Community addresses
an issue of their heart
Katherine Danielson, fifth-grade instructor, will retire after 28 years of teaching in Cadott. She wrote in her letter, Although I feel the time is right for me to retire, I will truly miss
being part of this wonderful teaching community. Thank you
for your support throughout the years. I will carry with me
many wonderful memories.
After 37 years as administrative secretary, Linda Stanek
will retire and says thanks to the board of education for supporting her through the years.
Ruthann Proue, guidance counselor, says she enjoyed her
17 years at the Cadott School District, stating “thank you for
the privilege of serving our kids” in her letter of retirement.
Ron Arneson, with 26 years experience, was the final retiree approved, and will leave his maintenance and grounds
position at the end of the year.
After 10 years in special education, Karin Dzienkowski
said because of “life changing events,” she decided to not
renew her contract next year, and stay at home. She said she
will miss her job and that, in the future, she hopes her “application can make it to the top of the pile again.”
Heidi Czyscon’s resignation from the JV volleyball coach
position comes so she can work on her “first priority” – being an effective educator. Sydney Rothbauer resigned as assistant track and field coach Feb. 21, 2016, but Pat Rothbauer, varsity track and field coach, says he will fill the position.
“With the volume of information and knowledge that’s
going to be lost,” said Smith, “I think there’s going to be a

“It’s not asking for more,” said Lake Holcombe School
Board president Corey Grape to the Town of Lake Holcombe, “it’s simply asking for a continuation.”
Grape, along with school board member Joe Stansbury,
district accountant Lisa Spletter and superintendent Jeff
Mastin, visited the Lake Holcombe Town Board regular meeting March 10, to discuss the proposed three-year
$675,000 referendum.
“We did this three years ago, it seemed to be pretty effective as far as getting the information out, that’s all we’re
here to do,” said Grape as to why they were at the meeting.
“It (the referendum) is the same as three years ago. It’s not
additional money, it’s not any increase in money.”
Three years ago the board asked to exceed the revenue
limit by $675,000 dollars each year, for three years. Now,
they are asking for taxpayers to extend that referendum,
since nothing has changed in state funding.
The board says they have already cut as many programs
and costs in the school as they can without it being a detriment to the students, and if nothing happens in Madison,
referendums are here to stay.
“It’s not going to go away,” said Spletter, referencing 50
percent of schools in the area that are looking to taxpayers to
exceed revenue limits. “And if you are watching the news,
it’s not just this area, it’s all over. It’s small schools and large
schools.”
Spletter says mil rates are expected to decrease (currently
at $9.65), looking at trends and factoring in paying off debts.
But, board members say if the referendum doesn’t pass, mil
rates could actually increase, as the school would move toward dissolution rather than consolidation.
“What that means, is that the district would break up,”
says Spletter. “And depending on where your property is,
you could maybe head over toward Bruce ($9.53 mil rate),
you could go to Cornell ($8.94 mil rate), you could go to
Ladysmith ($13.56 mil rate).
“I can’t say that if you are on the north end and you
would join Ladysmith, that you’re going to go from $9.65
to $13.56…but what I can say is that there’s probably a pretty good degree of certainty that you’re going to be paying
something closer to that number ($13.56) than that number
($9.65).”
Jackie McDaniel, Lake Holcombe resident, asked why the
board would move toward dissolution rather than consolidation.
Grape said although schools may be close to each other
in proximity, referencing Cornell and Lake Holcombe, the
students are not.
“You have a lot of kids on the north end that would be
spending a lot of time on a bus, going an hour and a half of
travel,” said Grape. “What those parents would most likely
do, talking to a lot of them, are going to open enroll them to
a school that’s a lot closer.

Fifteen months after Gordy’s moved their liquor department to their gas station across the street, the
convenience store received another facelift as they officially switched to a Mega Holiday Station March
8, with signs installed March 9. Because Gordy’s and Mega Co-op have combined, with Mega taking over
the gas stations and Gordy’s commandeering the grocery stores, the liquor department was moved back
to the grocery store, with a new beer cave under construction to house cold beer. As for the Holiday
already in Cornell, employees say no changes are planned, and patrons can use their Gordy’s or Mega
cards at either Holiday location, as well as at the grocery store.

Cadott School Board
Over 150 years of experience says goodbye
By Kayla Peche
“We have some people who have been here a long time,”
said Cadott School Board president Cedric Boettcher before
approval of resignations and retirements at a March 14 regular board meeting. “They have put their heart and soul in
this school district and have made a huge difference on our
students. We’re going to miss these people.”
The school board approved five retirements, a resignation
from a special education position and two coaching resignations.
“The loss of the veteran staff is going to be huge,” said
Damon Smith, district administrator. “Collectively, the retirees have more than 170 years of experience in the district.
“They have effectively worked with thousands of kids,
and because of them, kids are better off today than they were
before they met them. That’s impressive.”
Jr./Sr. high school prinicipal Matthew McDonough gave
his letter of retirement, saying he decided to retire at the
same time as his wife, Jennifer, at the end of the school
year.
He writes, As I reflect back on my 15 years as the Cadott
junior/senior high school principal, I am reminded of the
many dedicated staff members, administrators, parents,
school board members and community members who I have
worked with to make our school a great place for students to
learn and grow.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to work with the
children of the Cadott community.

OPINION
COURIER SENTINEL
Bringing a little sunshine to a shady line of work
By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
You may have heard
the media talk about
Sunshine Week and wondered what that is. Maybe
they mentioned something about open records
laws and you bypassed that page or channel,
thinking it had nothing to do with you.
Today, I’d like to take a moment of your
time to explain why you, yes you, the one
who doesn’t work in media, local government or anything else you thought had to do
with Sunshine Week, should be glad such a
thing is recognized, and maybe even get involved.
It all started in 2002 when the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors held Sunshine
Sunday, according to sunshineweek.org.
Florida legislators had tried to create exemptions to the state’s public records law,
and after increased public and legislative
awareness, the FSNE estimated “that some
300 exemptions…were defeated.”
After that, more freedom of the press
initiatives began, and in 2005, Sunshine
Week was begun to coincide with James
Madison’s birthday (March 16). (Madison
is credited as writing the First Amendment,
which is commonly known as the one with
“freedom of speech and press.”)
Madison believed government and what
happens there should be open to the public,
so the public knows what the government is
doing. Unfortunately, that freedom has become clouded by overly-legal language and
pages upon pages of documentation.
Take into account the Affordable Care
Act. That act alone is over 11,000 pages,
something USA Today says would be 3-feet
high if printed.
While this may abide by the open government law, is it really tangible to expect

A SOUND PRINCIPLE: Every government official or board that handles
public money should publish at regular intervals an accounting of it, showing where
and how each dollar is spent. We hold this
to be a fundamental principle of democratic government.
COMING EVENTS: If a function raises money, advertising the event is a normal
expense and will be charged at regular advertising rates.
every legislator to read all 11,000 pages,
much less the average American? Although
it may seem a little shady, in reality, the information is there, if you’re willing to read
through it.
Sunshine Week helps keep these things
possible and available to the public, drawing attention to something we easily take for
granted.
Did you miss a town board meeting but
want to know why your taxes are going up?
Thanks to open government laws, you can
request that information.
Couldn’t make it to a city council meeting but are curious as to why there’s a shiny
new piece of equipment sitting at the shop,
when there are still potholes in front of your
house? Thanks to open government laws,
you can find out.
“Though created by journalists, Sunshine
Week is about the public’s right to know
what its government is doing, and why,”
says the movement’s website. “Sunshine
Week seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and give them access to
information that makes their lives better and
their communities stronger.”
Without such an initiative, whatever happened behind closed doors, would remain
behind those doors. There would be no
press, no public input, no reasons given, just
government doing what government does
best – using other people’s money to do
what they want, when they want, how they
want.
At least with the First Amendment, now
there’s accountability.
So why are you supposed to care again?
Because that “other people’s money” is your
money. Everyone pays taxes no matter what
you own, do or buy, and that money goes
back into government, big or local, to be
used how the government sees fit.
Thanks to open government laws, you can
have input as to where that money – your
money – goes. Anything that limits that ability is limiting your rights as an American.
March 13-19 is Sunshine Week and for
the 11th straight year, newspaper and media
outlets across the nation will celebrate their
right to know, and keep the government out
of the shade and into the light.
Isn’t it time you joined us?
Sometimes it’s good to laugh at yourself
By Kayla Peche
Hi, my name is Kayla.
I am clumsy, gullible and
overly sensitive. I have
made my fair share of
mistakes. You could say I
was born this way.
But having a career as a
journalist, I really shouldn’t be any of those
things, right?
A journalist doesn’t trip over their own
feet at a football game while taking photos and almost land in the mud. A reporter
doesn’t get anyone’s name wrong in the paper. A professional doesn’t confuse a historical landmark’s name with the name of a bar
sign.
Oops…I have done all of the above. Does
that make me terrible at my job? No. I am
human, I will make mistakes. The part that
matters is how the mistakes are handled and
how you learn from those faults.
Just this week I had to make two correc-

tions in the paper, in the same issue. Must
have been something in the air. Luckily, no
one was very upset. One person even made a
joke out of the situation.
In our office, we have at least three people
who take a look at everything in the paper.
The Courier Sentinel has an amazing editor
and proofreader, who take their jobs seriously and I couldn’t appreciate them more.
My writing would be a bunch of random
thoughts if it wasn’t for learning at this job.
But one of the things I love most about
working here, where all the facts must be
correct, is no one is afraid to laugh at themselves. I have laughed more at this job than
any of my others combined, and it’s only
been two years.
Whether it’s spelling loins instead of lions, or thinking someone said, eating with
grandma when it was reading with grandma. We are never defeated by the errors.
This is not to say we brush it off. If someone calls with an inaccuracy in the paper, we
make sure to run a correction the following
week with a sincere apology.
Nevertheless, we try to make sure the little
things don’t get to us. We laugh at ourselves,
we laugh at each other and we laugh together.
This is a behavior I am still learning
though, because as I said, I’m overly sensitive.
As an example, my new phone, only three
days old, started not working and I cried
about it. I cried like a child because I was so
frustrated that I had to even deal with it. As
if my plate was so full, I couldn’t handle my
phone breaking down. So foolish.
I am the type of person who doesn’t get
mad about something, I get sad about it. My
friends even made bets that I would cry over
my phone; clearly they were right. My frustrations turn into tears so easily I don’t even
have to think about it.
After telling my parents about the phone
catastrophe, my dad asked, “Why are you
crying? This is not something you need to
cry about.”
My dad was extremely right.
The following day my phone was fixed
and the tears were wasted. Instead of shedding tears over “spilled milk,” I need to
laugh over those “tragic dairy losses.”
Laughing at yourself is something we all
need to be reminded to do. People become
so consumed with their lives, relationships
and careers that little hills seem like big hurdles.
Just because you fall down doesn’t mean
you can’t get back up. If this were true, no
one would have ever learned to walk.
The next time you fumble your words,
take a wrong turn, put the right shoe on the
left – take a step back. Don’t get frustrated
over your mistakes, learn from them, grow
from them.
Learn to laugh at yourself. It is the best
medicine, remember?

Ten Commandments for open meetings
By Brian J. Hunhoff
“I think heroic deeds were all conceived in the open air.”
The quote atop this editorial is from Walt Whitman’s
Song of the Open Road – a cheerful 1856 tribute to freedom
and the great outdoors.
Hopefully, Mr. Whitman would have approved use of his
prose to promote open, well-aired government. It’s unlikely
the great poet favored government secrecy and closed-door
meetings. He also wrote, “Out of the dark confinement, out
from behind the screen!”
For today’s purposes, Whitman’s “screen” represents the
executive session – a self-important term for a classic oxymoron: closed public meeting.
Too many elected boards seek every opportunity to meet
out of sight of the public they serve. Some schedule executive sessions as a regular agenda item. Some hold up
to three executive sessions in a single meeting. Some have
executive sessions that last longer than the open portion of
their meeting.
In most cases, executive sessions do not violate openmeeting laws. The closed-door discussions are often suggested or encouraged by an elected board’s legal counsel.
But legality and necessity are two different things.
Consider the following list our Fourth Estate counsel to
county commissions, city councils, and school boards everywhere on executive sessions and general government
openness. Citizens should hold their elected officials to the
standards below. These are Ten Commandments for Open
Meetings:
One: Do not gather as a quorum outside of regular meetings, and do not hold special meetings without giving at
least 24 hours public notice.
Two: Do not habitually add last-minute items to the
agenda, and do not act on anything not listed on the posted
agenda.
Three: Do not abuse the litigation excuse for executive
sessions to speculate about possible or imagined lawsuits.
Four: Do not stretch the personnel excuse for executive sessions to discuss policy issues. Example: Creating a
new position or changing a department’s job descriptions
are policy decisions and not appropriate topics for a closed
meeting.
Five: Do not dial up the “negotiations” excuse to suddenly exclude the public from discussion of controversial
issues that were previously aired thoroughly in open session.
Six: Do not allow executive session conversations to
stray to other topics.
Seven: Do not violate the spirit of the open-meeting law
with frequent phone, email or text dialogues with other
members. Reach consensus at the meeting.
Eight: Do not make a habit of whispering or passing
notes at meetings. You were elected to speak for us. Tell
what you have to say out loud and proud!
Nine: Allow public input at every meeting. Include it on
every agenda.
Ten: Be as transparent as possible. Do not hold executive
sessions simply because counsel advised it is “legal” to do
so. Ask yourself: “Is it absolutely critical we discuss this
privately?”
That should be the test because legality and necessity are
two different things.
We appreciate our local commissioners and board members. They serve for minimal compensation. They make
tough decisions. They sometimes lose friends and make enemies. Their dedication to community is admirable.
We simply ask elected officials to think twice before
kicking the public out of public meetings.
Strive for fewer. Less is more. A closed meeting should
be a rare occasion, not a habit.
Brian Hunhoff writes for the Yankton County Observer
in Yankton, S.D. His editorials about open government won
the 2015 Freedom of Information award from the National
Newspaper Association.

steep learning curve next year.”
With those coaching staff changes, the board also approved
hiring two high school track and field assistant coaches, Jada
Dalhke and Steven Mengel, and a junior high track and field
co-coach, Greta Schultz.
The board also approved adding a half-time business education teacher for next year. Smith says the district is already
cutting four classes because each instructor has either a full
or overloaded schedule.
“This is a tribute to the CTE (Career Technical Education)
program that we have here,” said Smith.
Because of the large number of interviews needed to take
place to fill staffing positions, Smith suggested a formal hiring process be put in place.
The new approved process will involve the school board
in all hiring decisions.
The entire board will make the decision when hiring superintendents. A committee, with the superintendent, administrative personnel, teaching staff and up to three board
members, will hire administration positions. And a similar
committee, with adminstrative personnel, teacher and staff
representation and only one board member, will recommend
an employee for teaching staff or other employment for hire.
“It is rather unusual to have board members on the hiring
committee,” said Smith, “but it has a long rich history here
and we’ve done a good job of hiring people.”
Traffic deaths increase
from February weekend
From the WisDOT
Last month, 47 people died in Wisconsin traffic crashes.
That’s 22 more than February 2015, and 21 more than the
five-year average for February, according to preliminary statistics from the WisDOT.
So far this year, 79 people have been killed in crashes,
including seven pedestrians and one bicyclist. As of the end
of February, traffic fatalities were 19 more than the same
period last year (nearly a 32 percent increase) and 15 more
than the five-year average.
“Typically, February is a low traffic fatality month,” says David Pabst,
director of the WisDOT Bureau of
Transportation Safety. “However, we
had an unusually deadly weekend that
accounted for nearly 24 percent of the
fatalities for the month.
The deadliest weekend on Wisconsin roads since August 2015 was Feb.
19-21, when crashes killed 11 people.
Three of the crashes had multiple fatalities, including a triple-fatality crash in
Columbia County.
“To reverse this tragic increase in
2016, and make progress toward zero
preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin,
we need motorists to buckle up, slow
down, pay attention and drive sober,”
said Pabst.

Lake Holcombe School superintendent Jeff Mastin
addresses the Lake Holcombe Town Board on why
the school is requesting another three-year referendum, saying operational costs are increasing,
but state funding is not. “This is how Wisconsin
funds school now,” he said at the March 10 town
board meeting.

“In such a rural district, it’s so hard to make [consolidation] easy.”
He says even if the school wanted a consolidation, neighboring districts couldn’t handle a surplus of 300 students at
one time.
“This way, if we dissolve, you’ve got 30, 40, 50 kids going to that school,” said Grape. “They can handle that easier
than a consolidation.”
Bruce Jones, town roadman, asked what would happen to
the actual school if the referendum failed. Grape said since
no district in the state has ever dissolved, there are too many
unknowns and they are unsure what would happen to the
building.
Mastin also referenced missed opportunities for students
if the district dissolved. He said space on sports teams remain the same, leaving more athletes unable to play. And, in
the academic realm, he says it could mean missed scholarships.
Each year the state awards each valedictorian and salutatorian with a scholarship. For four year schools, $6,000
is given each year ($24,000), and technical college students
receive $2,500 per year ($10,000).
“Our kids would actually go someplace else, but they
wouldn’t be eligible because in the State of Wisconsin you
have to be in that school for two years before you can get
that scholarship,” said Mastin. “So do they change the law
on that? Do they waive it?”
Mastin said it creates a dilemma for students already at
a school, and changing the rules may make a student lose a
scholarship because another student was consolidated into
the school.
“You’re causing a riff between people before they even
get together in the same building,” said Mastin.
The school board held several informational meetings
around the district to inform the public of the upcoming
election (April 5), including one at the school March 15.
(More information on the referendum from that meeting will
be in next week’s issue.)
“I guess I’d like to add, I feel that the school is the heart
of the community,” said town board supervisor David Staudacher.
“It’s a lighthouse,” said Grape.
“All your businesses would leave,” said town treasurer
Tracy Geist, who also works at Dairyland State Bank. “We
wouldn’t be able to operate without a school here.”

Sign-up for Cadott swim lessons
Registration for Cadott Schools YMCA
summer swimming lessons will take place at
the Cadott High School commons Wednesday, March 30, from 6:15-8:15 p.m.
“We’ve been doing this since the early
’80s,” said Jerry Rykal. “The program has
been well received by parents and we’ve been
averaging 150 kids the past three years.”
Six sessions of the free swimming lessons
run from June 29 through Aug. 7, with two
time slots to choose from. Students must be
at least 6 years old to sign up.
Transportation to and from the Chippewa
Falls YMCA is included, with pick-up and
drop-off at the Cadott Elementary School.
Forms will be sent home with all elementary students, and will be available at registration time.
Pipeline operators sponsor first
responder training in Holcombe
Local pipeline and gas distribution companies have scheduled pipeline safety and awareness programs around the state. Wednesday, March 30, Paradise Shores in Holcombe will
host one of these clinics.
The event includes a complimentary meal, as well as an incident exercise and discussion
for first responders in the community.
“Quality first responder training is essential in establishing the communication network
needed to effectively manage an emergency situation,” says a press release from the Wisconsin pipeline awareness website. “In an attempt to enhance these communications, local
pipline operators and gas distribution companies are providing first responder training at no
cost.”
The meetings are scheduled to last about an hour and a
half, and will address leak recognition and response, product
hazards and characteristics, safety initiatives, pipeline purIn New Business, the upcoming Cultural Arts Festival that pose and reliability, and defining high consequence areas.

held at the Cadott High School was discussed. The club is

After the meeting, members and parents participated in
the annual Box Lunch Auction, with Quentin and Saige
Sikora serving as auctioneers.
Katherine had the best entry with her pork-themed lunch
in a container made to look like a “cute little hog.” Her lunch
included hot ham and cheese sandwiches, pink cookies and
pink strawberry cottage cheese salad, all washed down with
a drink of “hog wash.”
Once the auction was complete, members and parents took
part in further camaraderie as they ate the lunches together.

Pastor’s Corner
By Pastor Mark Williams
Faith Baptist Church • Cornell
This coming Sunday is Palm Sunday, commemorating
the day when Jesus rode into Jerusalem prior to the Jews
Passover observance.
The crowds who traveled to Jerusalem that morning,
and those who had already gathered in the city, cryed out
“Hosanna” (meaning, Lord Save!) as Jesus made His entrance. They thought they had found their Messiah – that
is, one who would save their nation from the tyranny of
Roman rule.
Isn’t this what every human is looking for? Don’t we all
hope for a better nation and a better life? Isn’t this what
motivates us to vote for our perceived “messiahs” at the
polls?
We’re always looking for the next “savior” who will rescue our land and make it a better place to live.
I’m not suggesting that we shouldn’t vote responsibly
for the good of our nation, but we need to remember that
what is happening here in this present-day world is quickly
disappearing like a vapor (James 4:14).
Our hope for time and eternity is to be with the Eternal
One, the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all authority has been
given in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18). Unfortunately, the human race has lived a traitorous life before the
Sovereign of the universe.
We deserve judgment for this rebellion, but Jesus came
to die on the cross as the substitute for sinners. Now, rebels and traitors can be reconciled to God through faith in
Christ’s work on the cross (2 Corinthians 5:18-21).
Have you been reconciled to God?

– Holcombe Happenings –
By Janice Craig • 715-595-4380
The Holcombe seniors met Wednesday at the Holcombe
United Methodist Church. The count was down because of
sickness and snowbirds.
The ham dinner at Holcombe United Methodist Church
Sunday was well attended and delicious as usual.
Much of Lake Holcombe is open so I guess ice fishing
is mostly over. This has been an unusual year for temperatures. The maple syrup production started about two to three
weeks early and hasn’t been very productive yet, but there
is still hope for a freeze at night followed by a warm day to
bring out the sap.
Robert John Kolpien
Robert John Kolpien, 40,
Cadott, passed away Tuesday,
March 8, 2016, at his home.
Robert was born Feb. 23,
1976, the son of James Edward
and Linda Louise (Drehmel)
Kolpien in Chippewa Falls.
He grew up in the Cadott
area and attended Cadott High
School.
He worked as a laborer for
Northern Clearing before an
accident when he became
handicapped.
Robert married Donita Gillett at Big Drywood Lutheran
Church July 23, 1994. They lived in the Cadott area where
they raised their two sons, Mavrick and Wyatt.
He enjoyed spending time with family, hunting and watching comedy movies.
He is survived by his sons, Mavrick Kolpien and Wyatt
(Mariha Wagner) Kolpien; father, James Kolpien; stepmother, Carol Kolpien; brother, Kevin (Char) Kolpien; sisters,
Tina (Brian Tresselt) Kolpien and Lisa (Kolpien) Head; and
many nieces; nephews; aunts; uncles; and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal
grandparents; mother, Linda Kolpien; and wife, Donita Kolpien.
Services were held at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 12, at Leiser
Funeral Home in Cadott, with the Rev. Raymond Bell officiating. Interment was in Brooklawn Cemetery in Cadott.
Visitation was Saturday, from 11 a.m. until the time of services at the funeral home.

The Cadott Lions Club hosted a senior social BINGO event at Rick’s Halfway in Cadott March 13.
Snacks, refreshments and prizes were available,
along with a door prize. Lion Donna Rykal said
they normally try to hold this event four times a
year, but have only been able to schedule it twice
this year. The next senior social BINGO is planned
for Sunday, April 10, at Halfway, starting at 1 p.m.

Cadott Library Board
Family game day and reptile show coming to library
By Heather Dekan
In the midst of Cadott School District’s spring break, the
Cadott Public Library has something for families who are
still at home. The library will host a family game day Monday, March 28, from 12-4 p.m. at the library.
“We’ll have lots of board games set up throughout the
library,” said Paula Stanton, Cadott library director, at a
regular board meeting March 14. “It’s a day when there is
no school so hopefully it will give families something fun to
2209
do.”
If games aren’t your thing, there will also be a reptile
show Friday, April 1, at 4 p.m., presented by Snake Discovery.
“There will be a 45-minute presentation on different
reptiles and amphibians,” said Stanton. “They will also be
feeding one of the animals and kids will be able to interact
with them after the show.”
On her director’s report, Stanton talked of two grants the
library has received – one from WECCP and the other from
the National Science Foundation.
“We got a $400 Wisconsin Early Childhood Collaborating
Partners (WECCP) grant for library partnerships with 4K
classrooms,” said Stanton. “We partnered with the Cadott
4K classrooms and bought some extra supplies for storytime so everyone has their own and doesn’t have to share.”
The other grant, from the National Science Foundation,
is a five-year $3,500 grant to encourage adult programming
that focuses on science. The program will include three areas – a book club aspect, a movie aspect and a guest from
the science field.
“I will receive training this year on how to run the programs,” said Stanton. “The second year we’ll have a predesigned four-part program and the following year will be a
program I will design for our community.”

has purchased a 2016 Polaris Ranger UTV.
The UTV cost the department $13,000 up
front, with about $2,500 in extra add-ons,
such as decals, red lights, wiring, spotlights
and a rescue basket.
“When we got it, the guys spent about
three nights wiring, putting red lights on it,
spotlights on the back,” said Denny Klass,
fire chief. “Then it was sent down and put
decals on it.”
Klass says everything was done locally or
by members of the fire department, with decals coming from Ron’s Designs in Cadott
and metal work for the basket machined at
Custom Machine Products in Cornell.
“They built a rack for us over there for
transporting people off the ice, out of the
woods,” said Klass. “The rack was built so
we could put a stokes basket in it. It’s kind
of like a stretcher but it’s something for outdoors that’s a little stronger, easier and more
stable.”
The rack is removable, so the UTV can be
used for wildland or grassland fires. A new
rack is in the process of being built, which
will house pack cans – backpack-like cans of
water for fire suppression – as well as a reel
hose for a water tank in the back.
“It’s kind of a multi-purpose machine for
us,” says Klass, mentioning that it will be
transported in the rescue trailer. “It’s something we’ve talked about for the last five, six
years to purchase, it was just a matter of getting enough money so we didn’t break our
account.”
Getting the UTV wasn’t a split-second
decision, and Klass says a committee was
formed to research other departments that
had similar equipment. After visiting several
around the area and gathering information,
the committee (with input from the rest of
the department) compiled what they wanted
their UTV to do.
“In the last year and a half we really got
serious about it,” says Klass. “It’s not really
replacing anything, we still have the fourwheeler…but with the new one we can have
two EMTs ride in the back seat and monitor
the patient, and work on them. The way it’s
set up they will be talking to them face-toface. That’s kind of a nice deal.
“I’m really proud of what we did.”
Along with the new UTV, the department also purchased an electric hose tester
($2,174), which will be used to test all of the
fire hose annually. Klass says the new tester
will be a “better outfit,” leaving all trucks
(what was previously used) available in case
there is a call. The tester can have four hoses
hooked to it using just a hydrant.
A new four-gas detector ($1,105) was also
purchased, which monitors oxygen, carbon
monoxide, methane (sewer gas) and hydrogen sulfide. Klass says they’ve had two of
these in the past, but both are no longer usable.
“I just want to let everyone know what a
great organization we have here,” said Klass
of the department, “how good they work together. It’s really a brotherhood down here.
You hear that all the time but it really is a
brotherhood.”

at Lake Holcombe with a presentation on life lessons for
parents and their children. Olson used magic to supplement his message, wowing kids with his ability to pull such
a large amount of ribbon out of his mouth, and sticking
pencils through bags of water (and taking them back out)
without losing any liquid (inset). Andrea Smith, event coordinator, said they had a “great turnout” for the event and
received some “awesome compliments.”

You may have heard there’s a new face in Cornell called Prevea Health. What you
might not have heard is that Prevea has time-honored ties to two of our community’s
biggest pillars: HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s hospitals. Together, they’re
making our health care stronger and better. And many local doctors are also now
part of Prevea, so you have faces you know, providing the best care close to home.

live raffles and gun boards, while other prizes were won from silent and live
auctions. Brooke Gilbertson (right), along with her sister, Nikki, dad, Paul, and
mom, Julie, helped display raffle items and sell tickets, paddles and cards to
those who wanted to try their odds for items like benches, guns and even a
crossbow. Julie also added to the items up for auction, making floral arrangements (below) to help draw in funds to support the NWTF and their efforts toward habitat and hunt conservation. Local chapters can also make Superfund

Dan Baumann, secretary’s director at the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR), says for some, the DNR seems
like a symbol of a wall that can’t be penetrated, but he said
they’ve worked hard through the years to be more engaging
for the public.
“There’s a great team of folks in the Chippewa Valley to
help work through issues,” said Baumann at a March 9 Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation roundtable discussion. “I think we’ve made a lot of progress.”
The discussion was held for business leaders and officials
throughout Chippewa County to ask questions and present
their issues to the DNR.
Baumann said the department is going through a re-alignment because, just as other organizations, the staff has limited funding.
“You can’t produce the same product with that,” he said.
“So we had to figure out, how do you become more efficient
with the resources you do
have?”
Baumann said the DNR’s

tration levels for the “great balance” to take place.
“We want dischargers not polluters,” said Baumann. “We
don’t make the laws, that’s not our job. That’s your job
working with your legislator, your governor. We just write
the rules to put in to place.”
Baumann says the DNR is shifting responsibilities within
the department, allowing representatives to focus on the real
issues. One shift is allowing a permittee wastewater draft
permit, which facilities draft themselves. The facility, group
or individual fills out a permit application, prepares the draft
permit, provides public notice, then the draft is sent to the
DNR for review.
During the draft stage, the facility considers factors such
as biomonitoring concerns and what toxins should be monitored. In this process, a meeting may be held between DNR
staff and the permittee to review the requirements of the proposed permit.
“The laws and standards don’t change, but [companies]
use their expertise to format and fill their own forms,” he
said. “We still have to review it.”
There was some coverage in the media about the draft
permit, saying polluters write their own rules, but Baumann
assures this is just changing the role of the DNR.
“Instead of writing in a cubicle, we offered it to the facility,” he said. “That means that our time is to help on the front
end.”
Since Sec. Cathy Stepp’s appointment to the DNR in 2011,
Baumann said she divides the department into roundtable
discussions, to talk about the issues and ways to improve.
“We talk about what we are missing,” he said. “We’re
staying on top of what’s happening out there.”
The department has sectors for different functions, such
as business and conservation. Baumann says they are working on strategic analysis and once completed, the department
will provide the information to legislators for decision making.
Dan Baumann, secretary’s director at the DNR,
took the place of Sec. Cathy Stepp during a March
9 Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation rountable discussion, and spoke on how
the department is changing their role in conservation.

It’s a Girl’s Hunting

Since the snow is basically gone around the area, it’s time
to wrap up the last of the coyote season stories. How fitting
that it also includes the last day I made it out this year.
Chase and I had packed our bags and gotten up early to
head to the fields with Dad (Scott). We had gotten into somewhat of a routine, and getting to nap in the truck helped lessen the blow of getting a broken six hours of sleep each night.
The day started slow, and gradually moved to a sloth-like
pace. The dogs were in the woods, but couldn’t seem to find
a track to follow to save their life.
Up and down the river they went – for hours. I woke up to
Scott telling me he was going to walk our pup, Yoshi, into the
chase. Along with that, he said he also hoped they were on
something and he could maybe get a shot at the coyote.
Normally, I would have gone with him, but it was a chilly
day and I didn’t know how long it would take. So Chase and
I held down the truck at the back of the field. We ate some
applesauce and before long, fell back into dreamland.
I woke up about an hour later, panicked that I hadn’t heard
anything from Scott. Had he been trying to call me on the
radio? Did his batteries die on the GPS? Where was he?
Grace, another dog of ours, had been in the woods and I
could track her DC-50 collar. Yoshi had on an Alpha-only
collar, which meant my Garmin 320 couldn’t track him. Scott
had, of course, taken the Alpha GPS with him.
Scott finally radioed and said he was still in the woods, and
wanted to know if I could call Grace back to the truck. She
had split from the group and was making circles with another
hunter’s young pup. I found Grace on the small screen and
discovered her location was about 600 yards off the corner.
Not the corner of the field, but the corner of the road, about
half a mile away from the field.
“Sure,” I responded on the radio.
I packed Chase into his carseat, kicked the truck into fourwheel-squeal, and bounced out of the field and onto blacktop.
Calling Grace out from 600-plus yards wasn’t something I
thought I could do, but I was going to try.
“Grace!” I yelled when we got to the corner. “C’mon
Gracey girl! C’mon! C’mon!”
Chase and I checked the GPS (picture) and by golly, she
was headed my direction. I called for a few more minutes,
and the brush ahead of me rustled. Out popped a white and
brown head with a tongue to the ground.
“Good girl!” I said, petting and telling her what a good job
she had done.
It may not seem like a big deal, but Grace is one of the shyest dogs I’ve ever known. For her to come out at 600 or more
yards, and walk right to me, was huge progress.
Scott was waiting at the back of the field when I returned,
and we decided to call it a day. We picked up a pizza at the
local gas station and headed for home. I may have only seen
one coyote this year, but that was one more than last year.
And with a little boy who should be walking by next season, maybe we’ll make it into the woods next winter and see
two coyotes.

– DNR Outdoor Report –
Warm weather has melted most of the snow cover, with
some still covering forested areas of the northwoods. Snowmobile and cross-country ski trails are closed statewide.
State park and forest trails are open to hiking, but most
properties report rail-trail, mountain bike and horse trails are
closed.
Inland game fish season is closed except on waters open to
game fishing year-round. Only a few panfish anglers venture
out, with ice conditions rapidly deteriorating.
Raccoon, skunk, muskrat, mink and opossum activity has
increased and turkeys are strutting. Observers report seeing
leopard frogs, and spring peepers have been heard in the
south. Salamanders are also active. Unfortunately, ticks have
also been spotted crawling.
Maple syrup season has gotten off to a slow start, with
concern that trees will bud out too soon.
Heavy waterfowl migration is occurring across the state,
including common goldeneyes, mergansers, green-winged
teal, pintail and wood ducks. Greater white-fronted geese are
moving through, as well as flocks of Canada geese and cack-
ling, snow and Ross geese. Northern water bodies remain
frozen, but ducks and trumpeter swans have been found.
Early migrants returning are killdeer, red-winged and
rusty blackbirds, flickers, bluebirds, meadowlarks, American woodcock, grackles, great blue herons, song sparrows,
sandhill cranes and Eastern phoebes.
Overheard, raptors on the move include bald and golden
eagles, red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks, northern harriers, turkey vultures and American kestrels. Northern sawwhet owls have begun hooting in woodlands, while barred
owls enter nest mode statewide. Great horned owls are on
eggs and some have chicks.
Other species initiating breeding activity include great
blue herons building at rookeries, bald eagles incubating
eggs, sandhill cranes and American woodcock performing
courtship displays, and peregrine falcons returning to nest
sites.
Winter isn’t done yet as winter visitors such as snowy
owls, common redpolls, northern shrikes, short-eared owls
and rough legged hawks remain.

Rabbits, Coyotes, Thorns and Sheds
Hello friends,
Up until about four years ago, each winter I would load
up whatever golden retrievers I had at the time (Star, Pearl
or Ice) and head south to Green County. Over the years,
I took all three of my stepsons, and sometimes my nephews.
On these annual getaways I hunted rabbits, sometimes
pheasants and even coyote. Over the years, I witnessed
some truly incredible pheasant hunting, killed a coyote
that I called to within 10 feet of where I was hiding, and
between the pups, the boys and myself, harvested dozens
of rabbits.
Saturday, Feb. 27 • High 56, Low 35
I have friends who have farms north of Monroe. One
farm, where Vick and Rita Benkert live, is made up of
woodlots, old style fencelines (20-yards wide and totally
overgrown) and a creek. Much of the land is in its last year
in the Conservation Reserve Program.
Vick and Rita are longtime family friends, are a lot of
fun (I stay in Vick’s “mancave”), are super hard workers
and, just as importantly, have lots of rabbits on their property.
My other friend, Dave Geiger, is related to the Benkerts
by marriage. His family is in the cat business and Dave
lives on a 300-acre farm that is also teaming with wildlife.
But, it has gone through some distinct changes because of
the loss of CRP acreage and overgrown fence lines which
wildlife thrive in.
At a time when “last ice” ice fishing should just start,
the ice is vanishing and I am wearing a T-shirt as I head
south for two days of bunny whackin, coyote smackin and
filling the bed of my truck bed up with shed antlers.
I arrived at the Benkerts and no one appeared to be
home. I loaded up a daypack and slung on a loaded 30.06.
(I really need a better coyote rifle but my income sucks
and I carry a 12-gauge loaded with 4-shot).
First observation – every type of thorn invented by God
is on this farm. They are constantly grabbing and tearing cloth and flesh; and making, seeing and swinging on
a running rabbit is as realistic as the Brewers winning the
2016 World Series.
After some serious sweating and feelings of hopeless-

ness, I worked the wind
and did a coyote setup
by using my dying rabbit mouth call. No luck
on that but the rest was
nice.
As far as my rabbit

can say is that she does
not have a ton of experience (as in none) hunting rabbits. But she is

at finding and fetching.
I realized I still had my swing when I was in some crazy
thick, thorny brush and my hands were bleeding like a
slaughtered pig. I still had my swing when a cottontail
took off for the hills and I made meat with one shot.
When I was a kid growing up and hunting rabbits in
Columbia County, I was very good at harvesting rabbits,
almost always coming home with my limit. When Fire
fetched rabbit number one to me, some of those hunts
from over 40 years ago came flooding back to me.
I made it back to the “mancave” at dark and had two
bunnies in my game pouch. Once again I realized that
walking in this country with a bit of a load through dense
brush is a killer on the flesh and energy level.
I butchered my rabbits on my last coyote setup and the
next morning, that is where I was at at daylight. Coyotes
were too smart for me and had eaten every bit of the rabbit
intestines and heads I had left for them.
I hunted at the Benkerts until noon (I did take a snooze
on a grassy knoll), harvested two more cottontails then
headed to Dave Geiger’s family farm.
By now, Fire knew how to play the game we were playing and it did not include successfully finding any sheds
or calling in any coyotes. As I said earlier, the Geiger farm
has changed as far as the lay of the land goes, and as much
as I wanted to harvest a third rabbit for the day, we did not
see one.
As I write this, my sled-pulling, backpack-carrying,
duck-fetching and rabbit-chasing golden retriever Fire is
coming into heat. If I choose to have her bred, it will be
the last time. I will keep a pup and some people have casually mentioned they want one. (I may have misplaced that
list.)
I needed this hunt and want to thank the Benkerts and
the Geigers for once again letting me explore their properties.

Educational system has nowhere to go but up
By Ginna Young
How can we get more funding for rural schools? How do
we solve the teacher shortage? How can we attract teachers
when their retirement is threatened?
Those were some of the questions asked at an annual legislative forum at the Medford High School March 7. State
senators, assembly representatives, school administrators,
teachers and students joined in the panel-style forum to express their views and concerns about the education system.
The forum was previously held as what Pat Sullivan,
Medford district administrator, called a “grill session.”
“On suggestions of elected officials, we changed the format, and turned it around as an opportunity to tell them how
schools feel about issues and how it affects the area,” said
Sullivan.
Topics discussed included how school districts vary, and
that each needs to have a plan in place that benefits them.
“Trying to come up with a one-size-fits-all fix is very,
very difficult,” said John Gaier, Neillsville district administrator. “Our new segregation is educational funding. That’s
separating school districts from what they can offer, and
creating a have and have not society in the state of Wisconsin.”
Sen. Janet Bewley, 25th Senate District, says she feels
eliminating voucher schools could be a way to help out the
funding crisis.
“We are done,” said Bewley. “We cannot continue to fund
voucher schools if we want to have an equitable funding
formula that is going to be sustainable in this state. Then
we won’t need to make all these fast and furious…fixes and
patches by this bill or that bill. We need to start off with a
budget that has a policy in the money that is going to make
education possible for our kids.”
Gaier said the government and taxpayers need to start
looking at school funding as an investment, and ask themselves if the school is an investment they want to make.
“Rural schools are being hit the hardest,” he said. “We
have the highest transportation budgets in the state. So
that’s money we have to spend, just to get kids to school.”
Sen. Jerry Petrowski, 29th Senate District, said that’s
where sparsity and transportation aid comes in for rural
schools.
“Is it enough to make up that difference for schools that
are struggling with declining enrollment and all those other things?” asked Petrowski. “And if it isn’t enough, how
much of an increase should it be?
While sparsity aid could be the answer for some school
districts, Rep. Mary Czaja, 25th Assembly District, said it
Sen. Janet Bewley, 25th Senate District, explains
how she thinks funding problems can be resolved,
during a legislative panel in the Medford High
School. Area school districts sent representatives
to discuss educational issues and give input at
the meeting. Bewley, along with her fellow senators and representatives, encouraged educators to
contact their local government at any time.
would take $88 million to make sparsity aid level in the
state districts, with much of it going to bigger cities who
rely on public transit.
“Sparsity aid isn’t going to sparse school districts, it’s going to some sparse school districts that are below a certain
number and that’s problematic,” said Gaier.
Petrowski suggested it might be possible to establish a
graduated scale if a school is under a certain number of kids
per square mile.
“Have a corresponding extra factor in there that would
bring in more revenue to that school, rather than just the
one-size-fits-all, because that doesn’t work either,” said
Petrowski.
“I think you’re absolutely right,” said Gaier. “And that’s
the kind of thinking that has to take place. We have to get
beyond thinking there are simple fixes to this and look at the
diversity that’s out there.”
Rep. James Edming, 87th Assembly District, said the Gilman and Winter School Districts are in the same boat with
transportation problems and have to go a “kazillion” miles
to bring kids into school each day because of the spread out
population.
Czaja said consolidation for rural schools is becoming a
reality, even though it’s a hard decision for most people.
“We cannot put the amount of money into bricks and
mortar that we’re doing in this state,” she said. “We have to
put it in the classroom and that’s the difference. That would
solve where money’s going – that we could increase the
amount of money per student.”
In addition to transportation issues, rural school districts
also face teacher shortages because of smaller salary caps
and remote locations.
“We’re going to need your help to encourage our best
and brightest to move into the education field,” said Steve
Kolden, Colby School District superintendent, to the representative panel. “Fewer and fewer people are going into
education.”
Kolden said what’s happening now, is that rural school
districts hire “great” kids out of college, train them two or
three years, then lose them to a larger district.
“We really need some innovative and creative ways of
getting some of our best kids…to commit to education,”
said Kolden.
Gilman School District administrator Georgia Kraus
agreed with Kolden’s assessment, saying rural schools used
to see 25 applicants applying for open positions, but now
that number has dropped to five the last several years.
“We’re seeing a decrease in the quality of candidates, in
that we’re getting less and less experienced candidates,”
said Kraus. “We’re doing a lot of different things as district
administrators to try and recruit, and retain, new teachers.
We are changing how we offer positions…it’s causing some
instability in our districts.”
Petrewski asked the Colby and Gilman administrators
how much harder it is to get teachers to come to small, rural
schools, and keep them there longer than just a few years.
Kolden said young educators starting out look for bigger
towns and social peers.
“What we really hope for is that they find someone, fall in
love and marry a farmer,” said Kolden with a laugh. “Having a positive community culture does help.”
Kolden also suggested representatives think about
broaching the subject of loan forgiveness and helping teachers pay off their student loans with incentives.
Petrewski asked how long a commitment schools should
ask for with loan forgivement.
Kolden said instead of a commitment term, perhaps a percent of the loan could be forgiven each year. “That allows
us time to develop and build a relationship,” he said.
Kraus said the state needs to stabilize funding so schools
don’t have to go to referendum, which would attract people
who want to put down roots.
“Teachers lead by example and teachers have been nothing but brilliant – heroes in my mind,” said Bewley. “Each
and every student deserves a quality education…and we
need to figure out how to do that.
“We have to fund schools on the front. Because if we
dabble with fixes on the end, it won’t work. It looks like a
Pat Sullivan, Medford School District administrator,
and Jenny Shipman, Medford educator, express
concern over proposed changes to the Wisconsin
Retirement System at a legislative forum March 7.
Local administrators and educators gathered at
the Medford High School to discuss educational
issues with state senators and representatives,
something Sullivan says they want to keep going
as an annual event.
long, long haul, but I think we can do it quickly. It’s only up
from here.”
“It’s not always just about income,” said Czaja. “It’s
about where am I going to live? I agree, it’s going to pick
up and move forward.”
Retirement, a topic brought up by Medford educator Jenny Shipman, was also discussed. Shipman said politicians
have talked about cutting the Wisconsin Retirement System
(WRS) by 50 percent to keep it solvent. She says educators
already pay into it, and that Gov. Scott Walker has said the
Wisconsin pension is the only one in the country that is 100
percent funded.
“It’s already functioning very well, what would be the
purpose in changing it?” asked Shipman. “You tell people
they have to work an additional three years…it will further
discourage young people from going into education.”
The representative panel said although changing the
WRS has been on the table, it doesn’t mean it will pass.
“People introduce bills that play well in their district, but
not all of us agree with it,” said Czaja.
Students were also able to weigh-in at the forum, bringing their thoughts on the naturalization civics test now required to pass high school. Although the bill has already
been passed and implemented, Medford students gave feedback on what they think of the test.
“I’d feel a sense of hypocrisy if our children weren’t required and tested on the information on the exam,” said
sophomore Brecca Miller. “It is essential to know how our
country works and why it works the way it does. With four
years to pass, it’s a small hurdle on the track to graduation.”
While Miller voiced her beliefs that there is “no sufficient
reason not to take this test,” sophomore Rachel Lundy gave
representatives an opposite view.
“I don’t think it’s valuable,” said Lundy. “I’m not against
learning about government, but a memorization test doesn’t
help understand what it means.”
Lundy proposed requiring students to take government
civics classes, and to encourage active and involved rolls in
government.
“Some of the seniors this year will be 18 and can vote in
the presidential election,” Lundy said. “These students did
not have to prove themselves by taking the naturalization
test. If they would have passed this test, would that have
made them more ready to vote? I don’t believe so.”
Edming thanked the student panel for coming before the
representatives and said 10-15 years down the road, the students would have families of their own. Edming said when
one of their kids asked what the stripes on the flag meant,
they’ll have an answer, thanks to the test.
“And it will give you the ability…an idea of what it
means,” he said of why the bill was passed.
At the close of the forum, senators and representatives
encouraged administrators and educators to voice their
thoughts on how to continually improve the educational
system.
“We have nowhere to go with education in this state but
up,” says Bewley. “We have to think positively. We’ve got
to make sure that Wisconsin invests in education again and
that we go back to that.”

Students ‘Boogie’ their way
through class assignments
By Ginna Young
Messy chalk and noisy blackboards are a thing of the past
for some elementary students at Lake Holcombe School,
thanks to new electronic slate boards. The devices, called
Boogie Boards, allow students to practice writing, math and
drawing during class assignments.
“I originally saw the Boogie Boards at the Mall of America and played around with them,” said Kent Dorney, third
grade teacher. “I thought these would be a perfect addition to
a classroom.”
After he applied for and received a grant from Northwestern Bank, along with funds from his classroom budget, Dorney purchased 18 Boogie Boards for utilization in math, as
well as after school programs. Dorney said other teachers
have also requested the use of the electronics during guided
reading and Daily 5 time for small group work.
Running on an internal 3V battery, Boogie Boards sport a
black-faced 8 1/2 inch LCD writing surface. Weighing less
than half a pound, the thin, streamlined device can be erased
multiple times, helping to cut classroom costs on dry erase
boards, markers and notebooks.
“These boards have already saved myself and the school a
lot on school supplies that I would have purchased through
my classroom budget,” said Dorney.
Since receiving the boards about a month ago, Dorney
says the technology has “worked wonders” in his classes and
gotten students more engaged in learning.
“They are excited to begin writing, practicing their spelling words, work on multiplication facts, draw geometric
shapes and take notes for assignments,” said Dorney. “This
is all possible because of these boards. I would encourage
other teachers to research and learn more about Boogie
Boards; if someone has one, ask to try it out.”
In honor of Read Across America Day
(Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March 2), Jeff Mastin, Lake Holcombe superintendent,
read to the school’s first graders. Firstgrade teacher Jane Ash says the gesture
“shows that reading is important and fun
for everyone, no matter what your age
or job.” Mastin read I Can Read With My
Eyes Shut and I Wish I Had Duck Feet.

Lake Holcombe Town Board
Finding nothing for $496, but gaining merchandise
By Monique Westaby
The mystery of the basement safe has been solved.
After last month’s discussion on finding paperwork regarding property lines, the Lake Holcombe Town Board
agreed to hire a company to open the locked safe and file
cabinet in the town hall basement. After $496 to get them
open, the board finally got a glimpse at what was inside –
nothing.
“Neither one of them had anything in them,” said town
chairman Beau Bowlin. “All them drawers opened and
thought we were going to find something in them and nothing.”
Supervisor Brian Guthman said they did get the combination for the late-1880s safe, so now the board could sell it if
they wanted.
“It sits down there, it’s not doing anything,” said Bowlin.
“It’s been sitting there for who knows how long, and someday somebody else will come along and say, ‘We don’t know
how to open this safe,’ and we’ll hire somebody else to come
and do it again.
“I think we could sell the big safe and at least pay for the
costs of opening it…It’s not doing us any good.”
The board voted to look into the value of the safe and try
selling it. Bowlin said with the combination, the safe is now
usable, or could be used for decoration.
“To the right person it might be worth something,” said
town roadman Bruce Jones.
On other agenda, Jones said the town is working on a
trailer to use for heating asphalt to patch blacktop when the
weather is cold. He says it’s something they really need and
that LP gas will be used for heat.
“I’m making a warmer trailer so it will blow fire and warm
up the asphalt so you can shovel it and put it in potholes and
stuff,” said Jones. “And probably with the percentages of
repairing blacktop going down because of the costs, I think
there’s going to be a lot more of this pothole business.”

The board also discussed getting bids for blacktopping on
295th, and requesting per mile costs for chip-sealing, so the
town can look into redoing Fisher Road.
“Next year I think we want to blacktop that (Fisher Road)
down to around the corner, then chip-seal the rest of it down
to the bridge,” said Bowlin.
Because the town can’t afford to do all of the blacktopping at once (only about a mile at a time), Bowlin says chipsealing takes a road and makes it last longer.
He also says the town should look into putting money into
their capital outlay fund, so an addition can be added to the
town’s storage shed to keep equipment out of the elements.
“It would be nice to put an addition on,” said Bowlin, suggesting a lean-to so equipment was covered. “It’s a shame to
see it sit out in the weather…Just something we should think
about for the next budget.”
As a reminder, the annual town meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday, April 19, at 7:30 p.m. at the town hall.
