Robotics trickling into workplace, classroom

As computers, automation and robotics become
more prevalent in the workplace, those in the workforce have made changes as
well. Workers are now more
productive in some aspects,
but can also find themselves
at risk of being replaced
by automation or cheaper
labor overseas.
Manufacturing employs
a large portion of the
population of Wisconsin,
and the same is true for
Washington
County.
According to information
collected by Economic
Development of Washington County, 22 of the 50
major employers in the
county are involved in some
type of manufacturing.
As technology changes
in the workplace, the way
students are taught has also
changed and continues to
change. New classes, technology and ways of learning are being implemented.
For West Bend School
District students in kindergarten through eighth
grade, coding has made an
appearance in the form of
Ozobots and the Dash & Dot
robots.
“We’re embedding it
(coding) into the classroom,”
Director
of
Technology and Professional Development Tim
Harder said.
It isn’t a separate part of
the curriculum, but is being
paired with the current curriculum, he added.
The robots have been
used by middle school students in social studies to
recreate troop movements

School in October in West Bend.
on battlefields throughout
history, one of
many
ways
technology
new
allows students to present
information.
Harder said these learning opportunities aren’t just
to teach students about new
career paths, but also how it
will be a part of their daily
life.
This upcoming school
year, middle school students
will be offered a computer
science business and information course.
going
to
“They’re
learn programming; they’re
going to learn to make an
app,” Harder said.
Guy Campbell, lecturer
of mechanical engineering
at
the
University
of
Wi s c o n s i n - Wa s h i n g t o n
County, said computers and
simulation software have
sped up many processes.
“Computers have replaced that requirement to do
math,” he said.
Software and cheaper
labor overseas can replace
some of the work that once
took hours, but the understanding of financial and
material needs of a product
and
company
remain
important and keep engineers employed.
Tom Roehl, process technology engineering instructor at Moraine Park
Technical College in West
Bend, said people are
becoming faster and more
efficient in the workplace.
“The ‘how’ is much
faster, but they need to
know the ‘why,’” he said.
Campbell said these
changes have been happening since the 1980s, but the
understanding of mechanical systems to make them
better and make new ones
remains essential.
Craig Hurst, professor of
music at UW-Waukesha
County, said he does not
have a title that sounds
like the typical person to
learn from about emerging
technology in the workforce, but a new course he
has been teaching for the
last three years can offer a
different way of looking at
the work environment.
Creative Problem Solving is the class and it is part
of the Bachelors of Applied
Arts and Sciences degree,
which was designed based
on a survey of businesses
and industries to see what
skills they wanted.
“Regardless of technology, the workforce will
always
need
critical
thinkers, creative problemsolvers and someone with a
global perspective,” Hurst
said.
What Hurst said has
changed is the increase in
robotics and machines in
the workplace. People need
to know computer skills to
tell machines, like printers,
how to operate, rather than
directly operating the printers.
The focus on creativity
and critical thinking is one
way the class has changed.
Roehl has changed it in
another way, referring to it
as “flipping the classroom.”
Students
previously
would come to class
for lectures and presentations and put the concepts
together outside of class.
Technology now allows
Roehl to spend time with
students as they put
the concepts together in
class.
The job market continues to look up for the
manufacturing and information fields in Wisconsin.
According to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, each
sector has seen yearly
growth since the Great
Recession.

Recidivism reduction funded for 2017 in Green Lake County
By Tony Daley
Work to keep offenders on track as productive members of society is getting help
in Green Lake County next year.
The Recidivism Reduction (RR) Program
meshes County law enforcement and human
services programming resources that will be
funded in 2017.
The amount reflected in June 8 minutes
of the Judicial/Law Enforcement (Jud-Law)
and Emergency Management Committee
session will be a total of $150,000 from two
appropriation sources.
Thanks went to Lori Evans, administrator in the Green Lake County Sheriff’s
Office, and recidivism programmer in the
county jail, Lynn Ryan, for coordinating
with the State of Wisconsin Department of
Corrections.
Work went towards assembling a program
description and proposed budget for the
Recidivism Reduction Program funding for
Green Lake County.
Program services draw from assets of the
County’s Department of Health and Human
Services and the Sheriff’s Department.
Recidivism reduction encompasses two
areas.
One is dealing with subjects while they
are incarcerated at the Green Lake County
Correctional Facility, part of the government
building complex at 571 County Road A.
Elements of programming may include
high school equivalency test preparation,
employment readiness, health/wellness
information, and support for incarcerated
individuals and their families.
Educational programming can also be
offered in affiliation with Moraine Park
Technical College.
Recidivism reduction includes the postincarceration phase which occurs after an
incarcerated individual is released from
a corrections institution. Features of such
programming may encompass communitybased aftercare group treatment programming facilitated in the Berlin community.
There is also assistance with transportation and resources for post-incarceration
individuals, and behavioral health treatment
available through County HHS’s Behavioral
Health Unit.
The gamut of services points to recidivism
reduction in combination with recovery tools
helping post-incarcerated individuals successfully reenter society and again be able
to contribute to communities.
Available services may be “determined
based on each individual’s unique needs and
recovery plan through a comprehensive assessment process,” according to RR Program
information provided by Ryan.
Part of Green Lake County’s “RR Program
Vision” is mental health services.
Such services are given to inmates in order
to enhance self-awareness and self-control
for those motivated to grow beyond their
delinquent behaviors. Cross-referenced in
RR directives are support, advice, help, guidance, and assistance for inmates and for postincarceration individuals on supervision for
their transition back into community life.
Initiation of services can come from current inmates within the corrections system or
by individuals on probation/parole either by
contacting Green Lake County’s Health and
Human Services or by getting referral data
from a probation/parole agent.
Recidivism Reduction’s funding support
in 2017 will aid delivery of services that are
part of many subjects’ recovery process.
That recovery continues as collaboration
between County enforcement and social
services as well as Moraine Park Technical
College, Probation & Parole of the Department of Corrections, and peer-support group
efforts within a therapeutic community.

“As a child I loved making clothes
and quilts for my dolls out of fabric
scraps my mother had left over from
sewing my clothes, curtains and
other items,” she stated. “In school,
I took all the home economics
classes I could. As a young mother,
I took my first quilting class wanting to make a baby quilt; I instantly
became ‘hooked’ and expanded my
skills through self-study.”
As an avid quilter for more than
32 years, Ehrenberg is a prominent
artist in her field. Her artwork
has been featured throughout the
world, from the Smithsonian Folk
Life Festival in Washington, DC to
the People’s Day Festival in Japan

Green Lake. She has taught traditional quilting for about 20 years
at area quilt shops, Moraine Park
Technical College, and many other
venues. In addition, Ehrenberg is
a Heritage Skilled Artist with the
Wisconsin Arts Board.
“I value quilts for the link to
the past that they can provide for
families, as a connection to earlier
generations and a symbol of family
history,” she remarked. Ehrenberg
can be found at The Green Lake
Community Farm Market each
Friday at Town Square.
For more information, call (920)
807-0008, or stop at the Town
Square front desk at 492 Hill Street

Friday Market
Town Square – Green Lake’s community center centrally located in
beautiful downtown Green Lake
– is host to The Green Lake Community Farm Market every Friday
from 3–6:30 p.m. through October
7. This Market takes place on the
east lawn unless the weather is
inclement, then the Market moves
indoors of Town Square.
Over 20 vendors who produce
items that are homemade or homegrown are present. Guests can find
a plethora of fabulous items including, but not limited to: organic
meats, yogurt, fruits, vegetables,
fresh-baked breads, pies, cookies,
folk art pieces, acrylic and watercolors on canvas, jewelry, textiles,
soaps, salves, lotions and organic
cleaners.
The featured vendor this week is
textile artist Pat Ehrenberg. A native
of Ripon, Ehrenberg grew up learning how to sew from her mother.
“As a child I loved making clothes
and quilts for my dolls out of fabric
scraps my mother had left over from
sewing my clothes, curtains and
other items,” she stated. “In school,
I took all the home economics
classes I could. As a young mother,
I took my first quilting class wanting to make a baby quilt; I instantly
became ‘hooked’ and expanded my
skills through self-study.”
As an avid quilter for more than
32 years, Ehrenberg is a prominent
artist in her field. Her artwork
has been featured throughout the
world, from the Smithsonian Folk
Life Festival in Washington, DC to
the People’s Day Festival in Japan
to the Gallery at Town Square in

Green Lake. She has taught traditional quilting for about 20 years
at area quilt shops, Moraine Park
Technical College, and many other
venues. In addition, Ehrenberg is
a Heritage Skilled Artist with the
Wisconsin Arts Board.
“I value quilts for the link to
the past that they can provide for
families, as a connection to earlier
generations and a symbol of family
history,” she remarked. Ehrenberg
can be found at The Green Lake
Community Farm Market each
Friday at Town Square.
For more information, call (920)

Square front desk at 492 Hill Street
in Green Lake. Programs at Town
Square are made possible by the

Recidivism reduction funded
for 2017 in Green Lake County
By Tony Daley
Work to keep offenders on track
as productive members of society
is getting help in Green Lake
County next year.
The Recidivism Reduction
(RR) Program meshes County law
enforcement and human services
programming resources that will
be funded in 2017.
The amount reflected in June
8 minutes of the Judicial/Law
Enforcement (Jud-Law) and
Emergency Management Committee session will be a total of
$150,000 from two appropriation
sources.
Thanks went to Lori Evans,
administrator in the Green Lake
County Sheriff ’s Office, and
recidivism programmer in the
county jail, Lynn Ryan, for coordinating with the State of Wisconsin Department of Corrections.
Work went towards assembling
a program description and proposed budget for the Recidivism
Reduction Program funding for
Green Lake County.
Program services draw from
assets of the County’s Department
of Health and Human Services
and the Sheriff’s Department.
Recidivism reduction encompasses two areas.
One is dealing with subjects
while they are incarcerated at the
Green Lake County Correctional
Facility, part of the government
building complex at 571 County
Road A.
Elements of programming may
include high school equivalency
test preparation, employment
readiness, health/wellness information, and support for incarcerated individuals and their
families.
Educational programming can
also be offered in affiliation
with Moraine Park Technical
College.
Recidivism reduction includes
the post-incarceration phase
which occurs after an incarcerated individual is released from
a corrections institution. Features of such programming may
encompass community-based
aftercare group treatment programming facilitated in the Berlin
community.
There is also assistance with
transportation and resources for
post-incarceration individuals,
and behavioral health treatment
available through County HHS’s
Behavioral Health Unit.
The gamut of services points to
recidivism reduction in combination with recovery tools helping
post-incarcerated individuals
successfully reenter society and
again be able to contribute to
communities.
Available services may be “determined based on each individ-
ual’s unique needs and recovery
plan through a comprehensive
assessment process,” according
to RR Program information provided by Ryan.
Part of Green Lake County’s
“RR Program Vision” is mental
health services.
Such services are given to
inmates in order to enhance selfawareness and self-control for
those motivated to grow beyond
their delinquent behaviors. Crossreferenced in RR directives are
support, advice, help, guidance,
and assistance for inmates and
for post-incarceration individuals
on supervision for their transition
back into community life.
Initiation of services can come
from current inmates within the
corrections system or by individuals on probation/parole either by
contacting Green Lake County’s
Health and Human Services or by
getting referral data from a probation/parole agent.
Recidivism Reduction’s funding
support in 2017 will aid delivery
of services that are part of many
subjects’ recovery process.
That recovery continues as
collaboration between County
enforcement and social services
as well as Moraine Park Technical
College, Probation & Parole of
the Department of Corrections,
and peer-support group efforts
within a therapeutic community.

MPTC holds GED/HSED
graduation June 16
FOND DU LAC—Moraine
Park Technical College held
its 24th Annual GED/HSED
graduation ceremony on
June 16.
For the 2015-16 school
year, 103 students received
their General Education Development and High School
Equivalency Diploma certificates.
Three of these individuals
served as student speakers
at the graduation event—
Ambiyo Munie of Mogadishu, Somalia; Christopher
Dietz, Beaver Dam; and
Thomas Helgeson of Beaver
Dam – and each reflected
on vastly different journeys
that led them to this point.
Munie had come to America seeking to provide a better life for her mother and
siblings in Somalia and took
six years to learn English and
earn her diploma. She currently lives in Fond du Lac.
“I am here tonight to tell
you that anything is possible
if you work hard and are patient. If you don’t have these
things, you cannot succeed,”
Munie said
Dietz spent 30 years in
the workforce before being laid off. As he looked
for new work and he came
close to landing a dream
job, only to lose out when
the employer discovered
he had not earned his high
school diploma. He credits
Moraine Park for help in rebuilding his career prospects
this late in life.
“The teachers at Moraine
Park were awesome. They
never looked down at me
and made me actually feel
intelligent. They really made
me feel I could get through
the process,” Dietz said.
He has since reapplied for
and earned the same dream
job he once missed out on.
Helgeson, the youngest

speaker, had started off his
high school career in excellent fashion. After freshman
year, however, he lost focus
and let his grades slip beyond repair. Now, with his
GED in hand, he just finished a Certified Nursing
Assistant course and is set
to start the Nursing Program
next fall at Moraine Park.
“This is my experience
and all of us are so much
different than each other—
our pasts, our goals, and
our futures,” Helgeson said.
“But we’re all sitting in the
same room together tonight,
so that has to mean a couple
of things: We’ve recognized
some terrific opportunities.
And we’ve capitalized on
them.”
State Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt was a special guest
speaker at the event. He
congratulated all of the
students for capitalizing
on these opportunities and
wished them continued
success moving forward.
“I don’t want you to look
at this as the end of a journey. I want you to look at this
as a new beginning. During
your quest for your GED, I
suspect that you learned a
lot about yourself. Maybe
you found skills you didn’t
know you had. Maybe you
rekindled some that hadn’t
been used in a long time …
[But] you have learned those
things to move forward in
your life,” Thiefeldt said. “I
congratulate you for reaching this point. I know this
isn’t the way you mapped
it out probably. But you got
there. You finished. And
now it’s time to begin again.”
In order to earn their
GED/HSED, students had to
pass four standardized tests
in math, language, social
studies and science, as well
as meet other requirements.
Also during Moraine
Park’s GED/HSED ceremony, Arletta Allen, Fond du
Lac, and Rachel Martinez.
Waupun, were presented
with Moraine Park Foundation Basic Education Scholarships. This is the sixth year
the $500 scholarships have
been awarded to one or more
students pursuing further
education at Moraine Park.
“Friends of Basic Education” awards were also presented to several staff members for their work with students. Earning awards were
Dan March, Joanne Michels
and Mel Kolstad. All three
were volunteers with Fond
du Lac Literacy Services.
Another “Friends” award
was also presented to Fond
du Lac Literacy Services as a
whole, with Doris Grajkowski accepting on its behalf.

FOND DU LAC - Brenda Bertram, a wife and mother
to four children ages 10-19, was recently honored as
the winner of a $500 scholarship presented by the
local Women in Management Chapter.

in Management)
Enrolled as a Business Management/Marketing
student at Moraine Park Technical College, Bertram,
a Fond du Lac resident, plans to continue her education at a university to obtain a
bachelor's and master's degree in marketing.
“When I complete my associate degree, I’ll work in the marketing field at the same time
I’m starting at a four-year campus,” Bertram said, noting her two oldest children will be
in college by then and living on their own.
A stay-at-home mom for many years, Bertram, now 40, had an earlier experience with
college beginning at age 18 when she completed three semesters at UW-Eau Claire
and a semester at Moraine Park Technical College. Her decision to return to campus
stems from helping to raise the family, to being able to make a difference in the field of
marketing and increase her chances at a more viable job in the workforce. She
currently works nearly full-time in summer and part-time while in school.
Bertram’s ultimate goal is to teach marketing on the technical college level after
gaining full-time experience as a manager in the sales and marketing field.
Women in Management is a local networking group for businesswomen who are in
management roles at their work site or who are business owners. For information on
joining the chapter, call chapter president Lori Burgess at 920-322-3022 or email

Moraine Park Technical College held its
24th Annual GED/HSED Graduation Ceremony on June 16. For the 2015-16 school
year, 103 students received their General Education Development (GED) and High School
Equivalency Diploma (HSED) certificates.
Three of these individuals served as student
speakers at the graduation event – Ambiyo
Munie of Mogadishu, Somalia; Christopher
Dietz of Beaver Dam; and Thomas Helgeson
of Beaver Dam – and each reflected on vastly
different journeys that led them to this point.
Munie had come to America seeking to
provide a better life for her mother and siblings
in Somalia and took six years to learn English
and earn her diploma. She currently lives in
Fond du Lac.
“I am here tonight to tell you that anything
is possible if you work hard and are patient.
If you don’t have these things, you cannot
succeed,” Munie said.
Dietz spent 30 years in the workforce before
being laid off. As he looked for new work, he
came close to landing a dream job, only to lose
out when the employer discovered he had not
earned his high school diploma. He credits
Moraine Park for help in rebuilding his career
prospects this late in life.
“The teachers at Moraine Park were awesome. They never looked down at me and
made me actually feel intelligent. They really
made me feel I could get through the process,”
Dietz said, noting he has since reapplied for
and earned the same dream job he once missed
out on.
Helgeson, the youngest speaker, had started
off his high school career in excellent fashion.
After freshman year, however, he lost focus
and let his grades slip beyond repair. Now, with
his GED in hand, he just finished a Certified
Nursing Assistant course and is set to start the
Nursing Program next fall at Moraine Park.
“This is my experience and all of us are so
much different than each other – our pasts, our
goals, and our futures,” Helgeson said. “But
we’re all sitting in the same room together
tonight, so that has to mean a couple of things:
We’ve recognized some terrific opportunities.
And we’ve capitalized on them.”
State Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt was
a special guest speaker at the event. He congratulated all of the students for capitalizing on
these opportunities and wished them continued
success moving forward.
“I don’t want you to look at this as the end
of a journey. I want you to look at this as a
new beginning. During your quest for your
GED, I suspect that you learned a lot about
yourself. Maybe you found skills you didn’t
know you had. Maybe you rekindled some
that hadn’t been used in a long time … [But]
you have learned those things to move forward
in your life,” Thiefeldt said. “I congratulate
you for reaching this point. I know this isn’t
the way you mapped it out probably. But you
got there. You finished. And now it’s time to
begin again.”
In order to earn their GED/HSED, students
had to pass four standardized tests in math,
language, social studies and science, as well
as meet other requirements.
Also during Moraine Park’s GED/HSED
ceremony, Arletta Allen of Fond du Lac and
Rachel Martinez of Waupun were presented
with Moraine Park Foundation Basic Education Scholarships. This is the sixth year the
$500 scholarships have been awarded to one
or more students pursuing further education
at Moraine Park.
“Friends of Basic Education” awards were
also presented to several staff members for
their work with students. Earning awards were
Dan March, Joanne Michels and Mel Kolstad.
All three were volunteers with Fond du Lac
Literacy Services. Another “Friends” award
was also presented to Fond du Lac Literacy
Services as a whole, with Doris Grajkowski
accepting on its behalf.

Electrical apprentice takes first
place in national competition
By RALPH CHAPOCO
[email protected]
262-306-5095
What began as an interest
developed into a passion,
and after intensely focusing
on his craft, Devin Kissinger
can call himself a champion.
Kissinger, an electrical
apprentice with Steiner
Electric and graduate from
Moraine Park
Technical
College, was
awarded first
place at both
the
state
and national
level in the
SkillsUSA
competition
for industrial
motor control.
“He
did
some
pretty
a m a z i n g
things that I
have never seen before,” said
MPTC Electrical Instructor
Mark Wamsley. “He was
always
very
accurate.
Sometimes I felt I was
searching for something he
screwed up.”
Kissinger knew he would
be strong at state and would
likely finish in the top 10 at
nationals, and said he was
ecstatic when he realized he
won the competition.
Kissinger had the background to succeed. He
worked with his grandfather
and other family members
when fixing homes. They
were
contractors
and
remodeled homes.
“I am motivated by seeing
the end result,” Kissinger
said. “One of the things I
like about electricity — no
matter what you are doing,
you are pretty much going to
use electricity. Even if you
are out in the field using a
cordless drill, you still have
to charge the battery at some
point.”
The entire competition
was set into two
stages. There is
a
state-level
event and if
students placed
high
enough
they
would
qualify for the
national competition in Louisville, Kentucky.
During the
state competition hosted at
Moraine Park,
there were a series of events
students had to compete in
that test various aspects of
the profession, including
electrical wiring, conduit
bending, an exam to determine if they understood
code regulations and a job
interview to prepare them
for a career. The activities
took
eight
hours
to
complete.
“I was nervous going into
it, to be honest,” Kissinger
said. “I had never competed
in anything like this before.
As the day progressed, I
tuned out all the judges and
the background and stayed

focused on the task that I
needed to take care of.”
The main aspect of the
competition was wiring a
circuit that, by flipping a
switch or pushing a button,
causes an action.
“I don’t think it was too
bad, considering I knew the
cabinet,” Kissinger said.
His name was announced
during an awards ceremony
in Madison and his performance earned him the opportunity to compete at nationals in June. Nationals was
on a much larger scale
where thousands of students
competed
across
multiple events.
The activities tested the
same concepts, but were
more intense and included
additional
activities.
Kissinger said there was a
written code test, conduit
bending, motor control troubleshooting and a ladder
diagram.
In total, the competition
took two days and was conducted under the watchful
eye of judges who looked for
every detail of their work,
including if they kept their
workspace neat.
Kissinger said organizers
provided a scenario, a blower to
fill a box with packing
peanuts and competitors
had to design a circuit to
make it work properly.
“At nationals they do
more mounting of the equipment,” Doe said. “At the
state level they are all
mounted on the cabinet.
They just have to write it. At
nationals, they have a box
full of parts and we have to
put it on the wall.”
Kissinger waited anxiously for the results when
the competition was complete. During a three-hour
awards ceremony, competitors watched for their names

on the screen as the different
competitions were called.
“I was amazed and
shocked,” Kissinger said.
“We all sat together in the
same state and when the
winners were announced,
people went crazy in our
section.”
As much as a surprise it
was for Kissinger, it wasn’t
for Robb Steiner of Steiner
Electric Inc.
“We were proud of him
but we weren’t shocked,”
Steiner said. “We knew
Devin’s talents and it was
cool, but I knew we had a
chance.”

FOND DU LAC - Ambiyo Munie’s journey of 13,000
miles — from Somalia to Fond du Lac — was
marked with pitfalls.
So it seemed like the wildest dream come true when
(Photo: Moraine Park Technical
College)
she crossed the stage at Moraine Park Technical
College last month to receive her GED.
It took her more than half a decade to earn her high school equivalency diploma,
accomplished through equal parts struggle and determination.
“It makes my heart beat,” the 50-year-old said. “Makes me so proud, I feel like I have
earned a Ph.D.”
Munie was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, located on the western horn of Africa that
juts into the Arabian Sea. When she was 10 years old her father died, and as the
oldest of 10 children, she was required to work to support the family. Her job in
construction entailed carrying bricks on her head in the hot sun.

Without a father there was no one to buy her books, a requirement for attending school
in Somalia.
At age 14 she became a housekeeper and babysitter. One day her boss’s cousin, who
worked at the Somalian Embassy in Washington, D.C., asked if she would travel to the
United States to work at the embassy.
“It was very difficult to leave my whole family, but I went because I had been asking
TOP VIDEOS
God to make my life easier,” she said. "I thought this was the answer."
Instead, her American dream turned into a nightmare. Munie was forced to work
without breaks, she said, and was often awakened in the middle of the night to attend
to guests. All her wages were sent back to her mother in Somalia. Eventually the
payment ended.
“Without the money, my mother couldn’t support the family anymore, so they were
going to send me back home,” Munie said.
Twice her employer at the embassy attempted to send her back to Africa. Because the
tickets at the airport were not in her name and didn’t match her passport, the airline
refused to allow her to travel. Her only recourse was to run away.

A little more than a year ago, Dr. Matthew Hurtienne,
Dean of the Beaver Dam Campus of Moraine Park Technical College (MPTC), a few others and I were talking
about many local economic opportunities given that this
community sits in the third-largest manufacturing congressional district in the United States.
It seemed to us that many things need to be talked
about with the people running our local manufacturing
plants, educational institutions and local governments,
as well as other community leaders. We felt that there
was great risk to our community if no action would be
taken.
Our group saw many great opportunities as well as
concerns that need to be addressed, like our employee
shortages. We were also concerned about the local retail
development and housing. We were also concerned
about the collaboration between current manufacturing
plants and local governments.
We looked at various trends and realized we need professional and experienced guidance to make an economic plan that would really work in the Mayville and
Horicon area. We clearly recognized our community
needs a vision for economic development.
Dr. Hurtienne took leadership of the group early last fall
and we started having formal meetings on November 16
last year. He was able to put a group of people together
that included representatives from Madison Region Economic Partnership, the Mayville and Horicon chambers,
Horicon Phoenix Group, Main Street Mayville, City of
Horicon Economic Coordinator, MPTC and a few local
business people like myself.
We continued to meet monthly. Our first order of business was to get economic development information to
both Mayville and Horicon. It was called ED101 training.
Both cities participated.
The next big thing we did was to hold an event called
“Economic Summit, Horicon and Mayville – Reaching for
2030” on June 23. Sixty-five came together to talk about
economic development.
Among those people were
representatives of key local
manufacturers, public educators and government
leaders, including the
county board chaiperson
and the Mayville and Horicon mayors. Our key
speakers were Donna
Andrew Johnson
Sykora of Alliant Energy,
Steve Johnson of John
Deere, Bob Kamphuis of
Mayville Engineering, and Paul Jadin of Madison Economic Partnership. Kathy Schlieve and Dr. Hurtienne
from MPTC coordinated the group discussions.
The reason I am telling our readers about this is
twofold. First, I want you to know that the people leading
these communities are doing something about economic
development. Second, I want to give you some background to the series of articles Gayle Rydstrom is writing
about the summit starting this week.She broke up her
story into a three-part series since there was so much
material.
Many Visitors Coming To Area
This seems to be the peak season for out-of-town folks
visiting our area. It is so exciting to see so many more
people coming to our area and picking up the Visitor’s
Guide we publish twice per year. Over the past three
weeks, I have been restocking approximately 600-800
copies of the Visitor’s Guide per week on our local newsstands. It is unbelievable, but really great news for our
area.
On another visitor note, we worked with the Lomira
Chamber to help it publish a local map for Lomira area
businesses. The maps are available at Lomira businesses.

Oshkosh Man Sentenced To Life In Prison For Girlfriends Murder
The 31-year-old Oshkosh man who shot his 42-year-old girlfriend to death last September was sentenced to
life in prison Friday. Samson Gomoll was in Winnebago County court for the sentencing hearing. In April a
jury found him guilty of 1st degree intentional homicide. He shot Stacey Strange to death in their apartment
after an argument on September 20th of last year. He could be eligible for parole after serving 32 years.
Oshkosh Robbery Attempt Fails
Oshkosh Police say a man claims two teenage boys tried to rob him Tuesday night behind a business in the
2000 block of Witzel Avenue. They knocked on the window of his vehicle and asked him to get out. They
demanded his wallet and phone. The man struggled with one of the teens and knocked him out, then got in
his car and left. The two suspects were black and about 16 to 17 years old. Anyone with information is
asked to call Oshkosh Police at (920) 236-5700.
Horicon Man Stopped For Fifth Drunken Driving Offense
Dodge County authorities say a 31-year-old Horicon man tried to run on foot from Beaver Dam Police after
he was pulled over for drunken driving. Police stopped him Thursday after seeing his vehicle swerve then go
through a flashing red signal. His blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit. Bond was set at
$50,000 cash. It’s his fifth drunken driving offense. A preliminary hearing is scheduled next Thursday.
BD Man Bound Over For Trial On Robbery And Theft Charges
The 33-year-old Beaver Dam man accused of armed robbery, burglary and theft has been bound over for
trial. Joshua Benson was in Dodge County Court for a preliminary hearing this week. According to the
criminal complaint he stole about $480 in cash and checks when he used a pocket knife to rob a BP Gas
Station. He also allegedly stole nearly $1,000 worth of liquor from the same store’s storage unit and
prescription drugs and a check from a Beaver Dam couple. He remains in the Dodge County Jail on a
$5,000 cash bond.

Explosive Found On Washington County Road
Washington County Authorities are investigating the origin of a home-made explosive device found on a
rural Town of Addison Road Thursday morning. A man found the device, put it in his vehicle and drove it to
his workplace before calling authorities. The Milwaukee County bomb squad was called in to examine and
dismantle the device. They say the make-up of the approximately quarter pound of explosive material could
have caused death or serious injury to the builder or anyone near the device had it exploded.
Computing Program Works For FDL School District
Fond du Lac School District Superintendent Jim Sebert says the 1-to-1 computer program at the High
School has worked well for them over the years. He says they first went to the Chrome Book program about
four or five years ago. He says as seniors graduated those computers were passed down to lower grade
levels. He says because of that they have technology at all grade levels now. He says they have also been
fortunate to have strong PTO programs that have helped them purchase things like Smart Boards and
document cameras for the classrooms.

community.
Verna Fowler, who retired this summer as president
of the College of Menominee Nation, is one
such lucky person.
"It's been a wonderful life," the 74-year-old said. "I have a lot to be grateful for."
Fowler shaped the college from the ground up in the early 1990s, making it one of two
remaining tribal colleges in Wisconsin today. Although many Native American colleges
have come and gone throughout the United States, colleagues say
Fowler's determination to make the school accredited, with a firm curriculum and
faculty, gave the school the foundation it needed.
She's seen the school move from her home to a multibuilding campus. She started
with 49 students who were mostly women in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Nearly 500
students attended the college in the last school year, many of them men and women
who had recently graduated from high school, and nearly 40 percent of whom are not
Native American.
The school grew from teaching four basic college courses to offering nearly 25
programs, including many two-year and certificate programs, as well as bachelor's
degree programs in business, public administration and early-childhood and middlechildhood education.

Linda Bartelt, executive director of the NEW Education Resource Alliance, praised
Fowler's leadership.
NEW ERA is a consortium of two- and four-year colleges in eastern Wisconsin,
including the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and UW-Oshkosh, Northeast
Wisconsin Technical College, Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton and Moraine
Park Technical College in Fond du Lac. Fowler was elected president of the NEW ERA
board in 2011.
"She is wonderful, so dedicated to higher education and what is possible," Bartelt said.

"There were concerns about tribal students going off to mainline campuses and being

Washington, D.C., meeting policy- and lawmakers, so she was a good fit to help
launch the school. The Menominee chairman basically told her to create a budget
within a few days, and tribal leaders would approve it.
Early in her life, Fowler became a Catholic nun and a teacher, and eventually became
a teacher and elementary school principal. She was attending American University in
Washington, D.C., when the Menominee Tribe was going through the process of
regaining status as a sovereign nation in the 1970s. The tribe's status had been
terminated by the federal government in 1954 and tribal lands became Menominee
County, but the new entity was too poor to fund its own social and public services,
leading to the fight to regain tribal status. Fowler's experience working with activist Ada
Deer prepared her for working with officials at the national level, she said.
Despite her years in education, Fowler said she knew very little about tribal colleges.
http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/education/2016/07/25/college-menominee-tribe-indians-wisconsin-verna-fowler-retirement/87030872/[7/26/2016 7:51:15 AM]
Menominee college president relishes school's success
"I knew in the back of my mind there were tribal colleges, but I never gave it any
thought," she said.
She was working on a doctorate degree in North Dakota when a friend insisted she
visit his tribe's college, about a four-hour drive away.
When she finally made the journey, Fowler said she was amazed to experience the
enthusiasm for education and the school among students, teachers and staff. The tiny
Turtle Mountain Tribe started its college by offering carpentry classes and requiring
students to rebuild some abandoned buildings to create classroom space.
"I was just amazed at what they had done," Fowler said.
Fowler's mentor told her a successful tribal college needed to be accredited, and
have a strong curriculum and good professors to succeed, according to Irene Kiefer,
director of advancement for the Menominee college.
"She did the right things to make it a successful school that students would want to
come to," Kiefer said.
Steady growth
At the outset, there was no room in the Menominee Tribe's administration building for
Fowler to run her college, other than a small desk. So she set up administrative
services in her home's basement, and borrowed classroom space from the public high
school.
The system worked for about a year. But as tribes around the United States and
Wisconsin began to build casinos they turned to the Menominees, who already had a
successful operation, to help train workers.
Fowler agreed to teach hospitality and similar sessions, but told tribal leaders she
needed actual classrooms.
The college started with two modular classrooms in what was then an open field. An
actual building came in 1994, and students continued to enroll.
"It grew so fast, I had a hard time keeping up," Fowler said,. "I was pedaling as fast as I
could."
The Menominee College later created a satellite campus in Green Bay to prepare
teachers for Head Start certification for the Oneida Tribe of Indians.
Fowler would like to see a theater program at the school, as well as a sports program
and an athletics facility. The college also does not provide student housing, which
Fowler said could be needed as younger students come to campus.
The college welcomes non-Indians with open arms, although students are required to
take either a Menominee language or Menominee history class, as well as a course in
sustainable development.
Even as the world becomes smaller with internet college courses, Fowler said
it's important for tribal members to have a nearby school.
"For many, this is their first college experience," she said. "I had a former Marine who
wanted to attend using the GI Bill. I asked him, 'How many credits can you
handle?' and he said, 'What are credits?'
"They need assistance learning about college, and the skills they need to be
successful at college, such as time management."

Menominee college president relishes school's success
But that won't stop them, Fowler said.
"I always tell people that I never admit to being wrong, but I will admit I was wrong
about this: I underestimated the desire of people for education," she said. "I never
knew we would survive this long."

WAUPUN – The first step in Waupun city government’s leadership
transition took place Wednesday when Kathy Schlieve was
promoted to the position of city administrator/economic
development director.
“I’m really excited for the opportunity,” Schlieve said Thursday.
Schlieve was hired as the city’s economic development director in
August 2015. Her promotion comes on the heels of an
announcement by Mayor Kyle Clark that he is stepping down at
the end of the month due to health concerns.

The 5-1 vote to promote Schlieve came after a closed session

“She has a pretty extensive background in human resources in

Schlieve worked in workforce and economic development for eight

development.
“It’s really about how we build stronger teamwork and

same private sector focus on talent development to the public

Waupun makes Schlieve

WAUPUN – The first
step in Waupun city government’s
leadership
transition took place
Wednesday when Kathy
Schlieve was promoted
to the position of city
administrator/economic
development director.
“I’m really excited for
the opportunity,” Schlieve
s a i d
Thursday.
Schlieve
was hired
as
the
city’s economic development
director
Schlieve
in August
2015. Her promotion
comes on the heels of an
announcement by Mayor
Kyle Clark that he is stepping down at the end of
the month due to health
concerns.
The 5-1 vote to promote Schlieve came after
a closed session meeting
Wednesday with Alderperson Pete Kaczmarski voting against it.
Kaczmarski said he was
concerned that the decision was made after
several closed session
meetings.
“I was against the
process without hearing public comments,”
Kaczmarski said. “I feel
that this has been rushed
through.”
In particular, he said
there should have been
more public discussion
about whether the city
wanted to continue with
a city administrator position. He said the decision
made Wednesday may
limit the ability of elected
officials to change the
structure in the future.
Prior to becoming
mayor, Clark served as the
city administrator. When
he was elected mayor,
the city council decided
to leave the city administrator position vacant.
Clark said that when he
was city administrator
the position included financial and budgeting responsibilities, personnel,
economic development
and other administrative
functions.
The budgeting and
finance duties are currently handled primarily
by finance director Jared
Oosterhouse. Clark said
making Schlieve city administrator takes advantage of her experience.
“She has a pretty ex-

tensive background in
human resources in the

Clark said.
Schlieve worked in
workforce and economic
development for eight
years at Moraine Park
Technical College and
prior to that spent 15
years in the private sector
with much of the focus on
workforce development.
“It’s really about how
we build stronger teamwork and collaboration,”
Schlieve said, adding that
she hopes to bring the
same private sector focus
on talent development to
the public sector.

Fond du Lac, The Reporter
Dreams lead to Fond du Lac, a GED
SHARON ROZNIK
USA TODAY NETWORK-WISCONSIN
FOND DU LAC - Ambiyo Munie’s journey of
13,000 miles — from Somalia to Fond du Lac —
was marked with pitfalls.
So it seemed like the
wildest dream come true
when she crossed the
stage at Moraine Park
Technical College last
month to receive her
GED.
It took her more than
half a decade to earn her
high school equivalency
diploma, accomplished
through equal parts struggle and determination.
“It makes my heart
beat,” the 50-year-old
said. “Makes me so proud,
I feel like I have earned a
Ph.D.”
Munie was born in
Mogadishu, Somalia, located on the western horn
of Africa that juts into the
Arabian Sea. When she
was 10 years, old her father died, and as the oldest of 10 children, she was
required to work to support the family. Her job in
construction entailed carrying bricks on her head
in the hot sun.
Without a father there
was no one to buy her
books, a requirement for
attending school in Somalia.
At age 14, she became a
housekeeper and babysitter. One day her boss’s
cousin, who worked at the
Somalian Embassy in
Washington, D.C., asked if
she would travel to the
United States to work at
the embassy.
“It was very difficult to
leave my whole family,
but I went because I had
been asking God to make
my life easier,” she said. "I
thought this was the answer."
Property of Wisconsin News Tracker and members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.
Instead, her American
dream turned into a nightmare. Munie was forced
to work without breaks,
she said, and was often
awakened in the middle of
the night to attend to
guests. All her wages
were sent back to her
mother in Somalia. EvenSee MUNIE, Page 6A

tually the payment ended.
“Without the money,
my mother couldn’t support the family anymore,
so they were going to send
me back home,” Munie
said.
Twice her employer at
the embassy attempted to
send her back to Africa.
Because the tickets at the
airport were not in her
name and didn’t match
her passport, the airline
refused to allow her to
travel. Her only recourse
was to run away.
Her luck turned when a
family in Maryland took
her in and employed her
as a nanny. The kindly
couple bought Munie everything she needed,
from toothpaste to clothing. They helped her learn
English and she earned
enough to send her mother $300 a month.
“Most
importantly,
they wanted me to become an American citizen, and drove me many
hours to Baltimore to take
citizenship classes,” Munie said.
Eventually, she met
her husband, Salah, who
was also from Somalia.
They moved to Wisconsin
and settled in Fond du Lac
18 years ago. Together
they raised five children.
Munie said she started
attending
classes
at
MPTC to show her children that education can
open doors to opportunity.
She works part-time as a
housekeeper and plans to
pursue a career in massage therapy.
“I wanted a better life
for myself, and I wanted
my children to have a better life,” she said.
Munie said she would
one day like to visit her
home in Somalia, but currently there is too much
violence and unrest in the
war-torn nation.
“This is my home now
and I want to be here forever," she said.

COLLEGE OF MENOMINEE NATION
Founding president relishes school’s success

JIM MATTHEWS/USA TODAY NETWORK-WISCONSIN
Verna Fowler, who retired this summer as president of the College of Menominee Nation, sits in the lobby of Shirley Daly Hall near the seal of
the College of Menominee Nation. The college is one of two remaining tribal colleges in Wisconsin, with nearly 500 students attending last year.
RETIRING WITH
NO REGRETS
PATTI ZARLING | USA TODAY NETWORK-WISCONSIN
ESHENA - Very few of us are fortunate enough to go
through life with no regrets and a genuine feeling we have
made a long-lasting contribution to our community.
Verna Fowler, who retired this summer as president of the College of Menominee Nation, is one such lucky person.
K
“It’s been a wonderful life,” the 74year-old said. “I have a lot to be grateful for.”
Fowler shaped the college from the
ground up in the early 1990s, making it
one of two remaining tribal colleges in
Wisconsin today. Although many Na-
tive American colleges have come and
gone throughout the United States,
colleagues say Fowler’s determination to make the school accredited,
with a firm curriculum and faculty,
gave the school the foundation it needed.
She’s seen the school move from
her home to a multibuilding campus.
She started with 49 students who were
mostly women in their 20s, 30s and
40s. Nearly 500 students attended the
college in the last school year, many of
them men and women who had recently graduated from high school, and
nearly 40 percent of whom are not Native American.
The school grew from teaching
four basic college courses to offering
nearly 25 programs, including many
two-year and certificate programs, as
well as bachelor’s degree programs in
business, public administration and
early-childhood and middle-childhood

education.
Fowler has seen former students go on to become attorneys, teachers
and a tribal judge.
Linda Bartelt, executive director of the NEW
Education Resource Alliance, praised Fowler’s
leadership.
NEW ERA is a consortium of two- and four-year
colleges in eastern Wisconsin, including the University of WisconsinGreen Bay and UW-Oshkosh, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, Fox
Valley Technical College
in Appleton and Moraine
Park Technical College in
Fond du Lac. Fowler was
elected president of the
NEW ERA board in 2011.
“She is wonderful, so
dedicated to higher education and what is possible,” Bartelt said. “She
sets an example to mentor
younger people in all different careers and opportunities. We certainly are
going to miss her.”
Fowler said she knew
when the time had come to
pass the torch. Although
in good health, back pain
makes traveling difficult.
And travel and networking are a big part of leading a college.
“I knew it was time,”
Fowler said. “After my
last trip, I said ‘Verna, you
can’t do this anymore.’”
She plans to help in any
way she can, including
grant writing and volunteering in the community,
while staying out of the
way of her successor.
“I won’t be walking
these halls,” she said with
a laugh. “I have to get out
of the way and let the new
creativity flow. There are
very capable and eager
people here with great
ideas.”
Fowler takes pride in
the school’s accomplishments.
“When I think about
my students, they persevere,” Fowler said. “It
may take them six years
to complete a two-year degree, but they do not give
up. I will see them in the
store, and they will say
‘I’ll be back next year. I
had to take a semester off
to earn money for college,
but I’m coming back.’
“That’s inspirational,”
she said. “To see their accomplishments and to
think of their families.
This is one of the poorest
areas of the state. It will
take time to make
changes, but education, in
my estimation, is about
the only way out of poverty.”
Every student is required to apply for financial aid, she said, and
about 95 percent qualify.
Funding
also
comes
through federal grants,
Bureau of Indian Affairs
grants, private scholarships and grants, and tribal subsidies.
The beginning
The tribe started the
college in part, because
community members live
an hour or more away
from other campuses.
Leaders noticed tribal
members, many of whom
were the first in their
families to attempt college, struggled to complete degrees, either for
financial or personal reasons.
“There were concerns
about tribal students going off to mainline campuses and being unable to
complete,” she said. “For
academic, financial and
social issues, and also cultural, they thought it was
important to have our own
college.”
Fowler already had an
impressive résumé in
education and had spent
time in Washington, D.C.,
meeting policy- and lawmakers, so she was a good
fit to help launch the
school. The Menominee
chairman basically told
her to create a budget
within a few days, and
tribal leaders would approve it.
Early in her life, Fowler became a Catholic nun
and a teacher, and eventually became a teacher and
elementary school principal. She was attending
American University in
Washington, D.C., when
the Menominee Tribe was
going through the process
of regaining status as a
sovereign nation in the
1970s. The tribe’s status
had been terminated by
the federal government in
1954 and tribal lands became Menominee County,
but the new entity was too
poor to fund its own social
and public services, leading to the fight to regain
tribal status. Fowler’s experience working with activist Ada Deer prepared
her for working with officials at the national level,
she said.
Despite her years in
education, Fowler said
she knew very little about
tribal colleges.
“I knew in the back of
my mind there were tribal
colleges, but I never gave
it any thought,” she said.
She was working on a
doctorate degree in North
Dakota when a friend insisted she visit his tribe’s
college, about a four-hour
drive away.
When she finally made
the journey, Fowler said
she was amazed to experience the enthusiasm for
education and the school
among students, teachers
and staff. The tiny Turtle
Mountain Tribe started its
college by offering carpentry classes and requiring students to rebuild
some abandoned buildings to create classroom
space.
“I was just amazed at
what they had done,” Fowler said.
Fowler’s mentor told
her a successful tribal college needed to be accredited, and have a strong
curriculum and good professors to succeed, according to Irene Kiefer,
director of advancement
for the Menominee college.
“She did the right
things to make it a successful school that students would want to come
to,” Kiefer said.
Steady growth
At the outset, there was
no room in the Menominee Tribe’s administration building for Fowler to
run her college, other
than a small desk. So she
set up administrative services in her home’s basement, and borrowed
classroom space from the
public high school.
The system worked for
about a year. But as tribes
around the United States
and Wisconsin began to
build casinos they turned
to the Menominees, who
already had a successful
operation, to help train
workers.
Fowler agreed to teach
hospitality and similar
sessions, but told tribal
leaders she needed actual
classrooms.
The college started
with two modular classrooms in what was then an
open field. An actual
building came in 1994, and
students continued to enroll.
“It grew so fast, I had a
hard time keeping up,”
Fowler said,. “I was pedaling as fast as I could.”
The Menominee College later created a satellite campus in Green Bay
to prepare teachers for
Head Start certification
for the Oneida Tribe of Indians.
Fowler would like to
see a theater program at
the school, as well as a
sports program and an
athletics facility. The college also does not provide
student housing, which
Fowler said could be
needed.
The college welcomes
non-Indians with open
arms, although students
are required to take either
a Menominee language or
Menominee history class,
as well as a course in sustainable development.
Even as the world becomes smaller with internet college courses, Fowler said it’s important for
tribal members to have a
nearby school.
“For many, this is their
first college experience,”
she said. “I had a former
Marine who wanted to attend using the GI Bill. I
asked him, ‘How many
credits can you handle?’
and he said, ‘What are
credits?’
“They need assistance
learning about college,
and the skills they need to
be successful at college,
such as time management.”
But that won’t stop
them, Fowler said.
“I always tell people
that I never admit to being
wrong, but I will admit I
was wrong about this: I
underestimated the desire of people for education,” she said.

Mihalko said her 22 years of accounting and financial management experience would be helpful to the position. She has no
previous political experience herself, but has spent the last five years working in the Clerk of Courts office for Ozaukee

"I look forward to using my experience and knowledge to continue to work for and serve the citizens of Ozaukee County,"
she said.
Both candidates answered questions related to the county and were limited to 50 words or less per question.
How do you plan to keep Ozaukee County up to date with not only software, but with other
advances in technology and best practices?
Mihalko: I plan to keep Ozaukee County moving forward by continually reviewing practices for efficiency and utilizing
resources, including state and municipal government partners, other organizations such as the Wisconsin County
Treasurer's Association and the Wisconsin Counties Association, and by continuing my education through the UW-Green
Bay Treasurer's Institute program.
Morrison: I plan on staying updated with technology by continuing to apply these advancements, as they happen, provided
the use of them is beneficial to the county's use, the county administration approves it, and that the need is fiscally
responsible enough to utilize taxpayer funds.

What in your experience sets you apart for this role as treasurer?
Mihalko:My extensive accounting and government experience set me apart. I am knowledgeable in statutory compliance,
currently have working relationships with the county board and departments and understand the importance of maintaining
accurate public records while providing quality service and being fiscally responsible. I believe there are always
opportunities for improvement.
Morrison: My experiences are in precision, accuracy, mathematics, and hard work. My greatest challenge will be not having
to be to work by 6 a.m. (Ha!). My greatest opportunities are the allowance for personal and professional growth as well as
having the ability to work for the public.

How do you propose to keep outstanding taxes low (programs, policies, advice, etc.)?
Mihalko:My collection experience along with current practices will assist in maintaining the low amount of outstanding
property taxes. If necessary, and determined to be fiscally responsible, I will explore the use of additional tools such as the
State Debt Collection Initiative successfully applied in my current position to increase collections.
Morrison:I will continue to carry on the standard of excellence and efficiency set forth by our current treasurer by following
the law and all of its statutes to the letter.

Three Injured In Winnebago County Accident
Winnebago County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a 30-year-old Menasha man early Wednesday morning for
driving drunk after he caused two accidents on I-41 that injured three people. Investigators say he ran into a
median wall just south of State Highway 26. A car also traveling north then came along and hit the truck.
The driver of that car, a 20-year-old Appleton man, was flown to ThedaCare in Neenah with serious but nonlife threatening injuries. His two passengers suffered non-life threatening injuries and were taken to
hospitals in Oshkosh. The pickup truck driver was outside of the truck when the car crashed into it. He
wasn’t hurt. The accident was reported at 12:23 a.m.
Toddler Saved From Drowning
A two-year-old boy was saved from drowning at the Hartford Aquatic Center Monday afternoon. A lifeguard
saw the toddler floundering in about two feet of water. She and other swimmers got the little one out of the
water and lifeguards and a nurse started CPR. The little boy had no pulse and wasn’t breathing, but they
managed to revive him. He was taken to Hartford Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
Waupun Common Council Will Select Interim Mayor
Waupun’s Mayor gave a tearful farewell during a special meeting of the Common Council this week. Kyle
Clark has resigned due to health reasons. Clark talked about how much it meant for him to serve the
community and then he thanked his wife for her support. The meeting was to decide how to fill the mayor’s
slot because Clark’s term runs until April of 2018. City Attorney Dan Vande Zande outlined different options
and the Council decided two things. They will hold a special election next April for the final year of Clark’s
term, but they will also appoint an interim mayor. (People interested in that should submit their names and
letters of interest to the City Treasurer by next Tuesday. The Council will select the interim mayor at their
August 16th meeting. Clark was with the City of Waupun for 31 years as City clerk and administrator and
has been Mayor since 2014.

Aviation Business Park Being Introduced In Oshkosh Today
What better place to introduce an Aviation Business Park than at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh? Audra Hoy of
the Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation says the business park at Wittman Regional
Airport is a project developed by Winnebago County and the City of Oshkosh. She says Wisconsin
companies employ more than 24,000 workers that support the aerospace manufacturing sector. The new
Aviation Park in Oshkosh is expected to spur over $73 million in economic activity in the next 10 years and
create 250 to 500 jobs in the area. Hoy says the feedback they’ve gotten at AirVenture this week tends to
support those projections. The new Aviation Park will be introduced today at AirVenture.
Aids Ride Traveling Through The Area This Weekend
Look for a number of bicycle riders in the area for the 2016 Wisconsin Aids Ride over the next four days.
Kristin Wollenberg of the Aids Resource Center of Wisconsin says it’s a 300 mile event that starts out in
Madison, but will use Horicon High School as a base camp. She says it’s supported by volunteers who do a
number of tasks including preparing meals for the riders. Riders gather pledges and do fundraisers ahead of
the event to raise money for it. On Friday the ride will take riders through Columbus Park in Campbellsport,
Buttermilk Creek Park in Fond du Lac, and Dale R. Michels Memorial Park in Brownsville before returning to
Horicon. Over the last 14 years the ride has raised $3.3 million for HIV prevention, care, and treatment
services in Wisconsin.

North Fond du Lac Schools Superintendent Aaron Sadoff says at least when it comes to education
Wisconsin’s Congressional Delegation works in a bipartisan spirit. Sadoff recently visited the Nation’s
Capitol as one of three representatives from the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators for
an advocacy conference. He says they were able to visit all eight of Wisconsin’s Congressman and the two
Senators. He says one of the things they have been working on is legislation that replaces what used to be
known as No Child Left Behind. He says the Every Student Succeeds Act is an overview of requirements
that states need to meet to get federal money to help schools out. Sadoff says they also learned more about
the reauthorization for the Carl Perkins Grant program that helps support career and technical education
pathways.

MPTC Career Employment Center
The Vice President for Student Services at Moraine Park Technical College says the construction seen
recently at the Fond du Lac campus is for a Career Employment Center. Stan Cram says students and
potential students can go there to get information on careers and jobs. He says there will be recruiters,
advisors and veterans there to help you. He says if you are looking for a job there is an employment person
there and also a career center. He says it will be a comfortable setting with a place for meetings. He says it
has a fireplace, lounge, and a community meeting room. He says like the new entrance for the Fond du Lac
campus they were very prudent with taxpayer dollars when they constructed the new center.

Plane Crash Victims In Critical Condition
Both men injured in a plane crash at the Fond du Lac County Airport Thursday are fighting for their lives at a
Neenah hospital. A spokeswoman for ThedaCare says 78-year-old David Spencer and 71-year-old Rafael
Chaves of Santa Fe, New Mexico are in critical condition at ThedaCare in Neenah. The two had engine
trouble after taking off from the airport. They tried to return and banked above some trees before crashing in
the northwest corner of the airport. They were flown from the scene to ThedaCare Regional Medical
Center.
Sheboygan Officers Justified In Shooting
Investigators now believe that the suspect in a deadly officer involved shooting in Sheboygan intended to
die in a gunfight with officers. Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco says the investigation
found that the officers from the Sheboygan police department did follow the department's policy on deadly
force, and that Kevin Higgins came prepared for a conflict with officers. He says Higgins was leaving the
Union Tap to find a shooting site to shoot officers as they arrived in response. He says Higgins was going to
use his parked vehicle as a fall back position. It had a loaded rifle in it. Higgins was shot and killed by
officers as he left the bar, and died at the scene. Investigators are still trying to determine if his weapons
and attachments were purchased legally. State Patrol Superintendent Steve Fitzgerald Retiring
Former Dodge County Sheriff Steve Fitzgerald is stepping down as State Patrol Superintendent. Fitzgerald
will retire next Friday after nearly 50 years in law enforcement. Governor Scott Walker appointed Fitzgerald
as superintendent in 2011. Before that Fitzgerald served as Dodge County Sheriff for 14 years. He began
his career as a Chicago cop in the 1960s. Fitzgerald is the father of State Senate Majority Leader Scott
Fitzgerald and former State Representative Jeff Fitzgerald who is now a lobbyist.
Beaver Dam Shooting Suspect Competent To Stand Trial
This week a Dodge County judge decided the 18-year-old Fitchburg man suspected of shooting a Beaver
Dam Fleet Farm employee outside the store is competent to stand trial. That reverses a previous ruling in
February that Jared Spencer wasn’t competent. A scheduling conference will be held in September. The
Fleet Farm assistant manager and a store security employee confronted Spencer in the parking lot of the
store about ammunition he stole on July 15th of last year. Spencer fired a handgun once striking the
assistant manager in the left wrist and shoulder. Spencer is facing nine different charges including
attempted 1st degree intentional homicide.
FDL Man Wanted For Attempted Burglary
West Bend Police are looking for a 22-year-old Fond du Lac man they suspect entered a woman’s home
and was going through her purse Wednesday afternoon. The woman confronted Cody Skilling who then fled
from the home. Police says he was visiting someone in the area. He has burglary, theft and drug
convictions. He is also wanted for a probation violation.
Childrens Vision And Learning Month
Fond du Lac City Council President Lee Ann Lorrigan presented a proclamation at this past week’s City
Council meeting declaring August Children’s Vision and Learning Month. Grant Lepley of Family Focus Eye
Care accepted the proclamation. He says 10 million children across the country have trouble reading and
learning related to vision problems. He recommends vision screening at an early age. He says children
should get a screening when they are six months to a year old. He says a lot of doctors in the area will do
free eye exams on kids that age. He says they can’t determine much at that age, but can get an idea about
a child’s eye coordination and ocular health. He says they can do a follow up when children are 3 to 5 years
old to see if they may need glasses.

County Health Official Avoids Training Session Because Of Zika Virus Risk
Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller recently took her own advice about exposing yourself
to the Zika Virus. She had the opportunity to go to an Emergency Preparedness Training session in
Emmitsburg, Maryland, but opted not to. She says mosquitoes in that area of the country can carry the
virus, which can represent an enhanced risk for pregnant women. Mueller herself is expecting. She says
three people from the County Health Department did attend the training session. Altogether about 60 people
from across Fond du Lac County attended the session.

finishing basements, siding houses, doing complicated wiring and working on motors. Easy, or at
least doable in time. Putting together words to describe the feeling winning a national

“When my name was shown on the board, everyone around me went crazy and started cheering.
It was hard to believe. It still hasn’t set in completely that I won.” He was crowned national
champion in Industrial Motor Control at the SkillsUSA national competition held June 23-24 in
Louisville, Ky. That followed-up his first-place efforts in an earlier statewide SkillsUSA
competition held in May. At the national event, Kissinger felt like he would have a decent

Fairly victorious
Hartford woman has
been exhibiting —
and winning — at the
county fair for years
By GAY GRIESBACH
For the Daily News
[email protected]
Diane
Schmidt-Mansavage
is
spending her week cooking, baking,
working on the perfect table settings
and arranging flowers, but not for a
fancy dinner party.
The Hartford woman has been
exhibiting at the Washington County
Fair, first as a member of the defunct
Farmington-area 4-H Bee Maries in
the late 1970s and as an open class
competitor since the fair moved from
Slinger to its present home in 1999.
As a junior exhibitor, food and
woodworking were two of her
favorites.
“I thought woodworking was neat.
I still have a footstool I made,”
Schmidt-Mansavage said.
She liked cooking so much she
attended the Moraine Park Technical
Institute in Fond du Lac to study food
service, but found her interest was
more in the creative instead of managerial aspects of food preparation.
Now a registered nurse at
Columbia St. Mary’s in Milwaukee,
Schmidt-Mansavage takes her vacation during the week of the fair.
On Tuesday, she entered her pumpkin bread, peanut butter cookies, beet
cake, white cake, brownies, maple
syrup bites, Viennese almond cookies
and a poppy seed cake into the open
class food competition.
Her poppy seed cake has been so
successful she’s exhibited it five times
and won blue ribbons with it in past
competitions.
“It’s just so good and easy to
make,” Schmidt-Mansavage said.
But she also enjoys a challenge.
“One year I got a merit award for
a schaum torte — those are very
Gay Griesbach/For the Daily News
Diane Schmidt-Mansavage expresses her surprise at winning grand champion and champion reserve ribbons for two of her open class table settings
Tuesday at the Washington County Fair. TOP: Schmidt-Mansavage stands
near her prize-winning open class black-and-white photograph of a violin
difficult to make,” she said.
Her test subjects include family,
friends and coworkers, and she
always has an eye out for new
recipes.
“I get recipes from everywhere; I
add, delete, try out different things,”
Schmidt-Mansavage said.
Every May she picks up a fair
premium book and starts picking out
categories.
“I don’t like to copy,” SchmidtMansavage said. “I try to make what
others don’t.”
“She’s always had a lot of excellent
bakery and brings in a variety in different classes. I’ve enjoyed working
with her,” Open Class Food and Food
Preservation Superintendent Barb
Falk said. “She’s always done an
excellent job.”
She’ll begin planning her recipes
for next year’s fair as soon as this one
ends.
Schmidt-Mansavage
said
her
entire family has had entries in the
fair, including her mom, Barbara,
who was bringing in her open class
food entries later that day.
She's saved all her ribbons, from
4-H as well as those from open class
competitions.
“I’d guess I have over 100 — in all
colors,” Schmidt-Mansavage said.
This year she earned a third-place
ribbon in the very competitive field of
open class photography and when
passing the table setting area, was
delighted to find she had won grand
champion and champion reserve ribbons for two of her entries.
Schmidt-Mansavage was planning
to make flower arrangements for her
next entries.
While she uses standard blooms
from her garden, she is always looking for unique ways to arrange them.
“The arranging — that’s where you
stand out,” Schmidt-Mansavage said.

Changes Recommended For Lakeside Park Draft Master Plan
Fond du Lac Public Works Director Jordan Skiff says it could be a few months before the Advisory Park
Board is ready to make a recommendation to the City Council about a Draft Master Plan for Lakeside Park.
Last week the board decided on a couple of changes. He says they decided to change the years they would
recommend doing a second pavilion in the park and a splash pad. They would recommend the splash pad
in 2018 and the second pavilion in 2019. Skiff says the board also wants the option of building a new bigger
pavilion on the site of the current pavilion. He says that would involve tearing down the current pavilion. The
new pavilion might have a restaurant on the second floor and expanded parking. He says Excel Engineering
will work on the recommended changes and bring them back to the Advisory Park Board.
Stop Signs Put In At Ninth And Main
Fond du Lac’s Public Works Department tells us stop signs have been placed at the Main Street and 9th
Street intersection. A traffic accident at the intersection damaged the traffic signal system. Starting today
the eastbound lane of 9th Street between Main Street and Linden Street will be closed to allow for repairs.
Westbound traffic on 9th Street will remain open to regular traffic. Eastbound 9th Street will be closed for
approximately three days. As the repair progresses, one lane of eastbound traffic will be reopened.
NFDL School District Has Projected Budget Deficit
North Fond du Lac Schools Superintendent Aaron Sadoff says they will start the new school year with a
projected deficit, but should be able to balance the budget during the year. He says they ended the school
year at the end of June with a balanced budget and did it without having to sacrifice their educational
offerings. He says they expect about a $150,000 deficit to start the new school year. He says that’s not
much given a $15 million budget. He says they are hoping that a favorable enrollment count on the third
Friday in September, revenue coming in and savings they will be able to counter that projected deficit.
Mercury And Brunswick Earnings Up In Second Quarter
Mercury Marine and its parent company the Brunswick Corporation both saw net sales and operating
earnings increase during the second quarter. According to its second quarter earning report Brunswick had
net sales of $1.2 billion, up about $100 million from the second quarter of last year. The Mercury Marine
group net sales for the second quarter were nearly $720 million, an increase of over $30 million. Operating
earnings increased $7.7 million for Brunswick and $7.2 million for Mercury during the second quarter.
Tech Knowledge College This Week
Moraine Park Technical College in Fond du Lac will hold its popular Tech Knowledge College this week.
Moraine Park President Bonnie Baerwald says it runs Tuesday through Thursday. She says it’s a chance to
get some hands-on learning experience. She says they tailor it for those in the last few years of middle
school sixth through eighth graders. She says typical class offerings would be for those interested in
culinary arts, nursing, corrections, and electrical.
Grant Will Help Expand Y Screen Program
The Fond du Lac School District is getting a grant to help fund the Fond du Lac County Y Screen Expansion
Project. The project aims to prevent suicide and connect students with mental health problems to critical,
timely services. Wisconsin Partnership Program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and
Public Health is awarding a total of nine grants throughout the state. Each project will get up to $50,000 for
two years.

Olson’s move creates
opening on Moraine Park
District Board
Applications
accepted
until Aug. 12

The
Moraine
Park
Technical College District
Board has an unexpected
vacancy due to the resignation of the School District
Administrator and member
Lisa Olson.
Olson moved from her
superintendent
position
with the Hartford School
District to the Whitnall
School District superintendent position. Moving
out of the county meant she
no longer filled the requirements for the position.
“I no longer qualify to be
on the Board,” Olson said.
There are typically nine
Board members, some with
a specific focus. There are
employer and employee
members, and the rest are
called additional members.
Terms for each member typically last three years —
Olson left after one year.
Olson said she wanted to
spend at least one term on
the Board. “I wanted to see
how we could build stronger
bridges between K-12 and
the tech school,” she said.
Moraine Park begins
accepting applications for
Olson’s position today
through Aug. 12. The applicant must be a school district administrator and
reside in the Moraine Park
district.
The district includes
Calumet, Columbia, Dodge,
Fond
du
Lac,
Green
Lake, Marquette, Sheboygan, Washington, Waushara
and Winnebago counties.
Applications should be
accompanied by two written

references. Applicants must
also attend a public hearing of the District Board
Appointment Committee,
which is tentatively scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Sept. 12.
“It’s a very clear process,” Executive Assistant
for the President’s Office
Jodie Schneider said.
Three Board members
went through the process
again to be reappointed in
July. Their terms will end
June 2019.
Vernon Jung was among
the three sworn in July 11
and has been on the Board
for 22 years.
“We very, very seldom
have vacancies,” Jung said.
Jung said the process
to be appointed to the
103-year-old Board is clear,
but thorough.
Though anyone who fits
the criteria may apply, they
will ultimately have to be
appointed by the County
Board chairs within the
district.
Olson said whoever is
appointed to the position
should make an effort to
immerse themselves right
away and attend events
in which students are
involved.
The term of the interim
appointment will expire on
June 30, 2018 when Olson’s
term would have ended.

Marked for patrol
Sheriff’s office
seeking squad
car designs
from public
By ALEX BELD
Times Press
The Washington County
Sheriff’s Office has called
for community members to
submit designs for their new
squad vehicles, which will
begin arriving in spring.
The call for submissions
came from a Facebook post
from the Sheriff’s Office,
indicating they would prefer
a design that makes the
squad car quickly recognized as a law enforcement
vehicle.
“We thought it was a good
way to involve the community,” Capt. Martin Schulteis
said.
The current squad cars
are Chevy Impalas, which
were discontinued as an
option.
The 2016 Ford Explorer
will replace them.
The Impalas sport a
design of three black lines,
close together on a white
background, with “emergency 911” interrupting the
lines near the rear quarter
panel. “Sheriff” and a sixpointed star can be seen at
the front doors.
“They’re kind of subtle,”
Washington County Historical Society Member
Sherrill Leifer said. She
hasn’t noticed much of a
change since she moved
here in 1977.
In the 1980s and 1990s,
there were two thick black
lines instead of three thin
ones.
Since the 1970s, the squad
cars have said Sheriff and

MALONE
There are probably several thousand people who
have a mailing address with the Malone zip code of

(Photo: Ray Mueller)
of the unincorporated village in northeast Fond du
Lac County which boasts one of the largest rural mail
delivery territory anywhere.
Among the exceptions are John and Joan Brusoe, who've lived in the community along
Fond du Lac County W for the past 47 years. In their retirement, they've taken up a
pair of collection and restoration hobbies — hay trolleys and farmyard windmills — that
one would not expect from anyone who was not previously involved in farm life.
TOP VIDEOS
John Brusoe attributes his interest in and curiosity about the history of those pieces of
equipment that were standard on many farms in the late 1800s and early decades of
the 1900s to two things — his “fascination with wind” and his attendance at county fairs
as a youth in his native Upper Michigan.
MORE STORIES
Teaching in Wisconsin
After graduating from Northern Michigan University in 1965, Brusoe taught business
classes for one year at a junior high school in Sheboygan. While there, he met his wife,
Joan.
Ag industry leader, Doug
Wolf, passes away at 61
Aug. 3, 2016, 12:55 p.m.
Brusoe taught in New Holstein for the 1966-67 school year. Then he began a 32-year
career as a teacher of accounting to students of all ages at Moraine Park Technical
College in Fond du Lac.
100 years of research
Aug. 3, 2016, 11:47 a.m.
Realizing how “my whole life was in books,” Brusoe developed an interest in
“preserving farm heritage” by saving, restoring and displaying items that most people
would discard because something else had come along to replace them.
In the case of hay trolleys, their demise was hastened by the hay balers introduced by

windmills, it was the coming of electric power to rural areas in the 1930s and 1940s
that then handled the pumping of water.
Claiming that he's not a mechanical expert, Brusoe opted for the most simple and
uncomplicated units that could still be found. Their hobby has taken the Brusoes to
numerous conventions, shows and other events around the country during the past 10
years.

Brusoe team pursues farm equipment history
Hay trolley heaven
To anyone seriously or even casually interested in hay trolleys, Brusoe recommends
the HayTrolleyHeaven.com website. He was first drawn to hay trolleys after reading
about them in the May 2003 issue of Farm Collector magazine that was published in
conjunction with a collector group's convention.
The Brusoes attended that convention the next year. They credit Steve Weeber of of
Iowa City, IA, an early collector of hay trolleys, with helping them develop their own
collection. And they're proud 10-year plus members of the Hay Tool Collectors
Association.
Hay trolleys became popular as a labor saver on farms for moving loose hay into mows
for storage to feed cattle and horses during the winter. They were a major
improvement on the pitchforks, single and double harpoon forks, grapple forks and
“muscle” that were the previous tools for “putting up” hay in barns, Brusoe observes.
With the trolleys, the tracks or rails on which they rolled, ropes, swivels, and slings or
carriers, farmers were able to “put up” their hay in mows either through an entrance on
a sidewall of the barn or from inside. In effect, the hay was being dropped from above
thanks to the trolleys.
History of hay trolleys
The country's industrial capacity that was developed during the Civil War led directly to
the manufacture of equipment that was quickly adapted on farms in the following
decades, Brusoe points out. Literature on the topic indicates that the high point in the
market for hay carriers or trolleys continued from 1868 to 1910.
There were 50 manufacturers of the carriers but five of them accounted for 60 percent
of the production. Those company names were Hunt Helm Ferris, F.E. Myers & Bro.,
Porter, and Ney Mfg. The fifth one on the list was Louden, which specialized in
obtaining patents.
Brusoe notes that the first swivels were designed by Richard Miller and made by Eagle
Fork at Stephensville (near Appleton). The Star Crossed draft sling carrier was made
the Myers company at Harvard, IL.
Other companies made the tracks on which the trolleys rolled. One unit the Brusoes
have is an 1870 split rail model with a Powell's Patent date of May 24. They also have
a Myers unloader and a Hudson brand name unit.
Brusoe explained that the Myers unit had an “open throat” concept while others had a
“closed throat.” He noted that closed throats had a tendency to wear. When owners
had to replace a track, they had to stay with the same brand because of the sizing.
A continuing search
Although they own and show a number of hay trolleys made by the leading
manufacturers in Wisconsin and nearby states, the Brusoes are interested in finding
even more. They've obtained most of their units at flea markets, in conjunction with the
takedown of barns and through referrals and calls made by people who know them.
Among the places they've obtained units are from near Stevens Point and in Iowa and
Nebraska.
When the Brusoes acquire an item, that's when the serious teamwork begins. John

Brusoe team pursues farm equipment history
handles the major structural or other tasks while Joan specializes in the painting or
other final detail updates.
To teach other people about the units they have, the Brusoes have an extensive array
of posters, pictures, illustrations, and displays for those units. Some of them are taken
from advertisements, catalogs or operator's manuals.
In the local area, the Brusoes can be found with a display of their collection almost
every year at the Meyer family's antique tractor field day near Charlesburg, the
Wisconsin Steam Engine Show in Chilton (Aug. 13 and 14 this year), at the Empire
Threshing Association field day (Aug. 27), and at the Vintage Steel show at
Calumetville on the Calumet and Fond du Lac County line Sept. 17 and 18.
Backyard windmills
The second part of preserving a bit of farm heritage that the Brusoes have chosen is
the placement of three smaller unit windmills in their backyard with two more on the
horizon. Brusoe said his curiosity about windmills is fanned by the difference in types
and styles.
Among them, the Aermotor was the most popular before the widespread installation of
electricity on farms, Brusoe said. Another was the Eli, which was made in Nebraska
City, NE, has a 10-foot fan and was the only gearless windmill ever made.
The third windmill which stands on the Brusoes' property is the Monitor, which has a 5foot fan, was made in Evansville and had an open gear. He also mentioned the Flint
and Walling 5-foot Star Zephyr model from 1937 that has an oil bath.
Wind-powered battery charger
A largely forgotten device that was used for a number of years to obtain power from
the wind was the wind-powered battery charger, Brusoe said. It was used on farms as
a source of cheap energy before electric power was extended to rural areas less than
100 years ago.
The first such unit was made in 1927 the by Albers brothers on their farm in Iowa.
Named Wincharger, it was first used to recharge a 6-volt storage battery that was used
to operate vacuum tube radios. With later capacities up to 32 volts, it was used to
power lights, refrigerators, water pumps, washing machines, vacuum cleaners,
toasters and cream separators on farms.
Zenith Radio bought the Wincharger company in 1937 and continued making the units
until 1968. The Brusoes restored a 6-volt Wincharger, which they then donated to the
Eden Historical Society.
An additional interest for the Malone couple is the keeping of honeybees. With the
losses of population due to one or more causes and the cost of replacement bees,
they're down to one hive today after once having up to four hives.
The Brusoes can be contacted by email to [email protected] or by phone at (920)
795-4414 or (920) 204-2530.

Departing Seniors Have
Last Words
By Judy Harlow
After the 4-0 loss to the
eventual state champion
Menomonee Falls, the
Kewaskum High baseball
team bid farewell to its
three
seniors,
pitcher/infielder Michael
Prochnow, third baseman
Devyn Zillmer and outfielder Zach Heberer.
All will be missed next
year, and the three will
also miss participating in
the sport.
Here are a few thoughts
they offered to the
Statesman in recent interviews, including what they
felt were memorable
moments, what they will
take from the sport that
will be useful in their
adults lives, and their
plans for the future.
“I’d say my memory
would have to be my
freshman year when we
knocked off Plymouth in
the first game of the sectional,” Prochnow said,
adding a second major
memory was “hitting a
home run in the first (North
Shore) conference game
of the year against
Cedarburg.”
Prochnow, who batted
.450 against North Shore
opponents and had a
team-high three homers
this summer, will be
attending UW-Oshkosh in
the fall. He said he plans
to study secondary education in order to become a
mathematics teacher.
As far as what he
learned
in
baseball,
Prochnow offered three
ideas: “always work hard
even if no one is watching,” along with the idea of
overcoming
adversity
because “You don’t want
little things to hold you
back in life.”
The third comment he
offered is, “No matter what
you’re doing, make sure to
have fun.”
Zillmer, who batted .250
(12x48)
and was 2-0
pitching for the Indians in
their 10-8 NS season, can
still remember starting out
in baseball. “Probably the
first plate appearance on
varsity my freshman year.
It
was
against
Menomonee Falls,” he
said about his biggest
memory. And did he get a
hit against Falls? No, “I
lined out to the shortstop,”
he said.
His other memory was
“when we beat Nicolet in
the playoffs last year. We
won on a walk-off wild
pitch.”
Zillmer’s future plans
include college at the
Milwaukee School of
Engineering in Milwaukee.
“I want to get my engineering degree and hopefully
get a good career,” he
said.
From baseball to adulthood, Zillmer will remember the importance of hard
work and perseverance,
like fighting through a batting slump and to remember things can go the other
way if you let them. “It can
turn on you real quick, like
life can,” he said. “The
game (of baseball) will
always humble you.”
Zach Heberer had very
few errors while playing in
left and center fields and
batted .273 (15x55) for
Kewaskum in his final year
in the sport. “Probably my
best game was last year in
our first game against
Homestead. I went 2x3
with a double and a single,
and I played pretty good
outfield,” he said.
Heberer’s plans will
begin very quickly, as he
starts school at Moraine
Park Technical College the
last week of August. “I
want to be an electrician,”
he said.
When it comes to baseball lessons, Heberer said
first, because of baseball’s
complex nature, “You’ve
got to know what the
game is about before you
start playing.”
He will take a lesson
from his head coach Doug
Gonring into life. “Doug
always wanted us to play
hard, work as hard as we
could,” he said.

Next Steps For Horicon And
Mayville Reaching For 2030
...continued from front
• Sense of teamwork or
setting aside personal feelings and agendas for the
good of the region,
• Find outside people to
get costs and framework,
• Make sure the citizens
are aware of the plan and
keep them informed,
• Develop of funding
plan,
• Identify a champion or
face of the project,
• Get the message to
schools so students understand and get involved,
• Collect information
from communities that
have done this before and
get direction from them
(benchmark),
• Form of a professional
committee with a strong
leader,
• Name the initiative something that clicks with
the community, such as
something regional or with
the word water involved.
Participants had been
given six colored dots.
They were to use three of
them at this summit to vote
for those items they
thought were most important for starting the regional
project, and could put more
than one next to something
they really believed to be
vital.
The other three dots
were to be saved for when
the second summit conference is held.
Final Comments
“This morning has been
about big issues,” said
Jadin. “We’ve gotten off to
a very significant starting
point.”
He said he’s been involved in items on the city,
county and state level.
Jadin told participants that
he had the most input on
the city level.
“As the mayor of Green
Bay, I had the opportunity
to drive economic development in a very specific corporate area,” said Jadin.
He continued by telling
the two mayors, Steve
Neitzel of Horicon and Rob
Boelk of Mayville, that they
could be the face of the
project.
“There are two problems
when you do an asset inventory on your own,” said
Jadin.
One is humility.
“You tend not to understand how truly great things
are in your community,”
said Jadin.

that morning. Invited participants held discussions in small
groups and as a whole during the summit, which was held
at Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center. Ideas were
discussed on how to keep the two communities moving toward the future. (Gayle Rydstrom | Dodge County Pionier)
The second probably is
what Jadin called being
true to your school attitude.
“You tend to look at
things through rose-colored
glasses,” he said. “You
need to be honest with
yourselves. The only way
to do that is ask people
who don’t live here.”
Jadin said a plan is
mandatory, and don’t worry
about it being a great plan.
“Get something implemented sooner than later,”
he said. “Don’t fuss over
getting a great plan because it will take you five
years.”
Jadin told participants to
look for professionals and
influential leaders as they
take the next steps.
“A strong region depends on strong local government and strong local
economic strategy,” said
Jadin.
Closing out the economic summit was Dr.
Matthew Hurtienne from
Moraine Park. He is a
member of the committee
that brought the summit to
fruition.
Hurtienne urged participants to use their dots for
voting before leaving the
conference room so that
the committee could use
thethe data for the next
step.
“When we go out and try
to get individuals to support
this initiative, to back us,

said Hurtienne.

was a wealth of information, knowledge and leadership in the room.

who can make a change in
our communities,” said
Hurtienne. “Today was one
small step.”

More Wrucke Property To Be
Added To New TIF District
by Gayle Rydstrom
Less than one year ago,
the City of Horicon purchased three 40-acre
parcels of land from Cynthia Wrucke on Hwy. 33,
west of Horicon. At the July
26 council meeting, the
council unanimously approved ordinances that
would allow the final parcel
of not quite 40 acres to be
added to TIF #5.
A public hearing, with
two individuals attending,
was held for the zoning
change request for the 40acre parcel to be rezoned
from prime agriculture to
combination limited industrial and heavy industrial.
Neither of the two individuals voiced an opinion.
Scott Harrington from
Vandewalle & Associates
addressed those in attendance regarding the property. He said the 40 acres
being discussed includes
the house.
“The city now has a contract purchase offer for that
which is contingent upon
completion of this annexation comprehensive plan
change, rezoning and
adding the property to the
tax increment district,” said
Harrington.
He added that as with
the previous land acquisition, most of the acres
would be general industrial, but the front acres
would be limited industrial.
“The uses that are permitted in each are pretty
much the same; but with
limited industrial, the heavy
stuff would require a conditional use permit,” said
Harrington. “That gives the
city a little more ability to
look at it and make sure it
is appropriate for being on
Hwy. 33.”
There are two access
roads at this time. As it
stands, those will be the
only two. Horicon Police
Chief Joseph Adamson
said that he liked staying
with only the two as it
makes responding to any
calls better. Harrington said
he believes there will be a
loop driveway with the
businesses on either side.
The annexation of the
property from the Town of
Oak Grove to the City of
Horicon was unanimously
approved.
Unanimous approval for
ordinances 2016-08 and
2016-09 as well as resolution 2016-07 was given
without any discussion.
The ordinances included
adopting amendments to
the comprehensive plan
and the rezoning of the tax
parcel. The resolution was
approving the project plan
amendment No. 1 to Tax
Increment District #5.
“This brought us to the
point where we are much
closer to completing this
deal,” said Mayor Steve
Neitzel.
He added that there are
many steps for the city to
buy land.
The changes to the
property are not official
until the joint review board
approves them on August
11. That board includes
representatives
from
Dodge County board of supervisors, Horicon School
District, Moraine Park
Technical College and the
City of Horicon as well as a
member of the public. The
latter was appointed at the
July joint review board
meeting.
