEET
THE DEMAND WITH TRUE, HOME-GROWN
YELLOW PERCH.
>> THE WISCONSIN AQUACULTURE
ASSOCIATION IS TRYING TO BRING
PERCH FARMERS TOGETHER TO MEET
THE CHALLENGE.
>> IF WE LEAVE IT TO CHANCE, IT
AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
>> AT THIS FIRST EVER YELLOW
PERCH FORUM AT UW-STEVENS POINT,
FISH FARMERS SHARE TECHNICAL
KNOW-HOW AND TALK ABOUT HOW
BETTER TO MARKET THEIR PRODUCT.
>> BEEF INDUSTRY, PORK,
CRANBERRY, THEY'RE ALL
DEVELOPING THEIR OWN IDENTITY,
IF YOU WILL.
WE CERTAINLY TO DEVELOP OUR
IDENTITY.
>> I THINK THE RESTAURANT
OPERATORS IN WISCONSIN WOULD
LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PURCHASE FARM-RAISED PERCH FROM
LOCAL PROVIDERS.
>> SO IT MIGHT BE THAT IN THE
FUTURE A WISCONSIN-GROWN LABEL
WILL MEAN AS MUCH FOR WISCONSIN
AQUACULTURE AS IT HAS FOR
WISCONSIN AGRICULTURE.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT WISCONSIN
CHEESE, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY SET
THE BAR FOR CHEESE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE QUITE AS
BIG AS THE CHEESE INDUSTRY, BUT
QUALITY-WISE, WE'RE RIGHT THERE.
HEY, WE GOT A GOOD THING HERE.
>> IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN FISH
FARMING, THE WISCONSIN
AQUACULTURE ASSOCIATION IS
HOLDING A WORKSHOP FOR BEGINNERS
THIS JUNE IN MENOMONIE.
YOU CAN GET INFORMATION FROM OUR
WEBSITE.
JUST GO TO wpt.org/inwisconsin
WPT.ORG/INWISCONSIN.
WHEN THE FISH FIRST SPAWN OR YOU
SPR FIRST R, THEN YOU
KNOW THE SEASONS ARE CHANGING.
THIS YEAR PERHAPS A EARLIER
THAN USUAL.
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IN THE STUDY OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
"IN WISCONSIN" REPORTER JO
GA JOINS US TO EXPLAIN.
>> YES.
IT'S THE STUDY OF PHENO
THAT'S NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH
PHRENOLOGY.
PHENOLOGY IS SOMETHING
ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT.
>> IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, IT'S
EASY TO FORGET THAT THE NATURAL
WORLD IS ALL ABOUT CHANGE.
>> THAT CALENDAR OF CHANGE IN
THE NATURAL WORLD WHEN A
PARTICULAR POND MELTS, WHEN A
CERTAIN SPECIES OF FOREST FLOWER
FIRST PEEKS OUT IN PLACE, WHEN A
MIGRANT BIRD WINGS BACK THROUGH
OUR STATE, THAT CALENDAR, THAT
CATALOG OF YEAR'S FIRST TIMES IS
A BRANCH OF SCIENCE CALLED
PHENOLOGY.
IT'S CURRENT TO DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE AND AS OLD
AS THE BIBLE.
FOR THOUGH THE WINTER IS PAST,
THE RAIN IS OVER AND GONE, THE
FLOWERS APPEAR ON THE EARTH AND
THE TIME OF THE SINGING OF THE
BIRDS IS COME.
>> KATHY IS A WOMAN WHO SPENDS A
GOOD PART OF HER WORK TIME ON
THE LOOKOUT FOR THESE CHANGES.
>> THIS IS ITS TIME, EARLY TO
MID-APRIL.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT EARLY.
>> MINER IS A NATURALIST ON THE
STAFF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
WISCONSIN ARBORETUM.
THIS TRACT IS AS WILD AS CAN BE
IN THE MIDDLE OF MON.
IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO WATCH
THINGS COME AND GO.
>> AND THIS IS A SPRING
EPHEMERAL.
THESE FLOWERS LIVE OUT THEIR
WHOLE LIFE CYCLE IN ABOUT A
SIX-WEEK PERIOD BETWEEN WHEN THE
GROUND THAWS AND BEFORE THE
TREES LEAF OUT.
PHENOLOGY IS THE ART AND SCIENCE
OF NOTICING THINGS.
AS NEW THINGS APPEAR IN NATURE
OVER THE COURSE OF THE NATURAL
YEAR.
>> THE ARBORETUM HAS A
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT PHENOLOGY
HISTORY.
IT'S A PLACE F BY THIS
MAN, ALDO LEOPOLD, THE WISCONSIN
CONSERVATIONIST WHO
REVOLUTIONIZED CONSERVATION
THROUGH HIS BOOK, A SAND COUNTY
ALMANAC.
HE KEPT COPIOUS NOTES BOTH AT
THE FAMILY SHACK AND HERE IN THE
ARBORETUM.
>> ALDO LEOPOLD AND ONE OF HIS
GRADUATE STUDENTS, MARION JONES,
KEPT TRACK OF DATA H FROM
1935 TO I BELIEVE 1945.
IT WAS AT LEAST A DECADE.
WE HAVE THOSE RECORDS AND WE ARE
TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THEM, TO
KEEP FAITH WITH THEM AND KEEP
MAKING THE SAME OBSERVATIONS AND
SEE HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED
MAYBE HAVEN'T SINCE THEN AND SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE NATURAL
YEAR.
>> IN 1939 THEY FIRST OBSERVED
PUSSY WILLOWS IN POLLEN ON
APRIL 6, BLOODROOT IN BLOOM ON
THE 20TH, CANADA GEESE ON MARCH
21.
THIS LIST OF FIRST TIMES IN A
PLACE CAN REVEAL PAT
LEOPOLD WROTE THIS ABOUT
PHENOLOGY.
A YEAR TO KWRAO*ER RECORD OF YEAR RECORD
ORDER IS A RECORD OF THE RATES
AT WHICH SOLAR ENERGY FLOWS
THROUGH AND TO LIVING THINGS.
THEY ARE THE ARTERIES OF THE
LAND.
BY TRACING THEIR RESPONSES TO
THE SUN, PHENOLOGY MAY
EVENTUALLY SHED SOME LIGHT
THAT ULTIMATE ENIGMA.
>> THESE ARE VIRGINIA BLUEBELLS.
WHEN THEY'RE IN BUD, THEY'RE
PINK.
BUT WHEN THE BUD OPENS, IT IS
SKY BLUE.
THEN IT BECOMES PINK AGAIN.
I JUST READ IN AN ARTICLE BY A
HORTICULTURE EXPERT THAT THE
COLOR PINK AND RED ALMOST
INVISIBLE TO BEES.
THEY SEE IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT
COLOR SPECTRUM THAN WE DO.
THEY SEE BLUE VERY EASILY, SO
THAT FLOWER BEING BLUE RIGHT AT
THAT TIME WHEN IT'S RECEPTIVE TO
THE BEE, IT'S ONE OF THOSE
EXAMPLES OF PERFECT TIMING.
>> AND IF THE TG'S OFF FOR
THE BLUEBELLS FOR THE BEES.
>> THE BLUEBELLS MIGHT OPEN AND
BLOOM A LITTLE TOO EARLIER,
EARLIER THAN THE INSECTS ARE
HERE, AND YOU'D HAVE A GAP
BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE POLLEN
BEING RIPE IN THE FLOWER AND THE
TIME THAT THE AGENT WOULD BE
AROUND TO MOVE IT FROM FLOWER TO
FLOWER.
>> LONG-TERM, VERY STRUCTURED
PHENOLOGY STUDIES ARE A CRITICAL
ELEMENT IN SOME GLOBAL CLIMATE
CHANGE STUDIES.
>> I STARTED KEEPING THIS BOOK
IN 1999.
>> BUT LEOPOLD HIMSELF WROTE
THAT PHENOLOGY IS A VERY
PERSONAL SORT OF SCIENCE.
MINER KEEPS A PERSONAL PHENOLOGY
JOURNAL, WHAT SHE SAW WHEN.
>> SO 2010 STARTED WITH THE
STARLING.
THEN I GO ON TO SANDHILL CRANES.
>> PHENOLOGY EMBRACES NOT JUST
SIGHTS, BUT SOUNDS.
AMERICAN TOADS RAISING A RUCKUS.
KEEPING RECORDS ENHANCES THE
PLEASURE OF THE SEARCH.
>> THIS IS A DEFINITE SIGN OF
SPRING.
WHEN THE OVERWINTERING BUDS HAVE
EXPANDED TO THE POINT WHERE THEY
CREATED PUSSY WILLOWS, SOME
PEOPLE WOULD SAY SPRING IS
THERE.
>> LOOKING FOR SIGNS OF SPRING.
IT'S A TOUR IN THE ARBORETUM LED
BY LEVI.
>> THAT'S ONE OF OUR SPRING
PLANTS COMING UP, JUST THE
LEAVES.
IT WILL BE ANOTHHREE WEEKS
PROBABLY MAYBE MONTHS BEFORE WE
GET THE FLOWERS UP.
SPRING IS COMING.
>> THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THOSE
FIRSTS, EMERGING FLOWERS, A
HUNGRY HAWKS JUST MIGRATED
BACK IN.
>> HE'S AFTER A SNAKE ON THE
GROUND.
>> OH, YEAH.
LOOK AT THE SNAKE.
>> YEAH.
>> WOW.
>> THAT'S ANATURE RED-TAIL
HAWK.
>> ON THE WALK THEY SEE AN
EXAMPLE OF A PREVIOUS PEOPLE'S
TIE TO NATURE, AN INDIAN MOUND
IN THE SHAPE OF A PANTHER.
>> THE MOUND BUILDERS WERE HERE
BETWEEN TO 1200 YEARS AGO.
THEY LEFT MOUNDS ALL OVER THE
AREA OF MADISON.
ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT
THIS MOUND, COME SPRINGTIME,
THIS HAS ONE OF THE BEST AREAS
OF SPRING BEAUTIES.
IF I COMEK HERE MID, END OF
APRIL, I CAN IDENTIFY WHERE IT
IS BY THE FACT THAT THE SOIL IS
DIFFERENT AND IT'S COVERED WITH
SPRING BEAUTIES.
>> WE LIVED OUTDOORS BEFORE WE
LIVED INDOORS.
SOMEWHERE IN OUR MEMORY WE'RE
STILL WANTING TO BE IN TOUCH
WITH THE REST OF NATURE.
>> ALDO LEOPOLD'S DAUGHTER NINA
CONTINUED HER DAD'S STUDY AT THE
SHACK IN SAUK COUNTY.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT WHAT
THAT STUDY REVEALED AND HOW TO
ADD YOUR OBSERVATION TO NATIONAL
PHENOLOGY RESEARCH AT OUR
WEBSITE.
JUST GO TO wpt.org AND SKOEL
WN AND CLICK ON IN WISCONSIN. --
THE ARBORETUM IS CELEBRATING 75
YEARS OF RESEARCH.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, PATTY.
IT'S A MILESTONE.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, THE
ARBORETUM HAS A WORLD CLASS
COLLECTION OF RESTORED
ECOSYSTEMS.
THE ARBORETUM NOW FACES A
QUANDARY IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
SO "INCONSIN" IS TAKING A
CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARBORETUM AT
75.
WATCH FOR "IN WISCONSIN" SAL
ON THE ARBORETUM IN THE MONTHS
AHEAD.
>> INTERESTING REPORT.
THANK YOU, JO GARRETT.
THERE'S NEWEARCH ON THE
IMPACT CLIMATE CHANGE MAY HAVE
ON LOONS IN WISCONSIN.
LOONS GENERALLY NEST ON THE
CLEAR NORTHERN LAKES OF VILAS,
IRON AND ONEIDA COUNT
BUT PRELIMINARY RESEARCH SHOWS
THEY'RE ALSO IN CENTRAL
WISCONSIN RESERVOIRS WHERE THE
WISCONSIN IS NOT AS CLEAR.
THE SCIENCES CENTER IS WORKING
ON A STUDY TO DETERMINE WATER
FLOW A THE LAKES AND THE
IMPACT IT HAS ON OUR LOONS.
RESEARCH RESULTS ARE EXPECTED TO
BE RELEASED BY THE END OF THE
YEAR.
NOW HERE'S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE
REPORTS WE'RE WORKING ON FOR THE
NEXT EDITION OF "IN WISCONSIN."
>> THIS IS "IN WISCONSIN"
REPORTER JO GARRETT.
FROM TEA TIME TOET TIME.
>> THE OWNERS HAD COME TO US AND
SAID THEY WERE INTERESTED IN
PERHAPS SELLING THE PROPERTY.
WE THOUGHT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO
DO WITH A GOLF COURSE.
>> SO HOW DID A L TRUST TURN
A GOLF COURSE INTO A WILDLIFE
EFUGE AND HOW DID THEY GET
FEDERAL STIMULUS DOLLARS TO PAY
FOR IT?
>> I'M LIZ KOERNER.
FOR MOST LOW-INCOME KIDS, THEIR
PARENTS CAN'T AFFORD THIS.
WE'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO A WOMAN
WHO GIVES THEM THE GIFT OF
MUSIC.
>> THEY'RE JUMPING, VAULTING AND
FLIPPING THEIR WAY ACROSS THE
UW-MADISON CAMPUS.
>> YOU JUST SEE THE WORLD AS A
PLAYGROUND.
>> THIS IS "IN WISCONSIN" ANDY
SOTH.
I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT THE UNUSUAL
SUPPORT THAT GETS YOU FROM HERE
TO THERE.
